Invites Sent for 2022 Census of Agriculture
With your Southeast Regional Ag News, I’m Haylie Shipp. This is the Ag Information Network.
Did you get your invitation? The U.S. Department of Agriculture recently mailed survey codes to all known agriculture producers across the 50 states with an invitation to respond online to the 2022 Census of Agriculture at agcounts.usda.gov. If you missed it or prefer paper, the paper questionnaires are also out this month.
The ag census is the nation’s only comprehensive and impartial agriculture data for every state, county, and territory.
You need only respond once, whether securely online or by mail. All responses are due Feb. 6, 2023. Farm operations of all sizes, urban and rural, which produced and sold, or normally would have sold, $1,000 or more of agricultural products in 2022, are included in the ag census.
Changes for 2022 include new questions about precision agriculture, hemp production, hair sheep, and updates to internet access questions.
For the latest news and updates about the Census of Agriculture, visit nass.usda.gov/agcensus and, again, to fill it out yourself, just head to agcounts.usda.gov.
