Vermont State and County Data Volume 1 • Geographic Area Series • Part 45 AC-12-A-45 Issued May 2014 United States Department of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, Secretary National Agricultural Statistics Service Cynthia Z.F. Clark, Administrator Acknowledgments The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the 2012 Census of Agriculture, analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census provides a comprehensive picture of American agriculture in 2012, 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 the country. Recognizing that participating in the census is their responsibility and gives them a voice in their future, agricultural producers took the time to provide the information requested. We are grateful to every producer who participated in the 2012 Census of Agriculture. Also essential were the many partners who communicated about the census and encouraged producers to respond. Farm organizations, stakeholder groups, agricultural media, community-based organizations, and land grant and other universities helped to build awareness of the census and its importance to producers, their communities, and U.S. agriculture as a whole. We appreciate their help in reaching all kinds of agricultural operations, thereby ensuring a comprehensive census. Various USDA agencies and State departments of agriculture provided valuable advice during the planning, data collection, and processing phases of the census, as well as critical assistance at the local level to farmers and ranchers completing census forms. Our thanks to them and to the enumerators who collected data locally through NASS' cooperative agreement with the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics offered advice on census questions, as well as their strong and consistent support and thoughtful recommendations for census and other programs. Representatives of public and private organizations provided input as well. Finally, we acknowledge and appreciate the support services of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Processing Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

Operators Reporting More Than One Race: 2012 APPENDICES A. Census of Agriculture Methodology B. General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form Introduction HISTORY The 2012 Census of Agriculture is the 28th Federal census of agriculture and the fourth conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census conducted the census of agriculture for 156 years (1840- 1996). The 1997 Appropriations Act contained a provision that transferred the responsibility for the census of agriculture to NASS. The history of collecting data on U.S. agriculture dates back as far as President George Washington, who kept meticulous statistical records describing his own and other farms. In 1791, President Washington wrote to farmers requesting information on land values, crop acreages, crop yields, livestock prices, and taxes. Washington compiled the results on an area extending roughly 250 miles from north to south and 100 miles from east to west which today lies in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, where most of the young country's population lived. In effect, Washington's inquiry was an attempt to fulfill the need for sound agricultural data for a nation that was heavily reliant on the success of agriculture. Such informal inquiries worked while the Nation was young, but were insufficient as the country expanded. In 1839, Congress appropriated $1,000 for "carrying out agricultural investigations, and procuring agricultural statistics." The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the sixth decennial census of population. As the country expanded and agriculture evolved, the decade between censuses became too long an interval to capture the changes in agricultural production. After the 1920 census, the census interval was changed to every five years resulting in a separate mid-decade census of agriculture being conducted in 1925, 1935, and 1945. The agriculture census continued to be taken as part of the decennial census through 1950. From 1954 to 1974, the census was taken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976, Congress changed the 5-year data collection cycle to years ending in 2 and 7 to coincide with other economic censuses. That 5-year cycle continues to this day. USES OF CENSUS DATA The census of agriculture provides a detailed picture of U.S. farms and ranches every five years. It is the only source of uniform, comprehensive agricultural data for every State and county or county equivalent. Census of agriculture data are routinely used by farm organizations, businesses, State departments of agriculture, elected representatives and legislative bodies at all levels of government, public and private sector analysts, the news media, and colleges and universities. The data are frequently used to: • Show the importance and value of agriculture at the county, state, and national levels; • Provide agricultural news media and agricultural associations' benchmark statistics for stories and articles on U.S. agriculture and the foods we produce; • Compare the income and costs of production; • Provide important data about the demographics and financial well being of producers; • Evaluate historical agricultural trends to formulate farm and rural policies and develop programs that help agricultural producers; • Allocate local and national funds for farm programs, e.g. extension service projects, agricultural research, soil conservation programs, and land-grant colleges and universities; • Identify the assets needed to support agricultural production such as land, buildings, machinery, and other equipment; • Create an extensive database of information on uncommon crops and livestock and the value of those commodities for assessing the need to develop policies and programs to support those commodities; • Provide geographic data on production so agribusinesses will locate near major production areas for efficiencies for both producers and agribusinesses; • Measure the usage of modern technologies such as conservation practices, organic production, renewable energy systems, internet access, and specialized marketing strategies; • Develop new and improved methods to increase agricultural production and profitability; • Plan for operations during drought and emergency outbreaks of diseases or infestations of pests. AUTHORITY The 2012 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. FARM DEFINITION The census definition of a farm is 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. The definition has changed nine times since it was established in 1850. The current definition was first used for the 1974 Census of Agriculture and has been used in each subsequent agriculture census. This definition is consistent with the definition used for current USDA surveys. The farm definition used for each U.S. territory varies. The report for each territory includes a discussion of its farm definition. DATA COMPARABILITY Most data are comparable between the 2012 and 2007 censuses. A few changes were made to the 2012 census that affect comparability for some data items. See Appendix B, General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form, Data Changes for a detailed discussion of these changes. Dollar figures are expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation. In general, data for censuses since 1974 are not fully comparable with data for 1969 and earlier censuses due to changes in the farm definition. REFERENCE PERIOD Reference periods for the 2012 Census of Agriculture were similar to those used in the 2007 Census of Agriculture. Reference periods used were: • Crop production is measured for the calendar year, except for a few crops such as avocados, citrus, and olives for which the production year overlaps the calendar year. See Appendix B, General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form for details. • Livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment inventories, market value of land and buildings, and grain storage capacity are measured as of December 31 of the census year. • Crop and livestock sales, other farm-related income, direct sales income, income from federal farm programs, Commodity Credit Corporation loans, Conservation Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, Conservation Reserve Enhancement, and Wetlands Reserve Program participation, farm expenses, chemical and fertilizer use, irrigated acreage, and hired farm labor data are measured for the calendar year. TABLES AND APPENDICES Chapter 1. Table 1 shows State-level historical data through the 1982 census and tables 2 through 63 show detailed State-level data usually accompanied by historical data from the 2007 census. Tables 64 through 70 show detailed State-level data cross-tabulated by several categories for the 2012 census only. Chapter 2. County-level data are presented in 55 tables in 2 different table formats - county and county summary. Most tables include 2007 historical data. County tables include general data for all counties within the State. The county names are listed in alphabetical order in the column headings. County summary tables provide comprehensive data for all counties reporting a data item. Appendix A. Provides information about data collection and data processing activities and discusses the statistical methodology used in conducting and evaluating the census. Table A summarizes coverage, nonresponse, and misclassification adjustment for selected items for the State. Table B provides reliability estimates of State totals for selected items. Table C summarizes coverage, nonresponse, and misclassification adjustment for selected items at the county level. Table D provides total number of American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators both on and off reservations by county. 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 facsimiles of the report form and instruction sheet used to collect data. RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY 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 farm or ranch. 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. SPECIAL EFFORTS DIRECTED AT MINORITIES NASS implemented several activities to improve coverage of minority farm operators. These activities included, but were not limited to: • Obtaining mail lists from organizations likely to contain names and addresses of minority farm operators; • Conducting pre-census promotion activities that targeted women, American Indian and Alaska Native, Black and African American, and Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin farm operators; • Special emphasis was placed on collecting data from individual operators on American Indian reservations in three States. SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOM TABULATIONS Special studies such as the 2013 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey and the 2013 Census of Aquaculture are part of the census program and provide supplemental information to the 2012 Census of Agriculture in the respective subject area. Results are published on the internet. Custom-designed tabulations may be developed when data are not published elsewhere. These tabulations are developed to individual user specifications on a cost-reimbursable basis and shared with the public. Quick Stats, NASS's online database that allows data users to build customized queries, should be investigated before requesting a custom tabulation. All special studies and custom tabulations are subject to a thorough disclosure review prior to release to prevent the disclosure of any individual respondent data. Requests for custom tabulations can be submitted via the internet from the NASS home page, by mail, or by e-mail to: DataLab National Agricultural Statistics Service Room 6436A, Stop 2054 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W.

Appendix A. Census of Agriculture Methodology The purpose of a census is to enumerate all objects with a defined characteristic. For the 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." 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, corrects or completes the requested information, and combines the data to provide information on the characteristics of farm operations and farm operators at the national, State, and county levels. In this appendix, these census processes are described. THE CENSUS POPULATION The Census Mail List The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) maintains a list of farmers and ranchers from which the Census Mail List (CML) is compiled. The goal is to build as complete a list as possible of agricultural places that meet the farm definition. The CML compilation begins with the list used to define sampling populations for NASS surveys conducted for the agricultural estimates program. Each record on the list includes name, address, and telephone number plus additional information that is used to efficiently administer the census of agriculture and agricultural estimates programs. NASS builds and improves the list on an ongoing basis by obtaining outside source lists. Sources include State and federal government lists, producer association lists, seed grower lists, pesticide applicator lists, veterinarian lists, marketing association lists, and a variety of other agriculture-related lists. NASS also obtains special commodity lists to address specific list deficiencies. These outside source lists are matched to the NASS list using record linkage programs. Most names on newly acquired lists are already on the NASS list. Records not on the NASS list are treated as potential farms until NASS can confirm their existence as a qualifying farm. Staff in NASS field offices routinely contact these potential farms to determine whether they meet the farm definition. For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, NASS made a concerted effort to work with Community-Based Organizations not only to improve list coverage for minorities but also to increase census awareness and participation. List building activities for developing the 2012 CML started in 2009 by updating list information from respondents to the 2007 Census of Agriculture. Between 2010 and 2012, NASS conducted a series of National Agricultural Classification Surveys (NACS) on approximately 1.7 million records, which included nonrespondents from the 2007 census and newly added records from outside list sources. The NACS report forms collected information that was used to determine whether an operation met the farm definition. If the definition was met, the operation was added to the NASS list and subsequently to the CML. Addressees that were nonrespondents to a NACS were also added to the CML and identified with a special status code. Measures were taken to improve name and address quality. Additional record linkage programs were run to detect and remove duplicate records both within each State and across States. List addresses were processed through the United States Postal Service's National Change of Address Registry and the Locatable Address Conversion System to ensure they were correct and complete. Records on the list with missing or invalid phone numbers were matched against a nationally available telephone database to obtain as many phone numbers as possible. To reduce costs, operations with characteristics that indicated they were unlikely to be farms, according to the farm definition, were removed from the list. The official CML for the 2012 Census of Agriculture was established on September 1, 2012. The list contained 3,009,641 records. There were 2,387,326 records that were thought to meet the NASS farm definition and 622,315 potential farm records, which included NACS nonrespondents, other records added to the CML by the NASS field offices after the record linkage process, and late adds to the CML that were not included in any previous NACS or State screening survey. Not on the Mail List (NML) Extensive efforts are directed toward developing a CML that includes all farms in the U.S. However, some farms are not on the list, and some agricultural operations on the list are not farms. NASS uses its June Agricultural Survey (JAS) to quantify the number and types of farms not on the CML. The tracts in the JAS that are not on the CML are said to be in the Not on the Mail List (NML) domain. If a tract in the NML domain is determined to be a farm during the census, it is an NML farm. The NML farms are used to estimate the undercoverage associated with the census. The NASS area frame, which is used for the JAS, covers all land in the U.S. and includes all farms. The land in the U.S. is stratified by characteristics of the land. A probability sample of segments is drawn within each stratum for the JAS. Segments of approximately equal size are delineated within each stratum and designated on aerial photographs. The JAS sample of segments is allocated to strata to provide accurate measures of acres planted to widely grown crops, farm numbers, and inventories of cattle. Sampled segments in the JAS are personally enumerated. Each operation identified within a segment boundary is known as a tract. The 2012 JAS sample was increased to improve the farm counts for operations that produced specialty commodities or had socially disadvantaged or minority operators. The total sample consisted of 14,376 segments of which 3,291 were additional segments added to facilitate the use of the JAS as an Agricultural Coverage Evaluation Survey (ACES). The additional segments were added based upon multivariate sample allocations to target specific items at the U.S. level. The 2012 JAS consisted of sample segments from all States, with the exception of Alaska where NASS does not maintain an area frame. During the JAS prescreening operation, each tract is identified as either agricultural or non-agricultural. Each JAS agricultural tract is identified as a farm or non-farm in June based on the farm definition. Non-agricultural tracts are further classified into categories; with farm potential, with unknown farm potential, or with no farm potential. The names and addresses collected in the 2012 JAS were matched to the CML. Those from the JAS 2012 survey that did not match were determined to be in the NML domain and sent a yellow census report form so that they could be differentiated from the green report form sent to those addressees on the CML. Instructions on the census report form directed any respondent who received duplicate forms to complete the CML 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 36,021 records. An additional 403 June area tracts linked to Census records that were Undeliverable as Addressed (UAA) were later added to the NML domain. A total of 36,424 NML records were summarized of which 5,565 records were truly NML and in-scope. 