HISTORY
The
1 990 Census of Agriculture for American Samoa is
the eighth census to be fallen by the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau
of the Census. The
first agriculture
census was taken in 1920 as part of the decennial census
of population and has continued every 10 years.
USES OF THE CENSUS
The census of agriculture
is the recognized source of
Statistics about American Samoa's agricultural production
and the only source of consistent, comparable data at the
district level. Census statistics are used to measure agri-
cultural production and to identify trends in an ever chang-
ing agricultural sector. Many local programs use census
data as a benchmark for designing and evaluating surveys.
Private industry uses census statistics to provide a more
effective production and distribution system for the agricul-
tural community.
old
farm
definition
used
in
previous
censuses,
which
defined a farm as having a minimum number of livestock,
poultry,
fruit
or
nut
trees,
or any crops
or vegetables
harvested for sale.
COMPARABILITY OF DATA
Data comparability has been maintained
in chapter 2
which contains the
1 980 data along with the comparable
1990 data.
Dollar figures shown
for agricultural product
sales only apply under the new farm definition in chapter 1
TABULAR PRESENTATION
Island data—Chapter
1
, tables
1 through 8 and chapter
2, tables
1
through 7 show detailed data
for American
Samoa. Chapter
1
, tables 22 through 25 show
1 990 data
cross tabulated by tenure of operator, size of farm, age of
operator, and value of agricultural products sold.
District and county data—Data for districts and coun-
ties are presented in chapter 1, tables 9 through 21 and in
chapter 2, tables 8 through
1 8.
SPECIAL TABULATIONS
Custom designed tabulations are available to individual
user specifications on a programming cost reimbursable
basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should be directed
to the Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of the Census,
Washington, DC 20233.
AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED
The census of agriculture is required by law under Title
13,
United States Code,
sections
142(a) and
191. The
census
of agriculture
in American Samoa
is conducted
every 10 years in conjunction with the census of population
and housing.
FARM DEFINITION
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
such as crop production, number of livestock, and sales is
withheld.
The statistics presented relate to places qualifying as
census farms. Chapter
1
uses the new farm
definition,
developed by the Census Bureau and the Government of
American Samoa, which defines a farm as any place from
which $100 or more of agricultural products were sold or
normally would have been sold during the census year.
Chapter 2 provides comparable 1 990 data according to the
INVENTORIES, PRODUCTION, AND SALES
DATA
Inventories of livestock, poultry, and fruit and nut trees
or plants are determined by the number on hand on the
day of enumeration. Crop production and sales, as well as
livestock sales, are for the calendar year.

DATA COLLECTION
Method of Enumeration
The census
of
agriculture was conducted
by
direct
enumeration beginning
in April 1990,
in conjunction with
the population and housing censuses. On the last page of
the population and housing questionnaire was an agricul-
ture screening section. The enumerator was required to
complete an agriculture questionnaire when a "yes" answer
was received to any one of the five screening questions.
Questionnaire
The questionnaire for the
1 990 Census of Agriculture in
American Samoa was prepared by the Agriculture Division,
Bureau of the Census, in cooperation with the Government
of American Samoa.
The content of the
1 990 census questionnaire is similar
to the
1 980 questionnaire. Quantity sold and value of sales
were added
to the crops and
livestock sections. Other
additions and deletions were made based on discussions
with the Government of American Samoa and with respect
to published tables in the 1980 census.
Followup Procedures
An enumerator was instructed to visit a farm up to three
times.
If no one was available to complete the question-
naire, the case would then be given to the supervisor.
If all
attempts to obtain the information from the farm operator
failed,
the
information
might then be obtained from a
neighbor or by observation of the place.
DATA PROCESSING
The processing was done in the Agriculture Division at
the Bureau of the Census. Each questionnaire was edited
and coded prior to being keyed and tabulated. The ques-
tionnaires were examined for accuracy, consistency, and
completeness.
Errors
in
computations and
in
units
of
measure,
inconsistencies,
and
misplaced
entries were
corrected. Incomplete reports were adjusted on the basis
of related information on the same form or on question-
naires for nearby farms of similar type and size.
