1 Source: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service. 2 Value of agricultural sector production is the gross value of the commodities and services produced within a year. Net value-added is the sector's
contribution to the National economy and is the sum of the income from production earned by all factors-of-production, regardless of ownership.
Net farm income is the farm operator's share of income from the sector's production activities. The concept presented is consistent with that
employed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. 3 A positive value of inventory change represents current-year production not sold by December 31. A negative value is an offset to production from
prior years included in current-year sales.

10 FIELD CROPS MICHIGAN AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS 2017-2018
Field Crops
Growing Season Weather Summary Dr. Jeff Andresen, Michigan State University
The 2017 growing season was warmer and wetter than
normal in most areas. Crops in some areas were hurt by
extended dryness during the latter part of the summer and by
excessive rainfall late in the season elsewhere. The preceding
winter was also milder and wetter than normal. The statewide
mean temperatures was 26.8°F (6.6°F above normal), and the
average total precipitation was 7.1” (1.79” above normal). It was
the 6th warmest winter on record.
Precipitation totals from mid-March through mid-April
ranged from less than 2.0” to more than 6.0” (more than 200%
of normal), and soils by were left at field capacity to saturation
by mid-April. The first week of May began an extended period
of below normal temperatures. Widespread frost and freezing
temperatures on the mornings of the 8th and 9th damaged some
fruit and vegetable crops. Rainfall hindered spring fieldwork.
After a period of summer-like weather the third week of May,
the last week of the month had cool, unsettled weather that
persisted into early June. While some northern and southeastern
regions continued to experience persistent rainfall and spring
fieldwork delays, many others saw an extended break in the wet
weather and had rapid planting progress.
During June, weather conditions varied widely. Storms and
heavy rains in mid-June caused flooding and crop damage in
central sections of the Lower Peninsula. Many southern sections,
however, were repeatedly missed by the precipitation and had
gradual development of moisture stress. By late June
southeastern sections were categorized by the U.S. Drought
Monitor as ‘Abnormally Dry’. Precipitation totals for June
ranged from less than 1.5” to more than 10.0”. Monthly mean
temperatures were close to normal. During July, monthly rainfall
totals ranged less than 2.0” to more than 6.0”. Mean
temperatures were close to normal across central and southern
sections and slightly below normal across the north. This
weather combination favored growth and development of most
spring-planted annual crops.
Cooler and drier than normal weather prevailed the last half
of August and early September Mean temperatures for August
ranged from near normal to more than 4°F below normal. Given
the cooler temperatures, crop growth and development lagged
behind normal in many areas. Rainfall for the month ranged
from less than 2.0” to more than 6.0”. Drier than normal weather
across sections of southern and central Lower Peninsula led to
moisture stress and early senescence of crops. Late September
was abnormally hot and dry. This led to rapid maturation and
senescence of most annual crops and favored early harvest
activities. Mean temperatures in September were 3-6°F above
normal. Precipitation totals were 1.0-3.0” below normal. Since
early July, rainfall totals in some central portions of the Lower
Peninsula were less than 4.0” (less than 50% of normal),
resulting in low levels of soil moisture and significant water
stress for many crops. The dryness delayed winter wheat
planting in some areas due to insufficient soil moisture for
germination. At the end of September, the US Drought Monitor
categorized most of the southern half of Lower Michigan as
‘Abnormally Dry’; south central sections were at ‘Moderate
Drought’.
Heavy rainfall occurred in the period of October 5-15, with
totals of 3.0-6.0” across many portions of the state. Some
southwestern sites recorded more than 8.0”. This led to a halt of
fall harvest and other fieldwork. The precipitation infiltrated the
rooting zone, relieved long term stress for perennial crops, and
began seasonal moisture recharge. The late season moisture also
benefitted germination of recently-planted winter wheat. For
many areas the first freeze of the season was at least two weeks
later than normal. Precipitation for October ranged from less
than 4.0” to more than 10.0” across southwestern sections the
Lower Peninsula (up to 300% of normal). For the state as a
whole, October was the wettest on record. Mean temperatures
for the October were about 2°F-6°F above normal.

Agricultural Statistics Districts
The State is divided into nine Agricultural Statistics Districts to
make data comparison easier. An Agricultural Statistics District
is a contiguous group of counties having relatively similar
agricultural characteristics. Each district has within it more
homogeneous agriculture than the State as a whole. They are
numbered from north to south and west to east.
