Acknowledgments

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the 2018 Census of Agriculture for the Commonwealth of the Northern Marian Islands (CNMI), analyzed the data, and prepared this and other reports. The census provides a comprehensive picture of the CNMI’s agriculture in 2018, 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 CNMI. Recognizing that participating in the census is their responsibility and gives them a voice in their future, agricultural operators took the time to provide the information requested. We are grateful to every operator who participated in the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture.

NASS acknowledges and appreciates the advice and support from the CNMI Department of Commerce, the Northern Marianas College and its Cooperative Research and Extension Education; USDA agencies, farm organizations, stakeholder groups, and media outlets. They provided valuable advice during the planning, data collection, and promotional phases of the census, as well as critical assistance to local farmers completing census forms. Our thanks to the enumerators who collected data locally through NASS’ cooperative agreements.

Numerous farm organizations and media outlets were also instrumental in building awareness of the census and encouraging farmers and ranchers to participate.

Finally, NASS acknowledges and appreciates the support services of the U.S. Department of Commerce National Processing Center in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

2017 Census of Agriculture Introduction V USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Introduction

HISTORY For more than 150 years, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, conducted the census of agriculture. However, the 1997 Appropriations Act transferred the responsibility from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).

The census of agriculture is taken to obtain agricultural statistics for each county, State (including territories and protectorates), and the Nation. The first U.S. census of agriculture data were collected in 1840 as a part of the sixth decennial census. From 1840 to 1920, an agricultural census was taken as a part of each decennial census. Since 1920, a separate national agricultural census has been taken every 5 years.

The 2018 census is the 7th census of agriculture of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The first agriculture census was taken in 1970 in conjunction with the decennial census, a practice that continued in 1980 and 1990. The 1997 Census was the first agriculture census taken in the CNMI that was not done as part of the population census.

USES OF CENSUS DATA The census of agriculture is the leading source of statistics about the CNMI’s agricultural production and the only source of consistent, comparable data at the island level. Census statistics are used to measure agricultural production and to identify trends in an ever-changing agricultural sector. Many local programs use census data as a benchmark for designing and evaluating surveys. Private industry uses census statistics to provide a more effective production and distribution system for the agricultural community. One of the most important uses of the census data is to justify claims of farmers who may

suffer damages and losses due to natural disasters, such as typhoons.

LEGAL AUTHORITY The 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 toconduct a census of agriculture every fifth year. Thecensus of agriculture includes each State, Puerto Rico,Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Commonwealth ofNorthern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa.

The data for the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture were collected in accordance with a Cooperative Agreement approved by the Director of the Census and Survey Division of NASS and by the CNMI Secretary of Commerce.

FARM DEFINITION The statistics collected in the census relate to places with agricultural operations qualifying as farms according to the census definition. In the CNMI, this included all places from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the 12-month period between January 1 and December 31, 2018. The farm definition is the same that was used for the 2007 CNMI Census of Agriculture, and is the same definition used for the rest of the U.S.

DATA COMPARABILITY In general, the data from the 2018 census are comparable with those of previous censuses. All dollar values presented in this report are in current dollars, i.e., 2018 data are expressed in 2018 dollars and 2007 data in 2007 dollars. The dollar values have not been adjusted for changes in price levels between census years. For other data changes between

VI Introduction 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

censuses, refer to the section on Data Changes in Appendix B.

REFERENCE PERIODS Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipment are the number on hand on the day of enumeration. Crop production, crop and livestock sales, and expense data are for the 12-month period between January 1 and December 31, 2018.

TABLES AND APPENDICES Tables 1 through 13 show detailed island data accompanied by historic data from the previous census. Tables 14 through 28 show selected data items presented by municipalities. Tables 29 through 32 provide 2018 area data cross-tabulated by tenure of operator, age of operator, size of farm, and market value of agricultural products sold.

Appendix A. Provides information about data collection and data processing activities and discusses the statistical methodology used in conducting and evaluating the census.

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 a facsimile of the report form used to collect data.

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY In keeping with the provisions of Title 7, United States Code, no data are published that would disclose the operations of an individual farm. However, the number of farms in a given size category or other classification is not considered a release of confidential information and is provided, even though other information may be withheld.

