About the DataNote: For Congressional districts that encompass parts of counties, the data for the entire county were added to the total for the District. As a result, the sum of all the districts exceeds the reported state totals.

Economic Impact Analysis

The economic impacts of Texas agricultural production, farm program payments and agricultural exports are included for the major categories of agricultural output for each Congressional District. For production and farm program payments, these im-pacts represent the amount of economic activity required to support a given level of production. In the case of exports, the impacts represent the amount of economic activity attributable to a given level of exports. For each category of agricultural output, payment or exports, the impact on Business Activity, Labor Income, Other Income, and Jobs were estimated using the IMPLAN input-output model available from the Minnesota IMPLAN Group, Inc. This technique allows for quantifying interactions between fi rms, industries, and social institutions within counties, across Texas and the United States. The focus of this analysis was on the state and Congressional Districts, which represent county aggregation.

Business Activity is defi ned as the change in total business sales by all sectors of the economy in a specifi ed region attributable to a one-time increase in production, farm program payments or exports.

Labor Income is defi ned as all forms of employment income and represents the sum of wages, salaries, profi ts and rents attribut-able to a one-time change in production, farm program payments or exports.

Other Income represents payments made by industries for interest, taxes and other types of income. When Other Income and Labor Income are combined, it is referred to as Value Added.

Employment is the actual number of jobs attributable to a one-time change in production, farm program payment or exports.

This analysis assumes that all prices and technology remain fi xed.
