DEFINITIONS
Rarely is it possible to indicate the total money value
of any specific group of agricultural crops on a comparable
basis with another group of crops. In other words, the level
at which agricultural commodities are traded varies with the
particular items as well as the particular areas in which the
trading takes place. At the present there is no common denomi-
nator for the tabulation of all agricultural products. For
example, the total value of sweet potatoes is figured on an
F.O.B. basis, minus selling charges in Florida, Louisiana, and
California, while in New Jersey and the Carolinas, they are
calculated on a price paid at the farm. This is due to the
different level of trading in these states.
Since there is no feasible method for calculating agri-
cultural products to the same common denominator, various methods
based on economic principle of expressing the money value of
production, sales and income-- have been accepted by the
U.S. Department of Agriculture. Definitions generally used
throughout this report follow:
Value of production is computed by applying the season
average prce received by growers for quantities sold from a
particular crop or during the marketing season, depending on
the commodity, to the total quantities produced. Similarly,
the value of sales is the unit price applied to the quantity
sold from a particular crop or during the marketing .eason,
depending on the commodity.
Gross Incomet ivRealized gross farm income includes (a)
cash receipts from farm marketing, (b) value of farm products
consumed in farm households, (c) rental value of farm dwellings
and (d) government payments to farmers. Total gross income is
the realized gross income plus or minus the value of the net
change in farm inventories of crops and livestock.
Cash receipts from farm marketing consist of total
money received from the sale of farm products, together with the
net receipts from Commodity Credit Corporation loans.
Farm Value, as applied to crops in the various tables,
is derived by multiplying production by the estimated season
average price received by farmers for that portion of the commodity
actually sold. The term is used in the inventory tables on live-
stock and poultry to mean value of the number of head on farms
on January 1. It is derived by multiplying the number of head
by an estimated value per head as of that date.
F.O.B. Value All prices used on truck crops are on
an F.O.B. basis or its equivalent, less selling charges. In
the case of some commodities which are sold in unitsaother than
the one listed, these units are converted into the equivalent
of the ones used.
Up until this year citrus was shown on an T.O.B. basis in
this report, the fresh was tabulated on an T.O.B. basis and the
processed was shown as delivered to the packing house door. This
procedure was mainly used as a carryover when sales prior to 1946
were sold primarily through fresh market channels. In the past,
showing citrus on an T.O.B. basis made it omoparable to the value
of truck crops. As methods of citrus disposition have changed, it
has been necessary to change values to indicate all methods of sales
at the first level of trading packing house door level, all season
inclusive. We have initiated this in order that our figures fall in
line with the suggested procedure accepted for use by the U.S.D.A.
which is as follows
Citrus price terminology: Average prices as sold refer to
the average prices actually received by growers in the local market
at the point Where the fruit changes ownership. In general, fruit
may be sold f.o.b. packed by growers, at the incoming packing house
door, or on the tree. If sales are made through grower cooperatives,
it is considered that the first sale is made by the cooperative.
However, in order to keep all prices on a local market basis,
sales by individual growers and grower-cooperatives at terminal auc-
tions and other distant points are priced on an equivalent f.o.b.
shipping-point basis. F.O.B. citrus prices refer to the prices re-
oeived by grower-packer of grower cooperatives for the fruit sold
packed, with the price including costs or grading,_packing, oon-
tainers, and selling expenses. When adjustments are made in actual
average prices as sold in order that these prices will apply to
some sales position other than the position at which the sale was
made, the results are referred to as "equivalent per unit returns".
Equivalent per unit returns for citrus are calculated at
two points of sale
(1) Equivalent packing-house door returns refer to all
fruit, regardless of the method of sale, converted to a price which
it would have returned had the entire crop been sold at the incoming
packing house door
(2) Eouivalent on tree returns refer to all fruit similar-
ly converted to t he price it would have returned had the entire crop
been sold on the tree.
In arriving at equivalent per unit returns, costs are added to
or subtracted from prices of fruit as actually sold in order to obtain
returns to growers at one of the two specified points in the marketing
process. For example, in order to obtain equivalent packing house
door returns for Florida oranges (1) the average rice for fruit
actually sold f.o.b. packed is reduced by the charge for grading,
packing, containers, etc; (2) the average price for fruit actually
sold on the tree is increased by the cost of picking and hauling to
the packing house door; and (3) the season returns so derived are
then combined with the reported price for the quantity, if any,
actually sold in bulk at the incoming packing house door by weighing
the equivalent returns for each method of sale in proportion to the
volume actually sold at each point.

