The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the 2017 Census of Agriculture, 

analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census provides a comprehensive picture of U.S. agriculture in 2017, and 

NASS recognizes and appreciates that many individuals and organizations contributed to the effort. 

Most importantly, the success of the agriculture census depends directly on the cooperation of farmers and ranchers across the country. 

Recognizing that participating in the census is their responsibility and gives them a voice in their future, agricultural producers took the 

time to provide the information requested. We are grateful to every producer who participated in the 2017 census. 

Also essential were the many partners who communicated about the census and encouraged producers to respond. Farm organizations, 

stakeholder groups, agriculture media, community-based organizations, and land grant and other universities helped build awareness of 

the census and its importance to producers, their communities, and U.S. agriculture as a whole. We appreciate their help in reaching all 

kinds of agricultural operations, thereby ensuring a comprehensive census. 

Various USDA agencies and State departments of agriculture provided valuable advice during the planning, data collection, and 

processing phases of the census, as well as critical assistance at the local level to farmers and ranchers completing census forms. Our 

thanks to them and to the enumerators who collected data locally through NASS’ cooperative agreement with the National Association 

of State Departments of Agriculture. 

Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics offered advice on census questions, as well as their strong and consistent 

support and thoughtful recommendations for census and other programs. Representatives of public and private organizations provided 

input as well.

Finally, we acknowledge and appreciate the support services of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Processing Center in 

Jeffersonville, IN.

Introduction

HISTORY

The 2017 Census of Agriculture is the 29th Federal census 

of agriculture and the fifth conducted by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS). The U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Bureau of the Census conducted the census of 

agriculture for 156 years (1840-1996). The 1997 

Appropriations Act contained a provision that transferred 

the responsibility for the census of agriculture to NASS. 

The history of collecting data on U.S. agriculture dates 

back as far as President George Washington, who kept 

meticulous statistical records describing his own and other 

farms. In 1791, President Washington wrote to farmers 

requesting information on land values, crop acreages, crop 

yields, livestock prices, and taxes. Washington compiled 

the results on an area extending roughly 250 miles from 

north to south and 100 miles from east to west which today 

lies in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, 

and the District of Columbia, where most of the young 

country’s population lived. In effect, Washington’s inquiry 

was an attempt to fulfill the need for sound agricultural 

data for a nation that was heavily reliant on the success of 

agriculture. Such informal inquiries worked while the 

Nation was young, but were insufficient as the country 

expanded. 

In 1839, Congress appropriated $1,000 for “carrying out 

agricultural investigations, and procuring agricultural 

statistics.” The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 

as part of the sixth decennial census of population. As the 

country expanded and agriculture evolved, the decade 

between censuses became too long an interval to capture 

the changes in agricultural production. After the 1920 

census, the census interval was changed to every five years 

resulting in a separate, mid-decade census of agriculture 

that was conducted in 1925, 1935, and 1945. The 

agriculture census continued as part of the decennial 

census through 1950. From 1954 to 1974, the census was 

taken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, Congress 

authorized the census of agriculture for 1978 and 1982 to 

adjust the data reference year so it coincided with other 

economic censuses. This adjustment in timing established 

the census of agriculture on a 5-year cycle collecting data 

for years ending in 2 and 7. 

USES OF CENSUS DATA

The census of agriculture provides a detailed picture of 

U.S. farms and ranches every five years. It is the leading 

source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data for 

every State and county or county equivalent. Census of 

agriculture data are routinely used by agriculture 

organizations, businesses, State departments of 

agriculture, elected representatives and legislative bodies 

at all levels of government, public and private sector 

analysts, the news media, and colleges and universities. 

Census of agriculture data are frequently used to:

• Show the importance and value of agriculture at the 

county, State, and national levels; 

• Provide agricultural news media and agricultural 

associations benchmark statistics for stories and articles 

on U.S. agriculture and the foods we produce;

• Compare the income and costs of production;

• Provide important data about the demographics and 

financial well-being of producers;

• Evaluate historical agricultural trends to formulate farm 

and rural policies and develop programs that help 

agricultural producers;

• Allocate local and national funds for farm programs, 

e.g. extension service projects, agricultural research, 

soil conservation programs, and land-grant colleges and 

universities;

• Identify the assets needed to support agricultural 

production such as land, buildings, machinery, and 

other equipment; 

• Create an extensive database of information on 

uncommon crops and livestock and the value of those 

commodities for assessing the need to develop policies 

and programs to support those commodities; 

• Provide geographic data on production so 

agribusinesses will locate near major production areas 

for efficiencies for both producers and agribusinesses;
VIII INTRODUCTION 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

• Measure the usage of modern technologies such as 

conservation practices, organic production, renewable 

energy systems, internet access, and specialized 

marketing strategies; 

• Develop new and improved methods to increase 

agricultural production and profitability;

• Plan for operations during drought and emergency 

outbreaks of diseases or infestations of pests;

• Analyze and report the current state of food, fuel, and 

fiber production in the United States; and

• Make energy projections and forecast needs for 

agricultural producers and their communities.

LEGAL AUTHORITY

The 2017 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 every fifth year. The census of agriculture 

includes each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin 

Islands, the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, 

and American Samoa.

FARM DEFINITION

The census definition of a farm 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 definition has changed nine times since it was 

established in 1850. The current definition was first used 

for the 1974 Census of Agriculture and was used in each 

subsequent census of agriculture. This definition is 

consistent with the definition used for current USDA 

surveys. The farm definition used for each U.S. territory 

varies. The report for each territory includes a discussion 

of its farm definition.

DATA COMPARABILITY

Most commodity data are comparable between the 2017 

and 2012 censuses. Changes were made to the 2017 census 

that affect the comparability for some data items. 

Demographic data, for the 2017 Census of Agriculture, are 

not fully comparable to 2012 and earlier census data due to 

terminology and definition changes. Dollar figures are 

expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for 

inflation or deflation. In general, data for censuses since 

1974 are not fully comparable with data for 1969 and 

earlier censuses due to changes in the farm definition. See 

Appendix B, General Explanation and Census of 

Agriculture Report Form, Data Changes for a detailed 

discussion of these changes.

REFERENCE PERIOD

Reference periods for the 2017 Census of Agriculture were 

similar to those used in the 2012 Census of Agriculture. 

Reference periods used were:

• Crop production is measured for the calendar year, 

except for a few crops such as avocados, citrus, and 

olives for which the production year overlaps the 

calendar year. See Appendix B, General Explanation 

and Census of Agriculture Report Form for details.

• Livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment 

inventories, and market value of land and buildings are 

measured as of December 31 of the census year.

• Crop and livestock sales, other farm-related income, 

direct sales income, income from federal farm 

programs, Commodity Credit Corporation loans, 

Conservation Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement, and Wetlands 

Reserve Program participation, farm expenses, 

chemical and fertilizer use, irrigated acreage, and hired 

farm labor data are measured for the calendar year.

TABLES AND APPENDICES

Chapter 1. Table 1 shows State-level historical data 

through the 1987 census and tables 2 through 52 show 

detailed State-level data usually accompanied by historical 

data from the 2012 census. Tables 53 through 70 show 

detailed producer and farm operation data for the 2017 

census only. Tables 71 through 77 show detailed Statelevel data cross-tabulated by several categories for the 

2017 census only.

Chapter 2. County-level data are presented in 57 tables in 

2 different table formats - county and county summary. 

Most tables include 2012 historical data. County tables 

include general data for all counties within the State. The 

county names are listed in alphabetical order in the column 

headings. County summary tables provide comprehensive 

data for all counties reporting a data item. 

Appendix A. Provides information about data collection 

and data processing activities and discusses the statistical 

methodology used in conducting and evaluating the 

census. Table A summarizes coverage, nonresponse, and 

misclassification adjustment for selected items for the 

State. Table B provides reliability estimates of State totals 

for selected items. Table C summarizes coverage, 

nonresponse, and misclassification adjustment for selected 

items at the county level. Table D provides total number

of American Indian or Alaska Native farm producers both 

on and off reservations by county.

Appendix B. Includes definitions of specific terms and 

phrases used in this publication, including items in the 

publication tables that carry the note "see text." It also 

provides facsimiles of the report form and instruction sheet 

used to collect data.

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY

In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the United 

States Code, no data are published that would disclose 

information about the operations of an individual farm or 

ranch. All tabulated data are subjected to an extensive 

disclosure review prior to publication. Any tabulated item 

that identifies data reported by a respondent or allows a 

respondent’s data to be accurately estimated or derived, 

was suppressed and coded with a ‘D’. However, the 

number of farms reporting an item is not considered 

confidential information and is provided even though other 

information is withheld.

SPECIAL EFFORTS DIRECTED AT 

MINORITIES

NASS implemented several activities to improve coverage 

of minority farm producers. These activities included, but 

were not limited to:

• Obtaining mail lists from organizations likely to 

contain names and addresses of minority farm 

producers; 

• Conducting pre-census promotion activities that

SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM 

TABULATIONS 

Special studies such as the 2018 Irrigation and Water 

Management Survey and the 2018 Census of Aquaculture 

are part of the census program and provide supplemental 

information to the 2017 Census of Agriculture in the 

respective subject area. Results are published on the 

internet. 

Custom-designed tabulations may be developed when data 

are not published elsewhere. These tabulations are 

developed to individual user specifications on a costreimbursable basis and shared with the public. Quick Stats, 

NASS’s online database that allows data users to build 

customized queries, should be investigated before 

requesting a custom tabulation.

All special studies and custom tabulations are subject to a 

thorough disclosure review prior to release to prevent the 

disclosure of any individual respondent data. Requests for 

custom tabulations can be submitted via the internet from 

the NASS home page, by mail, or by e-mail to:

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 1

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A.

Census of Agriculture Methodology

The purpose of a census is to enumerate all objects 

with a defined characteristic. For the census of 

agriculture, that goal is to account for “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.” To do this, NASS creates a 

Census Mail List (CML) of agricultural operations 

that potentially meet the farm definition, collects 

agricultural information from those operations, 

reviews the data, corrects or completes the requested 

information, and combines the data to provide 

information on the characteristics of farm operations 

and farm producers at the national, State, and county 

levels. In this appendix, these census processes are 

described.

THE CENSUS POPULATION

The Census Mail List

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 

maintains a list of farmers and ranchers from which 

the CML is compiled. The goal is to build as complete 

a list as possible of agricultural places that meet the 

farm definition. The CML compilation begins with 

the list used to define sampling populations for NASS 

surveys conducted for the agricultural estimates 

program. Each record on the list includes name, 

address, telephone number, and email plus additional 

information that is used to efficiently administer the 

census of agriculture and agricultural estimates 

programs.

NASS builds and improves the list on an ongoing 

basis by obtaining outside source lists. Sources 

include State and federal government lists, producer 

association lists, seed grower lists, pesticide 

applicator lists, veterinarian lists, marketing 

association lists, and a variety of other agriculturerelated lists. NASS also obtains special commodity 

lists to address specific list deficiencies. These outside 

source lists are matched to the NASS list using record 

linkage programs. Most names on newly acquired 

sources are already on the NASS list. Records not on 

the NASS list are treated as potential farms until 

NASS can confirm their existence as a qualifying 

farm. Staff in NASS regional and field offices 

routinely contact these potential farms to determine 

whether they meet the farm definition. For the 2017 

Census of Agriculture, NASS made a concerted effort 

to work with community-based organizations not only 

to improve list coverage for minorities but also to 

increase census awareness and participation.

List building activities for developing the 2017 CML 

started in 2014 by updating list information from 

respondents to the 2012 Census of Agriculture. 

Between 2015 and 2017, NASS conducted a series of 

National Agricultural Classification Surveys (NACS) 

on approximately 1.6 million records, which included 

nonrespondents from the 2012 census and newly 

added records from outside list sources. The NACS 

report forms collected information that was used to 

determine whether an operation met the farm 

definition. If the definition was met, the operation was 

added to the NASS list and subsequently to the CML. 

Addressees that were nonrespondents to a NACS 

were also added to the CML and identified with a 

special status code.

Measures were taken to improve name and address 

quality. Additional record linkage programs were run 

to detect and remove duplicate records both within 

each State and across States. List addresses were 

processed through software programs that utilize the 

United States Postal Service’s National Change of 

Address System and the Locatable Address 

Conversion System to improve mail delivery. 

Records on the list with missing or invalid phone 

numbers were matched against a nationally available 

telephone database to obtain as many phone numbers 

as possible. To reduce costs, operations with 

characteristics that indicated they were unlikely to be 

farms, according to the farm definition, were removed 

from the list.
A - 2 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

The official CML for the 2017 Census of Agriculture 

was established on September 3, 2017. The list 

contained 2,999,098 records. Of these, 2,259,750 

records were thought to meet the NASS farm 

definition and 739,348 were potential farm records, 

which included NACS nonrespondents, other records 

added to the CML by the NASS regional field offices 

after the record linkage process, and late adds to the 

CML that were not included in any previous NACS or 

State screening survey.

Not on the Mail List (NML)

Extensive efforts are directed toward developing a 

CML that includes all farms in the U.S. However, 

some farms are not on the list, and some agricultural 

operations on the list are not farms. NASS uses its 

June Area Survey (JAS) to quantify the number and 

types of farms not on the CML. The records in the 

JAS that are not on the CML are said to be in the Noton-the-Mail List (NML) domain. If a JAS record in 

the NML domain is determined to be a farm during 

the census, it is an NML farm. The NML farms are 

used to measure coverage associated with the census.

The JAS is based on an area frame, which covers all 

land in the U.S. and includes all farms. The land in the 

U.S. is stratified by characteristics of the land. A 

probability sample of segments is drawn within each 

stratum for the JAS. Segments of approximately equal 

size are delineated within each stratum and designated 

on aerial photographs. The JAS sample of segments is 

allocated to strata to provide accurate measures of 

acres planted to widely grown crops, farm numbers, 

and inventories of cattle. Sampled segments in the 

JAS are personally enumerated. Each operation 

identified within a segment boundary is known as a 

tract.

The 2017 JAS sample was increased to improve the 

farm counts for operations that produced specialty 

commodities or had socially disadvantaged or 

minority producers. The total JAS sample consisted 

of 13,972 segments of which 3,012 were additional 

segments. This set of additional segments is referred 

to as the Agricultural Coverage Evaluation Survey 

(ACES) segments. The ACES segments were selected 

using a multivariate sampling design that targeted 

specific items at the U.S. level. The 2017 JAS 

consisted of sample segments from all States, with the 

exception of Alaska where NASS does not maintain 

an area frame.

During the JAS/ACES enumeration process, each 

tract is identified as either agricultural or nonagricultural. Each JAS/ACES agricultural tract is 

identified as a farm or non-farm in June based on the 

farm definition of $1,000 of sales or potential sales of 

agricultural products. Non-agricultural tracts are 

further classified into categories: with farm potential, 

with unknown farm potential, or with no farm 

potential. The names and addresses collected in the 

2017 JAS/ACES were matched to the CML. Those 

from the 2017 JAS/ACES that did not match were 

determined to be in the NML domain and sent a 

yellow census report form so that they could be 

differentiated from the green report form sent to those 

addressees on the CML. Instructions on the census 

report form directed any respondent who received 

duplicate forms to complete the CML form and to 

mail all duplicate forms back together. Those who 

returned a CML and an NML form had been 

misclassified as NML and were removed from the 

NML domain.

The initial NML mailout consisted of 42,430 records. 

A total of 41,787 NML records were summarized of 

which 2,799 records were confirmed to be NML and 

in-scope. 

The farm/nonfarm status of each NML domain 

operation was determined based on the reported data 

in the census form. An operation in the NML domain 

that was determined to be a farm is referred to as an 

NML farm. Characteristics of NML farms and their 

producers provided a measure of the undercoverage 

of farms on the CML. The percentage of farms not 

represented on the CML varied by State. In general, 

NML farms tended to be small in acreage, production, 

and sales of agricultural products. Farm operations 

were missing from the CML for various reasons, 

including the possibility that the operation started 

after development of the CML, the operation was so 

small that it did not appear in any agriculture-related 

source list, or the operation was misclassified as a 

nonfarm prior to census mailout. The CML was used 

with the NML in a capture-recapture framework to 

represent all farming operations across all States in 

the JAS sample.

