MAY WEATHER TURNS WARM AND DRY_IN CORN BELT

Temperatures east of the Rockies averaged warmer than usual during May, allowing Corn Belt
planting of epring crops to catch up and surpass the 1974 and normal pace. Excess rain in the
South delayed spring planting and interrupted early harvest of small grains. Cool weather in
the West generally contributed to a continuation of the cold, late spring.

Record breaking low temperatures occurred in Colorado, Michigan and New England during the
first few days of May. Alamosa, Colo., reached a record 10°, Temperatures during the week
ending the llth averaged well below normal from the Rockies westward and in the Atlantic Coast
States. Most of the Nation was warmer than usual the week ending the 18th. Only the Southern
Gzcat Plains, parts of the Corn Belt, and the central Appalachians were colder than normal. Sharp
contrasts in temperatures set record highs and lows almost daily during the week ending the 25th.
Temperatures in the eastern half of the Country averaged as much ag 180 above normal.

Heavy rain .and some violent weather in the Southeast and Texas occurred in early May.
Locally heavy rains in Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee and northeast Texas produced local flood-
ing, The heaviest precipitation during the week ending the llth occurred in Montana, central
Texas and the Lower Mississippi River States, Three twisters struck Omaha, Nebr. simultaneously
on the 6th resulting in the worst tornado disaster there since an Easter Sunday in 1913. A
fairly open week during the 12th-18th in the North Central States gave Corn Belt farmers a good
boost in planting. Heavy rain fell in western Nebraska and northeast Colorado southeastward to
Louisiana and east and north to New Jersey, Heavy snow fell in the Rockies during the following
week, Lander, Wyoming accumulated 18 in. on the ground despite some melting. Heavy rains of .
2.00 in. or more fell in many parts of the Nation west of the Rockies during the final week of
May. Four inches of snow fell on the 29th at Denver, Colo., the heaviest reported so late in the
season. The mid-South and Southeast got a welcome respite from heavy rains. As of June 1,
water supply prospects for the Western States are average to excellent. Colder than normal
temperatures delayed snow-melt during May.

CORN, SORGHUM AND SOYBEAN PLANTING PROGRESS

Corn planting, off to a slow start on May 1, accelerated in the first full week of May and
moved ahead of both the 1974 and average pace at midmonth. This wae in sharp contrast to 1974
when a rapid start was followed by rain and wet fields which delayed planting, By June 1, 1975,
96 percent of the U. S. corn acreage was in the ground, ahead of the 83 percent of 1974 and the
usual 89 percent. Corn planting in the North Central States was 97 percent finished. Iowa was
completed and Illinois virtually all planted, All North Central States were ahead of last year's
progress and average except Nebraska which equaled the normal pace of 95 percent. Corn planting
in the Southern States was nearly complete.

Soybean planting also movedahead of both the 1974 and average pace at midmonth. The U. S.
crop as of June 1 was 67 percent in the ground, ahead of both the 1974 rate of 42 percent and the
usual 53 percent. North Central States were 80 percent completed, In Illinois, 87 percent was
in, compared with the slow pace of 16 percent in 1974. Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa and
South Dakota were 80 percent or more completed. South Atlantic States were near normal in plant-
ing progress, while South Central States were behind last year and average as a result of wet °
weather in most of these States.

Sorghum planting at 66 percent complete continued ahead of both the 1974 and usual pace. The

Texas crop was 84 percent planted on June 1. Nebraska acreage was 70 percent planted, Progress
in Colorado and Oklahoma lagged with less than 40 percent in the ground.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1975 B-6 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


APRICOTS: The 1975 crop is forecast at 157,900 tons, 69 percent above last year's utilized

production of 93,550 tons and slightly above the 1973 crop of 157,690 tons.
California's crop is placed at 155,000 tons, up 70 percent from the 1974 crop which was ad-
versely affected by wet weather during the bloom period. Harvest will begin late as cool
weather has slowéd fruit development. With favorable weather during bloom, thé Washington crop
forecast is up 25 percent from last year. Estimated production in Utah is down 27 petcent be-
cause of cold weather and poor pollination.

