The Census of Agriculture is being conducted now. Completed forms are due by February 4, 2008. The Census of Agriculture is conducted every five years and is a complete count of the nation's farms, ranches, and the people who operate them.
For the first time, producers have the option of completing the Census forms online.
I use the information from the Census all the time to better understand what is happening in Missouri for land use and ownership trends, economics of agriculture, and the characteristics and production practices of farmers and agricultural operations.
The Census is the only source of comprehensive agricultural data for every county in Missouri.
If you have an agricultural activity or operation, you can participate in the Census by signing up on the Census of Agriculture Web pages.
A summary for Missouri from the 2002 Census is available and you can look up summaries for each county in Missouri.
