Statistical Methodology: Dairy Products
Data Collection Period: Dairy products estimates are based upon survey data
collected after the close of each month. Production data are provided by the
firms producing dairy products.
Sampling frames and sample size: In 2009, there were 1,178 manufacturers that
produced one or more dairy products. In states with small numbers of plants,
reports are received from all plants each month. In states with large numbers
of plants, survey procedures are designed to obtain monthly reports from all
large plants and from a sample of small plants. In some states, the State
Departments of Agriculture assist in collection of data, which eliminates
duplicate reporting and reduces respondent burden.
Modes of data collection: Data are collected by mail, personal and telephone
interviews, facsimile, and via electronic mail.
Terms and definitions: Firms complete the questionnaire using standard
industry definitions and through the aid of instructions and definitions
provided on the questionnaire.
Reliability: Data for the Dairy Products report are collected by a Census of
all known manufacturers of dairy products in the United States. Firms
producing a large quantities of dairy products, along with a sample of
smaller firms, are contacted monthly to collect previous month production
data. Those small firms not contacted monthly are contacted after the close
of the year to obtain previous year production. Production of products at
small firms not contacted monthly are estimated during the monthly survey
based upon check data, and state and national trends. Small firms are defined
as those that do not make up a significant portion of the published total.
Plants storing nonfat dry milk and dry whey are required under Federal law to
complete the Dairy Products report. Plants storing these items are contacted
monthly. Additionally, many state governments have mandated that dairy plants
in their state complete the Dairy Products report each month. Because the
Dairy Products survey is a census, sampling error should not affect the final
estimates, however non-sampling errors are possible.
Estimating Procedures: In the field office (FO), data reported by firms are
reviewed for reasonableness and consistency by comparing with data reported
in prior months and by data reported by other firms in the State. Each field
office summarizes data at the State level. State estimates are submitted to
the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB) along with supporting comments where
they are compared with surrounding states, their region, and national trends.
During both FO and ASB review, plants are sometimes contacted again for
further verification of numbers reported. After ASB review, FO data are
summarized into a National level summary.
Revision Policy: Monthly estimates are subject to revision the month
following the preliminary estimates. Annual estimates are published in late
April in the "Dairy Products Yearly Summary" report which includes any
revisions made to previous 2 years of estimates. Revisions are generally due
to plant data that are received too late to be included in the current
report.
