The  U.S.  Department  of  Agriculture’s  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service  (NASS)  conducted  the  2012  Census  of 
Agriculture,  analyzed  the  data,  and  prepared  this  and  other  reports.  The  census  provides  a comprehensive  picture  of 
American  agriculture  in  2012,  and  NASS  recognizes  and  appreciates  that  many  individuals  and  organizations  contributed 
to  the  effort. 

Most  importantly,  the  success  of  the  agriculture  census  depends  directly  on  the  cooperation  of  farmers  and  ranchers  across 
the  country.  Recognizing  that  participating  in  the  census  is  their  responsibility  and  gives  them  a voice  in  their  future, 
agricultural  producers  took  the  time  to  provide  the  information  requested.  We  are  grateful  to  every  producer  who 
participated  in  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture. 

Also  essential  were  the  many  partners  who  communicated  about  the  census  and  encouraged  producers  to  respond.  Farm 
organizations,  stakeholder  groups,  agricultural  media,  community-based  organizations,  and  land  grant  and  other 
universities  helped  to  build  awareness  of  the  census  and  its  importance  to  producers,  their  communities,  and  U.S. 
agriculture  as  a whole.  We  appreciate  their  help  in  reaching  all  kinds  of  agricultural  operations,  thereby  ensuring  a 
comprehensive  census. 

Various  USDA  agencies  and  State  departments  of  agriculture  provided  valuable  advice  during  the  planning,  data 
collection,  and  processing  phases  of  the  census,  as  well  as  critical  assistance  at  the  local  level  to  farmers  and  ranchers 
completing  census  forms.  Our  thanks  to  them  and  to  the  enumerators  who  collected  data  locally  through  NASS’ 
cooperative  agreement  with  the  National  Association  of  State  Departments  of  Agriculture. 

Members  of  the  Advisory  Committee  on  Agriculture  Statistics  offered  advice  on  census  questions,  as  well  as  their  strong 
and  consistent  support  and  thoughtful  recommendations  for  census  and  other  programs.  Representatives  of  public  and 
private  organizations  provided  input  as  well. 

Finally,  we  acknowledge  and  appreciate  the  support  services  of  the  U.S.  Department  of  Commerce  National  Processing 
Center  in  Jeffersonville,  Indiana.

Introduction 


HISTORY 

The  2012  Census  of  Agriculture  is  the  28th  Federal 
census  of  agriculture  and  the  fourth  conducted  by  the 
U.S.  Department  of  Agriculture  (USDA),  National 
Agricultural  Statistics  Service  (NASS).  The  U.S. 
Department  of  Commerce,  Bureau  of  the  Census 
conducted  the  census  of  agriculture  for  156  years 
(1840-1996).  The  1997  Appropriations  Act 
contained  a provision  that  transferred  the 
responsibility  for  the  census  of  agriculture  to  NASS. 

The  history  of  collecting  data  on  U.S.  agriculture 
dates  back  as  far  as  President  George  Washington, 
who  kept  meticulous  statistical  records  describing 
his  own  and  other  farms.  In  1791,  President 
Washington  wrote  to  farmers  requesting  information 
on  land  values,  crop  acreages,  crop  yields,  livestock 
prices,  and  taxes.  Washington  compiled  the  results 
on  an  area  extending  roughly  250  miles  from  north 
to  south  and  100  miles  from  east  to  west  which  today 
lies  in  Maryland,  Pennsylvania,  Virginia,  West 
Virginia,  and  the  District  of  Columbia,  where  most 
of  the  young  country’s  population  lived.  In  effect, 
Washington’s  inquiry  was  an  attempt  to  fulfill  the 
need  for  sound  agricultural  data  for  a nation  that  was 
heavily  reliant  on  the  success  of  agriculture.  Such 
informal  inquiries  worked  while  the  Nation  was 
young,  but  were  insufficient  as  the  country 
expanded. 

In  1839,  Congress  appropriated  $1,000  for  “carrying 
out  agricultural  investigations,  and  procuring 
agricultural  statistics.”  The  first  agriculture  census 
was  taken  in  1840  as  part  of  the  sixth  decennial 
census  of  population.  As  the  country  expanded  and 
agriculture  evolved,  the  decade  between  censuses 
became  too  long  an  interval  to  capture  the  changes  in 
agricultural  production.  After  the  1920  census,  the 
census  interval  was  changed  to  every  five  years 
resulting  in  a separate  mid-decade  census  of

agriculture  being  conducted  in  1925,  1935,  and 
1945.  The  agriculture  census  continued  to  be  taken 
as  part  of  the  decennial  census  through  1950.  From 
1954  to  1974,  the  census  was  taken  for  the  years 
ending  in  4 and  9.  In  1976,  Congress  changed  the  5- 
year  data  collection  cycle  to  years  ending  in  2 and  7 
to  coincide  with  other  economic  censuses.  That  5- 
year  cycle  continues  to  this  day. 

USES  OF  CENSUS  DATA 

The  census  of  agriculture  provides  a detailed  picture 
of  U.S.  farms  and  ranches  every  five  years.  It  is  the 
only  source  of  uniform,  comprehensive  agricultural 
data  for  every  State  and  county  or  county  equivalent. 
Census  of  agriculture  data  are  routinely  used  by  farm 
organizations,  businesses,  State  departments  of 
agriculture,  elected  representatives  and  legislative 
bodies  at  all  levels  of  government,  public  and  private 
sector  analysts,  the  news  media,  and  colleges  and 
universities.  The  data  are  frequently  used  to: 

• Show  the  importance  and  value  of  agriculture  at 
the  county,  state,  and  national  levels; 

• Provide  agricultural  news  media  and  agricultural 
associations’  benchmark  statistics  for  stories  and 
articles  on  U.S.  agriculture  and  the  foods  we 
produce; 

• Compare  the  income  and  costs  of  production; 

• Provide  important  data  about  the  demographics 
and  financial  well  being  of  producers; 

• Evaluate  historical  agricultural  trends  to 
formulate  farm  and  rural  policies  and  develop 
programs  that  help  agricultural  producers; 

• Allocate  local  and  national  funds  for  farm 
programs,  e.g.  extension  service  projects, 

INTRODUCTION  VII 


agricultural  research,  soil  conservation  programs, 
and  land-grant  colleges  and  universities; 

• Identify  the  assets  needed  to  support  agricultural 
production  such  as  land,  buildings,  machinery, 
and  other  equipment; 

• Create  an  extensive  database  of  information  on 
uncommon  crops  and  livestock  and  the  value  of 
those  commodities  for  assessing  the  need  to 
develop  policies  and  programs  to  support  those 
commodities; 

• Provide  geographic  data  on  production  so 
agribusinesses  will  locate  near  major  production 
areas  for  efficiencies  for  both  producers  and 
agribusinesses; 

• Measure  the  usage  of  modem  technologies  such 
as  conservation  practices,  organic  production, 
renewable  energy  systems,  internet  access,  and 
specialized  marketing  strategies; 

• Develop  new  and  improved  methods  to  increase 
agricultural  production  and  profitability; 

• Plan  for  operations  during  drought  and 
emergency  outbreaks  of  diseases  or  infestations 
of  pests. 

AUTHORITY 

The  2012  Census  of  Agriculture  is  required  by  law 
under  the  “Census  of  Agriculture  Act  of  1997,” 
Public  Law  105-113  (Title  7,  United  States  Code, 
Section  2204g).  The  law  directs  the  Secretary  of 
Agriculture  to  conduct  a census  of  agriculture  every 
fifth  year.  The  census  of  agriculture  includes  each 
State,  Puerto  Rico,  Guam,  the  U.S.  Virgin  Islands, 
the  Commonwealth  of  Northern  Mariana  Islands, 
and  American  Samoa. 

FARM  DEFINITION 

The  census  definition  of  a farm  is  any  place  from 
which  $1,000  or  more  of  agricultural  products  were 
produced  and  sold,  or  normally  would  have  been 
sold,  during  the  census  year.  The  definition  has 
changed  nine  times  since  it  was  established  in  1850. 

VIII  INTRODUCTION 


The  current  definition  was  first  used  for  the  1974 
Census  of  Agriculture  and  has  been  used  in  each 
subsequent  agriculture  census.  This  definition  is 
consistent  with  the  definition  used  for  current  USD  A 
surveys.  The  farm  definition  used  for  each  U.S. 
territory  varies.  The  report  for  each  territory 
includes  a discussion  of  its  farm  definition. 

DATA  COMPARABILITY 

Most  data  are  comparable  between  the  2012  and 
2007  censuses.  A few  changes  were  made  to  the 
2012  census  that  affect  comparability  for  some  data 
items.  See  Appendix  B,  General  Explanation  and 
Census  of  Agriculture  Report  Form,  Data  Changes 
for  a detailed  discussion  of  these  changes.  Dollar 
figures  are  expressed  in  current  dollars  and  have  not 
been  adjusted  for  inflation  or  deflation.  In  general, 
data  for  censuses  since  1974  are  not  fully 
comparable  with  data  for  1969  and  earlier  censuses 
due  to  changes  in  the  farm  definition. 

REFERENCE  PERIOD 

Reference  periods  for  the  2012  Census  of 
Agriculture  were  similar  to  those  used  in  the  2007 
Census  of  Agriculture.  Reference  periods  used  were: 

• Crop  production  is  measured  for  the  calendar 
year,  except  for  a few  crops  such  as  avocados, 
citrus,  and  olives  for  which  the  production  year 
overlaps  the  calendar  year.  See  Appendix  B, 
General  Explanation  and  Census  of  Agriculture 
Report  Form  for  details. 

• Livestock,  poultry,  and  machinery  and  equipment 
inventories,  market  value  of  land  and  buildings, 
and  grain  storage  capacity  are  measured  as  of 
December  3 1 of  the  census  year. 

• Crop  and  livestock  sales,  other  farm-related 
income,  direct  sales  income,  income  from  federal 
farm  programs,  Commodity  Credit  Corporation 
loans,  Conservation  Reserve,  Farmable  Wetlands, 
Conservation  Reserve  Enhancement,  and 
Wetlands  Reserve  Program  participation,  farm 
expenses,  chemical  and  fertilizer  use,  irrigated 
acreage,  and  hired  farm  labor  data  are  measured 
for  the  calendar  year.

TABLES  AND  APPENDICES 

Chapter  1.  Table  1 shows  State-level  historical  data 
through  the  1982  census  and  tables  2 through  63 
show  detailed  State-level  data  usually  accompanied 
by  historical  data  from  the  2007  census.  Tables  64 
through  70  show  detailed  State-level  data  cross- 
tabulated  by  several  categories  for  the  2012  census 
only. 

Chapter  2.  County-level  data  are  presented  in  55 
tables  in  2 different  table  formats  - county  and 
county  summary.  Most  tables  include  2007  historical 
data.  County  tables  include  general  data  for  all 
counties  within  the  State.  The  county  names  are 
listed  in  alphabetical  order  in  the  column  headings. 
County  summary  tables  provide  comprehensive  data 
for  all  counties  reporting  a data  item. 

Appendix  A.  Provides  information  about  data 
collection  and  data  processing  activities  and 
discusses  the  statistical  methodology  used  in 
conducting  and  evaluating  the  census.  Table  A 
summarizes  coverage,  nonresponse,  and 
misclassification  adjustment  for  selected  items  for 
the  State.  Table  B provides  reliability  estimates  of 
State  totals  for  selected  items.  Table  C summarizes 
coverage,  nonresponse,  and  misclassification 
adjustment  for  selected  items  at  the  county  level. 
Table  D provides  total  number  of  American  Indian 
or  Alaska  Native  farm  operators  both  on  and  off 
reservations  by  county. 

Appendix  B.  Includes  definitions  of  specific  terms 
and  phrases  used  in  this  publication,  including  items 
in  the  publication  tables  that  carry  the  note  "see 
text."  It  also  provides  facsimiles  of  the  report  form 
and  instruction  sheet  used  to  collect  data. 


RESPONDENT  CONFIDENTIALITY 

In  keeping  with  the  provisions  of  Title  7 of  the 
United  States  Code,  no  data  are  published  that  would 
disclose  information  about  the  operations  of  an 
individual  farm  or  ranch.  All  tabulated  data  are 
subjected  to  an  extensive  disclosure  review  prior  to 
publication.  Any  tabulated  item  that  identifies  data 
reported  by  a respondent  or  allows  a respondent’s 
data  to  be  accurately  estimated  or  derived,  was 
suppressed  and  coded  with  a ‘D\  However,  the

number  of  farms  reporting  an  item  is  not  considered 
confidential  information  and  is  provided  even  though 
other  information  is  withheld. 


SPECIAL  EFFORTS  DIRECTED  AT 
MINORITIES 

NASS  implemented  several  activities  to  improve 
coverage  of  minority  farm  operators.  These  activities 
included,  but  were  not  limited  to: 

• Obtaining  mail  lists  from  organizations  likely  to 
contain  names  and  addresses  of  minority  farm 
operators; 

• Conducting  pre-census  promotion  activities  that 
targeted  women,  American  Indian  and  Alaska 
Native,  Black  and  African  American,  and 
Spanish,  Hispanic,  or  Latino  origin  farm 
operators; 

• Special  emphasis  was  placed  on  collecting  data 
from  individual  operators  on  American  Indian 
reservations  in  three  States. 


SPECIAL  STUDIES  AND  CUSTOM 
TABULATIONS 

Special  studies  such  as  the  2013  Farm  and  Ranch 
Irrigation  Survey  and  the  2013  Census  of 
Aquaculture  are  part  of  the  census  program  and 
provide  supplemental  information  to  the  2012 
Census  of  Agriculture  in  the  respective  subject  area. 
Results  are  published  on  the  internet. 

Custom-designed  tabulations  may  be  developed 
when  data  are  not  published  elsewhere.  These 
tabulations  are  developed  to  individual  user 
specifications  on  a cost-reimbursable  basis  and 
shared  with  the  public.  Quick  Stats,  NASS’s  online 
database  that  allows  data  users  to  build  customized 
queries,  should  be  investigated  before  requesting  a 
custom  tabulation. 

All  special  studies  and  custom  tabulations  are  subject 
to  a thorough  disclosure  review  prior  to  release  to 
prevent  the  disclosure  of  any  individual  respondent 
data.  Requests  for  custom  tabulations  can  be 
submitted  via  the  internet  from  the  NASS  home

Appendix  A. 

Census  of  Agriculture  Methodology 


The  purpose  of  a census  is  to  enumerate  all  objects 
with  a defined  characteristic.  For  the  census  of 
agriculture,  that  goal  is  to  account  for  “any  place 
from  which  $1,000  or  more  of  agricultural  products 
were  produced  and  sold,  or  normally  would  have 
been  sold,  during  the  census  year.”  To  do  this,  NASS 
creates  a Census  Mail  List  (CML)  of  agricultural 
operations  that  potentially  meet  the  farm  definition, 
collects  agricultural  information  from  those 
operations,  reviews  the  data,  corrects  or  completes 
the  requested  information,  and  combines  the  data  to 
provide  information  on  the  characteristics  of  farm 
operations  and  farm  operators  at  the  national,  State, 
and  county  levels.  In  this  appendix,  these  census 
processes  are  described. 

THE  CENSUS  POPULATION 

The  Census  Mail  List 

The  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service  (NASS) 
maintains  a list  of  farmers  and  ranchers  from  which 
the  Census  Mail  List  (CML)  is  compiled.  The  goal  is 
to  build  as  complete  a list  as  possible  of  agricultural 
places  that  meet  the  farm  definition.  The  CML 
compilation  begins  with  the  list  used  to  define 
sampling  populations  for  NASS  surveys  conducted 
for  the  agricultural  estimates  program.  Each  record 
on  the  list  includes  name,  address,  and  telephone 
number  plus  additional  information  that  is  used  to 
efficiently  administer  the  census  of  agriculture  and 
agricultural  estimates  programs. 

NASS  builds  and  improves  the  list  on  an  ongoing 
basis  by  obtaining  outside  source  lists.  Sources 
include  State  and  federal  government  lists,  producer 
association  lists,  seed  grower  lists,  pesticide 
applicator  lists,  veterinarian  lists,  marketing 
association  lists,  and  a variety  of  other  agriculture- 
related  lists.  NASS  also  obtains  special  commodity 
lists  to  address  specific  list  deficiencies.  These 
outside  source  lists  are  matched  to  the  NASS  list 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


using  record  linkage  programs.  Most  names  on 
newly  acquired  lists  are  already  on  the  NASS  list. 
Records  not  on  the  NASS  list  are  treated  as  potential 
farms  until  NASS  can  confirm  their  existence  as  a 
qualifying  farm.  Staff  in  NASS  field  offices 
routinely  contact  these  potential  farms  to  determine 
whether  they  meet  the  farm  definition.  For  the  2012 
Census  of  Agriculture,  NASS  made  a concerted 
effort  to  work  with  Community-Based  Organizations 
not  only  to  improve  list  coverage  for  minorities  but 
also  to  increase  census  awareness  and  participation. 

List  building  activities  for  developing  the  2012  CML 
started  in  2009  by  updating  list  information  from 
respondents  to  the  2007  Census  of  Agriculture. 
Between  2010  and  2012,  NASS  conducted  a series 
of  National  Agricultural  Classification  Surveys 
(NACS)  on  approximately  1.7  million  records, 
which  included  nonrespondents  from  the  2007 
census  and  newly  added  records  from  outside  list 
sources.  The  NACS  report  forms  collected 
information  that  was  used  to  determine  whether  an 
operation  met  the  farm  definition.  If  the  definition 
was  met,  the  operation  was  added  to  the  NASS  list 
and  subsequently  to  the  CML.  Addressees  that  were 
nonrespondents  to  a NACS  were  also  added  to  the 
CML  and  identified  with  a special  status  code. 

Measures  were  taken  to  improve  name  and  address 
quality.  Additional  record  linkage  programs  were 
run  to  detect  and  remove  duplicate  records  both 
within  each  State  and  across  States.  List  addresses 
were  processed  through  the  United  States  Postal 
Service’s  National  Change  of  Address  Registry  and 
the  Locatable  Address  Conversion  System  to  ensure 
they  were  correct  and  complete.  Records  on  the  list 
with  missing  or  invalid  phone  numbers  were 
matched  against  a nationally  available  telephone 
database  to  obtain  as  many  phone  numbers  as 
possible.  To  reduce  costs,  operations  with 
characteristics  that  indicated  they  were  unlikely  to  be 
farms,  according  to  the  farm  definition,  were 

APPENDIX  A A- 1 


removed  from  the  list. 

The  official  CML  for  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture 
was  established  on  September  1,  2012.  The  list 
contained  3,009,641  records.  There  were  2,387,326 
records  that  were  thought  to  meet  the  NASS  farm 
definition  and  622,315  potential  farm  records,  which 
included  NACS  nonrespondents,  other  records  added 
to  the  CML  by  the  NASS  field  offices  after  the 
record  linkage  process,  and  late  adds  to  the  CML 
that  were  not  included  in  any  previous  NACS  or 
State  screening  survey. 

Not  on  the  Mail  List  (NML) 

Extensive  efforts  are  directed  toward  developing  a 
CML  that  includes  all  farms  in  the  U.S.  However, 
some  farms  are  not  on  the  list,  and  some  agricultural 
operations  on  the  list  are  not  farms.  NASS  uses  its 
June  Agricultural  Survey  (JAS)  to  quantify  the 
number  and  types  of  farms  not  on  the  CML.  The 
tracts  in  the  JAS  that  are  not  on  the  CML  are  said  to 
be  in  the  Not  on  the  Mail  List  (NML)  domain.  If  a 
tract  in  the  NML  domain  is  determined  to  be  a farm 
during  the  census,  it  is  an  NML  farm.  The  NML 
farms  are  used  to  estimate  the  undercoverage 
associated  with  the  census. 

The  NASS  area  frame,  which  is  used  for  the  JAS, 
covers  all  land  in  the  U.S.  and  includes  all  farms. 
The  land  in  the  U.S.  is  stratified  by  characteristics  of 
the  land.  A probability  sample  of  segments  is  drawn 
within  each  stratum  for  the  JAS.  Segments  of 
approximately  equal  size  are  delineated  within  each 
stratum  and  designated  on  aerial  photographs.  The 
JAS  sample  of  segments  is  allocated  to  strata  to 
provide  accurate  measures  of  acres  planted  to  widely 
grown  crops,  farm  numbers,  and  inventories  of 
cattle.  Sampled  segments  in  the  JAS  are  personally 
enumerated.  Each  operation  identified  within  a 
segment  boundary  is  known  as  a tract. 

The  2012  JAS  sample  was  increased  to  improve  the 
farm  counts  for  operations  that  produced  specialty 
commodities  or  had  socially  disadvantaged  or 
minority  operators.  The  total  sample  consisted  of 
14,376  segments  of  which  3,291  were  additional 
segments  added  to  facilitate  the  use  of  the  JAS  as  an 
Agricultural  Coverage  Evaluation  Survey  (ACES). 
The  additional  segments  were  added  based  upon 

A- 2 APPENDIX  A 


multivariate  sample  allocations  to  target  specific 
items  at  the  U.S.  level.  The  2012  JAS  consisted  of 
sample  segments  from  all  States,  with  the  exception 
of  Alaska  where  NASS  does  not  maintain  an  area 
frame. 

During  the  JAS  prescreening  operation,  each  tract  is 
identified  as  either  agricultural  or  non-agricultural. 
Each  JAS  agricultural  tract  is  identified  as  a farm  or 
non-farm  in  June  based  on  the  farm  definition.  Non- 
agricultural  tracts  are  further  classified  into 
categories;  with  farm  potential,  with  unknown  farm 
potential,  or  with  no  farm  potential.  The  names  and 
addresses  collected  in  the  2012  JAS  were  matched  to 
the  CML.  Those  from  the  JAS  2012  survey  that  did 
not  match  were  determined  to  be  in  the  NML  domain 
and  sent  a yellow  census  report  form  so  that  they 
could  be  differentiated  from  the  green  report  form 
sent  to  those  addressees  on  the  CML.  Instructions 
on  the  census  report  form  directed  any  respondent 
who  received  duplicate  forms  to  complete  the  CML 
form  and  to  mail  all  duplicate  forms  back  together. 
Those  who  returned  a CML  and  an  NML  form  had 
been  misclassified  as  NML  and  were  removed  from 
the  NML  domain. 

The  initial  NML  mailout  consisted  of  36,021 
records.  An  additional  403  June  area  tracts  linked  to 
Census  records  that  were  Undeliverable  as 
Addressed  (UAA)  were  later  added  to  the  NML 
domain.  A total  of  36,424  NML  records  were 
summarized  of  which  5,565  records  were  truly  NML 
and  in-scope. 

