Notice
Summary
The Department of Agriculture is asking to bring back its Organic Survey, which helps track organic farming across the U.S. Farmers and businesses involved in organic agriculture will be affected since they’ll provide info every five years. Comments on this plan are open until July 28, 2025, and the survey helps keep farming data accurate without costing respondents extra money.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Survey Supports Organic Crop Price Elections
NASS says the data collection will support requirements in the Agricultural Act of 2014, Section 11023. That section directs the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation to offer producers of organic crops price elections that reflect actual retail or wholesale prices as determined by the Secretary using relevant sources of information.
Organic Survey Requires Farmer Responses
The Department of Agriculture plans to reinstate the Organic Survey and lists farmers and ranchers as respondents. The notice estimates 27,000 respondents, a total of 18,727 burden hours, and states the frequency of responses as "Reporting: Annually."
