U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service Statistical Bulletin 1007 Statistical Highlights of U.S. Agriculture for 2006 and 2007 October 2007 _______________________________________________________________________________ October 3, 2007 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 commodities, prices paid and received by farmers, farm labor employed and wages paid, farm income and expenses, fertilizer and pesticide usage, and many other aspects important to agriculture. The abundance of information produced has earned NASS the title "the Fact Finders of Agriculture." This edition of Statistical Highlights of United States Agriculture, 2006/2007, 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.nass.usda.gov. 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 contributors to this publication and especially recognize the thousands of farmers, ranchers, and businesses who voluntarily report the vital data necessary to produce reliable statistics. We would also like to invite those who use this publication to make suggestions to improve it. Your comments on this or other NASS reports can be sent directly to me at NASS, USDA, Room 5041A South Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20250-2001 or by e-mail to ron_bosecker@nass.usda.gov. I trust you will find the information useful and we welcome your input. Sincerely, R.

_______________________________________________________________________________ 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 144 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 500 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 90 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 or via the internet. 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 2002 U.S. Census of Agriculture is now available on the internet. 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. All information is currently available on the Internet at www.nass.usda.gov. To order a printed copy or a CD-ROM, call National Technical Information Service 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.nass.usda.gov/ 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.

The average farm size increased by 1 acre, to 446 acres. Land in farms decreased 780 thousand acres to 932.4 million acres. Farms with annual sales of over $100,000 accounted for 16.2 percent of all farms and for 59.9 percent of land in farms. Average Farm Real Estate Values Farm real estate values, a measurement of the value of all land and buildings on farms, averaged $2,160 per acre on January 1, 2007, up 14 percent from 2006. The $ 2,160 per acre is a record high and $260 more than a year earlier. Cropland and pasture values rose by 13 and 16 percent, respectively, since January 1, 2006. Cropland values averaged $2,700 per acre and pasture values averaged $1,160 per acre on January 1, 2007, compared with $2,390 and $1,000 per acre, respectively, a year earlier. The increase in farm real estate values continues to be driven by a combination of mostly nonagricultural factors, including relative low interest rates and strong demand for nonagricultural land uses. Demand for farm real estate as an investment continues to be a strong market influence. Cash Receipts U.S. cash receipts from farm marketings totaled $239.3 billion in 2006, down slightly from $240.7 billion in 2005. Crop cash receipts, at $120 billion, were up 3.5 percent while livestock receipts, at $119 billion, were down 4.4 percent. Prices Received and Prices Paid Index The 2006 annual average index of prices received by farmers for all farm products, based on 1990-92=100, was 116, up 0.9 percent from the 2005 annual average. The 2006 annual average index of all crop prices, at 119, was up 7.2 percent. The 2006 livestock and products price index, at 112, was down 6.7 percent from 2005. Overall, the 2006 index of annual average prices paid by farmers (PPITW) was 148 (1990-92=100), up 4.2 percent from 2005. The annual average PPITW was 153 for the crop sector and 144 for the livestock sector. Both increased from 2005. Grazing Fees In 2006, ranchers in the 17 Western States paid monthly fees for grazing livestock on private non-irrigated grazing lands averaging $13.80 per animal unit month, up 4.5 percent from 2005. Farm Production Expenditures and Wage Rates Farm production expenditures increased 5.4 percent in 2006. The U.S. annual average wage rate for all hired workers rose to $9.87 per hour in 2006, up from $9.51 in 2005.

