Even small plots of land - whether rural or urban - growing fruit, vegetables or some food animals count if $1,000 or more of such products were raised and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the Census year. The Census of Agriculture, taken only once every five years, looks at land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income and expenditures. For America's farmers and ranchers, the Census of Agriculture is their voice, their future, and their opportunity."> <link rel="alternate" title="NASS Today's Reports" href="http://www.nass.usda.gov/rss/reports.xml" type="application/rss+xml"> <link rel="alternate" title="NASS News and Events" href="http://www.nass.usda.gov/rss/news.xml" type="application/rss+xml">  <link href="/newCSS/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="/newCSS/census.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> <link href="/newCSS/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/> <link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico"> <script src="/newJS/breadcrumbs.js" ></script> <script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'></script>   <script> // ForeSee Production Embed Script v2.01 // DO NOT MODIFY BELOW THIS LINE ***************************************** ; ( function ( g ) { var d = document, am = d.createElement( 'script' ), h = d.head || d.getElementsByTagName( "head" )[ 0 ], fsr = 'fsReady', aex = { "src": "//gateway.foresee.com/sites/usda-nass/production/gateway.min.js", "type": "text/javascript", "async": "true", "data-vendor": "fs", "data-role": "gateway" }; for ( var attr in aex ) { am.setAttribute( attr, aex[ attr ] ); } h.appendChild( am ); g[ fsr ] || ( g[ fsr ] = function () { var aT = '__' + fsr + '_stk__'; g[ aT ] = g[ aT ] || []; g[ aT ].push( arguments ); } ); } )( window ); // DO NOT MODIFY ABOVE THIS LINE ***************************************** </script> </head> <body>  <script> ( function ( w, d, s, l, i ) { w[ l ] = w[ l ] || []; w[ l ].push( { 'gtm.start': new Date().getTime(), event: 'gtm.js' } ); var f = d.getElementsByTagName( s )[ 0 ], j = d.createElement( s ), dl = l != 'dataLayer' ?

Even small plots of land - whether rural or urban - count if $1,000 or more of such products were raised and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the census year. The Census of Agriculture, taken only once every five years, looks at land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income and expenditures. For America’s farmers and ranchers, the Census of Agriculture is their voice, their future, and their opportunity. <a href="/AgCensus/FAQ/2022/index.php">Read more frequently asked questions</a>.</p> <p>Data from the <a href="/Publications/AgCensus/2022/index.php">2022 Census of Agriculture</a> is now available.
