CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Excessive winterkill of legume hays in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota caused
some shift to emergency hay crops. Production in the important North Central
States is expected to surpass 1964 by 1 percent with increases in Minnesota,
Nebraska, and the Dakota's more than offsetting sharp declines in Wisconsin
and Iowa.

Acreage of all kinds of hay for harvest this year is forecast at 67.9
million acres, the same as last year but 1 percent above average. Declines
in acreage of clover-timothy, lespedeza, and grain hay were offset by in-
creases for alfalfa, wild hay, and other hay.

Estimated production of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures, 69.4 million tons,
is about the same as lest year, and 2 percent above the 5-year average: The
National uptrend in acreage of alfalfa was slowed by declines in Eastern
States because of alfalfa weevil and drought damage to seedings, and by
severe winter killing in Wisconsin, Iowa and southern Minnesota. Yields in
the North Central States, where two-thirds of the Nation's alfalfa is grown,
is forecast at 2.16 tons per acre, compared with 2.17 tons in 1964 and 2.23
tons for the 5-year average.

The 1965 production of clover, timothy and clover grass mixtures is ex-
pected to reach 18.5 million tons -- 2 percent below last year and 18 percent
below average -- mostly because of the continued decline in acreage in North
Atlantic and North Central States. Acreage for harvest this year is set at
12.5 million and compares with 13.0 million last year and 14.3 million for
the 5-year average.

Production of Lespedeza hay is forecast at 3.2 million tons -- 3 percent
above 1964 but 10 percent under the average. Acreage for harvest was down
but favorable weather in South Central States pushed expected yields well a-
bove last year and the average.

Wila hay production is estimated at 10.5 million tons. This is 1.2 mil-
lion tons above 1964 and 0.8 million above average. Because of favorable
moisture supplies, expected yields are above last year and average in nearly
all producing States. A large production is needed to replenish hay stocks
depleted by heavy winter feeding in the Dakota's and nearby States.

PEANUIS: The acreage of peanuts planted is estimated at 1,547,800 acres -- 2
percent above the 1,521,300 acres planted in 1964 but slightly below
average.

The Virginia-Carolina area, at 286,000 acres, is down slightly from last
year, the reduction occurring in Virginia. North Carolina acreage is un-
changed. In the Southeast planted acreage, at 834,500 acres, is up 4,000
acres from a year earlier. South Carolina and Mississippi are unchanged.
Georgia and Alabama are up 1 percent; Florida is down 3 percent. In the South-
western area the 427,300 acres is up strongly from 1964, with increases in all
States. Texas is up 8 percent, New Mexico 6 percent and Oklahoma is 1 percent
above a year earlier.

Peanuts were in good to excellent condition in most areas as of July 1.
Planting was virtually complete by the end of June. Dry May weather retarded
growth and caused uneven stands early in the season in the Southeast and
hindered growth in the Southwest. June rains in all producing areas increased
soil moisture reserves and aided plant growth. Heavy rains in some areas,
however, caused light damage.

Prices received by producers for all eggs in mid-June averaged 29.9
cents per dozen, up 0.5 cent from a month earlier but down 0.8 cent from
@ year earlier. Farm chicken prices in mid-June averaged 8.7 cents per
pound live weight compared with 8.9 cents per pound a month earlier and
9.0 cents per pound in mid-June 1964. Prices received by producers for
broilers during June averaged 15.7 cents, up 0.4 cent from a month
earlier and up 1.7 cents from June last year. The average cost of poul-
try rations for the United States in mid-June was $3.49 per 100 pounds,
3 cents above both a month earlier and a year earlier. The egg-feed and
farm chicken-feed price ratios in mid-June were less favorable to pro-
ducers than a year earlier, but broiler-feed and the turkey-feed price
ratios were more favorable.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

OATS: Production of oats in 1965 is estimated at 888 million bushels,

up slightly from last year but 15 percent below average. The
average yield of 45.9 bushels per acre is a record high. The 1964
yield was 43,2 bushels per acre and the average is 42.7 bushels. Yields
in most States are above last year and the average.

The crop is in generally good to excellent condition. Most fall
seedings came through the winter with a minimum of demage, and soil
moisture was generally adequate for good growth, Spring planting was
delayed a week or more in many areas because of a late spring and wet
soils, especially in the North Central and Pacific Northwest States,
Some intended acreage was not seeded in Ohio and Michigan because of
wet conditions. Adequate rainfall and ample irrigation water in most
Western States resulted in a general increase in seeded acreage and
acreage expected for harvest. Some abandoned winter wheat acreage in
Colorado and Wyoming was seeded to spring oats.

By July 1, harvest was through or nearing completion in most South-
ern States with generally better than average yields being realized.
Heavy reins in Texas near harvest time caused considerable loss from
lodging, but there were record yields in Oklahoma. Crop development
in the North Central States was good, but delayed due to late planting,
Combining was getting under way in a few southern counties of Kansas and
Illinois, but the crop was still in various stages of heading and
coloring in most other States. Development in the Western States was
also later than usual varying from pre-boot stage to harvest being
well under way. Excellent yields are in prospect for most western
States,

Acreage for harvest-for-grain is estimated at 19,4 million acres,
5 percent below 1964 and 21 percent below average. Acreage is below
last year in most States east of the Mississippi River, most west North
Central States, and in Arizona and California. Increased acreage occurred
in North Dakota, Texas, and in most inter-mountain States, Planted
acreage is 25,1 million acres, 6 percent below last year and 21 percent
below average.

QAT STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of old crop oats on farms July 1 totaled

221 million bushels, 12 percent less than last
year and the average. These were the lowest July 1 farm stocks since
1957, in line with the downward trend of oat production in recent years.
Iowa was the only major oat producing State with larger farm holdings
than a year earlier,

Disappearance from farms during the April-June quarter totaled
182 million bushels, 11 million bushels less than a year earlier.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas. In the Western States only Colorado and
Oregon expect to have crops as large or larger than last year. Of the
5 major apple States which normally account for about 62 percent of the
total crop (Washington, New York, Michigan, Virginia, and California),
only in New York and Virginia are prospects above last year.

In the Eastern and Central States winter kill of fruit buds was light
and late frosts were no problem. Weather during bloom was favorable in
the Eastern States and generally trees have a good set. As of July 1 dry
weather from Virginia north and east continued to be a problem. Bloom and
set were variable in the Central States. Freezes in March and May caused
@ variable set in Washington. In Oregon, December and March freezes damaged
fruit buds in the Milton-Freewater area but other areas have good prospects.
In Utah and New Mexico freezing temperatures during May caused considerable
damage.

Production of apples in the Eastern States is estimated at 65.4 mil-
lion bushels, up 2 percent from last year and 8 percent above average.
New England States expect a larger crop than last year even though rain-
fall has been below average in most areas. The dry weather has favored
spraying operations and scab and insect damage has been light. Bloom
was generally heavy in all areas of New York and the set wes good. in
the Leke Ontario and Champlain Valley areas moisture conditions have gener-
ally been adequate to maintain normal fruit development. Drought con-
ditions in the Hudson Valley hampered fruit development. Trees in New
Jersey have a good set and most varieties are sizing well. Harvest of
Starr is expected to be well underway by mid-July. In Pennsylvania the
set was very good on most varieties, although Yorks, Red Delicious, and
Staymans are somewhat lighter than other varieties. Virginia's apple
erop is in good condition and sizing of the fruit has been good to date.
Prospects for Yorks are down from last year but are more than offset by
a better crop afRed Delicious. Harvest of Yellow Transparents started
dune 24 in the southern areas and July 6 in the North Valley. Rambo har-
vest will start in the southern Piedmont area about July 26. All varieties
in North Carolina have a good set and prospects point to a much larger
than average crop. In West Virginia harvest of Yellow Transparent and Lodi
varieties began the last week of June.

The forecast for the Central States is 27.9 million bushels, down
10 percent from last year but 12 percent above average. Production in
Michigan is expected to be 15.5 million bushels, one million less than
last year but well above average. There is a uniform set in most areas
and moisture supplies are adequate. Prospects for Delicious apples are
down from last year. Summer apples are expected to be in good supply
after mid-July. In Ohio limited rainfall has restricted sizing but
permitted good control of scab and insects, except for locusts in the
Southeast. Harvest of summer varieties started the second week of July
in southern Ohio.

In the eight western apple States a crop of 38.2 million bushels is
forecast, down 14 percent from last year but 3 percent larger than average.

Ohio rainfall continued very light through June and reported pasture
condition declined 15 points from June 1 to the lowest July 1 level since
1936. Lack of June rainfall in Indiana, Illinois, and southern Wisconsin
also slowed growth. On July 1, pastures were the best of several years in
most of the West North Central States. Heavy rains at mid-June almost eli-
minated drought conditions in western Kansas and Nebraska.

Pasture feed was better than usual for July 1 in most South Central
States, except for dry areas in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Re-
ported condition on July 1 was highest for the date in 6 years or more in
Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

In the West, July 1 reported pasture condition was better than usual
for all States except Washington and Oregon, where short soil moisture and
cool nights slowed growth in June. Heavy mid-June rains in eastern Colorado
and northern New Mexico, stimulated good growth on pastures and ranges
damaged by many months of drought. In California, livestock were moved to
higher summer ranges during June. On lower elevation ranges dry grass is
heavier than usual.

