Dear Mr. Fixler,

Thank you for your letter dated June 16, 2014 to Mr. David Hancock of the National Agricultural Statistics Service in support of the Tenure, Ownership and Transition of Agricultural Land (TOTAL) survey. Your detailed enumeration of the uses of the data from the TOTAL survey provides supporting documentation for this comprehensive survey. It is our goal to continue to work with colleagues from the Economic Research Service to provide the best quality statistics possible.

If we can be of any further service, please don’t hesitate to contact me by e-mail at [email protected].

Sincerely,
