September 2010 Michigan is a state rich in agriculture history and farming tradition. The Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) is proud of the role it plays in assuring a strong, viable food and agriculture industry in our state. We are equally proud of the partnership we have built with the Michigan Field Office of USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service to provide you accurate data with which to gauge agriculture’s importance to the economy. The impact of Michigan agriculture on our state’s economy is $71.3 billion and growing, which equips our state to take on the challenge of a new, diverse business environment. Production agriculture, food processing, and related businesses employ approximately one million residents. Further, our unique landscape produces more than 200 commodities, making the state second only to California in terms of crop diversity. Michigan exports about one-third of its agricultural commodities each year. In 2008, our annual agricultural exports generated nearly $1.7 billion, and employed over 19,000 residents. The state is also home to 56,000 farms averaging 179 acres each. Significant growth in the number of small farms over the past few years, as well as large farms, is very promising. More than 31 percent of the state’s total farmland is in some form of preservation agreement. MDA continues its goal to protect consumers by ensuring a safe, secure and wholesome food supply; promoting Michigan agricultural products, the expansion of value-added opportunities, and agricultural tourism in our state; and preserving our 10 million acres of farmland and the qualify of life Michigan’s rural areas. Our producers, industry organizations, and federal counterparts are vital to ensuring the growth of our industry. It is indeed an exciting time to be part of this dynamic industry. MDA will continue to serve Michigan citizens with great pride and enthusiasm. If you have questions or comments about MDA or our state’s agriculture industry, please contact the department at (800) 292-3939 or [email protected].
Sincerely,
Don Koivisto Director

RE: NASS 2009-10 Agricultural Statistics publication
Michigan State University is pleased to partner with the Michigan Department of
Agriculture and the National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA) in continuing the long
tradition of providing data on Michigan’s agricultural economy with the release of the 2009-
10 Agricultural Statistics publication information on the changing production patterns and
production units in Michigan is very valuable as the College of Agriculture and Natural
Resources, the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station and Michigan State University
Extension develop our research and education plans and programs.
Our goal is to assist the agricultural sector in their efforts to continue to grow and provide
for the food and fiber needs of families, in Michigan and across the globe. In addition, we
strive to assist a wide variety of agricultural producers and agribusiness firms to be
sustainable, environmentally and economically.
We look forward to continuing this partnership as Michigan Agriculture continues to grow
and prosper.

Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of the commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector's
contribution to the National economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production, regardless of ownership. Net farm
income is the farm operator's share of income from the sector's production activities. The concept presented is consistent with that employed by the
Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 3
A positive value of inventory change represents current-year production not sold by December 31. A negative value is an offset to production from prior
years included in current-year sales.

