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.

2004 Value of Agricultural Production

The data on the 2004 value of agricultural production were obtained from the Texas Cooperative Extension publication entitled “Texas: Estimated Value of Agricultural Production and Related Items, 2001-2004, 2005 Projected, State and Extension Districts” by A.C. Smith and C.G. Anderson. Estimated value is derived from annual surveys of County Extension Agents, Extension Program Councils, agribusiness leaders, Extension Specialists, and District Extension Directors from all 254 counties in Texas.

Farm Program Payments

Data pertaining to farm program payments by county were obtained from Ted Peabody, Commodity Compliance Division Chief with the Texas Farm Service Agency. Note that for some crops, the 2004 counter-cyclical payment amount is not a fi nal number.

2004 Value of Agricultural Exports

The 2004 value of Texas agricultural exports was derived from the 2004 value of production data and USDA, Foreign Agricultural Service data from the U.S. Trade Internet System at http://www.fas.usda/ustrade/.

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.
