The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is asking for your help in completing the 2020 Grape and Almond Acreage Survey, in cooperation with corresponding industries. Growers would normally be contacted in person to update their Acreage data, however NASS understands that personal contacts are not advisable at this time. Instead, we have the following options to update your Acreage safely and efficiently. You can:


1) Return your updates in the Business Reply envelope provided.

2) FAX to 1-855-270-2722.

3) E-mail to [email protected]

4) Call Kelly Albelo at 1-916-738-6606.




If the enclosed parcel records are not a convenient way to update your Acreage, we will gladly accept electronic files of planting records in any format. You may e-mail files to the above address. Please review the enclosed parcels and make updates as needed. Newly planted, pulled or abandoned acres should be noted by location on each parcel. Record any new or additional parcels on the blue parcel record.


We look forward to your response, and your assistance in capturing a complete picture of Grape and Almond Acreage in California. All responses will be summarized and available online and by mail in April 2021.



Your response is requested by November 16, 2020.

California Grape and Almond Acreage Survey --- Frequently Asked Questions


  • What is the plant system notation?

The plant system refers to the way trees or vines are planted relative to each other. Most orchards and vineyards 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.
