Agricultural Prices
2005 Summary
The 46th Annual Summary of Agricultural Prices contains prices farmers received for commodities sold as
well as prices paid for production input goods and services. Prices are weighted and aggregated into price
indexes. These indexes provide measures of relative price changes for agricultural outputs and inputs.
The State, Regional, and U.S. average prices for agricultural commodities and farm production inputs are
based on voluntary reports from agri-business firms, merchants, dealers, and farmers throughout the Nation.
These data are collected at regular intervals using mailed inquiries, telephone, and personal enumeration. We
greatly appreciate the cooperation and support of all the individuals and firms that have provided data.
Estimates of prices received by farmers are published by state for crops (2004-2005), vegetables (2003-2005),
and livestock and poultry (2004-2005). Estimates for prices paid by farmers for feed, fuel, and fertilizer are
published by region for 2002-2005. Prices paid for all other surveyed items are published for 2002-2005 at
the U.S. level. U.S. price indexes for both prices received and paid including any index revisions are
published for 1998-2005.
Preliminary crop prices for 2005 and fruit and vegetable prices for 2004 and 2005 are subject to revision.
Prices received for livestock and poultry are final estimates. Prices received and prices paid revisions are first
published in the monthly issues of Agricultural Prices and again in the Agricultural Prices Annual
Summary.
Agricultural Commodity Prices represent monthly and marketing year averages received by farmers at the point of
first sale for all grades and qualities of the commodity sold. Points of first sale by farmers range from bulk sales at the
farm to packed and graded products delivered to a local market. For crops the price refers to all sales, regardless of the
year harvested. The average price concept is that price which would result from dividing the total dollars received by
all farmers, before any marketing charges are deducted, by the total quantity sold. Contract sales are reported in the
month of settlement, not when the contract is made. Prices are on an "as sold" basis, with the following exceptions:
milk is priced f.o.b. plant or receiving station; fruit and vegetable pricing is covered in detail below.
Monthly Prices are based on all sales of the commodity during the entire month. Exceptions are hay, eggs, and turkeys
which are based on the 5-day period centered on the 15th of the month. State commodity prices are estimated for
months when at least 0.5 percent of the annual sales occur. Weights for computing monthly United States average
prices are based on estimated marketings during the month by State.
Marketing Year Average (MYA) Prices are weighted average prices for crops, livestock, and poultry items sold
during the marketing year. Commodity marketing years are defined on pages 16 and 19. State marketing year average
prices are computed by weighting monthly prices by the estimated percentage of monthly sales during the marketing
year. State and U.S. monthly and marketing year average prices for crops are open-market prices excluding
Government program payments or allowances for unredeemed loans and purchases by the Government. Government
payments to farmers are included in farm income accounts as a separate cash receipt item. U.S. marketing year average
prices for corn, sorghum, oats, barley, wheat, rice, soybeans, flaxseed, sunflower, and upland cotton are computed by
weighting U.S. monthly prices by monthly marketings for the U.S. marketing year. Other crops, livestock, and poultry
U.S. marketing year average prices are computed by weighting State marketing year average prices by the estimated
quantity sold in each State.
Preliminary Marketing Year Average Price estimates for 2005 are based on price data through December 2005 for
all field crops except tobacco which is based on data through April 2006. Marketing years for fruit, vegetables, and nuts
vary by State and commodity. Allowances are made for the portion of the crop expected to be marketed during the
remainder of the marketing year for all commodities except cotton.
Monthly and Marketing Year Average Crop Prices for 2004 are final except for fruit. Crop prices for 2005 are
subject to revision. These revisions will be published first in the monthly issues of Agricultural Prices and then in the
Annual Summary. Livestock, livestock products and poultry prices are final estimates for 2004 and 2005. Prices for
agricultural commodities may be revised during the Agency's five-year review of production estimates. Price revisions
resulting from this review are usually small and generally are the result of reweighting state prices to the U.S. level.
State monthly and MYA prices for noncitrus fruit sold for fresh market are the weighted average of prices received
by producers at the points of first sale. Points of first sale include f.o.b. shipping point, farm, roadside, U-pick, farmer's
market, grower auctions, and bulk sales to a packer. The exceptions to this are California, Washington, New York
(apples only), and Oregon (excluding peaches), which use equivalent returns at the packinghouse-door. This is a f.o.b.
packed shipping point price adjusted back to the packinghouse-door by subtracting all costs that accumulate between the
packinghouse and the f.o.b. shipping point. Costs include cleaning, grading, packing, inspecting, and marketing. U.S.
monthly prices are the weighted averages of the state prices. U.S. MYA prices are derived by dividing the sum of the
states' values of production by their sum of production. Monthly prices include all fruit sold in a month regardless of
the crop year in which it was harvested.
State MYA prices for noncitrus fruit sold for processing are the equivalent returns producers receive for fruit
delivered to the processing plant door. The exceptions are California olives and Clingstone peaches, which are prices at
the first delivery point, and cranberries, which is a weighted average of adjusted co-op pool proceeds and independent
sales at the first delivery point. U.S. MYA prices for noncitrus processing fruits are derived by dividing the sum of
states' values by their sum of production. There are no monthly price series of noncitrus processing fruits.
State and U.S. MYA prices for noncitrus crops at the "all sales" level (fresh and processing) are derived by dividing
total value by total production.
State monthly citrus prices are based on weighted average f.o.b. packed prices received for fresh fruit, and weighted
average prices received at the processing plant door for processing fruit. Equivalent returns for fresh and processed
fruit are calculated at the packinghouse door and on-tree levels by deducting picking, hauling, sorting, grading, packing,
cooling, marketing, and other costs from the two base prices.
