January Farm Prices Received Index Down 2 Points 

The January Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 99, based on 
2011=100, decreased 2 points (2.0 percent) from December. At 83, the January 
Crop Production Index is unchanged. At 123, the Livestock Production Index decreased 
4 points (3.2 percent). Producers received lower prices for milk, hogs and 
calves and higher prices for lettuce, broilers and broccoli. In addition to 
prices, the indexes are impacted by the five-year average monthly mix of 
commodities producers market. Increased monthly movement of soybeans, cattle, 
and lettuce offset the decreased broiler, cotton, and egg marketings.

The Prices Received Index is down 1 point (1.0 percent) from January 2014. 
The Food Commodities Index, at 110, decreased 5 points (4.3 percent) from the 
previous month and 1 point (0.9 percent) from January 2014.

January Prices Paid Index Down 2 Points

The January Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, 
Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109 percent (2011=100), is down 
2 points (1.8 percent) from December but is 1 point (0.9 percent) above 
January 2014. Lower prices in January for feeder cattle, concentrates, 
diesel, and herbicides more than offset higher prices for other services, 
complete feeds, share rents, and taxes.

Parity Prices

Parity prices based on data January 2015 and adjusted base price data from 
which parity prices are computed, are presented in the table on pages 47 
through 50. Annual average prices for 2005 through 2014 for use in parity 
computations, and ten-year averages for 2004-2013 and 2005-2014 are shown on 
pages 52 through 61.

Parity Prices shown on the following pages 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 major provisions of the amended Act relating to the calculation of parity 
prices are as follows:

"(1) (A) The 'parity price' for any agricultural commodity, as of any date, 
shall be determined by multiplying the adjusted base price of such commodity 
as of such date by the parity index as of such date."

"(B) The 'adjusted base price' of any agricultural commodity, as of any date, 
shall be (i) the average of the prices received by farmers for such 
commodity, at such time as the Secretary may select during each year of the 
ten-year period ending on the 31st of December last before such date, or 
during each marketing season beginning in such period if the Secretary 
determines use of a calendar year basis to be impracticable, divided by (ii) 
the ratio of the general level of prices received by farmers for agricultural 
commodities during the period January 1910 to December 1914, inclusive."

"(C) The 'parity index', as of any date, shall be the ratio of (i) the 
general level of prices for articles and services that farmers buy, wages 
paid hired farm labor, interest on farm indebtedness secured by farm real 
estate, and taxes on farm real estate, for the calendar month ending last 
before such date to (ii) the general level of such prices, wages, rates, and 
taxes during the period January 1910 to December 1914, inclusive."

"(D) The prices and indexes provided for herein, and the data used in 
computing them, shall be determined by the Secretary, whose determination 
shall be final."

Section 301(a) (1) (F) outlines authority for the Secretary of Agriculture to 
make special adjustments in the method of computing parity prices for 
particular commodities if the method outlined in the Act results in parity 
prices seriously out of line with those of other commodities.

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 2014 it is the 2004-2013 average). 
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.

The indexes used in the computation of parity prices are published currently 
in Agricultural Prices. For the purpose of illustrating the computation of 
parity prices, the calculation of the parity price for corn based on data for 
January 2014 is given below.

The 120-month, January 2005-December 2014 average of prices received by 
farmers for corn was $4.29 per bushel, adjusted to allow for unredeemed loans 
and other supplemental payments resulting from price support operations. The 
120-month average of the Index of Prices Received by Farmers, adjusted to 
include an allowance for unredeemed loans, etc., was 967 (1910-1914=100). The 
adjusted base price is obtained by dividing $4.29 by 9.67. The adjusted base 
prices when multiplied by 2959 percent, the Parity Index (1910-1914=100), 
results in the corn parity price of $13.10 for January 2015.

Parity Ratio

The parity ratio (the Index of Prices Received by Farmers for the products 
they sell divided by the Parity Index (1910-1914=100) provides an indication 
of the per unit purchasing power of farm commodities generally in terms of 
the goods and services currently bought by farmers, in relation to purchasing 
power of farm products in the 1910-1914 base period. Thus, a Parity Ratio 
less than 100 indicates that the average per unit purchasing power of all 
farm products is lower than during the 1910-1914 period.

