LEMONS: Production in Arizona and California is expected to total 21.0 million

boxes (724 thousand metric tons), down 2 percent from December 1 and
19 percent below last season's utilized production. Harvest is 28 percent
complete. Californta's forecast continues at 17.9 million boxes, 10 percent
below the 1984-85 season, The Arizona forecast is 3.10 million boxes, 48
percent less than last season's utilized crop.

TANGELOS: The Florida crop, excluding K-early citrus fruit, at 3,20 million
boxes (131 thousand metric tons), is unchanged from December 1 but
11 percent less than the 1984-85 crop. Harvest is 56 percent complete.

TANGERINES: The U.S. production forecast is 3.60 million boxes (132 thousand

metric tons), the same as the December 1 forecast but 5 percent
above last season. Harvest is nearing completion in Florida, but is still
active in Arizona and California.

The Florida forecast is 1.10 million boxes, unchanged from December 1, but
5 percent above 1984-85. The California crop forecast remains at 1.80 million
boxes, up 7 percent from last season. The Arizona crop forecast continues at
700 thousand boxes, the same as 1984-85.

TEMPLES: The Florida forecast is 3.50 million boxes (143 thousand metric
tons), unchanged from December 1 but 8 percent more than last season.
Harvest is just'getting started.

FLORIDA CITRUS: Most of Florida's citrus groves are in good condition despite

the freezing temperatures on December 26 and 27. Temperatures
on December 26 were not below freezing long enough to cause damage to citrus.
However, on December 27 subfreezing temperatures were of sufficent durations
below 28 degrees to cause some fruit icing in most areas. This was mostly
slush ice that dissipated rapidly the morning of the 27th, Heavy frost also
occurred on the morning of the 27th. A warming trend closed out the year.
Harvest during December accelerated sharply. Fresh movement during the
holidays was very active and most processing plants started operating as fruit
reached acceptable maturity levels.

PAPAYAS: Fresh papaya production from Hawaii is forecast at 4.00 million

pounds {1810 metric tons) for January. Output is anticipated to
level off at 4.30 million pounds (1950 metric tons) in February and March,
then increase to 5.00 million pounds (2270 metric tons) in April.

December's fresh utilization is estimated at 3.01 million pounds (1360
metric tons), 22 percent lower than the previous month and 20 percent below a
year ago. Total production for 1985 is estimated at 48.5 million pounds (22.0
thousand metric tons), 28 percent below 1984's production of 67.0 million
pounds (30.4 thousand metric tons). Total crop area in December was 3690
acres (1490 hectares), up 2 percent from the previous month, but 4 percent
lower than December last year. Harvested area of 2390 acres (970 hectares)
represented a 2 percent reduction from November and a 14 percent decrease from
December a year ago.

HAY STOCKS ON-FARMS: Stocks on-farms January 1, 1986 totaled 99.0 million tons

(89.8 million metric tons}, 2 percent less than January 1
a year ago but 11 percent above January 1, 1984. The slightly lower level of
stocks compared with January 1, 1985 is due to more feeding, because of harsh
winter weather, offsetting the higher supply of hay.

Indicated disappearance May 1, 1985 to January 1, 1986 is 79.1 million tons
(71.7 million metric tons), 13 percent more than during the same period last
year,

POTATOES: Winter potato production is forecast at 2.87 million cwt (130 thou-

sand metric tons) for 1986. This is up 7 percent from last year
and 9 percent above 1984. Area for harvest, at 12.3 thousand acres (4980
hectares), is down 7 percent from 1985 while the yield is expected to average
233 cwt per acre, a gain of 29 cwt.

California production, forecast at 1.43 million cwt, is up 2 percent from
last year. Improved yield expectations more than offset 6 percent lower
acreage for harvest. Harvest is underway in the Riverside area and will
follow shortly in San Diego and Kern Counties.

Florida winter production of potatoes is expected to hit 1.44 million cwt,
up 12 percent from 1985. Acreage for harvest is down 8 percent. Yield per
acre is expected to average 200 cwt compared with 165 cwt in 1985. Planting
was completed in late December. Earlier planted fields, although slightly
frost-damaged, are sizing well. Harvest should start in late January.

