U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service Statistical Bulletin 1000 Statistical Highlights of U.S. Agriculture for 2002 and 2003 June 2003 _______________________________________________________________________________ Dear Reader: Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducts surveys and prepares hundreds of reports covering U.S. agriculture. Included are data on production and supplies of food and fiber, prices paid and received by farmers, farm labor and wages, farm income and finances, chemical use, and many other aspects of the industry. The abundance of information produced has earned NASS the title "the fact finders of agriculture." This edition of Statistical Highlights of United States Agriculture, 2002/2003 brings together the most important economic and statistical information on agriculture in a single summary report. More detail and additional statistics may be found on the NASS website at www.usda.gov/nass. The statistical data contained in this report were provided by NASS, the Economic Research Service, and the World Agricultural Outlook Board. We would like to thank all the contributors to this publication and especially recognize the thousands of farmers, ranchers, and businesses who voluntarily report the information on which most of these statistics are based. We would also like to invite those who use this publication to make suggestions to improve it. Your comments on this report or other NASS issues can be sent directly to me at NASS, USDA, Room 4117 South Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20250-2000 or by e-mail to ron_bosecker@nass.usda.gov.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- National Agricultural Statistics Service The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) administers the United States Department of Agriculture's program for collecting and publishing timely national, State,and county level agricultural statistics. In 1862, the first Commissioner of the newly formed Department of Agriculture, Isaac Newton, established a goal to "collect, arrange, and publish statistical and other useful agricultural information." A year later, in July 1863, the Department's Division of Statistics issued the Nation's first official Crop Production report. The structure of farming, ranching, and the agricultural industry has changed dramatically during the succeeding 139 years. The need for accurate, timely, and objective statistical information about the Nation's agriculture has become even more important as the country has moved from subsistence agriculture to a highly industrialized business that produces food and fiber for the world market. The National Agricultural Statistics Service now publishes over 400 reports a year with official estimates covering over 120 crops and 45 livestock items. Each report is issued according to a published annual calendar of release dates. Strict security procedures ensure that no one gains premature access to the information. In addition, NASS has a strong tradition of cooperation with other federal agencies, state departments of agriculture, and universities to supplement the federal statistics program. The state-federal cooperative relationship, which began over 80 years ago, eliminates duplication and provides state input while maintaining consistency in surveys conducted across the U.S. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data Sources and Estimation Procedures The official estimates prepared by NASS are based on data obtained from farm and ranch operators, agribusinesses such as grain elevators, shippers, processors, and commercial storage firms. Scientifically designed sampling methods are used to determine the operations to be included in each survey. Operators are interviewed by professionally trained interviewers, either in person or by telephone. In some instances operators will receive a questionnaire by mail with a postage-paid return envelope. Anyone not returning the form is usually telephoned. Survey response is voluntary. Very stringent laws and procedures protect the confidentiality of each operator's response. NASS maintains extensive lists of farm and ranch operations along with identifiers that indicate size and type of operation. NASS also maintains complete lists of grain storage facilities, commercial operations such as feedlots, cold storage facilities, and manufactured dairy processors. Nearly every report issued by NASS is based on survey sample data collected from farms or other agribusinesses selected from these lists. NASS also maintains an area sampling frame. The area frame, which is essentially the entire land mass of the United States, ensures complete coverage of the U.S. farm population. The Area Frame Survey provides accurate estimates of crop acres and is the primary basis