The 2008 Total Farm Expenditures rose 8.3 percent compared to the 2007 rise of 19.2 percent over 2006. The 2007 revised estimate is up from the preliminary estimate by $23.5 billion due to significant summary adjustments based on 2007 Census farm numbers. The largest percentage contributors to the year over year increase were Other Farm Machinery, up 34.1 percent; Tractors & Self Propelled Machinery, up 32.6 percent; Fertilizer, Lime, and Soil Conditioners, up 27.1 percent; Seeds & Plants, up 19.8 percent; Fuels, up 18.5 percent; and Rent, up 13.7 percent. Expense items showing decreases from the previous year included Interest and Livestock & Poultry. Rising fertilizer prices and weather were two large factors affecting farm production expenditures, during the year. Fertilizer, up 27.1 percent over previous year, was the fastest expanding non-capital expense. The increased cost of crude oil continued to drive up the cost of several production inputs in 2008. This directly translated into rising fuel cost, and influenced fertilizer products, chemicals, and transportation costs. Persistent snow and rain in the Midwest in the spring set the stage for historic flooding in Iowa in June. This contrasted with driest March - May in California in 114 years. The top three average expenditures per farm with the largest dollar increase were: Feed up $2,325, or 12.2 percent; Fertilizer, Lime, and Soil Conditioners up $2,208, or 27.4 percent; Tractors and Self Propelled Machinery up $1,286, or 32.8 percent; and Rent up $1252, up 14 percent. All other per farm average increases were less than $1,200 dollars per farm. Total Fuels Expense, at $16.0 billion dollars, was up 18.5 percent in 2008. Diesel, the largest sub-component, was $9.86 billion accounting for 61.6 percent of the Fuels Expense. Gasoline was $3.01 billion, up 7.9 percent. LP Gas was $2.03 billion, up 23.0 percent. Other Fuels was $1.10 billion, up 27.9 percent. The four largest expenditures at the U.S. level totaled $143 billion and accounted for 46.5 percent of Total Farm Production Expenditures in 2008. They were Feed, 15.3 percent; Farm Services, 12.4 percent; Labor, 9.7 percent; and Livestock & Poultry, 9.2 percent. In 2008, the average per farm U.S. Total Farm Expenditure was $140,075 compared with $129,062, an increase of 8.5 percent over 2007. On average, U.S. farm operations spent: $21,398 on Feed, $17,337 on Farm Services, $13,550 on Labor, $12,912 on Livestock and Poultry Purchases, $10,265 on Fertilizer, Lime, and Soil Conditioners, and $10,220 on Rent. Revised estimates for 2007 indicate U.S. farms spent an average of: $19,073 on Feed, $16,752 on Farm Services, $15,022 on Livestock and Poultry Purchases, $13,019 on Labor, and $8,968 on Rent. Average 2008 Total Expenditures for the largest economic class of farms ($5 million and Over) were $11.4 million, 6.4 times larger than the next largest economic class with farms $1,000,000 - $4,999,999 averaging $1.8 million followed by the $500,000 - $999,999 economic class of farms averaging $0.7 million. The average Total Expenditure for a Crop farm was $175,141 compared with $113,390 per Livestock farm. -- continued Rise of U.S. Farm Production Expenditures Slows in 2008 (continued) Total Expenditures by Farm Production Expenditure Region13 were up for all five regions in 2008. The Midwest had the highest increase at 13 percent, followed by the West up 11 percent. The Midwest region contributed the most to U.S. Total Farm Production Expenditures with expenses of $91.2 billion or 30 percent, up from $80.7 billion in 2007. The other regions ranked by Total Expenditures are: Plains at $74.2 billion (24 percent); West at $68.7 billion (22 percent); Atlantic at $39.0 billion (13 percent); and South at $34.0 billion (11 percent).2 The 2008 Agricultural Resource and Management Survey - Phase III (ARMS III) sample size was 36,388 with 21,816 usable reports, equaling a response rate of 60 percent. The sample size was increased in 2003 and estimates for the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States13 (Estimate States) have been published annually since 2004. The sum of Total Expenditures for Estimate States was $198.4 billion in 2008 (65 percent of the U.S. total) and $182.8 billion in 2007 (64 percent). California contributed most to the 2008 U.S. Total Farm Expenditures, with expenses of $32.3 billion, or 11 percent of the U.S. total expenditures. California expenditures were up 15 percent from the revised estimate of $28.0 billion in 2007. Texas, the next leading state, contributed 7 percent to the 2008 U.S. Total Farm Expenditures. Other states with more than $10 billion in Total Expenditures were: Iowa with $22.4 billion (2007 - $19.4 billion), Nebraska with $16.6 billion (2007 - $15.9 billion), Illinois with $14.8 billion (2007 - $12.4 billion), Minnesota with $14.1 billion (2007 - 12.9 billion), and Kansas with $13.2 billion (2007 - $14.2 billion). Kansas and Texas were the only Estimate States to show a decline. The U.S. Economic Sales Class contributing most to the 2008 U.S. Farm Production Expenditures was the $1,000,000 and over class, with expenses of $140.7 billion, 46 percent of the U.S. total. Expenditures in the $1,000,000 and over class were up 9 percent from the 2007 level of $128.8 billion. It was followed by the $500,000 - $999,999 class with $51.8 billion (2007 - $46.1 billion) and the $250,000 - $499,999 class with $37.4 billion (2007 - $34.3 billion). In 2008, Crop Farms expenditures increased to $165.9 billion and Livestock Farms expenditures increased to $141.1 billion. The largest expenditures for Crop Farms were Farm Services at $21.9 billion and Labor at $20.4 billion, accounting for 25 percent of their total expenses. Combined crop inputs (chemicals, fertilizer, and seed) were $43.2 billion, accounting for 26 percent of Crop Farms total expenses. The largest expenditures for Livestock Farms were Feed at $43.3 billion, accounting for 31 percent of total expenses, followed by Livestock and Poultry Purchases, at $25.1 billion accounting for 18 percent of total expenses. Together they accounted for 48 percent of Livestock Farms total expenses.

