GRAIN PRICES RECEIVED BY FARMERS FOR GRAINS AND PULSE CROPS – 2024

This non-substantive change request affects the Grain Prices Received by Farmers for Grain and Pulse Crops. The change is being requested by the survey team to incorporate the program changes following the Census of Agriculture as mentioned in Information Collection Requests (ICRs) 202402-0535-001 and 202404-0535-005. NASS considered public input requested through a program review announcement released on Dec. 19, 2023 for these changes.

The surveys conducted and releases will not change from what is included in the ICR.  The columns or variables that are published will also not change from publications mentioned in the ICR.  However, there will be minimal changes to the rows (States that are published) in the publications mentioned in the ICR from these program changes.
