United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service 1997 AC97-A-29 Census of Agriculture New Hampshire State and County Data Volume 1, Geographic Area Series Part 29 Acknowledgments This is the first census of agriculture report prepared under the direction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Many people deserve recognition for their contributions to the census program. NASS pays special tribute to two million farmers and ranchers who provided the information requested. Only through their cooperation and support was it possible to collect and publish these data. Other USDA agencies and representatives from State departments of agriculture offered significant advice during the planning, data collection, and processing phases of the census. They provided invaluable assistance at the local level to farmers and ranchers completing census report forms. The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census worked cooperatively with NASS during the program transfer and transition period. Their support of activities and the use of their National Processing Center in Jeffersonville, IN provided invaluable services. Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and representatives of both public and private organizations made significant recommendations that helped establish data content. NASS appreciates the group’s strong and consistent support for census programs. NASS expresses gratitude to the press, farm magazines, radio and television stations, farm organizations, and State departments of agriculture for publicizing the census and encouraging cooperation of farmers and ranchers.

However, the 1997 Appropriations Act transferred the responsibility from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The 1997 Census of Agriculture is the first census conducted by NASS. The census of agriculture is taken to obtain agricultural statistics for each county, State, and the Nation. The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth decennial census of population. From 1840 to 1950, the agriculture census was taken as part of the decennial census. A separate mid-decade census of agriculture was conducted in 1925, 1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, a census of agriculture was taken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, Congress authorized the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and 1982 to adjust the data reference year so that it coincided with other economic censuses. This adjustment in timing established the agriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting data for years ending in 2 and 7. prior year. The census of agriculture includes each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. FARM DEFINITION The definition of a farm for census purposes was first established in 1850. It has been changed nine times since. The current definition, first used for the 1974 census, is any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the census year. The farm definition used for each U.S. territory varies. The report for each territory includes a discussion of its farm definition. COMPARABILITY OF DATA Most data are comparable between the 1997 and 1992 censuses. A few important changes for the 1997 census may affect comparability for some data. Farms with all acreage in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) are included as farms in the 1997 census tabulations. For the 1992 census, farms that had all their acreage in the CRP or WRP were not included in the census tabulations. For the 1997 census, farms were classified according to the new North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Due to NAICS, short rotation woody crops, which includes Christmas trees and maple sap gathering, are considered crop production. Emus, ostriches, and rhea are now tabulated in other poultry. In previous agriculture censuses, farms were classified by the Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC). A bridge table showing 1997 farms classified by the SIC and a table comparing 1997 NAICS structure to 1987 SIC structure are shown in Appendix E. Items removed from the 1997 census: 1. Land diverted under annual commodity adjustment programs 2. Commodity Credit Corporation loans for honey and rye Dollar values for expenses and agricultural product sales are expressed in current dollars and are not adjusted for inflation or deflation. In general, data for censuses since 1974 are not fully comparable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses due to changes in the farm definition. INTRODUCTION VII CENSUS USES The census of agriculture is the leading source of statistics about the Nation’s agricultural production and the only source of consistent, comparable data at the county, State, and national levels. Census statistics are used by Congress to develop and change farm programs, study historical trends, assess current conditions, and plan for the future. Many national and State programs use census data to design and allocate funding for extension service projects, agricultural research, soil conservation programs, and land-grant colleges and universities. Private industry uses census statistics to provide a more effective production and distribution system for the agricultural community. AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED The census of agriculture is required by law under the ‘‘Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,’’ Public Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, Section 2204g). The law directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a census of agriculture in 1998 and in every fifth year after, covering the 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service REFERENCE PERIODS Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment are measured as of December 31, of the census year. Crop and livestock production, sales, expenses, income from federal farm programs, irrigation, Commodity Credit Corporation loans, Conservation Reserve and Wetlands Reserve Programs, direct sales, chemicals and fertilizer, farm-related income and hired workers are measured for the calendar year, except for a few crops (such as citrus, avocados, and olives) for which the production year overlaps the calendar year. RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the United States Code, no data are published that would disclose the operations of an individual farm. However, the number of farms reporting an item is not considered a release of confidential information and is provided even though other information may be withheld. SPECIAL EFFORTS FOR MINORITIES AND AMERICAN INDIANS To improve coverage of minority farm operators, NASS mailed out over 3,000 letters and postcards to farmers and ranchers asking if they knew any farm operators in their area who might be missed or were missed in previous agricultural censuses. In addition, NASS State offices contacted and visited local farm organizations, especially those representing women and minority farm operators. Postcards were provided for their members to complete and mail in, so they would be included in the 1997 Census of Agriculture. In previous censuses, the census counted one farm operator for each American Indian reservation. For the 1997 census, the goal was to establish an accurate count of the number of American Indian farm operators. Along with the census report form, an additional form was delivered to each reservation asking for the number of American Indians who operated a farm or ranch on the reservation. TABLES Chapter 1. State tables 1 through 45 show detailed Statelevel data usually accompanied by historical data for one or more past censuses. State tables 46 through 52 show 1997 State-level data cross-tabulated by several categories. Chapter 2. County tables 1 through 17 include general data for all counties. The counties are listed in alphabetical order in the column headings. County tables 18 through 39 only show counties reporting a data item. Counties not reporting an item are not listed under the item heading. Counties with a limited number of farms reporting an item have their data combined and presented as part of ‘‘All other counties.’’ Appendix B. Table A shows the number of American Indian farm operators counted individually as well as those counted collectively on the reservations’ supplemental reports at the State and county level. Table B shows selected data for American Indian farm operators and the percent these data contributed to the State total. Appendix C. Table A quantifies the effect of the nonresponse estimation procedure on selected census data items. Table B provides the generalized reliability estimates of the estimated number of farms in a county that reported complete count and sample count items. Table C presents the percent relative standard error of selected State data items for all farms, and table D presents the percent relative standard error of selected State data items for all farms with sales of $10,000 or more. Table E presents the standard error for percent change in State totals from 1992 to 1997. Table F presents the percent relative standard error for State and county totals for selected data items. Table G displays adjustments to the census counts due to farms undercounted or overcounted in the census. Coverage adjusted counts are shown for total farms by demographic characteristics, land in farms, and total value of sales. Appendix E. Table A provides 1997 census State-level data tabulated by SIC and table B is a conversion table that assists the data user when making comparisons of establishment data between classification systems. VIII INTRODUCTION SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM TABULATIONS Special studies, such as the 1998 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey and the 1998 Census of Horticultural Specialties, are part of the census program. These special studies are for reference year 1998. Custom-designed tabulations can be developed to individual user specifications on a cost-reimbursable basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should be directed to the Director, Census Division, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Room 436 Iverson Mall, 3737 Branch Avenue, Temple Hills, MD 20748-1405; by phone on 1-800-5233215; or by e-mail at nass@nass.usda.gov.

General Explanation DATA COLLECTION Method of Enumeration All agriculture censuses beginning with the 1969 census have primarily used mailout/mailback data collection for each State. Direct enumeration methods were used for the agriculture censuses in Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. Puerto Rico used mail as the primary contact method, but relied heavily on telephone and personal interviews and an area frame survey for followup activity. The report for each territory includes a discussion of its method of enumeration. Mail List The mail list for the 1997 census was comprised of individuals, businesses, and organizations that could be identified as associated with agriculture. The list was assembled from previous census records, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) mail registers, and other authorized sources. In an attempt to maximize the coverage of active farm operators, names and addresses were obtained from State and Federal agencies, trade associations, and similar organizations. The variety of list sources utilized helped insure representation of specialized interests such as nurseries and greenhouses; poultry, fish, and livestock farms; cattle feedlot operations; maple syrup producers; and Christmas tree growers. Lists of companies having one or more establishments/locations producing agricultural products were obtained from the 1992 census and updated using information from the Standard Statistical Establishment List maintained by the Bureau of the Census. Exhaustive record linkage, unduplication, and mathematical modeling yielded an initial mail list of 3.31 million names and addresses which had a substantial probability of being farm operations. To refine these 3.31 million names even further, a screening operation was conducted prior to mailout which identified about 125,570 names as nonfarms. Finally, NASS’s State Statistical Offices (SSOs) added approximately 13,000 names which brought the final mail list to approximately 3.2 million. the nonsample form plus additional questions on commercial fertilizer, chemicals, production expenses, machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, income from farm-related sources, and hired workers. The additional information collected on the sample forms provided a good basis for making estimates of these items for all farms. There were 11 regional versions of the nonsample form and 13 regional versions of the sample form with the prelisted crops varying by region. Appendix D contains copies of the sample form and the information sheet. The sample form was mailed to approximately 814,000 addresses on the mail list, including 1) all those expected to be large (based on expected sales or acreage), 2) all farms operated by multi-establishment companies or nonprofit organizations, 3) all those in Alaska, Hawaii, and Rhode Island, 4) those in a county that had less than 100 farms in 1992, and 5) a sample of other addressees. The nonsample form was mailed to the remaining 2.37 million addressees. Further discussion of the criteria used to determine which form was mailed to an addressee is provided in the Census Sample Design section of appendix C. Data Collection Outreach/Promotional Efforts Promotional and outreach programs were primarily handled by the NASS State Statistical Offices (SSOs) rather than from the NASS headquarters; similar programs in past censuses were conducted from a central, national-level office. The Census Division of NASS coordinated the overall effort through the national headquarters of the various USDA agencies and prepared many materials that the SSOs could customize to meet their specific requirements. Information kits containing a mixture of census materials such as brochures, report forms, fact sheets, press releases, answers to frequently asked questions, posters, print and radio/television advertisements, and various other items were distributed, as appropriate, to many public and private groups. Also included in these information kits was the 1997 Census of Agriculture Report Form Guide which described and defined various items in greater detail than was available in the instructions that accompanied each report form. The most common recipients of the information kits were county service centers, extension offices, farm-supply retail stores and cooperatives, Farm Service