A new chemical use survey is added, due to a cooperative agreement with the State of Minnesota. The pandemic caused a change in surveys conducted in 2020 and 2021 as well as the modes of data collection. Several changes have been made to the ARMS 2 Chemical Use and ARMS 3 Economic questionnaires and the Fruit Chemical Use survey. Some adjustments to burden were made due to the use of publicity materials.
