HDR1012000160030216951500Milk Production HDR2012000160030216951500Milk Production Narrative Released February 16, 1995, by the Agricultural Statistics Board. January Milk Production Up 3 Percent Milk production in the 22 major States during January totaled 11.2 billion pounds, 3 percent above production in these same States in January 1994. Production per cow in the 22 major States averaged 1,388 pounds for January, 45 pounds above January 1994. The number of cows on farms in the 22 major States was 8.09 million head, unchanged from January 1994 but down slightly from December 1994. During the October-December period, the 22 major States produced 32.7 billion pounds of milk, 86.2 percent of the U.S. production. If the remaining 28 States not surveyed monthly followed the same pattern as the 22 States, the U.S. production would be 13.0 billion pounds for January 1995. * * * * * * * Notice Monthly estimates will be published for New Mexico beginning with this issue. To facilitate year to year comparisons, monthly estimates for both 1994 and 1995 will include New Mexico, and a 22-State total is presented with monthly tables.

HDR2012000160030216951500Reliability Survey Procedures: Primary data used to determine these estimates were obtained from a sample of producers. Individual States maintain a list of all known milk producers and information on the size of their herd. States use all known sources of producers to ensure that their lists are as complete as possible. About 20,000 producers are sampled in January and data are collected from about 10,000 respondents. There are about 7,300 respondents in each of the remaining quarters. Generally, all large producers and a sample of small producers are included in the survey. Questionnaires are mailed to producers near the end of the month to obtain data for the first day of the month. Additional reports are obtained by telephone, as needed, to supplement the mail response. Estimation Procedures: State offices prepare these estimates using survey indications, historic trends, and any available administrative data. Individual State estimates are reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board for reasonableness. Revision Policy: Milk production, rate per cow, and number of cows are subject to revision the following month for monthly States or the following quarter for the quarterly States. Normally, Federal Market Order sales are the main basis for revisions. However, data for all orders are not available in time for this revision. Estimates are again subject to revisions in February each year based on additional administrative data. In the event that additional changes are necessary, a third revision is possible in February the following year. Estimates are again reviewed after data from the five-year Census of Agriculture, conducted by the Department of Commerce, are available. No revisions are made after that date. Reliability: Since all operations with dairy animals are not included in the sample, survey estimates are subject to sampling variability. Survey results are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions, duplications, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. The effects of these errors cannot be measured directly. They are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and through a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness. To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the estimates in this report, the "Root Mean Square Error" is shown for selected items in the table below. The "Root Mean Square Error" is a statistical measure based on past performance and is computed using the differences between first and final estimates. The "Root Mean Square Error" for milk cow inventory estimates over the past 10 quarters is 0.6 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the final October-December estimate will not be above or below the current estimate of 9.52 million head by more than 0.6 percent, or about 57,000 head. Chances are 9 out of 10 that the difference will not exceed 1.0 percent, or about 95,000 head (the 90 percent confidence level).