MILK PRODUCTION: June milk production in the United States is estimated at

11,863 million pounds, slightly above both June 1964 and
the 1959-63 average for the month. For the first half of 1965, average
deily milk production was about 1 percent above the corresponding period last
year.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

SUGAR BEETS: ‘The 1965 production of sugar beets -- 21,568,000 tons -- is ex-

ceeded only by the past two crops. A crop of this size would be
8 percent less than for the two preceding years but 16 percent above average.
Current prospects are for a yield of 17.1 toms per acre. ‘his compares with
16.8 tons last year end the average of 17.6 tons.

Growers planted 1,319,000 acres of sugar beets, a decrease of 10 percent
from the 1964 record acreage but 19 percent more than the 1959-63 average. With
an allotment of 1,375,000 acres, sugar beets are being grown under acreage con-
trols for the first time since 1960. Growers are expected to harvest 1,265,000
acres of beets, 9 percent less than last year.

Although cool, wet weather delayed planting of sugar beets in the eastern
part of the area, most of the crop has made satisfactory growth and the outlook

is good. An exception is Michigan where stands are spotted and progress has been
poor.

Irrigation water in ell irrigated sugar beet areas is ample and no short-
ages are expected. Heavy rains and flooding in mid-June in Nebraska, Kansas,
and Colorado destroyed some beets and thinned stands materially but the acreage
loss is light. The rains restored irrigation water, and the warm, dry weather
since has aided crop development. Sugar beets have developed rapidly in the
Northwest end prospects are for a good crop. Harvest is underway in the Imperial
Valley of California and will start in the San Joaquin Valley in early July.

SUGARCANE FOR SUGAR AND SEED: The Mainland crop of sugarcane for sugar and seed

is forecast at 14,010,000 tons, 2 percent smaller
than the record set last year but 43 percent greater than average. Expected
production of 10,622,000 tons in Hawaii, down less than 1 percent from last year,
brings the United States total to 24,632,000 tons.

With proportionate shares (acreage allotments) in effect this year, Main-
land growers expect to harvest 498,000 acres of sugarcane, 12 percent below last
year but about one-third above average. In Hawaii 113,000 acres are expected to
be harvested -- a decrease of 3,000 acres from 196}.

Rains during the last three weeks of June benefited Florida sugarcane and
accelerated its growth. A reletively dry spring enabled Louisiana growers to
keep the crop clean and well cultivated but growth of cane was slow. Although
general showers in late June supplied needed moisture, a good rain would be
beneficial.

In Hawaii, grinding got underway in early January and 568,930 tons of sugar,
raw value, had been produced to June 26, compared with 619,797 tons by June
27, 1964.

DRY BEANS: Production of dry beans is forecast at 20.7 million bags (100 pounds
clean basis), 16 percent above last year's crop and 8 percent above average.

An expected yield above last year, combined with a larger acreage for harvest,
boosted production prospects for the 1965 crop.

was favorable and the crop made good progress. Indicated “Other pear”
production is also about 1.4 million bushels (34,600 tons), unchanged
from last month. June weather favored the development of this crop.

Bartlett production in Oregon is expected to total 2.2 million
bushels (55,000 tons), an increase of 5 percent from last month, but still
6 percent below last year. Crop development was good during June in both
the Medford and Hood River areas and fruit drop was not as severe as pre-
viously anticipated. Some thinning has been necessary. Other type pears
in Oregon are estimated at 3 million bushels (75,000 tons), 15 percent
more than last year. The crop made good growth during June and prospects
continue good in both Medford and Hood River areas. Demands on irriga-
tion have been heavy due to the relatively dry weather since February.

Michigan, the largest pear producing State outside the Pacific Coast,
is expecting a crop of 1.2 million bushels. This is 37 percent less than
last year's production and 18 percent below average.

GRAPES: The Nation's 1965 grape production estimate is 3,612,700 tons, a
record large crop, up 9 percent from 1964 and 17 percent above

average. The large crop results from indicated record crops in New York,

Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Arizona and a near record crop in California.

The California grape crop, at 3,470,000 tons, is 10 percent larger
than last year and only 1 percent below the record crop of 1963. Produc-
tion of raisin varieties, at 2,200,000 tons, is 8 percent more than last
year and 19 percent above average. Weather conditions were favorable
except for some cool days which may have slowed bunch growth. Table
variety grapes, estimated at 630,000 tons, are 22 percent above last sea-
son and 15 percent above average. Harvest of table grapes in the
Coachella Valley is nearly complete. Kern County harvest of table grapes
was expected to start around July 8. Wine varieties, at 640,000 tons,
are up 5 percent from last season and 13 percent above average.

The Arizona crop, principally European types, is forecast at 24,000
tons, well above both last season and average. Harvest of early varieties
started during the first week of June and picking of Thompson Seedless
began about June 28,

Prospects in the Great Iakes area (New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and
Michigan) are for 257,000 tons, 5 percent more than last year and 23 per-
cent above average. New York expects a record crop, 8 percent above last
season and 18 percent above average. A record crop is also indicated for
Pennsylvania, with production 18 percent more than last season and 32
percent above average. In Ohio, present prospects indicate a crop 6 per-
cent above last season and 18 percent above average. In Michigan, the
crop is estimated 7 percent below last year's large crop, but 27 percent
above average.

In both North and South Carolina estimated production is above both
last season and average. In Georgia, disease is heavy in some vineyards
but production is expected to be above last year. Jn Arkansas, produc-
tion prospects are below last year and average. In Washington, grapes
suffered from freeze damage and production is expected to be 29 percent
less than last season and 27 percent below average.

favorable conditions. Most flue-cured areas received heavy rains during the
latter half of June and some drowning occurred, particularly in eastern North
Carolina. Crop appearance and ¢rowing conditions around July 1 were ex~
cellent in fire-cured, dark air-cured, Maryland, and major burley areas, In
cigar filler and binder areas, conditions were generally favorable but soil
conditions were becoming dry.

Flue-cured production is forecast at 1,169 million pounds -- 16 percent
below 1964 and 8 percent below average. This estimate represents the total
outturn expected from the current crop, regardless of the disposition to be
made of leaf produced under the new acreage-poundage program. Brightleaf
acreage for harvest is estimated at 568,300 acres, or 9 percent less than in
1964. This level is substantially above the March intentions, and is attrib-
uted to the acreage-poundage program, which reduced acreage allotments 5 per-
cent below 1964 rather than 19.5 percent as under the old system. A yield of
2,056 pounds per acre is indicated for the type 11-14 belt, 155 pounds below
1964 but still the second highest of record.

Production of burley is indicated at 619 million pounds, about the same
as 1964 but 3 percent above average. Producers plan to harvest about 277,600
acres, 9 percent less than last year. A yield of about 2,231 pounds is prob-
able, @ tie with 1963 for the all time high.

Fire-cured production is estimated at 51.8 million pounds compared with
55.1 million a season earlier. Type 21-23 acreage for harvest is estimated
at 29,800, down 7 percent from 1964. The expected yield of 1,739 pounds is
a record high.

The outlook for the Southern Maryland crop is placed at 37.4 million
pounds, which would be harvested from 34,000 acres with a record-high yield
of 1,100 pounds. About 41.0 million pounds were produced in 1964 on 39,000
acres -~ a yield of about 1,050 pounds.

Poundage of dark air-cured, types 35-37 combined, is forecast at 22.5
million, off 8 percent from last year. Acres to be harvested are estimated
at 12,700 -- down 10 percent. A record high yield of 1,772 pounds is indi-
cated.

Among cigar types, filler growers expect to produce about 52.5 million
pounds on 30,900 acres for an average yield of 1,700 pounds. Last year,
about 51.7 million pounds were produced on 30,700 acres. Binder production,
forecast at 25.9 million pounds, will be harvested from about 1h, 300 acres,
yielding an average of about 1,809 pounds. In 1964, 25.6 million pounds
were harvested from 13,700 acres. For wrapper, estimated production at
23.3 million pounds and acres at 15,600 are both record high, indicating
a yield per acre of 1,494 pounds. In 1964, 21.1 million pounds were pro-
duced on 13,800 acres. ‘The ydeld was record high -- 1,526 pounds per acre.

APPLES: An apple crop of 131.5 million bushels is forecast for 1965, down
6 percent from last year but 7 percent above the 1959-63 average
of 122.6 million bushels. All of the Eastern States except New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia expect larger crops than last
year. Production is expected to be down in all Central States except

POULTRY AND EGGS: Egg production during June totaled 5,436 million eggs,

up 1 percent from June 1964 and up 4 percent from the
June average. Numbers of layers on hand during June averaged 1 percent
below the previous month but up fractionally from the June average a year
earlier. Rate of lay adjusted for change in number of days decreased 2
percent from May to June. Accumulative egg production for the first half
of 1965 was 33,082 million eggs, down fractionally from the corresponding
period of 1964,

The South Atlantic and South Central regions had record high egg pro-
duction in June, but in the East North Central States production was a
record low. Egg production was up 6 percent from a year earlier in the
South Atlantic and 4 percent in the South Central regions. Production was
down 3 percent in the West North Central, 2 percent in the North Atlantic,
1 percent in the East North Central, and down a bit in the West.

Rate of lay per layer during June was 18.75 compared with 18.70 during
June 1964. By regions, the West North Central and the South Atlantic show-
ed a 1 percent increase, but the North Atlantic, East North Central, South
Central, and West were the Same as a year earlier.

The number of layers on hand July 1 in the United States totaled
289,285,000, up 1 percent from the same date last year but down a little
from June 1, 1965. Compared to a year earlier layer numbers were up 5 per-
cent in the South Atlantic and the South Central regions. Numbers were down
3 percent in the West North Central and 1 percent in both the North Atlantic
and East North Central. In the West July 1 layers were the same as a year
earlier. The rate of lay in the United States on July 1 was 61.6 eggs per
100 layers. This is about the same as a year earlier but 3 percent less
than a month earlier.

