This table offers a more complete view of the most important agricultural products of Michigan.
The 2004 table above contains information about Michigan agricultural production provided by the Economic Research Service at the United States Department of Agriculture.
The first column of the table lists the product (commodity).
The second column of the table lists a number representing the dollar value of the product. This number is not the dollar value of the product. This number represents the dollar value of the product in thousands of dollars. For example, the number listed for the value of dairy products produced in Michigan is 1,020,380. This number represents a dollar value of $1,020,380,000 (1,020,380 x 1,000): one billion, twenty million, three hundred and eighty thousand dollars.
The third column of the table lists the percent (part) of the total agricultural value produced in Michigan. For example, dairy products account for 23.7% of Michigan's total agricultural production value. The dollars generated by dairy products add up to a little over 1/5 of Michigan's total agricultural production.
