The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the 2018 Guam
Census of Agriculture, analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census provides a
comprehensive picture of Guam’s agriculture in 2018, and NASS recognizes and appreciates that many
individuals and organizations contributed to the effort.
Most importantly, the success of the agriculture census depends directly on the cooperation of farmers and
ranchers across Guam. 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 Guam Census of Agriculture.
NASS acknowledges and appreciates the advice and support from the University of Guam, College of Natural
and Applied Sciences, and its Cooperative Extension and Outreach Service; the Guam Department of Agriculture;
various USDA agencies, farm organizations, stakeholder groups, and media outlets. They provided valuable
advice during the planning, data collection, and promotional phases of the census, as well as critical assistance to
local farmers completing census forms. Our thanks to the enumerators who collected data locally through NASS’
cooperative agreements.
Members of the inter-agency working group, under the leadership of the University of Guam, College of Natural
and Applied Sciences, made significant recommendations which helped establish data content. NASS appreciates
the group’s strong and consistent support of census programs.
Numerous farm organizations and media outlets were also instrumental in building awareness of the census and
encouraging farmers and ranchers to participate.
Finally, NASS acknowledges and appreciates the support services of the U.S. Department of Commerce National
Processing Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Contents III

Introduction
HISTORY
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).
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 1840 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.
The 2018 census is the 15th census of agriculture of
Guam. The first, taken in 1920, was a special census
authorized by the Secretary of Commerce. The next
agriculture census was taken in 1930 in conjunction
with the decennial census, a practice that continued
every 10 years through 1960. The 1964 Census of
Agriculture was the first quinquennial (5-year) census
to be taken in Guam. In 1976, Congress authorized
the census of agriculture to be taken for 1978 and
1982 to adjust the data-reference year to coincide with
other economic censuses. After 1982, the agriculture
census reverted to a 5-year cycle.
USES OF CENSUS DATA
The census of agriculture is the leading source of
statistics about Guam’s agricultural production and
the only source of consistent, comparable data at the
island level. Census statistics are used to measure
agricultural production and to identify trends in an
ever-changing agricultural sector. Many local
programs use census data as a benchmark for
designing and evaluating surveys. Private industry
uses census statistics to provide a more effective
production and distribution system for the agricultural
2017 Census of Agriculture

community. One of the most important uses of the
census data is to justify claims of farmers who may
suffer damages and losses due to natural disasters,
such as typhoons.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
The 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.
The data for the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture
were collected in accordance with a Cooperative
Agreement approved by the Director of the Census
and Survey Division of NASS and by the University
of Guam, College of Natural and Applied Sciences,
and its Cooperative Extension and Outreach Service.
FARM DEFINITION
The statistics collected in the census relate to places
with agricultural operations qualifying as farms
according to the census definition. In Guam, this
included all places from which $1,000 or more of
agricultural products were produced and sold, or
normally would have been sold, during the 12-month
period between January 1 and December 31, 2018.
The farm definition is the same that was used for the
2007 Guam Census of Agriculture, and is the same
definition used for the rest of the U.S.
DATA COMPARABILITY
In general, the data from the 2018 census are
comparable with those of previous censuses. All
dollar values presented in this report are in current
dollars, i.e., 2018 data are expressed in 2018 dollars
and 2007 data in 2007 dollars. The dollar values have
not been adjusted for changes in price levels between
census years. For other data changes between
Introduction V

