Production in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and
South Carolina) is expected to total 3.10 billion pounds, up 18 percent from
1988. Growers expect to harvest 1.05 million acres, 2 percent above last
year. Yield for the 4-State area is expected to average 2,966 pounds per
acre, 404 pounds greater than last year. Rainfall was abundant in this
region, but insects and disease problems are causing same concern for the

crop.
The Virginia-North Carolina area production is forecast at 737 million

pounds, up 8 percent from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total
245 ‘thousand acres, slightly above the 1988 harvested area. Yield per

harvested acre, at 3 1006 pounds, is 203 pounds above last year' s final yield.
Favorable temperatures and adequate moisture have resulted in favorable crop
development.

The Southwest crop (New Mexico, Oklahama, and Texas) is expected to total
691 million pounds, up 3 percent from last year. Area for harvest is

RICE: The 1989 rice production is forecast at 151 million hundredweight, 5
percent below 1988 but 16 percent above 1987. ‘The lower production,
than last year, resulted from less acres. for harvest and lower yields.

Area for harvest is expected to total 2.75 million acres, 5 percent less
than the 2.90 million acres harvested in 1988. Area for harvest is down in
all States except Missouri, which is up 4 percent. The decrease in acres for
harvest in the other States ranged from 2 percent in California to 10 percent
in Texas. Arkansas producers plan to harvest 6 percent less acreage than in
1988.

Yield is expected to average 5,497 pounds per acre, 14 pounds below the
5,511 pounds in 1988. This would be the lowest yield since 1985. Yields an
down in all States except California, which is expected to be 7,700 pounds
per acre, up 700 pounds from 1988. In Arkansas, yield is expected to be down
150 pounds and in Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas, yields are expected to be
down 100 pounds each from last year. Mississippi's yield is expected to be
down 200 pounds from last year.

Rice harvest was underway in Louisiana and Texas at the end of July.
Harvest lagged behind normal in Louisiana. Crop development lagged behind
normal in the Delta but was near normal in California and Texas. Excessive
moisture and disease problems lowered prospective yields in the Delta.

SOYBEANS: Production is forecast at 1.91 billion bushels, 24 percent above

last year but 1 percent below 1987. Yield is forecast at 32.3
bushels per acre, 5.5 bushels higher than 1988 and the fourth highest of
record. Planted acreage was revised to 60.5 million acres, a 1 percent
decrease from July. Harvested acreage was lowered 2 percent. from July to
59.1 million acres. Acreage revisions were necessary to reflect planting
intentions not realized in the Delta.

Soybean p. Plantings were delayed in the eastern Corn Belt due to wet
conditions during May and June. Extremely wet conditions in the Delta
delayed both single and double crop plantings. Pod set is later than normal
in virtually all States. Crop condition is mostly good as of August 1.

FARM NUMBERS DECLINE FROM 1988

The number of farms in the United States in 1989 is estimated at 2.17
million, down 1 percent from the 2.20 million in 1988. Total land in farms
for 1989 is 991 million acres, down fractionally from 1988. Since the number
of farms has declined at a faster rate than land in farms, the average size
of farms increased from 453 acres in 1988 to 456 acres in 1989.

The proportion of farms with sales less than $10,000 decreased from 1988
and the tion with sales between $10,000 and $100, 000 increased, while
the proportion with sales greater than $100, 000 remained virtually unchanged.
Farms with sales less than $10, 000 account’ for almost half of all farms but
only about 11 percent of land in farm. In contrast, farms with sales greater
than $100,000 account for less than 15 percent of all farms, but almost half
of the total farm land.

sizes above normal. Washington's harvest is expected to start in early
September. The crop is in good condition.

Fruit is sizing nicely in Michigan which has received adequate rainfall
this this year. Harvest should begin in late August. July storms damaged the
crop in the Hudson Valley of New York.

GRAPES: The production forecast for all grapes in the United States is 5.89

million tons, 2 percent below last season but 12 percent above the
1987 crop. The California all grape forecast is 5.35 million tons, 2 percent
below the 1988 season but 15 percent above the 1987 production.
California raisin type grape fonast as of August 1, basdl on the findings
of the grape objective measurement survey, is set at 2.60 million tons, up
6 percent from the July forecast. If realized, this will be a 2
increase from 1988 production and 20 percent higher than 1987. The Thampson
seedless crop is in very good condition with high quality reported. The
average cluster count is down slightly, but clusters are tending to be full
and berry size large. There is no Raisin Industry Diversion Program (RID)
for 1989. This compares to 25,000 acres enrolled in the RID Program during
1988.

The August 1 forecast for California's wine type grapes is set at 2.05
million tons, unchanged fram the initial July forecast. This is a 6 percent
decrease from 1988 but 5 percent above the 1987 crop. Harvesting of wine
grapes began during the first week of August. Clusters in same San Joaquin
Valley vineyards were reported to be smaller than normal. French Colombard
and Chenin Blanc varieties were noted to be lighter. The crop in the Central
and North Coast areas was in very good condition.

