Youmans MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER Dear Fellow Georgians: Although the tilling of the soil and the raising of animals are two of mankind's most ancient endeavors, and agriculture is our state's oldest industry, Georgia farmers are not stuck in the past. They are in the forefront of advances in science, technology, and marketing. To remain in the forefront our farmers and all those involved in agriculture need accurate data and information to help them make decisions. Georgia Agricultural Facts is compiled each year to determine the current status of agriculture in the state and help us determine what direction it is headed. Farmers, agribusiness professionals, reporters, economists, and elected officials have used Georgia Agricultural Facts to better understand our state's leading industry and make important decisions regarding their farms, businesses, or even public policy. Published by the Georgia Department of Agriculture under a cooperative agreement with the National Agricultural Statistics Service and the United States Department of Agriculture, Georgia Agricultural Facts is dedicated to the continued growth and success of Georgia agriculture and to the commitment and efficiency of our farmers. Sincerely, ~~~~S)~ Georgia Cemrnissioner of Agriculture FOREWORD The only thing constant in our society today is change and it is crucial the agriculture industry be able to keep up with these changes. Whether it be changes in weather patterns, production techniques or marketing opportunities, we must have reliable, accurate and current information on which to base decisions. For this reason I am pleased to present the 1998 Georgia Agricultural Facts. The production of food and fiber is Georgia's largest industry. As we look to the 21st Century and beyond, agriculture will remain vital to the state's economy. Its vitality today is demonstrated by the statistics contained in this report. In 1997, cash receipts from farm marketings brought in more than $5.9 billion to our economy. Increased marketings of broilers and eggs made Georgia the number one poultry state. Conditions so far in 1998 have placed considerable stress on our producers. Winter rains, a spring freeze and summer drought have taken their toll on agricultural production. Our farmers have been forced to make decisions every day that affect profit or loss. These decisions are made best with accurate information. It is for this reason the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service continues to provide timely information on crop and livestock production and marketings. This report and others would not be possible without the help of Georgia's farmers and others involved in Georgia agribusiness who voluntarily provide basic information. I am grateful to these reporters and to the staff that works daily to count and compile this record of our number one industry. Georgia counts on agriculture! Robert T.

Corn was the only crop to show an increase from a year earlier. In fact, corn yields set a record 110 bushels per acre. Output of peanuts and cotton, the two leading cash crops in Georgia, however, were very disappointing. Diseases and dry weather reduced peanut production to the lowest level since the drought of 1980. Cotton yields declined because of the heavy rains throughout the harvest season. COTTON Georgia's tobacco production in 1997 declined because the cool wet weather in early spring promoted the spread of diseases. Production totaled 89.2 million pounds, a 21 percent plunge from the excellent crop of 1996. Yields averaged 2,075 pounds compared with the record 2,470 pounds per acre in 1996. Acreage also declined, dropping 3,000 acres from 1996. Prices weakened as well, after showing three consecutive years of gains. The 1997 crop averaged $171.20 per hundred pounds, compared with $181.30 in 1996. Total value of the 1997 tobacco crop fell to $153 million, but continued as the fourth most valuable crop in Georgia in 1997. After a promising outlook in late summer, cotton prospects steadily decreased through the remainder of the year. Heavy rains began in late September and continued through December which reduced yields and quality. Yields averaged 646 pounds per harvested acre down 101 from 1996. Final harvested acreage totaled only 1,425,000 acres from the 1,440,000 acres planted in 1997. Georgia's production totaled 1,919,000 bales (480 Ibs.), down 8 percent from the 2,079,000 produced in 1996. Prices were nearly steady compared to the previous year, with the preliminary average only .3 cents below 1996, at 70.2 cents per pound. CORN Georgia's record corn yield of 110 bushels was the bright spot in the 1997 crop year. This was 15 bushels better