SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Residue and Biomass Field
Survey.
OMB Control Number: 0535—0251.
Type of Request: Intent to Seek
Approval to Revise and Extend an
Information Collection for 3 years.
Abstract: The primary objectives of
the National Agricultural Statistics
Service are to prepare and issue State
and national estimates of crop
production, livestock production,
economic statistics, and environmental
statistics related to agriculture and to
conduct the Census of Agriculture and
its follow-on surveys. This project is
conducted as a cooperative effort with
USDA’s Agricultural Research Service
(ARS).
The Residue and Biomass Field
Survey will use as a sampling universe,
fields in the South Fork watershed in
central Iowa (Buckeye, IA). This study
will investigate the effect crop residue
removal has on soil and water quality.
Measurements of crop residues will be
compared with remotely sensed data to
measure crop residue cover and soil
tillage intensity for the entire watershed.
The survey will be conducted in several
phases. The farm operators will only be
involved in three parts of the complete
survey process. After obtaining the
operators’ permission, field enumerators
will return several times during the
growing season to measure and collect
samples from the target areas. The farm
operators will be contacted two other
times to collect some additional data
relating to cropping practices performed
during the growing season.
Authority: These data will be
collected under the authority of 7 U.S.C.
2204(a). Individually identifiable data