California table type grape production is set at 700 thousand tons,
unchanged from last month's forecast. If realized, this will be 7 percent
below the 1988 level but 30 percent above the 1987 production. The harvest
of table grapes for fresh market was active in the San Joaquin Valley during
July. Excellent quality was reported for most varieties. Extremely high
temperatures in early July caused some burn damage to Tokay grapes in the
Lodi area.

The Michigan grape crop is forecast at 50.0 thousand tons, down 6

from last year. Severe freezes in May did not do as much damage as
originally feared. There has been plentiful rainfall in the State's grape
growing areas, but there has been a significant outbreak o! f disease as well.
Cold spring weather Gelayed crop development, so harvest will be later than
normal. Concord harvest is expected to begin by late September. ‘The New
York ail grape forecast is set at 155 thousaml tors, a 1 percent decline fron
last season. New York growers experienced an extremely rainy spring growing
season, making it difficult to complete trimming, tying, and spraying on
schedule. Fruit: set and vegetative growth varied greatly. Disease pressure
was extrenely high during the bere eign shea Mergen rsp

recent dry conditions have decreased disease pressure. Grape production in
Pennsylvania is forecast at 57.0 thousand tons, 2 percent below last year.
Average date of full bloom for Pennsylvania's grape crop in 1989 was June 24,

with June 18 in 1988. Growers reported that heavy rains have made

is 230 thousand tons, 26 percent above 1988 production. The forecast
consists of 190 thousand tons of Concord grapes and 40 thousand tons of wine
varieties. Concord prospects in the Yakima Valley are excellent as growers
experienced the first frost free spring in 31 years. Cluster counts are very
high but the berry count is only average. July weather was ideal for berry
sizing. Wine grape prospects are generally average as some varieties were
damaged by the February cold spell.

Michigan's crop, at 14.0 thousand tons, is expected to be 27 percent more
than last year's drought reduced crop. Harvest has begun on Japanese
varieties and the harvest of Stanleys is expected to start in mid-August.

The Oregon forecast of 15.0 thousand tons is 29 percent less than the
1988 crop. Freezing weather in February and last year's large crop combined
to reduce prospects this year. Fruit size fram Douglas County will be

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production is forecast at 5.80 million pounds
for August 1989, 18 percent higher than August 1988. Output is

anticipated to dip to 5.50 million pounds in September, rise to 5.80 million

pounds in October, then drop again in November to 5.00 million pounds.

July fresh sales are estimated at 5.20 million pounds, 15 percent lower
than June and 6 percent lower than July 1988. Operations for a major packing
plant were suspended for several weeks during the month after fruit fly
larvae were detected in a shipment to California, causing total fresh sales
to be below earlier expectations. Year-to-date fresh output surpass the

le January-July period of 1988 by 27 percent. Weather conditions
July were 2 mixture o £ sunshine and and heavy rainfall over major papaya
producing areas. the passing of two tropical ‘storms heavy rains.
The lack of strong winds kept danage mininal but grovers intensified spraying
to keep disease outbreaks

Area devoted to papaya production totaled 4300 acres. This was 1 percent
more than June but 1 percent less than last July. Harvested area totaled
2445 acres, 4 percent lower than the previous month but 7 percent higher than
a year ago.

APPLES: The Nation's apple forecast, at 9.73 billion pounds, is fractionally
more than the July 1 forecast and 6 percent more than the 1988 crop.

Production in the Eastern States is forecast at 2.62 billion pounds, up
1 percent from the July 1 forecast but 12 percent less than a year ago.
Increased prospects in western New York and North Carolina offset declines
in New England, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Poor bloom and set, along with
disease problems caused by heavy rains, have limited crop prospects in New
England. In New York, the western crop is sizing nicely. Scab has beena
problem but drier weather recently has helped reduce disease pressure.
Severe storms damaged the crop in eastern New York. Harvest of summer apples
has begun in New Jersey. Scab has been a problem. The Virginia crop
continues to display more damage than earlier anticipated from last spring's
freezes. Heavy rains have not helped fruit quality.

The crop in the Central States, forecast at 1.48 billion pounds, is
fractionally more than the July 1 forecast and 20 percent more than last
year's drought reduced crop. Michigan's crop continues to be in good
condition. “The Indiana crop is sizing nicely. Adequate rains and near
normal Conperatures have helped size and quality.

Production in the Western States is forecast at 5.63 billion pounds,
fractionally more than last month's forecast and 14 percent more than last
year. The Gravenstein harvest has begun in California. ‘There are same
reports of sunburn. Conditions are generally good in Oregon and Washington.

