Number range CHAPTER**2005-06 SEASON VEGETABLES HIGHLIGHTS**

**[Value]{.smallcaps}**

The 2005-06 value of production for the seven major vegetable crops,
potatoes, berries and watermelons totaled \$1,637,498,000, down twelve
percent from the revised 2004-05 value of \$1,859,838,000. All crops,
except for sweet corn, cucumbers, potatoes, strawberries and blueberries
showed decreases in the value of production from the previous season's
value. This is partly attributed to damage caused by Hurricane Wilma to
the fall 2005 vegetable crops and damage from a freeze in February 2006.
Sweet corn and potatoes showed increases of 9 and 29 percent,
respectively. The value for cucumbers remained virtually unchanged from
the previous season.

**[Acreage]{.smallcaps}**

Harvested acreage of the seven major vegetable crops, potatoes, berries
and watermelons, totaled 199,200 acres during the 2005-06 season, down
20,700 acres or nine percent from the 219,900 acres harvested during the
2004-05 season. Acreage harvested declined for snap beans, cabbage,
sweet corn, cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, watermelons and potatoes.
Acreage harvested increased for squash and blueberries. Strawberry
acreage showed no change from the previous season.

Acreage double cropped was counted twice for the estimates, but acreage
abandoned before maturity due to natural causes and acreage reaching
maturity but not harvested due to economic reasons were excluded.
Economic abandonment was limited to economic factors such as low prices,
shortages of labor, transportation, containers and packing facilities,
marketing order decisions affecting size, grade or cullage, and
interruptions of the normal market flow. Economic abandonment did not
include the usual trimming and grading losses, which occur during
harvesting and packing.

**[Production]{.smallcaps}**

Cabbage, sweet corn, cucumbers, bell pepper, squash, tomatoes, and
potato production for 2005-06 all showed declines in production from the
previous season, while the production of snap beans, watermelons,
strawberries, and blueberries increased. The 2005-06 yield per acre
decreased for cabbage, cucumbers, squash, tomatoes, but improved for
snap beans, sweet corn, bell peppers, potatoes, watermelons,
strawberries and blueberries.

**[Weather]{.smallcaps}**

Hot temperatures during **July**, **August** and **September** **2005**
boosted plant growth and fruit development. In early July, rain and
wind, caused by Tropical Storm Cindy passing off the eastern coast and
Hurricane Dennis churning in the Gulf of Mexico, delayed some land
preparation for fall crop planting. Abundant rainfall over the Quincy
area slowed tomato planting in July causing the start of harvest to be
delayed by one to two weeks. Clearer weather between sporadic showers,
during the rest of July and most of August, let producers keep most
field preparation and planting on schedule. In late July, muddy fields
prevented some field preparations around Immokalee. Limited tomato
planting began in southern Hillsborough County around mid-August. By
mid-to-late month, squash and watermelon planting was active around Lake
Placid while eggplant, pepper and tomato planting was underway in the
Immokalee area. Acreage in the Quincy area was virtually all planted by
the third week of August with some late plantings causing harvest to
last for a longer than usual time.

Dade County crops suffered significant damage as Katrina passed over on
August 25 with flooding hampering okra harvesting. Some Dade County
growers cut as much okra as possible before the storm arrived. Rain and
wind beat tomato plants in the Quincy area, resulting in some yield
loss. Elsewhere, over the southern Peninsula, a few producers delayed
some planting due to the threat of damage from Katrina. However, the
Immokalee and Palmetto-Ruskin regions suffered no significant harm from
the storm. By early September, tomato acreage in the Quincy area was in
good condition as cooler temperatures slowed some growth. Some planting
and other field work was postponed around Hastings, Stuart and Jupiter
due to the threat of Tropical Storm Ophelia in early September. Drier
conditions around mid-September speeded the laying of plastic and
planting in all production regions, and allowed the tomato crop around
Quincy to improve from previous rain damages. In late September, strong,
gusty winds from Hurricane Rita blew plastic off some Dade County fields
which delayed planting by about half a week.

About one percent of the winter tomato acreage had been transplanted
around Homestead when Rita passed. Surplus soil moisture supplies
delayed some sweet corn planting around Lake Okeechobee and in Dade
County. Less rainfall from Rita around Immokalee, Plant City, Palmetto
and Ruskin allowed planting to remain mostly on schedule. Heavier
rainfall around Quincy interrupted some tomato pruning and tying as the
picking of grape types got underway.

