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.
