Dear Friends of Agriculture,
Agriculture is a powerful economic engine for the state of Florida, generating more than $120 billion in annual economic impact and supporting more than 2 million jobs every year. Florida’s agriculture industry is also steadily evolving due to continued challenges facing our iconic citrus industry, with fresh market vegetables, fruits and livestock industries increasing their contributions to the state’s overall agricultural cash value. 2016 was a tremendous year for many “Fresh From Florida” commodities. Several top commodities had higher production value than in 2015 including, strawberries ($450 million), sweet corn ($160 million), cucumber ($117 million), cotton ($65 million) and cabbage ($49 million). Florida continues to lead the United States in production value of fresh market snap beans, fresh market cucumbers, cucumbers for processing, grapefruit, oranges, and tomatoes. This year, Florida also took the production value lead in sugarcane and watermelons. This publication, produced by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a compilation of useful data and information that summarizes agriculture’s impact to our great state. Collectively, these figures reveal the extent that Florida agriculture feeds and enriches the lives of Floridians, people throughout the United States and around the world. Find these figures and more in this 2016 edition of Florida Agriculture by the Numbers..
Sincerely,
Adam H. PutnamCommissioner of Agriculture

ACKNOWLEDGMENTThe 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 current as of September 2017 and may be revised later in the year or in the following year, if additional data become available. Any revisions made to these estimates, as well as estimates made after September 2017, 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, Florida Department of Citrus, 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, citrus field staff, 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.

FLORIDA AGRICULTURE BY THE NUMBERSFlorida Agriculture by the Numbers has been published to provide you with reliable, comprehensive information and data on Florida agriculture. People worldwide use the basics of food, fiber and forestry products daily. Florida’s producers contribute greatly to the bounty enjoyed in Florida, the United States and beyond. The following pages tell their story of productivity, innovation and delivery.
This reference book is divided by sections for ease of use. The Agricultural Overview Section provides a general overview of Florida agriculture. The Agricultural Statistics Section presents comparative performances of major commodity groups and benchmark economic data. The Groups Directory Section offers contact information for a variety of agricultural related entities. Both public and private organizations are listed. The Department Contacts Section identifies the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services’ divisions with contact information.
As is occasionally the case when analyzing agricultural and economic data, numbers in rows or columns do not always sum exactly. This usually occurs when large numbers are abbreviated or when composite prices are compiled. The difference in these cases is a rounding margin. The rounding of numbers occurs in these pages when space is a consideration.
Whether you are using this book to learn more about Florida agriculture, as a reference for contact information or for any other use, Florida Agriculture by the Numbers will definitely serve as an excellent reference source throughout the year. Together, these sections provide a valuable insight to Florida agriculture and its impact on Florida’s economy.
We are pleased to present Florida Agriculture by the Numbers. If you need additional information or assistance, please call the Division of Marketing and Development at (850) 617-7300.

U.S. and Florida ProductionUnited States citrus utilized production for the 2015-2016 season totaled 8.56 million tons, down 6 percent from the 2014-2015 season. Florida accounted for 49 percent of total U.S. citrus production; California totaled 47 percent, and Texas and Arizona combined produced the remaining 4 percent.Florida’s share of U.S. citrus production was 94.2 million boxes in the 2015-2016 season, down 16 percent from the previous season’s 113 million boxes. Production decreased for all citrus varieties when compared to the previous season.Florida’s all orange production decreased by 16 percent to 81.6 million boxes. All grapefruit production is down 16 percent to 10.8 million boxes. Production of tangerines is down 38 percent, and tangelo production is down 41 percent.
Production by Area and CountyThe top 5 citrus producing counties were Hendry (14.3 million boxes), DeSoto (12.8 million), Polk (12.5 million), Highlands (9.74 million), and Hardee (8.44 million). Together they account for 61 percent of the state’s total citrus production. The Southern area had the most citrus, followed by the Western and Central areas. The remaining two areas, the Indian River and Northern area, account for only 16 percent of the state’s total citrus production. Oranges constitute 87 percent of the citrus production, grapefruit accounted for over 11 percent, and tangerines and tangelos represent only 2 percent. Estimates of county production are prepared from objective survey data used in forecasting citrus crop production. The apportionment of final harvest to the counties is based on bearing trees, an estimate of the average fruit per tree, and the drop and size surveys. Sample size used in these surveys and the distribution of the sample groves around the state are chosen to minimize error in the estimates of production and are not to be considered as precise for the counties as at the state or area levels.
ValueThe value of the 2015-16 United States citrus crop decreased slightly from last season, to $3.34 billion (packinghouse door equivalent). Orange value of production decreased 13 percent from last season and grapefruit value is up 16 percent. Tangerine and mandarin value of production is 36 percent higher than last season and lemon value of production is up 5 percent. Tangelo value decreased 6 percent from the previous season. Florida’s $825 million preliminary on-tree value of the 2015-2016 citrus crop is 21 percent less than the revised value of $1.05 billion for 2014-2015. The price per box is lower for oranges and Honey tangerines, but higher for the grapefruit, tangelos and early tangerines. Only grapefruit and tangelos have a higher value of production than last season.

