USDA to survey county small grains acreage
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will survey producers in 32 states, including Arkansas, for its 2022 Small Grains County Agricultural Production Survey (CAPS).
Participants are encouraged to respond online at agcounts.usda.gov or by mail, according to a news release.
The survey will collect information on total acres planted and harvested, and yield and production of small grains crops down to the county level. CAPS will provide the data needed to estimate acreage and production of selected crops such as barley, oats, and wheat in the United States.
NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents and publishes only aggregate data, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified, as required by federal law.
Survey results will be published on the NASS Quick Stats database (https://quickstats.nass.usda.gov/) at 2 p.m. Dec. 15. Details: NASS Delta Regional Field Office, (800) 327-2970.