JULY WEATHER SUMMARY

Thunderstorms remained scattered across the eastern half of the Nation
with some storms producing torrential rain. Heavy rain in the Southeast early
in the month resulted from the remains of Tropical Storm Allison while
Hurricane Chantal developed in the Gulf at month's end. Hot, dry weather

ed across the northern Plains while thunderstorms brought very
beneficial rain to parts of the western Corn Belt. Below-nommal ures
persisted in the central and southern Plains and middle Mississippi valley.
(Prepared by the NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)

JULY CROP DEVELOPMENT

Early in July, hot, dry weather stressed crops in the northern Great
Plains and western Corn Belt. Soil moisture was mostly short to adequate.
About mid-July, rain improved conditions in the western Corn Belt, but
additional ) was still needed. The last week of July, rain again improved
soil moisture in the western Corn Belt and also in the ‘central and southern
Great Plains. At month's end, soil moisture was mastly adequate to short in
those areas. Rain slowed crop development and fieldwork in the Delta and
much of the East during the entire month. Soil moisture was mostly adequate
to surplus. ‘The West remained seasonably dry, with soil moisture supplies
mostly short to adequate.

Corn was mostly good to fair during July. Crop development lagged behind
normal during the month. In middle to late July, rain improved crop
condition in the western Corn Belt. By July 30, siiting was 74 percent (2)
finished, 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Fourteen percent
of the crop had ears in the dough stage, 11 points behind normal. Harvest
was underway in Georgia, Texas, and portions of the Delta.

Soybeans were mostly good to fair during July. Rain hampered planting
and crop development in the Delta during the month. Excess moisture stressed
soybeans in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, where crop coniition wes
mostly fair to ‘poor. Flooding forced replanting in those areas early in
July. At month's end, soybeans were mostly good in Illinois and Indiana and
good to fair in Iowa. In the 19 major producing States, crop development
lagged behind normal, especially in Ohio, Where the percentages of ac of acreage
blooming and setting’ pods were both more than 30 points behind normal By

July 30, in the major producing States, 66% of the acreage had bloomed and
29% was setting pods. Normally, 73% ‘would be blooming and 37% would be
setting pods.

was mostly good to fair in July. By July 30, 33% of the acreage

was headed, 9 points behind normal. Seventeen percent’ of the acreage had
turned color, equal to the average. Sorghum was good to excellent in Kansas
and good to fair in Nebraska and Texas.

Cotten was mostly fair to good during July, Crop development lagged
behind normal in the Delta and Southeast during the month. Excessive
moisture lowered crop condition in portions of the Delta. By the end of
July, the percentage of cotton acres setting bolls lagged more than 20 points
behind normal in Louisiana and Mississippi. In the 14 major producing
States, 88% of the acreage was squaring, 6 points behind normal at month's
end. Fifty-seven percent of the acreage was setting bolls, 9 points behind
normal. Harvest was underway in Texas. Bolls were opening in southern
California. In Arizona, cotton was mostly good to excellent. Rain, hail,
and wind damaged some fields the last week of the month in southwestern
Arizona.

HIGHLIGHTS

ALL WHEAT production is forecast as of August 1, at 2.04 billion bushels, up
13 percent from 1988, but 3 percent below July 1. Average yield at
32.6 bushels per acre is 0.8 bushel less than July 1 and 1.5 bushels
below last year.

CORN FOR GRAIN production is forecast at 7.35 billion bushels, 49 percent
above last year’s drought reduced crop. The yield per acre is 112.8
bushels, up 28.2 bushels from last year but 6.6 bushels below the
record high of 119.4 bushels in 1987.

SOYBEAN production is forecast at 1.91 billion bushels, 24 percent above
1988. Yield is forecast at 32.3 bushels per acre, the fourth highest of
record.

ALL COTTON production for the 1989 season is forecast at 11.8 million
bales, down.23 percent from last year and 20 percent below 1987.

PEANUT production for 1989 is forecast at 4.53 billion pounds up 14 percent
from last year and 25 percent above 1987. Each of the three growing
areas expect higher production this year.

ALL HAY production for 1989 is forecast at 145 million tons, an increase of
14 percent from last year’s drought reduced output. Higher yields are
only partially offset by lower acreage.

ALL TOBACCO production for 1989 is forecast at 1.48 billion pounds, 8 percent
above 1988. The higher production is resulting from increased acreage
which more than offset lower average yields.

NUMBER OF FARMS in the U.S. in 1989 is estimated at 2.17 million, down down
1 percent from 1988. Land in farms is estimated at 991 million acres,
a decrease of less than 1 percent from 1988. Average size of farms
increased from 453 acres in 1988 to 456 acres in 1989.

CrPr 2-2 (8-89) For Information Call: (202) 447-2127



Upland cotton production in Texas and Oklahoma is forecast at 3.18
million bales, 42 percent below 1988. In Texas, varying weather conditions
in the state have reduced yield potential of the crop from last year's, 472
pounds per acre. Texas cotton has been adversely affected by weather,
ranging from hail to drought. Heavy losses of acreage necessitated
replanting to other crops.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and
Tennessee) expect to produce 3.60 million bales, down 24 percent from last
year. Abandoned acreage is above normal due to heavy rains which also caused
crop stress and poor root development and lowered the plants' fruit counts,
especially in Mississippi. The crop is generally in fair condition in the
region.

