The
Commissioner
Speaks
The Department of Agriculture and Industries is very proud of the great strides that
have been made in Alabama agriculture in recent years and we are especially proud of the
part this department has had in the orderly and healthy development of our agriculture
and agri-business. We feel our agriculture is basically sound and our growth potential is
unlimited.
The great growth we have experienced in recent years can be seen in the figures in this
bulletin, which is one of a continuing series of the Alabama Agricultural Statistics
Division. We were happy to cooperate with the United States Department of Agriculture
in providing this important tool to our farmers, agricultural leaders and the agri-business
community. The information contained in this Bulletin not only shows how far we have
come, but it gives an indication of the direction in which we are headed and should be
invaluable in helping everyone in agriculture to determine the direction of their future
efforts.
With the great changes in agricultural needs and demands world-wide in recent years,
we have seen the importance of accurate agricultural data in determining the production
of food and fiber. Your job as a reporter for the Alabama Crop and Livestock Reporting
Service is becoming more important. If a great number of you made serious errors in
judgement, it could alter the state and national picture greatly. I urge you to continue the
fine job you have done over the years. Your job is most important and you can be assured
that your efforts are appreciated by many.
This Bulletin is an illustration of the many ways we in the State Department of
Agriculture and Industries cooperate with the United State3 Department of Agriculture
and other agencies and organizations to avoid duplication of effort and 
to provide
efficient and beneficial service to the agricultural and agri-business interest. This Bulletin
contains impartial information that is as accurate as our system can provide. We 
sincerely
hope that it will be of value to everyone.
Sincerely yours,
"3 ,,
M.D. "Pete" Gilmer

ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
FOREWORD
This issue of Alabama Agricultural Statistics is the fifteenth in a.se'ries started in
1948. Bulletins in this series bring together under one cover a summary of the various
reports prepared and published by the Alabama Crop and Livestock Reporting Service
during the year. This bulletin revises the series of data from 1965 to 1971 and carries
preliminary estimates for 1972 and January 1, 1973 inventories.
Data presented in this bulletin are developed primarily from sample surveys. In recent
years information furnished by volunteer reporters has been supplemented by enumera-
tive surveys based on area and list samples. As agriculture becomes more specialized and
concentrated on fewer farms, samples used in preparing agricultural estimates must be
more scientifically designed.
Basic statistical information, such as presented in this bulletin, is important to all who
make plans and decisions relative to ever changing agriculture. Producers need basic
information in making production, marketing and storage plans. Other users of
agricultural data include farm organizations and cooperatives; transportation agencies;
processors and storage companies; manufacturers and agribusinessmen who provide goods
and services to producers; insurance companies; credit agencies; agricultural colleges;
research workers and personnel of local, State and Federal governments.
Special recognition and thanks are given to all who have made this bulletin possible
by reporting voluntarily to us. We acknowledge the help of many Alabama farmers,
dealers, processors, hatcherymen, merchants, and others who have cooperated in
providing basic information on the State's agriculture.
Sincerely,
Dofialdfl. Jones
Statistician in Charge
ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
CROP REVIEW, 1972
by William T. Placke
The value of principal crops produced by Alabama farmers during 1972 totaled
$296.3 million, down 3 percent from the $304.8 million placed on the 1971 outturn.
Decreased production from a year earlier of all crops except Irish potatoes, commercial
vegetables and peaches was largely responsible for this decline. Higher prices for most
crops, however, limited the decrease in value, as cotton lint, cottonseed, wheat, Irish
potatoes and peaches were the only crops to register a decline in price from the previous
year. Value of production was above 1971 for corn, Irish potatoes, sweetpotatoes,
tobacco, soybeans, tall fescue seed, commercial vegetables and peaches. Cotton remained
as the State's most valuable crop, followed by soybeans, peanuts, corn and hay.
