Other Spring Wheat Production Up 3 Percent from 2004

All Orange Production Down 2 Percent from June

Winter wheat production is forecast at 1.53 billion bushels. This is down 1 percent from last month but

2 percent above 2004. The U.S. yield is forecast at 44.5 bushels per acre, up 0.4 bushel from last month. 

Area harvested for grain totals 34.3 million acres, unchanged from the Acreage report released on

June 30, 2005, but down 2 percent from the June 1 forecast.

Hard Red Winter, at 924 million bushels, is down 4 percent from a month ago. Soft Red Winter, at

315 million bushels, is up 5 percent from the last forecast. White Winter is up 1 percent from last month and

now totals 287 million bushels. Of this total, 27.0 million bushels are Hard White and 260 million bushels

are Soft White.

Durum wheat production is forecast at 94.1 million bushels, up 5 percent from 2004. The U.S. yield is

forecast at 38.4 bushels per acre, 0.4 bushel more than last year.

Other Spring wheat production is forecast at 589 million bushels, up 3 percent from 2004. The U.S. yield is

forecast at 43.2 bushels per acre, unchanged from last year’s record high. Of the total production, 552 million

bushels are Hard Red Spring wheat, up 5 percent from last season.

The U.S. all orange July 1 forecast for the 2004-05 season is 9.00 million tons, down 2 percent from the

June 1 forecast and 30 percent below last season's final utilization of 12.9 million tons. Florida's all orange

forecast, at 150 million boxes (6.73 million tons), is down 1 percent from the previous forecast and 38 percent

below the previous season. The early and midseason forecast in Florida is 79.1 million boxes (3.56 million

tons), virtually unchanged from last month but 37 percent below the previous season. Harvest of the early

and midseason varieties is complete, making this the smallest early-mid-navels crop since the 1989-90 season. 

Florida’s Valencia forecast is 70.5 million boxes (3.17 million tons), down 2 percent from the June forecast

and 39 percent below last season's final utilization. The decrease in utilized production is due to near record

high amounts of rainfall during June, which delayed and hampered harvest throughout the month and led to

some loss of fruit.

California's all orange forecast for July is 58.0 million boxes (2.18 million tons), down 5 percent from the

April 1 forecast but 12 percent above last season's final utilization. Navel oranges are forecast at 43.0 million

boxes (1.61 million tons), unchanged from April's forecast but 13 percent more than the previous season. 

Harvest of navel oranges is complete. The forecast for Valencia oranges is 15.0 million boxes (563,000 tons),

down 17 percent from the previous forecast but 7 percent above last season's utilization. The Texas forecast

for all oranges is 1.77 million boxes (75,000 tons), 11 percent below the April 1 forecast but 7 percent above

last season's final utilization. Arizona's all orange forecast, at 430,000 boxes (16,000 tons), is unchanged

from the April 1 forecast but 9 percent below the previous season.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield for the 2004-05 season is forecast at 1.58 gallons

per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, down from last month’s estimated 1.60 gallons per box. The early-midseason

portion is unchanged and final at 1.53 gallons per box. The Valencia portion is reduced to 1.68 gallons from

1.71 gallons per box in June. Maturity levels for the late Valencia portion were altered by heavy rainfall in

June, which delayed harvest. All projections of yield assume that the processing relationship this year will be

similar to those of the past several years.

Winter Wheat: Head Population

The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in 10 winter wheat

estimating States during 2005. Randomly selected plots in winter wheat fields are visited monthly from May

through harvest to obtain specific counts and measurements. Data in this table are actual field counts from

this survey. The final number of heads is determined when the plots are harvested.

June Weather Summary

The Plains and the Midwest served as a transition zone between wet conditions across northern and western

portions of the regions and worsening drought farther south and east. On the northern Plains, abundant

moisture reserves were generally favorable for winter wheat and spring-sown crops, although excessively wet

conditions and rare summer flooding developed in parts of North Dakota and adjacent areas. Farther south,

the winter wheat harvest hastily progressed on the central and southern Plains under mostly dry conditions. A

late-month increase in shower activity on the central and southern Plains slowed final wheat harvesting but

provided much-needed moisture for pastures and dryland summer crops. Significant June rains failed to

materialize, however, in a broad area stretching from the western half of the Gulf Coast region northeastward

into the central Corn Belt. In the latter region, Illinois bore the brunt of deteriorating conditions for corn and

soybeans due to diminishing soil moisture reserves and occasional heat stress. Very dry weather also

prevailed during June in much of the Ohio Valley and the Northeast, continuing a rapid change from

excessively wet conditions earlier in the year. Farther south, however, near-record to record June wetness

prevailed in Florida. Elsewhere in the Southeast, late-month showers reversed a brief drying trend. 

Meanwhile, several large wildfires flared in the Southwest under seasonably dry conditions, following

abundant winter precipitation. In contrast, showery weather in the Northwest continued to provide recovery

from excessively dry conditions that gripped the region until March.

Near-record to record June warmth in the Great Lakes and Northeastern States contrasted with cooler-thannormal weather across the southern Atlantic region, the northern High Plains, and much of the West. 

Monthly temperatures averaged as much as 7 degrees F above normal in the Great Lakes region, but were 3 to

6 degrees F below normal in parts of California, the Great Basin, and northern Intermountain West.

June Crop Summary

Temperatures averaged above normal from the Great Plains eastward, with the exception of the southern

Atlantic and central Gulf Coasts. Warm, dry weather prevailed in a band extending from eastern Texas,

across the Mississippi Delta, through the central Corn Belt, and into the Ohio Valley and middle Atlantic

Coast States. Across these areas, excessive dryness caused rapid deterioration of crop conditions. In the

northern and central Great Plains, moderate to heavy precipitation and above-normal temperatures benefited

crop development while causing flooding and worsened crop conditions in some areas. Cool weather in the

southern Atlantic Coast States continued to hinder development of cotton and peanuts. Cool, mostly dry

weather prevailed from the Rocky Mountains westward, aiding winter wheat harvest in California but

hindering development of cotton and rice in the State.