Foreword
The greater proportion of the Bureau's market news reports are issued
daily; other reports are released semi-weekly, semi-monthly, annually and
biennially. The Annual Fruit and Vegetable Report is perennial in that the
duty is repeated every year, but it never "comes up" without an increased
amount of thought and labor being exerted in its preparation.
The Annual Fruit and Vegetable Report for the 1955-56 season is the
thirty-eighth annual report prepared by the Bureau. In number of pages it is
about thirty-eight times the size of the first annual report.
The casual observer might take a "phooey" attitude on glancing at the
statistical tables of the report and exclaim "What good are they anyway?"
This is the day and age of figures, reports, records -- appraisal, cost, profit
data. Aside from individual grower-shipper use of the data as planting and
marketing guide, such impartial, official statistics are invaluable in studies
made and hearings held relating to marketing agreements, drainage or flood
control projects, transportation and broadly the entire field of production
and marketing. When information such as the Bureau's Annual Fruit and Veg-
etable Report contains is "acceptable to both sides" in adjusting disputes,
claims and cases, that is about the best proof of fairness, authenticity and
accuracy being followed meticulously in its compilation. Such usage of our
reports has been gratifying and inspiring.
The picture of Florida agricultural production shown in our first annual
report prior to the Twenties compared to the panoramic view given in this
report for the 1955-56 season illustrates the increase in volume of the major
crops produced, the expansion in the principal lines of agricultural endeavor
and the far greater number of crops. With the blanket sprawl of Florida
agriculture has come the spread of production across the calendar instead of
over certain seasons.
Florida dairymen, poultrymen and livestockmen have full-year production.
From the end of shipments of late-variety citrus to the beginning of early
fruit movement has become much shorter in time, with processed citrus filling
in the gap,--not to mention other production as limes, mangoes, avocados, etc.
From harvest time of early fall vegetables to that of late spring-early sutmer
truck crops red letters better than two-thirds of the twelve months. Field
crop production included, practically every month can be underscored for
Florida agriculture.
So this report Production, Transportation and Marketing Analysis for
1955-56 substantiates by a near-endless array of statistics that Florida
agriculture is gaining in size, in diversity of products grown and in the
number of months in which they are produced and marketed: More volume of more
crops of more months.
Our Market News Specialist, Mr. Elmo F. Scarborough, has prepared a ready-
reference index for guiding you through the pages following, "cr-:: to the
brim" with information compiled by him and Associate Specialists of the Florida
State Marketing Bureau. May the report be as useful and profitable as our
efforts to make it so have been painstaking.

ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICAL SUMMARY
By: Elmo F. Scarborough, Market News Specialist
SUMMARY REVIEW
News Release
Florida's value of agricultural production is estimated to be $700,238,000 for the
1955-56 season as contrasted to the previous record of $647,764,000 in 195h-55. This is
a noteworthy gain of 8 percent, or 448,000,000, Citrus valued at $244,000,000 accounted
for much of the increase and was 25 percent greater than that of the previous year.
Other segments of the State's agricultural industry, which are expected to show higher
money values, are the 1956 Livestock, Dairy Products, Poultry and Eggs, and Horticul-
tural Specialty Crops. The 1955-56 Truck Crop values are down only slightly in spite of
the frost damage to crops in early January 1956 which reached as far south as Homestead.
Field Crops, Other Fruits and Edible Nuts, and Forest and Miscellaneous Products are
down slightly in total money values. (Citrus and Truck Crop values are for the produc-
tion season, August through July, while other commodity values are for the calendar
year.)
CITRUS
Citrus showed a crop value in 1955-56 season of $2l4,000,000 from an amazing
133,000,000 boxes compared to the 1954-55 season of $195,000,000 from 128,000,000 boxes.
This was the second time that citrus topped the 130,000,000-box mark. The first time
was in 1953-54, when there were 136,000,000 boxes. This past year, processor utiliza-
tion accounted for 64 percent of the crop, with the remaining 36 percent moving through
fresh channels. Exports of oranges to Western Europe were up sharply the latter part of
the citrus season as a result of the destruction of the Spanish Valencia crop by freez-
ing weather in February. Western Europe offers a potential Florida citrus export outlet
for both fresh and processed during the next several years.
TRUCK CROPS
Truck Crops vegetables, melons, and strawberries were valued at $187,000,000 in
1955-56 compared to $190,000,000 in 1954-55. The price received by growers for most
crops was generally satisfactory. There were specific crops such as celery for which
prices were at or below production cost for the greater part of the season. In 1955-56
there were some 412,400 acres of truck crops harvested. A total of 155,000 carlot
equivalents was shipped to points along the Eastern Seaboard, South and Midwest, and a
few to the mountain states and far West. Some 12,000 carlot equivalents were used with-
in the State. Ten years ago Florida growers harvested 275,600 acres of the same crops,
shipped 77,000 carlot equivalents to points outside the State, and consumed some 9,800
carlot equivalents at home.
TRANSPORTATION
The transportation industry is the largest service organization affecting agri-
culture in the State. Rail and truck are equally important forms of transportation for
fruits and vegetables along with boat to a limited extent. Air, rail, and truck serve
the-State's cut flower, potted plant, greenery and nursery businesses. Trucks are the
primary mode used for bringing eggs into Florida as well as for hauling Florida eggs
about the State. Meat and frozen foods move by both rail and truck. Dairy Products are
carried mainly by truck. Farm field crops, due to the short length of their hauls, are
generally marketed by truck. We leave the question of which type of transportation is
most advantageous to you and to the commercial transportation agents.
Page 2
Due to the importance of transportation regarding the fruit and vegetable industry,
and because of trade requests for rail, boat and truck shipments, we have prepared a
number of tables in this summary covering these items.
THE JANUARY FROSTS OF 1956
One aftermath of last January's frosts was a sensational newspaper headline which
read "Freeze Damage to Florida Vegetables Amounts to $50 million." (Incidentally, the
total truck crop money value for January and February 1955 was approximately $50 million,
which was a period of heavy shipment and good prices.)
The first appearance of frost damaged fields is always disheartening but here is
something to consider too. The general growth performance of the different types of
vegetables under varying weather influence is known for individual sections of the
State, Planting experiences over a number of years indicate to growers the usual risk
they must face for particular crops. The phenomenon of nature to revive plants back in-
to production after injury is amazing. An example of a plant that is tender yet takes a
little frost burning is the pepper. Last year the first grower observation reported
peppers frozen almost to the ground, practically a total loss. Yet these same plants
ultimately came back into bearing and reportedly produced about average yields.
Severaldays at least are required after a frost or a freeze in which to evaluate
as accurately as possible the extent of the damage. The crop resiliency can be affected
strongly by the prevailing weather during the few days following a frost or freeze. A
comparison of shipments for January and February 1956 with those of the same period in
1955 shows that for tender crops there was only a 31 percent decline over that of the
previous year. The two following tables illustrate this.

