Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Crop progress and condition estimates are based on survey
data collected each week from early April through the end of November. The
non-probability crop progress and condition surveys include input from
approximately 4,000 respondents whose occupations provide them opportunities
to make visual observations and frequently bring them in contact with farmers
in their counties. Based on standard definitions, these respondents
subjectively estimate the progress of crops through various stages of
development, as well as the progress of producer activities. They also
provide subjective evaluations of crop conditions.
Most respondents complete their questionnaires on Friday or early Monday
morning and submit them to the National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS) Field Offices in their States by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail, or
through a secured internet website. A small number of reports are completed
on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Regardless of when questionnaires are
completed, respondents are asked to report for the entire week ending on
Sunday. For reports submitted prior to the Sunday reference date, a degree of
uncertainty is introduced by projections for weekend changes in progress and
condition. By the end of the 2011 season, over 90 percent of the data were
being submitted through the internet website. As a result, the majority of
all data are submitted on Monday morning, significantly reducing projection
uncertainty.
Respondents are sent written reporting instructions at the beginning of each
season and are contacted periodically to ensure proper reporting. Terms and
definitions of crop stages and condition categories used as reporting
guidelines are available on the NASS website at
www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/National_Crop_Progress.
Estimating Procedures: Reported data are reviewed for reasonableness and
consistency by comparing with data reported the previous week and data
reported in surrounding counties for the current week. Each State Field
Office summarizes the reported data to district and State levels, weighting
each county's reported data by NASS county acreage estimates. Summarized
indications are compared with previous week estimates, and progress items are
compared with earlier stages of development and historical averages to ensure
reasonableness. Weather events and respondent comments are also taken into
consideration. State estimates are submitted to the Agricultural Statistics
Board (ASB) along with supporting comments, where they are compared with
surrounding States and compiled into a National level summary by weighting
each State by its acreage estimates.
Revision Policy: Progress and condition estimates in the Crop Progress report
are released after 4:00 pm ET on the first business day of the week. These
estimates are subject to revision the following week.
