University. Currently, I am doing research on cover crops to learn more about the perspective of farmers about cover crops, explore the challenges and benefits of cover crops, and farm resilience in the South and Central Texas area. This project is supported
by a USDA grant. I would appreciate your help in completing the survey and being a part of the cover crop adoption initiative.</span></div>
