INTRODUCTION

This bulletin contains infornnation by States, and by areas within

States, on the usual planting and harvesting dates and the principal

producing counties for the 11 principal vegetables for commercial

processing. The States included for individual crops are those for

which estimates of acreage, production, and value were made by the

Crop Reporting Board for one or nnore years of the period 1943-54.

Both the planting and harvesting dates are based largely upon reports

furnished in 1951 by commercial processors and State agricultural

statisticians. Comparable information on planting and harvesting

dates and principal producing areas for fresh-market vegetables

is shown in Agriculture Handbook No. 80. A similar publication is

planned for potatoes and sweetpotatoes.

Separate planting and harvesting dates for areas within a State

are shown where available information indicated significant differences between areas. PI amting and harvesting dates by seasons are

shownfor Statesand crops where applicable. Production estimates

by seasons are not available for processing crops other than spinach.

The seasonal groupings used are based on the period when the bulk

of each crop is usually harvested. These are:

Prepared for publication by Irvin Holmes and Thorland R. Hall under the general supervision of Reginald Royston. agricultural statisticians in the Fruit and Vegetable Statistics Branch.

Winter January, February, March

Spring , , April, May, June

Early Spring April 1 - May 15

Late Spring May l6 - June 30

Summer July, August, September

Fall October, November, December

Early Fall October 1 - November 15

Late Fall November l6 - December 31

In practice, the beginning and ending of these seasons are not

fixed dates but approximations. There is necessarily sonne overlapping in the marketing seasons for individual crops, and weather

frequently disturbs normal harvest schedules. Consequently, the

classifications employed are generally less precise than the dates

indicate.

Harvesting dates refer to the period when the crop is removed

from the field and not to dates of processing. For perishable crops

the harvesting and processing periods are nearly identical, but for

storage crops, suchas cabbage, the processing season extends beyond the date that harvest ends. In areas where production for processing is salvagedfronn acreage grown primarily for fresh market,

such salvage operations often follow the harvest for fresh market.

Planting dates refer to the period during which seeding, setting,

or transplanting to the field is usually done. It is recognized that

early or late fields may at tinnes be planted outside the period indi

cated. The dates do not take into account abnormal planting seasons

caused by climatic or econonnic factors.

For tomatoes, unless otherwise specified, the planting dates

refer to date of transplanting to the field. In areas where processor's reports indicated tonnatoes are also seeded direct to the field,

dates are shown for both direct seeding and transplanting.

In general, the dates shown represent the range in the usual

dates reported by the individual processors in the area specified. In

afew instances, a State is listedfor a crop but no planting and harvesting dates are shown. This indicates that reliable information

on dates is not available because production of that crop for processing is no longer reported for that State.

The principal producing counties are grouped by areas within

States, and these areas are designated by geographic location.

These areas are listed in the order of the size of their acreage,

beginning with the largest. In most instances the order was determinedfrom total acreage of each vegetable crop as reported in the

1950 Census of Agriculture, with allowances for probable freshmarket acreage. Later information was used if available. Similarly, the counties within each area have been listed in order of size

of acreage, starting with the largest county in the area.

Figures 1-9 portray graphically the distribution of acreage of

total vegetables harvested for sale, as well as asparagus, green

lima beans, snap beans, cabbage, sweet corn, cucumbers, green

peas and tomatoes. Although these maps include vegetables grown

for fresh market as well as for processing, they indicate the location of the Nation's producing areas. Maps restricted to vegetables

for processing are not available.
