DEAR FRIENDS OF AGRICULTURE, This year, Florida commemorates the 500th anniversary of Juan Ponce de León's discovery of our state. After the Europeans landed in Florida in 1513 and established settlements throughout the peninsula, they introduced many of the crops that make up Florida s landscape today. Ponce de León planted citrus trees near St. Augustine and brought the first cattle to the new land. Florida s early settlers faced hardships and at times had just enough to feed themselves. Despite the challenges that come from severe freezes and limited water supply, Florida's agriculture industry endured and thrived. The industry's tenacity and strength enables our great state to provide food and fiber for Floridians and many others throughout the world. Today, Florida s 47,500 farms produce nearly 300 different commodities on more than 9 million acres of land. Florida s famed agriculture industry employs 2 million people and contributes more than $104 billion to our state s economy each year. 2012 was a great year for many commodities grown in Florida. Cucumbers ($67 million), grapefruit ($187 million), oranges ($1.5 billion), snap beans ($167 million), sweet corn ($180 million) and watermelons ($138 million) all reached higher than their 2011 levels. Find these figures and much more in this special edition of Florida Agriculture by the Numbers. This publication, produced by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is a compilation of useful data, details and information that summarizes Florida s agricultural impact to our state. Collectively, these figures demonstrate the impact of Florida agriculture, an industry that feeds and enriches the lives of millions of people in Florida, the United States and throughout the world. Sincerely, ADAM H. PUTNAM COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE 3

ACKNOWLEDGMENT The acreage, production, and value statistics in this publication are the official State and USDA estimates prepared by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Florida Field Office in cooperation with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). These estimates are current as of June 2013 and may be revised later in the year or in the following year, if additional data become available. Any revisions made to these estimates, as well as estimates made after June 2013, are included in reports posted to the website shown below and available from the NASS Florida Field Office. Most of the data used to develop these estimates were provided voluntarily by growers, shippers, and processors and we sincerely appreciate their public spirited cooperation. The Florida Tomato Committee, the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, Florida Department of Citrus, floriculture and nursery producers, sales agencies, and transportation firms have provided valuable assistance and data throughout the season. The FDACS Bureau of State Farmers Markets and the County Agricultural Agents of the University of Florida Cooperative Extension Service were also very helpful in supplying area and county estimates. The individuals and organizations who make up the Florida agricultural industry need reliable and accurate estimates of production to make informed and knowledgeable decisions. Increasing unpredictability of commodity prices and competition from global markets, make accurate and unbiased estimates even more important. Farmers, agribusinesses, producers groups, educators, researchers, legislators, and the media all need these estimates to develop sound policies and to promote Florida agricultural products. I want to express my sincere gratitude to our dedicated staff of statisticians, support personnel, citrus field staff, and field and telephone enumerators. They are the ones who have worked hard to collect, review, and summarize these important data and publish the results. All NASS reports are available free of charge at: www.nass.usda.gov (National reports) www.nass.usda.gov/fl (Florida reports) Jim Ewing State Statistician, USDA/NASS Florida Field Office 4

FLORIDA AGRICULTURE BY THE NUMBERS Florida Agriculture by the Numbers has been published to provide you with reliable, comprehensive information and data on Florida agriculture. People worldwide use the basics of food, fiber and forestry products daily. Florida s producers contribute greatly to the bounty enjoyed in Florida, the United States and beyond. The following pages tell their story of productivity, innovation and delivery. This reference book is divided by sections for ease of use.

The Department Contacts Section identifies the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services divisions with contact information. As is occasionally the case when analyzing agricultural and economic data, numbers in rows or columns do not always sum exactly. This usually occurs when large numbers are abbreviated or when composite prices are compiled. The difference in these cases is a rounding margin. The rounding of numbers occurs in these pages when space is a consideration. Whether you are using this book to learn more about Florida agriculture, as a reference for contact information or for any other use, Florida Agriculture by the Numbers will definitely serve as an excellent reference source throughout the year.