Due to the rapid planting pace earlier in the season, the Nation’s corn crop emerged ahead of normal,

reaching 95 percent complete by June 5, one percentage point ahead of last year and 5 points ahead of the

5-year average. Silking started slightly behind normal, but by July 3 had advanced to 11 percent complete,

7 points behind last year but the same as the 5-year average. Condition of the crop improved early in the

month, but deteriorated as dry weather began to take its toll. The most extreme decline in crop condition was

in Illinois, where the percentage of the crop rated good to excellent fell from 60 percent on May 29 to

25 percent on July 3.

Sorghum seeding trailed the normal pace through most of June, slipping as far as 7 points behind normal on

June 12. However, with steady progress through month’s end, planting reached 97 percent complete on

July 3, two points ahead of last year and 1 point ahead of normal. Meanwhile, heading fell slightly behind

normal, reaching 15 percent complete at month’s end, compared with 16 percent last year and 17 percent for

the 5-year average. At that time, 12 percent of the crop had turned color, 1 point ahead of last year and the

same as the normal, though coloring had begun only in Louisiana and Texas.

Oat heading progressed at a near normal pace through most of the month, but advanced rapidly in the final

week, reaching 84 percent complete on July 3, six points ahead of last year and the 5-year average. During

that final week, when warm weather prevailed in most growing areas, over one-third of Minnesota’s, North

Dakota’s, and South Dakota’s crop entered the stage. Only Nebraska’s crop trailed the normal heading pace,

with all other States at or ahead of normal.

Emergence of the barley crop progressed ahead of normal, reaching 97 percent complete on June 12,

two points ahead of last year and 1 point ahead of normal. Heading, however, began slowly, falling 5 points

July 2005 25 NASS, USDA

behind normal by June 19. However, the crop progressed rapidly during the last 2 weeks of June, reaching

48 percent complete by month’s end, 3 points ahead of last year and 1 point ahead of normal. Heading was

nearly complete in Washington and was 17 points ahead of normal in North Dakota, but trailed behind the

normal pace elsewhere.

The Nation’s winter wheat crop headed slightly ahead of the normal pace during June. By June 19, heading

was 97 percent complete, the same as last year but 1 point ahead of normal. At that time, heading was

complete in most States and within 2 points of completion everywhere except in the northernmost growing

areas. Harvest began slowly as rainfall hindered fieldwork in the central and southern Great Plains, but

progressed rapidly during the final 2 weeks of June as drier conditions were more favorable for fieldwork. 

During those 2 weeks, harvest advanced 40 points nationwide, 80 points in Kansas, and 65 points in Illinois

and Missouri. At month’s end, growers had reaped 62 percent of the crop, 2 points ahead of last year and

1 point ahead of normal. Harvest was nearly complete in Arkansas and Oklahoma but had not yet begun in

Idaho, Michigan, Montana, South Dakota, and Washington.

The spring wheat crop was 96 percent emerged on June 5, two points ahead of last year and 6 points ahead of

normal. Heading fell behind normal briefly but progressed rapidly during the last 2 weeks, reaching

57 percent complete by month’s end, 9 points ahead of last year and 7 points ahead of normal. At that time,

only Idaho’s and Minnesota’s crop trailed the 5-year average pace for heading, while North Dakota’s crop

was well ahead of normal. From June 19 to July 3, heading advanced 68 points in South Dakota, 52 points in

North Dakota, and 48 points nationwide.

Emergence of the rice crop progressed at a near normal pace, reaching 96 percent complete on June 12,

one point behind normal. Heading, however, trailed well behind normal. On June 19, just 1 percent of the

crop had reached the heading stage, compared with 4 percent last year and 5 percent for the 5-year average. 

At that time, heading had begun only in Louisiana and Texas. Heading continued to progress slowly through

month’s end, reaching only 7 percent complete on July 3, six points behind last year and the average. 

Progress was ahead of the normal pace only in Mississippi, and trailed over a week behind normal in

Louisiana and over 2 weeks behind in California and Texas.

Soybean growers had planted 96 percent of their acreage on June 19, one point ahead of last year and 2 points

ahead of normal. Emergence also progressed ahead of normal, reaching 96 percent complete a week later. 

By month’s end, 21 percent of the crop was at or beyond the blooming stage, compared with 19 percent last

year and 15 percent for the 5-year average. Condition of the crop, however, declined during the latter half of

the month as hot, dry weather in the central Corn Belt and Mississippi Delta rapidly depleted soil moisture.

Sunflower seeding trailed behind the normal pace throughout the month. On July 3, producers had planted

97 percent of their acreage, compared with 98 percent last year and 99 percent for the normal. Progress was

behind normal in the Great Plains but ahead of normal in Colorado.

Peanut growers trailed their normal planting pace during June as soggy conditions hindered planting in the

Southeast and in Oklahoma. On June 12, ninety-six percent of the crop had been sown, 3 points behind last

year and 2 points behind normal. Due to late planting and cool conditions in the Southeast, pegging also

trailed well behind normal. On July 3, just 32 percent of the crop had reached the pegging stage, compared

with 43 percent last year and 41 percent for the 5-year average. Only in Oklahoma, where warm weather

favored crop development, was pegging ahead of the normal pace, while progress was over 2 weeks behind

normal in Alabama and Florida.

