We wish to acknowledge the splendid cooperation we received from bothofficial and private sources during the preparation of this rather comprehensivestatistical report.

The rail freight and express carlot shipment figures were secur* d from the

Fruit and Vegetable Branch of the Production and Marketing Administration,U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.

Exhaustive vegetable acreage, yield, production and value data and otherassistance was supplied by Mr. J. C. Townsend, Jr. and Ur. J. B. Owens, Agricul-tural Statisticians, and Mr. G. N. Rose, Truck Crop Statistician, U.S. BureauAgricultural Economics, Federal Building, Orlando, Florida.

Mr. A. L. Scarborough, Statistician of the Citrus and Vegetable Division,Florida Department of Agriculture, Winter Haven, Florida, supplied us with importantrecord data and other information. Mr. Hugh Flynt, Assistant Director of this

division, supplied a detailed summary of inspections for the season. The dailyreports from their Road Guard Stations, operated by the Citrus and Vegetable Divisicshowing passings of fruits and vegetables, were very helpful to shippers and growersthroughout the season and for record purposes in this report.

Mr, H. F. Willson, Federal-State Citrus Market Mews Service, also supplieduseful data for use in this report.

Mr. H. G. Clayton, Director of Agricultural Extension Service, GainesvilleFlorida, prepared an interesting article on government price supports.

Mr. LaLIonte Graw, Manager of the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association,prepared an article on the farm labor situation.

Mr. William B. Conner, of the Florida Citrus Exchange, Tampa, whole-heartedly complied with our requests for specified citrus information.

Several official and private agencies and individuals not already mentionssupplied information directly or indirectly to us, for which we extend our thanks.

The preparation of this report is tc dious and requires long and hard work,and appreciation by the writer is extended to our Bureau staff for their efforts and

accomplishments. !.lr. L. H. Lewis, Specialist, Live Stock and Field Crops, and J.'r.

Gifford N. Rhodes, Specialist, Live Stock Market News, of this Bureau, suppliedcertain livestock information.

Comments which would lead to the improvement of this Annual Report wouldbe appreciated. We have never gotten any suggestions for improving this report andtherefore we suspect that no one reads this pa -

AJ1IUAL FRUIT AND V] A - E REPORT

By Frank H, Scruggs, Market News Specialist

VOLUME AaTj VALUE uF ALL FRUIT f, A.iD VEGETABLES

The first paragraph of our last year's (1946-47) Annual Report was as follow:

to wit: "Another eventful crop season has passed but the beginning of the 1947-48

season is so upset as these words are written, October 17, 1947, that it barely seems

useful to go into the history of the 1946-47 season, which was only moderately and

unevenly successful ." We cun say almost the same thing for lv47-48 season this

October 12, 1948, and for the 1948-49 season getting underway.

We had two hurricanes in the. fall of 1947 and two lesser ones in late

ber and early October of this year, .<e had more water spread over Florida in Oct r

1947 than in October 1948, but we have far more than we need right now. The v<

plantings in South Florida are being greatly delayed. This is true to a lesser extent

in some other vegetable sections of Florida,There is little good to say about the season .just passed except to say it

could have been a little worse for citrus and much worse for vegetables

.

had a net of 10^ per box on citrus .last season which was the lowest since

the 1938-39 season when we had 7/ and in the 1952-33 season when we had ?.$ rset.

Taxes and interest on investment should be deducted from this net which rakes the

1947-48 citrus crop a total loss as far .s the av rag grower is concerned. All he

did was to work for nothing for a lot of people. Too much citrus is coin? to the

canner at a low price to be sold later in canB at o price fP-r too low for the good of

fresh citrus*- On the other hand the rctail( r Ls charging the consular too much for

fresh citrus. Some of them work on a 100 per cent markup. If 35 per cent wag

enough before the war certainly 40 per cent seems enough now.

RECORD VOLUME IN 1947-48 BASON

Florida produced and utilized 297,984 carloads of fruits and vegetables last

season as cony ared to 262,992 carload equivalent in the 1943-47 season. The gross

fob value ^as however only ,-.214,742,000 compared to &24( ,709,000 for the 1946-47

season.Citrus alone accounted for 214,045 carloads produced at a gross fob value of

only $114,925,000. The average price on carload basis was 30 per cent off from

average for 1946-47 season.Vegetables, strawberries and watermelons accounted for 33,939 carloads with

a gross value of $99,817,000 compared to 72,262 carloads and tfl02, 144,000 for the1946-47 season. They were off 15$ from average price in 1946-47 season.

