A century of USDA data on prices, land, livestock and crops. Ask in plain words and get a sourced answer, a chart worth publishing and the numbers to take with you.
NASS publishes tens of thousands of datasets. Kernel finds the right series, shows its work, and turns it into something you can use the same day.
Turn any NASS series into an interactive chart: trends, state rankings, indexed comparisons and two-axis views.
Get the time series behind every answer in the format you work in, with the NASS series named on every sheet.
Test a theory. "Do corn prices drive fed cattle prices?" Kernel lines up the series and tells you what the data supports, in plain English.
Build regression models across any NASS series, with the checks an economist would run before trusting the result.
Three examples, drawn live from the NASS data behind this page. Every number is read from the series named under each chart.

USDA's free tools are the source, and Kernel is built on them. NASS's new AgInsights (September 2026) turns NASS reports into interactive tables and charts. Kernel starts from your question instead of the report, and does the analyst's work in between.
Kernel uses USDA NASS data. This product uses the NASS API but is not endorsed or certified by NASS.
