Agricultural Statistical Overview California Agricultural Statistics Review 2014-2015 1

Foreword

I am happy to release the 2014 California Agricultural Statistics Review. Even though the 2014 crop year coincides with the third consecutive year of unprecedented drought, the innovation and resilience of Californias agricultural community continues to ensure the States agricultural abundance.

Despite the tremendous challenges in 2014, the farmgate value of the states 76,400 farms and ranches was a record $54 billion. Of the $54 billion, over $21 billion was attributed to Californias agricultural exports.

Our farmers, ranchers and nurserymen deserve special commendation for maintaining this delicate balance of continued healthful food production in an era of drought. From fallowing land totaling a half million acres to capital-intensive investment in drip irrigation and other sustainability processes, our agricultural community is a respected partner with university experts and policy-makers who responsibly steward Californias agricultural heritage and its tremendous potential.

Many of the nutritious food products so valued and necessary as part of a healthy diet are produced exclusively in California. With over 400 commodities produced commercially, no other state is poised to harness the combination of human ingenuity, productive soils, sunshine and water as we are in this great state. In terms of environmental stewardship, initiatives funded here demonstrate our forward-thinking commitment to maintaining the farm ecosystem environment for future generations.

At the time of this publication, it was estimated the direct costs of the continued drought to California agriculture had amounted to almost $2 billion for the preceding year. Despite this, I remain optimistic that challenges or not, the industrious men and women of agriculture are creating a better future for all of us; our air, land and water included.

We thank you for taking the time to review this report. And, to the many who have made this report possible, thank you. I look forward to partnering with you this coming year.

Yours truly,

Karen Ross, SecretaryCalifornia Department of Food and Agriculture

Agricultural Statistical Overview

he sales value generated by California agriculture increased by 5.1 percent between the 2013 and 2014 crop years. The States 76,400 farms and ranches received $53.5 billion for their output, up from the $50.9 billion received in 2013. Californias increase in revenue was led by the dairy industry followed by almonds and grapes, respectively.

Almond cash receipts decreased year-over-year for the first time since 2009 as revenue decreased to $5.89 billion. Cash receipts fell by 7.7 percent due to decreased production as well as a fall in prices from $3.21 per pound of almonds in 2013 to $3.19 per pound in 2014. Grape production generated $5.24 billion in cash receipts in 2014, down 6 percent from last years record high. Production decreased by 12 percent from 2013, but prices received by growers increased from $719 per ton of grapes in 2013 to $768 per ton in 2014. Revenue generated from the cattle increased year-over-year and reached a record high as cash receipts were $3.72 billion for the year. Receipts increased more than 22 percent from 2013 as production decreased 7 percent.

The dairy industry, Californias leading commodity in cash receipts, generated a record $9.36 billion for milk production in 2014, up 23 percent from 2013 and 22 percent above the record year of 2011. Milk production decreased by nearly 3 percent and a rise in prices resulted in an overall increase in cash receipts for the marketing year. Milk prices received by producers rose from $18.48 per hundred pounds of milk sold in 2013 to $22.12 in 2014. As the leading dairy producing state in the country, California produced nearly 20 percent of the nations supply in 2014.

California remained the leading state in cash farm receipts in 2014 with combined commodities representing nearly 13 percent of the U.S. total.

Californias leading crops remained fruits, nuts and vegetables. Over a third of the countrys vegetables and two-thirds of the countrys fruits and nuts were produced in California.

Farm Facts

In 2014, 76,400 farms operated in California, which is 1.9 percent less than in 2013 and 3.7 percent of the national total. Nearly 27 percent of California farms generated commodity sales over $100,000, greater than the national average of 20 percent. The amount of land devoted to farming and ranching in California remained unchanged at 25.5 million acres in 2014. As a result, the average farm size increased from 327

T


acres to 334, which is below the national average of 438 acres.

Land Values/Cash Rents

The average value of California farm real estate increased in 2014 to $7,400 per acre. Irrigated croplands value increased 2.5 percent to $12,100 per acre and non-irrigated cropland increased slightly to $3,650 per acre. The value of all cropland increased 2.8 percent to $10,140. The value of pastureland increased slightly from the 2013 level to $2,700 per acre. The rental rate of irrigated cropland increased to $405 per acre, up from $365 per acre in 2013. Non-irrigated rental rates increased by 7 percent to $32 per acre, up from $30 per acre in 2013. Pastureland rental rates increased from 2013 rental rates, up to $13.5 per acre in 2014 from $12 in 2013.