Similar information to that above may be found on page 5 of this report

covering all the seasons from 1934-35 to date.

Instead of using up several pages to express his own ideas, the writer has

called in some of the. experts of the State to say a few words.

LaMonte C-raw, manager of the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Assn., a non-pro-

fit organization., formerly the Florida Vegetable Committee, gives us a summary of the

Florida Farm Labor Situation. He says that long experience has shown that higher wag.

rates (to certain kinds of farm workers) usually reduce rather than encourageefficiency and reliability. This is an interesting observation and there ere more

interesting thoughts in his article. Turn to page 3 later on.

H. G. Clayton, Director of the Agricultural Extension Service, one of the

foremost leaders of agriculture in Florida, agreed to d'scuss in question and answerform,Frice Support, Parity, "Steagall" commodities, etc. If you cannot name the sixbasic commodities and the Steagall commodities and do not kno-.; the definition ofparity you should turn to page 46 of this report. This Annual Report is used by a

large number of students, amateur & professional economists, and also researchPage 1

specialists find I am sure many of them will be pleased to have these answers where

they can find them easily. This stuff is hard to remember, much less recollect.

Some questions and answers on Florida livestock prepared by L. ii, Lewis and

Gifford N. Rhodes, Livestock Specialists of the State Marketing Bureau, can be found

on pege 56. You know, of course, that Florida ranks 14th in beef or rang, cattle^,

35th in dairy cattle and 25th in total cattle. There is a lot of misinformation on

the rarking of Florida in cattle production. We are making rapid progress, but we arc

not pushing Texas out of the picture yet.' There is perhaps more probability of groat

expansion in livestock than in any other Florida agricultural activity.

J. C. Townsend, Jr., U.S. Agricultural Statistician, in charge of

Florida's Crop Reporting Service, discusses the Production of Florida Fruits aid

FLORIDA'S 1'Aiul LABOR S] - A [ON

By: LaMonte Gr^-.v, Secy.-] r.

Floriaa Fruit and Vegetable Aarociation

(Formerly the Florida Vegetable Committee)

Prior to V.orld War TI, farm wage ra1 - 'ere lor — .I to

v2.00 per day. The workers available were for the most part younger, stronger and

more willing to work than those who are now paid „.p.00 per day and upward — and fax

more for piece rates when harvesting. In spite of these low wage rates, many pre-

fams did not survive, because of the small profit margin between cost and soil-

ing price.During the war many of the best workers went to industry, thus reducin

supply at a time when Florida's farm labor needs were increasing $0% or more. Tho£

who remained were less able to perform field tasks, or to learn new or. , I I coui I

make enough in two or three days to carry them through the week. They worked short

hours, and produced less per man, because they lacked the vital necessity of working

full time to obtain the week's cash requirements.

From the standpoint of the nation's economy, it is difficult to justify

wages as low as 1*2.00 per day, oven in pre-war dollars. Yet the fact remains that

few Florida vegetable producers grossed sufficient income from their products before

19U2 to have permitted them to pay higher wag is for the services performed..If a

grower had offered higher wage rates, without a corresponding increase in efficiency

or worker output, he would soon have gone brok .

Despite these wage increases that provide the opportunity for a good farm

hand to earn from vUO to i^lOO per week on vegetable farms, the average Florida farm

worker has shown little initiative or desire for economic advancement, or to

accumulate funds. Higher wages 'nave meant merely that he worked fewer hours for th

dollars to pay for that week'. s needs.

Some industries have boon able to reduce their unit costs by cutting the

number of hours worked and increasing wage rates. This has been true- where labor

saving equipment v:as used, and conditions permitted the employer to adopt better

production practices. During the past ten y» c? i .".ay Florida growers have adopt a

improved practices that materially, reduced the number of man-hours of labor require*

but this reduction is in large measure offset by the higher wage rates and worker

inefficiency, resulting in unit costs often being higher than before labor saving

devices were purchased.This was not important during the war years, when good prices prevailed f

all products, including somd that should have gon to the cull bin. A seller's

market permitted the grower to ignore sound business practices and "till make a

profit. Such will not be the case in the future.Production -of fresh vegetables over widely separated areas in the United

States, Cuba and Ifexieo, has increased to a point where the nation's markets can be

kept constantly overrsupplicd except after major disasters. Unless the Florida

producer can reduce his cost per unit c :ark~ table products , he cannot long expect

to compete with Texas, Cuba and Mexico, which have far lower labor costs, or -..1th

California, whose higher wage rate:: [are offset by higher yields.

