Abstract: NASS is requesting a change to the March and June sugarcane questionnaires based on discussions with industry. The prices paid to growers questions for the most recent crop will now be asked in June instead of March to better capture end of season sales. No changes are being made to the methodology or sampling for the surveys and there will be no net change in respondent burden.
