The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) requests a reinstatement of a discontinued data collection, the Census of Agriculture.

It collects important information on the number and size of farms, land use, production expenses, value of production, land values, and crop and livestock production, as well as key demographic data on farm operators not available from any other source. These data are critical to the agricultural community, including local, state and federal governments, farmer organization, marketing associations, cooperatives, agricultural experiment stations, land-grant. NASS is seeking a three-year reinstatement for its collection and publication of Census of Agriculture data.

The latest form for 2027 Census of Agriculture expires 2029-09-30 and is listed under ICR 202605-0535-002.
