2017 Census of Agriculture Introduction V USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Introduction
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The 2017 Census of Agriculture Specialty Crop
publication provides data that supplement the 2017
Census of Agriculture, Volume 1, Geographic Area
Series publications. As a service to agricultural and
economic data users, the 2017 data for specialty crops
are published at the U.S. and State-level. Section 101
of the Specialty Crops Competitiveness Act of 2004
(7 U.S.C. §1621 note) and amended under section
10010 of the Agricultural Act of 2014, Public Law
113-79 (the Farm Bill) defines specialty crops as
“fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, and
horticulture and nursery crops (including
floriculture).” Eligible plants must be cultivated or
managed and used by people for food, medicinal
purposes, and/or aesthetic gratification to be
considered specialty crops. See the Appendix in this
publication for further definition of specialty crops.
This is the third time NASS has summarized and
published the census of agriculture data for specialty
crops.
AUTHORITY
The 2017 Census of Agriculture is required by law
under the “Census of Agriculture Act of 1997,” Public
Law 105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, Section
2204g). The law directs the Secretary of Agriculture
to conduct a census of agriculture every fifth year.
FARM DEFINITION
The census definition of a farm is any place from
which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were
produced and sold, or normally would have been sold,
during the census year. The definition has changed
nine times since it was established in 1850. The
current definition was first used for the 1974 Census
of Agriculture and has been used in each subsequent
agriculture census. This definition is consistent with
the definition used for current USDA surveys.
DATA COMPARABILITY
Not all data are comparable between the 2017 and
2012 censuses. Demographic data from the 2017
census are not fully comparable with 2012 census data
due to terminology and definition changes. The
commodities that comprise the Other specialty crops
category changed between censuses so data are not
comparable between censuses. For a detailed
discussion of these and other changes, see the
Appendix in this publication and also 2017 Census of
Agriculture, Geographic Area Series, Appendix B,
https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/AgCensus/2
017/Full_Report/Volume_1,_Chapter_1_US/usappx
b.pdf. Dollar figures are expressed in current dollars
and have not been adjusted for inflation or deflation.
REFERENCE PERIOD
Reference periods used were:
• Crop acreage is for the calendar year, except for a
few crops such as avocados, citrus, olives, and
pineapples for which the production year overlaps
the calendar year. See the Appendix for further
information regarding these exceptions.
• Crop sales and hired farm labor data are measured
for the calendar year.
TABLES AND APPENDIX
Data Tables. Tables 1 through 6 show detailed U.S.-
level data cross-tabulated by several categories.
Corresponding State-level data are presented in
Tables 7 through 12.
Appendix. Includes the definitions of specific terms
and phrases used in the publication, including items
in the publication tables that carry the note “see text.”
VI Introduction 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY
In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the United
States Code, no data are published that would disclose
information about the operations of an individual
farm or ranch. All tabulated data are subject to an
extensive disclosure review prior to publication. Any
tabulated item that identifies data reported by a
respondent or allows a respondent’s data to be
accurately estimated or derived was suppressed and
coded with a ‘(D)’. However, the number of farms
reporting an item is not considered confidential
information and is provided even though other
information is withheld.
SPECIAL STUDIES, SUBJECT SERIES
REPORTS, AND CUSTOM TABULATIONS
Reports such as Specialty Crops, the 2018 Irrigation
and Water Management Survey, and the 2018 Census
of Aquaculture are part of the census program and
provide supplemental information to the 2017 Census
of Agriculture. Results are published at
https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/AgCensus/2
017/index.php.
Custom-designed tabulations may be developed when
data are not published elsewhere. These tabulations
are developed to individual user specifications on a
cost-reimbursable basis and shared with the public.
Quick Stats, NASS’s online database that allows data
users to build customized queries, should be
investigated before requesting a custom tabulation.
All NASS publications and custom tabulations are
subject to a thorough disclosure review prior to
release to prevent the disclosure of any individual
respondent data. Requests for custom tabulations may
be submitted via the Internet from the NASS home
page, by mail, or by e-mail to:

2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A - 1 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Appendix
Methodology and General Terms
METHODOLOGY
This publication is a special tabulation of data
collected in the 2017 Census of Agriculture. For a
description of the methodology used in the census,
refer to the 2017 Census of Agriculture, Volume 1, at
https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/AgCensus/2
017/Full_Report/Volume_1,_Chapter_1_US/usappx
a.pdf.
