The National Agricultural
Statistics Service NASS leadership recently concluded a deliberate review of
all programs against mission- and user-based criteria, aimed at finding cost
savings and forward-thinking business efficiencies so that timely,
accurate and useful data remains available in service to agriculture. In 2011,
NASS made several enhancements within its programs and operations to
deliver improved results for the American people, including opening a new national
operations center in St. Louis that will centralize data collection and service to
people who provide and use NASS products and services. These efforts and more
over the last year have allowed NASS leadership the flexibility within its budget
to retain and reinstate several key reports.
The reinstated programs are:
- Annual Reports on Farm Numbers, Land in Farms Reports and Farm Income
- Catfish and Trout Reports (data collection begins Dec. 9; report released Dec. 20)
- Annual Floriculture Report
- January Sheep and Goat Report (data collection begins Dec. 23; report date is Jan. 27)
- July Cattle Report
- Annual Bee and Honey Report (data collection begins Jan. 23; report date is
- March 30)
- Annual Hops Production Report (data collection begins Dec. 9; report date is
- Dec. 21)
- Annual Mink Report
- Fruit and Vegetable in season forecast and estimates
- Rice Stocks June Report
