APRIL WEATHER SUMMARY

Very dry weather prevailed over both the east and west coasts. Water
storage facilities in the East caused some areas to experience economic
difficulties. Parts of the mid-Atlantic coast and southern New England
reached extreme drought conditions. Other dry areas were from eastern North
Dakota through western South Dakota, the northern Rockies, and southwestern
Texas. Showers and thunderstorms produced above normal rain from the southern
Rockies and Plateau to the northern Mississippi Valley, southern Texas and
southern Florida. Temperatures averaged near normal from Texas through the
Southeast but the rest of the Nation was warmer than normal. Average
temperatures were 6-8 degrees warmer than normal from the Southwest to the
northern Plains and eastward to the mid-Atlantic States. (Prepared by
NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)

APRIL FIELDWORK

Wetness delayed Jand preparation and seeding throughout the Corn Belt
during most of April. However, Corn Belt farmers were able to enter fields
the last ten days of the month. Land preparation progressed well in the
Southeast but dryness slowed planting and prevented seeds from germinating.
Some southeastern farmers replanted corn as a result of the dryness. The lack
of moisture plagued the east coast States most of April. Moisture was
adequate over the rest of the Nation except for a few dry spots along the West
Coast, Central Plains, and Mountain States.

Corn planting, at the beginning of April was limited mostly to the
southern States. Corn seeding advanced rapidly across the South during the
month and neared completion in most southern States as the month ended. By
April 28th, 22 percent of the acreage had been seeded in the 17 major
producing States compared with 6 percent last year and 11 percent average.
Seeding progress was ahead of schedule in virtually all States. merged corn
was mostly fair, but moisture was badly needed in the Southeast.

As April drew to a close, cotton producers in the 14 major producing
States had seeded 32 percent of the cotton acreage, slightly ahead of last
year and the average. Planting was ahead of,.or equaled, the norm in almost
all States. Wetness impeded planting in Arkansas while dryness slowed
planting in Georgia during April. High winds with blowing sand damaged young
cotton plants in Arizona and California near the end of April.

Sorghum planting was limited to the southern States but moved into
Missouri the last week of April. During most of April excessive moisture in
Texas held back sorghum planting, but by April 28th producers had seeded 63
percent of the acreage, 2 points behind normal.

Rice ended the month 41 percent seeded, which was about normal. Seeding
was 3] points behind normal in Texas, but 30 points ahead of normal in
Mississippi. Twenty-one percent of the rice seeded had emerged, equaling last
year, but 3 points behind the average.

Soybean planting became more widespread across the Southeast; Oklahoma and
Missouri had seeded a few acres by the end of the month. Soybeans were 5 and
6 percent seeded in Missouri and Georgia, respectively.

Spring wheat seeding advanced to 52 percent complete, 16 points ahead of
normal during April, ranging from 44 percent in Minnesota to 88 percent
complete in South Dakota. Planting was ahead of normal in all major producing
States, except Idaho, which lagged 14 points behind normal.

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1985 B-7 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


POTATOES: Spring potato production fs forecast at 24.3 million cwt (1.10 mil-

lion metric tons}, up 2 percent from last year and one-third above
two years ago. With harvest in it's early stages, yield prospects improved 3
percent during April. The average U.S. yield is forecast at 267 cwt per acre,
8 cwt below the record high set last year, but 37 cwt above two .years ago.
Area for harvest remains at 91.1 thousand acres (36.9 thousand hectares), 5
percent above last year, and 14 percent above two years ago.

In California, harvest has begun with light digging and should be in full
swing by mid-May. Quality is variable. Arizona harvest began the first week
in May and quality has been good so far.

In Texas, the Rio Grande Valley harvest began around mid-April with light
yields, which are expected to pick up. In the Knox-Haskel] area, the crop was
hurt earlier by excessive moisture and hail but is expected to come back with
good yields. In the San Antonio-Winter Garden area, harvest should begin in
mid-May.

Florida harvest is underway with good weather conditions reported. About
10 percent of the digging is done in the Hastings area and is near completion
in other areas except for the Panhandle. Early yields are better than
expected. Harvest should pick up in May and continue through June. In North
Carolina, a freeze in April and dry weather hurt spring potatoes, although
growers say timely rainfall would be very beneficial.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: The pasture and range feed condition on
May 1 for the 48 contiguous States was 83

percent, 8 points higher than May 1 last year and 4 points higher than the
1974-83 average for the date. Conditions were more favorable than last year
in 27 States, less. in 18, and equal in three States. The warmer than normal
temperatures in April were beneficial for pasture growth. Moisture supplies
have been generally adequate, however a few areas of the country could use
more rain to promote pasture growth. Northeastern Montana and northwestern
North Dakota continue to be plagued by Yast year's drought and extreme drought
conditions continue to exist in that area. The lack of rainfall in the
southeastern U.S. caused the condition of pastures to continue to decline.
The pasture condition in these States is mostly in the poor to fair range,
however, conditions in Delaware, Georgia and South Carolina are in the very
poor range. Adequate rainfall] was received in most areas of Texas during
April, allowing the pasture and range condition to improve, however, the Texas
panhandle is still in the very poor range.