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. The percentage of farms not represented on the CML varied considerably by State. 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 agriculture-related 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 all States in the JAS sample. DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS NASS planned and executed a multi-phase strategic communications campaign for the 2012 Census of Agriculture, to increase the level of awareness and response among all U.S. agricultural producers. • Phase 1 ran from October 2011 - July 2012. It raised awareness about the census and list building, encouraged producers to sign up in response to NASS mailings and at community, association, and other stakeholder meetings where NASS partners reached out. • Phase 2 ran from July 2012 - December 2012. It notified farm operators and agricultural organizations that the census would be mailed in December, and encouraged communications regarding the census. • Phase 3 ran from December 2012 - July 2013. It focused on census data collection with messaging urging response, reminding operators that it's- not-too-late-to-respond, and thank-you messaging. • Phase 4 began in February 2014. It communicated information about the data release plan, which has four phases: ? Phase A (November 2012 - December 2013) focused on thanking farmers for their participation in the census and partners for their leadership. ? Phase B (January 2014 - February 2014) drew attention to the preliminary census release. ? Phase C (February 2014 through May 2014) focused on the final census release. ? Phase D (ongoing) continues to focus on the census findings as they are released. As part of the plan, NASS targeted selective communications and outreach efforts on beginning and minority farm operators. All of these efforts were accomplished through an integrated communications program that focused on four primary areas: partnership building, local-level outreach, public relations, and paid media. External support was provided by a private agricultural communications agency. The unifying force behind the 2012 communications campaign was the theme "There's Strength in Numbers." This was accompanied by supporting messages and artwork that created a consistent look and feel for all census communications. All messages and materials served the purpose of inspiring action: Grow Your Farm Future - Shape Your Farm Programs - Boost Your Rural Services - Fill out your Census of Agriculture - Do your part to be counted - There's strength in numbers. Partnership and Local-Level Outreach At the national level, NASS officials met with leaders from dozens of key agricultural organizations, State departments 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 2012 Census of Agriculture through publications, special mailings, speeches, social media, websites, and other communications. In addition, through grassroots-level outreach and efforts, NASS partnered with a number of community-based organizations to reach minority and limited-resource farmers and ranchers. All national-level outreach was encouraged and mirrored at the regional, State, and local levels. Among the highlights of these partnership efforts was the production of more than 40 television and radio public service announcements (PSAs) featuring the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, State secretaries, directors, and commissioners of agriculture and leaders from community-based organizations. The PSAs, available in both English and Spanish, encouraged farmers and ranchers to respond to the 2012 Census of Agriculture. Coverage of American Indian and Alaska Native Farm Operators To maximize coverage of American Indian and Alaska Native farm operators, special procedures were followed in the census. A concerted effort was made to get individual reports from every American Indian and Alaska Native farm operator in the country. If this was not possible within some reservations, a single reservation-level census report was obtained from knowledgeable reservation officials. These reports covered agricultural activity on the entire reservation. NASS reviewed these data and removed duplication with any data reported by American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators who responded on an individual census report form. Additionally NASS obtained, from knowledgeable reservation officials, the count of American Indian and Alaska Native farm operators (on reservations) who were not counted through individual census report forms, but whose agricultural activity was included in the reservation-level report form. This information is summarized in Table D, American Indian and Alaska Native Operators: 2012, providing the number of farm operators (for up to three operators per farm) reported as American Indian or Alaska Native in the race category, either as a single race or in combination with other races, on the individual census report forms, plus the total number of American Indian or Alaska Native operators farming on reservations as reported by reservation officials. The count from the individual report forms is summarized in the "Individually reported" column. It includes operators on or off reservations. The "Other" column provides counts of operators on reservations as reported by a reservation or tribal official. The "Total" column is simply a sum of the "Individually reported" and the "Other" columns. Tables in other parts of the publication count the reservation- level reports as single farms. Public Relations In the public relations arena, NASS and the contractor worked with internal and external stakeholders to equip them with communications tools and resources to deliver the census communications message to their audiences. NASS utilized its Intranet to deliver materials to the 12 regional and 46 field offices and created a "Partner to Promote the Census" portal on the census website to deliver public relations materials and tools to external stakeholders. The materials included, but were not limited to: customizable news releases, feature stories, newsletter articles, blogs; drop-in advertisements; website buttons and banners; PowerPoint templates; brochures; and more. In addition, at the national level NASS issued a dozen news releases citing department and agency spokespeople and published timely and relevant pieces to the USDA blog highlighting the census. These public relations efforts at the national, State, and local levels helped ensure that NASS's message about the census was continually in the media, including print and online publications, a variety of social media, radio, and some television programs. Media outlets included both those specializing in agriculture and more general outlets. Paid Media For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, NASS placed special emphasis on reaching new and beginning farmers, while continuing efforts to improve its reach within previously under-represented populations. Even with increasingly limited budgets and resources, NASS was able to apply a portion of funds towards paid media. Strategically, NASS purchased limited print and online advertising in areas where there was the potential for high concentrations of under-represented populations and new and beginning farmers and ranchers. DATA COLLECTION Method of Enumeration Data collection was accomplished primarily by mailout/mailback, but supplemented with Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) on the Internet, and personal enumeration for special classes of records in the census operations. Personal enumeration (interviewing) involved the use of both Computer- Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) and Computer-Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI). Enumerators at the NASS National Operations Center in St. Louis, MO conducted CATI data collection. In addition, enumerators under contract with NASS through the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) conducted phone and personal interviews with respondents. For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, NASS implemented a pre-notification strategy in an effort to increase awareness, improve overall responses, and encourage respondents to report early to avoid continued correspondence. All records in the initial mailout received either a postcard or pre-recorded voice message announcing the census mail packets were coming. Report Forms There were seven regionalized versions of the report forms used for the 2012 Census of Agriculture. The report form versions were designed to facilitate reporting crops most commonly grown within each report form region. Additionally, an American Indian report form was developed to facilitate reporting for operations on reservations in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. The regional report form numbers are: 12-A101, 12-A102, 12-A103, 12-A104, 12- A105, 12-A106 and 12-A107 (HI). The American Indian report form is 12-A200. All of the forms allowed respondents to write in specific commodities that were not listed on their form. Report Form Mailings Pre-notification by postcard or pre-recorded message began December 10, 2012. Approximately 3.0 million mail packets were mailed in December 2012. 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 two follow-up mailings to nonrespondents. The initial mailout was followed by a thank-you reminder postcard that was delivered in January 2013 to all operations that received mail packets. First follow-up mail packets were mailed in mid-February 2013 to approximately 1.0 million nonrespondents. Second follow-up mail packets were mailed in mid- March 2013 to approximately 750,000 nonrespondents. Personal Follow-up Operating concurrently with NPC's mail data collection efforts, NASS telephone call centers targeted selected groups of census nonrespondents for telephone enumeration. NASS field offices targeted selected groups of census records for in-person enumeration. These efforts were referred to as: • Suspicious Out of Scope Follow-up • Criteria Record Follow-up • Must Case Follow-up • American Indian and Alaska Native Farm Operator Follow-up • Low Response County Follow-up • Last Call Nonresponse Follow-up • Not on Mail List (NML) Follow-up Suspicious Out-of-Scope Follow-up. The Suspi-cious Out-of-Scope Follow-up was a phone follow-up that began in February 2013 and was conducted through May 2013. It included records that mailed their form back with a response that they were no longer farming. These operations had reported agricultural information in another survey during 2012. The operations were re-contacted with a CATI instrument to either verify the respondent was not farming or complete a census report form. Criteria Record Follow-up. Nonrespondents and refusals to the National Agricultural Classification Surveys received unique coding on the CML and are referred to collectively as Criteria Records for follow-up data collection. These Criteria Records typically had a lower probability of meeting the farm definition and were less likely to respond. It was critical to identify those records in this group that represented farms to provide coverage of the small farm population. Small farms make up a significant portion of the overall U.S. farm population. For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, 276,043 Criteria Records were included in the Census Mail List (CML). A sample of 23,739 Criteria Records was selected for targeted data collection efforts. The sampled records were first contacted by telephone using the census CATI instrument beginning in February 2013 after the initial mail returns were processed. Certified mail to 18,831 respondents was used for those who could not be contacted by telephone. Data collection resulted in 10,887 returns from both telephone and certified mail. The in-scope rate from the returns was applied to the remaining criteria records during replication, which is described in the next sub-section. Must Case Follow-up. Must cases were known large operations, the absence of which could have significantly affected the accuracy of census results. For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, 118,533 records were categorized as Must cases. Each active Must operation was accounted for by mail receipt, phone interview, or personal enumeration; if an operation was no longer in operation, its nonfarm status was documented. CATI calling of nonrespondent Must cases was undertaken by call centers from March 2013 through May 2013, after the initial and first follow-up mailing. Following the CATI calling, the remaining nonresponse Must cases were assigned to field offices for personal enumeration. Because of the potential importance of Must cases, they were all accounted for and therefore not eligible for nonresponse weighting adjustment. American Indian and Alaska Native Farm Operator Follow-up. The American Indian report form (12-A200) was mailed to all operations in Arizona, New Mexico and Utah thought to have an American Indian or Alaska Native operator. It was included in the initial mailout, but due to poor mail response a personal enumeration data collection strategy was utilized with no additional mail follow-up. A concerted effort was made to get individual reports from every American Indian and Alaska Native farm operator in the country. If this was not possible within a reservation, a single reservation-level census report was obtained from knowledgeable reservation officials. These reports covered agricultural activity on the entire reservation. The NASS reviewed these data and removed any duplicate data reported by American Indian or Alaska Native farm operators from that reservation who responded on an individual census report form. Additionally NASS obtained, from knowledgeable reservation officials, the count of American Indian and Alaska Native farm operators (on the reservations) who were not counted through individual census report forms, but whose agricultural activity was included in the reservation-level report form. Low Response County Follow-up. The Low Response County (LRC) follow-up activity was used to increase the response rate in all counties to at least 75 percent. CATI was used for this follow-up activity. NASS utilized an adaptive design technique to identify particular records for telephone contact, in an effort to increase coverage on minority operations and operations known to produce specialty commodities. In early April 2013, NASS identified nonresponse cases in counties with a response rate of less than 75 percent. Nonresponse records in these counties were then prioritized so that minority operations and specialty commodity producers were the primary records delivered to phone enumerators. Nonrespondent telephone contact information was transmitted electronically to NASS call centers and incorporated into their CATI instrument. CATI follow-up activities began in mid-April 2013 and continued through mid-June 2012. Automated procedures were employed biweekly to ensure that the record selection procedures were targeting counties that would meet the goals of increasing minority operation coverage and to monitor the number of respondents needed to reach the 75 percent county response rate. When the required number of completions was achieved for a given county, LRC activity was suspended in that county. Last Call Nonresponse Follow-up. The Last Call Nonresponse Follow-up activity was utilized to increase the national response rate to 80 percent. All remaining nonresponse records with an expected value of sales greater than $50,000 in counties that had not achieved a 75-percent response rate were eligible for this phone follow-up activity. CATI was used for this activity and began in mid-July 2013 and lasted until August 1, 2013. Automated procedures were employed to monitor the number of respondents needed and completed. When a 75 percent response rate was achieved for a given county, follow-up in that county was suspended. NASS achieved its goal of an 80- percent national response rate utilizing Last Call Nonresponse Follow-up. Not on the Mail List (NML) Follow-up. To account for farming operations not on the CML, NASS used its 2012 JAS supplemented sample from the NASS area frame. The NASS area frame covers all land in the U.S. with the exception of Alaska and includes all farms. As previously described, the NASS conducted a record linkage operation between the CML records and the records from the 2012 JAS. Those 2012 JAS records that did not match records on the CML were designated as "Not on the Mail List (NML)" records. These records were mailed a yellow census form so that it could be differentiated from the green forms mailed to CML records. The NML records were mailed at the same time as the census mailing and received the same follow-up procedures as the census mailing through the first follow-up in mid-February 2013. Beginning in March 2013, CATI was used for nonresponse follow-up for NML nonrespondents. Replication Replication is utilized to improve efficiency and reduce respondent burden. To adjust for nonresponse associated with criteria records in the 2007 Census of Agriculture, NASS replicated a set of respondents determined to be in- scope from the last mailing of the Agricultural Identification Survey (AIS), conducted in December 2006. The replicated records represented operations that were relatively small in size and homogeneous in nature. Replicated records were assumed to be in-scope, based on their AIS reported data. For the 2012 Census of Agriculture, a first mailing was sent to the criteria records, a subpopulation consisting of all of the approximately 74,000 respondents to the 2011 NACS mailing. This included pre-notification using a pre-recorded message, the first mailing, and the thank-you reminder post card. No further follow-up efforts were conducted on this subpopulation. As in 2007, the agricultural operations in this subpopulation were relatively small in size and homogeneous in nature. The responses from the criteria records were used to estimate the in-scope rate for the 20,168 nonrespondents from this subpopulation. Records were selected randomly for replication or coding as out-of-scope based on the estimated in-scope rate. The use of the in-scope rate after one mailing is supported by analysis of 2007 census data, which indicated the early in-scope rate was a reasonable proxy for the in-scope rate for the subpopulation of criteria records that did not respond to the NACS immediately preceding the census mailing. Of the 20,168 NACS records with no response, 16,762 records were selected to be in-scope. Data relationships between the 2012 responses and their respective NACS data were applied to the NACS data for the nonrespondents selected to be in-scope to derive values to seed replication. Then replication was conducted through imputation. Criteria records with no response to the December 2011 NACS were excluded in the capture-recapture adjustments for coverage, response, or correct classification. The in-scope records were each given an initial weight of one. However, for calibration, the replicated in-scope records were eligible for a coverage adjustment. REPORT FORM PROCESSING Data Capture 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. All report forms returned to the NPC were immediately checked in, using bar codes printed on the mailing label, and removed from follow-up report form mailings. All forms with any data were scanned and an image was made of each page of a report form. Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) was used to capture categorical responses and to identify the other answer zones in which some type of mark was present. Data entry operators keyed data from the scanned images using OMR results that highlighted the areas of the report forms with respondent entries. The keyer evaluated the contents and captured pertinent responses. Ten percent of the captured data were keyed a second time for quality control. 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 maintain a certain accuracy level. The images and the captured data were transferred to NASS's centralized network and became available to field offices and headquarters on a flow basis. The images were available for use in all stages of review. Images were computer generated for reports obtained from the telephone interviews and the Internet. Editing Data Captured data were processed through a computer formatting program, which verified that records were valid - that the record identification number was on the list of census records, that the reported counties 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 consisted of records from only one State and flowed as the data were received from the NPC, the NASS Electronic Data Reporting (EDR) web utility, or the Computer-Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI) applications. 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 to 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 overlooked item. 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 were categorized as out-of-scope for the census; that is, they were classified as being a nonfarm. Out-of-scope records that NASS had reason to believe might be in-scope (indications of recent and/or significant agricultural activity reported on NASS surveys, for example) were referred to analysts for verification. 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. Prior to the census mailout, NASS established a group of 90 analysts in a Census Editing Unit in the National Operations Center in St. Louis, MO who examined the scanned images, consulted additional sources of information, and determined an appropriate action. Field office analysts also participated using an interactive version of the edit program to submit corrected data and immediately re-edit the record to ensure a satisfactory solution. Imputing Data The edit determined the best value to impute for reported responses that were deemed unreasonable and for required responses that were absent. If an item could not be calculated directly from other current responses, the edit determined whether acreage, production or inventory items had been reported for that farm on a recent NASS crop or livestock survey. For operators who had not changed in five years, demographic variables such as race and sex were taken from the previous census. Administrative data from the Farm Service Agency were used for a few items, such as Conservation Reserve Program acreage. When deterministic edit logic and previously-reported data sources proved inadequate, data from a reporting farm of similar type, size, and location (a donor farm) were considered. In cases where automated imputation was unable to provide a consistent report, the record was referred to an analyst for resolution. 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 determined dynamically 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 counties of production of the donor and recipient was always included as one of the measures of similarity. 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 2007 census data, reconfigured to emulate 2012 data and then edited using 2012 logic. Data from the 2010 Census Content Test were similarly remapped and edited before being added to the original donor pools. As 2012 records were successfully processed, they were added to the donor pools, which maintained the most recent data for each farm. Donor pools were updated approximately every other week, as determined by edit processing schedules. After several updates, all initial data records were dropped, leaving only 2012 records in the donor pools. After each update, donor pool records were grouped into strata containing farms in the same state of similar type and size, using a data-driven algorithm to define strata. Certain American Indian farms were treated as a separate group, effectively having their own donor pool. 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 was no satisfactory donor 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, a program provided values from a table of donor pool averages in lieu of values from an individual donor, wherever possible. This 'failover' utility was new for the 2012 census imputation process, and significantly reduced the number of imputation failures among the expenditure and labor variables. During the early stages of editing, records requiring imputation for production (and hence yields) of field crops or hay, land values, or certain expenditure variables were set aside or "parked." These records were edited when the donor pools contained only 2012 records, ensuring that 2012 data were used in imputations for these variables. 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 inflate or reduce the donor record's value for the imputed field. The imputed data were then validated by the same edit logic to which reported data were subject. Since imputation was conducted independently for each occurrence, reports requiring multiple imputations may have drawn from multiple donors. Data Analysis The complex edit ensured the full internal consistency of the record. Successfully completing the edit did not provide insight as to whether the report was reasonable compared to other reports in the county. Analysts were 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 researched and, when necessary, corrections were made and the record interactively edited again. When NASS summarizes the census of agriculture, it assigns the data from an individual report to the "principal" county. The principal county is based on the operator's response to a census question and is the one county in which the majority of agricultural products are produced. Because some large operations have significant production in multiple counties, some reports were broken up into multiple source counties, to more accurately allocate the data. Similarly, large farms operating in more than one State were treated as distinct, state-specific operations. A separate report form was completed for each county or State and a separate record was added. ACCOUNTING FOR UNDERCOVERAGE, NONRESPONSE, AND MISCLASSIFICATION Although much effort was expended making the CML as complete as possible, the CML did not include all U.S. farms, 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 that were fully adjusted for list undercoverage, nonresponse and misclassification at the county level. In the 2007 Census of Agriculture, adjustments for undercoverage and nonresponse were estimated independently. In 2007, as in earlier censuses, the NASS area frame was used to adjust for undercoverage. This process assumed that the area frame provided complete coverage and that all operations were correctly classified as farm/nonfarm. To determine the extent of undercoverage in 2007, the CML records were matched to the area-frame tracts designated as agricultural, non-agricultural with potential, or non- agricultural with potential unknown in June. The area-frame tracts that did not match a CML record were designated as being in the Not on the Mail List (NML) domain. In 2007, tracts that were determined to be non-agricultural without potential during the pre-screening phase of the June Agricultural Survey (JAS) were not considered in the NML domain construction. The NML domain tracts were sent a census form and, if a tract was associated with a farm, then that farm contributed to the correction for undercoverage. To adjust for nonresponse in 2007, each responding CML record was given a probability of being a farm using a classification tree. The inverse of this probability became the nonresponse weight for that record. For undercoverage, the adjustment provided State-level values. A State-level estimate was based on the weighted sum of the responders with an adjustment for the non- responders within that State plus the State-level undercoverage adjustment. Because State-level farm count estimates based on this two-step process sometimes had high standard errors and apparent biases, the national-level adjusted estimates were smoothed across States, producing initial State-level farm operation coverage targets. Research following the 2007 Census of Agriculture led to the realization that some area-frame operations were misclassified as farm/nonfarm, which was in conflict with the previous assumption that the JAS farm classification was the accurate classification. Further, because nonresponse could only occur if the operation was on the CML, undercoverage and nonresponse were dependent. Thus in 2012, NASS used capture-recapture methodology to adjust for undercoverage, nonresponse, and misclassification. To implement capture- recapture methods, two independent surveys were required. The 2012 Census of Agriculture (based on the CML) and the 2012 JAS (based on the area frame) were those two surveys. Historically, NASS has been careful to maintain the independence of these two surveys. A second assumption was that the proportion of JAS farms with a given set of characteristics captured by the census was equal to the proportion of U.S. farms with those same characteristics captured by the census. 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; that is, the capture probability pC is of interest: = p(CML, Responded, Farm on Census|Farm) 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 pC. 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, = p(Farm | Farm on Census) where CCFC represents Correct Census Farm Classification. 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): where F is the set of all CML records classified as farms based on their responses to the census questionnaire. To estimate the capture and correct census farm classification probabilities, a matched dataset consisting of JAS records and census records was created. Records in the 2012 JAS sample were matched to the 2012 census using probabilistic record linkage. The CML records that matched with JAS tracts represent the Census sample. Note: The Census Sample is a subset of the CML records and includes only those records matching a JAS tract. Both agricultural and non-agricultural tracts were included in the matched dataset. (This differs from the 2007 processes, which considered only the agricultural tracts and non-agricultural tracts with potential or with potential unknown. It also included CML records that responded to the census as a farm or nonfarm and CML records that did not respond to the census.) Resolving Farm Status The farm status based on census responses to either the CML or NML census data collection and the JAS agreed in most cases; these records are referred to as having resolved farm status. However, in other cases, a record was identified as a farm (nonfarm) on the JAS and as a nonfarm (farm) by the census through either the CML or the NML. Such records are said to have conflicting or unresolved farm status. An operation identified as a farm is referred to as in-scope; one identified as a nonfarm is referred to as out- of-scope. From the set of matched records, three groups with conflicting farm status were identified: 1) in-scope JAS records that were out-of-scope on the census and 2) census in-scope and JAS out-of-scope records, and 3) in-scope JAS records that did not have a census response. The records with conflicting farm status were sent to regional field offices for review. In each case, efforts were made to determine whether (1) the status had changed between June and December when the census was conducted, (2) the JAS farm status was correct, (3) the census farm status was correct, (4) the records were incorrectly matched, or (5) the farm status could not be resolved. Not all of the records with conflicting farm status could be resolved. In 2012, 11.6 percent of the records in the Census Sample had unresolved farm status. Of these, 18.9 percent were from nonresponse to the census report form. The probability an operation is a farm was estimated for the records with unresolved farm status. Using the 2012 matched dataset, a logistic model of the probability an operation is a farm based on the records with resolved farm status was developed; that is, the operations where the farm (or nonfarm) status agreed between the JAS and the census were used to develop a missing data model, which was then used to resolve farm status. The final missing data model was used to impute the probability that each of the agricultural operations with unresolved farm status is a farm. For the resolved farms and nonfarms, the probability of the operation being a farm was 1 and 0, respectively. Five-fold cross-validation was used to develop and to compare competing models. The accuracy of the model was thereby not overstated due to fitting and evaluating the model on the same set of data. To ensure that each of the cross-validation samples covered the U.S., the five cross-validation samples of JAS segments were drawn within State-stratum combinations. Characteristics of the JAS tracts were considered as potential covariates in the model. Because limited information is available for JAS nonfarm tracts, county-level socio-demographic variables from the most recent U.S. population census were also considered. The sample weight associated with each JAS tract was multiplied by the probability of being a farm. This adjusted weight was used in all subsequent modeling. Capture Probabilities 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 so that the probability of capture pC may be written as pC = p(CML, Responded, Farm on Census|Farm)= p(CML|Farm)p(Responded|CML, Farm)p(Farm on Census|CML, Responded, Farm) The probability of capturing a farm depends 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. Note 1: Responses were required for Must cases. These operations were only included in modeling the probability of a farm being on the CML. Consequently, the weight associated with a Must record was the reciprocal of the probability of a farm being on the CML. Note 2: Two sets of models were created. One set estimated the probability of capture for Texas farms. The other set provided estimated capture probabilities for farms in the remaining States, except for Alaska. Note 3: Because Alaska is not included in the JAS and thus has no area frame, the Alaskan agricultural operations were not included in the capture- recapture process. No adjustments were made for undercoverage or misclassification. To account for nonresponse, the CML records were divided into three groups: (1) the Must records, (2) the Criteria Records, and (3) the remaining CML records. The must records received a weight of one, thereby receiving no adjustment for nonresponse. The probability of response for each of the other two groups was the proportion of responders within the group. Each record within the group was then given a weight equal to the reciprocal of the probability of response. Misclassification 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. Thus, a final logistic model was developed. Given that an operation was classified as a farm on the CML, the probability of its being a farm was modeled based on its characteristics. Five-fold cross-validation was used to ensure that the model was not over-fitted. CALIBRATION Each operation identified as being in-scope 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. The record weighting processes were initially applied at the State level to produce adjusted estimates of farm numbers and land in farms for 63 different categories of 8 characteristics of the farm operation or the farm operator -- value of agricultural sales (8); age (2); female; race (4); Hispanic origin of principal farm operator ; 4 sales categories for each of 10 major commodities (40); and farm type groups (7). The State-level number of farms and land in farms were two additional adjusted estimates, resulting in 65 categories. To reduce the intercensal variation at the State level, the State targets were smoothed by averaging the 2012 estimates from capture-recapture and the published 2007 state estimates with the restrictions that the smoothed targets were within one standard error of the capture-recapture estimates. The smoothed State targets were rescaled so that they summed to the national capture-recapture estimates. These State 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 over- adjusted 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 or from NASS surveys of nonfarm populations (e.g. USDA Farm Service Agency program data, Agricultural Marketing Service market orders, livestock slaughter data, cotton ginning data). 