Some Notes About These Data It is a large and challenging task to compile information detailed in this publication. This project would not have been possible without the assistance and support of many people and organizations. We would like to thank all of the fruit organizations in the state that supported the survey work and helped to publicize the importance of the work. Thanks go to Dan Kelly at the Washington Growers Clearinghouse, Lindsay Buckner of Tree Top Inc., and Todd Fryhover of the Washington Apple Commission for their support, assistance and feedback. We would like to thank Vicky Scharlau and Susan Pheasant for feedback, assistance, and their efforts to promote this project. Special thanks go to Perry Beale for his assistance and cooperation to use the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s geographic information system (GIS) layer to facilitate the area survey portion of this project.

Most importantly we would like to thank the tree fruit and grape growers who took the time from their busy schedules to provide the data compiled in this publication. This project would not have been possible without their cooperation. The 2011 Grape and Tree Fruit Acreage Inventory by Variety Study was designed to measure the details about the Washington Grape and Tree Fruit industries. This is the sixth time a survey of this type has been conducted in Washington. Previous surveys were conducted in 1948-49, 1986, 1993, 2001, and 2006. Comparisons to previous data are shown in the publication. Data may not be comparable due to changes in survey methodology. Statistics regarding grapes will be released in a separate publication. The following are some notes regarding the tree fruit data. The survey was supported by all of the major fruit organizations and publicized in many newsletters and industry publications. Orchardists were sent pre-survey letters, endorsed by the coalition of Northwest tree fruit organizations, explaining the intent and need to report. An example of the pre-survey letter is included in the appendix of this report. In addition to the existing list of orchard operations, several lists of fruit producers were obtained and matched to the existing list to maximize the coverage of the list portion of the survey. Lists from commissions, associations, county assessors, marketing orders, and others were reviewed for this effort. The list portion of the survey included all those operations thought to have five or more acres of tree fruit or one or more acres of grapes. The list sample included over 5,200 operations. The modes of data collection included mail, telephone, personal interview, and online Electronic Data Reporting. Operations were given an opportunity to respond by mail beginning in December 2010. A copy of the questionnaire and respondent booklet are included in this report. The beginning date of data collection was December 1,

2010. The median date of data collection was February 15. Follow-up mailings were conducted and all medium and most smaller operations were contacted by telephone. Large operations, defined as those thought to have greater than 500 acres of fruit or those with significant amounts of less prevalent fruit, were followed up with face-to-face interviews. When possible, efforts were made to use grower electronic records. Over 23,000 individual blocks of fruit information from approximately 2,200 growers who reported one or more blocks of tree fruit or grapes were tabulated. Most of the nonrespondents were smaller-sized operations as less effort was made to follow-up with growers expected to report very small fruit acreages. To evaluate the completeness of the list portion of the survey an area study was conducted. One hundred square miles, or sections, of land containing tree fruit or grapes were statistically sampled and screened for tree fruit or grape producers. Orchard or vineyards operators in the chosen sections were recorded and compared to the names in the list portion of the sample. Those area records not present on the list represent the incompleteness of the list portion of the survey. The list portion of the survey covered just over 95 percent of the total acreage. Much of the acreage missed by the list portion of the survey had recently changed ownership or management. Most of the operations not present on the list were very small operations. There were several measures employed to assure data quality. Telephone data collection was conducted using a computerized survey instrument. The survey instrument included prompts to the interviewer when unusual situations were encountered. An example would be an extremely high or low planting density. All records, including those collected by mail and face-to-face interviews, were reviewed within a computerized interactive editing system. This process ensured that records were internally consistent (e.g. acres in blocks of fruit add up to total fruit acres reported). Some data errors can best be identified by reviewing all records meeting a particular criterion. For example, a review of all Merlot grape blocks planted in the past five years, sorted by vines per acre, would highlight blocks with usually high or low planting densities. The data in this survey were reviewed in an interactive analysis system that would facilitate these types of reviews.

