Abstract

Individual operations in NASS surveys may be contacted on numerous occasions over time. This may be particularly true with large or unique operations possibly being selected with near certainty for recurring surveys and included in samples for multiple surveys. Cooperation in any particular survey may be affected by the number and frequency of times an establishment has been selected for NASS surveys in the past. This paper examines the relationship between response on the 1998 June Crops/Stocks Survey in South Dakota and the reporting burden placed on operations by NASS in the past. This paper will examine the effects that the accumulated reporting burden associated with the number and frequency of NASS survey contacts, length of those contacts and the difficulty of the survey request have on survey cooperation. Comparisons of these burden measures made between respondents and non-respondents for the 1998 June Crops/Stocks Survey show little, if any, correlation between these burden measures and an individual operation’s willingness to cooperate.
