Oats: Production of oats is forecast at 250 million bushels, down 5 percent

from last month and 15 percent below the 1992 crop. Area for harvest
and to be harvested, at 4.11 million acres is down 1 percent from July 1 and
8 percent below last year’s 4.49 million acres. Flooding and excessive rains
reduced the acreage for harvest from last. month in Iowa, Missouri, and
Nebraska.

The expected yield is forecast at 60.7 bushels. compared with last season's
65.6 bushels. Expected yields in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota. Missouri.
and Nebraska were down significantly from last month.

Barley: Total production is forecast at 467 million bushels, up 1 percent from

last month and 2 percent above the 1992 crop. The expected yield per
acre is forecast at 61.9 bushels, up 0.6 bushels from July but 0.5 bushels
below last year. Area harvested and to be harvested, at 7.54 million acres. is
3 percent above last year's 7.31 million acres.

Major States showing yield increases from last month included California.
Montana. South Dakota, and Washington.

Durum Wheat: Production is forecast at 81.0 million bushels, up slightly from
July 1 but down 17 percent from 1992. Yields are expected to

average 37.8 bushels per acre, off 1.9 bushels from 1992s record high.

Improved yield prospects from last month in Montana offset declines in

Minnesota and South Dakota. Area for grain is unchanged from July 1 at

2.14 million acres.

Peanuts: Production is forecast at 3.91 billion pounds. down 9 percent from

Jast year’s crop and 21 percent below the record high 1991 crop.
Harvested area, estimated at 1.65 million acres, is 1 percent below last year.
Yields are expected to average 2,368 pounds per acre, 194 pounds below last
year and 76 pounds below the 1991 level.

Production in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South
Carolina) is expected to tota) 2.33 billion pounds. down 12 percent from last
year’s level. Expected acreage for harvest in the Southeast. at 989,500 acres.
is 1 percent below last year. Yields in the four-State area are expected to
average 2,351 pounds per acre. 290 pounds below the 1992 level. Dry conditions
through July across Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina reduced production
Prospects. Crop development as of August 1 was one to two weeks behind normal
due to high temperatures and dry weather. Across the three States, less than
half of the peanut acreage is considered to be in good condition. Irrigation
has been used extensively to maintain the crop where feasible. In Florida,
although localized. rainfall has been more frequent enabling much of the crop
to remain in good condition. No widespread insect problems are reported.

The Virginia-North Carolina production is forecast at 628 million pounds,

5 percent less than last year. Area for harvest is expected to total
244,000 acres, 2,000 acres less than the 1992 acreage. Yield per harvested
acre at 2.575 pounds is down 121 pounds from last year. Although July
temperatures set record levels. the peanut crop was not affected as much as

Prunes and Plums: Production in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington is
expected to total 29,500 tons. 23 percent Jess than a year
ago but 22 percent more than 1991.

The Michigan and Oregon crops fell victim to poor pollination. Bacterial spot
has also been a subsequent problem. Prunes are being shipped from the Yakima
region of Washington in light amounts. The season started about two weeks
later than last year. Harvest is expected to continue through September 4.

Papayas: Hawaii's fresh papaya output is estimated at 5.23 million pounds,
13 percent more than June and 5 percent more than a year ago.

Year-to-date fresh sales trail the same seven month period of 1992 by

3 percent. July weather provided a mixture of rainfall, sunshine, and high

humidity. Remnants of two tropical storms drenched the islands at mid-month

delaying or interrupting field operations.

Area devoted to papaya production is estimated at 3.800 acres, 2 percent lower
than June but 3 percent higher than last July. Harvested area, totaling
2,580 acres, was 1 percent lower than last month but 5 percent higher than
July 1992.

Hops: The production forecast of 73.2 million pounds is 2 percent less than
last year but 6 percent more than 1991. Increased acreage in Washington
could not offset the decreased yield.

Oregon's crop looks good in spite of cool weather this spring and early summer.
Some varieties may have been damaged from the wet weather. In Washington, a
cool, wet spring and late summer have been conducive to growth of mature hops.
However, the weather has been too cool for babies and baby yields are expected
to be lower than normal this year.

Olives: The August 1 forecast for the California olive crop is 115.000 tons,

down 30 percent from last year’s crop of 165,000 tons. The crop is
not expected to be as low as it normally would be following a record high year
due to ideal weather conditions and young trees coming into production.
Harvest is expected to begin by mid-September.

Peaches: The final production forecast for all peaches is 2.77 billion

pounds, down 4 percent from the July 1 forecast but 4 percent more
than 1992. Production excluding California Clingstone peaches, which are
mostly canned, is expected to total 1.63 billion pounds, down 6 percent from
the July 1 forecast but 10 percent more than last year.

