Farm Production Expenditures 2020 Summary (July 2021) 41

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Program History

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) has conducted periodic surveys of farm production expenditures
since 1956, and annually since 1971. In 1973, Congress required USDA to provide cost of production estimates on an
annual basis for wheat, feed grains, cotton, and dairy. Since then, other commodities were added to the cost of production
program. In 1985, the Farm Production Expenditure Survey and the Cost of Production Survey were combined and called
the Farm Costs and Returns Survey (FCRS). In 1996, the Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) replaced
the former Cropping Practices Survey (CPS) and the FCRS, which improved the efficiency of data collection. The
initiative to combine these surveys came from a growing need for more data to perform detailed comparisons of the
relationship between various production practices (such as chemical and tillage use) and farm financial conditions.

The first farm production expenditures estimation program was established in calendar year 1993. For earlier years, Farm
Production Expenditure publications included only survey indications for expenditures at the United States, regional, size
and type of farm levels. Currently, estimates are published for major groupings of farm production expenses for th e
United States, five Farm Production Regions, eight United States Economic Sales Classes, two Farm Types, the 15
Leading Cash Receipts States, and five Other State groupings.

Also, in 1993, due to increased demand for quality production input data, NASS and the Economic Research Service
(ERS) began jointly setting estimates for production input costs. This change in procedure was facilitated by the adoption
of new summary adjustments for non-response and farm coverage. The Agricultural Statistics Board establishes estimates
for major expenditure items for the current year and considers revisions for the previous year’s data. Formal release of
expense data occurs before, but in coordination with, the release of related ERS statistics such as net farm income.

One of the primary NASS uses of farm-production expenditure data is for weighting of Prices Paid Indexes. In early 1995,
NASS completed a revision of the indexes. To facilitate this process, changes were made in component items estimated in
this publication. Grazing fees were moved from the Farm Services category to Rent; Oils and Lubricants were moved
from Fuels to Farm Supplies and Repairs; Repairs and Maintenance Expenditures were moved from Other Farm
Machinery to Farm Supplies and Repairs; and Building and Fencing Materials were combined with Farm and Land
Improvements to make the Farm Improvements and Construction category. Estimates for these levels were revised back to
1990, at the United States level, to provide a more useful series for data users.

The uses of financial and demographic data collected in ARMS Phase III has widespread and significant impact on the
agriculture industry. The data collected allows ERS to develop estimates that include farm income, cost of production for
selected commodities, farm business balance sheets, farm productivity indicators, and analysis of farm financial and
household characteristics. In addition, Congress, USDA, Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), researchers, Agricultural
Extension, and agribusinesses utilize data to develop forecasts, conduct research projects, and establish and review farm
policy. The demand for quality farm expenditure and income data continues to increase as the agricultural community
becomes increasingly more complex and integrated.

Economic classification has been revised over time. Before 2002, five United States Economic Classes for Gross Value of
Sales were used in previous reports (see table below). In 2002, the United States Economic Classes were updated to be
consistent with other NASS economic publications and seven United States Economic Classes for Gross Value of Sales
were used. In 2007, a change was made to divide the largest economic class. See table below for historic economic class
publication methods.

In 2003, Congress appropriated funding for the expansion of the ARMS program. The subsequent changes included an
increased sample size, recombining of expenditure categories, fuel sub-component estimates, and a fully calibrated
summary. ERS funding was used to support ARMS data collection. Sample sizes were increased in the 15 States with the
highest cash receipts. The additional samples improved data quality and allowed for the publication of state level
estimates the following year. NASS funding restored the ARMS III sample to historical levels and restored the Field
Crops Chemical Use Program and ARMS II - Production Practices Report.

The items included in the Farm Improvement and Construction expenditure were changed in 2003 to include expenses for
the operator’s dwelling (if the dwelling is owned by the operation). Fuels expense sub-components (diesel, gasoline, LP
gas, and other) were published for the first time in 2003. Significant variations in energy prices over the last few years
have made energy usage an important issue for all consumers.

