CROP PRODUCTION AUGUSTs 1975 B-22 CROP REPORTING BOARDs SRS» USDA


HOPS: Production of hops is forecast at 57.1 million pounds, nearly the same as last year but

4 percent larger than 1973. Acreage for harvest at 32,500 is virtually the same as
1974. Reduced acreage in Idaho is offset by increases in Oregon and Washington. Oregon is
the only State expecting higher production than a year ago.

Washington, which accounts for two-thirds of the hop acreage, expects,.slightly smaller
production than last year, The crop is slightly behind normal but hot, dry weather in early
July apurred plant growth. Harvest in early areas is expected to begin about mid-August with
remaining areas beginning later in the month,

In California, a crop smaller than last year is anticipated. Alternating hot and cool
weather has resulted in uneven development. Idaho's expected product{on is 11 percent below
1974. A late spring set the crop back. High winds and some hail damage occurred recently.
Oregon expects a 12 percent increase in production this year. The crop is somewhat late, but °
is in good condition.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: The condition of the Nation's pasture and range feed on August 1 was
80 percent. This is 14 points above a year ago and 2 points above the

1964-73 average for this date,

Conditions across the Nation were mostly good to excellent, However, there was a large
area in the upper midwest where conditions were mostly poor tp fair with pockets of severe
drought existing in southeastern South Dakota and in northwestern Missouri.

APPLES: The nation's 1975 commercial apple crop is forecast at 7.3 billion pounds, virtually

unchanged from the July 1 forecast, 13 percent above the 1974 utilized production and
17 percent above 1973. Increases from a year ago are expected in all States except Minnesota,
New Jersey and Oregon.

The Eastern States production is expected to total 3.2 billion pounds, about the same as
last month and 16 percent above last year. Production prospects in the New England States
continue above a year ago. Sizing of apples is still 10 - 15 days ahead of 1974. Hail in
Connecticut and a heavy drop reduced crop prospects. Growing conditions in Maryland have
been favorable with little damage from weather, disease or insacts. Crop prospects in New
Jersey declined from July because of hail and excess water. New York's crop is developing nor-
mally although a small portion of the crop was hit by hail. Moisture is needed in most
localities in Pennsylvania as harvest of early varieties has begun. Harvest in North Carolina
is underway. Above normal rainfall during July in Virginia enabled the crop to size well.

In the Central States, production of 1,3 billion pounds is expected, 17 percent above
last year's utilized crop. Above average temperatures and lack of moisture during July stressed
the Michigan crop but early August rains should help crop condition. Set of apples is adequate
for most varieties and harvest of summer varieties is well underway.

The Western States production is forecast at 2.8 billion pounds, 9 percent above last year.
In Washington, prospects for a record crop continued bright. Hot weather early in July caused
accasional sunburning. The crop is sizing very well, with sizes running well ahead of normal.
Harvest of California's Gravenstein apples was just beginning on August 1 in Sonoma and Santa
Cruz Counties. Development of other varieties is good. Weather has been favorable for sizing

in Idaho.

PEACHES: United States production is forecast at 2,961 million pounds, nearly the same as July 1

but 3 percent more than 1974, Excluding California clingstone peaches, total produc
tion is forecast at 1,441 million pounds, virtually the same as last month but 12 percent above
last year's utilized production.

California clingstone production is forecast at 1,520 million pounds, unchanged from July 1
but 5 percent below the 1974 crop, Harvest of the clingstone crop is about a week behind normal,
Extra early varieties are about half picked while harvest of other early varieties is getting
underway. No substantial brown rot problems have been reported, The California freestone crop
is expected to total 400 million pounds, unchanged from last month but 12 percent below last
year's utilized crop, Harvest was very active the first of August and is expected to continue
into October, Cullage is more than normal because of split pits and slab-sided fruit.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1975 B-3 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Crop conditions were generally favorable for barley during July, Near normal temperature
and light precipitation were encountered in most major producing States during the first of July.
However, hot, dry weather followed and signs of moisture stress became apparent the latter part
of the month. Montana was the major exception, receiving scattered showers intermittently
throughout the month.

Barley harvest is nearing completion in California but just starting in North Dakota.
Montana is further behind with only 50 percent of the crop turning color.

Changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate have averaged 10.5 million
bushels for the past 10 years, ranging from 0,9 million to 25.4 million bushels. During those
10 years, the August 1 forecast has been above the final 3 times by an average of 13.0 million
bushels and below 7 times by an average of 9.4 million bushels,

RIC

Rice production is forecast at a record high 124.8 million hundredweight, 9 percent above
the previous record set last year and 35 percent above the 1973 crop. The increase fron
a’year ago is the result of both increased acreage and higher yield expectations. Yield is
forecast at 4,543 pounds per acre, about 100 pounds above last year and about 220 pounds above
two years ago.

Average yield is expected to be equal to or above a year ago in all producing States. In
Arkansas, where the largest acreage is being grown this year, an excellent rice crop was in the
making ‘by August 1, Yield is expected to average 200 cwt. above last year. Early rice was
headed and harvest was expected to commence by mid~August.

