GRAPEFRUIT: The U.S. grapefruit crop is forecast at 67.4 million boxes (2.49 million metric

tons), down fractionally from the May 1 forecast and 8 percent below last season.
The Florida crop at 50.5 million boxes is unchanged from the May 1 forecast and 8 percent less
than last season. California prospects, at 7.30 million boxes, are unchanged from May 1, but 3
percent below last season. Arizona production is placed at 2.80 million boxes, down 7 percent
from both the May 1 forecast and last season.

Grapefruit harvest was 93 percent complete by June 1 compared with 94 percent last season.
Harvest was 99 percent complete in Florida, 89 percent in Arizona, and 44 percent complete in
California.

Changes in the U.S. grapefruit production forecast between June 1 and final production have
averaged 648 thousand boxes over the past 10 seasons, ranging from 160 thousand boxes in 1970-71
to 1.76 million boxes in 1977-78.

APRICOTS: The first forecast for the 398) apricot crop is placed at 108 thousand tons (97.5

thousand metric tons), 10 percent less than last year's crop. The California crop is
forecast at 105 thousand tons, 9 percent less than last season. A frost in April lowered
production of canning varieties.

The Utah crop of 1600 tons is 7 percent above last year. Set is heavy in most areas with
spotty frost damage in a few localities. The Washington crop of 900 tons is down 64 percent
from last season due to poor, pollinating weather and damaging frosts in April.

NECTARINES: The California nectarine crop is forecast at a record 210 thousand tons (191

thousand metric tons), 9 percent more than last year and 22 percent higher than
1979, This year's higher production results from an increase in bearing acres. There are some
size problems, but overall quality is good.

PRUNES AND PLUMS: California's prune production is forecast at 155 thousand tons (141 thousand

metric tons), 8 percent less than last year but 14 percent above the 1979
crop. Fruit sets and sizes are about the same as last year but production is expected to be
Tower because of fewer bearing acres.

Plum production in California is forecast at a record 180 thousand tons (163 thousand metric
tons), 13 percent more than the 1980 crop and 3 percent above 1979. Increased production
results mainly from a 1300 acre increase in area for harvest. Harvest of major varieties is
currently underway. Quality is very good.

ALMONDS: The California almond crop (shelled basis) is now expected to total a record 400

million pounds (181 thousand metric tons), up 5 percent from last month's forecast and
24 percent more than last year's harvest. Sets are excellent in the Sacramento Valley and the
San Joaquin Valley except Kern County. Nonpareil, Mission, Merced and most other varieties
except the Thompson variety appear better than last year.

LEMONS: The California and Arizona lemon crop is expected to total 31.5 million boxes (1.09

million metric tons), up 2 percent from last month's forecast and 52 percent greater
than last season, Expected production for California, at 24.5 million boxes, is 38 percent more
than last season. Harvest was 81 percent complete in California by June 1. Harvest is active
in southern coastal areas and virtually complete in other districts. Much of the fruit is
silver and treeripe. Harvest of the Arizona crop of 7.00 million boxes is complete.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1981 A-10 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESS, USDA


Soybean seeding got underway during the first week of May and by the end of the month was 46
percent complete, but lagging the 64 percent average. Progress in all major producing States
except Louisiana, Minnesota, and Nebraska was slower than normal. Indiana growers were 60
percentage points behind schedule; Ohio, 55 points; Illinois, 39 points; Michigan, 23 points;
Missouri, 22 points; Kentucky, 17 points; and Georgia, 15 points slower than normal. Wet
conditions throughout the season have delayed planting progress.

Grain sorghum planting in the seven major producing States advanced to 54 percent by the end
of May, 2 points behind average. Progress was 10 points behind average in Kansas, MisSouri, and
Nebraska, but 15 points ahead of average in Oklahoma. In Texas, 90 percent of the crop was
planted, 27 percent was headed, and 6 percent was turning color.