than 1996 and four bushels above the previous record of 1994. The cool wet spring benefitted corn production, although rust disease somewhat limited the crop. Dry conditions in August and September were nearly ideal for harvest. Corn planted for all purposes fell to 550,000 acres in 1997, 5 percent less than 1996. Acreage harvested for grain also dropped 5 percent, to 500,000 acres. Grain production, however, expanded to 55 million bushels, up 10 percent from the previous year. Corn harvested for silage totaled 40,000 acres in 1997,5,000 less than 1996. Silage yields set a record high as well, averaging 17 tons per acre, one ton above the previous high. Grain prices declined in 1997, to a preliminary average of $2.90 per bushel, down 68 cents per bushel from 1996. PEANUTS Peanut production in Georgia was damaged by the dry weather of August and September and widespread occurrences of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus. Production in 1997 totaled only 1.33 billion pounds (666,915 tons), 7 percent lower than 1996 and the lowest in 17 years. The decline was also a result of a reduction in acreage in 1997. Planted and harvested acres both dropped 3 percent to 520,000 and 519,000 acres, respectively. Yields averaged 2,570 pounds per acre, compared with 2,690 pounds in 1996. Preliminary prices averaged 27.2 cents per pound, before any GFA pool profits were distributed. Prices for the 1996 crop, including GFA profits, averaged 29.7 cents per pound. SOYBEANS Soybean yields were hurt extensively by the drought conditions of August and September. Final yields averaged 21 bushels per harvested acre, five bushels less than in 1996. Heavy rains continued through the harvest season, causing a reduction in acreage. Only 410,000 of the 430,000 acres planted were harvested for beans. This was still 20,000 acres more than 1996 and 100,000 more than two years earlier. Georgia's production fell to 8.61 million bushels, 15 percent less than 1996. Preliminary prices averaged $6.75 per bushel, compared with $6.87 per bushel in 1996. SORGHUM Sorghum planted for all purposes and harvested for grain in 1997 were both unchanged from a year earlier, at 65,000 and 40,000 acres, respectively. Yields averaged 40 bushels per acre, down one bushel from 1996. Grain production totaled 1.60 million bushels, 2 percent less than a year earlier, while prices improved to $2.65 per bushel. Sorghum harvested as silage dropped 5,000 to 15,000 acres, the smallest since 1969. Silage yields averaged 10 tons per acre, the same as in 1996. HAY Hay production totaled 1.56 million tons, down 7 percent from 1996. Favorable prospects at mid summer deteriorated because of the lack of rain in August and September. Yields averaged 2.6 tons per acre from all cuttings, down .2 tons from 1996. Acreage harvested was unchanged from a year earlier at 600,000 acres. However, prices farmers received for hay sold averaged $59.00 per ton, down $3.50 per ton from 1996. SMALL GRAINS Wheat, oats and rye plantings for 1997 all remained unchanged from 1996. However, wheat and oats harvested for grain increased 10,000 and 5,000 acres, respectively, while rye harvested for grain declined 5,000 acres. The cool wet spring reduced small grain yields from 1996, with wheat and rye down four bushels per acre, and oats averaging eight bushels below the previous year.

Blueberries 38 FRUITS, NUTS, AND VEGETABLES HIGHLIGHTS -1997 CROP YEAR Despite a midsummer drought and heavy rains at harvest, a cool but wet spring produced an above average vegetable crop in 1997. Fruit production returned to near normal levels after severe frost damage of 1996. Wet fields in late fall prevented some farmers from planting their intended vegetable acreage. For the year, however, most vegetable crops did fairly well. Increased production of cabbage, cucumbers, cantaloupes, onions and sweet corn was somewhat offset by reduced output of watermelons from the dry summer. Value of Georgia's 1997 fruit crops, including pecans, was $140 million, an 82 percent increase over the previous year due primiarly to the peach comeback. Vegetable crops' value of production totaled $300 million, 24 percent greater than 1996. PECANS Georgia's 1997 pecan production totaled 105 million pounds, five million pounds above 1996's production and 20 million pounds above the early season forecasts. Dry conditions in late summer limited production somewhat, but final output turned out much better than earlier expected. Persistent rains through the harvest season reduced quality, but producers were able to harvest an above average crop. Production of seedling varieties totaled 24 million pounds, 10 million pounds more than 1996. However, improved varieties