Alabama farmers harvested principal crops from 2,884,000 acres, down 2 percent
from the 2,956,000 acres harvested in 1971. Largely responsible for the decrease were
fewer acres of corn, sorghum grain and hay. Sorghum grain acreage harvested for all
purposes was down sharply from the record-high harvest in 1971 when farmers shifted to
so ghum for grain following the blight-reduced corn crop a year earlier. Soybean acreage
harvested for beans in 1972, however, passed the record-high acreage harvested a year
earlier. Harvested acreage of cotton and commercial vegetables was also up from 1971.
Dry weather during the growing season 
and wet weather during harvest reduced 
yield
per acre for most crops from a year earlier. Rust caused extensive damage to small grains,
particularly wheat, and yields were the lowest on record since 1957. Cotton yield was
significantly below the record-high yield established in 1971 with yield for peanuts down
moderately from the record yield established the previous year. The 1972 soybean yield
was considerably below the near record yield a year earlier. Corn yield in 1972 remained
the same as the previous year and was surpassed only by the record-high yield established
in 1967. Irish potatoes, tobacco, crimson clover, snap beans and tomatoes were the only
crops in 1972 showing an increase in yield from the previous year.
Alabama farmers generally made good progress with spring fieldwork and planting of
row crops got off to an early start. Open weather prevailed during most of the planting
season and this operation was completed on schedule. Adequate moisture brought crops
up to a good stand and generally conditions were favorable during early stages of plant
growth. In mid-June, a brief period of dry weather staggered the favorable potential for
crops, but rains from Hurricane Agnes quickly restored soil moisture. Conditions
remained favorable for awhile and the outlook was again bright.
Crops never looked better on August 1, but at mid-month dry weather set in over
most of the State, primarily in central and southern counties. Prospects for crops took a
turn for the worse. The dry conditions prevailed during September and most of October.
Harvest began on schedule and made good progress until rains came the last part of
October. From that time, harvest of cotton, corn-and soybeans was slow, especially in
north Alabama where rainfall was the heaviest.
Alabama's cotton crop got off to a slow start and unseasonably cooi 
temperatures
slowed germination of seeds, especially in north Alabama. The crop, however, made good
progress once hot weather came. Development of cotton was generally good until dry
weather set in during August. Bolls opened prematurely in many fields, especially in
southern and central counties, and much of the "top-crop" did not develop. A few timely
rains, however, maintained prospects for the north Alabama crop. Harvest got underway
the middle of August in southern and central counties and the "first bale" was ginned
August 15.: Cotton harvest soon took priority and good progress was made until
mid-October. From then, continued rains reduced production and deteriorated grades,
more so in north Alabama than in other parts of the State where harvest was more
advanced. Harvest of the 1972 cotton crop ran well into the following year.
ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
Planting of the 1972 corn crop was slowed by frequent rains during early spring.
When open weather prevailed, however, planting made good progress and virtually all
acreage was seeded by the last of May. The crop generally made favorable development,
but earliest plantings suffered damage from a short period of dry weather just prior to
Hurricane Agnes. Moisture was sufficient throughout the fruiting stage to push late corn
to maturity. Harvest began on schedule, but soon took second priority to cotton. By
mid-December only a small portion of the crop was still in the field.
Prospects for soybeans were excellent until dry weather in August and September
caught beans in the critical pod-filling stage. The late crop was especially hard hit.
Combining started in south Alabama the last part of September and gradually moved
up-State as beans matured. Rains and wet fields delayed completion of harvest, especially
in northern counties, and yields were reduced considerably.
Growers were very optimistic about the 1972 peanut crop early in the season.
Planting was completed on schedule and excellent progress was made controlling grass,
weeds, insects and leafspot. Prospects continued favorable until early August. Rains
needed to "finish" the crop did not materialize and growers were forced to dig peanuts
before they could put on additional tonnage. Harvest was completed without much
difficulty.