The average U.S. grain yield was 149.1 bushels per acre, 1.1 bushels above 2005. This was the second highest yield on record, behind 2004, and the third largest production on record. Planted area totaled 78.3 million acres, down 4 percent from 2005 as some growers switched to less input intensive crops due to high fertilizer and fuel costs. Area harvested for grain, at 70.6 million acres, was down 6 percent from 2005. Corn planting began slowly in the Corn Belt and northern Great Plains as moderate precipitation hampered progress. Planting progress accelerated rapidly during April despite periods of heavy rainfall, as warm temperatures helped fields dry quickly. Mostly warm, dry conditions across the western Corn Belt and Great Plains during May and June favored planting and crop development, but caused crop conditions to decline. Meanwhile, persistent rainfall and below normal temperatures across the eastern Corn Belt and Ohio Valley during May hindered planting progress and limited crop emergence. However, warmer temperatures in these areas during June helped spur crop development. By May 28, planting was 97 percent complete compared with the average of 93 percent. Crop emergence was 98 percent on June 11, two points ahead of the normal pace. Above-normal temperatures prevailed nearly nationwide during the last three weeks in July. In the western Corn Belt and Great Plains, mostly dry conditions combined with the well-above-normal temperatures to deplete soil moisture and worsen crop conditions. Moderate to heavy precipitation in August helped improve soil moisture levels and crop conditions. Meanwhile, frequent showers in the eastern Corn Belt and Ohio Valley during July held soil moisture at adequate levels and kept crop conditions better than a year ago. The above-normal temperatures promoted rapid crop development throughout the Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains. Corn silking began near the normal pace, but progressed rapidly throughout the Corn Belt. By August 6, ninety-seven percent of the acreage was at or beyond the silking stage, 5 percentage points ahead of normal. Ninety-seven percent of the acreage was at or beyond the dough stage on September 3 compared with 92 percent for the average. The crop continued to mature ahead of the normal pace during September despite below normal temperatures across much of the Corn Belt, Great Plains, and Ohio Valley. By October 8, ninety-five percent of the crop was rated mature or beyond, 4 percentage points ahead of normal. Despite crop development and maturation progressing ahead of normal, harvest progress was behind normal across most of the Corn Belt during October, particularly the eastern-most areas of the region, due to wet field conditions. Though dry conditions prevailed in the western Corn Belt and Great Plains in October, growers there focused on harvesting soybeans. Harvest gained momentum in the eastern Corn Belt during November, despite persistent precipitation. In the Great Plains and western Corn Belt, corn harvest progressed rapidly under mostly dry conditions. By November 27, growers had harvested 97 percent of their acreage, 1 point behind normal. 2006 Soybean Production Up 4 Percent to Record High Production in 2006 totaled 3.19 billion bushels, up 4 percent from 2005 and the largest U.S. soybean crop in history. The average yield per acre is estimated at 42.7 bushels, 0.3 bushel below last year's record high yield. Planted area for the U.S., at a record high 75.5 million acres, is up 5 percent from 2005. Soybean growers harvested a record high 74.6 million acres, also up 5 percent from last year. Planting of the 2006 soybean crop started off extremely well for most of the major growing areas, as most States were at or ahead of the normal pace by the end of April. In early May, spring rains caused soybean planting to fall behind the normal pace across the Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains. However, planting progressed rapidly through the rest of the month and was ahead of normal by the end of May for all States except Indiana and North Carolina, where fields had excess moisture. The crop began emerging slightly behind normal in mid-May, but advanced rapidly during the remainder of the month to be ahead of the 5-year average by the end of the month. The soybean crop progressed well through June and July, with plant emergence and blooming ahead of normal in nearly all States as hot, dry conditions prevailed across the Corn Belt and Great Plains. By the end of July, pod-setting was at or ahead of normal in all States except Illinois and Indiana. However, the hot weather during July had a negative impact on the condition of the soybean crop. Conditions did improve during the month of August due to above-normal precipitation in the Great Plains and near-normal precipitation across the Corn Belt. However, drought conditions persisted in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. Crop conditions continued to improve during September as temperatures were below normal nearly nationwide. Eighty-seven percent of the soybeans were dropping leaves by October 1, four points behind last year but 3 points ahead of the 5-year average. However, harvest lagged behind normal as heavy rainfall during September limited fieldwork in the Ohio River Valley and middle Atlantic Coast States. Precipitation was lighter across the Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains, but it was enough to slow crop harvest during September. As of October 1, only 19 percent of the crop was harvested, 14 points behind last year and 7 points behind the 5-year average. Harvest lagged a week or more behind normal in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and South Dakota. Soybean harvest progressed rapidly during the first half of October as dry conditions in the Great Plains and western Corn Belt were beneficial to fieldwork. However, harvest was slowed in the latter part of October as rainfall in the eastern Corn Belt continued to hinder fieldwork. By October 29, eighty-three percent of the crop was harvested, 8 percentage points behind last year and 2 points behind the 5-year average. By November 19, conditions had allowed harvest to progress to 96 percent complete. 