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. Commodity coverage targets with acceptable ranges were established by subject-matter experts for each State, with New England treated as a State. Each State was calibrated separately. The calibration algorithm addressed commodity coverage. The algorithm was controlled by the 65 State farm operation coverage targets and the State commodity coverage targets. To ensure that the calibration process converged with so many constraints, it was desirable to provide some tolerance ranges for each target. Although full calibration to a single point estimate would assure that the weighted total among census respondents equaled its target for each calibration variable in either set, it was not always possible to calibrate to such a large number of target values while ensuring that farm weights were within a reasonable range and not less than one. Because of this and because calibration targets are estimates themselves 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. This tolerance strategy made it possible for the calibration algorithm to produce a set of satisfactory, adjusted weights. Ranges for the farm operation coverage targets were determined differently from the commodity targets. The State target for number of farms had no tolerance range. The tolerance range for the 64 other State farm operation coverage targets was the estimated smoothed State total for the variable plus or minus one-half of the standard error of the capture-recapture estimate. This choice limited the cumulative deviation from the estimated total for a variable when State totals were summed to a U.S. level total. The commodity target tolerance ranges were determined by subject-matter experts, based on the amount of confidence in the source, and usually were less than plus or minus two percent of the target. Ranges were not necessarily symmetric around the target value. Census data collection was assumed to be complete for very large and unique farms with their weight being controlled to 1 during the calibration adjustment process. For all other farms, adjustment weights were obtained using truncated linear calibration which forced the final census record weights to fall in the interval [1,6]. Adjustments began with the nonresponse and misclassification adjusted weights. Through calibration, a second stage weight that simultaneously satisfied all farm operation coverage and commodity coverage calibration targets was obtained. Calibration was seldom able to adjust weights so that all State targets were met. Within the calibration process, the highest priority for meeting a target was given to the number of farms, total land in farms, and top cash-receipt commodities accounting for 80 percent of the State's production. All remaining targets associated with commodities and characteristics of farms and farm operators had equal priority. If a value within the tolerance range of any variable could not be achieved in a given State, the variable was removed as a target in that State and the calibration algorithm was rerun. Weight computations in the final algorithms were performed to several decimals. Thus, the fully-adjusted weights were non-integer numbers. To ensure that all subdomains for which NASS publishes summed to their grand total, fully-adjusted weights were integerized. This eliminated the need for rounding individual cell values and ensured that marginal totals always added correctly to the grand total. As an example of how the integerization process worked, assume there were five census records in a county with final noninteger coverage weights of 2.2, for a total of 11. The integerization process randomly selected four of these records and rounded their final weight down to 2.0 and rounded the fifth record up to 3.0, for a total of 11. The proportions of selected census data items that are due to coverage, response, and classification adjustments are displayed in Tables A and C. 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. Cell suppression was used to protect the cells that were determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of information. Farm counts are not considered sensitive and are not subject to disclosure controls. Based on agency standards, data cells were determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of information if they violated either of two criteria rules. The threshold rule was violated if the data cell contained less than three operations. For example, if only one farmer produced turkeys in a county, NASS could not publish the county total for turkey inventory without disclosing that individual's information. The dominance rule was violated if the distribution of the data within the cell allowed a data user to estimate any respondent's data too closely. For example, if there are many farmers producing turkeys in a county and some of them were large enough to dominate the cell total, NASS could not publish the county total for turkey 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 were referred to as primary suppressions. 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 were properly protected in all linear relationships in all tables. These data cells were referred to as complementary suppressions. These cells were 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 could not determine whether a cell with a (D) represented a primary or a complementary suppression. Field office 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 a State or county, analysts requested an override and a different complementary cell was chosen. CENSUS QUALITY The purpose of the census of agriculture 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." 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. 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. There are many ways to measure the quality of a census. 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 meet the census definition of a farm - in fact, almost 50 percent more records than the anticipated number of qualifying farm operations were included in the 2012 CML. 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. 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. Census Response Rate 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 has been questioned recently in the literature. Because the CML contains both farm and nonfarm records, the response rate is an indicator of replying to the census data collection effort, but does not reflect whether those responding met the farm definition. The response rate for the 2012 Census of Agriculture CML is 80.1 percent as compared with a response rate of 85.2 percent for the 2007 Census of Agriculture and 88.0 for the 2002 Census of Agriculture. The 2012 Census of Agriculture response rate used the fourth response rate formula from the American Association of Public Opinion Research Response Rate Standard Definitions manual: where Cadj = number of fully and partially completed records, excluding replicated records R = number of explicit refusals NC = number of non-contacted operations O = number of other types of nonrespondents Replicated = number of replicated records U = number of operations of unknown eligibility e(U) = estimated number of operations of unknown eligibility assumed to be eligible 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. All replicated records were considered to be a form of nonresponse and were classified into other nonrespondents; in-scope status was considered immaterial. 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, nonrespondents and refusals to the NACS, records for regional office handling only, and records with Farm Service Agency or Conservation Reserve Program data 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: where e(Uh) = estimated number of operations of unknown eligibility assumed to be eligible in the hth group Cin-scope,h = the number of completed and in-scope census records in the hth group Ch = the number of completed census records in the hth group Uh = number of operations of unknown eligibility in the hth group Census Coverage As a side-product of the statistical adjustment used to account for undercoverage, nonresponse of farms on the CML, and misclassification of responses to the census, the proportion of the adjustments due to each of those factors can be derived. The percentages of final census estimates due to adjustments for undercoverage, nonresponse, and misclassification as well as the total percent adjustment for selected items are displayed in Tables A and C. MEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS PROCESS Although the census of agriculture does not inherently rely on a sample, it uses statistical procedures in compiling the CML, in its data collection procedures, in data editing and processing, and in compiling the final data. Additionally, it 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 area sample enumeration from the June Agricultural Survey. The largest contribution to error in the census estimates is due to the adjustments for nonresponse, undercoverage, misclassification, calibration and integerization. Variability in Census Estimates due to Statistical Adjustment In conducting the 2012 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 , for farms and nonfarms that were misclassified as nonfarms and farms, respectively, for calibration, and for integerization. These error measurements were developed from the standard error of the estimates at the national, State, and county levels and were expressed as coefficients of variation (CVs) at the national and State levels and as generalized coefficients of variation (GCVs) at the county levels. The standard error of an estimate is an estimate of the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the estimator. Because Texas and Alaska were modeled separately from the other States, the variances of a national-level data item for these two States were computed separately and added to the variance of that data item for the rest of the U.S. The standard error was then the square root of the total variance. In each case, standard errors were computed using the group jackknife approach. To conduct the jackknifing, k mutually exclusive and exhaustive groups of JAS segments were formed. The groups were selected using a stratified random design so that each group reflected the survey design, including State and agricultural strata within a State. In turn, each group, j = 1, 2, ..., k, was deleted and the capture- recapture estimate CRi(j) was computed for each data item i at the specified geographical level, such as nation, State, or county, using the remaining (k - 1) groups. Estimates of the variance and standard error associated with the capture-recapture estimate CRi are then, respectively, 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 country-wide coverage. Based on 2007 data, k = 10 was determined to be the largest number of groups that could be formed and still have each group provide adequate coverage within all States and agricultural strata. Thus, 10 jackknife groups were used to provide standard errors for 2012 State and national estimates. To capture the additional variability from calibration and integerization, the standard errors were computed using the calibrated, integerized capture-recapture estimates from the jackknife groups. 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 jackknife group. When the constraints of the calibration process produced an artificially small standard error, the more conservative capture-recapture standard error was used. Note that the jackknife groups must only be constructed once, and different subsets of the records were used to compute estimates and standard errors for the data items. The CV is a measure of the relative amount of error associated with the sample estimate: where SE(CRi) 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. For county-level estimates, a generalized coefficient of variation (GCVs) was determined for each estimate within a State. A generalized variance function relates a function of the variance of an estimator to a function of the estimator. Within a State, the standard error of an estimate for a data item was often found to be linearly related to the estimate of that item with an intercept of zero. Based on this modeled relationship, the GCV is the slope of the line relating the standard error to the estimate, multiplied times 100 to represent the GCV as a percentage. The standard error is the product of the CV (or GCV for county estimates) and the estimate divided by 100. As an example, if the GCV for a State is 25 percent and a county's estimate is 4, then the standard error is 25(4)/100 = 1. The standard error of an estimated data item from the census provides a measure of the error variation in the value of that estimated data item based on the possible outcomes of the census collection, including variants as to who was on the CML, who returned a census form, who was misclassified either as a farm or as a nonfarm, and the uncertainty associated with calibration and integerization. With 95 percent confidence, an estimate is within two standard errors of the true value being estimated. For this example, with 95 percent confidence, the estimate of 4 is within 2(1) = 2 of the true county value. Table B presents the fully adjusted estimates with the coefficient of variation for selected items. NONMEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS PROCESS As noted in the previous section, sampling errors can be introduced from the coverage, nonresponse and misclassification adjustment procedures. 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 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 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. 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 errors from respondent reporting. Poor instructions and ambiguous definitions lead to misreporting. Respondents may not remember accurately, may give rounded numbers, 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. Computer-assisted telephone interviewing software included immediate integrity checks of recorded responses so suspect data could be verified or corrected. In addition, each respondent's answers were checked for completeness and consistency by the complex edit and imputation system. Processing Error 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 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. Developing accurate processing methods is complicated by the complex structure of agriculture. Among the complexities are the many places to be included, the variety of 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. 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, 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. Record Matching Error 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 names received more than one report form, and some farm operators did not receive a report form. Respondents were instructed to complete one form and return all forms so the duplication could be removed. Another chance for error came when comparing June Agricultural Survey 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 triple checked to eliminate, or at least minimize, any error. NML tract operators were mailed a report form printed in a different color. In order to attempt to identify duplication, all respondents who received multiple report forms were instructed to complete the CML version and return all forms so duplication could be removed. Records in the 2012 JAS were matched to the 2012 census using probabilistic record linkage. The records of operations with unresolved farm status were reviewed by the field offices. If farm status could not be resolved, the probability of an operation being a farm was imputed using a missing data model. The uncertainty associated with this estimate, with the exception of model uncertainty, was accounted for, but errors not found through this process were not. Model Uncertainty Error Five logistic models were developed in the process of adjusting the farm numbers for undercoverage, nonresponse, and misclassification. One model estimated the probability of an agricultural operation with unresolved farm status being a farm. The remaining four models estimated the probability of coverage, response, and correct classification of farms and of nonfarms. Each model was fit independently by two people. For some models, both statisticians obtained the same model. Although the covariates in the two selected models differed some for the other logistic models, the estimated probabilities were similar, but not identical. The reported standard errors account for the variability in the parameter estimates of the selected models, but not for the additional variation due to model uncertainty. They also do not account for any bias associated with a model. Table A.