The  farm/nonfarm  status  of  each  NML  domain 
operation  was  determined  based  on  the  reported  data 
in  the  census  form.  An  operation  in  the  NML  domain 
that  was  determined  to  be  a farm  is  referred  to  as  an 
NML  farm.  Characteristics  of  NML  farms  and  their 
operators  provided  a measure  of  the  undercoverage 
of  farms  on  the  CML.  The  percentage  of  farms  not 
represented  on  the  CML  varied  considerably  by 
State.  In  general,  NML  farms  tended  to  be  small  in 
acreage,  production,  and  sales  of  agricultural 
products.  Farm  operations  were  missing  from  the 
CML  for  various  reasons,  including  the  possibility 
that  the  operation  started  after  development  of  the 
CML,  the  operation  was  so  small  that  it  did  not 
appear  in  any  agriculture-related  source  list,  or  the 
operation  was  misclassified  as  a nonfarm  prior  to 
census  mailout.  The  CML  was  used  with  the  NML  in

a capture-recapture  framework  to  represent  all 
farming  operations  across  all  States  in  the  JAS 
sample. 

DATA  COLLECTION  OUTREACH  AND 
PROMOTIONAL  EFFORTS 

NASS  planned  and  executed  a multi-phase  strategic 
communications  campaign  for  the  2012  Census  of 
Agriculture,  to  increase  the  level  of  awareness  and 
response  among  all  U.S.  agricultural  producers. 

• Phase  1 ran  from  October  2011  - July  2012.  It 
raised  awareness  about  the  census  and  list 
building,  encouraged  producers  to  sign  up  in 
response  to  NASS  mailings  and  at  community, 
association,  and  other  stakeholder  meetings  where 
NASS  partners  reached  out. 

• Phase  2 ran  from  July  2012  - December  2012.  It 
notified  farm  operators  and  agricultural 
organizations  that  the  census  would  be  mailed  in 
December,  and  encouraged  communications 
regarding  the  census. 

• Phase  3 ran  from  December  2012  - July  2013.  It 
focused  on  census  data  collection  with  messaging 
urging  response,  reminding  operators  that  it’s-not- 
too-late-to-respond,  and  thank-you  messaging. 

• Phase  4 began  in  February  2014.  It  communicated 
information  about  the  data  release  plan,  which  has 
four  phases: 

■ Phase  A (November  2012  - December  2013) 
focused  on  thanking  farmers  for  their 
participation  in  the  census  and  partners  for 
their  leadership. 

■ Phase  B (January  2014  - February  2014)  drew 
attention  to  the  preliminary  census  release. 

■ Phase  C (February  2014  through  May  2014) 
focused  on  the  final  census  release. 

■ Phase  D (ongoing)  continues  to  focus  on  the 
census  findings  as  they  are  released. 

As  part  of  the  plan,  NASS  targeted  selective 
communications  and  outreach  efforts  on  beginning 
and  minority  farm  operators.  All  of  these  efforts 
were  accomplished  through  an  integrated 
communications  program  that  focused  on  four 
primary  areas:  partnership  building,  local-level 

outreach,  public  relations,  and  paid  media.  External 
support  was  provided  by  a private  agricultural 
communications  agency. 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


The  unifying  force  behind  the  2012  communications 
campaign  was  the  theme  “There’s  Strength  in 
Numbers.”  This  was  accompanied  by  supporting 
messages  and  artwork  that  created  a consistent  look 
and  feel  for  all  census  communications.  All 
messages  and  materials  served  the  purpose  of 
inspiring  action:  Grow  Your  Farm  Future  - Shape 
Your  Farm  Programs  - Boost  Your  Rural  Services  - 
Fill  out  your  Census  of  Agriculture  - Do  your  part  to 
he  counted  - There 's  strength  in  numbers. 

Partnership  and  Local-Level  Outreach 

At  the  national  level,  NASS  officials  met  with 
leaders  from  dozens  of  key  agricultural 
organizations,  State  departments  of  agriculture,  and 
other  USDA  agencies,  to  successfully  secure  their 
support  in  promoting  the  census  among  their 
constituencies.  Stakeholders  partnered  with  NASS  to 
promote  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture  through 
publications,  special  mailings,  speeches,  social 
media,  websites,  and  other  communications.  In 
addition,  through  grassroots-level  outreach  and 
efforts,  NASS  partnered  with  a number  of 
community-based  organizations  to  reach  minority 
and  limited-resource  farmers  and  ranchers.  All 
national-level  outreach  was  encouraged  and  mirrored 
at  the  regional,  State,  and  local  levels.  Among  the 
highlights  of  these  partnership  efforts  was  the 
production  of  more  than  40  television  and  radio 
public  service  announcements  (PSAs)  featuring  the 
U.S.  Secretary  of  Agriculture,  State  secretaries, 
directors,  and  commissioners  of  agriculture  and 
leaders  from  community-based  organizations.  The 
PSAs,  available  in  both  English  and  Spanish, 
encouraged  farmers  and  ranchers  to  respond  to  the 
2012  Census  of  Agriculture. 

Coverage  of  American  Indian  and  Alaska 
Native  Farm  Operators 

To  maximize  coverage  of  American  Indian  and 
Alaska  Native  farm  operators,  special  procedures 
were  followed  in  the  census.  A concerted  effort  was 
made  to  get  individual  reports  from  every  American 
Indian  and  Alaska  Native  farm  operator  in  the 
country.  If  this  was  not  possible  within  some 
reservations,  a single  reservation-level  census  report 
was  obtained  from  knowledgeable  reservation 
officials.  These  reports  covered  agricultural  activity 

APPENDIX  A A- 3 


on  the  entire  reservation.  NASS  reviewed  these  data 
and  removed  duplication  with  any  data  reported  by 
American  Indian  or  Alaska  Native  farm  operators 
who  responded  on  an  individual  census  report  form. 
Additionally  NASS  obtained,  from  knowledgeable 
reservation  officials,  the  count  of  American  Indian 
and  Alaska  Native  farm  operators  (on  reservations) 
who  were  not  counted  through  individual  census 
report  forms,  but  whose  agricultural  activity  was 
included  in  the  reservation-level  report  form. 

This  information  is  summarized  in  Table  D, 
American  Indian  and  Alaska  Native  Operators: 
2012,  providing  the  number  of  farm  operators  (for  up 
to  three  operators  per  farm)  reported  as  American 
Indian  or  Alaska  Native  in  the  race  category,  either 
as  a single  race  or  in  combination  with  other  races, 
on  the  individual  census  report  forms,  plus  the  total 
number  of  American  Indian  or  Alaska  Native 
operators  farming  on  reservations  as  reported  by 
reservation  officials.  The  count  from  the  individual 
report  forms  is  summarized  in  the  “Individually 
reported”  column.  It  includes  operators  on  or  off 
reservations.  The  “Other”  column  provides  counts 
of  operators  on  reservations  as  reported  by  a 
reservation  or  tribal  official.  The  “Total”  column  is 
simply  a sum  of  the  “Individually  reported”  and  the 
“Other”  columns.  Tables  in  other  parts  of  the 
publication  count  the  reservation-level  reports  as 
single  farms. 

Public  Relations 

In  the  public  relations  arena,  NASS  and  the 
contractor  worked  with  internal  and  external 
stakeholders  to  equip  them  with  communications 
tools  and  resources  to  deliver  the  census 
communications  message  to  their  audiences.  NASS 
utilized  its  Intranet  to  deliver  materials  to  the  12 
regional  and  46  field  offices  and  created  a “Partner 
to  Promote  the  Census”  portal  on  the  census  website 
to  deliver  public  relations  materials  and  tools  to 
external  stakeholders.  The  materials  included,  but 
were  not  limited  to:  customizable  news  releases, 
feature  stories,  newsletter  articles,  blogs;  drop-in 
advertisements;  website  buttons  and  banners; 
PowerPoint  templates;  brochures;  and  more.  In 
addition,  at  the  national  level  NASS  issued  a dozen 
news  releases  citing  department  and  agency 
spokespeople  and  published  timely  and  relevant 

A- 4 APPENDIX  A 


pieces  to  the  USDA  blog  highlighting  the  census. 
These  public  relations  efforts  at  the  national,  State, 
and  local  levels  helped  ensure  that  NASS’ s message 
about  the  census  was  continually  in  the  media, 
including  print  and  online  publications,  a variety  of 
social  media,  radio,  and  some  television  programs. 
Media  outlets  included  both  those  specializing  in 
agriculture  and  more  general  outlets. 

Paid  Media 

For  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture,  NASS  placed 
special  emphasis  on  reaching  new  and  beginning 
farmers,  while  continuing  efforts  to  improve  its 
reach  within  previously  under-represented 
populations.  Even  with  increasingly  limited  budgets 
and  resources,  NASS  was  able  to  apply  a portion  of 
funds  towards  paid  media.  Strategically,  NASS 
purchased  limited  print  and  online  advertising  in 
areas  where  there  was  the  potential  for  high 
concentrations  of  under-represented  populations  and 
new  and  beginning  farmers  and  ranchers. 

DATA  COLLECTION 

Method  of  Enumeration 

Data  collection  was  accomplished  primarily  by 
mailout/mailback,  but  supplemented  with  Electronic 
Data  Reporting  (EDR)  on  the  Internet,  and  personal 
enumeration  for  special  classes  of  records  in  the 
census  operations.  Personal  enumeration 
(interviewing)  involved  the  use  of  both  Computer- 
Assisted  Telephone  Interviewing  (CATI)  and 
Computer- Assisted  Personal  Interviewing  (CAPI). 
Enumerators  at  the  NASS  National  Operations 
Center  in  St.  Louis,  MO  conducted  CATI  data 
collection.  In  addition,  enumerators  under  contract 
with  NASS  through  the  National  Association  of 
State  Departments  of  Agriculture  (NASDA) 
conducted  phone  and  personal  interviews  with 
respondents.  For  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture, 
NASS  implemented  a pre-notification  strategy  in  an 
effort  to  increase  awareness,  improve  overall 
responses,  and  encourage  respondents  to  report  early 
to  avoid  continued  correspondence.  All  records  in 
the  initial  mailout  received  either  a postcard  or  pre- 
recorded voice  message  announcing  the  census  mail 
packets  were  coming.

Report  Forms 

There  were  seven  regionalized  versions  of  the  report 
forms  used  for  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture.  The 
report  form  versions  were  designed  to  facilitate 
reporting  crops  most  commonly  grown  within  each 
report  form  region.  Additionally,  an  American 
Indian  report  form  was  developed  to  facilitate 
reporting  for  operations  on  reservations  in  Arizona, 
New  Mexico,  and  Utah.  The  regional  report  form 
numbers  are:  12-A101,  12-A102,  12-A103,  12- 
A104,  12-A105,  12-A106  and  12-A107  (HI).  The 
American  Indian  report  form  is  12-A200.  All  of  the 
forms  allowed  respondents  to  write  in  specific 
commodities  that  were  not  listed  on  their  form. 

Report  Form  Mailings 

Pre-notification  by  postcard  or  pre-recorded  message 
began  December  10,  2012.  Approximately  3.0 
million  mail  packets  were  mailed  in  December  2012. 
Each  packet  contained  a cover  letter,  instruction 
sheet,  a labeled  report  form,  and  a return  envelope. 
The  Census  Bureau’s  National  Processing  Center 
(NPC)  in  Jeffersonville,  IN  was  contracted  to 
perform  mail  packet  preparation,  initial  mailout,  and 
two  follow-up  mailings  to  nonrespondents. 

The  initial  mailout  was  followed  by  a thank-you 
reminder  postcard  that  was  delivered  in  January 
2013  to  all  operations  that  received  mail  packets. 
First  follow-up  mail  packets  were  mailed  in  mid- 
February  2013  to  approximately  1.0  million 
nonrespondents.  Second  follow-up  mail  packets 
were  mailed  in  mid-March  2013  to  approximately 
750,000  nonrespondents. 

Personal  Follow-up 

Operating  concurrently  with  NPC’s  mail  data 
collection  efforts,  NASS  telephone  call  centers 
targeted  selected  groups  of  census  nonrespondents 
for  telephone  enumeration.  NASS  field  offices 
targeted  selected  groups  of  census  records  for  in- 
person  enumeration.  These  efforts  were  referred  to 
as: 

• Suspicious  Out  of  Scope  Follow-up 

• Criteria  Record  Follow-up 

• Must  Case  Follow-up 

• American  Indian  and  Alaska  Native  Farm

Operator  Follow-up 

• Fow  Response  County  Follow-up 

• Fast  Call  Nonresponse  Follow-up 

• Not  on  Mail  Fist  (NMF)  Follow-up 

Suspicious  Out-of-Scope  Follow-up.  The  Suspi- 
cious Out-of-Scope  Follow-up  was  a phone  follow- 
up that  began  in  February  2013  and  was  conducted 
through  May  2013.  It  included  records  that  mailed 
their  form  back  with  a response  that  they  were  no 
longer  farming.  These  operations  had  reported 
agricultural  information  in  another  survey  during 
2012.  The  operations  were  re-contacted  with  a CATI 
instrument  to  either  verify  the  respondent  was  not 
farming  or  complete  a census  report  form. 

Criteria  Record  Follow-up.  Nonrespondents  and 
refusals  to  the  National  Agricultural  Classification 
Surveys  received  unique  coding  on  the  CMF  and  are 
referred  to  collectively  as  Criteria  Records  for 
follow-up  data  collection.  These  Criteria  Records 
typically  had  a lower  probability  of  meeting  the  farm 
definition  and  were  less  likely  to  respond.  It  was 
critical  to  identify  those  records  in  this  group  that 
represented  farms  to  provide  coverage  of  the  small 
farm  population.  Small  farms  make  up  a significant 
portion  of  the  overall  U.S.  farm  population. 

For  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture,  276,043  Criteria 
Records  were  included  in  the  Census  Mail  Fist 
(CMF).  A sample  of  23,739  Criteria  Records  was 
selected  for  targeted  data  collection  efforts.  The 
sampled  records  were  first  contacted  by  telephone 
using  the  census  CATI  instrument  beginning  in 
February  2013  after  the  initial  mail  returns  were 
processed.  Certified  mail  to  18,831  respondents  was 
used  for  those  who  could  not  be  contacted  by 
telephone.  Data  collection  resulted  in  10,887  returns 
from  both  telephone  and  certified  mail.  The  in- scope 
rate  from  the  returns  was  applied  to  the  remaining 
criteria  records  during  replication,  which  is  described 
in  the  next  sub-section. 

Must  Case  Follow-up.  Must  cases  were  known 
large  operations,  the  absence  of  which  could  have 
significantly  affected  the  accuracy  of  census  results. 
For  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture,  118,533  records 
were  categorized  as  Must  cases.  Each  active  Must 
operation  was  accounted  for  by  mail  receipt,  phone 
interview,  or  personal  enumeration;  if  an  operation 
was  no  longer  in  operation,  its  nonfarm  status  was 

APPENDIX  A A- 5 


documented.  CATI  calling  of  nonrespondent  Must 
cases  was  undertaken  by  call  centers  from  March 
2013  through  May  2013,  after  the  initial  and  first 
follow-up  mailing.  Following  the  CATI  calling,  the 
remaining  nonresponse  Must  cases  were  assigned  to 
field  offices  for  personal  enumeration.  Because  of 
the  potential  importance  of  Must  cases,  they  were  all 
accounted  for  and  therefore  not  eligible  for 
nonresponse  weighting  adjustment. 

American  Indian  and  Alaska  Native  Farm 
Operator  Follow-up.  The  American  Indian  report 
form  (12-A200)  was  mailed  to  all  operations  in 
Arizona,  New  Mexico  and  Utah  thought  to  have  an 
American  Indian  or  Alaska  Native  operator.  It  was 
included  in  the  initial  mailout,  but  due  to  poor  mail 
response  a personal  enumeration  data  collection 
strategy  was  utilized  with  no  additional  mail  follow- 
up. A concerted  effort  was  made  to  get  individual 
reports  from  every  American  Indian  and  Alaska 
Native  farm  operator  in  the  country.  If  this  was  not 
possible  within  a reservation,  a single  reservation- 
level  census  report  was  obtained  from 
knowledgeable  reservation  officials.  These  reports 
covered  agricultural  activity  on  the  entire 
reservation.  The  NASS  reviewed  these  data  and 
removed  any  duplicate  data  reported  by  American 
Indian  or  Alaska  Native  farm  operators  from  that 
reservation  who  responded  on  an  individual  census 
report  form.  Additionally  NASS  obtained,  from 
knowledgeable  reservation  officials,  the  count  of 
American  Indian  and  Alaska  Native  farm  operators 
(on  the  reservations)  who  were  not  counted  through 
individual  census  report  forms,  but  whose 

agricultural  activity  was  included  in  the  reservation- 
level  report  form. 

Low  Response  County  Follow-up.  The  Low 

Response  County  (LRC)  follow-up  activity  was  used 
to  increase  the  response  rate  in  all  counties  to  at  least 
75  percent.  CATI  was  used  for  this  follow-up 
activity.  NASS  utilized  an  adaptive  design  technique 
to  identify  particular  records  for  telephone  contact, 
in  an  effort  to  increase  coverage  on  minority 
operations  and  operations  known  to  produce 
specialty  commodities.  In  early  April  2013,  NASS 
identified  nonresponse  cases  in  counties  with  a 
response  rate  of  less  than  75  percent.  Nonresponse 
records  in  these  counties  were  then  prioritized  so  that 
minority  operations  and  specialty  commodity 
producers  were  the  primary  records  delivered  to 

A- 6 APPENDIX  A 


phone  enumerators.  Nonrespondent  telephone 
contact  information  was  transmitted  electronically  to 
NASS  call  centers  and  incorporated  into  their  CATI 
instrument.  CATI  follow-up  activities  began  in  mid- 
April  2013  and  continued  through  mid- June  2012. 
Automated  procedures  were  employed  biweekly  to 
ensure  that  the  record  selection  procedures  were 
targeting  counties  that  would  meet  the  goals  of 
increasing  minority  operation  coverage  and  to 
monitor  the  number  of  respondents  needed  to  reach 
the  75  percent  county  response  rate.  When  the 
required  number  of  completions  was  achieved  for  a 
given  county,  LRC  activity  was  suspended  in  that 
county. 

Last  Call  Nonresponse  Follow-up.  The  Last  Call 
Nonresponse  Follow-up  activity  was  utilized  to 
increase  the  national  response  rate  to  80  percent.  All 
remaining  nonresponse  records  with  an  expected 
value  of  sales  greater  than  $50,000  in  counties  that 
had  not  achieved  a 75 -percent  response  rate  were 
eligible  for  this  phone  follow-up  activity.  CATI  was 
used  for  this  activity  and  began  in  mid-July  2013  and 
lasted  until  August  1,  2013.  Automated  procedures 
were  employed  to  monitor  the  number  of 
respondents  needed  and  completed.  When  a 75 
percent  response  rate  was  achieved  for  a given 
county,  follow-up  in  that  county  was  suspended. 
NASS  achieved  its  goal  of  an  80-percent  national 
response  rate  utilizing  Last  Call  Nonresponse 
Follow-up. 

Not  on  the  Mail  List  (NML)  Follow-up.  To 

account  for  farming  operations  not  on  the  CML, 
NASS  used  its  2012  JAS  supplemented  sample  from 
the  NASS  area  frame.  The  NASS  area  frame  covers 
all  land  in  the  U.S.  with  the  exception  of  Alaska  and 
includes  all  farms.  As  previously  described,  the 
NASS  conducted  a record  linkage  operation  between 
the  CML  records  and  the  records  from  the  2012  JAS. 
Those  2012  JAS  records  that  did  not  match  records 
on  the  CML  were  designated  as  “Not  on  the  Mail 
List  (NML)”  records.  These  records  were  mailed  a 
yellow  census  form  so  that  it  could  be  differentiated 
from  the  green  forms  mailed  to  CML  records.  The 
NML  records  were  mailed  at  the  same  time  as  the 
census  mailing  and  received  the  same  follow-up 
procedures  as  the  census  mailing  through  the  first 
follow-up  in  mid-February  2013.  Beginning  in 
March  2013,  CATI  was  used  for  nonresponse 
follow-up  for  NML  nonrespondents.

Replication 

Replication  is  utilized  to  improve  efficiency  and 
reduce  respondent  burden.  To  adjust  for 
nonresponse  associated  with  criteria  records  in  the 
2007  Census  of  Agriculture,  NASS  replicated  a set 
of  respondents  determined  to  be  in-scope  from  the 
last  mailing  of  the  Agricultural  Identification  Survey 
(AIS),  conducted  in  December  2006.  The  replicated 
records  represented  operations  that  were  relatively 
small  in  size  and  homogeneous  in  nature.  Replicated 
records  were  assumed  to  be  in-scope,  based  on  their 
AIS  reported  data. 

For  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture,  a first  mailing 
was  sent  to  the  criteria  records,  a subpopulation 
consisting  of  all  of  the  approximately  74,000 
respondents  to  the  2011  NACS  mailing.  This 
included  pre-notification  using  a pre-recorded 
message,  the  first  mailing,  and  the  thank-you 
reminder  post  card.  No  further  follow-up  efforts 
were  conducted  on  this  subpopulation.  As  in  2007, 
the  agricultural  operations  in  this  subpopulation  were 
relatively  small  in  size  and  homogeneous  in  nature. 
The  responses  from  the  criteria  records  were  used  to 
estimate  the  in-scope  rate  for  the  20,168 
nonrespondents  from  this  subpopulation. 

Records  were  selected  randomly  for  replication  or 
coding  as  out-of-scope  based  on  the  estimated  in- 
scope rate.  The  use  of  the  in-scope  rate  after  one 
mailing  is  supported  by  analysis  of  2007  census  data, 
which  indicated  the  early  in-scope  rate  was  a 
reasonable  proxy  for  the  in-scope  rate  for  the 
subpopulation  of  criteria  records  that  did  not  respond 
to  the  NACS  immediately  preceding  the  census 
mailing.  Of  the  20,168  NACS  records  with  no 
response,  16,762  records  were  selected  to  be  in- 
scope. 

Data  relationships  between  the  2012  responses  and 
their  respective  NACS  data  were  applied  to  the 
NACS  data  for  the  nonrespondents  selected  to  be  in- 
scope to  derive  values  to  seed  replication.  Then 
replication  was  conducted  through  imputation. 

Criteria  records  with  no  response  to  the  December 

2011  NACS  were  excluded  in  the  capture-recapture 
adjustments  for  coverage,  response,  or  correct 
classification.  The  in-scope  records  were  each  given 
an  initial  weight  of  one.  However,  for  calibration,  the 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


replicated  in-scope  records  were  eligible  for  a 
coverage  adjustment. 

REPORT  FORM  PROCESSING 
Data  Capture 

The  Census  Bureau’s  National  Processing  Center 
(NPC)  in  Jeffersonville,  IN  was  contracted  to 
process  returned  mail  packets.  NASS  staff  on  site  at 
the  NPC  provided  technical  guidance  and  monitored 
NPC  processing  activities.  All  report  forms  returned 
to  the  NPC  were  immediately  checked  in,  using  bar 
codes  printed  on  the  mailing  label,  and  removed 
from  follow-up  report  form  mailings.  All  forms  with 
any  data  were  scanned  and  an  image  was  made  of 
each  page  of  a report  form.  Optical  Mark 
Recognition  (OMR)  was  used  to  capture  categorical 
responses  and  to  identify  the  other  answer  zones  in 
which  some  type  of  mark  was  present. 

