Primary direction was by Shirley Kaliek, Associate Director for Economic Fields (to May 1983), Charles A. Waite, her successor, and Michael G. Farrell, Assistant Director for Economic and Agriculture Censuses. This report was prepared in the Agriculture Division under the general supervision of Orvin L. Wllhlte, Chief (to January 1980); Arnold L. Bollenbacher, Chief (to June 1982). and John H. Berry, Chief (from July 1982). Many divisions contributed to this report. Data Preparation performed the clerical processing; Administrative Services provided the forms design and other administrative services; Publications Services contributed in publication planning and design, editorial review, composition, and printing procurement; Computer Services provided the computer proc- essing facilities; Field provided selected data collection activities; and Economic Surveys assisted in preparation of data collection and proc- essing procedures and computer programs. Members of the Census Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and representatives of both public and private organizations made signifi- cant recommendations which helped establish data content. Members of various agencies of the U.S. Department of Agriculture provided valuable advice in the planning, publicizing, and processing phases of the census, and in helping farmers and ranchers complete the report forms. The press, farm magazines, radio and television stations, and farm organizations were most helpful m publicizing the census and encouraging cooperation of farm and ranch operators. Special tribute is paid to the millions of farm and ranch operators who furnished the information requested. Only through their cooperation was it possible to collect and publish the data in this report. Library of Congress Cataloging In Publication Data Main entry under title: 1982 census of agriculture.

The 1982 Census of Agriculture is the 22d taken by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth decennial census of population. From 1840 to 1950, an agriculture census was taken as part of the decennial census. A separate mid-decade census of agriculture was conducted in 1925, 1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, a census of agri- culture 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 to coincide with the 1982 Economic Censuses covering manufacturing, mining, construction, retail trade, wholesale trade, service in- dustries, and selected transportation activities. After 1982, the agriculture census will revert to a 5-year cycle and be taken covering years ending in 2 and 7. USES OF THE CENSUS The census of agriculture is the leading source of statistics about the Nation's agriculture and the only source of con- sistent, comparable data about agriculture at the county, State, and national levels. Census statistics are used by Congress in developing and changing farm programs and for determining the effects of these programs. Many national and State programs affecting agriculture are designed or allocated on the basis of census data, such as funds for extension services, research, and soil conservation projects. Private industry uses census statis- tics to provide a more effective production and distribution system for the farm community. AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED The census of agriculture is required by law under title 13, United States Code, sections 142(a) and 191, which directs that the census be taken in 1979, in 1983, and in every fifth year after 1983 covering the prior year. The 1982 census includes each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. FARM DEFINITION Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for census purposes were first established, the farm definition has been changed nine times. The current definition, first used for the 1974 final reports, is any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or normally would have been sold during the census year. The previous definition (used for the 1959, 1964, and 1969 censuses, and for the 1974 pre- liminary reports) was any place with less than 10 acres from which $250 or more of agricultural products were sold or normally would have been sold during the census year, or any place of 10 acres or more from which $50 or more of agri- cultural products were sold or normally would have been sold during the census year. COMPARABILITY OF DATA All censuses since 1969 were conducted primarily by mail. To improve the coverage of the 1978 census, especially in counting the number of small farms, the mailout/mailback enumeration was supplemented by the direct enumeration of all households in approximately 6,400 sample segments in rural areas in all States, except Alaska and Hawaii. Due to budget reductions, the direct enumeration area sample was eliminated for 1982. The U.S., region, and State data for 1978 shown in the 1978 Census of Agriculture publications included data for farms re- presented on the mail list plus estimates from the area sample for farms not on the mail list. The 1978 county data included only farms represented on the mail list as the sample was not large enough to provide reliable estimates for each county. To provide comparable data for 1982 and 1978, estimates from the 1978 area sample have been subtracted from the 1978 data. Thus, the 1978 data in this report include only farms re- presented on the mail list. Appendix B includes a detailed dis- cussion of the effect of the area sample on census compa- rability (except Alaska and Hawaii). In general, data for 1982, 1978, and 1974 are not fully com- parable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses due to changes in the farm definition. Data on acreages and inventories for 1982 and 1978 are generally comparable. Dollar figures shown for expenses and agricultural product sales have not been adjusted for changes in price levels between census years. TABULAR PRESENTATION State data— In chapter 1, State tables 1 through 43 show de- tailed State level data usually accompanied by historical data for one or more past censuses. Tables 44 through 50 provide 1982 State data cross-tabulated by various farm classifications. County data— Selected data items are presented by county in chapter 2. Tables 1 through 16 include general data for all counties. The counties are listed in alphabetical order in the 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION V column headings. In tables 17 through 36, only counties re- porting the data item are included in the table stub. Counties not having the item, or with a limited number of farms re- porting the item, are not listed separately. Data for these counties are combined and presented as "all other counties." PRELIMINARY REPORTS Preliminary reports have been published separately for each county with 10 farms or more in 1982, each State, and the United States. This series provided, at the earliest possible date, information on major data items together with comparable final data from the 1978 census. The data items were standard except in tables 4 and 5 where the selected crops varied by State according to their relative importance. For farms, land in farms, livestock inventories, and other major items at the county level, differences between the pre- liminary and final figures are generally less than 5 percent. At the State level, differences are significantly less. MICROFICHE AND COMPUTER TAPES The data in this report and final data for individual counties are available on microfiche. The final microfiche county tables have the same format