This  report  was  prepared  in  the  Agriculture  Division.  Many 
divisions  participated  in  the  various  activities:  Decennial  Planning 
coordinated  the  agriculture  census  data  collection  in  conjunction 
with  the  1990  Census  of  Population  and  Housing;  Economic 
Programming  prepared  the  computer  programs  and  designed  the 
computer  system;  Geography  developed  the  field  maps;  Admin- 
istrative and  Publication  Services  provided  the  forms  design, 
publication  planning  and  design,  editorial  reviews,  composition, 
and  printing  procurement.  The  census  program  was  conducted

Representatives  of  the  Government  of  American  Samoa 
made  significant  recommendations  which  helped  establish  data 
content  and  provided  valuable  advice  during  the  planning  stages 
of  the  census. 

Special  tribute  is  paid  to  the  many  farm  operators  who 
furnished  the  information  requested.  Only  through  their  cooper- 
ation was  it  possible  to  collect  and  publish  the  data  in  this  report.

HISTORY 

The  1 990  Census  of  Agriculture  for  American  Samoa  is 
the  eighth  census  to  be  fallen  by  the  U.S.  Department  of 
Commerce,  Bureau  of  the  Census.  The  first  agriculture 
census  was  taken  in  1920  as  part  of  the  decennial  census 
of  population  and  has  continued  every  10  years. 

USES  OF  THE  CENSUS 

The  census  of  agriculture  is  the  recognized  source  of 
Statistics  about  American  Samoa's  agricultural  production 
and  the  only  source  of  consistent,  comparable  data  at  the 
district  level.  Census  statistics  are  used  to  measure  agri- 
cultural production  and  to  identify  trends  in  an  ever  chang- 
ing agricultural  sector.  Many  local  programs  use  census 
data  as  a  benchmark  for  designing  and  evaluating  surveys. 
Private  industry  uses  census  statistics  to  provide  a  more 
effective  production  and  distribution  system  for  the  agricul- 
tural community. 


old  farm  definition  used  in  previous  censuses,  which 
defined  a  farm  as  having  a  minimum  number  of  livestock, 
poultry,  fruit  or  nut  trees,  or  any  crops  or  vegetables 
harvested  for  sale. 

COMPARABILITY  OF  DATA 

Data  comparability  has  been  maintained  in  chapter  2 
which  contains  the  1 980  data  along  with  the  comparable 
1990  data.  Dollar  figures  shown  for  agricultural  product 
sales  only  apply  under  the  new  farm  definition  in  chapter  1 . 

TABULAR  PRESENTATION 

Island  data— Chapter  1 ,  tables  1  through  8  and  chapter 
2,  tables  1  through  7  show  detailed  data  for  American 
Samoa.  Chapter  1 ,  tables  22  through  25  show  1 990  data 
cross  tabulated  by  tenure  of  operator,  size  of  farm,  age  of 
operator,  and  value  of  agricultural  products  sold. 

District  and  county  data— Data  for  districts  and  coun- 
ties are  presented  in  chapter  1,  tables  9  through  21  and  in 
chapter  2,  tables  8  through  1 8. 

SPECIAL  TABULATIONS 

Custom  designed  tabulations  are  available  to  individual 
user  specifications  on  a  programming  cost  reimbursable 
basis.  Inquiries  about  special  tabulations  should  be  directed 
to  the  Chief,  Agriculture  Division,  Bureau  of  the  Census, 
Washington,  DC  20233. 


AUTHORITY  AND  AREA  COVERED 

The  census  of  agriculture  is  required  by  law  under  Title 
13,  United  States  Code,  sections  142(a)  and  191.  The 
census  of  agriculture  in  American  Samoa  is  conducted 
every  10  years  in  conjunction  with  the  census  of  population 
and  housing. 

