Florida Agriculture Statistical Directory

Dear Friends of Agriculture, It is my pleasure to present the 2008 Florida Agriculture Statistical Directory. This report presents a wealth of information about Florida’s vast and varied agricultural production through data that details land use, crop yields, commodity prices, crop rankings and more. This yearly report is invaluable to anyone who is involved in this dynamic business or who wants to better understand its complexities.

The tables, charts and statistics contained in this report do an exceptional job of measuring the inputs and outputs, and presenting Florida agriculture in the context of “hard numbers.” But there is more to our state’s agricultural industry: our hard-working farmers, whose dedication, hard work and perseverance have made Florida agriculture into the diverse and highly productive industry that is respected throughout the globe.

As evidenced by the ever-growing popularity of the “Fresh from Florida” label, consumers worldwide appreciate and seek out the quality products that our farmers provide.

Maintaining these standards of excellence seldom comes easily as each year presents new challenges for Florida’s 40,000 commercial farmers. But, whether confronted by hurricanes, freezes, pests, diseases or fierce international competition, our state’s producers continually show that they are up to the test. Enterprising spirit, love of the land, and pride in their products are all hallmarks of the well- earned reputation of Florida’s farmers.

In addition to enjoying the quality products that our farmers produce, Florida’s agricultural production benefits our state’s residents in other important ways as well. Florida agriculture has an overall economic impact estimated at more than $100 billion annually, making it a sound pillar of the state’s economy. Florida agriculture is directly and indirectly responsible for 763,065 jobs and adds $3.58 billion to state and local tax rolls.

The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services works diligently to promote our state’s agricultural production and to help ensure the safety of these products from the field to the table. Our quality assurance and food safety programs help assure consumers of the wholesomeness of Florida agricultural products.

I sincerely thank you for your support of Florida’s farmers and encourage you to look for the “Fresh from Florida” label when shopping.

Sincerely,

Charles H. Bronson Commissioner of Agriculture

1 ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The acreage, production, and value statistics in this publication are the official State and USDA estimates prepared by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Florida Field Office in cooperation with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). These estimates are effective as of May 2009 and can be revised later in the year or in the following year, if and when additional data become available. Any revisions made to these estimates, as well as estimates made after May 2009, are included in reports posted to the website shown below and available from the NASS Florida Field Office.

Most of the data used to develop these estimates were provided voluntarily by growers, shippers, and processors and we sincerely appreciate their public spirited cooperation. The Florida Tomato Committee, the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, floriculture and nursery producers, sales agencies, and transportation firms have provided valuable assistance and data throughout the season. The FDACS Bureau of State Farmers Markets and the County Agricultural Agents of the University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service were also very helpful in supplying area and county estimates.

The individuals and organizations who make up the Florida agricultural industry need reliable and accurate estimates of production to make informed and knowledgeable decisions. Increasing unpredictability of commodity prices and competition from global markets make accurate and unbiased estimates even more important. Farmers, agribusinesses, producers groups, educators, researchers, legislators and the media all need these estimates to develop sound policies and to promote Florida agricultural products.

I want to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated staff of statisticians, support personnel, and field and telephone enumerators. They are the ones who have worked hard to collect, review, and summarize these important data and publish the results.

1/ 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 operators' 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.

Citrus

Florida accounted for 70% of all citrus produced in the United States last year

2007-08 SEASON CITRUS HIGHLIGHTS U.S. AND FLORIDA PRODUCTION

U.S. citrus utilized production for the 2007-08 season is 13.0 million tons, up 24 percent from the 2006-07 season but 27 percent lower than the record high production of 17.8 million tons for the 1997-98 season. Florida accounted for 70 percent the total; California totaled 27 percent, and Texas and Arizona produced the remaining 3 percent. Production of Florida citrus in the 2007-08 season is 203.8 million boxes, up 26 percent from the previous season. The primary reason for the increase is higher fruit per tree on all varieties. The average fruit per tree is 52 percent higher on early-midseason oranges (excluding Navels), and 59 percent higher on Valencias. The average fruit per tree on white grapefruit is the highest since the 1992-93 season, and on colored grapefruit higher than the previous three seasons. The all orange crop production, at 170.2 million boxes is up 32 percent. Early-midseason-Navel orange production is up 27 percent, Valencia production had a 37 percent increase. All grapefruit production at 26.6 million boxes is 2.2 percent less than the 2006-07 season. Increases in production were recorded for all types of specialty fruit.

