CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1983 B-30 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


DURUM WHEAT: Growers intend to plant 2.83 million acres (1.14 million hec-
—~———"_ tares) of durum wheat in 1983. If these intentions are realized,
area seeded to durum wheat will be 35 percent less than last year's 4.35
million acres (1.76 million hectares), and the smallest since 1972 when 2.59
million acres (1.05 million hectares) were planted. North Dakota's «seeded
acreage, which accounts for 85 percent of the total U.S. prospective acreage,
is down 33 percent from 1982. Area of durum wheat seeded for conservation use
only totals 70 thousand acres (2.83 thousand hectares), in the six producing
States. This is less than 3 percent of the total acreage to be seeded.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: Growers expect to plant 11.6 millfon acres (468 million
~~~" hectares) of other spring wheat in 1983, down 30 percent
from last year, and 32 percent less than the acreage seeded in 1981. Growers
in the four major producing States -- Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and
South Dakota -- indicate decreases of 32, 36, 27, and 33 percent, respectively.
Idaho, Washington, and Oregon indicate decreases of 22, 48, and 5 percent,
respectively. Area seeded for conservation use only in the twelve other
spring wheat producing States is expected to total 91 thousand acres (36.8
thousand hectares), less than 1 percent of the total acreage seeded.

t Growers intend to plant 2.17 million acres (878 thousand hectares) of
rice in 1983, 34 percent less than last year's 3.29 million acres (1.33
millton hectares). Farmers in all States intend to reduce acreage this year
compared with last, ranging from 25 percent in Louisiana to 45 percent in.
California. Arkansas, with the largest acreage, indicates a 31 percent

RIC

reduction. Producers had seeded 33 percent of intended acreage by May 1,

compared with 37 percent Yast year and an average of 53 percent for this
date. Wet conditions caused planting delays this year.

Expected acreage of lon rain rice at 1.58 million acres (639 thousand
hectares), fs 29 percent beTow Tast year. Arkansas, with over one-half of the
total acreage in 1982, expects a 31 percent decline in long grain acreage this
year.

Medium rain rice intentions, at 487 thousand acres (197. thousand
hectares), represent a decrease of 47 percent from 1982. The two leading
States, California and Louisiana expect 54 and 44 percent declines,
respectively.

Short grain rice growers report intended seedings of 105 thousand acres
(42, ousand hectares), a decrease of 26 percent from a year ago.
California, the leading State, expects a 23 percent decline.

SOYBEANS: Growers intend to plant 65.8 million acres (26.6 million hectares)
of soybeans in 1983, down 9 percent from the 1982 acreage of 72.2

million acres (29.2 million hectares). Compared with 1982, 26 States expect

acreage declines, 2 States expect increases, and 1 State remained unchanged.

Prospective soybean acreage in the North Central States is 41.6 million
acres (16.8 million hectares), down 6 percent from 1982. Acreage intentions
are up in North Gakota and South Sakota, unchanged in Minnesota, and down in
al} remaining North Central States.

Declines in prospective acreage are shown in all South Central States.

FLAXSEED: Producers intend to plant 970 thousand acres (393 thousand

hectares) of flaxseed in 1983, up 13 percent from last year.
Prospective acreage is up from last year in all States except South Dakota,
where a 25 percent decrease is shown. Minnesota is showing a 17 percent
increase and North Dakota, a 30 percent increase.

PEANUTS: Plantings are expected to total 1.32 million acres (533 thousand
hectares), 1 percent above 1982. Increases in acreage in Southeast
are expected to more than offset reductions in the Southwest.

northern Piains and Rockies were drier than normal. Although the first of the
month half was dry on the west coast, rains in the latter half brought the
total to well above normal along the coast and on the central Plateau. Above
normal precipitation also fell in the central Rockies and much of the central
Plains. A late season snow fell over the southern and central high Plains
early in the month and then moved through Nebraska to the Great Lakes and the
western part of the Northeast. A cold outbreak in the latter half of the
month pushed freezing temperatures into northern Alabama, central Georgia, and
western South Carolina and seriously damaged fruits and vegetables. Average
temperatures over the Nation were generally cooler than normal in most areas.
It was near normal or slightly warmer along the Northwest border and in New
England.

APRIL FIELDWORK

Widespread heavy showers during April saturated soils across the eastern
half of the Nation, delaying land preparation and planting. Growers in the
Southeast were hardest hit as cool, damp conditions held fieldwork at a
standstill much of the month. All regions had adequate to surplus soil