Data  entry  operators  keyed  data  from  the  scanned 
images  using  OMR  results  that  highlighted  the  areas 
of  the  report  forms  with  respondent  entries.  The 
keyer  evaluated  the  contents  and  captured  pertinent 
responses.  Ten  percent  of  the  captured  data  were 
keyed  a second  time  for  quality  control.  If 
differences  existed  between  the  first  keyed  value  and 
the  second,  an  adjudicator  handled  resolution.  The 
decision  of  the  adjudicator  was  used  to  grade  the 
performance  of  the  keyers,  who  were  required  to 
maintain  a certain  accuracy  level. 

The  images  and  the  captured  data  were  transferred  to 
NASS’s  centralized  network  and  became  available  to 
field  offices  and  headquarters  on  a flow  basis.  The 
images  were  available  for  use  in  all  stages  of  review. 
Images  were  computer  generated  for  reports 
obtained  from  the  telephone  interviews  and  the 
Internet. 


Editing  Data 

Captured  data  were  processed  through  a computer 
formatting  program,  which  verified  that  records  were 
valid  - that  the  record  identification  number  was  on 
the  list  of  census  records,  that  the  reported  counties 
of  operation  and  production  were  valid,  and  other 
related  criteria.  Rejected  records  were  referred  to 

APPENDIX  A A- 7 


analysts  for  correction.  Accepted  records  were  sent 
to  a complex  computer  batch  edit  process.  Each 
execution  of  the  computer  edit  in  batch  mode 
consisted  of  records  from  only  one  State  and  flowed 
as  the  data  were  received  from  the  NPC,  the  NASS 
Electronic  Data  Reporting  (EDR)  web  utility,  or  the 
Computer- Assisted  Telephone  Interview  (CATI) 
applications. 

The  computer  edit  determined  whether  a reporting 
operation  met  the  qualifying  criteria  to  be  counted  as 
a farm  (in-scope).  The  edit  examined  each  in-scope 
record  for  reasonableness  and  completeness  and 
determined  whether  to  accept  the  recorded  value  for 
each  data  item  or  to  take  corrective  action.  Such 
corrective  actions  included  removing  erroneously 
reported  values,  replacing  an  unreasonable  value 
with  one  consistent  with  other  reported  data,  or 
providing  a value  for  an  overlooked  item.  To  the 
extent  possible,  the  computer  edit  determined  a 
replacement  value.  Strategies  for  determining 
replacement  values  are  discussed  in  the  next  section. 
Operations  failing  to  meet  the  qualifying  criteria 
were  categorized  as  out-of-scope  for  the  census;  that 
is,  they  were  classified  as  being  a nonfarm.  Out-of- 
scope records  that  NASS  had  reason  to  believe  might 
be  in-scope  (indications  of  recent  and/or  significant 
agricultural  activity  reported  on  NASS  surveys,  for 
example)  were  referred  to  analysts  for  verification. 

The  edit  systematically  checked  reported  data 
section-by-section  with  the  overall  objective  of 
achieving  an  internally  consistent  and  complete 
report.  NASS  subject-matter  experts  had  previously 
defined  the  criteria  for  acceptable  data.  Problems 
that  could  not  be  resolved  within  the  edit  were 
referred  to  an  analyst  for  intervention.  Prior  to  the 
census  mailout,  NASS  established  a group  of  90 
analysts  in  a Census  Editing  Unit  in  the  National 
Operations  Center  in  St.  Louis,  MO  who  examined 
the  scanned  images,  consulted  additional  sources  of 
information,  and  determined  an  appropriate  action. 
Field  office  analysts  also  participated  using  an 
interactive  version  of  the  edit  program  to  submit 
corrected  data  and  immediately  re-edit  the  record  to 
ensure  a satisfactory  solution. 

Imputing  Data 

The  edit  determined  the  best  value  to  impute  for 
reported  responses  that  were  deemed  unreasonable 

A- 8 APPENDIX  A 


and  for  required  responses  that  were  absent.  If  an 
item  could  not  be  calculated  directly  from  other 
current  responses,  the  edit  determined  whether 
acreage,  production  or  inventory  items  had  been 
reported  for  that  farm  on  a recent  NASS  crop  or 
livestock  survey.  For  operators  who  had  not 
changed  in  five  years,  demographic  variables  such  as 
race  and  sex  were  taken  from  the  previous  census. 
Administrative  data  from  the  Farm  Service  Agency 
were  used  for  a few  items,  such  as  Conservation 
Reserve  Program  acreage.  When  deterministic  edit 
logic  and  previously-reported  data  sources  proved 
inadequate,  data  from  a reporting  farm  of  similar 
type,  size,  and  location  (a  donor  farm)  were 
considered.  In  cases  where  automated  imputation 
was  unable  to  provide  a consistent  report,  the  record 
was  referred  to  an  analyst  for  resolution. 

Separate  system  processes  were  established  to 
efficiently  provide  data  from  a similar  farm  to  the 
edit  when  donor  imputation  was  required.  The  farm 
characteristics  used  to  define  similarity  between  a 
recipient  record  and  its  donor  record  were 
determined  dynamically  by  the  edit  logic. 
Euclidean  distance  was  used  for  similarity 
computations,  with  each  contributing  similarity 
characteristic  scaled  appropriately.  The  most  similar 
farm  based  on  this  criterion  (the  “nearest  neighbor’) 
was  identified  and  returned  to  the  edit  for  use  as  a 
donor.  The  calculated  distance  between  the 
centroids  of  the  principal  counties  of  production  of 
the  donor  and  recipient  was  always  included  as  one 
of  the  measures  of  similarity. 

To  provide  donors  to  the  automated  edit,  a pool  of 
successfully  edited  records  was  maintained  for  each 
section  of  the  report  form.  These  donor  pools  began 
with  2007  census  data,  reconfigured  to  emulate  2012 
data  and  then  edited  using  2012  logic.  Data  from  the 
2010  Census  Content  Test  were  similarly  remapped 
and  edited  before  being  added  to  the  original  donor 
pools.  As  2012  records  were  successfully  processed, 
they  were  added  to  the  donor  pools,  which 
maintained  the  most  recent  data  for  each  farm. 
Donor  pools  were  updated  approximately  every 
other  week,  as  determined  by  edit  processing 
schedules.  After  several  updates,  all  initial  data 
records  were  dropped,  leaving  only  2012  records  in 
the  donor  pools.  After  each  update,  donor  pool 
records  were  grouped  into  strata  containing  farms  in 
the  same  state  of  similar  type  and  size,  using  a data- 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


driven  algorithm  to  define  strata.  Certain  American 
Indian  farms  were  treated  as  a separate  group, 
effectively  having  their  own  donor  pool. 

In  response  to  each  donor  request  issued  by  the  edit, 
a dedicated  system  process  would  search  the 
appropriate  stratum  and  respond  with  the  most 
similar  donor,  while  giving  preference  to  more 
recent  donors.  In  relatively  rare  instances  where  it 
was  unable  to  provide  a donor,  the  donor  selection 
process  issued  an  appropriate  failure  message  to  the 
edit.  Imputation  failures  occurred  for  several 
different  reasons.  The  requirement  that  an  imputed 
value  be  positive  could  have  ruled  out  all  available 
donors,  as  could  have  the  necessity  for  the  donor 
record  to  satisfy  a particular  constraint  - say,  that  the 
donor  record  has  cattle,  but  no  milk  cows.  In 
general,  an  imputation  failure  occurred  if  there  was 
no  satisfactory  donor  in  the  same  profile  as  the  report 
being  edited.  Records  with  imputation  failures  were 
either  held  until  more  records  were  available  in  the 
donor  pool  or  referred  to  an  analyst.  In  addition, 
when  such  a failure  occurred  in  finding  a donor  for 
expenditure  data,  a program  provided  values  from  a 
table  of  donor  pool  averages  in  lieu  of  values  from 
an  individual  donor,  wherever  possible.  This 
‘failover’  utility  was  new  for  the  2012  census 
imputation  process,  and  significantly  reduced  the 
number  of  imputation  failures  among  the 
expenditure  and  labor  variables.  During  the  early 
stages  of  editing,  records  requiring  imputation  for 
production  (and  hence  yields)  of  field  crops  or  hay, 
land  values,  or  certain  expenditure  variables  were  set 
aside  or  “parked.”  These  records  were  edited  when 
the  donor  pools  contained  only  2012  records, 
ensuring  that  2012  data  were  used  in  imputations  for 
these  variables. 

After  receiving  a donor's  data,  the  edit  substituted 
the  values  into  the  edited  record.  In  many  cases,  the 
donor  record's  data  value  was  scaled  using  another 
data  field  specified  in  the  edit  logic.  In  such  cases, 
the  size  of  the  auxiliary  field's  value  in  the  edited 
record,  relative  to  its  value  in  the  donor  record,  was 
used  to  inflate  or  reduce  the  donor  record's  value  for 
the  imputed  field.  The  imputed  data  were  then 
validated  by  the  same  edit  logic  to  which  reported 
data  were  subject.  Since  imputation  was  conducted 
independently  for  each  occurrence,  reports  requiring 
multiple  imputations  may  have  drawn  from  multiple

Data  Analysis 

The  complex  edit  ensured  the  full  internal 
consistency  of  the  record.  Successfully  completing 
the  edit  did  not  provide  insight  as  to  whether  the 
report  was  reasonable  compared  to  other  reports  in 
the  county.  Analysts  were  provided  an  additional  set 
of  tools,  in  the  form  of  listings  and  graphs,  to  review 
record-level  data  across  farms.  These  examinations 
revealed  extreme  outliers,  large  and  small,  or  unique 
data  distribution  patterns  that  were  possibly  a result 
of  reporting,  recording,  or  handling  errors.  Potential 
problems  were  researched  and,  when  necessary, 
corrections  were  made  and  the  record  interactively 
edited  again. 

When  NASS  summarizes  the  census  of  agriculture,  it 
assigns  the  data  from  an  individual  report  to  the 
“principal”  county.  The  principal  county  is  based  on 
the  operator’s  response  to  a census  question  and  is 
the  one  county  in  which  the  majority  of  agricultural 
products  are  produced.  Because  some  large 
operations  have  significant  production  in  multiple 
counties,  some  reports  were  broken  up  into  multiple 
source  counties,  to  more  accurately  allocate  the  data. 
Similarly,  large  farms  operating  in  more  than  one 
State  were  treated  as  distinct,  state-specific 
operations.  A separate  report  form  was  completed 
for  each  county  or  State  and  a separate  record  was 
added. 


ACCOUNTING  FOR  UNDERCOVERAGE, 
NONRESPONSE,  AND  MISCLASSIFICATION 

Although  much  effort  was  expended  making  the 
CML  as  complete  as  possible,  the  CML  did  not 
include  all  U.S.  farms,  resulting  in  list 
undercoverage.  Some  farm  operators  who  were  on 
the  CML  did  not  respond  to  the  census,  despite 
numerous  attempts  to  contact  them.  In  addition, 
although  each  operation  was  classified  as  a farm  or  a 
nonfarm  based  on  the  responses  to  the  census  report 
form,  some  were  misclassified;  that  is,  some 
nonfarms  were  classified  as  farms  and  some  farms 
were  classified  as  nonfarms.  NASS’s  goal  was  to 
produce  agricultural  census  totals  for  publication  that 
were  fully  adjusted  for  list  undercoverage, 
nonresponse  and  misclassification  at  the  county 
level. 

APPENDIX  A A- 9 


In  the  2007  Census  of  Agriculture,  adjustments  for 
undercoverage  and  nonresponse  were  estimated 
independently.  In  2007,  as  in  earlier  censuses,  the 
NASS  area  frame  was  used  to  adjust  for 
undercoverage.  This  process  assumed  that  the  area 
frame  provided  complete  coverage  and  that  all 
operations  were  correctly  classified  as  farm/nonfarm. 
To  determine  the  extent  of  undercoverage  in  2007, 
the  CML  records  were  matched  to  the  area-frame 
tracts  designated  as  agricultural,  non- agricultural 
with  potential,  or  non-agricultural  with  potential 
unknown  in  June.  The  area- frame  tracts  that  did  not 
match  a CML  record  were  designated  as  being  in  the 
Not  on  the  Mail  List  (NML)  domain.  In  2007,  tracts 
that  were  determined  to  be  non-agricultural  without 
potential  during  the  pre-screening  phase  of  the  June 
Agricultural  Survey  (JAS)  were  not  considered  in  the 
NML  domain  construction.  The  NML  domain  tracts 
were  sent  a census  form  and,  if  a tract  was  associated 
with  a farm,  then  that  farm  contributed  to  the 
correction  for  undercoverage. 

To  adjust  for  nonresponse  in  2007,  each  responding 
CML  record  was  given  a probability  of  being  a farm 
using  a classification  tree.  The  inverse  of  this 
probability  became  the  nonresponse  weight  for  that 
record.  For  undercoverage,  the  adjustment  provided 
State-level  values.  A State-level  estimate  was  based 
on  the  weighted  sum  of  the  responders  with  an 
adjustment  for  the  non-responders  within  that  State 
plus  the  State-level  undercoverage  adjustment. 
Because  State-level  farm  count  estimates  based  on 
this  two-step  process  sometimes  had  high  standard 
errors  and  apparent  biases,  the  national-level 
adjusted  estimates  were  smoothed  across  States, 
producing  initial  State-level  farm  operation  coverage 
targets. 

Research  following  the  2007  Census  of  Agriculture 
led  to  the  realization  that  some  area-frame  operations 
were  misclassified  as  farm/nonfarm,  which  was  in 
conflict  with  the  previous  assumption  that  the  JAS 
farm  classification  was  the  accurate  classification. 
Further,  because  nonresponse  could  only  occur  if  the 
operation  was  on  the  CML,  undercoverage  and 
nonresponse  were  dependent.  Thus  in  2012,  NASS 
used  capture-recapture  methodology  to  adjust  for 
undercoverage,  nonresponse,  and  misclassification. 
To  implement  capture-recapture  methods,  two 
independent  surveys  were  required.  The  2012 
Census  of  Agriculture  (based  on  the  CML)  and  the 

A -10  APPENDIX  A 


2012  JAS  (based  on  the  area  frame)  were  those  two 
surveys.  Historically,  NASS  has  been  careful  to 
maintain  the  independence  of  these  two  surveys. 

A second  assumption  was  that  the  proportion  of  JAS 
farms  with  a given  set  of  characteristics  captured  by 
the  census  was  equal  to  the  proportion  of  U.S.  farms 
with  those  same  characteristics  captured  by  the 
census. 

For  a farm  to  be  identified  as  a farm,  and  thus 
captured  by  the  census,  it  must  be  on  the  CML, 
respond  to  the  census  report  form  and,  based  on  the 
census  response,  be  classified  as  a farm;  that  is,  the 
capture  probability  ttc  is  of  interest: 

n c = 7i(CML,  Responded,  Farm  on  Census|Farm) 


Two  types  of  classification  error  can  occur.  First,  a 
farm  can  be  misclassified  as  a nonfarm.  This  type  of 
misclassification  is  accounted  for  in  determining  the 
probability  of  capture  kc.  The  second  type  of 
classification  error  results  when  a response  to  the 
census  is  classified  as  a farm  operation  when  it  does 
not  meet  the  definition  of  a farm.  That  is,  some 
farms  on  the  CML  may  be  misclassified  from  their 
census  report  response  and  may  be  nonfarms.  To 
account  for  the  misclassification  of  nonfarms  as 
farms,  the  probability  of  a farm  on  the  census  being 
classified  correctly  must  be  estimated;  that  is, 

n CCFC  = 7i(Farm  | Farm  on  Census) 


where  CCFC  represents  Correct  Census  Farm 
Classification.  To  adjust  for  undercoverage, 
nonresponse,  and  misclassification,  each  CML 
record  classified  as  a farm  based  on  its  response  to 
the  census  report  form  was  given  a weight  of  the 
ratio  of  the  estimated  probability  of  correct 
classification  of  a farm  on  the  census  and  the 
estimated  probability  of  capture  ( n CCFC  / n c where 

the  hat  symbol  (A)  denotes  an  estimate).  To  estimate 
the  number  of  farms  with  a given  set  of 
characteristics,  the  weights  of  CML  records 
responding  as  farms  on  the  census  and  having  that 
set  of  characteristics  were  summed.  This  estimator  is 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


referred  to  as  the  capture-recapture  estimator  (CR): 

cr  = £ - ^CFC  ' 

/€f  ^ C ,i 

where  F is  the  set  of  all  CML  records  classified  as 
farms  based  on  their  responses  to  the  census 
questionnaire. 

To  estimate  the  capture  and  correct  census  farm 
classification  probabilities,  a matched  dataset 
consisting  of  JAS  records  and  census  records  was 
created.  Records  in  the  2012  JAS  sample  were 
matched  to  the  2012  census  using  probabilistic 
record  linkage.  The  CML  records  that  matched  with 
JAS  tracts  represent  the  Census  sample.  Note:  The 
Census  Sample  is  a subset  of  the  CML  records  and 
includes  only  those  records  matching  a JAS  tract. 
Both  agricultural  and  non-agricultural  tracts  were 
included  in  the  matched  dataset.  (This  differs  from 
the  2007  processes,  which  considered  only  the 
agricultural  tracts  and  non-agricultural  tracts  with 
potential  or  with  potential  unknown.  It  also  included 
CML  records  that  responded  to  the  census  as  a farm 
or  nonfarm  and  CML  records  that  did  not  respond  to 
the  census.) 

Resolving  Farm  Status 

The  farm  status  based  on  census  responses  to  either 
the  CML  or  NML  census  data  collection  and  the  JAS 
agreed  in  most  cases;  these  records  are  referred  to  as 
having  resolved  farm  status.  However,  in  other 
cases,  a record  was  identified  as  a farm  (nonfarm)  on 
the  JAS  and  as  a nonfarm  (farm)  by  the  census 
through  either  the  CML  or  the  NML.  Such  records 
are  said  to  have  conflicting  or  unresolved  farm 
status.  An  operation  identified  as  a farm  is  referred 
to  as  in-scope;  one  identified  as  a nonfarm  is  referred 
to  as  out-of- scope.  From  the  set  of  matched  records, 
three  groups  with  conflicting  farm  status  were 
identified:  1)  in-scope  JAS  records  that  were  out-of- 
scope  on  the  census  and  2)  census  in-scope  and  JAS 
out-of-scope  records,  and  3)  in-scope  JAS  records 
that  did  not  have  a census  response.  The  records 
with  conflicting  farm  status  were  sent  to  regional 
field  offices  for  review.  In  each  case,  efforts  were 
made  to  determine  whether  (1)  the  status  had 
changed  between  June  and  December  when  the 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


census  was  conducted,  (2)  the  JAS  farm  status  was 
correct,  (3)  the  census  farm  status  was  correct,  (4) 
the  records  were  incorrectly  matched,  or  (5)  the  farm 
status  could  not  be  resolved.  Not  all  of  the  records 
with  conflicting  farm  status  could  be  resolved.  In 
2012,  11.6  percent  of  the  records  in  the  Census 
Sample  had  unresolved  farm  status.  Of  these,  18.9 
percent  were  from  nonresponse  to  the  census  report 
form. 

The  probability  an  operation  is  a farm  was  estimated 
for  the  records  with  unresolved  farm  status.  Using 
the  2012  matched  dataset,  a logistic  model  of  the 
probability  an  operation  is  a farm  based  on  the 
records  with  resolved  farm  status  was  developed; 
that  is,  the  operations  where  the  farm  (or  nonfarm) 
status  agreed  between  the  JAS  and  the  census  were 
used  to  develop  a missing  data  model,  which  was 
then  used  to  resolve  farm  status.  The  final  missing 
data  model  was  used  to  impute  the  probability  that 
each  of  the  agricultural  operations  with  unresolved 
farm  status  is  a farm.  For  the  resolved  farms  and 
nonfarms,  the  probability  of  the  operation  being  a 
farm  was  1 and  0,  respectively.  Five-fold  cross- 
validation  was  used  to  develop  and  to  compare 
competing  models.  The  accuracy  of  the  model  was 
thereby  not  overstated  due  to  fitting  and  evaluating 
the  model  on  the  same  set  of  data.  To  ensure  that 
each  of  the  cross-validation  samples  covered  the 
U.S.,  the  five  cross-validation  samples  of  JAS 
segments  were  drawn  within  State-stratum 
combinations.  Characteristics  of  the  JAS  tracts  were 
considered  as  potential  covariates  in  the  model. 
Because  limited  information  is  available  for  JAS 
nonfarm  tracts,  county-level  socio-demographic 
variables  from  the  most  recent  U.S.  population 
census  were  also  considered.  The  sample  weight 
associated  with  each  JAS  tract  was  multiplied  by  the 
probability  of  being  a farm.  This  adjusted  weight 
was  used  in  all  subsequent  modeling. 

Capture  Probabilities 

Recall  that,  for  a farm  to  be  identified  as  a farm,  and 
thus  captured,  by  the  census,  it  must  be  on  the  CML, 
respond  to  the  census  report  form  and,  based  on  the 
census  response,  be  classified  as  a farm.  These 
adjustments  are  dependent  so  that  the  probability  of 
capture  i ic  may  be  written  as 


APPENDIX  A A- 11 


7rc  = 7i(CML,  Responded,  Farm  on  Census|Farm)= 

7i( C M L|  F arm  )7t  (Responded)  CML,  Farm)7t(Farm  on 
Census  |CML,  Responded,  Farm) 

The  probability  of  capturing  a farm  depends  on  the 
characteristics  of  the  farm.  Using  five-fold  cross- 
validation,  three  logistic  models  were  developed 
based  on  the  matched  dataset.  The  first  model 
estimated  the  probability  of  a farm  being  on  the 
CML.  The  second  model  estimated  the  probability 
that  a farm  on  the  CML  responded  to  the  census 
report  form.  The  final  model  estimated  the 
probability  that  a farm  that  was  on  the  CML  and 
responded  to  the  census  was  identified  as  a farm 
based  on  its  response.  The  probability  that  a farm  is 
captured  by  the  census  of  agriculture  is  then  the 
product  of  the  three  conditional  probabilities  that  a 
farm  is  on  the  CML,  responds,  and  is  identified  as  a 
farm. 

Note  1:  Responses  were  required  for  Must  cases. 
These  operations  were  only  included  in  modeling  the 
probability  of  a farm  being  on  the  CML. 
Consequently,  the  weight  associated  with  a Must 
record  was  the  reciprocal  of  the  probability  of  a farm 
being  on  the  CML. 

Note  2:  Two  sets  of  models  were  created.  One  set 
estimated  the  probability  of  capture  for  Texas  farms. 
The  other  set  provided  estimated  capture 
probabilities  for  farms  in  the  remaining  States, 
except  for  Alaska. 

