As expected, USDA’s National Ag Statistics Service (NASS) announced it will restart a number of reports this year that it had discontinued due to the sequester. The massive FY 2014 appropriations measure signed into law last month included funding for it to do so. The reinstated programs include the following:
- All Catfish and Trout Reports
- July Cattle Report
- Potato Stocks Reports
- Non-Citrus Fruit, Nut and Vegetable Forecasts and Estimates & Monthly Prices
- June Rice Stocks Report
- All Hops and Hops Stocks Estimates
- Mink Report
NASS has not determined the dates for publication of the reports listed above. It will announce the dates when they are set. The full calendar of NASS reports is available at www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/index.asp.
