CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Production of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures is estimated at 70.7 million
tons, down 2 percent from 1966, but only slightly less than average. The
decline from a year earlier results primarily from 3 percent less acreage
harvested. Part of the increase in corn and soybean acreage in the Corn
Belt has been at the expense of alfalfa and other hay crops. Weevil con-
tinues to plague alfalfa in many eastern areas -- particularly in the
Atlantic and Southeast regions. Yield is forecast at 2.51 tons per acre,
about the same as the last two years.

The 1967 production of clover, timothy, and clover-grass mixtures is
expected to total 20.7 million tons -~ 2 percent below last year and \
percent below average. Acreage for harvest this year is estimated at 13.0
million acres, compared with 13.2 million acres last year. Yield is fore-
cast at 1.59 tons per acre, just below last year's 1.60 tons, but above
the average of 1.54 tons.

Production of lespedeza hay is forecast at 2.1 million tons. This
is 4 percent below last year's crop and nearly one-third less than average.
Acreage for harvest at 1.6 million acres is below both last year and
average, but the yield of 1.30 tons per acre is above both last year and
average.

Wild hey production is forecast at 8.6 million tons -~ 10 percent
more than last year, but 9 percent below average. The acreage for harvest
in 1967 is estimated at 9.3 million acres, about 2 percent more than in
1966. Yield is forecast at 0.93 tons per acre, compared with 0.86 tons
last year and the average of 0.91 tons.

PEANUTS: The acreage of peanuts planted alone for all purposes is esti-

mated at 1,467,200 acres, nearly 2 percent below the 1,490,300
acres planted in 1966, and 3 percent below average. Basic farm allotments
of acres for nuts are unchanged from last year, but additional acreage has
been reported as entering the Cropland Adjustment Program.

Acreage in the Virginia-Carolina area, at 272,000 acres, is down a
little over 1 percent from last year’s planted acreage of 276,000 acres.
Virginia is expected to have a reduction of 2 percent, with North Carolina
expecting a reduction of only 1 percent. Planted acreage in the Southeast
area, at 771,000 acres, will be 2 percent or 16,000 acres below 1966.
South Carolina and Mississippi are unchanged, while Georgia and Florida
both show a decline of 1 percent. Alabama's planted acreage is expected
to drop 5 percent from last year. The planted acreage in the Southwest
area is expected to total 42k 200 acres, or nearly 1 percent below the
1966 planted acreage of 427,300 acres, Oklahoma remains unchanged, but
Texas and New Mexico both show a decline of 1 percent.

Peanuts were in fair to good condition in all areas by late June.
Virtually all of the peanuts were planted by July 1, with the crop pro-
gressing normally.

In Virginia, considerable acreage was replanted and as of June 1 the
crop was reported to be in the poorest condition and had the poorest
stand, for that date, in several years. However, by late June the crop
had improved somewhat due to the warmer weather.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

QATS: Production of oats in 1967 is estimated et 77k million
bushels, down 3 percent from last year and 19 percent

below averages Yield per harvested acre is expected to be 47.7

bushels, the second highest of record, compared with 44,7

bushels per acre last year and the 5-year average of 45.2 bushels.

Yields per acre are expected to exceed last year in nearly all

regions, except the extreme southeast and the south central.

Development of the oat crop is generally good to excellent.
Most fall seedings wintered well and showed good spring growth
due to adequate soil moisture, Spring planting was slightly
behind normal due to wet soils, mostly in the North Central and
Pacific Northwest States. Although cool weather and excessive
moisture slowed development, especially in Minnesota, Wisconsin,
and Michigan, crop prospects remain bright in these States.
Elsewhere in the important North Central region prospects also
are generally excellent. With adequate rainfall and ample
irrigation water, most western States expect record or near
record high yleldse Development in the West varies widely fram
pre~boot at higher elevations to beginning harvest in the
Southwest.

By July 1, harvest was complete or well advanced in most
southern States. Combining was getting underway slightly later
than usual in Missouri and in southern counties of Indiana and
Tlinois,

The 20,8 million acres seeded to oats lest fall and this
spring is 10 percent less than last year and 26 percent below
averege, The long term downward trend in oat seedings accelerated
this year due to the reduced diverted acreage, where oats often
are planted as a cover crop. Acreage harvested for grain at 16
million, is 9 percent below last year.

OAT STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of old crop oats stored on farms

July 1, 1967 totaled 198 million bushels.
This is 18 percent less than the 241 million bushels held a year
earlier and 17 percent below average. Disappearance of 155
million bushels during the April-June quarter was 25 percent
below & year earlier and 21 percent below average.

APPLES: The first forecast for the Nation's 1967 apple crop is 5,634

— million pounds, 2 percent less than last year's crop and 5 per-
cent below the 1961-65 average. All Eastern States except Rhode Island
expect larger crops than last year, In the Central States prospects are
down in most of the North Central area. Smaller crops are expected in
four of the Western States,

In the Eastern States, production is forecast at 2,484 million
pounds, 14 percent above the 1966 crop, but 10 percent below average. In
New England, warm weather and adequate moisture favored fruit development,
and droppage was generally moderate, Conditions in New York favored fruit
growing and fruit is sizing well, June drop was heavy for Delicious and
Golden Delicious. Greenings have a light bloom and set. A good crop of
McIntosh, Rome Beauty, and Cortland is in prospect, In New Jersey, trees
have a good set of fruit, moisture supplies are good, and the fruit is
sizing well, Pennsylvania's prospects are spotty because of poor weather
for pollination and a generally heavy June drop. However, quality and
size of fruit are expected to be good, In Maryland and Delaware the set
varies by orchard and varieties, Moisture supplies are good,

Virginia's crop is expected to be much larger than last year due to
cool weather and moisture conditions favoring fruit development. The
dune drop was moderate to light. In the important northern Virginia pro~
ducing area, a good crop is expected. In general, the further south and
west the orchards, the lighter the crop. The crop is progressing well in
West Virginia, where moisture is adequate. However, cold, rainy weather
during bloom and pollination was unfavorable for early blooming varieties,
especialy Red Delicious and Stayman, North Carolina's crop has plenty
of moisture and the fruit is sizing rapidly, but some growers are reporting
frost rings.

In the Central States, production is expected to total 1,022 million
pounds, down 7 percent from last year and 14 percent below average. The
condition of Ohio's crop varies: Light crops are in prospect for Red
Delicious, Stayman, and Winesap; medium crops for Jonathan and Cortland;
and good crops for Golden Delicious, Rome Beauty, and Wealthy, In Dlinois,
moisture supplies are good and growing conditions favorable. Most of the
fruit is of excellent quality. Harvest of Lodi and Transparent began in
late June in southern Dlinois and in early July in the central areas. The
Severe winter and cold spring damaged Michigan's crop, and it was further
reduced by an extremely heavy June drop. The expected crop is 15 percent
below last year and average. In Wisconsin, frosts during early bloom, and
cold weather throughout pollination, reduced the crop, Prospects in
Missouri are for a below-average crop--southern areas have a good crop
but in the northern half, freezing temperatures and cold weather in late
April curtailed prospective productions

In the Western States, production is forecast at 2,128 million
pounds, 14 percent less than last year's crop, but 8 percent above
average, Washington's crop is expected to be down from last year but
well above average. The weather during June was good, and fruit sized
well, Red Delicious set well, Although the drop continued longer

POULTRY AND EGGS: The Nation's laying flock produced 5,815 million eggs
during June, up 6 percent from June last year and 8

percent above the 1961-65 average. This is the largest June production

of record. The average number of layers for June is estimated at 308.9

million -- up 5 percent from a year earlier but down seasonally 1 percent

from a month earlier. Production per layer averaged 18.8 eggs during

June 1967 compared with 18.7 eggs during June 1966. Aggregate egg pro-

duction from January through June 1967 totaled 35,396 million eggs compared

with 33,287 million for the year earlier period -- an increase of 6 percent.

June egg production was above a year earlier in all regions and
reached record highs for June in the South Atlantic, South Central, and
Western regions. The largest increases from a year earlier were in the
South Atlantic, South Central, and West -- each up 8 percent.

The number of layers on July 1, 1967 totaled 307.9 million, 5 per-
cent more than a year earlier and 7 percent above the 1961-65 average.
Estimated layers were up & percent in the South Central and Western regions,
up 6 percent in the South Atlantic and East North Central regions, up 3
percent in the West North Central but down 1 percent in the North Atlantic
region.

