Sign up for USDA's Census of Agriculture by June 30

Want to stand up and be counted in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Census of Agriculture? You have until June 30 to sign up. You will need to sign up if you didn't participate in the 2017 Ag Census and you don't get other USDA surveys or censuses. Click here to sign up or for more information.

USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service holds the Ag Census every five years to provide as complete a count as possible of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. This year will feature a new web portal meant to make participation easier. Producers who sign up in time can complete the survey securely online in November (NASS will mail out access codes then). In addition, NASS will mail out hard copies of the survey in December.

The survey has been conducted for more than 180 years, and remains the only source of comprehensive and impartial agricultural data for every state and county.
