Agricultural Statistics is published each year to meet the diverse
need 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. 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. The
estimates for crops, livestock, and poultry made by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture are prepared mainly to give timely
current State and national totals and averages. They are based on
data obtained by sample surveys of farmers and of people who do
business with farmers. The survey data are supplemented by
information from the Censuses of Agriculture taken every five years
and check data from various sources. Being estimates, they are
subject to revision 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 area, production,
numbers, price, value, supplies, and disposition are based on
official Department estimates. They exclude States for which no
official estimates are compiled. Extensive table data include
statistics of the following: *Statistics of Grain and Feed *Cotton,
Tobacco, Sugar Crops, and Honey *Oilseeds, Fats, and Oils
*Vegetables and Melons *Hay, Seeds, and Minor Field Crops *Cattle,
