Workforce reductions and hiring restrictions at USDA's Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service are leaving local offices understaffed, reducing services and stretching remaining employees thin.

"Kansas Landowner Survey on Prescribed Burning in Agricultural Landscapes

Kansas State University researchers are conducting a survey of landowners and land managers across Kansas to examine how different components of uncertainty, such as county regulations, community expectations, and environmental conditions, shape decisions on prescribed fire use and practices. The survey is open to agricultural landowners and managers in Kansas who currently use prescribed burning, have used it in the past, or are interested in or affected by prescribed fire policies. The responses will help improve understanding of how landowners navigate fire-related decisions and may inform future discussions on prescribed fire policies in Kansas and other grassland areas.


The survey takes approximately 10–15 minutes to complete and participation is voluntary and confidential.
