Abstract

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) publishes series on prices paid and received by farmers. Current price estimates include monthly prices received for most major commodities and for selected production items. This volume describes NASS procedures for estimating prices and the related price indexes and outlines concepts underlying parity price calculations and the parity ratio. Methods used for the Farm Costs and Returns Survey are described. Finally, preparation of the farm employment and wage rate series is discussed.