NECTARINES: The 1975 California pectarine crop is forecast at 105,000 tons, 8 percent below the
1974 record crop of 124,500 tons. . Harvest is running about 2 weeks behind the
1974 rate.

PRUNES AND PLUMS: Prune production in California is forecast at 145,000 tons for 1975, up 2
~ percent from last year but 29 percent below the 1973 record crop of 205,000
tons. Fruit set is highly variable.

California's plum crop is forecast at 115,000 tons, down 20 percent from last year's
utilized crop but 19 percent above the 1973 crop. Harvest is about 2 weeks later than normal.
Quality is below normal with many split pits and misshapen fruit.

ALMONDS: The California almond crop is expected to total 145,000 tons in-shell (120 million

pounds of meats), unchanged from last month's forecast but 24 percent below the 1974
record crop of 192,000 tons and 8 percent above 1973, Warn weather during the past month has
aided crop development.

SWEET CHERRIES: Total production in the Western States is forecast at 119,100 tons, compared with

115,650 tons utilized in 1974 and 133,570 tons in 1973. Cherry picking in
California is now in full swing but the harvest is running behind previous years. Harvest of
early varieties is virtually complete. Winds have created some bruising problems with the Bing.
variety. In Colorado, sweet cherries were damaged by frost. Set of sweet cherries in Idaho was
reduced by cool, wet weather but size of fruit is expected to be good. In Montana, the bloom date
was later than last year because of cool, wet weather. Oregon crop prospects are up 7 percent
while the Utah forecast is up 28 percent from last year. The Washington crop is expected to be
11 percent below the 1974 crop; cool, wet weather has delayed normal crop development by 1 to 2
weeks, but normal sizes are expected in all areas.

TART CHERRIES: The Western States tart cherry production is forecast at 12,500 tons, up 37 per—

cent from last year's utilized output but 5 percent below the 1973 crop,
Colorado,.Oregon and California all expect larger crops, Frost damage has been minor and set is
good.

MINT FOR OIL: The peppermint crop is estimated at 64,900 acres for harvest in 1975 compared with
: 61,000 acres in 1974 and 58,700 acres harvested in 1973. Acreage increases are
estimated for Oregon and Indiana, Wisconsin acreage is unchanged while slight reductions are
indicated in Idaho and Washington,

Spearmint growers expect to harvest 27,400 acres this year, up 5 percent from the 26,100
acres harvested in 1974. Acreage harvested in 1973 was 24,900 acres. Larger acreage is expected
in Washington, Wisconsin and Michigan while Idaho and Indiana acreage is unchanged.

A cool, wet spring has delayed development of mint crops in the northwest. Oregon peppermint
is spotty with older fields suffering most from the cold spring. An early frost last fall
damaged mint roots in Michigan and Wisconsin, A cool, wet spring also hindered early growth in
Wisconsin but growing conditions in Indiana and Michigan have been favorable,

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1975 A-10 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


WINTER WHEAT: Based on June 1 conditions, the 1975 winter wheat production is forecast at a

record high 1,619 million bushels, 16 percent above the previous record produced
last year and 27 percent above the 1973 crop. The June 1 crop forecast is nearly the same as last
month's forecast, as declining prospects in the Central and Southern Plains were offset with
improved prospecta in other areas, .

Yield per harvested acre is expected to average 32.0 bushels, up from the relatively low
average of 29.5 bushels for the 1974 crop, but below the 1972 crop average of 33.1 bushels,
Acreage expected to be harvested for grain, at 50.5 million acres, is unchanged from last month
but exceeds the 47,1 million harvested last year by 7 percent.

Prospects for the Nation's 1975 winter wheat crop were generally good on June 1, but harvest
and maturity were lagging behind normal. As May ended, harvest of the crop was behind normal in
the southern Great Plains with about 9 percent of the Texas crop and very little of the Oklahoma
crop harvested. Elsewhere in the Great Plains and the Pacific Northwest, crop maturity was a
week or more behind normal, moisture was adequate, and temperatures were continuing cool, The
eastern wheat States were reporting improved prospects but some armyworm and disease problems.

