Questions and instructions
Literal question
Farm Information: Total Corn Farm Area (in hectare)
Interviewer instructions
Ask the TOTAL PHYSICAL AREA of the corn farm operated by the sample household.
Enter area in four decimal places, hectare unit. If the household operates more than one parcel, get the sum of the areas of all the corn parcels and indicate it in Column 10.
The CDC should probe deeper since it may be possible that the respondent cannot recall at once the household's total corn farm area specially if it has several parcels. In such cases, questions on the number of parcels operated and the corresponding area and utilization of each may be asked.
