Summary
The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) wants to bring back a survey that collects info from farmers about how they sell food directly to buyers.

Reinstated Survey of Direct Sales
If you are a farm producer who sells food directly to consumers or to retailers, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) intends to reinstate a survey that will ask about how you produce and market that food. The survey is being collected to gather data about direct-from-farm production and marketing and may be used in reports.
Whole-Farm Data for Classification and Reports
NASS will also collect some whole-farm data to classify and group operations so it can summarize and publish results about farm operations. If you operate a farm, information about your whole operation may be used to place your farm into groups for those published summaries.