USDA/NASS WA Field Office Washington Vineyard Acreage Report 2011 Page 5

A small number of operations were able to provide only partial block level information. In these cases, the averages from the reported data were used to complete the block level data. For example, a partially responding ten acre block of Chardonnay grapes planted in 2006 would have been given the vines per acre average from responding blocks of the same characteristics to estimate the total number of vines for the block. Block level data from responding vineyards represented approximately 87 percent of the published totals for total grapes. The survey data totals were analyzed by American Viticultural Area (AVA) for reasonableness. Also, grape acreage totals from county assessor offices, data from the 2007 Census of Agriculture, the previous grape acreage survey, vineyard data from WSDA’s GIS layer, and other industry data at the AVA level were considered in setting grape acreage “targets” at the state level and by AVA. Once the targets were set, the adjustments were carried through to each individual responding block of data. The same adjustment process utilized in the Census of Agriculture, known as calibration, where the weights of responding blocks of fruit are adjusted within tolerance ranges of the targets was used. Before adjustment, responding wine grape blocks had weights of one; after adjustment the average wine grape weight was 1.05 with a maximum weight of 2.94. This means, for example, that a reported ten acre block of Chardonnay grapes containing 8250 vines might have received a weight of, say, 1.2. After weighting, the block of fruit would have contributed 12 acres and 9,900 vines to the published totals. This report includes data for the two newest AVA’s – Snipes Mountain AVA and Lake Chelan AVA. A few areas of the state are not included in an AVA. For example, wine grape growing areas near the Columbia Gorge AVA and in the Stevens county area. The total acreage outside an established AVA is relatively small and these areas were collapsed into the Columbia Valley AVA. The Walla Walla and Columbia Gorge AVA’s include parts of Oregon. The data in this report detail the Washington portions of these AVA’s. For Oregon data see the companion publication on NASS’s , Oregon Field Office website. New for the 2011 survey, respondents were asked to provide the number of certified organic acres as well as transition to organic acres for each block of fruit. These results are summarized by variety. In addition, respondents were asked to provide the total acres certified in a Food Safety GAP program. The reported acres totaled 67,376. No adjustments were made to this number for non-response, nor coverage. Data users should consider this number as an absolute minimum. Data included in “other varieties” include varieties with minimal acreage, unknown varieties, or varieties not published to avoid disclosure of individual operations. Almost certainly, some acres of the published varieties are included in this other category when the respondent did not designate the variety. The red varieties of wine grapes reported but not published include: Campbell Early, Carmenere, Cinsault, Cournoise, Dolcetto, Gamay Beaujolais, Gamay Noir, Leon Milot, Marechal Foch, Nebbiolo, Souzao, Tinto Cao, Touriga, and Tinta Madeira, . The white varieties of wine grapes reported but not published include: Aligote, Aurore, Chasselas, Madeline Angevine, Madeline Sylvaner, Mueller-Thurgau, Muscat of Alexandria, Muscat Ottonel, Orange Muscat, Pinot Blanc, and Siegerrebe.

Intentions for 2011 and the Next Five Years

Grape producers were asked for their intentions to topwork, remove, or plant each of the fruit crops in 2011 and their intentions in the next five years. For all vineyards, there were 36 reports to remove acreage, and 88 reports to put in new plantings in 2011. Between now and 2016, there were 41 reports to remove acreage, and 129 reports of new planting intentions. Many producers indicated in comments that they were unsure of their one year and five year intentions at the time of the survey. A few larger firms that supplied acreage information did not provide a response to the intentions questions. No adjustments were made for those not responding or unsure of their intentions. Data users should evaluate the intentions information considering the factors mentioned above and consider the data shown minimum amounts.

Grape & Tree Fruit Acreage Inventory by Variety Study

January 1, 2011

Information is being gathered for an inventory of Washington fruit acreage by variety and rootstock as of January 1, 2011. Your voluntary response is needed for accurate estimates. All reports will be kept confidential. Survey results will be published and available to you on Internet or by mail.

9. If total tree fruit acreage on this operation is less than 5 acres and total grape acreage is less than 1 acre, skip to Survey Results on p. 4, otherwise, continue to page 2.

USDA/NASS WA Field Office Washington Vineyard Acreage Report 2011 Page 23

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECORDING DETAILED INFORMATION Information should be recorded by COUNTY, BLOCK NAME, FRUIT TYPE, VARIETY, ROOTSTOCK (only for apples, cherries, and pears), YEAR PLANTED OR TOPWORKED, and AMERICAN VITICULTURAL AREA (for Wine Grapes). The reference date is January 1, 2011. (Column 1. Optional) Record block name, for our reference. (Column 2) The county where the fruit is located should be recorded for each fruit. Use a separate line for each variety, rootstock (for apples, cherries, and pears), and year planted or topworked. (Columns 4 and 6) Record the type and variety of the fruit. (Column 8) For wine grapes only, record the most definitive American Viticultural Area code for each block. (Column 9) For apples, pears, and cherries, record the rootstock code. (Column 10) Enter the year code of planting or year topworked for each line. (Column 11) Record the acres of fruit (excluding roads, waste areas, abandoned orchards/vineyards) to the nearest tenth acre. (Columns 12-13) Record the number of certified organic acres and transition to organic acres. (Columns 14-15) Record the number of trees/vines for each line by bearing age and non-bearing age. The operator makes the determination in classifying trees/vines as bearing age. Exclude non-harvested pollenizers in tree count. (Column 16-18) Provide this information only if the number of trees/vines in columns 14 and 15 are not reported. Record the percentage of acreage in the block that is of bearing age, and either the tree/vine density per acre or the block tree/vine spacing. Include additional or clarifying information for unusual situations (irregular tree spacing patterns or interplant designs, multiple row plantings, etc.) in the comments section or on a separate enclosure.
