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, and 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.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits
discrimination in all its programs on the basis of race, color, national
origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual
orientation, and marital or family status. (Not all prohibited bases
apply to all programs.) Persons with disabilities who require
alternative means for communication of program information (braille,
large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact the USDA's TARGET Center at
202-720-2600 (voice and TDD).
To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of
Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW,
Washington, D.C., 20250-9410, or call 202-720-5964 (voice or TDD). USDA
is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
