The Virginia-North Carolina crop totaled 731 million pounds, 41 percent
above 1983. Area planted and harvested were both up 4 percent from the
previous year. Yield was estimated at 2900 pounds per acre compared with 2136
pounds per acre in 1983. North Carolina farmers harvested 450 million pounds
of peanuts, 41 percent more than the previous year. Virginia production
totaled 281 million pounds, 42 percent above 1983.

The Southwest peanut crop (New Mexico, Oklahoma, Texas) is estimated at
589 million pounds, 4 percent above last year. Increased acreage and yields
Pushed production up. Growers planted 345 thousand acres compared with 334
thousand acres in 1983, Area harvested totaled 319 thousand acres, 1 percent
above the previous year. Yield at 1847 pounds per acre was 66 pounds above
1983, Production was up 27, 8 and 1 percent, respectively, from 1983 in New
Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas.

SUNFLOWER: Sunflower production in 1984 for the four States in the estimating
Program totaled 3.74 billion pounds (1.70 million metric tons), up
17 percent from 1983. Area harvested, at 3.69 million acres (1.49 million
hectares), is up 21 percent from the previous year. The average yield, at
1014 pounds per acre, is down 30 pounds from 1983, Production of oil type
sunflower totaled 3.50 billion pounds (1.59 million metric tons), up 16
percent from 1983. In 1984, 3.46 million acres (1.40 million hectares) were
‘harvested, with an average yield of 1011 pounds per acre. Oi] type sunflower
accounted for 93 percent of total production compared with 95 percent in
1983. Non-oi1 type production totaled 245 million pounds (111 thousand metric
tons), up 44 percent from 1983. In 1984, 232 thousand acres (93.9 thousand
hectares} were harvested, with an average yield of 1057 pounds per acre,

In North Dakota, there was a week of rain in June followed by extended dry
weather. Harvest began in late September and was behind last year and average
early in the season, but moved ahead of the average in the late stages.

COTTON: All] cotton production for 1984 totaled 13.3 million bales, 71 percent

above 1983 production and up 11 percent from the 1982 crop. Upland
production is set at 13.2 million bales and American-pima at 119 thousand
bales.

Planted area totaled 11.1 million acres (4.51 million hectares), 41
percent above 1983 but down 2 percent from 1982 plantings. Harvested area, at
10.5 million acres (4,23 million hectares), was up 42 percent from 1983 and 7
percent above 1982. Abandonment is 6.1 percent of planted acres compared with
7.3 percent in 1983 and the five year average (1980-84) of 7.9 percent. Lint
yield per harvested acre is a record high 610 pounds compared with 508 pounds
in 1983 and the previous record high of 590 pounds set in 1982.

Southeastern States production is estimated at 1.02 million bales, over
two and one half times more than 1983 production. The increase in production
from 1983 was the result of larger acreage and above average yields. Georgia
established a new record high yield.

Production in the Delta States is set at 3.83 million bales, up 94 percent
from 1983. Unfavorable harvest weather began in late September and continued
throughout the harvest season sharply reducing yields of a potentially record
setting crop. Despite yield losses outturn was above average.

Texas and Oklahoma upland production at 4.20 million bales is up 66
percent from last year. Excellent yields were harvested from the south Texas
acreage, however, later than normal freeze dates delayed volume harvest in the
High Plains and in Oklahoma. Frequent rains interrupted harvesting operations
and reduced yield and quality. About 25 percent of the Texas crop remained in
the field on January 1,

Upland production in the Western States is estimated at 4.10 million
bales, up 48 percent from 1983. Most of the increase in production was the
result of increased acreage as yields were about the same as last year.

Bureau of the Census reports 11,082,246 running bales ginned prior to
January 1, 1985 compared with 7,209,916 bales ginned to the same date in 1984
and 10,574,010 bales for the 1982 crop.

COTTONSEED: Production based on a three-year average lint seed ratio is esti-
mated at 5.30 million tons (4.81 million metric tons) compared
with 3.08 million tons (2.79 million metric tons) last year.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1925 8-22 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


1984 WEATHER REVIEW

A variety of abnormal and changing weather patterns prevailed in 1984. The
year began with temperatures slowly rising to seasonal levels over Florida and
Texas citrus areas, which were severely frozen during the Christmas holidays.
Oryness continued over the southern Plains during the winter, and by spring,
intensified to such an extent as to delay crop planting and emergence. The dry
trend expanded into the central Plains and southern Corn Belt during the
summer, favoring wheat harvest but stressing some corn and soybeans, By fall,
the dryness shifted into the Southeast and eastern seaboard. Unusual wet
weather delayed early spring planting in the Corn Belt and fall planting in the
Delta and southern Corn Belt.

WINTER (OEC 1983-FE8 1984): Frigid arctic air blanketed much of the Nation

east of the Rockies during most of December. A
recordbreaking, bitter cold outbreak during the Christmas holidays severely
froze citrus and vegetables in Texas and parts of Florida and northeastern
Mexico. Oecember temperatures were more than 15 degrees below normal over the
northern and central sections of the Rockies and Great Plains, and down to a
bone-chilling 24 degrees below normal in north-central Montana. However, the
pattern shifted over the northern Plains in January, as temperatures became
warmer than usual and continued into February. Most of the Rockies and parts
of the northern Great Basin were extremely cold with heavy snow throughout the
winter, causing unusual starvation and freezing of wildlife and stressing
livestock. In contrast, sunny, dry weather generally dominated the Southwest.
Southern California and much of west Texas received less than half the usual
vainfall, causing soil moisture shortages in some High Plains wheatlands,
especially around Lubbock, Texas. The Southeast was frequently too wet,
delaying outdoor activities.

SPRING (MAR-MAY): It was a cool, wet spring across the Corn Belt and much of
the East. Land preparation and planting was delayed in many
areas, but open weather at the end of the season allowed planting to catch up
to normal. Above-normal precipitation also fell in the Northwest and the
central Rockies. Parts of eastern Nebraska had over twice the normal precipi-
tation. [It was much drier than normal from southeastern Texas to southeastern
Colorado, in the Southwest, California, the upper Mississippi Valley, the
Great Lakes, and throughout Montana. Very dry conditions prevailed throughout
Texas for most of the period, but were partially relieved in the eastern part
and the Rio Grande Valley at the end of the season. Temperatures were cooler
than normal in most of the East, but warmer than normal in southern Texas, the
extreme northern Plains, and most of the West. In March, freezing temperatures
caught some early blooming peaches in the Southeast but the damage was minimal.

SUMMER (JUN-AUG): Abnormal dryness prevailed over much of the central part of

the Nation, stressing crops and forcing water conservation.
Less than half the normal rainfall was measured in parts of the central
Plains, south Texas, north central Montana, the Corn Belt, and central
California. Wetness in the western Corn Belt changed to dryness as the season
progressed, and some crops suffered. In contrast, it was unusually moist over
the southeastern Piedmont and parts of the Southwest and Great Basin, where
abundant tropical moisture flowed northward out of western Mexico. Yuma,
Arizona saw more than 5 times its normal amount of rain as showers were
unusually frequent in July and August.

