USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service

The USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is a key player in the agricultural landscape, with a particular focus on the dairy market. It systematically collects and publishes vital data that is essential for stakeholders in the industry, especially organic milk producers.

Important Events

A significant development involving NASS is the provision in the House version of the Farm Bill. This provision requires NASS to collect and publish monthly data on farmgate pay prices for organic milk producers. This initiative aims to improve transparency and offers organic milk producers reliable insights into the market.

Additionally, NASS has provided data for Tank Transport's analysis of recent milk production. This data has been instrumental in understanding milk production trends and their impact on regional hauling networks.
