Wheat Pasture: On December 1, about 24 percent of the fall seeded wheat in the three-State area of

Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas had sufficient growth to support grazing, compared with 52
percent a year earlier and 34 percent on December 1, 1973. About 13 percent of the seeded acreage is
actually being pastured, Forage supply is rated as fair.

Kansas (Western): About 14 percent of the fall seeded wheat had sufficient growth to pasture, well below

a year earlier, Forage supplies ranged from mostly poor to fair across the western
two-thirds of Kansas with some of the heaviest ground cover found in the North Central and Central
districts.

Oklahoma (Western): One-third of the wheat acreage had enough growth on December 1 to permit grazing
compared with nearly two-thirds a year earlier. Statewide, the wheat forage supply

was rated as fair, Panhandle prospects for future grazing are doubtful due to the lateness of the crop.

Prospects in other locations continue favorable. ;

Texas (Panhandle and Low Plains); About 34 percent of the wheat acreage had sufficient growth to pas~

ture, compared with 73 percent a year earlier. The forage supply in
the Northern High Plains is poor and very little grazing has occurred. The Low Plains' forage supply is
rated fair to good,

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1975 B-5 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


WINTER WHEAT: The 1975 winter wheat crop totaled a,record high 1,651 million bushels, 19 percent

above production a year earlier and 40 percent above 1973. The current Crop is
the third consecutive record high production as a result of increasing acreage and good yields
The increased production was harvested froin 51.5 million acres--the largest acreage since 1949,
10 percent more than in 1974, and 34 percent above the 1973 acreage, Yield per harvested acre
of the 1975 crop averaged 32.0 bushels for the Nation, well above the weather plagued 1974 crop
average of 29.6 bushels, but less than the 33.1 bushels realized in 1973.

Planted acreage, at 56.2 million, was 7 percent above the 1974 acreage and the largest since
1953. Percent harvested, at 92, waa up from a year earlier and the highest since 1961.

Conditions from planting through harvest of the 1975 winter wheat crop were near normal for
the Nation, As usual, however, localized areas suffered from dry weather~-especially western
Kansas, Colorado and parts of Nebraska, There were also some localized disease problems, weather
too cool and wet for good growth and too much rain at harvest time.

Winter wheat prospects were generally bright on December 1, 1974 as the crop went into the
winter, However, inadequate moisture and snow cover in some areas as well as spotty stands in
sections of the Northern Plains and the Northwest were of some concern, The crop came through
the winter with no severe problems except for the dry areas of Colorado and western Kansas,

By May 1, winter wheat prospects were generally fair to good. However, growth and develop~
ment was lagging behind normal because of subnormal temperatures during the spring growing sea-
son, Prospects in Kansas, the Nation's top wheat producing State, varied considerably but over-
all prospects were good with development 1 to 2 weeks’ later than normal. Dry conditions con-
tinued to persist in the western part of the State. In south central and central Kansas, soil
borne mosaic had been common in many fields although visible effects had declined.

. Harvest of the crop. got off to a slow start and was behind normal in the southern Great
Plains on June 1, About 9 percent of the Texas crop and very little of the Oklahoma crop was
harvested by then, Elsewhere in the Great Plains and the Pacific Northwest, crop maturity was
a week or more behind normal, with moisture adequate and temperatures continuing cool. The
eastern wheat States were reporting improved prospects but some armyworm and disease problems.

A late maturing crop plus rain and humid weather delayed small grain harvest over much of
the Nation's midsection during June. This resulted in only 29 percent of the U. S. crop being
harvested by July 1, trailing the progress of 51 percent a year earlier and normal of 40 ‘percent.
By the end of August over 95 percent of the Nation’s winter wheat crop had been harvested, some-
what behind usual progress. In Montana and the Pacific Northwest, the only area with acreage
left to be harvested, progress was considerably behind normal due to late maturity arid wet
harvest weather,

DURUM WHEAT: The Nation's durum wheat production in 1975 totaled a record high 123 million
“~~~ bushels, This is 52 percent above the late planted, drought plagued 1974 output

and $7 percent above the 1973 crop when acreage was much lower, Both acreage and yield of the 1975
crop were up sharply from a year earlier. Acreage harvested, at 4.7 million, was up 14 percent
from 1974 and 62 percent above 1973. The U.S. average yield at 26.4 bushels per harvested acre
was well above last year's average 19.8 bushels but below the 27.2 bushels in 1973.

