December ended with a week of wet weather from eastern Texas to New England and in southern
Florida. Moderately cold air swept from the Gulf of Alaska to the northern central Plains and
eastward during the early part of the week. As month's end approached, the trajectory of very
cold air spread from western Canada into the Plateau and Rockies.

By Sunday morning, single digit temperatures covered the winter wheat areas of western
Kansas, Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle. This time, however, the cold air was preceded by snow
which covered the area.

WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat seeding was almost complete in the major producing States at the beginning of
December. Most planting activity during the month took place in California, Arizona and some
replanting of poor stands on the Texas plains. Snow protected the northern Great Plains wheat
from subnormal temperatures early in December. Most of the Great Plains crop was covered prior
to the late-month chilling temperatures which thrust deep into Texas. Good snawcover extended
southward through Kansas with a very light blanket over most of Oklahoma and northern Texas,
At the end of the month winter wheat generally rated fair to good.

As the new year began, Kansas wheat was mostly snow covered; cattle grazed on 5 percent of
the acreage compared with 20 percent the previous year and the 15 percent average. Dry soils
limited Oklahoma wheat growth during December; cattle grazed some small grain acreage. Texas
wheat grew very slowly because of low temperatures reaching deep into the State but cattle had
fair to good grazing. Dryland stands needed additional moisture on the High and Low Plains.
New Mexico growers turned herds onto 50 percent of the dryland stands and 80 percent of the
irrigated fields.

In the northern Great Plains, Nebraska wheat rated fair and was covered with | to 15 inches
of snow. Montana winter wheat was snowcovered and rated good to excellent with snow depths
ranging from 7 to 18 inches.

Corn belt wheat rated good with adequate soil moisture but very little snowcover as 1979
was ushered in. In the South, soil moisture rated adequate to surplus with some low areas
becoming muddy. Wheat condition was fair to good.

Snowcover in the Pacific Northwest ranged from minimum to adequate; growers expected some
crop injury in areas with thin snow protection. Arizona and California growers continued to
plant small grains. Early stands looked good although late December subnormal temperatures
slowed growth.

COTTON: All cotton production is estimated at 10.8 million bales, up 1 percent from the

Oecember 1 forecast but 25 percent below the 1977 production, Expected production con-
sists of nearly 10.8 million bales of Upland cotton and 83.1 thousand bales of American-Pima.
Cottonseed production, based on a three-year average lint-seed ratio, is forecast at 4.19 million
tons (3,80 million metric tons), 24 percent below 1977,

Harvested acreage is estimated at 12.4 million acres (5,00 million hectares) for the 1978
crop, 1 percent above the December 1 estimate but 7 percent below 1977. Average lint yield per
harvested acre is estimated at 421 pounds compared with 520 for 1977 and 465 pounds for 1976.

In Texas and Oklahoma, growers expect to harvest 4.15 million bales of Upland cotton, 30 per-
cent below Tast year but 5 percent above the December 1 forecast. Harvest is practically complete
after several delays due to weather, Ginning of ricks and modules continues.

_y,,in the Delta States-Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee-a crop of 2.95
million bales is forecast, 23 percent below 1977, but 1 percent above the December 1 forecast.
Harvest is virtually complete with most gins closed for the season.

Production in the southeastern States-Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina-is

expected to total 558 thousand bales, 7 percent above 1977 and 1 percent above the December } fore-
cast. Harvest is virtually complete,

CROP PRODUCTION, JANUARY 1979 10 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


The California forecast at 33.0 million boxes is down 13 percent from December 1 because of
the freeze in early December. Navel production is now expected to total 18.0 million boxes,
down 14 percent from last month, and 10 percent below last season. As a result of the freeze a
substantial shift in utilization from fresh market to processing is expected. The Valencia
crop was reduced to 15.0 million boxes, 12 percent below last month and 32 percent below the
3977-78 season. Texas orange production at 6.30 million boxes is down 9 percent from the
December 1 forecast, because of the freeze in early December. However, damage from the freeze
on January 2 and 3 is not reflected in the current estimates. Arizona orange production is fore-
cast at 3.40 million boxes, 3 percent less than was forecast last month and 9 percent less than
the 1977-78 season.

Changes in U.S. production between the January 1 forecast and final production have averaged
9.99 million boxes over the past 10 seasons, ranging from 1.80 million in 1977-78 to 35.7 million
boxes in 1976-77.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD

The Florida all orange juice yield for the 1978-79 crop is projected at 1.29 gallons of 45
degree brix concentrate per box. The yield from the 1977-78 crop was 1.23 gallons per box.

GRAPEFRUIT: U.S. grapefruit prospects on January 1 declined slightly from last month to 70.7

million boxes (2.62 million metric tons}. This forecast does not reflect any freeze
damage that may have occurred after January 1. The Florida grapefruit crop is expected to total
51.0 million boxes, 1 percent less than last season. The Texas crop on January 1 was expected
to total 11.3 million boxes, 5 percent below last season's production. Harvest was about 1/3
complete by January 1.