Note  3:  Because  Alaska  is  not  included  in  the  JAS 
and  thus  has  no  area  frame,  the  Alaskan  agricultural 
operations  were  not  included  in  the  capture-recapture 
process.  No  adjustments  were  made  for 
undercoverage  or  misclassification.  To  account  for 
nonresponse,  the  CML  records  were  divided  into 
three  groups:  (1)  the  Must  records,  (2)  the  Criteria 
Records,  and  (3)  the  remaining  CML  records.  The 
must  records  received  a weight  of  one,  thereby 
receiving  no  adjustment  for  nonresponse.  The 
probability  of  response  for  each  of  the  other  two 
groups  was  the  proportion  of  responders  within  the 
group.  Each  record  within  the  group  was  then  given 
a weight  equal  to  the  reciprocal  of  the  probability  of 
response. 


A -12  APPENDIX  A 


Misclassification 

An  operation  is  misclassified  if  (1)  it  meets  the 
definition  of  a farm,  but  is  classified  as  a nonfarm  on 
the  census  or  (2)  it  does  not  meet  the  definition  of  a 
farm,  but  is  classified  as  a farm  on  the  census.  The 
first  type  of  misclassification  is  accounted  for  when 
modeling  the  probability  of  capture.  An  adjustment 
is  still  needed  for  the  misclassification  of  nonfarms 
as  farms.  As  with  farm  status  and  capture,  the 
probability  of  this  misclassification  depends  on  an 
operation’s  characteristics.  Thus,  a final  logistic 
model  was  developed.  Given  that  an  operation  was 
classified  as  a farm  on  the  CML,  the  probability  of 
its  being  a farm  was  modeled  based  on  its 
characteristics.  Five-fold  cross-validation  was  used 
to  ensure  that  the  model  was  not  over- fitted. 


CALIBRATION 

Each  operation  identified  as  being  in-scope  on  the 
CML  was  given  a weight  equal  to  the  probability  of 
misclassification  divided  by  the  probability  of 
capture.  This  weight  accounted  for  undercoverage, 
nonresponse,  and  both  types  of  misclassification. 

The  record  weighting  processes  were  initially 
applied  at  the  State  level  to  produce  adjusted 
estimates  of  farm  numbers  and  land  in  farms  for  63 
different  categories  of  8 characteristics  of  the  farm 
operation  or  the  farm  operator  — value  of  agricultural 
sales  (8);  age  (2);  female;  race  (4);  Hispanic  origin  of 
principal  farm  operator  ; 4 sales  categories  for  each 
of  10  major  commodities  (40);  and  farm  type  groups 
(7).  The  State-level  number  of  farms  and  land  in 
farms  were  two  additional  adjusted  estimates, 
resulting  in  65  categories.  To  reduce  the  intercensal 
variation  at  the  State  level,  the  State  targets  were 
smoothed  by  averaging  the  2012  estimates  from 
capture-recapture  and  the  published  2007  state 
estimates  with  the  restrictions  that  the  smoothed 
targets  were  within  one  standard  error  of  the  capture- 
recapture  estimates.  The  smoothed  State  targets  were 
rescaled  so  that  they  summed  to  the  national  capture- 
recapture  estimates. 

These  State  estimates  were  general  purpose  in  that 
they  did  not  provide  any  control  over  expected  levels 
of  commodity  production  of  the  individual  farm 
operation.  As  a result  of  this  limitation,  the 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


procedures  could  have  over-adjusted  or  under- 
adjusted for  commodity  production.  To  address  this, 
a second  set  of  variables,  known  as  commodity 
targets,  was  added  to  the  calibration  algorithm. 
These  targets  were  commodity  totals  from 
administrative  sources  or  from  NASS  surveys  of 
nonfarm  populations  (e.g.  USDA  Farm  Service 
Agency  program  data,  Agricultural  Marketing 
Service  market  orders,  livestock  slaughter  data, 
cotton  ginning  data).  The  introduction  of  these 
commodity  coverage  targets  strengthened  the  overall 
adjustment  procedure  by  ensuring  that  major 
commodity  totals  remained  within  reasonable 
bounds  of  established  benchmarks.  Commodity 
coverage  targets  with  acceptable  ranges  were 
established  by  subject-matter  experts  for  each  State, 
with  New  England  treated  as  a State. 

Each  State  was  calibrated  separately.  The  calibration 
algorithm  addressed  commodity  coverage.  The 
algorithm  was  controlled  by  the  65  State  farm 
operation  coverage  targets  and  the  State  commodity 
coverage  targets.  To  ensure  that  the  calibration 
process  converged  with  so  many  constraints,  it  was 
desirable  to  provide  some  tolerance  ranges  for  each 
target.  Although  full  calibration  to  a single  point 
estimate  would  assure  that  the  weighted  total  among 
census  respondents  equaled  its  target  for  each 
calibration  variable  in  either  set,  it  was  not  always 
possible  to  calibrate  to  such  a large  number  of  target 
values  while  ensuring  that  farm  weights  were  within 
a reasonable  range  and  not  less  than  one.  Because  of 
this  and  because  calibration  targets  are  estimates 
themselves  subject  to  uncertainty,  NASS  allowed 
some  tolerance  in  the  determination  of  the  adjusted 
weights.  Rather  than  forcing  the  total  for  each 
calibration  variable  computed  using  the  adjusted 
weights  to  equal  a specific  amount,  NASS  allowed 
the  estimated  total  to  fall  within  a tolerance  range. 
This  tolerance  strategy  made  it  possible  for  the 
calibration  algorithm  to  produce  a set  of  satisfactory, 
adjusted  weights. 

Ranges  for  the  farm  operation  coverage  targets  were 
determined  differently  from  the  commodity  targets. 
The  State  target  for  number  of  farms  had  no 
tolerance  range.  The  tolerance  range  for  the  64  other 
State  farm  operation  coverage  targets  was  the 
estimated  smoothed  State  total  for  the  variable  plus 
or  minus  one-half  of  the  standard  error  of  the 
capture-recapture  estimate.  This  choice  limited  the 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


cumulative  deviation  from  the  estimated  total  for  a 
variable  when  State  totals  were  summed  to  a U.S. 
level  total.  The  commodity  target  tolerance  ranges 
were  determined  by  subject-matter  experts,  based  on 
the  amount  of  confidence  in  the  source,  and  usually 
were  less  than  plus  or  minus  two  percent  of  the 
target.  Ranges  were  not  necessarily  symmetric 
around  the  target  value. 

Census  data  collection  was  assumed  to  be  complete 
for  very  large  and  unique  farms  with  their  weight 
being  controlled  to  1 during  the  calibration 
adjustment  process.  For  all  other  farms,  adjustment 
weights  were  obtained  using  truncated  linear 
calibration  which  forced  the  final  census  record 
weights  to  fall  in  the  interval  [1,6].  Adjustments 
began  with  the  nonresponse  and  misclassification 
adjusted  weights.  Through  calibration,  a second 
stage  weight  that  simultaneously  satisfied  all  farm 
operation  coverage  and  commodity  coverage 
calibration  targets  was  obtained.  Calibration  was 
seldom  able  to  adjust  weights  so  that  all  State  targets 
were  met.  Within  the  calibration  process,  the  highest 
priority  for  meeting  a target  was  given  to  the  number 
of  farms,  total  land  in  farms,  and  top  cash-receipt 
commodities  accounting  for  80  percent  of  the  State’s 
production.  All  remaining  targets  associated  with 
commodities  and  characteristics  of  farms  and  farm 
operators  had  equal  priority.  If  a value  within  the 
tolerance  range  of  any  variable  could  not  be 
achieved  in  a given  State,  the  variable  was  removed 
as  a target  in  that  State  and  the  calibration  algorithm 
was  rerun. 

Weight  computations  in  the  final  algorithms  were 
performed  to  several  decimals.  Thus,  the  fully- 
adjusted  weights  were  non-integer  numbers.  To 
ensure  that  all  subdomains  for  which  NASS 
publishes  summed  to  their  grand  total,  fully-adjusted 
weights  were  integerized.  This  eliminated  the  need 
for  rounding  individual  cell  values  and  ensured  that 
marginal  totals  always  added  correctly  to  the  grand 
total.  As  an  example  of  how  the  integerization 
process  worked,  assume  there  were  five  census 
records  in  a county  with  final  noninteger  coverage 
weights  of  2.2,  for  a total  of  1 1 . The  integerization 
process  randomly  selected  four  of  these  records  and 
rounded  their  final  weight  down  to  2.0  and  rounded 
the  fifth  record  up  to  3.0,  for  a total  of  1 1. 

The  proportions  of  selected  census  data  items  that 

APPENDIX  A A- 13 


are  due  to  coverage,  response,  and  classification 
adjustments  are  displayed  in  Tables  A and  C. 

DISCLOSURE  REVIEW 

After  tabulation  and  review  of  the  aggregates,  a 
comprehensive  disclosure  review  was  conducted. 
NASS  is  obligated  to  withhold,  under  Title  7,  U.S. 
Code,  any  total  that  would  reveal  an  individual's 
information  or  allow  it  to  be  closely  estimated  by  the 
public.  Cell  suppression  was  used  to  protect  the 
cells  that  were  determined  to  be  sensitive  to  a 
disclosure  of  information.  Farm  counts  are  not 
considered  sensitive  and  are  not  subject  to  disclosure 
controls. 

Based  on  agency  standards,  data  cells  were 
determined  to  be  sensitive  to  a disclosure  of 
information  if  they  violated  either  of  two  criteria 
rules.  The  threshold  rule  was  violated  if  the  data  cell 
contained  less  than  three  operations.  For  example,  if 
only  one  farmer  produced  turkeys  in  a county,  NASS 
could  not  publish  the  county  total  for  turkey 
inventory  without  disclosing  that  individual’s 
information.  The  dominance  rule  was  violated  if  the 
distribution  of  the  data  within  the  cell  allowed  a data 
user  to  estimate  any  respondent’s  data  too  closely. 
For  example,  if  there  are  many  farmers  producing 
turkeys  in  a county  and  some  of  them  were  large 
enough  to  dominate  the  cell  total,  NASS  could  not 
publish  the  county  total  for  turkey  inventory  without 
risking  disclosing  an  individual  respondent’s  data. 
In  both  of  these  situations,  the  data  were  suppressed 
and  a “(D)”  was  placed  in  the  cell  in  the  census 
publication  table.  These  data  cells  were  referred  to 
as  primary  suppressions. 

Since  most  items  were  summed  to  marginal  totals, 
primary  suppressions  within  these  summation 
relationships  were  protected  by  ensuring  that  there 
were  additional  suppressions  within  the  linear 
relationship  that  provided  adequate  protection  for  the 
primary.  A detailed  computer  routine  selected 
additional  data  cells  for  suppression  to  ensure  all 
primary  suppressions  were  properly  protected  in  all 
linear  relationships  in  all  tables.  These  data  cells 
were  referred  to  as  complementary  suppressions. 
These  cells  were  not  themselves  sensitive  to  a 
disclosure  of  information  but  were  suppressed  to 
protect  other  primary  suppressions.  A “(D)”  was  also 
placed  in  the  cell  of  the  census  publication  table  to 

A -14  APPENDIX  A 


indicate  a complementary  suppression.  A data  user 
could  not  determine  whether  a cell  with  a (D) 
represented  a primary  or  a complementary 
suppression. 

Field  office  analysts  reviewed  all  complementary 
suppressions  to  ensure  no  cells  had  been  withheld 
that  were  vital  to  the  data  users.  In  instances  where 
complimentary  suppressions  were  deemed  critically 
important  to  a State  or  county,  analysts  requested  an 
override  and  a different  complementary  cell  was 
chosen. 

CENSUS  QUALITY 

The  purpose  of  the  census  of  agriculture  is  to 
account  for  “any  place  from  which  $1,000  or  more 
of  agricultural  products  were  produced  and  sold,  or 
normally  would  have  been  sold,  during  the  census 
year.”  To  accomplish  this,  NASS  develops  a CML 
that  contains  identifying  information  for  operations 
that  have  an  indication  of  meeting  the  census 
definition,  develops  procedures  to  collect 
agricultural  information  from  those  records, 
establishes  criteria  for  analyst  review  of  the  data, 
creates  computer  routines  to  correct  or  complete  the 
requested  information,  and  provides  census  estimates 
of  the  characteristics  of  farms  and  farm  operators 
with  associated  measures  of  uncertainty. 

It  is  not  likely  that  either  the  CML  includes  all 
operations  that  meet  the  definition  of  a farm  or  that 
all  those  that  do  meet  the  definition  of  a farm 
respond  to  the  census  inquiry.  The  goal  is  to  publish 
data  with  a high  level  of  quality.  There  are  many 
ways  to  measure  the  quality  of  a census. 

One  of  the  first  indicators  used  is  a measure  of  the 
response  to  the  census  data  collection  as  it  has 
generally  been  thought  that  a high  response  rate 
indicates  more  complete  coverage  of  the  population 
of  interest.  This  is  a valid  assumption  if  the 
enumeration  list,  the  CML  here,  has  complete 
coverage  of  the  population  of  interest.  In  the  case  of 
the  census  of  agriculture,  the  definition  requiring 
advance  knowledge  of  sales  makes  achieving  a high 
level  of  coverage  difficult.  To  ensure  that  the  census 
of  agriculture  is  as  complete  as  possible,  records  are 
included  that  might  not  meet  the  census  definition  of 
a farm  - in  fact,  almost  50  percent  more  records  than 
the  anticipated  number  of  qualifying  farm  operations 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


were  included  in  the  2012  CML.  A second  indicator 
of  quality  then  is  the  coverage  of  the  farm  population 
by  the  CML.  Other  indicators  of  quality  relate  to  the 
accuracy  and  completeness  of  the  data,  and  the 
validity  of  the  procedures  used  in  processing  the 
data. 

In  some  cases,  NASS  was  able  to  produce  measures 
of  quality  — such  as  the  response  rate  to  the  data 
collection,  the  coverage  of  the  census  mail  list,  and 
the  variability  of  the  final  adjusted  estimates.  In 
other  cases,  measures  were  not  produced  but 
descriptions  of  procedures  that  NASS  used  to  reduce 
errors  from  the  procedures  were  subsequently 
provided. 

Census  Response  Rate 

The  response  rate  is  one  indicator  of  the  quality  of  a 
data  collection.  It  is  generally  assumed  that  if  a 
response  rate  is  close  to  a full  participation  level  of 
100  percent,  the  potential  for  nonresponse  bias  is 
small,  although  this  has  been  questioned  recently  in 
the  literature.  Because  the  CML  contains  both  farm 
and  nonfarm  records,  the  response  rate  is  an 
indicator  of  replying  to  the  census  data  collection 
effort,  but  does  not  reflect  whether  those  responding 
met  the  farm  definition.  The  response  rate  for  the 
2012  Census  of  Agriculture  CML  is  80.1  percent  as 
compared  with  a response  rate  of  85.2  percent  for  the 
2007  Census  of  Agriculture  and  88.0  for  the  2002 
Census  of  Agriculture. 

The  2012  Census  of  Agriculture  response  rate  used 
the  fourth  response  rate  formula  from  the  American 
Association  of  Public  Opinion  Research  Response 
Rate  Standard  Definitions  manual: 

c . 

rr  4 = — (too  ) 

C adj  + R + NC  + O + Replicated  + e(U  ) 

where 

Cadj  - number  of  fully  and  partially  completed 

records,  excluding  replicated  records 

R - number  of  explicit  refusals 

NC  - number  of  non-contacted  operations 

O = number  of  other  types  of  nonrespondents 

Replicated  = number  of  replicated  records 

U = number  of  operations  of  unknown  eligibility 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


e(U)  = estimated  number  of  operations  of  unknown 
eligibility  assumed  to  be  eligible 

Records  were  classified  into  the  above  variables 
based  on  the  combination  of  their  active  status  (AS) 
codes,  in-scope  status,  and  replication  status.  Active 
status  refers  to  the  eligibility  status  of  records  for 
selection  on  the  CML.  All  replicated  records  were 
considered  to  be  a form  of  nonresponse  and  were 
classified  into  other  nonrespondents;  in-scope  status 
was  considered  immaterial. 

Certain  active  status  classifications  indicated  records 
of  unknown  agricultural  status.  These  classifications 
included  records  to  be  removed  from  the  CML  but 
had  data  from  outside  sources  indicating  agricultural 
activity,  new  records  from  outside  data  sources, 
nonrespondents  and  refusals  to  the  NACS,  records 
for  regional  office  handling  only,  and  records  with 
Farm  Service  Agency  or  Conservation  Reserve 
Program  data  on  operations  that  are  not  owned  by 
the  principal  operator.  These  records  were  stratified 
(grouped)  based  on  their  probabilities  of  being  in- 
scope had  they  responded.  The  estimated  number  of 
in- scope  nonrespondents  was  calculated  for  the  hth 
stratum  (group)  by  the  following  formula: 


l c*  J 

where 

e(Uh)  - estimated  number  of  operations  of  unknown 
eligibility  assumed  to  be  eligible  in  the  /zth  group 
C in-scope, h = the  number  of  completed  and  in-scope 
census  records  in  the  /zth  group 
Ch  - the  number  of  completed  census  records  in  the 
/zth  group 

Uh  = number  of  operations  of  unknown  eligibility  in 
the  /zth  group 

Census  Coverage 

As  a side-product  of  the  statistical  adjustment  used 
to  account  for  undercoverage,  nonresponse  of  farms 
on  the  CML,  and  misclassification  of  responses  to 
the  census,  the  proportion  of  the  adjustments  due  to 
each  of  those  factors  can  be  derived.  The  percentages 
of  final  census  estimates  due  to  adjustments  for 

APPENDIX  A A- 15 


undercoverage,  nonresponse,  and  misclassification 
as  well  as  the  total  percent  adjustment  for  selected 
items  are  displayed  in  Tables  A and  C. 

MEASURED  ERRORS  IN  THE  CENSUS 
PROCESS 

Although  the  census  of  agriculture  does  not 
inherently  rely  on  a sample,  it  uses  statistical 
procedures  in  compiling  the  CML,  in  its  data 
collection  procedures,  in  data  editing  and  processing, 
and  in  compiling  the  final  data.  Additionally,  it  uses 
statistical  procedures  to  both  measure  errors  in  the 
various  processes  and  in  making  adjustments  for 
those  errors  in  the  final  data.  One  example  is  the 
statistical  process  used  to  account  for  undercoverage, 
nonresponse  of  farms  on  the  CML,  and 
misclassification  of  responses  to  the  census.  The 
basis  of  the  undercoverage  adjustment  is  the  capture- 
recapture  procedure  that  uses  the  area  sample 
enumeration  from  the  June  Agricultural  Survey.  The 
largest  contribution  to  error  in  the  census  estimates  is 
due  to  the  adjustments  for  nonresponse, 
undercoverage,  misclassification,  calibration  and 
integerization. 

Variability  in  Census  Estimates  due  to 
Statistical  Adjustment 

In  conducting  the  2012  Census  of  Agriculture, 
efforts  were  initiated  to  measure  error  associated 
with  the  adjustments  for  farm  operations  that  were 
not  on  the  CML,  for  farm  operations  that  were  on  the 
CML  but  did  not  respond  to  the  census  report  form  , 
for  farms  and  nonfarms  that  were  misclassified  as 
nonfarms  and  farms,  respectively,  for  calibration, 
and  for  integerization.  These  error  measurements 
were  developed  from  the  standard  error  of  the 
estimates  at  the  national,  State,  and  county  levels  and 
were  expressed  as  coefficients  of  variation  (CVs)  at 
the  national  and  State  levels  and  as  generalized 
coefficients  of  variation  (GCVs)  at  the  county  levels. 

The  standard  error  of  an  estimate  is  an  estimate  of 
the  standard  deviation  of  the  sampling  distribution  of 
the  estimator.  Because  Texas  and  Alaska  were 
modeled  separately  from  the  other  States,  the 
variances  of  a national-level  data  item  for  these  two 
States  were  computed  separately  and  added  to  the 

A- 16  APPENDIX  A 


variance  of  that  data  item  for  the  rest  of  the  U.S.  The 
standard  error  was  then  the  square  root  of  the  total 
variance.  In  each  case,  standard  errors  were 
computed  using  the  group  jackknife  approach.  To 
conduct  the  jackknifing,  k mutually  exclusive  and 
exhaustive  groups  of  JAS  segments  were  formed. 
The  groups  were  selected  using  a stratified  random 
design  so  that  each  group  reflected  the  survey 
design,  including  State  and  agricultural  strata  within 
a State.  In  turn,  each  group,  j — 1,  2,  ...,  k,  was 
deleted  and  the  capture-recapture  estimate  CRP  was 
computed  for  each  data  item  i at  the  specified 
geographical  level,  such  as  nation,  State,  or  county, 
using  the  remaining  (k—  1)  groups.  Estimates  of  the 
variance  and  standard  error  associated  with  the 
capture-recapture  estimate  CRt  are  then,  respectively, 


<7  : = -1—  £ (CR  - CR  ,.)2  ; SE  ( CR  .)  = Jvj 


Increasing  k improves  the  estimate  of  the  variance 
but,  as  k increases,  the  observations  become  too 
sparse  to  reflect  the  survey  design  and  to  provide 
country- wide  coverage.  Based  on  2007  data,  k - 10 
was  determined  to  be  the  largest  number  of  groups 
that  could  be  formed  and  still  have  each  group 
provide  adequate  coverage  within  all  States  and 
agricultural  strata.  Thus,  10  jackknife  groups  were 
used  to  provide  standard  errors  for  2012  State  and 
national  estimates.  To  capture  the  additional 
variability  from  calibration  and  integerization,  the 
standard  errors  were  computed  using  the  calibrated, 
integerized  capture-recapture  estimates  from  the 
jackknife  groups.  For  the  estimate  of  the  number  of 
farms  with  a given  set  of  characteristics,  only  the 
CML  records  with  those  characteristics  were  used  to 
obtain  the  overall  estimate  as  well  as  the  estimates 
from  each  jackknife  group. 

When  the  constraints  of  the  calibration  process 
produced  an  artificially  small  standard  error,  the 
more  conservative  capture-recapture  standard  error 
was  used.  Note  that  the  jackknife  groups  must  only 
be  constructed  once,  and  different  subsets  of  the 
records  were  used  to  compute  estimates  and  standard 
errors  for  the  data  items. 

The  CV  is  a measure  of  the  relative  amount  of  error 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


associated  with  the  sample  estimate: 

SE  ( CR  ) 

CV  = —100  % 

CR 

[ 

where  SE(CRi)  is  the  standard  error  of  the  capture- 
recapture  estimate  for  data  item  i.  This  relative 
measure  allows  the  reliability  of  a range  of  estimates 
to  be  compared.  For  example,  the  standard  error  is 
often  larger  for  large  population  estimates  than  for 
small  population  estimates,  but  the  large  population 
estimates  may  have  a smaller  CV,  indicating  a more 
reliable  estimate.  For  county-level  estimates,  a 
generalized  coefficient  of  variation  (GCVs)  was 
determined  for  each  estimate  within  a State.  A 
generalized  variance  function  relates  a function  of 
the  variance  of  an  estimator  to  a function  of  the 
estimator.  Within  a State,  the  standard  error  of  an 
estimate  for  a data  item  was  often  found  to  be 
linearly  related  to  the  estimate  of  that  item  with  an 
intercept  of  zero.  Based  on  this  modeled  relationship, 
the  GCV  is  the  slope  of  the  line  relating  the  standard 
error  to  the  estimate,  multiplied  times  100  to 
represent  the  GCV  as  a percentage. 