as the county preliminary report. Also, computer tapes are available for the same summary statistics that are found in the preliminary and volume 1 reports. Micro- fiche reports are sold by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. Computer tapes are sold by the Customer Services Branch, Data User Services Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. Inquiries about the availability and cost of unpublished tabula- tions should be directed to the Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233. CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES In keeping with the provisions of title 13, 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 dis- closure, so this' information may be given even though other information is withheld. DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS Appendix A includes definitions and explanations of selected terms used in the tables. "SEE TEXT" REFERENCE Items in the tables which are followed by the reference "see text" are explained or defined in appendix A. INVENTORIES, PRODUCTION, AND SALES DATA Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and equip- ment are as of December 31 of the census year. Crop and live- stock production, sales, and expense data are for the calendar year, except for a few crops (such as citrus) for which the pro- duction year overlaps the calendar year. UNPUBLISHED DATA Copies of computer printouts of the following unpublished county summary tables are available: Land in Farms With Cropland Harvested and Land in Farms and Cropland Harvested on Irrigated Farms, by Size of Farm: 1982 Owned and Rented Land— Farms, Land in Farms, and Value of Land and Buildings: 1982 Farms With Grazing Permits: 1982 Other special unpublished tables and summaries on com- puter tape can be developed to individual user specifications.

A 7 STATISTICAL ADJUSTMENTS A-9 NONSAMPLING ERRORS A-9 CENSUS COVERAGE A-9 TAKING THE CENSUS Method of Enumeration All censuses beginning with the 1969 census have been con- ducted primarily by nnail. The 1978 census was the only census to include a mailout/mailback enumeration supplemented by the direct interview of all households in a sample of area seg- ments. This combination of the mailout/mailback enumeration plus the area sample was used in 1978 to improve complete- ness of coverage for U.S., regional, and State level agriculture census statistics. Due to budget reductions, the area sample was eliminated in 1982. In censuses prior to the 1969 census, enumerators were as- signed to specific areas and called on all farm operators within each area. Beginning with the 1950 census, copies of the report form were mailed prior to the enumeration date to each box- holder served by post offices in predominantly rural areas and farmers were asked to complete the forms and have them ready for the enumerator to pick up. The mailout/mailback enumeration procedure was not used in taking the agriculture census in Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. A discussion of the direct enumeration methods used there appears in the reports for these outlying areas. A description of the special direct enumeration of citrus care- takers is included in the Definitions and Explanations section. Mail List The mail list for the 1982 census was comprised of all in- dividuals, businesses, and organizations that could be readily identified as being associated with agriculture. The list was as- sembled from the records of the 1978 census and administra- tive records of various government agencies, primarily the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Department of Agri- culture (USDA). Lists of large or specialized operations, such as nurseries, specialty crop farms, broiler growers, fish farms, livestock farms, and cattle feedlot operations, were obtained from State and Federal agencies, trade associations, and similar organi- zations. Lists of multiestablishment companies having one or more establishments (or locations) producing agricultural pro- ducts were obtained from the 1978 census and updated using information from the Standard Statistical Establishment List maintained by the Census Bureau. A preliminary census mail list was assembled using names and addresses from the 1978 census and administrative source lists available in September 1981. Those records which were less likely to be farms were included in the 1982 Farm and Ranch Identification Survey. Approximately 3 million farm and ranch forms were mailed in March 1982 to names which ap- peared on only one source list or selected combinations of lists which had yielded a low percentage of farm operators in the 1978 census. As a result of this survey, nonfarm names and addresses were deleted from the census mail list, new tenant and successor operations were added, and the names, addresses, and size information were updated for the identified active farm operators. The final census mail list was developed using results of the 1982 Farm and Ranch Identification Survey, names and ad- dresses from the unduplicated preliminary list that were re- tained without precensus verification, and new or updated source lists acquired after the preliminary unduplication. The preliminary and final census mail lists were both constructed by merging and unduplicating the names and addresses from the various source lists on the basis of Employer Identification num- bers. Social Security numbers, and names and addresses. To faci- litate processing, each name on the administrative source lists was assigned a geographic code indicating the State and county location of the operation and a size code indicating an estimated value of sales. Most duplicates were identified and resolved prior to mailing. Other duplicate names were either reported by respondents or located during office processing. Report Forms In 1982, 12 regional report form versions were used. These forms were tailored primarily in sections 2 through 8 to list crops commonly produced in one or more States, and in sec- tion 15 to list livestock specialties produced. These modi- fications were made to enhance reporting of crop and live- stock data and to reduce respondent burden. Two report form versions were used to minimize the re- porting burden, particularly for small farms. Approximately 75 percent of all farms received the 4-page nonsample form covering major items such as land use, crops, livestock and poultry, market value of agricultural products sold, and operator characteristics. The 5-page sample form was mailed to all large and specialized farms (based on expected sales, acres, or standard industrial classification), all farms in Alaska and Hawaii, and approximately 17 percent of all other farms. The sample form contained all the items asked on the nonsample form plus the sample items (sections 22 through 28). The sample form and the information sheet appear in appen- dix B. 