The California Desert grapefruit forecast is 3.90 million boxes, 5 percent
above the 1989-90 crop. Arizona's grapefruit crop is forecast at 2.20 million
boxes, unchanged from both the October 1 forecast and last season.

TANGELOS: The Florida tangelo crop production forecast is 3.10 million boxes,
unchanged from October 1 but 5 percent above last season.

TANGERINES: The U.S. all tangerine forecast is 4.75 million boxes, the same as

October 1 but 22 percent above the 1989-90 crop. This forecast
includes the Dancy, Robinson, Honey, and Sunburst varieties of tangerines in
Florida, as well as production of California and Arizona tangerines. Florida
Sunburst tangerines are included in the State and U.S. totals beginning with the
1989-90 season. Production estimates shown for seasons prior to 1989-90 do not
include this new varietal tangerine. |

TEMPLES: Florida's temple forecast, at 3.10 million boxes, is more than double
last season's freeze reduced crop.

FLORIDA CITRUS: Most of the groves and trees in the State are in good shape due

to extensive irrigation in all areas. Rainfall during November
was below average throughout the citrus belt. There was little new growth be-
cause of shorter days and light rainfall. Harvesting early oranges for process-
ing increased intensity during November as most juice processing plants opened
to receive grove run fruit. All but late bloom, early, and midseason oranges are
passing maturity tests for both fresh and processed usage. Movement of all
grapefruit was active during November for all uses. Early tangerine harvest was
almost complete by the end of the month. Picking of tangelos increased with good
fruit and an excellent fresh demand. Caretakers were active cutting cover crops
and preparing young trees for the winter season. Few sprays and fertilizers were
being applied.

TEXAS CITRUS: Due to the severe freeze in December 1989, the 1990-91 Texas

citrus crops were virtually eliminated and forecasts will not be
issued this season unless sufficient commercial supplies become available.
Pushing out of dead orchards continues and éstimates of acreage lost are not
readily available. Remaining orchards are showing good development and, with a
mild winter, some fruit may set for the 1991-92 season. White and black flies
are causing some problems. Citrus growers would Tike to see more rainfal? going
into the winter months.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS AND NUTS: Orchard and vineyard post-harvest pruning, pulling,

. irrigating, and pre-plant fumigation were active
during November. The harvest of Granny Smith apples was completed during the
month. Harvesting of new crop Hass avocados has begun. Deglet Noor date harvest
in Riverside County was nearly complete by the end of the month. Table grape
harvest ended with Emperor, the last variety to be packed. Fuyu and Hachiya
persimmons, pomegranates, and kiwi harvests made good progress through the month.
Almond, pistachio, and walnut harvests were completed during the month while
pecan harvest was in full swing. New crop Navel orange picking continued to gain
momentum but slowed in some areas due to lack of maturity. Old crop Valencia
harvest neared completion while Desert lemon and grapefruit harvest progressed.

DECEMBER 1990 A-10 NASS, USDA


Weather during November was mostly unfavorable over major papaya producing
areas. Rainfall, at times heavy during the first three weeks, prompted growers
to intensify spray programs to control Phytophthora outbreaks. Still, serious
outbreaks were reported and growers removed some older affected trees to control
the disease.

Crop area totaled 3,495 acres in November, 1 percent less than October and
14 percent below November 1989. Area harvested, totaling 2,310 acres, was 3
percent higher than last month but 16 percent less than a year ago.

DRY EDIBLE BEANS: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 32.6 million

cwt, up 38 percent from last year and 70 percent above two
years ago. This year's output is just short of the record high production set
in 1981. Area for harvest is estimated at 2.12 million acres, up 28 percent from
last year and 56 percent above two years ago. The average yield is estimated at
1,542 pounds per acre, up 7 percent from last year and 8 percent above two years
ago. A good finish in Michigan, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New York, and
Wyoming boosted the average yield. Minnesota and North Dakota, coming out of a
drought, show productions wel] above the last two years.

Production of navy beans jumped 57 percent from last year because of record
yields in Michigan and increased acreage harvested in Minnesota and North Dakota.
Great northern beans returned to full production after a short crop last year in
Nebraska. Pinto bean production gained 43 percent over a year ago but was short
of the record output of 1981. Kidney beans were up 38 percent from last year.
Bumper crops in Michigan and New York more than doubled the crop of black turtle
soup beans. The output of pink and smal] red beans remained strong, although
both were below a year ago. The small white bean crop continues to get smaller.

PECANS: The December 1 forecast for the U.S. pecan crop is 216 million pounds
(in-sheli basis), 9 percent Tess than the October I forecast and 14
percent below last year's production.

