The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service recently released America’s Farms and Ranches at a Glance, based on the latest Agricultural Resource Management Survey data.

It also introduces new sections on farmer’s unpriced inventory and the use of precision agriculture technologies.

NASDA enumerators play a critical role in collecting this data, helping to shape a clearer picture of the U.S. agricultural landscape.

Since 1972, the NASDA-USDA National Agricultural Statistics Survey partnership has employed enumerators nationwide to gather essential agricultural data. Read the full report on USDA’s website.
