National Agricultural Statistics Service

    Title: Vegetable Surveys.
    OMB Control Number: 0535-0037.
    Summary of Collection: The primary function of the National 
Agricultural Statistics (NASS) is to prepare and issue current official 
state and national estimates of crop and livestock production, prices 
and disposition. The Vegetable Surveys Program obtains basic 
agricultural statistics for fresh market and processing vegetables in 
major producing States. The vegetable program has two types of 
utilization: Some crops are processing only, some are fresh market 
only, and others are dual crops (both processing and fresh market). 
Vegetable processors are surveyed in August for acreage contracted and 
estimated yield. In late November, processors are asked for final 
acreage harvested, production, and value. The fresh market vegetable 
program consists of specialized growers who are surveyed at the 
conclusion of the growing season for estimates of crop production. 
Producers of onions, strawberries, and asparagus are surveyed in August 
to obtain forecasted acreage and production. NASS will collect 
information using surveys.
    Need and Use of the Information: NASS will collect information to 
estimate acreage intended to plant, acreage planted, acreage harvested, 
yield/production, price, and utilization for the various crops. The 
estimates provide vital statistics for growers, processors, and 
marketers to use in making production and marketing decisions.
    Description of Respondents: Farms; Business or other for-profit.
    Number of Respondents: 13,550.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually; Other (seasonally).
    Total Burden Hours: 4,655.
