This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division. Many 

other divisions contributed to this preparation: Data Preparation 

performed the clerical processing; Administrative Services provided the forms design and other administrative services; Publications Services contributed in publication planning and design, 

editorial review, composition, and printing procurement; Computer Services provided the computer processing facilities; Field 

provided selected data collection activities; Economic Programming prepared the computer programs; and Economic Surveys 

assisted in preparation of data collection and processing procedures and computer programs. 

Members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture 

Statistics and representatives of both public and private 

organizations made significant recommendations which helped 

establish data content. 

Members of various agencies of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture provided valuable advice in the planning, publicizing, 

and processing phases of the census, and in helping farmers and 

ranchers complete the report forms. 

The press, farm magazines, radio and television stations, and 

farm organizations were most helpful in publicizing the census 

and encouraging cooperation of farm and ranch operators. 

Special tribute is paid to the millions of farm and ranch 

operators who furnished the information requested. Only through 

their cooperation was it possible to collect and publish the data in 

this report.

HISTORY 

The 1987 Census of Agriculture is the 23d taken by the 

U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The 

first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the 

sixth decennial census of population. From 1840 to 1950, 

an agriculture census was taken as part of the decennial 

census. A separate mid·decade census of agriculture was 

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

census of agriculture was taken for the years ending in 4 

and 9. In 1976, Congress authorized the census of agri· 

culture to be taken for 1978 and 1982 to adjust the data 

reference year so that it coincided with the economic 

censuses covering manufacturing, mining, construction, 

retail trade, wholesale trade, service industries, and selected 

transportation activities. This adjustment in timing estab· 

lished the agriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting 

data for years ending in 2 and 7. 

USES OF THE CENSUS 

The census of agriculture is the leading source of 

statistics about the Nation's agricultural production and the 

only source of consistent, comparable data at the county, 

State, and national levels. Census statistics are used by 

Congress in developing and changing farm programs and 

for determining the effects of these programs. Many 

national and State programs are designed or allocated on 

the basis of census data, such as funds for extension 

services, research, and soil conservation projects. Private 

industry uses census statistics to provide a more effective 

production and distribution system for the agricultural 

community. 

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED 

The census of agriculture is required by law under Title 

13, United States Code, sections 142(a) and 191, which 

directs that a census be taken in 1979, 1983, and in every 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

fifth year after 1983 covering the prior year. The 1987 

census includes each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the 

Virgin Island of the United States. A census of agriculture 

will be conducted in American Samoa and the Common· 

wealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in conjunction with 

the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. 

FARM DEFINITION 

Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for 

census purposes first were established, the farm definition 

has been changed nine times. The current definition, first 

used for the 1974 census, is any place from which $1,000 

or more of agricultural products were produced and sold or 

normally would have been sold during the census year. 

The farm definition used for the outlying areas varies 

according to area. The report for each area includes a 

discussion of the farm definition. 

COMPARABILITY OF DATA 

Data on acreages and inventories for 1987 and 1982 

are generally comparable. Dollar figures shown for expenses 

and agricultural product sales are expressed in current 

dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or defla· 

tion. In general, data for censuses since 1974 are not fully 

comparable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses due to 

changes in the farm definition. 

The 1978 U.S., region, and State data shown in the 

1978 Census of Agriculture publications included data for 

farms on the mail list plus estimates from an area sample 

for farms not on the mail list. For comparability, the 1978 

data in the 1987 publications include only farms on the 

mail list. 

TABULAR PRESENTATION 

State data-Tables 1 through 47 in chapter 1 show 

detailed State·level data usually accompanied by historical 

data for one or more past censuses. Tables 48 through 53 

provide 1987 State data cross·tabulated by various farm 

classifications. 

county data-Chapter 2 presents selected data items 

by county. Tables 1 through 16 include general data for all 

counties. The counties are listed in alphabetical order in 

the column headings. Tables 17 through 36 include only 

INTRODUCTION VII 
counties reporting the data item. Counties not having the 

item, or with a limited number of farms reporting the item, 

have data combined and presented as "all other counties." 

ADVANCE REPORTS 

Advance reports of 1987 census data have been published separately for each county with 10 farms or more, 

each State, and the United States. This series provided, at 

the earliest possible date, final data on major data items 

together with comparable final data from the 1982 census. 

Data items are standard across States except information 

on selected crops harvested, which vary by State according to their relative importance in the State. 

ELECTRONIC DATA DISSEMINATION 

The volume 1 data are available on computer tapes and 

compact disc. The advance report data are available on 

computer tapes, computer diskettes, and through electronic data services such as the AGRIDATA network, the 

CENDAT A package on Dialog, CompuServe on-line services, and the Census Bureau's State Data Center Bulletin 

Board. Computer tapes, diskettes, and compact discs are 

sold by the Customer Services Branch, Data User Services 

Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233 

(telephone (301) 763-4100). 

SPECIAL TABULATIONS 

Custom designed tabulations can be developed to 

individual user specifications on a programming cost reimbursable basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should 

be directed to the Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of the 

Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. 

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES 

In keeping with the provisions of Title 13, United States 

Code, no data are published that would disclose the 

operations of an individual farm. However, the number of 

VIII INTRODUCTION 

farms in a given size category or other classification, such 

as size of farm, is not considered a release of confidential 

information and is provided even though other information 

is withheld. 

INVENTORIES, PRODUCTION, AND SALES 

DATA 

Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and 

equipment are measured as of December 31 of the census 

year. Crop and livestock production, sales, and expense 

data are for the calendar year, except for a few crops (such 

as citrus) for which the production year overlaps the 

calendar year. 

ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS

DATA COLLECTION 

Method of Enumeration 

All agriculture censuses beginning with the 1969 census 

primarily have used mailout/mailback data collection. Direct 

enumeration methods, however, continue to be used for 

the agriculture census in Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. 

Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth 

of the Northern Mariana Islands. 

Mail List 

The mail list for the 1987 census was comprised of 

individuals, businesses, and organizations that could be 

readily identified as being associated with agriculture. The 

list was assembled from the records of the 1982 census, 

administrative records of the Internal Revenue Service 

(IRS), and the statistical records of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture (USDA). In addition, lists of large or specialized 

operations, such as nurseries and greenhouses, specialty 

crop farms, poultry farms, fish farms, livestock farms, and 

cattle feedlot operations, were obtained from State and 

Federal agencies, trade associations, and similar organizations. Lists of companies having one or more establishments (or locations) producing agricultural products were 

obtained from the 1982 census and updated using the 

information from the Standard Statistical Establishment 

List maintained by the Census Bureau. Exhaustive record 

linkage, unduplication, and mathematical modeling yielded 

a final mail list of 4.1 million names and addresses that had 

a substantial probability of being a farm operation. 

Report Forms 

In 1987, three different report forms were used-a 

two-page, a four-page, and a six-page form to minimize the 

reporting burden, particularly for small farms and places 

less likely to be farms. The six-page sample form and the 

four-page nonsample form are the same, except sections 

23 through 28 have been added to the sample form to 

obtain supplemental information from a sample of farms. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

The information collected in these sections will give the 

Bureau of the Census a good basis for making estimates of 

these data for other farms included in the census. The 

two-page form does not have as many questions or as 

much detail as the four-page and six-page forms. The 

four-page form has 11 regional versions and the six-page 

form has 13 regional versions. Both forms have different 

crops pre listed. Appendix D contains copies of both the 

two-page and six-page forms. 

The six-page form was mailed to 1,104,000 addressees 

on the mail list, including all those expected to be large 

(based on expected sales or acreage) or unique (farms 

operated by multiestablishment companies or nonprofit 

organizations), all those in Alaska and Hawaii, and a 

sample of other addressees. The two-page form was 

mailed to 906,000 addressees. These were expected to be 

small farms or less likely to be farms. The four-page form 

was mailed to the remaining 2,079,000 addressees. Further discussion of the criteria used to determine which 

form was mailed to an addressee is provided in the Census 

Sample Design section of appendix C. 

Initial Mailing 

The report forms were mailed in mid-December 1987 to 

the approximately 4,089,000 individuals, businesses, and 

organizations on the mail list. The mail packages included 

a report form, a cover letter with a description of the 

purposes and uses of the census on the reverse side, an 

information sheet containing instructions for completing 

the form, and a postage-paid return envelope. Additional 

special instructions were included with report forms sent to 

grazing associations; feedlot operations; institutional organizations; Indian reservations; firms with multiple farm or 

ranch operations; and producers of poultry under contract, 

bees and honey, fish, laboratory animals, and nursery and 

greenhouse crops. 

