Acknowledgments 

The success of the census of agriculture is directly dependent upon the participation of America’s farmers 

and ranchers, and we are grateful for every agricultural operator who furnished the information requested. 

Their cooperation and support helped make the 2007 Census of Agriculture the most successful count in 

history. It was their future, their voice, and their responsibility and they spoke out for their farms and their 

industry. 

The 2007 census was the most comprehensive effort to date to reach all agriculture operations, regardless 

of size. We appreciate our relationship with the American Indian community and the many community 

based organizations across the country that helped educate their constituents about the importance of the 

census. Their support aided greatly in our efforts. 

Additionally, there were many organizations and partners who recognize the importance of good data and 

helped encourage producers to respond. The farm organizations, stakeholder groups, and agricultural 

media were instrumental in building awareness of the census and encouraging farmers and ranchers to 

participate. They truly were effective partners driving the message that the census is every producer’s 

voice, future, and responsibility. 

Other USDA agencies and representatives from State departments of agriculture offered invaluable advice 

during the planning, data collection, and processing phases of the census. They also provided critical 

assistance at the local level to farmers and ranchers completing census forms. Special thanks are extended 

to the enumerators who collect data locally through NASS’s cooperative agreement with the National 

Association of State Departments of Agriculture. By helping NASS build and maintain quality 

relationships with our primary stakeholders, the enumerators are important contributors to quality 

statistics. 

Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and representatives of both public and 

private organizations offered recommendations on census content. NASS appreciates their strong and 

consistent support for our programs. 

Finally, NASS acknowledges the services provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National 

Processing Center in Jeffersonville, IN.

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION VII

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Introduction 

HISTORY 

For 156 years (1840 - 1996), the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Bureau of the Census was responsible 

for collecting census of agriculture data. The 1997 

Appropriations Act contained a provision that 

transferred the responsibility for the census of 

agriculture from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S. 

Department of Agriculture (USDA), National 

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The 2007 

Census of Agriculture is the 27th Federal census of 

agriculture and the third conducted by NASS. 

The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part 

of the sixth decennial census of population. The 

agriculture census continued to be taken as part of 

the decennial census through 1950. A separate middecade census of agriculture was conducted in 1925, 

1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, the census 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 so that it coincided with other economic 

censuses. This adjustment in timing established the 

agriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting data 

for years ending in 2 and 7. 

USES OF CENSUS DATA 

The census of agriculture is the leading source of 

facts and statistics about the Nation’s agricultural 

production. It provides a detailed picture of U.S. 

farms and ranches every five years and is the only 

source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data 

for every State and county or county equivalent in 

the U.S. 

Agriculture census data are routinely used by farm 

organizations, businesses, State departments of 

agriculture, elected representatives and legislative 

bodies at all levels of government, public and private 

sector analysts, the news media, and colleges and 

universities. Agriculture census data are used to: 

• Evaluate, change, promote, and formulate farm 

and rural policies and programs that help 

agricultural producers; 

• Study historical trends, assess current conditions, 

and plan for the future; 

• Formulate market strategies, provide more 

efficient production and distribution systems, and 

locate facilities for agricultural communities; 

• Make energy projections and forecast needs for 

agricultural producers and their communities; 

• Develop new and improved methods to increase 

agricultural production and profitability; 

• Allocate local and national funds for farm 

programs, e.g. extension service projects, 

agricultural research, soil conservation programs, 

and land-grant colleges and universities; 

• Plan for operations during drought and 

emergency outbreaks of diseases or infestations 

of pests. 

• Analyze and report on the current state of food, 

fuel, feed, and fiber production in the United 

States. 

In addition agricultural news media and agricultural 

associations use census data as background material 

for stories and articles on U.S. agriculture and the 

foods we produce. 

AUTHORITY 

The 2007 Census of Agriculture is required by law 
 

VIII INTRODUCTION 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

under the “Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,” 

Public Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, 

Section 2204g). The law directs the Secretary of 

Agriculture to conduct a census of agriculture in 

1998 and in every fifth year after, covering the prior 

year. The census of agriculture includes each State, 

Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the 

Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and 

American Samoa. 

FARM DEFINITION 

The census definition of a farm is any place from 

which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were 

produced and sold, or normally would have been 

sold, during the census year. The definition has 

changed nine times since it was established in 1850. 

The current definition was first used for the 1974 

Census of Agriculture and has been used in each 

subsequent agriculture census. This definition is 

consistent with the definition used for current USDA 

surveys. The farm definition used for each U.S. 

territory varies. The report for each territory 

includes a discussion of its farm definition. 

DATA COMPARABILITY

Most data are comparable between the 2007 and 

2002 censuses. A few changes were made to the 

2007 census that affect comparability for some data 

items. See Appendix B, General Explanation and 

Census of Agriculture Report Form, Data Changes 

for a detailed discussion of these changes. Dollar 

figures are expressed in current dollars and have not 

been adjusted for inflation or deflation. In general, 

data for censuses since 1974 are not fully 

comparable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses 

due to changes in the farm definition. 

REFERENCE PERIOD 

Reference periods for the 2007 Census of 

Agriculture were similar to those used in the 2002 

Census of Agriculture. Reference periods used 

were: 

• Crop production is measured for the calendar 

year, except for a few crops such as avocados, 

citrus, and olives for which the production year 

overlaps the calendar year. See Appendix B, 

General Explanation and Census of Agriculture 

Report Form for details. 

• Livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment 

inventories, market value of land and buildings, 

and grain storage capacity are measured as of 

December 31 of the census year. 

• Crop and livestock sales, farm expenses, income 

from federal farm programs, irrigation, 

Commodity Credit Corporation loans, 

Conservation Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement, and 

Wetlands Reserve Program participation, direct 

sales income, chemical and fertilizer use, farmrelated income, and hired farm labor data are 

measured for the calendar year. 

TABLES AND APPENDICES 

Chapter 1. Table 1 shows state-level historical data 

through the 1978 census and tables 2 through 57 

show detailed state-level data usually accompanied 

by historical data from the 2002 census. Tables 58 

through 65 show detailed state-level data crosstabulated by several categories for the 2007 census 

only. 

Chapter 2. County-level data are presented in 56 

tables in 2 different table formats - county and 

county summary. Most tables include 2002 historical 

data. County tables include general data for all 

counties within the State. The county names are 

listed in alphabetical order in the column headings. 

County summary tables provide comprehensive data 

for all counties reporting a data item. 

Appendix A. Provides information about data 

collection and data processing activities and 

discusses the statistical methodology used in 

conducting and evaluating the census. Table A 

summarizes coverage adjustment for selected items 

for the State. Table B provides reliability estimates 

of State totals for selected items. Table C 

summarizes coverage adjustment for selected items 

at the county level. Table D provides total number 

of American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators 

both on and off reservations by county. 

Appendix B. Includes definitions of specific terms

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

and phrases used in this publication, including items 

in the publication tables that carry the note "see 

text." It also provides facsimiles of the report form 

and instruction sheet used to collect data. 

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY 

In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the 

United States Code, no data are published that would 

disclose information about the operations of an 

individual farm or ranch. All tabulated data are 

subjected to an extensive disclosure review prior to 

publication. Any tabulated item that identifies data 

reported by a respondent or allows a respondent’s 

data to be accurately estimated or derived, was 

suppressed and coded with a ‘D’. However, the 

number of farms reporting an item is not considered 

confidential information and is provided even though 

other information is withheld. 

SPECIAL EFFORTS DIRECTED 

AT MINORITIES 

NASS implemented several activities to improve 

coverage of minority farm operators. These 

activities included, but were not limited to: 

• Obtaining mail lists from organizations likely to 

contain names and addresses of minority farm 

operators; and 

• Conducting pre-census promotion activities that 

targeted women, American Indian and Alaska 

Native, Black and African American, and 

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin farm 

operators; and 

• In 2002 an initial effort was made to collect data 

from individual operators on American Indian 

reservations in three States. In 2007 this effort 

was expanded to attempt to collect data from 

operators on reservations in all States with 

reservations; and 

• Producing a Spanish report form version for Field 

Office and enumerator use. 

SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM 

TABULATIONS 

Special studies such as the 2008 Farm and Ranch 

Irrigation Survey, the 2008 Organic Production 

Survey, the 2009 Census of Horticultural Specialties, 

the 2010 Census of Aquaculture, and the 2010 Land 

and Economic Stability Survey are part of the census 

program and provide supplemental information to 

the 2007 Census of Agriculture in the respective 

subject area. Results are published in print and on 

the internet. 

Custom-designed tabulations may be developed 

when data are not published elsewhere. These 

tabulations are developed to individual user 

specifications on a cost-reimbursable basis and 

shared with the public. The census Volume 1 on 

CD-ROM is an alternative data source that should be 

investigated before requesting a custom tabulation. 

All special studies and custom tabulations are subject 

to a thorough disclosure review prior to release to 

prevent the disclosure of any individual respondent 

data. Requests for custom tabulations can be 

submitted via the internet from the NASS home 

page, by mail, or by e-mail to:

Census of Agriculture Methodology 

THE CENSUS POPULATION 

The Census Mail List 

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 

maintains a list of farmers and ranchers from which 

the Census Mail List (CML) is compiled. The goal is 

to build as complete a list as possible of agricultural 

places that meet the NASS farm definition, that is, an 

operation that produces, or would normally produce 

and sell, $1,000 or more of agricultural products per 

year. The CML compilation begins with the list 

used to define sampling populations for NASS 

surveys conducted for the agricultural estimates 

program. Each record on the list includes name, 

address, and telephone number plus additional 

information that are used to efficiently administer the 

census of agriculture and agricultural estimates 

programs. 

NASS builds and improves the list on an ongoing 

basis by obtaining outside source lists. Sources 

include State and federal government lists, producer 

association lists, seed grower lists, pesticide 

applicator lists, veterinarian lists, marketing 

association lists, and a variety of other agriculturerelated lists. NASS also obtains special commodity 

lists to address specific list deficiencies. These 

outside source lists are matched to the NASS list 

using record linkage programs. Most names on 

newly acquired lists are already on the NASS list. 

Records not on the NASS list are treated as potential 

farms until NASS can confirm their existence as a 

qualifying farm. Staff in NASS field offices 

routinely contact these potential farms to determine 

if they meet the NASS farm definition. For the 2007 

Census of Agriculture, NASS made a concerted 

effort to work with Community-Based Organizations 

not only to improve list coverage for minorities but 

also to increase census awareness and participation. 

List building activities for developing the 2007 CML 

started in 2004. Between 2004 and 2007, NASS 

conducted a series of Agricultural Identification 

Surveys (AIS) on approximately 1.7 million records, 

which included nonrespondents from the 2002 

census and newly added records from outside list 

sources. The AIS report form collected information 

that was used to determine if an operation met the 

NASS farm definition. If the definition was met, the 

operation was added to the NASS list and 

subsequently to the CML. Addressees that were 

nonrespondents were also added to the CML and 

identified with a special status code. 

Measures were taken to improve name and address 

quality. Additional record linkage programs were 

run to detect and remove duplicate records both 

within each State and across States. List addresses 

were processed through the National Change of 

Address Registry and the Locatable Address 

Conversion System to ensure they were correct and 

complete. Records on the list with missing or 

invalid phone numbers were matched against a 

nationally available telephone database to obtain as 

many phone numbers as possible. 

The official CML was established on September 1, 

2007. The list contained 3,194,373 records. There 

were 2,198,410 records that were thought to meet the 

NASS farm definition and 995,963 potential farm 

records, which included AIS nonrespondents, other 

records added to the CML by the NASS field offices, 

and late adds to the CML that were not included in 

any previous AIS or State screening survey. 

Not on the Mail List 

To account for farming operations not on the CML, 

NASS used its area frame. The NASS area frame 

covers all land in the U.S. and includes all farms. 

The land in the U.S. is stratified by characteristics of 

the land. Segments of approximately equal size are 
 

A-2 APPENDIX A 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

delineated within each strata and designated on aerial 

photographs. A probability sample of segments is 

drawn within each strata for the NASS annual area 

frame survey, known as the June Agricultural Survey 

(JAS). The JAS sample of segments is allocated to 

strata to provide accurate measures of acres planted 

to widely grown crops and inventories of hogs and 

cattle. Sampled segments in the June Survey are 

personally enumerated. Each operation identified 

within a segment boundary is known as a tract. 

The 2007 JAS sample was allocated to strata so that 

it would provide additional measures of small and 

minority owned farms. The 2007 JAS consisted of 

10,912 regular sampled segments, supplemented 

with 3,692 Agricultural Coverage Evaluation Survey 

(ACES) segments – segments selected to provide 

measures of small and minority owned farms. These 

additional ACES segments targeted farming 

demographics that typically had lower coverage rates 

on the list. 

The information from each tract (operation) within a 

segment is matched against operations on the NASS 

list to determine the amount of undercoverage that 

exists for a wide range of farming sectors and farmer 

demographics. The names and addresses collected in 

the 2007 JAS and 2007 ACES were matched to the 

CML and checked for duplication. Farms from the 

June 2007 survey that did not match were 

determined to be Not on the Mail List (NML) and 

sent a report form of a different color to be easily 

identified. Data from the NML operations provided 

a measure of the undercoverage of the CML 

operations. Instructions on the census report form 

guided the respondent to complete the CML form 

and mail back both CML and NML forms together if 

duplicate forms were received. Those who returned 

a CML census form and an NML census form had 

been erroneously classified as NML and were 

removed from the NML. 

The percentage of farms not represented on the CML 

varied considerably by State. In general, farms not 

on the mail list tended to be small in acreage, 

production, and sales of agricultural products. Farm 

operations were missed for various reasons, 

including the possibility that the operation started 

after the mail list was developed, the operation was 

so small that it did not appear in any agriculturerelated source lists, or the operation was erroneously 

classified as a nonfarm prior to mailout. 

The NML consisted of 12,821 tracts. The CML was 

used with the NML in multiple frame estimation to 

represent all farming operations across all States, 

with the exception of Alaska. It is financially and 

logistically unfeasible to maintain an area frame in 

Alaska due to its vast land mass and relatively sparse 

agriculture. 

DATA COLLECTION 

Method of Enumeration 

Mailout and mailback was the primary data 

collection method. It was supplemented with 

Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) on the Internet and 

non-response follow-ups by telephone and personal 

enumeration. The enumeration methods used in the 

2007 census were similar to those used in the 2002 

census. 

Report Forms 

A master report form was developed that included all 

data items to be collected in the census. From the 

master, two types of report forms were developed to 

be used in the 2007 census - a regionalized report 

form with 7 versions and a national report form. 

Each of the 24-page regionalized report forms (07-

A0201, 07-A0202, 07-A0203, 07-A0204, 07-A0205, 

07-A0206, 07-A0207) were designed to facilitate 

reporting crops most commonly grown within the 

report form region. The 12-page national report 

form (07-A0100) was designed for operations 

throughout the country with few commodities. The 

national report form collected the same information 

as the regional form, but it was formatted to fit on 

fewer pages. All of the forms allowed respondents 

to write in specific commodities that were not 

identified on their form. The national form was 

mailed to approximately 528,000 addresses on the 

CML (about 20 percent) and the regional form was 

mailed to 2.67 million addresses on the CML (about 

80 percent). 

