The statistical data provided in NASS studies and reports is necessary to maintain an objective source to ensure commodity markets operate fairly and efficiently. Every 5 years the Census of Agriculture provides comprehensive national, State, and county data as well as selected data for Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Northern Mariana Islands.
