Cosner, Cathern S. Kline, and Irene A. Grey. 

Within the Publications Services Division, many individuals made 

significant contributions in the areas of publication planning and design, 

editorial review, composition, and printing procurement. 

Important contributions were made by the members of the Census 

Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics in establishing data needs 

and priorities for collection and publication of the information. Other 

representatives of both public and private organizations also made 

significant recommendations and suggestions. 

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

provided advice and counsel during the planning, data collecting, and 

processing phases of the census and assisted farmers and ranchers who 

requested help in completing the report form. 

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

most helpful in publicizing the census and encouraging cooperation of 

farm and ranch operators. John W. Ternus and Douglas J. Miller, Agriculture Division, and Richard D. Ritter, Public Information Office, were 

primarily responsible for developing and coordinating the public relations 

program. 

Special tribute is paid to the millions of farm and ranch operators 

and other agriculture-associated people who furnished the information 

requested in the census. Only through their cooperation was it possible 

to collect and publish the data in this report.

HISTORY 

The census of agriculture provides a periodic statistical 

picture of the Nation's farming, ranching, and related activities. 

The 1978 Census of Agriculture is the 21 st 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. From 1840 to 1950, an agriculture 

census was taken as part of the decennial census of population. 

A mid-decade census of agriculture was conducted in 1925, 

1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974 a census of agriculture .was 

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

authorized the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and 

1982 to adjust the data reference year to coincide with the 

1982 Economic Censuses covering manufacturing, mining, 

construction, retail trade, wholesale trade, service industries, 

and selected transportation activities. Thereafter, the agriculture 

census will revert to a 5-year cycle. 

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED 

The census of agriculture is authorized under the provisions 

of title 13, United States Code. Section 142(a) provides for the 

census to be taken in 1979, in 1983, and in every fifth year 

after 1983. Section 191 provides that the census shall include 

each State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and 

the Virgin Islands. A census of agriculture will be conducted in 

American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands in conjunction with the 1980 Census of Population and Housing. 

FARM DEFINITION 

Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for 

census purposes were first established, the farm definition has 

been changed nine times, as the Nation has grown and changed. 

The current definition was announced on August 12, 1975, in 

accordance with a joint agreement between the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Office of Management and Budget, and 

the Bureau of the Census. It defines a farm, for statistical 

purposes, as any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or normally would have been sold 

during the census year. The previous definition (used for the 

1959, 1964, and 1969 censuses, and for the 1974 preliminary 

county reports) counted as a farm any place with less than 10 

acres from which $250 or more of agricultural products were 

sold or normally would have been sold during the census year, 

or any place of 10 acres or more from which $50 or more of 

agricultural products were sold or normally wouid have been 

sold during the census year. 

METHOD OF ENUMERATION 

Evaluation studies of the 1969 and 1974 censuses, which 

were conducted primarily by mail, indicated that the 

administrative lists used to create the census mailing list were 

not adequate to assure complete coverage in the census. Also, 

censuses prior to 1969, conducted by direct enumeration, had 

been found by evaluation studies (conducted since 1950) to be 

progressively less and less complete, as increased mobility of 

farm operators led to increases in the numbers of nonresident 

operators, operators farming on a part-time basis, and operators 

farming two or more separate tracts. 

The 1978 Census of Agriculture was conducted primarily by 

mail for maximum economy, supplemented by a personal 

canvass of a statistical area segment sample for maximum 

completeness of coverage. The area segment sample, which 

consists of selected geographic areas completely canvassed by 

direct enumeration, provides reliable estimates for States of the 

number and characteristics of any farms not represented in the 

mail portion of the census. Estimates for such farms are an 

integral part of the State totals published for the 1978 census. 

The direct enumeration sample estimates are statistically reliable 

only for State totals and have not been allocated to counties. 

Appendix A provides a more detailed description of how the 

1978 census was taken and includes a discussion of census 

coverage. 

COMPARABI LlTY OF DATA 

State totals for 1978 are not directly comparable with totals 

for 1974 or earlier censuses as they include data for farm operations represented on the mail I ist plus estimates from the direct 

enumeration sample for farms not represented on the mail list. 

The 1974 State level data include only operations represented 

on the mail list. 

Coverage evaluation studies for the 1974 census indicated 

that 10.7 percent of all farms were not included in the census. 

Farms missed in the census were usually small and accounted 

for less than 3 percent of the total value of apricultural products 

sold and less than 6 percent of the land in farms. The proportion of farms missed in the 1974 census was generally higher in 
VIII INTRODUCTION-Continued 

States having a large proportion of small farms and urbanized 

areas having a sizable number of part-time farms. Farm 

counts for 1974, adjusted for the net undercount, are shown in 

appendix C. 

County level data on acreages and inventories for 1978 and 

1974 are generally comparable; however, improvements in the 

coverage of the 1978 census, especially of smaller farms, should 

be taken into consideration when comparing farm counts. 

USE OF SAMPLING 

Two types of sampling were used for data collection 

for the 1978 census. In addition to the State estimates from 

the direct enumeration sample discussed previously, data 

for items in sections 22 through 27 of the census report 

form were collected from only a sample of farms. Data based on 

a sample are subject to sampling error. Detailed discussions of 

the census report forms, the use of sampling, and estimates of 

sampling error are included in appendix A. 

GRAPHICS 

Several charts and maps presented on the following pages 

show selected agricultural statistics for this State. The items in 

the charts and the first four maps are presented for all States. 

The last four maps present data of particular importance to this 

State. 

TABULAR PRESENTATION 

State data-In chapter 1, State table~ 1 through 28 show 

detailed State level data usually accompanied by historical data 

for one or more censuses. Tables 29 through 35 provide 1978 

State data cross-tabulated by various farm classifications. 

County summary data-Selected data items are presented by 

county in chapter 2. Tables 1 through 15 include general data 

such as land in farms, size of farms, land use, operator 

characteristics, expenses, and machinery and equipment. Inven· 

tory and sales data for livestock, poultry, and animal specialties 

are contained in tables 16 through 27 and detailed crop data in 

tables 28 through 35. Tables 36 through 43 present data on 

foreign ownership, income from customwork, direct sales to 

consumers, operators by racial group, and female operators. 

Individual county data-F ive pages of tables are presented in 

chapter 3 for each county with 10 farms or more in 1978. The 

tables include final data for each county and are more 

comprehensive than those in the preliminary reports. Data are 

provided for all farms and for farms with sales of $2,500 or 

more for both 1978 and 1974. 

This chapter also includes a set of similar tables for the State 

as a whole and for those farms in the State not on the mailing 

list and not included in county tables. 

PRELIMINARY REPORTS 

Preliminary reports have been published separately for all 

counties in the United States with 10 farms or more in 1978, 

each State, the four geographic regions, and the United States. 

This series provided, at the earliest possible date, information on 

major data items, with comparable final data from the 1974 

census. The data items were standard for each State and county 

except in table 3 where the selected crops varied by State 

according to their relative importance in the State. The State 

preliminary report also included a full set of tables providing 

data derived from the direct enumeration sample on the esti· 

mated number and characteristics of farms not included in 

county totals because they were not represented on the mailing 

list. 

For major data items at the county level differences between 

the preliminary and final figures are in general less than 5 

percent. At the State level, differences are significantly less. 

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES 

In keeping with the provisions of title 13, United States 

Code, data that would disclose the operations of an individual 

farm are not published. However, the number of farms in a 

given size category or other classification is not considered a 

disclosure. Appenqix A presents additional information on 

disclosure rules. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

Appendix A includes definitions and explanations of selected 

terms used in the tables. 

"SEE TEXT" REFERENCE 

Items in the tables which are followed by the reference "See 

text" are explained or defined in appendix A.

TAKING THE CENSUS 

Method of Enumeration 

The 1978 Census of Agriculture was the first census to 

include a mailout/mailback enumeration supplemented by a 

thorough direct interview of all households in a sample of area 

segments. This combination list-direct enumeration sample 

approach was instituted to improve completeness of coverage 

for State level agriculture census statistics. 

In censuses prior to 1969, enumerators were assigned to a 

specific area and called on all farms within the area. Beginning 

with the 1950 census, copies of the report form were mailed 

prior to the enumeration date to each boxholder served by post 

offices in predominantly rural areas and farmers were asked to 

complete the forms and have them ready for the enumerator to 

pick up. Enumerators going door-to-door in rural areas collected 

and reviewed all forms that had been completed; they also 

completed forms for those places with agricultural operations 

which did not have forms ready. 

For the 1969 and 1974 censuses, data were collected 

primarily by a self-enumeration, mailout/mailback procedure. 

This procedure was made possible by the availability of 

specialty lists and several administrative lists, including records 

from the prior agriculture census, from which a list of 

agriculture-related names and addresses was constructed. 

The mailout/mailback enumeration procedure was not used 

in taking the agriculture census in Puerto Rico, Guam, the 

Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands_ A discussion 

of the direct enumeration methods used appears in the reports 

for these outlying areas. 

Mail List 

The mail list for the 1978 census was comprised of all 

individuals, businesses, and organizations that could be readily 

identified as being associated with agriculture. The I ist was 

assembled from the records of the 1974 census and administrative records of various government agencies, primarily the 

Internal Revenue Service and the U.S_ Department of Agriculture. The administrative lists used for 1978 were more 

accurate and extensive than those used for the 1974 and 1969 

censuses. For 197ft most administrative lists were used in their 

entirety; whereas, for 1974 and 1969 some lists were sampled so 

that only selected records were included in the census mailing 

list. 