declined five million pounds to 81 million. Georgia continues as the leading State in pecan production, producing 31 percent of the Nation's pecans in 1997. Prices producers received for 1997 pecans averaged 83.2 cents per pound, compared with 61.9 cents for the 1996 crop. PEACHES Peach production in 1997 made an enormous comeback from the disaster of 1996. Georgia's production returned to near normal levels in 1997 to total 160 million pounds. Total production includes the quantity harvested plus quantities which would have been acceptable for fresh market or processing but were not harvested because of economic or natural reasons. Utilized production totaled 145 million pounds for 1997. Yields averaged 8,000 pounds from 20,000 acres of bearing age trees. Acreage declined, as several orchards failed to return to production after the freeze of 1996. Marketing year average prices returned to a more normal level, averaging 24.3 cents per pound, 9.5 cents below 1996. The value of production rebounded to $35.2 million, making the 1997 crop the highest in seven years. APPLES Georgia's apple production totaled 26.0 million pounds, 18 percent more than in 1996. Utilized production, at 25.0 million pounds, increased 19 percentfrom 1996. Although a few orchards in the extreme northern part of the State suffered some freeze and hail damage, 1997 apple production was generally good. Bearing age acreage totaled 2,300 acres, down 100 acres from the previous year. Value of production totaled $3.77 million, compared with $3.57 million in 1996. Prices averaged 15.1 cents per pound in 1997, down 1.9 cents per pound from a year earlier. GRAPES Grape production totaled 3,700 tons, 6 percent above 1996. Yields averaged 2.31 tons per acre from 1,600 acres of bearing age vines. Crop conditions were mostly favorable for the season, but hot, dry weather in August and early September limited production somewhat. Utilized production amounted to 3,400 tons, 100 tons more than in 1996. Prices for the season averaged $986 per ton, $84 less than the previous year. The value of utilized production decreased to $3.35 million, compared with 1996's value of $3.52 million. BLUEBERRIES Blueberry production in Georgia rebounded from the freeze damaged crop of 1996 to total 15.0 million pounds, two and a half times the production of the previous year. Utilized production totaled 14.0 million pounds in 1997, 155 percent more than the 1996 crop. Yields averaged 3,330 pounds per acre (based on utilized production) in 1997 from 4,200 acres harvested. At 74.8 cents per pound, average prices declined 5.5 cents from the previous year. The value of blueberries produced in 1997 totaled nearly $10.5 million, 137 percent more than the 1996 value. ONIONS Onion production in Georgia continued its upward spiral in 1997 with record high acreage, yield, production and value of production. Planted acreage totaled 16,200 acres, up from the previous high of 16,000 acres planted for the 1996 crop. The harvest of 15,800 acres, a 7 percent increase from 1996, got off to a quick start in early April. Harvest was Virtually complete by late May. Yields averaged 220 cwt. per acre, 100 cwt. better than the poor crop of 1996 and the highest on record. With a heavy supply at peak harvest, prices declined, but still managed to average $25.60 per cwt. for the season. The resulting value of production of almost $89 million was 65 percent more than the 1996 crop and the highest ever. WATERMELONS Watermelons planted in 1997 totaled 34,000 acres, 19 percent less than 1996. Cool and damp weather through May slowed development and delayed harvest. Harvested acreage fell 14 percent from the previous year to 31,000 acres. Yields averaged 210 cwt. per acre, compared with 225 cwt. in 1996. The resulting production of 651 million pounds was 20 percent less than the previous year. With production down, prices improved from 1996 to average 5.5 cents per pound. Value of production totaled $35.8 million, up 11 percent from 1996. 39 FRUIT CROPS--Acreage, Yield, Production, Price and Value, Georgia, 1990-1997 Year Trees of Bearing Age Yield per Bearing Age Acres" Acre21 Total Utilized Season Value of Utilized Production Production Average Price Production Apples 1990 380,000 1991 360,000 1992 360,000 1993 330,000 1994 330,000 1995 390,000 1996 420,000 1997 460,000 Blueberries31 1992 1993 1994 1995 1996 1997 Grapes,AII 3,000 2,800 2,700 2,500 2,400 2,400 2,400 2,300 3,500 3,700 3,700 3,700 3,500 4,200 Pounds 7,330 11,400 9,260 13,600 10,800 12,500 9,170 11,300 3,430 1,490 2,030 3,510 1,570 3,330 Tons --Million Pounds-- 22.0 21.0 32.0 30.0 25.0 24.0 34.0 31.0 26.0 22.0 30.0 26.0 22.0 21.0 26.0 25.0 12.0 6.0 9.0 14.0 6.0 15.0 Tons 12.0 5.5 7.5 13.0 5.5 14.0 Tons Cts. per Lb. 13.2 13.6 18.7 14.6 13.9 16.4 17.0 15.1 75.8 47.5 55.0 59.7 80.3 74.8 Ools. per Ton 1,000 Dols. 2,778 4,080 4,488 4,541 3,051 4,251 3,570 3,766 9,090 2,610 4,125 7,760 4,415 10,470 1990 1,700 1.71 2,900 2,900 777 2,252 1991 1,800 1.78 3,200 3,000 811 2,432 1992 1,700 2.00 3,400 3,100 848 2,630 1993 1,700 2.12 3,600 3,600 843 3,035 1994 1,600 2.00 3,200 2,700 919 2,481 1995 1,600 2.00 3,200 3,000 1,110 3,318 1996 1,600 2.19 3,500 3,300 1,070 3,517 1997 1600 231 3700 3400 986 3,352 1/ Beari~ acreage estimates are primarily based on roriodic orchard surveys.