Report Form Mailings and Respondent 

Follow-up 

The initial mailout took place at the end of 

December 2007. Approximately 3.2 million packets 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

were mailed. Each packet contained a cover letter, 

instruction sheet, a labeled report form, and a return 

envelope. Mailout packet preparation, initial 

mailout, and two follow-up mailings to 

nonrespondents were handled by the Census 

Bureau’s National Processing Center (NPC) in 

Jeffersonville, IN. The first follow-up was mailed 

during the last two weeks of February 2008 to 

approximately 1.3 million nonrespondents. The 

second follow-up was mailed the beginning of April 

2008 to approximately 1.0 million nonrespondents. 

Additionally, NPC received, checked-in, scanned, 

and keyed (from image) returned report forms. 

NASS statisticians on site at NPC provided technical 

guidance and monitored NPC processing activities. 

Select groups of census records were identified to 

receive special handling procedures. Report forms 

were labeled at NPC and shipped to the field offices 

for enumeration. These respondents were excluded 

from the initial and both follow-up mailings, and 

were referred to as “must” operations. Each "must" 

operation was enumerated by telephone or face-toface. If a record was determined to be no longer in 

operation, their non-farm status was verified and 

documented. The field offices were responsible for 

enumerating or resolving all non-response "must" 

records in their State. Computer Assisted Telephone 

Interview (CATI) calling for nonrespondent "must" 

records was conducted between March 2008 and 

June 2008. Once enumerated, the report forms were 

either sent to NPC for check-in and data capture or 

the data were keyed directly from the form at the 

field office. The 169,000 “must” records fell into one 

of five groups. 

The first "must" group consisted of 46,000 records 

“tagged” by the NASS field offices for personal 

enumeration rather than mailout and mailback 

enumeration. The second "must" group consisted of 

4,000 "specialized" records including such 

operations as grazing associations, governmental 

units, research farms, college farms, etc.. The third 

"must" group was characterized by location. All 

3,000 records in Alaska and Rhode Island were 

identified as "must" records because census statistics 

for these two States were based on responses to the 

CML because nonresponse was not permitted. The 

last two groups consisted of a total of 116,000 

records expected to have either a large number of 

acres in farm land or a large value of sales. 

Threshold levels were identified for each State. 

Advanced Follow-up was conducted between 

February 2008 and April 2008. It focused on three 

groups of nonrespondents that included: respondents 

least likely to respond because they were 

nonrespondents to the 1997 and 2002 Censuses of 

Agriculture, even though they may have responded 

to other NASS surveys; respondents viewed as easy 

and quick interviews based on expected sales of 

zero, including respondents who received 

Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) payments and 

respondents to the AIS with expected future sales; 

and new records whose farm status was uncertain 

due to unsuccessful earlier screening attempts. The 

field offices conducted CATI and field enumeration 

for operations in their State. This phase was followed 

by Low-Response County Follow-up to attempt to 

reach a minimum response rate of at least 75 percent 

in all counties. It was conducted by the field offices 

using CATI between March 2008 and June 2008. 

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND 

PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS 

NASS engaged in an unprecedented level of public 

outreach for the 2007 Census of Agriculture, seeking 

to increase the level of awareness and response 

among U.S. agricultural producers and, in particular, 

minority and small farm operators. This was 

accomplished through an integrated marketing 

communications program that focused on four 

primary areas: partnership building, public relations, 

paid media, and the Internet. External support was 

provided by a private agricultural marketing 

communications agency. 

The unifying force behind the 2007 marketing 

campaign was the theme “Your Voice, Your Future, 

Your Responsibility.” This was accompanied by 

supporting messages and artwork that created a 

consistent look and feel for all census 

communications. 

Partnership 

At the national level, NASS officials met with 

leaders from dozens of key agricultural organizations 

and other USDA agencies, successfully securing 
 

A-4 APPENDIX A 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

their support in promoting the census among their 

constituencies through publications, special 

mailings, speeches, and other communications. In 

addition, NASS made special efforts to reach out to 

minority and limited-resource farmers and ranchers 

by partnering with a number of community-based 

organizations. The national-level outreach was 

mirrored by field offices at the State and local levels. 

Among the features of these collective efforts was 

the production of State-specific radio public service 

announcements (PSAs) featuring State secretaries 

and commissioners of agriculture, as well as a 

national radio PSA featuring the U.S. Secretary of 

Agriculture. 

Coverage of American Indian and Alaska 

Native Farm Operators 

To maximize coverage of American Indian and 

Alaska Native farm operators, special procedures 

were followed in the census. A concerted effort was 

made to get individual reports from every American 

Indian and Alaska Native farm operator in the 

country. If this was not possible within some 

reservations, a single reservation-level census report 

was obtained from knowledgeable reservation 

officials. These reports covered agricultural activity 

on the entire reservation. NASS reviewed these data 

and removed duplication with any data reported by 

American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators 

who responded on an individual census report form. 

Additionally NASS obtained, from knowledgeable 

reservation officials, the count of American Indian 

and Alaska Native farm operators (on reservations) 

who were not counted through individual census 

report forms, but whose agricultural activity was 

included in the reservation-level report form. 

This information is summarized in Table D, 

American Indian and Alaska Native Operators: 

2007 (Table A in the Alaska publication), providing 

the number of farm operators (for up to three 

operators per farm) reported as American Indian or 

Alaska Native in the race category, either as a single 

race or in combination with other races, on the 

individual census report forms, plus the total number 

of American Indian or Alaska Native operators 

farming on reservations as reported by reservation 

officials. The count from the individual report 

forms is summarized in the “Individually reported” 

column. It includes operators on or off reservations. 

The “Other” column provides counts of operators on 

reservations as reported by a reservation or tribal 

official. The “Total” column is simply a sum of the 

“Individually reported” and the “Other” columns. 

Tables in other parts of the publication count the 

reservation-level reports as single farms. 

Public Relations 

In the public relations arena, NASS and the 

contractor worked with the agriculture media at the 

national level and equipped NASS’s 46 field offices 

with communications tools that enabled them to 

deliver the right message to producers in their States. 

From customizable press releases, to radio public 

service announcements, to a video news release, to 

newsletter articles and letters to the editor, the public 

relations strategy was designed to ensure NASS 

fields offices could easily and effectively deliver the 

census message to local media. As a result, in the 

print media alone, the public relations efforts 

generated 27 million media impressions. 

Paid Media 

Because there were certain constituencies that were 

difficult to reach through partnership or public 

relations, NASS also employed a paid media strategy 

that was narrowly targeted to reach previously 

under-represented populations. NASS purchased 

limited print and radio advertising in areas where 

there were high concentrations of minority farmers 

and where 2002 census response rates were low. 

Internet 

For the 2007 census, NASS created a dedicated 

website, www.agcensus.usda.gov. This became a 

repository for all types of census information, 

including basic background materials, previous 

years’ census data, sample report forms, and news 

releases and other publicity materials. The website 

also enabled individuals to submit their contact 

information to ensure that they were on the mailing 

list to receive a census form. NASS also enhanced 

its online presence by purchasing banner ads and 

pay-per-click advertisements on key agricultural 

websites as well as major search engines. 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

REPORT FORM PROCESSING 

Data Capture 

All report forms returned to NPC were immediately 

checked in, using bar codes printed on the mailing 

label, and removed from follow up mailings. All 

forms with any data were scanned and an image was 

made of each page of a report form. Optical Mark 

Recognition (OMR) was used to capture categorical 

responses and to identify the other answer zones in 

which some type of mark was present. 

Data entry operators keyed data from the scanned 

images using OMR results that highlighted the areas 

of the report forms with respondent entries. The 

keyer evaluated the contents and captured pertinent 

responses. Ten percent of the captured data were 

keyed a second time for quality control. If 

differences existed between the first keyed value and 

the second, an adjudicator handled resolution. The 

decision of the adjudicator was used to grade the 

performance of the keyers, who were required to 

maintain a certain accuracy level. 

The images and the captured data were transferred to 

NASS’s centralized network and became available to 

field offices and headquarters on a flow basis. The 

images were available for use in all stages of review. 

Images were computer generated for reports 

obtained from the telephone interviews and the 

Internet. 

Editing Data 

Captured data were processed through a format 

program. The program verified that record 

identifiers were valid and checked the basic integrity 

of the data fields. Rejected records were referred to 

analysts for correction. Accepted records were sent 

to a batch edit process. Each execution of the 

computer edit in batch mode consisted of records 

from only one State and flowed as the data were 

received from NPC. 

All 2007 census records were passed through a 

complex computer edit. The edit determined 

whether a reporting operation met the minimum 

criteria to be counted as a qualifying farm (in-scope). 

Operations failing to meet the minimum criteria (outof-scope) were referred to analysts for verification. 

The edit examined each in-scope record for 

reasonableness and completeness and determined 

whether to accept the recorded value for each data 

item or take corrective action. Actions included 

removing erroneously reported values, replacing an 

unreasonable value with one consistent with other 

reported data, or providing a value for an overlooked 

item. To the extent possible, the edit determined a 

replacement value. Strategies for determining 

replacement values are discussed in the next section. 

The edit systematically checked reported data 

section-by-section with the overall objective of 

achieving an internally consistent and complete 

report. NASS subject-matter experts defined the 

criteria for acceptable data. Problems that could not 

be resolved within the edit were referred to an 

analyst for intervention. Analysts in the NASS field 

offices used additional information sources, 

examined the scanned image, and determined an 

appropriate action. Field office analysts used an 

interactive version of the edit program to submit 

corrected data and immediately re-edit the record to 

ensure a satisfactory solution. 

Imputing for Missing Data 

Missing data occurred whenever a respondent failed 

to report in a cell that should have a positive value or 

when the edit determined a value was not reasonable 

and should be changed. The edit performed a 

sequence of steps that determined the best value to 

impute for the missing item. If an item could not be 

calculated directly from other data reported on the 

current form, the edit checked for previously 

reported data. Acreage, production, and inventory 

items may have been reported on a recent NASS 

crop or livestock survey. Operator characteristics, 

such as race and gender, were brought forward from 

the previous census if the operator had not changed 

in five years. Administrative data from the Farm 

Service Agency was used for a few items, such as 

Conservation Reserve Program acreage. When these 

deterministic sources failed to produce a solution, 

the edit invoked an automated imputation system 

which searched for a reporting farm of similar type, 

size, and location to provide a value for the missing 

data item. If the imputation algorithm failed to 

provide a solution, the record was referred to an 

analyst for resolution. 
 

A-6 APPENDIX A 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

The guiding principal for imputation was to find a 

close match to the farm with the missing item. The 

census imputation algorithm relied on preestablished donor pools, one for each State. A donor 

pool included a collection of completed reports that 

had successfully navigated the edit. Each pool was 

further divided into groups of similar type and size, 

referred to as profiles. When the edit determined the 

need to impute an item, it went to the appropriate 

profile and searched for the best fit. Best fit was 

determined by calculating “distance” between the 

incomplete report and each candidate donor using a 

set of match variables. Match variables were 

specific to each section of the report form and 

included the latitude and longitude of the principal 

county of operation. The distance was the sum of 

the squared differences between the reported values 

of the match variables. The donor with the smallest 

distance was considered the “nearest neighbor” and 

became the source for the imputation action. The 

value returned may have been a direct copy of the 

donor’s value. In many cases, a relationship 

between two related variables on the donor record 

was applied to a reported value on the incomplete 

record. Using crop production as an example, the 

donor’s production was divided by its harvested 

acres (yield) and multiplied by the recipient’s 

harvested acres to obtain imputed production. 

The imputation process was imbedded in the edit. 

When the edit determined an item required 

imputation, the edit program launched the algorithm, 

waited for a value to be returned, validated that the 

returned value was satisfactory, and resumed editing. 

Since imputation was conducted independently for 

each occurrence, reports requiring multiple 

imputations drew from multiple donors. 

Initial donor pools were established before the first 

batch edits were run. These donor pools were 

“seeded” with 2002 census data that were “mapped” 

to look like 2007 data and passed through the 2007 

edit to ensure they were consistent using the 2007 

data relationships. In addition, data from the 2005 

Census Content Test were similarly mapped and 

edited. As 2007 data were successfully processed, 

new records systematically replaced the older 

records in the donor pool. The older records 

disappeared entirely from the donor pool after the 

first few batch edits. 

The donor pool for each State was refreshed weekly 

during the first couple of months of editing. As the 

flow of new data slowed, the donor pools were 

refreshed biweekly. During the early stages of 

editing, records that needed to impute production for 

field crops or hay were set aside. When the donor 

pool no longer contained old data, these records were 

brought back and passed through the edit, ensuring 

2007 yields were imputed.

In some cases, nearest-neighbor imputation was not 

possible. The requirement of a positive imputed 

value could have ruled out all available donors, 

resulting in an imputation failure. An imputation 

failure could have occurred if there were no donors 

in the same profile as the report being edited. 

Records with imputation failures were either held 

until more records were available in the donor pool 

or referred to an analyst. 

Data Analysis 

The complex edit ensured the full internal 

consistency of the record. Successfully completing 

the edit did not provide insight as to whether the 

report was reasonable compared to other reports in 

the county. Analysts were provided an additional set 

of tools, in the form of listings and graphs, to review 

record-level data across farms. These examinations 

revealed extreme outliers, large and small, or unique 

data distribution patterns that were possibly a result 

of reporting, recording, or handling errors. Potential 

problems were researched and, when necessary, 

corrections were made and the record interactively 

edited again. 

WHOLE FARM NONRESPONSE 

ESTIMATION 

Whole farm nonresponse adjustments were 

necessary because some farm operators did not 

respond to the census, despite numerous attempts to 

contact them. Statistical estimation procedures were 

used to account for these CML nonrespondents. The 

objectives of the nonresponse adjustments included 

estimating the number of in-scope records (farms) 

included in the total number of nonrespondents of a 

similar size and type by increasing the weights of 

reporting farms of that size and type. This procedure 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-7

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

was intended to account for those farms that failed to 

return a report form. These procedures were applied 

in all States, except Alaska and Rhode Island where 

staff were required to submit data for every record 

on the CML due to the low level of farming 

operations in these States. Large or unique farms 

(Must records) for which a report was required (and 

thus given a nonresponse weight of one) were 

exempt from this weighting procedure. These farms 

received intensive follow-ups. Data were imputed 

for the record if all followup contacts failed (rather 

than using the nonresponse weighting procedure). 

After census data collection was completed, all CML 

records in a State were put into mutually exclusive 

weighting groups based on a list of farm 

characteristics known at the time of mail-out and the 

census response status of the record. Data mining 

techniques systematically checked selected variables, 

identifying those groups with differences in response 

rates that were statistically significant. The 

algorithm would take one characteristic, divide all 

names into two groups, and check for statistical 

significance between the response rates of the two 

groups. If a significant difference was found, these 

groups became permanent and the next characteristic 

would be examined within those two groups. If the 

response rate between two groups was not 

statistically significant, the groups were rejoined and 

the next characteristic was tested. This stepwise 

process continued until all characteristics were 

checked and no further statistical significance could 

be found. Since the “path” taken by the algorithm 

was driven by an individual State’s response pattern, 

the final breakout of weighting groups was 

customized for the State. 

Within each weighting group, the percent of 

responding in-scope farms was computed. This rate 

was applied to the count of nonresponding farms to 

estimate the number of in-scope nonrespondents. 

The weights of the responding in-scope farms in 

each weighting group were scaled to account for 

nonresponding farms in that group. 

