Daybreak Feb. 6: USDA: Census response ‘strong,’ deadline’s today

Today is officially the last day for farmers to submit their responses for the 2022 Census of Agriculture.

USDA spokeswoman Teresa White says the response to the census so far has been “strong.”

“As far as what will happen to responses received after Monday, we want producers to know that their efforts will count, and to please complete the Census of Agriculture as soon as possible,” she says in an email to Agri-Pulse. “We don’t want any producer to be unrepresented in these influential and widely used data.”
