ACKNOWLEDGMENTS-Many persons participated in conducting the 

1982 Census of Agriculture. Primary direction was by Shirley Kallek, 

Associate Director for Economic Fields (to May 1983), Charles A. Waite, 

her successor, and Michael G. Farrell, Assistant Director for Economic 

and Agriculture Censuses. 

This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division under the general 

supervision of Orvin L. Wilhite, Chief (to January 1980); Arnold L. 

Bollenbacher, Chief (to June 1982); and John H. Berry, Chief (from 

July 1982). 

Many divisions contributed to this report. Data Preparation performed 

the clerical processing; Administrative Services provided the forms design 

and other administrative services; Publications Services contributed in 

publication planning and design, editorial review, composition, and 

printing procurement; Computer Services provided the computer proc· 

essing facilities; Field provided selected data collection activities; and 

Economic Surveys assisted in preparation of data collection and proc· 

essing procedures and computer programs. 

Members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics 

and representatives of both public and private organizations made significant recommendations which helped establish data content. 

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

provided valuable advice in the planning, publicizing, and processing 

phases of the census, and in helping farmers and ranchers complete the 

report forms. 

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

organizations were most helpful in publicizing the census and encouraging 

cooperation of farm and ranch operators. 

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

who furnished the information requested. Only through their cooperation 

was it possible to collect and publish the data in this report.

HISTORY 

The census of agriculture provides a periodic statistical pic' 

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

The 1982 Census of Agriculture is the 22d taken by the 

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

The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the 

sixth decennial census of population. From 1840 to 1950, an 

agriculture census was taken as part of the decennial census. A 

separate mid-decade census of agriculture was conducted in 

1925, 1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, a census of agriculture was taken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, 

Congress authorized the census of 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 in· 

dustries, and selected transportation activities. After 1982, the 

agriculture census will revert to a 5·year cycle and be taken 

covering years ending in 2 and 7. 

USES OF THE CENSUS 

The census of agriculture is the leading source of statistics 

about the Nation's agriculture and the only source of consistent, comparable data about agriculture at the county, State, 

and national levels. Census statistics are used by Congress in 

developing and changing farm programs and for determining the 

effects of these programs. Many national and State programs 

affecting agriculture are designed or allocated on the basis of 

census data, such as funds for extension services, research, and 

soil conservation projects. Private industry uses census statistics to provide a more effective production and distribution 

system for the farm community. 

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED 

The census of agriculture is required by law under title 13, 

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

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

after 1983 covering the prior year. The 1982 census includes 

each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the 

United States. 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

FARM DEFINITION 

Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for 

census purposes were first established, the farm definition has 

been changed nine times. The current definition, first used for 

the 1974 final reports, is 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 reports) was 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 would have been 

sold during the census year. 

COMPARABILITY OF DATA 

All censuses since 1969 were conducted primarily by mail. 

To improve the coverage of the 1978 census, especially in 

counting the number of small farms, the mailout/mailback 

enumeration was supplemented by the direct enumeration 

of all households in approximately 6,400 sample segments in 

rural areas in all States, except Alaska and Hawaii. Due to 

budget reductions, the direct enumeration area sample was 

eliminated for 1982. 

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

Census of Agriculture publications included data for farms represented on the mail list plus estimates from the area sample 

for farms not on the mail list. The 1978 county data included 

only farms represented on the mail list as the sample was not 

large enough to provide reliable estimates for each county. 

To provide comparable data for 1982 and 1978, estimates 

from the 1978 area sample have been subtracted from the 1978 

data. Thus, the 1978 data in this report include only farms represented on the mail list. Appendix B includes a detailed discussion of the effect of the area sample on census comparability_ 

In general, data for 1982, 1978, and 1974 are not fully comparable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses due to changes 

in the farm definition. Data on acreages and inventories for 

1982 and 1978 are generally comparable_ Dollar figures shown 

for expenses and agricultural product sales have not been 

adjusted for changes in price levels between census years. 

TABULAR PRESENTATION 

State data-In chapter 1, State tables 1 through 43 show detailed State level data usually accompanied by historical data 

for one or more past censuses. Tables 44 through 50 provide 

1982 State data cross-tabulated by various farm classifications. 

County data-Selected data items are presented by county in 

chapter 2. Tables 1 through 16 include general data for all 

counties. The counties are listed in alphabetical order in the 

INTRODUCTION V 
column headings. In tables 17 through 36, only counties reporting the data item are included in the table stub. Counties 

not having the item, or with a limited number of farms reporting the item, are not listed separately. Data for these 

counties are combined and presented as "all other counties." 

PRELIMINARY REPORTS 

Preliminary reports have been published separately for each 

county with 10 farms or more in 1982, each State, and the 

United States. This series provided, at the earliest possible date, 

information on major data items together with comparable 

final data from the 1978 census. The data items were standard 

except in tables 4 and 5 where the selected crops varied by 

State according to their relative importance. 

For farms, land in farms, livestock inventories, and other 

major items at the county level, differences between the preliminary and final figures are generally less than 5 percent. At 

the State level, differences are significantly less. 

MICROFICHE AND COMPUTER TAPES 

The data in this report and final data for individual counties 

are available on microfiche. The final microfiche county tables 

have the same format as the county preliminary report. Also, 

computer tapes are available for the same summary statistics 

that are found in the preliminary and volume 1 reports. Microfiche reports are sold by the Superintendent of Documents, 

U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. 

Computer tapes are sold by the Customer Services Branch, Data 

User Services Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, 

D.C. 20233. 

UNPUBLISHED DATA 

Copies of computer printouts of the following unpublished 

county summary tables are available: 

Land in Farms With Cropland Harvested and Land in Farms 

and Cropland Harvested on Irrigated Farms, by Size of 

Farm: 1982

All censuses beginning with the 1969 census have been conducted primarily by mail. The 1978 census was the only census 

to include a mailout/mailback enumeration supplemented by 

the direct interview of all households in a sample of area segments. This combination of the mailout/mailback enumeration 

plus the area sample was used in 1978 to improve completeness of coverage for U_S., regional, and State level agriculture 

census statistics. Due to budget reductions, the area sample was 

eliminated in 1982. 

In censuses prior to the 1969 census, enumerators were assigned to specific areas and called on all farm operators within 

each 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_ 

The mailout/mailback enumeration procedure was not used 

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

Virgin Islands. A discussion of the direct enumeration methods 

used there appears in the reports for these outlying areas. A 

description of the special direct enumeration of citrus caretakers is included in the Definitions and Explanations section. 

Mail List 

The mail list for the 1982 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 1978 census and adm inistrative records of various government agencies, primarily the 

Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). 