The weather man was a very stubborn creature in 1972 and conditions for many of
the other principal crops were about the same as for cotton, corn, soybeans and peanuts.
When crops needed moisture, rains did not come. Conversely, there were too many rainy
days at harvest time.

ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
LIVESTOCK REVIEW, 1972
by John T. Markham
Cash Receipts and Value: Alabama livestock producers received $282.3 million from
marketings of cattle, hogs and sheep during 1972, up 34 percent from the $210.4 million
received for their 1971 marketings. The total value of cattle, hogs and sheep on Alabama
farms at the close of 1972, at $471.1 million, was 30 percent above a year earlier.
Increases were exhibited in the total value of each specie despite the decreases in the
inventory of hogs and sheep.
Cattle: All cattle and calves on Alabama farms January 1, 1973 totaled 2,112,000
head, 3 percent above January 1, 1972. Beef cows and heifers that have calved, at
995,000 head, were up 5 percent from January 1, 1972. Alabama ranked 20th among the
States in total cattle and 16th in beef cow numbers. Milk cows and heifers that have
calved, at 120,000, were unchanged from a year earlier.
Value of the January 1, 1973 cattle inventory was up 28 percent from the previous
year, reflecting a $40 increase in value per head and a 3 percent larger inventory. Total
value amounted to $433.0 million, an average of $205 per head.
The 1972 calf crop, at 980,000 calves, was 4 percent above the 1971 crop of
942,000. Calves born, as a percent of the "cows and heifers that have calved" on hand
January 1, 1972, was 92 percent compared with 91 percent the previous year.
Hogs: All hogs and pigs on Alabama farms December 1, 1972, at 1,000,000 head, was
5 percent below a year earlier. Alabama ranked 16th among the States in total hog
numbers. The average value of hogs and pigs on farms rose from $24.00 per head on
December 1, 1971, to $38.00 on December 1, 1972. The December 1, 1972 inventory
value amounted to $38.0 million, compared with $25.3 million a year earlier.
Farrowings during 1972 totaled 207,000 - 19,000 less 
than in 1971. The average
number of pigs saved per litter rose to 7.6, giving a pig crop of 1,562,000 pigs for 1972,
down 7 percent from the 1,693,000 saved during 1971.
Sheep: Sheep numbers continued to decline. On January 1, 1973, there were only
5,000 sheep and lambs on farms in Alabama, compared with 5,200 a year earlier. Value
of this inventory was placed at $98,000, up $10,000 from the previous year.
Milk Production: Alabama dairymen produced an estimated 862 million pounds of
milk during 1972, up 5 percent from the 1971 production. Production per cow, at 7,183
pounds, set a new record high while the average number of milk cows remained at the
record low of 120,000 established a year earlier.
Red meat Production: Alabama production of red meat (beef, veal, pork and mutton)
during 1972 was 2 percent below the 1971 output. Production during 1972 totaled an
estimated 182.2 million pounds, compared with 186.4 million the previous year. Mutton
and beef exhibited 77 and 13 percent decreases, respectively, from the 1971 output. Veal
production was virtually unchanged from the previous year while pork was up 2 percent
over 1971. Of the total 1972 production, pork and beef represented approximately 75
and 25 percent, respectively, with veal and mutton accounting for less than one-half
percent.

POULTRY REVIEW, 1972
by Michael S. Guillory
Poultry is King: The poultry industry wears the crown in Alabama with its ruling 31
percent of cash receipts from farm marketings by Alabama producers in 1972. Broiler
production is the most important sector of the industry, with egg production in second
place. Production of chickens, excluding broilers, is a minor segment and turkey
production is the smallest part of the total poultry industry in the State. The poultry
industry in Alabama consists mainly of large integrated operations. The broiler industry is
completely integrated and the greater part of the layers in flocks producing commercial
eggs for the table belong to such operations.