Seeding of durum wheat in the major areas got off to a late start due to cool, wet weather
but made rapid progress during late May and was completed by early June. Cool damp weather de-
layed crop development during June in all major producing areas, Torrential rains at the end of
the month caused severe flooding in the southern part of the Red River Valley in North Dakota
and Minnesota. Hot dry weather hit the Dakotas during July but weather was favorable elsewhere.

Combining of the crop began and progressed at a normal pace until about mid-August when it
was delayed by cool, wet weather, Much of the North Dakota crop laid in the swath for several
weeks, resulting in some quality deterioration.

CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


The 1975 cotton harvest in the 11 major Southern States got off to a slower than usual
start and by December 1 still trailed the average level, Picking in these States was 62%
finished, versus 57 percent in 1974 and the average 65 percent. The Texas harvest was 48 per-
cent complete, much ahead of last year's 40 percent. In Mississippi, harvest was behind both
1974 and average with only 75 percent picked. The first pick of cotton was well along in
California's San Joaquin Valley.

WINTER WHEAT SEEDING IN WINDUP STAGES

Winter wheat seeding was virtually complete by December 1, except in some Southern States.
Condition of the crop ranged from fair to excellent, depending largely on the availability of
moisture supplies. Inadequate moisture during November in much of the western Great Plains caused
uneven and spotty stands, while stands in most areas of the eastern Corn Belt and Pacific North-
west were thriving.

November was somewhat trying for winter wheat in much of the Great Plains States, Moisture
was on the short side until late in the month in the western Great Plains, but remained mostly
adequate in much of the eastern Great Plains, Winter wheat seeding continued later than a year
ago and normal in most areas. in the Southern Plains; however, rains in the Texas Plains improved
soil conditions and seeding progress was on schedule December 1. In Kansas, the winter wheat
crop was short on top growth and root development in many areas. By December 1, topsoil moisture
was adequate except in some southwest counties, but warmer temperatures were needed to improve
wheat stands. Condition of wheat was mostly good in Oklahoma, but late seeded wheat remains
short largely because of cool nights, Wheat seeding was 99 percent complete in Texas, Recent
rains on the High and Low Plains improved growth; although additional moisture is needed. Green-
bug infestations were common in many areas of the Southern Great Plains. Cool weather limited
their activity in much of Kansas and Oklahoma, but control measures were necessary in the Texas
Low Plains, Soil moisture supplies were short over much of Nebraska until the winter storms
moved in and improved the wheat condition to mostly fair by December 1.

Moisture from recent storms aided winter wheat in Colorado, By December 1, crop condition
was fair to good, except in the southeast where it remained poor, Winter wheat was in mostly
fair condition in Wyoming, Most wheat fields in Montana had good snow cover protection and
adequate soil moisture supplies and the crop is in good condition,

Soil moisture in Washington winter wheat fields is excellent and stands are thriving, Cool
weather late in the month slowed greenbug activity. Limited seeding continued in Oregon on
December 1 as weather allowed. Wet conditions during much of the month slowed seeding activity.

Winter wheat was in good to excellent condition in most of the eastern North Central States
and growth was aided by adequate soil moisture and above normal temperatures during much of
November.