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-1 Initial Mailing The report forms were mailed in late December 1982 to the approximately 3,653,000 individuals, businesses, and organiza- tions on the mall list. The information sheet containing in- structions for completing the form and a brochure explain- ing the uses of the census data were included with each report form. Additional special instructions were included with re- port forms sent to grazing associations; feedlot operations; in- stitutional organizations; and producers of poultry under con- tract, bees and honey, fish, laboratory animals, worms, and nursery and greenhouse products. In an effort to provide additional help to farmers in com- pleting their reports, copies of an Agriculture Census Guide booklet were sent to county agricultural agencies, institutions, or businesses to whom farmers might turn for help. Included were vocational agriculture instructors, and USDA county offices— Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, Farmers Home Administration, Soil Conservation Service, and Cooperative Extension Service. This guide contained descrip- tions and definitions for various items in more detail than the instructions included with each report form. Representatives of the above agencies graciously consented to assist farmers in completing their report forms if requested. Foliowup Procedures The data collection effort included a reminder card and five foliowup letters, two of which were accompanied by a report form. Foliowup reminders were sent to nonrespondents on a flow basis at 3- to 4-week intervals starting in late February and continuing until late June 1983. In early April 1983, an addi- tional foliowup letter was sent to nonrespondents in low response counties in 14 States. Telephone calls were made to nonrespondents who were expected to have large operations (those with expected sales of $100,000 or more) or who were located in low response counties. A nonresponse adjustment procedure was used to represent the final nonrespondent farms in the census results. A description of this procedure is included in the Statistical Adjustments section. DATA PROCESSING Selected report forms were reviewed prior to keying the data onto magnetic tape. These included reports with attached corre- spondence, and reports with remarks or no positive data on the front page. All new successors reported by former operators were researched to see if they had already been included in the census mailing. Report forms were mailed to successor addresses not located on the mail file. This processing improved the coverage of the census. The data for each report form 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 within the same county, and assigned farm classification codes necessary for tabulating the data. Significant computer- generated changes to the data were reviewed and verified. In the computer edit, farms with sales, acreage, or com- modities exceeding specified levels were tested for historical comparability. Key items, such as acreage and sales, were com- pared for significant changes between 1978 and 1982. Sizeable historical differences were resolved or verified, by telephone if necessary. Respondents who reported sales or acreage above specified levels on nonsample forms were sent correspondence requesting the additional sample data. Report forms with reported sales of $1,000,000 or more or 30,000 acres or more, and other selected problem reports were reviewed by statisticians in the Agriculture Division. Problems that could not be resolved by reference to other information on the report were resolved by contacting the respondents by telephone or correspondence. Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed by statisticians to identify any inconsistencies and potential cover- age problems. Comparisons were made with previous census data, estimates published by the USDA and other available check data. Selected report forms were reviewed and problem entries were either verified as being correct or the data were corrected. MAJOR DATA CHANGES The content of the 1982 census report form is similar to that of the 1978 form. To limit respondent burden, the 1978 and 1982 forms included only data items needed at the county level, either on a complete or sample basis. The 1978 census data items which were eliminated from the 1982 form include: Land held under foreign ownership Gallons purchased of gasoline; diesel fuel; LP gas, butane and propane; and fuel oil Animal health costs for livestock and poultry The following new data items were added to the 1982 re- port form: Interest expense for the farm business Source of irrigation water Year in which the operator began to operate the farm More extensive data on Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loans were collected in 1982. DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS The following definitions and explanations provide a more detailed description of the terms used in this publication than are available in the tables or on the report form. For an exact wording of the questions on the 1982 census report forms and the information sheet which accompanied these forms, see appendix B. Most definitions of terms are the same as those used in earlier censuses. The more important exceptions are also noted here. Farms or farms reporting— The term "farms" or "farms re- porting" in the presentation of data denotes 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 Land in farms-=-The acreage designated in the tables as "land in "farms" consists primarily of agricultural land used for crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes woodland and wasteland not A-2 APPENDIX A 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE actually under cultivation or used for pasture or grazing, pro- vided 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 pro- cessing operations. 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 to be 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 was part of a farm or ranch. Grazing land operated by grazing associations was to be reported by the person chiefly responsible for conducting the business of the associa- tion. All land in Indian reservations used for growing crops or grazing livestock was to be included as land in farms. Land in reservations not reported by individual Indians or non- Indians was to be reported in the name of the cooperative group that used the land. In some instances, an entire Indian reservation was reported as one farm. Land area— The approximate land area of counties and States shown for 1982 represents the total land area as determined by records and calculations updated as of January 1, 1983. The county land areas were remeasured in 1980. The previous county measurements were done in 1940. Any .differences be- tween the land area in 1982 and 1978 are due to these new measurements, annexations, and other changes affecting county boundaries. 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 vjlue of agricultural products was raised or pro- duced. It was usually the county containing all or the largest proportion of the land in the farm or viewed by the respon- dent as his/her principal county. For a limited number of Midwest and Western States, this procedure has resulted in the allocation of more land in farms to a county than the total land area of the county. To minimize this distortion, separate reports were required for large farms identified from the 1978 census as having more than one farm unit. Other reports re- ceived showing land in more than one county were separated into two or more reports if the data would significantly affect the county totals. Value of land and buildings— Respondents were asked to report their estimate of the current market value of land and buildings owned, rented or leased from others, and rented or leased to others. Market value refers to the respondent's estimate of what the land and buildings would sell for under current market conditions. If the value of land and buildings was not reported, it was estimated using the average value of land and buildings from a similar farm in the same geographic area. Harvested cropland— This category