In Louisiana, the rice crop is in good condition but frequent rains have caused lodging
in mature fields, Harvest had begun in southern Louisiana by August 1, Texas rice harvest was
well underway but behind normal progress. Rains and generally cloudy weather during the crit-
ical heading and bloom period may have reduced potential yield. Rice is later than normal in
California but a satisfactory crop is expected,

During the past decade, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate
averaged 3,6 million cwt., ranging from less than one-half million to 7.4 million. In 4 of the
10 years, the August 1 forecast was above the final by an average of 4.7 million cwt., and was
below 6 times by an average of 2.8 million.

RYE: The 1975 rye crop is expected to total 18.6 million bushels, slightly below the July 1
forecast, and 4 percent below last year, The decrease in production from a year earlier
is due to a reduction in harvested acreage although an increase in yield is partially offsetting.

Acreage harvested and to be harvested for grain is expected to total 807,000 acres
--the lowest on record-- compared with 897,000 acres last year. Yield is expected to average
23.0 bushels per acre, up from last year's yield of 21.5.

As of August 1, harvest in South Dakota was 78 percent complete compared with the normal
of 81, In minnesota, slightly over three-fourths of the crop had been swathed with about one-
third combined. About 20 percent of the North Dakota crop was combined which was normal for
this time.

During the past decade, changes in production from the August 1 forecast to the final
estimate averaged 1.1 million bushels, ranging from negligiblé to 3.0 million bushels, During
those 10 years the August 1 estimate has been above the final estimate 6 times by an average
of 1.4 million bushels, and below 4 times by an average of 0.6 million bushels.

FLAXSEED: The first forecast of 1975 flaxseed production is 16.3 million bushels, up sharply

from the 13,3 million bushels in 1974 and 1 percent more than the 1973 production.
Acreage for harvest is 1,57 million acres, 4 percent less than last year and compares with
1.69 million acres in 1973. The yield per harvested acre at 10.4 bushels is up from 1974 and
1973 which were 8.1 and 9.5 bushels respectively.

All flaxseed producing States are forecasting higher yields than last year. North Dakota,
the major producing State, expects a yield of 10.5 bushels compared with 7.5 bushels last year.
The increased flaxseed production reflects favorable weather conditions this year as compared ~
with the hot dry weather last July and early frost damage last September.

reached a critical stage because of the continuous hot, dry weather during July. As of August
1, corn planted late or on lighter soile was showing additional stress, In Iowa, 92 percent
of the acreage was in the silk or later state, compared with 74 percent last year and 85 per-
cent normal, Significant rainfall August 1-4 was restricted to the Northwest, North Central
and West Central districts; but the effects of this moisture are not reflected in the-State's
August 1 production forecast, In Nebraska, the dry, hot weather affected the dryland coin
which is mostly in fair to good condition while the irrigated corn is good to excellent.
Topsoil was generally short in Kansas with the eastern two-thirds of the State critically
short.

In the South and East, frequent rain showere during the letter half of July were very
beneficial to the corn crop. In nearly all States; yields improved over July 1. However, in
Kentucky and Tennessee, dry soil conditions continued to hamper crop development. In the
Western States, corn remaine in good condition but crop. development continues at least one
week behind normal.

Changes in production forecasts between August 1 and the final estimate have averaged 268
million bushels during the past 40 years, ranging from 7 to 625 million bushels. During this
10 year period, the August 1 forecast has been above the final estimate 4 times by an average
of 244 million bushels, and below 6 times by an average of 283 million bushels.

QATS: Production of oats is now foreaast at 698 million bushels, 12 percent above last year's

drought-stricken crop and 5 percent more than the 1973 crop. Yield per harvested acre
is expected to average 50.1 bushels, up 3.5 bushels from 1974 but down 2.6 bushels from a
month earlier. The decline from the July forecast is the result of unusually dry and hot July
weather in major oat producing States,

All major North Central oat States, except Iowa and Wisconsin, expect to obtain higher
yields this year than in 1974, In Iowa, yield potentials were reduced by the hot weather,
during kernel development. Harvest was nearing completion on August 1. Harvest was active in
South DaWota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Illinois, and was just getting a good start in North
Dakota by August 1.

Changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate have averaged 24 million
bushels for the past 10 years, ranging from 4 to 56 million bushels. The August 1 estimate has
been above the final estimate 7 times by an average 29 million bushels and below the final
estimate 3 times by an average of 12 million bushels.

ALL WHEAT: Production of all wheat is forecast at a record 2,141 million bushels, 19 percent

* more than last year's record crop and 26 percent above the 1973 crop. Acreage for
harvest, at 69 million acres is 5 percent above last year and 28 percent above 1973. This will
be the largest area harvested since 1952 when over 71 million acres were harvested. The
indicated yield of 31.1 bushels per acre is above last year's relatively low average of 27.4
but below the 1973 average yield of 31.7 bushels,

Changes between the August 1 forecast and final estimates have averaged 23 million bushels
during the past decade - ranging from 2 million to 60 million bushels: In 7 of the ten years,
the August 1 forecast was above the final by an average of 27 million, and 3 times it was
below by an average of 13 million bushels.

