CROP REPORT SUMMARY AS OF MAY 1, 1971

Prospective production of winter wheat is expected to be 9 percent below last year and 11
percent less than in 1969, according to the Crop Reporting Board. Fieldwork was making ex-
cellent headway in the Corn Belt on May 1. ‘The 1971 corn crop was being planted in record time
in many States. April was extremely dry in the Corn Belt and rain will be needed in May to get
the crop off to a good start. By May 1, soybean planting was underway. Land preparation and
planting were delayed during April in most Atlantic, Southern and Western States, but progress
was near normal. Moisture on May 1 was generally short, except in the northern Rockies,
northern Great Plains, and Southeast.

Peach prospects in the 9 Southern States were 8 percent below last year. The record high
1970-71 orange crop was expected to be 5 percent greater than output last season. Hay stocks
on farms were 8 percent below a year earlier. Pasture condition on May 1, at 74 percent of
normal, was the lowest reported for the date since 1956. Growth of hay was slowed by dry, cool
weather. Indicated production of both potatoes and spring vegetables for fresh market was less
than last year.

Winter Wheat Prospects Down 9 Percent From Last Year

The 1971 winter wheat crop is expected to be 9 percent less than last year and 11 percent
‘pelow the crop of 1969. The decline from 1970 is the combined result of lower yields and fewer
acres harvested for grain. Prospective output is 2 percent below last December's forecast.

Kansas prospects are good to excellent; however, poorer conditions exist in southwest
counties. Nonirrigated wheat continued to suffer in western Oklahoma, Texas, and the Southwest.

Cool weather slowed growth in Nontana ani the Pacific Northwest. Moisture is adequate and
May 1 crop prospects appear good. Cool, dry weather retarded small grain development east of
the Mississippi River. Grain fields were starting to ripen in the Deep South, with limited

combining underway in early fields.

Southern Peach Prospects Below Last Year

Production in the 9 Southern States is forecast 8 percent below last year and 23 percent
below 1969. The No. 1 and 2 southern producers -- South Carolina and Georgia -- expect crops 7
percent and 3 percent smaller than last year, respectively. Arkansas and Louisiana expect
larger harvests, but all other southern peach States expect output to be down.

California's almond crop is expected to totel a record breaking 140,000 tons, 9 percent more
than last year's crop and 15 percent above 1969. Frost hit all areas during bloom, doing
moderate damage to early varieties but only light to minor damage to mid and late blooming types.

The 1970-71 orange crop is now forecast at 194.2 million boxes, down 3.9 million boxes from
last month. Florida's Valencia crop is 4.0 million boxes less than last month but output in
Texas is up 0.1 million boxes. California and Arizona are unchanged. Harvest was about 70
percent complete by May 1. Grapefruit production is expected to total 60.3 million boxes, 1.5
million boxes above a month earlier. Only about 10 percent of the crop remained for harvest
by May 1. Lemon prospects remained unchanged from April 1 at 16.8 million boxea, 8 percent
more than last year. Harvest had just passed the halfway mark by May 1. Forecasts for
tangerines, tangelos, and temples are unchanged from last month as harvest of these crops is
complete.

‘Spring Vegetable and Potato Production Down

Production of spring vegetables (excluding melons) for fresh market in 1971 is expected
to be 5 percent leas than in 1970 and 2 percent below 1969. Output is expected to be down
from last year for snap beans, cehbsga, carrots, cauliflower, sweet corn, cucumbers, lettuce,
onions, spinach and tomatoes. Production is expected to be up for asparagus, broccoli, celery
and green peppers. Strawberry prospects are 5 percent below 1970. Early spring potato pro-
duction is off 12 percent from 1970, but late spring output is practically the same as last year.

By the end of April, 135.5 million boxes of oranges -- about 70 percent of the U. S. crop --
had been harvested, compared with 125.7 million boxes or 68 percent of the crop harvested a year
earlier. Processors used 78 percent of the oranges harvested by May 1, in contrast to 76 per-

cent last year.

