1990 acreage was cut sharply by a freeze in late December of 1989. The
current crop received light to moderate damage from the freezes in November.
Damaged cane was removed by topping lower.

Texas output of sugarcane for sugar is up 6 percent from last year. Higher
yields more than offset a 1 percent acreage decline. Several harvesting days
were lost due to rain but harvest is slightly over 40 percent completed.
Sugar content is up from last year.

- Mes:


Arizona's all orange forecast, which was carried forward from October 1, at
2.10 million boxes, is 20 percent greater than last season.

The Texas all orange forecast is 80,000 boxes, down 16 percent from October 1.
Expected yields by growers have been lowered since October 1. Texas had no
commercial production last season due to the severe freeze of December 1989.

Changes in U.S. production between December 1 and final production have
averaged 22.8 million boxes over the past 10 years ranging from a Tow

1,68 million boxes in 1982-83 to a high of 53.1 miltion boxes in the

1983-84 season. The large difference between the December 1, 1983, forecast
and the final production for the 1983-84 season was the result of the December
1983 freeze losses to the Florida and Texas crops.

Florida Frozen Concentrated Juice Yield: The 1991-92 forecast of all Frozen

Concentrated Orange Juice for
Florida is 1.50 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix. The forecast is
projected to estimate the final yield as reported by the Florida Citrus
Processors Association. The final 1990-91 yield for all fruit used in FCOJ
was 1.45 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix.

Grapefruit: The 1991-92 U.S. grapefruit crop is forecast at 2.00 million

tons, unchanged from the November 1 forecast but 5 percent less
than last season. This forecast does not include the California "Other Areas"
crop. Last year, the California "Other Areas" grapefruit crop totaled
150,000 tons (4.50 million boxes). The first forecast for that type of
grapefruit will be made as of April 1, 1992.

Florida's grapefruit forecast is 42.5 million boxes, unchanged from the
October 1 forecast but 6 percent below last season's crop. The Florida white
seedless forecast remains at 20.0 million boxes; colored seedless is unchanged
at 21.0 million boxes; and seedy grapefruit remains at 1.50 million boxes.
Sizes are very good this season and harvest is 22 percent complete.

The California Desert and Arizona forecasts of 3.50 million boxes and
2.30 million boxes, respectively, were carried forward from October 1.

Texas production is forecast at 115,000 boxes, unchanged from previous
estimates. Last year Texas had no commercial production due to the severe
December 1989 freeze.

Tangelos: The Florida tangelo crop production forecast is 2.60 million boxes,
unchanged from October I but down 2 percent from last season.
Sizes and quality are good. Harvest is 29 percent complete.

Tangerines: The U.S. all tangerine forecast is 201,000 tons, down 2 percent
from October 1 but 23 percent above the 1990-91 crop. This
forecast includes the Dancy, Robinson, Honey, and Sunburst varieties of
tangerines in Florida as well as production of California and Arizona
tangerines. The Florida forecast is 2.50 million boxes, 4 percent less than
the October forecast but 28 percent more than the 1990-91 season. Harvest of
the early varieties is nearing completion and total utilization is less than

anticipated. Quality remains good with Florida tangerines and harvest is
28 percent complete. The California and Arizona forecasts were carried
forward from October 1.

Temples: Florida's temple forecast remains unchanged from October 1, at
2.60 million boxes. If realized, this season's production would be
4 percent above last year's crop. Harvest has not begun.

Florida Citrus: Groves, trees, and fruit are in good condition. Rainfall was

generally below average for November; however, these dry
conditions were offset through regular use of irrigation. Tree growth slowed
in all areas. On-tree fruit color is good. Fruit droppage has not been a
problem so far this season. Early orange harvest increased rapidly during
November as many processing plants opened. Movement of both white and colored
grapefruit continued to be active with most of the volume coming from the
lower East Coast. There was strong movement of early tangerines, K-Early
citrus fruit, and tangelas for fresh use during the month.

Texas Citrus: Harvest in the Valley continued with slight delays from weather

conditions during November. Quality remained fair to good.
Bird damage continued to be high. The season should be over within the next
two months. Trees remained in good condition.

