1 CITRUS COMMERCIAL CITRUS INVENTORY PRELIMINARY REPORT Cooperating with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services 2290 Lucien Way, Suite 300, Maitland, FL (407) (855) FAX September 2, 206 All Citrus Acreage Down 4 Percent, and Trees Down 3 Percent Results of the annual Commercial Citrus Inventory show total acreage is 480,2 acres, down 4 percent from the last survey and the lowest in a series which began in 966. The gross loss of 3,365 acres is the largest loss recorded in a single season since beginning one year interval surveys in New plantings, at 0,090 acres is less than each of the last two seasons. Of the 27 counties included in the survey, 24 recorded decreases in acreage, 3 showed increases. Polk County had the largest decrease in acreage, down 4,033 acres from last year, while Hillsborough County had the highest percentage net loss, with a 33 percent reduction in acreage. Hendry County had the highest gain with 52 acres and 275,200 trees, followed by De Soto and Charlotte counties. Polk remains the leader in acres with 76,455 acres, while Hendry County has the most trees with nearly 0.0 million trees. Orange acreage declined to 425,728, continuing a trend that began after the 2000 survey. However, oranges represent 89 percent of all acreage, the highest in the series. The Central, Western, and Southern areas each have about 30,000 orange acres, while the remaining two areas combined have just under 35,000 acres. Valencia acreage accounts for over 54 percent of the total orange acreage, non-valencia acreage represents just under 43 percent, and unidentified acreage is 3 percent. Grapefruit acreage is now at 40,36, the lowest in the series. White grapefruit sustained the greater loss at 7 percent, while red grapefruit lost only 4 percent of its total. The Indian River District has the most grapefruit with 73 percent of the total grapefruit acreage. Specialty fruit acreage continued to decline and is now at 4,077 acres, down percent from the last survey. Tangelo acreage decreased 7 percent to 2,623. All tangerine acreage fell 7 percent to 8,799 acres. Honey tangerines account for 49 percent of the total tangerine acreage with 4,337 acres, while early tangerines with 4,462 acres still make up the majority with 5 percent of the total. Other acreage included in specialty fruit increased by 32 percent to 2,655 acres.

Following the 2008 survey, the work was divided between 2 years with part of each county being visited each year. Florida uses the Public Land Survey System with the units of townships and sections to describe land. Each township contains 36 sections, each square mile in size. The township is divided into four quadrants of 9 square miles each. In each survey period, one-half of the quadrants will be inspected. Quadrants with groves in the northern half of each township will be visited in the odd years and those with groves in the southern half are visited in even years. In 2005, all mapped records were transferred to a geographical information system (GIS) for use with digital imagery. Base maps are 2004 Digital Ortho Quarter Quads with newer high resolution imagery provided by the Florida Department of Transportation, as they become available. Changes are now detected by comparing digital imagery taken at different times. Each change observed by the photo interpreter is followed by a ground check which usually results in a revised tree count for the grove. Acreages can be verified using the GIS. Tree numbers are from actual tree counts or from measured acreage. Block sizes are reduced as necessary for dead trees or empty spaces, as well as barnyards, turn rows, swale ditches, and irrigation ponds. A record for each separate planting or block is maintained in the data system. A new record is created for each new planting, and records of plantings which no longer exist are transferred to an inactive layer. For this inventory period, 5 percent of the state s total acreage was visited to update the records. In combination with the inventory, abandoned groves are identified and their locations mapped. Production areas were redesigned in 986 to give greater efficiency for objective forecasting purposes. The principal change was to place all the northern freeze-prone regions in a single area and to set apart the southern flatwoods plantings. The Indian River District follows the boundary of the Indian River Marketing District. This stratification provides greater homogeneity within each sampling stratum.