Grapefruit harvest was 90 percent camplete by May 1, somewhat ahead of last year when 87
percent of the crop hed been harvested. ‘To date, processors have utilized 62 percent of the

erop harvested, compared with 59 percent a year earlier.

About 52 percent of the lemons had been picked by May 1, in contrast to 54 percent last
season. Thus far, processors have taken about 47 percent of the crop, compared with 48 percent
by May 1, 1970. Lemon utilization reported for April 1 was in error. Instead of 53 percent
of the crop being harvested by April 1, the correct figure is 4 percent.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED ORANGE JUICE YIELD: The projected season average frozen concentrated
orange juice yield, adjusted to reflect current

juice factors and plant recovery rates, is 1.20 gallons per box, the same as last month. Last
season's yield was 1.24 gallons per box. The projected yield is based on past relationships
between pounds solid yield for oranges reported in the "Maturity Test Results" and the season
average yield per box of 45 degree Brix frozen concentrated orange juice reported by the Florida
Canners Association. This yield can differ from the final yield because of sampling error,
weather, harvest schedule, and changes in juice factors or recovery rates.

GRAPEFRUIT: The Nation's grapefruit crop is set at 60.3 million boxes, 1.5 million more than

on April 1. Thia is 12 percent above last season's output and 11 percent more than
the 1968-69 crop. Changes between the May 1 forecast and final production totals averaged 1.5
million boxes over the past six seasons, ranging from 0.1 to 3.1 million.

Florida's crop is forecast at 43,0 million boxes, 1.0 million more than a month earlier;
15 percent above last season, and 8 percent above the 1968-69 harvest. Changes between the
May 1 forecast and final production over the past six seasons, using comparable forecasting
methods, have averaged 1.1 million boxes, ranging from 0.4 to 2.6 million. Harvest was nearly
complete by May 1. Most of the remaining fruit was in the Indian River area. Dry weather
during April placed stress on citrus trees in all areas and reduced the supply of irrigation
water. New crop grapefruit drop has been heavy which is normal,

The Texas crop is forecast at 10.0 million boxes, up 0.5 million from the April 1 forecast,
23 percent higher than last season, and nearly 50 percent larger than 1968-69. Harvest was in
the final stages by May 1, although small supplies should be available during May. Peak bloom
occurred in March but was erratic and some trees continued to bloom into April. Light showers in
nay Aprid Provided only temporary relief from the drought and frequent irrigation continues to
e necessary. .

Arizona’e grapefruit prospects, at 2.5 million boxes, are unchanged from last month and 21
percent less than lest season. Harvest 1s active but due to the fri » tuch of the fruit 1s
being processed or used for livestock feed.

Corn Pi of

Corn planting made excellent headway in the Corn Belt during April ani by May 1 acreage
seeded was well ahead of average. Corn planting was at a record pace in many States. In the
Corn Belt, clear, dry April weather ellowed farmers to spend over 20 days plowing, disking, and
seeding. Normally, spring rains and wet fields limit April field work to half this time.

Areas hard hit by southern corn leaf blight in 1970 are pushing corn planting in hopes of
beating the disease in 1971.

Planting would be farther along but some corn growers in colder sreas are waiting for the
end of the frost damage period. Isack of rain also caused a slowlown in some regions as soils
were too dry to cultivate.

Barly planted fields are starting to emerge. Rain ani wamer temperatures are needed to
speed germination and plant growth. For the second straight month, rain was under 50 percent
of normal for much of the Corn Belt. In Iowa, the Nation's leading corn producer in 2 of the
last 3 years, March-April rainfall was the lowest since 1934 and 1936.

Missouri farmers had 61 percent of the crop planted by May 1. Ohio and Illinois grovers
had 45 and 35 percent of their respective acreages in. Jowa and Indiana hed 20 percent of the
crop planted.