Production in the Western States (Arizona, California, and New Mexico)
is expected to total 3.35 million bales, down 12 percent from 1988. The
arizona and California crops are in good to excellent condition and yields

are expected to average more than in 1988. Growers expect to harvest 1.35
million acres, down 23 percent from last year.

The forecast in the poupneactern States (Alabama, Georgia, North
carolina, and South Carolina) puts production at 1.03 million bales,
virtually unchanged from 1988. Crop development was delayed early in the
season, due to excessive rainfall, but is progressing well.

Bureau of the Census reports 90,154 running bales ginned prior to August
1, compared with 136,063 running bales to the same date last year and 1,178
running bales in 1987.

QOTTONSEED: Production for 1989, based on a three year average lint-seed
ratio, is expected to total 4.62 million tons, down 24 percent
from the 1988 production of 6.06 million tons.

ALL HAY: Production is forecast at 145 million tons, an increase of 14

percent from last year. The larger production reflects higher
yields which are only partially being offset by lower acreage. Area for
harvest, totaling 62.9 million acres, is down 4 percent from 1988. The
forecast average yield of 2.31 tons per acre compares with last year's
drought reduced average of 1.93 tons per acre.

ALFALFA AND ALFALFA MIXTURES: Production is forecast at 77.6 million tons,

12 percent above last year. The total area
cut and to be cut, at 25.5 million acres, falls short of last year's area
harvested by 4 percent. Yield is expected to average 3.04 tons per acre, up
0.44 ton from the 1988 average yield.

ALL OTHER HAY: Production of all other hay is expected to total 67.5 million

tons, 17 percent more than a year earlier. Area harvested

is expected to total’ 37.4 million acres, 4 percent below last year. Yield

acre is expected to average 1.81 tons, compared with 1.48 tons per acre
in 1988.

SORGHUM FOR GRAIN: The first forecast of 1989 grain sorghum production is

664 million bushels, 15 percent from 1988. Area for
harvest as grain is 10. 5 million acres, up 6 percent from last year, but off
1 percent from the 1989 mid-year acreage estimate. The acreage changes are
in Louisiana, New Mexico and Texas. Yields are expected to average 63.1
bushels per acre, down just 0.7 bushels from last season. Yields are up
dramatically in the Southeast; growers in Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky,
Mississippi, and North Carolina are expecting record yield levels.
Colorado's yield is at a new high, Oklahoma's equals the record.
yields are up in all remaining estimating States, except Arizona, Nebraska,
New Mexico, and Texas.

Growing conditions have been favorable in Colorado's major sorghum areas,
despite a dry spring. The Kansas crop rated mostly good to excellent as of
July 30; crop progress trails average, however. Sub~soil moisture is shorter
than last year in Nebraska, and the crop rates in mostly fair to good
condition. Oklahoma's sorghum crop rated in good to excellent condition as
of July 30. Rainfall for July was less than in 1988, but average
temperatures have been cooler. South Dakota's crop is in mostly fair
condition. The Texas harvest was 41 percent complete as of July 30, 8 points
ahead of average.

OATS: ‘Total production is forecast at 381 million bushels, down 2 percent

from last month, but 74 percent above the drought reduced crop of
1988. ‘he expected yield per acre is forecast at 52.3 bushels conpared with
last season's average of 39.1 bushels. Area harvested and to be harvested
at 7.28 million acres, is up 30 percent from last year's 5.59 million acres.

Yields in the major producing States of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and
South Dakota are up sharply from last year's drought reduced levels.

Harvest is nearly complete as far north as Iowa and well under way in
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Oat harvest in South Dakota is behind last year but
ahead of normal.

BARLEY: Total production is forecast at 392 million bushels, down 12 percent

from last month, but 35 percent above the drought reduced crop of
1988. The expected yield per acre is forecast at 45.8 bushels compared with
last season's average of 38.6 bushels. Area harvested and to be harvested
at 8.56 million acres, is 14 percent above last year's 7.54 million acres.

Yields in the major producing States of North Dakota, Montana, and
Minnesota are up considerably from the drought levels of 1988. Idaho's yield
is 7 bushels above last year. Above normal temperatures and below normal
precipitation during July reduced yields from last month's forecast in
Minnesota and North Dakota.

ALL WHEAT: Total production is forecast at 2.04 billion bushels, 13

percent from 1968 but 3 percent below July 1. Average yield, at
32.6 bushels per acre, is 0.8 bushel less than July 1 and 1.5 bushels bel:
last year. Harvested area is now expected to total 62.7 million acres, up
18 percent from last season but off 1 percent from last month.

