Agricultural Prices
ISSN: 1937-4216
Released July 30, 2015, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
June Farm Prices Received Index Decreased 1.9 percent
The June Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 105, decreased
1.9 percent from May. At 88, the Crop Production Index decreased 2.2 percent.
The Livestock Production Index, at 121, decreased 0.8 percent. Producers
received lower prices for cattle, broilers, and hay but higher prices for
eggs, onions, and lettuce. In addition to prices, the indexes are impacted by
the five-year average monthly mix of commodities producers market. Increased
monthly movement of wheat, hay, grapes, and peaches offset the decreased
marketing of cattle, strawberries, milk, and oranges.
The Prices Received Index is down 7.1 percent from the previous year. The
Food Commodities Index, at 113, decreased 1.7 percent from the previous month
and is down 7.4 percent from June 2014.
June Prices Paid Index Unchanged
The June Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes,
and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109, is unchanged from May but is down
3.5 percent from June 2014. Lower prices during June for feeder pigs, hay &
forages, complete feeds, and LP gas offset higher prices for feeder cattle,
other services, supplements, and gasoline.

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.
June Prices Paid by Farmers
The June Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes,
and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109, is unchanged from May 2015 but is down
3.5 percent from June 2014.
Production index: The June index, at 110, is down 0.9 percent from last month
and is 5.2 percent lower than last year. Lower prices during June for feeder
pigs, hay & forages, complete feeds, and LP gas more than offset higher
prices for feeder cattle, other services, supplements, and gasoline.
Feed: The June index, at 102, decreased 1.9 percent from May and
16 percent from last June. Since May, lower prices for hay & forages,
complete feeds, concentrates, and feed grains more than offset higher
prices for supplements.
Livestock and poultry: The June index, at 159, is unchanged from last
month but increased 3.9 percent from last year. Since May, lower prices
for feeder pigs offset higher prices for feeder cattle. The June feeder
cattle price, at $238.00 per cwt, is up $5.00 per cwt from the May
price. June feeder pigs averaged $118.00 per cwt, down $39.00 per cwt
from May.
Fertilizer: The June index, at 92, is unchanged from May but is
8.0 percent below June a year ago. Since May, lower prices for nitrogen
offset higher prices for mixed fertilizer and potash & phosphate.
Chemicals: The June index, at 107, is up 0.9 percent from May but is
down 1.8 percent from last June. Compared with last month, herbicide
and insecticide prices are higher.
Fuels: The June index, at 66, is down 2.9 percent from a month earlier
and is 35 percent below June 2014. Compared with last month, prices are
lower for LP gas and diesel but higher for gasoline.
Machinery: The June index, at 114, decreased 0.9 percent from May but
is 1.8 percent above last June. Compared with last month, prices are
slightly lower for self-propelled machinery and other machinery.
Consumer price index: The May 2015 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers (CPI-U) increased
0.5 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 237.805 (1982-1984=100).
The April index is 236.599. For the 12 month period ending in May, the
overall index decreased 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.
