October Farm Prices Received Index Increased 9 Points
The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in October, at 135 percent, based on
1990-92=100, increased 9 points (7.1 percent) from September. The Crop Index is up 11 points (7.7 percent) and the
Livestock Index increased 1 point (0.9 percent). Producers received higher prices for lettuce, corn, milk, and broccoli
and lower prices for broilers, cattle, snap beans, and cucumbers. 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
soybeans, corn, cotton, and cottonseed offset decreased marketings of milk, wheat, grapes, and sweet corn.
The preliminary All Farm Products Index is down 15 points (10 percent) from October 2008. The Food Commodities
Index, at 135, increased 9 points (7.1 percent) from last month but decreased 13 points (8.8 percent) from
October 2008.
Prices Paid Index Unchanged
The October Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is
175 percent of the 1990-92 average. The index is unchanged from September but 12 points (6.4 percent) below
October 2008. Lower prices in October for concentrates, potash & phosphorus, complete feeds, and feeder cattle offset
higher prices for feeder pigs, feed grains, herbicides, and LP gas.

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 2000 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 U.S.
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 AMSUSDA, 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 U.S. 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: U.S. 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 nonprobability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures
approximate the U.S. 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.

Prices Paid by Farmers
The October Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) at
175 (1990-92=100), is unchanged from September 2009 but down 6.4 percent from October 2008.
PRODUCTION INDEX: The October index, at 176, decreased 0.6 percent from last month and 9.7 percent from last
year. Lower prices in October for concentrates, potash & phosphate, complete feeds, and feeder cattle more than offset
higher prices for feeder pigs, feed grains, herbicides, and LP gas.
Feed: The October index, at 175, decreased 2.8 percent from September and 11 percent from last October. Since
September, lower prices for concentrates, complete feeds, supplements, and hay & forages more than offset higher
prices for feed grains.
Livestock & Poultry: The October index, at 109, is unchanged from last month but decreased 7.6 percent from last
year. Since September, lower prices for feeder cattle and milk cows offset higher prices for feeder pigs. The October
feeder cattle price, at $91.60 per cwt, is down $2.00 per cwt from September. October feeder pigs averaged $81.00 per
cwt, up $21.00 per cwt from September.
Fertilizer: The October index, at 254, is down 2.7 percent from September and 47 percent below October a year ago.
Since September, prices are lower for potash & phosphorus, nitrogen, and mixed fertilizer.
Chemicals: The October index, at 149, increased 4.9 percent from September and 3.5 percent from last October.
Compared with last month, prices are higher for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides/other.
Fuels: The October index, at 246, is up 0.4 percent from a month earlier but 22 percent below October 2008.
Compared with last month, prices are higher for LP gas and diesel but lower for gasoline.
Machinery: The October index, at 227, is unchanged from September but 5.6 percent above last October. Compared
with last month, prices are lower for other machinery and self-propelled machinery.
CONSUMER PRICE INDEX: The September 2009 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, for all urban consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 215.969
(1982-84=100). The August index is 215.834. For the 12-month period ending in September, the overall index
decreased 1.3 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 5 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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 1990-92 reference and base period replaced the 1977 reference and 1971-73 base weight period. Five-year moving
average weights replaced the current fixed 1971-73 base period weights. The 1910-14=100 price indexes, required by
statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 1990-92=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).
