2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION V

Introduction

HISTORY

For more than 150 years, the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, conducted the census of

agriculture. The 1997 Appropriations Act transferred the responsibility from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S.

Department of Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), and the 1998 Census of Agriculture

was the first census in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) conducted by NASS.

The census of agriculture is taken to obtain agricultural statistics for each county, State (including territories and

protectorates), and the Nation. The first U.S. agricultural census data were collected in 1840 as a part of the sixth

decennial census. From 1840 to 1920, an agricultural census was taken as a part of each decennial census. Since 1920,

a separate national agricultural census has been taken every five years.

The 2007 census is the 6th census of agriculture of the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands. The first

agriculture census was taken in 1970 in conjunction with the decennial census, a practice that continued in 1980 and 1990.

The 1997 Census was the first agriculture census taken in the CNMI that was not done as part of the population census,

and the 2007 Agriculture Census in the CNMI continues the program on the same five-year cycle used for the main U.S.

agriculture census.

CENSUS USES

The census of agriculture is the leading source of statistics about CNMI’s agricultural production and the only source of

consistent, comparable data at the island level. Census statistics are used to measure agricultural production and to

identify trends in an ever changing agricultural sector. Many local programs use census data as a benchmark for

designing and evaluating surveys. Private industry uses census statistics to provide a more effective production and

distribution system for the agricultural community. One of the most important uses of the census data is to justify claims of

farmers who may suffer damages and losses due to natural disasters, such as typhoons.

AUTHORITY AND AREA COVERED

The census of agriculture is required by law under the “Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,” Public Law 105-113 (Title 7,

United States Code, Section 2204g). The law directs the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct a census of agriculture in

1998 and in every fifth year thereafter, covering the prior year. The census of agriculture includes each State, Puerto Rico,

Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.

The census data for CNMI were collected in accordance with a Memorandum of Agreement approved by the

Administrator of NASS and by the Department of Commerce of the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.

FARM DEFINITION

The statistics collected in the census relate to places with agricultural operations qualifying as farms according to the

census definition. In CNMI, this included all places from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and

sold, or normally would have been sold, during the 2007 calendar year. The farm definition is the same as that used in for

the 2002 Census of Agriculture, and is the same definition as used for the rest of the U.S..

COMPARABILITY OF DATA

In general, data from the 2007 Census are comparable with those of the 2002 census. All dollar values presented in

this report are in current dollars, i.e., 2007 data are in 2007 dollars and 2002 data in 2002 dollars. The dollar values have

not been adjusted for changes in price levels between census years.

INTRODUCTION VI 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

TABULAR PRESENTATION Tables 1 through 12 show detailed area data accompanied by historic data from the previous census. Tables 13

through 27 show selected data items presented by municipalities. Tables 28 through 31 provide 2007 area data cross-

tabulated by tenure of operator, age of operator, size of farm, and value of agricultural products sold.

SPECIAL TABULATIONS

Custom-designed tabulations can be developed to individual user specifications on a programming cost reimbursable

basis. Inquiries about special tabulations should be directed to Data Lab Administrator, Marketing and Information

Services Office, National Agricultural Statistics Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1400 Independence Ave., S.W .,

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE APPENDIX A A-1

APPENDIX A. General Explanation

DATA COLLECTION

Method of Enumeration

The CNMI agriculture census enumeration was based on a list of farm operators compiled by the Northern Mariana

Islands’ Department of Commerce. The core of this list was a compilation of all persons having a business licence to sellagricultural products. In addition, the local department of agriculture provided a list of known farmers. The statistics inthis report were collected by personal enumeration from farm operators during January of 2008.

Each enumerator was an employee of the Department of Commerce and had responsibility for specified names on thelist. The enumerators contacted all persons on their list and completed a census report form for all farm operations. If aperson on the list was not operating a farm, the enumerator recorded whether the land had been sold or rented tosomeone else and was still being used for agriculture. If so, the enumerator got the name of that person and followed upto ensure that he or she was included in the census.

Training Program

The project manager, crew leaders, and enumerators employed for the census in CNMI received special training inaccordance with instructions prepared by NASS. The training included practice in interviewing and filling out the reportform and a detailed discussion of the enumerator's instructions.

