For assistance with general agricultural statistics, information about NASS, its products or services, contact the NASS Information Hotline at 1-800-727-9540 or E-mail: NASS@NASS.USDA.GOV Prices Received Index Up 1 Point The All Farm Products Index of Prices Received in April was a record 110 based on 1990-92=100, up 1 point (0.9 percent) from March. Price gains from March for corn, soybeans, wheat, and oranges more than offset price declines for tomatoes, cattle, lettuce, and eggs. The seasonal changes in the mix of commodities farmers sell also affect the overall index level. The April mixture of commodities sold indicates relatively less grains and oilseeds and more fruits and vegetables, resulting in a downward influence on the index. However, these changes were not large enough to offset the influence of price gains from March. Compared with April 1995, the All Farm Products Index was 11 points (11 percent) higher. Price increases from April 1995 for corn, hogs, tomatoes, and soybeans more than offset price decreases for lettuce, cattle, calves, and onions. Prices Paid Index Up 1 Point The April index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, at 115 of its 1990-92 average, was up 1 point (0.9 percent) from March 1996 and 6 points (5.5 percent) from April 1995. Since March, price increases for feed, fuels, and fertilizer partially offset lower prices for livestock purchases, especially feeder cattle.

Indexes for 1995 were constructed for historical comparison. 2/ Ratio of index of prices received by farmers to index of prices paid. Pr 1 (4-96) Prices Received by Farmers The April All Farm Products Index was 110 percent of its 1990-92 base, up 0.9 percent from March and 11 percent above April 1995. All Crops: The April index was a record 134, up 4.7 percent from March and 20 percent from April 1995. Price gains from March for most field crops and citrus more than offset declines for several vegetables. Feed Grains & Hay: The April index was a record 168, up 15 percent from the previous month and 62 percent from April 1995. Prices were higher for all feed grains and hay. The April corn price averaged $4.11 per bushel and the sorghum price averaged $7.38 per cwt, both record highs. Strong export demand and lower projected U.S. coarse grain stocks continue to support prices. Fruit & Nuts: The April fruit and nuts index, at 107, increased 10 percent from the previous month and 32 percent from April 1995. Price increases from March for citrus more than offset price declines for apples and strawberries. Higher prices for fresh and processed oranges were the major contributor to the higher index. Valencia harvest was in full swing in Florida but the seasonally higher processed volume did not dampen prices. Commercial Vegetables: The April index of 133 was 7.6 percent below March and 23 percent below last year. Lower prices for tomatoes, lettuce, cauliflower, sweet corn, snap beans, and cucumbers more than offset gains in other vegetables. Contributing most to the monthly index decline were lower tomato and lettuce prices, reflecting increased supply expectations. Onion prices recovered somewhat as supplies declined seasonally and spring production prospects dimmed. Other vegetable prices followed seasonal patterns. Oil-Bearing Crops: The index was 134, up 7.2 percent from March and 35 percent above one year ago. The April soybean price increased 51 cents to $7.51 per bushel, the highest since March 1989, fueled by higher export prospects due to increased imports by China and reduced Brazilian exports. Food Grains: The April index was a record 170, up 5.6 percent from the previous month and 50 percent above April 1995. Wheat prices were 35 cents higher at $5.41 per bushel, the highest since February 1974, while rice prices declined 13 cents to $9.18 per hundredweight. Lower forecasted U.S. ending wheat stocks due to increased domestic food and seed use supported wheat prices. Lower projected U.S. rice exports weakened rice prices. Cotton: The April index was 131, up 3.1 percent from March and 2.3 percent above April 1995. The April cotton price, at 79.4 cents per pound, increased 2.2 cents from March and 1.8 cents from a year ago. A strong export market has helped keep prices firm despite relatively sluggish mill demand. Livestock & Products: The April index, at 93, was unchanged from March but 3.3 percent above a year earlier. Hog and broiler prices were up from March while cattle and egg prices were down. Meat Animals: The April index, at 81, was down 2.4 percent from March 1996, 3.6 percent from April 1995, and the lowest index in nearly 10 years. The lowest cattle prices in almost 10 years more than offset higher prices for hogs. Beef cattle prices, at $55.60 per cwt, have fallen $5.10 in the past five months and were at their lowest level since December 1986. Calf prices, at $56.30 per cwt, were down $25.50 from April 1995 and the lowest since September 1983. High grain prices, poor weather, and beef supplies well above year earlier levels have all contributed to keep prices down. April hog prices, at $49.40 per cwt, were up 80 cents from March and $13.80 above the previous year.

