MAEAP Participation Survey

Thank you for your interest in providing feedback on the proposed changes to the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP). We’d like to know how the proposal to absorb the MAEAP program into the MI Department of Agriculture & Rural Development (MDARD) might affect your willingness to participate in the MAEAP program in the future. 

Your privacy is important to us. This survey is confidential, and your answers will not be associated with your identity. 

This survey is voluntary. You may decline to answer any question. It should take about 5 minutes to fill out this survey. 

Thank you for helping us. Your responses will help us advocate for producer interests. 

If you have questions about the survey, please contact Rivka Hodgkinson at 616-279-7662 or rivka.hodgkinson@macd.org.
