The Honorable Board of Supervisors

Gentlemen:

I am pleased to submit the Agricultural Crop Report forthe year 1953. The report is compiled as required by Section65°5 of the State Agricultural Code.

As has been our custom in the past, the figures are thegross returns to producers of Agricultural products. The unitsof production are tho ones commonly used for the commodityreported. In some instances various sizes of containers usedin packaging will have to be taken into account when arrivingat the average unit value.

The total gross receipts show a substantial gain over the1952 report and favorably expresses the strong position ofAgriculture in the County.

I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all theindividuals who furnish information that makes the reportpossible.

Respectfully submitted,

1{r. %V. C. Jacobsen, DirectorState Department of Agriculture

and

Board of Supervisors ofSanta Clara County

Gentlemen:

The following report is hereby submitted, and is incompliance with Section 65°5 of the State AgriculturalCode.

The report covers acreage, production, sz~d value ofall fruit, nut, vegetable, and seed crops; also, livestockand livestock products~ and bees.

The total returns for 1954 are somewhat less than in1953. The difference is largely centered in poultry andlivestock returns, and in the very light crop of apricots,which is our second largest fruit crop.

The figures were compiled from reports received frompersons familiar with the produce concerned. I believ~.they fairly well reflect the gross value to producers.

I wish to take this opportunity to express my thanksto each individual who made this report, possible.

Very truly yours,

DAVID T. RAYNERAGRICULTURAL CO~ESSIONER

Mr. W. C. Jacobson, DirectorState Department of AgricultureandBoard of Supervisors ofSanta Clara County

Gentlemen:

In compliance with Section 65.5 of the CaliforniaAgricultural Code, I am submitting the annual cropreport for the calendar year 1955.

This report covers acreage, production, and valuesof fruits, nuts, truck crops, field crops, animal in-dustry, nursery, and miscellaneous crops.

The total agricultural income for 1955 is the P~ghestin history for Santa Clara County, principally due tolarger crops and increased prices for many of the com-modities. The value shown in this report is predicatedon the price paid the producer for roadside delivery, orfirst point of delivery. The figures do not representthe net income to the producer, but do represent thegross valuation.

I wish to express my appreciation and sincere thanksto the many individuals, companies, and organizationsfor their cooperation and assistance in submitting datato make this report possible.

Very truly yours,

Mr. W. C. Jacobson~ DirectorState Department of AgricultureandThe Honorable Board of Supervisors ofSanta Clara County

Gentlemen:

In accordance with Section 65.5 of the California AgriculturalCode, I am submitting the Annual Crop Report for all crops grown inSanta Clara County during the year 1956, including animal industryand its products, nursery and the cut flower business.

An earnest effort has been made to make this report as accurateas possible, by checking our figures wibh nany sources of information,and in presenting it in a form thatwouxd be most helpful. Your atten-tion is directed to the detailed information given for each crop. Wehave given the bearing and non-bearing acreage of all fruit crops, acre-age of other crops, average yield per acre, total production, averageunit value, and total value.

The total agricultural income for 1956was slightly lower than theprevious year, due maLnly to lower prices received for walnuts, and alarge crop of sms31 prunes. The gross income for the animal industrywas also affected by lower prices.

The valuation figures shown in this report are the Toss receiptswhich the producer received for roadside or point of first delivery.The cost of the containers is included in the unit value of some com-modities. They are readily identified by the asterisk immediatelyfollowing the unit value figure.

l wlsh to take this opportunity to express my appreciation andsincere thanks to all who have made this report possible by makingtheir records and data available to the members of my Department.

Very truly yours,

Ti-~ Kono:’able Board of Supe~zisorsc, ~ tof o<~n ~a Clara County

Oc .%tleme n:

Section 65.5 of the Agricultural Code requires t~e AgriculturalCo::~nissioner to compile a report on the condition, acreage, production

and value of the agric~_Itural products of the comity. In accordancewith this requirement, ! am submitting the 1957 Agricultural Crop

R=por~ for S.m%ta Clara County.

The figures shown in this year’s report represent the gross receipts

to the gro~r at the point of production. Th~. valuss received are for

the products only~ and do not include container costs.

On this basis~ the gross return to the prod,.~oers for the commoditieslisted in this 1957 report amounts to $81~,579~9"19, as compared to$98; 268,3[~5 for 1956o The str~cingly large decrease in the total valueof our 1957 agricultural production was due mainly to lo~r prices, andin some instances~ lo,;~er production due to decrease in acreage and con-siderable crop dmuage from adverse weather conditions. It reflects,also, the deletion of the cost of containers which ~<as previously in-

cluded in the value of irony crops~

Increased production and better prices accounted for higher valuesin some crops. Nmnely~ peaches, plums, walm~t:i% pole beans, cucumbers

and cut flowers.

I ~.rish to express my sincere tharflcs to the many individuals andorganizations who so willingly contributed the l~formaulo which made

the compilation of this report possible.

Very truly yours,-)