includes land from which crops were harvested or hay was cut, and land in orchards, citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from which two or more crops were harvested was counted only once, even though there was more than one use of the land. Cropland used only for pasture or grazing— This category in- cludes land used only for pasture or grazing that could have been used for crops without additional improvement, and all land planted in crops that were grazed before the crops reached maturity. Also included was all cropland used for rotation pas- ture and land in government diversion programs that were pastured. However, cropland that was pastured after crops were harvested was not to be included. Other cropland— This category includes cropland used only for soil improvement crops, land on which all crops failed, culti- vated summer fallow, idle cropland, and land planted in crops that were to be harvested after the census year. Total woodland— This category includes natural or planted woodlots or timber tracts, cutover and deforested land with young growth which has or will have value for wood products, and land planted for Christmas tree production. Land covered by sagebrush or mesquite was to be reported as other pasture- land and rangeland or other land. 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. Other land— This category includes land in house lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, wasteland, etc. In 1974, for farms with sales of less than $2,500, this category included pastureland and range- land other than cropland and woodland pastured in addition to land in house lots, barn lots, ponds, roads, and wasteland. Land set aside in federal farm programs— This land includes land diverted or set aside under the provisions of the Federal Com- modity Acreage Reduction Program. These data are for the acres of cropland taken out of production by growers of wheat, cotton, rice, corn, sorghum, barley, and oats, and devoted to conservation uses. No information was obtained as to which crops would have been grown on the acres set aside. Irrigated land— This category includes all land watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers, furrows or ditches, and spreader dikes. Included are supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each acre was to be counted only once regardless of the number of times it was irrigated or harvested. Operator— The term "operator" designates a person who oper- ates a farm, either doing the work or making day-to-day de- cisions about such things as planting, harvesting, feeding, marketing, etc. The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner's household, a salaried 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. For partnerships, only one partner is counted as an operator. If there is no clear-cut partner in charge, then the senior or oldest active partner is considered the operator. For census purposes, the number of operators is the same as the number of farms. In some cases, the operator was not the individual named on the address label of the report form, but another family member, a partner, or a hired manager who was actu- ally in charge of the farm operations. Operator characteristics— Data on characteristics such as resi- dence, race, Spanish origin, age, sex, principal occup3tion, and off-farm work were collected from all operators in 1982. If 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-3 operator characteristics of race, age, sex, and principal occu- pation were not reported, they were derived based on infor- mation reported by farms witli similar acreage size, tenure, and sales size. No imputations were made for nonresponse to place of residence, Spanish origin, off-farm work, or year began operation. For the 1982 and 1978 censuses, operators of Spanish origin were tabulated by reported race. Prior cen- suses included Spanish origin as "White" whenever separate data for the White race were shown. Selected farm production expenses-Since only selected pro- duction expenses incurred in 1982 were requested, the ex- pense data cannot be used in combination with gross sales to calculate net cash farm income. The 1979 Farm Finance Survey provided estimates on net cash farm income. In 1982, as in other recent censuses, operators producing crops, livestock, or poultry under contract frequently failed to report certain expenditure data. They often were unable or unwilling to estimate the cost of production inputs fur- nished by the contractors. As a consequence, the rate of impu- tation of expenditure data for these operations is considerably higher than it is for noncontract producers. Commercial fertilizer— The expense for commercial ferti- lizer is the amount spent on fertilizer during 1982, ex- cluding the cost of application. Some fertilizer purchased in 1982 may not have been applied during the year. If the fertilizer was applied by someone other than the operator, respondents were requested to report the cost of applica- tion as an expense for customwork, machine hire, and ren- tal of machinery and equipment. Other agricultural chemicals— These expenses include the cost of all insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other pesticides, excluding costs of application. Data exclude commercial fertilizer purchased. The cost of lime is included in the 1978 data, but excluded from 1982. Customwork, machine hire, and rental of machinery and equipment— These expenses include costs incurred for having customwork done on the place and for renting ma- chines to perform agricultural operations. The cost of cotton ginning is excluded. The cost of labor involved in the custom- work service is included in the customwork expense. The cost of labor for operating rented or hired machinery is in- cluded as a hired farm and ranch labor expense. Interest expense— Or\\y the interest expense for the farm business was to be reported. Although instructions requested that interest on the owner/operator dwelling be excluded when separate records were available, it is probable that an undetermined amount of such nonfarm business interest was also reported. Energy and petroleum prot/ucts— Respondents were asked to report only those expenses pertaining to the operation of the farm business. Storage capacity— This category applies to those farms reporting expenditures for the specific kind of fuel. The storage capacity was to be reported even if not used during the census year. Farms with storage capacity reported as "no"— This category includes farm operators with expenditures for a specific kind of fuel who also checked the "none" box for storage capacity. See appendix B, section 26, Expenditures for Energy. Market value of agricultural products sold-This category repre- sents the gross market value before taxes and production ex- penses of all agricultural products sold or removed from the place in 1982 regardless of who received the payment. It includes sales by the operator as well as the value of any shares received by partners, landlords, contractors, or others associated with the operation. In addition, it includes the loan value received in 1982 for placing commodities in the CCC loan program. This ensures comparability with prior census years for market value of agricultural products sold. The value of agricultural products sold represents total sales of all crops, including nursery products sold, and livestock, poultry, and their products sold. It does not include income from farm-related sources such as customwork or agricultural