FLAXSEED STOCKS ON FARMS: Flaxseed stored on farms July 1 totaled 2,5 million

bushels, 70 percent above a year earlier and 51 per-
eent above average. Most of these stocks were in the Dakota's and Minnesota,
North Dakota accounts for two-thirds of the National total.

Disappearance of flaxseed from farms during April-June was 4,1 million bush-
els compared with 6.3 million for the same period in 1964 and the average of 5.4
million bushels.

SORGHUMS: Acreage of sorghums planted for all purposes at 17 million acres is
1 percent above last year and 1 percent below average. Plantings
turned out one-half million acres below intentions reported in March because
growers in Texas and Kansas planted less acreage than originally indicated,
Planted acreage increased over 1964 in most North Central and Western States, *

Wet fields delayed early planting in most North Central States and dry
soils caused delays inthe South Atlantic and South Central States, More favor~-
able weather later alleviated these conditions, and near normal planting ac~
tivity was resumed in all areas, The crop, where emerged, was generally making
good progress in all regions,

In Texas, where 36 percent of the acreage is being grown, lack of rains in
April and Mey hurt the dryland acreage in the extreme southern counties, From
the Coastal Bend northward to the Red River, yield prospects are unusually prom-
ising. Combining was underway by mid-June in the Lower Valley. In the Coastal
Bend region, the crop was showing color, It had headed or was about to head
across the Blacklands, Favorable soil moisture conditions prevail in Oklahoma,
Kansas, and Nebraska promoting good germination and stands, In Colorado, recent
rains greatly improved soil moisture, Some abandoned winter wheat acreage has
been replanted to sorghums, In New Mexico, good stands have been obtained in
the dryland areas due to adequate soil moisture,

Acreage harvested for all purposes is indicated at 16.5 million acres, 3
percent larger than last year, The first forecast of sorghum grain production
will be published in August.

SORGHUM GRAIN STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of sorghum grain on farms on July 1 totaled
62 million bushels, about one and a half million
bushels less than a year earlier but 40 percent above the average, Nearly three-
fifths of these holdings were under CCC loan or purchase agreement, Of the major
sorghum States, farm holdings were up sharply from a year earlier in Nebraska,
while stocks in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas were down sharply. Disappearance
during the April-June quarter was 36 million bushels, 23 percent less than last
year and 44 percent below average.

RICE: Production of rice is expected to total 72.4 million bags, 1 percent below
the record 1964 harvest, but 21 percent above average. Acreage for harvest

in 1965, at 1.8 million acres, is slightly less than harvested in 1964. The

1965 national rice acreage allotment was virtually unchanged from last year.

July 1 crop prospects pointed to a yield of 4,063 pounds per harvested acre, 32

pounds below the record 1964 yield,

Farm Stocks of Feed Grains and Oilseeds Down

Farm stored feed grains totaled 41.7 million tons on July 1, 17
percent less than a year earlier and 7 percent below average for the
date. Disappearance of feed grains from farms during the April-June
quarter was less than both last year and average.

Farm stocks of food grains were up sharply. Wheat stocks were
76 percent greater than last year's low farm carry-over and farm hold-
ings of rye were 59 percent larger.

Stocks of soybeans held by farmers were less than one-third the
July 1964 total, but flaxseed producers had 70 percent more stocks.

Summer Vegetables Above Last Year

Summer production of fresh market vegetables is 1 percent greater
than a year ago, but 2 percent less than average. Summer totals are
indicated to be less than last year for cantaloups, snap beans, lettuce
and onions. Larger crops are expected for cabbage, carrots, celery,
sweetcorn, tomatoes and watermelons.

The 1965 acreage of nine vegetable crops planted for commercial
processing totals 5 percent more than last year and 3 percent above
average.

Potato and Sweetpotato Acreages Increase

The combined acreage of all seasonal groups of potatoes is 9 per-
cent larger than last year and 2 percent above average. Acreages have
been greater than last year for each seasonal group except early summer
with the major fall crop acreage up 8 percent. Indicated production of
late summer potatoes is more than last year, but below average.

Production of sweetpotatoes is 8 percent above last year's small
crop, but 3 percent less than average.

Deciduous Fruit Prospects Above Average

The indicated production of deciduous fruits is 1 percent under
last year, but 10 percent above average. Production of apples, pears,
and cherries is expected to fall short of last year. All fruits ex-
cept pears are expected to be above average. A record crop of grapes is
in prospect. Sour cherry production is expected to be the second largest
of record, exceeded only in 1964. Apple production is forecast at 6
percent below last year most of the reduction is in Central and Western
States. Output of peaches in the 9 Southern States is sharply above
last year's freeze-damaged crop and more than offsets the smaller crops
forecast in many States. Moisture will be necessary for continued favor-
able development and sizing of fruit in the North Atlantic and North
Central States.

Wisconsin and Indiana have the same size acreage as in 1964 while South
Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa have less acreage. In Michigan, planting was
completed rapidly after a slow start but the crop is a little late. The
season in Wisconsin is late and light frosts also set the crop back some.
In the Red River Valley, most potatoes were planted later than usual
pecause mid-spring raine delayed field work. Weather, since planting,

has been favorable and the crop has made good growth. The eight eastern
fall States have 271,100 acres for harvest, 1 percent more than 1964,

but 1 percent less than the 5-year average, Maine, with 148,000 acres, has
2 percent more than in 1964. Planting in Maine was completed a few days
earlier than usual and the crop has made a good start. Rainfall in
Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island was short during May and June.
Planting on Long Island was completed at about the normal time. Stands
are generally good but rainfall has been light. Weather in Upstate New
York was favorable for planting and all acreage except some late muck land
was planted by the end of May. In Pennsylvania, planting was completed
rapidly. Lack of moisture inMayand June slowed growth which offset the
early planting and general development was about normal by late June. The
first forecast of fall production will be August 10.

Early summer potato production is indicated at 11,298,000 hundred-
weight, 2 percent less than 1964 and 18 percent less than average. The
July 1 forecast is almost the same as a month earlier. The Eastern Shore
of Virginia was dry until reins fell about mid-June. ‘The moisture bene-
fited the crop in the northern section but was too late for most of the
nearly mature acreage in the southern half of the area. Yields from early
diggings in the southern section were low. Maryland prospects were im~
proved by June rains. Prospects declined during June in Delaware as a
result of dry weather even though much of that acreage is irrigated.
Kentucky has had some dry weather in the main potato area while conditions
have been favorable for early summer potatoes in North Carolina, Tennessee,
and Georgia.

Light harvest started on the. Eastern Shore of Virginia about mid-June
and in Tennessee, Kansas, Texas, and California in late June. Volume
movement from the Eastern Shore and Texas was expected in early July and from
California about mid-July. Harvest in Delaware is expected to start about
mid-July and in North Carolina, the last week of July.

late spring production is estimated at 25,059,000 hundredweight, ok
percent more than 1964 but only 2 percent more than the 5-year average.
The estimate is down slightly from June 1 because of lower production in
Alabama and Arizona than indicated earlier. Harvest was well along or
complete in most areas. Movement from California, which accounts for
two-thirds of the late spring crop, was heavy through June with peak
volume about mid-month. Shipments were expected to drop sharply in July
although movement from the central San Joaquin Valley will continue well
into August. In Texas, harvest was nearly completed by July 1. Baldwin
County, Alabama harvest was completed in June and harvest in the Sand
Mountain area was progressing rapidly by July 1. Harvest in northeast
North Carolina is expected to finish about mid-July.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Harvest of 1964-65 crop Florida oranges and grapefruit was virtually
over by the end of June. Rain during the last 3 weeks of June provided
ample soil moisture and trees reaponded well. Young trees showed much
late bloom. New crop (1965-66) fruit was sizing well and droppage has
been only moderate. In general prospects were good.

California growers had harvested about 35 percent of the 1964-65
Valencia crop, leaving nearly 11 million boxes for harvest during the
balance of summer and fall, compared with 8.3 million a year ago. The
sizes of oranges are larger than in other recent years, and the quantity
going to processors is greater than usual because of granulation. Har
vest of Desert Valleys grapefruit is expected to end by mid-July, and
supplies for the remainder of summer will be “other areas" grapefruit.
In San Bernardino County grapefruit are small, but in other counties
fruit is of better size. Lemon harvest is expected to decline sharply
the latter part of July. There is a good set of 1965-66 crop Navel
oranges in California. Prospects for new crop Valencias are not as
good as for Navels. The set of 1965-66 crop grapefruit is somewhat
spotty although there is an increase in acreage. In the Desert Valleys
older groves have a lighter crop than the young groves. Lemon trees
had a good early set of fruit but the late set has been delayed.

In Texas the water supply is expected to be adequate to keep trees
in good condition. Fruit shedding has been light so far this season.
Prospects for the 1965-66 Arizona Valencia oranges are good although
the set of fruit is generally light.

SWEET CHERRIES: The July 1 forecast of sweet cherries is 87,990 tons,

down 26 percent from last year but 2 percent above
average. Most of the decrease from last year is the result of smaller
production in Washington, Utah, and Montana. Michigan is the only State
where production is expected to exceed last year, but aps’ equal to 196k
are forecast for Pennsylvania and Colorado.