Lists of large or specialized operations, such as nurseries, 

broiler growers, fish farms, and I ivestock range and feedlot 

operations, which might not be identified in other administrative records, were obtained from State and Federal agencies, 

trade associations, and similar organizations_ Lists of multiestablishment companies having one or more establishments (or 

locations) producing agricultural products or providing agricultural services were obtained from the 1974 census and 

updated using results of the 1976 and 1977 Company Organization Surveys conducted by the Economic Surveys Division of 

the Census Bureau. 

A preliminary census mail list was assembled using names and 

addresses from the 1974 census and administrative source lists 

available early in 1978. Those records identified as most likely 

not to be farms, since the name appeared on only one source list 

or on selected combinations of list sources which had yielded a 

low percentage of farm operators for the 1974 census, were 

then selected for inclusion in the 1978 Farm and Ranch 

Identification Survey. Slightly over 4 million of the short 

identification forms were mailed in May of 1978 to identify 

persons who were not active farm operators, to identify tenant 

and successor operators who were not on administrative source 

lists, and to update the name, address, and size information for 

the identified active farm operators. Approximately 1_9 million 

survey returns were classified as out-of-scope (nonfarms), and an 

additional 400,000 reports were returned by the Postal Service 

as being undeliverable, resulting in over 2.3 million names and 

addresses being deleted from the census mail list as a result of 

the 1978 Farm and Ranch Identification Survey. The final 

census mail list containing 4,241,000 names and addresses was 

developed using results of the 1978 Farm and Ranch Identification Survey, names and addresses from the unduplicated 

pre I iminary list that were retained without precensus verification, and new or updated source lists acquired after the 

prel iminary unduplication. 

The preliminary and final census mail lists were both 

constructed by merging and unduplicating the names and 
A-2 APPENDIX A-Continued 

addresses from the various source I ists on the basis of Employer 

Identification numbers, Social Security numbers, and names and 

addresses. To facilitate processing, each name on the administrative source lists was assigned a geographic code indicating the 

State and county location of the operation and a size code 

indicating an estimated value of sales. Most duplicates were 

identified and resolv.etl during computer processing; an additional group of possible duplicates identified during computer 

processing was resolved clerically. Other duplicate names not 

identified prior to mail ing were either reported by respondents 

or located during office processing. 

Direct Enumeration Area Sample 

When the evaluation survey conducted for the 1974 census 

confirmed the results of the evaluation survey for 1969 (i.e., an 

unacceptable number of midsize and a larger number of smaller 

farms were not included in the mail list), the decision was made 

to incorporate into the 1978 data collection procedures a direct 

enumeration area sample to provide State level estimates of the 

number and statistical characteristics of farms found not to be 

included in the mail list. The effect of this combination mail 

I ist-direct enumeration sample approach has been to drastically 

reduce the number and effect of missed farms in State totals. 

The direct enumeration sample consisted of approximately 

6,400 segments in "rural" areas (areas outside places with 2,500 

or more population in 1970) in all States, except Alaska and 

Hawaii. The segments were created and selected using enumeration district maps and data from the 1970 Census of Population 

and Housing. In October and November 1978, enumerators 

visited each household in these segments to determine if 

anyone in the household was associated with an agricultural 

operation. A 78-A 1 (A) report form was completed for each 

person with agricultural operations. This form was similar to the 

78-A 1 (S) sample form but collected additional information on 

alternate names and addresses and other individuals associated 

with the operation for use in matching these cases to the census 

mail file. The front page of the 78-A 1 (A) report form is reproduced in appendix C. During the enumeration, each operator 

received an orange-colored sticker and was instructed that if 

he/she received a census form in the mail, the form should not 

be filled but returned with the sticker attached indicating that 

a report had already been completed. 

During office processing, a concentrated effort was made to 

match the direct enumeration sample returns to names and 

addresses on the census mail I ist using the sticker returns, 

microfilm search of the mail file for all associated names, 

telephone calls to all cases that could be reached by phone, and 

any other available information. Direct enumeration sample 

returns not matched to the census mail list after this extensive 

research comprise the sample representing farms in the State not 

on the census mail list. Data from these unmatched direct 

enumeration sample returns were used to provide estimates at the 

State level for farms not on the census mail list. For each State, 

these data have been tabulated and published as a "pseudo" 

county and are an integral part of the State totals. The direct 

enumeration sample estimates have not been included in 

individual county totals. 

Report Forms 

The Census Bureau recognizes the need to minimize both 

respondent burden and census cost by limiting the number of 

items for which data are requested to those most needed by 

users as the basis for current understanding and future planning. 

I n addition to limiting data items, the most recent eight 

censuses of agriculture have also used sampling techniques to 

further mini mize reporting burden and census cost. For 1945, 

additional items were included in the enumeration of designated 

geographic segments, but were omitted from the report forms 

used for all other areas. For the 1950, 1954, 1959, and 1964 

censuses, si milar goals were met by instructing the enumerators 

to determine whether to ask or omit the items in designated 

sections of the report forms. For the 1969, 1974, and 1978 

mailout/mailback censuses, two report forms were used again 

with the result of minimizing the reporting burden, particularly 

for smaller farms. 

For 1978, the two report forms were a 5-page report form 

(78-A 1(S)) containing all the items asked in the census, and a 

4-page form (78-A 1 (N)) omitting the sample items (sections 22 

through 27). Form 78-A 1(N) and the 78-A 1 (S) sample 

items are reproduced in appendix D. In all States except 

Alaska and Hawaii, the sample form (A1(S)) was mailed to all 

certainty addresses (large farms) and to 20 percent of the 

noncertainty addresses; the nonsample form (Al (N)) was mailed 

to the remaining noncertainty addresses. The sample form was 

mailed to all Alaska addresses. For Hawaii, a modified version of 

the sample form was used for all farms. The modifications were 

made principally in the crops section in order to cover the 

special ized agriculture on the islands. The Statistical Adjustments 

section of this appendix defines certainty farms and includes a 

discussion of the criteria used to determine whether the sample 

or nonsample form was to be mailed to noncertainty addresses.

The report forms were distributed by the U.S. Postal Service 

during the last week of December 1978 to all individuals, 

businesses, and organizations on the mail list. Approximately 

4,241,000 forms were included in the initial mailing (3,140,000 

nonsample forms and 1,101,000 sample forms). 

From February through August 1979, additional initial 

mailings were sent primarily to new tenants and successors 

identified during report form processing. Thus, the total mailing 

list for the 1978 Census of Agriculture was 4,430,000. 

An information sheet containing detailed instructions for 

completing the form was included with each report form (see 

appendix D). Additional special instructions were included with 

report forms sent to identifiable producers of poultry under 

contract, bees and honey, laboratory animals, feedlot operations, and nursery and greenhouse products. 

In an effort to provide additional help in completing reports, 

approximately 60,000 copies of a Farm Census Guide booklet 

were sent to county agricultural agencies and related institutions 

or businesses to whom farmers might turn for help. Included 

were rural banks, accountants, vocational agriculture instructors, and the following U.S. Department of Agriculture county 

offices: Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, 
APPENDIX A-Continued A-3 

Farmers Home Administration, and Agricultural Extension 

Service. This guide contained descriptions and definitions for 

various 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 if assistance was requested. In addition, the telephone 

number for the Jeffersonville, Ind. processing office was provided in the original mailing in case the respondent requested 

assistance or had additional questions which were not covered 

in the instructions. 

Followup Procedures 

The data collection effort included seven followup letters to 

nonrespondents, three of which were accompanied by a report 

form. To evenly distribute the workloads in mailing, receipts, 

and processing, the mail list was divided into three groups for 

followup purposes. In late January, the first followup letter was 

sent to all nonrespondents reminding them of the February 15 

due date. The other reminders followed on a flow basis at 3- to 

4-week intervals starting in late February and continuing into 

July. 

In low response areas, additional efforts were made. State 

Commissioners of Agriculture were asked to issue supporting 

statements urging farmers to complete and return their reports. 

In early April 1979, nonrespondents in about 300 counties with 

the lowest response rates were mailed an additional letter using 

simpler language in large print suggesting that if they needed 

help in completing their report, they could call collect to the 

Jeffersonville, I nd. processing office. 

From March to November 1979, telephone calls were made 

to nonrespondents who were large (for most States, those with 

expected sales of $80,000 or more) or were located in about 

60 counties with low response. Data for large farms were obtained by telephone from secondary sources if the addressee 

could not be contacted or refused to provide information. Most 

of the nonresponse calls were made by the staff of the Jeffersonville, Ind. processing office. However, calls to the larger and 

more complex operations were made by the Agriculture Division 

staff. Upon completion of data collection, all counties had 

response rates exceeding 75 percent of the final mail list including additional addresses. The overall response rate for the 

50 United States was 88 percent for all addresses and nearly 

95 percent for addresses with a known history of farm operations. A significant proportion of the nonresponse cases was 

found not to have qualifying agricultural operations for 1978. 

For a description of the adjustment for nonresponse, see Statistical Adjustments. 

DATA PROCESSING 

All report forms were subjected to a clerical screening review, 

during which they were corrected to make them acceptable for 

keying onto magnetic tape. Farm operators completing a 

nonsample form who reported sales or acres above the certainty 

level were sent correspondence requesting the additional sample 

data. Reports for special list cases identified on the mail list as 

producing specific products such as broilers or cattle were 

checked to insure that the special item had been reported. 