censuses, refer to the section on Data Changes in
Appendix B.
REFERENCE PERIODS
Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and
equipment are the number on hand on the day of
enumeration. Crop production, crop and livestock
sales, and expense data are for the 12-month period
between January 1 and December 31, 2018.
TABLES AND APPENDICES
Tables 1 through 13 show detailed island data
accompanied by historic data from the previous
census. Tables 14 through 17 provide 2018 island data
cross-tabulated by tenure of operator, age of operator,
size of farm, and market value of agricultural products
sold.
Appendix A. Provides information about data
collection and data processing activities and discusses
the statistical methodology used in conducting and
evaluating the census.
Appendix B. Includes definitions of specific terms
and phrases used in this publication, including items
in the publication tables that carry the note "see text."
It also provides a facsimile of the report form used to
collect data.
RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY
In keeping with the provisions of Title 7, United
States Code, no data are published that would disclose
the operations of an individual farm. However, the
number of farms in a given size category or other
classification is not considered a release of
confidential information and is provided, even though
other information may be withheld.
CUSTOM TABULATIONS
Custom-designed tabulations can be developed to
individual user specifications on a programming cost
reimbursable basis. Quick Stats, NASS’s online

2017 Census of Agriculture - Summary Data

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A.
Census of Agriculture Methodology
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the Census of Agriculture is to
enumerate all members of a population with a defined
characteristic. For the Guam Census of Agriculture,
that goal is to account for “any place from which
$1,000 or more of agricultural products were
produced and sold, or normally would have been sold,
during the census year.”
As in the previous censuses of Guam, a direct
enumeration procedure was used in the 2018 Census
of Agriculture. Enumeration was based on a list of
farm operators compiled by the Cooperative
Extension and Outreach Service of the University of
Guam, and the Guam Department of Agriculture. The
statistics on this report were collected during the
spring of 2019.

Guam and their Cooperative Extension and Outreach
Service, the Guam Department of Agriculture, and
local USDA agencies. The goal with these
promotional materials included:
•

Encouraging participation in the Census of
Agriculture

•

Communicating how the census will provide
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

THE CENSUS POPULATION

Partnership and Local-Level Outreach

For the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture, a list of
farm operators was compiled by the Cooperative
Extension and Outreach Service of the University of
Guam, and the Guam Department of Agriculture. The
enumerators contacted all persons or operations on
the list and completed a census report form for all
farm operations that met the farm definition. If the
person on the list was not operating a farm, the
enumerator recorded whether the land had been sold
or rented to someone else and was still being used for
agriculture. If the land was sold or rented out, the
enumerator obtained the name of the new operator
and contacted that person, to ensure that he/she was
included in the census.

NASS officials met with leaders from agricultural
organizations, the University of Guam and its
Cooperative Extension and Outreach Service, the
Guam Department of Agriculture, and other USDA
agencies to successfully secure their support in
promoting the census among their constituencies.
Stakeholders partnered with NASS to promote the
2018 Guam Census of Agriculture through
publications (e.g. newsletters), special mailings,
speeches, social media, websites, and other
communications. Through grassroots-level outreach
and efforts, NASS partnered with a number of
community-based organizations to reach all farmers
and ranchers. Among the highlights of these
partnership efforts was the participation of local
extension agents on radio public service
announcements promoting the importance of the 2018
Guam Census of Agriculture.

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND
PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS
The Public Affairs Office (PAO) developed a
communication plan largely based on promotional
materials that were shared with local outreach
partners, including but not limited to the University of
2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A A - 1

Public Relations
In the public relations arena, NASS worked with
internal and external stakeholders to equip them with
communications tools and resources to deliver the
census communications message to their audiences.
The materials included but were not limited to: a press
release/stakeholder notice, a public service
announcement, flyers and posters, and a Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQs) document; which were
drafted for local media and other stakeholder
distribution. These materials were available both
electronically and in hard copy. Other outreach tools
included items such as pens and notepads.
DATA COLLECTION
Method of Enumeration
Personal enumeration was used in the 2018 Guam
Census of Agriculture, and in the 2007 Guam Census
of Agriculture, enumeration was based on a list of
farm operators compiled by the Cooperative
Extension and Outreach Service of the University of
Guam, and the Guam Department of Agriculture.
The enumerators contacted all persons or operations
engaged in agriculture in their assigned area and
completed a census report form for all farm operations
that met the farm definition. If the person on the list
was not operating a farm, the enumerator recorded
whether the land had been sold or rented to someone
else and was still being used for agriculture. If the
land was sold or rented out, the enumerator obtained
the name of the new operator and contacted that
person, to ensure that he/she was included in the
census.
Report Form
Prior to each agriculture census, the content of all
census report forms is reviewed to eliminate inquiries
no longer needed, to identify new items necessary to
meet user needs, and to better describe the agricultural
situation in Guam. Data requests are solicited from
farm organizations, land-grant colleges and
universities, State and Federal agencies, State
Department of Agriculture, agribusinesses, and other
users. Each respondent is asked to identify and justify
its specific data needs.