COTTON: All cotton production is forecast at 8.5 million bales, down 6 percent from November 1
and 27 percent below 1974, and 35 percent below 1973. Expected production consists of
8.4 million bales of Upland cotton and 57,300 bales of American Pima. Cottonseed production,

based on a three-year average lint-seed ratio, is forecast at 3.3 million tons, 27 percent below
1974,

Growers expect to harvest 9.3 million acres this year, 26 percent below 1974 and 22 percent
below 1973. Average lint yield per harvested acre is forecast at 437 pounds, 5 pounds below
1974 and 29 pounds below the November 1 forecast.

Upland cotton producers in Texas and Oklahoma expect to harvest 2,650,000 bales, 4 percent
below last year. Harvest is complete in East and South Texas and is active in West Texas and
Oklahoma. Although yields are somewhat disappointing, weather for harvest has been favorable
following freezing temperatures and harvest progress is moving rapidly.

In the Delta States--Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Missouri-~a cotton
crop of 2.5 million bales is expected, 30 percent below last year. Harvest is progressing later
than normal and has benefitted from favorable autumn weather

Production in the Southeastern States--Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, and North Carolina--
is expected to total 645,000 bales, 52 percent below 1974. Ginnings are about three-quarters
complete in Alabama and Georgia and over 90 percent complete in North and South Carolina. Har-
vest is making good progress but is later than usual.

NOVEMBER WEATHER VARIABLE

Weather during November was nearly ideal for harvesting the 1975 row crops, but unfavorable
dry conditions existed until late month in many areas of the western Great Plains for seeding
and growth of the 1976 winter wheat crop. Extreme dryness in parts of the Great Plains was re~
lieved by abundant November moisture, However, some of this moisture came as blinding blizzards.
In general, precipitation across the Nation was greater than normal. The major exceptions were
the far West, much of Texas, the South Atlantic Coast, and the eastern Corn Belt. Rainfall
amounts ranged from a trace in Las Vegas to over 24 inches at Quillayute, Washington. Tempera-
tures averaged near normal in most areas except in the northeast quadrant, which was well above
normal,

November began with fair skies across most of the Nation except for very welcome moisture
in the Central Great Plains. The rainfall activity spread across the eastern United States on
the 2nd, accompanied by record warmth which continued most of the week. Temperatures averaged
12 to 20 degrees above normal for the week. Heaviest rainfall amounts were associated with
strong thundershower activity in Louisiana, Over 8 inches fell on New Orleans on the 5th,
causing some serious flooding. Colder air pushed across the Rockies on the 8th and triggered
some tornado activity in northeast Iowa on the 9th, Temperatures averaged near normal from the
10-16th, as very warm conditions early in the week turned quite cold with freezing temperatures
into northern Florida the morning of the 14th. Heaviest precipitation occurred across the
Southeast and along the northern edge of the Pacific Coast. At midweek, wintry weather dropped
as much as 9 inches of snow in the western Great Lakes area. Showers and thundershowers were
widespread from the Ohio Valley to the Louisiana Delta.

A severe winter storm began building up over the central Rockies on the 17th, The storm
dumped heavy snow across the Rockies and moved into the Great Plains by the 18th. Whipped by
40 mph winds, blizzard conditions’ spread from eastern Colorado to the Great Lakes region by the
20th, Heaviest snow occurred from eastern Nebraska into northern Minnesota. Snow closed toads
throughout the area with zero visibility, high winds and huge snow drifts. Livestock death
losses were minimal in most States, but heavy in some localized situations. Unseasonably cold
temperatures put most of the Nation into the grip of winter during the closing week of the month.
Temperatures averaged 6 to 24 degrees below normal over the Rockies and Great Plains. Winter
storms blanketed parts of the Rockies and Great Plains with snow as far south as the Texas
Panhandle on the 25th.

Wigespread storms on the 26th forced some holiday travelers to change their plans. One
etorm drifted across the middle Mississippi Valley and a second moved into the Plains from the
northern Rockies, Hazardous travel conditions existed in portions of the Plains and the upper
two-thirds of the Mississippi Valley. Snow spread into the New England area Thanksgiving Day
The month ended with extremely cold conditions in many parts of the Country,

HARVEST OF MOST ROW CROPS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

Corn, sorghum and soybean harvests continued ahead of normal and made excellent progress
during November. Combining was also ahead of the 1974 level in most States. Cotton harvesting
varied considerably from State to State, but continues to trail the usual pace.

