State Assessors Aid Farmers in Data Gathering
West Virginia assessors have refrained from perfecting a long neglected duty to collect up to date agricultural statistics. The data, now compiled by assessors and shared with the State Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, already aids farmers and business, informing markets and enabling standardization efforts like Mountain State Brand for products such as potatoes and dairy feed. The move supports informed buying, better quality, and a stronger farm economy through certified, graded shipments and reliable fertilizer and seed information.
