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.

production from 1992. Harvest in California made excellent progress during
November with mostly favorable weather. Only a few isolated fields remained to
be harvested as of December 1. Texas’ harvest and ginnings progressed with
minimal delay during November.

All cotton ginnings totaled 13,224,960 running bales prior to December 1,
compared with 12,596,550 running bales ginned to the same date last year and
13,259,650 running bales in 1991.

Burley Tobacco: U.S. burley production is forecast at 641 million pounds.
slightly higher than the November 1 forecast but 11 percent
below 1992. Decreased acreage and lower yields were the contributing factors.

Poundage quotas for 1993 were reduced by 10 percent. which contributed to
reduced acres set for harvest. Dry summer weather in the southeastern part of
the U.S. had an adverse effect on yields.

Papayas: Fresh papaya production from Hawaii is forecast at 6.02 million

pounds for November, 21 percent more than October and 15 percent more
than November 1992. Year-to-date fresh sales were 3 percent ahead of the same
eleven-month period a year ago.

Weather conditions were variable in November. Heavy showers occurred in the
second and fourth weeks. which maintained adequate soil moisture in the major
Papaya production areas. Papaya ringspot virus continued to be of concern to
farmers in previously unaffected areas of the Puna district, where greater than
90 percent of papayas are grown. The virus continued to appear in previously
unaffected areas and farmers were advised to destroy infected plants.

Area devoted to papaya production is estimated at 3,430 acres, virtually
unchanged from October but 7 percent lower than a year ago. Harvested area,
totaling 2.535 acres, was 1 percent higher than last month but 5 percent lower
than last November.

Ory Edible Beans: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 21.7 million
cwt for 1993, down 4 percent from a year earlier and

36 percent below two years ago. The December estimate is 3 percent smaller

than the November forecast. This is the smallest dry bean crop since 1988.

Area for harvest is estimated at 1.59 million acres, up 4 percent from 1992 but

17 percent below 1991. The average yield, at 1.366 pounds per acre, dropped

112 pounds from last year and 398 pounds below the record high crop of 1991.

Production is down sharply in North Central and Plains States. Heavy rains and
flooding wiped out thousands of acres of dry beans across North Dakota,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Harvest waS generally late with low yields and heavy
pickout. Hail damage and frost stopped fields short in Colorado. Kansas,
Wyoming, and Nebraska. Michigan produced a fine dry bean crop, regaining the
production leadership among States. New York and most Western States produced
more than they did last year.

Pinto bean production fell 12 percent from a year earlier because of cool
growing weather, rains, hail, and early frost damage in the principle growing
States. Great Northern beans also dropped off sharply. particularly in
Nebraska. Limas in California and small white beans continued their downward
trend.

Navy beans shifted from North Dakota and Minnesota to Michigan in the wake of
weather problems but maintained a 2 percent gain over last year. The kidney

i Farm-to-Farm Sales of Corn for Grain

| The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducted a survey of just under
20,000 corn for grain producers to determine the number with farm-to-farm sales
from 1992 corn produced. These sales could have been direct to other farms,
feediots, dairies, poultry operations. or any other producer, but not directly
to an elevator or commercial storage facility. The survey was conducted to
determine if farm-to-farm sales were a significant channel used by producers to
market their corn. Currently, farm-to-farm sales, as well as seed sales, are not
reflected in the NASS prices received estimates for grains.

The survey indicated 8 percent of corn for grain producers had sold. or intended
to sell, corn for grain directly to other producers. An additional 7 percent
were uncertain of their plans to sell directly to other farmers, and the
remaining 85 percent had no plans to market corn directly to other producers.

harvest prospects. Rain over the cotton producing areas throughout the month
caused harvest delays. However, progress remained ahead of average. and by the
end of the month the harvest was virtually completed in all areas except for a
portion of northern Texas.

