Farms and ranches are of vital importance to the well-being of the United States. With the vast majority of the population living in urban or semi-urban communities, it is easy to forget the importance and the scope of our agricultural production, but the recently released National Agricultural Statistics Service Census of Agriculture paints an impressive picture. CSREES administers competitive and non-competitive funding opportunities that help its partners undertake a variety of research, education, and extension activities that support the work of farmers and ranchers across the United States. Depending on the underlying legislation, partners include universities and other institutions of higher learning, other government agencies, private for profit and not-for profit organizations, and, in a few cases, private businesses.
