Fact Finders for 

Agriculture

Our Mission...

to provide timely, accurate, and useful statistics 

in service to U.S. agriculture.

Agricultural producers, farm organizations, 

policymakers, community groups, researchers, 

government agencies, agribusinesses, and a host of 

related industries all need consistent, reliable data on 

U.S. agriculture. The National Agricultural Statistics 

Service (NASS) conducts hundreds of surveys each year 

and prepares reports on virtually every aspect of U.S. 

agriculture. Every five years NASS also conducts a 

detailed census of every farm and agricultural producer 

in the country.

Data Collection and Reporting

As the statistical agency for the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA), NASS is the official source of 

comprehensive, current information on the farms, 

ranches, and people who provide food, feed, and fiber to 

our nation and the world. NASS collects data and reports 

on agricultural production and inventories, the prices 

farmers pay and receive, farm labor and wages, farm 

income and finances, kinds and amounts of chemicals 

used, and rural development, among many other topics.

NASS Counts...

the farms and people who feed our nation and 

the world. 

Surveys, Estimates, and Forecasts

Every year, NASS conducts hundreds of surveys using a 

statistically valid sample of the target population. In 

these surveys, NASS collects information from a crosssection of a specific group (corn growers, feedlot 

managers, dairy producers, etc.). Depending upon the 

crop, livestock, or topic of concern, surveys vary in size 

(from a few hundred to tens of thousands), frequency 

(weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually), and coverage 

(the number of states involved). 

After the data are collected, statisticians analyze the 

information to prepare estimates and forecasts. At 

NASS, an estimate is a determination of size or value 

and refers to what has already occurred, such as last 

year’s wheat harvest or cattle inventory. A forecast is an 

approximation of what may occur by the end of the 

season, such as average corn yield or total production for 

the current harvest year.
 

7

NASS Data Serve...

farmers, ranchers, and others concerned about 

agriculture.

Farmers, ranchers, policymakers, community planners, 

agribusinesses, researchers, USDA, and other federal and 

state government agencies use NASS data for planning, 

market assessment, decision making, and ongoing 

research.

High-quality statistical information is essential to those 

involved in agriculture. But it is equally essential to 

directly and indirectly related industries, services, 

programs, and economic sectors. Good data provide an 

understanding of current conditions as well as future 

trends and possibilities. In addition to creating an accurate, 

up-to-date picture of U.S. agriculture, the information 

NASS provides contributes to a stable economic climate 

and reduces risk. By being equally available to all users, 

NASS data help to level the playing field.

NASS Protects... 

your privacy and your data.

A number is only as good as the reputation of the 

organization that stands behind it. NASS realizes the 

importance of providing timely and reliable data, 

remaining free from political influence, and refraining 

from policy advocacy. We are committed to preserving a 

relationship of mutual respect and trust with those who 

supply and those who use the information we collect and

provide. We go to great lengths to ensure the data remain 

both confidential and secure.

Confidentiality

NASS is required by law to keep every survey 

respondent’s information confidential. This includes 

names, addresses, personal identifiers, and reported data. 

Only authorized persons working for or on behalf of 

NASS can access individual data records and only for 

approved official purposes. Anyone who discloses the 

information is subject to a fine, a jail term, or both. 

Security

Another top priority at NASS is data security during data 

collection and report preparation. NASS prepares reports 

under tight security until they are publicly released at 

preannounced dates and times. Market-sensitive reports in 

particular are protected through 

an elaborate set of physical and 

electronic security measures—

called Lockup—to ensure no one 

has access to the information 

before anyone else. Not even the 

Secretary of Agriculture knows a 

report’s contents until he enters 

the Lockup area to sign the report 

just prior to release.

NASS conducts hundreds of 

surveys each year and prepares

reports on virtually every aspect 

of U.S. agriculture.

NASS Data Online

The NASS website (www.nass.usda.gov) provides easy access 

to a wide range of information and data products. Through the 

homepage, you can obtain copies of all reports described in this 

catalog, find commodity and price specialists and more.

