Census of Agriculture Facts
• Taken every five years, it’s a complete count of U.S. farms, ranches, and the people who operate them.
• The only source of uniform, comprehensive and impartial agriculture data for every county and state in the nation.
• A farm is defined as any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the census year.
Why Respond?
• Combined responses show the value and importance of U.S. agriculture.
• Census data inform decisions about policy, farm and conservation programs, infrastructure and rural development, research, education, beginning farmer programs, and more.
• Response is required by federal law. The same law requires USDA to keep all personal information confidential.
• The Census of Agriculture is your opportunity to have a voice in the future of U.S. agriculture.
