The Farm Gate Report is compiled from a survey of Georgia Cooperative Extension County Agents and commodity specialists for the purpose of providing annual county-level information for the value of all food and fiber commodities grown in the state.

The 2005 Farm Gate Report indicates that Georgia's agricultural production value continued to expand in 2005, but at a very modest pace. Vegetable prices were higher in 2005 than 2004 accounting for most of the 24% increase (up $170 million) in the value of vegetable production. Fruit and nut production values were also higher with blueberries (up $10 million) and pecan production (up $40 million) showing the greatest gains. Cotton production and yields were good and, along with expanded peanut acreage, resulted in increased row and forage crop values. Cotton and peanuts contributed a combined $155 million increase compared to 2004.
