Help Represent the Pork Industry in Ag Census

Help Represent the Pork Industry in Ag Census

All pork producers are asked to participate in the 2022 Census of Agriculture, which is open now through Feb. 6.  

The census is taken every 5 years and is a complete count of U.S. farms, ranches and the people who operate them. 

Any farm that sold or produced $1,000 or more of agricultural products during the census year should participate. 

The data collected for the census will be released as soon as spring 2024, and it will inform decisions about agriculture policy, farm and conservation programs, infrastructure and rural development, research, education, beginning farmer programs and more.

Video: John Deere 500R Sprayer | Next-Generation Booms for Ultimate Precision


Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