services, or income from nonfarm sources. Sales of forest prod- ucts were not included in 1978 or 1982; but were included in 1974. The value of crops sold in 1982 does not necessarily repre- sent the sales from crops harvested in 1982. Data may include sales from crops produced in earlier years and exclude some crops produced in 1982, but held in storage and not sold. For commodities, such as sugar beets and wool, sold through a co-op which made payments in several installments, respondents were requested to report only the total value received in 1982. The value of agricultural products sold was collected from all operators. If the operator failed to report, estimates were made based on the amount of crops harvested or the number of live- stock or poultry sold. Extensive estimation was required for operators growing crops or livestock under contract. Caution should be used when comparing sales in 1982 with sales reported in earlier censuses due to the fluctuations in per- unit prices between census years. Income from machine work, customwork, and other agri- cultural services-This category consists of gross income re- ceived during 1982 by farm operators for providing services for others such as planting, plowing, spraying, harvesting, etc. In- come from machine work and other agricultural services is generally included in the agriculture census if it is supplement- al to the farming operation. However, it is excluded if it constitutes a separate establishment or is conducted from an- other location. The agricultural services part of a farming operation was generally considered a separate establishment when income from agricultural services was $10,000 or more and greater than the value of agricultural products sold. Due to legislative restrictions, data for establishments primarily en- gaged in agricultural services were not collected in 1982. Agricultural chemicals used, including fertilizer and lime— For each type of agricultural chemical, the acres treated were to be reported only once. If multipurpose chemicals were used, the acres treated for each purpose were to be reported. Fish and other aquacultural products-The raising of fish and other aquacultural products in captivity is included in the agri- culture census. Production in salt water is considered not to be in captivity and is excluded from the census. The value of fish and other aquacultural products sold and laboratory animals A-4 APPENDIX A 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE sold is included in the category "other livestock and livestock products." Bees and honey— Bee and honey production was enumerated and tabulated in the county in which the home farm was lo- cated even though hives are often moved from farm to farm over a wide geographic area. The completeness and accuracy of these data are affected by the fact that some bee operations may not have been on the mail list and some operators on the mail list may not have considered beekeeping to be an agri- cultural operation, and therefore did not report. Citrus enumeration— In the 1982 census, 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 used in recent censuses because of the difficulty in identifying and enumerating absentee grove owners who often do not know the information that is needed to adequately complete the census report. Each citrus care- taker was enumerated as a farm operator and requested to com- plete one report form for all groves cared for and to furnish a list of grove owners' names, addresses, and acres of citrus. The names on the lists were matched to completed grove owners' report forms to eliminate duplication. The caretaker was also requested to inform the grove owner that he had already re- ported for the citrus under his care and that the grove owner was not to report the citrus again. In the 1982 census, 8 care- takers in Arizona reported 210 grove owners having 13,000 acres of citrus; the 99 caretakers in Florida reported 5,900 grove owners having 250,000 acres of citrus; and 21 caretakers in Texas reported 1,500 grove owners having 30,000 acres of citrus. Crop year or season covered— Acres and quantity harvested are for the calendar year 1982 except for citrus fruits, avocados, olives; vegetables in Florida; sugarcane in Florida and Texas; and pineapples and coffee in Hawaii. Citrus fruits— The data for Florida relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1981 through July 1982 harvest season, except limes that were harvested in the April 1982 through March 1983 harvest season. The data for Texas relate to the quantity harvested in the September 1981 through May 1982 harvest season. The data for States, other than Florida and Texas, relate to the quantity harvested in the 1981-82 harvest season. Avocados— The data for California relate to the quantity harvested in the November 1981 through November 1982 harvest season and for Florida the April 1982 through March 1983 harvest season. 0//Ves— The data for California relate to the quantity har- vested in the September 1981 through March 1982 harvest season. Vegetables— The data for Florida relate to the crop harvested in the September 1981 through August 1982 harvest season. Sugarcane for sugar— The data for Florida relate to the cut- tings from November 1981 through April 1982, and for Texas the cuttings from October 1981 through April 1982. Pineapples— The data for Hawaii relate to the quantity har- vested in the year ending May 31, 1982. Coffee— The data for Hawaii relate to the 1981-82 crop. Acres and quantity harvested— Crops were reported in whole acres, except for the following crops which were reported in lOths of acres: Irish potatoes, sweetpotatoes, tobacco, fruit and nut crops including land in orchards, berries, vegetables, and nursery and greenhouse products; and in Hawaii, taro, ginger root, and lotus root. Totals for crops reported in lOths of acres were rounded to whole acres at the aggregate level during the tabulation process. If two or more crops were harvested from the same land during the year, the acres would be counted for each crop. Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested generally ex- ceeds the acres of cropland harvested. The exception to this procedure is hay crops. When more than one cutting of hay was taken from the same acres, the acres are counted only once but the quantity harvested includes all cuttings. However, hay cut for both dry hay and green crop or silage would be reported for each applicable crop. For interplanted crops or "skip-row" crops, acres were to be reported according to the portion of the field occupied by each crop. If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acres were not to be reported as harvested. These acres were to be reported in the "land use" section under the appropriate cropland items— crop- land used only for pasture or grazing, cropland used for cover crops, cropland on which all crops failed, or cropland idle. Corn and sorghum hogged or grazed were to be reported as "cropland harvested" and not as "cropland used only for pasture or grazing." Crop residue left in fields and later hogged or grazed was not to be reported as cropland pasture. Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as vege- tables; nursery and greenhouse products; corn cut for dry fodder, hogged or grazed; and sorghum, hogged or grazed. Acres of land in bearing and nonbearing fruit orchards, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees were to be reported as harvested cropland regardless of whether the crop was harvested or failed. However, abandoned orchards were to bp reported as cropland idle, not as harvested cropland and the individual abandoned orchard crop acres were not to be reported. Land in orchards— This category includes land in bearing and nonbearing fruit trees, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, including land on which all fruit crops failed. Respondents were instructed not to report abandoned plantings and plantings of less than 20 total fruit, citrus, or nut trees, or grapevines. 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 re- ported in a unit of measure different than the unit of measure published, the quantity harvested was converted to the pub- lished unit of measure. Grapes could be reported in dry weight or fresh weight; plums and prunes in fresh weight or prunes in dry weight; and in Hawaii, coffee in pounds parchment or pounds cherry, and macadamia nuts in pounds husked, unshelled or pounds shelled. For other fruit and nut crops and citrus, the operator was given a choice of units of measure of pounds, tons, or boxes. The quantity harvested for these crops is published in pounds. 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-5 Write-in crops— To reduce the length of the report form, only the major crops for the region were prelisted. For other crops, the respondent was requested 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 the crop into the appropriate "all other" category for that section. Write-in crops coded as "all other" were reviewed and as- signed a specific code when possible. Crops not assigned a specific code were left in the appropriate "all other" category. In some cases, the reviewers were unable to determine the specific crop reported by the respondent because of incomplete or generalized crop names. To ensure prooer coding, most of these respondents were telephoned. Reports for those not telephoned were changed on the basis of other reports for the area. Misreported or miscoded crops— In a few instances, tabulated data may be inaccurate because respondents misunderstood or misinterpreted questions on the report form. Data may have been reported on the wrong line or in the wrong section, or the wrong crop code may have been placed beside the name of a write-in crop. Some of these errors as well as some keying errors may not have been identified during processing and therefore were not corrected. Reports with significant acres of unusual crops for the area were examined to minimize the possibility that they were in error. Changes in crop wording— Changes were made to the wording of selected crop items on the 1982 census forms. These items are listed with the wording used in 1978. The 1982 and 1978 data are comparable for all items, except improved pecans and wild and seedling pecans which were combined. Dry edible beans, excluding dry I/mas— The 1978 wording was "dry field and seed beans." Dry edible peas— The 1978 wording was "dry field and seed peas". Dry edible peas exclude Austrian winter peas, wrin- kled seed peas, and southern peas or cowpeas. Green cowpeas and green southern peas; cowpeas and south- ern peas for dry peas— The wording for these items was changed for 1982 to include the term "southern peas," a more common term for cowpeas. Honey tangerines— The 1978 wording was "murcotts.". Other tangerines -The 1978 wording was "tangerines and mandarins." Pecans— The 1978 categories "improved pecans" and "wild and seedling pecans" have been combined into "pecans" for 1982. "See text" References Items in the tables which carry the note "See text" are ex- plained or defined in this section. Data are based on a sample of farms- For 1982 and 1978, selec ted data were collected from only a sample of farms. These data are subject to sampling error. For 1982, the 5-page sample form was mailed to all large and specialized farms (based on expected sales, acres, or standard industrial classification), all farms in Alaska and Hawaii, and approximately 17 percent of all other farms. Sample sections 22 through 28 of the 1982 census forms include inquiries on commercial fertilizer and lime, chemicals, interest expense, machinery and equipment, expenditures for energy and petroleum products, selected production expenses, and value of land and buildings. Principal source of irrigation water— The acres irrigated by principal source were derived based on reported percentages of water obtained by source. See appendix B for an example of section 11, Land Irrigated. When irrigation water was ob- tained from two or more sources, the acres irrigated were included only once under the source from which the largest percentage of water was obtained. 1974 data apply only to individual or family operations (sole proprietorships) and partnerships— For 1974, farm operator characteristics were not collected from corporations, coopera- tives, prison farms, grazing associations, and Indian reservations. For 1982 and 1978, characteristics and occupation of the senior partner or person in charge were collected from all farms. Farms operated by Black and other races— This category in- cludes Blacks, American Indians, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and all other racial groups other than White. All other races— This category is primarily limited to persons native to or of ancestry from Mexico, the Caribbean, and Cen- tral and South America. Farms reporting no interest expense— This category includes only reports without dollars reported and the "no" box checked for the yes/no screening question in section 24. See appendix Bfor an example of section 24, Interest Expense. Total sales— This item represents the gross market value of all agricultural products sold before taxes and expenses in the census year including livestock, poultry, and their products; and crops, including nursery products, and hay. Respondents were asked to include landlords' and contractors' shares. As in prior census years, the value of commodities placed in CCC loans are included as sold. Sales of forest products were not included in 1978 or 1982. The 1974 data included sales of forest products from those places qualifying as farms through other agricultural production. Farms with sales of less than $2,500-ln 1982 and 1978, this category included all farms, except abnormal farms, with ac- tual sales of less than $2,500. In 1974, farms with sales of less than $2,500 but having the production potential for sales of $2,500 and over are included in the category "$2,500 to $4,999." Farms with sales of less than $1,000— This category includes all farms, except abnormal farms, with actual sales of less than $1,000 but having the production potential for sales of $1,000 or more. Abnormal farms— This category includes institutional farms, experimental and research farms, and Indian reservations. In- stitutional farms include those operated by hospitals, peni- A-6 APPENDIX A 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE tentiaries, churches, schools, grazing associations, government agencies, etc. In prior censuses, a number of nongovernmental units such as church farms and FFA camps were classified as abnormal farms. In 1982, such nongovernmental units were classified as abnormal farms only when 50 percent or more of their products produced and intended for human consump- tion were utilized bv the organization. Value of agricultural products sold directly to individuals for human consumption— This category represents the value of agricultural products produced and sold directly to in- dividuals for human consumption from roadside