HAY STOCKS ON-FARMS: May 1 stocks on-farms totaled 26.9 million tons (24.4

million metric tons), up 33 percent from May 1, 1984.
Disappearance January through April totaled 73.8 million tons (66.9 million
metric tons) compared with 69.1 million tons (62.7 million metric tons) during
the comparable period last year. May 1 stocks represented 18 percent of 1984
hay production; May 1, 1984 stocks were 14 percent of the 1983 production.

TOBACCO 1984 REVISED Production of all tobacco totaled 1.73 billion pounds

{784 thousand metric tons) for 1984, 21 percent above
1983. Yield, at 2180 pounds per acre, was 369 pounds above 1983. Area
harvested, at 793 thousand acres (321 thousand hectares), was up fractionally
from a year earlier. Much of the increase in production occurred in the
Burley crop. However, production of most types increased.

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1985 A-10 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA




WINTER WHEAT: Production is forecast at 1.97 billion bushels (53.7 million

metric tons) as of May 1, 1985. This is down 4 percent from
the 1984 production of 2.06 billion bushels (56.1 million metric tons).
Growers expect to harvest 48.5 million acres (19.6 million hectares) for
grain, 6 percent less than last year's 51.5 million acres (20.8 million
hectares). The indicated harvested area is 84 percent of planted. Farmers
harvested 81 percent of the 1984 planted acres. Yield per harvested acre is
placed at 40.7 bushels. If realized, this will be the second highest yield of
record.

As of May 1, conditions had been favorable in the major producing States.
In the southeast lack of moisture continues. Moisture shortages slowed growth
in the northern Mountains and northern Plains.

ORANGES: All oranges are forecast at 159 million boxes (6.12 million metric
tons) for 1984-85, fractionally higher than the April 1 forecast,
but 6 percent below the 1983-84 season. The Florida crop is 103 million
boxes, unchanged from Apri? 1, and 12 percent less than last season.
Production of early and mid-season oranges in Florida was 55.0 million boxes«
Harvest is complete. The Florida Valencia forecast remains at 48.0 million
boxes, 2 percent more than 1983-84, Harvest is 66 percent complete. The
California Navel forecast is 26.7 million boxes, down 1 percent from April 1,
and 20 percent less than the 1983-84 crop. As of May 1, 97 percent of
California's Navel crop was harvested. California's Valencias forecast is

27.0 million boxes, up 4 percent from April 1 and 80 percent above last
season's small crop.

Arizona's crop forecast is 2.45 million boxes, 4 percent below last month,
but 36 percent more than last season. The Arizona all orange harvest is 91
percent complete.

Changes in U.S. orange production between the May 1 forecast and final
production averaged 3.95 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from
a low of 300 thousand boxes in the 1977-78 season to a high of 7.60 million
boxes in the 1976-77 season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: Florida's FCOJ yield for the 1984-85

season is forecast at 1.36 gallons
per box at 42.0 degrees Brix equivalent. The yield forecast is an estimate of
the season average which will be reported at the end of the season by the
Florida Citrus Processors Association. The FCOJ yield projection last month
was 1.36 gallons per box. The final season average yield was 1.28931 gallons
per box for 1983-84 and 1.48305 gallons per box for 1982-83 at 42.0 degrees
Brix equivalent.

CITRUS HARVEST AND UTILIZATION: By May 1, 118 million boxes of oranges were
harvested, 74 percent of the U.S. crop, com-
pared with 135 million boxes or 80 percent on May 1, 1984. Processors had

used 73 percent of the oranges harvested by May 1, 1985, compared with 74
percent as of a year earlier.

Grapefruit harvest totaled 47.7 million boxes or 85 percent complete by
May 1 compared with 45.2 million boxes or 85 percent harvested by May 1 last
year. Processors had used 61 percent of the total crop harvested by May 1,
compared with 54 percent a year earlier.

Lemon harvest totaled 25.4 million boxes at the first of the month, 99
percent complete, compared with 16.7 million boxes or 79 percent as of the
same date last season. Processors had utilized 58 percent of the total crop,
compared with 49 percent by May 1 last year.

