Apples in Cold Storage: By State and United States, February 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : All Warehouses :----------------------------------------------------------- State : Feb 28, : Jan 31, : Feb 28, : 2008 : 2009 : 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : 1,000 Pounds : CA : 16,770 36,941 34,318 MI : 122,105 206,779 149,069 N ENG : 13,150 23,192 15,776 NY : 386,610 395,766 344,442 OH : 1,140 7,715 5,610 OR : 20,998 26,650 22,538 PA : 138,390 143,976 118,377 VA : 87,962 126,984 95,437 WA : 2,380,308 3,348,030 2,803,500 WV : 36,593 34,531 25,655 : Other States : 25,064 54,704 41,261 : US : 3,229,090 4,405,268 3,655,983 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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, 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.
