Notes: Food sales exclude alcoholic beverages as well as home production, donations, and supplied and donated foods.

Annual food sales data in table 36 are from table 1; monthly food sales in table 36 may not add to the annual food sales in table 1 due to differences in Census sampling.

As of January 2011, table 36 uses revised 2007 Census data.

Source: Based on food sales from monthly and annual data in Census Retail Trade, available at: http://www.census.gov/retail/

Historical data are available to 2003 in archived agricultural outlook files at: http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/agoutlook/aotables/
