A Message From Commissioner Irvin
Dear Fellow Georgians:
The Georgia Department of Agriculture is proud to publish Georgia Agricultural Facts 2003 Edition in cooperation with the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. This edition comes at the end of a four-year drought and at the two-year anniversary of terrorist attacks on our soil. We always should view statistical data in context, but we should be even more aware now of global context.
Comparison of statistical data over a period of time mirrors the changing face of agriculture. One can recognize the year-to-year changes which are cyclical and those trends that have become permanent conditions. One can hear the voice of the farmers, agribusiness owners, County Extension officials, and the many others in the agricultural economy who voluntarily contributed to the collection of the information presented here.
Use the information for research and as a reference guide. But remember to study the data in context of what was happening during the planting, growing and harvesting seasons. You also should relate the information to any available current statistics and information. The Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service continuously updates data as do other state divisions of the National Agricultural Statistics Service and provides the current information online. The Georgia Department of Agriculture website www.agr.state.ga.us provides a link to the statistics as well as many other sources of information.
Sincerely,
Tommy Irvin Commissioner Georgia Department of Agriculture
FOREWORD
It is my pleasure to present the "2003 Georgia Agricultural Facts," Georgia's annual overview of the productivity and success of our agricultural industry. The past year has seen the need for information in decision making escalate to a new plateau. Data are necessary to accomplish the requirements of operating the ever increasing complexity of a successful agricultural operation. The request for more information to use in planning and marketing continues. Without the voluntary reporting from thousands of Georgia farm operations, these data or this publication would not be possible.
Our agency has just finished the data collection phase of the 2002 Census of Agriculture. The Census of Agriculture, taken every 5 years, is the only source of information on demographics and changes in local agriculture. We attempted to contact every agricultural operation in the state in the first six months of 2002. Our office will analyze the data and summarize it at the state and county level and will begin a release of the data in late February 2004.
As a partner with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, our mission is to provide timely, accurate and unbiased information for everyone involved in today's agriculture. We are proud of our efforts on behalf of Georgia Agriculture, but we are also mindful that we cannot do our jobs without the help, support and cooperation of the many farmers, ranchers, and agribusiness people in Georgia. They are the source of the information we use to provide all our statistics. Thank you for helping us serve our industry.
We hope you find the "2003 Edition of the Georgia Agricultural Facts" a useful tool in your decision making tool box. This publication, as well as other statistics, are available on line at www.nass.usda.gov/ga/
Remember: Georgia counts on agriculture.
Regards,
David S. Abbe State Statistician

FARM INCOME AND EXPENSES
HIGHLIGHTS - 2002
Georgia's gross farm income for 2002 is at $5.92 billion, 12 percent less than 2001. Decreases were recorded in both crop and livestock production as well as revenues from services and forestry. Increased income from cotton, feed crops, and other crops were offset from decreased income from oil crops, food grains, tobacco, and fruit and tree nuts. All livestock income components showed a decline from 2001 except for miscellaneous livestock which showed a 9 percent increase. Gross farm income includes cash income, non-cash income, and inventory adjustment. Farm inventory adjustments for 2002 were a negative $47.7 million compared with a positive $134.0 million in 2001. Farm production expenses decreased 4 percent to $3.00 billion.
Cash receipts from farm marketings totaled $4.47 billion, 15 percent less than 2001. Net government transactions increased to $545 million in 2002 from $316 million in 2001. Net farm income was 28 percent below 2001's at $1.70 billion.
CASH RECEIPTS AND DIRECT GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS - 2002
The total cash receipts from the sale of crop and livestock commodities plus the proceeds from direct government payments totaled $5.12 billion, 10 percent less than 2001. Poultry and eggs accounted for 45.4 percent of the total; crops accounted for 30.9 percent; livestock excluding poultry 11.0 percent; and direct government payments 12.7 percent.
Cash receipts from poultry continues to be the major contributor at $2.33 billion. This is the eighth 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 ranked third among all commodities with receipts of $356 million, or 6.9 percent of the total cash receipts including government payments.