The Georgia forecast is 70.0 million pounds, down 22 percent from the
October forecast and 18 percent below last season's production. Several factors
such as spring freezes, drought, disease, insects, and predators contributed to
this low production. Quality is good to excellent. Alabama's forecast is 6.00
million pounds, 25 percent under the October forecast and 73 percent below the
previous year's harvest. Late-season drought, heavy aphid pressure, foliage
disease, and being the down year in the alternate bearing cycle contributed to
this low production. California's production of 3.00 million pounds is unchanged
from October ] but 50 percent above Jast year. Quality and size are good. Har-
vest is about 70 percent complete. Florida's crop is expected to total 4.60
million pounds, 28 percent above the October forecast but 34 percent below last
season. Louisiana's forecast is 5.00 million pounds, unchanged from October, but
64 percent below 1989 production. Mississippi expects 4.00 million pounds, the
same as on October 1, but 53 percent below last season. This decrease was caused
mostly from freezes during December 1989 and April 1990. Quality is excellent.
New Mexico pecans are forecast at 31.0 million pounds, unchanged from October 1
but 7 percent above last year. Quality is good. Oklahoma's crop is forecast at
6.50 million pounds, the same as October's forecasts but 28 percent below last
season. Texas is forecasting 65.0 million pounds, unchanged from October but 18
percent above last year's production. Harvest is behind normal because of wet
conditions. Quatity problems are being encountered in many areas. The "Other
States" (Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee) forecast of 17.9 million
pounds remains unchanged from October but is 10 percent higher than last season.

HIGHLIGHTS

ALL COTTON production, as of December 1, is forecast at 15.4 million bales, up

3 percent from November and up 26 percent from 1989. Harvest proceeded with
little interruption during November. Yields and grades in the High Plains were
good to excellent and Louisiana's production is a record high level.

ORANGE production is forecast at 230 million boxes, virtually unchanged from

October 1 but 23 percent above last season. This significant increase is
due mostly to the sharp rebound in Florida production compared with last season's
freeze reduced crop.

GRAPEFRUIT production, including California's Desert grapefruit but excluding

California's "Other Areas" crop, is 55.1 million boxes, down 3 percent from
the November 1 forecast but 26 percent greater than last season. This large in-
crease is the result of last season's devastating freeze in the Florida citrus
belt causing significant fruit loss last year.

BURLEY TOBACCO production is forecast at 578 million pounds, 20 percent above a
year ago but 1 percent below last month's forecast. Yield and acreage are
both up from last year.

DRY EDIBLE BEANS production is estimated at 32.6 million cwt, up 38 percent

from last year and 70 percent above two years ago. Harvested acreage was
up 28 percent from last year while the average yield gained 7 percent. Record
yields in Michigan and New York coupled with record production in Nebraska helped
to produce a bumper crop. Increased acreage harvested in Minnesota and North
Dakota also helped.

ALL COTTON: The December 1 forecast of all cotton production is 15.4 million

bales, up 3 percent from the November 1 forecast and up 26 percent
from last year's production. Of the total, Upland is expected to account for
15.0 million bales while Pima production will be 386 thousand bales. Total area
for harvest is estimated at 11.5 million acres, up 21 percent from 1989. Yield
is expected to average 641 pounds per acre, 19 pounds above November and up 27
pounds from last year.

Upland cotton production in Texas and Oklahoma is forecast at 5.15 million
bales, 4 percent above November 1, and 69 percent above the 1989 production.
Cotton harvest made good progress in the Plains, although hampered during
November by rains, high humidity, and morning dew. Yields and grades in the High
Plains were reported good to excellent. By December 2, harvest was 73 percent
complete in Texas, compared with the average of 66 percent.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee)
expect to produce 4.95 million bales, 3 percent above the November 1 forecast and
up 23 percent from 1989. Good harvest weather allowed producers to continue
field work. Yields are higher than anticipated earlier in Arkansas, Mississippi,
and Missouri. Louisiana's production is a record high level. As of December 2,
the harvest in all of these States was virtually complete.

Production in the Western States (Arizona, California, and New Mexico) is
expected to total 3.68 million bales, up 3 percent from November 1 and up 9
percent from 1989. The yields in this region are expected to average 1,232
pounds per acre, 12 pounds above the 1989 yield.

The forecast in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
and South Carolina) puts production at 1.19 million bales, a 4 percent increase
from last month and 16 percent above the 1989 production. Yields in this region
are expected to average 519 pounds per acre, down 85 pounds from last year due
to dry conditions that prevailed during the season. Harvest continued almost
uninterrupted during the month.

