NOTES

INTRODUCTION: [Introduce yourself, and ask for the operator. Rephrase in your own words.] We are collecting information on practices to produce spring wheat and need your help to make the information as accurate as possible. Authority for collection of information on the Spring Wheat Production Practices Report is Title 7, Section 2204 of the U.S. Code. This information will be used for statistical analysis and to compile and publish estimates for your region and the United States. Response to this survey is confidential and voluntary. We encourage you to refer to your farm records during the interview.