The Nation’s cotton crop was planted at a near normal pace. On June 19, growers had planted 97 percent of

their acreage, the same as last year and the 5-year average. While planting was complete in most States, at or

ahead of the normal pace, Oklahoma and Kansas growers, hindered by dry weather in May and heavy rainfall

in early June, were well behind normal. Development of the crop lagged well behind normal as cool

conditions in most growing areas hindered growth of the crop. By month’s end, 55 percent of the crop had

reached the squaring stage, 13 points behind last year and 10 points behind normal. Squaring was slightly

ahead of normal in the Delta, where warm weather prevailed, but well behind normal elsewhere. In

California, Oklahoma, and Texas, squaring was over a week behind the normal pace. Meanwhile, boll setting

was also behind normal, reaching just 13 percent complete on July 3, compared with 19 percent for last year

and the 5-year average. Progress was ahead of normal only in Arkansas and Tennessee and had not yet begun

in Kansas and Oklahoma.
Crop Production Agricultural Statistics Board

July 2005 26 NASS, USDA

Oats: Production is forecast at 131 million bushels, 13 percent above last year’s 116 million bushels. The

forecasted yield is 66.5 bushels per acre, up 1.8 bushels from 2004. If realized, this would be a record high

yield. Growers expect to harvest 1.98 million acres for grain, up 10 percent from last year.

Crop development was slightly ahead of normal across most of the northern Great Plains and Corn Belt

region. As of July 3, eighty-four percent of the oat acreage was headed, 6 percentage points ahead of the

5-year average. The crop was most advanced in Iowa and Texas, which were at 99 percent and 100 percent

headed, respectively. Yields are forecast to increase across most of the Great Plains region due to favorable

growing conditions, with the exception of Montana, where yields are expected to be down 7 bushels from

2004. The largest increase in yield is expected in Iowa, where the yield is forecast at 80 bushels per acre, up

8 bushels from last year. Lower yields are forecast for Oregon and California, where expected yields are

down 10 bushels from 2004, as a very wet spring disrupted the normal development of the crop.

Barley: Production for 2005 is forecast at 243 million bushels, 13 percent below 2004. Based on conditions

as of July 1, the average yield is forecast at 70.0 bushels per acre, up 0.6 bushel from last year. If realized,

this would be the highest yield on record. Area for harvest, at 3.47 million acres, is down 14 percent from

2004 and the lowest since 1890.

Production declines are expected for all of last year’s 13 largest producing States, mostly due to decreased

acreage. Area harvested is expected to decrease in all of last year’s 12 largest producing States. Forecast

yields are at or above 2004 in most States, and, if realized, would set new record highs in Colorado and

Montana and tie record high yields in Idaho and Utah. In North Dakota, yield is forecast at 70 bushels per

acre, up 1 bushel from last year, but area harvested, at 1.15 million acres, is down 22 percent from last year

and the lowest since 1936, resulting in a 21 percent decrease in expected production.

Persistent wet weather in the Pacific Northwest hindered planting early in the season, while planting

progressed well ahead of normal in the upper Midwest. Emergence was hampered by cool weather in early

May, but progressed rapidly thereafter, reaching 97 percent complete on June 13, slightly ahead of the normal

pace. As of July 3, eighty-one percent of the crop was rated in good or excellent condition, compared with

69 percent last year.

Winter Wheat: Acres harvested for grain are forecast at 34.3 million, down 1 percent from 2004. The

harvested area is unchanged from the Acreage report released on June 30, 2005, but down 2 percent from the

June 1 forecast. Harvest progress, in the 18 major producing States, was 62 percent complete by July 3. This

was 2 percentage points ahead of last year and 1 point ahead of the 5-year average.

Yield decreases from last month are forecast in parts of the central Great Plains, as harvest revealed that dry

spring conditions had more of an impact than previously thought. Elsewhere in the Hard Red Winter growing

area, yield prospects are improved from the previous forecast. Severe storms in the Texas panhandle delayed

harvest during much of June. However, by the end of the month harvest progress was near normal. With

harvest just getting underway in South Dakota and Montana, growers in both States expect a record high

yielding crop. 

Yields are much better than previously expected across nearly all of the Soft Red Winter region. Harvest is

nearly complete in the southern portions of the growing area. Record high yields are expected in Kentucky,

North Carolina, and Tennessee, with each State’s forecast increasing 10 or more bushels from last month.

White Wheat yield forecasts in the Pacific Northwest are equal to or higher than those of a month ago. The

Idaho yield forecast is a record high. Harvest is just getting underway across the region.

Durum Wheat: Area for 2005 grain harvest is expected to total 2.45 million acres, up 4 percent from last

year. Harvest is nearly complete in California. Seeding began and finished ahead of normal in Montana and

North Dakota. Both States also received ample rainfall during June, helping the crop get off to a good start. 

Condition ratings are above a year ago.

Other Spring Wheat: Harvested grain area is forecast at 13.6 million acres, up 4 percent from last year. 

Planting was finished ahead of normal in Montana and North Dakota, but slightly behind average in

Minnesota. Development of the crop is at or ahead of last year in all 3 States. Early spring conditions in the
Crop Production Agricultural Statistics Board

July 2005 27 NASS, USDA

Pacific Northwest were very dry. However, rainfall since then has boosted yield prospects. Record high

yields are expected in Idaho and South Dakota.

Lentils: Planted acreage of lentils in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington is estimated at

450,000 acres, up 30 percent from 2004. Harvested acreage is estimated at 430,000, up 31 percent from last

year. Montana growers planted 170,000 acres this year, 118 percent greater than 2004. Many growers

substituted planting lentil acres for spring wheat and barley throughout the State because of better marketing

opportunities and new government Loan Deficiency Payment rates which exceed all other pulse crops. 

Growers plan to harvest 155,000 acres, more than double last year’s area. Planted acreage in North Dakota is

estimated at 130,000 acres, up 30 percent from a year ago. This is a record high planted acreage for North

Dakota. Planting conditions during late April and early May were reported to be excellent. These good

growing conditions encouraged producers to plant lentils as an excellent alternative crop to the traditional

small grain crops normally grown. The pulse crops provide nitrogen fixation in crop rotation with small

grains. North Dakota growers are expecting to harvest 127,000 acres, up 35 percent from a year ago. 

