The most ambitious and important agricultural survey of all is getting underway in Oregon and the rest of the fifty states as the 2007 Census of Agriculture literally reaches out to every farmer and rancher in the United States.
Katy Coba, director of the Oregon Department of Agriculture, is encouraging the state's producers to cooperate with the census being conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
"There are many reasons for our producers to provide the information requested by the census, but the most compelling is that information about our agriculture is key for policy makers to make good and informed decisions that affect the industry," Coba said.