DRY EDIBLE BEANS: Production of dry edible beans is forecast at 24.9 million

cwt, up 29 percent from last year, but 4 short of

two years ago. Area for harvest is forecast at 1.79 million acres, up 31

from 1988 and 6 percent above 1987. The average yield is projected

at 1,389 pounds per acre, down 1 percent from last year and 10 percent less
than two years ago.

Wet weather during June severely delayed planting of Michigan dry beans
with’ acet Of the nereage planted 2ptar dune! sot The crop is late and
farmers are hoping for a frost free September so beans will have time to
mature. duly Drought dry weather to the North Central States stressing dry
beans in the Red ver Valley area of North Dakota and Minnesota and causing
uneven growth in Nebraska. Irrigation has been used steadily in the Platte
Valley of Colorado and Nebraska. Dryland beans on Colorado's western slope
and in Utah are short of moisture and suffering.

Wyaming beans are late but in fair to good condition, aided by irriga-
tion. The Idaho dry bean is looking great with only minor problems from
insects and disease. W. bean fields are rated 95 good.
California growers expect above average yields if current ideal conditions
continme. Garbanzos are harvested, with blackeyes and limas to follow in

SUMMER POTATOES: Production of summer potatoes is forecast at 21.7 million

cwt for 1989, up 7 percent from last year but 5
below two years ago. Area for harvest, at 92.2 thousand acres, 1s down
slightly from 1988, but yields are forecast at 236 cwt per acre, up 7 percent
from last year.

Excessive rains hurt summer potatoes in all of the Atlantic Coast States.
Delays in planting, emergence, development, and harvest have been the usual
rule. New Jersey farmers have predicted their smallest crop ever, with a
reduction in both acreage and yield from last year. Harvest in Delaware was
only 13 percent complete by the first of August, compared with a usual season
of nearly 50 percent harvested. Considerable acreage in Virginia was flooded
aut along with reduced yields on remaining fields.

The mid-Western States and Alabama are recovering from a poor season last
year. Alabama harvest is about one-third completed although slowed by wet
weather. Rains in Michigan during June helped summer potatoes but dryness
in July limited sizing. Harvest is active. Yields are tuming out higher
than last year in most other mid-Western States. Harvest moved ahead in the
Texas High Plains with some varieties complete. Harvest in New Mexico
started in mid-July and is moving to the Four Corners area. Colorado started
early with 11 percent harvested at the end of July. California yields are
above earlier expectations as harvest moves from reds into whites and
russets.

TOBACOO: U.S. all tobacco production is forecast at 1.48 billion pounds, 8

percent above 1988. The higher production from a year ago is the
result of increased acreage. Yield is expected to average 2,102 pounds Pad
acre, compared with 2,160 last year. Area for harvest is up 11 percent from
last year.

Flue-cured production is expected to total 874 million pounds, 7 percent
more than a year ago and fractionally above the forecast a month ago. Yield
per acre, at 2,169 pounds, is 50 pounds lower than last year's average yield.
Area for harvest is 10 percent greater than in 1988.

of Valencia oranges virtually ended by mid-July, except for very light volume
going to a few small juice plants. Grapefruit movement was over for this
season by mid-July. Caretakers have been busy disking and mowing cover
crops. Summer sprays and fertilizers are being applied in all areas.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS AND NUTS: California's growers were busy harvesting fruit

in July. Gravenstein apple harvest began in
Sonama County late in the month. Picking of apricots was winding down. Much
of the avocado bloom did not set in Ventura County, so the 1989-90 crop could
be the smallest in the last 20 years for that area. Bagging, of dates
continued in Riverside County. Harvesting of Flame seedless and Thompson

seedless table grapes progressed in the San Joaquin Valley. Picking of stone
fruits remained active with over two-thirds of the Freestone peaches, plums,
speed

during July. Harvesting of Asian continued, while the Bartlett pear
harvest got underway. Prunes were maturi well with icking expected to
begin in August. Picking of of Srepetmuit rena Riverside County.
The Valencia orange harv hmond orchards were being prepared
for harvest with final ioctios lore Spplied: Spraying for pests continued.

Yield increases over 1988 are expected in most States. Eight States
anticipate yields equal to or above their previous record, including Georgia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Texas, and
Oklahoma. Significant yield increases over last year are anticipated in the
Corn Belt. Illinois is up 12 bushels, Indiana is up 11.5 bushels, and Iowa
is up 6 bushels. Other States with yield increases include Ohio, up 6;
Minnesota, up 7; Missouri, up 6; Kentucky, up 5.5; South Dakota, up 4;
Kansas, up 5; Michigan, up 6; and Wisconsin, up 13. Four States showed no
change in yields from 1988, namely Nebraska, Alabama, Tennessee, and
Maryland. Four States anticipate lower yields this year than last year.
Arkansas and Mississippi each expect a 3 bushel drop in 1989 while Louisiana
expects a 6.5 bushel decline. Excess moisture, particularly on double-

beans, is the cause of lower yield expectations. Florida is 2
bushels below 1988.