Washington growers planted 85,000 acres of lentils, down 11 percent from 2004. Warm temperatures and

dry conditions during early May were prevalent throughout the State. Sporadic showers in late May and

throughout June brought much needed relief to all areas that previously experienced drought conditions. 

However, currently the State’s moisture levels are lower than normal. Growers plan to harvest all

85,000 acres, down 9 percent from a year ago. Growers in Idaho planted 65,000 acres to lentils, 10 percent

below the 2004 season. Normal crop rotation is the main reason for lower planted acreage. Growers plan to

harvest 63,000 acres, down 10 percent from last year.

Dry Edible Peas: Planted acreage of dry edible peas for 2005 is estimated at 804,000 acres, up 52 percent

from last year. Harvested area is forecast at 772,000 acres, also up 52 percent from 2004. Area planted in

North Dakota, at 530,000 acres, is 71 percent above a year ago. This is a record high for the State. North

Dakota growers are expecting to harvest 510,000 acres, 72 percent more than last season. Planting of the dry

edible pea crop started mid-April and was completed by the third week of May. Planting conditions during

late April and early May were reported to be excellent. These good growing conditions encouraged producers

to plant dry peas as an alternative crop to the traditional small grain crops normally grown. Idaho dry edible

pea growers planted 55,000 acres in 2005, down 4 percent from last year. Idaho growers plan to harvest

53,000 acres, 4 percent less than the previous year. Lower prices and normal crop rotation have combined to

lower the acreage. Oregon growers devoted 4,000 planted acres to dry edible peas, a decrease of 43 percent

from the previous year. All 4,000 acres are expected to be harvested, 41 percent below last season. Lower

acreage is due to normal crop rotation.

Washington farmers planted dry edible peas on 80,000 acres, down 9 percent from 2004. Planting of dry

edible peas was completed by the end of May. Warm temperatures and dry conditions were prevalent

throughout the State during May. However, sporadic rainfall in late May and throughout June brought much

needed relief to areas that previously experienced drought conditions. Growers plan to harvest all

80,000 acres, down 8 percent from last year. Montana dry edible pea growers planted 135,000 acres, up

99 percent from a year ago. Many growers substituted planting dry edible pea acres for spring wheat and

barley throughout the State because of better marketing opportunities and the recently implemented

government Loan Deficiency Payment program which helps reduce risk. Growers plan to harvest 125,000 of

these acres, 98 percent more than last season.

Austrian Winter Peas: Planted acreage of Austrian winter peas in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon is estimated

at 37,500 acres up 23 percent from 2004. Harvested area is forecast at 26,500 acres, up 23 percent from last

year. Montana growers planted 19,000 acres, up 58 percent from 2004. Many growers substituted planting

Austrian winter pea acres for spring wheat and barley due to the recently implemented government Loan

Deficiency Payment program which helps reduce risk. They plan to harvest 13,000 acres, 63 percent more

than last season. Historically, Austrian winter peas were mostly grazed in Montana. However, more acreage

is being harvested for feed each year. Planted area in Idaho totaled 14,000 acres, down 10 percent from 2004. 

Harvested area is forecast at 11,000 acres, down 8 percent from the 2004 season. Lower prices and normal

crop rotation have combined to lower the acreage. Austrian winter pea planted acreage in Oregon is estimated

at 4,500 acres, up 50 percent from a year ago. Harvested area is forecast at 2,500 acres, up 67 percent from

the previous year. Dry conditions during January and February persuaded growers to plant more Austrian

winter peas in lieu of spring wheat.

Tobacco: U.S. all flue-cured tobacco production is forecast at 410 million pounds, down 21 percent from the

2004 crop and 10 percent below 2003. Area harvested at 186,300 acres, is 18 percent below 2004. Yield per

acre for flue-cured tobacco is forecast at 2,203 pounds, down 69 pounds from 2004 but 246 pounds above the

2003 yield. Forecasted yields for all flue-cured tobacco in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and

Virginia decreased from last year, while yields are expected to increase in Florida.

North Carolina’s flue-cured tobacco production is forecast at 289 million pounds, down 16 percent from the

2004 crop. Area harvested at 130,500 acres, is 14 percent below last year. Yield per acre is forecast at

2,211 pounds, down 61 pounds from 2004. Most tobacco growers in North Carolina had no difficulties

getting their crop in the ground. However, many growers did not get the rain they needed in June due to

spotty thunderstorms that caused conditions to vary, even within counties. The crop is rated 49 percent good

to excellent.

Flue-cured tobacco in South Carolina is forecast at 49.5 million pounds, down 19 percent from the 2004 crop. 

Area harvested at 23,000 acres, is down 15 percent from 2004. Yield per acre is forecast at 2,150 pounds,

100 pounds below last year. After a slow start, hot temperatures and ample rainfall have tobacco

development on track. As of June 27, the crop condition was fair to mostly good.

Flue-cured tobacco production in Virginia is forecast at 35.0 million pounds, down 39 percent from the 2004

crop. Area harvested at 14,000 acres, is down 39 percent from 2004. Yield per acre is forecast at

2,500 pounds, 5 pounds below last year. Clear sunny days through the end of May allowed transplanting to

progress on schedule. June was a little dryer than normal but, despite the hot, dry weather, tobacco shows

little sign of weather stress as irrigation has sustained the crop. The crop is in mostly good to excellent

condition.

Georgia’s flue-cured tobacco production is forecast at 30.4 million pounds, down 35 percent from the 2004

crop. Area harvested at 16,000 acres, is 30 percent below 2004. Yield per acre is forecast at 1,900 pounds,

down 130 pounds from last season. Too much rain in parts of Georgia has hurt crop growth and slowed field

work while some farmers are reporting a good or better crop than last year. Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus is a

serious problem for some growers this year.