TERMS AND DEFINITIONS
The following definitions and explanations provide a
detailed description of specific terms and phrases
used in this publication. Items in the publication tables
which carry the note “See text” also are explained. For
more details relating to the census of agriculture
program, go to the NASS website at
https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/AgCensus/2
017/index.php.
Acres. Crops were reported in whole acres, except for
the following crops that were reported in tenths of
acres: nursery and greenhouse crops in the open,
vegetables including potatoes and sweet potatoes,
fruit and nut crops including land in orchards, and
land in berries. Totals for crops reported in tenths of
acres were rounded to whole acres at the aggregate
level during the tabulation process. Nursery and
greenhouse crops grown under glass or other
protection were reported in square feet but were
converted to acres for this report. Acres of maple
syrup were not defined and were not included in total
acres but are included in the farm count.
If two or more crops were harvested from the same
land during the year (double cropping), the acres were
counted for each crop. Therefore, the sum of all the
individual crops harvested generally exceeded the
acres of harvested cropland. For this publication, land
in vegetables, land in berries, land in orchards,
horticulture acres in the open, and area under
protection are used and not the sum of individual
crops on those acres. This represents the acres used,
regardless of the number of crops or number of times
the acres were harvested. See Nursery, greenhouse,
floriculture, and sod for additional explanation.
If a crop was planted but not harvested, the acres were
not reported as harvested. This does not include fruit
and nut orchards, vineyards, berries, acres in
production for cultivated Christmas trees, and acres in
production for short rotation woody crops that were
not harvested. Acreage for these commodities was
included in cropland harvested whether the crop was
harvested. Pulse crops harvested were included
regardless of double cropping that may have occurred
on the same acres. Cropland in abandoned orchards is
not included.
Average age of producers. Data on age were
obtained from up to four producers per farm in 2017.
Berries. See Land in berries.
Citrus. This is a summation of the total acres defined
as citrus such as grapefruits, kumquats, lemons, limes,
oranges, tangelos, tangerines, and other citrus.
Crop year or season covered. Acres and quantity
harvested are for the calendar year 2017 except for
coffee. Data for coffee relate to July 2016 through
June 2017.
Cultivated Christmas trees. Data are for acres of
Christmas trees in production, either cut or to be cut,
the number of these acres irrigated, and the value of
sales of the harvested trees. In 2012 this item was
referred to as Cut Christmas trees. This is a wording
change only; data are comparable.
Farms. The term ‘‘farms’’ and “farms reporting” in
the presentation of data are equivalent. Both represent
the number of farms reporting the item. For example,
A - 2 Appendix 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
if there are 3,710 farms in a State and 842 farms had
28,594 acres of tree nuts, the data for those farms
reporting tree nuts would appear as:
Tree nuts farms. . . . . 842
acres . . . 28,594
Farms by legal status for tax purposes. All farms
were classified by legal status in the 2017 census. This
section collects information for federal tax purposes
to determine an operation’s legal status. The
classifications used were:
1. Family or individual (sole proprietorship),
excluding partnership and corporation.
2. Partnership, including family partnership.
3. Corporation, including family corporations.
4. Other – estate or trust, prison farm, grazing
association, American Indian Reservation, etc.
Farms by size. All farms were classified into size
groups according to the land in farms. Land in farms
includes land owned plus land rented from others (not
including AUM land) minus land rented to others.
Fruits, tree nuts, and berries. See Land in orchards
and Land in berries.
Harvested cropland. This category includes land
from which crops were harvested and hay was cut,
land used to grow short rotation woody crops and
cultivated Christmas trees, land in orchards, groves,
vineyards, berries, nurseries, and greenhouses. Land
from which two or more crops were harvested was
counted only once. Land in tapped maple trees was
included in woodland not pastured.
Hired farm labor. Data are for total hired farm
workers, including paid family members, by number
of days worked. Data exclude contract laborers.
Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish Origin. Producers of
Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin are found in all of
the racial groups listed in the census and were
tabulated according to the race reported.
Irrigated land. This category includes all land
watered by any artificial or controlled means, such as
sprinklers, flooding, furrows or ditches, sub-
irrigation, and spreader dikes. Included are
supplemental, partial, and pre-plant irrigation. Each
acre was counted only once regardless of the number
of times it was irrigated or harvested. If an operation
reported less than one acre irrigated, the irrigated land
for the operation was rounded to one acre. Livestock
lagoon wastewater distributed by sprinkler or flood
systems was also included.
Land in berries. Data are for total land in berries.
Respondents in 2017 reported bearing age acres and
nonbearing acres by individual berry crops. In 2012
and previous censuses, respondents reported acres
harvested and acres not harvested of individual berry
crops.
Land in farms. The acreage designated as ‘‘land in
farms’’ consists primarily of agricultural land used for
crops, pasture, or grazing. It also includes woodland
and wasteland not actually under cultivation or used
for pasture or grazing, provided it was part of the farm
producer’s total operation. Large acreages of
woodland or wasteland held for nonagricultural
purposes were deleted from individual reports during
the edit process. Land in farms includes CRP, WRP,
FWP, and CREP acres. For definitions of these types
of land, please refer to 2017 Census of Agriculture,
Volume 1, Appendix B.
Land in farms is an operating unit concept and
includes land owned and operated as well as land
rented from others. Land used rent free was reported
as land rented from others. All grazing land, except
land used under government permits on a per-head
basis, was included as ‘‘land in farms’’ provided it
was part of a farm or ranch. Land under the exclusive
use of a grazing association was reported by the
grazing association and included in the grazing
association farm as land in farms. All land in
American Indian reservations used for growing crops,
grazing livestock, or the potential of grazing livestock
was included as land in farms. Land in reservations
not reported by reservation, individual American
Indians, or non-Native Americans was reported in the
name of the cooperative group that used the land. In
some instances, an entire American Indian reservation
was reported as one farm.
Land in orchards. Starting in 2017, pineapples were
moved from the field crops section to the fruit and nut
section. As a result, land in orchards includes
pineapples and it is not directly comparable to 2012.
2017 Census of Agriculture Appendix A - 3 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
This category includes land in bearing age and
nonbearing age fruit trees, citrus or other groves,
vineyards, and nut trees of all ages, including land on
which all fruit crops failed. Respondents also reported
bearing age acres and nonbearing age acres by
individual fruit and nut crops.
Land in vegetables. Starting in 2017, taro and ginger
root were moved from the field crops section to the
vegetables section. As a result, land in vegetables
includes taro and ginger root and it is not directly
comparable to 2012. Data are for the total land used
for vegetable and melon crops. The acres were
reported only once, even though two or more harvests
of a vegetable or more than one vegetable were
harvested from the same acres.
Maple syrup. Data are for farms, the number of taps
set, and syrup produced.
Market value of agricultural products sold. This
category represents the gross market value before
taxes and production expenses of all agricultural
products sold or removed from the place in 2017
regardless of who received the payment. It is
equivalent to total sales and it includes sales by the
producers as well as the value of any shares received
by partners, landlords, contractors, or others
associated with the operation. It includes the value of
organic sales, direct sales, and the value of
commodities placed in Commodity Credit
Corporation (CCC) loan programs. Market value of
agricultural products sold does not include payments
received for participation in other Federal farm
programs. It does not include income from farm-
related sources such as customwork and other
agricultural services, or income from nonfarm
sources.
Market value of all crops. Data included in this
category are the value of sales for all crops in 2017 on
farms with specialty crops. This includes, but is not
limited to, row crops, small grains, forage crops,
vegetables, orchards, vineyards, berries, horticulture,
and other specialty crops.
The value of crops sold in 2017 does not necessarily
represent the sales from crops harvested in 2017. Data
may include sales from crops produced in earlier
years and may exclude some crops produced in 2017
but held in storage and not sold.
The value of agricultural products sold was requested
of all producers. If the producers failed to report this
information, estimates were made based on the
amount of crops harvested, livestock or poultry
inventory, or number sold. Sales figures are expressed
in current dollars and have not been adjusted for
inflation or deflation.
