This bulletin presents final estimates on field crops production, acreage, use, and yield. These reports contain data from years 1866 to 2012 and are published every several years. Data included in this publication provide a historic record and a benchmark for current estimates.
This report, released annually from 1991 to 2013, includes statistics about on-farm fertilizer and pesticide usage, and pest management practices on selected field crops and potatoes. Prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression practices are also investigated in the survey. Beginning in May 2010, NASS agricultural chemical use data are published to the Quick Stats 2.0 database only (full-text publications have been discontinued), and can be found under the NASS Chemical Usage Program.
