DRIED PRUNES: California production forecast 135 thousand tons (122 thousand
metric tons), 7 percent higher than last year, 15 percent

below 1981 crop. Fruit size projected smaller this year but higher fruit set

combined with small increase in bearing acreage account for increase in total

production. Prune trees did not suffer serious damage from excessive

winter-spring rains and standing water but fruit quality may be lower than

PLUMS: California production forecast 180 thousand tons (163 thousand metric
tons), 52 percent more than 1982, 9 percent below 198] record high
production. Good pollination occurred despite record rainfall San Joaquin
Valley during bloom. Crop development 4-5 days ahead of last year, Harvest
of early varieties underway.

ALMONDS: California forecast -- 260 million pounds (118 thousand metric tons)

shelled basis, down 7 percent from May 1 forecast, 25 percent less
than Yast year. Damage to trees from excessive moisture, especially in
Sacramento Valley, becoming more apparent. Several thousand acres of trees
killed in Northern counties by root suffocation and moisture related
diseases. Shothole fungus or brown rot evident al? growing areas. Yields to
be lowest in late blooming varieties which were adversely affected by weather
during peak bloom.

SWEET CHERRIES: Production in six Western States forecast 128 thousand tons
(116 thousand metric tons), 6 percent more than last year,
virtually same as 1981.

California forecast 11.0 thousand tons, 4 percent below year ago. Fresh
harvest about over.

Oregon forecast 41.0 thousand tons, 17 percent more than 1982. Prospects
good throughout State. Picking expected to begin early June in
Milton-Freewater area.

Washington's crop 67.0 thousand tons, 2 percent above last year. Fruit
quality very good. Harvest to begin mid-June.

TART CHERRIES: Production in Colorado, Oregon, and Utah forecast 23.9 million

pounds (10.8 thousand metric tons), 66 percent more than 1982,
16 percent above 1981. Growers in Colorado and Utah concerned about
pollination. Cool weather restricted bee activity. Scattered frosts also hit
Colorado. Prospects very good in Oregon.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: June 3 pasture and range feed condition 85 percent

— compared with 87 percent tast year, 82 percent
average. Conditions more favorable than last year in 32 States, less in 13,
and equal in 3 States. Most areas had ample moisture during May except
portions of northern and southern plains, and southeast which were abnormally
dry. Cool temperatures in June continued to slow vegetative growth.

POTATOES: Spring 1983 production, 17.5 million cwt (793 thousand metric tons),
15 percent below last year, 16 percent smaller than 1981. Present
forecast above May 1, but still second smallest crop of record. Area for
harvest estimated at 75.4 thousand acres (30.5 thousand hectares), 3 percent
below past two years. Average yield, 232 cwt per acre, up 4 cwt from May 1,
32 cwt under last year. Compared with month ago, better yield prospects in
Arizona, California, Texas more than offset declines in Florida, Louisiana.

California production 8.09 million cwt, 5 percent more than May 1, but 15
percent less than last year. Harvest full swing Kern district. Yields better
than anticipated prior to harvest, but quality of potatoes showing adverse
effects of heavy spring rains. Arizona forecast, 1.42 million cwt, 7 percent
above May 1, within’! percent of last year.

Production prospects "Hastings area” of Florida fell nearly 5 percent from
May 1 to 4.20 million cwt. Harvest continues active, peaking later than last
year. Yields well below 1982. Digging to continue through most of June.
Harvest complete in other areas of State except Panhandle. Yield for “other
areas" 10 cwt below May 1 expectations. North Carolina production 1.93
million cwt, 12 percent below last year.

RELIABILITY OF JUNE 1 WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST

The winter wheat production forecast in this report is based on mail and
objective yield surveys conducted just prior to June 1. Acreage for harvest
is based on information provided by both surveys. The yield estimate is based
on counts and measurements from a probability sample of wheat fields and on
mail reports from farmers an the condition and probable yield of the crop.
Both surveys are subject to sampling and non-sampling errors common to all
surveys. This production forecast is also subject to change due to growing
conditions that may affect the crop after June 1.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the June 1 winter wheat
production forecast, the “Root Mean Square Error“, a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviation
between the June 1 production forecast and the final estimate as a percentage
of the final estimate, and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the
1963-1982 twenty-year period; the square root of the average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error". Probability statements can be
made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's
forecast are not different from those influencing recent years.