General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS REPORT FORMS Prior to release of the results from the 2007 Census of Agriculture, NASS was preparing for the 2012 Census of Agriculture. The first team established was the 2012 Census Content Team. This team was tasked with content determination and report form development. They reviewed the 2007 report form content, solicited input from internal and external customers, developed criteria for determining acceptance and/or rejection of content for the 2012 Census of Agriculture report forms, tested the effectiveness of the report forms for various modes of data collection (mail, telephone, personal interview, and electronic data reporting), and made recommendations to NASS senior executives for final determination. Throughout development NASS sought advice and input from the data user community. Integral partners included the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics, State departments of agriculture and other State government officials, Federal agency officials, land grant universities, agricultural trade associations, media, and various Community Based Organizations. NASS conducted the 2010 Census of Agriculture Content Test in early 2011. The test consisted of three phases: cognitive pretesting, national mail-out, and follow-up interviews. Results from the testing produced one final report form type -- a 24-page regionalized form with 7 versions (12-A101 thru 12- A107). The regionalized report forms include crop sections designed to facilitate reporting crops most commonly grown within a report form region. Many items in these sections are either prelisted in the tables or listed below the tables. A sample copy of the report form and instruction sheet is included in this appendix. DATA CHANGES Following are descriptions of the report form changes and their effect on the publication tables. Crop Data Changes Added items include: • Miscanthus harvested • Switchgrass harvested • Camelina harvested • Mint for tea leaves harvested • Total square feet under protection and acres in the open for nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, sod, mushrooms, vegetable seeds, and propagative materials. • Cropland acres planted to a cover crop Items listed separately on the 2012 report form that were reported in conjunction with similar crop items on the 2007 report form include: • Hay and forage crops sales • Fruit and nuts sales • Berries sales • Cut Christmas Tree value of sales • Short rotation woody crops value of sales • Maple syrup sales Livestock and Poultry Data Changes Deleted items include: • Aquaculture pounds and number sold • Bee colonies sold • Layers and pullets combined sold • Mink, including pelts • Rabbits, including pelts • Total horses sold Added items include: • Chukars inventory and number sold or moved • Guineas inventory and number sold or moved • Hungarian partridge inventory and number sold or moved • Peacocks or peahens inventory and number sold or moved • Rheas inventory and number sold or moved • Roosters inventory and number sold or moved • Type of poultry hatched • Largest number of bee colonies owned for all purposes • Largest number of honey producing bee colonies owned • Owned horses sold • Value of owned horses sold • Type of equine operation, including race track, boarding, training, riding facility, breeding service place, not a boarding facility but horses kept for others' personal use, or other Items listed individually in the 2012 report form that were reported in conjunction with similar livestock or poultry items on the 2007 report form include: • Milk from cows, value of sales • Sheep and lambs value of sales • Angora goats and kids value of sales • Milk goats and kids value of sales • Meat goats and kids and other goats and kids value of sales • Wool shorn value of sales • Mohair clipped value of sales • Milk from sheep and goats value of sales • Horses and ponies owned value of sales • Horses and ponies not owned value of sales • Horse breeding and stud fees, including semen and other equine products • Mules, burros, and donkeys value of sales • Alpacas value of sales • Llamas value of sales • Bison value of sales • Deer in captivity value of sales • Elk in captivity value of sales • Live mink and their value of sales • Live rabbits and their value of sales • Honey value of sales • Bantams • Turkeys raised for meat production and turkey brooders Economic, Energy, Land Use Practices, Selected Practices, Organic, Operator Characteristics, and Type of Organization/Legal Status Data Changes Deleted items include: • Use of more than 500 gallons of water in any one day for any purpose • Barns built before 1960 • Organic cropland harvested • Sales for organic crops • Acres used for organic production Added items include: • USDA NOP certified or exempt organic commodities value of sales • Number of unpaid workers • Layers moved under production contracts and amount received • Replacement dairy heifers moved under production contracts and amount received • Renewable energy producing systems, including solar panels, wind turbines, methane digesters, geoexchange systems, small hydro systems, biodiesel, and ethanol • Wind rights leased to others • Acres drained by tile • Acres artificially drained by ditches • Acres under a conservation easement • Cropland acres on which no-till practices were used • Cropland acres on which conservation tillage, excluding no-till, practices were used • Cropland acres on which conventional tillage practices were used • Cropland acres planted to cover crop (excluding CRP) • More than 50 percent ownership interest held by operator and/or persons related by blood, marriage, and/or adoption • Limited Liability Corporation • Type of internet service, including dial up, DSL, Cable modem, fiber optic, mobile broadband plan for computer or cell phone, satellite services, Broadband over Power Lines (BPL), or other • Acres transitioning into USDA National Organic Program organic production DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS The following definitions and explanations provide a detailed description of specific terms and phrases used in this publication. Items in the publication tables which carry the note ''See text'' also are explained. Report form section number references refer to the regional version. Many of the definitions and explanations are the same as those used in earlier censuses. Acres and quantity harvested. Crops were reported in whole acres, except for the following crops that were reported in tenths of acres: tobacco, nursery and greenhouse crops in the open, vegetables including potatoes and sweet potatoes, fruit and nut crops including land in orchards, and berries; and in Hawaii, coffee. Totals for crops reported in tenths of acres were rounded to whole acres at the aggregate level during the tabulation process. Nursery and greenhouse crops grown under glass or other protection were reported in square feet and are published in square feet. If two or more crops were harvested from the same land during the year (double cropping), the acres were counted for each crop. Therefore, the total acres of all crops harvested could exceed the acres of cropland harvested. An exception to this procedure was hay. When more than one cutting of hay was taken from the same acres, the acres were counted only once. If there were multiple cuttings of one type of hay production, e.g. two cuttings of alfalfa for dry hay, acreage was reported once but the quantity harvested includes all cuttings. Acreage cut and tons harvested for both dry hay and haylage, silage, or greenchop was reported for each crop. For interplanted crops or ''skip-row'' crops, acres were reported according to the portion of the field occupied, whether by a crop or whether it was idle land. If a crop was interplanted in an orchard or vineyard and harvested, then the entire orchard or vineyard acreage was reported under the appropriate fruit crop and the interplanted estimated crop acreage was reported under the appropriate crop. If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acres were not reported as harvested. These acres were reported in the ''land'' section on the report form under the appropriate cropland items - cropland on which all crops failed or were abandoned, cropland in cultivated summer fallow, cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil-improvement but not harvested and not pastured or grazed, or other pasture and grazing land that could have been used for crops without additional improvements. This does not include fruit and nut orchards, vineyards, berries, acres in production for cut Christmas trees, and acres in production for short rotation woody crops that were not harvested. Acreage in these commodities were included in cropland harvested whether the crop was harvested or not. Abandoned orchards were reported as cropland idle, not as harvested cropland, and the individual abandoned orchard crop acres were not reported. Crops that were only hogged or grazed were reported as "Other pasture and grazing land that could have been used for crops without additional improvements." Crop residue left in fields after the 2012 harvest and later hogged or grazed was reported as cropland harvested and not as other pasture and grazing land that could have been used for crops. Quantity harvested was not obtained for crops such as fruits and nuts, berries, vegetables and melons, and nursery and greenhouse crops. Age of operator.