In the Great Lakes area, production is forecast at 29,900 tons, down
2 percent from the June forecast 5 percent below last year but 55 percent
above average. In New York harvest was active at the end of June. Small
sizes reduced prospective production from earlier forecasts. Pennsyl-
vania's cherries have sized well and harvest was active by the end of
June. Harvest started in southwestern Michigan the last week of June.
Rain is needed for sizing but excessive moisture could cause cracking.
Production in the Western States is forecast at 58,090 tons, down 34
percent from last year and 14 percent below average. Harvest of Cal-
ifornia's 30,000 ton crop was practically complete at the end of June.
In Oregon, picking was active the last half of June. Orchards in the
Willamette Valley are turning out good tonnage, but production is very
light at The Dalles, Hood River, and La Grande. In Colorado, cool, wet
weather in June caused heavy droppage thus reducing earlier expectations.
Harvest is expected to be practically complete by mid-July. Idaho's
erop has good size and color. Harvest was active at the end of June. In
Washington, Montana, and Utah production will be very light because of
winter freezes and frost during bloom.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

CROP REPORT AS OF JULY 1, 1965

Development of 1965 crops is somewhat behind the normal pace,
However, July 1 prospects are favorable except in dry areas in the North-
east, according to the Crop Reporting Board. Spring work made a slow
start but total planted acreage was slightly more than last year with
major expansions in soybeans and winter wheat. Indicated feed grain
production is larger than the drought-reduced 1964 output. Prospects
for winter wheat improved during June. Milk and egg production during
June surpassed both last year and the average.

Total Crop Acreage Slightly Larger

Crops planted for 1965 harvest total 308 million acres -- 1.5
million more than the 1964 total and 2 percent above the record low of
301 million acres planted for 1962 harvest, Total acreage of feed
grains declined, although sorghum plantings exceed last year. Farmers
were able to plant most intended crop acreages although there were some
indicated shifts from spring grains to later seeded crops.

The indicated total acreage for harvest in 1965 shows a smaller
gain than planted acreage. Acreage losses after planting are expected
to be larger than during the 1964 season particularly for winter wheat.
The current estimate of 294 million acres for harvest in 1965 is 1.0
million acres more than last year.

Crop Prospects More Promising Than Year Earlier

Prospects for "all crops" as reported by farmers for their local-
ities are rated as good to excellent over more of the Nation than a
year ago (See map page 5). Only a few pockets of poor to fair prospects
are scattered in the important North Central Region.

The Northeastern part of the country has the largest area of poor
to fair crop prospects, May and June rains were light and scattered in
the area from eastern Indiana across central Ohio, Dry solls also plague
farmers from West Virginia across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, southeastern
New York and southern New England. Early season crops have been damaged
and good summer rains will be required for late crops.

Prospects were lowered by an early May dry spell in the southern
areas, Moisture supplies are improved, but cool weather has held
back development in scattered areas,

The area in eastern Colorado and western Kansas that was critically
ary earlier in the season showed up as having "all crop" prospects
mostly fair with only small areas of very poor to near failure. Winter
grains were damaged extensively, but sorghums and other lete planted
crops had currently favorable growing conditions. Good to excellent.
prospects predominated in the western States except for small areas
chiefly where winter freezes and floods upset 1965 crop prospects,

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Production in the Southern area is expected to total a record 57.8 mil-
lion bags, 1 percent above 1964. Seeding was on schedule this season with
stands generally good. Control of grass and weeds has been effective and
fields are generally clean. In Texas, harvest of early varieties is expected
to be underway by mid-July. General harvest in the Southern area will be
slightly earlier than last year when wet weather delayed seeding.

The condition of the California rice crop is below last year. Planting
was delayed by wet weather during the first half of April and winds at seed-
ing time caused some spotty stands. Acreage for harvest in California is
indicated 1 percent below last year. This reduction, combined with lower
yield prospects, is expected to reduce the California crop 9 percent below
last year.

COTTON; Cotton planted in the United States this year is estimated at

14,205,000 acres, 4 percent less than in 1964 and 11 percent less
than the 1959-63 average. Upland cotton allotment of 16.2 million acres was
the same as in 1964 but heavier participation in the Domestic allotment pro-
gram than last year and a reduction in the allotment of American-Egyptian
cotton account for the decrease in acreage. The sign-up by upland growers
to limit plantings this year to about 65 percent of their allotments under
the Domestic Allotment Program was heaviest in Southeastern States and Okla-
homa, moderate in all other States, but very light in California.

In the Eastern and Central Belts cool, wet weather in March and April
delayed land preparation and planting. Soils warmed up in May and planting
was rapid. With only limited rainfall during May, soils dried and wany grow-
ers had to replant. Late May and June rains improved stands and caused rapid
plant growth, but stand and growth are somewhat irregular. Excessive June
rains in many areas hindered cultivation and increased insect infestations.
Late June weather was favorable and the crop was making good progress on
July 1.

In Texas, heavy rains in May and June provided moisture for early sea-
son growth in central and southern areas and for planting in the northwest.
Crop prospects are very good in the Lower Valley and growth is relatively
heavy in the Coastal Bend. Plants are fruiting in central areas under favor~
able moisture conditions. The early irrigated acreage on the High Plains
is beginning to square. Cool weather delayed planting in Oklahoma and there
was more than average replanting following heavy rains in southwestern
Oklahoma. In Arizona and California cool weather and crusting soils result-
ed in poor germination and considerable replanting. Growth was slow and the
crop is two to three weeks late, although otherwise in good condition.

HAY; Hay production during 1965 is expected to tctal 118 million tons--1
“~~ percent above last year and the 5-year average. Acreage for harvest

is unchanged from last year and a good yield prospect over most of the Nation
is responsible for the production increase. Cool weather early in the sea-
son slowed growth of hay crops in most Central and Western States, but gener-
ally favorable moisture conditions prevailed and yield prospects in most

of those areas are good to excellent. The outlook is poor in the North
Atlantic region where moisture shortages, damage from alfalfa weevil, and
poor stands following successive dry years has dropped prospects 5 percent
below last year's poor crop and 16 percent below average.

-19-


CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

in July -- corn, barley, and oats -~ is 8 percent more than the 1964 total.
Acreage planted to feed grains in 1965 totaled 3 percent less than last
year with sorghum the only crop showing expanded acreage.

Boost _In Soybeans Dominates Oilseed Acreage

Soybean acreage continued to expand rapidly, setting a new record
of 35.6 million acres -~ 12 percent more than last year's previous high.
Increases occurred in nearly all producing States.

Cotton acreage declined 4 percent from last year as greater parti-~
cipation in the Domestic allotment progran and a reduction in the allot-
ment of American-Egyptian cotton lowered 1965 plantings. Peanut acreage
increased 2 percent from 1964, mostly in the southwestern area. The 1965
production of flaxseed may be 10 percent more than last year as higher
yield prospects more than offset a 3 percent reduction in acreage.

Tobacco and Sugar Crops Smaller - More Dry Beans

The first forecast of 1965 production of all tobacco is 10 percent
smaller than last year and 4 percent less than average. Most of the
decline came from a reduced acreage for harvest as the expected average
yield is only slightly less than last year's record high.

Sugarcane production in Louisiana and Florida is expected to be 2
percent smaller than last year's record high. Production in Hawaii is
less than 1 percent. The indicated production cf sugar beets is tHe
third highest of record, exceeded only by the 1963 and 1964 crops.

Dry bean production is currently expected to be 16 percent larger
than last year's crop and 8 percent above average. Production of dry
peas is expected to be one-fifth smaller than last year although a
higher yield per acre partly offsets a sharply reduced acreage.

Hay and Pastures Prospects Bright

Prospects for hay and pasture crops are more favorable than last
year and everege in most of the Nation except the dry Northeast.
Reported pasture condition on July 1 was 84 percent of normal, 6
points higher than a year ago. Ample rains in Central and Southern
areas boosted pasture prospects during June, but pasture condition
declined during the month in each of the North Atlantic States.

Indicated production of all hay for 1965 is 1 percent greater than
both last year and average. Acreage for harvest is unchanged, but
yheld prospects are above last year in most States except those in
the Northeast.


CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

The crop in Oregon is expected to be larger than last year and no change
is expected for Colorado. The other States have fewer apples. The
Washington crop is forecast at 24.7 million bushels, down 3 percent from
last year but 11 percent above average. In the Yakima Valley, winesaps
were hard hit by the December freeze and the Red Delicious crop is also
light in many orchards. Golden Delicious have a heavy set and many growers
are thinning. Prospects are good in the Wenatchee area where freeze damage
was not severe. Sets of Red and Golden Delicious are good but Winesap
production will be down. Production in the Wenatchee area is expected to
exceed last year. Orchards at Hood River, Oregon came through the winter
in good condition and favorable weather during April resulted in a good
set. At Milton-Freewater winter and spring freeze damage resulted in a
light crop. Other areas of Oregon have near an average crop.

California production is forecast at 7.5 million bushels, 40 percent
less than last year and 23 percent below average. The set is spotty be-
cause of rains during bloom. Spring rains interfered with spray programs,
resulting in some scab infestation. Trees have been affected by mildew
and other diseases. The crop is late and picking of Gravensteins is not
expected to begin until mid-July or later.

PEACHES: The Nation's 1965 peach crop is expected to total 82.4 million

bushels, up 11 percent from last year and 9 percent above aver-
age. Most of the increase is in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama,
where the annual increase is expected to be 11.6 million bushels, more than
offsetting smaller crops expected in many other States. Washington's crop
is a near failure because of winter and spring freezes.

