June Prices Received Index Increased 0.1 Percent

The June Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 95.1, increased 0.1 percent from May 2018. At 90.3, the

Crop Production Index increased 0.7 percent. The Livestock Production Index, at 98.5, increased 0.2 percent. Producers

soybeans. Compared with a year earlier, the Prices Received Index is down 3.3 percent. The Crop Production Index

increased 3.4 percent and the Livestock Production Index decreased 8.1 percent. In addition to prices, the indexes are

influenced by the volume change of commodities producers market. Increased monthly movement of wheat, hay, peaches,

and corn offset the decreased marketing of oranges, milk, broilers, and tomatoes. The Food Commodities Index, at 98.9,

increased 0.4 percent from the previous month but decreased 5.2 percent from June 2017.

down 0.2 percent from May 2018 but up 2.0 percent from June 2017. Lower prices in June for feeder pigs, herbicides, hay

and forages, and complete feeds more than offset higher prices for other services, feeder cattle, supplies, and diesel.

Parity Prices

Parity prices based on data July 2018 and adjusted base price data from which parity prices are computed, are presented in

the table on pages 28 through 33. Annual average prices for 2008 through 2017 for use in parity computations, and ten-

year averages for 2007-2016 and 2008-2017 are shown on pages 34 through 43.

Parity Prices shown on the following pages 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 major provisions of the amended Act relating to the calculation of parity prices are as follows:

"(1) (A) The 'parity price' for any agricultural commodity, as of any date, shall be determined by multiplying the adjusted

base price of such commodity as of such date by the parity index as of such date."

"(B) The 'adjusted base price' of any agricultural commodity, as of any date, shall be (i) the average of the prices received

by farmers for such commodity, at such time as the Secretary may select during each year of the ten-year period ending on

the 31st of December last before such date, or during each marketing season beginning in such period if the Secretary

determines use of a calendar year basis to be impracticable, divided by (ii) the ratio of the general level of prices received

by farmers for agricultural commodities during the period January 1910 to December 1914, inclusive."

"(C) The 'parity index', as of any date, shall be the ratio of (i) the general level of prices for articles and services that

farmers buy, wages paid hired farm labor, interest on farm indebtedness secured by farm real estate, and taxes on farm

real estate, for the calendar month ending last before such date to (ii) the general level of such prices, wages, rates, and

taxes during the period January 1910 to December 1914, inclusive."

"(D) The prices and indexes provided for herein, and the data used in computing them, shall be determined by the

Secretary, whose determination shall be final."

Section 301(a) (1) (F) outlines authority for the Secretary of Agriculture to make special adjustments in the method of

computing parity prices for particular commodities if the method outlined in the Act results in parity prices seriously out

of line with those of other commodities.

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 2018

it is the 2008-2017 average). 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.

The indexes used in the computation of parity prices are published currently in Agricultural Prices. For the purpose of

illustrating the computation of parity prices, the calculation of the parity price for corn based on data for July 2018 is

given below.

The 120-month, January 2008-December 2017 average of prices received by farmers for corn was $4.59 per bushel,

adjusted to allow for unredeemed loans and other supplemental payments resulting from price support operations. The

120-month average of the Index of Prices Received by Farmers, adjusted to include an allowance for unredeemed loans,

etc., was 1020 (1910-1914=100). The adjusted base price is obtained by dividing $4.59 by 10.20 (0.450). The adjusted

base price when multiplied by 2944 percent, the Parity Index (1910-1914=100), results in the corn parity price of $13.20

for July 2018

Parity Ratio

The parity ratio (the Index of Prices Received by Farmers for the products they sell divided by the Parity Index

(1910-1914=100) provides an indication of the per unit purchasing power of farm commodities generally in terms of the

goods and services currently bought by farmers, in relation to purchasing power of farm products in the 1910-1914 base

period. Thus, a Parity Ratio less than 100 indicates that the average per unit purchasing power of all farm products is

lower than during the 1910-1914 period.

The parity ratio is a measure of price relationships. The ratio is not a measure of farm income, farmers' total purchasing

power, or farmers' welfare. The latter 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 that from

off-farm jobs and federal programs.

An adjusted parity ratio is computed and published which incorporates supplementary income for federal farm programs.

A "preliminary adjusted parity ratio reflecting government payments" based on the forecast of direct government

payments for the year is published each quarter in Agricultural Prices.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates

Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The

average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash

receipts for the commodity.

Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about

1,900 mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance

of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total United States

production. Livestock prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from

AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and

livestock are not included since they represent very small percentages of the total sales. Grain marketed for seed is also

excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private

marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities.

Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight

average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on expanded sales.

Recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in

Washington, D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent

historic estimates.

Revisions: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year estimation time, following five-year

Census revisions, or when later information is received. Revisions are published in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices.

Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one

percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for

non-probability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures

approximate the United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to

such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in

coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling

errors.

Program Changes: After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) 2009 program review which

included changes in farm production practices, plans were implemented to make necessary program improvements in the

agricultural price program. The index group structure for prices received was modified to maintain a more universal structure

and consistency with the required 1910-1914 series.

Modifications implemented January 2014 include the following: updated the current 1990-1992 base reference period to

2011; linked the 1910-1914 series to the updated base reference period, 2011; created index groups used universally by

researchers, data users, and policymakers; and re-classified agricultural commodities into the index groups. Also the

modifications expanded the commodity coverage for vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree nuts; updated monthly market

weights; and adjusted (normalized) current five year moving average cash receipts and farm input cost weights.

Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an

annual index.

The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent.

The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number.

See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details.


June Prices Paid by Farmers

The June Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 108.8, is

down 0.2 percent from May 2018 but up 2.0 percent from June 2017.

Production: The June index, at 106.1, is down 0.4 percent from May but up 1.3 percent from last year. Lower prices for

feeder pigs, herbicides, hay and forages, and complete feeds more than offset higher prices for other services, feeder

cattle, supplies, and diesel.

Feed: At 101.3, the June index decreased 1.1 percent from May but increased 7.1 percent from last June. Since May,

the prices for hay and forages, complete feeds, concentrates, supplements, and feed grains are all lower.

Livestock and poultry: The June index, at 101.6, decreased 1.6 percent from May and 5.9 percent from last year.

Since May, lower prices for feeder pigs more than offset higher prices for feeder cattle. The June feeder cattle price, at

$144.00 per cwt, is up $2.00 from the May price. June feeder pigs averaged $102.00 per cwt, down $41.00 from May.

Fertilizer: The index for June, at 65.8, is down 0.8 percent from May and 3.7 percent below June a year ago. Since

May, lower prices for nitrogen and mixed fertilizer more than higher prices for potash and phosphate.

Chemicals: The June index, at 103.7, is down 2.2 percent from May and 0.8 percent from last June.

Fuels: At 69.5, the June index is down 0.4 percent from May but up 19 percent from June 2017. Compared with May,

prices are higher for diesel but lower for LP gas and gasoline.

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.

Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and replaced the annual average index with an

annual index.

The April 2015 program update discontinued publication of the annual March survey prices paid data.

The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period indexes to nearest tenth of a percent.

The 1910-1914 base period indexes remain rounded to the nearest whole number.

See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details.
