ACKNOWLEDGMENTS— Many persons participated in conducting the
1982 Census of Agriculture. Primary direction was by Shirley Kallek,
Associate Director for Economic Fields (to May 1983), Charles A. Waite,
her successor, and Michael G. Farrell, Assistant Director for Economic
and Agriculture Censuses.
This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division under the general
supervision of Orvin L. Wilhite, Chief (to January 1980); Arnold L.
Bollenbacher, Chief (to June 1982); and John H. Berry, Chief (from
July 1982).
Many divisions contributed to this report. Data Preparation per-
formed the clerical processing; Administrative Services provided the
forms design and other administrative services; Publications Services
contributed in publication planning and design, editorial review, com-
position, and printing procurement; Computer Services provided the
computer processing facilities; Field provided selected data collection
activities; and Economic Surveys assisted in preparation of data collec-
tion and processing procedures and computer programs.
Members of the Census Advisory Committeeon Agriculture Statistics
and representatives of both public and private organizations made signifi-
cant recommendations which helped establish data content.
Members of various agencies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture
provided valuable advice in the planning, publicizing, and processing
phases of the census, and in helping farmers and ranchers complete the
report forms.
The press, farm magazines, radio and television stations, and farm
organizations were most helpful in publicizing the census and encour-
aging cooperation of farm and ranch operators.
Special tribute is paid to the millions of farm and ranch operators
who furnished the information requested. Only through their cooperation
was it possible to collect and publish the data in this report.

HISTORY
The census of agriculture provides a periodic statistical pic-
ture of the Nation's farming, ranching, and related activities.
The 1982 Census of Agriculture is the 22d 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 agri-
culture was taken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976,
Congress authorized the census of agriculture to be taken for
1978 and 1982 to adjust the data reference year to coincide
with the 1982 Economic Censuses covering manufacturing,
mining, construction, retail trade, wholesale trade, service in-
dustries, and selected transportation activities. After 1982, the
agriculture census will revert to a 5-year cycle and be taken
covering years ending in 2 and 7.
USES OF THE CENSUS
The census of agriculture is the leading source of statistics
about the Nation's agriculture and the only source of con-
sistent, comparable data about agriculture 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
affecting agriculture 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 statis-
tics to provide a more effective production and distribution
system for the farm 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
the census be taken in 1979, in 1983, and in every fifth year
after 1983 covering the prior year. The 1982 census includes
each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the
United States.
FARM DEFINITION
Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for
census purposes were first established, the farm definition has
been changed nine times. The current definition, first used for
the 1974 final reports, is any place from which $1,000 or more
of agricultural products were sold or normally would have been
sold during the census year. The previous definition (used for
the 1959, 1964, and 1969 censuses, and for the 1974 pre-
liminary reports) was any place with less than 10 acres from
which $250 or more of agricultural products were sold or
normally would have been sold during the census year, or
any place of 10 acres or more from which $50 or more of agri-
cultural products were sold or normally would have been
sold during the census year.
COMPARABILITY OF DATA
All censuses since 1969 were conducted primarily by mail.
To improve the coverage of the 1978 census, especially in
counting the number of small farms, the mailout/mailback
enumeration was supplemented by the direct enumeration
of all households in approximately 6,400 sample segments in
rural areas in all States, except Alaska and Hawaii. Due to
budget reductions, the direct enumeration area sample was
eliminated for 1982.
The U.S. region, and State data for 1978 shown in the 1978
Census of Agriculture publications included data for farms re-
presented on the mail list plus estimates from the area sample
for farms not on the mail list. The 1978 county data included
only farms represented on the mail list as the sample was not
large enough to provide reliable estimates for each county.
To provide comparable data for 1982 and 1978, estimates
from the 1978 area sample have been subtracted from the 1978
data. Thus, the 1978 data in this report include only farms re-
presented on the mail list. Appendix B includes a detailed dis-
cussion of the effect of the area sample on census compa-
rability.
In general, data for 1982, 1978, and 1974 are not fully com-
parable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses due to changes
in the farm definition. Data on acreages and inventories for
1982 and 1978 are generally comparable. Dollar figures shown
for expenses and agricultural product sales have not been
adjusted for changes in price levels between census years.
TABULAR PRESENTATION
State data— In chapter 1, State tables 1 through 43 show de-
tailed State level data usually accompanied by historical data
for one or more past censuses. Tables 44 through 50 provide
1982 State data cross-tabulated by various farm classifications.
County data— Selected data items are presented by county in
chapter 2. Tables 1 through 16 include general data for all
counties. The counties are listed in alphabetical order in the
1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
INTRODUCTION V
column headings. In tables 17 through 36, only counties re-
porting the data item are included in the table stub. Counties
not having the item, or with a limited number of farms re-
porting the item, are not listed separately. Data for these
counties are combined and presented as "all other counties."
PRELIMINARY REPORTS
Preliminary reports have been published separately for each
county with 10 farms or more in 1982, each State, and the
United States. This series provided, at the earliest possible date,
information on major data items together with comparable
final data from the 1978 census. The data items were standard
except in tables 4 and 5 where the selected crops varied by
State according to their relative importance.
For farms, land in farms, livestock inventories, and other
major items at the county level, differences between the pre-
liminary and final figures are generally less than 5 percent. At
the State level, differences are significantly less.
MICROFICHE AND COMPUTER TAPES
The data in this report and final data for individual counties
are available on microfiche. The final microfiche county tables
have the same format as the county preliminary report. Also,
computer tapes are available for the same summary statistics
that are found in the preliminary and volume 1 reports. Micro-
fiche reports are sold by the Superintendent of Documents,
U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
Computer tapes are sold by the Customer Services Branch, Data
User Services Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington,
D.C. 20233.
Inquiries about the availability and cost of unpublished tabula-
tions should be directed to the Chief, Agriculture Division,
Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233.
CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES
In keeping with the provisions of title 13, United States
Code, no data are published that would disclose the operations
of an individual farm. However, the number of farms in a given
size category or other classification is not considered a dis-
closure, so this' information may be given even though other
information is withheld.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
Appendix A includes definitions and explanations of selected
terms used in the tables.