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND

PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS

NASS planned and executed a multi-phase strategic 

communications campaign for the 2017 Census of 

Agriculture, to increase the level of awareness and 

response among all U.S. agricultural producers.

 Phase 1 ran from December 2016 − June 2017. It 

raised awareness about the census and list building, 

encouraged producers to sign up in response to 

NASS mailings and at community, association, 

and other stakeholder meetings where NASS 

partners reached out.

 Phase 2 ran from July 2017 − December 2017. It 

notified farm producers and agricultural 

organizations that the census would be mailed in 

December, and encouraged communications 

regarding the census.

 Phase 3 ran from December 2017 – July 2018. It 

focused on census data collection with messaging 

urging response, reminding producers that it was 

not too late to respond.

 Phase 4 ran from August 2018 – February 2019. It 

thanked producers for their participation and 

NASS partners for their support, and informed all 

of the February 2019 data release plan. 

The communications campaign focused on these 

primary areas: partnership building, local-level 

outreach, public relations, media relations, paid 

media, and social media. Some external support was 

provided by a private communications agency (i.e. 

primarily assistance with paid media/advertising 

strategy and ad creation) and a freelance writer.

The unifying force behind the 2017 communications 

campaign was the theme “Your Voice. Your Future. 

Your Opportunity.” This was accompanied by 

supporting messages and artwork that created a 

consistent look and feel for all census 

communications. All messages and materials served 

the purpose of inspiring action: Grow Your Farm 

Future - Shape Your Farm Programs - Boost Your 

Rural Services - Fill out your Census of Agriculture -

Do your part to be counted - The Census of 

Agriculture is Your Voice, Your Future, Your 

Opportunity.

Partnership and Local-Level Outreach

At the national level, NASS officials met with leaders 

from dozens of agricultural organizations, State 

Departments of Agriculture, and other USDA 

agencies to successfully secure their support in 

promoting the census among their constituencies. 

Stakeholders partnered with NASS to promote the 

2017 Census of Agriculture through publications (e.g. 

newsletters), special mailings, speeches, social media, 

websites, and other communications. In addition, 

through grassroots-level outreach and efforts, NASS 

partnered with a number of community-based 

organizations to reach minority and limited-resource 

farmers and ranchers. National-level outreach was 

encouraged and mirrored at the regional, State, and 

local levels. Among the highlights of these 

partnership efforts was the production of multiple 

television and radio public service announcements 

featuring the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, State 

secretaries, directors, and commissioners of 

agriculture and leaders from community-based 

organizations. 

Coverage of American Indian and Alaska 

Native Farm Producers

To maximize coverage of American Indian and 

Alaska Native agricultural producers, special 

procedures were followed in the census. A concerted 

effort was made to get individual reports from every 

American Indian and Alaska Native farm or ranch 

producer in the country. If this was not possible within 

some reservations, a single reservation-level census 

report was obtained from knowledgeable reservation 

officials. These reports covered agricultural activity 

on the entire reservation. NASS staff reviewed these 

data and removed duplication with any data reported 

by American Indian or Alaska Native producers who 

responded on an individual census report form. 

Additionally NASS obtained, from knowledgeable 

reservation officials, the count of American Indian 

and Alaska Native producers (on reservations) who 

were not counted through individual census report 

forms, but whose agricultural activity was included in 

the reservation-level report form. 
A - 4 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Table D, American Indian and Alaska Native 

Producers: 2017 provides the number of producers 

(1) reported as American Indian or Alaska Native in 

the race category, either as a single race or in 

combination with other races, on the individual 

census report forms (for up to four per farm) and (2) 

identified as American Indian or Alaska Native 

producers farming on reservations by reservation 

officials. The count from the individual report forms 

is summarized in the “Individually reported” column. 

It includes up to four producers on or off reservations. 

The “Other” column provides counts of producers on 

reservations as reported by a reservation or tribal 

official. The “Total” column is simply a sum of the 

“Individually reported” and the “Other” columns. 

Tables in other parts of the publication count the 

reservation-level reports as single farms.

Public Relations

In the public relations arena, NASS worked with 

internal and external stakeholders to equip them with 

communications tools and resources to deliver the 

census communications message to their audiences. 

NASS utilized its Intranet and the Partner Tools page 

on the census website to deliver materials to the 12 

regional and 46 field offices as well as to external 

stakeholders. The materials included but were not 

limited to: customizable news releases, public service 

announcement scripts, and a PowerPoint template; 

Secretary of Agriculture video public service 

announcements, and drop-in advertisements; 

informational, instructional, and testimonial videos; 

website buttons and banners; brochures in multiple 

languages; flyers; posters; FAQ sheets, talking points, 

and more. In addition, at the national level, NASS 

issued six news releases during data collection (three 

more were produced before data collection to inform 

and prepare producers) citing department and agency 

spokespeople, published half a dozen timely and 

relevant pieces to the USDA blog highlighting the 

census, and conducted three social media campaigns. 

These public relations efforts at the national and locallevels helped ensure that NASS’ message about the 

census was continually in the media, including print 

and online publications, a variety of social media, 

radio, and some television programs. Media outlets 

included both those specializing in agriculture and 

more general outlets. 

Paid Media

Even with increasingly limited budgets and resources, 

NASS was able to apply a small portion of funds 

toward paid media. For the 2017 Census of 

Agriculture, NASS strategically advertised in 

regional print publications, online, and with national 

agriculture news services (i.e. TV, radio) to bolster 

reach both in general and within geographicallyspecific, previously under-represented populations 

and lower response areas. 

DATA COLLECTION

Method of Enumeration

Data collection was accomplished primarily by mail, 

Computer-Assisted Self Interview (CASI) on the 

Internet, and personal enumeration for special classes 

of records in the census operations. Personal 

enumeration (interviewing) involved the use of both 

Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) and 

Computer-Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI) data 

collection instruments. Enumerators at the five NASS 

Data Collection Centers conducted CATI data 

collection. In addition, enumerators under contract 

with NASS through the National Association of State 

Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) conducted 

phone and personal interviews with respondents. For 

the 2017 Census of Agriculture, NASS implemented 

a pre-notification strategy in an effort to increase 

awareness, improve overall responses, and encourage 

respondents to report early to avoid continued 

correspondence. All records with an e-mail address 

received an e-mail message marketing the improved 

web form and announcing the census mail packets 

were coming.

Report Forms

Four versions of report forms were used for the 2017 

Census of Agriculture:

 General form (17-A100)

 Short form (17-A200)

 Hawaii form (17-A101)

 American Indian form (17-A300)

The general form facilitated reporting crops and 

livestock most commonly grown and raised in the 

U.S. The short form expedited reporting specific 

crops or livestock for pre-identified farms and ranches 

in the U.S. The Hawaii form targeted crops and 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

livestock specifically grown or raised on farms and 

ranches in Hawaii. The American Indian form 

focused on crops and livestock for farms and ranches 

on reservations in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. 

All of the report forms allowed respondents to write 

in specific commodities that were not prelisted on 

their report form.

Report Form Mailings

Pre-notification of census data collection began on 

November 17, 2017. Approximately 600,000 

producers with an active e-mail address on the census 

mail list received a message informing them of the 

upcoming census data collection period and 

encouraging them to utilize the new census web form. 

Between November 27 and November 30, 2017, 

approximately 1 million producers received a letter 

with their survey code and instructions for completing 

their census online. The letter encouraged producers 

to report online early to avoid receiving mail and 

phone follow-up. Approximately 3 million mail 

packets were mailed in December 2017 and January 

2018. Each packet contained a cover letter, instruction 

sheet, a labeled report form, and a return envelope. 

The Census Bureau’s National Processing Center 

(NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to perform 

mail packet preparation, initial mailout, and two 

follow-up mailings to nonrespondents.

The initial mailout was followed by a thank-you 

reminder postcard that was delivered in January 2018 

to all operations that received mail packets. First 

follow-up mail packets were mailed in mid-February 

2018 to approximately 1.5 million nonrespondents. 

Second follow-up mail packets were mailed in midMarch 2018 to approximately 1 million 

nonrespondents.

Nonresponse Follow-up

Operating concurrently with NPC’s mail data 

collection efforts, NASS Data Collection Centers 

targeted selected groups of census nonrespondents for 

telephone enumeration. NASS regional field offices 

targeted selected groups of census nonrespondents for 

in-person enumeration. These efforts were referred to 

as:

 Must Case Follow-up

 American Indian Producer Follow-up

 National Nonresponse Follow-up

 Not on Mail List (NML) Follow-up

Must Case Follow-up. Must cases are known large 

or unique operations, the absence of which could have 

significantly affected the accuracy of census results. 

For the 2017 Census of Agriculture, 125,697 records 

were categorized as Must cases. Each active Must 

operation was accounted for by mail receipt, phone 

interview, or personal enumeration; if an operation 

was no longer in business, its nonfarm status was 

documented. Call centers conducted CATI calling of 

nonrespondent Must cases from March 2018 through 

May 2018, after the initial and first follow-up 

mailings. Following the CATI calling, the remaining 

nonresponse Must cases were assigned to regional 

field offices for personal enumeration. Because of the 

potential importance of Must cases, they were all 

accounted for and therefore not eligible for 

nonresponse weighting adjustment.

American Indian Producer Follow-up. The 

American Indian report form (17-A300) was mailed 

to all operations in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah 

thought to have an American Indian producer. It was 

included in the initial mailout, but due to poor mail 

response, a personal enumeration data collection 

strategy was utilized with no additional mail followup. A concerted effort was made to get individual 

reports from every American Indian farm producer in 

the country. If this was not possible within a 

reservation, a single reservation-level census report 

was obtained from knowledgeable reservation 

officials. These reports covered agricultural activity 

on the entire reservation. NASS staff reviewed these 

data and removed any duplicate data reported by 

American Indian producers from that reservation who 

responded on an individual census report form. 

Additionally NASS obtained, from knowledgeable 

reservation officials, the count of American Indian 

farm producers (on the reservations) who were not 

counted through individual census report forms, but 

whose agricultural activity was included in the 

reservation-level report form.

National Nonresponse Follow-up (Excludes Must 

Records). The National Nonresponse follow-up 

activity was designed to focus nonresponse follow-up 

in a manner that would both reflect the characteristics 
A - 6 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

of the nonresponders and increase response rates. In 

April 2018, a sample of 249,521 nonrespondents was 

selected from the remaining 864,260 nonrespondents 

using a stratified random design. The strata were 

based on State, county, size of farm, type of farm, 

producer race, and propensity to respond. Beginning 

in mid-April 2018 and continuing through July 2018, 

extensive efforts were made to collect data for the 

sampled records, including an additional CASI push, 

autodial calls, CATI, and CAPI. Records in the same 

stratum received the same set of collection methods. 

Of the 80,504 responses, 51,846 records were 

identified as being in-scope, resulting in a weighted 

farm count of 143,847 from the sample. 

Not-on-the-Mail List (NML) Follow-up. To account 

for farming operations not on the CML, NASS used 

its 2017 JAS sample from the NASS area frame, 

augmented with the ACES segments. Because the 

NASS area frame covers all land in the U.S. with the 

exception of Alaska, it includes all farms. As 

previously described, NASS conducted a record 

linkage operation between the CML records and the 

records from the 2017 JAS/ACES. Those 2017 JAS 

records that did not match records on the CML were 

designated as “Not-on-the-Mail List” (NML) records. 

These records were mailed a yellow census form so 

that it could be differentiated from the green forms 

mailed to CML records. The NML records were 

mailed at the same time as the census mailing and 

received the same follow-up procedures as the census 

mailing through the first follow-up in mid-February 

2018. Beginning in March 2018, CATI was used for 

nonresponse follow-up for NML nonrespondents.

REPORT FORM PROCESSING

Data Capture

The Census Bureau’s National Processing Center 

(NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to process 

returned mail packets. NASS staff on site at the NPC 

provided technical guidance and monitored NPC 

processing activities. All report forms returned to the 

NPC were immediately checked in, using bar codes 

printed on the mailing label, and removed from 

follow-up report form mailings. All forms with any 

data were scanned and an image was made of each 

page of a report form. Optical Mark Recognition 

(OMR) was used to capture categorical responses and 

to identify the other answer zones in which some type 

of mark was present.

Data entry operators keyed data from the scanned 

images using OMR results that highlighted the areas 

of the report forms with respondent entries. The keyer 

evaluated the contents and captured pertinent 

responses. Ten percent of the captured data were 

keyed a second time for quality control. If differences 

existed between the first keyed value and the second, 

an adjudicator handled resolution. The decision of the 

adjudicator was used to grade the performance of the 

keyers, who were required to maintain a certain 

accuracy level.

The images and the captured data were transferred to 

NASS’s centralized network and became available to 

NASS analysts on a flow basis. The images were 

available for use in all stages of review. 

Editing Data

Captured data were processed through a computer 

formatting program that verified that records were 

valid – that the record ID number was on the list of 

census records, that the reported counties of operation 

and production were valid, and other related criteria. 

Rejected records were referred to analysts for 

correction. Accepted records were sent to a complex 

computer batch edit process. Each execution of the 

computer edit in batch mode consisted of records 

from only one State and flowed as the data were 

received from NPC, the NASS Computer-Assisted 

Self Interview (CASI), or the Computer-Assisted 

Telephone Interview (CATI) applications.

The computer edit determined whether a reporting 

operation met the qualifying criteria to be counted as 

a farm (in-scope). The edit examined each in-scope 

record for reasonableness and completeness and 

determined whether to accept the recorded value for 

each data item or take corrective action. Such 

corrective actions included removing erroneously 

reported values, replacing an unreasonable value with 

one consistent with other reported data, or providing 

a value for an item omitted by the respondent. To the 

extent possible, the computer edit determined a 

replacement value. Strategies for determining 

replacement values are discussed in the next section. 

Operations failing to meet the qualifying criteria for 

being classified as a farm were categorized as out-ofscope for the census. Records that NASS had reason 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 7

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

to believe might have been erroneously classified as 

out-of-scope (indications of recent and/or significant 

agricultural activity reported on NASS surveys, for 

example) were referred to analysts for verification. 

The edit systematically checked reported data sectionby-section with the overall objective of achieving an 

internally consistent and complete report. NASS 

subject-matter experts had previously defined the 

criteria for acceptable data. Problems that could not 

be resolved within the edit were referred to an analyst 

for intervention. Prior to the census mail-out, NASS 

established a group of analysts in a Census Editing 

Unit in the National Operations Center in St. Louis, 

MO who examined the scanned images, consulted 

additional sources of information, and determined an 

appropriate action. Regional field office analysts also 

participated using an interactive version of the edit 

program to submit corrected data and immediately reedit the record to ensure a satisfactory solution. 

Short Form Editing

From the CML, 400,000 records were selected to 

receive a short form; this short form was derived from 

the full census report form by reducing a number of 

sections to a ‘total’ question – for example, instead of 

asking the respondent to report the acreage for each 

specific type of fruit or vegetable, the short form only 

asked for total fruit acreage or total vegetable acreage. 

In some cases, the same questions were asked on the 

general form, in which case the edit treated the short 

form responses as though they were incomplete 

general forms, as described in the previous 

paragraphs. In other cases, several items on the 

general form were collapsed – for example, total acres 

of Christmas trees and short rotation woody crops 

were asked as a single item on the short form, instead 

of separately as on the general form. In such cases, 

different approaches were taken in the edit to create a 

general form item or items from the short-form 

specific items. Any short form record that reported 

values above a certain threshold (in practice this 

threshold was 0 for almost all items) for these shortform-specific questions was ‘flagged’ by the edit; 

these records were later called back and the 

respondent asked for additional information about the 

items reported – for example, a producer reporting 10 

acres of fruit on the short form was called back and 

asked for the total, bearing, and nonbearing acres for 

each type of fruit grown, as was asked on the general 

form. If the producer was successfully contacted and 

these additional data collected, the information was 

added to the record as additional reported data, and 

the edit was ‘reset to original’ – that is, the effects of 

the previous edit were undone – and the record was 

reedited with the new additional information. A flag 

was passed to the edit so that the short form record 

was not flagged for callback in such cases. In many 

cases, of course, it was not possible to recontact the 

respondent. In such cases, a flag was passed to the edit 

system, and the record was unlocked and available for 

review.