Report Form

Prior to each agriculture census, the content of all census report forms is reviewed to eliminate inquiries no longerneeded, to identify new items necessary to meet user needs, and to better describe the agricultural situation in the Islands. Data requests are solicited from farm organizations, land-grant colleges and universities, State and Federal agencies, localdepartments of agriculture, agribusinesses, and other users. Each user is asked to identify and justify its specific dataneeds.

The report form for the 2007 Census of Agriculture for CNMI was prepared by NASS, in cooperation with theDepartment of Commerce of CNMI. Based on comments from the Department of Commerce of CNMI (which coordinatedreview of the report form by data users in the CNMI), some minor changes were made to the wording on the report form. These changes were made to make the questions clearer to the respondents and do not affect the data collected.

DATA PROCESSING

The processing of the 2007 Census of Agriculture for CNMI was done by the CNMI Department of Commerce. Eachreport form was reviewed and coded prior to data keying. Reports for individuals or establishments not meeting thecensus farm definition were excluded. The remaining report forms were examined for accuracy, consistency, andcompleteness. Reporting errors in computations, units of measures, data inconsistencies, and misplaced entries werecorrected. Missing information that could not be obtained from the operator was derived using reported data for similartype and size farms in nearby areas.

After all the report forms had been reviewed and coded, the data were keyed and subjected to a thorough computeredit. The edit performed comprehensive checks for consistency and reasonableness, corrected erroneous or inconsistentdata, supplied missing data based on similar farms, and assigned farm classification codes necessary for tabulating thedata. All substantial changes to the data generated by the computer edits were reviewed and verified by analysts. Inconsistencies were reviewed, corrected, and keyed to a correction file. The corrected data were then tabulated by thecomputer and reviewed by analysts.

Prior to publication, tabulated totals were reviewed by analysts in Saipan, with assistance from NASS personnel, toidentify inconsistencies and potential coverage problems. Comparisons were made with previous census data, as well asother available data.

APPENDIX A A-2 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATION

The following definitions and explanations relate to items that are in the tables. For an exact wording of the questionsand instructions on the report form, see the report form in appendix B.

Crops. The report form contained individual inquiries for crops commonly grown and space to write in those lessfrequently produced. The information requested included acres of crops harvested and pounds harvested for sale in 2007.

Root crops. The land area from which individual root crops were harvested for sale was obtained in acres and tenths ofacres. W hen two or more crops were harvested from the same land, the area was to be reported for each separate crop orplanting. Total quantities of each crop harvested for sale were also reported.

Vegetables or melons. Land area for individual crops, and the quantity harvested for sale for each crop, were collected.

Fruits, nuts, or nursery crops. The total number of acres planted in bearing and nonbearing fruit and nut trees wascollected. For individual fruit or nut crops, data for the number of bearing and nonbearing trees, and the quantity harvestedfor sale, were reported. For nursery crops, the land area harvested, both square feet under cover and acres in the open,were collected, along with the value of sales.

Equipment. The following types of equipment on the place at time of enumeration, regardless of ownership, werereported if they were operable:

Automobiles. Includes all vehicles used primarily as passenger cars.

Motortrucks. Includes pickup trucks and truck- trailer combinations.

Tractors. Includes all wheel and tracklaying (crawler) tractors and garden tractors.

Tillers of all kinds. Includes all mechanical tillers.

Expenses. The 2007 report form contained questions on seven types of farm expenses incurred between January 1 andDecember 31, 2007, whether made by the farm operator, his/her landlord, or both. A farm operator who rented part ofhis/her land to others reported only the expenses on the land he/she operated.

Machine hire and customwork. Expenses for machine hire and customwork relate to tractor hire, plowing, and spraying. Any amount spent for the labor involved is considered to be part of the expense. The costs of hauling, trucking, orexchange work without pay are omitted.

Wages and salaries paid to employees or hired farm workers. Expenses for hired farm labor include total cash paymentsmade to family members and others for farm labor. Payments to persons supplied by a contractor or a cooperativeorganization and paid directly by them or by the person in charge are also included.

Feed purchased for livestock, poultry, and fish. Expenses for feed for livestock, poultry, and fish include total cashpayments made for pasture used, salt concentrates, mineral supplements, grain, hay, mill feeds, and any other itemspurchased for feeding livestock, poultry, and fish on the place. Expenses made for the grinding and mixing of feed and theestimated cost of items furnished to the operator by a landlord or others are also included. Payments made by a tenant toa landlord for feed grown on the tenant's farm are excluded.

