March 1967 INTRODUCTION

This is the second bulletin in the series of publications prepared under the cooperative agreement between the College of Agriculture, University of Arizona and the Statistical Reporting Service, USDA. The first bulletin, Arizona Agricultural Statistics 1867-1965, published in February 1966, brought together the major historical series of data available on crops and livestock in Arizona. This bulletin brings these series up to date, shows revisions, and includes additional historical series not published previously.

After data become available from each 5-year Federal Census of Agriculture, the crop and livestock estimates for the preceding inter census years are reviewed and necessary revisions made based on Census data as well as any other check data that have become available. Arizona Agricultural Statistics 1967 includes revised data for all crops and current estimates for 1966 and 1967. The 1960-1965 revised estimates of vegetables will be published in Arizona Agricultural Statistics 1968. Revisions for honey and beeswax cover the period 1955-1965 and are included in this publication.

Agriculture remains one of the most important segments of the economy of Arizona. Each year the Arizona Crop and Livestock Reporting Service collects and records information on acreage, production, price, and related factors of each major crop and measures the ever changing livestock and poultry population and production. Since July 1965 this has been a joint effort of the State of Arizona through the Department of Agricultural Economics, College of Agriculture, University of Arizona and the United States Department of Agriculture through the Statistical Reporting Service. This cooperation avoids needless dup­ lication and provides the most economical means of collecting and disseminating information needed by farmers, ranchers and agri-business.

We want to acknowledge and say "thank you" to the many farmers, ranchers, dealers, processors, merchants, etc., who have provided the basic information from which the reports on crops and livestock are prepared. Credit is also due to the technical and clerical staff of the Arizona Crop and Livestock Reporting Service in preparation of estimates for publication. James Riggs had the lead in assembly and organization of data for publication and Miss Darlene Diller typed final copy. Special recognition is extended to Mrs. Evelyn Dye, State Statistical Clerk, who designed the cover page.

Field Crops

Production for the major field crops as a group in Arizona did not reach the high level achieved during the 1965 season. The combined value of the major field crops totaled $224 million compared with $298 million in 1965. This reduction in value was due to a reduction of harvested acres, generally lower prices, and to lower yields per acre.

It was an unusual year in that it got off to a very good start with badly needed moisture arriving late in 1965 and into the start of the 1966 season. This early moisture gave a rather bright outlook for the 1966 season in the fact that early spring plantings had good moisture and many of the lakes and reservoirs for irrigation water were filled for the first time in many years. However, this bright outlook became clouded and in some cases very dismal as the year progressed. The wet cool spring caused some replanting and delayed planting in some cases. As spring turned into summer, the delayed plantings caused increased pressures on farmers as crops under irrigation needed water at the same time. Even with surplus water supplies, many farmers were not able to get water at the optimum time.

The surrnner and fall months provided excellent harvesting weather, very little moisture, and little relief from the demands on irrigation water. Cotton farmers, who were anticipating a bumper crop early in the season, were taking a second look come mid-summer as the boll weevils and "pinkies" were threatening the crop. The pink bollworm was particularly damaging to the cotton crop and lowered the final yields.

Vegetables

Estimates of the major vegetables and melons grown for commercial production in Arizona include broccoli, cabbage, cantaloups, carrots, cauliflower, celery, honeydews, lettuce, onions and watermelons. No estimates are made for any other vegetables grown in the state. In 1966 cormnercial vegetables and melons as a group ranked second in value of production for the principal crops in Arizona. Only cotton had a higher value of production. In the United States, Arizona ranked fourth in fresh market vegetable and melon production.

Production of vegetables and melons failed to reach the record level achieved in 1965. The combined value of principal fresh market vegetables and melons was $68,554,000 well below the record $77,728,000 in 1965. Most of this reduction in value was due to lower prices and reduced yields. There was only a slight reduction in acres harvested.

Weather played a large role in causing the drop in value. The wet, cool weather in late 1965 and early 1966 caused a delay in the planting of spring vegetables and melons. This delay caused supplies from Arizona and other States, mainly California, to be available at about the same time. An oversupply of some vegetables and melons was created and the prices dropped. Because of the low prices only the best quality vegetables and melons were harvested, causing a reduction in yields. The drop in price and reduced yields combined to cause a large drop in value of production for the spring crops. The other seasonal groups of vegetables and melons, winter, summer, and fall, had average or better seasons. Lettuce was the only crop of the late fall group that showed a decrease in value. The cool, wet weather during the winter months was not ideal for growth or harvest but did not greatly affect the win­ ter crops. Good weather during the summer and fall months resulted in near normal growth and development.

Fruit

Production of grapefruit in Arizona from the 1966 bloom was the lowest since 1936. A late frost in the winter of 1965 is blamed for the low production. When the blooms first appeared on the trees, it gave the impression of a bumper crop in 1966. The damage from the frost was at first unnoticed because the trees were heavily covered with blooms and a good set of fruit appeared. However, an unusually heavy drop of fruit, which can probably be attributed to the frost, occurred during June resulting in a 40% smaller crop than last year.