Top Commodities

Californias top 20 crop and livestock commodities accounted for more than $43.0 billion in value in 2014. Thirteen commodities exceeded $1 billion in value in 2014. The cash receipts of fourteen of the top twenty commodities increased in value between 2013 and 2014. The growth in the cash receipts of lemons, tangerines, and oranges were the largest percentage gains of the top 20 commodities. Grower returns are subject to change and could result in an updated dollar amount in next years report. Weather Highlights for 2014

The year began with unseasonably dry and warm weather across the State. A stubborn high pressure ridge blocked cool air and storm systems. Daytime high temperatures across Northern California were 10 to 20 degrees above normal and some locations exceeded record levels. Minimum temperatureswere cooler than normal. Dry conditions persisted around the State with slight precipitation reported. Light precipitation fell across the northern mountains and into the North Sacramento Valley. Off shore winds across the State led to a moderate Santa Ana wind episode in the southern counties. There were increased fire weather concerns, especially in Southern California. January ended with a low

pressure system building south to the coast of Baja California. The residual moisture from this low resulted in a few isolated showers in Southern California. Then a low pressure system dropped southward from the Pacific Northwest and spread showers across the State. For some locations, this brought the first measurable precipitation of the year.

As February began, high pressure quickly moved in behind this system to return the dry and mild conditions. Following this, a moist subtropical air mass was drawn towards the West Coast, resulting in the first really heavy precipitation to the State in over a year. Periods of heavy rain fell across much of the State, with a particular focus across the Central Coast, Sacramento Valley, and the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The month ended with a series of cold fronts and storms that brought especially heavy rains to Southern California. This last surge of showers actually brought some stations up to normal precipitation for the month of February, although all stations were still far below seasonal normal.

March brought a high pressure that developed over Southern California, bringing dry and mild conditions, while a series of weaker frontal systems pushed through the north. These weather disturbances brought widespread showers for the northern coast and mountains. In the South, a moderate Santa Ana wind episode resulted in March brought a high pressure that developed over Southern California, bringing dry and mild conditions, while a series of weaker frontal systems pushed through the north. These weather disturbances brought widespread showers for the northern coast and mountains. In the South, a moderate Santa Ana wind episode resulted in continued warm and dry conditions. By mid-month, temperatures were warming and remained above normal. Sunny skies continued until the month closed with rain and mountain snow in the northern half of the State and an unstable atmosphere. Widespread thunderstorm activity developed, which resulted in localized areas of heavy rain, small hail, and even a few tornadoes across the Central Valley. Southern California remained relatively dry and warm.


April began with wet weather moving across the State as a couple of moderately strong cold fronts pushed through the West Coast. A high pressure ridge moved in bringing dry and warm conditions with temperatures well above normal for the time of year. The month closed with a fast moving cold front reaching the North Coast. This resulted in periods of light rain and some scattered thunderstorms across the Sierra crest, mainly

to the south of Lake Tahoe. A series of Pacific frontal systems brought rain and mountain snows across the State.

In May, a warming trend progressed throughout the State. A strong Santa Ana wind episode developed across Southern California resulted in very dry conditions across the Southland, with critical

fire weather conditions. As the month progressed, showers fell across the northern region, but the rest of the State remained very dry. Interior temperatures climbed to the 90s and low 100s across the State, even the San Francisco Bay Area experienced temperatures into the 90s. Locations along the south central coast saw temperatures rise into the low 100s. Towards the end of May, there were scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms, and light snow at the highest elevations. Temperatures across the State remained warm.

June began with sunny skies and no precipitation. Temperatures were as much as 15-20 degrees above normal in some locations and some maximum temperature records were matched or broken. The hot weather continued into the middle of the month with triple digit temperatures throughout the Central Valley. Dry conditions persisted except for a few isolated or spotty showers noted over the higher elevations of the Northeast Plateau, Lassen region, and Sierra Nevada crest areas. The month closed with scattered showers along the northern coast and reduced temperatures across most of the State.

In July, a persistent high pressure ridge remained over the western United States for. Temperatures across the Central Valley were hot, with triple digit high temperatures common across the Central Valley. Inland sections of the southern part of the State were also warm and the southeastern deserts were intensely hot. Monsoonal moisture streamed up from Mexico and spread into the State, resulted in scattered thunderstorm activity across the desert and mountain regions. Some of these storms produced enough rain to trigger flash floods in some locations. Towards the middle of the month,


the moisture continued in the mountain areas, with over an inch and a half falling near Yosemite. Light amounts did manage to reach the Central Valley. This moisture continued and towards the end of the month led to light showers spreading across the southern part of the State. Temperatures were generally near or a little above normal.

September began with moderate temperatures. Moisture from Hurricane Norbert caused some issues for the southern portion of the State with isolated, slow moving intense thunderstorms. This resulted in flash flooding in northeast San Bernardino County and western Riverside County with precipitation in excess of one inch. Behind this system, a ridge of high pressure built which resulted in temperatures soaring to well above average across the State. There were numerous record highs recorded for the central and southern sections of the State. Some temperatures were 15-20 degrees above average. This was followed by a deeper low pressure system that moved southward off the coast. Temperatures cooled and there was widespread light precipitation. The month wrapped up with 2 to 4 inches of rain along the north coast. The precipitation spread down to the central coast and inland into the valley and Sierra Nevada locations. The southern coast and mountainsremained dry.

