The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the 2018 Guam 

Census of Agriculture, analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census provides a 

comprehensive picture of Guam’s agriculture in 2018, and NASS recognizes and appreciates that many 

individuals and organizations contributed to the effort.

Most importantly, the success of the agriculture census depends directly on the cooperation of farmers and 

ranchers across Guam. Recognizing that participating in the census is their responsibility and gives them a voice 

in their future, agricultural operators took the time to provide the information requested. We are grateful to every 

operator who participated in the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture. 

NASS acknowledges and appreciates the advice and support from the University of Guam, College of Natural 

and Applied Sciences, and its Cooperative Extension and Outreach Service; the Guam Department of Agriculture; 

various USDA agencies, farm organizations, stakeholder groups, and media outlets. They provided valuable 

advice during the planning, data collection, and promotional phases of the census, as well as critical assistance to 

local farmers completing census forms. Our thanks to the enumerators who collected data locally through NASS’ 

cooperative agreements.

Members of the inter-agency working group, under the leadership of the University of Guam, College of Natural 

and Applied Sciences, made significant recommendations which helped establish data content. NASS appreciates 

the group’s strong and consistent support of census programs. 

Numerous farm organizations and media outlets were also instrumental in building awareness of the census and 

encouraging farmers and ranchers to participate.

Finally, NASS acknowledges and appreciates the support services of the U.S. Department of Commerce National 

Processing Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

2017 Census of Agriculture Introduction V

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Introduction

HISTORY

For more than 150 years, the U.S. Department of 

Commerce, Bureau of the Census, conducted the 

census of agriculture. However, the 1997 

Appropriations Act transferred the responsibility 

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

of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural 

Statistics Service (NASS). 

The census of agriculture is taken to obtain 

agricultural statistics for each county, State (including 

territories and protectorates), and the Nation. The first 

U.S. census of agriculture data were collected in 1840 

as a part of the sixth decennial census. From 1840 to 

1920, an agricultural census was taken as a part of 

each decennial census. Since 1920, a separate national 

agricultural census has been taken every 5 years.

The 2018 census is the 15th census of agriculture of 

Guam. The first, taken in 1920, was a special census 

authorized by the Secretary of Commerce. The next 

agriculture census was taken in 1930 in conjunction 

with the decennial census, a practice that continued 

every 10 years through 1960. The 1964 Census of 

Agriculture was the first quinquennial (5-year) census 

to be taken in Guam. In 1976, Congress authorized 

the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and 

1982 to adjust the data-reference year to coincide with 

other economic censuses. After 1982, the agriculture 

census reverted to a 5-year cycle.

USES OF CENSUS DATA

The census of agriculture is the leading source of 

statistics about Guam’s agricultural production and 

the only source of consistent, comparable data at the 

island level. Census statistics are used to measure 

agricultural production and to identify trends in an 

ever-changing agricultural sector. Many local 

programs use census data as a benchmark for 

designing and evaluating surveys. Private industry 

uses census statistics to provide a more effective 

production and distribution system for the agricultural 

community. One of the most important uses of the 

census data is to justify claims of farmers who may 

suffer damages and losses due to natural disasters, 

such as typhoons.

LEGAL AUTHORITY

The census of agriculture is required by law 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 every fifth 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. 

The data for the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture 

were collected in accordance with a Cooperative 

Agreement approved by the Director of the Census 

and Survey Division of NASS and by the University 

of Guam, College of Natural and Applied Sciences, 

and its Cooperative Extension and Outreach Service.

FARM DEFINITION

The statistics collected in the census relate to places 

with agricultural operations qualifying as farms 

according to the census definition. In Guam, this 

included all places from which $1,000 or more of 

agricultural products were produced and sold, or 

normally would have been sold, during the 12-month 

period between January 1 and December 31, 2018. 

The farm definition is the same that was used for the 

2007 Guam Census of Agriculture, and is the same 

definition used for the rest of the U.S.

DATA COMPARABILITY 

In general, the data from the 2018 census are 

comparable with those of previous censuses. All 

dollar values presented in this report are in current 

dollars, i.e., 2018 data are expressed in 2018 dollars 

and 2007 data in 2007 dollars. The dollar values have 

not been adjusted for changes in price levels between 

census years. For other data changes between 
VI Introduction 2017 Census of Agriculture

censuses, refer to the section on Data Changes in 

Appendix B.

