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 168,817 acres of vegetables grown in Georgia during 2007, 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 2006 to 2007, CE agents reported an overall decrease of 1% in vegetable acreage (-1,462 acres). The greatest increases in acreage were reported for Sweet Corn (3,972 acres) and Cabbage (637 acres), whereas crops with greatest acreage losses included Snap Beans (-2,518), Tomatoes (-2,206 acres), and Carrots (-1,421 acres). Tables 2 and 3 -- Vegetable acreage and value ranks show that Sweet Corn surpassed Watermelons to be 1st in vegetable acreage and Snap Beans followed at 3rd. Though Sweet Corn 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 2,256,776 sq. ft. There were 1,446 acres of organically grown vegetables reported. The 2007 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.
