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 Potato 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.

POSTHARVEST CHEMICAL TREATMENTS APPLIED

Now I will be collecting data on potatoes, only. I will need information for all products applied after harvest. This includes postharvest chemicals applied to all the April crop year potatoes stored, packed/shipped or processed by your operation. I will be asking for the specific product and amount used, quantity of potatoes treated and timing and method of application. Please use your records to answer the questions as accurately as possible and to help make sure we do not miss any products used.
