Attached is a list of all of our conservation terms.

Hope they are of some use.

Subject: Overall Condition Authority Terms

Hi Everyone,

We have migrated from Classic Argus to TMS. Needless to say, we have
to do a lot of data scrubbing and such. I have a lot of practical
questions that I'll be asking - so I hope you don't mind if they are
not technical issues per se.

Right now, we are trying to decide what terms to put in the
Conservation "Overall Condition" Authority table. The most obvious
terms that come to mind are good, fair, and poor, but these terms seem
rather vague. What terms have you populated this authority table with?
Are there just a couple to choose from or is your list extensive?

Thanks for your advice.

Sincerely,

Lucille Stiger
