varieties and 10.0 million are seedlings. Some growers are having problems with
green shuck in the Stuart variety. Over three-quarters of the crop was
harvested. Production in Texas remained 60.0 million pounds, SO percent higher
than the previous year. Yields and quality vary across the state with some
producers reporting the best crop ever while others report the worst crop in
years. Several growers reported poor nut filling due to lack of rain during the
filling stage. New Mexico forecasts 30.0 million pounds, equal to October but
25 percent higher than 1994. Harvest was delayed this year due to unusually
warm Weather this fall. A hard freeze did not occur until the end of November.

Oklahoma production, at 20.0 million pounds,’ is unchanged from October. Growers
reported problems with web worm and weevil infestations, as well as harvest loss
from squirrels and crows. With 78 percent of the crop harvested, Louisiana
still expects 14.0 million pounds, 27 percent higher than last year, The
Alabama forecast decreased to 8.00 million pounds, 33 percent lower than
October. Hurricane Opal caused extensive damage to the crop with larger trees
uprooted and limb breakage in those trees left standing. Salvage efforts were
made by some growers to save nuts which were prematurely blown from trees.

California Fruits and Nuts: Pruning nut trees, stone fruit orchards, and grape

vineyards was active throughout November. Wine
grape harvest ended early in the month, while table grape picking extended
through November. Almond, walnut, pistachio, and olive harvests finished by
mid-month. Other crops picked included persimmons, pomegranates, pecans,
avocados, kiwifruit, and Granny Smith apples.

California Citrus: Grapefruit picking in the Desert continued. Good to

excellent quality fruit with good color and smooth texture
was harvested. Good to excellent quality Desert lemons were also picked. Navel
orange harvest gathered momentum after a slow start due to lack of color and
maturity. Old crop Valencia orange picking ended. The new crop is maturing
well. Tangerine movement began with good quality reported. Satsuma harvest was
active with fair to good quality.

Sugarcane: Sugarcane production for U.S. sugar and seed is forecast at

30.7 million tons, down 1 percent from 1994 and virtually unchanged
from November. Area for harvest, at 932,300 acres, was virtually unchanged from
last year. The forecasted yield, at 32.9 tons per acre, is 0.1 ton above last
year's yield.

Early fall rains soaked Florida’s sugarcane region and delayed the start of
sugarcane harvest. Dry weather later in November allowed Florida’s sugarcane
harvest to make good progress with most mills now on schedule. Louisiana
sugarcane harvest was 69 percent complete as of December 4, slightly behind
normal.

Burley stripping in Kentucky neared completion by late November, slightly ahead
of normal. The quality of Kentucky’s stripped tobacco was mostly good to fair.
The 1995 burley crop was transplanted later than normal and experienced cool,
wet weather during the early spring and summer. Blue mold disease was prevalent
in some areas but a mid-summer heat wave combined with dry weather slowed the
spread of the disease. Hot, dry weather in Kentucky at summers-end and early-
fall depleted soil moisture supplies and slowed the crops growth. The mid-
Atlantic States received excessive rain during the summer that promoted spread
of blue mold. Ideal fall harvesting weather was prevalent across the Tobacco
Belt and allowed producers to cure and produce a good quality crop. Over half
of Kentucky’s burley had crossed the auction floor by early December with no
tobacco taken into the pool.

Papayas: Hawaii fresh papaya production is estimated at 3.72 million pounds
for November, 21 percent higher than October but 25 percent lower than
November 1994.

November weather was variable. The beginning of the month experienced rains
hard enough in some areas to push over trees and to strip leaves. For the rest
of the month, winds were generally light, ranging in direction from trades to
southerly, and with increasing humidity. Papaya ringspot virus continued taking
a heavy toll in some orchards. Farmers increased plantings outside the infected
area with harvest beginning in a few orchards.

Area devoted to papaya production is estimated at 3,760 acres, 1 percent more
than October and 18 percent more than last November. Harvested area, pegged at
2,340 acres, was 1 percent lower than last month but 22 percent higher than a
year ago.

