Agricultural Prices ISSN: 1937-4216 Released February 28, 2019, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Special Note The Other Hay Baled Market Year Average Prices Received table has been delayed due to the lapse in federal funding. The table will be published in the April 30 Agricultural Prices release. January Prices Received Index Down 4.5 Percent The January Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 84.9, decreased 4.5 percent from December 2018. At 76.3, the Crop Production Index decreased 10.8 percent. The Livestock Production Index, at 97.9, increased 6.4 percent. Producers received higher prices for broilers, cattle, milk, and hogs but lower prices for lettuce, market eggs, cotton, and broccoli. Compared with a year earlier, the Prices Received Index is down 0.7 percent. The Crop Production Index decreased 1.7 percent and the Livestock Production Index increased 3.6 percent. The indexes are calculated using commodity prices and volumes of commodities that producers market. Increased monthly movement of corn, soybeans, wheat, and cattle offset the decreased marketing of milk, broilers, greenhouse & nursery, and market eggs. The Food Commodities Index, at 92.8, decreased 1.5 percent from the previous month but was unchanged from January 2018. January Prices Paid Index Up 0.1 Percent The January Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109.3, is up 0.1 percent from December 2018 and up 1.0 percent from January 2018. Higher prices in January for other services, complete feeds, hay and forages, and self-propelled machinery more than offset lower prices for diesel, milk cows, supplements, and concentrates.

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 1,900 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 sales. 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 sales. Recommendations are prepared by the Regional 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: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year estimation time, following five-year Census revisions, or when later information is received. 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 non- sampling 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 non-sampling errors. Program Changes: After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) 2009 program review which included changes in farm production practices, plans were implemented to make necessary program improvements in the agricultural price program. The index group structure for prices received was modified to maintain a more universal structure and consistency with the required 1910-1914 series. Modifications implemented January 2014 include the following: updated the current 1990-1992 base reference period to 2011; linked the 1910-1914 series to the updated base reference period, 2011; created index groups used universally by researchers, data users, and policymakers; and re-classified agricultural commodities into the index groups. Also the modifications expanded the commodity coverage for vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree nuts; updated monthly market weights; and adjusted (normalized) current five year moving average cash receipts and farm input cost weights. Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an annual index. The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent. The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number. See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details. January Prices Paid by Farmers The January Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109.3, is up 0.1 percent from December 2018 and 1.0 percent from January 2018. Production: The January index, at 106.2, is up 0.1 percent from December and 0.8 percent from January last year. Higher prices for other services, complete feeds, hay and forages, and self-propelled machinery more than offset lower prices for diesel, milk cows, supplements, and concentrates. Feed: At 97.4, the January index increased 0.5 percent from December and 3.4 percent from last January. Since December, higher prices for complete feeds, hay and forages, and feed grains more than offset lower prices for concentrates and supplements. Livestock and poultry: The January index, at 106.1, is unchanged from December but down 6.2 percent from last year. Since December, lower prices for milk cows offset higher prices for feeder pigs and feeder cattle. The January feeder cattle price, at $146.00 per cwt, is unchanged from the December price. The January feeder pigs price, at $175.00 per cwt, is up $7.00 per cwt from December. Fertilizer: The index for January, at 70.1, is up 0.1 percent from December and 8.9 percent from January a year ago. Since December, higher prices for nitrogen and potash and phosphate more than offset lower prices for mixed fertilizer. Chemicals: The January index, at 99.6, is up 0.2 percent from December but down 3.6 percent from January last year. Fuels: At 59.8, the January index is down 3.9 percent from December and 10.5 percent from January 2018. Compared with December, prices are lower for diesel and gasoline, and unchanged for LP gas. Machinery: The index for January, at 122.2, increased 0.6 percent from December and 3.4 percent from January last year. Prices for self- propelled machinery and other machinery are higher than the previous month. The price for tractors is unchanged.

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 at 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 non-probability 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 Regional 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 non-sampling 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 non- sampling errors. Program change: Effective January 2014, the National Agricultural Statistics Service modified the five-year moving weights and updated the base reference period. In January 2015, publication of preliminary prices was suspended, and the annual average index was replaced by an annual index. As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period was updated to 2011. Five-year moving average weights are adjusted (normalized) to minimize the effects of price changes. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 2011=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. Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an annual index. The April 2015 program update discontinued publication of the annual March survey prices paid data. The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent. The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number. See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details.