A calendar of scheduled releases is available from the NASS 

Homepage. In the “Publications” dropdown menu, select “by 

Date (Reports Calendar)” under the “Browse NASS Reports” 

section. Then choose the year and month.

Ask a Specialist

NASS maintains a listing of subject and commodity specialists 

for the various program areas. From the NASS Homepage, on 

the “Contact Us” dropdown menu, select “Ask a Specialist” at 

the bottom left column.

Customer Service

NASS operates an information center, staffed from 7:30 a.m. to 

4:00 p.m. ET Monday-Friday, to assist you with accessing 

reports and data via the Internet, or printed copies. Please call 

(800) 727-9540.

Quick Stats - Agricultural Statistics Online Database

NASS data is also found in the online Quick Stats database free 

of charge. At the beginning of 2020, the Quick Stats database 

contained around 45 million rows. Most data are available at or 

soon after release time. It can be accessed at 

quickstats.nass.usda.gov or from the NASS homepage under the 

“Data and Statistics” dropdown menu. The web application 

allows custom queries based on survey or census program, 

commodities and characteristics, geographic levels, and time 

periods. The “Spreadsheet” option downloads a csv file. 

For power users, there are two additional methods to retrieve 

either large amounts of data or recurring data pulls. One is an 

API (Application Programming Interface) and the other is large

text files containing segments of Quick Stats data refreshed 

nightly. See the “Developers” and “Help” tabs at 

quickstats.nass.usda.gov for more information.

Economics, Statistics and Market Information System 

(ESMIS)

Through a cooperative project with Cornell University, the 

Albert R. Mann Library distributes NASS, Agricultural 

Marketing Service (AMS), Economic Research Service (ERS) 

Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS), and World Agricultural 

Outlook Board (WAOB) periodicals and data files free of 

charge via the USDA Economics, Statistics and Market 

Information System at usda.library.cornell.edu. Reports are 

available electronically within minutes of release.

Subscribe to E-mail

Mann Library provides a free e-mail service for NASS reports. 

When a current report is released, a link to the report is sent via 

e-mail to the list of subscribers for that report. There are two 

options to subscribe to the National Reports; from the NASS 

Homepage at www.nass.usda.gov, select “National” located on 

the top right of the page under the social media icons, or in the

“Publications” dropdown menu select “National Reports”

under the section “Receive Reports by E-mail” in the right 

column. Follow the instructions on the next page to sign up and 

manage your subscriptions. There is no charge for e-mail 

subscriptions. You may “unsubscribe” at any time. For 

assistance with e-mail delivery, please call (607) 255-5406 or 

e-mail usda-help@cornell.edu.

Rich Site Summary (RSS) Alerts

RSS feeds are free content feeds from Web sites that contain 

article headlines, summaries and links back to full-text articles 

on the web. RSS uses XML technology to syndicate web 

content, sending it directly to your desktop, your web browser 

or a web-based RSS reader. Instead of visiting a specific Web 

site to search for new articles and features, RSS is a convenient 

way to alert you when content of interest appears on your 

favorite Web sites.

Currently NASS offers national feeds for its News and Coming 

Events, Today's Reports and Census of Agriculture. For more 

information visit: www.nass.usda.gov/Newsroom/Syndication.

Modernized Data Dissemination 

NASS is actively working to update our current online Quick 

Stats database. Quick Stats provides access to a large set of 

NASS data but access is not intuitive to the data user, instead 

reflecting to some degree how the data is organized internally to 

NASS. As NASS continues to evolve and optimize the data 

products and services, new content and functionality will be 

added. New topic-based category landing pages, data release 

detail pages, simplified API endpoints, interactive 

documentation and organized data structure provide context and 

flexibility previously unavailable in digital form.

The 5W’s of NASS Data 

NASS gathers facts and figures about the farms and people who 

feed our nation and the world. This experimental data tool uses 

data from the NASS Census of Agriculture and Agricultural 

Resource Management Survey to show how NASS information 

is published in academic and agriculture journals, and in turn, 

used by researchers, state and local farm organizations, and 

policymakers nationwide.
