The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS) conducted the 2018 Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture,
analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census
provides a comprehensive picture of Puerto Rico’s agriculture in 2018,
and NASS recognizes and appreciates that many individuals and
organizations contributed to the effort.

El Servicio Nacional de Estadísticas Agrícolas (NASS) del Departamento
de Agricultura de EE.UU. realizó el Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico
de 2018, analizó los datos y preparó este y otros informes. El censo
proporciona una imagen completa de la agricultura de Puerto Rico el 2018,
y NASS reconoce y aprecia que muchas personas y organizaciones
contribuyeron a este esfuerzo.

Most importantly, the success of the agriculture census depends directly
on the cooperation of farmers across the island. Recognizing that
participating in the census is their responsibility and gives them a voice
in their future, agricultural operators took the time to provide the
information requested. We are grateful to every operator who
participated in the 2018 Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture.

Lo más importante, el éxito del censo agrícola depende directamente de la
cooperación de los agricultores en toda la isla. Reconociendo que

Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico de 2018.

Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture and their Statistics Division; the
College of Agricultural Science and the USDA Cooperative State
Research, Education, and Extension Service at the University of Puerto
Rico; various USDA agencies, farm organizations, stakeholder groups,

HISTORY

HISTORIA

For more than 150 years, the U.S. Department
of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, conducted
the census of agriculture. However, the 1997
Appropriations
Act
transferred
the
responsibility from the Bureau of the Census to
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA),
National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS).

Por más de 150 años, el Negociado del Censo del
Departamento de Comercio de los EE. UU., llevó a cabo
el censo de agricultura. Sin embargo, el Acta de
Apropiación de 1997 transfirió esta responsabilidad del
Negociado del Censo al Servicio Nacional de
Estadísticas Agrícolas (NASS, por sus siglas en inglés)
en el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados
Unidos (USDA).

The census of agriculture is taken to obtain
agricultural statistics for each county, State
(including territories and protectorates), and the
Nation. The first U.S. census of agriculture data
were collected in 1840 as a part of the sixth
decennial census. From then to 1920, an
agricultural census was taken as a part of each
decennial census. Since 1920, a separate national
agricultural census has been taken every 5 years.

El censo de agricultura se toma para obtener estadísticas
agrícolas para cada municipalidad, cada estado
(incluyendo los territorios y protectorados) y la nación.
Los primeros datos del censo de agricultura de los
EE.UU. se recopilaron en el año 1840 como parte del
sexto censo decenal. Desde entonces hasta el 1920, el
censo agrícola formó parte de cada censo decenal. A
partir de 1920, se ha estado llevando a cabo un censo
agrícola nacional por separado a intervalos de cada 5
años.

In Puerto Rico, the 2018 Census of Agriculture
was taken in accordance with a Cooperative
Agreement signed by NASS, the Puerto Rico
Department of Agriculture, and the University of
Puerto Rico Extension Service. It is the Island's
18th census of agriculture, with the first being
taken in 1910. From then to 1950, a census of
agriculture was taken every 10 years in
conjunction with the decennial censuses. In 1935,
a special census of Puerto Rico was taken by the
Puerto Rican Reconstruction Administration. In
1957, an amendment was made to the law to
include Puerto Rico in the quinquennial national
census of agriculture. The first census under this
amendment was taken in 1959, separately from
the 1960 decennial census. From 1959 to 1974, a
census of agriculture was taken for the years
ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, Congress authorized
the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and

En Puerto Rico, el Censo de Agricultura de 2018 se llevó
a cabo mediante un acuerdo cooperativo entre el NASS,
el Departamento de Agricultura de Puerto Rico y el
Servicio de Extensión Agrícola de la Universidad de
Puerto Rico. Es el 18vo censo de agricultura de la isla,
con el primero que se realizó en el 1910. Desde entonces
y hasta 1950, se realizó un censo de agricultura cada 10
años como parte del censo decenal. En 1935, la
Administración de Reconstrucción de Puerto Rico llevó
a cabo un censo especial. En 1957, se enmendó la ley
para incluir a Puerto Rico en el censo agrícola
quinquenal de la Nación. El primer censo bajo esta
enmienda se realizó en 1959, por separado del censo
decenal de 1960. De 1959 a 1974, se llevó a cabo un
censo de agricultura para los años que terminaban en 4
y 9. En 1976, el Congreso autorizó que se tomara un
censo de agricultura en el 1978 y en el 1982 para ajustar
el año de referencia para que coincidiera con otros
censos económicos. Este ajuste puso al censo de

Introduction IX

1982 to adjust the data reference year so that it
coincided with other economic censuses. This
adjustment in timing established the census of
agriculture on a 5-year data collection cycle for
the years ending in 2 and 7.

agricultura en un ciclo de 5 años, recopilándose la
información en años que terminan en 2 y 7.

Originally, data for censuses in Puerto Rico were
collected on a fiscal year basis, rather than on a
calendar year basis. At the request of the local
government agencies and other data users, the
2002 Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture was the
first taken on a calendar year basis, bringing the
Puerto Rico census in line with the United States,
and subsequent censuses have continued to be
done on a calendar basis.

Inicialmente, la información para los censos de Puerto
Rico se recopiló a base de año fiscal y no del año
calendario. A pedido de las agencias gubernamentales
de Puerto Rico y otros usuarios de los datos, el Censo de
Agricultura de Puerto Rico de 2002 fue el primero que
se tomó para el año calendario, poniendo así el censo de
Puerto Rico a la par con el de los Estados Unidos, y los
censos subsiguientes han mantenido el mismo patrón.

USES OF CENSUS DATA

USOS DE LOS DATOS DEL CENSO

The census of agriculture is the leading source of
statistics about Puerto Rico's agricultural
production.
Census statistics are used by
Congress to develop and change farm programs,
study historical trends, assess current conditions,
and plan for the future.

El censo de la agricultura es la principal fuente de
estadísticas sobre la producción agrícola de Puerto Rico.
El Congreso utiliza las estadísticas del censo para
desarrollar y hacer cambios a los programas agrícolas,
estudiar tendencias históricas, evaluar las condiciones
actuales y planificar el futuro.

Government agencies, such as the Puerto Rico
Department of Agriculture, use census data to
estimate losses and damages caused by natural
disasters such as plagues, hurricanes, flooding,
and severe droughts. Private industry uses census
statistics to develop more effective production
and distribution systems for the agricultural
community.

Entidades gubernamentales, tales como el Departamento
de Agricultura de Puerto Rico, utilizan los datos del
censo para estimar las pérdidas ocasionadas a la
agricultura por desastres naturales tales como como
plagas, huracanes, inundaciones y sequías severas. La
industria privada utiliza las estadísticas del censo para
desarrollar sistemas de producción y distribución más
efectivos para la comunidad agrícola.

LEGAL AUTHORITY

AUTORIDAD LEGAL

The 2017 Census of Agriculture is required by
law under the “Census of Agriculture Act of
1997,” Public Law 105-113 (Title 7, United
States Code, Section 2204g). The law directs the
Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a census of
agriculture every fifth year. The census of
agriculture includes each State, Puerto Rico,
Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the
Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and
American Samoa.

El Censo de Agricultura de 2017 es requerido por ley
bajo la "Ley del Censo de Agricultura de 1997", Ley
Pública 105-113 (Título 7, Código de los Estados
Unidos, Sección 2204g). La ley ordena al Secretario de
Agricultura de los EE. UU. que realice un censo de
agricultura cada cinco años. El censo de agricultura
incluye a cada estado, Puerto Rico, Guam, las Islas
Vírgenes de los EE.UU., la Mancomunidad de las Islas
Marianas del Norte y Samoa Americana.

The census data for Puerto Rico were collected in
accordance with Cooperative Agreements
approved by the Director of the Census and
Survey Division of NASS and by the Secretary of
the Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture, the

FARM DEFINITION

DEFINICIÓN DE FINCA

The statistics collected in the census relate to
places with agricultural operations qualifying as
farms according to the census definition. In
Puerto Rico, this included all places from which
$500 or more of agricultural products were
produced and sold, or normally would have been
sold, during the 12-month period between
January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2018.

Las estadísticas recopiladas en el censo se refieren a
lugares con actividades agrícolas que califican como
fincas de acuerdo con la definición del censo. En Puerto
Rico, se incluyen todos los lugares en donde se
produjeron y se vendieron $500 o más en productos
agrícolas, o que normalmente se hubiesen vendido,
durante el período de 12 meses, entre el 1ro de enero de
2018 y el 31 de diciembre de 2018.

DATA COMPARABILITY

COMPARABILIDAD DE DATOS

Most island level data are comparable between
the 2018 census and the 2012 census. Regional
level data, for the 2018 Puerto Rico Census of
Agriculture, are not directly comparable to 2012
and earlier municipio census level data. Due to
low response rates to the 2018 Puerto Rico
Census of Agriculture, NASS could only publish
results at the regional levels, as opposed to the
municipio level which have historically been
used.

La mayoría de los datos a nivel de la isla son
comparables entre el censo de 2018 y el censo de 2012.
Los datos a nivel regional, para el Censo de Agricultura
de Puerto Rico de 2018, no son directamente
comparables con los datos a nivel de municipio para el
censo de 2012 y censos anteriores. Debido al bajo
número de respuestas al Censo de Agricultura de Puerto
Rico de 2018, NASS solo pudo publicar resultados a
nivel regional, a diferencia del nivel de municipio que
históricamente se ha utilizado.

Users of the 2018 Census of Agriculture for
Puerto Rico should note that the farm definition
determined by NASS may differ from other
organizations that provide agricultural statistics.
For this reason, data provided in this report may
not be directly comparable to data provided by the
Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture or other
sources.

Los usuarios del Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico de
2018 deben tener en cuenta que la definición de finca
determinada por NASS puede diferir de otras
organizaciones que proporcionan estadísticas agrícolas.
Por esta razón, los datos proporcionados en este informe
pueden no ser directamente comparables con los datos
proporcionados por el Departamento de Agricultura de
Puerto Rico u otras fuentes.

All dollar values are expressed in current dollars,
i.e., 2018 data are expressed in 2018 dollars and
2012 data in 2012 dollars. The dollar values have
not been adjusted for changes in price levels
between census years. For other data changes
between censuses, refer to the section on Data
Changes in Appendix B.

Todo valor en dólares esta expresado en el valor
corriente, es decir, los datos para el 2018 se expresan en
el valor del dólar al año 2018 y los datos para el 2012 se
expresan en el valor del dólar al año 2012. Los valores
en dólares no han sido ajustados al cambio en el nivel de
precios ocurrido en el periodo entre los dos censos. Para
otros cambios en los datos entre un censo y el otro,
refiérase a la sección sobre Cambios de Datos en el
Apéndice B.

IMPACT OF HURRICANE MARIA

IMPACTO DEL HURACÁN MARÍA

On September 20, 2017 hurricane Maria
devastated Puerto Rico. NASS had planned to
collect data for the Puerto Rico Census of
Agriculture along with the rest of the United

El 20 de septiembre de 2017, el huracán María devastó

Introduction XI

States beginning in December 2017. Due to the
lack of the communication infrastructure
necessary to continue with census activities
NASS decided to delay the 2017 Puerto Rico
Census of Agriculture. The Puerto Rico Census
of Agriculture was delayed for a whole year to
give farmers and government agencies time to
recover from such massive devastation, hence the
change in reference year for this publication. The
report forms were scheduled to be mailed-out on
December 2018. This mail-out was yet affected
by the Federal government shutdown at the end of
2018. The report forms were finally mailed out
to respondents on February 5, 2019.

comenzando en diciembre de 2017. Debido a la falta de
la infraestructura de comunicación necesaria para
continuar con las actividades del censo, NASS decidió
retrasar el Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico de 2017.
El Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico se retrasó por un
año entero para darles a los agricultores y agencias
gubernamentales tiempo para recuperarse de la
devastación masiva, de ahí el cambio en el año de
referencia para esta publicación. Se programó que los
formularios censales se enviaran por correo en
diciembre de 2018. Este envío por correo también se vio
afectado por el cierre del gobierno Federal a fines de
2018. Los formularios finalmente se enviaron por correo
a los encuestados el 5 de febrero de 2019.

REFERENCE PERIODS

PERÍODOS DE REFERENCIA

Data for inventories (of livestock, poultry, and
machinery, equipment, building, and facilities)
and data for agregados or sharecropper families
reflect the number on hand as of December 31 of
the census year (2018 or 2012).

Los datos de inventarios (de animales, aves de corral, y
maquinaria, equipos, edificios e instalaciones) y los
datos de familias de agregados o aparceros reflejan las
cantidades en la finca al 31 de diciembre del año censal
(2018 o 2012).

Data for production and sales of crops and
livestock, production expenses, farm related
income, hired workers, irrigation, and land use are
for the 12-month period from January 1 through
December 31 of the census year (2018 or 2012).

Los datos de producción y venta de cultivos y animales,
gastos de producción, ingresos relacionados con la finca,
trabajadores contratados, riego y uso de la tierra
corresponden al período de 12 meses comprendido entre
el 1ro de enero al 31 de diciembre del año del censal
(2018 o 2012).

