Dear Sir/Madam,

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

You should have recently received your 2020 Agricultural Resource Management Phase 1/Integrated
Screening 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 identifies active farm operations that have the commodities of interest that accurately
represent the U.S. farm sector. 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