Cash receipts from crops in 2002 totaled $1.58 billion, down 9 percent from the $1.74 billion in 2001. Vegetables and melons accounted for 7.4 percent of the total cash receipts with earnings of $380 million, up slightly from 2001. Cotton placed fourth in cash receipts at $347 million and accounted for 6.8 percent of the total cash receipts. Nursery, greenhouse, and sod cash receipts accounted for 5.1 percent of the total or $261 million, up 1 percent from 2001. Peanuts accounted for 4.5 percent of the total with $230 million in cash receipts.
Cash receipts from the sale of livestock excluding poultry totaled $562 million, down 20 percent from 2001, reflecting a 26 percent decrease in meat animals. Cattle and calves receipts contributed the most to this category at $264 million, followed by dairy products at $193 million and hogs at $59.6 million. Miscellaneous livestock, including honey, aquaculture, and other livestock, increased 9 percent.
Government payments were up 53 percent from the previous year at $653 million.
FARM PRODUCTION EXPENSES - 2002
Farm production expenses totaled $4.22 billion in 2002, down 3 percent from the $4.34 billion in 2001. Feed purchases at $952 million continued to be the single largest expense but decreased 1 percent, or $13.5 million, from the previous year.
Seed purchased expenses increased 9 percent from last year, to $130 million. Fertilizer and lime and pesticide input expenses decreased: Fertilizer and lime down 3 percent; pesticides down 8 percent. Electricity, and petroleum fuel and oils increased 1 percent from 2001. Overall, other intermediate expenses decreased 4 percent. The increase in repair and maintenance plus total labor costs were offset by decreases in marketing, storage and transportation costs, and miscellaneous expenses.
Property taxes and motor vehicle registration and licensing fees decreased 3 percent to $108 million. Real estate and non-real estate interest fell 7 percent to $274 million. Net rent received by non-operator landlords increased 27 percent to $71.7 million.

1/ USDA estimates and publishes individual cash receipt values only for major commodities and major producing States. The U.S. receipts for individual commodities, computed as the sum of the reported States, may understate the value of sales for some commodities, with the balance included in the appropriate category labeled "other" or "miscellaneous." The degree of underestimation in some of the minor commodities can be substantial. 2/ May not add due to rounding.

1/ Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of the commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector's contribution to the National economy and is the sum of the of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production, regardless of ownership. Net
farm income is the farm operators' share of income from the sector's production activities. The concept presented is consistent with that employed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 2/ A positive value of inventory change represents current-year production not sold by December
31. A negative value is an offset to production from prior years included in current-year sales. Economic Research Service/USDA Information. Contact: Roger Strickland, E-Mail: rogers@ers.usda.gov. Revised: July 28, 2003.

COUNTY ESTIMATES
County level estimates or District level estimates are made for eleven Georgia field crops, cattle, and hogs. These estimates are based on the county where the operator lives or company headquarters is located except for hogs. Hogs are estimated in the district in which they reside. The `Other Counties' designation contains data for those counties where publishing data could disclose individual operations.
The State is divided into nine Statistical Districts: three across north Georgia, three across the central part of the State and three across south Georgia. This allows data to be published that cannot be published at the county level because of disclosure.

FIELD CROPS
HIGHLIGHTS -- 2002 CROP YEAR
Wintertime temperatures were near normal, while rainfall was slightly below average. The early part of the spring was dry with normal temperatures. Temperatures during May were near normal, except during the middle of the month when temperatures were well below average. June was generally dry with only scattered showers. Temperatures were near normal. The remainder of the summer was dry, with only hit and miss showers. Yields suffered on dryland crops. During September weather conditions changed dramatically. Two tropical storms, one during mid-month and one the latter part of the month, brought much needed rains to most of the State. The rains were beneficial in replenishing ponds and ground water, but hindered peanut and cotton harvesting. The remainder of the fall and early winter brought above normal rainfall and below normal temperatures.