A - 2 Appendix A

A single version of the report form for the 2018 Guam
Census of Agriculture was prepared by NASS, in
cooperation with the University of Guam, College of
Natural and Applied Sciences, and its Cooperative
Extension and Outreach Service; the Guam
Department of Agriculture; and various USDA
agencies. Based on their comments, the content of
the 2018 census report form remained almost
unchanged from the previous census.
Training Program
The project manager, and enumerators employed for
the census in Guam received special training 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 census
report form.
REPORT FORM PROCESSING
Data Capture
The Census Bureau’s National Processing Center
(NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to print,
label, and ship the questionnaires to Guam.
Completed questionnaires were then returned to NPC
for data capture and scanning.
NASS staff on site at the NPC provided technical
guidance and monitored NPC processing activities.
All report forms returned to the NPC were
immediately checked in, using bar codes printed on
the mailing label. With the small survey universe, it
was determined that a key from paper application
would be most economical. All forms keyed were
then scanned and loaded into the Feith file
cabinet. The images were available for analytical
review of the data as well as for archive purposes.
The keying staff evaluated the contents and captured
pertinent responses. An independent quality control
process occurs after initial keying where ten percent
of the captured data is keyed a second time. If
differences existed between the first keyed value and
the second, an adjudicator handled resolution. The
decision of the adjudicator was used to grade the
performance of the keyers, who were required to

training. The measured error rate for the entire survey
was 0.39%. The images and the captured data were

transferred to NASS’s centralized network and
became available to NASS analysts on a flow basis.
The images were available for use in all stages of
review.
Editing Data
Captured data were processed through a computer
formatting program. The program verified that record
identifiers were valid and checked the basic integrity
of the data fields. Rejected records were referred to
analysts for correction. Accepted records were sent to
a computer batch edit process. Each execution of the
computer batch edit flowed as the data were received
from the National Processing Center (NPC).
All census records were passed through a complex
computer edit. The edit determined whether a
reporting operation met the minimum criteria to be
counted as a qualifying 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. Actions included removing
erroneously reported values, replacing an
unreasonable value with one consistent with other
reported data. Strategies for determining replacement
values are discussed in the next section.
Imputing Data
The edit systematically checked reported data sectionby-section with the overall objective of achieving an
internally consistent and complete report. NASS
subject-matter experts defined the criteria for
acceptable data. Problems that could not be resolved
within the edit were referred to an analyst for
intervention. Analysts used additional information
sources, examined the scanned image, and determined
an appropriate action.
Data Analysis
Once keyed, the data from each report form were
available to NASS analysts in Washington, DC, via
electronic media, for computer editing and analysis.
Data from each report were subjected to a detailed
item-by-item computer edit. The edit performed
comprehensive checks for consistency and
reasonableness, corrected erroneous or inconsistent
data; supplied missing data based on similar farms,
2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