Agency and Natural APPENDIX A A-1 Report Forms In 1997, two report forms were used—a sample form and a nonsample form (which helped minimize respondent burden). The sample form contained all questions asked on 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Resources Conservation Service offices, State and local farmer organizations, commodity groups, State departments of agriculture, commissioners of agriculture, governors, and vocational agriculture instructors. Kits were distributed by mail and through personal visits by field enumerators and SSO staff. SSOs worked with the commissioners of agriculture, governors, and other officials to obtain written proclamations and verbal support of the census in their speeches and public appearances. To improve the coverage of minorities, SSOs made special promotional efforts through direct contacts with 1890 land-grant universities, Native American tribal leaders, limited resource farm organizations, and women’s associations. DATA CHANGES Prior to each agriculture census, the content of the census report forms and publication tables is reviewed to eliminate items no longer needed, identify necessary new items, and modify existing items to better describe the agricultural situation in the Nation. Data requests are solicited from farm organizations, land-grant colleges and universities, State and Federal agencies, State departments of agriculture, agribusinesses, the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and others. Each user is asked to identify and justify its specific data needs. The following paragraphs explain the major changes made to the 1997 census data. In 1992, farms that had all their acreage in the Conservation Reserve Program were not included in the data for all farms. For the 1997 census, these farms are included in the data for all farms. For the 1997 census, data for land under federal acreage reduction programs and Commodity Credit Corporation loans for honey and rye were not included, because these items were eliminated by the 1996 Farm Bill. The following data inquiries were added: 1) Cut Christmas trees harvested, 2) Short rotation woody crops, 3) Maple trees tapped, and 4) Number of American Indian operators on reservations (obtained by an additional form mailed to each reservation). INITIAL MAILING Most report forms were mailed in late December 1997 to individuals, businesses, and organizations on the mail list. Approximately 34,000 report forms were not mailed but given directly to the SSOs for data collection to ease respondent burden for operators selected to participate in other NASS surveys. The mail packages included a report form with a cover letter, an information sheet containing instructions for completing the form, and a postage-paid return envelope. Special instructions were included with report forms sent to grazing associations, American Indian reservations, Christmas tree growers, maple producers, and firms with multiple farm or ranch operations. For the first time in 1997, the census counted the number of individual American Indian farmers or ranchers that operated within the boundaries of American Indian reservations. Each reservation was asked to complete an additional one-page report form (called an R1 form, see appendix D) that asked for the number of American Indians within their borders who had an agricultural operation that met the $1,000 sales definition of a farm. It was not required that these operators be individually listed by name to be counted. DATA PROCESSING Selected report forms, including those with attached correspondence, remarks, or no positive data on the front page, were reviewed prior to data keying. The data from each report form were subjected to a detailed item-by-item computer edit. The edit performed comprehensive checks for consistency and reasonableness, corrected erroneous or inconsistent data, supplied missing data based on similar farms within the same county, and assigned farm classification codes necessary for tabulating the data. Substantial computer-generated changes to the data were clerically reviewed and verified. In the computer edit, farms with sales, acreage, or commodities exceeding specified levels were tested for historical comparability. Key items, such as acreage and sales, were compared for substantial changes between 1992 and 1997. Sizeable historical differences were resolved or verified by telephone. Prior to publication, tabulated totals for each State were reviewed by State statisticians to identify inconsistencies and potential coverage problems. Comparisons were made with previous census data, official NASS Agricultural Statistics Board numbers, and other available check data. Followup Procedures A thank you/reminder card was mailed to everyone on the mail list in early January 1998. In mid-February and again in late March, a followup letter, census report form, and information sheet were sent to each nonrespondent. Telephone calling began in the State offices in early February. Calls were made to 1992 census nonrespondents who had not yet responded to the 1997 Census of Agriculture. In early March, telephone calls were made to operators of large farms who had not responded. In addition, from early April until late May, telephone calls were made to all remaining nonrespondents to encourage them to respond to the census and to ensure a minimum 75 percent response rate in each county in the U.S. A nonresponse adjustment procedure was used to represent the final nonrespondent farms in the census results. A description of this procedure is included in the Census Estimation section of appendix C. A-2 APPENDIX A DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS The following definitions and explanations provide a detailed description of specific terms and phrases used in this publication. Items in the publication tables which carry 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service the note ‘‘See text’’ also are explained. For an exact wording of the questions on the 1997 census report forms and the information sheet which accompanied these forms, see appendix D. Most definitions of terms are the same as those used in earlier censuses. The more important exceptions are noted here. Abnormal farms. This category includes institutional, experimental, and research farms. Research farms include farms operated by private companies as well as those operated by universities, colleges, and government organizations for the purpose of expanding agricultural knowledge. Acres and quantity harvested. Crops were reported in whole acres, except for the following crops which were reported in 10ths of acres: potatoes, sweetpotatoes, tobacco, fruit and nut crops including land in orchards, berries, vegetables, nursery and greenhouse crops in the open, and in Hawaii, taro, ginger root, and lotus root. Totals for crops reported in 10ths of acres were rounded to whole acres at the aggregate level during the tabulation process. Ginseng was reported in 10ths of acres for Wisconsin and Michigan, and it is published in 10ths of acres for all States. Nursery and greenhouse crops grown under glass or other protection were reported in square feet and are published in square feet. If two or more crops were harvested from the same land during the year, the acres were counted for each crop. Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested generally exceeded the acres of cropland harvested. An exception to this procedure was hay crops. When more than one cutting of hay was taken from the same acres, the acres were counted only once but the quantity harvested included all cuttings. Hay cut for both dry hay and green chop or silage was to be reported for each applicable crop. For interplanted crops or ‘‘skip-row’’ crops, acres were to be reported according to the portion of the field occupied by each crop. If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acres were not to be reported as harvested. These acres were to be reported in the ‘‘land use’’ section under the appropriate cropland items—cropland used only for pasture or grazing, cropland used for cover crops, cropland on which all crops failed, cropland in cultivated summer fallow, or cropland idle. Corn and sorghum, hogged or grazed, were to be reported as ‘‘cropland harvested’’ and not as ‘‘cropland used only for pasture or grazing.’’ Crop residue left in fields and later hogged or grazed was not reported as cropland pasture. Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as vegetables; nursery and greenhouse crops; corn cut for dry fodder, hogged or grazed; and sorghum, hogged or grazed. Acres of land in bearing and nonbearing fruit orchards, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees were to be reported as harvested cropland regardless of whether the 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service crop was harvested or failed. However, abandoned orchards were to be reported as cropland idle, not as harvested cropland, and the individual abandoned orchard crop acres were not to be reported. Age of operator. See Operator characteristics; Farms by age and principal occupation of operator. Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer. For each type of agricultural chemical, the acres treated were to be reported only once even if the acres were fertilized or treated more than once. If multipurpose chemicals were used, the acres treated for each purpose were to be reported. American Indian farm operators, total. This item, as it appears in appendix B, is new for the 1997 census. Data represent the number of American Indian farm operators reporting individually by replying to their own census report form and those who did not report individually but were counted on a supplemental report form. Agricultural production for these operators was collected on their respective reservation report. This ‘‘total’’ in appendix B is not the same as the ‘‘total’’ in county table 37. The ‘‘total’’ in county table 37 equals the number of operators in appendix B reported individually plus the number of reservations from State table 19. Bedding/garden plants. In 1992, this category was called ‘‘bedding plants.’’ Bedding plants are referred as ‘‘bedding/garden plants’’ for 1997. This is a wording change; all data are comparable. Black and other races. This category includes Blacks, American Indians (Native Americans), Asian or Pacific Islanders, and all other racial groups other than White. Canola and other rapeseed. Canola and other rapeseed is a total of canola (edible rapeseed) and industrial rapeseed. Chemicals. See Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer; total farm production expenses-Agricultural chemicals. Cherries. Cherries were reported as sweet cherries, tart cherries, or cherries depending on the regional form the respondent completed. On regional forms for States where cherries were an important fruit crop, sweet cherries and tart cherries were listed separately. On the other regional forms, cherries were prelisted or could be written in. For publication purposes, total cherries could be shown along with the individual breakdown of sweet cherries, tart cherries, or nonspecified cherries. Nonspecified cherries were used to account for cherries where the sweet and tart breakdown was not asked or where respondents wrote in cherries but did not specify or code the kind of cherry. All the individual cherry items may not be shown for a given State. APPENDIX A A-3 Chickens 3 months old or older. See Layers and pullets 13 weeks old and older. Citrus enumeration. Census reports for selected citrus caretakers in Arizona, Florida, and Texas were obtained by direct enumeration. A citrus caretaker is an organization or person caring for or managing citrus groves for others. This special enumeration has been used since 1969 because of the difficulty in identifying and enumerating absentee grove owners who often do not know the information that is needed to adequately complete the census report form. Each citrus caretaker was enumerated as a farm operator and requested to complete one report form for all groves cared for and to furnish a list of grove owners’ names, addresses, and acres of citrus. The names on the lists were matched to completed grove owners’ report forms to eliminate duplication. The caretaker also was requested to inform the grove owner that he/she had already reported for the citrus under his/her care and that the grove owner was not to report the citrus again. In the 1997 census, 16 caretakers in Arizona reported 120 grove owners having 19,100 acres of citrus; 75 caretakers in Florida reported 1,950 grove owners having 142,000 acres of citrus; and 10 caretakers in Texas reported 330 grove owners having 13,000 acres of citrus. Coffee (parchment). In Hawaii, coffee could be reported in pounds parchment or pounds cherry. Colonies of bees and honey. Bee and honey production was enumerated and tabulated in the county in which the home farm was located even though hives are often moved from farm to farm over a wide geographic area. Commodity Credit Corporation loans. This category includes loans for corn, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, sunflower seed, flaxseed, safflower, canola, other rapeseed, mustard seed, peanuts, rice, and tobacco. Honey and rye were removed for 1997 due to their exclusion from the 1996 farm bill. Conservation Reserve Programs or Wetlands Reserve Programs. See Cropland in the Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP) or Wetlands Reserve Programs (WRP). Crop units of measure-field crops. The regional report forms allowed the operator to report the quantity of field crops harvested in a unit of measure commonly used in the region. When the operator reported in units different than the unit of measure published, the quantity harvested was converted to the published unit of measure. Crop units of measure-fruit crops. For fruit, citrus, and nut crops the operator was given a choice of reporting the units of measure in pounds, tons, boxes or bins. Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity harvested are for the calendar year 1997 except for citrus fruits, avocados, vegetables, and sugarcane for sugar in Florida; sugarcane for sugar and citrus fruits in Texas; pineapples and coffee in Hawaii; and avocados and olives in California. A-4 APPENDIX A Avocados. The data for California relate to the quantity harvested in the November 1996 through November 1997 harvest season and for Florida the April 1997 through March 1998 harvest season. Citrus fruits. The data for Florida relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1996 through July 1997 harvest season, except limes and avocados that were harvested in the April 1997 through March 1998 harvest season. The data for Texas relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1996 through May 1997 harvest season. The data for States other than Florida and Texas relate to the quantity harvested in the 1996-97 harvest season. Coffee. The data for Hawaii relate to the 1996-97 crop. Olives. The data for California relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1996 through March 1997 harvest season. Pineapples. The data for Hawaii relate to the quantity harvested in the year ending May 31, 1997. Sugarcane for sugar. The data for Florida relate to the cuttings from November 1996 through April 1997, and for Texas the cuttings from October 1996 through April 1997. Vegetables. The data for Florida relate to the crop harvested from September 1996 through August 1997. Cropland, harvested. See Harvested cropland. Cropland in the Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP) or Wetlands Reserve Programs (WRP). These categories include acres of ‘‘highly erodible’’ cropland taken out of agricultural production and planted in protective cover crops or reforested. The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 amended the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) authorized by the Food Security Act of 1985. The 1990 Act continued the CRP and put greater emphasis on preserving and upgrading water quality by establishing a WRP that provides for annual rental payments and shared costs of conservation practices through a minimum ten-year contract with the USDA. For the 1997 census, places with land enrolled in the CRP or WRP were counted as farms, given they received $1,000 or more in government payments, even if they had no sales and otherwise lacked the potential to have $1,000 or more in sales. Cropland, irrigated. See Irrigated land. Cropland, other. See Other cropland. Cropland, total. See Total cropland. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Cropland used only for pasture or grazing. This category includes land used only for pasture or grazing which could have been used for crops without additional improvement. Also included was all cropland used for rotation pasture. However, cropland which was pastured before or after crops were harvested was to be included as harvested cropland rather than cropland for pasture or grazing. Customwork income. See Farm-related income -Customwork and other agricultural services. Customwork, machine hire, and rental of machinery and equipment. See Total farm production expensesCustomwork, machine hire, and rental of machinery and equipment. Cut Christmas trees harvested. This item is new for 1997. Data are for acres of cut Christmas trees harvested and value of sales. Acres of uncut Christmas trees were reported as other nursery and greenhouse crops. Live Christmas trees sold were reported as nursery crops. Data are based on a sample of farms. For censuses since 1978, selected data were collected from only a sample of farms. These data are subject to sampling error. For 1997, the sample form was mailed to approximately 25 percent of all farms, including all large and specialized farms (based on expected sales, acres, or standard industrial classification), and all farms in Alaska, Hawaii, and Rhode Island. Sections 21 through 27 of the 1997 sample form included questions on commercial fertilizer, chemicals, production expenses, machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, income from farm-related sources. Estimates of the reliability of State totals for most items are shown in tables C and D of appendix C. Estimates of the reliability of county totals for selected items are shown in table F of appendix C. Direct sales to consumers. See Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals for human consumption. Expenses. See Total farm production expenses. Farm-related income. Income from farm-related sources consists of gross income received in 1997 before taxes and expenses from the sales of farm by-products and other sales and services closely related to the principal functions of the farm business. The data exclude income from employment or business activities which are separate from the farm business. Changes in items comprising farm-related income occurred between 1992 and 1997. Cut Christmas tree sales and maple product sales were included as farm-related income in 1992. These items are included in the appropriate crop production sales for 1997. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Customwork and other agricultural services. This income includes gross receipts received by farm operators for providing services for others such as planting, plowing, spraying, and harvesting. Income from customwork and other agricultural services is generally included in the agriculture census if it is closely related to the farming operation. However, it is excluded if it constituted a separate business or was conducted from another location. Rental of farmland. This income includes gross cash rent or share payments received from renting out farmland; payments received from the lease or sale of allotments for crops such as tobacco; and payments received for livestock pastured on a per-head, per-month, or per-pound basis. It excludes rental income from nonfarm property. Sales of forest products. This income includes gross receipts from sales of standing timber, gum for naval stores, firewood, and other forest products from the farm business. It excludes income from nonfarm timber tracts, sawmill businesses, cut Christmas trees and maple products. Other farm-related income sources. This income includes gross receipts from hunting leases, fishing fees, camping, other recreational services, patronage dividends from farm cooperatives, sales of farm by-products, and other sales and services closely related to the farm business. It excludes income from nonfarm businesses. Farms by age and principal occupation of operator. Data on age and principal occupation were requested from all operators in 1997. The principal occupation classifications used were as follows: Farming. The operator spent 50 percent or more of his/her worktime in 1997 at farming or ranching. Other. The operator spent more than 50 percent of his/her worktime in 1997 at occupations other than farming or ranching. Farms by combined government payments and market value of agricultural products sold (State table 52). This table can be compared to data by market value of agricultural products sold in State Table 50 to analyze the difference in economic size when government payments are added to value of sales. Combined sales and government payments may be a better measure of economic size of farm, because government payments coupled with sales represent all incoming resources of an operation. Farms by market value of agricultural products sold or value of sales. All farms were tabulated by size based on reported sales. The category ‘‘farms with sales of less than $1,000’’ included all farms with actual sales of less than $1,000 but having the production potential for sales of $1,000 or more, or receiving government payments of $1,000 or more. These farms normally would be expected to sell $1,000 or more of agricultural products. APPENDIX A A-5 The sales size categories used are consistent with the standard business size categories issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1982. In State table 50, data are presented for four sales size categories between $10,000 and $49,999. This provides users with bridge data under both the OMB and prior census classifications. Farms by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). For 1997, all agricultural production establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries, greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity or activities using the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and the Standard Industrial Classification System (SIC). See appendix E for an explanation of the conversion from the SIC to the NAICS. The NAICS classifies economic activities. It was jointly developed by Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The NAICS will make it possible to produce comparable industrial statistics for Mexico, Canada, and the United States. The NAICS is scheduled to go into effect for reference year 1997 in Canada and the United States and 1998 in Mexico. NAICS was developed to provide a consistent framework for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of industrial statistics used by government policy analysts, academics and researchers, the business community, and the public. It is the first industry classification system that was developed in accordance with a single principle of aggregation−that production units using similar production processes should be grouped together. Though NAICS differs from other industry classification systems, statistics compiled on NAICS are comparable with statistics compiled according to the latest revision of the United Nations’ International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC, Revision 3) for some sixty high level groupings. Following are explanations of the major classifications used in the 1997 census. and flowers. ‘‘Under cover’’ is generally defined as greenhouses, cold frames, cloth houses, and lath houses. Crops grown are removed at various stages or maturity and have annual and perennial life cycles. The nursery stock includes short rotation woody crops, such as Christmas trees, that have a growing and harvesting cycle of 10 years or less. Tobacco farming (11191). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing tobacco. Cotton farming (11192). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing cotton. Sugarcane farming (11193). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing sugarcane. Hay farming (11194). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing hay, alfalfa, clover, and/or mixed hay. All other crop farming (11199). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing crops (except oilseeds and/or grains; vegetables and/or melons; fruits and/or tree nuts; greenhouse, nursery and/or floriculture products; tobacco; cotton; sugarcane; or hay) or (2) growing a combination of crops (except a combination of oilseed(s) and grain(s)); and a combination of fruit(s) and tree nut(s) with no one crop or family of crops accounting for one-half of the establishment’s agricultural production (value of crops for market). Beef cattle ranching and farming (112111). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising cattle (including cattle for dairy herd replacements). Cattle feedlots (112112). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in feeding cattle for fattening. Dairy cattle and milk production (11212). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in milking dairy cattle. Hog and pig farming (1122). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising hogs and pigs. Activities may include breeding, farrowing, and the raising of weanling pigs, feeder pigs, or market size hogs. Poultry and egg production (1123). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in breeding, hatching, and raising poultry for meat or egg production. Sheep and goat farming (1124). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising sheep, lambs, and goats, or feeding lambs for fattening. Animal aquaculture (1125). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in the farm raising of finfish, shellfish, or any other kind of animal aquaculture. These establishments use some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as holding in captivity, regular stocking, feeding, and protecting from predators. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Oilseed and grain farming (1111). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing oilseed and/or grain crops and/or (2) producing oilseed and grain seeds. These crops have an annual life cycle and are typically grown in open fields. Vegetable and melon farming (1112). Contains establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) growing vegetables and/or melon crops; (2) producing vegetable and melon seeds; and (3) growing vegetable and/or melon bedding plants. Fruit and tree nut farming (1113). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing fruit and/or tree nut crops. These crops are generally not grown from seeds and have a perennial life cycle. Greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production (1114). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing crops of any kind under cover and/or growing nursery stock A-6 APPENDIX A Other animal production (1129). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising animals and insects (except cattle, hogs and pigs, poultry, sheep and goats, animal aquaculture) for sale or product production. These establishments are primarily engaged in one of the following: bees, horses and other equines, rabbits and other furbearing animals, and so forth, and producing products, such as honey and other bee products. Establishments primarily engaged in raising a combination of animals with no one animal or family of animals accounting for one-half of the establishment’s agricultural production (i.e., value of animals for market) are included in this industry group. Farms by size. All farms were classified into selected size groups according to the total land area in the farm. The land area of a farm is an operating unit concept and includes land owned and operated as well as land rented from others. Land rented to or assigned to a tenant was considered to be part of the tenant’s farm and not part of the owner’s. Farms by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Data for farms by SIC are provided in a bridge table in appendix E. For future censuses, farms will be classified only by the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). Farms by tenure of operator. All farms were classified by tenure of operator in 1997. The classifications used were as follows: Full owners-operated only land they owned. Part owners-operated land they owned and also land they rented from others. Tenants-operated only land they rented from others or worked on shares for others. Farms by type of organization. All farms were classified by type of organization in the 1997 census. The classifications used were as follows: Individual or family (sole proprietorship), excluding partnership and corporation. Partnership, including family partnership. Corporation, including family corporation—further subclassified into the following two categories: 1. Family held or other than family held 2. More than 10 stockholders or less than 10 stockholders Other, cooperative, estate or trust, institutional, etc. Farms by value of sales. See Farms by market value of agricultural products sold or value of sales. Farms or farms reporting. The terms ‘‘farms’’ and ‘‘farms reporting’’ in the presentation of data denote the number of farms reporting the item. For example, if there are 3,710 farms in a State and 842 of them had 28,594 cattle and calves, the data for those farms reporting cattle and calves would appear as: 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Cattle and calves. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . farms. . . . . 842 number . . . . . 28,594 Farms with sales of less than $1,000. This category includes farms with sales of less than $1,000 but having the potential for sales of $1,000 or more. It provides information on all report form items for farms that normally would be expected to sell agricultural products of $1,000 or more. Fertilizer. See Total farm production expenses--Commercial fertilizer . Fish and other aquaculture products. The raising of fish and other aquaculture products in captivity is included in the agriculture census. Production in saltwater is considered not to be in captivity and is excluded from the census. Floriculture crops. For 1997, data for floriculture crops are a total of bedding/garden plants, cut flowers and cut florist greens, foliage plants, and potted flowering plants. Government payments. This category consists of direct cash payments received by the farm operator in 1997. It includes disaster payments; transition payments from prior participation; payments from Conservation Reserve Programs, the Wetlands Reserve Programs, and other conservation programs; and all other federal farm programs under which payments were made directly to farm operators. Grain sales. Data are for the total market value of cash grains sold, including corn for grain or seed, wheat for grain, soybeans for beans, sorghum for grain or seed, oats for grain, and other grains. Grapes. Farm operators were given the option of reporting the quantity of grapes harvested in dry weight or fresh weight. For publication purposes, all quantities of grapes harvested were converted to pounds fresh weight. The conversion used was 4.20 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry weight. Greenhouse produced vegetables. In 1992, this item was referred to as ‘‘greenhouse vegetables.’’ This is only a wording change; the data are comparable. Harvested cropland. This category includes land from which crops were harvested or hay was cut, and land in orchards, citrus groves, Christmas trees, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from which two or more crops were harvested was counted only once. Land in tapped maple trees is included in woodland not pastured. Hay−alfalfa, other tame, small grain, wild, grass silage, green chop, etc. Data shown for hay represent all hay crops, including grass silage, haylage, and hay crops cut and fed green (green chop). In production data, dry tons APPENDIX A A-7 represents dry tonnage for the various hay categories and dry weight equivalents for grass silage and hay cut and fed green. The conversion used was 3 tons of green weight to 1 ton of dry weight. Hay−tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild hay. Data shown represent dry tons of hay harvested from clover, lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudangrass, and other types of legume and tame grasses. Hens and pullets. See Layers, pullets, and pullet chicks. Hens and pullets of laying age. See Layers 20 weeks old and older. Herbs−total, fresh cut, and dried. Total herbs is a total of fresh cut and dried herbs. Separate data are shown for fresh cut herbs as a vegetable crop and dried herbs as another crop. Hired farm labor. Data are for total hired farm workers, including paid family members, by number of days worked. Income. See Net cash return from agricultural sales for the farm unit. Injuries and deaths. Data are for work-related injuries and deaths of the farm operator, family members, and hired workers. Irish potatoes. See Potatoes, excluding sweetpotatoes. Irrigated land. This category includes all land watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers, flooding, furrows or ditches, and spreader dikes. Included are supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each acre was to be counted only once regardless of the number of times it was irrigated or harvested. Land area. The approximate land area of counties and States represents the total land area as determined by records and calculations as of January 1, 1997. These data are updated periodically; however, the acreages shown for 1997 are the same as in 1992. Land in farms. The acreage designated as ‘‘land in farms’’ consists primarily of agricultural land used for crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes woodland and wasteland not actually under cultivation or used for pasture or grazing, provided it was part of the farm operator’s total operation. Large acreages of woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural purposes were deleted from individual reports during the processing operations. Land in farms includes acres in the Conservation Reserve and Wetlands Reserve Programs. Land in farms is an operating unit concept and includes land owned and operated as well as land rented from others. Land used rent free was to be reported as land A-8 APPENDIX A rented from others. All grazing land, except land used under government permits on a per-head basis, was included as ‘‘land in farms’’ provided it was part of a farm or ranch. Land under the exclusive use of a grazing association was to be reported by the grazing association and included as land in farms. All land in American Indian reservations used for growing crops or grazing livestock was to be included as land in farms. Land in reservations not reported by individual American Indians or non-Native Americans was to be reported in the name of the cooperative group that used the land. In many instances, an entire American Indian reservation was reported as one farm. Land in orchards. This category includes land in bearing and nonbearing fruit trees, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, including land on which all fruit crops failed. Respondents were instructed not to report abandoned plantings and plantings of fewer than 20 total fruit, citrus, or nut trees, or grapevines. Land in two or more counties. With few exceptions, the land in each farm was tabulated as being in the operator’s principal county. The principal county was defined as the one where the largest value of agricultural products was raised or produced. It was usually the county containing all or the largest proportion of the land in the farm or viewed by the respondent as his/her principal county. For a limited number of Midwest and Western States, this procedure resulted in the allocation of more land in farms to a county than the total land area of the county. To minimize this distortion, separate reports were required for large farms identified in the 1992 census as having more than one farm unit. Other reports received showing land in more than one county were separated into two or more reports if the data would substantially affect the county totals. Land used for vegetables. Data are for the total land used for vegetable crops. The acres were to be reported only once, even though two or more harvests of a vegetable or more than one vegetable were harvested from the same acres. Landlords. Data show the number of landlords from whom the farm operator rented land, including those whose land may have been subleased by the farm operator to someone else. Layers 20 weeks old and older. This category includes layer hens in molt and other layer hens and pullets 20 weeks old and older. In the 1992 census this category was referred to as ‘‘Hens and pullets of laying age.’’ This is only a wording change; the data are comparable to 1992. Layers and pullets 13 weeks old and older. This category includes layer hens in molt and other layer hens and pullets 13 weeks old and older. In the 1992 census this category was referred to as ‘‘Chickens 3 months old or older.’’ This is only a wording change; the data are comparable to 1992. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Layers, pullets, and pullet chicks. This category includes layers, pullets, and pullet chicks of all ages. In the 1992 census, this category was referred to as ‘‘Hens and pullets.’’ This is only a wording change; the data are comparable to 1992. Macadamia nuts. In Hawaii, macadamia nuts could be reported in pounds husked, unshelled or pounds shelled. Maple trees tapped. Data are for acres of tapped maple trees (sugar bush). Quantity harvested is for number of taps from which sap was gathered. Acres of tapped maple trees are included in woodland not pastured. Market value of agricultural products sold. This category represents the gross market value before taxes and production expenses of all agricultural products sold or removed from the place in 1997 regardless of who received the payment. It includes sales by the operator as well as the value of any shares received by partners, landlords, contractors, or others associated with the operation. In addition, it includes receipts from placing commodities in the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan program in 1997. It does not include payments received for participation in other federal farm programs nor does it include income from farm-related sources such as customwork and other agricultural services, or income from nonfarm sources. The value of crops sold in 1997 does not necessarily represent the sales from crops harvested in 1997. Data may include sales from crops produced in earlier years and may exclude some crops produced in 1997 but held in storage and not sold. For commodities such as sugar beets and wool sold through a co-op which made payments in several installments, respondents were requested to report the total value received in 1997. The value of agricultural products sold was requested of all operators. If the operator failed to report this information, estimates were made based on the amount of crops harvested, livestock or poultry inventory, or number sold. Extensive estimation was required for operators growing crops or livestock under contract. Caution should be used when comparing sales in 1997 with sales reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures are expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation. Misreported or miscoded crops. In a few cases data may have been reported on the wrong line, in the wrong section, or the wrong crop code may have been assigned to a small number of write-in crops. A few of these errors may not have been identified and corrected during processing which resulted in rare cases of inaccurately tabulated data. Reports with significant acres of unusual crops for the area were examined to minimize the possibility that they were in error. Net cash return from agricultural sales for the farm unit. Net cash return is derived by subtracting total operating expenditures from the gross market value of agricultural products sold. Both gross sales and production 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service expenditures include sales and expenses of the farm operator as well as those of partners, landlords, and contractors. Therefore, the net cash return is that of the farm unit rather than the net farm income of the operator. Consequently, while the net cash return of a contractee grower could be negative, the actual return could be positive, meaning the integrator/contractor was absorbing an even larger loss on the growout operation. Oftentimes, these losses are offset by later gains from further processing. Conversely, a very high net cash return is usually shared between an integrator/contractor and a contractee grower and should not be viewed totally as a return to the contractee grower. Operating expenses used in calculating net cash return do not include depreciation or changes in inventory values. Expenses may have been understated on farms renting land from others because taxes paid by landlords are excluded, and insurance and other landlord expenses not readily known to renters may have been omitted or underestimated. For publication purposes, farms are divided into two categories: 1) Farms with net gains and 2) Farms with net losses. Farms with net gains include those whose production expenses are equal to the market value of their agricultural products sold. Nursery and greenhouse crops grown for sale. These data are summations of the individual items reported. All of the individual items may not be shown. Nursery, floriculture, vegetable and flower seed crops, sod, etc., grown in the open, irrigated. Data refer to farms reporting irrigated nursery, floriculture, vegetable and flower seeds, sod, bedding/garden plants, etc., grown in the open. Occupation. See Operator characteristics; Farms by age and principal occupation of operator. Operator. The term ‘‘operator’’ designates a person who operates a farm, either doing the work or making day-today decisions about such things as planting, harvesting, feeding, and marketing. The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner’s household, a hired manager, a tenant, a renter, or a sharecropper. If a person rents land to others or has land worked on shares by others, he/she is considered the operator only of the land which is retained for his/her own operation. For partnerships, only one partner is counted as the operator. If it is not clear which partner is in charge, then the senior or oldest active partner is considered the operator. For census purposes, the number of operators is customarily the same as the number of farms. The exception to this rule occurs in appendix B, table A. It shows the number of American Indian farm operators on reservations. Since reservations are counted as one farm in other tables, in this instance, the number of operators will exceed the number of farms. In some cases, the operator was not the APPENDIX A A-9 individual named on the address label of the report form, but another family member, a partner, or a hired manager who was actually in charge of the farm operation. Operator characteristics. All operators were asked to report age, race, sex, place of residence, principal occupation, days worked off the farm, year in which his/her operation of the farm began, and Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. If race, age, sex, and principal occupation were not reported, they were imputed based on information reported by farms with similar acreage, tenure, and value of sales. No imputations were made for nonresponse to place of residence, Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin, off-farm work, or year began operation. Operators of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin were tabulated by reported race. Operators of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. No imputation was made for those not responding to the question on Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. Operators of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin are found in all of the racial groups listed in the census and were tabulated according to the race reported. In 1992, this category was referred to as ‘‘Operators of Spanish origin.’’ Other aquaculture products. This category includes the production of aquaculture other than crawfish and finfish. Other crop sales. Data are for the total market value of all crops not having fitted into one of the prelisted sales categories. It includes crops such as maple syrup, mint for oil, peanuts, potatoes, sugar beets, sugarcane, sweetpotatoes, etc. Other cropland. This category includes cropland not harvested and not grazed which was used for cover crops or soil-improvement crops, land on which all crops failed, land in cultivated summer fallow, idle cropland, and land planted in crops which were to be harvested after the census year. Other fish. This category includes production of fish other than catfish, trout, hybrid striped bass, and crawfish. Other fruits and nuts. Data shown for other fruits and nuts relate to any fruits and nuts not having a specific code on the 1997 report form. Other grain sales. These data are for the total market value of other grains sold including dry edible beans, dry lima beans, buckwheat, canola, dry southern peas (cowpeas), emmer and spelt, flaxseed, lentils, mustard seed, dry edible peas, popcorn, proso millet, industrial rapeseed, rice, rye for grain, safflower, sunflower seed, triticale, and wild rice. Other land. This category includes land in house lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, ditches, wasteland, etc. It includes those acres in the farm operation not classified as cropland, pastureland, or woodland. A-10 APPENDIX A Other livestock and livestock products. This category includes all livestock and livestock products not having specific codes on the 1997 report form. Other nursery and greenhouse crops. Data for ‘‘Other nursery and greenhouse crops’’ include acres of uncut Christmas trees with minimum sales of $1,000. Also included are acres and sales of short rotation woody crops. Other races. This category is primarily limited to persons native to or of ancestry from Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Plums and prunes. Farm operators were given the option of reporting the quantity of plums and prunes harvested in dry weight or fresh weight. For publication purposes, all quantities of plums and prunes harvested have been converted to pounds of fresh weight. The conversion used was 3.00 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry weight. Potatoes, excluding sweetpotatoes. In 1992, this item was referred to as Irish potatoes. This is only a wording change; all data are comparable. Poultry hatched. This category includes all poultry hatched on the place during the year and placed or sold. Incubator egg capacity on December 31, 1997, is tabulated under the column heading ‘‘Inventory’’ and the number of poultry hatched and placed or sold is under the heading ‘‘Sales.’’ Production expenses. See Total farm production expenses. Pullet chicks and pullets less than 13 weeks old. This category includes all pullets and pullet chicks less than 13 weeks old. In the 1992 census, this category was referred to as ‘‘Pullet chicks and pullets under 3 months old.’’ This is only a wording change; the data are comparable to 1992. Race. See Other races; Black and other races; Operator characteristics. Rental income. See Farm-related income-Rental of farmland. Sales, total. See total sales; Market value of agricultural products sold; Farms by market value of agricultural products sold or value of sales. Size of farm. See Farms by size. Tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild hay (tons, dry). See Hay−tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild hay. Tenure. See Farms by tenure of operator. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Total cropland. This category includes land from which crops were harvested or hay was cut; land in orchards, citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses; cropland used only for pasture or grazing; land in cover crops, legumes, and soil-improvement grasses; land on which all crops failed; land in cultivated summer fallow; and idle cropland. Total farm production expenses. Includes the share of the expenditures provided by landlords, contractors, and partners in the operation of the farm business. Expenses were limited to those incurred in the operation of the farm business. Property taxes paid by landlords were excluded. Also excluded were expenditures for nonfarm activities; farm-related activities such as providing customwork for others, producing and harvesting forest products, and providing recreational services; and household expenses. In 1997, as in other recent censuses, operators producing crops, livestock, or poultry under contract often were unable or unwilling to estimate the cost of production inputs furnished by the contractors. As a consequence, extensive estimation for some expenditure items was required for contract producers. Explanations of selected production expenses are listed below. Interest. Separate data are included for interest paid on debts secured by real estate and interest paid on debts not secured by real estate. Livestock and poultry purchased. These expenses include the total amount spent by the operator, his/her landlord, and by others for all livestock and poultry bought during 1997 for production on the farm or ranch. The total includes amounts spent for cattle, calves, hogs, pigs, sheep, hatchery eggs, etc. Estimations of the value of livestock or poultry grown under contract or fed on a custom basis were to be made based on their value when they arrived on the farm or ranch. Repairs and maintenance. These expenses include all costs for the repair and upkeep of buildings, motor vehicles, and farm equipment used for the farm business. Seed cost. These expenses include the cost of all seeds, bulbs, plants and trees, or the estimated cost of these items if provided by contractors. Seed cost does not include the value of seed grown on this place. Total sales. This item represents the gross market value of all agricultural products sold before taxes and expenses in the census year including livestock, poultry, and their products, and crops, including nursery and greenhouse crops, and hay. Respondents were asked to include landlords’ and contractors’ shares. The value of commodities placed in CCC loans is included as sold. All farms were tabulated by size based on reported sales. Tractors. This item includes a new horsepower (PTO) category. In the 1992 census, respondents reported wheel tractors other than garden tractors and motor tillers as less than 40 horsepower (PTO) or 40 horsepower (PTO) or more. In the 1997 census, the 40 horsepower (PTO) category was broken into 40 to 99 horsepower (PTO) and 100 horsepower (PTO) or more. Type of farm. See Farms by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) and Farms by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). Type of organization. See Farms by type of organization. Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals for human consumption. This item represents the value of agricultural products produced and sold directly to individuals for human consumption from roadside stands, farmers’ markets, pick-your-own sites, etc. It excludes nonedible products such as nursery crops, cut flowers, wool, etc. Sales of agricultural products by vertically integrated operations through their own processing and marketing operations were excluded. APPENDIX A A-11 Agricultural chemicals. These expenses include the cost of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other pesticides, including costs of custom application. Data exclude commercial fertilizer purchased. Commercial fertilizer. The expense for commercial fertilizer is the amount spent on all forms of fertilizer including rock phosphate and gypsum. It also includes the cost of custom application. Customwork, machine hire, and rental of machinery and equipment. These expenses include costs incurred for having customwork done on the place and for renting machines to perform agricultural operations. The cost of cotton ginning is excluded. The cost of labor involved in the customwork service is included in the customwork expense. The cost of custom application of fertilizer and chemicals is included in expenditures for fertilizer and chemicals in 1997, 1992, and 1987. The cost of hired labor for operating rented or hired machinery is included as a hired farm and ranch labor expense. Feed for livestock and poultry. These expenses include the cost of all feed for livestock and poultry including grain, hay, silage, mixed feeds, concentrates, etc. Hired farm and ranch labor. These expenses include the total amount paid for farm or ranch labor including regular workers, part-time workers, and members of the operator’s family if they received payments for labor. It includes social security taxes, State taxes, unemployment tax, payment for sick leave or vacation pay, workman’s compensation, insurance premiums, and pension plans. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Value of land and buildings. Respondents were asked to report their estimate of the current market value of land and buildings owned, rented or leased from others, and rented or leased to others. Market value refers to the value the land and buildings would sell for under current market conditions. If the value of land and buildings was not reported, it was estimated using the average value of land and buildings from a similar farm in the same geographic area. Vegetables harvested for sale. The acres of vegetables harvested is the summation of the acres of individual vegetables harvested. All of the individual vegetable items may not be shown. Wheat for grain. Wheat was listed on the report form separately or in combinations by type as listed below, depending on the regional report form completed by the respondent. Wheat for grain Winter wheat for grain Spring wheat for grain Durum wheat for grain Spring wheat, other than durum, for grain For publication, wheat was shown separately or in combinations by type as listed below, depending on the State for which it was published. Wheat for grain, total Winter wheat for grain Spring wheat for grain Durum wheat for grain Other spring wheat for grain Non-specified wheat for grain The wheat by type (winter, spring, durum, and other spring) breakdown was published for States where more than one type was commonly produced; however, all the types may not be shown. Non-specified wheat was shown when a type not commonly produced in a State was reported on a report form not intended for use for that State or when reporting errors were suspected. Woodland pastured. This category includes all woodland used for pasture or grazing during the census year. Woodland or forest land pastured under a per-head grazing permit was not counted as land in farms and, therefore, was not included in woodland pastured. Woodland, total. This category includes natural or planted woodlots or timber tracts, cutover and deforested land with young growth which has or will have value for wood products, and woodland pastured. Land covered by sagebrush or mesquite was to be reported as other pastureland and rangeland or other land. Land planted for Christmas tree production was to be reported in cropland harvested, and land in tapped maple trees reported as woodland not pastured. Write-in crops. To reduce the length of the report form, only the major crops for each region were prelisted. For other crops, the respondent was asked to look at a list of crops in each section and write in the crop name and its code. For crops that had no individual code listed on the report form, the respondent was to write in the crop name and code into the appropriate ‘‘all other’’ category for that section. Write-in crops coded as ‘‘all other’’ were reviewed and assigned a specific code when possible. Crops not assigned a specific code were left in the appropriate ‘‘all other’’ category. In some cases, the reviewers were unable to determine the specific crop reported by the respondent because of incomplete or generalized crop names. To ensure proper coding, most of these respondents were telephoned. Reports for those not telephoned were changed on the basis of other reports for the area. A-12 APPENDIX A 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Appendix B. American Indian Farm Operators During the 1992 and previous censuses, American Indian farm operations on reservations were enumerated at the reservation level, generally as a single unit. In the 1997 census, the historic methodology was used in conjunction with an additional procedure to count American Indian farm operators on reservations who were not counted individually. Table A, American Indian Farm Operators: 1997, reflects the results of the methodological changes to enumerate American Indian farm and ranch operators. The table provides the total number of American Indian farm operators both on and off reservations. The "other" column provides counts of operators on reservations. The "individually reported" column provides counts of operators on or off reservations. This is the only table in the Volume 1, Geographic Area Series publication where information for total number of American Indian farm operators is available. Other than the count of operators, information for American Indian farm operators who did not report individually was collected at or aggregated to the reservation level. Consequently, other published data treat each reservation as a single farm operation. State level data are provided in Table B, State Highlights of Farms Operated by American Indians: 1997. American Indian agricultural resources and production not reported by individuals are included in their respective reservation reports. The term American Indian was used on the report form that collected the counts of on reservation operators as well as the 1997 Census of Agriculture report form. The term American Indian represents persons who also would identify themselves as Native American or Alaskan Native. Table A.

