This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division. 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.

fifth year after 1983 covering the prior year. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sample Estimation
All respondent sample records received a sample weight
The sample data estimates the actual figures that would
have resulted from a complete census of the items in
sections 23 through 28 of the report form. 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
01 All crops
0to69
$1,000 to $2,499
02 All livestock

$2,500 to $ 4,999
$5,000 to $ 9,999
$10,000 to $24,999
$25,000 to $49,999
$50,000 to $99,999
$100,000 or more
The first step in the estimation procedure was to parti-
tion the sample records into 32 mutually exclusive initial
post strata formed by combining the three variable groups.
This produced a three dimensional array where the cells of
the array corresponded to the initial post strata groups.
Each sample farm record was assigned an initial weight
equal to the ratio of the total farm count to the sample farm
count, expanded for nonresponse estimation, for the cell
containing the sample farm. This weight was approxi-
mately equal to the inverse of the probability of selecting a
farm for the census sample.
The second step in the estimation procedure was to
combine, if necessary, the cells of the array (prior to the
repeated ratio estimation) to increase the reliability of the
ratio estimation procedure. Any cell within the array that
either contained less than 1 0 sample farms or had a ratio
of total farms to sample farms that was more than 2 times
the mail sample rate was collapsed with another cell (in the
same variable) according to a specified collapsing pattern.
New total farm counts and sample farm counts were
computed for each of the collapsed cells (final post strata)
and were used in the ratio estimation procedure to calcu-
late final sample weights.
In the third step in the ratio estimation procedure,
complete counts for the three variables (TVP, SIC, acre-
age) were used to compute the marginals of the array
defined by the final post strata. Factors were then applied
to expanded sample totals in each cell of the array to
obtain agreement with the row marginal (TVP) complete
counts. The sample totals then had factors applied to
obtain agreement with the column marginal (SIC) complete
counts. Lastly, the sample totals had factors applied to
obtain agreement with the depth marginal (acreage) com-
plete counts. This procedure that requires the row totals,
then the column totals, and then the depth totals to agree
with the complete counts for the rows, columns, and
depths, respectively, is continued iteratively until the pro-
cess converges (the marginal totals agree with the com-
plete count totals).
The ratio of the adjusted total farm count to the sample
farm count obtained from the second iteration of the
estimation procedure was the noninteger final post stratum
sample weight assigned to the sample farm records in that
post stratum. The noninteger sample weight, the product
of the noninteger final post stratum sample weight and the
nonresponse weight, was randomly rounded to an integer
weight for tabulation. If, for example, the final weight for the
farms in a particular group was 7.2, then one-fifth of the
sample farms in this group were randomly assigned a
weight of 8 and the remaining four-fifths received a weight
of 7.
CENSUS SAMPLING ERROR
Sampling error in the census data results from the
nonresponse sample and the census sample data collec-
tion. Census items were classified as either complete
count or sample data items. The complete count items
were asked of all farm operators. The complete count data
items included land in farms, harvested cropland, livestock
inventory and sales, crop acreages, quantities harvested
and crop sales, land use, irrigation, government loans and
payments, conservation acreage, type of organization, and
operator characteristics (sections 1 through 22 of the
census report form). Variability in the complete count data
items is considerably smaller than in the sample items as
the variation is due only to the nonresponse sample
estimation procedure. The sample items were asked of
approximately 25 percent of the total census farm opera-
tors. The sample data items included farm production
expenditures, fertilizer and chemical usage, farm machin-
ery and equipment, value of land and buildings, and
farm-related income (sections 23 through 28 of the census
report form). Variability in the estimates of sample items is
due both to the census sample selection and estimation
procedure and the nonresponse sample estimation proce-
dure.
The sample for the 1987 Census of Agriculture is one of
a large number of 'possible samples of the same size that
could have been selected using the same sample design.
Estimates derived from the different samples would differ
from each other. The difference between a sample esti-
mate and the average of ail possible sample estimates is
called the sampling deviation. The standard error or sam-
pling error of a survey estimate is a measure of the
variation among the estimates from all possible samples,
and thus is a measure of the precision with which an
estimate from a particular sample approximates the aver-
age result of all possible samples. The percent relative
standard error of estimate is defined as the standard error
of the estimate divided by the value being estimated
multiplied by 100. If all possible samples were selected,
each of the samples were surveyed under essentially the
same conditions, and an estimate and its standard error
were calculated from each sample, then:
1 . Approximately 67 percent of the intervals from one
standard error below the estimate to one standard
error above the estimate would include the average
value of all possible samples.
2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1 .65
standard errors below the estimate to 1 .65 standard
errors above the estimate would include the aver-
age value of all possible samples.
1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX C C-3
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.

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 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.

4. If You Never Farmed or Have No Association With Agriculture
Please write a note on the report form near the address label explaining
this and return the form so that we can correct our records. In our
efforts to make the census as complete as possible, we obtained lists

Complete a report form for EACH SEPARATE and DISTINCT
production unit, i.e., each individual farm, ranch, feedlot, greenhouse,
etc., or combination of farms, etc., for which you maintain SEPARATE

6. If You Have a Partnership Operation
Complete only ONE report for the entire partnership's agricultural
operation and include all partners' shares on the one report. If
members of the partnership also operate separate farms or ranches in
addition to the partnership farming operation, separate report forms
should be completed for each individual operation.
If two or more report forms were received for the same operation, mark
each additional form as a "Duplicate." Return the duplicate report(s) in
the same envelope with the completed partnership report, where
possible, or write a note on the duplicate report, such as. " {Name of
partner) has completed a report for the partnership (provide name and
CFN of partnership.)"
7. Landlord's or Contractor's Share