Spring wheat seeding got off to an early start and advanced rapidly. At the beginning of
May, 77 percent of the acreage had been planted, well ahead of the average of 49 percent.
Seeding neared completion by the end of the month and 91 percent of the acreage had emerged.
Beneficial rains fell on growing areas during the latter part of the month and helped relieve
dry conditions and promote growth, but more is needed.

Cotton planting progressed ahead of normal and by the end of the month was 88 percent
finished. Squaring was underway on 10 percent of the acreage. Hail damaged some stands in

Texas and replanting was necessary.

Rice seeding was 68 percent complete at the beginning of May and was virtually finished by
the end of the month; 87 percent of the acreage had emerged.

Peanut planting neared completion in Southeastern areas by the end of May, and early planted
fields were blooming. Plants were in fair to good condition. In Texas, 39 parcent of the crop
was planted by the end of the month, compared with the average of 33 percent.

WINTER WHEAT: Production of winter wheat is forecast at a record high 2.01 billion bushels (54.8

million metric tons) based on June 1 conditions. This is 6 percent greater than
last year's crop of 1.89 billion bushels (53.5 million metric tons) but 3 percent tess than last
month's forecast. A record high acreage for harvest in 1981 and the third highest yield of
record resulted in the record production forecast. Farmers are expected to harvest 56.8 million
acres (23.0 million hectares) for grain this season, 10 percent more than last year. Area for
harvest is down 1.02 million acres from the estimate of a month earlier.

Yield is forecast at 35.5 bushels per harvested acre, compared with 36.8 bushels last year
and 36.0 bushels forecast last month.

Winter wheat was in fair to mostly good condition during the month of May. Wheat maturity
advanced to the heading stage in all major producing States by June 1, ranging from 5 percent
headed in Montana to 100 percent headed in California, Missouri and Oklahoma. In the 15 major
producing States, heading was 84 percent complete, well ahead of last year's 68 percent. Many
fields were turning color and harvesting was underway in southern areas. Of the 15 major States,
California harvest was 8 percent finished, Oklahoma was 5 percent complete and the Texas crop
was 9 percent harvested by June 1.

The extent of freeze damage to wheat in Kansas is still uncertain; the effect was partially
masked by cool, wet weather. Forecast area for harvest is down 700 thousand acres from the May
1 estimate. Hail in the southwest and south central areas of Kansas thinned stands that escaped
freeze damage. The Oklahoma harvest was slowed by wet weather but will soon be in full swing.
Some wind and hail damage was reported in west central, central and south central Oklahoma
localities. Indicated area for harvest in Oklahoma is down 200 thousand acres from a month ago.
Wet field conditions also interrupted the Texas wheat harvest but the rains improved yield
prospects in some localities. Some stands in the south central Texas, and the High Plains were
damaged or destroyed by hail.

MAY WEATHER SUMMARY

May rains were well above normal in most parts of the Nation. After the dry summer of 1980
and dry winter of 1980-81, many areas suffered from drought. The unusually wet month of May
helped make up the moisture shortages accumulated over the past summer and winter. The month
was rather cool and some freeze damage occurred in the central Plains, in Michigan and New
York. Severe weather plagued many parts of the Nation. Tornadoes, hail, and torrential rains
damaged crops and destroyed homes. The rapid succession of storms through the Corn Belt kept
fields wet and delayed planting. Flooding eroded some fields and destroyed early planted corn.
Although all of the Country had some rain, amounts were very light in much of the northern
Plains, the Southwest, and parts of the Southeast. These areas continued very dry.

The first 3 days of May were dominated by a high pressure system extending southward from
central Canada to the central Plains. Freezing temperatures reached into North Dakota and
Minnesota on the first of May and moved eastward to New England by May 3. Clearing weather
moved eastward with the high pressure, but a cold front followed, producing showers and
thunderstorms from southern Texas to Montana,

FIRST WEEK...The cold front moved eastward, causing widespread showers and thunderstorms from
the Plains to the East Coast. Later in the week another complex storm system moved out of the
central Rockies and brought severe weather and heavy rain to the central Plains and then to the
southern Plains and eastward. The frequent rain was welcome in areas suffering from drought but
left fields through the Corn Belt too wet to work . Cold air from Canada plunged southward
after the severe weather and brought freezing temperatures to parts of the winter wheat area in
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska where some of the wheat was beginning to flower.

