2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE INTRODUCTION VII
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Introduction
HISTORY
For more than 156 years, the U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of the Census, conducted the
Census of Agriculture and related censuses and
surveys. The 1997 Appropriations Act contained a
provision that transferred the responsibility from the
Bureau of the Census to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA), National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS). The census of horticultural
specialties is a part of the agriculture census
program.
The 2009 Census of Horticultural Specialties is the
ninth census of horticultural specialties. Previous
horticultural specialties censuses were conducted in
conjunction with the census of agriculture and were
taken in 1889, 1929, 1949, 1959, 1970, 1979, 1988,
and 1998. The 2009 Census of Horticultural
Specialties includes producers of floriculture,
nursery, and other specialty crops, such as sod, food
crops produced under glass or other protection,
transplants for commercial production, and
propagative materials.
USES OF CENSUS DATA
The census of horticultural specialties is the leading
source of detailed production and sales data at the
National and State level. The census of horticultural
specialties is routinely used by government agencies,
academia, nursery and floriculture industries, and the
general public. Census data are used to:
Evaluate, change, promote, and formulate policies and programs that help horticultural
specialty producers;
Study historic trends, assess current conditions, and plan for the future;
Design new and improved methods to increase horticultural specialty production and
profitability;
Analyze and report on the current state of horticultural specialty production in the U.S.
News media and agricultural associations also use
census data as background material for stories and
articles on U.S. horticultural specialty production.
AUTHORITY
The census of agriculture is required by law under
the “Census of Agriculture Act of 1997," Public Law
105-113 (Title 7, United States Code, Section
2204g). The law authorizes the Secretary of
Agriculture to conduct surveys deemed necessary to
furnish annual or other data on the subjects covered
by the census. The 2009 Census of Horticultural
Specialties was conducted under the provisions of
this section.
HORTICULTURAL SPECIALTIES OPERATION DEFINITION
The definition of a horticultural specialty operation
is any place that produced and sold $10,000 or more
of horticultural specialty products during 2009. This
same definition was used in the 1998 Census. The
definition used for the censuses in 1988, 1979, 1970,
and 1959 included operations growing and selling
$2,000 or more of horticultural products during the
census year. The definition used prior to 1959 used a
$1,000 minimum sales limit.
The definition of a farm in the census of agriculture,
which is the basis for identifying horticultural
specialty operations, has also varied. Since 1974, the
census of agriculture has included all farms from
which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were
-
VIII INTRODUCTION 2007 CENSUS OF AGRICULTURE
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
produced and sold, or normally would have been
sold, during the census year. Prior to 1974, the farm
definition was based on a lower value of products
sold and included a relationship to acres on the
operation.
COMPARABILITY OF DATA
Most data are comparable between the 2009 and
1998 censuses of horticultural specialties. A few
changes were made to the 2009 census that affect
comparability for some data items. See Appendix B,
General Explanation for a detailed discussion of
these changes. Dollar figures are expressed in
current dollars and have not been adjusted for
inflation or deflation. The data published in this
publication are not directly comparable to 2007
Census of Agriculture data or 2009 Commercial
Floriculture Survey data. Although data were
collected for the 2009 Census of Horticultural
Specialties and the 2009 Commercial Floriculture
Survey with the same report form, differences in the
kinds of statistics collected and in collection
methodology do not allow for direct comparability.
REFERENCE PERIOD
The 2009 Census of Horticultural Specialties covers
operations for the 2009 calendar year, except for a
small number of operations that maintained their
records on a fiscal year basis. These operations were
permitted to report their fiscal year that included at
least half of the 2009 calendar year. Data for trees on
operation were collected for January 1, 2010. Data
on estimated value of land, buildings, machinery and
equipment were reported for December 31, 2009.
TABLES AND APPENDICES
Chapter 1. Table 1 shows U.S.-level historical data
through the 1889 census. Tables 2 through 34 show
detailed U.S.- level data for 2009.
Chapter 2. Tables 1 through 41 present selected
data for all States reporting a data item.
Appendix A. Provides information about data
collection and data processing activities and
discusses the statistical methodology used in
conducting and evaluating the census. Table A
provides reliability estimates of U.S. and State totals
for operations, total value of sales, total wholesale
value of sales, and total retail value of sales. Table B
provides reliability estimates of U.S. totals for
selected items.
Appendix B. Includes definitions of specific terms
and phrases used in this publication, including items
in the publication tables that carry the note “see
text.” Facsimiles of the report form and instruction
sheet used to collect data are also included.
RESPONDENT CONFIDENTIALITY
In keeping with the provisions of Title 7 of the
United States Code, no data are published that would
disclose information about the operations of an
individual farm or ranch. However, respondents
who had provided written and signed permissions to
publish individual data in the 2010 Commercial
Floriculture publication were asked if they would
allow their individual data to be published in the
census. Those that agreed provided written and
signed agreements for the census. All tabulated data
are subjected to an extensive disclosure review prior
to publication. Any tabulated item that identifies
data reported by a respondent, or allows a
respondent‟s data to be accurately estimated or
derived, was suppressed and coded with a „D‟ unless
that data was from a respondent who had provided
NASS with signed documentation to publish their
data. The number of operations reporting an item is
not considered a release of confidential information
and is provided even though other information may
be withheld.
DATA PRODUCTS AND CUSTOM TABULATIONS
The 2009 Census of Horticultural Specialties data, as
well as the 2007 Census of Agriculture Volume 1
Geographic Area Series and related reports, are
available on the NASS website at
www.nass.usda.gov. The 2007, 2002, 1997, and
1992 volume 1 series and some related reports are
also available.
Custom-designed tabulations may be developed
-

when data are not published elsewhere. These
tabulations are developed to individual user
specifications on a cost-reimbursable basis and
shared with the public. The census volume 1 on a
downloadable desktop query tool and the census
Quick Stats are alternative data sources that should
be investigated before requesting a custom
tabulation.
All custom tabulations are subject to a thorough
review prior to release to prevent the disclosure of
any individual respondent data. Requests for custom
tabulations can be submitted via the internet from the
NASS home page, by mail, or by e-mail to:

ROUNDING
For data reported to the nearest 1,000 units, the sum
of the data may not equal the reported total due to
rounding.
