National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Title: Field Crops Production. 

OMB Control Number: 0535–0002. 

Summary of Collection: One of the 

National Agricultural Statistics Services’ 

(NASS) primary functions is to prepare 

and issue current state and national 

estimates of crop and livestock 

production. The general authority for 

collecting these NASS collects 

information on field crops to monitor 

agricultural developments across the 

country that may impact on the nation’s 

food supply. To help set these estimates, 

field crops production data is collected. 

NASS will collect information through 

the use of mail, telephone, and 

personnel interviews surveys. 

Need and Use of the Information: 

NASS collects information on field 

crops to monitor agricultural 

developments across the country that 

may impact on the nation’s food supply. 

The Secretary of Agriculture uses 

estimates of crop production to 

administer farm program legislation and 

to make decisions relative to the exportimport programs. Collecting this 

information less frequently would 

eliminate the data needed to keep the 

Department abreast of changes at the 

State and national level. 

Description of Respondents: Farms; 

Business or other for-profits. 

Number of Respondents: 350,075. 

Frequency of Responses: Reporting:
