Dear Data User:
With the completion of another production year, it is once again time to publish the 2007 edition of "Georgia Agricultural Facts." This publication compiles valuable and relevant information about the state's number one industry, namely agriculture. Current and historical agricultural data are presented at both the state and county levels. It is important to note the publication is the result of our partnership and long-standing cooperation with the Georgia Department of Agriculture.
This report is possible because Georgia's farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses voluntarily report survey data throughout the year. We know everyone's time is valuable and we appreciate the commitment and sacrifice made to participate in our surveys. A simple thank you to these respondents seems so inadequate. However, we feel that defensible and relevant information about the state's agriculture production is worth the investment.
We also want to thank the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension and USDA Farm Service Center staffs for assisting us with additional information and support in preparing these statistics.
Accurate and timely data are essential for good decision making and a healthy agriculture industry. Information contained in this publication and on the Internet will assist producers and industry officials in making the best possible decisions even with the uncertainty of factors like weather, production input costs, market conditions, farm policy, consumer expectations and international trade. It is our mission to ensure that Georgia producers are equipped with the best available data to address these and other issues.
Thanks go to our office staff and our National Association of State Departments of Agriculture field staff for their dedication in providing quality agricultural statistics for Georgia. The staff of the Georgia Field Office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA, is committed to serving your agricultural data needs. Do not hesitate to contact us with your comments, questions, or requests for assistance.
As we look ahead, we focus on the significance of the upcoming 2007 Census of Agriculture. Data collection will begin in January 2008 with information published in February 2009. Your support and positive response to this collection every five years is most important. The Agriculture Census is your future, your voice, and your responsibility.
Sincerely,
Douglas G. Kleweno Director
A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMISSIONER
Dear Fellow Georgians:
The Georgia Department of Agriculture takes great pride in publishing the Georgia Agricultural Facts 2007 Edition. This is made possible through cooperation with the Georgia Field Office of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Agricultural Statistics Service. The Georgia Field Office collects and updates data for our state and also provides the current information online at http://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/G eorgia/index.asp.
Agriculture is constantly influenced by changes in technology, the economy, the weather, governmental decisions, and other entities beyond the farmer's control. Accurate information and statistics are key factors in helping farmers make decisions and adapt to these changing conditions. That is why the work of the National Agricultural Statistics Service is so important and why we are proud to publish this valuable research and reference guide.

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 `Combined 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.

2006 Crop Weather Summary
January: Temperatures were unseasonably warm in January. Weather extremes contributed to a decline in pasture condition by limiting the pastures' ability to combat diseases. The rains and high temperatures improved small grains and onions. Preparation and decisions for spring planting got underway. Other activities included mowing cotton stalks, harrowing fields, commercial garden pea planting, onion planting, soil testing and lime application, spreading poultry litter on cropland, the completion of vineyard pruning, and the routine care of poultry and livestock.
February: Although February was drier than January, most areas of the state received about a day of measurable precipitation each week. Wet field conditions limited work in the fields, and mud in the pastures presented a problem at many dairy and beef cattle farms. Pasture conditions improved during the second half of February, in light of the colder temperatures helping combat insect infestations. Small grains continued to improve. Activities included soil testing, field preparations for spring planting, lime and fertilizer applications, top and side dressing of small grains, cabbage transplanting, Vidalia onion harvest, turning cotton stalks, and the routine care of poultry and livestock.
March: March began with dry and warm conditions. Precipitation increased as the month progressed. The beginning of the month found cool season vegetables doing well. The onion crop was reported to look good and harvest was expected to begin by the end of the month. Cabbage and small grains were also thriving. Peaches began to bloom statewide. Corn planting, field preparation, and pasture fertilization were some of the activities that took place in March. Other common activities included the routine care of poultry and livestock, pasture weed control, tobacco transplanting, and spraying fungicide on wheat.
April: The weather was warm and there was little rain in April. The second weekend of April brought some light to moderate rain across the state, with sporadic hail and wind damage in Southeast Georgia. Hail damage was reported for cucumbers, watermelons, and cabbage. The lack of rain was a concern for growers. Corn growers began early irrigation and reported skips in emerging plants as a result of the month's dry weather. Pastures, peaches, and tobacco transplants also suffered. Some cotton growers were waiting for more rain to begin planting, while others began the process despite dry soil. Corn and watermelon planting progressed this month. Farmers prepared land for peanuts, cotton and soybeans. Other activities included harvesting onions and blueberries, spraying wheat and pecans with fungicides, setting out
tobacco and peppers, fertilizing pastures and hayfields, pasture weed control, hay feeding for livestock, planting tomatoes on plastic, and the routine care of poultry and livestock.
May: Lack of soil moisture in April left crops, pastures, and hayfields suffering from drought stress. Fortunately, scattered rain arrived with the first days of May and this began to relieve the dry conditions. Pastures and hayfields began to green-up, but needed more rain to improve grazing conditions. Some growers chose to plant peanuts instead of cotton so they could take advantage of moisture in deeper soil. Cold temperatures during the end of month slowed turf greening, increased incidents of powdery mildew on ornamentals, and delayed forage harvest. Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus was reported in tobacco. Thrips were a problem for snap beans, cotton, peanuts, and vegetables. Row crops, fruits, and vegetables were irrigated. Corn planting was completed, and cotton planting was in full swing. Other activities for May included preparing land and harvesting blueberries, hay, small grains, onions, and other commercial vegetables.
June: Hot and dry was the story for Georgia this June. Rain was sporadic throughout the month. Tropical Storm Alberto brought some rain to the southern districts of the state, but it was not enough to ease drought conditions. Water levels fell and wind reduced soil moisture. The drought conditions forced growers to irrigate crops, delay planting cotton and peanuts, and reduce cattle herds. Livestock were not able to graze because the dry conditions stunted pasture growth. Drought prevented weed control in some fields and caused corn yields to suffer. Thrips were a problem in cotton, peanuts, and vegetables. Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus damaged tobacco. Other activities included harvesting wheat and other small grains, onions, squash, sweet corn, watermelons, blueberries, and peppers, completing cotton and peanut planting, and topping and suckering tobacco.
July: Summer showers were welcomed in July, but overall conditions remained hot and dry. Crop, pasture, and hayfield conditions declined due to the heat and drought. Farmers were forced to irrigate where possible. Hay shortage was critical in some areas. Tropical soda apple was spotted in central Georgia. Pigweed was reported in some cotton and peanut fields. Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus continued to damage tobacco. Growers applied herbicides and fungicides to peanuts and cotton. Harvest of corn for silage, tobacco, and watermelons was active. Other activities included mowing pastures, topping and suckering tobacco, and preparing land for planting fall crops.
2006 USDA, NASS, GEORGIA FIELD OFFICE
August: August brought scorching temperatures and scattered showers to the state. Crop conditions varied with precipitation totals. Dead pegs were reported in dryland peanuts as a result of the hot, dry conditions. Hay condition was poor to fair, while soybeans, irrigated corn, and irrigated peanuts were reportedly in good condition. Reports of pests and disease affecting peanuts, tobacco, cotton, pastures, and hayfields were common. Farmers sprayed hayfields in an attempt to control the growing insect population. Other activities included harvesting tobacco and corn, planting cucumbers and fall green beans, preparing Vidalia onion seed beds, and preparing fields for fall crops.
September: Rain and colder temperatures characterized the month of September. Tropical Storm Ernesto provided most of the state with much needed rain during the beginning of the month. Soil moisture conditions improved, but year-to-date rainfall totals remained below normal. Late planted and irrigated fields were in the best condition. Disease and pests remained a concern for producers of cotton and peanuts. Pastures and hayfields experienced severe armyworm infestations. Harvest of tobacco, corn, cotton, sorghum, pumpkins, and grapes was active. Other activities included planting Vidalia onions, checking peanut maturity, planting small grains, and the routine care of poultry and livestock.
October: October was cool with little rainfall. Dry soils delayed fall planting. Lack of rain and cooler temperatures stalled forage growth. Cattle producers were baling peanut hay, cornstalks, and weeds to make up for the short hay supply. Peanut producers reported a variety of problems with this year's crop. Harvest was behind schedule due to dry soils and delayed maturity. Signs of disease and heat damage were reported. Peg strength was weak as a result of the summer heat and drought. Peanut yields and grades were low. Better than anticipated cotton yields resulted from the prolonged hot, dry weather. Pecan yields were reportedly lower than normal. Harvest of hay, cotton, sorghum, peanuts, corn, pecans, and squash was active. Other activities included transplanting onions, planting small grains, hay feeding, and mowing cotton stalks.
November: It was a cold and dry beginning to November, but the weather conditions at the end of the month were warm and wet. The rain improved crop conditions for small grains and fall vegetables. Frosts during the month hurt pastures and unharvested cotton. Cooler temperatures followed by wet conditions delayed peanut digging and combining. Hay supplies were short. Livestock producers continued supplemental feeding of hay, cotton seed, and gin trash. Harvest was underway for apples, cabbage, cotton, and peanuts. Other activities included transplanting onions, winter wheat planting, mowing cotton stalks, applying fertilizer and
poultry litter to small grains, equipment maintenance, and the routine care of livestock and poultry. December: Georgia experienced a rollercoaster of temperature fluctuations during the month of December. Very little rainfall was reported this month and soil moisture conditions shifted from mostly adequate to mostly short as the month progressed. Producers spent time planting small grains and winter grazing, completing the cotton harvest, and clearing cotton fields. Quality of cotton that was harvested this month was better than expected. Many farmers hoped the early warm spell would rejuvenate fescue pastures and help winter rye, wheat, and oats. However, the bitter cold midmonth took its toll on pastures and ended the fall vegetable harvest. Hay supplies were short and winter grazing growth was slow due to the lack of rainfall. Producers continued supplemental feeding of cattle. Most of the Vidalia onion crop was planted successfully.

HIGHLIGHTS -- 2006 CROP YEAR
The year started out warmer than normal, but by Spring temperatures became more near normal. January was wetter than normal, but by Spring dry weather took control. June and July was hot and dry. During mid June, Tropical Storm Alberto brought needed rains to the major growing areas in South Georgia. Small grain harvesting progress was well ahead of normal. Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus plagued the tobacco crop. By mid August, rainfall had become more numerous and benefited some crops more than originally thought. The fall brought dry conditions, while temperatures were near normal. September was cooler than normal, while rainfall was near normal. Weather during the fall made for excellent harvesting conditions.
COTTON Cotton planting was virtually complete by the middle of June, near the five-year average. Overall, the crop was in fair to good condition throughout the growing season. The dry early and mid summer months had an adverse effect on the crop, but late summer rains benefited the crop more than earlier thought. Harvesting progress was ahead of normal due to the dry fall.

FRUITS, NUTS, AND VEGETABLES
HIGHLIGHTS - 2006 CROP YEAR The value of production of most of Georgia's fruit, nut and vegetable crops in 2006 increased over the previous year. Ten of the fifteen crops in the estimating program gained in value from 2005, as production improved on 10 of those crops. Only cabbage, sweet corn, apples, grapes and pecans failed to reach the production levels of the previous year. Onions rebounded from the poor crop of 2005 with a forty eight percent increase in production to 3.26 million hundredweight (cwt.). Despite a 15 percent decline in average price, value of production still reached $82 million, the most valuable fruit, nut, and vegetable crop in Georgia. Blueberries showed the largest gain in value with an eighty-eight percent jump from the previous year to $59.8 million. This was the result of a 21 percent improvement in utilized production along with a 56 percent boost in price. Tomatoes' value of production totaled $77.8 million, an increase of 4 percent from 2005, and the second most valuable vegetable crop in 2006. Pecans, normally the leading fruit and nut crop in Georgia, suffered from dry weather in 2006 and as a result, value dropped to $66.3 million, 35 percent less than the previous year.
ONIONS Onion production in 2006 totaled 3.26 million cwt., up 48 percent from the off year in 2005. Yields averaged a record 310 cwt. per acre, 19 percent higher than the previous high of 260 cwt. in 2004. Acreage harvested totaled 10,500, the same as in 2005, from 14,000 acres planted. Many growers did not harvest all their crop because of depressed prices and in some cases labor shortages. Prices averaged $25.20 per cwt., compared with $29.70 in 2005. Value of production totaled $82.0 million, an increase of 25 percent from the previous year and the most valuable vegetable crop produced in Georgia in 2006.
than 2004.
PECANS Georgia's pecan production in 2006 dropped to 42 million pounds, only 53 percent of the 80 million pounds produced in 2005 and the smallest production since the 40 million pounds produced in 1998. In the alternate bearing cycle for pecans, 2006 was an "off year" for production. In addition, trees were stressed by dry conditions in the fall of 2005 and spring of 2006 and consequently very few nuts were set. With the decrease in production, prices gained 31 cents per pound from 2005 to $1.58, second to the record price of $1.73 in 2004. Value of production dropped to $66.3 million, only 65 percent of the previous years' record high value of $101 million. Seedling varieties totaled six million pounds, compared with 8 million pounds in 2005. Improved varieties amounted to 36 million pounds, only half of the 72 million pounds produced in 2005. Georgia's production in 2006 dropped to the third highest in the Nation, falling behind Texas' 47 million pounds and New Mexico's 46 million pounds.
SWEET CORN Despite a record number of acres planted and harvested in Georgia, sweet corn production in 2006 dropped 6 percent from 2005 to 3.41million cwt. Dry weather during the spring and fall crops reduced yield to 110 cwt. per acre, the lowest since 1993. Planted and harvested acres were both up 2 thousand from 2005 to 32,000 and 31,000 acres, respectively. Prices averaged $20.60 per cwt, down $1.30 per cwt from 2005, but still the second highest on record. Value of production amounted to $70.2 million, 12 percent less than the previous high in 2005, but still the third most valuable vegetable crop in 2006. Georgia's sweet corn production continued as the third highest in the Nation, exceeded only by Florida and California.
TOMATOES Tomato production in Georgia reached a record 2.16 million cwt. in 2006, one percent more than the previous high in 2005. Although planted and harvested acreage declined slightly from 2005, yields improved to 360 cwt. per acre, up 6 percent from 2005. Prices also improved from a year earlier, averaging $36.00 per cwt, up a dollar from 2005, but $9.00 per cwt less than in 2004. This put the value of production at $77.8 million, 4 percent more than 2005 and the second most valuable vegetable crop in 2006.
BLUEBERRIES Blueberry production continued to expand rapidly with 2006 setting records for harvested acres, yield, production, price and value. Acres harvested totaled 7,000 in 2006, a jump of 17 percent from the previous high in 2005. Yields averaged 4,500 pounds per acre, 170 pounds more than 2005 and 120 pounds more than the previous record in 2004. Total and utilized production both amounted to 31.5 million pounds, 21 percent more than the previous high in 2005. Prices were exceptional in 2006, averaging $1.90 per pound, up 56 percent from the previous high of $1.22 in 2005. Value of production totaled $59.8 million, a jump of 88 percent from a year earlier and two and half times more
WATERMELONS Two thousand six was another good year for watermelon production as acreage, yield, production, price and value all exceeded 2005. Planted acres totaled 31,000, up 11 percent or 3,000 acres from 2005 and the largest planted acreage since 1996. Harvested acres, at 29,000, increased by 4,000 acres or 16 percent from 2005. Yields averaged 235 cwt. per acre, 12 percent better than the 2005 yield of 210 cwt. Prices reached a record $8.00 per cwt, just surpassing the previous high of $7.90 in 2005. As a result, value of production totaled a record $54.5 million, an increase of 31 percent from 2005 and 17 percent above the previous record of $46.5 million in 1995.
PEACHES Georgia's peach production in 2006 totaled 41 thousand tons, compared with 40 thousand in 2005, an increase of 3 percent. Utilized production, the amount sold plus the quantities used at home or held in storage, remained unchanged from 2005 at 37 thousand tons. Bearing age acreage, at 11,500, equaled 2005, but was 500 acres less than 2004. Yield improved slightly to 3.57 tons per acre, compared with 3.48 tons in 2005. Prices averaged $892 per ton, a 20 percent increase from in 2005. Georgia's total and utilized peach

The inventory adjustment for livestock was a negative $12.2 million as opposed to a negative $27.3 million in 2005. Farm production expenses (purchased inputs) increased 9 percent to $4.04 billion.
Cash receipts from farm marketings (value of crop and livestock production minus the value of home consumption and inventory adjustments) totaled $6.01 billion, down 3% percent from 2005. Net government transactions decreased $193 million in 2006 to $352 million. Net farm income was 17 percent less than 2005 at $2.37 billion.

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.
