Abstract: This is a non-substantive change request to the Agricultural Survey. An additional Crops or Livestock Loss survey was added for Hawaii. The year 2018 saw multiple disaster events in Hawaii. Disasters ranged from volcano eruption over the east side of the Big Island to several flooding rains across the Big Island, Maui, Oahu, and Kauai. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) has entered into a cooperative agreement with NASS to conduct a Crop or Livestock Loss Survey. The survey is based on the approved Crop and Livestock Loss survey, but there are some changes needed to satisfy the needs of the HDOA.
