2022 USDA Census of Agriculture: The deadline for the 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture has been extended. The Census of Agriculture is a crucial data-collection tool to ensure that Black, Indigenous, and People of Color farmers and ranchers secure access to important support, aid, and assistance in the coming years. In many ways, our collective work depends on the USDA knowing how many of us are out there tending land and working to feed our communities. You can learn more about the 2022 Census of Agriculture here. You can find Frequently Asked Questions here. If you need additional assistance completing your Ag Census, please contact Carine Meyer-Rodrigues at carine@ruralco.org.