In California, prospects are unchanged from last month at 6.00 million boxes but are 20 per-
cent below last season. Quality and texture are good. The Arizona crop of 2.40 million boxes is
17 percent below the 1977-78 season.

LEMONS: Prospects in California declined 21 percent during the month to 15.0 million boxes, 26

percent less than last season. The Central area (District 1) has not had normal growth
and fruit is smal} in size but looks good for grade. In the Southern area (District 2) much of
the smaller fruit will be lost to freeze damage. Damage to mature fruit could be quite high,
with much downgrading, In the desert areas (District 3), growers are selectively picking good
fruit. Size and grade are good on what has been picked.

TANGELOS: Florida's tangelo crop is forecast at 3.80 million boxes (155 thousand metric tons),
unchanged from last month but 22 percent below last season.

TANGERINES: The tangerine crop is expected to total 5.95 million boxes (238 thousand metric

tons), 5 percent less than was expected on December 1, but 10 percent above last
season. The Florida forecast of 3.90 million boxes is umchanged from last month but is 22 per-
cent above 1977-78. The California crop, now placed at 1.40 million boxes, is down 18 percent
from last month because of the freeze in December. The crop in Arizona is estimated at 650
thousand boxes, unchanged from Jast month, but down 7 percent from last season. Harvest is active
in all areas.

TEMPLES: Florida temple production is expected to total 4.80 million boxes (196 thousand metric
tons), unchanged from last month but 2 percent less than last season. Harvest is under-
way.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: January 1 stocks of hay on farms totaled 98.1 million tons (89.0 million
metric tons), 7 percent above the 91.5 million tons (83.0 million metric
tons) a year earlier and 27 percent above the 77.4 million tons (70.2 million metric tons) on
hand January 1, 1977. Thirty-eight States increased stocks from a year ago. The States showing
Tower stocks were in the central and southern Great Plains, Delta, and the Southwest.

CROP PRODUCTION, JANUARY 1979 7 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


The California, Arizona, and New Mexico Upland crop is forecast at 3.10 million bales, 23
percent below last year and 2 percent below the December 1 forecast, Harvest has progressed slow-
Jy but is reaching the final stages. California is experiencing the poorest yietds in 25 years.

The Bureau of the Census reports 9,320,525 running bales ginned to January 1 compared with
13,513,320 bales ginned to the same date in 1977 and 9,886,652 bales in 1976.

_. The January 1, 1979 citrus estimates do not reflect damage from the freezing temperatures
in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas on the night of January 2 and early morning hours of
January 3. The duration of temperatures at 26 degrees or below ranged from 8 to 10 hours

in most areas, with low temperatures ranging from 20 to 26 degrees.

Considerable defoliation of outer leaves is expected in all types of citrus, particularly
among younger trees in the western and northern groves. There is some significant fruit
damage but the extent of damage is not known at this time. Wood damage is believed to be
minimal, generally confined to twigs and small branches.

As a result of this freeze, a shipping holiday was declared for a]] Texas fresh market
citrus movement, excluding gift fruit, from midnight January 6 through midnight January 17.

ORANGES: U.S. orange production is forecast at 206 million boxes (8.14 million metric tons) for

the 1978-79 season, down 5 percent from last month's forecast and 6 percent below the
1977~78 crop. Florida prospects declined 2 percent to 163 million boxes and are 3 percent below
last season, Early and mid-season oranges in Florida are expected to total 93.0 million boxes,
2 percent tess than last month but 5 percent above the 1977-78 crap, Florida's Valencia crop
prospects declined 3 percent during the month and now point to a 70.0 million box crop, 12 per-
cent less than last season. Harvest of early oranges in Florida is still slightly behind last
year, The processed segment of the market has picked up and now is at a level comparable to
previous seasons. Shipping and holding quality has been very good. Labor supplies are adequate
in most locations.

CROP PRODUCTION, JANUARY 1979

CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


Disappearance from May 1, 1978 to January 1, 1979 totaled 68.2 million tons (61.9 million
metric tons), 15 percent more than the 59.3 mitiion tons (53.8 million metric tons) during the
same period a year earlier.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii production during January is forecast at 4.40 million pounds (2000 metric tons),

4 percent Tess than was harvested in December when production amounted to 4.60 mil-
lion pounds (2090 metric tons). December production was 18 percent less than the same month in
1977. Harvested acreage, which was down 10 percent, coupled with lower yields were responsible
for the decline, Producers experienced disease problems because of heavy rains in November.

The forecasts for February and March remain unchanged from a month ago. Based on the objec-
tive yield survey, April's production is expected to hit 4.10 million pounds (1860 metric tons),
13 percent below April a year ago.

POTATOES: The first production forecast for the 1979 winter potato crop is placed at 2,69 million
cwt. (122 thousand metric tons), 3 percent above the 2.62 million cwt. (119 thousand
metric tons) produced during the same period last year.

