United States Total Farm Production Expenditures Down in 2009 Lower Fuel Expenditures Leads Decline United States Total Farm Production Expenditures totaled $287.4 billion in 2009 down from $307.0 billion in 2008. This is the first major decline of farm expenditures since 1986. The 2009 Total Expenditures fell 6.4 percent compared to the 2008 rise of 8.3 percent. Total Expenditures for 2008 remain unchanged from a year ago. Two expense items showing increases from the previous year were; Rent, up 0.9 percent, and Seed and Plants, up 2.6 percent. Major factors that impacted expenditures this year were general economic conditions and the price of crude oil. The sharp decline in petroleum prices was a major factor affecting Total Expenditures. Fuels, down 22.5 percent from previous year, had the largest decrease of any capital or non-capital expense. The decreasing cost of crude oil also contributed to the drop of Fertilizer and Agricultural Chemicals in 2009. Total Fuels Expense was $12.4 billion. Diesel, the largest sub-component, was $7.2 billion accounting for 58.2 percent of the total Fuels Expense. Diesel expenditures were down 26.8 percent in 2009. Gasoline was $2.4 billion, down 19.3 percent. LP Gas was $2.0 billion, down 3.9 percent. Other Fuels were $0.8 billion, down 27.3 percent. Expenditures with the largest percentage drop were: Fuels, down 22.5 percent; Other Farm Machinery, down 20.3 percent; Tractors and Self Propelled Machinery, down 18.4 percent; Farm Improvements, down 10.8 percent; and Fertilizer, Lime, and Soil Conditioners, down 10.7 percent The four largest expenditures at the United States level totaled $136.1 billion and accounted for 47.4 percent of Total Expenditures in 2009. They were Feed, 15.7 percent; Farm Services, 12.7 percent; Labor, 10.0 percent; and Livestock and Poultry Purchases, 9.0 percent. In 2009, the United States Total Farm Expenditure average per farm was $131,137 compared with $140,075 in 2008, a decrease of 6.4 percent. On average, United States farm operations spent: $20,533 on Feed, $16,609 on Farm Services, $13,141 on Labor, $11,818 on Livestock and Poultry Purchases, $9,171 on Fertilizer, Lime, and Soil Conditioners, and $10,312 on Rent. For 2008, United States farms spent an average of: $21,398 on Feed, $17,337 on Farm Services, $12,912 on Livestock and Poultry Purchases, $13,550 on Labor, and $10,220 on Rent. The top three average per farm expenditures with the largest dollar decrease were: Fuels down $1,642 or 22.5 percent; Fertilizer, Lime and Soil Conditioners, down $1,094, or 10.7 percent; and Livestock and Poultry Purchases, down $1,094, or 8.5 percent. All other per farm average decreases were down less than $1,000 per farm. The United States Economic Sales Class contributing most to the 2009 United States Total Expenditures was the $1,000,000 - $4,999,999 class, with expenses of $75.4 billion, 26.2 percent of the United States total, down 9.3 percent from the 2008 level of $83.1 billion. It was followed by the $5,000,000 and Over class with $51.0 billion (2008 -$57.4 billion) and the $500,000 - $999,999 class with $49.3 billion (2008 - $51.9 billion). Average 2009 Total Expenditures for the largest economic class of farms ($5 million and Over) were $10.3 million. That is 6.2 times larger than the next largest economic class with farms $1,000,000 - $4,999,999 averaging $1.7 million followed by the $500,000 - $999,999 economic class of farms averaging $0.7 million. In 2009, Crop Farms expenditures decreased to $158.5 billion, down 4.6 percent and Livestock Farms expenditures also decreased to $128.9 billion, down 8.5 percent. The largest expenditures for Crop Farms were Farm Services at $21.7 billion, (13.7 percent); Labor at $20.0 billion, (12.6 percent); Rent at $18.9 billion, (11.9 percent). Combined crop inputs (chemicals, fertilizers, and seeds) were $41.7 billion, accounting for 26.3 percent of Crop Farms total expenses. The largest expenditures for Livestock Farms were Feed at $41.1 billion, (31.9 percent); Livestock and Poultry Purchases, at $22.9 billion, (17.8 percent); Farm Services at $14.7 billion, (11.4 percent), together account for 61.0 percent of Livestock Farms total expenses. The average Total Expenditure for a Crop farm was $161,073 compared with $106,740 per Livestock farm. Total Expenditures by Region were down for all five regions in 2009. The Atlantic had the largest decrease at 8.7 percent, followed by the Plains down 8.4 percent. Total Expenditures for the South decreased 7.8 percent; the West decreased 6.1 percent; and the Midwest decreased only 3.5 percent. The Midwest region contributed the most to United States Total Expenditures with expenses of $88.2 billion (30.7 percent), down from $91.4 billion in 2008. The other regions ranked by Total Expenditures are: Plains at $68.0 billion (23.7 percent); West at $64.6 billion (22.5 percent); Atlantic at $35.5 billion (12.4 percent); and South at $31.1 billion (10.8 percent). The sum of Total Expenditures for the 15 Estimate States was $186.4 billion in 2009 (64.9 percent of the United States Total Expenses) and $198.4 billion in 2008 (64.6 percent). California contributed most to the 2009 United States Total Expenditures, with expenses of $29.6 billion, (10.3 percent). California expenditures were down 8.2 percent from the 2008 estimate of $32.3 billion. Iowa, the next leading state, had $22.0 billion in expenses, (7.7 percent). Other states with more than $10 billion in Total Expenditures were: Texas with $20.6 billion ($22.9 billion - 2008), Nebraska with $15.2 billion ($16.8 billion - 2008), Illinois with $14.5 billion ($14.9 billion - 2008), Minnesota with $13.5 billion (14.2 billion - 2008), and Kansas with $12.2 billion ($13.0 billion - 2008). The 2009 Agricultural Resource and Management Survey - Phase III (ARMS III) sample size was 33,348 with 21,050 usable reports, a response rate of 63.1 percent. The sample size was increased in 2003 and estimates for the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States have been published annually since 2004. Please be advised, the current form of this publication is changing. NASS will produce the 'old format' on August 3, 2010 and shortly after will release a newly formatted report, and going forward only the new format will be available.

In 1973, Congress required USDA to provide Cost of Production estimates on an annual basis for wheat, feed grains, cotton, and dairy. Since then, other commodities were added to the Cost of Production program. The Farm Production Expenditure Survey and the Cost of Production Survey were combined and called the Farm Costs and Returns Survey (FCRS) beginning in 1985. The Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) replaced the former Cropping Practices Survey (CPS) and the FCRS in 1996 improving the efficiency of data collection. The initiative to combine these surveys came from a growing need for more data to perform detailed comparisons of the relationship between various production practices (such as chemical and tillage use) and farm financial conditions. NASS initiated an estimation program in calendar year 1993 for Farm Production Expenditures. For earlier years, Farm Production Expenditure publications include only survey indications for expenditures at the United States, regional, size and type of farm levels. Currently, estimates are published for major groupings of farm production expenses for the United States, five Farm Production Regions, eight United States Economic Sales Classes, two farm types, the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States, and five Other State groupings. In 1993, due to increased demand for quality production input data, NASS and the Economic Research Service (ERS) began jointly setting estimates for production input costs. This change in procedure was facilitated by the adoption of new summary adjustments for non-response and farm coverage. The Agricultural Statistics Board establishes estimates for major expenditure items for the current year and considers revisions for the previous year's preliminary data. Formal release of expense data occurs before, but in coordination with, release of related ERS statistics such as net farm income. One of the primary NASS uses of farm production expenditure data is for weighting of Prices Paid Indexes. In early 1995, NASS completed a revision of the indexes. To facilitate this process, changes were made in component items estimated in this publication. The changes included the following: grazing fees were moved from the Farm Services category to Rent; Oils and Lubricants were moved from Fuels to Farm Supplies and Repairs; repairs and maintenance expenditures were moved from Other Farm Machinery to Farm Supplies and Repairs; and Building and Fencing materials were combined with Farm and Land Improvements to make the Farm Improvements and Construction category. Estimates for these levels were revised back to 1990, at the United States level, to provide a more useful series for data users. The uses of financial and demographic data collected in ARMS Phase III have expanded significantly over the past several years. Currently, data collected allows ERS to develop many estimates including farm income, cost of production for selected commodities, farm business balance sheets, farm productivity indicators, and analysis of farm financial and household characteristics. In addition, Congress, USDA, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), researchers, Agricultural Extension, and agribusinesses utilize data to develop forecasts, conduct research projects, and establish and review farm policy. As the agricultural community becomes increasingly more complex and integrated the demand for quality farm expenditure and income data continues to increase. Economic classification has been revised over time. Before 2002, the five United States Economic Classes for Gross Value of Sales used in previous reports were: $250,000 and Over; $100,000 - $249,999; $40,000 - $99,999; $10,000 - $39,999; Less Than $10,000. In 2002, the United States Economic Classes were updated to be consistent with other NASS economic publications and seven United States Economic Classes for Gross Value of Sales were: $1,000,000 and Over; $500,000 - $999,999; $250,000 - $499,999; $100,000 - $249,999; $50,000 - $99,999; $10,000 - $49,999; Less Than $10,000. In 2007, a change was made to divide the largest economic class "$1,000,000 and Over" into two classes for the purpose of calibration. The "$1,000,000 and Over" class became "$1,000,000 - $4,999,999" and "$5,000,000 and Over" classes. Calibrated indications were rerun for 2006, using these new classes as targets. The eight United States Economic Classes for Gross Value of Sales were: $5,000,000 and Over; $1,000,000 - $4,999,999; $500,000 - $999,999; $250,000 - $499,999; $100,000 - $249,999; $50,000 - $99,999; $10,000 - $49,999; Less Than $10,000. In 2003, Congress appropriated nearly $7 million for the restoration and expansion of the ARMS program. The subsequent changes included: increased sample size, recombining of expenditure categories, fuel sub-component estimates, and fully calibrated summary. ERS funding was used to support ARMS data collection. Sample sizes were increased in the 15 States with the highest cash receipts. The additional samples improved data quality, and allowed for the publication of state level estimates by NASS the following year. This NASS funding restored the ARMS III sample to historical levels, as well as the restoration of the Field Crops Chemical Use Program and ARMS II - Production Practices Report. The items included, in the Farm Improvement and Construction Expenditure, were changed in 2003 to include expenses for the operator's dwelling (if the dwelling is owned by the operation). Fuels expense sub-components (diesel, gasoline, LP gas, and other) were published for the first time in 2003. In 2004, the first expenditure estimates were published for the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States. The farm production regions were reduced from 10 to five regions. This change was made to allow NASS to publish state level expenditure estimates without disclosing data for unpublished states. The map, on page 49, shows the new distribution of regions and states. In 2005, the survey edit was changed so that Landlord Real Estate Taxes would be carefully examined by editors. Research indicated this change was needed to improve data quality in the area of taxes. As a result, about 3,300 more Landlord Real Estate Tax questionnaire cells were imputed. The effect of the change accounts for only a portion of the increase between 2004 and 2005 in the Taxes estimate. The fuel sub-components sample was increased by adding the sub-component questions to two more questionnaire versions (versions four and five) in 2005 and all questionnaires in 2006. During 2005 and 2006, an emphasis was placed on cattle farms where not all cattle are owned by the operation. These operations were identified and correctly recorded for production contracts and contractor livestock purchase expenditures. This edit work resulted in a break in the data series (about 1 percent of total expenditures). Research indicates that after the 1997 Agricultural Census, the 1999 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey, and an emphasis from ERS on contracts in general in the mid to late 1990's, a similar change in the data series occurred. Also, in 2006, Miscellaneous Capital Expenses was added as a separate line- item to the publication. Summary inconsistencies with version five (CORE) questionnaires dictated that Miscellaneous Expense be summarized with General Business Expense and rolled up into the Farms Services line-item. In 2008, all eight economic classes were published for Total Production Expenses. The 2008 publication also included a significant recalibration of the 2007 data and substantial revisions to the 2007 estimates because of farm numbers released in the 2007 Agricultural Census. In 2009, data mining was conducted on the ARMS III open dataset using SAS Enterprise Miner. The purpose of this research was to improve the quality of the dataset by searching for unexpected relationships between variables. Several benefits were discovered under this limited trial. It is expected to be a help in testing and refining future ARMS III edits procedures. Full production use should occur in 2011. Statistical Methodology Name of survey The 2009 Agricultural Resource Management Survey Publication date "Farm Production Expenditures 2009 Summary" was released on August 3, 2010. This publication is released early in August each year. Data collection and sample Period: The Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS III) was conducted January through April of 2010. Sampling frames: ARMS III is a multi-frame survey which utilizes a list frame (OL)/area frame (NOL) design. The list frame typically represents the larger, more specialized operations contributing the greater portion of the data expansions. The area frame provides coverage for the operations that are not available for sampling from the list. Since all of the operators on the list frame are also part of the area frame, rigorous procedures are followed to assure that operations are not double counted. These multiple frame expansions are unbiased and provide more precise expansions than could be obtained by using a single frame approach. Sample size: The 2009 sample was 33,348 farms and ranches. Reporting unit: ARMS III covers a population of all farms in the 48 contiguous states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) that meet the official USDA definition (all establishments which sold or would normally have sold at least $1,000 of agricultural products during the previous year). These operations include not only traditional agricultural farms such as grain farms and ranching operations, but also specialty farms like orchards, nurseries, and aquaculture, etc. Sampling for large operations (EO's): Sample Design creates an additional strata (stratum 60) consisting of Farm Value of Sales (FVS) greater than $5,000,000 in States where appropriate. The farm value of sales strata are subdivided into substrata defined by type of farm. These substrata are used in the sampling program to switch overburdened farms with similar less burdened