Program History, Procedures, Comparability, and Reliability Program History: The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has conducted periodic surveys of farm production expenditures since 1956, annually since 1971. In 1973, Congress required USDA to provide Cost of Production estimates on an annual basis for wheat, feed grains, cotton, and dairy. Since then, other commodities were added to the Cost of Production program. The Farm Production Expenditure Survey and the Cost of Production Survey were combined and called the Farm Costs and Returns Survey (FCRS) beginning in 1985. The Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) replaced the former Cropping Practices Survey (CPS) and the FCRS in 1996 improving the efficiency of data collection. The initiative to combine these surveys came from a growing need for more data to perform detailed examination of the relationship between various production practices (such as chemical and tillage use) and farm financial conditions. NASS initiated an estimation program in calendar year 1993 for Farm Production Expenditures. Farm Production Expenditure publications, for prior years, include only survey indications for expenditures at the U.S., regional, size and type of farm levels. Currently, estimates are published for major groupings of farm production expenses for the U.S., five Farm Production Regions, eight U.S. Economic Sales Classes, two farm types, and the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States. In 1993, due to increased demand for quality production input data, NASS and Economic Research Service (ERS) began jointly setting estimates for production input costs. This change in procedure was facilitated by the adoption of new summary adjustments for non-response and farm coverage. The Agricultural Statistics Board establishes estimates for major expenditure items for the current year and considers revisions for the previous year's preliminary data. Formal release of expense data occurs before but in coordination with release of related ERS statistics such as net farm income. One of the primary uses of farm production expenditure data is for weighting of Prices Paid Indexes. In early 1995, NASS completed a revision of the indexes. To facilitate this process, changes were made in component items estimated in this publication. The changes included the following: grazing fees were moved from the Farm Services category to Rent, Oils and Lubricants were moved from Fuels to Farm Supplies and Repairs, repairs and maintenance expenditures were moved from Other Farm Machinery to Farm Supplies and Repairs, and Building and Fencing materials were combined with Farm and Land Improvements to make the Farm Improvements and Construction category. Estimates for these levels were revised back to 1990, at the U.S. level, to provide a more useful series for data users. The uses of ARMS III data (this phase collects financial and demographic data) have expanded significantly over the past several years. Currently, data collected allows ERS to develop many estimates including farm income, cost of production for selected commodities, farm business balance sheets, farm productivity indicators, and analysis of farm financial and household characteristics. In addition, Congress, USDA, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), researchers, and agribusinesses utilize data to develop forecasts, conduct research projects, and establish and review farm policy. As the agricultural community becomes increasingly more complex and integrated the demand for quality farm expenditure and income data continues to increase. In 2002 to be consistent with other NASS economic publications the definitions, the U.S. Economic Sales Classes were changed by adding a larger category, and 2001 expenditure estimates were revised to provide a historical reference. The new U.S. Economic Classes were: Less than $10,000, $10,000- $49,999, $50,000-$99,999, $100,000-$249,999, $250,000-$499,999, $500,000- $999,999, and $1,000,000 and Over. In 2003, Congress appropriated nearly $7 million for the restoration and expansion of the ARMS program. The subsequent changes included: increased sample size, recombining of expenditure categories, fuel sub-component estimates, and a calibrated summary. ERS funding was used to support ARMS data collection. Sample sizes were increased in the 15 States with the highest cash receipts. The additional samples improved data quality, and allowed for the publication of state level estimates by NASS the following year. The NASS funding restored the ARMS sample to historical levels, as well as the restoration of the Field Crops Chemical Use Program and ARMS II - Production Practices Report. The items included