Winter wheat seeding was completed on time by the first-half of November.
Winter wheat emergence was also near average for the month, with emergence
slightly behind average in the Northwest. Snow across the Northwest and the
upper Great Plains the end of November gave the emerged wheat an adequate
cover, Nationally, winter wheat condition rated 69 percent good to excellent
at the end of the month. Citrus harvest was active in Arizona, California,
and Florida. Rain during the middle of November slowed the Arizona and
California harvests. Dry conditions across Florida prompted some growers to
irrigate their citrus groves.

Winter Wheat Plantings: Seeding progress reached 94 percent completion in the

19 major producing States as of November 7. This
equaled average progress and was 2 points ahead of last year. Emergence was
93 percent as of November 28, just a point behind average. Seeding continued
in Arizona, California, the Southeast, and parts of Texas. Cold weather
curtailed emergence in the Northwest and pushed the crop into dormancy across
much of Kansas.

Cotton: Upland cotton harvested acreage, at 12.9 million acres, is up

19 percent from last year and American-Pima harvested acreage, at
192,000 acres, is 26 percent below 1992.

In Texas, acreage continued to be abandoned where yields failed to justify
harvest, especially in the Low Plains. The December acreage for harvest is
estimated at 5.25 million acres, down 100.000 acres from November. Generally.
favorable weather allowed harvest to proceed at a fast pace and at the end of
November, 83 percent of Texas’ crop was harvested, 17 percent ahead of average.
[Gotton objective yield data indicate Texas’ crop has the second lowest boll
\weights when compared to the previous 10 year’s weights.

\

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee)
lagged slightly behind normal harvest pace during the season. By the end of
jNovember, Arkansas’ harvest was 96 percent complete, 2 percent less than the

5 year average. Missouri producers had harvested 98 percent of the acreage.

| percent behind normal. Other States equalled or exceeded the usual
‘harvesting pace. Data from objective yield surveys show boll weights are the
lowest since 1983 in Louisiana, and the next to lowest weights for Arkansas and
Mississippi during this same period.

Arizona's harvest was 95 percent complete at the end of November, 5 points
lahead of normal. California, at 99 percent harvested. equalled their average
|pace. November 1 cotton objective yield counts show Arizona boll weights are
third lowest since 1983, and California’s bolls are second lowest during the
‘past 10 years.

‘In al? Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina). harvest progress exceeded the 5-year average pace. Yields averaged
150 pounds below 1992 yields.

American-Pima production is forecast at 387.000 bales, down 24 percent from
1992’s output and down 5,000 bales from the November forecast. Yield is
dindicated at 968 pounds per harvested acre. up 30 pounds from last year.
Arizona is the only State showing a higher yield than last year, which was
adversely affected by weather and whitefly, but al] States show decreased

November Weather Summary: Cold outbreaks headlined early and late-month

weather news, but in between, an assortment of
storms soaked areas from the Ozark Plateau to the Northeast. The storm
associated with the late-month Thanksgiving week arctic outbreak was
responsible for record-setting snowfalls in the Dakotas, while a compact but
intense storm generated heavy precipitation at mid-month in the Southwest.
However, storms largely bypassed the Northwestern and South Central United
States resulting in much-below-normal precipitation.

Early-November temperatures dipped to the freezing mark as far south as the
lower Rio Grande Valley, the Mississippi Delta, and northern Florida.
Temperatures quickly returned to seasonal levels. however, as sub-tropical
moisture crept northward in advance of a series of eastern Pacific storm
systems. By mid-month, a wet pattern became established in an arc from the
central Gulf coast into the Ohio Valley, as moisture funneled northward into a
succession of fast-moving storms.

During the last 10 days of the month. an arctic airmass and an accompanying
storm system Slowly and systematically unleashed their collective fury on much
of the Nation. The weather complex first punched into the Northwest with snow.
followed by severe cold (temperatures as low as -5 degrees F in winter wheat
areas). Snow also blanketed winter wheat areas of the northern Plains before
temperatures plummeted to as Tow as -20 degrees F. The arctic blast was
tempered by the time it reached the Hard Red Winter Wheat Belt, where in the
absence of snow cover, extreme minimum temperatures dipped only as low as the
single digits.

