Crop insurance isn't a barrier to adoption of conservation practices and has a role in helping farmers to maintain healthy soil, according to a new peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Environmental Management.
During the study, researchers from Purdue University, Arizona State University, and the Nature Conservancy used interviews and a multi-state survey to determine if crop insurance requirements limited cover crops and conservation tillage for corn producers in the Midwest, according to a written statement from National Crop Insurance Services promoting the study.
