The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years and "is the only source of consistent and comprehensive agricultural data for every state and county in the nation."
A news release from the United States Department of Agriculture indicates that over two million forms have already been received and they are still accepting responses.
This current effort is the first Census of Agriculture where producers and farmers could respond using an online form.
Data collection for the current effort, the 2007 Census, began December 28th, 2007. Results are expected to be available beginning in February 2009.
I use this information frequently, to understand the economic impacts of both farm production and conservation activities in Missouri.
Previous information from the 2002 Census of Agriculture is available in a wide variety of reports and formats.
