[Sc-aquaponics] Fw: Respond to the National Agricultural Classification Survey!

[Smith, Matthew A.]

All,

Another great update from the NAA! The next Census of Ag and the following Census of Aquaculture will be here before you know it. It's vital to be included. We saw significant changes by some states in the Midwest. Most of which went in the wrong direction.

DYK at the 2022 North Central Aquaculture Conference in Eau Claire, WI there will be a presentation by a USDA National Ag Statistics Service (NASS) representative to discuss the importance of the Census and how your data is kept confidential? We hope to see you there.

Regards,

Matt

Respond to the National Agricultural
Classification Survey!
The final phase of the multi-year National Agricultural Classification Survey (NACS)<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://thenaa.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2fd6b049df111d21175a95a39&id=7ba5b84d02&e=7abee8fe9e__;!!KGKeukY!gjuaTHsk5mDlDVrYG2V8SBzvXL_QC4v8nIHiyFx00T7c1raZcy2C8tFv1YJBj-F2JxhzSw$> is around the corner! The NACS is a nationwide ag census mail list building effort to identify all agricultural operations across the United States and ensure every producer has a voice in the upcoming census.

Survey codes mail out to a million potential producers on Dec. 13. The NACS is required by federal law to be completed by everyone who receives a form, even if not involved in agriculture. NASS will update records accordingly. The deadline for response is Jan. 24, 2022. The online questionnaire<agcounts.usda.gov> is fast and secure. Want to know USDA’s definition of a farm?
