Mission Statement: All 46 field offices are operated under
cooperative funding arrangements with State Departments of Agriculture
and/or land-grant universities. Statistics are based on data collected
from growers and agri-businesses through annual, quarterly, monthly,
and weekly surveys and the Census of Agriculture every 5 years.
We exist so that everyone knows the most
recent counts about agriculture; NOT only those that can afford to pay
for it. Privately funded surveys are not always made public and
growers or their associations are at a disadvantage when information
is only in the hands of the buyer.
Economic and political decisions will
always be made that affect agriculture. Official statistics allow
these decisions to be made with facts instead of speculation. Grower
associations use NASS data to plead your case concerning legislation
or regulations that affect you.
"Thank you" for your help with our
surveys. Federal law protects your confidentiality! |
