Pressure Sealed Envelope - Internet Access Code for ARMS III

Dear Sir/Madam,

OMB No. 0535-0218 Exp. Date 05/31/2023

You should have recently received your 2020 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. Thank you
if you have already responded. If not, there’s still time. You are encouraged to respond online at
agcounts.usda.gov, or by phone or mail. To protect the health and safety of producers, partners, and
employees, NASS has suspended in-person data collection until further notice.
This survey gauges the financial well-being of our farms and the impacts of numerous programs,
including crop insurance, dairy margin protection, and local payments, which are especially important
today. Your response is very important, especially given this challenging time. When agricultural
stakeholders, local and federal decision-makers, and other data users want to know how this pandemic
affected producers and the agricultural industry, they will continue to look to our data for their analyses.
Accurate information is essential to make informed decisions.
Your response is protected by federal law (Title 5 Subtitle A, Public Law 107-347), which keeps your
individual identity and answers confidential. For more information about this survey, visit
nass.usda.gov/go/arms. If you have questions or difficulty completing your survey, please call toll-free 1888-424-7828.
Sincerely,

Hubert Hamer
Administrator, National Agricultural Statistics Service
