IntroductionAgricultural Statistics is published each year to meet the diverse need for a reliable ref-

erence book on agricultural production, supplies, consumption, facilities, costs, and returns. Itstables 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 prospective revisions, orthe statistical methodology used should be addressed directly to the agency credited with pre-paring the table. Most of the data were prepared or compiled in the U.S. Department of Agri-culture.

The historical series in this volume have been generally limited to data beginning with 1984or later.

Foreign agricultural trade statistics include Government as well as non-Government ship-ments of merchandise from the United States and Territories to foreign countries. They do notinclude U.S. shipments to the U.S. Armed Forces abroad for their own use or shipments be-tween the States and U.S. Territories. The world summaries of production and trade of majorfarm 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 mate-rials, reports of U.S. Agricultural Attachés and Foreign Service Officers, and the result of officeresearch.

Statistics presented in many of the tables represent actual counts of the items covered. Mostof the statistics relating to foreign trade and to Government programs, such as numbers andamounts of loans made to farmers, and amounts of loans made by the Commodity Credit Cor-poration, etc., are data of this type. A large number of other tables, however, contain datathat are estimates made by the Department of Agriculture.

The estimates for crops, livestock, and poultry made by the U.S. Department of Agricultureare prepared mainly to give timely current State and national totals and averages. They arebased on data obtained by sample surveys of farmers and of people who do business with farm-ers. The survey data are supplemented by information from the Censuses of Agriculture takenevery five years and check data from various sources. Being estimates, they are subject to revi-sion as more data become available from commerical or Government sources. Unless otherwiseindicated, the totals for the United States shown in the various tables on area, production,numbers, price, value, supplies, and disposition are based on official Department estimates.They exclude States for which no official estimates are compiled.

DEFINITIONS

‘‘Value of production’’ as applied to crops in the various tables, is derived by multiplyingproduction by the estimated season average price received by farmers for that portion of thecommodity actually sold. In the case of fruits and vegetables, quantities not harvested becauseof low prices or other economic factors are not included in value of production. The word‘‘Value’’ is used in the inventory tables on livestock and poultry to mean value of the numberof head on the inventory date. It is derived by multiplying the number of head by an estimatedvalue per head as of the date.

The word ‘‘Year’’ (alone) in a column heading means calendar year unless otherwise indi-cated. ‘‘Ton’’ when used in this book without qualifications means a short ton of 2,000 pounds.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS, 1994IV

WEIGHTS, MEASURES, AND CONVERSION FACTORS

The following table on weights, measures, and conversion factors covers the most importantagricultural products, or the products for which such information is most frequently asked ofthe U.S. Department of Agriculture. It does not cover all farm products nor all containers forany one product.

The information has been assembled from State schedules of legal weights, various sourceswithin the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other Government agencies. For most products,particularly fruits and vegetables, there is a considerable variation in weight per unit of vol-ume due to differences in variety or size of commodity, condition and tightness of pack, degreeto which the container is heaped, etc. Effort has been made to select the most representativeand fairest average for each product. For those commodities which develop considerable shrink-age, the point of origin weight or weight at harvest has been used.

The approximate or average weights as given in this table do not necessarily have officialstanding as a basis for packing or as grounds for settling disputes. Not all of them are recog-nized as legal weight. The table was prepared chiefly for use of workers in the U.S. Depart-ment 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 bar-rel, 5,826 cubic inches; and the standard fruit and vegetable barrel, 7,056 cubic inches. Such large-sized products as applesand potatoes sometimes are sold on the basis of a heaped bushel, which would exceed somewhat the 2,150.42 cubic inchesof a bushel basket level full. This also applies to such products as sweetpotatoes, peaches, green beans, green peas, spinach,etc.

because it required 70 pounds to yield 1 bushel, or 56 pounds, of shelled corn.11 For statistical purposes the bale of cotton is 500 pounds or 480 pounds net weight. Prior to Aug. 1, 1946, the net weight

was estimated at 478 pounds. Actual bale weights vary considerably, and the customary average weights of bales of foreigncotton differ from that of the American square bale.

12 This is the average weight of cottonseed, although the legal weight in some States varies from this figure of 32 pounds.13 Approximate inside dimensions, 91⁄4 by 101⁄2 by 15 inches.14 Approximate inside dimensions, 13⁄4 by 11 by 161⁄8 inches.15 Approximate inside dimensions, 111⁄2 by 111⁄2 by 24 inches.16 In California and Arizona from 1942 through 1953, the net weights as used by this Department were 77 pounds for or-

anges, 79 pounds for lemons, and 65 pounds for Desert Valleys grapefruit. Grapefruit in California areas, other than theDesert Valleys, averaged 68 pounds. The new weights effective in 1954 reflect the shift from the ‘‘box’’ to the other 1⁄2-boxcarton as the container used.

17 Approximate inside dimensions, 43⁄4 by 16 by 161⁄8 inches.18 Approximate inside dimensions, 97⁄8 by 13 by 25 inches.6 by 16 by 161⁄8 inches.19 Includes both sorghum grain (kafir, milo, hegari, etc.) and sweet sorghum varieties.20 This average of 55 pounds indicates the usual weight of sweetpotatoes when harvested. Much weight is lost in curing

or drying and the net weight when sold in terminal markets may be below 55 pounds.21 Case of 24 No. 21⁄2 cans.22 Case of 24 No. 303 cans.23 Varies widely by method of harvesting.24 The milk equivalent of ice cream per gallon is 15 pounds. Reports from plants indicate about 81 percent of the butterfat

in ice cream is from milk and cream, the remainder being from butter and concentrated milk. Thus the milk equivalent ofthe milk and cream in a gallon of ice cream is about 12 pounds.

25 This is equivalent to 4.51 bushels of wheat per barrel (196 pounds) of flour and has been used in conversions, beginningJuly 1, 1957. Because of changes in milling processes, the following factors per barrel of flour have been used for earlier peri-ods: 1790–1879, 5 bushels; 1880–1908, 4.75 bushels, 1909–17, 4.7 bushels; 1918 and 1919, 4.5 bushels; 1920, 4.6 bushels;1921–44, 4.7 bushels; July 1944–Feb. 1946, 4.57 bushels; March 1946–Oct. 1946, average was about 4.31 bushels; and Nov.1946–June 1957, 4.57 bushels.

Harvests of Northern Hemisphere countries are combined with those of the South-ern Hemisphere which immediately follow; thus the crop harvested in the Northern Hemisphere in 1988 is combined with esti-mates for the Southern Hemisphere Harvests, which begin late in 1988 and end early in 1989. 2 Harvested area as far aspossible. 3 Preliminary.
