Source: USDA NASS Vegetables 2024 Summary, state-by-crop tables (area harvested, yield per acre, price per cwt), 2024. Yield is USDA's hundredweight figure × 100; price is its price per hundredweight ÷ 100; sales per acre is yield × price.
USDA combines fresh-market and processing sales, so for crops mostly sold to processors the price runs low. USDA surveys only the larger vegetable states and crops; a missing crop means USDA didn't report it, not that nobody grows it.
Prices are what growers received on average. Direct-market and specialty sales often bring more; your own sales records are always better.
