Kansas Farm Bureau (KFB) and KFB’s Foundation for Agriculture are offering grants up to $750 to members interested in attending Kansas Farm Bureau’s USDA Reports Trip.
Have you ever wondered how USDA arrives at their monthly crop production, supply, and use numbers? Have you or someone you know ever questioned their accuracy? Then YOU should participate in our USDA Reports Trip.
Kansas Farm Bureau’s USDA Reports Trip to Washington DC is a three-day excursion, August 9-12, 2023. The objective of the trip is to trace the development and release of USDA Crop Reports. Participants will not only hear from Kansas Agricultural Statistics Service statisticians regarding survey methods and data collection processes in the state but also National Agricultural Statistics Service personnel who will explain how state data is compiled and national estimates are made. The trip is highlighted by a flight to Washington D.C. where the group will have the opportunity to observe the August, “USDA Lock Up," and monthly report to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture regarding U.S. crop production, and world supply and demand.
