Agriculture: Backbone of Louisiana’s EconomyThis publication tabulates the value of Louisiana agriculture in 2017. Agents and specialists of the Louisiana

Cooperative Extension Service and other agencies — both private and public — compiled the data. Their analysis focuses on the animal, forestry, fisheries, plant and wildlife commodities that constitute our vital agricultural industries. Agricultural and natural resource industries contribute significantly to our state’s economy with economic benefits and job creation from value-added processing in urban and rural communities throughout Louisiana.

With the effects of excessive rainfall and flooding during 2016 still fresh on the minds of most producers, there were significant concerns about the 2017 production year, which started in a similar fashion. The 2017 calendar year began with mild temperatures and optimal soil moisture. This helped spur early planting for many commodities and helped establish strong yield potential early in the growing season. However, a continuation of heavy rainfall throughout much of the state began to erode these nearly ideal growing conditions. Rainfall from April 2017 through August 2017 was nearly 16 inches higher than average (a 72 percent increase). Tropical Storm Cindy, which hit the state in June 2017, and the remnants of Hurricane Harvey, which hit in late August 2017, helped add to those rainfall totals and brought heavy winds and storms that are believed to impact pollination for some crops and impact quality for others. While the significant rainfall did help limit irrigation needs and costs, it also likely interfered with timely applications of inputs and further hindered production potential. Fortunately, however, weather began to improve dramatically in September, and favorable conditions lasted for most of the remainder of the year. For some crops, this helped limit impacts and allowed for record or near-record yields. However, for most crops, the improvement in weather conditions was not enough to fully capture the production potential that existed at the start of the growing season. For other crops, the improvement was too late to reverse both the yield and quality stresses from the wet period.

Despite the challenging weather conditions in 2017, yields for most row crop commodities showed improvement over the weather-impacted levels of 2016. Leading the way were sugar yields that reached record levels and were nearly 9 percent higher than 2016. Corn and soybeans also experienced significant yield increases in 2017 versus the previous year and were within a few bushels of reaching record levels. Other commodities experiencing increases in yield in 2017 were rice, wheat, sweet potatoes, peanuts and many vegetable crops. For cotton and grain sorghum, the good start to the growing season was not enough to overcome the difficulties caused by the excessively wet summer and saw yields fall by 6 and 4 percent, respectively, from the previous year.

While the overall production year could generally be viewed as a success for most commodities, the same could not be said for the marketing environment during 2017. For many commodities, the 2017 calendar year saw a continuation in the trend of the last three to four years of low commodity prices. Increasing supplies and stocks have continued to outpace demand and place downward pressure on prices. Row crop commodities that experienced lower prices for the calendar year 2017 included rice, soybeans, corn, grain sorghum and sweet potatoes sold in the fresh market. Cotton and wheat prices were up during 2017 as lower supplies caused by lower acreage or weather-related yield reductions helped to support prices. Sugar prices were also up slightly as supply and demand conditions continued to support that market despite increased production.

Unlike the row crop sector, the overall price scenario for the livestock sector had a much more positive tone for the 2017 calendar year. While still at significant discounts from levels seen earlier in the decade, beef cattle prices seemed to stabilize somewhat in 2017 after a couple of years of declining prices. While prices did not increase across all types and classifications of cattle, prices for heavier feeder steers and heifers were marginally higher as cheap feed costs and strong beef demand helped to counteract the impacts of higher cattle numbers and increased beef production. Despite the marginally higher prices, profitability in the cattle industry remains significantly lower than the levels experienced earlier in the decade. Lower profitability is likely being reflected in the lower prices being seen for replacement and cull breeding cattle. Prices for sheep and goats were also mostly higher in 2017 as lower overall U.S. production and stable demand helped to support prices. Milk prices were also marginally higher during the 2017 calendar year because of stable production and slightly improved demand. While the higher

milk prices are welcomed, they remain at levels that will continue to place pressure on the profitability of dairy operations and will likely not be sufficient to break the trend of decreasing dairy numbers in the state. Finally, broiler prices were also higher during the 2017 calendar year as increased demand help support prices despite higher production levels.

Prices for the fisheries and wildlife enterprises were mostly mixed. Prices for both farm-raised and wild-caught crawfish were lower than the previous year as the continued expansion of crawfish production begins to outpace still strong demand. Likewise, prices for both farm-raised and wild-caught alligators were lower as higher production and stagnant demand pressured prices. Other fisheries commodities experiencing lower prices during the reporting year were crabs, oysters and soft-shell crabs. For other commodities, including freshwater and saltwater finfish, prices were higher than the previous year. Likewise, prices for menhaden were also reported slightly higher, and shrimp prices were nearly 12 percent higher than the previous year, ending the trend of the previous three years of lower prices.

While the production and price challenges faced by individual commodities and producers did vary considerably in 2017, the overall improvement in production levels and the ability for many commodity prices to stabilize and show slight improvements helped to increase the total economic activity associated with the Louisiana agriculture, forestry and fishery industries. The total gross farm value (the amount of revenue estimated to be generated by producers from the sale of their commodities) for the Louisiana agriculture, forestry and fishery industries was up over 7 percent from the previous year. Leading the way for the increase were the plant enterprises, which saw their collective gross farm value increase by more than 9 percent from the previous year. A combination of higher acreage and stronger production levels more than offset stagnant prices. Significant increases in gross farm value for cotton, forestry, soybeans, sugarcane, sweet potatoes and vegetables more than offset reductions in feed grains, fruits and rice. The collective gross farm value of the fisheries and wildlife enterprises was up more than 7 percent, with increases in the freshwater and marine fisheries leading the way. The animal enterprises saw the smallest increase in the collective gross farm value, with about a 3 percent increase. Increases in the gross farm value of poultry, sheep and goats were mostly offset by decreases for beef cattle, milk and horses.

Commodities produced by agricultural producers are cleaned, processed and packaged at the next stages of the marketing channel. These value-added activities create additional economic activity over and above that defined by the gross farm value. In 2017, these value-added activities were estimated to have an additional economic impact of $5.4 billion. Taken together, the gross farm value and value-added activities were estimated to have a total economic impact of nearly $11.8 billion. This represents an increase of more than 7 percent from 2016 and is the first year-over-year increase since the 2014 year. Given the level of economic activity that the state’s agriculture, forestry and fishery industries continue to generate each year, it is undeniable that they continue to be major contributors to the overall state economy. Cutting-edge research programs and extension education and outreach efforts of the LSU AgCenter remain critical to sustaining these economic benefits.

Many Louisiana communities depend on agriculture, forestry, fisheries and wildlife for local jobs and their economic well-being. However, for those who work in it day in and day out, agriculture, forestry and fisheries are far more than a business, a major job contributor and an economic engine. It truly is a way of life. Families have lived on many of these farms, forest lands or fishing villages for generations, following a preferred way of life even though it means hard work, long hours, high risks and sometimes low incomes.

Each new production season has risks associated with commodity prices, trade agreements and higher input costs as well as uncertainty related to the weather. These conditions make the discovery and adoption of new agricultural technology developed by the LSU AgCenter more important than ever to our state’s producers. Agriculture is a highly sophisticated segment of the national and world economy, becoming increasingly so every year. That is the reason we at the LSU AgCenter continue to support agriculture and consumers with factual information provided by a well-trained faculty of extension agents, specialists and research scientists.

Those of us in the LSU AgCenter, with its major branches of the Louisiana Cooperative Extension Service and the Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station, are proud to be part of Louisiana’s agricultural industry, and we are committed to serving that industry and the citizens across the state of Louisiana in the years ahead.

LOUISIANA SUMMARYAgricultural and Natural Resources

2017The statistical information in this summary was compiled from estimates made by extension agents of the LSU

AgCenter after consulting with agricultural agency representatives, agricultural and agribusiness leaders and others and after study of various reports and resource materials. State specialists with the LSU AgCenter checked parish-level data for specific commodities to ensure the accuracy and consistency of all production information. Final review of data was conducted by LSU AgCenter agricultural economist and project director Dr. Kurt Guidry in consultation with external sources, including state and federal statistical agencies. Any inquiries about the data in this publication should be directed to Dr. Kurt Guidry in the LSU AgCenter’s Department of Agricultural Economics, who oversees the process of gathering all information for the Louisiana Summary.

Although this material is reasonably accurate and can be used for planning and other general informational purposes, this is not the official document of agricultural data for the state. Official statistical data are gathered, summarized and published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, Delta Regional Field Office, 10800 Financial Centre Parkway, Suite 110, Little Rock, Arkansas, 72211. Reproduction or publication of information in this summary should acknowledge the Louisiana Summary as the source but also indicate the unofficial nature of the statistics.

Gross farm value was calculated for each commodity, which in some cases included a value from natural resources and consequently may not represent income to farmers. Gross farm values were calculated using calendar-year, market-weighted, state-level average prices when available. When state-level price information was unavailable, price information was used from adjacent states (Texas, Arkansas or Mississippi) or the nation. Primary sources for prices were: USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service, USDA Agricultural Marketing Service and USDA Economic Research Service. The gross farm value is an indicator of the commodity’s contribution to economic activity in the state but was not an indicator of farm profits. Production costs greatly affect profit (or loss) for all commodities. Even when gross income increases over previous years, corresponding increases in production costs may decrease farm profits.

