This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division. Many 

 divisions participated in the various activities: Decennial Planning 

 coordinated the agriculture census data collection in conjunction 

 with the 1990 Census of Population and Housing; Economic 

 Programming prepared the computer programs and designed 

 the computer system; Geography developed the field maps; 

 Administrative and Publication Services provided the forms design, 

 publication planning and design, editorial reviews, composition, 

 and printing procurement. The census program was conducted 

 under the direction of Juan S. Borja and William H. Stewart, 

 Co-directors of the Census for the Government of the Com- 



monwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, under a special 

 agreement with the U.S. Census Bureau. Technical advice and 

 oversight were provided by Carolyn Hay, Census Advisor, U.S. 

 Bureau of the Census. 



Representatives of the Government of the Commonwealth of 

 the Northern Mariana Islands made significant recommendations 

 which helped establish data content and provided valuable 

 advice during the planning stages of the census. 



Special tribute is paid to the many farm operators who 

 furnished the information requested. Only through their cooper- 

 ation was it possible to collect and publish the data in this report.
