NOVEMBER WEATHER SUMMARY

Recurrent rains benefited drought-stricken areas of the Southeast and the
Pacific Northwest. A Veterans Day snowstorm pummeled the Middle Atlantic
~States and the Northeast. Severe weather occurred in the Southwest during the
first week of the month, then in the Southeast the last two weeks.
Thanksgiving Day storms produced heavy snow in the central and southern
Rockies and in northern New England, and rainshowers throughout much of the
East. Wetness in the East persisted to the end of the month. (Prepared by the
Joint USDA/NOAA Agricultural Weather Facility.)

ROW CROP HARVEST

Warm, dry weather pushed row crops near completion in the Corn Belt and
northern and central Great Plains by mid-November. Precipitation plagued
soybean and cotton harvest in the Delta, southern Great Plains, and Southeast
the second half of the month.

Corn harvest was virtually finished by the first week of November.
Harvest was finished in the Southeast and neared completion in most other
States. On November 8, harvest was less than 90 percent finished in Colorado,
Michigan, and Pennsylvania. In the 17 major producing States, 76 percent
would normally be harvested by this date, but 97 percent was finished this
year. By the end of November, a few acres remained to be harvested in
Colorado, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

In 19 major producing States, soybeans were 96 percent harvested on
November 15. Normally 84 percent would be harvested, and last year 83 percent
was harvested by this date. Despite the rapid harvest progress, quite a few
acres still remained to be harvested in the Southeast. The second half of the
month rain interfered with soybean harvest in the Delta and Southeast. On
November 29, Georgia's harvest was 91 percent finished compared with 75
percent average. Harvest neared completion in Alabama, Arkansas, and
Louisiana. North Carolina harvest ended the month 80 percent finished, 25
points ahead of normal. In South Carolina, harvest reached 78 percent
completion compared with 53 percent, normally.

At the end of October, cotton harvest was 11 points ahead of normal but
dropped to 2 points ahead of normal by November 29. Wetness impeded cotton
harvest in the southern Great Plains and Southeast during most of the month.
At the end of the month, harvest was 76 percent finished. Harvest neared
completion in California, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
Oklahoma's harvest surged to 40 percent completion the last week of November
and was 5 points ahead of normal. Texas harvest reached 51 percent
completion, 2 points behind normal, New Mexico's harvest trailed 8 points
behind the 67 percent average.

WINTER WHEAT SEEDING

Dryness, followed by rain, delayed winter wheat seeding in the Southeast,
Delta, and southern Great Plains during most of November. However, the
moisture was needed for germination and growth. By midmonth seeding was
finished except in these areas and along the west coast. California seeding
reached the halfway point at month's end. Seeding was 68 and 86 percent
finished in South Carolina and North Carolina, respectively. Fifty-eight
percent of the acreage was seeded in Georgia. Inadequate moisture plagued
winter wheat development in the northern and central Great Plains the first
half of the month. In Kansas, some wheat had trouble establishing proper root
systems before dormancy. By the end of the month, wheat streak mosaic disease
was at epidemic proportions in Kansas except in the eastcentral and
southeastern part. Leaf rust was prevalent statewide. Greenbugs and aphids
were active from North Dakota to Texas. Colder temperatures slowed insects in
some areas but were not severe enough to eradicate them entirely.

Florida's grapefruit forecast is 51.0 million boxes, up 2 percent from
last season and 9 percent above the 1985-86 season. The Florida white
seedless grapefruit forecast is 27.0 million boxes, up fractionally from last
season; colored seedless is 20.5 million boxes, up 3 percent; and seedy
grapefruit, at 3.50 million boxes, is 21 percent higher than 1986-87.

The California desert grapefruit forecast is 4.20 million boxes, the same
as last season. Arizona's grapefruit crop is forecast at 2.10 million boxes,
down 5 percent from last season. The Texas grapefruit forecast is 3.10
million boxes compared with 1.93 million boxes last season.

TANGELOS: The Florida tangelo crop forecast is 4.00 million boxes (163
thousand metric tons), the same as last season but 36 percent above
the 1985-86 crop.

TANGERINES: The U.S. al) tangerine forecast is 4.20 million boxes (163

thousand metric tons), 20 percent below last season and 6 percent
Yess than the harvest in 1985-86. This forecast includes all varieties of
tangerines in Florida (Dancy, Robinson, and Honey), as well as production of
California and Arizona tangerines. Per program modification, Florida Honey
tangerines are now included in the State and U.S. totals. Production
estimates shown for previous seasons have been revised for comparison purposes
with the new crop forecasts.

TEMPLES: Florida's temple forecast is 3.40 million boxes (139 thousand metric
tons), the same as last season's production but 15 percent higher
than 1985-86.

FLORIDA CITRUS: Most of Florida's citrus trees and groves are in very good

condition. There has been above average rainfall in al] areas
with some counties recording record amounts. Cooler than normal temperatures
have slowed tree growth. Early oranges, most grapefruit, tangelos, and Dancy
tangerines are showing good fruit coloring. Harvest of Navels and early
oranges increased rapidly during November as many crops were passing maturity
tests. Weekly harvest of grapefruit during November was in the 600,000 to
900,000 box range. Picking of Robinson tangerines was very active in
November. This is the peak harvest month for these zipper skin fruit.
Movement of tangelos increased throughout the month as more crops matured. By
the end of November, most of the processing plants had opened on a limited
basis with some plants just receiving packinghouse elimination fruit.

