NASS — National Agricultural Statistics Service

Parent: U.S. Department of Agriculture. Domains in this note: nass.usda.gov, usda.gov.

What they regulate

NASS (USDA) publishes U.S. agricultural statistics and crop reports used by grain, livestock, and softs desks. It does not license commodity intermediaries or FMCSA brokers. Market participants still need the correct CFTC/NFA, AMS, and state paths when trading or introducing. Indexed ≠ endorsed.

Always prefer the live .gov site over a third-party mirror. Index ≠ endorsement.

How to verify

  1. NASS home — Crop reports, surveys, and ag statistics — not a CFTC or state broker licence register.
  2. Quick Stats / reports context — Prefer live nass.usda.gov publications over mirrors.
