The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. Your response will be kept confidential and any person who willfully discloses ANY
identifiable information about you or your operation is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both. This survey is conducted in accordance with the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2018, Title III of Pub. L. No. 115-435, codified in 44 U.S.C. Ch. 35 and other applicable Federal laws.

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB number is 0535-0037. The time required to complete this information collection is
estimated to average 20 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the
data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.

Instructions:
· Report for all land operated, including land rented from others, in Texas.
· Report for all seasons (winter, spring, summer, and fall) during 2021.
· Fresh Market and Processing Descriptions:
o Processing refers to processes that alter the general state of the commodity, such as canning, cooking, freezing,
dehydration, milling, grinding, pasteurization, pickling, or juicing. The Processing Price should be the total dollars
received or average price per unit sold and should reflect all payments to growers plus the costs of materials and
services provided by processors to get the raw commodity to the plant receiving door.
o Fresh market refers to utilized production that is not processed and includes fresh cut. The Fresh Market Price should
be the total dollars received or average price per unit sold and should reflect an F.O.B. (Freight on Board) shipping point
price, or equivalent, for all grades and qualities sold for fresh market. The F.O.B. shipping point is a point of first sale.
Equivalent points of first sale include farm, roadside, farmer's market, grower auction, and U-pick sales. Adjust sales at
wholesale terminal markets for freight, brokerage, and commission charge paid by the grower.
