Acknowledgments

This report was prepared under the direction of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA),

National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Many people participated in the various

activities of the 2002 Census of Agriculture and deserve recognition for their contributions

to the program.

NASS pays special tribute to the two million farm and ranch operators who furnished the

information requested. Their cooperation and support made it possible to collect and publish

the data in this report. Other USDA agencies and representatives from State departments

of agriculture offered significant advice during the planning, data collection, and processing

phases of the census. They provided invaluable assistance at the local level to farmers and

ranchers completing census report forms. Also, NASS acknowledges our partnership with

the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Processing Center in Jeffersonville, IN and the

services they provided to collect and capture data.

Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and representatives of both

public and private organizations made significant recommendations that helped establish

data content. NASS appreciates their strong and consistent support for census programs.

NASS expresses gratitude to the press, farm magazines, radio and television stations, farm

organizations, State departments of agriculture, and enumerators from the National

Association of State Departments of Agriculture for their help in publicizing the census and

encouraging cooperation of farmers and ranchers.

2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION VII

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Introduction

OVERVIEW

The 2002 Census of Agriculture was taken to obtain

agricultural statistics for each county or county

equivalent, state, and the Nation. The organization,

content, and format of this publication are similar to

previous Volume 1, Geographic Area Series

publications. Program and policy decisions created

several changes to the data published for 2002. These

changes affected data comparability for some items.

A new section, Data Changes and Comparability, on

page X provides detail about the more noteworthy

changes.

HISTORY

For 156 years (1840 - 1996), the U.S. Department of

Commerce, Bureau of the Census was responsible for

collecting census of agriculture data. The 1997

Appropriations Act contained a provision that

transferred the responsibility for the census of

agriculture from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA), National

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The 2002

Census of Agriculture is the 26th Federal census of

agriculture and the second conducted by NASS.

The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part

of the sixth decennial census of population. The

agriculture census continued to be taken as part of the

decennial census through 1950. A separate middecade census of agriculture was conducted in 1925,

1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, the census was

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

Congress authorized the census of agriculture to be

taken for 1978 and 1982 to adjust the data reference

year so that it coincided with other economic censuses.

This adjustment in timing established the agriculture

census on a 5-year cycle collecting data for years

ending in 2 and 7.

USES OF CENSUS DATA

The census of agriculture is the leading source of facts

and statistics about the Nation’s agricultural

production. It provides a detailed picture of U.S.

farms and ranches every five years and is the only

source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data for

every state and county or county equivalent in the U.S.

Agriculture census data are routinely used by farm

organizations, businesses, state departments of

agriculture, elected representatives and legislative

bodies at all levels of government, public and private

sector analysts, and colleges and universities.

Agriculture census data are used to:

• Evaluate, change, promote, and formulate farm and

rural policies and programs that help agricultural

producers;

• Study historical trends, assess current conditions,

and plan for the future;

• Formulate market strategies, provide more

efficient production and distribution systems, and

locate facilities for agricultural communities;

• Make energy projections and forecast needs for

agricultural producers and their communities;

• Develop new and improved methods to increase

agricultural production and profitability;

• Allocate local and national funds for farm

programs, e.g. extension service projects,

agricultural research, soil conservation programs,

and land-grant colleges and universities;

• Plan for operations during drought and emergency

outbreaks of diseases or infestations of pests.

In addition agricultural news media and agricultural

associations use census data as background material

for stories and articles on U.S. agriculture and the

foods we produce.

AUTHORITY

The 2002 Census of Agriculture is required by law

under the “Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,” Public

Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, Section

2204g). The law directs the Secretary of Agriculture

to conduct a census of agriculture in 1998 and in every

fifth year after, covering the prior year. The census of

agriculture includes each state, Puerto Rico, Guam, the

U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of

Northern Mariana Islands.

FARM DEFINITION

The 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 has been used in each subsequent

agriculture census. This definition is consistent with

the definition used for current USDA surveys.

REFERENCE PERIOD

Reference periods for the 2002 Census of Agriculture

were similar to those used in the 1997 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 A, General

Explanation for details.

• Livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment

inventories, market value of land and buildings,

and grain storage capacity are measured as of

December 31 of the census year.

• Crop and livestock sales, farm expenses, income

from federal farm programs, irrigation,

Commodity Credit Corporation loans,

Conservation Reserve and Wetlands Reserve

Program participation, direct sales income,

chemical and fertilizer use, farm-related income,

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 1974 census and tables 2 through 54 show

detailed state-level data usually accompanied by

historical data from the 1997 census. Tables 55

through 61 show detailed state-level data crosstabulated by several categories for the 2002 census

only.

Chapter 2. County-level data are presented in 51

tables in 2 different table formats - county and county

summary. Most tables include 1997 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. This is a change from

the reporting practices of past censuses when data for

counties with a limited number of farms reporting an

item were combined and reported as "all other

counties."

Appendix A. Provides information about data

collection and data processing activities. It also

includes definitions of specific terms and phrases used

in this publication, including items in the publication

tables that carry the note "see text."

Appendix B. Describes supplemental activities

conducted to improve coverage of American Indian

and Alaska Native farm operators. Table A shows the

total number of American Indian or Alaska Native

farm operators both on and off reservations by county.

Table B compares selected farm characteristics for

farms operated by American Indian and Alaska Native

farm operators and all farms. Table C provides

selected operator characteristics of American Indian

and Alaska Native farm operators.

Appendix C. Discusses the statistical methodology

used in conducting and evaluating the census. Table A

summarizes nonresponse and coverage adjustment for

selected items for the state. Table B provides

reliability estimates of state totals for selected items.

Table C summarizes nonresponse and coverage

adjustment for selected items at the county level.

Appendix D. Provides facsimiles of the report forms

and instruction sheets used to collect data.
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION IX

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

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 operators. These activities

included, but were not limited to:

• Obtaining mail lists from organizations likely to

contain names and addresses of minority farm

operators; and

• Conducting pre-census promotion activities that

targeted women, American Indian and Alaska

Native, Black and African American, and Spanish,

Hispanic, or Latino origin farm operators.

SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM

TABULATIONS

Special studies such as the 2003 Farm and Ranch

Irrigation Survey and 2005 Census of Aquaculture are

part of the census program and provide supplemental

information to the 2002 Census of Agriculture in the

respective subject area. Results are published in print

and 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

cost-reimbursable basis and shared with the public.

The census Volume 1 on CD-ROM is an alternative

data source that 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:

X DATA CHANGES AND COMPARABILITY 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Data Changes and Comparability

Several changes were made to the 2002 census

program. Report form content and wording were

improved, several publication tables were redesigned,

and tabulated data were adjusted for coverage. In

some instances, comparability with previous censuses

was effected. 

REPORT FORM CHANGES

Report form changes involved eliminating items that

were no longer necessary or duplicated data collected

on surveys, and adding new items that were included

to cover emerging agricultural products and practices.

Several production-related items were deleted,

including production of fruits, nuts, and berries;

number of bearing and nonbearing age trees or vines;

litters of hogs farrowed; number of hogs sold for

slaughter; number of sheep and lambs shorn; and

pounds of wool shorn. Deleted sales items were gross

value of sales for cattle fattened on grain or

concentrates, feeder pigs sold, and value of individual

nursery items and individual grain and bean

commodities. The farm-related injuries and deaths

section was also eliminated.

New economic data were collected to provide a more

complete picture of farm income and expenses.

Questions relating to net cash income of the operator

and the operation, and landlord share of income and

expenses were added. Information about production

contracts, grain storage, and organic farming were also

collected.

For the first time, information was collected for up to

three operators on each farm. For those operators who

would self-identify as being of multiple races (i.e.,

selected more than one race code on the report form),

a “more than one race” category was added to the

publication to better represent those individuals.

Questions relating to computer use and Internet access

on the farm were included. Principal operators were

asked to report whether they worked as the hired

manager on the operation, the number of households

receiving income, and percent of income from

farming. 

Other changes involved splitting items from the 1997

census into multiple parts to provide more detailed

data, and in some cases items from the 1997 census

were combined which helped reduce respondent

burden. Several questions were reworded to improve

respondent comprehension.

PUBLICATION TABLE CHANGES

In previous censuses, States and counties with a

minimal number of operations reporting an item were

collapsed and published in the “all other states” and

“all other counties” categories. For 2002, States and

counties with at least one operation reported were

published. This change provides more detailed

information at the state/county level.

COMPARABILITY

The 2002 Census of Agriculture introduced new

methodology to account for all farms in the United

States. Incompleteness in the census mail list was

measured by matching list names against all qualifying

operations found through canvassing sample land areas

throughout the Nation. All published 2002 census

items (except in Hawaii and Alaska) were reweighted

for undercoverage. To provide comparable data,

comparable 1997 data published in 2002 were also

reweighted for undercoverage. An explanation of the

methodology is included in Appendix C.

2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-1

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A.

General Explanation

DATA COLLECTION

Mail List

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)

maintains a list of farmers and ranchers from which the

census mail list (CML) was compiled. In 2000, NASS

began an intensive push to increase list coverage in

preparation for the census. Sources included state and

federal government lists, producer association lists,

seed grower lists, pesticide applicator lists,

veterinarian lists, marketing association lists, and

special commodity lists. The goal was to build as

complete a list as possible of agricultural places that

produce and sell, or would normally sell, $1,000 or

more of agricultural products. Additional detail

regarding the 2002 census mail list is provided in

Appendix C.

Method of Enumeration

Mailout and mailback methodology was the primary

data collection method. It was supplemented with

followups by telephone and personal enumeration.

The enumeration methods used in the 2002 census

were similar to those used in the 1997 census.

Report Forms

Two report form types - nonsample and sample - were

used to collect census information. Nonsample forms

consisted of 19 sections that collected basic

information (acreage and land use, crops, livestock and

poultry raised, grain storage capacity, production

contracts and custom feeding, value of sales,

Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loans, federal

farm program payments, income from farm-related

sources, and organizational and operator

characteristics). Sample forms contained the same 19

sections on the nonsample forms plus an additional 5

sections that covered production expenses, fertilizer

and chemical applications, machinery and equipment

used, market value of land and buildings, and farm

labor. The sample form collected sufficient data to

make reliable estimates for these additional topics and

yet reduce total respondent burden. A sample form

was mailed to approximately 569,000 addresses on the

CML and a nonsample form was mailed to 2.23

million addresses.

Twelve regional versions of the nonsample form and

13 regional versions of the sample form were used. 

Region 13, Alaska, did not have a nonsample form

version. Each regional version prelisted major crops

of significance to the respective region.

Report Form Mailings and Respondent

Followup

Mailout packet preparation, initial mailout, both

followup mailings, and receipt and check-in of

returned report forms were handled by the Census

Bureau’s National Processing Center (NPC) in

Jeffersonville, IN. NASS statisticians on site at NPC

provided technical guidance and monitored NPC

processing activities. 

The initial mailout took place during the middle of

December 2002. Approximately 2.8 million packets

were mailed. Each packet contained a cover letter,

instruction sheet, a labeled report form, and a return

envelope. 

There were two followup mailings to nonrespondents.

The first followup was mailed mid-February 2003 and

involved about 1.4 million nonrespondents. A second

followup mailout occurred in late March 2003 and

involved approximately 650,000 nonrespondents.

Prior to the initial mailout, NASS’s field offices

selected (tagged) approximately 30,000 respondents

for personal enumeration rather than mailout and
A-2 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

mailback enumeration. Report forms were labeled at

NPC and shipped to the field offices for enumeration.

These respondents were excluded from the initial and

both followup mailings. Once enumerated, the records

were sent to NPC for check-in and data capture.

Operating concurrently with NPC’s data collection

efforts, the field offices targeted select groups of

census nonrespondents to receive additional

enumeration efforts because of their statistical

influence. These efforts were referred to as Advanced

Followup, Must Followup, Low-Response County

Followup, and Last Call.

Advanced Followup was conducted between February

2003 and April 2003 and focused on three groups of

nonrespondents. The groups consisted of 1)

respondents thought to be least likely to respond to the

census; 2) respondents thought to be easy and quick

interviews; and 3) those for which NASS was

uncertain of their true farm status. The field offices

carried out all phases of these activities for their

respective respondents. Computer-Assisted Telephone

Interviewing (CATI) and face-to-face interviewing

were used to collect the data.

Must Followup was a very important component in

ensuring a complete census. Must cases are large

operations, the absence of which could significantly

affect the accuracy of census results. Approximately

122,000 respondents were identified as Must cases.

Each Must operation was enumerated, or if no longer

in operation, their non-farm status verified and

documented. The field offices were responsible for

enumerating or resolving all Must cases in their area.

CATI calling of nonrespondent Must cases was

conducted between March 2003 and June 2003.

Extensive effort was made to contact and enumerate

these operations.