moisture available for crop development except southern Texas where supplies
were short at month's end. Cooler than normal temperatures covered most
regions much of the month reducing growth and development of all crops.
Freezing temperatures late in the month dipped as far south as central
Georgia, causing widespread damage to blooming fruit trees and tender
vegetables.

Corn planting in the South progressed slowly until late April as wet field
conditions delayed progress. Growers in the Corn Beit started planting the
last week of the month. By May 1, 9% of the acreage had been seeded in the 17
major producing States, half the normal planting pace. Planting was underway
in all States except South Dakota. Progress was behind normal in alt States
except Indiana and Ohio where planting was the same as average.

Sorghum planting advanced northward into Missouri and Oklahoma.
Twenty-nine percent of the crop was planted by May 1, 1 point ahead of normal.

Cotton planting was 24% completed by May 1, well behind the 36% average.
Arizona, with 85% of its acreage planted, was the only State ahead of normal.
In California, planting was 75% finished, 19 points behind normal. Planting
was underway in all States except Oklahoma, where producers normally begin
planting at a later date. Early planted cotton in southern Texas had not begun
squaring at the end of April. A year earlier, 2% was squaring.

Spring wheat seeding reached 28% complete on May 1, 10 points behind
average but 4 points ahead of last year's slow pace. Planting was ahead of
normal in Montana, equal to average in Idaho, but lagged normal elsewhere.

Soybean planting was just beginning at the end of April. Georgia reported
2% of the State acreage seeded.

Rice seeding reached 33% completion in the five major States, 20 points
behind the average. Progress was behind in all areas. California seedings
were 27 points slower than average. Mississippi plantings were 41 points
behind average. Rice had emerged on 17% of the acreage, compared with 26% last
year.

RELIABILITY OF MAY 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 May 1. The mail surveys
provided information on abandonment to date and condition of the crop which
was used to estimate acres for harvest. Yield estimates are based on counts
and measurements in a probability sample of wheat fields and on the condition
of the crop as reported by farmers. 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
lay 1.

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1983 8-3 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Winter wheat in fair to mostly good condition in major producing areas as
warmer temperatures increased growth. However, crop development generally
later than normal. Heading confined to southern regions reaching 8 percent in
fifteen major producing States May 1 compared with average of 17 percent. In
Kansas, stands good to excellent with only slight insect and disease
problems. Ltght frost damage during April not expected to adversely affect
crop since it was in early stages of development. In Oklahoma, 10 percent of
acreage headed May 1. Additional moisture needed to insure good yields.
Winter wheat in Texas 32 percent headed. Harvest in South Texas expected
soon. In High Plains, additional moisture would be beneficial. Wheat in
Montana in generally good condition with additional moisture and warm weather
needed Conditions in Washington and Oregon are very good--ample moisture in
all areas.

ORANGES: ATI oranges forecast at 220 million boxes (8.48 million metric tons)

for 1982-83, fractionally less than April 1 forecast, 24 percent
more than 1981-82 season. Florida crop slightly more than 142 million boxes,
2 percent less than April 1, 13 percent more than last season. Production
early and mid-season oranges in Florida, 70.2 million boxes. Harvest
complete. Florida Valencia forecast 72.0 million boxes, 39 percent greater
than 1981-82. Harvest 44 percent complete. California Navel forecast 40.0
million boxes, 5 percent above April 1, 48 percent more than 1981-82. As of
May 1, 79 percent of California's Navel crop harvested. California’s Valencia
forecast continues at 28.0 million boxes, 75 percent above last season.
Harvest 8 percent complete.

Texas forecast remains 6.20 million boxes, 4 percent above 1981-82.
Arizona crop 3.50 million boxes, up 3 percent from last month, 15 percent more
than last season. Texas harvest 92 percent complete May 1; Arizona harvest 64
percent complete.

Changes in U.S. orange production between May 1 forecast and final
production averaged 5.27 million boxes over past ten seasons, ranging from low
of 1.21 mitlion boxes in 1973-74 to high of 11.6 million boxes in 1976-77
season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1982-83 Florida Frozen Concen-
trated Juice Yield for all oranges
projected at 1.47 gallons per box at 42.0 degree brix equivalent. This
compares will freeze-shortened 1981-82 crop final yield of 1.27832 gallons per
90-pound box at 42.0 degree brix equivatent.

FLORIDA GENERAL CITRUS COMMENTS: Citrus groves excellent condition through
