The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has announced it will conduct the 2025 Organic Survey. The survey, which is part of the Census of Agriculture Program, aims to collect data on organic production, marketing practices, income, and expenses in the United States.
Survey codes will be mailed to selected respondents in early December, inviting them to reply online. In January, NASS will follow up by mailing a full questionnaire. Producers can complete the survey either online at agcounts.usda.gov or by mail. The deadline for response is February 5, 2026.
According to NASS Administrator Joseph Parsons, “Organic agriculture is a growing industry, and it is our job as a federal statistical agency to help measure this part of the agriculture sector. We are excited to provide data on organic agriculture that will help inform organic producers and other industry professionals to make informed decisions for their operations.”
This survey is required by law under Title 7 USC 2204(g) Public Law 105-113. The law also ensures that producers’ identities and responses remain confidential.
The survey will be sent to all known organic farms and ranches in all 50 states, including those transitioning to certified organic production. It requests information about acreage, production levels, sales figures, and various production and marketing practices.
Results from the 2025 Organic Survey are scheduled for release on October 30, 2026. More details about the survey are available at https://www.nass.usda.gov/go/organic.
