1     Wholesale value of sales as reported by growers with $100,000 or more in sales of floriculture crops plus
       a calculated wholesale value of sales for growers with sales below $100,000. The value of sales for
       growers below the $100,000 level were estimated by multiplying the number of growers in each size group
       by the mid-point of each dollar value range.
