On-Farm Grain Storage Capacity

Up Slightly

The United States on-farm grain storage capacity totaled 11.1 billion bushels on December 1, 1998, up

slightly from December 1, 1997. Iowa leads all States in on-farm storage capacity with 1.60 billion

bushels followed by Illinois with 1.23 billion bushels; Minnesota, 1.18 billion bushels; Nebraska 1.05

billion bushels; and North Dakota at 750 million bushels. The top five States account for 52 percent of

the Nation’s on-farm grain storage capacity.

On-Farm grain storage capacity includes all bins, cribs, sheds, and other structures normally used to

store whole grains or oilseeds located on farms.

Off-Farm Grain Storage Capacity

Up Less Than 1 Percent

Capacity of off-farm commercial grain storage totaled 8.01 billion bushels in the United States on

December 1, 1998, up less than 1 percent from December 1, 1997. Twenty-two States and New England

showed decreases from a year earlier, 14 States recorded increases in capacity, and three were

unchanged. Expanded production of grains and oilseeds resulted in the need for increased capacity in

Iowa where an additional 42.6 million bushels were added in 1998. Other states showing increases

included Kansas 41.4, Wisconsin 14.6, and Illinois 12.5 million bushels. Capacity was taken off line in

Texas where 36.8 million bushels were dropped during 1998. Oklahoma lost 7.8 and North Dakota

6.4 million bushels.

Illinois continued to lead all States in off-farm storage capacity, followed by Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,

and Texas. The top five States accounted for 51 percent of the Nation’s off-farm storage capacity on

December 1, 1998.

Off-farm grain storage capacity includes all elevators, warehouses, terminals, merchant mills, other

storage, and oilseed crushers which store grains, soybeans, sunflowers, or flaxseed. Capacity data

excludes warehouses used to store only rice or peanuts, oilseed crushers processing only cottonseed or

peanuts, tobacco warehouses, seed warehouses, and storage that handle only dry edible beans.

Off-Farm Grain Storage Facilities

Off-farm grain storage facilities totaled 10,287 on December 1, 1998, 318 fewer than on December 1,

1997. States with the largest number of facilities are Illinois, 1,013; Kansas, 876; Minnesota, 676;

Texas, 550; and Iowa, 552.

Data users are advised that some differences may exist between the procedures used for making counts

of facilities. In a few instances, the count includes Headquarters operations which report for more than

one facility. This does not affect the data on total capacity.

Reliability of December 1, 1998, Grain Stocks Estimates

Survey Procedures: The grain stocks estimates in this report are based on surveys conducted during the

first 2 weeks of December. Separate surveys were conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm

estimates. The on-farm stocks survey is a probability survey that included over

50,000 operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the U.S. have a chance to

be selected. These producers were asked to provide the total quantities of grain stored on their

operations as of December 1, 1998. 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 10,300 facilities with about 8.00 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. Revisions for 1993-1998 have been published in

“SB 948, Stocks of Grains, Oilseeds, and Hay, Final Estimates 1993-1998". This report was released

on December 18, 1998. No revisions to these years 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 1.3 percent for corn,

1.6 percent for soybeans, and 1.9 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 2.6 percent for corn, 3.2 percent

for soybeans, and 3.8 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 errors for sorghum, barley, and oats are 5.3, 3.5, and 3.4, 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 indications 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-farm, as well as on-farm

stocks, are subject to these types of 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.