In Chapter 1, table 60 data include farm characteristics for principal operator reporting one race only, table 61 data include farm characteristics reported for a maximum of three operators reporting American Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination with other races, table 62 data are reported for principal operator only, table 63 include data for a maximum of three operators for those operators that reported only one race. In Chapter 2, table 50 data are reported for a maximum of three operators reported in the operator characteristics section. The individual operators were added to the census mail list for most reservations. Those reservations that did not include all the individual operators on the census mail list were identified and the data for the entire reservation, including the data for the operators that would have met the definition of a farm, were collected on one report form. The count of reservations and the number of operators that were reported on these reservations are included in Appendix A, Table D. Amount from State and local government agricultural program payments. See Total income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes and expenses. Amount from Conservation Reserve, Wetlands Reserve, Farmable Wetlands, and Conservation Reserve Enhancement Programs. See Land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). Amount spent to repay CCC loans. This is a new item for 2012. Farming operations that receive a CCC loan can use cash to repay the loan, purchase certificates for use in the repayment, or deliver the pledged collateral as full payment at maturity. If a farmer uses cash instead of certificates to repay the loan, the farmer and the IRS receive an information return showing the market gain realized. The farmer can repay the loan to the CCC and then sell the grain, feed the grain, or store it. These provisions only apply until the maturity date of the loan. After the maturity date of the loan, the entire original loan principal and all accrued interest must be repaid or, as an alternative choice, the crop may be forfeited to CCC. Any poultry sold. The number of farms with any poultry sold includes all farms with sales of poultry, poultry hatched, or eggs. Aquaculture. Aquaculture is defined as the farming of fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other aquaculture products. The aquaculture production reported in the census requires some form of intervention in the rearing process and requires inputs such as seeding, stocking, feeding, protection from predators, etc. It also requires ownership of the stock being cultivated and harvesting that is conducted in a controlled environment by the operation. The value of sales include all sizes and eggs by species and includes aquaculture distributed for restoration, conservation, or recreational purposes, such as State and Federal hatcheries. Distributed fish with unknown values were assigned a value based on sales of farm-raised fish. Aquaculture value. See Aquaculture. Bantams. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007 bantams were reported as other poultry. See layers. Bees. See Colonies of bees and Honey collected. Berries. In 2012, the value of sales was collected; in 2007 it was combined with fruits and nuts. Biodiesel. See Renewable energy producing systems. Breeding livestock. See Total farm production expenses. By economic class. See Economic class of farms. Camelina. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007 and previous censuses, data were included in other field crops. Other field crops data are comparable. Cattle on feed. Cattle on feed is defined as cattle and calves that were fed a ration of grain or other concentrates that will be shipped directly from the feedlot to the slaughter market and are expected to produce a carcass that will grade select or better. This category excludes cattle that were pastured only, background feeder cattle, and veal calves. Cattle on feed sold. Data are for cattle on feed sold that weighed 500 pounds or more and were shipped directly from the feedlot to the slaughter market. This category excludes cattle that were pastured only, owned cattle that were shipped from feedlots operated by others, background feeder cattle, and veal calves. Chemicals applied. For each type of chemical used, the acres treated were reported only once even if the acres were treated more than once. If multi- purpose chemicals were used, the acres treated for each purpose were reported. See Total farm production expenses; Chemicals. Cherries. Cherries were reported as either sweet cherries or tart cherries. Combined crops or non-specified cherry acres were not options for the respondent. Total acres, bearing age acres, and nonbearing age acres were reported for each crop. Christmas trees, cut. Data are for acres of Christmas trees in production, either cut or to be cut, the number of these acres that were irrigated, and the number of trees cut along with the value of sales of the harvested trees. Christmas trees, live. These data were reported as nursery stock. They are generally sold as balled and burlapped trees from the operation. Chukars. (Chukkars) This is a new item for 2012. In 2007, chukars were reported as other poultry. Coffee. Data were collected only in Hawaii. Colonies of bees. Colonies of bees were tabulated in the county where the bees' owner had the largest value of all agricultural products raised or produced. Colonies are often moved from farm-to-farm over a wide geographic area. Package bees are not included as separate colonies. Colonies of bees were collected in their own section to clarify to respondents that only "owned" colonies were to be reported versus any colonies on the operation. Published colonies inventory is the total number of colonies owned on December 31, 2012. Commodities raised and delivered under production contracts. A production contract is an agreement between a producer or grower and a contractor (integrator) setting terms, conditions, and fees to be paid by the contractor to the operation for the production of crops, livestock, or poultry. The grower receives a payment or fee from the contractor, generally after delivery, which is less than the full market price of the commodity. A production contract involves the shifting of some risk and control from the grower to the contractor. Marketing contracts, futures contracts, forward contracts, or other contracts based strictly on price are not considered production contracts. Commodities sold to a co-op where some of the input items were purchased from the same co-op at a discount price were also excluded. Many operations produce commodities only under production contracts or only independently. Some operations may produce a commodity under production contract and also produce more of the same commodity that they sell independently. The production contract data are totals for the portion of agriculture production raised and delivered under production contract. Crops and livestock inventory, production, and value of sales are the total of all production, both independent and raised under production contract. Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter under a production contract. Cattle under production contract which were not shipped directly to slaughter were reported in either replacement dairy heifers under production contract or in the Other cattle, sheep, livestock, or poultry under production contract category. Layers under production contract. The production contract is based on eggs, but the layers are owned by the contractor and are also under contract. The layers are 'produced' at the pullet farm, which may have a separate production contract. This is a new item for 2012. Replacement dairy heifers under production contract. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007, replacement dairy heifers were included in "Other cattle, livestock, poultry, or aquaculture under production contract." Other cattle, sheep, livestock, or poultry under production contract. The data for commodities raised and delivered under a production contract include cattle which were not shipped directly to slaughter (backgrounding), sheep, livestock, and poultry not listed separately. Layers and replacement dairy heifers were included in 2007, but were reported individually on the 2012 report form. Data are not comparable to 2007. Vegetables, melons, and potatoes under production contract. This category is the number of farms that produced and delivered vegetables, melons, and potatoes grown under a production contract. Other crops under production contract. Data are for the total number of farms that have production contracts for other crops. This category includes all crops except grains, oilseeds, vegetables, melons, and potatoes. Commodity Credit Corporation loans. This category includes nonrecourse marketing loans for wheat, corn, sorghum, barley, oats, cotton, rice, soybeans, Austrian winter peas, honey, dry edible peas, lentils, small chickpeas, peanuts, sunflower seed, flaxseed, canola and other rapeseed, safflower, mustard seed, crambe, sesame seed, wool and mohair. These commodities differ from those included in the 2007 census due to changes created by the 2008 Farm Bill. Crop and livestock insurance payments received. See Total income from farm- related sources, gross before taxes and expenses. Crop units of measure. The regional report forms allowed the operator to report the quantity of field crops harvested in a unit of measure commonly used in the region. When the operator reported in units different than the unit of measure published, the quantity harvested was converted to the published unit of measure. Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity harvested are for the calendar year 2012 except for citrus crops and sugarcane for sugar; limes in region three States; avocados in Florida and California; olives in California and Arizona; and pineapples and coffee in Hawaii. 1. Avocados. The data for Florida relate to the quantity in the April 2012 through March 2013 harvest season; for California and Arizona, the November 2011 through November 2012 harvest season. 2. Citrus crops. The data for region three relate to the quantity harvested in the September 2011 through August 2012 harvest season, except limes that were harvested in the April 2012 through March 2013 harvest season. The data for California and Arizona relate to the 2011 through 2012 harvest season. 3. Olives. The data for California and Arizona relate to the September 2011 through March 2012 harvest season. 4. Pineapples. The data for Hawaii relate to the quantity harvested in the year ending May 31, 2012. 5. Sugarcane for sugar. The data for Florida, Louisiana, and Texas relate to the cuttings from September 2012 through April 2013. Cropland, harvested. See Harvested cropland. Cropland idle or used for cover crops or soil improvement, but not harvested and not pastured or grazed. Cropland idle includes any other acreage which could have been used for crops without any additional improvement and which was not reported as cropland harvested, cropland on which all crops failed, cropland in summer fallow, or other pasture or grazing land that could have been used for crops without additional improvements. This category includes: 1. Land used for cover crops or soil improvement but not harvested or grazed. 2. Land in Federal or State conservation programs that was not hayed or grazed in 2012. 3. Land occupied with growing crops for harvest in 2013 or later years but not harvested or summer fallowed in 2012 (except fruit or nuts in an orchard, grove, or vineyard or berries being maintained for production). Examples are acreage planted in winter wheat, strawberries, etc., for harvest in 2013 and no crop was harvested from these acres in 2012. 4. Land in "skipped" rows between rows of crops or field strips. Cropland, irrigated. See Irrigated land. Cropland, other. See Other cropland. Cropland, total. See Total cropland. Cropland used only for pasture or grazing. See Other pasture and grazing land that could have been used for crops without additional improvements. Crustaceans. These are invertebrate animals with jointed legs and a hard shelled segmented body. Examples include crawfish, lobster, prawns, shrimp, and softshell crabs. Custom fed cattle shipped directly for slaughter. See Commodities raised and delivered under production contract. Customwork and custom hauling. See Total farm production expenses. Customwork and other agricultural services. See Total income from farm- related sources, gross before taxes and expenses. Cuttings, seedlings, liners, and plugs. See Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, sod, mushrooms, vegetable seeds, and propagative materials. Cut Christmas trees. See Christmas trees, cut. Depreciation expenses claimed. The calculation of total farm production expenses does not include depreciation because it is a capital expense. Depreciation allows the expensing of capital purchases over multiple years. It is not included in the calculation of Net cash farm income of the operation and operator. Ducks, geese, and other miscellaneous poultry. See Miscellaneous poultry. Economic class of farms. Economic class data are the classification of farms by the sum of market value of agricultural products sold and federal farm program payments. See Total market value of agricultural products sold and government payments. Energy. See Renewable energy producing systems. Ethanol. See Renewable energy producing systems. Expenses. See Total farm production expenses. Farm or ranch operator. See Operator characteristics. Farms by age and primary occupation of operator. Data on age and primary occupation were obtained from up to three operators per farm. When compared with 2007 results, the average age of farmers increased slightly. Older operators may be "retired" (with little if any sales) and still report farming as their primary occupation since they often have limited opportunity for off-farm jobs. See Primary occupation of the operator. Farms by combined government payments and market value of agricultural products sold. This category represents the value of products sold plus government payments. Total value of products sold combines total sales not under production contract and total sales under production contract. Government payments consist of government payments received from the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) plus government payments received from Federal, State, and local programs other than the CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP, and Commodity Credit Corporation loans. See Total market value of agricultural products sold and government payments. The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) program allows producers to enroll a farm in the program based upon an agreement to forgo counter- cyclical payments, receive a 20 percent reduction in their direct payments, and a reduction in their marketing assistance loan (MAL) rates by 30 percent for all commodities produced on the farm. The ACRE program provides eligible producers with state level revenue guarantees based on the 5-year state average yield and the 2-year national average price. The program is designed to provide revenue support to farmers as an alternative to the price support that farmers are use to receiving from commodity programs. Farms by economic class. See Economic class of farms and Total market value of agricultural products sold and government payments Farms by legal status. All farms were classified by legal status in the 2012 census. In 2007 this category was referred to as Farms by type of organization. This section collects information for federal tax purposes to determine an operation's legal status. The classifications used were: 1. Family or individual (sole proprietorship), excluding partnership and corporation. 2. Partnership, including family partnership - in selected tables, partnership was further subclassified into: a. Registered under State law. b. Not registered under State law. 3. Corporation, including family corporations - in selected tables, partnership was further subclassified into: a. Family held or other than family held. b. More than 10 stockholders. 