Florida’s flue-cured tobacco production is forecast at 7.00 million pounds, down 29 percent from last year’s

crop. Area harvested at 2,800 acres, is 30 percent below 2004. Yield per acre is forecast at 2,500 pounds, up

50 pounds from the 2004 crop. Florida growers have experienced some excessive rains leading to disease

problems such as Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus, Black Shank, and Cucumber Mosaic Virus. Harvest began

during the last week of June.

All Potatoes: Potato growers across the United States have planted an estimated 1.11 million acres of

potatoes in all four seasons this year, down 7 percent from last year and the lowest since 1866 when record

keeping began. Area for harvest, forecasted at 1.09 million acres, is also down 7 percent from a year ago and

the lowest on record. Fall potato planted acreage is down 7 percent from the 2004 crop year. 

The summer potato production forecast is down 12 percent from last season. Winter and spring production

forecasts are being carried forward from earlier estimates. Winter production is up 5 percent but spring

production is down 20 percent from last year. 

Fall Potatoes: Area planted to fall potatoes for 2005 is estimated at 970,400 acres, down 7 percent from last

year and 12 percent below 2003. Harvested acres are forecast at 955,700, down 7 percent from 2004 and

12 percent below two years ago. This is the lowest planted and harvested acres since 1957. This reduction is

due in part to economic pressures, industry acreage reduction programs, and inclement weather at planting.

Western States potato acreage is estimated at 606,200 acres planted this year, down 6 percent from last year

and 9 percent below 2003. Planting was delayed in most western States due to wet conditions. Idaho growers

dropped their planted acreage 7 percent from last year. This is the lowest planted acreage for Idaho since

1986. Washington producers pulled back 4 percent from a year ago. Colorado growers voluntarily reduced

acreage 10 percent this year for both water conservation and economic reasons. Planted acres in Oregon were

dropped 5 percent. This reduction is due in part to the closure of a processing plant in the Columbia Basin. 

California’s fall potato acres are down 5 percent and Nevada’s acres decreased 18 percent. Planted acres for

Montana are up 3 percent. New Mexico summer potatoes were combined with fall potatoes for 2005. Acres

are up 2 percent from 2004 for all of New Mexico’s potato acres.

Central States planted an estimated 273,600 acres of fall potatoes this year, down 6 percent from last year and

18 percent below two years ago. Cool, wet weather slowed planting in most central States. North Dakota’s

planted acreage decreased 14 percent and is the lowest number of planted acres since 1952. This reduction is

due in part to a decrease in processing acres. Planted acres dropped 9 percent in Nebraska, 3 percent in Ohio,

and 2 percent in Minnesota from a year ago. Michigan and Wisconsin growers planted the same amount of

acres as last year. 

Growers in Eastern States have planted an estimated 90,600 acres of fall potatoes this year, down 8 percent

from last year and 14 percent below the 2003 acreage. Maine’s planted acreage is estimated at 55,500 acres,

down 13 percent from last year. Planted potato acreage in Pennsylvania is down 4 percent, while producers in

New York planted 3 percent more acres. Massachusetts and Rhode Island’s planted acreages are unchanged

from 2004. Cool, wet spring weather delayed planting and has slowed crop progress but crop quality is

expected to be good in these New England States.

Summer Potatoes: Production of summer potatoes is forecast at 16.2 million cwt, a 12 percent decrease

from a year ago. If realized, this would be a record low production since the series began in 1949, six percent

below the previous record low set in 1980. Harvest is expected from a record low acreage of 49,100 acres,

9 percent below last year, the previous record low. Average yield is forecast at 331 cwt per acre, down 10 cwt

from 2004. Eight of the 11 summer potato States expect smaller crops than they had last year but the potato

crops in 2 States are larger. Maryland growers expect the summer potato crop to be unchanged from last year.

Illinois’ production is expected to be down 27 percent from last year, followed by Colorado with a decrease of

17 percent. Delaware’s summer potato crop forecast is down 16 percent, while California expects a

14 percent loss from 2004. Virginia producers are expecting a 10 percent decrease in production, while

Texas is expecting an 8 percent drop, and growers in New Jersey and Kansas expect 3 percent and 2 percent

decreases, respectively. A larger potato crop is expected in Alabama, with a 12 percent increase. 

Expectations in Missouri are up 1 percent despite an 8 percent decrease in harvested acres. Missouri’s yield

is forecast at 340 cwt per acre, 30 cwt above last season. If realized, this would equal the record high yield of

2001. 

Crop conditions in Texas are good and harvest is expected to start in August. East coast States have had

nearly ideal conditions for vine and tuber development. In Alabama, rain delayed planting while insect

pressures and unfavorable weather are expected to reduce the quality of the crop. Colorado summer potato

development continues to be behind schedule due to planting delays caused by uncertainty in irrigation water

but the crop condition is mostly good to fair. Wet conditions in California delayed planting by three weeks in

some areas but the crop has progressed normally since then. Growers are expecting a late harvest. Harvest is

underway in Missouri’s southeastern counties and is expected to start in the northwestern counties in a couple

of weeks.

Peaches: The July 2005 forecast of U.S. peach production is 1.24 million tons, down 5 percent from 2004

and 2 percent below two years ago. Twenty of the 28 peach estimating States expect declines in production

from last year, while 8 States increased their production from the previous season.

The California Clingstone crop is forecast at 530,000 tons, up 4 percent from the June 1 forecast but 2 percent

below the 2004 crop. California experienced ideal weather conditions during bloom period. Full bloom was

about a week ahead of last year but harvest was delayed due to cooler than average temperatures during April. 

Fruit set is lighter than a year ago but size is excellent throughout the State. Good growing conditions were

observed during June. Harvest began during late June.

