September 2006
Current initiatives on bio-security and homeland security, bio-mass and energy production, conservation practices, diseases and invasive species, food quality and its availability, all have a common thread back to agriculture. Agricultural policy faces on-going challenges but also many opportunities for promotion, growth, and expansion. It is significant to note that while Michigan’s overall economy remains challenged, the value of agriculture has continued to show solid growth. A study published by Michigan State University indicates the direct and indirect linked benefits from agriculture total $60.1 billion. This important economic indicator was derived from National Agricultural Statistics Service data and other ancillary economic information. Critical and sensitive decisions directly impacting economic development, food safety, environmental stewardship, animal and plant health and protection, and homeland security rely extensively on grower reported information. Without voluntary grower survey reports, factual and reliable information would not be available to all data users. Only a few special interest groups would have the resources necessary to compile this information and a level playing field would not exist. Thanks to Michigan producers for recognizing and supporting this service which directly benefits the entire agricultural industry as a whole. Doing so sends the message, “Agriculture Counts”. The Michigan Field Office of the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service in partnership with the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) is pleased to make available this Michigan Agricultural Statistics publication. The information contained within, provides a summary of Michigan agriculture in 2005 and an overview of the accomplishments of the department. Although print copies are limited, the publication can be accessed at www.nass.usda.gov under “Statistics by State”. Our mission is to serve agriculture with timely, accurate, and unbiased information. Let us know how our office and enumerator staff can better and more efficiently serve you. Sincerely,
David D. Kleweno Director

economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production. 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.

12 CHEMICAL USAGE MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS 2005-2006
Agricultural Chemical Usage The 2005 chemical use summaries for fruit and field crops provide pesticide use data on 5 Michigan fruit crops, corn, oats, and potatoes. Fruit chemical use statistics are published every other year, alternating with vegetable chemical use statistics. Information is provided from a survey funded by the USDA Pesticide Data Program to provide reliable pesticide use statistics and to enhance the quality of information on pesticide residues in food. This data series addresses the increased public interest in agricultural chemical use and provides the means for government agencies to
respond effectively to food safety and water quality issues. The entire series of chemical usage statistics since 1990 for Michigan and the U.S. can be found on the NASS website at www.nass.usda.gov. A list of associated trade names is provided following the chemical application tables as an aid in reviewing the data. The list does not imply a recommendation for any specific trade name.

Growing Season Weather Summary Dr. Jeff Andresen, Michigan State University
The 2005 growing season in Michigan was generally characterized as much warmer than normal, and, depending on location, by precipitation totals ranging from much below normal to near normal. Fortunately, the preceding winter was wetter than normal over most sections, with as much as 200 percent of normal precipitation recorded in some locations between December and mid-March. The wetter than normal trend led to soil profiles at or near field capacity over most of the State by March, which was a critical factor in determining crop yields. Following colder than normal temperatures during much of March, an upper air ridging pattern developed across the upper midwest during the last week of the month and persisted for much of the first half of April. This resulted in a warm and dry pattern which favored spring tillage activities and some early planting. Upper air troughing and below normal temperatures returned by late April, but given drier than normal conditions, planting continued at a rapid pace into early May. The upper air troughing pattern continued off and on for much of the month of May, resulting in many sunny, cool, and windy days across the State. The cool temperatures delayed germination and early establishment of crops in many areas. Late spring freezes injured some early planted crops statewide May 3 to 6 and in some northern sections of the state on May 15. During the first week of June, a major change in the upper air ridge pattern across North America resulted in an extended period of above normal temperatures and led to rapid crop growth and development. Rainfall totals across Michigan from April through the end of June ranged from less than 3 inches in some western sections of lower Michigan to more than 7 inches in the east central Lower Peninsula. Normal precipitation for this period is generally on the order of 8 to 8.5 inches. A stationary front lingering across the region along with ample Gulf of Mexico-origin low-level moisture and several upper air disturbances brought what might truly be
termed, ‘million dollar rains’ in the form of almost daily showers and thunderstorms from July 17 to 22. Two to four inches of rain fell across most of the State, reducing or ending dryness and crop stress just as the corn crop began entering the critical pollination stage. Upper air ridging and drier than normal weather returned by early August and persisted through much of the remainder of the growing season. Following warmer and drier than normal conditions in August and September, the first killing freeze of the fall occurred later than normal in most sections of the state, from October 7 to 10 in the north, and by the last week of October in the south. Warmer than normal temperatures persisted with only brief interruptions from early June through October. Mean temperatures for these months generally ranged from 2 to 4 degrees F. above normal, leading to rapid crop development and to a relatively early crop maturation. The early maturation and warm, dry September and October led to rapid grain drydown and to significant savings for growers in terms of improved grain quality and reduced drying costs. For the 5-month May to September period, precipitation totals ranged from much below normal levels in northern sections of the State to near normal levels in a few locations mainly in central sections of the Lower Peninsula. Mean temperatures for the period were above normal over most areas, reflecting abnormal warmth from June through September. Crop performance under the warmer and drier than normal conditions was strongly impacted by soil type. Given a general lack of precipitation during much of the growing season, crop water needs were supplied at least in part by water stored in the soil profile following the wetter than normal winter. Without the full soil moisture profile at the beginning of the season, it is likely that crop yields would have been much more adversely impacted by the warm, dry conditions.

Corn There were 2.25 million acres planted to corn in 2005, up 50,000 acres from 2004. Grain corn production was 288.9 million bushels, up 12 percent from 2004; 2.02 million acres were harvested for grain. The record yield of 143 bushels per acre was up 9 bushels from the 2004 crop. Farmers harvested 220,000 acres of corn for silage with an average yield of 17.5 tons per acre. Planting of corn in Michigan began about April 10, ahead of normal. Dry, warm weather prevailed in April, and planting progress kept about 10 days ahead of average. Planting was virtually complete by the end of May. Despite the early planting, dry and cool weather the first half of May kept emergence progress only at normal. Timely rains the second half of May improved crop emergence. By mid-June, almost all plants were emerged, ahead of average. By the beginning of August, crop growth progress was about two weeks ahead of normal. About 95 percent of the crop had silked by August 1, compared with a 5-year average of 60 percent.
There was very little rainfall in August. This normally would have had a negative influence on potential yields. Since the crop was so far ahead of schedule, however, the weather actually had the positive effect of aiding the field drying. The harvest began in mid-September, two weeks ahead of normal. Nearly 90 percent of the corn had reached maturity by October 1, well ahead of the average 50 percent. By November 1, the harvest of corn for grain in Michigan was three-fourths completed, about two weeks ahead of normal. Combining was virtually complete by mid-November. Yields were excellent except in the western part of the State, where rainfall was short during the critical part of the growing season. The 2005 corn crop was valued at $491 million, down 3 percent from 2004. Corn continued to be Michigan's number one crop in value of production. The top three counties in corn production in 2005 were Lenawee, Huron, and Sanilac.

Planted Silked Dent Harvested
Dry Edible Beans The pace of dry bean planting was slower than normal with
many farmers replanting due to heavy rains in early June. The main growing area received timely rains throughout most of the growing season. Seventy percent of the crop was rated good to excellent, 24 percent was rated fair, and only 6 percent poor, at the end of September. Harvest began the last week of August for the early planted fields. By mid-September, some later planted fields were sprayed to kill the plants because the bean pods had turned brown, but the vegetative part of the plant was still green. Ninety-five
percent of the crop had been harvested by October 9, about 18 percentage points ahead of normal.
Michigan=s 2005 total dry bean production was 3.9 million hundredweight (cwt), which represented 14 percent of U.S. production. Michigan ranked second in dry bean production for 2005. The number one dry bean producer in the nation was North Dakota with 8.7 million cwt, up 82 percent from last year.

Hay and Haylage Michigan hay production was estimated at 3.29 million tons, up
from 3.27 in 2004. Alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures accounted for 85 percent of all dry hay produced. All hay harvested acres were estimated at 1.15 million, up from 1.10 million in 2004. The average all hay yield was 2.86 tons per acre, down 4 percent from last year. Alfalfa stands wintered well, but growth slowed in May due to cool conditions. First cuttings started in early June, but dry conditions
slowed regrowth. Rain in August advanced growth and helped newly seeded fields. Fourth cuttings were completed by November. Alfalfa accounted for 900,000 acres of the total harvested with a yield of 3.1 tons per acre. Other hay accounted for 250,000 acres with a yield of 2.0 tons per acre. Value of the hay crop was $290.4 million, down 5 percent from 2004.

Oats Oat acreage increased in Michigan during 2005. Growers
planted 90,000 acres of oats in 2005, compared with 80,000 the year before. Harvested acres, at 75,000, were up 10,000 from last year. The 2005 oat production was 4.58 million bushels, up 4 percent from the previous year. Yield, at 61 bushels per acre, was down 7 bushels from last year. Oat planting was completed early in May and progressed faster than the five-year average. At the beginning of May, 89 percent of the crop was planted, as compared with 63 percent on average. Emergence was slightly ahead of average. As of
June 26, oats were 76 percent headed, well ahead of normal. Warm temperatures during June increased crop growth. Harvest began in the middle of July and was completed by the middle of August, ahead of normal. Growers reported temperatures were above average for most of the State, and fields appeared to be very dry. For 2005, Sanilac county again ranked first in oat production, while Montcalm, Isabella, Shiawassee and Huron rounded out the top five counties.

Potatoes Michigan=s 2005 potato production was 13.92 million
hundredweight (cwt) up slightly from 13.65 million in 2004. Planted acres were 44,000 and harvested acres were 43,500. The State=s average yield was 320 cwt per acre, down from the 2004 yield of 325 cwt. Potato planting began in the middle of April. Growers faced varying levels of disease and insect pressure throughout the summer, while dry weather late in the growing season limited yields on non-irrigated land. Potato harvest began in late July and
progressed about on par with normal. Digging was wrapped up by the end of October.
For 2005, Michigan again ranked tenth among States for potato production. Most Michigan potatoes are whites, which comprised approximately 83 percent of planted acreage, followed by russets and reds at 15 and 2 percent of planted acreage, respectively. Whites are processed for potato chips or sold for table use, while russets are used for french fries and other frozen products.

Soybeans Michigan soybean production totaled 77.6 million bushels, up 3 percent from 2004. The yield was 39 bushels per acre in 2005. Planted acres remained unchanged from 2004. Harvested acres increased slightly from 1.98 million to 1.99. Soybean planting began early in mid-April but slowed due to low soil temperatures. A cool May slowed emergence with some frost damage. Growth varied by region into July. The southeast fields had bloomed, and the central regions were flowering, while growth was behind in the southwest. Growth lagged in drier areas and aphid problems were
reported in August. Molds, downy mildew, brown spot, spider mites, cyst nematode damage and aphids continued to be problems through September, though plants were reported by some to be taller than in previous seasons. In September dry conditions advanced growth rapidly and harvesting began in the early planted fields. Harvesting finished up in late October. Sanilac, Lenawee, Gratiot, Monroe, and Saginaw were the top five counties in soybean production.

Sugarbeets Acres planted to sugarbeets were estimated at 154,000 in 2005, down 11,000 acres from the previous year. Harvested acreage was estimated at 152,000, down from 163,000 in 2004. The yield of 21.3 tons per acre tied the record high, originally set in 1970. Production was down slightly, due to the decreased acreage. Planting was finished by early May. Damage was reported due to frost in May;
warm weather in June accelerated growth. Throughout the season, there were reports of Cercospora leaf spot. Warm weather conditions in early October prevented stockpiling. Once underway, harvest progressed at a near normal pace and finished by early November.

Wheat Michigan's 2005 winter wheat crop totaled 38.94 million
bushels, down 2.0 million bushels from 2004. Planted acres were down from 660,000 acres the previous year to 600,000. Harvested acreage was at 590,000 acres. The average yield was 66 bushels per acre. The value of the crop declined 1 percent to $123 million. Huron, Sanilac, Tuscola, Lenawee, and Saginaw were the top five counties in wheat production. Winter wheat emerged from dormancy in predominantly good condition. About average winter kill was reported, even though there was some concern early in the season due to ice and ponding on fields. Spring fertilizer applications were completed on par with normal. As of May 1, almost two-thirds of the crop was reported in good to excellent condition. The Michigan wheat crop continued to
progress nicely. Precipitation during much of May led to an increase in powdery mildew.
By July, winter wheat was turning yellow at a pace nearly 20 percent ahead of normal. There was evidence of head scab in some fields. Nearly 60 percent of the crop was reported in good to excellent condition. Fields harvested had a low incidence of disease across the State. Poor yields due to dry conditions in the northern region impacted the overall yield for the State. Harvest began the second week in July and was completed by the third week in August. At the beginning of August, 94 percent of the crop was harvested. Fields harvested had a low incidence of disease across the State. Hot and dry weather caused the plants to be shorter than previous years, but farmers reported that grain quality was good.

44 VEGETABLES MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS 2005-2006
Vegetables Michigan vegetable growers produced 887,560 tons of fresh and processed vegetables in 2005. Harvested acreage was 126,600, a 5 percent increase from 2004. Value of production totaled $216 million, down $15 million from last year. Nationally, Michigan ranked eighth and fifth, respectively, for fresh market and processing vegetable value of production. Michigan farmers produced 9.74 million hundredweight (cwt) of fresh market vegetables, an increase of 2 percent from 2004. Processing vegetable production totaled 400,460 tons, up 7 percent from last year. Vegetable planting activities had progressed steadily for much of the State by the first of May. Planting and transplanting
continued in May with warmer weather and light precipitation. By early summer, vegetable crops were growing rapidly; however, some crops were being stressed due to hot weather. Michigan ranked third among States for dual purpose asparagus production with 228,000 cwt produced, down 16 percent from last year’s 270,000 cwt. The crop progressed by the middle of May, but harvest was behind normal due to cool temperatures and severe labor shortages. At the beginning of June, harvest was producing light yields. High heat and lack of moisture during the middle of June caused many areas to have poor quality. Harvest wrapped up the fourth week in June.
