tomatoes. The leading livestock commodities were milk,
cattle and calves, and broilers.

Cash receipts from citrus crops amounted to $1.92
billion dollars, an increase of 14.4 percent from 1998. Sales

accounted for 28 percent of all vegetable and melon receipts
and 5.5 percent of all cash receipts.
FIELD CROPS
Receipts for field crops amounted to $684.5 million, up
2.5 percent from last year. Sugarcane, at $519.7 million,
increased 8.6 percent from 1998 and accounts for 76 percent
of the field crop receipts and 7.4 percent of all cash receipts.
Hay receipts, 21.5 million, were up 9.5 percent from the
previous year.

1/ Final sector output 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. Net farm income is the farm operators' 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. 2/ A positive value of inventory change represents current-year production not sold by December 1. A negative value is an offset to production from prior years included in current-year sales. SOURCE: Economic Research Service/USDA |
