Statistical Highlights of U.S. Agriculture for 2001 and 2002
June 2002
_________________________________________________________________

Dear Reader:

Each year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducts surveys and prepares
hundreds of reports covering U.S. agriculture. Included are data on
production and supplies of food and fiber, prices paid and received by
farmers, farm labor and wages, farm income and finances, chemical use, and
many other aspects of the industry. The abundance of information produced
has earned NASS the title "the fact finders of agriculture." This edition
of Statistical Highlights of United States Agriculture, 2001/2002 brings
together the most important economic and statistical information on
agriculture in a single summary report. More detail and additional
statistics may be found on the NASS website at www.usda.gov/nass.

The statistical data contained in this report were provided by NASS, the
Economic Research Service, and the World Agricultural Outlook Board. We
would like to thank all the contributors to this publication and especially
recognize the thousands of farmers, ranchers, and businesses who
voluntarily report the information on which most of these statistics are
based.

We would also like to invite those who use this publication to make
suggestions to improve it. Your comments on this report or other NASS
issues can be sent directly to me at NASS, USDA, Room 4117 South Building,
1400 Independence Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20250-2000 or by e-mail to
ron_bosecker@nass.usda.gov. I trust you will find the information useful
and welcome your input.

Sincerely,

R. Ronald Bosecker

               National Agricultural Statistics Service 

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) administers the
United States Department of Agriculture's program for collecting and
publishing timely national and state agricultural statistics. In 1862,
the first Commissioner of the newly formed Department of Agriculture,
Isaac Newton, established a goal to "collect, arrange, and publish
statistical and other useful agricultural information." A year later, in
July 1863, the Department's Division of Statistics issued the Nation's
first official Crop Production report. 

The structure of farming, ranching, and the agricultural industry has
changed dramatically during the succeeding 138 years. The need for
accurate, timely, and objective statistical information about the
Nation's agriculture has become even more important as the country has
moved from subsistence agriculture to a highly industrialized business
that produces food and fiber for the world market. 

The National Agricultural Statistics Service now publishes over 400
reports a year with official estimates covering over 120 crops and 45
livestock items. Each report is issued according to a published annual
calendar of release dates. Strict security procedures ensure that no one
gains premature access to the information. In addition, NASS has a
strong tradition of cooperation with other federal agencies, state
departments of agriculture, and universities to supplement the federal
statistics program. The state-federal cooperative relationship, which
began over 80 years ago, eliminates duplication and provides state input
while maintaining consistency in surveys conducted across the U.S. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------
              Data Sources and Estimation Procedures 

The official estimates prepared by NASS are based on data obtained from
farm and ranch operators, as well as from agribusinesses such as grain
elevators, shippers, processors, and commercial storage firms.
Scientifically designed sampling methods are used to determine the
operations to be included in each survey. Operators are interviewed by
professionally trained interviewers, either in person or by telephone. 

In some instances operators will receive a questionnaire by mail with a
postage-paid return envelope. Anyone not returning the form is usually
telephoned; however, survey response is voluntary. Very stringent laws
and procedures protect the confidentiality of each operator's response. 

NASS maintains extensive lists of farm and ranch operations along with
identifiers that indicate size and type of operation. NASS also
maintains complete lists of grain storage facilities, commercial
operations such as feedlots, cold storage facilities, and manufactured
dairy processors. Nearly every report issued by NASS is based on survey
sample data collected from farms or other agribusinesses selected from
these lists. 

NASS also maintains an area sampling frame. The area frame, which is
essentially the entire land mass of the United States, ensures complete
coverage of the U.S. farm population. The Area Frame Survey provides
accurate estimates of crop acres and is the primary basis for the June
Acreage report. The area frame is also used to measure the
incompleteness of the list frame. 

Sampling from the area frame is a multi-step process. First, all land in
each state is classified into land use categories by the intensity of
cultivation using a variety of map products, satellite imagery, and
computer software packages. These land use classifications range from
intensively cultivated land to marginally cultivated grazing land to
urban areas. The land in each use category is then divided into segments
ranging from about 1 square mile in cultivated areas to 0.1 square mile
in urban areas. This allows intensively cultivated land segments to be
selected with a greater frequency than those less intensively
cultivated. 

