b. ENUMERATOR INSTRUCTIONS:
Compare the region in which the field is located to the sampled region (on the label).
If these do not match, go back to your list of fields.
Go through all fields listed until you find one that matches the sampled region.
If you still don’t find a matching field, ask the operator if he has ANY fields that might fall in the sampled region.
Use the first field you find that is in the correct region. If that region is one of the original 18, enter its number for the selected field.
Otherwise, enter ‘19’ for the selected field. Be sure to correct the entries in the field number, lRA, and Region boxes above.
If the farmer does not have any such fields, either listed or not, you may proceed with the originally selected field.

ENUMERATOR NOTES:

Use this page for calculations, verification notes, and for any other notes or remarks that could NOT be used to identify the operation or operators. DO NOT write the operation name, the name of the operator, and partners’ names, social security numbers, EIN’s, addresses, phone numbers, or any other personal information on this page.

MSUES YIELD SUPPLEMENT 2018
	Name and Address Label
Please verify that you received an average yield in pounds of cotton lint in Section B, question 4. If the operator is not able to estimate yield at this time, you will need to re-contact the operator at a later date for the yield information. First, get the operator’s best estimate of what date would be best to call or return for the yield information, and put that date in the box directly below.
		Call/come back on [enter date]	/ /	for yield.

Then, copy irrigated acres from Section B, question 1a, in the space below for irrigated acres. Next compute non-irrigated acres as total cotton for lint acres (Section A, question 3) minus irrigated acres, and write these non-irrigated acres in the space for non-irrigated acres. Check the box in front of each line that has positive acres. Do not complete Respondent, Enumerator, or Date (at the bottom) at this time. Cut this page out of the questionnaire and send the rest of it to your supervisor for review. Keep this page until you obtain yield(s), then fill it out and return it to the state office.
