Agriculture (USDA).
August Farm Prices Received Index Up 3.0 percent
The August Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 102, increased
3.0 percent from July. At 88, the Crop Production Index increased
2.3 percent. At 117, the Livestock Production Index increased 1.7 percent.
Producers received higher prices for market eggs, lettuce, strawberries, and
apples but lower prices for broilers, wheat, onions, and hay. In addition to
prices, the indexes are influenced by the monthly mix of commodities
producers market. Increased monthly movement of cattle, grapes, calves, and
hogs offset the decreased marketing of wheat, soybeans, corn, and hay.
The Prices Received Index is down 6.4 percent from the previous year. The
Food Commodities Index, at 110, increased 3.8 percent from the previous month
but is down 9.1 percent from August 2014.
August Prices Paid Index Down 0.9 percent
The August Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest,
Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 108, is down 0.9 percent from July and
down 3.6 percent from August 2014. Lower prices in August for feeder cattle,
hay & forages, nitrogen, and diesel more than offset higher prices for
complete feeds, supplements, herbicides, and insecticides.

Parity Price Overview
Parity prices, based on data from January 2015, and adjusted base price data
from which parity prices are computed are presented in the tables on the
following pages. Parity prices are computed under the provisions of Title
III. Subtitle A, Section 301(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as
amended by the Agricultural Acts of 1948, 1949, 1954, and 1956.
The parity prices shown in this report are based on the provisions of the
amended Act. Briefly, the actual method of computation is as follows:
a. The average of prices received by farmers for individual commodities for
the 10 preceding years is calculated (for 2015, the 10-average includes the
years 2005-2014). An allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental
payments resulting from price support programs, such as the deficiency
payments for grains and cotton, is included for those commodities for which
applicable.
b. This 10-year average is divided by the average of the Index of Prices
Received by Farmers for the same 10 preceding calendar years, adjusted to
include an allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental price
support operations, to give an "adjusted base price".
c. Parity prices are computed by multiplying the "adjusted base prices" by
the current Parity Index (the Index of Prices Paid by Farmers, including
Interest, Taxes, and Wage Rates, 1910-1914=100).
Parity prices are calculated in terms of prices received by farmers in the
local markets in which they ordinarily sell. This means that the parity
prices apply to the average of all classes and grades of the commodity as
sold by all farmers in the United States, except as otherwise specified.
Fruits and vegetables for fresh use and for processing are usually considered
separate commodities and separate parity prices are calculated. The
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 provided for parity prices for
certain commodities covered by a marketing agreement or order program. Under
present legislation, United States parity prices, with appropriate
adjustments where needed, may be used for the purpose of this Act.

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 1,900 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 United States 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 sales.
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 United States price based on
expanded sales. Recommendations are prepared by the Regional 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: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year
estimation time, following five-year Census revisions, or when later
information is received. Revisions are published in monthly issues of
Agricultural Prices.
Reliability: United States 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
United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non-
sampling 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 non-sampling errors.
Program Changes: After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource
Economics (C-FARE) 2009 program review which included changes in farm production
practices, plans were implement to make necessary program improvements in the
agricultural price program. The index group structure for prices received was
modified to maintain a more universal structure and consistency with the
required 1910-1914 series.
Modifications implemented January 2014 include the following: update the
current 1990-1992 base reference period to 2011, link the 1910-1914 series to
the updated base reference period, 2011, create index groups used universally by
researchers, data users, and policymakers, re-classify agricultural commodities
into the index groups, expand the commodity coverage for vegetable, melon, non-
citrus, and tree nuts, update monthly market weights, and adjust (normalization)
current five year moving average cash receipts and farm input cost weights.
Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and
replaced the annual average index with an annual index.
See Price Program Quick Stats Links at end of this report for program change
details.
August Prices Paid by Farmers
The August Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest,
Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 108, is down 0.9 percent from
July 2015 and 3.6 percent below August 2014.
Production index: The August index, at 109, is down 0.9 percent from last
month and 4.4 percent lower than last year. Lower prices in August for feeder
cattle, hay & forages, nitrogen, and diesel more than offset higher prices
for complete feeds, supplements, herbicides, and insecticides.
Feed: The August index, at 105, decreased 0.9 percent from July and is
down 7.1 percent from last August. Since July, lower prices for
hay & forages, feed grains, and concentrates more than offset higher
prices for complete feeds and supplements.
Livestock and poultry: The August index, at 147, decreased 3.3 percent
from last month and is down 7.5 percent from last year. Since July,
prices are lower for feeder cattle and feeder pigs. The August feeder
cattle price, at $219 per cwt, is down $8.00 per cwt from the July
price. August feeder pigs averaged $88.00 per cwt, down $7.00 per cwt
from July.
Fertilizer: The August index, at 86, is down 2.3 percent from July and
7.5 percent below August a year ago. Since July, lower prices for
nitrogen more than offset higher prices for mixed fertilizer and
potash & phosphate.
Chemicals: The August index, at 107, is up 0.9 percent from July but is
down 1.8 percent from last August. Compared with last month, prices are
higher for herbicides and insecticides.
Fuels: The August index, at 61, is down 7.6 percent from a month
earlier and 38 percent below August 2014. Compared with last month,
prices are lower for diesel, gasoline, and LP gas.
Machinery: The August index, at 115, was unchanged from July but is
1.8 percent above last August.
Consumer price index: The August 2015 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers (CPI-U) decreased
slightly before seasonal adjustment to a level of 238.316 (1982-1984=100).
The July index is 238.654. For the 12 month period ending in August, the
overall index increased slightly.

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 five business days centered at 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 non-probability survey. Average prices reported are
aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from
expenditure data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are
prepared by the Regional 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 United
States 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 United States relative sampling errors for major items around
10 percent. Any non-sampling 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 non-
sampling errors.
Program change: Effective January 2014, the National Agricultural Statistics
Service modified the five-year moving weights and updated the base reference
period. In January 2015, publication of preliminary prices was suspended, and
the annual average index was replaced by an annual index.
As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period was updated to 2011.
Five-year moving average weights are adjusted (normalized) to minimize the
effects of price changes. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by
statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes
in the new 2011=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.
