If you are a farmer and haven’t responded to the latest Census of Agriculture, now’s the time.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service ends all data collection today. Anyone who received the questionnaire is required by law to respond; you can do that by calling 1-888-424-7828, or by completing the form online at www.agcensus.usda.gov. The agriculture census is conducted once every five years and is the only comprehensive source of agricultural data for every state and county in the U.S. The data gathered will influence lawmakers’ decisions about farm policy, disaster relief, insurance and loan programs, infrastructure improvements and agribusiness.

Data from the Census of Agriculture is scheduled to be released in February 2019.