Outside the Corn Belt, planting was shead of last year and nearing completion in several
States. Kentucky farmers were seeding at a record pace, and were 57 percent complete. Most
corn acreage in the Southeast was over half planted. Georgia growers reseeded some acreage
because of dry soils and crusting caused by heavy rains.

Pastures Continue Poor

Condition of pastures continued poor during April. At 74 percent of normal, condition is
12 points below May 1, 1970 and 9 points umier the 1960-69 May 1 average. Hast of the Missis~
sippi River, below normal temperatures coupled with below normal precipitation accounted for
the reduced prospects. Condition varied widely in the West. In the Southwest supplemental
feeding was necessary because of record low pasture conditions. In the Northern Great Plains,
wamer weather in late April boosted ‘growth.

Hay growth generally lagged behind normal in most areas with mich of the crop needing more
precipitation and warmer weather. Some first cuttings of hay were getting underway in the
southern tier of States. No major insect damage has been noted.

WINTER WHEAT: Winter wheat production is forecast at 1,021 million bushels, 9 percent below a

year earlier and the smallest since 1965. Prospective production is off 2 per-
cent from the December 1 forecast, mainly because drouth in the Southern Plains caused much
acreage abandonment and reduced yield prospects. ‘Improved prospects in Kansas, Colorado and
the Northwest offset much of the decline in Texas and Oklahoma. Changes in production between
the May 1 forecast and harvest have averaged 29 million bushels for the past decade -- ranging
from 8 million to 68 million bushels.

‘The indicated yield per harvested acre is 31.4 bushels, 2 bushels below last year's record
high but slightly above 1969. Acreage expected for grain harvest is 32.5 million, 3 percent
below last year and the smallest since 1957. Indicated grain acreage is 85.3 percent of the
planted acreage, compared with 87.1 percent in 1970 and 85.2 percent in 1969.

- Kansas wheat made favorable progress during late April with the benefit of mich needed
general rain received after mid-month. However, State-wide April precipitation was only two-
thirds normal and same southwest and south central counties were very short on soil moisture.
At mid-April, plant height was slightly less than last year and the shortest in 9 years. On
May 1 more than three-fourths of the crop was in or past the jointing stage and 5 percent was
headed. This was ahead of last year and average.

April Cold and Dry

o , Mush of the Nation endured another cold, dry month during April. ‘Temperatures were mostly
2° to k° velow normal, except in the North Central States, eastern Florida and central Texas.

The traditional April showers were few and far between. April was dry in the Nation's east-
ern half with precipitation generally less than 75 percent of normal. Moisture was extremely
scarce from Missouri and Iowa eastward into Pennsylvania. However, this enabled corn planting to
get off to a fast start. Precipitation was above normal in the West but mch of the Southwest re-
ceived little moisture.

‘The eastern section of the Nation was cold throughout the month. However, springlike weather
did occur in mid-April. Record low temperaturea for April were set in the South.

Early April was hot and dry in the West. But by mid-month cool temperatures invaded the
area and continued into May. Precipitation was widespread later in April. The drought-ridden
Southwest ‘received scant relief as rainfall of less than 1 inch did little to replenish moisture
supplies. The first good rains since lest year fell in Texas April 15 to 17, but they failed to
completely relieve the drought. By May 1, dry areas were again increasing in size. Beneficial
yains covered eastern Oklahoma in mid-April, with local flooding occurring in the. southeast.
The western portion of the State got insufficient rains and remains abnormally dry. Spring field~
work is delayed in drought areas of both Texas and Oklahoma as many farmers wait for rain before
planting. South Florida is also hard hit by dry weather with citrus, vegetable and sugarcane
ed,

growers irrigating heavily. sugarcane growth has been retarted.

From Kansas northward extremely dry weather prevailed during the first half of April, but
generous late month rains relieved the dry conditions.

Winter maintained its grip during April in the Rocky Mountains and western edge of the Great
Plains as snow fell there and in the Northeast. Snow still covered parts of fields in New York
on May 1. Unseasonably cool temperatures and damp weather in late April retarded fruit tree
pollination in all regions of the Nation.

