DEAR FRIENDS OF AGRICULTURE,

Florida agriculture has faced its fair share of challenges over the last year, including severe freezes in January 2010 and December 2010. Yet, Florida agriculture has proven to be an economic engine that never fails.

Florida’s 47,500 farms produce nearly 300 different commodities on more than 9.2 million acres of land. Florida agriculture employs three quarters of a million people and contributes more than $100 billion to our state’s economy annually.

2010 was a record year for many commodities. Strawberries increased cash receipts by $49 million, bell peppers earned an additional $97 million and tomatoes saw an increase of $110 million.

Find these figures and much more in Florida Agriculture By the Numbers. This publication, pro-duced 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. PUTNAMCOMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The acreage, production and value statistics in this publication are the official State and USDA esti-mates prepared by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Florida Field Office in cooper-ation with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS). These estimates are current as of May 2011 and may be revised later in the year or in the following year, if additional data becomes available. Any revisions made to these estimates, as well as estimates made after May 2011, 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 Com-mittee, the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, floriculture and nursery producers, sales agen-cies, 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 unpre-dictability 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, and field and telephone enumerators. They are the ones who have worked hard to collect, review and sum-marize 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)

Florida Agriculture By The Numbers

The Florida Agriculture By The Numbers has been published to provide you with reliable, comprehen-sive information and data on Florida agriculture. People worldwide use the basics of food, fiber and forestry products daily. Florida’s producers contribute mightily 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 Agricultural Overview Section provides a general overview of Florida agriculture. The Agricultural Statistics Section presents comparative perfor-mances of major commodity groups and benchmark economic data.

Occasionally, numbers in rows or columns do not sum exactly. This usually occurs when large num-bers 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.

The Groups Directory Section offers contact information for a variety of agricultural related enti-ties. Both public and private organizations are listed. The Department Contacts Section identifies the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumers Services’ divisions with contact information.

Together, these sections provide a view of Florida agriculture and its impact on Florida’s economy. If you need additional information, please call the Division of Marketing and Development at850-488-4366.

We are pleased to present the Florida Agriculture By The Numbers. This book will provide excellent reference data year round. Keep it handy.

2009-2010 SEASON CITRUS HIGHLIGHTSU.S. AND FLORIDA PRODUCTION

Citrus utilized production for the 2009-2010 season in the United States totaled 10.9 million tons, down 8 percent from the 2008-09 season. Florida accounted for 65 percent of the total United States citrus production with 159.3 million boxes of citrus in the 2009-2010 season, California totaled 31 percent, and Texas and Arizona produced the remaining 4 percent.

Florida's total 2009-2010 citrus utilization decreased 16 percent from the previous season. Utilized citrus production in California increased 15 percent for the 2009-2010 season. Utilized citrus production in Texas was up 4 percent. Total citrus production in Arizona was down 27 percent from the previous season.

Florida's all orange production fell 18 percent to 133.6 million boxes. Navel production was 2.3 million boxes, down 23 percent from the previous 2 seasons and the lowest since 1985-1986. Grapefruit utilization in Florida, at 20.3 million boxes, was down 6 percent from the 2008-2009 season’s utilization. Honey tangerine production at 2.2 million boxes was up 69 percent from the previous season’s 1.3 million boxes, the lowest since 1994-1995.

TREE INVENTORY

Results of the annual commercial citrus inventory show a net decrease of 14,777 total citrus acres, or 3 percent from the 2009 survey, to 554,037 acres of commercial citrus. The gross loss of 25,109 acres was larger and the new plantings of 10,332 acres were smaller compared to the previous inventory.

Since the year 2000, total acreage has declined 33 percent or 278,238 acres. The drop of nearly 12 percent of citrus trees since the 2006 tree inventory is a result of record cold temperatures, citrus canker, greening disease, and commercial development.

Of the 30 counties included in the annual citrus inventory, 23 recorded decreases and 7 showed increases in acreage. Martin County experienced the greatest loss in acreage at 4,386, while Palm Beach County had the highest percentage loss at 55 percent. Polk had the largest gain and continues to lead with the most acres at 83,471. Hendry is second with 66,814 acres while DeSoto and Highlands follow with over 62,000 acres each.

Total citrus trees are down 3 percent from 74,090,500 in 2009 to 72,164,800 in 2010. Hendry remains the leader with over 10.0 million citrus trees, followed closely by Polk with almost 10.0 million, DeSoto with 8.3 million, and Highlands with 8.0 million trees. Of the total, oranges comprise 88 percent; grapefruit, 8 percent; and the remainder includes specialty and other citrus at 4 percent. Since 2009, bearing trees decreased 3 percent to 67,655,800 while non-bearing trees decreased by less than 1 percent to 4,509,000.

