2003 Vegetable Survey Introduction
In 1990, a biennial survey of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service (CES) Agents was
implemented. This survey was intended to provide much needed data on vegetable
acreage and yields by cultural practice, season, and irrigation method. The survey was
designed to be a comprehensive instrument for gathering data on the various vegetable
crops grown in Georgia. The collected data is used extensively by the CES as well as
by agencies and companies that support the vegetable industry in Georgia.
Users of this report will find that a variety of sources for vegetable acreage, yield, and
value are available. In addition to this Farm Gate Survey Vegetable Report from the
Center for Agribusiness and Economic Development, there is GA Agricultural Facts
published by the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service (GASS), and Census of
Agriculture, produced by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
Tables 1, 2A and 2B -- GA Ag Statistics Service (GASS) vegetable estimates for 2002
and 2003 are compared to Cooperative Extension Service (CES) results. CES and
GASS figures rarely mirror each other. Reasons for differences abound and are mostly
related to data collection methods. CES estimates rely only on reports from GA CES
County Agents. Estimated yields for the year are available to the agents if they are
unaware of local growing conditions. CES estimates do not distinguish between planted
and harvested acres, though agents are encouraged to report harvested acres. CES
agents reported about 9% more total acreage than GASS for ten selected crops in 2003,
and CES estimates ranged from 71% to 221% of GASS estimates. The comparisons
provided here are not meant to question or to justify the accuracy of either
source, though users of the data should be aware of these differences.
Table 3 -- CES agents reported a total of 189,208 acres of vegetables grown in Georgia
during 2003, ranging from broccoli to zucchini. In fact, more than 45 different vegetables
were reported. Approximately 95% of these are grown for the fresh market with 5%
going to processing. From 2002 to 2003, CES agents reported an overall decrease of
2% in vegetable acreage. Fastest growth rates in acreage were reported for English
Peas and Spinach, whereas crops with greatest rates of decline in acreage included
broccoli, lettuce, carrots and pole beans.
Tables 4A and 4B -- Vegetable acreage and value ranks show that Watermelons
continue to be 1st in vegetable acreage with Sweet Corn and Snap Beans following at 2nd
and 3rd. Though Watermelons have more acreage, Tomatoes and Onions ranked 1st
and 2nd in value. Please note again that these estimates may not correspond with
GASS reports. Prices used for CES estimates do not account for differences in
quality and quantity. This may explain some of the value differences as well as
the reasons outlined earlier.
Tables 5 through 8 -- Acreage and yields are defined by market, cultural practice and
irrigation practice. Spring, bareground, irrigated vegetables continue to constitute close
to half of the total vegetable acres in Georgia.
The 2003 Farm Gate Value Survey, from which this vegetable data is obtained, relies on
CES agents’ reports and attempts to measure value of production at the farm gate for a
wide range of commodities in Georgia, including row crops, vegetables, fruits, nuts,
poultry, forestry, livestock, ornamental horticulture and other income. To find out more,