TEXAS CITRUS: Harvest of early oranges and grapefruit is progressing nicely in

the Rio Grande Valley. Quality and appearance is good. Fruit
movement for fund raising and gift packages is increasing. The first shipment
of the new variety of grapefruit--Rio Red-- was completed during November.
Supplies will be limited this season.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS AND NUTS: November was characterized by timely rain storms.

Harvest of deciduous crops has now reached comple-
tion, Emperor table grapes was the last variety packed this season. Avocados,
dates and persimmons were still being harvested through November. Navel orange
harvest started with good quality, color and large sizes. Oesert lemon, grape-
fruit and tangerine harvests progressed, with good quality. Normal fall
cultural practices continued in orchards with pruning and application of
herbicides and fertilizer the major activities.

RELIABILITY OF DECEMBER 1 COTTON PRODUCTION FORECAST

The cotton production forecast in this report is based primarily on an
objective yield survey made during the last week in November and reports from
cotton ginners as of December 1. Some adjustments have been made in harvested
acres based on acreage data from ASCS. The objective yield survey provided
small plot observations, counts and measurements based on a_ probability
sample. This survey is subject to sampling and non-sampling errors that are
common to all surveys. The forecast is also subject to change due to future
weather effects and other factors that cannot be measured currently but
directly affect production.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December 1 cotton
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviations
between the December 1 production forecasts and the final estimates as a
percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations
for the 1967-86 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes
statistically the “Root Mean Square Error", Probability statements can be
made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's
forecast are not different from those influencing recent years.

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the December 1 cotton production forecast
is 1.8 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current
production forecast of 14.3 million bales will not be above or below the fina
estimate by more than 1.8 percent or approximately 257 thousand bales.
Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will
not exceed 3.1 percent or approximately 443 thousand bales.

Differences between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during
the past 10 years have averaged 166 thousand bales, ranging from 3 thousand to
399 thousand bales. The December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate
6 times and above 4 times.

COTTON: All cotton production is forecast at 14.3 million bales, 47 percent

above the 1986 crop and 2 percent above November 1. The Upland
production forecast is for 14.0 million bales and American Pima production is
expected to total a record high 243 thousand bales. Upland production is the
highest since 1981 when 15.6 million bales were harvested. Total area for
harvest for all cotton is estimated at 9.87 million acres (3.99 million
hectares), up 17 percent from last: year but down 1 percent from the November 1
estimate. Yields are expected to average a record high 695 pounds per
harvested acre, up 143 pounds from 1986 and 65 pounds per acre above the
previous record high established in 1985.

In Texas and Oklahoma, Upland production is forecast at 4.70 million
bales, up 71 percent from last year and 4 percent above the November 1
forecast. Ideal harvest conditions existed during the month in Texas and
Okiahoma resulting in substantia? gains in harvest. Many gins have developed
backlogs because of the rapid harvest. Record high yields are expected in
Texas and Oklahoma.

Production in the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, and Tennessee) is forecast at 4.62 million bales, 51 percent above
Tast year and up I percent from November 1. Harvest is virtually complete in
the region. Record high yields are expected in all States, except Mississippi.

Upland production in the Western States (Arizona, California, and New
Mexico) is expected to total 3.73 million bales, up 25 percent from last year
and 3 percent above the November 1] forecast. Record high yields are expected
in Arizona and California. Harvest progress is running slightly ahead of last
year.

PAPAYAS: Fresh papaya production from Hawaii is forecast at 5.80 million

pounds (2630 metric tons) in December, 31 percent more than December
1986. Output is expected to decline during the first quarter of 1988 and
production to total 5.00 million pounds (2270 metric tons) in January, 3.30
million pounds (1500 metric tons) in February, and 2.50 million pounds (1130
metric tons) in March. The January production, if realized, will be 14
percent greater than January production a year ago. February and March
Pogauct ion will be 8 and 28 percent less, respectively, than the comparable

7 months.

November fresh utilization is estimated at 5.78 million pounds, (2620
metric tons), 5 percent lower than October but 39 percent higher than last
November. Year-to-date fresh sates were 10 percent more than the same
ll-month period in 1986. Crop area in November totaled 4095 acres (1660
hectares), up 1 percent from October and 2 percent above last November. Area
harvested totaled 2440 acres (990 hectares), 2 percent lower than October but
8 percent higher than a year ago.

ORANGES: U.S. production is forecast at 186 million boxes (7.23 million metric

tons), 2 percent above both the October 1 forecast and last season
and 6 percent higher than 1985-86. The forecast of all oranges in Florida is
130 million boxes, unchanged from the October 1 forecast, 9 percent higher
than last season's crop and also 9 percent above 1985-86. The forecast for
early and mid-season varieties in Florida is 72.0 million boxes, 9 percent
higher than last season and 12 percent above the 1985-86 crop. Harvest of
Florida early and mid-season oranges is 4 percent complete. The Valencia
forecast, at 58.0 million boxes, is 8 percent higher than last season and 5
percent above the 1985-86 crop.

