Many other divisions contributed to this preparation: Data Preparation performed the clerical processing; Administrative Services pro- vided the forms design and other administrative services; Publi- cations Services contributed in publication planning and design, editorial review, composition, and printing procurement; Com- puter Services provided the computer processing facilities; Field provided selected data collection activities; Economic Program- ming prepared the computer programs; and Economic Surveys assisted in preparation of data collection and processing proce- dures and computer programs. Members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and representatives of both public and private organizations made significant recommendations which helped establish data content. Members of various agencies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture provided valuable advice in the planning, publicizing, and processing phases of the census, and in helping farmers and ranchers complete the report forms. The press, farm magazines, radio and television stations, and farm organizations were most helpful in publicizing the census and encouraging cooperation of farm and ranch operators. Special tribute is paid to the millions of farm and ranch operators who furnished the information requested. Only through their cooperation was it possible to collect and publish the data in this report.

The 1987 census includes each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Island of the United States. A census of agriculture will be conducted in American Samoa and the Common- wealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in conjunction with the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. FARM DEFINITION HISTORY The 1 987 Census of Agriculture is the 23d taken by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth decennial census of population. From 1840 to 1950, an 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 agri- culture to be taken for 1 978 and 1 982 to adjust the data reference year so that it coincided with the economic censuses covering manufacturing, mining, construction, retail trade, wholesale trade, service industries, and selected transportation activities. This adjustment in timing estab- lished the agriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting data for years ending in 2 and 7. USES OF THE CENSUS 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 in developing and changing farm programs and for determining the effects of these programs. Many national and State programs are designed or allocated on the basis of census data, such as funds for extension services, research, and soil conservation projects. 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 Title 13, United States Code, sections 142(a) and 191, which directs that a census be taken in 1979, 1983, and in every Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for census purposes first were established, the farm definition has been changed nine times. 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 the outlying areas varies according to area. The report for each area includes a discussion of the farm definition. COMPARABILITY OF DATA Data on acreages and inventories for 1987 and 1982 are generally comparable. Dollar figures shown for expenses and agricultural product sales are expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or defla- tion. In general, data for censuses since 1974 are not fully comparable with data for 1 969 and earlier censuses due to changes in the farm definition. The 1978 U.S., region, and State data shown in the 1978 Census of Agriculture publications included data for farms on the mail list plus estimates from an area sample for farms not on the mail list. For comparability, the 1978 data in the 1987 publications include only farms on the mail list. TABULAR PRESENTATION State data—Tables 1 through 47 in chapter 1 show detailed State-level data usually accompanied by historical data for one or more past censuses. Tables 48 through 53 provide 1 987 State data cross-tabulated by various farm classifications. County data—Chapter 2 presents selected data items by county. Tables 1 through 16 include general data for all counties. The counties are listed in alphabetical order in the column headings. Tables 17 through 36 include only 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION VII counties reporting the data item. Counties not having the item, or with a limited number of farms reporting the item, have data combined and presented as "all other counties." ADVANCE REPORTS Advance reports of 1 987 census data have been pub- lished separately for each county with 10 farms or more, each State, and the United States. This series provided, at the earliest possible date, final data on major data items together with comparable final data from the 1 982 census. Data items are standard across States except information on selected crops harvested, which vary by State accord- ing to their relative importance in the State. ELECTRONIC DATA DISSEMINATION The volume 1 data are available on computer tapes and compact disc. The advance report data are available on computer tapes, computer diskettes, and through elec- tronic data services such as the AGRIDATA network, the CENDATA package on Dialog, CompuServe on-line ser- vices, and the Census Bureau's State Data Center Bulletin Board. Computer tapes, diskettes, and compact discs are sold by the Customer Services Branch, Data User Services Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233 (telephone (301) 763-4100). SPECIAL TABULATIONS Custom designed tabulations can be developed to individual user specifications on a programming cost reim- bursable basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should be directed to the Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES In keeping with the provisions of Title 13, United States Code, no data are published that would disclose the operations of an individual farm. However, the number of farms in a given size category or other classification, such as size of farm, is not considered a release of confidential information and is provided even though other information is withheld. INVENTORIES, PRODUCTION, AND SALES DATA Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment are measured as of December 31 of the census year. Crop and livestock production, sales, and expense data are for the calendar year, except for a few crops (such as citrus) for which the production year overlaps the calendar year. ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS The following abbreviations and symbols are used through- out the tables: Represents zero. (D) Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual farms. (IC) Independent city. (NA) Not available. (S) Withheld because estimate did not meet pub- lication standards on the basis of either the response rate (associated relative standard error) or a consistency review. (X) Not applicable. (Z) Less than half of the unit shown. cwt Hundredweight. sq ft Square feet.

