Agriculture Secretary Vilsack Statement on the Release of the 2022 Census of Agriculture
Analysis
The claim that Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack issued a statement on the release of the 2022 Census of Agriculture is well supported by multiple sources, despite all being labeled as not fully trusted. These sources consistently reference a statement made by Vilsack on February 13, 2024, highlighting key themes such as the importance of diversified income streams for farmers, concerns about the decline in family farms, and the aging farm population. Although the sources vary in detail and framing, none contradict the existence or content of Vilsack’s statement. The lack of fully trusted sources is a limitation, but the uniformity and specificity of the information across multiple independent reports strongly indicate the claim’s accuracy. Therefore, the core assertion that Vilsack released a statement regarding the 2022 Census of Agriculture is true.
