The U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
announced today that the Agricultural Chemical Usage 2007 Field
Crops Summary released May 21 will be the last agricultural
chemical usage publication until 2010. No agricultural chemical
usage surveys will be conducted on crops produced in 2008.
However, under a cooperative agreement with the USDA Economic
Research Service, NASS plans to collect wheat nutrient and
pesticide data as part of the 2009 Agricultural Resource
Management Survey and plans to publish this data in May 2010.
NASS announced its revised schedule for collecting agricultural
chemical usage data in a March 4, 2008 Federal Register (Vol.
73, No. 43, March 4, 2008, pp. 11613-11614). |
