Introduction
Agricultural Statistics is published each year to meet the diverse needs for a
reliable reference book on agricultural production, supplies, consumption,
facilities, costs, and returns. Its tables of annual data cover a wide variety
of facts in forms suited to most common use.
Inquiries concerning more current or more detailed data, past and pro
spective revisions, or the statistical methodology used should be addressed
directly to the agency credited with preparing the table. Most of the data
were prepared or compiled in the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A few
tables were prepared in other Government agencies.
The historical series in this volume have been expanded to provide a more
complete reference than in any other recent edition. Volumes with similar
historical series were issued in 1957, 1952, and 1942. With the longer series
carried here, there should be a few occasions for the user to refer back to
earlier issues. Historical tables showing totals for the United States begin
with 1866 for the principal crops and with 1867 for January 1 livestock
numbers. Most other basic tables showing national totals begin with 1929,
1934, 1939 or 1944 (livestock and poultry tables 1 year later) depending in
part on the relative need for a long series.
Space in this issue is not sufficient to carry all series back to their beginning
but in general, enough years have been included in each case to meet the needs
of most users. It is expected that succeeding issues will carry historical
series for fewer years, but with references to the 1962 volume.
Agricultural data for Alaska and Hawaii are included in the United States
totals in the appropriate tables, where indicated, particularly in chapters
VIII, IX, and X. Only limited information is available in Alaskan agri
cultural production. Statistics for Hawaii are generally given in separate
tables in the commodity chapters, or in chapter XI.
U.S. foreign agricultural trade statistics include Government as well as
non-Government shipments of merchandise from all the United States and
territories to foreign countries. They do not include U.S. shipments to the
U.S. Armed Forces abroad for their own use or shipments between the States
and U.S. Territories. The world summaries of production and trade of major
farm products are prepared by the U. S. Department of Agriculture from
reports of the U.S. Department of Commerce, official statistics of foreign
Governments, other foreign source materials, reports of U.S. Agricultural
Attaches and Foreign Service Officers and the result of office research.
Three types of data are included in this volume. Statistics presented in
many of the tables represent actual counts of the items covered. Most of the
statistics relating to foreign trade and to Government programs, such as
numbers and amounts of loans made to farmers, and amounts of loans made
by the Commodity Credit Corporation, etc., are data of this type. A large
number of other tables, however contain data that are estimates made by the
Department of Agriculture, which in many cases are supplemented by a third
type of data obtained in census enumerations.
The estimates for crops, livestock, and poultry made by the U.S. Depart
ment of Agriculture are prepared mainly to give timely current State and
national totals and averages. They are based on "bench mark" data supplied
by the Censuses of Agriculture taken every 5 years and on sample data

