October Surveys: The Quarterly Agricultural
Labor Survey begins mid-month; this survey collects
data about hired worker numbers, hours worked and wages paid.
November Surveys: Monthly Agricultural
Yield Surveys begin in May and continue through November.
These yield surveys provide first indications of production
for small grains, cotton and hay. Data collection begins near
the 28th of each month and continues into the first week of
the following month.
December Surveys: Beginning in late November
we will begin asking for information for the December
Quarterly Agricultural Survey for final end-of-year
acreage and production for corn, cotton, and hay. The
Quarterly Hog Report will also begin December 1st
as well as Off-Farm Grain Stocks Survey.
Cash Rents Survey - This new survey fulfills
the Cash Rental Rates data requirement as documented in the
new Farm Bill.
Other surveys planned for this quarter will be gathering
information on Winter Vegetables, Chiles, Pecans,
Grapes, and Apples.
