Crop Reports
The annual crop report summarizes counts, acreage, yields, and gross values of all agricultural production in Nevada County. It should be emphasized that the values in this report do not attempt to measure farm profitability, nor does it consider costs associated with labor, planting, irrigation, and other production-related activities. Furthermore, this report does not attempt to place value on commodities grown for personal use. In addition to placing a dollar amount on the value of agricultural production in Nevada County, it also highlights our department’s accomplishments. These statistics provide the basis for crop value calculations used during disaster relief efforts, such as freeze or fire events.
Approximately 200 copies of our current Annual Crop and Livestock Report are disseminated to the media, legislators, businesses, and the public. Electronic copies of all available reports are available at the link below.