COTTON
Cotton planting was virtually complete by the first of June, well ahead of the five-year average. Overall, the crop was in fair to good condition throughout the growing season; however, dryland yields suffered due to little rain. Harvesting weather was hindered by wet conditions. Yields averaged 557 pounds per harvested acre, compared with 720 pounds in 2001. There were 1,360,000 harvested acres from the 1,450,000 acres planted in 2002. This compares with the 1,480,000 acres harvested in 2001. Georgia's production totaled 1,578,000 bales (480 lbs.), down 29 percent from the 2,220,000 produced in 2001. The preliminary price for 2002 cotton lint was 44.6 cents per pound, compared with 30.6 cents per pound in 2001.
CORN Dryland corn suffered during the dry summer, while irrigated corn fared well. Of the 340,000 planted acres, 290,000 acres were harvested for grain. Grain yields were 115 bushels per acre, the second highest on record. Grain production totaled 33,350,000 bushels, up 13 percent from 2001. Corn was cut for silage from 40,000 acres, the same as 2001. Silage yields averaged 16 tons per acre compared with 18 tons in 2001. Preliminary grain prices averaged $2.65 in 2002, compared with $2.32 in 2001.
13 percent less than the 2001 crop. Yields averaged 2,100 pounds compared with 2,460 pounds per acre in 2001. Harvested acreage showed a slight increase, going from 26,100 acres in 2001 to 26,500 acres in 2002. Prices decreased slightly compared with the previous year. The 2002 crop averaged $184.50 per hundredweight (cwt.), compared with $185.50 in 2001. Total value of the 2002 tobacco crop was $103 million compared with $119 million in 2001.
SOYBEANS
Soybean planting got underway about the third week of April. Yields suffered due to hot and dry summertime conditions. Final yields averaged 21 bushels per harvested acre, five bushels less than in 2001. Harvest was slowed by wet conditions. Soybean acreage continued to decline, as only 160,000 acres were planted compared with 165,000 acres in 2001. Harvested acreage was 140,000 acres compared with 155,000 acres in 2001. Georgia's production decreased to 2.94 million bushels, 27 percent less than 2001. Preliminary prices averaged $5.35 per bushel, compared with $4.35 per bushel in 2001.
SORGHUM
Sorghum planted for all purposes amounted to 55,000 acres in 2002, up 5,000 acres from 2001. Acreage harvested for grain tallied 30,000 acres in 2002, 5,000 acres more than in 2001. Yields averaged 43 bushels per acre and grain production totaled 1.29 million bushels, 8 percent more than in 2001. Prices averaged $2.41 per bushel. Sorghum harvested as silage was 20,000 acres, the same as in 2001. Silage yields averaged 13 tons per acre, three more tons than in 2001.
HAY
Hay production totaled 1.69 million tons, down 13 percent from 2001. Yields averaged 2.6 tons per acre from all cuttings, down 0.40 of a ton from 2001. Acreage harvested totaled 650,000 acres, the same as in 2001. The prices farmers received for hay sold averaged $57.00 per ton, down $1.00 per ton from 2001.
PEANUTS
SMALL GRAINS
Peanut yields in 2002 decreased from the previous year to average 2,600 pounds per acre. A cool mid-May, which was followed by hot and dry weather, hurt the crop development. Wet weather during harvest was also a big hindrance. Production in 2002 totaled 1.31 billion pounds (656,500 tons), down 23 percent from 2001. The production decrease resulted from a decrease in acreage and lower yields. Planted acreage declined to 510,000 acres, compared with 515,000 acres in 2001. Harvested acreage totaled 505,000 acres in 2002. Georgia produced 40 percent of the Nation's peanuts in 2002.
