The Department of Agriculture publishes prices received by Farmers for hay. This information is used to compute price indexes, parity prices, and farm income, and is needed to accurately estimate prices received by farmers. 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 in combination with similar reports from other producers. Response is voluntary.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB control number is 0535-0003. The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 20 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

A return envelope requiring no stamp is enclosed. A follow-up phone survey will be conducted for those questionnaires not received by mail. Thank you for your cooperation.