4. Other, cooperative, estate or trust, institutional, etc. Farms by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The NAICS classifies economic activities. It was jointly developed by Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. NAICS makes it possible to produce comparable industrial statistics for Mexico, Canada, and the U.S. For the 2012 census, all agricultural production establishments (farms, ranches, nurseries, greenhouses, etc.) were classified by type of activity or activities using the NAICS code. The 2012 census is the fourth census to use NAICS. Censuses prior to the 1997 census used the old Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to classify farms. NAICS was developed to provide a consistent framework for the collection, analysis, and dissemination of industrial statistics used by government policy analysts, academia and researchers, the business community, and the public. It is the first industry classification system developed in accordance with a single principle of aggregation that production units using similar production processes should be grouped together. Though NAICS differs from other industry classification systems, statistics compiled on NAICS are comparable with statistics compiled according to the latest revision of the United Nations' International Standard Industrial Classification, Revision Three, (ISIC, Revision 3) for some sixty high level groupings. Following are explanations of the major classifications used in 2012. Oilseed and grain farming (1111). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing oilseed and/or grain crops and/or (2) producing oilseed and grain seeds. These crops have an annual life cycle and are typically grown in open fields. This category includes corn silage and grain silage. Vegetable and melon farming (11121). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) growing vegetables and/or melon crops, (2) producing vegetable and melon seeds, and (3) growing vegetable and/or melon bedding plants. Fruit and tree nut farming (1113). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing fruit and/or tree nut crops. These crops are generally not grown from seeds and have a perennial life cycle. Greenhouse, nursery, and floriculture production (1114). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in growing crops of any kind under cover and/or growing nursery stock and flowers. ''Under cover'' is generally defined as greenhouses, cold frames, cloth houses, and lath houses. Crops grown are removed at various stages of maturity and have annual and perennial life cycles. The category includes short rotation woody crops and Christmas trees that have a growing and harvesting cycle of 10 years or less. Other crop farming (1119). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing crops such as tobacco, cotton, sugarcane, hay, sugarbeets, peanuts, agave, herbs and spices, and hay and grass seeds, or (2) growing a combination of the valid crops with no one crop or family of crops accounting for one-half of the establishment's agricultural production (value of crops for market). Crops not included in this category are oilseeds, grains, vegetables and melons, fruits, tree nuts, greenhouse, nursery and floriculture products. All other crop farming (11199). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in (1) growing crops (except oilseeds and/or grains; vegetables and/or melons; fruits and/or tree nuts; greenhouse, nursery, and/or floriculture products; tobacco; cotton; sugarcane; or hay) or (2) growing a combination of crops (except a combination of oilseed(s) and grain(s)); and a combination of fruit(s) and tree nut(s) with no one crop or family of crops accounting for one-half of the establishment's agricultural production. Beef cattle ranching and farming (112111). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising cattle (including cattle for dairy herd replacements). Pastureland-only farms, those with only 100 or more acres of pastureland, were classified as "All other animal production farming (11299)." Cattle feedlots (112112). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in feeding cattle for fattening. Dairy cattle and milk production (112120). This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in milking dairy cattle. Poultry and egg production (1123). This industry group comprises establishments primarily engaged in breeding, hatching, and raising poultry for meat or egg production. Sheep and goat farming (1124). This industry group comprises establish- ments primarily engaged in raising sheep, lambs, and goats, or feeding lambs for fattening. Animal aquaculture (1125). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in the farm raising of finfish, shellfish, or any other kind of animal aquaculture. These establishments use some form of intervention in the rearing process to enhance production, such as holding in captivity, regular stocking, feeding, and protecting from predators. Other animal production (1129). Comprises establishments primarily engaged in raising animals and insects (except cattle, hogs and pigs, poultry, sheep and goats, and aquaculture) for sale or product production. These establishments are primarily engaged in one of the following: bees, horses and other equine, rabbits and other fur-bearing animals, etc, and producing products such as honey and other bee products. Establishments primarily engaged in raising a combination of animals with no one animal or family of animals accounting for one-half of the establishment's agricultural production are included in this industry group. Farms with only 100 acres or more of pastureland were classified as "All other animal production farming (11299)". Farms by number of households sharing in net income of farm. Data were reported by the principal operator only. Households that received funds because they were only landlords, custom equipment operators, or provided other production services were not included. Published data can exceed the number of operators listed under Operators, all. Farms by size. All farms were classified into size groups according to the total land area in the farm. The land area of a farm is an operating unit concept and includes land owned and operated as well as land rented from others. Land rented to or assigned to a tenant was considered part of the tenant's farm and not part of the owner's. Farms by tenure of operator. All farms were classified by tenure of operators. The classifications used were: • Full owners operated only land they owned. • Part owners operated land they owned and also land they rented from others. • Tenants operated only land they rented from others or worked on shares for others. Farms with hired managers are classified according to the land ownership characteristics reported. For example, a corporation owns all the land used on the farm and hires a manager to run the farm. The hired manager is considered the farm operator, and the farm is classified with a tenure type of "full owner" even though the hired manager owns none of the land he/she operates. Farms by type of organization. This is a new item for 2012. The data categorizes an operation's ownership and legal farming status. Operation with 50 percent or more ownership interest held by operator and/or persons related by blood, marriage, or adoption. The data are used to measure the principal operator ownership interest in the organization. Limited Liability Corporation. This type of farm structure combines the pass- through taxation of a partnership or sole proprietorship with the limited liability of a corporation. Farms by value of sales. See Market value of agricultural products sold. Farms or farms reporting. The terms ''farms'' and ''farms reporting'' in the presentation of data are equivalent. Both represent the number of farms reporting the item. For example, if there are 3,710 farms in a State and 842 of them had 28,594 cattle and calves, the data for those farms reporting cattle and calves would appear as: Cattle and calves farms . . . . . 842 number . . . 28,594 Farms with sales and government payments of less than $1,000. This category includes farms with combined sales and government payments of less than $1,000 but having the potential for sales of $1,000 or more. It provides information on all items for farms that normally would be expected to sell agricultural products of $1,000. Farms with sales of less than $1,000. This category includes farms with sales of less than $1,000 but having the potential for sales of $1,000 or more. Some of these farms had no sales in the census year. It provides information on all report form items for farms that normally would be expected to sell agricultural products of $1,000 or more. Fertilizer. See Total farm production expenses; Fertilizer, lime, and soil conditioners. Field and grass seed crops, all. Data are for all the field and grass seed crops not published as field crops and include field seed crops which did not have a specific code on the 2012 report form. Foliage plants, indoor (including hanging baskets). For 2012, (including hanging baskets) was added to the description for clarity. Data are comparable. Forage - land used for all hay and all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop. Data shown represent the area harvested with each acre counted only once if dry hay, haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were cut from the same acreage or if there were multiple cuttings of dry hay, haylage, grass silage, or greenchop. Data exclude corn silage and sorghum silage. Quantity produced is the sum of the quantity harvested of all hay including alfalfa, other tame, small grain, and wild hay and all haylage, grass silage and greenchop after converting the all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity harvested to a dry equivalent basis (13-percent moisture). The green tons of all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop harvested were multiplied by a factor of 0.4943 to convert to a dry equivalent. This conversion factor is based on the assumption that one ton of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry matter, one ton of haylage or grass silage is 0.45 ton dry matter, and one ton of greenchop is 0.25 ton dry matter. The all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity harvested is assumed to be comprised of 90-percent haylage and grass silage and 10-percent greenchop. Therefore, the conversion factor used to adjust all haylage, grass silage, and greenchop quantity harvested to a dry equivalent basis = [(0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1)]/0.87 = 0.4943. Fruits and nuts tree. Total acres, bearing age acres, and nonbearing age acres were collected. In 2012, the value of sales was collected; in 2007, it was combined with berries. Geoexchange system. See Renewable energy producing systems Government payments. This category consists of direct payments as defined by the 2008 Farm Bill; payments from Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), and Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP); loan deficiency payments; disaster payments; other conservation programs; and all other federal farm programs under which payments were made directly to farm operators. Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) proceeds, amount from State and local government agricultural program payments, and federal crop insurance payments were not tabulated in this category. The Average Crop Revenue Election (ACRE) Program is a program administered by USDA's Farm Service Agency (FSA). Producers can sign up for this optional, revenue-based counter-cyclical program, which is an alternative to receiving counter-cyclical payments (CCPs). Grain and bean combines. Data were collected for self-propelled combines only. Grain storage capacity. Data include the capacity of all storage structures on the operation and normally used to store whole grains, oilseeds, and pulse crops. These structures can be bins, silos, buildings, trailers, etc. The capacity or usage of any off-farm public or commercial storage facilities was excluded. For 2012, pulse crops text was added to the Grain Storage screener question for clarity. Pulse crops include dry beans, dry peas, lentils, lupines, and other minor pulse crops. Data are comparable. Grains, oilseeds, dry beans, and dry peas sales. Data are for the total market value of cash grains sold, including corn for grain, seed, or silage; wheat for grain; soybeans for beans; sorghum for grain, seed, or silage; barley for grain; rice; oats for grain; and other grains. Also included is the total market value of cash oilseeds sold, including sunflower seed (oil and non-oil), flaxseed, canola, rapeseed, safflower seed, mustard seed, dry beans, and dry peas. Greenhouse fruits and berries. Data include strawberries, raspberries, etc. grown in greenhouses and high tunnels where the crops were always covered. See Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, sod, mushrooms, vegetable seeds, and propagative materials. Gross cash rent or share payments. See Total income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes and expenses. Guineas. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007, guineas were reported as other poultry. Harvested cropland. This category includes land from which crops were harvested and hay was cut, land used to grow short-rotation woody crops, Christmas trees, and land in orchards, groves, vineyards, berries, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land from which two or more crops were harvested was counted only once. Land in tapped maple trees was included in woodland not pastured. The 2012 census definition for harvested cropland is the same as the 2007 definition. Hay, all hay including alfalfa, other tame, small grain, and wild. Data shown represent the acreage and quantity harvested of all types of dry hay. The quantity harvested was reported in dry tons (dry weight at the time the hay was removed from the field for storage or feeding). If two or more cuttings of dry hay were made from the same field, the acreage was reported only once as acres harvested of the appropriate dry hay category, but the production from all dry hay cuttings was combined in the corresponding quantity harvested. Straw acreage and production is excluded. If dry hay was cut from the same land that haylage, grass silage, or greenchop was cut, the acreage and production for the dry hay was reported in the appropriate category of dry hay and the acreage and production for haylage, grass silage, or greenchop was reported in the appropriate haylage, grass silage, or greenchop category. For example, if 20 acres of alfalfa were cut for hay and then the same land was used to produce alfalfa haylage, 20 acres and the quantity harvested of hay were reported as Alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures for dry hay and 20 acres and the quantity harvested of alfalfa haylage were reported as Haylage or greenchop from alfalfa or alfalfa mixtures. Hay, other tame dry hay. Data shown represent acreage and dry tons of hay harvested from clover, fescue, lespedeza, timothy, Bermuda grass, Sudangrass, sorghum hay, and other types of legumes (excluding alfalfa) and tame grasses (excluding small grains). Hay, wild dry. Data shown represent acreage and dry tons of hay harvested that was predominately wild or native grasses, even if it had some fill-in seeding of other grasses. Haylage, grass silage, and greenchop, all. Data shown represent the acreage and quantity harvested of all types (alfalfa and all other). The quantity harvested was reported in green tons. If two or more cuttings of haylage, grass silage, or greenchop were made from the same field, the acreage was reported as acres harvested in the appropriate haylage category only once, and the tonnage from all cuttings was combined in the corresponding quantity harvested. Straw acreage and production is excluded. Hired farm labor. Data are for total hired farm workers, including paid family members, by number of days worked. Data exclude contract laborers. Hogs and pigs by type of operation. Hog and pig farms were classified by primary type of operation. Operation types were farrow to wean, farrow to feeder, farrow to finish, nursery, finish only, and other. Each description was accepted and the reported inventory and sales data were assigned to each reported type. Hogs and pigs by type of producer. Hog and pig farms were classified by one type of producer. Producer types were independent grower, contractor or integrator, and contract grower (contractee). Each description was accepted and the reported inventory and sales data were assigned to each reported type. Honey collected. Data are for pounds of honey collected but not necessarily sold. See Colonies of bees. Horses and ponies, owned. See "Owned horses and ponies." Hungarian partridge. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007, Hungarian partridge were reported as other poultry. Income. Net cash farm income is published for the operation and operator. The difference between net cash income and net cash returns is that net cash returns does not include government payments and other farm-related income as income. See Net cash farm income of the operations and Net cash farm income of the operators. Income from farm-related sources. See Total income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes and expenses. Institutional, research, experimental, and American Indian Reservation farms. Data for these farms are combined into a single category. Research farms include farms operated by private companies as well as those operated by universities, colleges, and government organizations for the purpose of expanding agricultural knowledge. Irrigated land. This category includes all land watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as sprinklers, flooding, furrows or ditches, sub- irrigation, and spreader dikes. Included are supplemental, partial, and preplant irrigation. Each acre was counted only once regardless of the number of times it was irrigated or harvested. If an operation reported less than one acre irrigated, the irrigated land for the operation was rounded to one acre. Livestock lagoon waste water distributed by sprinkler or flood systems was also included. Land area, approximate. The approximate land area represents the total land area as determined by records and calculations as of January 1, 2012. The proportion of land area in farms may exceed 100-percent because some operations have land in two or more counties, but all acres are tabulated in the principal county of operation. The approximate land area data were supplied by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. See Land in two or more counties. Land enrolled in crop insurance programs. The data are for all land enrolled in any Federal, private or other crop insurance program. It includes acreage of pasture/rangeland enrolled in crop insurance programs in areas where it is provided. Data are comparable with 2007. Land enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP), Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP), Farmable Wetlands Program (FWP), or Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP). CRP is a program established by the USDA in 1985 that takes land prone to erosion out of production for 10 to 15 years and devotes it to conservation uses. In return, farmers receive an annual rental payment for carrying out approved conservation practices on the conservation acreage. The WRP, FWP, and CREP programs are included under the Conservation Reserve Program and offers landowners financial incentives for conservation practices. Operations with land enrolled in the CRP, WRP, FWP, or CREP were counted as farms, given they received $1,000 or more in government payments, even if they had no sales and otherwise lacked the potential to have $1,000 or more in sales. Land in berries. Data are for total land in berries. Respondents also reported harvested acres and not harvested acres by individual berry crops. Land in farms. The acreage designated as ''land in farms'' consists primarily of agricultural land used for crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes woodland and wasteland not actually under cultivation or used for pasture or grazing, provided it was part of the farm operator's total operation. Large acreages of woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural purposes were deleted from individual reports during the edit process. Land in farms includes CRP, WRP, FWP, and CREP acres. 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 reported as land rented from others. All grazing land, except land used under government permits on a per-head basis, was included as ''land in farms'' provided it was part of a farm or ranch. Land under the exclusive use of a grazing association was reported by the grazing association and included as land in farms. All land in American Indian reservations used for growing crops, grazing livestock, or with the potential of grazing livestock was included as land in farms. Land in reservations not reported by reservation, individual American Indians, or non-Native Americans was reported in the name of the cooperative group that used the land. In many instances, an entire American Indian reservation was reported as one farm. Land in orchards. This category includes land in bearing age and nonbearing age fruit trees, citrus or other groves, vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, including land on which all fruit crops failed. Respondents also reported bearing age acres and nonbearing age acres by individual fruit and nut crops. Respondents were instructed not to report abandoned plantings and plantings of fewer than 20 total fruit, citrus, or nut trees or grapevines. Land in two or more counties. With few exceptions, the land in each farm was tabulated as being in the operator's principal county. The principal county was defined as the one where the largest value of agricultural products was raised or produced. It was usually the county containing all or the largest proportion of the land in the farm or viewed by the respondent as his/her principal county. Reports received showing land in more than one county were separated into two or more reports if the data would substantially distort county totals. Land use practices. This is a new category for 2012. It includes all agricultural land used for the production of agricultural commodities. Drained by tile. Tile drainage is a practice that removes excess water from the soils subsurface. Artificially drained by ditches. A field ditch installed for surface drainage for collecting excess surface or subsurface water in a field. Conservation easement. A conservation easement is a legal agreement voluntarily entered into by a property owner and a qualified conservation organization such as a land trust or government agency No-till practices used. Using no-till or minimum till is a practice used for weed control and helps reduce weed seed germination by not disturbing the soil. Conservation tillage. Conserves the soil by reducing erosion and decreasing water pollution. Conventional tillage. Refers to tillage operations that use standard practices for a specific location and crop to bury crop residues. Cover crop. A crop planted primarily to manage soil fertility, soil quality, water, weeds, pests, diseases, or wildlife. Land used for vegetables. Data are for the total land used for vegetable and melon crops. The acres were reported only once, even though two or more harvests of a vegetable or more than one vegetable were harvested from the same acres. Respondents also reported harvested acres, acres harvested for fresh market, and acres harvested for processing by individual vegetable crops. Landlord's share of the total sales. Data represent the share of the operation's total sales that went to landlord(s). Layers. This category includes table-egg type layers, hatching layers for meat-types, hatching layers for table egg types, and reported bantams. Legal status for tax purposes. See Farms by legal status. Less than $1,000. See Farms with sales and government payments of less than $1,000. Livestock and poultry purchased or leased. See Total farm production expenses; Livestock and poultry purchased or leased. Maple syrup. Data are for the number of taps set, syrup produced, and value of sales. Market value of agricultural products sold. This category represents the gross market value before taxes and production expenses of all agricultural products sold or removed from the place in 2012 regardless of who received the payment. It is equivalent to total sales and it includes sales by the operators as well as the value of any shares received by partners, landlords, contractors, or others associated with the operation. It includes value of direct sales and the value of commodities placed in the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) loan program. Market value of agricultural products sold does not include payments received for participation in other federal farm programs. Also, it does not include income from farm-related sources such as customwork and other agricultural services, or income from nonfarm sources. The value of crops sold in 2012 does not necessarily represent the sales from crops harvested in 2012. Data may include sales from crops produced in earlier years and may exclude some crops produced in 2007 but held in storage and not sold. For commodities such as sugarbeets and wool sold through a co- op that made payments in several installments, respondents were requested to report the total value received in 2012. The value of agricultural products sold was requested of all operators. If the operators failed to report this information, estimates were made based on the amount of crops harvested, livestock or poultry inventory, or number sold. Caution should be used when comparing sales in the 2012 census with sales reported in earlier censuses. Sales figures are expressed in current dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation. See Farms with sales and government payments of less than $1,000. Market value of agricultural products sold and government payments. See Total market value of agricultural products sold and government payments. Methane digesters. See Renewable energy producing systems. Migrant farm labor on farms reporting only contract labor. Data are for those operations that did not have hired farm workers but reported that they did have migrant contract workers on their operation in 2012. Migrant farm labor on farms with hired labor. Operators were asked whether any hired or contract workers were migrant workers. A migrant farm worker is a farm worker whose employment required travel that prevented the worker from returning to his/her permanent place of residence the same day. Migrant workers, total. This is a new item for 2012. The 2007 census did not collect a total. Data are for total migrant farm workers whose employment requires travel that prevents the worker from returning to his or her permanent place of residence the same day.

This is a new item for 2012. In 2007 and previous censuses, data were included in other field crops. Miscanthus. This is a new item for 2012. In 2007 and previous censuses, data were included in other field crops. Miscellaneous poultry. Poultry other than chickens or turkeys. Listed in Chapter 2, table 20. Misreported or miscoded crops. In a few cases, data may have been reported on the wrong line, in the wrong section, or the wrong crop code may have been assigned to a write-in crop code. A few of these errors may not have been identified and corrected during processing which resulted in rare cases of inaccurately tabulated data. Reports with significant acres of unusual crops for the area were examined to minimize the possibility that they were in error. Mollusks. These are invertebrate animals with a soft body covering and shells of 1-18 parts or sections. Examples include abalones, clams, mussels, oysters, and snails. See Aquaculture for more information on production reported on the census. More than one race reported. This category represents those operators who chose to report more than one race on the census form. Mushroom spawn. Respondents reported only sales; growing area was not summarized. Mushrooms. All mushroom crops were considered grown under glass or other protection and no mushroom data were published as area in the open. Those reporting mushrooms grown in the open area were converted to an equivalent area of square feet under protection proportional to their sales. NAICS. See Farms by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Net cash farm income of the operations. This concept is derived by subtracting total farm expenses from total sales, government payments, and other farm-related income. Depreciation is not used in the calculation of net cash farm income. Net cash farm income of the operation includes the value of commodities produced under production contract by the contract growers. For publication purposes, farms are divided into two categories: 1. Farms with net gains (includes those operations that broke even). 2. Farms with net losses. Net cash farm income of the operators. This value is the operators' total revenue (fees for producing under a production contract, total sales not under a production contract, government payments, and farm-related income) minus total expenses paid by the operators. Net cash farm income of the operator includes the payments received for producing under a production contract and does not include value of commodities produced under production contract by the contract growers. Depreciation is not used in the calculation of net cash farm income. For publication purposes, farms are divided into two categories: 1. Farms with net gains (includes those operators that broke even). 2. Farms with net losses. Noncitrus fruit, all. This is a summation of all acres reported in the commodities defined as noncitrus such as apples, grapes, and plums. Noncitrus fruit, other. See other noncitrus fruit.

Individual crop data were collected for area under glass or other protection, area in the open, and sales of aquatic plants, floriculture and bedding crops, nursery crops, sod, propagative materials, food crops grown under protection, and mushroom crops. Total sales data are the summation of all crops. Nursery stock crops. Data include ornamentals, shrubs, shade trees, flowering trees, evergreens, live Christmas trees, fruit and nut trees and plants, vines, palms, ornamental grasses, and bare root herbaceous perennials. Nuts, all. Data include all nut trees. Occupation. See Primary occupation of operator and/or Farms by age and primary occupation of operator. Operations legal status for tax purposes. See Farms by legal status. Operator. The term operator designates a person who operates a farm, either doing the work or making day-to-day decisions about such things as planting, harvesting, feeding, and marketing. The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner's household, a hired manager, a tenant, a renter, or a sharecropper. If a person rents land to others or has land worked on shares by others, he/she is considered the operator only of the land which is retained for his/her own operation. The census collected information on the total number of operators, the total number of women operators, and demographic information for up to three operators per farm. Operator characteristics. Operators (up to three operators per farm) were asked to report primary occupation, sex, age, race, place of residence, if retired, number of days worked off farm, year in which his/her operation of the farm began, year began operating any farm, hired manager, number of persons living in the operators' households, internet access and type of services, and Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin. Information on the total number of operators and total number of women operators was collected from each operation. The principal operator was asked to report the percentage of total household income that came from the farm operation. In addition, operators two and three were asked if they were the spouse of the principal operator. Operators, number. Demographic and other information were collected for up to three operators per farm - the principal operator plus up to two additional operators. This may be fewer than the total operators on some farms. Demographic data for up to three operators reported are presented separately for women, by race categories, and for Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin.

Also included are acres of crops hogged or grazed but not harvested prior to grazing. However, cropland that was pastured before or after crops were harvested in 2012 was included as harvested cropland rather than cropland for pasture or grazing. In 2007, this category was referred to as other pasture or grazing land that could have been used for crops without additional improvements. This is a wording change only; data are comparable. Other poultry. Data are for other poultry not having a specific code on the report form. The list of poultry with specific codes changed from 2007, so data are not directly comparable. Other tame hay. See Hay, other tame dry hay. Other vegetables. Data shown for other vegetables relate to any vegetable not having a specific code on the census form. Owned horses and ponies. Only horses and ponies which are owned by the operation and sold contribute to the total value of production of the operation. Horses on the operation which are not owned and sold do not contribute to the total value of production. Therefore, the value of horses owned sold is published instead of all sold horses. This removes not owned horses sold that were not part of an operation's value of production. It is not possible to publish a value for Total horses sold in 2012 as the data were not summarized. Patronage dividends. See Total income from farm-related sources, gross before taxes and expenses. Payments received by the contractee for commodities produced under production contract.