Migrant farm labor on farms reporting only
contract labor. Data are for those operations that did
not have hired farm workers but reported that they did
have migrant contract workers on their operation in
2017.
Migrant farm labor on farms with hired labor.
Producers were asked whether any hired or contract
workers were migrant workers. A migrant farm
worker is a farm worker whose employment required
travel that prevented the worker from returning to
his/her permanent place of residence the same day.
More than one race reported. This category
represents those producers who reported more than
one race on the census form.
Noncitrus fruit. This is a summation of the fruit acres
reported and defined as noncitrus such as apples,
grapes, and plums.
Nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, and sod. Data
are for total square feet under protection and acres in
the open. Individual crop data were collected for area
under glass or other protection, area in the open, and
sales of aquatic plants, floriculture and bedding crops,
nursery crops, sod, propagative materials, food crops
grown under protection, and mushroom crops. Total
sales data are the summation of all crops.
Other specialty crops. Data for this category relate
to other specialty crops harvested and irrigated acres.
Commodities included in this category are dried
herbs, hops, jojoba, mint tea leaves, peppermint,
spearmint, and sweet corn for seed. The crops
included in this category are not the same as in 2012;
data are not comparable.
Primary occupation of producer. Data on primary
A - 4 Appendix 2017 Census of Agriculture USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
occupation were obtained from up to four producers
per farm. The primary occupation classifications used
were:
1. Farm or ranch work. The producer spent 50
percent or more of his/her worktime during 2017
farming or ranching.
2. Other. The producer spent less than 50 percent of
his/her worktime during 2017 farming or
ranching.
Producer. The term producer designates a person
who is involved in making decisions for the farm
operation. Decisions may include decisions about
such things as planting, harvesting, livestock
management, and marketing. The producer may be
the owner, a member of the owner’s household, a
hired manager, a tenant, a renter, or a sharecropper. If
a person rents land to others or has land worked on
shares by others, he/she is considered the producer
only of the land which is retained for his/her own
operation. The census collected information on the
total number of male producers, the total number of
female producers, and demographic information for
up to four producers per farm.
Producer characteristics. Producers (up to four
producers per farm) were asked to report primary
occupation, sex, age, race, if they were of Hispanic,
Latino or Spanish origin, place of residence, if retired
from farming, number of days worked off farm, year
in which his/her operation of the farm began, year
began operating any farm, if they were a hired
manager, if they had military service, and the number
of persons living in their households. In addition the
total number of male and female producers was
collected from each operation.
Producers, number. Demographic and other
information were collected for up to four producers
per farm. This may be fewer than the total number of
producers on some farms.
Producers of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin.
This category is relabeled from 2012.
Pulse crops. Commodities included in this category
are dry edible beans, chickpeas (garbanzo beans), dry
peas (including dry edible, wrinkled seed, dry
southern (cowpeas), and Austrian winter), dry lima
beans, and lentils.
Race of producer. With the exception of Hawaii,
data were collected for American Indian or Alaska
Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native
Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White
producers. Respondents were asked to mark one or
more of the race categories. In Hawaii, producer race
data were collected for American Indian or Alaska
Native, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, Other
Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian,
other Pacific Islander, and White. The combination of
Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander is
equivalent to the Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific
Islander category on the other forms. The
combination of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean,
and Other Asian categories is equivalent to the Asian
category on the other forms.
Short rotation woody crops. Acreage data are for
acres in production of short rotation woody crops that
grow from seed to a mature tree in 10 years or less.
Value of sales data are for the trees that were
harvested and sold. These are trees for use by the
paper or pulp industry or as engineered wood. This
does not include lumber. Acres in production were
included in Cropland harvested in the Land use
section of the census report form.
Specialty crops. Included in this category are fruits,
tree nuts, berries, vegetables, potatoes, melons, pulse
crops, nursery, greenhouse, floriculture, cultivated
Christmas trees, short rotation woody crops, and other
specialty crops.
Tree nuts. This category includes the acres in
production reported in commodities defined as tree
nuts such as almonds, chestnuts, hazelnuts,
macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts. It
does not include peanuts.