TREE CENSUS

Total citrus acreage was reduced to 576,577 and is currently the lowest since record keeping began with the 1966 tree inventory. Since the year 2000, total acreage has declined nearly 31 percent or the equivalent of 255,698 acres. Polk County has 81,375 acres, the most acreage of any county. Hendry, Highlands, and DeSoto follow with over 60,000 acres each. All citrus trees are down 8 percent from 81,909,000 in 2006 to 75,376,100 in 2008. Of the total, oranges comprise 87 percent, grapefruit 8 percent, and the remainder includes specialty and other citrus. Since 2006, bearing trees decreased 7.2 percent to 71,000,600 while nonbearing trees declined 19.5 percent to 4,375,500. The decrease in both acres and trees since the 2006 tree inventory is a direct result of increased urban development, tree removals due to citrus canker and greening diseases, abandonment of non-productive groves, and two planned water reservoirs located in major citrus producing areas.

PRODUCTION BY AREAS AND COUNTIES Total citrus production in 2007-08 was up in all Florida commercial citrus production areas from the 2006-07 season. The Central and Western areas had the largest gains with increases of 16.2 million and 10.8 million boxes. Production in the top four counties increased by 33 percent. Together, they produced 50 percent of all citrus. Polk led with 31.0 million boxes, Hendry had 24.4 million boxes. Highlands followed closely with 24.1 million boxes, and DeSoto completed the four with 22.0 million boxes. Gains were recorded in 28 counties with only Hillsborough and Palm Beach producing less citrus. Leading orange producers were Polk at 27.1 million boxes, followed by Highlands at 22.7 million boxes and Hendry at 22.5 million boxes. Desoto came in fourth again this season at over 21.6 million boxes. The four counties combined accounted for 55 percent of the State’s total oranges. Indian River and St. Lucie far surpassed all other counties in grapefruit production, with nearly 18 million boxes combined. Together, they accounted for 67 percent of the State’s grapefruit crop. The Central area produced 39 percent of the State’s tangerines and 37 percent of the tangelos. The Southern area produced the second highest specialty crop, accounting for 28 percent of the tangerines and 17 percent of the tangelos.

VALUE The value of the 2007-08 U.S. citrus crop is up 2 percent from last season, to $3.22 billion (packinghouse-door equivalent). Total value of production for 2007-08 is lower for the orange, tangelo, and grapefruit crops but higher for the lemon, tangerine and mandarin crops. Orange value of production decreased 4 percent, grapefruit value decreased 15 percent, and tangelo value is down 36 percent from the previous season. Tangerine and mandarin value of production increased 40 percent from last season, and lemon value of production increased 31 percent. Beginning with the 2006-07 season, Temple production and value are included in the early-mid-Navel component of Florida's orange estimates. Florida’s $1.2 billion (on-tree equivalent) preliminary value of the 2007-08 citrus crop is down 19 percent from the 2006-07 season’s revised record value crop of $1.5 billion. The price per box and on-tree value of production is lower on all varieties. Tangelos suffered the largest decreases with price per box down 69 percent and value of production down 63 percent. The all orange price per box decreased 39 percent, tangerines are down 46 percent, but the grapefruit price per box is less than four percent lower. Preliminary value is based on that part of the crop priced at harvest, which accounts for all of the fresh fruit and about 40 percent of the processed. Nearly one-half of the processed oranges were priced but the figure for processed grapefruit and tangerines is about one-quarter of the total.