IV AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
supplied by farmers and by people who do business with farmers, together
with check data from other sources. Being estimates, they are subject to
revisions as more data become available from commercial or Government
sources. Unless otherwise indicated, the totals for the United States shown
in the various tables on acreage, production, numbers, price, value, supplies,
and disposition are based on official Department estimates. They exclude
States for which no official estimates are compiled.
Revisions of basic series from 1954 to 1960, based on a review of the 1959
Census and other check data, have been completed and are carried in this
volume. Many of these series had been revised, and were carried in the 1961
issue, but this is the first volume reflecting such revisions in all series.
_. For census years, many tables carry both census totals and this Depart
ment's estimates. Generally, where there are appreciable differences between
the census totals and this Department's final estimates, the processes of
checking and revising estimates have indicated that some sources provide
more nearly complete information about some items than the census has been
able to obtain. For example, this Department's estimates of tobacco pro
duction can be considered more precise than census totals, because the esti
mates are revised in line with actual production as shown independently by
Internal Revenue records and State records of tobacco sales. Sugar beet
and sugarcane production and acreage estimates are adjusted to quantities
actually reported by sugar factories. Check information on peanuts and rice
is available from processors for areas sometimes including several States.
In a number of other instances allowances have been made for known in
completeness of coverage by the census.
For livestock and poultry, the Department's estimates of inventory num
bers relate to January 1. Most recent censuses have not enumerated num
bers on that date. The decennial censuses have usually related to April 1,
with the average date of enumeration falling somewhat later. The 1945
census was taken as of January 1, but with the trying wartime conditions,
was delayed over a considerable length of time in a number of States with the
result that reported inventory numbers did not always represent the actual
January 1 inventory. The 1950 census was taken as of April 1 and the 1954
and 1959 censuses were taken in October and November. These situations
have made it necessary to adjust census totals to a January 1 equivalent
basis, taking into account changes that occurred between the January 1 date
and the actual date of enumeration.
DEFINITIONS
"Farm value" as applied to crops in the various tables, is derived by
multiplying production by the estimated season average price received by
farmers for that portion of the commodity actually sold. In the case of fruits
and vegetables, however, quantities not harvested because of low prices or
other economic factors are excluded from the computation of farm value.
The term is used in the inventory tables on livestock and poultry to mean
value of the number of head on farms on January 1. It is derived by multi
plying the number of head by an estimated value per head as of that date.
The word "Year" (alone) in a column heading means calendar year. "Ton"
when'· used in this book without qualifications means a short ton of 2,000
pounds.
AGRICULTURAL STA'l'ISTICS v
WEIGHTS, MEASUR~S, AND CONVERSION FACTORS
The following table on weights, measures, and conversion factors covers
the most important agricultural products, or the products for which such in- ·
fQrmation is most frequently asked of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
It does not cover all farm products nor all containers for any one product. .
The information has been assembled from various sources within the
Department and from State schedules of legal weights. For most products,
particularly fruits and vegetables, there is a considerable variation in weight
per unit of volume, due to differences in variety or size of commodity, con
dition and tightness of pack, degree to which the container is heaped, etc.
Effort has been made to select the most representative and fairest average for
each product. For those commodities which develop considerable shrinkage,
the point of origin weight or weight at harvest has been used.
The approximate or average weights, as given in this table do not neces
sarily have official standing as a basis for packing or as grounds for settling
disputes. Not all of them are recognized as legal weight. The table was
prepared chiefly for use of workers in the U.S. Department of Agriculture
who have need of conversion factors in statistical computations.

1 Standard bushel used in the United States contains 2,150.42 cubic inches; the gallon, 231 cubic inches; the
cranberry barrel, 5,826 cubic inches; and the standard fruit and vegetable barrel, 7,056 cubic inches. Suoh large
sized products as apples and potatoes sometimes are sold on the basis of a heaped bushel, which would exceed
somewhat the 2,150.42 cubic inches of a bushel basket level full. This also applies to such products as sweet
potatoes, peaches, green beans, green peas, spinarh, etc.

" This is equivalent to 4.51 bushels of wheat per barrel (196 pounds) of flour and has been used in conversions
beginning July 1, 1957. Because of changes in milling processes the following factors per barrel of :flour have
been used for earlier periods: 1790-1879, 5 bushels; 1880-1908, 4.75 bushels; 1909-17, 4.7 bushels; 1918 and 1919, 4.5

CHAPTER I
STATISTICS OF GRAIN
This chapter contains tables for wheat, rye, rice, buckwheat, corn, oats, barley, sorghum
grain, and feed stuffs. Estimates are given of acreage, production, farm disposition, prices,
farm value, stocks and foreign production, and trade, and price support operations. The
United States tables on acreage, yield, production, value and foreign trade for wheat,
corn, and oats extend back to 1866 which is the beginning of the series. Comparable tables
for rye, rice, buckwheat, and barley, begin with 1924. Data for earlier years for these
crops have been in earlier issues of Agricultural Statistics. Estimates in greater detail are
published regularly by the Crop Reporting Board for commodities treated in this chapter.
Tables on sorgo sirup which might be expected in the sorghum group are included with
"sugar crops", and popcorn tables are placed with "minor field crops". Corn sugar and
corn sirup, however, are included in the corn tables.
A new table on corn utilization for grain, silage, and forage has been included in this
chapter.
The table showing percentage of total corn acreage planted with hybrid seed for corn
hybrids, has been dropped from this issue, since the series h:as been discontinued.