Problem reports requiring special review or additional handling 

were referred to technical assistants, or if necessary, to 

statisticians for resolution. Report forms with sales or acreage 

above levels listed as State "must" were subjected to a more 

stringent precomputer review, including completeness checks for 

key basic data items. Reports from multiunit operations and 

institutional and government-<Jperated farms were reviewed and 

edited by statisticans. All farms with expected or reported sales 

of $1,000,000 or more or 30,000 acres or more, all Alaska and 

Hawaii reports, selected multiunit operations, and other selected 

problem reports were reviewed by statisticians in the Agriculture Division. Omissions, inconsistencies, and other problems 

that could not be resolved by reference to other information on 

the report were resolved by contacting the respondents by 

telephone or correspondence. 

All successors and the more significant tenant names and 

addresses reported in the census were researched on microfil m 

of the census mail ~ile. Report forms were mailed to addresses 

not located on the mail file. Research was also conducted on 

reports from selected respondents claiming that they had 

previously completed a census form to eliminate possible 

dupl ication. 

Data for each report form were subjected to a detailed 

item-by-item computer edit. The edit included comprehensive 

checks for consistency and reasonableness, corrected data found 

to be in error or inconsistent, supplied missing data based on 

similar size farms within the same county, and assigned farm 

classification codes which were necessary for tabulating the 

data. Entries of large magnitude and significant computergenerated changes to the data were manually verified. Obvious 

errors such as reports of cotton or citrus in the Northern States 

were also identified and corrected. 

Many of the acceptability limits on data were necessarily 

wide making it impossible to identify and correct all errors or to 

always supply precise estimates for all the incompleteness in the 

reports. These factors and others may affect the reliability of 

data for some minor items, but they should not have a 

significant effect on major data items in any county. 

I n the computer edit, those farms with sales or acreage 

exceeding State "must" levels were tested for historical consistency. Key items such as acreage, number of livestock sold, 

crops, and sales were compared for significant changes between 

1974 and 1978. Problems in historical consistency were resolved 

usually by telephone. 

In order to reduce duplicate reporting because of more than 

one completed report being received for the same operation 

under different names, computer listings of reports with similar 

operator names and size of operation were produced and 

duplicate reports were deleted prior to tabulations. 

After each report was screened, computer edited, and had all 

identified problems corrected, each data item on the report was 

added into the total for that item for the county. The result was 

a computer tabulation matrix for each county containing the 

sum of individual entries for each data item. This matrix 

enabled the easy and precise construction of the published 

tables. 

Prior to publication of preliminary reports and volume 1 

reports, tabulated totals were reviewed by statisticians to 
A-4 APPENDI X A-Continued 

identify remaining inconsistencies and potential coverage 

problems. Comparisons were made with historical census trends 

as well as current year State level estimates publ ished by the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture and other agencies as part of the 

coverage review. Selected report forms were reviewed and 

problem entries were either verified as being correct or the data 

were corrected. 

COMPARABILITY OF DATA 

Significant changes were made to the data collection procedures to improve the coverage of the 1978 census, including 

a more complete mail list and the use of a direct enumeration 

area sample to supplement the mail list. The effect of these 

improvements has been to increase the 1978 State farm counts 

above what they would have been using previous methods. 

The 1978 State farm counts, consisting of totals from the 

mail list and the direct enumeration area sample, include farms 

that would have been missed in the 1974 and 1969 censuses. 

The 1978 county farm counts do not include any totals 

from the direct enumeration sample. However, for some 

counties, the counts may have increased substantially because 

of the improved coverage of small farms in the 1978 mail list. 

County level data on acreages and inventories are generally 

comparable. 

Estimates of the net proportion of farms missed in the 1974 

census varied widely by State, from a low of 0.7 percent in 

Nebraska to ahigh of 33.0 percent in West Virginia. Appendix C 

shows adjusted farm counts by State. Because missed farms 

were typically small, the percent missed was generally higher in 

States having a relatively large proportion of small farms and 

urbanized areas having a sizable number of part·time farms. The 

proportion of the total farms in ea.ch State represented by the 

direct enumeration sample in 1978 can be expected to follow a 

pattern similar to that for missed farms in 1974. 

Since most of the farms identified in the direct enumeration 

sample were small, these farms have a much greater effect on 

the State counts of farms and f~rms reporting than on measures 

of agricultural production such as land in farms, sales of 

agricultural products, acres and production of crops, and 

inventory and sales of I ivestock and poultry. 

Changes in the farm definition also affect the comparability 

of data. In general, data for 1978 and 1974 would be directly 

comparable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses only for 

farms with sales of $2,500 or more because the data for these 

farms are not affected by changes in the farm definition. A 

difference in timing and the change from personal interview to 

mail enumeration affect comparability with data from censuses 

prior to 1969. The effect of the 1974 definition change for 

selected State and county totals is shown in appendix B. 

Dollar figures shown for expenses and agricultural product 

sales have not been adjusted for changes in price levels between 

census years. Crop and livestock production and sales and 

expense data are for the calendar year 1978, except for a few 

crops (such as citrus) for which the production year overlaps the 

calendar year. Inventories of livestock, poultry, and other 

specified items are as of December 31, 1978. The reporting 

period and inventory date are the same as for the 1974 and 

1969 censuses. 

Censuses prior to 1969 were taken by enumerators, each 

assigned to a specific geographic area. Field work for the 1959 

and 1964 censuses was completed mainly in October, November, and December of the reference year. Livestock and poultry 

inventories for these two censuses were as of the time of 

enumeration. Other variations in the time of enumeration 

occurred prior to 1959. 

MAJOR CHANGES IN DATA COLLECTED 

Unusually strong adverse reaction to the length and content 

of the 1974 census report form stimulated an intensive review 

and rejustification of all data inquiries accepted for collection 

on the 1978 census report form. Data users were requested to 

provide the Bureau with their data requirements, including the 

level of publication needed-county, State, or national. Each 

data item requested was reviewed to determine if it was needed 

at the county level and if so, whether on a complete or sample 

basis. Some data items needed only at the State or regional level 

were relegated to one or another of th.e follow-on surveys 

scheduled to be conducted in 1980 tor calendar year 1979. By 

eliminating many items included on the 1974 report form, 

redesigning the form to accommodate two columns of items per 

page, and converting many more items to write-in status, 

especially in the crops sections, the report form was reduced 

from a 20-page booklet to a 4-page form for most farms and a 

5-page form for certainty and sample farms. Data items on the 

1974 report form which were eliminated on the 1978 report 

form were: 

Type of rental arrangement 

Sales of forest products 

Commercial fertilizer used for specific crops 

I rrigation methods and quantity of water used 

Drainage 

Grain storage facilities 

Futures markets 

Contracts 

Injuries and illnesses 

Other production expenses 

Income and expenses from farm-related sources 

Farm credit 

Family income from off-farm sources 

Much of the detailed data collected lA 1'974 for costs of 

materials for individual types of agricultural chemicals and for 

quantities and costs of several feed categories including mughages purchased were deleted from the report form .. In addition, 

fTlany of the redundant totals used on the 1974 report form f.or 

cross checking data, especially in the production expenses and 

value of agricultural products sold sections, were eliminated. 

The following high priority new data items were added to the 

1978 report form: 

Set-aside acres in Federal Farm Program 

Government Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loans for 

grain and cotton 

Direct sales to consumers 

Foreign ownership of farmland 

Greater detail on expenses for energy 
APPEN DI X A-Continued A-5 

FOLLOW-ON SURVEYS AND THE CENSUS OF 

HORTICULTURAL SPECIALTIES 

Integral to each census of agriculture program are the 

follow-<>n surveys conducted after the main census. The purpose 

of these specialized surveys is to collect additional, much 

needed agriculture-related information from highly specialized 

operations or from only a sample of farms without burdening all 

farm operators. Thus, allowing the use of a shorter report form 

for the general census. The follow-on surveys are limited to high 

priority data items that yield United States, regional, or State 

level estimates, which in and of themselves or in association 

with general census data, are used as the basis for current 

decisionmaking and future planning. 

Data from ~he Farm Finance, the Farm and Ranch Irrigation, 

and the Farm Energy Surveys, conducted in 1980 covering 

calendar year 1979, are published in Volume 5, Special Reports, 

of the 1978 Census of Agriculture. 

The Farm Finance Survey provides detailed farm financial 

data, including debts, expenses, taxes, credits, assets, and farm 

and off-farm incomes for farm operators. Many of these items as 

well as detailed data concerning land ownership and landlord 

characteristics are also being collected from the landlords of the 

farms involved in the survey. 

The Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey provides high priority 

data on water use by irrigated farms. Included in the data are: 

acreage irrigated, yields for irrigated and nonirrigated crops, 

quantity of water used, methods of distribution, types of 

pumps, and number of wells. 

The Farm Energy Survey provides detailed data on energy 

purchased by type of energy source, storage capacity, and 

selected kinds of energy-consuming machinery and equipment. 

The 1979 Census of Horticultural Specialties covers the 

operations of producers of nursery and greenhouse products, 

mushrooms, and sod in much greater detail than the main 

census of agriculture. This census has been conducted in 1890, 

1930, 1950, and every 10 years since, in association with the 

census of agriculture. Data for this census are published in 

Volume 5, Special Reports. 

DISCLOSURES 

In many tables, data are suppressed and a (D) is used instead 

of a number. To ensure the confidentiality of information on a 

characteristic of an individual farm, it is necessary to suppress 

data when the value of an item for one or two farms can be 

definitely or approximately determined by mathematical 

manipulations. 