Imputing Data

The edit determined the best value to impute for 

reported responses that were deemed unreasonable 

and for required responses that were absent. If an item 

could not be calculated directly from other current 

responses, the edit determined whether acreage, 

production, or inventory items had been reported for 

that farm on a recent NASS crop or livestock survey. 

For producers who had not changed in five years, 

demographics such as race and gender were taken 

from the previous census. Administrative data from 

the Farm Service Agency were used for a few items, 

such as Conservation Reserve Program acreage. 

When deterministic edit logic and previouslyreported data sources were unable to provide a current 

value, data from a reporting farm of similar type, size, 

and location were considered. In cases where 

automated imputation was unable to provide a 

consistent report, the record was referred to an analyst 

for resolution.

Separate system processes were established to 

efficiently provide data from a similar farm to the edit 

when donor imputation was required. The farm 

characteristics used to define similarity between a 

recipient record and its donor record were determined 

dynamically by the edit logic. Euclidean distance was 

used for similarity computations, with each 

contributing similarity characteristic scaled 

appropriately. The most similar farm based on this 

criterion (the “nearest neighbor”) was identified and 

returned to the edit for use as a donor. The calculated 

distance between the centroids of the principal 

counties of production of the donor and recipient was 

always included as one of the measures of similarity.
A - 8 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

To provide donors to the automated edit, a pool of 

successfully edited records was maintained for each 

section of the report form. These donor pools began 

with 2012 census data, reconfigured to emulate 2017 

data and then edited using 2017 logic. Data from the 

2015 Census Content Test were similarly remapped 

and edited before being added to the original donor 

pools. As 2017 records were successfully processed, 

they were added to the donor pools, which maintained 

the most recent data for each farm. Donor pools were 

updated approximately every other week, as 

determined by edit processing schedules. After 

several updates, all initial data records were dropped, 

leaving only 2017 records in the donor pools. After 

each update, donor pool records were grouped into 

strata containing farms in the same State of similar 

type and size, using a data-driven algorithm to define 

strata. Certain American Indian farms were treated as 

a separate group, effectively having their own donor 

pool.

In response to each donor request issued by the edit, a 

dedicated system process would search the 

appropriate stratum and respond with the most similar 

donor, while giving preference to more recent donors. 

In relatively rare instances where it was unable to 

provide a donor, the donor selection process issued an 

appropriate failure message to the edit. Imputation 

failures occurred for several different reasons. The 

requirement that an imputed value be positive could 

have ruled out all available donors, as could have the 

necessity for the donor record to satisfy a particular 

constraint – say, that the donor record has cattle, but 

no milk cows. In general, an imputation failure 

occurred if there were no satisfactory donors in the 

same profile as the report being edited. Records with 

imputation failures were either held until more 

records were available in the donor pool or referred to 

an analyst. In addition, when such a failure occurred 

in finding a donor for expenditure data, donor pool 

averages were provided in lieu of an individual donor, 

wherever possible. This “failover” utility was first 

introduced for the 2012 census imputation process, 

and significantly reduced the number of imputation 

failures among the expenditure and labor variables. 

During the early stages of editing, records requiring 

imputation for production (and hence yields) of field 

crops or hay, land values, or certain expenditure 

variables, were set aside or “parked.” These records 

were edited when the donor pools contained only 

2017 records, ensuring that 2017 data were used in the 

imputations for the variables.

After receiving a donor's data, the edit substituted the 

values into the edited record. In many cases, the donor 

record's data value was scaled using another data field 

specified in the edit logic. In such cases, the size of 

the auxiliary field's value in the edited record, relative 

to its value in the donor record, was used to 

appropriately scale the donor record's value for the 

field to be imputed. The imputed data were then 

validated by the same edit logic to which reported data 

were subject. Since imputation was conducted 

independently for each occurrence, reports requiring 

multiple imputations may have drawn from multiple 

donors.

Substantial changes were introduced to the Personal 

Characteristics section of the form in 2017. 

Information on an additional (fourth) producer was 

collected, and several new questions were added for 

each producer – specifically, whether or not the 

person was considered a “principal producer,” 

whether the person was a spouse of a principal 

producer, and whether the person was involved in any 

of five types of decisions with respect to the 

operation. These changes necessitated a new 

imputation process for records reporting three or more 

persons as producers. Records with one or two 

persons reported as producers had these data edited 

and imputed using the decision logic table edit and 

donor pool imputation process. Records with three or 

more persons reported as producers, and for which it 

was determined that these data were inconsistent or 

missing, had these data imputed using a fully 

conditional specification method. During the edit for 

records reporting three or more producers, the items 

needing imputation were marked, and the record was

flagged. Periodically the data for these records (both 

the items needing to be imputed and the other 

variables needed by the model) were pulled and run 

through the imputation program. The resulting 

imputed values were loaded back to the records, and 

the records were made available for review. This 

process was conducted 19 times for the CML, and 6 

times for the NML, during census production editing.

Data Analysis

The complex edit ensured the full internal consistency 

of the record. Successfully completing the edit did not 

provide insight as to whether the report was 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 9

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

reasonable compared to other reports in the county. 

Analysts were provided an additional set of tools, in 

the form of listings and graphs, to review record-level 

data across farms. These examinations revealed 

extreme outliers, large and small, or unique data 

distribution patterns that were possibly a result of 

reporting, recording, or handling errors. Potential 

problems were investigated and, when necessary, 

corrections were made and the record interactively 

edited again.

When NASS summarizes data from the census of 

agriculture, each individual report is typically 

assigned to a single “principal” county. The principal 

county is the county in which the majority of an 

operation’s agricultural products are produced, as 

reported by the producer. For large operations that 

have significant production in multiple counties, their 

reports may be broken up into multiple source 

counties to more accurately summarize the data. 

Similarly, for large farms operating in more than one 

State, separate report forms are completed by State in 

order to assign the proper portion of the farm’s total 

agricultural production to each State in which the 

farm operates.

Although much effort was expended making the CML 

as complete as possible, the CML did not include all 

U.S. farms, resulting in list undercoverage. Some

farm producers who were on the CML did not respond 

to the census, despite numerous attempts to contact 

them. In addition, although each operation was 

classified as a farm or a nonfarm based on the 

responses to the census report form, some were 

misclassified; that is, some nonfarms were classified 

as farms and some farms were classified as nonfarms. 

NASS’s goal was to produce agricultural census totals 

for publication at the county level that were fully 

adjusted for list undercoverage, nonresponse, and 

misclassification.

In 2012 NASS used capture-recapture methodology 

to adjust for undercoverage, nonresponse, and 

misclassification. This same methodology was 

implemented for the 2017 Census of Agriculture. To 

implement capture-recapture methods, two 

independent surveys were required. The 2017 Census 

of Agriculture (based on the CML) and the 2017 JAS 

(based on the area frame) were those two surveys. 

Historically, NASS has been careful to maintain the 

independence of these two surveys.

A second assumption was that the proportion of JAS 

farms with a given set of characteristics captured by 

the census was equal to the proportion of U.S. farms 

with those same characteristics captured by the 

census.

For a farm to be identified as a farm, and thus captured 

by the census, it must be on the CML, respond to the 

census report form and, based on the census response, 

be classified as a farm. Only those nonrespondents 

included in the nonresponse sample had an 

opportunity to be captured and had a probability πS of 

being included in the sample; respondents prior to 

drawing the nonresponse sample had πS = 1. Thus, the 

capture probability πC is of interest:

πC = π(CML, Responded, Farm on Census|Farm) πS

Two types of classification error can occur. First, a 

farm can be misclassified as a nonfarm. This type of 

misclassification is accounted for in determining the 

probability of capture πC. The second type of 

classification error results when a response to the 

census is classified as a farm operation when it does 

not meet the definition of a farm. That is, some farms 

on the CML may be misclassified from their census 

report response and may be nonfarms. To account for 

the misclassification of nonfarms as farms, the 

probability of a farm on the census being classified 

correctly must be estimated; that is,

πCCFC = π(Farm | Farm on Census)

where CCFC represents Correct Census Farm 

Classification. To adjust for undercoverage, 

nonresponse, and misclassification, each CML record 

classified as a farm based on its response to the census 

report form was given a weight of the ratio of the 

estimated probability of correct classification of a 

farm on the census and the estimated probability of 

capture where the hat symbol (^) denotes an 

estimate). To estimate the number of farms with a 

given set of characteristics, the weights of CML 

records responding as farms on the census and having 

that set of characteristics were summed. This 
A - 10 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

estimator is referred to as the capture-recapture 

estimator (CR):

where F is the set of all CML records classified as 

farms based on their responses to the census report 

form.

To estimate the capture and correct census farm 

classification probabilities, a matched dataset 

consisting of JAS records and census records was 

created. Records in the 2017 JAS sample were 

matched to the 2017 census using probabilistic record 

linkage. The CML records that matched with JAS 

tracts represent the Census Sample. 

Note: The Census Sample is a subset of the CML 

records and includes only those records matching a 

JAS tract. Both agricultural and non-agricultural 

tracts were included in the matched dataset. 

Resolving Farm Status

The farm status based on census responses to either 

the CML or NML census data collection and the JAS 

agreed in most cases; these records are referred to as 

having resolved farm status. However, in other cases, 

a record was identified as a farm (nonfarm) on the 

JAS and as a nonfarm (farm) by the census through 

either the CML or the NML. Such records are said to 

have conflicting or unresolved farm status. An 

operation identified as a farm is referred to as inscope; an operation identified as a nonfarm is referred 

to as out-of-scope. From the set of matched records, 

two groups with conflicting farm status were 

identified: 1) in-scope JAS records that were out-ofscope on the census and 2) census in-scope and JAS 

out-of-scope records. The records with conflicting 

farm status were sent to NASS regional field offices 

for review. In each case, efforts were made to 

determine whether (1) the status had changed between 

June and December when the census was conducted, 

(2) the JAS farm status was correct, (3) the census 

farm status was correct, (4) the records were 

incorrectly matched, or (5) the farm status could not 

be resolved. Not all of the records with conflicting 

farm status could be resolved. In 2017, 8.1 percent of 

the records in the Census Sample had unresolved farm 

status. 

The probability an operation is a farm was estimated 

for the records with unresolved farm status. Using the 

2017 matched dataset, a logistic model of the 

probability an operation is a farm based on the records 

with resolved farm status was developed; that is, the 

operations where the farm (or nonfarm) status agreed 

between the JAS and the census were used to develop 

a missing data model, which was then used to resolve 

farm status. The final missing data model was used to 

impute the probability that each of the agricultural 

operations with unresolved farm status is a farm. For 

the resolved farms and nonfarms, the probability of 

the operation being a farm was 1 and 0, respectively. 

Five-fold cross-validation was used to develop and to 

compare competing models. The accuracy of the 

model was thereby not overstated due to fitting and 

evaluating the model on the same set of data. To 

ensure that each of the cross-validation samples 

covered the U.S., the five cross-validation samples of 

JAS segments were drawn within State-stratum 

combinations. Characteristics of the JAS tracts were 

considered as potential covariates in the model. 

Because limited information is available for JAS 

nonfarm tracts, other covariates considered included 

county-level socio-demographic variables from the 

most recent U.S. population census, segment-level 

data from the Cropland Data Layer, the county-level 

rural-urban code, state-level response rates, an 

indicator for records that are thought to be out-ofbusiness, and an indicator for records in the national 

nonresponse sample. The sample weight associated 

with each JAS tract was multiplied by the probability 

of being a farm. This adjusted weight was used in all 

subsequent modeling.

Capture Probabilities

Recall that, for a farm to be identified as a farm, and 

thus captured, by the census, it must be on the CML, 

respond to the census report form and, based on the 

census response, be classified as a farm. These 

adjustments are dependent. Further, those 

nonrespondents at the time the nonresponse sample 

was drawn had a known probability πS of being 

included in the sample; respondents before the sample 

was drawn had πS = 1. Therefore, the probability of 

capture πC may be written as
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 11

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

πC = π(CML, Responded, Farm on Census|Farm) πS

= π(CML|Farm)π(Responded|CML, Farm)π(Farm 

on Census|CML, Responded, Farm) πS

The probability of being included in the sample πS is 

known for all responding farms. The other terms in 

the probability of capturing a farm depend on the 

characteristics of the farm. Using five-fold crossvalidation, three logistic models were developed 

based on the matched dataset. The first model 

estimated the probability of a farm being on the CML. 

The second model estimated the probability that a 

farm on the CML responded to the census report form. 

The final model estimated the probability that a farm 

that was on the CML and responded to the census was 

identified as a farm based on its response. The 

probability that a farm is captured by the census of 

agriculture is then the product of the three conditional 

probabilities that a farm is on the CML, responds, and 

is identified as a farm.

Note 1: Responses were required for Must cases. 

These operations were only excluded in modeling the 

probability of a farm responding given that it was on 

the CML.

Note 2: Because Alaska is not included in the JAS and 

thus has no area frame, the Alaskan agricultural 

operations were not included in the capture-recapture 

process. No adjustments were made for 

undercoverage or misclassification. To account for 

nonresponse, the CML records were divided into 

three groups: (1) the Must records, (2) the Criteria 

Records, and (3) the remaining CML records. The 

must records received a weight of one, thereby 

receiving no adjustment for nonresponse. The 

probability of response for each of the other two 

groups was the proportion of responders within the 

group. Each record within the group was then given a 

weight equal to the reciprocal of the probability of 

response.

Misclassification

An operation is misclassified if: (1) it meets the 

definition of a farm, but is classified as a nonfarm on 

the census or (2) it does not meet the definition of a 

farm, but is classified as a farm on the census. The 

first type of misclassification is accounted for when 

modeling the probability of capture. An adjustment is 

still needed for the misclassification of nonfarms as 

farms. As with farm status and capture, the probability 

of this misclassification depends on an operation’s 

characteristics. Thus, a final logistic model was 

developed. Given that an operation was classified as 

a farm on the CML, the probability of its being a farm 

was modeled based on its characteristics. Five-fold 

cross-validation was used to ensure that the model 

was not over-fitted.

CALIBRATION

Each operation identified as being in-scope on the 

CML was given a weight equal to the probability of 

misclassification divided by the probability of 

capture. This weight accounted for undercoverage, 

nonresponse, both types of misclassification, and the 

nonresponse sample.

The record weighting processes were initially applied 

at the State level to produce adjusted estimates of farm 

numbers and land in farms for 63 different categories 

of 8 characteristics of the farm operation or the farm 

producer -- value of agricultural sales (9); age (2); 

female; race (3); Hispanic origin of principal farm 

producer; 4 sales categories for each of 10 major 

commodities (40); and farm type groups (7). The 

State-level number of farms and land in farms were 

two additional adjusted estimates, resulting in 65 

categories. To reduce the intercensal variation at the 

State level, the State targets were smoothed by 

averaging the 2017 estimates from capture-recapture 

and the published 2012 State estimates with the 

restrictions that the smoothed targets were within two 

standard errors of the capture-recapture estimates. 

The smoothed State targets were rescaled so that they 

summed to the national capture-recapture estimates.