Foreign ExportsFresh fruit exports totaled 6.0 million 4/5 bushel cartons. Japan accounted for the majority of Florida’s grapefruit exports. Canada received most of Florida’s orange and tangerine exports. A total of 10.4 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ), and 1.7 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice (FCGJ) were exported in the 2015-2016 season.
Frozen ConcentrateFinal Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) yield, as reported by the Florida Department of Citrus, was 1.405527 gallons per box of 42° Brix concentrate. This 2015-2016 yield is the lowest since the 1989-1990 freeze affected season. The early-midseason portion of the crop finalized at 1.347046 gallons per box. The late crop yielded 1.472983 gallons per box.The final Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice (FCGJ) yield was 1.182574 gallons per box of 40° Brix concentrate, up from the previous season’s final of 1.174619 gallons per box. A record FCGJ yield of 1.364660 gallons was set in the 2006-2007 season.The final Frozen Concentrated Tangerine Juice (FCTJ) yield of 1.275460 gallons per box of 42° Brix concentrate was lower than last season’s final of 1.372700 gallons per box.

Tree InventoryResults of the annual Commercial Citrus Inventory show total citrus acreage is 480,121 acres, down 4 percent from the last survey and the lowest in a series which began in 1966. The gross loss of 31,365 acres is the largest loss recorded in a single season since beginning one year interval surveys in 2009. New plantings, at 10,090 acres is less than each of the last two seasons. Of the 27 counties included in the survey, 24 recorded decreases in acreage, 3 showed increases. Polk County had the largest decrease in acreage, down 4,033 acres from last year, while Hillsborough County had the highest percentage net loss, with a 33 percent reduction in acreage. Hendry County had the highest gain with 512 acres, followed by DeSoto and Charlotte counties. Polk remains the leader in acres with 76,455 acres. Orange acreage declined to 425,728, continuing a trend that began after the 2000 survey. Valencia acreage accounts for over 54 percent of the total orange acreage, non-Valencia acreage represents just under 43 percent, and unidentified acreage is 3 percent. Grapefruit acreage is now at 40,316, the lowest in the series. White grapefruit sustained the greater loss at 17 percent, while red seedless grapefruit lost only 4 percent of its total.Specialty fruit acreage continued to decline and is now at 14,077 acres, down 11 percent from the last survey.