Growing Season Weather Summary Dr. Jeff Andresen, Michigan State University
The 2009 growing season in Michigan was a major challenge
to growers due to the combination of abnormally cool temperatures
and several extended wet spells. Similar to the 2008 season, the
2009 growing season was preceded by a persistent high amplitude
jet stream pattern characterized by large troughs across western and
central North America set up just before Thanksgiving last fall and
persisted into early March. Mean temperatures for the December
through February winter months generally ranged from 2-5 degrees
Fahrenheit (F.) below normal across the state. In terms of
precipitation, winter totals generally ranged from near to slightly
below normal levels across western sections of Upper Michigan to
much above normal over large sections of the Lower Peninsula,
where some areas received more than 200% of normal values. For
the state as a whole, this past winter was among the wettest 10
percent of winters since 1895. Soil moisture levels at the beginning
of April ranged from much above normal levels across southern and
central sections of the state to drier than normal across some
northern sections.
Wetter and somewhat cooler than normal weather during April
and early May led to significant delays in spring fieldwork and
planting across the region. As of the 10th of May, when historically
more than half the corn crop is usually planted, only 18% had been
planted (USDA/NASS, 2009). An upper air pattern shift led to
warmer temperatures and more seasonable conditions during late
May.
During early June an upper air pattern set up across North
America that would persist for much of the remainder of June and
much of July. In addition to the cooler than normal temperatures,
the northwesterly upper air pattern also reduced the amount of Gulf
of Mexico-origin moisture reaching the region. Precipitation totals
for June and July generally fell to much below normal levels, with
many western and northern sections of the state reporting less than
50% of normal rainfall. Following a cooler than normal June with
mean temperatures generally from 0.5-2.5 degrees F. below normal.
July mean temperatures across Michigan generally ranged from 3-6
degrees F. below normal, with an overall statewide mean only
slightly warmer than the standing record set in 1992. Records for
the coolest July on record were set at many individual sites across
the Midwest. The cool weather slowed growth and development
rates of almost all crops, and phenological development lagged
more than two weeks behind historical averages by month’s end.
During early August, the large upper air ridge that brought heat
and dryness to much of the western U.S. temporarily moved
eastward to the Midwest and east, providing somewhat warmer
temperatures. Cooler weather returned in late August, with mean
temperatures for the month generally remaining from 1-3 degrees F.
below the climatological normals. In one of the most important
weather developments during the season, an upper air ridging
pattern set up across the central U.S. during early September,
leading to an extended period of warmer and drier than normal
weather. Mean temperatures for the month ranged from near to 3
degrees F. above normal, the only month of the season with above
normal temperatures. Frost and freezing temperatures brought an
end to the growing season in some scattered northern areas of the
state on the 19th, and to much of the remainder of the state on the
morning of October 1st. Some areas of the Saginaw Valley and
Thumb regions of the state missed both these events and did not
experience a killing freeze until the 11th of the month.
With a return of upper air troughing across the region, weather
for crop maturation, field drydown, and early harvest was very poor
during October. Mean temperatures fell back to below normal levels
and precipitation totals surged well above the historical averages.
Some western sections of the state reported more than 20 days of
the month with precipitation, with very few if any fieldwork
opportunities. Milder and drier than normal weather returned
during early November and persisted through Thanksgiving,
allowing growers to finally catch up with harvesting.
Overall for the 5-month May-September period, precipitation
totals ranged from much below normal levels across northern
sections of the state (the fifth consecutive year in which this has
occurred) to near normal in eastern sections of the state. Mean
temperatures and seasonal growing degree day accumulations were
well below the climatological normals, with seasonal base 50 F.
growing degree day accumulations generally remaining from 100 to
more than 400 units below normal. The greatest departures from
normal were observed in the northern sections of the state. The
combination of cool temperatures and persistent wet weather early
in the season resulted in many crops lagging far behind normal
phenological stages throughout the season, and to unusually high
grain moisture levels and drying costs at the end of the season.

Barley Michigan barley growers planted 13,000 acres and harvested
11,000 acres in 2009. Total production was 561,000 bushels, up 22
percent from 2008. The average yield increased by 5 bushels to 51
bushels per acre. Barley planting began in April but was behind the
five-year average. The crop benefitted from the cool, wet
temperatures early in the growing season. At the end of May, early
planted fields were slightly damaged due to the abundance of
moisture; late planted fields were not affected. The majority of the
crop was in good condition throughout the growing season. Harvest
began and was completed during the month of August.

