To ensure the every-five-year Census of Agriculture accounts for all agriculture and every producer in the United States, USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducts the National Agricultural Classification Survey (NACS). The survey is a nationwide effort to identify potential farms so they can be included in the Census of Agriculture.
Nearly 633,000 potential agricultural producers are receiving the NACS this spring. NASS asks everyone who receives the survey to respond by May 3. Every response matters. Even if the recipient believes the survey does not apply to them, they should respond online at www.agcounts.usda.gov to at least the initial screening questions. Completed questionnaires may also be mailed back in the prepaid envelope provided.