U.S. and Florida Production 2011-2012 SEASON CITRUS HIGHLIGHTS U.S. citrus utilized production for the 2011-2012 season totaled 11.7 million tons, down slightly from the 2010-2011 season. Florida accounted for 65 percent of the total United States citrus production, while California totaled 32 percent, and Texas and Arizona combined produced the remaining 3 percent. Total utilized citrus production was down from the previous year in all citrus reporting states except Florida. Florida s share of U.S. citrus production was 170.9 million boxes in the 2011-2012 season, up 3 percent from the previous season s 166.1 million boxes. Production of oranges increased while production of grapefruit and tangerines decreased. Tangelo production remained unchanged from the 2010-2011 season. Florida s all orange production increased by 4 percent to 146.6 million boxes. Navel production is 2.65 million boxes, unchanged from the 2010-2011 season. All grapefruit production is down 5 percent to 18.9 million boxes. Production of Honey tangerines is down 4 percent and early tangerine production is down 10 percent, resulting in an 8 percent decrease in all tangerines. Production by Area and County Each production area showed an increase in citrus production compared to 2010-2011 except the Indian River District which produced 1.3 million boxes less than the 2010-2011 season. The top 5 citrus producing counties were Polk (31.2 million boxes) Highlands (23.7 million), Hendry (19.9 million), DeSoto (18.6 million), and Hardee (13.8 million). Polk County had the largest actual increase in production while Indian River County s production decreased the most. By percentage, Pasco County had the greatest increase and Martin County lost the most. Estimates of county production are prepared from objective survey data used in forecasting citrus crop production. The apportionment of final harvest to the counties is based on bearing trees, an estimate of the average fruit per tree, and the drop and size surveys. Sample size used in these surveys and the distribution of the sample groves around the State are chosen to minimize error in the estimates of production and are not to be considered as accurate for the counties as at the State or area levels. Value The value of the 2011-2012 United States citrus crop was up 6 percent from last season, at $3.44 billion (packinghousedoor equivalent). Orange value of production increased 5 percent from last season while grapefruit value is up 1 percent. Tangerine and mandarin value of production is 6 percent higher than last season and lemon value of production is up 16 percent. Tangelo value increased 44 percent from the previous season. Florida s $1.35 billion preliminary on-tree value of the 2011-2012 citrus crop is 1 percent less than the revised value of $1.37 billion for 2010-2011. The price per box is higher for grapefruit and tangelos but lower for all other citrus. The tangelo on-tree value increased nearly 73 percent from last season. Non-Valencia oranges and all grapefruit also had increases in the value of production of 5 percent and 2 percent respectively.

Foreign Exports Fresh fruit exports totaled 9.8 million 4/5 bushel cartons. Japan accounted for the majority of Florida grapefruit exports. Canada received most of Florida s orange and specialty fresh fruit exports. A total of 15.3 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ), and 3.9 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice (FCGJ) were exported in the 2011-2012 season. Frozen Concentrate Final Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) yield, as reported by the Florida Department of Citrus, was 1.628480 gallons per box of 42 Brix concentrate. A record FCOJ yield of 1.672737 was set in the 2007-2008 season. The early-midseason portion of the crop finalized at 1.529715 gallons per box. The late crop yielded 1.745597 gallons per box. The final Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice (FCGJ) yield was 1.324913 gallons per box of 40 Brix concentrate, down slightly from last season s final of 1.327872 gallons per box. The final Frozen Concentrated Tangerine Juice (FCTJ) yield of 1.586671 gallons per box of 42 Brix concentrate was higher than last season s final of 1.438629 gallons per box. 2011-2012 Citrus Box Weights: Approximate net weight by fruit type and states State Orange Grapefruit Tangerine Lemon Lime FL...