The  standard  error  is  the  product  of  the  CV  (or  GCV 
for  county  estimates)  and  the  estimate  divided  by 
100.  As  an  example,  if  the  GCV  for  a State  is  25 
percent  and  a county’s  estimate  is  4,  then  the 
standard  error  is  25 (4)/ 100  = 1.  The  standard  error  of 
an  estimated  data  item  from  the  census  provides  a 
measure  of  the  error  variation  in  the  value  of  that 
estimated  data  item  based  on  the  possible  outcomes 
of  the  census  collection,  including  variants  as  to  who 
was  on  the  CML,  who  returned  a census  form,  who 
was  misclassified  either  as  a farm  or  as  a nonfarm, 
and  the  uncertainty  associated  with  calibration  and 
integerization.  With  95  percent  confidence,  an 
estimate  is  within  two  standard  errors  of  the  true 
value  being  estimated.  For  this  example,  with  95 
percent  confidence,  the  estimate  of  4 is  within  2(1)  = 
2 of  the  true  county  value. 

Table  B presents  the  fully  adjusted  estimates  with 
the  coefficient  of  variation  for  selected  items. 

NONMEASURED  ERRORS  IN  THE  CENSUS 
PROCESS 

As  noted  in  the  previous  section,  sampling  errors  can 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


be  introduced  from  the  coverage,  nonresponse  and 
misclassification  adjustment  procedures.  This  error 
is  measureable.  However,  nonsampling  errors  are 
imbedded  in  the  census  process  that  cannot  be 
directly  measured  as  part  of  the  design  of  the  census 
but  must  be  contained  to  ensure  an  accurate  count. 
Extensive  efforts  were  made  to  compile  a complete 
and  accurate  mail  list  for  the  census,  to  elicit 
response  to  the  census,  to  design  an  understandable 
report  form  with  clear  instructions,  to  minimize 
processing  errors  through  the  use  of  quality  control 
measures,  to  reduce  matching  error  associated  with 
the  capture-recapture  estimation  process,  and  to 
minimize  error  associated  with  identification  of  a 
respondent  as  a farm  operation  (referred  to  as 
classification  error).  The  weight  adjustment  and 
tabulation  processes  recognize  the  presence  of 
nonsampling  errors;  however,  it  is  assumed  that 
these  errors  are  small  and  that,  in  total,  the  net  effect 
is  zero.  In  other  words,  the  positive  errors  cancel  the 
negative  errors. 

Respondent  and  Enumerator  Error 

Incorrect  or  incomplete  responses  to  the  census 
report  form  or  to  the  questions  posed  by  an 
enumerator  can  introduce  error  into  the  census  data. 
Steps  were  taken  in  the  design  and  execution  of  the 
census  of  agriculture  to  reduce  errors  from 
respondent  reporting.  Poor  instructions  and 
ambiguous  definitions  lead  to  misreporting. 
Respondents  may  not  remember  accurately,  may 
give  rounded  numbers,  or  may  record  an  item  in  the 
wrong  cell.  To  reduce  reporting  and  recording  errors, 
the  report  form  was  tested  prior  to  the  census  using 
industry  accepted  cognitive  testing  procedures. 
Detailed  instructions  for  completing  the  report  form 
were  provided  to  each  respondent.  Questions  were 
phrased  as  clearly  as  possible  based  on  previous  tests 
of  the  report  form.  Computer-assisted  telephone 
interviewing  software  included  immediate  integrity 
checks  of  recorded  responses  so  suspect  data  could 
be  verified  or  corrected.  In  addition,  each 
respondent’s  answers  were  checked  for  completeness 
and  consistency  by  the  complex  edit  and  imputation 
system. 

Processing  Error 

Processing  of  each  census  report  form  was  another 
potential  source  of  nonsampling  error.  All  mail 

APPENDIX  A A- 17 


returns  that  included  multiple  reports,  respondent 
remarks,  or  that  were  marked  out  of  business  and 
report  forms  with  no  reported  data  were  sent  to  an 
analyst  for  verification  and  appropriate  action. 
Integrity  checks  were  performed  by  the  imaging 
system  and  data  transfer  functions.  Standard  quality 
control  procedures  were  in  place  that  required  that 
randomly  selected  batches  of  data  keyed  from  image 
be  re-entered  by  a different  operator  to  verify  the 
work  and  evaluate  key  entry  operators.  All  systems 
and  programs  were  thoroughly  tested  before  going 
on-line  and  were  monitored  throughout  the 
processing  period. 

Developing  accurate  processing  methods  is 
complicated  by  the  complex  structure  of  agriculture. 
Among  the  complexities  are  the  many  places  to  be 
included,  the  variety  of  arrangements  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 
agriculture  operations,  the  difficulty  of  contacting 
and  identifying  some  types  of  contractor/contractee 
relationships,  the  operator’s  absence  from  the  farm 
during  the  data  collection  period,  and  the  operator’s 
opinion  that  part  or  all  of  the  operation  does  not 
qualify  and  should  not  be  included  in  the  census. 
During  data  collection  and  processing  of  the  census, 
all  operations  underwent  a number  of  quality  control 
checks  to  ensure  results  were  as  accurate  as  possible. 

Item  Nonresponse 

All  item  nonresponse  actions  provide  another 
opportunity  to  introduce  measurement  errors. 
Regardless  of  whether  it  was  previously  reported 
data,  administrative  data,  the  nearest  neighbor 
algorithm,  or  manually  imputed  by  an  analyst,  some 
risk  exists  that  the  imputed  value  does  not  equal  the 
actual  value.  Previously  reported  and  administrative 
data  were  used  only  when  they  related  to  the  census 
reference  period.  A new  nearest  neighbor  was 
randomly  selected  for  each  incident  to  eliminate  the 
chance  of  a consistent  bias. 


Record  Matching  Error 

The  process  of  building  and  expanding  the  CML 
involves  finding  new  list  sources  and  checking  for 

A -18  APPENDIX  A 


names  not  on  the  list.  An  automated  processing 
system  compared  each  new  name  to  the  existing 
CML  names  and  “linked”  like  records  for  the 
purpose  of  preventing  duplication.  New  names  with 
strong  links  to  a CML  name  were  discarded  and 
those  with  no  links  were  added  as  potential  farms. 
Names  with  weak  links,  possible  matches,  were 
reviewed  by  staff  to  determine  whether  the  new 
name  should  be  added.  Despite  this  thorough 
review,  some  new  names  may  have  been  erroneously 
added  or  deleted.  Additions  could  contribute  to 
duplication  (overcoverage)  whereas  deletions  could 
contribute  to  undercoverage.  As  a result,  some 
names  received  more  than  one  report  form,  and  some 
farm  operators  did  not  receive  a report  form. 
Respondents  were  instructed  to  complete  one  form 
and  return  all  forms  so  the  duplication  could  be 
removed. 

Another  chance  for  error  came  when  comparing  June 
Agricultural  Survey  tract  operator  names  to  the 
CML.  Area  operators  whose  names  were  not  found 
on  the  CML  were  part  of  the  measure  of  list 
incompleteness,  or  NML.  Mistakes  in  determining 
overlap  status  resulted  in  overcounts  (including  a 
tract  whose  operator  was  on  the  CML)  or 
undercounts  (excluding  a tract  whose  operator  was 
not  on  the  CML).  All  tracts  determined  to  not  be  on 
the  list  were  triple  checked  to  eliminate,  or  at  least 
minimize,  any  error.  NML  tract  operators  were 
mailed  a report  form  printed  in  a different  color.  In 
order  to  attempt  to  identify  duplication,  all 
respondents  who  received  multiple  report  forms 
were  instructed  to  complete  the  CML  version  and 
return  all  forms  so  duplication  could  be  removed. 

Records  in  the  2012  JAS  were  matched  to  the  2012 
census  using  probabilistic  record  linkage.  The 
records  of  operations  with  unresolved  farm  status 
were  reviewed  by  the  field  offices.  If  farm  status 
could  not  be  resolved,  the  probability  of  an  operation 
being  a farm  was  imputed  using  a missing  data 
model.  The  uncertainty  associated  with  this  estimate, 
with  the  exception  of  model  uncertainty,  was 
accounted  for,  but  errors  not  found  through  this 
process  were  not. 

Model  Uncertainty  Error 

Five  logistic  models  were  developed  in  the  process 
of  adjusting  the  farm  numbers  for  undercoverage, 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


nonresponse,  and  misclassification.  One  model 
estimated  the  probability  of  an  agricultural  operation 
with  unresolved  farm  status  being  a farm.  The 
remaining  four  models  estimated  the  probability  of 
coverage,  response,  and  correct  classification  of 
farms  and  of  nonfarms.  Each  model  was  fit 
independently  by  two  people.  For  some  models,  both 
statisticians  obtained  the  same  model.  Although  the 


covariates  in  the  two  selected  models  differed  some 
for  the  other  logistic  models,  the  estimated 
probabilities  were  similar,  but  not  identical.  The 
reported  standard  errors  account  for  the  variability  in 
the  parameter  estimates  of  the  selected  models,  but 
not  for  the  additional  variation  due  to  model 
uncertainty.  They  also  do  not  account  for  any  bias 
associated  with  a model.

General  Explanation  and  Census  of  Agriculture  Report  Form 


DEVELOPMENT  OF  THE  CENSUS 
REPORT  FORMS 

Prior  to  release  of  the  results  from  the  2007  Census 
of  Agriculture,  NASS  was  preparing  for  the  2012 
Census  of  Agriculture.  The  first  team  established 
was  the  2012  Census  Content  Team.  This  team  was 
tasked  with  content  determination  and  report  form 
development.  They  reviewed  the  2007  report  form 
content,  solicited  input  from  internal  and  external 
customers,  developed  criteria  for  determining 
acceptance  and/or  rejection  of  content  for  the  2012 
Census  of  Agriculture  report  forms,  tested  the 
effectiveness  of  the  report  forms  for  various  modes 
of  data  collection  (mail,  telephone,  personal 
interview,  and  electronic  data  reporting),  and  made 
recommendations  to  NASS  senior  executives  for 
final  determination. 

Throughout  development  NASS  sought  advice  and 
input  from  the  data  user  community.  Integral 
partners  included  the  Advisory  Committee  on 
Agriculture  Statistics,  State  departments  of 
agriculture  and  other  State  government  officials, 
Federal  agency  officials,  land  grant  universities, 
agricultural  trade  associations,  media,  and  various 
Community  Based  Organizations. 

NASS  conducted  the  2010  Census  of  Agriculture 
Content  Test  in  early  2011.  The  test  consisted  of 
three  phases:  cognitive  pretesting,  national  mail-out, 
and  follow-up  interviews.  Results  from  the  testing 
produced  one  final  report  form  type  — a 24-page 
regionalized  form  with  7 versions  (12-A101  thru  12- 
A107).  The  regionalized  report  forms  include  crop 
sections  designed  to  facilitate  reporting  crops  most 
commonly  grown  within  a report  form  region.  Many 
items  in  these  sections  are  either  prelisted  in  the 
tables  or  listed  below  the  tables.  A sample  copy  of 
the  report  form  and  instruction  sheet  is  included  in 
this  appendix.

DEFINITIONS  AND  EXPLANATIONS 

The  following  definitions  and  explanations  provide  a 
detailed  description  of  specific  terms  and  phrases 
used  in  this  publication.  Items  in  the  publication 
tables  which  carry  the  note  “See  text”  also  are 
explained.  Report  form  section  number  references 
refer  to  the  regional  version.  Many  of  the  definitions 
and  explanations  are  the  same  as  those  used  in  earlier 
censuses. 

Acres  and  quantity  harvested.  Crops  were  reported 
in  whole  acres,  except  for  the  following  crops  that 
were  reported  in  tenths  of  acres:  tobacco,  nursery 
and  greenhouse  crops  in  the  open,  vegetables 
including  potatoes  and  sweet  potatoes,  fruit  and  nut 
crops  including  land  in  orchards,  and  berries;  and  in 
Hawaii,  coffee.  Totals  for  crops  reported  in  tenths  of 
acres  were  rounded  to  whole  acres  at  the  aggregate 
level  during  the  tabulation  process.  Nursery  and 
greenhouse  crops  grown  under  glass  or  other 
protection  were  reported  in  square  feet  and  are 
published  in  square  feet. 

If  two  or  more  crops  were  harvested  from  the  same 
land  during  the  year  (double  cropping),  the  acres 
were  counted  for  each  crop.  Therefore,  the  total 
acres  of  all  crops  harvested  could  exceed  the  acres  of 
cropland  harvested.  An  exception  to  this  procedure 
was  hay. 

When  more  than  one  cutting  of  hay  was  taken  from 
the  same  acres,  the  acres  were  counted  only  once.  If 
there  were  multiple  cuttings  of  one  type  of  hay 
production,  e.g.  two  cuttings  of  alfalfa  for  dry  hay, 
acreage  was  reported  once  but  the  quantity  harvested 
includes  all  cuttings.  Acreage  cut  and  tons  harvested 
for  both  dry  hay  and  haylage,  silage,  or  greenchop 
was  reported  for  each  crop.  For  interplanted  crops  or 
“skip-row”  crops,  acres  were  reported  according  to 
the  portion  of  the  field  occupied,  whether  by  a crop 
or  whether  it  was  idle  land.  If  a crop  was  interplanted 
in  an  orchard  or  vineyard  and  harvested,  then  the 
entire  orchard  or  vineyard  acreage  was  reported 
under  the  appropriate  fruit  crop  and  the  interplanted 
estimated  crop  acreage  was  reported  under  the 
appropriate  crop. 

If  a crop  was  planted  but  not  harvested,  the  acres 
were  not  reported  as  harvested.  These  acres  were 
reported  in  the  “land”  section  on  the  report  form 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture

under  the  appropriate  cropland  items  - cropland  on 
which  all  crops  failed  or  were  abandoned,  cropland 
in  cultivated  summer  fallow,  cropland  idle  or  used 
for  cover  crops  or  soil-improvement  but  not 
harvested  and  not  pastured  or  grazed,  or  other 
pasture  and  grazing  land  that  could  have  been  used 
for  crops  without  additional  improvements.  This 
does  not  include  fruit  and  nut  orchards,  vineyards, 
berries,  acres  in  production  for  cut  Christmas  trees, 
and  acres  in  production  for  short  rotation  woody 
crops  that  were  not  harvested.  Acreage  in  these 
commodities  were  included  in  cropland  harvested 
whether  the  crop  was  harvested  or  not.  Abandoned 
orchards  were  reported  as  cropland  idle,  not  as 
harvested  cropland,  and  the  individual  abandoned 
orchard  crop  acres  were  not  reported. 

Crops  that  were  only  hogged  or  grazed  were  reported 
as  “Other  pasture  and  grazing  land  that  could  have 
been  used  for  crops  without  additional 
improvements.”  Crop  residue  left  in  fields  after  the 
2012  harvest  and  later  hogged  or  grazed  was 
reported  as  cropland  harvested  and  not  as  other 
pasture  and  grazing  land  that  could  have  been  used 
for  crops. 

Quantity  harvested  was  not  obtained  for  crops  such 
as  fruits  and  nuts,  berries,  vegetables  and  melons, 
and  nursery  and  greenhouse  crops.

APPENDIX  B B -3 


American  Indian  and  Alaska  Native  farm 
operators,  total.  Data  are  reported  in  Chapter  1, 
tables  60  through  70,  and  Chapter  2,  table  50.  In 
Chapter  1,  table  60  data  include  farm  characteristics 
for  principal  operator  reporting  one  race  only,  table 
61  data  include  farm  characteristics  reported  for  a 
maximum  of  three  operators  reporting  American 
Indian  or  Alaska  Native  alone  or  in  combination 
with  other  races,  table  62  data  are  reported  for 
principal  operator  only,  table  63  include  data  for  a 
maximum  of  three  operators  for  those  operators  that 
reported  only  one  race. 

In  Chapter  2,  table  50  data  are  reported  for  a 
maximum  of  three  operators  reported  in  the  operator 
characteristics  section.  The  individual  operators  were 
added  to  the  census  mail  list  for  most  reservations. 
Those  reservations  that  did  not  include  all  the 
individual  operators  on  the  census  mail  list  were 
identified  and  the  data  for  the  entire  reservation, 
including  the  data  for  the  operators  that  would  have 
met  the  definition  of  a farm,  were  collected  on  one 
report  form.  The  count  of  reservations  and  the 
number  of  operators  that  were  reported  on  these 
reservations  are  included  in  Appendix  A,  Table  D. 

Amount  from  State  and  local  government 
agricultural  program  payments.  See  Total  income 
from  farm-related  sources,  gross  before  taxes  and 
expenses. 

Amount  from  Conservation  Reserve,  Wetlands 
Reserve,  Farmable  Wetlands,  and  Conservation 
Reserve  Enhancement  Programs.  See  Land 
enrolled  in  the  Conservation  Reserve  Program 
(CRP),  Wetlands  Reserve  Program  (WRP), 
Farmable  Wetlands  Program  (FWP),  or 
Conservation  Reserve  Enhancement  Program 
(CREP). 

Amount  spent  to  repay  CCC  loans.  This  is  a new 
item  for  2012.  Farming  operations  that  receive  a 
CCC  loan  can  use  cash  to  repay  the  loan,  purchase 
certificates  for  use  in  the  repayment,  or  deliver  the 
pledged  collateral  as  full  payment  at  maturity.  If  a 
farmer  uses  cash  instead  of  certificates  to  repay  the 
loan,  the  farmer  and  the  IRS  receive  an  information 
return  showing  the  market  gain  realized.  The  farmer 
can  repay  the  loan  to  the  CCC  and  then  sell  the 
grain,  feed  the  grain,  or  store  it.  These  provisions 
only  apply  until  the  maturity  date  of  the  loan.  After 

B -4  APPENDIX  B 


the  maturity  date  of  the  loan,  the  entire  original  loan 
principal  and  all  accrued  interest  must  be  repaid  or, 
as  an  alternative  choice,  the  crop  may  be  forfeited  to 
CCC. 

Any  poultry  sold.  The  number  of  farms  with  any 
poultry  sold  includes  all  farms  with  sales  of  poultry, 
poultry  hatched,  or  eggs. 

Aquaculture.  Aquaculture  is  defined  as  the  farming 
of  fish,  crustaceans,  mollusks,  and  other  aquaculture 
products.  The  aquaculture  production  reported  in  the 
census  requires  some  form  of  intervention  in  the 
rearing  process  and  requires  inputs  such  as  seeding, 
stocking,  feeding,  protection  from  predators,  etc.  It 
also  requires  ownership  of  the  stock  being  cultivated 
and  harvesting  that  is  conducted  in  a controlled 
environment  by  the  operation.  The  value  of  sales 
include  all  sizes  and  eggs  by  species  and  includes 
aquaculture  distributed  for  restoration,  conservation, 
or  recreational  purposes,  such  as  State  and  Federal 
hatcheries.  Distributed  fish  with  unknown  values 
were  assigned  a value  based  on  sales  of  farm-raised 
fish. 

Aquaculture  value.  See  Aquaculture. 

Bantams.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  In  2007 
bantams  were  reported  as  other  poultry.  See  layers. 

Bees.  See  Colonies  of  bees  and  Honey  collected. 

Berries.  In  2012,  the  value  of  sales  was  collected;  in 
2007  it  was  combined  with  fruits  and  nuts. 

Biodiesel.  See  Renewable  energy  producing 
systems. 

Breeding  livestock.  See  Total  farm  production 
expenses. 

By  economic  class.  See  Economic  class  of  farms. 

Camelina.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  In  2007  and 
previous  censuses,  data  were  included  in  other  field 
crops.  Other  field  crops  data  are  comparable. 

Cattle  on  feed.  Cattle  on  feed  is  defined  as  cattle 
and  calves  that  were  fed  a ration  of  grain  or  other 
concentrates  that  will  be  shipped  directly  from  the 
feedlot  to  the  slaughter  market  and  are  expected  to 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


produce  a carcass  that  will  grade  select  or  better. 
This  category  excludes  cattle  that  were  pastured 
only,  background  feeder  cattle,  and  veal  calves. 

Cattle  on  feed  sold.  Data  are  for  cattle  on  feed  sold 
that  weighed  500  pounds  or  more  and  were  shipped 
directly  from  the  feedlot  to  the  slaughter  market. 
This  category  excludes  cattle  that  were  pastured 
only,  owned  cattle  that  were  shipped  from  feedlots 
operated  by  others,  background  feeder  cattle,  and 
veal  calves. 


Chemicals  applied.  For  each  type  of  chemical  used, 
the  acres  treated  were  reported  only  once  even  if  the 
acres  were  treated  more  than  once.  If  multi-purpose 
chemicals  were  used,  the  acres  treated  for  each 
purpose  were  reported.  See  Total  farm  production 
expenses;  Chemicals. 

Cherries.  Cherries  were  reported  as  either  sweet 
cherries  or  tart  cherries.  Combined  crops  or  non- 
specified  cherry  acres  were  not  options  for  the 
respondent.  Total  acres,  bearing  age  acres,  and 
nonbearing  age  acres  were  reported  for  each  crop. 

Christmas  trees,  cut.  Data  are  for  acres  of 
Christmas  trees  in  production,  either  cut  or  to  be  cut, 
the  number  of  these  acres  that  were  irrigated,  and  the 
number  of  trees  cut  along  with  the  value  of  sales  of 
the  harvested  trees. 

Christmas  trees,  live.  These  data  were  reported  as 
nursery  stock.  They  are  generally  sold  as  balled  and 
burlapped  trees  from  the  operation. 

Chukars.  (Chukkars)  This  is  a new  item  for  2012. 

In  2007,  chukars  were  reported  as  other  poultry. 

Coffee.  Data  were  collected  only  in  Hawaii. 

Colonies  of  bees.  Colonies  of  bees  were  tabulated  in 
the  county  where  the  bees’  owner  had  the  largest 
value  of  all  agricultural  products  raised  or  produced. 
Colonies  are  often  moved  from  farm-to-farm  over  a 
wide  geographic  area.  Package  bees  are  not  included 
as  separate  colonies.  Colonies  of  bees  were  collected 
in  their  own  section  to  clarify  to  respondents  that 
only  “owned”  colonies  were  to  be  reported  versus 
any  colonies  on  the  operation.  Published  colonies 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture

inventory  is  the  total  number  of  colonies  owned  on 
December  31,  2012. 

