Released February 26, 2021, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA).
January Prices Received Index Down 1.4 Percent The January Prices Received Index 2011 Base (Agricultural Production), at 90.0, decreased 1.4 percent from December
but increased 1.2 percent from January 2020. At 88.8, the Crop Production Index was down 3.1 percent from last month
but up 7.6 percent from the previous year. The Livestock Production Index, at 91.7, increased 0.9 percent from December, but decreased 6.9 percent from January 2020. Producers received lower prices during January for milk, broilers,
cauliflower, and broccoli, but higher prices for corn, market eggs, celery, and soybeans. In addition to prices, the volume
change of commodities marketed also influences the indexes. In January, there was decreased marketing of broilers, greenhouse & nursery, apples, and market eggs and increased monthly movement for soybeans, corn, strawberries, and
lettuce.
January Prices Paid Index Up 0.8 Percent The January Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 113.1,
is up 0.8 percent from December 2020 and 2.0 percent from January 2020. Higher prices in January for LP gas, complete
feeds, feeder pigs, and feed grains more than offset lower prices for feeder cattle, share rent, cash rent, and wage rates.

20 Agricultural Prices (February 2021) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Parity Price Overview Parity prices, based on data from January 2021, and adjusted base price data from which parity prices are computed are
presented in the tables on the following pages. Parity prices are computed under the provisions of Title III. Subtitle A,
Section 301(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended by the Agricultural Acts of 1948, 1949, 1954, and 1956.
The parity prices shown in this report are based on the provisions of the amended Act. Briefly, the actual method of computation is as follows:
a. The average of prices received by farmers for individual commodities for the 10 preceding years is calculated (for 2020, the 10-average includes the years 2010-2019). An allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental payments
resulting from price support programs, such as the deficiency payments for grains and cotton, is included for those
commodities for which applicable.
b. This 10-year average is divided by the average of the Index of Prices Received by Farmers for the same 10 preceding
calendar years, adjusted to include an allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental price support operations, to give an "adjusted base price".
c. Parity prices are computed by multiplying the "adjusted base prices" by the current Parity Index (the Index of Prices Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Wage Rates, 1910-1914=100).
Parity prices are calculated in terms of prices received by farmers in the local markets in which they ordinarily sell. This means that the parity prices apply to the average of all classes and grades of the commodity as sold by all farmers in the
United States, except as otherwise specified. Fruits and vegetables for fresh use and for processing are usually considered
separate commodities and separate parity prices are calculated. The Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 provided for parity prices for certain commodities covered by a marketing agreement or order program. Under present
legislation, United States parity prices, with appropriate adjustments where needed, may be used for the purpose of this
Act.

32 Agricultural Prices (February 2021) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
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: updated the current 1990-1992 base reference period to
2011; linked the 1910-1914 series to the updated base reference period, 2011; created index groups used universally by
researchers, data users, and policymakers; and re-classified agricultural commodities into the index groups. Also, the modifications expanded the commodity coverage for vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree nuts; updated monthly market
weights; and adjusted (normalized) 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.

are higher than the previous month for complete feeds, feed grains, concentrates, hay and forages, and supplements.
Livestock and poultry: The January index, at 103.4, is up 0.2 percent from December 2020 but down 3.6 percent
from last year. Higher prices for feeder pigs and milk cows more than offset lower prices for feeder cattle. The feeder pigs price, $168.00 per cwt, is up $25.00 per cwt from the previous month. The feeder cattle price, at
$139.00 per cwt, is down $3.00 per cwt from December.
Fertilizer: The index for January, at 77.8, is up 2.5 percent from December 2020 and 13 percent from January a
year ago. Compared with December, prices are higher for nitrogen, potash and phosphate, and mixed fertilizer.
Chemicals: The January index, at 100.3, is up 0.7 percent from December 2020 and up 2.0 percent from last
January.
Fuels: At 91.4, the January index is up 14 percent from December 2020 and 17 percent from January 2020.
Compared with December, prices are higher for LP gas, diesel, and gasoline.
Machinery: The index for January, at 125.4, increased 0.8 percent from December 2020 and 0.7 percent from last
January. Compared with last month, prices are higher for other machinery, tractors, and self-propelled machinery.
Consumer Price Index: The January 2021 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), as issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased 1.4 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 261.582 (1982-1984=100).
For the month, the index increased 0.4 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

Agricultural Prices (February 2021) 37 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
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 Stat istics (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.
