Minor Decline in Processing Vegetable AreaWASHINGTON - Jul 8/05 - SNS -- Vegetable processors have contracted 1.22 million acres to be planted to the 5 major vegetable crops (snap beans, sweet corn, cucumbers for pickles, green peas, and tomatoes), according to the latest USDA crop production estimates. This acreage is down less than 1% from last year for comparable States. Acreage increases for cucumbers for pickles, sweet corn, snap beans, and green peas were more than offset by a decrease in tomatoes from last year's comparable States.