Statistical Methodology THE SCREENING PHASE AND THE MAIL LIST MODEL The 1997 Census of Agriculture featured a pre-census screening phase that surveyed selected records, by mail or telephone, for presence or absence of agricultural activity. Records selected for screening had a low probability of qualifying as farms. All records responding to the screener and reporting no agricultural activity were removed from the census mail list. Eliminating nonfarm records from the mail list reduced respondent burden and data collection costs. The screening phase included nearly 500,000 records. Records were selected for screening using one of the following criteria: 1) Records on selected agriculture specialty lists that had no other list source, 2) Records identified by a mail list model as having a low probability of being a farm. A mail list model predicted the probability that an addressee on the 1997 preliminary census mail list operated a farm. The model defined groups based on combinations of characteristics such as source(s) of the mail list record, expected value of agricultural production, and geographic location. Farm proportions were estimated for these groups by calculating the proportion of 1992 census respondent records that were farms which exhibited the characteristics defined by the group. This proportion, also called the in-scope rate, provided an estimate of the probability that an addressee in the group operated a farm. Each address record on the 1997 preliminary census mail list was assigned to a model group by matching record characteristics to model group characteristics. Records belonging to the groups with the highest farm probability were those more likely to be farms. Records with a farm probability of approximately 30 percent or less were selected for screening, along with records included on selected agriculture specialty lists as noted above. Before screening, the preliminary census mail list consisted of 3,314,790 records. There were 478,298 records selected for screening. Of these, 125,570 records were determined to be nonfarms as a result of the screening phase and were removed. These records were removed from the final census mail list. The remaining 3,189,220 records received census report forms. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service CENSUS SAMPLE DESIGN All name and address records on the final census mail list were designated to receive a 1997 Census of Agriculture report form. Two different types of census report forms, sample and nonsample, were used to collect data. Sections 1 through 20 and 28 through 32 of the sample form were identical to sections on the nonsample census form. Sample form sections 21 through 27 contained additional questions on usage of fertilizers and chemicals, farm production expenditures, value of machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, farm-related income, and hired workers. There were 11 regional versions of the nonsample form and 13 regional versions of the sample form with listings of crops varying by region. These different forms were used to reduce the response burden of the census, while providing reliable information on a large number of data items. The sample form was mailed to all mail list records in Alaska, Hawaii, and Rhode Island and to a sample of records in other States selected from the final mail list. Mail list records were selected into the sample with certainty if they (1) were expected to have large total value of agricultural products sold or large acreage, (2) were multi-unit operations (i.e., separate farms producing under one company organization), (3) were in a county with less than 100 farms in 1992, or (4) had other special characteristics. Farms with special characteristics were abnormal farms, such as institutional farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. Mail list records in counties containing 100 to 199 farms in 1992 were systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 2; records in counties containing 200 to 299 farms in 1992 were systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 4; and records in counties containing 300 or more farms in 1992 were systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 6. The remaining mail list records not chosen to receive the sample form received the nonsample census form. This differential sampling scheme was used to provide reliable data for the sample sections of the report form for all counties. EDITING DATA AND IMPUTATION FOR ITEM NONRESPONSE The census of agriculture complex edit and imputation system is an automated computerized system that performed the following functions: APPENDIX C C-1 • Ensured reasonable relationships between/among data items, values for various sizes of farms, combinations of commodities, and economic interactions. • Ensured necessary consistencies were present (there were more than 70 distinct consistency requirements). • Ensured climatic, geographic, legal, and physical constraints were met. The system performed these and similar functions for more than 900 data key codes for sample records and approximately 850 data key codes for nonsample records. For the 1997 Census of Agriculture, as in previous censuses, all reported data were keyed and then edited by computer. The edits were used to determine whether the reports met the minimum criteria to be counted as farms in the census. The complex edit and imputation system provided the basis for deciding to accept, impute (supply), delete, or alter the reported value for each data record item. Whenever possible, edit imputations, deletions, and changes were based on component or related data on the respondent’s report form. For some items, such as operator characteristics, data for that record from the previous census were used when available. Values for other missing or unacceptable reported data items were calculated based on reported quantities and known fixed price parameters. When these and similar methods were not available and values had to be supplied, the imputation process used information reported for another farm operation in a geographically adjacent area with characteristics similar to those of the farm operation with incomplete data. For example, a farm operation that reported acres of corn harvested, but did not report quantity of corn harvested, was assigned the same bushels of corn per acre harvested as that of the last nearby farm with similar characteristics that reported acceptable yields during that particular execution of the computer edit. The imputation for missing items in each section of the report form was conducted separately; thus, assigned values for one operation could come from more than one respondent. Prior to the imputation operation, a set of default values and relationships was assigned to the possible imputation variables. The relationships and values varied depending on the item being imputed. For example, different default values were assigned for several Standard Industrial Classifications and total value of sales categories when imputing hired farm labor expenses. These values and item relationships for the possible imputation variables were stored in the computer in a series of matrices. Each execution of the computer edit consisted of records from only one State sorted by reported State and county. For a given execution of the edit, the stored entries in the various matrices were retained in memory only until a succeeding record having acceptable characteristics for the same sections of the report form was processed by the C-2 APPENDIX C computer. Then the acceptable responses of the succeeding operation replaced those previously stored. When a record processed through the edit had unreported or unacceptable data, the record was assigned the last acceptable ratio or response from an operation with a similar set of characteristics. Once each execution of the computer edit for a State was completed, the possible imputation variables were reset to the default values and relationships for subsequent executions. An edit run usually consisted of 10,000 or more records. After the initial computer edit, all keyed reports not meeting the census farm definition were reviewed to ensure that the data had been keyed correctly. Edit referrals were generated for 17 percent of the reports included as farms; they were reviewed for keying accuracy and to ensure that the computer edit actions were correct. If the results of the computer edit were not acceptable, corrections were made and the record re-edited. CENSUS ESTIMATION The 1997 Census of Agriculture used two types of statistical estimation procedures to account for whole farm nonresponse and sample data collection. The procedures were necessary because some farm operators did not respond to the census despite numerous attempts to contact them, and estimates for certain data items were based on a sample of farm operators rather than a full enumeration. Whole Farm Nonresponse Estimation Whole farm nonresponse to the census occurred when a response was never received for a record. If the record was a large farm, as defined by value of production or acreage, or a unique farm operation, intensive telephone or personal followup was conducted during census processing to obtain a response. If these attempts failed, either the NASS survey database, the census historic database, or other more current sources were used to impute data for the record. During mail list development, the State Statistical Offices (SSOs), in an effort to reduce respondent burden, identified records that participated in multiple NASS surveys and/or situations where there were special reporting relationships between an enumerator and a respondent. These records were referred to as tagged records. The SSOs had full responsibility for the data collection for these records, including imputation of data for the record if a response was not obtainable. Whole farm nonresponse that occurred within the remaining universe of records was accounted for by a statistical weighting procedure. The weights of the responding farms were adjusted to account for farms that did not respond. The information needed for this process was obtained from the 1997 Nonresponse Survey. The SSOs conducted the nonresponse survey using computer-assisted telephone interviewing (Blaise-CATI) or personal enumeration when telephone contact was not possible. Alaska and Rhode 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Island were not eligible for the survey because all nonrespondents were subject to extensive followup. In these cases, data were collected by telephone or other methods. The nonresponse survey collected information from a sample of census nonrespondents to determine farm status and estimate the proportion of farms in the nonresponse universe. The information was then used to estimate the number of nonresponding farm operations by State and county. The 1997 Nonresponse Survey consisted of a stratified systematic sample of the nonresponse records within each State. The sample was selected near the end of the census follow-up operations. Five strata were defined to be homogeneous on probability of farm status and were based on screener status, total value produced, and list source(s) of the mail list record. Based on survey results, estimates of the proportion of census nonrespondents operating farms were made for each stratum in the State. The estimates were applied to the total number of census nonrespondents in that stratum, providing a State estimate of the number of census nonrespondents that operated farms. The number of census nonrespondents that operated farms was then derived for each county by stratum. This estimation procedure assumed that the distribution of farms in a stratum by county was the same for census nonrespondents as for census respondents. Within each stratum in a county, a noninteger nonresponse weight was calculated and assigned to each eligible respondent farm record. Census respondent farms that were designated as large farms or tagged records or as farms that exhibited ‘‘rare’’ commodities were ineligible to represent nonrespondent farms and were excluded from the nonresponse weighting procedure. These records were assigned nonresponse weights of 1.0. The noninteger nonresponse weight is the ratio of the sum of the estimated number of nonrespondent farms from the nonresponse survey and the number of eligible census respondent farms, divided by the number of eligible census respondent farms. Stratum controls were established to ensure that this weight never exceeded 2.0. For the published tabulations of the complete count items, the noninteger nonresponse weight was randomly rounded to an integer weight of either 1 or 2 for each record. For the sample count items, the noninteger nonresponse weight was used in the calculation of the final sample weight. Table A quantifies the effect of the nonresponse estimation procedure on selected census data items. The percentages in this table are percents of the census values contributed by nonresponse estimation. These indicate the potential for bias in published figures resulting from nonresponse to the census. The estimates provided in this table do not reflect the effect of item nonresponse to individual census data items. The effect of this item nonresponse is discussed in the ‘‘Census Nonsampling Error’’ section. 