COTTON: All cotton production is forecast at 11.8 million bales, down 23
from last year's production, and 20 percent below the 1987

crop. Of the total, Upland is expected to account for 11.2 million bales

while American-Pima production will reach a record high 636 thousand bales.

Planted area, at 10.5 million acres, is down 16 percent from last year
and growers expect to harvest 9.54 million acres, down 20 percent from 1988.
Yield is expected to average 595 pounds per acre, 24 pounds below last year.

WINTER WHEAT: Production is forecast at 1.47 billion bushels as of
August 1, 1989. This is up fractionally from July 1 but 6

percent less than 1988. Area for grain is 41.9 million acres, down 1

from last month but up 5 percent from last year. The forecasted yield for

August 1, 1989 is 35) bushels per acre, up’0.6 bushels from July but down

4.2 bushels from 1988.

By the end of July, about 88 percent of the winter wheat, nationwide, had
been harvested. Much of the remaining area for harvest is in the Pacific
Northwest and Montana.

DURUM WHEAT: Production is now forecast at 90.7 million bushels, up 102

percent from 1988 but down 19 percent from the July 1 fore-
cast. Yields are now expected to average 25.4 bushels per acre, down 5.3
bushels per acre from July 1. The 1988 average was 15.7 bushels per acre.
Area for grain dropped 1 percent from July 1 to 3.57 million acres, but is
up 26 percent from last year.

Hot, dry weather in Minnesota and a prolonged dry spell in Montana's
major durum area has reduced yields in both States by 5.0 bushels from the
July 1 forecast. North Dakota's durum condition has deteriorated during
July; soil moisture supplies rated very short to short as of July 30.
Harvest was just starting. South Dakota's durum areas have not been hit as
hard by dry sonditions os the rece of the state Harvest is progressing
ahead of average.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: Production for 1989 is now forecast at 487 million

bushels, off 10 percent from the July 1 forecast but
more than double the drought t ‘reduced 1988 crop. Yield declines from July in
the major producing area have lowered the average to 28.3 bushels per acre,
3.0 bushels below July 1. This is still 8.8 bushels per acre better than
last season. Area for grain is 17.2 million acres, 1 percent below July 1
but 63 percent more than a year ago.

As of July 31, about 11 percent of the U.S. other spring wheat acreage
had been harvested, with the Dakotas and Minnesota accounting for the largest
share of that acreage.

Hot, dry weather through July lowered Minnesota's expected yields.
Montana's yield potential has also been reduced by hot, dry weather.
Although the crop looks good in most areas, northeastern Montana has been
very dry. North Dakota's spring wheat has deteriorated since July 1, with
condition rated as mostly poor to fair as of July 30. Soil moisture was
rated very short to short. South Dakota's crop rated mostly fair as of July
ore with yields quite variable. Harvest was 41 percent complete, compared
to the average of 34 percent.

Colorado's spring wheat is maturing ahead of average progress; harvest
reached 21 percent completion by July 30. Utah's crop is ripening late.
Harvest trails last year's progress. Washington's crop condition is fair to
good. Harvest conditions have been good. Average quality and sub-normal
yields have been reported.

PEANUTS: Production is forecast at a record 4.53 billion pounds, up 14

percent from last year and 25 percent above 1987. Harvested area,
estimated at 1.65 million acres, is up 1 percent from last year and the
largest acreage for harvest since ‘Bess when 1.67 million acres were
harvested. Yield is expected to average 2,742 pounds per harvested acre, up
297 pounds from 1988 and 403 pounds from 1987. If realized, this would be
the third largest yield on record.

RELIABILITY OF AUGUST 1 PRODUCTION FORECASTS

Crop production forecasts in this report are based primarily on yield
surveys taken about August 1. The yjeld surveys include mailed reports from
farmers for all crops and actual field observations and measurements for corn,
soybeans, cotton, and wheat. Farmers provided appraisals of crop conditions
and probable yield information for crops on their farms and for their
localities. Objective yield surveys provided small plot observations, counts
and measurements in a probability sample. These surveys are subject to
sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to a)} surveys. More
important] the production forecasts are subject to change due to future
weather effects and other factors that cannot be measured currently but
directly affect final production.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of production forecasts in
this report, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past
performance, is shown below for selected crops. This is computed by express-
ing the deviations between the August 1 production forecasts and the final
estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared
percentage deviations for the 1969-88 20-year period; the square root of this
average becomes statistically the “Root Mean Square Error." Probability
statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current fore-
casts relative to the final end of season estimates, assuming that factors
affecting this year’s forecast are not different from those influencing recent
years,

For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the August 1 corn for grain
production forecast is 8.6 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3
that the current production forecast of 7,348 million bushels will not be
above or below the final estimate by more than 8.6 percent or approximate]
632 million bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence Tevel}
that the difference will not exceed 14.9 percent or approximately 1,09
million bushels.

