2017 Census of Agriculture

Key Dates for 2022 Census of Agriculture:

  • June 30, 2022 – sign up ends
  • November 2022 – census mails out
  • February 2023 – response deadline
  • Spring/summer 2024 – data release

The Census of Agriculture is a complete count of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. Even small plots of land - whether rural or urban - growing fruit, vegetables or some food animals count if $1,000 or more of such products were raised and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the Census year. This can include hobby farms with livestock, such as chickens or horses, or crops growing in the backyard or on a rooftop. The Census of Agriculture, taken only once every five years, looks at land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, income and expenditures.

The data informs policy and program decisions that directly impact producers, their operations, industries, and communities. A complete count, with every producer getting and taking the opportunity to be represented in this data, is vital. For America’s farmers and ranchers, the Census of Agriculture is their voice, their future, and their opportunity.

On the NASS Ag Census webpage, producers can also access frequently asked questions, explore past and current Ag Census data, access tools to help spread the word about the upcoming Ag Census, learn about Ag Census special studies, and more.

Video: NEW Case IH x MacDon FD2 Plus Draper Header Complete Overview


Case IH introduces the new MacDon FD2 Plus Draper Header—a next-generation platform engineered for productivity, precision, and performance across varying field conditions.

The FD2 Plus Series is available in multiple widths—30 ft, 35 ft, 40 ft, 45 ft, 50 ft, and 61 ft—ensuring a perfect match for every Case IH combine, says Ryan Lepp, harvest product marketing manager.

It's designed to handle today’s high-yielding crops, delivering a smoother feeding, cleaner cuts, and superior ground following.

Key features:
>> A 50-inch Draper belt increases crop flow into the feeder house for steady, efficient harvesting.
>> The flexible cutter bar, essential for soybeans and uneven terrain, hugs the ground to capture low pods and reduce grain loss.
>> The optimized reel positioning keeps the reel close to the cutter bar for cleaner feeding and reduced shatter.
>> The FD2 Plus header pairs seamlessly with Case IH AF9, AF10, AF11, and 260 Series combines.
