This is the fifth year Farm Journal is conducting research to specifically ask how farmers are buying the necessary inputs for their farm. 

You are invited to participate. 
Share your purchasing habits by taking this survey. 

This is the only study in the industry of its kind as it focuses on fertilizer, seed and crop protection. In recent years, the study also included biologicals and adjuvants. 

To date, the percent of farmers who buy any portion of their farm inputs online has grown until last year when it dipped by one percentage point. 

Particularly in light of supply chain dynamics, new technologies on the market, and rising overall input costs, we look forward to reporting this year’s findings. 

The first 500 respondents will be entered in a random drawing for 5 $100 Amazon gift cards.
