A MESSAGE FROM COMMISSIONER IRVIN
Dear Georgians:
Although Georgia Agricultural Facts is designed primarily as a reference guide for farmers and agribusiness professionals, those who work in the fields of education, communication, economics, government, and others who rely on accurate agricultural data find it a useful research tool. We urge more of those involved in long-range planning for the development of Georgia's resources to study the data presented in the 2004 Edition of Georgia Agricultural Facts. Our future depends on the interpretation of our history by our present day planners and decision makers.
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.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture is proud to publish Georgia Agricultural Facts 2004 Edition in cooperation with the Georgia Agricultural Statistics Service. 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
I am pleased to present the "2004 Georgia Agricultural Facts," a data picture of the State's over $5 billion industry. As a partner with the Georgia Department of Agriculture, our mission is to provide accurate and timely information to all involved with agriculture. Our greatest assets in this mission are the agricultural producers and agribusinesses who willingly provide these important data to make these publications possible.
The 2002 Census of Agriculture for Georgia and the U.S. are available on our Website. Printed and compact disk versions will be available in the fall of 2004. The release of these data culminates a three year effort of collecting, editing, analyzing, and summarizing these data. The census of agriculture are collected every five years. These data provide a more detailed look at our industry, with most data published at the county level. The census identifies new trends and commodities as this industry continues to grow and change.
I would like to thank Commissioner Irvin and his staff for the publication of these data. The information in this book is used by many and various parts of agriculture; from the producer to the buyer, from the banker to the legislatures that make policy, from the researcher to the equipment and chemical providers. I also thank our professional enumerators who collect these data by phone and personal interview. And, of course, I thank the staff in this office who compiled these data for your use.
Be sure to visit our Website: www.nass.usda.gov/ga/ for your other data needs.
Remember: Georgia counts on Agriculture!
Regards,
David S. Abbe Director

FARM INCOME AND EXPENSES
HIGHLIGHTS - 2003
Georgia's gross farm income for 2003 was $6.75 billion, 13 percent more than 2002. Gross farm income includes cash income, non-cash income, and inventory adjustment. Increases were recorded in both crop and livestock production, while revenues from services and forestry declined. Income increased for all crop and livestock items except for dairy products. Farm inventory adjustments for 2003 crops were a positive $98.4 million compared with a negative $73.1 million last year. The inventory adjustment for livestock was a negative $30.8 million as opposed to a positive $30.0 million in 2002. Farm production expenses decreased 13 percent to $2.65 billion.
Cash receipts from farm marketings totaled $5.25 billion, 17 percent more than 2002. Net government transactions decreased to $441 million in 2003 from $544 million in 2002. Net farm income was 70 percent more than 2002 at $2.92 billion.
CASH RECEIPTS AND DIRECT GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS - 2003
Total cash receipts from the sale of crop and livestock commodities plus the proceeds from direct government payments totaled $5.80 billion, 13 percent above the 2002 level. Poultry and eggs accounted for 44.5 percent of the total; crops accounted for 34.9 percent; livestock excluding poultry 11.1 percent; and direct government payments 9.5 percent.
Cash receipts from poultry continued to be the major contributor during 2003 at $2.58 billion. This was the ninth year in succession that cash receipts for poultry broke the $2.0 billion mark. Broilers continued to rank as Georgia's number one cash receipts commodity. Eggs ranked fourth among all commodities with receipts of $396 million, or 6.8 percent of the total cash receipts including government payments.
Cash receipts from crops in 2003 totaled $2.02 billion, up 28 percent from the $1.59 billion in 2002. Vegetables and melons accounted for 8.0 percent of the total cash receipts with earnings of $465 million, up 15 percent from 2002. This increase moved vegetables and melons into third place ahead of eggs. Cotton placed second in cash receipts at $502 million and accounted for 8.6 percent of the total cash receipts. Peanuts accounted for 5.9 percent of the total with $345 million in cash receipts, up 50 percent from the disastrous crop of 2002. Nursery, greenhouse, and sod cash receipts accounted for 5.0 percent of the total or $292 million, up 9 percent from 2002.
Cash receipts from the sale of livestock excluding poultry totaled $642 million, up 15 percent from 2002, reflecting increases in meat animals. Cattle and calves receipts contributed the most to this category at $329 million, followed by dairy products at $192 million and hogs at $68.8 million. Miscellaneous livestock, including honey, aquaculture, and other livestock, increased 18 percent.
Government payments were down 15 percent from the previous year at $552 million.
FARM PRODUCTION EXPENSES - 2003
Farm production expenses totaled $3.83 billion in 2003, down 10 percent from the $4.23 billion in 2002. Feed purchases at $722 million continued to be the single largest expense, but was a decrease of 26 percent from 2002 as the state received good rains during the year.
Seed purchase expenses decreased 2 percent from last year, to $127 million. Fertilizer and lime expenses were basically unchanged. Pesticide expenses were up 19 percent. Electricity and petroleum fuel and oils decreased 21 percent from 2002. Overall, other intermediate expenses decreased 13 percent. Increases in custom work and marketing, storage and transportation costs were offset by decreases in repair and maintenance, contract labor costs and miscellaneous expenses.
Property taxes combined with motor vehicle registration and licensing fees increased 3 percent to $112 million. Real estate and non-real estate interest rose 2 percent from the previous year to $279 million. Net rent received by non-operator landlords increased 76 percent to $97.3 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

