SOMETHING ABOUT NASS
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) serves as the “fact finders for agriculture” for the agricultural producers, farm organizations, policymakers, community groups, researchers, government agencies, agribusinesses, and a host of related industries needing consistent, reliable data on U.S. agriculture. 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.
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 cross-section of a specific group (corn growers, feedlot managers, dairy producers, etc.). Depending upon the particular 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.
For current survey reports visit www.nass.usda.gov.
Census of Agriculture
Every five years, NASS conducts the Census of Agriculture. Similar to the population census that attempts to count and collect data on every man, woman, and child in the United States, the Census of Agriculture takes a complete count of farms, ranches, and agricultural production in the entire country. Participation by every farmer and rancher, regardless of the size or type of operation, is vitally important. Census data are the only source of uniform agricultural statistics for each county in the United States.
