Reliability of June 1, 1999 Grain Stocks Estimates Survey Procedures: The grain stocks estimates in this report are based on surveys conducted during the first 2 weeks of June. Separate surveys were conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm estimates. The on-farm stocks survey is a probability survey that included about 70,000 operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the U.S. have a chance to be selected. These producers were asked to provide the total quantities of grain stored on their operations as of June 1, 1999. This included all whole grains and oilseeds stored whether for feed, seed, or sale as well as any stored under a Government program. The off-farm stocks survey is an enumeration of all known commercial grain storage facilities. This includes approximately 10,300 facilities with about 8.01 billion bushels of storage capacity. An effort is made to obtain a report from all facilities. Reports of stock holdings are normally received from operations covering about 90 percent of the capacity. Estimates are made for missing facilities to make the survey complete. Estimation Procedures: On-farm and off-farm survey data are reviewed at the State and national levels for reasonableness, consistency with historical estimates, and current crop size. After estimates are made for on-farm and off-farm, the total of these two are combined and evaluated using the balance sheet approach. This method utilizes other sources of data to check the reasonableness of the stocks estimates. Estimates of production, imports, exports, crushings, milling, and all other recorded uses of grain and oilseeds are reviewed to make sure beginning stocks, production, utilization, and ending stocks are within reasonable balance and present the best possible estimate of stocks. Revision Policy: On-farm and off-farm stocks are subject to revision the quarter following initial publication and again in the following December 1 "Grain Stocks" report published in January each year. Revisions can be made when late reports are received, errors are detected in reporting and calculating, and production estimates are revised. Revisions for 1993-1998 have been published in "SB 948, Stocks of Grains, Oilseeds, and Hay, Final Estimates 1993-1998". This report was released on December 18, 1998. No revisions to these years will be made after that date. Reliability: Reliability of the on-farm and off-farm stocks must be treated separately because the survey design for the two surveys are drastically different. The on-farm stocks estimates are subject to sampling variability because all operations holding on-farm stocks are not included in the sample. This variability, as measured by the relative standard error at the U.S. level, is approximately 2.1 percent for corn, 2.8 percent for soybeans, and 3.0 percent for all wheat. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates for stocks will be within plus or minus 4.2 percent for corn, 5.6 percent for soybeans, and 6.0 percent for all wheat of the value that could be developed by averaging the estimates produced from all possible samples selected from the same population and surveyed using the same procedures. The relative standard errors for sorghum, barley, and oats are 6.1, 6.3, and 4.7 percent, respectively. Sampling errors cannot be applied directly to the on-farm stocks published in this report to determine confidence intervals since the Agricultural Statistics Board estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source. Survey indications are also subject to non sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. Off-farm, as well as on-farm stocks, are subject to these types of errors. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
