1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE CONTENTS V
Introduction

HISTORY

For more than 150 years, the U.S. Department of

Commerce, Bureau of the Census, conducted the census

of agriculture. However, the 1997 Appropriations Act transferred the responsibility from the Bureau of the Census to

the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The 1997 Census of

Agriculture is the first census conducted by NASS.

The census of agriculture is taken to obtain agricultural

statistics for each county, State, and the Nation. The first

agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth

decennial census of population. From 1840 to 1950, the

agriculture census was taken as part of the decennial

census. A separate mid-decade census of agriculture was

conducted in 1925, 1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, a

census of agriculture was taken for the years ending in 4

and 9. In 1976, Congress authorized the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and 1982 to adjust the data

reference year so that it coincided with other economic

censuses. This adjustment in timing established the agriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting data for years

ending in 2 and 7.

CENSUS USES

The census of agriculture is the leading source of

statistics about the Nation’s agricultural production and the

only source of consistent, comparable data at the county,

State, and national levels. Census statistics are used by

Congress to develop and change farm programs, study

historical trends, assess current conditions, and plan for

the future. Many national and State programs use census

data to design and allocate funding for extension service

projects, agricultural research, soil conservation programs,

and land-grant colleges and universities. Private industry

uses census statistics to provide a more effective production and distribution system for the agricultural community.

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED

The census of agriculture is required by law under the

‘‘Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,’’ Public Law 105-113

(Title 7, United States Code, Section 2204g). The law

directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a census of

agriculture in 1998 and in every fifth year after, covering the

prior year. The census of agriculture includes each State,

Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the

Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.

FARM DEFINITION

The definition of a farm for census purposes was first

established in 1850. It has been changed nine times since.

The current definition, first used for the 1974 census, is any

place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products

were produced and sold, or normally would have been

sold, during the census year. The farm definition used for

each U.S. territory varies. The report for each territory

includes a discussion of its farm definition.

COMPARABILITY OF DATA

Most data are comparable between the 1997 and 1992

censuses. A few important changes for the 1997 census

may affect comparability for some data. Farms with all

acreage in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) or

Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) are included as farms

in the 1997 census tabulations. For the 1992 census, farms

that had all their acreage in the CRP or WRP were not

included in the census tabulations.

For the 1997 census, farms were classified according to

the new North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS). Due to NAICS, short rotation woody crops, which

includes Christmas trees and maple sap gathering, are

considered crop production. Emus, ostriches, and rhea are

now tabulated in other poultry. In previous agriculture

censuses, farms were classified by the Standard Industrial

Classification System (SIC).

Items removed from the 1997 census:

1. Land diverted under annual commodity adjustment

programs

2. Commodity Credit Corporation loans for honey and

rye

Dollar values for expenses and agricultural product

sales are expressed in current dollars and are not adjusted

for inflation or deflation.

REFERENCE PERIODS

Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and

equipment are measured as of December 31 of the census

year. Crop and livestock production, sales, expenses,

1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION VII

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
income from Federal farm programs, irrigation, Commodity

Credit Corporation loans, Conservation Reserve and Wetlands Reserve Programs, direct sales, chemicals and

fertilizer, farm-related income, and hired workers are measured for the calendar year, except for a few crops (such as

citrus, avocados, and olives) for which the production year

overlaps the calendar year.

TABLES

All of the tables in this report show census counts and

rank for the leading agricultural States and counties for

selected items from the 1997 and 1992 censuses. Statistics from all places qualifying as farms in the 1997 census

are included. Also, accompanying each table are data

showing the cumulative percent of the U.S. total as each

leading State or county is ranked.

For all tables except table 2, the leading States or

counties were determined by the value of the agricultural

resource, inventory, or production item. The State or

county with the largest value for the selected item was

ranked first, the State or county with the next largest value,

second, and so forth.

Tables on all crop items, except fruits and pecans

harvested, present the number of acres harvested along

with the primary quantity of the harvested item, which

determines the rank of State or county. The acres for fruits

and pecans are total acres in the crop. The leading

counties for the primary item are often not the same for the

acres harvested, or acres in crop for fruits or pecans.

Comparative data and rank for the 1992 census are

shown for the leading 1997 States and counties in most of

the tables presented. Depending on the specified item

ranked, the 1992 data and rank may be very similar to

1997.

Total lines for the leading States and counties show the

sums of the data items for the States and counties listed.

The crop tables show rank for both quantity harvested and

acres harvested or acres in crop for fruits and pecans. In

these tables, the primary ranking of the States and counties is by quantity harvested. The related ranking of the

acres harvested is also shown.

QUALIFICATIONS OF DATA AND RANKINGS

Census data for the leading agricultural States and

counties usually indicate agricultural areas of commercial

importance. The leading counties usually account for a

significant part of the U.S. total as shown by the cumulative

statistics in each table. For certain specialty crops and

fruits grown in a few areas, the leading counties account for

nearly all the production. For other more widespread items,

such as alfalfa hay and cattle and calves on farms, the

leading counties account for a smaller proportion of the

U.S. totals.

It is important to note that the rank of counties is based

only on data for the census year. Unusual weather or

economic conditions during 1997 may have had a significant effect on the ranking of counties for certain items in

certain areas. A ranking of counties based on the average

of data for several years would undoubtedly show a

number of differences in the rankings.

Occasionally the ranking of a county may be influenced

by the assignment of all land, agricultural operations, and

sales of farms with land in two or more counties to the

county with the largest value of agricultural products raised

or produced.

