Title: The National Agricultural Statistics Service County Estimates Program
Abstract: The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) publishes over 300 reports annually regarding the Nation’s crop acreage, crop production, livestock inventory, commodity prices, and farm expenses. The primary source of this information is surveys of U.S. farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses who voluntarily provide information on a confidential basis. These surveys are normally designed to provide State and U.S. level indications of agricultural commodities. There is also a need for county level estimates to assist fanners, ranchers, agribusinesses, and government agencies in local agricultural decision making.
