Final 2015 Ag Stats to be Gathered
Sunday, November 22nd, 2015 -- 11:47 AM
(Wisconsin Ag Connection) As farmers wrap up the 2015 growing season, the USDA will conduct three major surveys to determine 2015 crop acreage and yields, as well as, hog inventories.These three surveys, the 2015 Row Crops County Agricultural Production Survey, the December Agricultural Survey, and the December Hog Report, will also be used to establish winter wheat and barley seedings, grain stocks, and hog farrowings. County level acreage and yield estimates for corn and soybeans will also be set using the data farmers provide on these surveys.
Most selected farmers will receive a questionnaire in the mail. Those not responding by mail will receive a follow up telephone call or personal visit. The Hogs and Pigs report based on the December Hog survey will be released December 23. The Crop Production, Grain Stocks, and Winter Wheat Seedings reports based on the December Agricultural Survey will be issued on January 12. County level estimates for corn and soybeans will be available in the Quick Stats database on February 18.