Corn harvesting was nearly complete by December 1, compared with 91 percent on this date in
1974 and the average 89%. Harvest was essentially complete in al] States in the North Central
region except for Indiana, where 97 percent of the crop was harvested. The 1975 corn harvest
was finished in Illinois and Iowa by November 23, much ahead of the 1974 and average levels.
All Southern States except Alabama had at least 90 percent of this year's corn crop harvested
by December 1. In Alabama, 88 percent of the crop was picked.

Sorghum combining was virtually complete by December 1 in all major producing States except
Oklahoma, where harvest was 91 percent finished, versus 7] percent in 1974 and the average 82%.
This year's harvest progressed rapidly and out-paced last year and normal in nearly all areas.
The Texas harvest was wrapped up by December 1, except for a few fields in the Low Plains and
some fall stands in south Texas.

The Nation's soybean harvest also made favorable progress and was 95 percent complete,
ahead of both a year earlier and normal. Combining was complete in most North Central States
by December 1 and 86 percent finished in the Southern States. Harvest ranged from only 65 per-
cent complete in North Carolina to virtually complete in Texas. Combining continued to trail
last year’s progress in all of the South Atlantic States, but remains ahead in most South Central
States.

TANGELOS: The Florida tangelo crop is forecast at a record 5.5 million boxes, 17 percent above
the previous record of last season, Harvest progress is slightly ahead of last year

TANGERINES: The U. S. 1975-76 tangerine crop is expected to total almost 7.5 million boxes, 7
percent above last month and 42 percent more than last season. The Florida forecast
of 5.3 million boxes is for that part of the crop expected to reach a size of 210 fruit per 4/5
bushel carton, An estimate for that portion of the crop utilized will be reflected in the
February report. In the 1970-71 season when November fruit count data showed 4.9 million boxes
available to meet the 210 size a total of 3.7 million boxes was utilized. This year the average
size of tangerines at the time of the November survey was the largest of record. California at
1,5 million boxes are unchanged from last month but 3 percent less than last season. The Arizona
forecast at 0.7 million boxes is unchanged from last month but is 7 percent above last year.

TEMPLES: Florida temple production is forecast at a record 5.5 million boxes, 4 percent above
the 5.3 million boxes harvested last season.

OATS: The 1975 production of oats is estimated at 657 million bushels, 7 percent more than the

1974 output but slightly less than the 1973 crop, The increased 1975 output was
influenced by more acres being harvested for grain with higher average yield, Acres abandoned
and used for purposes other than grain accounted for 21,5 percent of the planted acreage compared
with 26.5 percent for the 1974 acreage. Yield per harvested acre averaged 48.1 bushels compared
with 46,5; bushels last year,

Oat plantings were off to a slow start due to unfavorable spring conditions but once farmers
were able to get in the fields, rapid progress was made and seeding was completed near normal
dates. Prospects in the important North Central States were good to excellent early in the sea~
son but delined each forecast month as unusually dry and hot temperatures prevailed during July
and most of August. Even with declining prospects during the season, yields in the North Central
States, except Iowa and Wisconsin, were better than the 1974 drought-stricken crop,

Warvest started in late May and early June in the Southern States and continued to move
northward, By August 1, harvest was active in South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois
and was just getting a good start in North Dakota.

BARLEY: The 1975 production of barley totaled 383 million bushels, 26 percent above the 1974
crop but 9 percent below 1973. The improvement of the 1975 crop over last year’s poor
crop was influenced by increased acres harvested for grain and higher average yield.

