Abstract: The first Census of Agriculture occurred in 1840; the 2022 Census of Agriculture is the 30th in the series and the sixth conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The power of the census is its ability to visualize and understand important changes in agriculture at the U.S., state, and county levels. On February 13, 2024, NASS published over 6 million distinct data points from the 2022 Census of Agriculture. The Census of Agriculture defines a farm as any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold or would have been sold during the census year. The current farm definition was established in 1974.
