ANNUAL BULLETIN

MARYLAND

As a fellow farmer and Maryland Secretary of Agriculture, I know just how important the data provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is to our state’s farmers and agriculture industry. The 12,429 farms and 21,279 producers across the state rely heavily on the credible and accurate information that NASS provides. They use this information when making decisions on the future of their operations. Local, state, and federal legislators also use this data when shaping farm policy, evaluating programs, and allocating funding. Quality statistics help to analyze agricultural trends so that we can better serve our farmers and rural communities. Last year, the 2017 Census of Agriculture was published and provided a comprehensive view of agriculture around the country and right here in Maryland, down to the county-level. Census results showed that Maryland continues to be a leader in poultry, grains, and nursery, among others. Economically speaking, since the last census in 2012, Maryland agriculture has increased the value of production by 9% and increased per farm net income by nearly 36%. We continue to add producers and farmers, and the number of female producers increased to 8,148 – up nearly 33%. I want to take a moment to thank all of the farmers and producers that responded to the 2017 Census of Agriculture. Between planting season, harvest, and everything in between, filling out these surveys is not always on the top of our to-do lists, but thanks to your responses the agriculture community in Maryland, and around the country, are stronger and better represented.

Sincerely,

Joseph Bartenfelder Maryland Secretary of Agriculture

I would like to formally introduce myself to the Maryland Agricultural community. My name is Shareefah Williams, and I am the State Statistician for the state of Maryland. As State Statistician I’m responsible for community outreach working with the State Departments of Agriculture, the Maryland academic community, serving farmers, data users, and the agriculture community. I eagerly await to work with new people, learn new skills, forge new relationships and serves this resilient community that feeds the world.

We are pleased to present the 2018 edition of the Agriculture in Maryland Summary. This publication represents the collaborative efforts of Maryland farmers that voluntarily completed our surveys throughout the past year, and the Maryland Department of Agriculture (MDA). The content in this publication covers a wide range of agricultural statistics related to crop production, livestock, poultry, and economic information within the state of Maryland.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) mission is to provide timely, accurate, useful statistics in service to U.S. agriculture. The statistics in this publication will be used to administer and help support USDA farm programs, to determine the feasibility of new ventures, to aid research and development projects throughout the state.

A special thanks to our partners at the University of Maryland Extension, our federal partners at the local Farm Service Agency and Natural Resources Conservation Service, and all the dedicated employees at the MDA. Finally, I would like to thank the Maryland farmers and our field and office enumerators, for their perseverance and skill in collecting survey data throughout the year.

Please visit our website to view this publication and other reports. If you would like additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us by email, telephone or personal visit. Your comments regarding our programs and publications are welcomed. I look forward to serving the agricultural community in the coming years.

1 Many significant changes were made to the vegetable estimating program beginning in 2016. For additional details, including data for fresh and processing production and previous years data, please reference the Vegetables Annual Summary at www.nass.usda.gov

2 Beginning in 2016, Total Production and Utilized Production were estimated for each crop. In previous years, estimates were made for Production, which represented the portion of the crop that was harvested and sold. This most closely represents the UtilizedProduction in the current report and can be used for comparison.

3 Beginning in 2016, Harvested Not Sold estimates were added to the estimating program. This represents the difference between Total Production (the amount of the crop harvested from the field) and Utilized Production (the amount of the crop that was sold).

1 Many significant changes were made to the vegetable estimating program beginning in 2016. For additional details, including datafor fresh and processing production and previous years data, please reference the Vegetables Annual Summary at www.nass.usda.gov

2 Beginning in 2016, Total Production and Utilized Production were estimated for each crop. In previous years, estimates were made for Production, which represented the portion of the crop that was harvested and sold. This most closely represents the Utilized Production in the current report and can be used for comparison.

3 Beginning in 2016, Harvested Not Sold estimates were added to the estimating program. This represents the difference between Total Production (the amount of the crop harvested from the field) and Utilized Production (the amount of the crop that was sold).