PRODUCTION BY AREAS AND COUNTIES

Total citrus production in 2009-2010 was down in all Florida commercial citrus production areas from the 2008-2009 season. The Southern and Western areas were down the most with decreases of 13.4 million and 7.4 million boxes respectively. The Northern area’s decrease of less than 388,000 boxes was the smallest. The top 5 citrus producing counties were Polk (27.9 million), Highlands (21.6 million), DeSoto (18.0 million), Hendry (16.3 million), and Hardee (13.0 million). Losses were recorded in all counties with the exceptions of Hernando and Orange.

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 and the distribution of the sample groves around the State used in these surveys 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 2009-2010 United States citrus crop increased 5 percent from last season, to $2.88 billion (packinghouse-door equivalent). Even though United States citrus production was lower than last season, higher prices for the majority of the citrus crops pushed crop values up. Orange value of production decreased 2 percent from last season while grapefruit value is up 28 percent. Tangerine and mandarin value of production is 33 percent higher than last season and lemon value of production is up 14 percent. Tangelo value increased 23 percent from the previous season.

Florida’s $1.055 billion (on-tree equivalent) preliminary value of the 2009-2010 citrus crop is almost 1 percent greater than the revised value of $1.047 billion for 2008-2009. The price per box was higher for all varieties. White grapefruit and tangelos rebounded from last season’s lower prices and on-tree values more than doubled. The all-tangerine value increased 73 percent. Only the orange on-tree values are lower.

FOREIGN EXPORTS AND FROZEN CONCENTRATE

Fresh fruit exports totaled 12.4 million 4/5 bushel cartons. Japan accounted for the majority of Florida grapefruit. Canada received most of Florida’s orange and specialty fresh fruit exports. A total of 16.0 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) and 4.4 million gallons of Frozen Concentrated Grapefruit Juice (FCGJ) were exported in the 2009-2010 season.

Final FCOJ yield, as reported by the Florida Department of Citrus, was 1.559677 gallons per box of 42° Brix concentrate, far below the record of 1.672737 set in the 2007-2008 season. The early-midseason portion of the crop finalized at 1.511083 gallons per box. The late crop yielded 1.625245 gallons per box.

The final FCGJ yield was 1.309023 gallons per box of 40° Brix concentrate, up from last season but lower than the 1.31020 gallons per box recorded in 2007-2008.

The final Frozen Concentrated Tangerine Juice (FCTJ) yield of 1.438629 gallons per box of 42° Brix concentrate was lower than last season’s final of 1.567257 gallons per box.

AVOCADOS IN FLORIDA

Production of Florida avocados decreased from the previous season by 170,000 bushels, or 15 percent. Bearing acreage is estimated at 7,400 acres, down 1 percent from last season. The price per bushel was $15.00, up 25 percent from the previous season, bringing the value of crop production to $13,920,000.

In Florida, most early season varieties of avocados are West Indian types, whereas midseason and late varieties are mostly Guatemalan-West Indian hybrids or Guatemalan types. Commercial production is primarily in Miami-Dade and Collier counties. Florida avocados have a lower fat content than those from other states and countries, and are typically larger than avocados from California. They are available from June through the end of February.

2010 FIELD CROPS HIGHLIGHTS VALUE

The 2010 total value of production for corn, cotton and cottonseed, hay, peanuts, pecans, soybeans, and wheat totaled $285.3 million compared with $257.1 million in 2009, an 11 percent increase. The value of cotton at $54.8 million and cottonseed at $5.7 million increased 44 percent and 23 percent, respectively. The value of peanuts at $91.3 million increased 35 percent from the previous year. The value of hay at $108.3 million was down 5 percent from the previous year, corn at $12.4 million was down 17 percent, and soybeans at $7.6 million, was down 38 percent.

ACREAGE AND PRODUCTION

Acreage harvested in 2010 for corn, cotton, hay, peanuts, soybeans, and wheat totaled 599 thousand acres, up 5.5 percent from the 568 thousand acres harvested in 2009. Harvested acreage increased for peanuts (30,000 acres), hay (20,000 acres), and cotton (11,000 acres). Harvested acreage decreased for corn (12,000 acres), soybeans (11,000 acres), and wheat (7,000 acres). Production increased for peanuts (37 percent), cotton (21 percent), and cottonseed (16 percent). Production decreased for wheat (53 percent), soybeans (47 percent), corn for grain (29 percent), pecans (28 percent), and hay (5 percent).

