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), and Michael G. Farrell, Assistant Director for Economic and Agriculture Censuses.

This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division under the general supervision of Arnold L. Bollenbacher, Chief (to June 1982) and John H. Berry, Chief (from July 1982).

The report form content was prepared by the Outlying Areas Branch of the Agriculture Division, Bureau of the Census, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture of the Virgin Islands.

The census data were collected under the direction of the Governor of the Virgin Islands, the Honorable Juan Luis. The actual collection of the data was performed by census enumerators under the supervision of Otis F. Hicks, Project Leader. Clerical processing was performed in the Virgin Islands central processing office.

Many census divisions contributed to this report. Administrative Services provided the forms design and other administrative services; Publications Services contributed in publication planning and design, editorial review, composition, and printing procurement; Geography pro- vided the maps; and Computer Services provided the computer processing facilities.

Special tribute is paid to the many farm and ranch operators who fur- nished the information requested. Only through their cooperation was it possible to collect and publish the data in this report.

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED

The 1982 Census of Agriculture was taken in accordance with the provisions of title 13, United States Code. Sections 142(a) and 191 provide for a census of agriculture every 5 years in each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. The census data for the Virgin Islands may be collected by the Governor or a representa- tive from his/her staff to act as census supervisor, in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement prescribed or approved by the Director of the Bureau of the Census.

HISTORY

The 1982 census is the 10th census of agriculture of the Virgin Islands. The first, taken in 1917, was a special census authorized by the Secretary of Commerce. The next agriculture census was taken in 1930 in conjunction with the decennial census, a practice that continued every 10 years through 1960. The 1964 Census of Agriculture was the first quinquennial IB- year) census to be taken in the Virgin Islands. For the quin- quennial census of 1969, the data were collected in 1970 in con- junction with the 1970 Censuses of Population and Housing. The 1974 census was taken independently of any other censuses. 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 manufactu- ring, mining, construction, retail trade, wholesale trade, service industries, 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

This information is needed by the farmers of the Virgin Islands, by their representatives, by the Government, and by many other groups of people who are concerned with food and agricultural production in the Virgin Islands.

The census will provide a comprehensive inventory of farms and their production. A great many uses are made of this basic census information.

For example:

a. Agricultural programs can be evaluated and new programs started on the basis of farm statistics.

b. Monies allocated by the Federal Government are based in part on census data.

c. Businesses can determine where and how much of their products they can sell, and measure other features of their markets.

d. Farmers can compare their current size and performance with the size and performance of other farms in the same geographic area to determine how well they are doing.

Census figures are fundamental to making sound economic decisions and help increase the competition that provides better prices for goods and services to the farmer.

FARM DEFINITION

The statistics presented in this report relate to places quali- fying as farms for census purposes. For the 1982 Census of Agri- culture in the Virgin Islands, a farm was defined as a "place" of 3 acres or more on which any field or forage crops were har- vested or vegetables were harvested for sale during the 12-month period between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983, or on which there was a combined total of 10 or more fruit or nut trees or plants, any livestock, or 10 or more poultry at the time of enu- meration. Places of less than 3 acres were counted as farms if their sales of agricultural products between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983, amounted to at least $100, or if they could normally be expected to produce agricultural products in sufficient quantity to provide sales amounting to at least $100. Places meeting any of the above criteria were included in the tabulations as farms.

The definition of a farm for 1982 was the same as in all previous censuses, except the one for 1950. For 1950, all places, regardless of size, were counted as farms if the total value of agricultural products in 1949, except home garden products, whether for home use or for sales, amounted to $100 or more. Enumerators filled out a report form for every place that the operator considered a farm, every place of 3 acres or more whether or not it was considered a farm, and every place of less than 3 acres whose agricultural production in 1949 was valued at $100 or more.

COMPARABILITY OF DATA

Comparability of data from the 1982 Census of Agri- culture in the Virgin Islands has been slightly affected by improvements in the coverage of the operators list and improved techniques of training enumerators. In general, data from the 1982 census are comparable with those of previous censuses.

TABULAR PRESENTATION

The detailed tables in this report give totals for each of the three islands— St. Croix, St. John, and St. Thomas— and for the Virgin Islands as a whole. Comparable information for pre- ceding census years is given for many items for which informa- tion is available.