WINTER WHEAT: Winter wheat production is forecast at a record high 1,634 million bushels, vir-

tually unchanged from,the forecast made a month earlier but 17 percent above the
previous high set last year and 28 percent above 1973. The increase from a year earlier is the
result of increases in both yield and harvested acres.

Acreage to be harvested for grain is estimated at 51 million, 8 percent above last year, 33
percent above 1973, and the largest acreage harvested since 1952. Yield per acre is expected to
average 32.0 bushels, compared with 29.5 bushels last year and 33.1 two years ago.

Wheat harvest made good progress during July and was completed in most major States by mid-
month, slightly later than normal. Harvest was active on August 1 in the Northwest.

Changes in production between the August 1 forecasts and final estimates of production after
harvest have averaged 22 million bushels over the past decade, ranging from 2 million bushels to
42 million bushels. The August forecast was above the final estimate 9 of the 10 years by an
average of 21 million bushels and below once by 24 million bushels.

July Weather Summary

Extreme dryness or wetness was the norm rather than the exception for July. The central
and northern Great Plains and the western Corn Belt were exceptionally dry and unusually warm.
The southern Great Plains, the Southeast, and the Atlantic Coast States were well above normal
in precipitation and below normal in temperature.

The month began with serious flooding in the Red River Valley of Minnesota-North Dakota and
rains continued into early July. Rain fell nearly everywhere in the United States during the
2nd week of July, but heaviest amounts fell along the entire East Coast and the Gulf Coast States.
Northeast Louisiana had a record rainfall of more than 10 inches within 12 hours. Flash floods
were reported from North Carolina to New England. Precipitation was focused mainly on the
Southeast during the 4th week of July. Violent storms also lashed the Central Plains and middle
Mississippi Valley, with Illinois suffering the greatest damage from 85 mph winds at Peoria.

Temperatures in the northern half of the Nation were generally warmer than normal in July,
while the Southern States averaged below normal, Average temperatures during the Ist week of
July were above normal over most of the Nation, California, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and the
East Coast from New England through Georgia were below normal. Most of the Nation east of the
Continental Divide cooled to well below normal temperatures during the 2nd week with record low
temperatures at many midwestern locations on the 13th. Temperatures in the third week were again
above normal in the Northern States, but remained below normal in the South. Late in the month
temperatures were above normal over most of the country.

Row Crop Development Ahead of Normal But Moisture Becoming Critical in
Western Corn Belt

Above normal temperatures combined with much below normal rainfall in Iowa, Missouri, South
Dakota, eastern Kansas, southern Minnesota and adjacent areas in Illinois and Wisconsin placed
row crops under considerable stress, and timely August rains will be necessary to avoid a repeat
of the disappointing 1974 yields. One major difference is that development of row crops in the
Corn Belt is ahead of normal in 1975 and considerably ahead of 1974 progress. As of August 1,
crop development was at a critical stage with final production subject to the near term vagaries
of weather, as soil moisture supplies were mostly short in the western Corn Belt and short to
adequate in the eastern Corn Belt. Row crops in the South were making good growth as a result
of very favorable July rainfall. Small grain harvest gained momentum during July and winter
wheat harvest was more than 80 percent complete, near normal for August 1. Spring wheat harvest
is underway but slightly later than 1974.

CORN FOR GRA‘ Production of corn for grain is forecast at a record 5,850 million bushels
(149 million metric tons), 3 percent below the July 1 forecast but 26 percent

above last year's disappointing crop, and 4 percent above 1973.

Crop prospects as of August 1 indicate an average yield per acre of 87.4 bushels, a
decrease of nearly 3 bushels from July 1. This compares with 71.3 bushels last year and 91,2
bushels in 1973, Substantial decreases in yield prospects from July 1 are shown for all
major States in the western Corn Belt except Nebraska. The major decreases occurred in Iowa,
Missouri, and South Dakota, with reductions of 15, 13, and 10 bushels, respectively. Average
yields in the eastern portion of the Corn Belt remained unchanged from last month except for
Illinois, which increased 6 bushels. If these prospective yields are realized, 11linois would
rank ahead of Iowa in production of corn. Yield prospects were higher than a month ago in
nearly all States in the Eastern, Southern and Western regions.

Acreage for grain harvest is estimated at 66.9 million, virtually unchanged from the June
30 estimate and 3 percent above last year. Although there was little change in the U. S.
acreage for grain harvest,some state estimates have changed from the acreage estimate published
June 30. The major changes were: South Dakota, down 120,000 acres (5 percent); Iowa, down
100,006 acres (1 percent); and Minnesota, up 200,000 acres (3 percent).