Acreage harvested for grain is estimated at 8.7 million acres, 7 percent above the 8.2
million acres harvested in 1974 but 17 percent below 1973, Yield per acre averaged 44.0 bushels,
up nearly 7 bushels from last year, and the third highest yield of record,

The 1975 spring barley crop got off to a slow start as plantings were delayed in the major
producing States due to cool, wet weather, The crop continued to develop behind normal during
the growing season but was benefited by favorable rainfall in most areas. Extensive flooding in
the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota in late June resulted in sizable loss of
acreage. Harvest was nearly complete in the major States by September 1, slightly ahead of nor-
mal. However, in Montana only 25 percent of the crop was harvested by September 1 and in the
northern portion some fields still remained unharvested by November 1, Favorable weather aided
by adequate soil moisture benefited the barley crop in California, Harvest was a little late
but progressed normally with fair weather.

ALL WHEAT: Production of all wheat in 1975 tutaled a record high 2,134 million bushels, 19 per-
cent above the previous high of 1,796 million bushels set in 1974 and 25 percent

above the 1973 output, Average yield per harvested acre of the 1975 crop, at 30.6 bushels, is

well above the relatively Jow 1974 yield of 27.4 but below the 31.7 bushel average realized in

1973, Wheat was harvested from 69,7 million acres--6 percent above a year earlier and 29 percent
above 1973,

Conditions for rice production were generally favorable for the 1975 crop except for some
planting problems caused by excessive rain in much of the rice producing area and wet harvest
conditions in Louisiana. In Arkansas, the leading rice producing State, the 1975 crop year was
reasonably favorable. Planting conditions were good but temperatures during the growing season
were extremely high at times, causing a reduction of pollination. Harvest weather in Arkansas
was nearly ideal.

Harvest of the Louisiana crop was slowed by frequent rains, causing considerable lodging
with some rotting and sprouting of grain. Wet, cool spring weather in Texas delayed planting and
hampered seed germination. In rany areas rain and cloudy weather during the critical heading of
the first crop held down yield. Harvest of the first crop was later than normal. Conditions
during the growing and harvest season for the second crop varied but were generally favorable in
most areas.

In California, 1975 was somewhat of an unusual year for rice production. Planting was delay-
ed by cool spring temperatures with completion 10 days to 2 weeks late. Early summer
temperatures generally held on the cool side but from mid-August through September temperatures
were above normal. Conditions were apparently ideal for heavy fill as yields were good. Harvest
weather was favorable.

Production of dry edible beans in 1975 is estimated at 17.2 million cwt., down
15 percent from the record high 20.3 million cwt. produced in 1974, but 5
percent more than the 1973 crop. Growers planted nearly 1.50 million acres this year, 8 percent
less than in 1974, Abandoned acreage amounted to 3,3 percent leaving almost 1.45 million acres
for harvest, 6 percent below the 1974 harvested total.

DRY EDIBLE BEAN:

Production of Navy Pea Beans was down 42 percent from 1974, Of the other major classes,
Great Northerns and Red Kidneys were down 34 and 3 percent, respectively from a year earlier,
while Pintos were up 34 percent and Pinks were 12 percent higher than 1974.

Wet weather in Michigan, the largest producing State, was responsible for only 40 percent of
the crop being planted by mid-June compared with an average of 52 percent. Hot weather in late
July through early August resulted in a light pod set. Heavy rains in late August reduced
quality by causing discoloration and moid. farly harvesting was delayed by frequent rains but

conditions were favorable after late September.
.

Early planting progressed on schedule in New York, North Dakota, and Montana but cool, wet
weather delayed late seeding operations. in most other areas. Cool spring weather also delayed
development in Washington and Idaho.

New York's harvest went smoothly after a slow start, Harvesting in Washington and Idaho was
later than usual as wet weather kept some growers out of their fields, Wyoming's harvest was
slightly behind normal this year and California's late harvest was slowed by damp nights.

