U.S. Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service Statistical Bulletin 1006 Statistical Highlights of U.S. Agriculture for 2005 and 2006 May 2006 _______________________________________________________________________________ May 12, 2006 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 commodities, prices paid and received by farmers, farm labor employed and wages paid, farm income and expenses, fertilizer and pesticide usage, and many other aspects important to agriculture. The abundance of information produced has earned NASS the title "the Fact Finders of Agriculture." This edition of Statistical Highlights of United States Agriculture, 2005/2006, 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.nass.usda.gov/. 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 contributors to this publication and especially recognize the thousands of farmers, ranchers, and businesses who voluntarily report the vital data necessary to produce reliable statistics. We would also like to invite those who use this publication to make suggestions to improve it. Your comments on this or other NASS reports can be sent directly to me at NASS, USDA, Room 5041A South Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, Washington, D.C. 20250-2001 or by e-mail to ron_bosecker@nass.usda.gov. I trust you will find the information useful and we welcome your input. Sincerely, R.

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 142 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 500 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 89 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, 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 or via the internet. Anyone not returning the form is usually telephoned. 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 and satellite imagery. 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 2002 U.S. Census of Agriculture is now available on the internet. 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. All information is currently available on the Internet at www.nass.usda.gov. To order a printed copy or a CDROM, call National Technical Information Service sales desk at 800-999-6779. For more detail on the census of agriculture information call 800-727-9540. Electronic Dissemination of Data from NASS NASS National and State reports, data, agricultural graphics, and Agency information are available on the Internet.

The average farm size increased by 1 acre, to 444 acres. Land in farms decreased 2.90 million acres, to 933.4 million acres. Farms with annual sales of over $100,000 accounted for 16.0 percent of all farms and for 59.4 percent of land in farms. Average Farm Real Estate Values The value of U.S. farm real estate, including all land and buildings, averaged $1,510 per acre as of January 1, 2005, up 11 percent from the previous year. Farm real estate values increased in all states from the previous year. The $150 per acre increase in average U.S. farm real estate values extends an upward trend that began in 1988. The change in value closely tracked increases in U.S. cropland and pasture values, which rose by 11.3 and 9.5 percent, respectively, during 2004. The increase in farm real estate, and its cropland and pasture components, was driven by a combination of factors, including; low interest rates, higher cash receipts, and demand for recreational and developmental uses. Cash Receipts U.S. cash receipts from farm marketings totaled $241 billion in 2004, up 11 percent from $217 billion in 2003. Crop cash receipts, at $118 billion, were up 6.1 percent while livestock receipts, at $124 billion, were up 17 percent. Prices Received and Prices Paid Index The 2005 annual average index of prices received by farmers for all farm products, based on 1990-92=100, was 116, down 2.5 percent from the 2004 annual average of 119. The 2005 annual average index of all crop prices, at 112, was down 4.3 percent due to lower prices for many crops. The 2005 livestock and products price index, at 120, was down 1.6 percent from 2004. Overall, the 2005 index of annual average prices paid by farmers (PPITW) was 141 (1990-92=100), up 5.2 percent from 2004. The annual average PPITW was 144 for the crop sector and 137 for the livestock sector. Both increased from 2004. Grazing Fees In 2005, ranchers in the 17 Western States paid monthly fees for grazing livestock on private non-irrigated grazing lands averaging $13.20 per animal unit month, up 0.8 percent from 2004. Farm Production Expenditures and Wage Rates Farm production expenditures increased 5.1 percent in 2004. The U.S. annual average wage rate for all hired workers rose to $9.50 per hour in 2005, up from $9.23 in 2004.

