HISTORY •
The 1990 Census of Agriculture for the Northern Mari-
ana Islands is the third census to be taken by the U.S.
Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The first
agriculture census was taken in 1970 as part of the
decennial census of population and housing and has
continued every 10 years.
USES OF THE CENSUS
The census of agriculture is the recognized source of
statistics about the Northern Mariana Islands' agricultural
production and the only source of consistent, comparable
data at the municipality level. Census statistics are used to
measure agricultural production and to identify trends in an
ever changing agricultural sector. Many local programs
use census data as a benchmark for designing and
evaluating surveys. Private industry uses census statistics
to provide a more effective production and distribution
system for the agricultural community.
AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED
The census of agriculture is required by law under Title
13, United States Code, sections 142(a) and 191. The
census of agriculture in the Northern Mariana Islands is
conducted every 10 years and was included with the 1990
Census of Population and Housing. Beginning in 1997, the
census will be conducted every 5 years as it is in each
State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the
United States.
FARM DEFINITION
The statistics presented in this report relate to places
qualifying as census farms. Chapter 1 uses the new farm
definition, which defines a farm as any place from which
$1 00 or more of agricultural products were sold or normally
would have been sold during the census year. Chapter 2
provides comparable 1 990 data according to the old farm
definition used in previous censuses, which defined a farm
as having a minimum number of livestock, poultry, fruit or
nut trees, or any crops or vegetables harvested for sale.
COMPARABILITY OF DATA
Data comparability has been maintained in chapter 2
which contains the 1980 data along with the comparable
1990 data. Dollar figures shown for agricultural product
sales only apply under the new farm definition in chapter 1 .
TABULAR PRESENTATION
Island data— Chapter 1 , tables 1 through 8 and chapter
2, tables 1 through 7 show detailed data for the Northern
Mariana Islands. Chapter 1, tables 21 through 24 provide
1990 data for the Northern Mariana Islands cross tabu-
lated by tenure of operator, size of farm, age of operator,
and value of agricultural products sold.
Municipality data— Data are presented for municipali-
ties in chapter 1, tables 9 through 20 and in chapter 2,
tables 8 through 17.
SPECIAL TABULATIONS
Custom designed tabulations are available to individual
user specifications on a programming cost reimbursable
basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should be directed
to the Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of the Census,
Washington, DC 20233.
CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES
In keeping with the provisions of Title 13, United States
Code, no data are published that would disclose the
operations of an individual farm. However, the number of
farms in a given size category or other classification, such
as size of farm, is not considered a release of confidential
information and is provided even though other information
such as crop production, number of livestock, and sales is
withheld.

DATA COLLECTION
Method of Enumeration
The census of agriculture was conducted by direct
enumeration beginning in April 1 990 in conjunction with the
population and housing censuses. On the last page of the
population and housing questionnaire was an agriculture
screening section. The enumerator was required to com-
plete an agriculture questionnaire when a "yes" answer
was received to any one of the five screening questions.
Questionnaire
The questionnaire for the 1990 Census of Agriculture in
the Northern Mariana Islands was prepared by the Agricul-
ture Division, Bureau of the Census, in cooperation with
the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands.
The content of the 1990 census questionnaire is similar
to the 1 980 questionnaire. Quantity sold and value of sales
were added to the crops and livestock sections. Other
additions and deletions were made based on discussions
with the Government of the Northern Mariana Islands and
with respect to published tables in the 1980 census.
Followup Procedures
An enumerator was instructed to visit a farm up to three
times. If no one was available to complete the question-
naire, the case would then be given to the supervisor. If all
attempts to obtain the information from the farm operator
failed, the information might then be obtained from a
neighbor or by observation of the place.
DATA PROCESSING
The processing was done in the Agriculture Division at
the Bureau of the Census. Each questionnaire was edited
and coded prior to being keyed and tabulated. The ques-
tionnaires were examined for accuracy, consistency, and
completeness. Errors in computations and in units of
measure, inconsistencies, and misplaced entries were
corrected. Incomplete reports were adjusted on the basis
of related information on the same form or on question-
naires for nearby farms of similar type and size.
