Inside the May 2019 Edition

Every five years the USDA conducts a census of agriculture to provide a snapshot of activity and trends in the industry. While the census attempts to get every producer to participate, the response rate for the 2017 Census of Agriculture was 71.8 percent. Early results are being reported with much more information to come in future months. The 2017 Census shows an overall decline in farmland and the number of farms, provides information about the demographics of producers, documents crop and commodity trends, and evaluates participation in conservation programs.