In the state summaries, the value added in cleaning, processing, packaging, marketing and transporting commodities was an estimate of the total contribution of agriculture and natural resources to the state’s economy. The state summary may not be not an exact summation of all parish reports as adjustments may occur because of changes in average prices received or to accommodate information from other sources. In each parish table, only commodities that were of commercial economic value in that parish this year were listed. In some instances, the number of producers or the number of acres in a parish were not available. An asterisk was used to avoid releasing confidential information when too few producers were present for that commodity. Within some commodity groups, such as grains, fruits and commercial vegetables, the total number of producers has been omitted because some producers grow several different crops within the group. Adding together the producers of individual crops would not give a true total for the group.

NEW FOR 2017Changes have been made that will affect the format of this and subsequent issues. A brief description of these

changes is provided below.

• For the plant enterprises, in addition to harvested acres, estimates of planted acres are included where appropriate.

• For sweet potatoes, in addition to segmenting production and gross farm values into fresh and canning markets, a third market (processing market) has been added to address this growing market segment.

• For grain sorghum, the units of measure have been changed from hundredweights (cwt) to the more universally recognized bushels.

• The units in which prices are reported for sweet potatoes and sugarcane have changed to more universally recognized units.

◊ For sweet potatoes, prices were changed from being reported on a price per bushel basis to a price per 40-pound box for fresh market and a price per hundredweight (cwt) for processing and canning markets.

◊ For sugarcane, sugar and molasses prices were changed from being reported as only the producer landlord share (with the mill share removed) to the full-price level. Note: Gross farm values will continue to reflect only the producer/landlord share of crop revenue.

Beef CattleAs was the case in 2016, the 2017 calendar year saw cattle producers in Louisiana increase cow inventory

numbers. While cow inventory numbers increased in 2017, they increased at a much slower rate than the previous year. This reduction in the rate of growth of the cow herd in Louisiana is very similar to what has been seen throughout the U.S. While cattle prices have seemed to stabilize in 2017 from the downward-trending pattern of the last two years, prices remain at a discount compared to 2013 through 2015. The discounted prices have limited profitability for many cattle operations, which has likely helped lead to the slowdown in the expansion of cow numbers.

Helping to offset the low cattle prices were generally favorable production conditions in 2017. The ample rainfall experienced through much of the spring and summer helped to provide ample forage and improved pasture conditions. Also, lower feed grain and fertilizer costs helped to offset discounted cattle prices. While the heavy rains helped pasture conditions, it did make it difficult for hay production, likely limiting the ability of producers to make normal levels of good quality hay.

A total of 559,532 cows were reported in 2017 on 11,543 operations throughout the state. Total cow numbers were up slightly from the 553,945 reported in 2016, while the total number of producers was down marginally from the 11,603 reported in 2016. The gross farm value of 217,722 steers sold in 2017 was $155 million, a decrease of roughly $9 million from the $164 million reported in 2016. The gross farm value of 198,843 heifers sold in 2017 was $128 million, an increase of roughly $1 million from the $127 million reported in 2016.

In 2017, 64,551 yearling cattle (600-800 pounds each) sold for $61 million, an increase of roughly 2,400 head and $9 million from 2016 levels. The number of cow-calf pairs sold in 2017 was reported at 35,723, up roughly 1,000 pairs from 2016. Despite a slightly higher number of cow-calf pairs sold in 2017, drastically lower prices pushed gross farm value down to $35 million, a $14 million reduction from 2016. Finally, gross farm value incomes of both cull cows and cull bulls were down slightly in 2017 on lower prices. Gross farm value for cull cows was reported at $25 million, while gross farm income for cull bulls was $7 million.

When added across all classes of beef cattle, the total gross farm value generated by the beef cattle industry in 2017 was estimated at $412 million, roughly a 3.5 percent reduction from 2016. This reduction compares to the reduction of nearly 50 percent from 2015 to the 2016 calendar year. So, despite a lower overall gross farm value in 2017 as compared to 2016, the stabilization of both prices and inventory numbers have seemed to turn around the large decreases experienced in gross farm values in the previous years. When value-added activities of $52 million are added to gross farm income, the total economic impact of the beef industry in Louisiana during 2017 was estimated at $464 million.

DairyMilk production was reported by 11 parishes in 2017. Three parishes in the southeastern part of the state and

two parishes in the northwestern part accounted for about 92 percent of the herds and more than 93 percent of the cows and milk produced. The number of dairy farms declined from 107 in 2016 to 101 in 2017. The number of milking cows decreased from 12,171 head in 2016 to 11,243 head in 2017. Total milk production decreased from 172 million pounds in 2016 to 155.8 million pounds in 2017. The on-farm value of milk decreased by $2.3 million from $30.4 million in 2016 compared to $28.0 million in 2017. The decrease in the on-farm value of milk in 2017 was due to a reduction in milk production of 16.2 million pounds for 2017 as compared to the previous year.

The value of cull cows, bred heifers, mature cows, breeding-age bulls and calves was $3.8 million. The total value of milk and animal sales to Louisiana dairy producers was $31.8 million. Value added contributed $51.2 million more. The total economic contribution from dairying in Louisiana, including milk sales, animal sales and additional processing, was $83 million, a decrease of over $10 million compared to the previous year.

Animal EnterprisesGross farm income for all animal enterprises was nearly $1.73 billion for 2017, up 3.7 percent from $1.67

billion in 2016. Value added was nearly $1.03 billion for 2017, up from $955 million in 2016. Total value of all animal enterprises in the Louisiana economy was $2.75 billion, up 5 percent from $2.62 billion in 2016.

Another component to the state’s dairy industry has been the production of goat’s milk. While small compared to the dairy cattle industry, dairy goat production has continued to be a viable industry in the state. In 2017, dairy goats were raised by 41 producers. A total of 405 does were reported to have been milked during 2017, producing slightly over 650,000 pounds of goat milk. The gross farm income of the dairy goat industry was estimated at $0.3 million in 2017, down from the nearly $0.5 million generated in 2016.

When combined, milk production from cattle, milk production from goats and the sale of dairy cattle animals generated a gross farm value of $32.1 million in 2017, down from the $36.5 million generated in 2016. Value-added activities associated with the dairy industry contributed another $51.7 million in economic activity to the state in 2017. Total economic activity (gross farm value plus value added) of the Louisiana dairy industry was estimated at $83.9 million in 2017, down from $95.2 million in 2015.

HorsesThe horse industry continues to be a significant component of the agricultural economy in Louisiana. The

horse industry has traditionally been able to be categorized into three sectors: racing, show or competition, and recreational. In terms of number of horse owners, the breakdown of the industry in 2017 into these three sectors was 9 percent racing, 16 percent show or competition, and 75 percent recreational. While the racing sector was the smallest sector in terms of number of horse owners, it presented the largest share of gross farm value generated by the horse industry. In 2017, the breakdown of the horse industry by percentage of total gross farm value generated by each sector was 48 percent racing, 30 percent show or competition, and 22 percent recreational.

The state’s racehorse industry in 2017 included 1,564 breeders. They owned 9,567 mares that produced 6,668 foals that sold for $40 million. Breeders also owned 1,163 stallions that were bred to 8,451 mares, generating income from stud fees of $21.2 million. The total gross farm value generated from racehorse production was $61.1 million. An additional 2,512 racehorse owners had 11,783 racehorses in training or on the track in Louisiana, with a gross farm value of $118.1 million. The gross farm value of the entire race sector (owners’ and breeders’ activities) of the horse industry in 2017 was $179.3 million, not including receipts or fees from racing events or gaming.

The show and competition horse industry (horse shows, barrel racing, cutting, roping, team penning and others) includes 1,435 breeders who own 5,339 mares. The mares produced 3,840 foals that sold for $15.4 million during 2017. These breeders owned 671 stallions that bred with 4,155 mares, generating $6.2 million in income from stud fees. The total income generated from show and competition horse production was $21.6 million. Another 5,479 owners competed on their 18,192 horses, which had a gross farm value of $91 million. The total gross farm value of the show and competition sector of the horse industry was $112.6 million in 2017.

A large portion of the horse industry, both in terms of owners and horses, is recreational. Horses have been used for comfort, exercise and enjoyment for quite some time. Approximately 10,118 recreational horse owners in Louisiana bred 22,651 mares and sold 16,996 foals during 2017 for $18.7 million. These horse enthusiasts owned 1,941 stallions that were bred to 9,436 mares, generating income from stud fees of $4.7 million. The total income from production in the recreational horse industry was $23.4 million during 2017. Another 22,704 recreational horse owners have 52,798 horses valued at $58.1 million — making the total economic contribution of the recreational horse industry $81.5 million in 2017.

There were 132,349 horses in Louisiana owned by 43,822 people. The horses had a gross farm value of $373.3 million in 2017. Value-added activities contributed an additional $41.1 million in 2017, so combining farm-gate value and the value added, the total value of the horse sector was $414.4 million in 2017.

In addition to the estimates of gross farm value and value-added activities, there are other potential impacts of the horse industry to the state’s economy. First, the average horse owner has been reported to spend about $4,000 to $6,000 annually on items such as feed, tack, equipment, veterinary supplies and medicines. Second, the four racetracks in the state employ a large number of people and have been reported to generate expenditures of more than $1 billion annually. Finally, the show and competition industry conducts numerous events and activities each year and is estimated to generate $200 million annually in expenditures. The American Horse Council suggests that the total economic impact of horse production and related activities, including horse racing and competitions, is in excess of $2 billion annually for the state of Louisiana.