To provide additional help to farmers in completing their 

reports, copies of an Agriculture Census Guide booklet 

were sent to vocational agriculture instructors, USDA 

county offices of the Agriculture Stabilization and Conservation Service, and the Cooperative Extension Service. 

The Guide contained descriptions and definitions of vari~ 

ous items in more detail than the instructions included with 

each report form. Representatives of the above agencies 

graciously consented to assist farmers in completing their 

report forms. 

APPENDIX A A-1 
Followup Procedures 

A thank you/reminder card was mailed to those on the 

mail list in mid-January 1988. Five followup letters, three of 

which were accompanied by a report form, were sent to 

nonrespondents at 4-week intervals starting in mid-February 

and continuing until early June 1988. 

Telephone calls were made to all large farms who had 

not responded. In addition, telephone calls were made to a 

sample of other nonrespondents in counties that had a 

response rate of less than 75 percent. A nonresponse 

adjustment procedure was used to represent the final 

nonrespondent farms in the census results. A description 

of this procedure is included in the Census Estimation 

section of appendix C. 

DATA PROCESSING 

Selected report forms were reviewed prior to keying the 

data. These included reports with attached correspondence and reports with remarks or no positive data on the 

front page. 

The data from each report form were subjected to a 

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

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

missing data based on similar farms within the same 

county, and assigned farm classification codes necessary 

for tabulating the data. Substantial computer-generated 

changes to the data were clerically reviewed and verified. 

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

commodities exceeding specified levels were tested for 

historical comparability. Key items, such as acreage and 

sales, were compared for substantial changes between 

1982 and 1987. Sizeable historical differences were resolved 

or verified by telephone, if necessary. Respondents who 

reported sales or acreage above specified levels on nonsample forms were sent correspondence requesting the 

additional sample data. Prior to publication, tabulated 

totals were reviewed by statisticians to identify inconsistencies and potential coverage problems. Comparisons 

were made with previous census data, estimates published 

by the USDA, and other available data. 

MAJOR DATA CHANGES 

Prior to each agriculture census, the Census Bureau 

reviews the content of the census forms to eliminate 

questions no longer needed and to identify new items 

necessary to meet user needs and to better describe the 

agricultural situation in our Nation. Data requests are 

solicited from farmers, farm organizations, land grant colleges and universities, State and federal agencies, and 

members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agricultural Statistics. Each agency and organization is asked to 

identify and justify its specific data needs. The following 

data inquiries were added to the 1987 report form: 

A-2 APPENDIX A 

Income from farm-related sources 

Acres under the Conservation Reserve Program 

Payments received for participation in federal farm 

programs 

Grazing permits by source 

Additional data on production expenses were added in 

1987: 

Repair and maintenance expenses 

Cash rent 

Property taxes paid 

All other production expenses 

The following separate data inquiries were eliminated 

from the 1987 form: 

Storage capacity for petroleum products 

Number of hired farm and ranch workers 

Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals 

for human consumption 

Source of irrigation water 

Tons of commercially mixed feed 

Expenditures for coal, wood, and coke 

Selected machinery items: automobiles, corn heads for 

combines, and field forage harvesters 

Chinchillas 

Worms 

Tropical and baitfish 

FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS, SPECIAL CENSUSES, 

AND RELATED PUBLICATIONS 

In addition to the 1987 Census of Agriculture for the 50 

States, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern 

Mariana Islands, the census of agriculture program includes 

the 1988 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey, the 1988 

Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership Survey, and 

the 1988 Census of Horticultural Specialties. 

The 1988 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey provides 

data on water use by irrigated farms and ranches. Data 

include: the amount of water applied by crop, method of 

water distribution, source of water, and energy costs for 

pumping water. Data from this survey will be published as 

volume 3, part 1. 

The 1988 Agricultural Economics and Land Ownership 

Survey provides detailed data on debts, expenses, taxes, 

credits, assets, land ownership, and farm and off-farm 

income for farm operators. Many of these items, as well as 

detailed data on landlord characteristics, are being collected from the landlords of the farms involved in the 

survey. Data from this survey will be published as volume 

3, part 2. 

The 1988 Census of Horticultural Specialties covers 

operations growing and selling $2,000 or more of horticultural products such as greenhouse products, outdoorgrown floricultural products, nursery products, mushrooms, 

and sod. These data will be published as volume 4. 

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, and Government 

Payments and Market Value of Agricultural Products Sold. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
The Agricultural Atlas of the United States presents the 

Nation's agriculture graphically illustrated by dot and multicolor pattern maps. The maps provide displays on size 

and type of farm, land use, farm tenure, market value of 

products sold, crops harvested, livestock inventories, and 

other characteristics of farms. This report will be published 

as volume 2, part 1. 

The Coverage Evaluation report provides estimates of 

the completeness of the 1987 Census of Agriculture for 

the United States, geographic regions, and selected States 

and groups of States. Estimates with their associated 

sample reliability are provided for farms not on the mail list, 

farms classified as nonfarms, duplicate farms, and nonfarms classified as farms. This report will be published as 

volume 2, part 2. 

The Ranking of States and Counties report ranks the 

leading States and counties for selected items in the 1987 

census and provides comparative data from the 1982 

census. This report will be published as volume 2, part 3. 

A new publication on Government Payments and Market Value of Agricultural Products Sold presents 1987 data 

for the United States and each State. The U.S. table has a 

format similar to volume 1, U.S. table 52 and presents 

summary data by size of farm. This report will be published 

as volume 2, part 5. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

The following definitions and explanations provide a 

more detailed description of the terms used in this publication than are available in the tables or on the report form. 

For an exact wording of the questions on the 1987 census 

report forms and the information sheet which accompanied these forms, see appendix D. Most definitions of 

terms are the same as those used in earlier censuses. The 

more important exceptions are also noted here. 

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

reporting" in the presentation of data denotes 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 

Land in farms-The acreage designated in the tables 

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 operations. Large acreages of woodland or 

wasteland held for nonagricultural purposes were deleted 

from individual reports during the processing operations. 

Land in farms includes acres set aside under annual 

commodity acreage programs as well as acres in the 

Conservation Reserve Program for places meeting the 

farm definition. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

Land in farms is an operating unit concept and includes 

land owned and operated as well as land rented from 

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

rented from others. All grazing land, except land used 

under government permits on a per-head basis, was 

included as "land in farms" provided it was part of a farm 

or ranch. Land under the exclusive use of a grazing 

association was to be reported by the grazing association 

and included as land in farms. All land in Indian reservations used for growing crops or grazing livestock was to be 

included as land in farms. Land in reservations not reported 

by individual Indians or non-Indians was to be reported in 

the name of the cooperative group that used the land. In 

some instances, an entire Indian reservation was reported 

as one farm. 

Land area-The approximate land area of counties and 

States represents the total land area as determined by 

records and calculations as of January 1, 1988. These 

data are updated periodically; however, the acreages 

shown for 1987 are essentially the same as for 1982. Any 

differences between the land area for 1987 and 1982 are 

due to annexations and other changes affecting county 

boundaries. 

Land in two or more counties-With few exceptions, 

the land in each farm was tabulated as being in the 

operator's principal county. The principal county was defined 

as the one where the largest value of agricultural products 

was raised or produced. It was usually the county containing all or the largest proportion of the land in the farm or 

viewed by the respondent as his/her principal county. For 

a limited number of Midwest and Western States, this 

procedure has resulted in the allocation of more land in 

farms to a county than the total land area of the county. To 

minimize this distortion, separate reports were required for 

large farms identified from the 1982 census as having 

more than one farm unit. Other reports received showing 

land in more than one county were separated into two or 

more reports if the data would substantially affect the 

county totals. 

Value of land and buildings-Respondents were asked 

to report their estimate of the current market value of land 

and buildings owned, rented or leased from others, and 

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

the land and buildings would sell for under current market 

conditions. If the value of land and buildings was not 

reported, it was estimated using the average value of land 

and buildings from a similar farm in the same geographic 

area. 

APPENDIX A A-3 
Harvested cropland-This category includes land from 

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

orchards, citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from which two or more crops were harvested was counted only once, even though there was 

more than one use of the land. 

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. Included also was all cropland used for 

rotation pasture and land in government diversion programs that were pastured. However, cropland that was 

pastured before or after crops were harvested was to be 

included as harvested cropland rather than cropland for 

pasture or grazing. 

Other cropland-This category includes cropland not 

harvested and not grazed which was used for cover crops, 

soil improvement crops, land on which all crops failed, 

cultivated summer fallow, idle cropland, and land planted 

in crops that were to be harvested after the census year. 

Total woodland-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, land planted for Christmas tree production, 

and woodland pastured. Land covered by sagebrush or 

mesquite was to be reported as other pastureland and 

rangeland or other land. 

