Census Forms Still Being Accepted; Deadline Extended

The deadline to turn in the 2012 Agricultural Census has been extended to March 15 to ensure that all farms are counted. To date, more than 1.4 million forms have been submitted to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. An additional form will be sent to producers who missed the original deadline. Forms can be returned by mail or online by visiting www.agcensus.usda.gov. Federal law requires all agricultural producers to participate in the census and requires USDA to keep all personal information confidential. Learn more.