Poultry

Broilers and EggsPoultry production continues to be the largest animal agricultural industry in Louisiana and is second only to

forestry in gross farm value for all agricultural commodities. In 2017, 626 Louisiana growers (small producers and commercial operations) produced 881.1 million pounds of broiler meat with a gross farm value of $828.2 million. Commercial broilers are produced in 11 parishes: Bienville, Claiborne, Jackson, Lincoln, Natchitoches, Ouachita, Sabine, Union, Vernon, Webster and Winn.

While broiler production is far and away the largest component of the poultry industry in the state, there are several other components that positively contribute to the state’s economy. A total of 171 breeder flock producers in 2017 produced 19.5 million dozen eggs with a gross farm value of $46.8 million. A total of 99 pullet producers produced over 1.1 million pullets with a gross farm value of $15.2 million. Finally, a total of 811 egg producers (small producers and commercial operations) had a total table egg production value of nearly 22 million dozens, which were valued at $13.8 million.

When all facets of the poultry industry are combined, the total gross farm value was estimated at $904.9 million in 2017, up $83.6 million from 2016. The biggest reason for the increase in gross farm value was a 12 percent increase in broiler prices in 2016. Value-added activities associated with poultry production added an additional $882.3 million in economic activity in the state, bringing the total economic impact of the poultry industry to nearly $1.8 billion in 2017.

QuailQuail production in the state generally consists of smaller operations reaching niche markets. In 2017, a total

of 15,700 were estimated to be produced and sold by 17 producers, resulting in a gross farm value of $43,332. Value-added activities associated with quail production provided an additional $4,767, bringing the total economic contribution of the quail industry to $48,099 in 2017.

RabbitsThe production of rabbits for meat and exhibition involved 424 Louisiana producers during 2017. The rabbit

fryer industry produced approximately 34,270 pounds of meat in 2016. Louisiana rabbit producers generated $112,556 in gross farm income. With value added of $11,818, the total value of rabbit production in Louisiana during 2017 was $124,374.

Sheep and GoatsSheep, lambs and wool were produced by 270 producers in 35 Louisiana parishes during 2017, a decrease from

275 producers during the previous year. The total number of lambs that were marketed (slaughter, feeder and club/show lambs) was estimated to be 4,117 in 2017, up about 400 head from previous year with a gross farm value of $866,745. With a gross farm value of $52,004, the 383 head of stocker sheep sold in 2017 represented a slight increase in value from the previous year. The number of cull sheep sold in 2017 was 556, up from 471 in 2016. Cull sheep sold for $60,397 in 2017. Wool production from 2,777 sheep was 18,717 pounds, valued at $10,482. The total gross farm value from sheep and wool sales was estimated at $989,628 in 2017, up from $882,600 in 2016. With value-added activities of $113,807 added, the total economic impact of the sheep industry was estimated at $1.1 million, up roughly 12 percent from 2016.

The Louisiana goat industry during 2017 consisted of an estimated 827 producers in 59 parishes, down from 850 producers in 2016 with an inventory of 11,000 breeding-aged does. Goat producers marketed a total of 5,952 slaughter goats valued at $984,044, both up slightly from 2016. Stocker goats sold in 2017 numbered 2,776 with a value of $479,276. There were 1,264 cull goats marketed in 2017 at a value of $157,153. Goats sold as club or show goats numbered 1,291 head, valued at $419,575. Gross farm value of goats sold in Louisiana during 2017 was over $2 million, up from $1.8 million in 2016. Value-added activities associated with the goat industry added an additional $255,006 in economic activity, bringing the total economic impact of the industry to nearly $2.3 million, up from $2.1 million in 2016.

SwineThe Louisiana swine industry is primarily composed of relatively small producers. In 2017, a total of 294

producers were estimated to have a total inventory of 1,867 sows, with an average sow inventory per producer of fewer than seven sows. Other than servicing a local or niche market, most of the swine production in the state is targeted to the show/club pig market. In 2017, a total of 2,307 show pigs were estimated to be sold, with a gross farm value of $576,750 representing roughly 50 percent of the total gross farm value generated by the swine industry. Sales of feeder pigs, slaughter hogs and culls represent the remaining 50 percent of the total gross farm value generated by the industry. In 2017, 5,398 feeder pigs were sold for an estimated value of $73,413. Sales of 3,197 slaughter hogs generated a gross farm value of $367,482, while the sale of 780 cull animals (sows and boars) generated a gross farm value of $127,608.

When added together, the gross farm value of all classes of swine is estimated at $1.15 million for 2017, down from the $1.25 million in 2016. Value-added activities associated with the swine industry are estimated at $143,157, bringing the total economic impact of the industry to the state economy to $1.29 million.

Exotic AnimalsWith only roughly 22 producers statewide, the exotic animal industry is a relatively small component of the

total agricultural industry. An estimated 510 deer and five llamas were marketed in 2017 for a gross farm value of $103,500. Total value of production for exotic animals, including value-added activities is estimated at $114,368 for 2017.

Fisheries and Wildlife EnterprisesTotal farm value of all fisheries and wildlife enterprises during 2017 was $885.4 million, up 7.2 percent

from $826.1 million in 2016. Value added in 2017 was $585.2 million, up from $538.7 million the preceding year. Total value of all fisheries and wildlife enterprises to the Louisiana economy for 2017 was $1.47 billion, up from the $1.36 in 2016.

AquacultureLouisiana has long been recognized for supporting one of the most diverse aquaculture industries in the United

States. Species and products such as crawfish, catfish, alligators, oysters, tilapia, baitfish, soft-shelled crawfish and crabs, ornamental fish, baby turtles, a variety of freshwater game fish and other minor species all have been commercialized successfully.

Louisiana’s producers continue to be among the leaders in the nation in crawfish, oyster, pet turtle and alligator sales. Increases in production and gross farm values were experienced in 2017 for catfish, fish bait, alligators and soft-shell crabs, while decreases were experienced for crawfish, catfish, minnows, oysters and turtles.

Farm-raised crawfish continued to be the state’s most valuable aquaculture sector, representing roughly 54 percent of the total gross farm value generated across all aquaculture enterprises. Expansion in demand both within the state and regionally has created increasing incentive for expansion of acreage and production over the last several years. In addition, crawfish production has increasingly been added to farming operations as producers look to offset struggling rice markets. Estimates from the field in 2017 indicated farm-raised crawfish production occupied 222,259 acres, up 3 percent from the previous year, which had set a new record. While total acres were up in 2017, total production was down about 6 percent from the previous year as growing issues with white spot syndrome virus continue to materialize in the state. Lower production and slightly lower prices in 2017 resulted in a total gross farm value of $172.1 million, down 12 percent from the previous year.

Farm-raised alligators were the second largest segment of the aquaculture industry in 2017, with an estimated gross farm value of $83.6 million. Production of farm-raised alligators was up by nearly 50 percent in 2017 to 2.02 million feet. Despite prices continuing to moderate from the highs seen in 2013, higher production levels helped to push gross farm value up nearly 13 percent.

Oyster production typically represents the third largest segment of the aquaculture industry. The oyster production information reported in this summary represents a one-year lag to avoid estimation and projection errors from using data for only part of the year (meaning figures for oysters reported this year are from 2015, not 2016). The reason for the lag is that information on oyster sales is compiled and provided by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries to the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the final compilation of the data is not available until the middle of the year following production. Oyster production continues to rebound from the negative impact of the Deepwater Horizon incident and have now approached the highest levels experienced since 2005. Estimated oyster sales in 2015 of 1.87 million sacks from a total of 1,170 producers were $68.5 million. These numbers represented slight increases in both production and value from 2016.

While the remaining segments of the aquaculture industry continue to provide positive economic impacts to the state, they are at significantly lower levels than crawfish, alligator and oyster production. Pet turtle hatchling production declined again in 2017, with reported sales of just over 2 million animals and a gross farm value of $2.3 million, a drop of 18 percent from the previous year. Many licensed turtle operations continue to be inactive. Fish bait production continues to evolve to meet the growing demand of recreational fishers, with most production held in recirculating systems or flow-through systems. In 2017, the estimated gross farm value of the fish bait industry was $2.5 million. The catfish and minnow industries continue to see the trend of lower production and gross farm values. In 2017, the gross farm value of the catfish industry was $474,390, while the gross farm value of the minnow industry dropped to $47,700. The reduction in the minnow industry reflects more consolidation and concentration in other states, particularly in Arkansas and the upper Midwest. Finally, soft-shell crab production continues to be a fairly minor industry with a limited number of producers. Like the oyster industry, the data for soft-shell crabs come from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and have a one-year lag period. The data reported in this publication are actually 2016 data. In 2016, the gross farm value of the soft-shell crab industry was estimated at $82,139.

Examining the economic impact across all aquaculture enterprises indicates that the total gross farm value in 2017 was $330.1 million, down roughly 4 percent from the previous year. Value-added activities associated with aquaculture production added an additional $222.8 million, bringing the aquaculture industry’s total impact to $552.9 million in 2017.

FisheriesThe harvest of freshwater and marine finfish and shellfish in Louisiana continues to contribute significantly

to the state’s economy. Fishery landings are recorded by two government agencies. The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries receives monthly reports from the initial buyers (processors, dealers, etc.), who are required to record every transaction via trip tickets. Species weights and dockside sales values of the landings are reported for all commercially harvested species. The National Marine Fisheries Service also is responsible for estimating fisheries landings, using both regional National Marine Fisheries Service data collectors and Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries reports. The information reported here is from those two cooperating sources. All this data is provisional and subject to change.

