     Reliability of June 1, 2004 Grain Stocks Estimates
                              
Survey Procedures:  The grain stocks estimates in this report are based
on surveys conducted during the first 2 weeks of June.  Separate surveys
are conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm estimates.  The on-farm
stocks survey is a probability survey that includes nearly
90,000 operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all
operations in the U.S. have a chance to be selected.  These producers are
asked to provide the total quantities of grain stored on their operations
as of June 1, 2004.  This includes all whole grains and oilseeds stored
whether for feed, seed, or sale as well as any stored under a Government
program.

The off-farm stocks survey is an enumeration of all known commercial
grain storage facilities.  This includes approximately 9,800 facilities
with about 8.50 billion bushels of storage capacity.  An effort is made
to obtain a report from all facilities.  Reports of stock holdings are
normally received from operations covering about 90 percent of the
capacity.  Estimates are made for missing facilities to make the survey
complete.

Estimation Procedures:  On-farm and off-farm survey data are reviewed at
the State and national levels for reasonableness, consistency with
historical estimates, and current crop size.  After estimates are made
for on-farm and off-farm stocks, the totals of these two are combined and
evaluated using the balance sheet approach.  This method utilizes other
sources of data to check the reasonableness of the stocks estimates. 
Estimates of production, imports, exports, crushings, milling, and all
other recorded uses of grain and oilseeds are reviewed to make sure
beginning stocks, production, utilization, and ending stocks are within
reasonable balance and present the best possible estimate of stocks.

Revision Policy:  On-farm and off-farm stocks are subject to revision the
quarter following initial publication and again in the following
December 1 "Grain Stocks" report published in January each year. 
Revisions can be made when late reports are received, errors are detected
in reporting