By early **October**, strawberry growers around Plant City were
preparing ground and laying plastic for winter crop transplanting and
producers around Hastings started planting cabbage. Cucumber and bell
pepper harvesting in the southern Peninsula started by early October
with very light amounts available. Tomato picking in the Palmetto-Ruskin
region and around Quincy started in late September and early October.
Storms during the first days of October, caused by the remnants of
Hurricane Rita, delayed some planting in the central and southern
Peninsula. In the Hastings area, drier conditions allowed cabbage
planting to continue on schedule. Okra cutting continued throughout the
month in Dade County and pickle harvesting got underway in the central
and southern Peninsula. Tomato harvesting was active all month around
the Quincy area. Drier conditions in some central and southern Peninsula
areas allowed planting and harvesting to stay mostly on schedule.
However, saturated soils in Miami-Dade County delayed some planting.
Snap bean, squash and sweet corn picking got underway by mid-month with
very light amounts available. In St. Johns County, rains from Tropical
Storm Tammy and sea breeze clashes accounted for an abundance of rain
throughout the area, which suspended cabbage planting until fields dried
out a little. The dry weather that followed, coupled with plenty of
sunshine allowed planting to progress on schedule in most areas. By
mid-October, saturated fields from continuous rains in parts of Dade
County further delayed fall crop planting by two weeks. Strawberry
transplanting remained active in the Plant City area. The last week in
October ended with a pause in most planting and harvesting over the
Peninsula due to the passage of Hurricane Wilma. With maximum sustained
winds estimated to be near 105 knots, Hurricane Wilma crossed the
southern Peninsula in 4.5 hours on October 24. The center of this storm
emerged into the Atlantic just southeast of Jupiter; however, winds had
decreased to near 95 knots during the crossing of the State. The storm
damaged several vegetable fields across the southern Peninsula as it
made landfall. Harvesting was curtailed in many areas across the central
and southern Peninsula due to storm damage or saturated fields. A lack
of labor hindered the salvaging of transplants, which delayed scheduled
planting in some areas. Around Immokalee, some snap beans, sweet corn
and watermelons were at 100 percent loss with only a minimal amount of
squash salvaged. In Manatee County, some fruit from tomato vines and
plants looked wind-whipped. Growers continued to plant cabbage in St.
Johns County. Producers marketed light supplies of snap beans,
cucumbers, eggplant, okra, peppers, squash, tomatoes and watermelons
during the rest of the month.

Dry weather during the first week of **November** around Immokalee and
Homestead helped drain fields saturated by Wilma's rains and allowed
tomatoes to recover in Manatee County. However, there were significant
delays in the production of all vegetables for most southern Peninsula
areas. The following crops and areas suffered heavy damages and losses:
okra, sweet corn, snap beans and tomatoes in Miami-Dade County; most
bean fields south of Lake Okeechobee; almost all sweet corn around Lake
Okeechobee; and peppers, watermelons and tomatoes in the Immokalee area.
Producers in areas affected by Wilma continued salvaging older plants
and replanting lost acreage with some activity hindered by a lack of
labor. Very light amounts of sweet corn, snap beans, watermelons,
cucumbers, peppers, squash and eggplant were available from other
central and northern areas with modest amounts of tomatoes harvested
around Quincy and in other central Peninsula production regions.
Producers harvested vegetables while trying to meet the Thanksgiving Day
demand. Drier weather in the central and southern Peninsula allowed
fieldwork to progress at a normal pace and allowed some saturated fields
in the southern Peninsula to drain. Okra harvesting slowed due to
extensive storm damage around the Miami-Dade County area, but started
back up with very light amounts available by the latter part of
November.

A cold front swept the State after the passage of Wilma bringing record
low temperatures to some localities. Strawberry growers around Plant
City and Dover welcomed the cooler temperatures, which enhanced berry
development. Picking of a reduced volume of tomatoes in the Quincy area
was nearly completed when temperatures plunged to near freezing. Tomato
harvesting in the central and southern Peninsula areas increased
seasonally. A very light volume of sweet corn was also picked in
northern and central Peninsula localities. At the end of November,
harvesting gained momentum over the central and southern Peninsula with
the volume of cucumbers, peppers and tomatoes increasing. Strawberry
picking got underway in the Plant City area.

**December** started with showers in the Immokalee and Palmetto-Ruskin
areas slowing some planting and harvesting. Dry, clear weather for most
areas throughout the rest of December allowed planting and harvesting to
proceed at a normal pace with growers shipping crops for the holiday
market. Potato land preparations became active in central and southern
Peninsula areas. The harvesting of endive, escarole, Romaine lettuce,
radishes and cabbage started with only very light supplies available. A
very light amount of strawberries were also marketed from the Plant City
and Dover areas where picking slowly gained momentum. Other vegetables
available included snap beans, peppers, squash and tomatoes, and very
light amounts of sweet corn, eggplant and okra. Significant rains in the
Hastings area slowed some cabbage cutting. Also, adverse weather
significantly slowed the celery crop around Lake Okeechobee with no
significant amount available until late December. Cool temperatures
slowed some plant development at the end of the month as growers paused
to observe the holidays.