The rate of lay on July 1 averaged 62.3 eggs per 100 layers -- a
record high for July 1. All regions were up from a year earlier except
the South Central which was down a scant 1 percent. The average rate of
lay during June was up 2 percent in the North Atlantic and South Atlantic
regions, up 1 percent in the West North Central and Western regions and up
slightly in the East North Central region. The South Central region was
down 1 percent from June 1966. Rate of lay per layer during the first 6

months of 1967 totaled 112.2 eggs compared with 110.7 eggs a year earlier.

Until the first of May the crop in the Southeast area was only fair,
due to dry weather and cool temperatures. Since then the warm weather and
showers have resulted in considerable improvement. The crop is now in good
condition.

The peanut crop in the Southwest area is in good condition--some are
reported excellent.

SUGARBEETS: Production of 18.6 million tons of sugarbeets is expected in
1967, 9 percent less than last year and 10 percent below average.

The indicated yield of 16.1 tons per acre is 1.5 tons below last year and

1.0 ton below average.

Although acreage allotments were not set for the 1967 sugarbeet crop,
planted acreage is down 3 percent from last year, when production was
under acreage controls. Growers Planted 1,205,000 acres of beets for sugar
this year compared with 1,240,000 acres in 1966. Based on July 1 conditions,
1,153,000 acres are expected to be harvested, about 1.0 percent below the
preceding year.

Cold, wet weather this spring hampered seeding of sugarbeets. Much
of the crop was planted later than usual and some intended acreage was not
seeded. Late freeze, frost, and wind damage resulted in extensive replanting
in widespread areas. Frequent rains have delayed blocking and thinning and
impeded weed control. In Nebraska -- where almost 90 percent of the crop
was reseeded because of freeze -- heavy rains, flooding, and hail seriously
damaged newly emerged beets. Hail also set the crop back in scattered
localities of other States. Some thin stands and delayed thinning are
reflected in the lower yields.

Crop development, highly variable, is generally behind schedule
because Of wet fields and below-normal temperatures in the spring. Beets
in Ohio are in excellent condition and stands are good. The crop in the
Pacific Northwest is progressing well and prospects are good. In California,
wet weather resulted in a substantially reduced acreage planted to beets
and the crop is late. Most fall-planted beets in the Imperial Valley have
been harvested, with good yields.

Although the crop is late and progress has been slow, in many areas
beets were in fair-to-good condition on July 1. However, seasonal
temperatures are needed for the rest of the growing season if the crop
is to develop properly. Irrigation water supplies are adequate for m-
turing beets in all irrigated beet growing areas. Rainfall eased irrigation
requirements and reliance on stored water has been minimal.

SUGARCANE FOR SUGAR AND SEED: United States production of sugarcane for

sugar and seed is expected to total 25.1
million tons, 3 percent more than last year and 12 percent above average.
This forecast is slightly larger than the record 1964 crop of 25,053,000
tons.

With proportionate shares (acreage allotments) in effect again this
year, Mainland growers plan to harvest 513,000 acres of sugarcane for

July 1 at Medford delayed growth and temporarily stopped spraying. “Other
type" pears in Oregon are estimated at 62,000 tons, 11 percent less than
last year's crop. Prospects are down in Medford area, where some orchards
received hail damage in late May. At Hood River, prospects are generally
good, however, drop was heavier than normal in a few orchards.

Michigan, the largest pear producing State outside the Pacific Coast,
is expecting a crop of 24,000 tons, 31 percent less than last year. ‘The
dune drop was heavier than usual.

GRAPES: The Nation's 1967 grape crop is forecast at 3,274,700 tons, 12
percent less than last season and 10 percent below average.
Prospects for larger crops than last year in New York, Pennsylvania, Arizona,
and Washington are more than offset by smaller crops expected in other grape

producing States.

California's 1967 grape crop is estimted at 2,950,000 tons, 13 per-
cent under last year. Production of raisin varieties is expected to be
down 13 percent from last season, table varieties, 20 percent and wine
varieties, 10 percent. Development of raisin variety grapes in California
is running 2 to 3 weeks later than usual. Hot weather is needed for the
crop to catch up in growth. ‘Table varieties are about two weeks late but
are developing rapidly. The Emperor variety is the mst distresged by
unfavorable spring weather. Tokays are generally in good condition. Har-
vest of Perlettes in the Coachella Valley is past peak and Cardinals are
beginning heavy movement. Harvest of those varieties in Kern County is
expected to start about mid-July. Prospects are for a fairly good crop of
wine grapes in the coastal areas, but growers are concerned by the lateness
of the crop.

In Washington, production is forecast at 10 percent more than the
1966 crop. Favorable weather during bloom resulted in a good set. ‘The
bloom was about two weeks later than normal. Michigan's crop is expected
to be slightly more than half as large as last year, mostly due to winter
kill and hot dry weather in late May. In New York and Pennsylvania,
prospects are for a larger crop than last year.

AVOCADOS: California's 1966-67 production of spring and summer avocados

is forecast at 21,000 tons, 18 percent less than last season.
Harvesting is increasing, and was about one-third complete by the end of
June. Heavy foliage protecting the fruit has limited losses from recent
werm temperatures. The total 1966-67 avocado crop (all varieties) for
California is estimated at 70,000 tons, 21 percent more than last season
and 78 percent greater than the 1960-64 average.

APRICOTS: Production of apricots in California, Washington, and Utah is
forecast at 146,600 tons, This is 12 percent less than last

month's forecast, mostly due to an unusually heavy drop of fruit in

California. The 1967 crop is expected to be 24 percent less than last

year and 27 percent below average. In California, harvest is

active in the Brentwood district, and ia nearly complete in the

Winters district. In Washington, a few early apricots have been

At present, a generally favorable outlook prevails in virtually all
tobacco belts. Earlier, in areas outside the flue-cured belt, a cold,
wet spring retarded plantbed development and resulted in some delay in
transplanting the crop. Transplanting of flue-cured was completed com-
paratively early this season. Cold temperatures, and dry soils in many
tobacco producing areas, dominated conditions during late May and early
June. However, rains in late June enhanced growth and development and
materially improved overall prospects.

Flue-cured production of value (pounds to be sold) is forecast at
1,217 million pounds -- 10 percent above that produced in 1966 but 6
percent below average. Brightleaf acreage for harvest is indicated at
629,600 acres, up 4 percent from the previous season, Adjustments due
to net under-marketing of 1966 quotas under the acreage-poundage program
primarily account for the increased acreage. Early July conditions in-
dicate an average yield of 1,933 pounds per acre for types 11-1 compared
with 1,834 realized from the previous crop.

Burley production will total about 577 million pounds if July 1
prospects hold. About 587 million pounds were produced last year and
‘the average is 643 million. Type 31 growers expect to harvest about
240,700 acres, the same as last year, when acreage dropped to the lowest
level since records started in 1919, A yield of 2,399 pounds per acre
is expected -- second only to last year’s record 2,437 pound yield.

The fire-cured crop is estimated at 45.8 million pounds -- 4 percent
below the T966 outturn. Type 21-23 expected acreage for harvest is
26,000 acres «- 4 percent below the previous year and the smallest since
records began in 1919. A yield of 1,762 pounds per acre is expected.

For Southern Maryland, the outlook is for a 35.2-million pound crop.
Type 32 growers indicate they expect to harvest the crop from about 32,000
acres, 4,000 fewer than last year and the smallest since 1928, A yield
of about 1,100 pounds per acre is expected,

Production of dark air-cured tobacco, types 35-37 combined, is
forecast at 21.9 million pounds, and compares with 22,8 million made

Several factors combined to push sorghum plantings to the highest level
since 1960. Changes in the Feed Grain Program resulted in less diverted
acreage this year. Also, plantings exceeded intentions in the major prod-
ucing Plains area due to relative heavy abandonment of winter wheat.
Following June rains much of this abandoned wheat acreage and some washed-out
corn acreage was reseeded to sorghum.

Weather and soil conditions were generally favorable for planting sorghum
in most Southeast and South Central States. In Kansas planting began in
late April and progressed slowly until mid-May. By mid-June 70 percent of
the State's crop had been planted.

In Texas early conditions have favored growth because moisture has been
short since last fall. Plenting of dry lend acreage wes delayed in the
western two-thirds of the State. However, generally good rains over the
High Plains at mid-June allowed rapid progress in planting. Combining has
started in the Rio Grande Valley and by early July was expected to progress
to the Black Lands.

Recent rains have been ample over virtually the entire Great Plains area
erasing earlier deficits of moisture. Most of this region now has adequate

soil moisture for good germination and early growth in late-plented fields.

Acreage harvested for all purposes is indicated at 18.6 million acres,
17 percent above last year. The first forecast of sorghum grain production
will be published in Auguet.

SORGHUM GRAIN STOCKS ON FARMS: The July 1 stocks of sorghum grein on farne
totaled 84.1 million bushels, 12.7 million
more than a year earlier and 55 percent above average. Stocks in the major
States of Nebraska and Texas accounted for most of the increase from a year ear-
lier. Disappearance during the April-dme quarter was 52.5 million bushels, down
9.8 million from the same period in 1966, but 14 percent more than average.

RICE: The 1967 rice crop is estimatéd at 84.8 million ewt, This is slightly
below last year's record production. Acreage for harvest this year

is 1,966,200 acres compared with 1,967,200 acres in 1966. The 1967 allotment

of 2,000,502 acres was the same as last year.

Yield per acre is currently forecast at 4,315 pounds, down 9 pounds from
last year's record high. However, July 1 crop prospects indicate a yield
equal to or above last year in all States except California and Mississippi.

Rice production in the southern area is forecast at a record 68.8 million
ewt., 4 percent above 1966, the previous high. Seeding was completed without
serious delay this spring. Harvest was underway in Texas by July 1, and
early varieties were nearing maturity in Louisiane.

Condition of the California rice crop is variable. Cold, wet weather
during the spring delayed planting and held back development. Yield per acre,
at 4,500 pounds, is 800 pounds below last year's record high. Production is
indicated at 16.0 million cwt.compared with 19.1 million cwt. in 1966.

OROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Indicated production of ail hay is 2 percent less than last year
and 1 percent below average. The decline from last year resulted from
less acreage for harvest, as the prospective yield per acre is the
Same as & year ago.

Farm Stocks Up

Farm stored feed grains totaled 44.1 million tons on July 1, slightly
more than a year earlier but 6 percent below average for the date. Dis-
appearance from farms during the April-June quarter was less than last
year but above average.

Farm stocks of food grains were up 12 percent from last July and 35
percent above average for the date. Wheat stocks were 12 percent greater
than a year earlier but farm holdings of rye were down 9 percent.

Record July 1 soybean stocl:s on farms were nearly 44 times last
year's low holdings, but flaxseed producers had 59 percent less stocks.

Deciduous Fruit Crop Smaller

The indicated production of total deciduous fruits is 11 percent below
both last year and average. Production of prunes and plums is expected
to be above last year, but production of all other deciduous fruits is
expected to be equal to or less than a year earlier.

Apple production is down two percent, with smaller crops in the
Central and Western Stetes offsetting an expected increase in the Eastern
States. Peach prospects are down 10 percent because of spring frosts
in Southern and Eastern States and cold, wet spring weather in California.
The tart cherry and grape crops are both down 12 percent. Pear pro-
duction is forecast 41 percent less than last year. Generally, there
is adequate moisture or irrigation water for the deciduous fruits in ell
areas.

Tonnege of almonds, filberts, and walmuts is expected to be 13 per-
eent less than last year but 10 percent above average.

Citrus production during the 1966-67 season is 32 percent above last
year and 57 percent above average. Production of all kinds of citrus
fruits is above last year.

Fresh Summer Vegetables About the Same - More for Processing

Estimated production of summer vegetables for fresh market reported
tp date is about the same as last year but 1 percent less than 1965.
Larger production is expected for summer cabbage, celery, sweetcorn,
lima beans, cauliflower, escarole, garlic and early summer onions. Lower
production 1s expected for summer carrots, cucumbers, sep beans, eggplant,
lettuce and spinach, and early summer tomatoes.

Acreage in 1967 of nine vegetable crops planted for commercial pro~
cessing totals 7 percent more than the 1966 acreage.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

production in Florida and Texes was 2,979,000 hundred-
weight, up 4 percent from earlier expectations. the 1966 production was
4,924,000 hundredweight.

The production of the 1967 seasonal groups, forecast to date (winter
through lete sumer) is 73,856,000 hundredweight. Comperable totals were
79,115,000 in 1966 and 74,360,000 hundredweight in 1965.

SHBETPOTATOES: The 1967 sweetpotato production is estimated at 13,189,000
hundredweight, 4 percent below 1966 and 15 percent less

than in 1965. ‘The 1967 acreage, at 149,400, is a record low. Declines

in ecreages from 1966 are indicated for most States, except North Carolina,

Georgia, Oklahome, and Kansas where acreages are unchanged.

The yield per acre continues to rise as acreage becomes more con-
centrated into commercial operations.

Weather conditions during transplanting were cool but generally
favorable. Rains in late June and early July, except Louisiana, benefited
development. In Louisiana, moisture was short on July 1. Harvest is
underway in a few scattered localities, but generally will not be in full
swing until September.

PASTURES: Heavy rains, widespread during June, improved pasture con~
ditions in many areas of the Nation. Reported pasture con~

dition on July 1 averaged 86 percent of normal compared with 79 percent

on July 1, 1966 and the 1961-65 average of 82 percent. In several States--

mostly in the West North Central and Western regions~--pastures made ex~

cellent recovery from a relatively poor condition a month earlier. In

a few States, the July 1 pasture condition was the best in many years.

Colorado, for instance, had an average pasture condition of 94 percent of

normal--the highest July 1 condition since 1949. July 1 pasture condi-

tion in Uteh was 95 percent of normal, highest for the date in 10 years.

Pastures in the North Atlantic States were mostly in good to exeellent
condition on July 1, except in New Jersey, where condition was fair, In
New York, pastures were reported the best in several years and New England
reported ideal growing conditions. In most South Atlantic States, pastures
were in good to excellent condition, xcept in Maryland and Florida,
where pastures were reported poor to fair in some areas. Pastures in
West Virginia vere reported the best since 1961.

In the North Central region, pastures were in good to excellent con-
dition in all States. However, northwestern North Dakota was notably
dry where rainfall was light during June. In South Dakota, Nebraska,
and Kansas, moisture supplies now are mostly adequate~-pastures have
recovered well from the relatively poor condition a month é¢arlier.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

In Great Lakes States, production is forecast at 24,400 tons, 12 per-
cent more than last year and 3 percent above average. All of the increase
from last year is in Michigan. New York has a light crop due to poor
pollinating weather and spring frosts. June weather favored growth. Har-
vest is late. Light picking was underway about July 1 in the Hudson
Valley and was expected to begin around July 5 in the Lake Ontario area.
In Pennsylvania, picking of the light crop wes just starting in the south
on July 1, compared with a normal completion of harvest around July 4.
Michigan's crop is now forecast at 20,000 tons, 18 percent above last year
and 16 percent more than average. Moisture is adequate and harvest of
the early varieties was underway before June 25 in southwestern Michigan.

Production in Western States is forecast at 76,360 tons, down 19
percent from last year's crop, but 3 percent above average. Harvest of
California's 16,000 - ton crop is nearly complete, except small amounts
from late districts. A rain in early June caused some problems with
cracking. In Oregon, picking was active the last half of June. The
fruit has good size -- rains during the third week of June in the Willan-
ette Valley increased sizes and caused little cracking. Harvest in
Washington was at a peak in the lower Yakima Valley the last week of June
and should be completed around July 15. The north central counties were
running a little later. Size and quality are excellent. Montana, Idaho,
and Utah have good crops this year. The Montana harvest is expected to
get under way a bit late -- the last week of July. In Idaho, the set
was spotty, mostly due to poor pollinating weather. Harvest began on
June 26. Size and quality are good.

TART CHERRIES: The July 1 forecast of production of tart cherries, at

79,700 tons is 12 percent below last year's crop and less
than one-half the 1961-65 average. All States except New York, Idaho,
Uteh, and Washington expect smaller crops than last year. Michigan con-
tinues to lead in production and expects to harvest 42,000 tons or 53
percent of the Nation's production this year.

In the Great Lakes States, a crop of 67,900 tons is expected, 13 per-
cent less than last year and about two-fifths of average. Prospects are
down in these States due to spring freezes and poor pollination. In
Michigan most orchards have a light crop. The fruit was beginning to
color in the southwest on July 1, but only early Richmonds were showing
color in the other areas. The crop is late in New York, but weather con-
ditions were favorable during June for development of tart cherries. A
good crop is in prospect in Wayne County, the main producing area. Other
areas will have a short crop due to frosts. In Wisconsin, many orchards
have no cherries due to the cold weather in May. Both Pennsylvania and
Ohio, have very short crops this year.

Production in the Western States is forecast at 11,800 tons, 4 per-
cent less than last year, but 6 percent above average. Harvest of Oregon's
good crop should get underway in the Willamette Valley about July 10.

