Land Values 2012 Summary (August 2012)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Statistical Methodology
June Area Survey
Survey Procedures: The estimates of land values in this report are based primarily on the June Area Survey, conducted
during the first two weeks of June. This annual survey uses a complete, probability-based land-area sampling frame. In
2012, the survey included a stratified sample of 11,085 land areas (segments), averaging approximately one square mile in
size.
Enumerators collecting data for the June Area Survey contact all agricultural producers operating land within the
boundaries of the sampled land segments and record land value information for cropland and pasture within these
segments. They also collect an estimated value of all land and buildings for the operator’s entire farming operation and the
estimated percent change from the previous year.
Survey reported data are reviewed for reasonableness and consistency by comparing with other data reported in the survey
and with data reported within the segment the previous year.
Estimating Procedures: Once the data are summarized, each Field Office (FO) conducts an analysis of the summarized
indications and any other available information for their State. FOs then set estimates for land values and submit these
recommendations along with their assessment of survey and other administrative information to the Agricultural Statistics
Board (ASB).
Survey data are also summarized for Regional and National levels and reviewed independently of each State’s review.
National targets are established by the ASB. After FO recommendations are submitted, the ASB reviews the FO estimates
and supporting comments and any conflicts with targeted National levels are resolved.
The State estimates are weighted by the amount of cropland and pasture in each state, based on the most recent Census of
Agriculture. For the purposes of this report, cropland pastured is defined as cropland.
Published Estimates: State averages are not published for States with limited reports and/or high variability of the survey
item’s reported data.
Revision Policy: For non-census years land values are subject to an annual revision the following year. After the 5-year
Census of Agriculture is completed, land value estimates for the non-census years are subject to a final historic revision.
The basis for revision must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate.
Reliability: The June Area Survey from which land value and cash rent estimates are made is subject to sampling and
non-sampling errors that are common to all surveys. Both types of errors affect the "accuracy" of the estimates. Sampling
error occurs because a complete census is not taken. The sampling error measures the variation in estimates from the
average of all possible samples. An estimate of 100 with a sampling error of 1.0 would mean that chances are 19 out of 20
(95 percent confidence interval) that the estimates from all possible samples averaged together would be between
98 and 102 (the survey indication plus or minus two times the sampling error).
The sampling errors from the 2012 area frame survey are listed below:

Farm Real Estate Value (%)
All Cropland Value (%)
Irrigated Cropland (%)
Non-irrigated Cropland (%)
Pasture Value (%)

Sampling errors cannot be applied directly to the values published in this report to determine confidence intervals since
the official estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source.
Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly and can occur in complete censuses as well as sample surveys. They are
caused by the inability to obtain correct information from each person sampled, differences in interpreting questions or
definitions, and mistakes in coding or processing data. To minimize non-sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are
used in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness.
Terms and Definitions
Farm: Any establishment from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or would normally be sold
during the year. Government payments are included in sales.
Farm real estate value: The value at which all land and buildings used for agriculture production including dwellings,
could be sold under current market conditions, if allowed to remain on the market for a reasonable amount of time.
Cropland value: The value of land used to grow field crops, vegetables or land harvested for hay. Land that switches
back and forth between cropland and pasture should be valued as cropland. Hay land, idle cropland and cropland enrolled
in government conservation programs should be valued as cropland.
Irrigated cropland value: The value of land that normally receives or has the potential to receive water by artificial
means to supplement natural rainfall. Irrigated cropland may consist of both land that will or will not be irrigated during
the current year, but still has the facilities and equipment to do so. Irrigation facilities and equipment such as wells,
pumps, canals, ditches, reservoirs, lakes, tanks, ponds, rivers, streams or creeks are usually present or on nearby acres.
Irrigated cropland is normally worth more than land without irrigation potential or facilities.
Non-irrigated cropland value: The value of land that only receives water by natural rainfall.
Pasture, grazing and grassland value: The value of land that is normally grazed by livestock. Pasture does not need to
have livestock grazing on it at the time of interview or during the current year in order to be valued as pasture or grazing
land.