A damaging rain and hailstorm struck the San Joaquin Valley of California April 17. A large
acreage of cotton had to be replanted. Strong vinds have caused lodging in Arizona and California
grain fields. Severe thunderstorms also wreaked considerable wind damage on the southern part of

South Caroline.

Plant: Behind Normal

Spring field work in New York and New Mngland is off to a slow start. On May 1 dry soils
were himering planting in Maryland and Virginia. In the Southeast, farmers made satisfactory
progress during a favorable mid-month period and by May 1 were about on schedule, Southern
farmers were beginning to plant soybeans as May arrived. The driest spring in 6 years hindered
seeding operations in Louisiana. Crop planting mde good headway in Texas following late April
showers; however, progress is still behind schedule.

Spring plowing was nearing completion at @ record early date in the Corn Belt. Soybean
Planting was underway and corn acreage was going in at a recom rate. Warmer weather and rain
4s needed to aid germination and growth.

Dry weather got small grain planting off to a fest start in the Northern Great Plains.
Tate April moisture slowed the pace, but most growers were still ahead of schedule.

Inclement veather disrupted farming activities in the Northwest. Planting was delayed in
most States with spring growth lagging.

In parts of the Southeast and Northern Great Plains soils were wet on May 1, interrupting
field work.

CROP PRODUCTION, May 1971 19 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA


The dark air-cured crop weighed about 16.5 million pounds, 15 percent below the 19.5 million
pounds of 1509. the 1970 crop was harvested from 9,250 acres -- 17 percent below the 1969 acre-
age.

Cigar filler production is estimated at 35.3 million pounds, compared with 40.3 million
pounds ~ Harvested acreage at 19,650 acres hit an all-time low and the average yield was
1,796 pounds per acre.

Binder tobacco is estimated at 21.4 million pounds, 38 percent above the record low 1969
output. The crop was harvested from 10,470 acres with an average yield of 2,041 pounds. This
compares with 9,000 acres harvested in 1969 and yield per acre of 1,714 pounds.

weepper output was 14.9 million pounds -- down 6 percent from the 15.9 million produced in
1969." 6 9,600 acres were harvested and yield per acre averaged 1,555 pounds. In 1969, there
were 11,250 acres harvested which yielded 1,411 pounds per acre.

MAPLE SIRUP: The 1971 production of maple sirup is estimated at 954,000 gallons in the nine
“~~~ States for which estimates are made. This is 1h percent below last year's output
and 8 percent below 1969.

Cold weather delayed the start of the 1971 maple season in most producing States. ‘The
length of season varied from 22 days in Wisconsin to 38 days in Pemsylvania. The average was
31 days. In New York, Michigan and New England, low temperatures delayed the season and snow
cover hampered operations. Cold weather and a lack of daily temperature fluctuation were re-
sponsible for lower yields in a number of States. In Wisconsin, warm days and nights early in
the season followed by colder weather cut yields sharply. Ohio's weather was favorable for sap
runs and very good yields were obtained.

ORANGES: ‘The U. S. 1970-71 orange crop is forecast, as of May 1, at a record high 194.2 million

boxes, 3.9 miliion boxes less than a month earlier, but 5 percent above last season
and 6 percent more than the 1968-69 crop. Over the past six seasons, the May 1 forecasts bave
differed from actual production an average of 1.4 million boxes, ranging from 0.3 to 3.7 million
‘boxes.

Prospective Florida orange production is 145.0 million boxes, 4.0 million boxes less than
@ month earlier, but 5 percent above last season. In the past six seasons, when comparable fore-
casting procedures were used, Florida's Mey 1 forecasts have differed from actual production an
average of 2.5 million boxes, ranging from 0.9 to 3.9 million boxes. Valencia harvest is in-
creasing rapidly end most Florida processors are in full operation. Continued dry weather during
April placed heavy stress on orange trees in all areas. Non~irrigated groves were showing leaf
curl and afternoon wilt. The supply of irrigation water is down.

