Abstract: Provides state and national acreage, yield, and production estimates for selected field crops. Weekly crop progress and condition reports are provided during the growing season. Production estimates are used in marketing decisions that affect the nation's food supply. County level production data is used by insurance companies when calculating farm losses, due to disasters.

Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Forms

Short Statement: The total burden of 146,977 hours is down 26,313 hours from the current inventory of 173,290 hours. This decrease is due to several factors: by redesigning the CAPS surveys we were able to decrease the estimated number of minutes it takes to complete each questionnaire; we were also able to reduce the overall CAPS sample sizes by 90,000 operations per year; reductions in frequency and sample sizes were also incurred on several of the smaller surveys.