Low-Response County Followup was conducted by the

field offices, as needed, to increase the response rate in

all counties to at least 75-percent. CATI was used for

this followup activity. Followup activities began midApril 2003 and continued until all counties reached a

75-percent response rate.

Last Call Followup was used to increase the overall

U.S. response rate and was conducted via CATI. This

activity was conducted if a state’s response rate was

less than the 1997 response rate at the completion of

the Low-response County Followup. Implementation

of this activity varied by field office. This followup

activity, if needed, began in early April 2003 and

continued through mid-July 2003. Last Call

nonrespondents were contacted by enumerators in the

respective field offices or by an analyst in one of the

NASS Telephone Calling Centers.

DATA CAPTURE

Data capture activities associated with the 2002 census

were very different from those employed during the

1997 census. For 1997, data were captured using data

entry clerks who keyed data from the report forms at

the Census Bureau’s National Processing Center

(NPC). Data capture for the 2002 census consisted of

scanning the report forms and capturing the data

directly from the scanned images utilizing Automated

Data Capture. Automated Data Capture consists of

Optical Character Recognition (OCR), Intelligent

Character Recognition (ICR), and Optical Mark

Recognition (OMR). Utilizing this method of data

capture allowed the images of the report forms to be

available to the field offices for use in subsequent

processing and analysis steps. 

Data capture was supplemented by the field offices’

use of CATI software to collect data for certain groups

of nonrespondents. CATI data were electronically

captured and submitted for processing via NASS’s

Local Area Network. In addition, each field office

used existing Blaise Data Capture software, modified

for the content of the report forms, to key data.

DATA PROCESSING

Data processing involved checking and editing data for

consistency and reasonableness, reviewing the

tabulated data, and the application of disclosure

analysis to ensure that the tabulated data did not

violate census confidentiality requirements.

Captured data and report form images from the

scanning operation at NPC were loaded to the census

database at NASS. Respondent data were edited using

a computerized edit based on detailed editing

specifications designed to minimize the number of

records that needed manual intervention. Each

respondent record was edited by the complex edit
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

based on data in the database and subjected to a

detailed item-by-item review. The edit performed

comprehensive checks for consistency and

reasonableness, and corrected erroneous or

inconsistent data. The edit process included an

Analysis System comprised of a set of tools that

included mechanisms for identification and grouping

of problem records and a means for manual correction

of those records.

Final data review occurred after record-level data were

error free and final weighting (nonresponse, sample,

and coverage) was applied. The field offices

conducted the final data review process. It involved a

systematic, item-by-item review of each value to be

published at the county and state level. A nationallevel review was undertaken concurrently by

Headquarters staff. 

After final data review was completed, disclosure

analysis programs were run. Suppressed values were

reviewed by the field offices and Headquarters staff

prior to releasing the data to the public.

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND

PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS

Promotional and outreach programs were primarily

handled by each of the 46 NASS field offices. NASS

Headquarters staff conducted the national effort

through the national headquarters of various USDA

agencies, farm organizations, agriculture associations,

and others and prepared materials the field offices

could customize to meet their target audiences.

The field offices worked with the commissioners of

agriculture, governors, and other officials to obtain

verbal support of the census in their speeches and

public appearances and through their written

communications to their constituencies. To improve

the coverage of minorities, field offices made special

promotional efforts through American Indian tribal

leaders, limited-resource farm organizations, and

women’s associations. 

Census promotion and publicity activities encouraged

complete participation in the census and also urged

anyone who was involved in agriculture to call the tollfree number and request a report form if they did not

receive one in the mail.

DATA CHANGES

Prior to each agriculture census, the content of the

report forms and publication tables is reviewed to

eliminate items no longer needed, identify necessary

new items, and modify existing items to better describe

the agricultural situation in the Nation. Data requests

are solicited from farm organizations, land-grant

universities, state and Federal agencies, State

departments of agriculture, agribusinesses, the

Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics, and

others. Each data user is asked to identify and justify

his/her specific data needs. As a result of this process,

changes were made to several areas of the 2002 report

form.

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.

For an exact wording of the questions on the 2002

report forms and the information sheet which

accompanied these forms, see Appendix D. 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: potatoes,

sweetpotatoes, tobacco, fruit and nut crops including

land in orchards, berries, vegetables, nursery and

greenhouse crops in the open; in Hawaii, taro, ginger
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-7

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

root, and lotus root; and in Wisconsin and Michigan,

ginseng. 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, the acres were counted for each

crop. Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested

generally exceeded the acres of cropland harvested.

An exception to this procedure was hay crops.

When more than one cutting of hay was taken from the

same acres, the acres were counted only once but the

quantity harvested included all cuttings. Acreage cut

for both dry hay and haylage, silage, or greenchop was

reported for each crop. For interplanted crops or

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

the portion of the field occupied by each crop. 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’’ section on the report form under the

appropriate cropland items – cropland used only for

pasture or grazing, cropland on which all crops failed

or were abandoned, cropland idle or used for cover

crops or soil-improvement but not harvested and not

pastured or grazed, or cropland in cultivated summer

fallow. This does not include fruit and nut orchards

and vineyards that were not harvested. All land in

orchards was reported as cropland harvested.

Crops that were only hogged or grazed, were reported

as ‘‘cropland used only for pasture or grazing.’’ Crop

residue left in fields after harvest and later hogged or

grazed was not reported as cropland used only for

pasture or grazing, but reported as cropland harvested.

Quantity harvested was not obtained in 2002 for crops

such as fruits and nuts, berries, vegetables and melons,

and nursery and greenhouse crops.

Acres of land in bearing and nonbearing fruit orchards,

citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees were

reported as harvested cropland, regardless of whether

the crop was harvested or failed. Abandoned orchards

were reported as cropland idle, not as harvested

cropland, and the individual abandoned orchard crop

acres were not reported.

Age of operator. See Operator characteristics; Farms

by age and primary occupation of operator.

All (multiple) operators. See Operators, all

(multiple).

American Indian and Alaska Native farm

operators, total. This category was previously

labeled American Indian farm operators, however,

Alaska Native operators were counted in this category

as well. Data are reported in Table A of Appendix B.

Unlike the race data reported in Chapter 1, Table 52

and Chapter 2, Table 43, these data include all

operators who selected the American Indian or Alaska

Native race category on the report form, regardless of

whether they also checked another race category. The

data also include the number of operators who did not

report individually, but were counted on a

supplemental report form from American Indian

reservations.

Aquaculture. The number and pounds sold and value

of sales include aquaculture items sold or moved by

commercial farms and by state and Federal hatcheries.

These hatcheries primarily distribute fish for

restoration, conservation, and recreational purposes

and receive no payment. Values based on sales of

farm-raised fish were assigned to distributed fish. The

methodology used to collect and tabulate the

information for the 2002 census was unchanged from

1997. However, the coverage of state and Federal fish

hatcheries improved in 2002, so a direct comparison of

data between 1997 and 2002 may not be possible.

Baitfish. This is a new category for 2002. These are

fish used for bait. Examples include chubs, fathead

minnows and other types of minnows, feeder goldfish,

golden shiners, killifish, and suckers. 

Bees. See Colonies of bees and honey.

Canola. This is the total of canola (edible rapeseed)

and industrial rapeseed. In 1997 this category was
A-8 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

referred to as “Canola and other rapeseed.” This is

only a wording change; all data are comparable.

Cattle on feed (COF) inventory. This is a new item

for the 2002 census. In the 1997 census, cattle on feed

was only reported as a sales item, not an inventory

item. COF is defined as cattle and calves being fed a

grain or concentrate ration (for the slaughter market)

which is expected to produce a carcass that will grade

select or better.

Certified organically produced commodities. See

Value of certified organically produced commodities.

Chemicals. For each type of chemical used, the acres

treated were reported only once even if the acres were

fertilized or treated more than once. If multi-purpose

chemicals were used, the acres treated for each

purpose were reported. See Total farm production

expenses; Chemicals.

Cherries. In the 2002 census, cherries were reported

as either Sweet cherries or Tart cherries. Combined

crops or non-specified cherry acres were not options

for the respondent. Total acres were reported by crop,

and the total acreage classified into bearing acres and

nonbearing acres on the operation. Production, yield,

irrigated acres by crop, and tree numbers were not

collected. In the 1997 census, cherries were reported

as sweet cherries, tart cherries, or nonspecific cherries

depending on the region.

Christmas trees, cut. Data are for acres of Christmas

trees - cut or to be cut - in production and number of

trees cut. They were reported as woodland crops. In

the 1997 census, cut Christmas trees were reported as

a nursery and greenhouse crop. Data are not

comparable. 

Christmas trees, live. Data were reported as nursery

stock and are Christmas trees sold live from the

operation. 

Citrus enumeration. Reports for selected citrus

caretakers in Arizona, Florida, and Texas were

obtained by direct enumeration. A citrus caretaker is

an organization or person caring for or managing citrus

groves for others. This special enumeration has been

conducted since 1969 because of the difficulty

identifying and enumerating absentee grove owners

who often do not know the information that is needed

to adequately complete the report form.

Two significant changes were implemented in the

2002 Citrus Caretakers Survey. First, enumeration

activities were completed after harvest to facilitate the

accuracy of reported data. Second, grove owners were

counted as operators for farm count purposes. Citrus

caretakers were perceived as performing an

agricultural service for grove owners and were not

considered agricultural operators if they provided only

services to grove owners. Caretakers were counted as

agricultural operators if they managed land owned by

the grove care company in addition to providing

services for grove owners. Data provided by

caretakers were prorated to owners based on acreage

and were transcribed onto the respective owner’s

census report form.

In the 2002 census, 12 caretakers in Arizona reported

78 grove owners having 12,500 acres of citrus, 135

caretakers in Florida reported 2,400 grove owners

having 232,000 acres of citrus, and 14 caretakers in

Texas reported 351 grove owners having 14,500 acres

of citrus.

Coffee. Data were collected only in Hawaii. In the

2002 census, data for total acres, bearing acres, and

nonbearing acres were collected. Quantity produced

was not collected. In the 1997 census, data included

total acres, number of bearing trees, number of

nonbearing trees, and pounds harvested.

Colonies of bees and honey. In the 2002 census,

colonies of bees were tabulated in the county where

the owner of the colonies largest value of agricultural

products was raised or produced. In the 1997 census,

colonies were tabulated in the county where the

colonies were located. Colonies are often moved from

farm to farm over a wide geographic area. Package

bees are not included as separate colonies.

Commodities raised and delivered under

production contract. A production contract is an

agreement between a grower and a contractor that

specifies the grower will raise an agricultural

commodity and the contractor (integrator) will provide

certain inputs such as feed, fertilizer, etc. The grower

receives a payment or fee from the contractor,

generally after delivery, which is usually less than the
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-9

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

full market price of the commodity. The contractor

takes possession of the raised commodity at the end of

the growing period. 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 co-op at

a discount price were also excluded. Many operations

produce only under production contracts or only

independently. Some hog operations may produce

hogs under production contract and also produce hogs

that they sell independently. In the hogs tables, these

farms and their inventories are shown under both

categories.

Commodity Credit Corporation loans. This

category includes nonrecourse marketing loans for

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

soybeans, graded wool, non-graded wool, mohair,

honey, dry peas, lentils, small chickpeas, sunflower

seed, flaxseed, canola, rapeseed, safflower seed,

mustard seed, crambe and sesame. These commodities

differ from those included in the 1997 census due to

changes created by the 2002 Farm Bill.

Conservation Reserve Programs or Wetlands

Reserve Programs. See Land enrolled in the

Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP) or Wetlands

Reserve Programs (WRP).

Crop units of measure - field crops. The regional

report forms allowed the operator to report the quantity

of field crops harvested in a unit of measure commonly

used in the region. When the operator reported in units

different than the unit of measure published, the

quantity harvested was converted to the published unit

of measure.

Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity

harvested are for the calendar year 2002 except for

citrus crops and sugarcane for sugar in Florida and

Texas; avocados in Florida and California; olives in

California; and pineapples in Hawaii.

1) Avocados. The data for Florida relate to the

quantity in the April 2002 through March 2003 harvest

season; and for California, the November 2001

through November 2002 harvest season.

2) Citrus crops. The data for Florida and Texas relate

to the quantity harvested in the September 2001

through August 2002 harvest season, except limes in

Florida that were harvested in the April 2002 through

March 2003 harvest season. The data for California

and Arizona relate to the 2001 through 2002 harvest

season.

3) Olives. The data for California relate to the

September 2001 through March 2002 harvest season.

4) Pineapples. The data for Hawaii relate to the

quantity harvested in the year ending May 31, 2002.

5) Sugarcane for sugar. The data for Florida relate to

the cuttings from November 2001 through April 2002;

and for Texas, the cuttings from October 2001 through

April 2002.

Cropland, harvested. See Harvested cropland.

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

or grazed. This is a new category for 2002.