in the Farm Improvement and Construction Expenditure were changed in 2003 to include expenses for the operator's dwelling (if the dwelling is owned by the operation). Fuels expense sub-components were published for the first time in 2003. In 2004, the first expenditure estimates were published, for the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States, and the farm production regions were reduced from 10 to five regions. This change was made to allow NASS to publish state level expenditure estimates without disclosing data for unpublished states. The map, on page 69, shows the new distribution of regions and states. In 2005, the survey edit was changed so that Landlord Real Estate Taxes would be carefully examined by editors. Research indicated this change was needed to improve data quality in the area of taxes. As a result, about 3,300 more Landlord Real Estate Tax questionnaire cells were imputed. The effect of the change accounts for only a portion of the increase between 2004 and 2005 in the Taxes estimate. The fuel sub-components sample was increased by adding the sub-component questions to two more questionnaire versions (versions four and five) in 2005 and all questionnaires in 2006. During 2005 and 2006, an emphasis was placed on cattle farms where not all cattle are owned by the operation. These operations were identified and correctly recorded for production contracts and contractor livestock purchase expenditures. This edit work resulted in a break in the data series (about 1 percent of total expenditures). Research indicates that after the 1997 Agricultural Census, and the 1999 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey, and an emphasis from ERS on contracts in general in the mid to late 1990's, a similar change in the data series occurred. Also, in 2006, Miscellaneous Capital Expenses was added as a separate line- item to the publication. Summary inconsistencies with version five (Core) questionnaires dictated that Miscellaneous Expense be summarized with General Business Expense and rolled up into the Farms Services line-item. In 2007, a change was made to divide the largest economic class "$1,000,000 & Over" into two classes for the purpose of calibration. "$1,000,000 & Over" became "$1,000,000-$4,999,999" and "$5,000,000 & Over". Calibrated indications were rerun for 2006 using these new classes as targets. With the addition of Class 8 the current U.S. Economic Classes are: Less than $10,000, $10,000-$49,999, $50,000-$99,999, $100,000-$249,999, $250,000-$499,999, $500,000-$999,999, $1,000,000-$4,999,999, and $5,000,000 & Over. In 2008, all eight economic classes will be published for Total Production Expenses. This year also included a significant recalibration of the 2007 data and substantial revisions to the 2007 estimates because of new farm numbers that were released in the 2007 Ag Census. Survey Procedures: A sample of 36,388 farms and ranches was contacted January through April of 2009 in all states except Alaska and Hawaii. ARMS III covers the population of farms in the 48 contiguous states that meet the official USDA definition (all establishments which sold or would normally have sold at least $1,000 of agricultural products during the previous year). These operations include not only traditional agricultural farms such as grain farms and ranching operations, but also specialty farms such as orchards, nurseries, and aquaculture. ARMS III is a multi-frame survey which utilizes a list frame and an area frame design. The list frame typically represents the larger more specialized operations contributing the greater portion of the data expansions. The area frame provides coverage for the operations that are not available for sampling from the list. Since all of the operators on the list frame are also part of the area frame, rigorous procedures are followed to assure that an operation is not double counted. These multiple frame expansions are unbiased and provide more precise expansions than could be obtained by using a single frame approach. Specialized training occurred, on the national and state levels, prior to the ARMS data collection period to ensure consistent and proper execution of survey procedures in farm determination, data collection, and editing of detailed expense, income data, and demographic data. Data were edited using both hand and machine edit procedures. Questionnaires were reviewed for consistency, data relationships, and completeness. Past analysis has shown approximately half of all changes made by editors were for correcting data recorded in the wrong cell. In cases where respondents were unable or unwilling to report data for any item on the questionnaire, the field enumerators or survey statisticians can impute a value. For income related, debt/asset data, and a few expense items an algorithm imputed for any missing values based on similar size and type of operations after all records have cleared the edit. For other expense items where no data were reported, cells were edited if appropriate by the survey statistician to a positive value based on other reported values from similar operations. In 2004, analysis tool (ACER) improvements made it possible to set the 1424 estimates now required for this publication. In 2005, Executive Summaries were sent to all states electronically. This tool provides more administrative data, charting, and sample coverage data to the Field Office analysts as they completed their