2016 FIELD CROPS HIGHLIGHTSValueThe 2016 total value of production for corn, cotton, cottonseed, hay, peanuts, soybeans and wheat totaled $343 million, a decrease of less than 1 percent from the previous year’s total of $344 million. The total value of corn production decreased 26 percent and was valued at $19.7 million. The value of soybean production ($9.14 million) increased 4 percent. Peanut value of production ($108 million) decreased 11 percent, and hay ($130 million) increased by 6 percent.
Acreage and ProductionAcreage harvested in 2016 for corn, cotton, hay, peanuts, soybeans and wheat totaled 634 thousand acres, down 2 percent from the 647 thousand acres harvested in 2015. Harvested acreage for cotton (102,000), hay (300,000), and wheat (17,000) increased. Decreased acreage was estimated for corn (40,000), and peanuts (147,000) and soybeans (28,000). Production increased for cotton (28%) and cottonseed (39%). Production declined for hay (less than 1%), soybeans (-5%), peanuts (-12%), corn (-18%), and wheat (-21%).
SugarcaneFlorida producers harvested 413 thousand acres of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2015, up 1 percent from 2014. Production was up 12 percent in 2015 from 2014. The value of production for the 2015 sugarcane for sugar crop was $602 million, up 9 percent from the 2014 total of $554 million.
Crop WeatherIn January 2016, cotton harvest wrapped up in Jackson County the final two weeks and continued in Walton County. Sugarcane harvest activities continued as sucrose levels rose due to cooler temperatures. Heavy winds caused lodging in some sugarcane fields and disrupted harvest activities in some localities. Wet conditions delayed harvest schedules the final week. Sugarcane planting was impeded by heavy rainfall the final portion of the month.In February, heavy rainfall caused standing water in Washington County fields. Field work was at a standstill in Jackson County. Winter wheat and other grains suffered some damage due to wet conditions. Northern Florida fields were too wet for soil preparation during the middle portion of February. Sugarcane harvest activities resumed as drier weather conditions prevailed the second week. Field preparation resumed in Washington County the third week. Current sugarcane harvest delays placed harvest schedules behind normal.In March, soil moisture ratings statewide were 21 percent surplus at the first of the month. Field conditions continued to improve the second week as more land preparation was underway in the Panhandle. The lifting of weight restrictions on cane trucks in Palm Beach County helped sugarcane harvesting pace. Peanut land preparation made good progress in Jackson County. Heavy rains in Washington County needed reworking prior to planting row crops. Excessive rainfall in the Panhandle region hampered field work in several localities. In April, fieldwork resumed in most areas. Corn planting occurred in the northern areas. Peanut planting began in Lafayette and Hamilton counties. Corn planting was complete in Lafayette and Hamilton counties. Sugarcane harvest was near completion in St. Lucie County as many fields were replanted and starting to gain size. Fieldwork activity pace increased as weather conditions improved. Sugarcane harvest and increased outturn due to recent rains and daytime heat.In May, cotton planting began in Walton and Jackson counties. Soil temperatures warmed up sufficiently for more peanut seeding in Jackson and Jefferson counties. Corn planting was near completion in Washington and Dixie counties the first week of May. Available soil moisture was insufficient for planting in some areas the second week. Rainfall delayed harvest in some Palm Beach County sugarcane fields. Hay cutting and baling was reported in several Panhandle areas and north central portions. Dry weather during the third week allowed peanut and cotton planting to progress quickly in the Panhandle. However, other areas with dry ground halted plantings until additional moisture is received. Corn showed
moisture stress in Escambia County fields. Sugarcane harvest, which is normally complete at the end of April, was ongoing in the major producing counties. This late sugarcane harvest is attributed to a wet fall producing a larger crop and rain delays during harvest. Hay harvesting activities occurred in several counties as small grain harvest began the latter portion of the month. In June, corn harvest began with good reported quality in Dixie County. Soybean planting was complete in Madison County during the first week. Received rain, along with anticipated moisture from Tropical Storm Colin, provided sufficient moisture for remaining fields to be planted during the first week. Sugarcane harvest was virtually complete during the first week with production moved into its summer vegetative state. Corn, cotton, peanuts, and soybean plantings were complete or nearly complete in the Panhandle counties the second week. Wet conditions prevented hay harvest in Orange and Seminole counties. Ideal weather conditions were reported in southern portions of the state. Corn silage harvest began in Columbia County the final week. Bahia seed harvest was noted in Gilchrist County the final week.In July, field crops benefited from the warm and dry temperatures. Corn was harvested in Lafayette and Levy counties during the second week. Miami-Dade County sugarcane fields were four feet high and in need of rain the second week. Hay harvest activities continued in many areas during the third week. Sugarcane was reported growing well in Palm Beach County without problems. Corn harvest began in Flagler and Jackson counties. Some peanuts in Levy County may require harvesting early due to drought-like conditions. Sorghum planting in Gilchrist County was reported. In August, dry conditions plagued Florida’s cotton/peanut belt and extcorn shelling began the first week in Escambia County. Hay continued to be cut in many counties. Armyworms and loopers were spotted in Pasco County hay fields. Wet conditions prevented corn harvesting in Jackson and Okaloosa counties, and hay cutting in Jackson County. Some hay fields suffered from armyworm and bermuda grass stem maggot damage during the third week. Peanuts were nearly ready for harvest in Gilchrist and Levy counties. Cotton and soybean crops in Jackson and Walton counties appeared in good conditions. Peanut harvest in Lafayette County began during the third week and will begin soon in other counties. Corn harvest continued in Escambia and Suwannee counties and wrapped up in Washington County during the final week. Millet was planted in Gilchrist County. In September, Hurricane Hermine brought rainfall to almost all areas. Some sorghum fields were blown down and cotton bolls lost due to Hermine. Peanut harvest began in Lafayette County, but many fields were water saturated and at risk for disease and rotting if they do not dry out soon. Throw-out pumps removed excess water from sugarcane fields. Cotton harvest continued in Jackson and Walton counties. Corn harvest began in Walton County during the third week. Some peanut fields were too wet to dig. Armyworm infestation continued in Pasco County hay fields.In October, field conditions in Washington County were very dry, but still generally favorable for peanut harvest. In Jefferson and Walton counties however, the dry soil was a barrier to digging peanuts. Peanut harvest was delayed in Lafayette County due to Hurricane Hermine. Concerns about Hurricane Matthew halted sugar cane milling operations the second week, but resumed the third week. Peanut grade and yield issues were reported in Walton and Gilchrist counties. Jackson County reported dry conditions hampered peanut harvest which prevailed during the latter portion of the month. Cotton harvest continued in many localities.In November, dry conditions continued. Peanut harvest was nearly complete in Washington County. Dry weather halted hay harvest in Jackson County. Sugarcane harvest continued on schedule. Peanut harvest was nearly complete, but some areas remained too dry to dig during the second week. Lack of moisture prevented winter crops seeding. In December, rain fell in several Panhandle counties, which allowed for some winter forage plantings. Some areas still need additional rainfall during the third week. Some winter forages began germinating in Okaloosa County. Sugarcane harvest continued without delay throughout the month. The year ended with persistent dry conditions despite additional received rainfall.