Commodities  raised  and  delivered  under 
production  contracts.  A production  contract  is  an 
agreement  between  a producer  or  grower  and  a 
contractor  (integrator)  setting  terms,  conditions,  and 
fees  to  be  paid  by  the  contractor  to  the  operation  for 
the  production  of  crops,  livestock,  or  poultry.  The 
grower  receives  a payment  or  fee  from  the 
contractor,  generally  after  delivery,  which  is  less 
than  the  full  market  price  of  the  commodity.  A 
production  contract  involves  the  shifting  of  some 
risk  and  control  from  the  grower  to  the  contractor. 
Marketing  contracts,  futures  contracts,  forward 
contracts,  or  other  contracts  based  strictly  on  price 
are  not  considered  production  contracts. 
Commodities  sold  to  a co-op  where  some  of  the 
input  items  were  purchased  from  the  same  co-op  at  a 
discount  price  were  also  excluded.  Many  operations 
produce  commodities  only  under  production 
contracts  or  only  independently.  Some  operations 
may  produce  a commodity  under  production  contract 
and  also  produce  more  of  the  same  commodity  that 
they  sell  independently.  The  production  contract  data 
are  totals  for  the  portion  of  agriculture  production 
raised  and  delivered  under  production  contract. 
Crops  and  livestock  inventory,  production,  and  value 
of  sales  are  the  total  of  all  production,  both 
independent  and  raised  under  production  contract. 

Custom  fed  cattle  shipped  directly  for  slaughter 
under  a production  contract.  Cattle  under  production 
contract  which  were  not  shipped  directly  to  slaughter 
were  reported  in  either  replacement  dairy  heifers 
under  production  contract  or  in  the  Other  cattle, 
sheep,  livestock,  or  poultry  under  production 
contract  category. 

Layers  under  production  contract.  The  production 
contract  is  based  on  eggs,  but  the  layers  are  owned 
by  the  contractor  and  are  also  under  contract.  The 
layers  are  ‘produced’  at  the  pullet  farm,  which  may 
have  a separate  production  contract.  This  is  a new 
item  for  2012. 

Replacement  dairy  heifers  under  production 
contract.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  In  2007, 
replacement  dairy  heifers  were  included  in  “Other 
cattle,  livestock,  poultry,  or  aquaculture  under 
production  contract.” 

APPENDIX  B B -5 


Other  cattle,  sheep,  livestock,  or  poultry  under 
production  contract.  The  data  for  commodities 
raised  and  delivered  under  a production  contract 
include  cattle  which  were  not  shipped  directly  to 
slaughter  (backgrounding),  sheep,  livestock,  and 
poultry  not  listed  separately.  Layers  and  replacement 
dairy  heifers  were  included  in  2007,  but  were 
reported  individually  on  the  2012  report  form.  Data 
are  not  comparable  to  2007. 

Vegetables,  melons,  and  potatoes  under  production 
contract.  This  category  is  the  number  of  farms  that 
produced  and  delivered  vegetables,  melons,  and 
potatoes  grown  under  a production  contract. 

Other  crops  under  production  contract.  Data  are  for 
the  total  number  of  farms  that  have  production 
contracts  for  other  crops.  This  category  includes  all 
crops  except  grains,  oilseeds,  vegetables,  melons, 
and  potatoes. 

Commodity  Credit  Corporation  loans.  This 
category  includes  nonrecourse  marketing  loans  for 
wheat,  corn,  sorghum,  barley,  oats,  cotton,  rice, 
soybeans,  Austrian  winter  peas,  honey,  dry  edible 
peas,  lentils,  small  chickpeas,  peanuts,  sunflower 
seed,  flaxseed,  canola  and  other  rapeseed,  safflower, 
mustard  seed,  crambe,  sesame  seed,  wool  and 
mohair.  These  commodities  differ  from  those 
included  in  the  2007  census  due  to  changes  created 
by  the  2008  Farm  Bill. 

Crop  and  livestock  insurance  payments  received. 

See  Total  income  from  farm-related  sources,  gross 
before  taxes  and  expenses. 

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  reported  in  units 
different  than  the  unit  of  measure  published,  the 
quantity  harvested  was  converted  to  the  published 
unit  of  measure. 

Crop  year  or  season  covered.  Acres  and  quantity 
harvested  are  for  the  calendar  year  2012  except  for 
citrus  crops  and  sugarcane  for  sugar;  limes  in  region 
three  States;  avocados  in  Florida  and  California; 
olives  in  California  and  Arizona;  and  pineapples  and 
coffee  in  Hawaii. 


1.  Avocados.  The  data  for  Florida  relate  to  the 
quantity  in  the  April  2012  through  March  2013 
harvest  season;  for  California  and  Arizona,  the 
November  2011  through  November  2012  harvest 
season. 

2.  Citrus  crops.  The  data  for  region  three  relate  to 
the  quantity  harvested  in  the  September  2011 
through  August  2012  harvest  season,  except 
limes  that  were  harvested  in  the  April  2012 
through  March  2013  harvest  season.  The  data  for 
California  and  Arizona  relate  to  the  2011  through 
2012  harvest  season. 

3.  Olives.  The  data  for  California  and  Arizona 
relate  to  the  September  2011  through  March 

2012  harvest  season. 

4.  Pineapples.  The  data  for  Hawaii  relate  to  the 
quantity  harvested  in  the  year  ending  May  31, 
2012. 

5.  Sugarcane  for  sugar.  The  data  for  Florida, 
Louisiana,  and  Texas  relate  to  the  cuttings  from 
September  2012  through  April  2013. 

Cropland,  harvested.  See  Harvested  cropland. 

Cropland  idle  or  used  for  cover  crops  or  soil 
improvement,  but  not  harvested  and  not  pastured 
or  grazed.  Cropland  idle  includes  any  other  acreage 
which  could  have  been  used  for  crops  without  any 
additional  improvement  and  which  was  not  reported 
as  cropland  harvested,  cropland  on  which  all  crops 
failed,  cropland  in  summer  fallow,  or  other  pasture 
or  grazing  land  that  could  have  been  used  for  crops 
without  additional  improvements.  This  category 
includes: 

1.  Land  used  for  cover  crops  or  soil  improvement 
but  not  harvested  or  grazed. 

2.  Land  in  Federal  or  State  conservation  programs 
that  was  not  hayed  or  grazed  in  2012. 

3.  Land  occupied  with  growing  crops  for  harvest  in 

2013  or  later  years  but  not  harvested  or  summer 
fallowed  in  2012  (except  fruit  or  nuts  in  an 
orchard,  grove,  or  vineyard  or  berries  being 
maintained  for  production).  Examples  are 
acreage  planted  in  winter  wheat,  strawberries, 
etc.,  for  harvest  in  2013  and  no  crop  was 
harvested  from  these  acres  in  2012.

Farms  by  age  and  primary  occupation  of 
operator.  Data  on  age  and  primary  occupation  were 
obtained  from  up  to  three  operators  per  farm.  When 
compared  with  2007  results,  the  average  age  of 
farmers  increased  slightly.  Older  operators  may  be 
“retired”  (with  little  if  any  sales)  and  still  report 
farming  as  their  primary  occupation  since  they  often 
have  limited  opportunity  for  off-farm  jobs.  See

Farms  by  combined  government  payments  and 
market  value  of  agricultural  products  sold.  This 
category  represents  the  value  of  products  sold  plus 
government  payments.  Total  value  of  products  sold 
combines  total  sales  not  under  production  contract 
and  total  sales  under  production  contract. 
Government  payments  consist  of  government 
payments  received  from  the  Conservation  Reserve 
Program  (CRP),  Wetlands  Reserve  Program  (WRP), 
Farmable  Wetlands  Program  (FWP),  or 
Conservation  Reserve  Enhancement  Program 
(CREP)  plus  government  payments  received  from 
Federal,  State,  and  local  programs  other  than  the 
CRP,  WRP,  FWP,  and  CREP,  and  Commodity 
Credit  Corporation  loans.  See  Total  market  value  of 
agricultural  products  sold  and  government  payments. 
The  Average  Crop  Revenue  Election  (ACRE) 
program  allows  producers  to  enroll  a farm  in  the 
program  based  upon  an  agreement  to  forgo  counter- 
cyclical payments,  receive  a 20  percent  reduction  in 
their  direct  payments,  and  a reduction  in  their 
marketing  assistance  loan  (MAL)  rates  by  30  percent 
for  all  commodities  produced  on  the  farm.  The 
ACRE  program  provides  eligible  producers  with 
state  level  revenue  guarantees  based  on  the  5 -year 
state  average  yield  and  the  2 -year  national  average 
price.  The  program  is  designed  to  provide  revenue 
support  to  farmers  as  an  alternative  to  the  price 
support  that  farmers  are  use  to  receiving  from 
commodity  programs.

Farms  by  legal  status.  All  farms  were  classified  by 
legal  status  in  the  2012  census.  In  2007  this  category 
was  referred  to  as  Farms  by  type  of  organization. 
This  section  collects  information  for  federal  tax 
purposes  to  determine  an  operation’s  legal  status. 
The  classifications  used  were: 

1.  Family  or  individual  (sole  proprietorship), 
excluding  partnership  and  corporation. 

2.  Partnership,  including  family  partnership  - in 
selected  tables,  partnership  was  further 
subclassified  into: 

a.  Registered  under  State  law. 

b.  Not  registered  under  State  law. 

3.  Corporation,  including  family  corporations  - in 
selected  tables,  partnership  was  further 
subclassified  into: 

a.  Family  held  or  other  than  family  held. 

b.  More  than  10  stockholders. 

4.  Other,  cooperative,  estate  or  trust,  institutional, 
etc. 

Farms  by  North  American  Industry 
Classification  System  (NAICS).  The  NAICS 
classifies  economic  activities.  It  was  jointly 
developed  by  Mexico,  Canada,  and  the  U.S.  NAICS 
makes  it  possible  to  produce  comparable  industrial 
statistics  for  Mexico,  Canada,  and  the  U.S.  For  the 
2012  census,  all  agricultural  production 
establishments  (farms,  ranches,  nurseries, 
greenhouses,  etc.)  were  classified  by  type  of  activity 
or  activities  using  the  NAICS  code.  The  2012 
census  is  the  fourth  census  to  use  NAICS.  Censuses 
prior  to  the  1997  census  used  the  old  Standard 
Industrial  Classification  (SIC)  system  to  classify 
farms. 

NAICS  was  developed  to  provide  a consistent 
framework  for  the  collection,  analysis,  and 
dissemination  of  industrial  statistics  used  by 
government  policy  analysts,  academia  and 
researchers,  the  business  community,  and  the  public. 
It  is  the  first  industry  classification  system  developed 

B -8  APPENDIX  B 


in  accordance  with  a single  principle  of  aggregation 
that  production  units  using  similar  production 
processes  should  be  grouped  together.  Though 
NAICS  differs  from  other  industry  classification 
systems,  statistics  compiled  on  NAICS  are 
comparable  with  statistics  compiled  according  to  the 
latest  revision  of  the  United  Nations’  International 
Standard  Industrial  Classification,  Revision  Three, 
(ISIC,  Revision  3)  for  some  sixty  high  level 
groupings.  Following  are  explanations  of  the  major 
classifications  used  in  2012. 


Oilseed  and  grain  farming  (1111).  Comprises 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  (1)  growing 
oilseed  and/or  grain  crops  and/or  (2)  producing 
oilseed  and  grain  seeds.  These  crops  have  an  annual 
life  cycle  and  are  typically  grown  in  open  fields. 
This  category  includes  corn  silage  and  grain  silage. 

Vegetable  and  melon  farming  (11121).  Comprises 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  one  or  more  of 
the  following:  (1)  growing  vegetables  and/or  melon 
crops,  (2)  producing  vegetable  and  melon  seeds,  and 
(3)  growing  vegetable  and/or  melon  bedding  plants. 

Fruit  and  tree  nut  farming  (1113).  Comprises 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  growing  fruit 
and/or  tree  nut  crops.  These  crops  are  generally  not 
grown  from  seeds  and  have  a perennial  life  cycle. 

Greenhouse,  nursery,  and  floriculture  production 
(1114).  Comprises  establishments  primarily  engaged 
in  growing  crops  of  any  kind  under  cover  and/or 
growing  nursery  stock  and  flowers.  “Under  cover” 
is  generally  defined  as  greenhouses,  cold  frames, 
cloth  houses,  and  lath  houses.  Crops  grown  are 
removed  at  various  stages  of  maturity  and  have 
annual  and  perennial  life  cycles.  The  category 
includes  short  rotation  woody  crops  and  Christmas 
trees  that  have  a growing  and  harvesting  cycle  of  10 
years  or  less. 

Other  crop  farming  (1119).  Comprises 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  (1)  growing 
crops  such  as  tobacco,  cotton,  sugarcane,  hay, 
sugarbeets,  peanuts,  agave,  herbs  and  spices,  and  hay 
and  grass  seeds,  or  (2)  growing  a combination  of  the 
valid  crops  with  no  one  crop  or  family  of  crops 
accounting  for  one-half  of  the  establishment’s 
agricultural  production  (value  of  crops  for  market). 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


Crops  not  included  in  this  category  are  oilseeds, 
grains,  vegetables  and  melons,  fruits,  tree  nuts, 
greenhouse,  nursery  and  floriculture  products. 

All  other  crop  farming  (11199).  Comprises 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  (1)  growing 
crops  (except  oilseeds  and/or  grains;  vegetables 
and/or  melons;  fruits  and/or  tree  nuts;  greenhouse, 
nursery,  and/or  floriculture  products;  tobacco; 
cotton;  sugarcane;  or  hay)  or  (2)  growing  a 
combination  of  crops  (except  a combination  of 
oilseed(s)  and  grain(s));  and  a combination  of  fruit(s) 
and  tree  nut(s)  with  no  one  crop  or  family  of  crops 
accounting  for  one-half  of  the  establishment’s 
agricultural  production. 

Beef  cattle  ranching  and  farming  (112111). 
Comprises  establishments  primarily  engaged  in 
raising  cattle  (including  cattle  for  dairy  herd 
replacements).  Pastureland-only  farms,  those  with 
only  100  or  more  acres  of  pastureland,  were 
classified  as  “All  other  animal  production  farming 
(11299).” 

Cattle  feedlots  (112112).  Comprises  establishments 
primarily  engaged  in  feeding  cattle  for  fattening. 

Dairy  cattle  and  milk  production  (112120).  This 
industry  comprises  establishments  primarily  engaged 
in  milking  dairy  cattle. 

Poultry  and  egg  production  (1123).  This  industry 
group  comprises  establishments  primarily  engaged  in 
breeding,  hatching,  and  raising  poultry  for  meat  or 
egg  production. 

Sheep  and  goat  farming  (1124).  This  industry  group 
comprises  establish- 
ments primarily  engaged  in  raising  sheep,  lambs,  and 
goats,  or  feeding  lambs  for  fattening. 

Animal  aquaculture  (1125).  Comprises 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  the  farm  raising 
of  finfish,  shellfish,  or  any  other  kind  of  animal 
aquaculture.  These  establishments  use  some  form  of 
intervention  in  the  rearing  process  to  enhance 
production,  such  as  holding  in  captivity,  regular 
stocking,  feeding,  and  protecting  from  predators. 

Other  animal  production  (1129).  Comprises 
establishments  primarily  engaged  in  raising  animals

and  insects  (except  cattle,  hogs  and  pigs,  poultry, 
sheep  and  goats,  and  aquaculture)  for  sale  or  product 
production.  These  establishments  are  primarily 
engaged  in  one  of  the  following:  bees,  horses  and 
other  equine,  rabbits  and  other  fur-bearing  animals, 
etc,  and  producing  products  such  as  honey  and  other 
bee  products.  Establishments  primarily  engaged  in 
raising  a combination  of  animals  with  no  one  animal 
or  family  of  animals  accounting  for  one-half  of  the 
establishment’s  agricultural  production  are  included 
in  this  industry  group.  Farms  with  only  100  acres  or 
more  of  pastureland  were  classified  as  “All  other 
animal  production  farming  (11299)”. 

Farms  by  number  of  households  sharing  in  net 
income  of  farm.  Data  were  reported  by  the  principal 
operator  only.  Households  that  received  funds 
because  they  were  only  landlords,  custom  equipment 
operators,  or  provided  other  production  services 
were  not  included.  Published  data  can  exceed  the 
number  of  operators  listed  under  Operators,  all. 

Farms  by  size.  All  farms  were  classified  into  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  part  of  the  tenant's  farm 
and  not  part  of  the  owner’s. 

Farms  by  tenure  of  operator.  All  farms  were 
classified  by  tenure  of  operators.  The  classifications 
used  were: 

• Full  owners  operated  only  land  they  owned. 

• Part  owners  operated  land  they  owned  and  also 
land  they  rented  from  others. 

• Tenants  operated  only  land  they  rented  from 
others  or  worked  on  shares  for  others. 

Farms  with  hired  managers  are  classified  according 
to  the  land  ownership  characteristics  reported.  For 
example,  a corporation  owns  all  the  land  used  on  the 
farm  and  hires  a manager  to  run  the  farm.  The  hired 
manager  is  considered  the  farm  operator,  and  the 
farm  is  classified  with  a tenure  type  of  “full  owner” 
even  though  the  hired  manager  owns  none  of  the 
land  he/she  operates. 

APPENDIX  B B -9 


Farms  by  type  of  organization.  This  is  a new  item 
for  2012.  The  data  categorizes  an  operation’s 
ownership  and  legal  farming  status. 

Operation  with  50  percent  or  more  ownership 
interest  held  by  operator  and/or  persons  related  by 
blood,  marriage,  or  adoption . The  data  are  used  to 
measure  the  principal  operator  ownership  interest  in 
the  organization. 

Limited  Liability  Corporation.  This  type  of  farm 
structure  combines  the  pass-through  taxation  of  a 
partnership  or  sole  proprietorship  with  the  limited 
liability  of  a corporation. 

Farms  by  value  of  sales.  See  Market  value  of 
agricultural  products  sold. 

Farms  or  farms  reporting.  The  terms  “farms”  and 
“farms  reporting”  in  the  presentation  of  data  are 
equivalent.  Both  represent  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:

Farms  with  sales  and  government  payments  of 
less  than  $1,000.  This  category  includes  farms  with 
combined  sales  and  government  payments  of  less 
than  $1,000  but  having  the  potential  for  sales  of 
$1,000  or  more.  It  provides  information  on  all  items 
for  farms  that  normally  would  be  expected  to  sell 
agricultural  products  of  $1,000. 

Farms  with  sales  of  less  than  $1,000.  This  category 
includes  farms  with  sales  of  less  than  $1,000  but 
having  the  potential  for  sales  of  $1,000  or  more. 
Some  of  these  farms  had  no  sales  in  the  census  year. 
It  provides  information  on  all  report  form  items  for 
farms  that  normally  would  be  expected  to  sell 
agricultural  products  of  $1,000  or  more. 

Fertilizer.  See  Total  farm  production  expenses; 
Fertilizer,  lime,  and  soil  conditioners. 

Field  and  grass  seed  crops,  all.  Data  are  for  all  the 
field  and  grass  seed  crops  not  published  as  field 
crops  and  include  field  seed  crops  which  did  not 
have  a specific  code  on  the  2012  report  form. 

B -10  APPENDIX  B 


Foliage  plants,  indoor  (including  hanging 

baskets).  For  2012,  (including  hanging  baskets)  was 
added  to  the  description  for  clarity.  Data  are 
comparable. 

Forage  - land  used  for  all  hay  and  all  haylage, 
grass  silage,  and  greenchop.  Data  shown  represent 
the  area  harvested  with  each  acre  counted  only  once 
if  dry  hay,  haylage,  grass  silage,  or  greenchop  were 
cut  from  the  same  acreage  or  if  there  were  multiple 
cuttings  of  dry  hay,  haylage,  grass  silage,  or 
greenchop.  Data  exclude  com  silage  and  sorghum 
silage.  Quantity  produced  is  the  sum  of  the  quantity 
harvested  of  all  hay  including  alfalfa,  other  tame, 
small  grain,  and  wild  hay  and  all  haylage,  grass 
silage  and  greenchop  after  converting  the  all 

haylage,  grass  silage,  and  greenchop  quantity 

harvested  to  a dry  equivalent  basis  (13-percent 

moisture).  The  green  tons  of  all  haylage,  grass  silage, 
and  greenchop  harvested  were  multiplied  by  a factor 
of  0.4943  to  convert  to  a dry  equivalent.  This 
conversion  factor  is  based  on  the  assumption  that 
one  ton  of  dry  hay  is  0.87  ton  of  dry  matter,  one  ton 
of  haylage  or  grass  silage  is  0.45  ton  dry  matter,  and 
one  ton  of  greenchop  is  0.25  ton  dry  matter.  The  all 
haylage,  grass  silage,  and  greenchop  quantity 

harvested  is  assumed  to  be  comprised  of  90-percent 
haylage  and  grass  silage  and  10-percent  greenchop. 
Therefore,  the  conversion  factor  used  to  adjust  all 
haylage,  grass  silage,  and  greenchop  quantity 
harvested  to  a dry  equivalent  basis  = 
[(0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.  l)]/0.87  = 0.4943. 

Fruits  and  nuts  tree.  Total  acres,  bearing  age  acres, 
and  nonbearing  age  acres  were  collected.  In  2012, 
the  value  of  sales  was  collected;  in  2007,  it  was 
combined  with  berries. 

Geoexchange  system.  See  Renewable  energy 
producing  systems 

Government  payments.  This  category  consists  of 
direct  payments  as  defined  by  the  2008  Farm  Bill; 
payments  from  Conservation  Reserve  Program 
(CRP),  Wetlands  Reserve  Program  (WRP),  Farmable 
Wetlands  Program  (FWP),  and  Conservation 
Reserve  Enhancement  Program  (CREP);  loan 
deficiency  payments;  disaster  payments;  other 
conservation  programs;  and  all  other  federal  farm 
programs  under  which  payments  were  made  directly 
to  farm  operators.  Commodity  Credit  Corporation

(CCC)  proceeds,  amount  from  State  and  local 
government  agricultural  program  payments,  and 
federal  crop  insurance  payments  were  not  tabulated 
in  this  category.  The  Average  Crop  Revenue 
Election  (ACRE)  Program  is  a program  administered 
by  USDA's  Farm  Service  Agency  (FSA).  Producers 
can  sign  up  for  this  optional,  revenue-based  counter- 
cyclical program,  which  is  an  alternative  to  receiving 
counter-cyclical  payments  (CCPs). 

Grain  and  bean  combines.  Data  were  collected  for 
self-propelled  combines  only. 

Grain  storage  capacity.  Data  include  the  capacity 
of  all  storage  structures  on  the  operation  and 
normally  used  to  store  whole  grains,  oilseeds,  and 
pulse  crops.  These  structures  can  be  bins,  silos, 
buildings,  trailers,  etc.  The  capacity  or  usage  of  any 
off-farm  public  or  commercial  storage  facilities  was 
excluded.  For  2012,  pulse  crops  text  was  added  to 
the  Grain  Storage  screener  question  for  clarity.  Pulse 
crops  include  dry  beans,  dry  peas,  lentils,  lupines, 
and  other  minor  pulse  crops.  Data  are  comparable. 

Grains,  oilseeds,  dry  beans,  and  dry  peas  sales. 

Data  are  for  the  total  market  value  of  cash  grains 
sold,  including  corn  for  grain,  seed,  or  silage;  wheat 
for  grain;  soybeans  for  beans;  sorghum  for  grain, 
seed,  or  silage;  barley  for  grain;  rice;  oats  for  grain; 
and  other  grains.  Also  included  is  the  total  market 
value  of  cash  oilseeds  sold,  including  sunflower  seed 
(oil  and  non-oil),  flaxseed,  canola,  rapeseed, 
safflower  seed,  mustard  seed,  dry  beans,  and  dry 
peas. 