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY

In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the United

States Code, no data are published that would disclose the

operations of an individual farm. However, the number of

farms reporting an item is not considered a release of

confidential information and is provided even though other

information may be withheld.

SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM

TABULATIONS

Special studies, such as the 1998 Farm and Ranch

Irrigation Survey and the 1998 Census of Horticultural

Specialties, are part of the census program. These special

studies are for reference year 1998.

Custom-designed tabulations can be developed to individual user specifications on a cost-reimbursable basis.

Inquiries about special tabulations should be directed to

the Director, Census Division, National Agricultural Statistics Service, Room 436 Iverson Mall, 3737 Branch Avenue,

Temple Hills, MD 20748-1405; by phone on 1-800-523-

110 RANKING OF STATES AND COUNTIES 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
Appendix A.

General Explanation

DATA COLLECTION

Method of Enumeration

All agriculture censuses beginning with the 1969 census

have primarily used mailout/mailback data collection for

each State. Direct enumeration methods were used for the

agriculture censuses in Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, and the

Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. Puerto Rico

used mail as the primary contact method, but relied heavily

on telephone and personal interviews and an area frame

survey for followup activity. The report for each territory

includes a discussion of its method of enumeration.

Mail List

The mail list for the 1997 census was comprised of

individuals, businesses, and organizations that could be

identified as associated with agriculture. The list was

assembled from previous census records, USDA mail

registers, and other authorized sources. In an attempt to

maximize the coverage of active farm operators, names

and addresses were obtained from State and Federal

agencies, trade associations, and similar organizations.

The variety of list sources utilized helped insure representation of specialized interests such as nurseries and greenhouses; poultry, fish, and livestock farms; cattle feedlot

operations; maple syrup producers; and Christmas tree

growers.

Lists of companies having one or more establishments/

locations producing agricultural products were obtained

from the 1992 census and updated using information from

the Standard Statistical Establishment List maintained by

the Bureau of the Census. Exhaustive record linkage,

unduplication, and mathematical modeling yielded an initial

mail list of 3.31 million names and addresses which had a

substantial probability of being farm operations.

To refine these 3.31 million names even further, a

screening operation was conducted prior to mailout which

identified about 125,570 names as nonfarms. Finally, NASS’s

State Statistical Offices (SSOs) added approximately 13,000

names which brought the final mail list to approximately 3.2

million.

Report Forms

In 1997, two report forms were used—a sample form

and a nonsample form (which helped minimize respondent

burden). The sample form contained all questions asked

on the nonsample form plus additional questions on commercial fertilizer, chemicals, production expenses, machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, income

from farm-related sources, and hired workers. The additional information collected on the sample forms provided a

good basis for making estimates of these items for all

farms. There were 11 regional versions of the nonsample

form and 13 regional versions of the sample form with the

prelisted crops varying by region. Appendix B contains

copies of the sample form and the information sheet.

The sample form was mailed to approximately 814,000

addresses on the mail list, including 1) all those expected

to be large (based on expected sales or acreage), 2) all

farms operated by multi-establishment companies or nonprofit organizations, 3) all those in Alaska, Hawaii, and

Rhode Island, 4) those in a county that had less than 100

farms in 1992, and 5) a sample of other addressees. The

nonsample form was mailed to the remaining 2.37 million

addressees.

Data Collection Outreach/Promotional Efforts

Promotional and outreach programs were primarily handled

by the NASS State Statistical Offices (SSOs) rather than

from the NASS headquarters; similar programs in past

censuses were conducted from a central, national-level

office. The Census Division of NASS coordinated the

overall effort through the national headquarters of the

various USDA agencies and prepared many materials that

the SSOs could customize to meet their specific requirements.

Information kits containing a mixture of census materials

such as brochures, report forms, fact sheets, press releases,

answers to frequently asked questions, posters, print and

radio/television advertisements, and various other items

were distributed, as appropriate, to many public and private

groups. Also included in these information kits was the

1997 Census of Agriculture Report Form Guide which

described and defined various items in greater detail than

was available in the instructions that accompanied each

report form.

The most common recipients of the information kits were

county service centers, extension offices, farm-supply retail

stores and cooperatives, Farm Service Agency and Natural

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
farmer organizations, commodity groups, State departments of agriculture, commissioners of agriculture, governors, and vocational agriculture instructors. Kits were distributed by mail and through personal visits by field enumerators

and SSO staff.

SSOs worked with the commissioners of agriculture,

governors, and other officials to obtain written proclamations and verbal support of the census in their speeches

and public appearances. To improve the coverage of

minorities, SSOs made special promotional efforts through

direct contacts with 1890 land-grant universities, Native

American tribal leaders, limited resource farm organizations, and women’s associations.

INITIAL MAILING

Most report forms were mailed in late December 1997 to

individuals, businesses, and organizations on the mail list.

Approximately 34,000 report forms were not mailed but

given directly to the SSOs for data collection to ease

respondent burden for operators selected to participate in

other NASS surveys. The mail packages included a report

form with a cover letter, an information sheet containing

instructions for completing the form, and a postage-paid

return envelope. Special instructions were included with

report forms sent to grazing associations, American Indian

reservations, Christmas tree growers, maple producers,

and firms with multiple farm or ranch operations.

For the first time in 1997, the census counted the

number of individual American Indian farmers or ranchers

that operated within the boundaries of American Indian

reservations. Each reservation was asked to complete an

additional one-page report form that asked for the number

of American Indians within their borders who had an

agricultural operation that met the $1,000 sales definition of

a farm. It was not required that these operators be individually listed by name to be counted.

