final yield was 1.28931 gallons per box which was also affected by freezing
weather,

GRAPEFRUIT: The 1985-86 grapefruit crop, excluding California “other areas”

grapefruit, is forecast at 51.1 mfllion boxes (1.91 million
metric tons}, the same as February 1 but 1 percent less than last season.
Florida's forecast, at 44.0 million boxes, is unchanged from February 1 and
the same as last season. California's “Desert Valley" grapefruit production
forecast continues at 4.00 million boxes, 3 percent above 1984-85. The
forecast for Arizona's crop continues at 2,90 million boxes, 22 percent below
last season. The forecast in Texas remains at 220 thousand boxes.

Grapefruit harvest was 63 percent complete on March 1, compared with 55
percent an the same date a year ago. Picking in Florida is 66 percent
complete, compared with 57 percent on March 17 Vast year. Harvest in Arizona
is 45 percent complete and California's Desert Valley crop is 48 percent
harvested.

LEMONS: The production forecast in Arizona and California is expected to

total 21.0 million boxes (724 thousand metric tons), unchanged from
February 1 but 19 percent less than last season's utilized production. The
California crop forecast remains at 17.9 million boxes, 10 percent less than
the utilized crop of the 1984-85 season. In Arizona, the forecast continues
at 3.10 million boxes, 48 percent below last season's utilized crop. Harvest
is about 95 percent complete in Arizona and 31 percent in California.

TEMPLES: The Florida forecast continues at 3.00 million boxes (122 thousand
metric tons), unchanged from February 1 but 8 percent below last
season. Harvest was 70 percent complete as of March 1.

TANGERINES: The U.S. forecast, at 3.65 million boxes (135 thousand metric

tons), is unchanged from the February 1 forecast but is 6 percent
more than the 1984-85 crop. The Florida forecast remains at 1.15 million
boxes, 10 percent above last season. The California forecast remains at 1.80
million boxes, up 7 percent from last season. The Arizona forecast continues
at 700 thousand boxes, the same as 1984-85.

TANGELOS: The Florida crop, excluding K-early citrus fruit, at 3.00 million

boxes (122 thousand metric tons), is unchanged from February 1, but
is 17 percent below last season. Harvest as of March 1 was 97 percent
complete,

TEXAS CITRUS: With the 1985-86 season winding down, citrus growers are opti-

mistic about next season. Mild weather throughout the winter
was benefical to citrus groves. Many groves are now blooming. A good flush
of new growth has been seen across most of the Rio Grande Valley. Moisture
conditions have been good with little irrigation necessary.

FEBRUARY WEATHER SUMMARY

A sertes of Pacific storms battered the west coast with heavy rain, gusty
winds, and mountain snow, After midmonth the heavy rain moved northward to
affect only the Northwest. Hardest hit tn California was the north central
area where deluges of rain caused flooding and land erosion. After the
storms, much warmer weather spread through California and then covered the
southern half of the Nation. Early in the month snow fell through the Great
Plains as far south as the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma. Subsequent warming
melted the snow. Snow also fell from the Great Lakes to the Tennessee Valley,
through the Appalachtans, and from the mid-Atlantic States northward, Later
warming melted the snow south of the Great Lakes and Pennsylvania.
Precipitation was well below normal from central Mississippi through the
western Carolinas. Less extensive dry areas were in parts of southern Texas,
the Southwest, and spotty areas in the Plains. By the end of the month the
unusually warm weather had promoted the greening of grasses and budding of
fruit trees through the southern part of the Nation but on the last day of the
month, freezing weather reached into the lower Mississippi Valley and to
western Georgia. Damage to blooms seemed to be minimal. (Prepared by
NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)

WINTER WHEAT

Winter wheat was mostly good to fair during February. Early in the month
snow cover stretched as far south as Texas, but some wheat in the central
Plains lacked proper protection from cold temperatures. Shortly thereafter,
warmer temperatures melted snow from Kansas southward leaving wheat
unprotected from cold weather the rest of the month, but warmer-than-normal
temperatures kept damage to a minimum. Near the end of February, snow cover
virtually vanished from wheat tn the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountain
States. Producers were concerned with late freeze damage in these areas with
wheat breaking dormancy earlier than normal. By months’ end wheat was
greening as far north as Oregon and jointing in Arizona, Oklahoma and Texas.
In the central and southern Plains, warmth promoted growth but it was slowed
somewhat by insufficient moisture.