TAKING THE CENSUS A-1

OFFICE PROCESSING A-1

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS A-1

FARM CLASSIFICATIONS A-4

TAKING THE CENSUS Report Form

The report form for the 1982 Census of Agriculture was prepared by the Outlying Areas Branch of the Agriculture Division, Bureau of the Census, in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture of the Virgin Islands. It contained 82 inquiries, many with several parts. The inquiries were based on current requirements for agricultural information and, to some extent, on the desire for comparability with earlier censuses.

The only modification made to the 1982 census report form was the omission of the source of financmg section which was included in the last census (see appendix B).

Training Program

The project manager, crew leader, and enumerators em- ployed for the census in the Virgin Islands received special training for the job in accordance with instructions prepared by the Bureau of the Census. The training included practice in interviewing, filling out the report form, and detailed discussion of the enumerator's instructions.

Method of Enumeration

As in the previous censuses of the Virgin Islands, the direct enumeration procedure was used in the 1982 Census of Agriculture. The statistics in this report represent totals of data collected from farm operators during the period from July to the end of August 1983. For the enumeration, the Virgin Islands were divided into six Enumeration Districts (ED's) and each district was clearly delineated on special ED maps prepared for the census.

Each enumerator was assigned an ED and given a map of the area to be enumerated. The enumerators were also given a list of the persons from whom a report form had been obtained in the 1978 Census of Agriculture as well as other persons known to be conducting farm operations. The enumerators were required to check all persons on their list.

Enumerators were also instructed to ask enough questions about tracts of land on which no one lived to determine whether agricultural data should be collected from the person in charge of the land. This procedure was designed to assure the complete coverage of all land used for agriculture, whether by an individual, a corporation, or an institution.

To avoid enumeration of the same place more than once, rules were established whereby enumerators could determine who was responsible for completing a report form for a given

place. If the person in charge of an agricultural operation lived outside of the ED in which the land under his/her control was located, the enumerator assigned to the ED in which the operator resided was responsible for completing his/her report form. If a place was partly in one ED and partly in another, the enumerator for the ED in which the operator lived was responsible for completing the report form to include all the land the person operated in the Virgin Islands, regardless of the ED.

OFFICE PROCESSING

The office processing was done in the Agriculture Division at the Bureau of the Census. Each report form was edited and coded prior to being data keyed. Report forms obtained for places not meeting the census farm definition criteria were voided. The remaming report forms were examined for accuracy, consistency, and completeness. Enumerators' errors in computations and in units of measures, inconsistencies, and misplaced entries were corrected. Missing information was derived and entered on incomplete reports on the basis of related information on the same report form or from report forms for nearby farms of similar type and size.

After all the forms had been edited and coded, the data were encoded onto magnetic tape and subjected to a thorough computer edit analysis. Any inconsistencies were reviewed, corrected, and encoded to magnetic tape. The corrected data were then tabulated by the computer and printed out for review.

Subject matter specialists reviewed the computer tabulations for reasonableness and consistency. Corrections were made on the basis of a reexamination of the original report forms. The data were then retabulated and a printout was provided so that the data tables could be prepared for final publication.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

The following definitions and explanations relate to those items that are considered to be inadequately described in the tables. Most of the definitions are from the instructions given to enumerators. For an exact wording of the questions and instructions on the report form, see the report form in appendix B.

Farm operator— The term "operator" designates a person who operates a farm, either by doing the work himself/herself or by directly supervising the work. The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner's household, a hired manager, or a tenant, renter, or sharecropper. If the operator rents land to others or has land worked on shares by others, he/she is considered the operator only of the land retained for his/her own operation. In the case of partnership, only one partner is counted as an operator. By definition, the number of operators is the same as the number of farms.

AGRICULTURE-GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES

APPENDIX A A-1

Farms or operators reporting— Figures for "farms reporting" or "operators reporting" represent the number of farms, or operators reporting the specified item. The difference between the total number of farms and the number of farms reporting a particular item represents the number of farms not having that Item, provided a correct report was received for all farms.

Land in farms-All data relating to land tenure and land in farms refer only to land located in the Virgin islands and the situation existing at the time of enumeration. The land included in each farm was determined from the answers to questions 1 through 5 in section 2 of the report form which relate to land tenure (see appendix B). The acres reported as owned, rented from others, worked on shares for others, or managed for others were added together and then the acres rented to others or worked on shares by others were subtracted from that sum. The results represent "Land in farms."

