Agricultural Prices

ISSN: 1937-4216

Released September 27, 2013, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States

Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Special Note

USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is suspending a number of statistical surveys and reports for the

remainder of the fiscal year resulting from reduced funding. Suspended commodity programs impacting the Agricultural

Prices report are non-citrus fruit, tree nuts, vegetables, and milk cow replacement prices. Check the NASS website at

www.nass.usda.gov for any future updates to these programs

September Farm Prices Received Index Declined 4 Points

The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in September, at 185 percent, based on

1990-1992=100, decreased 4 points (2.1 percent) from August. The Crop Index is down 8 points (3.7 percent) and the

Livestock Index decreased 1 point (0.6 percent). Producers received lower prices for corn, hogs, and wheat and higher

prices for calves, milk, and cattle. In addition to prices, the overall index is also affected by the seasonal change based on

a 3-year average mix of commodities producers sell. Increased monthly movement of soybeans, corn, potatoes, and hogs

offset the decreased marketing of wheat, cattle, cotton, and broilers.

The preliminary All Farm Products Index is down 10 points (5.1 percent) from September 2012. The Food Commodities

Index, at 181, is unchanged from last month but decreased 1 point (0.5 percent) from September 2012.

Prices Paid Index Down 3 Points

The September Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is

213 percent of the 1990-1992 average. The index is down 3 points (-1.4 percent) from August and 4 points (-1.8 percent)

below September 2012. Lower prices in September for concentrates, nitrogen, feed grains, and mixed fertilizer offset

higher prices for feeder cattle, diesel, LP gas, and feeder pigs.

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

1900 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 State 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: For most items, the current month's preliminary price represents a 3-5 day period around the 15th of the

month. Previous month's prices represent actual dollars received for quantities sold during the entire month. 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.


Prices Paid by Farmers

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

213 (1990-1992=100), is down 1.4 percent from August and down 1.8 percent from September 2012.

Production index: The September index, at 224, decreased 2.2 percent from last month and 3.4 percent from last year.

Lower prices in September for concentrates, nitrogen, feed grains, and mixed fertilizer more than offset higher prices for

feeder cattle, diesel, LP gas, and feeder pigs.

Feed: The September index, at 237, decreased 7.1 percent from August and decreased 17 percent from last September.

Since August, prices for concentrates, feed grains, complete feeds, supplements, and hay & forages are lower.

Livestock and poultry: The September index, at 174, increased 1.8 percent from last month and 11 percent from last

year. Since August, prices for feeder cattle and feeder pigs are higher. The September feeder cattle price, at $153.90 per

cwt, is up $2.20 per cwt from the August price. September feeder pigs averaged $142.00 per cwt, up $8.00 per cwt from

August.

Fertilizer: The September index, at 251, is down 10 percent from August and 22 percent below September a year ago.

Since August, prices for nitrogen, mixed fertilizer, and potash & phosphate are lower.

Chemicals: The September index, at 157, decreased 0.6 percent from August but increased 1.9 percent from last

September. Compared with last month, prices for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides/other are lower.

Fuels: The September index, at 366, is up 1.7 percent from a month earlier but 1.3 percent below September 2012.

Compared with last month, prices are higher for diesel and LP gas but lower for gasoline.

Machinery: The September index, at 263, is unchanged from August but 1.5 percent above last September. Compared

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

Consumer price index: The August 2013 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all

urban consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 233.877 (1982-1984=100). The

July index is 233.596. For the 12 month period ending in August, the overall index increased 1.5 percent.

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 State 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 1, 1995, the National Agricultural Statistics Service updated the weights and

changed the construction of its prices paid and received by farmers’ indexes. A Federal Register Notice dated

October 28, 1994 discussed these program modifications.

A 1990-1992 reference and base period replaced the 1977 reference and 1971-1973 base weight period. Five-year moving

average weights replaced the current fixed 1971-1973 base period weights. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by

statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 1990-1992=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 (adjusted for seasonal marketing patterns for the prices received indexes).
