<br />Table A-3. Labor and Proprie-
<br />tor Income by Sector, Colorado,
<br />1974-87
<br />Table uses same methodology
<br />and SIC codes and is from same
<br />sources ill - Annual issues; and W
<br />as Table 2,
<br />
<br />Table A-4. Employment in the
<br />Farm and Food Sector, Colorado,
<br />1973-87
<br />Basic sources for sector employ-
<br />ment data is the U,S, Department of
<br />Commerce County Business Patterns,
<br />Annual Issues, Colorado C11), Sectors
<br />were defined by the same SIC codes
<br />used in Table 2,
<br />For 1973-1985, farm employment
<br />equals hired farm workers in Census
<br />years from ClQ), interpolated as
<br />necessary. As discussed in the 1979
<br />Census of Agriculture, the data
<br />contains a significant double counting
<br />of part-time workers who have more
<br />than one job during the year. For
<br />1986 and 1987, total farm employment
<br />is estimated from Colorado Depart-
<br />ment of Labor and Employment data
<br />(2),
<br />
<br />Table A-5. Population and Per
<br />Capita Income of Colorado Coun-
<br />ties, 1987.
<br />Population data is from the
<br />Colorado Division of Local Govern-
<br />ment CfJ Per capita income data is
<br />from the U,S, Department of Com-
<br />merce C11). Average per capita
<br />income estimates for groups of
<br />counties are weighted by population,

<br />Table 4. Summary of Farm and
<br />Food Sector Contributions to the
<br />Colorado Economy, 1987.
<br />The first two columns of this table
<br />summarize the income and employ-
<br />ment data from the appendix tables of
<br />this report as described above, The
<br />third column presents gross sales
<br />estimates for the Farm and Food
<br />Sector, as follows:
<br />Agricultural Input Sector. The
<br />total of SIC 07-08-09 earnings in 1987
<br />from C11); SIC 287 and SIC 352 sales
<br />in 1982 from (ill; SIC 5083 sales and
<br />SIC 5191 sales from (j]); SIC 497, SIC
<br />613, and SIC 622 sales are from the
<br />Colorado Department of Revenue @'
<br />Production Sector. State total
<br />cash receipts from crop and livestock
<br />marketing in 1987 are from the U,S,
<br />Department of Agriculture (2), Sales
<br />of intermediate crop and livestock
<br />products to other farmers are included
<br />here rather than in farm input sector
<br />sales,
<br />Processing and Marketing
<br />Sector. The basic Colorado total of
<br />sales for SIC 20 (Manufacturing of
<br />food and kindred products) and SIC
<br />3551 (Manufacturing food products
<br />machinery) is a from the DOC 1982
<br />
<br />23
<br />
<br />Census of Manufacturing (ill, Com-
<br />parable 1987 data at the state level is
<br />not yet available, The sector also
<br />includes SIC 515 (Wholesale raw farm
<br />products) from (j]),
<br />Food Wholesaling and Retail-
<br />ing Sectors. Wholesale food sales
<br />data for SIC 514 (Wholesale groceries
<br />and related products) from (j]), Retail
<br />sales include Food Stores and Eating
<br />& Drinking categories from @,
<br />The only conceptually clear,
<br />comparable, and additive sales data
<br />available for different sectors are
<br />retail sales estimates from the Univer-
<br />sity of Colorado (lD and the Colorado
<br />Department of Revenue (Q), Retail
<br />sales data is not emphasized here
<br />because the Agribusiness sectors
<br />generate relatively few retail sales,
<br />Instead Gross sales estimates are
<br />shown in Table 4, These data come
<br />from several sources, and the data for
<br />the different sectors are not all
<br />conceptually similar. For example,
<br />earnings data have been used for SIC
<br />codes 07-08-09 and 1982 value of
<br />shipments data have been used for
<br />SIC 20, SIC 287, SIC 352, and SIC 3551
<br />industries.
<br />Also note that the estimates are
<br />for gross sales, and not value added,
<br />Sales of a given product are often
<br />counted at numerous points in the
<br />Farm and Food Sector - as a result the
<br />estimates of gross sales contain a
<br />considerable amount of double
<br />counting,
<br />Finally, Table 4 does not show
<br />state total estimate of gross sales,
<br />Important industry sectors of the
<br />Colorado economy (for example
<br />Construction; Finance, Insurance, and
<br />Real estate; and Government,) simply
<br />do not generate comparable gross
<br />sales; thus no data is available for
<br />these sectors, This fact makes it
<br />impossible to characterize Agribusi- ness Sector or the Total Farm and
<br />Food System gross sales as a percent
<br />of total Colorado economic activity.