Snowfall in the Dakotas reached record levels during Thanksgiving week.
Bismarck, ND, set a single-storm snowfal] record (28.3 inches), while Aberdeen,
SD. broke a monthly snowfall record (30.1 inches). largely on the strength of
the late-month storm. By the time the storm reached the Eastern Seaboard, its
precipitation was in the form of rain, but as much as 8 inches inundated
portions of the Middle Atlantic piedmont during the last weekend of the month.
Arctic high pressure in the storm’s wake was strong enough to set November
barometric records in several locations, including Wilmington, DE (30.76 inches
of mercury, adjusted to sea level) and Bridgeport, CT (30.77 inches).

General Crop Comments: Harvest of the major crops was completed. Rainfall

for November was greater than normal over many parts of
the Nation and temperatures were mostly below normal. The corn harvest was
behind average in early November but relatively dry conditions the first-half
of the month allowed progress to exceed the average by mid-month. Wetter
conditions the second-half of November caused some delays especially in the
Eastern Corn Belt, but by the end of the month the corn harvest was virtually
completed. The progress of the soybean harvest at the beginning of November
equalled last year and average. The mostly favorable conditions early in the
month allowed the harvest to progress at the same pace as average. By the
middle of the month, the harvest was virtually completed in al] areas with the
exception of scattered fields in the Ohio Valley and in the Southeast. Wet
conditions hindered harvest progress in the Ohio Valley during the later part
of November and caused delays in the Southeast the last part of the month. By
the end of November, a few fields remained for harvest in the Ohio Valley and
progress in the Southeast was behind last year and average.

Progress of the sorghum harvest was behind normal at the beginning of November.
Cool and dry conditions over the Great Plains allowed the harvest to advance
rapidly. By mid-month, the harvest was completed except in Colorado. Oklahoma.
and New Mexico. where wet conditions or a late developing crop slowed progress.
By the end of the month, harvest progress in these 3 States pushed toward
completion. The cotton harvest was ahead of last year and average in early
November. A freeze at the beginning of the month in northern Texas enhanced

harvest prospects. Rain over the cotton producing areas throughout the month
caused harvest delays. However, progress remained ahead of average. and by the
end of the month the harvest was virtually completed in all areas except for a
portion of northern Texas.

|

Winter wheat Seeding was completed on time by the first-half of November.
Winter wheat emergence was also near average for the month, with emergence
Slightly behind average in the Northwest. Snow across the Northwest and the
upper Great Plains the end of November gave the emerged wheat an adequate
cover. Nationally, winter wheat condition rated 69 percent good to excellent
at the end of the month. Citrus harvest was active in Arizona, California,
and Florida. Rain during the middle of November slowed the Arizona and
California harvests. Dry conditions across Florida prompted some growers to
irrigate their citrus groves.

)

Winter Wheat Plantings: Seeding progress reached 94 percent completion in the

19 major producing States as of November 7. This
equaled average progress and was 2 points ahead of last year. Emergence was
93 percent as of November 28, just a point behind average. Seeding continued
in Arizona, California, the Southeast. and parts of Texas. Cold weather
curtailed emergence in the Northwest and pushed the crop into dormancy across
much of Kansas.

Cotton: Upland cotton harvested acreage, at 12.9 million acres, is up
19 percent from last year and American-Pima harvested acreage, at
192,000 acres, is 26 percent below 1992.

In Texas, acreage continued to be abandoned where yields failed to justify
harvest, especially in the Low Plains. The December acreage for harvest is
estimated at 5.25 million acres, down 100.000 acres from November. Generally.
favorable weather allowed harvest to proceed at a fast pace and at the end of
November. 83 percent of Texas’ crop was harvested, 17 percent ahead of average.
Cotton objective yield data indicate Texas’ crop has the second lowest boll
weights when compared to the previous 10 year’s weights.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee)
lagged slightly behind normal harvest pace during the season. By the end of
November, Arkansas’ harvest was 96 percent complete. 2 percent less than the

5 year average. Missouri producers had harvested 98 percent of the acreage,

1 percent behind normal. Other States equalled or exceeded the usual
harvesting pace. Data from objective yield surveys show bol] weights are the
ljowest since 1983 in Louisiana, and the next to lowest weights for Arkansas and
Mississippi during this same period.