Suppressions of data made within frequency distributions are 

accomplished in a way that will maintain maximum integrity of 

the frequency groups as suppressions are made whenever 

possible in adjacent frequency classes. This allows the user, by 

subtraction from the total, to have a farm count and total 

quantity reported for the combined suppressed frequencies. 

Although the published frequency data are not complete, the 

truncated frequency distribution is available for analysis purposes. 

1974 DATA CORRECTIONS 

Some 1974 data have been revised since the 1974 volume I 

publications were released. The major revisions were for: 

Madera County, California-number of heavy breed turkeys 

sold and related data. 

Maricopa County, Arizona-acreage of improved pecans and 

related data. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

Definitions and explanations of terms in this section provide 

more detailed descriptions for selected items and terms than are 

available on the report form or in the tables. Differences in 

definitions between censuses, data deficiencies, and special 

processing performed for individual or related data items are 

also explained. For an exact wording of the questions on the 

sample and nonsample forms used in 1978 for the conterminous 

United States, and the information sheet which accompanied 

these forms, see appendix D. 

For all tables, historical data are shown whenever individual 

items are comparable, otherwise an (NA) is used. Some 

historical data may differ slightly from totals included in prior 

census publications due to rounding of fractions and dollar 

values. 

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 operation. 

Large acreages of woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural purposes were deleted from individual reports during 

the processing operations. 

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. 

Except for open range and grazing land used under government 

permits, all grazing land was included as "land in farms" 

provided it was part of a farm or ranch. Grazing land operated 

by grazing associations was to be reported by the person chiefly 

responsible for conducting the business of the association. All 

land in Indian reservations used for growing crops or grazing 

livestock was to be included as land in farms. Land in Indian 

reservations not reported by individual Indians or non·lndians 

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. 
A-6 APPENDIX A-Continued 

land area-The approximate total land area of counties and 

States shown for 1978 represents the land area as determined by 

records and calculations updated as of January 1, 1979. These 

data are updated periodically; however, the acreage shown for 

1978 are essentially the same as in 1974. Any differences 

between the land area in 1978 and 1974 are due to annexations, 

disincorporations, and other changes affecting county boundaries_ 

Land in two or more counties-With few exceptions, the land in 

each farm was tabul~ted as being in the operator's principal 

county. The principal county was defined as the one where the 

largest value of agricultural products were raised or produced_ It 

was usually the county containing all or the largest proportion 

of the land in the farm_ For a limited number of 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 1974 census and prior special surveys 

as having more than one separately reportable farm unit_ Other 

reports received showing land in more than one county were 

separated into two or more reports if the data would significantly affect the county totals. These reports were assigned to 

the appropriate counties during office processing. 

Value of land and buildings-Farm operators receiving the 

sample form 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 

respondent's estimate of what the land and buildings would sell 

for under current market conditions. For 1978, this information 

is estimated from the replies of a sample of farms; whereas for 

1974, all farm operators were asked to provide these data. If the 

value of land and buildings was not reported, it was estimated 

during processing by using the average value of land and 

buildings from a similar farm in the same geographic area. 

Other land-This category includes land in house lots, barn lots, 

ponds, roads, wasteland, etc. The definition of "other land" is 

the same in 1978 and 1974 only for farms with sales of $2,500 

or more. In 1974, for farms with sales of less than $2,500, 

"other land" included pastureland and rangeland other than 

cropland and woodland pasture in addition to land in house 

lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, and wasteland. 

land set aside in the Federal Farm Program-The 1978 report 

form included a new inquiry on the number of acres set aside in 

1978 under the provisions of the Federal Farm Program. These 

data are for acres of cropland taken out of production by 

growers of wheat, corn, grain sorghums, and barley, and instead 

planted in cover crops, soil-improvement grasses, etc. No 

information was obtained as to which grains would have been 

grown on the acres set aside. 

Foreign ownership of agricultural land-An inquiry measuring 

the impact of foreign ownership of agricultural land was added 

to the 1978 report forms. All farm operators were asked to 

report the number of acres owned by individuals who are not 

U.S. citizens; or owned by foreign-held corporations, unincorporated associations, or foreign governments. 

In some cases, operators using land owned by others may not 

know the beneficiary owner of the land or, if the owner is 

known, they may not know the citizenship of the landlord. 

Therefore, a "don't know" category was included on the report 

form. Corporations with 50 percent or more of the stock held 

by foreign investors were considered foreign owned. Any land 

owned and operated by such corporations was included as land 

held under foreign ownership. 

County summary table 36 provides operators response to the 

foreign ownership inquiry. Counts are provided for those 

responding "yes", "no", "don't know", and "no response". No 

attempt was made to contact nonrespondents. 

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, 

marketing, etc. The operator may be the owner, a member of 

the owner's household, a salaried manager, a tenant, a renter, or 

a sharecropper. If he/she rents land to others or has land worked 

on shares by others, he/she is considered the operator only of 

the land which he/she retains for his/her own operation. For 

partnerships, only one partner is counted as an operator. If 

there is no clear-cut partner in charge, then the senior or oldest 

active partner is considered to be the operator. For census 

purposes, the number of operators is the same as the number of 

farms. I n 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 operations. 

Operator characteristics-Data on characteristics such as residence, race, Spanish origin, age, sex, principal occupation, and 

off-farm work were collected from all operators in 1978. In the 

1974 census, operator characteristics were collected only for all 

farms with sales of less than $2,500 and for farms with sales of 

$2,500 or more operated by individuals (sole proprietorships) 

and partnerships. If operator characteristics of race, age, sex, 

and principal occupation were not reported for 1978, they were 

derived based on reports with similar acreage size, tenure, and 

sales size. No adjustments were made for nonresponse to 

residence, Spanish origin, and off-farm work. 

Extensive verification and recontacting were done for 

positive responses to Spanish origin, especially in Southern 

States. It was found that a number of these responses were in 

error, apparently the word American in "Mexican American" 

was mistaken as American origin. 

Write-in entries of "other" race were clerically reviewed and 

recoded where necessary; entries without an accompanying 

write-in description were not verified by recontacting the 

respondent. Based on demographic classifications, "other" race 

is limited to native non-Spanish populations of Central and 

South American countries. 

I n the presentation of data on race of operator, the 

classification "Black and other races" includes Blacks, American 

Indians, Asian or Pacific Islanders, and any other separate racial 

group excluding White. For the 1978 census, operators of 
APPENDI X A-Continued A-7 

Spanish origin are tabulated by reported race. Prior censuses 

included Spanish origin as 'White" whenever separate data for 

the White race were shown. 

The 1978 Census of Agriculture is the first census to collect 

data on the sex of the operator. For farm operations where both 

husband and wife participated, the response was determined by 

the parties involved. 

Selected production expenses-Data on selected production 

expenses incurred in 1978 were requested from farm operators 

reporting on the sample form. Only selected production 

expenses were requested; thus, the expense data cannot be used 

in combination with gross sales to calculate net farm income. 

The 1974 census attempted to gather selected expenses plus a 

category "all other production expenses" to arrive at total 

expenses. This category was to include items such as depreciation, taxes, interest, rent, and insurance for the farm business. 

Because of the burden to respondents and inaccuracy in 

reporting, the "all other production expenses" inquiry was not 

included on the 1978 report form. The 1979 Farm Finance 

Survey provides estimates on net farm income. 

For 1978, as with earlier censuses, expense data in some 

cases were not fully reported especially by operations producing 

crops, livestock, or poultry on a contract basis. Many such 

operators were unable or unwilling to estimate the value of 

production inputs furnished by the contractor. Estimates were 

made for individual expense items based on reported crop and 

livestock information, or on averages or ratios of expense items 

reported by similar farms in the same geographic area. 

Commercial fertilizer-The expense for commercial fertilizer 

is the amount spent on fertilizer during 1978, excluding the 

cost of application. Some fertilizer purchased in 1978 may 

not have been applied during the year. If the fertilizer was 

applied by someone other than the operator, the cost of 

application is included as an expense for customwork, 

machine hire, and rental of machinery and equipment. Some 

operators may have included the cost of application with the 

amount spent on fertilizer. 

Other agricultural chemicals, including lime-Expenses include the cost of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, other 

pesticides, lime, etc., excluding costs of application. Data 

exclude commercial fertilizer purchased. 

Customwork, machine hire, and rental of machinery and 

equipment-This expense represents 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 

labor used on rented or hired machinery is included as a 

hired farm and ranch labor expense. 

Energy and petroleum products-More extensive data on energy 

usage for the farm business were collected in the 1978 census 

than in prior censuses. Data were collected on expenses, gallons 

purchased, and storage capacity for gasoline; diesel fuel; LP gas, 

butane, and propane; and fuel oil. In addition, data on expenses 

for natural gas; kerosene, motor oil, and grease; electricity; and 

all other energy sources were collected. Data for 1974 include 

only storage capacity and expenses for gasoline; diesel; LP gas, 

butane, and propane; and a combined total expense for motor 

oil, grease, piped gas, kerosene, and fuel oil. The 1978 energy 

data were collected from a sample of farms. Additional data on 

energy usage and storage capacity are available from the 1979 

Farm Energy Survey. 

Caution should be used in evaluating storage capacity. Farms 

not reporting storage capacity were not identifiable from farms 

with no storage capacity; therefore, the totals understate the 

actual storage capacity available. 

Value of agricultural products sold-This item represents the 

gross market value before taxes and production expenses of all 

agricultural products sold or removed from the place in 1978 

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, and others associated with the operation. 

The value of agricultural products sold represents the sum of 

all crops including nursery products sold, and livestock and 

poultry and their products sold. It does not include income 

from farm-related sources such as cust0mwork or agricultural 

services, or income from nonfarm sources. For 1974 and 1969, 

the value of agricultural products sold included sales of forest 

products from farms and ranches. 

