In preparation for the 2027 Census of Agriculture, USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) began conducting the National Agricultural Classification Survey (NSCS) on Jan. 24.

The survey, an important step in determining who should receive a 2027 Census of Agriculture questionnaire, will go to approximately 250,000 recipients to ask if they conduct agricultural activity. 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 influential agricultural census data. 

If a producer did not receive the 2022 Census of Agriculture or the NACS, NASS encourages them to sign up to be counted at  www.agcounts.usda.gov/getcounted. All information reported by individuals will be kept confidential, as required by federal law.
