In prior years, the agricultural census was conducted by the Bureau of the Census. The Census of Agriculture provides periodic and comprehensive statistics about agricultural operations, production, operators and land use every five years for years ending in 2 and 7. The census provides the only source of consistent, county-level statistics on agricultural operations throughout the United States.
Historical data is available.
