Released October 31, 2013, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department
of Agriculture (USDA).

Special Note
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is updating the price index methodology beginning with the January
2014 Agricultural Prices release. Methodological changes include updating the current base reference (1990-1992) to
2011; increasing vegetable, fruit, and nut commodity coverage; reclassification of the prices received commodity groups;
and updating monthly commodity market weights.
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is suspending a number of statistical surveys and reports resulting from
reduced funding. Suspended commodity programs impacting the Agricultural Prices report are non-citrus fruit, tree nuts,
and vegetables. Check the NASS website at www.nass.usda.gov for any future updates to these programs

October Farm Prices Received Index Up 1 Point
The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in October, at 187 percent, based on
1990-1992=100, increased 1 point (0.5 percent) from September. The Crop Index is down 3 points (1.5 percent) but the
Livestock Index is unchanged. Producers received higher prices for wheat and lower prices for corn, soybeans, and
potatoes. 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 soybeans, corn, cottonseed, and cotton offset the decreased
marketing of wheat, milk, hogs, and hay.
The preliminary All Farm Products Index is down 23 points (11 percent) from October 2012. The Food Commodities
Index, at 189, increased 8 points (4.4 percent) from last month but decreased 7 points (3.6 percent) from October 2012.

Prices Paid Index up 1 Point
The October Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is
218 percent of the 1990-1992 average. The index is up 1 point (0.5 percent) from September but unchanged from
October 2012. Higher prices in October for concentrates, feeder cattle, feeder pigs, and nitrogen offset lower prices for
feed grains, complete feeds, diesel, and gasoline.

Agricultural Prices (October 2013)
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 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.

Prices Paid by Farmers
The October Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at
218 (1990-1992=100), is up 0.5 percent from September but unchanged from October 2012.
Production index: The October index, at 230, is unchanged from last month but decreased 0.9 percent from last year.
Higher prices in October for concentrates, feeder cattle, feeder pigs, and nitrogen offset lower prices for feed grains,
complete feeds, diesel, and gasoline.
Feed: The October index, at 255, increased 0.4 percent from September but decreased 8.9 percent from last October.
Since September, higher prices for concentrates and hay & forages offset lower prices for feed grains, complete feeds, and
supplements.
Livestock and poultry: The October index, at 184, increased 5.1 percent from last month and 13 percent from last year.
Since September, prices for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, and milk cows are higher. The October feeder cattle price, at
$162.00 per cwt, is up $6.40 per cwt from the September price. October feeder pigs averaged $174.00 per cwt, up
$30.00 per cwt from September.
Fertilizer: The October index, at 282, is up 0.4 percent from September but 13 percent below October a year ago. Since
September, higher prices for nitrogen offset lower prices for potash & phosphate and mixed fertilizer.
Chemicals: The October index, at 160, increased 0.6 percent from September and 3.9 percent from last October.
Compared with last month, prices for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides/other are higher.
Fuels: The October index, at 359, is down 1.6 percent from a month earlier and 3.0 percent below October 2012.
Compared with last month, prices are lower for diesel and gasoline but higher for LP gas.
Machinery: The October index, at 263, is unchanged from September but is 1.5 percent above last October.
Consumer price index: The September 2013 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 234.149 (1982-1984=100). The
August index is 233.877. For the 12 month period ending in September, the overall index increased 1.2 percent.

Agricultural Prices (October 2013)
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 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 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 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 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).