Lists of large or specialized operations, such as nurseries, 

specialty crop farms,. broiler growers, fish farms, livestock 

farms, and cattle feedlot operations, were obtained from State 

and Federal agencies, trade associations, and sim ilar organizations. Lists of multiestablishment companies having one or 

more establishments (or locations) producing agricultural products were obtained from the 1978 census and updated using 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

maintained by the Census Bureau. 

A preliminary census mail list was assembled using names 

and addresses from the 1978 census and administrative source 

lists available in September 1981. Those records whic.h were 

less likely to be farms were included in the 1982 Farm and 

Ranch Identification Survey. Approximately 3 million farm and 

ranch forms were mailed in March 1982 to names which appeared on only one source list or selected combinations of lists 

which had yielded a low percentage of farm operators in the 

1978 census. As a result of this survey, nonfarm names and 

addresses were deleted from the census mail list, new tenant 

and successor operations were added, and the names, addresses, 

and size information were updated for the identified active farm 

operators. 

The final census mail list was developed using results of the 

1982 Farm and Ranch Identification Survey, names and addresses from the unduplicated preliminary list that were retained without precensus verification, and new or updated 

source lists acquired after the preliminary unduplication. The 

preliminary and final census mail lists were both constructed 

by merging and unduplicating the names and addresses from the 

various source lists 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 resolved 

prior to mailing. Other duplicate names were either reported 

by respondents or located during office processing. 

Report Forms 

In 1982, 12 regional report form versions were used. These 

forms were tailored primarily in sections 2 through 8 to list 

crops commonly produced in one or more States, and in section 15 to list livestock specialties produced. These modifications were made to enhance reporting of crop and livestock data and to reduce respondent burden. 

Two report form versions were used to minimize the reporting burden, particularly for small farms. Approximately 

75 percent of all farms received the 4-page '1onsample form 

covering major items such as land use, crops, livestock and 

poultry, market value of agricultural products sold, and 

operator characteristics. The 5-page sample form was mailed 

to all large and specialized farms (based on expected sales, 

acres, or standard industrial classification), all farms in 

Alaska and Hawaii, and approximately 17 percent of all other 

farms. The sample form contained all the items asked on the 

nonsample form plus the sample items (sections 22 through 28). 

The sample form and the information sheet appear in appendix C. The Statistical Adjustments section of this appendix 

includes a discussion of the criteria used to determine whether 

the sample or nonsample form was to be mailed to addressees. 

APPENDIX A A-1 
Initial Mailing 

The report forms were mailed in late December 1982 to the 

approximately 3,653,000 individuals, businesses, and organizations on the mail list. The information sheet containing instructions for completing the form and a brochure explaining the uses of the census data were included with each report 

form. Additional special instructions were included with report forms sent to grazing associations; feedlot operations; institutional organizations; and producers of poultry under contract, bees and honey, fish, laboratory animals, worms, and 

nursery and greenhouse products. 

In an effort to provide additional help to farmers in completing their reports, copies of an Agriculture Census Guide 

booklet were sent to county agricultural agencies, institutions, 

or businesses to whom farmers might turn for help. Included 

were vocational agriculture instructors, and USDA county 

offices-Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, 

Farmers Home Administration, Soil Conservation Service, and 

Cooperative 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 requested. 

Followup Procedures 

The data collection effort included a reminder card and five 

followup letters, two of which were accompanied by a report 

form. Followup reminders were sent to nonrespondents on a 

flow basis at 3- to 4-week intervals starting in late February and 

continuing until late June 1983. In early April 1983, an additional followup letter was sent to nonrespondents in low 

response counties in 14 States. 

Telephone calls were made to nonrespondents who were 

expected to have large operations (those with expected sales 

of $100,000 or more) or who were located in low response 

counties. A nonresponse adjustment procedure was used to 

represent the final nonrespondent farms in the census results. 

A description of this procedure is included in the Statistical 

Adjustments section. 

DATA PROCESSING 

Selected report forms were reviewed prior to keying the data 

onto magnetic tape. These included reports with attached correspondence, and reports with remarks or no positive data on the 

front page. All new successors reported by former operators 

were researched to see if they had already been included in the 

census mailing. Report forms were mailed to successor addresses 

not located on the mail file. This processing improved the 

coverage of the census. 

The data for each report form were subjected to a detailed 

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

checks for consistency and reasonableness, corrected erroneous 

or inconsistent data, supplied missing data based on similar 

farms within the same county, and assigned farm classification 

codes necessary for tabulating the data. Significant computergenerated changes to the data were reviewed and verified. 

In the computer edit, farms with sales, acreage, or commodities exceeding specified levels were tested for historical 

comparability. Key items, such as acreage and sales, were compared for significant changes between 1978 and 1982. Sizeable 

A-2 APPENDIX A 

historical differences were resolved or verified, by telephone if 

necessary. 

Respondents who reported sales or acreage above specified 

levels on nonsample forms were sent correspondence requesting 

the additional sample data. Report forms with reported sales 

of $1,000,000 or more or 30,000 acres or more, and other 

selected. problem reports were reviewed by statisticians in the 

Agriculture Division. Problems that could not be resolved by 

reference to other information on the report were resolved by 

contacting the respondents by telephone or correspondence. 

Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed by 

statisticians to identify any inconsistencies and potential coverage problems. Comparisons were made with previous census 

data, estimates published by the USDA and other available 

check data. Selected report forms were reviewed and problem 

entries were either verified as being correct or the data were 

corrected. 

MAJOR DATA CHANGES 

The content of the 1982 census report form is similar to 

that of the 1978 form. To limit respondent burden, the 1978 

and 1982 forms incl uded only data items needed at the county 

level, either on a complete or sample basis. The 1978 census 

data items which were eliminated from the 1982 form include: 

Land held under foreign ownership 

Gallons purchased of gasoline; diesel fuel; LP gas, butane 

and propane; and fuel oil 

Animal health costs for livestock and poultry 

The following new data items were added to the 1982 report form: 

Interest expense for the farm business 

Source of irrigation water 

Year in which the operator began to operate the farm 

More extensive data on Commodity Credit Corporation 

(CCC) loans were collected in 1982. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

The following definitions and explanations provide a more 

detailed description of the terms used in this publication than 

are available in the tables or on the report form. For an exact 

wording of the questions on the 1982 census report forms and 

the information sheet which accompanied these forms, see 

appendix C. 

Most definitions of terms are the same as those used in earlier 

censuses. The more important exceptions are also noted here. 

Farms or farms reporting-The term "farms" or "farms reporting" in the presentation of data denotes the number of 

farms reporting the item. For example, if there are 3,710 

farms in a State and 842 of them had 28,594 cattle and 

calves, the data for those farms reporting cattle and calves 

would appear as: 

Cattle and calves ...................... farms .. 842 

num ber .. 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 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
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. All grazing land, except land used under government 

permits on a per-head basis, was included as "land in farms" 

provided it was part of a farm or ranch. 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 

reservations not reported by individual Indians or non-Indians 

was to be reported in the name of the cooperative group that 

used the land. In some instances, an entire Indian reservation 

was reported as one farm. 

