US fruit and berry survey for 2016 planned

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service will conduct its end of season surveys for 2016 fruit and berry production during March, according to a news release.

The survey will collect information about acres, production and prices from more than 3,000 growers in the northeastern United States.

“The information from these surveys directly impacts our regions’ fruit and berry growers more than any other survey we do,” said King Whetstone, director of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, Northeastern Regional Field Office.

In this survey, NASS asks participants to answer a variety of questions about apples, blueberries, cherries (tart), cranberries, peaches, and pears depending on the state and the version of the questionnaire. For their convenience, survey participants have the option to respond online.

NASS will compile, analyze, and publish survey results in the June 27 Noncitrus Fruit and Nuts report.