FALL _{SEP-NOV): Ory weather plagued the Southeast as less than half the normal

amount of rain fell. More than double the usual amount de-
luged parts of the Delta and from Arkansas to southern [llinois. The entire
east coast was drier than normal and drought continued in eastern Montana.
Ory weather bothered parts of the central Plains but the Mississippi, Ohio,
and Tennessee Valleys had well-above normal rain. Above-normal precipitation
covered the west coast and the Great Basin. Average temperatures for the
season were a little warmer than normal east of the Mississippi River, and 3-5
degrees colder than normal through the Rockies and the northern Plateau.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 8-28 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Minnesota, with 4.35 million tons, was the second ranking State in
production and, with 261 thousand acres, holds top ranking in area harvested.
Production was down 7 percent from a year ago but acreage harvested was up 1
percent. .

Idaho ranked third in both total production and harvested acreage. The
3.31 million tons produced was off 5 percent from 1983 but harvested acreage
was up 1 percent,

North Dakota with 2.31 million tons, Michigan with 2.12 million tons and
Nebraska with 1.48 million tons ranked 4th, Sth and 6th, respectively.

MINT OIL: Peppermint production oil in 1984 fs estimated at 4.33 million

pounds 970 metric tons), 12 percent above 1983 and 18 percent
above 1982. Most of the increase from 1983 can be attributed to the increase
in acres harvested in three of the five producing States. Area harvested, at
67.2 thousand acres (27.2 thousand hectares), is 10 percent greater than in
both 1983 and 1982. Yields average 64 pounds per acre compared with 63 pounds
the previous year and 60 pounds per acre in 1982. Oregon accounted for 53
percent of the total U.S. production.

Spearmint oi] output totaled 2.02 million pounds (920 metric tons), 27
percent above 1983. Production is 49 percent above 1982. Better yields in
five of the six producing States accounted for most of the increased
production from 1983. A total of 27.9 thousand acres (11.3 thousand hectares)
was harvested, 6 percent above the previous year. Yield averaged 72 pounds
per acre compared with 61 pounds per acre in 1983 and 59 pounds per acre in
1982. Washington, with 62 percent--5 percentage points above’ last
year--increased it's share of the U.S. total production.

COFFEE: The 1984-85 Hawaiian coffee crop is estimated at 1.80 million pounds

(820 metric tons) parchment basis, compared with 2.80 million pounds
(1270 metric tons) last season. Production is 36 percent less than the
previous season due primarily to weather factors, including a prolonged dry
spell and volcanic fallout early in the year which affected the first, and
perhaps second, flower sets. Bearing acreage, at 1700, acres is down 6
percent from 1983-84 season.

TARO: Hawaiian taro production totaled 6.47 million pounds (2930 metric tons)

for 1984, This is 19 percent more than 1983 and virtually the same as
the 1982 crop. Yield improved to 17.5 thousand pounds per acre, due to
generally good to excellent growing conditions.

HOPS: Production of hops in 1984 totaled 56.2 million pounds (25.5 thousand

metric tons), 18 percent less than 1983 and 29 percent less than 1982.
A 17 percent decrease in area harvested to 30.8 thousand acres (12.5 thousand
hectares) was coupled with a 1 percent decrease in yield. Yield per acre
averaged 1824 pounds compared with 1846 pounds in 1983.

HAY: All hay production in 1984 is estimated at a record high 151 million

~~ tons (137 million metric tons), a 7 percent increase from the previous
year and up 1 percent from the previous record high set in 1982. Producers
cut 61.6 million acres (24.9 million hectares) in 1984, compared with 59.7
million acres (24.2 million hectares) in 1983, The U.S. average yield of 2.45
tons per acre is .09 of a ton more than the 1983 yield of 2.36 tons but less
than the 2.50 tons per acre in 1982.

A cool, wet spring over much of the northern portion of the Nation resulted
in a variable growing season for hay crops and delayed the start of harvest
in many areas. Quality was generally reported good, except in some areas
where cutting was hampered by cool, damp weather. Lack of rain after first
cuttings slowed growth, and as a result, yields of later cuttings were very
Tight.

ALFALFA AND ALFALFA MIXTURE: Alfalfa hay production in 1984 totaled 90.0
million tons (81.7 miltion metric tons) compared
with 82.2 million tons (74.6 million metric tons) in 1983. Average yield per
acre at 3,36 tons compares with 3.20 tons in 1983 and is only .02 of a ton
below the record high yield set in 1982. Area harvested, at 26.8 million
acres (10.8 million hectares), is up 4 percent from last year and 2 percent
above 1982.

ALL OTHER HAY: Production is estimated at 60.8 million tons (55.1 million

metric tons) in 1984, up 4 percent from 1983 but down
fractionally from the record high 60.9 million tons (55.2 million metric tons)
harvested in 1982. Area harvested, at 34.8 million acres (14.1 million
hectares), is up 2 percent from the previous year and 3 percent above 1982.
Yields averaged 1.75 tons per acre, compared with 1.72 tons in 1983 and 1.81
tons in 1982.

ORY EDIBLE BEANS: U.S. production totaled 20.8 million cwt (941 thousand
metric tons) in 1984, 34 percent above 1983 but 19 percent
below 1982. Production is up from 1983 mostly because of increased area
planted and harvested in all States. Area planted, at 1.50 million acres (606
thousand hectares), rose 27 percent from 1983 but was 22 percent below 1982.
Farmers harvested 1.46 million acres (589 thousand hectares), 28 percent more
than the previous year. Harvested acreage was down 18 percent from 1982.
Yield averaged 1425 pounds per acre compared with 1363 pounds per acre the
previous year and 1439 pounds per acre in 1982.

Production was up from 1983 for all classes except Cranberry and Garbanzo
beans. Percentage increases for major classes were: Navy--8, Great
Northern-~24, Pinto--64, Red Kidney--39, and Pink~~32,

Ory bean production in Michigan totaled 4.17 million cwt, 8 percent below
1983. Average yield, at 1070 pounds per acre in Michigan, dropped 230 pounds
from 1983, This is the main reason for the decline in production. Growers
planted 400 thousand acres in 1984 compared with 360 thousand acres the
Previous year, Area harvested totaled 390 thousand acres, 11 percent larger
than in 1983, The Michigan dry bean crop can best be described as having too
much rain early in the growing season and not enough rain from late July to
the end of September.

California's production is estimated at 3.10 million cwt, 28 percent above
the previous year. Area planted totaled 191 thousand acres, of which 134
thousand acres were harvested. Yields averaged 3 pounds less than in 1983 due
largely to hot, dry weather during most of the growing season.

Nebraska's dry edible bean production is up 48 percent from the previous
year. Yteld averaged 1900 pounds per acre, 230 pounds above 1983.