2016 SEASON VEGETABLE HIGHLIGHTS
Many significant changes were made to the vegetable estimating program beginning in 2016. Based on these changes, vegetables now estimate both fresh and processing utilization. Estimates for 2014 and 2015 were not adjusted to meet new program definitions. Also, cantaloupe estimates for Florida were added for 2016. Since 2012, estimates are based on a calendar year basis.
ValueThe 2016 value of production for the published major berries, spring potatoes, vegetable crops, and watermelons totaled $1.72 billion, up 14 percent from the comparable 2015 value of $1.50 billion. The ranking from the highest to lowest value of the berry, spring potato, vegetables, and watermelon crops are: (1) strawberries, (2) tomatoes, (3) bell peppers, (4) sweet corn, (5) watermelons, (6) cucumbers, (7) snap beans, (8) spring potatoes, (9) blueberries, (10) cabbage, (11) squash, and (12) cantaloupe. The crops that increased in percentage and value were cucumbers (+144%), strawberries (+55%), cabbage (+46%), snap beans (+42%), watermelons (+40%), squash (+9%), and sweet corn (+3%). Crops that decreased in value and percentage included bell peppers (-5%), tomatoes (-16%), spring potatoes (-20%), and blueberries (-35%)
AcreageTThe harvested acreage for 2016 for the published major berries, potatoes, vegetable crops, and watermelons totaled 198,600 acres, down four percent from the 205,900 comparable acres harvested the previous year. Crops with increased acreage and percentages included cucumbers (105%), bell peppers (6%), and watermelons (6%). Crops with less acreage and percentage decreased included snap beans (-1%), squash (-2%), strawberries (-2%), cabbage (-4%), sweet corn (-7%), tomatoes (-13%), blueberries (-15%), and spring potatoes (-23%)
ProductionProduction in 2016 of the published major berries, potatoes, vegetable crops, and watermelons totaled 40.2 million hundredweight, down from the 41.8 comparable million hundredweight the prior calendar year. Crops with increased percentage and production were cucumbers (+128%), watermelons (+30%), snap beans (+21%), and squash (+11%). Commodities with percentage decreases and less production were cabbage (-1%), sweet corn (-3%), strawberries (-10%), bell peppers (-13%), spring potatoes (-21%), tomatoes (-23%) and blueberries (-42%).
Weather for the 2017 growing seasonIn January 2015, Bradford County strawberries were harvested the first week of the month. Potato fields were planted in Flagler and Putnam counties. Cabbage and leafy greens were planted and harvested. South Florida vegetable growers planted spring crops and harvested a wide variety of vegetables including a variety of specialty items. High winds associated with heavy rainfall battered
crops and caused lodging and damage to some vegetable fields in south Florida. Light volumes of vegetables came to market.
In February, squash and zucchini fields in Miami-Dade County bloomed in early February. Several days of heavy rains caused widespread flooding with many areas reporting flooding not seen since Hurricane Wilma and possibly even more. Heavy rains and cool weather in January impacted vegetable crops with yields and quality severely impacted resulting in little product market movement in south Florida. Potato planting activities continued in most areas as cabbage and leafy greens harvested were active in Flagler and Putnam counties. Some Dixie melon fields were planted in Dixie County. South Florida vegetable fields suffered from heavy rainfall the latter portion of the month which reduced volumes significantly in many instances along with increased disease pressure. Cool season vegetables were harvested in north Florida.
In March, spring potato planting finished in the Hastings area during the first week. Drier conditions reduced disease pressure in many areas. Watermelon planting activities continued in north Florida. Warm and dry conditions the third week favored vegetable crop growth in south Florida as market volume remained light. Wet weather conditions caused disease pressure on strawberries and small grains in the Florida Panhandle. Wind damage caused romaine planting losses in Palm Beach County.
In April, wet conditions presented challenges to strawberry disease prevention efforts in Okaloosa County. Potatoes in Flagler and Putnam counties generally appeared to be in good condition. Blueberry harvest was late in Charlotte County. Some growers reported significant amounts of maturing fruit blown off during storms the first week of April. Green beans and watermelon planting occurred in Dixie County and were complete in Walton County fields. Favorable weather conditions for harvest prevailed the third week although wet conditions in Okaloosa County presented some disease pressures in strawberry fields. Vegetable volume and quality increased during the third week as a variety of south Florida vegetables were delivered to market. Leafy greens and cabbage were harvested in north Florida. Blueberry, peach, and watermelon harvest was underway in Charlotte and Glades counties. In May, spring potato harvest began in the Hastings area. Drier weather in Okaloosa County helped producers get a handle on strawberry diseases. Vegetable harvest activities were winding down in south Florida the first full week of May. Potato harvest in north Florida continued, but heat caused some decay issues. Growers cleaned up and fallowed fields in many central and south Florida locations. Early melon harvest started in north Florida the final full week of May. Peach and blueberry harvesting was nearly complete in south Florida. Some Martin County vegetable fields were replanted because of previous weeks flooding the final week.