REFERENCE PERIODS

Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and 

equipment are the number on hand on the day of 

enumeration. Crop production, crop and livestock 

sales, and expense data are for the 12-month period 

between January 1 and December 31, 2018.

TABLES AND APPENDICES

Tables 1 through 13 show detailed island data 

accompanied by historic data from the previous 

census. Tables 14 through 17 provide 2018 island data 

cross-tabulated by tenure of operator, age of operator, 

size of farm, and market value of agricultural products 

sold. 

Appendix A. Provides information about data 

collection and data processing activities and discusses 

the statistical methodology used in conducting and 

evaluating the census. 

Appendix B. Includes definitions of specific terms 

and phrases used in this publication, including items

in the publication tables that carry the note "see text." 

It also provides a facsimile of the report form used to 

collect data.

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY

In keeping with the provisions of Title 7, United 

States Code, no data are published that would disclose 

the operations of an individual farm. However, the 

number of farms in a given size category or other 

classification is not considered a release of 

confidential information and is provided, even though 

other information may be withheld.

CUSTOM TABULATIONS

Custom-designed tabulations can be developed to 

individual user specifications on a programming cost 

reimbursable basis. Quick Stats, NASS’s online 

database that allows data users to build customized 

queries, should be investigated before requesting a 

custom tabulation. 

All 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:

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 1

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A.

Census of Agriculture Methodology

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the Census of Agriculture is to 

enumerate all members of a population with a defined 

characteristic. For the Guam Census of Agriculture, 

that goal is to account for “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.”

As in the previous censuses of Guam, a direct 

enumeration procedure was used in the 2018 Census 

of Agriculture. Enumeration was based on a list of 

farm operators compiled by the Cooperative 

Extension and Outreach Service of the University of 

Guam, and the Guam Department of Agriculture. The 

statistics on this report were collected during the 

spring of 2019.

THE CENSUS POPULATION

For the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture, a list of 

farm operators was compiled by the Cooperative 

Extension and Outreach Service of the University of 

Guam, and the Guam Department of Agriculture. The 

enumerators contacted all persons or operations on 

the list and completed a census report form for all 

farm operations that met the farm definition. If the 

person on the list was not operating a farm, the 

enumerator recorded whether the land had been sold 

or rented to someone else and was still being used for 

agriculture. If the land was sold or rented out, the 

enumerator obtained the name of the new operator 

and contacted that person, to ensure that he/she was 

included in the census. 

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND 

PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS

The Public Affairs Office (PAO) developed a 

communication plan largely based on promotional 

materials that were shared with local outreach 

partners, including but not limited to the University of 

Guam and their Cooperative Extension and Outreach 

Service, the Guam Department of Agriculture, and 

local USDA agencies. The goal with these 

promotional materials included: 

• Encouraging participation in the Census of 

Agriculture 

• Communicating how the census will provide 

much needed data that are used by federal and 

local decision makers 

• Explaining that response to the Census of 

Agriculture is required and that reported 

information is protected by federal law 

• Increasing general awareness and perceived 

value of NASS, its products, and services

Partnership and Local-Level Outreach 

NASS officials met with leaders from agricultural 

organizations, the University of Guam and its 

Cooperative Extension and Outreach Service, the 

Guam Department of Agriculture, and other USDA 

agencies to successfully secure their support in 

promoting the census among their constituencies. 

Stakeholders partnered with NASS to promote the 

2018 Guam Census of Agriculture through 

publications (e.g. newsletters), special mailings, 

speeches, social media, websites, and other 

communications. Through grassroots-level outreach 

and efforts, NASS partnered with a number of 

community-based organizations to reach all farmers 

and ranchers. Among the highlights of these 

partnership efforts was the participation of local 

extension agents on radio public service 

announcements promoting the importance of the 2018 

Guam Census of Agriculture.
A - 2 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Public Relations

In the public relations arena, NASS worked with 

internal and external stakeholders to equip them with 

communications tools and resources to deliver the 

census communications message to their audiences.