Hot, dry July weather over much of the Corn Belt, particularly the western Corn Belt,
caused noticeable stress to the corn crop and reduced production prospects. By August 1, com
in most States was in fair to good condition and crop progress continued ahead of last year
except in Kansas and Nebraska. Illinois, with the aid of localized thundershowers, maintained
a good to excellent crop. Over 60 percent of the acreage had reached dough stage, compared
with 10 percent last year and 24 percent average. In contrast, the corn crop in Iowa had

1/ ESTIMATES FOR CURRENT YEAR CARRIED

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1975

FORWARD FROM EARLIER FORECAST.

BG

CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


COTTON: All cotton production as of August 1 is forecast at 9.4 million bales, down 18 percent from

the 1974 crop. Expected production consists of 9,3 million bales of Upland cotton and 66,600
bales of American-Pima. Cottonseed production, based on a three year average lint seed ratio, is forecast
at 3,7 million tone, 19 percent below 1974.

All cotton acreage planted in 1975 is estimated at 10,1 million acres, down 138,700 from the June 30
report and 27 percent below 1974. Cotton producers were able to plant most cotton acreage intended;
howaver, the crop is late. Slight downward changes were made in Arizona, California, Louisiana,
Mississippi and North Carolina based on surveys conducted after July 1. An upward change is reflected
in Alabama, Plantings of American-Pima cotton totaled 70,200 acres and are unchanged from June.

Planted acreages by States are: Arizona, 30,000; California, 200; New Mexico 13,000; and Texas, 27,000.

Producers expect to harvest 9.3 million acres this year compared with 12.5 million acres in 1974.
Abandonment is expected to be about normal as conditions are currently appraised, Average; lint yield per
acre is forecast at 484 pounds compared with 442 pounds produced in 1974,

Texas and Oklahoma Upland cotton producers expect to harvest 3.4 million bales in 1975, an increase
of 21 percent from last year but 34 percent below 1973. Harvest has begun in the Texas Coastal Bend and
Lower Rio Grande Valley areas but rain hae hampered progress, Crop damage occurred in both Texas and
Oklahoma, causing replanting and some loss of acreage.

In the Delta States--Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Missouri--2.8 million bales
are expected, down 22 percent from 1974. Acres for harvest are down 35 percent from 1974. Mississippi
and Louisiana are wet and late, Arkansas reports very good progress aided by frequent local showers as
do Tennessee and Missouri, The California, Arizona, and New Mexico Upland crop is forecast at 2.4
million bales, down 35 percent from 1974, Conditions in these States are favorable except for being
about two weeks late, .

Production in the Southeastern States--Ceorgia, Alabama, South Caroling, and North Carolins—-is
expected to total 760,000 bales, sow 44 percent from 1974, The crop is progressing well and prospects
appear good; however, recent wet weather has promoted excessive foliage growth and interrupted insect
control programs, .

The difference between the August 1 All Cotton forecast and final ginnings during the past 10 yeare
has averaged .7 million bales—ranging from 29,000 bales in 1965 to 1.8 million bales in 1969,

The Bureau of. the Census reports 29,835 bales ginned to August 1, compared with 144,607 bales
ginned to the same date in 1974 and 2,710 bales in 1973,

SORGHUM: Sorghum for grain production is forecast at 811 million bushels, up 29 percent from
last year's drought stricken 628 million bushel production but 13 percent below the
record high 930 million bushel 1973 crop.

Sorghum to be harvested for grain, at 14.8 million acres, is 7 percent more than last year,
but 6 percent below the 1973 acreage. Yield per harvested acre is expected to average 54.6
bushels, up sharply from last year's very low yield.

Higher yields are expected this year in all major producing States. Texas, Kansas, and
Nebraska» (the three largest sorghum producing States) ate expecting yield increases of 6,7, and
29 bushels per acre, respectively.

Harvest of the sorghum crop in Texas is 37 percent complete, slightly behind last year

but well ahead of average. In Kansas, the crop is 20 percent headed while the Nebraska crop
is 55 percent headed.

Changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate have averaged 37 million
bushels for the past 10 years, ranging from 4 to 128 million bushels. During those past 10
years, the August 1 forecast has been above the final 5 times by an average of 34 million
bushels and below 5 times by an average of 39 million bushels. :

BARLEY: Barley production is forecast at 389 million bushels, down 2 percent from July 1, large-
ly as the result of flooding in the Red River Valley of the North, This forecast is 2§
percent above 1974 production but 8 percent below 1973. The expected average yield per acre of

45,0 bushels is virtually unchanged from July 1 but 7.8 and 4.7 bushels above 1974 and 1973
respectively,

The harvested acreage estimate of 8.64 million ahows a 2 percent decline from the June -

Acreage Report, This reflects the acres lost by flood damage in the Red River Valley of North
Dakota and Minnesota.

POTATOES: Total harvested acreage for the nation's 1975 potato crop (all seasons) is estimated
at’ 1.26 million acres, 9 percent less than the 1.39 million acres harvested in 1974
and 3 percent below 1973. .