Alabama Holds Fifth Rank in Poultry Income: Receipts from all poultry at $273.1
million in 1972 placed Alabama in fifth position behind Georgia, California, Arkansas and
North Carolina. Alabama ranked third in income from broilers and sixth in receipts from
egg marketings.
Broiler Production Continued to Expand: Alabama broiler producers turn out about
1.5 million broilers each working day. That adds up to 399.3 million birds produced in
1972. This is 3.9 percent greater than the previous record high of last year- in fact the
Alabama broiler business has established new production records every year since 1947.
Producers received 13.1 cents per pound on a liveweight at farm basis for broilers
marketed in 1972. The record low price was in 1967 when growers receivedonly 12.0
cents per pound.
Egg Production Declined Slightly: The egg comes second within the poultry industry
in Alabama. A total of 2,852 million eggs was produced in 1972. This includes all eggs
produced and used for hatching as well as those sold on the commercial markets both
wholesale and retail. Alabama's laying flock averaged 12,532 thousand layers during the
year. Annual production per layer was at 228 eggs as compared to the 135 eggs per layer
of 25 years earlier. Alabama's laying flocks continue to become more concentrated in the
hands of larger commercial operators. Commercialization of the industry has contributed
much to the increased egg production.
Chicken Production (Excluding Broilers) Decreased: Alabama poultrymen produced
10,500,000 chickens (excluding broilers) in 1972. This phase of the poultry industry
reflects largely the production of replacement pullets for laying flocks and production in
small farm flocks.
Baby Chick Production 
Increased: Alabama 
hatchery operators 
produced 462.7
million baby chicks in 1972, another record high. Of this total, 451.8 were broiler-type
chicks and 10.9 egg-type. Hatching baby chicks is an important segment of the poultry
industry in Alabama. Consolidation is, also, evident in this segment by the decreasing
number of hatcheries but increased capacities. At the beginning of 1973, there were 53
chick hatcheries with a rated capacity of 45,104,000 eggs. Two years earlier there were
71 hatcheries with a capacity of 40,369,000 eggs. The peak number was in 1957 when
there were 96 hatcheries. Capacity of hatcheries has been increasing steadily in recent
years even though the number has decreased.
Turkey Business Holds Minor Position: Production of turkeys in Alabama is a minor
enterprise with only 28,000 birds produced in 1972. Turkey numbers were sharply up
during the period 1962 to 1966 when Alabama's all-time record crop was 1,278,000 birds
produced.

ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
PRICES AND FARM LABOR REVIEW, 1972
by Harold F. Benford
Prices Received by Farmers
Alabama farmers received higher prices for their production in 1972 thai they did the
previous year. The Alabama All Commodity Index of Prices Received by farmers in 1972
averaged 296 percent of base (1910-14=100), compared with 258 percent in 1971.
The 1972 Livestock and Livestock Products Index, at 372 percent of base, was 62
points (20 percent) higher than in 1971. After climbing to 363 in February the index
sagged slightly during the spring-months then climbed to the year high of 403 in
December. Beef cattle averaged $32.00 per hundredweight, up $5.80 from 1971.
Beef cattle prices rose steadily from their low or $29.40 per cwt. in January to their high
of $33.30 in November and December. Calves, at an average of $44.10 for the year,
were $9.30 per cwt. above the previous year.
At $24.20 per cwt., hogs were up $7.40 from 1971. Hog prices gained steadily as the
year progressed to the yearly high of $28.60 per cwt. in December. Milk sold at wholesale by
farmers averaged $7.18 per cwt. in 1972, up 1 cent from a year earlier. Broiler prices at 13.1
cents per pound in 1972 were up .5 cents from 1971. Eggs, at 34.1 cents per dozen,
were down 2.3 cents from 1971. Monthly prices ranged from a low of 29.0 cents in May
to a high of 46.0 cents in December.
Prices received for crops in 1972 were also above the previous year. The crops Index
for 1972 averaged 256 percent of base, compared with 230 percent for 1971. Cotton
averaged 27.9 cents per pound, down from the previous year's average of 28.05 cents.
