1 Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service. 2 Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of the commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector's
contribution to the National economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production, regardless of ownership. 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.

Growing Season Weather Summary Dr. Jeff Andresen, Michigan State University
The winter preceding the 2015 season was much colder than
normal. The mean temperature was 17.7°F, the 18th coldest on
record. With significant snow cover during most of the winter,
extreme low 2-inch soil temperatures bottomed out in the 30-32°F
range across most of the state. The winter was also drier than normal,
with a mean precipitation total of 4.01 inches. At the beginning of
March, soil moisture levels in the top 3 feet of the profile were below
normal across southern sections but were near or above normal levels
across central and northern sections.
Temperatures moderated by early April. Drier than normal
conditions continued during most of March and April. Some areas of
the state had 21 consecutive days without measureable precipitation
during April. The cool, dry weather was not conducive for spring
fieldwork. Above normal temperatures the last week of April and the
first week of May allowed rapid progress of fieldwork and
accelerated growth and development of overwintering crops. Much
of the corn crop was planted during the first two weeks of May;
emergence began during the 2nd week of the month. Scattered frost
and freezing temperatures were observed, mostly across northern and
interior central sections on the 12th-14th and on the 19th and 20th.
Besides a slowdown in the rates of germination and emergence, the
effects of the cold were minor.
Rainfall was persistent and occasionally heavy during the third
week of May and the second week of June, resulting in major
fieldwork delays and localized flooding in some northeastern and
southern portions of Lower Michigan. The wet weather changed soil
moisture conditions for many areas from too dry to abnormally wet.
Corn planting was generally completed in early June, but cool
temperatures continued to slow emergence and early vegetative
development. June precipitation totals ranged from less than 2.0"
(less than 75% of normal) across a few northern sections to more than
10.0" (greater than 300% of normal) across south central and
southeastern sections of Lower Michigan. June precipitation totals
across the southern three tiers of counties approached long term
records for the wettest June in some locations. Mean monthly
temperatures were 1-4°F below normal. The cool, wet conditions
stressed early vegetative growth of most spring-planted crops. There
was localized flooding, major difficulties with forage harvest,
lodging of winter grains, heavy weed and disease pressure, and
leaching of nitrogen.
During the second week of July warmer temperatures arrived. Late
July-early August had hot, dry weather, which accelerated crop
growth and development. July mean temperatures ranged from near
normal across northern sections to as much as 3°F below normal in
the extreme south. July precipitation totals ranged from less than 0.5"
across the northern Lower Peninsula (less than 25% of normal) to
more than 5.0" (more than 150% of normal) along the Indiana/Ohio
border. Given warmer temperatures late in the month and increasing
crop water use rates, as most crops advanced towards full canopy, soil
moisture levels fell rapidly in most areas. The corn crop generally
passed through critical tassel and pollination states during the last two
weeks of July and first week of August, just a few days behind
normal.
Late August through early September had unseasonably warm and
humid weather. The warm temperatures were helpful for late season
growth and development of crops. August mean temperatures ranged
from 1-3°F below normal across southern and western sections to 1-
3°F above normal across the north and east. August precipitation
totals ranged from less than 2.0" across northern sections of the Upper
Peninsula to more than 5.0" (greater than 150% of normal) in central
and eastern portions of Lower Michigan. At the end of August,
moisture deficits continued across the northern Upper and
northwestern Lower Peninsulas.
September mean temperatures ranged from 4°F above normal
across southern sections to 7°F above normal in the north.
Precipitation totals ranged from less than 3.0" across southern
sections of the Lower Michigan and the central Upper Peninsula to
more than 5.0" across the northwestern Lower Peninsulas
(approximately 50-150% of normal). The below normal humidity and
cloudiness was nearly ideal for crop maturation and grain dry down.
Cooler, more seasonable weather came in mid-October The first
freezing temperatures of the season in most central and southern
sections were on the 17th, 18th, and 19th. Over most of these areas,
the first freeze was at least one week later than normal. The milder
and drier than normal conditions during most of September and early
October favored fall fieldwork activities. Growing degree day totals
for the season surged to at least normal levels over all but central
sections; most locations ended the May through September growing
season 50-100 units above normal, roughly 5-10 days ahead of
normal.

Agricultural Statistics Districts
The State is divided into nine Agricultural Statistics Districts to
make data comparison easier. An Agricultural Statistics District is
a contiguous group of counties having relatively similar
agricultural characteristics. Each district has within it more
homogeneous agriculture than the State as a whole. They are
numbered from north to south and west to east.
