Members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture 

 Statistics and representatives of both public and private 



organizations made significant recommendations which helped 

 establish data content. 



Members of various agencies of the U.S. Department of 

 Agriculture provided valuable advice in the planning, publicizing, 

 and processing phases of the census, and in helping farmers and 

 ranchers complete the report forms. 



The press, farm magazines, radio and television stations, and 

 farm organizations were most helpful in publicizing the census 

 and encouraging cooperation of farm and ranch operators. 



Special tribute is paid to the millions of farm and ranch 

 operators who furnished the information requested. Only through 

 their cooperation was it possible to collect and publish the data in 

 this report.