Planted area totaled 81.8 million acres, up 1 percent from 2004. Area harvested for grain, at 75.1 million acres, was up 2 percent from 2004. Planting of the 2005 corn crop began in early April as mostly dry conditions in the Corn Belt and Great Plains allowed rapid planting progress. Temperatures averaged above normal through most of the month, but turned cooler in the final week. Freezing temperatures in the northern and central Great Plains and Corn Belt toward month’s end caused only minimal damage to emerging corn. Due to the rapid planting pace, the corn crop emerged ahead of normal, reaching 95 percent complete by June 5. Corn crop conditions began to decline in June as warm, dry weather depleted soil moisture levels from eastern Texas, across the Mississippi Delta, through the central Corn Belt, and into the Ohio Valley and middle Atlantic Coast States. Meanwhile, moderate to heavy precipitation and above-normal temperatures in the northern and central Great Plains benefitted crop development. Temperatures during July were below normal in parts of the central Corn Belt, central and southern Great Plains, and Southeast. Tropical Storm Cindy and Hurricane Dennis spread moderate to heavy rainfall across the Southeast and parts of the Mississippi Delta and Ohio Valley improving crop conditions in those areas. However, precipitation continued to be scarce across the central Great Plains and much of the Corn Belt, lowering crop condition ratings. Hot, dry conditions persisted across the central Corn Belt and central Great Plains into early August, promoting crop development, but causing further declines in crop conditions. Cooler, wetter weather prevailed later in the month which eased dryness and halted the steady decline in crop conditions. Heavy rainfall from Hurricane Katrina and its remnants during late August and early September benefitted the corn crop from the eastern Delta, across the eastern Corn Belt, Ohio Valley, and into the Northeast. Later in September, rain from Hurricane Rita improved crop conditions across the central Corn Belt and Northeast. Above normal temperatures and mostly dry conditions across the Corn Belt during the first three weeks of October promoted crop maturation and accelerated harvest progress. The mild, mostly dry weather favored the corn harvest which was 95 percent complete by mid-November, 10 percentage points ahead of 2004 and 4 points ahead of normal. 2005 U.S. Soybean Yield - Highest on Record Soybean production in 2005 totaled 3.09 billion bushels, just 1 percent below the record-breaking crop of 2004. The U.S. average yield per acre is estimated at a record high 43.3 bushels, 1.1 bushels above last year. Planted and harvested area in the U.S., at 72.1 million acres and 71.4 million acres, respectively, are both down 4 percent from last year. Planting of the 2005 soybean crop started off slightly behind normal across most of the Corn Belt and Central Great Plains, but dry conditions allowed for rapid progress through the month of May. Wet weather slowed planting progress in Minnesota and the Dakotas, where some producers struggled well into June to get the last Statistical Highlights 2005/2006 of their soybeans planted. Across the Mississippi Delta, Corn Belt, and Ohio Valley, soybean conditions deteriorated quickly during June as warm, dry weather prevailed. However, due to rapid planting earlier in the season, emergence and development of the crop progressed at or ahead of normal. Crop conditions continued to decline through the summer as dry weather depleted soil moisture in the Corn Belt, particularly in an area extending from Illinois, southwest through Missouri and down to Texas. But the crop continued to progress well under the dry conditions. Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana and Mississippi on August 29. As the storm moved inland the rainfall associated with its remnants benefitted the soybean crop in the Ohio Valley and in the Central and Eastern Corn Belt. The crop continued to progress ahead of the normal pace as September’s above normal temperatures promoted crop development and maturation. Conditions stabilized during the month and improved slightly as rain from the remnants of Hurricane Rita replenished soil moisture in the Corn Belt. In October, dry conditions in the Great Plains and Corn Belt favored soybean maturation and harvest continued ahead of normal throughout the month. Even moderate early-November precipitation in the Corn Belt did not deter progress as the final soybean harvest was complete by mid-month. 