September 2011 The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) is proud of the role it plays in assuring a strong, viable food and agriculture industry in our state. We are equally proud of the partnerships we have built with producers, industry organizations, and our federal counterparts, to continually grow our industry. This publication underscores the importance of the food and agricultural sector, Michigan’s second largest industry, to our state’s economy.

The impact of Michigan agriculture on our state’s economy is $73.1 billion and growing. Production agriculture, food processing and related businesses employ over one million Michigan residents. Michigan has approximately 10 million acres of farmland, and the state is home to 56,000 farms. More than 33 percent of the state’s total farmland is in some form of preservation agreement.

Michigan produces over 200 commodities on a commercial basis, making the state second only to California in agricultural diversity. In 2010, our annual agricultural exports generated nearly $1.75 billion. Further, our state leads the nation in the production of 18 commodities and ranks in the top 10 of 30 other commodities.

As Michigan faces the challenge of a changing business environment and workforce, all industries are affected. However, at a time when 850,000 jobs were lost in Michigan, our agricultural economy experienced a decade of growth. The food and agriculture industry expanded at a rate of more than 5 times faster than the rate of the general economy (11.9% v. 2%) between 2006 and 2007. And since 2007, we’ve seen a 27% increase at the farm gate. It is an exciting time to be part of this industry. Michigan’s food and agriculture industry is poised to be a leader in the reinvention of Michigan. We will continue to serve, promote and protect the food, agricultural, environmental and economic interests of the people of Michigan with great pride. If you have questions or comments about MDARD or our state’s food and agriculture industry, please contact the department at (800) 292-3939 or [email protected]. Sincerely,

Keith Creagh Director

RE: NASS 2010-2011 Agricultural Statistics publication

Michigan State University is pleased to partner with the Michigan Department of

Agriculture and the National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA) in continuing the long

tradition of providing data on Michigan’s agricultural economy with the release of the 2010-

2011 Agricultural Statistics publication information on the changing production patterns and

production units in Michigan is very valuable as the College of Agriculture and Natural

Resources, the Michigan Agricultural AgBioResearch and Michigan State University

Extension develop our research and education plans and programs.

Our goal is to assist the agricultural sector in their efforts to continue to grow and provide

for the food and fiber needs of families, in Michigan and across the globe. In addition, we

strive to assist a wide variety of agricultural producers and agribusiness firms to be

sustainable, environmentally and economically.

We look forward to continuing this partnership as Michigan Agriculture continues to grow

and prosper.

September 2011

Dear Friends in Agriculture,

It is my pleasure to serve as the new Director of the US Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) - National

Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) Michigan Field Office. I succeeded Dave Kleweno in early June.

Dave accepted a new challenge with NASS in Washington, D.C. His 15 years of service as Director of

the USDA-NASS Michigan Field Office were highlighted by his tireless effort to enhance the data

products provided to those involved in agriculture throughout this great State. This publications current

format is just one example of his vision. We thank him for his efforts and look to build on his successes.

The diversity of Michigan agriculture has been evident in my first 3 months traveling throughout the

State. The statistics in this bulletin showcase this diversity and are used on a regular basis to make

informed decisions by producers, consultants, advisors, government officials, and others. The

compilation of this bulletin is a product of the partnership between the Michigan Department of

Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), Michigan State University (MSU), and NASS.

I would like to extend a special thanks to all those producers and agri-businesses who have taken time to

respond to the surveys that serve as a basis for these data. Their responses are through the Internet, mail,

via telephone, and face-to-face interviews. The latter two modes are conducted by our dedicated core of

National Association of State Department of Agriculture enumerators. Without their skilled interview

techniques, we would be unable to successfully provide these many data.

The cover of this publication is motivated by the statewide Fruit Acreage Inventory Survey to be

conducted later this year. This survey is a collaborative effort between the Michigan fruit industry,

MDARD, MSU, the Michigan Farm Bureau, and NASS. The inventory is conducted on a periodic basis

and was last completed in 2006. The ever changing landscape of the Michigan fruit industry makes it

critical to conduct an accurate assessment of fruit acreage in the State to ensure decisions are based on

current, relevant data. We look forward to the support of the State’s fruit producers on this endeavor.

Good decisions can only be made with good information. Our agency continually strives to meet our

mission of providing timely, accurate, and useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture. Thanks again to

all those who provided, collected, and analyzed the data in this publication. If you have any questions

about these data or need any additional information, please visit our Website at www.nass.usda.gov

and/or contact our office at (517) 324-5300. We look forward to serving you.

