Don't Pass Up Your Opportunity to Participate in End-of-Year NASS Surveys

Tue, 30 Nov 2021 12:22:13 CST

Don't Pass Up Your Opportunity to Participate in End-of-Year NASS Surveys Survey season lasts all year at the National Agricultural Statistics Service at the United States Department of Agriculture, but the end of the year is especially important. Year-end surveys have already been mailed out and Joe Prusacki, director of NASS at USDA, is urging producers to participate.

"(The surveys) are an opportunity for the producer to tell their story," Prusacki said. "There are individuals who argue, 'USDA NASS reports are wrong,' well, the more responses we get the more accurate the estimates will be."

Prusacki said from an economic perspective, information drives markets. Without information, all people are left with is guesswork, he added.

"Markets work with perfect efficiency, given an infinite amount of information," Prusacki said. "When you remove information from that process you make riskier decisions."

That is the whole purpose of NASS, according to Prusacki. He said it can be challenging to explain to farmers how the information they share directly affects them, but it surely indirectly affects them.

Most surveys show up in mailboxes all over America. Farmers can choose to fill out their paper survey and mail it back or use their survey key to fill out their information online. There are also five call centers available to help farmers respond to surveys.
