1/ A positive value of inventory change represents current-year production not sold by December 31.  A negative value is an offset to production from prior years included in current-year sales.
2/ Value of agricultural sector production 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, regardless of ownership.  Net farm income is the farm operator’s 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.