The increase is due primarily to gains in vegetables, meat animals, and poultry and eggs. The gains were off-set by decreases in most field crops and dairy products. Gross farm income includes cash income, non-cash income, and inventory adjustment. Farm inventory adjustments for 1997 were a negative $26.2 million compared to a positive $38.5 million in 1996. Farm production expenses declined to $4.3 billion, 1 percent below the record high set in 1996. Cash receipts from farm marketings totaled $5.9 billion, 3 percent above 1996 and a record high. Government payments decreased to $109.2 million in 1997 from $114.7 million in 1996. Sales of farm forest products rose to $151.7 million, up $1.7 million from 1996. Net farm income is 11 percent above 1996 at $2.5 billion. Georgia ranked 10th among all States in 1997 cash receipts from sales of crops, livestock, poultry and dairy products. The 1997 cash receipts for Georgia represented 2.8 percent of the U.S. total, unchanged from 1996. CASH RECEIPTS -1997 The total cash receipts from the sale of crop and livestock commodities, farm forest products, and proceeds from government payments totaled $6.1 billion, 3 percent above 1995 and the highest of record. Poultry and eggs accounted for 43.5 percent of the total; crops accounted for 39.8 percent; livestock 12.5 percent; farm forest products 2.5 percent; and government payments 1.7 percent. Cash receipts from poultry continues to be the major contributor at $2.7 billion. This is the third year in succession that cash receipts for poultry have broken the $2.0 billion mark. Broilers continue to rank as Georgia's number one cash receipts commodity. Eggs rose to the fourth place ranking among all commodities with receipts of $359 million, or 5.8 percent of the total cash receipts. Cash receipts from crops in 1997 totaled $2.4 billion, down slightly from the $2.5 billion in 1996. Cotton accounted for 11.5 percent of the total cash receipts with earnings of $709 million, down $33 million from 1996. Cotton maintained its place as the second leading cash receipts commodity. Receipts from total vegetables replaced peanuts as the third leading commodity at $476 million or 7.7 percent of the total cash receipts. Peanuts accounted for 5.9 percent of the total cash receipts at $363 million. Nursery, greenhouse, and sod cash receipts accounted for 4.1 percent of the total or $252 million, up 15 percent from 1996. Cash receipts from the sales of livestock and products totaled $770 million, up 11 percent from 1996. Cattle and calves receipts contributed the most to this category at $349 million, followed by dairy products at $219 million and hogs at $159 million. Dairy products and hog receipts declined from the previous year, 9 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Farm forest products and government payments accounted for 2.5 percent and 1.8 percent of the total cash receipts, respectively, virtually unchanged from the previous year. Cash receipts from farm forest products rose a modest 1% while government payments declined almost 5%. FARM PRODUCTION EXPENSES -1997 Farm production expenses totaled $4.28 billion in 1997, down 1 percent from the $4.33 billion in 1996. Feed purchases continued to be the single largest expense but dropped 17 percent, or $181 million, from the previous year. Both livestock and poultry purchased expenses and seed purchase expenses increased from last year, at 28 percent and 5 percent, respectively. All manufactured input expenses increased: fertilizer and lime up 3 percent; pesticides up 6 percent; petroleum fuel and oils up 4 percent; and electricity up 39 percent. Overall, other intermediate expenses increased 3 percent. The decrease in repair and maintenance of capital items, machine hire and custom work, and marketing, storage, and transportation costs were offset by the increases in contract labor and miscellaneous expenses. Property taxes increased 2 percent to $104 million. Real estate and nonreal estate interest rose 3 percent to $293 million. Total hired labor stayed below the $250 million mark but increased 4 percent to $238 million.

