/in , /by
USDA’s National Ag Statistics Service (NASS) will be contacting farmers to gather final year-end crop production numbers and the amount of grain stored on their farms. The responses to the survey will be used in calculating county-level yields. Survey results will be published in several reports, including the Crop Production Annual Summary and the Quarterly Grain Stocks Report.
 
The reports will be released on January 12, 2021. All NASS reports are available online at www.nass.usda.gov. For more information call the NASS North Dakota Field Office at 800-582-6443.