The freshwater and marine fisheries data presented in the report this year (2017) reflect the calendar year 2016. The one-year lag is necessary to ensure data accuracy. Real-time reports on fisheries landings are not available until four months after the fact, and final data often run six to seven months behind. Estimating landings for the second half of the year based on landing reports from the first half are inaccurate. This method of reporting fisheries landings data has been in place since the 2004 Louisiana Summary; data prior to that volume may not be directly comparable to the data reported since 2004 because of using the different estimation methods. To compare state-level landings for years prior to 2004 on a calendar-year basis, please consult the US-NOAA-NMFS website.

One final caveat is that parish totals for fisheries landings will not equal the state total because of legal confidentiality requirements. When there are fewer than three sources in a parish that report landings of a fisheries commodity, the number of landings cannot be publicly released by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries without breaking confidentiality requirements. There may also be parishes reported in this volume for which no landings or values were provided by either of those agencies but for which there was catch. Furthermore, fisheries landings are reported for the parish in which the fish are offloaded — not the parish in which the boat and its crew may be domiciled or the parish where the catches actually were made. However, producer estimates are based on commercial licenses, which are based on the domiciles of the fishers.

Freshwater FisheriesThe freshwater finfish are primarily bowfin, catfish, buffalo, shad, gar and carp and typically are less valuable

on a per-pound basis than marine finfish. Total freshwater finfish value remained mostly unchanged (down 0.16 percent) at $5.09 million for 11.5 million pounds caught by 2,335 commercial fishers in 2015 compared to $5.08 million for 10.8 million pounds caught by 2,349 commercial fishers. While landings decreased slightly in 2016, average price per pound did increase slightly and was higher than in previous years of 2011 to 2014.

Catfish are the mainstays of the more valuable freshwater species. The commercially caught catfish are not the same as farm-raised catfish described in the aquaculture section of this summary. Sales of catfish caught commercially in Louisiana waters were $2.7 million for 4.88 million pounds in 2016, a small decline from $2.8 million for 4.9 million pounds in 2015.

Most wild crawfish are caught in the Atchafalaya Basin, where water levels fluctuate because inflows are controlled by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers at about one-third of the combined flows of the Mississippi and Red rivers. Although wild crawfish compete in the marketplace with farm-raised crawfish, some consumers prefer the wild product because of its frequently larger size. The volume of the wild crawfish harvest is almost completely constrained by the timing and duration of the annual winter/spring floodwater event in the Atchafalaya Basin, and 2016 was a very wet spring with a lot of early flooding. The 2016 crawfish season was a large improvement over 2015. Landings were up 149 percent, and value was up 74 percent from the 2015 season. In 2016, 13.6 million pounds of crawfish were landed for a value of $11.9 million, compared to 5.5 million pounds of crawfish landed for a value of $6.9 million in 2015. Landings in 2014 were 11.2 million pounds with sales of $13.4 million. The 2013 crawfish season (17.1 million pounds) nearly tripled the landings from 2012 (6.5 million pounds). For comparison, freshwater crawfish landings were a record level of 50 million pounds in 1993.

Overall, landings from the freshwater fisheries sector in 2016 had a gross value of $17 million.

Marine Fisheries The last few years have seen a lot of flux within marine fisheries with the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill

leading to record low catches because of closures and perception for most fisheries. However, marine fisheries grounds were almost all reopened in 2011, and all marine fisheries saw an increase in landings in 2011 and 2012 compared to 2010. The final closed areas of Louisiana opened in 2015. Marine finfish landings for food are varied and complex, with about 60 different species being landed for a total of 12.5 million pounds in 2016, excluding menhaden. This was a 4 percent increase from 2015, when 12.1 million pounds of marine finfish were landed in Louisiana. Excluding menhaden, the five most-valued species landed in 2016, by decreasing value, were red snapper, yellowfin tuna, black drum, king mackerel and vermilion snapper. Total saltwater finfish landings, excluding menhaden, were valued at $21.3 million, an 11 percent increase from $19.2 million in 2015.

Landings of menhaden, or pogy, a low-value but high-volume nonfood finfish species, were 1 billion pounds in 2016, an increase of 20 percent from only 894 million pounds in 2015. The catch was valued at $128 million in 2016, an increase of 50 percent from $85.3 million in 2015. Menhaden value increased in 2016 to 12.4 cents per pound, recovering from the slight decline in 2015 (9.5 cents per pound) to continue the trend of increasing value — 10.8 cents per pound in 2014 and 10 cents per pound in 2013. Price per pound is still on the rise over 80 percent from 6.32 cents per pound in 2012. Menhaden oil and meal are sold on the world market for industrial purposes, animal feeds and omega-3 dietary supplements, among other uses, and the prices received for menhaden products are a function of the world supply of oils and meals, particularly those produced by the fisheries for the anchoveta of the Pacific Coast of South America.

After several poor harvest years following the freshwater diversion openings in 2010 and 2011, oysters had a decent increase in 2015, but 2016 saw another decline of 17 percent in landings to 12.1 million pounds (1.9 million 50-pound sacks). This is still an increase compared to previous years, as in 2013 and 2014, when 11.3 million pounds of oysters were landed. The price in 2016 decreased slightly from approximately $5.87 per pound of oyster meat ($37.98 per 50-pound sack) in 2015 to $5.69 per pound ($36.79 per 50-pound sack). To calculate prices per sack, an assumption of 6.47 pounds of shucked oyster meat per sack was used. According to US-NOAA-NMFS, the gross value of oysters harvested during 2016 was $68.5 million — down 19 percent from $85.1 million in 2015.

Blue crabs constitute nearly all of the Louisiana crab harvest, with stone crab claws making up less than 0.01 percent. Louisiana hard crab landings normally range from 40 to 50 million pounds. However, stock assessments show stocks fell below acceptable levels in 2012 and 2014. Blue crab landings were 40.1 million pounds with a gross value of $49.4 million in 2016 by 2,659 license holders, a 3 percent decline in landings and a 15 percent decline in value from 41.1 million pounds with a gross value of $57.5 million in 2015. While 2016 landings were back in the 40-to-50-million-pound range, they were still lower than when fishers harvested 51 million pounds in 2009 or the 43.8 million pounds in 2008.

Peeler or buster crabs are blue crabs that are close to molting their shells. These crabs are sold to soft-shell crab facilities to produce soft-shell crabs. In 2016, the soft-shell crab industry continued to see declines to 145,090 pounds of peeler crabs and 10,865 pounds of soft shell. In 2009, production of soft-shelled crabs (35,484 pounds) and peeler crabs for the shedding business (171,656 pounds) had increased from the lowest ever recorded in 2008 because of many shore-side shedding facilities being damaged or destroyed by the 2005 and 2008 storms. Hurricane Isaac in the fall of 2012 may have affected shedding facilities, too. Overall, the soft-shell crab industry has been in steady decline for at least two decades.

Louisiana shrimp landings in 2016 consisted of six species: white shrimp, brown shrimp, sea bobs, pink shrimp, roughneck shrimp and other (either royal reds or rock). White shrimp historically have provided 50-60 percent of the harvest by weight and around 70 percent by value. In 2016, white shrimp contributed about 74 percent (72 million pounds) of total weight and 85 percent ($117.7 million) of total value. In 2016, brown shrimp landings totaled 23.9 million pounds with a value of $18.9 million dockside. Total shrimp landings in 2016 were 97.5 million pounds, a 6 percent increase from 91.6 million pounds in 2015, and a decrease from 2013 when 98.4 million pounds were harvested. By comparison, 74.2 million pounds of shrimp were harvested in 2010, when most of the fishing grounds were closed at least at some point in the year because of the spill, and 114 million pounds in 2009. Shrimp landed in Louisiana had a gross value of $137.5 million in 2016, up 21 percent from 2015. Prices in 2016 rebounded


11

somewhat from the previous year. The higher prices in Louisiana were a result of the decline in imported farmed shrimp because of disease issues in Asia and South America. The weighted-average price for shrimp was $1.41 in 2016, up from $1.24 in 2015, but down from $2.08 in 2014, $1.81 in 2013 and $1.45 in 2010-2012.

In 2016, marine fisheries landings in Louisiana were valued at $336.4 million dockside, up from $276.6 million in 2015.

FurThe 2016-2017 harvest of fur animal pelts had a gross farm value of $57,948, up significantly from $16,127

during the previous year. This value represents fur production only and excludes any value associated with meat production, which is predominately from raccoon and nutria carcasses.

The total number of trapping licenses sold dropped this year, which is likely in response to the overall slow fur market and low pelt prices. Records indicate 2,133 trapping licenses were sold during the 2016-2017 trapping season. This is a decrease from last season’s total of 2,375. However, the total number of pelts harvested in the 2016-17 season was 6,191, up from the 2,447 during the previous year. The average price paid for a single pelt taken during the 2016-17 trapping season was $9.36, up from $6.63 during the previous year. This varied from a less than $1 per pelt paid for opossum to a high of $29.29 paid for bobcat pelts. Excluding nutria that were removed under the Coastwide Nutria Control Program that were not pelted or sold, the total economic impact, including value-added activities, of the 2016-17 trapping season was estimated at $72,435, up from $20,271 during the previous year.

While 1,093 nutria pelts were reported to be sold, the total number of nutria harvested was reported as 216,052 during the 2016-17 trapping season, compared to 349,235 during the previous season. Most of the nutria harvested were part of the Coastwide Nutria Control Program, which pays trappers $5 for each nutria taken.