"SEE TEXT" REFERENCE
Items in the tables which are followed by the reference
"see text" are explained or defined in appendix A.
INVENTORIES, PRODUCTION, AND SALES DATA
Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and equip-
ment are as of December 31 of the census year. Crop and live-
stock production, sales, and expense data are for the calendar
year, except for a few crops (such as citrus) for which the pro-
duction year overlaps the calendar year.

TAKING THE CENSUS
Method of Enumeration
All censuses beginning with the 1969 census have been con-
ducted primarily by mail. The 1978 census was the only census
to include a mailout/mailback enumeration supplemented by
the direct interview of all households in a sample of area seg-
ments. This combination of the mailout/mailback enumeration
plus the area sample was used in 1978 to improve complete-
ness of coverage for U.S., regional, and State level agriculture
census statistics. Due to budget reductions, the area sample was
eliminated in 1982.
In censuses prior to the 1969 census, enumerators were as-
signed to specific areas and called on all farm operators within
each area. Beginning with the 1950 census, copies of the report
form were mailed prior to the enumeration date to each box-
holder served by post offices in predominantly rural areas and
farmers were asked to complete the forms and have them ready
for the enumerator to pick up.
The mailout/mailback enumeration procedure was not used
in taking the agriculture census in Puerto Rico, Guam, and the
Virgin Islands. A discussion of the direct enumeration methods
used there appears in the reports for these outlying areas. A
description of the special direct enumeration of citrus care-
takers is included in the Definitions and Explanations section.
Mail List
The mail list for the 1982 census was comprised of all in-
dividuals, businesses, and organizations that could be readily
identified as being associated with agriculture. The list was as-
sembled from the records of the 1978 census and administra-
tive records of various government agencies, primarily the
Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of Agri-
culture (USDA).
Lists of large or specialized operations, such as nurseries,
specialty crop farms, broiler growers, fish farms, livestock
farms, and cattle feedlot operations, were obtained from State
and Federal agencies, trade associations, and similar organi-
zations. Lists of multiestablishment companies having one or
more establishments (or locations) producing agricultural pro-
ducts were obtained from the 1978 census and updated using
information from the Standard Statistical Establishment List
maintained by the Census Bureau.
A preliminary census mail list was assembled using names
and addresses from the 1978 census and administrative source
lists available in September 1981. Those records which were
less likely to be farms were included in the 1982 Farm and
Ranch Identification Survey. Approximately 3 million farm and
ranch forms were mailed in March 1982 to names which ap-
peared on only one source list or selected combinations of lists
which had yielded a low percentage of farm operators in the
1978 census. As a result of this survey, nonfarm names and
addresses were deleted from the census mail list, new tenant
and successor operations were added, and the names, addresses,
and size information were updated for the identified active farm
operators.
The final census mail list was developed using results of the
1982 Farm and Ranch Identification Survey, names and ad-
dresses from the unduplicated preliminary list that were re-
tained without precensus verification, and new or updated
source lists acquired after the preliminary unduplication. The
preliminary and final census mail lists were both constructed
by merging and unduplicating the names and addresses from the
various source lists on the basis of Employer Identification num-
bers, Social Security numbers, and names and addresses. To faci-
litate processing, each name on the administrative source lists
was assigned a geographic code indicating the State and county
location of the operation and a size code indicating an estimated
value of sales. Most duplicates were identified and resolved
prior to mailing. Other duplicate names were either reported
by respondents or located during office processing.
Report Forms
In 1982, 12 regional report form versions were used. These
forms were tailored primarily in sections 2 through 8 to list
crops commonly produced in one or more States, and in sec-
tion 15 to list livestock specialties produced. These modi-
fications were made to enhance reporting of crop and live-
stock data and to reduce respondent burden.
Two report form versions were used to minimize the re-
porting burden, particularly for small farms. Approximately
75 percent of all farms received the 4-page nonsample form
covering major items such as land use, crops, livestock and
poultry, market value of agricultural products sold, and
operator characteristics. The 5-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. The sample form contained all the items asked on the
nonsample form plus the sample items (sections 22 through 28).
The sample form and the information sheet appear in appen-
dix C. The Statistical Adjustments section of this appendix
includes a discussion of the criteria used to determine whether
the sample or nonsample form was to be mailed to addressees.
1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A A-1
Initial Mailing
The report forms were mailed in late December 1982 to the
approximately 3,653,000 individuals, businesses, and organiza-
tions on the mail list. The information sheet containing in-
structions for completing the form and a brochure explain-
ing the uses of the census data were included with each report
form. Additional special instructions were included with re-
port forms sent to grazing associations; feedlot operations; in-
stitutional organizations; and producers of poultry under con-
tract, bees and honey, fish, laboratory animals, worms, and
nursery and greenhouse products.
In an effort to provide additional help to farmers in com-
pleting their reports, copies of an Agriculture Census Guide
booklet were sent to county agricultural agencies, institutions,
or businesses to whom farmers might turn for help. Included
were vocational agriculture instructors, and USDA county
offices— Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service,
Farmers Home Administration, Soil Conservation Service, and
Cooperative Extension Service. This guide contained descrip-
tions and definitions for various 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 if requested.
Followup Procedures
The data collection effort included a reminder card and five
followup letters, two of which were accompanied by a report
form. Followup reminders were sent to nonrespondents on a
flow basis at 3- to 4-week intervals starting in late February and
continuing until late June 1983. In early April 1983, an addi-
tional followup letter was sent to nonrespondents in low
response counties in 14 States.
Telephone calls were made to nonrespondents who were
expected to have large operations (those with expected sales
of $100,000 or more) or who were located in low response
counties. 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 Statistical
Adjustments section.
DATA PROCESSING
Selected report forms were reviewed prior to keying the data
onto magnetic tape. These included reports with attached corre-
spondence, and reports with remarks or no positive data on the
front page. All new successors reported by former operators
were researched to see if they had already been included in the
census mailing. Report forms were mailed to successor addresses
not located on the mail file. This processing improved the
coverage of the census.
The data for each report form were subjected to a detailed
item-by-item computer edit. The edit performed comprehensive
checks for consistency and reasonableness, 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. Significant computer-
generated changes to the data were reviewed and verified.
