The Regional Agricultural Profiles System is a tool to
retrieve, aggregate, and display a broad
array of data on U.S. agricultural land use and production
at various regional levels. The data
are from the 2002 Census of Agriculture, conducted by the
National Agricultural Statistics Service, U.S. Department
of Agriculture. The data tool includes a subset
of Census variables that cover basic farm characteristics,
agricultural land use, crop and livestock production, sales
of farm products, and government payments. Specifically,
variables are drawn from two summary tables,
Table
1. State Summary Highlights: 2002, and Table
2. Market Value of Agricultural Products Sold Including
Direct and Organic: 2002 and 1997. See the Census
table index for the complete list
of State-level tables.
Data may be reported at four
levels of spatial aggregation: county, State, ERS Farm
Resource Region, and USDA Farm Production Region (get
descriptions and more detail about the USDA regions).
The system aggregates published county-level Census data
to form the ERS Farm Resource Regions. State-level
data are aggregated to form the USDA Farm Production
Regions. Due to data disclosure
issues, reported data are generally
more complete when aggregated at a larger geographic scale
(see the Census
documentation for their disclosure policy). For the
various regional presentations of the data, the summary
tables returned by the query report both the number of
counties/States where data are withheld and the total
value of the withheld data items.
The two regional aggregations (ERS Farm Resource and USDA
Farm Production) are useful in using Census of Agriculture
data with other data sets reported at these aggregations.
For example, ERS'
Agricultural Resource Management Survey
(ARMS) data are reported at the Farm Resource Region level (see Customized
Data Summaries From ARMS, Farm
Structure and Finance tailored
reports, and Crop Production
Practices tailored reports).
USDA Farm Production Regions have been used extensively for data development
in support of U.S. agricultural sector modeling.
In addition to reporting standard Census variables, the
system provides "share of total" values at the county,
State, and regional level. These share values control
for reporting bias due to varying size and agricultural
intensity of reporting units and may permit more meaningful
comparisons across regions, States and counties. For example,
a simple mapping of livestock sales by county might suggest
a heavy concentration of livestock production in the Corn
Belt, while livestock sales expressed as a share of total
agricultural sales indicates that livestock production
may not be as dominant in the Corn Belt as in other regions.
Note that when the share of total of a given
variable is requested, the table reports values as a percentage
of the region (and not the nation).

Notes
Variables pertaining to farm sales—For purposes
of the Census of Agriculture, a farm is any place from
which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced
and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the
census year. This includes farms with sales of less than
$1,000, but with potential for at least $1,000 in sales
based on cropland acres or head of livestock. Federal farm
payments are also considered in identifying reporting farms
with less than $1,000 in agricultural sales. Thus, for
some user queries, farm sales totals or average
farm sales may be less than $1,000. For more discussion
of the issue, see the Appendix
documentation to the 2002 Census.
(D) Indicates that the value is withheld to avoid disclosing
data for individual farms.
(Z) Means that the value is less than half of
the unit shown.