These State estimates were general purpose in that 

they did not provide any control over expected levels 

of commodity production of the individual farm 

operation. As a result of this limitation, the procedures 

could have over-adjusted or under-adjusted for 

commodity production. To address this, a second set 

of variables, known as commodity targets, was added 

to the calibration algorithm. These targets were 

commodity totals from administrative sources or from 

NASS surveys of nonfarm populations (e.g. USDA 

Farm Service Agency program data, Agricultural 

Marketing Service market orders, livestock slaughter 

data, cotton ginning data). The introduction of these 
A - 12 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

commodity coverage targets strengthened the overall 

adjustment procedure by ensuring that major 

commodity totals remained within reasonable bounds 

of established benchmarks. 

Each State was calibrated separately. The calibration 

algorithm addressed commodity coverage. The 

algorithm was controlled by the 65 State farm 

operation coverage targets and the State commodity 

coverage targets. Because calibration targets are 

estimates subject to uncertainty, NASS allowed some 

tolerance in the determination of the adjusted weights. 

Rather than forcing the total for each calibration 

variable computed using the adjusted weights to equal 

a specific amount, NASS allowed the estimated total 

to fall within a tolerance range. 

Tolerance ranges for the farm operation coverage 

targets were determined differently from the 

commodity targets. The tolerance range for the 65 

State farm operation coverage targets was the 

estimated smoothed State total for the variable plus or 

minus one standard error of the capture-recapture 

estimate. This choice limited the cumulative deviation 

from the estimated total for a variable when State 

totals were summed to a U.S. total. Commodity 

coverage targets with acceptable ranges were 

established based on the administrative source for 

each State. Ranges were not necessarily symmetric 

around the target value.

To ensure that all subdomains for which NASS 

publishes summed to their grand total, integer weights 

were produced by a discrete calibration algorithm. 

This eliminated the need for rounding individual cell 

values and ensured that marginal totals always added 

correctly to the grand total. If a weight was initially 

not in the interval [1,6], it was trimmed so that in was 

in that interval. That is, adjusted weights less than 1 

were set to 1, and those greater than 6 were set to 6. 

The remaining non-integer weights were then 

rounded sequentially to reduce the distance of the 

estimated totals from the targets. 

Calibration adjustments began with the computation 

of a priority index for each record. The priority index 

was the absolute value of the gradient of the relative 

error associated with increasing or decreasing a 

record’s weight by one. The record with the highest 

priority index was then selected as a candidate to 

increase or decrease its weight by one to reduce the 

cumulative distance from the targets as measured by 

the relative error. If the new value produced an 

improvement and satisfied the range restrictions, the 

weight was updated and new priorities were assigned; 

otherwise, the record with the next highest priority 

index was processed. This process was iteratively 

performed until convergence was attained. Because 

census data collection was assumed to be complete for 

very large and unique farms, their weights were 

controlled to 1 during the calibration adjustment 

process. For all other farms, the final census record 

weights were forced to be an integer number in the 

interval [1, 6]. The calibration process considered all 

targets simultaneously through the priority index. 

Although calibration was seldom able to adjust 

weights so that all State targets were met, all targets 

were brought collectively as close to the targets as 

possible. 

The proportions of selected census data items that 

were due to coverage, response, and classification 

adjustments are displayed in Tables A and C. 

DISCLOSURE REVIEW

After tabulation and review of the aggregates, a 

comprehensive disclosure review was conducted. 

NASS is obligated to withhold, under Title 7, U.S. 

Code, any total that would reveal an individual’s 

information or allow it to be closely estimated by the 

public. Farm counts are not considered sensitive and 

are not subject to disclosure controls. Cell suppression 

was used to protect the cells that were determined to 

be sensitive to a disclosure of information. 

Based on agency standards, data cells were 

determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of 

information if they failed either of two rules. The 

threshold rule failed if the data cell contained less than 

three operations. For example, if only one farmer 

produced turkeys in a county, NASS could not 

publish the county total for turkey inventory without 

disclosing that individual’s information. The 

dominance rule failed if the distribution of the data 

within the cell allowed a data user to estimate any 

respondent’s data too closely. For example, if there 

are many farmers producing turkeys in a county and 

some of them were large enough to dominate the cell 

total, NASS could not publish the county total for 

turkey inventory without risking disclosing an 

individual respondent’s data. In both of these 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 13

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

situations, the data were suppressed and a “(D)” was 

placed in the cell in the census publication table. 

These data cells are referred to as primary 

suppressions.

Since most items were summed to marginal totals, 

primary suppressions within these summation 

relationships were protected by ensuring that there 

were additional suppressions within the linear 

relationship that provided adequate protection for the 

primary. A detailed computer routine selected 

additional data cells for suppression to ensure all

primary suppressions were properly protected. These 

data cells are referred to as complementary 

suppressions. These cells are not themselves sensitive 

to a disclosure of information but were suppressed to 

protect other primary suppressions. A “(D)” was also 

placed in the cell of the census publication table to 

indicate a complementary suppression. A data user 

cannot determine whether a cell with a (D) represents 

a primary or a complementary suppression.

Regional field office analysts reviewed all 

complementary suppressions to ensure no cells had 

been withheld that were vital to the data users. In 

instances where complementary suppressions were 

deemed critically important to a State or county, 

analysts requested an override and a different 

complementary cell was chosen.

CENSUS QUALITY

The purpose of the census of agriculture is to account 

for “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.” To accomplish this, NASS develops a CML 

that contains identifying information for operations 

that have an indication of meeting the census 

definition, develops procedures to collect agricultural 

information from those records, establishes criteria 

for analyst review of the data, creates computer 

routines to correct or complete the requested 

information, and provides census estimates of the 

characteristics of farms and farm producers with 

associated measures of uncertainty.

It is not likely that either the CML includes all 

operations that meet the definition of a farm or that all 

those that do meet the definition of a farm respond to 

the census inquiry. The goal is to publish data with a 

high level of quality. The quality of a census may be 

measured in many ways. One of the first indicators 

used is a measure of the response to the census data 

collection as it has generally been thought that a high 

response rate indicates more complete coverage of the 

population of interest. This is a valid assumption if the 

enumeration list, the CML here, has complete 

coverage of the population of interest. In the case of 

the census of agriculture, the definition requiring 

advance knowledge of sales makes achieving a high 

level of coverage difficult. To ensure that the census 

of agriculture is as complete as possible, records are 

included that might not meet the census definition of 

a farm – in fact, almost 50 percent more records than 

the anticipated number of qualifying farm operations 

were included in the 2017 CML. A second indicator 

of quality then is the coverage of the farm population 

by the CML. Other indicators of quality relate to the 

accuracy and completeness of the data, and the 

validity of the procedures used in processing the data.

In some cases, NASS was able to produce measures 

of quality – such as the response rate to the data 

collection, the coverage of the census mail list, and 

the variability of the final adjusted estimates. In other 

cases, measures were not produced but descriptions of 

procedures that NASS used to reduce errors from the 

procedures were subsequently provided.

Census Response Rate

The response rate is one indicator of the quality of a 

data collection. It is generally assumed that if a 

response rate is close to a full participation level of 

100 percent, the potential for nonresponse bias is 

small, although this has been questioned in the 

literature. The response rate for the 2017 Census of 

Agriculture CML was 71.8 percent, as compared with 

the 2012 Census of Agriculture’s response rate of 74.6 

percent and 78.2 percent for the 2007 Census of 

Agriculture.

The 2017 Census of Agriculture’s response rate used 

the fourth response rate formula (RR4) from the 

American Association of Public Opinion Research’s 

Response Rate Standard Definitions manual:
A - 14 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

where

Cadj = number of fully and partially completed 

records, excluding replicated records

R = number of explicit refusals

NC = number of non-contacted operations known to 

be eligible

O = number of other types of nonrespondents

Replicated = number of replicated records

U = number of operations of unknown eligibility

e(U) = estimated number of operations of unknown 

eligibility assumed to be eligible

Records were classified into the above variables 

based on the combination of their active status (AS) 

codes, in-scope status, and replication status. Active 

status refers to the eligibility status of records for 

selection on the CML. All replicated records were 

considered to be a form of nonresponse and were 

classified into other nonrespondents; in-scope status 

was considered immaterial.

Certain active status classifications indicated records 

of unknown agricultural status. These classifications 

included records to be removed from the CML but had 

data from outside sources indicating agricultural 

activity, new records from outside data sources, 

nonrespondents and refusals to the NACS, records for 

regional office handling only, and records with Farm 

Service Agency or Conservation Reserve Program 

data on operations that are not owned by the principal 

producer. These records were stratified (grouped) 

based on their probabilities of being in-scope had they 

responded. The estimated number of in-scope 

nonrespondents was calculated for the hth stratum 

(group) by the following formula:

where

e(Uh) = estimated number of operations of unknown 

eligibility assumed to be eligible in the hth group

Cin-scope,h = the number of completed and in-scope 

census records in the hth group

Ch = the number of completed census records in the 

hth group

Uh = number of operations of unknown eligibility in 

the hth group

Census Coverage

As a side-product of the statistical adjustment used to 

account for undercoverage, nonresponse of farms on 

the CML, and misclassification of responses to the 

census, the proportion of the adjustments due to each 

of those factors can be derived. The percentages of 

final census estimates due to adjustments for 

undercoverage, nonresponse, and misclassification as 

well as the total percent adjustment for selected items 

are displayed in Tables A and C. 

MEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS 

PROCESS

Although the census of agriculture does not inherently 

rely on a sample, NASS used a national nonresponse 

sample as part of its follow-up efforts in 2017. In 

addition to the uncertainty introduced by the 

nonresponse sample, NASS uses statistical 

procedures in compiling the CML, in its data 

collection procedures, in data editing and processing, 

and in compiling the final data. Additionally, it uses 

statistical procedures to both measure errors in the 

various processes and in making adjustments for 

those errors in the final data. One example is the 

statistical process used to account for undercoverage, 

nonresponse of farms on the CML, and 

misclassification of responses to the census. The basis 

of the undercoverage adjustment is the capturerecapture procedure that uses the area sample 

enumeration from the JAS. The largest contributors to 

error in the census estimates are due to the 

adjustments for nonresponse, undercoverage, 

misclassification, calibration, and integerization.

Variability in Census Estimates due to 

Statistical Adjustment

In conducting the 2017 Census of Agriculture, efforts 

were initiated to measure error associated with the 

adjustments for farm operations that were not on the 

CML, for farm operations that were on the CML but 

did not respond to the census report form, and for 

farms and nonfarms that were misclassified as 

nonfarms and farms, respectively, for calibration. 

These error measurements were developed from the 

standard error of the estimates at the national, State, 

and county levels and were expressed as coefficients 

of variation (CVs) at the national and State levels and 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 15

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

as generalized coefficients of variation (GCVs) at the 

county levels.

The standard error of an estimate is an estimate of the 

standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the 

estimator. Because Alaska was modeled separately 

from the other States, the variances of a national-level 

data item for this State was computed separately and 

added to the variance of that data item for the rest of 

the U.S. The standard error was then the square root 

of the total variance. In each case, standard errors 

were computed using an approach based on a 

combination of group jackknife and bootstrap 

methodologies. To conduct the jackknifing, k = 10 

mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups of JAS 

segments were formed. The groups were selected 

using a stratified random design so that each group 

reflected the survey design, including State and 

agricultural strata within a State. The weight of record 

i in jackknife group j is CRi

(j )for j = 1, 2, ..., k. Based 

on these weights, a group jackknife estimator to 

estimate the variance would account for the 

uncertainty associated with modeling the capturerecapture probabilities. To account for the additional 

uncertainty due to calibration, the weights within each 

jackknife group were transformed through bootstrap 

simulation; these transformed weights are called 

calibration-adjusted-jackknife weights. The full 

dataset, which is composed of the records of all 

responding farms on the CML, is calibrated as 

described in the Calibration section, and the final 

calibration-adjusted weight of record i is denoted by

ŵi. For each record i in jackknife group k, the 

calibration-adjusted-jackknife weights of that record 

can be approximated as wi

(j)=ai(j)CRi(j) where ai(j) ~ 

N(1,( ŵi – 1) / ŵi). The bootstrap process simulated the 

value of the adjustment ai

(j) for each record on the 

CML to obtain the calibration-adjusted-jackknife 

weights. For a given data item, such as the number of 

farms, the estimate T

(j) was computed at the specified 

geographical level, such as nation, State, or county, 

using the (k – 1) groups remaining after deleting the 

calibration-adjusted jackknife group j. Estimates of 

the variance and standard error associated with the 

estimator Ti are then, respectively, 

Increasing k improves the estimate of the variance but, 

as k increases, the observations become too sparse to 

reflect the survey design and to provide countrywide 

coverage. Ten (10) calibration-adjusted jackknife 

groups were used to provide standard errors for 2017 

State and national estimates. For the estimate of the 

number of farms with a given set of characteristics, 

only the CML records with those characteristics were 

used to obtain the overall estimate as well as the 

estimates from each calibration-adjusted jackknife 

group.

Note that the calibrated jackknife groups were only 

constructed once, and different subsets of the records 

were used to compute estimates and standard errors 

for the data items.

The CV is a measure of the relative amount of error 

associated with the sample estimate:

where SE(Ti) is the standard error of the capturerecapture estimate for data item i. This relative 

measure allows the reliability of a range of estimates 

to be compared. For example, the standard error is 

often larger for large population estimates than for 

small population estimates, but the large population 

estimates may have a smaller CV, indicating a more 

reliable estimate. For county-level estimates, a 

generalized coefficient of variation (GCV) was 

determined for each estimate within a State. A 

generalized variance function relates a function of the 

variance of an estimator to a function of the estimator. 

Within a State, the standard error of an estimate for a 

data item was often found to be linearly related to the 

estimate of that item with an intercept of zero. Based 

on this modeled relationship, the GCV is the slope of 

the line relating the standard error to the estimate, 

multiplied times 100 to represent the GCV as a 

percentage.

The standard error is the product of the CV (or GCV 

for county estimates) and the estimate divided by 100. 

As an example, if the GCV for a State is 25 percent 

and a county’s estimate is 4, then the standard error is 

25(4)/100 = 1. The standard error of an estimated data 

item from the census provides a measure of the error 

variation in the value of that estimated data item based 

on the possible outcomes of the census collection,

including variants as to who was on the CML, who 

returned a census form, who was misclassified either 

as a farm or as a nonfarm, and the uncertainty 

associated with calibration and integerization. With 

95 percent confidence, an estimate is within two 

standard errors of the true value being estimated. For 

this example, with 95 percent confidence, the estimate 

of 4 is within 2(1) = 2 of the true county value.

coefficient of variation for selected items. 

NONMEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS 

PROCESS

As noted in the previous section, sampling errors can 

be introduced from the coverage, nonresponse and 

misclassification adjustment procedures. This error is 

measureable. However, nonsampling errors are 

imbedded in the census process that cannot be directly 

measured as part of the design of the census but must 

be contained to ensure an accurate count. Extensive 

efforts were made to compile a complete and accurate 

mail list for the census, to elicit response to the 

census, to design an understandable report form with 

clear instructions, to minimize processing errors 

through the use of quality control measures, to reduce 

matching error associated with the capture-recapture 

estimation process, and to minimize error associated 

with identification of a respondent as a farm operation 

(referred to as classification error). The weight 

adjustment and tabulation processes recognize the 

presence of nonsampling errors; however, it is 

assumed that these errors are small and that, in total, 

the net effect is zero. In other words, the positive 

errors cancel the negative errors.

Respondent and Enumerator Error

Incorrect or incomplete responses to the census report 

form or to the questions posed by an enumerator can 

introduce error into the census data. Steps were taken 

in the design and execution of the census of 

agriculture to reduce errors from respondent 

reporting. Poor instructions and ambiguous 

definitions lead to misreporting. Respondents may not 

remember accurately, may estimate responses, or may 

record an item in the wrong cell. To reduce reporting 

and recording errors, the report form was tested prior 

to the census using industry accepted cognitive testing 

procedures. Detailed instructions for completing the 

report form were provided to each respondent. 

