This issue of the New England Agricultural Statistics 2015 contains the most accurate, reliable, and unbiased information on the crop, livestock, and other agricultural products for each of the six New England States.
This publication satisfies the growing need for accurate, reliable, and unbiased information and data. The data comes from farmers, agricultural businesses, County Extensions, and other USDA agencies from across the New England States.
The data is used to provide facts to decision makers that determine the future of agriculture in their State. The goal for this publication remains unchanged. That goal is to provide the public with data to help them understand the current situation of agriculture within each of the New England States and in the region as a whole.
I wish to thank the thousands of farm operators across the region who participated in the surveys we conducted throughout the year. We understand the time commitment needed to complete these questionnaires and fully appreciate your effort. We strive to assure all your individual reports and business data are held in the strictest confidence. You are the heart and soul of our program, for without your cooperation, the rest of the story could not be accurately written.
Sincerely,

FRESH MARKET PRICE AND YIELD DATA
VEGETABLES AND FRUIT
USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), New
England Field Office collects, analyzes, and estimates fruit and
vegetable prices and yields at the request of USDA Farm Service
Agency (FSA). Funding was provided by the State Departments
of Agriculture in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The data provide a
valuable tool for growers to use in making production and
marketing decisions and for FSA to administer farm programs
based on State yield and price data. It is also used by Cooperative
Extension to provide outreach and education and it is used by the
State Departments of Agriculture to assist growers.

1 Honey producing colonies are the maximum number of colonies from which honey was taken during the year. It is possible to take honey
from colonies which did not survive the entire year. 2 Stocks held by producers. 3 Average price per pound based on expanded sales. 4 Value of production is equal to production multiplied by average price per pound. 5 Alaska, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and South
Carolina not published separately to avoid disclosing data for individual operations. 6 Due to rounding, total colonies multiplied by total yield may not exactly equal production.