Nearly 12,000 area segments are selected nationwide for the large scale
survey conducted each June. Using maps and aerial photos that show the
exact site and boundaries of each sample segment, interviewers locate
and interview every operator with land inside the segment boundaries.
They obtain information on the crops planted in each field, livestock
inventory, and quantities of grain in storage. 

A considerable amount of data are also available from other
organizations, both private and public. The administrative data are used
to evaluate the accuracy of production estimates and in some cases to
determine the final estimates. The information becomes available during
the marketing year but often after the preliminary production estimates
are determined. Some examples of administrative data follow. 

Utilization data. Information about imports, exports, soybean crush, and
industrial use are available from the Bureau of the Census. These data
are used in a balance sheet that starts with carryover stocks from the
previous year and the current production estimate, which measures total
supply. At the end of the marketing year, when subtracting utilization
data from the supplies at the beginning of the crop year, the result
should correspond closely with the ending stocks. If there is a large
unexplained difference between survey stocks and indicated stocks from
the balance sheet, then the previous year acreage, yield, and production
survey and stocks data are reviewed to determine if revisions should be
made. 

Slaughter statistics. NASS receives data through the Food Safety and
Inspection Service about the number of animals inspected at slaughter
operations. These data are used to monitor the accuracy of the livestock
production statistics. 

Price statistics. Extensive use is made of USDA's Agricultural Marketing
Service market news data to prepare the monthly average prices received
from the sales of livestock species. Also, Bureau of Labor price indices
are used to measure the relative changes in prices paid for production
input items.

                              Summary 

NASS is a world leader in the use of statistical methodology to produce
statistics about agriculture. NASS statisticians provide consultative
services to a large number of developing countries around the world,
helping them develop statistical information about their agriculture.
NASS has also been a leader in making information available through
electronic media. Globalization of markets is expanding as buyers and
sellers have nearly instant access to market information from around the
world. 

The 1997 U.S. Census of Agriculture is now available. February 1, 1999,
NASS released national, state, and county data from the 1997 Census of
Agriculture. The census of agriculture is conducted every 5 years and is
the most complete accounting of U.S. agriculture and the only source of
uniform, comprehensive data for every county in the nation.

                          U.S. Crop Summary 

         2001 Corn Grain Production Fourth Largest on Record 

Corn grain production is estimated at 9.51 billion bushels, down 4
percent from 2000 and the fourth largest crop on record. The U.S. grain
yield of 138.2 bushels per acre is up 1.3 bushels from 2000 and is the
second largest yield on record. Planted area totaled 75.8 million acres,
5 percent below last year. Acres harvested for grain, at 68.8 million
acres, are also 5 percent below 2000. 

A dry, early-spring allowed corn planting to begin early and progress
near a record pace in the southern and eastern Corn Belt. However,
northwestern Corn Belt farmers experienced frequent planting delays due
to persistent precipitation. After slow development in June,
above-normal temperatures and timely rains stimulated development across
the northern and western Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great
Plains, especially after mid-July. High temperatures and moisture
shortages briefly stressed the corn crop in the Corn Belt and southern
Great Plains the first part of August. Fortunately, temperatures gave
way to more seasonal patterns and timely rains fell alleviating moisture
shortages in many areas of the Corn Belt during the middle and end of
the month. Timely and plentiful rainfall in the mid-Atlantic and
Southeastern States provided ideal growing conditions for corn.
Below-normal temperatures delayed ripening and drying of the corn crop
across most of the Corn Belt during September. Corn harvest slowly
gained momentum across the northern and western Corn Belt in early
October. Harvest finished ahead of the average pace. 


           2001 Soybean Production Highest on Record 

Soybean production in 2001 totaled 2.89 billion bushels, 5 percent above
2000. The 2001 production is a record high, followed by last year's 2.76
billion bushels. The average yield per acre in 2001 is estimated at 39.6
bushels, 1.5 bushels above the 2000 yield. Planted area for the U.S., at
74.1 million acres, is down slightly from 2000. Harvested area totaled
73.0 million acres, up 1 percent from 2000 and is the largest harvested
acreage on record. 