April. Soil moisture adequate to surplus.
Bloom cycle reached peak about first week April, continued until last of
month. This year's bloom one of fullest and longest in recent history due to
abundance of moisture and good tree condition. Excellent new growth in all
areas on trees of all ages. Current Valencia orange harvest increased rapidly
through April. Picking of grapefruit slowed as supplies running low. Harvest
of temples virtually complete by mid-April.

CITRUS HARVEST AND UTILIZATION: By May 1, 144 million boxes of oranges har-~

vested, 65 percent of U.S. crop, compared
with 139 million. boxes or 78 percent on May 1, 1982. Processors had used 74
percent of oranges harvested by May 1, 1983, compared with 75 percent used to
May 1 a year earlier.

Grapefruit harvest 84 percent complete by May I’compared with 89 percent
on same date last year. Processors had used 49 percent of total crop
harvested by May 1, 61 percent a year earlier.

Lemon harvest at first of month, 66 percent complete, compared with 77

percent for same period last season, Processors have utilized 52 percent of

Corn and Sorghum Marketing Years Unchanged in 1983-84: The Statisti-
cal Reporting Service TSR) previously published proposals to change
the marketing years for corn and sorghum from October/September to
September/August, and to change the fall quarter grain stocks survey
from October 1 to September 1 in 1983.

Responses from data users generally supported this proposed
change. However, to make this change, existing legislation specifying
the current marketing year for corn must be amended. Due to the lead
time necessary to obtain this legislation and to prepare for transi-
tion to the new survey date, SRS will postpone the change until
September 1, 1984.

Flue-cured production 1.01 billion pounds (457 thousand metric tons) 14
percent below 1981 crop. Growers harvested 473 thousand acres (192 thousand
hectares), 12 percent below 1981 and the smallest of record. Percentage
changes from 198] in production (by types) are as follows: ‘type 11, 13, and
14--down 27, 14 and 12 percent, respectively; type 12, up 1 percent.

y t

Record high burley production 11 percent above crop of 1981. Production
totaled 810 millTon pounds (367 thousand metric tons) in 1982, 730 million
pounds (331 thousand metric tons) in 1981. Area harvested totaled 340
thousand acres (138 thousand hectares)--largest since 1954--3- percent above
1981, Yield averaged 2379 pounds, with increases from 1981 in all States
except Missourt and Virginia.

Fire-cured production in 1982 rose 42 percent from previous year to 53.3
millTon pounds (24.2 thousand metric tons). All types increased. Yield
averaged 1881 pounds per acre, 355 pounds above 1981, and acres harvested
increased 15 percent.

Southern Maryland Type 32 production, 42.0 million pounds (19.1 thousand
metric tons) in 1982, 9 percent below 1981. Included in all comparisons are
estimates for type 32 grown in Pennsylvania in 1982. Area harvested totaled
29.3 thousand acres (11.9 thousand hectares) compared with 36.2 thousand acres
(14.7 thousand hectares) a year earlier. Average yield reached record high
1433 pounds per acre. .

Output of Dark-air cured totaled 20.6 million pounds (9360 metric tons),
compared with 16.3 million pounds (7410 metric tons) in 1981. Yield per acre
up 20 percent; acres harvested up 5 percent from 198).

All cigar-type production 50.2 million pounds (22.8 thousand metric tons),
down 21 Sercent Fr rom 1981. Cigar-filler, binder, and wrapper production down
16, 21 and 62 percent, respectively.

COTTON 1982 REVISED: United States cotton production totaled 12.0 million

bales in 1982, 23 percent less than in 1981 but 8
percent more than 1980 production. Upland cotton accounted for 11.9 million
bales and American-Pima 98,7 thousand bales. Planted area, at 11.3 million
acres (4.59 million hectares), was down 21 percent from 1981. Harvested area
totaled 9.73 million acres (3.94 million hectares), a 30 percent decline from
1981. Abandonment in 1982 was 14.2 percent of the planted acreage, compared
with 3.4 percent in 1981, and the 5 year (1976-80) average of 6.8 percent.
Much of the abandonment occurred in the high plains of Texas where severe
weather destroyed about 1.5 millfon acres in late May and early June. The
U.S. yield per harvested acre of all cotton was a record high 593 pounds, 50
pounds above 1981 and 46 pounds above the previous record high set in 1979.
Nine States in the Delta and Southeast established new record high yields
resulting mainly from very heavy bollweights. Except for a slow start due to
cool stormy weather in Arizona, Texas and California, growing conditions were
near ideal throughout the belt.

The Bureau of the Census reported 11,526,035 running bales ginned during
the 1982 season compared with 15,150,260 running bates ginned in 1981.
Ginnings in 1982 totaled 11,988,508 equivalent 480-pound net weight bales.

The preliminary 1982 season average price for lint is 58.0 cents per
pound, up 3.7 cents from 1981. Value of lint and seed for the 1982 crop
