The continued success of agriculture in Alabama depends on how well we educate the next generation of farmers and Alabama is blessed with strong youth organizations such as the Future Farmers of America and the Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program to support this transition. Not only are these organizations vital in training our youth how to become successful farmers, they are essential in teaching our children the importance of where their food and fiber comes from. For many years, these organizations have effectively prepared our young people for additional educational opportunities in our agri-science high school programs and for agricultural degrees offered by Alabama A&M, Auburn, and Tuskegee Universities. The training received from these excellent universities has produced exceptional farmers as well as highly regarded professionals in research and business. As the Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries in Alabama, I support the Alabama agri-science professionals who work as advisors and educators to our youth and I am proud of their accomplishments. And I am especially proud of our young people who’ve made a commitment to agriculture despite all of the challenges it represents. It is through their commitment and dedication that the strong farming legacy in Alabama will continue.

Ron Sparks Commissioner

My father was born in 1929, the same year as the stock market crash and the year many consider to be the start of the great depression. Despite the difficult times, my father managed to acquire a calf for his 4-H project and the money he realized from the sale of that calf funded a trip to Florida to visit his cousins. This changed his life. The Cooperative Extension Service’s 4-H clubs along with other youth oriented agricultural organizations such as the Future Farmers of America have changed the lives of thousands of our state’s young people by teaching them the value of hard work and the importance of agriculture. Educating our youth not only benefits Alabama by producing competent farmers, it also creates an awareness and appreciation among its citizens of the food they eat and the clothes they wear. Once again, as the director for the Alabama Field Office, USDA/NASS, I want to thank our field and telephone enumerators for doing an outstanding job always under tight time constraints. Without their dedication and commitment, the data in this bulletin would not exist. And once again I want to thank the office staff for compiling another excellent bulletin. Finally, I want to thank the farmers in Alabama for taking the time out from of their busy schedules to respond to our surveys. Your responses ensure that the Alabama Agricultural Statistics Bulletin is an accurate source of information as well as your voice to tell the public who you are and what you do.

Crops Review 2009 Weather once again played a major role during the 2009 crop year. Alabama saw excessive rainfall in the spring, a dry summer, and heavy rains in the fall and winter. Despite the wet planting season, planted acreage for the four major crops (corn, cotton, peanuts, and soybeans) totaled 1,130,000 acres, an increase of 25,000 acres from 2008. As of June 6, 2009, the average crop condition for corn, cotton, peanuts, and soybeans was 11 percent fair, 84 percent good, and 6 percent excellent. Soil moisture condition was rated 85 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus. Harvesting of fall crops were delayed because of the persistent rains, with some cotton being harvested after the first of the New Year. Corn planted acres were forecast at 260,000 acres, down 7 percent from 2008. Corn conditions in early June showed 90 percent mostly fair to good conditions. The crop had good stands and growers expecting record yields. The final corn acreage increased to 280,000 planted acres, up 20,000 acres from 2008. Producers harvested 250,000 acres for grain with a yield of 108 bushels per acre. Total grain production grew from 24.4 million bushels in 2008 to 27.0 million bushels in 2009. Cotton planted acres were forecast in March at 280,000 acres, a 3 percent decrease from 2008. Wet weather delayed planting in some areas resulting in a late crop in 2009. The cotton crop was at 90 percent planted in early June with the condition at 95 percent mostly fair to good. Final cotton planted acres were estimated at 255,000 acres. The end of season cotton production was estimated at 345,000 bales from 248,000 harvested acres. Yield for the 2009 crop was 668 pounds, down 119 pounds from the previous year. Peanut planted acres in 2009 were estimated at 155,000 acres and remained unchanged at the end of the season. Planting was delayed by the wet conditions with only 77 percent of the crop planted in early June as compared to a 5 year average of 94 percent. However, peanut conditions in early June showed 75 percent of the crop in good condition. Peanuts yielded 3,100 pounds per acre, down from the previous year record of 3,500 pounds. Farmers harvested 152,000 acres and produced 471.2 million pounds of peanuts in 2009. Similar to other crops, late planted peanuts suffered from the wet conditions at harvest. Soybean planted acres were at 440,000 acres, up 22 percent from 2008. Conditions for the soybean crop were 97 percent in mostly in fair to good condition. Soybean production totaled 17.2 million bushels from 430,000 harvested acres, an increase of 40 percent from the previous year. Soybeans set a record yield at 40 bushels per acre. Wheat seeded acres were estimated at 220,000 acres, down slightly from 2008. Harvested acres were estimated at 180,000 acres. Wheat yield was 55 bushels per acre which produced 9.9 million total bushels. Total hay stocks for December 2009 increased to 1.70 million tons, up 160, 000 tons from December 2008. Hay yielded 2.4 tons per acre, up from the 2.2 tons per acre produced in 2008. Hay production totaled 1.92 million tons of hay harvested from 800,000 acres, a decrease of 100,000 acres from the previous year. Sweet potato production totaled 391,000 pounds, a decrease of 47,000 pounds from 2008.