The history of past freezes in Florida producing sections indicates that it is best to
discount the damage that is first apparent by at least 10-25%. Squash and cucumbers are
exceptions to this "rule of thumb" in that they are especially susceptible to cold.
Page 3A FLORIDA AGRICULTURE
Is the growth of industries such as citrus, truck crops, avocados, livestock, dairy
products, poultry and eggs, and horticultural specialties real or qualified to the ex-
tent of growth; i.e., are these facets of agriculture firmly established enterprises
with a progressive outlook, or are these segments of agriculture caught in a price-cost
squeeze which cast shadows on the uncertain future horizon? .Let us briefly review the
situation.
Fifty years ago the outlook for Florida agriculture did not show the potential it
does today. Peoples' incomes then were low and the demand was for cereals and other
starchy foods. Today, the average income is much higher and the per capital consumption
figures indicate sharp changes toward the use of animal meats, vegetables and fruits,
Vegetable growers in the State have noted an increase of 160 percent in the shipment of
Fall, Winter and Spring crops in just the past ten years.
"Domestic* agricultural demand may expand further but at a slower pace than since
the recent years. Higher consumer income is indicated by prospects for high-level
employment, full-work week and a rising trend in wage rates. However, any consumer
expenditures for food, as in other recent years, may go largely for services related to
the processing and marketing of food and not show up as increased demand for products at
the farm.
"A"factor stressed by some economists is the increasing proportion of the popula-
tion which has graduated to the middle and upper income brackets. This would result in
a reduced response in the demand for agricultural commodities due to changes in income.
In other words, after some fairly comfortable' income level is achieved, a family may
be purchasing about all the food it wants. Additional expenditures for food as the in-
come of such families rises tend to be for the purchase of additional services rather
than additional quantities of agricultural commodities; for example, eating out. There
is considerable room of course for further upgrading of diets of many families,
especially those in the lower income brackets This is an important factor in the
relatively favorable long-term outlook for livestock products, vegetables and fruits as
compared with cereals and other starchy foods."
The overall food consumption picture shows that the greatest increase has been made
in beef, broilers, pro essed fruit and vegetable products, and a greater use of the
wider variety of fresh vegetables. Although the per capital consumption of fresh citrus
and vegetables has not kept pace with the sharp and sustained rise in the birth rate, add-
ing 25 million new citizens in the last decade, there has been nevertheless a substantial
overall increased production of citrus and vegetables. The strength of Florida agri-
culture lies in how well the producer grows and markets his crops and how well the
farmers work together in marketing. Technological development has increased production
through higher yields per acre and have increased man's ability to handle larger acreages
with new types of farm machinery. In many instances production methods'have crept ahead
of market outlets. We need to modernize the farming phrase "Freedom and Independence" to
agree with the change of simple to complex farm living. Agriculture is actually a
business of concern to everyone with special stress laid upon farmers and the processors
who prepare and market foods, upon manufacturers of farm products from overall to tractor;
upon feed, fertilizer, seed and transportation firms; and on the individual citizen who
consumes an average annual per capital quantity of around 1500 pounds of foodstuffs. Fifty
years ago it would have been a joke for a farmer to buy milk and butter at the grocery
store. Today, it is not uncommon for him to purchase these items, even in the midwestern
farming belt.
"The** Government long ago realized that farmers were at a great disadvantage when
it came to adjusting supplies as compared to industry. Industry can go through a change-
over period or even shut down on short notice, but the farmer must plant long before he
can harvest, his volume is affected by unpredictable weather, he has little means to
achieve concerted action, and where he has it, he doesn't often use it.
"Realizing these disadvantages, the Government for many years now has supplied agri-
culture with many types of services and reports. First, there were crop reports, then
the market reports, then the standardization work dealing with grades and inspection, then
the Perishable AgriculturalCommodities.Ac.tin Fruits and Vegetables has insured growers of
obtaining honest returns for his produce at the market. It has encouraged cooperative
marketing. It has made the use of marketing agreements available. And more recently,
Outlook and Acreage Guide reports have been issued. All of these measures have been
taken with the view to helping agriculture help itself. The fact that these measures
Page 3B
have met with limited success does not nean that they cannot be used with greater success.
The most logical place to look for this success is in the enlightened teamwork between
the producers and the businesses which are related to depend upon one another."
Citrus is the only segment of Florida's agriculture which has a complete marketing
program as we know it today. Citrus growers regulate the size and quality of fresh fruit
for the market through a Marketing Agreement, which affects quantity moving to fresh out-
lets to insure a reasonable profit for the fruit. Processing, which has oeen a very
stabilizing marketing influence for many agricultural products, is a v-ry active part of
the citrus industry. Growers, through a per box assessment, finance research to improve
present products and seek new uses for citrus as well as carry on a million dollar
advertising and promotion program. This group uses Federal and State production and
marketing information to the fullest. The goal of all this is efficient marketing.
Other than citrus, many of the farmers in the State belong to agricultural organiza-
tions or associations. The progressive groups are well organized with very capable
personnel. The services that are performed for the growers are very worthwhile and
meaningful. However, these groups were not set up to carry on as complete marketing
agents or regulate the particular industry they serve. Still, there are many individual
farmers who are isolated and not a part of any group.
In the last several years there has been a trend toward teamwork in marketing,
indicated by the concerted effort for marketing agreement studies. The avocado and l-me
growers voted in a marketing a agreement which has been operating for about two years. The
tomato growers operated a marketing agreement program during the 1955-56 season, and are
continuing it this season. Also, the cucumber and watermelon growers have had pre-
liminary marketing agreement hearings on their respective crops, These agreements alone
are not the full answer to marketing problems. However, the discussions, the statistical
studies, and the research in marketing that accompanies them seems to alert the growers
and shippers to all the problems which exist for a particular commodity. Some sources
say it takes at least three years to develop a well rounded marketing agreement program
and have effective teamwork between all members of the industry.
The Poultry and Egg industry, which contains many small producers, is making a
unique study. An Interim Committee, represented by six producers, and six legislative
members three Senators and three House members, are studying the ills of this group in
all sections of the State. This may become the first step in an effective teamwork
program for these many small producers.
The shifting marketing patterns have proved of overall benefit to the growth of the
State's fruit and vegetable industry as well as for its horticultural specialties,
broilers and better quality livestock enterprises. Florida agricultural conaodities, for
which there is not an interstate demand, such as dairy products, and poultry and eggs,
are finding potential outlets within the State itself. Whether marketing progresses or
retrogresses, depends on the farmer's ability to schedule and adjust crop planting and
livestock breeding programs to adequately fill market requirements. Greater "Freedom and
Independence" have always been achieved through cooperation than by an individual working
alone.
Each year in this Annual Report we try to bring to your attention the increase of
Florida agricultural production and the money value and points of interest during the
previous season. There have been many historical noteworthy gains about which to boast.
A review of the last ten years-shows that most phases of agriculture, with the exception
of field crops, have made phenomenal strides, while for a twenty-year period it's almost
unbelievable.