Arizona's harvest was 95 percent complete at the end of November, 5 points
ahead of normal. California, at 99 percent harvested, equalled their average
pace. November 1 cotton objective yield counts show Arizona boll weights are
third lowest since 1983, and California’s bolls are second lowest during the
past 10 years.

th all Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina. and South
Carolina), harvest progress exceeded the 5-year average pace. Yields averaged
150 pounds below 1992 yields.

1

American-Pima production is forecast at 387.000 bales, down 24 percent from
1992's output and down 5,000 bales from the November forecast. Yield is
indicated at 968 pounds per harvested acre. up 30 pounds from last year.

Arizona is the only State showing a higher yield than last year, which was
adversely affected by weather and whitefly, but all States show decreased

November Weather Summary: Cold outbreaks headlined early and late-month

weather news, but in between. an assortment of
storms soaked areas from the Ozark Plateau to the Northeast. The storm
associated with the Jate-month Thanksgiving week arctic outbreak was
responsible for record-setting snowfalls in the Dakotas, while a compact but
intense storm generated heavy precipitation at mid-month in the Southwest.
However, storms largely bypassed the Northwestern and South Central United
States resulting in much-below-normal precipitation.

Early-November temperatures dipped to the freezing mark as far south as the
lower Rio Grande Valley, the Mississippi Delta, and northern Florida.
Temperatures quickly returned to seasonal levels, however, as sub-tropical
moisture crept northward in advance of a series of eastern Pacific storm
systems. By mid-month, a wet pattern became established in an arc from the
central Gulf coast into the Ohio Valley, as moisture funneled northward into a
succession of fast-moving storms.

During the last 10 days of the month, an arctic airmass and an accompanying
storm system slowly and systematically unleashed their collective fury on much
of the Nation. The weather complex first punched into the Northwest with snow,
followed by severe cold (temperatures as low as -5 degrees F in winter wheat
areas). Snow also blanketed winter wheat areas of the northern Plains before
temperatures plummeted to as low as -20 degrees F. The arctic blast was
tempered by the time it reached the Hard Red Winter Wheat Belt. where in the
absence of snow cover, extreme minimum temperatures dipped only as low as the
single digits.

Snowfall in the Dakotas reached record levels during Thanksgiving week.
Bismarck, ND, set a single-storm snowfall record (28.3 inches), while Aberdeen,
$0, broke a monthly snowfall record (30.1 inches), largely on the strength of
the late-month storm. By the time the storm reached the Eastern Seaboard, its
precipitation was in the form of rain, but as much as 8 inches inundated
portions of the Middle Atlantic piedmont during the last weekend of the month.
Arctic high pressure in the storm's wake was strong enough to set November
barometric records in several locations, including Wilmington, DE (30.76 inches
of mercury, adjusted to sea level) and Bridgeport, CT (30.77 inches).

General Crop Comments: Harvest of the major crops was completed. Rainfall

for November was greater than normal over many parts of
the Nation and temperatures were mostly below normal. The corn harvest was
behind average in early November but relatively dry conditions the first-half
of the month allowed progress to exceed the average by mid-month. Wetter
conditions the second-half of November caused some delays especially in the
Eastern Corn Belt, but by the end of the month the corn harvest was virtually
completed. The progress of the soybean harvest at the beginning of November
equalled last year and average. The mostly favorable conditions early in the
month allowed the harvest to progress at the same pace as average. By the
middle of the month, the harvest was virtually completed in all areas with the
exception of scattered fields in the Ohio Valley and in the Southeast. Wet
conditions hindered harvest progress in the Ohio Valley during the later part
of November and caused delays in the Southeast the last part of the month. By
the end of November, a few fields remained for harvest in the Ohio Valley and
progress in the Southeast was behind last year and average.