In 2004, the first expenditure estimates were published for the 15 Leading Cash Receipts States. The Farm Production
Regions were reduced from 10 to 5 regions. This change was made to allow NASS to publish state-level expenditure
estimates without disclosing data for unpublished states. The map on page 41 shows the new distribution of regions and
states.

In 2005, the Fuel sub-components sample was increased by adding the sub-component questions to two more
questionnaire versions (versions four and five) in 2005 and to all questionnaires in 2006.

In 2006, a separate line item was added to the publication: Miscellaneous Capital Expenses. Summary inconsistencies
with version five (Core) questionnaires dictated that the former Miscellaneous expense be summarized with General
Business Expense into Farms Services Expenditure.

In 2008, all eight economic classes were published for Total Farm Production Expenditures. The 2008 summary also
included a significant recalibration of the 2007 data and substantial revisions to the 2007 estimates because of farm
numbers released in the 2007 Agricultural Census. Similar data and estimate changes were seen due to the farm numbers
released in the 2012 and 2017 Census of Agriculture.

For this survey, item level nonresponse is accounted for by imputing data where there are missing values. Beginning in
2014, item level imputations are now done using a multivariate approach. Prior to the implementation of the multivariate
approach, NASS used an unweighted conditional means imputation system that placed records into homogenous groups
and imputed based off of reported data from those groups. The new multivariate approach uses a regression-based
technique that allows for flexibility in the selection of conditional models while providing a valid joint distribution. In t his
procedure, labeled as Iterative Sequential Regression (ISR), parameter estimates, and imputations are obtained using a
Markov chain Monte Carlo sampling method. Using ISR, we are better able to preserve the relationships within the data
and also allow the imputed values to better represent the variability of the data. Records with imputed data are re-edited to
ensure the returned value is acceptable. The imputation algorithm delivers an acceptable value more than 99.5 percent of
the time and Field Office statisticians are required to manually impute for any missing items.

Statistical Methodology

Survey: The 2020 Agricultural Resource Management Survey

Publication: Farm Production Expenditures 2020 Summary was released on July 30, 2021.

Data Collection: The Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS III) was conducted January through May of
2021.

Sampling: ARMS III is a multi-frame survey, which utilizes a list frame (OL)/area frame (NOL) design. The list frame
typically represents the larger, more specialized operations contributing the greater portion of the data expansions. The
area frame provides coverage for the operations that are not available for sampling from the list. Since all of the operators
on the list frame are also part of the area frame, rigorous procedures are followed to assure that operations are not double
counted. These multiple frame expansions are unbiased and provide more precise expansions than could be obtained by
using a single frame approach.

ARMS III covers a population of all farms in the 48 contiguous states (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) that meet the
official USDA definition (all establishments that sold or would normally have sold at least $1,000 of agricultural products
during the previous year). These operations include not only traditional agricultural farms such as grain farms and
ranching operations, but also specialty farms like orchards, nurseries, and aquaculture.

Sample Design stratifies the population by Farm Value of Sales (FVS). There are eight strata that collapse into fewer
strata in states that don’t have a large number of operations in the higher economic stratum and are not one of the fifteen
leading cash receipts states.

June Area Survey (JAS) area non-overlap tracts for ARMS III with June farm value of sales (FVS) $1,000 or more, after
point determination, were eligible for the 2020 ARMS sample. This includes operations that are determined to have
pasture points only.

To ensure consistent and proper execution of survey procedures in farm determination, data collection, and editing of
detailed expense, income data, and demographic data, specialized training occurred on the national and state levels prior
to the ARMS data collection period. Data are collected using electronic data reporting (EDR), mail return, and personal
enumeration.

Sample: The 2020 sample was 33,892 farms and ranches.

