Dear Producer:
Enclosed is your 2017 Grape and Tree Fruit Acreage Inventory by Variety Study. Please complete the questionnaire at your earliest convenience. Your information is important. It will help identify planting trends to aid growers in making decisions about future plantings and supply. This information will also aid the industry with transportation planning, evaluating labor needs, and processing and storage requirements.
Please respond by mail or fax. Complete the survey questionnaire and mail it back in the return envelope provided or fax it to (855) 270-2721.
If we do not hear from you by February 7, 2017, we may contact you to arrange a telephone or personal interview.
The results of this survey will be available in aggregate form only, ensuring that no individual operation or producer can be identified, as required by federal law. NASS will publish the survey results in the Fall of 2017, in the Washington Vineyard or Tree Fruit Acreage Report 2017 available at www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/Washington/Publications/Fruit.
Thank you for participating and for your support of agricultural statistics and Washington State agriculture. If you have questions or concerns, please contact our office at (800) 435-5883.
Sincerely,
Christopher A. Mertz Director, Northwest Regional Field Office U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service
