USDA to gather cash rents data

LINCOLN - The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will conduct the Cash Rents and Leases survey starting Feb. 3. The survey provides the basis for estimates of the current year’s cash rents paid for irrigated cropland, non-irrigated cropland, and permanent pasture. Over 241,000 survey recipients across the United States have been selected to complete the survey, which can be completed online at agcounts.usda.gov, by mail or phone. If respondents do not complete the survey by Feb. 20, they may be contacted for an interview.