The fruit has good size and quality. In Utah, an above average crop is
expected, but prospects vary by orchards. An excellent crop is in pros-
pect in Idaho and size, color and quality are very good. Harvest was to
get underway about the second week of July. Tart cherries were beginning
to color in Washington on July 1 and harvest should begin around August 1.
June weather was favorable for development of the crop.

Crop prospects on July 1 were slightly better than a year earlier,
although development was behind normal pace » according to the Crop Reporting
Board. Total crop acreage planted for 1967 harvest increased 7 percent to the
highest level since 1960. Feed grain production is expected to be up 8 percent
from last year and food grain production 19 percent above 1966. Milk
production during June was 1 percent less than e year earlier and 6 percent.
below average. Egg production was up 6 percent from a year earlier, and
8 percent above average.

Total Crop Acreage Increases

Crops planted for 1967 harvest total 318 million acres -~ up 7 per-
cent or 19,7 million acres from last year, and the largest total in 7
years. Total acreage of food grains increased 22 percent from last year
and both feed grains and oilseeds increased 4 percent. Despite some de-
lays in planting, farmers were able to seed most of their intended acreage,
except for cotton. Some abandoned cotton acreage in southern areas and
wheat in the central and southern Plains were replanted to soybeans and
sorghuns.

Indicated acreage for harvest increased slightly less than planted
acreage. Acreage losses after planting are expected to be above last
year -- especially for winter wheat, cotton, and corn. The current esti-
mate of 304 million acres for harvest is 5 percent more than last year and
the largest total since 1960.

“All Crop" Prospects Better than a Year Earlier

Prospects for "all crops" as reported by farmers for their locali-
ties, were rated slightly better than a year earlier. (See map on page 5.)
Most of the northern two-thirds of the Country and the West had good to
excellent prospects.

Exceptions to the generally bright outlook in the North Central
States are found in parts of the Western Corn Belt States where prospects
were reduced in June by flooding streams, standing water, and lack of
eultivation. An area centering in northeastern Kangas, northwestern
Missouri, southwestern Iowa, and southeastern Nebraska, was especially
hard hit. Rainfall during June was light in parts of Ohio, West Virginia,
and Pennsylvania resulting in only fair crop prospects for scattered areas.

Crop conditions were erratic across the southern South Atlantic and
South Central States where many areas with only fair prospects were inter-
spersed with areas of good to excellent crops, partly due to varying
June rainfall.

Lack of precipitation from late Fall through early Spring, together
with late frost and freezing temperatures reduced prospects in eastern
Colorado, southern Kansas, the western two-thirds of
Oklahoma, and the Texas Panhandle. Further south, continued light

COTTON: More diverted acres than last year, and the worst planting season

of record in widespread areas limited total acreage of cotton
planted this year to 9,724,000 acres, This is 6 percent less than the
10,349,000 acres planted last year and 37 percent below the 1961-65 average
of 15,342,000,

As usual, estimates include acreage planted that failed to germinate and
acreage destroyed or abandoned from any cause. Adverse weather this year
has caused unusually heavy losses of planted acreage in the Carolinas, end
in some areas of other eastern and central States. Much of the abandoned
cotton acreage hes been replanted to soybeans. The first estimate of the
acres for harvest will be in the August 8 Cotton Production Report.

In eastern and central cotton Stetes temperatures were above average
during March end the first three weeks of April, but dry soils in many
areas limited planting and germination, In late April, the weather pattern
reversed and the cold, wet weather continued through May into early June,
slowing planting, germination, and growth. Some growers were unable to
plant their intended acreage. Hardest hit by adverse weather were the
Carolinas, the northern half of both Georgia and Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri,
and northeastern Arkansas,

Cotton is late in all States--up to 3 weeks in some areas. Despite
poor weather, cotton is in fair condition in the southern half of Georgia
and Alabama, in Louisiana, and in the eastern third of Texas, its Rio Grande
Valley and its Coastal Bend areas. The crop is generally responding to
warmer weather, In northwest Texas, dry soils prevented planting non-irrigated
acreage until after mid-June. Soil moisture in Texas is short in the southern
High and Low Pleins and in central and southern areas of the State, In
New Mexico, Arizona, and California, cool weather has retarded growth, The
crop is 3 to 4 weeks behind schedule in California, Some fields in the
Imperial Valley are just starting to bloom. At this time last year cotton
was setting bolls,

HAY: Production of all kinds of hay in 1967 is estimated at 118.4 million
tons--down 2 percent from last year and 1 percent below average. The
annual decline results mostly from less all-hay acreage harvested-- per acre
yields averaged the seme as in 1966, This year's total hay crop is expected
to be harvested from 64,2 million acres, about 2 percent less than the 65,2
million acres harvested last year, Increased acreage of wild hay and the
miscellaneous hays partly offset declines for all other major classes of hay.

The all-hay yield is forecast at 1.85 tons per acre, the same as the
last two years, but slightly above the average of 1.78 tons, Cold weather
early in the season retarded hay crops in many northern and western areas.

In many localities, June rains delayed harvest of early cuttings, resulting
in some poor quality hay, but generally improved prospects for later cuttings.
Shortages of early season moisture in parts of the southeast and throughout
the Plains States resulted in a generally light first crop, June rains,
however, favored growth and prospects are good for later cuttings.

last year, because of larger crops forecast for both durum and other spring
wheat. The 1967 rice crop is expected to be 0.3 percent below last year's
record crop, Rye output is down 13 percent from last year.

Feed Grain Tonnage Up 8 Percent

Total tonnage of all feed grains is expected to be larger than last
year as both acreage and yield prospects are up. Production of the three
Grains estimated in July--corn, barley, and oats--is 8 percent more than
the 1966 total, Acreage planted to feed grains totaled 4 percent above
last year. Acreage for corn and sorgmms is up substantially. However,
acreage planted to barley and oats declined sharply,

Soybean Acreage Expands - Other Oilseeda Down

Soybean acreage planted continued to expand rapidly, setting a new
record of 41 million acres--10 percent more then last year's previous
record, Increases occurred in all regions with the largest percentage
increase indicated for the South Atlantic and South Central regions.

Cotton acreage declined 6 percent from last year due to greater
participation in the Domestic Allotment program and the worst planting season
of record, Peanut acreage declined 2 percent--all areas are down from a
year earlier. Despite higher yield prospects, the 1967 flaxseed crop is
forecast 19 percent below last year and the acreage is down nearly one-fourth.

More Tobacco, Sugarcane - Less Sugarbeets and Dry Beans

The first forecast of all tobacco production for 1967 is 5 percent
more than last year, but 8 percent below average. Acreage for harvest is
up 2 percent. Much of the increased production is in flue-cured, because
most other classes are down from last year,

Sugarcane production is expected to total 3 percent more than in 1966
and about equal to the record 1965 crop, Production of sugarbeets is fore-
cast 9 percent less than last year and 10 percent below average.

Dry bean production is currently expected to be slightly more than
one-fourth less than a year earlier, and 21 percent below average. Production

of ary peas, however, is expected to be 19 percent more than in 1966 but
2 percent below average,

Pasture Prospects Bright - Less Hay Than Last Year

The reported condition of pastures on July 12 was 86 percent of normal
- 7 points above a year earlier and 4 points above average. Widespread,
heavy rains during June boosted pasture condition in many areas of the
country and on July 1 condition was generally good to excellent except in
Alabama and a large area from Louisiane westward to Arizona where pasture
condition ranged from fair to severe drought.

than usual prospects are for a good quality crop. ‘The April freeze caused
droppage, but remaining fruit was unmarked. Golden Delicious bloom and
set was lighter than last year in most orchards, Winesaps, Romes, and
Jonathans have a good set and are growing well. In California, there is

a light set on Gravensteins and Red Delicious with relatively better sets
on most other varieties. Harvest will be much later than normal and
picking of Gravensteins is not expected before August 1, Prospects are
good in Oregon in all major producing areas and the crop has developed
well. Thinning was underway by mid-June, In Idaho, the crop is generally
in good condition, but hot weather in late June and early July was causing
concern among growers, Colorado's production is down sharply due to spring
freezes. Red Delicious was hardest hit, and many orchards have none of
this variety. Most of this year's crop will be Jonathans and Rome Beautys.

PEACHES: The Nation's 1967 peach crop is forecast at 3,058 million pounde,
10 percent less than last season and 14 percent below average.
Excluding California Clingstones, mostly a canning crop, a production of
1,382 million pounds is forecast, 20 percent less than last year and 3+
percent below average. Smaller crops than last year are indicated for all
of the North Atlantic and Middle Atlantic States, some of the Rocky
Mountain States and most of the 9 Southern States, For most of the North
Central States, production is above the short 1966 crop but below average.

