WHY DO FARMS, INVENTORY AND SALES NUMBERS FOR HOGS AND PIGS BY TYPE OF PRODUCER AND TYPE OF OPERATION NOT ADD TO THE TOTAL NUMBER OF HOG AND PIG FARMS, INVENTORY AND SALES?
Data for hog inventory and sales by type of producer and type of operation are new in the 2002 census. Operators were allowed to select one or more type of operator (independent grower, contractor or integrator, or contract grower (contractee)) and one or more type of operation (farrow to wean, farrow to finish, finish only, farrow to feeder, nursery, or other). For both inventory and number sold, the operation’s data were included in each category for which they were categorized. Therefore, inventory and sales data added across categories will not match inventory and sales data in other Hog and Pig tables. Operators who selected “Other” as operation type in Tables 25 and 26, were not published.
