College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences 2006 Georgia Farm Gate Vegetable Report Compiled by Susan R. Boatright and John C. McKissick from information reported by Georgia Cooperative Extension County Agents AR-07-02 www.caed.uga.edu 2006 Vegetable Report Introduction In 1990, a biennial survey of Georgia Cooperative Extension (CE) 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 Cooperative Extension 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 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). CE and GASS figures rarely mirror each other. Reasons for differences abound and are mostly related to data collection methods. CE estimates rely only on reports from Georgia CE County Agents. Estimated yields for the year are available to the agents if they are unaware of local growing conditions. CE estimates do not distinguish between planted and harvested acres, though agents are encouraged to report harvested acres. Table 1 -- CE agents reported a total of 170,279 acres of vegetables grown in Georgia during 2006, ranging from broccoli to zucchini with over 40 different vegetables reported. Approximately 95% of these are grown for the fresh market with 5% going to processing. From 2005 to 2006, CE agents reported an overall decrease of 4% in vegetable acreage (-7,754 acres). The greatest increases in acreage were reported for Irish Potatoes (1,015 acres) and Bell Peppers (794 acres), whereas crops with greatest acreage losses included Sweet Corn (4,853), Cucumbers (2,135 acres), and Cabbage (1,395 acres). Tables 2 and 3 -- Vegetable acreage and value ranks show that Watermelons surpassed Snap Beans to be 1st in vegetable acreage and Sweet Corn followed at 3rd. Though Watermelons had more acreage, Onions and Watermelons ranked 1st and 2nd respectively in value. 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. Tables 9 and 10 -- Greenhouse vegetables produced for sale and transplant constituted 1,962,964 sq. ft. There were 547 acres of organically grown vegetables reported. The 2006 Farm Gate Value Survey, from which this vegetable data is obtained, relies on CE 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.