The California Freestone crop is forecast at 410,000 tons, unchanged from the June 1 forecast but 6 percent

below the 2004 crop. The State experienced an adequate number of chilling hours which benefitted the

Freestone crop. Bloom was delayed due to cool weather. Cool temperatures during spring allowed the fruit

to size better than last year’s crop. Harvest continued with Brittney Lane, Country Sweet, Fancy Lady, Rich

Lady, and Earli Rich the primary varieties picked. Quality is reported to be very good for the Freestone crop.
Crop Production Agricultural Statistics Board

July 2005 30 NASS, USDA

The South Carolina peach crop is forecast at 75,000 tons, down 6 percent from the June 1 forecast but

7 percent above 2004. Crop maturity is behind schedule due to cool weather during spring and early summer. 

North Carolina’s peach crop, forecast at 6,000 tons, is up 71 percent from last year and double the 2003

season. This is the State’s best peach crop since 1999. Quality is reported to be good.

Georgia’s peach crop is forecast at 40,000 tons, down 11 percent from the June 1 forecast and 24 percent

from 2004. An unusually cool spring delayed peach maturity until mid-May when several weeks of warm

sunny weather provided near ideal conditions. However, frequent showers, and excessive rain, along with

high humidity throughout June, provided for frequent disease problems. Heavy hail damage in several areas

also reduced production. Harvest reached 51 percent complete in early July. Fruit quality is considered good. 

In New Jersey, production is forecast at 30,000 tons, down 8 percent from 2004 and 14 percent below 2003. 

Severe winter damage was reported in the southwest part of the State. An average to good bloom was

observed but a cold snap in May caused some damage. Some manual thinning was necessary due to

insufficient June drop. Peaches are sizing well and crop prospects may improve if growing conditions

continue to be favorable. Production in Pennsylvania is forecast at 20,500 tons, down 11 percent from last

year and 44 percent below 2003. Thinning is progressing well and is nearly complete. Many growers in

Adams and Franklin counties reported the need for rain. Production in New York is forecast at 5,300 tons,

down 12 percent from 2004 and 18 percent below two years ago. Many growers in the Lake Ontario region

reported winter damage due to cold temperatures in late December and early January. A widespread frost on

May 13 decreased fruit potential. In the spring, hail storms were reported across the eastern part of the State

and the Hudson Valley Fruit Region. Production in Connecticut is forecast at 800 tons, a 6 percent decrease

from last year. A cold winter with plenty of snow lasted long into the spring. Wet and cold weather in May

contributed to an unfavorable spring which resulted in late peach development. Average full bloom was

reached the first week in May. Peaches were rated in good to fair condition by the end of June. Production in

Massachusetts is forecast at 1,050 tons, up 9 percent from the small 2004 crop. In parts of the State, a record

amount of snow fell. Some areas experienced significant winterkill due to extended periods of below zero

temperatures. In April, warm weather arrived early and conditions became dry; however, a cold wet May

followed which hindered bloom. Areas hit by frost and freeze conditions during bloom suffered severe or

total losses, while orchards that escaped the frigid temperatures reported significant increases from last year’s

unusually low output. By June, sunny weather arrived to the region and improved peach conditions. Average

date of full bloom in the State was May 5. The peach crop was rated fair to good by the end of June. 

Michigan’s peach crop is forecast at 19,000 tons, up 2 percent from 2004 but 19 percent below 2003. Above

normal temperatures during early spring put fruit development ahead of average this year. However, a late

April cold snap damaged some orchards, especially in the southwest region. Overall, the peach crop seemed

to recover nicely. Pollination was a concern for producers as cold temperatures negatively affected bees. In

the southeast, peaches are continuing to size well. Thinning was underway in the west central region where

the crop looks very good. Overall, the crop should be similar in size to last year. Peach production in

Missouri and Ohio are down 67 percent and 61 percent, respectively, from last year. Peach production in

Kentucky is forecast at 550 tons, down 31 percent from last season. Illinois’ production, at 6,500 tons, is

down 39 percent from 2004. Weather conditions during winter and spring were detrimental to this season’s

peach crop. A hard freeze in January and a late frost in May combined to lower crop potential. Spring hail

storms also caused fruit loss. 

Production in West Virginia is down 8 percent from 2004; however, production is up 2 percent in Maryland. 

Both Alabama and Texas decreased production by 18 percent from the previous season due to hail storms and

other untimely weather related conditions. Production in Arkansas and Tennessee is down 4 percent and

3 percent, respectively. However, production has doubled in Oklahoma.

Washington peach crop is forecast at 22,000 tons, up 2 percent from last year and 13 percent above 2003. 

Production is down from 2004 in Oregon, Idaho, and Utah. In Colorado, production is forecast at

12,000 tons, down 8 percent from the 2004 crop. Hail and wind damage was reported in some areas of the

West Slope.

California Grapes: California’s all grape production is forecast at 6.21 million tons, up 11 percent from last

year. Wine type grapes account for 48 percent of California’s total production, raisin type grapes account for

39 percent, while the remaining 13 percent are table type grapes.
Crop Production Agricultural Statistics Board

July 2005 31 NASS, USDA

Wine type grape production is forecast at 2.95 million tons, up 5 percent from the 2004 crop. Vine growth

got off to a fast start this year due to warm spring weather with bud break 1 to 2 weeks earlier than normal. 

Bunch counts are reported up from last year.

Raisin type grape production is forecast at 2.45 million tons, up 21 percent from last year. Bunch counts are

reported up from 2004. However, mildew problems, as a result of cool, wet weather, are expected to lower

raisin grape quality. Harvest for fresh use was active through early July for the Thompson Seedless variety.

Table type grape production is expected to be 810,000 tons, up 5 percent from last year. Harvest was active

through early July in the Coachella Valley, with Perlette, Flame Seedless, and Black Beauty Seedless the

primary varieties picked.

