Survey Procedures: Data for mink production are collected from
all known producers. State Statistical Offices use known sources of
producers to update their lists. All known mink producers are mailed a
questionnaire and given adequate time to respond by mail. Those that do not
respond by mail are telephoned or possibly enumerated in person. Care is
exercised to ensure that all operations are accounted for. Major auction houses
which handle virtually all producer sales provide mink pelt price data in July.
Prices are collected at the point of first sale by producers, before marketing
costs are deducted.
Reliability: Sound statistical methodology is employed to derive
the estimates from reported data. All data are analyzed for unusual values.
Data from each operation are compared to their own past operating profile and
to trends from similar operations. Data for inaccessible operations are
accounted for through the expansion of the reported data or by imputation based
on individual historical data. Survey data are subject to non-sampling errors
such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in processing the data. While
these errors cannot be measured directly, they are minimized by carefully
reviewing all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
Revision policy: This publication contains revised estimates for the 1993-1998
period, to reflect additional information, including the Census of Agriculture.
The next “Mink” report will be released in July 2000.