Cropland idle and cropland used for cover crops or soil

improvement but not harvested and not grazed were

two separate categories in the 1997 census.

Cropland, irrigated. See Irrigated land.

Cropland, other. See Other cropland.

Cropland, total. See Total cropland.

Cropland used only for pasture or grazing. This

category includes land used only for pasture or grazing

that could have been used for crops without additional

improvement. Also included were acres of crops

hogged or grazed but not harvested prior to grazing.

However, cropland that was pastured before or after

crops were harvested was included as harvested

cropland rather than cropland for pasture or grazing.

Crustaceans. These are invertebrate animals with

many jointed legs and a hard external shell. Examples

include crawfish, prawns, shrimp, and softshell crabs.

This is a new category for 2002.

Customwork income. See Total income from farmrelated sources, gross before taxes and expenses -

Customwork and other agricultural services.
A-10 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Customwork and custom hauling. See Total farm

production expenses - Customwork and custom

hauling.

Cut Christmas trees. See Christmas trees, cut.

Data are based on sample of farms. For censuses

since 1978, selected data items were collected from

only a sample of farms. These data are subject to

sampling error. For the 2002 census, the sample report

form was distributed to approximately 21-percent of

all farms, including all large and specialized farms

(based on expected sales or acres) and all farms in

Alaska and Rhode Island. Sections 17 through 21 of

the sample report form included questions on

production expenses, fertilizer and chemical

applications, machinery and equipment, market value

of land and buildings, and farm labor.

Depreciation expenses claimed. This is a new item

for 2002. 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 of

the operation and operator.

Expenses. See Total farm production expenses.

Farms by age and primary occupation of operator.

Data on age and primary occupation were obtained

from up to three operators per farm in 2002. The

primary occupation classifications used were:

• Farming. The operator spent 50-percent or more

of his/her worktime during 2002 at farming or

ranching.

• Other. The operator spent more than 50-percent of

his/her worktime during 2002 at occupations other

than farming or ranching. Also, operators who

spent the majority of their worktime working for

another agricultural operation for wages were

included in this classification.

The proportion of principal operators claiming

“Farming or ranching” as their primary occupation in

2002 increased significantly since 1997. While there

were demographic changes that support this increase,

there is a concern that a 2002 report form design

change may have also contributed to it. To reduce

wording, the definition of “primary occupation” was

not printed on the 2002 report form. It was presumed

to be self-explanatory. Some respondents may have

checked the “yes” box by Farm or ranch operator

without understanding that it meant they were

reporting their primary occupation.

Changes in the average age of the farm operator tend

to support the increase in the farming occupation

proportion. When compared with 1997 results, the

average age of farmers increased significantly in 2002.

 Older operators may be “retired” (with little if any

sales) and still report farming as their primary

occupation since they often have limited opportunity

for off-farm jobs.

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 Programs (CRP) and

Wetlands Reserve Programs (WRP) plus government

payments received from federal programs other than

the CRP, WRP, and Commodity Credit Corporation

loans. See Total market value of agricultural products

sold and government payments. 

Farms by economic class of farm. This is a new

term for 2002. It is a combination of the market value

of agricultural products sold and federal farm program

payments. In the 1997 census, comparable data were

published under the heading Combined government

payments and market value of agricultural products

sold. See Total market value of agricultural products

sold and government payments.

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 2002 census, all

agricultural production establishments (farms, ranches,

nurseries, greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of

activity or activities using the NAICS code. The 2002

census is the second census to use NAICS. Censuses
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-11

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

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 that was 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 (ISIC, Revision 3) for some sixty high

level groupings. Following are explanations of the

major classifications used in 2002.

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. In the 2002

census, government-payment only farms were

classified as “All other crop farming” (11199). In the

1997 census, government-payment only farms were

coded as “All other grain farming” (11119).

Vegetable and melon farming (1112). 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 shortrotation woody crops, such as 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 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\or melons, fruits, tree

nuts, greenhouse, nursery and\or floriculture products.

In the 1997 census, government payment only farms

were coded as “Other grain farming” (11119). In the

2002 census, government payments only farms were

classified as “All other crop farming” (11199).

Tobacco farming (11191). Comprises establishments

primarily engaged in growing tobacco.

Cotton farming (11192). Comprises establishments

primarily engaged in growing cotton.

Sugarcane farming (11193). Comprises

establishments primarily engaged in growing

sugarcane.

Hay farming (11194). Comprises establishments

primarily engaged in growing hay such as alfalfa,

clover, and/or mixed hay.

All other crop farming (11199). Compromises

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 production.

Beef cattle ranching and farming (112111).

Comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising

cattle (including cattle for dairy herd replacements).

Farms having 100 acres or more of total pastureland

were coded as “Beef cattle ranching and farming,
A-12 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

including feedlots” (11211) in the 1997 census. In the

2002 census, 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 (11212). Comprises

establishments primarily engaged in milking dairy

cattle.

Hog and pig farming (1122). Comprises

establishments primarily engaged in raising hogs and

pigs. Activities may include breeding, farrowing, and

the raising of weaner pigs, feeder pigs, or market size

hogs.

Poultry and egg production (1123). Comprises

establishments primarily engaged in breeding,

hatching, and raising poultry for meat or egg

production.

Sheep and goat farming (1124). Comprises

establishments primarily engaged in raising sheep,

lambs, and goats, or feeding lambs for fattening.

Animal 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 (i.e., value of

animals for market) are included in this industry group.

In the 1997 census, farms with 100 acres or more of

total pastureland-only were coded as “Beef cattle

farming” (112111) in the 1997 census. In the 2002

census, 100 acres or more of pastureland-only farms

were classified as “Other animal farming” (1129).

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 operator. All farms were

classified by tenure of operators in the 2002 census.

The classifications used were:

• Full owners operated only land they owned.

• Part owners operated land they owned and also

land they rented from others.

• 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 operator, 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 total value of sales. See Market value of

agricultural products sold.

Farms by type of organization. All farms were

classified by type of organization in the 2002 census.

The classifications used were:

• Individual or family (sole proprietorship),

excluding partnership and corporation.

• Partnership, including family partnership - further

subclassified into the following two categories:

1. Registered under state law.

2. Not registered under state law.
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-13

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

• Corporation, including family corporations -

further subclassified into the following two

categories:

1. Family held or other than family held.

2. More than 10 stockholders.

• Other, cooperative, estate or trust, institutional, etc.

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

Farm or ranch operator. See Operator

characteristics, and/or Farms by age and primary

occupation of operator.

Farms with sales and government payments of less

than $1,000. This category includes farms with

combined sales and governments payments of less than

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

more. In this category, government payments were

included in calculating that potential. It provides

information on all items for farms that normally would

be expected to sell agricultural products of $1,000 or

more but had sales and government payments of less

than $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.

Floriculture crops. Data represent total of

bedding/garden plants, cut flowers and cut florist

greens, foliage plants, and potted flowering plants.

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 both dry

hay and haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were cut

from the same acreage or if there were multiple

cuttings of dry hay or haylage, grass silage, or

greenchop. Forage production is the sum of the

quantity harvested of all hay including alfalfa, other

tame, small grain, and wild 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.

The conversion factor of 0.4943 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

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 nuts. In the 2002 census, total acres,

bearing acres, and nonbearing acres were collected. In

the 1997 census, total acres, number of bearing trees

or vines and nonbearing trees or vines, and quantity

harvested were collected.

Government payments. This category consists of

direct cash payments received by the farm operators in

2002. It includes disaster payments, loan deficiency

payments from prior participation, payments from

Conservation Reserve Programs (CRP), the Wetlands

Reserve Programs (WRP), other conservation

programs, and all other federal farm programs under

which payments were made directly to farm operators.

 Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) proceeds and

federal crop insurance payments were not tabulated in

this category.

Grain and bean combines. In the 2002 census, data

were collected for self-propelled combines only. In

the 1997 census, data were collected for all types of

combines. Data are not directly comparable.
A-14 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Grain storage capacity. This is a new item for the

2002 census. Data include the capacity of all storage

structures normally used to store whole grains or

oilseeds. These structures can be silos, bins, buildings,

trailers, etc. The capacity or usage of any off-farm

public or commercial storage facilities was excluded.

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

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

including corn for grain or seed, wheat for grain,

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

grain, and other grains and the value of corn silage and

sorghum silage. Also included is the total market

value of cash oilseeds sold, including sunflower seed

(oil and non-oil), flaxseed, canola, rapeseed, safflower

seed, mustard seed, dry beans, and dry peas. In the

1997 census, the value of corn silage and sorghum

silage were included with hay. Data are not

comparable.

Harvested cropland. This category includes land

from which crops were harvested and hay was cut, and

land used to grow short-rotation woody crops, land in

orchards, citrus groves, Christmas trees, vineyards,

nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from which two or

more crops were harvested was counted only once.

Land in tapped maple trees was included in woodland

not pastured. The 1997 census definition for harvested

cropland was the same as the 2002 definition. Shortrotation woody crops were not explicitly referenced in

the 1997 census definition, but were included as

“Other nursery and greenhouse crops.”

Hay - all hay including alfalfa, other tame, small

grain, and wild. Data shown represent the acreage

and quantity harvested of all types. 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 cuttings was

combined in the corresponding quantity harvested.

Straw acreage and production is 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.

Hay, other tame 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 legume

(excluding alfalfa) and tame grasses (excluding small

grains).

Hay, wild dry. Data shown represent acreage and dry

tons of hay harvested that was predominately wild or

native grasses, even if it had some fill-in seeding of

other grasses.

Haylage, grass silage, and greenchop, all. Data

shown represent the acreage and quantity harvested of

all types (alfalfa and all other). 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.

Herbs, fresh cut. This item does not include herbs

dried or otherwise processed.

Hired farm labor. Data are for total hired farm

workers, including paid family members, by number of

days worked.

Hogs and pigs by type of operation. Hog and pig

farms were classified by type of operation in 2002. 

Operation types were farrow to wean, farrow to feeder,

farrow to finish, nursery, finish only, and other.

Multiple operation type descriptions were applicable

for some respondents. More than one operation type

description was accepted and the reported inventory

and sales data were assigned to each reported type.

The inventory and sales data in Chapter 1, Tables 25

and 26 may not match the inventory and sales data in

other publication tables for this reason. Any operation
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-15

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

type reported other than those specified in Tables 25

and 26 was not published.

Hogs and pigs by type of producer. Hog and pig

farms were classified by type of producer in 2002.

Producer types were independent grower, contractor or

integrator, and contract grower (contractee). Multiple

producer type descriptions were applicable for some

respondents. More than one producer type description

was accepted and the reported inventory and sales data

were assigned to each reported type. The inventory

and sales data in Chapter 1, Tables 23 and 24 may not

match the inventory and sales data in other publication

tables for this reason.

Honey. In the 2002 census, pounds of honey produced

were tabulated. In the 1997 census, pounds of honey

sold were tabulated.

Income. In the 2002 census, total income of the

operation was distributed into three components: the

operators, the landlords, and the contractors. The total

net cash farm income of the operation is similar to the

net cash returns published for the 1997 census. The

difference between net cash income and net cash

returns is that net cash returns did not include

government payments and other farm-related income

as income. Only net cash farm income of the

operation and net cash farm income of the operators

are published in 2002. This income component of the

contractor was parameter generated and therefore is

not published. To effectively suppress it, it is also

necessary to not publish the landlord component. See

Net cash farm income of the operation or Net cash

farm income of the operator.

Income from farm-related sources. See Total

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes

and expenses.

Institutional, Research, Experimental, and

American Indian Reservation Farms. Institutional,

research, and experimental farms were previously

called abnormal farms. In the 2002 census, these

farms were combined with Indian Reservation farms

into one 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.

Irrigated land. This category includes all land

watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as

sprinklers, flooding, furrows or ditches, sub-irrigation,

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. Livestock lagoon waste water

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, 2000. 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. Also see Location of

agricultural activity.

Land enrolled in Federal or other crop insurance

programs. The 2002 census collected information on

the number of acres under Federal or other crop

insurance policies for the first time. Crop insurance

protects farmers from crop losses due to natural

hazards. It is underwritten by the Risk Management

Agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and

sold by private firms and insurance agents. Crop

insurance is also available in selected states for

rangeland/pastureland. In some instances, cropland

insured exceeds available cropland because in some

states pasture land is insured and included.

Land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve

Programs (CRP) or Wetland Reserve Programs

(WRP) program. The 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

conserving uses. In return, farmers receive an annual

rental payment for carrying out approved conservation

practices on the conservation acreage. The WRP is a

voluntary program that offers landowners financial

incentives to enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring

marginal agricultural land. To be eligible, land must

be restorable and provide significant wetland and

wildlife habitat. The program offers landowners three

options: permanent easements, 30-year easements, and

restoration cost-share agreements of a minimum 10-

year duration.
A-16 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

For the 2002 census, operations with land enrolled in

the CRP or WRP were counted as farms, given they

received $1,000 or more in government payments,

even if they had no sales and otherwise lacked the

potential to have $1,000 or more in sales.

