UNITED STATES 2022 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

Your report is due February 6, 2023

Who Should Report?

A reply is requested from EVERYONE who receives a report form, including persons who operated a farm, ranch, or other agricultural operation in 2022, anyone who has any agricultural activity, as well as those who were not involved in agriculture. More census information is on the Internet at www.agcensus.usda.gov.

If you do not return your report form, you will continue to receive contacts from us.

If you were a landlord only and rented out all your land, complete the front page, Section 1, and Section 35 on the back page of the enclosed report form and return it in the preaddressed envelope. If you were a landlord but still operated other land yourself, you should complete the entire report form for that land which you operated.

If you had no land, no livestock, and no agricultural operations, return the report form with a note indicating your status on the front of the form below the address label.

Partial Year Operations - If you stopped farming, ranching, or producing agricultural products during 2022, complete the report form for the portion of the year that you did farm. Write “Stopped farming during 2022” and the date you stopped below the address area. Mail the completed report form in the return envelope. If the person whose name is on the label was deceased during 2022, complete the form for the portion of the year that they farmed, and write a note.

Involved In More Than One Operation - If you made decisions for more than one operation, you may have received a report form for each operation. Provide information for each operation on a separate form. To obtain additional report forms, or if you have questions, please call the toll-free help line at 1-888-424-7828.

Partnership Operation - Complete only ONE form for the entire partnership's agricultural operation and include the entire operation on that one form. If you made day-to-day decisions for another operation, complete a report form for each separate operation. We have listed all known partners below the address area to assist in defining the operation. Make any necessary corrections to these names.

If you owned farm or ranch land in 2022 that was idle and NOT rented out, you should complete and return the report form. If all the cropland was enrolled in conservation programs like CRP, complete the form and include these acres.

Specialty Commodities - Horses, bees, elk, emus, fish, nursery, etc., are an important part of the agriculture industry. Report for all commodities, regardless of the amount of production or sales you had in 2022.

Land in Federal conservation programs in 2022 - If you had land in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) and you made the decisions on the acres, include the conservation land on the report form in Sections 1, 2, and 5.

Received More Than One Report Form For the Same Operation - If you received more than one report form for the same operation, complete only ONE form per operation. Write "Duplicate" below the address area of each extra form. Return all forms in the same return envelope with your completed form so that we can correct our records.