COUNTY ESTIMATES
County level estimates or District level estimates are made for eleven Georgia commodities, including 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.

Wintertime temperatures were near normal to slightly below, while rainfall was above average. During the early part of spring, weather conditions remained wet. Frost covered parts of the State the first week of April, but caused minimal crop damage. April temperatures were below normal. May remained wet, but with near normal temperatures. June brought warmer temperatures, with continued above normal rainfall. Disease became a problem in some row crops. The remainder of the summer continued with above normal rainfall. Overall, temperatures during the summer were well below normal. Yields were excellent for most crops. Around the first part of September weather conditions changed dramatically. The remainder of the fall and early winter were very dry. Weather conditions were excellent for harvesting peanuts and cotton.
COTTON
Cotton planting was virtually complete by the middle of June, near the five-year average. Overall, the crop was in good to excellent condition throughout the growing season. Above normal rainfall and moderate temperatures were very beneficial to the crop. Harvesting weather was excellent. Yields averaged 785 pounds per harvested acre, compared with 557 pounds in 2002. There were 1,290,000 harvested acres from the 1,300,000 acres planted in 2003. This compares with the 1,360,000 acres harvested in 2002. Georgia's production totaled 2,110,000 bales (480 lbs.), up 34 percent from the 1,578,000 produced in 2002. The preliminary price for 2003 cotton lint was 61.4 cents per pound, compared with 44.3 cents per pound in 2002.
CORN The crop thrived from the abundance of rainfall during the growing season. Of the 340,000 planted acres, there were 285,000 acres harvested for grain. Grain yields were 129 bushels per acre, the second highest on record. Grain production totaled 36,765,000 bushels, which is up 15 percent from 2002. Corn was cut for silage from 45,000 acres, up 5,000 acres from 2002. Silage yields averaged 17 tons per acre, the same as the 2002 yield. Preliminary grain prices averaged $2.35 in 2003, compared with $2.70 in 2002.

Prices increased slightly compared with the previous year. The 2003 crop averaged $185.50 per hundredweight (cwt.), compared with $184.50 in 2002. Total value of the 2003 tobacco crop was $110 million compared with $98 million in 2002.
SOYBEANS
Soybean planting got underway about the third week of April. The crop benefitted from the excellent growing conditions with a State record high yield. Final yields averaged 33 bushels per harvested acre, ten bushels more than in 2002. Weather conditions during harvest were excellent. Soybean acreage increased to 190,000 acres planted compared with 160,000 acres in 2002. Harvested acreage was 180,000 acres compared with 140,000 acres in 2002. Georgia's production was 5.94 million bushels, up 84 percent from 2002. Preliminary prices averaged $7.25 per bushel, compared with $5.45 per bushel in 2002.
SORGHUM
Sorghum planted for all purposes amounted to 55,000 acres in 2003, the same as in 2002. Acreage harvested for grain tallied 38,000 acres in 2003, 8,000 acres more than in 2002. Yields averaged 47 bushels per acre and grain production totaled 1.79 million bushels, 49 percent more than in 2002. Prices averaged $2.30 per bushel. Sorghum harvested as silage was 15,000 acres, 5,000 less than in 2002. Silage yields averaged 12 tons per acre, the same as in 2002.

PEANUTS
SMALL GRAINS
Peanut yields in 2003 increased from the previous year to average 3,450 pounds per acre, a State record yield. Above normal rainfall and moderate temperatures during the summer provided for outstanding conditions for an excellent crop. Weather during harvest was good. Production in 2003 totaled 1.86 billion pounds (931,500 tons), up 42 percent from 2002. The production increase resulted from an increase in acreage and higher yields. Planted acreage increased to 545,000 acres, compared with 510,000 acres in 2002. Harvested acreage totaled 540,000 acres in 2003. Georgia produced 45 percent of the Nation's peanuts in 2003.

