Louisiana Field Office Staff

The support and cooperation of Louisiana’s farmers, ranchers and

agribusinesses are the foundation for accurate and reliable agricultural

statistics. The entire staff of the National Agricultural Statistics

Service’s Louisiana Field Office, along with the enumerators of the

National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA)

who collect the data, would like to express our great appreciation to the

many individuals and operations that provided the survey data to make

this publication and the estimates it contains possible.

The 2009 Louisiana Agricultural Statistics bulletin provides a wealth of

economic, crop, livestock and weather data for the state as a whole.

Additionally, for major commodities, the bulletin provides parish level

estimates for the years 2005-2009. The historical section of the

bulletin, published every five years, contains state level statistics dating

as far back as 1866.

Funding for the publication of 2009 Louisiana Agricultural Statistics

was provided by the Louisiana State University Department of

Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness.

Message from Commissioner Strain

The Louisiana agriculture and

forestry industry, valued at more than $8.3

billion, remains one of the largest

economic drivers of the state. The number

is impressive but it is the lowest value of

Louisiana’s agricultural economy since

2002.

Poultry and forestry, the state’s

two largest agricultural industries,

declined 25 percent in value, and row crop

farmers suffered from lingering

devastation caused by hurricanes Gustav

and Ike and an extremely wet 2009 harvest

season. Stress on agriculture will

continue, not only from Mother Nature,

but also from societal pressure.

Sociologists expect the United

States population to grow by more than

100 million in the next 30 years. The

population increase will result in less

available land for agriculture but a great

need for food, fiber and bioenergy. The

average age of today’s farmer is 57 and

new farming families are adding only nine

percent to the gross farm economy.

Still, I am confident that our

nation’s farmers, foresters and ranchers

will meet the challenge. More importantly

for Louisiana, I believe our producers and

agribusinesses are in a unique position to

capitalize on these growing needs. About

60 percent of the nation’s grain exports

pass through south Louisiana ports. The

Mississippi River port system is the

world’s largest in tonnage. Louisiana is

blessed with a long growing season,

abundant resources and proximity to ports,

rail and interstate transportation systems.

Total expenses for farming

families are expected to remain static for

the next year but farm commodity prices

are expected to rise. All wealth is based

on agriculture. With a lot of hard work and

a little luck, the Louisiana farmer, forester

and rancher will persevere and ultimately

thrive.

I will continue to advocate for the

preservation of a strong agricultural base

in Louisiana and our nation. Indeed, the

preservation of our farm economy is not

only a matter of economic development

but also our national security. Ultimately, I

believe the American food, fiber and

forestry producer will prevail.

Sincerely,

Mike Strain, DVM

Commissioner

The USDA-National Agricultural Statistics Service, Louisiana Field Office publishes the

Louisiana Agricultural Statistics bulletin through cooperative agreements between the USDA -

National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Louisiana Field Office and the Louisiana Department of

Agriculture and Forestry. Louisiana State University AgCenter and Extension Service and

Southern University Extension have provided tremendous assistance in compiling data within this

report. Enclosed in this publication are parish and state level estimates for specified agricultural

commodities in this state along with revisions to parish level data from our 2007 Census of

Agriculture.

Unlike in 2008 when hurricanes Gustav and Ike ripped through the state devastating crops, the

2009 crop year was virtually weather event-free except for some dry weather early in the growing

season. Most crops progressed well during the 2009 growing season aided by some irrigation

where dry field conditions made it necessary for crop development. Late season rains hampered

harvest of late season crops especially soybeans.

Rice producers were able to get most of their ratoon crop harvested, setting a record high yield,

while the sweet potato crop was virtually destroyed again by very wet and often times flooded

fields. This is at least the second crop in consecutive years that the sweet potato crop has been

almost destroyed by weather conditions. Corn producers had an above average year with yield

and prices improving from last year. Sugarcane producers had a somewhat normal year with crop

condition slightly above normal up until the wet harvest period and prices were holding steady.

Pecan production was considerably less going into their off-year while rebounding from the

storms of 2008.