FARM  DEFINITION 


CENSUS  DISCLOSURE  RULES 

In  keeping  with  the  provisions  of  Title  13,  United  States 
Code,  no  data  are  published  that  would  disclose  the 
operations  of  an  individual  farm.  However,  the  number  of 
farms  in  a  given  size  category  or  other  classification,  such 
as  size  of  farm,  is  not  considered  a  release  of  confidential 
information  and  is  provided  even  though  other  information 
such  as  crop  production,  number  of  livestock,  and  sales  is 
withheld. 


The  statistics  presented  relate  to  places  qualifying  as 
census  farms.  Chapter  1  uses  the  new  farm  definition, 
developed  by  the  Census  Bureau  and  the  Government  of 
American  Samoa,  which  defines  a  farm  as  any  place  from 
which  $100  or  more  of  agricultural  products  were  sold  or 
normally  would  have  been  sold  during  the  census  year. 
Chapter  2  provides  comparable  1 990  data  according  to  the 


INVENTORIES,  PRODUCTION,  AND  SALES 
DATA 

Inventories  of  livestock,  poultry,  and  fruit  and  nut  trees 
or  plants  are  determined  by  the  number  on  hand  on  the 
day  of  enumeration.  Crop  production  and  sales,  as  well  as 
livestock  sales,  are  for  the  calendar  year.

the  population  and  housing  censuses.  On  the  last  page  of 
the  population  and  housing  questionnaire  was  an  agricul- 
ture screening  section.  The  enumerator  was  required  to 
complete  an  agriculture  questionnaire  when  a  "yes"  answer 
was  received  to  any  one  of  the  five  screening  questions. 

Questionnaire 

The  questionnaire  for  the  1 990  Census  of  Agriculture  in 
American  Samoa  was  prepared  by  the  Agriculture  Division, 
Bureau  of  the  Census,  in  cooperation  with  the  Government 
of  American  Samoa. 

The  content  of  the  1 990  census  questionnaire  is  similar 
to  the  1 980  questionnaire.  Quantity  sold  and  value  of  sales 
were  added  to  the  crops  and  livestock  sections.  Other 
additions  and  deletions  were  made  based  on  discussions 
with  the  Government  of  American  Samoa  and  with  respect 
to  published  tables  in  the  1980  census. 

Followup  Procedures 

An  enumerator  was  instructed  to  visit  a  farm  up  to  three 
times.  If  no  one  was  available  to  complete  the  question- 
naire, the  case  would  then  be  given  to  the  supervisor.  If  all 
attempts  to  obtain  the  information  from  the  farm  operator 
failed,  the  information  might  then  be  obtained  from  a 
neighbor  or  by  observation  of  the  place. 

DATA  PROCESSING 

The  processing  was  done  in  the  Agriculture  Division  at 
the  Bureau  of  the  Census.  Each  questionnaire  was  edited 
and  coded  prior  to  being  keyed  and  tabulated.  The  ques- 
tionnaires were  examined  for  accuracy,  consistency,  and 


completeness.  Errors  in  computations  and  in  units  of 
measure,  inconsistencies,  and  misplaced  entries  were 
corrected.  Incomplete  reports  were  adjusted  on  the  basis 
of  related  information  on  the  same  form  or  on  question- 
naires for  nearby  farms  of  similar  type  and  size. 

After  all  questionnaires  had  been  reviewed,  the  data 
were  keyed  and  subjected  to  a  detailed  item-by-item 
computer  edit.  The  edit  performed  comprehensive  checks 
for  completeness  and  consistency.  Inconsistencies  identi- 
fied by  the  edit  were  corrected  by  subject  matter  special- 
ists, and  reedited.  The  data  were  then  tabulated  by  the 
computer  for  analysis.  Following  necessary  corrections, 
the  data  were  retabulated  for  final  publication. 

