Farming families are being sought as applicants for the 2023 Farming Heritage Award that is being offered by the State Fair of West Virginia and West Virginia Farm Bureau.

Did you know that the 2022 Census of Agriculture mails this fall?

This once-every-five-year data collection impacts decisions about the Farm Bill, disaster assistance, grants, programs, rural and urban investment, and more. For the West Virginia Farm Bureau and groups like us across the nation, the ag census data helps tell our neighbors, the nation and the world our ag story.

If you’re an ag producer who did not receive a 2017 Census of Agriculture and does not currently receive other USDA surveys, please sign up for the 2022 ag census by going to http://nass.usda.gov/AgCensus today. The Census of Agriculture is Your Voice, Your Future, Your Opportunity.