Greenhouse  fruits  and  berries.  Data  include 
strawberries,  raspberries,  etc.  grown  in  greenhouses 
and  high  tunnels  where  the  crops  were  always 
covered.  See  Nursery,  greenhouse,  floriculture,  sod, 
mushrooms,  vegetable  seeds,  and  propagative 
materials. 

Gross  cash  rent  or  share  payments.  See  Total 
income  from  farm-related  sources,  gross  before  taxes 
and  expenses. 

Guineas.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  In  2007, 
guineas  were  reported  as  other  poultry. 

Harvested  cropland.  This  category  includes  land 
from  which  crops  were  harvested  and  hay  was  cut, 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


land  used  to  grow  short-rotation  woody  crops, 
Christmas  trees,  and  land  in  orchards,  groves, 
vineyards,  berries,  nurseries,  and  greenhouses.  Fand 
from  which  two  or  more  crops  were  harvested  was 
counted  only  once.  Fand  in  tapped  maple  trees  was 
included  in  woodland  not  pastured.  The  2012  census 
definition  for  harvested  cropland  is  the  same  as  the 
2007  definition. 

Hay,  ail  hay  including  alfalfa,  other  tame,  small 
grain,  and  wild.  Data  shown  represent  the  acreage 
and  quantity  harvested  of  all  types  of  dry  hay.  The 
quantity  harvested  was  reported  in  dry  tons  (dry 
weight  at  the  time  the  hay  was  removed  from  the 
field  for  storage  or  feeding).  If  two  or  more  cuttings 
of  dry  hay  were  made  from  the  same  field,  the 
acreage  was  reported  only  once  as  acres  harvested  of 
the  appropriate  dry  hay  category,  but  the  production 
from  all  dry  hay  cuttings  was  combined  in  the 
corresponding  quantity  harvested.  Straw  acreage 
and  production  is  excluded. 

If  dry  hay  was  cut  from  the  same  land  that  haylage, 
grass  silage,  or  greenchop  was  cut,  the  acreage  and 
production  for  the  dry  hay  was  reported  in  the 
appropriate  category  of  dry  hay  and  the  acreage  and 
production  for  haylage,  grass  silage,  or  greenchop 
was  reported  in  the  appropriate  haylage,  grass  silage, 
or  greenchop  category.  For  example,  if  20  acres  of 
alfalfa  were  cut  for  hay  and  then  the  same  land  was 
used  to  produce  alfalfa  haylage,  20  acres  and  the 
quantity  harvested  of  hay  were  reported  as  Alfalfa 
and  alfalfa  mixtures  for  dry  hay  and  20  acres  and  the 
quantity  harvested  of  alfalfa  haylage  were  reported 
as  Haylage  or  greenchop  from  alfalfa  or  alfalfa 
mixtures. 

Hay,  other  tame  dry  hay.  Data  shown  represent 
acreage  and  dry  tons  of  hay  harvested  from  clover, 
fescue,  lespedeza,  timothy,  Bermuda  grass, 

Sudangrass,  sorghum  hay,  and  other  types  of 
legumes  (excluding  alfalfa)  and  tame  grasses 
(excluding  small  grains). 

Hay,  wild  dry.  Data  shown  represent  acreage  and 
dry  tons  of  hay  harvested  that  was  predominately 
wild  or  native  grasses,  even  if  it  had  some  fill-in 
seeding  of  other  grasses. 

Haylage,  grass  silage,  and  greenchop,  all.  Data 
shown  represent  the  acreage  and  quantity  harvested 

APPENDIX  B B - 11 


of  all  types  (alfalfa  and  all  other).  The  quantity 
harvested  was  reported  in  green  tons.  If  two  or  more 
cuttings  of  haylage,  grass  silage,  or  greenchop  were 
made  from  the  same  field,  the  acreage  was  reported 
as  acres  harvested  in  the  appropriate  haylage 
category  only  once,  and  the  tonnage  from  all  cuttings 
was  combined  in  the  corresponding  quantity 
harvested.  Straw  acreage  and  production  is  excluded. 

Hired  farm  labor.  Data  are  for  total  hired  farm 
workers,  including  paid  family  members,  by  number 
of  days  worked.  Data  exclude  contract  laborers. 

Hogs  and  pigs  by  type  of  operation.  Hog  and  pig 

farms  were  classified  by  primary  type  of  operation. 
Operation  types  were  farrow  to  wean,  farrow  to 
feeder,  farrow  to  finish,  nursery,  finish  only,  and 
other.  Each  description  was  accepted  and  the 
reported  inventory  and  sales  data  were  assigned  to 
each  reported  type. 

Hogs  and  pigs  by  type  of  producer.  Hog  and  pig 

farms  were  classified  by  one  type  of  producer. 
Producer  types  were  independent  grower,  contractor 
or  integrator,  and  contract  grower  (contractee).  Each 
description  was  accepted  and  the  reported  inventory 
and  sales  data  were  assigned  to  each  reported  type. 

Honey  collected.  Data  are  for  pounds  of  honey 
collected  but  not  necessarily  sold.  See  Colonies  of 
bees. 

Horses  and  ponies,  owned.  See  “Owned  horses  and 
ponies.” 

Hungarian  partridge.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012. 

In  2007,  Hungarian  partridge  were  reported  as  other 
poultry. 

Income.  Net  cash  farm  income  is  published  for  the 
operation  and  operator.  The  difference  between  net 
cash  income  and  net  cash  returns  is  that  net  cash 
returns  does  not  include  government  payments  and 
other  farm-related  income  as  income.  See  Net  cash 
farm  income  of  the  operations  and  Net  cash  farm 
income  of  the  operators.

Institutional,  research,  experimental,  and 
American  Indian  Reservation  farms.  Data  for 
these  farms  are  combined  into  a single  category. 
Research  farms  include  farms  operated  by  private 
companies  as  well  as  those  operated  by  universities, 
colleges,  and  government  organizations  for  the 
purpose  of  expanding  agricultural  knowledge. 

Irrigated  land.  This  category  includes  all  land 
watered  by  any  artificial  or  controlled  means,  such  as 
sprinklers,  flooding,  furrows  or  ditches,  sub- 
irrigation, and  spreader  dikes.  Included  are 
supplemental,  partial,  and  preplant  irrigation.  Each 
acre  was  counted  only  once  regardless  of  the  number 
of  times  it  was  irrigated  or  harvested.  If  an  operation 
reported  less  than  one  acre  irrigated,  the  irrigated 
land  for  the  operation  was  rounded  to  one  acre. 
Livestock  lagoon  waste  water  distributed  by 
sprinkler  or  flood  systems  was  also  included. 

Land  area,  approximate.  The  approximate  land 
area  represents  the  total  land  area  as  determined  by 
records  and  calculations  as  of  January  1,  2012.  The 
proportion  of  land  area  in  farms  may  exceed  100- 
percent  because  some  operations  have  land  in  two  or 
more  counties,  but  all  acres  are  tabulated  in  the 
principal  county  of  operation.  The  approximate  land 
area  data  were  supplied  by  the  U.S.  Department  of 
Commerce,  Bureau  of  the  Census.  See  Land  in  two 
or  more  counties. 

Land  enrolled  in  crop  insurance  programs.  The 

data  are  for  all  land  enrolled  in  any  Federal,  private 
or  other  crop  insurance  program.  It  includes  acreage 
of  pasture/rangeland  enrolled  in  crop  insurance 
programs  in  areas  where  it  is  provided.  Data  are 
comparable  with  2007. 

Land  enrolled  in  the  Conservation  Reserve 
Program  (CRP),  Wetlands  Reserve  Program 
(WRP),  Farmable  Wetlands  Program  (FWP),  or 
Conservation  Reserve  Enhancement  Program 
(CREP).  CRP  is  a program  established  by  the 
USD  A in  1985  that  takes  land  prone  to  erosion  out 
of  production  for  10  to  15  years  and  devotes  it  to 
conservation  uses.  In  return,  farmers  receive  an 
annual  rental  payment  for  carrying  out  approved 
conservation  practices  on  the  conservation  acreage. 
The  WRP,  FWP,  and  CREP  programs  are  included 
under  the  Conservation  Reserve  Program  and  offers 
landowners  financial  incentives  for  conservation

practices. 

Operations  with  land  enrolled  in  the  CRP,  WRP, 
FWP,  or  CREP  were  counted  as  farms,  given  they 
received  $1,000  or  more  in  government  payments, 
even  if  they  had  no  sales  and  otherwise  lacked  the 
potential  to  have  $1,000  or  more  in  sales. 

Land  in  berries.  Data  are  for  total  land  in  berries. 
Respondents  also  reported  harvested  acres  and  not 
harvested  acres  by  individual  berry  crops. 

Land  in  farms.  The  acreage  designated  as  “land  in 
farms”  consists  primarily  of  agricultural  land  used 
for  crops,  pasture,  or  grazing.  It  also  includes 
woodland  and  wasteland  not  actually  under 
cultivation  or  used  for  pasture  or  grazing,  provided  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  edit  process.  Land  in 
farms  includes  CRP,  WRP,  FWP,  and  CREP  acres. 

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  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.  Land  under  the 
exclusive  use  of  a grazing  association  was  reported 
by  the  grazing  association  and  included  as  land  in 
farms.  All  land  in  American  Indian  reservations  used 
for  growing  crops,  grazing  livestock,  or  with  the 
potential  of  grazing  livestock  was  included  as  land  in 
farms.  Land  in  reservations  not  reported  by 
reservation,  individual  American  Indians,  or  non- 
Native  Americans  was  reported  in  the  name  of  the 
cooperative  group  that  used  the  land.  In  many 
instances,  an  entire  American  Indian  reservation  was 
reported  as  one  farm. 

Land  in  orchards.  This  category  includes  land  in 
bearing  age  and  nonbearing  age  fruit  trees,  citrus  or 
other  groves,  vineyards,  and  nut  trees  of  all  ages, 
including  land  on  which  all  fruit  crops  failed. 
Respondents  also  reported  bearing  age  acres  and 
nonbearing  age  acres  by  individual  fruit  and  nut 
crops.  Respondents  were  instructed  not  to  report 
abandoned  plantings  and  plantings  of  fewer  than  20 
total  fruit,  citrus,  or  nut  trees  or  grapevines. 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


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 
produced.  It  was  usually  the  county  containing  all  or 
the  largest  proportion  of  the  land  in  the  farm  or 
viewed  by  the  respondent  as  his/her  principal  county. 
Reports  received  showing  land  in  more  than  one 
county  were  separated  into  two  or  more  reports  if  the 
data  would  substantially  distort  county  totals. 

Land  use  practices.  This  is  a new  category  for 
2012.  It  includes  all  agricultural  land  used  for  the 
production  of  agricultural  commodities. 

Drained  by  tile.  Tile  drainage  is  a practice  that 
removes  excess  water  from  the  soils  subsurface. 

Artificially  drained  by  ditches.  A field  ditch  installed 
for  surface  drainage  for  collecting  excess  surface  or 
subsurface  water  in  a field. 

Conservation  easement.  A conservation  easement  is 
a legal  agreement  voluntarily  entered  into  by  a 
property  owner  and  a qualified  conservation 
organization  such  as  a land  trust  or  government 
agency 

No-till  practices  used.  Using  no-till  or  minimum  till 
is  a practice  used  for  weed  control  and  helps  reduce 
weed  seed  germination  by  not  disturbing  the  soil. 

Conservation  tillage . Conserves  the  soil  by  reducing 
erosion  and  decreasing  water  pollution. 

Conventional  tillage.  Refers  to  tillage  operations  that 
use  standard  practices  for  a specific  location  and 
crop  to  bury  crop  residues. 

Cover  crop.  A crop  planted  primarily  to  manage  soil 
fertility,  soil  quality,  water,  weeds,  pests,  diseases,  or 
wildlife. 

Land  used  for  vegetables.  Data  are  for  the  total 
land  used  for  vegetable  and  melon  crops.  The  acres 
were  reported  only  once,  even  though  two  or  more 
harvests  of  a vegetable  or  more  than  one  vegetable 
were  harvested  from  the  same  acres.  Respondents 
also  reported  harvested  acres,  acres  harvested  for 

APPENDIX  B B - 13 


fresh  market,  and  acres  harvested  for  processing  by 
individual  vegetable  crops. 

Landlord’s  share  of  the  total  sales.  Data  represent 
the  share  of  the  operation’s  total  sales  that  went  to 
landlord(s). 

Layers.  This  category  includes  table-egg  type  layers, 
hatching  layers  for  meat-types,  hatching  layers  for 
table  egg  types,  and  reported  bantams. 

Legal  status  for  tax  purposes.  See  Farms  by  legal 
status. 

Less  than  $1,000.  See  Farms  with  sales  and 
government  payments  of  less  than  $1,000. 

Livestock  and  poultry  purchased  or  leased.  See 

Total  farm  production  expenses;  Livestock  and 
poultry  purchased  or  leased. 

Maple  syrup.  Data  are  for  the  number  of  taps  set, 
syrup  produced,  and  value  of  sales. 

Market  value  of  agricultural  products  sold.  This 
category  represents  the  gross  market  value  before 
taxes  and  production  expenses  of  all  agricultural 
products  sold  or  removed  from  the  place  in  2012 
regardless  of  who  received  the  payment.  It  is 
equivalent  to  total  sales  and  it  includes  sales  by  the 
operators  as  well  as  the  value  of  any  shares  received 
by  partners,  landlords,  contractors,  or  others 
associated  with  the  operation.  It  includes  value  of 
direct  sales  and  the  value  of  commodities  placed  in 
the  Commodity  Credit  Corporation  (CCC)  loan 
program.  Market  value  of  agricultural  products  sold 
does  not  include  payments  received  for  participation 
in  other  federal  farm  programs.  Also,  it  does  not 
include  income  from  farm-related  sources  such  as 
customwork  and  other  agricultural  services,  or 
income  from  nonfarm  sources. 

The  value  of  crops  sold  in  2012  does  not  necessarily 
represent  the  sales  from  crops  harvested  in  2012. 
Data  may  include  sales  from  crops  produced  in 
earlier  years  and  may  exclude  some  crops  produced 
in  2007  but  held  in  storage  and  not  sold.  For 
commodities  such  as  sugarbeets  and  wool  sold 
through  a co-op  that  made  payments  in  several 
installments,  respondents  were  requested  to  report 
the  total  value  received  in  2012. 

B -14  APPENDIX  B 


The  value  of  agricultural  products  sold  was 
requested  of  all  operators.  If  the  operators  failed  to 
report  this  information,  estimates  were  made  based 
on  the  amount  of  crops  harvested,  livestock  or 
poultry  inventory,  or  number  sold.  Caution  should  be 
used  when  comparing  sales  in  the  2012  census  with 
sales  reported  in  earlier  censuses.  Sales  figures  are 
expressed  in  current  dollars  and  have  not  been 
adjusted  for  inflation  or  deflation.  See  Farms  with 
sales  and  government  payments  of  less  than  $1,000. 

Market  value  of  agricultural  products  sold  and 
government  payments.  See  Total  market  value  of

Migrant  farm  labor  on  farms  reporting  only 
contract  labor.  Data  are  for  those  operations  that 
did  not  have  hired  farm  workers  but  reported  that 
they  did  have  migrant  contract  workers  on  their 
operation  in  2012. 

Migrant  farm  labor  on  farms  with  hired  labor. 

Operators  were  asked  whether  any  hired  or  contract 
workers  were  migrant  workers.  A migrant  farm 
worker  is  a farm  worker  whose  employment  required 
travel  that  prevented  the  worker  from  returning  to 
his/her  permanent  place  of  residence  the  same  day. 

Migrant  workers,  total.  This  is  a new  item  for 
2012.  The  2007  census  did  not  collect  a total.  Data 
are  for  total  migrant  farm  workers  whose 
employment  requires  travel  that  prevents  the  worker 
from  returning  to  his  or  her  permanent  place  of 
residence  the  same  day. 

Milk  from  cows,  value  of  sales.  This  is  a new  item 
for  2012.  In  2007,  milk  from  cows  value  of  sales 
also  included  other  dairy  products  from  cows.  Data 
are  not  comparable. 

Milk  from  sheep  and  goats,  value.  This  is  a new 
item  for  2012.  In  2007,  milk  from  sheep  and  goats 
value  of  sales  was  included  in  Other  livestock 
products.  Data  are  not  comparable. 

Mink,  live.  For  the  2012  census,  data  are  for 
inventory  and  sales  of  live  mink.  Mink  pelts  are 
included  in  Other  livestock  products.  In  2007,  mink 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture

and  their  pelts  were  reported  together. 

Mint  for  tea  leaves.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  In 
2007  and  previous  censuses,  data  were  included  in 
other  field  crops. 

Miscanthus.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  In  2007 
and  previous  censuses,  data  were  included  in  other 
field  crops. 

Miscellaneous  poultry.  Poultry  other  than  chickens 
or  turkeys.  Listed  in  Chapter  2,  table  20. 

Misreported  or  miscoded  crops.  In  a few  cases, 
data  may  have  been  reported  on  the  wrong  line,  in 
the  wrong  section,  or  the  wrong  crop  code  may  have 
been  assigned  to  a write-in  crop  code.  A few  of  these 
errors  may  not  have  been  identified  and  corrected 
during  processing  which  resulted  in  rare  cases  of 
inaccurately  tabulated  data.  Reports  with  significant 
acres  of  unusual  crops  for  the  area  were  examined  to 
minimize  the  possibility  that  they  were  in  error. 

Mollusks.  These  are  invertebrate  animals  with  a soft 
body  covering  and  shells  of  1-18  parts  or  sections. 
Examples  include  abalones,  clams,  mussels,  oysters, 
and  snails.  See  Aquaculture  for  more  information  on 
production  reported  on  the  census. 

More  than  one  race  reported.  This  category 
represents  those  operators  who  chose  to  report  more 
than  one  race  on  the  census  form. 

Mushroom  spawn.  Respondents  reported  only 
sales;  growing  area  was  not  summarized. 

Mushrooms.  All  mushroom  crops  were  considered 
grown  under  glass  or  other  protection  and  no 
mushroom  data  were  published  as  area  in  the  open. 
Those  reporting  mushrooms  grown  in  the  open  area 
were  converted  to  an  equivalent  area  of  square  feet 
under  protection  proportional  to  their  sales. 

NAICS.  See  Farms  by  North  American  Industry 
Classification  System  (NAICS). 

Net  cash  farm  income  of  the  operations.  This 
concept  is  derived  by  subtracting  total  farm  expenses 
from  total  sales,  government  payments,  and  other 
farm-related  income.  Depreciation  is  not  used  in  the 
calculation  of  net  cash  farm  income.  Net  cash  farm

income  of  the  operation  includes  the  value  of 
commodities  produced  under  production  contract  by 
the  contract  growers. 

For  publication  purposes,  farms  are  divided  into  two 
categories: 

1.  Farms  with  net  gains  (includes  those  operations 
that  broke  even). 

2.  Farms  with  net  losses. 

Net  cash  farm  income  of  the  operators.  This  value 
is  the  operators’  total  revenue  (fees  for  producing 
under  a production  contract,  total  sales  not  under  a 
production  contract,  government  payments,  and 
farm-related  income)  minus  total  expenses  paid  by 
the  operators.  Net  cash  farm  income  of  the  operator 
includes  the  payments  received  for  producing  under 
a production  contract  and  does  not  include  value  of 
commodities  produced  under  production  contract  by 
the  contract  growers.  Depreciation  is  not  used  in  the 
calculation  of  net  cash  farm  income. 

For  publication  purposes,  farms  are  divided  into  two 
categories: 

1.  Farms  with  net  gains  (includes  those  operators 
that  broke  even). 

2.  Farms  with  net  losses. 

Noncitrus  fruit,  all.  This  is  a summation  of  all  acres 
reported  in  the  commodities  defined  as  noncitrus 
such  as  apples,  grapes,  and  plums.

Nursery,  greenhouse,  floriculture,  sod, 
mushrooms,  vegetable  seeds,  and  propagative 
materials.  Data  are  for  total  square  feet  under 
protection  and  acres  in  the  open.  Individual  crop 
data  were  collected  for  area  under  glass  or  other 
protection,  area  in  the  open,  and  sales  of  aquatic 
plants,  floriculture  and  bedding  crops,  nursery  crops, 
sod,  propagative  materials,  food  crops  grown  under 
protection,  and  mushroom  crops.  Total  sales  data  are 
the  summation  of  all  crops. 

Nursery  stock  crops.  Data  include  ornamentals, 
shrubs,  shade  trees,  flowering  trees,  evergreens,  live 
Christmas  trees,  fruit  and  nut  trees  and  plants,  vines,

Farms  by  legal  status. 

Operator.  The  term  operator  designates  a person 
who  operates  a farm,  either  doing  the  work  or 
making  day-to-day  decisions  about  such  things  as 
planting,  harvesting,  feeding,  and  marketing.  The 
operator  may  be  the  owner,  a member  of  the  owner’s 
household,  a hired  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.  The  census 
collected  information  on  the  total  number  of 
operators,  the  total  number  of  women  operators,  and 
demographic  information  for  up  to  three  operators 
per  farm. 

Operator  characteristics.  Operators  (up  to  three 
operators  per  farm)  were  asked  to  report  primary 
occupation,  sex,  age,  race,  place  of  residence,  if 
retired,  number  of  days  worked  off  farm,  year  in 
which  his/her  operation  of  the  farm  began,  year 
began  operating  any  farm,  hired  manager,  number  of 
persons  living  in  the  operators’  households,  internet 
access  and  type  of  services,  and  Spanish,  Hispanic, 
or  Latino  origin.  Information  on  the  total  number  of 
operators  and  total  number  of  women  operators  was 
collected  from  each  operation.  The  principal 
operator  was  asked  to  report  the  percentage  of  total 
household  income  that  came  from  the  farm 
operation.  In  addition,  operators  two  and  three  were 
asked  if  they  were  the  spouse  of  the  principal 
operator. 

Operators,  number.  Demographic  and  other 
information  were  collected  for  up  to  three  operators 
per  farm  - the  principal  operator  plus  up  to  two 
additional  operators.  This  may  be  fewer  than  the 
total  operators  on  some  farms.  Demographic  data  for 
up  to  three  operators  reported  are  presented 
separately  for  women,  by  race  categories,  and  for

Organic  agriculture.  Respondents  were  instructed 
to  indicate  if  they  had  organic  production  according 
to  USDA’s  National  Organic  Program  (NOP)  in 
2012.  Respondents  reported  whether  their  organic 
production  was  certified  or  exempt  from  certification 
and  the  sales  from  NOP  produced  commodities. 
They  also  reported  whether  they  had  acres 
transitioning  into  NOP  production  and  the  value  of

products  that  did  not  have  a specific  code  on  the 
2012  report  form.  Data  are  for  farms  with 
production,  not  necessarily  sold.  Mink  pelts  and 
rabbit  pelts  are  included  here  in  2012,  but  were  in 
specific  codes  in  2007,  so  data  are  not  directly 
comparable. 

