Short Statement: NASS has cut out the forecast surveys (asparagus, onions, and strawberries) and the end of the season strawberry and onion surveys due to the post census reviews. In addition several commodities have been removed from the remaining questionnaires. Strawberries have been moved to the Fruit and Nut docket (0535-0039) and sweet potatoes have been moved from the Field Crop docket (0535-0002) to this docket. Asparagus and onion data is still being collected it has just been combined into the End of Season questionnaire instead of being collected in a standalone questionnaire. The Chili pepper, processor survey was dropped from the cooperative program with New Mexico.