The California all orange crop forecast, at 52.0 million boxes, is up 6
percent from October 1 but 11 percent below last season. The forecast for
Navel oranges is 28.0 million boxes, up 8 percent from the October 1 forecast
but 19 percent less than last season and 15 percent below 1985-86 production.
Harvest of the Navel crop as of December 1 was about 10 percent complete.

Quality is good with mostly large size fruit. California's Valencia
forecast of 24.0 million boxes is up 4 percent from the October 1 forecast,
equals last season's production, and is 15 percent higher than the 1985-86
crop. The Texas all orange forecast is 1.35 million boxes, unchanged from
October 1 and compares with 875 thousand boxes harvested for last season.

Changes in U.S. production between December 1 and final production have
averaged 19.8 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from 300
thousand boxes in 1977-78 to 53.0 million boxes in 1983-84. The freeze that
occurred in Florida and Texas during December 1983 was the major cause for the
53.0 million box difference between the December 1, 1983 and final production
for the 1983-84 season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1987-88 forecast of all Frozen

Concentrated Orange Juice for Florida
is 1.46 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix. The forecast is projected to
estimate the final yield as reported by the Florida Citrus Processors
Association. The 1986-87 yield for all fruit used in FCOJ was 1.50827 gallons
per box at 42 degrees Brix. This was a record high yield in the 21-year
series. The average yield of 14 non-freeze seasons in this series is 1.4160
gallons per box.

GRAPEFRUIT: Prospects for the 1987-88 season, excluding California's “Other

Areas" grapefruit, indicate a crop of 60.4 million boxes (2.26
million metric tons), 4 percent above the previous season and 14 percent
higher than the 1985-86 season. The California "Other Areas“ grapefruit crop,
which will be forecast as of April 1, 1988, accounted for 4.90 million boxes
harvested last season and 4.50 million boxes in 1985-86.

Producers in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
and South Carolina), expect to harvest 960 thousand bales, up 35 percent from
last year but down 2 percent from November 1. Harvest is complete in Alabama
and North Carolina and near completion in Georgia and South Carolina.

Bureau of the Census reported 11,082,067 running bales ginned prior to
December 1 compared with 7,491,483 to the same date last year and 10,051,719
bales in 1985.

COTTONSEED: Production of cottonseed for 1987, based on a three year average

lint-seed ratio, is forecast at 5.62 million tons (5.10 million
metric tons), 48 percent above the 1986 production of 3.80 million tons (3.45
million metric tons).

BURLEY TOBACCO: Production of burley tobacco is forecast at 453 million pounds

(206 thousand metric tons), 11 percent above 1986 but per-
cent below the November 1 forecast. Yield per acre is expected to average
2012 pounds, 76 pounds more than a year ago.

Burley auction markets opened November 23. Sales for the first 8 days
totaled 243 million pounds compared with 286 million pounds for the first 8
sales days a year ago.

DRY BEANS: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 25.6 million cwt

(1.16 million metric tons), up 12 percent from last year and 16
percent above two years ago. Harvested area is set at 1.67 million acres (675
thousand hectares), up 12 percent from last year and 13 percent above 1985.
The average yield came in at 1536 pounds per acre, up 5 pounds from last year
and 39 pounds above two years ago.

Navy bean production of 7.40 million cwt more than doubled last year's low
output. California's blackeye (peas) are up 51 percent. Red kidney beans
gained 27 percent; while small whites were two and a half times greater. The
down side pinto and great northern beans were both down 8 percent. Black
turtle soup beans fell to only 28 percent of last year's crop. Pink bean
production dropped 41 percent.

In Michigan, hot summer weather during the bloom period blasted early
blossoms. Pod set was late, coming mostly from secondary bloom. Favorable
fall weather allowed most of these late pods to mature properly leading to
near normal yields, although some late fields were lost to frost damage. Hai
damage in Nebraska wiped out several thousand acres of beans and reduced
yields. In most other States, planting was early and development normal.
Harvest was virtually finished by December Ist.

PECANS: The December 1 forecast for the U.S. all pecan crop is 256 million
pounds (116 thousand metric tons), in-shell basis, 12 percent lower
than the October 1 forecast and 6 percent below last year's utilized crop.

Weather patterns during October and November turned extremely dry in many
areas of the pecan belt. The dry weather caused a loss in nut weight and
shucks being very Tate opening or sticking to the hull. A number of growers
are saying they will not make a second harvest for the "“stick-tights"
especially in view of the low price market situation. Some States in the
Mississippi River basin and west of the Mississippi are reporting that the
spring freeze caused more damage than earlier expected and nut kernels did not
fill normally because of drought conditions this summer and fall. Below
normal temperatures during October throughout most pecan areas slowed
development and actually prevented development in some groves as some nuts are
still green on the trees. The main concern for producers is the overall poor
quality of the nuts they have harvested. The lack of moisture during the
critical period of growth resulted in shriveled kernels and insect damage in
some areas has also been a problem.
