volume increased during December in the San Joaquin Valley and in Southern
California. Fruit quality is average.

The Arizona forecast has been increased to 4.80 million boxes (182.000 tons),
12 percent more than the previous forecast and 9 percent greater than last
season. Approximately 54 percent of the crop had been harvested as of
January 1.

Tangelos: The Florida tangelo forecast remains unchanged from December at

3.10 million boxes (140.000 tons). If realized, this year’s crop
would be 2 percent larger than last season. Harvest is in full swing with over
40 percent of the crop already picked.

Tangerines: The 1993-94 tangerine crop is forecast at 311,000 tons, unchanged

from December but 24 percent more than last season. The Florida
tangerine forecast remains unchanged at 3.70 million boxes (176,000 tons).
Virtually all of the early tangerines have been moved. Harvest of Dancy
tangerines is well underway. The California tangerine forecast remains
unchanged at 2.50 mittion boxes (94,000 tons}, up 14 percent from fast season.
Harvest is underway with good fruit quality reported. The Arizona forecast is
unchanged at 1.10 million boxes (41,000 tons), 16 percent more than last
season. Over 48 percent of the Arizona crop has been harvested.

Temples: The Florida Temple forecast remains unchanged at 2.30 million boxes
(104,000 tons), 8 percent below last season’s production. Harvest is
just beginning for the 1993-94 crop.

K-Early Citrus: The January 1 forecast for the 1993-94 K-Early Citrus crop
remains unchanged from last month at 210,000 boxes
(9,000 tons). Harvest is complete for this season's crop.

Florida Citrus: Citrus groves. trees, and fruit remaining for harvest were all
in good condition during December. Rainfall through the
citrus belt was generally less than average. However, the demand for moisture
by the citrus trees has been minimal. The cool temperatures and the lack of
regular rain have greatly slowed tree growth. Citrus trees do not go dormant.
Fruit loss from droppage is generally light. Harvest of early and midseason
oranges increased during December for both fresh and processing use.
Caretakers were cutting cover crops, placing heaters in the groves, and banking
young trees for protection from the cold.

Texas Citrus: Favorable weather conditions allowed harvest to progress

without major delays. Harvest of early oranges and Navels was
winding down by the end of December. Caretakers continued with normal
activities.

California Fruit and Nuts: Activities during December included orchard

pruning and winter weed control. Bare-root
nursery stock digging. tree hole fumigation, and replanting were also
conducted. The harvest of avocados and dates continued in Southern California.
Picking of citrus fruit was active during December, with Navel oranges leading
the way.

Hay Stocks on Farms: Hay stocks on farms totaled 102 million tons on

December 1, 1993. 4 percent less than the amount on hand
a year earlier. The decrease in stocks reflects early hay feeding in areas
where pasture conditions were poor during the summer and this past fall.
Disappearance of hay during the May 1. 1993, to December 1, 1993, period
totaled 68.1 million tons, down 5 percent from the 71.9 million tons
disappearance during the same period a year earlier.

Released on January 12, 1994, by the Agricultural Statistics Board. Forecasts
refer to January 1, 1994.

Cotton Production Down Slightly from Last Year

All cotton production, at 16.2 million bales. is down 42,900 bales from 1992.
Upland production in Texas increased 56 percent from last year. due to
harvesting 91 percent of the planted acreage this season compared to only 65
percent in 1992. California’s upland crop is forecast at 2.93 million bales,
exceeding earlier production expectations.

All orange production is forecast at 10.5 million tons, up 2 percent from last
month but 5 percent below last season. Florida’s production forecast is

176 million boxes (7.92 million tons), up 2 percent from December but

6 percent below last season. Early and mid-season varieties are expected to
produce 110 million boxes (4.95 million tons), up 2 percent from December but
4 percent less than last season. The Florida Valencia forecast is

66.0 million boxes (2.97 million tons), up 3 percent from December but

9 percent below a year ago. California’s all orange production is forecast at
66.0 million boxes (2.48 million tons), unchanged from last month but down

1 percent from last season. The Navel orange forecast remained unchanged at
38.0 million boxes (1.43 million tons), 13 percent less than last year. The
Valencia forecast is 28.0 million boxes (1.05 million tons) also unchanged
from December but up 22 percent over last year’s revised production.

Florida frozen concentrated juice yield for the 1993-94 season is projected to
be 1.56 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix. This increase from last month's
forecast of 1.55 gallons per box is accompanied by the initial projections for
the seasonal components. The projected yield for the early and mid-season
varieties is 1.52 gallons per box, the same as last year’s record high, The
Valencia portion of the crop is expected to yield 1.65 gallons per box. Last
season's final yield for Valencias was 1.69 gallons per box. The forecast is
projected to estimate the final yield as reported by the Florida Citrus
Processors Association.