Rainfall was normal during the winter, but by April much of south Georgia was dry and in need of rain. The first half of June was a continuation of May's cool, cloudy and damp weather. Temperatures had warmed to near normal levels by mid-June and sunshine had returned. Crop development and harvest progress for the early planted row crops were generally ahead of normal by midJune. July was a good month for most crops as temperatures held near normal and rainfall was adequate in all but the southcentral and southeast. The good prospects of early summer disappeared in late August and September as hot dry conditions sharply reduced crop prospects for cotton, peanuts, and soybeans. Corn did benefit as conditions were near ideal for harvesting the record-yielding crop and tobacco harvest was also aided. Disease problems in peanuts were a major concern and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus was described as the worst ever. The persistent dry weather finally ended with heavy rains the last of September. This signaled a change to wet weather which worsened in November and December leaving many fields of cotton and soybeans unharvested. January Temperatures during January averaged slightly above normal with extremely cold temperatures present in the northwestern and northeastern areas of the State. Rainfall averaged 18 percent above normal for the month. All areas of the State received above normal rainfall for the month. Onion condition was fair to mostly good. Wheat growth was slowed by the cold temperatures. Warmer weather near the end of the month provided good growth for small grains. Harvest was completed for soybeans and most cotton, and tobacco beds were prepared. Land preparation for planting was most active in the Southwest, with little progress in the North. February Temperatures were in the teens in a few extreme north Georgia mountain locations, but lows were around 30 degrees in most other central and north Georgia locations. The month ended with unseasonably warm weather across the State. Land preparation was a major activity as farmers prepared seed beds for planting cotton and peanuts. Corn planting was about ten days ahead of normal. Rain totals for the month averaged well below normal. Rain totals ranged from 1.4 to 5.6 inches for the month. April Average temperatures for the month were a few degrees below normal. Rainfall averaged 4.8 inches, 23 percent above normal for the State. The first week of the month rain was needed ,in the southwest section of the State, as dry soils were delaying planting progress. By the second week of April development of early planted crops slowed due to below normal temperatures. After mid-month, temperatures were still cool, which slowed germination and development of most crops. Corn planting and tobacco transplanting continued to be a few days ahead of normal. Planting of cotton and peanuts got underway at mid-month. Onions were in mostly good condition. Heavy showers during the last week of the month caused flooding and saturated soils, which slowed fieldwork. May May was a cool month with several days of temperatures under 65 degrees. Planting of corn, cotton, and peanuts was slowed. The second week brought an increase of field activities. Precipitation averaged 3.4 inches, well below normal while average temperatures were above normal at 66.3 degrees. Onion harvest was nearing completion and was more than a week ahead of schedule. Peach prospects were good. The cool weather slowed the growth of warm season grasses but overall condition ratings of hay and pastures were above last year when May was very dry. Temperatures and rainfall during February averaged above normal. Soil moisture was surplus for the month. Land preparation was nearly complete in the northern part of State while the southern part of the State was less than half complete. Top dressing applications of nitrogen to small grain were about 50 percent complete for the State. Peaches were in good condition with no significant freeze damage. Blooming averaged near 50 percent in the extreme south. Corn planting got underway in the extreme south at the end of the month. Onions were in good condition. Pastures were muddy and provided little feed to animals. March The average temperature for March was nearly 56 degrees, which was above normal. Development of early crops got off to a very fast start. Cooler temperatures during the third week of the month brought freezing temperatures to areas as far south as central Georgia. June The first two weeks of June were unprecedentedly cooler with more