Although the area designated, land in farms, consists pri- marily of agricultural land— i.e., land used for crops, pasture, or grazing— it also includes land not actually under cultivation nor used for pasture or grazing. For example, woodland and wasteland owned or rented from others was included as land in farms unless reports Indicated it was being held for nonagri- cultural purposes, as recreational, for timber, etc.

Land owneo'— This item includes all land that the operator or his/her spouse held under title, purchase contract, homestead law, or as heir or trustee of an undivided estate at the time of enumeration.

Land rented from others— Ih'xs item includes not only land the operator rented or leased from others, but also land worked on shares for others or land occupied rent free.

Land managed— l\\\s item includes all tracts of land managed for an employer by a person paid a salary or wages. A hired manager is the operator of the managed land, since he/she is responsible for the agricultural operations and frequently supervises others in performing those operations. If a hired manager also had agricultural operations of his/her own, he/she was asked to report it on a separate report form from the managed operations.

Land rented to others— JW\% item includes all land that the operator rented to others and all land assigned to others on shares or rent free. For the most part, land rented to others represents agricultural land, but it also includes land rented for residential or other purposes. The tenant is considered to be the operator of land leased, rented, or worked on shares, even though his/her landlord may supervise the operations. The landlord is considered to be the operator of only that portion of the land not assigned to tenants.

Land use— Land in farms at the time of enumeration is categorized according to the way it was used during the 12-month period between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983. The land uses described are mutually exclusive in that each acre of land is counted only once even though it may have had more than one use during the year.

Harvested cropland— Ihh item refers to ail land from which any crop was harvested during the 12-month period, whether for home use or sale. It also includes land in field crops that

were grazed when mature or almost mature, and land in nonbearing fruit or nut trees and plants. Land from which two or more crops were harvested was to be counted only once. Land from which crops were harvested and which was also used for other purposes, either before or after the crops were harvested, was to be reported as cropland harvested without regard to the other uses.

Other cropland— This item includes cropland from which no crop was harvested between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983, but which was occupied by growing crops, except fruit or nut trees, intended for harvest in 1983 or later. Also, it includes cropland intended for harvest, but not actually harvested because of complete crop failure, low prices, labor shortage, or other reasons; land that had been plowed and could be plowed again without first being cleared of brush, but that lay idle throughout July 1, 1982, to June 30, 1983; and land used for soil-improvement crops. Other cropland also includes land which was used only for pasture or grazing which the operator could have used for crops without additional clearing or irrigating. Enumerators were instructed to exclude any land pastured after a crop was harvested.

Pasture or grazing land— This item refers to all land used for pasture or grazing between July 1, 1982, to June 30, 1983, except cropland. It includes all woodland where livestock pastured or grazed.

Woodland not pastured— Th\s item includes all woodland that was not used for pasture or grazing between July 1, 1982, to June 30, 1983. In the enumerator's reference book, "wood- land" was defined as "all farm wood lots or timber tracts, natural or planted; and. . .cutover land with young growth which has or will have value as wood or timber."

Other land-Th'\s item refers to all land not included in the other land use classifications, such as house and other building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, and land area of ponds and wasteland.

Type of holding— Holdings are classified according to whether they were producing mainly for home consumption or mainly for sale. Those from which 50 percent or more of the agricultural output is consumed by the holder's household are classified as producing mainly for home consumption. Those from which 50 percent or more of the agricultural output is sold are classified as mainly for sale. Holdings producing mainly for sale are further classified according to their most important activity.

Vegetable holding— Th\s is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was from the sale of vegetables.

Field and forage crop holding— This is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was from the sale of field and forage crops.

Fruit and nut holding— This is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was from the sale of fruits and nuts.

Dairy holding— This is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was from the sale of dairy products.

A-2 APPENDIX A

AGRICULTURE-GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES

Livestock holding— J\\\s is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was from the sale of livestock and livestock products, except dairy products.

Poultry holding— Th\s is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was from the sale of poultry and poultry products.

Nursery holding— This is one on which 50 percent or more of the value of sales was from the sale of nursery products.

Mixed holding— This is one on which none of the above items accounts for 50 percent or more of the value of sales.

