December Farm Prices Received Index Unchanged From Last Month

The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in December, at 136 percent, based on

1990-92=100, was unchanged from November. The Crop Index is down 2 points (1.3 percent) but the Livestock Index

increased 3 points (2.6 percent). Producers received higher prices for milk, soybeans, grapes, and strawberries and lower

prices for oranges, cattle, corn, and broccoli. In addition to prices, the overall index is also affected by the seasonal change

based on a 3-year average mix of commodities producers sell. Increased monthly marketings of wheat, milk, oranges, and

lettuce offset decreased marketings of soybeans, corn, cattle, and grapes.

The preliminary All Farm Products Index is up 1 point (0.7 percent) from December 2008. The Food Commodities Index, at

138, increased 2 points (1.5 percent) from last month and increased 5 points (3.8 percent) from December 2008.

Prices Paid Index Unchanged

The December Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is

177 percent of the 1990-92 average. The index is unchanged from November but 1 point (0.6 percent) below December 2008.

Lower prices in December for diesel, feeder cattle, other services, and potash & phosphate offset higher prices for herbicides,

feeder pigs, supplements, and LP gas.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates

Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The average

commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash receipts for

the commodity.

Survey Procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about 2000

mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance of being

included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total U.S. production. Livestock prices

are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing

organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and livestock are not included since they

represent very small percentages of the total marketings. Grain marketed for seed is also excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices

are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, state agencies,

and universities.

Summary and Estimation Procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight

average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a U.S. price based on expanded marketings.

Recommendations are prepared by the State Field Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington,

D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent historic estimates.

Revisions: For most items, the current month's preliminary price represents a 3-5 day period around the 15th of the month.

Previous month's prices represent actual dollars received for quantities sold during the entire month. Revisions are published

in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices.

Reliability: U.S. price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one percent for the

major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for non-probability

commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the U.S.

relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any nonsampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain

correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts

are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these nonsampling errors.


Prices Paid by Farmers

The December Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) at 177

(1990-92=100), is unchanged from November 2009 but down 0.6 percent from December 2008.

PRODUCTION INDEX: The December index, at 179, increased 0.6 percent from last month but decreased 2.2 percent

from last year. Higher prices in December for herbicides, feeder pigs, supplements, and LP gas more than offset lower prices

for diesel, feeder cattle, other services, and potash & phosphate.

Feed: The December index, at 184, increased 1.1 percent from November but is unchanged from last December. Since

November, higher prices for supplements, complete feeds, and concentrates more than offset lower prices for feed grains and

hay & forages.

Livestock & Poultry: The December index, at 113, is unchanged from last month but decreased 11 percent from last year.

Since November, lower prices for feeder cattle offset higher prices for feeder pigs. The December feeder cattle price, at

$93.10 per cwt, is down $1.00 from the November price. December feeder pigs averaged $117.00 per cwt, up $19.00 from

November.

Fertilizer: The December index, at 254, is unchanged from November but is 36 percent below December a year ago. Since

November, higher prices for nitrogen and mixed fertilizer offset lower prices for potash & phosphate.

Chemicals: The December index, at 157, increased 4.7 percent from November and 8.3 percent from last December.

Compared with last month, prices are higher for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides/other.

Fuels: The December index, at 264, is down 0.4 percent from a month earlier but increased 28 percent from December 2008.

Compared with last month, prices are higher for LP gas but lower for diesel and gasoline.

Machinery: The December index, at 227, increased 0.4 percent from November and is 5.1 percent above last December.

Compared with last month, prices are higher for self-propelled machinery.

CONSUMER PRICE INDEX: The November 2009 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for

all urban consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 216.330 (1982-84=100). The

October index is 216.177. For the 12-month period ending in November, the overall index increased 1.8 percent.

2009 Prices Paid Index for Beef Cattle Production (1964-68=100) 1/: 806

1/ The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers and Ranchers for Beef Cattle Production input items is for the period of November

2008 through October 2009. The components of this index include the production indexes of Fuels, Supplies & Repairs,

Autos & Trucks, Tractors & Self Propelled Machinery, Other Machinery, Building Materials, Interest, Wage Rates, and Farm

Services & Rent. These components are weighted to the overall index value by their importance in the cost of producing beef

cattle, the weights are unchanged from a year earlier.

Reliability of Prices Paid Estimates

Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce

agricultural commodities. Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should equal total producer

expenditures for the item.

Survey Procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that sell goods and services to farmers and

ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average response rate in

the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the price for the specified item "most commonly bought by farmers" or

that was the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to represent all production input items

purchased. The survey reference period for most items is the 5 business days centered around the 15th of the month.

Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed.

Summary and Estimation Procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is summarized as a nonprobability survey.

Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and U.S. level using weights available from expenditure data and other

administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the State Field Offices and Headquarters for review by the

Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price level for individual items surveyed are combined

to the regional and U.S. levels, and are published as prices paid indexes referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid

indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor supplies, and marketing containers are updated

based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indexes.

Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision

must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely for March when

separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change.

Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors.

However, analytical measures approximate the U.S. relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent. Any

nonsampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting

questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to

minimize these nonsampling errors.

Program Change: Effective January 1, 1995, the National Agricultural Statistics Service updated the weights and changed

the construction of its prices paid and received by farmers indexes. A Federal Register Notice dated October 28, 1994

discussed these program modifications.

A 1990-92 reference and base period replaced the 1977 reference and 1971-73 base weight period. Five-year moving average

weights replaced the current fixed 1971-73 base period weights. The 1910-14=100 price indexes, required by statute for

computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 1990-92=100 indexes. The new indexes were

constructed by multiplying the ratios of the current prices to the base period prices by the moving average weights (adjusted

for seasonal marketing patterns for the prices received indexes).