FRUITS, NUTS, AND VEGETABLES
HIGHLIGHTS - 2003 CROP YEAR
PEACHES
Value of production for most of Georgia's fruit, nut and vegetable crops increased in 2003. Eight of the commodities in the estimating program gained in value from the revised totals of 2002. Prices and value of six vegetable crops, snap beans, sweet corn, onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, and watermelons rose from the previous year. Blueberries and pecans were the only fruit and nut crops with value of production greater than 2002. Price declines for cabbage, cantaloupes, cucumbers, squash, apples and grapes resulted in a decrease in value of production from 2002.
Onions continued as the most valuable vegetable crop in Georgia, at $75 million, and regained the value lost from the lower production in 2002. Pecans remain the number one fruit and nut crop in 2003 with a value of $69.6 million, up 55 percent from 2002. Bell peppers exhibited the largest expansion in value, at $40.5 million, more than double the value of 2002. Production jumped 53 percent from the previous year, while prices gained 50 percent to $30.00 per hundredweight (cwt.). Cabbage value, meanwhile, dropped 60 percent from a year earlier to $15.3 million. Production totaled only 1.27 million cwt., down 57 percent from a year earlier. Prices also declined, averaging $12.00 per cwt., compared with $13.00 in 2002.
ONIONS
Onion production in 2003 rebounded from the diseased plagued crop of 2002, totaling 2.19 million cwt., an increase of 52 percent. Even with above normal rainfall through the harvest season, disease problems were kept to a minimum. A few fields were abandoned because of wet conditions. Planted acreage dropped to 14,000 acres, 700 less than in 2002, while acreage harvested numbered 12,500 acres. This was up 1,000 acres or 9 percent from the previous year. Yield per acre averaged 175 cwt. per acre, compared with the 2002 yield of 125 cwt. Prices continued strong in 2003, averaging $34.30 per cwt., $2.10 more than 2002.
PECANS
Georgia's pecan production totaled 75 million pounds, up 67 percent from the 45 million pounds produced in 2002. In the alternate bearing cycle for pecans, 2003 was the "on year" and trees produced a large nut set in early spring. However, frequent rains through the summer created extensive disease and insect pressures. Growers' attempts at controls were hampered by the rain and cloudy conditions. Scab disease was considered the worst ever. As a result, final production turned out less than earlier expected. Final production of seedling varieties totaled 15 million pounds, five times the three million pounds produced in 2002. Improved varieties reached 60 million pounds, 43 percent above the 42 million pounds in 2002. Georgia continued the leading pecan producing state, with 27 percent of the Nation's production in 2003. Texas remained in second place with 70 million pounds in 2003. Georgia prices declined slightly to 92.8 cents per pound, compared with $1.00 per pound for the 2002 crop.
Peach production in 2003 totaled 110 million pounds in Georgia, 22 percent more than the revised 2002 total. Utilized production, the amount sold plus the quantities used at home or held in storage, gained 26 percent to 106 million pounds. Above normal rainfall provided for good fruit size, and producers were able to keep diseases under control. Georgia's total production ranked 2nd to California in 2003 with South Carolina's production 3rd. Because of the expanded production, Georgia's marketing year prices slumped to 28 cents per pound, down 10.3 cents per pound from 2002. The value of production amounted to $29.6 million, 92 percent of the revised 2002 value of $32.1 million. Acreage and yield revisions were made to 2000, 2001 and 2002 crops based on the latest Census of Agriculture.
TOMATOES
Tomato production in 2003 totaled 1.53 million cwt., 8 percent less than the revised production of 2002. Harvested acres dropped 18 percent or 1,000 acres from 2002 to 4,500 acres, while planted acres slid 400 acres to 5,300. Yields, however, improved from 2002 to average 340 cwt. per acre, a gain of 13 percent. Prices also recovered from 2002, averaging $31.50 per cwt., a jump of $11.50 per cwt. The value of production amounted to $48.2 million, making tomatoes the second most valuable vegetable crop in Georgia in 2003.
SWEET CORN
Production of sweet corn totaled 2.8 million cwt. in 2003, 10 percent less than a year earlier. Although planted acres, at 26,000, remained unchanged from 2002, harvested acres amounted to only 20,000, 5,000 less than the previous year. Above normal rainfall hindered harvest and interrupted pesticide applications. Yield per harvested acre averaged 140 cwt., compared with 125 cwt. per acre in 2002. Prices improved to $16.50 per cwt., up $2.50 from the previous year and the highest on record. This allowed the value of production to reach $46.2 million, 6 percent more than in 2002. Georgia's acreage and production continued the 4th highest in the country, behind Florida, New York, and California.
WATERMELONS
Value of production of watermelons in 2003 climbed to $41.9 million, an increase of 23 percent from the revised totals of 2002. This boost in value results from a record price of $7.80 per cwt., $1.20 more than the previous high in 1995. Production dropped off to 5.38 million cwt., 8 percent less than 2002's revised production. Yields averaged 215 cwt. per acre, down 16 percent from the 255 cwt. yield in 2002. Planted acres totaled 26,500 for 2003, 7 percent more than the previous year. Acreage harvested, at 25,000 acres, gained 9 percent or 2,000 acres from 2002. Georgia ranked 2nd to Texas in the number of planted and harvested watermelon acres in 2003.