Other holding— This is one that does not belong to any of the previous groups.

Crops harvested— The 1982 report form was similar to the report forms used in previous censuses. It provided for the collection of data for specified field crops, vegetables, fruits, and nuts harvested on each farm. Inquiries were included for the most commonly grown crops in the Virgin Islands and space was provided to write in those less frequently produced.

The units of measure for reporting quantities of some crops have varied from one census to another. The aim has been to permit reporting in the units of measure currently in use. In this report, the quantities harvested for each crop are expressed in the units of measure given on the 1982 report form. To provide readily comparable information, data published in earlier reports in different units of measure have been converted to the units used for the 1982 census.

Forage, field, and vegetable crops— The area for individual crops harvested was obtained for forage, field, and vegetable crops in acres and lOths of acres. When two or more crops, or two or more plantings of the same crop, were harvested from the same land, the area was to be reported for each separate crop or planting. Total quantities of each forage and field crop harvested were to be reported, whether the crops were for home use or for sale. Also, total quantities of each crop sold were to be reported. The acreage reported for vegetables relates only to the acreage harvested.

Fruits and nuts— The figures for acres and for number of trees and plants relate to t^e time of enumeration.

Value of products sold— Data for value of products sold were obtained for each type of crop, fruit, livestock, etc., sold from the farm. The gross value of quantities sold was to be reported regardless of who did the selling or shared in the receipts. Crops given to a landlord and crops produced on institutional farms for use by inmates of the institution were to be considered as sold.

Livestock and poultry— Inventory data for livestock and poultry relate to the number on hand at the time of enumeration. All livestock and poultry were to be enumerated on the place where they were at the time of enumeration regardless of who owned them. Livestock on unfenced land were to be reported as being on the place identified as the headquarters of the person who had control over them.

Sales data for livestock, milk, and poultry products relate to the 12-month period between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983.

Enumerators were instructed to report total quantities and gross value of sales regardless of who did the selling or shared in the receipts. Products given by a tenant to a landlord and products taken from an institutional farm for use by inmates of the institutional farm were to be considered as sold.

Selected farm expenses— The 1982 report form contained questions on six types of farm expenses incurred between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983, whether made by the farm operator, his/her landlord, or both. A farm operator who rented part of his/her land to others reported only the expenses on the land he/she operated.

Machine hire and customwork— Expenses for machine hire and customwork relate to tractor hire, plowing, and spraying. Any amount spent for the labor involved is considered to be part of the expense. The costs of hauling, trucking, or of ex- change work without pay are omitted.

Hired farm labor— Expenses for hired farm labor include total cash payments made between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983, to family members and others for farm labor. Payments to persons supplied by a contractor or a coopera- tive organization and paid directly by them or by the crew leader are also included. Payments are excluded for house- work, contract construction work, customwork, and repair and installation work performed by persons specifically employed for the work.

Purchases of feed— Expenses for feed for livestock and poultry include total cash payments made between July 1,

1982, to June 30, 1983, for pasture used, salt, concentrates, mineral supplements, grain, hay, millfeeds, and any other items purchased for feeding livestock and poultry on the place. Expenses made for the grinding and mixing of feed and the estimated cost of items furnished to the operator by a landlord or others are also included. Payments made by a tenant to a landlord for feed grown on the tenant's farm are excluded.

Purchases of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides— This item relates to total cash expenses between July 1, 1982, and June 30, 1983, for all chemicals, sprays, dusts, etc., used to control weeds, pests, insects, or disease on crops and livestock. Any of these materials paid for by landlords and custom operators is included in the expense data.

Purchases of fertilizers and manure— These expenses include the total amount spent between July 1, 1982, and June 30,

1983, for manure and commercial fertilizers of all kinds for use on the farm.

Purchases of livestock and poultry— Th\s item includes all cash expenses for livestock and poultry purchased between July 1, 1982, to June 30, 1983, for the place. The cost of livestock and poultry bought and then resold within 30 days is not included.

Equipment and facilities— Operators were asked to report the number of tractors, motortrucks, and automobiles on their farms at the time of enumeration, regardless of ownership. Items that were temporarily out of order were to be included, but not those that were worn out. Tractors include all wheel and

AGRICULTURE-GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERIES

APPENDIX A A-3

tracklaying (crawlers), garden, and homemade. Motortrucks include pickup trucks, truck-trailer combinations, jeeps, and station wagons if they were used primarily as trucks. Auto- mobiles include jeeps and station wagons if they were used primarily as passenger cars. Data obtained in the 1982 census for the number of tractors, motortrucks, and automobiles on farms are comparable with those presented for earlier census years.