California Fruits and Nuts: Post-harvest fieldwork in orchards and vineyards
was active during November. The harvest of
apples continued through the month. Picking of olives, persimmons,
pomegranates, dates, and kiwifruit progressed and neared completion by month's
end. Avocado harvest remained active. Late walnut and pecan harvest
continued. Desert grapefruit and tangerine picking was active. Navel orange
harvest gained momentum in the Central Valley as maturity levels improved.

Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is estimated at

30.8 million tons. This level is 9 percent more than last year
but 1 percent less than the November 1 forecast. The increase from a year
earlier is primarily due to a larger Louisiana crop.

The 1991 crop of sugarcane for sugar, of 29.4 million tons, is 11 percent
larger output than a year ago. The area harvested totaled 848,000 acres,

17 percent more than a year earlier. However, the average yield per acre of
34.6 tons is down 1.8 tons from a year earlier.

Florida's production of sugarcane for sugar, at 14.7 million tons, fell

1 percent from 1990. Acreage increased but the yield dropped. There has been
no major weather damage at this time. All mills are open with growers
actively harvesting and planting cane.

Hawaiian sugar production is estimated at 6.08 million tons, 7 percent less
than last year. Acreage decreased 6 percent and the yield is 1.0 ton Tower.

Louisiana sugarcane production for sugar is expected to total 7.61 million
tons, up 83 percent from the 4.15 million tons produced last year. The

Crop Production
December 1991


Ginnings totaled 13,275,100 running bales ginned prior to December 1, compared
with 12,428,045 running bales for the same date last year and
10,352,900 running bales in 1989.

Cottonseed: Production for 1991, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio,
is expected to total 6.94 million tons, up 16 percent from the
1990 production of 5.97 million tons.

Burley Tobacco: U.S. burley tobacco production is forecast at 655 million
pounds, 10 percent above a year ago and fractionally above

the November 1 forecast. The increase from last year came from a greater

acreage which was moderated by lower yields. Area harvested is up 14 percent

from a year earlier. Yield is expected to average 2,117 pounds per acre,

87 pounds Jess than in 1990.

Burley auction markets opened November 25. Gross sales for the first
seven sale days totaled 239 million pounds compared with 253 million pounds
for the first seven days a year ago.

Papayas: Fresh papaya production from Hawaii is estimated at 4.64 million

pounds for November, 11 percent lower than October and 16 percent
lower than November 1990. Year-to-date fresh sales trail the same 1]-month
period of 1990 by 21] percent. Weather conditions were mostly favorable for
papaya production during November. Mostly sunny conditions with light showers
prevailed much of the month.

Area devoted toward papaya production totaled 3,975 acres in November,

1 percent higher than the previous month and 10 percent higher than a year
ago. Harvested area, totaling 2,095 acres, was 2 percent higher than October
but 13 percent lower than last November.

Dry Edible Beans: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at a record
high 33.0 million cwt for 1991, up 2 percent from a year
earlier and 39 percent above two years ago. The 1991 crop is 1 percent above
the previous record high set in 1981. Area for harvest is estimated at
1.86 million acres, down 11 percent from 1990 but 13 percent above 1989. The
average yield is also a record high, at 1,770 pounds per acre, up 217 pounds
from last year and 333 pounds above two years ago. Bumper crops were
harvested in the North Central States where Minnesota and North Dakota
produced their largest crops ever. Record high yields were taken in Michigan,
Minnesota, and California. Most of the other States also came in with better
yields than last year. New York, the major exception, was hurt severely as
drought cut yields by more than 300 pounds per acre. Yields were also off
slightly in Nebraska's Panhandle, and in nearby Wyoming and Kansas.

Navy bean production jumped 20 percent from a year earlier resulting from
record high yields in Michigan and North Dakota. Both lima bean classes
achieved record high yields in 1991. Production of baby limas jumped

71 percent, while large lima beans gained 29 percent. Production gains were
also registered in smal] red, small white, cranberry, dark red kidney, and
blackeye classes. Great northern bean output diminished 9 percent from last
year but was 21 percent above the poor 1989 crop. Pinto bean production was

e Statistics
Production Service
United States
Department of
Agriculture

Washington, D.C.

