Dear Producer:
When it comes to policies that affect you, your family, your farm, and your community, accurate data
are extremely important. To ensure that federal, state, local, and industry decision-makers have
accurate and objective information, we are surveying farmers across the United States in the annual
Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) to measure the financial state and production
practices of U.S. farms and farm households. The results of this survey help evaluate financial impacts
of numerous programs, including crop insurance, dairy margin protection, and local payments.
Please take the time to respond to this important survey. Once all responses are in, NASS will analyze
them and publish the results in the Production Expenditures report on July 24, 2026. The USDA’s
Economic Research Service (ERS) will use these results to prepare and disseminate the Department's
annual estimates of farm sector income and finances. ERS also uses aggregated off-farm information
to better understand and report on farm households and the broader farm economy.
As with all our surveys, NASS safeguards the privacy of all respondents, ensuring that no
individual respondent or operation can be identified. Be assured that your responses to ARMS will
be kept completely confidential, as required by federal law.
Thank you in advance for investing in the future of U.S. agriculture and ensuring that decisions
affecting you, your family, your business, and your community are based on the facts.
Sincerely,

Lance Honig