California's orange production is placed at 40.0 million boxes, unchanged from last month.
This is 3 percent above last season but 10 percent less than the 1968-69 crop. Navel harvest
is nearing completion in both the central valley and southern areas. The remaining fruit is
very ripe. Valencia harvest is increasing with good fruit quality reported.

Production of Texas oranges is forecast at 5.9 million boxes, up 0,1 million from last month
and 40 percent more than last season, Picking Valencias was moderately active during April and
nearing completion by May 1. Peak bloom occurred in March but some trees continued flowering in-
to April. Light showers in early April only temporarily relieved the continued drought. Short-
age of irrigation water continues to concern growers.

Arizona's 1970-71 orange crop remains at 3.3 million boxes, 31 percent below last season's

output. Valencia harvest vas active during April with mich of the fruit going to processors.
Part was used for juice and some for livestock feed.

Winter wheat production, forecast at 1,021 million bushels, is 9 percent
(97 million bushels) below a year earlier and 11 percent (127 million
bushels) less than 1969. This is 2 percent (20 million bushels) below
the December 1 forecast.

Citrus production, down 1 percent from last month, is expected to total
7 percent more than last season. A decline from last month in
production of Valencia oranges more than offset an increase in
grapefruit.

Orange production for the 1970-71 season is forecast at 194.2 million boxes,
down 3.9 million boxes (2.0 percent) from a month earlier but 5 percent
(8.5 million boxes) above last year.

Grapefruit production is put at 60.3 million boxes, 1.5 million boxes
(2.6 percent) above April 1, and 12 percent (6.4 million boxes) above
last season.

Peach production in 9 southern States, is forecast at 565.4 million pounds,
8 percent (51 million pounds) below last year and 23 percent (165 million

The early summer crop is estimated at 77,900 acres for harvest in 1971, compared with 82,000
acres, harvested in 1970. The 28,500 acres for harvest on the Eastern Shore of Virginia are only
slightly less than the 28,600 acres harvested a year ago. Cool, dry weather during April slowed

crop growth.

The percentages by varieties for the Eastern Shore this year, with 1970 figures in
parenthesis, are: Pungo, 35 (50); Superior, 19 (17): Katahdin, 7 (13); La Chipper, 16 (13);
Norchip, 12 (13); Alamo, 9 (0); and minor varieties, 2 (4). The Delaware crop was planted at
about the usual time. In the Sand Mountain area of Alabama, planting was completed about 2 weeks
later than usual as cold, wet weather slowed field work.

The Texas crop, at 16,000 acres for harvest, is down 13 percent from the 18,300 acres
harvested in 1970, Red varieties, at 4,400 acres, are down 1,000 acres. White varieties for fresh
market, at 7,000 acres, are down 2,900 acres, but chipping varieties with 4,600 acres are up
1,600 acres from a year ago. Digging is expected to get underway about July 1. Cool April weather

slowed development of California's crop.

PASTURES: Pasture condition reported for May 1 was poor to fair. At T+ percent of normal,

May 1 condition wes the lowest reported for the date since iose. ‘The 68 percent,
reported on May 1, 1956 was the only figure lower than this year in more than 30 years. Down
12 percentage points from a year ago, condition was also down 9 points from the 1960-69 average
for May 1. Cool dry weather over most of the Nation retarded pasture growth during April,
Condition in all North Atlantic States except Maine was below both May 1 a year ago and the 10-
year average for the date. In the Fast North Central group, Wisconsin is the only State with
pasture condition above a year ago and average. West North Central States show less variation
between States than other groups.

