Check your mailboxes, Northeastern Region producers – the 2021 Hemp Acreage and Production Survey is in the mail. The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is surveying producers to collect information on the total planted and harvested area, yield, production, and value of hemp in the United States. Data is collected for hemp grown in the open and hemp grown under protection. This first hemp survey was sent to 2,400 potential hemp producers in the Northeastern Region.
This survey will set the benchmark for hemp acreage and production to assist regulatory agencies, producers, state governments, processors, and other key industry entities. Your response is important!
Online response is fast and secure. You may complete your form at agcounts.usda.gov. All you need is your unique survey code located on the front of the questionnaire mailed to you to complete your survey online. You may also complete and return your survey by mail using the return envelope provided.
If you received the survey and you are not an active hemp producer, answering a few simple questions at the beginning of this survey will ensure that you will not receive any further NASS communications about hemp.