The harvest of South Carolina’s peach crop continued slightly behind normal.
The lack of rain in June and July reduced prospects as fruit have not sized as
expected. Cullage haS also been higher than normal this year. California’s
harvest reached 70 percent complete. Split pits and brown rot have been the
major problems with early varieties. Sizing has been good.

Harvest of early varieties in Michigan is underway. Split pits are more
prevalent than usual this season. West Virginia had four weeks of above normal
temperatures and below normal precipitation. Peach size during the crucial
final Swell stage decreased, producing much smaller fruit in later maturing
varieties than in the earlier varieties.

Summary of Special Survey Procedures
For This “Crop Production” Report

The August surveys were baSed on subsamples of the area and list frame samples
surveyed for the June 30 “Acreage”, “Grain Stocks”, and “Hogs and Pigs”
inventory reports. The June Area and List Sample Surveys were conducted
simultaneously during the first 2 weeks of June. Growers selected from the
area and list frames were asked to report acres planted and to be planted at
the time of the interview. Those surveys showed that about 35 percent of the
soybean acreage remained to be planted at the time of the interview.

Normal survey activity for August consists of two surveys, conducted simult-
aneously July 19 to August 4. First a subsample of growers from the June List
Sample Survey was selected to represent all crops by size of operation and
geographic location. Growers in the subsample for the August report were
asked to:

e report the current number of acres planted. to be planted, and to be
harvested as of the date af this second interview,

e report expected yield from the acres to be harvested.

The second August survey. the Objective Yield Survey, included both corn and
soybeans. Random samples of corn and soybean fields identified during the June
Area Frame Survey were selected. Prior to obtaining plant counts and
measurements, the operator of the selected field was interviewed to obtain
actual acres planted and to be harvested in the selected field. Normally, the
August survey only includes one-half of the full sample to be surveyed
September through November.

In Illinois, lowa, Kansas. Minnesota. Missouri. Nebraska, North Dakota.
South Dakota. and Wisconsin the following additional steps were taken to help

estimate planted and harvested acres.

e Increased the August list sample of growers by 2,000 samples to
11,000 interviews.

° Increased the August objective yield sample to include grower interviews
for all Objective Yield Survey samples rather than the normal half
sample.

° Reinterviewed al] June area sample growers who had fields not yet planted

but intended to be planted to corn and/or soybeans. This included
approximately 2,200 growers in the nine States.

Other crops. Virginia producers report some spider mite problems but minimal
disease problems through August 1.

The Southwest crop production (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) is expected to
total 952 million pounds. down 2 percent from last year’s 975 million pounds.
The New Mexico crop experienced the most favorable conditions of any State in
the Southwest. Based on a slightly larger acreage and yields near last year’s
levels, 9 percent more production is expected. The region’s acreage. at
416,000 acres, is 2 percent below the 1992 level. Yields are expected to
average 2,289 pounds, 9 pounds per acre below the 1992 level of 2,298 pounds.
Texas and Oklahoma production areas are generally in good condition with only
isolated moisture shortages.

Rice: Rice production is forecast at 170 million cwt, 5 percent below 1992

but 8 percent above 1991. This production level, if realized. would be
the third highest production on record, falling short of crops from 1981 and
1992, Production is expected to be lower than 1992 in all States except
California. California is the only State with an increase in harvested acreage
over 1992. Yield per acre increased in 2 States, decreased in 3 States. and
remained the same as last year in 1 State. Overall. the U.S. yield decreased
9 pounds from 1992. Rice harvest is underway in Texas and the southern half of
Louisiana.

Soybeans: Growers planted 59.5 million acres of soybeans, down 2.1 million
acres from the June estimate but up fractionally from 1992.

Reduced plantings in the midwest due to wet weather and floods account for

2.0 million acres with the remaining acres stemming from drought conditions in

North Carolina and Virginia. Wet conditions in South Dakota caused the largest

reduction in plantings by 500.000 acres.

Area to be harvested, at 56.3 million acres, is down 4.1 million acres from
June. The States which suffered excessive rains accounted for the largest
harvested acreage reductions. The largest declines were in Iowa and Missouri
which each lowered their harvested area by 750.000 acres. On the east coast,
Georgia lowered its harvested acreage due to drought conditions.

Cotton: Upland cotton plantings are up 4 percent from the previous year, at
13.5 million acres, and harvested acreage increased 21 percent to

13.1 million acres. American-Pima planted and harvested acreage both declined

from 1992 by 25 percent to 197,000 acres, and 196,000 acres, respectively.

