estimates of crop and livestock production, prices and disposition. The 
Vegetable Surveys Program obtains basic agricultural statistics for

(both processing and fresh market). The vegetable program surveys

planted and harvested, quantity of vegetables produced, and how much of 
their crop was sold through fresh markets or for processing along with 
the correlating prices.
    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.
    Number of Respondents: 11,140.
    Frequency of Responses: Reporting: Annually; Other (seasonally).
    Total Burden Hours: 4,998.