Area for harvest in California is up 300 acres from a year earlier while Florida is expecting
to harvest the same acreage as last year. Prospective yields are the same as last season in both
States. In California, harvest is active in Riverside County and just beginning in Kern County,
Digging is just getting underway in the Lake Okeechobee area of Florida. Vines are being killed
jn the upper southeast coast area in preparation for mid-month harvest. Harvest is expected to
begin in the Fort Myer area the last week of January.

Spring potato planting intentions for 1979 total 92.1 thousand acres (37.3 thousand hectares),
1 percent below the revised 93.4 thousand acres (37.8 thousand hectares) planted last year.

In Arizona, planting is slightly behind schedule because of muddy fields, Planting in Cali-
fornia is progressing well and is expected to continue into March. Cold weather has inhibited
sprouting. Planting began in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas around the middle of December
and will continue through January. Freezing temperatures in early January did not damage the crop
since top growth had not developed at that time. Planting is expected to begin by mid-month in
the Winter Garden area and by February 1 in the Knox-Haskell area. In Florida, land preparation
for planting the spring potato crop is about complete, Seeding is just beginning in the Hastings
area and should be active in al} areas by the end of January.

DECEMBER HARVEST PROGRESS

At the beginning of December, harvest of most row crops, with the prime exception of cotton,
was practically comptete, Small acreages of corn remained for harvest in the eastern Corn Belt
and the Southeast. December precipitation delayed harvest activity in the Corn Belt and some
river bottom stands were flooded periodically but this was insignificant compared with the total
acreage which was harvested earlier at a very rapid pace. The Southeast corn harvest stood at
95 to 97 percent complete at the beginning of December and by the end of the month was virtually
complete. Soybean combining in the north central States concluded ahead of the first winter
storms at the beginning of December. Harvest activity ranged from 74 to 90 percent complete
across the southern States. Grain sorghum harvest was virtually complete by December 7? except in
Texas at 95 percent and Oklahoma at 80 percent. Severe weather delayed combining early in the
month but by mid-December harvesting was complete.

Cotton picking in the 11 major southern States struggled to 60 percent by December 3, shy of
1977's 91 percent and the 75 percent average. Picking in most States was 90 percent complete or
better except 28 percent in Oklahoma and 42 percent in Texas. An early December freeze defoliated
cotton, and gave southern Plains growers the chance to pick the crop. Rain and snow temporarily
halted pickers but as the weather cleared farmers moved rapidly #iting available trailers and
building backlogs at gins. By the end of December, the Oklahoma harvest reached the final stages,
the Texas harvest was 87 percent complete, New Mexico 75 percent, and California 97 percent.

DECEMBER WEATHER

Early in December, an outbreak of very cold air moved southward down the West Coast of the
U.S. and into northern Mexico, A hard freeze occurred in southern California. The freezing tem-
peratures moved eastward into Arizona and northern Mexico, and then to the Rio Grande Valley where
a moderate freeze occurred. The Southernmost extent of the snowcover Tine in the Plains remained
in southern Nebraska until late in the month when it moved southward into northern Texas.

Total precipitation for the month was Tess than 50 percent of normal in northern California,
Oregon, Washington, and most of Idaho. Less the half the normal precipitation also fell in the
Plains from Kansas southward. Excessive moisture fell in the Southwest and Rockies as well as the
area from Arkansas through the Great Lakes and most of New England. Temperatures averaged below
normal west of the Mississippi River, especially in the central Rockies, and above normal in the
East.

On the first day of December, a surge of very cold air pushed into the northern Plains and
drastically dropped temperatures. Snow accumulated from the northern Rockies to -the western Great
Lakes and southward to Nebraska.

Early in the first week of December (4 - 10), the jet stream oriented itself from Alaska
southward into California and began funneling very cold air into the area. Freezing weather in
California began on the 6th, and a hard freeze encompassed the State and moved into Arizona on the
night and morning of the 8th and 9th. Moderate damage to crops was reported. The cold air moved
eastward and caused damage to crops in Texas' Rio Grande Valley on the 8th and 9th. At the same
time, temperatures dropped to single digits in the winter wheat area of the central Plains, All
of the area south of Nebraska was without snowcover. The cold air covered all of the U.S. by
week's end. Moderate to heavy precipitation occurred from Louisiana to the mid-Atlantic States
as the leading edge of the cold air encountered warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.

December's second week brought moderating temperatures to much of the Nation. Even areas
that remained colder than normal were much warmer than the previous week. In contrast, however,
the Southeast averaged 4 to 6 degrees colder than normal after a week of warm weather. Little
precipitation fell during the second week except for showers totaling nearly an inch in the North-
west, Southwest, in northern New England, and the southern tip of Florida.

The third week of December, the 18th to 24th, carried a continuation of showers in the North-
west and Southwest. A storm system from the Gulf of Mexico spread rain throughout the East. More
than two inches fell from southern Alabama to eastern North Carolina helping to improve the area's
long-standing moisture deficit. Temperatures ranged warmer than normal throughgut much of the
country, except the West Coast and the Great Plateau where temperatures were generally 3 to 6 de-
grees lower than normal,