CUSTOM TABULATIONS Custom-designed tabulations can be developed to individual user specifications on a programming cost

reimbursable basis. Quick Stats, NASS’s online database that allows data users to build customized queries, should be investigated before requesting a custom tabulation.

All 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:

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A A - 1 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix A. Census of Agriculture Methodology

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Census of Agriculture is to enumerate all members of a population with a defined characteristic. For the Census of Agriculture of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), 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.”

As in the previous censuses of the CNMI, a direct enumeration procedure was used in the 2018 Census of Agriculture. Enumeration was based on a list of farm operators compiled by the CNMI Department of Commerce, Central Statistics Division. The statistics on this report were collected during the spring of 2019.

THE CENSUS POPULATION For the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture, a list of farm operators was compiled by the CNMI Department of Commerce. The core of this list was a compilation of all persons having a business license to sell agricultural products. The enumerators contacted all persons or operations on the list and completed a census report form for all farm operations that met the farm definition. If the person on the list was not operating a farm, the enumerator recorded whether the land had been sold or rented to someone else and was still being used for agriculture. If the land was sold or rented out, the enumerator obtained the name of the new operator and contacted that person, to ensure that he/she was included in the census.

DATA COLLECTION OUTREACH AND PROMOTIONAL EFFORTS The Public Affairs Office (PAO) developed a communication plan largely based on promotional materials that were shared with local outreach

partners, including but not limited to the CNMI Department of Commerce, the Northern Marianas College and its Cooperative Research Extension, and local USDA agencies. The goal with these promotional materials included:

• Encouraging participation in the Census ofAgriculture

• Communicating how the census will providemuch needed data that are used by federal andlocal decision makers

• Explaining that response to the Census ofAgriculture is required and that reportedinformation is protected by federal law

• Increasing general awareness and perceivedvalue of NASS, its products, and services

Partnership and Local-Level Outreach NASS officials met with leaders from agricultural organizations, the CNMI Department of Commerce, the Northern Marianas College and its Cooperative Research Extension and other USDA agencies to successfully secure their support in promoting the census among their constituencies. Stakeholders partnered with NASS to promote the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture through publications (e.g. newsletters), special mailings, speeches, social media, websites, and other communications. Through grassroots-level outreach and efforts, NASS partnered with a number of community-based organizations to reach all farmers and ranchers. Among the highlights of these partnership efforts was the participation of local government officials on radio public service announcements promoting the importance of the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture.

Public Relations In the public relations arena, NASS worked with internal and external stakeholders to equip them with communications tools and resources to deliver the

A - 2 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

census communications message to their audiences. The materials included, but were not limited to: a press release/stakeholder notice, a public service announcement, flyers and posters, and a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document; which were drafted for local media and other stakeholder distribution. These materials were available both electronically and in hard copy. Other outreach tools included items such as pens and notepads. DATA COLLECTION Method of Enumeration Personal enumeration was used in the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture, and in the 2007 CNMI Census of Agriculture, enumeration was based on a list of farm operators compiled by the CNMI Department of Commerce, Central Statistics Division. The enumerators contacted all persons or operations engaged in agriculture in their assigned area and completed a census report form for all farm operations that met the farm definition. If the person on the list was not operating a farm, the enumerator recorded whether the land had been sold or rented to someone else and was still being used for agriculture. If the land was sold or rented out, the enumerator obtained the name of the new operator and contacted that person, to ensure that he/she was included in the census. Report Form Prior to each agriculture census, the content of all census report forms is reviewed to eliminate inquiries no longer needed, to identify new items necessary to meet user needs, and to better describe the agricultural situation in the CNMI. Data requests are solicited from farm organizations, land-grant colleges and universities, State and Federal agencies, State Department of Agriculture, agribusinesses, and other users. Each respondent is asked to identify and justify its specific data needs. A single version of the report form for the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture was prepared by NASS, in cooperation with the CNMI Department of Commerce, the Northern Marianas College and its Cooperative Research Extension; and various USDA agencies. Based on their comments, the content of the 2018 census report form remained almost unchanged from the previous census.