In Kansas, the leading winter wheat producing State, the crop continued to develop about one
week behind normal, Only 5 percent had reached the turning stage compared to the 10 year average
of 15 percent by June 1. Rain tended to stabilize a deteriorating condition in the western third
of the State and improved prospects in some localities. Dry weather in the north central area

prevailed until late May, causing some firing. Conditions elsewhere remained mostly good with
rainfall so abundant in some areas that lodging was becoming a minor problem.

In Oklahoma, the first wheat was harvested on May 31. The crop prospects did not change
greatly during the month. However on June 6, a storm with high winds, rain and hail inflicted
severe local damage in two major wheat counties in an area north and west of Oklahoma City and
caused minor damage elsewhere. Information used ag a basis for forecasting production for June 1
was collected prior to the storm.

Wheat harvest in Texas was stopped at the end of May by rain but had reached 9 percent by May
26 and was on schedule with last year, Harvest was underway as far north as the Low Plains and is
expected to make rapid progress as fields dry out, Yield prospects declined during the month.

Colorado prospects improved when late May precipitation was received, but the crop is about
one week later than normal, Weed control is necessary in many.areas, Nebraska's wheat crop was
stabilized by recent rains in most areas but thin and spotty stands continue to be plagued with
weed infestations.

Good to excellent conditions were reported in Montana, Stands were good in the major winter
wheat producing areas. In Idaho, the crop is late because of a cold, wet spring, Many fields were
still snow covered and the crop prospects declined during May although adequate moisture is avail—
able, Oregon winter wheat is still later than normal but prospects are improved, Cool weather
has also continued to keep the Washington winter wheat later than normal, but adequate moisture
has improved the situation,

Harvest was underway in California's major producing districts by June 1, where yield prospects
are excellent, The New Mexico crop was fairly good with 95 percent headed and harvest about to get
underway.

Warmer weather across most of the Ohio Valley States has the winter wheat, maturing ahead of
normal and prospects are good in this area, The Tennessee and Kentucky crops are in fair to good
condition and developing ahead of normal but armyworm, rust and other diseases are reducing poten-
tial yield in some areas. Indiana's 1975 wheat crop appears to be disease free in contrast to the
previous two years when disease was very evident,

New York wheat is in good to excellent condition, reflecting very favorable May weather.
Pennsylvania wheat is also in good condition at about the normal stage of development.

Changes in the production forecast between June 1 and harvest have averaged 47 million bushels
for the past decade, ranging from none to 140 million bushels (6 percent of production), In 6 of
the 10 years, the June forecast was above the final by an average of 46 million, once it was the
same, and 3 times it was below an average of 65 million bushels,

SMALL GRAINS

Spring seeding of small grains generally began two to ‘three weeks later than normal in the
major Northern States. Seeding during May was rapid and nearing completion by the end of the
month. Oat seeding in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio began early and was completed ahead of normal.

ALL SPRING WHEAT

Seeding of 1975 crop spring wheat continued to lag normal progress throughout May, due large-
ly to the late spring start. Topsoil moisture in ‘the major spring wheat producting areas was
generally adequate at the end of May, but ranged from short to surplus.

In North Dakota, about 75 percent of the durum and slightly more than 75 percent of the hard
red spring wheat crop was in the ground, ahead of the 1974 pace but slightly behind average.
Excellent planting progress occurred during May as virtually no grain was planted before May 6.
Because seeding was two and a half weeks late, emergence was behind normal on June 1.

South Dakota spring wheat seeding was well behind normal during May, but was essentially
complete by the end of the month. Development and stands were generally good. Dry conditions
exist in some southern areas.

Despite a late start, seeding of the 1975 spring wheat acreage in Minnesota was rapid. About
the only exception was the southern part of the Red River Valley where wet soils and frequent
showers continued to interrupt and delay fieldwork. Seeding of spring wheat was virtually com-
plete by June 1.