In June, rainfall and high heat limited vegetable growth in Broward County where insect pressure was reported. South Florida counties pumped water off fallow fields in order to begin fall crop land preparation. Lychee harvest began in Palm Beach County. Hot and dry weather required additional irrigation in many areas the second week of July. Late melons and vegetables were harvested in Jackson County as melon harvest finished in Levy County. Ground preparation for fall crops continued in south Florida despite high temperatures and widespread rain the third week of July. Mango season was complete in Miami-Dade County at the end of the July.
In July, land preparation the first week set favorable conditions for south Florida vegetable plantings during the second week. Tomatoes were planted in Manatee County. South Florida subtropical fruits and vegetables were delivered to market. Some cold weather crops like broccoli, cabbage, and collards were planted in Bradford County the final week. Flagler County cabbage plantings were delayed due to wet soil.
In August, heavy rains fell in Hendry County during the middle of the month forcing farmers to use throw out pumps to lower water tables in fields. Wet conditions delayed tomato planting in Manatee County fields. Irrigation applications were still required in southeast Florida due to continued dry conditions, but harvest of tropical vegetables continued. Heavy rains from Tropical Storm Erika caused localized flooding in some fields. Throw out pump use continued as needed.
In September, land preparation, laying plastic, and planting activities continued where conditions permitted. Disease issues in early plantings were spotted due to wet weather conditions. Sweet corn was planted in Orange County. Cabbage and leafy greens were planted in north Florida. Green beans were planted in Dixie County fields the final week. Green bean fields were harvested in Miami-Dade County.
In October, several counties along the Atlantic Coast, as well as in the southern and central portions reported flooding and damages to various fruit and vegetable crops. Wet conditions delayed leafy greens and cabbage plantings in north Florida due to Hurricane Matthew. Strawberries were planted in central Florida fields. Optimal growing and harvesting conditions prevailed during the third week in south Florida. Sweet corn harvest activities occurred in central Florida. Subtropical fruit and vegetables were delivered to market in south Florida.
In November, strawberry fields were planted in Hillsborough and Polk counties. Leafy greens and cabbage were planted in north Florida fields. Irrigation helped reduce crop stress from drought conditions experienced in many areas the final week. Cabbage and leafy greens planting activities continued in north Florida.
In December, Orange County pickling cucumbers, sweet corn, and cabbage fields were harvested. North Florida leafy greens, cabbage, and broccoli fields were planted and harvested in north Florida. Foggy mornings in several southern counties present some vegetable diseases pressures. Many crops were harvested for holiday market including avocado, bitter melon, boniato, eggplant, herbs, green beans, kale, malanga, peppers, squash, tomato, zucchini, and sweet corn. Spring watermelon fields were planted during the end of December.
DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONSPlanted 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 hundredweight. 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 on the next page gives the net weight used per container and the number of containers per hundredweight for Florida produce.
CONFIDENTIALITY OF COLLECTED DATAAll information collected from individual agricultural producers is held strictly confidential. Data provided by in-dividual producers or other agricultural firms are used only to compile and publish statistics at the county, State, and national levels. Statistics at the county and State level are not published if they will potentially disclose information about an individual or operation. In addition, all names and addresses obtained by this office are held confidential.

