INTRODUCTION:
[Introduce yourself, and ask for the operator. Rephrase in your own words.]
We are collecting information on practices and costs to produce rice and need your help to make the information as accurate as
possible. Authority for collection of information on the Rice Production Practices and Costs Report is Title 7, Section 2204 of the U.S.
Code. This information will be used for economic analysis and to compile and publish estimates for your region and the United States.
Under Title 7 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 is voluntary. . You may skip any question(s) you prefer not to answer.
We encourage you to refer to your farm records during the interview.