Cool, rainy weather delayed seeding of spring wheat in Montana throughout much of May, but.
by June 1 farmers had the normal 80 percent of the crop seeded. Growth and condition of emerged
spring wheat ranged from fair to good. Topsoil moisture 1s generally adequate.

In Washington and Oregon, spring wheat seeding is virtually complete. Some Oregon spring
wheat received freeze damage late in the month.

COTTON, TOBACCO, AND PEANUTS

Excessive rain in most growing areas delayed cotton plantings and progress remained far be-
hind schedule through mid-May, Favorable weather during the latter part of May allowed rapid
planting progress in most areas, but wet fields interrupted fieldwork in Oklahoma and Texas. On
June 1, the western crop was virtually all planted and growing well although later than normal
due to cool weather. Planting in the 11 major Southern States was 83 percent complete by June 1,
4 percent behind 1974 and 5 percent below normal, Planting in Texas reached 79 percent, the same
as 1974 but 3 percent below normal. Oklahoma's 31 percent was far behind last year's 80 percent
pace and the 58 percent average. Replanting on the High and Low Plains of Texas and Oklahoma
will be needed due to standing water in many fields. Planting was nearing completion in other
Southern States, except Louisiana lagged at 75 percent planted.

Tobacco setting by June 1 was progressing satisfactorily but later than normal due to a
shortage of plants in some localities and rain in Kentucky, North Carolina's flue-cured crop
was 94 percent set, slightly below 1974, and burley was 60 percent transplanted, Rains delayed
setting of the Kentucky burley crop at one-fourth set, well behind 1974's rapid pace of 57
percent. :

Peanut planting was nearly complete on June 1 in the Virginia-North Carolina and Georgia,

Florida, Alabama areas. Progress in the Southwest lagged as Oklahoma had 26 percent planted, 32
points below 1974 and Texas at 45 percent was slightly behind a year earlier.

POTATOES: The final 1975 spring potato crop forecast at 17.6 million ewt. is 3 percent lower

———" than the May 1 forecast and 27 percent below the 24.3 million cwt. produced in 1974.
Yield per acre declined to an average of 219 cwt., down 10 percent from last year's average of
243 ewt.

The California crop is currently forecast at 8.8 million cwt., down 35 percent from the
1974 crop. Several weeks of cold weather during the growing season further reduced yield pros-
pects which accounted for most of the decline in expected production from the May 1 forecast.
Movement from Kern County is currently in good volume and is expected to increase through mid-
June. Harvest in Alabama is approximately 70 percent complete, however the Sand Mountain area
will not begin harvest until late June. The Arizona harvest is just getting underway and is
approximately two weeks later than normal as a result of the cool spring.

Harvest in the Hastings area of Florida was complete the first week of June. Yields were
at record levels for the area. A small acreage in West Florida remains with harvest now getting
underway. Harvest in Louisiana is in full swing while digging in North Carolina is just getting
underway, In the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas harvest is nearing completion while digging
in the Winter Garden and San Antonio areas continues, The Knox-Haskell area will be underway by
mid-June, Excessive rains and some hail have slowed development in that area.

NOTE: Sweetpotato revisions for 1974 planted and harvested acreage, yield and
production are being released in this report. The 1975 estimated acreage planted
and for harvest will be published on June 30 in the June Acreage Report. This is
an earlier release of the above information which had previously been scheduled
for publication in the July 1975 Crop Production report.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: On June 1, the éondition of pasture and range feed was 86 percent for
"the 48 contiguous States. This is 2 points above a year ago and 3
points above the 1964-73 average for this date.

Conditions were mostly good to excellent in the eastern two-thirds of the Nation. A pocket
of severe drought conditions prevailed in the Oklahoma Panhandle extending into southeastern
Colorado and southwestern Kansas. In the western one-third ‘of the country large areas of good
to excellent conditions were interspersed with sizeable areas having poor to fair conditions.

SUGAR CROPS - 1974 REVISED: Production of sugarbeets in 1974 totaled 22.1 million tons, down

10 percent from the previous year and 22 percent below the record
crop of 28.4 million tons in 1972, Output in 1974 is the smallest crop since 1967 when 19.2
million tons were produced. The decline in 1974 production from a year earlier can be attribted
primarily to lower yields.