In the computer edit, farms with sales, acreage, or com-
modities exceeding specified levels were tested for historical
comparability. Key items, such as acreage and sales, were com-
pared for significant changes between 1978 and 1982. Sizeable
historical differences were resolved or verified, by telephone if
necessary.
Respondents who reported sales or acreage above specified
levels on nonsample forms were sent correspondence requesting
the additional sample data. Report forms with reported sales
of $1,000,000 or more or 30,000 acres or more, and other
selected problem reports were reviewed by statisticians in the
Agriculture Division. Problems that could not be resolved by
reference to other information on the report were resolved by
contacting the respondents by telephone or correspondence.
Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed by
statisticians to identify any inconsistencies and potential cover-
age problems. Comparisons were made with previous census
data, estimates published by the USDA and other available
check data. Selected report forms were reviewed and problem
entries were either verified as being correct or the data were
corrected.
MAJOR DATA CHANGES
The content of the 1982 census report form is similar to
that of the 1978 form. To limit respondent burden, the 1978
and 1982 forms included only data items needed at the county
level, either on a complete or sample basis. The 1978 census
data items which were eliminated from the 1982 form include:
Land held under foreign ownership
Gallons purchased of gasoline; diesel fuel; LP gas, butane
and propane; and fuel oil
Animal health costs for livestock and poultry
The following new data items were added to the 1982 re-
port form:
Interest expense for the farm business
Source of irrigation water
Year in which the operator began to operate the farm
More extensive data on Commodity Credit Corporation
(CCC) loans were collected in 1982.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
The following definitions and explanations provide a more
detailed description of the terms used in this publication than
are available in the tables or on the report form. For an exact
wording of the questions on the 1982 census report forms and
the information sheet which accompanied these forms, see
appendix C.
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 re-
porting" in the presentation of data denotes the number of
farms reporting the item. For example, if there are 3,710
farms in a State and 842 of them had 28,594 cattle and
calves, the data for those farms reporting cattle and calves
would appear as:
Cattle and calves
. . . . farms. .842
number. .28,594
Land in farms— The acreage designated in the tables as "land in
"farms" consists primarily of agricultural land used for crops,
pasture, or grazing. It also includes woodland and wasteland not
A-2 APPENDIX A
1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
actually under cultivation or used for pasture or grazing, pro-
vided it was part of the farm operator's total operation. Large
acreages of woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural
purposes were deleted from individual reports during the pro-
cessing operations.
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. Grazing land operated
by grazing associations was to be reported by the person
chiefly responsible for conducting the business of the associa-
tion. All land in Indian reservations 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
shown for 1982 represents the total land area as determined by
records and calculations updated as of January 1, 1983. The
county land areas were remeasured in 1980. The previous
county measurements were done in 1940. Any differences be-
tween the land area in 1982 and 1978 are due to these new
measurements, 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 pro-
duced. It was usually the county containing all or the largest
proportion of the land in the farm or viewed by the respon-
dent 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 1978
census as having more than one farm unit. Other reports re-
ceived showing land in more than one county were separated
into two or more reports if the data would significantly 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 respondent's estimate of what
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.
Harvested cropland— This category includes land from which
crops were harvested or hay was cut, and land in orchards,
citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from
which two or more crops were harvested was counted only
once, even though there was more than one use of the land.
Cropland used only for pasture or grazing— This category in-
cludes land used only for pasture or grazing that could have
been used for crops without additional improvement, and all
land planted in crops that were grazed before the crops reached
maturity. Also included was all cropland used for rotation pas-
ture and land in government diversion programs that were
pastured. However, cropland that was pastured after crops were
harvested was not to be included.
Other cropland— This category includes cropland used only for
soil improvement crops, land on which all crops failed, culti-
vated 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,
and land planted for Christmas tree production. Land covered
by sagebrush or mesquite was to be reported as other pasture-
land and rangeland or other land.
Woodland pastured— This category includes all woodland used
for pasture or grazing during the census year. Woodland or
forest land pastured under a per-head grazing permit was not
counted as land in farms and therefore was not included in
woodland pastured.
Other land— This category includes land in house lots, barn lots,
ponds, roads, wasteland, etc. In 1974, for farms with sales of
less than $2,500, this category included pastureland and range-
land other than cropland and woodland pastured in addition to
land in house lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, and wasteland.
Land set aside in federal farm programs— This land includes land
diverted or set aside under the provisions of the Federal Com-
modity Acreage Reduction 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
conservation uses. No information was obtained as to which
crops would have been grown on the acres set aside.
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.
Operator— The term "operator" designates a person who oper-
ates a farm, either doing the work or making day-to-day de-
cisions about such things as planting, harvesting, feeding,
marketing, etc. The operator may be the owner, a member of
the owner's household, a salaried 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 partnerships, only one partner is counted as an operator.
If there is no clear-cut partner 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 actu-
ally in charge of the farm operations.
Operator characteristics— Data on characteristics such as resi-
dence, race, Spanish origin, age, sex, principal occupation, and
off -farm work were collected from all operators in 1982. If
1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A A-3
operator characteristics of race, age, sex, and principal occu-
pation were not reported, they were derived based on infor-
mation reported by farms with similar acreage size, tenure,
and sales size. No imputations were made for nonresponse
to place of residence, Spanish origin, off-farm work, or year
began operation. For the 1982 and 1978 censuses, operators
of Spanish origin were tabulated by reported race. Prior cen-
suses included Spanish origin as "White" whenever separate
data for the White race were shown.
Selected farm production expenses— Since only selected pro-
duction expenses incurred in 1982 were requested, the ex-
pense data cannot be used in combination with gross sales
to calculate net cash farm income. The 1979 Farm Finance
Survey provided estimates on net cash farm income.
In 1982, as in other recent censuses, operators producing
crops, livestock, or poultry under contract frequently failed
to report certain expenditure data. They often were unable
or unwilling to estimate the cost of production inputs fur-
nished by the contractors. As a consequence, the rate of impu-
tation of expenditure data for these operations is considerably
higher than it is for noncontract producers.