Planting of the 2001 soybean crop progressed early and ended 2
percentage points ahead of the five-year average. In the eight major
producing States, spring planting was completed later than last year.
However, planting in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern States advanced
ahead of last year. On October 14, ninety-six percent of the crop had
dropped leaves. This compared with 97 percent last year and a five-year
of 95 percent. The crop in the Michigan and the northwestern Corn Belt
was stressed by short moisture supplies, resulting in reduced yields.
Soybean harvest began behind last year but ahead of the five-year
average with 96 percent of the crop harvested by November 11, compared
to 97 percent last year and a five-year average of 95 percent. 


                   2001 All Wheat Production Lower 

All wheat production for 2001 is estimated at 1.96 billion bushels, down
12 percent from the 2000 level. This is the lowest production since
1988. Harvested area, at 48.7 million acres, is down 8 percent from a
year earlier and is the smallest acreage since 1972. Yield is estimated
at 40.2 bushels per acre, down 1.8 bushels from 2000. 

Winter wheat production is estimated at 1.36 billion bushels, the lowest
level since 1978. This is down 13 percent from the 2000 level. Harvested
acreage totaled 31.3 million, down 11 percent from a year earlier. This
is the lowest harvested winter acreage since 1933. Yield in 2001 is
estimated at 43.5 bushels per acre, 1.2 bushels below the final 2000
yield. 

Other spring wheat production is estimated at 513 million bushels, down
8 percent from 2000. A 3.2 bushel decrease in yield more than offset a 1
percent increase in harvested area. 

Durum wheat production totaled 83.6 million bushels, down 24 percent
from 2000. Harvested area totaled 2.79 million acres, down 22 percent
from a year earlier. Yield is estimated at 30.0 bushels per acre, 0.7
bushels below 2000. 


                       Vegetable Program Changes 

For the 2000 crop year many changes occurred to the National Vegetable
Estimation Program. Nine new commodities were added to the program.
Additionally, States were added or dropped from the seasonal program.
Some States were discontinued for the seasonal forecasts but remained in
the program on an annual basis. When comparing 2001 and 2000 data to
1999 data, comparable States should be used as noted in the table
footnotes. 

2001 Fresh Market Vegetable Production Estimated at 477 Million
Hundredweight 

Fresh market vegetable and melon production for the 34 selected crops in
2001 totaled 477 million hundredweight, less than 1 percent below 2000.
Value of the 2001 crop was estimated at 9.09 billion dollars, 1 percent
below the previous year. Harvested area covered 2.07 million acres,
virtually unchanged from last season. 

Fresh market vegetable and melon production for 25 selected crops in
2001 totaled 452 million hundredweight, virtually unchanged from 2000.
Value of the 2001 crop was estimated at 8.58 billion dollars, less than
1 percent below the previous year. Harvested area covered 1.90 million
acres, virtually unchanged from 2000. The three largest crops in terms
of production were head lettuce, onions, and watermelon, which combined
to account for 40 percent of the total production. Head lettuce,
tomatoes, and onions claimed the highest value, accounting for 36
percent of the total value when combined. 

The 9 new crops added in 2000 are collard greens, kale, mustard greens,
turnip greens, okra, chile peppers, pumpkins, radishes, and squash.
Harvested acres of these crops are estimated at 173,940 acres, 1 percent
less than 2000. Production is estimated at 25.3 million hundredweight,
10 percent below the previous year. Total value is estimated at 511
million dollars, 13 percent below last season. Pumpkins and squash lead
in production, accounting for 63 percent of production for these 9
crops. Squash and chile peppers claim the highest value of these crops,
accounting for 53 percent of the 9 crop value. 

For all 34 vegetables and melons, California continued to be the leading
fresh market State, accounting for 42 percent of the harvested area, 47
percent of production, and 50 percent of the value. 

2001 Processing Production of 10 Selected Vegetables Estimated at 15.0
Million Tons 

Processing production of 10 selected vegetables in 2001 totaled 15.0
million tons, 12 percent less than 2000. Area harvested is estimated at
1.33 million acres, 8 percent below last year. Processing crop value is
estimated at 1.26 billion dollars, 11 percent below the previous year.
The three largest crops in terms of production are tomatoes, sweet corn,
and snap beans, which combine to account for 87 percent of the 10
processing crops. The three most valuable of the 10 processed vegetables
are tomatoes, sweet corn, and cucumbers, accounting for 75 percent of
the total value when combined. California leads the nation with 22
percent of the harvested acreage, 59 percent of the production, and 43
percent of the value. 


