other poultry. Data are for other poultry not having 
a speeifie eode on the report form. The list of 
poultry with speeifie eodes changed from 2007, so 
data are not directly comparable. 
Other tame hay. See Hay, other tame dry hay. 
Other vegetables. Data shown for other vegetables 
relate to any vegetable not having a specific code on 
the census form. 
Owned horses and ponies. Only horses and ponies 
which are owned by the operation and sold 
contribute to the total value of production of the 
operation. Horses on the operation which are not 
owned and sold do not contribute to the total value 
of production. Therefore, the value of horses owned 
sold is published instead of all sold horses. This 
removes not owned horses sold that were not part of 
an operation’s value of production. It is not possible 
to publish a value for Total horses sold in 2012 as 
the data were not summarized. 
Patronage dividends. See Total income from farm- 
related sources, gross before taxes and expenses. 
Payments received by the contractee for 
commodities produced under production 
contract. These data show the number of farms and 
the dollar amount the contractees received from 
contractors for commodities produced under 
contract. This is not the market value of the 
commodities delivered, but the payment or fee the 
operators received for commodities delivered.

category in all States except for California and 
Arizona. Peach data in California and Arizona were

freestone are found in the California and Arizona

improved and Pecans, native and seedling. Total 
acres, bearing acres, and nonbearing acres were 
collected by category.

that have been genetically altered through breeding 
and grafting techniques to produce more nuts, and 
nuts with a greater percentage of nut meat. See

Permanent pasture and rangeland, other than 
cropland and woodland pastured. This land use 
category encompasses grazable land that does not 
qualify as woodland pasture or cropland pasture. It 
may be irrigated or dry land. In some areas, it can be 
a high quality pasture that could not be cropped 
without improvements. In other areas, it is barely 
able to be grazed and is only marginally better than 
wasteland.

only in California and Arizona. All other States
