Total pounds of turkey in freezers were up 3 percent from last month and up 7 percent from December 31, 2005. Special Note Mandatory reporting for dairy products in cold storage has improved the reporting on the Cold Storage Survey. As a result, additional data for some commodities have been collected that were not previously reported on the survey. In order to maintain the month-to-month and year-to-year comparisons, estimates have been adjusted to exclude the newly acquired data in the summary tables. Estimates have been revised accordingly for selected commodities. NASS will provide data for these commodities in a new table found on the contents page. This table will be updated monthly until the end of the calendar year. All commodities for 2006 will be further revised, if necessary, in the annual Cold Storage report issued in February 2007. This page is intentionally blank.

In addition, apple data are obtained from special surveys and other sources (State Departments of Agriculture, U.S. Apple Association, etc.). All survey data represent stocks as of the end of the month. Data are collected from warehouses artificially cooled to a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and whose food products are normally stored for 30 days or more. All food items in these facilities are reported regardless of the number of days stored at the time of the report. Also included are specialized storage facilities meeting the 30 day requirement, such as fruit houses, dairy manufacturing plants, frozen fruit, fruit juice, and vegetable processors, and poultry and meat packing plants. Excluded are stocks in space maintained by wholesalers, jobbers, distributors, chain stores, locker plants containing individual lockers, meat packer branch houses, and frozen food processors whose entire inventories are turned over more than once a month. Estimating Procedures: Data for reporting firms are added to estimates for non-reporting firms to obtain regional and National totals. Estimates for non-reporting firms are obtained by multiplying the previous month's figure by a percent change from the previous month. The percent change is calculated for each item from totals of the current and previous month summed from firms that reported both months. Revision Policy: Data are revised the following month based on late reports or corrected data. Final figures are published in the annual summary in February of the following year. Reliability: Reports are received from 900 firms each month which represent about 70 percent of the total capacity. Firms that are not on the list or firms who have never reported are not represented in the data. Monthly data can vary due to different firms reporting month to month. Survey data are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in processing the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized by carefully reviewing all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
