Short Statement: Program changes that have occurred since the previous approval include the discontinuation of the Stocks and Price survey for potatoes and the Potato Buyers survey. The potato prices are now collected from farmers on the Potato Grower Inquiry (0535-0002) instead of from the processors and buyers. The Potato Stocks Only survey has been changed from seven months to four months and the on-farm and off-farm surveys have been combined into one sample. The rest of the changes are adjustments to the sample sizes due to changes in the population.