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. 

Cropland in annual commodity acreage adjustment 

programs-This category includes land diverted or set 

aside under the provisions of the Federal Commodity 

Acreage Program. These data are for the acres of cropland 

taken out of production by growers of wheat, cotton, rice, 

corn, sorghum, barley, and oats, and devoted to conservation uses. Information was not obtained as to which 

crops would have been grown on the acres set aside. 

Cropland in the Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP)-This category includes acres of "highly erodible" 

cropland taken out of agricultural production and planted 

to protective cover crops or reforested. The CRP was 

established through the 1985 Food Security Act and 

provides for annual rental payments and shared costs of 

conservation practices through a 10-year contract with the 

USDA. Appendix B presents data on places with all their 

cropland enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program 

and which were not counted as farms in the 1987 census. 

A-4 APPENDIX A 

Irrigated land-This category includes all land watered 

by any artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers, 

furrows or ditches, and spreader dikes. Included are 

supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each acre 

was to be counted only once regardless of the number of 

times it was irrigated or harvested. 

Operator-The term "operator" designates a person 

who operates a farm, either dOing the work or making 

day-to-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 partnerships, only one partner is counted as the operator. If it is 

not clear which partner is in charge, then the senior or 

oldest active partner is considered the operator. For 

census purposes, the number of operators is the same as 

the number of farms. In some cases, the operator was not 

the individual named on the address label of the report 

form, but another family member, a partner, or a hired 

manager who was actually in charge of the farm operation. 

Operator characteristics-All operators were asked 

to report place of residence, principal occupation, days of 

off-farm work, year in which his/her operation of the farm 

began, age, race, sex, and Spanish origin. If race, age, sex, 

and principal occupation were not reported, they were 

imputed based on information reported by farms with 

similar acreage, tenure, and value of sales. No imputations 

were made for nonresponse to place of residence, Spanish origin, off-farm work, or year began operation. Operators of Spanish origin were tabulated by reported race. 

Farm production expenses-In 1987, additional specific expense items and a category for all other farm 

production expenses were added to the selected farm 

production expenses collected in 1982. Consequently, we 

are publishing total farm production expenses in 1987. The 

expenses are limited to those incurred in the operation of 

the farm business. Expenses include the share of the 

expenditures provided by landlords, contractors, and partners in the operation of the farm business. Property taxes 

paid by landlords are excluded. Expenditures for nonfarm 

activities; farm-related activities such as providing customwork for others, the production and harvest of forest 

products, and recreational services; and household expenses 

are excluded. In 1987, as in other recent censuses, 

operators producing crops, livestock, or poultry under 

contract often were unable or unwilling to estimate the cost 

of production inputs furnished by the contractors. As a 

consequence, extensive estimation was required for contract producers. 

Commercial fertilizer-The expense for commercial 

fertilizer is the amount spent on fertilizer during 1987 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
including the cost of custom application. The cost of 

custom application was excluded from the 1982 and 

1978 data. 

Agricultural chemicals-These expenses include the 

cost of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and 

other pesticides, including the cost of custom application. Data exclude commercial fertilizer purchased. 

The cost of custom application was excluded from the 

1982 and 1978 data. The cost of lime was excluded 

from the 1987 and 1982 data, but included in 1978. 

Customwork, machine hire, and rental of machinery 

and equipment-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. The cost of custom application of fertilizer and chemicals was included in the 

1982 and 1978 customwork data, but is included in 

expenditures for these items in 1987. The cost of hired 

labor for operating rented or hired machinery is included 

as a hired farm and ranch labor expense. 

Interest-In 1987, separate data were collected for 

interest paid on debts secured by real estate and 

interest paid on debts not secured by real estate. In 

1982, only total interest expenses were collected. 

Market value of agricultural products sold-This 

category represents the gross market value before taxes 

and production expenses of all agricultural products sold 

or removed from the place in 1987 regardless of who 

received the payment. It includes sales by the operator as 

well as the value of any shares received by partners, 

landlords, contractors, or others associated with the operation. In addition, it includes receipts from placing commodities in the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan 

program in 1987. It does not include payments received for 

participation in federal farm programs nor does it include 

income from farm-related sources such as customwork 

and other agricultural services, or income from nonfarm 

sources. 

The value of crops sold in 1987 does not necessarily 

represent the sales from crops harvested in 1987. Data 

may include sales from crops produced in earlier years and 

exclude some crops produced in 1987, but held in storage 

and not sold. For commodities, such as sugar beets and 

wool, sold through a co-op which made payments in 

several installments, respondents were requested to report 

the total value received in 1987. 

The value of agricultural products sold was requested of 

all operators. If the operator failed to report this information, estimates were made based on the amount of crops 

harvested, livestock or poultry inventory or number sold. 

Extensive estimation was required for operators growing 

crops or livestock under contract. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

Caution should be used when comparing sales in 1987 

with sales reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures are 

expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted 

for inflation or deflation. 

Government payments-ThiS category is limited to 

direct cash or generic commodity certificate (PIK) payments received by the farm operator in 1987. It includes 

deficiency and diversion payments; wool payments; payments from the Dairy Termination Program, the Conservation Reserve Program, other conservation programs, and 

all other federal farm programs under which payments 

were made directly to farm operators. 

Other farm-related Income-The 1987 report form 

included a new inquiry on income from farm-related sources. 

These data consist of gross income in 1987 before taxes 

and expenses from the sales of farm by-products and 

other sales and services closely related to the principal 

functions of the farm business. These data are for income 

producing activities that are primarily a by-product or 

supplemental to the farm operation. They exclude income 

from business activities that are separate from the farm 

business. 

Customwork and other agricultural services-This 

income includes gross receipts received by 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 

constitutes a separate business or is conducted from 

another location. 

Rental of farmland-This income includes gross cash 

rent 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, permonth, or per-pound basis. It excludes rental income 

from nonfarm property. 

Sales of forest products-This income includes gross 

receipts from the sales of Christmas trees, standing 

timber, maple products, gum for naval stores, firewood, and other forest products from the farm business. It excludes income from nonfarm timber tracts 

and sawmill businesses. 

Other farm-related income sources-This income 

includes gross receipts from hunting leases, fishing 

fees, camping, other recreational services, patronage 

dividends of cooperatives, sales of farm by-products, 

and other sales and services closely related to the 

farm business. It excludes income from nonfarm businesses. 

Commodity Credit Corporations loans-This category includes loans for corn, wheat, soybeans, sorghum, 

barley, oats, cotton, peanuts, rye, rice, tobacco, and honey. 

APPENDIX A A-5 
Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer and 

lime-For each type of agricultural chemical, the acres 

treated were to be reported only once even if the acres 

were fertilized or limed more than once. If multipurpose 

chemicals were used, the acres treated for each purpose 

were to be reported. 

Fish and other aquacultural products-The raising of 

fish and other aquacultural products in captivity is included 

in the agriculture census. Production in salt water is 

considered not to be in captivity and is excluded from the 

census. 

Bees and honey-Bee and honey production was 

enumerated and tabulated in the county in which the home 

farm was located even though hives are often moved from 

farm to farm over a wide geographic area. 

Citrus enumeration-In the 1987 census, reports for 

selected citrus caretakers in Arizona, Florida, and Texas 

were obtained by direct enumeration. A citrus caretaker is 

an organization or person caring for or managing citrus 

groves for others. This special enumeration has been used 

in recent censuses because of the difficulty in identifying 

and enumerating absentee grove owners who often do not 

know the information that is needed to adequately complete the census report. Each citrus caretaker was enumerated as a farm operator and requested to complete 

one report form for all groves cared for and to furnish a list 

of grove owners' names, addresses, and acres of citrus. 

The names on the lists were matched to completed grove 

owners' report forms to eliminate duplication. The caretaker also was requested to inform the grove owner that he 

had already reported for the citrus under his care and that 

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

1987 census, 7 caretakers in Arizona reported 175 grove 

owners having 12,000 acres of citrus; the 65 caretakers in 

Florida reported 3,000 grove owners having 170,000 acres 

of citrus; and 20 caretakers in Texas reported 800 grove 

owners having 14,500 acres of citrus. 

Crop year or season covered-Acres and quantity 

harvested are for the calendar year 1987 except for citrus 

fruits, avocados, olives; vegetables in Florida; sugarcane in 

Florida and Texas; and pineapples and coffee in Hawaii. 

Citrus fruits-The data for Florida relate to the quantity 

harvested in the September 1986 through July 1987 

harvest season, except limes that were harvested in 

the April 1987 through March 1988 harvest season. 