Released on December 11, 1991, by the Agricultural Statistics Board.
Forecasts refer to December 1, 1991.

Cotton Production Down 1 Percent

All Cotton production for 1991 is forecast at 18.0 million bales, down

1 percent from November 1 but up 16 percent from 1990. Freezing weather in
Texas during Tate October and early November damaged large bolls that were not
completely open, reducing yields. Louisiana's production is a record high and
Georgia's yield is a record high.

Orange production is forecast at 8.45 million tons, up 3 percent from October
1 and 7 percent above last season. The increase from last season is primarily
attributed to the recovery of California's crop from last year's freeze.

Grapefruit production, including California's Desert grapefruit but excluding
California's "Other Areas," is 2.00 million tons, unchanged from the
November 1 forecast but down 5 percent from last season. The decrease is
mainly due to reducd production in Florida.

Burley Tobacco production is forecast at 655 million pounds, 10 percent above
1990 and fractionally above the November 1 forecast.

Dry Edible Bean production reached a record high 33.0 million cwt, up

2 percent from last year and 39 percent above two years ago. Bumper crops in
the North Central States placed the total 1 percent above the previous record
high set in 1981.

Index and report features are located at the end of this report. For
information call (202) 720-2127. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET.

progress had advanced to 75% complete by the end of the month, 5 percentage
points behind last year but 1 point ahead of the average.

Winter Wheat Seedings: A major winter storm brought snow and record cold

temperatures to the wheat producing area from the
Great Basin to the northern Plains in early November. Fortunately, seeding
was complete or nearly so in most of the northerly States and emergence had
occurred on most of the acreage. Seeding was in the early stages in
California and Georgia, in full swing in the South, and was well along in the
Pacific Northwest. Extreme cold slowed crop emergence across the central
States during the first half of November. Crop condition for much of the
acreage in Kansas rated poor or very poor due to extreme drought. Significant
precipitation fell across most of the Nation during the second half of
November, easing concerns over low soil moisture. Seeding was continuing in
California and the Southeast at month's end.

Al} Cotton: The December 1 forecast of all cotton production is 18.0 million
bales, down 1 percent from the November 1 forecast and up

16 percent from last year’s production. Of the total, Upland is expected to

account for 17.6 million bales, while Pima production will be 414,100 bales.

Total area for harvest is estimated at 13.3 million acres, up 14 percent from

1990. Yield is expected to average 648 pounds per acre, 1 pound below

November and up 14 pounds from last year.

Upland cotton production in Texas and Oklahoma is forecast at 5.55 million
bales, 9 percent below November 1 but 4 percent above the 1990 production.
Freezing temperatures in late October damaged large bolls that were not fully
opened, which lowered yield prospects. Cotton harvest made good progress in
the Plains, although hampered during early November by rains and morning dew.
Yields in the Plains were less than expected earlier. By December 1, harvest
was 59 percent complete in Texas, compared with the average of 65 percent.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee)
expect to produce 6.32 million bales, 4 percent above the November 1 forecast
and up 28 percent from 1990. Good harvest weather allowed praducers to
continue fieldwork. Yields are higher than anticipated earlier in Arkansas,
Mississippi, and Missouri. Louisiana's production is a record high level. As
of December 1, the harvest in all of these States was virtually complete.

Production in the Western States (Arizona, California, and New Mexico) is
expected to total 3.43 million bales, up 2 percent from November 1 and down
6 percent from 1990. The yields in this region are expected to average
1,203 pounds per acre, 40 pounds above the 1990 yield.

The forecast in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and
South Carolina) puts production at 2.20 million bales, a 3 percent increase
from last month and 85 percent above the 1990 production. Yields in this
region are expected to average 697 pounds per acre, up 170 pounds from last
year due to the dry conditions that prevailed during 1990. Harvest continued
almost uninterrupted during the month and generally, crop expectations
exceeded early season expectations. Georgia expects a record high yield of
791 pounds.