Training Program The project manager, and enumerators employed for the census in the CNMI received special training in accordance with instructions prepared by NASS. The training included an overview of the census of agriculture program, and a detailed discussion of the enumerator's instructions manual and the census report form. REPORT FORM PROCESSING Data Capture The Census Bureau’s National Processing Center (NPC) in Jeffersonville, IN was contracted to print, label, and ship the questionnaires to the CNMI. Completed questionnaires were then returned to NPC for data capture and scanning. 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. With the small survey universe, it was determined that a key from paper application would be most economical. All forms keyed were then scanned and loaded into the Feith file cabinet. The images were available for analytical review of the data as well as for archive purposes. The keying staff evaluated the contents and captured pertinent responses. An independent quality control process occurs after initial keying where ten percent of the captured data is keyed a second time. 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 or receive additional training. The measured error rate for the entire survey was 0.39%. The images and the captured data were transferred to NASS’s centralized network and became available to NASS analysts on a flow basis. The images were available for use in all stages of review. Editing Data Captured data were processed through a computer formatting program. The program verified that record identifiers were valid and checked the basic integrity


of the data fields. Rejected records were referred to analysts for correction. Accepted records were sent to a computer batch edit process. Each execution of the computer batch edit flowed as the data were received from the National Processing Center (NPC). All census records were passed through a complex computer edit. The edit determined whether a reporting operation met the minimum criteria to be counted as a qualifying 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 take corrective action. Actions included removing erroneously reported values, replacing an unreasonable value with one consistent with other reported data. Strategies for determining replacement values are discussed in the next section. Imputing Data 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 defined the criteria for acceptable data. Problems that could not be resolved within the edit were referred to an analyst for intervention. Analysts used additional information sources, examined the scanned image, and determined an appropriate action. Data Analysis Once keyed, the data from each report form were available to NASS analysts in Washington, DC, via electronic media, for computer editing and analysis. Data from each report were subjected to a detailed item-by-item computer edit. The edit performed comprehensive checks for consistency and reasonableness, corrected erroneous or inconsistent data; supplied missing data based on similar farms, and assigned farm classification codes necessary for tabulating the data. Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed by statisticians to identify inconsistencies and potential coverage problems. Comparisons were made with previous census data, as well as other available data. Tallies of all selected data items for various sets of criteria which included, but were not limited to, geographic levels, farm types, and sales levels were

reviewed. When necessary, data inconsistencies were resolved. 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. Farm counts are not considered sensitive and are not subject to disclosure. Cell suppression will be used to protect the cells that are determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of information. Based on agency standards, data cells were determined to be sensitive to a disclosure of information if they failed either of two rules. First, the threshold rule failed if the data cell contained less than three operations. For example, if only one farmer produced hogs on the island, NASS could not publish the island total for hog inventory without disclosing the individuals’ information. Second, the dominance rule failed if the distribution of the data within the cell allowed a data user to estimate any respondent’s data too closely. A (p)-percent rule will be used to determine dominance. Under this rule, if the two largest contributing farms’ values to the county total are subtracted from the estimated total, the remainder must exceed a specified (p)-percent of the largest contributed value. If the remainder fails to exceed the specified percentage, the value is not published. For example, if there are many farmers producing hogs on the island and some of them were large enough to dominate the cell total, NASS could not publish the county total for hog 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 are 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 are properly protected in all linear relationships in all tables. These data cells are

A - 4 Appendix A 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

referred to as complementary suppressions. These cells are 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 cannot determine whether a cell with a (D) represents a primary or complementary suppression.

NASS 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 the Island, analysts requested an override and a different complement cell was chosen.

MEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS PROCESS Uncertainty is introduced into the data in compiling the list of farm operators, in NASS’ data collection procedures, in data editing and processing, and in compiling the final data. Additionally, NASS uses statistical procedures to both measure errors in the various processes and in making adjustments for those errors in the final data.

Variability in Census Estimates due to Statistical Adjustment In conducting the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture, efforts were initiated to measure error associated with the adjustments for farm operations that were on the list of farm operators but did not respond to the census, report form. This error measurement was developed from the standard error of the estimates at the island level, where appropriate, and were expressed as coefficients of variation (CVs) at the island level. Coefficients of variation are displayed in the Quick Stats database.

