National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)
Title: North Carolina Labor Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0264.
Summary of Collection: The primary objectives of the National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) are to prepare and issue
official State and national estimates of crop and livestock production,
disposition and prices, economic statistics, and environmental
statistics related to agriculture and to conduct the Census of
Agriculture and its follow-on surveys. NASS will conduct a survey of
operations in North Carolina. Selected operators in North Carolina will
be asked to provide data on agricultural labor hiring practices.
General authority for these data collection activities is granted
under U.S.C. Title 7, Section 2204. This survey will be conducted on a
full cost recovery basis with the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS) providing funding under a
cooperative agreement.
Need and Use of the Information: The survey results will also be
used by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services to determine a list of best hiring, training labor practices,
and additional guidelines for North Carolina agricultural producers.
The survey results are expected to create programs for youth involved
in the agriculture labor force, improve wages for farmworker families
and to improve commodity prices for growers. The survey results will
also be used by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services in policy reviews for labor regulations and contract
requirements of commodity purchases.
North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services
believes the survey is necessary to advance the understanding of
agricultural labor sources in North Carolina. Currently, there are
limited amounts of data regarding North Carolina's agricultural labor
force and the survey would go a long way to fill that gap by providing
additional data.
Description of Respondents: Agricultural operations in North
Carolina who hire agricultural labor.
Number of Respondents: 3,200.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: One a year.
Total Burden Hours: 1,286.
Ruth Brown,
Departmental Information Collection Clearance Officer.