Also shown in the table is a 10-year record for selected crops of the
differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn
again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 364 million bushels, ranging
from 7 million to 1,062 million bushels. The August 1 forecast has been below
the final estimate 4 times and above 6 times. This does not imply that the
August 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final
production. For most crops, the number of years the forecasts have been below
or above the final estimate is about equally distributed.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BOARD


The flue-cured crop in North Carolina is in fair to good condition even
though rainfall has been excessive most of the season. The crop needs warm,
sunny weather. South Carolina's harvest was in full swing the last half of
July and by month's end was 30 percent complete, slightly behind last year
and the average.

Georgia harvest was 60 percent complete compared with the 49 percent
average. July rainfall was plentiful to excessive for tobacco. In Virginia,
topping is nearly complete. Harvest is progressing slowly.

Burley output is expected to total 521 million pounds in 1989, up 9
percent from 1988. The larger production is the result of higher acreage
which is being partly offset by lower yields. Yield is forecast at 2,041
pounds per acre, 68 pounds less than last year. Growers expect to harvest
255 thousand acres, an increase of 13 percent from the area harvested a year
earlier.

In Kentucky, wet field conditions have caused widespread damage. There
are fields blooming with short plants and uneven growth. Disease problems
are evident and growers are spraying to control weeds and aphids. The
Tennessee crop was transplanted late. Recent drier, warmer weather has
improved the outlook somewhat.

Fire-cured production is forecast at 33.0 million pounds, up 7 percent
from a year earlier. Acreage is up 20 percent. Yield is expected to average
2,033 pounds per acre compared with 2,271 pounds the previous year.

Southern Maryland type 32 production, at 18.6 million pounds, is ul
percent from 1988. Area for harvest, at 12.5 thousand acres,
from a year ago. i ee a ren ae meee
last year.

Growers of dark air cured tobacco expect, to harvest 4,240 acres with a

production of 8.87 million pounds. Acreage is up 25 percent and production
increased by 18 percent.

All cigar-type production is expected to total 24.0 million pounds, 7
percent more than in 1988. ‘Both cigar filler and cigar wrapper

are expected to decrease 6 percent, while binder production is expected to
be 27 percent higher than last year.

SUGARBEETS: The sugarbeet production, forecast at 26.6 million tons, is 7

percent above last year's output. The larger production is the
combined result of higher yields and increased acreage from a year ago.
Production is expected to be up in all States except California, Colorado,
and Nebraska.

The total U.S. area for harvest, at 1.32 million acres, is up 2 percent
from last year. Average yield is forecast at 20.1 tons per acre, 1.0 tons
greater than a year earlier.

In Minnesota, yields are expected to be above last year. However, dry
weather and high temperatures have diminished outlook from a month ago.

Michigan sugarbeet stands are very good and weed control has been
effective. Outlook is optimistic but additional rain will be needed.

In North Dakota, a cool, wet April slowed planting. ‘Then, in May,
favorable weather pushed completion ahead of. average. During July, higher
than normal temperatures and lower than average precipitation combined to put
stress on the crop.

In early July, winter wheat was mostly fair to poor. Harvest advanced
slower than normal during the month. Rain slowed harvest in the central
Great Plains during mid-July. By July 30, harvest was 85% complete, 2 points
behind normal. Harvest was complete or nearly complete in 13 of the 20 major
producing States. Harvest was underway in the Pacific Northwest but lagged

behind normal. Harvest also lagged behind normal in Michigan. Early in
duly, Spring wheat was mostly fair to good. Lack of moisture stressed the
crop and by month's end it was mostly fair. Harvest was 12% complete, 2
points behind normal. Harvest had not begun in Idaho and Montana.

CORN FOR GRAIN: The first forecast of the 1989 corn for grain crop is 7.35
billion bushels, 49 percent above last year's drought
reduced crop and 4 percent above the 1987 production.

The U.S. average yield per acre is forecast at 112.8 bushels per acre,
up 28.2 bushels from last year's yield of 84.6 bushels but 6.6 bushels below
the record high of 119.4 bushels produced in 1987. Yields in the leading
States and bushel changes from last year are: Iowa 110, up 26; Illinois
124, up 51; Nebraska 118, down 6; Minnesota 115, up 41; Indiana 123, up
40; Ohio 115, up 30; and Wisconsin 110, up 43.

The area to be harvested for grain is forecast at 65.2 million acres, up
12 percent from 1988 but 1 percent less than the July forecast.

Corn plantings got off to a good start but were delayed by excessive
rains in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The crop has made excellent

progress in the Southeastern States where many record yields are forecast
lack of adequate moisture has reduced prospects in most western Corn Belt

Sone Wyoming acreage has been lost, in the Big Horn Basin because of water

shortages. A good crop is expected on the remaining acreage, if water
supplies hold out.