SECOND WEEK...Storm systems moved through the Rockies and intensified in the central Plains
in rapid succession, Severe weather was frequent east of the Rockies and moderate to heavy rain
produced surplus moisture in many fields. Unseasonably cold air spread aver much of the Nation,
slowing plant germination and growth, Deep snow accumulated in the Rockies.

THIRD WEEK...An intense storm occurred in the central Plains, causing more heavy rain and
assuring ample moisture for the winter wheat but bringing widespread severe weather in the form
of thunderstorms, tornadoes, hail, and floods. Tornadoes were especially frequent along a line
from central Texas to Iowa. The rain moved eastward through the Carolinas where drought
conditions had existed for months. Thunderstorms brought some relief from dry weather in
central and southern Florida. Welcome rains, which covered most of the dry northern Plains,
improved spring wheat germination and growth.

FOURTH WEEK...The rapid succession of storm systems moving onto the West Coast, through the
Rockies and eastern United States produced some precipitation in nearly all of the Nation.
Heavy rain resulted in flooding in south central Texas, Arkansas, and southern Indiana. The
moderate to heavy rain in the eastern Corn Belt continued to delay corn and soybean planting.
The spring wheat areas in the northern Plains generally recorded good rains, but more wil) be
needed for continued growth of crops. More rain fell in the Carolinas and southeast, further
relieving the long dry spell. Temperatures warmed during the week and averaged a Tittle above
normal in most areas of the Nation. (Prepared by NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility)

PLANTING PROGRESS

Rain and wet fields in the eastern Corn Belt delayed planting activities during much of May,
but in other areas, planting progressed on schedule. Beneficial rains fell in the spring wheat
areas and in the South and East, helping relieve dry conditions and providing needed moisture
for growing crops,

At the beginning of May, corn planting was 24 percent complete, 2 points slower than
average. By the end of the month, planting advanced ta 87 percent finished, 5 points later than
average. Progress was 45 points behind normal in Indiana and 30 points behind in Ohio where
rains have delayed fieldwork during most of the planting season. Further south, in Georgia and
North Carolina, growers finished planting by the end of the month. Much needed rain fell in
southern and eastern areas at the end of the month, helping to alleviate dry conditions and
promote growth in recently seeded fields. Fair to mostly good stands were reported. Many
fields were silking in the South.

BARTLETT PEARS: Production of Bartlett pears in California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast
at 585 thousand tons (531 thousand metric tons), down 4 percent from the 1980
crop and 1 percent less than in 1979.

California's production is expected to be 360 thousand tons, 7 percent less than last year
but 1 percent above 1979. The set appears about the same as last year with good sizes in
prospect. Some light frost damage occurred in the upper Sacramento Valley.

Oregon production is forecast at 90.0 thousand tons, 13 percent more than the 1980 crop and
6 percent above 1979. Favorable weather during bloom and pollination resulted in a heavy set.

Production for Washington is forecast at 135 thousand tons, 6 percent below last year and 12
percent less than in 1979. Weather was not conducive to good pollination and some frost damage
occurred during April.

PAPAYAS: June fresh papaya production for Hawaii is forecast at 5.61 milllion pounds (2540
metric tons), 13 percent more than May and a sharp increase of 40 percent from the
Same month a year ago. The outlook for the rest of the summer continues to be for heavy, fresh
Production with the output for July and August expected to top 5 million pounds in each of these
months. September production will dectine 4 percent from both the July and August levels.

Fresh production in May, estimated at 4.95 million paunds (2250 metric tons}, was off 6 per-
cent from April's record output, but was 21 percent greater than a year ago and fractionally
less than the record high 1978 production for May.

There were 2050 acres (830 hectares) harvested during the month of May, 1 percent above a
year earlier.