Commercial fertilizer- The expense for commercial ferti-
lizer is the amount spent on fertilizer during 1982, ex-
cluding the cost of application. Some fertilizer purchased
in 1982 may not have been applied during the year. If the
fertilizer was applied by someone other than the operator,
respondents were requested to report the cost of applica-
tion as an expense for customwork, machine hire, and ren-
tal of machinery and equipment.
Other agricultural chemicals— These expenses include the
cost of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other
pesticides, excluding costs of application. Data exclude
commercial fertilizer purchased. The cost of lime is included
in the 1978 data, but excluded from 1982.
Customwork, machine hire, and rental of machinery and
equipment— These expenses include costs incurred for
having customwork done on the place and for renting ma-
chines to perform agricultural operations. The cost of cotton
ginning is excluded. The cost of labor involved in the custom-
work service is included in the customwork expense. The
cost of labor for operating rented or hired machinery is in-
cluded as a hired farm and ranch labor expense.
Interest expense— Only the interest expense for the farm
business was to be reported. Although instructions requested
that interest on the owner/operator dwelling be excluded
when separate records were available, it is probable that an
undetermined amount of such nonfarm business interest was
also reported.
Energy and petroleum products— Respondents were asked to
report only those expenses pertaining to the operation of
the farm business.
Storage capacity— This category applies to those farms reporting
expenditures for the specific kind of fuel. The storage capacity
was to be reported even if not used during the census year.
Farms with storage capacity reported as "no"— This category
includes farm operators with expenditures for a specific kind
of fuel who also checked the "none" box for storage capacity.
See appendix C, section 26, Expenditures for Energy.
Market value of agricultural products sold— This category repre-
sents the gross market value before taxes and production ex-
penses of all agricultural products sold or removed from the
place in 1982 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
operation. In addition, it includes the loan value received in
1982 for placing commodities in the CCC loan program. This
ensures comparability with prior census years for market value
of agricultural products sold.
The value of agricultural products sold represents total sales
of all crops, including nursery products sold, and livestock,
poultry, and their products sold. It does not include income
from farm-related sources such as customwork or agricultural
services, or income from nonfarm sources. Sales of forest prod-
ucts were not included in 1978 or 1982; but were included in
1974.
The value of crops sold in 1982 does not necessarily repre-
sent the sales from crops harvested in 1982. Data may include
sales from crops produced in earlier years and exclude some
crops produced in 1982, 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 only the total value received in 1982.
The value of agricultural products sold was collected from all
operators. If the operator failed to report, estimates were made
based on the amount of crops harvested or the number of live-
stock or poultry sold. Extensive estimation was required for
operators growing crops or livestock under contract.
Caution should be used when comparing sales in 1982 with
sales reported in earlier censuses due to the fluctuations in per-
unit prices between census years.
Income from machine work, customwork, and other agri-
cultural services— This category consists of gross income re-
ceived during 1982 by farm operators for providing services for
others such as planting, plowing, spraying, harvesting, etc. In-
come from machine work and other agricultural services is
generally included in the agriculture census if it is supplement-
al to the farming operation. However, it is excluded if it
constitutes a separate establishment or is conducted from an-
other location. The agricultural services part of a farming
operation was generally considered a separate establishment
when income from agricultural services was $10,000 or more
and greater than the value of agricultural products sold. Due to
legislative restrictions, data for establishments primarily en-
gaged in agricultural services were not collected in 1982.
Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer and lime— For
each type of agricultural chemical, the acres treated were to be
reported only 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 agri-
culture census. Production in salt water is considered not to be
in captivity and is excluded from the census. The value of fish
and other aquacultural products sold and laboratory animals
A-4 APPENDIX A
1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
sold is included in the category "other livestock and livestock
products."
Bees and honey— Bee and honey production was enumerated
and tabulated in the county in which the home farm was lo-
cated even though hives are often moved from farm to farm
over a wide geographic area. The completeness and accuracy
of these data are affected by the fact that some bee operations
may not have been on the mail list and some operators on the
mail list may not have considered beekeeping to be an agri-
cultural operation, and therefore did not report.
Citrus enumeration— In the 1982 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 complete the census report. Each citrus care-
taker was enumerated as a farm operator and requested to com-
plete 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 caretaker was also
requested to inform the grove owner that he had already re-
ported for the citrus under his care and that the grove owner
was not to report the citrus again. In the 1982 census, 8 care-
takers in Arizona reported 210 grove owners having 13,000
acres of citrus; the 99 caretakers in Florida reported 5,900
grove owners having 250,000 acres of citrus; and 21 caretakers
in Texas reported 1,500 grove owners having 30,000 acres of
citrus.
Crop year or season covered— Acres and quantity harvested are
for the calendar year 1982 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 1981 through July 1982 harvest
season, except limes that were harvested in the April 1982
through March 1983 harvest season. The data for Texas
relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1981
through May 1982 harvest season. The data for States, other
than Florida and Texas, relate to the quantity harvested in
the 1981-82 harvest season.
Avocados— The data for California relate to the quantity
harvested in the November 1981 through November 1982
harvest season and for Florida the April 1982 through
March 1983 harvest season.
Olives— The data for California relate to the quantity har-
vested in the September 1981 through March 1982 harvest
season.
Vegetables— The data for Florida relate to the crop harvested
in the September 1981 through August 1982 harvest season.
Sugarcane for sugar— The data for Florida relate to the cut-
tings from November 1981 through April 1982, and for
Texas the cuttings from October 1981 through April 1982.
Pineapples— the data for Hawaii relate to the quantity har-
vested in the year ending May 31, 1982.
Coffee-The data for Hawaii relate to the 1981-82 crop.
Acres and quantity harvested— Crops were reported in whole
acres, except for the following crops which were reported in
10ths of acres: Irish potatoes, sweetpotatoes, tobacco, fruit and
nut crops including land in orchards, berries, vegetables, and
nursery and greenhouse products; and in Hawaii, taro, ginger
root, and lotus root. Totals for crops reported in 10ths 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 ex-
ceeds the acres of cropland harvested. The 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 crop or silage would be reported
for each applicable crop. For interplanted 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— crop-
land 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 to be reported as cropland pasture.
Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as vege-
tables; nursery and greenhouse products; 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.
