RESULTS

PROCEDURES

California’s 2015 almond acreage is estimated at 1,110,000
acres, up 6 percent from the 2014 revised acreage of 1,050,000.
Of the total acreage for 2015, 890,000 acres were bearing and
220,000 acres were non-bearing. Preliminary bearing acreage
for 2016 was estimated at 900,000 acres.

The major source of the almond detailed data was a
questionnaire mailed to all almond growers included on the
NASS data base. The mailing was made in early November
2015. The questionnaire contained previously reported crop,
variety, and acreage information preprinted. Producers were
asked to update the information with new plantings, removals,
and any other corrections; new growers were mailed a blank
questionnaire. Growers were given six weeks to respond by
mail. Telephone and field follow-up was then undertaken. Data
collection ended in April 2016.

Nonpareil continued to be the leading variety, followed by
Monterey, Butte, Carmel, and Padre.
Kern, Fresno, Stanislaus, Merced and Madera were the leading
counties. These five counties had 73 percent of the total bearing
acreage.

OBJECTIVES
The Pacific Regional Office of the USDA’s National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) conducts an annual acreage survey
of California almond growers. The purpose of this survey is to
provide annual almond acreage with information on new
plantings and removals. It is a continuation of a long series of
industry funded almond acreage surveys.
This report consists of two parts:

To arrive at the estimated almond acreage, the NASS almond
acreage data base was compared with pesticide application
data maintained by County Agricultural Commissioners and the
California Department of Pesticide Regulation. In addition,
NASS looked at data collected on the Almond Nursery Sales
Report.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The USDA, NASS, Pacific Regional Office sincerely appreciates
the many farm operators, owners, and management firms
providing the information. A special thanks is due to the Almond
Board of California for funding.

 Estimated almond acreage -- bearing, non-bearing, and
total.
 Detailed data by variety, year planted, and county -- as
voluntarily reported by almond growers and maintained in
the NASS data base.
With perfect information, the estimated almond acreage and the
detailed data would be the same. However, differences exist for
the following reasons:
 A voluntary survey of approximately 6,000 almond growers
is unlikely to ever attain 100 percent completeness.
 It is difficult for USDA, NASS to detect growers that are
planting almonds for the first time.
The detailed data reflects tree removals from over 45,000 acres
during the past twelve months. Of this number, a significant
amount of acreage was harvested in 2015 prior to being pushed
out, and that acreage has already been removed from the
detailed data.
