Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: The rice stocks estimates in this report are based on surveys conducted during the first two weeks of June. Separate surveys were conducted to obtain the onfarm and offfarm estimates. The onfarm stocks survey is a probability survey based on a sampling procedure that ensures all operations storing rice in the United s have a chance to be selected. These producers were asked to provide the total quantities of grain stored on their operations as of June, 07 regardless of ownership. farm stocks are a census of all known rice storage facilities. An effort is made to obtain reports from all offfarm facilities. Estimates are made for missing facilities to assure complete coverage. Estimating Procedures: farm and offfarm survey data are reviewed at the and National levels for reasonableness, consistency with historical estimates, and current crop size. After estimates are made for onfarm and offfarm rice stocks, the total of these two are combined and evaluated using the balance sheet approach. This method utilizes other sources of data to check the reasonableness of the stocks estimates. Estimates of production, exports, and millings are reviewed to make sure beginning stocks, production, utilization, and ending stocks are within reasonable balance and present the best possible estimate of stocks. Revision Policy: farm and offfarm stocks are subject to revision in the quarter following initial publication and again in the following December Rice Stocks report published in January each year. Revisions can be made when late reports are received, errors are detected in reporting and calculating, and when production estimates are revised. Estimates will also be reviewed after data from the 5year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions to these years will be made after that date. Reliability: Reliability of the onfarm and offfarm stocks must be treated separately because the survey designs for the two surveys are drastically different. The onfarm stocks estimates are subject to sampling variability because all operations holding onfarm stocks are not included in the sample. Survey indications are also subject to nonsampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. farm, as well as onfarm stocks, are subject to these types of errors. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