stands, farm- ers' markets, pick-your-own sites, etc. It excludes nonedible products such as nursery products, cut flowers, wool, etc. Sales of agricultural products by vertically integrated operations through their own processing and marketing operations were excluded. Other livestock and livestock products— This category includes all livestock and livestock products not listed separately. Value of livestock and poultry on farms— Data for the value of livestock and poultry on farms were obtained by multiplying the inventory of each major age and sex group by State average prices. The State average prices for cattle, hogs, sheep, angora goats, hens and pullets of laying age, and turkeys were ob- tained primarily from data published by the Statistical Re- porting Service, USDA. Prices applied to other livestock and poultry were census-derived averages based primarily on reported value of sales in the census. Poultry hatched— This category includes all poultry hatched during the year and placed or sold. Incubator egg capacity on December 31, 1982, is tabulated under the column heading In- ventory and the number of poultry hatched is under the heading Sales. Worms— Worm inventory consists of the number of standard worm beds in production. A standard worm bed is considered to be 24 cubic feet. Sales of worms are shown in pounds. Sales of worm castings are included in other livestock products sold. Hay— alfalfa, other tame, small grain, wild, grass silage, green chop, etc.— Data shown for hay represent all hay crops, in- cluding grass silage, haylage, and hay crops cut and fed green (green chop). In production data, dry tons represent dry tonnage for the various hay categories and dry weight equiva- lents for grass silage and hay cut and fed green. The conversion used was 3 tons of green weight to 1 ton of dry weight. Tame hay other than alfalfa, small grain, and wild hay— Data shown represent dry tons of hay harvested from clover, lespe- deza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudan grass, and other types of legume and tame grasses. Grass silage, haylage, and green chop hay-The 1978 categories "grass silage and haylage" and "hay crops cut and fed green (green chop)" have been combined into "grass silage, hay- lage, and green chop hay" in 1982. Grapes— Farm operators were given the option of reporting the quantity of grapes harvested in dry weight or fresh weight. For publication purposes, all quantities of grapes harvested have been converted to pounds fresh weight. The conversion used was 4.3 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry weight. Plums and prunes— Farm operators were given the option of reporting the quantity of plums and prunes harvested in dry weight or fresh weight. For publication purposes, all quan- tities of plums and prunes harvested have been converted to pounds fresh weight. The conversion used was 3 pounds fresh weight to 1 pound dry weight. Almonds— In 1982, the quantity of almonds harvested was re- ported in pounds of meats. For 1978, the quantity harvested was reported in the shell. Other fruits and nuts— Data shown for other fruits and nuts relate to any fruits and nuts not having a specific code on the 1982 report form. Land used for vegetables— Data are for the total land used for vegetable crops. The acres are reported only once, even though two or more harvests of a vegetable or more than one vegetable were harvested from the same acres. 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. Nursery and greenhouse products grown for sale— These data are a summation of the individual items reported. All of the individ- ual items may not be shown. Other grains— These data are for the total market value of other grains sold including dry edible beans, dry lima beans, buck- wheat, cowpeas and southern peas for dry peas, emmer and spelt, flaxseed, mixed grains, lentils, mustard seed, dry edible peas, popcorn, proso millet, rice, rye for grain, safflower, sun- flower seed, triticale, and wild rice. Value of crop production— This item represents the estimated value of all crops harvested during the 1982 crop year. Data for the value of crops harvested were obtained by multiplying the average estimated value per unit by the reported acres or quan- tity harvested. Generally, harvested units of production (pounds, bushels, bales, etc.) were multiplied by State estimates of prices per unit. If only acres harvested were reported. State estimates for value of production per acre were used. The State average production price and production value per acre used in these calculations were obtained in most part from publications of the Statistical Reporting Service, USDA. When USDA estimates were not available. Bureau of the Census statisticians made estimates using available sources such as data from adjacent States, respondent report forms, county extension agents, and other persons knowledgeable about specific crops. FARMS CLASSIFIED BY SPECIFIED CHARACTERISTICS State tables 44 through 50 present detailed 1982 data for all farms classified by specified characteristics— tenure of operator, type of organization, age and principal occupation of operator, size of farm (acres), value of agricultural products sold, and standard industrial classification. Other tables include data classified by value of sales groups, or other characteristics of the farm or the operator. 1982 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-7 Farms by value of agricultural products sold or value of sales-ln 1982, all farms except abnormal farms were tabulated by size based on reported sales. Thus, the category "farms with sales of $2,500 to $4,999" included only farms with actual sales of $2,500 to $4,999. Abnormal farms were not tabulated based on actual or potential sales. The category "farms with sales of less than $1,000" included all farms, except abnormal farms, with actual sales of less than $1,000 but having the production potential for sales of $1,000 or more. The sales size categories have been changed to be consistent with the standard business size categories issued by the Office of Management and Budget in 1982. Sales size categories "$100,000 to $249,999" and "$250,000 to $499,999" are used in this report; whereas, sales size categories "$100,000 to $199,999" and "$200,000 to $499,999" were used in prior censuses. In State table 1 1 and county table 3, the 1978 census data have been retabulated into the new sales size categories. Farms by tenure of operator- The classifications of tenure used In the 1982 census were: Full owners, who operate only land they own. Part owners, who operate land they own and also land they rent from others. Tenants, who operate only land they rent from others or work on shares for others. Farms by type of organization— All farms were classified by type of organization in the 1982 census. The classifications used were : Individual or family operation (sole proprietorship), ex- cluding partnership and corporation. Partnership operation, including family partnership. Corporation, including family corporation. Other, such as cooperative, estate or trust, institutional farm, etc. Corporations were subclassified by two additional charac- teristics into: a. Family held Other than family held b. More than 10 stockholders 10 or less stockholders Farms by age and principal occupation of sperator— Data on age and principal occupation were obtained from all operators in 1982. The principal occupation classifications used were: Farming— JUe operator spent 50 percent or more of his/her worktime in 1982 in farming or