Purchases of fertilizers and manure. These expenses include the total amount spent for manure and commercial fertilizersof all kinds for use on the farm.

Purchases of insecticides, fungicides, and herbicides. This category relates to total cash expenses for all chemicals,sprays, dusts, etc., used to control weeds, pests, insects, or disease on crops.

Purchases of livestock, poultry, and fish. This category includes all cash expenses for livestock, poultry, and fishpurchased for the place. The cost of livestock and poultry bought and resold within 30 days is not included.

Seed cost. These expenses include all seed purchased for planting, as well as seedlings.


Farm operator. The term "operator" designates a person who operates a farm, either by doing the work himself/herself orby directly supervising the work. The operator may be the owner, a member of the owner's household, a hired manager,or a tenant, renter, or sharecropper. If the operator rents land to others or has land worked on shares by others, he/she isconsidered the operator only if the land is retained for his/her own operation. In the case of partnership, only one partneris counted as an operator. By definition, the number of operators is the same as the number of farms.

Farms or operators reporting. Figures for "farms reporting" or "operators reporting" represent the number of farms oroperators reporting the specified item. The difference between the total number of farms and the number of farmsreporting a particular item represents the number of farms not having that item.

Farms by age of operator. Enumerators entered the operator's age, as of his/her last birthday, on the report form. Thecomputer edit classified the operator's age into one of the following age groups:

Under 35 years 35 to 44 years 45 to 54 years 55 to 64 years 65 years and over

Farms by size. Farms were classified by size on the basis of the total land area established in each farm. According tothe census definition, a farm is essentially an operating unit, not an ownership tract. All land operated or managed by oneperson or partnership represents one farm. In the case of tenants, the land assigned to each tenant is considered aseparate farm, even though the landlord may consider the entire landholding to be one unit rather than several separateunits. The farm sizes listed in the tables are ranges that include the lower boundary listed, up to, but not including, theupper boundary. Thus, farms listed in the size range of 4 to 8 acres have at least 4 acres, but less than 8 acres in thefarm.

Farms by tenure of operator. In the 2007 census, farms were classified by tenure of operator on the basis of datareported for land owned, rented from others, worked on shares for others, and managed for others. The sameclassification has been used since 1970. During the processing operations, each report form was coded to indicatewhether the operator was a full owner, part owner, or tenant.

Full owners. Operate only land they own

Part owners. Operate land they own and also land they rent from others

Tenants. Rent from others or work the land they operate on shares for others

Farms by value of agricultural products sold. The farms were classified on the basis of the total value of agriculturalproducts sold. The total was obtained by adding the reported values of all products sold from the farm. The value oflivestock, milk, poultry and eggs, fish, vegetables, fruits and nuts, all field crops, ornamental plants, and all other crops wasobtained from the operator at the time of enumeration. The computer edit classified the value of agricultural products soldinto one of the following categories:

Less than $1,200 $2,500 to $4,999 $7,500 to $9,999 $1,200 to $2,499 $5,000 to $7,499 $10,000 or more

Land in farms. The land in farms was determined from the answers to questions 1 through 4 in section 1 of the reportform (see appendix B). The amounts of land reported as owned and reported as rented from others were added together,and the amount of land reported as rented to others was subtracted from that sum. The result represents "land in farms."

Land owned. This category includes all land that the operator or his/her spouse held under title, purchase contract,homestead law, or as heir or trustee of an undivided estate at the time of enumeration.

Land rented from others. This category includes land the operator rented or leased from others, worked on shares forothers, or occupied rent free.

Land rented to others. This includes all land that the operator rented to others and all land assigned to others on sharesor rent free. For the most part, land rented to others represents agricultural land, but it also includes land rented forresidential or other purposes. The tenant is considered to be the operator of land leased, rented, or worked on shares,even though his/her landlord may supervise the operations. The landlord is considered to be the operator of only thatportion of the land not assigned to tenants.

APPENDIX A A-4 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE

Land use. Land in farms at the time of enumeration is categorized according to the way it was used during the censusyear. The land is counted only once, even though it may have had more than one use during the year.

Total cropland. This category includes cultivated cropland, cropland used for pasture or grazing, cropland used for covercrops, cropland where all crops failed, and cropland at rest.