California's Clingstone peach crop, used primarily for canning, is
estimated at 36.7 million bushels, up 1 percent from last year and 31 per-
cent above average. The estimate excludes peaches eliminated by green
drop under provisions of the State Marketing Order. Production of Free-
stone peaches in California is forecast at 13.5 million bushels compared
with 13.7 million bushels in 1964. Harvest of early variety Freestones was
underway during June.

The July 1 forecast for the 9 Southern States at 17.2 million bushels
although down 2 percent from last month, is more than triple last year's
freeze damaged crop. In Georgia, moisture shortage in May resulted in
losses of early varieties because of small size. Rain from June 10-17
caused further losses, reducing quality of the fruit, and delaying harvest.
Growers couldn't spray effectively and brown rot was prevalent in many
areas. Weather was favorable for harvest the last half of June. There
was heavy movement of Keystone, Redhaven, Southland, Loring, and Sunhigh
varieties at the end of June. In South Carolina, rains during June slowed
harvest and caused over-lapping of varieties. By July 1 Redhavens and
Beauty Gems moved in volume and Keystones began to ripen, but a gap is
expected between Keystones and Southlands. Prospects for Elbertas and
later varieties remain good. North Carolina's crop was making satis-
factory progress.

In Alabama, June rains helped fruit sizing. Brown-rot was under

control and quality, good. In Arkansas, harvest of
early varieties was about complete and picking of

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

CORN STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of corn on farms July 1 totaled 1,265 million

bushels, down 17 percent from the 1,524 million
bushels held a year earlier. Disappearance of corn from farms during the
April-June quarter was less than last year especially in the North and South
Central regions.

Corn stocks on farms were less than last year in the Central and
Western regions. The North and South Atlantic States kept more corn on
farms than a year earlier. The West North Central region was the only area
with above average corn stocks, exceeding the 1959-63 average by 7 percent.

ALL WHEAT: Production of all wheat is forecast at 1,354 million bushels,

5 percent above last year and 14 percent above average. Yield
per harvested acre is estimated at 27.2 bushels, 1.8 bushel above 1964 and
2.7 bushels above average. The acreage of all wheat for harvest as grain
is expected to total 49.8 million acres, 1 percent above a year earlier and
2 percent above average.

WINTER WHEAT: The winter wheat crop is now estimated at 1,070 million bush-
“oat els, 5 percent above the June 1 forecast, 4 percent above
1964 and 11 percent above average. Yield per harvested acre is indicated
at 28.2 bushels, the second highest of record. Acreage for harvest as grain
is expected to total 37.9 million acres, slightly more than in 1964 and
average. June rains slowed harvest and combining was well behind the fast
1964 pace and slightly behind average By duly 1,combining was about half
done in Kansas, well along in Illinois, and becoming general in southern
Ohio and Indiana. Harvest was virtually complete in Texas and Oklahoma,
except in the Panhandle where wet fields caused delays.

The Plains States, where winter wheat made a spectacular recovery as
a result of abundant rainfall in May and June, accounted for most of the in-
crease from thedumel forecast. The rains, which revived some stands that
were thought lost, also were very beneficial for filling of heads. Floods
and wet field conditions, which promote the spread of stem rust, partially
offset the beneficiel effects of the rains. Floods along the Arkansas
River caused some loss of acreage in Colorado and Kansas, although farmers
in Kansas harvested some fields ahead of the on-rushing water. By July 1,
rust was becoming apparent in wheat fields from northern Kansas and Colorado,
through Nebraska into South Dakota, but it was too early to determine its
effect on yields. Early reports on quality of Kansas wheat indicated
test weight well above last year, and average. Protein content was below
1964, and average.

In the Corn Belt, June weather was favorable for heading and filling, Com-
plete abandonment from winter damage, was not quite as great as reported
earlier because farmers kept some spotty stands.

In the Northeast, June showers supplied sufficient moisture for
wheat growth. The crop was maturing rapidly and harvest about to start.
In the South, harvest neared ccmgletion and yields generally equaled ear-
lier expectations.

Cold weather slowed development of the Montana crop but prospects con-
tinue favorable. In the Pacific Northwest, June temperatures were not ex-
cessive and there was enough moisture for good development. Early matur-
ing fields were turning color and harvest was expected to start.in early July.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Tonnage of almonds, filberts, and walnuts is expected to be 2 percent
under last year but 17 percent above average. Almond output is forecast
above 1964 and average, but filberts are expected to fall short of last
year and average. The walnut crop is indicated to be 5 percent under 1964
‘but 17 percent above average.

Citrus production during the 1964-65 season is 23 percent above last
year but 2 percent below average. Production ofall citrus fruits except
lemons is above last year.

CORN: Production of corn for grain in 1965 is expected to total 3.9

billion bushels -- 10 percent more than last year's drought reduc-
ed crop. A crop of this size would be 2 percent above average but 4 per-
cent below the record 1963 crop. The indicated acreage of corn to be
harvested for grain in 1965 is slightly more than last year, but 10 percent
less than average. A 1965 yield of 68.3 bushels per acre is forecast,
based on crop prospects on July 1. ‘his yield is sharply above the
drought-lowered 1964 level of 62.1 bushels, and a bushel above the record
high in 1963.

Acreage of corn planted for all purposes totaled 66.2 million acres ~-
2 percent less than last year and 10 percent below average. Acreage
planted in the important North Central Region was 1 percent below last
year. However, within this area acreage expanded in the three central
Corn Belt States with the largest corn acreages: Iowa, Illinois, and
Indiana, and increased in Wisconsin. It was the same as last year in Ohio,
but declined in all other North Central States, more than offsetting
the acreage expansions.

Increased corn acreage was indicated in most North and Mid-Atlantic
States as farmers try to increase feed and roughage supplies after three
dry years. Corn acreage continued to decline in the South Atlantic and
South Central Regions, but in most Western States acreage was greater
than last year.

The 1965 planting season closely resembled last year. Wet soils in
March and April delayed field work, but activity accelerated early in May
and planting was completed at about the usual time. Cool, wet weather
held progress behind last year in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and the Dakota's,
Damage from late May frosts extended into northern Iowa and Illinois,
where farmers replanted some acreage. Early planted fields became weedy,
but cultivation was rapid as soils dried. Topsoils became too ary for
optimum growth early in June, especially in Eastern Corn Belt areas, but
late June rains brought generally adequate moisture supplies.

Deficient spring rainfall in the North Atlantic area has threatened
the corn crop with the fourth potential drought season. Showers have
about met current needs, but rains will be needed through the season as
soil moisture reserves are low. In southern areas, timely May rains
relieved a dry area along the Gulf Coast and continued frequent showers
have provided good growing conditions. In Western areas, the crop was
delayed by cool weather earlier in the season but prospects are good and
water supplies favorable.

Washington, a 37 percent increase. In the other leading late summer pro~
ducing States, larger crops are indicated for New Jersey, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Colorado, and Californie, while smaller crops than 1964 are ex-
pected in Michigan and New York (Long Island).

In Massachusetts and Rhode Island, stands were good but soil moisture
has been deficient for best growth-particularly in Rhode Island. Harvest
is expected to start after mid-July. Stands and vine growth on Long Island
were good, although development of non-irrigated potatoes has been held
back by dry weather. In New Jersey, rainfall during June was light and
irrigation was active. Light harvest is expected by mid-July and general
digging by the end of the month. Late summer potatoes in southeast Penn-
sylvania were making a fairly good set of tubers but needed moisture on
July 1. Digging is expected to start in late July. Maryland and West Vir-
ginie potatoes also needed moisture while Virginia and NorthCarolina late
summer potatoes were in good condition. In Indiana, stands were generally
good and growers in the Vincennes area were expected to start digging about
July 5. ‘The Bay County, Michigan crop is about 10 days later then last year.
Harvest of early fields is expected to start in mid-July. Set of tubers
and stands are good. Moisture in Minnesota has been adequate for good
growth and early summer potatoes are in excellent condition. Harvest in
Nebraska will start a little later than last year. Condition of the crop
was good except for some hail-damaged acreage in the Kearney area. Cool,
wet weather in Colorado slowed growth the first three weeks of June and
there has been some rain and hail damage. Shipments are expected to start
the last week of July. In Washington, weather conditions to July 1 were
very favoreble for tuber set and plant growth, and some early Reds were
harvested. Volume movement of Reds is expected about mid-July. Digging
of Long Whites and Early Gems is expected about mid-July and digging of
Russets, the first of August. The California crop is 7 to 10 days late
because of cool weather but prospects are very good. Harvest is expected
to start in San Joaquin County by mid-July and in the Sante Maria-(iuadalupe
area in late July.

The acreage of fall potatoes for harvest this year is estimated at
1,008,500 acres, 8 percent more than 1964 but 3 percent less than the re-
cord 1961 acreage. The greatest increase from 1964 is in the nine western
fall States where the 428,800 acres for harvest are 16 percent more than
1964 and 12 percent more than the five-year average. All States in the
area have more acreage than last year. Jdeho, the leading State with 280,000
acres, has a 17 percent increase. Increases in other major western
potato States range from 7 percent for California to 41 percent for Wash-
ington. Growth end condition of potatoes in late June was generally good
except for some late June frost damage in the San Luis Valley of Colorado.
Plenting in most western States was complete by normal dates and subsequent
weather has been favorable for growth. Irrigation water supplies are plenti-
ful. In the nine central States, the acreage for fall harvest at 308,600
acres, is 6 percent above 1964 but 3 percent less than average. Michigan
has an increase in acreage of 19 percent, the greatest for the central area.
Minnesota has 68 pereent more acreago for harvest than

SOUR CHERRIES: The July 1 forecast of production for sour cherries at

182,900 tons is down one-third from last year but is still
second only to that record crop and 35 percent above average. All States
except Idaho expect lower production than last year. Michigan continues
to lead in production and expected to total 120,000 tons or about two-
thirds of the Nation's production this year.