So long as national employment and living costs are high (and prices for

Florida products will drop before wages) there is little likelihood that the wages

paid Florida farm workers will be materially lowered, in spite of their in fficienc

They may even rise during the present shortage.

The Florida producer can lower his unit production cost through the more

efficient use of more efficient and reliable workers. To attract this type of

worker, or to induce' those we have now to do better, we must offer incentives other

than the pay, for long experience has shown that higher wage rates usually reduce

rather than encourage efficiency and reliability.The Florida State and U.S. Employment Service?, are seeking to recruit

sufficient workers to produce and harvest our crops, but they cannot compel or ind'j

the worker to accept employment when offered. The Florida Fruit and Vegetable

Association, through its labor division, is providin - mere than lj million man hour

of supplementary Bahaman labor. The latter is not a permanent solution to the

problem, for there are economic and political reasons why the use of foreign worker

.when they leave, farmers may findPage L

cannot be continued beyond the present emergency.

themselves unable to get sufficient labor.

Improvement of the Florida farm labor situation, so that the farmer can

afford to pay today's wage rates and stay in business, and continuance of the almost

total absence of labor strife that has been the history of the Florida vegetable

industry, are largely dependent on the development of a procedure which gives both

the worker and the employer greater assurance that their mutual needs will be met.

It must be a program that "recognizes" the worker as an individual and not at: "just

another migrant; " it must reward him for effort and accomplishment — in addition to

his pay; competent workers must be given greater consideration than those of lesser

skills and willingness, including assurance of the best available housing, maximum

opportunity for employment, and other incentives that vri.ll encourage him to be more

diligent, more interested in his work, more reliable and thrifty, and more desirous

of improving his skills. And it must provide the grower with a dependable work-

ing force than can enable him to grow and harvest his crops with a minimum of delayand a maximum of efficiency.

Individual farmers, who employ migrants for only short periods during each

season, can greatly improve their methods of handling farm workers, but they cannotprovide them with adequate incentives and rewards to keep up the interest of theworker. Continuity of contact with the individual worker, to assure that he is

sufficiently "recognized" and rewarded for merit, is possible only through a centralorganization which can maintain records from season to season, and make certain thatthe worker gets his just dues, no matter where he may be employed.

With these factors before it, Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association'sLabor Committee is studying various methods of attaining the desired results, and itis hoped they can be developed and put into operation soon enough .to aid the growerin_ meeting_ the labor_ shortage anticipated for .19L8-L9.

NOTE: As has been stated above and in other pages of our report for many years, tne

citrus net prices do not allow any deductions for interest on investment, for taxes,

or for depreciation of equipment. Pages 0-7 of this report, which include privateas well as auction sales of citrus, should be used along with this page. Private

sales of tangerines averaged considerably higher than auction sales in tne last lewseasons. See pages UU-U5 for Citrus Price Analysis.

See pages U0-U2 for Auction Cars and Price Averages - yearly comparison.

THIS DOES NOT' IliCLuDE AM PRIVATE SALES.

(In a recent meeting of the Agricultural Division of the Florida StateChamber 'of Commerce I heard Mr. H.' G. Clapton, Who is the Director of the Agricul-tural Extension Service, County Agent and Home Demonstration T/Vork, discuss the

subject of government supoorts for agricultural commodities. Mr, Clayton., who hasbeen in the Federal-State" agricultural work for more than 25 years in top rankingpositions, is well qualified to discuss such a subject. I asked then and there that

Unless everyone else is smarter than I am they may be able to use some of this boo.)Frank If, Scruggs.

•What is -the -background of Price Support Programs?A few farm crops have had price support since 1933 as part of the overall

program of economic recovery. The ever normal granary idea of storing the surplus inyears of high production was a part of this program. From 1930-hl support priceswere instrumental in building up large stock's oi. cotton, corn and wheat that werehelpful to the war effort -- by making it possible to expand lives bock to supply moatto our military forces and those of the •allies, and to reduce cotton acreage andplant this land to oil seed crops needed in the war effort.