Land in berries harvested for sale. Total acres

harvested for berries was collected as a combined

category in all states in the 2002 census. In the 1997

census, it was a summation of the individual types of

berries reported.

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

farms’’ consists primarily of agricultural land used for

crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes woodland

and wasteland not actually under cultivation or used

for pasture or grazing, provided it was part of the farm

operator’s total operation. Large acreages of

woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural

purposes were deleted from individual reports during

the edit process. Land in farms includes acres in the

Conservation Reserve and Wetlands Reserve

Programs.

Land in farms is an operating unit concept and

includes land owned and operated as well as land

rented from others. Land used rent free was 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

or grazing livestock was included as land in farms.

Land in reservations not reported by individual

American Indians or non-Native Americans was

reported in the name of the cooperative group that used

the land. In many instances, an entire American Indian

reservation was reported as one farm.

Land in orchards. This category includes land in

bearing and nonbearing fruit trees, citrus or other

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

land on which all fruit crops failed. Respondents were

instructed not to report abandoned plantings and

plantings of fewer than 20 total fruit, citrus, or nut

trees or grapevines.

Land in two or more counties. With few exceptions,

the land in each farm was tabulated as being in the

operator’s principal county. The principal county was

defined as the one where the largest value of

agricultural products was raised or produced. It was

usually the county containing all or the largest

proportion of the land in the farm or viewed by the

respondent as his/her principal county. Reports

received showing land in more than one county were

separated into two or more reports if the data would

substantially distort county totals.

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.

Land used to raise certified organically produced

crops. This is a new item in the 2002 census.

Certified organic crops are those that are certified by

a Federal, state, or private certification agency. The

count of farms producing certified organic crops may

differ from that found in other sources because this

item is self reported by respondents. No attempt was

made to verify reports with certifying organic

organizations. The acres reported in this item must be

less than or equal to the acres reported as cropland

harvested for each operation.

Landlord’s share of the total sales. This is a new

item for the 2002 census. This is the percentage of the

operation’s sales that goes to the landlords. 

Layers 20 weeks old and older. This category

includes layer hens in molt and other layer hens and

pullets 20 weeks old and older.

Location of agricultural activity. The county in

which the largest value of an operator’s agricultural

products were raised or produced is the county in

which the reported farm or ranch data were tabulated.

Maple syrup. Maple syrup production is a new item

for the 2002 census. In the 1997 census, acres of

tapped maple trees and number of taps were published.

In 2002 number of taps and gallons of syrup produced

are published. Acres of tapped maple trees are

included in woodland not pastured.

Market value of agricultural products sold. This
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-17

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

category represents the gross market value before taxes

and production expenses of all agricultural products

sold or removed from the place in 2002 regardless of

who received the payment. It is equivalent to total

sales. It includes sales by the operators as well as the

value of any shares received by partners, landlords,

contractors, or others associated with the operation.

The value of commodities placed in the Commodity

Credit Corporation (CCC) loan program is included in

this figure. Market value of agricultural products sold

does not include payments received for participation in

other federal farm programs. Also, it does not include

income from farm-related sources such as customwork

and other agricultural services, or income from nonfarm sources.

The value of crops sold in 2002 does not necessarily

represent the sales from crops harvested in 2002. Data

may include sales from crops produced in earlier years

and may exclude some crops produced in 2002 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 2002.

The value of agricultural products sold was requested

of all operators. If the operators 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 2002 census with sales reported in earlier

censuses. Sales figures are expressed in current dollars

and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation.

The value of sales of some crops and of some livestock

and animal specialties were asked separately in the

1997 census and were combined into categories in the

2002 census as follows:

• individual grain crops were combined.

• hay, silage, field seeds, and grass seeds

(excluding grain silage and forage) were

combined with other crops.

• individual nursery and greenhouse items were

combined.

• sales of cut Christmas trees was combined with

value of short-rotation woody crops.

• horses and ponies were combined with horses,

ponies, mules, burros, and donkeys.

• colonies of bees and honey were combined

with other animals and other animal products.

• milk goats and goat milk were combined with

sheep, goats, and their products.

• angora goats and mohair were combined with

sheep, goats, and their products.

• Other goats were combined with sheep, goats,

and their products.

• mink and their pelts were combined with other

animals and other animal products.

• rabbits and their pelts were combined with

other animals and other animal products.

Meat and other goats. This is a name change only.

The 1997 census name was Other goats.

Migrant farm labor on farms. Information on

migrant workers was collected for the first time in the

2002 census. Operators were asked whether any hired

or contract workers were migrant workers, defined as

a farm worker whose employment required travel that

prevented the migrant worker from returning to his/her

permanent place of residence the same day.

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.

Mollusks. This is a new category for 2002. These are

invertebrate animals with a soft body covering and

shells of 1-18 parts or sections. Examples include

abalones, clams, mussels, oysters, snails, and quahogs.

More than one race reported. This category

represents those operators who chose to report more

than one race on the census form. Tabulating more
A-18 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

than one race is new for the 2002 census. In past

censuses, respondents were allowed to mark only one

race. In such instances they may have chosen one

particular race (ie. white) or chosen the Other

category.

Net cash farm income of the operations. This

concept is derived by subtracting total farm and farmrelated expenses from total sales, government

payments, and other farm-related income. Net cash

farm income of the operation includes the value of

commodities produced under 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 the operators. This value

is the operators’ total revenue (fees for producing

under contract, total sales not under contract,

government payments, and farm-related income)

minus total expenses paid by the operators. Net cash

farm income of the operator removes the value of

contract commodities produced and acknowledges the

income the operators received for services performed

for the contractor. Net cash farm income of the

operators is a new concept for the 2002 census.

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.

Number of households sharing in net income of

farm. This is a new item in the 2002 census. Data

were reported by the principal operator only.

Households that received funds because they were

only landlords, custom equipment operators, or

provided other production services were not included.

Published data can exceed the number of operators

listed under Operators, all.

Nursery, floriculture, vegetable and flower seed

crops, sod harvested, etc., grown in the open,

irrigated. Data refer to farms reporting irrigated

nursery, floriculture, vegetable and flower seeds, sod,

bedding/garden plants, etc., grown in the open.

Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, and sod value of

sales. In the 2002 census, data include sales of

bedding plants, bulbs, cut flowers, flower seeds,

foliage plants, mushrooms, nursery potted plants,

shrubbery, nursery stock, live Christmas trees, tobacco

transplants, sod, etc. In the 1997 census, vegetable

seeds were also included. Data are not comparable.

Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, aquatic plants,

mushrooms, flower seeds, vegetable seeds, and sod

harvested, grown for sale. In the 2002 census, data

are summations of individual items reported. In the

1997 census, data were reported under nursery and

greenhouse crops and included cut Christmas trees.

Data are not comparable.

Nursery stock crops. This is a name change only.

The 1997 census name was Nursery Crops.

Occupation. See Operator characteristics and/or

Farms by age and primary occupation of operator.

Operator. The term operator designates a person who

operates a farm, either doing the work or making dayto-day decisions about such things as planting,

harvesting, feeding, and marketing. The operator 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 operator only

of the land which is retained for his/her own operation.

For the first time, the census collected information on

the total number of operators, the total number of

women operators, and demographic information for up

to three operators per farm. Unlike previous censuses,

the number of operators does not equal the number of

farms. To see how operator data were collected in

2002, refer to the census report form, Section 24,

Appendix D. See Operators, all; and Operators, total.

Operator characteristics. In the 2002 census,

operators (up to three operators per farm) were asked

to report age, race, sex, place of residence, number of

days worked off farm, primary occupation, year in
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-19

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

which his/her operation of the farm began, residence

on an American Indian reservation, number of persons

living in the operators’ households, and Spanish,

Hispanic, or Latino origin. Information on the total

number of operators and total number of women

operators was collected from each operation. In

addition, the principal operator was asked to report the

percentage of total household income that came from

the farm operation and if he/she was a hired manager

for the operation.

Unlike the 1997 census, all operator characteristics in

the 2002 census were subject to imputation based on

information reported by farms with similar acreage,

tenure, value of sales, and location. In the 1997

census, no imputation was made for nonresponse to

place of residence; Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin;

off farm work; or year began operation. Also in 1997

data were collected only from the principal operator.

To see how operator data were collected in 2002, refer

to the census report form, Section 24, Appendix D.

Operators, all (multiple). This a new item in the

2002 census. The 2002 census was the first to collect

data for more than one operator per farm.

Demographic and other information were collected for

up to three operators per farm - the principal operator

plus one or two additional operators. This may be

fewer than the number of operators on some farms.

All operators refers to these multiple operators.

Demographic data for up to three operators reported

are presented separately for women, by race

categories, and for Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin.

Operators, total. This is a new item in the 2002

census. It represents the total reported number of

operators on farms and ranches. The 2002 census was

the first to ask for the total number of operators

associated with an operation. It was also the first time

the total number of women operators was determined.

To see how operator data were collected in 2002, refer

to the census report form, Section 24, Appendix D.

Operators of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin.

See Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin.

Oranges, all. All oranges is a summation of Valencia

oranges and Other oranges. Total acres, bearing acres,

and nonbearing acres were collected by category in the

2002 census. In the 1997 census, total acres, bearing

trees, and nonbearing trees were collected as all

oranges.

Oranges, other. This is a new item for the 2002

census and includes all oranges, including Navel, other

than Valencia. See Oranges, all for further

explanation.

Oranges, Valencia. This is a new item for the 2002

census. See Oranges, all for further explanation.

Ornamental fish. This is a new category for 2002. It

includes various fish raised for water gardens,

aquariums, etc. Examples include angel fish, guppies,

koi, ornamental goldfish, and tropical fish.

Other animals. In the 2002 census, each specie is

reported separately. In the 1997 census, deer, elk,

bison, and llamas were included in all other livestock.

Other animals and other animal products sold.

This category includes all animals and animal products

not having specific codes on the 2002 report form.

Data are not comparable with the 1997 census. 

Other aquaculture products. In the 2002 census,

examples include the production of alligators, frogs,

leeches, live rock, salamanders, turtles, fingerlings,

and egg and seed stock. Data are not comparable with

the 1997 census since several items previously

reported here were listed separately in the 2002 census.

Other cattle. In the 2002 census, data include heifers,

steers, bulls 500 pounds and over, and all calves under

500 pounds. In the 1997 census, heifers and heifer

calves were collected separately from steers, steer

calves, bulls, and bull calves. 

Other citrus. In the 2002 census, data relate to any

citrus not having a specific code on the report form. In

the 1997 census, data included K-Early citrus and

Temples.

Other cropland. This includes all cropland other than

cropland harvested or cropland pastured.

Other crops. This category includes production data

for field and forage crops not categorized into one of

the prelisted crop categories on the report form.
A-20 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Other crops and hay sales. For the 2002 census, 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, mint for oil, ginseng

root, peanuts, sugarcane, sugarbeets, etc. The

inclusion of hay into this category is new for the 2002

census. In the 1997 census, hay sales were included

with silage and field seeds. Data are not comparable.

Other crops under production contract. This item

is new for the 2002 census. Data are for the total

number of farms that have production contracts for

other crops. This category includes all crops except

grains, oilseeds, vegetables, melons, potatoes, and

sweet potatoes.

Other fish. This category includes fish that could not

be identified as belonging to one of the other

categories on the 2002 census report form. Data are

not directly comparable to the 1997 census.

Other food fish. This is a new category for 2002.

Data are for fish, other than catfish and trout, raised on

farms for food. Examples include hybrid striped bass,

moi, salmon, sturgeon, and tilapia. 

Other fruits and nuts. Data shown for other fruits

and nuts relate to any fruits and nuts not having a

specific code on the census report form.

Other land. This category includes land in house lots,

barn lots, ponds, roads, ditches, wasteland, etc. It

includes those acres in the farm operation not

classified as cropland, pastureland, or woodland. See

Land in farms.

Other livestock. This category includes all livestock

not having specific codes on the 2002 report form. In

the 1997 census, emus and ostriches were included in

this category but in 2002 they were included as

individual poultry items. Data are not comparable.

See Other animals and Other animal products. 

Other livestock and livestock products. See Other

animals and other animal products sold.

Other livestock products. Production data for this

category include all livestock products not having a

specific code on the 2002 report form. In the 1997

census, production data were collected along with

other livestock; data are not comparable. 

Other noncitrus fruit. Data relate to any noncitrus

fruit not having a specific code on the census report

form.

Other nursery and greenhouse crops. Data relate to

any nursery and greenhouse crop not having a

specified code on the census report form.

