Abstract: In November/December of 2016, a survey collaboratively designed by the USDA Climate Hubs, FSA, and the University of Vermont was administered to capture FSA field staffs' beliefs and attitudes related to climate change and potential impacts, as well as their perceptions about the risk that weather variability poses for U.S. farmers. The USDA Climate Hubs, NRCS, and the University of Vermont collaboratively designed a survey, administered in February/March 2017, to capture NRCS field staff views and understanding related to climate change, weather variability, and potential impacts on agriculture. The survey also addressed NRCS employees' perceptions about the risk weather variability poses for U. S. farmers.