After
all questionnaires had been reviewed, the data
were
keyed and
subjected
to
a
detailed
item-by-item
computer edit. The edit performed comprehensive checks
for completeness and consistency. Inconsistencies identi-
fied by the edit were corrected by subject matter special-
ists, and reedited. The data were then tabulated by the
computer for analysis.
Following necessary corrections,
the data were retabulated for final publication.
MAJOR DATA CHANGES
Prior to each
agriculture census,
the Bureau
of the
Census reviews the content of the census forms to elimi-
nate
questions
no
longer
needed,
identify new
items
necessary to meet user needs, and to better describe the
agriculture situation in American Samoa. Data requests are
solicited from government agencies
in American Samoa.
The following changes were made to the
1 990 question-
naire:
•
Additions:
-
Information on landlords
-
Green beans
Melons
-
Ornamental plants or nursery crops
-
Chicken eggs value
-
Quarts of milk
-
Quantity sold and value of sales in the crops
and livestock sections
•
Deletions:
Green peas
-
Green peppers
Fishery section
The word
"matai" was changed
to "communal"
to
reflect the cultural change in land holdings.
FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS, SPECIAL CENSUSES,
AND RELATED PUBLICATIONS
In addition to the
1 990 Census of Agriculture for Amer-
ican Samoa and
the Commonwealth
of
the
Northern
Mariana Islands, the census of agriculture program includes
the
1 987 Census of Agriculture for the 50 States, Puerto
1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A
A-1
Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the 1988 Farm and
Ranch Irrigation Survey, the
1 988 Agricultural Economics
and Land Ownership Survey, and the 1988 Census of
Horticultural Specialties.
Additional publications of the
1 987 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, Government Pay-
ments and Market Value of Agricultural Products Sold, and
ZIP Code Tabulations of Selected Items.
Land owned—This includes all land held by the opera-
tor or his/her spouse under title, purchase contract, or as
heir
or
trustee
of an
undivided
estate
at
the
time
of
enumeration. Land managed by a hired manager also was
considered owned. Communal land
is the land which
is
owned by the extended family.
Land rented from others—This includes not only land
that the operator rented or leased from others, but also
land worked on shares for others and land used rent free.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
The
following
definitions and explanations provide a
more detailed description of terms used in this publication
than are available in the tables or on the questionnaire. For
an exact wording of the questions on the
1 990 question-
naire, see appendix B.
In the tables, data for land
in farms, land use, fruit and
nut trees, and livestock and poultry on hand represent the
situation existing at the time of enumeration of each farm.
The enumeration for the
1 990 Census of Agriculture began
in April 1990 and the 1980 census in April 1980. All other
data, such as that relating to acres and production, are for
the calendar years
1 989 and
1 979. Sales are for 1 989 only.
Farm operator—The
term
"operator"
designates
a
person who operates a farm,
either by doing the work
himself/herself or directly supervising the work. The oper-
ator may be the owner, a member of the owner's house-
hold, a tenant or renter, the manager,
or the person
in
charge of an institutional farm. For communal lands, the
person
in charge
is considered as the operator of land
used
for the
benefit
of the extended
family
group. An
individual member of the family group who raised crops or
kept
livestock
or
poultry
for
his/her own
account on
communal land was considered to be the operator of the
land so assigned. By definition, the number of farm oper-
ators is the same as the number of farms.
Farms or farms reporting—The term "farms" or "farms
reporting" in the presentation of data denotes the number
of farms reporting the item.
Land in farms—The land in farms was determined from
the answers to questions
1 through 4
in section
1
of the
questionnaire (see app. B). The amounts of land reported
as owned and rented from others were added together,
and the amount of land reported as rented to others was
subtracted from that sum. The result represents "land
in
farms." Although the area designated land
in farms con-
sists primarily of agricultural land, i.e.—land used for crops,
pasture,
or grazing— it also
included areas
of
land
not
actually under cultivation nor used for pasture or grazing.
For example, woodland and wasteland owned or rented
from others were included as land
in farms unless the
report indicated
it was being held for nonagricultural pur-
poses, such as recreational or for timber.
Land
rented
to others—This
includes
all
land
the
operator rented or leased to others and
all land assigned
to others on shares or rent free during the past year. For
the most part, the land rented to others represents agri-
cultural
land,
but
it
also may
include
land
rented
for
residential or other purposes. The tenant is considered to
be the
operator
of
land
leased,
rented,
or worked on
shares, even though the landlord may supervise the oper-
ations. The landlord
is considered to be the operator of
only that portion of the land not assigned to tenants.
