Agricultural Prices ISSN: 1937-4216 Released March 30,, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Special Note Annual March Survey prices paid data will no longer be published in the April Agricultural Prices Report. See http://www.nass.usda.gov/surveys/guide_to_nass_surveys/prices/updateapr.pdf for details. Historic Prices Received and Paid Index tables will only be published in January. The current and revised indexes will continue to be posted to Quick Stats each month. Farm Prices Received Index Up 3 Points The Prices Received Index (Agricultural Production), at 100, based on 2011=100, increased 3 points (3.1 percent) from January. At 85, the Crop Production Index is up 2 points (2.4 percent). At 115, the Livestock Production Index decreased 5 points (4.2 percent). Producers received higher prices for eggs, tomatoes, oranges, and hay but lower prices for broilers, cattle, hogs, and lettuce. In addition to prices, the indexes are impacted by the five-year average monthly mix of commodities producers market. Increased monthly movement of cattle, milk, broilers, and hogs offset the decreased marketing of soybeans, corn, and wheat. The Prices Received Index is down 7 points (6.5 percent) from 2014. The Food Commodities Index, at, decreased 1 point (0.9 percent) from the previous month and 9 points (7.7 percent) from 2014. Prices Paid Index Unchanged The Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 109 (2011=100), is unchanged from January and 2014. Higher prices in for herbicides, LP gas, Insecticides, and potash & phosphates offset lower prices for feeder cattle, complete feeds, feeder pigs, and diesel.
