This substantive change request affects how data are collected for peanut prices paid for seed. The Peanut Prices Surveys provide a detailed picture of the peanut prices paid for both seed as well as peanut prices received by producers. These are collected by two separate surveys, with peanut seed prices being obtained from various sources, such as dealers, administrative data, and growers. NASS proposes to consolidate the two surveys into one for ease of data collection as well as provide a more reliable population for reporting peanut seed prices, since the main source of peanut seed prices in administrative data are the peanut seed growers.
