Ag Census State & County Profiles Available Now

The U.S. Department of Agriculture released new 2012 Census of Agriculture profiles for all 50 states, Puerto Rico and more than 3,000 counties across the United States. The census — conducted every five years — is the only time the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service gathers and releases data down to the county level. Information on the number of farms, market value of products sold, government payments and value of sales by commodity are some of the data available. The state and county profiles are the first in a series of products USDA will publish throughout the year to highlight more than 6 million data points from the agricultural census.
