1 Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service. 2 Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of the 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 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 the calendar

year 2012. 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 47 percent

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

exports produced in Michigan in 2012 was estimated at $3.24 billion.

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

Precipitation totals during the December through February period

were generally above normal, which reduced or eliminated long term

soil moisture deficits in most areas following the 2012’s drought. By

mid March, only southeastern sections of Lower Michigan were still

categorized by the U.S. Drought Monitor as ‘Abnormally Dry’, while

much of Lower and eastern Upper Michigan was classified by the

Palmer Drought Index as ‘Very’ or ’Extremely’ moist.

An upper air troughing pattern persisted across the Upper Midwest

during late March and much of April, resulting in colder than normal

temperatures over much of Michigan. On average, it was the coldest

April in at least 10 years. A series of low pressure systems moved

from southwest to northeast across the region during the period,

bringing much above normal precipitation totals. Total precipitation

from mid March through mid April ranged from less than 2.0 inches

across some northern sections of the state to more than 6.0 inches

with additional heavy rain and snow fell during the third week of

April. Given the persistent colder than normal temperatures, the pace

of spring fieldwork progress fell well behind normal. During the last

week of April, the upper air troughing shifted south of the region,

allowing a return of high pressure and an extended warm, dry spell

across the state that persisted into mid May. The break finally allowed

spring fieldwork and planting to progress in earnest, although delays

continued across western sections of the state affected by earlier

heavy rains in areas with heavier soils. Overall, cooler and wetter than

normal weather early in the 2013 season led to waterlogged soils,

extensive fieldwork delays and in some cases, flooding and the need

for replanting.

The return of an upper air troughing pattern brought cooler than

normal weather to much of Michigan once again during late June and

early July. A drier than normal trend began across central and

northern sections of the Lower Peninsula that would persist through

much of the remainder of the growing season. The temporary

establishment of a broad upper air ridge across central North America

led to heat wave conditions during the third week of July, but was

followed again by a deep troughing feature that brought cooler than

normal temperatures to the Great Lakes region during late July

through late August. As of early August, seasonal rainfall totals were

highly variable across the state, with some western and southern

sections recording less than 75% of normal values (generally 7-8” or

less) while portions of the Upper and eastern Lower Peninsulas

observed more than 15” (150% of normal or greater). The drier than

normal weather in central sections resulted in crop moisture stress,

especially on lighter soils.

The upper air troughing feature that led to abnormally cool, dry

weather during late July and the first 3 weeks of August was replaced

by a broad upper air ridge during the last week of the month which

led to a period of hot, humid weather and locally heavy rains. As of

early September, soil moisture levels vary widely across the state,

ranging from much above normal in the east to unfavorably dry in the

west.

Weather across the Great Lakes region during September was

generally warmer and drier than normal. Precipitation totals for the

month were generally less than normal. For many areas in the state,

the relatively warm, dry weather was ideal for maturation, grain

drydown, and early harvest of crops. During late September and early

October a prolonged period of mild weather and mostly favorable

harvest conditions prevailed. A large troughing feature developed

again region during mid-October. The trough led to the passage of

several Canadian-origin air masses resulting in a prolonged period of

cool, unsettled weather including the first killing freeze of the season

across some interior northern sections of the state and the first frozen

precipitation of the season. The wet conditions, combined with the

lack of an earlier hard freeze across central and southern sections of

the state led to slow crop and grain drydown rates and in many areas

to prolonged harvest delays.

Corn There were 2.60 million acres planted to corn in 2013, down

50,000 acres from 2012. Grain corn production was 348.8 million

bushels, up 10 percent from 2012; 2.25 million acres were harvested

for grain. The record high yield of 155 bushels per acre was up 22

bushels per acre from the 2012 crop. Farmers harvested 340,000 acres

of corn for silage; the average yield was 17.5 tons per acre.

Weather in April was cool and wet, so planting of corn in

Michigan began about May 1, two weeks behind normal. Planting

progress remained behind normal until mid-May. Favorable

conditions prevailed thereafter, and planting was nearly complete by

the end of May. Precipitation was adequate throughout the growing

season, and there was little or no heat stress. The crop was about 5

days behind the average stage of development as of September 1. The

harvest of Michigan corn for grain began on schedule in mid-

September. It was about 75 percent complete mid-November, just

slightly below average progress. It was virtually done by December

10. Yields were very good or excellent across all major corn-growing

areas.

The 2013 corn crop was valued at $1.41 billion, down 34 percent

from 2012. Corn continued to be Michigan's number one crop in

value of production. The top three counties in corn production in 2013

were Lenawee, Huron, and Sanilac.

Dry Edible Beans Michigan dry beans were planted a bit later than normal due to wet

conditions this spring that prevented equipment from getting onto

fields. The majority of the crop was planted by the end of June. By

June 10th, 15 percent of dry beans were planted, in contrast to 57

percent in 2012 and to the five-year average of 42 percent. Planting

was completed by July 1. Dry beans generally were in good condition

throughout the growing season, although some experienced moisture

damage due to excessive rainfall. Harvest began the third week of

September and was nearly complete by October 27.

