The USDA mailed survey codes to all known U.S. ag producers with the invitation to respond online to the 2022 Census of Agriculture at agcounts.usda.gov.
The ag census is the nation’s only comprehensive and impartial agriculture data for every state, county, and territory.
By completing the survey, producers across the nation can tell their stories and help generate impactful policies to better serve them and future ag producers.
Farmers of all sizes, urban and rural, that produced and sold $1,000 or more of products, or normally would have in 2022, are included in the Census.
The Census will get mailed in phases, with paper questionnaires following in December.
Producers only have to respond once, either online or by mail.
Responses are due on February 6, 2023.
“The Census of Agriculture is a powerful voice for American agriculture,” says USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack.
“The information is an important influence on future ag policy.”