Progress of the sorghum harvest was behind normal at the beginning of November.
Cool and dry conditions over the Great Plains allowed the harvest to advance
rapidly. By mid-month, the harvest was completed except in Colorado, Oklahoma,
and New Mexico, where wet conditions or a late developing crop slowed progress.
By the end of the month, harvest progress in these 3 States pushed toward
completion. The cotton harvest was ahead of last year and average in early
November. A freeze at the beginning of the month in northern Texas enhanced

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.

Reliability of December 1 Crop Production Forecasts

Survey Procedures: Objective yield surveys were conducted to gather
information on expected yield as of December 1. The
objective yield survey for cotton was conducted in the major producing States
that normally account for at least 80 percent of the U.S. production. Randomly
selected fields and plots within fields are surveyed each month. At crop
maturity the fruit is harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has

harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year
harvesting loss.

\

| Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield survey

estimates were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and

consistency with historical estimates. In addition, reports from cotton
ginners in each State were considered. Each State Statistical Office submits

| their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board

| (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the

} published December 1 forecast.

|

i

|

|

|

|

|

Revision Policy: The December 1 cotton production forecast will not be

revised: instead, a new forecast will be made in January
followed by end-of-season estimates. At the end of the marketing year,
administrative records are reviewed and revisions are made. if data
relationships warrant changes. Harvested acres may be revised at any time a
production forecast is made, if there is strong evidence that the intended
harvested area has changed since the last estimate. For cotton, adjustments
are usually made based on acreage data obtained from ASCS.

Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December 1
production forecasts, the “Root Mean Square Error," a statistical

measure based on past performance. is computed. The deviation between the
December 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a
percentage of the final estimate. The average of squared percentage deviations
for the 20-year (1973-1992) period is computed; then 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 December 1 cotton production forecast is
1.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current

' production forecast of 16.3 million bales will not be above or below the final
j estimate by more than 1.9 percent or approximately 309,400 thousand bales.
Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will
| not exceed 3.2 percent or approximately 521,000 million bales.

'Changes between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during the past
, 10 years have averaged 233,000 bales, ranging from 40,000 to 479,000 bales.
The December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 5 times and above
:5 times. The difference does not imply that the December 1 cotton forecast
this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.

Reteased on December 9, 1993, by the Agricultural Statistics Board. Forecasts
refer to December 1, 1993.

Cotton Production Down Slightly

All cotton production, at 16.3 million bales. is down slightly from November's
forecast and 65.000 bales above the 1992 output. Arkansas’ production decreased
100.000 bales from November but the forecast for California increased

95,000 bales from last month. Ideal harvesting weather with very little rain in
the San Joaquin Valley during November allowed California to essentially
complete harvest by December 1.

All orange production is forecast 10.3 million tons, up slightly from last month
but 6 percent below last season. Florida's production is 172 million boxes
(7.74 million tons). unchanged from October but 8 percent below last season.
Early and mid-season varieties are expected to produce 108 million boxes

(4.86 million tons). unchanged from October but 6 percent less than last season.
The Florida Valencia forecast is 64.0 million boxes (2.88 million tons),
unchanged from October but 11 percent below a year ago. California’s all orange
production is forecast at 66.0 million boxes (2.48 million tons). up 2 percent
from October but down 1 percent from tast season. The Navel orange forecast
remained at 38.0 million boxes (1.43 million tons), 13 percent less than Tast
year. The Valencia forecast is 28.0 million boxes (1.05 million tons) up

4 percent from October and up 22 percent from last year’s revised production.

Florida frozen concentrated juice yield for the 1993-94 season is forecast at
1.55 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, unchanged from the October 1
forecast. The forecast is projected to estimate the final yield as reported by
the Florida Citrus Processors Association. The final 1992-93 yield for all
fruit used in frozen concentrate orange juice was a record high 1.58 gallons per
box at 42.0 Brix.