2005 All Wheat Production Down 2 Percent The production of all wheat totaled 2.10 billion bushels in 2005, 2 percent below 2004. Area harvested for grain at 50.1 million acres, was fractionally above last year. The U.S. yield was 42.0 bushels per acre, down 1.2 bushels from a year ago. The 2005 winter wheat production was estimated at 1.50 billion bushels, down fractionally from last year. The U.S. yield was 44.4 bushels per acre, 0.9 bushel above last year. Acreage for grain was estimated at 33.8 million acres, 2 percent below the previous year. Hard Red Winter (HRW) harvested acreage was down from last year in the southern portion of the Great Plains States due to fewer planted acres. In Texas, harvested acres were lost partly because of severe weather in the Panhandle during the month of June. Harvested acres in the central and northern portions of the Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest States were up with the exception of Oregon. The yield potential for most HRW States was high during the fall and early spring because of conditions that were beneficial for crop emergence and development. However, dry conditions during the spring coupled with hot and dry weather during the summer months decreased the yield potential for the crop. Yields were up for all States in the central and southern portion of the Great Plains except Oklahoma. In the Dakotas, yields were down from last year. Overall, HRW production totaled 930 million bushels, up 9 percent from last year. Farther west, record high State yields were set in Montana, Idaho, and Nevada. Soft Red Winter (SRW) harvested acreage was below 2004 because excessively wet conditions in the fall resulted in dramatically reduced planted acreage. Wet weather continued through the winter in Arkansas, southern Missouri, and southern Illinois, hampering the crop. The growing conditions for the crop were ideal during the spring and promoted growth and development. The yield potential for the crop was good throughout the growing season and was not affected significantly by the hot and dry weather during the summer months. Yields in the SRW growing area were up in all Sates except Florida and the Delta States. Record high State yields were set in Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Tennessee’s yield tied the record high that was set in 1999. Overall, SRW production was 309 million bushels, down 19 percent from 2004. White Winter production, at 260 million bushels, was down 1 percent from last year. Yields in the Pacific Northwest States (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) were at or above last year’s level. In Idaho, excellent irrigated winter wheat yields, combined with good dryland yields resulted in the highest winter wheat yield on record. Other Spring production for 2005 was estimated at 504 million bushels, down 11 percent from last year. Harvested area was 13.6 million acres, up 3 percent from 2004. The U.S. yield was 37.1 bushels per acre, down 6.1 bushels from the record high yield in 2004. The spring wheat crop got off to a good start in the 6 major-producing States, with planting and emergence advancing well ahead of the 5-year average. This rapid progress was due to mild and dry weather during the early spring months. The crop began heading behind the 5-year average in all States except Washington. However, hot and dry weather during July accelerated development and rushed heading ahead of normal. Yield potential for the crop was reduced by these weather conditions. Early harvest progress lagged but quickly advanced ahead of the normal pace because of dry weather during the month of August. The crop was 90 percent harvested by September 4, 9 points ahead of the 5-year average. Yields were down in all States except Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Oregon. The objective yield survey data showed that gross weight per head was down 15 percent from 2004. In Wyoming, a record high yield was reported because of excellent irrigated yields. Durum production for 2005 totaled 101 million bushels, 12 percent above last year. Grain area harvested totaled 2.72 million acres, up 15 percent from 2004. The U.S. yield was estimated at 37.2 bushels per acre, 0.8 bushel below 2004. Production was down from last year in all States except North Dakota. In North Dakota, yields were higher than last year due to favorable weather conditions throughout the growing season. Yields in Montana were down from last year because of hot and dry weather during the summer months. 2005 Fresh Market Vegetable Production Down 2 Percent from 2004 Fresh market vegetable and melon production for the 24 selected crops estimated in 2005 totaled 473 million hundredweight, down 2 percent from last year’s comparable States. Harvested area covered 1.94 million acres, down less than 1 percent from comparable States in 2004. Value of the 2005 crop was estimated at 9.82 billion dollars, up 1 percent from comparable States a year ago. The three largest crops, in terms of production, were onions, head lettuce, and tomatoes, which combined to account for 37 percent of the total production. Tomatoes, head lettuce, and onions claimed the highest values, accounting for 36 percent of the total value when combined. For the 24 selected vegetables and melons estimated in 2005, California continued to be the leading fresh market State, accounting for 44 percent of the harvested area, 48 percent of production, and 47 percent of the value. 