Electronic
Sources of Information
The Economic
Research Service (ERS) of the
USDA provides statistical
information related to
agricultural operations within
the United States. Much of this
information is obtained from
surveys of farmers throughout
the United States. This research
is then reduced to the averages
shown in tables.
Another branch
of the USDA is the National
Agricultural Statistical Service
(NASS). The information provided
through NASS is based on factual
information accumulated through
the agricultural marketing
operations within each state and
reported at the state or
national level. Comparative data
for the current year-to-date and
one prior year are generally
published.
Historical and
current data can be obtained on
commodities, hogs, cattle,
chickens, etc.
