Overview
USDA's
Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) is an integrated
data collection system that enables the development of
farm business and household accounts for the same unit
of observation. ARMS data provide a direct linkage between
commodity production practices (including conservation)
and the financial status of the farm and its operator's
household. The data also provide insights on several facets
of the agricultural sector, including its contribution
to the national economy, the organization and performance
of farms, the income and well-being of farm households,
and the economics of production practices used across
commodity enterprises. Information collected in the survey
can be used to examine the effects of economic or policy
events on farms and farm households.