Land area-The approximate land area of counties and States 

shown for 1982 represents the to~al land area as determined by 

records and calculations updated as of January 1, 1983. The 

county land areas were remeasured in 1980. The previous 

county measurements were done in 1940. Any differences between the land area in 1982 and 1978 are due to these new 

measurements, annexations, and other changes affecting county 

boundaries. 

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

each farm was tabulated as being in the operator's principal 

county. The principal county was defined as the one where 

the largest value of agricultural products was raised or produced. It was usually the county containing all or the largest 

proportion of the land in the farm or viewed by the respondent as his/her principal county. For a limited number of 

Midwest and Western States, this procedure has resulted in the 

allocation of more land in farms to a county than the total 

land area of the county. To minimize this distortion, separate 

reports were required for large farms identified from the 1978 

census as having more than one farm unit. Other reports received showing land in more than one county were separated 

into two or more reports if the data would significantly affect 

the county totals. 

Value of land and buildings-Respondents were asked to report 

their estimate of the current market value of land and buildings 

owned, rented or leased from others, and rented or leased to 

others. Market value refers to the respondent's estimate of what 

the land and buildings would sell for under current market 

conditions. If the value of land and buildings was not reported, 

it was estimated using the average value of land and buildings 

from a similar farm in the same geographic area. 

Harvested cropland-This category includes land from which 

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

citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from 

which two or more crops were harvested was counted only 

once, even though there was more than one use of the land. 

Cropland used only for pasture or grazing-This category includes land used only for pasture or grazing that could have 

been used for crops without additional improvement, and all 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

land planted in crops that were grazed before the crops reached 

maturity. Also included was all cropland used for rotation pasture and land in government diversion programs that were 

pastured. However, cropland that was pastured after crops were 

harvested was not to be included. 

Other cropland-This category includes cropland used only for 

soil improvement crops, land on which all crops failed, cultivated summer fallow, idle cropland, and land planted in crops 

that were to be harvested after the census year. 

Total woodland-This category includes natural or planted 

woodlots or timber tracts, cutover and deforested land with 

young growth which has or will have val ue for wood 'products, 

and land planted for Christmas tree production. Land covered 

by sagebrush or mesquite was to be reported as other pasture· 

land and rangeland or other land. 

Woodland pastured-This category includes all woodland used 

for pasture or grazing during the census year. Woodland or 

forest land pastured under a per-head grazing permit was not 

counted as land in farms and therefore was not included in 

woodland pastured. 

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

ponds, roads, wasteland, etc. In 1974, for farms with sales of 

less than $2,500, this category included pastureland and rangeland other than cropland and woodland pastured in addition to 

land in house lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, and wasteland. 

Land set aside in federal farm programs-This land includes land 

diverted or set aside under the provisions of the Federal Commodity Acreage Reduction Program. These data are for the 

acres of cropland taken out of production by growers of wheat, 

cotton, rice, corn, sorghum, barley, and oats, and devoted to 

conservation uses. No information was obtained as to which 

crops would have been grown on the acres set aside. 

Irrigated land-This category includes all land watered by any 

artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers, furrows or 

ditches, and spreader dikes. Included are supplemental, partial, 

and preplant irrigation. Each acre was to be counted only once 

regardless of the number of times it was irrigated or harvested. 

Operator-The term "operator" designates a person who operates a farm, either doing the work or making day-to-day decisions about such things as planting, harvesting, feeding, 

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 a person rents land to others or has land 

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

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

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

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

oldest active partner is considered the operator. For census 

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

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

named on the address label of the report form, but another 

family member, a partner, or a hired manager who was actually in charge of the farm 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 1982. If 

APPENDIX A A-3 
operator characteristics of race, age, sex, and principal occupation were not reported, they were derived based on information reported by farms with similar acreage size, tenure, 

and sales size. No imputations were made for nonresponse 

to place of residence, Spanish origin, off-farm work, or year 

began operation. For the 1982 and '978 censuses, operators 

of Spanish origin were tabulated by reported race. Prior censuses included Spanish origin as "White" whenever separate 

data for the White race were shown. 

Selected farm production expenses-Since only selected production expenses incurred in 1982 were requested, the ex· 

pense data cannot be used in combination with gross sales 

to calculate net cash farm income. The 1979 Farm Finance 

Survey provided estimates on net cash farm income. 

In 1982, as in other recent censuses, operators producing 

crops, I ivestock, or poultry under contract frequently failed 

to report certain expenditure data. They often were unable 

or unwilling to estimate the cost of production inputs fur· 

nished by the contractors. As a consequence, the rate of impu, 

tation of expenditure data for these operations is considerably 

higher than it is for noncontract producers. 

Commercial fertilizer-The expense for commercial ferti· 

lizer is the amount spent on fertilizer during 1982, ex· 

cluding the cost of application. Some fertilizer purchased 

in 1982 may not have been applied during the year. If the 

fertilizer was applied by someone other than the operator, 

respondents were requested to report the cost of applica· 

tion as an expense for customwork, machine hire, and reno 

tal of machinery and equipment. 

Other agricultural chemicals-These expenses include the 

cost of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other 

pesticides, excluding costs of application. Data exclude 

commercial fertilizer purchased. The cost of lime is included 

in the 1978 data, but excluded from 1982. 

Custom work, machine hire, and rental of machinery and 

equipment-These expenses include costs incurred for 

having custom work 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 custom· 

work service is included in the customwork expense. The 

cost of labor for operating rented or hired machinery is included as a h:red farm and ranch labor expense. 

Interest expense-Only the interest expense for the farm 

business was to be reported. Although instructions requested 

that interest on the owner/operator dwelling be excluded 

when separate records were available, it is probable that an 

undetermined amount of such nonfarm business interest was 

also reported. 

Energy and petroleum products-Respondents were asked to 

report only those expenses pertai ning to the operation of 

the farm business. 

Storage capacity-This category applies to those farms reporting 

expenditures for the specific kind of fuel. The storage capacity 

was to be reported even if not used during the census year. 

A-4 APPENDIX A 

Farms with storage capacity reported as "no"-This category 

includes farm operators with expenditures for a specific kind 

of fuel who also checked the "none" box for storage capacity. 

See appendix C, section 26, Expenditures for Energy. 

