Intro 1	Hello, my name is _________________________. I am working with the National Agricultural Statistics Service on behalf of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. We are interested in learning more about injuries that occur on farms. We are asking farmers/ranchers for information about their operations, as well as information on injuries to youth that occurred on the farm/ranch in the last 12 months. This will take about 10 minutes.
	The information you provide will be held strictly CONFIDENTIAL. Your cooperation is VOLUNTARY, and you may refuse to answer any question. This information will be combined with other’s to help identify common patterns of injuries on farms and to develop injury prevention and health promotion programs nationwide. Would you help us by answering these questions?
	- YES [Continue on Intro 2]
	- NO
		I assure you that everything you tell us will be kept CONFIDENTIAL. Your answers are very important to us even if you did not have a youth on your farm, or did not have an injury on your farm in the last 12 months. This project will be used to identify how often injuries occur on farms, and what the common patterns are for these injuries. The information will help identify programs for preventing these injuries in the future. Your cooperation will benefit all farm/ranch families. Would you please consider helping us?
