5 Introduction This publication presents 0 potato estimates of acreage, yield per acre, production, farm disposition, season average price, value, and utilization of sales including processing with historic comparisons. Also included are first of the month potato stocks (December through June) for the major fall potato producing States. Monthly prices, farm marketings, percent of acreage planted by type, and certified seed acres are also included for selected States. Production, disposition, and value data for Alaska are shown separately. These estimates are based on information furnished by crop reporters, processors, and cooperating State or Federal Agencies. The various sources include: Market News Service rail and truck shipments, FederalState inspections, and miscellaneous data available through marketing programs. Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale. These prices are applied to total production to compute value of production and to the quantity sold to compute value of sales. Some unsold potatoes contribute to the value of production, including farm use for seed, feed, home use, and loss. The United States season average price is obtained by weighting State prices by quantities sold. Potato production, utilization, and value of sales in each State have been classified by season according to the period when the largest supplies are harvested. The four seasons are as follows: Season Winter Spring Summer Fall Usual Time of Harvest January through March April through June July to MidSeptember August through November A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Seasons are not fixed dates but are approximations because of overlapping harvests. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall potatoes, when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. Thus, the marketing year for fall potatoes is from the start of harvest through August of the following year. Potatoes 0 Summary (September 0)

28 Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: Potato estimates are the results of a variety of surveys. Summer and fall potatoes are included in the June and December Quarterly Agricultural Surveys, but also follow Grower Special Surveys. For spring potatoes, March Quarterly Agricultural Surveys and Grower Special Surveys are the source of data. Telephone followup of mail survey nonrespondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Special grower disposition surveys are conducted at the end of each season to provide additional details about the crop. Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the special grower disposition surveys along with federal administrative data is used to establish estimates of acreage, production, amount sold, and usage on farm where grown. These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. Revision Policy: All estimates for the previous crop year can be revised at this time. However, acreage is rarely updated. Endofseason estimates of production are made following harvest and are subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available data. Reliability: Survey results are subject to nonsampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