for the June Acreage report. The area frame is also used to measure the incompleteness of the list frame. Sampling from the area frame is a multi-step process. First, all land in each state is classified into land use categories by the intensity of cultivation using a variety of map products and satellite imagery. These land use classifications range from intensively cultivated land to marginally cultivated grazing land to urban areas. The land in each use category is then divided into segments ranging from about 1 square mile in cultivated areas to 0.1 square mile in urban areas. This allows intensively cultivated land segments to be selected with a greater frequency than those less intensively cultivated. Nearly 12,000 area segments are selected nationwide for the large scale survey conducted each June. Using maps and aerial photos that show the exact site and boundaries of each sample segment, interviewers locate and interview every operator with land inside the segment boundaries. They obtain information on the crops planted in each field, livestock inventory, and quantities of grain in storage. A considerable amount of data are also available from other organizations, both private and public. The administrative data are used to evaluate the accuracy of production estimates and in some cases to determine the final estimates. The information becomes available during the marketing year but often after the preliminary production estimates are determined. Some examples of administrative data follow. Utilization data. Information about imports, exports, soybean crush, and industrial use are available from the Bureau of the Census. These data are used in a balance sheet that starts with carryover stocks from the previous year and the current production estimate, which measures total supply. At the end of the marketing year, when subtracting utilization data from the supplies at the beginning of the crop year, the result should correspond closely with the ending stocks. If there is a large unexplained difference between survey stocks and indicated stocks from the balance sheet, then the previous year acreage, yield, and production survey and stocks data are reviewed to determine if revisions should be made. Slaughter statistics. NASS receives data through the Food Safety and Inspection Service about the number of animals inspected at slaughter operations. These data are used to monitor the accuracy of the livestock production statistics. Price statistics. Extensive use is made of USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service market news data to prepare the monthly average prices received from the sales of livestock species. Also, Bureau of Labor price indices are used to measure the relative changes in prices paid for production input items. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary NASS is a world leader in the use of statistical methodology to produce statistics about agriculture. NASS statisticians provide consultative services to a large number of developing countries around the world, helping them develop statistical information about their agriculture. NASS has also been a leader in making information available through electronic media. Globalization of markets is expanding as buyers and sellers have nearly instant access to market information from around the world. The 1997 U.S. Census of Agriculture is now available. February 1, 1999, NASS released national, state, and county data from the 1997 Census of Agriculture. The census of agriculture is conducted every 5 years and is the most complete accounting of U.S. agriculture and the only source of uniform, comprehensive data for every county in the nation. Data for the 2002 Census of Agriculture is being collected and processed during 2003 to be released in 2004. All information is currently available on the Internet at www.usda.gov/nass/. To order a printed copy or a CD-ROM, call our subscription sales desk at 800-999-6779. For more detail on the census of agriculture information call 800-727-9540. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Electronic Dissemination of Data from NASS NASS National and State reports, data, agricultural graphics, and Agency information are available on the Internet. From the NASS Homepage there are nine areas that can be accessed for more information. "Today's Reports" is one of the areas and is updated every day showing the reports released for that day. Reports are generally available within 5 minutes after release time. The NASS Homepage address is: http:/www.usda.gov/nass/ Electronic Subscriptions All of the NASS National reports are also available via an automated mailing list. You may subscribe to as many reports as you wish and they will be sent directly to your e-mail address within 3 hours of release, all at no charge.

