Abstract:
NASS is requesting to use the "minimum" category version without examples for each of the seven main race/ethnicity categories on the National Agricultural Classification Survey (NACS) Phase 3. The primary goal of the NACS is to identify new agricultural operators to add to NASS’ List Frame for the annual statistical program and the 2027 Census of Agriculture mailing list. NASS will provide the race/ethnicity examples in the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) material accessible online. No published estimates are derived from this survey.