This procedure was applied to all of the weighting 

groups except the one that consisted primarily of 

records who were included on the CML but had not 

responded to data collection efforts either during 

CML development activities or during the census 

data collection phase. The estimate of in-scope 

records (farms) within this group was not reliable. 

To get a more reliable estimate, NASS conducted a 

nonresponse follow-up activity. After scheduled 

census data collection efforts were completed, a 

target sample of 5,000 records was selected from 

across all States. These 5,000 records were 

personally interviewed by NASS staff to determine if 

they were indeed in-scope records (farm) or out-ofscope records (nonfarm). Each record fell into one of 

these two categories. The percent of in-scope records 

was used to form the weight for this group. 

When NASS summarizes the census of agriculture, it 

assigns the data from an individual report to the 

“principal” county. The principal county is the one 

county in which the majority of agricultural products 

are produced from a respondent. This is a question 

on the census report form and is therefore 

determined by the respondent. Because some large 

operations have significant production in multiple 

counties, some reports were broken up into multiple 

source counties, to more accurately allocate the data. 

Similarly, large farms operating in more than one 

State were treated as distinct, state-specific 

operations. A separate report form was completed 

for each county or State and a separate record was 

added.

The percent of the total that came from the whole 

farm nonresponse estimate is shown for selected 

census data items in Tables A and C. The estimates 

provided in Tables A and C do not reflect the effect 

of item nonresponse on individual census data items. 

The effect of this item nonresponse is discussed in 

the section on “Item Nonresponse” in “Nonmeasured 

Census Error.” 

COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT

Although much effort was expended making the 

CML as complete as possible, the census did not 

count all U.S. farms. NASS’s goal was to produce 

agricultural census totals for publication that were 

fully adjusted for list undercoverage at the county 

level. NASS used its area frame with the CML in a 

dual-frame estimation procedure to measure the 

number of farms in the population and key 

characteristics of those farms. Area frame segments 

were enumerated using field enumerators (as 
 

A-8 APPENDIX A 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

described in the first section of this appendix) who 

personally visited the tract operators within a 

segment. Because field enumeration is significantly 

more expensive than other modes of data collection, 

NASS’s area frame sample allocation is only 

designed to generate reliable estimates at the State, 

regional, and U.S. level. Therefore, in order to 

produce estimates that represented all farms at the 

county level, NASS used an allocation process 

known as “calibration” to distribute the dual-frame 

estimates across counties. 

Once all CML and NML data were collected, NASS 

analysts went through an extensive process to 

generate adjusted estimates. The weights of the CML 

respondents had been previously adjusted to account 

for all of the CML nonrespondents, referred to as list 

plus nonresponse (CML+NR). Simultaneously, 

NASS summarized the NML tract records to 

generate state-level NML survey estimates. These 

two pieces were then combined in a dual-frame 

estimation procedure to form State estimates of totals 

that represented all farms. These estimates are 

annotated as [(CML+NR) +NML]. The state-level 

totals for these variables were summed to yield 

national totals. 

The whole farm nonresponse and list undercoverage 

record weighting processes were initially applied at 

the State level to produce adjusted estimates of farm 

numbers and land in farms for 65 different categories 

of 8 characteristics of the farm operation or the farm 

operator -- value of agricultural sales (8); age (2); 

female; race (4); Hispanic origin of principal farm 

operator; total number of farms and land in farms 

(2); 4 sales categories for each of 10 major 

commodities (40); and 7 farm type groups. The 

national-level adjusted estimates were smoothed 

across States to get initial State farm operation 

coverage targets because state-level farm-count 

estimates based on this two-piece formula sometimes 

had unacceptably high state-level standard errors and 

apparent biases. This often occurs when estimating a 

rare item, such as female farm operators, using a 

general purpose survey. 

 

The smoothing process examined the proportion of 

the total JAS estimate attributable to the NML, for 

each of the 65 variables in each State and the U.S. 

Since the CML was built using standard national 

methods, the NML percentages were expected to be 

uniform across States. The smoothed NML value for 

each of the 65 variables in a given State was 

calculated as the product of the state-level NML 

value and the weighted average of the ratios of the 

NML for a given variable in the State to the overall 

NML in the State and the NML for the given 

variable in the U.S. to the overall NML in the U.S. 

The weighting factor was chosen to minimize the 

mean square error under a random effects model 

with the control that the sum of the State smoothed 

NML values was equal to the total NML estimate for 

each of the 65 variables. This methodology 

effectively draws the state-level NML undercoverage 

proportions of the JAS toward the national estimate 

of undercoverage with the most extreme values 

adjusted the most. The smoothed NML values for 

each variable were added to the (CML + NR) totals 

to form calibration targets for each variable. 

Subject-matter experts in headquarters reviewed all 

targets. 

However, these State estimates were general purpose 

in that they did not provide any control over 

expected levels of commodity production of the farm 

operation. As a result of this limitation, the 

procedures could have over adjusted or under 

adjusted for commodity production. To address this, 

a second set of variables were added to the 

calibration algorithm, known as commodity 

coverage targets. These targets were commodity 

totals from administrative sources or from NASS 

surveys of non-farm populations (e.g. USDA Farm 

Service Agency program data, Agricultural 

Marketing Service market orders, livestock slaughter 

data, cotton ginning data). The introduction of these 

commodity coverage targets strengthened the overall 

adjustment procedure by ensuring that major 

commodity totals remained within reasonable 

bounds of established benchmarks. Commodity 

coverage targets with acceptable ranges were 

established by subject-matter experts for each State 

with New England treated as a State. 

The calibration algorithm addressed farm operation 

undercoverage and commodity coverage 

concurrently. The algorithm was controlled by the 65 

State farm operation coverage targets and the State 

commodity coverage targets. In order to ensure that 

the calibration process converged with so many 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-9

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

constraints, it was desirable to provide some 

tolerance ranges for each target. Although full 

calibration to a single point estimate would assure 

that the weighted total among census respondents 

equaled its target for each calibration variable in 

either set, it was not always possible to calibrate to 

such a large number of target values while ensuring 

that farm weights were within a reasonable range 

and not less than one. Because of this and because 

calibration targets are estimates themselves subject 

to uncertainty, NASS allowed some tolerance in the 

determination of the adjusted weights. Rather than 

forcing the total for each calibration variable 

computed using the adjusted weights to equal a 

specific amount, NASS allowed the estimated total 

to fall within a tolerance range. This tolerance 

strategy sometimes made it possible for the 

calibration algorithm to produce a set of satisfactory, 

adjusted weights that it would not have otherwise. 

Ranges for the list farm operation coverage targets 

were determined differently from the commodity 

targets. The State target for number of farms had no 

tolerance range. The tolerance range for the 64 other 

State farm operation coverage targets was the 

estimated smoothed State total for the variable 

[(CML+NR)+NML] plus or minus one-half of one 

estimated standard error of NML estimate. This 

choice limited the cumulative deviation from the 

estimated total for a variable when State totals were 

summed to a U.S. level total. The commodity target 

tolerance ranges were determined by subject-matter 

experts, based on the amount of confidence in the 

source, and usually were less than plus or minus two 

percent of the target. Ranges were not necessarily 

symmetric around the target value. 

Adjusted weights were obtained using truncated 

linear calibration which forced the final census 

record weights to fall in the interval [1,6]. 

Adjustments began with the nonresponse-adjusted 

weights and added a second stage weight to 

simultaneously satisfy all farm operation coverage 

and commodity coverage calibration targets. If a 

value within the tolerance range of any variable 

could not be achieved in a given State, the variable 

was removed as a target and the calibration 

algorithm was rerun. Additionally, the CML was 

assumed to be complete for very large and unique 

farms with their weight being controlled to 1 during 

the calibration adjustment process. 

Weight computations in the nonresponse and final 

coverage calibration algorithms were performed to 

several decimals. Thus, the fully-adjusted weights 

were non-integer numbers. To insure that all 

subdomains for which NASS publishes summed to 

their grand total, fully-adjusted weights were 

integerized. This eliminated the need for rounding 

individual cell values and insured that marginal 

totals always added correctly to the grand total. As 

an example of how the integerization process 

worked, assume there were five census records in a 

county with final noninteger coverage weights of 

2.2, for a total of 11. The integerization process 

randomly selected four of these records and rounded 

their final weight down to 2.0 and rounded the fifth 

record up to 3.0, for a total of 11. 

The proportions of selected census data items that 

are due to coverage adjustments are displayed in 

Tables A and C. Some estimated coverage 

adjustments could be negative. The use of 

commodity targets in calibration indirectly exposed 

some duplication on the census list or over 

adjustment by the nonresponse algorithm resulting in 

negative coverage adjustments. 

DISCLOSURE REVIEW 

After tabulation and review of the aggregates, a 

comprehensive disclosure review was conducted. 

NASS is obligated to withhold, under Title 7, U.S. 

Code, any total that would reveal an individual’s 

information or allow it to be closely estimated by the 

public. Cell suppression was used to protect the 

cells that were determined to be sensitive to a 

disclosure of information. Farm counts are not 

considered sensitive and are not subject to 

disclosure. 

Based on agency standards, data cells were 

determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of 

information if they violated either of two criteria. 

First, the threshold rule was violated if the data cell 

contained less than three operations. For example, if 

only one farmer produced turkeys in a county, NASS 

could not publish the county total for turkey 

inventory without disclosing that individual’s 

information. Second, a dominance rule was violated 
 

A-10 APPENDIX A 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

if the distribution of the data within the cell allowed 

a data user to estimate any respondent’s data too 

closely. For example, if there are many farmers 

producing turkeys in a county and some of them 

were large enough to dominate the cell total, NASS 

could not publish the county total for turkey 

inventory without risking disclosing an individual 

respondent’s data. In both of these situations, the 

data were suppressed and a “(D)” was placed in the 

cell in the census publication table. These data cells 

were referred to as primary suppressions. 

Since most items were summed to marginal totals, 

primary suppressions within these summation 

relationships were protected by ensuring that there 

were additional suppressions within the linear 

relationship that provided adequate protection for the 

primary. A detailed computer routine selected 

additional data cells for suppression to ensure all 

primary suppressions were properly protected in all 

linear relationships in all tables. These data cells 

were referred to as complementary suppressions. 

These cells were not themselves sensitive to a 

disclosure but were suppressed to protect other 

primary suppressions. A “(D)” was also placed in 

the cell of the census publication table to indicate a 

complementary suppression. 

Field office analysts reviewed all complementary 

suppressions to ensure no cells had been withheld 

that were vital to the data users. In instances where 

complimentary suppressions were deemed critically 

important to a State or county, analysts requested an 

override and a different complement was chosen. 

MEASURES OF CENSUS QUALITY 

An important objective of the 2007 Census of 

Agriculture was to provide data with a high level of 

quality. However, every census or survey has the 

potential for error in its processes. These errors 

impact the quality of the data estimates. When 

feasible, measurements of those errors are provided 

with individual data items or used to make 

adjustments to the census or survey estimates. In 

conducting the 2007 Census of Agriculture, efforts 

were initiated to measure error associated with the 

adjustment for farm operations that were not 

respondents to the request to CML records, the 

coverage adjustment for farms not on the CML using 

the NML and calibration, and the integerization 

process. Other errors present in the census of 

agriculture include respondent or enumerator error, 

error in classification of farm operations, other types 

of processing errors, error associated with imputation 

for item nonresponse, and matching error associated 

with dual-frame estimation. These latter errors were 

not measured in the census of agriculture process. 

Information relating to these errors is provided in the 

sections that follow. 

The 2007 Census of Agriculture process measured 

the error introduced by the nonresponse algorithm, 

the coverage algorithm, and integerization. The root 

mean squared error (RMSE) of an estimated data 

item from the census provides a measure of the error 

variation in the value of that estimated data item 

based on all possible outcomes of the census 

collection, including variants as to who was on the 

census list, who returned a census form, and which 

weights were chosen to be rounded up. The RMSE 

was used rather than the standard error because it 

could capture additional error arising from 

integerization and the potential for bias in the 

calibration targets. The RMSE is the square root of 

the sum of the weighted differences between the 

final recorded value and its expected value squared 

divided by the number of reports. 

Table B presents the fully adjusted total with the root 

mean squared error for selected items. The relative 

root mean squared error is obtained by dividing the 

root mean squared error by the value of the estimate 

and then multiplying by 100. The table also includes 

the percent contribution to the mean squared error 

(the square of the root mean squared error) from 

nonresponse adjustment and from coverage 

adjustment. 

NONMEASURED CENSUS ERROR 

As noted in the previous section, sampling errors can 

be introduced from the nonresponse and coverage 

adjustment procedures. This error is measureable. 

However, nonsampling errors are imbedded in the 

census process which cannot be directly measured as 

part of the design of the census but must be 

contained to ensure an accurate count. Extensive 

efforts were made to compile a complete and 

accurate mail list for the census, to elicit response to 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-11

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

the census, to design an understandable report form 

with clear instructions, to minimize processing errors 

through the use of quality control measures, to 

reduce matching error associated with the dual frame 

estimation process, and to minimize error associated 

with identification of a respondent as a farm 

operation (referred to as classification error). The 

weight adjustment and tabulation processes 

recognize the presence of nonsampling errors, 

however, it is assumed that these errors are small and 

that, in total, the net effect is zero. In other words, 

the positive errors cancel the negative errors. 

Census Response Rate 

The response rate is an indicator of the quality of a 

data collection. It is generally assumed that if a 

response rate is close to a full participation level of 

100 percent, the potential for nonresponse bias is 

small. The response rate for the 2007 Census of 

Agriculture is 85.2 percent as compared with a 

response rate of 88.0 for the 2002 Census of 

Agriculture and 86.2 percent for the 1997 Census of 

Agriculture. There was no effort to measure 

nonresponse bias for the census. However, the 

census will be used to measure nonresponse bias in 

NASS surveys. 

The response rate for the 2007 Census of Agriculture 

was calculated as the ratio of the total respondents 

after data collection was completed to the number of 

CML records after those that were undeliverable-asaddressed were removed. The total respondents 

consisted of three groups – those respondents not 

eligible for the nonresponse survey, those in the 

universe for the nonresponse survey but who 

responded prior to the selection of the nonresponse 

survey sample, and an estimate of the potential 

respondents in the nonresponse survey sample 

universe from the response rate to the nonresponse 

survey. Additional details of the nonresponse study 

are found in the section on “Whole Farm 

Nonresponse Estimation.” 

Respondent and Enumerator Error 

Incorrect or incomplete responses to the census 

report form or to the questions posed by an 

enumerator can introduce error into the census data. 

Steps were taken in the design and execution of the 

census of agriculture to reduce errors from 

respondent reporting. Poor instructions and 

ambiguous definitions lead to misreporting. 

Respondents may not remember accurately, may 

give rounded numbers, or may record an item in the 

wrong cell. To reduce reporting and recording 

errors, the report form was tested prior to the census 

using industry accepted cognitive testing procedures 

and detailed instructions for completing the report 

form were provided to each respondent. Questions 

were phrased as clearly as possible based on 

previous tests of the report form. Computer-assisted 

telephone interviewing software included immediate 

integrity checks of recorded responses so suspect 

data could be verified or corrected. In addition, each 

respondent’s answers were checked for completeness 

and consistency by the complex edit and imputation 

system. 

Processing Error

Processing of each census report form was another 

potential source of nonsampling error. All mail 

returns that included multiple reports, respondent 

remarks, or that were marked out of business and 

report forms with no reported data were sent to an 

analyst for verification and appropriate action. 

