Acknowledgments

The success of the census of agriculture is directly dependent upon the participation of Americas farmersand ranchers, and we are grateful for every agricultural operator who furnished the information requested.Their cooperation and support helped make the 2007 Census of Agriculture the most successful count inhistory. It was their future, their voice, and their responsibility and they spoke out for their farms and theirindustry.

The 2007 census was the most comprehensive effort to date to reach all agriculture operations, regardlessof size. We appreciate our relationship with the American Indian community and the many communitybased organizations across the country that helped educate their constituents about the importance of thecensus. Their support aided greatly in our efforts.

Additionally, there were many organizations and partners who recognize the importance of good data andhelped encourage producers to respond. The farm organizations, stakeholder groups, and agriculturalmedia were instrumental in building awareness of the census and encouraging farmers and ranchers toparticipate. They truly were effective partners driving the message that the census is every producersvoice, future, and responsibility.

Other USDA agencies and representatives from State departments of agriculture offered invaluable adviceduring the planning, data collection, and processing phases of the census. They also provided criticalassistance at the local level to farmers and ranchers completing census forms. Special thanks are extendedto the enumerators who collect data locally through NASSs cooperative agreement with the NationalAssociation of State Departments of Agriculture. By helping NASS build and maintain qualityrelationships with our primary stakeholders, the enumerators are important contributors to qualitystatistics.

Members of the Advisory Committee on Agriculture Statistics and representatives of both public andprivate organizations offered recommendations on census content. NASS appreciates their strong andconsistent support for our programs.

Finally, NASS acknowledges the services provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce, NationalProcessing Center in Jeffersonville, IN.

2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION VI


Introduction

HISTORY

For 156 years (1840 - 1996), the U.S. Department ofCommerce, Bureau of the Census was responsiblefor collecting census of agriculture data. The 1997Appropriations Act contained a provision thattransferred the responsibility for the census ofagriculture from the Bureau of the Census to the U.S.Department of Agriculture (USDA), NationalAgricultural Statistics Service (NASS). The 2007

Census of Agriculture is the 27th Federal census ofagriculture and the third conducted by NASS.

The first agriculture census was taken in 1840 as partof the sixth decennial census of population. Theagriculture census continued to be taken as part ofthe decennial census through 1950. A separate mid-decade census of agriculture was conducted in 1925,1935, and 1945. From 1954 to 1974, the census wastaken for the years ending in 4 and 9. In 1976,Congress authorized the census of agriculture to be

taken for 1978 and 1982 to adjust the data referenceyear so that it coincided with other economiccensuses. This adjustment in timing established theagriculture census on a 5-year cycle collecting datafor years ending in 2 and 7.

USES OF CENSUS DATA

The census of agriculture is the leading source offacts and statistics about the Nations agriculturalproduction. It provides a detailed picture of U.S.

farms and ranches every five years and is the onlysource of uniform, comprehensive agricultural datafor every State and county or county equivalent inthe U.S.

Agriculture census data are routinely used by farmorganizations, businesses, State departments ofagriculture, elected representatives and legislativebodies at all levels of government, public and private

sector analysts, the news media, and colleges anduniversities. Agriculture census data are used to:

Evaluate, change, promote, and formulate farmand rural policies and programs that helpagricultural producers;

Study historical trends, assess current conditionsand plan for the future;

Formulate market strategies, provide moreefficient production and distribution systems, andlocate facilities for agricultural communities;

Make energy projections and forecast needs foragricultural producers and their communities;

Develop new and improved methods to increaseagricultural production and profitability;

Allocate local and national funds for farm

programs, e.g. extension service projectsagricultural research, soil conservation programsand land-grant colleges and universities;

Plan for operations during drought andemergency outbreaks of diseases or infestationsof pests.

Analyze and report on the current state of foodfuel, feed, and fiber production in the UnitedStates.

In addition agricultural news media and agriculturalassociations use census data as background materialfor stories and articles on U.S. agriculture and thefoods we produce.

AUTHORITY

The 2007 Census of Agriculture is required by law


8/715

VIII INTRODUCTION 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE


under the Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,Public Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code,Section 2204g). The law directs the Secretary ofAgriculture to conduct a census of agriculture in1998 and in every fifth year after, covering the prioryear. The census of agriculture includes each State,Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, theCommonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands, and

American Samoa.

FARM DEFINITION

The census definition of a farm is any place fromwhich $1,000 or more of agricultural products wereproduced and sold, or normally would have beensold, during the census year. The definition haschanged nine times since it was established in 1850.The current definition was first used for the 1974Census of Agriculture and has been used in each

subsequent agriculture census. This definition isconsistent with the definition used for current USDAsurveys. The farm definition used for each U.S.territory varies. The report for each territoryincludes a discussion of its farm definition.