farms. Non-farm NOL area tract sampling: June Area Survey (JAS) area non-overlap tracts for ARMS III with June farm value of sales (FVS) below $1,000, after point determination, were not sampled for the 2009 ARMS. This includes operations which are determined to have pasture points only. All completed non-overlap tract reports are eligible for ARMS III expenditure survey sampling. Modes of data collection Training: To ensure consistent and proper execution of survey procedures in farm determination, data collection, and editing of detailed expense, income data, and demographic data, specialized training occurred on the national and state levels prior to the ARMS data collection period. Data are collected using electronic data reporting (EDR), mail return, and personal enumeration. Questionnaire versions 1,2,3,4 are enumerated and version 5 can be EDR, mail return, or personal enumeration. Questionnaires: The ARMS III Cost and Returns Report (CRR) version collects information on general farm finances, farm expenses and income, assets, debt, farm household expenses, off-farm income, and farm operator demographic information. The commodity-specific ARMS III Cost of Production (COP) questionnaires collect the same information as the CRR. Additionally, these versions collect information related to the amount spent for selected expense items so that entire farm costs can be allocated to the targeted crop or livestock enterprise. There is a Version 5 (CORE) questionnaire. This is initially mailed to the entire CORE sample and followed up with field enumeration. The CORE questionnaire, like the name suggests, contains only core questions. These questions are all included in the CRR version or can be arrived at by adding detail from the CRR version to totals. All States have a CORE sample. In 2009, there were three COP commodities: wheat, organic wheat, and hogs. The States involved this year were: Organic Wheat: Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Washington Wheat: Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Texas, Washington Hogs: Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Virginia, Wisconsin Terms and definitions Agricultural Chemicals: This expense line-item includes material and application costs. Average per farm: The average per farm is computed by dividing the line-item total expense by the total number of farms at that level (United States, region, type, economic class, or state). Expense line-items: All expense line-items (Rent, Interest, etc.) include the operator, landlord, and contractor shares of farm production expenses. Farm improvements and construction: Includes all expenditures related to new construction or repairs of buildings, fences, operator dwelling (if dwelling is owned by operation), and any improvements to physical structures of land. Farm services: This is a summation of all crop custom work, veterinary custom services, transportation costs, marketing charges, insurance, leasing of machinery and equipment, utilities, general expenses, and miscellaneous business expenses. Farm supplies and repairs: This expense includes bedding/litter, marketing containers, power farm shop equipment, oils and lubricants, temporary fencing, miscellaneous non-capital equipment and supplies, repairs and maintenance of equipment not depreciated, and other small, non-capital equipment. Livestock, poultry, and related expenses: This line-item includes purchases and leasing of livestock and poultry. Intra-state and inter-state transfers of livestock are captured. (Edit procedures have been upgraded over the last several years to accurately identify operations with animal production contracts. This leads to an increase in recorded Livestock, Poultry, and Related Expenses for contractors.) Miscellaneous capital expenses: Miscellaneous Capital Expense records any capital expenses not recorded in specific items on the questionnaire. It was estimated for the first time in 2005. Due the small size of this expense, a zero in this line-item denotes less than 5 million dollars. Average value derived from expenditure rounding to zero will also be zero. Other fuels: Line-item includes all other forms of fuel not specifically listed in the questionnaire (natural gas, coal, fuel oil, kerosene, wood, etc). Regions: There are 5 agricultural regions used for ARMS III analysis. Refer to page 49 for a complete listing and map of states and regions. Rent: Rent includes cash rent paid, share rent, plus public and private grazing fees. Seeds and plants: All purchases of seed, plants, or seed treatments for nursery and farming operation are included. Bedding plants, nursery stock, and seed purchased for resale are excluded. Taxes: Taxes is the sum of real estate taxes and personal property taxes for operator, landlord, and contractor. State data review procedures Within individual reports: Data were edited using both hand and machine edit procedures. Questionnaires were reviewed for consistency, data relationships, and completeness. Past analysis has shown approximately half of all changes made by editors were for correcting data recorded in the wrong cell. In cases where respondents were unable or unwilling to report data for any item on the questionnaire, the field enumerators or survey statisticians can impute a value. For income cells, debt/asset data, and a few expense items an imputation algorithm supplied data for any marked missing values based on similar size and type of operations