totaled $3.71 billion, 20 percent below the previous year.

COTTONSEED: The 1982 cottonseed production, at 4.76 million tons (4,32
million metric tons), was 26 percent below 1981 production.
Pretiminary season average price is $77.50 per ton compared with $86.00 in

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1983 A-12 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


SWEET CHERRIES: First forecast of California sweet cherry production 10.5
as thousand tons (9530 metric tons}, down 8 percent from 1982,
and off 68 percent from 1981.

Rains caused poor pollination and fruit split. Harvest of early varieties
began May 2 and Bing harvest expected to start late May.

ALMONDS: California almond crop forecast 280 million pounds (127 thousand

metric tons) shelled basis, 19 percent below last year's production
of 347 million pounds (157 thousand metric tons) and 31 percent less than 1981
record crop.

Heavy spring rains and unfavorable weather conditions during pollination
substantially reduced prospective yields. Sacramento Valley hardest hit, but
some early and mid-season blooming varieties have fair to good nut sets.
Particularly affected by adverse weather are Butte, Thompson, and Mission
varieties. Nonpareil variety sets quite variable but heaviest in southern San
Joaquin Valley.

POTATOES: Spring production forecast 17.2 million cwt (781 thousand metric

tons down 3 percent from April 1, 16 percent below last year.
Rain and wet soils in April continued to hamper development in California,
Alabama, Florida. Area for harvest, estimated at 75.4 thousand acres (30.5
thousand hectares), down 3 percent from last year. Average yield expectation
slipped to 228 cwt per acre, 36 cwt below last year.

California's forecast dropped to 7.72 million cwt, down 5 percent from last
month, 19 percent below 1982 production. Continued spring rains hampered
growth and plant progress. Harvest will begin about May 8, with lower than
normal yields expected.

Forecast in Florida trimmed to 4.60 million cwt, down 2 percent from
April 1, 15 percent below last season. Early yields good in Hastings area but
expected to drop on late planted acreage because of poor stands. Harvest
started slowly but will pick up rapidly in May. In most other Florida areas,
harvest near completion; yields remain low because of poor stands and small
tuber sizes. Panhandte area harvest will not start until June.

Alabama growers’ fear loss of 400 acres in Mobile and Baldwin Counties
because of wet fields and cold April temperatures. Harvest not started as of
May 1. In North Carolina, freezing mid-April temperatures damaged potatoes.
Present conditions poor to fair.

Texas forecast holding at’ last month's level -- 1.06 million cwt. In both
the Knox-Haskell and San Antonio-Winter Garden areas, potatoes making better
progress after slow start. Some wind and blowing sand problems mid-April in
Rio Grande Valley. Warming temperatures aiding recent development.

PASTURE AND RANGE: May 1 pasture and range feed condition for 48 contiguous

States 80 percent compared 79 percent both year ago and
1972-81 average. Conditions more favorable than year ago in 25 States, less
in 22, and equal in one State. Most areas of the country had ample moisture
during April but cool temperatures slowed vegetative growth.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: May 1 stocks on farms totaled 29.0 million tons (26.3

—~——————" million metric tons), 15 percent above 1982. Disappear-
ance January through April totaled 79.0 million tons (71.7 million metric
tons) compared with 74.6 million tons (67.7 million metric tons) during
comparable period last year. May 1 stocks 19 percent of 1982 hay production
compared with 18 percent of production last year. ~

TOBACCO 1982 REVISED: Production al] tobacco 1.98 billion pounds (899 thousand
~~~" metric tons), 4 percent below 1981. Most decrease
caused by smaller flue-cured crop. Area harvested, at 908 thousand acres (367
thousand hectares), 7 percent below 1981. Yield averaged record high 2183
pounds, 69 pounds above 1981.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the May 1 winter wheat
production forecast, the “Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based
om past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviation
between the May 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 May 1 winter wheat production
forecast is 6.4 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast of 1.89 billion bushels will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 6.4 percent or approximately 121 million
bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 13.1 percent or approximately 210 million bushels.
Differences between the May 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 95.9 million bushels, ranging
from 4 million to 237 million bushels. The May 1 forecast has been below the
final estimate 7 times and above 3 times. This does not imply that the May 1
winter wheat forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final
production,