Hunting Lease EnterprisesThe value of recreational hunting in Louisiana is estimated by the income derived from hunting lease

enterprises. The number of producers who leased land in the state during the 2016-17 hunting season was estimated at 5,912, up slightly from the previous year. This figure consists of 4,407 individuals who leased land for upland game hunting (predominately for deer and turkey) and 1,505 individuals who leased land for waterfowl hunting. The numbers for waterfowl hunting were up by about 4 percent, while they were mostly unchanged for upland game hunting.

Land leased for hunting in 2016-17 amounted to 7.9 million acres for upland game and 1.94 million acres for waterfowl, both up slightly from the previous year. Gross farm value for leases was roughly $138.1 million for upland game and $55.2 million for waterfowl. While the value was mostly unchanged for waterfowl, it was up by nearly 16 percent for upland game. Average prices per leased acre increased to $17.50 for upland game, while prices for waterfowl leases remained stable at $28.40 per leased acre.

The total estimated gross farm value for the 2016-17 hunting season was estimated at $193.4 million. When value-added activities are added, the total economic impact of hunting lease enterprises was estimated at $209.8 million.

HoneyThe production of honey in 2017 was 3.09 million pounds, up by 26 percent from 2.45 million pounds in 2016.

The biggest factor leading to this increase was higher hive numbers. In 2017, a total of 38,324 hives was reported versus 31,127 in 2016. Weather conditions in 2017 continued to hinder total honey production. Rain during the nectar flow was a concern of beekeepers because of the lack of access to nectar plants, especially the Chinese tallow trees in south Louisiana. Some beekeepers reported normal yields, while others thought the rain impaired honeybee foraging. Hurricane Harvey flooded apiaries in southwestern Louisiana. Calcasieu Parish beekeepers complained of dozens of lost hives and a proportional loss of honey production.


12

The price per pound for honey in 2017 was $1.80 to $1.90 in Louisiana. The price of a queen was $18-$28 per queen, and the price of five-frame nuclei ranged from $140-$180. The number of beekeepers increased slightly in 2017 to 1, 077 from the 1,061 reported in 2016. Beekeepers reported robust cash flow because of the desire for local honey. As citizens become aware of the importance of pollinators in agriculture, some seek to become hobby beekeepers. AgCenter agents refer aspiring apiarists to local bee clubs for classes. The purported anti-allergenic properties of local honey have been cited by some consumers as a reason to purchase local honey.

Attendance to the 21st annual field day at the USDA Honey Bee Lab in Baton Rouge was a strong 220 attendees. This event attracts beekeepers from novices to long-time apiarists. Another indicator of the growth in beekeeping is the number of social media sites. On Facebook, there are seven beekeeping pages. Three are statewide, and one is the official Facebook page for the Louisiana Beekeepers Association. Four of the other pages are outreach efforts of local beekeeping clubs.

Gross farm value of honey for 2017 was estimated at $5.19 million, up from $4.09 million in 2016. When value-added activities are considered, the total economic impact of honey enterprises was estimated at $6.49 million. Other values of beekeeping include pollination services, the sale of fertilized queen bees, package bees, hive nuclei, wax, propolis, pollen and other hive products.


13

Plant EnterprisesThe gross farm value of all plant enterprises was more than $3.74 billion in 2017, an increase of 9.2

percent from $3.43 billion in 2016. Value added was $3.80 billion for all plant commodities during 2017, up from $3.55 billion in 2016. Total value of all plant or crop enterprises to the Louisiana economy was $7.54 billion in 2017, up 8 percent from $6.98 billion in 2016.

CottonIn 2017, 212,404 acres of cotton were harvested in the state of Louisiana, which compares to 139,902 acres

in 2016 and 109,905 acres in 2015. This year’s acreage is the highest harvested since 2012, when 225,095 were harvested. Fifty percent of the acres in 2017 were irrigated. Yields across irrigated and dryland acres averaged 926 pounds of lint per acre, which compares to 990 and 830 pounds of lint per acre in 2016 and 2015, respectively. This year yields were reduced by excessive amounts of rainfall throughout the growing season.

Gross farm value of cotton lint sales was $139.7 million in 2017 with $77.6 million from lint harvested on irrigated land and $62.1 million from sales of lint harvested from non-irrigated land. Sales of cotton seed contributed an additional $28.3 million. Gross farm value of all cotton sales was $168.1 million with value added contributing $42.0 million so that total value of cotton production in 2017 was $210.1 million.

Feed GrainsIn 2016, there were 498,816 acres of feed grains harvested in the state, which was down from 596,414

acres of feed grains harvested in 2016. Both corn and grain sorghum saw significant reductions in acres in 2017 as unfavorable market conditions and recent issues with the sugarcane aphid prompted shifts to alternative commodities. Oat acres remained mostly unchanged in 2017 with slightly over 2,000 acres harvested. Significant decreases in corn and grain sorghum acres in 2017 led the way for lower feed grain acres.

Despite relatively strong yields in 2017 for the feed grains, lower acreage and mostly lower prices in 2017 helped to reduce the overall gross farm value. The gross farm value for all feed grains was estimated at $316.7 million in 2017, down 5 percent from the previous year. Value added for feed grains was estimated to be $55.4 million in 2017, so the total value, including both gross farm value and value added, of feed grain production in Louisiana for the year was $372.1 million, down from $393.7 million in 2016.

CornThere were 484,221 acres of corn harvested in 2017, which falls between the 544,601 acres harvested in 2016

and 391,044 acres in 2015. Corn yields in 2017 averaged 185.1 bushels per acre, which is above the 2016 and 2015 crops that averaged 164.9 and 172 bushels per acre, respectively. This year’s corn yields were second only to the record 2013 crop of 185.8 bushels per acre. Corn yields across the state were aided by producers being able to plant early and timely rainfall that was received throughout the growing season. For the past six years, corn yields in Louisiana have averaged 176.4 bushels per acre.

Gross farm value of corn production in 2017 was $312.8 million, down slightly from the 2016 value of $319.6 million. The significant increase in yields helped to offset lower acreage and slightly lower prices to limit the reduction in gross farm value.

Grain SorghumIn 2017, 12,565 acres of grain sorghum were harvested throughout the state. This compares to 49,389 acres

harvested in 2016 and 72,304 acres in 2015. This is the sixth year in a row that grain sorghum acres have declined in Louisiana. Grain sorghum yields in 2017 averaged 88.9 bushels per acre, which is below the 2016 crop, which averaged 92.8 bushels, and above the 2015 crop, which averaged 86.1 bushels per acre.

Gross farm value of sorghum production was $3.62 million, down substantially from $14.9 million in 2016 because of significantly lower acreage and lower yields and farm-gate prices.

14

OatsHarvested acreage in 2017 was essentially unchanged from 2016. Eleven producers harvested 2,029 acres,

compared to eight producers and 2,424 acres in 2016. The average oat yield in 2017 was 52.2 bushels per acre, slightly above the 52.1 bushels reported in 2016. Inclement weather at harvest continued to plague producers. Despite slightly lower acreage, higher farm-gate prices for oats helped to push gross farm value up slightly in 2017 to $265,663 from $261,215 in 2016.

ForestryThe projected Louisiana gross farm value of harvested forest products increased by 4.04 percent during the

2017 calendar year, ending the year at $934.4 million dollars in mill-delivered revenue. The pine sawtimber harvest increased by 24 percent from the prior year and posted a total statewide harvest of approximately 987.6 million board feet during 2017. However, the hardwood sawtimber harvest decreased during 2017 by 22.4 percent to 76.7 million board feet. Pine chip-and-saw harvested during 2017 totaled 978,645 cords, an increase of approximately 16.30 percent from 2016 levels. The total pulpwood harvest was 5.77 million cords, down 89,830 cords (1.5 percent) from the 2016 harvest. Pine pulpwood harvest decreased 2.77 percent, from 5.12 million cords during 2016 to 4.98 million cords in 2017. Hardwood pulpwood harvest increased by 6.98 percent, from 744,463 cords in 2016 to 796,451 cords in 2017.

Stumpage prices paid for pine sawtimber during 2017 averaged $196.5 per thousand board feet. This average represents approximately an 8.39 percent decrease from the previous year ($214.5 per thousand board feet). Prices paid for mixed hardwood sawtimber during 2017 averaged 280.75 per thousand, which is a 6.34 percent decrease from the previous year (299.75 per thousand). Pine chip-n-saw averaged $50.07 per thousand in 2017, which was up $3.65 from the previous year. In general, delivered prices were mixed across all three sawtimber class products over the period reported. Pine sawtimber was down 5.12 percent, mixed hardwood was up 7 percent and CNS was up 1.14 percent. Pulpwood stumpage prices averaged $27.31 per cord for pine, down 0.52 percent from the previous year, while hardwood pulpwood averaged $26.39 per cord, down 23.85 percent from the previous year’s average. As a caution, individual landowners should not look at Timber Mart South prices as an indication of what they will get for timber sold on their land, but rather as a gauge to judge price trends and directions. Timber owners should contact a consulting forester who can help them best gauge the market for their timber as the prices received for individual tracts vary considerably depending on local market conditions and specifics of their individual property.

During the year, Louisiana’s private forest landowners received an estimated $421.65 million from the sale of forest timber (stumpage), up 4.13 percent from the $404.94 million in the previous year. Timber harvesting contractors and their employees earned approximately $512.74 million from harvesting the trees and moving wood to mills during 2017, an increase of 3.96 percent from $493.19 million in 2016.