Fall crop planted acreage this year is placed at 1.08 million acres, 1 percent below the
1975 March 1 prospactive plantings. Plantings are down from last year in all regions of the U.S.

Fall crop acreage for harvest is estimated at 1.05 million acres, down 8 percent from the
revised 1.14 million acres harvested in 1974 and 2 percent below the 1973 crop.

For the Eastern States, the 1975 (fall acreage for harvest is estimated at 214,200 acres, a
decrease of 10 percent from last year's 238,500 acres and 8 percent below 1973. Estimated
acreage for harvest declined in all States except Vermont, which remained unchanged. Acreage in
Maine is down 18,000 acres and accounts for most of the decline in the Eastern States.

In the Central States, the 1975 fall-acreage for -harvest is placed at 268,800 acres, This
is a decline of 18 percent from the 328,900 acres harvested in 1974 and a 15 percent reduction
from 1973, All States except Indiana and Nebraska have lower acreage than last year, Flooding
in the Red River Valley reaulted in considerable loss of planted acreage. Abandonment in North
Dakota and Minnesota combined is estimated at 26,000 acres compared with 9,000 acres not
harvested in 1974,

In the West, estimated acreage for harvest in 1975, 1s placed at 563,900 acres, 2 percent
below last year’s 573,000 acres harvested but 9 percent above 1973. In Idaho, acreage for
harvest ig estimated at 322,000 acres compared with 342,000 acres harvested in 1974, Western
States with sizable increases in acreage this year include Washington, Oregon and Nevada.

The fall potato crop is later than normal throughout most regions of the United States.
The crop in Maine lacks the uniformity it had last year and is spotty. In Idaho, growing condi-
tions since planting have been favorable. The crop is expected to be 10 days later than normal,
In Washington, following some delays in planting, weather conditions have been favorable: during
the growing season and fields are in good condition. Harvest started in southern fields in late
July.

Summer crop potato production is forecast at 20.8 million cwt., down 4 percent from last
month and 17 percent below the 25,2 million cwt., harvested in 1974, Production is down from
last year in all States except Illinois, Maryland, Nebraska, New Mexico and Tennessee. Heavy
rains during July reduced yield and quality prospects in Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina
and Virginda.

Harvest in Alabama's Sand Mountain area is nearing completion with good yields reported.
In California, the crop is one to two weeks later than normal but yield prospects are excellent.
The Hemet district harvest is nearly complete while digging in San Joaquin County is getting
underway. Heavy rainfall in Delaware! and New Jersey caused flooding and some loss of acreage.
In Virginia, rains delayed harvest and reduced the quality of the late crop.

The Bay County area of Michigan began harvest in mid-July, Yield ahd quality are good.
Irrigation was necessary after mid-July in Minnesota. Active harvest is now getting underway.
Harvest in New Mexico is expected to begin hy mid-September, The crop is progressing normally.
Digging in the High Plains of Texas is expected to be active through August and September.

SWEETPOTATOES: The first sweetpotato production forecast for 1975 is 13.8 million cwt., 1

percent above the 13.7 million cwt. harvested in 1974, Acreage for harvest is
estimated at 123,200 acres, up 3 Percent from last year while average yields are placed at 112
cwt. per acre compared with last year's average of 114 cwt. Fields are in good condition de~
spite ample to excessive moisture in most eastern producing States. Vines have been making
good growth.

Excess rainfall in Louisiana delayed planting and hampered cultivation and spraying for
insect control. Reduced acreage and lower average yields account for a reduction of over one
million cwt. in expected production compared with last year. Harvest has begun in Acadia and
St. Martin Parishes. Normal yields are expected in North Carolina despite wet July weather -
conditions. With increased acreage, the higher production prospects in North Carolina virtually
offset the production decline expected in Louisiana. Fields are making good progress in Texas.
A few dry land fields are in need of additional rainfall. Harvest will be light until
September. Crop conditions in California are extremely variable due to earlier wind damage and
cold weather. The crop is two to three weeks late.

PEANUTS: Peanut production is forecast at a record high 3,747 million pounds (net weight), 2

percent above the 3,668 million pounds produced in 1974, the previous record, The
indicated yield of 2,504 pounds, also a record high, is 13 pounds above the previous record set
@ year ago. Acreage to be harvested for nuts this year is placed at nearly 1.5 million acres,
2 percent more than were harvested in 1974,

The Virginia-Carolina area is expected to produce 698 million pounds, up 3 percent from
1974. Acreage is virtually unchanged from last year. Heavy rains during the first three weeks
of July caused flooding and turned many fields yellow in both States. The resulting wet fields
delayed disease control programs during this period.

In the Southeast, 2,301 million pounds are forecast, 2 percent less than last year's crop.
Acreage to be harvested is set at 796,500 acres, 1 percent more than last year. Indicated yield
is 2,889 pounds, 68 pounds below the record set a year ago, Disease problems, especially white

mold, have caused concern in Georgia and Florida with frequent rains in Georgia decreasing the
effectiveness of control.