WINTER WHEAT: Production forecast at 1.89 billion bushels (51.5 million metric
~ ~ tons) based on conditions May 1. This 1s down 10 percent from
last year's record high production of 2.11 billion bushels (57.4 million
metric tons). Production prospects down from last year because of sharp
reduction in acres for harvest only partially offset by yield increases.

Producers expect to harvest 47.1 million acres (19.0 million hectares) for
grain, 19 percent below last year's 58.3 million acres (23.6 million hectares).
Reduced acreage largely result of heavy participation in 1983 farm programs.
Indicated acreage for harvest 75 percent of planted area. Last year, farmers
harvested 88 percent of planted acres.

Yield per harvested acre forecast at record high 40.2 bushels. This

compares with 36.1 bushels last year and is 3.3 bushels above previous record
high of 36.9 bushels established in 1979,

Growers in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina, plan a 4 percent
increase in acreage. ‘Plantings in Georgia, the largest producing State, are
expected to increase 4 percent. Florida and South Carolina, each anticipate
an 8 percent increase in acreage. Alabama acreage intentions are up 1 percent.

Acreage is expected to remain the same in the Virginia-North Carolina area,

Acreage intentions in the Southwest (New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas) are down
5 percent from 1982. In Texas, intentions are off last year's pace by 8
percent. Oklahoma's acreage is unchanged but New Mexico growers are planning
a 1600 acre increase.

SUNFLOWER: Growers intend to plant 3.59 million acres (1.45 million hectares)
——— of sunflower for all purposes in 1983, down 28 percent from last
year. This acreage represents planting intentions for both of] and non-oil
type sunflower for the four States in the estimating program. Intended area
for the oil types, at 3.41 million acres (1.38 million hectares) is down 28
percent from last year. Indicated non-oil type, at 182 thousand acres (73.7
thousand hectares), is down 27 percent from last year. Oi] type acreage makes
up 95 percent of the total.

011 type planting intentions are down from a year ago in all States.
Minnesota’s intended decrease is 44 percent, while North Dakota will be down
25 percent, South Dakota down 14 percent, and Texas down 80 percent. Non-oil
acreage intentions dropped 49 percent in Minnesota and 24 percent in North
Dakota, These two States account for 98 percent of the non-oil acreage
ntentions,

COTTON: Planted area of all cotton is expected to total 8.13 million acres
— (3.29 million hectares) in 1983, down 28 percent from 1982 plantings
and 12 percent less than intentions reported in February. Prospective
plantings include 8.06 million acres (3.26 million hectares) of Upland and 68.0
thousand acres (27.5 thousand hectares) of American-Pima. If U.S. a11 cotton
intentions are carried out, this will be the smallest planted acreage in over
one hundred years. Widespread participitation in the paid diversion and
payment-in-kind programs is the major factor contributing to the lower acreage.
Unfavorable weather has delayed planting in most areas of the producing belt,
but fs not yet a factor in any further reduction of acreage.

