Please make corrections to name, address and Zip Code if necessary. ****Please return by May *****			Every 4 years, in cooperation with the Hazelnut Marketing Board, we ask for your help in providing up-to-date information on your hazelnut orchards. This information is important in making hazelnut crop production forecasts, planting decisions, and marketing plans during the next four years. Response to this survey is voluntary and not required by law; however your cooperation will help ensure accurate estimates. Your report will be kept confidential and used only in combination with other reports to compute county and state totals. For 2009, we combined the tree survey with the annual disposition inquiry to reduce your paperwork. Thank you for your help.
