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). 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. Table 1 -- CES agents reported a total of 192,381 acres of vegetables grown in Georgia during 2004, 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 2003 to 2004, CES agents reported an overall increase of 2% in vegetable acreage (3,173 acres). Fastest growth rates in acreage were reported for Spinach (523% -- 68 acres) and Banana Peppers (101% -- 193 acres) whereas crops with greatest rates of decline in acreage included Irish Potatoes (91% -- 982 acres) and English Peas (83% -- 1,000 acres). Tables 2 and 3 -- 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, Onions and Tomatoes ranked 1st and 2nd respectively in value. Prices used for CES estimates do not account for differences in quality nor quantity. Tables 4 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 2004 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.