ranching. Otfjer-The operator spent more than 50 percent of his/her worktime in 1982 in occupations other than farming or ranching. Farms by size— All farms were classified into selected 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 the tenant's farm and not the owner's. Farms by standard industrial classification— In 1982, all agri- cultural production establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries, greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity or activities using the standard industrial classification (SIC) system. These classifications, found in the 1972 SIC Manual', are used to promote uniformity and comparability in the presentation of statistical data collected by various agencies. An establishment primarily engaged in crop production (major group 01) or livestock production (major group 02) is classified in the 4-digit industry and 3-digit industry group which accounts for 50 percent or more of the total value of sales of its agricultural products. If the total value of sales of agricultural products of an establishment is less than 50 percent from a single 4-digit industry, but 50 percent or more from the products of two or more 4-digit industries within the same 3- digit industry group, the establishment is classified in the mis- cellaneous industry of that industry group. Otherwise, it is classified as a general crop farm in industry 0191 or a general livestock farm in industry 0291. Characteristics of all farms by selected SIC groupings are shown in State tables 15 and 50. The SIC groupings shown in State table 50, together with the associated products (value of sales representing 50 percent or more of the value of agri- cultural products sold during the year) on which the classi- fication is based, are as follows: Cash grains (011)—VJheat, rice, corn, soybeans, barley, buck- wheat, cowpeas, dry field and seed beans and peas, emmer, field seeds, flaxseed, lentils, mustard seed, oats, popcorn, rye, safflower, sorghum, and other small grains. Cotton (0131)— Cotton and cottonseed. Tobacco (0132)— Tobacco. Sugar crops, Irish potatoes, hay, peanuts, and other field crops (0133, 0134, 0139)-Sugarcane, sugar beets, Irish potatoes, alfalfa, broomcorn, clover, flax, hay, hops, mint, peanuts, sweetpotatoes, and timothy. Vegetables and melons ^0/5^— Vegetables and melons grown in the open. Fruits and tree nuts (017)— Bernes, grapes, tree nuts, citrus fruits, deciduous tree fruits, avocados, dates, figs, olives, pineapples, and tropical fruit. Horticultural specialties (018)— Ornamenta\ plants; nursery products, such as bulbs, florists' greens, flowers, shrubbery, flower and vegetable seeds and plants, and sod; mushrooms and vegetables grown under cover. General farms, primarily crops (019)— Crops, including hor- ticultural specialties, but less than 50 percent of sales from any single 3-digit industry group. Includes farms with no agricultural products sold reporting cropland harvested or cropland on which all crops failed. Livestock, except dairy, poultry, and animal specialties (021)-Catt\e, calves, hogs, sheep, goats, goat's milk, wool, and mohair. ■Standard Industrial Classification Manual: 1972.

STATISTICAL ADJUSTMENTS The 1982 Census of Agriculture used two types of statistical adjustment-nonresponse and sample. In Alaska, all farms were surveyed for all data items and no nonresponse adjustment was necessary. IMONSAMPLING ERRORS Each census or survey is subject to error. In addition to sampling variability, errors arise from nonsample sources such as incorrect or incomplete reporting, processing, and the in- ability to obtain a report from each eligible reporting unit. For example, an operator may report the number of hogs and pigs sold but may not report the value of the sale. In other cases, the respondent indicated the presence of an item but not the quantity. The accuracy of a census count is determined by the joint effects of sampling and nonsampling errors. Thus, extensive efforts were made to keep errors introduced during clerical and electronic processing to a minimum level through the use of quality control, verification, and check measures on specific operations. CENSUS COVERAGE Although a complete and accurate count of farms, land in farms, and farm production is the aim of each nationwide census of agriculture, the complex structure of America's agri- culture makes this difficult to achieve. Among the complexi- ties are the many places to be included, the variety of arrange- ments 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 agricultural operations, the difficulty of locating and identifying some types of farms, the operator's absence from the farm during the data collection period, and the operator's opinion that part or all of the opera- tion does not qualify and should not be included in the census. An evaluation of coverage has been conducted for each census of agriculture since 1945. Although the primary purpose of these evaluations is to identify problem areas and supply evidence as a basis for improvements, they also provide users of census data with estimates of the completeness of the census counts. The results of the coverage evaluation study were pub- lished for the 1978 census in Volume 5, Special Reports, part 3. An evaluation of coverage was conducted in 1982 to measure the extent of the undercount and overcount of farms in the census. A description of this evaluation will be in a separate Coverage Evaluation report. This report includes estimates of the net percentage of all farms, acres, and sales missed in the census. Classification Problems In 1978, the proportion of farms missed due to misclassifica- tion (1.8 percent) was higher for farms with small values of sales. The rate of misclassification was higher on (1) crop farms than livestock farms, (2) farms with a small number of acres than larger farms, or (3) tenant farms than full or part-owner farms. Full owners were misclassified more often than part owners. Farm operators over 55 years of age were misclassi- fied more often than younger operators. An evaluation study of classification errors was conducted in the 1982 Census of Agriculture and will be reported in Coverage Evaluation. A sample of mail list respondents was selected, and these addresses reenumerated to determine whether they were a farm or nonfarm. Two types of errors were identified; missed farms and overcounted farms. Missed farms were farm operations included on the mail list but classified in the census as nonfarms. Overcounted operations were non- farm operations classified in the census as farms. Mail List Problems A major problem with the use of a mail list is the failure to include all farms on the list. In 1978, approximately 10.8 per- cent of all farms were not included on the census mail list. There were several reasons for the farm operator's names not being included on the mail list— the operation may have been started after the mail list source was developed; the operation may not have been included on any source list used to con- struct the mail list; or the operation may have been removed from the list because of incorrectly identifying duplicates or falsely classifying it as a nonfarm prior to mailout. A great many of the farms not included on the mail list were small in both acres and sales. The operator in many cases had a full time off -farm job and farmed part time. In 1978, the average size of farms and sales for all farms and farms not on mail list is given below. Average size Farms not on All farms mail list Land (acres) . .
