The United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service Ohio field office  is in the process of conducting interviews for the Agricultural Resource Management Study.

The study is the USDA's primary source of information on the production practices, resource use and economic well-being of America's farm operations and farm households.

The survey targets selected commodities on a rotating basis to collect data on costs of production. The field office will collect information on operating expenditures and production costs from conventional and organic wheat growers, and hog and pig producers.

Interviewers will be contacting more than 600 Ohio farmers by mail and/or personal interview.

They will contact local farmers through late March.