review of the summary. Summary Calibration: Since 1992, the Direct Expansion (DE) summary has been adjusted for under coverage and total number of farms. In 2003, a calibrated summary was developed and this new methodology uses an increased number of target commodities. Those targets currently include Corn for grain acres, Wheat for grain acres, Soybean acres, Cotton acres, Vegetable acres, Fruit acres, Hay acres, Peanut acres, Rice acres, Sugarcane/Sugar beet acres, Tobacco acres, Nursery/Floriculture (Open Area and Area Under Cover), Cattle inventory, Cattle on Feed inventory, Hog and Pig inventory, Milk production, Eggs produced, Broiler inventory, Turkey inventory, Number of Farms by 8 economic classes, Number of Farms by non-estimate states, and Total Number of Farms. The sources for the targets are official USDA estimates. Additional targets may be added to control for crops and COP (Cost of Production) versions. Revisions of the 2007 Estimates: Farm Production Expenditure estimates are subject to revision one year after their preliminary release. Revisions are made only when additional information becomes available that changes the summarization of survey results. Survey summary methodologies for production estimates rely on farm number estimates by sales class and other official estimates of commodity production. The sample weights are calibrated to these measures to ensure that farms of all sizes are properly represented in the survey results and therefore their economic activity is fully representative of the farm population. The 2007 Census of Agriculture showed a significant increase in the number of farms, and reversed the downward trend that was shown in the annual estimates of Farm Numbers since the 2002 Census of Agriculture. Total farm numbers reported in the 2007 Census increased by about 4 percent, which included a growing number of small farms, more large farms, and fewer mid-size operations. The 2007 Census also revealed an increasingly diverse agricultural sector when such characteristics as demographics of operators, multiple owners and operators, participation in organic, value-added and specialty production activities, participation in on-farm energy generation, or use of high speed Internet access are considered. NASS revised its 2007 annual farm number estimates based on the 2007 Census of Agriculture (Farms, Land in Farms, and Livestock Operations - 2008 Summary- 02/2009). The estimated number of farms in the U.S. in 2007 was revised from 2,075,510 to 2,204,950. The largest revisions occurred in the "$1,000-$9,999" and the "$500,000 & Over" economic classes. These revised farm number estimates were used to summarize data from the 2007 Agricultural Resource Management Survey. The impact of the increase in the number of farms on the farm production expenses by category is shown in the table below. The four largest changes occurred for Livestock and Poultry ($6.3 billion), Feed ($3.8 billion), Labor ($2.6 billion), and Farm Services ($2.5 billion). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : 2007 : 2007 : -----------------------------------:----------------------------------------------------- : Preliminary : Final : : Estimate : Estimate : Difference Expense Items :----------------------------------------------------- : Million : Million : Million : Dollars : Dollars : Dollars ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : : : Total Farm Production Expenditures : 260,010 : 283,520 : 23,510 Livestock and Poultry : 26,700 : 33,000 : 6,300 Feed : 38,100 : 41,900 : 3,800 Farm Services : 34,300 : 36,800 : 2,500 Rent : 18,600 : 19,700 : 1,100 Ag Chemicals & Sprays : 10,000 : 10,500 : 500 Fertilizer : 16,700 : 17,700 : 1,000 Interest : 11,500 : 12,100 : 600 Taxes : 9,800 : 10,300 : 500 Labor : 26,000 : 28,600 : 2,600 Fuels : 12,700 : 13,500 : 800 Farm Supplies & Repairs : 14,300 : 15,100 : 800 Farm Improvements & Construction : 13,100 : 14,100 : 1,000 Tractors & Self-Propelled : 8,100 : 8,600 : 500 Other Farm Machinery : 4,000 : 4,400 : 400 Seeds & Plants : 11,900 : 12,600 : 700 Trucks & Autos : 4,000 : 4,400 : 400 Other Mis. Expenses : 210 : 220 : 10 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are several factors that help explain this outcome. First, NASS made methodological improvements in Census procedures to capture and identify farms and made extraordinary efforts to ensure completeness of the list of farms. Second, the annual area frame survey NASS conducts is believed to have underestimated the number of farms between census years. A research initiative has been launched to address these methodological issues. Third, large farms are inherently more complex and present unique challenges for voluntary annual surveys. As production becomes more concentrated on large, multi-state corporate entities it becomes more difficult to administer surveys to these operations. Also, these operations become more sensitive to multiple survey contacts and are often less enthusiastic about survey participation. Changes in the composition of farms from the perspective of economic size and type of production specialty hold implications not only for the type of commodities produced but for inputs that are used, and how they are distributed among farms. A review of published Census tables for 2002 and 2007 helps put the increase in large and small farm operations into perspective. Farms with gross sales less than $2,500 increased in number by about 