Apples in Cold Storage: By State and United States, March 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : All Warehouses :----------------------------------------------------------- State : Mar 31, : Feb 28, : Mar 31, : 2006 : 2007 : 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : 1,000 Pounds : CA : 8,564 17,661 11,424 MI : 105,340 211,682 143,579 N ENG : 4,139 7,804 3,961 NY : 118,146 192,402 141,120 OH : 2,460 6,370 3,070 OR : 15,409 24,704 18,965 PA : 133,434 151,872 123,354 VA : 64,446 81,729 66,172 WA : 1,869,420 2,341,542 1,744,344 WV : 32,992 39,753 30,272 : Other States : 28,068 42,547 27,762 : US : 2,382,418 3,118,066 2,314,023 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reliability of Cold Storage Estimates Survey Procedures: Questionnaires are mailed about the 24th of each month to all operators on the list of approximately 1,400 public and private cold storage warehouses. 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.