FOREIGN EXPORTS AND FROZEN CONCENTRATE Fresh fruit exports totaled 14.8 million 4/5 bushel cartons. Japan accounted for the majority of Florida grapefruit. Canada received the most of Florida’s orange and specialty fresh fruit exports. A total of 10.1 million gallons of FCOJ (Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice), and 7.6 million gallons of FCGJ (Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice) were exported in the 2007-08 season. Final FCOJ yield, reported by the Florida Department of Citrus, set record highs for all oranges (1.67274 gallons per box) and late oranges (1.79034), but was lower than the previous season for early-midseason fruit (1.55335). The final tangerine yield (FCTJ) was up (1.47635) and the final grapefruit yield (FCGJ) was down (1.31020).

B-13 29 Field Crops

Acreage harvested for field crops in 2008 was up 3% and totaled 592,000 acres 2008 FIELD CROPS HIGHLIGHTS VALUE

The 2008 value of production for hay, peanuts, cotton and cottonseed, corn, pecans, soybeans, and wheat totaled $283,292,000, an increase of $55,596,000 or 24 percent from the revised 2007 value of production of $227,696,000. Cotton was the only field crop for which the value of production declined in 2008.

ACREAGE AND PRODUCTION

Acreage harvested for field crop production (excluding sugarcane) in 2008 was up 3 percent and totaled 592,000 acres. This was an increase of 16,000 acres from the revised 576,000 acres harvested in 2007. Harvested hay acreage was down 20,000 and cotton decreased 16,000 acres. Harvested acres of peanuts were up 21,000. Soybean and wheat acres harvested more than dou- bled in 2008 and were up 242 and 256 percent, respectively.

SUGARCANE

The value for the 2007 crop of sugarcane was set at $426,600,000, up slightly from $425,324,000 in 2006. Production was up 2 percent in 2007 at 14,520,000 tons. Yield was up 0.2 ton at 36.3 tons to the acre.

CROP WEATHER

As January began, farmers prepared crops for freezing temperatures. Potato planting continued in the tri-county area of Putnam, Flagler, and St. Johns counties, but growers took precautions by storing seed potatoes in barns with heaters. Unusually cold temperatures caused damage to small grains. Field activity slowed due to frost. Sugarcane harvesting remained active in the Everglades region. Although the long drought was interrupted mid-month by heavy rain across the State, water levels were still very low. Hay supplies and quality were suffering due to cold temperatures and insufficient rain.

Field work continued in early February as occasional rains improved soil moisture conditions in some areas of the Panhan- dle. Potato planting was steady in central Florida while harvesting began for some counties in the southern Peninsula. Hay supply was very low in parts of the Panhandle. Growers in south Florida harvested sugarcane. Winter wheat planting wrapped up. Late February showers soaked the western Panhandle and had some negative effects on wheat. Freezing temperatures caused some damage to Flagler County potatoes.

Soil moisture levels in the Panhandle were mostly adequate to surplus in the beginning of March. Fields were very wet and little farming was underway. Hay was in short supply in many areas. The local potato crop looked good in northeast Florida and was blooming by late March. Some growers decided not to plant cotton or corn due to the high cost of fuel and fertilizer. Recent wet weather in Santa Rosa County negatively impacted the late-planted winter wheat crop. By the end of March, dry and clear conditions allowed land preparations for field crop planting.

The significant rains in early April elevated soil moisture supplies. Most of the corn crop was harvested in the Panhandle while some producers in the Big Bend planted acres as well. Cool temperatures slowed plant germination and growth during the week of April 14-20. The potato harvest was underway in the Hastings area. Warm, dry daytime temperatures and scarce rain in late April increased the need for irrigation of the late-maturing crops in many fields. Peanut planting began in parts of the Pan- handle and cotton planting began where fields had sufficient moisture.

Extreme drought conditions combined with gusty wind increased the danger of wildfire outbreaks during May. Several crop acres were stressed due to lack of rain. Hay was made where possible, but dry conditions left the crop in short supply. Acres of the cotton crop were replanted in areas of the Panhandle due to inadequate moisture.