The materials included but were not limited to: a press 

release/stakeholder notice, a public service 

announcement, flyers and posters, and a Frequently 

Asked Questions (FAQs) document; which were 

drafted for local media and other stakeholder 

distribution. These materials were available both 

electronically and in hard copy. Other outreach tools 

included items such as pens and notepads.

DATA COLLECTION 

Method of Enumeration 

Personal enumeration was used in the 2018 Guam 

Census of Agriculture, and in the 2007 Guam Census 

of Agriculture, enumeration was based on a list of 

farm operators compiled by the Cooperative 

Extension and Outreach Service of the University of 

Guam, and the Guam Department of Agriculture. 

The enumerators contacted all persons or operations 

engaged in agriculture in their assigned area and 

completed a census report form for all farm operations 

that met the farm definition. If the person on the list 

was not operating a farm, the enumerator recorded 

whether the land had been sold or rented to someone 

else and was still being used for agriculture. If the 

land was sold or rented out, the enumerator obtained

the name of the new operator and contacted that 

person, to ensure that he/she was included in the 

census.

Report Form 

Prior to each agriculture census, the content of all 

census report forms is reviewed to eliminate inquiries 

no longer needed, to identify new items necessary to 

meet user needs, and to better describe the agricultural 

situation in Guam. Data requests are solicited from 

farm organizations, land-grant colleges and 

universities, State and Federal agencies, State 

Department of Agriculture, agribusinesses, and other 

users. Each respondent is asked to identify and justify 

its specific data needs.

A single version of the report form for the 2018 Guam 

Census of Agriculture was prepared by NASS, in 

cooperation with the University of Guam, College of 

Natural and Applied Sciences, and its Cooperative 

Extension and Outreach Service; the Guam 

Department of Agriculture; and various USDA 

agencies. Based on their comments, the content of 

the 2018 census report form remained almost 

unchanged from the previous census. 

Training Program 

The project manager, and enumerators employed for 

the census in Guam received special training in 

accordance with instructions prepared by NASS. The 

training included an overview of the census of 

agriculture program, and a detailed discussion of the 

enumerator's instructions manual and the census 

report form.

REPORT FORM PROCESSING 

Data Capture

The Census Bureau’s National Processing Center 

(NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to print, 

label, and ship the questionnaires to Guam. 

Completed questionnaires were then returned to NPC 

for data capture and scanning.

NASS staff on site at the NPC provided technical 

guidance and monitored NPC processing activities. 

All report forms returned to the NPC were 

immediately checked in, using bar codes printed on 

the mailing label. With the small survey universe, it 

was determined that a key from paper application 

would be most economical. All forms keyed were 

then scanned and loaded into the Feith file 

cabinet. The images were available for analytical 

review of the data as well as for archive purposes.

The keying staff evaluated the contents and captured 

pertinent responses. An independent quality control 

process occurs after initial keying where ten percent 

of the captured data is keyed a second time. 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 or receive additional 

training. The measured error rate for the entire survey

was 0.39%. The images and the captured data were 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

transferred to NASS’s centralized network and 

became available to NASS analysts on a flow basis. 

The images were available for use in all stages of 

review.

Editing Data

Captured data were processed through a computer 

formatting 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 computer batch edit process. Each execution of the 

computer batch edit flowed as the data were received 

from the National Processing Center (NPC).

All 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). 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. Strategies for determining replacement 

values are discussed in the next section. 

Imputing Data 

The edit systematically checked reported data sectionby-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 used additional information 

sources, examined the scanned image, and determined 

an appropriate action. 

Data Analysis

Once keyed, the data from each report form were 

available to NASS analysts in Washington, DC, via 

electronic media, for computer editing and analysis. 

Data from each report were subjected to a detailed 

item-by-item computer edit. The edit performed 

comprehensive checks for consistency and 

reasonableness, corrected erroneous or inconsistent 

data; supplied missing data based on similar farms, 

and assigned farm classification codes necessary for 

tabulating the data. 

Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed by 

statisticians to identify inconsistencies and potential 

coverage problems. Comparisons were made with 

previous census data, as well as other available data. 

Tallies of all selected data items for various sets of 

criteria which included, but were not limited to, 

geographic levels, farm types, and sales levels were 

reviewed. When necessary, data inconsistencies were 

resolved.

