USDA adds a simpler way to explore farm and livestock numbers

What happened

USDA has introduced AgInsights, a website for exploring agricultural statistics with maps, charts and tables, Texas Farm Bureau reports.

The main points

• The service uses information from Quick Stats, USDA’s existing agricultural statistics database.
• Users can narrow results and compare information instead of looking only at a fixed report.
• The website is designed to work on phones and includes charts that show changes over time.
• The agency’s wider reports cover livestock and crop production, prices and farm finances.

Why it matters to your ranch

Easier access to official data can help ranchers understand broader trends alongside their own records and local market reports.