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 re-
ported in a unit of measure different than the unit of measure
published, the quantity harvested was converted to the pub-
lished 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 are published in
pounds.
1982 CENSUSOF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A A-5
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 as-
signed 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 prooer coding, most of
these respondents were telephoned. Reports for those not
telephoned were changed on the basis of other reports for the
area.
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 corrected. Reports with significant acres
of unusual crops for the area were examined to minimize the
possibility that they were in error.
Changes in crop wording— Changes were made to the wording of
selected crop items on the 1982 census forms. These items are
listed with the wording used in 1978. The 1982 and 1978 data
are comparable for all items, except improved pecans and wild
and seedling pecans which were combined.
Dry edible beans, excluding dry limas-The 1978 wording
was "dry field and seed beans."
Dry edible peas— The 1978 wording was "dry field and seed
peas". Dry edible peas exclude Austrian winter peas, wrin-
kled seed peas, and southern peas or cowpeas.
Green cowpeas and green southern peas; cowpeas and south-
ern peas for dry peas— The wording for these items was
changed for 1982 to include the term "southern peas," a
more common term for cowpeas.
Honey tangerines- The 1978 wording was "murcotts.".
Other tangerines— The 1978 wording was "tangerines and
mandarins."
Pecans— The 1978 categories "improved pecans" and "wild
and seedling pecans" have been combined into "pecans" for
1982.
"See text" References
Items in the tables which carry the note "See text" are ex-
plained or defined in this section.
Data are based on a sample of farms— For 1982 and 1978, selec-
ted data were collected from only a sample of farms. These data
are subject to sampling error. For 1982, the 5-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 22 through 28 of the 1982 census forms
include inquiries on commercial fertilizer and lime, chemicals,
interest expense, machinery and equipment, expenditures for
energy and petroleum products, selected production expenses,
and value of land and buildings. Estimates of the reliability of
county totals for selected items are shown in table E.
Principal source of irrigation water— The acres irrigated by
principal source were derived based on reported percentages
of water obtained by source. See appendix C for an example
of section 11, Land Irrigated. When irrigation water was ob-
tained from two or more sources, the acres irrigated were
included only once under the source from which the largest
percentage of water was obtained.
1974 data apply only to individual or family operations (sole
proprietorships) and partnerships— For 1974, farm operator
characteristics were not collected from corporations, coopera-
tives, prison farms, grazing associations, and Indian reservations.
For 1982 and 1978, characteristics and occupation of the senior
partner or person in charge were collected from all farms.
Farms operated by Black and other races— This category in-
cludes Blacks, American Indians, Asian and Pacific Islanders,
and all other racial groups other than White.
All other races- This category is primarily limited to persons
native to or of ancestry from Mexico, the Caribbean, and Cen-
tral and South America.
Farms reporting no interest expense— This category includes
only reports without dollars reported and the "no" box checked
for the yes/no screening question in section 24. See appendix
C for an example of section 24, Interest Expense.
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 products, and hay. Respondents
were asked to include landlords' and contractors' shares. As in
prior census years, the value of commodities placed in CCC
loans are included as sold. Sales of forest products were not
included in 1978 or 1982. The 1974 data included sales of
forest products from those places qualifying as farms through
other agricultural production.
Farms with sales of less than $2,500-ln 1982 and 1978, this
category included all farms, except abnormal farms, with ac-
tual sales of less than $2,500. In 1974, farms with sales of less
than $2,500 but having the production potential for sales of
$2,500 and over are included in the category "$2,500 to
$4,999."
Farms with sales of less than $1,000— This category includes all
farms, except abnormal farms, with actual sales of less than
$1,000 but having the production potential for sales of $1,000
or more.
Abnormal farms— This category includes institutional farms,
experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. In-
stitutional farms include those operated by hospitals, peni-
A-6 APPENDIX A
1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
tentiaries, churches, schools, grazing associations, government
agencies, etc. In prior censuses, a number of nongovernmental
units such as church farms and FFA camps were classified as
abnormal farms. In 1982, such nongovernmental units were
classified as abnormal farms only when 50 percent or more
of their products produced and intended for human consump-
tion were utilized bv the organization.
Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals
for human consumption— This category represents the value
of agricultural products produced and sold directly to in-
dividuals for human consumption from roadside stands, farm-
ers' markets, pick-your-own sites, etc. It excludes nonedible
products such as nursery products, cut flowers, wool, etc. Sales
of agricultural products by vertically integrated operations
through their own processing and marketing operations were
excluded.
Other livestock and livestock products— This category 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 ob-
tained primarily from data published by the Statistical Re-
porting 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
during the year and placed or sold. Incubator egg capacity on
December 31, 1982, is tabulated under the column heading In-
ventory and the number of poultry hatched is under the heading
Sales.
Worms-Worm inventory consists of the number of standard
worm beds in production. A standard worm bed is considered
to be 24 cubic feet. Sales of worms are shown in pounds. Sales
of worm castings are included in other livestock products
sold.
Hay-alfalfa, other tame, small grain, wild, grass silage, green
chop, etc.— Data shown for hay represent all hay crops, in-
cluding grass silage, haylage, and hay crops cut and fed green
(green chop). In production data, dry tons represent dry
tonnage for the various hay categories and dry weight equiva-
lents 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, lespe-
deza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudan grass, and other types of
legume and tame grasses.
Grass silage, haylage, and green chop hay-The 1978 categories
"grass silage and haylage" and "hay crops cut and fed green
(green chop)" have been combined into "grass silage, hay-
lage, and green chop hay" in 1982.
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 fresh weight. The conversion
used was 4.3 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 quan-
tities of plums and prunes harvested have been converted to
pounds fresh weight. The conversion used was 3 pounds fresh
weight to 1 pound dry weight.
Almonds- In 1982, the quantity of almonds harvested was re-
ported in pounds of meats. For 1978, the quantity harvested
was reported in the shell.
Other fruits and nuts— Data shown for other fruits and nuts
relate to any fruits and nuts not having a specific code on the
1982 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 vegetables harvested
is the summation of the acres of individual vegetables harvested.
All of the individual vegetable items may not be shown.
Nursery and greenhouse products grown for sale— These data are
a summation of the individual items reported. All of the individ-
ual items may not be shown.