October began with dry weather and cool temperatures for the northern half of the State and sub-freezing morning lows in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Much of the southern parts for the State saw highs hit or exceed the 100 degree mark. By midmonth, a Pacific system moved across the Northwest third of the State and rain totals of one half to one inch fell across the northern and northwest coast. Rain over the interior North Central and the West Central Coast were mostly under one quarter of an inch. One inch or more fell in the Northern Sierra Nevada Range. The rest of the State remained dry and mostly sunny. Wrapping up the month, rain totals of one to three inches were common over northern region, with the heaviest totals over the Northwest Coast. Temperatures averaged several degrees above normal over most of the State. Maximum temperatures continued to reach into the 90s over then interior portion of the State. Freezing temperatures were limited to the Extreme Inland North and Sierras.

November started with a high pressure centered on the Great Basin region limited precipitation. Then, a plume of moisture off the ocean moved in, leading to rain showers for the northern 2/3 of the State. Locations gradually cooled statewide as the month progressed. High and low temperatures remained fairly constant mid-month with the typical variability within the State. The month closed with high temperature variability as a sharp temperature gradient had set up as the southern extent of polar air pushed into the northern half of the State. This region received close to an inch to an inch and a half of rain. Modest snowfall occurred in the northern Sierras, with locations around Truckee reporting around 3-6 inches. The southern half of the State remained dry.

The beginning of December saw the wet season begin in earnest as low pressure pulled in Pacific moisture. Several locations in the central valley near Sacramento reported over 5 inches of rain per week and some locations received rainfall nearly every day. The desert south and the Los Angeles basin saw the least amount of rainfall, but nearly every location reported at least some rain. The moisture contributed to the growth of the snowpack in the Sierras, with several mountain locations receiving several feet of snow. The end of the month saw temperatures averaging 5-10 degrees warmer than normal across most of the State. The exception was over southeast California and in the deserts, where temperatures averaged closer to seasonal levels. Precipitation lowered to moderate levels throughout the State.


Global Marketplace

California continues to set the pace for the rest of the nation as the countrys largest agricultural producer and exporter. In dollar terms, Californias agricultural exports reached a $21.59 billion for 2014.

Significantly, California is the nations sole exporter of many agricultural commodities, supplying 99 percent or more of the following: table grapes, raisins, dried plums, kiwi, dates, olives and olive oil, figs, almonds, walnuts, pistachios, garlic, and artichokes.

Californias agricultural export values have realized tremendous gains in the past decade. While 2014 showed relatively the same values as the previous year, on average, Californias agricultural exports have grown at an impressive rate over the past 10 years, except for a slight contraction between 2008 and 2009.

Farm Income Indicators, 2010-2014 1

$1,000


NET FARM INCOME1 Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector's contribution to the National economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production, regardless of ownership. Net farm income is the farm operators' share of income from the sector's production activities. The concept presented is consistent with that employed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.2 A positive value of inventory change represents current-year production not sold by December 31. A negative value is an offset to production from prior years included in current-year sales.

County Statistical Data California Agricultural Statistics Review 2014-2015 18

alifornias counties reported an increase of 8.5 percent in the value of their agricultural production for 2014. Seven counties reported agricultural production exceeding $3.0 billion each. Fourteen counties reported a value of production in excess of $1.0 billion. Tulare County remained the leading county with an agricultural production value of $8.08 billion, an increase of 10.0 percent from the 2013 value. Kern County was second in value of production with $7.55 billion, an 11.6 percent increase from 2013. Fresno County was third in value, with an increase of 9.2 percent in production to $7.04 billion. Monterey remained fourth in value with $4.49 billion, an increase of 6.6 percent from 2013.

Notes to the Agricultural Commissioners Data

The gross value of production published in this report includes all farm production, whether sold into usual marketing channels or used on the farm where it is produced. Values placed on pasture and range feed are included and fresh fruit and vegetable crop values are based on the Free-On-Board (F.O.B.) packed price. Values are recorded for all products grown during the calendar year, regardless of when they are marketed. The California County Agricultural Commissioners Reports publication also provides statistics on a broader range of commodities than estimatesprepared by other agencies.

Highlights of County Ranks and State Totals, 2014


Because of these concepts, the State total for gross dollar values summarized in this report differs from the cash receipts to farmers estimated by USDAs National Agricultural Statistics Service, Pacific Region-California. The larger total value reported by Agricultural Commissioners results from the different definitions used in estimating total value of production rather than cash receipts to producers.

Some counties include timber as a part of their crop report, following the pattern set by the California County Agricultural Commissioners and Sealers Association (CACASA). Since it is not comparable to earlier county summaries, timber has not been made a part of the main tables of this summary. The total 2014 value of production reported by the counties, including timber, is $64.9 billion, up 8.5

percent from last year. At $81.5 million, Humboldt County leads the State with 25 percent of the States total timber value.

County Agricultural Commissioners Reports

Copies of individual County Agricultural Commissioners Reports may be requested or obtained directly from each County Agricultural Commissioners Office. Many of the counties publish the reports on their websites free-of-charge.
