USOA Crop and Weather The Nation’s farmers, marketers, and consumers have benefited from a century of service by thousands of weather observers, county agents, and crop reporters who have provided current and reliable information on the weather’s effect on our food and fiber supply. The weather-crop service, begun in 1872, is now a cooperative effort of the U.S. Departments of Agriculture and Commerce. It has undergone a number of alterations in its century of growth; originating with the Army Signal Corps from a pioneer project of the Smithsonian Institution, it switched to the Weather Bureau of USDA in 1891, and in 1940 became the joint product of USDA crop experts, and Com merce’s weather specialists. Weather and crop condition summaries appear in the national Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin.