Other poultry. Data are for other poultry not having

a specific code on the report form. Data for 1997

included emus and ostriches and are not directly

comparable with 2002.

Other tame hay. See Hay, other tame dry hay.

Pastureland and rangeland, other than cropland

and woodland pastured. This land use category is

very inclusive and encompasses all grazable land that

does not qualify as 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.

Patronage dividends. See Total income from farmrelated sources, gross before taxes and expenses.

Payments received by the contractee for

commodities produced under 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 operators received for commodities delivered. 

The 2002 census was the first time this information

was collected and published.

Peaches, all. In the 2002 census, 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 with

all peaches for publication. Data for clingstone and

freestone are found in the California and Arizona

publications only. In the 1997 census, there was no
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-21

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

special data collection for clingstone or freestone

peaches. 

Peaches, Clingstone. In the 2002 census, data were

collected only in California and Arizona for clingstone

peaches. All other states are included in the Peaches,

all category. In 1997, data were not collected. See

Peaches, all for further explanation.

Peaches, Freestone. In the 2002 census, data were

collected only in California and Arizona for freestone

peaches. All other states are included in the Peaches,

all category. In 1997, data were not collected. 

Pears, all. In the 2002 census, data for all pears were

collected as a category in all states except for

California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.

These states collected data separately for Bartlett pears

and Other pears which were later combined into the

Pear, all category. Data for Bartlett and other pears are

found only in the state publications where collected.

In the 1997 census, there was no special data

collection. 

Pears, Bartlett. In the 2002 census, data were

collected only in California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon,

and Washington for Bartlett pears. All other states are

included in the Pears, all category. In 1997, data were

not collected. See Pears, all for further explanation.

Pears, other. In the 2002 census, data were

collected only in California, Arizona, Idaho, Oregon,

and Washington for other pears. All other states are

included in the Pears, all category. In 1997, data were

not collected. See Pears, all for further explanation.

Peas, green southern (cowpeas) - blackeyed,

crowder, etc. This is a name change only. In the

1997 census, the name was Green cowpeas and green

southern peas.

Peppers, Bell. For the 2002 census, data include only

Bell-type peppers. All other peppers are included in

the Chile pepper category. The 1997 census categories

for peppers were hot peppers and sweet peppers.

Some peppers such as banana peppers were reported as

sweet peppers in 1997 and are reported as Chile

peppers in 2002. Data for peppers for the two

censuses are not comparable.

Peppers, Chile (all peppers - excluding Bell). This

includes all peppers not classified as a Bell pepper.

This includes some sweet peppers such as banana

peppers and pimiento peppers, as well as all hot

peppers. The 1997 census categories for peppers were

hot peppers and sweet peppers. Since some Chile

peppers were reported as sweet peppers in 1997, the

data for peppers for the two censuses are not

comparable.

Plums. This was reported as an individual item only

in California and Arizona. All other states reported

plums in a combined plum and prune category.

Poultry hatched. This category includes all poultry

hatched on the place during the year. The number of

poultry hatched is under the heading Sold for both

years. Incubator egg capacity was not asked in the

2002 census.

Poultry, other. See Other poultry.

Primary occupation. See Operator characteristics

and/or Farms by age and primary occupation of

operator.

Principal operator. The person primarily responsible

for the on-site, day-to-day operation of the farm or

ranch business. This person may be a hired manager

or business manager. See Operators, all for further

explanation.

Production contracts. See Commodities raised and

delivered under production contracts.

Production expenses. See Total farm production

expenses.

Prunes. This was 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. In the 2002

census, pullet inventory for laying flock replacement

was tabulated as a single item. In the 1997 census,

pullets were separated into two categories: less than

13 weeks old and 13 to 19 weeks old. The two

categories in the 1997 census must be added together

to be comparable to the 2002 census. In the 1997

census, pullets and pullet chicks sold were asked. In
A-22 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

the 2002 census, the report form asked for pullets sold

or moved from the operation.

Race of operator. In previous censuses, with the

exception of Hawaii, race data were collected for

White, Black or African American, American Indian

(included Alaska Native), Asian or Pacific Islander, or

Other race. In the 2002 census, operator and farm

characteristics were collected for White, Black or

African American, American Indian or Alaska Native,

Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, Asian, and

those operators reporting more than one race.

Respondents were asked to mark one or more of the

race categories. Operators who marked more than one

race category were tabulated in the More than one

race columns in Chapter 1, Tables 47 and 52, and

Chapter 2, Table 46.

In Hawaii 2002 operator race data were collected for

White, Black or African American, American Indian

or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, Other Pacific

Islander, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Filipino, Other

Asian, and operators reporting more than one race.

Operators who marked more than one race category

were tabulated as More than one race in the

publications. The combination of the Native Hawaiian

and Other Pacific Islander categories is equivalent to

the Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander category

on the other forms. The combination of the Japanese,

Chinese, Korean, Filipino, and Other Asian categories

is equivalent to the Asian category on the other forms.

The Volume 1, Geographic Area Series, U.S.

Summary publication only displays counts for the

categories of Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific

Islander and Asian. Data for the 11 Hawaii race

categories are published in the Hawaii publication of

the Volume 1 series.

Rental of farmland. See Total income from farmrelated sources, gross before taxes and expenses.

Sales, total. See Market value of agricultural products

sold.

Sheep and lamb inventory. In the 2002 census,

respondents were asked to report sheep and lambs of

all ages owned. In the 1997 census, respondents were

asked to report sheep or lambs on their operation

regardless of ownership.

Short-rotation woody crops. This is a new item for

the 2002 census. A short-rotation woody crop is a tree

that grows 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 reported in the

“Land” section of the report form as Harvested

cropland.

Size of farm. See Farms by size.

Sorghum syrup. The question on the report form

asked for pounds of sorghum syrup produced, but

responses indicated that some respondents reported

cane harvested for syrup while others reported the

syrup produced. With such varying amounts of

production reported (tons and pounds of cane as well

as pounds and gallons of syrup), a significant amount

of manual review and correction would have been

needed for this item. Instead the data were

summarized and published as reported.

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. Operators of

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino 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.

Sport or game fish. This is a new category for 2002.

It includes farm-raised fish for sport or game fishing.

Examples include bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass,

muskie, northern pike, smallmouth bass, and sunfish.

Temples. This is a new item for the 2002 census. In

previous censuses, respondents may have reported

temples as either oranges or other citrus fruit.

Tenure. See Farms by tenure of operator.

Total cropland. This category includes cropland

harvested, cropland used only for pasture or grazing,

cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil

improvement but not harvested and not pastured or

grazed, cropland on which all crops failed or were

abandoned, and cropland in cultivated summer fallow.

Total farm production expenses. Includes the

production expenses provided by the operators,

partners, landlords (excluding property taxes) and

production contractors for the farm business in 2002.
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-23

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Tenant farmers reported expenses paid by landlords for

the agricultural production on the operation, as well as

their expenses. Farm or ranch operators who rented

part of their land to others reported only the expenses

for the land they actually used themselves and not

expenses for land rented to others. The 2002 total

farm production expenditure includes all farm-related

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 based on

computer generated estimates for 2002.

This item excludes expenses relating to non-farm

activities such as trading and speculation in the

commodities market or livestock trading activities.

Explanations of selected production expenses are listed

below.

All other livestock and poultry purchased. These

expenses include the total amount spent by the

operators, their landlords, and by others for all nonbreeding livestock and poultry bought during 2002 for

production on the farm or ranch. The total includes

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

hatchery eggs, etc. All other livestock and breeding

livestock were combined in 1997.

All other production expenses. This category includes

all expenses not listed on the report form. Examples

include animal health costs, storage and warehousing,

marketing and ginning expenses, insurance, etc.

Health expenses and payroll taxes were excluded. In

the 1997 census, lime expenses and irrigation water

costs were collected and published in the all other

production expenses category. In the 2002 census, the

cost of lime is included with fertilizer and the cost of

irrigation water is included with utilities.

Breeding livestock purchased. These expenses include

the total amount spent by the operators, his/her

landlord, and others for all breeding livestock and

poultry bought during 2002 for production on the farm

or ranch. The total includes amount spent for cows,

heifers, bulls, sows, gilts, boars, rams, lambs, ewes,

roosters, hens, layers, etc. Estimations of the value of

livestock or poultry fed on a custom basis were to be

made based on their value when they arrived on the

farm or ranch. In the 1997 census, breeding livestock

and all other livestock were combined.

Cash rent paid in 2002. These data include the cost of

renting land and buildings that are part of this

operation. Rent paid for the operator’s dwelling or

other non-farm property and the value of the shares of

crops and livestock paid to landlords were excluded.

Chemicals. These 2002 expenses include the cost of

all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other

pesticides, including costs of custom application. Data

exclude commercial fertilizer purchased.

Fertilizer, lime, and soil conditioners. The expense for

fertilizer is the amount spent on all forms of fertilizer

and lime including rock phosphate and gypsum during

2002. It also includes the cost of custom application.

In the 1997 census, lime expenses were collected and

published in the all other production expenses

category.

Contract labor. These data include 2002 payments

made to 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,

and land leveling.

Customwork and custom hauling. These expenses

include costs incurred for having customwork done on

the place and for renting machines to perform

agricultural operations. The cost of cotton ginning is

excluded. The cost of labor involved in the

customwork service is included in the customwork

expense. Some examples of customwork are plowing,

spraying, harvesting, preparation of products for

marketing, grinding and mixing feed, combining, corn

picking, grain drying, and silo filling. The cost of

custom application of fertilizer and chemicals is

included in expenditures for fertilizer and chemicals in

2002, just as it was in the 1997 census. The cost of

hired labor for operating rented or hired machinery is

included as a hired farm and ranch labor expense. In
A-24 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

1997, the expenses for customwork were combined

with rent and lease expenses for machinery.

Feed for livestock and poultry. These expenses

include the cost of all feed for livestock and poultry

including grain, hay, silage, mixed feeds, concentrates,

etc. during 2002.

Gasolines, fuels, and oils purchased. These expenses

include the cost of all gasoline, diesel, natural gas, LP

gas, motor oil, and grease products for the farm during

2002. It excludes fuel for personal use of automobiles

by the family and others, fuel used for cooking and

heating the farm house, and any other use outside of

farmwork on the operation. In the 1997 census, fuel

costs were divided into four groups.

Hired farm and ranch labor. These 2002 expenses

include the total amount paid for farm or ranch labor

including regular workers, part-time workers, and

members of the operator’s family if they received

payments for labor. It includes social security taxes,

state taxes, unemployment tax, payment for sick leave

or vacation pay, workman’s compensation, insurance

premiums, and pension plans.

Interest paid on debts. Interest and finance charges

paid in 2002 on mortgage loans for land and buildings

on the operation are included in this section. Interest

expenses excluded from this category are non-farm

interest expenses and interest expenses originating

from machinery and equipment used for a separate

customwork business or for other operations. Interest

expense for the operator’s dwelling, where the amount

is separate from interest on farm land and buildings on

the operation, is excluded. Interest paid on debts were

reported in one of two categories:

1) Interest paid on debts secured by real estate.

These data include all interest expenses paid in 2002

on debts secured by real estate for the farm.

2) Interest paid on debts not secured by real estate.

These data include all interest expenses paid in 2002

on debts secured by machinery, tractors, trucks, other

equipment, livestock, poultry, breeding stock, money

borrowed for use as working capital, and interest paid

on CCC loans for the farm.

Property taxes paid in 2002. These data include

property taxes paid by the operators for the farm share

of land, machinery, livestock, buildings and livestock.

Rent and lease expense for machinery. These data

include the farm share cost of renting or leasing

machinery, equipment, and vehicles during 2002.

Rental and lease expenses of items used only for

custom hire are excluded here. In the 1997 census,

rent and lease expenses for machinery were combined

with customwork expenses.

Seed cost. These expenses include the cost of all

seeds, bulbs, plants, propagation materials, trees, etc.

purchased during 2002. Excluded were items

purchased for immediate resale or the value of seed

grown on this place.

Supplies, repairs, and maintenance. These expenses

include all costs for the repair and upkeep of buildings,

motor vehicles, fences, and farm equipment used for

the farm business during 2002. Repairs to equipment

used both for the farm business and for performing

customwork are included.

Utilities. These data show the farm share cost of

electricity, telephone charges, internet fees and water

purchased in 2002. Included in the water cost is water

purchased for irrigation purposes, automatic feeders,

farrowing houses, milking equipment, or any other

machinery and equipment used for the operation.

Household costs were excluded from these items.

Electricity expense was the only cost that was

collected and published in the 1997 census. The

purchase of irrigation water was collected under all

other production expenses in the 1997 census.

Total income from farm-related sources, gross

before taxes and expenses. This includes gross

income from farm-related sources received in 2002

before taxes and expenses from the sales of farm byproducts and other sales and services closely related to

the principal functions of the farm business. The data

exclude income from employment or business

activities which are separate from the farm business.