The west Texas crop iS in good condition because of good weather. Some heavy
rains in South Texas and dry weather in the eastern portion of the State caused
crop stress in those areas. Defoliation and limited harvest occurred in the
Rio Grande. On August 1, 59 percent of Texas’ acreage was in good to excellent
condition, and 38 percent was in fair condition. Boll set on 63 percent of the
acreage was 12 percent ahead of the 5-year average. Acreage abandonment, at

4 percent, is much less than in 1992, when weather caused a 35 percent
abandonment. Cotton objective yield data indicate Texas’ crop has the largest
number of squares, small bolls, and total fruit since 1983, and large boll
counts are the second highest during this same period. In Oklahoma, 80 percent
of the acreage was setting bolls, 42 percent above the usual rate.

Released August 11, 1993, by the Agricultural Statistics Board. Forecasts
refer to August 1, 1993.

Corn Production Down 22 Percent

Corn production is forecast at 7.42 billion bushels. down 22 percent from the
record high production of 1992. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are
expected to average 116.0 bushels per acre. down 15.4 bushels from the record
high yield of last year. Planted acreage of all corn is estimated at

73.7 million acres, down 600.000 acres from the June “Acreage” estimate. as a
result of the excessive rains and flooding in the Midwest. Harvested acreage
is estimated at 64.0 million acres, 5 percent below the June “Acreage” estimate
and 11 percent below the 1992 harvested acreage. Acreage for harvest as grain
was down in the Midwestern flood States as well as in the drought stricken
Southeastern States.

AJ) cotton production for 1993 is forecast at 18.5 million bales, the second
largest crop on record and 14 percent above the 1992 output. Yields are
expected to average 668 pounds per harvested acre, down 31 pounds from a year
ago. Harvested acreage increased 20 percent from last year to 13.3 million
acres. Texas Upland production, at 5.80 million bales is up 78 percent from
last year’s crop which was reduced by a 35 percent abandonment. This year,
Texas producers expect to harvest 96 percent of their planted acreage.
Production in the Delta States is forecast at 6.38 million bales, 2 percent
below last year. The Western States expect to produce 3.68 million bales, a
2 percent increase from 1992. Production in the drought stricken Southeast is
forecast at 1.86 miition bales, 10 percent less than the previous year.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) intensified its survey
efforts in nine midwest States (Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Dakota. South Dakota, and Wisconsin) to determine the effects
of the excessive rains and resulting floods on crop acres planted and to be
harvested. A summary of the added data collection efforts and acreage effects
in the nine States are included at the end of this report.

In California, Asian pear picking is underway with good quality reported. The
Oregon and Washington crops are developing normally.

Grapes: The production forecast for all grapes in the U.S. is 5.63 million

tons, down 7 percent from last year but 1 percent more than the 1991
crop. The decrease is mainly due to a reduced raisin crop in California
following last season's large production. The California all grape forecast is
5.00 million tons, down 8 percent from a year ago.

The raisin type grape forecast is 2.20 million tons, down 4 percent from last
month and down 18 percent from last year. This forecast is based on the grape
objective measurement survey. Both bunch counts and bunch sizes were down from
last year. Harvest will begin later this month.

The wine type grape forecast is 2.20 million tons, unchanged from last month
but up 3 percent from last year. Picking should begin soon in the San Joaquin
Valley.

California's table type grape production is forecasted at 600.000 tons,
unchanged from last month but down 7 percent from last season. Harvest is
active in the San Joaquin Valley with good quality reported.

The Michigan grape forecast is 55,000 tons, up 17 percent from last season.
There was no freeze damage to the crop this year. The New York all grape
forecast is 140,000 tons, down 22 percent from a year ago. Disease problems
are not a concern of growers this year but the vines are bearing fewer and
smaller berry clusters. The Pennsylvania crop forecast, at 65,000 tons, is
17 percent below last year’s crop. Good fruit quality is reported. The
Washington all grape crop is 305.000 tons. 34 percent more than last season.
Crop maturity is behind last year due to cool weather but excellent quality is
expected.

Ginger Root: The 1993 Hawaii ginger root crop is eStimated at 9.90 million

pounds. down 15 percent from 1992. The decline in production
came despite a record high 360 acres being harvested. A widespread outbreak of
bacterial wilt devastated the ginger root industry in 1993 reducing both
Quality and yields. Yields, as a result. were the lowest in 14 years.

Florida Citrus: Groves, trees, and new crop fruit are in good condition.

Rainfall was below average in the majority of citrus growing
counties during July. A few caretakers irrigated due to spotty rains. New
foliage is abundant on trees of all ages. Fruit have reached normal size for
the first of August but there is variation due to the long bloom period. Late
bloom this year has been small. Harvest is complete for the 1992-93 season.
Limited volumes of new crop ValenciasS and grapefruit were picked during July
for both fresh and processed use. The volumes were limited with most of the
processed fruit utilized for fresh squeezed products. Caretakers were active
this month cutting cover crops, spraying, and fertilizing.