Other grains— These data are for the total market value of other
grains sold including dry edible beans, dry lima beans, buck-
wheat, cowpeas and southern peas for dry peas, emmer and
spelt, flaxseed, mixed grains, lentils, mustard seed, dry edible
peas, popcorn, proso millet, rice, rye for grain, safflower, sun-
flower seed, triticale, and wild rice.
Value of crop production— This item represents the estimated
value of all crops harvested during the 1982 crop year. Data for
the value of crops harvested were obtained by multiplying the
average estimated value per unit by the reported acres or quan-
tity 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 in most part from publications of
the Statistical Reporting Service, USDA. When 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 knowledgeable about specific crops.
FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED
CHARACTERISTICS
State tables 44 through 50 present detailed 1982 data for all
farms classified by specified characteristics— tenure of operator,
type of organization, age and principal occupation 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.
1982 CENSUSOF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A A-7
Farms by value of agricultural products sold or value of sales-ln
1982, all farms except abnormal farms were tabulated by size
based on reported sales. Thus, the category "farms with sales
of $2,500 to $4,999" included only farms with actual sales of
$2,500 to $4,999. Abnormal farms were not tabulated based
on actual or potential sales. The category "farms with sales of
less than $1,000" included all farms, except abnormal farms,
with actual sales of less than $1,000 but having the production
potential for sales of $1,000 or more.
The sales size categories have been changed to be consistent
with the standard business size categories issued by the Office
of Management and Budget in 1982. Sales size categories
"$100,000 to $249,999" and "$250,000 to $499,999" are used
in this report; whereas, sales size categories "$100,000 to
$199,999" and "$200,000 to $499,999" were used in prior
censuses. In State table 11 and county table 3, the 1978 census
data have been retabulated into the new sales size categories.
Farms by tenure of operator— The classifications of tenure used
in the 1982 census were:
Full owners, who operate only land they own.
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 by type of organization— All farms were classified by
type of organization in the 1982 census. The classifications used
were:
Individual or family operation (sole proprietorship), ex-
cluding partnership and corporation.
Partnership operation, including family partnership.
Corporation, including family corporation.
Other, such as cooperative, estate or trust, institutional
farm, etc.
Corporations were subclassified by two additional charac-
teristics into:
a. Family held
Other than family held
b. More than 10 stockholders
10 or less stockholders
Farms by age and principal occupation of operator-Data on age
and principal occupation were obtained from all operators in
1982. The principal occupation classifications used were:
Farming— The operator spent 50 percent or more of h'^er
worktime in 1982 in farming or ranching.
Other-The operator spent more than 50 percent of his/her
worktime in 1982 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 1982, all agri-
cultural production establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries,
greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity or activities
using the standard industrial classification (SIC) system. These
classifications, found in the 1972 SIC Manual 1 , are used to
promote uniformity and comparability in the presentation of
statistical data collected by various agencies.
An establishment primarily engaged in crop production
(major group 01) or livestock production (major group 02) is
classified in the 4-digit industry and 3-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
agricultural products of an establishment is less than 50 percent
from a single 4-digit industry, but 50 percent or more from the
products of two or more 4-digit industries within the same 3-
digit industry group, the establishment is classified in the mis-
cellaneous 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.
Characteristics of all farms by selected SIC groupings are
shown in State tables 15 and 50. The SIC groupings shown in
State table 50, together with the associated products (value
of sales representing 50 percent of more of the value of agri-
cultural products sold during the year) on which the classi-
fication is based, are as follows:
Cash grains (01 1)— Wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, barley, buck-
wheat, cowpeas, dry field and seed beans and peas, emmer,
field seeds, flaxseed, lentils, mustard seed, oats, popcorn, rye,
safflower, sorghum, and other small grains.
Cotton (0131) -Cotton and cottonseed.
Tobacco (0132)- Tobacco.
Sugar crops, Irish potatoes, hay, peanuts, and other field
crops (0133, 0134, 0/39^-Sugarcane, sugar beets, Irish
potatoes, alfalfa, broomcorn, clover, flax, hay, hops, mint,
peanuts, sweetpotatoes, and timothy.
Vegetables and melons (0/6V-Vegetables and melons grown
in the open.
Fruits and tree nuts (01 7) -Berries, grapes, tree nuts, citrus
fruits, deciduous tree fruits, avocados, dates, figs, olives,
pineapples, and tropical fruit.
Horticultural specialties (018)— Ornamental plants; nursery
products, such as bulbs, florists' greens, flowers, shrubbery,
flower and vegetable seeds and plants, and sod; mushrooms
and vegetables grown under cover.

ticultural specialties, but less than 50 percent of sales from
any single 3-digit industry group. Includes farms with no
agricultural products sold reporting cropland harvested or
cropland on which all crops failed.
Livestock, except dairy, poultry, and animal specialties
(021)-Catt\e, calves, hogs, sheep, goats, goat's milk, wool,
and mohair.

group. Includes farms with no agricultural products sold
reporting livestock or pasture.
STATISTICAL ADJUSTMENTS
The 1982 Census of Agriculture used two types of statis-
tical adjustments— nonresponse and sample. These adjustments
were necessary because, as noted previously, not all farms were
surveyed for all items and some farms failed to respond to the
numerous attempts to contact them.
Nonresponse
Farms for which no response was obtained from the mailout/
mailback self-enumeration procedure were classified as "large"
or "small" based on expected sales being above or below
$100,000. The small nonrespondents were classified even further
using other mail list characteristics.
A short report form was then sent to a sample selected from
the various classifications of small farms to obtain information
needed to develop a State estimate of the number of nonre-
spondents that were in fact farms. If this second report form was
not returned, then a telephone follow-up was attempted.
For all large farms, a telephone follow-up was conducted.
Some operators could not be contacted or they refused
to cooperate. In these cases, secondary sources such as
ASCS county offices, extension agents, and previous census
reports were utilized whenever possible to provide reports for
tabulation.
State estimates of the percentage of nonrespondent farms
were made for several strata. These estimates were then used to
make estimates at the county level for each stratum. Respondent
farms were then randomly selected within county stratum to
represent the nonrespondent farms by having a nonresponse
weight of two. All other respondent farms had a nonresponse
weight of one.