TOBACCO
Acres of wheat planted in 2002 expanded to 350,000, compared with 300,000 acres in 2001. Harvested acres were at 200,000, the same as in 2001. Yields declined and growers averaged 41 bushels per acre, compared to 53 bushels per acre last year. Oats planted acreage was 90,000, down 10,000 acres from a year earlier. Harvested acres were 25,000, compared with 35,000 the previous year. Yield averaged 60 bushels per acre, compared with 65 bushels per acre in 2001. Rye planted acreage fell to 260,000 in 2002, compared with 300,000 acres in 2001. Harvested acres totaled 45,000, compared to 35,000 acres in 2001. Yields dropped to 16 bushels per acre, compared to 25 bushels per acre in 2001.
Transplanting got off to a fast start and was virtually complete by the third week of April. Yields suffered due to dry conditions, worms and above average disease problems. Production totaled 55.7 million pounds,

FRUITS, NUTS, AND VEGETABLES
HIGHLIGHTS - 2002 CROP YEAR
Of the 11 vegetable crops in the estimating program, 4 decreased in value from the previous year. The value of production decreased for sweet corn, onions, bell peppers and tomatoes in 2002. Prices decreased for sweet corn, bell peppers and tomatoes. Despite a 17 percent increase in the price of onions, value fell because of decreased harvested acreage and lower yields. The value of production of onions, still the most valuable vegetable crop in Georgia, dropped 34 percent. Production improved on five crops, and prices increased on six crops, compared with the 2001 crop year. The value of squash more than doubled from a year earlier, as production increased 45 percent. Prices averaged 46 percent more than in 2001.
Prices increased for peaches and blueberries while apples declined in price compared with 2001. The price of grapes rose slightly. The value of the grape crop fell due to a 13 percent decline in production. A sharp increase in the price of peaches more than offset the decline in production. The value of the pecan crop was only a third of the 2001 crop because of a 59 percent decline in production.
PECANS
Georgia's pecan production totaled 45 million pounds, down 59 percent from the 110 million pounds produced in 2001. Dry conditions from late summer through the end of the year caused early nut drop. Insects and diseases were difficult and expensive to control. Production of seedling varieties totaled 3 million pounds, 22 million less than 2001. Improved varieties amounted to 42 million pounds compared with 85 million in 2001. Georgia continued as the leading pecan producing state, with 26 percent of the Nation's production in 2002. Prices averaged $1.00 per pound, compared with 61.2 cents per pound for the 2001 crop. The value of pecans produced fell to $44.9 million, 33 percent less than the previous year.
PEACHES
Peach production in 2002 totaled 100 million pounds, 29 percent less than in 2001. Utilized production, the amount sold plus the quantities used at home or held in storage, decreased 26 percent to 92 million pounds. Freezes reduced the peach crop in north Georgia, but the major production area escaped freeze damage. Mid summer rains allowed peaches to size well. Marketing year prices jumped to 38.4 cents per pound, compared with 28.0 cents in 2001. The value of production totaled $35.3 million, up from the $35.0 million value in 2001.
GRAPES
Georgia's total grape production amounted to 2,800 tons in 2002 with a utilized production of 2,760 tons. This was 400 less than 2001's total production and 440 less than the previous year's utilized production. Vineyards generally escaped spring freeze damage but could not escape the effects of the continuing drought, insects and disease. Yields averaged 2.55 tons per acre from 1,100 acres of bearing age vines. Yields in 2001 averaged 2.91 tons from 1,100 acres. Prices increased to $1,060 per
ton, compared with $1,050 per ton in 2001. The value of utilized production totaled $2.94 million, down 13 percent from the previous year.
BLUEBERRIES
Blueberry production totaled 17.0 million pounds, down 6 percent or one million pounds from the production of 2001. Freezing temperatures in the spring and dry weather during the growing season combined to reduced production. Utilized production was 17.0 million pounds, same as the previous year. Yields, (based on utilized production) averaged 3,780 pounds per acre, compared with 3,700 for the 2001 crop. Acreage harvested, at 4,500, decreased 100 acres from the previous year. Prices rose to $1.02 per pound, up 22.3 cents from 2001. The value of utilized production in 2002 totaled $17.4 million, 29 percent more than the value of the 2001 crop.
