August Farm Prices Received Index Increased 2 Points 

The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in 
August, at 192 percent, based on 1990-1992=100, increased 2 points (1.1 
percent) from July. The Crop Index is up 3 points (1.3 percent) and the 
Livestock Index increased 3 points (2.0 percent). Producers received higher 
prices for corn, milk, eggs, and soybeans. Lower prices were received for 
hogs, onions, potatoes, and carrots. In addition to prices, the overall index 
is also affected by the seasonal change based on a 3-year average mix of 
commodities producers sell. Increased monthly movement of cattle, barley, 
sweet corn, and calves offset the decreased marketing of wheat, hay, corn, 
and strawberries.

The preliminary All Farm Products Index is up 8 points (4.3 percent) from 
August 2011. The Food Commodities Index, at 177, increased 1 point (0.6 
percent) from last month and 3 points (1.7 percent) from August 2011.

Prices Paid Index up 3 Points

The August Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, 
Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is 216 percent of the 1990-1992 average. 
The index is up 3 points (1.4 percent) from July and 11 points (5.4 percent) 
above August 2011. Higher prices in August for diesel, concentrates, feed 
grains, and complete feeds offset lower prices for nitrogen, feeder pigs, 
other services, and potash & phosphate.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates

Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. 
They include all grades and qualities. The average commodity price from the 
survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give 
the total cash receipts for the commodity.

Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were 
obtained from probability samples of about 1900 mills and elevators. These 
procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels 
has a chance of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed 
account for 90 percent or more of total United States production. Livestock 
prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market 
check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state 
commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and livestock are 
not included since they represent very small percentages of the total 
marketings. Grain marketed for seed is also excluded. Fruit and vegetable 
prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, 
private marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities.

Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by 
strata to state levels and used to weight average strata prices to a state 
average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on 
expanded marketings. Recommendations are prepared by the State Field Offices 
and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. State 
recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other 
States, and recent historic estimates.

Revisions: For most items, the current month's preliminary price represents a 
3-5 day period around the 15th of the month. Previous month's prices 
represent actual dollars received for quantities sold during the entire 
month. Revisions are published in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices.

Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys 
generally have a sampling error of less than one percent for the major 
commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods 
of summarization for non-probability commodities are not designed directly to 
calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the 
United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any 
nonsampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain 
correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, 
mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step 
in the survey process to minimize these nonsampling errors.

Prices Paid by Farmers

The August Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, 
Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) at 216 (1990-1992=100) is up 1.4 percent 
from July 2012 and 5.4 percent from August 2011. 
 
Production index: The August index, at 230, increased 1.3 percent from last 
month and 6.0 percent from last year. Higher prices in August for diesel, 
concentrates, feed grains, and complete feeds offset lower prices for 
nitrogen, feeder pigs, other services, and potash & phosphate.

Feed: The August index, at 279, increased 4.5 percent from July and 17 
percent from last August. Since July, prices for concentrates, feed grains, 
complete feeds, supplements, and hay & forages are higher.

Livestock and poultry: The August index, at 149, increased 0.7 percent from 
last month and 1.4 percent from last year. Since July, higher prices for 
feeder cattle offset lower prices for feeder pigs. The August feeder cattle 
price, at $135.80 per cwt, is up $2.80 per cwt from the July price. August 
feeder pigs averaged $46.00 per cwt, down $21.00 per cwt from July.

Fertilizer: The August index, at 339, is down 1.2 percent from July but 2.4 
percent above August a year ago. Since July, prices for nitrogen, potash & 
phosphate, and mixed fertilizer are lower.

Chemicals: The August index, at 153, is unchanged from July but increased 5.5 
percent from last August. Compared with last month, prices for herbicides, 
insecticides, and fungicides/other are slightly lower.

Fuels: The August index, at 356, is up 6.6 percent from a month earlier but 
3.3 percent below August 2011. Compared with last month, prices for diesel, 
gasoline, and LP gas are higher.

Machinery: The August index, at 259, is unchanged from July but is 5.7 
percent above last August. Compared with last month, prices for self-
propelled machinery and other machinery are higher. 

Consumer price index: The July 2012 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers (CPI-U) decreased 0.2 
percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 229.104 (1982-1984=100). The 
June index is 229.478. For the 12 month period ending in July, the overall 
index increased 1.4 percent.

Reliability of Prices Paid Estimates

Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs 
purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce agricultural commodities. 
Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should 
equal total producer expenditures for the item. 

Survey procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that 
sell goods and services to farmers and ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms 
are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average 
response rate in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the 
price for the specified item "most commonly bought by farmers" or that was 
the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to 
represent all production input items purchased. The survey reference period 
for most items is the five business days centered around the 15th of the 
month. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, 
fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed.

Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is 
summarized as a nonprobability survey. Average prices reported are aggregated 
to the region and United States level using weights available from 
expenditure data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are 
prepared by the State Field Offices and Headquarters for review by the 
Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price 
level for individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and United 
States levels, and are published as prices paid indexes referenced to a 
specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building 
materials, farm supplies, motor supplies, and marketing containers are 
updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor 
Statistics (BLS) indexes.

Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of 
Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision must be supported by additional 
data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are 
likely for March when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of 
BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change.

Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not 
designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures 
approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around 
10 percent. Any nonsampling errors are attributed to such things as the 
inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting 
questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. 
Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these 
nonsampling errors. 

Program change: Effective January 1, 1995, the National Agricultural 
Statistics Service updated the weights and changed the construction of its 
prices paid and received by farmers indexes. A Federal Register Notice dated 
October 28, 1994 discussed these program modifications.

A 1990-1992 reference and base period replaced the 1977 reference and 1971-
1973 base weight period. Five-year moving average weights replaced the 
current fixed 1971-1973 base period weights. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, 
required by statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on 
the changes in the new 1990-1992=100 indexes. The new indexes were 
constructed by multiplying the ratios of the current prices to the base 
period prices by the moving average weights (adjusted for seasonal marketing 
patterns for the prices received indexes).