The value of crops sold in 1978 does not necessarily 

represent the sales from crops harvested in 1978. Data include 

sales from crops produced in earlier years and exclude some 

crops produced in 1978, but held in storage and not sold in 

1978. For crops sold throug, a co-op which made payments in 

several installments, only the total value received in 1978 was to 

be reported. 

The value of agricultural products sold was collected from all 

operators. Where the operator failed to report a value of sales, 

estimates were made based on the amount of crops harvested or 

the number of livestock or poultry sold. Extensive estimation 

was required for operators growing crops or livestock under 

contract. 

caution should be applied when comparing sales in 1978 with 

sales reported in earlier censuses due to the extreme fluctuations 

in per-unit prices between census years. 

Income from machine work, customwork, and other agricultural 

services-This category consists of gross income received during 

1978 by farm operators for providing machine work, customwork, and other agricultural services for others such as plowing, 

planting, harvesting, etc. Entries were deleted when duplicate 

information was reported in the 1978 Census of Agricultural 

Services, or when entries were large enough to consider the 

agricultural services activity separate from the farm or ranch. 

The agricultural services part of a farming operation was 

generally considered a separate operation when income from 

agricultural services was greater than $500,000, or when it was 

$10,000 or more and greater than the value of agricultural 

. products sold. Data for establishments primarily engaged in 

agricultural services are published separately in volume 3. 
A-8 APPENDI X A-Continued 

Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals for 

human consumption-This item represents the value of agricultural products produced and sold directly to individuals for 

human consumption from roadside stands, farmers' markets, 

pick-your-own sites, etc. By definition, it excludes nonedible 

products such as nursery products, cut flowers, wool, grains, 

etc. Sales of agricultural products by vertically integrated 

operations through their own processing and marketing operations were excluded where identified. 

Fertilizer and lime-Detailed inquiries on acreage fertilized and 

tonnage of fertilizer applied by crop, which were included on 

the 1974 census form, were not collected in 1978. Data 

collected for 1978 are limited to total acres of cropland 

fertilized excluding cropland used only for pasture, and total 

acres of pastureland and rangeland fertilized. Data on lime use 

were requested in both 1978 and 1974. Land fertilized and 

limed data were collected from a sample of farms in 1978. Total 

acres of cropland fertilized in 1974 were obtained by adding the 

acres of individual crops fertilized and, therefore, may include 

duplication where two or more crops using the same acreage 

were each fertilized during the year. 

Irrigation-The 1978 report forms included inquiries on acres 

irrigated for specific crops and total acres irrigated for harvested 

cropland, pastureland or rangeland, and any other land. Data 

on methods of irrigation and estimated quantity of irrigation 

water used by farms and ranches collected in the 1974 and 1969 

censuses are available from the 1979 Farm and Ranch Irrigation 

Survey and are included in Volume 5, Special Reports. 

Irrigation data collected on the 1978 report form are summarized in more detail in volume 2, Part 9, Irrigation on Farms 

and in Volume 4, Irrigation, which also includes data from 

off-farm water suppliers covered in the 1978 Census of 

Irrigation Organizations. 

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 the State 

average price. 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 Economics, 

Statistics, and Cooperatives Service of the U.S. Department of 

Agriculture. Prices applied to other livestock and poultry were 

census·derived averages based primarily on reported value of 

sales in the 1978 Census of Agriculture. The 1974 and 1969 

data were developed in a similar manner. 

Poultry hatched-The 1978 data include all poultry hatched 

during the year that were placed or sold; whereas for 1974, data 

include only poultry sold. For example, chickens hatched and 

raised for layer replacement on the same farm are included in 

1978 data for poultry hatched, but excluded from 1974 totals. 

The value of hatchery sales is included in the category "Poultry 

and Poultry products." 

Fish and other aquaculture products-The raising of fish and 

other aquaculture products in captivity was included as agricultural production by the 1972 Standard Industrial Classification, and data for such operations were included in the 

agriculture census for the first time in 1974. The value of fish 

and other aquaculture products sold is included in the category 

"Other livestock and livestock products." Production in salt 

water was considered not to be in captivity and was excluded. 

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 for pollination of crops). The 

completeness and accuracy of these data are affected by the fact 

that some bee operations may not have been on the mail list and 

some operators on the mail list may not have considered 

beekeeping to be an agricultural operation, and therefore did 

not report. 

Citrus enumeration-For the 1978 census, reports for selected 

citrus caretakers in Arizona, Florida, and Texas were obtained 

by direct enumeration. 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 report 

form. A citrus caretaker is an organization or person caring for 

or managing citrus groves for others. 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 number of acres of citrus. The 

names on the lists were matched to completed grove owners' 

reports to eliminate duplication. The caretaker was' also 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 again. In the 1978 census, 8 caretakers in Arizona 

reported 250 grove owners having 12,000 acres of citrus; the 

100 caretakers in Florida reported 6,600 grove owners having 

240,000 acres of citrus; and 27 caretakers in Texas reported 

1,500 grove owners having 30,000 acres of citrus. 

More detailed information by State and county are included 

in volume 2, part 6. 

Crop year or season covered-Acres and quantity harvested are 

for the calendar year 1978 except for citrus fruits, avocados, 

and olives; vegetables in Florida; sugarcane in F.lorida and Texas; 

and pineapples and coffee in Hawaii. 

Citrus fruits-The data relate to the crops harvested from the 

bloom of 1977 for the 1977-78 marketing season. 

Avocados-The data for Califomia relate to the quantity 

harvested from November 1, 1977 through November 30, 

1978; the data for Florida relate to the quantity harvested or 

to be harvested from April 1978 through March 1979. 

Olives-The data relate to the quantity harvested from the 

bloom of 1977 for the October 1977 to March 1978 harvest 

season. 

Vegetables-The data for Florida relate to the crop harvested 

for the September 1, 1977 through August 31, 1978, harvest' 

season. 
APPENDIX A-Continued A-9 

Sugarcane-The data for Florida and Texas relate to the 

reported cuttings from November 1977 through April 1978. 

Pineapples and coffee-The data for Hawaii for pineapples 

relate to quantity harvested ·for the year ending May 31, 

1978, and coffee for the 1977·78 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 produots; in Hawaii, taro, ginger root, 

and lotus root. Totals for crops reported in tenths 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. The 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 appl.icable crop. For interplanted crops or "skip-row" 

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

field occupied by each cmp. 

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 itemscropland used only for pasture or grazing, cropland used for 

cover crops, cropland on which all crops failed, cropland in 

cultivated summer fallow, or cropland idle. 

for crops grown purposely for grazing, quantity harvested 

was not request€d. Acres for these crops were to be reported as 

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

pasture or grazing." This procedure applies to the following 

crops: 

Corn cut for dry fodder, hogged or grazed 

Cowpeas hogged or grazed or cut for silage 

Sorghums hogged or grazed 

Soybeans hogged or grazed or cut for silage 

Ouantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as 

vegetables, nursery and greenhouse products, and soybeans 

plowed under. 

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 or for the individual 

crop acreages. 

Data for hay represent all hay crops, including grass silage 

and hay crops cut and fed green. 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. 

Crop units of measure-For some crops, the operator could 

report quantity harvested in a unit of measure currently in use 

in the area. These crops were: Corn for grain or seed, in bushels 

shelled or hundredweight shelled; sorghums for grain or seed, in 

bushels or pounds; rice in 100-lb. bags, bushels, or 162-lb. 

barrels. Corn for grain and sorghums for grain are published in 

bushels and rice in 100-lb. bags. 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 are published in pounds. 

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

the major crops for the United States were prelisted (see 

sections 2 and 3 of the report form). For the other crops, the 

respondent was requested to look at a I ist of crops in each 

section and write in the crop name and its code (see sections 4, 

5, 6, 7, and 8 of the report form). 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. Crops not coded by the 

respondent were coded during processing before keying. Writein 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 of the 

report, 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 unusual crops 

for the area were examined to minimize the possibility that they 

were in error. 

Comparability of crop data-For the 1974 and 1969 censuses 

data for all crops are available for farms with sales of $2,5000; 

more while only data for the major crops-corn, sorghums, 

soybeans, peanuts, wheat, cotton, tobacco, potatoes, hay, 

vegetables, land in orchards, and berries are available for all 

farms. For 1978, data for all crops are available for farms with 

sales of $2,500 or more and for all farms. 

For a number of commodities, less detailed data were 

collected in 1978 than in 1974. In these instances, 1974 data 

have been combined to provide comparable figures wherever 

possible. 

The "acres of vegetables harvested" in 1978 and 1969 was 

the summation of the acres of individual vegetables harvested 
A-10 APPENDI X A-Continued 

but in 1974 it was the total land used for vegetable crops. 

For "land used for vegetable crops," the acres were to be 

reported only once even though two or more harvests of a 

vegetable or more than one vegetable were harvested from the 

same acres. 

The "other crops" in the tables are not comparable from 

census to census as crops are added and deleted from the report 

form each census. 

Value of crop production-This item represents the estimated 

value of all crops harvested during the 1978 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 u nits 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 in most part from publications 

of the Economic, Statistics, and Cooperative Service, U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA). When USDA estimates 

were not available, Bureau of the Census statisticians made 

estimates using available sources such as data from adjacent 

States, respondents, report forms, county extension agents, and 

other persons knowledgeable about specific crops. 

"See Text" References 

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

explained or defined in this section. Also, additional definitions 

and explanations for some items are provided. 