Bureau of Census reports 12,436,067 running bales ginned prior to December
1, compared with 10,352,900 running bales for the same date last year and
11,698,470 running bales in 1988.

COTTONSEED: Production for 1990, based on a 3 year average lintseed ratio, is
expected to total 6.00 million tons, up 28 percent from the 1989
production of 4.68 million tons.

BURLEY TOBACCO: U.S. production of burley tobacco is forecast at 578 million

pounds, 20 percent above a year ago but 1 percent below the
November 1 forecast. Yield is expected to average 2197 pounds per acre, up 222
pounds from 1989. Area expected to be harvested is 8 percent above last year,
and 16 percent greater than 2 years ago.

Burley auction markets opened November 19. Gross sales for the first 11
sale days totaled 366 million pounds compared with 335 million pounds for the
first 11 sale days a year ago.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production is estimated at 5.50 million pounds in

November, 6 percent higher than October but 12 percent lower than
November a year ago. Year-to-date fresh sales trail the same 11-month period of
1989 by 7 percent.

NOVEMBER WEATHER SUMMARY

The typical storm track of November consisted of disturbances plunging
southeastward from the Pacific Northwest to the Central or Southern Plains, then
lifting northeastward to New England. Thus, coastal and mountain sections of the
Pacific Northwest wrung out more than ample moisture. As Gulf of Mexico moisture
worked into the storms east of the Rocky divide, much of the center third of the
Nation had above normal precipitation. The areas suffering most from long-term
drought conditions also experienced below norma] monthly precipitation. These
are: portions of the Southeast, the Northern Plains, and much of the West.
Virtually the entire Nation had above-average temperatures for the month.

ROW CROP HARVEST

Harvest weather was excellent for most of November. Lack of moisture and
warmer than normal temperatures over most of the Nation helped harvest to pro-
gress rapidly during the month. Rain the second week of the month slowed harvest
in the central and eastern Corn Belt. By the end of November, harvest progress
was ahead of normal in most areas.

Early in the month, corn harvest was 79% complete, 1 point behind normal.
Harvest was generally ahead of normal in the Plains States and Southeast with the
Texas harvest complete. Rains slowed harvest in the eastern Corn Belt. Michigan
harvest was 45% complete, 25 points behind normal. Ninety-seven percent of the
crop was harvested by the end of the month. Harvest progressed rapidly in the
eastern Corn Belt. Harvest progress in most Corn Belt states was at or above
normal.

By November 4, the soybean harvest was 84% complete, 4 points ahead of
normal. Harvest was complete in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. In mid-
November, the soybean harvest was 95% complete, 5 points ahead of normal. North
and South Carolina, at 58% and 47% respectively, were the only states below 80%
harvested, however both were ahead of average.

Cotton harvest was equal to or above normal in all major producing states
in early November. Harvest was 64% complete, 8 points ahead of normal. Exces-
sive moisture early in the month in Arkansas, caused some bo}1s to rot, resulting
in reduced yields and grade. By mid-November, cotton harvest was 78% complete,
9 points ahead of normal. By the end of the month, harvest was 88% complete, 6
points ahead of normal. Texas High Plains cotton harvest was hampered by high
humidity and heavy morning dew. Yields were good to excellent.

WINTER WHEAT PLANTING

By early November, 91% of the winter wheat crop was planted and 79% emerged,
both 1 point ahead of normal. Planting was complete in Colorado, Montana,
Nebraska, and South Dakota. Rain in the Central and Southern plains benefitted
wheat fields. Seeding in Arkansas was delayed due to late soybean harvest. In
mid-November the winter wheat crop was in mostly good condition with 90% of the
crop emerged, 1 point ahead of normal. Condition was mostly good in all states
except, Montana, Oregon, and South Dakota, where the crop was mostly fair. By
the end of November, 93% of the winter wheat crop was emerged and in mostly good
condition. In the panhandle of Nebraska, high gusty winds caused soil erosion
in some wheat fields. In California and Florida, small grain seeding was slowed
due to lack of moisture.