The Southwest area peanut crop is expected to total 747 willion pounds, 16 percent more ‘than
the 1974 crop. Acreage for harvest is up 5 percent, with virtually all of the increase in Texas.
Indicated yield for the area, at 1,735 pounds, is 163 pounds above last year's yield, Texas
peanuts were in good condition throughout the State with few insect or disease problems, Ade~
quate moisture was reported in most areas except the Cross-Timbers where recent rains brought
only temporary relief from dryness. Harvest of early seeded south Texas fields began in late

July but was halted by wet weather. The Oklahoma crop was reported in good condition—many
fields were in bloom.

HAY: All hay production for 1975 is forecast at 130 million tons, 3 percent above 1974 but 3

percent below 1973, The largest increases are expected in North Dakota, Nebraska, and
Kansas and the largest decreases are expected in New York and Idaho. Acreage expected to be
harvested is 61.5 million acres, 2 percent above last year but 1 percent below 1973. Yield of
all hay ie forecast at 2.12 tone per acre compated with 2.10 in 1974 and 2,17 in 1973.

Production of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures is forecast at 76 million tons,'2 percent above
the 1974 production of 74 million tons, but 4 percent below the 79 million tons produced in
1973. Yield is expected to be 2,85 tons per acre, up slightly from 1974 and equal to the
1973 yield.

Alfalfa production is expected to be down slightly in Wisconsin, California, and Iowa --
three of the four largest’ alfalfa producing States. Minnesota, the third largest producer,
éxpects a slight increase in production.

Production of all other hay is forecast at 54 million tons, up 3 percent from last year
but 3 percent below 1973. Yield is forecast at 1.56 tons per acre, about equal to 1974 but
below the 1,62 tons per acre in 1973,

DRY EDIBLE BEANS: Production of dry edible beans is forecast at 19.5 million cwt., 6 percent

below 1974 production. Yield, at 1,326 pounds, is nearly the same as last
year,

In Michigan, the largest dry bean producing State, many early planted fields were crusted
from heavy rains soon after planting necessitating some replanting. High temperatures and dry
soils caused some blossom drop during late July, About half the fields had bloomed by August 1.
The New York bean crop was in good condition and approaching full bloom by August 1. Some
bloom drop has occurred in California because of hot weather,

DRY EDIBLE PEAS: Dry edible peas production is forecast at 2,3 million cwt., 29 percent below

1974 production, The three States--Idaho, Oregon and Washington--intend to
harvest 165,500 acres, 22 percent below last year’s harvested rotal. Yield is expected to
average 1,387 pounds, 128 pounds below the 1974 average.

Harvesting of early dry peas in’ Washington is underway although rain during early August
hampered the start, Hot weather during early July reduced yields in both Washington and Idaho.
Some hail damage was also reported in both States.

DURUM _WHEA’

Production of durum wheat is forecast at a record high 125 million bushels, up 58
percent from 1974 and $9 percent above two years ago. Both acreage and yield are
up sharply from last year. The 6 percent decline from the July 1 forecast is due to hot dry
weather during July in the major producing area,

Yield is expected to average 27.7 bushels per acre based on August 1 conditions, compared
with 19.8 bushels last year and 27.2 in 1973, Acreage for harvest is expected to total 4.5 mil-
lion acres, 13 percent more than last year, 56 percent above 1973 and the largest since 1930
when 4.7 million acres were harvested. Durum wheat acreage lost due to flooding in the Red River
Valley was small and is reflected in the current estimate of acres for harvest.

Hot, dry weather during July lowered crop prospects in the Dakotas while warm weather and
timely rains were beneficial to the Montana crop, The durum wheat harvest is later than normal.

During the past 10 years, changes in production from the August 1 forecast to the final
estimate have averaged 4.3 million bushels, ranging from a low of virtually no change to a high
of 10.9 million bushels. The August 1 forecast was above the final estimate S of the 10 years
by an average of 3.6 million bushels and below 5 times by an average 5.1 million bushels.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: Production of spring wheat, other than durum, is forecast at 382

million bushels, 18 percent above last year's crop and 8 percent above 1973.
The increased production over last year is due to higher expected yields as lower harvested
acreage is only partially offsetting. The 9 percent decline from the July 1 forecast is the

result of lower yields caused by the hot, dry July weather in the Dakotas and Minnesota.

The 1975 crop is now forecast: to yield an average 28.6 bushels per acre, up from the rela-
tively low 22.5 bushels last year and the 28.3 bushels in 1973. Acreage for harvest was reduced
310,000 acres from the June 30 Acreage report due to flood damage in North Dakota and Minnesota.
Acres harvested and to be harvested, at 13.3 million, is 7 percent below the 14.3 million acres
harvested last year, but 7 percent above 1973.

Harvest was well underway by August 1 in South Dakota, slightly behind normal, while harvest
in North Dakota and Minnesota was just getting started. In these three States, hot, dry July
weather lowered yield prospects, while flooding and standing water from heavy rains in late June
reduced both yield ‘and acreage in many Red River localities. The Montana crop was turning but
none was ripe by August 1; normally 10 to 20 percent of the crop is ripe by this time.

