Abstract: The primary objective of the

national estimates of crop and livestock
production, prices, and disposition as
well as economic statistics, farm
numbers, land values, on-farm pesticide
usage, pest crop management practices,
as well as the Census of Agriculture.
Livestock slaughter data are used to
estimate U.S. red meat production and
reconcile inventory estimates which
provide producers and the rest of the
industry with current and future
information on market supplies. This
data is also used in preparing
production, disposition, and income
statistics which facilitate more orderly
production, marketing, and processing
of livestock and livestock products.
Authority: These data will be collected
under the authority of 7 U.S.C. 2204(a).
Individually identifiable data collected under
this authority are governed by Section 1770
of the Food Security Act of 1985, 7 U.S.C.
2276, which requires USDA to afford strict
confidentiality to non-aggregated data
provided by respondents. This Notice is
