Abstract

"The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA/NASS) collects information on the market value of agricultural land and buildings through two different procedures: the Census of Agriculture conducted every four to five years and an annual survey. The table in this guide contains state and county values for Missouri land and buildings from every U.S. Census of Agriculture since 1959. The data is gathered through a complex sampling procedure that has varied through the years. In general, these values have been obtained by using a special version of the standard U.S. census form for farms that meet certain criteria. USDA/NASS's annual survey uses a different sampling method and does not provide county-level data. This annual survey is conducted through personal contact with every farm operator within select segments of each state. Surveyors also contact select Realtors and others who have direct knowledge of land sales in the state. The statisticians responsible for this survey compare their data with the census data to see that the figures maintain a uniform historical relationship. Annual land values for Missouri and surrounding states can be found in MU Extension publication G404, Farmland Values for Midwestern States (https://extension.missouri.edu/publications/g404)."--First page.
