The Pennsylvania State University’s Ag Progress Days, held Aug. 13-15, is Pennsylvania’s largest outdoor agricultural expo, featuring over 400 exhibitors from the U.S. and Canada. Hosted by Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences, the event showcases educational programs, research and the latest agricultural technology.
NASS participated with a booth to showcase how its data supports farmers, businesses, rural communities and consumers, emphasizing the important role NASS surveys play in shaping agricultural policies and industry decisions.
NASDA enumerators Bob Gotwols, Linda Miller and Fred Schmidt joined the NASS team to educate attendees about their work in collecting survey data. Established in 1972, the NASDA-NASS partnership employs around 40 enumerators in Pennsylvania to ensure accurate data for the agricultural sector.
Ag Progress Days provided a key opportunity to highlight the important contributions of NASDA enumerators and our long-standing NASDA-NASS partnership, which continues to benefit the agricultural community.
