Abstract:
|
In years ending in 2 and 7, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducts the Census of Agriculture. In addition, NASS conducts an annual area-frame-based survey called the June Area Survey (JAS). Both the Census of Agriculture and the JAS provide an estimate of the number of farms in the United States. In 2007, the difference between the two estimates could not be attributed to the error associated with the respective estimates. In this paper, non-response and misclassification in the JAS are considered as possible factors leading to the discrepancy. How to account for misclassification and non-response in the JAS-based estimate is discussed.