2006 All Wheat Production Down 14 Percent All Wheat: Production totaled 1.81 billion bushels in 2006, 14 percent below 2005. Grain area is 46.8 million acres, down 7 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 38.7 bushels per acre, down 3.3 bushels from last year. The level of production and change from last year by type are: winter wheat, 1.30 billion bushels, down 13 percent; other spring wheat, 460 million bushels, down 9 percent; Durum wheat, 53.5 million bushels, down 47 percent. Winter Wheat: The 2006 winter wheat production is estimated at 1.30 billion bushels down 13 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 41.7 bushels per acre, down 2.7 bushels from last year's final yield. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 31.1 million acres, down 8 percent from the previous year. Hard Red Winter harvested acreage is down about 13 percent from the previous year while Soft Red Winter harvested acreage is up about 20 percent. Hard Red Winter (HRW) harvested acreage is down significantly from last year mostly due to drought conditions in the Great Plains States that persisted throughout much of the growing season. These conditions caused the crop's condition ratings to decline as it matured. Harvested acreage is down in all States in the region except Arizona. In Texas, wheat production is the lowest since 1971, while acres harvested for grain are the lowest since 1925. Oklahoma's production is the lowest since 1971 and acres harvested for grain are the lowest since 1955. Hot and dry weather during the summer months across much of the growing region accelerated the growth and maturation of the crop but decreased it's yield potential. Harvest of the crop started slightly ahead of normal and finished well ahead of the normal pace due to these weather conditions. Yields are down from the previous year in all HRW States except Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Arizona. Record high yields are reported in Minnesota and Iowa due to ideal weather conditions during growth and development of the crop. Overall, HRW production totals 682 million bushels, down 27 percent from last year. Soft Red Winter (SRW) harvested acreage is up from last year due to ideal conditions during the fall that resulted in dramatically increased planted acreage from last year, when excessively wet conditions prevented many acres from being seeded. Harvested area is at or above last year's level in all States in the growing region except for a band of States on the Atlantic Coast extending from Georgia to New Jersey. In Wisconsin, harvested acreage is at a record high level. The crop's yield potential was good throughout the growing season despite dry conditions across much of the growing area during the early spring months. This was due to ideal growing conditions during the late spring and summer months. Yields are at or above last year's level in all States in the growing region except Florida and Indiana. Record high yields are set in the Delta States, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Overall, SRW production is 390 million bushels, up 26 percent from last year. White Winter production is 226 million bushels, down 13 percent from last year. Yields in the Pacific Northwest States (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) are at or below last year's level. In Idaho, yields are down from last year due to a lack of timely rains during the growing season. Crop development and harvest progress in Washington and Oregon were accelerated due to hot and dry weather during June and July. Yields in these States are down from last year mostly due to these weather conditions. Other Spring Wheat: Production for 2006 is estimated at 460 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2006 Summary but down 9 percent from last year. Harvested area is 13.9 million acres, up 2 percent from 2005. The U.S. yield is 33.2 bushels per acre, down 3.9 bushels from last year. Spring wheat planting in the six major producing States started off behind normal mostly due to excessive moisture during April. However, planting had progressed ahead of normal by mid-May due to warm and dry weather across much of the growing area. The crop's development and maturation was accelerated by hot and dry weather during the months of June and July. This weather caused the crop condition ratings to decline but pushed maturation and harvest progress ahead of the normal pace in all States in the growing area except Washington and Oregon. Yields were also reduced by this hot and dry weather. Yields are down from the previous year in all States except Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and Idaho. Montana, South Dakota, and Utah yields are down at least 10 bushels per acre from the previous year. Durum Wheat: Production for 2006 totals 53.5 million bushels down 47 percent from the previous year. Grain area harvested is 1.82 million acres, down 33 percent from the previous year. This is the lowest harvested area since 1961 and the lowest production since 1988. The U.S. yield is estimated at 29.5 bushels, down 7.7 bushels from 2005. In the northern Great Plains, hot and dry weather during the months of June and July accelerated crop development but reduced the yield from last year. Yields are at or below last year's level in all States except Idaho and California. 2006 Fresh Market Vegetable Production Down 1 Percent from 2005 Fresh market vegetable and melon production for the 24 selected crops estimated in 2006 totaled 466 million hundredweight, down 1 percent from last year's comparable States. Harvested area covered 1.91 million acres, down less than 1 percent from comparable States in 2005. Value of the 2006 crop is estimated at 10.2 billion dollars, up 3 percent from comparable States a year ago. The three largest crops, in terms of production, are onions, head lettuce, and watermelons, which combined to account for 37 percent of the total production. Tomatoes, head lettuce, and onions claim the highest values, accounting for 34 percent of the total value when combined. For the 24 selected vegetables and melons estimated in 2006, California continues to be the leading fresh market State, accounting for 44 percent of the harvested area, 48 percent of production, and 51 percent of the value. 