The nonresponse adjustment procedure makes the assump-
tion that the respondents and the nonrespondents have similar
statistical properties. Also, the use of secondary sources for
some large farms and the fact that a percentage of the sampled
farms were not contacted by either mail or telephone is assumed
not to affect the estimates for nonrespondents.
Table A partially measures the effect of nonresponse on
selected major items at the State level. This estimate of the non-
response rate measures only the effect of small whole farm
nonresponse. The effect of the adjustment for nonresponse
due to complete nonresponse among large farms and item
nonresponse among all farms is not included in table A. The
percentages in table A indicate the potential for bias in pub-
lished figures resulting from small farm nonresponse. However,
large farm nonresponse does not necessarily indicate bias.
Individual county nonresponse rates may differ substantially
from the State value in table A.
Sample
Report forms containing additional sample inquiries (sec-
tions 22 through 28) were mailed to all farms in Alaska and
Hawaii and to a sample of farms identified when the mail list
was constructed. Other farms were selected into the sample
with certainty because they were expected to be "large," to
have a complex organizational structure, or to have special
characteristics. The definition of large varied by State, from a
low of 1,000 acres or $100,000 sales to a high of 10,000 acres
or $500,000 sales. The median State level for the continental
United States was 1,800 for acres and $150,000 for sales.
Large farms identified during processing also were included with
certainty by sending the respondents a supplemental form con-
taining only sample questions. In addition to large farms, all
farms in counties containing less than 100 farms in 1978 and
all farms in SIC groups with a small number of farms at the
State level in 1978 were included in the sample with certainty.
Farms in counties containing 100 to 199 farms in 1978 were
sampled at a rate of 1 in 2. Farms in counties containing 200 or
more farms in 1978 were sampled at a rate of 1 in 6.
The noncertainty samples were stratified into 1 28 strata
formed by the 8 sales groups, 8 SIC groups, and 2 acre groups.

This post -stratification was done to improve precision and to
reduce the bias in all estimates by weighting the sample farms
within stratum by the ratio of total farms to sample farms. If
the calculated weight was greater than 12 in counties sampled
at a rate of 1 in 6, or greater than 4 in counties sampled at a
rate of 1 in 2, then the post-stratum was collapsed into another
post-stratum. Collapsing of post-stratum also occurred if the
stratum contained fewer than 10 sample farms.

Estimates were prepared for items in sections 22 through 28
of the report form by multiplying the data item for each farm in
the sample by the sample weight assigned the farm. The weight
for a certainty farm was 1. Sample weights for the final post-
strata ranged from 1 to 24 because all exact weights (census
total number of farms divided by the number of sample farms
in the stratum) were converted to integers by a simple algorithm
and then multiplied by 1 or 2 (the nonresponse weight).
NONSAMPLING ERRORS
Each census or survey is subject to error. In addition to
sampling variability, errors arise from nonsample sources such
as incorrect or incomplete reporting, processing, and the in-
ability to obtain a report from each eligible reporting unit. For
example, an operator may report the number of hogs and pigs
sold but may not report the value of the sale. In other cases,
the respondent indicated the presence of an item but not the
quantity. The accuracy of a census count is determined by the
joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors. Thus, extensive
efforts were made to keep errors introduced during clerical and
electronic processing to a minimum level through the use of
quality control, verification, and check measures on specific
operations.
CENSUS COVERAGE
Although a complete and accurate count of farms, land in
farms, and farm production is the aim of each nationwide
census of agriculture, the complex structure of America's agri-
culture makes this difficult to achieve. Among the complexi-
ties are the many places to be included, the variety of arrange-
ments under which farms are operated, the continuing changes
in the relationship of operators to the farm operated, the
expiration of leases and the initiation or renewal of leases, the
problem of obtaining a complete list of agricultural operations,
the difficulty of locating and identifying some types of farms,
the operator's absence from the farm during the data collection
period, and the operator's opinion that part or all of the opera-
tion does not qualify and should not be included in the census.
An evaluation of coverage has been conducted for each
census of agriculture since 1945. Although the primary purpose
of these evaluations is to identify problem areas and supply
evidence as a basis for improvements, they also provide users of
census data with estimates of the completeness of the census
counts. The results of the coverage evaluation study were pub-
lished for the 1978 census in Volume 5, Special Reports, part 3.
An evaluation of coverage was conducted in 1982 to measure
the extent of the undercount and overcount of farms in the
census. A description of this evaluation will be in a separate
Coverage Evaluation report. This report includes estimates of the
net percentage of all farms, acres, and sales missed in the census.
Classification Problems
In 1978, the proportion of farms missed due to misclassifica-
tion (1.8 percent) was higher for farms with small values of
sales. The rate of misclassification was higher on (1) crop farms
than livestock farms, (2) farms with a small number of acres
than larger farms, or (3) tenant farms than full or part-owner
farms. Full owners were misclassified more often than part
owners. Farm operators over 55 years of age were misclassi-
fied more often than younger operators.
An evaluation study of classification errors was conducted
in the 1982 Census of Agriculture and will be reported in
Coverage Evaluation. A sample of mail list respondents was
selected, and these addresses reenumerated to determine
whether they were a farm or nonfarm. Two types of errors were
identified; missed farms and overcounted farms. Missed farms
were farm operations included on the mail list but classified in
the census as nonfarms. Overcounted operations were non-
farm operations classified in the census as farms.
Mail List Problems
A major problem with the use of a mail list is the failure to
include all farms on the list. In 1978, approximately 10.8 per-
cent of all farms were not included on the census mail list.
There were several reasons for the farm operator's names not
being included on the mail list— the operation may have been
started after the mail list source was developed; the operation
may not have been included on any source list used to con-
struct the mail list; or the operation may have been removed
from the list because of incorrectly identifying duplicates or
falsely classifying it as a nonfarm prior to maMout.
A areat manv of the farms not included on the mail list were
small in both acres and sales. The operator in many cases had
a full time off-farm job and farmed part time. In 1978, the
average size of farms and sales for all farms and farms not on
mail list is given below.