  • 19. Statistical Methodology June Area Survey Survey Procedures: The estimates of land values in this report are based primarily on the June Area Survey, conducted during the first two weeks of June. This annual survey uses a complete, probability-based land-area sampling frame. In 2012, the survey included a stratified sample of 11,085 land areas (segments), averaging approximately one square mile in size. Enumerators collecting data for the June Area Survey contact all agricultural producers operating land within the boundaries of the sampled land segments and record land value information for cropland and pasture within these segments. They also collect an estimated value of all land and buildings for the operator’s entire farming operation and the estimated percent change from the previous year. Survey reported data are reviewed for reasonableness and consistency by comparing with other data reported in the survey and with data reported within the segment the previous year. Estimating Procedures: Once the data are summarized, each Field Office (FO) conducts an analysis of the summarized indications and any other available information for their State. FOs then set estimates for land values and submit these recommendations along with their assessment of survey and other administrative information to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). Survey data are also summarized for Regional and National levels and reviewed independently of each State’s review. National targets are established by the ASB. After FO recommendations are submitted, the ASB reviews the FO estimates and supporting comments and any conflicts with targeted National levels are resolved. The State estimates are weighted by the amount of cropland and pasture in each state, based on the most recent Census of Agriculture. For the purposes of this report, cropland pastured is defined as cropland. Published Estimates: State averages are not published for States with limited reports and/or high variability of the survey item’s reported data. Revision Policy: For non-census years land values are subject to an annual revision the following year. After the 5-year Census of Agriculture is completed, land value estimates for the non-census years are subject to a final historic revision. The basis for revision must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. Reliability: The June Area Survey from which land value and cash rent estimates are made is subject to sampling and non-sampling errors that are common to all surveys. Both types of errors affect the "accuracy" of the estimates. Sampling error occurs because a complete census is not taken. The sampling error measures the variation in estimates from the average of all possible samples. An estimate of 100 with a sampling error of 1.0 would mean that chances are 19 out of 20 (95 percent confidence interval) that the estimates from all possible samples averaged together would be between 98 and 102 (the survey indication plus or minus two times the sampling error). The sampling errors from the 2012 area frame survey are listed below: Farm Real Estate Value (%) All Cropland Value (%) Irrigated Cropland (%) Non-irrigated Cropland (%) Pasture Value (%) Land Values 2012 Summary (August 2012) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service United States 1.5 0.7 2.6 1.0 2.5 Regions (range low to high) 1.0 to 6.9 0.6 to 5.4 1.0 to 5.5 1.3 to 8.2 2.5 to 10.1 19
  • 20. Sampling errors cannot be applied directly to the values published in this report to determine confidence intervals since the official estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source. Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly and can occur in complete censuses as well as sample surveys. They are caused by the inability to obtain correct information from each person sampled, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, and mistakes in coding or processing data. To minimize non-sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are used in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. Terms and Definitions Farm: Any establishment from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were sold or would normally be sold during the year. Government payments are included in sales. Farm real estate value: The value at which all land and buildings used for agriculture production including dwellings, could be sold under current market conditions, if allowed to remain on the market for a reasonable amount of time. Cropland value: The value of land used to grow field crops, vegetables or land harvested for hay. Land that switches back and forth between cropland and pasture should be valued as cropland. Hay land, idle cropland and cropland enrolled in government conservation programs should be valued as cropland. Irrigated cropland value: The value of land that normally receives or has the potential to receive water by artificial means to supplement natural rainfall. Irrigated cropland may consist of both land that will or will not be irrigated during the current year, but still has the facilities and equipment to do so. Irrigation facilities and equipment such as wells, pumps, canals, ditches, reservoirs, lakes, tanks, ponds, rivers, streams or creeks are usually present or on nearby acres. Irrigated cropland is normally worth more than land without irrigation potential or facilities. Non-irrigated cropland value: The value of land that only receives water by natural rainfall. Pasture, grazing and grassland value: The value of land that is normally grazed by livestock. Pasture does not need to have livestock grazing on it at the time of interview or during the current year in order to be valued as pasture or grazing land. 20 Land Values 2012 Summary (August 2012) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
