Agricultural Prices ISSN: 1937-4216 Released May 31, 2023, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). April Prices Received Index Up 1.9 Percent The April Prices Received Index 2011 Base (Agricultural Production), at 130.8, increased 1.9 percent from March but decreased 2.2 percent from April 2022. At 125.6, the Crop Production Index was up 5.8 percent from last month and 2.4 percent from the previous year. The Livestock Production Index, at 135.8, decreased 1.8 percent from March, and 6.2 percent from April last year. Producers received higher prices during April for lettuce, broilers, cattle, and broccoli but lower prices for market eggs, hogs, milk, and apples. In addition to prices, the volume change of commodities marketed also influences the indexes. In April, there was increased monthly movement for strawberries, milk, broilers, and lettuce and decreased marketing of corn, soybeans, hay, and cattle. April Prices Paid Index Down 0.2 Percent The April Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 139.7, is down 0.2 percent from March 2023 but up 1.5 percent from April 2022. Lower prices in April for feeder pigs, wage rates, nitrogen, and complete feeds more than offset higher prices for feeder cattle, hay & forages, gasoline, and LP gas.

They include all grades and qualities. The average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash receipts for the commodity. Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about 1,900 mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total United States production. Livestock prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and livestock are not included since they represent very small percentages of the total sales. Grain marketed for seed is also excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities. Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on expanded sales. Recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent historic estimates. Revisions: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year estimation time, following five-year Census revisions, or when later information is received. Revisions are published in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices. Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for non-probability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors. Program Changes: See Price Program Links at the end of this report for details on program changes to the Prices Program methodology. 24 Agricultural Prices (May 2023) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service April Prices Paid by Farmers The April Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 139.7, is down 0.2 percent from March 2023 but up 1.5 percent from April 2022. Production: The April index, at 138.2, is down 0.1 percent from March but up 0.2 percent from last year. Lower prices in April for feeder pigs, wage rates, nitrogen, and complete feeds more than offset higher prices for feeder cattle, hay & forages, gasoline, and LP gas. Feed: At 139.3, the April index decreased 0.4 percent from March and 0.1 percent from last April. Since March, lower prices for complete feeds, concentrates, and supplements more than offset higher prices for hay & forages and feed grains. Livestock and poultry: The April index, at 145.7, increased 2.4 percent from March and 19 percent from last year. Since March, higher prices for feeder cattle more than offset lower prices for feeder pigs. The April feeder cattle price, at $211.00 per cwt, is up $12.00 per cwt from the March price. The April feeder pigs price, at $154.00 per cwt, is down $59.00 per cwt from March. Fertilizer: The index for April, at 122.2, is down 3.8 percent from March and 23 percent from April a year ago. Since March, lower prices for nitrogen and mixed fertilizer more than offset higher prices for potash & phosphate. Chemicals: The April index, at 149.9, is down 0.5 percent from March and 12 percent from last April. Fuels: At 92.6, the April index is down 0.3 percent from March and 22 percent from April 2022. Compared with March, prices are lower for diesel but higher for gasoline and LP gas. Machinery: The index for April, at 157.1, was unchanged from March but 4.5 percent above last April. Compared with last month, prices are higher for other machinery but lower for self-propelled machinery. Tractor prices are unchanged from April. Consumer Price Index: The April 2023 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased 4.9 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 303.363 (1982-1984=100). For the month, the index increased 0.5 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

Agricultural Prices (May 2023) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service 29 Reliability of Prices Paid Estimates Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce agricultural commodities. Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should equal total producer expenditures for the item. Survey procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that sell goods and services to farmers and ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average response rate in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the price for the specified item "most commonly bought by farmers" or that was the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to represent all production input items purchased. The survey reference period for all items is the full preceding calendar year. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed. Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is summarized as a non-probability survey. Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from expenditure data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and Headquarters for review by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price level for individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and United States levels, and are published as pri ces paid indexes referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor supplies, and marketing containers are updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statist ics (BLS) indexes. Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely for March when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change. Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors.