frequent showers. The cooler temperatures, rain and cloudy weather slowed crop growth and development. These conditions brought wheat harvest to a standstill in north Georgia. Rain continued through the end of the month delaying field activities across the State. Farmers planted and harvested crops as the weather and field conditions permitted. Disease problems in tobacco, vegetables and pecans were major concerns of farmers. By the last week of the month warmer temperatures returned improving crop development. Cotton planting was slightly ahead of normal. Wheat harvest, although nearly completed over the central and southern areas of the State, was delayed in other areas due to harvesting loss and quality problems. 81 July November July was a cool month with average temperatures slightly above normal. Rainfall during the month was slightly below normal at 5 inches. A cooler than normal spring and early summer caused the crops to be more susceptible to disease problems. Harvest progress for tobacco was nearly a week ahead of normal. Disease problems in peanuts were a major concern. Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus was at a very high level. Cotton development was behind normal with condition ratings mostly good. Corn harvest began on time during the last week of July. August Temperatures during November were below normal at almost 51 degrees. Average rainfall was 5.5 inches, 74 percent above normal. Heavy rains over much of the State slowed field work the first week of the month. The southern region of the State had the highest levels of moisture. Row crops yet to be harvested recorded a slight decline in condition ratings. Corn harvest made no progress because of the wet conditions. Peanut digging was virtually completed, and harvesting was one week ahead of normal. Rain and cold weather continued the second and third week of November limiting all harvesting of row crops and planting of small grains. Pecan harvest was well underway. Temperatures during August averaged a little below to near normal. The highest temperatures were recorded in the south central and southeastern areas of the State. Rainfall was below normal for the month, averaging 2.86 inches for the State. As warmer, drier conditions arrived at the end of the month, soil moisture levels declined. As a result, crop conditions declined from earlier in the month. Cotton, soybeans, and peanut fields reached critical stages of development and were in need of rain. Farmers with irrigation facilities were actively irrigating to relieve crop stress. Insect pressure on cotton required frequent scouting and spraying. Tobacco harvest finished nearly two weeks ahead of normal. Corn development was near normal, but harvesting was nearly 4 days behind normal. Peanut harvest got off to a very slow start. The heat and lack of rainfall in the peanut belt lowered yield prospects. Dry soils caused pasture conditions to plunge from earlier in the month. December Wet conditions during December slowed growth and prevented completion of harvest for some cotton and soybean fields. December temperatures averaged 47 degrees, about 1 degree below normal. Rainfall for the month averaged 6.2 inches, 1.9 inches or 48 percent above normal. Soil moisture levels were adequate to mostly surplus. Planting of small grains was almost completed. Pastures were in fair to poor condition. Farmers had to supplement feed to their cattle. Land preparation and pruning of peach trees were also major activities for the month. September Temperatures during September averaged near normal for the State ranging from below normal in the north to above normal in the south. Temperatures by mid-month were well above normal at most locations, reaching the mid 90's at numerous southern locations. Rainfall averaged above normal. Rainfall was heavy at many locations totaling as much as 8 inches in some areas. Condition ratings for row crops such as cotton, peanuts, soybeans, and sorghum continued to decline from August until the late September rains. Cotton defoliation and harvesting became more active throughout the month. Peanut harvesting was in full swing. Rains toward the end of the month enabled farmers to dig peanuts in areas where the soil had hardened. October Temperatures during October averaged a little below normal for the State. Temperatures at the first and end of the month were well below normal. Early in the month temperatures did reach 90 degrees at a few south Georgia stations. Rainfall in October was far above normal at most locations and especially in southeastern Georgia.
