November 1998
We are pleased to present the results of the 1997 Michigan Fruit Inventory. This bulletin represents a cooperative effort between the private and public sectors to provide data on which Michigan’s agricultural industries depend for planning. This is the seventh report to be published under the Michigan Rotational Survey program. A fruit inventory was conducted in 1991, followed by a vegetable survey in 1992, and a nursery and Christmas tree survey in 1993. The three-year cycle has been repeated since then in a program funded by the legislature, administered by the Michigan Department of Agriculture, and conducted by the Federal/State Michigan Agricultural Statistics Service. We appreciate the cooperation and assistance of all growers who voluntarily provided the data that made this report possible. We also extend thanks to fruit processors and other industry officials, to the Michigan State University Extension Service, and to the data collectors of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. We look forward to our continued successful relationship which brings us together for the benefit of Michigan agriculture. If you have any questions regarding this publication, or suggested improvements, please contact Michigan Agricultural Statistics Service at (800) 453-7501. Sincerely,
Director
David D. Kleweno State Statistician
