(NAFB.com) – Beginning later this month, the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service will spend several months gathering information about farm economics from farmers and ranchers throughout the U.S. The agency will be conducting its third and final phase of the 2025 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. “This data will help inform decisions on local and federal policies and programs that affect farms and farm families,” said Agricultural Statistics Board Chair Lance Honig. The 2025 survey includes a version of the questionnaire that focuses on farm costs of production and expenditures for cotton, hogs, and broiler producers. “In February, our interviewers will begin reaching out to those farmers who have not yet responded,” Honig said. “We appreciate their time and are here to help them with the questionnaire so that their information will continue to support sound agricultural decision making.” Information provided to NASS is kept confidential, as required by federal law.