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY

CONFIDENCIALIDAD DEL ENCUESTADO

In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the
United States Code, no data are published that
would disclose information about the operations
of an individual agricultural operation. All
tabulated data are subjected to an extensive
disclosure review prior to publication. Any
tabulated item that identifies data reported by a
respondent or allows a respondent’s data to be
accurately estimated or derived, was suppressed
and coded with a ‘D’. However, the number of
farms reporting an item is not considered
confidential information and is provided even
though other information is withheld.

De acuerdo con las disposiciones del Título 7 del Código
de los Estados Unidos, no se publican datos que revelen
información sobre las operaciones de una finca agrícola
individual. Todos los datos tabulados están sujetos a una
extensa revisión de divulgación antes de su publicación.
Cualquier elemento tabulado que identifica datos
informados por un encuestado o permite que los datos
de un encuestado puedan ser estimados o derivados con
precisión, se suprimió y codificó con una "D". Sin
embargo, el número de fincas que informan un artículo
no se considera información confidencial y se provee
aunque se retenga otra información.

Census of Agriculture
Methodology

INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCCIÓN

The purpose of a census is to enumerate all
members of a population with a defined
characteristic. For the Puerto Rico Census of
Agriculture, that goal is to account for “any
place from which $500 or more of agricultural
products were produced and sold, or normally
would have been sold, during the census year.”
To do this, NASS creates a Census Mail List
(CML) of agricultural operations that
potentially meet the farm definition, collects
agricultural information from those operations,
reviews the data, and combines the data to
provide information on the farm characteristics
of farm operations and farm operators at the
island and regional levels. In this appendix,
these census processes are described.

El propósito de un censo es enumerar todos los
miembros de una población con una característica
definida. Para el Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico,
ese objetivo es contabilizar "cualquier lugar desde el
cual se produjeron y vendieron $500 o más en
productos agrícolas, o que normalmente se hubiesen
vendido, durante el año censal". Para hacer esto,
NASS crea el listado de correo del censo (CML, por
sus siglas en inglés) de operaciones agrícolas que
potencialmente cumplen con la definición de finca,
recopila información agrícola sobre esas operaciones,
revisa los datos y combina los datos para proporcionar
información sobre las características de las
operaciones agrícolas y los agricultores a nivel insular
y regional. En este apéndice, se describen estos
procesos censales.

THE CENSUS POPULATION

LA POBLACIÓN DEL CENSO

The Census Mail List

La lista de correo del censo

The National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) maintains a list of farmers and
ranchers from which the CML is compiled.
The goal is to build as complete a list as
possible of agricultural places that meet the
farm definition. This list is compiled prior to
the census, using the list of active farms from
the 2012 Census of Agriculture, lists of
farmers from the Puerto Rico Department of
Agriculture, and the Agricultural Extension
Service of the University of Puerto Rico, plus
names and addresses of farm operators
identified through other sources. Each record
on the list includes a name, address, telephone
number, and email plus additional information
that is used to efficiently administer the census
of agriculture. These outside source lists are
matched to the NASS list using record linkage
programs. Most names on newly acquired
sources are already on the NASS list. Records

El Servicio Nacional de Estadísticas Agrícolas
(NASS) mantiene una lista de agricultores a partir de
la cual se compila el listado de correo del censo
(CML). El objetivo es construir un listado lo más
completo posible de lugares agrícolas que cumplan
con la definición de finca. Este listado se recopila antes
del censo, utilizando el listado de fincas activas del
Censo de Agricultura de 2012, listados del
Departamento de Agricultura de Puerto Rico y del
Servicio de Extensión Agrícola de la Universidad de
Puerto Rico, además de los nombres y direcciones de
operadores agrícolas identificados a través de otras
fuentes. Cada registro en la lista incluye un nombre,
dirección, número de teléfono y correo electrónico,
además de información adicional que se utiliza para
administrar eficientemente el censo de la agricultura.
Las listas de fuentes externas se verifican con la lista
de NASS utilizando programas de vinculación de
registros. La mayoría de los nombres en fuentes recién
adquiridas ya están en la lista de NASS. Los registros

que no figuran en la lista NASS se tratan como
posibles fincas y se agregan al CML.

List building activities for developing the 2018
Puerto Rico CML started in 2015 by updating
list information from respondents to the 2012
Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture. Measures
were taken to improve name and address
quality. Additional record linkage programs
were run to detect and remove duplicate
records. The official CML for the 2018 Puerto
Rico Census of Agriculture was established on
September 2018. The list contained 21,378
records.

Las actividades para desarrollar la CML para el Censo
de Agricultura de Puerto Rico de 2018 comenzaron en
el 2015 actualizando la información de la lista de los
agricultores que respondieron al Censo de Agricultura
de Puerto Rico de 2012. Se tomaron medidas para
mejorar la calidad de los nombres y direcciones. Se
ejecutaron programas de vinculación de registros
adicionales para detectar y eliminar duplicados. La
CML oficial para el Censo Agrícola de Puerto Rico
2018 se estableció en septiembre de 2018. La lista
contenía 21,378 registros.

Not on the Mail List (NML)

No en la lista de correo (NML)

Extensive efforts are directed toward
developing a CML that includes all farms in
Puerto Rico. However, some farms are not on
the list, and some agricultural operations on the
list are not farms. NASS uses its Area
Coverage Evaluation Survey (ACES) to
quantify the number and types of farms not on
the CML. The records in the ACES that are not
on the CML are said to be in the Not-on-theMail List (NML) domain. If an ACES record
in the NML domain is determined to be a farm
during the census, it is an NML farm. The
NML farms are used to measure coverage
associated with the census.

Se realizan grandes esfuerzos para desarrollar una
CML que incluya todas las fincas en Puerto Rico. Sin
embargo, algunas fincas no están en la lista, y algunas
operaciones agrícolas en la lista no son fincas. NASS
utiliza la Encuesta de Evaluación de Cobertura de Área
(ACES, por sus siglas en inglés) para cuantificar el
número y los tipos de fincas que no están en la CML.
Las fincas en el ACES que no están en la CML se
asignaron a la lista de agricultores que no se
encuentran en la lista de correo del censo (NML, por
sus siglas en inglés). Si se determina durante el censo
que un registro ACES en la NML es una finca, se
identifica como una finca NML. Las fincas NML se
utilizan para medir la cobertura asociada con el censo.

The ACES is based on an area frame, which
covers all land in Puerto Rico and includes all
farms. The land in Puerto Rico is stratified by
characteristics of the land. A probability
sample of segments is drawn within each
stratum for the ACES. Segments of
approximately equal size are delineated within
each stratum and designated on aerial
photographs. The ACES sample of segments is
allocated to strata to provide accurate measures
of cuerdas (1 cuerda = 0.97 acres) planted to
widely grown crops, farm numbers, and
inventories of livestock. The ACES sample
consisted of 300 segments, which are
personally enumerated. Each operation
identified within a segment boundary is known
as a tract.

El ACES se basa en un marco de área, que cubre toda
la superficie terrestre de Puerto Rico e incluye todas
las fincas. La superficie terrestre de Puerto Rico se
estratifica por las características del terreno. Para
ACES, se escoge una muestra probabilística de
segmentos dentro de cada estrato. Se delinean
segmentos de aproximadamente el mismo tamaño
dentro de cada estrato y se designan en fotografías
aéreas. La muestra de segmentos ACES se asigna a
estratos para proporcionar medidas precisas de
cuerdas (1 cuerda = 0.97 acres). La muestra de ACES
consistió en 300 segmentos que se enumeraron
personalmente. Cada operación identificada dentro de
los límites de un segmento se conoce como tracto.

A - 2 Appendix A/Apêndice A

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

During the ACES enumeration process, each
tract is identified as either agricultural or
nonagricultural. Each ACES agricultural tract
is identified as a farm or non-farm in 2018
based on the farm definition of $500 of sales or
potential sales of agricultural products. Nonagricultural tracts are further classified into
categories: with farm potential, with unknown
farm potential, or with no farm potential. The
names and addresses collected in ACES were
matched to the CML. Those names from the
ACES that did not match were determined to
be in the NML domain and sent a census report
form. Instructions on the census report form
directed any respondent who received
duplicate forms to complete only one form and
to mail all duplicate forms back together.
Those who returned a CML and an NML form
had been misclassified as NML and were
removed from the NML domain. The initial
NML mailout consisted of 1,952 records. A
total of 462 NML records were summarized of
which 47 records were confirmed to be NML
and in-scope.

Durante el proceso de enumeración de ACES, cada
tracto se identifica como agrícola o no agrícola. Cada
tracto agrícola de ACES se identifica como una finca
o no finca en 2018 basado en la definición de la finca
de $500 o más en venta de productos agrícolas o que
potencialmente hubieran podido haberse vendido. Los
tractos no agrícolas se clasifican en las siguientes
categorías: con potencial agrícola, con potencial
agrícola desconocido o sin potencial agrícola. Los
nombres y direcciones recopilados en ACES se
comparan con los nombres en la CML. Los nombres
de ACES que no se encontraron en la lista se
consideraron como NML y se les envió un formulario
censal. Las instrucciones en el formulario censal
indicaban a cualquier encuestado que recibiera más de
un formulario censal
a completar solamente un
formulario y a devolver todos los formularios
duplicados junto con el formulario completado.
Aquellos que devolvieron un formulario CML y NML
habían sido clasificados erróneamente como NML y
fueron eliminados del dominio NML. El envío inicial
de NML consistió en 1,952 registros. Se resumieron
un total de 462 registros NML, de los cuales se
confirmó que 47 registros eran NML y eran fincas
según la definición del censo.

The farm/nonfarm status of each NML domain
operation was determined based on the
reported data in the census form. An operation
in the NML domain that was determined to be
a farm is referred to as an NML farm.
Characteristics of NML farms and their
operators provided a measure of the
undercoverage of farms on the CML. In
general, NML farms tended to be small in
acreage, production, and sales of agricultural
products. Farm operations were missing from
the CML for various reasons, including the
possibility that the operation started after
development of the CML, the operation was so
small that it did not appear in any agriculturerelated source list, or the operation was
misclassified as a nonfarm prior to census
mailout. The CML was used with the NML in
a capture-recapture framework to represent all
farming operations across Puerto Rico.

La clasificación como finca o no finca de cada
operación en el listado o NML se determinó basado en
los datos reportados en el formulario censal. Una
operación en el listado NML que se determinó que es
una finca se denomina como una finca NML. Las
características de las fincas NML y sus operadores
proporcionaron una medida de la cobertura
insuficiente de las fincas en la CML. En general, las
fincas NML tienden a ser pequeñas en tamaño,
producción y ventas de productos agrícolas. Algunas
razones por la cual operaciones agrícolas no fueron
incluidas en la CML incluyen: la posibilidad de que la
operación comenzara después del desarrollo de la
CML, la operación era tan pequeña que no aparecía en
ninguna lista de fuentes relacionadas con la
agricultura, o la operación se clasificó erróneamente
como no agrícola antes del envío del censo. La CML
se utilizó con el NML en un marco de capturarecaptura para representar todas las operaciones
agrícolas en Puerto Rico.

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND
PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS

DIFUSIÓN DE RECOPILACIÓN DE DATOS Y
ESFUERZOS PROMOCIONALES

NASS developed a communication plan
largely based on promotional materials that
were shared with local outreach partners,
including but not limited to the University of
Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Department of
Agriculture, for the island’s operators,
enumerators, and media. The goal with these
products included:

El NASS desarrolló un plan de comunicación basado
principalmente en materiales de promoción que se
compartieron con nuestros colaboradores locales,
entre ellos, la Universidad de Puerto Rico y el
Departamento de Agricultura de Puerto Rico, para ser
distribuido entro los agricultores, los enumeradores y
los medios de comunicación local. El objetivo con
estos productos incluyó:

• Encouraging participation in the Census of
Agriculture
• Directing operators to the NASS website
for online response
• Communicating how the census provides
much needed data that are used by federal
and local decision makers
• Explaining that response to the Census of
Agriculture is required and that reported
information is protected by federal law
• Increasing general
awareness
and
perceived value of NASS, its products, and
services

• Fomentar la participación en el Censo de
Agricultura
• Dirigir a los agricultores a la página web de NASS
para que respondieran en línea
• Comunicar cómo el censo provee datos muy
necesarios que serán utilizados por el gobierno
Federal y local para tomar decisiones
• Explicar que la respuesta al Censo de Agricultura
es obligatoria y que la información reportada está
protegida por la ley federal
• Aumentar la conciencia general y el valor
percibido de NASS, sus productos, y servicios

Partnership and Local-Level Outreach

Colaboración y Difusión a Nivel Local

In addition to the contribution made by the
University of Puerto Rico Extension Service,
which produced the Census brochure and
poster, several USDA agencies in Puerto Rico,
including the Natural Resources and
Conservation Service (NRCS) and the Farm
Service Agency (FSA), helped spread the word
about data collection. Before data collection
began, the local government held a
proclamation ceremony for the media, and
other stakeholders. Several dozen Census
folders were stuffed with associated content
and provided to partners. Talking points in
both English and Spanish were printed and
laminated for local leadership, partners, and
enumerators.

