This dataset contains annual U.S. national and state data on acreage, yield, production, supply, disappearance, per capita use, price, and value for cantaloupe. Additional statistics include annual and monthly shipments, arrivals, U.S. exports and imports by country, usual planting and harvesting dates, agricultural chemical use as well as world production, area, and trade of cantaloups and other melons. This dataset was last updated June 19, 2013.

This watermelon data set contains time series data for the the period 1950-2012 at the U.S. and State-level for such variables as watermelon acreage, yield, production, price, and value. Other series include U.S. per capita disappearance (consumption), U.S. trade--by product, country (1978-2012), market shipment volume, U.S. arrivals in major cities (through 1998), world production and trade by country, usual planting and harvesting dates, and major varieties planted.

Dataset updated June 2013.

This release includes statistics for on-farm use of fertilizers, agricultural chemicals and pest management practices from producers of targeted vegetable crops in 19 states. The chemical use estimates focus on acreage treated with herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and other pesticides for selected vegetable crops. Information for fruit is collected in odd numbered years, while vegetable information is collected in even numbered years. Beginning in May 2010, NASS agricultural chemical use data are published to the Quick Stats 2.0 database only (full-text publications have been discontinued), the latest data releases are available under the NASS Chemical Usage Program.

This handbook identifies the usual planting and harvesting dates for fresh market and processing vegetables as well as principal producing counties and major varieties for the vegetables covered in the National Agricultural Statistics Service's national program of crop estimates. It updates the information contained in the previous edition of this handbook issued 1977.

The Field Offices of the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service compiled the basic information, prepared the estimates of usual dates, and designated the important areas of production and major varieties for their respective States. Growers and horticultural specialists were consulted to verify information published.

This report contains the results of two independent surveys of growing and packing practices of fruits and vegetables. Growers were surveyed on field environment, agricultural water, organic fertilizers, harvest-field operations, harvest workers, and trace back systems. Packers were surveyed for information pertaining to packing workers, field packing, facility packing, and trace back systems. Almost all data in the report is presented in the form of percent of the total (grower or packer) population. Grower data is presented in "Percent of Farms" reporting an agricultural practice and the "Percent of Acres" on which this practice is applied, while packer data is presented in "Percent of Packers" and "Percent of Volume."

This publication provides an annual summary of the total acreage, production and value of principal commercial vegetables used in processing from 1964-1972. Data is presented by state and crop, with all available annual reports made available here.