Warm, dry, and windy conditions continued in early June. Many growers utilized irrigation systems. Wind damage affected a small percentage of the wheat acreage in the Panhandle. The drought persisted during the first half of June which continued to affect all field crops. Growers welcomed significant showers mid to late June. Peanuts were planted mostly ahead of schedule.

Rainfall continued as July began and conditions for most crops improved further. The central and southern regions of Flor- ida received significant precipitation. Throughout the Panhandle however, rain showers were occurring, but less frequently. The lighter precipitation encouraged crops, but soils quickly returned to dry. Cotton in Washington and Jackson counties was doing well; however, cotton planted late was growing slowly. During mid-month, Pasco County reported relatively large amounts of hay being baled. By late July, small quantities of hay were being baled in Marion County. In Hendry County, hay was in good C-1 31

condition. Rain continued to fall across the State. Some areas reported receiving almost too much precipitation. The peanut crop was being treated for tobacco worms, but 79% of peanuts were rated good or excellent as of July 27. As cotton emerged, growers practiced weed control. Sugarcane that went dormant from the stress of spring drought, worked to return to normal.

Early August began with showers covering most areas of the Sunshine State. The peanut crop progressed on schedule and most were rated good to excellent. Mid-month brought drier conditions for the Panhandle and Big Bend areas. Growers used irrigation when available. Santa Rosa County reported stress on the cotton due to dry conditions. Hay baling picked up in Mar- ion County. Rainfall returned to the Panhandle and crop condition once again improved. Cotton, corn, and soybeans were mostly in good condition. Tropical Storm Fay caused excessive rainfall and flooding in many parts of the State. Many fields had standing water and flooding which halted field work. The corn harvest was delayed until moisture levels lowered. The end of the month bought more heavy rainfall to the already saturated eastern half of the central Peninsula counties. Flooding in Nassau County damaged the cotton crop. Jackson County cotton growers reported hard lock and boll rot. Standing water prevented hay baling in many fields. Other areas reported that water was draining quickly and damage from the tropical storm was minimal.

Although rain was not plentiful for northern Florida in early September, some fields were still very wet and trying to dry out from Tropical Storm Fay. A few growers reported losses. Several areas were not affected by winds or flooding and as a result, expected good yields. Corn harvesting wrapped up and peanut harvesting began around mid-month. The occasional shower delayed field work, but the rain was needed for most locations. Growers began harvesting cotton towards the end of the month. By the last week of September, peanut condition was rated 34% fair, 53% good, and 13% excellent. Peanut digging was 30% completed compared to 22% in 2007.

Fields in northern counties were dry in early October. The harvesting of peanuts continued despite some delays from ex- tremely dry soils. Cotton and soybean growers began harvesting. During the second week of October significant rain fell on the north and central regions of the State. Some peanut growers reported that cool nights slowed the maturing of their crop that remained in the ground. Soil moisture quickly returned to dry in most of the Panhandle, delaying some winter grains from being planted. Towards the end of October, beneficial rains revisited the Panhandle and southern area. Sugarcane harvest had just begun.

By November 1st peanut digging was approximately 90% complete, compared to 87% at this time in 2007. Clear skies aided field work for most regions. Cotton growers continued to harvest, with over half of the crop picked from the fields. Ok- aloosa County growers reported that they were cutting soybeans. Rye and other small grains emerged. Soil moisture levels were mostly short to adequate. Around mid-month, rain caused some field work delays in the Panhandle but relieved dry conditions. Cotton, soybeans, peanuts, corn, and hay harvests were nearly finished. Sugarcane harvest remained active.

Wheat was planted in the Panhandle during the first part of December. Most cotton harvesting wrapped up. In mid- December the Panhandle received over four inches of rain which helped most fields. The end of December was mostly dry, but pest and disease concerns remained. Sugarcane was harvested in south Florida. Some potato growers were preparing land, while others had already begun planting.