California's Clingstone peach crop, used primarily for canning, is
estimated at 1,676 million pounds, nearly the same as the 1,678 million
pounds harvested in 1966 and 12 percent above average. Growing conditions
were reasonably good in the Clingstone peach producing districts during
June. Some warmer temperatures prevailed toward the end of the period
but emple foliage on trees was expected to protect the fruit from damage.
The season is later than last year and harvest of the extra early
varieties is not expected until shortly after mid-July, California's
Freestone crop of 500 million pounds is 3 percent less than the 1966 crop
and 19 percent below average. Harvest of early Freestone varieties is
legging far behind last year. Start of harvest of most varieties is about
2 weeks late.

The July 1 forecast for the 9 Southern States--48.2 million pounds-~
is 36 percent less than the 1966 crop and 34 percent below average. Good
crops in Alabama and Mississippi only partially offset sharp reductions
in the Carolinas and Georgia,

In Alabema, harvest of early and mid-season varieties was nearing
completion by the end of June. Harvest of Elbertas was expected to be
active from July 10 to July 25. Harvest of late peaches in Mississippi
ids expected to continue into August.

Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware have light peach
crops because of winter damage and some spring freeze damage, Harvest is
expected to start later than usual, Virginia harvested a few early
varieties in late June but harvest of other early varieties was expected
about July 10-15, and harvest of Redhaven July 10-20,

Corn stocks on farms were above last year in the North Central and
Western regione. 111 other regions registered declines.

ALL WHEAT: Production of All Wheat is forecast at a record 1,596 million

bushels, 139 million bushels above the previous high estab-
lished in 1958. The yield per harvested acre is 26.6 bushels--second
highest in history. The acreage of all wheat for harvest as grain is 60.0
million, the largest since 1953.

WINTER WHEAT: A record winter wheat crop of 1,274 million bushels is in

prospect. The July 1 estimate is 3 percent above a month
earlier and 21 percent above last year. A larger acreage for harvest than
expected earlier and improved yields in most western States contributed
mostly to the larger production. The U. S. yield per acre is indicated at
27.5 bushels, compared with 27.4 bushels in 1966 and the average of 26.2
bushels. Acreage for harvest as grain is expected to total 46.3 million,
up 20 percent from 1966 and 25 percent above average.

The acreage for harvest in the Central and Southern Plains is now
estimated to be larger than expected earlier. Rains during late May and
June revived some acreage thought to be beyond recovery. However, yields
in most of this area are down slightly from prospects a month ago.

Wheat harvest progressed slowly in the Plains area during June,
because of wet soils. By July 1, some acreage was still to be harvested
in the Texas Panhandle and northern Oklahoma. In Kansas, wheat harvest
wes only 26 percent complete compared to the usual 65 percent by July 1.
Reports on quality of the Oklahoma and Kansas wheat indicate protein
content above last year but test weight below 1966.

In the Corn Belt, wheat progpeats continue good, but harvest has
been slowed because of wet soils. By July 1, harvest was about 35 percent
complete in Tilinois, 10 percent in Indiana but just starting in Ohio.

Abundant winter and spring moisture has provided nearly ideal grow-
ing conditions in the Pacific Northwest and record yields are in the offing.
Some early maturing fields are being harvested in Washington. Develop-
ment of Montana wheat is later than usual, but yield prospects continue
good to excellent.


CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Potato Acreage and Sweetpotatoes Production Down

The combined acreage of all seasonal groups of potatoes is down
slightly from last year -- 1,461,000 compared with 1,464,000 acres
harvested in 1966. The current estimate is 6 percent above 1965. The
important fall crop acreage is up 2 percent from last year and 7 percent
above 1965.

Prospective production of sweetpotatoes is 4, percent less than last
year and 15 percent below 1965. The decline from last year results from
5 percent fewer acres for harvest, as yield prospects are up slightly.

CORN: Prospective 1967 production of corn for grain, at 4.5 billion

bushels, is 10 percent larger than the record 4.1 billion bushels
produced last year and 20 percent above the 1961-65 average. This would
be the Nation's fourth 4-billion bushel corn crop--the first was in 1963,
the others, in 1965 and 1966.

Growers expect to harvest 61.3 million acres for grain, 8 percent
more than last year’s acreage which was about average in size. This
year's increase has been limited by excessive rains destroying substantial
acreage in the western Corn Belt. A near record yield of 73.5 bushels
per harvested acre is expected compared with 72.1 bushels last year and
the five-year average of 66.3.

A total of 71.4 million acres of corn for all purposes has been
Planted, 8 percent more than last year and about the same as in 1960--
the last year before the Feed-Grain Diversion Program. Growers planted
an average of 66.1 million acres during the years 1961-65 and 66.3 mil-
lion acres in 1966. Liberalizing Program limitations was the leading
reason for the marked gain in this year's acreage. Nearly 90 percent
of this increase is in the North Central region. Planted acreage is up
7 percent in the South Atlantic States, and all other regional totals are
slightly larger than last year, except in the South Central, where corn
acreage continues a downward trend.

Planting was retarded in early stages by wet, cool weather in the
eastern Corn Belt. It picked up speed there in late May and generally
was completed near or shortly after average dates. In sharp contrast,
most of the western Corn Belt was dry until June - excessively in some
areas of the Plains. Low soil temperatures and shortages of moisture for
germination were the only major deterrents to early planting. Much
needed June showers became torrential, extensively damaging both uplands
and flood-susceptible bottomlands. Widespread replanting has been
wecessary, and many fields were either diverted to other uses or totally
abandoned, where it was considered too late to risk early frost damage
this fall. In most other areas of the country planting was timely,
despite some early delays.

CORN STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocke of corn on farms July 1 totaled 1,330
million bushels, up only slightly from the 1,324

million bushels held a year earlier. Disappearance of corn from

farms during the April-June quarter was down 12 percent from the record

disappearance in the corresponding quarter last year, but 9 percent

above the average for the quarter.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Below normal temperatures in June caused some poor stands. The San Luis
Valley acreage in Colorado was planted on time but river water supplies
for irrigation are short. In Washington, prospects are good to excellent.

Late summer production of 30,483,000 ewt. is 4 percent above 1966
and 3 percent above 1965 revised production. The prospective yield of
229 cwt. per acre is the same as was harvested in 1965 but 9 ewt. above
1966. Increases in acreage in California, Washington, and on Long
Island, New York more than offset decreases in New Jersey, Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Colorado. In New Jersey end on Long Island, New York,
the crop was planted by early May. Because of the cool, wet weather
in May, crop development has been delayed about two weeks. Harvest is
expected to start in the latter part of July. In Indiana, harvest was
expected to start the first week of July. Cool weather in Michigan
during May delayed planting. Heavy rains in June caused considerable
damage and some loss of acreage. Excessive moisture in Wisconsin caused
damage to some acreages. On the other hand, steady winds in the central
south area dried top soil and some fields have been irrigated.

Record rainfall during June in Nebraska caused poor development.
Prospects in Colorado are good. A few areas have been hit by hail but
demage so far has been light. Development, because of cool wet weather
on July 1, was 10 days to two weeks late. Harvest is expected to start
in the Arkansas Valley about mid-July and in northeastern Colorado the
first week of August. Prospects in Washington are excellent with the
indicated yield second only to 1966's record high. Prospects in Cali-
fornia are variable. Prospects are good in Monterey, Sante Barbara,
and San Diego counties, but cold, wet weather in April delayed plenting
and slowed early growth in the Delta area of San Joaquin county. Har-
vest is not expected to start until August 1, about two weeks later than
normal.

The early summer potato crop of 13,078,000 hundredweight, is 5 percent
pelow the 1966 revised crop but 9 percent above 1965. In Delaware and
Marylend, harvest will be a little later than usual. Rains in late June
were beneficial. Along Virginia's Eastern Shore, harvest began about
mid-June. Harvest progressed slowly in June but was expected to increase
in early July. Yields show wide variation--depending on the amount of
moisture received from June rains. Yield of Superior variety is much
pelow earlier expectations but Pungos and Katadins are yielding better.
In Texas, harvest was expected to start in early July. Peak movement is
expected in lete July and early August. The crop in California is about
two weeks later than normal. Good volume is expected from Riverside
county in late July and from San Bernardino county about August 1.

