The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) collects and disseminates a vast array of data on every facet of U.S. Agriculture, including production, economics, demographics, and the environment. The agency conducts hundreds of surveys each year and, through the Agricultural Statistics Board, issues nearly 500 national reports annually. NASS also conducts the Census of Agriculture every 5 years, providing the only source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data for every county in the nation.
