Abstract
Excerpts from the report: In 1962 U. S. production of truck crops for fresh market and processing occupied 3.4 million acres of cropland. These crops used slightly more than 1 percent of the total cropland. The farm value of truck crops harvested for sale exceeded $1.2 billion, or an average of $357 per acre harvested. This is the seventh in a group of 12 publications containing information on labor requirements, production practices, and costs involved in the production of truck crops for fresh market and processing. Information in this report was obtained from 121 producers in Monterey County, Calif.
