1925 Census of Agriculture

The first United States Census of Agriculture was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth Decennial Census of population. From 1850 to 1920, an agricultural census was taken every 10 years as part of the Decennial Census. A mid-decennial agricultural census was taken in 1925 and taken quinquennially until 1950. Starting in 1954, the census of agriculture is conducted for the years ending in "4" and in "9." Starting in 1997, the classification changed to A 92.53.
