With funding from the Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University, Iowa Farmers Union and the Center for Rural Affairs are starting a two-year project to gather data and analyze the relationship between Iowa farmers and two major financial components of American agriculture – crop insurance and credit. This project will gather data on the experiences and perceptions of farmers, agricultural lenders and crop insurance agents.

Iowa farmers, crop insurance agents and agricultural lenders are invited to complete the survey online at www.cfra.org/survey/agfinance. If you’d prefer a written version of the survey or have any questions about the project, please contact Kim Preston at the Center for Rural Affairs, 402.687.2103 x 1022 or kimp@cfra.org.
