USDA says that last week s Prospective Plantings Report is not the final word on acreage. The Ag Statistics Service says that a lot can change between the survey and actual planting.
The U.S. floral industry will soon have for the first time comprehensive data on domestic floriculture production and sales in all 50 states thanks to changes to a survey by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
That survey, from which the Floriculture Crops Summary is compiled, will now include growers in all 50 states and data on more crops as well as changes (improvements/enhancements) to how sales are reported. Those findings will be compiled in a report to be published in May.