Además de la contribución realizada por el Servicio de
Extensión Agrícola de la Universidad de Puerto Rico,
que produjo el folleto y el afiche del Censo, varias
agencias del USDA en Puerto Rico, incluyendo el
Servicio de Conservación y Recursos Naturales
(NRCS, por sus siglas en inglés) y la Agencia de
Servicio Agrícola (FSA, por sus siglas en inglés),
ayudaron a difundir información sobre la recolección
de datos. Antes del comienzo de la recopilación de
datos, el gobierno local celebró una ceremonia de
proclamación para los medios de comunicación y otros
colaboradores. Se prepararon docenas de carpetas del
Censo con materiales de promoción y se les
proporcionaron a nuestros colaboradores locales. Los
puntos de información importantes fueron impresos y
laminados para distribución entre los supervisores y
los enumeradores.

DATA COLLECTION

RECOPILACIÓN DE DATOS

Method of Enumeration

Método de Enumeración

Data collection was accomplished primarily by
mail. A Computer-Assisted Self-Interviewing
(CASI) instrument was also available for
operators who preferred to report online. A
letter with a unique survey code and
instructions for completing their census online
was included in each mail package.
Enumerators from the Puerto Rico Department
of Agriculture and the Extension Service
conducted field follow-up visits to enumerate
operations that did not respond by mail.

La recopilación de datos se realizó principalmente por
correo. Un formulario de auto-entrevista asistida por
computadora (CASI, por sus siglas en inglés) también
estuvo disponible para los agricultores que prefirieron
reportar en línea. En cada paquete de correo se incluyó
una carta con el código de encuesta e instrucciones
para completar el censo en línea. Enumeradores del
Departamento de Agricultura de Puerto Rico y del
Servicio de Extensión Agrícola realizaron visitas de
seguimiento para encuestar los agricultores que no
respondieron por correo.

Report Form

Formulario Censal

A single version of the report form, in Spanish,
was prepared by NASS, in cooperation with an
inter-agency working group that included
members of the Puerto Rico Institute of
Statistics, the Planning Board, the Puerto Rico
Department of Agriculture, the College of
Agricultural Sciences at the University of
Puerto Rico, Mayagüez Campus (RUM), the
Extension Service, and other data users. The
report form targeted crops and livestock
specifically grown or raised in Puerto Rico but
it also allowed respondents to write in specific
commodities that were not prelisted on the
report form.

NASS preparó una sola versión del formulario censal,
en español, en cooperación con el comité interagencial
integrado por miembros del Instituto de Estadística de
Puerto Rico, la Junta de Planificación, el
Departamento de Agricultura de Puerto Rico, el
Colegio de Ciencias Agrícolas de la Universidad de
Puerto Rico, Recinto Universitario de Mayagüez
(RUM), el Servicio de Extensión Agrícola y otras
entidades agrícolas. El formulario censal incluyó
cultivos y animales característicos de Puerto Rico.
Además, ofreció a los encuestados poder incluir
productos que no figuraban en las listas impresas en el
formulario censal.

Data Collection Training Program

Programa de Capacitación en Recopilación
de Datos

Selected staff members from the Puerto Rico
Department of Agriculture and the Extension
Service received special training for the census
in accordance with instructions prepared by
NASS. The training included an overview of
the census of agriculture program, and a
detailed discussion of the enumerator's
instructions manual and the report form.

Personal del Departamento de Agricultura de Puerto

formulario censal.

Report Form Mailings

Envío de Formularios

Approximately 21,000 mail packets were
mailed on February 5, 2019. The original
mailout, scheduled for December 2018, was
delayed due to the Federal government
shutdown. Each packet contained a cover
letter, instruction sheet, a labeled report form,
and a return envelope. The Census Bureau’s
National Processing Center (NPC) in
Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to perform
mail packet preparation, initial mailout, and
one follow-up mailing to nonrespondents.

El 5 de febrero de 2019 se enviaron aproximadamente
21,000 paquetes por correo. El envío original,
programado para diciembre de 2018, se retrasó debido
al cierre del gobierno Federal. Cada paquete contenía
una carta de presentación, una hoja de instrucciones,
un formulario censal etiquetado y un sobre de
devolución. El Centro Nacional de Procesamiento
(NPC, por sus siglas en inglés) del Negociado del
Censo en Jeffersonville, Indiana, fue contratado para
preparar los paquetes de correo, el envío inicial y un
segundo envío a quienes no respondieron.

Nonresponse Follow-up

Seguimiento a la No Respuesta

NASS targeted selected groups for in-person
enumeration. These groups included:

NASS seleccionó grupos determinados que no habían
devuelto el formulario censal para ser visitados
personalmente por un enumerador. Estos grupos
incluyeron:

• Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture list
- large records ($50,000 or more in sales)
• Puerto Rico Department of Agriculture list
- other records (with less than $50,000 in
sales)
• Extension Service list

These records were identified as large or
unique operations, the absence of which could
have significantly affected the accuracy of
census results. Enumerators from the Puerto
Rico Department of Agriculture and the
Extension Service conducted field follow-up
visits to enumerate operations that did not
respond by mail. If an operation was no longer
in business, its nonfarm status was
documented.

REPORT FORM PROCESSING

PROCESAMIENTO DEL FORMULARIO
CENSAL

Data Capture

Captura de los Datos

The Census Bureau’s National Processing
Center (NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was
contracted to process returned mail packets.
NASS staff on site at the NPC provided
technical guidance and monitored NPC
processing activities. Questionnaires returned
to the NPC were immediately checked in,
utilizing the bar codes printed on the mailing
label.
This ensured the case would be
removed from follow-up report form mailings.
All forms with data were scanned and an image
was made of each page of the questionnaire.
Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) was used to
capture categorical responses and to identify
entries in numeric and alpha-character answer
zones.

El Centro Nacional de Procesamiento (NPC) del
Negociado del Censo en Jeffersonville, IN, fue
contratado para procesar los paquetes de correo
devueltos. El personal de NASS adscrito al NPC
proporcionó orientación técnica y supervisó las
actividades de procesamiento que se llevaron a cabo.
Los formularios devueltos al NPC se procesaban
inmediatamente, utilizando los códigos de barras
impresos en la etiqueta de correo. Esto aseguró que el
caso se eliminara de los listados de correos designados
a recibir un formulario de seguimiento. Se escanearon
todos los formularios con datos y se realizó una
imagen de cada página del formulario. El
reconocimiento óptico de marcas (OMR, por sus siglas
en inglés) se utilizó para capturar respuestas
categóricas e identificar entradas en zonas de respuesta
numéricas y de caracteres alfabéticos.

Data entry operators keyed data from the
scanned images. Answer zones with entries,
identified in the earlier OMR analysis were
presented to the data entry operators. The
keyer evaluated the contents and captured
pertinent responses. Ten percent of the
identified answer zones were keyed a second
time for independent quality control. If
differences existed between the first keyed
value and the second, an adjudicator handled
resolution. The adjudicator identified the
correct entry and identified the “cause” of the
error in the other entry.

Los operadores de entrada de datos ingresaron los
datos utilizando las imágenes escaneadas. Las zonas
de respuesta con entradas, identificadas en el análisis
OMR, se asignaron a los operadores de entrada de
datos. El operador de entrada de datos evaluó el
contenido y capturó las respuestas pertinentes. El diez
por ciento de las zonas de respuesta identificadas
fueron codificadas por segunda vez por un control de
calidad independiente. Si existían diferencias entre el
primer valor tecleado y el segundo, un supervisor se
encargaría de la resolución. El supervisor identificó la
respuesta correcta e identificó la "causa" del error en
la respuesta incorrectas.

The adjudication provided feedback to the
keyers to improve data capture skills, reward
skilled keyers, and ensure that the error rate did
not exceed the Acceptable Quality Limit
(AQL) of 1%. The data capture error rate for
the Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture was
measured at 0.27%. The images and captured
data were transmitted to NASS’s centralized
network and became available to NASS
analysts on a flow basis. The images were then
available for use in all stages of review.

El proceso de adjudicación proporcionó información a
los operadores de entrada de datos para mejorar sus
habilidades de captura de datos, premiar a los más
proficientes y garantizar que el Límite de Calidad
Aceptable (AQL, por sus siglas en inglés) no superase
el 1%. La tasa de error de captura de datos para el
Censo Agrícola de Puerto Rico se midió en
0.27%. Las imágenes y los datos capturados se
transmitieron a la red centralizada de NASS y se
pusieron a disposición de los analistas de NASS según
se iban procesando. Las imágenes estuvieron
disponibles durante todas las etapas de revisión.

EDITING DATA

EDICIÓN DE DATOS

Captured data were processed through a
computer formatting program that verified that
records were valid – that the record ID number
was on the list of census records, that the
reported municipios of operation and
production were valid, and other related
criteria. Rejected records were referred to
analysts for correction. Accepted records were
sent to a complex computer batch edit process.
Each execution of the computer edit in batch
mode flowed as the data were received from
NPC.

Los datos recolectados se procesaron a través de un
programa de formato de computadora que verificó que
las respuestas fueran válidas: que el número de
identificación asignado a cada cuestionario estaba en
la lista de registros del censo, que los municipios de
operación y producción informados eran válidos y
otros criterios relacionados. Los formularios
rechazados fueron remitidos a los analistas para su
corrección. Los formularios aceptados fueron
agrupados y enviados a un proceso de revisión
informática. Cada ejecución de esta revisión
informática se realizó según se fueron recibiendo los
datos del Centro Nacional de Procesamiento (NPC).

The computer edit determined whether a
reporting operation met the qualifying criteria
to be counted as a farm (in-scope). The edit
examined each in-scope record for
reasonableness and completeness and
determined whether to accept the recorded
value for each data item or take corrective
action. Such corrective actions included
removing erroneously reported values,
replacing an unreasonable value with one
consistent with other reported data, or
providing a value for an item omitted by the
respondent. To the extent possible, the
computer edit determined a replacement value.
Strategies for determining replacement values
are discussed in the next section. Operations
failing to meet the qualifying criteria for being
classified as a farm were categorized as out-ofscope for the census. Records that NASS had
reason to believe might have been erroneously
classified as out-of-scope (indications of
recent and/or significant agricultural activity
reported on NASS surveys, for example) were
referred to analysts for verification.

El programa de revisión determinó si el formulario
cumplía con los criterios establecidos para calificar
como una finca para propósitos del censo. Para cada
formulario el programa verificó que los datos
reportados fuesen razonables y estuviesen completos.
Además, determinó si aceptaba los valores reportados
o si tomaba medidas correctivas. Las acciones
correctivas incluyeron la eliminación de valores
reportados erróneamente, la sustitución de un valor no
razonable por uno consistente con los otros datos
reportados, o el proveer valores adecuados para
partidas dejadas en blanco. Según fuese necesario, el
programa determinó valores sustitutos. Las estrategias
para determinar los valores sustitutos se discuten en la
siguiente sección. Las operaciones que no cumplían
con los criterios de calificación para ser clasificadas
como fincas se clasificaron como no fincas. Los
cuestionarios que NASS creía que habían sido
clasificados erróneamente como no fincas (por
ejemplo, indicaciones de actividad agrícola reciente en
otras encuestas de NASS) se remitieron a los analistas
para su verificación.

The edit systematically checked reported data
section-by-section with the overall objective of
achieving an internally consistent and
complete report. NASS subject-matter experts
had previously defined the criteria for
acceptable data. Problems that could not be
resolved within the edit were referred to an
analyst for intervention. A group of analysts
examined the scanned images, consulted

El programa de revisión verificó sistemáticamente
todos los datos reportados en el formulario, sección
por sección, con el objetivo general de lograr un

Imputing Data

Imputación de Datos

The edit determined the best value to impute
for reported responses that were deemed
unreasonable and for required responses that
were absent. For operators who had not
changed in five years, demographics such as
race and gender were taken from the previous
census. Administrative data from the Farm
Service Agency (FSA) were used for a few
items, such as Conservation Reserve Program
(CRP) acreage. When deterministic edit logic
and previously reported data sources were
unable to provide a current value, data from a
reporting farm of similar type, size, and
location were considered. In cases where
automated imputation was unable to provide a
consistent report, the record was referred to an
analyst for resolution.

El programa de revisión de datos determinó el mejor
valor para imputar las respuestas informadas que se
consideraron no eran razonables y las respuestas
requeridas que estuvieron ausentes. Para operadores
que no habían cambiado en cinco años, se tomaron los
datos demográficos tales como raza y género del censo
anterior. Los datos administrativos de la Agencia de
Servicios Agrícolas (FSA, por sus siglas en inglés) se
utilizaron para algunas partidas, tales como las cuerdas
en el Programa de Reserva de Conservación (CRP, por
sus siglas en inglés). Cuando la lógica de edición
determinista y las fuentes de datos informados
anteriormente no pudieron proporcionar un valor
actual, se consideraron los datos de una finca similar
en cuanto al tipo, el tamaño y la ubicación. En los
casos en que la imputación automática no pudo
proporcionar un informe coherente, el formulario se
envió a un analista para su resolución.