Integrity checks were performed by the imaging 

system and data transfer functions. Standard quality 

control procedures were in place that required that 

randomly selected batches of data keyed from image 

be re-entered by a different operator to verify the 

work and evaluate key entry operators. All systems 

and programs were thoroughly tested before going 

on-line and were monitored throughout the 

processing period. 

Developing accurate processing methods is 

complicated by the complex structure of agriculture. 

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 

agriculture operations, the difficulty of contacting 

and identifying some types of contractor/contractee 

relationships, 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 
 

A-12 APPENDIX A 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

qualify and should not be included in the census. 

During data collection and processing of the census, 

all operations underwent a number of quality control 

checks to ensure results were as accurate as possible. 

Item Nonresponse

All item nonresponse actions provide another 

opportunity to introduce nonsampling errors. 

Regardless of whether it was previously reported 

data, administrative data, the nearest neighbor 

algorithm, or manually imputed by an analyst, some 

risk exists that the imputed value does not equal the 

actual value. Previously reported and administrative 

data were used only when they related to the census 

reference period. A new nearest neighbor was 

randomly selected for each incident to eliminate the 

chance of a consistent bias. 

Matching Error 

The process of building and expanding the CML 

involves finding new list sources and checking for 

names not on the list. An automated processing 

system compared each new name to the existing 

CML names and “linked” like records for the 

purpose of preventing duplication. New names with 

strong links to a CML name were discarded and 

those with no links were added as potential farms. 

Names with weak links, possible matches, were 

reviewed by staff to determine whether the new 

name should be added. Despite this thorough 

review, some new names may have been erroneously 

added or deleted. Additions could contribute to 

duplication (overcoverage) where as deletions could 

contribute to undercoverage. As a result, some 

names received more than one report form, and some 

farm operators did not receive a report form. 

Respondents were instructed to complete one form 

and return all forms so the duplication could be 

removed. 

Another chance for error came when comparing June 

Area Survey tract operator names to the CML. Area 

operators whose names were not found on the CML 

were part of the measure of list incompleteness, or 

NML. Mistakes in determining overlap status 

resulted in overcounts (including a tract whose 

operator was on the CML) or undercounts (excluding 

a tract whose operator was not on the CML). All 

tracts determined to not be on the list were triple 

checked to eliminate, or at least minimize, any error. 

NML tract operators were mailed a report form 

printed in a different color. In order to attempt to 

identify duplication, all respondents who received 

multiple report forms were instructed to complete the 

CML version and return all forms so duplication 

could be removed. 

Classification Error 

Classification error results when a response to the 

census is misclassified – either as a farm operation if 

it does not meet the definition or not as a farm 

operation when it meets the definition. The 

definition of a farm operation in the 2007 Census of 

Agriculture is an operation that has $1,000 in 

agricultural sales or the potential for $1,000 in 

agricultural sales. A Classification Error Study 

(CES) has historically been conducted after the 

census of agriculture. The objectives of a CES are to 

examine the procedures used to determine farm 

status (in-scope or out-of-scope) to see if they are 

producing accurate decisions, document the sources 

of errors resulting in overcounts and undercounts, 

and recommend strategies to eliminate them from 

future censuses. Classification error is a component 

of census coverage error in addition to coverage 

error resulted from list incompleteness or 

duplication. Historically, measures have indicated 

that the error is small. There has not been any 

attempt to incorporate this error measure in the 

coverage adjustment procedure for the 2007 Census 

of Agriculture. 

 

Prior to 1997 a list based re-interview sample of 

census respondents was used to measure 

classification error in the census – specifically the 

number of farms incorrectly classified as non-farms 

(undercount) and the number of duplicate farms 

(overcount). Additionally, an area frame survey was 

used separately to measure the largest component of 

census coverage error – incompleteness of the census 

list. Following the 1997 census, NASS conducted 

the CES for the 11 western States of Arizona, 

California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New 

Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. 

The 1997 CES used information from the June Area 

Survey (JAS) enumeration in lieu of re-interviews; 

estimates were based on the JAS. The 1997 CES 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-13

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

results indicated a net undercount of 27,971 farms 

(non-farms incorrectly classified as farms minus 

duplicate farms and farms incorrectly classified as 

non-farms) in the eleven States. While the standard 

error of this estimate is not available to determine 

statistical significance, even if statistically 

significant, it represents a relatively small portion of 

the overall undercount. 

Following the 2002 census, the CES similarly used 

an area-based approach that was conducted in all 

States. The 2002 CES matched census records to 

JAS records to identify the differences in farm status 

of an operation. The JAS area frame-based survey 

data were assumed to be truth and the estimates of 

misclassification (records which were incorrectly 

classified as farms or non-farms and duplicates) were 

based on this assumption. The 2002 CES results 

indicated a net overcount of 51,345 farms at the US 

level, with a standard error of 6,456. In this case, 

substantial resources were expended to estimate 

something relatively small. Estimates of overcount 

and undercount were computed but were not used to 

adjust totals. Results of the 2002 CES were 

documented in an internal NASS research report 

titled “Results from the 2002 Classification Error 

Study” dated April 2007. 

For the 2007 Census of Agriculture, a classification 

error research study (CES) was conducted in five 

States -- Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota, New York, 

and Washington. Estimates of net error were not 

generated, as the CES was quality research and 

limited to the five States. Review of the 2002 CES 

indicated the assumption that the JAS was the truth 

was inappropriate and re-interviews were reinstated. 

The 2007 CES used data from the 2007 JAS and the 

2007 census to examine farms incorrectly classified 

as nonfarms, nonfarms incorrectly classified as 

farms, and to examine records with significant 

discrepancies in reporting of land between the JAS 

and census reports. The overall objectives of the 

2007 CES were to identify legitimate changes in 

operations and determine the source of potential 

errors in the data. 

Records in the 2007 JAS were matched to the 2007 

census using probabilistic record linkage. From the 

set of matched records, three groups of interest were 

identified: 1) in-scope JAS records that were out-ofscope on the census, 2) census in-scope and JAS 

non-agricultural records, and 3) in-scope census and 

JAS records with acreage differences of more than 

25 percent. Farms whose farm status was in 

disagreement were interviewed to determine which 

source was correct; a reason for the change of status 

on the census was recorded. For records with a 

discrepancy between the data reported on the 2007 

JAS and the 2007 census forms, respondents were 

re-contacted and asked to verify their data and 

resolve the difference. 

Results of the 2007 CES showed that true changes in 

size of operations between the JAS and census were 

rare. Most discrepancies in farm status were the 

result of errors in reporting with respondents 

indicating most often that the census data rather than 

the JAS data were correct, challenging the previous 

assumption that the JAS data was the truth. Results 

of the 2007 CES will be used as input for redesign 

efforts for the JAS operational procedures and the 

2012 census report form and instructions.

Appendix B. 

General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form 

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS 

REPORT FORMS

Prior to release of the results from the 2002 Census 

of Agriculture, NASS was preparing for the 2007 

Census of Agriculture. The first team established 

was the 2007 Census Content Team. This team was 

tasked with content determination and report form 

development. They reviewed the 2002 report form 

content, solicited input from internal and external 

customers, developed criteria for determining 

acceptance and/or rejection of content for the 2007 

Census of Agriculture report forms, tested the 

effectiveness of the report forms for various modes 

of data collection (mail, telephone, personal 

interview, and electronic data reporting), and made 

recommendations to NASS senior executives for 

final determination. 

Throughout development NASS sought advice and 

input from the data user community. Integral 

partners included the Advisory Committee on 

Agriculture Statistics, State departments of 

agriculture and other State government officials, 

Federal agency officials, land grant universities, 

agricultural trade associations, media, and various 

Community Based Organizations. 

 

NASS conducted the 2005 Census of Agriculture 

Content Test in early 2006. The test consisted of 

three phases: cognitive pretesting, national mail-out, 

and follow-up interviews. Results from the testing 

produced two final report form types -- a 24-page 

regionalized form with 7 versions (07-A0201 thru 

07-A0207 regional forms and an 07-A0200 general 

version) and a 12-page national form version (07-

A0100). The main difference between the form types 

is the format used to collect crop and livestock 

information. The regionalized report forms include 

crop sections designed to facilitate reporting crops 

most commonly grown within a report form region. 

Many items in these sections are either prelisted in 

the tables or listed below the tables. The national 

report form collected the same information as the 

regionalized forms, but it was formatted to fit on 

fewer pages. It includes an open table format to 

collect crop and livestock information. Respondents 

had to write in their crops and/or livestock 

information. A sample copy of the regionalized 

report form and instruction sheet is included in this 

appendix.

B-4 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS 

The following definitions and explanations provide a 

detailed description of specific terms and phrases 

used in this publication. Items in the publication 

tables which carry the note ‘‘See text’’ also are 

explained. Report form section number references 

refer to the regional version. Many of the definitions 

and explanations are the same as those used in earlier 

censuses. 

Acres and quantity harvested. Crops were 

reported in whole acres, except for the following 

crops that were reported in tenths of acres: tobacco, 

nursery and greenhouse crops in the open, vegetables 

including potatoes and sweet potatoes, fruit and nut 

crops including land in orchards, and berries; in 

Hawaii, taro and ginger root. Totals for crops 

reported in tenths of acres were rounded to whole 

acres at the aggregate level during the tabulation 

process. Nursery and greenhouse crops grown under 

glass or other protection were reported in square feet 

and are published in square feet. 

If two or more crops were harvested from the same 

land during the year (double cropping), the acres 

were counted for each crop. Therefore, the total 

acres of all crops harvested generally exceeded the 

acres of cropland harvested. An exception to this 

procedure was hay crops. 

When more than one cutting of hay was taken from 

the same acres, the acres were counted only once for 

the harvesting method but the quantity harvested 

includes all cuttings. Acreage cut and tons harvested 

for both dry hay and haylage, silage, or greenchop 

was reported for each crop. For interplanted crops or 

‘‘skip-row’’ crops, acres were reported according to 

the portion of the field occupied, whether by a crop 

or whether it was idle land. If a crop was 

interplanted in an orchard or vineyard and harvested, 

then the entire orchard or vineyard acreage was 

reported under the appropriate fruit crop and the 

interplanted estimated crop acreage was reported 

under the appropriate crop. 

If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acres 

were not reported as harvested. These acres were 

reported in the ‘‘land’’ section on the report form 

under the appropriate cropland items – cropland on 

which all crops failed or were abandoned, cropland 

in cultivated summer fallow, cropland idle or used 

for cover crops or soil-improvement but not 

harvested and not pastured or grazed, or cropland 

used only for pasture or grazing. This does not 

include fruit and nut orchards, vineyards, berries, 

acres in production for cut Christmas trees, and acres 

in production for short rotation woody crops that 

were not harvested. Acreage in these commodities 

were included in cropland harvested whether the 

crop was harvested or not. Abandoned orchards 

were reported as cropland idle, not as harvested 

cropland, and the individual abandoned orchard crop 

acres were not reported. 

Crops that were only hogged or grazed were reported 

as ‘‘cropland used only for pasture or grazing.’’ 

Crop residue left in fields after the 2007 harvest and 

later hogged or grazed was reported as cropland 

harvested and not as cropland used only for pasture 

or grazing. 

Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such 

as fruits and nuts, berries, vegetables and melons, 

and nursery and greenhouse crops. 

Age of operator. See Farms by age and primary 

occupation of operator. 

Agri-tourism and recreational services. See Total 

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes 

and expenses. 

Agricultural products sold directly to 

individuals for human consumption. See Value 

of agricultural products sold directly to individuals 

for human consumption. 

All (multiple) operators. See Operator. 

All haylage, grass silage, and greenchop (tons). 

See Haylage, grass silage, and greenchop, all. 

All other production expenses. See Total farm 

production expenses. 

Alpacas. This is a new item for 2007. In 2002 

alpacas were reported as other livestock. 

American Indian and Alaska Native farm 

operators, total. Data are reported in Chapter 1, 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

tables 54 through 57 and Chapter 2, table 51. In 

Chapter 1, table 54 data include farm characteristics 

for principal operator reporting one race only, table 

55 data include farm characteristics reported for a 

maximum of three operators reporting American 

Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination 

with other races, table 56 data are reported for 

principal operator only, table 57 include data for a 

maximum of three operators for those operators that 

reported only one race. 

In Chapter 2, table 51 data are reported for a 

maximum of three operators reported in the operator 

characteristics section. The individual operators 

were added to the census mail list for most 

reservations. Those reservations that did not include 

all the individual operators on the census mail list 

were identified and the data for the entire 

reservation, including the data for the operators that 

would have met the definition of a farm, were 

collected on one report form. The count of 

reservations and the number of operators that were 

reported on these reservations are included in 

Appendix B, table D. 

Amount from State and local government 

agricultural program payments. See Total income 

from farm-related sources, gross before taxes and 

expenses. 

Amount from Conservation Reserve, Wetlands 

Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, and Conservation 

Reserve Enhancement Programs. See Land 

enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), 

Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP). 

Any poultry sold. The number of farms with any 

poultry sold includes all farms with sales of poultry, 

poultry hatched, or eggs. 

Aquaculture. In the 2007 census the value of sales 

was tabulated for each specified species. In the 2002 

census only total aquaculture value of sales was 

asked. Aquaculture is defined as the farming of fish, 

crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquaculture 

products. The aquaculture production reported in the 

census requires some form of intervention in the 

rearing process and requires inputs such as seeding, 

stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. It 

also requires ownership of the stock being cultivated 

and harvesting that is conducted in a controlled 

environment by the operation. The pounds sold, 

number sold, and value of sales include all sizes and 

eggs by species. The number and pounds sold and 

value of sales include aquaculture distributed for 

restoration, conservation, or recreational purposes, 

such as State and Federal hatcheries. Values based 

on sales of farm-raised fish were assigned to 

distributed fish. 

Aquaculture value. See Aquaculture. 

Artichokes (excluding Jerusalem). For 2007 the 

wording was changed to clarify that Jerusalem 

artichokes should be excluded. Data are comparable 

to 2002 artichoke data. 

Asparagus, bearing age. For 2007, bearing age 

was added to the description for clarity. Data are 

comparable. 

Bees. See Colonies of bees and honey collected. 

Breeding livestock. See Total farm production 

expenses. 

By economic class. See Economic class of farms. 

Cattle on feed. Cattle on feed is defined as cattle 

and calves that were fed a ration of grain or other 

concentrates that will be shipped directly from the 

feedlot to the slaughter market and are expected to 

produce a carcass that will grade select or better. 

This category excludes cattle that were pastured 

only, background feeder cattle, and veal calves. 

Cattle on feed sold. Data are for cattle on feed sold 

that weighed 500 pounds or more and were shipped 

directly from the feedlot to the slaughter market. 

This category excludes cattle that were pastured 

only, owned cattle that were shipped from feedlots 

operated by others, background feeder cattle, and 

veal calves. 

Chemicals applied. For each type of chemical used, 

the acres treated were reported only once even if the 

acres were treated more than once. If multi-purpose 
 

B-6 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

chemicals were used, the acres treated for each 

purpose were reported. See Total farm production 

expenses; Chemicals. 

Cherries. Cherries were reported as either sweet 

cherries or tart cherries. Combined crops or nonspecified cherry acres were not options for the 

respondent. Total acres, bearing age acres, and 

nonbearing age acres were reported for each crop. 

Chestnuts. This is a new item for 2007. In 2002 

data were included in other nut trees. See Other 

nuts. 