ONIONS
Temperature variations and a fast spreading fungal disease reduced onion production in 2002. A cold snap in February and unusually warm weather in April caused unwanted growth and other defects. Heavy rains in mid April helped to spread "stemphyllium fungus." Several fields were completely abandoned and culls were heavy. As a result, only 11,500 acres out of 14,700 planted were harvested, down 15 percent from 2001. Yields averaged 125 hundredweight (cwt.) per acre, down 65 cwt. or 34 percent from the previous year. This was the lowest average yield since 1996. Production totaled 1.44 million cwt., 44 percent less than 2001. Because of the lower production, prices improved to $32.20 per cwt., compared with $27.50 per cwt. in 2001. Value of production amounted to $46.3 million, only 66 percent of 2001.
SQUASH
Squash production totaled 1.43 million cwt. in 2002. Planted acres increased 100 acres from the previous year to 9,100 in 2002. Harvested acres was 8,600 in 2002, 9 percent more than in 2001. Yields averaged 165 cwt. per acre, up 32 percent from the previous year. Prices rose significantly to $31.00 per cwt, up 46 percent from the 2001 price of $21.20 per cwt. Total value of production more then doubled from $21 million in 2001 to $44.3 million in 2002. Georgia accounted for 22 percent of the total value of production of squash in the United States in 2002.
WATERMELONS
Watermelon production in 2002 totaled 510 million pounds, 13 percent less than in 2001. Acreage harvested declined 2,000 acres from a year earlier to 20,000. Yields, at 255 cwt. per acre, were down from the record of 265 cwt. per acre set in 2001. Prices averaged $5.80 per cwt., up 16 percent from a year earlier. Value of production totaled $29.6 million, 1 percent more than the 2001 crop's value of $29.2 million.

GENERAL
2002 CROP WEATHER SUMMARY
The year started with below to well above normal temperatures. Parts of the state received snow on the 2nd and 3rd of January. A cold front the latter part of February delayed harvesting activities. Rainfall for March was slightly below normal throughout most of the State. Onion and small grain conditions were fair to good. Rains replenished soil moisture in many areas. Temperatures for April varied from near normal to above normal. Soil moisture was short to adequate. Cold weather for the first half of the month caused the loss of apple and peach blooms for some counties. North Georgia received scattered rainfall for the first half of May. Counties in South and Central Georgia received no rain and reported low soil moisture levels. Strong winds and tornadic activity damaged wheat. Dry conditions caused crop conditions to deteriorate in some areas. Drought conditions continued despite scattered rains for the first half of June. The rains provided temporary relief to fields and pastures. Rain throughout the month continued to be beneficial, however, subsoil moisture levels remained low. Hot and dry conditions persisted as temperatures reached almost the 100 degree mark for July. Scattered rains did little to replenish dry soils. Crop conditions improved in areas that received rain. The drought continued and caused crop conditions to decline. Corn harvesting began and apple picking started at a swift pace. August temperatures varied. At the beginning of the month, a cold front swept across the State and brought cooler temperatures to many areas. Cooler temperatures brought relief to fields suffering from July's scalding temperatures. Drought conditions persisted across the State. The cooler weather benefitted crops. Mild temperatures accompanied much needed rain for September. Soil moisture conditions improved temporarily. Crop conditions showed little improvement despite the rains. The rains delayed fieldwork and damaged cotton and peanut crops in some areas. Armyworms continued to be a major problem for soybeans and pastures. October rains improved soil moisture, however, impeded cotton harvesting and peanut and soybean combining. Apple harvesting neared completion. During mid-November, a cold front moved across the State bringing severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. Rainfall was heavy with 3 to 5 inches in some areas. Thunderstorms and tornadoes postponed most farming activities. The rains continued to fill ponds and streams. Dry weather was needed to work fields, harvest cotton, and plant wheat. December was wet and cool. Abundant rains across the State delayed cotton harvesting. The long-term drought that had impacted Georgia since 1998 was all but over. Some areas experienced high winds around Christmas Eve. Cotton harvesting neared completion.