In Nebraska, ay Severs hail resulted in sope ecreage Toss put crop Prospects
are generally Growers are concerned about irrigation water supplies
which may be forpiy reduced or possibly curtailed in late August or early

SUGARCANE: Sugarcane production for sugar and seed in 1989 is forecast at

30.8 million tons, an increase of 3 percent from last year. The
increase reflects the larger output expected in Florida and Louisiana but is
partially offset by the smaller output expected in Hawaii and Texas.
Nationally, both acreage and yield are higher than in 1988. The harvested
area is expected to total 863 thousand acres, which represents an increase
of 2 percent from 1988. The forecasted yield of 35.7 tons per acre is 0.3
tons above a year earlier.

Florida sugarcane is doing well and has no damage. Same old cane hasn't
made the growth expected for this time of year.

In Hawaii, unusually wet weather is limiting output. Also, the yellow
sugarcane aphid, first observed on the island of Hawali in October 1988, has
spread to all islands. The seriousness of this pest is unclear.

lana sugarcane remained in mostly good condition during July. Rains
have Doce uae oane Tonained in mostly Good condition Guring

With dry weather, the Texas crop is receiving steady irrigation. Salt
buildup has hurt prospects in some fields.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: The pasture and range feed condition on

August 1 for the 48 contiguous States was
73 percent, 4 points below July 1. This condition was 22 points above the
August 1, 1988 level, but 4 points below the 1978-87 average for August 1.
Conditions were better than last month in 13 States, below last month in 27
States, and unchanged in 8 States. Only four States, Nebraska, New Mexico,
North Dakota, and Utah were in the severe drought range and none were in the
extreme drought range. All States east of the Mississippi River were in the
poor to fair range or better, with most in the good to excellent range. Five
States, (Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Utah) had conditions
worse than August 1988.

Nebraska and New Mexico showed improvement from last month. Major
declines from last month were reported in North Dakota and Minnesota. Other
States showing sharp declines from July include Maine, Colorado, Michigan,
Wisconsin, New York, and Iowa.

PRUNES AND PLUMS: Production in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington is
expected to total 48.5 thousand tons, down 7 percent from
last year and 6 percent less than 1987.

Idaho expects a crop of 6500 tons, the same as last year. Picking is
underway. There are some reports of hail damage but little insect or disease

HOPS: The production forecast of 56.1 million pounds is 3 percent more than
last year and 12 percent more than 1987. The yield, at 1625 pounds
per acre, is 13 pounds lower than last year.

Frost damage, earlier in the year, lowered expected yields in Idaho.
conditions have been generally in after some early
setbacks. In Washington, mature hops are good tion but "babies" are
still showing the effects of the cold weather in February combined with a
cool spring. The increased acreage of aroma types, which are lower yielding
than cluster types, has also lowered the overall yield in Washington.

PEACHES: The production forecast for all peaches is 2.28 billion pounds,

dom 2 percent, from the July 1 forecast and 13 percent less than
last year. Excluding California Clingstone peaches, the U.S.
forecast at 1.31 billion pounds, down fractionally from july 1 and 19 percent
less than 1988.

California's Clingstone crop, at 970 million pounds, is down 5 percent
from the July forecast and 4 percent less than a year ago. The crop is about
one-third picked. Sizes have been very small and the extra early varieties
picked out below expectations. Quality has been average.

California Freestone crop forecast of 510 million pounds is unchanged
from last month but 2 percent less than 1988. The crop is about three-
fourths picked. Fruit size has been small but quality has been good.

South Carolina's forecast of 265 million pounds is unchanged from the
July 1 forecast but 22 less than last season's crop. Harvest is
about three-fourths complete which is ahead of last year but slightly behind
the 5 year average. Movement is declining fast from the Ridge and most of
the remaining peaches will come from the upstate region.

Harvest has started in Michigan. Quality and size have been excellent.

The quality of fruit picked in New Jersey has been hurt by disease due to

rains which hampered spraying. Early varieties from New York have

had large fruit size and good quality. Sone of the West Virginia crop has

suffered | from split pits and short shelf life; however, the fruit of
excel size.

OLIVES: th ene beet for California olives is 100 thousand tons,

from last year's crop and 48 percent greater than
1987. guatity of the 1989 olive crop is reported as average with maturity.
about one week ahead of normal.

PEARS: The production forecast of 837 thousand tons is down 1 percent from
July 1 and 3 percent less than last year.

Bartlett pear production in California, Oregon, and Washington is
forecast at 485 thousand tons, unchanged from last month but 4 percent less
than last year. The California crop continues to be in excellent condition.
Harvest is nearing completion in the Sacramento River District but just
starting in Lake County. Fruit size is good in the Sacramento River District
but is smaller than normal in Lake County. Quality appears to be excellent.
In Washington, harvest of a good, smooth crop is expected to begin about
August 10.