In the five Great Lakes States, a crop of 175,600 tons is forecast
for 1965. Three of these States -- excepting Wisconsin and Ohio -- pro-
duced record crops in 1964, Michigan's crop is progressing normally,
but will need July rains for proper sizing. New York's crop is making
satisfactory progress. Shortage of moisture reduced size of early
varieties but late varieties are expected to size if rain is received.
Light harvest was underway in the Hudson Valley at the end of June, In
Pennsylvania's Aéms and Franklin Counties, trees set a heavy crop of fruit
‘but in Erie and eastern counties the crop was lighter, Limited harvest
was underway late in June with volume supplies expected after July 4.

In Wisconsin, rainy, cold weather during pollination caused a light set
of fruit. Hail and wind on June 20 caused severe damage in many orchards.

In the Western States production is expected to total 7,300 tons,
one-third less than last year and 30 percent below average. Idaho's crop
has good size and color and active harvest was expected to continue
through July 17. In Colorado, hail damage and June droppage reduced
prospects below last month's estimate, Unseasonably cool, wet weather
delayed harvest. In northern Utah production was expected to be light
but fair crops were expected in the central part of the State, Wash-~
ington's crop was sizing well and excellent quality is in prospect,
Harvest was expected to start July 15-20 in the western part of the State.
Oregon's light crop made normal progress with harvest expected to start
early in July.

HOPS: Production of hops is forecast at 54.4 million pounds, up 2 per-

cent from last year and 18 percent above average. Both acreage
for harvest at 32,900 acres and prospective yield at 1,653 pounds per
acre are up slightly from last year.

Washington's crop has made good vine growth, but arm develorment,
particularly at the top, has been slow and the vines have a peaked
appearance, Cool weather during May in Idaho showed vine growth on
Early Clusters and they bloomed before sufficient vine growth was at-
tained, Late Clusters are in good condition and are expected to have
above average yields. Growers have been able to check mildew since
weather has not been conducive for its development. Growing conditions
have been favorable for hops in Oregon and the crop looks good. Fuggles
have not developed as well as other varieties, California's growing
season has been cool and windy, and with vine growth behind normal,
harvest is not expected to start until mid-August.

POTATOES: Production of late summer potatoes in 1965 is forecast
at 30,850,000 hundredweight, 12 percent more than
1964 but 8 percent less than the 1959-63 average. Acreage is 6
percent larger than 1964 and expected average yield per acre is
6 percent higher, Most of the indicated increase from 1964 is in

Crop Progress Slower than Normal

Development of major crops was quite variable, and progress to July 1
was moderately behind normal. The 1965 spring planting season closely
resembled the 1964 pattern. Cool and wet weather until late April kept
many farmers from land preparation and early seeding work but planting
advanced rapidly in May and progress was near normal in most areas by
the end of the month. Frosts in late May extended as far South as
northern Tllinois and Iowa and some acreages of corn and soybeans were
replanted. Some row crop acreage including cotton and sorghum also was
replanted because of heavy rains during June, especially in the Central
and Southern Plains areas.

Rains slowed harvest of small grains during June. Combining wheat
in Texas neared the 90 percent mark by the end of June. It had been about
complete a year ago. In Kansas, three-fifths of the crop was combined
with usual progress at about the three-quarter point. Although showers
and wet fields delayed harvest, small grain heads filled well in late May
and through June. Damp weather has also favored development of rust
which poses problems in later developing areas from Kansas northward.

Average temperatures continued to be generally lower than usual
during June over most of the Nation. Crop development has been slower
than normal, but most areas have good!moisture supplies. Seasonal summer
temperatures should bring a rapid response in crop growth.

Most areas of the Nation have received good rains since late May ex-
cept from Ohio eastward through the North Atlantic Region where dry soils
lowered prospects for spring grains, early cuttings of hay, and pasture
growth. Showers have supplied sufficient moisture to keep corn and other
late season crops growing, but continued summer rainfall will be needed.
Soil moisture reserves are low or non-existent especially in North
Atlantic Coastal areas which face the possibility of the fourth consec-
utive drought year.

Food Grain Output Up 4 Percent

Production of food grains is 4 percent more than last year. Pros-
pects for winter wheat, the dominant food grain, improved during June and
1965 production is 4 percent larger than last year. All spring wheat
production is expected to be 7 percent larger as a smaller durum wheat
erop was more than offset by an increase in other spring wheat.

The 1965 rice crop is second only to the record high of last year.
Rye production is about average, but 7 percent less than last year.

Feed Grain Production Up 8 Percent

Total tonnage of all feed grains is expected to be larger than
last year as improved yield prospects more than offset a
decline in acreage. Production of the three feed grains estimated


CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

The U. S, yield of 1,332 pounds per acre compares with a 1,221 pound
yield in 1964 and is about equal to the average. Estimated yields are
above average in seven States and below average in five States, The 1965
crop is expected to be harvested from 1.56 million acres compared with
1.46 million acres in 1964 and the average of 1.44 million acres,

In New York and Michigan planting weather was favorable and beans have
made a good start, however, dry soils in the important Thumb area of
Michigan have slowed germination of late planted beans, Bean planting
was done on schedule in Montana and Washington. Wet weather delayed
planting in Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, North Dakota, Minnesota, and parts
of Colorado. Favorable growing weather since planting and an abundance
of irrigation water give promise of near normal yields, Floods and hail
damaged some fields on the Eastern Slope of Colorado during the first half
of June; some replanting was necessary.

In California, most varieties other than pinks and red kidney had
been planted by July 1. Large lima beans in southern California are in
good condition, Warmer weather would benefit the crop in other parts
of the State. Baby limas are doing well in the Westside district of the San
Joaquin Valley but growth has been slower avound Sacramento. Generally all
varieties of beans in northern California area would benefit from warmer
weather,

DRY PEAS: A production of 3.75 million bags (100 pounds clean basis) is

forecast for the 1965 dry pea crop. This production, if real~-
ized, would be 21 percent smaller than the 1964 crop and 13 percent below
average,

This year's prospective yield for the U. S. is 1,652 pounds per acre,
The acreage for harvest is estimated at 227,000 acres, While acreage for
harvest is 26 percent below last year, the promise of higher yields tem-
pered the drop in prospective production.

Planting was delayed in the Pacific Northwest as well as the Red
River areas of North Dakota and Minnesota. Favorable moisture and tempera-
tures in the Northwest following planting brought fields to good stands and
by mid-June peas were in full bloom in the Palouse area of Washington and
Idaho. Irrigation water is plentiful in the south Idaho production area and
the absence of high temperature has favored the crop.

TOBACCO; At about 2 billion pounds, the season's first forecast is for an

all tobacco crop 10 percent smaller than lest year and 4 percent
below the 1959-63 average, Acres for harvest this year are estimated at
983,500 -- 9 percent fewer than in 1964 and the lowest since 1897. De-
creases from last year in acreage are expected in all major classes except
cigar tobaccos, Excepting Pennsylvania Seedleaf and cigar wrapper, all
principal types are under quotas. Basic acreage allotments were cut 5 per-
cent from 1964 for flue-cured; 10 percent for burley, Kentucky and
Tennessee fire-cured and dark air-cured types, and 15 percent for type 32.
Other allotments were unchanged. The expected average yield per acre this
season for all types combined is 2,035 pounds, down about 31 pounds from last
year's record high.

Plant supplies were adequate in all areas this season except for some
local shortages, primarily in Wisconsin, Other than dry soils in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, and Wisconsin, transplanting was done under generally

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

PLUMS AND PRUNES: Plum production in California and Michigan is forecast

at a record 133,000 tons, up 4 percent from last year and
36 percent above average. Another record crop is expected in California,
but the crop is down sharply in Michigan. In California, harvest of
Beauty and Burnosa plums was complete and picking of the Santa Rosa variety
well advanced. Good weather prevailed during most of June. Prospects are
down in Michigan after last year's heavy crop, although most young orchards
have a good set.

The prune crop in Idaho, Washington, and Oregon is forecast at 57,000
tons (fresh basis), 20 percent less than last year and 8 percent below
average. Most of the decrease occurred in Washington, where winter and
spring freezes weakened buds and damaged blossoms. Prospects are down
slightly from last year in Idaho but up a bit in Oregon. Prospects are for
a better crop than last year in the \jillemette Valley of Oregon but winter
and spring frosts reduced prospects in the Milton-Freewater area and Douglas
County.

California prune production is estimated at 185,000 tons (dried basis),
up 3 percent from last year and a third above average. Most prune orchards
bloomed well, tut in later areas damp, cold weather restricted bloom and
set. Weather has been cool and size growth has been generally satisfactory.

APRICOTS: Apricots production in California, Washington, and Utah is esti-
mated at 231,C10 tons, 3 percent larger than last year's
production and 12 percent above average. The California crop is estimated
at 230,000 tons, up 22,000 tons from last year and more than 37,000 tons
above average. Harvest for fresh market is about complete except for in-
trastate use. Picking for canning was expected to reach a peak the second
week of July. ‘There was some drying in the early areas. Because of freezes
there are no apricots in the Upper Yakina Valley of Washington and a very
light crop in the Lower Valley. Harvest is expected to be over by July 20.
In the Wenatchee area a short crop will be harvested, mostly for local sale.
Production in Utah was also cut sharply because of spring freezes.

