USDA: USDA Extends Due Date To March 7 For National Agricultural Classification Survey | |
USDA extends due date to March 7 for National Agricultural Classification Survey
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14, 2022 – USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) wants recipients of the National Agricultural Classification Survey (NACS) to know that there is still time to respond. Mailed last December to more than a million potential U.S. agricultural producers, the NACS collects data on agricultural activity and basic farm information. These data will be used to build a survey recipient list for the 2022 Census of Agriculture. Response to the NACS is required by federal law for all who receive the questionnaire, even if the recipient is not an active farmer or rancher. Questionnaires can be completed securely online at agcounts.usda.gov, by mail or phone. The response deadline is extended to March 7.
“Filling out the NACS is one of the most important steps to determining who should receive the Census of Agriculture questionnaire this fall,” said Census and Survey Division Director Barbara Rater. “The influential Census of Agriculture dataset is used by many – from local and federal governments, to educators, researchers, agribusinesses, media and more – impacting decisions that affect producers, their farms, families, communities, industries, and the nation. Every producer should have a voice. Through the ag census, their voices will help shape the future of American agriculture.”
Ag producers who did not receive a NACS and do not currently receive USDA censuses and surveys can sign up to be counted at agcounts.usda.gov/getcounted. All information reported to NASS is kept confidential, protected by federal law. To learn more about NACS and the Census of Agriculture, visit nass.usda.gov/go/nacs.

Santa Maria and Guadalupe-area Farmers Oppose Santa Maria Trail Extension
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors is considering an extension of the Santa Maria Levee Trail, and local farmers are organizing opposition to the extension. Nearly 100 acres of prime farmland will have to be taken out of production if the extension is approved. Even if you are not directly impacted, local agriculture supporters are still asked to sign on to the letter.
The Honorable Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors,
The vibrant communities of Santa Maria and Guadalupe are home to our county’s largest agricultural producers, with a population of roughly 120,000 residents, most of whom are agricultural workers. Our community not only prides itself on our rich agricultural heritage, but also on the expansive open and recreational space it offers citizens. The proposed extension of the Santa Maria Levee Trail, however, has not adequately considered the impact to both the population it is intended for, or the unintended consequences to agricultural producers in the valley. …

From the Fields® - February 16, 2022
By George Kendall, San Luis Obispo County lemon and avocado grower
We did not get our lemons picked before the December rains. We normally pick three times a year, and we didn't get the last pick in. The orchard did dry out by the middle of January, and we were able to get the pre-harvest spray on and get a crew to pick then. After that, we had the crew do the annual pruning, and we mulched the cuttings into the drive rows. We had to run the wind machine a couple of mornings in late January, but we did not see any damage in the lemons.
With what we picked, we got about what we expected. We get a larger amount of fruit in May; that's our main harvest, and then we get smaller pickings in September. Then in December or January, we get another smallish pick. The quality was good. Our next harvest will be most likely in May.
In the avocado orchard, the recent warm weather that we've had in February has caused us to step our irrigation up a little bit. We had 88 degrees on Feb. 8 and 9. We use a lot of wood chips in the grove, so we don't have too much weed pressure. That'll come a little bit later. This week we started to pick some of the green-skin varieties, specifically the Zutano. But the main half harvest won't begin until after we prune in April and May.
This year's crop is smaller than last year's crop. We had quite a bit of cool weather last spring during bloom and fruit set, so we didn't set a lot of fruit until late in the bloom period. Quality looks reasonable, but the volume, in our area at least, is going to be down.
We will begin our fertilizer program in March. We'll prune in April/May, and then we'll pick after that.
