America's farms and farmers are integral to the U.S. economy and,
more broadly, to the nation's social and cultural fabric. A healthy
agricultural sector helps ensure a safe and reliable food supply,
improves energy security, and contributes to employment and
economic development, traditionally in small towns and rural areas
where farming serves as a nexus for related sectors from farm
machinery manufacturing to food processing. The agricultural sector
also plays a role in the nation's overall economic growth by
providing crucial raw inputs for the production of a wide range of
goods and services, including many that generate substantial export
value. If the agricultural sector is to be accurately understood
and the policies that affect its functioning are to remain well
informed, the statistical system's data collection programs must be
periodically revisited to ensure they are keeping up with current
realities. This report reviews current information and makes
recommendations to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's)
National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and Economic
Research Service (ERS) to help identify effective methods for
collecting data and reporting information about American
agriculture, given increased complexity and other changes in farm
business structure in recent decades. Table of Contents Front