and assigned farm classification codes necessary for
tabulating the data.
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.
DISCLOSURE REVIEW
After tabulation and review of the aggregates, a
comprehensive disclosure review was 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. Farm counts are not considered sensitive and
are not subject to disclosure. Cell suppression will be
used to protect the cells that are determined to be
sensitive to a disclosure of information.
Based on agency standards, data cells were
determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of
information if they failed either of two rules. First,
the threshold rule failed if the data cell contained less
than three operations. For example, if only one farmer
produced hogs on the island, NASS could not publish
the island total for hog inventory without disclosing
the individuals’ information. Second, the dominance
rule failed if the distribution of the data within the cell
allowed a data user to estimate any respondent’s data
too closely. A (p)-percent rule will be used to
determine dominance. Under this rule, if the two
largest contributing farms’ values to the county total
are subtracted from the estimated total, the remainder
must exceed a specified (p)-percent of the largest
contributed value. If the remainder fails to exceed the
specified percentage, the value is not published. For
example, if there are many farmers producing hogs on
the island and some of them were large enough to
dominate the cell total, NASS could not publish the
county total for hog inventory without risking
disclosing an individual respondent’s data. In both of
these situations, the data were suppressed and a “(D)”
was placed in the cell in the census publication table.
These data cells are referred to as primary
suppressions.
Appendix A A - 3

Since most items were summed to marginal totals,
primary suppressions within these summation
relationships were protected by ensuring that there
were additional suppressions within the linear
relationship that provided adequate protection for the
primary. A detailed computer routine selected
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 sensitive to a disclosure of
information, but were suppressed to protect other
primary suppressions. A "(D)" was also placed in the
cell of the census publication table to indicate a
complementary suppression. A data user cannot
determine whether a cell with a (D) represents a
primary or complementary suppression.
NASS analysts reviewed all complementary
suppressions to ensure no cells had been withheld that
were vital to the data users. In instances where
complimentary suppressions were deemed critically
important to the Island, analysts requested an override
and a different complement cell was chosen.
MEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS
PROCESS
Uncertainty is introduced into the data in compiling
the list of farm operators, in NASS’ 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.
Variability in Census Estimates due to
Statistical Adjustment
In conducting the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture,
efforts were initiated to measure error associated with
the adjustments for farm operations that were on the
list of farm operators, but did not respond to the
census report form. This error measurement was
developed from the standard error of the estimates at
the island level, where appropriate, and were
expressed as coefficients of variation (CVs) at the
island level. Coefficients of variation are displayed in
the Quick Stats database.

A - 4 Appendix A

Coefficient of variation is a measure of the relative
amount of error associated with a sample estimate.
Specifically, it is the standard error of a point estimate
divided by that estimate, generally multiplied times
100 so that it can be reported as a percentage. 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. Every estimate for
the 2018 Guam Census of Agriculture has a
corresponding CV published with it. NASS has
identified the following index to use when evaluating
coefficient of variation for the 2018 Guam Census of
Agriculture.
•

Low Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of
Variation (CV) 30 percent or higher. Caution
should be used when using this estimate in any
form. Please consult NASS for more information
or guidance.

•

Medium Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of
Variation (CV) between 15 percent and 29.9
percent.

•

High Reliability Estimate. Coefficient of
Variation (CV) less than 15 percent.

NONMEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS
PROCESS
As noted in the previous section, sampling errors can
be introduced from the nonresponse adjustment
procedure. This error is measureable. 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 list of farmers for the
census, to design an understandable report form with
clear instructions, to train enumerators on how to ask
the questions and record the answers on the report
form, and to minimize processing errors through the
use of quality control measures.
The weight
adjustment and tabulation processes recognize the
presence of 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.

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Respondent and Enumerator Error
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 reporting errors. Poor
instructions and ambiguous definitions lead to
misreporting. Respondents may not remember
accurately, may estimate responses, or enumerators
may record an item in the wrong cell. To reduce
reporting and recording errors, detailed instructions
for completing the report form were provided to each
enumerator, and questions were phrased as clearly as

2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

possible. In addition, each respondent’s answers were
checked for completeness and consistency by the
complex edit and imputation system.
Item Nonresponse
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.

