Kansas farm operations of all sizes; urban and rural are required by law to respond to a questionnaire. The Census of Agriculture questionnaire was mailed by the National Agriculture Statistics Service last month to all known ag producers across the nation. The deadline to respond is February 6th, 2023.
The NASS Statistician for Kansas, Doug Bounds says producers, policy-makers, and business leaders all use Census data to make informed decisions that will shape the future of agriculture.
Ag producers that sold, or normally would have sold, $1000 or more of ag products in 2022 are required to respond. All information given must be kept confidential by NASS and the data is only used for statistical purposes, and only may be published in aggregate form, thus preventing the disclosure of the identity of any individual producer or farm operation.
