o-k....so I keep getting them USDA cesus's about every other year for past....well since about 1979 or so. said I could fill it out on line, so I choose that way this time, cept when I gots all dun, the screen said error, web site not found! $^&#^(#%@!!!!! I spent a lot of time on that danged thing! so I dropped it. then a couple weeks later I gits another of the same thing to fill out. I was still po'd about the first one and ignored this one. then about a month goes by and I get yet another one to fill out. soooooo.....I triir next mailing!ed the web page thingy again, and it still wouldn't go thru, so I accendently mis placed that one. then this last week, I gits a NASTY gram ibn the mail stating it's the law and they do procecute if the census is not filled out and mailed back in. o-k, I finally found it, filled it out in about 3-4- minutes and mailed the sucker this time. I HOPE THEY'RE HAPPY! I gave them someone elses name for their next mailing! JOe...let me know if you get it! LMAO

Unless it came REGISTERED mail and you had to sign for it, toss next ones and followup letters into the firepit !! If and I mean IF 'they ' ever call, just say ...'I filled it out the night it came mailed it back next day'.
I don't tell no one real info unless they show up in person, even then I ask for their ID, ask them to wait outside, call the company ,confirm ID. What can I say..I'm getting old and cranky !

I can't figure out how it's suppose to be anonymous but they will know if you didn't fill it out? I was not going to fill mine out until a friend said he was paid a visit because he kept tossing his in the trash. And they wrote his answers down during their visit. Some questions I think are good for some study on agriculture topics but some are definitely none of their business. They don't need to know how much I make off of hay. But if they want to know I grew 12 acres of hay then they should be able to figure out with market prices and average bale production then fine but I shouldn't have to tell them. Are they going to take away my farm tax exemption? Are they going to lower my property taxes? Are they going to come in and give me a grant to produce more hay? Are they going to confiscate my tractors and make me buy new ones because of emissions?

They keep sending them to my wife so I guess they will lock her up. The farm is in my name, Bunch of dummies. The gubmint knows too much about us already, they don't need any more information.

They want this info all time so they can figure how to get the family farmer, little guy farmer, and semi retired farmers off their farms. They want to get the properties into big agri-bis and other larger tax producing hands. The gov used to promote self sufficiency, victory gardens, etc. not any more!

yep....just like when they go out and see one great field of grain, then all of a sudden the whole nation will have a bumper crop and the prices fall!