RELIABILITY OF MAY 7 WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST

The winter wheat production forecast in this report is based on mail and
objective yield surveys conducted just prior to May 1. The mail surveys
provided information on abandonment to date and condition of the crop which
was used to estimate acres for harvest. Yield estimates are based on counts
and measurements in a probability sample of wheat fields and on the condition
of the crop as reported by farmers. Both surveys are subject to sampling and
non-sampling errors common to al] surveys. This production forecast is also
subject to change due to growing conditions that may affect the crop after
May 1.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the May 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 May 1 production forecast and the final estimate as a percentage
of the final estimate, and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the
1965-1984 twenty-year period; the square root of the average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error". Probability statements can be
made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's
forecast are not different from those influencing recent years.

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the May 1 winter wheat production
forecast is 6.5 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast of 1.97 billion bushels will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 6.5 percent or approximately 128 million
bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 11.2 percent or approximately 221 million bushels.
Differences between the May 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 86.0 million bushels, ranging
from 10 million to 210 million bushels. The May 1 forecast has been below the
final estimate 9 times and above 1 time. This does not imply that the May 1
winter wheat forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final
production.

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1985 B-8 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


FLORIDA GENERAL CITRUS: The month of April was dry, mild, and windy in
Florida's citrus groves. Growers and caretakers applied supplemental moisture
using all types of irrigation equipment. This year's bloom cycle was complete
by early April, which was a few weeks earlier than normal. Salvage harvest of
freeze-damaged Valencia oranges was generally finished by early April, with
most of the remaining late type oranges showing very little damage from the
late January freezes. Movement of both white and pink grapefruit for both the
fresh and processed markets was strong the first of April, but slowed by the
end of the month as supplies were running low. Harvest of Temples during
April has been restricted primarily to processed products due to freeze damage
on the few remaining crops. Caretakers have been very busy applying post-bloom
sprays, cultivating, fertilizing and watering young resets.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya output for May is forecast at 4.20 million pounds
(1910 metric tons), up 17 percent from April, but 30 percent below
fresh utilization of May a year ago. Production is expected to continue
increasing to 4.50 million pounds (2040 metric tons) in June, decline to 3.90
million pounds (1770 metric tons) in July and increase slightly for August.

April fresh production is estimated at 3.60 million pounds (1630 metric
tons), off 47 percent from April last year and below earlier expectations.
Total crop area declined in April to 3500 acres (1420 hectares), of which 2890
acres (1170 hectares) were harvested, 4 percent less than March.

PEACHES: The first forecast in the nine Southern States for 1985 is 369
million pounds (167 thousand metric tons), down 52 percent from last
year but 29 percent above the freeze-damaged 1983 crop. Because of winter
freezes, smaller crops than last year are expected in all States, except
Texas. Texas generally escaped the freezes and conditions are good with no
rain or hail damage. Freezes in January, March and April damaged all
varieties in the South Carolina Piedmont and early varieties in the rest of
the State. North Georgia suffered extensive January freeze damage. Two
frosts during bloom did additional damage in north Georgia, and injured some

varieties in central and south Georgia. North Carolina expects no commercial
production because of freeze damage.

SWEET CHERRIES: The first forecast of California sweet cherry production is

for 26.0 thousand tons (23.6 thousand metric tons), 30 per-
cent less than last year but 55 percent more than 1983. Rain and windy
conditions during bloom resulted in spotty pollination. Harvest of Burlat
variety is underway and there are reports of some fruit damage from recent
winds. The Bing harvest will begin in mid-May.

ALMONDS: The first forecast of the 1985 California almond crop is 510 million
pounds (231 thousand metric tons) shelled basis, down 13 percent from
the record high 1984 crop, but 111 percent above the smali 1983 crop.

Where the record-large 1984 crop was described as the year of the Nonpareil
variety, 1985 will be the year of heavy production from pollinator varieties.
Weather during pollination was generally favorable in both the Sacramento and
San Joaquin Valleys, although bloom periods were short for late varieties in
some areas. Kern county received some frost damage in scattered areas. The
number of orchards with crazy top symptoms was reported to be higher than
normal. In late April, a number of older Nonpareil orchards that produced
heavily last season were carrying larger sets of nuts than anticipated. The
number of nuts set by younger Nonpareil orchards did not decline as
significantly from 1984 as the set in older orchards.

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1985 B-1 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA



Flue-cured production of 865 million pounds (392 thousand metric tons) was
5 percent above 1983. Growers harvested 392 thousand acres {159 thousand
hectares), 4 percent less than last year. The average yield of 2206 pounds
per acre was 202 pounds greater than a year earlier. Percentage changes in
Production by types were: type 11, up 17 percent; type 12, up 8 percent; type
13, down 5 percent; and type 14, off 9 percent.

Output of burley tobacco totaled 712 million pounds (323 thousand metric
tons), 48 percent greater than in 1983. Area harvested, at 316 thousand acres
{128 thousand hectares), was 8 percent above the previous year. Yield averaged
2256 pounds per acre compared with 1645 pounds a year ago.

