TANGELOS: Florida crop forecast 3.70 million boxes (152 thousand metric tons),
~~~" unchanged from last month, 3 percent below 1982-83 season. Harvest
as of March 1 was 98 percent complete.

FLORIDA GENERAL CITRUS: Citrus groves in Florida enjoyed spring-like weather
OO through most of February. Warm days and mild nights
Produced an abundance of new growth on non-freeze damaged trees of all ages.
By the end of this past month, many of those trees severely damaged by the
late December freeze had shown very little, if any, new growth. Where the
freeze damage extends into the main trunk and older hard wood, there is
generally no new growth. Bloom buds and some open bloom were reported on the
undamaged trees located on lower east coast and lower interior of citrus
belt. Soil moisture has been very good during February. Harvest of early and
mid-season oranges was very active during first half of February, then slowed
toward end of month. Most of freeze-damaged Valencia oranges from upper
interior and west coast have been moved to processing plants. Picking of
grapefruit increased with available labor as orange harvest decreased.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production in March forecast at 3.90 million
~~~" pounds (1770 metric tons), a 17 percent drop from February, but 77
percent above drought-depressed leve) of a year ago. Production expected to
rise sharply in April to 5.15 million pounds (2340 metric tons) before
declining in May and June to 4.75 and 4.40 million pounds (2150 and 2000
metric tons), respectively. These forecasts have been revised upward from
earlier projections ta account for orchards on island of Kauai which are
reaching harvest within eight months of planting compared with the industry
average of one year.

February production is estimated at 4.70 million pounds (2130 metric
tons), an increase of 1 percent from previous’ month and 67 percent greater
than previous year. In February, area in crop decreased fractionally from
Previous month to 3660 acres (1480 hectares), ending six consecutive months of
record high acreage. Area harvested totaled 2405 acres (970 hectares), a 3
percent increase from January and 18 percent above last year.

POTATOES: Winter production forecast at 2.86 million cwt (130 thousand metric

tons}, up 31 percent from last year and 26 percent above 1982.
March 1 forecast reflects better yields than earlier anticipated in both
Florida and California.

Florida harvest full swing, should peak mid-March. Yields improved,
prospects good for tater diggings. Harvest in California completed most areas.

Spring potato plantings estimated at 82.7 thousand acres (33.5 thousand
hectares up 4 percent from last year, 5 percent above 1982. Area expected
for harvest 81.0 thousand acres (32.8 thousand hectares), up 5 percent from
last year, 4 percent above 1982. Planting and growing conditions are better
than last year.

California planting virtually complete in Kern District under excellent
planting and growing weather. Arizona acreage down slightly from last year.
Planting nearly finished.

Florida planted acreage up 11 percent from last year. Early planting fair
to good, some wind damage Hastings area. Some planting yet to be done in
western Panhandle. Harvest to start in early fields during late March and
early April and will gain momentum during late April. Alabama planting about
half completed, with increased acreage expected in Baldwin County area.

In Louisiana and North Carolina, excessive moisture delaying planting.
Most planting completed in Rio Grande Valley of Texas and the San
Antonio-Winter Garden area. Potato fields look good, growing normally.
Harvest expected to start on normal schedule. Planting in full swing
Knox-Haskell area under good conditions.

FEBRUARY WEATHER SUMMARY

Unseasonably mild weather generally continued over the northern Plains
and spread southward into the central Plains and eastward to the Atlantic
seaboard. However, two major cold outbreaks covered the eastern half of the
Nation for several days during the first and fourth weeks of the month.
Abnormal wetness stretched from the mid-Appalachians into New England, and
over the western Great Lakes Region, south-central Florida, northeast Texas,
and from Missouri to Oregon. The major winter storm at the end of the month
dumped considerable snow from the centra? Plains to the Appalachians, and
northward to the Great Lakes and New England. Drier than usual weather
continued over the Southwest and extended into the central High Plains of West

rn Nebraska, and the northwestern Great Plains. repare
NOAA OSHA GO veE Rar icereccad westher Faciitey,) s P y

WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat was in mostly fair condition in Texas, fair to good in rest
of Nation at beginning of March. Unseasonably mild temperatures left wheat
fields across Great Plains with limited or no protective snow cover for much
of February. Several snow storms halted topdressing of stands during month
but provided beneficial moisture from central Plains through Corn Belt. Ory
conditions persisted on Texas Plains and in West Texas, limiting early spring
growth. 8y end of February, wheatlands were greening as far north as Kansas
and southern Indiana. Topdressing was limited by wet conditions throughout
month in Southeast.

Kansas wheat fields were left unprotected from weather changes as snow
cover was mostly melted early in month. Producers actively applied fertilizer
as field conditions permitted. Stands were rated fair to mostly good as mild
temperatures caused crop to break dormancy as month ended. Topsoil moisture
was adequate. Wheat in Oklahoma came out of dormancy early in month. Warm
weather and generally adequate moisture promoted good growth. Stands were in
mostly good condition but some fields plagued by weeds. Cattle producers *
began moving herds onto’ wheat pastures late in month. Texas wheat was rated
mostly fair. Irrigated stands were in good condition on Texas Plains, and
dryland fields were beginning to green up as month ended. Additional moisture
was needed on Texas Plains and in Centra? and South Texas. Drying winds
further depleted soil moisture late in February. Northern Plains wheatlands
were in good condition despite poor snow cover for much of month. Wind damage
was light.

FEBRUARY FIELDWORK

Heavy snow at midmonth and again at month's end halted fertilizing of
small grains and land preparation across much of Corn Belt. Above normal
temperatures during February melted snow cover across North, stimulated early
spring growth of crops and pastures in South. Widespread precipitation
continually delayed early planting in Southeast. However, corn planting was
underway across extreme South from Texas to Florida by end of month. Progress
ranged from just starting in Georgia to 2% complete in Texas. Southern Texas
sorghum growers had planted 2% of crop by last week in February. Land
Preparation and preplant irrigation of cotton fields progressed rapidly in
California and Southwest.

Tobacco growers prepared and seeded plantheds across South. However, wet
conditions delayed transplanting in Florida. Pantbeds were in fair to mostly

good condition in Southeast. Northern produ-ers pruned, applied dormant
sprays to deciduous fruit orchards when conditiins permitted. Warm weather
Pushed peach development as much as 1 month ahevd of schedule in Southeast.

Producers were concerned about possible damage it colder weather returned to
region. Vegetable harvesting, spring planting was active in Florida, Texas,
Arizona, California.