Appendix B.
General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS REPORT
FORM
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 Guam. Data
requests are solicited from farm organizations, landgrant 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.
The report form for the 2018 Census of Agriculture
for Guam was prepared by NASS, in cooperation with
an inter-agency working group that include members
of the University of Guam, College of Natural and
Applied Sciences, the Cooperative Extension and
Outreach, the Guam Department of Agriculture, and
other data users. While similar to the report form used
in 2007, changes were made to reflect changes in
Guam's agriculture. A sample copy of the report form
is included in this appendix.
DATA CHANGES
Following are descriptions of the report form
changes.
Added items include:
•
•
•

Section 3, “Vegetables and Melons” - “Winged
beans”, and “Pepino Melons”, as response
options.
Section 4, “Fruit, Nuts, and Nursery Crops” “Coffee” and “Dragon Fruits”, as response
options.
Section 9, “Aquaculture” – “Catfish”,
“Milkfish”, “Shrimp”, “Tilapia” and “Other
Aquaculture products”, as response options.

Section 13, “Practices” – To report computer use,
internet access, and type of access utilized for the
farm business.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS
The following definitions provide a detailed
description of specific terms and phrases used in this
publication. Report form section number references
refer to the Guam Census of Agriculture report form,
18-A1(GU). Many of the definitions are the same as
those used in earlier censuses.
Crops.
The report form contained individual
inquiries for crops commonly grown and space to
write in those less frequently produced.
The
information requested for 2018 included acres of
crops harvested and pounds harvested for sale.
The units of measure for reporting quantities of some
crops have varied from one census to another. The
aim has been to permit reporting in the units of
measure currently in use. The quantities harvested for
each crop are expressed in the units of measure given
on the 2018 report form.
Root crops - The land area from which individual root
crops were harvested for sale was obtained in acres
and tenths of acres. When two or more crops were
harvested from the same land, the area was to be
reported for each separate crop or planting. Total
quantities of each crop harvested for sale were also
reported.
Vegetables and melons - Land area for individual
crops and the quantity harvested for sale for each crop
were collected.
Fruits, nuts, and nursery crops - The total number of
acres planted in bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut
trees and plants was collected. For individual fruit or
nut crops, data on the number of bearing and
Appendix B B - 1

nonbearing trees and plants, and the quantity
harvested for sale, were reported. For nursery crops,
the land area harvested, both square feet under cover
and acres in the open, were collected, along with the
value of sales.
Equipment. The following types of equipment on
the place at time of enumeration regardless of
ownership, were reported if they were operable:
Automobiles - This includes all vehicles used
primarily as passenger cars.
Motortrucks - This includes pickup trucks and trucktrailer combinations.
Tillers of all kinds - This includes all types of tillers
used to prepare soil for planting.
Tractors - This includes all wheel and track-laying
(crawler) tractors and garden tractors.
Expenses. The 2018 report form contained questions
on seven types of farm expenses incurred between
January 1 and December 31, 2018, whether made by
the farm operator, his/her landlord, or both. A farm
operator who rented part of his/her land to others
reported only the expenses on the land he/she
operated.
Feed purchased for livestock, poultry, and fish Expenses for feed for livestock, poultry, and fish
include total cash payments made for pasture used,
salt concentrates, mineral supplements, grain, hay,
mill feeds, and any other items purchased for feeding
livestock, poultry, and fish on the place. Expenses
made for the grinding and mixing of feed and the
estimated cost of items furnished to the operator by a
landlord or others are also included. Payments made
by a tenant to a landlord for feed grown on the tenant's
farm are excluded.
Machine hire and customwork - Expenses for
machine hire and customwork relate to tractor hire,
plowing, and spraying. Any amount spent for the
labor involved is considered to be part of the expense.
The costs of hauling, trucking, or exchange work
without pay are omitted.