January: Temperatures for the month of January varied. The first half of the month temperatures were well below normal, while the last half of the month was well above normal. Rainfall for the State was near normal; however, some areas of the State had below normal rainfall. Parts of Georgia received three to five inches of snow on the 2nd and 3rd of the month. The drought was still alive and well in Georgia. In many areas of the State, pond and stream levels remained low. Sub soil moisture was extremely short. County agents rated soil moisture as forty percent very short to short and sixty percent
adequate. Some winter wheat and rye had been fertilized. Wheat and rye were in fair to good condition. Peach condition was good, with most areas approaching the needed chill hours. Onions were in fair to good condition. Tobacco in beds and greenhouses were in good condition. Land preparation for spring began to get underway the latter part of the month. Other activities included the routine care of livestock and poultry.
February: Temperatures for the month of February were near normal to slightly above normal, while rainfall was about half of normal. A cold snap the latter part of the month put some pastures back into dormancy. Pasture conditions were mostly fair to good. Extensive hay feeding to livestock continued. The cold weather had caused some replanting of corn, and some damage to peach blooms in south Georgia. Small grains were in mostly fair to good condition, but need rain. Growers were applying nitrogen to small grains. Carrot harvest has begun. Onion condition was good. Land preparation for spring planting was active. Cattle are continuing to calve.
March: March temperatures were near normal, while rainfall was slightly below normal throughout most of the state. A cold snap the first part of March and the latter part of the month brought minimal damage to row crops. Pasture conditions were mostly fair to good. Warm season forages started to green up. Small grains were in mostly fair to good condition. Carrot harvesting was active. Tobacco transplanting was just getting under way. Onion condition was good. Land preparation for spring planting was active. Feeding hay to livestock continues. Cattle are continuing to calve.
April: Temperatures were near normal to slightly below normal at the beginning of April which improved overall crop and planting conditions in some counties. Pastures, hayfields, and small grain crops benefitted from scattered showers during the middle of the month. Soli moisture levels were adequate, but subsoil moisture continued to be a concern for growers. Tobacco transplanting and corn planting was active in many parts of the state. Farmers actively prepared cotton and peanut land. Tobacco transplants showed disease symptoms of Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, blue mold, Rhizoctinia, and Pythium in southern Georgia counties. Light rain moved across the State towards the end of the month. Rain did little to improve soil moisture. Strong winds and sunny weather contributed to rapidly drying soils. Corn suffered from lack of moisture in the northern part of the State. Peanut planting accelerated.
May: Many areas received beneficial rainfall throughout the month. Despite the rainfall and cooler temperatures, low soil moisture continued to stress crops and caused planting delays in many parts of the State. Heavy rainfall at the beginning of the month caused possible crop damage in northern Georgia counties. Hay cutting and planting was delayed in some areas due to rains. Counties in southern and central Georgia received no rain and reported low soil moisture levels. Many counties reported declining crop conditions caused by the continuing drought. Counties reported that squash picking ceased because of the drought conditions. Hay cutting and wheat harvesting were active throughout the

State. Tobacco fields were treated for budworms and hornworms. Pecan trees were sprayed for leaf disease, scab, and insects. Onion harvesting neared completion. Most late variety peaches faired well.
June: Drought conditions continued despite the much needed refreshing rains that moved across Georgia for most of June. Rains provided temporary relief to fields and pastures. Pond and stream levels continued to drop due to increased irrigation and dry weather. Many irrigation ponds were reported to be near depletion. Topsoil moisture improved, however, subsoil moisture levels remained low. Several counties reported crop damage due to drought conditions. Dry conditions caused some cattlemen to use hay for feed. Producers applied herbicides and insecticides to cotton. Land plaster and fungicides were applied to peanuts. Watermelon harvest progressed at a rapid pace. The peach and blueberry crops appeared in good condition. In several counties, trees dropped immature pecans.