Reported pasture condition in the South Atlantic States ranged from 60 percent in West
Virginia -- a record low, to 85 in North Carolina. Florida, where the southern third is
critically dry, reported 64 percent, a 6 point decline from April 1. Texas pasture condition
was a record low 40 percent on May 1, the lowest of the 48 States. Oklehoma condition at 55
percent has been poorer in only 2 years since 1916. In the Western States, reported condition
varied widely. New Mexico condition -- at 51 percent -- was lowest since 1967. Wyoming re-
Ported 92 percent, highest of the 48 states and highest for the State since 1958.

CROP PRODUCTION, May 1972 2 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA



California's grapefruit crop is placed at 4.8 million boxes, unchanged from April 1 and 9
percent lese than lest eeason. Harvest in the Desert Valleys is progressing slowly but should
pick up during May. Most of the severely frost damaged fruit has moved directly to processors.
The rest of the crop is expected to make some grade of fresh fruit. Harvest of the,"other areas"
crop is well underway in central aress and significant shipments are now coming from southern
coastal areas. Sizes are good and quality and flavor are reported to be excellent.

LEMONS: Production in California and Arizona is forecast at 16.8 million boxes, the same as a

month ago and 8 percent above last season's output. Harvest is complete in Arizona. In
California, several rains during April improved growing conditions; however, precipitation totals
continue below normal at most southern coastal stations. Harvest has been below normal but should
increase moderately during May and continue in good volume through June.

PEACHES: Production in the 9 southern States is forecast at 565.4 million pounds, 8 percent below

last year and 23 percent less than 1969. Spring freezes reduced the 1971 crop potential
in all States except Arkansas and Louisiana, where growers expect a bigger harvest than last
season.

In South Carolina, cold damage in March was apparent by the end of April. Thinning began
about mid-month in the Ridge area was underway in all areas by the end of April. Bloom ex-
tended over a longer period than usual. In North Carolina the crop is generally 5 to 10 days be-
hind schedule. Freeze damage has been light.

Georgia's peach crop is generally 10 days to 2 weeks later than normal. Cold March weather
erely damaged many orchards. Hail and wind the last week of April caused additional harm.
Very little harvest is expected before June 1, In Alabama, picking of the earliest maturing
varieties should begin about mid-May.

In Mississippi, there was no freeze damage, ¥rost damage was light in Arkansas and a larger
crop than last year is forecast. In Loufeiana, picking of earliest varieties should start about
May 25. March freezes and dry weather have hurt Oklahoma peach prospects. Freezing temperatures
‘in early April in the northern portion of Texas cut peach prospects in that ares and the prolonged
drought has reduced prospects over the entire State.

ALMONDS: The first forecast for the 1971 California crop is 140,000 tons in-shell, 9 percent

more than last year and 15 percent above 1969. Almonds were in full bloom the last
week of February and the first week of March, about normal for this crop. Pollination conditions
were not ideal ~- temperatures were too cool for maximum bee activity. However, a good set was
put on in the major producing areas, particularly the lower San Joaquin Valley, Frost hit all
areas during bloom and moderate damage is apparent in the early varieties, but only light co
minor damage is evident in the mid and late blooming varieties.

POTATOES: Early spring output is estimated at 4,196,000 cwt. compared with 4,757,000 cwt. last
year. Prospects for the Hastings, Florida, crop declined during the dry weather of
April with production now put at 3,480,000 cwt., compared with 3,712,000 cwt. on April 1.
Harvesting got underway in late April with full volume expected about May 10, Digging was active
an the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas by late April and supplies should be available through
Ye

The late spring crop is forecast at 21,087,000 cwt., slightly less than the 21,104,000 cwt.
harvested in 1970.

Production for California is estimated at 14,763,000 cwt., compared with 14,516,000 cwt. in
1970. Cold spring weather slowed crop development and movement hasbeen light since digging got
underway in mid-April. Harvest is expected to become active after May 10. Harvesting of Arizona's
Rennebecs on contract should start about mid-May with digging of other varieties in early June.
A few growers in the Baldwin, Alabama area plan to start digging about May 12 and volume supplies
should be available by May 20. Lack of moisture and cool April weather slowed development of the

¢rop. In Texas, digging will continue in the Pearsall area during May and may scart about mid-
May at San Antonio.