Production to date for the first 5 months of 1981 was 74 percent above last year.

ORANGES: The Nation's orange crop is expected to total 239 million boxes (9.29 million metric

tons), virtually the same as the May 1 forecast but 13 percent less than was harvested
jn 1979-80. The crop in Florida is placed at 169 million boxes, the same as the May 1 forecast
and 18 percent less than last season. The California crop, unchanged from the May 1 forecast at
63.0 million boxes is 6 percent larger than last season. Arizona's crop is forecast at 2.70
miltion boxes, 5 percent below the May ? forecast and 23 percent less than 1979-80.

Harvest of oranges in the U.S. was 86 percent complete this June 1, compared with 84 percent
on June 1, 1980. Harvest of early season varieties in Florida is complete while 88 percent of
the Valencia crop was harvested by June 1. In California, harvest of Navels was 94 percent
complete and 15 percent of the Valencia crop was picked by June 1. The Arizona Valencia crop
was 94 percent harvested by June 1. Texas harvest was complete.

The June 1 U.S. orange forecast has deviated from the final production by an average of 2.52
million boxes over the past 10 seasons, ranging from 210 thousand boxes in 1973-74 to 7.60
million boxes in 1976-77.

CITRUS HARVEST AND UTILIZATION: By June 1, 206 mittion boxes of oranges had been harvested--86

percent of the crop, compared with 84 percent on June 1, 1980.
Processors had used 82 percent of the oranges harvested by June 1 this year, compared with 83
percent a year earlier.

Grapefruit harvest was 93 percent complete by June 17 compared with 94 percent on the same
date last year. Processors used 60 percent of the 1980-81 crop harvested by June 1 compared
with 62 percent of that harvested by June 1 last year.

Lemon harvest was 85 percent complete on June 1 compared with 82 percent on June 1 1980.
Processors had used 67 percent of the crop harvested by June 1 this year, compared with 50
percent on the same date last year.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1980-81 crop projection for the Florida FCOJ yield

4s estimated at 1.21 gallons per box at 43.4 degree
brix equivalent. The final yield for the 1979-80 crop was 1.39 gallons per box at 43.4 degree

Production in California, the leading spring producing State, is forecast at 10.3 million
cwt, unchanged from last month but 17 percent above the 1980 crop. Digging in the Kern District
is very active and supplies of Centennials are increasing. Movement through May is running
about one third greater than last year.

The Hastings, Florida crop forecast remains at 5.04 million cwt, 44 percent above the 1980
crop. Harvest is in full swing and should be practically complete by mid-June if weather
permits. Size and quality of this year's crop are excellent. Yields are at record levels.

Crop prospects improved during May in Alabama and North Carolina. Alabama production is
forecast at 720 thousand cwt, 14 percent more than 1980. Production in North Carolina is
expected to total 2.06 million cwt, 13 percent above 1980. The Arizona forecast, at 1.46
million cwt, is unchanged from May 1 and up 14 percent from last year.

Prospects in Texas declined during May. Production is now estimated at 840 thousand cwt, 4
percent above 1980. In the Rio Grande Valley harvest is nearly complete and yields reflect the
wet, poor growing season. Wet conditions alsa plagued producers in the Winter-Garden area.
Drier weather is needed as heavy rains in late May saturated fields. In the Knox-Haskell area
conditions have been favorable for growth and harvest is expected to begin in mid-June. Drier
weather is now needed to prevent development of diseases and allow harvest to proceed on
schedule.

SWEETPOTATOES - 1980 REVISED: Production of sweetpotatoes in 1980 fell to a record low 11.0

million cwt (497 thousand metric tons}. This is 18 percent less
than in 1979 and 16 percent below the 1978 production. Estimated area harvested at only 102
thousand acres (41.4 thousand hectares), is down 11 percent from 1979 and is a record low.
Average yield at 107 cwt per acre is 10 cwt below both 1979 and 1978. Compared with 1979,
production for 1980 was down in every State primarily because of reduced acreages and drought
curtailed yields in the southeastern States.

