The Census of Agriculture is a comprehensive survey conducted every five years in the United States. It collects detailed information about the nation's farms, farmers, and agricultural production. This data helps to understand trends in farming practices, crop production, and livestock management. The census is essential for policymakers, researchers, and agricultural businesses, as it provides valuable insights into the economic health of the agricultural sector. The information gathered can influence decisions on funding, resource allocation, and agricultural policies that support farmers and rural communities.