California Fruit and Nuts: Fruit growers actively harvested summer crops and
treated orchard and vineyard pests during July.

classes. Pintos were up 16 percent. navy beans gained 13 percent, light red
kidneys increased 26 percent. and dark red kidneys were up 9 percent. Pink and
black turtle soup beans also jumped sharply from a year ago. Lower acreage was
recorded for great northerns and limas.

Flood losses or excessive rains lowered yields from last year in Minnesota,
North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Considerable acreage in North Dakota is Saturated
beyond recovery. Crop development is late with only 17 percent of beans podded
by August 1, Compared with a normal 67 percent.

Yields are up from or equal to last year in 11 of the 17 States estimating dry
beans. In Michigan, beans are ahead of schedule and in mostly good to
excellent condition. New York yields should return to normal after a wet
season a year ago.

Cool, cloudy weather slowed growth in Nebraska, Wyoming, and Kansas but yield
prospects are bright. Colorado beans were planted early but hail in
northeastern counties left some fields shattered. Texas and New Mexico had
been dry during development stages, although recent rains helped in New Mexico.
Beans started slowly in the Northwest with a cool, wet spring but prospects
remain generally good. Some fields in Oregon are a month late. Recent warm
temperatures heiped Idaho catch up. The extended wet spring has Washington
beans a week or two behind normal, although conditions are 100 percent good.
California anticipates good yields with excellent growing weather.

All Hay: Production is forecast at 151 million tons, an increase of 1 percent
from 1992. Area for harvest, totaling 60.1 million acres. is

virtually unchanged from the June “Acreage“ report but is expected to show

a 1 percent increase from last year. The forecasted average yield of 2.51 tons

per acre is up slightly from last year’s average of 2.50 tons per acre.

Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: The U.S. production is forecast at 80.9 million

tons, 2 percent above last year. The total
area cut and to be cut. at 23.8 million acres, is down slightly from June and
1 percent less than 1992. Yields are expected to average 3.39 tons per acre,
up 0.09 ton from the 1992 average yield.

All Other Hay: Production of all other hay is expected to total 69.9 million

tons, 1 percent above a year ago. Area harvested is expected
to total 36.3 million acres, virtually unchanged from the June “Acreage” report
but 2 percent above 1992. Yield per acre is expected to average 1.93 tons,
0.03 ton below 1992.

Summer Potatoes: Production of summer potatoes is forecast at 20.8 million

cwt, down 2 percent from last year and 8 percent below 1991.
The August 1 forecast is 1 percent below July 1 aS potatoes in the Southeast
and Atlantic Coast States deteriorated because of the drought. Farmers expect
to harvest 88,700 acres during the summer season. an increase of 3 percent from
a year earlier but yields are expected to fall 14 cwt per acre.

Harvest yields are 10 to 40 cwt lower than predicted a month ago in the
Southeast and Atlantic Coast States. Hot weather with little rain cut yields
in Alabama, North Carolina. Delaware, and New Jersey. Virginia harvest started
in late June with good size and quality but yields are well below last year.

July Weather Summary: Catastrophic river flooding struck the upper half of the

Mississippi Valley and the lower Missouri basin, and
dozens of monthly temperature and rainfall records were broken in opposite
quadrants of the Nation due to the sheer persistence and strength of a trough-
ridge couplet. The energetic trough--fueled by a strong north Pacific jet
stream and infused with abundant sub-tropical moisture--brought record cold to
the Northwest and delivered record rainfall to many areas within the Missouri
and middie Mississippi River watersheds. Equally anomalous and unyielding was
the ridge over the Southeastern States. which suppressed thunderstorm activity
and induced a month-long heatwave.

Although similar weather patterns have been observed during portions of other
growing seasons (e.g. early-summer 1947), never before this century has such a
powerful. stubborn trough-ridge couplet dominated throughout June and July. In
the Southeast, several locations notched 90-degree readings on every day in
July. including Chattanooga. TN. and Atlanta. GA. Montgomery, AL, endured an
average July maximum temperature of 97 degrees F. Atlanta reached the 100-
degree F mark on seven occasions, while Columbia, SC, remarkably attained that
level 17 times during the month. Record July heat was registered as far north
as the Middle Atlantic cities of Richmond, VA, Washington. DC. and
Philadelphia. PA. Greenville-Spartanburg. SC, suffered through not only its
hottest July on record, but its driest (0.75 inches of rain) as well.