As for predictions, the lumber restrictions from Canadian suppliers and the increased demand for lumber from increased demand in housing should lead to an increased level of removals of our pine timber products. However, there will likely be mostly flat prices for stumpage products in 2018. While harvest has been picking up generally, and we believe it will continue to do so, there is still more inventory building on the ground than what is being removed. Minus the spot market activity that is common in individual timber markets, which are a function of miscalculating weather and mill inventories, most economists do not expect dramatic increases. However, a study published in The Forestry Source journal calculated the impact of the lumber tariffs to affect timber prices (stumpage) in the U.S. South to increase by about 7.3 percent over the next five years. However, this would merely bring prices back to 2016 levels here in Louisiana. AgCenter analysts advise against planning to postpone harvest to receive better prices. Prices will improve but generally will not cover the opportunity cost of the investment — cutting and replanting or investing elsewhere.

Nonetheless, demand will continue to ramp up for final goods in lumber, plywood and OSB products, but landowners and loggers are not likely to see these gains in prices because of increased market power of the mills remaining in the state and continued slack in production capacity. However, the growth to drain in the forest is expected to become more balanced in the coming years as the market continues to move back to equilibrium. In addition, expect to see several mill investment announcements, which should provide optimism for the longer term.

In addition to the gross farm value of the timber industry, Christmas trees, pine straw and forest seedlings also contribute to the total gross farm value of the forestry industry. In 2017, the gross farm values for these three smaller industries were estimated at a combined $3.7 million. When added to that of the timber industry, the total gross farm value for the entire forestry industry is estimated at $938.1 million in 2017. Value-added activities added another $2.81 billion, making the total economic impact of the forestry industry $3.75 billion for 2017.

Fruit CropsLouisiana’s commercial fruit production is diverse, ranging from berries, citrus and peaches to muscadine

grapes, mayhaws and several others. Many commercial orchards operate on a pick-your-own basis. Therefore, they plant a variety of fruit trees and shrubs to ensure multiple harvest times throughout the year. This helps with a more consistent cash flow throughout the year. In 2017, commercial fruit crops were harvested on 2,890 acres. Gross farm value for commercial fruit production was $41.2 million in 2017, down slightly from $44.8 million in 2016. Value added contributed $14.4 million to the total value of fruit production of $55.7 million in 2017, down 7.9 percent from the previous year.

In terms of acreage, citrus is the most widely produced fruit crop, with 964 acres harvested by 223 producers. The next three most widely planted fruit crops in terms of acreage are blueberries (454 acres, 105 producers), mayhaws (408 acres, 82 producers) and peaches (347 acres, 53 producers).

BlackberriesGross farm value of blackberries decreased slightly during 2017 to $2.36 million, down from $2.83 million

during 2016. Lower yields (4,858 pints per acre in 2017 versus 5,517 pints per acre in 2016) and lower acreage harvested (111 in 2017 versus 121 in 2016) helped to reduce total production to 537,824 pints versus the 665,425 pints reported in 2016.

BlueberriesGross farm value of blueberries decreased during 2017 to $7.48 million, down from $9.63 million during 2016.

While harvested acreage was down slightly (454 in 2017 versus 465 in 2016), an increase in average yields (3,724 pounds in 2017 versus 3,570 in 2016) helped to push total production up slightly in 2017 to 1.69 million pounds versus 1.66 million pounds in 2016. Despite the higher production in 2017, lower average prices in 2017 resulted in the 22 percent reduction in gross farm value.

Citrus The Louisiana citrus industry in 2017 involved growers in 25 parishes harvesting a total of 964 acres. The citrus

industry primarily consists of navels and satsumas, with satsumas representing 67 percent of all citrus acres. In 2017, the breakdown of acreage was 282 in navel production, 652 in satsuma production and 30 in other types of citrus (lemons, grapefruits and kumquats, among others). Total citrus acres in 2017 were up from 832 acres in 2016. This increase in acreage breaks the recent trend of lower citrus acres in the state. Struggles with diseases and pests, such as citrus canker, citrus greening and the Asian citrus psyllid, over the last several years has been one of the main reasons for the downsizing of the citrus industry.

Total navel production was 68,955 bushels in 2017 with a total farm gate value of $3.09 million. Satsuma production totaled 241,531 bushels in 2017, generating a total farm-gate value of $8.37 million. Other citrus production was estimated at 6,210 bushels in 2017, with a total farm-gate value of $195,723. When combined, the total gross farm value of the citrus industry in 2017 is estimated at $11.66 million. Higher acreage and slightly higher market prices helped to push gross farm value up by more than 30 percent over 2016.

MayhawsThe gross farm value for mayhaws was $2.25 million in 2017, as compared to $2.53 million in 2016. Orchard and

native mayhaw trees produced approximately 129,567 and 843,012 pounds, respectively, for a total production in 2017 of 972,579 pounds, down from 1.1 million in 2016. Production, centered in Grant Parish, occurred on 409 acres statewide in 2017 and averaged 2,379 pounds per acre.

MuscadinesReports concerning muscadine production were divided into fresh fruit production and commercial production.

The total gross farm value of all muscadine production in 2017 was $941,564. Muscadines were grown for fresh fruit on 78 acres by 51 growers who produced 106,434 gallons of grapes in Louisiana during 2017. The fruit usually was sold at $4 to $10 per gallon, with an average of $8 per gallon. The lower prices generally were used at U-pick operations.

Production for juice and wine was considered commercial muscadine production. Muscadines grown for wine production are concentrated in East Feliciana Parish. Louisiana produced 500 tons of commercial muscadines on 33 acres in 2017.

PeachesGross farm value of peaches during 2017 was $1.89 million, up from $1.49 million in 2016. Peaches were grown

on 347 acres by 53 commercial producers and yielded 32,766 bushels during 2017.

Strawberries In 2017, the Louisiana strawberry industry included 39 commercial growers who produced berries on 334

acres for a gross farm value of $13.6 million. While average yields were up slightly in 2017, lower acreage, lower production and lower average prices all helped to generate a gross farm value that was nearly $4 million lower than in 2016. Tangipahoa Parish continues to be the leading strawberry-producing parish, with 84 percent of the total acres in the state and accounting for 88 percent of the state’s total gross farm value.

The majority of Louisiana strawberries were sold commercially. Growers delivered berries to grocery store warehouses, individual grocery stores and fruit stands. The remaining portion of the crop was sold at farmers markets and roadside stands. Louisiana strawberries are generally available as early as November, December and January. These early berries often bring premium prices and play a large part in the high returns for the crop in Louisiana.

Miscellaneous FruitA variety of other fruits are planted in Louisiana as small commercial plantings or as backyard plantings. These

crops include figs and pears, among others. In 2017, the combined acreage of figs and pears was 161 and had a gross farm value of $1.02 million.

Commercial Greenhouse VegetablesDuring 2017, 18 parishes had farms commercially growing greenhouse vegetables in 146,020 square feet of

greenhouse space, up from 137,250 feet in 2017. As in the past, most production (88 percent) was devoted to tomatoes, with some greenhouse space devoted to cucumbers and lettuce. All the greenhouse produce was sold on the fresh market, much of it direct retail at local markets.

The estimated gross farm value of Louisiana greenhouse vegetables was $2.32 million in 2017, up slightly from 2016. Total value of greenhouse produce, including value added, was $3.14 million for 2017, an increase of over $27,000 from 2016 levels.

Hay SoldHay production for commercial sales is a limited part of the total hay production in Louisiana. Nevertheless,

hay produced from 207 acres of alfalfa and 419,417 acres of grasslands was sold by 3,319 producers in 2017. Yields averaged 2.9 tons per acre from the grasslands harvested for sale and 5.4 tons per acre from the alfalfa harvested for sale. Production included 1,231,330 tons of grass hay and 1,118 tons of alfalfa hay. Compared to numbers reported in 2016, the acreage of grasslands used for commercial hay production increased by nearly 4 percent.

Weather conditions were not conducive for optimal hay production during 2017. The spring and summer months were very wet and negatively affected hay production. Conditions were not conducive for optimal hay production until late September. The fall months were dry, and a considerable amount of the 2017 hay crop was harvested during this period. Gross farm value of all hay sales, including some minor alfalfa production, was $118.37 million, which was $1.05 million higher than the 2016 hay crop value of $117.33 million. Total value of hay production, including value-added activities, was $139.09 million in 2017.

Home Vegetable GardensThe number of home gardens in any given year fluctuates greatly with people’s interest and the economy.

When economic conditions are weak, the number of households using home gardens tends to increase. Vegetable gardening is not only a hobby but also extends the family budget by freeing up limited funds for other food purchases. Research conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture indicated approximately one in three households have some kind of garden, including backyard fruit trees, vegetable plots, berry patches, etc.

With this assumption of a garden for one in every three households, a methodology based on parish population data was developed to estimate the number of gardens in each parish of the state. Based on these calculations, the number of home gardens in Louisiana is estimated at 633,519 for 2017. The average value of the home garden was estimated at $512 for 2017. The basis of this value was a 2008 survey conducted by the vegetable industry that indicated that the average garden produced commodities valued at roughly $525 per garden. This value is updated each year based on the year-to-year price change experienced in a mix of vegetable and fruits that are typically produced in Louisiana. Given these assumptions, the 2017 gross farm value of home vegetable gardens is estimated to be $324.36 million.

