Abstract: This is a substantive change request to modify the Objective Yield docket. In March 2019 NASS published the program changes that would be adopted following the review of the 2017 Census of Agriculture. NASS will continue to publish the other production, price, stocks, final yield, etc. data. Only some of the mid-season objective yield surveys are being impacted by this change request.
