Questions and instructions
Literal question
Area Planted (in hectare)
Interviewer instructions
Record in hectare and in four decimal places the area planted to the harvested crop. If the respondent cannot give at once the required area, explain to him that the figure being asked for is only the area planted to corn. If he still finds difficulty in giving the required answer, resort to deeper probing by asking questions on farm activities paid on per-hectare basis. As a last resort, ask for the quantity of seeds and the planting method used and estimate the area accordingly. This estimation technique, however, can be done only if the CDC has an idea of the average seeding rate. Try to confirm from the respondent if he finds the estimated area within acceptable range.