2005 Processing Production of 8 Selected Vegetables Down 11 Percent from 2004 Processing production of 8 selected vegetables estimated in 2005 totaled 15.7 million tons, down 11 percent from 2004’s comparable States. Area harvested was estimated at 1.29 million acres, down 1 percent from comparable States a year before. Processing crop value was estimated at 1.27 billion dollars, 9 percent below comparable States in 2004. The 3 largest crops, in terms of production, were tomatoes, sweet corn, and snap beans, which combine to account for 90 percent of the 8 processing crops estimated in 2005. The 3 most valuable of the 8 processed vegetables estimated in 2005 were tomatoes, sweet corn, and cucumbers for pickles, accounting for 78 percent of the total value when combined. 2005 Noncitrus Fruit Utilized Production Up 3 Percent, Value Up 4 Percent In 2005, the Nation's utilized production of the leading noncitrus fruit crops totaled 17.2 million tons, up 3 percent from the comparable 2004 utilized production. Utilized production increased from 2004 for cultivated blueberries, Maine wild blueberries, Oregon loganberries, Oregon black raspberries, red raspberries, tart cherries, cranberries, grapes, California kiwifruit, California olives, California plums, California prunes, and strawberries. The value of utilized production for noncitrus fruit crops totaled 9.34 billion dollars, up 4 percent from 2004. The value of utilized production for California prunes increased 81 percent, nectarines increased 51 percent, California olives are up 28 percent, California plums increased 27 percent, and apricots were up 16 percent from 2004. However, the value of utilized production for prunes and plums decreased 27 percent, California dates were down 14 percent, Hawaii papayas decreased 11 percent, tart cherries decreased 6 percent, strawberries were down 5 percent, and Hawaii pineapples decreased 5 percent from 2004. Utilized apple production for 2005 was estimated at 9.78 billion pounds, down 6 percent from the 2004 level. Utilized production for Washington and New York decreased 6 percent and 20 percent, respectively, while Michigan’s utilized production increased 8 percent compared to 2004. In New York, a spring frost during bloom, extreme heat during early summer, and heavy rains and winds during mid October reduced the 2005 crop. Below normal humidity levels in Michigan kept disease pressure low and the apple crop was ahead of normal development throughout the growing season. Utilized grape production for 2005 totaled 6.97 million tons, up 12 percent from the 2004 crop. The California crop, which accounts for 88 percent of the 2005 U.S. utilized grape production, was up 9 percent from the previous year. Also for California, raisin type production rose 3 percent from 2004, wine type production increased 14 percent, and table type production was up 8 percent. Utilized production increased from 2004 in all grape estimating States except Arizona, Arkansas, and Texas. Utilized peach production in 2005 was estimated at 1.14 million tons, down 7 percent from the previous year and 5 percent below 2003. The California crop, accounting for 76 percent of the U.S. utilized peach production, was down 6 percent from 2004. For California, the Clingstone peach estimate was down 10 percent and the Freestone estimate was down 1 percent from 2004. Utilized pear production for 2005 was 811,670 tons, down 7 percent from the previous year. Washington, the top producing State, utilized 400,000 tons, up 9 percent from 2004. California, the second largest producer at 200,000 tons, was down 26 percent from the previous season. Utilized pear production in Oregon, the third largest producing State, was 196,000 tons, down 7 percent from 2004. Citrus Utilized Production Down 31 Percent, Value Down 4 Percent The 2004-05 season started with 4 hurricanes causing damage to Florida’s citrus crop, severely limiting production. Three hurricanes hit Southeast Florida during September. On September 5, Frances made landfall along Florida's east coast, with sustained winds of over 100 miles per hour. Citrus crops, already damaged by Hurricane Charley in August, received additional damage. Ivan hit the Gulf Coast on September 16, causing extensive wind damage in the Florida panhandle. On September 26, Jeanne made landfall in almost the same spot as Frances 3 weeks earlier, dealing yet another blow to Florida's citrus groves. The Indian River growing area was greatly affected by Hurricane Frances on September 5 and Hurricane Jeanne on September 29. Both storms brought high winds and heavy rain which blew fruit off the trees, broke limbs, and uprooted trees. Standing water in groves caused softening of fruit and continued fruit droppage. Fruit drop rate was a limiting factor for citrus production in Florida, remaining at above average rates for most of the 2004-05 season. Citrus utilized production for the 2004-05 season totaled 11.4 million tons, 31 percent below the 2003-04 season and 36 percent lower than the record high production of 17.8 million tons for the 1997-98 season. Florida accounted for 67 percent of total U.S. citrus production, California totaled 29 percent, while