NASS is requesting a non-substantive change to the Minnesota Best Management Practices Survey. Due to unavoidable delays, the survey has been rescheduled for spring 2024. To align with the new timeframe, NASS proposes shifting the reference year to 2023. This change would ensure data collection reflects the most current practices and avoid potential confusion. The questionnaire 'Minnesota Best Management Practices Survey - 2022 Enumerated September 2023' will be used but with the revised 2023 reference period.