Extremely dry weather was noted across much of the Nation's southern tier.
Records for July dryness were established in scattered locations from Arizona
to the Carolinas. In parts of central and eastern Texas. including Waco and
Dallas-Ft. Worth, no measurable rain fell during the month. But farther north,
Concordia, KS, broke its July rainfall record by more than 5 inches, and its
16.75-inch inundation was the station's heaviest l-month total on record. July
rainfall records were also established in locations such as Peoria, IL

(10.15 inches), Huron, SD (6.69 inches). Bismarck. ND (13.75 inches).
Williston, ND (6.28 inches), Miles City, MT (6.34 inches), and Glasgow, MT
(5.93 inches).

In the Northwest. damp, cool conditions dominated. Spokane. WA. observed a
combination of its coldest (8.6 degrees F below norma)) and fifth wettest
(2.08 inches of rain) July on record. The gigantic western trough held sway
over weather conditions as far south as Salt Lake City. UT, which had its
coldest July ever. The mercury reached 90 degrees F on only 7 days during the
month in Salt Lake City, 16 days fewer than normal.

Toward month's end. a dramatic shift in the weather pattern began to break the
Southeast's heatwave and permitted the Nation's mid-section to start drying
out. Meanwhile, heat quickly spread into the West. On July 29. Worland. WY,
attained 102 degrees F to notch a daily record high. During the first 28 days
of the month, Worland established 13 daily record lows. Farther east. Bristol.
TN, which had its hottest month on record, closed the month with a daily record
low of 55 degrees F.

General Crop Comments: The month of July will be remembered for excessive
rainfall and flooding in the Midwest: hot, dry,
drought-like conditions in the Southeast; and above normal rainfall in the
Northwest. At the beginning of July. winter wheat harvest was active. Hot.
dry conditions in the Southeast and South allowed the harvest to finish in

August 1993 B-3 NASS, USDA



these areas by the end of the month, while excessive moisture in the Midwest
hampered and delayed harvest. Drier conditions the end of the period allowed
harvest to advance in the Midwest and begin in the Northwest. Cool, damp
conditions during July over the major spring wheat growing areas delayed crop
development. By the end of July, virtually no acreage had been harvested,
compared to 20 percent being harvested in a normal year. Corn development was
more than 1 week behind normal in early July. Heavy rains in the Midwest and
excessive heat in the Southeast battered the crop during the month. Although
drier conditions at the end of the month allowed the crop to improve. growth in
many fields remained uneven and crop development remained more than 1 week
behind normal. Wet conditions delayed the completion of soybean planting until
the middle of July. Crop development has been hindered by coo)? conditions in
the Midwest and dry conditions in the Southeast. Drier conditions in late July
allowed the crop to recover, but the condition of the crop declined from the
beginning of the month. Hot, dry conditions in early July favored cotton
development. Crop development, as measured by cotton setting bolls. was ahead
of last year and average. However, the continued dry and hot conditions
stressed the crop in the South and Southeast and lowered crop conditions from
the beginning of July. Sorghum planting was completed in early July. Crop
development was slightly behind normal because of cool. damp conditions in the
Central Plains growing areas. Favorable conditions over the rice production
areas allowed the crop condition to improve during July. Producers started the
rice harvest at the end of the month.

Corn: Corn planted for all purposes is estimated at 73.7 million acres. down

7 percent from 1992 and 1 percent below the June estimate. The acreage
reductions from June were in Iowa, South Dakota, and Wisconsin, where excessive
tains and flooding prevented farmers from planting expected acreage.

Growers expect to harvest 64.0 million acres of corn for grain in 1993, down
11 percent from last year and down 5 percent from the June estimate. Acreage
declines were estimated in the Western Corn Belt and Wisconsin where excessive
rains and flooding caused acreage to be lost, and in the Southeast where
drought conditions have existed for most of the summer.

Corn acreage to be harvested for grain in Illinois, Lowa, Kansas, Minnesota.
Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin is down

3.10 million acres from the June estimate. Acreages in Georgia. North
Carolina, South Carolina. and Virginia are down 185,000 from June.

Sorghum for Grain: The first production forecast for 1993 is 642 million

bushels, down 27 percent from 1992. Planted acreage is
placed at 10.7 million acres, down 2 percent from the June planted estimate.
The decrease was in Kansas and Missouri, where wet fields prevented some
intended acres from getting planted.

Acres for grain harvest are 9.75 million, 20 percent less than last year and
off 3 percent from the June number. Most of the drop corresponds to the
Planted changes along with minor changes in I]linois, New Mexico, and South
Carolina. Yields are expected to average 65.9 bushels per acre. down

6.9 bushels from last season’s record high average of 72.8 bushels per acre.
Prospective yields are below last year in most producing States.