Data for 1978 are based on a sample of farms-Sections 22 

th rough 27 of the census report form 78-A 1(Sl, wh ich include 

inqUiries on commercial fertilizer and lime, chemicals, 

machinery and equipment, expenses for energy and petroleum 

products, selected production expenses, and value of land and 

buildings, were requested of all certainty (large) farms and 

approximately 20 percent ·of all other farms. As these data are" 

subject to sampling error, estimates of the sampling reliability of 

county totals for selected items are shown in table D. 

Farms operated by Black and other races-For 1974 and 1978, 

"other races" includes American Indians, Asian and Pacific 

Islanders, and all other racial groups other than White. The 1969 

data are limited to farms operated by Blacks. Additional 

information on race of operator is provided under "operator 

characteristics" . 

All other races-This category is limited to native non-Spanish 

populations of Central and South American countries. 

1974 data apply only to individual or family operations (sole 

proprietorships) and partnerships-For 1974, farm operator 

characteristics were not collected from corporations, cooperatives, prison farms, grazing associations, and Indian 

reservations. For 1978, characteristics and occupation of the 

senior partner or person in charge were collected from all farms, 

regardless of the type of organization. 

Other type of organization-This category includes cooperatives, 

estates or trusts, prison farms, grazing associations, and Indian 

reservations. 

Market value of agricultural products sold-This item represents 

the gross market value, before taxes and expenses, of all 

agricultural products sold in the census year including livestock 

and poultry and their products, and crops including nursery 

products and hay. The data include landlords' and contractors' 

shares. The 1974 and 1969 data include sales of forest products. 

Farms with value of agricultural products sold less than 

$2,500-ln 1978, this category includes all farms, except 

abnormal farms, with sales less than $2,500. In 1969 and 1974, 

farms reporting sales less than $2,500 but having the production 

potential for sales of $2,500 and over are included in the 

category farms with sales of $2,500 and over. In frequency 

distributions, the 1969 and 1974 farms with potential sales of 

$2,500 and over are included in the $2,500 to $4,999 sales 

group. 

Other livestock and livestock products-Production of fish and 

laboratory animals is included in this category in 1974 and 

1978; whereas, production of these items was excluded entirely 

from the 1969 census. 

Poultry hatched-For 1978, this category includes all poultry 

hatched during the year that were placed or sold; whereas for 

1974, it only included poultry sold. Incubator egg capacity on 

December 31, 1978, is tabulated under the column heading 

Inventory and the number of poultry hatched is under the 

heading Sales. 

Worms-For 1978, the production of worms was separately 

identified; whereas for 1974, it was not. Inventory consists of 

the number of standard worm beds in production. A standard 

worm bed was considered to be 24 cubic feet measuring 8 feet 

by 3 feet by 1 foot. Sales of worms are shown in pounds. Worm 

casting sales are included in livestock products sold. 

Hay crops (tons, dry)-Data shown for hay represent all hay 

crops, including grass silage and hay crops cut and fed green. 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. 

Other tame dry hay-The 1974 categories clover-timothy hay, 

lespedeza hay, coastal Bermuda grass hay, and other hay have 

been combined into "other tame dry hay" in 1978. 

All vegetables harvested for sale-In 1978 and 1969, the acres of 

vegetables harvested is the summation of the acres of individual 

vegetables harvested; while in 1974, it is the total land used for 

vegetable crops. 

Land used for vegetables-Data are 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. 
APPEN 01 X A-Continued A-11 

Grapes (pounds)-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 fresh weight. 

All nursery and greenhouse products-Data are a summation of 

the individual items presented. 

Excludes abnormal farms-Abnormal farms include institutional 

farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. 

Institutional farms include those operated by hospitals, 

pen i tentiaries, schools, grazing associations, government 

agencies, etc. 

Farms by standard industrial classification-See explanation 

under Farm Classifications. 

FARM CLASSIFICATIONS 

State tables 29 throug, 35 present detailed 1978 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. In 1974, comparable detailed 

data were tabulated only for farms with sales of $2,500 or 

more. 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 

a number of State and county tables, data are shown separately 

for all farms and for farms with sales of $2,500 or more, and for 

various value of agricultural products sold or value of sales size 

groups. 

For 1978, all farms except abnormal farms have been 

tabulated by size based on reported sales. Thus, the category 

"farms with sales of $2,500 or more" includes only farms with 

actual sales of $2,500 or more. For 1969 and 1974, farms 

reporting sales of less than $2,500 but having the production 

potential for sales of $2,500 or more are included in most tables 

under the category farms with sales of $2,500 or more based on 

potential sales. 

In 1969, 1974, and 1978, abnormal farms were not tabulated 

baszd on actual or potential sales. Detailed data for abnormal 

farms are included in all farm data shown in State table 34, but 

are excluded from totals for all farms shown in other State 

tables 29 through 35. Otherwise, data for abnormal farms are 

included in totals for all farms, but are excluded from totals for 

farms with sales of $2,500 or more. 

In 1969 and earlier censuses, data were classified into nine 

groups referred to as "economic classes." For farms with sales 

of $2,500 or more, the value-of-products-sold classifications 

used in 1974 and 1978 are the same as the value ranges used for 

establishing economic classes 1 through 5. Data for farms with 

sales of less than $2,500, classified in 1969 and earlier censuses 

as class 6, part time and part retirement, are not directly 

comparable to the 1974 and 1978 value-of-product classes 

because of the change in farm definition and modifications in 

farm classification. 

Farms by tenure of operator-The classifications of tenure used 

for both the 1978 and 1974 censuses are: 

Full owners, who operate only land they own. 

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. 

Detailed 1978 data by tenure of operator are shown in State 

table 29 for all farms, excluding abnormal farms, and for farms 

with sales of $2,500 or more. 

Farms by type of organization-The 1978 Census of Agriculture 

was the first census in which all farms were classified by type of 

organization. In the 1969 and 1974 censuses, these data were 

collected and tabulated only for farms with sales of $2,500 or 

more. 

The classifications used were: 

Individual or family operation (sole proprietorship), excluding partnership and corporation. 

Partnership operation, including family partnership. 

Corporation, including family corporation. 

Other, such as cooperative, estate or trust, institutional farm, 

etc. 

For 1978, corporations were subclassified by two additional 

characteristics into: 

a. Family held. 

Other than family held. 

b. More than 10 stockholders. 

10 or less stockholders 

These subclassifications were not used in the 1974 Census of 

Agriculture. However, somewhat similar classifications were 

obtained in a follow-on survey of all corporations identified in 

the census, which were published in volume IV, part 5 of the 

1974 Census of Agriculture. This survey collected detailed 

information on family and nonfamily corporations, number of 

shareholders, and other classifications and characteristics of 

corporations at both the firm (company) and farm levels. In the 

1969 census, corporations were classified only by number of 

shareholders; those having more than 10 or those having 10 or 

fewer shareholders. 

Caution should be exercised when comparing 1978 corporation data to those of the 1974 survey and the 1969 census. For 

the 1974 survey, respondents were given a choice of fou r kinds 

of corporations from which to select the one that best described 

their operation: Family corporation, independent corporation, 

parent corporation (with one or more subsidiaries), and subsidiary of another corporation. Classification rules used prevented an independent, parent, or subsidiary corporation from 

being classified as a family corporation. The two-way choice of 

family held or other than family held used in 1978 has resulted 

in a decrease in the number and proportion of nonfamily held 

corporations reported. 

A followup study of the 1969 data indicated that a sizable 

number of farms were incorrectly reported as corporations, 

especially in the Southern States. The 1974 survey was used to 

identify and correct the misreporting of corporations in that 
A-12 APPENDIX A-Continued 

census. In the 1978 census, some reports incorrectly had both 

individual or family operation (sole proprietorship) and family 

held corporation indicated. These reports were reviewed during 

the processing phase and resolved based on whether or not the 

respondent operated under a corporate name, had reported as a 

corporation in the 1974 census, or was shown to be a 

corporation on one or more of the administrative records used 

in developing the census mail list. 

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

and principal occupation were obtained from all operators for 

1978. In 1974, these data were collected only for all farms with 

sales of less than $2,500 and for farms with sales of $2,500 or 

more operated by individuals (sole proprietorships) and partnerships. Detailed characteristics are shown by six age-of-operator 

groups in combination with occupation information for all 

farms in State table 31 and for farms with sales of less than 

$20,000 in State table 32. The principal occupation classifications used for 1978 were: 

Farming-The operator spent 50 percent or more of his 

worktime in 1978 in farming or ranching. 

Other- The operator spent 50 percent or more of his 

worktime in 1978 in occupations other than farming. Some operators engaged in ra.nching marked 

"other" as their principal occupation. Most such 

obvious errors were corrected during processing. 

Farms by size-All farms were classified by size according to the 

total land area in each operation. 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. 

Detailed characteristics of all farms by 12 size-of-farm groups 

are presented in State table 33. 

Farms by standard industrial classification- As in the 1974 

census, agricultural producti!?n establishments (farms, ranches, 

nurseries, greenhouses, etc.) are classified by the Standard 

Industrial Classification (SIC) system in the 1978 census. These 

classifications, found in the 1972 SIC Manual, are used to 

promote uniformity and comparability in the presentation of 

statistical data collected by various agencies. 

An establishment primarily engaged in crop production 

(major group 01) or livestock production (major group 02) is 

classified in the 3- or 4-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 was less than 50 percent from a single 4-digit 

industry, but 50 percent or more from the products of two or 

more 4-digit industries within the same 3-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. 

