		Dear Potato Grower: Your name was selected from a sample of farmers who grow potatoes in Michigan. We need your report even if you have no potatoes this year or only a small acreage. Questions refer to potatoes planted this year on land you operate and to the disposition of your 2007 potato crop. We need your help to make our estimate of potato acreage and disposition as accurate as possible. Please help reduce survey costs by completing this inquiry and returning it as soon as possible. If your report is not received in the next few days, an interviewer will ask for your assistance by telephone or in person. Response to this survey is voluntary and not required by law, but answers to these questions will be appreciated and kept confidential. Thank you.
Please make corrections to name, address and Zip Code, if necessary.
