USDA wants your input regarding your operation!

There is a lot of emphasis on the Census of Ag survey in recent months, but USDA says there are some other surveys that are just as important.

The Ag Resource Management survey gets even more detailed than the Census of Ag. Statisticians want to know what your expenses are, what your income range is, and other things to gauge farming financial health. USDA is also currently working on the second hemp production survey.

They also want to know about your planted acreage, harvested acreage, and value. USDA says the surveys provide valuable information to policymakers, which is especially important in a Farm Bill year.
