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.
