Farm Census Being
Pretested Nationally
Teams of Census Bureau
employees are fanning out
across the county to get
reactions from 4,000 farmers
on questions that will be
asked in the Census of
Agriculture early _next year.
The census, conducted
every five years, will be used
to obtain 1974 income and
production statistics on a
county-by-county basis from
3,5 million farmers.
Census Advisory Com
mittee member Paul Weller,
of the National Council of
Farmer Cooperatives, said
that fuel and fertilizer
shortages have prompted
several questions not asked
farmers in previous surveys.
They include: product tons
of fertilizer used in 1974 for
each field crop; total acres
fertilized by crop; and total

used in 1974, as well as on
farm fuel storage capacity.
Census plans are moving
ahead, despite the reluc
tance of some officials to
release an updated definition
of “farm” and “fanner” for
survey purposes. Weller
speculated that the 1974
definition of a “farm” may
be “any production unit
producing $l,OOO or more in
gross annual farm sales.”
Farmers will be receiving
the 15-page census forms in
late December, according to
present plans, and will have
until March 15 to complete
and return them. The Census
Bureau hopes to issue county
summaries by December,
1975, and have the completed
census by June, 1976.