December Weather Summary: The Polar Front Jet Stream (PFJ), locked safely

north of the Canadian border until December 20,
plunged precipitously southeastward thereafter. ushering a frigid, stormy
regime into the Nation's northeastern quadrant. Accumulated positive
temperature anomalies vanished in the Eastern States, and were significantly
reduced in the north central States. However, temperatures remained above
normal for the duration of the month in the High Plains, which remained west of
the PFJ's thrust, and under the influence of downslope (warm) winds. In the
West, near- to above-normal temperatures prevailed, along with below-normal
precipitation.

California Water Conditions Update: Heavy precipitation failed to materialize

across the West in December, despite
encouraging storm systems during the first-half of the month. But after a mid-
month transition from slow-moving spring-like storms to a storm-blocking ridge
of high pressure, chances for rain and snow dwindled. Nevertheless, the
cumulative storage of California’s 155 largest reservoirs is near-normal due to
the drought-ending precipitation of the 1992-93 wet season. The State's
reservoirs contained 22.5 million acre feet (7.3 trillion gallons) of water on
January 1, 1994, which is 101 percent of the long-term average. A year ago, on
January 1, 1993, the cumulative effects of 6 years of drought had left
reservoir storage at 13.0 million acre feet (4.2 trillion gallons).

On January 1, 1994, snowpack in California's Sierra Nevada mountains stood at
45 percent of normal, ranging from about 40 percent of normal in the south to
55 percent of normal in the north. During a typical season, the Sierras amass
slightly less than half of the season’s snowfall by January 1, and attain a
maximum snowpack around April 1. Subsequent spring snowmelt is the primary
source of water for the State's reservoirs.

Snow cover, depth, and frequency increased dramatically after mid-month in an
arc from the Great Lakes States to the Northeast. Elkins, WV, reported at
least a trace of snow on each day from December 18 through month's end.
Meanwhile, snow (and frigid air) infrequently covered winter wheat areas from
Kansas southward. Farther north, warmth eroded considerable snow cover in
Montana. By December 31, snow covered an area from the Dakotas southeastward
to the middle Mississippi and Onio Valleys, and eastward through the Middle
Atlantic States.

Buffalo, NY, noted -9 degrees F on December 27, their lowest reading since
January 21, 1985. A day earlier, Sault Ste. Marie, MI. eclipsed its December
record with -31 degrees F. Several weeks earlier, record warmth pressed into
the Pacific Northwest in advance of a strong storm. Portland, OR (65 degrees
F) and Salem, OR (66 degrees F) registered December records on the 10th. The
storm responsible for that warmth turned out to be the last in a series of
slow-moving, cross-continental storms, effectively shutting down the
precipitation machine across the West Coast States. Farther east. rain and
snow continued at an irregular rate, as storms originating in the Canadian
Prairies (termed “Alberta Clippers") occasionally tapped sub-tropical moisture.
One such storm deposited an inch of snow in Columbus, GA, on December 23, while
another dropped 4 inches of snow and ice on Richmond, VA. on December 28-29.

General Crop Comments: Snow cover for winter wheat was adequate in the
Northwest and northern Great Plains in early December.
Above-normal temperatures during the month in Montana and the Northwest reduced
the snow cover. By the end of the month, snow cover for winter wheat in these
areas was slight to non-existent. Warm conditions in the central Great Plains

a@ year ago and 8 percent below two years ago. The average yield is projected
at 211 cwt per acre, 23 cwt higher than last year but 13 cwt below 1992.

The Florida crop is expected to be 3 percent larger than a year ago, if the
season goes as expected. Harvest should start in early February. California
growers look to harvest a slightly smaller crop than they did last year.
Yields should be higher but harvested acreage is off 700 acres.

Spring Potatoes, 1993 Revised: The 1993 spring potato crop is finalized at
19.7 million cwt. down 9 percent from last year

and 5 percent below 1991 output. Area harvested, at 83,800 acres. was

1 percent above a year ago but was 4 percent below two years ago. The average

yield of 235 cwt per acre was down 24 cwt from last year.

Papayas: Hawaii's fresh papaya production is estimated at 5.79 million pounds
during December. This was 4 percent lower than November but

14 percent more than December 1992. Annual 1993 fresh papaya sales were

4 percent greater than the 1992 total.

Weather conditions during December were cool and variable. Intermittent showers
graced major growing areas during the first-half of the month. A winter storm
brought heavier rainfall at mid-month. The latter part of December was drier
with mostly sunshine during the last week.

