Enumerators are professionals that are the backbone of the NASS agency. It all starts with you. This resource was developed because we appreciate you and support you in being prepared for successful interviewing. The majority of the farmers and agribusinesses cooperate, provide good data, and generally understand the connection of reporting and data uses. While the lessons under Education Materials are designed to help new enumerators get off to a good start, those that have experience may find that reviewing the lessons are helpful.