Categories that make up the farm-related income

calculation changed between the 1997 and 2002

censuses. In the 2002 census, patronage dividends and

refunds from cooperatives and recreational services

were published separately. In the 1997 census, these
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-25

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

categories were combined with other income from

farm-related sources.

Customwork and other agricultural services. This

income includes gross receipts received by the farm

operators for providing services for others such as

planting, plowing, spraying, and harvesting. Income

from customwork and other agricultural services is

generally included in the agriculture census if it is

closely related to the farming operation. However, it

is excluded if it constituted a separate business or was

conducted from another location.

Rental of farmland. This income includes gross cash

or share payments received from renting out farmland,

payments received from the lease or sale of allotments

for crops such as tobacco, and payments received for

livestock pastured on a per-head, per month, or perpound basis. It excludes rental income from nonfarm

property.

Sales of forest products. This income includes gross

receipts from sales of standing timber, pulpwood,

firewood, and other forest products from the farm

business and gum for naval stores. It excludes income

from nonfarm timber tracts, sawmill businesses, cut

Christmas trees, maple products, and short-rotation

woody crops.

Recreational services. For the 2002 census,

recreational services is reported separately. In the

1997 census, it was combined with Other farm-related

income. This includes income from recreational

services such as hunting, fishing, etc.

Patronage dividends and refunds from cooperatives.

For the 2002 census, income from patronage dividends

and refunds from cooperatives is published separately.

These are payments to a farmer or rancher for business

done with a cooperative to which he/she usually

belongs. In the 1997 census, this income was

combined with Other farm-related income. The

payment is usually for goods sold through the co-op.

Other-farm related income sources. This is other

income which is closely related to the agricultural

operation. This income includes animal boarding,

breeding fees, tobacco settlements, state fuel tax

refunds, Federal/state/local tax refunds, state farm

program payments, insurance payments for crop and

livestock payments losses, etc. For the 2002 census,

other farm-related income sources are published

separately. In the 1997 census, it was combined with

recreational services and patronage dividends and

refunds from cooperatives. Data are not comparable.

Total operators. See Operators, total.

Totalsales. See Market value of agricultural products

sold.

Total market value of agricultural products sold

and government payments. This term is the same as

the Farms by economic class of farm frequency

distribution. The combination of sales and

government payments may be a better measure of the

economic size of farm because it represents all income

resources of an operation, other than income from

farm-related sources. All farms were tabulated by

economic size based on the summation of sales and

government payments. This category represents the

gross market value before taxes and production

expenses of all agricultural products sold or removed

from the operation in 2002 and government payments

regardless of who received the payment. It includes

sales by the operators as well as the value of any

shares received by partners, landlords, contractors, or

others associated with the operation. It does not

include government payments received by landlords.

The value of commodities placed in Commodity Credit

Corporation (CCC) loans are included in this figure.

Turkeys. In the 2002 census, total turkey inventory

and sales were tabulated. The number of turkeys sold

include turkeys sold for slaughter and sold or moved to

other farms. This may result in a turkey being sold

more than once. In the 1997 census, turkey data were

separated into two categories - slaughter and breeding.

Type of organization. See Farms by type of

organization.

Valencia oranges. See Oranges, valencia.

Value of agricultural products sold directly to

individuals for human consumption. This item

represents the value of agricultural products produced

and sold directly to individuals for human

consumption from roadside stands, farmers’ markets,

pick-your-own sites, etc. It excludes nonedible
A-26 APPENDIX A 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

products such as nursery crops, cut flowers, and wool

but includes livestock sales. Sales of agricultural

products by vertically integrated operations through

their own processing and marketing operations were

excluded.

Value of landlord’s share of total sales. This is a

new item for 2002. This category includes the value of

agricultural sales received by the landlords.

Value of certified organically produced agricultural

commodities. This is a new item for the 2002 census.

It represents the value of certified organically

produced agricultural commodities sold from

operations during 2002. This is the first time organic

sales data were collected and published. These sales

may come from either crop or livestock production. It

was the intention of the question to collect only those

products that were certified as organic by a

government organization, grower organization, or

similar entity.

Value of commodities under production contract.

This item is new for the 2002 census. Data show the

number of farms and the value of all commodities

under production contract. The 2002 census is the first

time specific contract data were published.

Value of sales. See Market value of agricultural

products sold.

Vegetables harvested for processing. This is a new

item for the 2002 census. Data are available for

selected vegetables that are commonly processed.

Vegetables harvested for sale. The acres of

vegetables harvested is the summation of the acres of

individual vegetables harvested. All of the individual

vegetable items may not be shown. When more than

one vegetable crop was harvested from the same

acreage, acres were counted for each crop.

Wheat for grain. In the 2002 census, data were

collected by type of wheat - Durum, winter, and spring

other than Durum. In the 1997 census, only selected

states reported wheat by type. The non-specific wheat

for grain data collected in the 1997 census is not

included in this publication. Therefore, the 1997

census data by type may not add to All wheat for

grain.

Woodland pastured. This category includes all

woodland used for pasture or grazing during the

census year. Woodland or forest land pastured under

a per-head grazing permit was not counted as land in

farms and, therefore, was not included in woodland

pastured.

Woodland, total. This category includes natural or

planted woodlots or timber tracts, cutover and

deforested land with young growth which has or will

have value for wood products and woodland pastured.

Land covered by sagebrush or mesquite was reported

as other pastureland and rangeland or other land. Land

planted for Christmas tree production and shortrotation woody crops was reported in cropland

harvested, and land in tapped maple trees was reported

as woodland not pastured.

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

form, only the major crops for each region were

prelisted on the report forms. For other crops, the

respondent was asked to look at a list of crops in each

section and write in the crop name and its code. For

crops that had no individual code listed on the report

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

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

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

reviewed and assigned a specific code when possible.

Crops not assigned a specific code were left in the

appropriate ‘‘all other’’ category.
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-1

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix B.

American Indian and Alaska Native Farm Operators

Appendix B provides additional agriculture census

data for farms and ranches operated by American

Indians or Alaska Natives. Census report forms asked

respondents to identify the race of up to three operators

per farm or ranch. The race category of “American

Indian or Alaska Native” could be selected as either a

single race or in combination with other races as part

of a multi-racial identification. Appendix B tables

include data for farms or ranches whose operators selfidentified as American Indian or Alaska Native either

as a single race or in combination with other races.

Appendix B is the only part of the volume 1

publication that includes this breakout of the multiple

race designation. Tables in other parts of the

publication include as American Indian or Alaska

Native only those operators with a single-race

identification. All multiple race identifications are

combined together in the category “more than one race

reported.”

To improve coverage of reservation agriculture,

special procedures were followed in the census. A

reservation-level census report form was obtained

from knowledgeable reservation officials of most large

reservations. These reports covered agricultural

activity on the entire reservation. NASS reviewed

these data and removed duplication with any data

reported by American Indian or Alaska native farm

operators who responded on an individual census

report form. Additionally NASS obtained, from

knowledgeable reservation officials, the count of

American Indian and Alaska Native farm operators (on

reservations) who were not counted through individual

census report forms, but whose agricultural activity

was included in the reservation-level report. Appendix

B is the only part of the volume 1 publication that

provides a total count of American Indian and Alaska

Native farm operators, including those who returned

an individual report and those otherwise included in

the reservation-level report. Tables in other parts of

the publication count the reservation report as a single

farm.

Table A, American Indian and Alaska Native

Operators: 2002, provides the number of farm

operators (for up to three operators per farm) reported

as American Indian or Alaska Native in the race

category on the individual census report forms, plus

the total number of American Indian or Alaska Native

operators farming on reservations as reported by

reservation officials. The count from the individual

report forms is summarized in the “individually

reported” column. It includes operators on or off

reservations. The "other" column provides counts of

operators on reservations as reported by a reservation

or tribal official. 

Table B, Selected Characteristics for Farms

Operated By American Indians or Alaska Natives

and For Total Farms: 2002, provides aggregated

data for operations where at least one operator was

American Indian or Alaska Native. Data include

resource and production inputs and outputs of farms

and ranches operated by American Indians and Alaska

Natives, and compares the data to all farms.

Reservation-level reports are included.

Table C, Selected Operator Characteristics for

American Indians and Alaska Natives and for Total

Reporting: 2002, presents demographic data for up to

three American Indian or Alaska Native operators

reported per farm or ranch on individual and

reservation-level census report forms.

Statistical Methodology

THE CENSUS MAIL LIST AND

SCREENER PHASE

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS)

maintains a list of farmers and ranchers from which the

census mail list (CML) is compiled. The goal is to

build as complete a list as possible of agricultural

places that produce and sell, or would normally sell,

$1,000 or more of agricultural products per year. This

is the same list used to define sampling populations for

NASS surveys conducted for the agricultural estimates

program. Each record on the list includes name,

address, and telephone number plus additional

information used to efficiently sample and administer

the NASS census of agriculture and its 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 agriculture-related lists. NASS

occasionally obtains special commodity lists to address

specific list deficiencies. In 2000, NASS began an

intensive push to increase list coverage in preparation

for the census.

Most names on a newly acquired list are already on the

list sampling frame. Those found on the list are set

aside. Those not found are treated as potential farms

until NASS can confirm their existence as a qualifying

farm. Field offices routinely contact these potential

farms to determine their status, however, the increased

pre-census list building activity generated much more

followup work.

Beginning in April 2002, NASS conducted the 2002

Farm Identification Survey to screen 591,288 potential

farms before placing them on the CML. These records

were mailed a one-page report form and a nonresponse

followup mailing was made in May 2002. A second

mailing to a group of 568,692 additional potential farm

records was conducted in mid-July 2002. There was

no followup mailing. The entire screener phase

confirmed 349,664 qualifying farms that were added

to the CML. A total of 282,901 names were confirmed

as out of scope and were dropped from the list. Names

returned as undeliverable-as-addressed totaled 92,203

and they were excluded from further census mailings.

The remaining 435,212 names did not respond and

were mailed census forms although they were not

added to the CML as active farms.

During the spring and summer of 2002, measures were

taken to improve name and address quality. Checks

were made to detect and remove duplication both

within states and across states. List addresses were

processed through the National Change of Address

registry and the Locatable Address Conversion System

to ensure they were correct and complete. Records on

the mail list with missing or invalid phone numbers

were matched against a nationally available telephone

database to obtain as many phone numbers as possible.

Records requiring special handling for census data

collection or for analysis and summarization were

identified. These were mostly farms considered

unique because of their size or because they produced

specialty commodities.

The official CML was established on September 1,

2002. The list contained 2,841,788 records. There

were 1,839,533 records that were thought to meet the

NASS farm definition and 1,002,255 potential farm

records.

CENSUS SAMPLE DESIGN

All name and address records on the final CML

received a 2002 Census of Agriculture report form.

Two different types of census report forms, sample and
C-2 APPENDIX C 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

nonsample, were used to collect data. Sections 1

through 16 and 22 through 25 of the sample form were

identical to sections on the nonsample census form.

Sections 17 through 21 of the sample form contained

additional questions on usage of fertilizers and

chemicals, farm production expenditures, value of

machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings,

and hired workers. There were 12 regional versions of

the nonsample form and 13 regional versions of the

sample form with listings of crops varying by region.

The sample form was mailed to all mail list records in

Alaska and Rhode Island and to a sample of records in

other states. Mail list records were selected into the

sample with certainty if they (1) were expected to have

large total value of agricultural products sold or large

acreage, (2) were in a county with less than 100 farms

in 1997, or (3) had other special characteristics (e.g.,

abnormal farms such as institutional farms,

experimental and research farms, Indian reservations,

etc.). Mail list records in counties containing 100 to

199 farms in 1997 were systematically sampled at a

rate of 1 in 2; counties containing 200 to 299 farms in

1997 were systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 4;

counties containing 300 to 399 farms in 1997 were

systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 6; and counties

containing 400 or more farms in 1997 were

systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 8. The mail list

records not chosen to receive the sample form received

the nonsample form. This differential sampling

scheme was used to provide reliable data for the

sample sections of the report form for all counties.

The regional report form versions and the sampling

scheme were used to provide reliable data for a large

number of items/commodities at the county level,

while reducing response burden.

EDITING DATA AND IMPUTING FOR

ITEM NONRESPONSE

The mailing label on all forms returned to the National

Processing Center (NPC) were scanned using bar code

readers to capture identifiers and for check-in

purposes. Forms determined to represent qualifying,

in-scope farms were submitted for imaging. A

snapshot was taken of each page of every report form

and optical mark recognition (OMR) and intelligent

character recognition (ICR) techniques were used to

capture reported data from the images. The ICR engine

determined a confidence level for every cell read. Any

cell with a confidence level below a prescribed value

was referred to analysts to review and correct from the

image, when necessary. The images and the captured

data were transferred to NASS on a flow basis. Data

collected by telephone were captured using computerassisted telephone interview software.