General Explanation Page DATA COLLECTION A-1 DATA PROCESSING A-2 MAJOR DATA CHANGES A-2 FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS, SPECIAL CENSUSES, AND RELATED PUBLICATIONS A-2 DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS A-3 FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTICS A-9 DATA COLLECTION Method of Enumeration All agriculture censuses beginning with the 1 969 census primarily have used mailout/mailback data collection. Direct enumeration methods, however, continue to be used for the agriculture census in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. Mail List The mail list for the 1987 census was comprised of individuals, businesses, and organizations that could be readily identified as being associated with agriculture. The list was assembled from the records of the 1982 census, administrative records of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the statistical records of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In addition, lists of large or specialized operations, such as nurseries and greenhouses, specialty crop farms, poultry farms, fish farms, livestock farms, and cattle feedlot operations, were obtained from State and Federal agencies, trade associations, and similar organi- zations. Lists of companies having one or more establish- ments (or locations) producing agricultural products were obtained from the 1982 census and updated using the information from the Standard Statistical Establishment List maintained by the Census Bureau. Exhaustive record linkage, unduplication, and mathematical modeling yielded a final mail list of 4.1 million names and addresses that had a substantial probability of being a farm operation. Report Forms In 1987, three different report forms were used— a two-page, a four-page, and a six-page form to minimize the reporting burden, particularly for small farms and places less likely to be farms. The six-page sample form and the four-page nonsample form are the same, except sections 23 through 28 have been added to the sample form to obtain supplemental information from a sample of farms. The information collected in these sections will give the Bureau of the Census a good basis for making estimates of these data for other farms included in the census. The two-page form does not have as many questions or as much detail as the four-page and six- page forms The four-page form has 1 1 regional versions and tt.e six-page form has 13 regional versions. Both forms have different crops prelisted. Appendix D contains copies of both the two-page and six-page forms. The six-page form was mailed to 1,104,000 addressees on the mail list, including ail those expected to be large (based on expected sales or acreage) or unique (farms operated by multiestablishment companies or nonprofit organizations), all those in Alaska and Hawaii, and a sample of other addressees. The two-page form was mailed to 906,000 addressees. These were expected to be small farms or less likely to be farms. The four-page form was mailed to the remaining 2,079,000 addressees. Fur- ther 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. Initial Mailing The report forms were mailed in mid-December 1 987 to the approximately 4,089,000 individuals, businesses, and organizations on the mail list. The mail packages included a report form, a cover letter with a description of the purposes and uses of the census on the reverse side, an information sheet containing instructions for completing the form, and a postage-paid return envelope. Additional special instructions were included with report forms sent to grazing associations; feedlot operations; institutional orga- nizations; Indian reservations; firms with multiple farm or ranch operations; and producers of poultry under contract, bees and honey, fish, laboratory animals, and nursery and greenhouse crops. To provide additional help to farmers in completing their reports, copies of an Agriculture Census Guide booklet were sent to vocational agriculture instructors, USDA county offices of the Agriculture Stabilization and Conser- vation Service, and the Cooperative Extension Service. The Guide contained descriptions and definitions of vari- ous items in more detail than the instructions included with each report form. Representatives of the above agencies graciously consented to assist farmers in completing their report forms. 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-1 Followup Procedures A thank you/reminder card was mailed to those on the mail list in mid-January 1 988. Five followup letters, three of which were accompanied by a report form, were sent to nonrespondents at 4-week intervals starting in mid-February and continuing until early June 1988. Telephone calls were made to all large farms who had not responded. In addition, telephone calls were made to a sample of other nonrespondents in counties that had a response rate of less than 75 percent. A nonresponse adjustment procedure was used to represent the final nonrespondent farms in the census results. A description of tnis procedure is included in the Census Estimation section of appendix C. DATA PROCESSING Selected report forms were reviewed prior to keying the data. These included reports with attached correspon- dence and reports with remarks or no positive data on the front page. The data from each report form were subjected to a detailed item-by-item computer edit. The edit performed comprehensive checks for consistency and reasonable- ness, 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 1 982 and 1 987. Sizeable historical differences were resolved or verified by telephone, if necessary. Respondents who reported sales or acreage above specified levels on non- sample forms were sent correspondence requesting the additional sample dala. Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed by statisticians to identify inconsis- tencies and potential coverage problems. Comparisons were made with previous census data, estimates published by the USDA, and other available data. MAJOR DATA CHANGES Prior to each agriculture census, the Census Bureau reviews the content of the census forms to eliminate questions no longer needed and to identify new items necessary to meet user needs and to better describe the agricultural situation in our Nation. Data requests are solicited from farmers, farm organizations, land grant col- leges and universities. State and federal agencies, and members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agricul- tural Statistics. Each agency and organization is asked to identify and justify its specific data needs. The following data inquiries were added to the 1987 report form: Income from farm-related sources Acres under the Conservation Reserve Program Payments received for participation in federal farm programs Grazing permits by source Additional data on production expenses were added in 1987: Repair and maintenance expenses Cash rent Property taxes paid All other production expenses The following separate data inquiries were eliminated from the 1 987 f o! nr Storage capacity for petroleum products Number of hired farm and ranch workers Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals for human consumption Source of irrigation water Tons of commercially mixed feed Expenditures for coal, wood, and coke Selected machinery items: automobiles, corn heads for combines, and field forage hai'vesters Chinchillas Worms Tropical and baitfish FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS, SPECIAL CENSUSES, AND RELATED PUBLICATIONS In addition to the 1987 Census of Agriculture for the 50 States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Amer- ican Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the census of agriculture program includes the 1988 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, the 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey, and the 1988 Census of Horticultural Specialties. The 1988 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey provides data on water use by irrigated farms and ranches. Data include: the amount of water applied by crop, method of water distribution, source of water, and energy costs for pumping water. Data from this survey will be published as volume 3, part 1 . The 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey provides detailed data on debts, expenses, taxes, credits, assets, land ownership, and farm and off-farm income for farm operators. Many of these items, as well as detailed data on landlord characteristics, are being col- lected from the landlords of the farms involved in the survey. Data from this survey will be published as volume 3, part 2. The 1988 Census of Horticultural Specialties covers operations growing and selling $2,000 or more of horticul- tural products such as greenhouse products, outdoor- grown floricultural products, nursery products, mushrooms, and sod. These data will be published as volume 4. Additional publications of the 1987 Census of Agricul- ture data include the Agricultural Atlas of the United States (previously called the Graphic Summary), Coverage Eval- uation, Ranking of States and Counties, and Government Payments and Market Value of Agricultural Products Sold. A-2 APPENDIX A 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE The Agricultural Atlas of the United States presents the Nation's agriculture graphically illustrated by dot and mul- ticolor pattern maps. The maps provide displays on size and type of farm, land use, farm tenure, market value of products sold, crops harvested, livestock inventories, and other characteristics of farms. This report will be published as volume 2, part 1 . The Coverage Evaluation report provides estimates of the completeness of the 1987 Census of Agriculture for the United States, geographic regions, and selected States and groups of States. Estimates with their associated sample reliability are provided for farms not on the