SUGARCANE

Florida producers harvested 392 thousand acres of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2010, up 1 percent from the 387 thousand acres harvested in 2009. Production in 2010 was 14,396 thousand tons, up 3 percent from the 13,939 thousand tons produced in 2009. The value of the 2009 crop was $550.6 million dollars, up 38 percent from the value for the 2008 crop.

CROP WEATHER

January began with abundant rains and seasonal temperatures. Some row crop fields remained to be harvested. The sugarcane harvest remained active. Planting of winter wheat was delayed by rain. Field preparations for potato planting got underway. As the month progressed, sub-freezing temperatures averaging 10 to 20 degrees below normal continued for nearly two weeks. Young sugarcane suffered freeze damage and older canes had the tops frozen. Growers rushed the final harvest to minimize sucrose loss. Forage crops such as rye and oats were damaged due to cold weather and flooding. Late January temperatures were above normal and rainfall provided adequate soil moisture.

February began with above normal temperatures and widespread showers that hindered fieldwork. At mid-month, temperature averaged 6 to 12 degrees below normal. Freezing temperatures were recorded as far south as Orlando, and snow fell across parts of the Panhandle. Significant amounts of rain fell over large areas of the State. Most fieldwork was delayed due to wet conditions except in the southern region. Growers replanted potato fields where freeze damage occurred. Producers began harvesting potatoes that escaped freeze damage in late February. The month ended with temperatures four to eight degrees below normal.

March had frequent rains and below average temperatures. Frost occurred several nights in a row in northern Florida. Mid-month temperatures continued to be below normal. Severe storms with high winds brought heavy rain to many areas and two to four inches of rainfall. The month concluded with below average temperatures and more heavy rains. The soil moisture ratings were mostly adequate to surplus. These cold, wet conditions hampered fieldwork preparation for field crops and leached fertilizers. Field preparation took place for peanuts and cotton, but planting was delayed until soils were dryer and warmer. Flooding in the Hastings area caused some potato fields to be replanted. The sugarcane harvest was completed. Corn planting was near completion at the end of the month.

April began with slightly below normal temperatures and rain across central and southern regions. Growers were busy preparing fields for peanuts, cotton, and soybeans. At mid-month, it rained across much of the State except

32

C-2

for northern counties. Near the end of the month substantial rainfall brought relief to dry conditions. Soil moisture levels were rated 85 percent adequate to surplus. Snap beans and sweet potatoes were planted in Miami-Dade County.

May began with warm temperatures and substantial rainfall which continued throughout most of the month. Peanut planting continued, but was delayed at mid-month by the heavy rains. Cotton planning was completed in some areas early in the month. Sugarcane producers were busy cultivating, fertilizing, and applying weed control. Harvesting of wheat and oats began at mid-month.

June began with rain and thunderstorms with high humidity. Mid-month temperatures were above normal and coupled with daily scattered showers. By mid-June the wheat harvest was almost completed and nearly all the peanuts harvested. The potato harvest was virtually complete in the Hastings area and growers reported a good season. Dry conditions stunted cotton growth later in the month.

July began with beneficial showers that gave some relief to above normal temperatures. The warm temperatures and sporadic showers continued throughout the month keeping soil moisture supplies rated at over 80 percent to surplus. Weed pressure was higher than average due to rains. Some disease problems were reported in cotton fields. Hay was harvested with a few interruptions from rain.

August began with dry conditions and temperatures rising to over 100 degrees in some areas. Areas that missed the showers dried quickly from the excessive heat and farmers ran irrigation to maintain soil moisture. Peanut and cotton fields showed significant stress. Rain during the last week of August provided some relief. Harvest of corn for silage was nearly complete by the end of the month.

September began with heavy rains in the central and southern areas. Northern areas missed the showers needed to aid crops. The peanut harvest was underway by mid-month. Fieldwork progressed with vegetable planting and cotton picking.

October began with above normal temperatures and varying precipitation. Mid-month temperatures were two to seven degrees cooler than normal. Little rain fell during the rest of the month and temperatures averaged above normal. Drought conditions were present across approximately 75 percent of the State. The peanut harvest continued ahead of schedule despite hard, dry soils that made harvesting difficult. The cotton harvest was in full swing by mid-month, and the corn harvest was nearly completed.