Growers in the Southeastern States plan to plant 470 thousand acres, 24
percent less than in 1982. Planting, slowed by wet fields, was about 20
percent finished by May 1.

Acreage in the Delta States is expected to total 1.69 million acres, down
30 percent from last year. Planting started later than normal and moved slowly
due to wet fields and cool weather but gained momentum the last week of April
and was about 12 percent complete by May 1, slightly behind last year's pace
and about one week later than average.

Texas and Oklahoma growers expect to plant 4.68 million acres of Upland
cotton in 1983, 25 percent less than last year's plantings. By May 1, about 12
percent of the acreage was planted in Texas, compared with 17 percent last year
and the average of 21 percent.

Western States' producers plan to plant 1.21 million acres of Upland in
1983, 37 percent less than last year. Planting in Arizona was nearing
completion by May 1, with 85 percent of the acreage planted. Progress is
behind both last year and average in California and New Mexico due to excess
moisture.

PROSPECTIVE PLANTINGS

CORN: Producers expect to plant 58.8 million acres (23.8 million hectares) of

corn for au purposes in 1983, down 28 percent from the 81.9 million
acres (33,1 million hectares) planted in 1982, The large decrease is
attributed to the heavy sign-up in acreage reduction programs.

Farmers in the twelve North Central States, which account for 77 percent
of the expected U.S. planted acres, intend to plant 31 percent less acreage in
3983 then a year earlier. All States in this region are expecting large
decreases from last year. The acreage reduction for the major States
follows: lowa, 4.80 million acres; Illinois, 3.60 million acres; Minnesota,
2.70 million acres; Nebraska, 2.10 million acres; and Indiana, 1.80 million
acres.

In the Southern States, plantings are expected to be down from 1982 in all
States except Louisiana. Kentucky growers indicate a decline of 380 thousand
acres; North Carolina is off 350 thousand acres; Texas, off 200 thousand;
Tennessee, down 170 thousand acres; and Virginia, down 160 thousand acres.

In the West, all States except Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming are expecting
decreases from 1982. The largest decreases are expected in Colorado and
California -- 190 thousand acres and 70 thousand acres, respectively.

SORGHUM: Growers intend to plant 12.0 million acres (4.86 million hectares) of
sorghum for all purposes in 1983, a decrease of 26 percent from 1982.

Texas producers are cutting back 38 percent to 3.70 million acres, but will
still lead the Nation in planted acreage. Kansas is expected to be a close
second, with 3.50 million acres, down 10 percent from 1982. Nebraska's total
of 1.10 million acres is down 41 percent. These three States account for 69
percent of the U.S. total. Sorghum planting was two-thirds complete in Texas
and had commenced in Oklahoma and Missouri by May 1.

OATS: Acreage seeded to oats for all purposes in 1983 is expected to total

21.3 million acres (8.62 million hectares), 50 percent greater than
last year, However, 42 percent of the total, 8.96 million acres (3.62 million
hectares), is intended to be seeded for conservation use only, under the
government’ farm programs. Acreage increases are expected in 19 of the 36
States that produce oats. Largest increases are in Iowa and Illinois which
show increases of 4.35 million and 2.07 million acres, respectively. Iowa
farmers plan to seed 4,95 million acres for conservation use and Illinois
farmers report 2.05 million acres for this purpose.

BARLEY: Area seeded to barley for all purposes in 1983 is expected to total

0.6 million acres (4.31 million hectares) compared with 9.63 million
acres (3.90 million hectares) planted in 1982. Of the total, 489 thousand
acres (198 thousand hectares) or less than 5 percent was planted for
conservation use under government programs. Three States--North Dakota,
Montana and Colorado--are expected to account for three-quarters of the
expected conservation use acreage.