mail list, farms classified as nonfarms, duplicate farms, and non- farms classified as farms. This report will be published as volume 2, part 2. The Ranking of States and Counties report ranks the leading States and counties for selected items in the 1 987 census and provides comparative data from the 1982 census. This report will be published as volume 2, part 3. A new publication on Government Payments and Mar- ket Value of Agricultural Products Sold presents 1 987 data for the United States and each State. The U.S. table has a format similar to volume 1, U.S. table 52 and presents summary data by size of farm. This report will be published as volume 2, part 5. DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS The following definitions and explanations provide a more detailed description of the terms used in this publi- cation than are available in the tables or on the report form. For an exact wording of the questions on the 1 987 census report forms and the information sheet which accompa- nied these forms, see appendix D. Most definitions of terms are the same as those used in earlier censuses. The more important exceptions are also noted here. Farms or farms reporting—The term "farms" or "farms reporting" in the presentation of data denotes 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: Cattle and calves farms- - 842 number- - 28,594 Land in farms—The acreage designated in the tables as "land in farms" consists primarily of agricultural land used for crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes wood- land and wasteland not actually under cultivation or used for pasture or grazing, provided it was part of the farm operator's total operations. Large acreages of woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural purposes were deleted from individual reports during the processing operations. Land in farms includes acres set aside under annual commodity acreage programs as well as acres in the Conservation Reserve Program for places meeting the farm definition. 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 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 Indian reserva- tions used for growing crops or grazing livestock was to be included as land in farms. Land in reservations not reported by individual Indians or non-Indians was to be reported in the name of the cooperative group that used the land. In some instances, an entire Indian reservation was reported as one farm. 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, 1988. These data are updated periodically; however, the acreages shown for 1987 are essentially the same as for 1982. Any differences between the land area for 1 987 and 1 982 are due to annexations and other changes affecting county boundaries. 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 contain- ing 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 has 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 from the 1982 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. 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. 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-3 Harvested cropland—This category includes land from which crops were harvested or hay was cut, and land in orchards, citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and green- houses. Land from which two or more crops were har- vested was counted only once, even though there was more than one use of the land. Irrigated land—This category includes all land watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers, 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. Cropland used only for pasture or grazing—This category includes land used only for pasture or grazing that could have been used for crops without additional improvement. Included also was all cropland used for rotation pasture and land in government diversion pro- grams that were pastured. However, cropland that was pastured before or after crops were harvested was to be included as harvested cropland rather than cropland for pasture or grazing. Other cropland—This category includes cropland not harvested and not grazed which was used for cover crops, soil improvement crops, land on which all crops failed, cultivated summer fallow, idle cropland, and land planted in crops that were to be harvested after the census year. Total woodland—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, land planted for Christmas tree production, and woodland pastured. Land covered by sagebrush or mesquite was to be reported as other paslureland and rangeland or other land. Woodland pastured—This category includes all wood- land used for pasture or grazing during the census year. Woodland or forest land pastured under a per-head graz- ing permit was not counted as land in farms and therefore, was not included in woodland pastured. Cropland in annual commodity acreage adjustment programs—This category includes land diverted or set aside under the provisions of the Federal Commodity Acreage Program. These data are for the acres of cropland taken out of production by growers of wheat, cotton, rice, corn, sorghum, barley, and oats, and devoted to conser- vation uses. Information was not obtained as to which crops would have been grown on the acres set aside. Cropland in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP)—This category includes acres of "highly erodible" cropland taken out of agricultural production and planted to protective cover crops or reforested. The CRP was established through the 1985 Food Security Act and provides for annual rental payments and shared costs of conservation practices through a 10-year contract with the USDA. Appendix B presents data on places with all their cropland enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program and which were not counted as farms in the 1987 census. Operator—The term "operator" designates a person who operates a farm, either doing the work or making day-to-day decisions about such things as planting, har- vesting, 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 partner- ships, 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 the same as the number of farms. In some cases, the operator was not the 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 place of residence, principal occupation, days of off-farm work, year in which his/her operation of the farm began, age, race, sex, and Spanish 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, Span- ish origin, off-farm work, or year began operation. Opera- tors of Spanish origin were tabulated by reported race. Farm production expenses— In 1987, additional spe- cific expense items and a category for all other farm production expenses were added to the selected farm production expenses collected in 1 982. Consequently, we are publishing total farm production expenses in 1987. The expenses are limited to those incurred in the operation of the farm business. Expenses include the share of the expenditures provided by landlords, contractors, and part- ners in the operation of the farm business. Property taxes paid by landlords are excluded. Expenditures for nonfarm activities; farm-related activities such as providing custom- work for others, the production and harvest of forest products, and reaeational services; and household expenses are excluded. In 1987, 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 was required for con- tract producers. Commercial fertilizer—The expense for commercial fertilizer is the amount spent on fertilizer during 1987 A-4 APPENDIX A 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE including the cost of custom application. The cost of custom application was excluded from the 1982 and 1978 data. Agricultural chemicals—These expenses include the cost of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other pesticides, including the cost of custom applica- tion. Data exclude commercial fertilizer purchased. The cost of custom application was excluded from the 1982 and 1978 data. The cost of lime was excluded from the 1987 and 1982 data, but included in 1978. 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 applica- tion of fertilizer and chemicals was included in the 1982 and 1978 customwork data, but is included in expenditures for these items in 1 987. The cost of hired labor for operating rented or hired machinery is included as a hired farm and ranch labor expense. Interest— In 1987, separate data were collected for interest paid on debts secured by real estate and interest paid on debts not secured by real estate. In 1982, only total interest expenses were collected. 