Separate system processes were established to
efficiently provide data from a similar farm to
the edit when donor imputation was required.
The farm characteristics used to define
similarity between a recipient record and its
donor record were in part defined beforehand,
and in part determined by the edit logic.
Euclidean distance was used for similarity
computations, with each contributing
similarity characteristic scaled appropriately.
The most similar farm based on this criterion
(the “nearest neighbor”) was identified and
returned to the edit for use as a donor. The
calculated distance between the centroids of
the principal municipios of production of the
donor and recipient was always included as
one of the measures of similarity.

Se establecieron procesos de sistema separados para
proporcionar eficientemente datos de una finca similar
al programa de edición cuando se requirió un donante
para imputar un valor. Las características de finca
utilizadas para definir la similitud entre un registro de
destinatario y su registro de donante se definieron en
parte de antemano y en parte se determinaron mediante
la lógica de edición. La distancia euclidiana se usó
para cálculos de similitud, con cada característica de
similitud contribuyente escalada adecuadamente. La
finca más similar basada en este criterio (el "vecino
más cercano") fue identificada y devuelta al programa
de edición para su uso como donante. La distancia
calculada entre los centroides de los principales
municipios de producción del donante y el receptor
siempre se incluyó como una de las medidas de
similitud.

To provide donors to the automated edit, a pool
of successfully edited records was maintained
for each section of the report form. These
donor pools began with 2012 census data,
reconfigured to emulate 2018 data and then
edited using 2018 logic. As 2018 records were
successfully processed, they were added to the
donor pools, which maintained the most recent
data for each farm. Donor pools were updated

Para proporcionar donantes a la edición automatizada,
se mantuvo un grupo de reportes de fincas editados
con éxito para cada sección del cuestionario. Estos
grupos de donantes comenzaron con los datos del
censo de 2012, reconfigurados para emular los datos
de 2018 y luego editados utilizando la lógica de 2018.
A medida que los cuestionarios de 2018 se procesaron
con éxito, se agregaron a los grupos de donantes, que
mantuvieron los datos más recientes para cada finca.

2017 Census of Agriculture

Appendix A/Apêndice A A - 9

periodically, as determined by edit processing
schedules. After each update, donor pool
records were grouped into strata containing
farms of similar type and size, using a datadriven algorithm to define strata.

Los grupos de donantes se actualizaron
periódicamente, según lo determinado por los horarios
de procesamiento de edición. Después de cada
actualización, los registros de la agrupación de
donantes se agruparon en estratos que contenían fincas
de tipo y tamaño similares, utilizando un algoritmo
basado en datos para definir estratos.

In response to each donor request issued by the
edit, a dedicated system process would search
the appropriate stratum and respond with the
most similar donor, while giving preference to
more recent donors. In relatively rare instances
where it was unable to provide a donor, the
donor selection process issued an appropriate
failure message to the edit. Imputation failures
occurred for several different reasons. The
requirement that an imputed value be positive
could have ruled out all available donors, as
could have the necessity for the donor record
to satisfy a particular constraint – say, that the
donor record has cattle, but no milk cows. In
general, an imputation failure occurred if there
were no satisfactory donors in the same profile
as the report being edited. Records with
imputation failures were either held until more
records were available in the donor pool or
referred to an analyst. In addition, when such a
failure occurred in finding a donor for
expenditure data, donor pool averages were
provided in lieu of an individual donor,
wherever possible. This “failover” utility was
first introduced for the 2012 census imputation
process, and significantly reduced the number
of imputation failures among the expenditure
and labor variables.

En respuesta a cada solicitud de donante emitida por
el programa de edición, un proceso de sistema
dedicado buscaría el estrato apropiado y respondería
con el donante más similar, al tiempo que daría
preferencia a los donantes más recientes. En casos
relativamente raros en los que no pudo proporcionar
un donante, el proceso de selección de donantes emitió
un mensaje de error apropiado para la edición. Las
fallas de imputación ocurrieron por varias razones
diferentes. El requisito de que un valor imputado sea
positivo podría haber descartado a todos los donantes
disponibles, ya que podría tener la necesidad de que el
registro de donantes satisfaga una restricción
particular; por ejemplo, que el reporte donante tenga
ganado, pero no vacas lecheras. En este caso, se
produjo un error de imputación si no había donantes
satisfactorios en el mismo perfil que el cuestionario
que se está editando. Los reportes con fallas de
imputación se mantuvieron hasta que hubo más
cuestionarios disponibles en el grupo de donantes o
fueron remitidos a un analista. Además, cuando se
produjo tal falla en la búsqueda de un donante para los
datos de gastos, se proporcionaron promedios de
grupo de donantes en lugar de un donante individual,
siempre que fuera posible. Esta utilidad de
"conmutación por error" se introdujo por primera vez
para el proceso de imputación del censo de 2012, y
redujo significativamente el número de fallas de
imputación entre las variables de gastos y mano de
obra.

After receiving a donor's data, the edit
substituted the values into the edited record. In
many cases, the donor record's data value was
scaled using another data field specified in the
edit logic. In such cases, the size of the
auxiliary field's value in the edited record,
relative to its value in the donor record, was
used to appropriately scale the donor record's
value for the field to be imputed. The imputed
data were then validated by the same edit logic
to which reported data were subject. Since
imputation was conducted independently for

Después de recibir los datos de un reporte donante, la
edición sustituyó los valores en el formulario editado.
En muchos casos, el valor de datos del reporte donante
se escaló utilizando otra partida de datos especificado
en la lógica del programa de edición. En tales casos, el
tamaño del valor de la partida auxiliar en el formulario
editado, en relación con su valor en el cuestionario
donante, se utilizó para escalar adecuadamente el valor
del formulario donante para la partida que se imputará.
Los datos imputados fueron validados por la misma
lógica de edición a la que estaban sujetos los datos
informados. Dado que la imputación se realizó de

Data Analysis

Análisis de los datos

The complex edit ensured the full internal
consistency of the record. All substantial
changes to the data generated by the computer
edits were reviewed and verified by analysts
whom were also provided an additional set of
tools, in the form of listings and graphs, to
review record-level data across farms. These
examinations revealed extreme outliers, large
and small, or unique data distribution patterns
that were possibly a result of reporting,
recording, or handling errors. Potential
problems were investigated and, when
necessary, corrections were made and the
record interactively edited again.

La edición compleja garantizó la plena consistencia
interna del formulario. Todos los cambios sustanciales
en los datos generados por las ediciones por
computadora fueron revisados y verificados por
analistas a quienes también se les proporcionó un
conjunto adicional de herramientas, en forma de
listados y gráficas, para revisar datos a nivel de reporte
individual de fincas. Esta revisión identificó valores
extremos, grandes o pequeños, y patrones únicos de
distribución de datos que posiblemente fueron el
resultado de errores al reportar, codificar o procesar
los formularios. Se investigaron los posibles
problemas y, cuando fue necesario, se hicieron
correcciones y el formulario se editó de forma
interactiva nuevamente.

Prior to publication, tabulated totals were
reviewed by statisticians to identify
inconsistencies and potential coverage
problems. Comparisons were made with
previous census data, as well as other available
data. Tallies of all selected data items for
various sets of criteria which included, but
were not limited to, geographic levels, farm
types, and sales levels were reviewed. When
necessary, data inconsistencies were resolved.

Antes de la publicación, los estadísticos revisaron los
totales tabulados para identificar inconsistencias y
posibles problemas de cobertura. Se hicieron
comparaciones con datos de censos anteriores, así
como con otros datos disponibles. Se revisaron los
totales de datos seleccionados utilizando criterios que
incluyeron, entre otros, niveles geográficos, tipos de
finca y niveles de ventas. Cuando fue necesario, se
resolvieron las inconsistencias de los datos.

ACCOUNTING FOR
UNDERCOVERAGE, NONRESPONSE,
AND MISCLASSIFICATION

CONTABILIDAD POR SUBCUBRIMIENTO, NO
RESPUESTA Y CLASIFICACIÓN ERRONEA

Although much effort was expended making
the CML as complete as possible, the CML did
not include all farms in Puerto Rico, resulting
in list undercoverage. Some farm operators
who were on the CML did not respond to the
census, despite numerous attempts to contact
them. In addition, although each operation was
classified as a farm or a nonfarm based on the
responses to the census report form, some were
misclassified; that is, some nonfarms were
classified as farms and some farms were
classified as nonfarms. NASS’s goal was to
produce agricultural census totals for
publication level that were fully adjusted for

Aunque se invirtió mucho tiempo y esfuerzo para que
la CML estuviese lo más completa posible, la CML no
incluyó todas las fincas en Puerto Rico, lo que resultó
en la cobertura insuficiente de la lista. Algunos
agricultores que estaban en la CML no respondieron al
censo, a pesar de los numerosos intentos para tratar de
contactarlos. Además, aunque cada operación se
clasificó como finca o no finca dependiendo de las
respuestas al formulario censal, algunas fueron
clasificadas erróneamente; es decir, algunas
operaciones no agrícolas se clasificaron como fincas y
algunas fincas se clasificaron como operaciones no
agrícolas. El objetivo de NASS era publicar totales

NASS
implemented
capture-recapture
methodology to adjust for undercoverage,
nonresponse, and misclassification for the
2012 Census of Agriculture. This same
methodology was used for the 2017 Census of
Agriculture and implemented for the first time
for the 2018 Puerto Rico Census of
Agriculture. To implement capture-recapture
methods, two independent surveys were
required. The 2018 Puerto Rico Census of
Agriculture (based on the CML) and the 2018
Agricultural Coverage Evaluation Survey
(ACES) (based on the area frame) were those
two surveys. Historically, NASS has been
careful to maintain the independence of these
two surveys.

NASS implementó la metodología de capturarecaptura para ajustar el Censo de Agricultura de 2012
por la cobertura insuficiente, la falta de respuesta y la
clasificación errónea. Esta misma metodología se
utilizó para el Censo de Agricultura de 2017 y se
implementó por primera vez para el Censo de
Agricultura de Puerto Rico de 2018. Para implementar
los métodos de captura-recaptura, se requirieron dos
encuestas independientes. El Censo de Agricultura de
Puerto Rico de 2018 (basado en la CML) y la Encuesta
de Evaluación de Cobertura Agrícola de 2018 (ACES)
(basado en un marco de área) fueron esas dos
encuestas. Históricamente, NASS ha tenido cuidado
de mantener la independencia de estas dos encuestas.

An assumption was that the proportion of
ACES farms with a given set of characteristics
captured by the census was equal to the
proportion of Puerto Rico farms with those
same characteristics captured by the census.

La metodología se basa en que la proporción de fincas
de ACES con un conjunto dado de características que
son capturadas por el censo era igual a la proporción
de fincas en Puerto Rico con esas mismas
características que son capturadas por el censo.

For a farm to be identified as a farm, and thus
captured by the census it must be on the CML,
respond to the census report form and, based
on the census response, be classified as a farm.

Para que una finca se identifique como finca y, por lo
tanto, sea capturada por el censo, debe estar en la
CML, responder al formulario censal y, según la
respuesta al censo, clasificarse como una finca.

Two types of classification error can occur.
First, a farm can be misclassified as a nonfarm.
This type of misclassification is accounted for
in determining the probability of capture πC.
The second type of classification error results
when a response to the census is classified as a
farm operation when it does not meet the
definition of a farm. That is, some farms on the
CML may be misclassified from their census
report response and may be nonfarms. To
account for the misclassification of nonfarms
as farms, the probability of a farm on the
census being classified correctly must be
estimated; that is,
πCCFC = π(Farm | Farm on Census)
A - 12 Appendix A/Apêndice A

Se pueden producir dos tipos de errores de
clasificación. Primero, una finca puede clasificarse
erróneamente como no agrícola. Este tipo de
clasificación errónea se tiene en cuenta para
determinar la probabilidad de captura πC. El segundo
tipo de error de clasificación se produce cuando una
respuesta al censo es clasificada como una finca
cuando no cumple con la definición de finca. Es decir,
algunas fincas en la CML pueden clasificarse
erróneamente a partir de su respuesta al formulario
censal, pero luego se determina que no son
operaciones agrícolas. Para determinar la clasificación
errónea de las no fincas como fincas, se debe estimar
la probabilidad de que una finca en el censo se
clasifique correctamente; esto es,
πCCFC = π(Finca | Finca en el censo)

where CCFC represents Correct Census Farm
Classification.

donde CCFC representa la clasificación correcta de
finca en el censo.