The navel variety of oranges yielded a near normal production of fruit, but was low compared with last year's bumper crop. The Valencia orange harvest is just getting underway at the time of this writing and a record production is forecast. This is 10% larger than the previous record established in 1964. This high production is the result of two factors: (1) the excellent set of fruit on the mature trees and (2) the new trees which are coming into production, mainly in the Yuma area.

Lemon growers this year produced the largest crop on record with production exceeding early estimates. Again this is due to a good set of fruit and increased acreage mainly in the Yuma area. Overall weather conditions during the harvest season were excellent with only two or three days of light rain which caused very little delay in the harvest.

Arizona grape growers are in an unenviable position due to the stiff competition from the Coachella and Arvin areas in California. General market conditions during the last two years did very little to induce the sale of fresh packed grapes. With the closing of the winery, there was no local market for cull grapes, most of which were left on the vines.

Cattle

The cattle industry in Arizona has changed considerably in the past twenty years. Arizona had primarily range cattle until the early 50's, when commercial cattle feeding began to develop. Since 1963 about one-third of the January 1 inventory has been made up of cattle on feed. The future of the Arizona Cattle Feeding business will no doubt be influenced by the construction (now in progress) of a modern slaughtering plant near Tolleson. Having a local market for fat cattle should brighten the future for the entire cattle industry in Arizona. In the past few years at least 65% of Arizona grown fat cattle have gone to markets on the west coast.

The January 1, 1967 inventory of all cattle and calves in Arizona is estimated at 1,134,000 head, and was valued at $165,564,000 or $147.00 per head. The inventory includes: 80,000 cattle and calves kept for milk, 370,000 cattle and calves on feed, and 684,000 other cattle and calves. When compared with other States, Arizona ranks thirty-fourth in the total number of cattle and calves on farms and ranches, the same as in 1966.

Rains in November and December of 1965 pretty well set the stage for fairly abundant range feed supplies early in 1966, and range conditions in 1966 were above the 1960-64 average. This coupled with higher beef cattle prices in 1966 were major factors influencing ranchers to build up their breeding stock, which accounted for most of the increase in the January 1, 1967 inventory of all cattle and calves.

Hogs

Arizona does not produce enough hogs to fill the demand of our expanding population. In the past few years our inventory has stayed quite stable. However, the hog industry in Arizona appears to be at a turning point this year as a moderate increase was noted. Several established producers are expanding and many new producers have begun operations.

The hot summer weather of our desert climate is not an advantage when fattening hogs. When temperatures are high, it takes longer to get a hog to the desired slaughter weight. However, the conversion of feed to pork is not greatly influenced. During hot weather a hog uses less energy for general body maintenance and consequently the daily feed requirement is less. A cooled environment is rather essential during the farrowing period. For hogs being fed for market a simple shade device supplemented with foggers will suffice for cooling purposes.

The increase in the grain sorghum production in the past few years has created a local feed supply for the hog industry. Basically most of our producers are located in or near a grain sorghum produc­ tion area. Grain sorghum has from 90-95% of the feeding value of yellow corn and is considered a good hog feed.

The January 1, 1967 inventory of all hogs and pigs is estimated at 34,000 head, up about 20% from a year earlier.

Sheep &Wool

Arizona has a split sheep industry with about 40% White-owned and the rest Indian-owned. However, the ownership is not the only distin­ guishing feature. The White-owned sheep are on winter valley alfalfa pastures when lambs are born, where they remain until the lambs are sold as milk fat lambs early in the spring. Then, as weather and ranges permit, the breeding flocks are moved to high elevation ranges for the surrnner months. In contrast to this, the Indian-owned sheep are primarily in Northern Arizona year round. Lambs are born in April and May and are usually sold in October as feeder lambs weighing from 50-70 pounds. There has been a slight shift in the livestock situation on Indian reservations as the trend seems to be toward fewer sheep and more cattle.

Sheep on feed include only lambs born before October 1, and most of these lambs are brought in from out of state. Milk fat lambs born after October 1 are not included in our estimate of lambs on feed and are also not included in our January 1 inventory. The January 1, 1967 inventory of all sheep and lambs in Arizona is estimated at 527,000 head of which 202,000 are White-owned. The White-owned inventory in­ cludes 106,000 sheep and lambs on feed.

Poultry

Although Arizona has a relatively small number of poultry, it is

one of the most advanced states in technology. The climate control

houses that are being used in Arizona are believed to be the poultry

houses of the future. Also, the use of forced molting to bring hens '· in and out of production at a certain time, which has been used in

Arizona for about three years, is now getting more widespread use in

other states.

A record number of chickens was on Arizona farms on January 1,

1967. From 1926 to the mid-1950's, the inventory ran near the three-

quarter million mark. In 1955 it began increasing, reached a million

in 1959, and continued upward until passing the million and a half

mark this year. UNITED STATES