As of August 1, heading had reached 38 percent in the 12 major producing
States; percent turning color was at 23 percent. These trail average by 10 and
2 points. respectively. Colorado is the only producing State expecting to
harvest an area equa? to 1992. Al) other States are down from last year.

In New York, orchards without irrigation are in poor condition. Quality and
size are good where water is available. Harvest of early varieties began
during the last week of July. Pennsyivania’s growers need rain for crop
development. There have been some reports of hail damage and brown rot. Some
peaches in the Roanoke, Virginia. area were damaged by severe thunderstorms
which brought hail and high winds. Virginia, in general, has excellent
Prospects for a high quality crop even though size may be small. Harvest is in
full swing.

California’s Clingstone peaches, at 1.14 billion pounds, is unchanged from last
month but 4 percent less than last year. Brown rot has been a bigger problem
than last year. Fruit size has been good.

Apples: The Nation's apple forecast decreased fractionally from the July 1

forecast to 10.8 billion pounds but remained 1 percent above the
1992 crop. Increased prospects from last month in Washington could not offset
decreased prospects in the Eastern States.

Production in the Eastern States is forecast at 3.00 billion pounds, down

4 percent from the July 1 forecast and 1 percent less than Jast year.
Prolonged dry conditions. from North Carolina to New England, during June and
July reduced fruit size and diminished crop prospects. The dry weather has
helped reduce disease problems but insect infestations have varied from light
to heavy in several areas.

Production in the Central States, forecast at 1.62 billion pounds, is
fractionally more than the July 1 forecast and 5 percent more than a year ago.
The Michigan crop is expected to be of a high quality. Sizing has been
excellent. In Illinois, scab is evident because wet weather interfered with
spraying. The problem has little affect on production but may reduce utilized
production or cause more apples to be processed instead of being sold as fresh
fruit. Wisconsin's crop is generally good despite some hail damage.

Production in the Western States is placed at 6.17 billion pounds, up 2 percent
from the July 1 forecast and fractionally more than 1992. Harvest began for
California's Gravenstein and Royal Gala varieties. Thinning was successful in
Colorado and the apples are sizing well. Hot July weather and lack of rain
have forced growers to increase irrigation. Washington's apples are sizing
well due to a jong, mild spring. Growing conditions have been excellent.

Pears: Total U.S. production is placed at 945,300 tons, fractionally less

than last month's forecast but 2 percent more than 1991. The
reduction reflects decreased prospects in Michigan and New York from last
month.

Bartlett production in California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at
548,000 tons, unchanged from last month but 2 percent less than last year. In
California. picking is well underway with almost one-third of the crop
harvested. Good quality is reported. Washington's crop looks good. Harvest
is expected to begin mid-August, about two weeks later than last year.

Production of pears other than Bartlett in the Pacific Coast States is forecast
at 363,000 tons, unchanged from last month but 10 percent more than last year.

Flooding in the midwest wiped out some acreage in Missouri and delayed harvest.
Harvest is just starting in northwestern Missouri but has been completed in the
bootheel area. Situated between the drought in the East and heavy rains to the
west. Michigan growers are enjoying an excellent season for potatoes. Digging
is well underway in the Saginaw Bay area. Harvest is also underway in
Minnesota.

Out west. the summer crop looks good. Colorado's potatoes are rated mostly
excellent, although hail in the northeast reduced sizing. Mild temperatures in
California have been ideal for good yields and quality. In New Mexico. early
harvest is progressing well. Texas suffered from a prolonged period of dry
weather but yields are holding well.

Tobacco: U.S. all tobacco production for 1993 is forecasted at 1.55 billion

pounds, 10 percent below 1992. Harvested acres are expected to be
below last year by 5 percent. Yields for 1993 are estimated to average
2,075 pounds per acre, 119 pounds below the average for 1992.

Flue-cured production is expected to total 835 million pounds, 4 percent under
the forecast of a month ago and 8 percent less than a year ago. Yield per
acre, at 2,090 pounds. is 167 pounds below last year’s average. Hot. dry
weather in the Southeast has adversely affected the crop.

Burley production is expected to total 618 million pounds, 14 percent less than
the production of 1992. Yield is expected to average 2,078 pounds per acre.
85 pounds under 1992's average.

Sugarbeets: The sugarbeet production for the U.S. is expected to total

28.1 million tons, a decrease of 3 percent from 1992. Area for
harvest at 1.41 million acres is virtually unchanged from the June “Acreage”
report but shows a 1 percent decrease from a year ago. The forecast average
yield at 20.0 tons per acre, is 0.5 ton below last year’s yield.