SOME PHASES OF FLORIDA'S ECONOMY
The table below was devised to give some indication of thp Orowth of Florida tourism, agriculture and industry, the three major sources
of income of Floridians. Eaoh of these three segments of the %.tat.e'Qss onomy originates, directly or indirectly, approximately one-third of
the personal income of ihe people of the state other than government payments. Tourism, according to the only available estimates, is re-
sponsible for slightly more than a third and industry and agriculture, make up virtually all of the balance in approximately equal proportions,
but varying with the years. Mining and fishing are other, but lesser, original sources of income.
Such essential and intermediary activities as communication, transportation, construction, wholesale and retail trade, finance, service
trades and real estate, as well as defense spending, spring from and contribute to the basic sources of income. A breakdown by sources is not
available. These comments are made for clarification and after consultation with economists. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY T-FUOE CC6L TEAmC G
T22TIBLE.

ai Estimated. We have a record of truck shipments of field peas, greens and radishes, We have a record of avocado and mango truck shipment
volume, and also of avocado production, The 1954 census gives us some bench work data on the above as well as information for the first time
on miscellaneous fruits such as bananas, coconuts, figs, grapes, guava, papayas, pears, persimmons, plnms and prunes.
b Spring pickles for processing.
o/ Avocado data based on 1956 season. Due to the quantity of Cuba avocados consumed in Florida certain adj.ustents were made to the west Indies
import data which do not reflect in the State avocado total carlot figure.

LONG RANGE OUTLOOK
The long-term Mediterranean citrus orop outlook has been re-
vised in table to the right taking into consideration the freeze
damage in Spain. In the 1953-54 season, the six countries which
supply Western Europe with oranges produced a total of 91.9
million boxes. Considering the freeze damage in Spain and the
increases in production which may be expected in Italy, Israel,
and North Africa, the 1960-61 potential of these countries is now
estimated at 117 million boxes. This is 23 million boxes less
than the 1960-61 potential estimated prior to the 1956 freeze in
Spain 1/. The Spanish potential for 1960-61 has been reduced
frc 65 million boxes to 41.5 million boxes.
These data are only an attempt to express the effect on
production of new plantings coming into bearing. They assume
normal weather conditions.
Because of the Spanish freeze, the long-range outlook is more
favorable for the United States citrus industry than in the fall
of 1955.

NOTE The above truck rates are the approximate average per standard box paying prioe of a large
shipping firm. Citrus truck rates reportedly fluctuate somewhat during the season. Truck Refrigera-
tion: Most trucks are equipped with ice bunkers with capacity of 1800 to 2000 pounds. As a rule,
however, ice is only used on the first and last season shipments. Truck Refrigeration rates to points
East of the Mississippi and South of the Ohio and Potomac Rivers 50 per box, while to points beyond
it is 71 per box.

The unofficial acreage, production and value estimates were made by the Market News Specialist,
of the Florida State Marketing Bureau. Having made these estimates, some without enough basic data
on which to make as good an estimate as we desire, we hope no one disagrees with us about them unless
they have data which could help us with estimates next year. These estimates are made in order to
complete the acreage, yield, production and value picture. We have always tried to do that even if
rough estimates are necessary.

This item is marketed principally in the South. The table of Truck Destinations in this book will
aid in the further study of distribution. Field peas are transported to the market primarily by trucks.
Therefore truck shipments represent a very high percentage of the volume shipped out of Florida. In
recent ,rears there has been r some marketed through frozen food channels. Fresh field peas in
Jacksonville have been marketed by sellers in an increased volume during recent years.
