National Agricultural Statistics Service
Title: 2014 Census of Horticultural
Specialties.
OMB Control Number: 0535–0236.
Summary of Collection: The census of
horticultural specialties is one of a
series of census special studies for the
Census of Agriculture which provides
more detailed statistics relating to a
specific subject. The census of
horticultural specialties is an integral
part of the 2012 Census of Agriculture
and is authorized by the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008
(Title X—Horticulture and Organic
Agriculture). Since 1950 the Census of
Horticultural Specialties has been
conducted approximately every 10 years
to show how the industry has changed
over time. It was last conducted in 2009
for the reference period of 2008.
Growing data needs to make policy
decisions concerning the horticulture
industry have prompted a request from
the Secretary of Agriculture and
Congress for a 2014 Census of
Horticulture. Horticultural crops are
high value crops which farmers could
grow to diversify their farming
operations. Using data from the 2012
Census of Agriculture, NASS will
collect information from every
respondent who reported production
and sales of $10,000 or more of
horticultural specialty crops. In addition
NASS also plans to contact all new
operations that have begun producing
horticultural specialty products since
the completion of the 2012 Census of
Agriculture.
Need and Use of the Information:
NASS will collect information on the
number and value of plants grown and
sold, the value of land, buildings,
machinery and equipment, selected
production expenses, irrigation,
marketing channels, hired labor, area
used for production, and type of
structure. Horticulture is one of the
fastest growing segments in the
agriculture sector. The primary objective
of the horticultural specialties census is
to obtain a comprehensive and detailed
picture of the horticultural sector of the
economy. Without the census of

horticultural specialties, government
policy makers and planners would lack
valuable information needed to
accomplish their missions.
This is a reinstatement with change,
of the Census of Horticultural
Specialties survey to be conducted as a
follow-on survey to the 2012 Census of
Agriculture.

4214(c) of the Agriculture Act of 2014
calls for the Secretary of Agriculture to
evaluate the Canned, Frozen, or Dried
(CFD) Fruits and Vegetables pilot
project in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable
Program (FFVP) to address the impact of
giving high-need, low-income
elementary schools greater flexibility to
offer CFD fruits and vegetables in
addition to fresh produce. Schools
selected for the pilot—elementary
schools in low-income areas that have
difficulty accessing, preparing, or
storing fresh produce—will design and
implement their pilots to best suit their
needs. The FFVP is intended to improve
overall diet quality by teaching children
more healthful eating habits.
Need and Use of the Information: The
evaluation of the CFD pilot project has
four broad study objectives: (1) To
examine the impacts on student’s fruit
and vegetable consumption in pilot
schools; (2) To describe the impacts of
the pilot on school participants in
FFVP; (3) To describe the
implementation strategies used by
schools; and (4) To describe the
acceptance of the pilot by key
stakeholders. The evaluation will
provide the Food and Nutrition Service
(FNS) with the data and essential
information needed to answer the
study’s objectives and research
questions.
