West KY, Miss River County | Boss this is a good question. Most assume the official amount is skewed. In short years expect them to claim more, in order to depress prices. In plenty expect them to claim less, to give price support for any sales. As a matter of fact this is practiced down to the local province. Higher ups don't call out locals as it also supports the 'good of the country'. That said, we have to start somewhere. Remember, what they say will probably not agree with what they do. Actions speak louder than words.
