As you know, it’s the only source of uniform, comprehensive and impartial agricultural data for every county in the nation. Census data are widely used, often relied on when developing the Farm Bill and other farm policy, and when making decisions about dis- aster relief, community planning, technology development, and more. The VCTGA counts on having this kind of data from the Census of Agriculture and NASS data. The more responses they have, the more accurate and complete the data will be; we want all farms represented. Data from the Census help:  Shape programs and initiatives that benefit young and beginning farmers;  Expand access to resources that help women, veteran and minority farmers;  And help farmers diversify into new markets, including local and regional food systems, specialty crops and organic production;  Helps support grant requests and acting on legislative/regulatory issues that affect your business