NECTARINES: The California nectarine crop is now forecast at 75,000 tons,

the same as last year's record crop and 53 percent above aver-
age. Cool weather during June was favorable for nectarines. The crop is a
little earlier than last season and shipments to date are somewhat higher.
Quality of the fruit is good except for some damaged by Hail in Fresno
County.

AVOCADOS: Production of the 1964-65 crop of spring and summer varieties
of avocados in California is estimated at 11,000 tons, unchanged
from last month. Harvest of this crop is presently in a selective pick-
ing stege to give maximum sizing. Harvest of the fall and winter crop was
virtually completed in June. The total California crop of 23,000 tons
(both seasonal groups) is less than half as large as the 1963-64 crop.

SOYBEANS: Soybeans planted alone for all purposes in 1965 are estimated

at 35.6 million acres, 12 percent more than the previous re-
cord acreage of 32.7 million acres in 1964 and 33 percent more than the
average of 26.7 million acres. Growers are expected to harvest 34.7 mil-
lion acres for beans, up 13 percent from a year earlier and 34 percent
above average. ~ :

Planted acreage increased in nearly all States. Exceptions were
in a few North Atlantic and South Atlantic States. By regions, planted
acreage in the min producing North Central States is up 12 percent.
The South Atlantic and South Central regions are up 11 and 16 percent,
respectively.

Among the leading soybean States, Iowa, Missouri, and Minnesota
show the sharpest expansions over a year earlier with increases of 15,
13, and 12 percent, respectively. Planted acreage in Illinois, the
leading soybean State, is up 3 percent. Acreage in several of the
South Atlantic and South Central States show sharp increases over a year
earlier.

The soybean crop is in good condition in the North Central Region.
Wet weather delayed planting in most States. In Illinois and Indiana
planting started late but was completed at about the usual dates. In
Iowa and Minnesota planting was considerably later than usual. Planting
conditions were favorable in Michigan and Ohio and seeding progressed at
about usual rates. Moisture supplies are adequate in most areas of the
region including Nebraska, Kanses, and the Dakotas. Warmer weather
would be beneficial in some of the Northern States.

May planting of soybeans following small grains was delayed in some
South Atlantic States, particularly Georgia and Alabama. In the Carolin-
as and Virginia planting was completed slightly ahead of last year.
Condition and stand are good in most areas of this region. In South
Carolina rainfall during the first half of June produced a good stand
but also caused cultivation problems,

In the South Central Region planting of the 1965 soybean crop
ranged from about usual dates in Kentucky and Tennessee to somewhat
later than usual in Mississippi and Arkansas. Some replating of the
crop was necessary in Arkansas because of heavy rains. Condition and
stand in most areas of the South Central Region are good and cultivation
is now in progress.

SOYBEAN STOCKS ON FARMS: Soybeans stored on farms July 1, 1965 totaled

22.8 million bushels or about a third of the
record high level of a year earlier, Farm stocks this year were about
two-thirds of average for July 1, the lowest since 1961. The indicated
disappearance of 75 million bushels from farms during the 1965 April-
June quarter compared with 118.7 million a year earlier, and the aver-
age of 94.7 willion bushels.

Stocks were well below a year earlier in each of the main producing
regions. The North Central States account for 92 percent of the Nation's
total farm holdings. Towa with 9.4 million bushels had the largest
farm stocks on July 1 and Illinois, with 3.6 million bushels, was second.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

The indicated yield is a record high of 20.9 bushels per acre, 0.4 bushels
above the previous high in 1962. Yields are above average in all regions. Re-
cord yields are forecast for New York, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, end Montana.

The acreage seeded to rye last fall and this spring totaled 4.4 million
acres, 6 percent less than a year earlier, but 1 percent above average. ‘The
North Central region, which accounts for 52 percent of the acreage planted to
rye, declined 8 percent from the previous year. Kansas accounted for much of the
decline, with their seeded acreage less than two-thirds of a year earlier.

The acreage of rye for harvest as grain is estimated at 1.5 million acres,
down 14 percent from 1964 and 10 percent below average. Only 34 percent of the
seeded acreage is expected to be harvested for grain compared to 37 percent a
year ago. All regions show a decline, in acres for grain. North Dakota, with
32 percent of the acreage for harvest as grain, continues as the leading rye
State.

RYE STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of old crop rye on farms July 1 totaled 2,708,000

bushels, 59 percent more than a year earlier, but 8 percent
less than average. All regions, except the North Atlantic, showed larger hold-
ings than a year earlier. Most of the increase was in North Dakota, which ac-
counted for 50 percent of the U.S. total stocks. Disappearance of rye from
farms during the April-June quarter totaled 6,695,000 bushels, the largest April-
June disappearance since 1956. The 5-year average disappearance is 3,823,000
bushels.

FLAXSEED: Production of flaxseed is expected to be 26.9 million bushels, 10 per-

cent more than last year but 2 percent less than average. Increased
prospects result fron a 14 percent increase in prospective yield more than off-
setting a 3 percent decrease in acreage for harvest. Growers now plan to har-
vest 2.7 million acres compared with 2.8 million acres in 1964. ‘The prospective
yield per acre is 9.8 bushels compared with 8.6 bushels last year and the aver-
age of 9.3 bushels per acre.

In the major flaxseed producing area planting was practically finished on
July 1. Seeding was spread over a long period due to wet soil in northern
areas. Development is erratic. In general the crop is late but no later than

in some other recent years. Prospects are good because of adequate soil mois-
ture in the major flax area.

The 3leading States, the Dakota's and Minnesota, are expected to produce 9h
percent of the Nation's crop. In Northeastern North Dakota some of the crop is
yellowing because of excessive soil moisture. Only 4 percent of the North
Dakota crop was in bloom on July 1, compared with 9 percent in 1964 and 20 per-
cent in 1963. Minnesota flaxseed had 6 percent in bloom compared with 15 per-
cent on July 1 last year. Seeding was finished in the south by mid-June but
was delayed to the end of the month in the north. South Dakota because of a
plentiful moisture supply, has good stands, although weeds pose a problen.

In the early-planted States, the crop has done well. Harvest is underway

in the Imperial Valley in California where growers report record yields. In
Texas abandonment was only 4 percent and yield was above average.

mid-season varieties was underway. Soil moisture was adequate and size
and quality, above average. Weather conditions in Oklahoma have been
favorable for peaches. Trees were loaded with fruit. Picking of early
varieties was underway in Texas.

In Virginia, trees had a good set of peaches but moisture was short
in the important Frederick and Shenandoah counties and sizing of early
varieties may be reduced. Conditions in other areas were generally favor-
able. Prospects for late varieties are good. Picking of early peaches
was expected to start about July 7 in the southern Piedmont. In
Pennsylvania, peaches were sizing well although moisture was becoming
critical. Harvest of early varieties was expected to start about July 10.
In New Jersey a mid-July starting date isaxpected for early varieties. June
showers were beneficial for non-irrigated orchards.

In Michigan fruit development has been good to date, but more mois~
ture is needed. Thinning continued in many orchards. In Indiana,
picking started in late June in the southern part of the State, Fruit
was of good size but additional moisture will be needed to continue
development. Ohio's orchards will furnish production starting about mid-
July in southern areas and the last week of the month in other areas.
Locusts caused considerable damage in southeastern Ohio.

Idaho's crop was making satisfactory progress. Trees had a good set
and fruit size was above normal. In Colorado, the cool, wet June weather
slowed development of peaches but did not cause any loss or damage to
fruit. Thinning was nearly complete in the major commercial areas.
Winter and spring freezes have resulted in a near failure in Washington.
Oregon's crop was raking good progress with most of this year's production
coming from the Willamette Valley and Jackson County.

PEARS: The July 1 pear production estimate of nearly 18.7 million bushels,

up slightly from last month, is 38 percent less than last year and
29 percent below average. Production in the Pacific Coast States, which
normally produce about 88 percent of the U.S. total, is forecast at
16,111,000 bushels (394,600 tons). This is 39 percent less than last
year's crop and 30 percent below average. Bartlett production in these
States is estimated at 10,684,000 bushels (260,000 tons) -- about half the
1964 production. Estimated production of "other than Bartlett" pears in
these States is 5,427,000 bushels (134,600 tons) ~- 2 percent above the
previous year and 1 percent above average. Oregon is the only Pacific
State with prospects for a larger "other pear" production than last year.
Expected production in States other than the Pacific Coast is 26 percent
below 1964.

The California Bartlett crop is forecast at 7,084,000 bushels
(170,000 tons), less than half last year's crop, but 6 percent above the
1963 production. Harvest of early Bartletts will start about mid-July,
somewhat later than usual in order to get maximum sizing. Other type pears
are forecast at slightly above 1 million bushels (25,000 tons), 19 percent
less than last year.