 

Christmas trees, cut. Data are for acres of 

Christmas trees - cut or to be cut - in production, 

acres irrigated, and number of trees cut. Sales data 

are included in the Cut Christmas trees and short 

rotation woody crops category. In 2002, acres 

irrigated were not collected. 

Christmas trees, live. Data were reported as 

nursery stock and include Christmas trees sold live, 

generally balled and burlapped, from the operation. 

Citrus enumeration. 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 conducted since 1969 because of the 

difficulty identifying and enumerating absentee 

grove owners who often do not know the 

information that is needed to adequately complete 

the report form. 

Enumeration activities were completed after harvest 

to facilitate the accuracy of reported data. Grove 

owners were counted as operators for farm count 

purposes. Citrus caretakers were perceived as 

performing an agricultural service for grove owners 

and were not considered agricultural operators if 

they provided only services to grove owners. 

Caretakers were counted as agricultural operators if 

they made day-to-day decisions for their own 

operation in addition to providing services for grove 

owners. Data provided by caretakers were prorated 

to owners based on acreage and were transcribed 

onto the respective owner’s census report form. 

Coffee. Data were collected only in Hawaii. In 

2007, data for total acres, bearing age acres, and 

nonbearing age acres were collected. 

Colonies of bees. Colonies of bees were tabulated 

in the county where the largest value of all 

agricultural products were raised or produced. 

Colonies are often moved from farm-to-farm over a 

wide geographic area. Package bees are not included 

as separate colonies. In 2007 colonies of bees were 

collected in their own section to clarify to 

respondents that only “owned” colonies were to be 

reported versus any colonies on the operation. 

Commodities raised and delivered under 

production contracts. A production contract is an 

agreement between a producer or grower and a 

contractor (integrator) setting terms, conditions, and 

fees to be paid by the contractor to the operation for 

the production of crops, livestock, or poultry. The 

grower receives a payment or fee from the 

contractor, generally after delivery, which is less 

than the full market price of the commodity. A 

production contract involves the shifting of some 

risk and control from the grower to the contractor. 

Marketing contracts, futures contracts, forward 

contracts, or other contracts based strictly on price 

are not considered production contracts. 

Commodities sold to a co-op where some of the 

input items were purchased from the same co-op at a 

discount price were also excluded. Many operations 

produce commodities only under production 

contracts or only independently. Some operations 

may produce a commodity under production contract 

and also produce more of the same commodity that 

they sell independently. Both types of production 

are combined as one value in the tables for total 

inventories and total sales. 

Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter. In 

2002, data were collected for custom fed cattle. 

Many respondents reported cattle that were not 

shipped directly to slaughter such as veal or 

background feeder cattle. For 2007, the report form 

text was improved to specify custom fed cattle 

shipped directly for slaughter. Cattle not shipped 

directly to slaughter were reported in the Other 

cattle, livestock, poultry, or aquaculture category. 

Data are not comparable for custom fed cattle 

shipped directly to slaughter or Other cattle, 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-7

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

livestock, poultry, or aquaculture categories. 

Other cattle, livestock, poultry, or aquaculture. The 

data for commodities raised and delivered under a 

production contract include cattle which were not 

custom fed and shipped directly to slaughter 

(backgrounding), livestock and poultry not listed 

separately, and aquaculture products. For 2007, the 

report text was improved to specify custom fed cattle 

shipped directly for slaughter. Cattle not shipped 

directly to slaughter are reported as Other cattle, 

livestock, poultry, or aquaculture. In 2002, some 

cattle not shipped directly to slaughter were reported 

as custom fed cattle. Data are not comparable with 

2002 for Custom fed cattle shipped directly to 

slaughter or Other cattle, livestock, poultry, or 

aquaculture categories. 

Vegetables, melons, and potatoes. This category is 

the number of farms that produced and delivered 

vegetables, melons, and potatoes grown under a 

production contract. 

Other crops. Data are for the total number of farms 

that have production contracts for other crops. This 

category includes all crops except grains, oilseeds, 

vegetables, melons, and potatoes. 

Commodity Credit Corporation loans. This 

category includes nonrecourse marketing loans for 

wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, rice, 

soybeans, Austrian winter peas, honey, dry peas, 

lentils, small chickpeas, peanuts, sunflower seed, 

flaxseed, canola and other rapeseed, safflower, 

mustard seed, crambe and sesame seed, and mohair. 

These commodities differ from those included in the 

2002 census due to changes created by the 2007 

Farm Bill. 

Crop and livestock insurance payments received. 

See Total income from farm-related sources, gross 

before taxes and expenses. 

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 units 

different than the unit of measure published, the 

quantity harvested was converted to the published 

unit of measure. 

Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity 

harvested are for the calendar year 2007 except for 

citrus crops and sugarcane for sugar; limes in region 

three States; avocados in Florida and California; 

olives in California and Arizona; and pineapples and 

coffee in Hawaii. 

1. Avocados. The data for Florida relate to the 

quantity in the April 2007 through March 2008 

harvest season; for California and Arizona, the 

November 2006 through November 2007 harvest 

season. 

2. Citrus crops. The data for region three relate to 

the quantity harvested in the September 2006 

through August 2007 harvest season, except 

limes in Florida that were harvested in the April 

2007 through March 2008 harvest season. The 

data for California and Arizona relate to the 2006 

through 2007 harvest season. The data for limes 

relate to the April 2007 through March 2008 

harvest season. 

 

3. Olives. The data for California and Arizona 

relate to the September 2006 through March 

2007 harvest season. 

4. Pineapples. The data for Hawaii relate to the 

quantity harvested in the year ending May 31, 

2007. 

5. Sugarcane for sugar. The data for Florida, 

Louisiana, and Texas relate to the cuttings from 

September 2007 through April 2008. 

Cropland, harvested. See Harvested cropland. 

Cropland, irrigated. See Irrigated land. 

Cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil 

improvement, but not harvested and not pastured 

or grazed. Cropland idle includes any other acreage 

which could have been used for crops without any 

additional improvement and which was not reported 

as cropland harvested, cropland on which all crops 

failed, cropland in summer fallow, or cropland used 

for pasture or grazing. This category includes: 

1. Land used for cover crops or soil improvement 

but not harvested or grazed. 
 

B-8 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

2. Land in Federal or State conservation programs 

that was not hayed or grazed in 2007. 

3. Land in Federal or State conservation programs 

that were planted to trees for future harvest 

timber, pulp, or Christmas trees. 

 

4. Land occupied with growing crops for harvest in 

2008 or later years but not harvested or summer 

fallowed in 2007 (except fruit or nuts in an 

orchard, grove, or vineyard being maintained for 

production). Examples are acreage planted in 

winter wheat, strawberries, etc., for harvest in 

2008 and no crop was harvested from these acres 

in 2007. 

 

5. Land in “skipped” rows between rows of crops 

or field strips. 

Cropland, other. See Other cropland. 

Cropland, total. See Total cropland. 

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. Also included were acres 

of crops hogged or grazed but not harvested prior to 

grazing. However, cropland that was pastured 

before or after crops were harvested in 2007 was 

included as harvested cropland rather than cropland 

for pasture or grazing. 

Crustaceans. These are invertebrate animals with 

jointed legs and a hard shelled segmented body. 

Examples include crawfish, lobster, prawns, shrimp, 

and softshell crabs. 

Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter. 

See Commodities raised and delivered under 

production contract. 

Customwork and custom hauling. See Total farm 

production expenses. 

Customwork and other agricultural services. See 

Total income from farm-related sources, gross before 

taxes and expenses. 

Cuttings, seedlings, liners, and plugs. This is a 

new item for 2007. In 2002 data were included in 

other nursery and floriculture. See Nursery, 

greenhouse, floriculture, and sod. 

Cut Christmas trees. See Christmas trees, cut. 

Data are based on sample of farms. For censuses 

from 1978 through 2002, selected data items were 

collected from only a sample of farms. These data 

were subject to sampling error. For the 2007 census 

there was no sampling. 

Depreciation expenses claimed. The calculation of 

total farm production expenses does not include 

depreciation because it is a capital expense. 

Depreciation allows the expensing of capital 

purchases over multiple years. It is not included in 

the calculation of Net cash farm income of the 

operation and operator. 

Ducks, geese, and other poultry species. Data are 

the number of farms that had inventory of ducks, 

emus, geese, ostriches, pheasants, pigeons or squab, 

quail, and other poultry sold. Other poultry are those 

poultry not having a specific code on the report 

form. Data are comparable. 

Ducks, geese, and other poultry species sold. Data 

are the number of farms that sold ducks, emus, 

geese, ostriches, pheasants, pigeons or squab, quail, 

and other poultry sold. Other poultry are those 

poultry not having a specific code on the report 

form. Data are comparable. 

Expenses. See Total farm production expenses. 

Economic class of farms. Economic class data are 

the classification of farms by the sum of market 

value of agricultural products sold and federal farm 

program payments. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments. 

Farm or ranch operator. See Operator 

characteristics. 

Farm typology. The Economic Research Service 

(ERS), an agency of the United States Department of 

Agriculture, has established typology of farms to 

group farms by similar characteristics. This census 

is the first to include data cross-tabulated by the 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-9

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

eight farm typology categories. There are two major 

groupings of farms, small family farms with sales of 

less than $250,000, and other farms. The small 

family farm group is divided into 5 subcategories, 

described below: 

1. Limited-resource farms have market value of 

agricultural products sold gross sales of less than 

$100,000, and total principal operator household 

income of less than $20,000. 

2. Retirement farms have market value of 

agricultural products sold of less than $250,000, 

and a principal operator who reports being 

retired. 

3. Residential/lifestyle farms have market value of 

agricultural products sold of less than $250,000, 

and a principal operator who reports his/her 

primary occupation as other than farming. 

4. Farming occupation/lower-sales farms have 

market value of agricultural products sold of less 

than $100,000, and a principal operator who 

reports farming as his/her primary occupation. 

5. Farming occupation/higher-sales farms have 

market value of agricultural products sold of 

between $100,000 and $249,999, and a principal 

operator who reports farming as his/her primary 

occupation. 

Other farms are subdivided into three subcategories, 

described below: 

1. Large family farms have market value of 

agricultural products sold between $250,000 and 

$499,999. 

2. Very large family farms have market value of 

agricultural products sold of $500,000 or more. 

3. Nonfamily farms are farms organized as 

nonfamily corporations, as well as farms 

operated by hired managers. 

Farms by age and primary occupation of 

operator. Data on age and primary occupation were 

obtained from up to three operators per farm in 2007. 

When compared with 2002 results, the average age 

of farmers increased significantly. Older operators 

may be “retired” (with little if any sales) and still 

report farming as their primary occupation since they 

often have limited opportunity for off-farm jobs. See 

Primary occupation of the operator. 

Farms by combined government payments and 

market value of agricultural products sold. This 

category represents the value of products sold plus 

government payments. Total value of products sold 

combines total sales not under production contract 

and total sales under production contract. 

Government payments consist of government 

payments received from the Conservation Reserve 

Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), 

Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP) plus government payments received from 

Federal, State, and local programs other than the 

CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP, and Commodity 

Credit Corporation loans. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments. 

Farms by economic class. See Economic class of 

farms and Total market value of agricultural 

products sold and government payments 

Farms by North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). The NAICS 

classifies economic activities. It was jointly 

developed by Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. NAICS 

makes it possible to produce comparable industrial 

statistics for Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. For the 

2007 census, all agricultural production 

establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries, 

greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity 

or activities using the NAICS code. The 2007 

census is the third census to use NAICS. Censuses 

prior to the 1997 census used the old Standard 

Industrial Classification (SIC) system to classify 

farms. 

NAICS was developed to provide a consistent 

framework for the collection, analysis, and 

dissemination of industrial statistics used by 

government policy analysts, academia and 

researchers, the business community, and the public. 

It is the first industry classification system developed 

in accordance with a single principle of aggregation 

that production units using similar production 
 

B-10 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

processes should be grouped together. Though 

NAICS differs from other industry classification 

systems, statistics compiled on NAICS are 

comparable with statistics compiled according to the 

latest revision of the United Nations’ International 

Standard Industrial Classification, Revision Three, 

(ISIC, Revision 3) for some sixty high level 

groupings. Following are explanations of the major 

classifications used in 2007. 

Oilseed and grain farming (1111). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing 

oilseed and/or grain crops and/or (2) producing 

oilseed and grain seeds. These crops have an annual 

life cycle and are typically grown in open fields. 

This category includes corn silage and grain silage. 

In the 2007 census, government-payment only farms 

were classified as “All other crop farming” (11199). 

In the 1997 census, government-payment only farms 

were coded as “All other grain farming (11119).” 

Vegetable and melon farming (11121). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in one or more of 

the following: (1) growing vegetables and/or melon 

crops, (2) producing vegetable and melon seeds, and 

(3) growing vegetable and/or melon bedding plants. 

Fruit and tree nut farming (1113). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in growing fruit 

and/or tree nut crops. These crops are generally not 

grown from seeds and have a perennial life cycle. 

Greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production 

(1114). Comprises establishments primarily 

engaged in growing crops of any kind under cover 

and/or growing nursery stock and flowers. ‘‘Under 

cover’’ is generally defined as greenhouses, cold 

frames, cloth houses, and lath houses. Crops grown 

are removed at various stages of maturity and have 

annual and perennial life cycles. The category 

includes short rotation woody crops and Christmas 

trees that have a growing and harvesting cycle of 10 

years or less. 

Other crop farming (1119). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing 

crops such as tobacco, cotton, sugarcane, hay, 

sugarbeets, peanuts, agave, herbs and spices, and hay 

and grass seeds, or (2) growing a combination of the 

valid crops with no one crop or family of crops 

accounting for one-half of the establishment’s 

agricultural production (value of crops for market). 

Crops not included in this category are oilseeds, 

grains, vegetables and melons, fruits, tree nuts, 

greenhouse, nursery and floriculture products. 

All other crop farming (11199). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing crops 

(except oilseeds and/or grains; vegetables and/or 

melons; fruits and/or tree nuts; greenhouse, nursery, 

and/or floriculture products; tobacco; cotton; 

sugarcane; or hay) or (2) growing a combination of 

crops (except a combination of oilseed(s) and 

grain(s)); and a combination of fruit(s) and tree 

nut(s) with no one crop or family of crops 

accounting for one-half of the establishment’s 

agricultural production. 

Beef cattle ranching and farming (112111). 

Comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

raising cattle (including cattle for dairy herd 

replacements). Pastureland-only farms, those with 

only 100 or more acres of pastureland, were 

classified as “All other animal production farming 

(11299).” 

Cattle feedlots (112112). Comprises establishments 

primarily engaged in feeding cattle for fattening. 

Dairy cattle and milk production (112120). This 

industry comprises establishments primarily engaged 

in milking dairy cattle. 

Poultry and egg production (1123). This industry 

group comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

breeding, hatching, and raising poultry for meat or 

egg production. 

Sheep and goat farming (1124). This industry group 

comprises establishments primarily engaged in 

raising sheep, lambs, and goats, or feeding lambs for 

fattening. 