To adjust for undercoverage, nonresponse, and
misclassification, each CML record classified
as a farm based on its response to the census
report form was given a weight of the ratio of
the estimated probability of correct
classification of a farm on the census and the
estimated probability of capture where the hat
symbol (^) denotes an estimate. To estimate
the number of farms with a given set of
characteristics, the weights of CML records
responding as farms on the census and having
that set of characteristics were summed. This
estimator is referred to as the capture-recapture
estimator (CR):

Para ajustar por la cobertura insuficiente, la falta de
respuesta y la clasificación errónea, cada registro en la
CML clasificado como una finca basado en su
respuesta al formulario censal recibió un peso que es
la proporción de la probabilidad estimada de
clasificación correcta de una finca en el censo y la
probabilidad estimada de captura donde el símbolo del
sombrero (^) denota un estimado. Para estimar el
número de fincas con un conjunto dado de
características, se sumaron los pesos de los registros
de CML que respondieron como fincas en el censo y
que tenían ese conjunto de características. Este
estimador se conoce como el estimador de capturarecaptura (CR):

where F is the set of all CML records classified
as farms based on their responses to the census
report form.

donde F es el conjunto de todos los registros CML
clasificados como fincas en función de sus respuestas
al formulario censal.

To estimate the capture and correct census
farm classification probabilities, a matched
dataset consisting of ACES records and census
records was created. Records in the 2018
ACES sample were matched to the 2018
census using probabilistic record linkage. The
CML records that matched with ACES tracts
represent the Census Sample.

Para estimar la captura y corregir las probabilidades de
clasificación de la finca del censo, se creó un conjunto
de datos coincidente que consta de registros ACES y
registros censales. Los registros en la muestra de
ACES de 2018 se combinaron con el Censo de
Agricultura de 2018 utilizando el enlace de registros
probabilísticos. Los registros CML que coincidieron
con los tractos ACES representan la Muestra del
Censo.

Note: The Census Sample is a subset of the
CML records and includes only those records
matching an ACES tract. Both agricultural and
non-agricultural tracts were included in the
matched dataset.

Nota: La Muestra del censo es un subconjunto de los
registros de CML e incluye solo aquellos registros que
coinciden con los tractos ACES. Los tractos agrícolas
y no agrícolas se incluyeron en el conjunto de datos
coincidente.

Capture Probabilities

Probabilidades de captura

Recall that, for a farm to be identified as a
farm, and thus captured, by the census, it must
be on the CML, respond to the census report
form and, based on the census response, be
classified as a farm. These adjustments are
dependent. Therefore, the probability of
capture πC may be written as

Recuerde que, para que una finca se identifique como
una finca y, por lo tanto, sea capturada por el censo,
debe estar en la CML, responder al formulario censal
y, según la respuesta al censo, clasificarse como una
finca. Estos ajustes son dependientes. Por lo tanto, la
probabilidad de captura πC puede escribirse como

πC = π(CML, Respondió, Finca en censo|Finca) =
π(CML|Finca)π(|CML,Finca)π(Finca en censo |CML,
Respondió, Finca)

The terms in the probability of capturing a
farm depend on the characteristics of the farm.
Using five-fold cross-validation, three logistic
models were developed based on the matched
dataset. The first model estimated the
probability of a farm being on the CML. The
second model estimated the probability that a
farm on the CML responded to the census
report form. The final model estimated the
probability that a farm that was on the CML
and responded to the census was identified as
a farm based on its response. The probability
that a farm is captured by the census of
agriculture is then the product of the three
conditional probabilities that a farm is on the
CML, responds, and is identified as a farm.

Los parámetros en la probabilidad de capturar una
finca dependen de las características de la finca.
Utilizando la validación cruzada de cinco iteraciones,
se desarrollaron tres modelos logísticos basados en el
conjunto de datos coincidente. El primer modelo
estimó la probabilidad de que una finca esté en la
CML. El segundo modelo estimó la probabilidad de
que una finca en la CML respondiera al formulario
censal. El modelo final estimó la probabilidad de que
una finca que estaba en la CML y respondiera al censo
se identificara como una finca en función de su
respuesta. La probabilidad de que una finca sea
capturada por el censo de la agricultura es el producto
de las tres probabilidades condicionales de que una
finca esté en la CML, responda y se identifique como
finca.

Misclassification

Clasificación errónea

An operation is misclassified if: (1) it meets the
definition of a farm, but is classified as a
nonfarm on the census or (2) it does not meet
the definition of a farm, but is classified as a
farm on the census. The first type of
misclassification is accounted for when
modeling the probability of capture. An
adjustment is still needed for the
misclassification of nonfarms as farms. As
with farm status and capture, the probability of
this misclassification depends on an
operation’s characteristics. A logistic model
was developed to estimate the nonprobability
on nonfarms classified as a farm on the CML.

Una operación se clasifica erróneamente si: (1) cumple
con la definición de finca, pero está clasificada como
no agrícola en el censo o (2) no cumple con la
definición de finca, pero está clasificada como finca en
el censo. El primer tipo de clasificación errónea se
estima al modelar la probabilidad de captura. Todavía
se necesita un ajuste para la clasificación errónea de
las no fincas como fincas. Al igual que la captura de la
finca, la probabilidad de esta clasificación errónea
depende de las características de la operación. Se
desarrolló un modelo logístico para estimar la no
probabilidad de no fincas clasificadas como fincas en
la CML.

CALIBRATION

CALIBRACIÓN

Each operation identified as a farm on the
CML was given a weight equal to the
probability of misclassification divided by the
probability of capture. This weight accounted
for undercoverage, nonresponse, and both
types of misclassification. These initial
weights were used to calculate the farm
operation coverage targets.

A cada operación identificada como finca en la CML
se le asignó un peso igual a la probabilidad de
clasificación errónea dividido por la probabilidad de
captura. Este peso explicaba la falta de cobertura, la
falta de respuesta, y ambos tipos de clasificación
errónea. Estos pesos iniciales se usaron para calcular
los objetivos de cobertura de las fincas.

For calibration there were six farm operation
targets; total number of farms, land in farms,
three breaks for farms by value of agricultural
sales, and female principal operators. These
Island-level estimates were general purpose in
that they did not provide any control over
expected levels of commodity production of
the individual farm operation. As a result of
this limitation, the procedures could have overadjusted or under-adjusted for commodity
production. To address this, a second set of
variables, known as commodity targets, was
added to the calibration algorithm. These
targets were commodity totals from
administrative sources (e.g. Puerto Rico’s
Department of Agriculture).

El proceso de calibración se basó en seis objetivos de
operación de la finca: número total de fincas, tierra en
fincas, tres agrupamientos de las fincas basado en el
valor de ventas agrícolas y principales operadoras.
Estas estimaciones a nivel de la isla tenían un
propósito general ya que no proporcionaban ningún
control sobre los niveles esperados de producción de
productos básicos de la operación de la finca
individual. Como resultado de esta limitación, los
procedimientos podrían haber sido sobre-ajustado o
sub-ajustado la producción de productos básicos. Para
mitigar esta limitación, se agregó un segundo conjunto
de variables, conocidas como objetivos de productos
básicos, al algoritmo de calibración. Estos objetivos
fueron los totales de productos proveídos por fuentes
administrativas (por ejemplo, el Departamento de
Agricultura de Puerto Rico).

The introduction of these commodity coverage
targets strengthened the overall adjustment
procedure by ensuring that major commodity
totals remained within reasonable bounds of
established benchmarks.

La introducción de estos objetivos de cobertura de
productos básicos fortaleció el procedimiento de
ajuste ya que garantizaron que los principales totales
de productos permanecieran dentro de los límites
razonables de los puntos de referencia establecidos.

The
calibration
algorithm
addressed
commodity coverage. The algorithm was
controlled by the 6 Island-level farm operation
coverage targets and 3 Island-level commodity
coverage targets. Because calibration targets
are estimates subject to uncertainty, NASS
allowed some tolerance in the determination of
the adjusted weights. Rather than forcing the
total for each calibration variable computed
using the adjusted weights to equal a specific
amount, NASS allowed the estimated total to
fall within a tolerance range.

El algoritmo de calibración mitigó la cobertura de
productos básicos. El algoritmo fue controlado por los
6 objetivos de cobertura de operación de finca a nivel
de isla y 3 objetivos de cobertura de productos básicos
a nivel de la isla. Como los objetivos de calibración
son estimaciones sujetas a incertidumbre, NASS
permitió cierta tolerancia en la determinación de los
pesos ajustados. En lugar de forzar el total para cada
variable de calibración calculada usando los pesos
ajustados para igualar una cantidad específica, NASS
permitió que el total estimado cayera dentro de un
rango de tolerancia.

Tolerance ranges for the farm operation
coverage targets were determined differently
from the commodity targets. The tolerance
range for the six Island-level farm operation
coverage targets was the estimated Island total
for the variable plus or minus one standard
error of the capture-recapture estimate.
Commodity coverage targets with acceptable
ranges were established based on the
administrative source for the Island. Ranges
were not necessarily symmetric around the
target value.

Los rangos de tolerancia para los objetivos de
cobertura de operación de la finca se determinaron de
manera diferente a los objetivos de productos básicos.
El rango de tolerancia para los objetivos de cobertura
de operación de la finca a nivel de la isla fue el total
estimado de la isla para la variable más o menos un
error estándar del estimado de captura-recaptura. Se
establecieron objetivos de cobertura de productos
básicos con rangos aceptables basados en la fuente
administrativa de la isla. Los rangos no eran
necesariamente simétricos alrededor del valor
objetivo.

To ensure that all subdomains for which NASS
publishes summed to their grand total, integer
weights were produced by a discrete
calibration algorithm. This eliminated the need
for rounding individual cell values and ensured
that marginal totals always added correctly to
the grand total. If a weight was initially not in
the interval [1,6], it was trimmed so that it was
in that interval. That is, adjusted weights less
than 1 were set to 1, and those greater than 6
were set to 6. The remaining non-integer
weights were then rounded sequentially to
reduce the distance of the estimated totals from
the targets.

Para garantizar que todos los subdominios para los que
publica NASS se sumen a su gran total, los pesos
enteros se produjeron mediante un algoritmo de
calibración discreto. Esto eliminó la necesidad de
redondear los valores de las celdas individuales y
aseguró que los totales marginales siempre se
agregaran correctamente al total general. Si un peso no
estaba inicialmente en el intervalo [1,6], se recortó
para que estuviera en ese intervalo. Es decir, los pesos
ajustados menores de 1 se establecieron en 1, y los
mayores de 6 se establecieron en 6. Los pesos no
enteros restantes se redondearon secuencialmente para
reducir la distancia de los totales estimados a los
objetivos.

Calibration adjustments began with the
computation of a priority index for each
record. The priority index was the absolute
value of the gradient of the relative error
associated with increasing or decreasing a
record’s weight by one. The record with the
highest priority index was then selected as a
candidate to increase or decrease its weight by
one to reduce the cumulative distance from the
targets as measured by the relative error. If the
new value produced an improvement and
satisfied the range restrictions, the weight was
updated and new priorities were assigned;
otherwise, the record with the next highest
priority index was processed. This process was
iteratively performed until convergence was
attained. Because census data collection was
assumed to be complete for very large and
unique farms, their weights were controlled to
1 during the calibration adjustment process.
For all other farms, the final census record
weights were forced to be an integer number in
the interval [1, 6]. The calibration process
considered all targets simultaneously through
the priority index. Although calibration was
seldom not able to adjust weights so that all
Island-level targets were met, all targets were
brought collectively as close to the targets as
possible.

Los ajustes de calibración comenzaron con el cálculo
de un índice de prioridad para cada registro. El índice
de prioridad era el valor absoluto del gradiente del
error relativo asociado con aumentar o disminuir el
peso de un registro en uno. El registro con el índice de
mayor prioridad se seleccionó como candidato para
aumentar o disminuir su peso en uno para reducir la
distancia acumulativa de los objetivos según lo
medido por el error relativo. Si el nuevo valor producía
una mejora y satisfacía las restricciones de rango, el
peso se actualizaba y se asignaban nuevas prioridades.
De lo contrario, se procesó el registro con el siguiente
índice de mayor prioridad. Este proceso se realizó de
forma iterativa hasta que se logró la convergencia.
Debido a que se asumió que la recopilación de datos
del censo estaba completa para fincas muy grandes y
únicas, sus pesos se controlaron a 1 durante el proceso
de ajuste de calibración. Para todas las otras fincas, los
pesos finales del registro del censo se vieron obligados
a ser un número entero en el intervalo [1, 6]. El proceso

DISCLOSURE REVIEW

REVISIÓN DE DIVULGACIÓN

After tabulation and review of the aggregates,
a comprehensive disclosure review will be
conducted. NASS is obligated to withhold,
under Title 7, U.S. Code, any total that would
reveal an individual’s information or allow it
to be closely estimated by the public. Cell
suppression will be used to protect the cells
that are determined to be sensitive to a
disclosure of information. Farm counts are not
considered sensitive and are not subject to
disclosure.

Después de la tabulación y revisión de los agregados,
se realizará una revisión exhaustiva de la divulgación.
Conforme al Título 7, Código de los EE. UU., NASS
está obligado a retener cualquier total que revele la
información de un individuo o permita que el público
lo pueda calcular. La supresión de celda se utilizará
para proteger las celdas que se consideran sensibles a
la divulgación de información. El número de fincas no
se considera información sensitiva y no está sujeto a
divulgación.

