Census of Agriculture

The Census of Agriculture is a detailed count and survey conducted every five years in the United States that collects data about farms, farmers, and agricultural practices. It gathers information on the number and type of farms, the crops and livestock produced, land usage, and farming income. This data helps policymakers, researchers, and farmers understand trends in agriculture, make informed decisions, and allocate resources effectively. The census serves as a vital tool for promoting the agriculture sector and ensuring food security in the country.