Nursery CropsThe commercial nursery industry in Louisiana consists of fruit and nut tree nursery stock production, foliage

plants, woody ornamentals (trees and shrubs) and floriculture/bedding plants. Commercial nursery crop production in Louisiana had a gross farm value of $107.1 million in 2017, compared to $101.4 million in 2016. Wholesale nursery sales in Louisiana have improved over the past several years, and spring sales in 2017 were record highs compared to 2016. Increased consumer demand for plants in general and especially in woody ornamentals because of plant loss caused by two major floods and an extremely rainy growing season in 2016 were the attributes to this increase.

Wholesale production was $6.1 million for the growers of fruit and nut tree nursery stock in 2017. This category, consisting of citrus, blueberries and figs, among others, had been up 10 to 20 percent annually the past three years. Bedding plant and floriculture crop production was worth $40.5 million in farm-gate sales in 2017. The largest segment of the nursery industry continues to be woody ornamentals, primarily trees and shrubs. At the wholesale level, woody ornamental growers sold products worth $57.5 million during 2017. Wholesale production of foliage plants increased somewhat from 2016 and accounted for $2.96 million in sales in 2017. Including value added of $58.92 million, the total value of the Louisiana nursery industry at the wholesale level was $166.04 million in 2016.

PeanutsIn 2017, 1,853 acres of peanuts were harvested, compared to 524 acres in 2016. Yields averaged 4,961 pounds

per acre, 18 percent higher than average yields in 2016 of 4,200 pounds per acre. These yields are reflective of a good growing season during both years. However, good growing conditions resulted in increased disease pressure and increased input costs associated with fungicide applications. Gross farm value in 2017 was estimated at $1.93 million. This is a $1.5 million increase over 2016. When value-added activities associated with peanut production of $289,611 are added, the total economic impact of the peanut industry is estimated at $2.22 million for 2017.

PecansThe state’s pecan crop estimate during the summer was 5.29 million pounds, which was 15 percent lower than

2016 and remains more than 50 percent below the 10-year average (2006-2015) of 12.4 million pounds. While 2017

Plant Enterprises

18

was expected to be an off year, excessive rains in the spring and summer likely also helped result in the significant reduction in production.

Input from growers, county agents and accumulators estimated the final pecan crop at 5.29 million pounds, which would be 8.4 million pounds less than the last on-year crop in 2014 but more than 318,000 pounds higher than the last off-year crop of 4.97 million pounds. The 2017 crop is forecast to consist of 3.17 million pounds of improved pecans and 2.11 million pounds of native pecans. Native trees accounted for 79 percent of the production in Louisiana from 2006-2015. However, native production was not as dominant this year, accounting for only about 40 percent of total production in 2017. Wholesale prices in 2017 in Louisiana were generally stable compared to the previous year as lower supplies helped to continue to support prices.

Commercial pecan production contributes substantially to the agricultural economy of Louisiana. The total gross farm value was estimated at $9.2 million in 2017. When value-added activities are considered, the total economic impact was estimated at $11.7 million. Most of the improved orchards are located in the central and northern parts of the state, with native trees dominating production in southern Louisiana. Only Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana have large areas of natives, while smaller areas are reported for five other states. Generally, more than one-half of the improved variety acreage in Louisiana is managed to control diseases, insect pests and weeds.

RiceThe poor growing conditions and flooding from the 2016 season caused much of the certified seed planted

in 2017 to have a lower than normal germination rate, much of it below 80 percent. This was identified by the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry (LDAF) Seed Certification Program. Because of low seed availability and the abundance of low-germination seed, an emergency ruling by LDAF allowed this seed to be planted in 2017 with adjustments made to seeding rates.

The season in southwest Louisiana began earlier than normal in 2017. This was due to a mild winter and a warmer-than-normal spring. The first rice was planted Feb. 14. In south Louisiana, about one-third of the rice crop was planted before March 10, and close to 85 percent of the planting was completed by the last week in March. The early warm and dry weather conditions were ideal, and it seemed like every grain of rice planted came up regardless of the low germination issue. In many cases, rice stands were thicker than normal.

The Louisiana Rice Survey conducted by extension agents in each parish indicated that there were approximately 391,071 acres of rice planted in 2017. The most widely planted varieties and hybrids were CL111 (24.8 percent), CL153 (12.7 percent), Cheniere (11 percent), Mermentau (10 percent), CLXL745 (9.8 percent), Jupiter (5.9 percent), XP753 (5.5 percent) and CL151 (4.7 percent). Approximately 61 percent of the crop was a Clearfield variety or hybrid.

Blackbirds feeding on planted rice seed is an annual problem, especially south of Interstate-10. The bird repellent seed treatment AV-1011, which was registered in 2016, was widely used in 2017 south of I-10. As a result, or possibly through coincidence, black bird predation seemed to shift much higher north of I-10 on farms near Oberlin, Elton, Mamou and Ville Platte.

The early third of the season in south Louisiana was ideal. Soils were dry enough to allow ground rigs to apply herbicides and pre-flood fertilizer. Rice growth and development were progressing faster than normal, and, as early planted rice neared green ring, it seemed as if the potential was there for a better-than-average year. That was until the rains began. Large, sporadic rainfall events occurred during the last days of April and into the first few days of May. Rainfall totals exceeded 20 inches in many places, and flash flooding and backwater flooding ensued. Hail damage also occurred in places, causing severe damage. It was estimated that approximately 4,000 acres were completely lost because of the weather. Many more acres of rice lost yield potential because of the stress associated with flooding, high water and continuously overcast weather and poor growing conditions that followed.

The overcast conditions caused many plant stress symptoms from flooding, herbicide or other stress to remain longer than normal. The average rainfall amounts for Crowley during the months of April, May and June are 4, 5.2 and 7 inches, respectively. In 2017, at the Rice Research Station, which did not receive any of the excessive rainfall, did receive 5.7, 9.9 and 9.3, inches, respectively, during April, May, and June. This illustrates that rainfall was well above normal for 2017.

Rice in northeast Louisiana, where planting generally begins in earnest in early April, also saw frequent and excessive rainfall. While no flooding losses were reported, producers were continuously fighting wet soils, which limited their ability in many cases to use ground rigs to apply herbicides and nitrogen fertilizer on dry ground. In many instances, nitrogen fertilizer was spoon-fed using three split applications.

When rice began heading and flowering, midday rains affected pollination across southwest Louisiana. This caused localized regions on the panicle to be sterile, which also reduced grain yield potential in the south. Tropical Storm Cindy blew through southwest Louisiana in late June. While Cindy did not drop large rainfall totals, winds from the storm caused problems with pollination and physical damage to the grain, which many refer to as grain bruising. Sheath blight pressure was also high late in the season, mostly because of the consistently overcast, humid and warm conditions. Fields with thick stands that were heavily fertilized had the greatest disease pressure.

Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas in late August, then it went back into the Gulf of Mexico and made landfall a second time near the Texas-Louisiana state line. This all occurred during the last third of the rice harvest season. The slow-moving hurricane dropped massive amounts of water in Texas and the western rice-producing parishes in Louisiana, including Cameron, Calcasieu and Jefferson Davis. Several thousand acres of rice were not harvestable because of flooding. Economic losses also occurred because of lodged grain, sprouted grain and flooding of the ratoon rice crop. Remnants of the storm also had a negative effect on rice in the northeastern part of the state where harvest was delayed because of the storm.

All in all, rice yields in southwest Louisiana were below expectations. However, the rice harvested in the northern part of the state, which was not delayed by rainfall, was actually above average. Statewide, rice yield averaged 6,840 pounds per acre (42.2 barrels or 152 bushels per acre). Rice yields in 2017 were highly variable, which was probably because of the inconsistent weather conditions across the rice-growing regions in the southern part of the state. Despite all the struggles of the 2017 growing season, rice producers were able to produce 26.7 million hundredweight of rice on 390,803 harvested acres in 2017. This resulted in an average yield of 68.4 hundredweights per acre, up from 66.9 reported in 2016. Despite higher yields, the lower harvested acres and lower calendar year prices resulted in a gross farm value of $297.6 million in 2017, down from $305.5 million in 2016. When value-added activities of $93.1 million are considered, the total economic impact of the rice industry was $372.7 million in 2017, down from $407.2 million in 2016.

Sod and Turfgrass ProductionDuring 2017, sod was produced by 19 Louisiana sod farmers on 3,996 acres of fine turfgrasses, compared with

16 sod producers farming 3,552 acres in 2016. This 12 percent increase in acreage could be attributed mainly to sod producers’ anticipation of increased sod demand based on the growing economic optimism prevalent with consumers, businesses and the construction industry. About 60 percent of the turf sod acreage in Louisiana is centipedegrass and about one-third is St. Augustine grass. The remaining acreage is divided between hybrid bermudagrass and zoysia. Shipping costs are always a major component in the eventual price of sod. Fuel costs continued to increase in 2017. However, overall profit margins continued to be strong for the industry for the year. Out-of-state sod farms are always a major competitor for our Louisiana producers, especially in the southern Louisiana market.

Gross farm value of sod and turfgrass sales in 2017 was estimated to be $31.2 million, up slightly from the $30.2 million in 2016. Value added for turfgrass production was $23.4 million, so the total value of sod and turfgrass production in Louisiana during 2017 was $54.7 million.

SoybeansSoybeans were harvested on 1,287,222 acres by 2,346 producers in 2017. The 2017 yield for Louisiana was 53.5

bushels per acre. Soybean acres increased 75,744 acres, or 6 percent, in 2017, while yield increased almost 8 bushels. Soybeans were harvested on 1,211,478 acres by 2,362 producers in 2016. The 2016 yield for Louisiana was 45.8 bushels per acre. While yields were greater, soybean yields were still below the record of 58 bushels per acre set in 2014.

