Abstract: This is a non-substantive change request for the Equine survey. NASS has made several minor changes to the 2010 Maryland Equine Census questionnaire. This survey will be conducted only in Kentucky in 2012. The cooperators who contracted NASS to conduct the survey have added several minor changes to the questions and the layout of the questionnaire to make it more useful for equine farms in Kentucky.
