National Ag Classification Survey

The National Agriculture Statistics Service began conducting the National Agricultural Classification Survey (NACS) Jan. 24.

The survey, an important step in determining who should receive a 2027 Census of Agriculture questionnaire, asks approximately 250,000 recipients to report if they conduct agricultural activity.

The NACS ensures that everyone who produces and sells, or normally would sell, $1000 or more of agricultural products in a calendar year are represented in these vital data.

The results of the survey will ensure that every U.S. producer, no matter how large or small their operation, has a voice and is counted in the highly anticipated and influential agricultural census data.