Since the 1960 census, data were obtained on presence or absence of electricity and piped running water on the farm. These facilities were considered to be on the farm if they were available anywhere on the place, whether or not in the operator's dwelling. "Piped running water" was defined as "water carried in pipelines by a pressure system or by gravity flow from a natural or an artificial source."

Farm wells included all holes or pits made by excavation to reach a supply of water for irrigation, watering livestock, and other purposes. Farm ponds are not included.

number of days worked off the farm during the year. Work off the farm was defined to include work on someone else's farm for pay as well as all types of nonfarm jobs, businesses, and professions whether the work was done on the farm premises or elsewhere. Exchange work was not included. Data for the 1982 census are comparable with those for the censuses since 1960.

FARM CLASSIFICATIONS

Farms by size— Farms were classified by size on the basis of the total land area established in each one. According to the census definition, a farm is essentially an operating unit, not an ownership tract. All land operated or managed by one person or partnership represents one farm. In the case of tenants, the land assigned to each tenant is considered a separate farm, even though the landlord may consider the entire landholding to be one unit rather than several separate units.

Operator cliaracteristlcs— Data were obtained to classify the operators according to six characteristics.

Residence of operator- Operators were classified by resi- dence according to whether or not they lived on the farms operated. Some of those who did not live on the farms they operated lived on farms operated by others. Where all the land was rented from others or worked on shares for others, the operator was considered to live on the farm operated provided the dwelling he/she occupied was included in the rental agreement. In such cases, the dwelling was not necessarily on the land being operated. Similarly, an operator who did not live on the land being cultivated or grazed, but who had some agricultural operations (other than a home garden) at his/her dwelling, was considered to be living on the farm operated.

Years on present farm— Operators were classified by years on present farm into four groups. This data was based on the request for the first year the operator took continuous charge of the present farm or any part of it.

Place of birtfi-Operators were classified by place of birth according to whether they were born in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, or elsewhere. The purpose of this question was to obtain a measure of the native language abilities of operators as a guide to agricultural agents in preparing news releases for distribution to farmers. The need for information about language abilities has arisen since the 1950 census as a result of the influx of Puerto Ricans into the Virgin Islands.

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

Main occupation— This question was asked to determine whether the principal occupation of the operator was agricultural or nonagricultural. If the operator devoted 50 percent or more of his/her work time to agricultural activities, his/her main occupation was considered to be agriculture.

Work off farm— The extent to which operators rely on nonfarm sources for part of their income is indicated by the

Farms by tenure of operator— In the 1982 census, farms were classified by tenure of operator on the basis of data reported for land owned, rented from others, worked on shares for others, and managed for others. The same classification was used since 1964. During the processing operations, each report form was coded to indicate whether the operator was a full owner, part owner, manager, or tenant.

Ft/// owners— These operate only land they own.

Part owners— These operate land they own and also land they rent from others.

Managers— These operate land for others and are paid a wage or salary for their services. Caretakers or hired laborers are not classified as managers. If an operator managed land for others and also operated his/her own farm, each operation was considered a farm. If a manager managed farms for two or more employers, each operation was considered a separate farm.

Tenants— These rent from others or work the land they operate on shares for others.

Farms by value of agricultural products sold— The farms were classified on the basis of the total value of agricultural products sold. The total was obtained by adding the reported values of all products sold from the farm. The value of livestock, milk, poultry and eggs, vegetables, fruits and nuts, all field crops, ornamental plants, and all other crops was obtained from the operator at the time of enumeration. The computer edit classified the value of agricultural products sold into one of the following groups:

Less than $100 $100 to $499 $500 to $1,199 $1,200 to $2,499

$2,500 to $4,999 $5,000 to $7,499 $7,500 to $9,999 $10,000 or more

Farms by age of operator— Enumerators entered the operator's age, as of his/her last birthday, on the report form. The computer edit classified the operator's age into one of the following age groups:

Under 25 years 25 to 34 years 35 to 44 years

45 to 54 years 55 to 64 years 65 years and over