RELIABILITY OF DECEMBER 1 COTTON PRODUCTION FORECAST

The cotton production forecast in this report is based primarily on an
objective yield survey made during the last week in November and reports from
cotton ginners as of December 1. Some adjustments have been made in harvested
acres based on acreage data from ASCS. The objective yield survey provided smal]
plot observations, counts and measurements based on a probability sample. This
survey is subject to sampling and non-sampling errors that are common to all
surveys. The forecast is also subject to change due to future weather effects
and other factors that cannot be measured currently but directly affect
production.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December 1 cotton
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error”, a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviations
between the December 1 production forecasts and the final estimates as a percent
of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the
1970-89 twenty-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 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 December 1 cotton production forecast
is 1.8 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current produc~
tion forecast of 15.4 million bales will not be above or below the final estimate
by more than 1.8 percent or approximately 277 thousand bales. Chances are 9 out
of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 3.2 per-
cent or approximately 493 thousands bales.

Differences between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during
the past 10 years have averaged 219 thousand bales, ranging from 61 thousand to
479 thousand bales. The December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate
6 times and above 4 times.

MONTHLY MARKETINGS - UNITED STATES

U.S. monthly marketing percentages for wheat, oats, barley,
corn, sorghum, soybeans, flaxseed, sunflower, cotton, and
peanuts are based on the 12 months which are used for the
U.S. marketing year. These months are consistent with the
data used to weight U.S. marketing year average prices.
Marketings are based on monthly probability surveys which
obtain quantities of the crop purchased from producers and
price information. Purchases are not identified by crop
production year, but represent the commodity sold during the
12 months of the marketing year. Monthly marketings for hay
and dry edible beans are based on estimates derived from
State marketing years and thus may extend over a period
exceeding 12 months.

ORANGES: U.S. production is forecast at 230 million boxes, virtually unchanged

from the October 1 forecast but 23 percent above last season. The
forecast of all oranges in Florida is 165 million boxes, unchanged from
October 1 but 50 percent greater than last season's freeze damaged crop and 13
percent above 1988-89. The forecast for early and mid-season varieties in
Florida is 95.0 million boxes, 40 percent greater than last season and 11 percent
above the 1988-89 crop. Harvest of Florida early and mid-season oranges was
about 31 percent complete as of December 1. The Valencia forecast, at 70.0 mil-
lion boxes, is 66 percent greater than last season and 14 percent above the 1988-
89 crop.

The California all orange crop forecast, at 63.0 million boxes, is 2 percent
below October 1 and 14 percent less than last season. The forecast for Navel
oranges is 40.0 million boxes, unchanged from October but 9 percent less than
last season. Harvest of the Navel crop as of December 1 was about 8 percent
complete. The California Valencia forecast of 23.0 million boxes is down 4 per-
cent from the October 1 forecast and 21 percent below last season's production.

Arizona's all orange forecast, which was carried forward from October 1, is
expected to total 1.75 million boxes, 11 percent greater than last season's
production.

Due to the severe freeze of December 1989, the 1990-91 Texas orange crop is
virtually eliminated and forecasts will not be issued this season unless
sufficient commercial supplies become available.

Changes in U.S. production between December 1 and final production have
averaged 20.8 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from 1.68 million
boxes in 1982-83 to 53.1 million boxes in 1983-84. The freeze that occurred in
Florida and Texas during December 1983 was the major cause for the 53.1 million
box difference between December 1, 1983 and final production for the 1983-84
season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1990-91 forecast of all Frozen

Concentrated Orange Juice (FCOJ) for
Florida is 1.50 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix. The forecast projects the
final yield as reported by the Florida Citrus Processors Association. The freeze
damaged 1989-90 yield for all fruit used in FCOJ was 1.23 gallons per box at 42.0
degrees Brix.

GRAPEFRUIT: Prospects as of December 1 for the 1990-91 season indicate a crop

of 55.1 million boxes, 3 percent below the November 1 forecast, but
26 percent above last season's production. This forecast includes California's
"Desert" grapefruit but excludes California's “Other Areas" grapefruit. The
California's “Other Areas" grapefruit crop accounted for 5.00 million boxes
harvested last season and 4.50 million boxes in 1988-89. The first forecast for
that area will be as of April 1, 1991. Due to the severe freeze of December
1989, the 1990-91 Texas grapefruit crop is virtually eliminated. Forecasts will
not be issued this season unless sufficient commercial supplies become available.

Florida's grapefruit forecast is 49.0 million boxes, 3 percent less than the
October 1 forecast but 37 percent more than the freeze damaged 1989-90 crop. The
Florida white seedless grapefruit forecast is 24.0 million boxes, 4 percent below
the October 1 forecast but 33 percent above the previous season; colored seedless
jis 23.5 million boxes, 2 percent less than October 1 but 44 percent greater than
the 1989-90 crop; and seeded grapefruit at 1.50 million boxes is unchanged from
October 1 but 7 percent above last season.
