HDR2012000120030719951500Reliability Estimating Procedures and Reliability Program Changes: The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) initiated an estimation program in calendar year 1993 for farm production expenditures. Prior year's Farm Production Expenditure publications included only survey indications for expenditures at the U.S. level and other geographic, size, and type of farm levels. Estimates are now published based on survey indications and other check data for major groupings of farm production expenses for the U.S., 10 Farm Production Regions, 5 U.S. Economic Sales Classes, and U.S. Crop and Livestock Farms. Previous year's data are subject to revision as additional indications and check data are available. Research completed by NASS in 1992 identified a downward bias in the data adjustment procedures for survey nonresponse. Also, further analysis of the Farm Costs and Returns Survey (FCRS) data indicated that the survey procedures were not providing total coverage of the farm population, especially smaller farms with less than $20,000 in annual gross sales. After evaluating data from the nonresponse research and materials related to farm coverage, the decision was made to incorporate both a new nonresponse adjustment and an undercoverage adjustment. The new nonresponse adjustments assume that nonrespondents, namely refusals and inaccessibles, represent actual farms with positive data and should be adjusted for as such. Field interviewers verify that refusals and inaccessibles have positive farm data. The undercoverage adjustment involves adjusting the FCRS expanded number of farms to the official Board number of farms published in the Farms Numbers and Land in Farms release. The coverage adjustment expands number of farms by sales class in each of the 10 economic production regions. The new method of adjusting for nonresponse tends to increase data expansions for major expenditure items by an additional 5 to 8 percent compared with the previous nonresponse adjustment. One of the primary uses of farm production expenditure data is for weighting in the construction of prices paid indexes. In early 1995, NASS completed a revision of the indexes which included changes in the structure of components estimated and subsequently, the relative weights used in the construction of the indexes. Changes were made in as effort to simplify updating of component items and also to establish more appropriate weights for the series. In a combined effort to facilitate this process, changes were made in component items estimated in this publication. The changes made include: grazing fees were moved from the Farm Services category to Rent; oils and lubricants were moved from Fuels to Farm Supplies and Repairs; repairs and maintenance expenditures were moved from Other Farm Machinery to Farm Supplies and Repairs; the category Building and Fencing along with Farm and Land Improvements were combined into one category called Farm Improvements and Construction. Estimates for these levels were revised back to 1990 at the U.S. level to provide a more useful series for data users. Survey Procedures: The farm production expenditure data contained in this publication are the result of a sample survey of over 13,400 farms and ranches contacted in February through April 1995 in all States except Alaska and Hawaii. The Farm Costs and Returns Survey covers the population of farms in the 48 contiguous States defined as "all establishments which sold or would normally have sold at least $1,000 of agricultural products during the previous year". These establishments are not only traditional agricultural operations such as grain farms and dairy operations, but also specialty farms such as orchards, nurseries, and those producing fish in captivity. The Farm Costs and Returns Survey is a multiple frame survey which utilizes a list frame and a complementary area frame. The list frame typically represents the larger, more specialized operations contributing the greater portion of the data expansions. The area frame provides coverage for the smaller operations that are not available for sampling from the list. Since all of the operators on the list frame are also part of the area frame, rigorous procedures are followed to be certain that an operation is only included in the data expansions once. These multiple frame expansions are unbiased and provide more precise expansions than could be obtained by using the area frame alone. Special training occurs prior to the Farm Costs and Returns Survey period to insure consistent and proper execution of survey procedures in farm determination, data collection, and editing of detailed expense and income data. Field and office staff edit data using hand and machine edit procedures. Questionnaires are reviewed for consistency, data relationships, and completeness. Past analysis has shown approximately half of the edits simply correct for data misplacement errors. In cases where respondents are unable or unwilling to report data for any item on the questionnaire, the field enumerators or survey statisticians can impute a value. For income, related debt/asset data, and a few expense items statisticians are allowed to enter a (-1) to indicate a missing value and an algorithm within the edit will compute and input the missing value. The computer generated imputation has not been implemented for all expenditure data because NASS analysis has shown that there are significantly fewer missing data cells on expenses than on income. Missing values for expense items, where no data are reported, are edited to a positive value based on other reported values from similar operations by the survey statistician. Data Comparability: This publication includes estimates for 1993 and 1994 farm production expenditures for the U.S., 10 Farm Production Expenditure Regions, 5 Economic Sales Classes, and Crop and Livestock Farms. Total expenditures and expenses for major input items at the U.S. level are provided back through 1990 to provide data users a comparable data series. Some of the expenditure estimates published in this report will differ from production expense estimates published in the Economic Research Service's "Economic Indicators of the Farm Sector". The Economic Research Service (ERS), the agency responsible for estimates of farm income, treats agriculture as a sector in the U.S. economy while the National Agricultural Statistics Service is interested in annual production expenditures as a cash outlay to farming operations. In most cases, items that would be considered cash farm operating expenditures are estimated the same by both agencies (NASS and ERS). This would include production inputs such as feed, seed, fertilizer, chemicals, and labor. There is a major difference in accounting between NASS and ERS for reporting capital expenditures. NASS considers capital expenditures such as purchases of vehicles and construction of buildings as a cash outlay for the farming operation while ERS recognizes the contribution of the expenditure as a depreciable asset to the farm sector. NASS interest expense includes the reported farm share of the household and excludes landlord interest expenditures. ERS excludes the nonfarm share of interest expense but includes landlord interest expense. An additional difference in methodology exists for livestock & poultry expenditures. ERS does not include farm to farm sales of livestock as this would not be a cost to the sector account -- only an expense to the farm making the purchase. Data Reliability: Two types of errors, sampling and nonsampling, are possible in an estimate based on a sample survey. Both types affect the "precision" of the estimates. Sampling error occurs because a complete census is not taken. The sampling error measures the variation in estimates from the average of all possible samples. An estimate of 100 with a sampling error of 1 would mean that chances are 19 out of 20 that the estimates from all possible samples averaged together would be between 98 and 102 which is the survey estimate, plus or minus two times the sampling error. The sampling error expressed as a percent of the estimate is called the relative sampling error. For 1994 total expenditures, the relative sampling errors were as follows for the different domains estimated: at the U.S. level 2.2 percent; from 5.3 to 10.7 percent at the Regional level; from 3.4 to 7.1 percent at the U.S. Economic Sales Class level; 2.8 percent for Crop Farms; and 3.7 percent for Livestock Farms. For 1993 total expenditures, the relative sampling errors were as follows for the different domains estimated: at the U.S. level 2.7 percent; from 3.7 to 12.3 percent at the Regional level; from 3.6 to 6.3 percent at the U.S. Economic Sales Class level; 3.1 percent for Crop Farms; and 4.5 percent for Livestock Farms. The relative sampling errors for major expense items at the U.S. level typically range from 2.0 to 6.0 percent. Data from sample surveys are also influenced by non-sampling errors which are not always measurable or known. Non-sampling errors may be introduced by enumerators, respondents, questionnaire design, or field and office procedures. Efforts are made to minimize these errors and maintain survey accuracy through proper training of all individuals involved with the survey, detailed review and verification of data, and analysis of data for comparability and consistency.
