USDA to survey soybean/wheat growers
SPRINGFIELD – In October, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will begin contacting soybean and wheat growers to learn about their production practices during the 2012 growing season. NASS and USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) jointly conduct the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS), which gathers data on farmers’ chemical use and pest management and irrigation practices for these two crops.