SUGAR CROPS-1980 REVISED: Production of sugarbeets in 1980 totaled 23.5 million tons (21.3

million metric tons), up 7 percent from the 22.0 million tons (20.0
million metric tons) produced jn 1979. Growers harvested 1.19 million acres (481 thousand
hectares) in 1980, 6 percent more than in 1979. The average yield at 19.8 tons per acre was 0.2
ton above the 1979 yield.

Sugarcane processed for sugar totaled 25.6 million tons (23.2 million metric tons), 1 percent
above 1979. Sugarcane for sugar was harvested from 684 thousand acres (277 thousand hectares)
and yields averaged 37.4 tons per acre.

Total sugar production (raw value) was 5.81 million tons (5.27 million metric tons), up 4
percent from the 1979 output of 5.58 million tons (5.06 million metric tons). Sugar (raw value)
produced from cane totaled 2.73 million tons (2.47 million metric tons). Sugarbeets sliced from
the 1980 crop totaled 22.9 million tons (20.8 million metric tons). Sugar (raw value)
production from the 1980 slice amounted to 3.08 million tons (2.80 million metric tons), up 7
percent from 1979.

SWEET CHERRIES: Production of sweet cherries in the six western States is forecast at 113
thousand tons (103 thousand metric tons), 17 percent less than last year and 24
percent below the 1979 crop.

California's crop is forecast at 34.0 thousand tons, 23 percent less than a year ago.
Harvest, which began about May 15, was interrupted by rain which caused splitting and mold.

In Oregon, production is forecast at 36.0 thousand tons, 9 percent above last year. Set is
about the same as last year's crop but losses from split fruit during the 1980 season reduced
prospects later in the year.

The Washington crop is estimated at 35.0 thousand tons, 33 percent less than the previous
season and 48 percent less than the 1979 crop. Adverse weather during pollination resulted in a
very spotty crop in the Yakima area. The North Central area has a good crop. High quality is
expected.

TART CHERRIES: The three western States of Colorado, Oregon and Utah expect tart cherry produc-

tion to total 19.4 million pounds (8800 metric tons), 3 percent less than last
year and 13 percent less than 1979. Compared with last year, the production forecast is down 10
percent in Oregon, and 5 percent in Colorado. In Utah, is unchanged from last year, In Utah
fruit set was generally heavy but reduced by frost in a few areas. Spotty set was responsible
for the reduction in the Oregon crop and some freeze damage in the Canyon City area reduced
prospects in Colorado.

BLUEBERRIES: Growers in North Carolina expect to harvest 6.30 million pounds of blueberries

this year, 5 percent more than the 1980 crop but 21 percent less than in 1979.
Dry weather and scattered frost in April reduced crop prospects. Harvest got underway the last
week of May and will be in full swing during June. Berry quality is reported good. The first
forecast for other States estimating blueberries (Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, Oregon, and
Washington) will be published in the Crop Production Report released July 10, 1981.

MINT FOR OIL: Peppermint acreage for harvest in 1981 is estimated at 68.0 thousand acres (27.5

thousand hectares), down 16 percent from the 81.3 thousand acres (32.9 thousand
hectares) harvested in 1980. Oregon acreage is expected to decline 20 percent, Washington, 28
percent and Idaho, 22 percent. Acreage for harvest is unchanged from 1980 in Indiana, but up 11
percent in Wisconsin, partially offsetting the overall decrease.

Spearmint growers expect to harvest 29.5 thousand acres (11.9 thousand hectares) in 198),
‘including 2300 acres in Oregon which is new in the estimating program. Total acreage for
harvest (excluding Oregon) is down 13 percent from the 31.3 thousand acres (12.7 thousand
hectares) harvested in 1980. Acreage for harvest in Washington, the largest producer, is down
21 percent.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: The June 1 pasture and range feed condition for the 48 contiguous States