               2001 Noncitrus Fruit Utilized Production
                Down 12 Percent, Value Down 1 Percent 

In 2001, the Nation's utilized production of the leading noncitrus fruit
crops totaled 16.5 million tons, down 12 percent from 2000's production.
Utilized production decreased from last year for all crops except
cultivated blueberries, red raspberries, cherries, dates, nectarines,
olives, papayas, pears, and plums. 

Value of utilized production for noncitrus fruit crops totaled 7.84
billion dollars, down 1 percent from 2000. The value of apples increased
14 percent and the value of peaches increased 1 percent. However, the
value of grapes decreased 9 percent. The value of strawberries was
virtually the same as in 2000. 

Utilized apple production for 2001 was estimated at 9.21 billion pounds,
down 11 percent from the 2000 level. Production in the Central States
increased as a result of favorable spring growing conditions but was
more than offset by production decreases in the Western and Eastern
States. 

Utilized grape production for 2001 totaled 6.52 million tons, down 15
percent from 2000's crop. The California crop, which accounts for 91
percent of the U.S. grape production, was down 16 percent from last
year. Also for California, wine type production decreased 8 percent from
2000, raisin type production fell 27 percent, and table type production
was 10 percent lower. Utilized production decreased from the previous
year in almost all States with California leading the way. The only
States increasing from 2000 were Washington and Oregon while Georgia was
unchanged. 

Utilized peach production in 2001 was estimated at 2.34 billion pounds,
down 7 percent from last year and 4 percent below 1999. The California
crop, accounting for 72 percent of the U.S. peach production, was down 7
percent from 2000. For California, Clingstone peaches were down 11
percent and Freestone peaches were down 2 percent from 2000. 

Utilized pear production, at 968,300 tons, was up 2 percent from last
year's crop. Washington, at 450,000 tons and the top producing State,
was up 11 percent. California, at 267,000 tons and the second largest
producer, was down 10 percent. Utilized pear production in Oregon, the
third largest producing State, was up 5 percent from 2000. 


                    U.S. Nut Production
           Up 21 Percent, Value Up 2 Percent 

The 2001 U.S. nut production (in-shell basis) rose to 1.31 million tons,
a 21 percent increase from a year earlier. The pistachio crop totaled
80,500 tons dropping 34 percent from the record high crop of 121,500
tons realized in 2000. Almond production totaled 693,300 tons, up 21
percent from last year. Hazelnut production for the 2001 crop totaled
48,000 tons, more than double the revised 2000 crop of 22,500 tons.
Walnut production totaled 305,000 tons, a 28 percent increase from last
year. Macadamia production, at 27,000 tons, was up 8 percent from 2000.
Pecan production totaled 157,500 tons, a 50 percent increase from last
year. 

The 2001 U.S. value of utilized nut production increased to 1.51 billion
dollars, 2 percent above last year. The almond value was up 5 percent

              U.S. Farm Economics and Demographics Summary 

                    Numbers of Farms and Ranches decline 

There were less than 2.16 million U.S. farms in 2001, down 0.7 percent
from 2000. The average farm size increased to 436 acres. Land in farms
declined slightly to 941.2 million acres. Farms with annual sales of
over $100,000 accounted for 16.2 percent of all farms and for 57.5
percent of land in farms, averaging 1,550 acres. 

		    Real Estate Values Up 4.6 Percent 

The U.S. farm real estate value, including all land and buildings,
averaged $1,130 per acre on January 1, 2001, up 4.6 percent from January
1, 2000. The $50 per acre increase continued the climb that began in
1987. The overall increase was influenced by cropland values which rose

                  U.S. Environmental Data Summary

The environmental survey program provides data on agricultural chemical
and fertilizer usage, pest management practices, and postharvest
chemical applications. Agricultural chemical use data are released for
selected major field crops, fruits and nuts, vegetables, and livestock
and their facilities. Postharvest chemical use data are released for
selected crops in storage, such as apples, potatoes, corn, wheat, rice,
and peanuts. Pest management practices data are released to show what
farmers are doing to reduce their dependency on agricultural chemicals.
Pests are defined as weeds, insects, and diseases. Pest management
practices were categorized into four areas: prevention, avoidance,
monitoring, and suppression. 

