Washington, D.C. Agricultural Prices Released November 30, 2001, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, U.S. Department of Agriculture. For information on "Agricultural Prices" or other assistance, see page B-9. Prices Received Index Down 1 Point The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in November was 93, based on 1990-92=100, down 1 point (1.0 percent) from the October Index. Lower prices for milk, cattle, hogs, broilers, cotton, and apples more than offset higher prices for soybeans, potatoes, eggs, strawberries, and wheat. The seasonal change in the mix of commodities farmers sell often affects the overall index. Higher seasonal marketings of milk, cotton, cattle, cottonseed, and broilers more than offset lower marketings of soybeans, peanuts, and potatoes. Compared with November 2000, the current All Farm Products Index was 5 points (5.1 percent) lower. Price decreases from November 2000 for cattle, lettuce, soybeans, eggs, and rice more than offset increases in potatoes, hay, broilers, and wheat. Prices Paid Index Down 1 Point The November 2001 Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) was 122 percent of the 1990-92 average. The index was down 1 point (0.8 percent) from October, but 1 point (0.8 percent) higher than November 2000. Lower prices in November for feeder cattle and calves, nitrogen fertilizer materials, diesel fuel, complete feeds, and gasoline were slightly offset by higher prices paid for farm machinery, feeder pigs, hays and forages, and new trucks.

Reliability of Prices Received 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". Reliability: U.S. price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for non-probability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the U.S. relative sampling errors at around five 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. Prices Paid by Farmers The November Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) was 122 (1990-92=100), down 0.8 percent from October but 0.8 percent higher than November 2000. Production Index: The November Farm Production, Goods, and Services Index, at 117, was 0.8 percent below last month and last year. Lower prices in November for feeder cattle and calves, nitrogen fertilizer materials, diesel fuel, complete feeds, and gasoline were slightly offset by higher prices for farm machinery, feeder pigs, hays and forages, and new trucks. Feed: The Feed Index, at 108, was 0.9 percent less than October but 4.9 percent greater than last November. Lower prices for complete feeds, feed concentrates, and feed supplements account for the month-to-month index decline. Livestock and Poultry: The Index for Livestock and Poultry purchases, at 107, was 5.3 percent less than October and 4.5 percent less than last year. Lower prices for feeder cattle and calves since October account for the decline in the index. The November feeder cattle price, at $86.70 per cwt, was down $6.70 per cwt from the October price due partially to heavier weight animals being sold. Fertilizer: The Fertilizer Index, at 107, was down 1.8 percent from October and 7.8 percent less than a year ago. Lower prices for nitrogen materials since October account for the decline. Agricultural Chemicals: The Chemical Index, at 121, was unchanged from last month but 0.8 percent above last October. Slightly lower prices in November for insecticides did not affect the index. Fuels: The Fuels Index, at 96, was down 6.8 percent from a month earlier and 36 percent less than November 2000. Lower prices for diesel fuel, gasoline, and LP gas account for the decline. Farm Machinery: The November Farm Machinery Index, at 143, increased 1.4 percent from both last month and November 2000. Since October, prices for all components of the machinery index were fractionally higher. Consumer Price Index: The October 2001 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) declined 0.3 percent, before seasonal adjustment, to a level of 177.7 (1982-84=100). This compares to the September index of 178.3. For the 12-month period ending in October, the overall index has increased 2.1 percent.

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).