Apricots: The final forecast for the 2005 apricot crop is 90,160 tons, down 11 percent from last season’s

production and 8 percent below 2003. California’s 2005 apricot production is forecast at 85,000 tons, equal

to the June forecast but 10 percent below last year’s production. California’s production represents 94 percent

of the 2005 U.S. apricot crop. Bloom was early and heavy this year but growers reported heavy fruit drop by

mid-March. A cool, wet spring pushed harvest back to a normal starting time. Unsettled late-spring weather,

including hail storms, caused significant damage in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Fruit is sizing well,

though localized disease problems are reported. Washington’s production, at 5,000 tons, is down 26 percent

from last year but 2 percent above 2003. Spring frosts and poor weather during pollination combined to

reduce prospects for Washington’s apricot crop. The 2005 Utah crop, at 160 tons, is down 52 percent from

2004 and 11 percent below 2003. Spring frosts and unfavorable growing conditions contributed to the

downturn in this year’s production.

Almonds: The 2005 California almond crop is forecast at 880 million pounds, shelled basis, up 4 percent

from the previous forecast but down 13 percent from the 2004 crop. The current forecast is based on the

objective measurement survey conducted in California almond orchards between May 23 and June 19, 2005. 

Widespread rain during the almond bloom is reported to have caused many orchards to display early petal fall

as well as inhibited bee pollination activity. The Nonpareil variety is reported to have had a particularly weak

bloom. The current objective measurement survey shows nut set down from last year for all varieties; 

however, kernel weight, length, width, and thickness are all up from the previous year.

Papayas: Hawaii fresh papaya utilization is estimated at 2.54 million pounds for June, 14 percent higher

than last month but 13 percent less than a year ago. Area in crop totaled 2,600 acres, up 4 percent from last

month and 30 percent higher than June 2004. Harvested area totaled 1,580 acres, 10 percent more than last

month and 50 percent higher than a year ago. The weather conditions were favorable for papayas during June

with daily showers and sunny periods over major producing areas. Young papaya trees are making good

progress.

Grapefruit: The U.S. grapefruit forecast is 995,000 tons, up less than 1 percent from the previous forecast

but 54 percent below last season's final utilization. Florida's grapefruit forecast, at 12.8 million boxes

(545,000 tons), is unchanged from June but 69 percent below last season's final utilization. Harvest is

complete. The white grapefruit forecast is 3.40 million boxes (145,000 tons), unchanged from June but

79 percent below last season. The colored grapefruit forecast, at 9.40 million boxes (400,000 tons), is

unchanged from June 1 but 62 percent below last season's final utilization. This is the lowest utilization since

the 1935-36 season.

The California grapefruit forecast, at 5.40 million boxes (181,000 tons), is unchanged from the previous

forecast and from the previous season's final utilization. Marsh White grapefruit harvest continues in the

southern coastal area, with good quality, normal shape, and good color. Marsh Ruby variety grapefruit were

harvested in the Coachella valley with fruit quality and color reported as good to excellent. The July 1

grapefruit forecast for Texas is 6.60 million boxes (264,000 tons), up 2 percent from the April 1 forecast and

16 percent above last season. Arizona's July 1 forecast, at 160,000 boxes (5,000 tons), is unchanged from the

previous forecast but 14 percent above last season's utilized production.

Tangerines: The 2004-05 U.S. tangerine crop forecast is 339,000 tons, unchanged from the previous

forecast but 22 percent below last season's final utilization of 435,000 tons. Florida's tangerine crop, at

4.45 million boxes (211,000 tons), is unchanged from the previous forecast but 32 percent below last season's
Crop Production Agricultural Statistics Board

utilization of 6.50 million boxes. Harvest of all tangerine varieties is complete. Arizona's tangerine forecast

is 400,000 boxes (15,000 tons), unchanged from the April 1 forecast but 42 percent below last season. 

California's forecast, at 3.00 million boxes (113,000 tons), is unchanged from the April 1 forecast but

11 percent above last season.

Lemons: The forecast for the 2004-05 U.S. lemon crop, at 813,000 tons, is down 2 percent from the April 1

forecast but up 2 percent from last season. California production is forecast at 19.0 million boxes

(722,000 tons), down 3 percent from the previous forecast but 6 percent above the 2003-04 season. Harvest

remains active in the South Coastal area, while it is complete in the Desert region and in the Central Valley. 

Fruit sizes are medium to large with strong demand and good prices reported. Arizona's 2004-05 lemon

forecast, at 2.40 million boxes (91,000 tons), is unchanged from the previous forecast but 20 percent below

the previous season. Arizona’s lemon harvest is complete for this year. Good fruit quality was reported.

Temples: Florida’s Temple forecast is final at 650,000 boxes (29,000 tons) for the 2004-05 season,

unchanged from last month but 54 percent below last season’s final utilization of 1.40 million boxes. Temple

harvest is complete. This season’s crop is the smallest since the 1953-54 season, when Temple estimates

began.

Tangelos: Florida’s 2004-05 tangelo forecast is final at 1.55 million boxes (70,000 tons), unchanged from

June but 55 percent more than last season’s utilized production. Tangelos harvest is complete.

Florida Citrus: Florida’s June weather in the citrus areas was rainy and warm with high humidity. Tropical

flows brought localized storms and caused above average rainfall in all counties. Some counties received

near record amounts of precipitation. Average day time temperatures were in the high 80's to low 90's. Lows

at night were in the 60's and 70's. Groves and trees are generally in good condition. New growth is showing

good progress in most areas.

Harvest of Valencia oranges was slowed, and sometimes halted, due to the extremely wet weather. Weekly

Valencia orange harvest reached almost three million boxes during the second week of June, after being

hindered by rain the first week, when only one and a half million boxes were utilized. Some groves

experienced standing water along the main roads, making it difficult to operate harvesting equipment. Grove

maintenance was also hindered due to the rainy conditions. Grapefruit harvest was completed during June.

Arizona Citrus: Harvest is complete for all citrus fruit. Mild spring weather was beneficial for completing

citrus fruit harvest. Valencia orange fruit quality was good. Fruit size and quality were very good for

grapefruit.