B - 2 Appendix B

Purchases of fertilizers and manure - These expenses
include the total amount spent for manure and
commercial fertilizers of all kinds for use on the farm.
Purchases of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides
- This item relates to total cash expenses for all
chemicals, sprays, dusts, etc., used to control weeds,
pests, insects, or disease on crops.
Purchases of livestock, poultry, and fish - This item
includes all cash expenses for livestock, poultry, and
fish purchased for the place. The cost of livestock and
poultry bought and resold within 30 days is not
included.
Seed cost - These expenses include all seed purchased
for planting, as well as seedlings.
Wages and salaries paid to employees or hired farm
workers - Expenses for hired farm labor include total
cash payments made to family members and others
for farm labor. Payments to persons supplied by a
contractor or a cooperative organization and paid
directly by them or by the person in charge are also
included.
Farm operator. The term "operator" designates a
person who operates a farm, either by doing the work
himself/herself or by directly supervising the work.
The operator may be the owner, a member of the
owner's household, a hired manager, or a tenant,
renter, or sharecropper. If the operator rents land to
others or has land worked on shares by others, he/she
is considered the operator only if the land is retained
for his/her own operation. In the case of partnership,
only one partner is counted as an operator. By
definition, the number of operators is the same as the
number of farms.
Farms or operators reporting. Figures for "farms
reporting" or "operators reporting" represent the
number of farms or operators reporting the specified
item. The difference between the total number of
farms and the number of farms reporting a particular
item represents the number of farms not having that
item.
Fish and Other Aquaculture. Includes catfish,
milkfish, shrimp, tilapia, and other aquaculture
products.
2017 Census of Agriculture

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Land in farms. The land in farms was determined
from the answers to questions 1 through 4 in section
1 of the report form (see appendix B). The amounts
of land reported as owned and reported as rented from
others were added together, and the amount of land
reported as rented to others was subtracted from that
sum. The result represents "land in farms."

causes; cropland lying idle; and cropland planted with
soil improvement grasses or other cover crops planted
for improvement. It does not include land so hilly,
rocky, or wet that the cost of improving it for
cultivation would be more than the operator could
pay. It does not include land in roads, streams, or
swamps.

Land owned. This includes all land that the operator
or his/her spouse held under title, purchased contract,
homestead law, or as heir or trustee of an undivided
estate at the time of enumeration.

Pasture or grazing land - This refers to all land used
for pasture or grazing, except cropland. It includes all
woodland where livestock pastured or grazed. It does
not include cropland, even though cattle or other
livestock may have been grazed on it.

Land rented from others. This includes not only
land the operator rented or leased from others, but also
land worked on shares for others or land occupied rent
free.
Land rented to others. This includes all land that the
operator rented to others and all land assigned to
others on shares or rent free. For the most part, land
rented to others represents agricultural land, but it also
includes land rented for residential or other purposes.
The tenant is considered to be the operator of land
leased, rented, or worked on shares, even though
his/her landlord may supervise the operations. The
landlord is considered to be the operator of only that
portion of the land not assigned to tenants.
Land use. Land in farms at the time of enumeration
is categorized according to the way it was used
between January 1 and December 31, 2018. The land
is counted only once, even though it may have had
more than one use during the year.
Cropland harvested - This refers to all land from
which any crop was harvested. It also includes land
in field crops that were grazed when mature or almost
mature, and land in nonbearing fruit or nut trees and
plants. Land from which two or more crops were
harvested and which was also used for other purposes,
either before or after the crops were harvested, was to
be reported as cropland harvested without regard to
the other uses.
Other cropland - This includes all cropland on the
place that was used for pasture, and cropland on the
place that was not used for crops or pasture. It
includes land on which there was total crop failure due
to hurricane, flood, drought, insects, fire, or other
2017 Census of Agriculture
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Woodland - This includes all land that is covered in
woods or forests. It does not include woodland
pasture.
Other land - This refers to all land not included in the
other land use classifications, such as house and other
building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, and land area of
ponds and wasteland.
Livestock and poultry. Inventory data for livestock
and poultry relate to the number on hand at the time
of enumeration. All livestock and poultry were to be
enumerated on the place where they were at the time
of enumeration regardless of who owned them.
Livestock on unfenced land were to be reported as
being on the place identified as the headquarters of the
person who had control over them.
Operator characteristics. Data were obtained to
classify the operators according to the following
seven characteristics:
Age of operator - Operators were classified by age
into six groups. The average age was obtained by
dividing the sum of the ages of all operators reporting
by the number reporting.
Main occupation - If the operator devoted 50 percent
or more of his/her work time to agricultural activities,
his/her main occupation was considered to be
agriculture, otherwise his/her occupation was
considered to be nonagricultural.
Race of operator - The race, or national origin, of the
operator was collected for the first time in 1993.
Respondents were asked to choose between
Appendix B B - 3