North Dakota, the leading State, will plant a total of 2.80 million acres
of barley, up 35 percent from last year. Montana's 1.95 million acres is up
18 percent, Minnesota growers intend to increase plantings by 6 percent to
950 thousand acres. Acreage declines are expected in Washington and Idaho
with reductions of 2 and 11 percent, respectively.

ALL WHEAT: Area seeded to all wheat for the 1983 crop is expected to total

77.4 million acres (31.3 million hectares), 11 percent less than
last year's 87.3 million acres (35.3 million hectares), and 13 percent below
1981 seedings. This estimate is based on farmers‘ intentions to seed spring
wheat as of April 25, together with the December 1, 1982 estimate of winter
wheat seeded for harvest in 1983,

HAY: Farmers intend to harvest 60.7 million acres (24.6 million hectares) of
— hay in 1983, virtually the same as harvested in 1982. Major increases
in intended hay for harvest were reported by the following States: Wisconsin,
200 thousand arce Okjahoma, 160 thousand acres; and Ohio, 100 thousand
acres. States indicating major declines were: Missouri, 180 thousand acres;
Iowa, 140 thousand acres, and Montana, 100 thousand acres. Most areas
experienced a rather mild winter and moisture supplies for the first four
months are generally adequate.

DRY EDIBLE BEANS: “U.S. farmers intend to plant 1.21 million acres of dry
==" beans (491 thousand hectares), 36 percent below 1982.
Acreage fs down from 1982 in all producing States. Colorado and Idaho growers
both cut their acreages 23 percent. California, Michigan, and North Dakota
anticipate 35, 36, and 45 percent reductions in planted acres, respectively.
Nebraska's acreage is down. 42 percent. Reduced export potential, low prices,
and federal program restrictions on double-cropping, all contributed to

reduced acreage intentions.

SWEETPOTATOES: With planting in progress, U.S. sweetpotato growers except to

put in 102 thousand acres (41.4 thousand hectares) of the crop
in 1983. This is 3 percent below plans made in February, 12 percent below
last year, and the smallest planted acreage since records began.

North Carolina acreage should hold at 35.0 thousand acres, the same as
February plans, but 17 percent below last year. Louisiana growers plan to cut
back 7 percent from. earlier plans and plant 25.0 thousand acres, a drop of 11
percent from 1982.

Each of the sweetpotato States, except Tennessee, will likely have fewer
acres planted than last year. Five of the 12 producing States expect fewer
acres now than they had planned in February.

TOBACCO: Growers intend to harvest 813 thousand acres (329 thousand hectares)

of all tobacco, 10 percent less than in 1982, This would be the
smallest acreage harvested since 1889. Most of the decline is caused by the
reduction in flue-cured and burley acreage.

Flue-cured growers intend to harvest 431 thousand acres (174 thousand
hectares -- smallest acreage of record -- 9 percent below 1982. Acreage down
in all producing States.

Burley producers plan to reduce acres for harvest 13 percent from 1982.
Their fntentions indicate 296 thousand acres (120 thousand hectares) for
harvest. Acreage in Kentucky and Tennessee down 14 and 15 _ percent,
respectively. A 16 percent reduction is expected in Virginia while North
Carolina growers plan to cut acreage by 8 percent from 1982. Ohio's acreage
is down 9 percent. West Virginia is planning a 5 percent acreage increase
from 1982,

SUGARBEET: Growers intend to plant 1.10 million acres (443 thousand

hectares) of sugarbeets in 1983. If these intentions are
realized, planted acreage will be 3 percent more than 1982 but 12 percent less
than 1981. Continuing contract negotiations may affect acreage actually

planted,

Intended acreage is up in 9 States, down in 6. Minnesota, with an
expected 257 thousand acres, will have the largest acreage--up 1 percent from
last year. California, with 180 thousand acres, and Idaho, with 148 thousand
acres are both up 6 percent from a year ago. North Dakota, with 147 thousand
acres, is down fractionally.

Rain, wet soils or contract negotiations have delayed plantings in Central
& Northern California, Colorado, Nebraska and Wyoming. Planting is on
schedule in North Dakota. Irrigation may be needed for germination in
Montana. Plant closings and openings in 1983 are expected to remove Arizona
from the list of producing States and to add Ohio.
