Agricultural Prices

ISSN: 1937-4216

Released April 30, 2021, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of

Agriculture (USDA).

Special Note

Beginning this year, final U.S. marketing year average prices (which appear in Agricultural Prices reports) for several crops will be published earlier in the year to allow the Farm Service Agency to meet statutory deadlines

in administering their programs.

The crops impacted and the new publication months are: Barley, Oats, Wheat (June); Canola, Dry Edible Peas,

Flaxseed, Lentils, Rapeseed (July); Mustard Seed, Safflower, and Sunflower (September).

March Prices Received Index Up 2.6 Percent The March Prices Received Index 2011 Base (Agricultural Production), at 98.3, increased 2.6 percent from February and

6.4 percent from March 2020. At 99.3, the Crop Production Index is up 1.2 percent from last month and 14 percent from

the previous year. The Livestock Production Index, at 97.4, increased 4.1 percent from February, and 0.2 percent from March last year. Producers received higher prices during March for hogs, market eggs, soybeans, and lettuce but lower

prices for strawberries, oranges, cotton, and celery. In addition to prices, the volume change of commodities marketed

also influences the indexes. In March, there was increased monthly movement for strawberries, cattle, milk, and calves and decreased marketing of cotton, apples, soybeans, and greenhouse & nursery.

March Prices Paid Index Up 0.8 Percent

The March Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 111.7, is up 0.8 percent from February 2021 and 1.9 percent from March 2020. Higher prices for feeder pigs, nitrogen, potash &

phosphate, and diesel more than offset lower prices for LP gas, concentrates, grasses & legumes, and feeder cattle.

Adjustment for Seasonal Variation - All Eggs and All Milk Base prices used in calculating parity prices are averages of prices received by farmers for ten years; therefore, any

seasonal variation is largely averaged out. To facilitate comparisons with parity prices, monthly prices for All Eggs and

All Milk are adjusted for seasonal variation. The seasonally adjusted price is calculated by dividing the monthly price by the adjustment factor.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates

Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The

average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash

receipts for the commodity.

Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about

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: After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) 2009 program review which

included changes in farm production practices, plans were implemented to make necessary program improvements in the

agricultural price program. The index group structure for prices received was modified to maintain a more universal structure

and consistency with the required 1910-1914 series.

Modifications implemented January 2014 include the following: updated the current 1990-1992 base reference period to

2011; linked the 1910-1914 series to the updated base reference period, 2011; created index groups used universally by

researchers, data users, and policymakers; and re-classified agricultural commodities into the index groups. Also, the modifications expanded the commodity coverage for vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree nuts; updated monthly market

weights; and adjusted (normalized) current five year moving average cash receipts and farm input cost weights.

Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an

annual index.

The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent.

The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number.

See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details.


March Prices Paid by Farmers

The March Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 111.7, is

up 0.8 percent from February 2021 and 1.9 percent from March 2020.

Production: The March index, at 108.1, is up 0.9 percent from February and 2.2 percent from last year. Higher prices for

feeder pigs, nitrogen, potash & phosphate, and diesel more than offset lower prices for LP gas, concentrates, grasses &

legumes, and feeder cattle.

Feed: At 110.5, the March index increased 0.5 percent from February and 7.3 percent from last March. Higher

prices for feed grains, hay & forages, supplements, and complete feeds more than offset lower prices for concentrates.

Livestock and poultry: The March index, at 107.3, increased 1.5 percent from February and 8.8 percent from last year. Higher prices for feeder pigs more than offset lower prices for feeder cattle. The feeder pigs price, $226.00 per

cwt, is up $32.00 per cwt from the previous month. The feeder cattle price, at $140.00 per cwt, is down $1.00 per

cwt from February.

Fertilizer: The index for March, at 67.9, is up 6.6 percent from February but down 5.4 percent from March a year

ago. Prices are higher for nitrogen, potash & phosphate, and mixed fertilizer.

Chemicals: The March index, at 95.4, is down 0.1 percent from February and 2.6 percent from last March.

Fuels: At 57.8, the March index is up 1.9 percent from February but down 15 percent from March 2020. Compared

with February, prices are higher for diesel and gasoline but lower for LP gas.

Machinery: The index for March, at 124.9, increased 1.1 percent from February and 1.3 percent from last March.

Compared with last month, prices are higher for other machinery and tractors but lower for self-propelled

machinery.

Consumer Price Index: The March 2021 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), as issued by the

Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased 2.6 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 264.877 (1982-1984=100). For the month, the index increased 0.7 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

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 al l production

input items purchased. The survey reference period for most items is the five business days centered at the 15th of the month. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed.

Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is summarized as a non-probability survey. Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from expenditure

data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the 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 prices paid indexes

referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor

supplies, and marketing containers are updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indexes.

Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely for March

when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change.

Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors.

However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent.

Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the

survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors.

Program change: Effective January 2014, the National Agricultural Statistics Service modified the five-year moving

weights and updated the base reference period. In January 2015, publication of preliminary prices was suspended, and the

annual average index was replaced by an annual index.

As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period was updated to 2011. Five-year moving average weights are

adjusted (normalized) to minimize the effects of price changes. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 2011=100 indexes. The new indexes were

constructed by multiplying the ratios of the current prices to the base period prices by the moving average weights.

Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an

annual index.

The April 2015 program update discontinued publication of the annual March survey prices paid data.

The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent. The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number.