Sugarcane: Sugarcane production for sugar and seed in 1993 is forecast at
30.9 million tons, up 2 percent from last year. The U.S.

harvested acreage is expected to total 935,100 acres, 1 percent above 1992.

The forecasted yield of 33.0 tons per acre is up 0.2 ton from a year earlier.

The cool spring weather along with dry summer weather has not provided the crop
with the best of growing conditions.

Pasture and Range Feed Condition: The pasture and range feed condition on

August 1 for the 48 contiguous States was
83 percent. 3 points below August 1, 1992, but 10 points above the 1982-91
average. Conditions were above last year in 17 States, below last year in
30 States, and unchanged in one State.

Conditions were below last year in all States east of the Mississippi River
except for Illinois, Michigan, Vermont, and Wisconsin. Conditions on the West
Coast were well] above last year.

Severe drought conditions were reported in Delaware, Georgia, and New Jersey.
Eight States reported conditions in the very poor range.

Drought Severity

Drought severity index (Palmer): Depicts prolonged (months, years) abnormal
dryness or wetness: responds slowly: changes little from week to week; and
reflects long term moisture runoff, recharge, and deep percolation. as well as
evaportranspiration.

Uses...applicable in measuring disruptive effects of protonged dryness or

The first soybean production forecast of the 1993 crop is 1.90 billion bushels,
down 13 percent from the previous year and 4 percent below 1991. Yield is
expected to be 33.8 bushels per acre. down 3.8 bushels from 1992. Area to be
harvested, at 56.3 million acres. is down 4.1 million acres from June and

2.0 mijtion acres from last year. iowa and MisSouri snowed the largest
decreases with 750,000 acres each. Soybean planting was completed at a later
date than in 1992. The average plant maturity. as wel? as the percentage of
pods set, is behind last year’s pace. The number of lateral branches per plant
is virtually identical to 1992. Soybeans are rated in mostly fair to good
condition.

All wheat production is forecast at 2.56 billion bushels. down 2 percent from
July 1 but up 4 percent from 1992. Yields are now expected to average
40.0 bushels per acre, a record high but off 0.5 bushels from July 1. Acres
for grain harvest are 63.9 million, down 300,000 acres from last month.

Winter wheat final 1993 production forecast is 1.79 billion bushels, off

2 percent from the July 1 forecast but 11 percent more than in 1992. Yields
are 40.5 bushels per acre, down a half bushel from last month. Area for grain
is 44.2 million acres, off slightly from the previous forecast but up 5 percent
from 1992. Kansas lost 100,000 acres from last month. Missouri and Nebraska
each lost 50,000 acres. Most of the remaining area to be harvested is in the
northern Plains and Pacific Northwest. Production declines from last month in
Soft Red and Hard Red winter wheat were only partially offset by improved White
wheat prospects.

Other spring wheat production is forecast at 687 million bushels, down

2 percent from July 1 and off 9 percent from 1992's record high. Expected area
for grain iS 17.6 mitlion acres as North Dakota has Jost 100.000 acres. U.S.
yields are forecast at 39.0 bushels per acre, down 0.4 bushel from last month.
Higher expected yields in Montana and Washington were more than offset by
reduced prospects in Minnesota and South Dakota. Overall, the crop continues
to develop later than average. Some diseases, most notably head scab. have
been reported in the Red River Valley.

Reliability of August 1 Crop Production Forecasts

Survey Procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted

between July 19 and August 4 to gather information on
expected yield as of August 1. The objective yield surveys for wheat. corn,
soybeans, and cotton were conducted in the major producing States that usually
account for about 80 percent of the U.S. production. Farm operators were
interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and to seek permission
to randomly locate two sample plots in selected fields (corn, cotton. and
soybeans), The items counted within the selected plots depend on the crop and
the maturity of that crop. In all cases, number of plants are recorded along
with other measurements that provide information to forecast the number of
heads, ears, pods, or bolls and their weight. The counts are used with similar
data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The five-
year average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. The plots
are re-visited each month until crop maturity when 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.

The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of
mail and personal interviewers. Approximately 30,000 producers were
interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield
and, in the case of late planted crops, acreage questions to measure changes in
intentions since the mid-year survey.

Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower

reported survey estimates were reviewed for errors,
reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data
were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared to
previous month and previous years. 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
August 1 forecast.

Revision Policy: The August 1 production forecast will not be revised:

instead a new forecast will be made each month throughout
the growing season. At the end of the marketing year administrative records
and a balance sheet are utilized using carryover stocks, production, exports,
processing, feeding. and ending stocks. Revisions are then made if data
relationships warrant changes. Estimates of planted acres for spring planted
crops are subject to revision August 1 if conditions altered the planting
intentions since the mid-year survey. Harvested acres may be revised any time
a production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended
harvested area has changed since the last estimate.