DECEMBER HARVESTING PROGRESS

Rainy, snowy weather hampered harvest progress for the most part during
December. However, open weather and frozen soil advanced harvest late in the
month, especially in the Southeast. Wet conditions caused further
deterioration of remaining soybeans and cotton in some areas. Cotton harvest
remained behind normal in North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico
and California during the month. Freezing temperatures early in December
halted growth and helped with defoliation in Texas. As the month drew to a
close only a few fields remained to be harvested in California, Arizona, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Harvest was 95% complete in New Mexico compared
with 96% normally on December 29th, Cotton harvest was 3 percentage points
ahead of normat in Texas by month's end. Corn and soybean harvest was held at
a virtual standstill the first half of December. Harvest inched forward but
little progress was accomplished until the last half of the month when frozen
ground and open weather permitted harvest to resume. Corn harvest was
virtually complete in the Southeast by the end of December. In the Southeast,
soybeans were still being harvested as the month drew to a close. Harvesting
progress was above 90 percent in all States, with most States at, or above, 95
percent completion, with the exception of North Carolina where soybeans were
88% harvested. Most of the corn yet to be harvested remained in the Corn Belt
and northern Plains States. In Indiana, corn was 95 percent harvested and
soybeans, 98 percent harvested on December 29th. By month's end, Michigan's
corn and soybean harvest was 91 and 96 percent complete, respectively. In
Qhio, some corn and soybeans remained to be harvested at the end of December.

DECEMBER WEATHER SUMMARY

December was a cold month. Atl of the Nation except the Southwest was
colder than normal. The upper Mississippi Valley was 10 to 14 degrees colder
than normal, and the northern Plateau averaged as much as 18 degrees colder
than normal. Although some precipitation fell almost everywhere, much of the
Nation was dryer than normal. Almost continuous snow produced above-normal
precipitation in the western Great Lakes and on the lee side of the Lakes from
Ohio through western New York. Much of the east coast, which was plagued by
drought the previous winter, had less than half the normal precipitation.
Normal, seasonal increase of precipitation in the West has not started.
However, heavy snow accumulated in the central Rockies and parts of the
northern Plains. (Prepared by NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)

WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat seeding continued in the Southeast and Southwest during
December. Most of the seeding activity was concentrated in Alabama, Arizona,
California, Georgia, and Louisiana. Freezing temperatures and wet weather
interrupted planting in the Appalachian States where some intendend acreage
was not planted. Low temperatures blanketed much of the northern wheat
producing areas but snow protected the wheat from severe damage. The low
temperatures stretched as far south as Texas, causing very little damage. The
below-normal temperatures limited growth during most of December. Late in the
month, snow cover was melting in the central Plains, exposing the winter
wheat. So far, winter damage has been minimal but Montana's wheat had some
light wind damage and there was some winterkill in Oklahoma. In western
Oregon, frost heaving damaged some fall seeded grains. The wheat was mostly
good with generally adequate moisture.

COTTON: United States cotton production is estimated at 13,5 million bales,

down 2 percent from the December 1 forecast but 4 percent more than
the 1984 production. Upland production is set at 13.4 million bales and
American Pima at 149 thousand bales. Yield per acre is a record high 630
pounds compared with the previous record high of 600 pounds set in 1984.
Harvested area is estimated at 10.3 million acres (4,17 million hectares),
down 1 percent from 1984,

Texas and Oklahoma Upland production is forecast at 4.29 million bales, 4
percent below December 1 but 11 percent above 1984. Cotton harvest made good
progress across the Texas plains during December with only minor delays.
Harvesting is nearing completion in most of the area with a lot of cotton left
in modules. In Oklahoma, wet weather delayed harvest and lowered quality. By
the end of the month, harvest was 86 percent complete.

Spring potato production for 1985 has been revised downward 5 percent from
the last seasonal forecast. Final production is now set at 23.0 million cwt
(1.04 million metric tons), down 3 percent from the 23.8 million cwt (1.08
million metric tons) produced in 1984, Area for harvest turned out
fractionally higher than in 1984, while the average yield per acre of 264 cwt
was 11 cwt less than the record high of 275 cwt set in 1984.

TOBACCO: All tobacco production in 1985 totaled 1.55 billion pounds (702 thou-

sand metric tons), down 10 percent from 1984. Lower acreage was only
partially offset by higher yields. Production was down in all but two of the
sixteen producing States. Growers harvested 701 thousand acres (284 thousand
hectares) compared with 792 thousand acres (320 thousand hectares) in 1984.
Area harvested was the lowest since 1881. Yield per acre averaged a record
high 2207 pounds, 24 pounds more than in 1984,

Flue-cured production is estimated at 800 million pounds (363 thousand
metric tons), a 7 percent smaller crop than harvested a year earlier. Reduced
acreage was only partially offset by higher yields. Growers harvested 358
thousand acres (145 thousand hectares), 9 percent less than a year ago and the
smallest of record. An average of 2235 pounds per acre was harvested, up 29
pounds from Yast year and is the highest of record.

Fire-cured output is expected to total 48.3 million pounds (21.9 thousand
metric tons), off 15 percent from last year. The decline is the combined
result of reduced acreage harvested and lower yields. The 25.5 thousand acres
harvested (10.3 thousand hectares) was down 10 percent from 1984 and the
average yield per acre of 1895 pounds was 106 pounds below the 1984 average.