VegetablesMany significant changes were made to the vegetable estimating program beginning in 2016. Based on these changes, all States in the estimating program for a given vegetable crop now estimate both fresh and processing utilization, except for lettuce. For lettuce (head, leaf, and romaine) crops, only fresh utilization is estimated.
Estimates for 2014 and 2015 were not adjusted to meet new program definitions. This report was designed so that only data that are comparable across years are included together in any given table. Beginning in 2016, Total Production and Utilized Production are estimated for each crop. In 2014 and 2015 estimates were made for Production. These Production estimates represent the portion of the crop that was harvested and sold. This most closely represents Utilized Production so those estimates are now published as such to provide maximum comparability.
For selected crops (Lima Beans, Snap Beans, Carrots, Sweet Corn, Cucumbers, Green Peas, and Spinach), 2014 and 2015 U.S. processing estimates represent all 50 States. For 2016, U.S. processing estimates represent only the sum of the estimating States listed in the table.
Harvested Not Sold estimates were added to the estimating program beginning in 2016. By definition, this represents the difference between Total Production (the amount of the crop harvested from the field) and Utilized Production (the amount of the crop that was sold).

Acreage and Yield estimates for fresh and processing utilizations were discontinued beginning in 2016. The Canning and Freezing sub-breakouts for processing utilized production (selected crops), estimates for Fordhooks and Baby Lima varieties of Lima Beans, Pickle stock estimates, and processed vegetable area and production estimates by type of procurement (open market and contract) were discontinued beginning in 2016.
Vegetables Highlights
In 2016, the nation’s production for the 26 estimated vegetable and melon crops totaled 780 million cwt. Total utilized production for 2016 vegetable crops totaled 775 million cwt. Area harvested for vegetable crops was 2.57 million acres. The three largest crops, in terms of both utilized and total production, were tomatoes, sweet corn, and onions, which combined accounted for 56 percent of the total production.
The value of utilized production for 2016 vegetable crops was 13.4 billion dollars. In 2016, tomatoes, head lettuce, and onions claimed the highest values, accounting for 32 percent of the total value when combined.
For the 26 selected vegetables and melons estimated in 2016, California continued to be the leading State in terms of area harvested, utilized production, and value of production.

