Abstract
The Data Quality Research Section (DQRS) of the Research and Development Division (RDD) was assigned the task of designing and testing a standardized Prices Received by Farmers Survey questionnaire to be used for all program states. A two-phase research plan was developed to create and test this standardized questionnaire. The first phase consisted of designing and pretesting the new standardized questionnaire in several states. The second phase compared the new and existing questionnaires using a supplemental sample in selected states. Data from the supplemental sample were summarized and compared to corresponding summarized data from the operational sample for these states.
