USDA Launches Interactive Census of Ag Maps

NASS has launched a collection of interactive maps to allow data users to access key Census of Agriculture information. The newly redesigned Ag Census Web Maps application offers the public access to maps and accompanying data to help visualize, download and analyze Census of Agriculture data down to the county level. The app parses maps and statistics from the 2022 census across a number of categories including crops, producers and economics.

“NASS is excited to provide the public with customizable, interactive and accessible ways to work with the vast trove of Census of Agriculture data,” said NASS Administrator Joe Parsons. “The Ag Census Web Maps application allows users to visualize the state of American agriculture in a way no other Census of Agriculture product provides.”

NASS has also made available on its website a range of new products related to the 2022 Ag census: Market Value of Ag Products Rankings; State and County Profiles; Congressional District Profiles and Rankings; the Race, Ethnicity, and Gender Profiles; the Watersheds report; and the American Indian Reservations Report. In addition, the 2022 Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture data were released July 18 and can be viewed on NASS’s ag census web page.

In preparation for the 2027 Census of Ag, NASS is already asking for content change suggestions and for new producers who did not receive a 2022 Census of Agriculture questionnaire last year to sign up to be counted. Both forms can be found at NASS' Website.
