Cover Crop Survey
Help shape the future of cover cropping in Ontario and the Canadian Prairies.
The Cover Crop Survey for crop advisors will be delayed in opening. Please check back in January.
All perspectives welcome!
The survey is open until March 31, 2026. Thank you for taking the time to share your insights.
This year’s survey is open to all farms and crop advisors across Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta.
- All farm types and sizes that did or did not grow cover crops during the 2025 growing season.
- Farms that previously used cover crops but have since stopped.
- Crop advisors, whether they advise on cover crops or not.
HOW WILL YOUR PARTICIPATION HELP?
By gathering insights directly from farms and those who support them, the survey builds a deeper understanding of the evolving dynamics of cover crop use in Ontario and Prairie agriculture.
Participation is anonymous, and data is reported at the Provincial level, with the option to receive the final report.
The crop advisor survey was approved by the Research Ethics Board at the University of Manitoba. Dr. Yvonne Lawley, Associate Professor in the Department of Plant Science, is the Principal Investigator for the survey and can be contacted with questions or for further information by email at Yvonne.Lawley@umanitoba.ca.
The 2025 Cover Crop Survey is led by researchers from the University of Manitoba, Manitoba Agriculture, and the Ontario Cover Crop Steering Committee