MAJOR  DATA  CHANGES 

Prior  to  each  agriculture  census,  the  Bureau  of  the 
Census  reviews  the  content  of  the  census  forms  to  elimi- 
nate questions  no  longer  needed,  identify  new  items 
necessary  to  meet  user  needs,  and  to  better  describe  the 
agriculture  situation  in  American  Samoa.  Data  requests  are 
solicited  from  government  agencies  in  American  Samoa. 
The  following  changes  were  made  to  the  1 990  question- 
naire: 

•  Additions: 

-  Information  on  landlords 

-  Green  beans 
Melons 

-  Ornamental  plants  or  nursery  crops 

-  Chicken  eggs  value 

-  Quarts  of  milk 

-  Quantity  sold  and  value  of  sales  in  the  crops 
and  livestock  sections 

•  Deletions: 

Green  peas 

-  Green  peppers 
Fishery  section 

The  word  "matai"  was  changed  to  "communal"  to 
reflect  the  cultural  change  in  land  holdings.

Land  owned— This  includes  all  land  held  by  the  opera- 
tor or  his/her  spouse  under  title,  purchase  contract,  or  as 
heir  or  trustee  of  an  undivided  estate  at  the  time  of 
enumeration.  Land  managed  by  a  hired  manager  also  was 
considered  owned.  Communal  land  is  the  land  which  is 
owned  by  the  extended  family. 

Land  rented  from  others— This  includes  not  only  land 
that  the  operator  rented  or  leased  from  others,  but  also 
land  worked  on  shares  for  others  and  land  used  rent  free. 


DEFINITIONS  AND  EXPLANATIONS 

The  following  definitions  and  explanations  provide  a 
more  detailed  description  of  terms  used  in  this  publication 
than  are  available  in  the  tables  or  on  the  questionnaire.  For 
an  exact  wording  of  the  questions  on  the  1 990  question- 
naire, see  appendix  B. 

In  the  tables,  data  for  land  in  farms,  land  use,  fruit  and 
nut  trees,  and  livestock  and  poultry  on  hand  represent  the 
situation  existing  at  the  time  of  enumeration  of  each  farm. 
The  enumeration  for  the  1 990  Census  of  Agriculture  began 
in  April  1990  and  the  1980  census  in  April  1980.  All  other 
data,  such  as  that  relating  to  acres  and  production,  are  for 
the  calendar  years  1 989  and  1 979.  Sales  are  for  1 989  only. 

Farm  operator— The  term  "operator"  designates  a 
person  who  operates  a  farm,  either  by  doing  the  work 
himself/herself  or  directly  supervising  the  work.  The  oper- 
ator may  be  the  owner,  a  member  of  the  owner's  house- 
hold, a  tenant  or  renter,  the  manager,  or  the  person  in 
charge  of  an  institutional  farm.  For  communal  lands,  the 
person  in  charge  is  considered  as  the  operator  of  land 
used  for  the  benefit  of  the  extended  family  group.  An 
individual  member  of  the  family  group  who  raised  crops  or 
kept  livestock  or  poultry  for  his/her  own  account  on 
communal  land  was  considered  to  be  the  operator  of  the 
land  so  assigned.  By  definition,  the  number  of  farm  oper- 
ators is  the  same  as  the  number  of  farms. 

Farms  or  farms  reporting — The  term  "farms"  or  "farms 
reporting"  in  the  presentation  of  data  denotes  the  number 
of  farms  reporting  the  item. 

Land  in  farms— The  land  in  farms  was  determined  from 
the  answers  to  questions  1  through  4  in  section  1  of  the 
questionnaire  (see  app.  B).  The  amounts  of  land  reported 
as  owned  and  rented  from  others  were  added  together, 
and  the  amount  of  land  reported  as  rented  to  others  was 
subtracted  from  that  sum.  The  result  represents  "land  in 
farms."  Although  the  area  designated  land  in  farms  con- 
sists primarily  of  agricultural  land,  i.e.— land  used  for  crops, 
pasture,  or  grazing— it  also  included  areas  of  land  not 
actually  under  cultivation  nor  used  for  pasture  or  grazing. 
For  example,  woodland  and  wasteland  owned  or  rented 
from  others  were  included  as  land  in  farms  unless  the 
report  indicated  it  was  being  held  for  nonagricultural  pur- 
poses, such  as  recreational  or  for  timber. 