Animal aquaculture (1125). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in the farm raising of 

finfish, shellfish, or any other kind of animal 

aquaculture. These establishments use some form of 

intervention in the rearing process to enhance 

production, such as holding in captivity, regular 

stocking, feeding, and protecting from predators. 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-11

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Other animal production (1129). Comprises 

establishments primarily engaged in raising animals 

and insects (except cattle, hogs and pigs, poultry, 

sheep and goats, and aquaculture) for sale or product 

production. These establishments are primarily 

engaged in one of the following: bees, horses and 

other equine, rabbits and other fur-bearing animals, 

etc, and producing products such as honey and other 

bee products. Establishments primarily engaged in 

raising a combination of animals with no one animal 

or family of animals accounting for one-half of the 

establishment’s agricultural production are included 

in this industry group. Farms with only 100 acres or 

more of pastureland were classified as “All other 

animal production farming (11299).” 

Farms by number of households sharing in net 

income of farm. Data were reported by the 

principal operator only. Households that received 

funds because they were only landlords, custom 

equipment operators, or provided other production 

services were not included. Published data can 

exceed the number of operators listed under 

Operators, all. 

Farms by size. All farms were classified into 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 part of the tenant’s farm 

and not part of the owner’s. 

Farms by tenure of operator. All farms were 

classified by tenure of operators. The classifications 

used were: 

• Full owners operated only land they owned. 

• Part owners operated land they owned and also 

land they rented from others. 

• Tenants operated only land they rented from 

others or worked on shares for others. 

Farms with hired managers are classified according 

to the land ownership characteristics reported. For 

example, a corporation owns all the land used on the 

farm and hires a manager to run the farm. The hired 

manager is considered the farm operator, and the 

farm is classified with a tenure type of “full owner” 

even though the hired manager owns none of the 

land he/she operates. 

Farms by value of sales. See Market value of 

agricultural products sold. 

Farms by type of organization. All farms were 

classified by type of organization in the 2007 census. 

The classifications used were: 

1. Family or individual (sole proprietorship), 

excluding partnership and corporation. 

2. Partnership, including family partnership – in 

selected tables, partnership was further 

subclassified into: 

a. Registered under State law. 

b. Not registered under State law. 

 

3. Corporation, including family corporations - in 

selected tables, partnership was further 

subclassified into: 

a. Family held or other than family held. 

b. More than 10 stockholders. 

4. Other, cooperative, estate or trust, institutional, 

etc. 

Farms or farms reporting. The terms ‘‘farms’’ and 

‘‘farms reporting’’ in the presentation of data are 

equivalent. Both represent 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 

 number . . . 28,594 

Farms with sales and government payments of 

less than $1,000. This category includes farms with 

combined sales and government payments of less 

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

$1,000 or more. In this category, government 

payments were included in calculating that potential. 

It provides information on all items for farms that 

normally would be expected to sell agricultural 

products of $1,000 or more but had sales and 

government payments of less than $1,000. 
 

B-12 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Farms with sales of less than $1,000. This 

category includes farms with sales of less than 

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

more. Some of these farms had no sales in the 

census year. It provides information on all report 

form items for farms that normally would be 

expected to sell agricultural products of $1,000 or 

more. 

Fertilizer. See Total farm production expenses; 

Fertilizer, lime, and soil conditioners. 

Floriculture crops. Data represent total of 

bedding/garden plants, cut flowers and cut florist 

greens, foliage plants, potted flowering plants, and 

other floriculture and bedding plants. 

Field and grass seed crops, all. Data are for all the 

field and grass seed crops not published as field 

crops and include other field crops which did not 

have a specific code on the 2007 report form. 

Forage - land used for all hay and all haylage, 

grass silage, and greenchop. Data shown represent 

the area harvested with each acre counted only once 

if dry hay, haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were 

cut from the same acreage or if there were multiple 

cuttings of dry hay, haylage, grass silage, or 

greenchop. Data exclude corn silage and sorghum 

silage. Quantity produced is the sum of the quantity 

harvested of all hay including alfalfa, other tame, 

small grain, and wild hay and all haylage, grass 

silage and greenchop after converting the all 

haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity 

harvested to a dry equivalent basis (13-percent 

moisture). The green tons of all haylage, grass 

silage, and greenchop harvested were multiplied by a 

factor of 0.4943 to convert to a dry equivalent. This 

conversion factor is based on the assumption that 

one ton of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry matter, one ton 

of haylage or grass silage is 0.45 ton dry matter, and 

one ton of greenchop is 0.25 ton dry matter. The all 

haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity 

harvested is assumed to be comprised of 90-percent 

haylage and grass silage and 10-percent greenchop. 

Therefore, the conversion factor used to adjust all 

haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity 

harvested to a dry equivalent basis = 

[(0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1)]/0.87 = 0.4943. 

Fruits and nuts. Total acres, bearing age acres, and 

nonbearing age acres were collected. 

Ginseng. In 2007 ginseng acres are included in the 

vegetable acres. In 2002 ginseng harvested, irrigated 

harvested acres, and production were included in the 

acres for field crops. Total vegetable acres are not 

directly comparable. 

 

Government payments. This category consists of 

direct payments as defined by the 2002 Farm Bill; 

payments from Conservation Reserve Program 

(CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable 

Wetlands Program (FWP), and Conservation 

Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP); loan 

deficiency payments; disaster payments; other 

conservation programs; and all other federal farm 

programs under which payments were made directly 

to farm operators. Commodity Credit Corporation 

(CCC) proceeds, amount from State and local 

government agricultural program payments, and 

federal crop insurance payments were not tabulated 

in this category. 

Grain and bean combines. In the 2007 and 2002 

censuses, data were collected for self-propelled 

combines only. 

Grain storage capacity. Data include the capacity 

of all storage structures on the operation normally 

used to store whole grains and oilseeds. These 

structures can be bins, silos, buildings, trailers, etc. 

The capacity or usage of any off-farm public or 

commercial storage facilities was excluded. 

Grains, oilseeds, dry beans, and dry peas sales. 

Data are for the total market value of cash grains 

sold, including corn for grain, seed, or silage; wheat 

for grain; soybeans for beans; sorghum for grain, 

seed, or silage; barley for grain; rice; oats for grain; 

and other grains. Also included is the total market 

value of cash oilseeds sold, including sunflower seed 

(oil and non-oil), flaxseed, canola, rapeseed, 

safflower seed, mustard seed, dry beans, and dry 

peas. 

Greenhouse fruits and berries. This is a new item 

for 2007. Data include strawberries, raspberries, etc. 

grown in greenhouses and high tunnels where the 

crops were always covered. In 2002, data were 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-13

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

included in Other nursery and greenhouse crops. See 

Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, and sod. 

Greenhouse tomatoes. This is a new item for 2007. 

In 2002, data were included in greenhouse produced 

vegetables. See Total greenhouse vegetables and 

fresh cut herbs. 

Gross cash rent or share payments. See Total 

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes 

and expenses. 

Harvested cropland. This category includes land 

from which crops were harvested and hay was cut, 

land used to grow short-rotation woody crops and 

land in orchards, citrus groves, Christmas trees, 

vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from 

which two or more crops were harvested was 

counted only once. Land in tapped maple trees was 

included in woodland not pastured. The 2007 census 

definition for harvested cropland is the same as the 

2002 definition. 

Hay - all hay including alfalfa, other tame, small 

grain, and wild. Data shown represent the acreage 

and quantity harvested of all types of dry hay. The 

quantity harvested was reported in dry tons (dry 

weight at the time the hay was removed from the 

field for storage or feeding). If two or more cuttings 

of dry hay were made from the same field, the 

acreage was reported only once as acres harvested of 

the appropriate dry hay category, but the production 

from all cuttings was combined in the corresponding 

quantity harvested. Straw acreage and production is 

excluded. 

If dry hay was cut from the same land that haylage, 

grass silage, or greenchop was cut, the acreage and 

production for the dry hay was reported in the 

appropriate category of dry hay and the acreage and 

production for haylage, grass silage, or greenchop 

was reported in the appropriate haylage, grass silage, 

or greenchop category. For example, if 20 acres of 

alfalfa were cut for hay and then the same land was 

used to produce alfalfa haylage, 20 acres and the 

quantity harvested of hay were reported as Alfalfa 

and alfalfa mixtures for dry hay and 20 acres and the 

quantity harvested of alfalfa haylage were reported 

as Haylage or greenchop from alfalfa or alfalfa 

mixtures. 

Hay, other tame dry hay. Data shown represent 

acreage and dry tons of hay harvested from clover, 

fescue, lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, 

Sudangrass, sorghum hay, and other types of 

legumes (excluding alfalfa) and tame grasses 

(excluding small grains). 

Hay, wild dry. Data shown represent acreage and 

dry tons of hay harvested that was predominately 

wild or native grasses, even if it had some fill-in 

seeding of other grasses. 

Haylage, grass silage, and greenchop, all. Data 

shown represent the acreage and quantity harvested 

of all types (alfalfa and all other). The quantity 

harvested was reported in green tons. If two or more 

cuttings of haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were 

made from the same field, the acreage was reported 

as acres harvested in the appropriate haylage 

category only once, and the tonnage from all cuttings 

was combined in the corresponding quantity 

harvested. Straw acreage and production is 

excluded. 

Hired farm labor. Data are for total hired farm 

workers, including paid family members, by number 

of days worked. Data exclude contract laborers. 

Hogs and pigs by type of operation. In the 2007 

census, hog and pig farms were classified by primary 

type of operation. Operation types were farrow to 

wean, farrow to feeder, farrow to finish, nursery, 

finish only, and other. Each description was 

accepted and the reported inventory and sales data 

were assigned to each reported type. In 2002 a 

respondent could select more than one operation 

type. Data are not comparable. 

Hogs and pigs by type of producer. In the 2007 

census, hog and pig farms were classified by one 

type of producer in 2007. Producer types were 

independent grower, contractor or integrator, and 

contract grower (contractee). Each description was 

accepted and the reported inventory and sales data 

were assigned to each reported type. In 2002 a 

respondent could select more than one producer 

type. Data are not comparable. 

Honey collected. Data are for pounds of honey 

produced but not necessarily sold. 
 

B-14 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Horseradish. This is a new item for 2007. Data are 

for total acres harvested, acres harvested for fresh 

market, and acres harvested for processing. In 2002, 

horseradish was reported as other vegetables.

Income. Net cash farm income is published for the 

operation and operator. The difference between net 

cash income and net cash returns is that net cash 

returns does not include government payments and 

other farm-related income as income. See Net cash 

farm income of the operations and Net cash farm 

income of the operators. 

Income from farm-related sources. See Total 

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes 

and expenses. 

Institutional, research, experimental, and 

American Indian Reservation farms. Data for 

these farms are combined into a single category. 

Research farms include farms operated by private 

companies as well as those operated by universities, 

colleges, and government organizations for the 

purpose of expanding agricultural knowledge. 

Irrigated land. This category includes all land 

watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as 

sprinklers, flooding, furrows or ditches, subirrigation, and spreader dikes. Included are 

supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each 

acre was counted only once regardless of the number 

of times it was irrigated or harvested. Livestock 

lagoon waste water distributed by sprinkler or flood 

systems was also included. 

Land area, approximate. The approximate land 

area represents the total land area as determined by 

records and calculations as of January 1, 2007. The 

2007 area values differ from 2002 because of the 

improved accuracy of spatial data. The proportion of 

land area in farms may exceed 100-percent because 

some operations have land in two or more counties, 

but all acres are tabulated in the principal county of 

operation. The approximate land area data were 

supplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce, 

Bureau of the Census. See Land in two or more 

counties. 

Land enrolled in crop insurance programs. The 

data are for all land enrolled in any Federal, private, 

or other crop insurance program. It includes acreage 

of pasture/rangeland enrolled in crop insurance 

programs in areas where it is provided. Data are 

comparable with 2002. 

Land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve 

Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program 

(WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP). CRP is a program established by the 

USDA in 1985 that takes land prone to erosion out 

of production for 10 to 15 years and devotes it to 

conservation uses. In return, farmers receive an 

annual rental payment for carrying out approved 

conservation practices on the conservation acreage. 

The WRP, FWP, and CREP programs are included 

under the CRP program that offers landowners 

financial incentives for conservation practices. 

For the 2007 census, operations with land enrolled in 

the CRP, WRP, FWP, or CREP were counted as 

farms, given they received $1,000 or more in 

government payments, even if they had no sales and 

otherwise lacked the potential to have $1,000 or 

more in sales. 2002 data may not include FWP or 

CREP acreage so data are not directly comparable. 

Land in berries. This is a new item for 2007. Data 

are for total land in berries. Respondents also 

reported harvested acres and not harvested acres by 

individual berry crops. In 2002, only harvested 

acreage was collected. 

Land in farms. The acreage designated as ‘‘land in 

farms’’ consists primarily of agricultural land used 

for crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes 

woodland and wasteland not 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 edit process. Land in 

farms includes CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP acres. 

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 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 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-15

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

was part of a farm or ranch. Land under the 

exclusive use of a grazing association was reported 

by the grazing association and included as land in 

farms. All land in American Indian reservations 

used for growing crops, grazing livestock, or the 

potential of grazing livestock was included as land in 

farms. Land in reservations not reported by 

reservation, individual American Indians or nonNative Americans was reported in the name of the 

cooperative group that used the land. In many 

instances, an entire American Indian reservation was 

reported as one farm. 

Land in orchards. This category includes land in 

bearing age and nonbearing age fruit trees, citrus or 

other groves, vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, 

including land on which all fruit crops failed. 

Respondents also reported bearing age acres and 

nonbearing age acres by individual fruit and nut 

crops. Respondents were instructed not to report 

abandoned plantings and plantings of fewer than 20 

total fruit, citrus, or nut trees or grapevines. 

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. 

Reports received showing land in more than one 

county were separated into two or more reports if the 

data would substantially distort county totals. 

Land in vegetables. Data are for the total land used 

for vegetable and melon crops. The acres were 

reported only once, even though two or more 

harvests of a vegetable or more than one vegetable 

were harvested from the same acres. In 2007, 

ginseng, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are included in 

land used for vegetables. In 2002, these acres were 

included in field crops. Data are not directly 

comparable. 

Land used for organic production. See Total acres 

used for organic production. 

Land used for vegetables. See Land in vegetables. 

Landlord’s share of the total sales. Data represent 

the share of the operation’s total sales that went to 

landlord(s). 

Layers. This category includes table-egg type 

layers, hatching layers for meat-types, and hatching 

layers for table egg types. In 2002, this category was 

referred to as Layers 20 weeks and older. This is a 

wording change only; data are comparable. 

Layers inventory. See Layers. 

Layers sold. See Layers. 

Less than $1,000. See Farms with sales and 

government payments of less than $1,000. 

Livestock and poultry purchased or leased. See 

Total farm production expenses; Livestock and 

poultry purchased or leased. 

Maple syrup. Data are for the number of taps set 

and syrup produced. 

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 2007 

regardless of who received the payment. It is 

equivalent to total sales and it includes sales by the 

operators as well as the value of any shares received 

by partners, landlords, contractors, or others 

associated with the operation. It includes value of 

direct sales and the value of commodities placed in 

the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan 

program. Market value of agricultural products sold 

does not include payments received for participation 

in other federal farm programs. Also, it does not 

include income from farm-related sources such as 

customwork and other agricultural services, or 

income from nonfarm sources. 

The value of crops sold in 2007 does not necessarily 

represent the sales from crops harvested in 2007. 

Data may include sales from crops produced in 

earlier years and may exclude some crops produced 

in 2007 but held in storage and not sold. For 

commodities such as sugarbeets and wool sold 

through a co-op that made payments in several 

installments, respondents were requested to report 

the total value received in 2007. 
 