During the past 10 years, changes in production from the August 1 forecast to the final
estimate averaged 16.8 million bushels, ranging from a low of 4.0 to a high of 38.0 million
bushels. During that period, the August 1 forecast was above the final estimate 5 times by an
average of 16 million bushele and below 5 times by an average of 17 million bushels.

SOYBEANS: Soybean production is forecast at 1,458 million bushels, the second largest crop of

record. Production at this level would be 18 percent more than last year's crop, but
6 percent below the 1973 record crop of 1,547 million bushels. Condition of the crop on August
i indicates a yield of 27.2 bushels per acre, 3.7 bushels more than last year but one-half bushel
elow 1973.

Planted acreage, now estimated at 54.6 million acres, is virtually the same as the June 30
estimate. More than the usual amount of double cropping in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Missouri
nearly offset wet areas in Louisiana and Mississippi that were not planted. Acres for harvest as
beans total 53.5 million acres, 2 percent more than 1974 but 4 percent less than the 1973 crop of
55.8 million acres.

Soybean yield prospects are better than last year in major producing States. All North
Central States except South Dakota expect to exceed last year's yields by margins of 1.0 to 10.5
bushels. Illinois, the largest producer, has an indicated record yield of 35 bushels, 10.5
bushels above last year. Iowa, the second largest producer, has been plagued by dry weather and
expects 31 bushels per acre. Iowa's record yield was 36 bushels per acre in 1972. Development
of the crop is ahead of last year and normal. In Illinois, the percent of plants setting pods
was 70 percent compared with 17 percent in 1974 and 35 percent average. Iowa had 60 percent
setting pods compared with 29 percent last year and 41 percent average.

Production changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate averaged 39 million

bushels during the past decade, ranging from 1 million to 81 million bushels. During those 10
years, the August 1 forecast was above the final estimate 4 times and below 6 times.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1975 ren CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


The South Carolina peach crop, at 220 million pounds, is up 2 percent from both last month
and last year. Harvest is mostly complete except in the Piedmont area which is in full swing.
Maryland's crop is down slightly from last month because of hail damage in some areas, Peaches
sized well during July in Michigan, Hot, dry weather in late July pushed the crop toward
maturity and harvest is now underway. Prospects in New Jersey are down from July because of
excessive rain. Brown rot is heavy in some orchards. New York's crop is developing normally
with adequate moisture for sizing. Pennsylvania peaches are of good quality although sizing has
not progressed as expected due to lack of moisture, Harvest in Virginia and West Virginia will
be in full swing by mid-August. In Washington, growing conditions during July were favorable but
the crop is about a week behind normal.

PEARS: Total pear production is forecast at 747,750 tons, 2 percent above last year's utilized

crop. Oregon and Washington expect a smaller crop while all other States expect larger
production than a year ago. Barlett pear production in Washington, Oregon and California is
forecast at 518,000 tons, unchanged from July 1 but 5 percent above last year, Harvest is well
underway in California and quality is excellent. Harvest of a good quality crop in Oregon and
Washington is expected to begin by mid-August. Production of pears other than Bartletts in the
Pacific Coast States is forecast at 176,500 tons, down 2 percent from last month and 13 percent
below a year ago. California's expected production is down 39 percent from last year while
Oregon is down 10 percent and Washington is off 14 percent. Quality in the three State area is
good and harvest is expected to get underway in late August or early September,

In Michigan and New York, crop prospects remained the same as last month, Moisture in
Michigan was generally sufficient and harvest’ will get underway in early August. In New York,
pears are sizing adequately despite periods of dry weather..

GRAPES: The U.S. grape crop is forecast at 4.3 million tons, 2 percent more than last year but

2 percent below the record set in 1965. Prospects in California at 3.85 million tons
are dow substantially from last month's forecast of 4,2 million tons, The lower prospects this
month are based on the objective measurement survey conducted in July. Although the crop has
lueh vine growth the average bunch lengths are shorter than last year. California production of
raisin varieties forecast at 2,0 million tons, down from the 2.25 million tons forecast last
month but 2 percent above last year. Wine variety production in California is expected to total
1.35 million tons, down 50,000 tons from last month's forecast but 11 percent above last year.
Table variety prospects at 0.5 million tons are 75,000 tons below the July 1 forecast and down
19 percent from a year ago.

New York's production at 155,000 tons is expected to be down 12 percent from a year ago as
a result of fewer bunches per vine and less berries per bunch, Prospects in Washington are for
a crop of 110,000 tons, 37 percent above last year. This increase is due largely to new acreage
coming into production for the first time,
PRUNES AND PLUM: Production of prunes and plums in Michigan, Idaho, Washington and Oregon is
forecast at 77,000 tons, 9 percent.above last year and up 16 percent from
1973. Prospects in Oregon and Michigan are above last year but lower in Idaho and Washington.

