For the 2000 growing season, the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) of the USDA surveyed adoption of individual IPM practices (USDA-NASS, 2001). A summary of results for the major field crops, fruits and nuts, and vegetables is presented in Table 32.5. The adoption of systematic scouting for pests (weeds, insects, or plant diseases) looks very promising.

Pounds of oil production are a 3-year average (1993-1995) from OH Crops Yearbook, October 1997, USDA, ERS with the followihg exceptions rapeseed was calculated by multiplying oil per acre times the 1993-95 average humber of acres harvested. Number of harvested acres comes from USDA, NASS, January 1996. Inedible tallow and yellow grease supply comes from US.

Soybean is the dominant oilseed produced in the world, due to its favorable agronomic characteristics, its high-quality protein, and its valuable edible oil. It contributes over a half of all oilseeds produced worldwide (Figure 2.1). The US ranks first in soybean production (8.24 million tonnes), followed by Brazil, Argentina, China and EU-15 (4.28, 3.28, 3.26 and 2.87 million tonnes, respectively, see Chapter 1). The production of soybeans and soybean oil is driven by the need for soy protein meal, which is used extensively in commercial feeds for poultry, swine and cattle. Soybean oil accounted for 80-90% of total edible oil consumption in the US (USDA-NASS) in 1998 because of its... 

The use of privately developed cultivars by soybean producers increased significantly during the 1980s. After the introduction of glyphosate-tolerant cultivars in 1996, the proportion of the total hectarage planted to private varieties has risen to over 90% (Parrott Clemente, 2004 USDA—NASS, 2007).

Data taken from Fisher (2014). bData from USDA-NASS (2013). 

In 2014, there were 839 bonded wineries in the South (Fisher, 2014). Of all the southern states, Virginia had the most wineries with 213. Mississippi had the fewest of not only the southern states, but of all 50 states in the country, with only one bonded winery (Table 16.1). Only three states in the South have processing production reported in the USDA-NASS (2013) survey. The total processing and total processing wine production have the same reporting numbers, and therefore, it can be assumed almost all reported processing production is for wine in these states.
