NASS Releases Survey Reports
Published Tuesday, December 01, 2009 at 05:35 AM
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service has released two reports of interest to agriculture. Results of the 2008 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey and the specialty Crops publication for the 2007 Census of Agriculture. The Irrigation Survey provides details on acres and yield of irrigated crops, quantity of water applied, method of water application, irrigation expenditures and other data on farm and ranch irrigation.

Developed in response to requests from several agricultural groups, the new Specialty Crops report provides facts and figures for specialty crop agriculture. Information is available for fruits, vegetables, Christmas trees, maple syrup, and more. Data published in the Specialty Crops publication includes farm numbers and typology, as well as producers’ demographic data.

The irrigation information for these operations will be published separately and will become available February 11, 2010.