North Dakota's output totaled 2.52 million cwt, 53 percent above 1983.
Acres planted and harvested are up from 1983, ral and 25 percent,
respectively. Yield averaged 1260 pounds per acre, 230 pounds above the
previous year. .

POTATOES: U.S. farmers produced 362 million cwt (16.4 million metric tons) of

potatoes in 1984, a gain of 8 percent from 1983 and 2 percent above
1982. This is the second largest potato production of record. Area harvested
totaled 1.30 million acres (526 thousand hectares), up 5 percent from 1983 and
3 percent above 1982, The average yield of 278 cwt per acre is up 9 cwt (3
percent) fram the previous year, but 2 cwt (1 percent) below the record high
yield set in 1982.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 8-3 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Fire-cured output is expected to total 53.6 million pounds (24.3 thousand
metrictons}. Last year's production totaled 37.1 million pounds (16.9
thousand metric tons). Increased production was the result of larger acreage
harvested and better yields. Farmers harvested 28.4 thousand acres (11.5
thousand hectares), with an average yield of 1889 pounds per acre.

Burley production is placed at 732 million pounds (332 thousand metric
tons), 52 percent above 1983's production. This is the third largest burley
crop of record. Harvested acreage was up 9 percent and yield registered a 656
pound increase over 1983. Increases in production are shown in all producing
States, except Missouri and Virginia. Production was up 68 percent in
Kentucky and 32 percent in Tennessee.

Southern Maryland Type 32 production is estimated at 38.9 million pounds
(17.7 thousand metric tons), 4 percent above the 1983 crop. All of the
increase in production can be attributed to better yields in Maryland. Area
harvested is down 10 percent to 28.3 thousand acres (11.5 thousand hectares).

Yield is expected to average 1376 pounds per acre.

Production of dark air-cured tobacco at 18.1 million pounds (8230 metric
tons) was 24 percent above the previous year. Area harvested totaled 9.35
thousand acres (3780 hectares), 2 percent above 1983. Yields averaged 1941
pounds per acre compared with 1597 pounds per acre the previous year.

All cigar type output is placed at 36.0 million pounds (16.3 thousand
metric tons), 3 percent below 1983, Cigar filler and wrapper production were
up 3 and 6 percent, respectively. Binder production was down 8 percent,

SUGA Production of raw sugar from the 1984 sugarcane and sugarbeet crops is

estimated at 5.95 million tons (5.39 million metric tons), up 6
percent from the 1983 total of 5.63 million tons (5.11 million metric tons).
The higher sugar production in 1984 reflects higher sugarbeet production and a
higher sucrose content of the beets.

Production of beet sugar is expected to total 2.96 million tons (2.69
million metric tons) raw value, up 10 percent from the quantity produced from
the previous crop. Raw cane sugar from the mainland crop is estimated at 1.92
million tons (1.74 million metric tons), up 2 percent from the 1983 crop.
Hawaii's raw cane sugar production, at 1.06 million tons (962 thousand metric
tons), is also 2 percent higher.

SUGARCANE: Production of sugarcane for sugar in 1984 totaled 26.7 million
tons (24.2 million metric tons), 2 percent less than in 1983 and 6

percent smaller than the record crop of 1982. A 4 percent reduction in
acreage harvested from 1983 was partially offset by a 1.0 ton per acre higher
average yield. .

In Florida, harvest progressed rapidly with favorable weather. With
higher yields and increased acreage production of cane for sugar reached a
record high of 12.2 million tons, up 7 percent from 1983.

Hawaii production for sugar reached 8.99 million tons, up 1 percent from
1983. Dry weather throughout most of 1984 enhanced sugar yields but forced
some plantations to delay plantings and harvest early to prevent losses. This
is expected to reduce yields in 1985 and 1986,

In Louisiana, harvest was 94 percent complete on December 16 compared with
93 percent in 1983 and the 92 percent average. The 4.51 million tons
harvested for sugar was off 23 percent from last year and was the smallest
crop since 195). With freeze damage last winter a contributing factor,
acreage was down 16 percent and average yield was 1.9 tons per acre below 1933.

SUGARBEETS: Production of sugarbeets in 1984 is estimated at 22.2 million

tons (20.1 million metric tons), 6 percent more than produced a
year earlier, The increase was the combined result of more acreage and higher
yields. Yields are estimated to average 20.3 tons per acre compared with 19.9
tons a year ago. Area harvested totaled 1.10 million acres (444 thousand
hectares), up 4 percent from 1983. Production was up in 7 of the 13 producing
States.

California, with 5.14 million tons, was up 30 percent from a year aqo and
was the leading State in production. The 1984 growing season was very
favorable with the exception of some stress caused by a mid-summer heat wave.
Overwintered beets in northern California are reported doing well.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 B-12 CROP REPORTING BOAPC, SRS, USDA


Delays were experienced early in ptanting the 1984 crop, primarily due to
dry conditions in some parts of the Plains and late row-crop harvest in the
Southeast. Seeding progressed rapidly after the delay, Extensive winter-kill
occurred in Nebraska; otherwise, the crop came through the winter generally in
fair condition.

Unusually cool weather slowed crap development during May, though stands
in portions of Texas were maturing rapidly because of persistent hot, dry
conditions. By June 3, 68 percent of the acreage was headed in the 15 major
producing States compared with the S-year average of 78 percent.

Harvest started in Texas prior to May 1. By early June, progress trailed
the S-year average across most of the South. Favorable conditions through
dune and July allowed harvest to advance rapidly. Kansas finished ahead of
average despite early delays. Combining was virtually complete in the Pacific
Northwest by mid-September.

DURUM WHEAT: The 1984 crop is estimated at 103 million bushels (2.82 million

metric tons), up 42 percent from 1983. Yields averaged 32.1
bushels per acre this year, 2.8 bushels per acre higher than a year ago. Area
harvested, at 3.22 million acres (1.30 million hectares), is 29 percent more
than the 1983 harvested area. Area seeded was 3.28 million acres (1.33
million hectares).

North Dakota's durum wheat was completely seeded by June 3, a week ahead
of average. The crop rated fair to good throughout the growing season.
Harvest was complete by September 2, nearly two weeks earlier than average.
Yields were generally better than expected, despite drought in northwestern
counties. Hot, dry winds during July and August reduced Montana yields to the
lowest since 1961.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: The 1984 production totaled 431 million bushels (11.7

million metric tons), 20 percent more than the 1983
crop. Farmers averaged a record high yield of 35.4 bushels per acre this
year, 1.6 bushels per acre above the previous record high set in 1982, and 3.7
bushels per acre more than a year ago, Harvested area tallied 12.2 million
acres (4.94 million hectares), 8 percent more than in 1983. A total of 12.5
million acres (5.07 million hectares) was seeded for the 1984 crop.

Spring wheat was 30 percent seeded by May 1, 5 points behind average.
Only Minnesota and Montana were not behind schedule. By early June, seeding
and crop development were generally ahead of average progress in the Dakotas,
Minnesota and Montana. Stands rated fair to good despite short soil moisture
supplies in some areas, especially in Montana. Hot, dry weather promoted
rabid harvest in most areas; completion had advanced to 95 percent in the
major producing States by September 2, well ahead of the 72 percent average.
South Dakota's harvest was finished by that date.

