ACKNOWLEDGMENTS— Many  persons  participated  in  conducting  the 
1982  Census  of  Agriculture.  Primary  direction  was  by  Shirley  Kaliek, 
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  performed 
the  clerical  processing;  Administrative  Services  provided  the  forms  design 
and  other  administrative  services;  Publications  Services  contributed  in 
publication  planning  and  design,  editorial  review,  composition,  and 
printing  procurement;  Computer  Services  provided  the  computer  proc- 
essing facilities;  Field  provided  selected  data  collection  activities;  and 
Economic  Surveys  assisted  in  preparation  of  data  collection  and  proc- 
essing procedures  and  computer  programs. 

Members  of  the  Census  Advisory  Committee  on  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  encouraging 
cooperation  of  farm  and  ranch  operators. 

Special  tribute  is  paid  to  the  millions  of  farm  and  ranch  operators 
who  furnished  the  information  requested.  Only  through  their  cooperation 
was  it  possible  to  collect  and  publish  the  data  in  this  report.

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

column  headings.  In  tables  17  through  36,  only  counties  re- 
FHDrting  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.

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  3100,000  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,  suchas  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  31,000,000  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  "oo"— 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

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  Movember  1982 
harvest  season  and  for  Florida  the  April  1982  through 
March  1983  harvest  season. 

0//Ves-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. 

Co^fee-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 
lOths  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  lOths  of 
acres  were  rounded  to  whole  acres  at  the  aggregate  level  during 
the  tabulation  process. 

If  two  or  more  crops  were  harvested  from  the  same  land 
during  the  year,  the  acres  would  be  counted  for  each  crop. 
Therefore,  the  total  acres  of  all  crops  harvested  generally  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  CENSUS  OF  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- In  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-

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  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE 


APPENDIX  A     A-7 


Farms  by  value  of  agricultural  products  sold  or  value  of  sales— In 
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  his/her 
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',  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  (Oil)— V^heat,  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.

Tobacco  (0132)— Tobacco. 

Sugar  crops,  Irish  potatoes,  hay,  peanuts,  and  other  field 
crops  (0133,  0134,  01 39) —Sugarcane,  sugar  beets,  Irish 
potatoes,  alfalfa,  broomcorn,  clover,  flax,  hay,  hops,  mint, 
peanuts,  sweetpotatoes,  and  timothy.

in  the  open. 

Fruits  and  tree  nuts  (017)— Bernes,  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. 

General  farms,  primarily  crops  (019)— Crops,  including  hor- 
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  products,  including  animal  specialties,  but  less 
than  50  percent  of  sales  from  any  single  3digit  industry 
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  128  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.

1982  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE 


APPENDIX  A     A-9 


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). 


IMONSAMPLING  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  mailout. 

A  great  many  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

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    8284,490    (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  24.  From  table  B,  an 
approximate  relative  standard  error  of  estimate  (percent)  for  the 
number  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  1978  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  1 978  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.