Based on agency standards, a data disclosure
risk is determined to be present if a particular
data cell being considered for publication
violates either one of two criteria. First, the
threshold rule is violated if the estimated
number of farms in a data cell is less than three.
For example, if the estimate of the number of
farms producing hogs in a region is equal to
exactly one farm, NASS could not publish the
regional total for hog inventory without
disclosing the reporting farm’s information.
Second, the dominance rule fails if the
distribution of the data within the cell allowed
a data user to estimate any respondent’s data
too closely. For example, if many farmers
produce hogs in a region and some of them
were large enough to dominate the cell total,
NASS could not publish the regional total for
hog inventory without risking disclosing an
individual respondent’s data. In both of these
situations, the data would be suppressed and a
“(D)” is placed in the cell in the publication
table. These data cells are referred to as
primary suppressions.

Según los estándares de la agencia, se determina que
existe un riesgo de divulgación de datos si una celda
de datos que se considera para publicación viola uno
de dos criterios. Primero, se infringe la regla de umbral
si el número estimado de fincas en una celda de datos
es menor de tres. Por ejemplo, si la estimación del
número de fincas que producen cerdos en una región
es exactamente igual a una finca, NASS no podría
publicar el inventario de cerdos para el total de la
región sin revelar la información de la finca que
informa. En segundo lugar, se infringe la regla de
dominancia cuando la distribución de los datos dentro
de unacelda permiten a un usuario de datos estimar los
datos de cualquier encuestado con precisión. Por
ejemplo, si muchos agricultores producen cerdos en
una región y algunos de ellos son lo suficientemente
grandes como para dominar el total de la celda, NASS
no puede publicar el total regional para el inventario
de cerdos sin arriesgarse a revelar los datos de un
encuestado individual. En ambas situaciones, los datos
se suprimirían y se colocaría una "(D)" en la celda en
la tabla de publicación. Estas celdas de datos se
denominan supresiones primarias.

Since most items will be summed to marginal
totals, primary suppressions within these
summation relationships are protected by
ensuring that there are additional suppressions
within the linear relationship that provide
adequate protection for the primary. A
detailed computer routine selects additional
data cells for suppression to ensure all primary
suppressions are properly protected in all
linear relationships in all tables. These data
cells are referred to as complementary
suppressions. These cells are not themselves

Dado que la mayoría de los artículos se sumarán a
totales marginales, las supresiones primarias dentro de
estas relaciones de suma se protegen asegurando que
haya supresiones adicionales dentro de la relación
lineal que brinden protección adecuada para la
primaria. Una rutina informática detallada selecciona
celdas de datos adicionales para supresión que
garantizan que todas las supresiones primarias estén
protegidas adecuadamente en todas las relaciones
lineales en todas las tablas. Estas celdas de datos se
denominan supresiones complementarias. Estas celdas
no son sensibles a una divulgación, pero se suprimen

indicate a complementary suppression.

para proteger otras supresiones primarias. Se coloca
una"(D)" en la celda de la tabla de publicación para
indicar una supresión complementaria.

NASS analysts will review all complementary
suppressions to ensure no cells are withheld
that are vital to the data users. In instances
where complementary suppressions are
deemed critically important to the Island,
analysts can request an override and a different
complement can be chosen.

Los analistas del NASS revisarán todas las supresiones
complementarias para garantizar que no se retengan
celdas que sean vitales para los usuarios de datos. En
los casos en que las supresiones complementarias se
consideran críticamente importantes para la Isla, los
analistas pueden solicitar una anulación y se puede
elegir un complemento diferente.

CENSUS QUALITY

CALIDAD DEL CENSO

The purpose of the census of agriculture is to
account for “any place from which $500 or
more of agricultural products were produced
and sold, or normally would have been sold,
during the census year.” To accomplish this,
NASS develops a CML that contains
identifying information for operations that
have an indication of meeting the census
definition, develops procedures to collect
agricultural information from those records,
establishes criteria for analyst review of the
data, creates computer routines to correct or
complete the requested information, and
provides census estimates of the characteristics
of farms and farm operators with associated
measures of uncertainty.

El propósito del censo de agricultura es dar cuenta de
"cualquier lugar desde el cual se produjeron y
vendieron $500 o más de productos agrícolas, o
normalmente se habrían vendido, durante el año del
censo". Para lograr esto, NASS desarrolla la CML que
contiene información de identificación para
operaciones que tienen una indicación de cumplir con
la definición del censo, desarrolla procedimientos para
recopilar información agrícola de esos registros,
establece criterios para la revisión de los datos por
parte de analistas, crea rutinas informáticas para
corregir o completar la información solicitada, y
proporciona estimaciones del censo de las
características de las fincas y los operadores de fincas
con medidas de incertidumbre asociadas.

It is not likely that either the CML includes all
operations that meet the definition of a farm or
that all those that do meet the definition of a
farm respond to the census inquiry. The goal is
to publish data with a high level of quality. The
quality of a census may be measured in many
ways. One of the first indicators used is a
measure of the response to the census data
collection as it has generally been thought that
a high response rate indicates more complete
coverage of the population of interest. This is
a valid assumption if the enumeration list, the
CML here, has complete coverage of the
population of interest. In the case of the census
of agriculture, the definition requiring advance
knowledge of sales makes achieving a high
level of coverage difficult. To ensure that the
census of agriculture is as complete as
possible, records are included that might not

No es probable que la CML incluya todas las
operaciones que cumplan con la definición de finca o
que todas las que cumplan con la definición de finca
respondan a la consulta del censo. El objetivo es
publicar datos con un alto nivel de calidad. La calidad
de un censo puede medirse de muchas maneras. Uno
de los primeros indicadores utilizados es una medida
de la respuesta a la recopilación de datos del censo, ya
que generalmente se ha pensado que una tasa de
respuesta alta indica una cobertura más completa de la
población de interés. Esta es una suposición válida si
la lista de enumeración, la CML, en este caso, tiene
una cobertura completa de la población de interés. En
el caso del censo de agricultura, la definición que
requiere un conocimiento anticipado de las ventas
dificulta el logro de un alto nivel de cobertura. Para
garantizar que el censo de la agricultura sea lo más
completo posible, se incluyen registros que podrían no
cumplir con la definición de finca. Un segundo

meet the definition of a farm. A second
indicator of quality then is the coverage of the
farm population by the CML. Other indicators
of quality relate to the accuracy and
completeness of the data, and the validity of
the procedures used in processing the data.

indicador de calidad es la cobertura de la población
agrícola por parte de la CML. Otros indicadores de
calidad se relacionan con la precisión e integridad de
los datos, y la validez de los procedimientos utilizados
en el procesamiento de los datos.

In some cases, NASS was able to produce
measures of quality – such as the response rate
to the data collection, the coverage of the
census mail list, and the variability of the final
adjusted estimates. In other cases, measures
were not produced but descriptions of
procedures that NASS used to reduce errors
from the procedures were subsequently
provided.

En algunos casos, NASS pudo producir medidas de
calidad, como la tasa de respuesta a la recopilación de
datos, la cobertura de la lista de correo del censo y la
variabilidad de las estimaciones finales ajustadas. En
otros casos, no se produjeron medidas, pero
posteriormente se proporcionaron descripciones de los
procedimientos que NASS utilizó para reducir los
errores de los procedimientos.

Census Response Rate

Tasa de respuesta al censo

The response rate is one indicator of the quality
of a data collection. It is generally assumed that
if a response rate is close to a full participation
level of 100 percent, the potential for
nonresponse bias is small, although this is not
always true. The response rate for the 2018
Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture CML was
29.1 percent, as compared with the 2012
Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture’s response
rate of 55.5 percent.

La tasa de respuesta es un indicador de la calidad de
una recopilación de datos. En general, se supone que
si una tasa de respuesta está cerca de un nivel de
participación total del 100 por ciento, el potencial de
sesgo de no respuesta es pequeño, aunque esto no
siempre es cierto. La tasa de respuesta para la CML del
Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico de 2018 fue del
29.1 por ciento, en comparación con la tasa de
respuesta del Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico de
2012 del 55.5 por ciento.

The 2018 Puerto Rico Census of Agriculture’s
response rate used the fourth response rate
formula (RR4) from the American Association
of Public Opinion Research’s Response Rate
Standard Definitions manual:

e(U) = se estima que el número de operaciones de

Records were classified into the above
variables based on the combination of their
active status (AS) codes, in-scope status, and
replication status. Active status refers to the
eligibility status of records for selection on the
CML.

Los registros se clasificaron en las variables anteriores
en función de la combinación de sus códigos de estado
activo (AS, por us siglas en inglés), estado de alcance
y estado de replicación. El estado activo se refiere al
estado de elegibilidad de los registros para la selección
en la CML.

Certain active status classifications indicated
records of unknown agricultural status. These
classifications included records to be removed
from the CML but had data from outside
sources indicating agricultural activity, new
records from outside data sources, and records
with FSA or CRP on operations that are not
owned by the principal operator. These records
were stratified (grouped) based on their
probabilities of being in-scope had they
responded. The estimated number of in-scope
nonrespondents was calculated for the hth
stratum (group) by the following formula:

Ciertas clasificaciones de estado activo indicaron
registros de estado agrícola desconocido. Estas
clasificaciones incluían registros que se eliminarían de
la CML, pero tenían datos de fuentes externas que

MEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS
PROCESS

ERRORES MEDIDOS EN EL PROCESO DE
CENSO

Uncertainty is introduced into the data in
compiling the CML, in NASS’s data collection
procedures, in data editing and processing, and
in compiling the final data. Additionally,
NASS uses statistical procedures to both
measure errors in the various processes and in
making adjustments for those errors in the final
data. One example is the statistical process
used to account for undercoverage,
nonresponse of farms on the CML, and
misclassification of responses to the census.
The basis of the undercoverage adjustment is
the capture-recapture procedure that uses the
ACES. The largest contributors to error in the
census estimates are due to the adjustments for
nonresponse,
undercoverage,
misclassification, and calibration.

Se introduce incertidumbre en los datos al compilar la
CML, en los procedimientos de recopilación de datos
de NASS, en la edición y procesamiento de datos, y en
la compilación de los datos finales. Además, NASS
utiliza procedimientos estadísticos tanto para medir
errores en los diversos procesos como para realizar
ajustes para esos errores en los datos finales. Un
ejemplo es el proceso estadístico utilizado para dar
cuenta de la cobertura insuficiente, la falta de
respuesta de las fincas en la CML, y la clasificación
errónea de las respuestas al censo. La base del ajuste
de cobertura insuficiente es el procedimiento de
captura-recaptura que utiliza el ACES. Los mayores
contribuyentes al error en las estimaciones del censo
se deben a los ajustes por falta de respuesta, cobertura
insuficiente, clasificación errónea, y calibración.

Variability in Census Estimates due to
Statistical Adjustment

Variabilidad en las estimaciones del censo
debido al ajuste estadístico

In conducting the 2018 Puerto Rico Census of
Agriculture, efforts were initiated to measure
error associated with the adjustments for farm
operations that were not on the CML, for farm
operations that were on the CML but did not
respond to the census report form, and for
farms and nonfarms that were misclassified as
nonfarms and farms, respectively, and for
calibration. These error measurements were
developed from the standard error of the
estimates at the Island and regional levels and
were expressed as coefficients of variation
(CVs) at the Island and regional levels.

Al realizar el Censo de Agricultura de Puerto Rico de
2018, se iniciaron esfuerzos para medir el error
asociado con los ajustes para las operaciones agrícolas
que no estaban en la CML, para las operaciones
agrícolas que estaban en la CML pero que no
respondieron al formulario censal, y para las fincas y
no fincas que fueron clasificadas erróneamente como
no fincas y fincas, respectivamente, y para calibración.
Estas mediciones de error se desarrollaron a partir del
error estándar de las estimaciones a nivel de la isla y
regional y se expresaron como coeficientes de
variación (CV) a nivel de la isla y regional.

