WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD NEWS) — Farmers will soon be asked to help shape some of USDA’s most closely watched crop and inventory reports. USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service says it will contact more than 90,000 producers for the June Agricultural Survey.
The survey measures planted and harvested acreage, biotech crop acreage, and grain stocks as of June 1. Producers can respond online at agcounts.usda.gov, by phone, or by mail.
The information feeds directly into the USDA’s June 30 Acreage and Grain Stocks reports. Those numbers can affect market expectations for corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and other major crops.
NASS says survey responses also support Crop Production reports, Small Grains Summary, land values, livestock reports, and the monthly World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.
USDA says producer participation helps keep federal ag reporting accurate, transparent, and grounded in real farm data rather than speculation.
Farm-Level Takeaway: Producer survey responses help shape USDA reports that influence markets, planning decisions, and price expectations.