The total value of peanut production increased 47 percent and was valued at $236 million. The value of production of cotton ($67.9 million) decreased 21 percent, while the value of production for cottonseed ($12.2 million) increased 5 percent. Acreage and Production Acreage harvested in 2012 for corn, cotton, hay, peanuts, soybeans, and wheat totaled 702 thousand acres, up 19 percent from the 592 thousand acres harvested in 2011. Harvested acres for corn (40,000), hay (320,000), peanuts (200,000), soybeans (20,000), and wheat (15,000) increased; whereas, acreage for cotton (107,000) decreased. Production increased for corn (36%), cotton (9%), hay (18%), peanuts (42%), soybeans (81%), and wheat (71%). Sugarcane Florida producers harvested 410 thousand acres of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2012, up 3 percent from the previous year. Production in 2012 was up 4 percent totaling 15,578 thousand tons. The value of production for the 2011 crop was $673 million, up 37 percent from the previous year. Crop Weather In January 2012, moderate to severe drought conditions persisted throughout the State. Low temperatures across Florida dipped below freezing early in the month and again mid-month. Enjoyable daytime temperatures were in the 70s and 80s for most of the month. Sugarcane harvest was well underway. In February, drought conditions worsened for most of the State, with significant portions of the Panhandle reporting extreme drought conditions. At the beginning of the month, lows ranged between the mid-20s to the 60s and highs were in the 70s and 80s. At month s end, low temperatures were mostly in the mid-40s and highs reached the mid-to-high 80s. Harvesting of sugarcane continued throughout the month. In March, producers welcomed rainfall across the Panhandle and northern Florida early in the month. Additional rainfall was recorded throughout the State, but at month s end, extreme drought conditions were prevalent in a band stretching from Jacksonville southwest through Gainesville and onto the Gulf Coast. The drought was also present in Sarasota and Manatee counties. Highs were in the 80s, lows ranged between the 40s and 60s. Producers began planting corn, peanuts, and potatoes. In April, hot, dry conditions and minimal rainfall at the beginning of the month worsened the drought conditions across the State. Widespread rainfall during the middle of the month was reported. Low temperatures were in the 40s and the low 50s, with highs in the 80s. Corn planting was completed during the month, while peanut planting was 21 percent complete at the end of the month. In May, scattered showers across the State did little to alleviate the drought conditions for most of the month. Tropical Storm Beryl at the end of the month brought substantial rainfall to the State and greatly improved the moisture deficit. Highs were in the lower 90s while lows were in the upper 60s. Winter wheat was harvested and peanut planting was 91 percent complete at the end of the month. In June, beneficial rains dramatically improved the drought conditions. Tropical Storm Debby brought widespread downpours and most stations recorded significant rainfall. At month s end only a portion of the Panhandle and Southwest Florida was categorized as abnormally dry. Daytime highs were mostly in the upper 80s and low 90s. Evening lows were in the 60s and 70s. Peanut planting was completed early in the month and was 45 percent pegged at month s end. Hay was harvested when weather permitted. 41

In July, drought conditions remained mostly unchanged, with a portion of the Panhandle and Southwest Florida categorized as being abnormally dry or in a moderate drought. Intermittent rain and hot temperatures prevailed. At the end of the month, corn harvest was underway. Hay harvest continued as well. In August, ample rainfall across the State eliminated all drought conditions. Low temperatures were in the mid 60s, while the highs were in the upper 90s. At the end of the month, peanut harvest was just underway. Corn harvest was almost complete. In September, areas of south Florida picked up five inches of rain from Tropical Storm Isaac as it passed just south of Key West early in the month. Rainfall from Tropical Storm Isaac helped refill Lake Okeechobee to rise three-quarters of a foot in two days. Florida had no abnormally dry areas according to the U.S. Drought Monitor throughout the month. Minimum temperatures ranged from the 50s to the 70s, while the maximum temperatures were in the upper 80s to the 90s. Peanut harvest was well underway, some growers reported superior yields. Sugarcane planting began in south Florida. In October, Florida had no abnormally dry areas according to the U.S. Drought Monitor throughout the month. Scattered rainfall aided producers as they worked to harvest their fall crops. Low temperatures ranged from the 50s to the 70s, while high temperatures were in the 80s to low 90s. Peanut harvest was nearing completion at the end of the month, while cotton harvest continued. In November, rainfall was light and scattered across the State. Cooler weather and dry conditions were the norm. Portions of the Panhandle were abnormally dry at month s end. Some freezing temperatures were reported in Northern Florida late in the month. The cotton harvest was nearing completion. In December, the State was abnormally dry in the Panhandle and in South Florida. Field crop harvesting was complete in the Panhandle, while sugarcane harvest continued in South Florida.

2011-2012 SEASON VEGETABLE HIGHLIGHTS 2012 United States Fresh Market Vegetable Production Up 1 Percent from 2011 United States fresh market vegetable and melon production for the 24 selected crops estimated in 2012 totaled 438 million hundredweight, up 1 percent from last year. The harvested area covered 1.68 million acres, up 1 percent from 2011. Value of the 2012 crop is estimated at 10.1 billion dollars, down 6 percent from a year ago. The three largest crops, in terms of production, are onions, head lettuce, and watermelons, which combined to account for 36 percent of the total production. Onions, tomatoes, and sweet corn claim the highest values, accounting for 26 percent of the total value when combined. For the vegetables and melons estimated in 2012, Florida was the second leading fresh market vegetable state, in 2012 accounting for 11 percent of the harvested area, 9 percent of production, and 11 percent of the value of production.

