Beginning in late December, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will spend several months gathering information about farm economics from farmers and ranchers throughout the United States, as the agency conducts the third and final phase of the 2025 Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS).
“The data will help inform decisions on local and federal policies and programs that affect farms and farm families.” said Agricultural Statistics Board Chair Lance Honig.
To obtain the most accurate data, NASS will reach out to nearly 40,000 producers nationwide. The 2025 ARMS survey includes a version of the questionnaire focused on farm costs of production and expenditures for cotton, hogs and broiler producers.
“In February, our interviewers will begin reaching out to those farmers who have not yet responded,” said Honig. “We appreciate their time and are here to help them with the questionnaire so that their information will continue to support sound agricultural decision-making.”