November Weather Summary: November began and ended with major snowstorms; in

between, cold weather repeatedly covered the
Central States and heavy precipitation fell from the Rockies to the Great
Lakes. Only negligible rain fell in the southern half of California,
heightening fears of a sixth year of drought. Northern Florida and most of
Georgia received below-normal rainfall for the third consecutive month, while
parts of the mid-Atlantic region endured an eighth consecutive drier-than-
normal month. Drought eased markedly in the central Plains, aiding Kansas'
1992 winter wheat crop; in the interior West, boosting snowpack; and in the
central Appalachians, vanquishing the wildfire threat.

Strong storms regularly entered the United States through the Pacific
Northwest, diving into the Rockies before lifting toward the Great Lakes.
November snowfall records were buried in more than half a dozen cities from
Colorado to Michigan, including Colorado Springs, CO (21.7 inches), and La
Crosse, WI (30.3 inches). Monthly snowfall of 46.9 inches in Minneapolis, MN,
was a record for any month, formerly set in January 1982. Along the primary
storm track, November precipitation was quadruple the normal in parts of New
Mexico, Colorado, and the upper Mississippi Valley. Only one Atlantic coastal
storm developed, moving along the mid-Atlantic shoreline on the 9th and

10th, but it aggravated the coastal damage caused by the massive northeaster
only 10 days earlier. Though it was a wet month for much of the country,
California, southern Texas, and the central and southern Atlantic Coast States
were unusually dry.

Temperatures ranged from near norma] to 3 degrees F above normal west of the
Rockies and in the Northeast. But in the Nation's middle third, temperatures
ranged from 2 to 9 degrees F below normal. Frequent arctic outbreaks and snow
cover kept Iowa and Minnesota especially cold.

Row Crop Harvests: Progress of the corn harvest was at or ahead of normal in

all of the major producing States entering November, with
harvest complete in South Dakota and well along in the eastern Corn Belt.
Record cold and snows slowed activity early in the month, but a brief respite
near mid-month allowed for harvest of most fields in the Corn Belt. Harvest
was very near complete by the end of November with activity continuing in only
Missouri, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington. Should the recent
wintery weather continue, some acreage in Iowa and the Great Lakes region may
remain unharvested until spring.

Soybean harvest, although slowed by the inclement weather of early November,
was completed considerably earlier than normal in the northern producing
States. Harvest was complete by mid-November in the North, nearing completion
in the central States, and past the midway point in the Southeast. Harvest
continued between rains in the Southeast through the end of November.

Rains early in the month halted cotton picking in Missouri and slowed harvest
to a near stand-still in Texas and the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys.
Harvest was 57% complete in the 14 major producing States on November 3,
compared with 60% last year and 54% average. Mostly dry weather in the major
producing regions during the first half of November allowed harvest to
progress at a near-normal pace and harvest was nearly complete in the
Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys by mid-month. Second picking was active in
the Delta during the second half of the month, while growers in Arizona, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas continued with the first picking. Harvest

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the December 1 cotton production forecast is
1.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current produc-
tion forecast of 18.0 million bales wil] not be above or below the fina)
estimate by more than 1.9 percent or approximately 342 million bales. Chances
are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not
exceed 3.2 percent or approximately 576 million bales.

Changes between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during the past
10 years have averaged 211,000 bales, ranging from 61,000 to 479,000 bales.
The December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 6 times and above

4 times. This difference does not imply that the December 1 cotton forecast
this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.

Monthly Marketings - United States

U.S. monthly marketing percentages for wheat, oats,
barley, corn, sorghum, soybeans, flaxseed, sunflower,
cotton, and peanuts are based on the 12 months which are
used for the U.S. marketing year. These months are
consistent with the data used to weight U.S. marketing
year average prices. Marketings are based on monthly
probability surveys which obtain quantities of the crop
purchased from producers and price information. Purchases
are not identified by crop production year, but represent
the commodity sold during the 12 months of the marketing
year. Monthly marketings for hay and dry edible beans are
based on estimates derived from State marketing years and
thus may extend over a period exceeding 12 months.