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. Farm counts are not considered sensitive and 

are not subject to disclosure. Cell suppression will be 

used to protect the cells that are determined to be 

sensitive to a disclosure of information.

Based on agency standards, data cells were 

determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of 

information if they failed either of two rules. First, 

the threshold rule failed if the data cell contained less 

than three operations. For example, if only one farmer 

produced hogs on the island, NASS could not publish 

the island total for hog inventory without disclosing 

the individuals’ information. Second, the dominance 

rule failed if the distribution of the data within the cell 

allowed a data user to estimate any respondent’s data 

too closely. A (p)-percent rule will be used to 

determine dominance. Under this rule, if the two 

largest contributing farms’ values to the county total 

are subtracted from the estimated total, the remainder 

must exceed a specified (p)-percent of the largest 

contributed value. If the remainder fails to exceed the 

specified percentage, the value is not published. For 

example, if there are many farmers producing hogs on 

the island and some of them were large enough to 

dominate the cell total, NASS could not publish the 

county total for hog 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 are referred to as primary 

suppressions. 
A - 4 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

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 are properly protected in all 

linear relationships in all tables. These data cells are 

referred to as complementary suppressions. These 

cells are not themselves sensitive to a disclosure of 

information, 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. A data user cannot 

determine whether a cell with a (D) represents a 

primary or complementary suppression.

NASS 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 the Island, analysts requested an override 

and a different complement cell was chosen.

MEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS 

PROCESS 

Uncertainty is introduced into the data in compiling 

the list of farm operators, in NASS’ data collection 

procedures, in data editing and processing, and in 

compiling the final data. Additionally, NASS uses 

statistical procedures to both measure errors in the 

various processes and in making adjustments for 

those errors in the final data.

Variability in Census Estimates due to 

Statistical Adjustment 

In conducting the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture, 

efforts were initiated to measure error associated with 

the adjustments for farm operations that were on the 

list of farm operators, but did not respond to the 

census report form. This error measurement was 

developed from the standard error of the estimates at 

the island level, where appropriate, and were 

expressed as coefficients of variation (CVs) at the 

island level. Coefficients of variation are displayed in 

the Quick Stats database. 

Coefficient of variation is a measure of the relative 

amount of error associated with a sample estimate. 

Specifically, it is the standard error of a point estimate 

divided by that estimate, generally multiplied times 

100 so that it can be reported as a percentage. This 

relative measure allows the reliability of a range of 

estimates to be compared. For example, the standard 

error is often larger for large population estimates 

than for small population estimates, but the large 

population estimates may have a smaller CV, 

indicating a more reliable estimate. Every estimate for 

the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture has a 

corresponding CV published with it. NASS has 

identified the following index to use when evaluating 

coefficient of variation for the 2018 Guam Census of 

Agriculture. 

• Low Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of 

Variation (CV) 30 percent or higher. Caution 

should be used when using this estimate in any 

form. Please consult NASS for more information 

or guidance. 

• Medium Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of 

Variation (CV) between 15 percent and 29.9 

percent. 

• High Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of 

Variation (CV) less than 15 percent.

NONMEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS 

PROCESS 

As noted in the previous section, sampling errors can 

be introduced from the nonresponse adjustment 

procedure. This error is measureable. However, 

nonsampling errors are imbedded in the census 

process that 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 list of farmers for the 

census, to design an understandable report form with 

clear instructions, to train enumerators on how to ask 

the questions and record the answers on the report 

form, and to minimize processing errors through the 

use of quality control measures. 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. 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 5

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

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 reporting errors. Poor 

instructions and ambiguous definitions lead to 

misreporting. Respondents may not remember 

accurately, may estimate responses, or enumerators 

may record an item in the wrong cell. To reduce 

reporting and recording errors, detailed instructions 

for completing the report form were provided to each 

enumerator, and questions were phrased as clearly as 

possible. In addition, each respondent’s answers were 

checked for completeness and consistency by the 

complex edit and imputation system.

Item Nonresponse 

All item nonresponse actions provide another 

opportunity to introduce measurement errors. 

Regardless of whether it was previously reported data, 

administrative data, the nearest neighbor algorithm, 

the fully conditional specification method, or 

manually imputed by an analyst, some risk exists that 

the imputed value does not equal the actual value.

General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS REPORT 

FORM

Prior to each agriculture census, the content of all 

census report forms is reviewed to eliminate inquiries 

no longer needed and to identify new items necessary 

to meet user needs, so that published data better 

describes the agricultural situation in Guam. Data 

requests are solicited from farm organizations, landgrant colleges and universities, State and Federal 

agencies, State departments of agriculture, 

agribusinesses, and other users. Each user is asked to 

identify and justify its specific data needs.

The report form for the 2018 Census of Agriculture 

for Guam was prepared by NASS, in cooperation with 

an inter-agency working group that include members 

of the University of Guam, College of Natural and 

Applied Sciences, the Cooperative Extension and 

Outreach, the Guam Department of Agriculture, and 

other data users. While similar to the report form used 

in 2007, changes were made to reflect changes in 

Guam's agriculture. A sample copy of the report form 

is included in this appendix.

DATA CHANGES

Following are descriptions of the report form 

changes.

Added items include:

• Section 3, “Vegetables and Melons” - “Winged 

beans”, and “Pepino Melons”, as response 

options. 

• Section 4, “Fruit, Nuts, and Nursery Crops” -

“Coffee” and “Dragon Fruits”, as response 

options. 

• Section 9, “Aquaculture” – “Catfish”, 

“Milkfish”, “Shrimp”, “Tilapia” and “Other 

Aquaculture products”, as response options. 

• Section 13, “Practices” – To report computer use, 

internet access, and type of access utilized for the 

farm business. 

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

The following definitions provide a detailed 

description of specific terms and phrases used in this 

publication. Report form section number references 

refer to the Guam Census of Agriculture report form, 

18-A1(GU). Many of the definitions are the same as 

those used in earlier censuses.

Crops. The report form contained individual 

inquiries for crops commonly grown and space to 

write in those less frequently produced. The 

information requested for 2018 included acres of 

crops harvested and pounds harvested for sale. 

The units of measure for reporting quantities of some 

crops have varied from one census to another. The 

aim has been to permit reporting in the units of 

measure currently in use. The quantities harvested for 

each crop are expressed in the units of measure given 

on the 2018 report form.

Root crops - The land area from which individual root 

crops were harvested for sale was obtained in acres 

and tenths of acres. When two or more crops were 

harvested from the same land, the area was to be 

reported for each separate crop or planting. Total 

quantities of each crop harvested for sale were also 

reported.

Vegetables and melons - Land area for individual 

crops and the quantity harvested for sale for each crop 

were collected.

Fruits, nuts, and nursery crops - The total number of 

acres planted in bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut 

trees and plants was collected. For individual fruit or 

nut crops, data on the number of bearing and 
B - 2 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

nonbearing trees and plants, and the quantity 

harvested for sale, were reported. For nursery crops, 

the land area harvested, both square feet under cover 

and acres in the open, were collected, along with the 

value of sales.

Equipment. The following types of equipment on 

the place at time of enumeration regardless of 

ownership, were reported if they were operable:

Automobiles - This includes all vehicles used 

primarily as passenger cars.

Motortrucks - This includes pickup trucks and trucktrailer combinations.

Tillers of all kinds - This includes all types of tillers 

used to prepare soil for planting.

Tractors - This includes all wheel and track-laying 

(crawler) tractors and garden tractors.

Expenses. The 2018 report form contained questions 

on seven types of farm expenses incurred between 

January 1 and December 31, 2018, whether made by 

the farm operator, his/her landlord, or both. A farm 

operator who rented part of his/her land to others 

reported only the expenses on the land he/she 

operated.

Feed purchased for livestock, poultry, and fish -

Expenses for feed for livestock, poultry, and fish 

include total cash payments made for pasture used, 

salt concentrates, mineral supplements, grain, hay, 

mill feeds, and any other items purchased for feeding 

livestock, poultry, and fish on the place. Expenses 

made for the grinding and mixing of feed and the 

estimated cost of items furnished to the operator by a 

landlord or others are also included. Payments made 

by a tenant to a landlord for feed grown on the tenant's 

farm are excluded.

