DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Agriculture has submitted the following
information collection requirement(s) to OMB for review and clearance
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104-13. Comments
are requested regarding: whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility; the
accuracy of the agency's estimate of burden including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used; ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Comments regarding this information collection received by December
13, 2024 will be considered. Written comments and recommendations for
the proposed information collection should be submitted within 30 days
of the publication of this notice on the following website
<a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular information
collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--Open for

An agency may not conduct or sponsor a collection of information

a currently valid OMB control number.
Economic Research Service
Title: Corn and Soybean Grower Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0536-NEW.
Summary of Collection: 0536-NEW. The proposed data collection will
use a survey of corn and soybean farmers in the Midwestern U.S. to
study farmers' preferences for participating in programs that support
cover cropping and gather new information about current cover cropping
practices. The survey will use questions on contract enrollment to
examine how contract flexibility, ease of applying, payments, and other
aspects of cover crop contracts affect farmers' willingness to enroll
their corn and soybean fields in cover crop programs. Results will be
compared between farmers with no history of cover cropping in Federal
programs and those who have cover cropped in Federal Programs.
Need and Use of the Information: USDA agencies are interested in
supporting the long-run adoption of climate smart conservation
practices such as cover crops. There are multiple Federal, state, and
private programs that support planting cover crops. This study will
provide information about current use of cover crops as well as what
influences participation on programs for cover crops. Data will be used
for research purposes and only reported in the aggregate. The
information provided by this study will benefit farmers, non-
governmental organizations, and industry stakeholders as well as
policymakers and program managers at the local, State, Tribal, and
National levels.
Description of Respondents: Individuals.
Number of Respondents: 2,500.
Frequency of Responses: One time.
Total Burden Hours: 2,411 hours.
