Farmers Invited to Participate in Soil Health Research
Penn State researchers invite farmers to participate in a study on decision-making for Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation (ASD) and Soil Steaming Disinfection (SSD), particularly in high-tunnel systems. The goal is to better understand how farmers evaluate and decide whether to adopt soil health and disease management practices, so that future Extension programs can better support farmers' needs.
Who can participate?
Mid-Atlantic farmers who grow crops in high tunnels and are 18 or older, whether they have adopted, considered, or decided not to use ASD or SSD. No prior experience is required.
What's involved?
- A 5–10-minute online survey, and/or
- A 30–60-minute interview (in person, online, or by phone)
Participation is voluntary and confidential.
Interested?
Complete the survey and optionally sign up for a follow-up interview.