Questions were phrased as clearly as possible based 

on previous tests of the report form. Computerassisted telephone interviewing software included 

immediate integrity checks of recorded responses so 

suspect data could be verified or corrected. In 

addition, each respondent’s answers were checked for 

completeness and consistency by the complex edit 

and imputation system.

Processing Error

Processing of each census report form was another 

potential source of nonsampling error. All mail 

returns that included multiple reports, respondent 

remarks, or that were marked out of business and 

report forms with no reported data were sent to an 

analyst for verification and appropriate action. 

Integrity checks were performed by the imaging 

system and data transfer functions. Standard quality 

control procedures were in place that required that 

randomly selected batches of data keyed from image 

be re-entered by a different operator to verify the work 

and evaluate key entry operators. All systems and 

programs were thoroughly tested before going on-line 

and were monitored throughout the processing period.

Developing accurate processing methods is 

complicated by the complex structure of agriculture. 

Among the complexities are the many places to be 

included, the variety of arrangements under which 

farms are operated, the continuing changes in the 

relationship of producers to the farm operated, the 

expiration of leases and the initiation or renewal of 

leases, the problem of obtaining a complete list of 

agriculture operations, the difficulty of contacting and 

identifying some types of contractor/contractee 

relationships, the producer’s absence from the farm 

during the data collection period, and the producer’s 

opinion that part or all of the operation does not 

qualify and should not be included in the census. 

During data collection and processing of the census, 

all operations underwent a number of quality control 

checks to ensure results were as accurate as possible.

Item Nonresponse

All item nonresponse actions provide another 

opportunity to introduce measurement errors. 

Regardless of whether it was previously reported data, 

administrative data, the nearest neighbor algorithm, 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 17

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

the fully conditional specification method, or 

manually imputed by an analyst, some risk exists that 

the imputed value does not equal the actual value. 

Previously reported and administrative data were used 

only when they related to the census reference period. 

A new nearest neighbor was randomly selected for 

each incident to eliminate the chance of a consistent 

bias.

Record Matching Error

The process of building and expanding the CML 

involves finding new list sources and checking for 

names not on the list. An automated processing 

system compared each new name to the existing CML 

names and “linked” like records for the purpose of 

preventing duplication. New names with strong links 

to a CML name were discarded and those with no 

links were added as potential farms. Names with weak 

links, possible matches, were reviewed by staff to 

determine whether the new name should be added. 

Despite this thorough review, some new names may 

have been erroneously added or deleted. Additions 

could contribute to duplication (overcoverage) 

whereas deletions could contribute to undercoverage. 

As a result, some names received more than one 

report form, and some farm producers did not receive 

a report form. Respondents were instructed to 

complete one form and return all forms so the 

duplication could be removed.

Another chance for error came when comparing June 

Area Survey tract producer names to the CML. Area 

producers whose names were not found on the CML 

were part of the measure of list incompleteness, or

NML. Mistakes in determining overlap status resulted 

in overcounts (including a tract whose producer was 

on the CML) or undercounts (excluding a tract whose 

producer was not on the CML). All tracts determined 

to not be on the list were triple checked to eliminate, 

or at least minimize, any error. NML tract producers 

were mailed a report form printed in a different color. 

In order to attempt to identify duplication, all 

respondents who received multiple report forms were 

instructed to complete the CML version and return all 

forms so duplication could be removed.

Records in the 2017 JAS were matched to the 2017 

census using probabilistic record linkage. The records 

of operations with differing farm status were sent out 

to be reviewed by NASS regional field offices. If farm 

status could not be resolved, the probability of an 

operation being a farm was imputed using a missing 

data model. The uncertainty associated with this 

estimate, with the exception of model uncertainty, 

was accounted for, but errors not found through this 

process were not.

Appendix B.

General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS 

REPORT FORMS

Before the release of the 2012 Census of Agriculture’s 

results, NASS had already begun preparations for the 

2017 Census of Agriculture. The first team assembled 

was the 2017 Census Content Team, which evaluated 

the content and report form design for the census. 

They reviewed the 2012 report forms, solicited input 

from both internal and external customers, and 

developed criteria for determining acceptable content 

for inclusion in the 2017 Census of Agriculture. The 

team tested the effectiveness of the 2017 report forms 

for various modes of data collection (mail, telephone, 

personal interview, and electronic data reporting) and 

made recommendations to NASS senior executives 

for final determination.

Throughout development NASS sought the advice 

and input from the data user community. Integral 

partners included the Advisory Committee on 

Agriculture Statistics, State Departments of 

Agriculture and other State government officials, 

Federal agency officials, land grant universities, 

agricultural trade associations, media, and various 

community-based organizations. 

 

NASS conducted a three phase content test (OMB No. 

0535-0243) of the general and short census of 

agriculture forms. Phase 1 of this test began in early 

2016. The report forms were mailed to a nationwide 

sample of approximately 30,000 farm producers 

(23,500 producers received the general form and 

6,500 received the short form). The report forms were 

tested for question phrasing, form design and flow, 

respondent comprehension, and regional differences. 

NASS used mail and phone follow-up to conduct this 

phase of the test. For Phase 2 NASS conducted two 

rounds of cognitive interviews to discover problems 

and issues farm producers had with the report forms 

they received during Phase 1. Phase 3 was a test of the 

internet form to evaluate the feasibility of the online 

submission system. Content test results helped 

determine final report form content and design. A 

sample copy of the report form and instruction sheet 

is included in this appendix.

report forms that were published individually in 2012 

and combined as Other crops in 2017:

• Grains and oilseeds delivered under a production 

contract

• Vegetables, melons, and potatoes delivered under 

a production contract

• Other crops delivered under a production contract

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

The following definitions and explanations provide a 

detailed description of specific terms and phrases 

used in this publication. Items in the publication tables 

which carry the note ‘‘see text’’ also are explained. 

Report form section number references refer to the 

general version (17-A100). Many of the definitions 

and explanations are the same as those used in earlier 

censuses.

Acres and quantity harvested. Crops were reported 

in whole acres, except for the following crops that 

were reported in tenths of acres: tobacco, nursery and 

greenhouse crops in the open, vegetables including 

potatoes and sweet potatoes, fruit and nut crops 

including land in orchards, and berries. Totals for 

crops reported in tenths of acres were rounded to 

whole acres at the aggregate level during the 

tabulation process. 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 (double cropping), the acres were 

counted for each crop. Therefore, the total acres of all 

crops harvested could exceed the acres of cropland 

harvested. No double cropping is allowed for hay or 

fruit and nut crops. 

When more than one cutting of hay was taken from 

the same acres, the acres were counted only once. If 

there were multiple cuttings of one type of hay 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

production, e.g., two cuttings of alfalfa for dry hay, 

acreage was reported once but the quantity harvested 

includes all cuttings. Acreage cut and tons harvested 

for both dry hay and haylage, silage, or greenchop 

were reported for each crop. For interplanted crops or 

‘‘skip-row’’ crops, acres were reported according to 

the portion of the field occupied, whether by a crop or 

whether it was idle land. If a crop was interplanted in 

an orchard or vineyard and harvested, then the entire 

orchard or vineyard acreage was reported under the 

appropriate fruit crop and the interplanted estimated 

crop acreage was reported under the appropriate crop. 

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

not reported as harvested. These acres were reported 

in the Land Use section on the report form under the 

appropriate items – cropland on which all crops failed 

or were abandoned, cropland in summer fallow, 

cropland idle or used for cover crops or soilimprovement but not harvested and not pastured or 

grazed, or other pasture and grazing land that could 

have been used for crops without additional 

improvements. This does not include fruit and nut 

orchards, vineyards, berries, acres in production for 

cultivated Christmas trees, and acres in production for 

short rotation woody crops that were not harvested. 

Acreage in these commodities were included in 

cropland harvested regardless of whether the crop was 

harvested. Abandoned orchards were reported as 

cropland idle, not as harvested cropland, and the 

individual abandoned orchard crop acres were not 

reported.

Crops that were grazed by livestock were reported as 

“Other pasture and grazing land that could have been 

used for crops without additional improvements.” 

Crop residue left in fields after the 2017 harvest and 

later grazed by livestock were reported as cropland 

harvested and not as other pasture or grazing land that 

could have been used for crops.

Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as 

fruits, nuts, berries, vegetables, melons, nursery 

crops, and greenhouse crops. 

Agri-tourism and recreational services. See Total 

income from farm-related sources.

Agricultural products sold directly to individuals 

for human consumption. See Value of food sold 

directly to consumers.

American Indian and Alaska Native farm 

producers, total. Data are reported in Chapter 1, 

tables 52 through 77 and Chapter 2, tables 45 and 49. 

In Chapter 2, table 49 data are published for a 

maximum of four producers reported in the Personal 

Characteristics section of the report form. The 

individual producers were included on the census 

mail list for most reservations. Those reservations that 

did not include all the individual producers on the 

census mail list were identified and the data for the 

entire reservation, including the data for the producers 

that would have met the definition of a farm, were 

collected on one report form. The count of 

reservations and the number of producers that were 

reported on these reservations are included in 

Appendix A, Table D. 

Amount from Conservation Reserve, Wetlands 

Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, and Conservation 

Reserve Enhancement Programs. See Land 

enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), 

Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP).

Amount from State and local government 

agricultural program payments. See Total income 

from farm-related sources.

Amount spent to repay CCC loans. See also 

Commodity Credit Corporation loans. Farming 

operations that receive a CCC loan can use cash to 

repay the loan, purchase certificates for use in the 

repayment, or deliver the pledged collateral as full 

payment at maturity. If a farmer uses cash instead of 

certificates to repay the loan, the farmer and the IRS 

receive an information return showing the market 

gain realized. The farmer can repay the loan to the 
B - 4 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

CCC and then sell the grain, feed the grain, or store it. 

These provisions only apply until the maturity date of 

the loan. After the maturity date of the loan, the entire 

original loan principal and all accrued interest must be 

repaid or, as an alternative choice, the crop may be 

forfeited to CCC.

Animal production and aquaculture (112). See 

Farms by North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS).

Any poultry sold. The number of farms with any 

poultry sold includes all farms with sales of poultry, 

poultry hatched, or eggs.

Aquaculture. Aquaculture is defined as the farming 

of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquaculture 

products. The aquaculture production reported in the 

census requires some form of intervention in the 

rearing process and requires inputs such as seeding, 

stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. It 

also requires ownership of the stock being cultivated 

and harvesting that is conducted in a controlled 

environment by the operation. The value of sales 

includes all sizes and eggs by species and includes 

aquaculture distributed for restoration, conservation, 

or recreational purposes, such as State and Federal 

hatcheries. Distributed fish with unknown values 

were assigned a value based on sales of farm-raised 

fish. 

Aquaculture and other animal production (1125, 

1129). See Farms by North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). 

Aronia berries. This is a new item for 2017. In 2012 

and previous censuses, data were included in Other 

berries.

Aware of right to appeal an adverse program 

decision to USDA's National Appeals Division. 

This is a new item in 2017. The National Appeals 

Division (NAD) of the United States Department of 

Agriculture (USDA) provides an independent forum 

within USDA for program participants to seek 

administrative appeals of adverse agency decisions. 

Bantams. See Layers.

Beans, Lima. In 2012 data were published as Beans, 

Green lima. This is a wording change only; data are 

comparable.

Bees. See Colonies of honey bees and Honey 

collected.

Berries. Aronia berries and Elderberries are new 

items for 2017. In 2012 and previous censuses, data 

were included in Other berries. A new summarization 

of Blueberries, all for 2017, which combines 

Blueberries, tame and Blueberries, wild data was 

added. Raspberries, other was added as an additional 

breakout for the Raspberries, all summarization in 

2017. Berry acreage for 2017 was collected as bearing 

age and nonbearing age, similar to all other fruit 

crops; however, in 2012, data were collected as 

harvested and not harvested acres. 

Biodiesel production systems. See Renewable 

energy producing systems. 

Blueberries, all. This is a new summarization for 

2017. It combines Blueberries, tame and Blueberries, 

wild data.

Breeding livestock. See Total farm production 

expenses.

By economic class. See Economic class of farms.

Cattle on feed. Cattle on feed are steers and heifers 

being fed a ration of grain, silage, hay and/or protein 

supplement for slaughter market that are expected to 

produce a carcass that will grade select or better. It 

excludes cattle being "backgrounded only" for later 

sale as feeders or later placement in another feedlot. 

Cattle on feed sold. Data are for cattle on feed sold 

that weighed 500 pounds or more that were shipped 

directly from the feedlot to the slaughter market. This 

category excludes cattle that were pastured only, 

owned cattle that were shipped from feedlots operated 

by others, background feeder cattle, and veal calves.

Cattle weighing 500 pounds or more. In 2012 this 

item was referred to as Cattle, including calves 

weighing 500 pounds or more. This is a wording 

change only; data are comparable.

CCC loans. See Commodity Credit Corporation 

loans.
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Chemicals applied. For each type of chemical used, 

the acres treated were reported only once even if the 

acres were treated more than once. If multi-purpose 

chemicals were used, the acres treated for each 

purpose were reported. See Total farm production 

expenses; Chemicals.

Cherimoyas. This is a new item for 2017. In 2012 

cherimoyas were reported in other noncitrus fruit.

Cherries. Cherries were reported as either sweet 

cherries or tart cherries. Combined crops or nonspecified cherry acres were not options for the 

respondent. Total acres, bearing age acres, and 

nonbearing age acres were reported for each crop. 

Chickpeas. This is a new item for 2017. In 2012 

chickpeas were reported as dry edible beans. See Dry 

edible beans, excluding chickpeas and limas.

Christmas trees, cultivated. Data are for acres of 

Christmas trees - cut or to be cut - in production, acres 

irrigated, and number of trees cut. Sales data are 

included in the Cut Christmas trees and short rotation 

woody crops category. In 2012 this item was referred 

to as Cut Christmas trees. This is a wording change 

only; data are comparable. 

Christmas trees, live. Data were reported as nursery 

stock and include Christmas trees sold live, generally 

balled and burlapped, from the operation.

Coffee. This is a new item for 2017 in all States 

except for Hawaii. In 2012 and previous censuses 

except for Hawaii, data were included in other 

noncitrus fruit. Data include trees grown in the open 

as well as under shade or in greenhouses. Data for 

coffee relate to the July 2016 through June 2017 

harvest season.

Colonies of honey bees. Published colonies 

inventory is the total number of colonies owned on 

December 31, 2017. Colonies of bees were collected 

in their own section to clarify to respondents that only 

“owned” colonies were to be reported versus any 

colonies on the operation. In 2017 bee operations with 

multiple locations reported inventory on the location 

where the bees were present and the inventory was 

tabulated in those counties. Inventories in 2012 were 

tabulated in the county where the operation had the 

largest value of all agricultural products raised or 

produced. Data may not be comparable. Package bees 

were not included as separate colonies. 

Commodities raised and delivered under 

production contracts. A production contract is an 

agreement between a producer or grower and a 

contractor (integrator) setting terms, conditions, and 

fees to be paid by the contractor to the operation for 

the production of crops, livestock, or poultry. The 

grower receives a payment or fee from the contractor, 

generally after delivery, which is less than the full 

market price of the commodity. A production contract 

involves the shifting of some risk and control from the 

grower to the contractor. Marketing contracts, futures 

contracts, forward contracts, or other contracts based 

strictly on price are not considered production 

contracts. Commodities sold to a co-op where some 

of the input items were purchased from the same coop at a discount price were also excluded. Many 

operations produce commodities only under 

production contracts or only independently. Some 

operations may produce a commodity under 

production contract and also produce more of the 

same commodity that they sell independently. The 

production contract data are totals for the portion of 

agriculture production raised and delivered under 

production contract. Crops and livestock inventory, 

production, and value of sales are the total of all 

production, both independent and raised under 

production contract.

Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter under 

a production contract. Cattle under production 

contract which were not shipped directly to slaughter 

were reported in either Replacement dairy heifers 

under production contract or in the Other cattle, 

sheep, livestock, or poultry under production contract 

category. 