The late spring potato production is placed at 22,376,000 hundred-
weight, 14 percent below 1966 and 8 percent below 1965 harvest. In Cali-
fornia, harvest peaked the third week of June but supplies are expected
to be fairly heavy into late July. In Arizona, harvest on July 1 was
nearing completion but harvest was over in the Baldwin area of Alabama.
Harvest in northeastern North Carolina has been slow. Local showers in
June benefited late planted acreage.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

HOPS: Production of hops is forecast at 55.5 million pounds, slightly more

than last year and 15 percent above the 1961-65 average. Acreage for
harvest is down from last year but the yield per acre is up. Washington
and Oregon expect larger crops but smaller crops are forecast for Ideho and
Californie.

Washington's crop is very even this year and @ good crop is in prospect.
Hops grew well in June due to the warm weather and by late June nearly all
yards were at the wire or over. Vines are green and healthy without excess
foliage. Mildew has not been a problem. Oregon growers expect a good crop.
The Fuggles variety is a little better than last year and other varieties
are in good condition. Idaho's production is expected to be somewhat less
than last year. Cool weather during May and early June slowed growth a
little, however, on July 1 most yards showed average growth and development.
Disease and insects were presenting no serious problems. California's
crop is ten days to two weeks late due to delay in cultivation because of
the wet spring weather. By July 1, vines were growing nicely and improving.
There was some mildew but no insects were in evidence.

POTATOES: ‘The 1967 acreage of potatoes for harvest is placed at 1,461,300

acres, practically the same as the revised 1,464,000 acres harvested
in 1966 but 6 percent more than the revised 1,363,500 acres harvested in 1965.
The increase in acreage over last year in tne fall classification was about
offset by a smaller acreage for other seasonal groups.

The acreage for fall production is estimated at 1 084,400, acres 1
percent above 1966 and 7 percent up from 1965. Increases over last year
were registered in all regions. In the 8 eastern States, the increase in
Maine more than offset declinesin New York, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, and Connecticut, Pennsylvania acreage is expected to be
the same as in 1966. The acreage in Maine was planted prior to June 15,
slightly later than usual. Plantings on Long Island were completed by late
May. May was too cool for development but a warm June caused rapid growth.
On July 1, the crop was about two weeks late. Plantings in Upstate New York
were completed by June 10. Soil moisture is adequate. The Pennsylvania
crop was planted by mid-June. Growth in June was slow but recent rains and
warmer weather were beneficial,

In the central fall States larger acreages than in 1966 are recorded
for Ohio, Minnesota, and North Dakota, more than offsetting declines in
Michigan, Wisconsin, South Dakota, end Nebraska. Wet weather in May in
most of the central States held up plantings and the cool temperatures
retarded early development. Excessive rains in Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota in June caused some drowning of acreage.

The acreage for harvest in the 9 western States is 2 percent above 1966
in spite of the smaller acreage in Idaho. Idaho acreage, at 304,000, is 2
percent below the 311,000 harvested in 1966. Increases over 1966 were report-
ed in Montana, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and California. In Idaho,
plantings started about the usual time but wet weather caused plantings to
be extended into late June.

rainfall in parts of New Mexico and central and southern Texas, resulted
in sizeable areas of poor to very poor prospects. Prospects were mostly
good to excellent in the West, except in eastern Colorado and much of
New Mexico. Irrigation-water supplies are expected to be adequate in
most areas of the West except New Mexico and parts of Colorado.

Crop Progress Slower Than Normal

The month of June brought above normal precipitation in nearly all
areas west of the Mississippi River. Persistent, heavy rains from
southern Minnesote and southeastern South Dakota to northeastern Kansas
and northwest Missouri caused considerable flooding along streams and
left water standing in many low places. In contrast, much of the Country
east of the Mississippi River -- except Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Illinois -~ saw adequate to plentiful June 1 moisture supplies dwindle
until showers late in the month eased the threat of serious shortages.
Surface moisture supplies on July 1 generally were adequate to surplus
with sizeable, dry areas only in Texas and the far Southwest. dime
temperatures averaged near to slightly below normal over most of the
Country.

Development of major crops varied, and progress to July 1 was
moderately behind normal. Progress of spring planting also varied.
An unusually cool, wet Spring until late May delayed planting and crop
development over a large area from Arkansas across Kentucky, Indiana,
Ohio, and the North Atlantic States. Conditions favored field work
more in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and most Western Corn Belt States,
where farmers completed Spring planting about on schedule. Heavy rains
in June, however, over much of the area slowed crop growth, hampered
cultivation of row crops, and caused considerable loss of crop acreages.
Much of the lost acreage remained to be replanted on July 1.

Rains slowed harvest of small grains in parts of the Central and
Southern Plains during June. Combining wheat was nearing completion in
Texas, except on the High Plains where one-fourth of the crop was left
for harvest on duly 1 -- slightly behind a year earlier. In Kansas only
a fourth of the crop was combined compared with the usual progress of
about three-fifths. Although rains and wet fields delayed harvest,
small grain heads later maturing fields filled well in late May and
through June.

Adverse Spring weather in most South Central and South Atlantic
States--ranging from near drought in April to an unusually cold, wet
May in many areas and back to scattered moisture shortages in June--
slowed Spring planting and crop development. Abandonment of cotton was
heavy in some localities and considerable acreage was plowed up and
planted to soybeans or other crops.

FOOD GRAIN OUTPUT UP 19 PERCENT: Production of food grains is expected
to total 19 percent more than last

year. Prospects for winter wheat, the dominant food grain, improved
during Jume and 1967 production is 21 percent more than lest year. ALL
spring wheat production is expected to be 27 percent above

sugar and seed compared with 509,000 last year. In Hawaii, estimated acreage
to be harvested is 110,000, down 6,000 acres from last year.

Mainland sugarcane is in good condition--fields are well cultivated and
clean of weeds and grass. In Louisiana, dry weather in late June sapped soil
moisture and most of the crop needed a good rain on July 1. Sugarcane harvest
in Hewaii, underway in January, was slowed by heavy rain early in the year.

DRY BEANS: Dry bean production is forecast at 14.5 million bags, 100 pounds

clean basis, 28 percent below last year's crop and 21 percent
below average. Acreage is down in the important dry bean States of New York,
Michigan, Idaho, Colorado, and California.

The prospective U. S. yield of 1,104 pounds per acre is well below both
last year's 1,334 pounds and the average of 1,296 pounds. Yield prospects
were down in most States except Minnesota, Kansas, New Mexico, and Washington.
The Bed will be harvested from 1,311,000 acres compared with 1,519,000 acres
in 1966.

Excessive moisture in Michigan during May and June hindered plenting and
some fields had to be replanted. Planting was late in New York and continued
past mid-June.

Dry bean development in the Western and Mountain States was generally
later than usual --plantings continued until late June. However, most beans
are up to generally good stands.

DRY PEAS: Production of 4.43 million bags (100 pounds clean basis) is
forecast for the 1967 dry pea crop, 19 percent more than last
year but 2 percent below average.

Prospective yield for the U. S. is 1,690 pounds per acre. Total acreage
expected for harvest is 262,000 acres, compared with 239,000 acres last year.

Cool, wet weather delayed planting in the Pacific Northwest but favorable
moisture and temperature conditions followed planting, and generally good
stands have developed. In Washington, some fields were blooming by mid-June,
but excessive moisture caused some foot rot in southern Spokane County.

A normal irrigated crop is expected in the Columbia Basin as weather has
promoted development. Hot weather in Idaho the latter half of June caught a
considerable acreage of peas in the bloom stage. Moisture supplies are
adequate in nearly all areas of the State.

TOBACCO: The season's first forecast is for an all tobacco crop of 1,983

million pounds, based on conditions around July 1. This compares
with about 1,890 million pounds produced last year and the 1961-65 average
of 2,160 million pounds. Acres for harvest this year are estimated at
988,700 nearly 2 percent above 1966 but 12 percent below average. Among
major classes, however, flue-cured is the only tobacco for which an increase
in acreage over the last season is expected. Burley shows no change.
Participation in the Cropland Adjustment Program contributed towards the
reduced acreage for several types of tobacco. All types of tobacco except
Maryland, Pennsylvania Seedleaf, Shade-grown, and Perique are under quotes
and basic 1967 allotments are unchanged from 1966.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

harvested in the Yakima Valley, In orchards that were not thinned, fruit

ig running heavy to small sizes, but good sized fruit is being picked from
orchards that were thinned. Utah's crop has again been shortened because
of a late spring freeze~-the third consecutive year of severe freeze damage.

PRUNES AND PIUMS: California's 1967 production of prunes is expected to

total 135,000 tons (dried basie) 2 percent more than last
year but 12 percent less than the 1961-65 average. Fruit is making good size
growth. Due to the lateness of the crop, some growers feel that the dry away
may be somewhat less favorable than last season,

The California plum crop is forecast at 95,000 tons, the same as last
yeer's output, dub 6 percent less than average. Fruit sizes are generally
good and cullage of small sizes has not been excessive, Harvest of Beauty
and Burmosa varieties is nearing completion and picking of Santa Rosas is
underway.

