I'm hoping that the group here can help me with some questions: I keep getting notifications from the USDA about the 2022 Census. I probably get something in the mail every few weeks with "everyone is required by law to report". Now, I am not a farm, nor do I intend to have a farm. I am in the city where I have 5 backyard chickens so our family can have eggs. We don't sell them and really don't want to be on some list as a farm. I'm not selling meat or doing anything that would cause my chickens to interact with anyone outside of my immediate family. I've always wondered how they even knew we have chickens (maybe Tractor Supply or the farm we bought the chicks from?). My question is:
1. do I have to report?
2. or is it no big deal if we report anyway?
3. what happens if I don't? Are there any legal ramifications, or will they just keep mailing me the surveys?
4. How do I get off this mailing list?
Thanks for your advice.