After all questionnaires had been reviewed, the data
were keyed and subjected to a detailed item-by-item
computer edit. The edit performed comprehensive checks
for completeness and consistency. Inconsistencies identi-
fied by the edit were corrected by subject matter special-
ists and reedited. The data were then tabulated by the
computer for analysis. Following necessary corrections,
the data were retabulated for final publication.
MAJOR DATA CHANGES
Prior to each agriculture census, the Bureau of the
Census reviews the content of the census forms to elimi-
nate questions no longer needed, identify new items
necessary to meet user needs, and to better describe the
agriculture situation in the Northern Mariana Islands. Data
requests are solicited from government agencies in the
Northern Mariana Islands. The following changes were
made to the 1990 questionnaire:
• Additions:
- Information on landlords
- Ornamental plants and nursery crops
- Chicken eggs value
- Quarts of milk
- Quantity and value of sales in the crops and
livestock sections
• Deletions:
- Coffee
FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS, SPECIAL CENSUSES,
AND RELATED PUBLICATIONS
In addition to the 1990 Census of Agriculture for Amer-
ican Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands, the census of agriculture program includes

Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the 1988 Farm and
Ranch Irrigation Survey, the 1988 Agricultural Economics
and Land Ownership Survey, and the 1988 Census of
Horticultural Specialties.
Additional publications of the 1987 Census of Agricul-
ture data include the Agricultural Atlas of the United States
(previously called the Graphic Summary), Coverage Eval-
uation, Ranking of States and Counties, Government Pay-
ments and Market Value of Agricultural Products Sold, and

an exact wording of the questions on the 1 990 question-
naire, see appendix B.
In the tables, data for land in farms, land use, fruit and
nut trees, and livestock and poultry on hand represent the
situation existing at the time of enumeration of each farm.
The enumeration for the 1 990 Census of Agriculture began
in April 1990 and the 1980 census in April 1980. All other
data, such as that relating to acres and production, are for
the calendar years 1 989 and 1 979. Sales are for 1 989 only.
Farm operator— The term "operator" designates a
person who operates a farm, either by doing the work
himself/herself or directly supervising the work. The oper-
ator may be the owner, a member of the owner's house-
hold, a tenant or renter, the manager, or the person in
charge of an institutional farm. By definition, the number of
farm operators is the same as the number of farms.
Farms or farms reporting— The term "farms" or "farms
reporting" in the presentation of data denotes the number
of farms reporting the item.
Land in farms— The land in farms was determined from
the answers to questions 1 through 4 in section 1 of the
questionnaire (see app. B). The amounts of land reported
as owned and rented from others were added together,
and the amount of land reported as rented to others was
subtracted from that sum. The result represents "land in
farms." Although the area designated land in farms con-
sists primarily of agricultural land, i.e.— land used for
crops, pasture, or grazing— it also included areas of land
not actually under cultivation nor used for pasture or
grazing. For example, woodland and wasteland owned or
rented from others were included as land in farms unless
the report indicated it was being held for nonagricultural
purposes, such as recreational or for timber.
Land owned— This includes all land held by the opera-
tor or his/her spouse under title, purchase contract, or as
heir or trustee of an undivided estate at the time of
enumeration. Land managed by a hired manager also was
considered owned.
Land rented from others— This includes not only land
that the operator rented or leased from others, but also
land worked on shares for others and land used rent free.
Land rented to others— This includes all land the
operator rented or leased to others and all land assigned
to others on shares or rent free during the past year. For
the most part, the land rented to others represents agri-
cultural land, but it also may include land rented for
residential or other purposes. The tenant is considered to
be the operator of land leased, rented, or worked on
shares, even though the landlord may supervise the oper-
ations. The landlord is considered to be the operator of
only that portion of the land not assigned to tenants.