Sincerely,

Jay V. Johnson

Director

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 operator's

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.

3 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.

Agricultural Exports Michigan ranked eighteenth in agricultural exports for fiscal year

2010. The table below shows the value of agricultural exports by

commodity group. The data are calculated annually by commodity

based on each State’s share of the U.S. agricultural production. The top

five commodity groups accounted for approximately 80 percent of the

State’s agricultural exports. The total value of agricultural exports

produced in Michigan in 2010 was estimated at $1.75 billion.

20 FIELD CROPS MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS 2010-2011

Field Crops

Growing Season Weather Summary Dr. Jeff Andresen, Michigan State University

The 2010 growing season was among the top 10 warmest on record

across Michigan and much of the Great Lakes region, leading to rapid

growth, development, and maturation of most crops. In Michigan, mean

temperatures for the winter season ranged from near normal across far

southern sections of the state to much above normal across the north.

Seasonal precipitation totals ranged from near normal across sections of

Upper Michigan to less than 50% of normal over much of the Lower

Peninsula. Off season soil moisture recharge was therefore somewhat

lower than normal.

The growing season got off to an early start given abnormally

warmer than normal weather during March and April. The warm

weather allowed spring fieldwork to begin much earlier than normal and

led to an early break of dormancy of most overwintering crops. Later in

April, an upper air pattern developed across North America that would

persist in several related forms for much of the late spring and summer

seasons: troughing across western sections of the continental USA with

broad ridging across central and eastern sections. This pattern led to

southwesterly flow aloft across Michigan and to warmer than normal

temperatures, and to a very active storm track across central sections of

the country. Mean temperatures for the months of May, June, July, and

August were all above normal, with departures generally ranging from

1-5 degrees F.

The active storm track led to unusually heavy rainfall to western and

central sections of the Corn Belt region through much of the growing

season. Records or near records for wettest summer season were set at

locations just to our west in Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Some of this heavy precipitation fell as far eastward as Michigan during

the late spring and early summer, but was not as much of a problem as

would typically be the case due to the early completion of planting.

Rainfall totals in Michigan for the June-August period ranged from just

under 10 inches (near normal) in east central sections of the state to

more than 20 inches (more than 150% of normal) at some Upper

Peninsula locations. These totals are somewhat misleading, as much of

the precipitation fell during the month of June, with much less during

July and August. As a result, potential evapotranspiration rates during

July and August also remained at above normal levels with rapidly

declining soil moisture levels leading to the development of drought

stress symptoms during August.

During early September, the persistent jet stream pattern of much of

the growing season finally transformed into a troughing pattern across

Michigan and the Great Lakes region, leading to cooler than normal

temperatures and generally to continued below normal precipitation

totals. This weather combination favored early crop maturation, rapid

grain dry-down rates and progress of fall harvest activities, but also to

increasing levels of dryness and drought-related problems. Fortunately,

the most intense dryness occurred after most moisture-sensitive crop

growth stages. By the end of September, much of southern Lower

Michigan southward into the Ohio Valley was categorized as

‘abnormally dry’ or under ‘moderate to severe drought’ conditions.

Normally such dry conditions would favor early frost, but the first

killing frost/freeze of the fall season was 1-2 weeks later than normal

across most areas of the state, further extending an already full growing

season.

Overall for the 5-month May-September period, precipitation totals

ranged from much above normal levels across northern sections of the

state to below normal in southern sections. In contrast to the unusually

cool 2009 growing season, mean temperatures were consistently above

normal for much of the season. Growing degree day totals were also

much above normal totals, in some cases more than 20% greater than

normal. New records for greatest seasonal GDD accumulation were set

at a few southern locations in the state. The early start of the season and

the persistent warmth led to unusually rapid crop growth, development,

maturation and dry-down, saving most growers money in drying costs.

Barley Michigan barley growers planted 11,000 acres and harvested 10,000

acres in 2010. Total production was 540,000 bushels, down 4 percent

from 2009. The average yield increased by 3 bushels to 54 bushels per

acre. Barley planting began in April well ahead of the five-year average.

The crop had good early stands then decreased in condition during mid

growing season. The crop finished well and had a strong yield average.

Early planting directly led to early harvesting as most of the crop was

harvested by mid August.
