Agricultural Prices
ISSN: 1937-4216
Released April 29, 2011, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
April Farm Prices Received Index Increased 2 Points
The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in April, at 174 percent, based on
1990-1992=100, increased 2 points (1.2 percent) from March. The Crop Index is up 1 point (0.5 percent) and the
Livestock Index increased 4 points (2.6 percent). Producers received higher prices for corn, cattle, eggs, and hogs and
lower prices for lettuce, milk, tomatoes, and celery. 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 cattle,
strawberries, milk, and broilers offset decreased marketings of soybeans, corn, wheat, and cotton.
The preliminary All Farm Products Index is up 36 points (26 percent) from April 2010. The Food Commodities Index, at
167, decreased 2 points (1.2 percent) from last month but increased 28 points (20 percent) from April 2010.
Prices Paid Index up 3 Points
The April Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is
204 percent of the 1990-1992 average. The index is up 3 points (1.5 percent) from March and 23 points (13 percent)
above April 2010. Higher prices in April for nitrogen, feed grains, diesel, and complete feeds more than offset lower
prices for concentrates, feeder pigs, supplements, and herbicides.

Adjustment for Seasonal Variation - All Eggs and All Milk
Base prices used in calculating parity prices are averages of prices received by farmers for several years; therefore, any
seasonal variation is largely averaged out. To facilitate comparisons with parity prices, monthly prices for All Eggs and
All Milk are adjusted for seasonal variation. The seasonally adjusted price is calculated by dividing the monthly price by
the adjustment factor.

58 Agricultural Prices (April 2011) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
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
1900 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 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 United States 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: 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 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.
Agricultural Prices (April 2011) 59 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Prices Paid by Farmers
The April Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) at 204
(1990-1992=100), is up 1.5 percent from March 2011 and 13 percent from April 2010.
Production index: The April index, at 215, increased 1.9 percent from last month and 16 percent from last year. Higher
prices in April for nitrogen, feed grains, diesel, and complete feeds more than offset lower prices for concentrates, feeder
pigs, supplements, and herbicides.
Feed: The April index, at 220, increased 3.8 percent from March and 29 percent from last April. Since March, higher
prices for feed grains, complete feeds, and hay & forages more than offset lower prices for concentrates and supplements.
Livestock and poultry: The April index, at 161, increased 1.3 percent from last month and 15 percent from last year.
Since March, higher prices for feeder cattle and milk cows more than offset lower prices for feeder pigs. The April feeder
cattle price, at $136.40 per cwt, is up $3.20 from the March price. April feeder pigs averaged $188.00 per cwt, down
$15.00 from March.
Fertilizer: The April index, at 330, is up 3.8 percent from March and is 34 percent above April a year ago. Since March,
prices are higher for nitrogen, potash & phosphate, and mixed fertilizer.
Chemicals: The April index, at 144, decreased 0.7 percent from March but is unchanged from last April. Compared with
last month, prices are lower for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides/other.
Fuels: The April index, at 377, is up 3.9 percent from a month earlier and is 31 percent above April 2010. Compared with
last month, prices are higher for diesel, gasoline, and LP gas.
Machinery: The April index, at 240, increased 0.4 percent from March and is 5.7 percent above last April. Compared
with last month, prices are higher for other machinery and self-propelled machinery.
Consumer price index: The March 2011 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban
consumers (CPIU) increased 1.0 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 223.467 (1982-1984=100). The February
index is 221.309. For the 12-month period ending in March, the overall index increased 2.7 percent.

Agricultural Prices (April 2011) 99 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
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 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 United States 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 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 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 1990-1992 reference and base period replaced the 1977 reference and 1971-1973 base weight period. Five-year moving
average weights replaced the current fixed 1971-1973 base period weights. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by
statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 1990-1992=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).