RYE: Production is estimated at 32.4 million bushels (823 thousand metric

tons) in 1984, up 19 percent from last year's 27.1 million bushels (689
thousand metric tons). Growers harvested 981 thousand acres (397 thousand
hectares) this year, 9 percent more than in 1983. Nationally, yields averaged
a record high 33.0 bushels per acre, up 2.7 bushels per acre from 1983.

Spring and early summer conditions were generally favorable for growth and
development of the crop, with development slowed in Indiana and Marytand in
the spring, but bouncing back in early summer. Harvest progressed favorably
and was completed by the normal time.

RICE: Rice production for 1984 is estimated at 137 million hundredweignt

(6.22 million metric tons), up 37 percent from last year but 11 percent
below the 1982 production of 154 million hundredweight (6.97 million metric
tons). Growers combined 2.78 million acres (1.13 million hectares), 23
percent more than the 2.17 million acres (878 thousand hectares) harvested
last year. Yield averaged 4926 pounds per acre, compared with 4598 pounds for
1933,

Long grain production was 97.4 million hundredweight (4.42 million metric
tons), 51 percent more than in 1983. Medium grain production was 32.5 million
hundredweight (1.47 million metric tons)--up 19 percent, short grain
production, at 7.18 million hundredweight (325 thousand metric tons), was 10
percent below the 1983 crop.

1984 CRO SEASON

WINTER WHEAT:

Seeding of the 1984 crop began in early September and reached midpoint
during the first week of October. Conditions favored germination in all
areas, except in parts of the central and southern Plains, where growers
delayed seeding in hopes of improved soil moisture. Planting was completed
across the northern Plains during the Jast half of October, and neared
completion by the month's end in all other States, except California,
Missouri, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Texas. 8y early November, soil moisture was
adequate, except in eastern Colorado and western Kansas. By the end of
November, only minor winter wheat acreages remained to be seeded across the
South. Late-November snow protected wheat from cold temperatures across the
central and northern Plains into the Lake States.

Unusually cold weather pushed into the Nation's midsection in mid-December,
threatening wheat with possible winterkill. However, most areas had sufficient
snow cover to protect the crop. Late December arctic afr dominated the Nation,
except in the Southwest. The snow Cover protected winter wheat, except in the
southern Plains and portions of the Pacific Northwest, where some winterkil]
of late-planted stands occurred. Overwintering conditions were generally aood
from Kansas northward, but precipitation was needed from western Kansas
southward, The crop rated fair to mostly good in December, Moderate snow
cover protected wheat from bitter-cold temperatures which pushed into Texas in
mid-January. Late-month warm weather reduced snow cover across the Great
Plains, leaving some areas vulnerable to possible winterkill. The
precipitation maintained sufficient soil moisture in all areas, except in
portions of Texas. Unseasonably mild temperatures left wheat fields across
the Great Plains with limited or no protective snow cover for much of
February. Several storms halted the topdressing of stands during the month,
but grovided beneficial moisture from the central Plains through the Corn
Belt. Persistent dry conditions limited early spring growth in West Texas and
on the Texas Plains. 8y the end of February, wheatlands were areening as far
north as Kansas and southern Indiana. Ouring March, above-normal winterkill
became evident in some areas of the central Plains and the Corn Belt as stands
began growing. By the end of March, wheat was greening as far north as
Montana, jointing across the south, and heading on early~seeded fields in the
Southwest. The crop rated fair to good. However, dry conditions left stands
thin and in poor condition in western portions of the central and southern
Plains and in the dryland fields of the Southwest.

Rain saturated soils from the central Plains to the east coast during
April and May, but abnormally-cool temperatures retarded wheat growth. Hiqh
winds in late April further depleted soil moisture from California through the
southern Plains; while May's persistent hot, dry weather caused rapid maturity
of stands in portions of Texas and the Southwest. Development laaqaed normal
by more than 1 week across the Great Plains in early June, but above-normal
temperatures aided maturity. Persistent, heavy rains through much of the
month lodged some wheat in the western Corn Belt and flooded low-lying areas.
Combining was underway in the Corn Belt and moved as far north as Kansas on
the Great Plains. Thirty percent of the crop was harvested by July 1, equal
to the average. Hot, dry conditions persisted through much of July and Auqust
across most of the Great Plains and Corn Belt. Rapid crop maturity allowed
harvesting to advance to 81 percent completion by the end of July, just
slightly behind the average. The harvest was completed in early August;
except in the Northwest, combining was finished by the beginning of September.

OTHER CROPS:

Unusually warm weather in early January melted the snow cover over much of
the Great Plains, leaving winter grains exposed to possible winterkill.
However, moderate snow cover protected stands from the hitter-cold
temperatures that moved as far south as Texas at midmonth. Cool temperatures
allowed the salvage of some Florida citrus, damaged by the late-December
freeze. Wet weather slowed southeastern fieldwork for much of the month.
Soil moisture was replenished from the ample precipitation in southern and
southeastern Texas, the western central Plains, and from Georaia to
south-central Virginia.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 An6 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA



Rice seedings were 93 percent complete by June 1, slightly ahead of
schedule. Seeding was complete in Mississippi and Texas, and ahead of normal
in all other States, except Arkansas, which was slightly behind average.
Excess weeds and grass caused problems in some southern areas but the crop
rated good as July ended. Favorable California weather allowed rapid growth
and some early planted fields headed as early as mid-July. Harvesting in
Texas and Louisiana started off slower than normal but rapidly gained momentum.
By early September combining was just getting underway in Arkansas and
California, but neared comptetion in Texas. Continued good weather aided
California yield prospects and heads showed Tittle blanking. Wet September
weather slowed the Arkansas harvest, but hot temperatures in California caused
rapid crop maturity. By November 4, harvesting was finished in Louisiana and
Texas, and nearing completion jin California and Mississippi. Persistent,
heavy October rains in Arkansas delayed combining. Only 87 percent was
harvested in that State, 11 points behind schedule.

SOYBEANS: Production for 1984 is estimated at 1.86 billion bushels (50.6
"million metric tons), 14 percent more than the 1983 crop. Area
planted, at 67.7 million acres (27.4 million hectares), and area harvested, at
66.1 million acres (26.7 miltion hectares), are both up 6 percent, from last
year. Average yield, at 28,2 bushels per acre, is up 2.0 bushels from 1983.

Soybean plantings lagged behind normal early in the planting season
because of cool, wet weather. Conditions improved by early June, allowing
plantings to progress at a near normal pace. In July ample soil moisture was
available in most areas, with soybeans showing good growth. Hot weather and
moisture shortages stressed the crad in a few areas during August. Cool
temperatures and limited moisture stressed the crop in the Southeast during
September. Frost and freezing temperatures also caused damage in a few areas,
especially in the late maturing fields. Harvest activities were slower than
normal because of poor weather conditions.

