SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: National Conservation Practice Adoption Motivations Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535NEW.
Type of Request: Intent to seek approval to create a new information collection for a period of three years.
Abstract: The purpose of the survey is to target operations who own or operate cropland and/or concentrated livestock feeding operations. NASS will collect information about these types of operations to understand conservation practices within the United States in terms of the following: 1 How often are specific conservation practices adopted without assistance, with technical assistance and/or financial assistance.
2 How does adoption evolve over time? What proportion of producers who try a given practice continue or expand use over time? How many discontinue the practice? 3 What motivates farmers to initially try a practice and then continue, expand, or discontinue use? The questions reflect a range of factors including conservation needs, experiences of neighbors, financial benefits or costs, producers time and effort, availability of technical and financial assistance, regulation or conservation compliance, and concern about the environmental quality. The United States Department of Agricultures Natural Resources Conservation Service has entered into an interagency agreement with NASS to conduct this survey.
Authority: These data will be collected under authority of 7 U.S.C.
