INTRODUCTION
[Introduce yourself, and ask for the operator.]
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 reportedwhether 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 under Title 7 of the U.S. Code and
CIPSEA (Public Law 107-347). Response to this survey is confidential and voluntary. You may skip any question(s) you prefer not to
answer.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of
information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number for this information collection is 0535-0245. The time required to
complete this information collection is estimated to average 70 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data
sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

SCREENING
Determine the Area of Interest
To focus the respondent on the area of interest, the location must be identified as follows.
1. Selected field
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.
2. Conservation practices associated with the 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 also be captured during the survey.
For CEAP purposes, this area is referred to as the conservation area.
During this interview, the questions will be about the SELECTED FIELD and/or the associated
CONSERVATION AREA.