B-16 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

The value of agricultural products sold was 

requested of all operators. If the operators failed to 

report this information, estimates were made based 

on the amount of crops harvested, livestock or 

poultry inventory, or number sold. Caution should 

be used when comparing sales in the 2007 census 

with sales reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures 

are expressed in current dollars and have not been 

adjusted for inflation or deflation. See Farms with 

sales and government payments of less than $1,000. 

Market value of agricultural products sold and 

government payments. See Total market value of 

agricultural products sold and government payments. 

Migrant farm labor on farms with hired labor. 

Operators were asked whether any hired or contract 

workers were migrant workers. A migrant farm 

worker is a farm worker whose employment required 

travel that prevented the worker from returning to 

his/her permanent place of residence the same day. 

Migrant farm labor on farms reporting only 

contract labor. Data are for those operations that 

did not have hired farm workers but reported that 

they did have migrant contract workers on their 

operation in 2007. 

Misreported or miscoded crops. In a few cases, 

data may have been reported on the wrong line, in 

the wrong section, or the wrong crop code may have 

been assigned to a write-in crop code. A few of 

these errors may not have been identified and 

corrected during processing which resulted in rare 

cases of inaccurately tabulated data. Reports with 

significant acres of unusual crops for the area were 

examined to minimize the possibility that they were 

in error. 

Mollusks. These are invertebrate animals with a soft 

body covering and shells of 1-18 parts or sections. 

Examples include abalones, clams, mussels, oysters, 

and snails. See Aquaculture for more information on 

production reported on the census. 

More than one race reported. This category 

represents those operators who chose to report more 

than one race on the census form. 

Mushroom spawn. This is a new item for 2007. 

Respondents reported only sales; growing area was 

not summarized. 

Mushrooms. All mushroom crops were considered 

grown under glass or other protection and no 

mushroom data were published as area in the open. 

Those reporting mushrooms grown in the open area 

were converted to an equivalent area of square feet 

under protection. 

NAICS. See Farms by North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS). 

 

Net cash farm income of the operations. This 

concept is derived by subtracting total farm expenses 

from total sales, government payments, and other 

farm-related income. Depreciation is not used in the 

calculation of net cash farm income. Net cash farm 

income of the operation includes the value of 

commodities produced under production contract by 

the contract growers. 

For publication purposes, farms are divided into two 

categories: 

1. Farms with net gains (includes those operations 

that broke even). 

2. Farms with net losses. 

Net cash farm income of the operators. This value 

is the operators’ total revenue (fees for producing 

under a production contract, total sales not under a 

production contract, government payments, and 

farm-related income) minus total expenses paid by 

the operators. Net cash farm income of the operator 

includes the payments received for producing under 

a production contract and does not include value of 

commodities produced under production contract by 

the contract growers. Depreciation is not used in the 

calculation of net cash farm income. 

For publication purposes, farms are divided into two 

categories: 

1. Farms with net gains (includes those operations 

that broke even). 

2. Farms with net losses.

Noncitrus fruit, all. This is a summation of all 

acres reported in the commodities defined as 

noncitrus such as apples, grapes, and plums. 

Noncitrus fruit, other. See other noncitrus fruit. 

Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture and sod. In the 

2007 census, individual data were collected for area 

under glass or other protection, area in the open, and 

sales of aquatic plants; bulbs, corms, rhizomes, and 

tubers; cuttings, seedlings, liners, and plugs; 

floriculture crops; flower seeds; greenhouse fruits 

and berries; total greenhouse vegetables and fresh 

cut herbs; mushrooms; mushroom spawn; nursery 

stock; other nursery crops; sod harvested; tobacco 

transplants; vegetable seeds; and vegetable 

transplants. Total sales data are the summation of all 

crops. In the 2002 census, mushroom spawn were 

not included so total sales data are not directly 

comparable. Also, in the 2002 census, individual 

crops sales data were not collected. 

Nuts, all. Data include all nut trees. In 2002, the 

report form category Other fruit and nuts was used in 

some regions. Some nut trees were reported in this 

category. The data for all nut trees for 2002 cannot 

be summarized so data are not comparable. 

Occupation. See Primary occupation of operator 

and/or Farms by age and primary occupation of 

operator. 

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, and marketing. The 

operator may be the owner, a member of the owner’s 

household, a hired 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. The census 

collected information on the total number of 

operators, the total number of women operators, and 

demographic information for up to three operators 

per farm. 

Operator characteristics. Operators (up to three 

operators per farm) were asked to report primary 

occupation, sex, age, race, place of residence, if 

retired, number of days worked off farm, year in 

which his/her operation of the farm began, hired 

manager, number of persons living in the operators’ 

households, and Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. 

Information on the total number of operators and 

total number of women operators was collected from 

each operation. In addition, the principal operator 

was asked to report the percentage of total household 

income that came from the farm operation. 

Operators of Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. 

See Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. 

Operators, number. Demographic and other 

information were collected for up to three operators 

per farm - the principal operator plus up to two 

additional operators. This may be fewer than the 

total operators on some farms. Demographic data 

for up to three operators reported are presented 

separately for women, by race categories, and for 

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. 

Operators, total. The data represent the total 

reported number of operators for the operation. 

Operators, total women. The data represent the 

total number of women operators reported for the 

operation. 

Oranges, all. All oranges are a summation of 

Valencia oranges and Other oranges. Total acres, 

bearing acres, and nonbearing acres were collected 

by category. 

Oranges, other. See Other oranges. 

 

Organic agriculture. See Total acres used for 

organic production and Total organic product sales. 

Ornamental fish. This category includes various 

fish raised for water gardens, aquariums, etc. 

Examples include angel fish, guppies, koi, 

ornamental goldfish, and tropical fish. In the 2007 

census the value of sales was tabulated for each 

specified species. In the 2002 census only total 

aquaculture value of sales was asked. 

Other animals and other animal products sold. 

This category includes the number of farms and 

value of all animals and animal products not having 

specific codes on the 2007 report form. 
 

B-18 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Other aquaculture products. In the 2007 census, 

examples include the production of alligators, frogs, 

leeches, eels, live rock, salamanders and turtles. 

Data are not comparable with the 2002 census since 

other fish were listed separately on the 2002 report 

form and in 2007 it is included in other aquaculture 

products. 

Other cattle. In the 2007 census, data include 

heifers that have not calved, steers, calves, and bulls. 

Other cattle, livestock, poultry, or aquaculture. 

See Commodities raised and delivered under 

production contract. 

Other citrus. In the 2007 census, data relate to any 

citrus crop not having a specific code on the report 

form. For 2007 data includes K-early citrus which 

was published as its own category in 2002 therefore 

data are not comparable with 2002. 

Other cropland. This includes all cropland other 

than harvested cropland or cropland used only for 

pasture or grazing. 

Other crops and hay. For the 2007 census, data are 

for the total market value of all crops not categorized 

into one of the prelisted crop sales categories on the 

report form and hay sales. This category includes 

crops such as grass seed, hay and grass silage, 

haylage, greenchop, hops, maple syrup, mint for oil, 

peanuts, sugarcane, sugarbeets, etc. 

Other crops. Data relate to any field crops not 

having a specified code on the 2007 census report 

form. Amaranth, foxtail millet seed, lotus root, 

mungbeans, redtop seed, salt hay, and sweet rice 

were included in other field crops in the 2007 report 

form but were reported individually on the 2002 

report form. The 2002 data, where compared, were 

not adjusted for these crop acreages. 

Other-farm related income sources. See Total 

income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes 

and expenses. 

Other field and grass seed crops. Data relate to 

any field or grass seed crop not having a specified 

code on the 2007 census report form. Sweet clover 

seed was included in other seed crops in the 2007 

report form but were reported individually on the 

2002 report form. The 2002 data, where compared, 

were not adjusted for this crop acreage. 

Other floriculture and bedding crops. This is a 

new item for 2007. In 2002, data were reported in 

other nursery and greenhouse. 

Other food fish. Data are for fish, other than catfish 

and trout, raised on farms for food. Examples 

include hybrid striped bass, moi, perch, salmon, 

sturgeon, and tilapia. 

Other greenhouse vegetables and fresh cut herbs. 

This is a new item for 2007. In 2002, these data 

were included with greenhouse produced vegetables. 

Other land. This category includes land in house 

lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, ditches, wasteland, etc. 

It includes those acres in the farm operation not 

classified as cropland, pastureland, or woodland. 

See Land in farms. 

Other livestock. This category includes all 

livestock not having specific codes on the 2007 

report form. See Other animals and other animal 

products sold. 

Other livestock and poultry purchased or leased. 

See Total farm production expenses. 

Other livestock products. Data for this category 

include the number of farms that sold livestock 

products that did not have a specific code on the 

2007 report form. 

Other noncitrus fruit. Data relate to any noncitrus 

fruit not having a specific code on the census report 

form. 

Other nursery crops. This is a new item in 2007. 

It includes nursery crops not having specific codes 

on the report form. In 2002, data were reported in 

other nursery and greenhouse. 

Other nuts. This category includes any nut crop not 

having a specific code on the report form. In 2007, 

data were collected for chestnuts separately while in 

2002 chestnuts were included in Other nuts. Data 

are not comparable.

Other oranges. Data are for Oranges other than 

Valencia oranges, including Navel oranges. 

Other poultry. Data are for other poultry not 

having a specific code on the report form. Data are 

comparable. 

Other tame hay. See Hay, other tame dry hay. 

Other vegetables. Data shown for other vegetables 

relate to any vegetable not having a specific code on 

the census form. In the 2007 census, data were 

collected separately for horseradish while in 2002 

horseradish was included in other vegetables. Data 

are not directly comparable. 

Patronage dividends. See Total income from farmrelated sources, gross before taxes and expenses. 

Payments received by the contractee for 

commodities produced under contract. These data 

show the number of farms and the dollar amount the 

contractees received from contractors for 

commodities produced under contract. This is not 

the market value of the commodities delivered, but 

the payment or fee the operators received for 

commodities delivered. For market value of the 

commodities delivered see Commodities raised and 

delivered under production contracts. 

Peaches, all. Data for all peaches were collected as 

a category in all States except for California and 

Arizona. Peach data in California and Arizona were 

collected separately for clingstone and freestone 

peaches. The data were later combined with all 

peaches for publication. Data for clingstone and 

freestone are found in the California and Arizona 

publications only. 

Pears, all. Data for all pears were collected as a 

category in all States except for California, Arizona, 

Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, and Washington. These 

States collected data separately for Bartlett pears and 

Other pears which were later combined into the Pear, 

all category. Data for Bartlett and other pears are 

found only in the State publications where collected. 

Pecans, all. All pecans is a summation of Pecans, 

improved and Pecans, native and seedling. Total 

acres, bearing acres, and nonbearing acres were 

collected by category in the 2007 census. In the 

2002 census, total acres, bearing acres, and 

nonbearing acres were collected only as all pecans. 

Pecans, improved. This is a new item for the 2007 

census. Improved pecans are varieties that have 

been genetically altered through breeding and 

grafting techniques to produce more nuts, and nuts 

with a greater percentage of nut meat. See Pecans, 

all for further explanation. 

Pecans, native and seedlings. This is a new item 

for the 2007 census. Native pecans are varieties that 

developed under natural conditions. Seedling pecans 

are produced from seed (the nut) and have not been 

budded or grafted. See Pecans, all for further 

explanation. 

Peppers, Bell (excluding pimientos). The wording 

was improved to exclude pimientos which were 

reported as other vegetables. 

Peppers, other than bell (including chile). The 

data includes all other peppers including chile. 

Pimientos were reported as other vegetables. In 

2002 this category was referred to as Peppers, chile 

(all peppers, excluding bell). This is a wording 

change only; all data are comparable. 

Permanent pasture and rangeland, other than 

cropland and woodland pastured. This land use 

category encompasses grazable land that does not 

qualify as woodland pasture or cropland pasture. It 

may be irrigated or dry land. In some areas, it can be 

a high quality pasture that could not be cropped 

without improvements. In other areas, it is barely 

able to be grazed and is only marginally better than 

wasteland. In 2002 this category was referred to as 

Pastureland and rangeland, other than cropland 

pastured. This is a wording change only; all data are 

comparable. 

Plums. This was reported as an individual item only 

in California and Arizona. All other States reported 

plums in a combined plum and prune category. 

Pluots. This is a new item for 2007. Pluots were 

reported as an individual item only in California, 

Arizona, Idaho, Oregon, Alaska, and Washington. 

In all other States pluots were reported in the Other 

non-citrus category. 
 

B-20 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Potatoes. In 2007 potato acres are included in the 

vegetable acres. Data are for total acres harvested, 

acres harvested for fresh market, and acres harvested 

for processing. Production was not collected. In 

2002 potatoes acreage and production were included 

in the acres for field crops. 

Poultry hatched. This category includes all poultry 

hatched on the operation during the year. The 

number of poultry hatched is under the Sold heading 

for both years. 

Poultry, other. See Other poultry. 

Primary occupation of operator. Data on age and 

primary occupation were obtained from up to three 

operators per farm. The primary occupation 

classifications used were: 

1. Farming or ranch work. The operator spent 50-

percent or more of his/her worktime during 2007 

at farming or ranching. 

 

2. Other. The operator spent less than 50-percent 

of his/her worktime during 2007 in farming or 

ranching operations. 

Principal operator. The person primarily 

responsible for the on-site, day-to-day operation of 

the farm or ranch business. This person may be a 

hired manager or business manager. See Operators 

for further explanation. 

Production contracts. See Commodities raised and 

delivered under production contracts. 

Production expenses. See Total farm production 

expenses. 

Prunes. This was reported as an individual item 

only in California and Arizona. All other States 

reported prunes in a combined plum and prune 

category. 

Pullets for laying flock replacement. Data are for 

pullet inventory and the number sold or moved for 

laying flock replacement. 

 

Race of operator. Data, except for Hawaii, were 

collected for American Indian (included Alaska 

Native), Asian, Black or African American, Native 

Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, and White. 

Respondents were asked to mark one or more of the 

race categories. In Hawaii operator race data were 

collected for American Indian (included Alaska 

Native), Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Other 

Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian, 

other Pacific Islander, and White. The combination 

of Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander is 

equivalent to the Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific 

Islander category on the other forms. The 

combination of the Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, 

Korean, and Other Asian categories is equivalent to 

the Asian category on the other forms. The Volume 

1, Geographic Area Series, U.S. Summary 

publication only displays counts for the categories of 

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander and 

Asian. Data for the 11 Hawaii race categories are 

published in chapter 2 of the Hawaii publication of 

the Volume 1 series. 

Raspberries, all. In 2007, raspberries were reported 

as All raspberries except in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, 

and Washington where they were reported as black 

raspberries or red raspberries. In these States, black 

raspberries and red raspberries data were combined 

as Raspberries, all for comparability with other 

States. In 2002, raspberries were reported as all 

raspberries except in Idaho, Oregon, and 

Washington. 

Raspberries, black. See Raspberries. 

Raspberries, red. See Raspberries. 

Rental of farmland. See Total income from farmrelated sources, gross before taxes and expenses; 

Gross cash rent or share payments. 

Sales, total. See Market value of agricultural 

products sold. 

Sheep and lambs inventory. Data are for sheep and 

lambs of all ages owned regardless of location. In 

2007 sheep and lambs were collected in their own 

section to clarify to respondents that only “owned” 

sheep and lambs were to be reported versus any 

sheep and lambs on the operation. 