Captured data were processed through a format

program. This program verified that record identifiers

were valid and checked the basic integrity of the data

fields. Rejected records were referred to analysts for

correction. Accepted records were posted to the

database.

All 2002 census data were passed through a complex

computer edit. Data were batched by state for

submission to the computer edit. The edit determined

whether a reporting operation met the minimum

criteria to be counted as a farm in the census.

Operations failing to meet the minimum criteria were

referred to analysts for verification. The edit examined

each report for reasonableness and completeness and

determined whether to accept, delete, impute (supply),

or alter the reported value for each data record item.

Whenever possible, imputations, deletions, and

changes made by the editing system were based on

related data on the respondent’s report form. For some

items, such as operator characteristics, available data

for that farm from the previous census were used.

Values reported on previous NASS surveys were used,

where applicable.

When these and similar methods were not available

and values had to be supplied, the imputation process

used information reported for another farm operation

in the same state or in a neighboring state with

characteristics similar to those of the farm operation

with incomplete data. For example, a farm operation

that reported acres of corn harvested, but did not report

bushels of corn harvested, was assigned the same

bushels of corn per acre harvested as that of another

farm from that region having similar characteristics

and reporting an acceptable yield. Assigned values for

one operation could come from more than one

respondent because imputation for missing items in

each section of the report form was conducted

separately.
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX C C-3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Each execution of the computer edit consisted of

records from only one state. Successfully edited

records were made available as potential "donors," to

supply values needed in subsequent imputations.

These records were accumulated into pools of donors

according to geographic location, so that each pool

might be used during the computer edit of any reports

from appropriate states. When imputation was

required, a report's collective imputation needs for a

section were used to identify a group of matching

variables for the report which contained acceptable

data relating to the missing items. For example, acres

of corn harvested would be a matching variable for

bushels of corn harvested, in consideration of the high

correlation between the two items.

Similarity to the report being edited was evaluated for

the matching variables for all farms in the appropriate

donor pool. Values were imputed from the donor

report considered most similar, referred to in this

context as the "nearest neighbor" to the report being

edited. Similarity between the edited record and a

donor was calculated as the Euclidean distance

between their selected matching variables. As part of

the distance computation, the values of the matching

variables were normalized to have the same variance

within each donor pool. Latitude and longitude were

consistently included in all imputation requests as

matching variables, so that geographic proximity

played a role in all donor selections.

Imputation conformed to logic provided by the

complex edit. When appropriate, only donors able to

contribute a nonzero imputed value were considered.

For a farm reporting harvested corn acreage, for

example, imputed bushels of corn harvested would be

taken only from farms with harvested corn. In

addition, imputed values were often adjusted. In some

cases, acceptable data in another field of the edited

report were used to establish a ratio between the edited

report and the donor report. This proportion was

applied to the imputed value as a scale factor. In the

corn example, total bushels of corn from the donor

would be scaled by the ratio of the acres of corn in the

edited report to those in the donor report.

To maintain consistency with the complex edit, the

imputed values in most sections of the report were

tested to ensure they satisfied critical relationships

among items within the section. If any of these

constraints were not met, alternative donors were

considered in order of their similarity to the edited

report, until all the constraints for the module were

satisfied.

In some cases, nearest-neighbor imputation was not

possible. The requirement of a positive imputed value

might rule out all available donors, resulting in an

imputation failure. However, if some members of the

donor pool were found to satisfy this requirement, then

as many as 25 nearest neighbors were given further

consideration. But if none of the candidate donors

could provide qualifying data, the result was also noted

as an imputation failure. Processing of records that

encountered these imputation failures was suspended

at the section where the failure occurred. These

records were made available for analyst review and

later reconsidered by the automated edit as a followup

to corrective actions taken by the analyst.

The donor pool for each region was frequently updated

with records from its area which had completed the

editing process. As records were added to the donor

pool, the records became available to donate values to

incomplete reports subsequently edited for that region.

Prior to editing, all donor pools were empty and no

donors were available. Initial donor pools were

created by giving special treatment to the first batches

of data received from each state. Similar to the way

that imputation failures were resolved through analyst

review of the reports, early reports from initial batches

were reviewed and adjusted manually by teams of

analysts. This process was employed until each donor

pool became self-sufficient in consistently providing

imputed values for its region through the automated

nearest-neighbor selection process.

To streamline editing once they had reached a mature

stage in their growth, donor pools for some regions

were not expanded in size beyond a chosen plateau.

This provided assurance that computer edits would not

exceed a reasonable processing time for nearestneighbor searches. Although their size was limited,

these donor pools did not become static. They were

regularly recreated with representative samples of all

records available from their regions. Within a given

region, all successfully edited sample form records

were included in the appropriate donor pool.

Successfully edited nonsample form records were

ordered by farm size and sales volume for a given
C-4 APPENDIX C 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

region, and then systematically sampled. Every “ith”

record from the nonsample form list was joined to the

complete list of sample forms for its region to form a

refreshed donor pool. The steady renewal of donor

pools for regions with large numbers of records

assured a more diverse selection of donors over time.

All records with data changes were resubmitted to the

edit to verify that acceptable corrections were made.

Records with imputation failures were referred to an

analyst for resolution. Corrected data were posted and

the record was re-edited.

The complex edit ensured the full internal consistency

of the record. Analysts were provided an additional

set of tools to review record-level data across farms.

These examinations detected extreme outliers or

unique data distribution patterns that were possibly a

result of reporting, recording, or handling errors.

Potential problems were researched and, when

necessary, corrections were made and the record reedited.

NONRESPONSE AND SAMPLE

ESTIMATION

Statistical estimation procedures were used to account

for whole farm nonresponse and sample data

collection. The procedures for nonresponse were

necessary because some farm operators did not

respond to the census despite numerous attempts to

contact them. Statistical estimates for sample-formonly data items had to be calculated since, by design,

the data were not collected from every farm.

Nonresponse and sample estimation procedures were

not applied in Alaska and Rhode Island because all

farms received the sample form and data were

collected from all farms.

Treatment of Farms Selected for the

Screener Phase

The screener phase and followup strategies resulted in

several possible outcomes depending on whether the

screener name responded and was in or out of scope.

Each of these outcomes was handled differently to

adjust for nonresponse.

Names responding to the screener as out of scope

(nonfarms) were excluded from the CML. If the

respondent answered the screener as in scope, the

respondent was added to the CML and received a

census form. If this in-scope screener respondent

answered the census form, the operation’s report was

eligible to be used to help account for nonrespondents

to the census. If the in-scope screener respondent

failed to respond to the census form, that operation’s

data were accounted for by census respondents.

Records for operations that did not respond to any of

the three screener mailings were not considered to be

part of the CML, but they were sent a census form.

Screener nonrespondents that responded as in-scope

operations on the census were assigned a fixed

nonresponse weight of 1 for census tabulations.

Screener nonrespondents that failed to respond to the

census form were treated in summarization as if they

never existed on a mail list.

Whole Farm Nonresponse Estimation

Whole farm nonresponse to the census occurred when

no data were received from an operation on the CML.

Records deemed to represent either a large farm, as

defined by the total value of production or acreage, or

a unique farm operation received intensive telephone

or personal followup during census processing to

obtain a response. If these attempts failed, data were

imputed for the record. These large and/or unique

records were designated as “Must” records and were

assigned a fixed nonresponse weight of 1, meaning

their data were not used for nonresponse adjustment.

Screener respondents with reported sales above a

certain level automatically became Must records.

During mail list development, the field offices, in an

effort to reduce respondent burden, identified

operations that participated in multiple NASS surveys,

and those that had special reporting relationships with

an enumerator. The records for these operations were

“Tagged.” The field offices assumed full

responsibility for the data collection for any Tagged

operations, including imputing data for them if a

response was not obtained. Tagged records became

Must records. They had a nonresponse weight of 1

and the reports were not used for nonresponse

adjustments.

Whole farm nonresponse that occurred within the

remaining universe of records, called non-Musts, was
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX C C-5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

accounted for by a statistical weighting procedure. All

responding non-Musts in a state were put into mutually

exclusive weighting groups based on their size and

county as recorded on the CML database. Statistical

models were used to estimate the number of

nonresponse farms that were in scope for each

weighting group. The weights of the responding farms

in each weighting group were increased to account for

nonresponding farms in that group.

Throughout the data collection period, changes and

additions were made to the CML. Records added after

the initial CML was created on September 1, 2002

were designated as new adds, treated like screener

nonrespondents, and given a nonresponse weight of 1.

New adds responding as in-scope records to the census

were subsequently subtracted from the measurement of

undercoverage. New adds linked to operations

originally on the CML were not considered new adds.

New adds occurred any time after the CML creation

and before final weighting in February, 2004.

Some operators were sent more than one census form.

These operators were required to fill out a separate

form for each operation. Also, an operator may have

had an operation for which a census form was not

received, but the existence of which was noted on the

form of the known operation. That operator was sent

a new census form or enumerated by telephone to

obtain data for that previously unknown operation. If

a response was obtained for the previously unknown

operation, the nonresponse weight for the new record

was set equal to the nonresponse weight for the

original operation reporting its existence. If no

response was obtained for the previously unknown

operation, it was treated as out of scope.

Some large farms operating in more than one county

were treated as distinct county-specific operations to

more accurately allocate data to counties. Similarly,

large farms operating in more than one state were

treated as distinct state-specific operations. Split add

records were created for these operations and they

were assigned the same nonresponse weight as the

original CML operation. Controls ensured the

calculated and nonresponse weights never exceeded 2.

The nonresponse weights were systematically rounded

to integers and an integerized weight of either 1 or 2

was assigned to each record. The integerization

process eliminated any impact rounding would have

had on census farm counts and totals in each county

and in cross tabulations.

Tables A and C quantify the effect of the nonresponse

estimation procedures on selected census data items.

These tables contain percentages of the census

aggregates that were contributed by nonresponse

adjustments. As noted earlier, names included in the

screener sample that never responded were treated as

if they never existed on a mail list. Any in-scope farm

in this group was missed and, consequently,

“attributed” to the coverage adjustment. This is shown

in Table C. For selected items, estimates of what was

attributed were reallocated to nonresponse to obtain

“corrected” values, which appear in Table A. This was

possible at the state level only. The differences

between state-level nonresponse adjustment numbers

in the first line of Table C and their counterparts in

Table A represent the amount reallocated.

There was no such reallocation in Hawaii because

records in that state were not adjusted to account for

coverage errors. No tables appear for Alaska because

records were not adjusted for nonresponse or coverage.

The estimates provided in Tables A and C do not

reflect the effect of item nonresponse on individual

census data items. The effect of this item nonresponse

is discussed in the ‘‘Nonmeasurable Census Error’’

section.

Sample Estimation

All Must records were preselected to receive the

census sample form. Non-Must records were sampled

to determine which would receive the sample form and

which the nonsample form. All records in some small

counties automatically received the census sample

form but these records were not necessarily Must

records. Nonresponse adjustment was allowed for the

non-Musts.

Weights applied to the sample items appearing on the

sample form only (Sections 17 through 21) were

calculated by multiplying the farm’s coverage-adjusted

weight, which is described later, by the sample factor

(e.g, 6 for a farm sampled with a 1-in-6 rate, 1 for a

Must). An adjustment was made that ensured the

number of farms operating in a county as estimated

from the sample matched the number estimated from
C-6 APPENDIX C 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

the full census. Before computing published

tabulations based on the sample, each record’s sample

weight was integerized to eliminate the impact

rounding would have had on census farm counts and

totals.

Operators with more than one operation were sampled

as one record and received the same census form for

each operation. Operations added after sampling were

treated differently depending on whether or not the

record was linked to a record on the original CML.

Added operations that linked to a record on the

original CML were mailed the same census form as the

original CML operation. Added operations that were

not linked to a record on the original CML were

mailed the sample form.

MEASURABLE CENSUS ERROR

The root mean squared error of an estimated data item

from the census provides a measure of the error a field

office associated with completing a census. It

measures the variation in the value of that estimated

data item based on all possible outcomes of the census

collection, including variants as to who was on the

census list, who returned a census form and who was

selected to fill out the sample form.

Data items were classified as either complete count

items or sample count items. Sample count items were

collected only on the sample version of the census

report form. Complete count items were collected

from all respondents. Variability in the estimates of

complete count items was due only to the nonresponse

and coverage estimation adjustment procedures.

Variability in the estimates of sample count items was

due to both the adjustment procedures and the census

sample selection and estimation procedure. Therefore,

variability in the sample count item estimates tends to

be larger than the variability in the complete count

item estimates.

