Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: Flour Milling Products is part of the Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIR) program. CAIR reports are administered under NASS's Census of Agriculture program. Response to CAIR surveys are required by law (Title 7, U.S. Code). Data are collected from all known mills that produce wheat or rye flour. The census universe was determined during operation profile interviews which were completed for each potential facility to identify the presence of wheat or rye flour production in 2014. The operation profile also documented the manner in which the firm will report. A firm headquarters can report for all milling locations or each location can report separately. In the Flour Milling Products survey questionnaires, mills are asked for previous quarter data on wheat and rye ground for flour, and production of flour, whole wheat flour, and millfeed. Quarters are based on a calendar year with the following definitions: first quarter - January through March; second quarter - April through June; third quarter - July through September; fourth quarter - October through December. Mills are mailed questionnaires with the options of completing the survey by mail or by Electronic Data Reporting (EDR). For surveys not received in a reasonable amount of time, telephone follow-up is conducted. Estimating Procedures: Imputation is done for operations with non-response by using historical data and current data relationships. Data for reporting firms are added to estimates for non-reporting firms to obtain National or Regional totals. Revision Policy: Data are revised the following quarter based on late reports or corrected data. Final figures are published in the annual summary of the following year. Reliability: Approximately 165 reports are received each month which represent about 99 percent of total capacity. Quarterly data can vary due to different firms reporting quarter to quarter. 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.
