Overview

Purdue University and the University of Cambridge are partnering up to learn how AI can support Midwest farmers in managing cover crops more effectively. This collaborative project aims to understand the practices, preferences, and challenges farmers face—whether they currently use cover crops or not—so they can create data-driven, location-specific tools to guide planting and termination decisions.

Your responses to two short surveys will help shape the future of AI-informed farming tools. With input from farmers like you, they aim to build resources that reflect real needs and deliver practical, adaptive recommendations.

For 2025, researchers are especially focused on improving cover crop adoption by using credible agricultural data and AI to generate smart, personalized management plans.

2024–2025 COVER CROP DECISION TOOL SURVEY

Purdue University and the University of Cambridge aimed at developing AI-powered tools to support Midwest farmers in making smarter cover crop decisions. By completing two short, anonymous surveys, farmers—whether or not they use cover crops—can contribute their insights and receive $60. The study uses credible agricultural data to create tailored, location-specific recommendations for improving cover crop management.
