(PRODUCTION, STOCKS, AND CAPACITY)
DEFINITIONS AND SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. Scope of survey

Wheat ground for flour — Represents the
purchased weight of wheat ground, including the
weight of foreign material (dockage). Includes the
milling of Canadian wheat in bond. Measured in
bushels of 60 pounds.

This survey covers all firms in the United States
operating wheat and rye flour mills.

2. Figures to be reported
A separate report should be filed for each active or

mill, please report the maximum quantity of wheat
flour that could be produced in that mill in one day
if it operated 24 hours.

Rye ground for flour — Represents the purchased
weight of rye ground, including the weight of
foreign materials (dockage). Measured in bushels
of 56 pounds.
Millfeed — Includes bran, middlings, shorts, and
other milling by-products intended principally for
use as feed materials.

Please write if you need additional forms.
For each item, report all amounts in the unit of
measure shown in the Reference List. Please note
that some figures should be rounded to thousands.
For example, if you ground 660,020 bushels of
wheat flour, report 660.

Capacity — Represents maximum quantity of flour
that can be produced in a mill in 1 day if operating
for 24 hours. Include the capacity of idle mills
until the mills are reported to be destroyed,
dismantled, or abandoned.
Stocks of flour — Represents mill stocks in all
positions, sold and unsold.