Fire-cured production in 1984 of 56.6 million pounds (25.7 thousand metric
tons} rose 52 percent from a year earlier. Yield per acre, at 2001 pounds,
was 584 pounds above last year.

Oark-air-cured output reached 19.6 million pounds (8880 metric tons), 33
percent above the 1983 total. Yield, at 2118 pounds per acre, was up 521
pounds from 1983 and acres harvested were up 1 percent.

All cigar-type production totaled 36.2 million pounds (16.4 thousand metric
tons), down 2 percent from a year earlier. Filler and wrapper types increased
4 and 3 percent, respectively, but only partially offset an 8 percent decline
in binder types.

COTTON 1984 REVISED: United States cotton production totaled 13.0 million

bales in 1984, up 67 percent from 1983 and 9 percent more
than 1982 production. Upland accounted for 12.9 million bales and American
Pima 130 thousand bales. This is the largest American - Pima crop since 1963
and the second largest of record. Both planted area, at 11.1 million acres
{4.51 million hectares), and harvested area, at 10.4 million acres (4.20
million hectares), exceeded 1983 area by 41 percent. Abandonment in 1984, at
6.9 percent of planted acreage, was near normal. Yield per acre was a record
high 600 pounds, 93 pounds above 1983 and 10 pounds above the previous record
high established in 1982. Growing and harvesting conditions were generally
favorable in the Southeast and Western States, however, in the Delta and South-
west, potentially record setting crops were sharply reduced by poor harvesting
conditions. Heavy rains beginning about mid-October and continuing throughout
the harvest season caused extensive yield and quality losses. Yield losses
resulted from open cotton falling from burrs and the failure of growers to
complete a second picking.

The Bureau of the Census reported 12,544,866 running bales ginned during
the 1984 season compared with 7,504,236 running bales ginned in 1983. Ginnings
in 1984 totaled 12,962,286 equivalent 480-pounds net weight bales.

The preliminary 1984 season average price for lint is 58.7 cents per pound,
down 7.7 cents from 1983. Value of lint and seed for the 1984 crop totaled
$4.17 billion, 40 percent above the previous year.

COTTONSEED: The 1984 cottonseed production, at 5.15 million tons (4.67 million

metric tons), waS 67 percent above 1983 production. Preliminary
season average price is $99.50 per ton compared with $166.00 in 1983. In 1984,
83 percent of cottonseed produced was sold to oi] mills, compared with 80
percent in 1983.

GRAPEFRUIT: The 1984-85 U.S. crop forecast is 56.2 million boxes (2.06 million

metric tons), up 4 percent from April 1, and 5 percent above last
season. Florida's forecast, at 44.4 million boxes, is up 6 percent from
April 1, and 9 percent above last season. The California "Desert Valley"
forecast continues at 4.10 million boxes, 23 percent above 1983-84. The
California "Other Areas" crop forecast remains at 4.00 million boxes, up 3
percent from last season. Arizona's forecast, at 3.70 million boxes, is
unchanged from April 1, up 76 percent from 1983-84.

Picking of Florida grapefruit is 96 percent complete compared with 94
percent a year ago. The California harvest is 37 percent complete compared
with 34 percent on May 1, 1984, Arizona harvest is 59 percent complete
compared with 60 percent complete on May 1 last year.

Changes in the U.S. grapefruit production between the May 1 forecast and
final production averaged 758 thousand boxes over the past ten seasons,

ranging from a low of 140 thousand boxes in the 1983-84 season to a high of
2.15 million boxes in the 1981-82 season.

LEMONS: The forecast in Arizona and California totals 25.6 million boxes

(881 thousand metric tons), up fractionally from the April 1 forecast
and 20 percent above utilized production last season. California's forecast,
at 19.9 million boxes, is down 1 percent from April 1, but is 15 percent above
the 1983-84 utilized production. Arizona's forecast is 5.65 million boxes, up
250 thousand boxes from Jast month and 41 percent above utilized production

last season. Harvest is virtually complete in California and just finished in
Arizona.

TANGELOS: The Florida forecast, excluding K-early citrus fruit, remains at
3.60 million boxes {147 thousand metric tons), the same as last
season. Harvest is now complete.

TEMPLES: The Florida Temple forecast remains at 3.30 million boxes (135 thou-
sand metric tons), 14 percent above last season's crop. Harvest is
nearly complete.

TEXAS GENERAL CITRUS: Grapefruit and orange trees in the Rio Grande Valley

showed a good flush of new growth during April. Orange
trees bloomed well and have a fair to good fruit set. Grapefruit trees had
only a light fruit set. Several factors may have caused this light set on
grapefruit, but the causes are unknown at this time.- Irrigation has been
light to moderate in the area.
