NASS Gathering Data in June
Sunday, May 24th, 2015 -- 8:31 AM
(Wisconsin Ag Connection) - A sample of Wisconsin farm operators will have an opportunity to provide information during the June Agricultural Survey period.These questionnaires are among the largest and most important data finding efforts conducted by the National Ag Statistics Service's Great Lakes Regional Field Office and serve as a primary source
of agricultural information.
NASS gathers the data online, by mail and/or by phone. USDA representatives will also visit randomly selected tracts of land and interview local operators. State Ag Statistician Greg Bussler says the surveys will provide accurate and reliable data about 2015 planted acreages of major crops, as well as grain stocks, livestock inventory, cash rents, land values and value of sales.
All survey responses are protected by law and remain strictly confidential. Information from individual operations will not be disclosed but will be combined with others to make reliable state, regional and national estimates. Results will be released soon after the survey is complete.
