Agricultural Prices

ISSN: 1937-4216

Released May 31, 2016, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of

Agriculture (USDA).

April Farm Prices Received Index Increased 0.2 Percent

The April Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 93.0, increased 0.2 percent from March 2016. At 86.5, the

Crop Production Index increased 4.2 percent. At 97.8, the Livestock Production Index decreased 2.4 percent. Producers

received higher prices for broilers, soybeans, lettuce, and hogs but lower prices for cattle, eggs, calves, and milk.

Compared with a year earlier, the Prices Received Index is down 10 percent, the Crop Production Index decreased

2.4 percent and the Livestock Production Index declined 16 percent. In addition to prices, the indexes are influenced by

the monthly mix of commodities producers market. Increased monthly movement of strawberries, milk, oranges, and

broilers offset the decreased marketing of corn, dry beans, cattle, and soybeans. The Food Commodities Index, at 96.8,

decreased 0.5 percent from the previous month and is down 13 percent from April 2015.

April Prices Paid Index Down 0.5 Percent

The April Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 106.6,

is down 0.5 percent from March 2016 and down 4.2 percent from April 2015. Lower prices in April for feeder cattle,

concentrates, wage rates, and feeder pigs more than offset higher prices for hay & forages, diesel, gasoline, and nitrogen.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates

Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The

average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash

receipts for the commodity.

Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about

1,900 mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance

of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total United States

production. Livestock prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from

AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and

livestock are not included since they represent very small percentages of the total sales. Grain marketed for seed is also

excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private

marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities.

Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight

average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on expanded sales.

Recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in

Washington, D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent

historic estimates.

Revisions: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year estimation time, following five-year

Census revisions, or when later information is received. Revisions are published in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices.

Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one

percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for

non-probability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures

approximate the United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to

such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in

coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling

errors.

Program Changes: After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) 2009 program review which

included changes in farm production practices, plans were implemented to make necessary program improvements in the

agricultural price program. The index group structure for prices received was modified to maintain a more universal structure

and consistency with the required 1910-1914 series.

Modifications implemented January 2014 include the following: update the current 1990-1992 base reference period to 2011,

link the 1910-1914 series to the updated base reference period, 2011, create index groups used universally by researchers, data

users, and policymakers, re-classify agricultural commodities into the index groups, expand the commodity coverage for

vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree nuts, update monthly market weights, and adjust (normalization) current five year

moving average cash receipts and farm input cost weights.

Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an

annual index.

The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent.

The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number.

See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details.


April Prices Paid by Farmers

The April index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 106.6,

is down 0.5 percent from March 2016 and down 4.2 percent from April 2015.

Production: The April index, at 105.3, is down 0.7 percent from March and is 6.3 percent lower than last year. Lower

prices for feeder cattle, concentrates, wage rates, and feeder pigs more than offset higher prices for hay & forages, diesel,

gasoline, and nitrogen.

Feed: At 100.2, the April index decreased 0.5 percent from March and is down 6.1 percent from last April. Since

March, lower prices for concentrates, complete feeds, supplements, and feed grains offset higher prices for

hay & forages.

Livestock and poultry: The April index, at 115.3, decreased 4.5 percent from March and is down 28 percent from

last year. Since March, prices are lower for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, and milk cows. The April feeder cattle price, at

$155.00 per cwt, is down $8.00 per cwt from the March price. April feeder pigs averaged $188.00 per cwt, down

$7.00 per cwt from March.

Fertilizer: The index for April, at 76.0, is up 0.7 percent from March but is 16 percent below April a year ago. Since

March, prices are higher for nitrogen, potash & phosphate, and mixed fertilizer.

Chemicals: The April index, at 108.8, is unchanged from March but is up 2.2 percent from last April.

Fuels: At 53.5, the April index is up 3.5 percent from March but is 20 percent below April 2015. Compared with

March, prices are higher for diesel, gasoline, and LP gas.

Machinery: The index for April, at 114.2, decreased 0.2 percent from March and is 0.8 percent below last April.

Compared with last month, prices are lower for self-propelled machinery.

Consumer Price Index: The April 2016 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban

consumers (CPI-U) increased 1.1 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 239.261 (1982-1984=100). For the

month, the index increased 0.5 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

Reliability of Prices Paid Estimates

Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce

agricultural commodities. Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should equal total

producer expenditures for the item.

Survey procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that sell goods and services to farmers and

ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average response rate

in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the price for the specified item "most commonly bought by

farmers" or that was the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to represent all production

input items purchased. The survey reference period for most items is the five business days centered at the 15th of the

month. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed.

Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is summarized as a non-probability survey.

Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from expenditure

data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and

Headquarters for review by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price level for

individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and United States levels, and are published as prices paid indexes

referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor

supplies, and marketing containers are updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statistics

(BLS) indexes.

Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision

must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely for March

when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change.

Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors.

However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent.

Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in

interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the

survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors.

Program change: Effective January 2014, the National Agricultural Statistics Service modified the five-year moving

weights and updated the base reference period. In January 2015, publication of preliminary prices was suspended, and the

annual average index was replaced by an annual index.

As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period was updated to 2011. Five-year moving average weights are

adjusted (normalized) to minimize the effects of price changes. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by statute for

computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 2011=100 indexes. The new indexes were

constructed by multiplying the ratios of the current prices to the base period prices by the moving average weights.

Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an

annual index.

The April 2015 program update discontinued publication of the annual March survey prices paid data.

The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent.

The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number.

See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details.
