Adoption of Genetically Engineered

Crop Production
Practices—This web-based delivery tool allows
the user to create customized data summaries based on
information collected through a series of field-level
commodity surveys. Also known as Phase II of the Agricultural
Resource Management Survey (ARMS), this series is USDA's
primary source of information about the current status
and trends in crop production practices for several large-acreage
crops (corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton). This survey
also obtains data on U.S. farmers' agricultural resource
use, as well as data to assess potential environmental
impacts associated with crop production practices. The
ARMS survey yields annual data summaries for field-level
data by crop, including: chemicals and seeds, equipment,
previous crops, highly erodible land, irrigation, and
pest, nutrient and crop residue management practices.
Customized data summaries can be generated for production
years beginning in 1996.
Organic Production—All 50 States in the U.S. had some certified
organic farmland. This data set surveys organic operations and acreage
for crops and livestock (over 40 commodities), with some tables dating
back to 1992. Data include the number of
certified operations, by State.