Yields increased from 1983 in all States except Oelaware, Florida, Georgia,
Towa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin,
Virginia's yield, up 13.5 bushels from last year, showed the largest
increase. Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee also rebounded from their
poor yields in 1983 increasing 12,11, and 10 bushels, respectively.
Minnesota's yield was unchanged from 1983.

FLAXSEED: Flaxseed production for 1984 totaled 7.02 million bushels (178

thousand metric tons), up 2 percent from 1983 but down 32 percent
from 1982. Planted area, at 555 thousand acres (225 thousand hectares), is
down 8 percent from last year. Area harvested is 538 thousand acres (213
thousand hectares), down 7 percent from last year. Yield averaged 13.1
bushels per acre, 1.2 bushels more than in 1983.

Warm weather and lack of rainfall pushed the development of the crop in
North Dakota but the shortage of soil moisture lowered expected yields
slightly. South Dakota, with ample moisture in July and August, had an
excellent year for growing flax. Harvest began about normal for South Dakota,
while jumping ahead of normal in North Dakota. By the end of October, harvest
was virtually complete in al} areas.

PEANUTS: U.S. peanut production in 1984 totaled a record high 4.43 billion

pounds (2.01 million metric tons), 34 percent above 1983 and 29
percent above 1982. The previous record production of 3.98 billion pounds
(1,18 million metric tons}, was set in 1981. More acreage harvested and
better yields in 1984 caused production to increase. Growers planted 1.56
million acres (631 thousand hectares), 11 percent above the previous year and
19 percent above 1982. Area harvested, at 1.52 million acres (614 thousand
hectares), increased 10 and 19 percent from 1983 and 1982, respectively.
Yields averaged a record high 2918 pounds per acre, 519 pounds above 1983 and
225 pounds above the previous record yield set in 1982.

The Southeast (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina) produced 3.11
billion pounds in 1984, 40 percent above a year aqo. Area planted and
harvested were both up 16 percent from 1983. Yields averaged 3283 pounds per
acre compared with 2719 pounds per acre in 1983, Production was up 43, 54 and
38 percent, respectively, from 1983 in Alabama, Florida and Georgia.
Production in each of these States were record highs. Alabama and Georgia
also set record high yields during 1984.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 B-24 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Persistent heavy June rains lodged small grains and eroded fields in the
western Corn Belt. Rains benefited Texas High Plains cotton throughout the
month, Abnormally hot, dry midmonth weather delayed Soybean planting and
stressed corn in the South. However, Jate-month showers relieved most of the
corn stress and allowed increased soybean planting. Hot, dry conditions
increased irrigation requirements ja California, and caused further
deterioration of dryland crops and ranges in the Southwest. Showers slowed
corn planting but producers were able to get into the fields, and by midmonth
planting was virtually complete. Many fields in the South were in the dough
stage; early-planted fields reached the dent stage by late June. Soybean
seeding was virtually complete by the end of June in the eastern Corn Belt.
However, progress was slowed by wet conditions in the western Corn Belt and
earlier dry conditions in the Southeast. Double-cropped soybean planting
increased as small grain combining finished across the South. Farmers
completed cotton planting by midmonth in all States, except Georgia, Oklahoma,
and Texas. Later in the month, showers relieved dry conditions across the
southern Plains, allowing for rapid planting. June rains slowed sorghum
planting in the western Corn Belt, but progress was slightly ahead of schedule
as the month ended. Harvesting began in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

Early-duly heavy rains reflooded some low-lying croplands across the
southwestern Corn Belt and replenished soil moisture from the eastern Corn
Belt into the Southeast. At the end of the month, limited shower activity
left fields dry across the southern Corn Belt. Dry midmonth weather allowed
rapid small grain combining from the central Plains into parts of the Corn
Belt, while heavy rains delayed harvest progress and double-cropped soybean
planting in the Southeast. The drought ended late in the month in parts of
Texas and the Southwest, but conditions worsened in Oklahoma and Kansas. A
prolonged California heat wave until the month's end accelerated crop maturity
and caused some damage. By the end of July, corn development trailed normal
in all States, except Ohio. The crop silked on 60 percent of the acreage, and
8 percent reached the dough stage. Harvesting got underway in the extreme
South. Widespread showers benefited soybeans from the Delta through the
Southeast. Fifty-nine percent of the acreage bloomed and 20 percent set pods
by late July. Development slightly lagged normal. Hot, dry weather across
the southern Plains stalled sorghum growth. Heading .reached 33 percent,
slightly behind normal. Harvesting was active in Texas. Cotton boll setting
was slightly behind normal as the month ended. Hot, dry conditions caused
some poor stands in Oklahoma. Spring wheat combining began in tate July.

The Delta and Southeast States had favorable cool, wet August weather.
However, persistent hot, dry conditions across the Great Plains and Corn Belt
rapidly advanced small grain maturity, increased moisture stress on row crops,
and caused pasture and range deterioration. Corn development was generally
ahead of average in the western Corn Belt and lagged in the eastern Corn
Belt. Ninty percent of the acreage was in or past the dough stage, 55 percent
reached the dent stage and 10 percent matured by early September. Corn
harvesting advanced as far north as Missouri and Virginia by the end of
August. Adequate soil moisture aided soybean pod filling in the South, while
dry conditions stressed Corn Belt stands. Development was slightly ahead of
schedule across much of the Corn Belt and South. The crop bdloomed on 98
percent of the acreage and 91 percent set pods. Cotton boll setting was
virtually complete by the end of August. Harvesting was confined to Texas.
Prolonged dryness stressed dryland cattan ia the Texas Low Plains and 9klahoma,
causing some late-month square and boll shedding. However, frequent showers
provided adequate moisture for crop development across the Texas Hiah Plains.
Late-August showers benefited the critically stressed sorghum stands in
portions of the southern Plains, but more precipitation was needed as hot
weather caused rapid plant maturity. Heading neared completion at the end of
August and coloring was evident in all States. Harvesting was completed in
the Texas Blacklands by early September. Spring wheat combining progressed
rapidly, reaching 95 percent completion. Progress was ahead of schedule in
all States except Idaho.

”

Abnormally warm February temperatures left winter orains with little or no
protective snow cover on the Great Plains, but caused an early spring growth
of crops and pastures across the South. Heavy snow at midmonth and again at
the month's end halted land preparation and fertilizing in the Corn Belt.
Widespread precipitation further delayed southeastern field activities, but
corn planting managed to get underway in the extreme South by the end of
February. Sorghum planting was underway in southern Texas. Preparation for
cotton planting progressed rapidly in the Southwest and in California.
Tobacco producers prepared and seeded plant beds across the South, but wet
conditions delayed transplanting in Florida.

