PEANUTS: The 1983 peanut crop totaled 3.30 billion pounds (1.49 million
metric tons), 4 percent below 1982 and 17 percent below the record
high 3.98 billion pounds (1.81 million metric tons) produced in 1981. The
decline in production from 1982 was caused by a reduction in acreage in the
Southwest and lower average yields in the Southeast and in the Virginia-North
Carolina area. Growers planted 1.41 million acres (571 thousand hectares) in
1983 and 1.37 million acres (556 thousand hectares) were harvested. This
represents an increase of 8 percent in both planted and harvested acres from
1383" Yields averaged 2399 pounds per acre, compared with 2696 pounds in

Production in the Southeast (Alabama, Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina) totaled 2.21 billion pounds, compared with 2.22 billion pounds
Produced in 1982. Increased acres harvested was not enough to offset the
decline in average yields. Growers harvested 815 thousand acres, 14 percent
above the previous year. Yield per acre, at 2719 pounds, was 403 pounds
below 1982. For all States, yield per acre was down from 1982, but acres
planted and harvested were up.

Virginia and North Carolina output totaled 517 million pounds, 25 percent
below 1982. Growers planted and harvested 246 and 242 thousand acres,
respectively, the same as in 1982, The average yield per acre , at 2136
Pounds, dropped 718 pounds. Yield and production were down in both States.

Southwestern growers (New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas) produced 564
million pounds during 1983 compared with 525 million pounds in 1982. The
increased production resulted from more acreage in New Mexico and Oklahoma
and better yields in Texas. Area harvested totaled 317 thousand acres, 4.4
thousand acres below the previous year. Average yield per acre was up 148
Pounds from 1982.

MARCH WEATHER SUMMARY

A series of Pacific storms spread above normal precipitation through the
Pacific Northwest. Heavy snow fell over the central Plateau and through most
of the Rocky Mountains. The storms intensified in the central Plains and
triggered snow in the central and northern Plains and showers and thunderstorms
from Oklahoma and central Texas into the lower Ohio Valley and along the east
coast from Georgia to New Jersey. Some of the storms created blizzard
conditions as they moved from the Midwest through New England. Late in the
month a line of devastating tornadoes swept through an area from northern
Georgia to southeastern Virginia. Early in the month a cold outbreak brought
temperatures in the mid-twenties to the peach orchards of Georgia and caused
minor losses’ of blooms. Monthly average temperatures were significantly
colder than normal from the central Plains through New England, as much as 10
degrees colder in the eastern Corn Belt. The west coast was 4 to 6 degrees
warmer than normal.

MARCH FIELDWORK

Rain and wet fields delayed spring fieldwork across much of the Oelta
States and the Southeast during March. Rain and snow throughout the month
increased soil moisture supplies, but limited topdressing of wheat, land
preparation, and seeding of small grains from the central Plains through the
Corn Belt. Cool temperatures Timited potential small grain and pasture growth
from the central Plains into the southern Corn Belt for most of the month.

As March began, corn planting was underway from Texas to Georgia, when
field conditions permitted. By the end of the month, planting extended
northward to southern Virginia; progress was well behind normal across the
South, except in Texas and Louisiana. Replanting was necessary in some areas
as heavy rains eroded fields late in the month. Emerged plants were in only
fair condition across the extreme South due to wet fields. Land preparation
was virtually at a standstill in the Corn Belt because of wet conditions
throughout the month. Plowing was behind normal at the end of March. Grain
sorghum planting was limited to Texas. Growers had seeded 45% of their
acreage by the end of the month, compared with 50% average for that date.
Cotton planting was widespread in Arizona and moved into central Texas by late
March. California cotton planting got underway late in the month. At the end
of March, rice seeding was 18% finished in Louisiana, 26% complete in Texas,
and just getting started in Mississippi. Tobacco growers actively seeded
plant beds and early seedings had emerged in most areas. Transplanting was
delayed by continued wet conditions; reaching only 4% completion in South
Carolina and 21% in Georgia, by early April. Plants were in fair to good
condition. Peaches bloomed from Arkansas to South Carolina and the crop
showed no significant weather related damage. Cool, wet conditions confined
vegetable planting to the extreme South for much of the month, while
harvesting continued active in the major winter producing areas.

WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat was in fair to good condition in late March, except in
western portions of the central and southern Plains and dryland fields in the
Southwest where dry conditions last fall and this spring left stands thin and
in poor condition, Above-normal winterkill became evident in some areas of
the central Plains and the Corn Belt as stands began to grow, but the extent
of possible damage farther north waS unknown as the crop was just breaking
dormancy in many areas as the month ended. By the end of March, wheat was
greening as far north as Montana, jointing across the South, and heading on
early planted fields in the Southwest. Soil moisture was generally adequate
except fn west Texas and on dryland stands in the Southwest.

Cool temperatures for much of the month in Kansas impeded wheat growth.
Some winterkill was reported on terrace tops. The crop was rated mostly fair
to good, except in the northwest where poor conditions prevailed, Light wind,
disease, and insect damage was reported in the southwestern and central
areas. Nebraska's winter wheat was rated mostly fair to poor with some
possible winterkill. The poorest conditfons were across the southern third. of
the State. Cool, wet weather fn Oklahoma delayed wheat growth for much of
March. Producers actively sprayed to control weed and disease infestations in
the North and West. Stands were in mostly good Condition by late in the
month. Wheat improved throughout the month in most areas of Texas. However,
dryland wheat remained stressed on the Plains where soi) moisture was critical
for most of the month. At the end of March, wheat was heading from the
Btacktands through central and south Texas. The crop was rated mostly fair to
jood. In Montana, wheat was rated mostly good, with adequate soil moisture.
tands began greening as the month ended. Rain and wet field conditions
delayed topdressing of wheat across the Corn Belt and in the Delta States and
Southeast for most of the month.

