  4. Have you changed planting or tillage practices because of using these transgenic seeds?
    Yes      No

  5. If yes, have you ...
    started using no-till?
    changed to narrow-row soybeans?
    increased your conservation tillage use?

    Other?

  6. If yes, did you change practices after buying a different planter or piece of equipment?
    Yes      No

  7. If you answered "no" to Question 3, what factors affected your decision not to change tillage or planting practices?

  8. Do you expect to change your tillage or planting practices in the future due to your use of transgenic soybeans?