Dry Edible Beans: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 31.0 million

cwt for 1995, a gain of 7 percent from a year earlier and
41 percent above two years ago. This estimate is 1 percent larger than the
October 1 forecast and the largest crop since 1991. Area for harvest is
estimated at 1.91 million acres, up 4 percent from 1994 and 18 percent above
1993. The average yield, at 1,626 pounds per acre, jumped 44 pounds from last
year and 275 pounds above 1993.

This year's dry bean crop was late developing in the early season, pushing
harvest progress behind normal. Hard freezes hit the Mountain and Plains States
about September 18-24, killing vines in many fields that were not yet mature.

Up to 8 inches of snow covered fields in Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming, and
Nebraska. Additional acreage losses were suffered since then in Colorado and
Nebraska. Yields were below earlier expectations in Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Montana, and Colorado.

Heavy dry bean crops were produced in Michigan, up 48 percent from last year.
North Dakota up 18 percent, and California expects a 15 percent gain. Idaho and
Wyoming were short of a year ago.

Notable increases in production were registered in navy, great northerns, and
black beans. Blacks were up 59 percent from last year, great northern jumped
32 percent, and navy increased 39 percent. Garbanzo production rose 64 percent,
blackeye gained 44 percent, cranberry increased 39 percent, and large lima
gained 10 percent from a year ago. Lower production estimates are shown for
dark red kidneys, down 36 percent; pink, off 17 percent; and pintos, down

13 percent from last year. Small reds are down 3 percent, while light red
kidneys dropped slightly, and baby limas were off 5 percent. Pintos remain the
largest class with 36 percent the of total dry bean production.

Grapefruit: The December 1 forecast of the 1995-96 U.S. grapefruit crop is
2.80 million tons, down less than 1 percent from last month and
down 4 percent from last season. The forecast for all three types of Florida
grapefruit remain unchanged from October at 54.0 million boxes (2.30 million
tons), down 3 percent from last season but 6 percent above the 1993-94 crop.
Fruit size is at near record average. Fruit quality is good. The Florida white
seedless grapefruit forecast is 24.0 million boxes (1.02 million tons), a
decrease of 7 percent from the 1994-95 crop. The colored seedless forecast is
29.0 million boxes (1.23 million tons), an increase of 1 percent from a year
ago. The seedy grapefruit crop is expected to be 1.00 million boxes
(43,000 tons), 23 percent fewer than last year. A little more than 1.7 million
boxes of white grapefruit were picked and 5.8 million boxes of colored
grapefruit moved during November.

The Texas grapefruit forecast, at 4.40 million boxes (176,000 tons), is down

6 percent from last month and 5 percent from last year. The forecast declined
for the second straight month. Cool temperatures last spring caused large bloom
losses now showing up as less fruit per tree. Harvest experienced some delays
due to rain and some irregular shaped fruit caused lower packout.

Tangelos: The 1995-96 Florida tangelo crop is forecast at 2.70 million boxes
(122,000 tons), up 8 percent from last month but down 14 percent from
last year. Tangelo harvest is just underway with almost 600,000 boxes picked.

Tangerines: The 1995-96 U.S. tangerine crop is forecast at 326,000 tons,

3 percent more than last month and 19 percent more than last year.
The Florida tangerine forecast is 4.30 million boxes (204,000 tons), up
5S percent from the previous forecast. About 1.5 million boxes of early
tangerines have been picked. The Arizona and California tangerine forecasts are
carried forward from October 1.

Temples: The 1995-96 forecast of Florida temple production is 2.20 million
boxes (99,000 tons), unchanged from October but down 14 percent from
last season.

K-Early Citrus: The 1995-96 forecast of Florida K-Early Citrus is 150,000 boxes
(7,000 tons), up 50 percent from the October forecast and up
25 percent from last season. K-early harvest is complete.

Pecans: The December 1 forecast for U.S. pecan production totals 239 million
pounds (in~-shell basis), a decrease of 4 percent from October but

20 percent higher than 1994. Production of improved varieties decreased

1 percent to 156 million pounds and production for native and seedling varieties

declined to 66.9 million pounds. Georgia and Alabama forecasts decreased from

October while all other states remained the same.