The data for Texas relate to the quantity harvested in 

the September 1986 through May 1987 harvest season. The data for States, other than Florida and Texas, 

relate to the quantity harvested in the 1986-87 harvest 

season. 

Avocados-The data for California relate to the quantity harvested in the November 1986 through November 1987 harvest season and for Florida the April 1987 

through March 1988 harvest season. 

A-6 APPENDIX A 

Olives-The data for California relate to the quantity 

harvested in the September 1986 through March 1987 

harvest season. 

Vegetables-The data for Florida relate to the crop 

harvested in the September 1986 through August 

1987 harvest season. 

Sugarcane for sugar-The data for Florida relate to 

the cuttings from November 1986 through April 1987, 

and for Texas the cuttings from October 1986 through 

April 1987. 

Pineapples-The data for Hawaii relate to the quantity 

harvested in the year ending May 31, 1987. 

Coffee-The data for Hawaii relate to the 1986-87 crop. 

Acres and quantity harvested-Crops were reported 

in whole acres, except for the following crops which were 

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

tobacco, fruit and nut crops including land in orchards, 

berries, vegetables, and nursery and greenhouse crops; 

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

crops reported in 10ths of acres were rounded to whole 

acres at the aggregate level during the tabulation process. 

If two or more crops were harvested from the same land 

during the year, the acres would be counted for each crop. 

Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested generally 

exceeds the acres of cropland harvested. An exception to 

this procedure is hay crops. When more than one cutting of 

hay was taken from the same acres, the acres are counted 

only once but the quantity harvested includes all cuttings. 

However, hay cut for both dry hay and green chop or silage 

would be reported for each applicable crop. For interplanted crops or "skip-row" crops, acres were to be 

reported according to the portion of the field occupied by 

each crop. 

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

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

reported in the "land use" section under the appropriate 

cropland items-cropland used only for pasture or grazing, 

cropland used for cover crops, cropland on which all crops 

failed, or cropland idle. 

Corn and sorghum hogged or grazed were to be reported 

as "cropland harvested" and not as "cropland used only 

for pasture or grazing." Crop residue left in fields and later 

hogged or grazed was not reported as cropland pasture. 

Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as 

vegetables; nursery and greenhouse crops; corn cut for 

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

grazed. 

Acres of land in bearing and nonbearing fruit orchards, 

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

reported as harvested cropland regardless of whether the 

crop was harvested or failed. However, abandoned orchards 

were to be reported as cropland idle, not as harvested 

cropland and the individual abandoned orchard crop acres 

were not to be reported. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
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 less 

than 20 total fruit, citrus, or nut trees, or grapevines. 

Crop units of measure-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 a unit of measure 

different than the unit of measure published, the quantity 

harvested was converted to the published unit of measure. 

Grapes could be reported in dry weight or fresh weight; 

plums and prunes in fresh weight, or prunes in dry weight; 

and in Hawaii, coffee in pounds parchment or pounds 

cherry, and macadamia nuts in pounds husked, unshelled 

or pounds shelled. For other fruit and nut crops and citrus, 

the operator was given a choice of units of measure of 

pounds, tons, or boxes. The quantity harvested for these 

crops is published in pounds. 

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

form, only the major crops for the region were pre listed. 

For other crops, the respondent was requested 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 the crop into the appropriate "all other" 

category for that section. Write-in crops coded as "all 

other" were reviewed and assigned a specific code when 

possible. Crops not assigned a specific code were left in 

the appropriate "all other" category. 

In some cases, the reviewers were unable to determine 

the specific crop reported by the respondent because of 

incomplete or generalized crop names. To ensure proper 

coding, most of these respondents were telephoned. 

Reports for those not telephoned were changed on the 

basis of other reports for the area. 

Misreported or miscoded crops-In a few instances, 

tabulated data may be inaccurate because respondents 

misunderstood or misinterpreted questions on the report 

form. Data may have been reported on the wrong line or in 

the wrong section, or the wrong crop code may have been 

placed beside the name of a write-in crop. Some of these 

errors as well as some keying errors may not have been 

identified during processing and therefore, were not corrected. Reports with significant acres of unusual crops for 

the area were examined to minimize the possibility that 

they were in error. 

"See text" References 

Items in the tables which carry the note "See text" are 

explained or defined in this section. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

Data are based on a sample of farms-For 1987, 

1982, and 1978, selected data were collected from only a 

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

For 1987, the six-page sample form was mailed to all large 

and specialized farms (based on expected sales, acres, or 

standard industrial classification), all farms in Alaska and 

Hawaii, and approximately 17 percent of all other farms. 

Sample sections 23 through 28 of the 1987 census forms 

included inquiries on production expenses, commercial 

fertilizer and lime, chemicals, machinery and equipment, 

value of land and buildings, and income from farm-related 

sources. Estimates of the reliability of county totals for 

selected items are shown in table F of appendix C. 

Operators of Spanish origin-No imputation was made 

for those not responding to the question on Spanish origin. 

Farms operated by Black and other races-This 

category includes Blacks, American Indians, Asian and 

Pacific Islanders, and all other racial groups other than 

White. 

All other races-This category is primarily limited to 

persons native to or of ancestry from Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. 

Total sales-This item represents the gross market 

value of all agricultural products sold before taxes and 

expenses in the census year including livestock, poultry, 

and their products; and crops, including nursery crops and 

hay. Respondents were asked to include landlords' and 

contractors' shares. The value of commodities placed in 

CCC loans are included as sold. In 1987, all farms including abnormal farms were tabulated by size based on 

reported sales. In 1982 and 1978, abnormal farms were 

included in the total sales figure, but excluded from the 

detailed size breakdowns. Abnormal farms include institutional farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian 

reservations. 

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

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

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

more. These farms normally could be expected to sell 

$1 ,000 or more of agricultural products. 

Net cash return from agricultural sales for the farm 

unit-This category is derived by subtracting total operating expenditures from the gross market value of agricultural products sold. Depreciation and the change in inventory values are excluded from expenditures. Production 

expenditures may be understated on part owner and 

tenant farms because property taxes paid by landlords are 

excluded. Other landlord expenditures, such as insurance 

or rent paid, which are not readily known to renters may 

also be omitted or understated. Gross sales include sales 

by the operator as well as the share of sales received by 

APPENDIX A A-7 
partners, landlords, and contractors. Consequently, the 

net cash return is that of the farm unit rather than the net 

farm income of the operator. 

Other livestock and livestock products-This category includes all livestock and livestock products not listed 

separately. 

Value of livestock and poultry on farms-Data for 

the value of livestock and poultry on farms were obtained 

by multiplying the inventory of each major age and sex 

group by State average prices. The State average prices 

for cattle, hogs, sheep, Angora goats, hens and pullets of 

laying age, and turkeys were obtained primarily from data 

published by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, 

USDA. Prices applied to other livestock and poultry were 

census-derived averages based primarily on reported value 

of sales in the census. 

Poultry hatched-This category includes all poultry 

hatched on the place during the year and placed or sold. 

Incubator egg capacity on December 31, 1987, is tabulated under the column heading "Inventory" and the 

number of poultry hatched and placed or sold is under the 

heading "Sales." 

Hay-alfalfa, other tame, small grain, wild, grass 

silage, green chop, etc.-Data shown for hay represent 

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

crops cut and fed green (green chop). In production data, 

dry tons represent dry tonnage for the various hay categories and dry weight equivalents for grass silage and hay 

cut and fed green. The conversion used was 3 tons of 

green weight to 1 ton of dry weight. 

Tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild 

hay-Data shown represent dry tons of hay harvested 

from clover, lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudan 

grass, and other types of legume and tame grasses. 

Grapes-Farm operators were given the option of 

reporting the quantity of grapes harvested in dry weight or 

fresh weight. For publication purposes, all quantities of 

grapes harvested have been converted to pounds of fresh 

weight. The conversion used was 4 pounds fresh weight to 

1 pound dry weight. 

Plums and prunes-Farm operators were given the 

option of reporting the quantity of plums and prunes 

harvested in dry weight or fresh weight. For publication 

purposes, all quantities of plums and prunes harvested 

have been converted to pounds of fresh weight. The 

conversion used was 3 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry 

weight. 

Cherries-For 1987, cherries were reported as "sweet 

cherries," "tart cherries," or "cherries" depending on the 

regional form the respondent completed. On regional 

A-8 APPENDIX A 

forms for States where cherries are an important fruit crop, 

"sweet cherries" and "tart cherries" were listed separately. On the other regional forms, either "cherries" were 

listed or could be written in. For publication purposes, 

"cherries, total" could be shown along with the individual 

breakdown of "sweet cherries," "tart cherries," or "cherries, 

not specified." "Cherries, not specified" is used to account 

for cherries where the "sweet" and "tart" breakdown was 

not asked or where respondents wrote in "cherries" but 

did not specify or code the kind of cherry. All the individual 

cherry items may not be shown. Data for "sweet cherries," 

"tart cherries," and "cherries, not specified" are not 

available for 1982. 

