INTRODUCTION

[Introduce yourself, and ask for the operator. Rephrase in your own words.]

The National Agricultural Statistics Service is collecting information on land management and conservation practices. The information collected will be used by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to assess the environmental benefits associated with the implementation and installation of conservation practices.

We need your help to make the information as accurate as possible. All conservation practices that are in place should be reported – whether they were installed as part of a Federal or State Cost-Share program, an industry or non-profit program, or by you (the operator) with no outside support. We encourage you to refer to your farm records during the interview.

Authority for collection of information on the Conservation Effects Assessment Project Report is Title 7, Section 2204 of the U.S. Code. Under Title 7 Section 2276 of the U.S. Code and CIPSEA (Public Law 107-347), facts about your operation are kept confidential and used only for statistical purposes. Response to this survey is voluntary.

SCREENING

	[The following Screening questions should be collected ONLY if a signal is not available for use by the iPad device.]
[Show the aerial photography to respondent and locate the sample point. Identify the field associated with the point.]
1. Did you make any of the day-to-day farming/ranching decisions for the field containing this point in 2011?
YES NO
[If YES, continue. If NO, conclude the interview and ask for the respondent’s assistance in locating the correct operator.]
	[With the respondent, draw off the entire area that can be identified as the selected field ]
2 During 2011, was the entire field enrolled in the General or Continuous Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP), or any other type of continuous cover conservation program offered by State, local or non-profit organizations?
		CODE
YES – [Enter 1] NO – [Enter 3]
3. In 2011, was any of the field planted or cropped; idle cropland; summer fallow; pasture in rotation with crops; or hayland in rotation with crops?
		CODE
YES – [Enter 1] NO – [Enter 3]
If Question 2 = YES or Question 3 = NO, end interview, point ineligible. If Question 2 = NO and Question 3 = YES, continue, complete interview.
SCREENING COMPLETED – BEGIN HERE
To focus the respondent on the area of interest, the location must be identified as follows. For purposes of this survey, the actual field where the sample point is located must be identified. This location is referred to as the selected field. The survey collects information about conservation practices, cropping history and management practices being undertaken in the selected field. [With the respondent, draw off the entire area that can be identified as the selected field.] Sometimes conservation practices are not actually located in the selected field but are adjacent to or adjoining the field (such as a wind break or filter strip). These practices should be captured during the survey also. [With the respondent, draw off any conservation practices that are adjacent to or adjoin the selected field. Include the selected field.] For CEAP purposes, this area is referred to as the conservation area of interest.
During this interview, the questions will be about this SELECTED FIELD and/or the surrounding areas in conservation practices. We will call this the CONSERVATION AREA OF INTEREST.