March rains delayed spring fieldwork across the central Plains, Corn Belt,
Delta States, and Southeast. Cool temperatures limited potential small grain
and pasture growth from the central Plains into the southern Corn Belt for
most of the month, 8y late March, corn planting reached as far north as
southern Virginia. Progress lagged normal across much of the South, except in
Texas and Louisiana. Wet conditions left emerged plants in fair condition in
the extreme South. Sorghum planting, which centered in Texas, ran slightly
behind schedule. By late March, cotton planting was widespread in Arizona,
moved into central Texas, and began jin California. Continued wet weather
delayed southeastern tobacco transplanting.

Untimely April rains, which saturated soils from the central Plains to the
east coast, limited land preparation and planting. Cool, damp weather in both
the Southeast and Corn Belt left field activities mostly 1 week behind schedule
as the month ended. Soil moisture was short from California through Texas and
in portions of Montana, but elsewhere moisture supplies rated adequate to
surplus. Abnormally cool weather east of the Rocky Mountains retarded crop
growth and development for much of the month. Late in the month, high winds
depleted soil moisture and eroded fields from California throuqh the southern
Plains. Wet conditions throughout the month hampered corn planting. Five
percent of the acreage was seeded by late April, well behind the 13 percent
average. Planting had begun in all States except Michigan, Nebraska,
Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. Sorghum planting crept into Missouri and
Oklahoma; but most activity remained in Texas where seeding was 62 percent
complete, 3 points slower than normal. Cotton planting advanced to 27 percent
completion by the month's end, compared with the average of 31 percent.
Planting was behind schedule in all States, except Arizona, California,
Louisiana, and New Mexico. Soybean planting got underway at the end of
April. Rice seeding was 38 percent finished, 6 points slower than normal.
Louisiana and Texas seedings were slightly ahead of schedule. Spring wheat
seeding reached 30 percent completion. Planting tagged normal in all States,
except Minnesota and Montana.

May’s widespread rainfall further delayed field activities across the
eastern half of the Nation. Land preparation and planting fell behind
schedule until midmonth, when a week of fair weather allowed rapid proaress.
Unusually cool temperatures slowed crop emergence and development for most of
the month from the northern Plains to the east coast. Persistent hot, dry
weather from California through Texas severely stressed dryland crops and
ranges. Elsewhere, moisture levels were generally adequate to surplus, except
in Montana. By early June, 90 percent of the corn acreage was planted,
slightly behind normal. Progress Tagged normal by 26 points in Pennsylvania
and 6 points in Illinois. 8y the end of May, fields had silked across the
South. Soybean planting reached 51 percent completion by June 3, trailing the
60 percent average. Progress was 36 points behind schedule in Michigan, 25 in
Onto, and 23 in Alabama. Sorghum planting was 53 percent finished by early
dune, 3 points ahead of normal. However, progress trailed normal by 20 points
in Nebraska and 18 points in South Oakota. Cotton planting continued slower
than normal during May, reaching 80 percent completion by June 3, 4 points
behind schedule. Early planted fields began squaring by the end of May.
Spring wheat seeding began early and progressed rapidly. Ninty-nine percent
was seeded and 89 percent emerged by early June. Rice seeding was 95 percent
finished, slightly ahead of schedule. Peanut planting neared completion in
the Southeast and was 33 percent finished in Texas by month's end. Persistent
wet conditions left tobacco transplanting behind normal in most areas.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 A-8 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS. USDA


Winter production in 1984 is set at 2.64 million cwt (120 thousand metric
tons), up 20 percent from 1983 and 17 percent above 1982. Area harvested, at
13.0 thousand acres (5260 hectares), gained 15 percent, while the average
yield of 203 cwt per acre is up 9 cwt from 1983.

Spring potato production in 1984 totaled 23.8 million cwt (1.08 million
metric tons), a gain of 30 percent from 1983 and 14 percent from 1982. Area
harvested is estimated at 86.6 thousand acres (35.1 thousand hectares), up 9
percent from 1983 and 7 percent above 1982. The average yield of 275 cwt per
acre is a record high for spring potatoes and 20 percent above 1983.

Summer potato output for 1984 totaled 23.0 million cwt (1.05 million
metric tons), an increase of 23 percent from the previous year and 1 percent
above 1982 production. Area harvested came to 107 thousand acres (43.3
thousand hectares), 7 percent more than 1983 and 6 percent above 1982. Yield
rebounded from a poor showing in 1983 to post an average 215 cwt per acre
compared with 187 cwt in 1983, but failed to meet 1982 yield average of 225
cwt per acre.

Fall potato production in 1984 is estimated at 312 million cwt (14.2
million metric tons), a gain of 6 percent from 1983 and 1 percent above 1982.
Harvested area totaled 1.09 million acres (442 thousand hectares), up 4
percent from 1983 and 2 percent above 1982. The average yield is 286 cwt per
acre, up 6 cwt from the previous year, but 2 cwt short of the record high set
in 1982.

In the seven Eastern States, production is set at 38.4 million cwt, 1
percent abové a year ago, but T6 percent below 1982. Area harvested at 157
thousand acres is 4 percent below 1983, continuing a downward slide for the
region. Average yield came in at 245 cwt per acre, a gain of 12 cwt.
Production in Maine, at 21.4 million cwt, is down 5 percent from 1983. New
York output of 10.4 million cwt gained 7 percent; while Pennsylvania
production of 5.16 million cwt is up 20 percent.

The eight Central States produced 75.6 million cwt of potatoes this
season, a Jump o percent from a year ago and 10 percent above 1982. Area
for harvest, at 344 thousand acres swelled 5 percent; while average yield, at
220 cwt per acre, is up 9 percent. Michigan growers produced 12.5 million
cwt, up 27 percent from 1983. Wisconsin output of 21.4 million cwt is up 13
percent, Minnesota and North Dakota production gained 34 and 1 percent,
respectively, although Red River Valley harvest was beset with dry, cloddy
soils and heavy potato bruising.

In the nine Western States, production totaled 198 million cwt, up 4
percent from and percent above 1982. Area harvested, at 593 thousand
acres, is was ug 6 percent; while the average yield of 334 cwt per acre is ?
percent below 1983. Yields are below 1983 in each of the Pacific Northwest
States (Idaho, Washington and Oregon) but not enough to offset their acreage
increases. Idaho production of 86.6 million cwt is up nearly 1 percent;
Washington harvest of 56.9 million cwt gained 5 percent; Oregon output hit
22.7 million cwt, up 10 percent. These three States ranked 1, 2, and 3,
respectively, this year in national production of fall potatoes.

SWEETPOTATOES: Production of sweetpotatoes totaled 13.0 million cwt (539

thousand metric tons) in 1984, a gain of 8 percent from 1993
but 12 percent short of the 1982 output. Area harvested, totaling 105
thousand acres (42.3 thousand hectares}, is up 2 percent from last year but 9
percent below 1982. The average yield of 124 cwt per acre gained 6 cwt (5
percent) from 1983, but failed ta top the record high of 129 cwt set in
19382, Production was above 1983 in the deep South and New Jersey, but fell
short in California, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, and Maryland.

