      Surveys

      Prices Paid Surveys and Indexes

      
      

      NASS conducts five surveys every year in mid-March to collect information from agribusinesses on the prices producers paid for recent sales of approximately 450 key agricultural inputs. The prices paid surveys collect information on agricultural chemicals (including fertilizer), farm machinery, feeds, fuels, and retail seed.

      NASS uses the price estimates to calculate the Index of Production Items, which is one of five components in the overall Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW). The other PPITW component indexes are a) interest paid and interest rate on farm indebtedness, b) taxes paid on farm real estate, c) wage rates paid to hired farm labor, and d) prices paid for family living items.

      Get the data from the results of this survey.

      Each survey collects data from selected panels of around 2,000 agribusinesses in the 48 contiguous states, although not all states survey items in all categories. From the data collected, NASS computes average national prices agricultural producers pay for the items surveyed. The estimates are used to revise and benchmark the previous year prices paid indexes. Feeder livestock price estimates and feed-price ratios are published monthly.
      

      NASS publishes the PPITW and the component and subcomponent indexes monthly in both Agricultural Prices and QuickStats, using additional data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), and the USDA Economic Research Service (ERS). The indexes measure the change in the level of prices producers pay for production inputs, interest, taxes, wage rates, and family living items relative to a base period (1990‑1992=100). Revisions to the indexes are published monthly in QuickStats and quarterly in Agricultural Prices (January, April, July, October).

      NASS also converts the indexes to the parity base period (1910-1914=100), as required by statute, to create the Parity Index.
