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 151,078 acres of vegetables grown in Georgia during 2008, ranging from broccoli to zucchini with over 40 different vegetables reported. Approximately 93% of these are grown for the fresh market with 7% going to processing. From 2007 to 2008, CE agents reported an overall decrease of 11% in vegetable acreage (-17,739 acres). The greatest increases in acreage were reported for Southern Peas (1,566 acres) and Irish Potatoes (1,034 acres), whereas crops with greatest acreage losses included Snap Beans (-7,137 acres), Sweet Corn (-3,159 acres), and Watermelons (-2,363 acres). Tables 2 and 3 -- Vegetable acreage and value ranks show that Sweet Corn surpassed Watermelons as in 2007 to be first in vegetable acreage and Snap Beans was again in third place. Though Sweet Corn had more acreage, Onions and Watermelons ranked first and second respectively in value. Tables 4 through 8 -- Acreage and yields are defined by market, cultural practice and irrigation practice. Spring, bareground, irrigated vegetables constitute 42% of the total vegetable acres in Georgia. Tables 9 and 10 -- Greenhouse vegetables produced for sale and transplant constituted 1,956,301 sq. ft. There were 1,556 acres of organically grown vegetables reported. The 2008 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.