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 1987 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 oper- ation. In addition, it includes receipts from placing com- modities in the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan program in 1 987. It does not include payments received for participation in 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 1987 does not necessarily represent the sales from crops harvested in 1987. Data may include sales from crops produced in earlier years and exclude some crops produced in 1987, 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 1 987. The value of agricultural products sold was requested of all operators. If the operator failed to report this informa- tion, 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 1987 with sales reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures are expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation. Government payments—This category is limited to direct cash or generic commodity certificate (PIK) pay- ments received by the farm operator in 1987. It includes deficiency and diversion payments; wool payments; pay- ments from the Dairy Termination Program, the Conserva- tion Reserve Program, other conservation programs, and all other federal farm programs under which payments were made directly to farm operators. Other farm-related income—The 1987 report form included a new inquiry on income from farm-related sources. These data consist of gross income in 1 987 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. These data are for income producing activities that are primarily a by-product or supplemental to the farm operation. They exclude income from business activities that are separate from the farm business. Customwork and other agricultural services—This income includes gross receipts received by farm oper- ators for providing services for others such as planting, plowing, spraying, and harvesting. Income from cus- tomwork 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 constitutes a separate business or is 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 the sales of Christmas trees, standing timber, maple products, gum for naval stores, fire- wood, and other forest products from the farm busi- ness. It excludes income from nonfarm timber tracts and sawmill businesses. Other farm-related income sources—This income includes gross receipts from hunting leases, fishing fees, camping, other recreational services, patronage dividends of cooperatives, sales of farm by-products, and other sales and services closely related to the farm business. It excludes income from nonfarm busi- nesses. Commodity Credit Corporations loans—This cate- gory includes loans for corn, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, peanuts, rye, rice, tobacco, and honey. 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-5 Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer and lime—For each type of agricultural chemical, the acres treated were to be reported only once even if the acres were fertilized or limed more than once. If multipurpose chemicals were used, the acres treated for each purpose were to be reported. Fish and other aquacultural products—The raising of fish and other aquacultural products in captivity is included in the agriculture census. Production in salt water is considered not to be in captivity and is excluded from the census. 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. Citrus enumeration— In the 1987 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 in recent censuses because of the difficulty in identifying and enumerating absentee grove owners who often do not know the information that is needed to adequately com- plete the census report. Each citrus caretaker was enu- merated 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 care- taker also was requested to inform the grove owner that he had already reported for the citrus under his care and that the grove owner was not to report the citrus again. In the 1 987 census, 7 caretakers in Arizona reported 1 75 grove owners having 12,000 acres of citrus; the 65 caretakers in Florida reported 3,000 grove owners having 1 70,000 acres of citrus; and 20 caretakers in Texas reported 800 grove owners having 14,500 acres of citrus. Crop year or season covered—Acres and quantity harvested are for the calendar year 1 987 except for citrus fruits, avocados, olives; vegetables in Florida; sugarcane in Florida and Texas; and pineapples and coffee in Hawaii. Citrus fruits—The data for Florida relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1986 through July 1987 harvest season, except limes that were harvested in the April 1987 through March 1988 harvest season. The data for Texas relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1 986 through May 1 987 harvest sea- son. The data for States, other than Florida and Texas, relate to the quantity harvested in the 1 986-87 harvest season. Avocados—The data for California relate to the quan- tity harvested in the November 1 986 through Novem- ber 1987 harvest season and for Florida the April 1987 through March 1 988 harvest season. Olives—The data for California relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1 986 through March 1 987 harvest season. Vegetables—The data for Florida relate to the crop harvested in the September 1986 through August 1987 harvest season. Sugarcane for sugar—The data for Florida relate to the cuttings from November 1 986 through April 1 987, and for Texas the cuttings from October 1986 through April 1987. Pineapples—The data for Hawaii relate to the quantity harvested in the year ending May 31, 1987. Coffee—The data for Hawaii relate to the 1 986-87 crop. Acres and quantity harvested—Crops were reported in whole acres, except for the following crops which were reported in lOths of acres: Irish potatoes, sweetpotatoes, tobacco, fruit and nut crops including land in orchards, berries, vegetables, and nursery and greenhouse crops; and in Hawaii, taro, ginger root, and lotus root. Totals for crops reported in lOths of acres were rounded to whole acres at the aggregate level during the tabulation process. If two or more crops were harvested from the same land during the year, the acres would be counted for each crop. Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested generally exceeds the acres of cropland harvested. An exception to this procedure is hay crops. When more than one cutting of hay was taken from the same acres^ the acres are counted only once but the quantity harvested includes all cuttings. However, hay cut for both dry hay and green chop or silage would be reported for each applicable crop. For inter- planted 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, 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 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. A-6 APPENDIX A 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 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 less than 20 total fruit, citrus, or nut trees, or grapevines. Crop units of measure—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 a unit of measure different than the unit of measure published, the quantity harvested was converted to the published unit of measure. Grapes could be reported in dry weight or fresh weight; plums and prunes in fresh weight, or prunes in dry weight; and in Hawaii, coffee in pounds parchment or pounds cherry, and macadamia nuts in pounds husked, unshelled or pounds shelled. For other fruit and nut crops and citrus, the operator was given a choice of units of measure of pounds, tons, or boxes. The quantity harvested for these crops is published in pounds. Data are based on a sample of farms—For 1987, 1 982, and 1 978, selected data were collected from only a sample of farms. These data are subject to sampling error. For 1987, the six-page sample form was mailed to all large and specialized farms (based on expected sales, acres, or standard industrial classification), all farms in Alaska and Hawaii, and approximately 17 percent of all other farms. Sample sections 23 through 28 of the 1987 census forms included inquiries on production expenses, commercial fertilizer and lime, chemicals, machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, and income from farm-related sources. Estimates of the reliability of county totals for selected items are shown in table F of appendix C. Operators of Spanish origin—No imputation was made for those not responding to the question on Spanish origin. Farms operated by Black and other races—This category includes Blacks, American Indians, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and all other racial groups other than White. Write-in crops—To reduce the length of the report form, only the major crops for the region were prelisted. For other crops, the respondent was requested 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 the crop 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. All other races—This category is primarily limited to persons native to or of ancestry from Mexico, the Carib- bean, and Central and South America. 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 crops and hay. Respondents were asked to include landlords' and contractors' shares. The value of commodities placed in CCC loans are included as sold. In 1987, all farms includ- ing abnormal farms were tabulated by size based on reported sales. In 1982 and 1978, abnormal farms were included in the total sales figure, but excluded from the detailed size breakdowns. Abnormal farms include institu- tional farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. Misreported or miscoded crops— In a few instances, tabulated data may be inaccurate because respondents misunderstood or misinterpreted questions on the report form. Data may have been reported on the wrong line or in the wrong section, or the wrong crop code may have been placed beside the name of a write-in crop. Some of these errors as well as some keying errors may not have been identified during processing and therefore, were not cor- rected. Reports with significant acres of unusual crops for the area were examined to minimize the possibility that they were in error. "See text" References Items in the tables which carry the note "See text" are explained or defined in this section. Farms with sales of less than $1,000—This category includes all farms with actual sales of less than $1 ,000, but having the production potential for sales of $1,000 or more. These farms normally could be expected to sell $1,000 or more of agricultural products. Net cash return from agricultural sales for the farm unit—This category is dehved by subtracting total operat- ing expenditures from the gross market value of agricul- tural products sold. Depreciation and the change in inven- tory values are excluded from expenditures. Production expenditures may be understated on part owner and tenant farms because property taxes paid by landlords are excluded. Other landlord expenditures, such as insurance or rent paid, which are not readily known to renters may also be omitted or understated. Gross sales include sales by the operator as well as the share of sales received by 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-7 partners, landlords, and contractors. Consequently, the net cash return is that of the farm unit rather than the net farm income of the operator. Other livestock and livestock products—This cate- gory includes all livestock and livestock products not listed separately. Value of livestock and poultry on farms—Data for the value of livestock and poultry on farms were obtained by multiplying the inventory of each major age and sex group by State average prices. The State average prices for cattle, hogs, sheep. Angora goats, hens and pullets of laying age, and turkeys were obtained primarily from data published by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA. Prices applied to other livestock and poultry were census-derived averages based primarily on reported value of sales in the census. Poultry hatched—This category includes all poultry hatched on the place during the year and placed or sold. Incubator egg capacity on December 31, 1987, is tabu- lated under the column heading "Inventory" and the number of poultry hatched and placed or sold is under the heading "Sales." 