Survey_COVID 19 effects on farming activities in Arizona and how farmers are adjusting

[Mpanga, Isaac - (mpangai)]

Dear colleagues,
As part of assessing the impact of COVID-19 impact on agriculture operations in the state, we came up with this survey, which has been approved by the IRB. Please share with your stakeholders/farmers and other collaborators working with farmers. Share the message and the link below with the attached consent form.


The unprecedented outbreak of the novel COVID-19 virus has impacted most activities in the world with far-reaching and devastating effects.  Most of the world's economies have stalled, including the United States (US), which now leads, with the largest number of cases.  The economic effects on the US economy could disproportionately impact hardworking farmers and workers who ensure the nation is supplied with food, fiber, and shelter, especially in states dominated by agriculture activities. This survey is to help understand the effect of COVID-19 on Arizona's agricultural operations, adjustments made and/or required. Your responses will help influence policy and possible ways to minimize negative impacts going forward.
Please, read the attached consent form and completing the survey. No physical signature is required if you volunteer to take the survey. The survey is only for farmers in Arizona who are 18 years and above.
Let your voice count by taking this survey.

Follow the link below to complete the 10minutes survey.
