of Agriculture (USDA).
Special Note
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is updating the rounding for the Prices Received and Prices Paid
2011=100 Index series beginning with the February 2016 Agricultural Prices report.

December Farm Prices Received Index Decreased 2.2 Percent
The December Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 90, decreased 2.2 percent from November. At 84, the
Crop Production Index increased 2.4 percent. At 97, the Livestock Production Index decreased 7.6 percent. Producers
received lower prices for market eggs, cattle, milk, and calves but higher prices for broilers, grapes, corn, and celery. In
addition to prices, the indexes are influenced by the monthly mix of commodities producers market. Increased monthly
movement of oranges, milk, broilers, and wheat offset the decreased marketing of corn, grapes, soybeans, and calves.
The Prices Received Index is down 11 percent from the previous year. The Food Commodities Index, at 97, decreased
4.0 percent from the previous month and is down 16 percent from December 2014.
December Prices Paid Index Down 1.9 Percent
The December Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at
104, is down 1.9 percent from November and 6.3 percent below December 2014. Lower prices in December for feeder
cattle, concentrates, complete feeds, and diesel offset higher prices for nitrogen, feeder pigs, feed grains, and
hay & forages.

Agricultural Prices (January 2016)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Parity Price Overview
Parity prices, based on data from January 2015, and adjusted base price data from which parity prices are computed are
presented in the tables on the following pages. Parity prices are computed under the provisions of Title III. Subtitle A,
Section 301(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended by the Agricultural Acts of 1948, 1949, 1954, and
1956.
The parity prices shown in this report are based on the provisions of the amended Act. Briefly, the actual method of
computation is as follows:
a. The average of prices received by farmers for individual commodities for the 10 preceding years is calculated (for 2015,
the 10-average includes the years 2005-2014). An allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental payments
resulting from price support programs, such as the deficiency payments for grains and cotton, is included for those
commodities for which applicable.
b. This 10-year average is divided by the average of the Index of Prices Received by Farmers for the same 10 preceding
calendar years, adjusted to include an allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental price support operations, to
give an "adjusted base price".
c. Parity prices are computed by multiplying the "adjusted base prices" by the current Parity Index (the Index of Prices
Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Wage Rates, 1910-1914=100).
Parity prices are calculated in terms of prices received by farmers in the local markets in which they ordinarily sell. This
means that the parity prices apply to the average of all classes and grades of the commodity as sold by all farmers in the
United States, except as otherwise specified. Fruits and vegetables for fresh use and for processing are usually considered
separate commodities and separate parity prices are calculated. The Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937
provided for parity prices for certain commodities covered by a marketing agreement or order program. Under present
legislation, United States parity prices, with appropriate adjustments where needed, may be used for the purpose of this
Act.

Agricultural Prices (January 2016)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Reliability of Prices Received Estimates
Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The
average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash
receipts for the commodity.
Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about
1,900 mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance
of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total United States
production. Livestock prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from
AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and
livestock are not included since they represent very small percentages of the total sales. Grain marketed for seed is also
excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private
marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities.
Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight
average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on expanded sales.
Recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in
Washington, D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent
historic estimates.
Revisions: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year estimation time, following five-year
Census revisions, or when later information is received. Revisions are published in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices.
Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one
percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for
non-probability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures
approximate the United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to
such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in
coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling
errors.
Program Changes: After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) 2009 program review which
included changes in farm production practices, plans were implement to make necessary program improvements in the
agricultural price program. The index group structure for prices received was modified to maintain a more universal structure
and consistency with the required 1910-1914 series.
Modifications implemented January 2014 include the following: update the current 1990-1992 base reference period to 2011,
link the 1910-1914 series to the updated base reference period, 2011, create index groups used universally by researchers, data
users, and policymakers, re-classify agricultural commodities into the index groups, expand the commodity coverage for
vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree nuts, update monthly market weights, and adjust (normalization) current five year
moving average cash receipts and farm input cost weights.
Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an
annual index.
See Price Program Quick Stats Links at end of this report for program change details.

December Prices Paid by Farmers
The December Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at
104, is down 1.9 percent from November 2015 and 6.3 percent below December 2014.
Production index: The December index, at 104, is down 1.9 percent from November and 8.8 percent lower than last year.
Lower prices for feeder cattle, concentrates, complete feeds, and diesel more than offset higher prices for nitrogen, feeder
pigs, feed grains, and hay & forages.
Feed: At 99, the December index decreased 1.0 percent from November and is down 11 percent from last December.
Since November, lower prices for concentrates, complete feeds, and supplements more than offset higher prices for
feed grains and hay & forages.
Livestock and poultry: The December index, at 116, decreased 11 percent from November and is down 33 percent
from last year. Since November, lower prices for feeder cattle more than offset higher prices for feeder pigs. The
December feeder cattle price, at $161.00 per cwt, is down $25.00 per cwt from the November price. December feeder
pigs averaged $126.00 per cwt, up $13.00 per cwt from November.
Fertilizer: The index for December, at 86, is up 1.2 percent from November but is 5.5 percent below December a
year ago. Since November, higher prices for nitrogen more than offset lower prices for mixed fertilizer and
potash & phosphate.
Chemicals: The December index, at 106, is unchanged from November but is down 3.6 percent from last December.
Fuels: At 54, the December index is down 6.9 percent from November and 30 percent below December 2014.
Compared with November, prices are lower for diesel, LP gas, and gasoline.
Machinery: The index for December, at 116, is unchanged from November but is 2.7 percent above last December.
Consumer price index: The December 2015 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all
urban consumers (CPI-U) decreased 0.3 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 236.525 (1982-1984=100). The
November index is 237.336. For the 12 month period ending in December, the overall index increased 0.7 percent.

Reliability of Prices Paid Estimates
Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce
agricultural commodities. Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should equal total
producer expenditures for the item.
Survey procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that sell goods and services to farmers and
ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average response rate
in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the price for the specified item "most commonly bought by
farmers" or that was the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to represent all production
input items purchased. The survey reference period for most items is the five business days centered at the 15th of the
month. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed.
Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is summarized as a non-probability survey.
Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from expenditure
data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and
Headquarters for review by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price level for
individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and United States levels, and are published as prices paid indexes
referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor
supplies, and marketing containers are updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS) indexes.
Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision
must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely for March
when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change.
Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors.
However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent.
Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in
interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the
survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors.
Program change: Effective January 2014, the National Agricultural Statistics Service modified the five-year moving
weights and updated the base reference period. In January 2015, publication of preliminary prices was suspended, and the
annual average index was replaced by an annual index.
As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period was updated to 2011. Five-year moving average weights are
adjusted (normalized) to minimize the effects of price changes. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by statute for
computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 2011=100 indexes. The new indexes were
constructed by multiplying the ratios of the current prices to the base period prices by the moving average weights.