The 2007-08 value of production for the seven major vegetable crops totaled over $1.98 billion, up 9% over the previous year 2007-08 SEASON VEGETABLES HIGHLIGHTS

VALUE

The 2007-08 value of production for the seven major vegetable crops, potatoes, berries, and watermelons totaled $1,984,680,000, up 9 percent from the 2006-07 value of $1,809,302,000. Sweet corn, bell peppers, squash, tomatoes, and blueberries showed increases in the value of production for 2007-08 from the 2006-07 crop, while snap beans, cabbage, cucumbers, potatoes, and strawberries were showing declines from the previous season. Watermelons were virtually unchanged from last year.

ACREAGE

Harvested acreage of the seven major vegetable crops, potatoes, berries, and watermelons, totaled 225,900 acres during the 2007-08 crop season, up 3,300 acres or 1 percent above last season. Cabbage, sweet corn, cucumbers, squash, watermelons, potatoes, strawberries, and blueberries all had increased acreage in 2007-08. Snap beans, bell peppers, and tomatoes declined from the previous season.

PRODUCTION

Production of the seven major vegetable crops, potatoes, berries, and watermelons totaled 52,306,000 cwt. during the 2007-08 growing season, down 728,000 cwt. or 1 percent below the previous year. Sharp production declines in snap beans, strawberries, and tomatoes more than offset increases of the remaining commodities. Tomato yield was affected by reduced demand from salmonella scare. Strawberry yield was near normal but was well below the record crop from the previous season.

WEATHER

In July, vegetable harvest was nearly finished for most crops. Adequate rainfall and warm temperatures left crops in good condition. By early August, vegetable producers were busy preparing land for fall planting. Field work came to an end late August when Tropical Storm Fay brought excessive rainfall and flooding to many parts of the State. Sod farms reported substantial losses. Vegetable growers lost crops and limb breakage decreased pecan production. Rain was plentiful in early September. Some fields were still very wet and trying to dry out. Mid-September allowed excellent weather for field progress and vegetable planting was underway in Hernando, Highland, and Hardee counties. Fields in northern counties were dry in early October. Significant showers fell over the northern and central regions bringing concerns of disease to some producers. Conditions were dry and cool in early November. Dade County began harvesting snap beans while Gadsden County continued harvesting tomatoes. The production of cucumber, melons, and squash in the central Peninsula slowed due to cold weather. Growers reported slowed growth in December due to cool temperatures and frost. Light volumes of strawberries began moving through the market. Light volumes of cabbage were harvested and the okra market declined seasonally. January began with mostly dry conditions and more rain was still needed. Potatoes were planted in St. Johns, Putnam, and Flagler counties. Lee County plowed under damaged potato plants. Warm temperatures and showers came in late January. February had warmer temperatures early in the month followed by freeze. Scattered showers were received mostly in the Panhandle and Big Bend while other areas were in much need of precipitation. Several counties pushed planting back due to the freezes. Watermelon fields were in final preparation in Alachua County and cabbage harvesting continued in St. Johns County. March had very little rain allowing field work to progress, but hindering most crops. Vegetables looked good, but production was slow due to drought and cold stress. Growers prepared fields in the northern regions for spring vegetables early in the month, but spring vegetables in the southern region were already planted. Scattered showers fell late March, but accumulation barely eased drought conditions. The final week of March brought heavy rain and flooding to the Panhandle. Field work was delayed in early April due to heavy rains, but field preparation took place for caladiums in Highlands County. Potato harvest continued in the tri-county area and corn was planted in Escambia County. Sugarcane harvest ended for the season. Strawberry harvest ended in Hillsborough County, but continued in Washington and Bradford counties. Growers began cutting watermelons in the southern Peninsula. Very little rain was recorded throughout Florida during May and dry soil conditions remained. Peanut and cotton planting continued with the recent lack of rain allowing growers to progress field activity. Blueberries were harvested in Hardee County. Most broccoli harvesting was finished and some cabbage remained in the tri-county area. Growers used irrigation to keep their vegetables in good condition. The season was over for some growers in southern Florida while northern area producers just began.

