Survey Instructions

	All surveys use similar phrases and terms such as asset and need.
	We have chosen to use the term ÒassetÓ to mean resources or things that contribute in a positive way to our region.
	We hesitate to give many examples for fear of artificially directing responses toward provided examples.
	The WCROC, UMM, prairie potholes, brisk weather, Big Stone Lake all might be considered assets by respondents.

Survey Instructions

	After responding to the relevant questions about the first asset you can identify, either click the button to provide similar information about another asset or, if finished, click the ÒDone Entering AssetsÓ button to move to the next part of the survey.
	Up to ten assets can be provided by a responder.
	You will then provide information on assets that are lacking or insufficient in this region.