74,000 between 2002 and 2007. Farms of this size averaged $484 in sales in 2007, down from $587 in 2002. Meanwhile, farm expenses reported for these small farm businesses rose from around $7,900 in 2002 to about $9,400 in 2007. At the upper end of the size spectrum, farms with sales over $1,000,000 increased in number by about 27,000, or 94 percent. Farms with sales between $500,000 and $999,999 increased in number by almost 19,000. Farms with sales over $1,000,000 averaged $3.2 million in sales in 2007, down from $3.3 million in 2002. Production expenses for the same group, on average were also less in 2007 at $2.4 million, down from $2.6 million in 2002. While per farm amounts are lower between 2002 and 2007 for farms with sales over $1,000,000 the near doubling of the number of these farms resulted in a substantially larger share of sales and expenses being accounted for by this group of farms in 2007. Farms with over $1,000,000 in sales totaled 59 percent of sales in 2007, up from 47 percent in 2002, revealing that 2.5 percent of farms accounted for nearly three-fifths of total farm sales. Farms with $1,000,000 or more in sales also accounted for 56 percent of expenses, up from 44 percent in 2002. Changes in large farms, with sales over $1,000,000 by type of farm add perspective to the amount and concentration of sales and production expenses. The substantial increase in large farm numbers for livestock and oilseed/grain operations is consistent with the concentration of feed, livestock purchases, labor, chemicals and fertilizers on a smaller number of farms in 2007 than in 2002. Revisions to Estimates Before 2007: NASS did not make revisions to farm numbers for the years previous to 2007 as no new information was available. Consequently, published farm production expenditures, for the years prior, will not be revised. For further information on USDA farm expenditures and income, please visit http://www.nass.usda.gov/QuickStats/indexbysubject.jsp?Pass_group=Economics or http://www.ers.usda.gov/Briefing/FarmIncome/2008incomeaccounts.htm. Data Comparability: This publication includes estimates for 2007 and 2008 Farm Production Expenditures for the U.S., five Farm Production Expenditure Regions, eight Economic Sales Classes, two Farm Types, four Fuel Subcomponents, and the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States. Historic Total Expenditures and expense items are provided from 2004 forward to provide data users a comparable data series. Some of the expenditure estimates published in this report will differ from production expense estimates published in the ERS "Farm Business Economics Report". As the agency responsible for estimates of farm income, ERS treats agriculture as a sector in the U.S. economy while NASS is interested in annual production expenditures as a cash outlay to farming operations. In most cases, items that would be considered cash farm operating expenditures are estimated the same way by both NASS and ERS. This would include production inputs such as Feed, Seed, Fertilizer, Chemicals, Taxes, Labor, Fuels, and Farm Supplies and Repairs. A major difference in accounting between NASS and ERS occurs with the handling of capital expenditures. NASS considers capital expenditures such as purchases of vehicles and construction of buildings as a cash outlay for the farming operation during the production year. ERS treats these expenditures as capital consumption (depreciation) to the farm sector. Additionally, a difference in methodology exists for Livestock and Poultry Expenditures. NASS accounts for all livestock and poultry sales (which includes inter farm transfers) and livestock leasing in this expense. ERS only accounts for final sales and intra farm sales of meat animals across state lines to match cash receipts methodology. ERS also calculates poultry expenses separately using price and quantity factors, and puts miscellaneous livestock and livestock leasing in Miscellaneous Expenses. Data Reliability: Two types of errors, non-sampling and sampling, are possible in estimates based on a sample survey. Both types affect the "precision" of the estimates. Data from sample surveys are influenced by non- sampling errors which are not always measurable or known. Non-sampling errors may be introduced by enumerators, respondents, questionnaire design, and field office procedures. This might occur for example, when respondents record the wrong unit for a marketing contract (cotton bushels not cotton bales). Efforts are made to minimize these errors and maintain survey accuracy through proper training of all individuals involved with the survey, detailed review and verification of data, and analysis of data for comparability and consistency. Sampling error occurs because a complete census is not taken. The sampling error measures the variation in estimates from the average of all possible samples. An estimate of 100 with a sampling error of one would mean that chances are 19 out of 20 that the estimates from all possible samples averaged together would be between 98 and 102, which is the survey estimate plus or minus two times the sampling error. Relative sampling error is expressed as a percent of the estimate. Sampling errors are published for selected items and are expressed as a percent of the estimate. The percentages are referred to as Coefficients of Variation (CV). The CVs for the last four years are set forth in the table on the following page.