Land use—Land
in farms
is categorized according to
the way
it was being used on enumeration day. The land
uses described
in the following paragraphs are mutually
exclusive in that each acre of land
is counted only once,
even though
it may have had more than one use during the
year.
• Cropland used for crops—This
includes
all
land
planted in crops at the time of enumeration. Land was
to be reported only once, even
if two or more crops
were planted on the same land.
It includes field crops
that were grazed when mature or almost mature; land
in
bearing
and
nonbearing
fruit and
nut
trees
or
plants, or any other tree crops; land that had partial
but not total crop failure; and land
in home gardens.
• Cropland not used for crops—This includes all land
that
the
operator
considered
as
cropland
but on
which no crops were planted.
It includes land used for
pasture and
grazing
that the operator
feels could
have been used for crops; land with total crop failure
as a
result
of drought,
flood,
insect,
fire,
or other
causes;
idle and fallow cropland; and cropland with
soil improvement
grass, cover crops,
etc.,
for the
purpose of improvement.
• Pasture
or
grazing land—This
includes
all
land
suitable for pasture or grazing, except land used for
crops and cropland pasture whether or not used for
grazing
livestock.
It also
includes woodland
being
used for pasture.
• Other land—This includes all land that did not qualify
either as cropland or pastureland.
It includes land
in
house and building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, ponds,
swamps,
steep
slopes,
wasteland,
brushland, and
nonpastured woodland.

APPENDIX A
1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
Type of holding—Agricultural operations were classi-
fied according to the response the enumerator obtained
from
the
farm
operator
as
to
whether
the
farm was
producing mainly for home consumption or mainly for sale.
• Holdings producing mainly for home consump-
tion—This applies to holdings from which more than
50 percent of the agricultural output was consumed
by the holder's household.
• Holdings producing mainly for sale—This applies
to holdings from which 50 percent or more
of the
agricultural output was for sale. These holdings were
further classified by the farm operator according to
their most important activity.
If 50 percent or more of
the value was from one of the following, the holding
was named accordingly.
-
Crop holding
is one which the value of sales
from crops was more than 50 percent.
-
Livestock and/or poultry holding is one which
the value of sales from livestock and livestock
products and/or poultry and poultry products
was more than 50 percent.
-
Mixed holding is one which the value of sales
was mainly a combination of sales of crops,
livestock and livestock products, and/or poul-
try and poultry products.
-
Other holding is one which the value of sales
was mainly from the sale of agricultural prod-
ucts not listed
in the previous groups.
Crops harvested—The questionnaire contained
indi-
vidual inquiries for crops commonly grown and space to
write in crops less frequently produced for the year
1 990.
•
Field crops, melons, and vegetables—The number
of acres harvested, the
total quantity of each crop
harvested, the quantity sold, and value of sales during
1989 were to have been reported.
When two or more crops or two or more plantings
of the same crop were harvested from the same land
during
the
year,
the
acres were
to
be
reported
separately for each crop or planting.
•
Fruits and nuts—For fruits grown on farms, informa-
tion was obtained on the total trees both bearing and
nonbearing, that were on the place on enumeration
day. The total quantity harvested, the quantity sold,
and value of sales were for 1989.
• Nursery and ornamental plants—Data
reflect the
number of square feet, acres, and value of sales for
1989.
Livestock and poultry—Data show the number on
hand at the time of enumeration. All livestock and poultry
on the place were counted at the time of the enumeration
regardless of ownership.
Sales data were collected for
all livestock and poultry
sold from the place during
1 989, as well as the dozens of
eggs sold.
"Milk cows" were defined as cows that had been on the
place on the day of enumeration and were milked at any
time during 1989. All other cows were to be included in the
data for "Other cattle and calves."
Equipment—The following types of equipment on the
place at the time of enumeration, regardless of ownership,
were reported as long as they were in operating condition
and used in the farm business.
• Tractors—This
includes
all wheel and
tracklaying
(crawler)
tractors, garden
tractors, and homemade
tractors, other than motor tillers.
• Motortrucks—This includes pickup trucks, truck-trailer
combinations,
jeeps, and
station wagons,
if used
primarily as trucks.