Land use — Land in farms is categorized according to
the way it was being used on enumeration day. The land
uses described in the following paragraphs are mutually
exclusive in that each acre of land is counted only once,
even though it may have had more than one use during the
year.
• Cropland used for crops— This includes all land
planted in crops at the time of enumeration. Land was
to be reported only once, even if two or more crops
were planted on the same land. It includes field crops
that were grazed when mature or almost mature; land
in bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut trees or
plants, or any other tree crops; land that had partial
but not total crop failure; and land in home gardens.
• Cropland not used for crops— This includes all land
that the operator considered as cropland but on
which no crops were planted. It includes land used for
pasture and grazing that the operator feels could
have been used for crops; land with total crop failure
as a result of drought, flood, insect, fire, or other
causes; idle and fallow cropland; and cropland with
soil improvement grass, cover crops, etc., for the
purpose of improvement.
• Pasture or grazing land— This includes all land
suitable for pasture or grazing, except land used for
crops and cropland pasture whether or not used for
grazing livestock. It also includes woodland being
used for pasture.
• Other land— This includes all land that did not qualify
either as cropland or pastureland. It includes land in
house and building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, ponds,
swamps, steep slopes, wasteland, brushland, and
nonpastured woodland.
Type of holding — Agricultural operations were classi-
fied according to the response the enumerator obtained
from the farm operator as to whether the farm was
producing mainly for home consumption or mainly for sale.
• Holdings producing mainly for home consump-
tion— This applies to holdings from which more than
50 percent of the agricultural output was consumed
by the holder's household.
• Holdings producing mainly for sale— This applies
to holdings from which 50 percent or more of the
agricultural output was for sale. These holdings were
further classified by the farm operator according to
their most important activity. If 50 percent or more of
A-2 APPENDIX A
1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
the value was from one of the following, the holding
was named accordingly.
- Crop holding is one which the value of sales
from crops was more than 50 percent.
- Livestock and/or poultry holding is one which
the value of sales from livestock and livestock
products and/or poultry and poultry products
was more than 50 percent.
- Mixed holding is one which the value of sales
was mainly a combination of sales of crops,
livestock, livestock products, and/or poultry
and poultry products.
- Other holding is one which the value of sales
was mainly from the sale of agricultural prod-
ucts not listed in the previous groups.
Crops harvested— The questionnaire contained individ-
ual inquiries for crops commonly grown and space to write
in crops less frequently produced for the year 1 990.
• Field crops, melons, and vegetables — The number
of acres harvested, the total quantity of each crop
harvested, the quantity sold, and value of sales during
1 989 were to have been reported.
When two or more crops or two or more plantings
of the same crop were harvested from the same land
during the year, the acres were to be reported
separately for each crop or planting.
• Fruits and nuts— For fruits grown on farms, informa-
tion was obtained on the total trees both bearing and
nonbearing, that were on the place on enumeration
day. The total quantity harvested, the quantity sold,
and value of sales were for 1 989.
• Nursery and ornamental plants — Data reflect the
number of square feet, acres, and value of sales for
1989.
Livestock and poultry— Data show the number on
hand at the time of enumeration. All livestock and poultry
on the place were counted at the time of the enumeration
regardless of ownership.
Sales data were collected for all livestock, poultry, and
fish sold from the place during 1 989, as well as the dozens
of eggs sold.
"Milk cows" were defined as cows that had been on the
place on the day of enumeration and were milked at any
time during 1989. All other cows were to be included in the
data for "Other cattle and calves."
Equipment — The following types of equipment on the
place at the time of enumeration, regardless of ownership,
were reported as long as they were in operating condition
and used in the farm business.
• Tractors — This includes all wheel and tracklaying
(crawler) tractors, garden tractors, and homemade
tractors, other than motor tillers.
• Motortrucks— This includes pickup trucks, truck-trailer
combinations, jeeps, and station wagons, if used
primarily as trucks.
• Automobiles — This includes jeeps and station wag-
ons used primarily as passenger cars.