Machine hire and customwork - Expenses for 

machine hire and customwork relate to tractor hire, 

plowing, and spraying. Any amount spent for the 

labor involved is considered to be part of the expense. 

The costs of hauling, trucking, or exchange work 

without pay are omitted.

Purchases of fertilizers and manure - These expenses 

include the total amount spent for manure and 

commercial fertilizers of all kinds for use on the farm.

Purchases of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides

- This item relates to total cash expenses for all 

chemicals, sprays, dusts, etc., used to control weeds, 

pests, insects, or disease on crops.

Purchases of livestock, poultry, and fish - This item 

includes all cash expenses for livestock, poultry, and 

fish purchased for the place. The cost of livestock and 

poultry bought and resold within 30 days is not 

included.

Seed cost - These expenses include all seed purchased 

for planting, as well as seedlings.

Wages and salaries paid to employees or hired farm 

workers - Expenses for hired farm labor include total 

cash payments made to family members and others 

for farm labor. Payments to persons supplied by a 

contractor or a cooperative organization and paid 

directly by them or by the person in charge are also 

included. 

Farm operator. The term "operator" designates a 

person who operates a farm, either by doing the work 

himself/herself or by directly supervising the work. 

The operator may be the owner, a member of the 

owner's household, a hired manager, or a tenant, 

renter, or sharecropper. If the operator rents land to 

others or has land worked on shares by others, he/she 

is considered the operator only if the land is retained 

for his/her own operation. In the case of partnership, 

only one partner is counted as an operator. By 

definition, the number of operators is the same as the 

number of farms.

Farms or operators reporting. Figures for "farms 

reporting" or "operators reporting" represent the 

number of farms or operators reporting the specified 

item. The difference between the total number of 

farms and the number of farms reporting a particular 

item represents the number of farms not having that 

item.

Fish and Other Aquaculture. Includes catfish, 

milkfish, shrimp, tilapia, and other aquaculture 

products. 
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 3

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Land in farms. The land in farms was determined 

from the answers to questions 1 through 4 in section 

1 of the report form (see appendix B). The amounts 

of land reported as owned and reported as rented from 

others were added together, and the amount of land 

reported as rented to others was subtracted from that 

sum. The result represents "land in farms." 

Land owned. This includes all land that the operator 

or his/her spouse held under title, purchased contract, 

homestead law, or as heir or trustee of an undivided 

estate at the time of enumeration.

Land rented from others. This includes not only 

land the operator rented or leased from others, but also 

land worked on shares for others or land occupied rent 

free.

Land rented to others. This includes all land that the 

operator rented to others and all land assigned to 

others on shares or rent free. For the most part, land 

rented to others represents agricultural land, but it also 

includes land rented for residential or other purposes. 

The tenant is considered to be the operator of land 

leased, rented, or worked on shares, even though 

his/her landlord may supervise the operations. The 

landlord is considered to be the operator of only that 

portion of the land not assigned to tenants.

Land use. Land in farms at the time of enumeration 

is categorized according to the way it was used 

between January 1 and December 31, 2018. The land 

is counted only once, even though it may have had 

more than one use during the year.

Cropland harvested - This refers to all land from 

which any crop was harvested. It also includes land 

in field crops that were grazed when mature or almost 

mature, and land in nonbearing fruit or nut trees and 

plants. Land from which two or more crops were 

harvested and which was also used for other purposes, 

either before or after the crops were harvested, was to 

be reported as cropland harvested without regard to 

the other uses.

Other cropland - This includes all cropland on the 

place that was used for pasture, and cropland on the 

place that was not used for crops or pasture. It 

includes land on which there was total crop failure due 

to hurricane, flood, drought, insects, fire, or other 

causes; cropland lying idle; and cropland planted with 

soil improvement grasses or other cover crops planted 

for improvement. It does not include land so hilly, 

rocky, or wet that the cost of improving it for 

cultivation would be more than the operator could 

pay. It does not include land in roads, streams, or 

swamps. 

Pasture or grazing land - This refers to all land used 

for pasture or grazing, except cropland. It includes all 

woodland where livestock pastured or grazed. It does 

not include cropland, even though cattle or other 

livestock may have been grazed on it.