WALNUTS: The 1975 walnut crop, forecast at a record 191,200 tons is unchanged from last month,
—_—~ 22 percent more than last year and 9 percent above the previous record set in 1973.
The crop is in good condition despite sunburn damage and aphid infestation in a few orchards.

MINT FOR OIL: The 1975 _peppermint for oil crop is forecast at 3.8 million pounds, an increase of
— 14 percent from the previous year. Most of the crop has been harvested in Indiana
and yields are well above last year. Progress of the Idaho crop is much later this year due to ~
the late spring, and yields are expected to be lower than a year ago. In Wisconsin, where har-
vesting is well underway, this year's crop is suffering from winter damage and yields are down.
In spite of a slow start earlier in the year, the Oregon crop made good progress during July and
yields are expected to be better than last year.

The spearmint for oil crop is expected to total 1.7 million pounds this year, an increase of
18 percent from the 1974 output. Harvesting of the Indiana crop is past the halfway mark and
yields have been good. Because of winter damage, yield prospects in Wisconsin are below a year
ago. The cold, wet spring also had an effect on the Idaho spearmint crop as yields are expected
to be less than last year. After cool weather early in the year, the Washington crop responded
well to moderate July temperatures and yield prospects look good.

CROP PRODUCTION AUGUST, 1975 B14 CROP REPANTING ROAR, SRS, USDA


TOBACCO: Production of all tobacco is forecast at 2,220 million pounds, up 12 percent from the
1974 output. I£ this production is realized, it would be the largest crop harvested

since 1964, The higher prospective production is attributed to 17 percent more flue-cured, a

4 percent gain in burley, 17 percent jump in fire-cured, 16 percent increase in dark air-cured,

and 2 percent larger cigar binder crop. Production of all other types is expected to be below a

year earlier, Yield per acre is indicated at 2,049 pounds, compared with the 1974 yield of 2,066

pounds.

Flue-cured crop is forecast at 1,449 million pounds, 17 percent larger than the 1,241 million
pounds harvested in 1974 and the largest crop produced during the last 20 years. With yield per
acre only slightly higher than a year earlier, the larger production can be attributed mostly to
a 16 percent increase in acreage.

Fire-cured growers expect to harvest a crop totaling 37.4 million pounds, 17 percent above
the 1974 record low crop of 31,9 million pounds,

Burley output is forecast at 639 million pounds, up 4 percent from the previous year, An
increase of 7 percent in acreage is responsible for the larger anticipated production.

Southern Maryland tobacco production is forecast at 25.3 million pounds, down 16 percent
from the revised 1974 outturn of 30.2 million pounds,

Dark gir-cured prospects point to a crop of 14,5 million pounds, up 16 percent from the
record low production of 12.5 million pounds in 1974,

All cigar production is forecast at 54.7 million pounds, down 11 percent from the 1974 output.
The decline is primarily due to a decrease in acreage utilized for cigar filler and wrapper:

Differences between the August 1 forecast and final estimates for all tobacco have averaged
60 million pounds during the past decade, ranging from 17 million to 141 million pounds. The
Auguat 1 forecast was above the final éstimate 6 of the 10 years by an average of 73 million
pounds and below 4 times by an average or 42 million pounds,

SUGARBEETS: Production of sugarbeets is forecast at 28.1 million tons, 1 percent below the

1972 record crop of 28,4 million tons but 27 percent larger than the 1974 output,
The increase in 1975 production results from a 24 percent advance in acreage for harvest and
slightly higher average yield, 18.7 tons compared with 18.2 in 1974.

Flooding in the Red River Valley resulted in the loss of an estimated 28,000 acres in
Minnesota and 6,000 acres in North Dakota, Recent rains in the Renville area were beneficial
to the crop. Hot, dry weather in late July in North Dakota has not been damaging to the crop .
at this time. Maturity of the crop in Utah, Wyoming, and Montana is later than normal,
Stands are thin on some acreages in Utah and Michigan, Ideal conditions have prevailed in
Washington where development has been excellent. Prospects in California, Ohio and Nebraska are
good but irrigation is required almost continually in Nebraska due to the shortage of moisture.

Changes between the August 1 forecast and final estimates have averaged 0.7 million tons
during the last ten years--ranging from 0.1 to 1.7 million tons,

The August 1 forecast was above the final estimate 4 of the 10 years by an average of 0.3
million tons and below 6 times by an average of 1.0 million tons.

SUGARCANE FOR SUGAR & SEED: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 28.5 mil-

— “Lion tons, up 14 percent from the 1974 output of 25.0 million tons.

The larger prospective production can be attributed to a 6 percent advance in acreage and higher

average yield of 36.7 tons per acre, up 2.6 tons from 1974, All States, except Louisiana, expect
yields to average above a year earlier.

Moisture in Florida and Louisiana has been ample for good growth. An abundance of rainfall
in Texas resulted in the crop being in very good condition with only limited irrigation being
required. Conditions have been favorable in Hawaii except in the northern section of the Hamakua
coast where moisture is needed.
