Crop Reporting Service Roots Through Civil War Origin
The Crop Reporting Service began during the Civil War with Harrisburg as its center. Founded by a Delaware County commissioner appointed by President Lincoln in 1862, it started from fewer than 3,000 farmers across twenty-one states and now has about 200,000 volunteers. The service issues twelve general crop reports, twenty ports, and six labor wage sheets annually, compiling state agriculture statistics. A note mentions the state Department of Agriculture publication this year in three sections with many blank pages.