We thank all Louisianans who have participated in the March, June, September, December

Agricultural Surveys, Monthly Crop Yield surveys, January and July Cattle Surveys, Cotton

Objective Yield Survey, January and July Sheep and Goat Surveys along with a number of other

surveys conducted on an annual basis. Producers were under tremendous amount of stress

making decisions on whether or not to plant crops or which crops to plant depending on land

conditions and crop prices. USDA-NASS, Louisiana Field Office was able to provide valuable

information to producers during critical decision-making periods because of your cooperation on

the annual and monthly surveys that are conducted by this office.

Data included in this publication represent numerous agricultural, and economic surveys

completed by a multitude of Louisiana producers over the years. Without the cooperation of

agricultural producers, agri-business and private industry these data series would not be possible.

Thank you again for your participation.

The Louisiana Field Office is a state office within the National Agricultural Statistics Service

which is the agency charged with providing agricultural statistics for the United States

Department of Agriculture.

Weather Review: Louisiana, 2009

Louisiana's weather highlights for 2009 featured drought, heavy rainfall and tornadoes. Statewide, annual temperature

averaged 66.8° F, slightly below normal. Louisiana experienced a wetter-than-normal year with the annual rainfall totaling

65.09 inches, five inches above normal. Rains created a feast or famine setting for the state, with excesses in rain counter-

balanced with extended periods of drought.

January: The year opened with warm weather. On the 3rd, heavy rainfall pounded southeastern parishes and one tornado was

reported. The second week was mild, but then the coldest weather of the season arrived on the 16th when temperatures dipped

to near 20° in northern parishes and near 30° along the coast. Overall, this turned out to be a dry month.

February: The month began with drought problems beginning to add up across the state. There were some meaningful rains

in week two which coincided with some very warm temperatures. However, the month had several other frontal passages that

produced little to no rainfall. By month’s end, part of the state was in moderate drought according the U.S. Drought Monitor.

March: March opened up with arid conditions, furthering drought problems. From 12-15 March, a quasi-stationary front

hung over Louisiana bringing much needed rainfall and drought-relief. After some delightful spring weather in week three,

severe weather ended the week. Numerous tornadoes touched down in Louisiana from 24-27 March, with additional tornadoes

on the 31st, capping off a busy weather month.

April: Early April continued the pattern of severe weather with additional tornado and high wind reports. There was a

tornado documented on the 2nd and eight tornadoes were reported on the 9th. In Caddo Parish, 10-15 rail cars were blown off

their tracks by high winds. The 17th and 18th experienced heavy rainfall, especially in southwestern parishes. The month

ended with more isolated severe weather in the form of damaging winds.

May: The month opened with unsettled weather bringing scattered thunderstorms and hail. On the 11th, heavy rainfall

impacted northern parishes, and a tornado was documented on the 14th in Calcasieu Parish. The latter half of May brought

relatively cool and dry conditions to the state.

June: There were some limited rains early in June which pretty much ended on the 4th. For the remainder of the month

rainfall was sparse, and temperatures occasionally became dangerously high. From 25-28 June, several locations within the

state had temperatures exceeding 100° F. Drought conditions also took hold in southern parishes.

July: July provided some drought relief, as more typical summer-time conditions returned to the state. The month saw weak

frontal passages and scattered afternoon thunderstorms. There were some instances of isolated heavy rainfall, as on the 7th,

when several locations in southwestern parishes recorded rainfall amounts of near four inches, and in some cases more. On the

28th in northern parishes several stations exceeded three inches of rainfall. Overall, it was a good month for drought relief.

August: The month opened with typical summer-like conditions with scattered thunderstorms. This quickly gave way to

more arid conditions, raising fears of drought. The first of two tropical storm threats occurred mid-month, with Tropical

Storm Claudette making landfall near Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. The latter half of the month was a transition into fall-like

conditions with frontal passages and cooler and less humid air masses.

September: September began cool and dry, but several stubborn fronts parked over the state during the latter three weeks of

month, bringing beneficial rains. By month’s end, the drought was on the ropes.