Index and report features are located at the end of this report. For

18 percent less than the previous forecast. The decrease in production was
caused by freezes in October and November which caused the hull to adhere to
the nut shell. Some of the damaged crop may be salvaged but quality is
expected to be lower. New Mexico's pecan production is forecast at

36.0 million pounds. 6 percent more than October. Quality is not as good as
growers expected earlier in the season.

Alabama's forecast has been reduced to 27.0 million pounds, 10 percent less
than the last forecast. Poor nut fill and blight damage have contributed to a
lower quality crop. Some shellers are not purchasing low quality pecans. The
Arkansas forecast is unchanged at 2.00 million pounds. Excessive rainfall
during the fall reduced the crop for some growers. The California forecast is
unchanged at 3.50 million pounds. Harvest is active with good quality
reported. The Florida forecast is 6.00 million pounds, down 14 percent from
October. Harvest conditions have been good but there was considerable loss
from premature nut drop.

The Kansas pecan production is forecast to be 1.80 million pounds, down

28 percent from the previous forecast. Harvest is progressing slowly and many
pecans may not be harvested due to low prices. Louisiana's pecan forecast is
unchanged at 24.0 million pounds. Weather conditions have aided harvest this
fall. The Mississippi forecast also remains unchanged at 8.00 million pounds.
Conditions have been extremely variable across the State with some growers
having poor crops. while others have enjoyed good yields. Oklahoma's pecan
crop is forecast to only reach 15.0 million pounds, down 40 percent from
October. Freezing weather in late October severely damaged the crop. Low
prices may also cause some growers not to harvest acreage. The South Carolina
forecast has been lowered to 4.00 million pounds, down 11 percent from October.
Dry conditions caused premature nut drop and some nuts not to fill.

Florida Citrus: Groves, trees. and fruit remain in good condition. Rainfall
has been below normal in all areas of the citrus belt except
the lower East Coast, where several groves received excessive rain. In dry
areas, growers used low volume irrigation to maintain good tree condition.
There is good natural color for early types of fruit. Drop is normal for the
majority of the citrus belt. New growth slowed due to reduced sunlight and
cool night temperatures. Caretakers were actively cutting cover crops.
Growers also banked young trees with dirt and placed heaters in cold areas.

California Fruit and Nuts: Harvest ended by early November for many noncitrus

crops such as table and wine grapes. olives, and
pistachios. Walnuts, kiwifruit. pecans. dates, and avocados were picked
throughout the month. Navel orange harvest began in the Central Valley but was
slow due to variable maturity. Picking of lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines
continued. Cold night temperatures in the Central Valley in late November
enhanced external citrus fruit color. Hail damage from a mid-November storm in
Tulare county was evident in some citrus lots.

Texas Citrus: Harvest continued in the Rio Grande Valley at a rapid pace
during November. Cooler temperatures actually benefitted the
Maturity of the crop. Quality and appearance remain good.

Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at

30.5 million tons, 1 percent more than last year and virtually
unchanged from the November 1 forecast. The increase is due to larger crops in
all States except Hawaii. Weather conditions in Hawaii varied throughout sugar
producing areas.

This year’s production of sugarcane for sugar, at 29.0 million tons is
virtually unchanged from a year ago.

production from 1992. Harvest in California made excellent progress during
November with mostly favorable weather. Only a few isolated fields remained to
be harvested as of December 1. Texas’ harvest and ginnings progressed with
minimal delay during November.

All cotton ginnings totaled 13,224,960 running bales prior to December 1,
compared with 12,596,550 running bales ginned to the same date last year and
13,259,650 running bales in 1991.

Burley Tobacco: U.S. burley production is forecast at 641 million pounds.
slightly higher than the November 1 forecast but 11 percent
below 1992. Decreased acreage and lower yields were the contributing factors.

Poundage quotas for 1993 were reduced by 10 percent, which contributed to
reduced acres set for harvest. Dry summer weather in the southeastern part of
the U.S. had an adverse effect on yields.

