30 Agricultural Prices (June 2021) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
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.

May Prices Paid by Farmers
The May Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 114.1, is up
0.9 percent from April 2021 and 5.7 percent from May 2020.
Production: The May index, at 110.3, is up 1.0 percent from April and 6.2 percent from last year. Higher prices in May
for complete feeds, feed grains, supplements, and nitrogen more than offset lower prices for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, and
LP gas.
Feed: At 117.0, the May index increased 4.3 percent from April and 16 percent from last May. Since April, prices are
higher for complete feeds, feed grains, supplements, hay & forages, and concentrates.
Livestock and poultry: The May index, at 103.6, is down 5.6 percent from April but up 15 percent from last year.
Since April, prices are lower for feeder cattle and feeder pigs. The feeder cattle price, at $137.00 per cwt, is down
$7.00 per cwt from the preview month. The feeder pigs price, at $203.00 per cwt, is down $40.00 per cwt from April.
Fertilizer: The index for May, at 74.6, is up 6.4 percent from April and 4.9 percent from May a year ago. Since April,
prices are higher for nitrogen, potash & phosphate, and mixed fertilizer.
Chemicals: The May index, at 95.2, is unchanged from April but down 3.4 percent from last May.
Fuels: At 57.8, the May index is up 2.5 percent from April but down 5.7 percent from May 2020. Compared with
April, prices are higher for diesel and gasoline but lower for LP gas.
Machinery: The index for May, at 127.1, increased 1.4 percent from April and 3.5 percent from last May. Compared
with last month, prices are higher for other machinery and tractors.
Consumer Price Index: The May 2021 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), as issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased 5.0 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 269.195 (1982-1984=100).
For the month, the index increased 0.8 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.
