1 Increment Report Refresher Presented from Corpus Christi, TX November 25, Levi Russell Assistant Professor & Extension Economist Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Corpus Christi, Texas

2 What is the Increment Report? Basically, the increment report reveals the total value of all various agricultural production items for a county for a calendar year. For our purpose, it only applies to the current production year. 2

3 What Is The Increment Report Used For? Data from the increment report is the front line go-to data by the governor, legislature, county judge, county commissioners, feds, etc. When they need to know: What is the agricultural GDP of the state for this year? How proposed policy will affect agriculture at the county level? What is the economic impact of the crop and livestock industry on the state? What is the economic loss of a fire, tornado, hurricane, flood, drought, etc. to what area of the state? 3

4 Request for Further Documentation and /or Detail We are not questioning the accuracy of any data, but simply asking for further documentation/detail and bringing new people up to speed. Victim of our own successes!! Now that people are becoming aware of what we can give them and what is available, they are asking for more. AgriLife Agents are viewed as the local experts by a large number of agencies. Now, we need to continue to deliver a quality product. 4

5 Available Supplemental/Supporting Data There is a lot of data available for your use: We want to give you something to support your estimates, increase your own confidence in the data, and possibly make the process easier. Other sources of data can also serve as: Accuracy checks General background information FSA, NASS, AMS, Campus 5

6 Bottom Line: This is a report that we will have to continue to produce. Let s make it accurate, representative and as useful as practical. CEAs are the recognized local authority/expert. Only annual county source of Ag. Values. Timely Ag. data. 6

7 Crops: Commodity Worksheets FOOD CROPS: Food Corn (bu) Rice (cwt) Rye (bu) Wheat (bu) FEED CROPS: Barley (bu) Feed Corn (bu) Ensilage (tons) Hay (tons) Oats (bu) Sorghum (bu) COTTON: Cotton Lint (lbs) Cottonseed (tons) OIL CROPS: Peanuts (lbs) Sesame (lbs) Soybeans (bu) Sunflowers (lbs) Crop Worksheet County: Actual Estimates, Projected Estimates, Acres Harvested Yield/Acre Acres Harvested Yield/Acre Cottonseed yield/acre is calculated as: Pounds of Lint/Acre Multiplied by 1.6/2000 Tons of seed/acre Conversion Table: Crop Lbs. lbs/bu Total bu Barley Divided by 48 Corn Divided by 56 Oats Divided by 32 Sorghum Divided by 56 Soybeans Divided by 60 Wheat Divided by 60 7

8 Crop Worksheets Acres Harvested Use harvested acres, not planted acres. We are measuring the value of farm/ranch production. Destroyed or abandoned acres will be reflected in the reduced value of production. NASS records to support your estimates. We will access RMA Crop Insurance data separately, and match that to each county. 8

9 Crop Worksheets (continued) Yield/Acre Again, Local CEAs will have the best access to yields across the whole county. Prior Year NASS yields are available for comparison to your estimates FSA Certified Acres (sent earlier this month). 9

10 Crop Worksheets (cont.) FSA Certified Acres Get with your FSA County Director if you think he has more current data Or give me a call, we can check FSA database Crop, Use, Dry/Irr, Crop Status, and Acres Use: FG=Forage (Baled); GR=Grain; GS=Grazed then Grain; GZ=Grazed Out; LS=Left Standing; SD=Seed. CO=Cover Crop(Plowed back in) 10

11 Crop Worksheets Food vs Feed Commodity Worksheets FOOD CROPS: Food Corn (bu) Rice (cwt) Rye (bu) Wheat (bu) FEED CROPS: Barley (bu) Feed Corn (bu) Ensilage (tons) Hay (tons) Oats (bu) Sorghum (bu) COTTON: Cotton Lint (lbs) Cottonseed (tons) OIL CROPS: Peanuts (lbs) Sesame (lbs) Soybeans (bu) Sunflowers (lbs) Crop Worksheet County: Actual Estimates, Projected Estimates, Acres Harvested Yield/Acre Acres Harvested Yield/Acre Cottonseed yield/acre is calculated as: Pounds of Lint/Acre Multiplied by 1.6/2000 Tons of seed/acre Conversion Table: Crop Lbs. lbs/bu Total bu Barley Divided by 48 Corn Divided by 56 Oats Divided by 32 Sorghum Divided by 56 Soybeans Divided by 60 Wheat Divided by 60 11

12 How To Complete The Increment Report Items to consider under Crop Worksheet section All wheat and rye is reported under the heading of Food Crops Food corn is only for production of corn for contract with Green Giant, Birdseye, etc for example, otherwise Feed Corn Sweet Corn: see vegetable worksheets The hay entry under Feed Crops applies to grass/meadow/sorghum/other hay Alfalfa hay is reported under Miscellaneous Crops 12

