This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division. Many 

divisions participated in the various activities: Decennial Planning 

coordinated the agriculture census data collection in conjunction 

with the 1990 Census of Population and Housing; Economic 

Programming prepared the computer programs and designed the 

computer system; Geography developed the field maps; Administrative and Publication Services provided the forms design, 

publication planning and design, editorial reviews, composition, 

and printing procurement. The census program was conducted 

under the direction of John Faumuina, Jr., Deputy Director, 

Economic Development and Planning Office of the Government 

of American Samoa, with the assistance of Vaitoelau Filiga, 

Chief Statistician, under a special agreement with the U.S. 

Census Bureau. Technical advice and oversight were provided by 

Thomas L. Ondra, Census Advisor, U.S. Bureau of the Census. 

Representatives of the Government of American Samoa 

made significant recommendations which helped establish data 

content and provided valuable advice during the planning stages 

of the census. 

Special tribute is paid to the many farm operators who 

furnished the information requested. Only through their cooperation was it possible to collect and publish the data in this report.

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE-OLD FARM DEFINITION AMERICAN SAMOA 47 


Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the 1988 Farm and 

Ranch Irrigation Survey, the 1988 Agricultural Economics 

and Land Ownership Survey, and the 1988 Census of 

Horticultural Specialties. 

Additional publications of the 1987 Census of Agriculture data include the Agricultural Atlas of the United States 

(previously called the Graphic Summary), Coverage Evaluation, Ranking of States and Counties, Government Payments and Market Value of Agricultural Products Sold, and 

ZIP Code Tabulations of Selected Items. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

The following definitions and explanations provide a 

more detailed description of terms used in this publication 

than are available in the tables or on the questionnaire. For 

an exact wording of the questions on the 1990 questionnaire, see appendix B. 

In the tables, data for land in farms, land use, fruit and 

nut trees, and livestock and poultry on hand represent the 

situation existing at the time of enumeration of each farm. 

The enumeration for the 1990 Census of Agriculture began 

in April 1990 and the 1980 census in April 1980. All other 

data, such as that relating to acres and production, are for 

the calendar years 1989 and 1979. Sales are for 1989 only. 

Farm operator-The term "operator" designates a 

person who operates a farm, either by doing the work 

himself/herself or directly supervising the work. The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner's household, a tenant or renter, the manager, or the person in 

charge of an institutional farm. For communal lands, the 

person in charge is considered as the operator of land 

used for the benefit of the extended family group. An 

individual member of the family group who raised crops or 

kept livestock or poultry for his/her own account on 

communal land was considered to be the operator of the 

land so assigned. By definition, the number of farm operators is the same as the number of farms. 

Farms or farms reporting-The term "farms" or "farms 

reporting" in the presentation of data denotes the number 

of farms reporting the item. 

Land in farms-The land in farms was determined from 

the answers to questions 1 through 4 in section 1 of the 

questionnaire (see app. B). The amounts of land reported 

as owned and rented from others were added together, 

and the amount of land reported as rented to others was 

subtracted from that sum. The result represents "land in 

farms." Although the area designated land in farms consists primarily of agricultural land, Le.-Iand used for crops, 

pasture, or grazing-it also included areas of land not 

actually under cultivation nor used for pasture or grazing. 

For example, woodland and wasteland owned or rented 

from others were included as land in farms unless the 

report indicated it was being held for nonagricultural purposes, such as recreational or for timber. 

A-2 APPENDIX A 

Land owned-This includes all land held by the operator or his/her spouse under title, purchase contract, or as 

heir or trustee of an undivided estate at the time of 

enumeration. Land managed by a hired manager also was 

considered owned. Communal land is the land which is 

owned by the extended family. 

Land rented from others-This includes not only land 

that the operator rented or leased from others, but also 

land worked on shares for others and land used rent free. 

Land rented to others-This includes all land the 

operator rented or leased to others and all land assigned 

to others on shares or rent free during the past year. For 

the most part, the land rented to others represents agricultural land, but it also may include land rented for 

residential or other purposes. The tenant is considered to 

be the operator of land leased, rented, or worked on 

shares, even though the landlord may supervise the operations. The landlord is considered to be the operator of 

only that portion of the land not assigned to tenants. 

