The last time we shared news about the farmers.gov local dashboard was in April 2024. We’re excited to provide an update on how we’ve enhanced the dashboard since then.
Why We Created the Dashboard
We created the farmers.gov local dashboard to provide farmer-focused resources from USDA and other government agencies in a single place so you can easily access materials you may need as you run your operation. We also transformed some complex commodities and weather data sets into easy-to-read charts and graphs to help you quickly find and analyze information that matters to you.
Farmer and Rancher-Driven Changes
We heard your feedback! The new features and updates to the dashboard are based on the feedback we received from you. We analyzed your suggestions and prioritized improvements based on what you said would be most helpful along with the data we collected about which features were most used.
The farmers.gov User Experience team organized and analyzed all of the feedback we received in the last year so we could focus on adding information producers were most interested in.
