On-Farm Grain Storage Capacity
Up 2 Percent From Last Year
The United States on-farm storage capacity totaled 12.0 billion bushels on December 1, 2008, up
2 percent from December 1, 2007. Iowa continues to lead all States with 1.95 billion bushels of
on-farm storage capacity followed by Illinois with 1.37 billion bushels and Minnesota with 1.30 billion
bushels. Other major States include Nebraska with 1.05 billion bushels and Indiana with 770 million
bushels of on-farm storage capacity. These five States account for 54 percent of the Nation’s on-farm
storage capacity. On-farm grain storage capacity includes all bins, cribs, sheds, and other structures
located on farms that are normally used to store whole grains, oilseeds, or pulse crops.

Off-Farm Grain Storage Capacity and Facilities
Capacity of off-farm commercial grain storage in the United States totaled 9.35 billion bushels on
December 1, 2008, up 3 percent from December 1, 2007. The largest increase occurred in Iowa where
an additional 125 million bushels of capacity were added since December 1, 2007. Other notable
increases were shown in Illinois, where capacity increased 57.0 million bushels, and Minnesota, where
capacity increased 30.0 million bushels from a year ago. The largest decreases occurred in Kansas,
where capacity decreased 5.00 million bushels, and California, where capacity decreased 4.86 million
bushels from the previous year.
Iowa became the largest off-farm storage capacity State during 2008, surpassing Illinois, with
1.33 billion bushels of off-farm storage capacity. Illinois was the second largest State followed by
Kansas, Nebraska, and Texas. These five States accounted for 53 percent of the Nation’s off-farm
storage capacity on December 1, 2008.
Off-farm grain storage capacity includes all elevators, warehouses, terminals, merchant mills, other
storage, and oilseed crushers which store whole grains, soybeans, canola, flaxseed, mustard seed,
safflower, sunflower, rapeseed, Austrian winter peas, dry edible peas, lentils, and chickpeas/garbanzo
beans. Capacity data exclude facilities used to store only rice or peanuts, oilseed crushers processing
only cottonseed or peanuts, tobacco warehouses, seed warehouses, and storage facilities that handle
only dry edible beans, other than chickpeas/garbanzo beans.
Off-farm storage facilities totaled 9,015 on December 1, 2008, down 2 percent from December 1, 2007.
States with the largest number of facilities include Illinois and Iowa, each with 900, Kansas with 730,
Minnesota with 590, and Nebraska with 485.

Reliability of December 1, 2008 Grain Stocks Estimates
Survey Procedures: The grain stocks estimates in this report are based on surveys conducted during
the first two weeks of December. Separate surveys are conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm
estimates. The on-farm stocks survey is a probability survey that includes approximately
85,000 operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the U.S. have a chance
to be selected. These producers are asked to provide the total quantities of grain stored on their
operations as of December 1, 2008. This includes all whole grains and oilseeds stored whether for feed,
seed, or sale as well as any stored under a government program.
The off-farm stocks survey is an enumeration of all known commercial grain storage facilities. This
includes approximately 9,000 facilities with about 9.35 billion bushels of storage capacity. An effort is
made to obtain a report from all facilities. Reports of stock holdings are normally received from
operations covering about 90 percent of the capacity. Estimates are made for missing facilities to make
the survey complete.
Estimation Procedures: On-farm and off-farm survey data are reviewed at the State and national
levels for reasonableness, consistency with historical estimates, and current crop size. After estimates
are made for on-farm and off-farm stocks, the totals of these two are combined and evaluated using the
balance sheet approach. This method utilizes other sources of data to check the reasonableness of the
stocks estimates. Estimates of production, imports, exports, crushings, millings, and all other recorded
uses of grains and oilseeds are reviewed to make sure beginning stocks, production, utilization, and
ending stocks are within reasonable balance and present the best possible estimate of stocks.
Revision Policy: On-farm and off-farm stocks are subject to revision the quarter following initial
publication and again in the following December 1 Grain Stocks report published in January each year.
Revisions can be made when late reports are received, errors are detected in reporting and calculations,
and production estimates are revised. Estimates will also be reviewed following the 5-year Census of
Agriculture. No revisions to these years will be made after that date.
Reliability: Reliability of the on-farm and off-farm stocks must be treated separately because the
survey designs for the two surveys are very different. The on-farm stocks estimates are subject to
sampling variability because all operations holding on-farm stocks are not included in the sample. This
variability, as measured by the relative standard error at the U.S. level, is approximately 1.6 percent for
corn, 2.1 percent for soybeans, and 1.9 percent for all wheat. This means that chances are
approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates for stocks will be within plus or minus 3.2 percent for
corn, 4.2 percent for soybeans, and 3.8 percent for all wheat of the value that could be developed by
averaging the estimates produced from all possible samples selected from the same population and
surveyed using the same procedures. The relative standard errors for sorghum, barley, and oats
are 7.9, 3.4, and 4.2 percent, respectively.
Survey indications are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for
missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. Off-farm, as well as
on-farm stocks, are subject to these types of errors. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they
are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all
reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
