below last June and account for 38 percent of the total stocks on hand.

At the time of the survey only 53 percent of the soybeans were planted. This    
compares to a five-year average of  71 percent. Therefore, the amount of seed   
in the balance sheet was lower than average.

        Reliability of June 1, 1996, Grain Stocks Estimates                     
                                                                                
Survey Procedures:  The grain stocks estimates in this report are based on      
                    surveys conducted during the first 2 weeks of June.         
Separate surveys were conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm estimates.   
The on-farm stocks survey is a probability survey that included about           
51,000 operators selected from a list of producers that ensures that all        
operations in the U.S. have a chance to be selected.  These producers were      
asked to provide the total quantities of grain on their operations as of June   
1, 1996.  This included all whole grains and oilseeds stored whether for feed,  
seed, or sale as well as any stored under a Government program.                 
                                                                                
The off-farm stocks survey is an enumeration of all known commercial grain      
storage facilities.  This includes approximately 11,100 facilities with about   
8.3 billion bushels of storage capacity.  An effort is made to obtain a report  
from all facilities.  Reports of stock holdings are normally received from      
operations covering about 90 percent of the capacity.  Estimates are made for   
missing facilities to make the survey complete.                                 
                                                                                
                                                                                
Estimation Procedures:  On-farm and off-farm survey data are reviewed at the    
                        State and national levels for reasonableness,           
consistency with historical estimates, and current crop size.  After estimates  
are made for on-farm and off-farm, the total of these two are combined and      
evaluated using the balance sheet approach.  This method utilizes other         
sources of data to check the reasonableness of the stocks estimates.            
Estimates of production, imports, exports, crushings, milling, and all other    
recorded uses of grain and oilseeds are reviewed to make sure beginning         
stocks, production, utilization, and ending stocks are within reasonable        
balance and present the best possible estimate of stocks.                       
                                                                                
                                                                                
Revision Policy:  On-farm and off-farm stocks are subject to revision the       
                  quarter following initial publication and again in the        
following December 1 "Grain Stocks" report published in January each year.      
Revisions can be made when late reports are received, errors are detected in    
reporting and calculating, and production estimates are revised.  Estimates     
will also be reviewed after data for the 5-year Census of Agriculture are       
available.  No revisions will be made after that date.                          
                                                                                
                                                                                
Reliability:  Reliability of the on-farm and off-farm stocks must be treated    
              separately because the survey design for the two surveys are      
drastically different.  The on-farm stocks estimates are subject to sampling    
variability because all operations holding on-farm stocks are not included in   
the sample.  This variability, as measured by the relative standard error at    
the U.S. level, is approximately 2.4 percent for corn, 3.5 percent for          
soybeans, and 4.3 percent for all wheat.  This means that chances are           
approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates for stocks will be within     
plus or minus 4.8 percent for corn, 7.0 percent for soybeans, and 9.6 percent   
for all wheat of the value that could be developed by averaging the estimates   
produced from all possible samples selected from the same population and        
surveyed using the same procedures.  The relative standard error for sorghum,   
barley, and oats are 9.6, 5.5, and 4.2, respectively.  Sampling errors cannot   
be applied directly to the on-farm stocks published in this report to           
determine confidence intervals since the Agricultural Statistics Board          
estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source.  
                                                                                
                                                                                
Survey estimates are also subject to non sampling errors such as omission,      
duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting,            
recording, and processing the data.  Off-farms, as well as on-farms stocks,     
are subject to these types or errors.  These errors cannot be measured          
directly, but they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data     
collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency    
and reasonableness.
