The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is calling America’s farmers and ranchers to participate in the 2012 Census of Agriculture.
The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducts the ag census every five years to gain an accurate perspective on American agriculture.
Earlier this year, NASS sent out the National Agricultural Classification Survey to help identify all potential agricultural activities in the United States and who should receive the ag census form later this year. Producers who did not fill out the survey can still sign up for the census by visiting www.agcensus.usda.gov and clicking “Be Counted – Make Your Voice Heard.”
