The increase is the result of
several factors: the removal of chicken questions from the December
Quarterly Crops Stocks Survey (0535-0213) and the creation of a new
survey for December, the Chicken and Egg Report for non-EOs
(Extreme Operators); the correction of previous recording errors
for estimates of the time required to fill out questionnaires
(allowance for follow-up contacts); and the use of publicity
materials to help increase response rates.