• Automobiles—This includes jeeps and station wag-
ons used primarily as passenger cars.
Facilities—The presence or absence of electricity and/or
piped running water on the place was reported.
• Electricity—This includes electrical power anywhere
on the place including the dwelling of the operator.
• Piped running water—This includes water
in pipe-
lines by a pressure system or by gravity flow from
natural or artificial sources. Water from a hand pump
was not considered to be piped running water.
Operator characteristics—Data were obtained to clas-
sify the operators according to five characteristics.
1
Residence of operator—Farm operators were clas-
sified by residence according to whether or not they
lived on the farms they were operating. Some of
those who did not live on the farms they operated
lived on farms operated by others.
If all the land was
rented from others or worked on shares for others,
the operator was considered to
live on the farm
operated
if the dwelling was included
in the rental
agreement.
In such cases, the dwelling was not
necessarily
on
the
farm
operated.
Similarly,
an
operator who did not
live on the land being
culti-
vated,
but who had some
agricultural operations
(other than a home garden) at his/her dwelling, was
considered to be living on the farm operated.
2. Year began operating present farm—Enumera-
tors were instructed to obtain the year an operator
began
to operate the farm,
i.e., the
first year the
operator took continuous charge
of
the
present
farm or any part of
it.
3. Age of operator—Operators were
classified by
age into six groups. The average age was obtained
by dividing the sum
of the ages of
all operators
reported by the number reported.
1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A
A-3
4. Main occupation— If the operator devoted 50 per-
cent or more of his/her work time to
agricultural
activities, his/her main occupation was considered
to be agriculture, otherwise his/her occupation was
considered nonagricultural.
5. Worl< off farm—Only work by the operator for pay
was to be reported. Days worked off the place were
to
include work
at
another
farm
or a
nonfarm
business, such as a store or repair shop; or at a
profession such as doctor, lawyer, or teacher. Exchange
work or work done by the operator in exchange for
comparable work done by someone else was not to
be reported.
FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED
CHARACTERISTICS
Tables 22 through 25 present detailed data for farms
classified by specified characteristics—tenure of operator,
size
of farm, age
of operator, and value
of agricultural
products sold.
Farms by tenure of operator—Farms were classified
by tenure of operator on the basis of information reported
for land owned, rented from others, or worked on shares
for others. During the processing operations, each ques-
tionnaire was coded to indicate whether the farm operator
was a
full owner, a part owner, or a tenant. The various
classifications of tenure are:
•
Full owners operate only land they own.
•
Part owners operate land they own plus land they
rent from others.
• Tenants only operate the land they rent from others
or work on shares for others.
Farms by size—Farms were classified by size on the
basis
of the
total
land area determined
for each farm.
According to the census definition, a farm is essentially an
operating unit, not an ownership tract. All land operated or
managed by one person
or partnership represents one
farm.
In the case of tenants, the land assigned to each
tenant
is considered a separate farm even though
the
landlord may consider his/her entire land holding to be
one unit rather than several separate units.
Farms by age of operator—Farms were classified by
age of operator on the basis of information reported to the
enumerator
that was entered on the
report form. The
operator's age was classified into one of the age groups
found in table 24.
Farms by value
of
agricultural
products sold—
Farms were classified on the basis of the total value of
agricultural
products
sold.
The
total was
obtained
by
adding the reported values of
all products sold from the
farm. The value of vegetables, field crops, fruits and nuts,
nursery and ornamental plants, livestock, poultry, and eggs
was obtained from the operator at the time of enumeration.
These values were classified into one of the groups found
in table 25.
CENSUS NONSAMPLING ERROR
All data originated from a complete enumeration and,
therefore, are not subject to sampling variability. However,
the data are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling
errors can be attributed to many sources:
•
Inability to
identify
all cases
in the actual universe.
•
Inability or unwillingness on the part of respondents to
provide correct information.
•
Definition and classification difficulties.
•
Differences in the interpretation of questions.
•
Errors in recording or coding the data obtained.
• Other errors of collection, response, coverage, and
estimation for missing or misreported data.
The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by
the
joint effects
of the various nonsampling
errors. No
direct measures
of these
effects have been
obtained;
however, precautionary steps were taken in
all phases of
data collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an
effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.
