Census Information Still Sought
Published Tuesday, May 13, 2008 at 04:48 AM
Conducted every five years, the Census of Agriculture is the only source of consistent and comprehensive agricultural data for every state and county in the nation. That information is used by town planners, policy makers, agribusinesses and others to make important growth-generating decisions that will shape rural communities for future generations.
USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service’s 46 field offices are now beginning to call and visit producers who have not responded. The Secretary says - it's your voice, your future and your responsibility. Whether or not actively engaged in agricultural activity, everyone who received a Census of Agriculture form is required by law to respond. For more information, or for assistance with completing the 2007 Census of Agriculture, call toll-free (888) 424-7828 or visit www.agcensus.usda.gov.