Production of prunes and plums in Michigan, Idaho, Weshington, and Oregon
is expected to totel 80,300 tons. This is 21 percent more than last year and
6 percent above average. All States except Washington expected to harvest
larger crops than last year. In Michigan, a generally good crop is expected
in the northwest counties. Idaho's prunes and plums sustained some heil
damage but most of the scarred prunes dropped during June. Washington's crop
wes damaged by frost, but growth of fruit to date has been good. In Oregon,
prospects are favorable in all producing areas except Douglas County where
rains hampered spraying activities.

NECTARINES: California's nectarine crop is now forecast at 55,000 tons,

11 percent under last months forecast, 19 percent less than last
year and 10 percent below the 1961-65 average, Relatively cool weather until
the letter part of June retarded maturity. Fruit size is smaller then earlier
expected and cullage is running heavy due to split pits. Harvest of Sunrise
nectarines in Kern County is past peak and is in good volume in the Fresno-
Tulare County area, The Early Sun Grand variety is beginning to move in good
volume,

OLLVES: July 1 condition of Californie olives wes reported at 35 percent,

sharply below the 80 percent s year earlier. Bloom occurred during
a long period of cold, rainy weather and the fruit set is light and spotty in
many orchards, Fruit development has been slow,

FIGS: California's fig crop is extremely late this year, The set of Calimyrna

figs has not been determined--caprification began very late due to the
slow, development of Capri figs. There was a very light set of first crop
black Missions, Trees are in excellent condition.

AIMONDS: California's almond crop is forecast at 81,000 tons, 6 percent less
than the 1966 crop but 26 percent above average, Recent warm
weather has benefited the nuts which are sizing well.

FILBERTS: Production of filberts in Oregon end Washington is forecast at

9,850 tons, 19 percent less than last year but 16 percent above
average. Poor weather for pollination, and a large crop in 1966 reduced
production prospects for 1967.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Bourd, SRS, USDA

SOYBEANS: Soybeans planted alone for all purposes in 1967 are estimated

at 41.0 million acres, about 10 percent more than last year's
record of 37.4 million acres, and 34 percent above the average of 30.5
million acres, Growers expect to harvest 40,1 million acres, up 9
percent from last year and 35 percent above average.

Planted acreage increased in all but the very minor mid-Atlantic
region, The largest percentage increases occurred in the South Atlantic
and South Central regions~-each up 20 percent. North Central crops were
up 5 percent.

Sharpest inoreases were in the South and most other areas showed
generally more moderate increases, Illinois, down one percent, was the
only major State indicating a decrease.

Cool, wet weather throughout April and early May delayed planting
and development in many North Central States, except in Minnesota and
Iowa, where planting conditions were very favorable, In South Dakota
and Nebraska cool, dry weather hindered plenting. Eastern sections of
the North Centrel region had favorable conditions the lest of May and hed
generally completed planting in good time by mid-June. Rains the lest
half of June in northern-and western areas of the region hindered
cultivation and some replanting was needed because of flooding.

Prolonged, cool weather was a deleying factor for early plantings
throughout much of the South Atlantic and South Central regions.
Moisture has generally been favorable or has been timely. Poor cotton
stands have been replented to soybeans in many cases in both regions.

SOYBEAN STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of soybeans stored on farms July 1, 1967

totaled a record 85,4 million bushels, 4 times
more than a year earlier and 2.3 times greater than average. The indicated
disappearance of 133 million bushels from farms during the April-June
quarter was only slightly above the record 131 million bushels a year
earlier,

Stocks were well above a year earlier in all regions, except the
minor mid-Atlantic, Stocks were 5 times greater then a year earlier
in the North Central States, while the South Central and South Atlantic
were less than double last year. The North Central States accounted
for 94 percent of the Nation's total farm holdings compared with 82
percent a year earlier and the average of 91 percent.

CROP PRADUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Acreage seeded for the 1967 crop totaled slightly below 3.6 million
acres, compared with more than 3.9 million acres planted for the 1966 crop.
Rye acreage for harvest as grain is placed at 1.1 million acres, 14 percent
below 1966 acreage, and about one-third below average. Less acreage for
harvest is expected in all regions this year, except in the South Atlantic,
where harvested acreage is expected to be 29,000 acres above the 127,000
acres harvested last year. Acreage for harvest this year in North Dakota
is expected to be 35 percent below last year’s, but South Dakota expects 4@
33 percent increase in acreage harvested.

RYE STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of old crop rye on farms July 1 totaled 3.6

million bushels, 9 percent less than 4 year earlier
but 40 percent above average. Holdings were smaller than a year earlier in
all regions, except the South Atlantic. North Dakota stocks, representing
60 percent of the U. S. total, were 11 percent below a year earlier. Dis-
appearance of rye from farms during the April-June quarter totaled 4.0
million bushels--34 percent less than for a year earlier.

FLAXSEED: Production of flaxseed for 1967 is expected to be 19.3 million

bushels, 19 percent less than last year and 34 percent below
average. This will be the smallest flax crop since 1939. The decline in
production from a year earlier and previous years is basically the result
of a decrease in acreage for harvest. Growers plan to harvest 2.0 million
acres compared with 2.6 million acres in 1966, and the 5-year average of
2.8 million acres. The prospective yield per acre is 9.5 bushels compared
with 9.1 bushels last year and the average of 10.3 bushels.

In general the crop is late, because seeding was delayed in North
Dakota and Montana by cool, wet weather. Development now varies over the
major flax area because of differences in planting times.

Farmers in the Dakotas and Minnesota are expected to produce 98 per-
cent of the Nation's crop. In North Dakota, some of the earliest fields
are in bloom although the latest plantings have not yet emerged. The late,
cool season has caused spotty stands in northeastern Montana. Generally,
the Minnesota crop is in good condition except in some low land southern
areas, which have drowned out. Some flax fields have begun to bloom in
South Dakota, but development is generally behind normal.

Harvest has not yet started in the Imperial Valley of California, but
should begin before mid-July. Moisture was short during planting time in
Texas and yields averaged below normal. Heavy rains reduced quality of the
later harvested crop. .

FLAXSEED STOCKS ON FARMS: Farm stored flaxseed on July 1 totaled 1.4
million bushels, compared with 3.4 million bushels

@ year earlier. Virtually all stocks are in Minnesota and the Dakotas.

North Dakota accounts for 62 percent of the total. Disappearance of flax~

seed from farms during April-June was 4.2 million bushels compared with

7.4 million for the same period in 1966 and the average of 4,6 million

bushels.

SORGHUM: Acreage of sorghum planted for all purposes totals 19.2 million
acres, 17 percent above last year and 19 percent above average.

Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and the New Englend States elso
have light crops because of winter injury, spring frosts, and, in some
eases, poor pollination.

Michigan's peach crop suffered some winter and spring freeze damage
and the crop is below average but 50 percent above the short 1966 crop.
Tllinois has a good peach crop. Harvest of early varieties started in
late June in the southern part of the State. Harvest in other Illinois
peach areas was expected to start in early June~-peak the last half of
July. Ohio's peach harvest is expected to start about mid-July in the
southeast and lete July in the north.

Washington has a fair crop of peaches although below last year. Her-
vest is expected to start in the Lower Yakima Valley on the Dixired variety
shortly after July 15 and the Redhaven variety near August 1--canning
varieties about mid-August.

PEARS: ‘The July 1 pear estimate is 445,050 tons, down 7 percent from last

month, 41 percent less then last year, and 28 percent below the
1961-65 average. Production in the Pacific Coast States, which produce
about 88 percent of the U. S. total, is forecast at 393,000 tons, 42 per-
cent less then last year's crop and 27 percent below average. Pacific
Coast States’ production of Bartletts is estimated at 255,000 tons, less
than one-half the 1966 crop. Estimated production of "other than Bartlett"
pears in these States is 138,000 tons, i7 percent under last year. Each
of these States expects a smaller crop of pears than last year, and the
sharpest drop is expected in California. Prospects outside this area are
for 52,050 tons, 27 percent below last year and 29 percent less than aver-
age.

California's Bartlett crop is forecast at 95,000 tons, about one~
fourth the size of last year's crop and one-third of average. The cold,
wet weather during bloom caused greater damage to the crop than expected
@ month ago. Prospects in all districts are down from recent years. The
light set is sizing well. Harvest will be much later than last year-~
early fresh shipments are expected after July 15. “Other type" pears are
forecast at 13,000 tons, about one-half the size of last year's crop.
Reduced crops are expected for all varieties.

