AGEC 101 - The Business of Agriculture: Guide to Research

Government websites often provide the most current statistics available on any given topic. The following U.S. Department of Agriculture websites are recommended for locating data and analysis of agricultural topics.

When citing a government website:

• The “author” of any government material is almost always the agency, office, committee, department, etc. — not an individual person.
• U.S. Federal Government "authors" in citations should begin with "United States" or "U.S."