DATA COMPARABILITY

Most data are comparable between the 2007 and2002 censuses. A few changes were made to the2007 census that affect comparability for some data

items. See Appendix B, General Explanation andCensus of Agriculture Report Form, Data Changesfor a detailed discussion of these changes. Dollarfigures are expressed in current dollars and have notbeen adjusted for inflation or deflation. In general,data for censuses since 1974 are not fullycomparable with data for 1969 and earlier censusesdue to changes in the farm definition.

REFERENCE PERIOD

Reference periods for the 2007 Census ofAgriculture were similar to those used in the 2002Census of Agriculture. Reference periods usedwere:

Crop production is measured for the calendaryear, except for a few crops such as avocados,citrus, and olives for which the production yearoverlaps the calendar year. See Appendix B,

General Explanation and Census of AgricultureReport Form for details.

Livestock, poultry, and machinery and equipmentinventories, market value of land and buildings,and grain storage capacity are measured as ofDecember 31 of the census year.

Crop and livestock sales, farm expenses, incomefrom federal farm programs, irrigation,Commodity Credit Corporation loansConservation Reserve, Farmable Wetlands,Conservation Reserve Enhancement, andWetlands Reserve Program participation, directsales income, chemical and fertilizer use, farm-related income, and hired farm labor data aremeasured for the calendar year.

TABLES AND APPENDICES

Chapter 1. Table 1 shows state-level historical datathrough the 1978 census and tables 2 through 57show detailed state-level data usually accompaniedby historical data from the 2002 census. Tables 58through 65 show detailed state-level data cross-tabulated by several categories for the 2007 censusonly.

Chapter 2. County-level data are presented in 56tables in 2 different table formats - county and

county summary. Most tables include 2002 historicaldata. County tables include general data for allcounties within the State. The county names arelisted in alphabetical order in the column headings.County summary tables provide comprehensive datafor all counties reporting a data item.

Appendix A. Provides information about datacollection and data processing activities anddiscusses the statistical methodology used inconducting and evaluating the census. Table A

summarizes nonresponse and coverage adjustmentfor selected items for the State. Table B providesreliability estimates of State totals for selected items.Table C summarizes nonresponse and coverageadjustment for selected items at the county level.Table D provides total number of American Indianor Alaska Native farm operators both on and offreservations by county.

Appendix B. Includes definitions of specific termsand phrases used in this publication, including itemsin the publication tables that carry the note "seetext." It also provides facsimiles of the report formand instruction sheet used to collect data.

RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY

In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of theUnited States Code, no data are published that woulddisclose information about the operations of anindividual farm or ranch. All tabulated data aresubjected to an extensive disclosure review prior topublication. Any tabulated item that identifies datareported by a respondent or allows a respondentsdata to be accurately estimated or derived, wassuppressed and coded with a D. However, thenumber of farms reporting an item is not considered

confidential information and is provided even thoughother information is withheld.

SPECIAL EFFORTS DIRECTEDAT MINORITIES

NASS implemented several activities to improvecoverage of minority farm operators. Theseactivities included, but were not limited to:

Obtaining mail lists from organizations likely tocontain names and addresses of minority farmoperators; and

Conducting pre-census promotion activities thattargeted women, American Indian and AlaskaNative, Black and African American, andSpanish, Hispanic, or Latino origin farmoperators; and

In 2002 an initial effort was made to collect data

from individual operators on American Indianreservations in three States. In 2007 this effortwas expanded to attempt to collect data fromoperators on reservations in all States withreservations; and

Producing a Spanish report form version for FieldOffice and enumerator use.

SPECIAL STUDIES AND CUSTOMTABULATIONS

Special studies such as the 2008 Farm and RanchIrrigation Survey, the 2008 Organic ProductionSurvey, the 2009 Census of Horticultural Specialtiesthe 2010 Census of Aquaculture, and the 2010 Landand Economic Stability Survey are part of the census

program and provide supplemental information tothe 2007 Census of Agriculture in the respectivesubject area. Results are published in print and onthe internet.

Custom-designed tabulations may be developedwhen data are not published elsewhere. Thesetabulations are developed to individual userspecifications on a cost-reimbursable basis andshared with the public. The census Volume 1 onCD-ROM is an alternative data source that should be

investigated before requesting a custom tabulation.

All special studies and custom tabulations are subjectto a thorough disclosure review prior to release toprevent the disclosure of any individual respondentdata. Requests for custom tabulations can besubmitted via the internet from the NASS homepage, by mail, or by e-mail to:
