Agricultural Prices ISSN: 1937-4216 Released November 30, 2023, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). October Prices Received Index Down 6.3 Percent The October Prices Received Index 2011 Base (Agricultural Production), at 114.1, decreased 6.3 percent from September and 11 percent from October 2022. At 104.0, the Crop Production Index was down 7.6 percent from last month and 14 percent from the previous year. The Livestock Production Index, at 133.5, increased 0.3 percent from September, but decreased 4.1 percent from October last year. Producers received lower prices for corn, hogs, soybeans, and apples but higher prices during October for milk, calves, cattle, and dry beans. In addition to prices, the volume change of commodities marketed also influences the indexes. In October, there was decreased marketing of cattle, milk, broilers, and wheat and increased monthly movement for soybeans, corn, cotton, and calves. October Prices Paid Index Up 0.1 Percent The October Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 138.8, is up 0.1 percent from September 2023 and 0.1 percent from October 2022. Higher prices in October for feeder cattle, wage rates, nitrogen, and potash & phosphate more than offset lower prices for complete feeds, concentrates, feed grains, and gasoline.

Parity prices are computed under the provisions of Title III. Subtitle A, Section 301(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as amended by the Agricultural Acts of 1948, 1949, 1954, and 1956. The parity prices shown in this report are based on the provisions of the amended Act. Briefly, the actual method of computation is as follows: a. The average of prices received by farmers for individual commodities for the 10 preceding years is calculated (for 2023, the 10-average includes the years 2013-2022). An allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental payments resulting from price support programs, such as the deficiency payments for grains and cotton, is included for those commodities for which applicable. b. This 10-year average is divided by the average of the Index of Prices Received by Farmers for the same 10 preceding calendar years, adjusted to include an allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental price support operations, to give an "adjusted base price". c. Parity prices are computed by multiplying the "adjusted base prices" by the current Parity Index (the Index of Prices Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Wage Rates, 1910-1914=100). Parity prices are calculated in terms of prices received by farmers in the local markets in which they ordinarily sell. This means that the parity prices apply to the average of all classes and grades of the commodity as sold by all farmers in the United States, except as otherwise specified. Fruits and vegetables for fresh use and for processing are usually considered separate commodities and separate parity prices are calculated. The Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 provided for parity prices for certain commodities covered by a marketing agreement or order program. Under present legislation, United States parity prices, with appropriate adjustments where needed, may be used for the purpose of this Act.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash receipts for the commodity. Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about 1,900 mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total United States production. Livestock prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and livestock are not included since they represent very small percentages of the total sales. Grain marketed for seed is also excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities. Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on expanded sales. Recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent historic estimates. Revisions: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year estimation time, following five-year Census revisions, or when later information is received. Revisions are published in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices. Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for non-probability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non- sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors. Program Changes: See Price Program Links at the end of this report for details on program changes to the Prices Program methodology. October Prices Paid by Farmers The October Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 138.8, is up 0.1 percent from September 2023 and 0.1 percent from October 2022. Production: The October index, at 136.0, is down 0.1 percent from September and 1.4 percent from last year. Lower prices for complete feeds, concentrates, feed grains, and gasoline more than offset higher prices for feeder cattle, nitrogen, potash & phosphate, and milk cows. Feed: At 123.9, the October index decreased 2.1 percent from September and 12 percent from last October. Since September, prices are lower for complete feeds, concentrates, feed grains, supplements, and hay & forages. Livestock and poultry: The October index, at 165.5, increased 1.9 percent from September and 34 percent from last year. Since September, prices are higher for feeder cattle and feeder pigs. The October feeder cattle price, at $250.00 per cwt, is up $4.00 per cwt from the September price. The October feeder pigs price, at $96.00 per cwt, is up $5.00 per cwt from September. Fertilizer: The index for October, at 107.1, is up 1.4 percent from September, but down 27 percent from October a year ago. Since September, higher prices for nitrogen and potash & phosphate more than offset lower prices for mixed fertilizer. Chemicals: The October index, at 125.9, is up 0.5 percent from September, but down 17 percent from last October. Fuels: At 95.9, the October index is down 3.0 percent from September and 12 percent from October 2022. Compared with September, prices are lower for gasoline, LP gas, and diesel. Machinery: The index for October, at 161.0, increased 0.4 percent from September and 0.8 percent from last October. Compared with last month, prices are higher for self-propelled machinery, tractors, and other machinery. Consumer Price Index: The October 2023 Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased 3.2 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 307.671 (1982- 1984=100). For the month, the index decreased 0.1 percent prior to seasonal adjustment.

Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should equal total producer expenditures for the item. Survey procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that sell goods and services to farmers and ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average response rate in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the price for the specified item "most commonly bought by farmers" or that was the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to represent all production input items purchased. The survey reference period for all items is the full preceding calendar year. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed. Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is summarized as a non-probability survey. Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from expenditure data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices and Headquarters for review by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price level for individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and United States levels, and are published as prices paid indexes referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor supplies, and marketing containers are updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indexes. Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely for March when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change. Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non- sampling errors.