Followup Procedures

A thank you/reminder card was mailed to everyone on

the mail list in early January 1998. In mid-February and

again in late March, a followup letter, census report form,

and information sheet were sent to each nonrespondent.

Telephone calling began in the State offices in early

February. Calls were made to 1992 Census nonrespondents who had not yet responded to the 1997 Census of

Agriculture. In early March, telephone calls were made to

operators of large farms who had not responded. In

addition, from early April until late May, telephone calls

were made to all remaining nonrespondents to encourage

them to respond to the census and to ensure a minimum 75

percent response rate in each county in the U.S. A

nonresponse adjustment procedure was used to represent

the final nonrespondent farms in the census results.

DATA CHANGES

Prior to each agriculture census, the content of the

census report forms and publication tables is reviewed to

eliminate items no longer needed, identify necessary new

items, and modify existing items to better describe the

agricultural situation in the Nation. Data requests are

solicited from farm organizations, land-grant colleges and

universities, State and Federal agencies, State departments of agriculture, agribusinesses, the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and others. Each user is asked

to identify and justify its specific data needs. The following

paragraphs explain the major changes made to the 1997

census data.

In 1992, farms that had all their acreage in the Conservation Reserve Program or Wetlands Reserve Program

were not included in the data for all farms. For the 1997

census, these farms are included in the data for all farms.

For the 1997 census, data for land under Federal

acreage reduction programs and Commodity Credit Corporation loans for honey and rye were not included,

because these items were eliminated by the 1996 Farm

Bill.

The following data inquiries were added: 1) Cut Christmas trees harvested, 2) Short rotation woody crops, 3)

Maple trees tapped, and 4) Number of American Indian

operators on reservations (obtained by an additional form

mailed to each reservation).

DATA PROCESSING

Selected report forms, including those with attached

correspondence, remarks, or no positive data on the front

page, were reviewed prior to data keying.

The data from each report form were subjected to a

detailed item-by-item computer edit. The edit performed

comprehensive checks for consistency and reasonableness, corrected erroneous or inconsistent data, supplied

missing data based on similar farms within the same

county, and assigned farm classification codes necessary

for tabulating the data. Substantial computer-generated

changes to the data were clerically reviewed and verified.

In the computer edit, farms with sales, acreage, or

commodities exceeding specified levels were tested for

historical comparability. Key items, such as acreage and

sales, were compared for substantial changes between

1992 and 1997. Sizeable historical differences were resolved

or verified by telephone. Prior to publication, tabulated

totals for each State were reviewed by State statisticians to

identify inconsistencies and potential coverage problems.

Comparisons were made with previous census data, official NASS Agricultural Statistics Board numbers, and other

available check data.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

The following definitions and explanations provide a

detailed description of specific terms and phrases used in

this publication. For an exact wording of the questions on

the 1997 census report forms and the information sheet

which accompanied these forms, see Appendix B. Most

definitions of terms are the same as those used in earlier

censuses. The more important exceptions are noted here.

A-2 APPENDIX A 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Acres and quantity harvested. Crops were reported in

whole acres, except for the following crops which were

reported in 10ths of acres: potatoes, sweetpotatoes, tobacco,

fruit and nut crops including land in orchards, berries,

vegetables, nursery and greenhouse crops in the open,

and in Hawaii, taro, ginger root, and lotus root. Totals for

crops reported in 10ths of acres were rounded to whole

acres at the aggregate level during the tabulation process.

Ginseng was reported in 10ths of acres for Wisconsin and

Michigan, and it is published in 10ths of acres for all States.

Nursery and greenhouse crops grown under glass or other

protection were reported in square feet and are published

in square feet.

If two or more crops were harvested from the same land

during the year, the acres were counted for each crop.

Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested generally

exceeded the acres of cropland harvested. An exception to

this procedure was hay crops.

When more than one cutting of hay was taken from the

same acres, the acres were counted only once but the

quantity harvested included all cuttings. Hay cut for both

dry hay and green chop or silage was to be reported for

each applicable crop. For interplanted crops or ‘‘skip-row’’

crops, acres were to be reported according to the portion of

the field occupied by each crop.

If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acres were

not to be reported as harvested. These acres were to be

reported in the ‘‘land use’’ section under the appropriate

cropland items—cropland used only for pasture or grazing,

cropland used for cover crops, cropland on which all crops

failed, cropland in cultivated summer fallow, or cropland

idle.

Corn and sorghum, hogged or grazed, were to be

reported as ‘‘cropland harvested’’ and not as ‘‘cropland

used only for pasture or grazing.’’ Crop residue left in fields

and later hogged or grazed was not reported as cropland

pasture.

Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as

vegetables; nursery and greenhouse crops; corn cut for dry

fodder, hogged or grazed; and sorghum, hogged or grazed.

Acres of land in bearing and nonbearing fruit orchards,

citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees were to be

reported as harvested cropland regardless of whether the

crop was harvested or failed. However, abandoned orchards

were to be reported as cropland idle, not as harvested

cropland, and the individual abandoned orchard crop acres

were not to be reported.

Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer. For

each type of agricultural chemical, the acres treated were

to be reported only once even if the acres were fertilized or

treated more than once. If multipurpose chemicals were

used, the acres treated for each purpose were to be

reported.

Alfalfa. See Hay-alfalfa, other tame, small grain, wild,

grass silage, green chop, etc.-Alfalfa hay harvested.