Land  rented  to  others— This  includes  all  land  the 
operator  rented  or  leased  to  others  and  all  land  assigned 
to  others  on  shares  or  rent  free  during  the  past  year.  For 
the  most  part,  the  land  rented  to  others  represents  agri- 
cultural land,  but  it  also  may  include  land  rented  for 
residential  or  other  purposes.  The  tenant  is  considered  to 
be  the  operator  of  land  leased,  rented,  or  worked  on 
shares,  even  though  the  landlord  may  supervise  the  oper- 
ations. The  landlord  is  considered  to  be  the  operator  of 
only  that  portion  of  the  land  not  assigned  to  tenants. 

Land  use — Land  in  farms  is  categorized  according  to 
the  way  it  was  being  used  on  enumeration  day.  The  land 
uses  described  in  the  following  paragraphs  are  mutually 
exclusive  in  that  each  acre  of  land  is  counted  only  once, 
even  though  it  may  have  had  more  than  one  use  during  the 
year. 

•  Cropland  used  for  crops— This  includes  all  land 
planted  in  crops  at  the  time  of  enumeration.  Land  was 
to  be  reported  only  once,  even  if  two  or  more  crops 
were  planted  on  the  same  land.  It  includes  field  crops 
that  were  grazed  when  mature  or  almost  mature;  land 
in  bearing  and  nonbearing  fruit  and  nut  trees  or 
plants,  or  any  other  tree  crops;  land  that  had  partial 
but  not  total  crop  failure;  and  land  in  home  gardens. 

•  Cropland  not  used  for  crops— This  includes  all  land 
that  the  operator  considered  as  cropland  but  on 
which  no  crops  were  planted.  It  includes  land  used  for 
pasture  and  grazing  that  the  operator  feels  could 
have  been  used  for  crops;  land  with  total  crop  failure 
as  a  result  of  drought,  flood,  insect,  fire,  or  other 
causes;  idle  and  fallow  cropland;  and  cropland  with 
soil  improvement  grass,  cover  crops,  etc.,  for  the 
purpose  of  improvement. 

•  Pasture  or  grazing  land— This  includes  all  land 
suitable  for  pasture  or  grazing,  except  land  used  for 
crops  and  cropland  pasture  whether  or  not  used  for 
grazing  livestock.  It  also  includes  woodland  being 
used  for  pasture. 

•  Other  land — This  includes  all  land  that  did  not  qualify 
either  as  cropland  or  pastureland.  It  includes  land  in 
house  and  building  lots,  lanes,  roads,  ditches,  ponds, 
swamps,  steep  slopes,  wasteland,  brushland,  and 
nonpastured  woodland. 


A-2    APPENDIX  A 


1987  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE 


Type  of  holding— Agricultural  operations  were  classi- 
fied according  to  the  response  the  enumerator  obtained 
from  the  farm  operator  as  to  whether  the  farm  was 
producing  mainly  for  home  consumption  or  mainly  for  sale. 

•  Holdings  producing  mainly  for  home  consump- 
tion— This  applies  to  holdings  from  which  more  than 
50  percent  of  the  agricultural  output  was  consumed 
by  the  holder's  household. 

•  Holdings  producing  mainly  for  sale — This  applies 
to  holdings  from  which  50  percent  or  more  of  the 
agricultural  output  was  for  sale.  These  holdings  were 
further  classified  by  the  farm  operator  according  to 
their  most  important  activity.  If  50  percent  or  more  of 
the  value  was  from  one  of  the  following,  the  holding 
was  named  accordingly. 

-  Crop  holding  is  one  which  the  value  of  sales 
from  crops  was  more  than  50  percent. 