Table B presents the fully adjusted total with the root

mean squared error for selected items. The relative

root mean squared error is obtained by dividing the

root mean squared error by the value of the estimate

and then multiplying by 100. The table also includes

the percent contribution to the mean squared error (the

square of the root mean squared error) from

nonresponse adjustment and sampling and from

coverage adjustment. Mean squared errors for Hawaii

are entirely due to nonresponse adjustment.

Nonsampling error due to mail list incompleteness and

duplication as well as misclassification of records on

the mail list is called coverage error. The section titled

“Classification Error Study” addresses attempts to

assess, at least qualitatively, the impact of

classification error on the census results.

NONMEASURABLE CENSUS ERROR

The accuracy of the census counts is affected jointly

by the measurable errors described in the previous

section and by nonmeasurable errors (nonmeasurable

in the sense of not being included in root mean squared

error estimates). Extensive efforts were made to

compile a complete and accurate mail list for the

census, to design an understandable report form with

instructions, and to minimize processing errors through

the use of quality control measures. Despite these

efforts, nonmeasurable errors are inevitable and arise

from many sources, including respondent or

enumerator error, incorrect data capture, editing, and

imputing for missing data. These errors are discussed

in this section.

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. To reduce

reporting error, 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. Computer-assisted

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.

Item Nonresponse

As information flowed from data collection to

tabulation, various types of item nonresponses were

identified on the census report forms. Nonresponse to

particular questions on the form that logically should

have been present created a type of nonsampling error
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX C C-7

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

in both complete count and sample count data. In this

case, information from a similar farm was used to

impute for these missing data items. The resulting

data may have been biased if the characteristics of the

nonreporting farms were different from those of

reporting farms for those items. The section titled

“Editing Data and Imputing for Item Nonresponse”

provides a detailed explanation of item imputation

procedures.

Processing Error

All phases of processing for each census report form

were potential sources of nonsampling error. An

automated check-in procedure recorded that the report

had been returned and excluded it from further

followup mailings. Approximately one-third of the

mail returns were reviewed to resolve questions

dealing with multiple reports, respondent remarks, or

no reported data. The remaining mail returns (about

two-thirds), along with some of the reviewed cases

containing farm data, were batched and sent directly to

imaging and data capture. Data were transmitted,

formatted, and run through the complex edit and

imputation system to ensure within record consistency.

About one-fifth of all forms edited were clerically

reviewed for inconsistencies, omissions, or

questionable values. While reviewing these forms,

staff determined if the action taken by the computer

edit and imputation system was correct. Additional

analysis tools were used to examine data across

records for distributional irregularities and extreme

values. Edited records were tabulated to the county

level. Each county was reviewed and, when necessary,

individual records were corrected prior to publication.

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 operators 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 operator’s absence from the farm

during the data collection period, and the operator’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.

COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT

Although much effort was expended making the CML

as complete as possible, the coverage of farms was not

complete. NASS’s goal was to produce agricultural

census totals for publication that were fully adjusted

for list undercoverage at the county level. Estimates of

the undercoverage for a specified set of farm

characteristics, called calibration variables, were

computed using an area-frame sample. Initial weights

were assigned to census respondents to account for

nonresponse, and these weights were further adjusted

to compensate for estimated state-level undercoverage

for each of the calibration variables based on the area

frame sample. Each farm with census data was

assigned a fully-adjusted weight by this process and

county-level totals were generated for every census

variable, not just the calibration variables. The section

titled “Calibration Algorithm” provides a list of the

area frame based calibration variables.

To further improve coverage adjustment, a second set

of targets and ranges were added to the calibration

effort. These were well established commodity totals

for which excellent check data were available for

validation. The introduction of these commodity

targets strengthened the overall coverage adjustment

process by limiting the possible adjustments produced

by the area frame based targets to ensure major

commodity totals remained within reasonable bounds

of established benchmarks.

Most targets were determined at the state level. The

one exception was the New England states -

Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,

Rhode Island, and Vermont - which were combined

into one “calibration region.” In what follows, “state”

refers to the calibration region for New England.

Coverage adjustments were not made in Alaska and

Hawaii.

Measuring Mail List Undercoverage

Census mail list undercoverage was measured using an

independent survey of land segments selected from the

NASS area frame. The NASS area frame covers all
C-8 APPENDIX C 2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

land in the U.S. and includes all farms. Each June,

NASS conducts a survey that enumerates area frame

segments for agricultural activity. The sampled

segments are allocated to provide accurate measures of

acres planted to widely grown crops and inventories of

hogs and cattle.

The 2002 June Agricultural Survey (JAS) was

supplemented with the 2002 Agricultural Coverage

Evaluation Survey (ACES) to better estimate CML

incompleteness. The ACES used a sample of

segments allocated in a way that, when pooled with the

JAS, ensured accurate measures of number of farms

and land utilization could be obtained. Enumerators

visited all segments, identified all farms operating land

in each segment, and obtained basic data about those

farms.

The names and addresses collected in the 2002 JAS

and 2002 ACES were matched to the census mail list.

Farms that did not match were re-contacted after the

census mailout to confirm that they did not receive a

census form. Farms that had not received a census

form represented the farms not on the mail list (NML).

Those who received a census form had been

erroneously classified as NML and were removed.

The percentage of farms missed in the census varied

considerably by state. In general, farms not on the

mail list tended to be small in acreage, production, and

sales of agricultural products. Farm operations were

missed for various reasons, including the possibility

that the operation started after the mail list was

developed, the operation was so small as not to appear

in any agriculture-related source lists, or the operation

was falsely classified as a nonfarm prior to mailout.

Determining Targets to Correct

for Undercoverage

The 2002 June Agricultural Survey consisted of 11,075

land segments and the 2002 Agricultural Coverage

Evaluation Survey (ACES) added 2,400 segments.

Data values a field office associated with NML tracts

were used to estimate the state-level undercoverage of

the CML for the first set of calibration variables. The

state-level totals for these variables were then summed

to yield national totals.

The national NML estimate for the number of farms

was used directly in determining calibration targets

(CML + NML). State-level farm-count estimates

based on the NML sometimes had unacceptably high

standard errors, as well as apparent systematic biases.

These estimates were smoothed across states based on

separate NASS surveys and previous analysis.

Other calibration targets were derived from the NMLestimated fractions of farms of certain types (i.e. in a

particular sales class or with a principal operator of a

particular race). Most of these had unacceptably high

state-level standard errors. As a result, more reliable

national-level NML estimates were used to smooth

state estimates. The smoothed state NML-estimated

fraction was computed by taking a weighted average

of the actual state estimate and a prediction for the

state based on national- and state-level numbers (i.e.,

the number of NML farms in the state, the fraction of

farms with black owners on the state’s CML, and the

national relative difference between the fraction of

black owners on the NML and CML). The weighting

factor was chosen to approximately minimize mean

squared error under a random effects model. The

smoothed NML-estimated fractions were multiplied by

the corresponding smoothed NML farm-count

estimates described above and added to corresponding

CML estimates to obtain coverage-adjusted state-level

totals, that served as calibration targets.

Tolerance Ranges

Although full calibration would assure that the

weighted total among census respondents equaled its

target for each calibration variable in either set, it was

not always possible to calibrate to such a large number

of target values while keeping all farm weights within

a reasonable range (for example, the weight for any

farm cannot be less than one). Because of this and

because calibration targets are estimates themselves

subject to uncertainty, NASS allowed some tolerance

in the determination of coverage-adjusted weights.

Rather than forcing the total for each calibration

variable computed using the coverage-adjusted

weights to equal a specific amount, NASS allowed the

estimated total to fall within a tolerance range. This

tolerance strategy sometimes made it possible for the

calibration algorithm to produce a set of satisfactory

coverage-adjusted weights that it would not have

otherwise. 
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX C C-9

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Ranges for the first set of calibration variables used to

adjust for undercoverage were determined differently

from the second set used to adjust for measurement

error. The number of farms had no tolerance range.

The tolerance range for every other variable in the first

set was the estimated state total for the variable (CML

+ NML) plus or minus one-half of one estimated

standard error. This choice limited the cumulative

deviation from the estimated total for a variable when

state-level totals were combined to create a U.S.-level

total. These ranges did not have to be symmetric

around the target value.

Calibration Algorithm

Coverage adjusted weights were obtained by an

algorithm based on the restricted regression algorithm

referred to by Singh and Mohl (1996) as the Linear

Truncated Method. Coverage adjustments began with

the nonresponse weights before integerization. The

final coverage-adjusted weights were restricted to the

interval [1,6].

The calibration variables were based on the following

reported items: 

 

1. Total market value of agricultural products sold

and government payments.

$0 $5,000 - $24,999

$1 - $999 $25,000 - $99,999

$1,000 - $2,499 $100,000 - $499,999

$2,500 - $4,999 $500,000 and above

2. Age of principal operator.

Less than 25 years old

25 - 34

35 - 44

45 - 54

55 and older

3. Sex of principal operator.

Female

4. Race of principal operator (selected categories).

Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian,

and Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander

5. Principal operators of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino

origin.

6. Number of farms and land in farms.

7. Number of extreme operations (very large or

unusual farms). 

8. Selected types of farms by commodity produced.

All cattle farms

Dairy farms

Hog/pig farms

Horse/Equine farms

Poultry farms

Sheep/goat farms

Fruit/nut/berry farms

Nursery/horticulture farms

Tobacco farms

Vegetable and melon farms

9. Various commodity acreage and production

statistics (varies by state).

Beef cow inventory

Broiler production

Cattle on feed inventory

Layer inventory

Milk cow inventory

Total cattle and calves inventory

Total hog and pig inventory

Alfalfa acres harvested (South Dakota only)

Integerization and Sample Weights

Coverage-adjusted weights were integerized to

eliminate the need for rounding estimated counts

computed with coverage-adjusted weights. The

integerization process minimized county-level impact

on the nonresponse and coverage adjustment of

number of farms and total land in farms.

Sample weights were computed by multiplying

coverage-adjusted weights before integerization with

the appropriate sampling factors and adjusting the

results to add up to matched census counts as

described previously. Sample weights were then

integerized.

Measuring the Amount of Coverage

Adjustment

Tables A and C display the proportions of selected

census data items that are due to nonresponse and

coverage adjustments. The section of this appendix on

whole farm nonresponse adjustment explained how the

nonresponse adjustment values were determined. The

coverage adjustment values account for the rest of the

differences between the weighted and unweighted

totals for these data items. Some estimated coverage

adjustments are negative. The use of commodity

targets in calibration indirectly exposed some

duplication on the census list resulting in negative

coverage adjustments.

CLASSIFICATION ERROR STUDY

The 2002 Classification Error Study (CES) was

conducted for the conterminous U.S. to study the

potential impact of classification error on the census

results. The study used data from the 2002 June

Agricultural Survey (JAS) and the 2002 Agricultural

Coverage Evaluation Survey to examine farms

incorrectly classified as nonfarms (undercount),

nonfarms incorrectly classified as farms (overcount),

and duplication of farms (overcount) in the 2002

Census of Agriculture. The CES was not intended to

adjust census farm counts, but rather, to evaluate

procedures and to identify potential improvements in

list building, data collection, and other activities in

preparation for future censuses.

For the evaluation, additional name, address, and

telephone information were collected on both the JAS

and ACES by adding the following three questions:

1. During the past two years, has the operator

received mail for this operation at any address

other than the one shown on the face page?

2. Excluding partners and landlords, were any other

names associated with this operation in the past

two years? (For example, other business names,

spouses names, etc).

3. Is any of the land inside the blue tract boundary

rented from others? (Include land for which you

paid cash rent, land used rent free, or land rented

on shares).

The CES consisted of a two phase review process.

The initial phase, Review of Possible Matches, used

Probabilistic Record Linkage (PRL) to match the

additional information collected on the area surveys to

the name and addresses on the 2002 Census Mail List

(CML) including late adds. PRL is a technique used to

identify records that are believed to correspond to a

CML record. Records were brought together into link

groups, with each link group consisting of all records

that possibly represented the same operation. Each

link group was classified into one of three distinct

types: matches, possible matches and nonmatches.

The nonmatches were represented in estimation as part

of the undercoverage measure. The CES was

primarily concerned with the matches and possible

matches. Each field office reviewed the possible

matches and determined match or nonmatch status.

Upon completion of the PRL review, the field offices

conducted a Farm Classification Resolution review of

two additional sets of records. The first of these was

comprised of area records matching two or more

census records. Reviewing these records helped

identify duplication on the CML. The second set

consisted of groups of records (area and census) within

which the reported acreage differed by more than 25

percent. Analysts reviewed the cases in the second

phase. Upon completion of both phases, data were

compiled to estimate undercount, overcount and

duplication.
2002 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX C C-11

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

The analysis of these data will provide insight into

census processes used to accurately determine farm

status and identify duplication. Any weaknesses

identified in the findings will be addressed for future

censuses.