POTATOES: ‘The 1975 fall potato crop is estimated at 271.9 million cwt., 6 percent below the 288.7

million cwt. harvested in 1974, but 1 percent above last month's forecast and 7 percent
above 1973. The 1975 crop was harvested from 1.04 million acres, 9 percent less than 1974 and 2
percent below the 1973 acreage, The average yield is estimated at a record 261 cwt, per acre, up
3 cwt, from last month's forecast and 8 cwt, above the 1974 yield. The largest increase in
average yield from a year ago occurred in western States.

In the eight eastern States, production is estimated at 48.0 million cwt., down 20 percent
from the 1974 crop of 60,3 million cwt. Most of the reduction occurred in Maine as a result of
reduced acreage and yield.

The eight central States, with estimated production of 53,9 million cwt., harvested 17 per-

cent fewer fall potatoes than the 65,4 million cwt, harvested in 1974, Harvested acreage declines
in Minnesota and North Dakota account for most of the production decline in the central States,

The durun wheat program is being expanded to recognize the new production in the Southwest
beginning in 1975. The expansion was largely prompted by the introduction of new varieties and
has been particularly significant in Arizona. The 1975 estimate for California shown in this re~-
port includes total California production. Previously, estimates of durum wheat acreage, yield
and production were for Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and the Tulelake area of
California. Estimates for Arizona and New Mexico will begin with the 1976 crop and will appear

initially in the Prospective Planting Report to be issued January 21, 1976. Durur -licct produced
in Arizona and Mew Mexico in 1975 was “acluded in the toter winter wheat estimates for thse
States

SPRING WHEAT OTHER THAN DURUM: Production of spring wheat other than durum in 1975 totaled 359

~~ million bushels, 11 percent above the weather plagued 1974 crop
and 2 percent above the 1973 crop. The increase in production over a year earlier is the result
of higher yields on fewer acres harvested. Acreage harvested in 1975 is estimated at 13.4
million, 7 percent below the previous year but 7 percent above the 1973 acreage. Planted acres
for 1975 totaled 14.1 million, off 5 percent from the previous year. In North Dakota, the lead~
ing State, planted acres were down 5 percent and harvested acres were off 8 percent.

Seeding of spring wheat got off to a slow start as cool damp weather delayed progress.
Conditions improved in late May and by early Junc the crop was seeded. By July 1, development
was behind normal in the major producing States as cool damp weather during June slowed growth.
Only 7 percent of the crop in North Dakota was in the heading to flowering stage on July 1, well
behind the normal 22 percent. The wet June weather was followed by a month of hot, dry weather
in the Dakotas and Minnesota causing stress on the crop. July conditions in Montana, however,
were favorable,

Torrential rains during late June caused severe flooding in the southern part of the Red
River Valley in North Dakota and Minnesota. As a result large acreages of spring wheat in the
affected areas were completely lost or damaged.

Spring wheat harvest was well behind normal as of September 1 as a result of wet, cool
weather. However, harvest made good progress during September and was virtually complete by
October 1 in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Montana experienced some harvest delays because of con-
tinued wet weather and was 85 percent complete.

RYE: The 1975 rye crop totaled 17.9 million bushels, 7 percent below production the previous
year and 32 percent below the 1973 crop. Rye was harvested from 814,000 acres, 9 percent

less than a year earlier and the smallest of record. Yield per acre, at 22.0 bushels, was 0.5

bushel above the low 1974 average but well below the more normal 25.4 bushel outturn in 1973.

Farmers seeded rye on 3.2 million acres for the 1975 crop, 1 percent below 1974 and 11 per~
cent below the 1973 crop. ‘Twenty-six percent of the 1975 crop was harvested for grain compared
with 28 percent in 1974 and 29 percent in 1973.

