Analysis
NAICS 111219 is the 2022 national industry for other vegetable (except potato) and melon farming, part of 11121 (Vegetable and Melon Farming). Census lists 67 example activities under it in the official index.
Census lists 7 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 111211, 111991, 111419 and 111130. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include acorn squash farming, field, bedding plant and seed…, artichoke farming, field, bedding plant and seed production, asparagus farming, field, bedding plant and seed production and bean (except dry) farming, field and seed production, among 67 in all.
Its goods appear in 135 statistical lines of the US tariff schedule, mostly under headings 0709 (other vegetables, fresh or chilled), 1209 (seeds, fruits and spores of a kind used for sowing) and 0702 (). That link is how import data is matched to domestic producers, for example in trade-remedy cases.
For example, growing potatoes, including sweet potatoes and yams are classified in 111211 (Potato Farming) instead.
County Business Patterns does not cover crop and animal production, so there is no establishment count for it; farms are counted by the Census of Agriculture instead.
