In the previous version, the adjustment for double counting in computing the total was based on a slightly older estimate of agricultural input research; the component data for private agricultural input research and private food research were correct and current (and are unchanged). The changes in the series Total private food and agricultural research for any given year range from -1.4 percent to 1.4 percent, with a mean change over the entire period (1970-2014) of 0.01 percent.

The largest changes are an increase in cover crop acreage for corn (2016) and cotton (2015) and an increase in conservation cropping for wheat (2017). Acreages for tillage types in Tables 1a and 1b are lower because observations with less than 4 years of crop and tillage data were inadvertently included (but have now been excluded). All changes are restricted to figures, tables, and text that rely on ARMS cropping and tillage history data.
235	10/12/2018	Commodity Costs and Returns	Data product	N/A	On October 2, 2018, incorrect milk cost and return data for the Southern Seaboard region were posted for 2017 in the ERS topic page Commodity Costs and Returns.

Including the potato production data increases U.S. potato and total cash receipts $60.3 million in 2015 and $152.9 million in 2016 and increases the value of the crop inventory adjustment $10.3 million in 2015. Other data or reports containing these variables are likewise revised. Overall, U.S. net farm income and net cash farm income were revised upward less than 0.3 percent in 2015 and 2016.

The other corrected variables are RELATION_R, MARITAL, SPOUSEHHMEM, AGE_R, EDUCCAT, YEARSRESIDENCE, INITINTRVMON, INITFINALDAYS, FAMMEMBER, ANYINCOMEIND, and EMPLOYMENT, affecting 34 to 150 records each. Preliminary analyses indicate that this would likely have a minimal effect on analyses from the original file. The corresponding codebook was not affected.
174	12/21/2016	Rural America at a Glance, 2016 Edition	Publication	EIB-162	On December 21, 2016, Rural America at a Glance, 2016 Edition was reposted to correct the classifications of some counties in the map.

171	9/26/2016	Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Access at the State and County Levels: Evidence From Texas SNAP Administrative Records and the American Community Survey	Publication	ERR-156	On September 26, 2016, ERS corrected the legend that describes the categories in figure 4, “SNAP access rates in Texas by Congressional district, 2008-09.” The map is unchanged but the ranges of each category have been corrected to show the right ranges of access rates.
170	9/22/2016	Rice Outlook: September 2016	Outlook	RCS-16I	On September 22, the September Rice Outlook report was reposted to correct the 2015/16 marketing-year average price for California rice reported in Table 5. The correct price estimate is $18.10/cwt, not $18.30 as originally reported.
169	9/20/2016	Vegetables and Pulses Outlook: October 2017	Outlook	VGS-357	On September 20, 2016, the Special article, "An Overview of Organic Vegetable Production in the United States" included in the Vegetables and Pulses Outlook report (VGS-357) was reposted to correct errors in Table 1.

Corrections were also made in the text to match the new data in Table 1.
168	9/13/2016		Publication	EIB-138	On September 13, 2016, ERS revised the categorization of households with members categorically eligible for WIC to exclude households where the only categorically eligible member was a child age 5. These children were incorrectly included previously; imputed income measures were also used as these measures became available since the report’s release; revised survey weights were also used to update all estimates in the report. Because of these changes, all of the estimates in the report have been revised. However, the results were not numerically or substantively different after these revisions were made, with one exception— the result that WIC participants were more likely to use supercenters as their primary store was no longer statistically significant. The text has been adjusted to reflect all of these changes. The results from EIB-138 were used in three ERS Charts of Note dated March 23, 2015; July 15, 2015; and August 11, 2015; and an Amber Waves feature article “Most U.S. Households Do Their Main Grocery Shopping at Supermarkets and Supercenters Regardless of Income,” dated August 3, 2015. For all but the August 11, 2015, Chart of Note, changes in estimates were not numerically or substantively different. In the August 11, 2015, Chart of Note, the difference between WIC participants’ and nonparticipants’ choice of supercenters as their primary stores was no longer statistically significant.

A New Approach to Farm Risk Management Analysis	Publication	ERR-212	On August 11, 2016, a correction was made to the first sentence of the second paragraph of page 1. The original report stated the Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act (FCIRA) was passed in 1995, when, in fact, the Act was passed in 1994. While the changes to farm insurance as a result of FCIRA took effect in 1995, FCIRA became law in 1994.
165	7/20/2016	State Fact Sheets	Data product	N/A	On July 20, 2016, ERS revised the 2012 value for the item "Cropland in pasture (percent)" in the "Farm Characteristics" section of the State Fact Sheets. The value for each State was revised; the value in the U.S. Summary table was correct.

157	5/6/2016	America's Diverse Family Farms: 2015 Edition	Publication	EIB-146	On May 6, 2016, ERS revised America’s Diverse Family Farms: 2015 Edition to reflect revisions to the data source underlying this report (see ARMS data Updates & Revisions History). The corrections to the underlying data resulted in minor differences between the previous and revised estimates, in most cases. The largest changes were an 8-percentage-point decline in the share of hay produced on small family farms (page 4) and an 8-percent increase in average income from farming earned by all U.S. family farm households (page 9).
156	5/2/2016	ARMS Farm Financial and Crop Production Practices	Data product	N/A	On May 2, 2016, the ARMS data tool was reposted to correct two programming errors.

Changing the broiler price changes the wholesale-to-retail price spread for the broiler composite to 120.0 cents per pound.
153	3/15/2016	Feed Grains Database and Feed Outlook: March 2016	Data product and publication	FDS-16C (publication)	On March 15, the Feed Grains Database was reposted due to an error in the marketing-year totals for food, seed, and industrial use in 2014/15 and 2015/16.