Texas and Arizona produced the remaining 4 percent. Florida’s 2004-2005 orange production of 150 million boxes was down 38 percent from the previous season. Grapefruit utilization in Florida, at 12.8 million boxes, was down 69 percent from the previous season’s utilization. Florida’s total citrus utilization decreased 42 percent from the previous season, due to the hurricanes’ effect. Bearing acreage, at 641,400 acres, was the lowest since the 1993-94 season. California increased utilized citrus production by 16 percent from the 2003-04 season. California’s all orange production, at 61.0 million boxes, was 21 percent higher than the previous season. Grapefruit production, at 5.80 million boxes, was unchanged from the 2003-04 season. Utilized production of citrus in Texas was up 14 percent from the 2003-04 season. Orange production increased 7 percent from the previous season and grapefruit production was up 16 percent. Arizona’s total citrus production was down 22 percent from last season. Grapefruit utilized production was unchanged, while oranges and lemons were down 9 and 20 percent, respectively, from the 2003-04 season. The value of the 2004-05 U.S. citrus crop was down 4 percent from the previous season to $2.39 billion (packinghouse-door equivalent). Total value of production for 2004-05 was lower for all types of citrus, except grapefruit, lemons, and tangerines. Orange value of production decreased 16 percent from last season, while grapefruit value increased 25 percent. Tangerine value of production increased 13 percent from last season. Lemon value of production increased 30 percent. Tangelo and temple values were down 20 percent and 33 percent, respectively, from the previous season. U.S. Nut Production Down 4 Percent, Value Up 22 Percent The 2005 U.S. nut production was estimated at 1.46 million tons (in-shell basis), a 4 percent decrease from a year earlier. The almond crop totaled 775,900 tons, down 10 percent from 2004. Walnut production for 2005, at 355,000 tons, was up 9 percent from the previous year. The pistachio crop totaled 141,500 tons, 18 percent less than 2004. Pecan production for 2005 was estimated at 129,800 tons, a 40 percent increase from 2004. Hazelnut production, at 28,000 tons, was down 25 percent from the previous year. Macadamia production, at 30,000 tons, was up 6 percent. The 2005 U.S. value of utilized nut production was estimated at 4.30 billion dollars, up 22 percent from the revised 2004 value. The almond crop was valued at 2.72 billion dollars, up 24 percent from 2004. Pistachio value for 2005, at 574 million dollars, was 24 percent greater than last year.

Agricultural chemical use data are released for selected major field crops, fruits, vegetables, and livestock and their facilities. Postharvest chemical use data are released for off-farm pesticide applications and pest management practices for selected crops, such as apples, oranges, potatoes, corn, wheat, rice, and peanuts. Pest management practices data provide information on practices farmers use to reduce their dependency on agricultural chemicals (such as practices which improve the effectiveness of pesticides or are an alternative to pesticides). Pest management practices are categorized into four areas: prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression. Pests include weeds, insects, and fungi. Following is a list of environmental products released during 2005 and 2006. Agricultural Chemical Usage Postharvest Applications are released in March. For the March 2005 release, oranges were the targeted crop. Peanuts were the target crop for the March 2006 release. Agricultural Chemical Usage 2004 Field Crops Summary was released May 2005. The agricultural chemical use data consists of on-farm usage of commercial fertilizers and pesticides as well as pest management practices for targeted crops in selected states. The targeted crops were: peanuts, soybeans, durum wheat, other spring wheat, and winter wheat. Agricultural Chemical Usage 2005 Field Crops Summary was released May 2006. The targeted crops are: corn, fall potatoes, oats, soybeans, and upland cotton. Agricultural Chemical Usage 2004 Vegetable Summary was released July 2005. Data published consists of on- farm usage of commercial fertilizers and pesticides as well as pest management practices for targeted crops in selected states. Data were published on 29 vegetable crops. Agricultural Chemical Usage 2005 Fruit Summary is scheduled for release July 2006. Data collection is targeted for 24 fruit crops in 13 States. The report will contain statistics for on-farm use of agricultural chemicals and pest management practices. Starting in 2006, rate distribution tables will be included as part of the Field Crops, Vegetable, and Fruit Summary releases. Agricultural Chemical Usage Field and Vegetable Crops Rate Distribution was released December 2005. Data published provide the 10th percentile, mean, median, and 90th percentile for percent of crop receiving chemical treatments, number of applications, rater per application, and rate per crop year.
