Dear Dr. Fixler and Ms. Burrell,
Thank you for your letter of continued support of NASS surveys. The List Frame program
combined with the Census of Agriculture are essential for all NASS surveys. They provide us
with a population that can be efficiently targeted to obtain the most accurate agricultural data
possible in a very short time period, while minimizing respondent burden.
We will keep you informed of any modifications.
Regards,