Market value of agricultural products sold-This category represents the gross market value before taxes and production expenses of all agricultural products sold or removed from the 

place in 1982 regardless of who received the payment. It includes 

sales by the operator as well as the value of any shares received 

by partners, landlords, contractors, or others associated with the 

operation. I n addition, it includes the loan value received in 

19B2 for placing commodities in the CCC loan program. This 

ensures comparabi lity with prior census years for market value 

of agricultural products sold. 

The value of agricultural products sold represents total sales 

of all crops, including nursery products sold, and livestock, 

poultry, and their products sold. It does not include income 

from farm·related sources such as customwork or agricultural 

services, or income from nonfarm sources. Sales of forest products were not included in 1978 or 19B2; but were included in 

1974. 

The value of crops sold in 19B2 does not necessarily represent the sales from frops harvested in 19B2. Data may include 

sales from crops produced in earlier years and exclude some 

crops produced in 1982, but held in storage and not sold. For 

commodities, such as sugar beets and wool, sold through a co-op 

which made payments in several installments, respondents 

were requested to report only the total value received in 1982. 

ThE' value of agricultural products sold was collected from all 

operators. If the operator failed to report, 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 used when comparing sales in 1982 with 

sales reported in earlier censuses due to the 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 1982 by farm operators for providing services for 

others such as planting, plowing, spraying, harvesting, etc. Income from machine work and other agricultural services is 

generally included in the agriculture census if it is supplemental to the farming operation. However, it is excluded if it 

constitutes a separate establishment or is conducted from an· 

other location. The agricultural services part of a farming 

operation was generally considered a separate establishment 

when income from agricultural services was $10,000 or more 

and greater than the value of agricultural products sold. Due to 

legislative restrictions, data for establishments primarily engaged in agricultural services were not collected in 1982. 

Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer and lime-For 

each type of agricultural chemical, the acres treated were to be 

reported only once. If multipurpose chemicals were used, the 

acres treated for each purpose were to be reported. 

Fish and other aquacultural products-The raising of fish and 

other aquacultural products in captivity is included in the agri· 

culture census. Production in salt water is considered not to be 

in captivity and is excluded from the census. The value of fish 

and other aquacultural products sold and laboratory animals 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
sold is included in the category "other livestock and livestock 

products." 

Bees and honey-Bee and honey production was enumerated 

and tabulated in the county in which the home farm was 10' 

cated even though hives are often moved from farm to farm 

over a wide geographic area. 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-In the 1982 census, reports for selected 

citrus caretakers in Arizona, Florida, and Texas were obtained 

by direct enumeration. A citrus caretaker is an organization or 

person caring for or managing citrus groves for others. This 

special enumeration has been used in recent censuses because 

of the difficulty in identifying and enumerating absentee grove 

owners who often do not know the information that is needed 

to adequately complete the census report. Each citrus caretaker was enumerated as a farm operator and requested to complete one report form for all groves cared for and to furnish a 

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

names on the lists were matched to completed grove owners' 

report forms to eliminate duplication. The caretaker 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 the citrus again. In the 1982 census, 8 caretakers in Arizona reported 210 grove owners having 13,000 

acres of citrus; the 99 caretakers in Florida reported 5,900 

- grove owners having 250,000 acres of citrus; and 21 caretakers 

in Texas reported 1,500 grove owners having 30,000 acres of 

citrus. 

Crop year or season covered-Acres and quantity harvested are 

for the calendar year 1982 except for citrus fruits, avocados, 

olives; vegetables in Florida; sugarcane in Florida and Texas; and 

pineapples and coffee in Hawaii. 

Citrus fruits-The data for Florida relate to the quantity 

harvested in the September 1981 through July 1982 harvest 

season, except limes that were harvested in the April 1982 

through March 1983 harvest season. The data for Texas 

relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1981 

th rough May 1982 harvest season. The data for States, other 

than Florida and Texas, relate to the quantity harvested in 

the 1981-82 harvest season. 

Avocados-The data for California relate to the quantity 

harvested in the November 1981 through November 1982 

harvest season and for Florida the April 1982 through 

March 1983 harvest season. 

Olive5-The data for California relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1981 through March 1982 harvest 

season. 

Vegetables-The data for Florida relate to the crop harvested 

in the September 1981 through August 1982 harvest season. 

Sugarcane for sugar-The data for Florida relate to the cuttings from November 1981 through April 1982, and for 

Texas the cuttings from October 1981 through April 1982. 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

Pineapples-The data for Hawaii relate to the quantity harvested in the year ending May 31, 1982. 

Coffee-The data for Hawaii relate to the 1981-82 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 inc! uding land in orchards, berries, vegetables, and 

nursery and greenhouse products; and in Hawaii, taro, ginger 

root, and lotus root. Totals for crops reported in 10ths of 

acres were rounded to whole acres at the aggregate level during 

the tabulation process. 

If two or more crops were harvested from the same land 

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

Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested generally exceeds the acres of cropland harvested. 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 crop or silage would be reported 

for each applicable crop. For interplanted crops or "skip-row" 

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

field occupied by each crop. 

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

be reported as harvested. These acres were to be reported in the 

"land use" section under the appropriate cropland items-cropland used only for pasture or grazing, cropland used for cover 

crops, cropland on which all crops failed, or cropland idle. 

Corn and sorghum hogged or grazed were to be reported as 

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

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

or grazed was not to be reported as cropland pasture. 

Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as vegetables; nursery and greenhouse products; corn cut for dry 

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

Acres of land in bearing and nonbearing fruit orchards, citrus 

or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees were to be reported as 

harvested cropland regardless of whether the crop was harvested 

or failed. However, abandoned orchards were to be reported 

as cropland idle, not as harvested cropland and the individual 

abandoned orchard crop acres were not to be reported. 

Land in orchards-This category includes land in bearing and 

nonbearing fruit trees, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and 

nut trees of all ages, including land on which all fruit crops 

failed. Respondents were instructed not to report abandoned 

plantings and plantings of less than 20 total fruit, citrus, or nut 

trees, or grapevines. 

Crop units of measure-The regional report forms allowed the 

operator to report the quantity of field crops harvested in a unit 

of measure commonly used in the region. When the operator reported in a unit of measure different than the unit of measure 

published, the quantity harvested was converted to the published unit of measure. 

Grapes could be reported in dry weight or fresh weight; 

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

and in Hawaii, coffee in pounds parchment or pounds cherry, 

and macadamia nuts in pounds husked, unshelled or pounds 

shelled. For other fru it 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. 

APPENDIX A A-5 
Write-in crops-To reduce the length of the report form, only 

the major crops for the region were prelisted. For other crops, 

the respondent was requested to look at a list of crops in each 

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

that had no individual code listed on the report form, the 

respondent was to write in the crop name and code the crop 

into the appropriate "all other" category for that section. 

Write-in crops coded as "all other" were reviewed and assigned a specific code when possible. Crops not assigned a 

specific code were left in the appropriate "all other" category. 

