National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: Vegetable Surveys.
OMB Control Number: 0535-0037.
Summary of Collection: The primary function of the National
Agricultural Statistics (NASS) is to prepare and issue current official
state and national estimates of crop and livestock production, prices
and disposition. The Vegetable Surveys Program obtains basic
agricultural statistics for fresh market and processing vegetables in
major producing States. The vegetable program has two types of
utilization: Some crops are processing only, some are fresh market
only, and others are dual crops (both processing and fresh market).
Vegetable processors are surveyed in August for acreage contracted and
estimated yield. In late November, processors are asked for final
acreage harvested, production, and value. The fresh market vegetable
program consists of specialized growers who are surveyed at the
conclusion of the growing season for estimates of crop production.
Producers of onions, strawberries, and asparagus are surveyed in August
to obtain forecasted acreage and production. NASS will collect
information using surveys.
Need and Use of the Information: NASS will collect information to
estimate acreage intended to plant, acreage planted, acreage harvested,
yield/production, price, and utilization for the various crops. The
estimates provide vital statistics for growers, processors, and
marketers to use in making production and marketing decisions.
Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
Number of Respondents: 13,550.
Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually; Other (seasonally).
Total Burden Hours: 4,655.