Following is a list of environmental products released during the past
year: 

Agricultural Chemical Usage - Postharvest Applications are released in
March. For the March 2001 release, peanuts, rice, and sorghum were
targeted. The March 2002 release targeted wheat. 

Agricultural Chemical Usage 2000 Sheep and Sheep Facilities was released
May 2001. 

Agricultural Chemical Usage 2000 Field Crops Summary was released May
2001. The agricultural chemical use estimates refer to on-farm use of
commercial fertilizers and pesticides on targeted crops for selected
States. The targeted crops were: corn, upland cotton, rice, soybeans,
sugarbeets, and wheat. 

Agricultural Chemical Usage 2000 Vegetables Summary was released July
2001. This report includes farm use of 2000 crop year pesticides for 43
vegetable crops in 19 major producing States. 

Agricultural Chemical Usage 2000 Restricted Use Summary was released
October 2001. The chemical data provided in this report is limited to
restricted use pesticides. This class of pesticides has been determined
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be "restricted",
that is they are available for purchase and use only by certified
pesticide applicators or persons under their direct supervision.

                      U.S. Livestock Summary 
                   Cattle Inventory Down 1 Percent 

The inventory of all cattle and calves on hand January 1, 2002, was 96.7
million head, down 1 percent from the previous year. All inventory
classes, except steers 500 pounds and over, posted declines from a year
earlier. Heifers 500 pounds and over, were virtually unchanged from a
year ago. Calves under 500 pounds posted the largest decline at 97
percent of the previous year. The 2001 calf crop of 38.3 million head
was 1 percent below a year earlier. The lower inventory continues the
downward trend in the cattle cycle. The reduced numbers of cows and
calves indicate that this pattern should continue. The number of
operations with cattle during 2001 was 1.05 million, down 2 percent from
2000. 

On January 1, 2002, the inventory of cattle on feed in the U.S. totaled
13.9 million head, down 2 percent from the previous year. For feedlots
with a capacity of 1,000 or more head, inventories decreased 2 percent.
With an inventory of 11.6 million head, these feedlots account for 83
percent of the U.S. total. Fed cattle marketings from these feedlots
totaled 23.4 million head. 

Commercial beef production for 2001 totaled 26.2 billion pounds, down 3
percent from the previous year. 

                 Milk Production Decreased 1 Percent 

U.S. milk production decreased 1 percent to 165 billion pounds in 2001.
Milk cow numbers were down 1 percent from a year ago, while production
per cow decreased fractionally. The number of operations with milk cows
during 2001 fell to 97,560, down 7 percent from a year earlier.
Operations with fewer than 500 head declined, while those with 500 or
more head increased. The operations with 500 or more head also continued
to increase their share of production. 

                      Hog Inventory Down 1 Percent 

The inventory of all hogs and pigs on December 1, 2001 was 58.8 million
head, down 1 percent from the previous year. The inventory of breeding

decreased 1 percent from a year earlier, while the pig crop also dropped
1 percent. The average pigs saved per litter decreased slightly during
2001 compared with a year earlier. The number of operations with hogs
has fallen steadily since 1980, and was down to 81,130 operations in
2001. The share of inventory held by larger operations continues to
increase; in 2001 the 6,983 operations with 2,000 or more hogs held 75
percent of the inventory, compared to 6,915 operations with 72 percent
of the inventory a year earlier. Commercial pork production totaled 19.2
billion pounds in 2001, up 1 percent from the previous year. Number of
head slaughtered was virtually unchanged from 2000 while the average

percent from a year earlier. Average value decreased from $2.44 to $2.42
per bird. 

Egg production during the year ending November 30, 2001, was 85.7
billion eggs, up 2 percent from the 84.4 billion eggs in 2000. Layer
numbers during 2001 averaged 335 million, up 2 percent from the year
earlier. The annual average production per layer on hand in 2001 was 256
eggs, down slightly from the 2000 average. 

The combined value of production from broilers, eggs, and turkeys plus
the value of sales from chickens in 2000 was $21.2 billion, down 5
percent from the $22.3 billion in 1999. Of the combined total, 66
percent was from broilers, 20 percent from eggs, 13 percent from