The 2013 total dry bean production was 3.27 million

hundredweight (cwt), 13.4 percent of U.S. production. Michigan

ranked second in dry bean production for 2013. The value of

production was 139.0 million dollars, down 1 percent from 2012.

Maple Syrup Michigan maple syrup production was estimated at 91,000 gallons

for the 2014 season, a 38.5 percent decrease from the previous year.

The 2014 maple syrup season was a relatively short one. The season

was delayed due to cold and freezing conditions which are

unfavorable for sap flow. The season lasted 24 days in 2014,

compared to 32 days in 2013 and 18 days in 2012. Total taps in

Michigan were 430,000 – down 60,000 taps from 2013. Syrup yield

per tap in 2014 was 0.212 gallon per tap. Michigan producers sold 48

percent of syrup produced in 2013 as retail, 23 percent as wholesale,

and 29 percent as bulk. The value of production in 2013 was $7.22

million, more than doubling 2012’s $3.35 million.

Soybean production, 1938-2013


Sugarbeets There were 154,000 acres planted to sugarbeets in 2013,

unchanged from the previous year. The yield was 26.2 tons per acre,

down 2.8 tons from the previous year. Sugarbeet production in 2013

totaled 4.01 million tons, down almost 10 percent from 2012.

Michigan ranked fourth in sugarbeet production, accounting of 12.2

of the U.S. output.

Sugarbeet planting began much later than the five-year average

during 2013 due to the cool, wet spring. Planting was complete at the

end of May. Sugarbeet seedlings had difficulties getting established,

as ponding caused spotty drown out. Some of these areas were

replanted while others were not. Sugarbeet condition generally

improved with warmer temperatures in July, and rainfall in August

helped add weight to the crop. Harvest began in mid-September, with

harvest pace slightly behind schedule due to hard and dry ground.

Lower moisture levels in the sugarbeet growing areas of the State

slowed yield gains and contributed to harvest loss.

MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS 2013-2014 HORTICULTURE 39

Horticulture Michigan kept steady in third place in national ranking in value of

wholesale sales of floriculture products in 2013, behind California

and Florida. Reports from Michigan's 599 commercial growers (with

$10K or more in gross sales) showed an estimated wholesale value of

$406.2 million for all surveyed floriculture crops, up $27.2 million

from last year. This estimate includes summarized sales data as

reported by growers with $100K or more in sales, plus a calculated

wholesale value of sales for operations with sales from $10,000 to

$99,999.

The leading crop category breakdowns for Michigan operations

with more than $100K in sales were: First -- annual bedding/garden

plants with $216.0 million in sales; second -- propagative materials

with $75.2 million in sales; third -- herbaceous perennial plants with

$59.4 million in sales; fourth -- potted flowering plants with $33.4

million in sales.

Michigan leads the nation in value of sales for twelve floriculture

crops: Impatiens flats (other) with 1.7 million flats sold, valued at

$10.6 million; begonias flats with 813,000 flats sold, valued at $6.3

million; geraniums flats (seeds) with 207,000 flats sold, valued at

$1.1 million; petunias flats with 1.5 million flats sold, valued at $12.3

million; begonias hanging baskets with 771,000 baskets sold, valued

at $5.0 million; geranium hanging baskets (cuttings) with 724,000

baskets sold, valued at $5.1 million; impatiens hanging baskets

(other) with 675,000 sold, valued at $3.3 million; marigolds hanging

baskets with 54,000 sold, valued at $195,000; petunias hanging

baskets with 1.4 million baskets sold, valued at $7.7 million; potted

easter lilies with 1.2 million pots sold, valued at $4.9 million; potted

geraniums (seeds) with 9.0 million pots sold, valued at $7.1 million;

potted petunias with 4.1 million pots sold, valued at $9.1 million.

Total covered area for all operations in the state was 48.5 million

square feet. This includes both rigid and film plastic greenhouses,

glass greenhouses, shade, and temporary cover. Only California and

Florida had more total cover.

The 2013 wholesale value of floriculture crops is up 7 percent from

the 2012 valuation. The total crop value at wholesale for the 15-State

program for all growers with $10,000 or more in sales is estimated at

$4.40 billion for 2013, a 1% increase over 2012’s $4.36 billion.

California continues to lead sales with wholesale crops valued at

$1.14 billion, up 3% from 2012. Florida weighs in second with

wholesale sales of $887 million, down 1% from 2012. These two

States alone account for 46 percent of the 15-State total value.

Michigan, Texas, and North Carolina follow to round out the top 5

states by wholesale sales. These five states account for 67% of

wholesale sales in 2013.

Agricultural Statistics Districts

The State is divided into nine Agricultural Statistics Districts to

make data comparison easier. An Agricultural Statistics District is

a contiguous group of counties having relatively similar

agricultural characteristics. Each district has within it more

homogeneous agriculture than the State as a whole. They are

numbered from north to south and west to east.