Other  noncitrus  fruit.  Data  relate  to  any  noncitrus 
fruit  not  having  a specific  code  on  the  census  report 
form. 

Other  nuts.  This  category  includes  any  nut  crop  not 
having  a specific  code  on  the  report  form. 

Other  oranges.  Data  are  for  Oranges  other  than 
Valencia  oranges,  including  Navel  oranges. 

Other  pasture  and  grazing  land  that  could  have 
been  used  for  crops  without  additional 
improvements.  This  category  includes  land  used 
only  for  pasture  or  grazing  that  could  have  been 
used  for  crops  without  additional  improvement. 
Also  included  are  acres  of  crops  hogged  or  grazed 
but  not  harvested  prior  to  grazing.  However, 
cropland  that  was  pastured  before  or  after  crops 
were  harvested  in  2012  was  included  as  harvested 
cropland  rather  than  cropland  for  pasture  or 
grazing.  In  2007,  this  category  was  referred  to  as 
other  pasture  or  grazing  land  that  could  have  been 
used  for  crops  without  additional  improvements. 
This  is  a wording  change  only;  data  are 
comparable.

Other  poultry.  Data  are  for  other  poultry  not  having 
a specific  code  on  the  report  form.  The  list  of 
poultry  with  specific  codes  changed  from  2007,  so 
data  are  not  directly  comparable. 

Other  tame  hay.  See  Hay,  other  tame  dry  hay. 

Other  vegetables.  Data  shown  for  other  vegetables 
relate  to  any  vegetable  not  having  a specific  code  on 
the  census  form. 

Owned  horses  and  ponies.  Only  horses  and  ponies 
which  are  owned  by  the  operation  and  sold 
contribute  to  the  total  value  of  production  of  the 
operation.  Horses  on  the  operation  which  are  not 
owned  and  sold  do  not  contribute  to  the  total  value 
of  production.  Therefore,  the  value  of  horses  owned 
sold  is  published  instead  of  all  sold  horses.  This 
removes  not  owned  horses  sold  that  were  not  part  of 
an  operation’s  value  of  production.  It  is  not  possible 
to  publish  a value  for  Total  horses  sold  in  2012  as 
the  data  were  not  summarized. 

Patronage  dividends.  See  Total  income  from  farm- 
related  sources,  gross  before  taxes  and  expenses. 

Payments  received  by  the  contractee  for 
commodities  produced  under  production 
contract.  These  data  show  the  number  of  farms  and 
the  dollar  amount  the  contractees  received  from 
contractors  for  commodities  produced  under 
contract.  This  is  not  the  market  value  of  the 
commodities  delivered,  but  the  payment  or  fee  the 
operators  received  for  commodities  delivered. 

Peaches,  all.  Data  for  all  peaches  were  collected  as  a 
category  in  all  States  except  for  California  and 
Arizona.  Peach  data  in  California  and  Arizona  were 
collected  separately  for  clingstone  and  freestone 
peaches.  The  data  were  later  combined  with  all 
peaches  for  publication.  Data  for  clingstone  and 
freestone  are  found  in  the  California  and  Arizona 
publications  only. 

Peacocks  and  peahens.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012. 
In  2007,  peacocks  and  peahens  were  reported  as 
other  poultry. 

Pears,  all.  Data  for  all  pears  were  collected  as  a 
category  in  all  States  except  for  California,  Arizona, 
Idaho,  Oregon,  Alaska,  and  Washington.  These 

B -18  APPENDIX  B 


States  collected  data  separately  for  Bartlett  pears  and 
Other  pears  which  were  later  combined  into  the  Pear, 
all  category.  Data  for  Bartlett  and  other  pears  are 
found  only  in  the  State  publications  where  collected. 

Pecans,  all.  All  pecans  is  a summation  of  Pecans, 
improved  and  Pecans,  native  and  seedling.  Total 
acres,  bearing  acres,  and  nonbearing  acres  were 
collected  by  category. 

Pecans,  improved.  Improved  pecans  are  varieties 
that  have  been  genetically  altered  through  breeding 
and  grafting  techniques  to  produce  more  nuts,  and 
nuts  with  a greater  percentage  of  nut  meat.  See 
Pecans,  all  for  further  explanation. 

Pecans,  native  and  seedlings.  Native  pecans  are 
varieties  that  developed  under  natural  conditions. 
Seedling  pecans  are  produced  from  seed  (the  nut) 
and  have  not  been  budded  or  grafted.  See  Pecans,  all 
for  further  explanation. 

Peppers,  Bell  (excluding  pimientos).  Pimientos 
were  reported  as  other  vegetables. 

Peppers,  other  than  bell  (including  chile).  The 

data  include  all  other  peppers  including  chile. 
Pimientos  were  reported  as  other  vegetables. 

Permanent  pasture  and  rangeland,  other  than 
cropland  and  woodland  pastured.  This  land  use 
category  encompasses  grazable  land  that  does  not 
qualify  as  woodland  pasture  or  cropland  pasture.  It 
may  be  irrigated  or  dry  land.  In  some  areas,  it  can  be 
a high  quality  pasture  that  could  not  be  cropped 
without  improvements.  In  other  areas,  it  is  barely 
able  to  be  grazed  and  is  only  marginally  better  than 
wasteland. 

Plums.  This  item  was  reported  as  an  individual  item 
only  in  California  and  Arizona.  All  other  States 
reported  plums  in  a combined  plum  and  prune 
category. 

Plumcots,  pluots,  and  other  plum-apricot  hybrids. 

In  2012,  plumcots,  pluots  and  other  plum-apricot 
hybrids  were  reported  as  an  individual  item  only  in 
California,  Arizona,  Idaho,  Oregon,  Alaska, 
Washington,  Nebraska,  Kansas,  Iowa,  Wisconsin, 
Illinois,  Indiana,  Michigan,  Ohio,  New  York, 
Pennsylvania,  New  Jersey,  and  New  England  States. 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


In  all  other  States  they  were  reported  in  the  Other 
noncitrus  category.  In  2007,  this  category  was 
referred  to  as  pluots  and  they  were  reported  as  an 
individual  item  in  California,  Arizona,  Idaho, 
Oregon,  Alaska,  and  Washington.  Pluot  is  a 
registered  trademark  of  plumcots,  which  are  genetic 
crosses  between  plums  and  apricots.  This  is  only  a 
wording  change,  all  data  are  comparable. 

Potatoes.  Potato  acres  are  included  in  the  vegetable 
acres.  Data  are  for  total  acres  harvested,  acres 
harvested  for  fresh  market,  and  acres  harvested  for 
processing.  Production  was  not  collected. 

Poultry  hatched.  This  category  includes  all  poultry 
hatched  on  the  operation  during  the  year.  The 
number  of  poultry  hatched  is  under  the  sales 
heading. 

Poultry,  other.  See  Other  poultry. 

Primary  occupation  of  operator.  Data  on  age  and 

primary  occupation  were  obtained  from  up  to  three 
operators  per  farm.  The  primary  occupation 
classifications  used  were: 

1.  Farming  or  ranch  work . The  operator  spent  50- 
percent  or  more  of  his/her  worktime  during  2012 
at  farming  or  ranching. 

2.  Other.  The  operator  spent  less  than  50-percent 
of  his/her  worktime  during  2012  in  farming  or 
ranching  operations. 

Principal  operator.  The  person  primarily 

responsible  for  the  on-site,  day-to-day  operation  of 
the  farm  or  ranch  business.  This  person  may  be  a 
hired  manager  or  business  manager.  See  Operators 
for  further  explanation. 

Production  contracts.  See  Commodities  raised  and 
delivered  under  production  contracts. 

Production  expenses.  See  Total  farm  production 
expenses. 

Prunes.  This  was  reported  as  an  individual  item  only 
in  California  and  Arizona.  All  other  States  reported 
prunes  in  a combined  plum  and  prune  category. 

Pullets  for  laying  flock  replacement.  Data  are  for 
2012  Census  of  Agriculture 

USDA,  National  Agricultural  Statistics  Service 


pullet  inventory  and  the  number  sold  or  moved  for 
laying  flock  replacement. 

Pulse  crops.  For  2012,  pulse  crops  text  was  added  to 
the  Grain  Storage  screener  question  for  clarity.  Pulse 
crops  include  dry  beans,  dry  peas,  lentils,  lupines, 
and  other  minor  pulse  crops.  Data  are  comparable. 

Rabbits,  live.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  The  data 
are  for  inventory  and  sales  of  live  rabbits.  Rabbit 
pelts  are  included  in  Other  livestock  products.  In 
2007,  rabbits  and  their  pelts  were  reported  together. 

Race  of  operator.  With  the  exception  of  Hawaii, 
data  were  collected  for  American  Indian  (included 
Alaska  Native),  Asian,  Black  or  African  American, 
Native  Hawaiian  and  Other  Pacific  Islander,  and 
White  operators.  Respondents  were  asked  to  mark 
one  or  more  of  the  race  categories.  In  Hawaii 
operator  race  data  were  collected  for  American 
Indian  (included  Alaska  Native),  Chinese,  Filipino, 
Japanese,  Korean,  Other  Asian,  Black  or  African 
American,  Native  Hawaiian,  other  Pacific  Islander, 
and  White.  The  combination  of  Native  Hawaiian  and 
Other  Pacific  Islander  is  equivalent  to  the  Native 
Hawaiian  or  Other  Pacific  Islander  category  on  the 
other  forms.  The  combination  of  the  Chinese, 
Filipino,  Japanese,  Korean,  and  Other  Asian 
categories  is  equivalent  to  the  Asian  category  on  the 
other  forms.  The  Volume  1,  Geographic  Area  Series, 
U.S.  Summary  publication  only  displays  counts  for 
the  categories  of  Native  Hawaiian  and  Other  Pacific 
Islander  and  Asian.  Data  for  the  11  Hawaii  race 
categories  are  published  in  chapter  2 of  the  Hawaii 
publication  of  the  Volume  1 series. 

Raspberries,  all.  Raspberries  were  reported  as  All 
raspberries  but  the  data  for  black  and  red  are 
reported  separately  in  Alaska,  Idaho,  Oregon,  and 
Washington  where  they  were  reported  as  black 
raspberries  or  red  raspberries.  In  these  States,  black 
raspberries  and  red  raspberries  data  were  combined 
as  Raspberries,  all  for  comparability  with  other 
States. 

Raspberries,  black.  See  Raspberries. 

Raspberries,  red.  See  Raspberries. 

Renewable  energy  producing  systems.  This  is  a 
new  category  for  2012.  These  types  of  systems 

APPENDIX  B B - 19 


produce  power,  heat,  or  mechanical  energy  by 
converting  resources  either  to  electricity  or  to  motor 
power. 

Biodiesel . Data  are  for  production  of  non-petroleum 
based  diesel  fuel  made  from  vegetable  oil  or  animal 
fats.  Biodiesel  can  be  used  alone  or  blended  with 
conventional  petroleum-based  diesel  fuel 

Ethanol.  A fuel  produced  by  converting  crops  such 
as  corn  and  sugarcane,  biomass  crops,  or  wood.  This 
fuel  is  generally  blended  with  gasoline.  Production 
of  ethanol  for  fuel  requires  a permit  from  the  Bureau 
of  Alcohol,  Tobacco,  and  Firearms  (ATF).  Only 
ethanol  production  for  fuel  was  reported. 

Geoexchange  system.  A system  that  uses 
temperatures  from  the  earth  to  reduce  the  operational 
costs  of  heating  and  cooling. 

Methane  digesters.  It  is  a device  which  captures 
biogas  resulting  from  the  decomposition  of  manure, 
processing  by-products,  and  other  materials. 
Harvested  biogas  is  used  as  a substitute  for  natural 
gas  to  power  engines  which  generate  electricity.  It  is 
fed  into  the  natural  gas  pipeline  or  flared.  Methane 
digesters  were  reported  only  if  in  production  and 
used  in  2012. 

Small  hydro  system.  A water  driven  system,  which 
produces  electricity,  by  the  gravitational  force  of 
falling  or  flowing  water.  It  excludes  water  driven 
systems  that  only  provide  mechanical  power,  such  as 
turning  a grinding  stone  for  a flour  mill. 

Solar  panel.  A flat  panel  designed  to  capture  the 
sun’s  energy.  Include  photovoltaic  systems,  which 
convert  light  from  the  sun  into  electricity,  and 
thermal  systems  that  passively  generate  electricity. 

Wind  turbines.  A device  which  converts  wind  power 
into  electricity.  Include  wind  generators,  wind  power 
units,  wind  energy  converters  and  aero  generators.

States  (AK,  AZ,  CA,  CO,  HI,  ID,  MN,  MT,  NV, 
ND,  OR,  SD,  UT,  WA,  WY)  are  for  sheep  and  lambs 
of  all  ages  owned  regardless  of  location.  Data  for  all 
other  States  are  for  sheep  and  lambs  of  all  ages  on 
the  operation  regardless  of  ownership.  Sheep  and 
lambs  were  collected  in  their  own  section  to  clarify 
to  respondents  when  to  report  “owned”  sheep  and 
lambs  versus  any  sheep  and  lambs  on  the  operation. 

Short-rotation  woody  crops.  Data  are  for  short- 
rotation  woody  crops  that  grow  from  seed  to  a 
mature  tree  in  10  years  or  less.  These  are  trees  for 
use  by  the  paper  or  pulp  industry  or  as  engineered 
wood.  This  does  not  include  lumber.  Acres  in 
production  were  included  in  Cropland  harvested  in 
the  “Land”  section  of  the  report  form. 

Size  of  farm.  See  Farms  by  size. 

Small  hydro  system.  See  Renewable  energy 
producing  systems.

collected. 

Switchgrass.  This  is  a new  item  for  2012.  In  2007 
and  previous  censuses,  data  were  included  in  other 
field  crops.  Other  field  crops  data  are  comparable. 

Tame  hay.  See  Hay,  other  tame  dry  hay. 

Tenure.  See  Farms  by  tenure  of  operator. 

Tobacco  transplants.  Data  are  for  tobacco 
transplants  that  were  sold  for  transplant  to  farm 
fields.  Transplants  grown  for  transplanting  to  the 
same  operation  were  not  reported  or  removed  during 
data  review. 

Tomatoes  in  the  open.  Data  are  for  tomatoes  grown 
in  the  open  and  excludes  tomatoes  produced  under 
glass  or  other  protection. 

Total  cropland.  This  category  includes  cropland 
harvested,  other  pasture  and  grazing  land  that  could 
have  been  used  for  crops  without  additional 
improvements,  cropland  on  which  all  crops  failed  or 
were  abandoned,  cropland  in  cultivated  summer 
fallow,  and  cropland  idle  or  used  for  cover  crops  or 
soil  improvement  but  not  harvested  and  not  pastured 
or  grazed. 

Total  farm  production  expenses.  Includes  the 
production  expenses  provided  by  the  operators, 
partners,  landlords  (excluding  property  taxes),  and 
production  contractors  for  the  farm  business  in  2012. 
Tenant  farmers  reported  expenses  paid  by  landlords 
for  the  agricultural  production  on  the  operation,  as 
well  as  their  expenses.  Farm  or  ranch  operators  who 
rented  part  of  their  land  to  others  reported  only  the 
expenses  for  the  land  they  actually  used  themselves 
and  not  expenses  for  land  rented  to  others.  The  2012 
total  farm  production  expenditure  includes  all  farm- 
related  expenses  such  as  customwork,  fuel  costs,  cost 
of  cutting  timber,  services  provided  to  hunters, 
cooperative  membership  fees,  etc.  However,  if  the 
income  from  these  farm-related  categories  was  not 
considered  a part  of  the  operation  (i.e.,  if  the  income 
was  regarded  as  derived  from  a separate  business), 
then  the  associated  expenses  were  not  included.  The 
contractor’s  portion  of  expenses  was  solely  based  on 
computer  generated  estimates  for  2012. 

This  item  excludes  expenses  relating  to  non-farm 

2012  Census  of  Agriculture

activities  such  as  trading  and  speculation  in  the 
commodities  market  or  livestock  trading  activities. 
Explanations  of  selected  production  expenses  are 
listed  below. 

All  other  production  expenses.  This  category 
includes  all  expenses  not  listed  on  the  report  form. 
Examples  include  animal  health  costs,  storage  and 
warehousing,  marketing  and  ginning  expenses, 
insurance,  etc.  Health  expenses  and  payroll  taxes

for  beef  and  dairy  cows,  heifers,  bulls,  sows,  gilts, 
boars,  rams,  lambs,  ewes,  roosters,  hens,  layers,  etc. 
Estimations  of  the  value  of  livestock  or  poultry  fed 
on  a custom  basis  were  to  be  made  based  on  their 
value  when  they  arrived  on  the  farm  or  ranch. 

Cash  rent  paid  in  2012  for  land  and  buildings.  These 
data  include  the  cost  of  renting  land  and  buildings

to  contractors,  crew  leaders,  cooperatives,  or  any 
other  organization  hired  to  furnish  a crew  of  laborers 
to  do  a job  that  may  involve  one  or  more  agricultural 
operations.  In  some  cases,  a crew  leader  may  furnish 
some  equipment.  Data  exclude  expenses  made  on  a 
contractual  basis  for  repair  or  maintenance  or  for 
capital  improvements,  such  as  construction  of  farm 
buildings,  installation  of  fences  or  irrigation  systems, 
and  land  leveling. 

Customwork  and  custom  hauling.  These  expenses 
include  costs  incurred  for  having  customwork  done 
on  the  place  and  for  renting  machines  to  perform 
agricultural  operations.  The  cost  of  cotton  ginning  is 
excluded.  The  cost  of  labor  involved  in  the 
customwork  service  is  included  in  the  customwork

planting,  spraying,  harvesting,  preparation  of 
products  for  marketing,  grinding  and  mixing  feed, 
corn  picking,  grain  drying,  and  silo  filling.  The  cost 
of  custom  application  of  fertilizer  and  chemicals  is 
included  in  expenditures  for  fertilizer  and  chemicals 
in  2012,  just  as  it  was  in  the  2007  census.  The  cost  of 
hired  labor  for  operating  rented  or  hired  machinery  is 
included  as  a hired  farm  and  ranch  labor  expense.

are  non-farm  interest  expenses  and  interest  expenses 
originating  from  machinery  and  equipment  used  for 
a separate  customwork  business  or  for  other 
operations.  Interest  expense  for  the  operator’s 
dwelling,  where  the  amount  is  separate  from  interest 
on  farm  land  and  buildings  on  the  operation,  is 
excluded.  Interest  paid  on  debts  was  reported  in  one 
of  two  categories: 

1.  Secured  by  real  estate.  These  data  include  all 

B - 22  APPENDIX  B 


interest  expenses  paid  in  2012  on  debts  secured 
by  real  estate  for  the  farm. 

2.  Not  secured  by  real  estate.  These  data  include  all

from  customwork  and  other  agricultural  services  is 
generally  included  in  the  agriculture  census  if  it  is 
closely  related  to  the  farming  operation.  However,  it 
is  excluded  if  it  constituted  a separate  business  or 
was  conducted  from  another  location.

2012  report  form,  but  in  2007,  these  commodities 
were  combined  and  may  have  come  from  either 
crops  or  livestock  production.  The  data  for  the  2012 
census  years  is  not  directly  comparable. 

Total  sales.  See  Market  value  of  agricultural 
products  sold.

for  meat  production,  turkey  hens  and  toms  kept  for 
breeding,  and  turkey  brooders,  tabulated  from  three 
questions.  Turkey  brooders  are  immature  birds  sent 
to  another  farm  for  further  growout  to  meat 
production  or  breeding.  This  may  result  in  a turkey 
being  sold  more  than  once  from  different  operations.

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. 

Woodland,  total.  This  category  includes  natural  or 
planted  woodlots  or  timber  tracts,  cutover  and 
deforested  land  with  young  growth  which  has  or  will

Write-in  crops.  To  reduce  the  length  of  the  report 
form,  only  the  major  crops  for  each  region  were 
prelisted  on  the  regional  report  forms.  For  other 
crops,  the  respondent  was  asked  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  of  the  appropriate  “all  other” 
category  for  that  section.  Write-in  crops  coded  as 


“all  other”  were  reviewed  and  assigned  a specific 
code  when  possible.  Crops  not  assigned  a specific 
code  were  left  in  the  appropriate  “all  other” 
category. 

Years  operating  any  farm.  This  is  a new  item  for

responsible  for  the  on-site,  day-to-day  operation  of  the  farm  or 
ranch  business. 

Item  1 - Enter  the  total  number  of  people  who  made  day-to-day 
decisions  for  this  operation,  and  the  number  of  women 
operators.  Do  not  report  as  operators  minor-aged  children  who 
only  worked  on  the  farm. 

Item  2 - Answer  each  question  for  up  to  three  operators.  If  there 
were  more  than  three,  answer  for  three  operators  only. 

Item  2d  - The  principal  occupation  of  the  operator(s)  is  the 
occupation  at  which  an  operator  spent  the  majority  of  his/her

operations  were  resumed. 

Item  2i  - Report  the  first  year  the  specified  operator  began  to 
operate  part  of  ANT7  operation  on  a continuous  basis. 

Item  3 - The  number  of  households  that  share  in  the  net  farm 
income  are  those  households  involved  with  the  day-to-day 
decisions  and  not  those  households  that  received  funds  because 
they  are  landlords,  custom  equipment  operators,  or  provide 
other  supplies  that  are  fisted  in  Section  25,  Production 
Expenses.  Your  answer  should  not  exceed  the  number  of 
operators  listed  in  Item  1.

Section  36  - Type  of  Organization 


Use  the  following  definitions  to  determine  the  type  of 
organization  for  this  operation.

corporations  under  “Inc  orp  orated  under  state  law.” 

Pailnership  operation  - Tw'o  or  more  persons  who  conduct  an 
operation  together  and  share  work  and  profits.  Co-ownership  of 
land  by  husband  and  wife  or  joint  filing  of  income  tax  forms  by 
husband  and  wife  does  not  constitute  a partnership  unless  a 
specific  agreement  to  share  contributions,  decision  making, 
profits,  and  liabilities  exists.  Production  under  contract  or  under 
a share  rental  agreement  does  not  constitute  a partnership. 

Inc  orp  orated  un  der  state  lan > - A coip  oration  is  a legal  entity  or 
artificial  person  created  under  the  laws  of  a State  to  carry  on  a 
business,  including  family  corporations.  Exclude  cooperatives,

Other  - Estate  or  trust,  grazing  association,  American  Indian 
Reservation,  university  farm,  prison  farm,  institution  run  by  a

jointly  by  the  members),  etc. 


Section  37  - Conclusion 


Item  1 - If  your  operation  might  be  identified  under  a different 
name  than  printed  on  the  front  of  the  form  (for  example,  a farm 
name  or  another  partner),  please  provide  these  names. 

Item  2a  - All  farms  and  ranches  should  receive  their  own  forms 
to  complete.  If  you  operated  another  farm  or  ranch,  indicate 
whether  you  received  a form  for  that  operation.