Georgia production decreased to 75.0 million pounds, 6 percent below October but
15 percent higher than last year. Of this total, 65.0 million are improved

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.

Muskegon, MI (25.7 inches) and Syracuse, NY (34.2 inches). In addition to
November-record snowfall in Williamsport, PA (13.8 inches), the temperature
averaged 35.7 degrees F (6.1 degrees below normal), their second-lowest value on
record. Temperatures in Washington, DC averaged below normal on 23 consecutive
days before warmth briefly returned on November 27. Farther south, dryness
quietly developed over Peninsular Florida, where monthly totals included a trace
in Key West and 0.65 inches in Melbourne. Elsewhere in the east, heavy early-
to mid-month precipitation vanquished vestiges of drought, and pushed November
totals to 7.28 inches in Portland, ME, 7.40 inches in Atlanta, GA, and

13.27 inches in Pensacola, FL. By November 14, New York City's composite

reservoir holdings increased to 96 percent of normal, up from 70 percent on
October 12.

More than 10 inches of rain fell on parts of western Hawaii early in the month,
causing flooding and boosting the November total to 16.14 inches in Lihue. In
contrast, much of Alaska experienced dry November weather, including a record-
tying least snowfall (0.9 inches) in Anchorage.

General Crop Comments: Harvest of major crops was completed in November,

slightly ahead of normal. The month began with the
first sub-zero temperatures of the 1995 crop year. Harvest progress for row
crops started the month ahead of normal, but wheat emergence was slightly behind
the 5-year average. The cold weather in the Midwest was preceded by heavy rains
that delayed harvest activity. The central and southern Great Plains remained
dry, and the low temperatures slowed wheat development. Snow across the
northern Great Plains provided some protection from the early November low
temperatures for the winter wheat crop.

Favorable weather in early November dried fields and allowed the row crop
harvest to approach completion ahead of normal. In the Eastern States, rain and
snow delayed fieldwork. Dry conditions over the southern Great Plains slowed
winter wheat growth and hindered crop emergence in the middle Mississippi
Valley. Wheat condition declined due to continued dry weather.

By mid-month, cold, rainy weather in the Eastern States saturated fields,
curtailed harvest activity, and delayed small grain seeding. Continued dry
conditions in the Central and Western States slowed wheat seeding. The
persistent dry weather in the central and southern Great Plains lowered wheat
condition. Cotton harvesting was active in the lower Great Plains where a hard-
freeze reduced the need for chemical defoliation.

Later in the month, dry, windy weather hampered small grain emergence in the
Central and Western States. Dry soil conditions and cool weather over most of
the East limited wheat development. Toward the end of November, clear weather
in the Great Lakes region allowed farmers to finish row crop harvest. Wheat
condition improved in the Pacific Northwest due to timely rains, while

persistent dry conditions caused condition to decline in the central Great
Plains.

By the end of November, persistent dry weather and record-high temperatures in
the Western States left small grain fields in critical need of moisture. Small
grain emergence and growth were delayed in the central Great Plains by the
continued dry conditions. Heavy rains flooded fields in the Pacific Northwest.
Mild weather aided the vegetable harvest in Florida and left citrus groves in
need of moisture. Wheat emergence finished November slightly behind the
average. Wheat condition ended the month mostly good to fair, except in the
southern Great Plains, where the continued dry-spell left many fields in serious
need of moisture. Cotton harvesting started November equal to the average and

Cotton Production Down 7 Percent

All cotton production is forecast at 18.2 million bales, down 3 percent from
last month and 7 percent below the 1994 record high. The 1995 crop is the
third largest on record. Production decreased by 250,000 bales from November in
both California and Texas. California prospects continued to decline because of
a cool, wet spring and insects during the year. Yield, at 551 pounds, is the
lowest since 1983. Harvest progressed normally during November, except in North
and South Carolina where intermittent rains slowed progress.

