County Agent BMMCICiaaMMMMMCee^wctce^^
Mr. Fanner, it is ;time for you to be giving serious thought to the Agricultural Census to be taken this fall. Far too many of you have indicated that giving census data amounts to nothing pore than a pain-in-the-neck.
Such an attitude is indeed unfortunate and wrong.
While the information given on any farm is strictly confidential each fanner has a definite responsibility in the accuracy of the completed picture. The information that each fanner tups in to the census taker is added up and in the end we have a report, inventory, or picture of what each county, state and the nation has today from a farm standpoint which is the Agricultural Census. .
The Census report of any county has direct bearing on the prices any farmer receiving for his farm products. It can, and does, help a number of farmers to make adjustments in their individual business as well as farm enterprises. By comparing crop yields, or livestock numbers, etc. shown in die different census over a period of years can determine what We’ll be produe king 10-20-30 years from now. Also one can get an indication of what the demand will! be for certain products whether jit be applesauce, cigarettes, meat, cotton or peanuts. The value of the census as a guide to your, and other bus^ inesses, is no better than the accuracy of the information each farmer gives.
