NAICS 111 - Crop production Ownership: Private Sector
Oregon Statewide
Industry Definition
Industries in the Crop Production subsector grow crops mainly for food and fiber. The subsector comprises establishments, such as farms, orchards, groves, greenhouses, and nurseries, primarily engaged in growing crops, plants, vines, or trees and their seeds.
The industries in this subsector are grouped by similarity of production activity, including biological and physiological characteristics and economic requirements, the length of growing season, degree of crop rotation, extent of input specialization, labor requirements, and capital demands. The production process is typically completed when the raw product or commodity grown reaches the ''farm gate'' for market, that is, at the point of first sale or price determination.
Establishments are classified to the crop production subsector when crop production (i.e., value of crops for market) accounts for one-half or more of the establishment's total agricultural production. Within the subsector, establishments are classified to a specific industry when a product or industry family of products (i.e., oilseed and grain farming, vegetable and melon farming, fruit and tree nut farming) account for one-half or more of the establishment's agricultural production. Establishments with one-half or more crop production with no one product or family of products of an industry accounting for one-half of the establishment's agricultural production are treated as general combination crop farming and are classified in Industry 11199, All Other Crop Farming.
Industries in the Crop Production subsector include establishments that own, operate, and manage and those that operate and manage. Those that manage only are classified in Subsector 115, Support Activities for Agriculture and Forestry.
Code changes (or 'non-economic code changes') occur when a correction is made to
a firm's industry classification or county. Consequently, the net employment changes shown in this column do not reflect actual economic events
and must be taken into account when analyzing trends across multiple years. Any such adjustments are made in January of each year.
Currently, code change data is available for private-sector industries only. Changes of 5% or more are indicated by a 'CC' note on the employment chart.
