USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Hosts Census of Agriculture Data Webinar

Apr 24, 2014

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will publish its 2012 Census of Agriculture full report.

Census of Ag partners are invited to join a live press conference of the final data release on May 2 at noon ET. Attendees will learn about the latest census data at the national, state and county levels on a range of topics, including agricultural practices, conservation, demographics and organic production, as well as traditional and specialty crops down to the county level.

According to the National Agricultural Statistics Service, the webinar will be recorded and posted online and in addition will be accompanied by an ongoing twitter feed and more. Check the www.agcensus.usda.gov website for event log-in information next week.

You can also share personal stories explaining how the Census benefits you and the agriculture industry as a whole. The newly relaunched online system, Your Census. Your Story., is an easy way to speak up about the value of Census data.
