Short Statement: Due to the COVID-19 virus, several changes have taken place for the 2020 calendar year. The June Area Survey will be suspended for this year and will be conducted again in 2021 and 2022. This survey relies on face to face interviews with farmers and ranchers. Instead the data from the 2019 survey will be used to adjust for list incompleteness in 2020. Several of the surveys will have adjusted sample sizes due to this change in 2020. In Jan. 2021 some additional predator loss questions will be added to the Cattle Report and the Sheep/Goat Report due to a cooperative agreement with APHIS and several State governments.
