California Citrus Acreage Survey --- Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the plant system notation?

The plant system refers to the way trees are planted relative to each other. Most orchards are planted in a square or a rectangular pattern, where the plant spacing for the block specifies the feet between rows and between plants within a row. In the plant system column of the parcel record a 10 indicates a square or rectangular system. A 20 is a diamond pattern and a 40 is a hexagonal system. A 50 or 60 refers to an irregular or border pattern.

• What is the blue “New or Additional Parcel Record” for?

The extra blank form is used when a grower has acquired any additional parcels or properties that are not included with the white pre-printed parcel records. If there are no new parcels to report, the blue sheet can be discarded.

• I have more than one new parcel. What should I do?

Feel free to make as many copies of the blue “New or Additional Parcel Record” page as you need.

• How do I report the sale of a parcel?

When a parcel is sold or transferred to another operator, simply cross out the incorrect information and list the information for the new operator as completely as possible.

• If I have no changes to my parcels, should I send them back?

Yes. If there are no changes to the parcels, just note that on top of the parcel pages and return them so an additional follow-up contact will not be necessary and the acreage will be currently verified as correct.