All orange production, expected to be the second largest crop on record, is
forecast at 11.7 million tons, up 1 percent from the November forecast and last
season. Florida production is 204 million boxes (9.18 million tons), an
increase of 1 percent from October but 1 percent below last year. Early and
mid-season varieties are expected to produce a record high 124 million boxes
(5.58 million tons), 2 percent above October and 4 percent above last year. The
Valencia forecast is 80.0 million boxes (3.60 million tons), unchanged from
October but down 7 percent from a year ago. California orange production
forecast, at 66.0 million boxes (2.48 million tons), is carried forward from
October and is 8 percent more than last season. The Navel orange forecast, at
38.0 million boxes (1.43 million tons), is up 9 percent from 35.0 million boxes
last year. The Valencia forecast is 28.0 million boxes {1.05 million tons),

8 percent more than last year.

November Weather Summary: Jet-stream winds arced north of the Nation's

southwestern quadrant, leaving the region dry and
breezy. Farther north, a potent flow of Pacific moisture pummelled the northern
Rockies and Cascades, resulting in two flood episodes and monthly rainfall of up
to 3 feet in the latter mountains. Meanwhile, the East faced two rain- and
severe-weather-laced fronts and a coastal storm prior to mid-month, completing
the recovery from long-term drought.

A few days of early-month warmth in the East soon yielded to a series of strong
cold fronts, borne on northwesterly flow aloft. The nearly month-long cold
spell dropped monthly temperatures 4 to 10 degrees F below normal from the Great
Lakes States into the Southeast. In contrast, ridging aloft helped to produce
temperature departures of +4 to +8 degrees F in many areas west of the
Continental Divide. In the transition zone, gusty, direction-changing winds and
oscillating temperatures further dried topsoils and hampered establishment of
the 1996 winter wheat crop in the central and southern Plains.

After promising early-month showers in eastern Kansas, southeastern Oklahoma,
and central Texas, minimal precipitation fell on the central and southern
Plains. In southern Texas, a mid-month disturbance delivered heavy rain as far
nerth as San Angelo. No measurable rain fell during November in Colorado
Springs, CO, or in Texas at Lubbock and Midland. Less than a tenth of an inch
dampened North Platte, NE (0.08 inches), Wichita, KS (0.08 inches), and
Amarillo, TX (0.06 inches). In Cheyenne, WY, wind gusts reached or exceeded
40 mph on 16 days, peaking at 61 mph on November 11, and the monthly average
wind speed of 15.3 mph was 3.0 mph above normal.

Farther west, Las Vegas, NV notched November records for lack of rain (none;
tied seven other years) and warmth (59.8 degrees F, topping the 1949 record by
0.9 degrees). Similarly, no measurable rain fell in Sacramento, CA, signalling
a record-late wet-season onset, while the temperature averaged 61.6 degrees F,
smashing the 1976 record by 2.4 degrees. Although neighboring Oregon shared in
the record warmth, including an average of 51.1 degrees F (6.1 degrees above
normal) in Salem, conditions became increasingly wet farther north. Astoria's
monthly total of 17.47 inches was a November record at the airport observing
site. Totals were less than one-third of an inch below November records in
Portland, OR (11.25 inches) and Seattle, WA (10.40 inches). Heavy rain and
localized flooding in western Washington before November 10 served as a
precursor to major river flooding on November 29-30. During the more severe
event, flooding extended southward into western Oregon and eastward into the
northern Rockies, but spared most agricultural land east of the Cascades.

Snow was scarce across much of the West, lower Midwest, and Plains but plentiful
in the Great Lakes region and Northeast. The month's most widespread snowfall
accompanied a storm across the Northern States on November 26-28, followed
immediately by a central Appalachians-to-southern New England snow maker.
Earlier in the month, a cold front (November 11-12) and a coastal storm
(November 14-15) dumped locally impressive amounts in the interior Northeast,
including respective totals of 9.9 and 14.8 inches in Binghamton, NY. The
November 11-12 cold front was also responsible for a rash of severe weather in
the East, including damaging straight-line and tornadic winds. In combination
with another vigorous cold front on November 7 that primarily affected the
Southeast, the month's preliminary tornado count reached 80, well above the
average of 32, and the highest November total since 1992.