Corn There were 2.35 million acres planted to corn in 2009, down
50,000 acres from 2008. Grain corn production was 309.3 million
bushels, up 5 percent from 2008; 2.09 million acres were harvested
for grain. The record high yield of 148 bushels per acre was up 10
bushels per acre from the 2008 crop. Farmers harvested 220,000
acres of corn for silage; the average yield was 15.5 tons per acre.
Planting of corn in Michigan began in earnest about April 27,
well behind normal. Wet cool conditions prevailed during May, and
planting progress remained about 10 days behind average. Planting
was done about June 10. Emergence was also well behind; by June
15 corn plants had not emerged on almost 5 percent of the acres;
cumulative growing degree days were well behind normal for the
northern half of the major corn growing area. About 70 percent of
the crop was rated good to excellent in mid-June. Crop
development was about ten days behind normal throughout the
growing season. There was plentiful rainfall across all major corn-
growing areas throughout the year except in July. Rainfall in
August, however, was above normal. There was virtually no heat
stress. Sixty percent of the acreage was rated good or excellent at
the outset of September. Michigan corn harvest began about
October 1. Only about one-third of the crop was mature, well behind
normal. Cold wet weather throughout October caused slow dry
down of grain and difficulty combining in wet fields. Only 10
percent of acres were harvested November 1, about 3 weeks behind
the average progress of 55 percent.
The 2009 corn crop was valued at $1.12 billion, down 1 percent
from 2008. Corn continued to be Michigan's number one crop in
value of production. The top three counties in corn production were
Huron, Saginaw, and Lenawee in 2009.

Dry Edible Beans Michigan dry bean planting started the week of May 18, 2009
and was completed by the end of June. Planting did slow in mid-
June due to excessive rains. There was some replanting into July.

Hay and Haylage Michigan hay production was estimated at 2.48 million tons,
down from 2.63 in 2008. Alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures accounted for
79 percent of all dry hay produced. All hay harvested acres were
estimated at 0.99 million, down from 1.02 million in 2008. The
average all hay yield was 2.51 tons per acre, down from 2.58 the
previous year. In early June, harvest was in full swing but growers
reported winter kill had affected their tonnage in comparison to last
year. June and July progressed slowly due to lack of moisture and
cool temperatures. Cool and damp conditions in August slowed
progress of Michigan’s hay crop but September was a better month
for making hay. Alfalfa accounted for 700,000 acres of the total
harvested with a yield of 2.8 tons per acre. Other hay accounted for
290,000 acres with a yield of 1.8 tons per acre. The value of the hay
crop was $352 million, down 12 percent from 2008.

Maple Syrup Michigan maple syrup production was estimated at 82,000
gallons for the 2010 season, 29 percent below 2009 production.
Less than optimal weather conditions decreased yield, thereby,
decreasing production. There was not enough moisture or enough
days and nights of freezing and thawing. The length of the season
was 20 days, compared to 25 days in 2009. Michigan was ranked
sixth in maple syrup production in 2010 and produced 4 percent of
the total U.S. production. Total taps were 490,000, and the syrup
yield was 0.167 gallons per tap. The average price per gallon sold
for 2009 production was $45.00, and the value of production was
$5.175 million, up from $4.305 million in 2008.

Oats There was a decrease in oat acreage for the State in 2009.
Growers planted 70,000 acres of oats in 2009, compared with
75,000 the previous year. Harvested acres, at 55,000, were down
5,000 from last year. Harvested acres were at a record low this year
tying with 2007 and 2001. The 2009 oat production was 3.5 million
bushels, down 12 percent from the previous year. Yield, at 63
bushels per acre, was down 3 bushels from 2008.
Oat planting was nearly complete by the middle of May. The
crop progressed well, but was slightly damaged from the abundance
of rain we experienced at the end of May. Disease and insect
pressure remained low through the summer. The crop was turning
color quickly with harvest beginning in select areas towards the end
of July. Oats in central Michigan were slow to turn and were not
turning evenly in mid July. Harvest was in full swing at the middle
of August and was essentially completed by early September. For
2009, Sanilac County was ranked first in oat production, while
Montcalm, Presque Isle, Huron, and Isabella rounded out the top
five counties.