Dry conditions allowed planting and harvesting to progress on schedule
for most of **January** and **February**. However, mostly cool
temperatures during the two months slowed crop growth. Most vegetable
and strawberry producers provided protection to crops when cold weather
arrived just before mid-January. Producers covered some plants with
cloths and irrigated crops to minimize frost damage. Most acreage showed
no significant damage although the cold singed a few acres. Potato
growers reported no significant damage from this cold snap. Around
Quincy, fall crop tomato picking finished in early January and land
preparations for the spring crop started after mid-month. In early
February, substantial rains slowed planting and harvesting. In
mid-February, a cold front swept the State and set record lows. Areas
from the Panhandle down to the southern Peninsula experienced hard
freezes and frosts. These cold temperatures damaged and destroyed a
significant amount of the sweet corn acreage with producers replanting
only part of the losses. Snap bean leaves turned brown in fields not
protected from these cold conditions. This cold also harmed some
tomatoes. However, cucumbers escaped significant damage with growers
using freeze cloths and overhead sprinklers to save the crop. Cabbage in
the Hastings areas also, was not affected by the cold. Potato digging
around Lake Okeechobee and in the Immokalee and Palmetto-Ruskin areas
became active during February and northern Peninsula producers started
land preparations for watermelon planting.

Dry conditions during **March** allowed planting and harvesting to zoom
ahead. Cabbage cutting reached peak levels in early March as producers
met the St. Patrick's Day demand. Watermelon transplanting started in
the northern Peninsula around mid-March. Strong winds tossed plants and
wind-borne sand bruised some fruit when storms passed over southern
Peninsula growing area near the end of March. However, no significant
damage was reported. The rains washed away some pesticides but fields
dried quickly after the storms which help limit any increase in disease.
Tomato transplanting for the spring crop harvest got underway around
Quincy with the earlier cool temperatures causing no significant damage
to the small plants. Strawberry growers started to open fields to the
U-Pic market as production in other states increased.

Warmer temperatures arrived by early **April** which hindered strawberry
fruit development. In early April, vegetable harvesting remained active
in central and southern Peninsula areas as growers started to satisfy
the mid-April holiday demand. The continued dry conditions led to some
insect and disease problems in Dade County, but lowered the incidence of
disease in some northern and Panhandle fields. Blueberry harvesting got
underway in central Peninsula areas with a very light volume available.
Potato growers in the Hastings area continued to plant with some acreage
double-cropped following the cabbage harvest. Watermelon growers
finished planting in some Panhandle areas as harvesting gained momentum
across the southern Peninsula. Tomato producers in the Palmetto-Ruskin
area started picking about mid-April as transplanting ended around
Quincy. Cabbage cutting slowed seasonally in late April. Hot
temperatures during the last half of April reduced the quality of leafy
greens, such as endive, escarole, lettuce and parsley with harvesting
slowing. Okra cutting gained momentum in Dade County and strawberry
picking was completed in the Plant City area by the end of the month.

Mostly dry conditions and normal temperatures persisted throughout
**May**. By the first of May, watermelon vines started setting fruit in
Jefferson County and potato digging was underway in the Hastings region.
Quincy area tomatoes were in good condition and cantaloupe harvesting
started in southern Peninsula areas by early May. Celery cutting was
virtually complete by mid-month. Squash harvesting slowed seasonally by
late month, but remained very active in Washington County through the
end of the month. Snap bean picking in the central and southern
Peninsula neared completion by the end of May. Growers in Washington
County combated Spotted Wilt Virus infestations in some tomato fields
during the month.

A truck shortage hampered the movement of crops during the last half of
May and into **June**. Dry, hot weather limited plant growth during the
first part of June. Watermelon harvesting in the Panhandle gained
momentum in early June. Watermelon fields were in good condition in
Jackson County with disease infestations at a low level. Dryland
watermelons in the Panhandle suffered from continued drought. Tropical
Storm Alberto formed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico and traveled
northward off the western coast in early June. The cyclone intensified
and reached its peak intensity of 60 knots and a minimum pressure of 995
millibars about 100 nautical miles south of Apalachicola, Florida on
June 13. During the same day, the cyclone weakened as it moved toward
the coast and made landfall with 40-knot winds near Adams Beach,
Florida. Alberto continued toward the northeast, farther inland and
weakened. Rains from the storm helped ease drought conditions over the
Peninsula but slowed some harvesting activities. Quincy area tomato
growers reported no significant damages from the storm. Most potato
producers in the Hastings area finished field work before the storm
could hamper digging. Okra harvesting was active by mid-month in Dade
County as potato digging progressed ahead of schedule in Putnam County.
Watermelon picking remained active throughout the month. By the end of
June, most vegetable harvests slowed seasonally in the central and
southern Peninsula.

Hot temperatures and rainy conditions over the central and southern
Peninsula during the first half of **July** brought virtually all
harvesting to a halt in the area. However, Dade County producers
continued to cut okra throughout the month. Tomato picking slowed in the
Quincy area but remained active until the end of the month with very
light supplies marketed.