During the war Congress passed the Stcagall Amendment which provided thatwhen farmers were asked to increase production of any crops or livestock, pricesupport would be available for a period extending two years after the end of the war.During this same period industry operated on a cost plus basis with guaranteesagainst loss. '

*

Agriculture has been operating under a goal program for many products since19al and the goals have been for maximum production and the result has been approx-imately a UO percent increase in output. This high production has kept prices fromrising higher than they have in the face of the greater food consumption at home (12percent per. capita more than pre war) and the competition from buyers in foreigncountries where food is still short.

How do price support programs operate?Programs must vary with the various commodities . For staple commodities

3ver for most kinds of tobacco August 1919 to July 1929 is the base period. < ir

flue-cured and Burley tobacco the base period is August 193U to July 1939.

VJhen does parity go down?It automatically go s down if prices paid by farmers go down.

Do price supports apply to beef cattle and lambs?No, they are not included in the support program. Pressure on food prices

comes from livestock products all of which are" well above parity at the present time

.

(Hogs are included with the Stoagall commodities.)

Name some commodities that arc now close to support level.Potatoes, eggs, wheat, corn, and cotton.

"..hat is the egg-feed ratio?The number of pounds poultry feed equal in value to one dozen eggs.

What is the corn-hog ratio?The number of bushels of corn equal in value to 100 pounds of live hogs.

Have crop yields increased or decreased in recent years?Average crop yields increased about 13 percent from l9it2 to 19U7. This

increase was due to the use of more fertilizer, and to technological developmentssuch as higher yielding varieties, improved cultivating and harvesting methods and tobetter soil management.

uhat is the world relationship between crop land and population?There are about 1-3/u acres of crop land per person. There arc 2-l/U

billion people and the world nas about h billion acres of crop land.

Vihat is the United States relationship between crop land and population?About 2-3/U acres Per person. There are lli5 million people and the United

States harvests about 350 million acres of croos annually from about 1|00 millionacres used as crop land.

At what rate is population increasing?For the United States the increase is about 3A million per year and world

population is increasing about, 20 million per year.

Is there any relation between soil fertility and the nutritive value offoods?

Yes, there is a direct relation and if the soil is deficient in certainplant food elements the crops grown on the land will be deficient in nutritive value.The livestock produced from pastures and crops grown on soil? deficient in certainplant food elements cannot develop properly unless these deficiencies are suppli

How do cover crops benefit the land?By protecting the land from i in I and water erosion, direct rays of the sun,

by producing organic matter to turn back into the land and if a legume by addingnitrogen obtained from the air. (EnD)

Page k.8 \.E l.ISH WE HAD ITBY: F. H. Scruggs


A few of our readers are never satisfied with the great volume of informa-tion we have prepared in compact form for them in our Annual Report. They don'twrite us that we have the best statistical report released by any State agency of

the principal fruit and vegetable States and that they cannot get anything likethis from California or Texas, but they do ask us for more data.

They ask us some very good questions but most of them are questions wehave been getting for twenty years

The question which comes up most often from various people is about thevolume of production of some particular County. The question however comes to us asfollows: "How many rail cars were shipped from County?" forgetting about truckshipments for fresh use, truck to port for boat shipments, express shipments, andvolume trucked to canners and processors, i.e can give them the rail freight ship-ments loaded in and credited to a particular County but ive have to explain that acommodity may be produced in one County and loaded in and credited to an adjoiningCounty or even to a County far away.

All of the production moves from grove or field to packing house or railsiding on trucks and once these trucks are loaded they can go' five miles or twenty-five miles with little difference in expense in relation to "value of product.

\ie do not know the volume of each County which goes out by truck or byexpress, or which may be canned within the County, 'i.e couli met I.e have learnedfrom experience not to guess for if we guess for one season then someone wishes .thesame information for every season since 1925. The writer has been working up thisAnnual Report for nineteen years and knows the sources of information fairly well andhe has the desire to give every bit of important volume and value data he can. Soif you do not find the data in this report it probably is not obtainable.

i>e also get requests for the value as well as the volume of production inindividual Counties or in particular groups of Counties. We have said above that wedon't know the volume of production of fruits and vegetables in any particularCounty, therefore, wo cannot know the value of said volume.

