The Kansas Department of Agriculture (KDA) published Farm Facts, a publication of agricultural data, including current and historical production output, agricultural rankings, economic data and more.
Farm Facts, which was previously published once annually by KDA in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agriculture Statistic Service (USDA NASS), will be updated on a regular basis by the department to reflect the latest agricultural data. The report will be maintained online at http://agriculture.ks.gov/about-ksda/kansas-agriculture.
KDA Assistant Secretary Chad Bontrager said the new approach of regularly updating Farm Facts will benefit Kansas farmers, ranchers, agribusinesses, and other key agricultural stakeholders.
“From farmers and ranchers making production decisions, agribusinesses managing business plans, agricultural media reporting on the state of the industry, and agricultural educators and students in the classroom, many Kansans rely on up-to-date and accurate agricultural data daily,” said Bontrager. “Agriculture is the largest industry and economic driver in Kansas. It is critical that all involved in the industry have up-to-date, reliable data on which to base their decisions. That is what this living report provides. We are hopeful Kansans will find this information useful and informative.”
Farm Facts is compiled by KDA based on statistical and economic data collected by USDA NASS, KDA regulatory programs and the U.S. Drought Monitor.