During the month, less than an inch of snow blanketed Salt Lake City, UT
(0.1 inches), Peoria, IL (0.3 inches), and Topeka, KS (0.7 inches). In
contrast, Great Lake-effect snows enhanced record totals in locations such as

Reliability of December 1 Cotton Production Forecasts

Survey Procedures: Objective yield cotton surveys were conducted to gather

information on expected yield as of December 1 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. At crop maturity, the fruit is harvested and weighed. After the farm
operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain
current year harvesting loss.

Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield 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 analyses 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 at 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 (1974-1993) period 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.

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the December 1 cotton production forecast is
1.8 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production
forecast of 18.2 million bales will not be above or below the final estimate by
more than 1.8 percent or approximately 328,243 thousand bales. Chances are

9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed
3.0 percent or approximately 547,071 million bales.

Changes between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during the past
10 years have averaged 202,000 bales, ranging from 40,000 to 479,000 bales. The
December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 5 times and above 5 times.
The difference does not imply that the December 1 cotton forecast this year is
likely to understate or overstate final production.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield for the 1995-96 season is
forecast at 1.50 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, down from 1.54 gallons
per box in October. The forecast projects the final yield as reported by the
Florida Citrus Processors Association. The final 1994-95 yield for all fruit
used in FCOJ was 1.50 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix.

This report was approved on December 12, 1995, by the Secretary of Agriculture
and the National Agricultural Statistics Service's Agricultural Statistics
Board.

finished the month 1 percentage point ahead of normal. Wet weather in early
November slowed cotton harvest activity in the Southeastern States, but dry
weather by month's end allowed harvest activity to near completion.

Cotton: Upland cotton harvested acreage, at 15.7 million acres, is up
19 percent from last year. American-Pima harvested acreage, is
206,000 acres, 24 percent above 1994.

In Texas, favorable weather allowed harvest to proceed at a normal pace,
although snow interrupted operations in the Low Plains the last week of
November. As of December 3, 78 percent of the crop was harvested, 2 percent
ahead of average. Boll weights continued very light. Objective yield records
show Texas with the lowest boll weights of the past eleven years. The Oklahoma
crop suffered during the entire season, beginning with wet fields in the spring.
Hail storms in the summer caused replanting and cool weather in September and
cold weather in October further diminished crop potential.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee)
exceeded normal harvest pace during the month and into early December. All
States except Tennessee were complete. Producers in Tennessee were disappointed
in the turnout of second pickings. Gins indicate more seed cotton than normal
was required to produce a bale. Boll weights in Louisiana and Mississippi rank
eighth since 1985. In Arkansas, they are the second lowest for this same
period.

The Arizona harvest was 90 percent complete in early December, 8 points behind
normal. California, at 95 percent harvested, was 4 percent behind their
average pace. December 1 objective counts show boll weights as their lowest
Since 1985 for Arizona and the eighth lowest in eleven years for California.

In the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina), harvest progress was behind the average pace except in Alabama.
Georgia producers harvested 88 percent of the acreage by December 3, 2 percent
behind normal. South Carolina producers harvested 86 percent of their crop
compared with the S~year average of 7 percent. North Carolina was only

1 percent behind the normal pace of 90 percent. Harvest in the Carolina's was
interrupted by intermittent rain, causing lowered yield and quality.

American-Pima production is forecast at 357,000 bales, up 6 percent from

1994 and unchanged from November. Yields are averaging 832 pounds per acre,
down 142 pounds from last year. Planted and harvested acreage were increased
10,500 acres from the November report. Arizona's crop is 90 percent ginned. At
the end of November, 40 percent of the crop was rated as very poor to poor. In
California, harvest progress was excellent during November with no measurable
precipitation. Some late maturing fields will receive a second picking.

All cotton ginned totaled 14,164,250 running bales prior to December 1, compared
with 15,587,300 running bales ginned to the same date last year and
13,244,150 running bales in 1993.

Burley Tobacco: U.S. burley tobacco production for 1995 is forecast at

499 million pounds, down 19 percent from 1994, but up 2 percent
from the November. Burley yields for 1995 are estimated to average
2,023 pounds per acre, 277 pounds below the average for 1994. Burley tobacco
growers expect to harvest 246,600 acres, 7 percent below last year. Kentucky,
with 66 percent of the 1995 burley area to be harvested, is 7 percent below a
year ago.
