Released February 29, 2024, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
January Prices Received Index Down 1.4 Percent
The January Prices Received Index 2011 Base (Agricultural Production), at
111.7, decreased 1.4 percent from December and 10 percent from January 2023.
At 98.2, the Crop Production Index was down 3.4 percent from last month and
17 percent from the previous year. The Livestock Production Index, at 135.4,
increased 4.6 percent from December, but decreased 0.7 percent from January
last year. Producers received lower prices during January for soybeans, milk,
corn, and lemons but higher prices for broilers, market eggs, lettuce, and
calves. In addition to prices, the volume change of commodities marketed also
influences the indexes. In January, there was decreased monthly movement for
cattle, milk, grapes, and broilers and increased marketing of soybeans, corn,
market eggs, and onions.
January Prices Paid Index Down 0.1 Percent
The January Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes,
and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 138.4, is down 0.1 percent from December 2023
and 1.8 percent from January 2023. Lower prices in January for concentrates,
nitrogen, diesel, and interest more than offset higher prices for feeder
cattle, taxes, other services, and share rent.

Parity Price Overview
Parity prices, based on data from January 2024, and adjusted base price data
from which parity prices are computed are presented in the tables on the
following pages. Parity prices are computed under the provisions of Title
III. Subtitle A, Section 301(a) of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938 as
amended by the Agricultural Acts of 1948, 1949, 1954, and 1956.
The parity prices shown in this report are based on the provisions of the
amended Act. Briefly, the actual method of computation is as follows:
a. The average of prices received by farmers for individual commodities for
the 10 preceding years is calculated (for 2024, the 10-average includes the
years 2014-2023). An allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental
payments resulting from price support programs, such as the deficiency
payments for grains and cotton, is included for those commodities for which
applicable.
b. This 10-year average is divided by the average of the Index of Prices
Received by Farmers for the same 10 preceding calendar years, adjusted to
include an allowance for unredeemed loans and other supplemental price
support operations, to give an "adjusted base price".
c. Parity prices are computed by multiplying the "adjusted base prices" by
the current Parity Index (the Index of Prices Paid by Farmers, including
Interest, Taxes, and Wage Rates, 1910-1914=100).
Parity prices are calculated in terms of prices received by farmers in the
local markets in which they ordinarily sell. This means that the parity
prices apply to the average of all classes and grades of the commodity as
sold by all farmers in the United States, except as otherwise specified.
Fruits and vegetables for fresh use and for processing are usually considered
separate commodities and separate parity prices are calculated. The
Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 provided for parity prices for
certain commodities covered by a marketing agreement or order program. Under
present legislation, United States parity prices, with appropriate
adjustments where needed, may be used for the purpose of this Act.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates
Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers.
They include all grades and qualities. The average commodity price from the
survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give
the total cash receipts for the commodity.
Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were
obtained from probability samples of about 1,900 mills and elevators. These
procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels
has a chance of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed
account for 90 percent or more of total United States production. Livestock
prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market
check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state
commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and livestock are
not included since they represent very small percentages of the total sales.
Grain marketed for seed is also excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are
obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private
marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities.
Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by
strata to state levels and used to weight average strata prices to a state
average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on
expanded sales. Recommendations are prepared by the Regional Field Offices
and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. State
recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other
States, and recent historic estimates.
Revisions: In general, revisions are made during annual commodity market year
estimation time, following five-year Census revisions, or when later
information is received. Revisions are published in monthly issues of
Agricultural Prices.
Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys
generally have a sampling error of less than one percent for the major
commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods
of summarization for non-probability commodities are not designed directly to
calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the
United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non-
sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain
correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions,
mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step
in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors.
Program Changes: See Price Program Links at the end of this report for details
on program changes to the Prices Program methodology.
January Prices Paid by Farmers
The January Prices Paid Index for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes,
and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 138.4, is down 0.1 percent from December 2023
and 1.8 percent from January 2023.
Production: The January index, at 134.7, is down 0.1 percent from December
and 3.2 percent from last year. Lower prices for concentrates, nitrogen,
diesel, and complete feeds more than offset higher prices for feeder cattle,
other services, share rent, and LP gas.
Feed: At 121.6, the January index decreased 1.1 percent from December
and 13 percent from last January. Since December, prices are lower for
concentrates, complete feeds, supplements, hay & forages, and feed grains.
Livestock and poultry: The January index, at 164.6, increased
5.4 percent from December and 23 percent from last year. Since December,
prices are higher for feeder cattle and feeder pigs. The January feeder
cattle price, at $246.00 per cwt, is up $14.00 per cwt from the December
price. The January feeder pigs price, at
$116.00 per cwt, is up $3.00 per cwt from December.
Fertilizer: The index for January, at 113.3, is down 0.1 percent from
December and 20 percent from January a year ago. Since December, higher
prices for potash & phosphate and mixed fertilizer more than offset lower
prices for nitrogen.
Chemicals: The January index, at 125.3, is down 0.6 percent from
December and 16 percent from last January.
Fuels: At 86.5, the January index is up 0.6 percent from December but
down 12 percent from January 2023. Compared with December, prices are higher
for LP gas but lower for diesel and gasoline.
Machinery: The index for January, at 160.0, increased 0.1 percent from
December and 0.9 percent from last January. Compared with last month, prices
are higher for other machinery and tractors but unchanged for
self-propelled machinery.
Consumer Price Index: The January 2024 Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U), as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, increased
3.1 percent over the last 12 months to an index level of 308.417 (1982-
1984=100). For the month, the index increased 0.5 percent prior to seasonal
adjustment.

Reliability of Prices Paid Estimates
Definition: Prices paid by farmers represent the average costs of inputs
purchased by farmers and ranchers to produce agricultural commodities.
Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should
equal total producer expenditures for the item.
Survey procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that
sell goods and services to farmers and ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms
are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average
response rate in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the
price for the specified item "most commonly bought by farmers" or that was
the "volume seller". Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to
represent all production input items purchased. The survey reference period
for all items is the full preceding calendar year. Separate prices paid
surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer,
machinery, and seed.
Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is
summarized as a non-probability survey. Average prices reported are
aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from
expenditure data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are
prepared by the Regional Field Offices and Headquarters for review by the
Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price
level for individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and United
States levels, and are published as prices paid indexes referenced to a
specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building
materials, farm supplies, motor supplies, and marketing containers are
updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) indexes.
Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of
Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision must be supported by additional
data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are
likely for March when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of
BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change.
Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not
designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures
approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around
10 percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the
inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting
questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc.
Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-
sampling errors.
Program Changes: See Price Program Links at the end of this report for details
on program changes to the Prices Program methodology.
