The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is seeking approval to conduct a new information collection to gather data on hemp production. This initiative is in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 and will help inform programs under the 2018 Farm Bill. The survey will target up to 20,000 farmers and ranchers, with an estimated burden of 15 minutes per response. Public comments on this proposed data collection must be submitted by April 26, 2021, to ensure consideration.
Simple Explanation
The government wants to ask farmers some questions about growing a plant called hemp to help make better rules. They're planning to send these questions to a lot of farmers and hope everyone answers quickly, like in 15 minutes!