Data included in this publication reflects vegetable acreage, yield, production, and value for January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012. Monthly price data was not available for vegetables during 2012. Production was up for many vegetables compared to the previous year, but prices were down and resulted in a lower total value of production. Prices were up for snap beans, cucumbers, watermelons, and blueberries. Value The 2012 value of Florida production for the seven major vegetable crops, berries, and watermelons totaled $1.41 billion, down 19 percent from the 2011 value of $1.73 billion. The ranking from the highest to lowest value of the published vegetable and berry crops are: (1) tomatoes, peppers, (3) strawberries, (4) sweet corn, (5) snap beans, (6) watermelons, (7) cucumbers, (8) squash, (9) blueberries, and (10) cabbage. Crops that increased in value and percentage increase included cucumbers (30%), snap beans (27%), watermelons (23%), and sweet corn (3%). Crops that decreased in value and percentage included strawberries (-45%), tomatoes (-38%), cabbage (-22%), bell peppers (-16%), squash (-13%), and blueberries (-10%). Acreage The harvested acreage for 2012 of the major vegetable crops, watermelons, potatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, and blueberries totaled 242,800, up from the 232,700 acres harvested the previous year. Crops with increased acreage included sweet potatoes (210%), blueberries (18%), cucumbers (14%), cabbage (14%), snap beans (7%), squash (4%), watermelons (4%), potatoes (3%), tomatoes (2%), and peppers (2%). Crops with less acreage and percentage decrease included strawberries (-12%) and sweet corn (-2%). 81

These crops are not estimated for all States that might produce them. See the 2007 Census of Agriculture for a comprehensive tally of total vegetable acres by State. Includes processing total for dual usage crops (asparagus, broccoli, and cauliflower) Production Production in 2012 of the major vegetable crops, watermelons, potatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries, and blueberries totaled 49.76 million hundredweight, up 2 percent from 2011. Production increased for sweet potatoes (58%), cucumber (18%), cabbage (14%), sweet corn (7%), tomatoes (5%), peppers (2%), and snap beans (1%). Crops with less production and percentage decrease included strawberries (26%), blueberries (20%), squash (-10%), potatoes (2%), and watermelons (-1%). Weather for the 2012 Growing Season January 2012 began with freezing temperatures in the southern portions of the State and caused some damage to the vegetable crops. Most vegetable growers worked around the clock in the fields to protect their crops and plants from the chilling temperatures. Strawberry growers ran overhead sprinklers to form ice caps on plants as cold protection. Harvesting and replanting of winter vegetables continued in the southern Peninsula. Hastings growers began planting potatoes. Market movement included snap beans, cabbage, celery, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplant, endive, escarole, bell peppers, radishes, squash, and tomatoes. February saw dry conditions and average temperatures. Producers were irrigating fields throughout the month due to drought conditions. Vegetable planting continued in St. Lucie County. Some damage was reported in St. Johns County to potatoes and Putnam County to cabbage due to frost. Producers harvested snap beans, cabbage, celery, sweet corn, eggplant, endive, escarole, bell peppers, radishes, squash, strawberries, and tomatoes. During March, the harvesting of winter vegetables was ongoing in south Florida and increased as the month progressed. Favorable weather conditions allowed planting and harvesting to remain on schedule. Producers were planting watermelons in north-central Florida. Supplies of strawberries increased as growers met the demands of the March Strawberry Festival. Some farmers were planting and preparing fields for the spring harvest (April-July). Very light harvesting of blueberries was underway. In April, drought conditions prevailed throughout most of the State. Clear, dry conditions allowed fieldwork and harvesting to progress unabated. The dry weather increased the need for irrigation in the central and southern Peninsula areas. Cabbage and celery supplies declined as the season ended. The watermelon harvest began earlier than usual. The potato harvest began in the Hastings area. In May, drought conditions continued. The vegetable harvest finished in the Miami-Dade area, while potato harvest continued in Flagler and Putnam counties. Watermelon, squash, and cantaloupe harvest continued. Quincy tomato growers prepared fields for summer harvesting. Producers marketed snap beans, blueberries, cantaloupes, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplant, okra, bell peppers, squash, tomatoes, and watermelons. June brought heavy rains as Tropical Storm Beryl and Debby passed through the State. Rain and wet fields delayed harvesting in many areas. In Gilchrist County, producers harvested watermelons. Tomato harvesting continued in Gadsden County. In Washington County, watermelon and sweet corn fields were harvested at a rapid pace. In Miami- Dade County, mangoes and avocadoes were marketed. Tomato harvesting remained active in the Quincy area with supplies declining seasonally. Growers marketed avocados, cantaloupes, mangoes, and tomatoes. 82