Reliability of December 1 Cotton Production Forecast

Survey Procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted
between November 22 and December 2 to gather information
on expected yield as of December 1. The objective yield survey for cotton was
conducted in the major producing States that normally account for at least
80 percent of the U.S. production. Randomly selected fields and plots within
fields are surveyed each month. The items counted within the selected plots
depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, numbers of
plants are recorded along with other measurements that provide information to
forecast the number of bolls and their weight. The counts are used with
similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The
five-year average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. The
plots are re-visited each month until crop maturity when the fruit are
harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample
field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss.

Some states did a farm operator survey, conducted primarily by telephone with
some use of mail and personal interviewers. These producers were asked
questions about probable or final yield on their acreage.

Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower

reported survey estimates were reviewed for errors,
reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. In addition,
reports from cotton ginners in each state were considered. Each State
Statistical Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the
Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the
State analysis to prepare the published December 1 forecast.

Revision Policy: The December 1 cotton production forecast will not be

revised; instead, a new forecast will be made in January
followed by end-of-season estimates. At the end of the marketing year,
administrative records are reviewed and revisions are made if data
relationships warrant changes. Harvested acres may be revised any time a
production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended
harvested area has changed since the last estimate. For cotton, adjustments
are usually made based on acreage data obtained from ASCS.

Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December

1 production forecasts, the “Root Mean Square Error," a
statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation
between the December 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed
as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of squared percentage
deviations for the 20-year period (1971-1990) is computed; then the square
root of the average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error."
Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the
current forecast relative to the final end-of-season estimate, assuming that
factors affecting this year's forecast are not different from those
influencing recent years.

1 percent short of last year but exceeded the 1989 crop by 44 percent.; Light
red kidney bean production dropped 21 percent from 1990. Pink beans were off
nearly a third, while black turtle soup beans dropped 40 percent.

Pecans: The December 1 production forecast for the U.S. pecan crop is
246 million pounds (in-shell basis), 9 percent less than the October
1 forecast but 20 percent above last year's production.

The Georgia forecast is 80.0 million pounds, down 16 percent from the October
forecast but 23 percent above last season's production. Excessive spring and
summer rain made insects and diseases difficult to control. The lack of rain
late in the season prevented nuts from filling. Alabama's forecast, at

13.0 million pounds, is unchanged from October 1. Quality was only fair due
to problems with scab and aphids. California's forecast of 2.50 million
pounds is down 11 percent from October 1. Excessive heat in October caused
the nuts to shrivel and reduced quality. Florida's crop is forecast at

4.20 million pounds, unchanged from October. Louisiana's forecast is

15.0 million pounds, unchanged from October. As of December 1, the pecan
harvest was 72 percent complete. Mississippi expects to harvest 6.00 million
pounds of pecans, down 14 percent from the October 1 forecast. Lack of
rainfall during the late summer kept nuts from filling. New Mexico pecans are
forecast at 27.0 million pounds, down 7 percent from October. A late spring
freeze reduced yields more than earlier anticipated. Oklahoma's crop is
forecast at 18.0 million pounds, up 20 percent from October. Loss due to
insects and disease was not as bad as expected while nut quality was average
this year. The South Carolina forecast remains unchanged from October 1 at
3.00 million pounds. Nut quality was reduced by scab problems. Texas is
forecasting a crop of 55.0 million pounds, down 15 percent from October.

"Qther States" forecast of 17.7 million pounds is down 3 percent from October
i Arizona, Kansas, Missouri, and Tennessee are included in this production
orecast.

Oranges: U.S. production is forecast at 8.45 million tons, up 3 percent from
October 1 and up 7 percent from last season. The increase is the

October 1 but 10 percent below last season's crop. Production of Florida
early and mid-season varieties also remains unchanged at 80.0 million boxes,

9 percent less than last season. Florida's Valencia production is expected to
total 56.0 million boxes, unchanged from October 1 but down 12 percent from
last season. Fruit sets were unusually low this season due to weather
conditions.

13 percent more than October 1 and 124 percent higher than last year's freeze-
damaged crop. The Navel orange crop is forecast at 32.0 million boxes, a

10 percent increase over October 1] and 103 percent more than last season. The