Coefficient of variation is a measure of the relative amount of error associated with a sample estimate. Specifically, it is the standard error of a point estimate divided by that estimate, generally multiplied times 100 so that it can be reported as a percentage. 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. Every estimate for the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture has a corresponding CV published with it. NASS has identified the following index to use when evaluating coefficient of variation for the 2018 CNMI Census of Agriculture.

• Low Reliability Estimate. Coefficient ofVariation (CV) 30 percent or higher. Cautionshould be used when using this estimate in anyform. Please consult NASS for more informationor guidance.

• Medium Reliability Estimate. Coefficient ofVariation (CV) between 15 percent and 29.9percent.

• High Reliability Estimate. Coefficient ofVariation (CV) less than 15 percent.

NONMEASURED ERRORS IN THE CENSUS PROCESS As noted in the previous section, sampling errors can be introduced from the nonresponse adjustment procedure. 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 list of farmers for the census, to design an understandable report form with clear instructions, to train enumerators on how to ask the questions and record the answers on the report form, and to minimize processing errors through the use of quality control measures. 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 reporting errors. Poor instructions and ambiguous definitions lead to misreporting. Respondents may not remember


accurately, may estimate responses, or enumerators may record an item in the wrong cell. To reduce reporting and recording errors, detailed instructions for completing the report form were provided to each enumerator, and questions were phrased as clearly as possible. In addition, each respondent’s answers were checked for completeness and consistency by the complex edit and imputation system.

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, the fully conditional specification method, or manually imputed by an analyst, some risk exists that the imputed value does not equal the actual value.

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix B B - 1 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Appendix B. General Explanation and Census of Agriculture Report Form DEVELOPMENT OF THE CENSUS REPORT FORM Prior to each agriculture census, the content of all census report forms is reviewed to eliminate inquiries no longer needed and to identify new items necessary to meet user needs, so that published data better describes the agricultural situation in the CNMI. Data requests are solicited from farm organizations, land-grant colleges and universities, State and Federal agencies, State departments of agriculture, agribusinesses, and other users. Each user is asked to identify and justify its specific data needs. The report form for the 2018 Census of Agriculture for the CNMI was prepared by NASS, in cooperation with the CNMI Department of Commerce, Central Statistics Division. While similar to the report form used in 2007, changes were made to reflect changes in the CNMI's agriculture. A sample copy of the report form is included in this appendix. DATA CHANGES Following are descriptions of the report form changes. Added items include: • Section 11, “Production Expenses” – “Gasoline,

fuels, and oil purchased for the farm business”, “Water expenses”, “Transportation cost (excluding fuel expenses)”.

• Section 13, “Practices” – To report selected practices utilized in the farm business.

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 CNMI Census of Agriculture report form, 18-

A1(CNMI). Many of the definitions and explanations are the same as those used in earlier censuses. Crops. The report form contained individual inquiries for crops commonly grown and space to write in those less frequently produced. The information requested for 2018 included acres of crops harvested and pounds harvested for sale. The units of measure for reporting quantities of some crops have varied from one census to another. The aim has been to permit reporting in the units of measure currently in use. The quantities harvested for each crop are expressed in the units of measure given on the 2018 report form. Root crops - The land area from which individual root crops were harvested for sale was obtained in acres and tenths of acres. When two or more crops were harvested from the same land, the area was to be reported for each separate crop or planting. Total quantities of each crop harvested for sale were also reported. Vegetables and melons - Land area for individual crops and the quantity harvested for sale for each crop were collected. Fruits, nuts, and nursery crops - The total number of acres planted in bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut trees and plants was collected. For individual fruit or nut crops, data on the number of bearing and nonbearing trees and plants, and the quantity harvested for sale, were reported. For nursery crops, the land area harvested, both square feet under cover and acres in the open, were collected, along with the value of sales. Equipment. The following types of equipment on the place at time of enumeration regardless of ownership, were reported if they were operable:

B - 2 Appendix B 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Automobiles - This includes all vehicles used primarily as passenger cars. Motortrucks - This includes pickup trucks and truck- trailer combinations. Tillers of all kinds - This includes all types of tillers used to prepare soil for planting. Tractors - This includes all wheel and track-laying (crawler) tractors and garden tractors. Expenses. The 2018 report form contained questions on seven types of farm expenses incurred between January 1 and December 31, 2018, whether made by the farm operator, his/her landlord, or both. A farm operator who rented part of his/her land to others reported only the expenses on the land he/she operated. Feed purchased for livestock, poultry, and fish - Expenses for feed for livestock, poultry, and fish include total cash payments made for pasture used, salt concentrates, mineral supplements, grain, hay, mill feeds, and any other items purchased for feeding livestock, poultry, and fish on the place. Expenses made for the grinding and mixing of feed and the estimated cost of items furnished to the operator by a landlord or others are also included. Payments made by a tenant to a landlord for feed grown on the tenant's farm are excluded. Gasoline, fuels, and oil purchased for the farm business - This item includes expenses for gasoline, fuels, and oil purchased for the farm. Machine hire and customwork - Expenses for machine hire and customwork relate to tractor hire, plowing, and spraying. Any amount spent for the labor involved is considered to be part of the expense. The costs of hauling, trucking, or exchange work without pay are omitted. Purchases of fertilizers and manure - These expenses include the total amount spent for manure and commercial fertilizers of all kinds for use on the farm. Purchases of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides - This item relates to total cash expenses for all

chemicals, sprays, dusts, etc., used to control weeds, pests, insects, or disease on crops. Purchases of livestock, poultry, and fish - This item includes all cash expenses for livestock, poultry, and fish purchased for the place. The cost of livestock and poultry bought and resold within 30 days is not included. Seed cost - These expenses include all seed purchased for planting, as well as seedlings. Transportation cost (excluding fuel expenses) - This item includes transportation expenses, excluding the cost for gasoline, and fuels, related to the farm business. Wages and salaries paid to employees or hired farm workers - Expenses for hired farm labor include total cash payments made to family members and others for farm labor. Payments to persons supplied by a contractor or a cooperative organization and paid directly by them or by the person in charge are also included. Water expenses - This item includes water expenses for the farm. Farm operator. The term "operator" designates a person who operates a farm, either by doing the work himself/herself or by directly supervising the work. The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner's household, a hired manager, or a tenant, renter, or sharecropper. If the operator rents land to others or has land worked on shares by others, he/she is considered the operator only if the land is retained for his/her own operation. In the case of partnership, only one partner is counted as an operator. By definition, the number of operators is the same as the number of farms. Farms or operators reporting. Figures for "farms reporting" or "operators reporting" represent the number of farms or operators reporting the specified item. The difference between the total number of farms and the number of farms reporting a particular item represents the number of farms not having that item.


Land in farms. The land in farms was determined from the answers to questions 1 through 4 in section 1 of the report form (see appendix B). The amounts of land reported as owned and reported as rented from others were added together, and the amount of land reported as rented to others was subtracted from that sum. The result represents "land in farms."

Land owned. This includes all land that the operator or his/her spouse held under title, purchased contract, homestead law, or as heir or trustee of an undivided estate at the time of enumeration.

Land rented from others. This includes not only land the operator rented or leased from others, but also land worked on shares for others or land occupied rent free.

Land rented to others. This includes all land that the operator rented to others and all land assigned to others on shares or rent free. For the most part, land rented to others represents agricultural land, but it also includes land rented for residential or other purposes. The tenant is considered to be the operator of land leased, rented, or worked on shares, even though his/her landlord may supervise the operations. The landlord is considered to be the operator of only that portion of the land not assigned to tenants.

Land use. Land in farms at the time of enumeration is categorized according to the way it was used between January 1 and December 31, 2018. The land is counted only once, even though it may have had more than one use during the year.

Cropland harvested - This refers to all land from which any crop was harvested. It also includes land in field crops that were grazed when mature or almost mature, and land in nonbearing fruit or nut trees and plants. Land from which two or more crops were harvested and which was also used for other purposes, either before or after the crops were harvested, was to be reported as cropland harvested without regard to the other uses.

Other cropland - This includes all cropland on the place that was used for pasture, and cropland on the place that was not used for crops or pasture. It includes land on which there was total crop failure due to hurricane, flood, drought, insects, fire, or other

causes; cropland lying idle; and cropland planted with soil improvement grasses or other cover crops planted for improvement. It does not include land so hilly, rocky, or wet that the cost of improving it for cultivation would be more than the operator could pay. It does not include land in roads, streams, or swamps.