FLORIDA FORESTRY ECONOMIC HIGHLIGHTS
Economic OutputOf Florida’s 17.3 million acres of forest land, 15.4 million acres of timberlands supported economic activities which generated $16.09 billion in total output impacts in 2014.
Employment2014 employment impacts were 77,621 full and part-time jobs, which was 3,044 fewer jobs than in 2013. The 2014 employment in forestry and forest products industry represented a 20% increase over 2008 employment at the lowest point of the Great Recession.
Value AddedAt $6.59 billion, value added impacts were 8% lower in 2014 than in 2013 (Fig. 1), but still 36% higher than in 2008 at the lowest point of the recent recession.
CompensationIn 2014, the pulp and paper products industry supported 72% of income paid to the labor force employed in forestry and related industries. At 14%, secondary wood products sector was the next largest in terms of income paid out to workers. Forest management and logging generated 9% of income, while lumber, veneer and panels manufacturing paid the remaining 5% of wages and benefits in forestry-related occupations in 2014 (Fig. 2). In dollar terms, forestry, wood and paper products industries had income impact of $3.98 billion in 2014, which was almost 6% less than in 2013, but still nearly 23% more than in 2008 at the bottom of the recent recession.
Figure 1. Economic impacts of forestry, wood and paper product manufacturing industries in Florida between 2004 and 2014.
This was 3% less than 2013 output impacts, but still 13% more than in 2008 at the lowest point in the recent economic recession (Fig. 1).

Fiscal ImpactsIn 2014, indirect business tax impacts of forestry and forest products industries in Florida were $456 million. Of that amount, $368 million was generated by pulp and paper sector, $32 million by forest tract management and logging activities, $43 million by secondary products manufacturing, and $13 million by lumber, veneer and panel manufacturing industries.
Total other property income impacts, such as interests, rents, royalties and dividends, were $2.15 billion in 2014. The largest share again was generated by pulp and paper manufacturing at $1.658 billion. Forest tract management and logging activities generated $171 million, the secondary forest products sector $218 million, while lumber, veneer and panels manufacturing generated $102 million.
Figure 3. Export value of Florida’s forest products to out-of-state destinations between 2003 and 2013.
Forest OwnershipIn 2014, Florida timberland ownership, which supports forest products industry was 71% non-industrial private, 16% state, 11% federal, and 2% local government (Fig. 4). That translates into 11.0 million acres in private ownerships, 2.4 million acres in state, 1.7 million acres in federal, and 0.4 million acres in local government ownerships.
Export ValueAt $5.98 billion in 2014, and similarly to other economic indicators, the export value of Florida’s forest products to out-of-state destinations decreased 4% since 2013 (Fig. 3).
However, even this smaller value for 2014 was 48% higher than exports in 2008 at the lowest point in the Great Recession of 2007-09.

Forest DistributionAlthough forests cover about 50% of the state’s land area, Florida’s forest lands are located mostly north of Orlando (Fig. 5). In the northern half of the state most counties are at least 50% forested, whereas the peninsular Florida south of Marion County is less than 50% forested. Liberty County in northwest Florida is the most forested with forest lands covering more than 90% of its area. On the other hand, four counties in the southeast tip of Florida have less than 10% of their area covered in forests (Fig. 5).

Local ImportanceIn 2015, there were 78 primary wood using mills in Florida (Table 1). The local economic importance of forests depends on a number of factors including proximity to markets. The primary wood using mills in Florida are located mostly in the northern part of the state (Fig. 6) in proximity to timberland resources. Depending on type
Figure 5. Florida forest lands as percentage of county surface area2014
and size, which dictates raw material needs, they have the biggest economic impact in a zone of 50 to 75 mile radius. This corresponds to an area from which they can purchase wood in the most economical way, providing income to local timberland owners.

Annual Wood HarvestBetween years 2010 and 2014, Florida on average harvested 464.8 million cubic feet of wood annually. Of that amount approximately 90% was harvested from private and 10% from publicly owned timberlands (Table 2). Of all harvested wood 65% was either slash pine

There are also links to our Customer Service unit, a Kids Page, and all other federal statistics outside the National Agricultural Statistics Service.

The Florida web site offers much of the same information as the national homepage but in a format designed for Florida customers. The reports contain the same statistics but offer more details about agriculture in Florida. Links are also available to other sites such as the Florida Department of Agriculture, University of Florida and other NASS field offices.
