COTTON: United States production expected to total 7.72 million bales, up

1 percent from December 1 but 35 percent less than last year's
production. Upland estimated at 7.63 million bales and American pima at 90.5
thousand bales. Yield per acre at 506 pounds, down 84 pounds from record high
590 pounds in 1982.

Harvested area estimated at 7.33 million acres (2.97 million hectares), up
3 percent from December 1 due to lower than expected abandoment in Texas, but
25 percent below 1982.

Southeastern States production estimated at 394 thousand bales, down 1
percent from Oecember 1 and 59 percent less than last year.

Production in Delta States estimated at 1.99 million bales, virtually

Texas and Oklahoma upland production at 2.50 million bales, up 2 percent
from last month but down 15 percent from 1982. Favorable growing conditions
during October and open harvest weather in November and December reduced
expected abandonment in Texas. Acres for harvest estimated at 3.50 million in
Texas compared with 3.30 million December 1.

Western States upland production estimated at 2.74 million bales, up 1
percent from last month but down 36 percent from last year. Harvest in final

1, 1984 compared with 10,574,010 bales ginned to the same date in 1983 and
13,460,093 bales for the 1981 crop.

COTTONSEED: Production based on three year lint-seed ratio estimated at 3.11
million tons (2.82 million metric tons), 35 percent below 1982
production,

ORANGES: U.S. production forecast at 184 million boxes (7.15 million metric

~ tons), down 17 percent from December 1, 18 percent less than last
season, but 4 percent above the 1981-1982 season. Forecast a1] oranges in
Florida, 129 million boxes, down 23 percent from last month and 8 percent less

million boxes, down 21 percent from December 1 forecast~-but 5 percent more
than last season. Valencia forecast now 55.0 million boxes, 26 percent below
December 1 forecast and 21 percent below last season.

California crop forecast 49.0 millfon boxes, up 7 percent from last month,
but 36 percent Tess than record high production harvested last season. Navel
crop, 30.0 million boxes, up 11 percent from December 1, 25 percent below last
season's record high crop. Valencia forecast, 19.0 million boxes, unchanged
from December 1, 47 percent less than record high crop last season. The
1982-83 California Valencia crop produttion has been revised to 35.9 million
boxes due to a longer than usual marketing season, which ended December 15,
1983.

Arizona all orange forecast, 3.00 million boxes, 6 percent below
December 1 and 21 percent less than last season. Texas crop--3.00 million
boxes, down 43 percent from last month, 47 percent below 1982-83.

Changes in U.S. production between January 1 forecast and final production
have averaged 16.0 million boxes over past ten seasons, ranging from 580
thousand boxes in 1982-83 to 43.2 million boxes in 1981-82. Freeze in
Florida, during January 1982 major cause for 43.2 million box difference
between Janaury 1, 1982 and final estimate.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production forecast at 4.40 million pounds (2000

metric tons) for January, unchanged from December, but 23 percent
above year ago. Fresh production expected to decline seasonally in February
and March to 3.90 and 3.40 million pounds (1770 and 1540 metric tons},
respectively, before increasing to 4.70 million pounds (2130 metric tons) in
April.

December production estimated at 4.40 million pounds (2000 metric tons), a
27 percent decline from previous month, but 8 percent above year ago level.
Total area in crop increased 1 percent to 3650 acres (1480 hectares) in
December a record high for fifth consecutive month. Of this total area, 2285
acres (920 hectares) were harvested, a 4 percent increase from previous month.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks on farms January 1, 1984, 90.7 million tons (82.3

million metric tons), 1S percent less than a year ago,
and 9 percent below January 1, 1982. Reduced stocks from January 1, 1983 are
due to lower production and increased feeding during harsh winter.

Disappearance May 1, 1983 to January 1, 1984, 81.3 miTlion tons (73.8
million metric tons), 14 percent more than same period a year earlier.

POTATOES: The 1984 winter potato crop forecast 2.68 million cwt (121 thousand
metric tons), up 22 percent from 1983 and 18 percent above two years

ago.

California winter potato crop 1.34 million cwt, a gain of 6 percent from
Yast year, primarily because of increased acreage. Average yield expected 240
cwt per acre, down 30 cwt per acre from 1983. Planting completed last week of
December. Stands and progress good with little damage from holiday freezes.
Harvest of early fields expected Tate January.

In Florida, winter potatoes forecast 1.33 million cwt this year, up 44
percent from 1983. Acreage and expected yield both up from last year,
although some fields frost damaged in Martin County.

Revised 1983 spring potato production totaled 18.3 million cwt (831
thousand metric tons), down 17 percent from 1982 and 12 percent from 1981.
Area harvested 77.4 thousand acres (31.3 thousand hectares), down 1 percent
from both of the last two years. Average yield fell to 237 cwt per acre,
after posting a near record 264 cwt in 1982.

CROP PRODUCTION, JANUARY 1984 7 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


FLORIDA GENERAL CITRUS: Citrus groves located in the lower east coast, lower
west coast and south central part of Florida generally
had very little damage from freezing temperatures December 25 and 26. Most
other citrus growing areas had varying degrees of fruit icing depending on the
location and number of hours below 28 degrees~-conditions prevailing in many
north central and central citrus groves. Soil moisture was generally very
good when the freeze occurred, however, temperatures were above normal during
all of December prior to the Christmas freeze. It is still too early to
determine twig or wood damage. There will be considerable defoliation where
temperatures were below 26 degrees for long period of time. The last week of
December, harvest of freeze-damaged early and mid-season oranges increased
rapidly as all processing plants started operating 24 hours a day, 7 days a
week.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: Forecast 1983-84 Florida FCOJ yield
is mow 1.23 gallons per box at 42.0
degrees Brix equivalent. The yield forecast is an estimate of the season
average which will be reported at end of the season by the Florida Citrus
Processor's Association. The FCO3J yield projection last month was 1.43
gallons per box. Final season average for 1982-83 was 1.48305 galtons per box
and 1.27730 gatlons per box for 1981-82 at 42.0 degrees Brix equivalent.