Grains, oilseeds, vegetables, melons, potatoes, and 

other crops under production contract. This category 

is the number of farms that produced and delivered 

any crop grown under a production contract. This item 

was reported as three different categories (grains and 

oilseeds, vegetables/melons/potatoes, and all other 

crops). 

Layers under production contract. The production 

contract is based on eggs, but the layers are owned by 

the contractor and are also under contract. The layers 
B - 6 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

are produced at the pullet farm, which may have a 

separate production contract. 

Other cattle, sheep, livestock, or poultry under 

production contract. The data for commodities raised 

and delivered under a production contract include 

cattle which were not shipped directly to slaughter 

(backgrounding), sheep, livestock, and poultry not 

listed separately. 

Commodity Credit Corporation loans. This 

category includes nonrecourse marketing loans for 

wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, rice, 

soybeans, Austrian winter peas, honey, dry edible 

peas, lentils, chickpeas, peanuts, sunflower seed, 

flaxseed, canola and other rapeseed, safflower, 

mustard seed, crambe, sesame seed, wool and mohair.

Corn, Traditional or Indian. This is a new item for 

2017. Traditional corn is an open-pollinated (nonhybrid), non-GMO cultivar of Zea mays that was 

indigenously developed and consists of many heritage 

varieties of sizes, color, and drought tolerance. 

Traditional corn grown on southwest reservations has 

been passed from generation to generation through 

seed saving by American Indian and Hispanic 

communities. Traditional corn is culturally 

significant. 

Cover crop seed purchased. See Total farm 

production expenses.

Crop and livestock insurance payments received. 

See Total income from farm-related sources.

Crop units of measure. The report form allowed the 

producer to report the quantity of field crops 

harvested in a unit of measure commonly used in the 

region. When the producer reported in units different 

than the unit of measure published, the quantity 

harvested was converted to the published unit of 

measure.

Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity 

harvested are for the calendar year 2017 except for 

coffee. Data for coffee relate to July 2016 through 

June 2017. 

Cropland, harvested. See Harvested cropland.

Cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil 

improvement but not harvested and not pastured 

or grazed. Cropland idle includes any other acreage 

which could have been used for crops without any 

additional improvement and which was not reported 

as cropland harvested, cropland on which all crops 

failed, cropland in summer fallow, or other pasture or 

grazing land that could have been used for crops 

without additional improvements. This category 

includes:

1. Land used for cover crops or soil improvement but 

not harvested or grazed.

2. Land in Federal or State conservation programs 

that was not hayed or grazed in 2017.

3. Land occupied with growing crops for harvest in 

2018 or later years but not harvested or summer 

fallowed in 2017 (except fruit or nuts in an 

orchard, grove, or vineyard or berries being 

maintained for production). Examples are acreage 

planted in winter wheat, strawberries, etc., for 

harvest in 2018 and no crop was harvested from 

these acres in 2017.

4. Land in “skipped” rows between rows of crops or 

field strips. 

Cropland in summer fallow. This includes cropland 

cultivated or treated with herbicides to control weeds 

and conserve moisture and not seeded or harvested in 

2017. It includes cropland summer fallowed in 2017 

and planted to a crop (i.e., winter wheat, etc.) for 

harvest in 2018. In 2012 this item was referred to as 

Cultivated summer fallow. This is a wording change 

only; data are comparable.

Cropland, irrigated. See Irrigated land.

Cropland on which intensive tillage practices were 

used. See Land use practices. 

Cropland on which reduced tillage, excluding notill, practices were used. See Land use practices. 

Cropland, other. See Other cropland.

Cropland, total. See Total cropland.

Cropland used only for pasture or grazing. See 

other pasture and grazing land that could have been

used for crops without additional improvements.

Crustaceans. These are invertebrate animals with 

jointed legs and a hard shelled segmented body. 

Examples include crawfish, lobster, prawns, shrimp, 

and softshell crabs. 

Cultivated Christmas trees. See Christmas trees, 

cultivated. 

Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter. 

See Commodities raised and delivered under 

production contract.

Customwork and custom hauling. See Total farm 

production expenses. 

Customwork and other agricultural services. See 

Total income from farm-related sources. 

Cuttings, seedlings, liners, and plugs. See Nursery, 

greenhouse, floriculture, and sod. 

Data are based on sample of farms. For censuses 

from 1987 through 2002, selected data items were 

collected from only a sample of farms. These data 

were subject to sampling error.

Depreciation expenses claimed. The calculation of 

total farm production expenses does not include 

depreciation because it is a capital expense. 

Depreciation allows the expensing of capital 

purchases over multiple years. It is not included in 

the calculation of Net cash farm income.

Don't know. This is a new option in 2017 under the 

farms with internet access question. Those producers 

who were unable to determine how they receive their 

internet were able to check “Don’t know.”

Dry edible beans, excluding chickpeas and limas. 

Dry edible beans do not include chickpeas, dry edible 

peas, dry lima beans, or dry southern (black 

eyed/cowpeas). In 2012, chickpeas (garbanzo beans) 

were included in dry edible beans. Data are not 

directly comparable to 2012.

Ducks, geese, and other miscellaneous poultry. See 

Miscellaneous poultry. 

Economic class of farms. Economic class data are 

the classification of farms by the sum of market value 

of agricultural products sold and Federal farm 

program payments. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments. 

See Farms with sales and government payments of 

less than $1,000. 

Elderberries. This is a new item for 2017. In 2012 

and previous censuses, data were included in Other 

berries.

Energy. See Renewable energy producing systems.

Equine products. This category includes horse 

breeding fees, stud fees, semen, and other equine 

products and excludes boarding, training and riding 

facilities income. In 2012 equine products were 

included in Other livestock products.

Ethanol production systems. See Renewable energy 

producing systems.

Expenses. See Total farm production expenses. 

Farm or ranch producer. See Producer. 

Farms by combined government payments and 

market value of agricultural products sold. This 

category represents the value of products sold plus 

government payments. Total value of products sold 

combines total sales not under production contract 

and total sales under production contract. 

Government payments consist of government 

payments received from the Conservation Reserve 

Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), 

Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or Conservation 

Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) plus 

government payments received from Federal 

programs other than the CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP, 

and Commodity Credit Corporation loans. 

Farms by economic class. See Economic class of 

farms and Total market value of agricultural products 

sold and government payments.

Farms by legal status. All farms were classified by 

legal status in the 2017 census. This section collects 

information for federal tax purposes to determine an 

operation’s legal status. The classifications used 

were:
B - 8 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

1. Family or individual (sole proprietorship), 

excluding partnership and corporation.

2. Partnership, including family partnership – in 

selected tables, partnership was further 

subclassified into: 

a. Registered under State law. 

b. Not registered under State law. 

3. Corporation, including family corporations - in 

selected tables, corporation was further 

subclassified into: 

a. Family held or other than family held. 

b. More than 10 stockholders. 

4. Other - estate or trust, prison farm, grazing 

association, American Indian reservation, etc.

Farms by North American Industry Classification 

System (NAICS). The NAICS classifies economic 

activities. It was jointly developed by Mexico, 

Canada, and the U.S. NAICS makes it possible to 

produce comparable industrial statistics for Mexico, 

Canada, and the U.S. For the 2017 census, all 

agricultural production establishments (farms, 

ranches, nurseries, greenhouses, etc.) were classified 

by type of activity or activities using the NAICS code. 

The 2017 census is the fifth census to use NAICS. 

Censuses prior to the 1997 census used the old 

Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to 

classify farms.

NAICS was developed to provide a consistent 

framework for the collection, analysis, and 

dissemination of industrial statistics used by 

government policy analysts, academia and 

researchers, the business community, and the public. 

It is the first industry classification system developed 

in accordance with a single principle of aggregation 

that production units using similar production 

processes should be grouped together. Though 

NAICS differs from other industry classification 

systems, statistics compiled on NAICS are 

comparable with statistics compiled according to the 

latest revision of the United Nations’ International 

Standard Industrial Classification, Revision Four, 

(ISIC, Revision 4) for some 60 high level groupings. 

Following are explanations of the major 

classifications used in 2017.

Oilseed and grain farming (1111). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing 

oilseed and/or grain crops and/or (2) producing 

oilseed and grain seeds. These crops have an annual 

life cycle and are typically grown in open fields. This 

category includes corn silage and grain silage.

Vegetable and melon farming (11121). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in one or more of 

the following: (1) growing vegetables and/or melon 

crops, (2) producing vegetable and melon seeds, and 

(3) growing vegetable and/or melon bedding plants.

Fruit and tree nut farming (1113). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in growing fruit 

and/or tree nut crops. These crops are generally not 

grown from seeds and have a perennial life cycle. 

Greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production 

(1114). Comprises establishments primarily engaged 

in growing crops of any kind under cover and/or 

growing nursery stock and flowers. ‘‘Under cover’’ 

is generally defined as greenhouses, cold frames, 

cloth houses, and lath houses. Crops grown are 

removed at various stages of maturity and have annual 

and perennial life cycles. The category includes short 

rotation woody crops and Christmas trees that have a 

growing and harvesting cycle of 10 years or less.

Other crop farming (1119). Comprises establishments 

primarily engaged in (1) growing crops such as 

tobacco, cotton, sugarcane, hay, sugarbeets, peanuts, 

agave, herbs and spices, and hay and grass seeds, or 

(2) growing a combination of the valid crops with no 

one crop or family of crops accounting for one-half of 

the establishment’s agricultural production (value of 

crops for market). Crops not included in this category 

are oilseeds, grains, vegetables and melons, fruits, 

tree nuts, greenhouse, nursery and floriculture 

products. 

All other crop farming (11199). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing 

crops (except oilseeds and/or grains; vegetables 

and/or melons; fruits and/or tree nuts; greenhouse, 

nursery, and/or floriculture products; tobacco; cotton; 

sugarcane; or hay) or (2) growing a combination of 

crops (except a combination of oilseed(s) and 

grain(s)); and a combination of fruit(s) and tree nut(s) 

with no one crop or family of crops accounting for 

one-half of the establishment’s agricultural 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 9

production.

Animal production and aquaculture (112). Industries 

in the Animal Production and Aquaculture subsector 

raise or fatten animals for the sale of animals or 

animal products and/or raise aquatic plants and 

animals in controlled or selected aquatic 

environments for the sale of aquatic plants, animals, 

or their products. The subsector includes 

establishments, such as ranches, farms, and feedlots 

primarily engaged in keeping, grazing, breeding, or 

feeding animals. These animals are kept for the 

products they produce or for eventual sale. The 

animals are generally raised in various environments, 

from total confinement or captivity to feeding on an 

open range pasture. The industries in this subsector 

are grouped by important factors, such as suitable 

grazing or pasture land, specialized buildings, type of 

equipment, and the amount and types of labor 

required. Establishments are classified to the Animal 

Production and Aquaculture subsector when animal 

production (i.e., value of animals for market) accounts 

for one-half or more of the establishment's total 

agricultural production. Establishments with one-half 

or more animal production with no one animal 

product or family of animal products of an industry 

accounting for one half of the establishment's 

agricultural production are treated as combination 

animal farming classified to Industry 11299, All 

Other Animal Production.

Beef cattle ranching and farming (112111). 

Comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

raising cattle (including cattle for dairy herd 

replacements). Pastureland-only farms, those with 

only 100 or more acres of pastureland, were classified 

as “All other animal production farming (11299).”

Cattle feedlots (112112). Comprises establishments 

primarily engaged in feeding cattle for fattening. 

Dairy cattle and milk production (112120). This 

industry comprises establishments primarily engaged 

in milking dairy cattle. 

Poultry and egg production (1123). This industry 

group comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

breeding, hatching, and raising poultry for meat or 

egg production.

Sheep and goat farming (1124). This industry group 

comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

raising sheep, lambs, and goats, or feeding lambs for 

fattening.

Aquaculture (1125). Comprises establishments 

primarily engaged in the farm raising of finfish, 

shellfish, or any other kind of animal aquaculture. 

These establishments use some form of intervention 

in the rearing process to enhance production, such as 

holding in captivity, regular stocking, feeding, and 

protecting from predators.

Other animal production (1129). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in raising animals 

and insects (except cattle, hogs and pigs, poultry, 

sheep and goats, and aquaculture) for sale or product 

production. These establishments are primarily 

engaged in one of the following: bees, horses and 

other equine, rabbits and other fur-bearing animals, 

etc. and producing products such as honey and other 

bee products. Establishments primarily engaged in 

raising a combination of animals with no one animal 

or family of animals accounting for one-half of the 

establishment’s agricultural production are included 

in this industry group. Farms with only 100 acres or 

more of pastureland were classified as “All other 

animal production farming (11299).”

Farms by number of households sharing in net 

income of operation. Households that received funds 

because they were only landlords, custom equipment 

producers, or provided other production services were 

not included. Published data can exceed the number 

of producers listed under Producers, all.

Farms by size. All farms were classified into size 

groups according to the total land area in the farm. 

The land area of a farm is an operating unit concept 

and includes land owned and operated as well as land 

rented from others. Land rented to or assigned to a 

tenant was considered part of the tenant’s farm and 

not part of the owner’s.

Farms by tenure of producer. All farms were 

classified by tenure of producers. The classifications 

used were:

• Full owners operated only land they owned.

• Part owners operated land they owned and also 

land they rented from others.
B - 10 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

• Tenants operated only land they rented from others 

or worked on shares for others.

Farms with hired managers are classified according to 

the land ownership characteristics reported. For 

example, a corporation owns all the land used on the 

farm and hires a manager to run the farm. The hired 

manager is considered the farm producer, and the 

farm is classified with a tenure type of “full owner” 

even though the hired manager owns none of the land 

he/she operates.

Farms by type of organization. The data categorizes 

an operation’s ownership. 

Operation more than 50 percent owned by one 

producer’s household and/or extended family. The 

data are used to measure the principal producers’ 

ownership interest in the organization. In 2012 this 

item was labeled Operations with 50 percent or more 

ownership interest held by operator and/or persons 

related by blood, marriage, or adoption. This is a 

wording change only; data are comparable.

Limited Liability Company. This type of farm 

structure combines the pass-through taxation of a 

partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited 

liability of a corporation.

Farms by value of sales. See Market value of 

agricultural products sold.

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

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

equivalent. Both represent 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

Farms with sales and government payments of less 

than $1,000. This category includes farms with 

combined sales and government payments of less than 

$1,000 but having the potential for sales of $1,000 or 

more. It provides information on all items for farms 

that normally would be expected to sell agricultural 

products of $1,000.

Farms with sales of less than $1,000. This category 

includes farms with sales of less than $1,000 but 

having the potential for sales of $1,000 or more. Some 

of these farms had no sales in the census year. It 

provides information on all report form items for 

farms that normally would be expected to sell 

agricultural products of $1,000 or more.

Fertilizer. See Total farm production expenses; 

Fertilizer, lime, and soil conditioners.

Field and grass seed crops, all. Data are for all the 

field and grass seed crops not published as field crops 

and include field seed crops which did not have a 

specific code on the 2017 report form.

Foliage plants, indoor (including hanging baskets). 

For 2017 “(including hanging baskets)” was added to 

the description for clarity. Data are comparable.

Food marketing practices. This is a new section for 

2017. This section consists of sales of edible 

agricultural products that are both produced and sold 

by the operation directly to consumers (farmers 

markets, on farm stores or farm stand, roadside stands 

or stores, u-pick, CSA, online marketplaces, etc.) or 

retail markets, institutions, or food hubs for local or 

regionally branding. Retail and institutional 

establishments include supermarkets, supercenters, 

restaurants, caterers, independently owned grocery 

stores, food cooperatives, K-12 schools, colleges or 

universities, hospitals, workplace cafeterias, prisons, 

foodbanks, etc. 

