A Word About NASS Reports...

The Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB) publishes reports of State

and U.S. production, stocks, inventories, disposition, utilization,

and prices of agricultural inputs and commodities, and other items

such as labor, farm numbers, and agricultural chemical usage.

National reports are issued from the Washington, D.C.,

Headquarters. Individual State reports are issued from the Field

Offices (FOs) following release of the national reports. Printed

copies of both ASB and FO reports are available for a fee. 

An abundance of agricultural information is available to data users

through our programs. In addition to the information above,

estimates on more specialized commodities, including hop stocks,

mink, cherries, cranberries, lentils, and peppermint oil are also

available. The information is geared toward producers and can

help them plan planting, feeding, breeding, and marketing

programs. The data are also used by agricultural organizations,

services, businesses, trade groups, and financial institutions to

determine demand for inputs, resources, transportation, and

storage-related crop and livestock products. Data are used to

make and carry out agricultural policy concerning farm program

legislation, commodity programs, agricultural research, and rural

development.

Data Security Is Our Top Priority. Names, addresses, and

personal identifiers are never revealed. NASS survey and census

data never leave NASS control.

Only authorized persons working for NASS as employees or

sworn partners, who are subject to fines and imprisonment for

unauthorized disclosure, can access NASS data and only for

approved statistical purposes. NASS does not conduct surveys or

provide data for private, proprietary purposes.

When NASS collects data for others in a NASS-approved

statistical study, farmers and ranchers will always be informed

about the cooperating sponsor and participation will always be

voluntary.

Summary data from all NASS surveys and censuses are available

to everyone, but will never disclose individual reported

information.

E-Mail Subscriptions

E-mail subscriptions to NASS and World Agricultural Outlook

Board (WAOB) periodicals are available free of charge via

e-mail, generally delivered within one hour of publication. Our

electronic mailing list provides quick and timely access to the

agricultural and economic information estimates. Please note that

delivery time may take longer depending on factors, such as

network speed and report size.

NASS Revision Policy 

Most estimates are subject to revision, if necessary, when the next

estimate is prepared. Revisions are made to provide data users

with the best possible data for evaluating the current estimates.

Revisions are based on additional information, such as new

surveys, late reports, corrected data, or more complete

administrative data.

Understanding USDA Crop Forecasts

The publication describes the statistical methodology used by the

National Agricultural Statistics Service to prepare the crop

forecasts to give users of the data a better understanding. This is

followed by a similar description of the world agriculture supply

and demand estimates prepared by the WAOB. This publication

is also available in Spanish, Russian and Chinese. To obtain a

copy of this publication call Customer Service at (800) 727-9540

and ask for Miscellaneous Publication No. 1554.

selected counties within a State, or all counties in one or more

States. The county data includes totals for the Agricultural

Statistics Districts (county groupings) and the State. The

download data files contain planted and harvested area, yield per

acre, and production.

Another method for customers to access crops county data is via

pre-extracted files. The pre-extracted data files, in CommaSeparated Value (CSV) format, are available for the current year,

as well as historical years. These files were extracted from the

Quick Stats and contain total crop and cropping practices for each

county. These files are located from the NASS Homepage by

Census of Agriculture

The Census is conducted every 5 years to obtain agricultural

statistics for each county, State, and the Nation.

The Census is the leading source of statistics about the Nation’s 

agricultural production and the only source of consistent,

comparable data at the county, State, and national levels. The

Census is authorized by law under Title 7, U.S. code, and is

conducted in close cooperation with the Nation’s agricultural user

groups and farmer organizations.

The Census includes all places from which $1,000 or more of

agricultural products, including government payments, were

produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the

census year.

Special Studies and Censuses are conducted as follow-on programs

to the Census. The follow-on programs include an Organic

Production Survey, a Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, an OnFarm Renewable Energy Production Survey, and a Census of

Horticultural Specialties. The Organic Production Survey and OnFarm Renewable Energy Production Survey are both new projects.
