USDA
Economics and Statistics System "The USDA Economics
and Statistics System contains nearly 300 reports and datasets from
the economics agencies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. These
materials cover U.S. and international agriculture and related topics.
Most reports are text files that contain time-sensitive information.
Most data sets are in spreadsheet format and include time-series
data that are updated yearly."
National
Agricultural Statistics " American agriculture
is continually counted, measured, priced, analyzed, and reported
to provide the facts needed by people working throughout this vast
industry. Each year, the employees of USDA's National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) conduct hundreds of surveys and prepare
reports covering virtually every facet of U.S. agriculture -- production
and supplies of food and fiber, prices paid and received by farmers,
farm labor and wages, farm aspects of the industry. In addition,
NASS's 45 State
Statistical Offices (SSO's) publish data about many of the same
topics for local audiences. NASS publications cover a wide range
of subjects, from traditional crops, such as corn and wheat, to
specialties, such as mushrooms and flowers; from calves born to
hogs slaughtered; from agricultural prices to land in farms. The
abundance of information produced has earned for NASS employees
the title, 'The Fact Finders of Agriculture."
