Dear Dr. Fixler and Ms. Burrell,
Thank you for the letter of support, regarding the Tenure, Ownership and Transition of
Agricultural Land (TOTAL) sent to NASS. Your detailed enumeration of the uses of the data
from the TOTAL survey provides supporting documentation for this comprehensive survey. It is
our goal to continue to work with colleagues from the Economic Research Service to provide the
best quality statistics possible.
We will keep you informed of any future modifications through Federal Register Notices.
Sincerely,

LANCE
