Acknowledgments

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the 2012 Census of
Agriculture, analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census provides a comprehensive picture of
American agriculture in 2012, and NASS recognizes and appreciates that many individuals and organizations contributed
to the effort.

Most importantly, the success of the agriculture census depends directly on the cooperation of farmers and ranchers across
the country. Recognizing that participating in the census is their responsibility and gives them a voice in their future,
agricultural producers took the time to provide the information requested. We are grateful to every producer who
participated in the 2012 Census of Agriculture.

Also essential were the many partners who communicated about the census and encouraged producers to respond. Farm
organizations, stakeholder groups, agricultural media, community-based organizations, and land grant and other
universities helped to build awareness of the census and its importance to producers, their communities, and U.S.
agriculture as a whole. We appreciate their help in reaching all kinds of agricultural operations, thereby ensuring a
comprehensive census.

Various USDA agencies and State departments of agriculture provided valuable advice during the planning, data
collection, and processing phases of the census, as well as critical assistance at the local level to farmers and ranchers
completing census forms. Our thanks to them and to the enumerators who collected data locally through NASS’
cooperative agreement with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture.

Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics offered advice on census questions, as well as their strong
and consistent support and thoughtful recommendations for census and other programs. Representatives of public and
private organizations provided input as well.

Finally, we acknowledge and appreciate the support services of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Processing
Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

through the Quick Stats database. To learn about other NASS reports and activities, visit www.nass.usda.gov. You can