Additional information is also available by selecting Publications from the NASS Homepage. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Farm Economics and Demographics Summary Numbers of Farms Increase There were less than 2.16 million U.S. farms in 2002, up 0.1 percent from 2001. The average farm size decreased to 436 acres. Land in farms increased slightly to 941.5 million acres. Farms with annual sales of over $100,000 accounted for 16.1 percent of all farms and for 57.7 percent of land in farms, averaging 1,559 acres. Average Farm Real Estate Values Continue Upward The U.S. farm real estate value, including all land and buildings, averaged $1,210 per acre as of January 1, 2002, up 5.2 percent from the previous year. All states except Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington showed gains from last year. The $60 per acre increase in farm real estate values continued a climb that began in 1987. The overall increase followed cropland and pasture values, which rose by 4.4 and 5.0 percent, respectively, during 2001. Cropland values had been increasing by more than 5 percent a year, so this represents a slower rate of increase than previous years, likely due to low commodity prices and drought in western States. Cash Receipts Up 4.7 Percent U.S. cash receipts from farm marketings totaled 203 billion in 2001, up 4.7 percent from $194 billion in 2000. Crop cash receipts, at $96.4 billion, were up 2.4 percent while livestock receipts, at $106 billion, were up 6.9 percent. California led in cash receipts at $25.8 billion, followed by Texas at $13.8 billion, Iowa at $11.6 billion, and Nebraska at $9.5 billion. Index for Prices Received Down The 2002 annual average index of prices received by farmers for all farm products, based on 1990-92=100, was 99, down 2.9 percent from the 2001 annual average of 102. The annual average all crop prices index, at 106, was up 7.1 percent due to higher prices for most crops except cotton. The livestock and products index, at 91, was down 14 percent from 2001 with price declines for most items. Prices Paid Index Unchanged but Grazing Fees, Overall Expenditures, and Wage Rates Up Overall, the annual average prices paid by farmers index (PPITW) was 124 (1990-92=100) in 2002, unchanged from 2001 . The annual average PPITW was 126 for the crop sector and 121 for the livestock sector, both unchanged from 2001. In 2002, ranchers in the 17 Western States paid monthly fees for grazing livestock on private non-irrigated grazing lands averaging $12.30 per animal unit month, up 3.4 percent from 2001. Overall farm production expenditures rose 3.9 percent in 2001. The U.S. annual average all hired wage rate rose to $8.80 per hour in 2002, up from $8.45 in 2001.

The average U.S. grain yield is estimated at 130.0 bushels per acre, down 8.2 bushels from 2001. Planted area totaled 79.1 million acres, 4 percent above last year. Area harvested for grain, at 69.3 million acres, is up 1 percent from 2001. Drier than normal weather in the spring provided good planting conditions for farmers in the northern and western Corn Belt, central Great Plains, Southeast, and Atlantic Coastal Plains. However, eastern Corn Belt farmers experienced frequent planting delays due to persistent precipitation, especially in Indiana and Ohio. High temperatures and moisture shortages in July stressed the corn crop during the critical pollination stage in many areas of the U.S. which eventually caused ears not to fill at all or to develop at varying degrees. However, farmers in Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin did receive timely rainfall during this period to allow for good pollination. Fields progressed to the dough and dent stages ahead of normal in most areas and well ahead of normal in Iowa and Nebraska. However, crop development lagged slightly behind normal in Indiana and Ohio. Above normal temperatures and dry weather during the first half of October quickly ripened late-maturing fields around the Great Lakes and eastern Corn Belt which allowed producers to make good harvest progress. Harvest progress was slowed in the western Corn Belt and Great Plains due to heavy rainfall at the beginning of October. However, persistent dry weather allowed harvest to progress well ahead of normal in Indiana and Ohio. Harvest in November finished slightly behind the average pace. 2002 Soybean Production Lower Soybean production in 2002 totaled 2.73 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast but 6 percent below 2001. The average yield per acre in 2002 is estimated at 37.8 bushels per acre, 0.3 bushel above the November 1 forecast but 1.8 bushels below the 2001 yield. Planted area for the U.S., at 73.8 million acres, is down slightly from 2001. Farmers harvested 72.2 million acres, down 1 percent