reached 780,581, an increase of 1.9 % (or 14,571 inmates) since June 30, 2006 (figure 1). Between 2000 and 2007 the number of inmates confined in the nation's jails increased at an average annual rate of 3.3%. With the exception of 2005, the rate of growth in the jail inmate population has declined every year since 2002. Growth slowed from 2.5% in 2006 to 1.9 % in 2007. The rate of growth in the 12 months ending June 29, 2007 was the smallest annual growth rate in the jail population since 2001 and the second smallest since 1981. The midyear count of inmates does not fully represent the total jail population throughout the year. Jail populations rise (admissions) and fall (releases) day-to-day. These fluctuations are taken into account in the average daily

In this report … The average cost of producing a bushel of wheat was $3.97 for producers surveyed in 1998, ranging from about $1.25 to more than $6 per bushel. The cost of producing wheat generally declined as farm size increased. Regional differences in production practices and growing conditions were major influences on production costs and yields among wheat producers. Producers in the Prairie Gateway, a major wheat region, produced wheat at an average cost of $3.63 per bushel, the lowest cost among regions. Most high-cost farms and very large farms were in the Southeast region; these farms tended to be more diversified than farms in other regions, so wheat contributed a smaller share to their total farm income.