Texas Citrus: Harvest is complete for grapefruit and early-mid and Valencia oranges. Rainfall during June

was scattered with only some citrus growing areas receiving small amounts of precipitation. Texas Valley

citrus producers continue to use irrigation when needed. The water supply is adequate in the Valley at this

time. Average temperatures in June were in the mid 90's. Grapefruit size varies from larger than normal to

small. Despite later than normal bloom in some oranges, overall orange size appears to be about normal for

this time of year. Reports of scattered late bloom in some orange and grapefruit groves continue to occur. 

Producers are using pest control measures and are beginning to scout their groves for pests, such as

planthoppers, molds, whitefly, and mites. Citrus rust mites have been reported. Citrus growers are checking

their groves carefully as they get ready to spray in the near future. Weed control in groves has remained fairly

good to date, in part because of the lack of major rainfall.

California Citrus: Citrus groves were topped and hedged. Applications of pre-emergent herbicides and

fungicides continued. Growers sprayed for cutworms, thrips, and red mites. Marsh White variety grapefruit

were harvested in the southern coastal areas of the State, with normal shape, good quality, and color reported. 

Marsh Ruby variety grapefruit were harvested in the Coachella Valley, where quality was reported to be good

to excellent. The navel orange harvest neared completion, while the Valencia orange harvest continued. 

California Noncitrus Fruits and Nuts: Growers continued their seasonal cycle of irrigation and cultivation

in fruit and nut orchards. Cool temperatures during the month of June slowed the maturity of most tree fruit. 

However, grapes were maturing well with the onset of ideal growing conditions. Insecticides and fungicides

continued to be applied to grape vineyards. Cane cutting began on early grape varieties to provide more

aeration, thus reducing humidity underneath the vines. Stone fruit harvesting continued. Varieties harvested

during June included Earlicot, Castlebright, Katy, and Patterson apricots; Spring Snow, Burpeach, Brittney

Lane, Babcock, Crimson Lady, Ivory Princess, Flavorcrest, Saturn, Snow Beauty, White Lady, June Flame,

and Country Sweet peaches; Red Beaut, Early King, Flavorosa, Early Queen, Black Beaut, Splendor, Black

Amber, and Santa Rosa plums; and Diamond Bright, Kay Pearl, Kay Sweet, and Red Roy nectarines. 

Harvested stone fruit orchards were topped, fertilized, and irrigated. Fruit thinning was ongoing in late

maturing varieties of stone fruit. Blueberry harvest slowed in Fresno County by month’s end. Strawberries,

blackberries, and boysenberries were harvested in the Central Valley and the Central Coast. Fig harvest

commenced in Merced County. Olive and avocado bloom came to an end towards the latter part of the

month. Herbicides were applied in olive orchards. Almond growers were applying insecticides and

fungicides. Walnut orchards were sprayed for blight and codling moth, and weed control was underway. 

Some walnut trees were propped in Yuba County.

Reliability of July 1 Crop Production Forecast

Wheat Survey Procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between June 24 and

July 6 to gather information on expected yield as of July 1. The objective yield survey was conducted in

10 States that accounted for 69 percent of the 2004 winter wheat production. Farm operators were

interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and seek permission to randomly locate two sample

plots in selected winter wheat fields. The counts made within each sample plot depended upon the crop's

maturity. Counts such as number of stalks, heads in late boot, and number of emerged heads were made to

predict the number of heads that would be harvested. The counts are used with similar data from previous

years to develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. 

The plots are revisited each month until crop maturity when the heads are clipped, threshed, and weighed. 

After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year

harvesting loss.

The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail and personal

interviewers. Approximately 10,100 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked

questions about the probable yield on their operation. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout

the growing season to provide indications of average yields.

Orange Survey Procedures: The orange objective yield survey for the July 1 forecast was conducted in

Florida, which produces about 80 percent of the U.S. production. In July and August 2004, the number of

bearing trees and the number of fruit per tree were determined. In subsequent months, fruit size measurement

and fruit droppage surveys are conducted to develop the current forecast of production. Arizona, California,

and Texas conduct grower and packer surveys on a quarterly basis, in October, January, April, and July. 

California conducts an objective measurement survey in September for navel oranges and in March for

Valencia oranges.

Wheat Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported data were

reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed

considering weather patterns and crop progress compared to previous months and previous years. Each State

Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB

uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published July 1 forecasts.

Orange Estimating Procedures: State level objective yield estimates for Florida oranges were reviewed for

errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. Reports from growers and packers in

Arizona, California, and Texas were also used for setting estimates. These four States submit their analyses

of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the

State analyses to prepare the published July 1 forecast.

Revision Policy: The July 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made

each month throughout the growing season. End-of-season wheat estimates are made after harvest. At the

end of the wheat marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks, production, exports,

millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other

administrative data warrant changes. End-of-season orange estimates will be published in September’s Citrus

Fruits Summary. The orange production estimates are based on all data available at the end of the marketing

season, including information from marketing orders, shipments, and processor records. Allowances are

made for recorded local utilization and home use.

Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the July 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean

Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the

July 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The

average of the squared percentage deviations for the latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the

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 July 1 winter wheat production forecast is 1.8 percent. This means

that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current winter wheat production will not be above or below the final

estimate by more than 1.8 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference

will not exceed 3.1 percent. Differences between the July 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final

estimate during the past 20 years have averaged 22 million bushels, ranging from 1 million to 65 million

bushels. The July 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 8 times and above 12 times. This does not

imply that the July 1 winter wheat forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the July 1 orange production forecast is 1.2 percent. This means that

chances are 2 out of 3 that the current orange production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate

by more than 1.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not

exceed 2.0 percent. Differences between the July 1 orange forecast and the final estimates during the past

20 years have averaged 100,000 tons, ranging from 9,000 tons to 370,000 tons. The July 1 forecast for

oranges has been below the final estimate 7 times and above 13 times. The difference does not imply that the

July 1 forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