July: July rains improved the State' crops and pastures, still, soil conditions remained critically low. County agents reported that 65 percent of the cropland had less than adequate soil moisture. The continuing drought and high temperatures caused crop conditions to decline. Temperatures reached 100 degrees or more in several areas. Cattlemen continued to feed hay because of poor pasture conditions. Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus reports increased in tobacco. Cotton was being sprayed with growth regulators and foliar fertilizer. Farmers prepared fields for final planting of soybeans, cotton and grain sorghum. Corn harvesting began. The watermelon harvest neared completion.
August: Drought conditions persisted across the State for the month of August. Temperatures for the month varied from below normal to above normal. Soil conditions continued to remain dry despite the scattered showers that fell during the month. A cold front swept across the State the first half of August bringing cooler temperatures to many areas. Some areas reached record lows. Dryland crops throughout the State showed the impact of extremely dry conditions. Armyworms continued to plague hayfields. Poor pasture conditions forced cattlemen to feed hay. Farmers actively harvested tobacco and corn. The peach harvest neared completion. In the northern part of the State, viticulturists harvested white grape varieties.
October: Rain continued into the month of October. Much needed rain throughout the month improved pasture conditions and soil moisture. However, wet soils delayed field activities across the State. Rain impeded peanut, hay, cotton, and corn harvesting. Armyworms continued to plague pastures and hayfields. Growers reported extensive disease in turnip greens. Small grain planting progressed at an above normal pace. Winter grains appeared in good condition. Growers cut and baled hay and overseeded pastures. Farmers harvested pumpkins and planted rye and winter wheat.
November: A cold front and rain moved through the State during the month of November. Rain kept fields moist which slowed planting and harvesting. The weather benefitted soil moisture, but delayed field activities throughout the State. Cooler temperatures produced frost in some areas. Thunderstorms and tornadoes swept through the State mid-month. Most farming activities were postponed. Crop quality and quantity continued to deteriorate. Growers were unable to harvest the last of the season's crops due to inclement weather. Drier weather was needed to work fields, harvest cotton, and plant wheat. Cooler temperatures reduced armyworms and plant disease problems. Winter grains emerged nicely due to timely rains. Hay producers continued to harvest the last cutting of hay for the year.
December: Constant December rains slowed most farming activities for the State. According to David Stooksbury,* State Climatologist, the long-term drought that has impacted Georgia since 1998 is all but over. The State ended the year with more than 90 percent of normal yearly rainfall. Some areas experienced damage due to high winds and extreme cold weather. Wet soil conditions delayed small grain and wheat planting and cotton harvesting. Onion planting was behind schedule due to weather. Ryegrass, small grains, and wheat were damaged from cold weather in some areas. Rains had replenished ponds and streams and added to soil moisture levels. Cotton harvesting approached competition. Rye, wheat, and oat planting progressed nicely. Mild temperatures toward the end of the month improved grazing conditions. In other activities, growers continued winter grazing and routine care of livestock and poultry.
* Dr. David Stooksbury State Climatologist University of Georgia stooks@hoth.engr.uga.edu
September: Rainfall for the beginning of September returned to below normal levels, and ranged from 0.00 to 0.62 inches. Temperatures were near normal. Crop conditions showed little improvement; however, rains helped some peanut and sorghum fields. Tropical storm Hanna provided most of the State with much needed rain during mid-September. Two to three inches of rain was common throughout the State and some areas received more. The rains delayed cotton and peanut harvesting. Pasture and hay conditions improved considerably, but the armyworm infestation continued. At the end of the month, tropical storm Isidore swept across the State. The rains stimulated pasture growth and improved soil moisture conditions and ground water levels. TSWV continued to be a problem for peanut growers. Showers negatively impacted grape harvest. Apple picking continued at a slow pace. Farmers began planting small grains and made preparations for winter crop planting. Producers routinely managed livestock and poultry.
