National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS)

The National Agriculture Statistics Service (NASS) is a part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that collects and analyzes important data related to agriculture. NASS conducts surveys and censuses to provide information on crop production, livestock, agricultural economics, and rural demographics. This data helps farmers, policymakers, and researchers make informed decisions. By providing accurate statistics, NASS plays a vital role in understanding trends and challenges in the agricultural sector, which ultimately supports food security and economic health in the country.
