Statistical Methodology

Data Collection Period: Dairy products estimates are based upon survey data 
collected after the close of each month. Production data are provided by the 
firms producing dairy products.

Sampling frames and sample size: In 2014, there were 1,267 manufacturers that 
produced one or more dairy products. In states with small numbers of plants, 
reports are received from all plants each month. In states with large numbers 
of plants, survey procedures are designed to obtain monthly reports from all 
large plants and from a sample of small plants. In some states, the State 
Departments of Agriculture assist in collection of data, which eliminates 
duplicate reporting and reduces respondent burden.  

Modes of data collection: Data are collected by mail, personal and telephone 
interviews, facsimile, and via electronic mail.

Terms and definitions: Firms complete the questionnaire using standard 
industry definitions and through the aid of instructions and definitions 
provided on the questionnaire.

Reliability: Data for the Dairy Products report are collected by a Census of 
all known manufacturers of dairy products in the United States. Firms 
producing large quantities of dairy products, along with a sample of smaller 
firms, are contacted monthly to collect previous month production data. Those 
small firms not contacted monthly are contacted after the close of the year 
to obtain previous year production. Production of products at small firms not 
contacted monthly are estimated during the monthly survey based upon check 
data, and state and national trends. Small firms are defined as those that do 
not make up a significant portion of the published total. Plants storing 
nonfat dry milk and dry whey are required under Federal law as defined in 
Public Laws 106-532 and 107-171 to complete the Dairy Products report. Plants 
storing these items are contacted monthly. Additionally, many state 
governments have mandated that dairy plants in their state complete the Dairy 
Products report each month. Because the Dairy Products survey is a census, 
sampling error should not affect the final estimates, however non-sampling 
errors are possible.

Estimating Procedures: In the Regional Field Office (RFO), data reported by 
firms are reviewed for reasonableness and consistency by comparing with data 
reported in prior months and by data reported by other firms in the State. 
Each RFO summarizes data at the Individual State level. State estimates are 
submitted to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB) along with supporting 
comments where they are compared with surrounding states, their region, and 
national trends. During both RFO and ASB review, plants are sometimes 
contacted again for further verification of numbers reported. After ASB 
review, RFO data are summarized into a National level summary.    

Revision Policy: Monthly estimates are subject to revision the month 
following the preliminary estimates. Annual estimates are published in late 
April in the Dairy Products Yearly Summary report which includes any 
revisions made to previous 2 years of estimates. Revisions are generally due 
to plant data that are received too late to be included in the current 
report.