In some cases, the reviewers were unable to determine the 

specific crop reported by the respondent because of incomplete 

or generalized crop names. To ensure prooer coding, most of 

these respondents were telephoned. Reports for those not 

telephoned were changed on the basis of other reports for the 

area. 

Misreported or miscoded crops-In a few instances, tabulated 

data may be inaccurate because respondents misunderstood or 

misinterpreted questions on the report form. Data may have 

been reported on the wrong line or in the wrong section, or 

the wrong crop code may have been placed beside the name of 

a write-in crop. Some of these errors as well as some keying 

errors may not have been identified during processing and 

therefore were not corrected. Reports with significant acres 

of unusual crops for the area were examined to minimize the 

possibil ity that they were in error. 

Changes in crop wording-Changes were made to the wording of 

selected crop items on the 1982 census forms. These items are 

listed with the wording used in 1978. The 1982 and 1978 data 

are comparable for all items, except improved pecans and wild 

and seedling pecans which were combined. 

Dry edible beans, excluding dry limas-The 1978 wording 

was "dry field and seed beans." 

Dry edible peas-The 1978 wording was "dry field and seed 

peas". Dry edible peas exclude Austrian winter peas, wrin· 

kled seed peas, and southern peas or cowpeas. 

Green cowpeas and green southern peas; cowpeas and southern peas for dry peas-The wording for these items was 

changed for 1982 to include the term "southern peas," a 

more common term for cowpeas. 

Honey tangerines-The 1978 wording was "murcotts.". 

Other tangerines-The 1978 wording was "tangerines and 

mandarins. " 

Pecans-The 1978 categories "improved pecans" and "wild 

and seedling pecans" have been combined into "pecans" for 

1982. 

"See text" References 

Items in the tables which carry the note "See text" are explained or defined in this section. 

Data are based on a sample of farms-For 1982 and 1978, selected data were collected from only a sample of farms. These data 

are subject to sampling error. For 1982, the 5·page sample form 

was mailed to all large and specialized farms (based on expected 

A-6 APPENDIX A 

sales, acres, or standard industrial classification!. all farms in 

Alaska and Hawaii, and approximately 17 percent of all other 

farms. Sample sections 22 through 28 of the 1982 census forms 

include inquiries on commercial fertilizer and lime, chemicals, 

interest expense, machinery and equipment, expenditures for 

energy and petroleum products, selected production expenses, 

and value of land and buildings. Estimates of the reliability of 

county totals for selected items are shown in table E. 

Principal source of irrigation water-The acres irrigated by 

principal source were derived based on reported percentages 

of water obtained by source. See appendix C for an example 

of section 11, Land Irrigated. When irrigation water was obtained from two or more sources, the acres irrigated were 

included only once under the source from which the largest 

percentage of water was obtained. 

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 1982 and 1978, characteristics and occupation of the senior 

partner or person in charge were collected from all farms. 

Farms operated by Black and other races-This category includes Blacks, American Indians, Asian and Pacific Islanders, 

and all other racial groups other than White. 

All other races-This category is primarilv limited to persons 

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

Farms reporting no interest expense-This category includes 

only reports without dollars reported and the "no" box checked 

for the yes/no screening question in section 24. See appendix 

C for an example of section 24, Interest Expense. 

Total sales-This item represents the gross market value of all 

agricultural products sold before taxes and expenses in the 

census year including livestock, poultry, and their products; 

and crops, including nursery products, and hay. Respondents 

were asked to incl~e landlords' and contractors' shares. As in 

prior census years, ):he value of commodities placed in CCC 

loans are included as sold. Sales of forest products were not 

included in 1978 or 1982. The 1974 data included sales of 

forest products from those places qualifying as farms through 

other agricultural production. 

Farms with sales of less than $2,500-ln 1982 and 1978, this 

category included all farms, except abnormal farms, with ac· 

tual sales of less than $2,500. In 1974, farms with sales of less 

than $2,500 but having the production potential for sales of 

$2,500 and over are included in the category "$2,500 to 

$4,999." 

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

farms, except abnormal farms, with actual sales of less than 

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

or more. 

Abnormal farms-This category includes institutional farms, 

experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. Institutional farms include those operated by hospitals, peni· 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
tentlanes, churches, schools, grazing associations, government 

agencies, etc. In prior censuses, a number of nongovernmental 

units such as church farms and F FA camps were classified as 

abnormal farms. In 1982, such nongovernmental units were 

classified as abnormal farms only when 50 percent or more 

of their products produced and intended for human consumption were utilized bv the organization. 

Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals 

for human consumption-This category represents the value 

of agricultural products produced and sold directly to individuals for human consumption from roadside stands, farmers' markets, pick-your-own sites, etc. It excludes nonedible 

products such as nursery products, cut flowers, wool, etc. Sales 

of agricultural products by vertically integrated operations 

through their own processing and marketing operations were 

excluded. 

Other livestock and livestock products-This category includes 

all livestock and livestock products not listed separately. 

Value of livestock and poultry on farms-Data for the value of 

livestock and poultry on farms were obtained by multiplying 

the inventory of each major age and sex group by State average 

prices. The State average prices for cattle, hogs, sheep, angora 

goats, hens and pullets of laying age, and turkeys were obtained primarily from data published by the Statistical Reporting Service, USDA. Prices applied to other livestock and 

poultry were census-derived averages based primarily on 

reported value of sales in the census. 

Poultry hatched-This category includes all poultry hatched 

during the year and placed or sold. Incubator egg capacity on 

December 31, 1982, is tabulated under the column heading Inventory and the number of poultry hatched is under the heading 

Sales. 

Worms-Worm inventory consists of the number of standard 

worm beds in production. A standard worm bed is considered 

to be 24 cubic feet_ Sales of worms are shown in pounds. Sales 

of worm castings are included in other livestock products 

sold. 

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

chop, etC.-Data shown for hay represent all hay crops, including grass silage, haylage, and hay crops cut and fed green 

(green chop). In production data, dry tons represent dry 

tonnage for the various hay categories and dry weight equivalents for grass silage and hay cut and fed green. The conversion 

used was 3 tons of green weight to 1 ton of dry weight. 

Tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild hay-Data 

shown represent dry tons of hay harvested from clover, lespeJeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudan grass, and other types of 

legume and tame grasses. 

Grass silage, haylage, and green chop hay-The 1978 categories 

"grass silage and haylage" and "hay crops cut and fed green 

(green chop)" have been combined into "Qrass silage, haylage, and green chop hay" in 1982. 

Grapes-Farm operators were given the option of reporting 

the quantity of grapes harvested in dry weight or fresh weight. 

