Estimates refer to December 1, 1994 Rough rice stocks in all positions on December 1, 1994, totaled 141 million hundredweight (cwt), 29 percent higher than the comparable total on December 1, 1993. Stocks held on farms totaled 41.2 million cwt and off-farm stocks totaled 99.6 million cwt. Long grain varieties accounted for 62 percent of the total rough stocks, medium grain 37 percent, and short grain varieties 1 percent. Milled rice stocks on December 1 totaled 4.85 million cwt, 1 percent below the total of a year earlier. Milled rice stocks were comprised of 3.66 million cwt of whole kernel rice and 1.19 million cwt of second heads, screenings, and brewers rice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For information call Dan Kerestes at (202) 720-9526.

HDR2012000110090112950830Reliability Reliability of December 1, 1994, Rice Stocks Estimates Survey Procedures: The rice stocks estimates in this report are based on surveys conducted during the first 2 weeks of December. Separate surveys were conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm estimates. The on-farm stocks survey is a probability survey based on a sampling procedure that ensures that all operations storing rice in the U.S. have a chance to be selected. Data can then be statistically adjusted to provide an estimate of rice on all farms. The off-farm stocks estimate is based on an enumeration of all known commercial rice storage facilities. An effort is made to obtain reports from all facilities. Estimates are made for missing facilities to assure complete coverage. 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 rice stocks, 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, exports, and millings are reviewed to make sure beginning stocks, production and 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 in the report following the initial publication and again in the December 1 "Rice Stocks" report published in January each year. Revisions can be made when late reports are received, errors are detected in reporting and calculating, and when production estimates are revised. Estimates will also be reviewed after data for the 5-year Census of Agriculture, conducted by the Department of Commerce, are available. No revisions will be made after that date. Reliability: Reliability of the on-farm and off-farm rice stocks estimates 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. Survey estimates 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 or 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. The next "Rice Stocks" report will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET on March 31, 1995.
