You have certainly seen the USDA?s Census of Agriculture waiting for you to fill out and return. You have likely heard ag media, ourselves included, reminding you to get this information filled out and sent back. The deadline is now less than a week away. Your responses must be in by Monday, February 6th.
If you are wanting to get your census sent back but cannot remember where you placed it, there are multiple options available online. The goal is just to get it sent back. Tony Dorn is the chief of the Environmental, Economics, and Demographics Branch at the National Agricultural Statistics Service.
I am sure there are some of you who think there is no point in filling out this information, or that they don?t want to give the government any more information than they are required to. Well, Dorn tells us why it is important to get this information back into USDA.
This allows farmers to help shape the future of ag policy for the next five years.
Dorn assures farmers that their data is kept safe from prying eyes.
You can find more information or fill out your census on nass.usda.gov.