CROP PRODUCTION, May 1971 n Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA


Mid~April rains were beneficial to most of the Oklahoma wheat crop but were generally in-
sufficient or too late to be of much help in the western third of the State. The crop was in
mostly poor condition in the western third and abandonment was heavy. Condition ranged from poor
to good elsewhere. Slightly over half the crop was headed at the end of April and maturing
rapidly because of dry weather. April precipitetion was only three-fifths average. Much dry-
land wheat in Texas was abandoned for grain production and that portion remaining on May 1 was
continuing to suffer from too little moisture. Irrigated wheat in the Northern High Plains was
improving as warmer temperatures fostered growth. In Nebraska, precipitation in late April
greatly improved wheat prospects. Growth was good with some jointing in southern counties. The
Colorado crop was in good to excellent condition. About 45 percent of the acreage was jointing.

Prospective output in Montana and the Pacific Northwest was above the December 1, 1970
prospects. ‘The Montana crop incurred little winterkill and was in good condition but April
moisture was below normal in major growing areas. Wheat wintered well in the Pacific Northwest
‘but cool weather in April slowed growth. Soil moisture supplies were generally adequate.

In Missouri and the Eastern Corn Belt, growth and development was slowed by insufficient
8011 moisture and in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan by cool weather as well. Heading of the
Missouri crop wes beginning in southern counties around May 1.

Prospective production in the South Atlantic and South Central States east of the Missis-
sippi River was above 1970 in all States except Maryland and West Virginia. Increased acreage
for harvest was the reason for the larger prospects; yields were expected to be slightly below
® year earlier in most States in the area. Growth was slowed by generally cool, dry weather in
April.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: May 1 stocks totaled 22.3 million tons, 8 percent leas than e year earlier.

Stocks were below a year ago throughout most of the Nation. However, Missouri and North
Dakota in the North Central region and most States in the South Central region had stocks above
the previous year. Other States showing increases were Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, California,
New Hampshire, Rhode Island, New York and Connecticut.

Disappearance of hay from farms during the 1970-71 feeding season, at 129.9 million tons,
compares with 127.2 million tons for the same period a year earlier.

TOBACCO, 1969 AND 1970 CROPS REVISED: Estimated production of all types of tobacco in 1970
totaled 1,906 million iS -- © percent more than in
1969. ‘The crop was harvested from 898,330 acres -- 2 percent below the 919,860 acres harvested
in 1969. The average yield per acre was 2,122 pounds in 1970, compared with 1,961 pounds in 1969.

The 1970 crop is valued at $1,389 million based on a record high average price of 72.8 cents
per pound. This is the sixth year of record prices. Marketings from the 1969 crop were worth
$288 million, averaging 71.8 cents per pound.

Eiue-cured production in 1970 was 1,193 million pounds. This includes about 15.5 million
ig carryover for sale next season, but excludes 1.4 million pounds of 1969 leaf sold during
the 1970 marketing season. Harvested acreage totaled 584,070 -- up 1 percent from the 576,830
geren of 1969. Yields per acre for types 11-14 averaged 2,012 pounds, compared with 1,825 pounds
in 1969.

The 1970 burley output was 560.5 million pounds, down 5 percent from the 591.4 million
pounds harvested In 1969. ‘There were 216,400 acres cut, producing a record average yield of
2,590 pounds. In 1969, yield per acre averaged 2,488 pounds.

7 Soe Maryland production in 1970 is placed at 27.6 million pounds with an average yield
is per acre on 26,000 acres. ‘This compares with 28.0 million pounds harvested
fron ”28,000 acres in 1969.

Pire-cured growers produced 37.2 million pounds on 22,680 acres during 1970, realizi:
average of 1,055 pounds per acre. About 40.8 mil2ion pounds were produced in 1969 on 23,
acres.
