About Us

Our office is a cooperative effort of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of USDA and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture. The Service collects agricultural statistics and other information from farm operators and agribusinesses in Minnesota. This information is collected via mail, telephone, personal interviews, and sample crop plots.

Agricultural statisticians compile the data and issue official USDA estimates and reports relating to acreage and production of crops, livestock inventories, livestock products, stocks of agricultural commodities, values of farm products, prices received by farmers, crop development and condition reports, and other subjects. U.S. and state agricultural statistics are published nationally in NASS Agricultural Statistics Board reports and are summarized locally in state-level reports throughout the year.

Our reports are available through a free e-mail subscription service.

You can subscribe to Minnesota and otHi Lauriher States' reports from the NASS web site or our reports are available on our web site.