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

statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation

between the August 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as

a percentage of the final estimate. The average of squared percentage

deviations for the 1973-1992 20-year period is computed then the square root

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi. Missouri, and Tennessee)
rated their cotton mostly in fair to good condition. Three-fourths of
Arkansas’ crop was in good condition as of August 1. The exception was
Mississippi, where rainfall was jess than normal during the July. Crop
condition on August 1 rated nearly 20 percent of the acreage as very poor to
poor. Data from objective yield surveys show the fourth lowest total fruit
count since 1983 for Arkansas and Louisiana, and the second lowest total fruit
count in Mississippi. While the number of Louisiana's squares were the

third highest in the past 10 years, boll counts were nearly the lowest.
Arkansas bol) counts were the fourth lowest since 1983. Mississippi's count of
squares were ranked sixth, large bolls ranked seventh, and small bolls ranked
eighth among the previous 10 years.

Ninety percent of Arizona's crop was in good to excellent condition and boll
set was virtually complete on August 1. All of California's crop was in good
to excellent condition on the same date, but boll set was 6 percent behind
average due to precipitation and unusually cool temperatures in the spring.
Cotton objective yield counts show Arizona and California with the highest
total fruit counts since 1983. Small boll counts in Arizona were the largest
during the previous 10 years, while large bolls ranked sixth and squares had
the fifth largest count. California had the highest count of squares during
the past 10 years, while small bolls ranked third and large bolls ranked ninth.

In the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina). spring rains allowed the crop to germinate well and resulted in
generally good stands, but dry weather in the region caused crop condition to
deteriorate during July. Although most of the Alabama and North Carolina
acreage is in fair to good condition, nearly half of Georgia's crop and
three-fourths of South Carolina's crop were in very poor to poor condition on
August 1.

American-Pima production is forecast at 401.800 bales, down 21 percent from
1992's output. Yield is indicated at 984 pounds per harvested acre, up

46 pounds from last year. Arizona is the only State showing a higher yield
than last year, which was adversely affected by weather and whitefly.
California's crop is progressing well and is rated mostly good to excellent,
but is slightly behind in development due to a cool, wet spring which delayed
plantings. Some whitefly infestation began in Arizona, while the Texas crop
was progressing well.

Ginnings totaled 9,450 running bales prior to August 1, compared with
14,200 running bales ginned to the same date last year. and 137.100 running
bales in 1991.

Ory Edible Beans: The 1993 crop of dry beans is forecast at 26.0 million cwt,
up 18 percent from last year but 23 percent below the record
high crop of two years ago. Area for harvest, at 1.65 million acres, is up
10 percent from a year ago but 4 percent below the June acreage estimate.
Yields averaging 1.575 pounds per acre, are up 102 pounds from 1992. Planted
acreage tota]s 1.82 million acres. up 13 percent from a year ago and 2 percent
above the estimate made in June. Considerable acreage in the North Central
States was flooded out and will not be harvested.

Estimates by class show increased planted acreage primarily in the major

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.

For example, the “Root Mean Square Error" for the August 1 corn for grain
Production forecast is 7.6 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of

3 that the current production forecast of 7.42 billion bushels will not be
above or below the final estimate by more than 7.6 percent or approximately
564 million bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level)
that the difference will not exceed 13.2 percent or approximately 980 million
bushels.

Also shown in the following table is a 10-year record for selected crops of the
differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimates. Using corn
again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 336 million bushels, ranging
from 16 million to 1,063 million bushels. The August 1 forecast has been below
the final estimate 6 times and above 4 times. This does not imply that the
August 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final
production. For most crops, the number of years the forecasts have been below
or above the final estimate is about equally distributed.

Special Nine State Acreage Summary

Growers in the nine States affected by the recent excessive rains and
associated problems are now expected to harvest 145.6 million acres for 8 major
crops. 7.8 million acres less than estimated in June. Of the total decrease
since June, 2.8 million acres were not planted and 5.0 million were lost after
planting.

The acres reported above and shown by State on the next page. are acres
expected for harvest. The June acres for harvest were reported in the
“Acreage” report released June 30, 1993. These June harvested acres include an
allowance for normal abandonment. For example. the soybean estimate for
harvest of 60.5 million acres assumed abandonment of 1.1 million acres. The
current acres for harvest includes both the normal abandonment and additional
losses that have occurred because of the unusual weather conditions.

The difference shown in this special nine State acreage summary represent
changes from the June harvested acreage estimates. For example using soybean
