Released April 30, 2014, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of

Agriculture (USDA).

April Farm Prices Received Index Advanced 4 Points

The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in April, at 115 percent, based on 2011=100,

increased 4 points (3.6 percent) from March. The Crop Index is up 4 points (4.3 percent) and the Livestock Index

increased 4 points (3.1 percent). Producers received higher prices for hogs, corn, soybeans, and broilers and lower prices

for oranges, barley, and peanuts. 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 movement of milk, broilers, and oranges offset the

decreased marketing of corn, soybeans, hay, and wheat.

The preliminary All Farm Products Index is up 8 points (7.5 percent) from April 2013. The Food Commodities Index, at

125, increased 3 points (2.5 percent) from last month and increased 18 points (17 percent) from April 2013.

Prices Paid Index Up 2 Points

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

112 (2011=100). The index is up 2 points (1.8 percent) from March and 6 points (5.7 percent) above April 2013. Higher

prices in April for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, complete feeds, and hay & forages more than offset lower prices for diesel,

herbicides, insecticides, and self-propelled machinery.

Adjustment for Seasonal Variation - All Eggs and All Milk

Base prices used in calculating parity prices are averages of prices received by farmers for ten 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.

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 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 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 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.

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.


Prices Paid by Farmers

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

112 (2011=100) is up 1.8 percent from March 2014 and up 5.7 percent from April 2013.

Production index: The April index, at 114, increased 2.7 percent from last month and 6.5 percent from last year. Higher

prices in April for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, complete feeds, and hay & forages more than offset lower prices for diesel,

herbicides, insecticides, and self-propelled machinery.

Feed: The April index, at 119, increased 2.6 percent from March but was unchanged from last April. Since March, prices

for complete feeds, hay & forages, feed grains, concentrates, and supplements are higher.

Livestock and poultry: The April index, at 142, increased 6.0 percent from last month and 42 percent from last year.

Since March, prices for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, and milk cows are higher. The April feeder cattle price, at $187.20 per

cwt, is up $6.00 per cwt from the March price. April feeder pigs averaged $333.00 per cwt, up $46.00 per cwt from

March.

Fertilizer: The April index, at 101, is up 4.1 percent from March but 1.9 percent below April a year ago. Since March,

prices for mixed fertilizer, nitrogen, and potash & phosphate are higher.

Chemicals: The April index, at 109, decreased 0.9 percent from March but increased 0.9 percent from last April.

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

Fuels: The April index, at 103, is up 4.0 percent from a month earlier and 6.2 percent above April 2013. Compared with

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

Machinery: The April index, at 111, is unchanged from March but is 2.8 percent above last April. Compared with last

month, prices are higher for other machinery but lower for self-propelled machinery.

Consumer price index: The March 2014 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban

consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.6 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 236.293 (1982-1984=100). The

February index is 234.781. For the 12 month period ending in March, the overall index increased 1.5 percent.

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.

As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period is 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.
