* Bt crops that have insect-resistant traits and HT crops that have herbicide tolerance traits.
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) and Economic Research Service (ERS) sponsor the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS). This survey includes a crop-specific survey of production practices (called ARMS Phase 2) for selected major crops each once every 5 years on a rotating basis.
