The USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is seeking nominations for the Advisory Committee on Agricultural Statistics.
Members of this committee advise the Ag Secretary on the scope, timing, and content of periodic agricultural censuses, surveys of agriculture, and other related industries.
The committee also makes recommendations on the content of agriculture reports and represents the views and data needs of suppliers and users of ag statistics.
“The Advisory Committee has long played an important role within our agency,” says NASS Administrator Hubert Hamer. “The valuable insights and recommendations from the committee have helped shape NASS programs and ensure we continue to meet the needs of data and statistics.”
The committee, appointed by the Ag Secretary, consists of 22 members representing multiple disciplines and interests, including ag producers, national farm organizations, ag economists, and many others. Nominations are due by December 7, and for more details, go to the NASS Advisory Committee website.