Pasture or grazing land - This refers to all land used for pasture or grazing, except cropland. It includes all woodland where livestock pastured or grazed. It does not include cropland, even though cattle or other livestock may have been grazed on it.

Woodland - This includes all land that is covered in woods or forests. It does not include woodland pasture.

Other land - This refers to all land not included in the other land use classifications, such as house and other building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, and land area of ponds and wasteland.

Livestock and poultry. Inventory data for livestock and poultry relate to the number on hand at the time of enumeration. All livestock and poultry were to be enumerated on the place where they were at the time of enumeration regardless of who owned them. Livestock on unfenced land were to be reported as being on the place identified as the headquarters of the person who had control over them.

Operator characteristics. Data were obtained to classify the operators according to the following seven characteristics:

Age of operator - Operators were classified by age into six groups. The average age was obtained by dividing the sum of the ages of all operators reporting by the number reporting.

Main occupation - If the operator devoted 50 percent or more of his/her work time to agricultural activities, his/her main occupation was considered to be agriculture, otherwise his/her occupation was considered to be nonagricultural.

Race of operator - The race, or national origin, of the operator was collected for the first time in 1993. Respondents were asked to choose between


Chamorro, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, White, or Other to describe their race or national origin.

Residence of operator - Operators were classified by residence according to whether or not they lived on the farms operated. Where all the land was rented from others or worked on shares for others, the dwelling was considered to be on the farm operated provided the dwelling he/she occupied was included in the rental agreement. In such cases, the dwelling was not necessarily on the land being operated. Similarly, an operator who did not live on the land being cultivated or grazed, but who had some agricultural operations (other than a home garden) at his/her dwelling, was considered to be living on the farm.

Sex of operator - Operators are classified as male or female.

Work off-farm - The extent to which operators rely on nonfarm sources for part of their income is indicated by the number of days worked off the farm during the year. Work off the farm was defined to include work on someone else's farm for pay as well as all types of nonfarm jobs, businesses, and professions whether the work was done on the farm premises or elsewhere. Exchange work was not included.

Years on present farm - Operators were classified by years on present farm into four groups. These data were based on the question asking the year the operator began operation of the present farm or any part of it.

Value of products sold. Data for value of products sold were obtained for each group of crops or main type of livestock sold from the farm. Data were obtained for sales of field and forage crops, vegetables, fruits and nuts, nursery crops, poultry and poultry products, cattle and calves, hogs and pigs, fish and other aquaculture products, other livestock and livestock products and chicken eggs.

Farms by age of operator. Enumerators entered the operator's age, as of his/her last birthday, on the report form. The computer edit classified the operator's age into one of the following age groups:

Under 35 years 35 to 44 years 45 to 54 years 55 to 64 years 65 years and over

Farms by size. All farms were classified by size on the basis of the total land area established in each farm. According to the census definition, a farm is essentially an operating unit, not an ownership tract. All land operated or managed by one person or partnership represents one farm. In the case of tenants, the land assigned to each tenant is considered a separate farm, even though the landlord may consider the entire landholding to be one unit rather than several separate units.

Farms by tenure of operator. In the 2018 census, all farms were classified by tenure of operator on the basis of data reported for land owned, rented from others, worked on shares for others, and managed for others. The same classification has been used since 1964. During processing operations, each report form was coded to indicate whether the operator was a full owner, part owner, or tenant.

Full owners - Operate only land they own

Part owners - Operate land they own and also land they rent from others

Tenants - Rent from others or work the land they operate on shares for others

Farms by value of agricultural products sold. All farms were classified on the basis of the total value of agricultural products sold. The total was obtained by adding the reported values of all products sold from the farm. The value of livestock, milk, poultry and eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts, all field crops, ornamental plants, and all other crops was obtained from the operator at the time of enumeration. The computer edit classified the value of agricultural products sold into one of the following groups:

Less than $1,200 $1,200 to $2,499 $2,500 to $4,999 $5,000 to $7,499 $7,500 to $9,999 $10,000 or more
