Rough Rice Stocks Down 17 Percent from March 2019
Rough rice stocks in all positions on March 1, 2020, totaled 86.1 million hundredweight (cwt), down 17 percent from the
total on March 1, 2019. Stocks held on farms totaled 14.4 million cwt, and off-farm stocks totaled 71.8 million cwt. Long
grain varieties accounted for 60 percent of the total rough rice, medium grain accounted for 38 percent, and short grain
varieties accounted for 2 percent.
Milled rice stocks in all positions totaled 5.24 million cwt, up 26 percent from a year ago. Milled rice stocks were
comprised of 3.33 million cwt of whole kernel rice and 1.91 million cwt of second heads, screenings, and brewers rice.

Rice Stocks (March 2020)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: The rice stocks estimates in this report are based on surveys conducted during the first two weeks of
March. Separate surveys were conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm estimates. The on-farm stocks survey is a
probability survey based on a sampling procedure that ensures all operations storing rice in the United States have a
chance to be selected. These producers were asked to provide the total quantities of grain stored on their operations as of
March 1, 2020 regardless of ownership. Off-farm stocks are a census of all known rice storage facilities. An effort is made
to obtain reports from all off-farm facilities. Estimates are made for missing facilities to assure complete coverage.
Estimating 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 rice stocks, the total 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, exports, and
millings 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 in the quarter following initial publication and again
in the following December 1 Rice Stocks report published in January each year. Revisions can be made when late reports
are received, errors are detected in reporting and calculating, and when production estimates are revised. Estimates will
also be reviewed after data from the 5-year Census of Agriculture are available. 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 drastically different. The on-farm stocks estimates are subject to sampling variability because all
operations holding on-farm stocks are not included in the sample.
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.