October: The rains came…and then came again. Numerous fronts stalled over the state, and it rained profusely. In several

instances, regions around the state experienced very heavy rainfall of four inches or more. By month’s end, the state averaged

13.8 inches, marking the wettest October on record for Louisiana, with record keeping dating back to 1895. There were also

two tornado outbreaks, whereby 11 were reported on the 22nd and 12 on the 29th.

November: After a very wet October, November was a month of drying out. On the 9th, Tropical Storm Ida did provide

some excitement to the state, but the storm eventually made landfall near Mobile, Alabama. This storm’s maximum storm

surge, however, was recorded at 5.5 feet at Shell Beach, Louisiana in St. Bernard Parish. Overall, November was a dry month.

December: The month began with a major snow event on the 4th. Two to three inches were documented just north of the I-

10/I-12 corridor. By the 12th, heavy rains began pounding southeastern parishes, and the rains were relentless throughout the

rest of the month. By month’s end, the New Orleans International Airport recorded over 25 inches of rainfall, setting an all-

time monthly rainfall accumulation record. There were tornadoes reported on the 14th in Jefferson Parish, and 16 tornadoes

were reported on the 23rd and 24th. The state ended up averaging over 10 inches of rain, making December 2009 the 5th wettest

December on record.

Soil Moisture Supply

Very Short Short Adequate Surplus

Louisiana Crop Weather, 2009

Soil moisture supply measures how much moisture is present in cropland top soil during the week. Soil moisture is

reported as a percentage. The categories very short, short, adequate and surplus must add up to 100%.

Very Short - Soil moisture supplies are significantly less than required for normal plant development. Growth would be

stopped, or nearly so, and plants would be showing visible signs of moisture stress. Under these conditions, plants would

quickly suffer irreparable damage.

Short - Soil dry. Seed germination and/or normal crop growth and development would be curtailed.

Adequate - Soil moist. Seed germination and/or crop growth and development would be normal or unhindered.

Surplus - Soil wet. Fields might be muddy and would generally be unable to absorb additional moisture. Young

developing crops might be yellowing from excess moisture.

Days suitable for fieldwork measures how many days during the week were “ones where weather and field conditions

allowed producers to work in fields for the majority of the day”.

Louisiana Timber Production and Resources Overview*

Louisiana’s forest lands cover 14 million acres -- about 50 percent of the state’s land area -- the state’s

single greatest land use. Fifty-nine of the state’s 64 parishes contain land capable of producing

sufficient timber to support forest-industry activities as well as provide wildlife habitat, recreational

opportunity, scenic beauty and other environmental benefits. There are 148,000 owners of Louisiana

forest land. Private, non-industrial landowners own 81 percent of the state’s forest land; forest-products

industries own ten percent and the public owns nine percent. In 2009, forestry accounted for 53 percent

of the gross farm value of all plant commodities grown in Louisiana. Forestry contributes 35 percent of

the gross farm value of Louisiana’s combined plant and animal agricultural commodities.

2009 Louisiana Agricultural Statistics – Historical Section

70

HISTORICAL SECTION

Demand for data – particularly time series data – continues to increase. The most recent

bulletin edition recapping historical Louisiana agricultural statistics was published in

2005, covering the period 1866 - 2004. To meet the needs of our data users, the

Louisiana Field Office, with the support of the Louisiana State University Department of

Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, has incorporated historical data into this

annual statistics bulletin. The data in this section represent the complete existing data

series for each of the commodities included. Commodities for which the data series

ended prior to the publication of the last historical bulletin are excluded.

Many of these datasets are available for downloading to your computer via the National

Agricultural Statistics Service’s Quick Stats: Agricultural Statistics Data Base, found on

the Internet at: http://www.nass.usda.gov/QuickStats/

services. Departmental course work is supplemented by courses in other disciplines; programs lead to

degrees at three levels: Bachelor of Science, Master of Science, and Doctor of Philosophy. Course work

in all curricula provides knowledge of tools and techniques useful for decision making. Emphasis in the

undergraduate program centers on developing the student’s managerial ability. The graduate program

builds on the undergraduate background, strengthening basic knowledge and adding more sophisticated

analytical skills and business capabilities.
