1/ Final sector output is the gross value of the commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector's contribution
to the National economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production. Net farm income is the farm
operators' share of income from the sector's production activities. The concept presented is consistent with that employed by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
2/ A positive value of inventory change represents current-year production not
sold by December 1. A negative value is an offset to production from prior years included in current-year sales.
