All operations are important, no matter the size. The census of agriculture attempts to identify anyone involved in agriculture. This includes crops, livestock, government payments, and specialty items such as nursery and greenhouses, aquaculture, bees, horses, and specialty livestock or crops. If you still do not qualify as a farm or ranch, please report this on the questionnaire and mail back or report online through the web form. For census of agriculture purposes, a farm is any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the census of agriculture year.

A law (Title 7, U.S. Code, and CIPSEA, Public Law 107-347) guarantees to all respondents that their individual information will remain confidential, that NASS uses the information only for statistical purposes only, and publishes data only in tabulated totals. The report cannot be used for purposes of taxation, investigation, or regulation. The privacy of individual Census records is also protected from disclosure through the Freedom of Information Act.

If you received more than one form, please complete one for each separate operation you conduct. If you have only one operation, please complete one form, write “DUPLICATE” on the other forms and return them all in the same envelope.

Complete the form for the one operation that best matches the label.

If you are responding by mail, note the name and/or address change on the front of the form in the address area. If you are responding online, make the name and/or address change in the appropriate screen, after you login with your 17-digit survey code.