November began with warm dry, weather. The cotton, soybean, and peanut harvest was nearly completed by the first week in November. Mid-month showers brought temporary relief. At mid-month, a cold front set record lows in some localities. Dry conditions continued throughout the remainder of the month.

December began with dry conditions that were most severe in the northeast. A cold front brought frigid temperatures into the 20s that set record lows across the State. The cold weather continued through the end of the month. The sugarcane crop was damaged as the tops of older canes were frozen. Newly planted canes were burnt back to the ground from the hard freeze. Little precipitation fell during the month.

2009-2010 SEASON VEGETABLE HIGHLIGHTS

VALUE

The 2009-10 value of production for the seven major vegetable crops, potatoes, berries, and watermelons totaled $2.09 billion, up 11 percent from the 2008-09 value of $1.89 billion. Crops that increased in value included bell peppers (49%), tomatoes (21%), snap beans (20%), cabbage (16%), strawberries (15%), squash (10%), and potatoes (3%). Crops that decreased in value included cucumbers (-39%), sweet corn (-17%), watermelons (-17%), and blueberries (-6%). Increases in prices helped offset reduced production for bell peppers, cabbage, snap beans, squash, strawberries and tomatoes.

ACREAGE AND PRODUCTION

The harvested acreage for the 2009-10 season of the seven major vegetable crops, watermelons, potatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries and blueberries totaled 223,500 acres, down two percent from the 227,200 acres harvested the previous year. Crops with increased acreage included cabbage (2%), cucumbers (3%), potatoes (10%), squash (3%), sweet potatoes (6%) and blueberries (9%). Acreage for strawberries at 8,800 acres was unchanged from the previous year. Crops with less acreage included tomatoes (-14%), watermelons (-5%), bell peppers (-3%), snap beans (-2%) and sweet corn (-2%).

Despite the harvested acreage being down only two percent, production was down 13 percent due to adverse growing conditions. Production increased 26 percent for sweet potatoes, 21 percent for blueberries and three percent for potatoes. Major vegetables percentage decrease in production included tomatoes (-29%), cabbage (-20%), strawberries (-19%), cucumbers (-13%), sweet corn (-12%), peppers (-9%), snap beans (-9%), watermelons (-8%) and squash (-5%).

WEATHER

In January, the year began with abundant rains and seasonal temperatures. Then sub-freezing temperatures, averaging 10 to 20 degrees below normal, continued for nearly two weeks. The strawberry harvest was greatly reduced and growers in south Florida reported losses to beans, squash and tomatoes. Late January temperatures were above normal and rainfall provided adequate soil moisture.

February began with above normal temperatures and widespread showers. At mid-month, temperature averaged 6 to 12 degrees below normal. Freezing temperatures were recorded as far south as Orlando, and snow fell across parts of the Panhandle. Significant amounts of rain fell over most of the State. Spring vegetable planting and field preparations were delayed by the cold weather and rain. Light volumes of vegetables moved through the market. Strawberries were recovering from the cold temperatures and the supply increased. The month ended with temperatures four to eight degrees below normal.

March had frequent rains and below average temperatures. Frost occurred several nights in a row in northern Florida. Mid-month temperatures continued to be below normal and hindered vegetable growth in many areas. Watermelons were in the ground for weeks without significant growth. Severe storms with high winds brought heavy rain to many areas. Production was below normal for cabbage, celery, sweet corn, endive, escarole, radishes and tomatoes. Vegetable growers laid plastic and drip irrigation systems to prepare for spring plantings. In the southern region, snap beans, cabbage and sweet potatoes were being harvested. The month concluded with below average temperatures and more rain.

April began with slightly below normal temperatures and rain across central and southern regions. Vegetable crop development and maturity were two to three weeks behind schedule from prolonged cold conditions. Cabbage production was below normal. Near the end of the month substantial rainfall brought relief to dry conditions, and soil moisture levels improved to 85 percent adequate to surplus.

E-2

May was a month of warm temperatures and substantial rainfall. Harvesting was underway for tomatoes, bell peppers, cantaloupe and watermelon, but shipments were light. In some growing areas, rain, heat and low prices stopped harvesting of vegetables. Farm labor was occasionally reported as scarce. In the central growing areas, tomatoes, sweet corn, watermelons and cantaloupes were being picked with good yields and quality. Sweet corn and peas were being planted.

