Over the next several weeks, U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct two major mid-year surveys, the June Agricultural Survey and the June Area Survey.
The agency will contact nearly 4,400 producers across Wisconsin to determine crop acreage and stock levels as of June 1. The results are used by farmers and ranchers, USDA, exporters, researchers, economists, policymakers and others to inform a wide range of decisions.
Producers can respond to the June Agricultural Survey online at agcounts.usda.gov, by phone or mail. They will be asked to provide information on planted and harvested acreage, including acreage for biotech crops and grain stocks.
For the June Area Survey, agency representatives will interview farm and ranch operators in randomly selected segments of land over the phone or in person. Producers will be asked to provide information on crop acreage, grain stocks, livestock inventory, land values and value of sales.
NASS will publish the data in a series of USDA reports, including the annual Acreage and quarterly Grain Stocks reports June 28.
