Summary

Milk Disposition and Income:  Final Estimates by State, 1998-2002, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Statistics Board, National
Agricultural Statistics Service, Statistical Bulletin No. 996.

Introduction:  This bulletin  presents final estimates, including
revisions made by the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB), for the
production years 1998 through 2002.  The disposition and income from milk
production for 1998-2002 were published during calendar years 1999-2003. 
Data included in this publication provide a historic record and a
benchmark for current estimates.  Number of milk cows, production per
cow, total production of milk cows were published in Statistical Bulletin
No. 988. 

Procedures:  Revisions were made after a thorough review of the original
survey data and all additional data now available, including the 2002
Census of Agriculture. Other data series considered included Federal Milk
Market Orders, receipts of milk by plants and dealers, and any other
available administrative information.  The 1998-2002 estimates shown
herein are considered final and will not be revised again.

At the National level, revisions to estimates of milk production and
annual number of milk cows were less than one-half of one percent.