Questionnaires: The ARMS III Cost and Returns Report (CRR) version collects information on general farm finances,
farm expenses and income, assets, debt, farm household expenses, off-farm income, and farm operator demographic
information. The commodity-specific ARMS III Cost of Production (COP) questionnaires collect the same information as
the CRR. Additionally, these versions collect information related to the amount spent for selected expense items so that
entire farm costs can be allocated to the targeted crop or livestock enterprise.

In 2020, there was one COP commodity: Hogs. The States involved for this year were:

Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, North
Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Statistical Procedures

Survey Edit: Data were edited using both manual and automated edit procedures. Questionnaires were reviewed for
consistency, data relationships, and completeness. Past analysis has shown approximately half of all changes made by
editors were for correcting data recorded in the wrong cell. In cases where respondents were unable or unwilling to report
data for any item on the questionnaire, the field enumerators or survey statisticians can impute a value. For income cells,
debt/asset data, and a few expense items an imputation algorithm supplied data for any marked missing values based on
similar size and type of operations after all records have cleared the edit. For other expense items where no data were
reported, cells were edited by the survey statistician to a positive value based on other reported values from similar
operations, previously reported data, or other administrative sources.

Macro analysis is accomplished using the Interactive Data Analysis System (IDAS). This allows analysts to compare
groups of records to find outliers or other unusual relationships. Adjustments to the records for keying and reporting errors
are often found and corrected at this level.

Commodity Statisticians edit data along with NASS Regional Field Office (RFO) statisticians providing a ground truth
understanding of the dataset. IDAS analysis starts early on a national basis before all records are entered into the database
and cleaned of errors. Headquarters personnel review outliers, contract pricing, and profitability measures across records.
Feedback is provided to RFO editors on specific records and general procedures as record editing progresses.

Outliers: Outliers are checked for accurate data and mitigated through a review process by the Agricultural Statistics
Board (ASB). This mitigation is usually a reweighting to the median of the economic class by farm type at the state or
regional level. National expense outliers are treated on an individual basis and weighting actions are approved by the
ASB.

Calibration: Since 1992, the Direct Expansion (DE) summary has been adjusted for under coverage and total number of
farms. In 2003, a second calibrated summary was developed which uses a more robust methodology that adjusts weights
based on an increased number of target commodities. The sources for the targets are official USDA-NASS estimates.
Additional targets may be added to control for commodities in the COP questionnaire versions. The sample weights are
calibrated to these targets to ensure that farms of all sizes are properly represented in the survey results and that their
economic activity is fully representative of the farm population.

Estimation: The implementation of the estimates analysis tool Review, Estimation, Comment, Analysis, and Publication
(RECAP) was completed in 2018. RECAP improvements have enabled the establishment and revision of some 1,360
estimates now contained in this publication. The RECAP tools provide more administrative data, charting, and sample
coverage data analysis to NASS statisticians when completing summary review.

Expenditure estimates are set on the state-level for states that have large samples and high agricultural production. These
states are Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North
Carolina, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. As a final estimate step, state expenditure estimates are reviewed and
commented on by the 15 Estimate States. All other states are grouped by region and an estimate is set. These are used by
ERS to develop the value-added tables.

After data are summarized, a combined NASS/ERS Board is used for outlier treatment and confirmation of National
Expenditure Estimates. This board procedure is consistent with the procedure used to set estimates for other NASS
surveys. Seventeen United States level line items are set first on the rounded indication. After the Farm Production
Expenditures Board formally approves the national estimates, NASS and ERS staff set estimates for line items in Regions,
15 States, type of farm, economic class, and fuel sub-components. NASS publishes the expenditures and ERS staff set
USDA estimates for income and demographic data.

Revision Policy: Each publication contains the current year preliminary estimates and the previous year final estimates.
Farm Production Expenditure estimates are subject to revision one year after their preliminary release. Revisions are made
only when additional information becomes available that changes the summarization of survey results. Additional
information may become available when the calibration methodologies for production estimates are improved or revisions
