Census This Week: Know Your Rights
This is from the NASDA NASS Enumerators Training Manual
We were told anyone concerned would have law enforcement protection
This sampling may be for environmental or other things. Use your Public Servant Questionnaire to find out who, what, were, and when these agencies will be looking at and acting upon your samples. DO NOT THEM SAMPLE WITHOUT A WARRANT or have otherwise volunteered.
Your only duty is to answer the number of people in your home-period. Do not them be friends, or persuade you into giving your freedoms up. Some of this information gets it hands that are out of the country and to Agribusiness, to make their business better and yours looses.
10 Minute Citizen: Save you farm. Only tell any Census worker, Federal or Ag, I have only 1.2.3.4. or whatever in the home. You do not need to tell them your name. This tatic is to get you to verify your name, everything must be verified.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR AGRICULTURAL COMPETITIVENESS AND WORKING PARTNERSHIPS
Agriculture is an important force in the economic, social, and political fabric of America. Policy decisions for and about agriculture, from the Homestead Act that helped settle the West, to the development of our Land Grant college system, were essential building blocks of our society. Now, as America faces the information age and the technology revolution of the 21st century, policy makers must not forget the agricultural foundation that supports our place in the world. Moreover, since the United States has experienced terrorist attacks and it continues to monitor and plan against terrorism in all its forms, there will be an unprecedented focus on the integrity and safety of our farm to table food supply chain. This will be a challenge for producers and policy makers alike.
Farming and ranching are the foundations of our $1 trillion food and fiber business and nearly $60 billion in annual exports. Agriculture is a major contributor in our country’s trade balance. This vast industry is not only essential to the economic health of rural America, it generates almost 16 percent of the total economic activity in the nation, as well as providing almost 18 percent of the country’s jobs. This economic mainstay is rooted in the land resources of the country. More than 900 million acres of agricultural land is in the care of farmers and ranchers and their families, accounting for 60 percent of land use in the lower 48 states. Not only is a sound agricultural sector critical to the health and prosperity of our nation, it is essential to the environmental health of the nation as well.
