State totals are not published when fewer than 3 firms have reported or one
firm comprises more than 60 percent of the State total.  If we are not able to
publish a region for confidentiality reasons, it will be combined with other
regions when possible.  For example, if North Atlantic can not be published,
then it will be combined with South Atlantic to publish Atlantic.  The West
North Central and East North Central will be combined, if necessary, to form
North Central. In the event that neither could be published, they will be
combined with South Central to publish Central.  Some tables will have only one
or two regions shown, therefore the regions may not add to the United States
total.

Procedures and Reliability:  Estimates included in this report are based on
data provided each month by manufacturers of these products.  In 32 States, the
State Departments of Agriculture assist in collection of data, which eliminates
duplicate reporting and reduces respondent burden.  Data are collected by mail,
personal and telephone interviews following the close of each month.  There
were 1,340 manufacturers that made one or more products in 1998.  Each month,
reports are generally received from all dairy plants in States with small
numbers of plants.  In States with large numbers of plants, survey procedures
are designed to obtain monthly reports from all large plants and from a sample
of small plants. Monthly estimates are based upon returns from about 70 percent
of the plants which account for 70 to 90 percent of the total production of
major dairy products.
 
Revision Policy: Monthly production estimates are subject to revision the month
following the preliminary estimates.  Annual revisions are also published in
the "Dairy Products" report published each April.  An attempt is made to get
information from all plants for preparing these estimates.  Stocks data are
subject to revision the month following the preliminary estimate.
