A CRS fact sheet defines specialty crops under the 2004 Specialty Crops Competitiveness Act, covering fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, and nursery crops. It notes that USDA estimates farm-level specialty crop value near $60 billion.
Specialty crops are not significant feed inputs, so the definition has little bearing on feed commodity supply or prices.