The standard error of an estimate is an estimate
of the standard deviation of the sampling
distribution of the estimator. Standard errors
were computed using an approach based on a
combination of group jackknife and bootstrap
methodologies. To conduct the jackknifing, k
= 10 mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups
of ACES segments were formed. The groups
were selected using a stratified random design
so that each group reflected the survey design,

El error estándar de una estimación una estimación de
la desviación estándar derivada de una muestra
particular usada para computar el estimador. Los
errores estándar se calcularon utilizando un enfoque
basado en una combinación de metodologías grupales
de “jackknife” y “bootstrap”. Para llevar a cabo el
método de jackknife, se formaron k = 10 grupos
mutuamente excluyentes y exhaustivos de segmentos
ACES. Los grupos se seleccionaron usando un diseño
aleatorio estratificado para que cada grupo reflejara el

including municipio and agricultural strata
within a municipio. The weight of record i in
jackknife group j is CRi(j) for j = 1, 2, …, k.
Based on these weights, a group jackknife
estimator to estimate the variance accounts for
the uncertainty associated with modeling the
capture-recapture probabilities. To account for
the additional uncertainty due to calibration,
the weights within each jackknife group are
transformed through bootstrap simulation;
these transformed weights are called
calibration-adjusted-jackknife weights. The
full dataset, which is composed of the records
of all responding farms on the CML, is
calibrated as described in the Calibration
section, and the final calibration-adjusted
weight of record i is denoted by ŵi. For each
record i in jackknife group k, the calibrationadjusted-jackknife weights of that record can
be approximated as wi(j) = ai(j)CRi(j) where ai(j)
~ N (1, (ŵi - 1) / ŵi). The bootstrap process
simulated the value of the adjustment ai(j) for
each record on the CML to obtain the
calibration-adjusted-jackknife weights. For a
given data item, such as the number of farms,
the estimate T(j) was computed at the specified
geographical level, such as Island or region,
using the (k - 1) groups remaining after
deleting the calibration-adjusted jackknife
group j. Estimates of the variance and standard
error associated with the estimator Ti are then,
respectively,

diseño de la encuesta, incluidos los estratos
municipales y agrícolas dentro de un municipio. El
peso del registro i en el grupo de jackknife j es CRi(j)
donde j = 1, 2, ..., k. Basado en estos pesos, un
estimador del grupo jackknife para estimar la varianza
explicaría la incertidumbre asociada con el modelado
de las probabilidades de captura-recaptura. Para tener
en cuenta la incertidumbre adicional debido a la
calibración, los pesos dentro de cada grupo jackknife
se transformaron a través una simulación de boostrap.
Estos pesos transformados se denominan pesos de
jackknife con ajustes de calibración. El conjunto de
datos completo, que se compone de los registros de
todas las fincas que responden en la CML, se calibra
como se describe en la sección Calibración, y el peso
final del registro ajustado por calibración i se denota
por ŵi. Para cada registro i en el grupo de jackknife k,
los pesos de jackknife con ajustes de calibración de ese
registro se pueden aproximar como wi(j) = ai(j)CRi(j)
donde ai(j) ~ N (1, (ŵi - 1) / ŵi). El proceso bootstrap
simuló el valor del ajuste ai(j) para cada registro en la
CML para obtener los pesos de jackknife con ajustes
de calibración. Para un elemento de datos específicos,
como el número de fincas, la estimación T(j) se calculó
en el nivel geográfico especificado, como isla o
municipio, utilizando los grupos (k - 1) restantes
después de eliminar jackknife con ajustes de
calibración grupo j. Las estimaciones de la varianza y
el error estándar asociado con el estimador Ti son
entonces, respectivamente,



l =1 k 

Increasing k improves the estimate of the
variance but, as k increases, the observations
become too sparse to reflect the survey design
and to provide island-wide coverage. Ten (10)
calibration-adjusted jackknife groups were
used to provide standard errors for island and
regional estimates. For the estimate of the
number of farms with a given set of
characteristics, only the CML records with
those characteristics were used to obtain the
overall estimate as well as the estimates from
each calibration-adjusted jackknife group.

Cuando se incrementa k mejora la estimación de la
varianza, pero a medida que aumenta k, las
observaciones se vuelven demasiado escasas para
reflejar el diseño de la encuesta y para proporcionar
cobertura en toda la isla. Se utilizaron diez (10) grupos
de jackknife con ajustes de calibración para
proporcionar errores estándar para las estimaciones
regionales e insulares. Para la estimación del número
de fincas con un conjunto dado de características, solo
se usaron los registros de CML con esas características
para obtener la estimación general, así como las
estimaciones de cada grupo jackknife con ajustes de
calibración.

Note that the calibrated jackknife groups are
only constructed once, and different subsets of
the records are used to compute estimates and
standard errors for the data items.

Tenga en cuenta que los grupos jackknife calibrados
solo se construyeron una vez, y se usaron diferentes
subconjuntos de los registros para calcular las
estimaciones y los errores estándar para los elementos

The CV is a measure of the relative amount of
error associated with the sample estimate:

El CV es una medida de la cantidad relativa de error
asociado con la estimación de la muestra:

CVi =

SE (Ti )
100%
Ti

CVi =

SE (Ti )
100%
Ti

where SE(Ti) is the standard error of the
capture recapture estimate for data item i. This
relative measure allows the reliability of a
range of estimates to be compared. For
example, the standard error is often larger for
large population estimates than for small
population estimates, but the large population
estimates may have a smaller CV, indicating a
more reliable estimate.

donde SE(Ti) es el error estándar de la estimación de
recuperación de captura para el elemento de datos i.
Esta medida relativa permite comparar la fiabilidad de
un rango de estimaciones. Por ejemplo, el error
estándar es a menudo mayor para estimaciones de
población grande que para estimaciones de población
pequeña, pero las estimaciones de población grande
pueden tener un CV más pequeño, lo que indica una
estimación más confiable.

NONMEASURED ERRORS IN THE
CENSUS PROCESS

ERRORES NO MEDIDOS EN EL PROCESO
DE CENSO

As noted in the previous section, sampling
errors can be introduced from the coverage,
nonresponse and misclassification adjustment
procedures. This error is measurable.
However, nonsampling errors are imbedded in
the census process that cannot be directly
measured as part of the design of the census
but must be contained to ensure an accurate
count. Extensive efforts were made to compile
a complete and accurate mail list for the
census, to elicit response to the census, to
design an understandable report form with
clear instructions, to minimize processing
errors through the use of quality control
measures, to reduce matching error associated
with the capture-recapture estimation process,
and to minimize error associated with
identification of a respondent as a farm
operation (referred to as classification error).
The weight adjustment and tabulation
processes recognize the presence of

Como se señaló en la sección anterior, se pueden
introducir errores de muestreo a partir de los
procedimientos de ajuste de cobertura, falta de
respuesta y clasificación errónea. Este error es
medible. Sin embargo, los errores ajenos al muestreo
están integrados en el proceso del censo que no pueden
medirse directamente como parte del diseño del censo,
sino que deben incluirse para garantizar un recuento
preciso. Se hicieron grandes esfuerzos para compilar
una lista de correo completa y precisa para el censo,
para obtener una respuesta al censo, para diseñar un
formulario censal comprensible con instrucciones
claras, para minimizar los errores de procesamiento
mediante el uso de medidas de control de calidad, para
reducir los errores de correspondencia asociados con
el proceso de estimación de captura-recaptura y para
minimizar el error asociado con la identificación de un
encuestado como una operación de finca (denominado
error de clasificación). Los procesos de ajuste de peso
y tabulación reconocen la presencia de errores que no
son de muestreo; sin embargo, se supone que estos

nonsampling errors; however, it is assumed
that these errors are small and that, in total, the
net effect is zero. In other words, the positive
errors cancel the negative errors.

errores son pequeños y que, en total, el efecto neto es
cero. En otras palabras, los errores positivos cancelan
los errores negativos.

Respondent and Enumerator Error

Error de encuestado y enumerador

Incorrect or incomplete responses to the census
report form or to the questions posed by an
enumerator can introduce error into the census
data. Steps were taken in the design and
execution of the census of agriculture to reduce
errors from respondent reporting. Poor
instructions and ambiguous definitions lead to
misreporting. Respondents may not remember
accurately, may estimate responses, or may
record an item in the wrong cell. To reduce
reporting and recording errors, the report form
was tested prior to the census using industry
accepted cognitive testing procedures.
Detailed instructions for completing the report
form were provided to each respondent.
Questions were phrased as clearly as possible
based on previous tests of the report form. In
addition, each respondent’s answers were
checked for completeness and consistency by
the complex edit and imputation system.

Las respuestas incorrectas o incompletas al formulario
censal o a las preguntas formuladas por un enumerador
pueden introducir errores en los datos del censo. Se
tomaron medidas en el diseño y la ejecución del censo
de agricultura para reducir estos errores. Las
instrucciones inadecuadas y las definiciones ambiguas
conducen a informes erróneos. Los encuestados
pueden no recordar con precisión, pueden estimar las
respuestas o pueden escribir una respuesta en el lugar
incorrecto. Para reducir los errores de respuesta y
registro, el formulario se probó antes del censo
utilizando procedimientos de prueba cognitiva
aceptados por la industria. Se proporcionaron
instrucciones detalladas para completar el formulario
a cada encuestado. Las preguntas fueron formuladas
de la manera más clara posible en base a pruebas
previas del formulario. Además, el complejo sistema
de edición e imputación verificó la integridad y
consistencia de las respuestas de cada encuestado.

Processing Error

Error de proceso

Processing of each census report form was
another potential source of nonsampling error.
All mail returns that included multiple reports,
respondent remarks, or that were marked out
of business and report forms with no reported
data were sent to an analyst for verification and
appropriate action. Integrity checks were
performed by the imaging system and data
transfer functions. Standard quality control
procedures were in place that required that
randomly selected batches of data keyed from
image to be re-entered by a different operator
to verify the work and evaluate key entry
operators. All systems and programs were
thoroughly tested before going on-line and
were monitored throughout the processing
period.

El procesamiento de cada formulario censal fue otra
fuente potencial de errores nomuestrales. Todas las
devoluciones de correo que incluían múltiples
informes, comentarios de los encuestados, o que se
marcaron fuera de negocio y los formularios sin datos
informados se enviaron a un analista para su
verificación y la acción adecuada. Los controles de
integridad fueron realizados por el sistema de
imágenes y las funciones de transferencia de datos. Se
implementaron procedimientos estándar de control de
calidad que requerían que grupos diferentes de datos
seleccionados al azar de la imagen fueran reingresados
por un operador diferente para verificar el trabajo y
evaluar los operadores clave de entrada. Todos los
sistemas y programas se probaron exhaustivamente
antes de conectarse y se monitorearon durante todo el
período de procesamiento.

Developing accurate processing methods is

arrangements under which farms are operated,
the continuing changes in the relationship of
operators to the farm operated, the expiration
of leases and the initiation or renewal of leases,
the problem of obtaining a complete list of
agriculture operations, the difficulty of
contacting and identifying some types of
contractor/contractee
relationships,
the
operator’s absence from the farm during the
data collection period, and the operator’s
opinion that part or all of the operation does
not qualify and should not be included in the
census. During data collection and processing
of the census, all operations underwent a
number of quality control checks to ensure
results were as accurate as possible.

se operan las fincas, los cambios continuos en la
relación de los agricultores con la finca operada, el
vencimiento/inicio o la renovación de los
arrendamientos, el problema de obtener una lista
completa de las operaciones agrícolas, la dificultad de
contactar e identificar algunos tipos de relaciones entre
contratante / contratista, la ausencia del agricultor de
la finca durante el período de recopilación de datos y
la opinión del agricultor de que parte o la totalidad de
la operación no califica y no debe ser incluida en el
censo. Durante la recopilación de datos y el
procesamiento del censo, todas las fincas se
sometieron a una serie de controles de calidad para
garantizar que los resultados fueran lo más precisos
posible.

Item Nonresponse

Partidas sin respuesta

All item nonresponse actions provide another
opportunity to introduce measurement errors.
Regardless of whether it was previously
reported data, administrative data, the nearest
neighbor algorithm, the fully conditional
specification method, or manually imputed by
an analyst, some risk exists that the imputed
value does not equal the actual value.
Previously reported and administrative data
were used only when they related to the census
reference period. A new nearest neighbor was
randomly selected for each incident to
eliminate the chance of a consistent bias.

Todas las acciones de no respuesta a nivel de partidas
brindan otra oportunidad para introducir errores de
medición. Independientemente de si fueron datos
previamente informados, datos administrativos, el
algoritmo vecino más cercano, el método de
especificación totalmente condicional, o imputado
manualmente por un analista, existe algún riesgo de
que el valor imputado no sea igual al valor real. Los
datos administrativos y de informes anteriores solo se
utilizaron cuando se relacionaban con el período de
referencia del censo. Se seleccionó al azar un nuevo
vecino más cercano para cada incidente para
eliminando así la posibilidad de un sesgo constante.

Record Matching Error

Error de Fusión o Enlace de Reportes

The process of building and expanding the
CML involves finding new list sources and
checking for names not on the list. An
automated processing system compared each
new name to the existing CML names and
“linked” like records for the purpose of
preventing duplication. New names with
strong links to a CML name were discarded
and those with no links were added as potential
farms. Names with weak links, possible
matches, were reviewed by staff to determine
whether the new name should be added.
Despite this thorough review, some new names
may have been erroneously added or deleted.
Additions could contribute to duplication
(overcoverage) whereas deletions could
contribute to undercoverage. As a result, some

El proceso de construir y expandir la CML implica
encontrar nuevas listas y buscar nombres que no estén
en la lista de NASS. Un sistema de procesamiento
automatizado comparó cada nuevo nombre con los
nombres existentes en la CML y los registros similares
"vinculados" con el fin de evitar la duplicación. Se
descartaron nuevos nombres con enlaces fuertes a un
nombre en la CML y aquellos sin enlaces se agregaron
como fincas potenciales. Los nombres con enlaces
débiles, posibles pareos, fueron revisados por el
personal para determinar si se debe agregar el nuevo
nombre a la CML. A pesar de esta revisión exhaustiva,
algunos nombres nuevos pueden haberse agregado o
eliminado por error. Las inclusiones podrían contribuir
a la duplicación (sobrecobertura) mientras que las
eliminaciones podrían contribuir a la subcobertura.
Como resultado, algunos nombres recibieron más de

names received more than one report form, and
some farm operators did not receive a report
form.

un formulario, y algunos operadores de fincas no
recibieron un formulario.

