Hort Follow Up Letter

United States Department of Agriculture

February 19, 2015

Dear Horticultural Specialist,

According to our records, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has not yet received your completed 2014 Census of Horticultural Specialties report form. Please complete and return your form today. If you have recently responded, thank you.

If not, you can respond to the Census promptly in either of the following ways:

• Online at www.agcensus.usda.gov. Responding online is the easiest, fastest and safest way to complete your questionnaire and it saves taxpayer dollars too. All you need is the identification number on the form to begin.

• By mail. Complete the form and mail it back in the return envelope provided.

A NASS representative may personally follow up with you to gather this information if a response is not received within 11 days. As a reminder, your response to the Census of Horticultural Specialties is required by law (Title 7, U.S. Code). This same law protects the confidentiality of your responses.

For more information about this program, visit www.agcensus.usda.gov. If you have questions or need assistance, call (888) 424-7828.

Sincerely,

Joseph Reilly

Administrator, National Agricultural Statistics Service