from 2001. Planting of the 2002 soybean crop was delayed during May, but by the end of June was ahead of normal and 2001. Persistent wet weather in early May stalled planting progress before mid-month in the southern, central, and eastern Corn Belt. The lower Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic Coast States completed planting with the fewest weather disruptions. States in the western Corn Belt, central Great Plains, Ohio Valley, and Atlantic Coast experienced very dry conditions during July. By the end of August, crop conditions had deteriorated in the Ohio Valley and eastern Corn Belt as hot, dry weather persisted. Conditions around the middle and upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes, and western Corn Belt were more favorable during August as milder temperatures and soaking rains promoted vegetative growth and aided reproductive development. Wet conditions were seen across the South and East during September as the area was frequented by tropical storms. During October, crop maturity progressed at a rapid pace due to above normal temperatures. As of October 13, the percent of soybeans dropping leaves had reached 96 percent, matching the 5-year average. Harvest progressed slightly behind normal during October. Scattered precipitation briefly delayed harvest in the Corn Belt and heavy rains hindered harvest in the Delta States, Kentucky, and Tennessee during most of October. Harvest was nearing completion by November 17, as 94 percent had been harvested, 4 percentage points behind 2001 and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. 2002 All Wheat Production Lower All wheat production for 2002 is estimated at 1.62 billion bushels, down 17 percent from the 2001 level. This is the lowest production since 1972. Harvested area, at 45.8 million acres, is down 6 percent from a year earlier and is the smallest acreage since 1970. Yield is estimated at 35.3 bushels per acre, down 4.9 bushels from 2001. Winter wheat production is estimated at 1.14 billion bushels, the lowest level since 1970. This is down 16 percent from the 2001 level. Harvested acreage totaled 29.7 million, down 5 percent from a year earlier. This is the lowest harvested winter acreage since 1917. Yield in 2002 is estimated at 38.5 bushels per acre, 5.0 bushels below the final 2001 yield. Other spring wheat production is estimated at 394 million bushels, down 23 percent from 2001. Harvested area totaled 13.5 million acres, down 7 percent from a year earlier. Yield is estimated at 29.3 bushels per acre, 5.9 bushels below the previous season. Durum wheat production totaled 79.5 million bushels, down 5 percent from 2001. Harvested area totaled 2.70 million acres, down 3 percent from a year earlier. Yield is estimated at 29.4 bushels per acre, 0.6 bushel below 2001. Vegetable Program Changes For the 2002 crop year, many changes occurred to the National Vegetable Estimation Program. Ten fresh market commodities and two processing commodities were removed from the program. Additionally, States were removed from the program for certain commodities. When comparing 2000 and 2001 data to 2002 data, comparable States should be used as noted in the table footnotes. If you need assistance with these comparisons, please contact Biz Wallingsford at (202) 720-2157. For details on the 2002 program changes see the following website: http://www.usda.gov/nass/events/programchg/vegprogchngs.htm. 2002 Fresh Market Vegetable Production Estimated at 457 Million Hundredweight Fresh market vegetable and melon production for the 24 selected crops estimated in 2002 totaled 457 million hundredweight. Harvested area covered 1.93 million acres. Value of the 2002 crop was estimated at 9.28 billion dollars. The three largest crops in terms of production were head lettuce, onions, and watermelon, which combined to account for 38 percent of the total production. Head lettuce, tomatoes, and onions claimed the highest value, accounting for 36 percent of the total value when combined. For the 24 selected vegetables and melons estimated in 2002, California continued to be the leading fresh market State, accounting for 42 percent of the harvested area, 48 percent of production, and 47 percent of the value. 