-  Livestock  and/or  poultry  holding  is  one  which 
the  value  of  sales  from  livestock  and  livestock 
products  and/or  poultry  and  poultry  products 
was  more  than  50  percent. 

-  Mixed  holding  is  one  which  the  value  of  sales 
was  mainly  a  combination  of  sales  of  crops, 
livestock  and  livestock  products,  and/or  poul- 
try and  poultry  products. 

-  Other  holding  is  one  which  the  value  of  sales 
was  mainly  from  the  sale  of  agricultural  prod- 
ucts not  listed  in  the  previous  groups. 

Crops  harvested — The  questionnaire  contained  indi- 
vidual inquiries  for  crops  commonly  grown  and  space  to 
write  in  crops  less  frequently  produced  for  the  year  1 990. 

•  Field  crops,  melons,  and  vegetables— The  number 
of  acres  harvested,  the  total  quantity  of  each  crop 
harvested,  the  quantity  sold,  and  value  of  sales  during 
1989  were  to  have  been  reported. 

When  two  or  more  crops  or  two  or  more  plantings 
of  the  same  crop  were  harvested  from  the  same  land 
during  the  year,  the  acres  were  to  be  reported 
separately  for  each  crop  or  planting. 

•  Fruits  and  nuts— For  fruits  grown  on  farms,  informa- 
tion was  obtained  on  the  total  trees  both  bearing  and 
nonbearing,  that  were  on  the  place  on  enumeration 
day.  The  total  quantity  harvested,  the  quantity  sold, 
and  value  of  sales  were  for  1989. 

•  Nursery  and  ornamental  plants— Data  reflect  the 
number  of  square  feet,  acres,  and  value  of  sales  for 
1989. 

Livestock  and  poultry— Data  show  the  number  on 
hand  at  the  time  of  enumeration.  All  livestock  and  poultry 
on  the  place  were  counted  at  the  time  of  the  enumeration 
regardless  of  ownership. 


Sales  data  were  collected  for  all  livestock  and  poultry 
sold  from  the  place  during  1 989,  as  well  as  the  dozens  of 
eggs  sold. 

"Milk  cows"  were  defined  as  cows  that  had  been  on  the 
place  on  the  day  of  enumeration  and  were  milked  at  any 
time  during  1989.  All  other  cows  were  to  be  included  in  the 
data  for  "Other  cattle  and  calves." 

Equipment— The  following  types  of  equipment  on  the 
place  at  the  time  of  enumeration,  regardless  of  ownership, 
were  reported  as  long  as  they  were  in  operating  condition 
and  used  in  the  farm  business. 

•  Tractors— This  includes  all  wheel  and  tracklaying 
(crawler)  tractors,  garden  tractors,  and  homemade 
tractors,  other  than  motor  tillers. 

•  Motortrucks— This  includes  pickup  trucks,  truck-trailer 
combinations,  jeeps,  and  station  wagons,  if  used 
primarily  as  trucks. 

•  Automobiles— This  includes  jeeps  and  station  wag- 
ons used  primarily  as  passenger  cars. 

Facilities— The  presence  or  absence  of  electricity  and/or 
piped  running  water  on  the  place  was  reported. 

•  Electricity— This  includes  electrical  power  anywhere 
on  the  place  including  the  dwelling  of  the  operator. 

•  Piped  running  water— This  includes  water  in  pipe- 
lines by  a  pressure  system  or  by  gravity  flow  from 
natural  or  artificial  sources.  Water  from  a  hand  pump 
was  not  considered  to  be  piped  running  water. 

Operator  characteristics— Data  were  obtained  to  clas- 
sify the  operators  according  to  five  characteristics. 

