Crop Progress and Condition Survey and Estimating Procedures

Survey Procedures: Crop progress and condition estimates are based on
survey data that are collected each week from early April to the end of
November. The Crop progress and condition surveys are non-probability
surveys that include a sample of more than 5,000 reporters 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 reporters subjectively estimate progress
of farmers' activities and progress of crops through their stages of
development. They also provide subjective evaluations of crop conditions.

Most reporters complete their questionnaire on Friday or early Monday
morning and submit it to the Agricultural Statistics Service's office in
their State 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 the time that the questionnaire is
completed, reporters are asked to report for the week ending on Sunday.
For reports submitted prior to the Sunday reference date, a degree of
uncertainty is introduced into the projections for weekend progress and
crop condition changes. By the end of the 2001 season, nearly two-thirds
of the data were being submitted through the internet website. As a
result, about one-half of all data are submitted on Monday morning, which
has significantly reduced this projection uncertainty.

Reporters 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 that are
used as reporting guidelines are available on the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) website at: www.usda.gov/nass/pubs/cwterms.htm.

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
Statistical 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 reporter 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 preliminary and subject to corrections or
updates in the "Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin" National Summary that
is released after 12:00 pm ET on the second business day of the week.
These estimates are then subject to revision the following week.
