HISTORY

The 1987 Census of Agriculture is tlie 23d tal<en by the
U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census. The
first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as part of the
sixth decennial census of population. From 1840 to 1950,
an agriculture census was taken as part of the decennial
census. A separate mid-decade census of agriculture was
conducted in 1925, 1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, a
census of agriculture was taken for the years ending in 4
and 9. In 1976, Congress authorized the census of agri-
culture to be taken for 1 978 and 1 982 to adjust the data
reference year so that it coincided with the economic
censuses covering manufacturing, mining, construction,
retail trade, wholesale trade, service industries, and selected
transportation activities. This adjustment in timing estab-
lished the agriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting
data for years ending in 2 and 7.

USES OF THE CENSUS

The census of agriculture is the leading source of
statistics about the Nation's agricultural production and the
only source of consistent, comparable data at the county.
State, and national levels. Census statistics are used by
Congress in developing and changing farm programs and
for determining the effects of these programs. Many
national and State programs are designed or allocated on
the basis of census data, such as funds for extension
services, research, and soil conservation projects. Private
industry uses census statistics to provide a more effective
production and distribution system for the agricultural
community.

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED

The census of agriculture is required by law under Title
13, United States Code, sections 142(a) and 191, which
directs that a census be taken in 1 979, 1 983, and in every



fifth year after 1983 covering the prior year. The 1987
census includes each State, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the
Virgin Island of the United States. A census of agriculture
will be conducted in American Samoa and the Common-
wealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in conjunction with
the 1990 Census of Population and Housing.

FARM DEFINITION

Since 1850, when minimum criteria defining a farm for
census purposes first were established, the farm definition
has been changed nine times. The current definition, first
used for the 1974 census, is any place from which $1,000
or more of agricultural products were produced and sold or
normally would have been sold during the census year.
The farm definition used for the outlying areas varies
according to area. The report for each area includes a
discussion of the farm definition.



COMPARABILITY OF DATA

Data on acreages and inventories for 1987 and 1982
are generally comparable. Dollar figures shown for expenses
and agricultural product sales are expressed in current
dollars and have not been adjusted for inflation or defla-
tion. In general, data for censuses since 1974 are not fully
comparable with data for 1 969 and earlier censuses due to
changes in the farm definition.

The 1978 U.S., region, and State data shown in the
1 978 Census of Agriculture publications included data for
farms on the mail list plus estimates from an area sample
for farms not on the mail list. For comparability, the 1978
data in the 1987 publications include only farms on the
mail list.



TABULAR PRESENTATION

State data— Tables 1 through 47 in chapter 1 show
detailed State-level data usually accompanied by historical
data for one or more past censuses. Tables 48 through 53
provide 1 987 State data cross-tabulated by various farm
classifications.

County data — Chapter 2 presents selected data items
by county. Tables 1 through 16 include general data for all
counties. The counties are listed in alphabetical order in
the column headings. Tables 17 through 36 include only



1987 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE



INTRODUCTION VM



counties reporting the data item. Counties not having the
item, or with a limited number of farms reporting the item,
have data combined and presented as "all other counties."

ADVANCE REPORTS

Advance reports of 1 987 census data have been pub-
lished separately for each county with 10 farms or more,
each State, and the United States. This series provided, at
the earliest possible date, final data on major data items
together with comparable final data from the 1 982 census.
Data items are standard across States except information
on selected crops harvested, which vary by State accord-
ing to their relative importance in the State.

ELECTRONIC DATA DISSEMINATION

The volume 1 data are available on computer tapes and
compact disc. The advance report data are available on
computer tapes, computer diskettes, and through elec-
tronic data services such as the AG R I DATA network, the
CENDATA package on Dialog, CompuServe on-line ser-
vices, and the Census Bureau's State Data Center Bulletin
Board. Computer tapes, diskettes, and compact discs are
sold by the Customer Services Branch, Data User Services
Division, Bureau of the Census, Washington, D.C. 20233
(telephone (301) 763-4100).

SPECIAL TABULATIONS

Custom designed tabulations can be developed to
individual user specifications on a programming cost reim-
bursable basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should
be directed to the Chief, Agriculture Division, Bureau of the
Census, Washington, D.C. 20233.

CENSUS DISCLOSURE RULES

In keeping with the provisions of Title 13, United States
Code, no data are published that would disclose the
operations of an individual farm. However, the number of



farms in a given size category or other classification, such
as size of farm, is not considered a release of confidential
information and is provided even though other information
is withheld.



INVENTORIES, PRODUCTION, AND SALES
DATA



Inventories of livestock, poultry, and machinery and
equipment are measured as of December 31 of the census
year. Crop and livestock production, sales, and expense
data are for the calendar year, except for a few crops (such
as citrus) for which the production year overlaps the
calendar year.



ABBREVIATIONS AND SYMBOLS

The following abbreviations and symbols are used through-
out the tables:

Represents zero.

(D) Withheld to avoid disclosing data for individual

farms.

(IC) Independent city.

(NA) Not available.

(S) Withheld because estimate did not meet pub-

lication standards on the basis of either the
response rate (associated relative standard
error) or a consistency review.

(X) Not applicable.

(Z) Less than half of the unit shown.

cwt Hundredweight.

sq ft Square feet.