Cropland harvested. This category refers to all land from which any crop was harvested. It also includes land in fieldcrops that were grazed when mature or almost mature and land in nonbearing fruit or nut trees and plants. Land fromwhich two or more crops were harvested and which was also used for other purposes, either before or after the crops wereharvested, was to be reported as cropland harvested without regard to the other uses.

Other cropland. This category includes all cropland on the place that was used for pasture and cropland on the place thatwas not used for crops or pasture. It includes land on which there was total crop failure due to hurricane, flood, drought,insects, fire, or other causes; cropland lying idle; and cropland planted with soil improvement grasses or other cover cropsplanted for improvement. It does not include land so hilly, rocky, or wet that the cost of improving it for cultivation would bemore than the operator could pay. Nor does it include land in roads, streams, or swamps.

Pasture or grazing land. This category refers to all land used for pasture or grazing, except cropland. It includes allwoodland where livestock pastured or grazed. It does not include cropland, even though cattle or other livestock may havebeen grazed on it.

Woodland. This category includes all land that is covered in woods or forests. It does not include woodland pasture.

Other land. This category includes land in house and other building lots, lanes, roads, ditches, ponds and wasteland. Itincludes all land in the farm operation not classified as cropland, pastureland, or woodland.

Livestock and poultry. Inventory data for livestock and poultry relate to the number on hand at the time of enumeration. All livestock and poultry were to be enumerated on the place where they were at the time of enumeration regardless ofwho owned them. Livestock on unfenced land were to be reported as being on the place identified as the headquarters ofthe person who had control over them. Sales data for livestock are for the calendar year 2007.

Operator characteristics. Data were obtained to classify the operators according to the following five characteristics:

Age of operator. Operators were classified by age into six groups. The average age was obtained by dividing the sum ofthe ages of all operators reporting by the number reporting.

Main occupation. If the operator devoted 50 percent or more of his/her work time to agricultural activities, his/her mainoccupation was considered to be agriculture, otherwise his/her occupation was considered to be nonagricultural.

Residence of operator. Operators were classified by residence according to whether or not they lived on the farmsoperated. W here all the land was rented from others or worked on shares for others, the dwelling was considered to be onthe farm operated provided the dwelling he/she occupied was included in the rental agreement. In such cases, thedwelling was not necessarily on the land being operated. Similarly, an operator who did not live on the land beingcultivated or grazed, but who had some agricultural operations (other than a home garden) at his/her dwelling, wasconsidered to be living on the farm.

Work off farm. The extent to which operators rely on nonfarm sources for part of their income is indicated by the number ofdays worked off the farm during the year. W ork off the farm was defined to include work on someone else's farm for payas well as all types of nonfarm jobs, businesses, and professions whether the work was done on the farm premises orelsewhere.

Years on present farm. Operators were classified by years on present farm into four groups. These data were based onthe question asking the year the operator began operation of the present farm or any part of it.

Race or national origin of operator. Respondents were asked to choose between Chamorro, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese,W hite, or Other to describe their race or national origin.

Citizenship of operator. Operators were classified as one of four choices: U.S. citizen born in the CNMI, U.S. citizen bornin other state or territory, naturalized U.S. citizen, or not a U.S. citizen.


Value of products sold. Data for value of products sold were obtained for each group of crops or main type of livestocksold from the farm in 2007. Data were obtained for sales of field and forage crops, vegetables, fruits and nuts, nurserycrops, poultry and poultry products, cattle and calves, hogs and pigs, fish and other aquaculture products, and otherlivestock and livestock products. Value of sales was also collected for chicken eggs and milk.

RELIABILITY OF DATA

All data compiled in this report originated from a complete enumeration of a list of all farm operators and, therefore, arenot subject to sampling variability. However, the data are subject to nonsampling errors. Nonsampling errors can beattributed to many sources: inability to identify all cases in the actual universe; inability or unwillingness on the part ofrespondents to provide correct information; definition and classification difficulties; differences in the interpretation ofquestions; errors in recording or coding the data obtained; and other errors of collection, response, coverage, andestimation for missing or misreported data.

The accuracy of these tabulated data is determined by the joint effects of the various nonsampling errors. No directmeasures of these effects have been obtained; however, precautionary steps were taken in all phases of data collection,processing, and tabulation of the data in an effort to minimize the effects of nonsampling errors.
