Interviewer instructions

Ask the respondent for total amount of land he and other household members own. Write the quantity as well as the unit code (if the answer is “2 acres”, you should write 2 in the first box and the unit code for acres, 1, in the second box. Also ask for the total current value of all the land - how much would the respondent get if he sold all of it today? Make sure the respondent does not include the value of any dwellings on the land. The value of trees on the land should be included, even though in some cases they may be sold separately.