Woodland - This includes all land that is covered in 

woods or forests. It does not include woodland 

pasture.

Other land - This refers to all land not included in the 

other land use classifications, such as house and other 

building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, and land area of 

ponds and wasteland.

Livestock and poultry. Inventory data for livestock 

and poultry relate to the number on hand at the time 

of enumeration. All livestock and poultry were to be 

enumerated on the place where they were at the time 

of enumeration regardless of who owned them. 

Livestock on unfenced land were to be reported as 

being on the place identified as the headquarters of the 

person who had control over them. 

Operator characteristics. Data were obtained to 

classify the operators according to the following 

seven characteristics:

Age of operator - Operators were classified by age 

into six groups. The average age was obtained by 

dividing the sum of the ages of all operators reporting 

by the number reporting.

Main occupation - If the operator devoted 50 percent 

or more of his/her work time to agricultural activities, 

his/her main occupation was considered to be 

agriculture, otherwise his/her occupation was 

considered to be nonagricultural.

Race of operator - The race, or national origin, of the 

operator was collected for the first time in 1993. 

Respondents were asked to choose between 
B - 4 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Chamorro, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, White, or 

Other to describe their race or national origin.

Residence of operator - Operators were classified by 

residence according to whether or not they lived on 

the farms operated. Where all the land was rented 

from others or worked on shares for others, the 

dwelling was considered to be on the farm operated 

provided the dwelling he/she occupied was included 

in the rental agreement. In such cases, the dwelling 

was not necessarily on the land being operated. 

Similarly, an operator who did not live on the land 

being cultivated or grazed, but who had some 

agricultural operations (other than a home garden) at 

his/her dwelling, was considered to be living on the 

farm.

Sex of operator - Operators are classified as male or 

female.

Work off farm - The extent to which operators rely on 

nonfarm sources for part of their income is indicated 

by the number of days worked off the farm during the 

year. Work off the farm was defined to include work 

on someone else's farm for pay as well as all types of 

nonfarm jobs, businesses, and professions whether the 

work was done on the farm premises or elsewhere. 

Exchange work was not included. 

Years on present farm - Operators were classified by 

years on present farm into four groups. These data 

were based on the question asking the year the 

operator began operation of the present farm or any 

part of it.

Value of products sold. Data for value of products 

sold were obtained for each group of crops or main 

type of livestock sold from the farm. Data were 

obtained for sales of field and forage crops, 

vegetables, fruits and nuts, nursery crops, poultry and 

poultry products, cattle and calves, hogs and pigs, fish 

and other aquaculture products, other livestock and 

livestock products and chicken eggs.

Farms by age of operator. Enumerators entered the 

operator's age, as of his/her last birthday, on the report 

form. The computer edit classified the operator's age 

into one of the following age groups:

Under 35 years 35 to 44 years

45 to 54 years 55 to 64 years

65 years and over

Farms by size. All farms were classified by size on 

the basis of the total land area established in each 

farm. According to the census definition, a farm is 

essentially an operating unit, not an ownership tract. 

All land operated or managed by one person or 

partnership represents one farm. In the case of tenants, 

the land assigned to each tenant is considered a 

separate farm, even though the landlord may consider 

the entire landholding to be one unit rather than 

several separate units.

Farms by tenure of operator. In the 2018 census, 

all farms were classified by tenure of operator on the 

basis of data reported for land owned, rented from 

others, worked on shares for others, and managed for 

others. The same classification has been used since 

1964. During processing operations, each report form 

was coded to indicate whether the operator was a full

owner, part owner, or tenant.

Full owners - Operate only land they own

Part owners - Operate land they own and also land 

they rent from others

Tenants - Rent from others or work the land they 

operate on shares for others

Farms by value of agricultural products sold. All 

farms were classified on the basis of the total value of 

agricultural products sold. The total was obtained by 

adding the reported values of all products sold from 

the farm. The value of livestock, milk, poultry and 

eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts, all field crops, 

ornamental plants, and all other crops was obtained 

from the operator at the time of enumeration. The 

computer edit classified the value of agricultural 

products sold into one of the following groups:

Less than $1,200 $1,200 to $2,499

$2,500 to $4,999 $5,000 to $7,499

$7,500 to $9,999 $10,000 or more