Land use-Land in farms is categorized according to 

the way it was being used on enumeration day. The land 

uses described in the following paragraphs are mutually 

exclusive in that each acre of land is counted only once, 

even though it may have had more than one use during the 

year. 

• Cropland used for crops-This includes all land 

planted in crops at the time of enumeration. Land was 

to be reported only once, even if two or more crops 

were planted on the same land. It includes field crops 

that were grazed when mature or almost mature; land 

in bearing and non bearing fruit and nut trees or 

plants, or any other tree crops; land that had partial 

but not total crop failure; and land in home gardens. 

• Cropland not used for crops-This includes all land 

that the operator considered as cropland but on 

which no crops were planted. It includes land used for 

pasture and grazing that the operator feels could 

have been used for crops; land with total crop failure 

as a result of drought, flood, insect, fire, or other 

causes; idle and fallow cropland; and cropland with 

soil improvement grass, cover crops, etc., for the 

purpose of improvement. 

• Pasture or grazing land-This includes all land 

suitable for pasture or grazing, except land used for 

crops and cropland pasture whether or not used for 

grazing livestock. It also includes woodland being 

used for pasture. 

• Other land-This includes all land that did not qualify 

either as cropland or pastureland. It includes land in 

house and building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, ponds, 

swamps, steep slopes, wasteland, brushland, and 

nonpastured woodland. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
Type of holding-Agricultural operations were classified according to the response the enumerator obtained 

from the farm operator as to whether the farm was 

producing mainly for home consumption or mainly for sale. 

• Holdings producing mainly for home consumption-This applies to holdings from which more than 

50 percent of the agricultural output was consumed 

by the holder's household. 

• Holdings producing mainly for sale-This applies 

to holdings from which 50 percent or more of the 

agricultural output was for sale. These holdings were 

further classified by the farm operator according to 

their most important activity. If 50 percent or more of 

the value was from one of the following, the holding 

was named accordingly. 

- Crop holding is one which the value of sales 

from crops was more than 50 percent. 

- Livestock and/or poultry holding is one which 

the value of sales from livestock and livestock 

products and/or poultry and poultry products 

was more than 50 percent. 

- Mixed holding is one which the value of sales 

was mainly a combination of sales of crops, 

livestock and livestock products, and/or poultry and poultry products. 

- Other holding is one which the value of sales 

was mainly from the sale of agricultural products not listed in the previous groups. 

Crops harvested-The questionnaire contained individual inquiries for crops commonly grown and space to 

write in crops less frequently produced for the year 1990. 

• Field crops, melons, and vegetables-The number 

of acres harvested, the total quantity of each crop 

harvested, the quantity sold, and value of sales during 

1989 were to have been reported. 

When two or more crops or two or more plantings 

of the same crop were harvested from the same land 

during the year, the acres were to be reported 

separately for each' crop or planting. 

• Fruits and nuts-For fruits grown on farms, information was obtained on the total trees both bearing and 

non bearing, that were on the place on enumeration 

day. The total quantity harvested, the quantity sold, 

and value of sales were for 1989. 

• Nursery and ornamental plants-Data reflect the 

number of square feet, acres, and value of sales for 

1989. 

Livestock and poultry-Data show the number on 

hand at the time of enumeration. All livestock and poultry 

on the place were counted at the time of the enumeration 

regardless of ownership. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

Sales data were collected for all livestock and poultry 

sold from the place during 1989, as well as the dozens of 

eggs sold. 

"Milk cows" were defined as cows that had been on the 

place on the day of enumeration and were milked at any 

time during 1989. All other cows were to be included in the 

data for "Other cattle and calves." 

Equipment-The following types of equipment on the 

place at the time of enumeration, regardless of ownerShip, 

were reported as long as they were in operating condition 

and used in the farm business. 

• Tractors-This includes all wheel and tracklaying 

(crawler) tractors, garden tractors, and homemade 

tractors, other than motor tillers. 

• Motortrucks-This includes pickup trucks, truck-trailer 

combinations, jeeps, and station wagons, if used 

primarily as trucks. 

• Automobiles-This includes jeeps and station wagons used primarily as passenger cars. 