Chemicals. See Agricultural chemicals used, including

fertilizer; Total farm production expenses-Agricultural chemicals.

Cherries. Cherries were reported as sweet cherries, tart

cherries, or cherries depending on the regional form the

respondent completed. On regional forms for States where

cherries were an important fruit crop, sweet cherries and

tart cherries were listed separately. On the other regional

forms, cherries were prelisted or could be written in. For

publication purposes, total cherries could be shown along

with the individual breakdown of sweet cherries, tart cherries, or nonspecified cherries. Nonspecified cherries were

used to account for cherries where the sweet and tart

breakdown was not asked or where respondents wrote in

cherries but did not specify or code the kind of cherry. All

the individual cherry items may not be shown for a given

State.

Chickens 3 months old or older. See Layers and pullets

13 weeks old and older inventory.

Citrus enumeration. Census reports for selected citrus

caretakers in Arizona, Florida, and Texas were obtained by

direct enumeration. A citrus caretaker is an organization or

person caring for or managing citrus groves for others. This

special enumeration has been used since 1969 because of

the difficulty in identifying and enumerating absentee grove

owners who often do not know the information that is

needed to adequately complete the census report form.

Each citrus caretaker was enumerated as a farm operator and requested to complete one report form for all

groves cared for and to furnish a list of grove owners’

names, addresses, and acres of citrus. The names on the

lists were matched to completed grove owners’ report

forms to eliminate duplication. The caretaker also was

requested to inform the grove owner that he/she had

already reported for the citrus under his/her care and that

the grove owner was not to report the citrus again. In the

1997 census, 16 caretakers in Arizona reported 120 grove

owners having 19,100 acres of citrus; 75 caretakers in

Florida reported 1,950 grove owners having 142,000 acres

of citrus; and 10 caretakers in Texas reported 330 grove

owners having 13,000 acres of citrus.

Combined government payments and market value of

agricultural products sold (Table 18). This table can be

compared to data by market value of agricultural products

sold in table 23 to analyze the difference in economic size

when government payments are added to value of sales.

Combined sales and government payments may be a

better measure of economic size of farm, because government payments coupled with sales represent all incoming

resources of an operation.

Commodity Credit Corporation loans. This category

includes loans for corn, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, barley,

oats, cotton, sunflower seed, flaxseed, safflower, canola,

1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
other rapeseed, mustard seed, peanuts, rice, and tobacco.

Honey and rye were removed for 1997 due to their

exclusion from the 1996 farm bill.

Conservation Reserve Programs or Wetlands Reserve

Programs. See Cropland in the Conservation Reserve

Programs (CRP) or Wetlands Reserve Programs (WRP).

Crop units of measure-field crops. The regional report

forms allowed the operator to report the quantity of field

crops harvested in a unit of measure commonly used in the

region. When the operator reported in units different than

the unit of measure published, the quantity harvested was

converted to the published unit of measure.

Crop units of measure-fruit crops. For fruit, citrus, and

nut crops the operator was given a choice of reporting the

units of measure in pounds, tons, boxes, or bins.

Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity

harvested are for the calendar year 1997 except for citrus

fruits, avocados, vegetables, and sugarcane for sugar in

Florida; sugarcane for sugar and citrus fruits in Texas;

pineapples and coffee in Hawaii; and avocados and olives

in California.

Citrus fruits. The data for Florida relate to the quantity

harvested in the September 1996 through July 1997 harvest season, except limes and avocados that were harvested in the April 1997 through March 1998 harvest

season. The data for Texas relate to the quantity harvested

in the September 1996 through May 1997 harvest season.

The data for States other than Florida and Texas relate to

the quantity harvested in the 1996-97 harvest season.

Vegetables. The data for Florida relate to the crop harvested from September 1996 through August 1997.

Cropland, harvested. See Harvested cropland.

Cropland in the Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP)

or Wetlands Reserve Programs (WRP). These categories include acres of ‘‘highly erodible’’ cropland taken out of

agricultural production and planted in protective cover

crops or reforested. The Food, Agriculture, Conservation,

and Trade Act of 1990 amended the Conservation Reserve

Program (CRP) authorized by the Food Security Act of

1985. The 1990 Act continued the CRP and put greater

emphasis on preserving and upgrading water quality by

establishing a WRP that provides for annual rental payments and shared costs of conservation practices through

a minimum 10-year contract with the USDA. For the 1997

census, places with land enrolled in the CRP or WRP were

counted as farms, given they received $1,000 or more in

government payments, even if they had no sales and

otherwise lacked the potential to have $1,000 or more in

sales.

Cropland, irrigated. See Irrigated land.

Cropland, total. See Total cropland.

Data are based on a sample of farms. For censuses

since 1978, selected data were collected from only a

sample of farms. These data are subject to sampling error.

For 1997, the sample form was mailed to approximately 25

percent of all farms, including all large and specialized

farms (based on expected sales, acres, or standard industrial classification), and all farms in Alaska, Hawaii, and

Rhode Island. Sections 21 through 27 of the 1997 sample

form included questions on commercial fertilizer, chemicals, production expenses, machinery and equipment,

value of land and buildings, income from farm-related

sources.

Direct sales to consumers. See Value of agricultural

products sold directly to individuals for human consumption.

Expenses. See Total farm production expenses.

Expenses for hired farm labor. Data are for total hired

farm workers, including paid family members.

