The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is seeking nominations to the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics. Members of this committee advise the Secretary of Agriculture 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 agricultural statistics.
“The Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics has long played an important role within our agency,” said NASS Administrator Hubert Hamer. “The committee’s valuable insight and recommendations have helped shape NASS programs and ensure we continue to meet the multifaceted needs of data and statistics. That is why it is important for our committee members to have a broad range of expertise and perspectives that represent the diversity of U.S. agriculture.”