June began with rain and thunderstorms. Mid-month temperatures were above normal and coupled with daily scattered showers. Hot, humid temperatures stressed vegetables. Most sweet corn growers completed harvesting the spring crop. Tomato harvesting was active in central and northern counties. Some growers suspended harvesting activities due to low prices. Heavy tonnage of watermelons was being harvested, but prices were low. Cantaloupe harvesting was near its peak and quality was good.

July had warm temperatures and sporadic showers that kept soil moisture mostly adequate to surplus. Tomato picking was nearing completion around the Quincy area and growers begin to prepare for the fall planting season. Northern Peninsula growers were still harvesting light supplies of watermelons as the season concluded. In the south, vegetable growers were preparing fields and laying plastic for fall crops.

August began with dry conditions and temperatures rising to over 100 degrees. Areas that missed the showers dried quickly from the excessive heat requiring irrigation to maintain soil moisture. Rain during the last week of August provided some relief. Producers prepared fields and laid plastic for fall vegetables.

September began with heavy rains in the central and southern areas. Northern areas missed the showers. Vegetable planting was in high gear from the northern to southern Peninsula areas.

October began with above normal temperatures and varying precipitation. Mid-month temperatures were two to seven degrees cooler than normal and delayed crop maturity. Light harvesting of cucumbers and squash was underway. Producers planted cabbage and prepared fields for planting strawberries. Little rain fell later in the month and temperatures averaged above normal. Drought conditions were present across approximately 75 percent of the State. Growers delayed planting some fall vegetables because the fields were too dry.

November began with warm, dry weather. Mid-month showers brought temporary relief. A mid-month cold front set record lows in some localities. Three nights of heavy frost coupled with unseasonably cold temperatures ended vegetable production in Washington County. Dry conditions continued throughout the remainder of the month. Vegetable harvesting gained momentum as growers tried to meet the Thanksgiving Day demand. Potato field preparations were in full swing in St. Johns County.

December began with dry conditions which continued throughout the month. A cold front brought frigid temperatures into the 20s and set record lows across the State. The cold weather continued through the end of the month. Vegetable producers covered plants with freeze cloths and ran overhead sprinklers for freeze protection. Some growers used helicopters to push warmer air closer to the ground. Strawberry growers irrigated to form ice caps on plants to save the plants and immature fruit. Highway truck restrictions were eased to allow vulnerable crops to be transported quickly to processors. Only light shipments of vegetables were available for marketing.

DEFINITIONS AND EXPLANATIONSPLANTED 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 what is believed to be the most commonly used containers. 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 HIGHLIGHTS

Florida aquaculture producers reported sales of $75 million during 2005, down from 95.5 million in 2003 due to devastating hurricanes of 2004 and 2005. In 2005, sales increased for alligator farmers, but decreased for tropical fish, aquatic plants, hard clams, turtles, sportfish, and a variety of food fish including catfish, tilapia and hybrid striped bass. There were 359 operations that reported sales for 2005 versus 544 farms in 2003. In 2003, 544 operations used 6,450 water acres in production, versus 3,010 water acres used by 359 operations during 2005.

Forestry Information Urban sprawl, land use conversion and market changes have been identified by the U.S. Forest Service as the major challengers to the future of forestry in the South. Over the next 15 years, Florida is predicted to grow by 30 percent – 4.5 million people – bringing the state population to over 18 million. Land use will grow by 40 percent during this same time. Despite an increase in forest fragmentation, timber remains a major part of Florida’s economy. This is reflected in timber resource base and in the products harvested off Florida forests. In 2005, Florida timberlands totaled 15.6 million acres and supported more harvestable wood volume than anytime in the previous 18 years. Growing stock volume (trees > 5 inch DBH and of commercially valuable species) increased from 619 to 686 million green tons between 1987 and 2005. This is a result of increased net annual growth from 22.4 million to 26.2 million green tons, and relatively constant annual removals of about 20 million green tons.

Where does the wood come from? • 70% from private non-industrial landowners • 16% from forest industry • 14% from public lands In the last decade, more than two thirds (70 percent) of all harvests came from non-industrial private forests (NIPF), 16 percent came from forest industry lands and 14 percent came from public lands. Among the 13 southern states, Florida ranked 10th in total roundwood production, fifth in pulpwood, ninth in veneer logs and 11th in saw logs production in 2003 (Johnson et al. 2006). By 2005, Florida slipped to ninth in pulpwood production (Johnson and Steppleton 2007). Harvested wood volume varies from year to year depending on many factors including catastrophic events, such as hurricanes, which increase the harvested volume due to salvage operations. www.floridaforest.org/facts_resources.php