Short-rotation woody crops. Data are for short-
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-21

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

rotation woody crops that grow from seed to a 

mature tree in 10 years or less. These are trees for 

use by the paper or pulp industry or as engineered 

wood. This does not include lumber. Acres in 

production were included in Cropland harvested in 

the “Land” section of the report form. 

Size of farm. See Farms by size. 

Sorghum for syrup (gallons). Data are for 

sorghum syrup produced. 2002 data were collected 

as pounds produced so the 2002 data were divided 

by 11.55 to convert the pounds to gallons. 

Squash, all. All squash is a summation of summer 

squash and winter squash. Total acres, acres for 

fresh market, and acres for processing were collected 

by category in the 2007 census. In the 2002 census, 

total acres and acres for processing were collected as 

all squash. 

Squash, summer. This is a new item for the 2007 

census. See Squash, all. 

Squash, winter. This is a new item for the 2007 

census. See Squash, all. 

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. Operators of 

Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin are found in all 

of the racial groups listed in the census and were 

tabulated according to the race reported, as well as 

on tables pertaining only to this group. 

Sport or game fish. Data are for sport or game fish 

and it includes fish raised to restock public waters or 

for sale at fee fishing operations. Examples include 

bluegill, crappie, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, 

sunfish, muskie, northern pike, walleye, and sunfish. 

Sweet potatoes. In 2007 sweet potato acres are 

included in the vegetable acres. Data are for total 

acres harvested, acres harvested for fresh market, 

and acres harvested for processing. Production was 

not collected. In 2002 sweet potatoes acreage and 

production were included in the acres for field crops. 

Tame hay. See Hay, other tame dry. 

Tenure. See Farms by tenure of operator. 

Tobacco transplants. This is a new item for 2007. 

Data are for tobacco transplants that were sold for 

transplant to farm fields. Transplants grown for 

transplanting to the same operation were not reported 

or removed during data review. In 2002, data were 

reported as Other nursery and greenhouse. 

Tomatoes in the open. Data are for tomatoes grown 

in the open. In 2007 the wording “in the open” was 

added to clarify between tomatoes grown in open 

fields versus tomatoes grown under cover. Data are 

comparable. 

Total acres used for organic production. This is a 

new item in the 2007 census. Respondents were 

instructed to report organic production as defined by 

the National Organic Standards while in 2002 only 

acreage of certified organically produced crops was 

collected. Organic acreage is divided into organic 

crops and organic pasture. The count of farms 

producing organic crops may differ from that found 

in other sources because this item is self reported by 

respondents. No attempt was made to verify reports 

with certifying organic organizations. The acres 

reported for organic crops must be less than or equal 

to the acres reported as cropland harvested for each 

operation. 

In 2002, data were collected for the number of acres 

used to raise certified organically produced crops. 

This was replaced in 2007 with acreage and value of 

sales of organically produced commodities. For 

certified production, only a “Yes” or “No” response 

question was asked in the “Organic Agriculture” 

section. The 2007 data do not compare with 2002 

Land used to raise certified organically produced 

crops. See Total organic product sales. 

Total cropland. This category includes cropland 

harvested, cropland used only for pasture or grazing, 

cropland on which all crops failed or were 

abandoned, cropland in cultivated summer fallow, 

and cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil 

improvement but not harvested and not pastured or 

grazed. 

Total farm production expenses. Includes the 

production expenses provided by the operators, 

partners, landlords (excluding property taxes), and 

production contractors for the farm business in 2007. 
 

B-22 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

Tenant farmers reported expenses paid by landlords 

for the agricultural production on the operation, as 

well as their expenses. Farm or ranch operators who 

rented part of their land to others reported only the 

expenses for the land they actually used themselves 

and not expenses for land rented to others. The 2007 

total farm production expenditure includes all farmrelated expenses such as customwork, fuel costs, cost 

of cutting timber, services provided to hunters, 

cooperative membership fees, etc. However, if the 

income from these farm-related categories was not 

considered a part of the operation (i.e., if the income 

was regarded as derived from a separate business), 

then the associated expenses were not included. The 

contractor’s portion of expenses was solely based on 

computer generated estimates for 2007. 

This item excludes expenses relating to non-farm 

activities such as trading and speculation in the 

commodities market or livestock trading activities. 

Explanations of selected production expenses are 

listed below. 

All other production expenses. This category 

includes all expenses not listed on the report form. 

Examples include animal health costs, storage and 

warehousing, marketing and ginning expenses, 

insurance, etc. Health expenses and payroll taxes 

were excluded. 

Breeding livestock purchased or leased. These 

expenses include all breeding livestock and poultry 

purchased or leased during 2007 for production on 

the farm or ranch. The total includes amount spent 

for beef and dairy cows, heifers, bulls, sows, gilts, 

boars, rams, lambs, ewes, roosters, hens, layers, etc. 

Estimations of the value of livestock or poultry fed 

on a custom basis were to be made based on their 

value when they arrived on the farm or ranch. In 

2002 data were only collected for purchased 

breeding livestock. Data are not directly 

comparable. 

Cash rent paid in 2007 for land and buildings. 

These data include the cost of renting land and 

buildings that were part of the operation. Rent paid 

for the operator’s dwelling or other non-farm 

property and the value of the shares of crops and 

livestock paid to landlords were excluded. 

Chemicals. These 2007 expenses include 

insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other 

pesticides, including costs of custom application. 

Data exclude commercial fertilizer purchased. 

Contract labor. These data include payments made 

to contractors, crew leaders, cooperatives, or any 

other organization hired to furnish a crew of laborers 

to do a job that may involve one or more agricultural 

operations. In some cases, a crew leader may furnish 

some equipment. Data exclude expenses made on a 

contractual basis for repair or maintenance or for 

capital improvements, such as construction of farm 

buildings, installation of fences or irrigation systems, 

and land leveling. 

Customwork and custom hauling. These expenses 

include costs incurred for having customwork done 

on the place and for renting machines to perform

taxes, unemployment tax, payment for sick leave or 

vacation pay, workman’s compensation, insurance 

premiums, and pension plans. 

Interest paid on debts. These expenses include 

interest and finance charges paid in 2007 for debts 

secured by real estate and on debt not secured by real

are non-farm interest expenses and interest expenses 

originating from machinery and equipment used for 

a separate customwork business or for other 

operations. Interest expense for the operator’s 

dwelling, where the amount is separate from interest 

on farm land and buildings on the operation, is 

excluded. Interest paid on debts was reported in one 

of two categories: 

1. Secured by real estate. These data include all 

interest expenses paid in 2007 on debts secured 

by real estate for the farm. 

2. Not secured by real estate. These data include all 

interest expenses paid in 2007 on debts secured 

by machinery, tractors, trucks, other equipment, 

livestock, poultry, breeding stock, money 

borrowed for use as working capital, and interest 

paid on CCC loans for the farm. 

Livestock and poultry purchased or leased. These 

data include Breeding livestock purchased or leased 

and Other livestock and poultry purchased or leased. 

Other livestock and poultry purchased or leased. 

These expenses include all non-breeding livestock 

and poultry purchased or leased during 2007 for 

production on the farm or ranch. The total includes 

amounts spent for cattle, calves, hogs, pigs, sheep, 

hatchery eggs, etc. In 2002 data were only collected 

for purchased livestock and poultry. Data are not 

directly comparable. 

Property taxes paid. These data include property 

taxes paid by the operators for the farm share of 

land, machinery, buildings, and livestock, excluding 

taxes paid by this operator’s landlords. 

Rent and lease expenses for machinery, equipment, 

and farm share of vehicles. These data include the 

farm share cost of renting or leasing machinery, 

equipment, and vehicles during 2007. Rental and 

lease expenses of items used only for custom hire are 

excluded here. 

Repairs, supplies, and maintenance. These expenses 

include all costs for the repair and upkeep of 

buildings, motor vehicles, fences, and farm 

equipment used for the farm business during 2007. 

Repairs to equipment used both for the farm business 

and for performing customwork are included.

include the cost of all seeds, bulbs, plants, 

propagation materials, trees, seed treatments, seed 

cleaning costs, etc. purchased during 2007. 

Excluded were items purchased for immediate resale 

or the value of seed grown on this place. 

Utilities. These data show the farm share cost of 

electricity, telephone charges, internet fees, and 

water purchased in 2007. Included in the water cost 

is water purchased for irrigation purposes, livestock 

watering, etc. Household utility costs were excluded 

from these items. 

Total greenhouse vegetables and fresh cut herbs. 

This category includes greenhouse tomatoes and 

other greenhouse vegetables and fresh cut herbs. In 

2002 this category was referred to as greenhouse 

vegetables. This is only a wording change; all data 

are comparable. 

Total income from farm-related sources, gross 

before taxes and expenses. This includes gross 

income from farm-related sources received in 2007 

before taxes and expenses from the sales of farm 

byproducts and other sales and services closely 

related to the principal functions of the farm 

business. The data exclude income from 

employment or business activities which were 

separate from the farm business. Categories that 

make up the farm-related income calculation 

changed between the 2002 and 2007 censuses. In 

the 2007 census, Crop and livestock insurance 

payments received and Amount from State and local 

government agricultural program payments are 

published separately. In the 2002 census, these 
 

B-24 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

categories were combined with Other farm-related 

income sources. 

Agri-tourism and recreational services. This income 

includes income from recreational services such as 

hunting, fishing, farm or wine tours, hay rides, etc. 

In the 2002 census, this category was referred to as 

Recreational Services. This is a wording change 

only; all data are comparable. 

Amount from State and local government 

agricultural program payments. This is a new item 

for 2007. This income includes State and local 

government agricultural program payments. 

Respondents were to exclude the State and local 

portion of CREP payments if they were reported in 

the amount received for participation in CREP in 

section 4, item 1a of the report form. In 2002 this 

income was included with Other farm-related 

income sources. 

Crop and livestock insurance payments received. 

This is a new item for 2007. This income includes 

insurance payments from crop and livestock losses. 

In 2002 this income was combined with Other farmrelated income sources. 

Customwork and other agricultural services. This 

income includes gross receipts received by the farm 

operators for providing services for others such as 

planting, plowing, spraying, and harvesting. Income 

from customwork and other agricultural services is 

generally included in the agriculture census if it is 

closely related to the farming operation. However, it 

is excluded if it constituted a separate business or 

was conducted from another location. 

Gross cash rent or share payments. This income 

includes gross cash or share payments received from 

renting out farmland, payments received from the 

lease or sale of allotments, and payments received 

for livestock pastured on a per-head, per month, or 

per pound basis. It excludes rental income from 

nonfarm property. 

Other-farm related income sources. This is other 

income which is closely related to the agricultural 

operation. This income includes animal boarding, 

breeding fees (horse breeding or stud fees received 

were reported in the Value of Sales section in the 

Other animals and other animal products category), 

tobacco quota buyouts, State fuel tax refunds, farm 

generated energy, etc. In the 2007 census, crop and 

livestock insurance payments received and amount 

from State and local government agricultural 

program payments were published separately. In the 

2002 census, these categories were combined with 

other farm-related income sources. Data are not 

comparable. 

Patronage dividends and refunds from cooperatives. 

This income includes payments to a farmer or 

rancher for business done with a cooperative to 

which he/she usually belongs. The payment is 

usually for goods sold through the co-op. 

Sales of forest products. This income includes gross 

receipts from sales of standing timber, pulpwood, 

firewood, etc. from the farm or ranch operation. It 

excludes income from nonfarm timber tracts, 

sawmill businesses, cut Christmas trees, maple 

products, and short-rotation woody crops. 

Total operators. See Operators, total. 

Total organic product sales. This is a new item for 

the 2007 census. The data represent the value of 

organically produced agricultural commodities sold 

from operations during 2007. It was the intention of 

the question to collect the value of those products 

that were produced as organic according to the 

National Organic Standards. These sales may come 

from either crop or livestock production and are 

divided into three categories: 

1. Sales for crops, including nursery and 

greenhouse crops. 

 

2. Sales for livestock and poultry. 

3. Sales for livestock and poultry products. Sales 

data are not comparable. 

Total sales. See Market value of agricultural 

products sold. 

Total market value of agricultural products sold 

and government payments. This category 

represents the value of products sold plus 

government payments. Total value of products sold 
 

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX B B-25

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

combines total sales not under production contract 

and total sales under production contract. 

Government payments consist of government 

payments received from the Conservation Reserve 

Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), 

Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or 

Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program 

(CREP) plus government payments received from 

Federal, State, and local programs other than the 

CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP, and Commodity 

Credit Corporation loans. 

Trucks, including pickups. This is a new item for 

2007. The data were last published in the 1997 

census. 

Turkeys. In the 2007 census, turkey data are a 

combination of turkeys for meat production and 

turkey hens kept for breeding tabulated from two 

questions. The number of turkeys sold includes 

turkeys sold for slaughter or moved to other farms, 

which may result in a turkey being sold more than 

once from different operations. In the 2002 census, 

turkey inventory and sales were tabulated in one 

question. 

Type of organization. See Farms by type of 

organization. 

Typology. See Farm typology. 

Utilities. See Total farm production expense. 

Value of agricultural products sold directly to 

individuals for human consumption. This item 

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 non-edible 

products such as nursery crops, cut flowers, and 

wool but includes livestock sales. Sales of 

agricultural products by vertically integrated 

operations through their own processing and 

marketing operations were excluded. 

Value of commodities. Data show the number of 

farms and the market value of all commodities 

delivered under a production contract. 

Value of landlord’s share of total sales. Data 

include the value of agricultural sales received by the 

landlords. 

Value of organically produced commodities. See 

Total organic product sales. 

Value of sales. See Market value of agricultural 

products sold. 

Vegetable transplants. This is a new item for 2007. 

Data are for vegetable transplants grown and sold 

from this operation for transplanting to fields on 

another operation. In 2002 vegetable transplants 

were reported as other nursery and greenhouse. 

Vegetables harvested for fresh market. This is a 

new item for the 2007 census. Respondents reported 

the total vegetable acres harvested, harvested for 

processing, and harvested for fresh market. 

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. When 

more than one vegetable crop was harvested from 

the same acreage, acres were counted for each crop. 

In 2007, ginseng, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are 

included in vegetables harvested. In 2002, these 

acres were included in field crops. The 2002 data, 

where compared, were not adjusted to include 

ginseng, potatoes, and sweet potatoes acreage. 

Vegetables, melons, and potatoes. See 

Commodities raised and delivered under production 

contracts. 

Vegetables, other. See Other vegetables. 

Wheat for grain. Data were reported by type of 

wheat - Durum, winter, and spring other than 

Durum. 

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. 

Woodland, total. This category includes natural or 
 

B-26 APPENDIX B 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE 

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 

planted woodlots or timber tracts, cutover and 

deforested land with young growth which has or will 

have value for wood products and woodland 

pastured. Land covered by sagebrush or mesquite 

was reported as Permanent pastureland and 

rangeland or other land. Land planted for Christmas 

tree production and short rotation woody crops was 

reported in Cropland harvested, and land in tapped 

maple trees was reported as Woodland not pastured. 

Write-in crops. To reduce the length of the report 

form, only the major crops for each region were 

prelisted on the regional report forms. For other 

crops, the respondent was asked 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 of 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. The national report form was an open 

table design so most of the commodities were 

reported as write-in commodities.
