2022 Census of Agriculture Survey deadline nears

 

February 2, 2023



USDA recently mailed its 2022 Census of Agriculture to all known agriculture producers across the nation and Puerto Rico. Producers have the option to respond securely and conveniently online at agcounts.usda.gov or by mail.

The deadline for a response is Monday.

The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years by USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS); it is not a Farm Service Agency-conducted survey. However, the Census of Agriculture is important as it tells the story and shows the value of U.S. agriculture. The data inform decisions about business, programs, rural development, research and more. These are things that directly impact producers, and better data can lead to better decisions. That is why it is so important for every producer’s voice to be counted.

Responding to the Census of Agriculture is required by law under Title 7 USC 2204(g) Public Law 105-113. The same law requires NASS to keep personally-identifiable information confidential, to use the data only for statistical purposes, and only publish in aggregate form to prevent disclosing the identity of any individual producer or farm operation. NASS will release the results of the ag census in 2024.

For questions about the 2022 Census of Agriculture, you may: Visit nass.usda.gov/AgCensus or call toll-free to 800-727-9540.