TOSACCO: All tobacco production in 1984 totaled 1.74 billion pounds (791 thou-

sand metric tons), 22 percent above 1983. Most of the increase was
in burtey and flue-cured production. Growers harvested 797 thousand acres
(323 thousand hectares), up 1 percent from the previous year. Yields averaged
a record high 2187 pounds per acre, 376 pounds greater than in 1983. This is
2 pounds above the previous record high yield set in 1982.

Flue-cured production is estimated at 865 million pounds (392 thousand
metric tons), up 5 percent from the 821 million pounds (373 thousand metric
tons) produced in 1983. The increased production resulted from higher
yields. Area harvested totaled 394 thousand acres (159 thousand hectares)
compared with 410 thousand acres (166 thousand hectares) harvested in 1983,
Acreage harvested was at the lowest level since record keeping started in
1919. Yield per acre average 2196 pounds, 192 pounds above the previous year.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 B-39 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USCA


Sorghum planting in the seven major producing States was 53 percent
complete by June 3, 1984, seven major producing States, 10 percentage points
ahead of last year, and 3 points ahead of the 5-year average. Development was
near normal by mid-summer and the crop was in fair to good condition.
However, hot, dry weather in portions of the southern Plains stalled growth in
some areas late in July. Hot, dry conditions persisted in much of the major
growing region during the remainder of summer. Late August showers benefited
critically stressed stands in portions of the southern Plains. By early fall
maturity was behind last year but slightly above the 5-year average in the 7
major producing States. Above normal precepitation during October held
harvest progress to 62 percent complete by the end of the month, compared with
69 percent on the average.

OATS: Oat production in 1984 is estimated at 472 million bushels (6.85 mil~
lion metric tons), 1 percent less than the 1983 crop of 477 million

bushels (6.92 million metric tons). A decrease from 1983 in acres harvested
for grain was almost entirely offset by a higher average yield. The 8.12
million acres (3.29 million hectares) harvested for grain is 10 percent below
a year ago and 21 percent below 1982, Yield per harvested acre for grain
averaged a record high 58,1 bushels, compared with 52.6 bushels per acre a
year earlier and the previous record high yield of 57.8 bushels set in 1982.
Seeded area totaled 12.4 million acres (5.00 million hectares) in 1984,
compared with 20.3 million acres (8.21 million hectares) in 1983 when oats
‘were used extensively as a cover crop for the PIK program. Acres abandoned
and used for purposes other than grain accounted for 34 percent of the planted
acres in 1984, compared with 55 percent of the 1983 crop.

In the major States (lfowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota) planting was
delayed due to wet, coo] weather but conditions improved later and planting
was completed on time. Planting in North Dakota started at a good pace and
was generally ahead of normal. Development was good in the major growing
areas and had “peaked” before the “drought" condition in North Dakota.
Harvest conditions were generally good and progressed ahead of normal.

BARLEY: Barley production in 1984 is estimated at a record high 597 million

bushels (13.0 million metric tons), up 17 percent from the 509 million
bushels (11.1 million metric tons) produced in 1983. Average yield per acre
was 53.4 bushels, up 1.1? bushels from last year but down 3.8 bushels from the
record high of 57.2 bushels in 1982. Record high yields were recorded or
equaled in Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North
Dakota, South Carolina and South Dakota.

Area harvested for grain in 1984 totaled 11.2 mitlion acres (4.52 million
hectares), up 15 percent from last year.

Planting of the 1984 barley crop got off to a good start and generally was
completed ahead of normal. North Dakota, the leading producing State, had
good spring weather and planting was completed by the end of May. Good
moisture and weather in June enabled the crop to develop ahead of normal and
was fully developed before the drought could have any effect. The entire croo
was harvested by August 26, the earliest of record. In Minnesota, good
growing conditions alsa resulted in record yields. In Montana, moisture was
short in much of the northcentral and northeastern areas of the State and a
considerable acreage was abandoned to grazing or hay. Development was behind
normal in Idaho and Washington due to cool, wet spring weather. However, good
weather during the summer enabled the crop to catch up and good yields were
recorded. In California, the barley crop had generally good growing and
harvesting conditions and good yields were experienced.

ALL WHEAT: Total 1984 production of winter, other spring, and durum wheat is
estimated at 2.60 billion bushels (70.6 million metric tons), 7
percent more than last year's production.

There were 66.9 million acres (27.1 million hectares) harvested for arain,
up 9 percent from the 61.4 million acres (24.8 million hectares) harvested in
1983. Yields averaged 38.8 bushels per acre, 0.6 bushel less than last year's
record high average.

WINTER WHEAT: Growers produced 2.06 billion bushels (56.1 million metric

tons) of winter wheat in 1984, up 4 percent from 1983, Area
harvested totaled $1.5 million acres (20.8 million hectares), 8 percent more
than the 47.6 million acres (19.3 million hectares) combined last year.
Yields averaged 40.0 bushels per acre, the second highest of record. A total
of 63.4 miltion acres (25.7 mittion hectares) was seeded for the 1984 harvest.

ANNUAL CROP SUMMARY, JANUARY 1985 B-5 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA



a

Early-September rain aided late-planted soybean sizing across the eastern
Corn Belt, but the benefit to corn was limited due to the crop's advanced
maturity, Persistent dryness stressed southeastern soybeans. Development of
most crops was ahead of normal in the western Corn Belt but lagged slightly in
eastern areas. A prolonged California heat wave until midmonth rapidly
matured most crops. A late-September, unusually hard freeze pushed southward,
halting plant growth across the Rocky Mountains, northern and central Plains,
and most of the western Corn Belt. However, damage was minimal because most
crops were mature. Corn combining was active in all States by late September,
with progress ranging from 3 percent finished in Pennsylvania to 91 percent
complete in Georgia. Soybean harvesting trailed the average in half the major
States. Combining had not started in the Carolinas or Fennessee. Progress
ranged from 1 percent combined in Arkansas to 30 percent complete in lowa.
Cotton harvesting was active in all States, except New Mexico, as the month
ended. Progress ranged up to 16 percent finished in Téxas. Sorghum

harvesting was 37 percent finished, slightly ahead of schedule. Progress
ranged from 6 percent finished in South Dakota to 67 percent complete in
Texas. Rice combining ran slightly ahead of its normal pace, reaching 62
percent completion at month's end.

Untimely moderate to heavy October rains seriously delayed most crop
harvesting from the Delta States through the eastern Corn Belt for much of the
month. Continued dry weather in the Southeast, stressed soybeans, advanced
the crop's maturity, and delayed small grain seeding. Corn harvesting neared
the halfway mark as the month ended. Progress equaled or lagged normal in all
States, except Georgia. Combining was 17 points slower than normal in the
eastern Corn Belt and 6 points behind in the western Corn Belt. Soybean
harvesting was seriously delayed by rain across the major producing area,
reaching 46 percent completion by the month's end. Progress trailed normal by
31 points in the eastern Corn Belt, 27 points in the South Central States, and
19 points in the western Corn Belt. Continued heavy rain halted cotton
picking and caused some quality loss in the Delta States. Harvesting was 30
percent finished; normally 43 percent is picked by the end of October.
Picking lagged normal by 42-45 points in Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, and
Tennessee. Sorghum harvesting was 62 percent complete, trailing the 69
percent average. Rice combining was ahead of schedule in California and
Mississippi, equaled the average in Louisiana and Texas but was behind
schedule in Arkansas. Harvesting was 89 percent finished compared with the 95
percent average as October ended.