For publication purposes, all quantities of grapes harvested 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

have been converted to pounds fresh weight. The conversion 

used was 4.3 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry weight. 

Plums and prunes-Farm operators were given the option 

of reporting the quantity of plums and prunes harvested in 

dry weight or fresh weight. For publication purposes, all quantities of plums and prunes harvested have been converted to 

pounds fresh weight. The conversion used was 3 pounds fresh 

weight to 1 pound dry weight. 

Almonds-In 1982, the quantity of almonds harvested was reported in pounds of meats. For 1978, the quantity harvested 

was reported in the shell. 

Other fruits and nuts- Data shown for other fruits and nuts 

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

1982 report form. 

Land used for vegetables-Data are for the total land used for 

vegetable crops. The acres are reported only once, even though 

two or more harvests of a vegetable or more than one vegetable 

were harvested from the same acres. 

Vegetables harvested for sale-The acres of vegetables harvested 

is the summation of the acres of individual vegetables harvested. 

All of the individual vegetable items may not be shown. 

Nursery and greenhouse products grown for sale-These data are 

a summation of the individual items reported. All of the individual items may not be shown. 

Other grains-These data are for the total market value of other 

grains sold including dry edible beans, dry lima beans, buckwheat, cowpeas and southern peas for dry peas, emmer and 

spelt, flaxseed, mixed grains, lentils, mustard seed, dry edible 

peas, popcorn, proso millet, rice, rye for grain, safflower, sunflower seed, triticale, and wild rice. 

Value of crop production-This item represents the estimated 

value of all crops harvested during the 1982 crop year. Data for 

the value of crops harvested were obtained by multiplying the 

average estimated val ue per unit by the reported acres or quantity harvested. Generally, harvested units of production (pounds, 

bushels, bales, etc.) were multiplied by State estimates of prices 

per unit. If only acres harvested were reported, State estimates 

for value of production per acre were used. The State average 

production price and production value per acre used in these 

calculations were obtained in most part from publications of 

the Statistical Reporting Service, USDA. When USDA estimates 

were not available, Bureau of the Census statisticians made 

estimates using available sources such as data from adjacent 

States, respondent report forms, county extension agents, and 

other persons knowledgeable about specific crops. 

FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED 

CHARACTERISTICS 

State tables 44 through 50 present detailed 1982 data for all 

farms classified by specified characteristics-tenure of operator, 

type of organization, age and principal occupation of operator, 

size of farm (acres), value of agricultural products sold, and 

standard industrial classification. Other. tables include data 

classified by value of sales groups, or other characteristics of 

the farm or the operator. 

APPENDIX A A-7 
Farms by value of agricultural products sold or value of sales-In 

1982, all farms except abnormal farms were tabulated by size 

based on reported sales. Thus, the category "farms with sales 

of $2,500 to $4,999" included only farms with actual sales of 

$2,500 to $4,999. Abnormal farms were not tabulated based 

on actual or potential sales. The category "farms with sales of 

less than $1,000" included all farms, except abnormal farms, 

with actual sales of less than $1,000 but having the production 

potential for sales of $1,000 or more. 

The sales size categories have been changed to be consistent 

with the standard business size categories issued by the Office 

of Management and Budget in 1982. Sales size categories 

"$100,000 to $249,999" and "$250,000 to $499,999" are used 

in this report; whereas, sales size categories "$100,000 to 

$199,999" and "$200,000 to $499,999" were used in prior 

censuses. In State table 11 and county table 3, the 1978 census 

data have been retabulated into the new sales size categories. 

Farms by tenure of operator-The classifications of tenure used 

in the 1982 census were: 

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. 

Farms by type of organization-All farms were classified by 

type of organization in the 1982 census. The classifications used 

were: 

Individual or family operation (sole proprietorship), ex· 

cluding partnership and corporation. 

Partnership operation, including family partnership. 

Corporation, including family corporation. 

Other, such as cooperative, estate or trust, institutional 

farm, etc. 

Corporations were subclassified by two additional charac· 

teristics into: 

a. Family held 

Other than family held 

b. More than 10 stockholders 

10 or less stockholders 

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

and principal occupation were obtained from all operators in 

1982. The principal occupation classifications used were: 

Farming-The operator spent 50 percent or more of his/her 

worktime in 1982 in farming or ranching. 

Other-The operator spent more than 50 percent of his/her 

worktime in 1982 in occupations other than farming or 

ranching. 

Farms by size-All farms were classified into selected size groups 

according to the total land area in the farm. The land area of a 

farm is an operating unit concept and includes land owned and 

operated as well as land rented from others. Land rented to or 

assigned to a tenant was considered the tenant's farm and not 

the owner's. 

A-8 APPENDIX A 

Farms by standard industrial classification-In 1982, all agricultural production establish ments (farms, ranches, nurseries, 

greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity or activities 

using the standard industrial classification (SIC) system. 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 4·digit industry and 3-digit industry group 

which accounts for 50 percent or more of the total value of 

sales of its agricultural products. If the total value of sales of 

agricultural products of an establishment is less than 50 percent 

from a single 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. 

Characteristics of all farms by selected SIC groupings are 

shown in State tables 15 and 50. The SIC groupings shown in 

State table 50, together with the associated products (value 

of sales representing 50 percent of more of the value of agricultural products sold during the year) on which the classification is based, are as follows: 

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

field seeds, flaxseed, lentils, mustard seed, oats, popcorn, rye, 

safflower, sorghum, and other small grains. 

Cotton (0131)-Cotton and cottonseed. 

Tobacco (0132)-Tobacco. 

Sugar crops, Irish potatoes, hay, peanuts, and other field 

crops (0133, 0134, 0139)-Sugarcane, sugar beets, Irish 

potatoes, alfalfa, broomcorn, clover, flax, hay, hops, mint, 

peanuts, sweetpotatoes, and ti mothy. 

Vegetables and melons (016)-Vegetables and melons grown 

in the open. 

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

fruits, deciduous tree fruits, avocados, dates, figs, olives, 

pineapples, and tropical fruit. 

Horticultural specialties (0 18)-Ornamental plants; nursery 

products, such as bulbs, florists' greens, flowers, shrubbery, 

flower and vegetable seeds and plants, and sod; mushrooms 

and vegetables grown under cover. 

General farms, primarily crops (0 19)-Crops, including horticultural specialties, but less than 50 percent of sales from 

any single 3-digit industry group. Includes farms with {lo 

agricultural products sold reporting cropland harvested or 

cropland on which all crops failed. 

Livestock, except dairy, poultry, and animal specialties 

(021)-Cattle, calves, hogs, sheep, goats, goat's milk, wool, 

and mohair.

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

dairy products and raising of dairy heifer replacements. 