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Sample Estimation Sample data estimation determined the population totals that would have resulted from a complete census for the items in sections 21 through 27 of the sample form. The estimates were obtained from a weighting procedure that assigned a weight to each respondent record containing sample items. For any given county, a sample item total was estimated by multiplying the data items for each farm in the county by the corresponding sample weight and summing over all sample records. Each respondent sample farm was assigned a sample weight for use in producing estimates for all sample items. For example, if the weight given to a sample farm had the value 6, all sample data items reported by that farm were multiplied by 6. The noninteger sample weight is calculated for each respondent sample farm by multiplying the noninteger nonrespondent weight by the sampling factor. For published tabulations of the sample count items, the noninteger sample weight was randomly rounded to an integer weight for each record. For certainty farms, the sampling factor equals 1 so the sample weight is just equal to the nonresponse weight. Sampling factor calculation for noncertainty farms is described below. Within a county, the weighting procedure for non-certainty farms was performed in three steps using three variables. The first variable contained eight 1997 total value of agricultural production (TVP) groups. The second and third variables, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code and farm acreage, contained two groups. The three sets of groups were: TVP $1 to $999 $1,000 to $2,499 $2,500 to $4,999 $5,000 to $9,999 $10,000 to $24,999 $25,000 to $49,999 $50,000 to $99,999 $100,000 or more SIC 01, 08 All crops 02 All livestock Acres 1 to 69 70 or more The first step in the estimation procedure classified the sample records into 32 mutually exclusive initial strata formed by the three variable groups. The total and sample farm counts were expanded to account for nonresponse. Each cell containing sample farm records was assigned an initial sample factor equal to the ratio of the total farm count to the sample farm count. This factor was approximately equal to the inverse of the probability of selecting a farm for the census sample. The second step in the estimation procedure combined, when necessary, the 32 initial strata to increase the reliability of the weighting procedure. Any stratum that contained less than 10 sample farms or had a factor greater than twice the mail sample rate was collapsed with another stratum. The mail sample rate was either 2, 4, or 6, APPENDIX C C-3 depending on whether the county had a 1 in 2, 1 in 4, or 1 in 6 sample selection rate. The collapsing occurred within the 32 initial strata according to a specified collapsing pattern. After the collapsing process was completed, new total farm counts and sample farm counts were computed from each final strata and used to calculate final sample factors. The final step calculated the noninteger sample weight as the product of the final sampling factor and the noninteger nonresponse weight. As described previously, the noninteger sample weight for each record is randomly rounded to an integer weight which is used in published tabulations. For example, if the final weight for a farm was 7.2, then the record would be rounded to either 7 or 8. If corresponding confidence intervals were constructed for all possible samples of the same size and design, approximately 90 percent of these intervals would contain the true population parameter. Similarly, a 95-percent confidence interval is 94,198 to 94,566 (i.e., 94,382 plus or minus 1.96 x 94). Census items were classified as either complete count or sample count items. All farm operators were asked the complete count items. Examples of complete count items were: land in farms, harvested cropland, livestock inventory and sales, crop acreage, quantities harvested and crop sales, land use, irrigation, government loans and payments, conservation acreage, type of organization, and operator characteristics. Only a sample of farm operators were asked the sample count items. These items appeared only in sections 21 through 27 of the sample form. Sample count items were included under the following section headings: commercial fertilizers, chemicals, production expenses, farm machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, farmrelated income, and hired workers. Variability in the estimates of complete count items was due only to the nonresponse survey estimation procedure. With regard to the estimates of sample count items, variability was due to both the nonresponse survey estimation procedure and the census sample selection and estimation procedure. Therefore, variability in the sample count item estimates tends to be larger than the variability in the complete count item estimates. Percent relative standard error is a common measure of variability. Table B provides the generalized reliability estimates of the estimated number of farms in a county that reported complete count and sample count items. The top half of the table shows the percent relative standard errors for estimated number of farms in a county that reported a complete count item, and the bottom half relates to sample count items. These reliability estimates are derived from regression equations. Separate regression equations were used to produce each section of table B. Each regression equation was fit with the estimated number of farms in a county reporting an item as the independent variable and the relative variance of that estimate as the dependent variable for the appropriate counties in the State. To illustrate the use of this table, assume that the estimate of the number of farms reporting hogs and pigs for a particular county, as given in county table 15, is 89. Since hogs and pigs is a complete count data item, refer to the first part of table B and use the estimated percent relative standard error of the estimate from the row with farm count equal to or just less than the estimated number of farms, 89. For this example, the percent relative standard error of the estimate comes from the row for 75 farms reporting. For sample count items, follow the same procedure using the second part of table B. For counties with fewer than 100 farms in the 1992 Census of Agriculture, variability in sample count 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service CENSUS SAMPLING ERROR The sample for the 1997 Census of Agriculture was only one of a large number of possible samples of the same size that could have been selected using the same sample design. In this context, ‘‘sample’’ refers to the sample for both the nonresponse survey and the selection of farms to receive sample forms. The standard error, or sampling error, of a survey estimate is a measure of the variation among the estimates from all possible samples. It is a measure of precision - that is, how well an estimate from a particular sample approximates the true population parameter. The percent relative standard error of an estimate is defined as the standard error of the estimate divided by the value of the estimate, then multiplied by 100. The true population parameter can be defined or conceptualized several different ways. One way is to think of the true population parameter as the average result of all possible samples (selected using a given sample design). A second way is to think of the true population parameter as the figure obtained from carrying out a complete enumeration of the population. If all possible samples were selected, each of the samples surveyed under essentially the same conditions, and an estimate and its standard error calculated from each sample, then: 1. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.65 standard errors below the estimate to 1.65 standard errors above the estimate would include the true population parameter. 2. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from 1.96 standard errors below the estimate to 1.96 standard errors above the estimate would include the true population parameter. The following example illustrates the computations necessary to produce a confidence statement for an estimate. Assume that the estimate of number of farms for a State is 94,382 and the relative standard error of the estimate is 0.1 percent (0.001). Multiplying 94,382 by 0.001 yields 94, the standard error; therefore, a 90-percent confidence interval is 94,227 to 94,537 (i.e., 94,382 plus or minus 1.65 x 94). C-4 APPENDIX C item estimates came only from nonresponse survey estimation procedures. The estimated relative standard error for a sample count item in these counties may be obtained using the first part of table B. Use caution when referring to the ‘‘Sample Count Item’’ section of table B to make inferences on counties. Some counties may have been sampled at the rate of 1 in 2 or 1 in 4, but the reliability estimates shown were computed using only data from counties sampled at the rate of 1 in 6. Therefore, the reliability estimates shown would likely be overstated (or conservative) if the county was actually sampled at a higher rate. Table C presents the percent relative standard error of selected State data items for all farms, and table D presents the percent relative standard error of selected State data items for all farms with sales of $10,000 or more. Table E presents the standard error for percent change in State totals from 1992 to 1997. The general purpose of the percent change estimate is to provide a relative measure of the difference in a characteristic between censuses. The relative change for a given characteristic is defined as the ratio of the difference of the 1997 and the 1992 estimate for that characteristic to the 1992 estimate. This ratio is multiplied by 100 to obtain the percent change. The standard error of a percent change estimate is the standard error of the ratio multiplied by 100. Table F presents the percent relative standard error for State and county totals for selected data items. The percent relative standard error of the estimate for the same item differs among counties in the State. Reasons for this are differences among counties in the (1) total number of farms, (2) number of large farms included with certainty, (3) size classifications of the farms sampled, (4) amount of nonresponse, (5) general agricultural characteristics, and (6) specific characteristic being measured. The farm counts and related estimates displayed in tables A through F relate to unadjusted census totals. These totals are the same as the ‘‘Census total’’ displayed in the first column of table G (which will be discussed later in this appendix). For most of the tables in this appendix, and also many of the tables throughout the publication, there is a footnote that reads ‘‘Data are based on a sample of farms.’’ The table entries that this footnote relate to are estimates of totals. To illustrate, suppose that the entry ‘‘other farmrelated income’’ is shown with this footnote and has some number of farms given. This number given would represent an estimated total number of farms with ‘‘other farm-related income,’’ based on the farms that were in the sample. This number should not be interpreted as the number of farms in the sample that have ‘‘other farm-related income.’’ design an understandable report form with instructions, and to minimize processing errors through the use of quality control measures. Nonsampling errors arise from many sources, including respondent or enumerator error or incorrect data keying, editing, or imputing for missing data. These nonsampling errors are further discussed in this section. Nonsampling error due to mail list incompleteness and duplication as well as misclassification of records on the mail list is called coverage error. The section titled ‘‘Coverage Evaluation’’ discusses the evaluation studies conducted to measure the extent of this error in the census. Respondent and Enumerator Error Incorrect or incomplete responses to the census report form or to the questions posed by an enumerator can introduce error into the census data. To reduce reporting error, detailed instructions for completing the report form were provided to each respondent. Questions were phrased as clearly as possible based on previous tests of the report form. In addition, each respondent’s answers were checked for completeness and consistency by the complex edit and imputation system. Item Nonresponse As information flowed from data collection to tabulation, various types of item nonresponses were identified on the census report forms. Nonresponse to particular questions on the census report form that logically should have been present created a type of nonsampling error in both complete count and sample count data. In this case, information from a similar farm was used to impute for these missing data items. The resulting data may have been biased if the characteristics of the nonreporting respondents were different from those of reporting respondents for those items. Processing Error All phases of processing for each census report form were potential sources for the introduction of nonsampling error. An automated check-in recorded that the report had been returned and excluded from further followup mailings. Approximately one-third of the mail returns were reviewed to resolve questions dealing with multiple reports, respondent remarks, or no reported data. The remaining mail returns (about two-thirds) were batched and sent directly to data keying, along with some of the reviewed cases containing farm data. Keyed records were transmitted, formatted, and run through the complex edit and imputation system. About one-fifth of all forms edited were clerically reviewed for inconsistencies, omissions, or questionable values. While reviewing these forms, the edit review staff determined if the action taken by the computer edit and imputation system was correct. Edited records were tabulated to the county level. Each county was reviewed and, when necessary, individual records were corrected prior to publication. APPENDIX C C-5 CENSUS NONSAMPLING ERROR The accuracy of the census counts is affected jointly by sampling errors (described in the previous section) and nonsampling errors. Extensive efforts were made to compile a complete and accurate mail list for the census, to 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Developing accurate processing methods is complicated by the complex structure of agriculture. Among the complexities are the many places to be included, the variety of arrangements under which farms are operated, the continuing changes in the relationship of operators to the farm operated, the expiration of leases and the initiation or renewal of leases, the problem of obtaining a complete list of agriculture operations, the difficulty of contacting and identifying some types of contractor/contractee relationships, the operator’s absence from the farm during the data collection period, and the operator’s opinion that part or all of the operation does not qualify and should not be included in the census. During data collection and processing of the census, all operations underwent a number of quality control checks to ensure as accurate an application as possible. COVERAGE EVALUATION Coverage Overview The primary objectives of the census of agriculture are to accurately count U.S. farms, measure commodity production and sales, and measure demographic characteristics of farm operators. Since 1945, an evaluation of census coverage has been conducted for each census of agriculture to provide estimates of the completeness of census farm counts. These results help to identify problems and focus improvements for future censuses. According to coverage evaluation results, the past five censuses of agriculture included an average of 92 percent of U.S. farms and 98 percent of agriculture production. Complete enumeration of agricultural operations satisfying the farm definition of $1,000 or more in agricultural sales is complicated by the variety of arrangements under which farms are operated, the multiplicity of names used for an operation, the number of operations in which an operator participates, and the difficulty in classifying those operations just around the $1,000 sales range. In 1997, extensive efforts were made to compile as complete and accurate a mail list as possible, while reducing the duplication and number of nonfarm operations on the list. The 1997 coverage evaluation program was designed to measure four components of error in the census farm counts. These components include: 1. Undercount due to farms Not on the Mail List (NML) 2. Overcount due to farms Duplicated or enumerated more than once (DUP) 3. Undercount due to farms Incorrectly Classified as nonfarms (ICU) 4. Overcount due to nonfarms Incorrectly Classified as farms (ICO). The first component, mail list undercount, is by far the largest component of coverage error. Duplication, though occurring far less frequently, can involve larger farms and have a larger impact on acreage and sales estimates. The C-6 APPENDIX C last two components involve the misclassification of either farms or nonfarms. Misclassification can arise from errors in either reporting or processing the data. Table G - Coverage Estimates - illustrates the effect of coverage adjustments on census farm counts by demographic characteristics, land in farms, and total value of sales. The coverage total is defined as the net difference between undercounted and overcounted farms. The adjusted census total is the sum of the census total and the net coverage total. The relative standard error is shown for the final census coverage adjusted number. This number will be similar to the relative standard error for the census number, except when the coverage total is negative or close to zero. The coverage adjustment percentage shows the coverage total as a percentage of total census adjusted farms for that characteristic. The 1997 Census of Agriculture is the first census to include all four components of coverage error in table G. Previous publications only included the coverage error component due to farms not on the mail list (NML). Because of this, caution should be taken when comparing coverage estimates from table G with previous years. In addition, the coverage total is a negative number for some characteristics. This means that the number of farms overcounted for this characteristic was greater than the number of farms undercounted. Area Frame Surveys to Measure Mail List Undercoverage Names and addresses collected in the 1997 June Agricultural Survey and 1997 Fall Area Survey were used to estimate the undercount due to farms not on the census mail list (NML). These names were matched to the census mail list, and those that did not match were contacted by telephone or person. The enumerator verified whether the operation had reported in the census, and if not, a census of agriculture report form was completed. The percentage of farms missed in the census varies considerably by State. In general, farms not on the mail list tended to be small in acreage, production, and sales of agricultural products. Farm operations could be missed for various reasons, including the possibility that the operation started after the mail list was developed, the operation may be so small as not to appear in any agriculture-related source lists, or the operation may have been falsely classified as a nonfarm prior to mailout. Classification Error Survey to Measure Three Types of Coverage Error The remaining three types of coverage error were measured by the Classification Error Survey. This survey was used to estimate the number of farms counted more than once (DUP), the number of farms misclassified as nonfarms (ICU), and the number of nonfarms misclassified as farms (ICO). A sample of census of agriculture respondents was selected for reinterview to determine their farm/nonfarm status and collect information to identify 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service potential duplication. The farm classification from this interview was compared with the classification on the census of agriculture report form. Any differences between these two classifications were reconciled to determine the true farm status. Each operation was reviewed for duplication by matching the additional information received from the reinterview (landlords, tenants, other names, etc.) to the list of census respondents. Potential duplication was reviewed and discrepancies reconciled. In general, the classification error rate is higher for small farms close to the $1,000 agricultural sales requirement. This rate is also higher for farms with small acreage (less than 49 acres), higher for tenant farms than for full- or partowner farms, and higher for farms where farming is not the operator’s principal occupation. list (NML) and 2) farms incorrectly classified as nonfarms (ICU). Overcount includes 3) nonfarms incorrectly classified as farms (ICO) and 4) farms duplicated in the census (DUP). Altogether, the adjusted census total is: T = C + (NML + ICU) - (ICO + DUP). In some States, estimates of misclassification of farms owned by operators having rare demographic characteristics were based on particularly small sample sizes. Where such small sample sizes occurred, a form of small area estimation was used in which data from similar States contributed to that State’s estimates. In these cases, the coverage totals are weighted totals of the direct State estimate and the direct estimate from the region. Direct estimates were used to the largest extent possible, based on the amount of survey cases available for the particular item being estimated. Coverage Estimation The adjusted census total, T, is estimated as the census farm count, C, plus undercount and minus overcount adjustments. Undercount includes 1) farms not on the mail 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service APPENDIX C C-7 Table A.

Conversion From the 1987 Standard Industrial Classification System to the 1997 North American Industry Classification System In previous agriculture censuses, farms were classified by type of activity or activities according to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC). For 1997 a new classification system, the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), replaced the SIC. NAICS was developed jointly by Mexico, Canada, and the United States to make the industrial statistics produced in the three countries comparable. Table A ‘‘Selected Characteristics of Farms by Standard Industrial Classification: 1997’’ is provided as a bridge table and will not be provided in future census publications. Table B ‘‘1997 NAICS U.S. Matched to 1987 U.S. SIC’’ provides excerpts from the 1997 NAICS Manual1 to assist the data user when making comparisons of establishment data between classification systems. The following text describes the classification methodology for the SIC system. An establishment primarily engaged in crop production (major group 01) or production of livestock and animal specialties (major group 02) is classified in the four-digit industry and three-digit industry group which accounts for 50 percent or more of the total value of sales of its agricultural products. If the total value of sales of agricultural products of an establishment is less than 50 percent from a single four-digit industry, but 50 percent or more from the products of two or more four-digit industries within the same three-digit industry group, the establishment is classified in the miscellaneous industry of that industry group. Otherwise, it is classified as a general crop farm in industry 0191 or a general livestock farm in industry 0291. Establishments that derive 50 percent or more of the value of sales from horticultural specialties of industry group 018 are classified in industry 0181 or 0182 according to their primary activity. The SIC groupings, together with the associated products (value of sales representing 50 percent or more of the value of agricultural products sold during the year) on which the classification is based, are as follows: Cash grains (011). Wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, barley, buckwheat, cowpeas, dry field and seed beans and peas, flaxseed, lentils, mustard seed, oats, popcorn, rye, safflower, sorghum, sunflowers, and other small grains. Cotton (0131). Cotton and cottonseed. Tobacco (0132). Tobacco. Sugarcane, sugar beets, potatoes, hay, peanuts, and other field crops (0133, 0134, 0139). Sugarcane, sugar beets, potatoes, alfalfa, broomcorn, clover, grass seed, hay, hops, mint, peanuts, sweet potatoes, timothy, and yams. Vegetables and melons (016). Vegetables and melons grown in the open. Fruits and tree nuts (017). Berries, grapes, tree nuts, citrus fruits, deciduous tree fruits, avocados, bananas, coffee, dates, figs, olives, pineapples, and tropical fruit. Horticultural specialties (018). Bedding plants, bulbs, florists’ greens, flower and vegetable seeds, flowers, foliage, fruit stocks, nursery stock, ornamental plants, shrubbery, sod, mushrooms, and vegetables grown under cover. General farms, primarily crops (019). Crops, including horticultural specialties, but less than 50 percent of sales from any single three-digit industry group. Livestock, except dairy, poultry, and animal specialties (021). Cattle, calves, hogs, sheep, goats, goats’ milk, mohair, and wool. Beef cattle, except feedlots (0212). Production or feeding of beef cattle, except feedlots. Dairy farms (024). Production of cows’ milk and other dairy products and raising of dairy heifer replacements. Poultry and eggs (025). Chickens, chicken eggs, turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, pigeons, quail, and squab. Animal specialties (027). Fur-bearing animals, rabbits, horses, ponies, bees, fish in captivity including fish hatcheries, worms, and laboratory animals. General farms, primarily livestock and animal specialties (029). Livestock and animal specialties and their products, but less than 50 percent of sales from any three-digit industry group. North American Industry Classification System, United States, 1997.