was 80 percent, 1 point less than a year ago and 3 points below the
1970-79 average for the date. Conditions were less favorable than a year earlier in 29 States,
better in 17 States and equal to last year in 2 States. Compared with last month, conditions
improved in 27 States, remained the same in 5 and declined in 16 States. Pasture condition
ranged from very poor to fair in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska, eastern Montana and parts of
Iowa. Pastures in the Southeastern and Southwestern States also continued in poor to fair
condition. Grasslands deteriorated in these areas under dry conditions which persisted during
most of May. Showers fell in many of the dry areas at the end of the month but more moisture is
still needed for recovery. In most other areas of the U.S., ample moisture and warm weather has
encouraged excellent pasture growth and pastures are rated in good to excellent condition.
However, slightly less favorable pasture conditions were reported this month than last in Iowa,
Wisconsin, Michigan and parts of New England.

POTATOES: Spring potato production in the U.S. is forecast at 20.8 million cwt (941 thousand

metric tons), up 1 percent from the May 1 forecast, 22 percent above last year's
record low output, but 3 percent below the 1979 crop. Area intended for harvest, at 78.4
thousand acres (31.7 thousand hectares), is unchanged from last month but 8 percent above the
3980 record low. Expected yield at 265 cwt per acre, is 2 cwt above May 1 and 30 cwt above the
1980 yield. If realized, the 1981 yield will be the highest of record.

PEACHES: Production of peaches is forecast at 2.90 billion pounds (1.32 million metric tons), 6
percent less than last season and 2 percent below the 1979 harvest.

The nine Southern States are expected to produce 667 million pounds, 2 percent more than
Jast month's forecast and 13 percent above last year. The crop in South Carolina is placed at
380 million pounds, 7 percent above 1980. Development is generally good in most areas. Harvest
began in mid-May. Sizes of early harvested fruit were reduced in a few localities where
irrigation was not available; however, early June rainfall should bring size of fruit remaining
to be harvested up to normal.

The Georgia crop is forecast at 135 million pounds, 13 percent more than last year.
Scattered showers during the last half of the month relieved dry conditions and aided sizing.

The Virginia crop is forecast at 30.0 million pounds, down 6 percent from 1980,

The New Jersey crop is forecast at 80.0 milion pounds, 27 percent less than 1980.
Conditions are extremely varied with some blocks needing thinning while other blocks have no
fruit.

The California freestone peach crop is forecast at 480 million pounds, up 2 percent from
1980, while the Clingstone peach crop at 1.34 billion pounds was down 10 percent. Freestone
peaches are smaller than average and about 16 percent of the crop had been picked by June 1.
The Washington crop of freestone peaches is forecast at 18.0 million pounds, down 42 percent
from 1980.

Note: A special report on the California Clingstone peach crop will be released June 25, 1981
at 3.00 P.M. ET, by the Crop Reporting Board and the California Crop and Livestock Reporting
Service. The report will be based on an objective measurement survey now being conducted and

RELIABILITY OF JUNE 1 WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST

The winter wheat production forecast in this report is based on mail and
objective yield surveys conducted just prior to June 1. Acreage for harvest
is the planted acreage published in December 1980, adjusted for abandonment on
the basis of information provided by producers about June 1, 1981. The yield
estimate is based on counts and measurements from a probability sample of
wheat fields and on mail reports from farmers. Both surveys are subject to
sampling and non-sampling errors common to all surveys. This production
forecast is also subject to change due to growing conditions that may affect
the crop after June 1.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the June 1 winter wheat
Production forecast, the “Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviation
between the June 1 production forecast and the final estimate as a percentage
of the final estimate, and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the
1961-1980 twenty-year period; the square root of the average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error". Probability statements can be
made concerning expected errors 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 year forecasts.

The “Root Mean Square Error“ for the June 7 winter wheat production
forecast is 5.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast of 2.01 billion bushels will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 5.9 percent or approximately 119 million
bushels. Chances are 9 out 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 10.2 percent or approximately 205 million bushels.
Differences between the June 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 88 million bushels, ranging
from 6 million in 1972 to 174 million bushels in 1979. The June 1 forecast
was below the final estimate in 6 years and above in 4 years.