Farms or farms reporting. The terms ‘‘farms’’ and

‘‘farms reporting’’ in the presentation of data denote the

number of farms reporting the item. For example, if there

are 3,710 farms in a State and 842 of them had 28,594

cattle and calves, the data for those farms reporting cattle

and calves would appear as:

Cattle and calves ................ farms..... 842

number..... 28,594

Fertilizer. See Total farm production expenses-Commercial

fertilizer.

Government payments. This category consists of direct

cash payments received by the farm operator in 1997. It

includes disaster payments; transition payments from prior

participation; payments from Conservation Reserve Programs, the Wetlands Reserve Programs, and other conservation programs; and all other Federal farm programs

under which payments were made directly to farm operators.

Grapes. Farm operators were given the option of reporting the quantity of grapes harvested in dry weight or fresh

weight. For publication purposes, all quantities of grapes

harvested were converted to pounds fresh weight. The

conversion used was 4.20 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound

dry weight.

Harvested cropland. This category includes land from

which crops were harvested or hay was cut, and land in

orchards, citrus groves, Christmas trees, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from which two or more

crops were harvested was counted only once. Land in

tapped maple trees is included in woodland not pastured.

A-4 APPENDIX A 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Hay—alfalfa, other tame, small grain, wild, grass silage,

green chop, etc. Data shown for hay represent all hay

crops, including grass silage, haylage, and hay crops cut

and fed green (green chop). In production data, dry tons

represents dry tonnage for the various hay categories and

dry weight equivalents for grass silage and hay cut and fed

green. The conversion used was 3 tons of green weight to

1 ton of dry weight.

Alfalfa hay harvested. Data represent dry tons of alfalfa

hay harvested.

Hay-tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild

hay. Data shown represent dry tons of hay harvested from

clover, lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudan grass,

and other types of legume and tame grasses.

Hens and pullets of laying age. See Layers 20 weeks

old and older inventory.

Income. See Net cash return from agricultural sales for

the farm unit.

Irish potatoes. See Potatoes, excluding sweetpotatoes.

Irrigated land. This category includes all land watered by

any artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers,

flooding, furrows or ditches, and spreader dikes. Included

are supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each

acre was to be counted only once regardless of the number

of times it was irrigated or harvested.

Land in farms. The acreage designated as ‘‘land in

farms’’ consists primarily of agricultural land used for crops,

pasture, or grazing. It also includes woodland and wasteland not actually under cultivation or used for pasture or

grazing, provided it was part of the farm operator’s total

operation. Large acreages of woodland or wasteland held

for nonagricultural purposes were deleted from individual

reports during the processing operations. Land in farms

includes acres in the Conservation Reserve and Wetlands

Reserve Programs.

Land in farms is an operating unit concept and includes

land owned and operated as well as land rented from

others. Land used rent free was to be reported as land

rented from others. All grazing land, except land used

under government permits on a per-head basis, was

included as ‘‘land in farms’’ provided it was part of a farm or

ranch. Land under the exclusive use of a grazing association was to be reported by the grazing association and

included as land in farms. All land in American Indian

reservations used for growing crops or grazing livestock

was to be included as land in farms. Land in reservations

not reported by individual American Indians or non-Native

Americans was to be reported in the name of the cooperative group that used the land. In many instances, an entire

American Indian reservation was reported as one farm.

Land in orchards. This category includes land in bearing

and nonbearing fruit trees, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, including land on which all

fruit crops failed. Respondents were instructed not to report

abandoned plantings and plantings of fewer than 20 total

fruit, citrus, or nut trees, or grapevines.

Land in two or more counties. With few exceptions, the

land in each farm was tabulated as being in the operator’s

principal county. The principal county was defined as the

one where the largest value of agricultural products was

raised or produced. It was usually the county containing all

or the largest proportion of the land in the farm or viewed by

the respondent as his/her principal county. For a limited

number of Midwest and Western States, this procedure

resulted in the allocation of more land in farms to a county

than the total land area of the county. To minimize this

distortion, separate reports were required for large farms

identified in the 1992 census as having more than one farm

unit. Other reports received showing land in more than one

county were separated into two or more reports if the data

would substantially affect the county totals.

Layers 20 weeks old and older inventory. This category includes layer hens in molt and other layer hens and

pullets 20 weeks old and older. In the 1992 census this

category was referred to as ‘‘Hens and pullets of laying

age.’’ This is only a wording change; the data are comparable to 1992.

Layers and pullets 13 weeks old and older inventory.

This category includes layer hens in molt and other layer

hens and pullets 13 weeks old and older. In the 1992

census this category was referred to as ‘‘Chickens 3

months old or older.’’ This is only a wording change; the

data are comparable to 1992.

Market value of agricultural products sold. This category represents the gross market value before taxes and

production expenses of all agricultural products sold or

removed from the place in 1997 regardless of who received

the payment. It includes sales by the operator as well as

the value of any shares received by partners, landlords,

contractors, or others associated with the operation. In

addition, it includes receipts from placing commodities in

the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan program in

1997. It does not include payments received for participation in other Federal farm programs, nor does it include

income from farm-related sources such as customwork

and other agricultural services, or income from nonfarm

sources.

The value of crops sold in 1997 does not necessarily

represent the sales from crops harvested in 1997. Data

may include sales from crops produced in earlier years and

may exclude some crops produced in 1997 but held in

storage and not sold. For commodities, such as sugar

beets and wool, sold through a co-op which made payments in several installments, respondents were requested

to report the total value received in 1997.

