What is the Census of Agriculture?

The census of agriculture is a complete accounting of United States agricultural production.

The census is the only source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data for every county in the Nation.

The census includes as a farm every place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold or normally would have been sold during the census year.

The census of agriculture is taken every five years covering the years ending in "2"; and "7."
