Total milk production decreased by 11%. Livestock and Poultry’s gross value of $665,379,000 represents a decrease of 4.2% below 2018, mostly due to a lower per unit value for cattle. The total value of all Field Crop production was $496,171,000, a decrease of 5.0% from the previous year. This decrease is mostly attributed to lower acreage for several field crops. Fruit and Nut commodities were valued at $4,555,465,000 an increase of 11.0%. This increase can be partially attributed to the increase in Almond, Pistachio, and Tangerine acreage. Nursery Products decreased by 25.1% compared to 2018 with an overall value of $72,794,000. Vegetable crops were valued at $19,929,000, representing a 15.2% increase.
