Secretary Ross in video urging participation in Census of Agriculture

CDFA Secretary Karen Ross appears in a short video PSA reminding California farmers and ranchers to participate in the USDA’s 2012 Census of Agriculture. July 1 is the deadline for signing up for the census, which is intended to be a complete count of U.S. farms and ranches and the people who operate them. Local, state and national leaders rely on the census to make a variety of decisions affecting agriculture.
