Happy New Year!

The Women’s Agricultural Network would like to extend a sincere Happy New Year to all of you. We wish you a prosperous, healthy and productive year. Thank you for all you do to keep our landscape working.
We’d also like to encourage you to complete the USDA 2007 Census of Agriculture. The forms were mailed last week and should be arriving in your mailbox soon.
The Census of Agriculture is the responsibility of every farmer and rancher, regardless of the size or type of operation. For Census purposes, a farm is any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the Census year.
This year for the first time you can complete the census online. Look for instructions along with the passcode inside your form. If you do not receive a form you can request one at https://www.agcounts.usda.gov/cgi-bin/counts
The deadline for completing the census is February 4, 2008.
