� Samples are very specific, taking into account variety, location, and age of planting
� Models are designed to produce forecast of all almond production at the state level from the sample data
� Models do not forecast production by variety. Since there is a large number of Nonpareil samples, PRO does use NP sample data to forecast this variety
