Asparagus Comments
Asparagus: Production from the 2015 asparagus crop is forecast at 685,000 cwt, down 8 percent from last year.
Harvested area, at 23,500 acres, is down 1 percent from 2014. Total value of the crop, at 75.7 million dollars, is up
3 percent from 2014. Fresh production of 530,000 cwt is down 7 percent from a year ago. Processed production, at
7,750 tons, is down 11 percent from 2014. Asparagus for canning, at 2,200 tons, is up 10 percent from last year. Frozen
asparagus production of 5,550 tons is down 18 percent from 2014.
In California, drought conditions and lack of rain during the winter forced producers to start irrigation in March. The
harvest of the asparagus crop began in late February and was complete in most areas of the State by early June. In
Washington, asparagus acres continue a decade long trend of declining acres.

Strawberry Comments
Strawberries: Strawberry production in the United States is forecast at 31.1 million cwt, up 4 percent from 2014. Area
harvested, at 52,800 acres, is down 2 percent from last year. In California, warm weather led to an earlier harvest. While
the drought has impacted plant growth, production and quality were reported to be good.

Onion Comments
Spring onions: Production of spring onions in 2015 is forecast at 6.50 million cwt, down 18 percent from last year. The
crop covered 21,900 harvested acres. The average yield, at 297 cwt per acre, is 2 cwt above 2014. In Texas, the
2015 season was very challenging due to cold temperatures and heavy rainfall experienced in the late spring and early
summer.
Summer, non-storage onions: Production of non-storage onions is forecast at 10.7 million cwt, up 15 percent from last
year. Harvested area covers 18,800 acres, down 2 percent from the previous year. In New Mexico, growing conditions for
non-storage onions were reported to be good.
Summer, storage onions: Growers expect to harvest 92,650 acres of storage onions this year, down 1 percent from last
year. Despite issues with lack of water available for irrigation, California growers reported the crop to be in good
condition throughout the season. Washington growers reported a very good growing season.
2014 Storage onions, revised: The final tally of 2014 storage onion production is 55.7 million cwt, up 10 percent from
2013. The 2014 storage crop is valued at $566 million, an increase of 2 percent from 2013. Average price per cwt
decreased from $12.10 in 2013 to $11.00 in 2014. With spring and non-storage summer onions added in, total value of the
2014 harvested onions is $934 million, down 4 percent from 2013.

Processing Crop Comments
Snap beans: Contracted production of snap beans is forecast at 728,360 tons, up 10 percent from last year. Contracted
harvested area is up 8 percent and yield is up 0.16 ton per acre from last year. In Pennsylvania, adequate and timely
rainfall throughout the growing season coupled with moderate temperatures led to higher yields than last season.
Sweet corn: Contracted sweet corn production is forecast at 2.86 million tons, up 15 percent from last year. An increase
of 10 percent in contracted harvested area is expected along with an increase in yield of 0.34 ton per acre from 2014. In
Washington, weather conditions have been good for vegetable crops. In Minnesota, excellent yields were reported.
Green peas: Contracted production is forecast at 361,230 tons, up less than 1 percent from last year. Area for harvest, at
164,900 acres, is down 11 percent from 2014. The expected yield, at 2.19 tons per acre, is up 0.26 ton per acre from a year
ago. Area contracted for planting, at 176,300 acres, is down 9 percent from 2014. Area contracted for canning, at
80,600 acres, is up 2 percent from last year. Area contracted for freezing, at 95,700 acres, is down 16 percent from 2014.
Tomatoes: Contracted tomato production is forecast at 14.9 million tons, up 2 percent from last year. Contracted
harvested area is up 2 percent and yield is up 0.64 ton per acre from last year. In California, growers reported that the crop
looks very good overall.

Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: Grower and processor surveys are conducted in preparation for this report. Telephone follow-up of
mail survey non-respondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Other data are obtained via fax or personal interview.
Estimating procedures: Information obtained from the vegetable surveys along with administrative data is used to
establish forecasts of area and production. These forecasts are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with
historical estimates.
Revision policy: Vegetable forecasts will not be revised. End-of-season estimates are made following harvest and are
subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available data.
Reliability: Survey indications are subject to sampling variability because all operations growing vegetables are not
included in the sample. Survey results are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation
for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly,
but are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for
consistency and reasonableness.