GENERAL
2003 CROP WEATHER SUMMARY
January: The new year came in with cold temperatures. The drought that plagued Georgia since 1998, was declared over by David Stooksbury, state climatologist. Although crop damage was minimal, the extreme cold damaged small grains and delayed winter grazing. Vidalia onion fields suffered minor damage due to the weather. Below normal temperatures created a significant decrease in pest populations.
February: February brought considerable amounts of rain to the State. Reports of three to six inches within a week, were not uncommon. Showers coupled with warmer temperatures helped small grains, pastures and onions. Overall crop conditions improved. Field activities were delayed due to wet conditions.
March: March brought even more rain to Georgia. Rainfall was well above normal. Soil moisture, in most places, was adequate to surplus. Peaches began blooming, carrots were being harvested and crop conditions were generally good. Again, various field activities were delayed because of wet fields.
April: Heavy rains continued into April. Frost covered parts of the State the first week but caused minimal damage. Despite showers, producers were able to plant crops and spray fungicides and herbicides on fields and pastures. Some corn and tobacco were planted between showers. Cooler temperatures stressed vegetables and disease threatened wheat. Late in the month, wind damage was evident in southwest Georgia and watermelons were replanted due to poor stands. Vidalia Onion harvest began, as did harvest of early varieties of blueberries.
May: Severe weather threatened north Georgia in the early part of May. Thunderstorms and tornadoes postponed farming activities. Fields flooded and cut hay was ruined. Producers continued planting cotton, peanuts, soybeans, sorghum and tobacco. Excessive rainfall hurt hay and wheat fields. Warm temperatures are needed to dry out fields.
June: June brought warmer temperatures. Disease was found in tobacco and watermelon fields in south Georgia. Rain continued and delayed hay cutting and field activities. Pecan producers discovered scab and spittle bugs in the pecan orchards. Small grain conditions declined due to wet conditions. Fields were too wet to spray herbicides and weeds became a problem. Excessive rainfall created disease problems in seedling cotton and leaf spot in peanuts. Weather permitting, producers applied herbicides and fungicides to peanuts, nitrogen to cotton, and insecticides to tobacco. Late in the month, producers returned to field work with the onset of drier weather.
hit again with rain. Hay condition continued to decline. Tobacco harvest progressed normally.
August: Lightning caught hay fields and trees on fire in early August. Thunderstorms brought more rain and delayed tobacco and corn harvest. Rain hindered applications of growth regulators on cotton and fungicide applications on peanuts. Boll rot became a problem and insect pressure continued to build in cotton fields. Mid month, scattered showers allowed for some field work to be done. Herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers were applied to crops. The end of August brought much needed dry weather. Crop conditions improved dramatically. Hay and tobacco harvest continued with little rain interruption.
September: Widely scattered showers returned to some parts of the State the first week of September. Crops benefitted from hot, sunny weather in other parts. Land preparation for fall planting continued. Cattlemen started seeding winter grazing. Dry weather continued much of the month. Rain was needed to plant small grains. Peanuts were dug and combined, cotton was defoliated and pecans were harvested. Rain came the last week of September. Corn and grape harvest neared completion. Fungicides and pesticides continued to be applied to a variety of crops.
October: Dry weather returned the first week of October, bringing ideal harvest conditions. Hay feeding to livestock increased as pasture condition continued to decline. Dry weather was harmful to late planted cotton and soybeans. Growers continued to defoliate cotton, dig peanuts, and harvest pecans. Squash and snap beans were harvested and apple harvest was nearing completion.
November: November started with mild temperatures and much needed rain. Small grains and winter grazing benefitted greatly from the moisture. Peanut, cotton and corn harvest continued. Bermuda pasture condition improved with warm temperatures and rain. Small grain and winter grazing continued benefitting from the rain.
December: Rain and cold temperatures in early December slowed field activities. Heavy frost covered some areas. Winter grazing and small grain growth were limited by cooler temperatures. Peanut and cotton harvest neared completion. Vidalia onion planting began in central Georgia.

July: Tropical storm Bill brought more rain to Georgia the first week of July. High winds and excessive rain damaged crops. Increased foliage disease was apparent and corn fields suffered wind damage. Scab and spittlebug remained a problem in pecan orchards. Insect pressure increased in cotton and corn was infested with southern corn leaf blight and rust. A mid-month dry out improved overall crop conditions. Late in the month, producers were