Poultry and eggs (025)-Chickens, chicken eggs, turkeys,

livestock products, including animal specialties, but less 

than 50 percent of sales from any single 3·digit industry 

group. Includes farms with no agricultural products sold 

reporting livestock or pasture. 

STATISTICAL ADJUSTMENTS 

The 1982 Census of Agriculture used two types of statistical adjustments-nonresponse and sample. These adjustments 

were necessary because, as noted previously, not all farms were 

surveyed for all items and some farms failed to respond to the 

numerous attempts to contact them. 

Nonresponse 

Farms for which no response was obtained from the mailoutl 

mailback self-enumeration procedure were classified as "large" 

or "small" based on expected sales being above or below 

$100,000. The small nonrespondents were classified even further 

using other mail list characteristics. 

A short report form was then sent to a sample selected from 

the various classifications of small farms to obtain information 

needed to develop a State estimate of the number of nonrespondents that were in fact farms. If this second report form was 

not returned, then a telephone follow-up was attempted. 

For all large farms, a telephone follow-up was conducted. 

Some operators could not be contacted or they refused 

to cooperate. In these cases, secondary sources such as 

ASCS county offices, extension agents, and previous census 

reports were utilized whenever possible to provide reports for 

tabulation. 

State estimates of the percentage of nonrespondent farms 

were made for several strata. These estimates were then used to 

make estimates at the county level for each stratum. Respondent 

farms were then randomly selected within county stratum to 

represent the nonrespondent farms by havi ng a nonresponse 

weight of two. All other respondent farms had a nonresponse 

weight of one. 

The nonresponse adjustment procedure makes the assumption that the respondents and the nonrespondents have similar 

statistical properties. Also, the use of secondary sources for 

some large farms and the fact that a percentage of the sampled 

farms were not contacted by either mail or telephone is assumed 

not to affect the estimates for nonrespondents. 

Table A partially measures the effect of nonresponse on 

selected major items at the State level. This estimate of the nonresponse rate measures only the effect of small whole farm 

nonresponse. The effect of the adjustment for nonresponse 

due to complete non response among large farms and item 

1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

nonresponse among all farms is not included in table A. The 

percentages in table A indicate the potential for bias in published figures resulting from small farm nonresponse. However, 

large farm nonresponse does not necessarily indicate bias. 

Individual county nonresponse rates may differ substantially 

from the State value in table A. 

Sample 

Report forms containing additional sample inquiries (sections 22 through 28) were mailed to all farms in Alaska and 

Hawaii and toa sample of farms identified when the mail list 

was constructed. Other farms were selected into the sample 

with certainty because they were expected to be "large," to 

have a complex organizational structure, or to have special 

characteristics. The definition of large varied by State, from a 

low of 1,000 acres or $100,000 sales to a high of 10,000 acres 

or $500,000 sales. The median State level for the continental 

United States was 1,800 for acres and $150,000 for sales. 

Large farms identified during processing also were included with 

certainty by sending the respondents a supplemental form containing only sample questions_ In addition to large farms, all 

farms in counties containing less than 100 farms in 1978 and 

all farms in SIC groups with a small number of farms at the 

State level in 1978 whe included in the sample with certainty. 

Farms in counties containing 100 to 199 farms in 1978 were 

sampled at a rate of 1 in 2. Farms in counties containing 200 or 

more farms in 1978 were sampled at a rate of 1 in 6. 

The noncertainty samples were stratified into 128 strata 

formed by the 8 sales groups, 8 SIC groups, and 2 acre groups.

This post-stratification was done to improve precision and to 

reduce the bias in all estimates by weighting the sample farms 

within stratum by the ratio of total farms to sample farms. If 

the calculated weight was greater than 12 in counties samr--Ied 

at a rate of 1 in 6, or greater than 4 in counties sampled at a 

rate of 1 in 2, then the post-stratum was collapsed into another 

post-stratum. Collapsing of post-stratum also occurred if the 

stratum contained fewer than 10 sample farms.

APPENDIX A A-9 
Estimates were prepared for items in sections 22 through 28 

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

the sample by the sample weight assigned the farm. The weight 

for a certainty farm was 1. Sample weights for the final poststrata ranged from 1 to 24 because all exact weights (census 

total number of farms divided by the number of sample farms 

in the stratum) were converted to integers by a simple algorithm 

and then multiplied by 1 or 2 (the nonresponse weight). 

NONSAMPLING ERRORS 

Each census or survey is subject to error. In addition to 

sampling variability, errors arise from nonsample sources such 

as incorrect or incomplete reporting, processing, and the inability to obtain a report from each eligible reporting unit. For 

example, an operator may report the number of hogs and pigs 

sold but may not report the value of the sale. In other cases, 

the respondent indicated the presence of an item but not the 

quantity. The accuracy of a census count is determined by the 

joint effects of sampl ing and nonsampling errors. Thus, extensive 

efforts were made to keep errors introduced during clerical and 

electronic processing to a minimum level through the use of 

quality control, verification, and check measures on specific 

operations. 

CENSUS COVERAGE 

Although a complete and accurate count of farms, land in 

farms, and farm production is the aim of each nationwide 

census of agriculture, the complex structure of America's agriculture makes this 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 evaludtions 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 the census 

counts. The results of the coverage evaluation study were published for the 1978 census in Volume 5, Special Reports, part 3. 

An evaluation of coverage was conducted in 1982 to measure 

the extent of the undercount and overcount of farms in the 

census. A description of this evaluation will be in a separate 

Coverage Evaluation report. This report includes estimates ofthe 

net percentage of all farms, acres, and sales missed in the census. 

Classification Problems 

In 1978, the proportion of farms missed due to misclassification (1.8 percent) was higher for farms with small values of 

sales. The rate of misclassification was higher on (1) crop farms 

than livestock farms, (2) farms with a small number of acres 

than larger farms, or (3) tenant farms than full or part-owner 

farms. Full owners were misclassified more often than part 

owners. Farm operators over 55 years of age were misclassified more often than younger operators. 

A-l0 APPENDIX A 

An evaluation study of classification errors was conducted 

in the 1982 Census of Agriculture and will be reported in 

Coverage Evaluation_ A sample of mail list respondents was 

selected, and these addresses reenumerated to determine 

. whether they were a farm or nonfarm. Two types of errors were 

identified; missed farms and overcounted farms. Missed farms 

were farm operations included on the mail list but classified in 

the census as nonfarms. Overcounted operations were nonfarm operations classified in the census as farms. 

Mail List Problems 

A major problem with the use of a mail list is the failure to 

include all farms on the list. In 1978, approximately 10.8 percent of all farms were not included on the census mail list. 

There were several reasons for the farm operator's names not 

being included on the mail list-the operation may have been 

started after the mail list source was developed; the operation 

may not have been included on any source list used to construct the mail list; or the operation may have been removed 

·from the list because of incorrectly identifying duplicates or 

falsely classifying it as a nonfarm prior to mailout. 