Another opportunity for error came when
comparing Agricultural Coverage Evaluation
Survey (ACES) tract operator names to the
CML. Area operators whose names were not
found on the CML were part of the measure of
list incompleteness, or NML. Mistakes in
determining overlap status resulted in
overcounts (including a tract whose operator
was on the CML) or undercounts (excluding a
tract whose operator was not on the CML). All
tracts determined to not be on the list were
checked to eliminate, or at least minimize, any
error.
In order to attempt to identify
duplication, all respondents who received
multiple report forms were instructed to
complete one form and return all other forms
so duplication could be removed.

Otra oportunidad de error surgió al comparar los
nombres de los agricultores de tractos agrícolas en la
Encuesta de Evaluación de la Cobertura Agrícola
(ACES) con la CML. Los agricultores en la muestra
de área cuyos nombres no se encontraron en la CML
formaban parte de la medida de cuan incompleta es la
lista o NML. Los errores en la determinación del
estado de superposición dieron como resultado un
conteo excesivo (incluido un tracto cuyo operador
estaba en la CML) o un conteo bajo (excluyendo un
tracto cuyo operador no estaba en la CML). Se
verificaron todos los tractos que se determinó que no
estaban en la lista para eliminar, o al menos minimizar,
cualquier error. Con el fin de intentar identificar la
duplicación, se ordenó a todos los encuestados que
recibieron múltiples formularios censales que
completaran un solo formulario y devolvieran todos
los demás formularios para poder eliminar la
duplicación.

Records in the 2018 ACES were matched to
the 2018 census using probabilistic record
linkage. The uncertainty associated with this
estimate, with the exception of model
uncertainty, was accounted for, but errors not
found through this process were not.

Los registros en el ACES de 2018 se combinaron con
el censo de 2018 utilizando el enlace de registros
probabilísticos. La incertidumbre asociada con esta
estimación, con la excepción de la incertidumbre del
modelo, se tuvo en cuenta, pero los errores no
encontrados a través de este proceso no lo fueron.

DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS
REPORT FORM

DESARROLLO DEL FORMULARIO CENSAL

Prior to each agriculture census, the content of
all census report forms is reviewed to eliminate
inquiries no longer needed and to identify new
items necessary to meet user needs, so that
published data better describes the agricultural
situation in the Nation. Data requests are
solicited from farm organizations, land-grant
colleges and universities, State and Federal
agencies, State departments of agriculture,
agribusinesses, and other users. Each user is
asked to identify and justify its specific data
needs.

Antes de cada censo agrícola, se revisa el contenido
del formulario censal para eliminar aquellas
preguntas innecesarias e identificar nuevas partidas
que satisfagan las necesidades de los usuarios, e
incluir preguntas que describan mejor la situación
agrícola en la nación. Se pidió a las organizaciones
agrícolas, colegios y universidades, agencias
federales y estatales, departamentos de agricultura de
los estados, negocios agrícolas y demás usuarios que
presentaran sus necesidades de datos. A cada usuario
se le solicitó que identificara y justificara su petición

The report form for the 2018 Census of
Agriculture for Puerto Rico was prepared by
NASS, in cooperation with an inter-agency
working group that include members of the
Puerto Rico Institute of Statistics, the Planning
Board, the Puerto Rico Department of
Agriculture, the College of Agricultural
Sciences at the University of Puerto Rico,
Mayaguez Campus (RUM), the Extension
Service, and other data users. While similar to
the report form used in 2012, changes were
made to reflect changes in Puerto Rico's
agriculture, to make the report form more
similar in scope to the US report form and to
make it easier to complete. A sample copy of
the report form and the instruction sheet are
included in this appendix.

El formulario para el Censo de Agricultura de Puerto
Rico de 2018 fue preparado por NASS, en
cooperación con el comité interagencial integrado por
miembros del Instituto de Estadística de Puerto Rico,
la Junta de Planificación, el Departamento de
Agricultura de Puerto Rico, el Colegio de Ciencias
Agrícolas de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Recinto
Universitario de Mayagüez (RUM), el Servicio de
Extensión Agrícola y otras entidades agrícolas.
Aunque similar al formulario utilizado en el 2012,
algunos cambios fueron necesarios para reflejar los
cambios en la agricultura de Puerto Rico, mantener
comparabilidad con el formulario usado en los EE.
UU. y para facilitar la forma de completarlo. En este
apéndice se incluyen copias del formulario (en
español y en inglés), y la hoja de instrucciones.

as of December 31, 2018, the number of farms
for the item cattle and calves would be 300.
This definition is consistent with the term
farms used since 1959. Where applicable, if
the respondent did not report items that apply
to all farms, e.g., place of residence of the

Fincas. La información para “fincas” es el número de
fincas (o agricultores) que reportan una partida
específica. Por ejemplo, si una región contenía 1,200
fincas, pero solo 300 fincas tenían ganado vacuno y
terneros al 31 de diciembre de 2018, el número de
“fincas” para la partida “ganado vacuno y terneros”
sería 300. Esta definición es consistente con el
término “fincas” usado desde 1959. Cuando la
persona que llenó el formulario no reportó
información en las partidas que aplican a todas las

This refers to the number of hired workers
employed on the farm during the census year
and to the number of agregado and
sharecropper families living on the farm
December 31, 2018. Data were also obtained
on labor costs. Employees of labor contractors
and contract labor were excluded.

Esta partida se refiere al número de trabajadores
remunerados empleados en la finca durante el año del
censo y al número de familias de agregados y
aparceros que vivían en la finca al 31 de diciembre de
2018. Además, se obtuvieron datos sobre los costos
laborales. Se excluyó a empleados de contratistas de
trabajo y mano de obra contratada.

An agregado is a member of a family who lives
on a farm not operated by a family member. An
agregado may or may not be an employee of
the farm operator and may or may not produce
agricultural products. An agregado may own,
rent, or use rent free the house in which he/she
lives. The land operated by, livestock
belonging to, and the products marketed by an
agregado family were to be included with
those of the farm operator in charge of the
place.

Un agregado es un miembro de una familia que vive
en una finca que no es manejada por ningún miembro
de la familia. Un agregado puede o no ser un
empleado del operador de la finca y puede o no
producir producto agrícola alguno. Un agregado
puede ser propietario, alquilar o utilizar gratuitamente
la casa en donde vive. El terreno manejado, los
animales pertenecientes a, y los productos vendidos
por el agregado deben incluirse juntos con los del
operador de la finca que estaba encargado del lugar.

A sharecropper (aparcero) is a person who
works land under a definite arrangement with
a farm operator, receiving a part of the crops,
livestock, or livestock products in return for
his/her labor and other contributions. Since it
is possible for the same person to work as a
sharecropper on more than one farm, census
figures may overstate the number. Likewise, a
person might live as an agregado on one farm
and work as a sharecropper on another and,
therefore, be counted as both. Land, crops, and
livestock involved in such share arrangements
were included with those of the farm operator
in charge of the place.

Un aparcero es una persona que trabaja el terreno bajo
un acuerdo definido con el operador de la finca,
recibiendo parte de la cosecha, animales, o sus
productos derivados, como pago por su mano de obra
y otras aportaciones. Puede ser posible que la misma
persona trabaje como aparcero en más de una finca y
las cifras del censo pueden ser sobreestimadas. Del
mismo modo, una persona puede vivir como un
agregado en una finca y trabajar como aparcero en
otra y, por lo tanto, se puede contar como ambos.
Terrenos, cosechas y animales de fincas envueltos en
tal convenio se incluyeron con los del operador de la
finca encargado del lugar.

Hydroponic crops. The data provided for
hydroponic crops are included with data for
those same crops listed in the crop tables. As
an example, the number farms harvesting
tomatoes in Table 15 includes all farms
harvesting tomatoes regardless of the method
of cultivation.

Cultivos hidropónicos. Los datos provistos para
cultivos hidropónicos se incluyen con los datos para
esos mismos cultivos en las tablas de los cultivos.
Como ejemplo, el número de fincas que cosechan
tomates en la Tabla 15 incluye todas las fincas que
cosechan tomates, independientemente del método de
cultivo.

Land area. The approximate land area of
Puerto Rico is 2.3 million cuerdas. A cuerda is
equivalent to 0.9712 of an acre or 0.3930 of a
hectare. A centesimo is one-hundredth of a
cuerda.

Área de terrenos. El área aproximada de la isla de
Puerto Rico es de 2.3 millones de cuerdas. Una cuerda
equivale a 0.9712 de un acre o 0.3930 de una
hectárea. Un centésimo es la centésima parte de una
cuerda.

Land in farms. The area designated as land in
farms consists primarily of agricultural land
used for crops, pasture, and grazing. It also
includes woodland and wasteland not
harvested or used for pasture or grazing,
provided it was part of the farm operator's total
operation. Woodland or wasteland held for
nonagricultural purposes was excluded. Land
in farms is an operating unit concept and
includes land owned and operated as well as
land rented from others. Land used rent free
was to be reported as land rented from others.

Terrenos en fincas. El área designada como
“Terrenos en fincas” consiste primordialmente de
terrenos agrícola utilizados para siembras, pasto, o
pastoreo. Además, incluye montes o terrenos baldíos
que no se están cultivando o utilizando para pasto o
pastoreo, pero que eran parte integral de la finca. Se
excluyeron montes y terrenos baldíos mantenidos
para otros propósitos que no fueran agrícolas. El
terreno en fincas es un concepto de unidad
operacional e incluye terrenos que perteneces y son
operados por sus dueños, y terrenos alquilados a otras
personas. El terreno que se usaba sin pago de renta
alguna se tenía que reportar como terreno arrendado
de otras personas.

Land owned (full and part owners). This
includes all land that the operator and spouse
owned, or both held under title, purchase
contract or mortgage, or as heir or trustee of an
undivided estate at the time of the
enumeration.

Terrenos propios (dueños totales o parciales). Esta
partida incluye todos los terrenos que poseía el
agricultor, y su cónyuge, o que tenían bajo título,
contrato de compra o hipoteca, o como herederos o
fideicomisarios de una propiedad que no estaba
dividida al momento de la enumeración.

Land rented from others (tenants). This
includes all land that the operator rented or
leased from others or used rent free.

Terrenos arrendados de otros (inquilinos). Esta
partida incluye todos los terrenos que el agricultor
alquilaba o arrendaba de otros o utilizaba libre de
pago de alquiler.

Land rented to others. This includes all land
rented or leased to others for cash or a share of
the crops or livestock, and land rented from
others and then subleased to others.

Terrenos arrendados a otros. Esta partida incluye
todo terreno que el agricultor alquilaba o arrendaba a
otros por dinero en efectivo o por parte de la cosecha
o de los animales, y terreno arrendado o alquilado de
otros y luego subarrendado.

Land in two or more municipios. An
individual farm was counted in only one
municipio even if the land was located in two
or more municipios. The land in each farm was
tabulated as being in the operator's principal
municipio. The principal municipio was
defined as the one where the largest value of
the agricultural products was raised or
produced. It was usually, but not always,
where the operator reported all or the largest
part of the total land.

Terrenos en dos o más municipios. Una finca
individual se contó en un solo municipio, aunque el
terreno este localizado en dos o más municipios. El
terreno en cada finca se tabuló como si estuviese en
el municipio principal del agricultor. El municipio
principal se definió como aquel donde el mayor valor
de los productos agrícolas fueron cosechados o
producidos. Usualmente, pero no siempre, este era el
municipio donde el agricultor reportaba toda o la
mayor parte del terreno.

Land irrigated. This is land that had water
applied by artificial means for agricultural
purposes. It includes both harvested cropland
and pastureland. Separate figures were
obtained for areas irrigated by water from
public and private systems. Some land was
irrigated from public systems or facilities
operated by the Government, as well as from
one or more private systems. Such land was
reported under both private and public
systems. Data were also obtained on the
principal type of irrigation employed: gravity,
drip, sprinkle, or other type. Data were also
obtained on the major sources of water used for
irrigation, such as: wells or cisterns, rivers or
streams, lakes or private ponds, canals, and
other sources.

Terrenos bajo riego. Esto incluye terrenos con riego
por medios artificiales para propósitos agrícolas.
Incluye terrenos bajo cultivo y terrenos de pastoreo.
Se obtuvieron cifras separadas de áreas regadas con
aguas de sistemas privados y públicos. Algunos
terrenos utilizaron facilidades operadas por un
sistema público o por uno o más sistemas privados.
Este tipo de terrenos se reportó bajo ambos, el sistema
privado y el sistema público. También se obtuvieron
datos sobre el tipo principal de riego empleado:
gravedad, goteo, aéreo u otro tipo. Además, se

a sharecropper. If the person rents land to
others, the person is considered an operator
only if the land is retained for personal use.
The principal operator is the person that has the
final say in decisions related to the operation
of the farm. For partnerships, only one partner
is counted as the principal operator. If it is not
clear which partner is in charge, then the senior
or oldest active partner is considered the
principal operator. For census purposes, the
number of principal farm operators is the same
as the number of farms.