The parity ratio is a measure of price relationships. The ratio is not a 
measure of farm income, farmers' total purchasing power, or farmers' welfare. 
The latter depends upon a number of factors other than price relationships, 
such as changes in production efficiency and technology, quantities of farm 
products sold, and supplementary income, including that from off-farm jobs 
and federal programs.

An adjusted parity ratio is computed and published which incorporates 
supplementary income for federal farm programs. A "preliminary adjusted 
parity ratio reflecting government payments" based on the forecast of direct 
government payments for the year is published each quarter in Agricultural 
Prices.

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 1900 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: For most items, the current month's preliminary price represents a 
3-5 day period around the 15th of the month. Previous month's prices 
represent actual dollars received for quantities sold during the entire 
month. 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.

After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource Economics (C-FARE) 2009 
program review which included changes in farm production practices, plans were 
implement to make necessary program improvements in the agricultural price 
program. The index group structure for prices received was modified to maintain 
a more universal structure and consistency with the required 1910-1914 series. 
Modifications implemented January 2014 include the following: 
• Update the current 1990-1992 base reference period to 2011, 
• Link the 1910-1914 series to the updated base reference period, 2011, 
• Create index groups used universally by researchers, data users, and 
policymakers, 
• Re-classify agricultural commodities into the index groups, 
• Expand the commodity coverage for vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree 
nuts, 
• Update monthly market weights, and 
• Adjust (normalization) current five year moving average cash receipts and 
farm input cost weights.

January Prices Paid by Farmers

The January Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, 
Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109 (2011=100), is down 1.8 percent 
from December 2014 but is up 0.9 percent from January 2014. 
 
Production index: The January index, at 111, is down 1.8 percent from last 
month but is 0.9 percent higher than last year. Lower prices for feeder 
cattle, concentrates, diesel, and herbicides more than offset higher prices 
for other services, complete feeds, share rents and taxes. 

Feed: The January index, at 105, decreased 1.9 percent from December 
and 6.2 percent from last January. Since December, lower prices for 
concentrates and hay & forages more than offset higher prices for 
complete feeds, supplements, and feed grains.

Livestock and poultry: The January index, at 161, decreased 6.9 percent 
from last month but is up 26 percent from last year. Since December, 
lower prices were reported for feeder cattle, feeder pigs, and milk 
cows. The January feeder cattle price, at $232.00 per cwt, is down 
$18.00 per cwt from the December price. January feeder pigs averaged 
$200.00 per cwt, down $17.00 per cwt from December.

Fertilizer: The January index, at 94, is unchanged from December but is 
3.3 percent above January a year ago. Since December, higher prices for 
mixed fertilizer and nitrogen offset lower prices for potash & 
phosphate.

 Chemicals: The January index, at 101, is down 9.0 percent from 
December and 8.2 percent below last January. Compared with last month, 
prices are lower for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides/other.

Fuels: The January index, at 68, is down 14 percent from a month 
earlier and is 35 percent below January 2014. Compared to December, 
prices are lower for diesel, gasoline, and LP gas.

Machinery: The January index, at 112, increased 0.9 percent from 
December and 0.9 percent from last January. Compared with last month, 
prices are higher for other machinery and self-propelled machinery.

Consumer price index: The December 2014 Consumer Price Index, as issued by 
the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers (CPI-U) decreased 
0.6 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 234.812 (1982-1984=100). 
The November index is 236.151. For the 12 month period ending in December, 
the overall index increased 0.8 percent.

Reliability of Prices Paid Estimates

Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs 
purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce agricultural commodities. 
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 most items is the five business days centered at the 15th of the month. 
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. 

Program change: Effective January 2014, the National Agricultural Statistics 
Service modified the five-year moving weights and updated the base reference 
period. 

As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period is updated to 2011. 
Five-year moving average weights are adjusted (normalized) to minimize the 
effects of price changes. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by 
statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes 
in the new 2011=100 indexes. The new indexes were constructed by multiplying 
the ratios of the current prices to the base period prices by the moving 
average weights.
