USDA to Measure Farmland Rental Rates
Missouri Ag Connection - 02/04/2016
This month, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service will contact Missouri farmers and ranchers to gather land rental rate information for the Cash Rents and Leases survey. The results of this survey will serve as a valuable
decision-making tool for farmers, ranchers and other landowners.
"This brief survey is our only source of county cash rental rates," said NASS' Missouri state statistician Robert Garino. "By responding, producers help the farming community and ensure USDA bases its decisions on the most accurate data."
NASS will publish average cash rental rates at national, state and county levels for non-irrigated cropland, irrigated cropland, and pastureland on Sept. 9.
More than 12,000 Missouri farmers will receive the survey forms. NASS offers the option of responding online via a secure Internet connection. In April, NASS representatives will begin calling and visiting producers who have not yet responded.
"We guarantee confidentiality of all individual information, regardless of the respond method participants choose, as required by federal law," Garino said. "NASS will combine producer responses, providing the only accurate and comprehensive estimate of
average rent and lease rates, whether at the county, state or national level."
For more information about the Cash Rents and Leases survey, call the NASS Missouri Field Office at (573) 876-0950.
