RELATING TO AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

SB 1111 creates a state-run Agricultural Statistics Program to collect and analyze farm and crop data, directly affecting agricultural producers and state agencies managing farm-related programs. The bill appropriates state funds to operate this program, which will gather consistent data on crop yields, livestock, and farm economics. It requires the program to produce annual reports for public access and state decision-making. The program will become active on July 1, 2050, after the bill's effective date. This establishes a permanent data system for agricultural policy and planning.