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 represent dry tonnage for the various hay cate- gories 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. Tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild hay—Data shown represent dry tons of hay harvested from clover, lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudan grass, and other types of legume and tame grasses. 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 have been converted to pounds of fresh weight. The conversion used was 4 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry weight. 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 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry weight. Cherries—For 1 987, 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 are an important fruit crop, "sweet cherries" and "tart cherries" were listed sepa- rately. On the other regional forms, either "cherries" were listed or could be written in. For publication purposes, "cherries, total" could be shown along with the individual breakdown of "sweet cherries," "tart cherries," or "cherries, not specified." "Cherries, not specified" is 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. Data for "sweet cherries," "tart cherries," and "cherries, not specified" are not available for 1 982. Other fruits and nuts—Data shown for other fruits and nuts relate to any fruits and nuts not having a specific code on the 1987 report form. Land used for vegetables—Data are for the total land used for vegetable crops. The acres are reported only once, even though two or more harvests of a vegetable or more than one vegetable were harvested from the same acres. Vegetables harvested for sale—The acres of vegeta- bles harvested is the summation of the acres of individual vegetables harvested. All of the individual vegetable items may not be shown. Nursery and greenhouse crops grown for sale—These data are a summation 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, veg- etable and flower seeds, sod, bedding plants, etc., grown in the open. Other grains—These data are for the total market value of other grains sold including dry edible beans, dry lima beans, buckwheat, dry southern peas (cowpeas), emmer and spelt, flaxseed, mixed grains, lentils, mustard seed, dry edible peas, popcorn, proso millet, rice, rye for grain, safflower, sunflower seed, triticale, and wild rice. Value of crop production—This item represents the estimated value of all crops harvested during the 1987 crop year. Data for the value of crops harvested were obtained by multiplying the average estimated value per unit by the reported acres or quantity harvested. Generally, harvested units of production (pounds, bushels, bales, etc.) were multiplied by State estimates of prices per unit. If only acres harvested were reported, State estimates for value of production per acre were used. The State average production price and production value per acre used in these calculations were obtained usually from publications of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA. When A-8 APPENDIX A 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE USDA estimates were not available, Bureau of the Census statisticians made estimates using available sources such as data from adjacent States, respondent report forms, county extension agents, and other persons knowledge- able about specific crops. Part owners, who operate land they own and also land they rent from others. Tenants, who operate only land they rent from others or work on shares for others. FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTICS State tables 48 through 53 present detailed 1987 data for all farms classified by specified characteristics—tenure of operator, type of organization, age and principal occu- pation of operator, size of farm (acres), value of agricultural products sold, and standard industrial classification. Other tables include data classified by value of sales groups or other characteristics of the farm or the operator. Farms by value of agricultural products sold or value of sales— In 1987, all farms were tabulated by size based on reported sales. In 1982 and earlier censuses, abnormal farms were not tabulated based on sales size. In the tables on market value of agricultural products sold, the sales of abnormal farms in 1982 and earlier censuses were included in the total sales figure, but excluded from the detailed size categories. Abnormal farms included institutional farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. 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. These farms normally could be expected to sell $1,000 or more of agricultural products. The sales size categories used in this report are con- sistent with the standard business size categories issued by Office of Management and Budget (0MB) in 1982. In State table 52, data are presented for four sales size categories between $10,000 and $49,999. This provides users with bridge data under both the 0MB and the 1978 census classifications. For the 1992 census, data will be presented only for the 0MB sales size categories of $10,000 to $24,999 and $25,000 to $49,999. Abnormal farms—This category includes institutional farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian reser- vations. Institutional farms include those operated by hos- pitals, penitentiaries, churches, schools, grazing associa- tions, and government agencies. In 1987 and 1982, nongovernmental units such as church farms and Future Farmers of America camps were classified as abnormal farms only when 50 percent or more of their products produced and intended for human consumption were utilized by the organization. Farms by tenure of operator—The classifications of tenure used in the 1987 census were: Full owners, who operate only land they own. 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE Farms by type of organization—All farms were clas- sified by type of organization in the 1987 census. The classifications used were: Individual or family (sole proprietorship), excluding partnership and corporation. Partnership, including family partnership. Corporation, including family corporation. Other, cooperative, estate or trust, institutional, etc. Corporations were subclassified by two additional char- acteristics into: 1 . Family held Other than family held 2. More than 10 stockholders 10 or less stockholders Farms by age and principal occupation of opera- tor—Data on age and principal occupation were requested from all operators in 1 987. The principal occupation clas- sifications used were: Farming—The operator spent 50 percent or more of his/her worktime in 1987 in farming or ranching. Other—The operator spent more than 50 percent of his/her worktime in 1987 in occupations other than farming or ranching. 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 the tenant's farm and not the owner's. Farms by standard industrial classification— In 1 987, all agricultural production establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries, greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity using the standard industrial classification (SIC) system. These classifications, found in the 1987 SIC ManuaM, are used to promote uniformity and comparability in the presentation of statistical data collected by various agencies. 'standard Industrial Classification Manual: 1987. For sale by Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Governnnent Printing Office, Wasfi- ington, DC 20402. Stock No. 041-001-003-14-2. APPENDIX A A-9 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 agricul- tural 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. Characteristics of all farms by selected SIC groupings are shown in State tables 18 and 53. The SIC groupings shown in State table 53, 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, bar- ley, buckwheat, cowpeas, dry field and seed beans and peas, flaxseed, lentils, milo, mustard seed, oats, popcorn, rye, safflower, sorghum, sunflowers, and other small grains. Cotton (0131)—Cotton and cottonseed. Tobacco (0132)—Tobacco. Sugarcane, sugar beets, Irish potatoes, hay, pea- nuts, and other field crops (0133, 0134, 0139)—Sugarcane, sugar beets, Irish potatoes, alfalfa, broomcorn, clover, grass seed, hay, hops, mint, pea- nuts, sweetpotatoes, timothy, and yams. Vegetables and melons (016)—Vegetables and mel- ons 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, shrubberies, sod, mushrooms, and vegetables grown under cover. General farms, primarily crops (019)—Crops, includ- ing horticultural specialties, but less than 50 percent of sales from any single three-digit industry group. Livestock, except dairy, poultry, and animal special- ties (021)—Cattle, calves, hogs, sheep, goats, goat's 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, tur- keys, ducks, geese, pheasants, pigeons, quail, and squab. Animal specialties (027)—Fur-bearing animals, rab- bits, horses, ponies, bees, fish in captivity except fish hatcheries, worms, and laboratory animals. General farms, primarily livestock and animal spe- cialties (029)— Livestock and animal specialties and their products, but less than 50 percent of sales from any single three-digit industry group. The SIC manual was revised for 1987. Animal aquacul- ture (0273) was established as a new industry and horti- cultural specialties, not elsewhere classified (0189) was deleted. A-10 APPENDIX A 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B. Places With All Cropland in the Conservation Reserve Program The Food Security Act of 1985 established the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). This program provides annual payments for highly erodible cropland enrolled in the program and meeting its conservation requirements. It also requires that the land be taken out of agricultural production for 10 years. The 1987 Census of Agriculture includes Conservation Reserve acreage as land in farms on operations that meet the census farm definition. For census purposes, a farm is any place from which agricultural products of $1,000 or more were produced and sold or normally would have been sold during the census year. Operations which placed all of their cropland in the CRP and did not otherwise meet the farm definition based upon sales, livestock inventories, planted crops, or other criteria for potential sales were not included as farms in the census tabulations. The following table provides CRP data for places not meeting the census farm definition ("whole farm" CRP places). It also contains separate but corresponding CRP data for farms included in the census tabulations. In addition to State data, detailed county data are presented for counties with three or more"whole farm" CRP places reported. For counties with less than three "whole farm" CRP places reported, their data are combined and reported in "all other counties." The data for "whole farm" CRP places are not complete for all counties. The census mail list was developed from sources which indicated the farm had agricultural production activity. It was not designed to cover all "whole farm" CRP places. Therefore, the data for these places are limited to what was reported in the census and have not been adjusted to account for nonresponse, incomplete coverage, and reporting errors.

STATE COVERAGE EVALUATION ESTIMATES OF FARMS NOT ON THE MAIL LIST: 1987 MAIL LIST MODEL A statistical discriminant model was developed to pre- dict the probability that a mail list addressee operated a farm. The model was used to identify the 4.1 million records from the preliminary census mail list of 6.0 million records that would receive a census of agriculture report form. Records from the 1 982 census mail list were used to build the model. Record characteristics such as the source of the mail list record (see appendix A for a description of record sources), number of source lists on which the record appeared, expected value of agricultural sales, and geographic location were used to separate mail list records into model groups. The proportion of 1982 census farm records in each group was calculated to provide an estimate of the probability that an addressee in the group operated a farm. Using these same group definitions, the 1987 census mail list records were separated into groups, each with an associated estimate of farm probability from the model. The 4.1 million mail list records in groups with the largest estimate of farm probability were selected to receive the census report form. A large percentage of the 1.9 million records that were dropped from the 6.0 million preliminary census mail list were nonfarm records from the previous census. This procedure was used to obtain a more com- plete census enumeration without excessive respondent burden and data collection cost. CENSUS SAMPLE DESIGN Each of the 4.1 million name and address records on the census mail list was designated to receive one of three different types of census report forms. The three forms were the nonsample census form (a four-page form), the sample form (a six-page form), and the short form (a two-page form). Sections 1 through 22 of the sample form were identical to sections on the nonsample census form. However, the sample form contained additional sections on farm production expenditures, usage of fertilizers and insecticides, value of machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, and farm-related income. The short form contained abbreviated versions of the sections on the nonsample census form. These three different forms were used to reduce the response burden of the census, while providing quality information on a large number of data items at the county level. The sample form was mailed to all mail list records in Alaska and Hawaii and to a sample of records in other States identified when the mail list was constructed. Addresses were selected into the sample with certainty if they were expected to have large total values of agricultural products sold or large acreage, if they were firms with two or more farms, or if they had other special characteristics. When a nonsample large farm was identified during processing, a supplemental form that contained the additional data inquiries was mailed. All farms in counties with less than 100 farms in 1982 were included in the sample with certainty; counties containing 100 to 199 farms in 1982 were systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 2; and counties containing 200 or more farms in 1982 were systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 6. This differential sample scheme was used to provide reliable data for sections 23 through 28 of the report form for all counties. To determine which mail list records would receive the short form, all mail list records not designated for the sample were sorted into model groups according to farm probability as specified by the mail list model. The 906,000 mail list records in the model groups with the lowest probability of being farms and with an expected total value of agricultural product sales less than $20,000 were des- ignated to receive the short form. The remaining mail list records were selected to receive the nonsample census form. CENSUS ESTIMATION The 1987 Census of Agriculture used two types of statistical estimation procedures. These estimation 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX C C-1 procedures accounted both for nonresponse to the data collection and for the sample data collection. These pro- cedures are used because some farm operators never respond to the census despite numerous attempts to contact them, and not all farm operators are requested to provide the sample data items. Whole Farm Nonresponse Estimation A statistical estimation procedure was used to account for the census farms among mail list nonrespondents that were not designated for telephone followup. A stratified systematic sample of eligible census nonrespondents were mailed a simplified report form. Five sample strata were defined based on form type, expected value of sales, and previous census status. The report form was designed to provide sufficient information to determine farm status. Additional mail and telephone contacts were made to survey nonrespondents to obtain sufficient response for survey estimates. Estimates of the proportion of census nonrespondents that operated farms were made for each stratum in the State using survey results and applied to the total number of census nonrespondents in that stratum. A synthetic estimation procedure was used to estimate the number of census nonrespondents that operated farms for each county by stratum. This estimation procedure is based on the assumption that the distribution of farms in a stratum by county is the same for census nonrespondents as for census respondents. Within each stratum in a county, a noninteger nonre- sponse weight was calculated and assigned to each eligible respondent farm record. The procedure used for calculating the nonresponse weight assumed the eligible census respondents and the nonrespondent farm opera- tions in a county had similar characteristics within each stratum. The noninteger nonresponse weight was the ratio of the sum of the estimated number of nonrespondent farms (using nonresponse survey results) and the number of eligible census respondent farms to the number of eligible census respondent farms. Stratum controls were established to ensure that this weight was never greater than 2.0. The noninteger nonresponse weight was used in the estimation of the final weight for the sample items. It was randomly rounded to an integer weight of either 1 or 2 for each record for tabulating the complete count items. The procedure assumed that we obtain complete response from large and unique farm operations because these cases received intensive telephone followup during cen- sus processing. In situations where addressees could not be contacted by telephone or refused to cooperate, sec- ondary sources such as Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service offices or county extension agents were asked to provide information as to whether or not the addressee had agricultural activities. Data from previous census reports for the specific addressee, in conjunction with other information, were used to complete the census report form. Table A quantifies the effect of the nonresponse esti- mation procedure on selected census data items. The percentage of the census value contributed by nonre- sponse estimation as provided in this table indicates the potential for bias in published figures resulting from this procedure. The estimates provided in these tables do not reflect the effect of nonresponse to individual data items on respondents' census report forms. The effect of this item nonresponse is discussed further under Census Non- sampling Error. Table A.