14 How To Complete The Increment Report (cont.) Items to consider under Crop Worksheet section Cotton seed is computed based on the pounds of lint per acre and is reported just under the Cotton Lint line. We do need separate entries for lint and seed Cantaloupes and watermelons have their own rows on Vegetable Worksheet, Pg 4. 14

18 Crop Worksheets: Units and Hay Feed Crops: Units use the same units as listed on the sheet. Hay lets be consistent. Hay under Feed crops will be wheat, oats or other crops that were intended to be harvested as grain, but were instead baled as feed. Alfalfa hay, see Miscellaneous crops. Ensilage Anything made into silage (sorghum, corn, etc) 18

19 Crop Worksheets: (continued) Cotton: Separate cotton lint from cotton seed. Oil Crops Vegetable Crops Sweet corn Melons use this line for honeydews or other melons Vegetables See Vegetable crops worksheet. Watermelon and Cantaloupe have their own line. 19

32 Other Items to Consider Items to consider under livestock section Other Beef-calves, Beef is where to report sales of weaned calves from the cow-calf enterprises Other Beef-breeder cattle, Beef is where to report breeding/bred heifers and breeding bulls; also report sales of culls of replacement heifer herd; sales of registered animals goes here, too May include cows or bulls removed from pastures and sent to auction but not necessarily sent to slaughter Other Beef-slaughter cattle is where to report cull cows & bulls 32

33 Livestock Worksheet (Continued) Beef Calves-Beef Estimate of the value of raised calves. Estimate number of calves weaned and sold Either as weaned calves or stockers. With estimate of cow inventory, estimate calf crop weaned and sold. Raised replacement heifers. 33

34 Livestock Worksheets Cow-calf Numbers (Tom Green) Beef Calf Numbers Number of Beef Cows on 1/1/ (NASS data) = 9,200 cows 9,200 cows X 0.83 (weaning %) = 7,636 calves ½ (3,818) bull calves and ½ (3,818) heifer calves (10% of cow herd kept as replacement heifers in ) So, 6,716 calves to sell (3,818 steers + 2,898 Heifers). Assume, sold at 525lbs X $1.6472/lb = $ / head $5,807,862 in OTHER BEEF CALVES, BEEF 34

36 Livestock Worksheets Cull Cow Numbers (Tom Green) Beef Cull Cow Sales Number of Beef Cows on 1/1/ (NASS data) = 9,200 cows 9,200 times 0.15 (cull rate) = 1,380 cull cows 1,000 pounds at $79.55/cwt Then, 1,000 * $ * 1,380. $1,097,790 in OTHER BEEF Slaughter Cattle Culled 1,380 cows and only kept 920 Heifers! Herd still shrinking!?!? 36

37 Livestock Worksheets Cull Bull Numbers (Tom Green) Beef Cull Bull Sales Number of Beef Cows on 1/1/ (NASS data) = 9,200 cows Cows per Bull Ratio: 25 cows per 1 bull, then, 368 bulls 368 times 0.15 (cull rate) = 55 cull bulls 1,600 pounds at $89.00/cwt Then, 1,600 * $0.89 * 55. $78,320 in OTHER BEEF Slaughter CATTLE Total OTHER BEEF Slaughter CATTLE = $1,176,110 37

39 Livestock Worksheets: Wheat Stockers Lets go back to our Taylor County Wheat Example FG 1,501 Acres (hay) GR 33,284 Acres (grain only) GS 28,650 Acres (grazed then grain) GZ 7,989 Acres (grazed out) CO 252 Acres (cover crop) Failed 40 Acres Prevented = 2,278 Acres 39

40 Livestock Worksheets: Wheat Stockers (cont.) GS=28,650 acres (Grazed and Grain) GZ= 7,989 acres (Grazed Out) So, 36,639 acres were grazed early. How many calves? Typical early stocking rate is 3 acres per calf; then 12,213 calves. What is their value? $ per calf; or $2,026,869 40

41 Livestock Worksheets: Wheat Stocker Value GS=28,650 acres (Grazed and Grained) GZ= 7,989 acres (Grazed Out) So, 7,989 were grazed out. How many calves? Typical grazed out stocking rate is 1.25 acres per calf; then 6,391 calves. What is their value? $45.54 per calf; or $291,046 41

42 Livestock Worksheets: Wheat Stocker Value (Continued) Total Winter Stocker value: Early grazing: 12,213 hd for $2,026,869 Graze out: 6,391 hd for $291,046 Total: $2,317,915 OTHER BEEF STOCKER CATTLE 42

50 Remember AgriLife Agents are viewed as the local experts by a large number of agencies. Be confident in the numbers you are reporting. Its easy for others to be critical, but no one else has the data you are reporting. 50
