RE: Docket Number 0535-0247, Distiller’s By-Product Survey
On behalf of the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), I would like to thank you and
those you represented for your correspondence and suggestions regarding our upcoming
Distiller’s Co-Products Survey.
We share your concern and agree that an accurate, independent, government source of data is
needed. Many of your suggestions have already been adopted and I can assure you that all of
them are being considered. Significant changes to date from the 2006 survey conducted in
conjunction with the Nebraska Corn Board include an expansion of states that will be surveyed
and the addition of poultry as a category. Current plans are to survey livestock and poultry
producers every five years as part of a new Energy Program here at NASS. We look forward to
working with you on this project and other energy related projects in the future.
Please give me a call at (202)720-7216 with any concerns or suggestions you may have
regarding the 2011 Distiller’s Co-Products Survey. I can also be reached by email at
[email protected].
Thank you for your time and participation.
