The '''Agricultural Resource Management Survey''' is the [[United States Department of Agriculture]]’s primary source of information on the [[finance|financial condition]], production practices, resource use, and [[economy|economic]] well-being of America's farm households. Sponsored jointly by the [[Economic Research Service]] (ERS) and the [[National Agricultural Statistics Service]] (NASS), ARMS began in 1996, as a synthesis of the former USDA cropping practice, chemical use, and farm costs and returns surveys, which dated back to 1975. ARMS data underpin USDA's annual estimates of net farm income and fulfills a [[United States Congress|congress]]ional [[:wikt:mandate|mandate]] that USDA provide annual cost-of-production estimates for commodities covered under farm support legislation. ARMS also provides data regarding chemical use on field [[crops]] required under [[Environmental policy|environmental]] and food safety legislation.
