During the summer and fall of 1998, an extension faculty member in each state was asked to take the lead in identifying colleagues from within their land grant university and state agency staff with the most appropriate expertise on animal confinement policy and to work with these experts to develop a state response to a detailed questionnaire about the current status of animal waste and related animal feeding operation regulations in their state.
The survey instrument was designed and administered by the Animal Confinement Policy National Task Force, representing land grant agricultural economists from a dozen universities and chaired by Mark Edelman, Iowa State University. The project was organized through the National Public Policy Education Committee. The Task Force initiative has been funded by grants from the Farm Foundation, CSREES-USDA, and the extension services of the following Land Grant universities:
| Colorado State University | University of Missouri |
| Purdue University | University of Nebraska |
| Iowa State University | North Dakota State University |
| Kansas State University | Clemson University |
| Michigan State University | South Dakota State University |
| The Ohio State University | University of Wisconsin |
Respondents conferred with personnel at their state regulatory agencies and with colleagues in other disciplines in determining the appropriate answers to questions on the survey instrument. Responses for some states are being compiled by the National Center for Agricultural Law Research and Information at the University of Arkansas.