RELIABILITY OF CENSUS ESTIMATES
The sources of possible sampling and nonsampling errors
have been previously discussed. Some sources affected all the
data; others affected only certain items or geographic levels. The
results of these errors, bias and increased variability, are difficult
to measure.
Census items were classified as either 100-percent or sample
items. The 100-percent items were those asked of all farm
operators. These included land in farms, harvested cropland,
livestock inventory and sales, and crop acreages and quantities
(sections 1 to 21 of the census report form). Variability in the
100-percent items is due to the variation associated with non-
response imputation and response error. Estimation of this
variation results in a standard error of an estimate originating
in the selection of the sample of small nonrespondents at the
State level. Sample items were items asked of approximately
1 in 4 farm operators and include value of land and building,
value of farm machinery, energy expenses, and selected farm
production expenses, such as hired farm labor and interest
expense (sections 22 to 28 of the census report form). Varia-
bility in estimates of sample items is the effect of the sample
selection and estimation procedure and all the factors affecting
the variability of 100-percent items.
In the 1982 Census of Agriculture, the sample used is one of
a large number of all possible samples of the same size that
could have been selected using the same sample design. Esti-
A-10 APPENDIX A
1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
mates derived from the different samples would differ from
each other. The difference between a sample estimate and the
average of all possible samples is called the sampling deviation.
The standard or sampling 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 average result of
all possible samples. The relative standard error of estimate
(percent) is defined as the standard error of the estimate divided
by the value being estimated.
As calculated for this report, the standard error of the esti-
mate (percent) partially measures the effect of certain non-
sampling errors but does not measure any systematic biases
in the data. Bias is the difference, averaged over all possible
samples, between the estimate and the desired value. The
accuracy of a survey result depends on both the sampling and
nonsampling errors measured by the relative standard error of
the estimate (percent) and the bias and other types of non-
sampling error not measured.
If all possible samples were selected, each of those surveyed
under essentially the same conditions, and an estimate and its
estimated standard error were calculated from each sample
then:
a. 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.
b. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from two
standard errors below the estimate to two standard
errors above the estimate would include the average
value of all possible samples.
To illustrate the computations involved in the above confi-
dence statements as related to average value of land and build-
ing estimates, assume that an estimate of a average value of land
and buildings published for a particular county is $276,741 and
the relative standard error of the estimate (percent) for this
estimate, as given in table D, is 2.8 percent, or 0.028. Multi-
plying $276,741 by 0.028 yields $7,749. Therefore, a 67-
percent confidence interval is $268,992 to $284,490 (i.e..
$276,741 plus or minus $7,749). 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 complete
enumeration. Similarly, a 95-percent confidence interval is
$261,243 to $292,239 (i.e., $276,741 plus or minus
2x $7,749).
Tables B and C present the reliability of the estimates of
the number of farms reporting a 100-percent or sample item
at the county level. Both tables contain relative standard
errors of estimate (percent) which were weighted over all
counties in the State to arrive at an estimated value. In county
table 12, for example, in column 2 the number of farms
reporting hog and pig inventory is 30. From table B, an approxi-
mate relative standard error of estimate (percent) for the num-
ber of farms reporting hogs and pigs would be 1 .0.
Table D presents State estimates of major items for all farms
and for all farms with sales of $10,000 or more and measures
of their reliability. The estimate and the relative standard error
of the estimate (percent) is given for selected 100-percent and
sample items. The relative standard error of the estimate (percent)
measures the variation associated with the small whole farm
nonresponse adjustment. It does not measure census variability
associated with complete nonresponse among large farms, partial
or item nonresponse among all farms, response error or content
error. The relative standard error of estimate (percent) for
sample items measures both nonsampling and sampling error. It
measures the variation associated with selecting a sample to
estimate sample items as well as variability associated with
adjustment for small farm nonresponse. The reliability of
county estimates may vary substantially from each other and
will usually be larger than the State estimate.
Table E presents the estimate of reliability at the county
level for four major 100-percent items and six sample items. The
relative standard error of the estimate (percent) for the same
item differs among counties in a State. Reasons for this are:
(1) differences among counties in the total number of farms,
(2) the number of large farms included with certainty, (3) the
size classifications of farms sampled, (4) the amount of non-
response, (5) the general agricultural characteristics, and (6)
the specific characteristic being measured.

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A A-13
APPENDIX B.
Effect of the Area Sample on Census Comparability
The 1982 and 1978 Censuses were conducted
primarily by mail. Despite every effort to assemble a
complete list, a small portion of the Nation's farms were
not included on the census mail list. To improve the
coverage of the 1 978 Census, especially in counting the
number of small farms, the mail-out/mail-back
enumeration was supplemented by the direct
enumeration of all households in a sample of areas in
all States, except Alaska and Hawaii. Due to budget
reductions, the direct enumeration sample was
eliminated in the 1982 Census.
In late 1978, enumerators visited all households in
approximately 6,400 segments in rural areas (areas with
less than 2,500 population) and completed a census
form for each agricultural operation. These forms were
then matched to the census mail list. Data from those
cases which were not matched to the mail list were
used to estimate the number and characteristics of
farms not on the mail list at the State, regional, and
national levels. No county-level estimates were
developed because the area sample size was
insufficient for reliable estimates at that level.
The U.S., region, and State data for 1978 shown in
the 1978 Census of Agriculture publications included
data for farms represented on the mail list plus
estimates from the area sample for farms not on the
mail list. To provide comparable data for 1982 and
1978, estimates from the area sample have been
subtracted from the 1978 data. Thus, all 1978 data
presented in the 1 982 Census of Agriculture publications
include data only for farms on the 1978 mail list.
In 1978, the area sample farms accounted for 9
percent of all farms in the United States, but only 1
percent of the total value of agricultural products sold
and 1 percent of the land in farms. The area sample
farms represented 25 percent of all farms with sales of
less than $2,500. The contribution of the area sample
farms to the total farm count varied widely by State,
from a low of 2.0 percent in North Dakota to a high of
23.8 percent in New Hampshire.
The following table shows the 1982 results and
adjusted 1978 data for farms on the mail list, as well as
1978 data which include estimates for farms not on the
mail list.
