Harvested
Acreage for New York Fresh Vegetables Up 4 Percent;
National Acreage Virtually Unchanged
New York onion growers planted 14,300 acres this year, up 4 percent from last year. Harvested onion acreage is expected to total 13,900 acres. This has been a good year for planting onions with a warm winter and spring, allowing growers to get into their fields.
Nationally, onion growers expect to harvest 166,550 acres of onions in 2006, up 3 percent from comparable States last year. Spring onion growers harvested 34,900 acres, down 1 percent from last season. Summer, non-storage onion growers expect to harvest 21,000 acres, up 6 percent from last year. Storage onion growers plan to harvest 110,650 acres in 2006, up 4 percent from comparable States last season.New
York Processed Vegetable Acreage Down 4 Percent
National Acreage Down 1 Percent
Total New York acreage is down 4 percent from last year. This year, processors contracted 19,500 acres of green peas in New York. Sweet corn acreage is at 18,400 acres, down 1,000 acres from last year. Producers planted 20,700 acres of snap beans this year, down slightly from last year.
U. S vegetable processors have contracted 1.21 million acres to be planted to the 5 major vegetable crops (snap beans, sweet corn, cucumbers for pickles, green peas, and tomatoes). This acreage is down 1 percent from last year for comparable States. Acreage increases for green peas and tomatoes were more than offset by decreases in snap beans, sweet corn, and cucumbers for pickles from last year's comparable States. Green pea contracted production, at 416,890 tons, is up 10 percent from 2005. Contracted tomato production is forecast at 11.9 million tons, up 19 percent from 2005 for comparable States.VEGETABLES FOR FRESH MARKET