after all records have cleared the edit. For other expense items where no data were reported, cells were edited if appropriate by the survey statistician to a positive value based on other reported values from similar operations, previously reported data, or other administrative sources. Between individual reports: Macro analysis is accomplished using the Individual Data Analysis System (IDAS). This allows analysts to compare groups of records for outliers or other unusual relationships. Adjustments to the records for keying and reporting errors are often found and corrected at this level. National data review procedures ARMS III Commodity Statisticians edit data along with NASS Field Offices (FO) statisticians providing a ground truth understanding of the dataset. IDAS analysis starts early on a national basis before all records are entered into the database and cleaned of errors. Headquarters personnel review outliers, contract pricing, and profitability measures across records. Feedback is provided to FO editors on specific records and general procedures as record editing progresses as the need arises. Outliers: Outliers are checked for accurate data and mitigated through a review process by the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). This mitigation is usually a reweighting to the median of the economic class by farm type. National expense outliers are treated on an individual basis and weighting actions are approved by the ASB. Summary calibration: Since 1992, the Direct Expansion (DE) summary has been adjusted for under coverage and total number of farms. In 2003, a second calibrated summary was developed which uses a more robust methodology that adjusts weights based on an increased number of target commodities (31 in 2009). Those targets currently include Corn for grain acres, Wheat for grain acres, Soybean acres, Cotton acres, Vegetable acres, Fruit acres, Hay acres, Peanut acres, Rice acres, Sugarcane/Sugar beet acres, Tobacco acres, Nursery/Floriculture (Open Area and Area Under Cover), Cattle inventory, Cattle on Feed inventory, Hog and Pig inventory, Milk production, Eggs produced, Broiler inventory, Turkey inventory, Number of Farms by eight economic classes, Number of Farms by non-estimate states, and Total Number of Farms. The sources for the targets are official USDA estimates. Additional targets may be added to control for commodities in the COP questionnaire versions. Sample weights are calibrated to known targets to ensure that farms of all economic sizes are properly represented in the survey results and therefore their economic activity is fully representative of the farm population. Estimating procedures The implementation of the estimates analysis tool Analysis Comments Estimation Review (ACER) was done in 2004. ACER improvements over several years have made it possible to set the 1424 estimates now required for this publication. In 2005, Executive Summaries were sent to all states electronically. The ACER tools provide more administrative data, charting, and sample coverage data to the NASS analysis stats as they completed their review of the summary. Board review: After data are summarized, a combined NASS/ERS Board is used for Outlier treatment and confirmation of National Expenditure Estimates. This board procedure is consistent with the procedure used to set estimates for other NASS surveys. Eighteen United States level line-items are set first (on rounded indication). After the Farm Production Expenditures Board formally approves the national estimates, the commodity statisticians in the Environmental, Economics, and Demographics Branch set estimates for line- items in Regions, 15 States, type of farm, economic class, and fuel subcomponents. These are also reviewed and approved by ERS. NASS publishes the approved expenditures and ERS staff set USDA estimates for income and demographic data. Estimate states: The following states are assigned large enough samples that expenditure estimates are set; Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. As a final estimate step, FO expenditure estimates are reviewed and commented on by the 15 Estimate States. All other states are grouped by region and an estimate is set for them also. These are used by ERS to develop the value added tables (Income and Expense estimates by state). Reliability Revision policy: Farm Production Expenditure estimates are subject to revision one year after their preliminary release. Each publication contains the current year preliminary estimates and the previous year final estimates. Revisions are made only when additional information becomes available that changes the summarization of survey results. Additional information may become available when the calibration methodologies for production estimates are improved or revisions occur in farm number estimates by sales class or other official estimates of commodity production. NASS revised its 2007 annual farm number estimates based on the 2007 Census of Agriculture (Farms, Land in Farms, and Livestock Operations - 2008 Summary- 02/2009). NASS did not make revisions to farm numbers for the years previous to 2007, because no new information was available. Consequently, published farm production expenditures for the years prior will not be revised. Data are not subject to revision in the five year census cycle. Coefficients of variation (CV): The CVs for the last four years are presented in the table on the following page.
