USDA NASS to Suspend the October Agricultural Labor Survey

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) intends to suspend the October Agricultural Labor Survey.

Public announcement of the intent to change the federal statistical program is available per requirements of the Office of Management and Budget in a Federal Register Notice Information about the farm labor program is available at https://www.nass.usda.gov/Surveys/Guide_to_NASS_Surveys/Farm_Labor.

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
