INTRODUCTION:  
[Introduce yourself, and ask for the operator.  Rephrase in your own words.]

We are collecting information on chemical use and need your help to make the information as accurate as possible.  Authority for collection of information on the Oats Postharvest Chemical Use Survey is Title 7, Section 2204 of the U.S. Code.  This information will be used for analysis and to compile and publish estimates for your state and the United States.  Response to this survey is confidential and voluntary.

We encourage you to refer to your records during the interview.

Now I have some questions about postharvest chemical data on oats handled, stored, or processed by your operation from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006.  I will be asking for chemical products used, quantity treated, total amount of product applied, and timing and method of application.  Please use your records to answer the questions as accurately as possible and to insure we do not miss any products used.  Include oats treated while in storage or on the ground, or in barges, ships, rail cars or on trucks by this operation.