The estimates were obtained from an iterative ratio estimation procedure that resulted in the assignment of a weight to each 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 overall sample records in the county. Each sample farm was assigned one sample weight to be used to produce estimates for all sample items. For example, if the weight given to a sample farm had the value 5, ail sample data items reported by that farm would be multiplied by 5. The weight assigned a certainty farm was 1 . The estimation procedure used to assign weights was performed for each county. Within a county, the ratio estimation procedure for farms was performed in three steps using three variables. The first variable contained eight 1 987 total value of agricultural production (TVP) groups. Both the second and third variables, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code and farm acreage, contained two groups. The variable groups were as follows: C-2 APPENDIX C 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE TVP SIC Acres S1 to $999 The computations involved to define the above confi- dence statements are illustrated in the following example. Assume that the estimate of number of farms for the State is 94,382 and the relative standard error of the estimate (percent) is .1 percent (0.001). Multiplying 94,382 by 0.001 yields 94, the standard error. Therefore, a 67-percent confidence interval is 94,288 to 94,476 (i.e., 94,382 plus or minus 94). If corresponding confidence intervals were constructed for all possible samples of the same size and design, approximately 2 out of 3 (67 percent) of these intervals would contain the figure obtained from a com- plete enumeration. Similarly, a 90 percent confidence interval is 94,227 to 94,538 (i.e., 94,382 plus or minus 1.65 x94). Tables B and C provide the reliability estimates of the estimated number of farms in a county reporting complete count and sample items, respectively. Both tables show the percent relative standard errors for selected estimated number of farms in a county reporting an item.These are derived from a regression equation. The parameters of the regression equation were estimated using the estimated number of farms in a county reporting the complete count or sample item as the independent variable and the standard error of that estimate as the dependent variable for all counties in the State. Table B. Reliability Estimates for Number of Farms in a County Reporting a Complete Count Item: 1987 Farms Number of farms reporting: 25 50 75 100 150 200 300 500 750 1,000 1,500 2,000 Relative standard error of estimate (percent) 7.4 4.8 3.7 3.1 2.4 2.0 1.6 1.1 .9 .7 .6 .5 Note: Complete count items are items in sections 1 to 22 of the report form. To illustrate the use of these tables, assume that the estimate of the number of farms reporting hogs and pigs for a particular county, as given in county table 12, is 89. Since hogs and pigs is a complete count data item, refer to table B and select the estimated relative standard error of the estimate from the row whose value is equal to or just less than the estimated number of farms, 89. For this example, the relative standard error of Ihe estimate comes from the row for 75 farms reporting. For sample data items, follow the same procedure using table C. In counties that had less than 100 farms in the 1982 Census of Agriculture, table C does not apply because the farms in these counties were sampled with certainty (1 in 1), and thus, the reliability estimates for the number of farms in these counties are smaller than for counties that were sampled at lower rates (1 in 2 or 1 in 6). Table C. Reliability Estimates for Number of Farms in a County Reporting a Sample Item: 1987 Number of farms reporting 25 50 75 100 150 200 • 300 500 750 • 1,000 1,500 2,000 Relative standard error of estimate (percent) 13.8 8.5 6.3 5.2 3.9 3.2 2.4 1.6 1.2 1.0 .8 .6 Note: Sample items are items in sections 23 to 28 of the report form. Table D presents the relative standard error of selected State data items for all farms and for all farms with sales of $10,000 or more. The percent relative standard error of the estimate for complete count data measures the variation associated with the sample-based adjustment for whole farm nonresponse. The percent relative standard error of the estimate for sample items measures both the sampling error due to the nonresponse sample estimation procedure and the census sample selection and estimation proce- dure. The reliability of State estimates may vary substan- tially from State to State. Generally, State estimates for a given data item are less reliable than the corresponding U.S. estimate. Table E presents the standard error (not relative stand- ard error) for percent change in State totals from 1 982 to 1 987. 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 differ- ence of the 1987 and the 1982 estimate for that charac- teristic to the 1982 estimate. This ratio is multiplied by 100 to obtain the percent change. The percent standard error of a percent change estimate, then, is the standard error of the ratio multiplied by 100. Table F presents the relative standard error for county totals for 10 major complete count items and 7 sample items. The relative standard error of the estimate (percent) for the same item differs among counties in a State. Reasons for this are differences among counties in (1) the total number of farms, (2) the number of large farms included with certainty, (3) the size classifications of the farms sampled, (4) the amount of nonresponse, (5) the general agricultural characteristics, and (6) the specific characteristic being measured. C-4 APPENDIX C 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE CENSUS NONSAMPLING ERROR The accuracy of the census counts are affected by the joint effects of the sampling errors described in the previ- ous section and nonsampling errors. Extensive efforts were made to compile a complete and accurate mail list for the census, to design an understandable report form and instructions, and to minimize processing errors through the use of quality' control, verification, and check measures on specific operations. Nonsampling errors arise from incom- pleteness of the census mail list, duplication in the mail list, incorrect data reporting, errors in editing of reported data, and errors in imputation for missing data. These specific nonsampling errors are further discussed in this section. Evaluation studies will be conducted to measure the extent of certain nonsampling errors such as coverage error, classification error, and item imputation. Census Coverage The main objective of the census of agriculture is to obtain a complete and accurate enumeration of U.S. farms with accurate data on all aspects of the agricultural oper- ation. However, the cost and availability of resources for this enumeration place restrictions on operationally feasi- ble data collection methodologies. The past five agricul- ture censuses have been conducted by mail enumeration with telephone contact for selected nonrespondents. The completeness of such an enumeration thus depends to a large extent on the coverage of farm operations by the census mail list. Historically, the census of agriculture has included approximately 90 percent of the farms in the United States and over 96 percent of the agricultural production. Com- plete enumeration of agricultural operations satisfying the farm definition of $1,000 or more in agricultural sales is complicated by fluctuations in agricultural operations qual- ifying for enumeration, the variety of arrangements under which farms are operated, the multiplicity of names used by an operation, the number of operations in which an operator participates, the accuracy of data reporting, etc. A new mail list is compiled for each census because no current single list of agricultural operations is comprehen- sive. An evaluation of census coverage has been conducted for each census of agriculture since 1 945. The evaluation provides estimates of the completeness of census farm count and major census data items. In addition, the evaluation helps to identify problems in the census enu- meration and provide information that can form the basis for improvements. The results of the 1987 Coverage Evaluation program will be published in volume 2, part 2. The evaluation