Potatoes Michigan’s 2009 potato production was 15.66 million
hundredweight, up 5 percent from 14.88 million in 2008. Planted
acres were 45,000 and harvested acres were 43,500. The average
yield was a record high 360 cwt. per acre. In 2009 Michigan again
ranked eighth among states in potato production. The value of 2009
production was 164.4 million dollars, up 9 percent from 2008.
Potato planting began the middle of April and was completed
in a timely manner due to good planting conditions. Emergence was
also good. There has been above normal rain this season with plants
in good to excellent condition. By the first part of July, early planted
fresh potatoes had appeared at farmers markets. Some leafhopper
pressure was reported in various regions of the State. Potatoes grew
well through the summer with cool temperatures and timely rains.
Early harvest for farm markets began in July. Late season rains
caused some storage problems. Some late blight was reported across
the State and farmers were able to take timely corrective action
when needed. As of November 1, 95 percent of the potatoes were
harvested.

Soybeans Michigan soybean production totaled 79.6 million bushels, up
14 percent from 2008. The yield was 40 bushels per acre in 2009, up
3 bushels per acre from the previous year. Planted acres increased
by 100,000 acres over last year’s total to 2.0 million acres in 2009.
Harvested acres increased accordingly to 1.99 million. Soybean
prices fell by 4 percent from 2008. Michigan's soybean crop was
well behind schedule for much of the growing season due to a
generally wet and cool year. Wet spring soils delayed planting and
emergence, but development was close to normal by June. From this
point, cool temperatures slowed crop maturity. Harvest was held up
by wet weather, but was mostly complete by the middle of
November.

Sugarbeets Acres planted to sugarbeets were estimated at 138,000 in 2009,
up 1,000 acres from the previous year. Harvested acreage was
estimated at 136,000, the same as last year. The yield was 24.4 tons
per acre, down 4.3 tons from the previous year’s record yield of
28.7. Sugarbeet production in 2009 totaled 3.32 million tons, down
15 percent from 2008. Planting was complete by mid-May.
Sugarbeet crop development was good with little disease and weed
pressure. Precipitation levels were ideal for the sugarbeet crop
during the critical growing periods, leading to the record yield.
Harvest started out slow due to rains, but proceeded to near normal
by the end of the season. Piling began towards the end of October
and harvest was finished by mid November.

Wheat Michigan’s winter wheat crop was 38.64 million bushels in
2009. Planted acres decreased to 620,000 acres from 730,000 the
previous year. Harvested acreage was down 21 percent from last
year to 560,000 acres. The average yield, 69 bushels per acre, was
the same as last year. The value of the crop decreased 40 percent to
$164 million. Huron, Sanilac, Lenawee, Tuscola, and Saginaw were
the top five counties in wheat production for the second year in a
row.
Winter wheat planting began the third week of September,
2008. Initially, plantings and emergence were behind the five-year
average, but progressed ahead of the five-year average beginning in
mid-October. Winter wheat fields received sufficient snow cover
and weathered well throughout Michigan, despite several bouts of
thawing and refreezing.
A cool, wet spring and summer impeded the progress of the
crop. Though there were reports of Septoria leaf blotch, Fusarium
leaf spot, cephalosporium stripe, and powdery mildew throughout
the growing season, the primary problem that wheat producers
endured was the sprouting in the head of white wheat. Harvest
began in the middle of July. Harvest of this year's crop proved to be
difficult due the moisture received during peak harvest periods.
Many acres of soft white winter wheat began sprouting and was,
therefore, abandoned or destroyed. Harvest began in mid-July and
was completed by the middle of August.

MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS 2009-2010 VEGETABLES 41
Vegetables
Michigan growers produced 841,280 tons of fresh and
processed vegetables in 2009. Harvested acreage was 106,900.
Value of production totaled $256 million. Nationally, Michigan
ranked ninth and sixth, respectively for fresh market and processing
vegetable value of production.
Michigan farmers produced 9.10 million hundredweight (cwt)
of fresh market vegetables, an increase of 8 percent from 2008.
Processing vegetable production totaled 386,280 tons. Wet weather
in late April and early May delayed vegetable planting by a week.
Although warmer temperatures and drier conditions in mid-May
allowed growers to get caught up with field preparations, cool,
cloudy days through the first week of June kept plant growth behind
schedule. Cool and dry conditions throughout July kept crop
development for several warm season vegetables at one to two
weeks behind schedule. Heavy rains which fell across the state the
weekend of August 8-9 provided temporary relief for many
producers, but also brought some damage to vegetable crops on
muck soils. Warm, dry weather in September allowed producers to
accelerate the pace of harvest; however, a hard frost on October 1
effectively ended harvest of warm season vegetables.
Michigan ranked third, behind California and Washington, for
dual purpose asparagus production with 235,000 cwt produced,
down 9 percent from last year’s 258,000 cwt. Harvest began in mid-
May with some frost damage reported. Production, due to cooler
temperatures, was slow. Asparagus harvest was finished in
Southwest Michigan by mid-June, while in the west central region,
harvest continued until late June due to the slow growth of the crop.
Growers in the southwest reported above average yields, while
growers in the west central region reported production was down
10-20%. Despite the lower yields, growers reported the crop quality
was good. Light spotty frosts occurred early in the spring, but frost
damage was below normal statewide. Common asparagus beetle
was not a severe problem during the cooler conditions, but cutworm
problems were reported to be worse than normal due to the slow
growth rate.

Census of Agriculture
2008 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey
In 2008, Michigan farmers irrigated 531,927 acres, approximately 5 percent of the land in farms reported on the 2007 Census of
Agriculture. This total ranked Michigan twenty-first in the U.S. for acres irrigated. 2,121 Michigan farms irrigated in 2008.
In Michigan, growers applied an average of 0.6 acre-feet per acre. Wells provided the largest percentage of irrigation water
applied in 2008. The number of wells capable of being used for irrigation in 2008 was 4,439, but only 4,097 were used. The
remainder of the irrigation water came from off-farm water supplies and on-farm surface sources.
Corn for grain or seed continued as the dominant irrigated crop for Michigan with 248,790 irrigated harvested acres; 47 percent
of irrigated land. Vegetables, including potatoes, ranked second in the State with 114,222 acres irrigated. Soybeans were
another highly irrigated crop in Michigan.
For the first time, the 2008 FRIS includes horticultural specialty operations with sales of $10,000 or greater. In Michigan in
2008, there were 1,372 horticulture operations who irrigate. These operations applied water to 63.0 million square feet of crops
under protection, and 17 thousand acres of horticultural crops in the open. In Michigan, 795 million gallons were applied to
crops under protection, and 2.1 billion gallons were used to water crops in the open.
The 2008 FRIS is a Census follow-on survey and was conducted in the spring of 2009. Results were published in February
2010, and can be accessed on the Internet at www.agcensus.usda.gov, by clicking on "2008 Farm and Ranch Irrigation Survey."

2008 Organic Production Survey
As a follow-on to the 2007 Census of Agriculture, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) conducted the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s first in-depth survey of organic farming in the United States. NASS collected 2008 data from
operators of farms that were either USDA-certified organic, were making the transition to organic production, or were exempt
from certification because of sales totaling less than $5,000.
Michigan organic sales totaled $71.1 million, including $40.3 million in crops sales, $5.3 million in livestock and poultry sales,
and $25.5 million in sales of livestock and poultry products. Average sales were $160,885 per farm. The average size of
Michigan organic farms is 148 acres. In 2008, Michigan had 68 farms in the process of transitioning 5,387 more acres of
cropland to organic production.
Results of the 2008 Organic Production Survey can be accessed on the Internet at www.agcensus.usda.gov, by clicking on

Agricultural Statistics Districts
The State is divided into nine Agricultural Statistics Districts to
make data comparison easier. An Agricultural Statistics District is
a contiguous group of counties having relatively similar
agricultural characteristics. Each district has within it more
homogeneous agriculture than the State as a whole. They are
numbered from north to south and west to east.
