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  1 974  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  1987  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

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  1987  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

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  1 982  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  the  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  all  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.

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  this  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  data.  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  1 987  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  form: 

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  harvesters 
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  1 987  Census  of  Agricul- 
ture data  include  the  Agricultural  Atlas  of  the  United  States 
(previously  called  the  Graphic  Summary),  Coverage  Eval- 
uation, Ranking  of  States  and  Counties,  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  3,71 0 
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- 
number- 


842 
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  1987  and  1982  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  pastureland  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  1 0-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  1 987  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  1 987.  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 
1 982,  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  1 987  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  1 987,  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  1 2,000  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  1986  through  May  1987  harvest  sea- 
son. The  data  for  States,  other  than  Florida  and  Texas, 
relate  to  the  quantity  harvested  in  the  1986-87  harvest 
season. 

Avocados — The  data  for  California  relate  to  the  quan- 
tity harvested  in  the  November  1986  through  Novem- 
ber 1 987  harvest  season  and  for  Florida  the  April  1 987 
through  March  1988  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  1986  through  April  1987, 
and  for  Texas  the  cuttings  from  October  1 986  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  1 987  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  Blacl(  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  derived  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  1987,  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  1982. 

Other  fruits  and  nuts— Data  shown  for  other  fruits  and 
nuts  relate  to  any  fruits  and  nuts  not  having  a  specific  code 
on  the  1 987  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  1 987  census  were: 

Full  owners,  who  operate  only  land  they  own. 
1 987  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  1987.  The  principal  occupation  clas- 
sifications used  were: 

Farming — The  operator  spent  50  percent  or  more  of 
his/her  worktime  in  1 987  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  (Oil)— 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.

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.

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  1 987.  Animal  aquacul- 
ture  (0273)  was  established  as  a  new  industry  and  horti- 
cultural specialties,  not  elsewhere  classified  (0189)  was 
deleted. 


A-10    APPENDIX  A 


1987  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE 


APPENDIX  B. 
Places  With  All  Cropland  In  the  Conservation  Reserve 

Program 


The  Food  Security  Act  of  1985  established  the 
Conservation  Reserve  Program  (CRP).  This  program 
provides  annual  payments  for  highly  erodible  cropland 
enrolled  in  the  program  and  meeting  its  conservation 
requirements.  It  also  requires  that  the  land  be  taken  out 
of  agricultural  production  for  1 0  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  figurf  s  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,  all  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

TVP 


SIC 


Acres 


$1  to  $999

$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  10  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  all  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.

Note:  Complete  count  items  are  items  in  sections  1  to  22  of  the  report

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  the  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  1 00  farms  in  the  1 982  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  1982  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  1 987  and  the  1 982  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  1945.  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  all  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

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.  IVIore 
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.