1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
The value of agricultural products sold was requested of

all operators. If the operator failed to report this information,

estimates were made based on the amount of crops

harvested, livestock or poultry inventory, or number sold.

Extensive estimation was required for operators growing

crops or livestock under contract.

Caution should be used when comparing sales in 1997

with sales reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures are

expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted

for inflation or deflation.

Misreported or miscoded crops. In a few cases data

may have been reported on the wrong line, in the wrong

section, or the wrong crop code may have been assigned

to a small number of write-in crops. A few of these errors

may not have been identified and corrected during processing which resulted in rare cases of inaccurately tabulated

data. Reports with significant acres of unusual crops for the

area were examined to minimize the possibility that they

were in error.

Net cash return from agricultural sales for the farm

unit. Net cash return is derived by subtracting total

operating expenditures from the gross market value of

agricultural products sold. Both gross sales and production

expenditures include sales and expenses of the farm

operator as well as those of partners, landlords, and

contractors. Therefore, the net cash return is that of the

farm unit rather than the net farm income of the operator.

Consequently, while the net cash return of a contractee

grower could be negative, the actual return could be

positive, meaning the integrator/contractor was absorbing

an even larger loss on the growout operation. Oftentimes,

these losses are offset by later gains from further processing. Conversely, a very high net cash return is usually

shared between an integrator/contractor and a contractee

grower and should not be viewed totally as a return to the

contractee grower.

Operating expenses used in calculating net cash return

do not include depreciation or changes in inventory values.

Expenses may have been understated on farms renting

land from others because taxes paid by landlords are

excluded, and insurance and other landlord expenses not

readily known to renters may have been omitted or underestimated.

Nursery and greenhouse crops grown for sale. These

data are summations of the individual items reported. All of

the individual items may not be shown.

Other livestock and livestock products. This category

includes all livestock and livestock products not having

specific codes on the 1997 report form.

Other nursery and greenhouse crops. Data for ‘‘Other

nursery and greenhouse crops’’ include acres of uncut

Christmas trees with minimum sales of $1,000. Also included

are acres and sales of short rotation woody crops.

Plums and prunes. Farm operators were given the

option of reporting the quantity of plums and prunes

harvested in dry weight or fresh weight. For publication

purposes, all quantities of plums and prunes harvested

have been converted to pounds of fresh weight. The

conversion used was 3.00 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound

dry weight.

Potatoes, excluding sweetpotatoes. In 1992, this item

was referred to as Irish potatoes. This is only a wording

change; all data are comparable.

Production expenses. See Total farm production expenses.

Pullet chicks and pullets less than 20 weeks old sold.

This category includes all pullets and pullet chicks less

than 20 weeks old. In the 1992 census this category was

referred to as ‘‘Pullet chicks and pullets under 3 months

old.’’ This is only a wording change; the data are comparable to 1992.

Tame hay. See Hay-alfalfa, other tame, small grain, wild,

grass silage, green chop, etc.--Hay-tame hay other than

alfalfa, small grain, and wild hay.

Total cropland. This category includes land from which

crops were harvested or hay was cut; land in orchards,

citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses; cropland used only for pasture or grazing; land in cover crops,

legumes, and soil-improvement grasses; land on which all

crops failed; land in cultivated summer fallow; and idle

cropland.

Total farm production expenses. Includes the share of

the expenditures provided by landlords, contractors, and

partners in the operation of the farm business. Expenses

were limited to those incurred in the operation of the farm

business. Property taxes paid by landlords were excluded.

Also excluded were expenditures for nonfarm activities;

farm-related activities such as providing customwork for

others, producing and harvesting forest products, and

providing recreational services; and household expenses.

In 1997, as in other recent censuses, operators producing

crops, livestock, or poultry under contract often were

unable or unwilling to estimate the cost of production inputs

furnished by the contractors. As a consequence, extensive

estimation for some expenditure items was required for

contract producers. Explanations of selected production

expenses are listed below.

Agricultural chemicals. These expenses include the cost

of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other pesticides, including costs of custom application. Data exclude

commercial fertilizer purchased.

Commercial fertilizer. The expense for commercial fertilizer is the amount spent on all forms of fertilizer including

rock phosphate and gypsum. It also includes the cost of

custom application.

A-6 APPENDIX A 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Feed for livestock and poultry. These expenses include

the cost of all feed for livestock and poultry including grain,

hay, silage, mixed feeds, concentrates, etc.

Hired farm or ranch labor. These expenses include the

total amount paid for farm or ranch labor, including regular

workers, part-time workers, and members of the operator’s

family if they received payments for labor. It includes social

security taxes, State taxes, unemployment tax, payment

for sick leave or vacation pay, workman’s compensation,

insurance premiums, and pension plans.

Interest. In 1997, 1992 and 1987, separate data were

collected for interest paid on debts secured by real estate

and interest paid on debts not secured by real estate.

Livestock and poultry purchased. These expenses

include the total amount spent by the operator, his/her

landlord, and by others for all livestock and poultry bought

during 1997 for production on the farm or ranch. The total

includes amounts spent for cattle, calves, hogs, pigs,

sheep, hatchery eggs, etc. Estimations of the value of

livestock or poultry grown under contract or fed on a

custom basis were to be made based on their value when

they arrived on the farm or ranch.

Total sales. This item represents the gross market value

of all agricultural products sold before taxes and expenses

in the census year including, livestock, poultry, and their

products, and crops, including nursery and greenhouse

crops, and hay. Respondents were asked to include landlords’ and contractors’ shares. The value of commodities

placed in CCC loans is included as sold. All farms were

tabulated by size based on reported sales.

Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals for human consumption. This item represents the

value of agricultural products produced and sold directly to

individuals for human consumption from roadside stands,

farmers’ markets, pick-your-own sites, etc. It excludes

nonedible products such as nursery crops, cut flowers,

wool, etc. Sales of agricultural products by vertically integrated operations through their own processing and marketing operations were excluded.

Value of land and buildings. Respondents were asked

to report their estimate of the current market value of land

and buildings owned, rented or leased from others, and

rented or leased to others. Market value refers to the value

the land and buildings would sell for under current market

conditions. If the value of land and buildings was not

reported, it was estimated using the average value of land

and buildings from a similar farm in the same geographic

area.

Vegetables harvested for sale. The acres of vegetables

harvested is the summation of the acres of individual

vegetables harvested.

Wheat for grain. Wheat was listed on the report form

separately or in combinations by type as listed below,

depending on the regional report form completed by the

respondent.

Wheat for grain

Winter wheat for grain

Spring wheat for grain

Durum wheat for grain

Spring wheat, other than durum, for grain

For publication, wheat was shown separately or in

combinations by type as listed below, depending on the

State for which it was published.

Wheat for grain, total

Winter wheat for grain

Spring wheat for grain

Durum wheat for grain

Other spring wheat for grain

Non-specified wheat for grain

The wheat by type (winter, spring, durum, and other

spring) breakdown was published for States where more

than one type was commonly produced; however, all the

types may not be shown. Non-specified wheat was shown

when a type not commonly produced in a State was

reported on a report form not intended for use for that State

or when reporting errors were suspected.

Write-in crops. To reduce the length of the report form,

only the major crops for each region were prelisted. For

other crops, the respondent was asked to look at a list of

crops in each section and write in the crop name and its

code. For crops that had no individual code listed on the

report form, the respondent was to write in the crop name

and code into the appropriate ‘‘all other’’ category for that

section. Write-in crops coded as ‘‘all other’’ were reviewed

and assigned a specific code when possible. Crops not

assigned a specific code were left in the appropriate ‘‘all

other’’ category.

In some cases, the reviewers were unable to determine

the specific crop reported by the respondent because of

incomplete or generalized crop names. To ensure proper

coding, most of these respondents were telephoned. Reports

for those not telephoned were changed on the basis of

other reports for the area.

STATISTICAL METHODOLOGY

Two types of errors—sampling and nonsampling—were

possible in the estimates resulting from the 1997 Census of

Agriculture. Sampling errors in the census data resulted

from the nonresponse sample and the census sample data

collection. Nonsampling errors arose from many sources,

including respondent or enumerator error; incorrect data

keying; editing; imputing for missing data; mail list incompleteness and duplication; and misclassification of records

1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-7

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
on the mail list. Extensive efforts were made to minimize

both types of errors through efficient sample designs,

quality control, verification, and clerical review of specific

operations.

Since there were two sources of sampling error, as

mentioned above, two types of statistical estimation procedures were used. These estimation procedures accounted

for whole farm nonresponse and sample data collection.

These procedures were necessary because some farm

operators never responded to the census despite numerous attempts to contact them, and because estimates for

certain data items were based on a sample of farm

operators rather than on a full enumeration. The statistics

in this report are estimates derived from these procedures.

For a complete and detailed explanation of the statistical

methodology, and the reliability of census estimates, see

1997 UNITED STATES CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

Special Reporting Instructions

Who Should Report – WE NEED A REPLY FROM EVERYONE

RECEIVING A REPORT FORM, INCLUDING individuals, landlords,

tenants, partnerships, corporations, institutions, and THOSE NOT

CONDUCTING AGRICULTURAL OPERATIONS. Each name and

address included in the census has a unique Census File Number

(CFN). In order to make the census results as complete and

accurate as possible, we need every report form returned,

whether you farm or not.

If You Received More Than One Report Form for the Same

Operation – Complete only ONE report form for that operation.

Write "Duplicate" near the address label of each extra report

form. Also, write the 12-character census file number(s) of the

EXTRA report(s) ON THE COMPLETED REPORT in the space

provided below and to the right of the address label. Return the

extra report(s) in the same envelope with your completed report

form so that we can correct our records.

If You No Longer Farm – If you had agricultural operations for

any part of 1997, please report all agricultural activity during that

portion of the year. Report all land on your census form that you

owned or rented. Also, report your 1997 crop and livestock

production and 1997 sales.

If You Quit Farming During 1997 – Complete the report form

for the portion of the year that you did farm. Explain on the

report form in the space to the left of the address label (or on

another sheet of paper) when you stopped farming and include,

if known, the name and address of the person now using the

land and/or buildings.

If You Never Farmed or Have No Association With

Agriculture – Please write a note on the report form near the

address label explaining this and return the form so that we can

correct our records. In our efforts to make the census as

complete as possible, we obtained lists from various sources.

We tried to eliminate nonfarm addresses; however, it was not

always possible to do so.

If You Have More Than One Agricultural Operation –

Complete a report form for EACH SEPARATE and DISTINCT

production unit, i.e., each individual farm, ranch, feedlot,

greenhouse, etc., for which you maintain SEPARATE operating

expense and/or production records including livestock and other

inventories and crop acreages.