1 .  Residence  of  operator— Farm  operators  were  clas- 
sified by  residence  according  to  whether  or  not  they 
lived  on  the  farms  they  were  operating.  Some  of 
those  who  did  not  live  on  the  farms  they  operated 
lived  on  farms  operated  by  others.  If  all  the  land  was 
rented  from  others  or  worked  on  shares  for  others, 
the  operator  was  considered  to  live  on  the  farm 
operated  if  the  dwelling  was  included  in  the  rental 
agreement.  In  such  cases,  the  dwelling  was  not 
necessarily  on  the  farm  operated.  Similarly,  an 
operator  who  did  not  live  on  the  land  being  culti- 
vated, but  who  had  some  agricultural  operations 
(other  than  a  home  garden)  at  his/her  dwelling,  was 
considered  to  be  living  on  the  farm  operated. 

2.  Year  began  operating  present  farm— Enumera- 
tors were  instructed  to  obtain  the  year  an  operator 
began  to  operate  the  farm,  i.e.,  the  first  year  the 
operator  took  continuous  charge  of  the  present 
farm  or  any  part  of  it. 

3.  Age  of  operator— Operators  were  classified  by 
age  into  six  groups.  The  average  age  was  obtained 
by  dividing  the  sum  of  the  ages  of  all  operators 
reported  by  the  number  reported. 


1987  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE 


APPENDIX  A    A-3 


4.  Main  occupation— If  the  operator  devoted  50  per- 
cent or  more  of  his/her  work  time  to  agricultural 
activities,  his/her  main  occupation  was  considered 
to  be  agriculture,  otherwise  his/her  occupation  was 
considered  nonagricultural. 

5.  Worl<  off  farm— Only  work  by  the  operator  for  pay 
was  to  be  reported.  Days  worked  off  the  place  were 
to  include  work  at  another  farm  or  a  nonfarm 
business,  such  as  a  store  or  repair  shop;  or  at  a 
profession  such  as  doctor,  lawyer,  or  teacher.  Exchange 
work  or  work  done  by  the  operator  in  exchange  for 
comparable  work  done  by  someone  else  was  not  to 
be  reported. 

FARMS  CLASSIFIED  BY  SPECIFIED 
CHARACTERISTICS 

Tables  22  through  25  present  detailed  data  for  farms 
classified  by  specified  characteristics — tenure  of  operator, 
size  of  farm,  age  of  operator,  and  value  of  agricultural 
products  sold. 

Farms  by  tenure  of  operator — Farms  were  classified 
by  tenure  of  operator  on  the  basis  of  information  reported 
for  land  owned,  rented  from  others,  or  worked  on  shares 
for  others.  During  the  processing  operations,  each  ques- 
tionnaire was  coded  to  indicate  whether  the  farm  operator 
was  a  full  owner,  a  part  owner,  or  a  tenant.  The  various 
classifications  of  tenure  are: 

•  Full  owners  operate  only  land  they  own. 

•  Part  owners  operate  land  they  own  plus  land  they 

rent  from  others. 

•  Tenants  only  operate  the  land  they  rent  from  others 

or  work  on  shares  for  others. 

Farms  by  size— Farms  were  classified  by  size  on  the 
basis  of  the  total  land  area  determined  for  each  farm. 
According  to  the  census  definition,  a  farm  is  essentially  an 
operating  unit,  not  an  ownership  tract.  All  land  operated  or 
managed  by  one  person  or  partnership  represents  one 
farm.  In  the  case  of  tenants,  the  land  assigned  to  each 


tenant  is  considered  a  separate  farm  even  though  the 
landlord  may  consider  his/her  entire  land  holding  to  be 
one  unit  rather  than  several  separate  units. 

Farms  by  age  of  operator — Farms  were  classified  by 
age  of  operator  on  the  basis  of  information  reported  to  the 
enumerator  that  was  entered  on  the  report  form.  The 
operator's  age  was  classified  into  one  of  the  age  groups 
found  in  table  24. 

Farms  by  value  of  agricultural  products  sold— 

Farms  were  classified  on  the  basis  of  the  total  value  of 
agricultural  products  sold.  The  total  was  obtained  by 
adding  the  reported  values  of  all  products  sold  from  the 
farm.  The  value  of  vegetables,  field  crops,  fruits  and  nuts, 
nursery  and  ornamental  plants,  livestock,  poultry,  and  eggs 
was  obtained  from  the  operator  at  the  time  of  enumeration. 
These  values  were  classified  into  one  of  the  groups  found 
in  table  25. 


