Dear Sir/Madam,

You should have recently received your 2022 Agricultural Resource Management Survey from USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Thank you, if you have already responded.

The survey will ask questions about farm production practices. Please have your fertilizer and pesticide spray records available to speed up the survey process. You may also receive an email reminder if you opted for email service.