FEBRUARY FIELOWORK

Land preparation progressed rapidly for spring planting in California and
Arizona the first half of February. Heavy rain and flooding halted most field
activity in northern and central California but fieldwork continued its fast
pace in Arizona. By midmonth cotton seeding was underway in Arizona. Wetness
slowed field activity in the Southeast the first half of the month. As soils
dried, fieldwork picked up considerably. By months' end corn planting was 15
percent finished in Texas, compared with 3 percent normally. Seeding of corn
was just underway in Georgia and 2 percent of Louisiana's acreage was in the
ground, Sorghum seeding reached 4 percent completion in Texas. Fruit
producers pruned and applied dormant sprays to orchards in the Northwest and
in the South. Fruit trees had reached the bloom stage as far north as Utah by
the end of February.

ORANGES: The U.S. a)] orange crop is forecast at 179 million boxes,.(6.94

million metric tons) for the 1985-86 season, down 3 percent from the
February 1 forecast but 13 percent above the 1984-85 season. Florida's all
orange crop is estimated at 125 million boxes, down 4 percent from the
February 1 estimate but 20 percent higher than last season's crop. Production
prospects for early and mid-season oranges in Florida are 66.0 million boxes,
off 4 percent from February 1 but 20 percent above 1984-85, Harvest of early
and mid-season oranges is 93. percent complete. The Valencia crop in Florida
is forecast at 59.0 million boxes, down 3 percent from the February I forecast
but 21 percent more than the 1984-85 season. Only 3 percent of the Florida
Valencias had been picked as of March 1 but harvest is increasing rapidly as
the early and mid-season harvest nears completion.

Harvest of all U.S. oranges as of March 1 was about 48 percent complete
and compares with 53 percent a year earlier.

FLORIDA CITRUS: During the first half of February, Florida's citrus trees were

recovering from the January 28 freeze. Agricultural weather
improved throughout February. The Jast two weeks of the month, warm weather
helped produce an abundance of new growth with many trees forming bloom buds
By the last of February, there were some young tree groves that had much open
bloom. Some older blocks of trees generally had little to moderate bloom
flowers. Open btoom is very unusual for this time of year and is very
vulnerable to freezing temperatures. Early and midseason orange harvest was
slowing by the end of February, as supplies were running low. Grapefruit
movement is increasing as there is additional labor now available from orange
harvest crews. Picking of tangelos is all but over for the 1985-86 season.
Movement of Temples is steady with most of this crop going into the processing
plants.

PAPAYAS: Fresh papaya production from Hawaii is forecast at 4.30 million

pounds (1950 metric tons) for March. Output in April is anticipated
to reach 5.00 miltion pounds (2270 metric tons), then drop to 4.50 million
pounds (2046 metric tons) in May. A 2 percent rise to 4.60 million pounds
(2090 metric tons) is expected for June.

A windstorm on February 16 caused extensive damage to some orchards in and
around the Hito area. Major plantings escaped serious damage. Trees
destroyed represent a small percentage of the acreage currently being
harvested and total output is mot expected to be affected significantly.

Fresh utilization in February is estimated at 3.83 million pounds (1740
metric tons), up 2 percent from January but 4 percent less than February
1985, Crop area totaled 3890 acres (1570 hectares), up 2 percent from the
previous month but 1 percent less than a year ago. Area harvested totaled
2480 acres (1000 hectares), up 2 percent from last month but 12 percent below

ast year.

POTATOES: The 1986 WINTER potato crop is forecast at 2.84 million cwt (129
thousand metric tons), up 6 percent from last year and 8 percent
above two years ago. Area for harvest is estimated at 12.3 thousand acres
(4980 hectares), down 7 percent from last year and 5 percent below 1984, The
average yield per acre, at 231 cwt this year, jumped 13 percent from last year

The California crop, at 1.40 million cwt, is nearly as large as tast
year. Fewer acres for harvest were nearly offset by improved yield. In
Florida, harvest is in full swing and should peak by mid-March. Most growers
expect to complete harvest by April 20. Size and quality are very good and
show no ill effects from freeze damage in January.

Planted area for SPRING potatoes is estimated at 76.5 thousand acres (31.0
thousand hectares), down 17 percent from tast year and 13 percent below two
years ago. Area for harvest is forecast at 75.4 thousand acres (30.5 thousand
hectares), a drop of 13 percent from both of the last two years.

California growers cut planted acreage 38 percent from a year ago. Kern
County fields have had good growing conditions, unaffected by heavy rains and
flooding that occurred farther north. Area planted in Arizona, at 5800 acres,
is the same as last year. In Texas, planting and growing conditions are off
to a good start. Planting was completed on schedule in the Rio Grande Valley,
is progressing well in San Antonio-wWinter Garden area, and its just starting in
the Knox-Haskell area.

Alabama planting is more than half complete, but growth in early fields
was slowed slightly by cold temperatures. Florida fields show no significant
damage from cold weather in February. Planting in the Hastings area should be
complete by early March. Planting is virtually completed in other areas of
the State except the Panhandle. Early harvest will start by mid-April.
Planting in North Carolina was a little over 10 percent complete by early
March and js progressing ahead of schedule.