If You Have a Partnership Operation – Complete only ONE

report form for the entire partnership’s agricultural operation and

include all partners’ shares on that report. If members of the

partnership operate separate farms or ranches in addition to the

partnership farming operation, separate report forms should be

completed for each individual operation.

If two or more report forms were received for the same

operation, mark each additional form as a "Duplicate." Return the

extra report(s) in the same envelope with the completed

partnership report, where possible, or write a note on the extra

report(s), such as, "(Name of partner) has already completed a

report for the partnership (provide name and CFN of

partnership)."

Landlord’s or Contractor’s Share – If you rented or leased

land from others or had a contract for the production of

agricultural products, include both your share and the landlord’s

or contractor’s share of the production, sales, and expenses so

your census report form will be complete for "THIS PLACE."

If you DO NOT know or DO NOT have records available for the

landlord’s or contractor’s share, report your BEST ESTIMATE.

How to Enter Your Response – Enter your replies in the

proper spaces, on the correct lines, and in the units requested,

i.e., dollars, bushels, tons, etc. Write any explanation outside the

answer spaces or on a separate sheet of paper.

All dollar figures should be entered in whole dollars. CENTS ARE

NOT REQUIRED.

Enter whole numbers except where tenths are requested, such

as acres of potatoes harvested. If you have 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 of an

acre, convert to tenths. For example, convert 1/2 to 5/10, 1/3 to

3/10, 1/4 to 2/10.

The census report form may contain sections and questions

which DO NOT apply to you. When this occurs, mark the "None"

or "No" box and go on to the next item or section.

B–14 APPENDIX B 1997 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

97-A02(I) (2-7-97) Page 2

How to Report Crops Harvested

Sections 2 through 8 – CROPS

Sections 2 through 8 provide space for reporting crops harvested

during the 1997 crop year from the land shown in section 1, item

4 (Acres in "THIS PLACE") of your report. Please report your

crops in the appropriate sections. DO NOT include any crops

grown on land rented or leased TO OTHERS, or worked by

others on shares during 1997.

Acres harvested – Enter the acres harvested in 1997. Round

fractions to whole acres except where tenths are requested by

"/10" in the reporting box, such as for potatoes.

Quantity harvested – If your unit of measure is different than

the unit on the report form, please convert your figure for the

quantity harvested to the unit requested. If the harvest was

incomplete by December 31, 1997, please report the quantity

harvested and the estimated quantity to be harvested.

Acres irrigated – For each crop irrigated, report number of

acres irrigated. Irrigation is defined as land watered by artificial

or controlled means – sprinklers, furrows or ditches, spreader

dikes, purposeful flooding, etc. Include acres that received

supplemental, partial, and/or preplant irrigation. DO NOT report

water applied in transplanting tobacco plants, trees, or

vegetables as irrigation. Leave "Acres irrigated" blank for crops

that are not irrigated.

Double Cropping – If two or more crops were harvested from

the same land (double cropping), report the total acres and

production of each harvested crop in the appropriate section(s)

of the report form.

Example: In 1997, you harvested 1,230 bushels of wheat from 40

acres, then on the same 40 acres planted soybeans, from which

you harvested 1,550 bushels. You irrigated the soybeans but not

the wheat.

Interplanted Crops – If two crops were grown at the same time

in alternating strips in the same field, report the portion of the

field used for each crop.

Example: A 60-acre field was planted in cotton and soybeans

with two rows of cotton, followed by an area of the same width

planted in soybeans. Thirty acres of soybeans and 30 acres of

cotton would be reported in the appropriate section(s).

Skip Row Planting – If a crop is planted in an alternating

pattern of planted and non-planted rows, such as two rows

planted and two rows skipped (2 X 2), report the portion of the

field occupied by the crop in the appropriate section for that

crop, and report the skipped portion as "Cropland idle" in 

section 10, item 1f.

Sections 2 and 3 – Report only for the listed crops.

Sections 4 through 8 – To report: (1) find the crop name and

the code number from the list in the section; (2) enter crop name

and code in the first two columns of the first available answer

line in the section; (3) enter the information that is requested in

the remaining columns. If you harvested a crop not listed in

sections 4 through 8, use the "Other" code in the appropriate

section and specify the crop name.

Section 4 – NURSERY AND GREENHOUSE CROPS

Report Christmas trees grown on this place and sold live as

nursery crops, code 488. Report Christmas trees grown on this

place and sold as cut Christmas trees in code 491. Acres of

Christmas trees to be cut in later years should be reported as

other nursery and greenhouse, code 506.

Section 5 – VEGETABLES

Report acres of vegetables harvested FOR SALE or commercial

processing. DO NOT include vegetables grown for home use.

Report the total acreage of each vegetable crop harvested.

Example: In 1997, you harvested 10 acres of lettuce from a field,

then replanted the field in lettuce and harvested the 10 acres

again. Both crops of lettuce were irrigated. Enter only 10 acres of

land from which vegetables were harvested and 10 acres

irrigated in item 1 of section 5, but write in 20 acres of lettuce

harvested and 20 acres of lettuce irrigated in item 2 of section 5.

Section 7 – OTHER CROPS

Maple Trees Tapped – Report acres of tapped maple trees

(sugar bush) on this place in code 799. Report the number of

taps from which you gathered sap as the quantity harvested.

Section 8 – FRUITS AND NUTS

In counting the combined total of 20 or more trees and vines,

include those for home use as well as those maintained for sale

of the production. Acres in trees or vines that have been

abandoned should not be included; these acres should be

included in section 10, item 1f "Cropland idle."