Other fruits and nuts-Data shown for other fruits and 

nuts relate to any fruits and nuts not having a specific code 

on the 1987 report form. 

Land used for vegetables-Data are for the total land 

used for vegetable crops. The acres are reported only 

once, even though two or more harvests of a vegetable or 

more than one vegetable were harvested from the same 

acres. 

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. 

Nursery and greenhouse crops grown for sale-These 

data are a summation of the individual items reported. All 

of the individual items may not be shown. 

Nursery, floriculture, vegetable and flower seed 

crops, sod, etc., grown in the open, irrigated-Data 

refer to farms reporting irrigated nursery, floriculture, vegetable and flower seeds, sod, bedding plants, etc., grown 

in the open. 

Other grains-These data are for the total market 

value of other grains sold including dry edible beans, dry 

lima beans, buckwheat, dry southern peas (cowpeas), 

emmer and spelt, flaxseed, mixed grains, lentils, mustard 

seed, dry edible peas, popcorn, proso millet, rice, rye for 

grain, safflower, sunflower seed, triticale, and wild rice. 

Value of crop production-This item represents the 

estimated value of all crops harvested during the 1987 

crop year. Data for the value of crops harvested were 

obtained by multiplying the average estimated value per 

unit by the reported acres or quantity harvested. Generally, 

harvested units of production (pounds, bushels, bales, 

etc.) were multiplied by State estimates of prices per unit. 

If only acres harvested were reported, State estimates for 

value of production per acre were used. The State average 

production price and production value per acre used in 

these calculations were obtained usually from publications 

of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA. When 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
USDA estimates were not available, Bureau of the Census 

statisticians made estimates using available sources such 

as data from adjacent States, respondent report forms, 

county extension agents, and other persons knowledgeable about specific crops. 

FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED 

CHARACTERISTICS 

State tables 48 through 53 present detailed 1987 data 

for all farms classified by specified characteristics-tenure 

of operator, type of organization, age and principal occupation of operator, size of farm (acres), value of agricultural 

products sold, and standard industrial classification. Other 

tables include data classified by value of sales groups or 

other characteristics of the farm or the operator. 

Farms by value of agricultural products sold or 

value of sales-In 1987, all farms were tabulated by size 

based on reported sales. In 1982 and earlier censuses, 

abnormal farms were not tabulated based on sales size. In 

the tables on market value of agricultural products sold, 

the sales of abnormal farms in 1982 and earlier censuses 

were included in the total sales figure, but excluded from 

the detailed size categories. Abnormal farms included 

institutional farms, experimental and research farms, and 

Indian reservations. The category "farms with sales of less 

than $1,000" included all farms with actual sales of less 

than $1,000 but having the production potential for sales of 

$1,000 or more. These farms normally could be expected 

to sell $1,000 or more of agricultural products. 

The sales size categories used in this report are consistent with the standard business size categories issued 

by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in 1982. In 

State table 52, data are presented for four sales size 

categories between $10,000 and $49,999. This provides 

users with bridge data under both the OMB and the 1978 

census classifications. For the 1992 census, data will be 

presented only for the OMB sales size categories of 

$10,000 to $24,999 and $25,000 to $49,999. 

Abnormal farms-This category includes institutional 

farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. Institutional farms include those operated by hospitals, penitentiaries, churches, schools, grazing associations, and government agencies. In 1987 and 1982, 

nongovernmental units such as church farms and Future 

Farmers of America camps were classified as abnormal 

farms only when 50 percent or more of their products 

produced and intended for human consumption were 

utilized by the organization. 

Farms by tenure of operator-The classifications of 

tenure used in the 1987 census were: 

Full owners, who operate only land they own. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

Part owners, who operate land they own and also land 

they rent from others. 

Tenants, who operate only land they rent from others or 

work on shares for others. 

Farms by type of organization-All farms were classified by type of organization in the 1987 census. The 

classifications used were: 

Individual or family (sole proprietorship), excluding 

partnership and corporation. 

Partnership, including family partnership. 

Corporation, including family corporation. 

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

Corporations were subclassified by two additional characteristics into: 

1. Family held 

Other than family held 

2. More than 10 stockholders 

10 or less stockholders 

Farms by age and principal occupation of operator-Data on age and principal occupation were requested 

from all operators in 1987. The principal occupation classifications used were: 

Farming-The operator spent 50 percent or more of 

his/her worktime in 1987 in farming or ranching. 

Other-The operator spent more than 50 percent of 

his/her worktime in 1987 in occupations other than 

farming or ranching. 

Farms by size-All farms were classified into selected 

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 the tenant's farm and not the owner's. 

Farms by standard industrial classification-In 1987, 

all agricultural production establishments (farms, ranches, 

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

activity using the standard industrial classification (SIC) 

system. These classifications, found in the 1 987 SIC 

ManuaP, are used to promote uniformity and comparability 

in the presentation of statistical data collected by various 

agencies. 

1Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 1987. For sale by 

Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402. Stock No. 041-001-003-14-2. 

APPENDIX A A-9 
An establishment primarily engaged in crop production 

(major group 01) or production of livestock and animal 

specialties (major group 02) is classified in the four-digit 

industry and three-digit industry group which accounts for 

50 percent or more of the total value of sales of its 

agricultural products. If the total value of sales of agricultural products of an establishment is less than 50 percent 

from a single four-digit industry, but 50 percent or more 

from the products of two or more four-digit industries within 

the same three-digit industry group, the establishment is 

classified in the miscellaneous industry of that industry 

group. Otherwise, it is classified as a general crop farm in 

industry 0191 or a general livestock farm in industry 0291. 

Establishments that derive 50 percent or more of the value 

of sales from horticultural specialties of industry group 018 

are classified in industry 0181 or 0182 according to their 

primary activity. 

Characteristics of all farms by selected SIC groupings 

are shown in State tables 18 and 53. The SIC groupings 

shown in State table 53, together with the associated 

products (value of sales representing 50 percent or more 

of the value of agricultural products sold during the year) 

on which the classification is based, are as follows: 

Cash grains (011)-Wheat, rice, corn, soybeans, barley, buckwheat, cowpeas, dry field and seed beans 

and peas, flaxseed, lentils, milo, mustard seed, oats, 

popcorn, rye, safflower, sorghum, sunflowers, and 

other small grains. 

Cotton (0131)-Cotton and cottonseed. 

Tobacco (0132)-Tobacco. 

Sugarcane, sugar beets, Irish potatoes, hay, peanuts, and other field crops (0133, 0134, 

0139)-Sugarcane, sugar beets, Irish potatoes, alfalfa, 

broomcorn, clover, grass seed, hay, hops, mint, peanuts, sweetpotatoes, timothy, and yams. 

Vegetables and melons (016)-Vegetables and melons grown in the open. 

A-10 APPENDIX A 

Fruits and tree nuts (017)-Berries, grapes, tree nuts, 

citrus fruits, deciduous tree fruits, avocados, bananas, 

coffee, dates, figs, olives, pineapples, and tropical fruit. 

Horticultural specialties (018)-Bedding plants, bulbs, 

florists' greens, flower and vegetable seeds, flowers, 

foliage, fruit stocks, nursery stock, ornamental plants, 

shrubberies, sod, mushrooms, and vegetables grown 

under cover. 

General farms, primarily crops (019)-Crops, including horticultural specialties, but less than 50 percent of 

sales from any single three-digit industry group. 

Livestock, except dairy, poultry, and animal specialties (021)-Cattle, calves, hogs, sheep, goats, goat's 

milk, mohair, and wool. 

Beef cattle, except feedlots (0212)-Production or 

feeding of beef cattle, except feedlots. 

Dairy farms (024)-Production of cows' milk and other 

dairy products and raising of dairy heifer replacements. 

Poultry and eggs (025)-Chickens, chicken eggs, turkeys, ducks, geese, pheasants, pigeons, quail, and 

squab. 

Animal specialties (027)-Fur-bearing animals, rabbits, horses, ponies, bees, fish in captivity except fish 

hatcheries, worms, and laboratory animals. 

General farms, primarily livestock and animal specialties (029)- Livestock and animal specialties and 

their products, but less than 50 percent of sales from 

any single three-digit industry group. 

The SIC manual was revised for 1987. Animal aquaculture (0273) was established as a new industry and horticultural specialties, not elsewhere classified (0189) was 

deleted. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
APPENDIX B. 