The Washington Bartlett estimate, at 90,000 tons, is 12 percent less
than last year but well above average, Poor pollinsting weather
and mid-April frosts reduced the crop in the Lower Yekima Valley in some
orchards. The Upper Yakima set a good crop because bloom was later. Some
orchards at the lower elevations in the north central counties have light
erops. Prospects now point to a crop of excellent quality. Indicated
“other pear" production is 43,000 tons, down 10 percent from last year.
The crop has no frost marke end is of good quality.

Bartlett production in Oregon is expected to total 70,000 tons, down
slightly from last year's production. Prospects are good in all areas
except the Willamette Valley where the set is spotty. At Hood River the
set was heavy and good quality is reported. High temperatures about

In the South Central region, pastures were in good to excellent con-
dition in most States. The most pronounced exceptions were reported in
Texas, Alabama, and Louisiana. In Texas, pasture conditions ranged down
to severe and extreme drought in the southern one-third of the State. In
Alabema and Louisiana, pastures were reported mostly poor to fair. Dry
areas also were reported in parts of Oklahoma, but pastures were in good
to excellent condition in most of the State.

In the West, heavy June showers encouraged good pasture growth and
on July 1 most States reported good to excellent pasture conditions. How-
ever, in Arizona and New Mexico several areas were reported in poor to
fair condition.

MILK: Milk production in the United States during June is estimated at
11,161 million pounds, 1 percent less than a year earlier, and 6
percent below the 1961-65 average for the month. Ona daily basis, pro-
duction increased 0.3 percent from May to June this year. For the first
half of the year, milk production was about the same asa year earlier.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crep Reperting Beard, SRS, USDA

WALNUTS: Both California and Oregon growers expect to harvest fewer walnuts

in 1967 than in 1966. The July 1 forecast of total production for
those States, at 77,800 tons, is 19 percent less than last year and 3 per-
cent below average. In California, most varieties, other than Franquette,
have a fair to good set. In Qregon, a heavy drop in June reduced early
Season prospects,

CITRUS: The 1966-67 orange crop is expected to total 189 million boxes,
34 percent above last season and 65 percent more than average. As
of July 1, approximately 10 percent of the crop was unharvested, compared
with 6 percent a year earlier. Most of the oranges left for harvest are
California Valencias. Approximately 95 percent of the Nation's 56,0 mil~
lion box grapefruit crop had been harvested by July 1. Most of what is
left is in California. However, some fruit is yet to be harvested in
Florida, Texas, and Arizona, Lemon harvest is progressing well--about
one-fourth of the crop is still to be picked--all in California,

Processors have used some three-fourths of the oranges harvested so far
this season, 55 percent of the grapefruit and 52 percent of the lemons. By
duly 1 last season, processors had used 69 percent of tho oranges, 52 per-
cent of the grapefruit and 45 percent of the lemons.

Prospects for the 1967-68 citrus crop are generally good. In Florida,
trees responded favorably to the abundant rain and hot weather during June.
Trees have much new growth and fruit is sizing well, In Texas, older trees
appear to have set a lighter crop than last season; however, this is ex~
pacted to be offset by new trees coming into production and larger fruit.
Arizona's trees had an unusually heavy bloom, followed by an abnormally
heavy drop. Groves are in excellent condition, however, and growers
expect trees to hold a good set. In southern California, Navel and Valen.
cia oranges have a light set; however, prospects are somewhat better in
other areas.

SWEET CHERRIES: The July 1 forecast of sweet cherries is 100,760 tons,

down 13 percent from last year but 3 percent above average.
Smaller crops than last year in Washington, California, New York, and
Pennsylvania more than offset larger crops of sweet cherries in the other
States.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: Spring wheat other than durum is forecast at aby
million bushels, 28 percent above lest year and 30
percent above average.

Production prospects are up from last year in practically all areas.
The largest increase occurred in North Dakota.

The hard spring wheat in North Dakota and Montana was seeded late
and development is slower than usual. Subsoil moisture is generally ade-
quate because of earlier rains, but topsoil moisture was becoming short
over much of North Dakota by July 1.

Yield is forecast at 22.7 bushels per acre, up 1.1 bushels from
last year and above the average of 21.3 bushels.

Plented acreage of spring wheat other than durum is estimated at
11.0 million acres. This compares with 9.1 million last year and the
average of 9.4 million acres. Acres for harvest in 1967 is expected to
total 10.7 million, up 22 percent from 1966.

DURUM WHEAT: Production of durum wheat in 1967 is estimated at a record

of 78 million bushels, up 2h percent from 1966, and 39 per-
eent above average. Rainfall was light during June over the main durum
area but good earlier moisture helped to maintain favorable prospects.
Subsoil moisture supplies are still adequate over most of the area, but
rain is needed to replenish surface moisture.

The 1967 crop will be harvested from 2.9 million acres, 18 percent
more than 1966, and 3 percent above average. All durum States expect
to harvest more acreage. The expected yield of 27.3 bushels compares
with 25.9 bushels in 1966.

ALL WHEAT. STOCKS ON FARMS: The July 1 carryover of old crop wheat on
U. 8. farms totaled 147 million bushels,

up 16 million bushels from a year earlier and 36 million above average.

On-farm wheat stocks represented the highest July 1 level since 1943.

Farm holdings amounted to 11 percent of the 1966 production. All regions

except the South Atlantic had above average stocks.

Disappearance of wheat from farms during the April-June quarter
totaled 94 million bushels, nearly 25 percent below a year earlier and
13 percent less than average.

Durum stocks on farms on July 1, at 18.5 million bushels, were 23
percent below a year earlier. Disappearance from farms during the April-
June quarter totaled 10.4 million bushels, 59 percent below a year
earlier.

CROP PRODUCTION, July 1967 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

BARLEY: Barley production in 1967 ie expected to total nearly 381 million
bushels, compared with the nearly 390 million bushels in 1966 ana
the avefage of 398 million bushels, Indicated production is below 1966 in
the North Atlantic, and Western Regions, but the greatest decline is in the
South Central, where production is expected to be 54 percent below last
year, due mostly to a sharp reduction in Oklahoma's acreage and yield.

Yield in the Nation is expected to be 40.6 bushels per acre, compared
with last year's 38,1 bushels, and the average of 36.2 bushels. All States
except South Carolina, Georgia, Oklahoma, Texas, and Nevada expect above
average yields.

On July 1 harvest of barley was underway, but about a week behind
normal over much of the North Atlantic, North Central, South Atlantic, and
West. Harvest was virtually complete in Kansas and in Oklahoma where a
serious winter and spring drouth severely damaged the crop. In North
Dakota the crop is late and dry conditions exist over much of the State,
but a strong shift to the Dickson variety is expected to hold yields up.
Dry weather in April and May cut yields moderately in parts of the South
Atlantic. Hail, heavy rains, and severe winds during June damaged Idaho's
crop; and in Oregon's Willamette Valley, barley is heavily infested with
Yellow Dwarf Virus, Throughout the West, irrigation water has been gener-

ally adequate,

Acreage planted for 1967 harvest, at 10.3 million acres, is 8 percent
below last year =~ the reduction is fairly well scattered across the
Nation, Oklahoma's acreage is 47 percent below last year, but Arizona's
is 40 percent above last year. Acreage for harvest as grain is 8 percent
less than last year and is 9,4 million acres compared with the average of
11.1 million acres. Changes in acreage for harvest from a year earlier
are about the same as the changes in planted acreage.

BARLEY STOCKS ON FARMS: Farm stored old crop barley on July 1 totaled 56
million bushels, 21 percent more than a year

earlier, and 1 percent above average, Farm stocks were above average in
the North Atlantic, West, and South Central regions, but below average in
North Central and South Atlantic areas. The July 1 carryover amounted to
14.4 percent of the 1966 production, Indicated disappearance of barley

from farms during the April-June period was 57,2 million bushels compared
with 53.0 million bushels during the corresponding period a year earlier.

RYE: The Nation's 1967 rye crop is forecast at 24,4 million bushels, down

from the 27.9 million bushel ¢rep of 1966 and the average of 32.6
million bushels. Less production than last year is expected in all regions
except the South Atlantic, The greatest drop in production is expected in
the important North Central Region, where production prospects are 13 per=
cent below lest year. South Dakota is producing about one-fourth of the
U.S, totel and is expected to take the lead among rye producing States
this year.

The estimated yield of 22.2 bushels per acre is the second highest
of record, topped only by the 22.6 bushels per acre in 1965.