CENSUS  NONSAMPLING  ERROR 

All  data  originated  from  a  complete  enumeration  and, 
therefore,  are  not  subject  to  sampling  variability.  However, 
the  data  are  subject  to  nonsampling  errors.  Nonsampling 
errors  can  be  attributed  to  many  sources: 

•  Inability  to  identify  all  cases  in  the  actual  universe. 

•  Inability  or  unwillingness  on  the  part  of  respondents  to 
provide  correct  information. 

•  Definition  and  classification  difficulties. 

•  Differences  in  the  interpretation  of  questions. 

•  Errors  in  recording  or  coding  the  data  obtained. 

•  Other  errors  of  collection,  response,  coverage,  and 
estimation  for  missing  or  misreported  data. 

The  accuracy  of  these  tabulated  data  is  determined  by 
the  joint  effects  of  the  various  nonsampling  errors.  No 
direct  measures  of  these  effects  have  been  obtained; 
however,  precautionary  steps  were  taken  in  all  phases  of 
data  collection,  processing,  and  tabulation  of  the  data  in  an 
effort  to  minimize  the  effects  of  nonsampling  errors.

a .  Any  land  used  in  owner-like  possession  for  the  benelrt  of  the 
extended  family  should  be  reported  as  land  owned  under 
section  1 ,  question  1 .  If  the  land  is  used  for  the  sole  benefit  of 
the  operator  rather  than  the  extended  family,  report  the  land 
under  section  1 ,  question  2  on  a  separate  questionnaire. 

b.  Any  land  used  to  w/hich  t'rtle  or  right  of  ownership  is  not  held,  should  be 
reported  as  land  rented  FROM  OTHERS  under  section  1 ,  question  2.  Do 
this  even  though  no  rent  is  paid  to  the  owner  of  this  land. 

c.  Any  land  to  which  tha  title  is  held  or  o^vnership  claimed,  which  is 
used  by  a  nonmember  of  the  extended  family,  should  be  reported  as 
land  rented  TO  OTHERS  under  section  1 ,  question  3.  Do  this  even 
though  no  rent  is  paid  by  the  nonmember.  In  such  cases,  a  separate 
agriculture  questionnaire  should  be  completed  for  the  lands  reported 
under  section  1 ,  question  3  in  the  name  of  the  person  in  charge.

tories, and  other  characteristics  of  farms.

level  estimates  on  the  completeness  of  the  census,  in  terms  of 
both  the  number  of  farms  missed  and  selected  characteristics  of 
those  farms.

ranking  of  the  top  20  States  and  the  top  100  counties  of 
importance  of  selected  items  from  the  1 987  census.  Comparative 
data  from  the  1982  census  are  included  in  most  tables.  Tables 
also  show  cumulative  totals  for  States  and  counties. 


History  (AC87-S-4)  is  a  concise  description  of  the  major 
census  operations  together  with  facsimiles  of  selected  data 
tables.  It  explains  the  history  of  the  agriculture  census,  farm 
definition,  data  collection  and  processing,  and  dissemination  of 
census  data. 

Government  Payments  and  Market  Value  of  Agricultural 
Products  Sold  (AC87-S-5)  shows  detailed  data  for  farms  cross- 
tabulated  by  combined  market  value  of  agricultural  products  sold

digit  ZIP  Code  for  selected  items  from  the  1987  census.  Data 
items  include  number  of  farms,  land  in  farms,  farms  by  size,

assets  for  both  farm  operators  and  landlords.  This  report  also 
includes  measures  of  credit  used  for  purchases  and  expendi- 
tures, debt  by  type  of  lender,  assets,  off-farm  income,  and  other 
land  ownership  data.
