The National Agricultural Statistics Service is going to be carrying out the June Agricultural Survey.
The agency will contact 92,000 producers across the nation to determine crop acreage and stock levels as of June first.
“The June Agricultural Survey is one of the most important and well-known surveys that NASS conducts,” says Joseph Parsons, USDA NASS Administrator.
He goes on to say “It’s important to remind producers that NASS safeguards the privacy of respondents by keeping all individual information confidential and publishing the data in aggregate form only to ensure that no operation or producer can be identified.”
He also points out that producer responses provide essential information used by farmers and ranchers, USDA, exporters, researchers, economists, policymakers, and others to inform a wide range of decisions.
Producers can respond to the survey at agcounts.usda.gov, by phone, or by mail.
NASS will publish the data in a series of USDA reports on June 30th.