Places With All Cropland in the Conservation Reserve 

Program 

The Food Security Act of 1985 established the 

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). This program 

provides annual payments for highly erodible cropland 

enrolled in the program and meeting its conservation 

requirements. It also requires that the land be taken out 

of agricultural production for 10 years. 

The 1987 Census of Agriculture includes Conservation 

Reserve acreage as land in farms on operations that 

meet the census farm definition. For census purposes, 

a farm is any place from which agricultural products of 

$1,000 or more were produced and sold or normally 

would have been sold during the census year. 

Operations which placed all of their cropland in the CRP 

and did not otherwise meet the farm definition based 

upon sales, livestock inventories, planted crops, or other 

criteria for potential sales were not included as farms in 

the census tabulations. 

Land in Conservation Reserve Program: 1987 

[For meaning of abbreviations and symbols, see introductory text J 

The following table provides CRP data for places not 

meeting the census farm definition ("whole farm" CRP 

places). It also contains separate but corresponding 

CRP data for farms included in the census tabulations. 

In addition to State data, detailed county data are 

presented for counties with three or more"whole farm" 

CRP places reported. For counties with less than three 

"whole farm" CRP places reported, their data are 

combined and reported in "all other counties." 

The data for "whole farm" CRP places are not 

complete for all counties. The census mail list was 

developed from sources which indicated the farm had 

agricultural production activity. It was not designed to 

cover all "whole farm" CRP places. Therefore, the data 

for these places are limited to what was reported in the 

census and have not been adjusted to account for 

nonresponse, incomplete coverage, and reporting errors.

MAIL LIST MODEL 

A statistical discriminant model was developed to predict the probability that a mail list addressee operated a 

farm. The model was used to identify the 4.1 million 

records from the preliminary census mail list of 6.0 million 

records that would receive a census of agriculture report 

form. Records from the 1982 census mail list were used to 

build the model. Record characteristics such as the source 

of the mail list record (see appendix A for a description of 

record sources), number of source lists on which the 

record appeared, expected value of agricultural sales, and 

geographic location were used to separate mail list records 

into model groups. The proportion of 1982 census farm 

records in each group was calculated to provide an 

estimate of the probability that an addressee in the group 

operated a farm. 

Using these same group definitions, the 1987 census 

mail list records were separated into groups, each with an 

associated estimate of farm probability from the model. 

The 4.1 million mail list records in groups with the largest 

estimate of farm probability were selected to receive the 

census report form. A large percentage of the 1.9 million 

records that were dropped from the 6.0 million preliminary 

census mail list were nonfarm records from the previous 

census. This procedure was used to obtain a more complete census enumeration without excessive respondent 

burden and data collection cost. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

CENSUS SAMPLE DESIGN 

Each of the 4.1 million name and address records on 

the census mail list was designated to receive one of three 

different types of census report forms. The three forms 

were the nonsample census form (a four-page form), the 

sample form (a six-page form), and the short form (a 

two-page form). Sections 1 through 22 of the sample form 

were identical to sections on the nonsample census form. 

However, the sample form contained additional sections 

on farm production expenditures, usage of fertilizers and 

insectiCides, value of machinery and equipment, value of 

land and buildings, and farm-related income. The short 

form contained abbreviated versions of the sections on the 

nonsample census form. These three different forms were 

used to reduce the response burden of the census, while 

providing quality information on a large number of data 

items at the county level. 

The sample form was mailed to all mail list records in 

Alaska and Hawaii and to a sample of records in other 

States identified when the mail list was constructed. Addresses 

were selected into the sample with certainty if they were 

expected to have large total values of agricultural products 

sold or large acreage, if they were firms with two or more 

farms, or if they had other special characteristics. When a 

nonsample large farm was identified during processing, a 

supplemental form that contained the additional data 

inquiries was mailed. All farms in counties with less than 

100 farms in 1982 were included in the sample with 

certainty; counties containing 100 to 199 farms in 1982 

were systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 2; and 

counties containing 200 or more farms in 1982 were 

systematically sampled at a rate of 1 in 6. This differential 

sample scheme was used to provide reliable data for 

sections 23 through 28 of the report form for all counties. 

To determine which mail list records would receive the 

short form, all mail list records not deSignated for the 

sample were sorted into model groups according to farm 

probability as specified by the mail list model. The 906,000 

mail list records in the model groups with the lowest 

probability of being farms and with an expected total value 

of agricultural product sales less than $20,000 were designated to receive the short form. The remaining mail list 

records were selected to receive the nonsample census 

form. 

CENSUS ESTIMATION 

The 1987 Census of Agriculture used two types of 

statistical estimation procedures. These estimation 

APPENDIX C C-1 
procedures accounted both for nonresponse to the data 

collection and for the sample data collection. These procedures are used because some farm operators never 

respond to the census despite numerous attempts to 

contact them, and not all farm operators are requested to 

provide the sample data items. 

Whole Farm Nonresponse Estimation 

A statistical estimation procedure was used to account 

for the census farms among mail list nonrespondents that 

were not designated for telephone followup. A stratified 

systematic sample of eligible census nonrespondents were 

mailed a simplified report form. Five sample strata were 

defined based on form type, expected value of sales, and 

previous census status. The report form was designed to 

provide sufficient information to determine farm status. 

Additional mail and telephone contacts were made to 

survey nonrespondents to obtain sufficient response for 

survey estimates. 

Estimates of the proportion of census nonrespondents 

that operated farms were made for each stratum in the 

State using survey results and applied to the total number 

of census non respondents in that stratum. A synthetic 

estimation procedure was used to estimate the number of 

census nonrespondents that operated farms for each 

county by stratum. This estimation procedure is based on 

the assumption that the distribution of farms in a stratum 

by county is the same for census nonrespondents as for 

census respondents. 

Within each stratum in a county, a noninteger nonresponse weight was calculated and assigned to each 

eligible respondent farm record. The procedure used for 

calculating the nonresponse weight assumed the eligible 

census respondents and the nonrespondent farm operations in a county had similar characteristics within each 

stratum. The noninteger nonresponse weight was the ratio 

of the sum of the estimated number of nonrespondent 

farms (using nonresponse survey results) and the number 

of eligible census respondent farms to the number of 

eligible census respondent farms. Stratum controls were 

established to ensure that this weight was never greater 

than 2.0. The noninteger nonresponse weight was used in 

the estimation of the final weight for the sample items. It 

was randomly rounded to an integer weight of either 1 or 2 

for each record for tabulating the complete count items. 

The procedure assumed that we obtain complete response 

from large and unique farm operations because these 

cases received intensive telephone followup during census processing. In situations where addressees could not 

be contacted by telephone or refused to cooperate, secondary sources such as Agricultural Stabilization and 

Conservation Service offices or county extension agents 

were asked to provide information as to whether or not the 

addressee had agricultural activities. Data from previous 

census reports for the specific addressee, in conjunction 

with other information, were used to complete the census 

report form. 

C-2 APPENDIX C 

Table A quantifies the effect of the nonresponse estimation procedure on selected census data items. The 

percentage of the census value contributed by nonresponse estimation as provided in this table indicates the 

potential for bias in published figures resulting from this 

procedure. The estimates provided in these tables do not 

reflect the effect of non response to individual data items 

on respondents' census report forms. The effect of this 

item nonresponse is discussed further under Census Nonsampling Error.

Sample Estimation 

All respondent sample records received a sample weight 

The sample data estimates the actual figures that would 

have resulted from a complete census of the items in 

sections 23 through 28 of the report form. The estimates 

were obtained from an iterative ratio estimation procedure 

that resulted in the aSSignment of a weight to each record 

containing sample items. For any given county, a sample 

item total was estimated by multiplying the data items for 

each farm in the county by the corresponding sample 

weight and summing overall sample records in the county. 

Each sample farm was assigned one sample weight to 

be used to produce estimates for all sample items. For 

example, if the weight given to a sample farm had the 

value 5, all sample data items reported by that farm would 

be multiplied by 5. The weight assigned a certainty farm 

was 1. The estimation procedure used to assign weights 

was performed for each county. 

Within a county, the ratio estimation procedure for farms 

was performed in three steps using three variables. The 

first variable contained eight 1987 total value of agricultural 

production (TVP) groups. Both the second and third 

variables, Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code and 

farm acreage, contained two groups. The variable groups 

were as follows: 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
TVP 

$1 to $999 

$1,000 to $ 2,499 

$2,500 to $ 4,999 

$5,000 to $ 9,999 

$10,000 to $24,999 

$25,000 to $49,999 

$50,000 to $99,999 

$100,000 or more 

SIC 

01 All crops 

02 All livestock 

Acres 

o to 69 

70 or more 

The first step in the estimation procedure was to partition the sample records into 32 mutually exclusive initial 

post strata formed by combining the three variable groups. 

