Farm Census Coming This Fall
Federal law authorizes a Census of Agriculture every five years with data used solely for statistics. Beginning in October or November the 17th nationwide census will start, employing 30 000 enumerators who work in areas with 100 to 200 farms for about three weeks each. Census asks about farm resources time spent on work and production figures to aid farmers and inform advisory groups. Dairy scientists at Penn State study fresh milk flavor isolating compounds to date.
