USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is still collecting data for upcoming reports, but is asking producers to complete their surveys online.
In-person data collection has been suspended until at least April 3, due to COVID-19 concerns.
“We are making every effort to produce the U.S. crop, livestock, and economic statistics that the nation counts on,” said NASS Administrator Hubert Hamer.
“But to do that responsibly, we are following guidance to slow the spread of coronavirus and to protect the health and safety of producers and employees.
It is now more important than ever for everyone who receives a survey to complete it promptly online and encourage others to do the same.”
To respond online at agcounts.usda.gov, producers will need their unique 17-digit survey code from the questionnaire or letter received in the mail, according to USDA.