2006 Processing Production of 8 Selected Vegetables Up 2 Percent from 2005 Processing production of 8 selected vegetables estimated in 2006 totaled 16.0 million tons, up 2 percent from last year's comparable States. Area harvested is estimated at 1.25 million acres, down 2 percent from comparable States a year ago. Processing crop value is estimated at 1.32 billion dollars, 5 percent above comparable States in 2005. The three largest crops, in terms of production, are tomatoes, sweet corn, and snap beans, which combine to account for 91 percent of the 8 processing crops estimated in 2006. The three most valuable of the 8 processed vegetables estimated in 2006 are tomatoes, sweet corn, and cucumbers for pickles, accounting for 78 percent of the total value when combined. For the 8 processed vegetables estimated in 2006, California leads the nation with 25 percent of the harvested acreage, 65 percent of the production, and 52 percent of the value. 2006 Noncitrus Fruit Utilized Production Down 8 Percent, Value Up 7 Percent In 2006, the Nation's utilized production of the leading noncitrus fruit crops totaled 16.9 million tons, down 8 percent from the 2005 utilized production. Utilized production increased from 2005 for prunes and plums (ID, MI, OR, and WA), California prunes, Maine wild blueberries, sweet cherries, cultivated blueberries, boysenberries, California all raspberries, dates, cranberries, strawberries, apples, and pears. The value of utilized production for noncitrus fruit crops totaled 10.5 billion dollars, up 7 percent from 2005. The value of utilized production for California prunes increased 85 percent, prunes and plums (ID, MI, OR, and WA) increased 60 percent, Maine wild blueberries are up 52 percent, cultivated blueberries increased 45 percent, apples are up 32 percent, and California all raspberries increased 24 percent. However, the utilized value of production for olives decreased 77 percent, loganberries are down 47 percent, red raspberries decreased 44 percent, avocados decreased 41 percent, apricots decreased 26 percent, and tart cherries are down 16 percent. Utilized apple production for 2006 is estimated at 9.84 billion pounds, up 2 percent from 2005. Washington's utilized production, at 5.65 billion pounds, is down 1 percent from 2005. Utilized production in Michigan and New York increased 9 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Frost during bloom in Washington was a problem for some growers and protective measures were implemented in many areas. Hail, heavy rains, and high winds during early July caused major damage to the apple crop in north central Washington. In New York, abundant rainfall across the State increased disease pressure and severe weather during the fall caused significant losses to some orchards. These adverse weather conditions resulted in higher than normal unharvested production. In Michigan, freezing temperatures in the northwest during April and cold temperatures in the western part of the State during pollination greatly reduced fruit set. However, plentiful rain in August and September aided fruit sizing. Utilized grape production for 2006 totaled 6.41 million tons, down 18 percent from the 2005 crop. The California crop, which accounts for 90 percent of the 2006 U.S. utilized grape production, is down 17 percent from the previous year. Also for California, wine type production decreased 17 percent, while table type and raisin type production fell 16 percent and 19 percent from 2005, respectively. Utilized production decreased from 2005 in all grape estimating States except Arkansas, Missouri, North Carolina, Oregon, and Virginia. Spring freezes in the Midwest significantly lowered utilized production in the region. Utilized peach production in 2006 is estimated at 987,080 tons, down 14 percent from the previous year and 20 percent below 2004. The California crop, accounting for 72 percent of the U.S. utilized peach production, is down 18 percent from 2005. For California, the Clingstone utilized production is down 26 percent and the Freestone utilized production is down 8 percent from 2005. Utilized pear production for 2006 is 831,120 tons, up 1 percent from the previous year. Washington, the top producing State, utilized 361,000 tons, down 13 percent from 2005. California, the second largest producer at 229,000 tons, is up 13 percent from the previous season. Utilized pear production in Oregon, the third largest producing State, is 215,000 tons, up 13 percent from 2005. U.S. Nut Production Up 9 Percent, Value Down 17 Percent U.S. tree nut production for crop year 2006 is estimated at 1.59 million tons (in-shell basis), 9 percent greater than a year earlier. The almond crop is 953,000 tons, up 23 percent from 2005. Walnut production in 2006, at 346,000 tons, is down 3 percent from the previous year. The pistachio crop is 119,000 tons, 16 percent smaller than 2005. Pecan production in 2006 totals 103,150 tons, a 26 percent drop from 2005. The hazelnut crop, at 43,000 tons, is 56 percent larger than the previous year. Macadamia production is 29,000 tons, up 7 percent. Value of U.S. utilized nut production in 2006 is estimated at 3.45 billion dollars, down 17 percent from the 2005 value. The almond crop is valued at 2.04 billion dollars, 19 percent less than 2005.

Agricultural chemical use data are released for selected major field crops, fruits, vegetables, and livestock and their facilities. Postharvest chemical use data are released for off-farm pesticide applications and pest management practices for selected crops, such as apples, oranges, potatoes, corn, wheat, rice, and peanuts. Pest management practices data provide information on practices farmers use to reduce their dependency on agricultural chemicals (such as practices which improve the effectiveness of pesticides or are an alternative to pesticides). Pest management practices are categorized into four areas: prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression. Pests include weeds, insects, and fungi. Following is a list of environmental products released during the past year: Agricultural Chemical Usage Postharvest Applications are released in March. For the March 2007 release, oats and potatoes were the targeted crops. Agricultural Chemical Usage 2006 Field Crops Summary was released May 2007. The agricultural chemical use data consists of on-farm usage of commercial fertilizers and pesticides as well as pest management practices for targeted crops in selected states. The targeted crops were: rice, organic soybeans, soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, and winter wheat. Agricultural Chemical Usage 2006 Vegetable Summary was released July 2007.
