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.

Survey Methods The 2005 Rotational Vegetable Survey questionnaire was mailed to operations on the USDA, NASS, Michigan Field Office’s list sampling frame that had indicators of vegetables. The first mailing occurred in mid-October 2005. Questionnaires were sent to potato and mint operations in late November 2005. Operators who did not respond by mail were telephoned or interviewed in person in November, December, and January. Acres by crop were estimated for those who refused or who were unable to be contacted. Completion rates by type were as follows: mailed, 26 percent; telephoned, 38 percent; interviewed, 17 percent; and estimated, 19 percent. The percent of cooperation varied widely by crop, as shown in the table below. The definition of a commercial grower for this inventory was anyone growing at least one total acre of the crops of interest:

potatoes, mint, or vegetables. There were a total of 1,690 such farms identified. That was up from 1,550 four years ago. The increase was in small vegetable farms. Four years ago there were 625 farms with 10 acres or less of vegetables. That count rose to 780 in 2005. Much of the increase can be attributed to better list coverage of small farms. The total acres of vegetables fell by two percent since 2001 to just over 173,000. Acres planted for major counties for each vegetable crop and utilization are shown except when confidentiality rules prohibited county level data publication. Several vegetable farms operated in more than one county. The individual crop acres were split among the counties according to the percentage of the total vegetable acres in each county. The farm was, however, attributed to only the county with the majority of vegetable acres.