All farms in the 1978 census were classified by SIC. In the 

1974 census, farms with sales of less than $2,500 were not classified by SIC. In 1978, those agricultural producers having no sales 

reported were retained as farms and classified as general 

livestock farms in industry 0291 if livestock or pasture were 

reported or as general crop farms in industry 0191. Character· 

istics of all farms by selected SIC groupings are shown in State 

tables 11 and 35. Additional and more complete 1978 data for 

various SIC classifications are published in volume 2, part 8. 

UNPUBLISHED DATA 

Additional data have been assembled in a series of un· 

published tables. The unpublished State table "Summary by 

Standard Industrial Classification of Farms by Value of Sales: 

1978" has a format similar to State table 34. The largest size 

group in the boxhead is $100,000 or more. Data are shown for 

the following SIC groupings: 

Cash grain farms (011) 

Field crop farms except cash grain farms (013) 

Cotton farms (0131) 

Tobacco farms (0132) 

Sugar crop, Irish potato, hay, peanut, and other field crop 

farms (0133) 

Vegetable and melon farms (016) 

Fruit and tree nut farms (017)

NONSAMPLING ERRORS 

Every census or survey is subject to errors. In addition to 

sampling variability, errors may arise from such sources as 

incorrect or incomplete reporting, processing, and the inability 

to obtain a report from each eligible reporting unit. Sampling 

variability is discussed in Statistical Adjustments. 

Reported data in the census may be incorrect as a result of 

the misunderstanding of questions or because of the use of 

estimates in reporting. During processing, adjustments were 

made to data items which appeared to be inconsistent with 

other items reported for the same farm. 

Respondents may have failed to provide all of the information requested. In some cases, the respondent may have 

indicated the presence of an item but not the amount. 

Imputations were made for missing data on the quantities and 

sales of crops and livestock but no imputations were made for 

place of residence or foreign ownership of land. 

Careful efforts were made to keep errors introduced during 

clerical and electronic processing to a controlled level through 

the use of quality control, verification, and check measures on 

specific operations_ 

Extreme values in the direct enumeration sample (those 

contributing a substantial proportion of the estimated total) 

were reviewed individually and sometimes reduced. This will 

result in a possible downward bias in estimated totals. 

Inclusion of the direct enumeration sample in 1978 resulted 

in a matching operation to identify names and addresses 

included in both the direct enumeration sample and the mail 

list_ This matching operation was subjected to critical review 

and verification, including telephone calls to most respondents 

in the direct enumeration sample who were not matched in 

normal processing. Duplicates which were not identified during 

the matching process will result in an upward bias in estimated 

totals. 

An adjustment was made for nonrespondent operations on 

the mail list. This adjustment employed sampling of both 

nonrespondent and respondent cases and variation from the 

adjustment is measured in sampling error; however, any systematic bias is not measured. 

An evaluation of coverage is being conducted to measure the 

extent of undercount or overcount of farms in the census. A 

description of this evaluation is included in Census Coverage. 

CENSUS COVERAGE 

Although a complete and fully accurate count of farms, 

farmland, and farm production is the aim of each nationwide 

census of agriculture, the complex structure of America's 

agriculture makes this aim difficult to achieve. Among the 

complexities are the many places to be included, the variety of 

arrangements under which farms are operated, the continuing 

changes in the relationship of operators to the farm operated, 

the expiration of leases and the initiation or renewal of leases, 

the problem of obtaining a complete list of agricultural 

operations, the difficulty of locating and identifying some types 

of farms, the operator's absence from the farm during the data 

collection period, and the operator's opinion that part or all of 

the operation does not qualify and should not be included in 

the census. 

An evaluation of coverage has been conducted for each 

census of agriculture since 1945. Although the primary purpose 

of these evaluations is to identify problem areas and supply 

evidence as a basis for improvements, they also provide users of 

census data with estimates of the completeness of census 

counts. The results of the coverage evaluation study were published for the 1974 census in Volume IV, Special Reports, part 

3. This report included estimates of the net percentage of all 

farms missed in the census. Farm counts for 1974, adjusted for 

this net undercount, are shown in appendix C. 

The inclusion of a direct enumeration sample to supplement 

the mail list for the 1978 census partially eliminates the major 

source of undercoverage of farms, namely, incompleteness of 

the mail list. However, inaccurate counting may still occur 

because (1) by design, the sample omitted the selection of area 

segments in places that had 2,500 or more population in 1970; 

(2) direct enumeration sample interviewers may have under 

counted or over counted farms; and (3) respondents may have 

been misclassified as farms or nonfarms during processing. 

The coverage evaluation for the 1978 census includes a 

re-€numeration of a subsample of the direct enumeration 

segments with matching and verification of differences, identi· 

fication of operators not included on the mail list in places with 

2,500 or more population in 1970 using supplemental questions 

on the Annual Housing Survey, and verification of the farmnonfarm classification for a sample of respondents. 

The changes in data collection procedures implemented for 

the 1978 census should substantially reduce undercoverage, and 

the proportion of farms not included in the census is expected 

to be between 2 and 3 percent for the United States. Results of 

the coverage evaluation and other evaluative material are 

included in volume 5. 

STATISTICAL ADJUSTMENTS 

Report forms were obtained and tabulated for all the 

identified larger farms (in general, those with expected sales of 

$80,000 or more). In the few instances where the operator did 

not supply the required information, data were obtained from 

secondary sources. By means of detailed, programed edit 

specifications, adjustments or corrections were made during the 

computer edit operation for internally incomplete or inconsistent data. The review procedures provided for computer 

printouts of edit changes that exceeded specified limits for the 

item. These changes were then reviewed for reasonableness by 

members of the processing staff and necessary corrections made. 

Nonresponse 

The statistics for each State and county were adjusted to 

account for nonrespondent smaller operations. The number of 
A-14 APPENDIX A-Continued 

farms for which adjustment was made was estimated on the 

basis of the results of a canvass of a random sample of mail list 

addressees who did not respond to the census dUring the regular 

followup period. The canvass, using an abbreviated form, was 

accomplished with the use of the mail and telephone. The 

sample for each State was designed to provide estimates of the 

number of nonrespondent farms with a relative standard error 

of approximately 6 percent. However, approximately one third 

of the sample could not be contacted resulting in a potential 

bias in the estimates. The sample estimate of the number of 

non respondent farms at the State level was allocated to strata at 

the county level using the number of nonrespondents and the 

proportion of census farms among respondents. A sample of 

respondent data records was selected by stratum and weighted 

to represent the nonrespondent farms. 

Table A shows for selected items for the State the percent of 

the published total that the whole farm nonresponse adjustment 

represents. Adjustment for individual item nonresponse on 

respondent forms is not included in the percentages. These 

percentages indicate the potential for bias in published figures 

resulting from nonresponse, i.e., the extent to which the actual 

data for nonrespondents may not agree with the nonresponse 

adjustments. The probable range of difference is unknown. 

However, the degree of uncertainty regarding the accuracy of 

the data increases as the percentage of the total represented by 

the nonrespondent adjustment increases. 

Direct Enumeration Sample 

Because of undercoverage problems with the mail list for the 

1969 and 1974 censuses, a direct enumeration area sample was 

included to supplement the mail list for the 1978 census. 

Enumeration district maps and data from the 1970 Census of 

Population and Housing were used to construct the sampling 

frame from which the direct enumeration sample was selected. 

The frame was stratified by State and by a farm density ratio 

(the ratio of farm households to total households). In this State, 

the selected sample consisted of 100 segments. The expected 

number of farms per segment varied by strata from none in 

residential areas to 12 in intensive farm areas and averaged about 

10 farms. Farms enumerated in the direct enumeration sample 

were matched to the mail list and the data for the unmatched 

farms were weighted by the reciprocal of the probability of 

selection for the segment to make State estimates for farm 

operations not represented on the mail list.

Mail List Sampling 

To obtain county data for appropriate items without 

burdening all farm operators, data for Sections 22 through 27 of 

the report form 78-A 1 (S) were collected only from a sample of 

farms. The sample was selected from the mail list and consisted 

of all addresses in a certainty stratum and a random sample of 

addresses from the noncertainty stratum. The certainty stratum 

consisted of all addresses meeting specified size criteria in terms 

of indicated acreage and/or value of sales. Certainty size criteria 

varied by State from 1,000 to 5,000 indicated acres and from 

$40,000 to $200,000 indicated value of sales based on historic 

or mail list source data. All addresses in counties with less than 

100 farms in 1974 were also selected as certainty. Noncertainty 

addresses in counties with 100 to 199 farms in 1974 were 

sampled at a rate of 1 in 2, and noncertainty addresses in 

counties with 200 farms or more in 1974 were sampled at a rate 

of 1 in 5. 

Several elements of the sampling from the mail list and 

associated data collection may introduce substantial variation 

and a potential bias into the resulting data. First, the mail list 

from which the sample was selected contained about 50 percent 

nonfarm names and addresses which were not identifiable at the 

time of selection. Both farm and nonfarm names and addresses 

were selected into the sample. As a result, the farm data actually 

tabulated came only from part of the sample, specifically the 

names and addresses which represented farms. Secondly, the 

stratification was based on size information from several sources 

and of varying quality. Size information was not available for a 

substantial proportion of the names and addresses. In addition, 

sample and nonsample forms may have been returned at a 

different rate by respondents. 

In order to improve the precision and minimize the bias of 

estimates from the sample, post-stratification was used to 

produce estimates. Basically, this consisted of classifying all 

farms into relatively homogenous strata and weighting sample 

farms within each stratum by the ratio oftotal farms to sample 

farms. 