This produced a three dimensional array where the cells of 

the array corresponded to the initial post strata groups. 

Each sample farm record was assigned an initial weight 

equal to the ratio of the total farm count to the sample farm 

count, expanded for nonresponse estimation, for the cell 

containing the sample farm. This weight was approximately equal to the inverse of the probability of selecting a 

farm for the census sample. 

The second step in the estimation procedure was to 

combine, if necessary, the cells of the array (prior to the 

repeated ratio estimation) to increase the reliability of the 

ratio estimation procedure. Any cell within the array that 

either contained less than 10 sample farms or had a ratio 

of total farms to sample farms that was more than 2 times 

the mail sample rate was collapsed with another cell (in the 

same variable) according to a specified collapsing pattern. 

New total farm counts and sample farm counts were 

computed for each of the collapsed cells (final post strata) 

and were used in the ratio estimation procedure to calculate final sample weights. 

In the third step in the ratio estimation procedure, 

complete counts for the three variables (TVP, SIC, acreage) were used to compute the marginals of the array 

defined by the final post strata. Factors were then applied 

to expanded sample totals in each cell of the array to 

obtain agreement with the row marginal (TVP) complete 

counts. The sample totals then had factors applied to 

obtain agreement with the column marginal (SIC) complete 

counts. Lastly, the sample totals had factors applied to 

obtain agreement with the depth marginal (acreage) complete counts. This procedure that requires the row totals, 

then the column totals, and then the depth totals to agree 

with the complete counts for the rows, columns, and 

depths, respectively, is continued iteratively until the process converges (the marginal totals agree with the complete count totals). 

The ratio of the adjusted total farm count to the sample 

farm count obtained from the second iteration of the 

estimation procedure was the noninteger final post stratum 

sample weight assigned to the sample farm records in that 

post stratum. The noninteger sample weight, the product 

of the noninteger final post stratum sample weight and the 

nonresponse weight, was randomly rounded to an integer 

weight for tabulation. If, for example, the final weight for the 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

farms in a particular group was 7.2, then one-fifth of the 

sample farms in this group were randomly assigned a 

weight of 8 and the remaining four-fifths received a weight 

of 7. 

CENSUS SAMPLING ERROR 

Sampling error in the census data results from the 

nonresponse sample and the census sample data collection. Census items were classified as either complete 

count or sample data items. The complete count items 

were asked of all farm operators. The complete count data 

items included land in farms, harvested cropland, livestock 

inventory and sales, crop acreages, quantities harvested 

and crop sales, land use, irrigation, government loans and 

payments, conservation acreage, type of organization, and 

operator characteristics (sections 1 through 22 of the 

census report form). Variability in the complete count data 

items is considerably smaller than in the sample items as 

the variation is due only to the non response sample 

estimation procedure. The sample items were asked of 

approximately 25 percent of the total census farm operators. The sample data items included farm production 

expenditures, fertilizer and chemical usage, farm machinery and equipment, value of land and buildings, and 

farm-related income (sections 23 through 28 of the census 

report form). Variability in the estimates of sample items is 

due both to the census sample selection and estimation 

procedure and the nonresponse sample estimation procedure. 

The sample for the 1987 Census of Agriculture is one of 

a large number of possible samples of the same size that 

could have been selected using the same sample design. 

Estimates derived from the different samples would differ 

from each other. The difference between a sample estimate and the average of all possible sample estimates is 

called the sampling deviation. The standard error or sampling error of a survey estimate is a measure of the 

variation among the estimates from all possible samples, 

and thus is a measure of the precision with which an 

estimate from a particular sample approximates the average result of all possible samples. The percent relative 

standard error of estimate is defined as the standard error 

of the estimate divided by the value being estimated 

multiplied by 100. If all possible samples were selected, 

each of the samples were surveyed under essentially the 

same conditions, and an estimate and its standard error 

were calculated from each sample, then: 

1. Approximately 67 percent of the intervals from one 

standard error below the estimate to one standard 

error above the estimate would include the average 

value of all possible samples. 

2. Approximately 90 percent of the intervals from 1.65 

standard errors below the estimate to 1.65 standard 

errors above the estimate would include the average value of all possible samples. 

APPENDIX C C-3 
The computations involved to define the above confidence statements are illustrated in the following example. 

Assume that the estimate of number of farms for the State 

is 94,382 and the relative standard error of the estimate 

(percent) is.1 percent (0.001). Multiplying 94,382 by 0.001 

yields 94, the standard error. Therefore, a 67 -percent 

confidence interval is 94,288 to 94,476 (Le., 94,382 plus or 

minus 94). If corresponding confidence intervals were 

constructed for all possible samples of the same size and 

design, approximately 2 out of 3 (67 percent) of these 

intervals would contain the figure obtained from a complete enumeration. Similarly, a 90 percent confidence 

interval is 94,227 to 94,538 (Le., 94,382 plus or minus 1.65 

x 94). 

Tables Band C provide the reliability estimates of the 

estimated number of farms in a county reporting complete 

count and sample items, respectively. Both tables show 

the percent relative standard errors for selected estimated 

number of farms in a county reporting an item.These are 

derived from a regression equation. The parameters of the 

regression equation were estimated using the estimated 

number of farms in a county reporting the complete count 

or sample item as the independent variable and the 

standard error of that estimate as the dependent variable 

for all counties in the State.

Note: Complete count items are items in sections 1 to 22 of the report 

form. 

To illustrate the use of these tables, assume that the 

estimate of the number of farms reporting hogs and pigs 

for a particular county, as given in county table 12, is 89. 

Since hogs and pigs is a complete count data item, refer to 

table B and select the estimated relative standard error of 

the estimate from the row whose value is equal to or just 

less than the estimated number of farms, 89. For this 

example, the relative standard error of the estimate comes 

from the row for 75 farms reporting. For sample data items, 

follow the same procedure using table C. In counties that 

had less than 100 farms in the 1982 Census of Agriculture, 

table C does not apply because the farms in these 

C-4 APPENDIX C 

counties were sampled with certainty (1 in 1), and thus, the 

reliability estimates for the number of farms in these 

counties are smaller than for counties that were sampled 

at lower rates (1 in 2 or 1 in 6).

Table D presents the relative standard error of selected 

State data items for all farms and for all farms with sales of 

$10,000 or more_ The percent relative standard error of the 

estimate for complete count data measures the variation 

associated with the sample-based adjustment for whole 

farm nonresponse. The percent relative standard error of 

the estimate for sample items measures both the sampling 

error due to the nonresponse sample estimation procedure 

and the census sample selection and estimation procedure. The reliability of State estimates may vary substantially from State to State. Generally, State estimates for a 

given data item are less reliable than the corresponding 

U.S. estimate. 

Table E presents the standard error (not relative standard error) for percent change in State totals from 1982 to 

1987. The general purpose of the percent change estimate 

is to provide a relative measure of the difference in a 

characteristic between censuses. The relative change for 

a given characteristic is defined as the ratio of the difference of the 1987 and the 1982 estimate for that characteristic to the 1982 estimate. This ratio is multiplied by 100 

to obtain the percent change. The percent standard error 

of a percent change estimate, then, is the standard error of 

the ratio multiplied by 100. 

Table F presents the relative standard error for county 

totals for 10 major complete count items and 7 sample 

items. The relative standard error of the estimate (percent) 

for the same item differs among counties in a State. 

Reasons for this are differences among counties in (1) the 

total number of farms, (2) the number cif large farms 

included with certainty, (3) the size classifications of the 

farms sampled, (4) the amount of nonresponse, (5) the 

general agricultural characteristics, and (6) the specific 

characteristic being measured. 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
CENSUS NONSAMPLING ERROR 

The accuracy of the census counts are affected by the 

jOint effects of the sampling errors described in the previous section and nonsampling errors. Extensive efforts 

were made to compile a complete and accurate mail list for 

the census, to design an understandable report form and 

instructions, and to minimize processing errors through the 

use of quality control, verification, and check measures on 

specific operations. Nonsampling errors arise from incompleteness of the census mail list, duplication in the mail list, 

incorrect data reporting, errors in editing of reported data, 

and errors in imputation for missing data. These specific 

nonsampling errors are further discussed in this section. 

Evaluation studies will be conducted to measure the extent 

of certain nonsampling errors such as coverage error, 

classification error, and item imputation. 