Area devoted to papaya production is estimated at 3,365 acres, 2 percent lower
than November and 8 percent lower than December of Tast year. Harvested area,
totaling 2,480 acres, was 2 percent lower than last month and 10 percent lower
than a year ago.

Grapefruit: The forecast of the 1993-94 U.S grapefruit crop (excluding
California’s "Other Areas") is 2.38 million tons, virtually
unchanged from last month but down 9 percent from last season. Last year,
California’s “Other Areas” produced 201,000 tons (6.00 million boxes). The
first forecast for that type of grapefruit will be made as of April 1, 1994.

The forecasts for all three types of Florida grapefruit are unchanged from
December and total 49.0 million boxes (2.08 million tons). Those respective
forecasts are white seedless 23.0 million boxes (978,000 tons); colored
seedless 25.0 million boxes (1.06 million tons); and seedy grapefruit

1.00 million boxes (43,000 tons). Movement of white and colored grapefruit for
domestic and export use was active through December. About 80 percent of the
seedless varieties remain for harvest.

The forecast for the California desert grapefruit crop is 111,000 tons

(3.30 million boxes), down 1 percent from October 1 and last season. Fruit
quality is reported to be excellent. The Texas grapefruit forecast remains at
2.80 million boxes (112,000 tons), 49 percent larger than last season. Almost
50 percent of the crop has been harvested. The Arizona grapefruit forecast is
70,000 tons (2.10 million boxes). unchanged from October and up 1 percent from
last season. Harvest is just getting underway and is approximately 14 percent
complete.

Lemons: The 1993-94 U.S. lemon crop is forecast at 942,000 tons, up 2 percent
from October and up 1 percent from last season. The California
forecast remains unchanged at 20.0 million boxes (760,000 tons). Picking

reduced and removed most of their Snow cover in December. Further east, snow
and low temperatures during December provided adequate cover for winter wheat
across the Dakotas, Minnesota, and the middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys.
Ory conditions slowed winter wheat growth in the southern Great Plains. In the
South and Southeast, winter wheat fields were affected by low temperatures and
excessive moisture. By the end of December, the winter wheat Crop across the
Nation was in generally good condition. However, producers in the Northwest,
Montana, and the central Great Plains were concerned about the lack of snow
cover. The soybean harvest in the Southeast ended by mid-December, and the
cotton harvest concluded in Texas at the end of the month. The citrus harvest
was active throughout the month. Cool weather in California and Florida in
early December enhanced citrus color.

Cotton: Upland cotton planted acreage is estimated at 13.3 million acres, up

2 percent from the 1992. Harvested acreage at 12.6 million acres,
is 16 percent greater than last year. Texas harvested 91 percent of the
planted acreage this season, compared to only 65 percent in 1992. Producers
planted 190.000 acres of American-Pima cotton in 1993. down 28 percent from
1992. Harvested acreage is estimated at 188,900 acres, a 27 percent decrease
from last year.

In Texas, harvest neared completion throughout the State. In the Low Plains,
producers shredded stalks and plowed fields. Generally, favorable weather
caused the crop to develop faster than normal and harvest proceeded ahead of
the average pace throughout the entire season.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi. Missouri, and Tennessee)
suffered from drought, extreme temperatures, and insect infestations during
1993. Plantings were delayed but eventually equalled the 5-year average pace.
Boll development was reduced and yields declined from the potentially higher
yields indicated in August. Although planted acreage in this region was
virtually unchanged from 1992 planted acreage, harvested acreage declined

1 percent.

Arizona yields improved from last year. The 1992 yields were adversely
affected by whitefly infestations and weather related problems. Early season
rainfall in California caused plantings to be late in 1993. but development was
better than anticipated and yields exceeded earlier expectations.

In the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina), drought and extreme temperatures also affected production.

Plantings of the 1993 crop were 13 percent above 1992 and harvested acreage was
12 percent greater than last year.

American-Pima production is forecast at 385,000 bales, down 24 percent from
1992's output and down 2,000 bales from the December forecast. Yield is
indicated at 978 pounds per harvested acre, up 40 pounds from last year.
Arizona shows a yield increase of 152 pounds per acre compared to 1992, due to
last year’s crop being affected by adverse weather and insect problems.

Al] cotton ginnings totaled 15,303,300 running bales prior to January 1,
compared with 14,944,150 running bales ginned to the same date last year and
15,877,750 running bales in 1991.

Winter Potatoes: Production of winter potatoes in 1994 is forecast at
2.60 million cwt, up 2 percent from last year but 13 percent
below 1992. Area for harvest is estimated at 12,300 acres. off 10 percent from
