Survey Procedures: Questionnaires are mailed about the 24th of each month to all operators on thelist of approximately 1,400 public and private cold storage warehouses. In addition, apple data areobtained from special surveys and other sources (State Departments of Agriculture, U.S. AppleAssociation, etc.). All survey data represent stocks as of the end of the month.

Data are collected from warehouses artificially cooled to a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit orlower, and whose food products are normally stored for 30 days or more. All food items in thesefacilities are reported regardless of the number of days stored at the time of the report. Also includedare specialized storage facilities meeting the 30 day requirement, such as fruit houses, dairymanufacturing plants, frozen fruit, fruit juice, and vegetable processors, and poultry and meat packingplants. Excluded are stocks in space maintained by wholesalers, jobbers, distributors, chain stores,locker plants containing individual lockers, meat packer branch houses, and frozen food processorswhose entire inventories are turned over more than once a month.

Estimating Procedures: Data for reporting firms are added to estimates for non-reporting firms toobtain regional and National totals. Estimates for non-reporting firms are obtained by multiplying theprevious month's figure by a percent change from the previous month. The percent change iscalculated for each item from totals of the current and previous month summed from firms thatreported both months.

Revision Policy: Data are revised the following month based on late reports or corrected data. Finalfigures are published in the annual summary in February of the following year.

Reliability: Reports are received from 900 firms each month which represent about 70 percent of thetotal capacity. Firms that are not on the list or firms who have never reported are not represented inthe data. Monthly data can vary due to different firms reporting month to month. Survey data arealso subject to non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in processing thedata. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized by carefully reviewing allreported data for consistency and reasonableness.