GRAPEFRUIT: Production forecast, including California‘’s “other areas” grape-

fruit, 54.0 million boxes (2.01 million metric tons), down 15 per-
cent from December 1 forecast, 6 percent less than last season. First
forecast California's “other areas" crop will be April 1. Production for
California 1982-83 “other areas" crop 3.20 million boxes. Florida all
grapefruit forecast 43.0 million baxes--down 7 percent from last month, but 9
percent above 1982-83 crop. Texas forecast, 4.50 million boxes, down 61
percent from December 1, and 60 percent less than last season. California
"Desert Valley" forecast remains at 4.20 million boxes, 2 percent more than
1982-83 harvest. Arizona forecast, now 2.30 million boxes, up 5 percent from
previous month, but 15 percent less than last season. As of January 1, 13.2
million boxes had been harvested this year, or 24 percent of the U.S.
grapefruit crop, compared with 17.1 million boxes, or 28 percent of the U.S.
crop January 1, a year ago.

LEMON:

Arizona and California expect 26.3 million boxes (905 thousand metric
tons), 1 percent less than December 1, but 5 percent above last
season. Harvest is 28 percent complete--slower than last year's pace.
Picking continues in all districts with movement from the important southern
coastal area to be in full volume by March. Fruit quality and color are
excellent.

TANGELOS: Florida crop, excluding K-early citrus fruit, 3.20 miltion boxes

(131 thousand metric tons), unchanged from December 1, 16 percent
less than 1982-83. Picking was active during December with about 83 percent
complete by month's end.

TANGERINES: Forecast at 4.80 million boxes (181 thousand metric tons), down 17

percent from December 1, 9 percent less than last season. Harvest
virtually complete in Florida. Harvest of California desert area tangerines
and central valley Satsuma mandarins remains active.

TEMPLES: Florida forecast 2.50 million boxes (103 thousand metric tons), down
44 percent from December 1, 47 percent below last season. As of
danuary 1, only 2 percent had been harvested.

DECEMBER HARVESTING PROGRESS

Torrential rains during earty Oecember stowed harvest and flooded iow
lying areas of the Delta States and Southeast. Standina water damaged some
soybeans remaining for harvest in those areas and wet fields continued to
delay completion of fieldwork in northern areas. At midmonth, harvest of the
remaining acreage of corn and soybeans moved ahead over frozen fields in the
Corn Bett until late in the month when snow stopped harvest. Only a few
fields remain for harvest in most areas. Sleet and freezing rain halted
soybean harvesting in the Southeast as the month ended. Cotton harvesting was
ahead of schedule during December and centered on the southern Plains and the
Southwest. At the month's end, harvesting was virtually comolete except in
New Mexico and the southern Plains where snow, ice, and freezing rain
prevented completion. Harvest reached 98% completion by December 25, compared
with 94% average. Except for the Southwest, Arctic air covered the Nation
late in the month and brought record Jows in many areas. Freezing
temperatures moved into the Rio Grande Valley of Texas and central Florida
causing severe damage to citrus and vegetables. Growers salvaged some
vegetables and citrus and replanted vegetable fields as the month ended.

DECEMBER WEATHER SUMMARY

A succession of frigid arctic outbreaks pushed into to northern Plains
early in the month and by the third week had covered all of the Nation except
the Southwest. Many record low temperatures were broken, The third week of
the month was one of the coldest of record. Frigid air pushed into the
vegetable and citrus areas of southern Texas and then moved eastward and
covered much of Florida. Low temperatures below 20°F severely damaged
citrus fruit and trees and destroyed vegetables. After three days of freezing
weather, afternoon temperatures rose to 80°F in central Florida and tempered
the salvage operation. Snow covered the ground in much of the Nation offering
a protective blanket to winter grains. Snow cover reached as far south as
northern Texas, over the Appalachians and through the Northeast. Freezing
rain fell from eastern Texas and Arkansas to northern Georgia and through the
East Coast States into the Northeast. In contrast to the severely cold
weather the Southwest remained warmer than normal all month. At the end of
the month warmer Pacific air moved into the West and temperatures rose to
above freezing for the first time in many weeks over the Plateau, the Rackies,
and the yin Plains. (Prepared by NOAA/USOA Joint Agricultural Weather
Facility.

WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat seeding was finished in most areas by early December except
in California and in some southeastern areas where a smal? portion of the crop
had not been seeded. Nationally, wheat had emerged on 93% of the acreage.
Progress lagged normal only in parts of Colorado and Kansas where dry soils
had delayed seedings and slowed emergence. Precipitation was needed from
western Kansas southward.

Abnormally cold weather pushed into the Nations midsection at midmonth
threatening wheat with possible winterkill. Wowever, most areas had sufficient
snow cover to protect the crop. Late in the month, Arctic air covered the
Nation except in the Southwest. Snow cover provided winter wheat with
adequate protection from freezing temperatures in most producing areas, except
in the southern Plains and portions of the Pacific Northwest where some
winterkil? of Jate-planted stands is expected, Rain and ice delayed
completion of seeding across the South, Wheat was in fair to mostly good
condition in all producing areas as the month ended. Overwintering conditions
were generally good from Kansas northward. Wheat was dormant in Oklahoma and
Producers in the western part of the State were concerned about possible
winterkill of late-planted fields. Growth was limited by freezing
temperatures in Texas; some burning of foliage was evident. Stands were in
good condition in Montana. Snow cover was adequate and wind damage was
minimal.