Papayas: Fresh papaya production from Hawaii is forecast at 6.02 million

pounds for November, 21 percent more than October and 15 percent more
than November 1992. Year-to-date fresh sales were 3 percent ahead of the same
eleven-month period a year ago.

weather conditions were variable in November. Heavy showers occurred in the
second and fourth weeks, which maintained adequate soil moisture in the major
Papaya production areas. Papaya ringspot virus continued to be of concern to
farmers in previously unaffected areas of the Puna district, where greater than
90 percent of papayas are grown. The virus continued to appear in previously
unaffected areas and farmers were advised to destroy infected plants.

Area devoted to papaya production is estimated at 3,430 acres, virtually
unchanged from October but 7 percent lower than a year ago. Harvested area,
totaling 2,535 acres, was 1 percent higher than Jast month but 5 percent lower
than last November.

Dry Edible Beans: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 21.7 million
cwt for 1993, down 4 percent from a year earlier and

36 percent below two years ago. The December estimate is 3 percent smaller

than the November forecast. This is the smallest dry bean crop since 1988.

Area for harvest is estimated at 1.59 million acres, up 4 percent from 1992 but

17 percent below 1991. The average yield, at 1,366 pounds per acre. dropped

112 pounds from last year and 398 pounds below the record high crop of 1991.

Production is down sharply in North Central and Plains States. Heavy rains and
flooding wiped out thousands of acres of dry beans across North Dakota,
Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Harvest was generally late with low yields and heavy
pickout. Hail damage and frost stopped fields short in Colorado, Kansas,
wyoming, and Nebraska. Michigan produced a fine dry bean crop, regaining the
production leadership among States. New York and most Western States produced
more than they did last year.

Pinto bean production fell 12 percent from a year earlier because of cool
growing weather, rains, hail, and early frost damage in the principle growing
States. Great Northern beans also dropped off sharply. particularly in
Nebraska. Limas in California and small white beans continued their downward
trend.

Navy beans shifted from North Oakota and Minnesota to Michigan in the wake of
weather problems but maintained a 2 percent gain over last year. The kidney

Reliability of December 1 Crop Production Forecasts

Survey Procedures: Objective yield surveys were conducted to gather
information on expected yield as of December 1. The
‘objective yield survey for cotton was conducted in the major producing States
! that normally account for at least 80 percent of the U.S. production. Randomly
| selected fields and plots within fields are surveyed each month. At crop
maturity the fruit is harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has
harvested the sample field. another plot is sampled to obtain current year
harvesting loss.

Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield survey

estimates were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and
consistency with historical estimates. In addition, reports from cotton
ginners in each State were considered. Each State Statistical Office submits
their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board
(ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the
published Qecember 1 forecast.

Revision Policy: The December 1 cotton production forecast will not be

revised; instead, a new forecast will be made in January
followed by end-of-season estimates. At the end of the marketing year,
administrative records are reviewed and revisions are made. if data
relationships warrant changes. Harvested acres may be revised at any time a
production forecast is made. if there is strong evidence that the intended
harvested area has changed since the last estimate. For cotton, adjustments
are usually made based on acreage data obtained from ASCS.

Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December 1
production forecasts, the “Root Mean Square Error," a statistical
measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the
\December 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a
jpercentage of the final estimate. The average of squared percentage deviations
for the 20-year (1973-1992) period is computed; then 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
Jrelative to the final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting
Ithis year’s forecast are not different from those influencing recent years.

ithe “Root Mean Square Error” for the December 1 cotton production forecast is
1.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current
Production forecast of 16.3 million bales witl not be above or below the final
estimate by more than 1.9 percent or approximately 309,400 thousand bales.
Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will
not exceed 3.2 percent or approximately 521.000 million bales.

Changes between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during the past
10 years have averaged 233,000 bales, ranging from 40,000 to 479,000 bales.
he December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 5 times and above

5 times. The difference does not imply that the December 1 cotton forecast
this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.

