USDA AG Census

[SF Murray Greys]

I would like to hear some opinions on the new USDA Agriculture Census that has been sent out. Sounds like big brother to me and I feel is none of their business.

I haven't opened mine yet, but if I think the question is none of their business, I don't answer it...that's what I did on the last one.

People who would rather blame and make wild charges against USDA are generally the first o refuse to help them improve the decision making process.

Have you looked at the maps of meat animal density across the USA, among other things, posted in a link recently?

If you claim as some on this site have, that USDA wants the info to 'share' with agr-biz so they can better 'control' you, they already have the info.

Probably got it from a faster, more accurate source than USDA can be, given the number of people who refuse to answer and/or give false info.

" first o refuse to help them improve the decision making process."

No, mrj, we see the kind of decisions they are making and want them to stop selling out public policy to big ag. and not weighing the interests of producers.

mj...If you claim as some on this site have, that USDA wants the info to 'share' with agr-biz so they can better 'control' you, they already have the info.

Then why do they need a census, if they already have all this info?