Farms meeting certainty size criteria during sample selection 

and those identified during processing as meeting similar criteria 

were assigned to a certainty stratum. All other farms were 

assigned to 64 strata. Farms with sales of less than $2,500 were 

classified into eight size-of-farm groups (less than 10 acres, 10 to 

49 acres, 50 to 69 acres, 70 to 99 acres, 100 to 199 acres, 200 

to 259 acres, 260 to 499 acres, and 500 acres or more); within 

each of two value-of-sales groups (less than $1,500 and $1,500 

to $2,499); within each of two type-of-farm groups (crop or 

general farms and livestock or poultry farms). Farms with sales 

of $2,500 or more were classified into four size-of-farm groups 

(less than 50 acres, 50 to 99 acres, 100 to 259 acres, and 260 

acres or more); within each of the four value-of-sales groups 

($2,500 to $4,999, $5,000 to $9,999, $10,000 to $19,999, and 

$20,000 or more); within each of two type-of-farm groups (crop 

or general farms and livestock or poultry farms). 

Each stratum was examined and collapsed into another 

stratum if (1) the stratum contained less than 20 sample farms; 

or (2) the calculated weight for the stratum was greater than 10 

in counties sampled at a rate of 1 in 5 and greater than 4 in 

counties sampled at a rate of 1 in 2. 
APPENDIX A-Continued A-15 

The post-stratification provided weights to be assigned to 

farms in each of the final collapsed strata such that the total of 

the weights for sample farms in the stratum would be equal to 

the total number of farms in the stratum. 

Estimates were prepared for items in Sections 22 through 27 

of the report form by multiplying the data for each item for 

each farm in the sample by the weight assigned to the farm. 

The weight for a certainty farm was 1. 

Reliability of Census Estimates 

Sampling variability in census data may arise from several 

sources, some affecting all data and others affecting only certain 

items or geographic levels of tabulation. 

The sampling involved in the imputation for nonrespondents 

affects all data items at all geographic levels of tabulation. 

However, farms above specified size limits were not eligible for 

selection to represent nonrespondents. The size limits varied by 

State from $60,000 to $150,000 and from 1,000 to 2,000 acres. 

As a result of these limits, the sampling variability arises 

primarily from smaller farms. For computing the estimates of 

variability due to weighting for nonresponse, the farms selected 

for weighting were considered to be a random sample of all 

farms in the stratum from which they were selected. 

Estimates from the direct enumeration sample are not 

included in county totals but contribute to sampling variability 

of State totals for all data items. 

The sample selected from the mail list provides estimated 

data only for Sections 22 through 27 of the report form. It 

contributes to sampling variability only for the items in these 

sections. Including the certainty farms and sample farms, data 

for Sections 22 through 27 were collected on approximately 26 

percent of the farms nationwide. 

Table B includes esti mates of sampling rei iability of State 

totals for a selected set of items. The estimates of sampling 

reliability for total number of farms, land in farms, harvested 

cropland, irrigated land, crops harvested, livestock, and value of 

agricultural products sold include components of variation for 

nonresponse imputation and for the direct enumeration sample. 

The component of variation for nonresponse imputation is 

relatively small and the direct enumeration sample is the major 

source of variation for these items. Estimates of sampling 

reliability for fertilizer use, chemical use, value of machinery 

and equipment, and value of land and buildings contain 

components of variation for the direct enumeration sample and 

the mail list sample. 

Table C contains estimates of sampling reliability for the 

estimated number of farms in a county reporting an item in 

table D. These estimates of sampling reliability contain components of variation arISing from the mail list sample. The 

approximate standard error in percent may be read directly 

from the table based on the number of farms reporting the item. 

For a number of farms not shown in the table, a linear 

interpolation will provide a reasonable approximation. These 

estimates should not be applied to counties indicated to be 

certainty in table D. 

Table 0 shows estimates of the sampling variability of 

selected items for each county and for the portion of the State 

total pertaining to farms not on the mail list. Estimates for 

county totals contain variation from the mail list sample and 

estimates for the portion not on the mail list contain variation 

from the direct enumeration sample. Items for counties indicated to be certainty in the table are subject to some sampling 

error but this is expected to be small and is not included. Items 

in county publications with data collected from all farms contain a component of variation from nonrespondent imputation. 

This component is usually small and is not shown in the sampling variability tables. 

The sample estimates and the estimates of standard errors 

presented in tables B, C, and D permit the construction of 

interval estimates with prescribed confidence that the interval 

includes the average result of all possible samples. 

If all possible samples were selected, each of these surveyed 

under essentially the same conditions, and an estimate and its 

estimated standard error were calculated from each sample, 

then: 

a. 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. 

b. Approximately 95 percent of the intervals from two 

standard errors below the estimate .0 two standard errors 

above the estimate would include the average value of all 

possible samples. 

For example, suppose the estimated number of farms in a 

State is 50,000 with a relative standard error of 3.0 percent. 

Then the standard error is 1,500 (3.0 percent of 50,000) and 

the chances are 2 out of 3 (67 percent) that complete coverage 

using the same survey methods would yield between 48,500 and 

51,500 farms. 

As calculated, the standard error also partially measures the 

effect of nonsampling errors but does not measure the effect of 

any systematic biases in the data arising from incorrect 

reporting by respondents, adjustments for nonresponse, incomplete unduplication, or incomplete coverage of farms.

APPENDIX C. Comparison of 1974 Farm Counts With 1978 Farm Counts 

The 1978 Census of Agriculture rreliminary reports show 

that there are 2,4 75, 171 farms in the continental United States 

(excluding Alaska and Hawaii). In 1974 there were 2,310,702 

farms reported. However, these figures are not directly comparable because improvements in methodology and coverage 

account significantly for the higher 1978 counts. If the improved 1978 procedures had been used in 1974, an estimated 

2.6 million farms would have been included in the census. It 

should be noted that farms missed in the 1974 census were 

generally small and affected the farm count to a greater degree 

than other data. The missed farms accounted for about 5 

percent of the land in farms and 3 percent of the total value of 

agricultural products sold. This appendix briefly describes 

census procedures and provides 1974 farm counts adjusted for 

net missed farms and compared with 1978 farm counts. 

The State totals from the 1978 Census of Agriculture are 

based on two separate sources. 

The primary source is the mail portion of the census. As 

in the 1974 and 1969 censuses, this part of the operation 

involved mailing out a report form to each name believed to 

be associated with agriculture. Mail and telephone followups 

were used to secure the highest possible rate of return of 

completed forms from the operators of the Nation's farms. 

However, the evaluation studies conducted show that 

some farms were missed in the 1974 and 1969 censuses. 

Despite every effort to assem ble a complete list, some 

operators did not get on the mail list. 

To improve the coverage of the 1978 census, additional 

mail list sources were used. Also, recognizing the shortcomings of the mail method, especially in counting the 

number of small farms, it was decided to take another step 

to ensure a more complete count. 

The second step involved conducting a complete enumeration of all households in approximately 6,400 sample segments in rural areas in all States, except Alaska and Hawaii. 

Farms enumerated in this sample were matched to the mail 

list. The sample farms not located on the mail list provided 

reliable estimates by State of the number and characteristics 

of the farms not represented in the mail portion of the census. 

Estimates for such farms are an integral part of the State 

counts in 1978, but they are not a part of the county counts. 

The sample was not large enough to provide reliable estimates for each county. 

Because of the procedures described above, the State 

counts for 1978 are not directly comparable with the counts 

for 1974 and 1969. 

To bridge the gap between the 1974 and the 1978 farm 

counts, this appendix provides adjusted farm counts for 1974 

which are approx imately comparable with farm counts for 1978. 

The adjustment factors are based on data from table 13 of 

1974 Census of Agriculture volume IV, Part 3, Coverage Evaluation, which presented data showing the estimated percent of 

farms missed and overcounted by regions and States. The estimated net percent of farms missed was derived by subtracting 

overcounted farms from missed farms. 

The 1974 coverage evaluation did not include Alaska and 

Hawaii; thus the 1978 and the 1974 data for these States are 

exclusively from farms on the mail list. Improvements in the 

1978 mail list, especially for Hawaii, have contributed to the 

increased farm counts. 

Table A presents adjusted 1974 farm cou nts by value of 

agricultural products sold categories. For each State, the adjusted farm counts for the two I/alue-of-sales categories were 

derived using the 1974 pUblished farm counts and the net 

percent missed. The adjusted counts for the two size categories 

were then added together to obtain the adjusted State count. 

The State counts were summed to obtain division, region, and 

U.S. level counts. As a result, adjusted counts derived by summation may not be exactly consistent with the indicated percent 

missed. The 1978 farm counts are from the preliminary reports 

and may differ slightly from final counts. 

Table B shows 1974 reported and adjusted counts compared 

with 1978 counts for regions by farm size and tenure of operator 

categories. Adjusted counts in these tables were proportionally 

adjusted to regional counts from table A and summed to the 

U.S. level. As a result, the indicated percent missed will not 

always agree with adjusted data. 

All data published in 1974 were based on reported numbers. 

The adjusted counts should be used only for comparison with 

1978 counts and not for comparison with other 1974 data. 

Both the 1974 and 1978 farm counts are subject to sampling 

variability. For 1974, the coefficient of variation for the adjusted farm counts is approximately 0.4 percent at the U.S. 

level and ranges from 1.0 percent to 6.0 percent for indiv idual 

States. Measures of sampling variability for 1978 counts are 

presented in appendix A.