E-1 72 DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS

PLANTED ACREAGE is the total acreage which has been planted for harvest during the crop year. Acreage lost and replanted to the same crop in time for harvest in the same quarter is counted only once. Acreage harvested and planted again to the same crop is counted twice.

HARVESTED ACREAGE is the acreage partially or completely harvested. Acreage lost before or at maturity through natural or economic causes is not included in the acreage for harvest.

YIELD is the average production per harvested acre of merchantable quality harvested and sold or utilized for human consumption.

PRODUCTION is the quantity actually harvested and sold or utilized for human consumption.

UNIT VALUE for fresh market sales is the equivalent price received, f.o.b. shipping point basis and encompasses all grades and sizes marketed or utilized. Included are packing charges, selling charges, precooling, top ice, or other costs which contribute to the value of the product at shipping point. The value per unit for quantities sold to processors is the average value paid for usable quantities, on a "delivered to plant door" basis. This value includes transportation and other normal costs incident to delivery at plant door.

TOTAL VALUE is the equivalent value of production sold or utilized based on the unit value. Cullage and other quantities not sold or utilized because of natural or economic factors are excluded.

OTHER COUNTIES include harvested acreage for all counties for which either published data would result in the disclosure of individual operations or acreage totals for specific commodities of minor importance in the State.

PRODUCTION AND PRICE UNIT--The official USDA vegetable crop estimates are published on a weight basis. For this bulletin, the official estimates for most vegetable crops have been converted to what is believed to be the most commonly used containers. If changes in container weights are necessary, all data pertaining to the production of the commodity in question are revised to maintain comparability between years. The table below gives the net weight used per container and the number of containers per hundredweight for Florida produce.

Forestry

Timber and forest products remain a major part of Florida’s economy Forestry Information Urban sprawl, land use conversion and market changes have been identified by the U.S. Forest Service as the major challengers to the future of forestry in the South. Over the next 15 years, Florida is predicted to grow by 30 percent – 4.5 million people – bringing the state population to over 18 million. Land use will grow by 40 percent during this same time. Despite an increase in forest fragmentation, timber remains a major part of Florida’s economy. This is reflected in timber resource base and in the products harvested off Florida forests. In 2005, Florida timberlands totaled 15.6 million acres and supported more harvestable wood volume than anytime in the previous 18 years. Growing stock volume (trees > 5 inch DBH and of commercially valuable species) increased from 619 to 686 million green tons between 1987 and 2005. This is a result of increased net annual growth from 22.4 million to 26.2 million green tons, and relatively constant annual removals of about 20 million green tons. Where does the wood come from? • 70% from private non-industrial landowners • 16% from forest industry • 14% from public lands In the last decade, more than two thirds (70 percent) of all harvests came from non-industrial private forests (NIPF), 16 percent came from forest industry lands and 14 percent came from public lands. Among the 13 southern states, Florida ranked 10th in total roundwood production, fifth in pulpwood, ninth in veneer logs and 11th in saw logs production in 2003 (Johnson et al. 2006). By 2005, Florida slipped to ninth in pulpwood production (Johnson and Steppleton 2007). Harvested wood volume varies from year to year depending on many factors including catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, which increase the harvested volume due to salvage operations. www.floridaforest.org/facts_resources.php Disclaimer: The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services provides the data on the following charts ‘as is’ and without warranties of any kind either expressed or implied.

AQUACULTURE HIGHLIGHTS

Florida aquaculture producers reported sales of $75 million during 2005, down from 95.5 million in 2003 due to devastating hurricanes of 2004 and 2005. In 2005, sales increased for alligator farmers, but decreased for tropical fish, aquatic plants, hard clams, turtles, sportfish, and a variety of food fish including catfish, tilapia, and hybrid striped bass. There were 359 operations that reported sales for 2005 versus 544 farms in 2003. In 2003, 544 operations used 6,450 water acres in production, versus 3,010 water acres used by 359 operations during 2005.
