Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: These estimates are based on inventory and price estimates as published in NASS milk production and agricultural prices reports, as well as information obtained from federal market milk orders and other sources. Readers are referred to the Survey Procedures section in NASS' monthly Milk Production and monthly Agricultural Prices publications. Estimation Procedures: Estimation procedures for prices and milk production estimates are defined in the Estimation Procedures section of the reports referenced above. Revision Policy: Revisions to previous estimates are made to improve current estimates. Previous year estimates of milk production are subject to revision when the current year estimates are made. Estimates are also reviewed after data from the Department of Agriculture five-year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions are made after that date.