Weighted 1990-92 average equals 100. Reliability of Prices Received by Farmers Estimates Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash receipts for the commodity. Survey Procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of 2600 mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total U.S. production. Livestock prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and livestock are not included since they represent very small percentages of the total marketings. Grain marketed for seed is also excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities. Summary and Estimation Procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a U.S. price based on expanded marketings. Recommendations are prepared by the State Statistical Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent historic estimates. Revisions: For most items, the current month's price represents a 3-5 day period around the mid-month. Previous month's prices represent actual dollars received for quantities sold during the entire month. Revisions are published in monthly issues of "Agricultural Prices" and in the annual summary published in July. A schedule of monthly revisions is published in the December issue of "Agricultural Prices" and in the July annual summary. Reliability: U.S. price estimates generally have a sampling error of less than one half percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. To assist users in evaluating the reliability of prices received estimates for major grain commodities, the "Root Mean Square Error" is shown in the table on the next page. The "Root Mean Square Error" is a statistical measure based on past performance and is computed using the difference between first and final estimates. The "Root Mean Square Error" for the 5-month corn price is 0.2 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current 5-month price of $2.47 per bushel will not be above or below the final 5-month price by more than 0.2 percent, or about half of a cent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90% confidence interval) that the difference will not exceed 0.3 percent, or about three-fourths of a penny.

Prices Paid The April Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) was 115 (1990-92=100), up 0.9 percent from March and 5.5 percent from April 1995. Production Index: The farm production, goods, and services index for April 1996, at 114, was 0.9 percent above last month and 5.6 percent higher than April last year. Since March 1996, price increases for feed, fuels, and fertilizer were partially offset by lower prices for livestock purchases, especially feeder cattle. Feed: At 132, the feed index increased 4.8 percent from March and 32 percent from April a year ago. All feed component prices were higher compared with last month. Feed grains and complete feeds led the price rise. Livestock and Poultry: The index for livestock and poultry purchases was 69, a drop of 4.2 percent from last month and 16 percent from April a year earlier. Lower April feeder cattle and calf prices contributed most to the decline. Fuels: The fuels index, at 105, was up 6.1 percent from last month and 15 percent above April 1995. Higher diesel and gasoline prices since March had the greatest impact on the index increase. Fertilizer: The April index, at 130, was up 1.6 percent from March and 3.2 percent above April 1995. Higher April prices for mixed fertilizers showed the most increase. Seeds: At 117, the seeds index rose 6.4 percent from April 1995. Since last surveyed in April 1995, prices were higher for most field crop seeds. Consumer Price Index: The March 1996 Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.8 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 155.7 (1982-84=100). The February index was 154.9. For the 12-month period ending in March, the overall index increased 2.8 percent.

chemicals, fuels, farm supplies and repairs, autos and trucks farm machinery, building materials, and farm services and rent. 3/ Ratio of prices received by farmers to index of commodities and services, interest, taxes, and wage rates. 4/ Ratio of the index of prices received by farmers after adjustment for government payments to the index of prices paid, for commodities and services, interest, taxes, and wage rates. 5/ Index is adjusted based on productivity trend for the prior 15 years. Prices Paid by Farmers Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce agricultural commodities. Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should equal total producer expenditures for the item. Survey Procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that sell goods and services to farmers and ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average response rate in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the price for the specified item "most commonly bought by farmers" or that was the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each April to represent all production input items purchased. The survey reference period for most items is the 5 business days centered around the 15th of the month. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for, agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed. Summary and Estimation Procedures: The annual April Paid Survey is summarized as a nonprobability survey. Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and U.S. level using weights available from expenditure data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the State Statistical Offices and Headquarters for review by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price level for individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and U.S. levels, and are published as prices paid indexes referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor supplies, and marketing containers are updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indexes. Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of "Agricultural Prices". The basis for revision must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely in April when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change. Reliability: Current methods of summarization in April are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the U.S. relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent. Any nonsampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these nonsampling errors. Program Change: Effective January 1, 1995, the National Agricultural Statistics Service updated the weights and changed the construction of its prices paid and received by farmers indexes. A Federal Register Notice dated October 28, 1994 discussed these program modifications. A 1990-92 reference and base period replaced the 1977 reference and 1971-73 base weight period. Five-year moving average weights replaced the current fixed 1971-73 base period weights. The 1910-14=100 price indexes, required by statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 1990-92=100 indexes. The new indexes were constructed by multiplying the ratios of the current prices to the base period prices by the moving average weights (adjusted for seasonal marketing patterns for the prices received indexes).
