The land grant university paintings on the back cover were created by renowned Alabama artist Cindy Mask.

Earlier this year, as the Commissioner for the Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries, I was forced to cut programs and services in order to achieve a mandated budget reduction. These cuts included funds normally used to publish this bulletin. However, as a result of the support from both the private and public sectors, resources were found to continue the publication of this statistical bulletin. Johnny Adams with the Alabama Poultry & Egg Association, Billy Powell with the Alabama Cattlemen’s Association, Jimmy Carlisle with the Alabama Farmers Federation, and Leigha Cauthen with the Alabama Agribusiness Council pledged substantial financial contributions on behalf of their organizations to cover the actual publication costs. Dr. Bill Batchelor, the Dean of Auburn’s School of Agriculture, and Dr. Gaines Smith, the Director of Alabama’s Cooperative Extension System authorized their publication experts to arrange the compilation and distribution services. This was truly a team approach and I want to thank all those involved for their extra effort to continue making available a product that farmers, as well as the entire farming community, find useful and accessible when making agricultural decisions. John McMillan, Commissioner Alabama Department of Agriculture and Industries

Difficult economic times require innovative ways to get things done when money is limited. Plenty of people contributed to making the 53rd edition of the Alabama Agricultural Statistics Bulletin a reality, but I want to especially recognize Assistant Commissioner Glen Zorn for coordinating the effort to secure funds and personnel to keep this bulletin from being a casualty of funding cuts. As the director for the Alabama Field Office, USDA/NASS, I want to thank our field and telephone enumerators for doing an outstanding job always under tight time constraints. Without their dedication and commitment, the data in this bulletin would not exist. And once again I want to thank the office staff for compiling another excellent bulletin. Their dedication and conscientiousness to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the data in our releases. And as always, I want to thank the farmers and ranchers in Alabama for responding to NASS surveys especially during busy times when they are planting and harvesting their crops. The data that goes into the Alabama Agricultural Statistics Bulletin is not only the most accurate source of information available, but also serves to inform the public about who you are and what you do. Consumers need to know that food and fiber does not just miraculously appear in stores and supermarkets. Your contribution is a lasting legacy to farming in Alabama.

Crops Review 2010 Wet, dry and prolonged hot weather severely impacted major crops during the 2010 crop year. Alabama saw some rainfall in the spring but mainly a prolonged hot and dry summer, and heavy rains in the fall. Despite the unbalanced season, planted acreage for the 2010 four major crops (corn, cotton, peanuts and soybeans) totaled 1,150,000 acres, an increase of 20,000 acres from 2009. As of June 6, 2010, the average crop condition for corn, cotton, peanuts, and soybeans was 11 percent fair, 84 percent good, and 6 percent excellent. Soil moisture condition was rated 85 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus. Harvesting of fall crops were ahead of schedule because of the hot and dry weather. Crop yields were affected greatly by the dry and hot summer weather conditions. Corn planted acres were forecast in March 2010 at 250,000 acres, a 30,000-acre decrease from the final 2009 planted acres estimate. But delayed planting caused by cool, wet, spring weather suggested a 20,000-acre increase in June to 270,000 planted acres; this estimate held through the end of the season. Producers harvested 250,000 acres, the same as in 2009, with an average yield of 116 bushels per acre versus 108 bushels per acre in 2009. Total grain production, at 29,000,000 bushels, increased 2,000,000 bushels from 2009, while the value of production rose from $105,030,000 in 2009 to $139,200,000 in 2010. Cotton planted acres were forecast in March at 360,000 acres, a 41 percent increase from 2009. Wet weather slowed planting in the North Alabama area. The cotton crop was at 93 percent planted in early June with the condition at 79 percent good and 7 percent excellent. Final cotton planted acres were estimated at 340,000 acres. The end of season cotton production was estimated at 480,000 bales from 338,000 harvested acres. Yield for the 2010 crop was 682 pounds, up 14 pounds from the previous year. The value of cotton and cottonseed for 2010 was $199,066,000, up 83 percent and $20,856,000, up 42 percent from 2009. Peanut planted acres in 2010 were estimated at 170,000 acres in March and increased to 190,000 at the end of the season. Planting was at 84 percent which was ahead of 2009 at 75 percent, but slightly behind the 5-year average of 89 percent. Peanut conditions in early June were all rated at fair or better condition. Peanuts yielded 2,600 pounds per acre, down from the previous year of 3,300 pounds. Farmers harvested 185,000 acres and produced 481 million pounds of peanuts in 2010. Similar to other crops, late planted peanuts suffered from the dry conditions in parts of the state causing scattered yields along with quality issues. Soybean planted acres were at 350,000 acres, down 20 percent from 2009. Conditions for the soybean crop were 100 percent in fair to excellent condition in early June. Soybean production totaled 8.9 million bushels from 345,000 harvested acres, a decrease of 20 percent from the previous year. Soybean yield was set at 26 bushels per acre. Wheat seeded acres were estimated at 150,000 acres, down 32 percent from 2009. Harvested acres were estimated at 115,000 acres. Wheat yield was 55 bushels per acre which produced 6.3 million total bushels. Total hay stocks for December 2010 increased to 1.20 million tons, down 500,000 tons from December 2009. Hay yielded 2.4 tons per acre, remaining unchanged from 2009. Hay production totaled 1.87 million tons of hay harvested from 780,000 acres, a decrease of 20,000 acres from the previous year. Sweet potato production totaled 480,000 pounds, an increase of 89,000 pounds from 2009.
