DAIRY STATISTICS and

Related Series

Prepared in the Agricultural Marketing Service

This publication brings to date and expands the statistical coverage presented in "Dairy Statistics and Related Series," last issued by the U. s. Department of Agriculture in October 1953, and replaces that pUblication. Under the statistical program of the Agricultural Marketing Service, a continuing effort is made to pro­vide comprehensive data as background for making analyses of the different segments of our agriculture. Similar compendiums have been published for a number of other camm~ties, including cotton, fats and oils, and feeds. All these reports contain only selected series. A sUbstantially larger handbook of dairy statistics is being planned. Suggestions as to its content will be welcomed.

The data in this bulletin are designed to help farmers, agricultural agents and other workers, and the dairy industry generally, in interpreting current changes and in appraising future prospects in the light of past experiences for the several aspects of the dairy industry. Abstracts of many of the monthly series are carried regularly on page 2 of The Dairy Situation. Sources for comparable current data are indicated in connection w1 th most of the tables in this bulletin. Because of impending revisions at the time of submitting this report for publication, a few tables that were in the October 1953 edition have been omitted. These tables include those relating to milk sales by farmers and to fluid milk consumption, and consist of tables 4, 73, 74, and 89 in the 1953 edition. Revised data for part of these tables are carried in "Milk - Farm Production, Disposition, and Income, 1954-55" issued by the Agricultural Marketing Service in mid-April 1956. Some of the revised tables will be carried in forthcoming issues of The Dairy Situation. Since revisions in several of' the series are made as better information becomes available, it is suggested that reference be made to the sources cited before using the data for any purpose where sUbsequent changes cannot be readily made.

Y Based • on periodic replies from a total of about 6,000 dairy reporters to the question, "How many pounds of grain (including mill feeds and concentrates) were fed yesterday to all milk cows on your farm?" The series is based on quarterly reports (February 1, May 1, August 1, and November l) from all States, with intervening months interpolated using monthly reports from about a dozen States where dairying is relatively important.

Y Based on replies from about 15,000 crop reporters. Data from the crop reporters differ from that from dairy reporters shown in table 12 in that they represent farmers reporting a variety of crop and livestock operations rather than dairying alone, whose herds are smaller in size, and who usual.l.y give less specialized attention to the dairy enterprise.

1/ The net amount of' milk {equivalent) used in making ice cream and miscellaneous frozen products {milk f'at basis) has been estimated annually beginning with 1916 by the Agricultural Marketing Service on the basis of total quantity of milk fat used in f'rozen dairy products and deductin~approximate quantities supplied in the form of butter and condensed whole milk. {These quantities are included in the tables on butter and evaporated and condensed whole milk.) Approx­imate allowance for this duplication was made for the years prior to 1916 on basis of the magnitude of duplication in 1924-29 and the estimated quantity of' ice cream produced 1909-15. 2/ Output 1909-15 approximated on basis of Census of Manufactures f'or 1914 and revised AMS estimates for 1916-39; 1940 to date, as published by the Agricultural Marketing Service in Production of Manufactured Dairy Products. Production reported in gallons, converted to pounds assuming a gallon of ice cream weighed 4.7 pounds through 1939 and 4.8 pounds since 1952; slightly lower weights prevailed during the war and early postwar years. ]./ Preliminary.
