During the first two weeks of September, growers of small grains around the country will be contacted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service.
The agency is taking a comprehensive look into the 2020 production and supply of small grains, which include wheat, oats, barley, and rye.
USDA’s NASS will contact more than 2,400 producers in North Dakota to accurately measure 2020 acreage, yield, and production for small grains and the quantities of grains and oilseeds stored on farm, says NASS North Dakota State Statistician Darin Jantzi.
Responses to the survey will also be used in calculating county yields.
USDA uses county yield information from the survey to evaluate and administer vital farm disaster mitigation. Farmers who receive this survey should use this opportunity to assure their county is accurately represented in the calculation of North Dakota county yields estimates, says Jantzi.
