Crop Production Practices
Phase II of the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) is USDA’s primary source of information about the current status and trends in crop production practices for major crops (corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton). This survey also obtains data on U.S. farmers' agricultural resource use, as well as data to assess potential environmental impacts associated with crop production practices. Crop production practice data also supplement ERS’s Commodity Cost and Returns and Farm Financial Management data. The ARMS survey yields annual data summaries for field-level data by crop, Including: Irrigation technology and water use Nutrient use and nutrient management practices Crop residue management practices Pest management practices and pesticide use Crop seed variety Data summaries are available for production years 1996-2000 (1996-98 and 2000 for wheat)