Census Coverage 

The main objective of the census of agriculture is to 

obtain a complete and accurate enumeration of U.S. farms 

with accurate data on all aspects of the agricultural operation. However, the cost and availability of resources for 

this enumeration place restrictions on operationally feasible data collection methodologies. The past five agriculture censuses have been conducted by mail enumeration 

with telephone contact for selected nonrespondents. The 

completeness of such an enumeration thus depends to a 

large extent on the coverage of farm operations by the 

census mail list. 

Historically, the census of agriculture has included 

approximately 90 percent of the farms in the United States 

and over 96 percent of the agricultural production. Complete enumeration of agricultural operations satisfying the 

farm definition of $1,000 or more in agricultural sales is 

complicated by fluctuations in agricultural operations qualifying for enumeration, the variety of arrangements under 

which farms are operated, the multiplicity of names used 

by an operation, the number of operations in which an 

operator participates, the accuracy of data reporting, etc. A 

new mail list is compiled for each census because no 

current single list of agricultural operations is comprehensive. 

An evaluation of census coverage has been conducted 

for each census of agriculture since 1945. The evaluation 

provides estimates of the completeness of census farm 

count and major census data items. In addition, the 

evaluation helps to identify problems in the census enumeration and provide information that can form the basis 

for improvements. The results of the 1987 Coverage 

Evaluation program will be published in volume 2, part 2. 

The evaluation of coverage conducted in 1987 was 

designed to measure errors in the census mail list and in 

farm classification. Mail list error includes a measurement 

of farms not on the census mail list (undercount), and a 

measurement of farms enumerated more than once in the 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

census (overcount). Classification error includes a measurement of farms classified as nonfarms in the census 

(undercount) and of nonfarms classified as farms in the 

census (overcount). Classification error arises from reporting and processing errors. Mail list undercount dominates 

all coverage errors. Net coverage error is defined as the 

difference of undercounted and overcounted farms. Measurements of these errors, as well as a description of the 

complete coverage program, will be available in the Coverage Evaluation report. 

Mail List Coverage 

A major problem with the use of a mail list for the census 

of agriculture enumeration is the difficulties that are encountered in compiling a complete list. The percentage of farms 

on the census mail list varies considerably by State. 

Several reasons have contributed to farm operators' names 

not being included on the census mail list-the operation 

may have been started after the mail list was developed, 

the operation may be so small as not to appear in 

agricultural related source lists used in compiling the 

census list, or the operation may have been falsely classified as a nonfarm prior to mailout. A large proportion of 

the farms not included on the mail list were small in both 

acres and sales of agricultural products. 

The 1987 Census of Agriculture Coverage Evaluation 

used the area segment sample of the 1987 June Enumerative Survey (JES) of the National Agricultural Statistical 

Service (NASS) to estimate farms not on the census mail 

list. The Census Bureau contracted with the NASS to 

augment the JES data collection and receive survey data 

under the confidentiality protection afforded by Title 13, 

U.S. Code, from all residents of area sample segments 

with agricultural activity. These survey records were matched 

to the census mail list. Records that did not match were 

mailed a census of agriculture report form to estimate mail 

list coverage. Estimates of farms not on the census mail 

list used the capture-recapture dual frame estimator that 

will be described in the Coverage Evaluation report. 

Table G provides coverage evaluation estimates of the 

number of farms not on the mail list and selected characteristics of those farms with their percent relative standard 

error. The table also provides an estimate of characteristics of farms not on the mail list as a percentage of total 

farms in the State. The estimate of total farms in the State 

is based on census farm count and the estimated number 

of farms not on the census mail list. This estimate of total 

farms in the State was not adjusted for classification and 

list duplication errors. Estimates of these errors will be 

made at the regional rather than the State level and will be 

available in the Coverage Evaluation report. The table 

provides the standard error (not relative standard error) of 

this percent estimate. 

Respondent and Enumerator Error 

Incorrect or incomplete responses to the mailed census 

report form or to the questions posed by a telephone 

APPENDIX C C-5 
enumerator introduce error into the census data. Such 

incorrect information can lead, in some cases, to incorrect 

enumeration of farms. This type of reporting error is 

measured by the Classification Error Study discussed later 

in this section. To reduce all types of reporting error, 

questions were phrased as clearly as possible based on 

tests of the census report form, and detailed instructions 

for completing the report form were provided to each 

addressee. In addition, each respondent's answers were 

checked for completeness and consistency. 

Item Nonresponse 

Nonresponse to particular questions on the census 

report that we would logically or statistically expect to be 

present may create a type of nonsampling error in both 

complete count and sample data. When information reported 

for another farm with similar characteristics is used to edit 

or impute for item nonresponse, the data may be biased 

because the characteristics of the nonrespondents have 

not been observed and may differ from those reported by 

respondents. Any attempt to correct the data for nonresponse may not completely reflect this difference either at 

the element level (individual farm operation) or on the 

average. 

Processing Error 

The many steps of processing of each census report 

form are sources for the introduction of nonsampling error. 

The processing of the census report forms includes clerical screening for farm activity, computerized check-in of 

report forms and followup of nonrespondents, keying and 

transmittal of completed report forms, computerized editing of inconsistent and missing data, review and correction 

of individual records referred from the computer edit, 

review and correction of tabulated data, and electronic 

data processing. These operations undergo a number of 

quality control checks to ensure as accurate an application 

as possible, yet some errors are not detected and corrected. 

Classification Error 

An evaluation study of classification errors was conducted in the 1987 Census of Agriculture as part of the 

census coverage evaluation program. A sample of mail list 

respondents was selected, and these addresses reenumerated to determine whether they were a farm or nonfarm. A farm status determination was made based on the 

evaluation questionnaire and compared with the status 

based on the data reported on the census form. Differences in status were reconciled. 

In past censuses, the proportion of farms undercounted 

due to classification errors was higher for farms with small 

values of sales. The classification error rate was higher for 

(1) livestock farms than crop farms, (2) farms with a small 

C-6 APPENDIX C 

number of acres than larger farms, or (3) tenant farms than 

full or part-owner farms. Results from the 1987 classification error study will be published in the Coverage Evaluation report. 

EDITING DATA AND IMPUTATION FOR ITEM 

NONRESPONSE 

For the 1987 Census of Agriculture, as in previous 

censuses, all reported data were keyed and then edited by 

computer. The edits were used to determine whether the 

reports met the minimum criteria to be counted as farms in 

the census. Computer edits also performed a series of 

complex, logical checks of consistency and completeness 

of item responses. They provided the basis for deciding to 

accept, impute (supply), delete, or alter the reported value 

for each data record item. 

Whenever possible, edit imputations, deletions, and 

changes were based on component or related data on the 

respondent's report form. For some items, such as operator characteristics, data from the previous census were 

used when available. Values for other missing or unacceptable reported data items were calculated based on reported 

quantities and known price parameters. 

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 a geographically adjacent area 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 quantity of corn harvested, 

was aSSigned the same bushels of corn per acre harvested 

as that of the last nearby farm with similar characteristics 

that reported acceptable yields during that particular execution of the computer edit. The imputation for missing 

items in each section of the report form was conducted 

separately; thus, aSSigned values for one operation could 

come from more than one respondent. 

Prior to the imputation operation, a set of default values 

and relationships were aSSigned to the possible imputation 

variables. The relationships and values varied depending 

on the item being imputed. For example, different default 

values were assigned for several standard industrial classification and total value of sales categories when imputing 

hired farm labor expenses. These values and item relationships for the possible imputation variables were stored in 

the computer in a series of matrices. The computer 

records were sorted by reported State and county, where 

the county sequence was based on similar types of farms 

and agricultural practices. 

Each execution of the computer edit consisted of records 

from only one State. For a given execution of the edit, the 

stored entries in the various matrices were retained in the 

computer only until a succeeding record having acceptable 

characteristics for some sections of the report form was 

processed by the computer. Then the acceptable responses 

1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
of the succeeding operation replaced those previously 

stored. When a record processed through the edit had 

unreported or unacceptable data, the record was assigned 

the last acceptable ratio or response from an operation 

with a similar set of characteristics. Once each execution 

of the computer edit for a State was completed, the 

possible imputation variables were reset to the default 

values and relationships for subsequent executions. 

After the initial computer edit, keyed reports not meeting 

the census farm definition were reviewed to ensure that 

the data were keyed correctly. Edit referrals were generated for about 30 percent of the reports included as farms, 

and they were also reviewed for keying accuracy and to 

ensure that the computer edit actions were correct. If the 

results of the computer edit were not acceptable, corrections were made and the record was reedited. More 

extensive discussions of the edit and item imputation 

methodology with measures of the extent of imputation in 

the census estimates will be provided in a separate 

research report.