Farm-to-Farm Sales of Corn for Grain

jThe National Agricultural Statistics Service conducted a survey of just under
20,000 corn for grain producers to determine the number with farm-to-farm sales
ifrom 1992 corn produced. These sales could have been direct to other farms,
ffeediots, dairies. poultry operations, or any other producer, but not directly
to an elevator or commercial storage facility. The survey was conducted to
determine if farm-to-farm sales were a significant channel used by producers to
market their corn. Currently, farm-to-farm sales, as well as seed sales, are not
reflected in the NASS prices received estimates for grains.

The survey indicated 8 percent of corn for grain producers had sold, or intended
to sell. corn for grain directly to other producers. An additional 7 percent
were uncertain of their plans to sell directly to other farmers, and the
remaining 85 percent had no plans to market corn directly to other producers.

18 percent less than the previous forecast. The decrease in production was
caused by freezes in October and November which caused the hull to adhere to
the nut shell. Some of the damaged crop may be salvaged but quality is
expected to be lower. New Mexico's pecan production is forecast at

36.0 million pounds, 6 percent more than October. Quality is not as good as
growers expected earlier in the season.

Alabama's forecast has been reduced to 27.0 million pounds, 10 percent less
than the last forecast. Poor nut fill and blight damage have contributed to a
lower quality crop. Some shellers are not purchasing low quality pecans. The
Arkansas forecast is unchanged at 2.00 million pounds. Excessive rainfall
during the fall reduced the crop for some growers. The California forecast is
unchanged at 3.50 million pounds. Harvest is active with good quality
reported. The Florida forecast is 6.00 million pounds, down 14 percent from
October. Harvest conditions have been good but there was considerable loss
from premature nut drop.

The Kansas pecan production is forecast to be 1.80 million pounds, down

28 percent from the previous forecast. Harvest is progressing slowly and many
pecans may not be harvested due to low prices. Louisiana's pecan forecast is
unchanged at 24.0 million pounds. Weather conditions have aided harvest this
fall. The Mississippi forecast also remains unchanged at 8.00 million pounds.
Conditions have been extremely variable across the State with some growers
having poor crops, while others have enjoyed good yields. Oklahoma’s pecan
crop is forecast to only reach 15.0 million pounds, down 40 percent from
October. Freezing weather in late October severely damaged the crop. Low
prices may also cause some growers not to harvest acreage. The South Carolina
forecast has been lowered to 4.00 million pounds, down 11 percent from October.
Ory conditions caused premature nut drop and some nuts not to fill.

Florida Citrus: Groves, trees. and fruit remain in good condition. Rainfall
has been below normal in all areas of the citrus belt except
the lower East Coast, where several groves received excessive rain. In dry
areas, growers used low volume irrigation to maintain good tree condition.
There is good natural color for early types of fruit. Drop is normal for the
majority of the citrus belt. New growth slowed due to reduced sunlight and
cool night temperatures. Caretakers were actively cutting cover crops.
Growers also banked young trees with dirt and placed heaters in cold areas.

California Fruit and Nuts: Harvest ended by early November for many noncitrus

crops such as table and wine grapes. olives, and
pistachios. Walnuts, kiwifruit, pecans, dates, and avocados were picked
throughout the month. Navel orange harvest began in the Central Valley but was
slow due to variable maturity. Picking of lemons, grapefruit, and tangerines
continued. Cold night temperatures in the Central Valley in late November
enhanced external citrus fruit color. Hail damage from a mid-November storm in
Tulare county was evident in some citrus lots.

Texas Citrus: Harvest continued in the Rio Grande Valley at a rapid pace
during November. Cooler temperatures actually benefitted the
maturity of the crop. Quality and appearance remain good.

Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at

30.5 million tons, 1 percent more than last year and virtually
unchanged from the November 1 forecast. The increase is due to larger crops in
all States except Hawaii. Weather conditions in Hawaii varied throughout sugar
producing areas.

This year’s production of sugarcane for sugar, at 29.0 million tons is
virtually unchanged from a year ago.
