July Surveys:
The Cattle Report inquires about current inventory, calf crop, grazing fees, and death losses. The Sheep and Goat Report requests current inventories, and lamb/kid crop. The Quarterly Agricultural Labor Survey begins mid-month. Dry Bean and Dry Onion surveys begin late July and continue until the first week in August. Monthly Agricultural Yield Surveys continue through November.

August & September Surveys:
These months we begin collecting data on fruit and nut crops – Apples and Pecans. Also the National Agricultural Statistics Service new Organic Production Survey continues work started with the 2007 Census of Agriculture. With this survey we hope to collect production, economics and marketing within the organic industry. With the September Agricultural Survey we collect data on small grain production for the 2009 crop year. The early County Agricultural Production Survey (CAPS) conducted in September will provide county level data for wheat and barley. Also in September are the Quarterly Hog Report and Off Farm Grain Stocks Report.