After untimely, prolonged rains in early November, fair weather allowed
harvest resumption as soils dried across the Delta States and much of the Corn
Belt. Heavy rain returned late in the month, hampering soybean and cotton
harvests in the Delta States and completion of row crop combining in the
eastern Corn Belt. The southeast and Great Plains had favorable harvest
weather for much of the month. Harvests of most crops lagged norma) in the
Nation's midsection for the entire month. Corn harvesting was slightly behind
schedule as November ended. Combining was 14 points behind schedule in Ohio
and 12 points slower than normal in Pennsylvania. Soybean harvesting was 91
percent complete, 5 points slower than normal. Eastern Corn Belt harvesting
was 6 points behind schedule; while in the South Central States, progress was
12 points slower than normal. Sorghum combining was nearly finished as the
month ended. Cotton picking was only 70 percent complete by early December,
trailing the 79 percent average. Progress Tagged normal in all States except
Arizona, California, and Oklahoma. A heavy Tate-month frost opened late
maturing bolls southward into West Texas.

Muddy fields hampered early December harvests in the Oelta, eastern Corn
Belt, and the Southeast. Wet conditions caused further deterioration of
remaining soybeans and cotton in some areas. Early-month freezing
temperatures defoliated cotton from Texas to Arkansas, allowing increased
harvesting on drier soils. Wet weather shifted westward into the central and
southern Plains just before midmonth delaying cotton harvesting in that
region, Fair weather accelerated harvesting across the Delta and Southeast
but wet conditions limited combining of the remaining corn and soybean fields
in the eastern Corn Belt. Unusual warmth over the southeastern half of the
Nation the last half of the month stimulated pasture and fall-seeded small
grain growth, and caused premature bud swelling of fruit trees. Late-month
rain and wet fields from the Southwest through the Delta States generally
slowed completion of cotton and soybean harvesting. Frozen soils across the
Corn Belt allowed some combining of the remaining corn and soybean fields for
a short time during the month, As December ended, cotton harvesting made
little progress. Picking was virtually complete except in’ Missouri, New
Mexico, Okianoma, Tennessee, and Texas. Producers were 95 percent finished in
Missouri, 91 percent complete in New Mexico 85 percent finished in Oklahoma,
and 71 percent complete in Texas. Progress lagged normal by 10 points in
Oklahoma and 23 points in Texas. Quality of the remaining cotton continued to
suffer because of wet conditions in most areas.

PLANTED ACREAGE OF PRINCIPAL CROPS UP

Area of principal crops planted or grown in 1984 totaled 345 million acres
(140 million hectares), up 35 million acres from 1983, primarily because of
government programs to reduce crop acreage in 1983, but 14 million acres below
1982. The major crops showing increases in planted acreage from 1983 are:
Corn--34 percent, sorghum--45 percent, barley--14 percent, all wheat--4
percent, soybeans--6 percent, and cotton--41 percent. Oat acreage is down 39
percent. Oat plantings were unusually high in 1983 when growers seeded for
cover the acreage taken out of production and placed in the Payment-In-Kind
program, Harvested area of principal crops totaled 336 million acres (136
million hectares), up 42 million acres from 1983, but down 14 millfon acres

from 1982,

CORN FOR GRAIN: Corn for grain production in 1984 is estimated at 7.65 billion

bushels (194 million metric tons), up 83 percent from last
year's drought-stricken and PIK program crop but down 7 percent from the
record high production in 1982. The U.S. yield per acre is 106.6 bushels per
acre, up from the low yield of 81.1 bushels last year.

Growers planted 80.4 million acres (32.5 million hectares) of corn in 1984,
34 percent more than was planted in 1983 but in line with what is normally
planted to corn. The 1983 planted acres were low because of the large
participation in the PIK program. The area harvested for grain in 1984 is
estimated at 71.8 million acres (29.0 million hectares), up 39 percent from
last year. Corn cut for silage in 1984 is estimated at 7.53 million acres
(3.05 million hectares), 4 percent less than a year ago. The average yield
per acre of 13,8 tons was up from 12.3 tons in 1983. Production of silage, at
104 million tons (94.4 million metric tons), was up 8 percent from last year.

Planting of the 1984 corn crop was generally behind normal due to the wet
spring weather, However, good weather in late May and early June enabled
farmers to get most of their corn planted and planting was actually completed
ahead of normal, Most areas received ample rainfall in June and although
development was behind normal, the crop looked generally good. The weather in
duly was ideal for pollination with most areas experiencing below normal
temperatures. The Corn Belt experienced very dry weather during August but
the July rainfall apparently helped carry the crop. Missouri was particularly
hurt by hot, dry weather in July and August and their yield potential declined
considerably. The eastern and South Atlantic States experienced good weather
in August after abundant rainfall in July. Many of these States experienced
record high yields.

Harvesting of the corn crop was generally on schedute in the western Corn
Belt and southeast, but lagged normal in the eastern Corn Belt where wet
weather hampered harvesting.

SORGHUM: The 1984 sorghum grain production totaled 866 million bushels (22.0
million metric tons), 78 percent more than 1983 and 4 percent above
1982. Area harvested for grain totaled 15.3 million acres (6.21 million
hectares) compared with 10.0 million acres (4.05 million hectares) in 1983 and
14.1 million acres (5.72 million hectares) in 1982, The U.S. yield is 56.4
bushels per acre, 7.7 bushels above last year but 2.7 bushels below 1982.

Production of sorghum silage, at 6.47 million tons (5.87 million metric
tons), is down 2 percent from last year and 13 percent from 1982. The average
yield of sorghum silage is 10.6 tons per acre compared with 10.3 tons per acre
last year and the record high 12.3 tons per acre set in 1982. A total of 609
thousand acres (246 thousand hectares) was harvested for silage in 1934
compared with 639 thousand acres (259 thousand hectares) harvested a year
earlier and 603 thousand acres (244 thousand hectares) in 1982. Sorghum for
forage on 680 thousand acres (275 thousand hectares) is a record low forage
acreage, down 9 percent from last year's 747 thousand acres (302 thousand
hectares) and 26 percent below the 914 thousand acres (370 thousand hectares)
in 1982.

Sorghum planted for all purposes in 1984 totaled 17.2 million acres (6.98
million hectares), up 45 percent from a year earlier and 8 percent above
1982. Area harvested for all purposes amounted to 16.6 million acres (6.73
million hectares), up 46 percent from 1983. Abandonment of planted acres
averaged 3.5 percent compared with 4.1 percent in 1983.