ORANGES: United States al] orange crop forecast at 176 million boxes (6.82

million metric tons) for 1983-84 season, 1 percent less than March 1
forecast, 22 percent below 1982-83 season. Florida crop forecast 119 million
boxes, 15 percent less than last season. Production early and mid-season
oranges in Florida - 69.7 million boxes -- fractfonally higher than last
month. Harvest fs complete. Florida Valencia forecast continues at 49.0
mitlion boxes, 29 percent less than 1982-83. Harvest 35 percent complete.
California Navel forecast 34.0 million boxes, 3 percent higher than March 1,
15 percent less than 1982-83. As of April 1, 77 percent of California's Navel
crop harvested. California's Valencia forecast 19.0 million boxes, 10 percent
less than last month, 47 percent below 1982-83.

Arizona crop expected 2.45 million boxes, down 14 percent from last month,
36 percent less than last season. Arizona harvest 37 percent complete.

Changes in U.S. orange production between April 1 forecast and final
production averaged 5.43 million boxes over past ten seasons, ranging from low
of 190 thousand boxes in 1974-75 to high of 12.6 million boxes in 1976-77
season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: Forecast 1983-84 Florida FCOU yield
is now 1.26 gallons per box at 42.0
degrees Brix equivatent. The yteld forecast is an estimate of the season
average which will be reported at end of the season by the Florida Citrus
Processor's Association. The FCOJ yield projection last month was 1.25
gallons per box. Final season average was 1.48305 gallons per box for 1982-83
and 1.27730 gallons per box for 1981-82 at 42.0 degrees Brix equivalent.

CITRUS HARVEST AND UTILIZATION: By April 1, 116 million boxes of oranges har-

vested -- 66 percent of U.S. crop, compared
with 109 million boxes or 48 percent on April 1, 1983. Processors had used 75
percent of the oranges harvested by April 1, 1984, compared with 72 percent
used to April I a year earlier,

Grapefruit harvest 74 percent complete by April 1 compared with 73 percent
on same date last year. Processors had used 55 percent of total crop
harvested by April 1, 1984, compared with 49 percent a year earlier.

Summer potato production for 1983 finalized at 17.6 million cwt (799
thousand metric tons), down 18 percent from 1982 and the smallest crop since
1980. Harvested area totaled 94,9 thousand acres (38.4 thousand hectares),
down 2 percent from 1982 and virtually the same as 1981. The average yield in
1983 fell to 186 cwt per acre compared with 221 cwt the previous year and 21t
in 1981.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: As of April 1, conditions in 37 estimating
States averaged 74 percent, 10 points below
Jast year and 1 point below the 1973-82 average. Conditions were lower than
last year in all States, except Loufsiana, which was higher, and Florida and
Ohio where conditions was the same as a year ago.

Moisture conditions, although quite variable, are generally adequate with
the exception of New Mexico and Texas where dry, windy weather in March
depteted soil of much needed moisture. The temperatures during March were
below normal in many areas of the country, consequently the pasture growth was
delayed. Warm weather is needed to encourage plant growth.

FLORIDA GENERAL CITRUS: Citrus groves good condition during most of March

despite some adverse weather. Morning of March 1 and
2, there were some below freezing temperatures reported in many citrus growing
counties. Cold temperatures were generally of short duration and caused very
little damage. Several hard rains provided adequate moisture during March,
Citrus trees not seriously damaged by Christmas freezes generally went through
their bloom cycle during March. By end of month, most trees experienced petal
drop and only a few trees were still blooming. This year's bloom cycle three
weeks ahead of normal. Early and mid-season oranges not freeze damaged that
held their quality, were harvested in light volume during March. This
excellent holding fruit was virtually all picked by the end of March.
Grapefruit movement very active during the month with the additional available
labor from the orange harvesting crews. Light Valencia orange harvest
continues.

PAPAYAS: Hawai? fresh papaya production in April is forecast at 5.50 million
—— pounds (2490 metric tons), a 4 percent drop from March, but more than
twice the output of last April which was reduced by drought and hurricane
damage. Production is expected to decline steadily in May, June and July to
5.10, 4.70 and 4,60 million pounds, (2310, 2130, and 2090 metric tons),
respectively.

March fresh production is estimated at 5.70 million pounds (2590 metric
tons), an increase of 21 percent from the previous month and 159 percent above
output of a year ago. The 1984 first quarter totals 15.1 million pounds (6830
metric tons), 75 percent above the same period last year. Total crop area in
March, at 3670 acres (1490 hectares), increased fractionally from February.
Harvested area totaled 2445 acres (990 hectares), a 2 percent increase from
February and 20 percent above last year.

POTATOES: fering potatoes forecast at 23.0 million cwt (1.04 million metric

tons), 26 percent above last year and 12 percent above two years
ago. Area for harvest estimated at 84.6 thousand acres (34.2 thousand
hectares), up 9 percent from last year and 4 percent above March 1. Avera e
yield forecast at 272 cwt per acre would be a record high, topping
previous record set in 198) by 6 cwt. The 1983 and 1982 yields averaged 335
and 264 cwt per acre, respectively.

California production forecast 11.1 million cwt, one-third above last year
and best overall outlook in several years. Growing conditions excellent,
