The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is a branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that is responsible for producing official statistics on agriculture in the United States. NASS conducts surveys and publishes reports on a wide range of topics, including crop production, livestock and poultry, dairy, and economic indicators. The agency also conducts the Census of Agriculture, a comprehensive survey of the U.S. agricultural sector that is conducted every five years. NASS collects and analyzes data from a variety of sources, including farmers and ranchers, agribusinesses, and state and local governments. The agency’s data is used by a wide range of stakeholders, including farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, policymakers, and researchers. The NASS also provides assistance to other countries in the development of their own agricultural statistics programs.
