Co St 1 (2-09) Cold Storage National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA Washington, D.C. Released February 20, 2009, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, U.S. Department of Agriculture. For information on "Cold Storage" call David Colwell at (202) 720-8784, office hours 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Highlights Frozen food stocks in refrigerated warehouses on January 31, 2009 were greater than year earlier levels for turkey, cheese, pork and beef. Butter stocks were up 49 percent from last month but down 5 percent from a year ago. Total red meat supplies in freezers were down slightly from the previous month but up 3 percent from last year. Frozen pork supplies were up 7 percent from the previous month and up 4 percent from last year. Stocks of pork bellies were up 31 percent from last month but down 4 percent from last year. Total frozen poultry supplies on January 31, 2009 were down 2 percent from the previous month but up 4 percent from a year ago. Total stocks of chicken were down 10 percent from the previous month and down 11 percent from last year. Total pounds of turkey in freezers were up 15 percent from last month and up 39 percent from January 31, 2008. Special Note Data users of beef, pork, pecans, and duck need to be aware of the following: The 2008 revisions of boneless beef, total beef, pork hams, and total pork are the result of increased coverage of cold storage facilities as well as updated plant information. The 2008 revisions of shelled and in-shell pecans are the result of corrected data from cold storage facilities. Please refer to the Cold Storage 2008 Summary, released February 20, 2009, for all 2008 cold storage commodity estimates. Beginning with January 31, 2009 estimates, an increase in duck inventory is the result of increased coverage of cold storage facilities. Updated historic reported duck data for 2008 are unavailable. Year to year relationships for duck and the total poultry category are impacted by this change. This page is intentionally blank.

Apples in Cold Storage: By State and United States, January 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : All Warehouses :----------------------------------------------------------- State : Jan 31, : Dec 31, : Jan 31, : 2008 : 2009 : 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : 1,000 Pounds : CA : 30,603 63,480 36,941 MI : 171,502 269,035 206,779 N ENG : 17,125 28,951 23,192 NY : 422,772 462,882 395,766 OH : 2,125 12,520 7,715 OR : 23,442 30,535 26,650 PA : 181,692 170,205 143,976 VA : 104,417 164,694 126,984 WA : 2,842,602 3,928,134 3,348,030 WV : 42,102 43,996 34,531 : Other States : 35,114 73,613 54,704 : US : 3,873,496 5,248,045 4,405,268 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reliability of Cold Storage Estimates Survey Procedures: Questionnaires are mailed about the 24th of each month to all operators on the list of approximately 1,400 public and private cold storage warehouses. In addition, apple data are obtained from special surveys and other sources (State Departments of Agriculture, U.S. Apple Association, etc.). All survey data represent stocks as of the end of the month. Data are collected from warehouses artificially cooled to a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or lower, and whose food products are normally stored for 30 days or more. All food items in these facilities are reported regardless of the number of days stored at the time of the report. Also included are specialized storage facilities meeting the 30 day requirement, such as fruit houses, dairy manufacturing plants, frozen fruit, fruit juice, vegetable processors, and poultry and meat packing plants. Excluded are stocks in space maintained by wholesalers, jobbers, distributors, chain stores, locker plants containing individual lockers, meat packer branch houses, and frozen food processors whose entire inventories are turned over more than once a month. Estimating Procedures: Data for reporting firms are added to estimates for non-reporting firms to obtain regional and National totals. Estimates for non-reporting firms are obtained by multiplying the previous month's figure by a percent change from the previous month. The percent change is calculated for each item from totals of the current and previous month summed from firms that reported both months. Revision Policy: Data are revised the following month based on late reports or corrected data. Final figures are published in the annual summary in February of the following year. Reliability: Reports are received from 900 firms each month which represent about 70 percent of the total capacity. Firms that are not on the list or firms who have never reported are not represented in the data. Monthly data can vary due to different firms reporting month to month. Survey data are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in processing the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized by carefully reviewing all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