At seeding time for the 1975 crop, moisture was short in the major grain producing area of
the Northern Great Plains. This resulted in poor stands and restricted fall growth. Dry weather
also prevailed in this area during the spring and summer growing season resulting in a low
yielding crop. Average yield in the Dakotas and Minnesota was 4.5 to 11 bushels lower than the
good yields realized in 1973. In Georgia, the leading southern producing State, yield was 3
bushels below a year earlier,

RICE: Production of rice in 1975 is estimated at a record high 127.6 million cwt. reflecting a

sharp increase in acreage over the previous year and a better than average yield. The
1975 crop is 14 percent above 1974 output and 38 percent above 1973. The acteage harvested in
1975 totaled a record large 2.8 million acres, up 10 percent from a year earlier and 29 percent
above 1973. Yield per harvested acre at 4,555 pounds exceeded last year's average of 4,432 and
the relatively low 1973 average of 4,274 pounds

Estimates of production by length of grain classes and the change from the preceding year

are: long grain, 63.1 million cwt., up 5 percent; medium grain, 51.9 million ewt., up 26 percent;
and short grain, 12.6 million cwt., up 14 percent. :

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1975 B-18 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


The California, Arizona, and New Mexico Upland crop is forecast at 2.6 million bales, down

30 percent from 1974. Picking is progressing well with harvest 70 percent complete or more. In
the Imperial Valley, the crop is late and harvest is just getting underway. Arizona suffered a

major storm in late November that temporarily slowed harvest progress.

The Bureau of the Census reports 5,801,995 bales ginned to December 1, compared with
8,291,385 bales ginned to the same date in 1974 and 9,196,659 bales in 1973. The difference
between the December 1 all cotton forecast and final ginnings during the past 10 years has
averaged 139 thousand bales, ranging from 72 thousand to 338 thousand.

BURLEY TOBACCO: Production of burley tobacco is forecast at 639 million pounds, up slightly from

637 million pounds a month earlier and 4 percent above the 1974 crop of 613
million pounds, A 7 percent increase in acreage is responsible for the larger 1975 crop.’ Yield
per acre is expected to average 2,288 pounds, down from the 2,345 pounds realized in 1974,

Markets opened on November 24, 1975 with lower demand, lower prices, and reduced volume from last
year.

PECANS: U.S. production of all pecans is forecast at 230.2 million pounds, down 5 percent from

the October 1 forecast but up 68 percent from last year's small crop. Production pro-
spects declined since October 1 in Alabama, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and
Texas but were improved in Louisiana. Pecan harvest continues to’progress in all States and is
now approaching completion, The‘overall quality of the crop is somewhat below normal,

Nut development in South Carolina was hampered by the long rainy period during June and July.
+ In Texas, scab disease damage becomes more prevalent as harvest activities increase.

Improved varieties are expected to account for 50 percent of this year's crop compared with
62 percent a year ago.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: The pasture and range feed condition for 37 States reporting on

December 1 was 74 percent, This is 3 points above a year earlier, but
7 poinws below December 1, 1973. Conditions in the northwest and most of the eastern one-third

of the Nation continued good to excellent. Fair to very poor conditions dominated the midwest
and southwest.

ORANGE!

U. S. production for the 1975-76 crop is forecast at 230.7 million boxes, 3 percent
below last season's record. Florida prospects at 172.0 million boxes are unchanged
from October 1 but are 1 percent below last season's record. Early and midseason oranges in
Florida are expected to total 98.0 million boxes, up 1 percent from last year's record. Florida
Valencia orange forecast is placed at 74.0 million boxes, down 4 percent from last year.

California orange production is forecast at 49.0 million boxes, 2 percent above November 1
but 11 percent below last season. Navel orange production is set at 26.0 million boxes, 7 per-
cent above last season. Current prospects for Valencia oranges at 23.0 million boxes are 15 per-
cent below last season. Texas orange prospecte at 5.8 million boxes are unchanged from last
month but 28 percent above last season's short crop. In Arizona, orange production is forecast
at 3.9 million boxes, 22 percent below last season.