A great many of the farms not included on the mail list were 

small in both acres and sales_ The operator in many cases had 

a full time off-farm job and farmed part time. In 1978, the 

average size of farms and sales for all farms and farms not on 

mail list is given below_

The sources of possible sampling and nonsampling errors 

have been previously discussed. Some sources affected all the 

data; others affected only certain items or geographic levels. The 

results of these errors, bias and increased variability, are difficult 

to measure. 

Census items were classified as either 1 DO-percent or sample 

items. The 100-percent items were those asked of all farm 

operators. These included land in farms, harvested cropland, 

livestock inventory and sales, and crop acreages and quantities 

(sections 1 to 21 of the census report form). Variability in the 

100-percent items is due to the variation associated with nonresponse imputation and response error. Estimation of this 

variation results in a standard error of an estimate originating 

in the selection of the sample of small nonrespondents at the 

State level. Sample items were items asked of approximately 

1 in 4 farm operators and include value of land and building, 

value of farm machinery, energy expenses, and selected farm 

production expenses, such as hired farm labor and interest 

expense (sections 22 to 28 of the census report form). Variability in estimates of sample items is the effect of the sample 

selection and estimation procedure and all the factors affecting 

the variability of 1 DO-percent items. 

In the 1982 Census of Agriculture, the sample used is one of 

a large number of all possible samples of the same size that 

could have been selected using the same sample design. Esti1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
mates derived from the different samples would differ from 

each other. The difference between a sample estimate and the 

average of all possible samples is called the sampling deviation. 

The standard or sampling error of a survey estimate is a measure 

of the variation among the estimates from all possible samples, 

and thus is a measure of the precision with which an estimate 

from a particular sample approximates the average result of 

all possible samples. The relative standard error of estimate 

(percent) is defined as the standard error of the estimate divided 

by the value being estimated. 

As calculated for this report, the standard error of the estimate (percent) partially measures the effect of certain nonsampling errors but does not measure any systematic biases 

in the data. Bias is the difference, averaged over all possible 

samples: between the estimate and the desired value. The 

accuracy of a survey result depends on both the sampling and 

nonsampling errors measured by the relative standard error of 

the estimate (percent) and the bias and other types of nonsampling error not measured. 

If all possible samples were selected, each of those 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 to two standard 

errors above the estimate would include the average 

value of all possible samples. 

To illustrate the computations involved in the above confidence statements as related to average value of land and building estimates, assume that an estimate of a average value of land 

and buildings published for a particular county is $276,741 and 

the relative standard error of the estimate (percent) for this 

estimate, as given in table D, is 2.8 percent, or 0.028. Multiplying $276,741 by 0.028 yields $7,749. Therefore, a 67-

percent confidence interval is $268,992 to $284,490 (i.e.,

$276,741 plus or minus $7,749). If corresponding confidence 

intervals were constructed for all possible samples of the same 

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

intervals would contain the figure obtained from a complete 

enumeration. Similarly, a 95-percent confidence interval is 

$261,243 to $292,239 (i.e., $276,741 plus or minus 

2 x $7,749). 

Tables Sand C present the reliability of the estimates of 

the num ber of farms reporting a 100-percent or sample item 

at the county level. Both tables contain relative standard 

errors of estimate (percent) which were weighted over all 

counties in the State to arrive at an estimated value. In county 

table 12, for example, in column 2 the number of farms 

reporting hog and pig inventory is 13. From table S, an 

approximate relative standard error of estimate (percent) for the 

number of farms reporting hogs and pigs would be 1.6. 

Table D presents State estimates of major items for all farms 

and for all farms with sales of $10,000 or more and measures 

of their reliability. The estimate and the relative standard error 

of the estimate (percent) is given for selected 100-percent and 

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

measures the variation associated with the small whole farm 

nonresponse adjustment. It does not measure census variability 

associated with complete nonresponse among large farms, partial 

or item nonresponse among all farms, response error or content 

error. The relative standard error of estimate (percent) for 

sample items measures both nonsampling and sampling error. It 

measures the variation associated with selecting a sample to 

estimate sample items as well as variability associated with 

adjustment for small farm nonresponse. The reliability of 

county estimates may vary substantially from each other and 

will usually be larger than the State estimate. 

Table E presents the estimate of reliability at the county 

level for four major 100-percent items and six sample items. The 

relative standard error of the estimate (percent) for the same 

item differs among counties in a State. Reasons for this are: 

(1) differences among counties in the total number of farms, 

(2) the number of large farms included with certainty, (3) the 

size classifications of farms sampled, (4) the amount of nonresponse, (5) the general agricultural characteristics, and (6) 

the specific characteristic being measured.

A-14 APPENDIX A 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 
APPENDIX B. 

Effect of the Area Sample on Census Comparability 

The 1982 and 1978 Censuses were conducted 

primarily by mail. Despite every effort to assemble a 

complete list, a small portion of the Nation's farms were 

not included on the census mail list. To improve the 

coverage of the 1978 Census, especially in counting the 

number of small farms, the mail-outlmail-back 

enumeration was supplemented by the direct 

enumeration of all households in a sample of areas in 

all States, except Alaska and Hawaii. Due to budget 

reductions, the direct enumeration sample was 

eliminated in the 1982 Census. 

In late 1978, enumerators visited all households in 

approximately 6,400 segments in rural areas (areas with 

less than 2,500 population) and completed a census 

form for each agricultural operation. These forms were 

then matched to the census mail list. Data from those 

cases which were not matched to the mail list were 

used to estimate the number and characteristics of 

farms not on the mail list at the State, regional, and 

national levels. No county-level estimates were 

developed because the area sample size was 

insufficient for reliable estimates at that level. 

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

the 1978 Census of Agriculture publications included 

data for farms represented on the mail list plus 

estimates from the area sample for farms not on the 

mail list. To provide comparable data for 1982 and 

1978, estimates from the area sample have been 

subtracted from the 1978 data. Thus, all 1978 data 

presented in the 1982 Census of Agriculture publications 

include data only for farms on the 1978 mail list. 

In 1978, the area sample farms accounted for 9 

percent of all farms in the United States, but only 1 

percent of the total value of agricultural products sold 

and 1 percent of the land in farms. The area sample 

farms represented 25 percent of all farms with sales of 

less than $2,500. . The contribution of the area sample 

farms to the total farm count varied widely by State, 

from a low of 2.0 percent in North Dakota to a high of 

23.8 percent in New Hampshire. 

The following table shows the 1982 results and 

adjusted 1978 data for farms on the mail list, as well as 

1978 data which include estimates for farms not on the 

mail list.
