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.

	Please complete the table on the reverse side of this form with information on all orchards you own and/or operate.  An orchard is considered to be any contiguous block of trees planted the same year with the same tree spacing.  It is very IMPORTANT that you include the name of the orchard operator or owner if different from you to avoid duplicating information.  If year of planting is unknown, enter an approximate year or decade.  If precise number of acres, spacing, or number of trees is unknown, enter your best estimate.  If more than three varieties are planted in an orchard, please note the additional varieties in the margin.
