Fresh market vegetable and melon production for the 24 selected crops 
estimated in 2008 totaled 449 million hundredweight, down 2 percent from last 
year.  Harvested area covered 1.73 million acres, down 3 percent from 2007.

the highest values, accounting for 32 percent of the total value when 
combined.

the harvested area, 49 percent of production, and 50 percent of the value.

Processing production of 8 selected vegetables estimated in 2008 totaled 
17.5 million tons, down 2 percent from last year.  Area harvested is 
estimated at 1.23 million acres, down 2 percent from a year ago.  Processing 
crop value is estimated at 1.86 billion dollars, 15 percent above 2007.  The 
three largest crops, in terms of production, are tomatoes, sweet corn, and 
snap beans, which combine to account for 91 percent of the 8 processing crops 
estimated in 2008.  The three most valuable of the 8 processed vegetables 
estimated in 2008 are tomatoes, sweet corn, and cucumbers, accounting for 
79 percent of the total value when combined. 
                                                                                
For the 8 processed vegetables estimated in 2008, California leads the nation 
with 25 percent of the harvested acreage, 69 percent of the production, and 
51 percent of the value.

Hundredweight (cwt.) is the unit used for fresh market yield and production 
and is equal to one hundred pounds.
                                                                                
Prices are a marketing year average for all methods of sale.  For a crop sold 
for both fresh market and processing, the Marketing Year Average Price (MYA) 
is a weighted average of the fresh and processing price.
                                                                                
Prices for fresh vegetables are the average prices producers receive at the 
point of first sale.  This is commonly referred to as the average price as 
sold.  Since the point of first sale is not the same for all producers, 
prices for the various methods of sale are weighted by the proportionate 
quantity sold.  For example, if in a given State part of the vegetables are 
sold F.O.B. packed by growers, part are sold as bulk vegetables at the 
packinghouse door, and some are sold retail at roadside stands, the fresh 
vegetable average price as sold is a weighted average of the average price 
for each method of sale. 
                                                                                
F.O.B. packed prices are adjusted to an equivalent incoming packinghouse door 
price by subtracting all costs that accumulate between the incoming 
packinghouse door and the F.O.B. price.  These costs include grading, 
packing, inspecting fees, selling, and other costs. 
 
Prices for vegetables sold for processing are equivalent returns for 
vegetables delivered to the processing plant door.

The following table on weights, measures, and conversion factors covers the 
vegetables in this report.  It does not cover all containers for any one 
product.
                                                                                
The information has been assembled from State schedules of legal weights, 
various sources within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and other 
Government agencies. For many vegetables, there is a considerable variation 
in weight per unit of volume due to differences in variety or size of 
commodity, condition and tightness of pack, degree to which the container is 
heaped, etc. Effort has been made to select the most representative and 
fairest average for each product. For those commodities which develop 
considerable shrinkage, the point of origin weight or weight at harvest has 
been used.
                                                                                
The approximate or average weights as given in this table do not necessarily 
have official standing as a basis for packing or as grounds for settling 
disputes. Not all of them are recognized as legal weight. The table was 
prepared chiefly for use of workers in the U.S. Department of Agriculture who 
have need of conversion factors in statistical computations.