Burley production is placed at 610 million pounds (277 thousand metric
tons), a decline of 14 percent from last year's large crop. The smaller 1985
crop was a result of reduced acreage. A total of 265 thousand acres (107
thousand hectares) was harvested. This was 16 percent fewer than in 1984.
Yields averaged 2301 pounds per acre, up 45 pounds from last year. Production
and acreage were down from 1984 in all 8 producing States.

Southern Maryland Type 32 production of 34.7 million pounds (15.7 thousand
metric tons) was 9 percent Tess than the previous year's output. The decrease
resulted from a 10 percent reduction in acreage, which totaled 24.5 thousand
acres (9910 hectares), and was only partially offset by an 18 pound per acre
higher yield.

Production of dark air-cured tobacco, at 15.9 million pounds (7210 metric
tons), was down 19 percent from the previous year. Area harvested was off 12
percent and yield per acre was 155 pounds below the 1984 average.

All cigar type output is estimated at 37.7 million pounds (17.1 thousand
metric tons), 2 percent above the 1984 production. The increase was the
combined result of slightly higher acreage and yields. Area harvested totaled
19.5 thousand acres (7900 hectares), 2 percent more than a year ago. Yields
averaged 1930 pounds per acre, up 8 pounds from 1984. Filler production was
up 3 percent, Binder production was up fractionally from 1984. Wrapper
production increased 20 percent from last year.

Production in the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri
and Tennessee) is forecast at 3.71 million bales, 1 percent below the
December 1 forecast and 4 percent below last year. In Missouri, dry weather
in late December was good for harvesting some fields a second time and
completing harvest for some fields that had not been picked. In other States,
suitable weather during the month permitted harvest to near completion by the
end of the month.

Western States (Arizona, California, and New Mexico) expect an Upland
production of 4.17 million bales, down 3 percent from December 1 but 2 percent
above 1984. Harvest was nearing completion in all States. Shredding and
discing of fields was active during the month.

Production in the southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina) jis forecast at 1.19 million bales, up 3 percent from
December 1 and 17 percent from last year. In Alabama and Georgia, progress
was made in harvest tate in the month after rains from hurricane Kate delayed
harvest early in the month. Harvest is in final stages in all States.

The Bureau of the Census reports 12,369,159 running bales ginned prior to
January 1, 1986 compared with 11,078,678 bates ginned to the same date in 1984
and 7,209,016 bales in 1983.

COTTONSEED: Production, based on a three year average lint-seed ratio, is

forecast at 5.37 million tons (4.87 million metric tons), 4
percent above the 1984 production of 5.15 million tons (4.67 million metric
tons).

ORANGES: U.S. all orange production is forecast at 184 million boxes (7.14
million metric tons), virtually the same as December 1, but 16 per-~

cent higher than last season and 8 percent above 1983-84. All oranges in
Florida are forecast at 130 million boxes, down 2 percent from December 1, but
25 percent more than last season's crop. Early and mid-season varieties in
Florida, at 69.0 million boxes, are down 3 percent from December 1, but 25
percent higher than last season. Harvest of early's and mid's is 23 percent
complete. Florida's Valencia forecast, at 61.0 million boxes, is unchanged
from December 1, but 25 percent more than last season.

The California all orange crop is forecast at 51.0 million boxes, up 4
percent from December 1, but 2 percent below last season. The Navel crop, at
32.0 million boxes, is up 7 percent from December 1 and is 23 percent higher
than the crop harvested in 1984-85. The Navel harvest in California is 24
percent complete. The forecast for the Valencia crop, at 19.0 million boxes,
is unchanged from December 1, but 27 percent below last season.

Arizona's all orange forecast, at 2.50 million boxes, is unchanged from
the December 1 level, but 2 percent above last season. The Texas all orange
crop is forecast at 380 thousand boxes.

Changes in U.S. production between the January 1 forecast and final
production have averaged 17.5 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging
from 680 thousand boxes in 1982-83 to 43.2 million boxes in 1981-82. A freeze
in Florida during January 1982 was the major cause for the 43.2 million box
difference between the January 1, 1982 forecast and final production for
1981-82.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1985-86 yield projection of

Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice is
1.40 gallons per box at 42.0 degree Brix. This yield computation is projected
to the final amount reported by the Florida Citrus Processors Association at
the end of the harvest season. The 1984-85 freeze-reduced final season
average yield was 1.37582 gallons per box. In 1983-84, the FCOJ final yield
was 1,28931 gallons per box which was also affected by freezing weather.

GRAPEFRUIT: The January 1 forecast, exluding California's “other areas" grape-