Facilities— The presence or absence of electricity and/or
piped running water on the place was reported.
• Electricity — This includes electrical power anywhere
on the place including the dwelling of the operator.
• Piped running water— This includes water in pipe-
lines by a pressure system or by gravity flow from
natural or artificial sources. Water from a hand pump
was not considered to be piped running water.
Operator characteristics— Data were obtained to clas-
sify the operators according to five characteristics.
1 . Residence of operator — Farm operators were clas-
sified by residence according to whether or not they
lived on the farms they were operating. Some of
those who did not live on the farms they operated
lived on farms operated by others. If all the land was
rented from others or worked on shares for others,
the operator was considered to live on the farm
operated if the dwelling was included in the rental
agreement. In such cases, the dwelling was not
necessarily on the farm operated. Similarly, an
operator who did not live on the land being culti-
vated, but who had some agricultural operations
(other than a home garden) at his/her dwelling, was
considered to be living on the farm operated.
2. Year began operating present farm— Enumera-
tors were instructed to obtain the year an operator
began to operate the farm, i.e., the first year the
operator took continuous charge of the present
farm or any part of it.
3. Age of operator— Operators were classified by
age into six groups. The average age was obtained
by dividing the sum of the ages of all operators
reported by the number reported.
4. Main occupation— If the operator devoted 50 per-
cent or more of his/her work time to agricultural
activities, his/her main occupation was considered
to be agriculture, otherwise his/her occupation was
considered nonagricultural.
5. Work off farm— Only work by the operator for pay
was to be reported. Days worked off the place were
to include work at another farm or a nonfarm
business, such as a store or repair shop; or at a
1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
APPENDIX A A-3
profession such as doctor, lawyer, or teacher. Exchange
work or work done by the operator in exchange for
comparable work done by someone else was not to
be reported.
FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED
CHARACTERISTICS
Tables 21 through 24 present detailed data for farms
classified by specified characteristics — tenure of operator,
size of farm, age of operator, and value of agricultural
products sold.
Farms by tenure of operator— Farms were classified
by tenure of operator on the basis of information reported
for land owned, rented from others, or worked on shares
for others. During the processing operations, each ques-
tionnaire was coded to indicate whether the farm operator
was a full owner, a part owner, or a tenant. The various
classifications of tenure are:
• Full owners operate only land they own.
• Part owners operate land they own plus land they rent
from others.
• Tenants only operate the land they rent from others
or work on shares for others.
Farms by size— Farms were classified by size on the
basis of the total land area determined for each farm.
According to the census definition, a farm is essentially an
operating unit, not an ownership tract. All land operated or
managed by one person or partnership represents one
farm. In the case of tenants, the land assigned to each
tenant is considered a separate farm even though the
landlord may consider his/her entire land holding to be
one unit rather than several separate units.
Farms by age of operator — Farms were classified by
age of operator on the basis of information reported to the
enumerator that was entered on the report form. The
operator's age was classified into one of the age groups
found in table 23.
Farms by value of agricultural products sold — Farms
were classified on the basis of the total value of agricultural
products sold. The total was obtained by adding the
reported values of all products sold from the farm. The
value of vegetables, field crops, fruits and nuts, nursery
and ornamental plants, livestock, poultry, fish, and eggs
was obtained from the operator at the time of enumeration.
These values were classified into one of the groups found
in table 24.
CENSUS NONSAMPLING ERROR
All data originated from a complete enumeration and,
therefore, are not subject to sampling variability. However,
the data are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling
errors can be attributed to many sources:
• Inability to identify all cases in the actual universe.
• Inability or unwillingness on the part of respondents to
provide correct information.
• Definition and classification difficulties.
• Differences in the interpretation of questions.
• Errors in recording or coding the data obtained.
• Other errors of collection, response, coverage, and
estimation for missing or misreported data.
The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by
the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. No
direct measures of these effects have been obtained;
however, precautionary steps were taken in all phases of
data collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an
effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.