Changes in U. S. production between the December 1 forecast and final production have aver-
aged 6.4 million boxes over the past 10 seasons, ranging from 0.4 million boxes in 1967-68 to
19.2 million boxes in 1970-71.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The all orange juice yield for 1975-76 is projected at
1,35 gallons of 45 degree brix concentrate per box.
Final yield from the 1974-75 crop was 1.31 gallons per box.

GRAPEFRUIT: The U. S. 1975-76 crop is forecast at a record 69.8 million boxes--14 percent above

last season. Florida's grapefruit crop is expected to totai 50.0 million boxes,
unchanged from October 1 but 12 percent above a year earlier. The Texas crop at 11.0 million
boxes is 5 percent above last month and 51 percent above last year's short crop. California's
prospects at 5.7 million boxes are 11 percent below last season. The Arizona forecast at 3.1
million boxes is unchanged from last month but is 12 percent above last year's crop. The crop is
in good condition in all areas and fruit quality is mostly excellent.

LEMONS: Prospects in California and Arizona on December 1 point to a crop of 19,8 million boxes,

3 percent less than last month and 33 percent below last year’s record high. Harvest is
about one-half complete in the early California - Arizona desert area but is just underway in
other areas.

POTATOES: OBJECTIVE YIELD RESULTS, 1975 SURVEY

Objective yield surveys conducted by the Statistical Reporting Service were expanded in 1975
to include five new fall crop potato States, California, Colorado, Michigan, New York, and
Pennsylvania. Data for 1975 and comparable data for 1974 (where available) are shown in the fol-
lowing tables. Actual sample data and averages are prdsented as obtained from the objective yield:
surveys. These data are not official estimates of the Crop Reporting Board but are intended to
provide current information about the crop.

Potato fields were selected on 4 random basis-using a scientifically designed sampling pro-
cedure. Enumerators obtained data from these fields both before and after harvest, Sample data
were obtained for both planted and harvested acres, varieties grown, and plant counts. From each
sample field, 6 hills were dug for size, grade, and weight determinations. After fields were
harvested, additional samples were taken to determine quantities remaining in the field after
harvest which are deducted to obtain net weight indications.

Grade data presented in the following tables reflect the condition of potatoes at the time
the samples were dug. Deterioration in grade caused by harvest damage (cuts and bruises) is not
réflected in these tabulations.

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1975 B-16 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Production in the nine western States, at 170.0 million cwt., increased 4 percent frem the
163.0 willion ewt. harvested in 1974, Increases in acreage and yields in Washington and Oregon
account for most of this production increase.

December 1 potato stocks estimates for the fall production States are available in a
separate release.

SEASON AVERAGE PRICES AND VALUE OF PRODUCTION OF SMALL GRAINS, BY STATES, 1973, 1974 AND 1975

Season average prices and value of production for wheat, rye, oats, and barley are presented
in this report.

Price estimates for the 1975 crops are based on sales through November with an allowance for
marketings for the remainder of the season. State season average prices are computed by weight-
ing midmonth prices by estimated monthly marketings. For States where price estimates are not
available by months, the season average price is based on special survey data. The season average
price for wheat, rye, oats, and barley include an allowance for unredeemed CCC loans and purchase
agreement deliveries valued at the average loan rate by States, U. S. season average prices are
obtained by weighting State prices by estimated State sales for each crop year. Therefore, this
price may differ from an average price calculated based on value of production divided by quantity
produced.

State season average prices are applied to production estimates to compute the value of
production for each State. The U. S. value of production is the sum of the State values. All
value of production estimates relate to the crop year and should not be confused with cash
receipts, which relate to sales during a calendar year irrespective of the year of production.

All estimates for the 1975 crop are preliminary. The 1974 crop prices are subject to
further minor revisions and final estimates for the 1974 crop will be published in the May 1976
report. Season average prices and value of production, including Government payments, are also
shown for all wheat (1973 and 1974) and barley (1973 and 1974).

The U. S. monthly open market farm sales as a percent of the marketing year sales for
selected crops are shown on page B~25. The marketing season for each crop is shown on page B-26.