Chamorro, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, White, or
Other to describe their race or national origin.
Residence of operator - Operators were classified by
residence according to whether or not they lived on
the farms operated. Where all the land was rented
from others or worked on shares for others, the
dwelling was considered to be on the farm operated
provided the dwelling he/she occupied was included
in the rental agreement. In such cases, the dwelling
was not necessarily on the land being operated.
Similarly, an operator who did not live on the land
being cultivated or grazed, but who had some
agricultural operations (other than a home garden) at
his/her dwelling, was considered to be living on the
farm.
Sex of operator - Operators are classified as male or
female.
Work off farm - The extent to which operators rely on
nonfarm sources for part of their income is indicated
by the number of days worked off the farm during the
year. Work off the farm was defined to include work
on someone else's farm for pay as well as all types of
nonfarm jobs, businesses, and professions whether the
work was done on the farm premises or elsewhere.
Exchange work was not included.
Years on present farm - Operators were classified by
years on present farm into four groups. These data
were based on the question asking the year the
operator began operation of the present farm or any
part of it.
Value of products sold. Data for value of products
sold were obtained for each group of crops or main
type of livestock sold from the farm. Data were
obtained for sales of field and forage crops,
vegetables, fruits and nuts, nursery crops, poultry and
poultry products, cattle and calves, hogs and pigs, fish
and other aquaculture products, other livestock and
livestock products and chicken eggs.
Farms by age of operator. Enumerators entered the
operator's age, as of his/her last birthday, on the report
form. The computer edit classified the operator's age
into one of the following age groups:

B - 4 Appendix B

Under 35 years
45 to 54 years
65 years and over

35 to 44 years
55 to 64 years

Farms by size. All farms were classified by size on
the basis of the total land area established in each
farm. According to the census definition, a farm is
essentially an operating unit, not an ownership tract.
All land operated or managed by one person or
partnership represents one farm. In the case of tenants,
the land assigned to each tenant is considered a
separate farm, even though the landlord may consider
the entire landholding to be one unit rather than
several separate units.
Farms by tenure of operator. In the 2018 census,
all farms were classified by tenure of operator on the
basis of data reported for land owned, rented from
others, worked on shares for others, and managed for
others. The same classification has been used since
1964. During processing operations, each report form
was coded to indicate whether the operator was a full
owner, part owner, or tenant.
Full owners - Operate only land they own
Part owners - Operate land they own and also land
they rent from others
Tenants - Rent from others or work the land they
operate on shares for others
Farms by value of agricultural products sold. All
farms were classified on the basis of the total value of
agricultural products sold. The total was obtained by
adding the reported values of all products sold from
the farm. The value of livestock, milk, poultry and
eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts, all field crops,
ornamental plants, and all other crops was obtained
from the operator at the time of enumeration. The
computer edit classified the value of agricultural
products sold into one of the following groups:
Less than $1,200
$2,500 to $4,999
$7,500 to $9,999

$1,200 to $2,499
$5,000 to $7,499
$10,000 or more
