INTRODUCTION
[Introduce yourself, and ask for the operator.]
The National Agricultural Statistics Service is collecting information on land management and conservation practices. The in
information
collected will be used by the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to assess the environmental benefits associated with the
implementation and installation of conservation practices.
We need your help to make the information as accurate as possible. All cconservation
onservation practices that are in place should be reportedreported
whether they were installed as part of a Federal or State Cost
Cost–Share program, an industry or non-profit
profit program, or by you (the operator)
with no outside support. We encourage you to refer to your farm records during the interview.
The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. In accordance with the Confidential Information Prote
Protection
provisions of Title V, Subtitle A, Public Law 107–347
7 and other applicable Federal laws, your responses will be kept confidential and will
not be disclosed in identifiable form to anyone other than employees or agents. By law, every employee and agent has taken an oath and
is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both if he or she willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you or your operation. Response is
voluntary.

Determine the Area of Interest
To focus the respondent on the area of interest, the location must be identified as follows.
1. Selected field
•
•
For purposes of this survey, the actual field where the sample point is located must be identified. This location
is referred to as the selected field.
The survey collects information about conservation practices, cropping history and management practices
being undertaken in the selected field.
2. Conservation practices associated with the field.
•
•
Sometimes conservation practices are not actually located in the selected field but are adjacent to or
adjoining the field (such as a wind break or filter strip). These practices should also be captured during the
survey.
For CEAP purposes, this area is referred to as the conservation area.
During this interview, the questions will be about the SELECTED FIELD and/or the associated
CONSERVATION AREA.