The writer can give his readers a formula for estimating the volume andvalue of fruits and vegetables in any particular County. It is not perfect. Forexample, we will use a mythical County with theoretical acreage.

^ pR0DUCTI0N 0F FLoRIDA FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AS AFFECTED BY WEATHER

CONDITIONS - 19U7-UB SEASON

By J. C. Townsend, Jr., Agricultural StatisticianFlorida Crop Reporting Service

The regularity of occurrence of. storms and .freezes the .past few years keeps us

from using the old stock phrase of -calling these phenomena- "unusual." ..be .have

started off too many seasons with hurricanes and have had enough' cold weather.-in

January and February to de™ them abnormal. The crop year 11?U7—Ui3 was no exception.

The season began with a hurricane in September which was accompanied by heavy: rains.

Three months period, of recuperative weather followed and in mid-January the- winter

freeze occurred. Spring- and early summer, were generally favorable and the final

resulting production of fruits and vegetables approached normal or above normal

volume. Another record crop of citrus was chalked Up in the* book and- some veg-

etables exceeded or neared former peaks of production.•

^ -

FRUIT - Despite storm losses 'of two or three million boxes of citrus in theIndian River area in September, Florida's 390,000 acres of citrus' produced anotherrecord volume. \!hen an .economic loss of 3,7.00,000 boxes -of grapefruit and 600,000

' boxes of tangerines are -included, the total citrus -crop reached nearly 96 millionboxes — a[,jump of nearly 9 million over 19u6*--l+7. Set -of fruit ia-st year was onlymoderately heavy but plenty of moisture and generally warm, weather during 'the grow-ing season boosted sizes in building up a record production., Low prices, especiallyfor grapefruit, resulted iri about 1+ million -boxes being left unharvested. • TheJanuary freeze also caused a loss of several 'hundred thousand boxes of tangerines.

VEGETABLE ? - Heavy fail rains reduced the acreage and* production of earlyvegetables, delaying see*ding of tender crops in some areas so that a greater than ""

usual toll was taken by the mid-January freeze. Overall loss of acreage from- adverse weather conditions amounted to some '30 A000 acres out of 270,000 acres'planted. This loss was not as heavy as the .year before when 2$ percent of theplanted acreage (or nearly 70,000 -acres) was destroyed. Sinoe the freeze !came inJanuary instead of February, growers were able to replant without too much loss toacreage in the spring. .Despite storms, rains, freezes and frosts, a few new veg-etable records were set in 191+7-1+8. The 15*900 acres -of cucumbers, 3, 200 ".acres ofescarole, 11,1+00 acres of peppers are all new peaks in acreage harvested. • Green peaplantings at 700 acres were the lowest in 20 years,' while 20,800 'acres of 'Irishpotatoes represented the smallest acreage since 1933.. Later-mel ons sot a new produc-tion record when 13.7 million melons wore harvested. Nearly 2 million bushels ofcucumbers also set a new peak for that crop. Second only to VAk-hb, cabbageproduction in 191+8 amounted to nearly 11+5,000 tons, and escarole at 1; 376, 000-bushels produced and- 1,100,000 harvested! was another top' performance.

'

(In general, fall vegetable productions/as sharply cut from a year ago as aresult of water losses. Fall 'acreage harvested was only' 57 percent of the" year .

before and production 61+ percent of 0.91+6 *.) .

Growers planted 12 percent fewer acres of" winter vegetables but harvested ahigher percentage and with generally higher yields" produced a greater volume duringthe winter of 191+8 than' in 19l+'7. Returns to growers were disastrously low on. celery.and peppers during the winter but most of the others brought higher re-turns rthan inUko-UJ. .Some production was left in the fields.

Spring plantings followed the same general pattern with most of the reductionin .snap beans. Plantings of cucumbers, celery, and peppers Were increased. :Yieldswere considerably higher this past spring, resulting in higher production.' Lowprices continued through the spring for celery, eggplant and peppers, resulting insome abandonment. Returns from other crops were higher. The overall returns forvegetables lor the 191+7-1+3 season amounted to nearly 90 million dollars at the*.U.B. Level — about the same as 191+6-1+7. (END)