State MYA prices and equivalent returns for citrus are calculated from the weighted average fresh and processed
prices received each month in the crop's marketing season. The crop year 2004-2005 as shown on all citrus tables in
Monthly and MYA citrus prices at the U.S. level are the average of the states' prices weighted by their box movement
and approximate net weight per box. The box weights used are as follows: Grapefruit: Arizona and California - 67
lbs., Florida - 85 lbs. and Texas - 80 lbs.; Lemons - 76 lbs; Limes - 88 lbs.; Oranges: Arizona and California - 75 lbs.,
Florida - 90 lbs., and Texas - 85 lbs.; Tangelos - 90 lbs.; Tangerines: Arizona and California - 75 lbs., and Florida - 95
lbs.; Temples - 90 lbs.
State monthly fresh market vegetable prices are f.o.b. shipping point, f.o.b. equivalents, or point of first sale prices.
The state MYA prices for fresh market vegetables are the weighted average of the monthly prices using estimated
monthly movements. U.S. monthly prices are the weighted average of state prices. U.S. MYA prices are derived by
dividing the sum of states' values of production by their sum of production. (Prices for broccoli, carrots, cauliflower,
celery, and onions may include some processing.)

Agricultural Inputs: The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers (PPITW) measures changes in the prices paid for goods and
services used in crop and livestock production and family living. The index is made up of 5 major components. In terms
of total farm expenditures, the production component accounts for over 65 percent of the total and the family living
component represented by the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) accounts for less than 20 percent
of the index. The remaining three components are: (1) interest charges per acre on farm real estate debt and interest on
farm non-real estate debt; (2) taxes payable per acre on farm real estate; and (3) wage rates paid to hired farm labor. Prices
Paid Indexes are not seasonally adjusted and there are no adjustments for quality changes.
The 1910-14=100 base is required under the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, as amended. The Index of Prices Paid
by Farmers for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates on the 1910-14=100 base is called the
Parity Index. The Parity Index reflects relative price change but does not take into account the technological
advancements and increased productivity of American agriculture. Federal regulations require that the National
Agricultural Statistics Service publish parity prices, the indexes, and relevant price data monthly in “Agricultural Prices”.
In 1995, the National Agricultural Statistics Service reweighted and reconstructed the prices paid and received by farmers
indexes. The indexes are now based on 5-year moving average weights. The changes in the construction of the indexes
simplifies updating component items and reference periods while maintaining appropriate weights. The overall changes to
the weighting and construction of the indexes did not have a significant effect on the index levels, and therefore, had little
effect on the level of parity prices. Indexes are newly published on a 1990-92=100 base using a 1990-92 reference period.
As mentioned above, the 1910-14=100 base is continued for the parity index.
Beginning 1995, the Prices Paid Survey of items purchased by farm establishments is conducted annually in April.
Surveys are conducted for feed, livestock purchases, seed, fertilizer, ag chemicals, fuel, and farm machinery. The Bureau
of Labor Statistics, (BLS) indexes measure price changes and replace survey activity for farm supplies and repairs, autos
and trucks, building materials, and marketing containers. The BLS indexes are used monthly to measure price change
when no survey data are collected. Before 1995, quarterly prices paid surveys were conducted by NASS. About 135
selected items are priced to represent groups of similar items purchased which make up the major production expenditures
categories. The number of input items consumed on farms is so extensive that it is not feasible to collect price data for all
of the inputs.
Items on the questionnaire are described in the simplest way consistent with definite identification. Firms are requested to
report the prices for the item most commonly sold which meets the general specification criteria. Reported data are
summarized to regional estimates and then weighted to U.S. prices. Weights are based on available consumption or
expenditure information. Average prices including state and local taxes are used in computing the indexes and are
published in Agricultural Prices in the same month as the survey. Regional and U.S. prices are published for feed, fuel,
and fertilizer. U.S. prices are published for the remaining items surveyed.
Revisions: Indexes are recomputed monthly to reflect the most recent price changes and include any updated prices or
indexes. Prices Paid Indexes, including all components and subcomponents, are subject to annual revisions as additional
data become available. In April, index revisions are published to reflect yearly change for items surveyed annually by the
Prices Paid Survey and adjusted BLS indexes used for the one month time lag between the reporting and summary date.
Annual revisions generally are made in the taxes, interest, and rent and farm services components of the index.
Parity Ratio: The Parity Ratio is the ratio of the Prices Received Index, 1910-14=100, to the Index of Prices Paid by
Farmers for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Wage Rates (PPITW) on a 1910-14=100 base. The Parity
Ratio is a measure of price relationships; not a measure of farm income, of farmer's total purchasing power, or of farmer's
welfare. The well-being of the farm community depends upon a number of factors other than price relationships such as
changes in production efficiency and technology, quantities of farm products sold, and supplementary income, including
income from off-farm jobs, and federal farm programs.
Ratio: The ratio of the Prices Received Index to the Prices Paid Index (PPITW) on the 1990-92=100 base provides an
indication of the change that has occurred in the prices farmers receive for their commodities relative to the change in the
cost of inputs using the average of 1990-92 as the reference period. When this ratio is greater than 100 percent, it implies
that farm commodity prices have increased at a faster rate than farm input prices. When the ratio is less than 100 percent,
farm input prices are increasing at a more rapid pace than farm commodity prices.