The Washington Bartlett crop, at 1.4 million bushels, is 62 percent
less than last year and 53 percent below average. Weather during June

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

The 1965 early spring crop amounted to 4,902,000 huncredweight, 18
percent more than pee Production of winter crop potatoes was 3, 518,000
hundredweight, 5 percent less than a year earlier,

SWEETPOTATOES: Production of sweetpotatoes in 1965 is forecast at 16, 444,000
hundredweight, 8 percent more than 1964 but 3 percent less
than average. The indicated increase from 1964 is the result of a 6
percent increase in acreage and a slightly larger average yield per acre.
All States except Kansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Texas had
favorable conditions and expect larger crops than in 1964, Most New
Jersey acreage was planted by mid-May although there was some acreage
planted in June. Irrigation has been active and growth and stands are
quite good, On the Eastern Shore of Maryland and Virginia dry, cool
weather in May slowed early growth but the crop has made excellent prog-~
ress following good rains in June, Ample rainfall in North Carolina
during June provided favorable conditions for transplanting and growth.
In South Carolina, rainfall during June caused some delay in planting
but resulted in generally good stands and gave the crop a good start.
Growing conditions in Georgia have been favorable. Dry weather during
Mey in Alabama and Louisiana retarded growth on early plantings and .
delayed completion of planting, June rains improved prospects in both
States, Harvest of early planted fields in Louisiana was just getting
underway by July 1, Kentucky had some dry weather which limited prospects
as of July 1. Growing conditions have been favorable in Tennessee and
Arkansas and sweetpotatoes have made a good start. Soil moisture in
Texas is adequate and plants have made good growth. Some New Mexico
acreage was hail damaged which necessitated replenting but the crop is
now in good condition, Cool weather in Californie following planting
provided conditions for even stands although it retarded early growth.
Relatively cool weather in June delayed maturity but was beneficial for
plant development. First supplies are expected from Riverside and San
Bernardino Counties about mid-July and from southern San Joaquin Valley
in late July.

PASTURES: Pasture feed conditions were better than usual in most areas
of the country on July 1. An important exception was a dry
area extending from Ohio, east and northeastward through New England.
Reported pasture condition in the United States averaged 84 percent of
normal for July 1, 6 points higher than a year earlier, Ample rain-
fall in the Plains States and the Southeast aided rapid pasture growth
during June, while pastures in the Northeast dried up, Relatively cool
temperatures during June helped pastures survive in the dry areas,
but growth was very short.

In most of the Northeast, the 1965 pasture season through June
continued the dry period that began about 3 years ago. Reported pasture
condition declined during June in all North Atlantic States. It was
12 to2h points below the July 1, 1959-63 average for the date in each
State. In New Jersey, pasture condition was reported at 47 percent of
normal on July 1, the seme percentsge as in 1957. Heavy supplemental
feeding of green-chop, silage and hay was necessary in many Northeastern
areas.

The dry area in the Northeast expanded into the South Atlantic
through northern Virginia during June. However, July 1 pasture condition
was reported above a year earlier except in West Virginia. A week of rainy
weather around mid-June soaked the rest of the South Atlantic States, pro-
viding ample soil moisture for good growth in the last half of June.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

OLIVES: The July 1 condition of California olives was 63 percent of normal,
5 points less than a year earlier. Set of Manzanillos in the San

Joaquin Valley is spotty and generally very light. Sevillano and Ascolano

varieties have set relatively better crops than the Manzanillos. Olive

production was 58,000 tons in 1964; 57,000 tons in 1963, and the average

is 49,200 tons.

FIGS: Weather conditions have been favorable for growth and development of

California figs. Trees are in good condition and there is a heavy
set of regular crop fruit. Caprification of Calimyrnas is completed. Soil
moisture conditions are good as there was plenty of ditch water for early
irrigation. Warmer weather now and during the next few months would be
helpful to this crop.

ALMONDS: The 1965 almond crop is forecast at 76,000 tons in-shell, an in-

crease of 3 percent from last month's forecast. This is 4 per-
cent more than last year and 23 percent above average. Cool weather during
dune was favorable for nut sizing. There has been no appreciable damage
from insects and diseases. June drop was normal except for some lesser
varieties which had a heavy drop.

FILBERTS: The filbert crop in Oregon and Washington is forecast at 7,200

tons, 10 percent less than last year and 21 percent below aver-
age. The Oregon crop was reduced by poor pollination and spring frosts
following a severely cold winter. The crop in Washington experienced some
bad weather during bloom along with spring frosts.

WALNUTS : The 1965 walnut crop in California and Oregon is estimated at

85,400 tons, down 5 percent from last year but 17 percent above
average. Prospects are poor in all producing areas of Oregon with the nut
set sharply below last year. Growing conditions have been good in Cali-
fornia although some blight has occurred in minor locations.

CITRUS: The 1964-65 orange crop is expected to total 121 million boxes, 31

percent larger than last year but 1 percent below the 1958-62 aver-
age. As of July 1 only 9 percent of the crop remained for harvest--almost
all California Valencies. Production of grapefruit is estimated at 40.7
million boxes, 19 percent greater than last season but 1 percent below aver-
age. As of July 1 approximately 95 percent of the grapefruit had been
harvested.

The lemon forecast remains unchanged from last month at 14.6 million
boxes, 23 perc ‘percent less than last year and 8 percent below average. About
5.9 million boxes of lemons remained for harvest after July 1, compared

ae 4,2 million remaining last year.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT; A 1965 crop of 223 million bushels is forecast for
spring wheat other than durum, 12 percent more than
last year and 21 percent above average.

Production prospects for the 1965 spring wheat crop are uniformly
good in all States. The crop developed well, with nearly ideal moisture
and temperatures, after some delay in planting because of wet soils.

Spring wheat in North Dakota, although late, made excellent growth
with ideal moisture and weather. The Minnesota crop is late but devel-
cping well with good moisture supplies. In Montana about fifteen per-
cent of the crop was heading, somewhat less than a year ago. Wet soils
delayed planting although development has been very good. Precipitation
has been adequate and timely. The Idaho crop also was planted later than
usual but is developing well under favorable moisture and temperatures.

Acreage of spring wheat other than durum for grain harvest in 1965
is estimated at 9.7 million compared with 9.1 million acres in 1964 and
the average of 9.4 million acres.

DURUM WHEAT: Production of durum wheat for 1965 is estimated at 60 million

bushels, 8 percent below 196k but 54 percent above average.
Production prospects for durum wheat in 1965 are good to excellent through-
out the major producing areas of the Dakota's and Montana. The North
Dakota and Minnesota crops were planted later than usual because of wet
soils. Growth has been rapid with favorable growing conditions.

The 1965 crop will be harvested from an estimated 2.2 million acres,
6 percent less than 1964 but 27 percent above average. All of the durum
wheat producing States expect to harvest fewer acres than in 1964. The
yield per harvested acre is expected to be 27.3 bushels, compared with
28.0 bushels in 1964 and the average of 21.4 bushels.

WHEAT STOCKS ON FARMS: July 1 carry-over stocks of old crop wheat

totaled 133 million bushels -- an increase of
76 percent from a year earlier and nearly a fourth above average. Farm
holdings on July 1 were 10.3 percent of 1964 production. Stocks on
farms in the Dakota's, Nebraska, Kansas, Montana, and Colorado accounted
for 84 percent of the Nation's total.

Disappearance from farms during the April-June quarter totaled
131 million bushels, about two-thirds more than for the same period
in 1964 and 8 percent above average.

Durum stocks on farms were 19.0 million bushels, more than 10

times the small July 1, 1964 farm holdings, and 7 percent above the
amount stored on farms July 1, 1963.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1965 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

BARIEY: Production of barley in 1965 is expected to total 364 million bushels,

down 10 percent from last year and 13 percent below the average.
Except for the North Atlantic, smaller production is indicated for all regions
mostly because of smaller acreages than Jast year. The estimated yield per
acre, record high at 38.3 bushels, surpasses the previous record, 37.8 bushels
realized lest year. Estimated yields in most States are at near record or
record levels.

By July 1, combining of the fall sown crop neared completion throughout
the South Atlantic and South Central States and had begun or was about to in
most other States. Planting of the spring crop inmost States was delayed due
to wet fields, but drying conditions later permitteu rapid progress. Adequate
soil moisture and favorable weather after seeding resulted in generally good
stands and continued good development of the spring planted crop. In the
North, conbining was proceeding rapidly in southern and central Pennsylvania.
Harvest was about one-fourth through in Ohio and Indiana and nearing comple-
tion in central Kansas. In Minnesota, North Lakota, and South Dakota, develop-
ment of the spring planted crop was well behind a year ago. In most of the
West, the crop is now in good condition following some winter damage and a
cold wet early spring. Some flooding, erosion and localized winterkill
occurred in Idaho, while unusually cold, dry winds caused damage in Oregon and
Washington. In Colorado, some of the abandoned fall sown wheat and barley has
been replanted to spring barley and the crop is malting good progress. Irriga-
tion water is now adequate in both Idaho and Colorado. In Montana, fields are
about two weeks later than last year because of the late planting. In Califor
nia, harvest was through or nearing completion in all but the coastal region,

The 10.8 million acres seeded to barley last fall and this spring is 11
percent less than last year and 30 percent below average. All regions, except
the North Atlantic, show a decrease from last year's planted acreage. Acreage
harvested for grain is estimated at 9.5 million acres or 88 percent of that
pianted, This is 11 percent below lagt year. Both planted and harvested acres
for grain are the smallest acreages of record since 1953.

BARLEY STOCKS: Stocks of old barley on farms July 1 totaled 40.8 million
bushels, a third less than a year earlier and the average.

Farm stocks were down sharply from a year earlier in the North Central and
Western regions but higher in other regions. Two-fifths of the total farm
holdings were located in North Dakota. Disappearance during the April-June
quarter totaled 66.4 million bushels, 6 percent less than a year earlier and
about average. Holdings on July 1 were 10 percent of production compared with
15 percent on July 1 a year ago.

RYE: The 1965 rye crop is forecast at 31.0 million bushels, down 7 percent

from a year earlier but 1 percent above average. Rye production is
expected to be below last year in all regions except the North Atlantic.
North Dakota's. produstian accounts for more than a third of the lation's rye.
It is forecast 4 percent above last year.