Soybeans at $3.70 per bushel averaged $.80 higher than was received for the 1971 crop.
Peanuts averaged .7 cents per pound above the 1971 price of 13.8 cents. Hay, at $30.50
per ton, was up $2.00 from the previous year's crop. Wheat averaged $1.35 per bushel,
down 13 cents from a year earlier. The price of corn, at $1.43 for the 1972 crop, was 25
cents above the previous year's crop.
Prices Paid by Farmers
Alabama does not have an Index of Prices Paid by farmers. Therefore, direct
comparisons between prices paid and those received by Alabama farmers cannot be made.
However, the price of most cost of living and cost of production items showed increases
from the previous year.
Farm Employment and Wage Rates
The number of persons working on farms continues to decline as farms become more
specialized and mechanized. At the same time wage-rates continue to spiral upward. In
1972, the total farm workers averaged 82,000 per month. This total consisted of 65,000
farmily workers and 17,000 hired workers. This compares with an average total of 86,000
workers in 1971, which consisted of 68,000 family workers and 18,000 hired workers.
Wage rates at the quarter beginning January 
1, 1972, declined slightly from the previous
quarter then climbed to the peak in the quarter beginning October 1, 1972.

ALABAMA AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS
FARM INCOME REVIEW, 1972
by Marshall L. Dantzler
Cash receipts for farm marketings totaled some $910 
million in 1972. Cash receipts
from livestock and livestock products, valued at $616.4 million, accounted for 67.7
percent of the total while receipts from crops totaled $293.6 million to account for the
remaining 32.3 percent. Cash receipts for all commodities were 13 percent above a year
earlier with livestock and livestock products 17 percent higher and crops up 6 percent.
When compared with other State's cash receipts, Alabama ranked third for broilers and
peanuts, sixth for eggs, seventh for cotton and tenth for tomato production in 1972.
Poultry and poultry products accounted for 30.0 percent of receipts from farm
marketings with cattle and calves, at 22.7 percent, ranking second. Cotton contributed
8.6 percent of the total and hogs 8.2 percent. Dairy products and soybeans accounted for
6.6 and 6.2 percent of the total, respectively. These six enterprises contributed slightly
more than four-fifths of the total cash receipts from farm marketings.
Receipts from broilers, eggs, and farm chickens reached a record $273.9 million in
1972. Also,'registering a banner year were receipts fromcattle and calves totalihg $206.3
million. Increased marketings at higher prices than a year earlier accounted for these
records. Receipts from cotton, peanuts and soybeans accounted for 67 percent of the
crops with receipts from soybeans registering a 31.8 percent increase over 1971.
Realized gross farm income approached $1.1 billion to pass the previous year's record
high of $963.5 million. In addition to cash receipts from farm marketings, realized gross
farm income includes direct government payments, value of home consumption items and
gross rental value of farm dwellings. Government payments to Alabama farmers at $68.1
million in 1972, were up 12 percent from a year earlier.
Farm production expenses continued to rise in 1972. Compared with 1971, current
operating expenses were up 9 percent and total production expenses 7 percent higher.
Realized net farm income -gross income less total production expenses - rose 15
percent from the previous year. Farm numbers continued their downward trend and the
realized net income per farm at $4,399 rose 18 percent above a year earlier.
When cash receipts from farm marketings were first estimated by commodities for
1924, cotton contributed 72 percent to the total and all other crops 14 percent.
Livestock and livestock products (including poultry and eggs) also contributed 14
percent. It was not until 1957, when farmers put considerable cotton acreage in the "Soil
Bank" that receipts from livestock and livestock products passed those from crops. At the
beginning of the sixties, livestock and livestock products contributed about 60 percent to
total receipts. During the sixties, agriculture shifted more to livestock and now this
percentage is nearly 68 percent.