of coverage conducted in 1987 was designed to measure errors in the census mail list and in farm classification. Mail list error includes a measurement of farms not on the census mail list (undercount), and a measurement of farms enumerated more than once in the census (overcount). Classification error includes a mea- surement of farms classified as nonfarms in the census (undercount) and of nonfarms classified as farms in the census (overcount). Classification error arises from report- ing and processing errors. Mail list undercount dominates all coverage errors. Net coverage error is defined as the difference of undercounted and overcounted farms. Mea- surements of these errors, as well as a description of the complete coverage program, will be available in the Cov- erage Evaluation report. Mail List Coverage A major problem with the use of a mail list for the census of agriculture enumeration is the difficulties that are encoun- tered in compiling a complete list. The percentage of farms on the census mail list varies considerably by State. Several reasons have contributed to farm operators' names not being included on the census mail list—the operation may have been started after the mail list was developed, the operation may be so small as not to appear in agricultural related source lists used in compiling the census list, or the operation may have been falsely clas- sified as a nonfarm prior to mailout. A large proportion of the farms not included on the mail list were small in both acres and sales of agricultural products. The 1987 Census of Agriculture Coverage Evaluation used the area segment sample of the 1987 June Enumer- ative Survey (JES) of the National Agricultural Statistical Service (NASS) to estimate farms not on the census mail list. The Census Bureau contracted with the NASS to augment the JES data collection and receive survey data under the confidentiality protection afforded by Title 13, U.S. Code, from ail residents of area sample segments with agricultural activity. These survey records were matched to the census mail list. Records that did not match were mailed a census of agriculture report form to estimate mail list coverage. Estimates of farms not on the census mail list used the capture-recapture dual frame estimator that will be described in the Coverage Evaluation report. Table G provides coverage evaluation estimates of the number of farms not on the mail list and selected charac- teristics of those farms with their percent relative standard error. The table also provides an estimate of characteris- tics of farms not on the mail list as a percentage of total farms in the State. The estimate of total farms in the State is based on census farm count and the estimated number of farms not on the census mail list. This estimate of total farms in the State was not adjusted for classification and list duplication errors. Estimates of these errors will be made at the regional rather than the State level and will be available in the Coverage Evaluation report. The table provides the standard error (not relative standard error) of this percent estimate. Respondent and Enumerator Error Incorrect or incomplete responses to the mailed census report form or to the questions posed by a telephone 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX C C-5 enumerator introduce error into the census data. Such incorrect information can lead, in some cases, to incorrect enumeration of farms. This type of reporting error is measured by the Classification Error Study discussed later in this section. To reduce all types of reporting error, questions were phrased as clearly as possible based on tests of the census report form, and detailed instructions for completing the report form were provided to each addressee. In addition, each respondent's answers were checked for completeness and consistency. Item Nonresponse Nonresponse to particular questions on the census report that we would logically or statistically expect to be present may create a type of nonsampling error in both complete count and sample data. When information reported for another farm with similar characteristics is used to edit or impute for item nonresponse, the data may be biased because the characteristics of the nonrespondents have not been observed and may differ from those reported by respondents. Any attempt to correct the data for nonre- sponse may not completely reflect this difference either at the element level (individual farm operation) or on the average. Processing Error The many steps of processing of each census report form are sources for the introduction of nonsampling error. The processing of the census report forms includes cleri- cal screening for farm activity, computerized check-in of report forms and followup of nonrespondents, keying and transmittal of completed report forms, computerized edit- ing of inconsistent and missing data, review and correction of individual records referred from the computer edit, review and correction of tabulated data, and electronic data processing. These operations undergo a number of quality control checks to ensure as accurate an application as possible, yet some errors are not detected and cor- rected. Classification Error An evaluation study of classification errors was con- ducted in the 1987 Census of Agriculture as part of the census coverage evaluation program. A sample of mail list respondents was selected, and these addresses reenu- merated to determine whether they were a farm or non- farm. A farm status determination was made based on the evaluation questionnaire and compared with the status based on the data reported on the census form. Differ- ences in status were reconciled. In past censuses, the proportion of farms undercounted due to classification errors was higher for farms with small values of sales. The classification error rate was higher for (1) livestock farms than crop farms, (2) farms with a small number of acres than larger farms, or (3) tenant farms than full or part-owner farms. Results from the 1987 classifica- tion error study will be published in the Coverage Evalua- tion report. EDITING DATA AND IMPUTATION FOR ITEM NONRESPONSE For the 1987 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. Computer edits also performed a series of complex, logical checks of consistency and completeness of item responses. They 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 oper- ator characteristics, data from the previous census were used when available. Values for other missing or unaccept- able reported data items were calculated based on reported quantities and known 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 geo- graphically 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 exe- cution 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 were 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 clas- sification and total value of sales categories when imputing hired farm labor expenses. These values and item relation- ships for the possible imputation variables were stored in the computer in a series of matrices. The computer records were sorted by reported State and county, where the county sequence was based on similar types of farms and agricultural practices. Each execution of the computer edit consisted of records from only one State. For a given execution of the edit, the stored entries in the various matrices were retained in the computer only until a succeeding record having acceptable characteristics for some sections of the report form was processed by the computer. Then the acceptable responses C-6 APPENDIX C 1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 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. After the initial computer edit, keyed reports not meeting the census farm definition were reviewed to ensure that the data were keyed correctly. Edit referrals were gener- ated for about 30 percent of the reports included as farms, and they were also reviewed for keying accuracy and to ensure that the computer edit actions were correct. If the results of the computer edit were not acceptable, correc- tions were made and the record was reedited. More extensive discussions of the edit and item imputation methodology with measures of the extent of imputation in the census estimates will be provided in a separate research report.