In July most vegetables were finished for the season. There was some tomato harvesting in western and central Florida. In Okeechobee County, irrigated sweet corn harvesting continued. Northern Peninsula growers were still harvesting light supplies of watermelons as the season concluded. In August vegetable growers were busy with land preparation, fumigating, and laying plastic for the fall crops. Harvesting and replanting of okra and sweet potatoes was underway. Rain late in the month disrupted some land preparations and planting schedules around Charlotte, Collier, Hendry, and Lee counties. September began with Tropical Storm Isaac bringing up to five inches of rainfall to South Florida. In the southern counties, vegetable growers continued to prepare land and planting increased seasonally. Flagler and Putnam county growers planted cabbage. Okra, cucumbers, and tomatoes were being marketed at the end of the month. In October, the fall vegetable harvest was in full swing with lots of activity at the local farmers markets. Growers were planting winter vegetables in south Miami-Dade County. The harvest of tomatoes continued in Gadsden County. Strawberry planting was in full swing in Hillsborough County. Vegetables being marketed included tomatoes, beans, corn, cucumbers, okra, watermelon, and light volumes of eggplants. In November, growers enjoyed mild temperatures and dry conditions. Harvesting and replanting of winter vegetables was progressing well in south Florida, while cabbage and strawberry planting continued in other parts of the State. Crops coming to market included green beans, sweet corn, cucumber, squash, peppers, tomatoes, and watermelons. In December, dry conditions prompted vegetable growers to irrigate to keep moisture levels up. Above normal temperatures for this time of year resulted in good growing conditions for vegetables. Tomato harvest ended in Gadsden County. Vegetables marketed included corn, cucumbers, green beans, eggplant, lettuce, peppers, radishes, and tomatoes. Early marketing of strawberries was also reported.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONS Planted Acreage is the total acreage which has been planted for harvest during the crop year. Acreage lost and replanted to the same crop in time for harvest in the same quarter is counted only once. Acreage harvested and planted again to the same crop is counted twice. Harvested Acreage is the acreage partially or completely harvested. Acreage lost before or at maturity through natural or economic causes is not included in the acreage for harvest. Yield is the average production per harvested acre of merchantable quality harvested and sold or utilized for human consumption. Production is the quantity actually harvested and sold or utilized for human consumption. Unit Value for fresh market sales is the equivalent price received, f.o.b. shipping point basis and encompasses all grades and sizes marketed or utilized. Included are packing charges, selling charges, precooling, top ice, or other costs which contribute to the value of the product at shipping point. The value per unit for quantities sold to processors is the average value paid for usable quantities, on a "delivered to plant door" basis. This value includes transportation and other normal costs incident to delivery at plant door. Total Value is the equivalent value of production sold or utilized based on the unit value. Cullage and other quantities not sold or utilized because of natural or economic factors are excluded. Other Counties include harvested acreage for all counties for which either published data would result in the disclosure of individual operations or acreage totals for specific commodities of minor importance in the State. Production And Price Unit - The official USDA vegetable crop estimates are published on a weight basis. For this bulletin, the official estimates for most vegetable crops have been converted to hundredweight. If changes in container weights are necessary, all data pertaining to the production of the commodity in question are revised to maintain comparability between years. The table below gives the net weight used per container and the number of containers per hundredweight for Florida produce.