The “Root Mean Square Error" for the June 1 winter wheat production
forecast is 5.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast of 1.88 billion bushels will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 5.9 percent or approximately 111 million
bushels. Chances are 9.out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 10.2 percent or approximately 192 million bushels.
Oifferences between the June 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 89.1 million bushels, ranging
from 15 million to 174 million bushels. The June 1 forecast has been below
the final estimate 6 times and above 4 times.

WINTER WHEAT: Production forecast at 1.88 billion bushels (51.2 million metric

tons), down }) percent from 1982 record high. Area for harvest
down 19 percent from 1982 but partially offset by higher yield. Yield
expected at record high 40.1 bushels, up 4.0 bushels from last year. Record
high yields expected in Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Michigan, Ohio,
South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin, Eight other States tied previous
record yields.

Condition generally fair to good across Nation. Good to excellent
conditions reported Kansas and Texas; development generally one week behind
normal across Great Plains. Generally good to excellent conditions Pacific
Northwest; moisture shortages developing parts of Oregon and Washington.
Development in Nerthwest behing norma) except Washington where dévelopment
well ahead of normal. In 15 major producing States, 75 percent of wheat
acreage headed by June 5, 7 points behind average.

MAY WEATHER SUMMARY

Heavy downpours of rain from eastern Texas to the central Ohio Valley
first and third week of the month, Large areas of farmlands were flooded in
the upper Mississippi Delta and the Tennessee and Ohio Valley during the first
week, Flood damage compounded third week, when local rainfall was in excess
of 1G inches. Most of the Nation had adequate to surplus soil moisture at end
of the month, but some areas northern and southern Plains and in Southeast were
getting a little dry. Most of Nation averaged cooler than normal for the
month. Central and northern Plains and most of Corn Belt averaged over 4
degrees below normal. May temperature averaged 4 to 6 degrees cooler than
normal over the central Ptateau and central Rockies but entire West much warmer
than normal during last week of the month. Heavy snowpack in the mountains
began melting rapidly, flooding streams and causing mudslides. Floodwaters
Spread over large areas of land. Another cool airmass spread over the West
end of month, showing the melt, but scattered showers kept floodwaters flowing.
(Prepared by NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)

MAY ELELOWORK

Persistent rainfall delayed fieldwork eastern half of Nation during May.
Planting fell behind schedule due to wet fields. Rowever, rapid progress made
during brief dry periods. Torrential rains caused widespread flooding,
destroying some crops and eroding fields Delta States northward into Kentucky.
Heavy snow mid-month replenished soil moisture northwestern Plains. Cold, wet
rains extending into northern High Plains stressed livestock. Dry conditions
across western regions, with most field activities on schedule. Cool, May
weather slowed germination and crop development most regions.

At beginning of May, corn planting 9% complete, 9 points less than average.
By end of month, planting 80% finished, 6 points less than average. Progress
40 points behind normal in Kentucky and 24 points behind in Michigan. Georgia
and North Carolina corn plantings nearly comptete end of the month. Fields in
the South began silking.

Soybean planting major States 33% complete end of May, lagging average of
50%. Planting behind all States. Progress 40 points behind average in
Michigan, 35 in Louisiana and 31 points in Tennessee. However, emerged plants
fair to good condition.

At end of May sorghum planting 45% finished 7 major States, behind average
Progress of 55%. Rainy weather delayed planting; progress 25 points behind
average in Nebraska, 17 in Missouri and 15 points behind in both Kansas and.
South Dakota.

In the 14 major cotton States, 69% of acreage planted as May ended. A year
earlier 75% planted. Planting in Texas 54% completed. Planting’ complete in
California and Arizona. In southern areas, early-planted fields began
squaring.

Cool weather slowed winter wheat development, however, stands fair to
mostly good condition as May ended. Moisture greatly benefited the crop but
weed and disease problems increased. In major States, 57% of acreage headed
by end of May. Stands turning colar across South, Harvest gaining momentum
extreme southern areas.

Spring wheat seeding off to early start, advanced rapidly. Seeding in
major producing States reached 96% completion as May ended, 7 points ahead
average. Crop had emerged on 75% of the acreage. Ample moisture most areas
should promote good crop growth.

Rice seeding 75% finished end of May, 18 points behind normal. Texas
producers finished, California growers had 35% seeded, 57 points behind normal.

Peanut planting near completion Southeast end of month, early planted

fields blooming. Tobacco transplanting full swing except Kentucky and
Tennessee, where wet fields delayed activities.