Forage - land used for all hay and all haylage, grass 

silage, and greenchop. Data shown represent the area 

harvested with each acre counted only once if dry hay, 

haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were cut from the 

same acreage or if there were multiple cuttings of dry 

hay, haylage, grass silage, or greenchop. Data exclude 

corn silage and sorghum silage. Quantity produced is 

the sum of the quantity harvested of all hay including 

alfalfa, other dry hay, and all haylage, grass silage and 

greenchop after converting the all haylage, grass 

silage, and greenchop quantity harvested to a dry 

equivalent basis (13 percent moisture). The green tons 

of all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop harvested 

were multiplied by a factor of 0.4943 to convert to a 

dry equivalent. This conversion factor is based on the 

assumption that one ton of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry 

matter, one ton of haylage or grass silage is 0.45 ton

dry matter, and one ton of greenchop is 0.25 ton dry 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 11

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

matter. The all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop 

quantity harvested is assumed to be comprised of 90 

percent haylage and grass silage and 10 percent 

greenchop. Therefore, the conversion factor used to 

adjust all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop 

quantity harvested to a dry equivalent basis = 

[(0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1)]/0.87 = 0.4943.

Fruits and tree nuts. Total acres, bearing age acres, 

and nonbearing age acres were collected. 

Geothermal/geoexchange systems. See Renewable 

energy producing systems.

Ginger root. In 2017 data for ginger root are included 

in the vegetable section. In 2012 and previous 

censuses, data were included in the field crop section. 

Government payments. This category consists of 

payments from Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable 

Wetlands Program (FWP), and Conservation Reserve 

Enhancement Program (CREP); loan deficiency 

payments; disaster payments; other conservation 

programs; and all other Federal farm programs under 

which payments were made directly to farm 

producers, including those specified in the 2014 

Agricultural Act (Farm Bill), including Agriculture 

Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage 

(PLC). Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) 

proceeds, amount from State and local government 

agricultural program payments, and Federal crop 

insurance payments were not tabulated in this 

category. 

Grain and bean combines. Data were collected for 

self-propelled combines only. 

Grains, oilseeds, dry beans, and dry peas sales. 

Data are for the total market value of cash grains sold, 

including corn for grain, seed, or silage; wheat for 

grain; soybeans for beans; sorghum for grain, seed, or 

silage; barley for grain; rice; oats for grain; and other 

grains. Also included is the total market value of cash 

oilseeds sold, including sunflower seed (oil and nonoil), flaxseed, canola, rapeseed, safflower seed, 

mustard seed, dry beans, and dry peas. 

Grains, oilseeds, vegetables, melons, potatoes, and 

other crops. See Commodities raised and delivered 

under production contracts.

Greenhouse fruits and berries. Data include 

strawberries, raspberries, etc. grown in greenhouses 

and high tunnels where the crops were always 

covered. See Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, and 

sod.

Gross cash rent or share payments. See Total 

income from farm-related sources. 

Had a barn that was built prior to 1960. This is a 

new question asked of producers in 2017. The last 

time this question was asked was on the 2007 Census 

of Agriculture. 

Harvested cropland. This category includes land 

from which crops were harvested and hay was cut, 

land used to grow short rotation woody crops, 

Christmas trees, and land in orchards, groves, 

vineyards, berries, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land 

from which two or more crops were harvested was 

counted only once. Land in tapped maple trees was 

included in woodland not pastured. The 2017 census 

definition for harvested cropland is the same as the 

2012 definition. 

Hay - all hay including alfalfa, and other dry. Data 

shown represent the acreage and quantity harvested of 

all types of dry hay. The quantity harvested was 

reported in dry tons (dry weight at the time the hay 

was removed from the field for storage or feeding). If 

two or more cuttings of dry hay were made from the 

same field, the acreage was reported only once as 

acres harvested of the appropriate dry hay category 

but the production from all dry hay cuttings was 

combined in the corresponding quantity harvested. 

Straw acreage and production are excluded.

If dry hay was cut from the same land that haylage, 

grass silage, or greenchop was cut, the acreage and 

production for the dry hay was reported in the 

appropriate category of dry hay and the acreage and 

production for haylage, grass silage, or greenchop 

was reported in the appropriate haylage, grass silage, 

or greenchop category. For example, if 20 acres of 

alfalfa were cut for hay and then the same land was 

used to produce alfalfa haylage, 20 acres and the 

quantity harvested of hay were reported as Alfalfa and 

alfalfa mixtures for dry hay and 20 acres and the 

quantity harvested of alfalfa haylage were reported as 

Haylage or greenchop from alfalfa or alfalfa mixtures.
B - 12 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Hay, other dry hay. Data shown represent acreage 

and dry tons of hay harvested from clover, fescue, 

lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudangrass, 

sorghum hay, and other types of legumes (excluding 

alfalfa) and tame grasses. For 2017, data include small 

grains harvested for hay including barley, oats, rye, 

and wheat as well as wild hay. In 2012 this item was 

reported in three categories – Small grain dry hay, 

Other tame dry hay, and Wild hay. 

Haylage, grass silage, and greenchop, all. Data 

shown represent the acreage and quantity harvested of 

all types (alfalfa and all other haylage, grass silage, 

and greenchop). The quantity harvested was reported 

in green tons. If two or more cuttings of haylage, grass 

silage, or greenchop were made from the same field, 

the acreage was reported as acres harvested in the 

appropriate haylage category only once, and the 

tonnage from all cuttings was combined in the 

corresponding quantity harvested. Straw acreage and 

production is excluded.

Hired farm labor. Data are for total hired farm 

workers, including paid family members, by number 

of days worked. Data exclude contract laborers.

Hired managers. A hired manager is someone who 

receives a wage to manage the farm operation. For 

2017 up to four hired managers were reported for each 

farm operation. In 2012 only one hired manager per 

farm was published.

Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin. Producers of 

Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin are found in all of 

the racial groups listed in the census and were 

tabulated according to the race reported, as well as on 

tables pertaining only to this group.

Hogs and pigs by type of operation. Hog and pig 

farms were classified by primary type of operation. 

Operation types were farrow to wean, farrow to 

feeder, farrow to finish, nursery, finish only, and 

other. Each description was accepted and the reported 

inventory and sales data were assigned to each 

reported type. 

Hogs and pigs by type of producer. Hog and pig 

farms were classified by one type of producer. 

Producer types were independent grower, contractor 

or integrator, and contract grower (contractee). Each 

description was accepted and the reported inventory 

and sales data were assigned to each reported type.

Honey collected. Data are for pounds of honey 

collected but not necessarily sold. See Colonies of 

honey bees. 

Horses and ponies sales. Data are for horses sold or 

moved off the farming operation regardless of 

ownership. In 2012 data only included value of owned 

horses sold.

Income. Net cash farm income is published for the 

operation and producer. The difference between net 

cash income and net cash returns is that net cash 

returns does not include government payments and 

other farm-related income as income. See Net cash 

farm income of the operations and Net cash farm 

income of the producers.

Income from farm-related sources. See Total 

income from farm-related sources.

Institutional, research, experimental, and 

American Indian Reservation farms. Data for these 

farms are combined into a single category. Research 

farms include farms operated by private companies as 

well as those operated by universities, colleges, and 

government organizations for the purpose of 

expanding agricultural knowledge.

Internet access. This item is the number of farms that 

reported using personal computers, laptops, or mobile 

devices (e.g., cell phones or tablets) to access the 

internet. This can be done using services such as dialup, DSL, cable modem, fiber-optic, mobile internet 

service for a cell phone or other device (tablet), 

satellite, or other methods. In 2017 respondents were 

also able to report connecting with an unknown 

service type, labeled as “Don’t know” in the 

publication tables. 

Involvement in decisionmaking. This is a new item 

in 2017. Questions were asked about each producer’s 

involvement in farm-related decisions, including dayto-day decisions, land use and/or crop decisions, 

livestock decisions, record keeping and/or financial 

management, and estate planning or succession 

planning. 

Irrigated land. This category includes all land 

watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 13

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

sprinklers, flooding, furrows or ditches, subirrigation, and spreader dikes. Included are 

supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each 

acre was counted only once regardless of the number 

of times it was irrigated or harvested. If an operation 

reported less than one acre irrigated, the irrigated land 

for the operation was rounded to one acre. Livestock 

lagoon wastewater distributed by sprinkler or flood 

systems was also included.

Land area, approximate. The approximate land area 

represents the total land area as determined by records 

and calculations as of January 1, 2017. The proportion 

of land area in farms may exceed 100 percent because 

some operations have land in two or more counties, 

but all acres are tabulated in the principal county of 

operation. The approximate land area data were 

supplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

Bureau of the Census. See Land in two or more 

counties. 

Land enrolled in crop insurance programs. The 

data are for all land enrolled in any Federal, private, 

or other crop insurance program. It includes acreage 

of pasture/rangeland enrolled in crop insurance 

programs in areas where it is provided.

Land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve 

Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program 

(WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP). CRP is a program established by the USDA 

in 1985 that takes land prone to erosion out of 

production for 10 to 15 years and devotes it to 

conservation uses. In return, farmers receive an 

annual rental payment for carrying out approved 

conservation practices on the conservation acreage. 

The WRP, FWP, and CREP programs are included 

under the Conservation Reserve Program. 

Operations with land enrolled in the CRP, WRP, 

FWP, or CREP 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. 

Land in berries. Data are for total land in berries. 

Respondents in 2017 reported bearing age acres and 

nonbearing acres by individual berry crops. In 2012 

and previous censuses, respondents reported acres 

harvested and acres not harvested of individual berry 

crops. 

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 

producer’s total operation. Large acreages of 

woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural 

purposes were deleted from individual reports during 

the edit process. Land in farms includes CRP, WRP, 

FWP, and CREP acres.

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 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 reported by the 

grazing association and included as land in farms. All 

land in American Indian reservations used for 

growing crops, grazing livestock, or with the potential 

of grazing livestock was included as land in farms. 

Land in reservations not reported by reservation, 

individual American Indians, or non-Native 

Americans was reported in the name of the 

cooperative group that used the land. In a few 

instances, an entire American Indian reservation was 

reported as one farm.

Land in orchards. Starting in 2017, pineapples were 

moved from the field crops section to the fruit and nut 

section. As a result, land in orchards includes 

pineapples in 2017 and land in orchards is not directly 

comparable to 2012. This category includes land in 

bearing age and nonbearing age fruit trees, citrus or 

other groves, vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, 

including land on which all fruit crops failed. 

Respondents also reported bearing age acres and 

nonbearing age acres by individual fruit and nut crops.

Land in two or more counties. With few exceptions, 

the land in each farm was tabulated as being in the 

producer’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. Reports 
B - 14 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

received showing land in more than one county were 

separated into two or more reports if the data would 

substantially distort county totals.

Land irrigated at least once in the past five years. 

Data represent the total number of acres irrigated on 

the operation over the past five years. Land from 

different years can be added together as long as the 

land was irrigated at least once and the plots of land 

were in different locations. While land can be 

irrigated multiple times over the course of five years, 

it can only be counted once. In some situations, 

operations can report more acres irrigated in the past 

than they currently have, e.g., operations that rented 

irrigated acres to or from others in the past had more 

irrigated land than their current operation. 

Land use practices. Includes all agricultural land 

used for the production of agricultural commodities.

Drained by tile. Tile drainage is a practice that 

removes excess water from the soils subsurface. 

Artificially drained by ditches. A field ditch installed 

for surface drainage for collecting excess surface or 

subsurface water in a field.

Conservation easement. A conservation easement is a 

legal agreement voluntarily entered into by a property 

owner and a qualified conservation organization such 

as a land trust or government agency. This category 

excludes land in CRP (Conservation Reserve 

Program) acres. 

No-till practices used. Using no-till or minimum till 

is a practice used for weed control and helps reduce 

weed seed germination by not disturbing the soil.

Reduced tillage. Conserves the soil by reducing 

erosion and decreasing water pollution. In 2012 this 

category was labeled conservation tillage. This is a 

wording change only; data are comparable.

Intensive tillage. Refers to tillage operations that use 

standard practices for a specific location and crop to 

bury crop residues. In 2012, this category was labeled 

conventional tillage. 

Cover crop. A crop planted primarily to manage soil 

fertility, soil quality, water, weeds, pests, diseases, or 

wildlife. This item does not include CRP acres. 

Land used for vegetables. Data are for the total land 

used for vegetable and melon crops. The acres were 

reported only once, even though two or more harvests 

of a vegetable or more than one vegetable were 

harvested from the same acres. Respondents also 

reported harvested acres, acres harvested for fresh 

market, and acres harvested for processing by 

individual vegetable crops.

Landlord’s share of the total sales. Data represent 

the share of the operation’s total sales that went to 

landlord(s). 

Layers. This category includes table-egg type layers, 

hatching layers for meat-types, hatching layers for 

table egg types, and reported bantams. 

Legal status for tax purposes. See Farms by legal 

status.

Less than $1,000. See Farms with sales and 

government payments of less than $1,000. 

Livestock and poultry purchased or leased. See 

Total farm production expenses; Livestock and 

poultry purchased or leased. 

Maple syrup. Data are for the number of taps set, 

syrup produced, and value of sales.

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 2017 

regardless of who received the payment. It is 

equivalent to total sales and it includes sales by the 

producers as well as the value of any shares received 

by partners, landlords, contractors, or others 

associated with the operation. It includes value of 

organic sales, direct sales and the value of 

commodities placed in the Commodity Credit 

Corporation (CCC) loan program. Market value of 

agricultural products sold does not include payments 

received for participation in other Federal farm

programs. It does not include income from farmrelated sources such as customwork and other 

agricultural services, or income from nonfarm 

sources.

The value of crops sold in 2017 does not necessarily 

represent the sales from crops harvested in 2017. Data
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 15

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

may include sales from crops produced in earlier 

years and may exclude some crops produced in 2017 

but held in storage and not sold. For commodities 

such as sugarbeets and wool sold through a co-op that 

made payments in several installments, respondents 

were requested to report the total value received in 

2017.

The value of agricultural products sold was requested 

of all producers. If the producers failed to report this 

information, estimates were made based on the 

amount of crops harvested, livestock or poultry 

inventory, or number sold. Caution should be used 

when comparing sales in the 2017 census with sales 

reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures are 

expressed in current dollars and have not been 

adjusted for inflation or deflation. See Farms with 

sales and government payments of less than $1,000.

Market value of agricultural products sold and 

government payments. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments.

Medical supplies, veterinary, and custom services 

for livestock. See Total farm production expenses.

Methane digesters. See Renewable energy 

producing systems.

Migrant farm labor on farms reporting only 

contract labor. Data are for those operations that did 

not have hired farm workers but reported that they did 

have migrant contract workers on their operation in 

2017.

Migrant farm labor on farms with hired labor. 

Producers were asked whether any hired or contract 

workers were migrant workers. A migrant farm 

worker is a farm worker whose employment required 

travel that prevented the worker from returning to 

his/her permanent place of residence the same day.

Migrant workers, total. Data are for total migrant 

farm workers whose employment requires travel that 

prevents the worker from returning to his or her 

permanent place of residence the same day.

producer with military service is a person who 

currently or previously served on active duty in the 

U.S. Armed Forces. 

Mink, live. The data are for inventory and sales of 

live mink. Number of farms producing mink pelts are 

included in Other livestock products.

Miscellaneous poultry. Data are for poultry other 

than chickens or turkeys. Data are published in 

Chapter 2, table 20.

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 write-in crop code. 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.

Mobile internet service for a cell phone or other 

device. This includes counts of farm operations that 

reported accessing the internet from a mobile device, 

such as cell phone or tablet. In 2012 this item was 

labeled Mobile broadband plan for a computer or a 

cell phone. This is a wording change only; data are 

comparable.

Mollusks. These are invertebrate animals with a soft 

body covering and shells of 1-18 parts or sections. 

Examples include abalones, clams, mussels, oysters, 

and snails. See Aquaculture. 

More than one race reported. This category 

represents producers who reported more than one race 

on the census form. 

Mushroom spawn. Respondents reported only sales; 

growing area was not summarized. 

Mushrooms. All mushroom crops were considered 

grown under glass or other protection and no 

mushroom data were published as area in the open. 