Facilities-The presence or absence of electricity and/or 

piped running water on the place was reported. 

• Electricity-This includes electrical power anywhere 

on the place including the dwelling of the operator. 

• Piped running water-This includes water in pipelines by a pressure system or by gravity flow from 

natural or artificial sources. Water from a hand pump 

was not considered to be piped running water. 

Operator characteristics-Data were obtained to classify the operators according to five characteristics. 

1. Residence of operator-Farm operators were classified by residence according to whether or not they 

lived on the farms they were operating. Some of 

those who did not live on the farms they operated 

lived on farms operated by others. If all the land was 

rented from others or worked on shares for others, 

the operator was considered to live on the farm 

operated if the dwelling was included in the rental 

agreement. In such cases, the dwelling was not 

necessarily on the farm operated. Similarly, an 

operator who did not live on the land being cultivated, but who had some agricultural operations 

(other than a home garden) at his/her dwelling, was 

considered to be living on the farm operated. 

2. Year began operating present farm-Enumerators were instructed to obtain the year an operator 

began to operate the farm, i.e., the first year the 

operator took continuous charge of the present 

farm or any part of it. 

3. Age of operator-Operators were classified by 

age into six groups. The average age was obtained 

by dividing the sum of the ages of all operators 

reported by the number reported. 

APPENDIX A A-3 
4. Main occupation-If the operator devoted 50 percent or more of his/her work time to agricultural 

activities, his/her main occupation was considered 

to be agriculture, otherwise his/her occupation was 

considered nonagricultural. 

5. Work off farm-Only work by the operator for pay 

was to be reported. Days worked off the place were 

to include work at another farm or a nonfarm 

business, such as a store or repair shop; or at a 

profession such as doctor, lawyer, or teacher. Exchange 

work or work done by the operator in exchange for 

comparable work done by someone else was not to 

be reported. 

FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED 

CHARACTERISTICS 

Tables 22 through 25 present detailed data for farms 

classified by specified characteristics-tenure of operator, 

size of farm, age of operator, and value of agricultural 

products sold. 

Farms by tenure of operator-Farms were classified 

by tenure of operator on the basis of information reported 

for land owned, rented from others, or worked on shares 

for others. During the processing operations, each questionnaire was coded to indicate whether the farm operator 

was a full owner, a part owner, or a tenant. The various 

classifications of tenure are: 

• Full owners operate only land they own. 

• Part owners operate land they own plus land they 

rent from others. 

• Tenants only operate the land they rent from others 

or work on shares for others. 

Farms by size-Farms were classified by size on the 

basis of the total land area determined for each farm. 

According to the census definition, a farm is essentially an 

operating unit, not an ownership tract. All land operated or 

managed by one person or partnership represents one 

farm. In the case of tenants, the land assigned to each 

A-4 APPENDIX A 

tenant is considered a separate farm even though the 

landlord may consider his/her entire land holding to be 

one unit rather than several separate units. 

Farms by age of operator-Farms were classified by 

age of operator on the basis of information reported to the 

enumerator that was entered on the report form. The 

operator's age was classified into one of the age groups 

found in table 24. 

Farms by value of agricultural products soldFarms were classified on the basis of the total value of 

agricultural products sold. The total was obtained by 

adding the reported values of all products sold from the 

farm. The value of vegetables, field crops, fruits and nuts, 

nursery and ornamental plants, livestock, poultry, and eggs 

was obtained from the operator at the time of enumeration. 

These values were classified into one of the groups found 

in table 25. 

CENSUS NONSAMPLING ERROR 

All data originated from a complete enumeration and, 

therefore, are not subject to sampling variability. However, 

the data are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling 

errors can be attributed to many sources: 

• Inability to identify all cases in the actual universe. 

• Inability or unwillingness on the part of respondents to 

provide correct information. 

• Definition and classification difficulties. 

• Differences in the interpretation of questions. 

• Errors in recording or coding the data obtained. 

• Other errors of collection, response, coverage, and 

estimation for missing or misreported data. 

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by 

the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. No 

direct measures of these effects have been obtained; 

however, precautionary steps were taken in all phases of 

data collection, processing, and tabulation of the data in an 

effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.
