June Prices Received Index Up 1.0 Percent
The June Prices Received Index 2011 Base (Agricultural Production), at 89.2,
increased 1.0 percent from May but decreased 4.9 percent from June 2019. At
91.8, the Crop Production Index was down 3.3 percent from last month but up
2.1 percent from the previous year. The Livestock Production Index, at 86.7,
increased 5.0 percent from May, but decreased 11 percent from June last year.
Producers received higher prices during June for milk, oranges, broilers, and
lettuce but lower prices for hogs, market eggs, cantaloupes, and corn. In
addition to prices, the indexes are influenced by the volume change of
commodities producers market. In June, there was increased monthly movement
for wheat, hay, peaches, and cantaloupes and decreased marketing of
strawberries, oranges, milk, and cattle.
June Prices Paid Index Up 0.3 Percent
The June Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and
Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109.1, is up 0.3 percent from May 2020 but down
1.2 percent from June 2019. Higher prices in June for LP gas, feeder cattle,
other services, and gasoline more than offset lower prices for feeder pigs,
complete feeds, nitrogen, and hay and forages.

Parity Prices Overview
Parity prices based on data January and July 2020 and adjusted base price
data from which parity prices are computed, are presented in the table on
pages 26 through 31. Annual average prices for 2010 through 2019 for use in
parity computations, and ten-year averages for 2009-2018 and 2010-2019 are
shown on pages 32 through 41.
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 2020 it is the 2010-2019 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
June 2020 is given below.
The 120-month, January 2010-December 2019 average of prices received by
farmers for corn was $4.46 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 1031 (1910-1914=100).
The adjusted base price is obtained by dividing $4.46 by 10.31 (0.433). The
adjusted base price when multiplied by 2952 percent, the Parity Index
(1910-1914=100), results in the corn parity price of $12.90 for June 2020.

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 1,900 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: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year
estimation time, following five-year Census revisions, or when later
information is received. 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.
Program Changes: After the Council on Food, Agricultural and Resource
Economics (C-FARE) 2009 program review which included changes in farm production
practices, plans were implemented 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: updated the
current 1990-1992 base reference period to 2011; linked the 1910-1914 series to
the updated base reference period, 2011; created index groups used universally
by researchers, data users, and policymakers; and re-classified agricultural
commodities into the index groups. Also the modifications expanded the commodity
coverage for vegetable, melon, non-citrus, and tree nuts; updated monthly market
weights; and adjusted (normalized) current five year moving average cash
receipts and farm input cost weights.
Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and
replaced the annual average index with an annual index.
The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period
indexes to nearest tenth of a percent. The 1910-1914 base period indexes
remain rounded to the nearest whole number.
See Price Program Links at end of this report for program change details.
June Prices Paid by Farmers
The June Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and
Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109.1, is up 0.3 percent from May 2020 but down
1.2 percent from June 2019.
Production: The June index, at 104.7, is up 0.3 percent from May but down
2.3 percent from last year. Higher prices for LP gas, feeder cattle, other
services, and gasoline more than offset lower prices for feeder pigs,
complete feeds, nitrogen, and hay and forages.
Feed: At 101.2, the June index decreased 0.7 percent from May and
3.2 percent from last year. Since May, the prices for complete feeds, hay
and forages, and concentrates are lower than the previous month.
Livestock and poultry: The June index, at 90.6, increased 0.2 percent
from May but deceased 7.3 percent from last year. Since May, higher
prices for feeder cattle more than offset lower prices for feeder pigs.
The June feeder cattle price, at $132.00 per cwt, is up $2.00 per cwt
from the May price. The June feeder pigs price, at $33.00 per cwt, is
down $12.00 per cwt from last month.
Fertilizer: The index for June, at 73.1, is down 0.9 percent from May but
3.1 percent above June a year ago. Since May, higher prices for potash
and phosphate and mixed fertilizer more than offset lower prices for
nitrogen.
Chemicals: The June index, at 95.8, is up 1.3 percent from May but down
8.2 percent from last June.
Fuels: At 70.6, the June index is up 7.3 percent from May but down
2.2 percent from June 2019. Compared with May, prices are higher for LP
gas, gasoline, and diesel.
Machinery: The index for June, at 124.0, increased 0.5 percent from May
but deceased 0.5 percent from last June. Compared with last month, prices
are higher for other machinery and self-propelled machinery.
Consumer Price Index: The June 2020 Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U), as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased
0.6 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 257.797 (1982-
1984=100). For the month, the index increased 0.5 percent prior to seasonal
adjustment.

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. In January 2015, publication of preliminary prices was suspended, and
the annual average index was replaced by an annual index.
As of January 2014, the 1990-1992 base reference period was 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.
Modifications implemented January 2015 discontinued preliminary prices and
replaced the annual average index with an annual index.
The April 2015 program update discontinued publication of the annual March
survey prices paid data.
The February 2016 program update changed the rounding of the 2011 base period
indexes to nearest tenth of a percent. The 1910-1914 base period indexes
remain rounded to the nearest whole number.
