Sandie,  the USDA used to tally this kind of thing as part of its   
agricultural/horticultural statistics. I haven't sought this kind of  
statistic  in a 
while, but it might be worth checking with them, if  you haven't  already.

Lavender growers aren't one of the oddball crops that the USDA  
compiles....occasionally they will contact specialty flower growers but that's a  really 
large group.  We have a large database on lavender growers.   I'll try to pull 
something together for you.
