CEAP Reports Tracking U.S. Conservation Trends Now Available Online

The multi-agency Conservation Effects Assessment Project (CEAP) uses natural resource and farmer survey data and physical process modeling to estimate the environmental effects of conservation practices on cultivated cropland. USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service conducted the first set of farmer surveys in 2003–06 (CEAP I) and the second set in 2013–16 (CEAP II). Following the CEAPII national report, this report series estimates shifts in conservation adoption and effects between the CEAP survey periods at the regional scale.

Full and summary versions of the reports are available for 11 U.S. regions.

Findings are intended to help guide conservation policy and program development and help conservationists, farmers, and ranchers in their conservation decisions.