2001 Noncitrus Fruit Utilized Production Down 12 Percent, Value Down 1 Percent In 2001, the Nation's utilized production of the leading noncitrus fruit crops totaled 16.5 million tons, down 12 percent from 2000's production. Utilized production decreased from last year for all crops except cultivated blueberries, red raspberries, cherries, dates, nectarines, olives, papayas, pears, and plums. Value of utilized production for noncitrus fruit crops totaled 7.84 billion dollars, down 1 percent from 2000. The value of apples increased 14 percent and the value of peaches increased 1 percent. However, the value of grapes decreased 9 percent. The value of strawberries was virtually the same as in 2000. Utilized apple production for 2001 was estimated at 9.21 billion pounds, down 11 percent from the 2000 level. Production in the Central States increased as a result of favorable spring growing conditions but was more than offset by production decreases in the Western and Eastern States. Utilized grape production for 2001 totaled 6.52 million tons, down 15 percent from 2000's crop. The California crop, which accounts for 91 percent of the U.S. grape production, was down 16 percent from last year. Also for California, wine type production decreased 8 percent from 2000, raisin type production fell 27 percent, and table type production was 10 percent lower. Utilized production decreased from the previous year in almost all States with California leading the way. The only States increasing from 2000 were Washington and Oregon while Georgia was unchanged. Utilized peach production in 2001 was estimated at 2.34 billion pounds, down 7 percent from last year and 4 percent below 1999. The California crop, accounting for 72 percent of the U.S. peach production, was down 7 percent from 2000. For California, Clingstone peaches were down 11 percent and Freestone peaches were down 2 percent from 2000. Utilized pear production, at 968,300 tons, was up 2 percent from last year's crop. Washington, at 450,000 tons and the top producing State, was up 11 percent. California, at 267,000 tons and the second largest producer, was down 10 percent. Utilized pear production in Oregon, the third largest producing State, was up 5 percent from 2000. U.S. Nut Production Up 21 Percent, Value Up 2 Percent The 2001 U.S. nut production (in-shell basis) rose to 1.31 million tons, a 21 percent increase from a year earlier. The pistachio crop totaled 80,500 tons dropping 34 percent from the record high crop of 121,500 tons realized in 2000. Almond production totaled 693,300 tons, up 21 percent from last year. Hazelnut production for the 2001 crop totaled 48,000 tons, more than double the revised 2000 crop of 22,500 tons. Walnut production totaled 305,000 tons, a 28 percent increase from last year.

All inventory classes, except steers 500 pounds and over, posted declines from a year earlier. Heifers 500 pounds and over, were virtually unchanged from a year ago. Calves under 500 pounds posted the largest decline at 97 percent of the previous year. The 2001 calf crop of 38.3 million head was 1 percent below a year earlier. The lower inventory continues the downward trend in the cattle cycle. The reduced numbers of cows and calves indicate that this pattern should continue.

The average farm size decreased to 436 acres. Land in farms increased slightly to 941.5 million acres. Farms with annual sales of over $100,000 accounted for 16.1 percent of all farms and for 57.7 percent of land in farms, averaging 1,559 acres. Average Farm Real Estate Values Continue Upward The U.S. farm real estate value, including all land and buildings, averaged $1,210 per acre as of January 1, 2002, up 5.2 percent from the previous year. All states except Delaware, Nevada, New Mexico, and Washington showed gains from last year. The $60 per acre increase in farm real estate values continued a climb that began in 1987. The overall increase followed cropland and pasture values, which rose by 4.4 and 5.0 percent, respectively, during 2001. Cropland values had been increasing by more than 5 percent a year, so this represents a slower rate of increase than previous years, likely due to low commodity prices and drought in western States. Cash Receipts Up 4.7 Percent U.S. cash receipts from farm marketings totaled 203 billion in 2001, up 4.7 percent from $194 billion in 2000. Crop cash receipts, at $96.4 billion, were up 2.4 percent while livestock receipts, at $106 billion, were up 6.9 percent. California led in cash receipts at $25.8 billion, followed by Texas at $13.8 billion, Iowa at $11.6 billion, and Nebraska at $9.5 billion. Index for Prices Received Down The 2002 annual average index of prices received by farmers for all farm products, based on 1990-92=100, was 99, down 2.9 percent from the 2001 annual average of 102. The annual average all crop prices index, at 106, was up 7.1 percent due to higher prices for most crops except cotton. The livestock and products index, at 91, was down 14 percent from 2001 with price declines for most items. Prices Paid Index Unchanged but Grazing Fees, Overall Expenditures, and Wage Rates Up Overall, the annual average prices paid by farmers index (PPITW) was 124 (1990-92=100) in 2002, unchanged from 2001 . The annual average PPITW was 126 for the crop sector and 121 for the livestock sector, both unchanged from 2001.
