1982 COMMODITY OUTPUT BY STATE AND INPUT-OUTPUT SECTOR.  JULY 1992

Consistent with the United Nations Systems of National Accounts
proposals, the United States Input-Output (I/O) accounts are constructed
using two output measures - commodity output - total economywide
production of a particular commodity and industry accounts - total
production - primary and secondary of a particular industry. This data
file presents estimates of agricultural commodity output in 1982. 

Most of the data supplied to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA),
Department of Commerce for the publication, "The 1982 Benchmark
Input-Output accounts of the United States," December 1991, for the
seventeen agricultural sectors of the base year 1982 I/O tables
originated from various Department of Agriculture state income and
expense surveys and other sources.  Some of the data used is
unpublished in any other form. Provided here are a completely
additive (to published national tables) set of agricultural control
totals for the fifty states and seventeen agricultural sectors.

The output associated with the seventeen agricultural sectors are
presented on nine tables on one disk.  These are: 1) total output, 2)
cash receipts, 3) additional output, 4) inventory change, 5) home
consumption, 6) non-purchased imputations, 7) additional industry
receipts, 8) BEA redefinitions out, and 9) adjusted total output. 

The data on the disk is contained in both Lotus [Release 2. ](.WK1) and
[release 3.0] (.WK3) files.  The files are named Table*.WK1 or .WK3 where 
* = the table number shown below: 

FILE    TABLE  
NAME    NUMBER   DESCRIPTION
------  ------   -------------------------------------------------------
TABLE1    1.     TOTAL OUTPUT: The sum of cash receipts (Table2) and
                 additional output (Table3) on this disk, by State (51
                 columns, 50 states in alphabetical order and the U.S.
                 total)and input-output sector (18 rows, 17 agricultural
                 sectors plus the state or U.S. total).  There are labels
                 and some blank rows and columns.  Each subsequent table
                 is exactly the same format.

TABLE2    2.     CASH RECEIPTS: Published annually by states in the ERS
                 publication "Economic Indicators of the Farm Sector",
                 series, the 'State Financial  Summary', annual. The
                 commodity detail is aggregated into input-output sectors.
                 Some state cash receipt totals may not match because of a
                 redistribution of the difference between national input-
                 output and revised state cash receipts for 1982.

TABLE3    3.     ADDITIONAL OUTPUT: All commodity output in addition to
                 cash receipts. The summation of Tables 4 through 7 on 
                 this disk.

TABLE4    4.     INVENTORY CHANGE: Inventory change is taken from an
                 unpublished compilation of subsector commodity groups
                 which is then aggregated to input-output sectors.  The
                 state sector sums are additive to published national
                 input-output totals and state inventory change data in
                 ERS publications.

TABLE5    5.     HOME CONSUMPTION: These estimates are also the estimates
                 of Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE),  Table B. I/O
                 category 6., Food Produced and Consumed on Farms,
                 published by BEA in the National Income and Product
                 Accounts (NIPA), January 1992, Survey of Current Business.
                 From unpublished data there are national values of home
                 consumption for seven input-output sectors in 1982: 010100
                 (dairy), 010200 (poultry), 010301 (meat animals), 020401
                 (fruits), 020402 (nuts), 020501 (vegetables) and 020502       
                 (sugar crops). The most recent revised data at the state      
                 level is only detailed to the crop-livestock categories and   
                 is not additive to the sum of the seven national control      
                 totals given earlier to BEA. The national sector home         
                 consumption values and state crop and livestock values, and   
                 the residual has been adjusted to reflect state production    
                 data and redistributed to the states equitably.

TABLE6    6.     NON-PURCHASED IMPUTATIONS: The non-purchased imputations
                 table consists of non-purchased feed and seed, non-
                 purchased milk (fed to calves), non-purchased manure, and
                 an imputation for the value of animal work power used on
                 farms. This data is not published elsewhere by ERS. The
                 values are estimated by Input-Output analysts. 

TABLE7    7.     ADDITIONAL INDUSTRY RECEIPTS: The additional industry
                 receipts table is comprised of five sub-units: inter-farm
                 intra-state livestock shipments; dog sales; bull, horse
                 and other animal semen; tobacco seeds and plants and
                 custom feeding fees.  The three sectors which contain
                 output generated by these activities are 010301 (meat
                 animals), 010302  (miscellaneous livestock) and 020300
                 (tobacco).  These values are not published by state by
                 ERS. Most are estimated by the Input-Output analysts.

TABLE8    8.     BEA REDEFINITIONS OUT: Some commodity output of the
                 agricultural sector is redefined by the Department of
                 Commerce. This occurred in five Input-Output sectors:
                 010101 (dairy), 010200 (poultry), 010301 (meat animals),
                 010302 (miscellaneous livestock), and 020401 (fruits).
                 These national total redefinitions are not published but
                 are reflected in the difference between the BEA 1982 base
                 table commodity output totals and those in Table1 on this
                 disk.  The values are entered as negatives in this
                 spreadsheet (Table8).

Table9    9.     ADJUSTED TOTAL OUTPUT: The sum of Table8 plus Table1 on
                 this disk. The U.S. total in Table9 equals that total
                 output published by BEA in "The 1982 Benchmark Input-Output
                 Accounts of the United States," December 1991, Table 3.
