All updated data is also available on our Quick Stats website. Published October 22, 2009: Beginning with the February 22, 2010 Cold Storage report, Other Turkey was separated into the following five categories: breast meat, legs, mechanically deboned meat, other, and unclassified. The 2009 data for these categories was published in the Cold Storage 2009 Summary, released on February 22, 2010. Data for the five categories prior to 2009 was not available. All updated data is also available on our Quick Stats website. Published June 22, 2009: Beginning with April 30, 2009 revised estimates, an increase in strawberry inventory was the result of increased coverage of cold storage facilities as well as updated plant information. The April 2009 revisions of frozen strawberries covered the following categories: Total, IQF and Poly, Pails and Tubs, Barrels and Drums, and Juice Stock. Updated historic reported strawberry data prior to April 2009 was unavailable. Year to year relationships for strawberry and the total fruit categories were impacted by this change. Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: Questionnaires are mailed about the 24th of each month to all operators on the list of approximately 800 public and private cold storage warehouses. In addition, data are obtained from special surveys and other sources. 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, 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. All commodities reported on the cold storage report are regardless of ownership or origin. NASS does not differentiate between commodities owned by manufacturer, producer, wholesaler, retailer, government owned, or domestically produced vs. imported. 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 approximately 660 firms each month which represent about 80 percent of the total capacity. Firms that are not on the list or firms who have never reported are not represented in the data. Plants storing butter or cheese are required under Federal law as defined in Public Laws 106-532 and 107-171 to complete the monthly Cold Storage report. 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.
