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.