Though 2017 got off to a slow start with persistent rains that delayed planting for many parts of the state, adequate rainfall throughout the summer offered optimal conditions during seed fill, allowing for increased yields

compared to the previous two growing seasons. Unfortunately, extreme weather events in August and September presented harvest delays and reduced seed quality for many producers across the state. For several weeks following Hurricane Harvey, seed quality, graded as percent damage at the buying point, was increased in many cases as high as 20 percent damage or greater. As the harvest season progressed, seed quality improved slightly with later-maturing acres.

High populations of redbanded stink bugs (RBSB) continue to affect soybean production in Louisiana. Because of relatively mild winters, populations have increased across the state due to greater overwinter survival. Redbanded stink bugs feeding on soybean seed throughout the year can reduce both yield and quality and also lead to increased incidences of green stem syndrome, resulting in delayed maturity and reduced seed quality. LSU AgCenter entomologists contend several thousand acres of soybean were negatively affected by RBSB feeding either through direct yield loss, reduced seed quality or delayed harvest.

Despite the struggles of 2017, the soybean industry was able to generate a gross farm value of $679.4 million, up from $554.7 million in 2016, a 22 percent increase on only 6 percent more acres. When value-added activities are considered, the total economic impact of the soybean industry is estimated at $798.2 million in 2017.

SugarcaneIn 2017, sugarcane was grown on 439,099 acres in 25 Louisiana parishes. The 11 operating raw sugar factories

in the state processed nearly 15,034,910 tons of cane. In total, the 11 factories produced 1.82 million short tons of sugar (96 pol). The average field yield of cane on harvested acres was 36.4 tons/acre. The average sugar recovery was the second best on record at 242 pounds of sugar (96 pol) per ton of cane. The yield of commercially recoverable sugar produced per acre averaged 8,810 pounds. Although the pricing period is not completed for the 2017 crop, the projected average price for raw sugar was set at 26 cents per pound. Molasses price was projected to average $96 per short ton at 79.5 °Brix.

The gross farm value of the 2017 sugarcane crop was $589.3 million for sugar and molasses. The gross farm value reported above represents 60 percent of the value of the sugar and 50 percent of the value of molasses produced. The remaining percentages are for raw sugar processing, which amounted to $400.2 million. Therefore, the total value of the sugarcane crop to Louisiana producers, processors and landlords at the first processing level was $989.5 million.

Cane yield for the 2017 crop was high. The higher tonnage was likely the result of less field damage from a dry 2016 harvest and warm spring temperatures during 2017. The growing season had high rainfall (67.73 inches at the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport), but that amount was evenly distributed during the growing season and dry for the grinding season. Recoverable sugar per ton of cane was excellent, a rare combination with high tonnage. The yield of sugar per acre was the highest in the history of the Louisiana industry. The first mill began processing cane on September 20, 2017, and the last mill finished processing on January 21, 2018. Dry weather from late September through early December was ideal for harvesting. Two severe freeze events occurred January 1-5, 2018, and January 14-19, 2018. Temperatures remained cold through the rest of the grinding season, allowing mills to finish processing with minimum negative effect from the freezes.

The 2017 sugarcane variety census showed that the most widely grown variety for Louisiana producers was L 01-299, which was grown on 45 percent of the state’s acreage. HoCP 96-540 occupied 25 percent of the acreage. This was followed by L 01-283 (12 percent) and HoCP 04-838 (80 percent). HoCP 09-804, released in 2016, was planted throughout the industry as seed-cane supply allowed.

Sweet PotatoesLouisiana sweet potato acreage remained stable in 2017. Producers harvested 9,194 acres in 2017, compared

to 9,303 acres in 2016 and 9,440 acres in 2015. Louisiana remains fourth in sweet potato production acreage in the United States behind North Carolina, Mississippi and California.

Producers dealt with many weather-related crop issues in 2017. Heavy rains during the early planting season flooded some fields, which resulted in many acres being replanted. Rains continued throughout the season. Some production areas received more than 10 inches of rain in August in conjunction with Hurricane Harvey. Producers

Plant Enterprises

21

reported some loss because of soft rot in areas that remained saturated for an extended period. Wet soil conditions also contributed to harvest delays as producers were waiting for favorable growing conditions for the crop to “size” to marketable grades. Most of the crop was harvested by November 1. Weed and insect issues persisted throughout the season. Yellow and purple nutsedge, as well as pigweed, were prevalent across production regions. Cucumber beetles remained the primary target of insect management programs. Prolonged wet conditions delayed insecticide application in some cases and resulted in significant pockets of damage across the state.

A large percentage of the Louisiana sweet potato crop is marketed to the processing sector for sweet potato fries and other products. Some producers are marketing their entire production acreage under field run contracts, while others are maintaining markets in fresh and processing venues. Production and packing costs for sweet potatoes in Louisiana are estimated to be in the $4,000-$4,500 per acre. Cost of production for potatoes grown for the processing sector utilizing a bulk harvester is estimated at $2,300 per acre before storage cost are incurred.

Despite the challenges discussed above, Louisiana producers harvested an average crop during 2017. The statewide average yield of sweet potatoes is 423 bushels per acre for 2017. The average was 337 bushels in 2016 and 450 bushels for 2015. Estimated prices for 2017 were $16 for a 40-pound box of U.S. No. 1 sweet potatoes, $9.00 for U.S. No. 2 sweet potatoes and $9.00 for jumbos. Frozen processor price received by the grower ranged from $16-24 per cwt. Producers received a $4-7 per cwt for canner-grade sweet potatoes if markets were available.

Louisiana currently produces three major varieties of sweet potato. They are Beauregard, Orleans and Bayou Belle. Orleans performed consistently better than Beauregard in commercial fields and research trials in most locations. Orleans is expected to continue to displace Beauregard acreage over the next few years. This variety is suitable for both fresh market and frozen processor venues.

Sweet potatoes are marketed year-round. Producers, shippers, and brokers are interested in maintaining a year-round supply to meet consumer needs. In addition to the fresh market demand, there has been an increase in demand for consumer-friendly sweet potato products, such as sweet potato fries, canned sweet potatoes, sweet potato chips, cookies, pet food and juice extracts. Growth in value-added use and markets for producers is expected to increase the demand for sweet potatoes. The growth is expected to result in acreage increases in the sweet potato production areas of the southeastern United States.

Total gross farm value for sweet potatoes is estimated at $52.9 million in 2017, up from $43.5 million in 2016. Total value of sweet potato production, including value added of $39.7 million, was $92.6 million in 2017.

Vegetables, CommercialAlthough Louisiana does not rank in the top U.S. vegetable-producing states, we do produce a diverse number

of crops on small acreage. Our producers grow anywhere from one to 30 different types of vegetables on farms ranging from 1 to 100 acres in size. Many of the farms are only 1 to 3 acres in size, and a few producers operate on less than an acre. Most Louisiana-grown vegetables are marketed through roadside stands, farmers markets and CSAs and are directly sold to restaurants and grocery stores. A few producers sell corn and melons on the wholesale market. To assist producers in increasing production efficiency and profitability, the LSU AgCenter partners with the Louisiana Fruit and Vegetable Growers’ Association (LFVGA) in hosting an annual producer field day. Currently, the LFVGA consists of roughly 100 farmer members.

Producers experienced typical weather conditions. The 2017 spring was mild and became warm extremely early. Summer, fall and winter temperatures and rain levels were average. Warm temperatures and high humidity levels make insect and disease management a challenge.

In 2017, 31 vegetables crops were produced. The top three vegetables in numbers of acres harvested throughout the state included watermelon (1,239 acres), southern peas (996 acres) and sweet corn (488 acres). In gross farm value, the top three vegetable crops in Louisiana for 2016 were tomatoes ($27.3 million), watermelon ($14.3 million) and southern peas ($4.4 million). Other vegetable crops that had significant farm-gate values in 2017 were bell peppers ($3.7 million), mustard ($3.5 million) and okra ($2.96 million).

The gross farm value of all commercial vegetable sales in the state was $79.4 million in 2017. Combined with value-added activities ($107.2 million), the total value of Louisiana commercial vegetable production for 2017 was $186.7 million.

WheatIn 2017, 58 producers harvested an estimated 13,931 acres of wheat in Louisiana. This was down slightly from

the 15,783 acres harvested by 82 producers in 2016. Low wheat acreage is a continuation of a downward trend in acreage and overall wheat production in the state over the past several years. Lower wheat prices, inclement weather during harvest and increased concerns over the potential of last-season Fusarium head scab all have contributed to this downward trend.

Unfavorable weather conditions and head scab epidemics again in 2017 resulted in lower yields compared to 2016. Yields averaged 43.4 bushels per acre in 2017, down from 52.1 bushels in 2016. Late-season Fusarium head scab continues to affect the crop over the past three years.

Given lower overall U.S. wheat production, prices were able to rebound marginally in 2017. While the increase in price was welcome for producers, they were still at significant discounts to prices seen in 2014 and 2015. And despite the higher prices in 2017, lower yields and lower harvested acres continued to push gross farm value down. Gross farm value was estimated at $2.58 million in 2017, down from $2.98 million in 2016. When value-added activities of $451,886 are added, the total economic impact of the 2017 wheat crop is estimated at $3.03 million, 8 percent below the 2016 value.