AQUACULTURE & SEAFOOD HIGHLIGHTS Florida aquaculture producers reported sales in 2012 of $69 million based upon a survey conducted for the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Aquaculture. This survey was administered by the Florida Agricultural Statistics Service. Reported sales in 2012 were above those of $66 million reported in 2005, the last time this survey was conducted. There were 686 operations that reported being in business during 2012; of those, 404 operations reported appreciable sales. The operations without sales reflect either new operations which have not yet sold a product or operations in business that did not market any product in 2012. Florida aquaculturists produced animals or plants for ornamental, food or miscellaneous markets. Ornamental sales totaled $35.5 million and consisted of freshwater or marine animals and plants that included freshwater fish, crayfish or marine fish, corals, live rock, snails, and shrimp sold to the aquarium or water garden markets. Sales of aquaculture products for human consumption totaled $24.1 million and included freshwater or marine fish, clams, oysters, shrimp, prawns, alligators, and turtles.

FORESTRY HIGHLIGHTS Economic Output: Florida s nearly 16 million acres of timberlands supported economic activities which generated $13.95 billion in total output impacts in 2011. This was an 8% drop from 2010, but 3% more than in 2008 at the lowest point in the recent economic recession (Fig. 1). Figure 1. Economic impacts of forestry, wood and paper product manufacturing industries in Florida between 2001 and 2011. Employment: 2011 employment impacts were nearly 76,000 full and part-time jobs, which was 14,000 fewer jobs than in 2010. The 2011 employment in forestry and forest products industry represented a 17% increase over 2008 employment at the lowest point of the recession. Value Added: At $6.01 billion, value added impacts were also lower in 2011 than in 2010 by 17% (Fig. 1), but still 30% higher than in 2008. Compensation: The pulp and paper products industry supported 75% of income paid to the labor force employed in forestry and related industries in 2011. At 13%, forest management and logging was the next largest sector in terms of income paid out to workers in 2011. Secondary wood products sector generated 7% of income, while lumber, veneer and panels manufacturing paid the remaining 5% of wages and benefits in forestry-related occupations (Fig. 2). 118

Figure 2. Labor income impacts distribution among forestry, wood and paper product industry sectors in Florida, 2011. Export Value: At $5.15 billion in 2011, and similarly to other economic indicators, the export value of Florida s forest products to outof-state destinations dropped 7% since 2010 (Fig. 3). Figure 3. Export value of Florida s forest products to out-of-state destinations between 2001 and 2011. 119

Fiscal Impacts: In 2011, indirect business tax impacts of forestry and forest products industries in Florida were $401 million. Of that amount, $310 million was generated by pulp and paper sector, $64 million by forest tract management and logging activities, $16 million by lumber, veneer and panel manufacturing, and $11 million by secondary products manufacturing industries. Total other property income impacts, such as interests, rents, royalties and dividends, were $1.78 billion in 2011. The largest share again was generated by pulp and paper manufacturing at $1.52 billion. Forest tract management and logging activities generated $160 million, the secondary forest products sector $64 million, while lumber, veneer and panels manufacturing generated $41 million. Forest Ownership: Florida timberland ownership, which supports forest products industry is 71% private (65% non-industrial, and 6% forest industry) 15% state, 11% federal, 3% county and municipal (Fig. 4). That translates into 11.3 million acres in private ownerships, 2.4 million acres in state, 1.7 million acres in federal and 0.5 million acres in county and municipal. Figure 4. Florida timberland ownership by major ownership sectors, 2011. 120

Forest Distribution: Although forests cover about 50% of the state s land area, Florida s timberlands are located mostly north of Orlando (Fig. 5). In the northern half of the state most counties are at least 50% forested, whereas the peninsular Florida is forested 40% or less. Liberty County in northwest Florida is the most forested with timberlands covering more than 90% of its area. On the other hand, a number of counties in southeast Florida support less than 10% of timberland (Fig. 5). Figure 5. Florida timberlands as percentage of county area, 2011. Local Importance: In 2012, there were 58 primary wood using mills in Florida (see following table). The local economic importance of forests depends on a number of factors including proximity to markets.

Depending on type and size, which dictates raw material needs, they have the biggest economic impact in a zone of 50 to 75 mile radius. This corresponds to an area from which they can purchase wood in the most economical way, providing income to local timberland owners. Figure 6. Florida primary wood processing facilities, 2012. 122

The reports contain the same statistics but offer more details about agriculture in Florida. Links are also available to other sites such as the Florida Department of Agriculture, University of Florida and other NASS field offices. Printer Reports & Computer Format All NASS reports are still printed on paper. Census reports are only available while supplies last; contact the Florida office for a copy.