Sugarcane processed for sugar in 1974 totaled 24.0 million tons, 4 percent less than ‘the
24.9 million ton crop of 1973 and 12 percent below record high output of 27.2 million tons in
1972. Sugarcane utilized for sugar was harvested from 693.7 thousand acres and yielded 34.6
tons per acre. In Florida production of sugarcane for sugar at 7.5 million tons was down 8 per-
cent from 1973. Louisiana's output of 6.6 million tons was virtually unchanged from the previ-
ous year. The Texas crop totaled 0.9 million tons, 45 percent larger than a year earlier.
Hawaiian production at 9.1 million tons was down 6 percent from 1973.

Total sugar production (raw value) is estimated at 5.4 million tons, down 6 percent from
the 1973 output of 5.7 million tons. Sugar (raw value) from cane at 2.5 million tons declined
2 percent from 1973 and sugar (raw value) from beets at 2.9 million tons declined 9 percent from
the previous year.

The 1974 sugarbeet crop was valued at a record $971.0 million (excluding sugar act payments)
compared with $725.7 million in 1973, Value of sugarcane for sugar in Florida, Louisiana, and

Texas totaled a record high $703.4 million up sharply from the 1973 crop valued at $319.5
million.

PEACHES: The 1975 crop is forecast at 2,945 million pounds, 2 percent more than in 1974, The
~~ forecast excluding California's Clingstone peach crop is 1,445 million pounds, up 13
percent from last season's utilized crop.

Production in the nine Southern States is expected to total 415 million pounds, 22 percent
more than last year's utilized crop and 10 percent below 1973. South Carolina, the largest pro~
ducing State in this region, now expects a crop of 215 million pounds. Crop prospects are now
10 million pounds below the May 1 forecast as a result of an abnormally heavy May crop, Harvest
4s now accelerating in the South Carolina Sandhill and Coastal areas, In other Southern States
overall prospects remained favorable with harvest of early varieties starting in late May.

In Kentucky crop prospects are good. In Virginia and West Virginia the set was heavy,
requiring considerable thinning. The crop has sized exceptionally well, Winter damage was less
severe than in recent years in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Ohio. Prospects are for a near
normal crop in these States. In Michigan trees suffered some winter bud damage in Berrien County
however in areas farther north little damage occurred. A larger crop than last year is expected
as a result of favorable spring weather, The New Jersey peach crop is expected to be larger than
last year, Growing conditions have been ideal since petal fall and the fruit is sizing well.

In the Western States the crop is generally one to two weeks late due to a cool wet spring
but later weather has been ideal for fruit set and development, In California harvest is underway
with 12 percent fewer freestone peaches expected. The Clingstone crop, forecast at 1,500 million
pounds, is 6 percent below the 1974 utilized crop.

NOTE: A special report on the California Clingstone
peach crop will be released June 23, 1975 at 3:00 P.M. ET,
by the Crop Reporting Board, Statistical Reporting
Service, Washington, D.C, and the California Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service, Sacramento, California, This
special report will be based on the objective measurement
survey now being conducted and all other indicators
available at that time.

BARTLETT PEARS: Total production in California, Oregon and Washington is forecast at 531,000
~~~" tons, up 7 percent from last year’s production and 3 percent above 1973.

California's Bartlett crop is forecast at 315,000 tons, 6 percent above last season's uti-
lized crop and fractionally below 1973 production. The crop is about two weeks behind normal,
but fruit set is good and high quality is expected.

The Oregon Bartlett Pear crop is forecast at 81,000 tons, up 13 percent from the 1974 crop
and 1l percent above the. 1973 utilized crop. Only slight frost damage occured in mid-May, how-
ever recent hot weather is currently of some concern to growers.

In Washington the Bartlett Pear output is forecast at 135,000 tons, 8 percent above last

season's utilized crop and 9 percent greater than in 1973, Trees wintered well, Although the
crop is one to two weeks late, the set in major production areas is generally heavy.
