Similarly, when others are making decisions about agricul ture, we all hope that they use as much good information as possi ble. Like it or not, there will continue to be regulatiotls, legislation, and other decisions made about agriculture that have an impact on your operation. Just as on your farm, policy decisions made with little or no information can be as bad as those made with wrong in formation. It is important for all if us to have the facts to define, promote, and sometimes to defend agriculture. Remember the 1989 Alar scare where the lack of information allowed rumors and inaccura cies to cause huge losses in the apple industry? Obviously, all decisions about agriculture are not always popular or successful but at least we can reevaluate and change course based on accurate and more timely information. Sometimes, various groups within our own agricultural commu nity disagree on ag policy. But they all seem to agree that it is im portant to have factual information on the issues at hand instead of speculation, guesses, and gut feelings. No one likes to fill out government forms. But the five-year Cen sus of Agriculture, and other grower surveys in between, are the best way to generate the facts about agriculture. There are many other organizations that conduct surveys of growers. Some are marketing studies done solely for the benefit of a company or client who can afford to pay for the study. The resulting information is generally not made public. The purpose of a federal statistical agency is so that important information about agriculture is not only in the hands of those can afford to pay for it. Instead, it is public information. In this way, discussions and decisions about agriculture can be evaluated on a level playing field, where everyone has the best information possi ble.