Those reporting mushrooms grown in the open area 

were converted to an equivalent area of square feet 

under protection proportional to their sales. 

NAICS. See Farms by North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). 

Net cash farm income of the operations. This 

concept is derived by subtracting total farm expenses 

from total sales, government payments, and other 
B - 16 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

farm-related income. Depreciation is not used in the 

calculation of net cash farm income. Net cash farm 

income of the operation includes the value of 

commodities produced under production contract by 

the contract growers. 

For publication purposes, farms are divided into two 

categories:

1. Farms with net gains (includes those operations 

that broke even).

2. Farms with net losses.

Net cash farm income of producers. This value is 

the producers’ total revenue (fees for producing under 

a production contract, total sales not under a 

production contract, government payments, and farmrelated income) minus total expenses paid by the 

producers. Net cash farm income of the producer 

includes the payments received for producing under a 

production contract and does not include value of 

commodities produced under production contract by 

the contract growers. Depreciation is not used in the 

calculation of net cash farm income.

For publication purposes, farms are divided into two 

categories:

1. Farms with net gains (includes those producers that 

broke even).

2. Farms with net losses.

New and beginning producers. This is a new 

category for 2017. It includes producers operating on 

any operation for 10 years or less. They may be on 

farms with producers who are not beginning 

producers. 

Noncitrus fruit, all. This is a summation of all acres 

reported in the commodities defined as noncitrus such 

as apples, grapes, and plums. Data for 2017 include 

pineapples. In 2012 and previous censuses, 

pineapples were included in field crops. Data are not 

directly comparable.

Number of female producers. This item is the total 

count of female producers involved in decisions for 

the operation reported by the respondent. Detailed 

demographic data are only available for up to four 

producers per farm operation. 

Number of male producers. This item is the total 

count of male producers involved in decisions for the 

operation reported by the respondent. Detailed 

demographic data are only available for up to four 

producers per farm operation. 

Number of persons living in producers’ 

households. This is the count of people living in the 

households of the producers on the farm. If producers 

on the farm are living in the same household, the 

count is not duplicated for each producer. 

Number of producers. This item is the total count 

of producers involved in decisions for the operation 

reported by the respondent. Detailed demographic 

data are only available for up to four producers per 

farm operation. 

Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, and sod. Data 

are for total square feet under protection and acres in 

the open. Individual crop data were collected for area 

under glass or other protection, area in the open, and 

sales of aquatic plants, floriculture and bedding crops, 

nursery crops, sod, propagative materials, food crops 

grown under protection, and mushroom crops. Total 

sales data are the summation of all crops. 

Nursery stock crops. Data include ornamentals, 

shrubs, shade trees, flowering trees, evergreens, live 

Christmas trees, fruit and nut trees and plants, vines, 

palms, ornamental grasses, and bare root herbaceous 

perennials.

with the term “producers.”

Oranges, all. All oranges are a summation of 

Valencia oranges and Other than Valencia oranges. 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 17

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Total acres, bearing age acres, and nonbearing age 

acres were collected by category. 

Oranges, other than Valencia – include Navel. This 

includes all oranges other than Valencia type. In 2012 

this item was referred to as Other oranges. This is a 

wording change only; data are comparable. 

Organic agriculture. Respondents were instructed to 

indicate if they had organic production according to 

USDA’s National Organic Program (NOP). 

Respondents reported whether their organic 

production was certified or exempt from certification 

and the sales from NOP produced commodities. They 

also reported whether they had acres transitioning into 

NOP production and the value of sales of USDA NOP 

certified or exempt organically produced 

commodities. Also see Total organic product sales.

This category includes number of farms and value of 

sales for all animals and animal products not listed 

elsewhere on that specific table. 

Other aquaculture products. This category includes 

aquaculture not listed separately. Examples include 

the production of alligators, frogs, leeches, eels, live 

rock, salamanders, and turtles.

harvested cropland or other pasture and grazing land 

that could have been used for crops without additional 

improvements. It includes cropland idle or used for 

cover crops or soil improvement, cropland on which 

all crops failed or were abandoned, and cropland in 

summer fallow.

Other crops. In Chapter 2, table 27, Other crops data 

relate to any field crops that did not have a specific 

code in the field crops section of the report form.

Other crops and hay. Data are for the total market 

value of all crops not categorized into one of the 

prelisted crop sales categories on the report form. This 

category includes crops such as grass seed, hay and 

grass silage, haylage, greenchop, hops, maple syrup,

include the number of farms that sold livestock 

products that did not have a specific code on the 2017 

report form. In addition beeswax, breeding fees, 

embryos, fur or pelts, horns, manure sold, and semen 

are included in this category. In 2012 equine products 

were included but in 2017 they were reported 

separately. Data are for farms with production, not 

necessarily sold. The data are not directly 

comparable. 

Other noncitrus fruit. Data relate to any noncitrus

for crops without additional improvement. Also 

included are acres of crops grazed by livestock, but 

not harvested prior to grazing. However, cropland 

that was pastured before or after crops were 

harvested in 2017 was included as harvested 

cropland rather than cropland for pasture or grazing. 

Other poultry. Data are for other poultry not having 

a specific code on the report form. 

Other spring wheat for grain. In 2012 other spring 

wheat for grain was sometimes referred to as spring 

wheat for grain. In 2017, spring wheat is consistently 

referred to as other spring wheat for grain. See also 

Wheat for grain.

Other vegetables. Data shown for other vegetables 

relate to any vegetable not having a specific code on 

the census form.

Payments received by the contractee for 

commodities produced under production contract. 

These data show the number of farms and the dollar 

amount the contractees received from contractors for 

commodities produced under contract. This is not the 

market value of the commodities delivered, but the 

payment or fee the producers received for 

commodities delivered.

Peaches, all. In 2017 data were collected as Peaches, 

clingstone and Peaches, freestone in all States except 

Hawaii, which only collected Peaches, all. In 2012 

and previous censuses, data for all peaches were 

collected as a category in all States except for 

California and Arizona. Peach data in California and 

Arizona were collected separately for clingstone and 

freestone peaches. The data were later combined as 

Peaches, all for publication. Data for clingstone and 

freestone are found in the California and Arizona 

publications only.

Peacocks and peahens. Peacocks and peahens were 

reported as other poultry.

Pears, all. In 2017 data were collected as Pears, 

Bartlett and Pears, other than Bartlett in all States 

except Hawaii, which only collected Pears, all. In 

2012 and previous censuses, data for all pears were 

collected as a category in all States except for 

California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, and 

Washington. These States collected data separately 

for Bartlett pears and Other pears which were later 

combined into the Pear, all category. 

Peas, green. Excludes all dry peas which were 

collected in the field crop section. Also excluded are 

Chinese peas and southern peas which were reported 

separately. In 2012 this item was labeled Peas, green 

(excluding southern). This is a wording change only; 

data are comparable.
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 19

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Peas, southern (cowpeas) – blackeyed, crowder, 

etc. Excludes dry peas which were collected in the 

field crop section. In 2012 this item was referred to as 

Peas, green southern (cowpeas). This is a wording 

change only; data are comparable.

Pecans, all. All pecans is a summation of Pecans, 

improved and Pecans, native and seedling. Total 

acres, bearing acres, and nonbearing acres were 

collected by category.

Pecans, improved. Improved pecans are varieties 

that have been genetically altered through breeding 

and grafting techniques to produce more nuts, and 

nuts with a greater percentage of nut meat. See 

Pecans, all.

Pecans, native and seedlings. Native pecans are 

varieties that developed under natural conditions. 

Seedling pecans are produced from seed (the nut) and 

have not been budded or grafted. See Pecans, all.

Peppers, Bell (excluding pimientos). Pimientos 

were reported as Other vegetables. 

Peppers, other than Bell (including chile). The data 

include all other peppers including chile. Pimientos 

were reported as Other vegetables. 

Permanent pasture and rangeland, other than 

cropland and woodland pastured. This land use 

category encompasses grazable land that does not 

qualify as woodland pasture or cropland pasture. It 

may be irrigated or dry land. In some areas, it can be 

a high quality pasture that could not be cropped 

without improvements. In other areas, it is barely able 

to be grazed and is only marginally better than 

wasteland. 

Pineapples. In 2017 pineapples were included in the 

noncitrus fruit section. Data for 2012 and previous 

censuses were included in the field crop section.

Plumcots, pluots, and other plum-apricot hybrids. 

This category includes everything that is not a plum 

or prune. Pluot is a registered trademark of plumcots, 

which are genetic crosses between plums and 

apricots.

Plums. In 2017 plums are published as a separate 

item. In 2012 plums were reported as an individual 

item only in California and Arizona. All other States 

reported plums in a combined plum and prune 

category. 

Potatoes. Potato acres are included in the vegetable 

acres. Data are for total acres harvested, acres 

harvested for fresh market, and acres harvested for 

processing. Production was not collected. 

Poultry hatched. This category includes all poultry 

hatched on the operation during the year. The number 

of poultry hatched is published under the sales 

heading.

Poultry, other. See Other poultry.

Primary occupation of producer. Data on primary 

occupation were obtained from up to four producers 

per farm. The primary occupation classifications used 

were:

1. Farm or ranch work. The producer spent 50 

percent or more of his/her worktime during 2017

farming or ranching.

 

2. Other. The producer spent less than 50 percent of 

his/her worktime during 2017 farming or 

ranching.

Producer. The term producer designates a person 

who is involved in making decisions for the farm 

operation. Decisions may include decisions about 

such things as planting, harvesting, livestock 

management, and marketing. The producer may be 

the owner, a member of the owner’s household, a 

hired manager, a tenant, a renter, or a sharecropper. If 

a person rents land to others or has land worked on 

shares by others, he/she is considered the producer 

only of the land which is retained for his/her own 

operation. The census collected information on the 

total number of male producers, the total number of 

female producers, and demographic information for 

up to four producers per farm. 

Producer characteristics. Producers (up to four 

producers per farm) were asked to report primary 

occupation, sex, age, race, if they were of Hispanic, 

Latino or Spanish origin, place of residence, if retired 

from farming, number of days worked off farm, year 

in which his/her operation of the farm began, year 

began operating any farm, if they were a hired 
B - 20 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

manager, if they had military service, and the number 

of persons living in the their households. In addition 

the total number of male and female producers was 

collected from each operation. 

Producer, primary. One primary producer is 

designated for each farm. A primary producer is a 

principal producer (comparable to 2012 principal 

operator). If multiple principal producers were 

reported on a farm, a primary producer was chosen by 

designating the person who made the most decisions 

for the farm. If equal decisions were made, the 

primary producer was the person who worked off the 

farm the least. If multiple principal producers worked 

the least off the farm, a random choice was made as 

to which producer was the single designated primary 

producer. 

Producers, all non-principal. Demographic data 

were collected for up to four producers per farm. Each 

producer was asked if they were a principal operator 

or senior partner. A non-principal producer is a 

producer who did not indicate they were a principal 

operator. There may be no non-principal producers on 

a farm.

Producers, all principal. Demographic data were 

collected for up to four producers per farm. Each 

producer was asked if they were a principal operator 

or senior partner. A principal producer is a producer 

who indicated they were a principal operator. There 

may be multiple principal producers on a farm. Each 

farm has at least one principal producer. 

Producers, number. Demographic and other 

information were collected for up to four producers 

per farm. This may be fewer than the total number of 

producers on some farms. 

Producers of Hispanic, Latino or Spanish origin. 

This category is relabeled from 2012.

Producers with military service. This category is 

new for 2017. A producer with military service is a 

person who currently or previously served on active 

duty in the U. S. Armed Forces.

Production contracts. See Commodities raised and 

delivered under production contracts.

Production expenses. See Total farm production 

expenses.

Prunes. In 2017 prunes are published as a separate 

item. In 2012 and prior years, prunes were reported as 

an individual item only in California and Arizona. All 

other States reported prunes in a combined plum and 

prune category.

Pullets for laying flock replacement. Data are for 

pullet inventory and the number sold or moved for 

laying flock replacement. 

Rabbits, live. The data are for inventory and sales of 

live rabbits. The number of rabbit pelts is included in 

Other livestock products. 

Race of producer. With the exception of Hawaii, 

data were collected for American Indian and Alaska 

Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native 

Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and White 

producers. Respondents were asked to mark one or 

more of the race categories. In Hawaii producer race 

data were collected for American Indian (included 

Alaska Native), Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, 

Other Asian, Black or African American, Native 

Hawaiian, other Pacific Islander, and White. The 

combination of Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific 

Islander is equivalent to the Native Hawaiian or Other 

Pacific Islander category on the other forms. The 

combination of the Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, 

Korean, and Other Asian categories is equivalent to 

the Asian category on the other forms. The Volume 1,

of systems produce power, heat, or mechanical energy 

by converting resources either to electricity or to 

motor power.

Biodiesel production systems. Data are for production 

of non-petroleum based diesel fuel made from 

vegetable oil or animal fats. Biodiesel can be used 

alone or blended with conventional petroleum-based 

diesel fuel.

Ethanol production systems. A fuel produced by 

converting crops such as corn and sugarcane, biomass 

crops, or wood. This fuel is generally blended with 

gasoline. Production of ethanol for fuel requires a 

permit from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and 

Firearms (ATF). Only ethanol production for fuel was 

reported. 

Geothermal/geoexchange system. A system that uses 

temperatures from the earth to reduce the operational 

costs of heating and cooling. 

Methane digesters. It is a device which captures 

biogas resulting from the decomposition of manure, 

processing by-products, and other materials.

producers from whom detailed demographic data 

were collected. Total male and female producer 

counts may be larger. 

Sheep and lambs inventory. Data are for sheep and 

lambs of all ages owned regardless of location. Sheep 

and lambs were collected in their own section to 

clarify to respondents when to report “owned” sheep 

and lambs versus any sheep and lambs on the 

operation. Prior to 2017 in the Eastern States, data 

were collected for sheep and lambs regardless of 

ownership.

Short rotation woody crops. Data are for short 

rotation woody crops that grow from seed to a mature 

tree in 10 years or less. These are trees for use by the 

paper or pulp industry or as engineered wood. This 

does not include lumber. Acres in production were 

included in Cropland harvested in the Land use 

section of the report form. 

Size of farm. See Farms by size.

data for Temples were published separately. Data are 

not directly comparable.

Taro. A tropical plant grown primarily for its edible 

corms or root. Beginning in 2017 data were reported 

in the vegetable section. In 2012 and previous 

censuses, data for taro root were reported in the field 

crop section.

Tenure. See Farms by tenure of producer.

Tobacco transplants. Data are for tobacco 

transplants that were sold for transplant to farm fields.

and not expenses for land rented to others. The 2017 

total farm production expenditure includes all farmrelated expenses such as customwork, fuel costs, cost 

of cutting timber, services provided to hunters, 

cooperative membership fees, etc. However, if the 

income from these farm-related categories was not 

considered a part of the operation (i.e., if the income 

was regarded as derived from a separate business), 

then the associated expenses were not included. The 

contractor’s portion of expenses was solely based on 

computer generated estimates for 2017.

activities such as trading and speculation in the 

commodities market or livestock trading activities. 

Explanations of selected production expenses are 

listed below.

value when they arrived on the farm or ranch. 

Cash rent paid in 2017 for land and buildings. These 

data include the cost of renting land and buildings that 

were part of the operation. Rent paid for the 

producer’s dwelling or other non-farm property and

contractors, crew leaders, cooperatives, or any other 

organization hired to furnish a crew of laborers to do 

a job that may involve one or more agricultural 

operations. In some cases, a crew leader may furnish 

some equipment. Data exclude expenses made on a 

contractual basis for repair or maintenance or for 

capital improvements, such as construction of farm 

buildings, installation of fences or irrigation systems,

annual income. Forest farming is the intentional management

of woodlands to grow non-tree crops such as mushrooms,

berries, and root crops under trees. Riparian forest buffers are

natural or planted trees, shrubs and grasses adjacent to water

bodies to protect water resources from non-point source

pollution.
