Are you a dairy farmer? We need your input!
Pollinator Partnership (a 501c3 nonprofit) is conducting this survey and we appreciate your voluntary participation. We invite you to take the “Pollinator-Friendly Management in Dairy Farms” survey to help us understand the challenges and opportunities of using pollinator-friendly management practices on dairy farms.
Who is the survey for?
We want to learn from all types of dairy farmers across the United States, big or small! If you help manage a dairy farm, or previously owned or managed a diary farm, we want to hear from you.
What is the survey for?
We will use the survey responses to help guide the development of resources to benefit dairy farmers and those interested in making dairy operations pollinator-friendly.
Why are pollinators important?
Pollinators are essential to our functioning ecosystems and our food supply. Nearly 90% of the world’s flowering plants need pollination, including most of our food crops. Pollinator-friendly management practices, such as creating nesting habitat near and on the farm, providing sources of nectar and pollen for feeding, and practicing integrated pest management, all help support healthy pollinator populations and diversity. Pollinators can provide significant benefits to producers by increasing pollination efficacy, improving soil health and water retention, providing erosion control, sequestering carbon, and more.
Please take the survey online, or email ljs@pollinator.org if you are interested sharing your opinions via a phone call.
