This special report provided information on the consolidation and increased production of the U.S. Broiler Industry. The structure and history of the industry is explored.

This special report highlights the increased size and production of U.S. dairy operations, as well as the ultimate consolidation. Overall number of cows and milk produced per operation is reported, as tracked over time.

This report will show the total crop and livestock losses incurred by agricultural producers from wildlife damage. Economic losses will be divided into three categories: field crops; livestock and poultry; and vegetables, fruits and nuts. The reports will also show how much damage was caused by different wildlife species. U.S. Wildlife Damage is published every 5 years.

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 annual report includes information on percent of acres and farms that used selected management practices to control crop pests such as insects, weeds, and diseases. The report is based on questions included in NASS's Fall Agriculture Survey, and data for this report are categorized into the pest management categories of prevention, avoidance, monitoring, and suppression. The report is organized by percentage of acres to which the pest management practice is applied and percent of farms using the specific practice at the U.S. and regional levels. The crops surveyed for pest management practices are: barley, corn, cotton, fruits and nuts, hay(alfalfa), hay (other), soybeans, vegetables, wheat, and other crops and cropland pasture.

This release includes information on insecticides applied to sheep and sheep facilities. Insecticides are applied to sheep and sheep facilities to control mange/mites, lice, flies, and other pests. The 22 major sheep producing States, accounting for over 80 percent of total U.S. sheep inventory, are included in this release. Please note the change in program scope from 2000 to 2010; the 2001 release included all sheep and sheep facilities, the 2011 chemical use data release excluded feedlots and operations with less than 20 ewes. Internal use pharmaceutical products are excluded from the report, but dual purpose products that can be applied internally or externally are included. Insecticide use information on chemical applications to sheep facilities are also included in the report. 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 full-text file was released as a collaboration between the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Wildlife Services. It presents state and U.S. data on the number of head and value of losses of cattle and calves from animal predators (coyotes, dogs, mountain lions, bobcats, bears, wolves, other) and other causes (digestive, respiratory and calving problems, weather, poison, theft, unknown and other).

This report contains data on annual U.S. sheep and goats lost due to predators. Number and value of sheep and lambs lost to predators is presented on a predator basis with breakdowns for amount and value lost per state. Number and value of goats lost to predators is also presented on a predator basis. Also included is data on non-lethal preventative measures taken to prevent loss by predation.

This report provides insecticide use information on the dairy cattle sector of agriculture. All data refer to the on-farm use of active ingredients contained in insecticides applied during the 1999 calendar year. Data is provided in a rate per head per application and rate per head per year format. Insecticides are applied to cattle and cattle facilities to control mange/mites, lice, flies, and other pests. Pharmaceutical products that treat cattle specifically for internal pests are excluded from the report, however dual purpose products that treat both external and internal pests and can be applied externally are included. Additionally, information on chemical insecticide applications made to cattle facilities is also provided in the report.
