                requests measurement services, it becomes necessary for the producer to
                provide certain information which is collected on the FSA-409,
                Measurement Service or 409 A, Measurement Service Request Register. The

                request for measurement services. Producers may request acreage or
                production measurement services.
                 Need and Use of the Information: The Farm Service Agency (FSA) will
                collect the following information that the producer is required to

                farm location, contact person, and type of service request (acreage or
                production). The collected information is used to create a record of
                measurement service requests and cost to the producer.
