NOVEMBER WEATHER SUMMARY

Dry conditions prevailed from the central and southern Pacific coast to
the middle Mississippi Valley. No precipitation fell over most of the hard
red winter wheat area. Kansas City, MO recorded the driest November ever with
only a trace of rain. In contrast, heavy rain inundated the central Gulf
coast as New Orleans, IA, had their wettest November on record with 19.81
inches of which 13 inches fell from one storm early in the month. Near to
above normal precipitation covered most of the northern tier of States as
heavy snow blanketed the Great Lakes. The 47 inches at Sault Ste Marie, MI
was their heaviest November snowfall. Unseasonable mild conditions covered the
West and South during the month while frequent blasts of arctic air kept the
upper Mississippi Valley to New England abnormally cold. At mid month, a
strong cold front produced severe weather in the South and East followed by

a Thanksgiving Day storm which brought early season snow to the middle
Atlantic Coast States. Tropical Storm Karen drenched western Cuba with
torrential rain at month's end.

ROW CROP HARVEST

Harvest was nearly complete in the central and northern Great Plains early
in November. Harvest progressed rapidly during the month in the Delta and
Southeast. Rain slowed harvest in the eastern Corn Belt periodically during
the month. By the end of November, harvest progress was ahead of normal in
most areas.

Corn harvest was 88% complete, 10 points ahead of normal by November 5.
Harvest was ahead of normal except in the eastern Corn Belt. By mid-month,
harvest was complete except in the eastern Corn Belt. Rain and snow slowed
harvest in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. Harvest was 88% complete, 2
points ahead of normal in Ohio by November 26. Harvest continued in Indiana
and Pennsylvania.

By November 5, soybean harvest was 87% complete, 11 points ahead of.
normal. Harvest was complete in Minnesota and South Dakota and nearly
complete in Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, and Nebraska. By mid-month, harvest was
nearly complete except in the Southeast. Rain slowed harvest in the eastern
Corn Belt and the Delta during November. By November 26, harvest was 97%
complete, 5 points ahead of normal.

Cotton harvest made rapid progress in November. On November 5, harvest
was 55% complete, 5 points ahead of normal. By November 26, harvest was 86%
complete, 17 points ahead of normal. Harvest lagged behind normal in the
Southeast early in the month but by the end of November, harvest was near or
ahead of normal in all the major producing States. In Texas, freezing
temperatures damaged late maturing fields in the Plains area early in the
month. By the end of November, harvest was 31 points ahead of normal in Texas
and 40 points ahead in Oklahoma. The third week of November, freezing
temperatures damaged late cotton in Georgia.

WINTER WHEAT PLANTING

At the beginning of November, planting was nearly complete except in
California and the Southeast. Planting was 93% complete, 4 points ahead of
normal on November 5. Crop condition was good to fair with 83% of the acres
emerged. Rain was needed in the Great Plains to promote growth and emergence.
By mid-November, winter wheat was mostly, fair to good with 92% of the acres
emerged, 4 points ahead of normal. Continued ary weather combined with high
winds lowered crop condition in the Great Plains. Producers in the central
and southern Great Plains limited grazing on winter wheat because of poor

root development. Dry weather prevailed in the Great Plains through
the end of the month. In Texas, rain did improve crop condition in the
Blacklands and central area late in November but the Plains area remained dry.
Crop condition was good to fair in the Corn Belt during the month.

CROP PRODUCTION AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BOARD

DECEMBER 1989 A-21 NASS, USDA



The Georgia forecast is 80.0 million pounds, 16 percent less than the
October 1 forecast and 27 percent below the previous year's production.
Harvest was about 80 percent complete by the beginning of December, several
days ahead of average. Growers complained of dropping quality during the
month due to stink bugs, earlier disease infestations and above normal
temperatures the first half of the month combined with showers the last half
of the month. Shellers are reporting many empty and light weight nuts.
Alabama’s forecast of 16.0 million pounds is 60 percent above the low 1988
crop. Quality is reported poor. Louisiana's forecast is 13.0 million pounds,
41 percent below the 1988 production. Several factors including late spring
freezes, excessive rain, drought stress and fungus contributed to a smaller
production for this year's crop. The Mississippi crop is placed at 7.50
million pounds, 25 percent below last year. New Mexico pecans are forecast
at 27.0 million pounds, 4 percent above last season. Harvest is in full swing
in New Mexico, with excellent harvest conditions prevailing statewide. Many
orchards have finished harvest early. Quality has been reported to be very
goed. Oklahoma's crop is forecast at 5.00 million pounds, an 89 percent
decrease from last year's large crop. Quality is poor. Texas is forecasting
45.0 million pounds, down 25 percent from 1988 production. Harvest was over
half complete by December 2. ‘The crop varied widely across the State. A
combination of a late freeze in the spring, and hot, dry weather during the
summer affected the crop in many areas.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii Fresh papaya production is forecast at 3.40 million pounds

for December, 42 percent lower than December 1988. Output for the
first quarter of next year is anticipated to be lower than the comparable
quarter of 1989. January output is forecast at 3.60 million pounds’ followed
by a dip in February to 2.80 million pounds. March production is expected to
rise to 4.30 million pounds.

Fresh utilization is estimated at 6.54 million pounds for November, 12
percent higher than October and 15 percent higher than November 1988. ‘The
higher than expected November output is being attributed to favorable weather
conditions. Year-to-date fresh sales were 16 percent higher than the same 11-
month period of 1988. November weather conditions over major producing
orchards were favorable for papaya production. Rainfall was less than normal
which kept disease incidence down. Temperatures were higher than normal which
accelerated fruit ripening.

Production area totaled 4025 acres for November, virtually unchanged from
October but 14 percent lower than November 1988. Harvested area for November
totaled 2750 acres, up 3 percent from October and 14 percent more than
November 1988.

ORANGES: U.S. production is forecast at 194 million boxes, unchanged from

the October 1 forecast but 6 percent below last season. The
forecast of all oranges in Florida is 130 million boxes, unchanged from
Octeber 1 but 11 percent less than last season's crop and 6 percent below
1987-88. The forecast for early and mid-season varieties in Florida is 72.0
million boxes, 16 percent less than last season and 8 percent below the 1987-
88 crop. Harvest of Florida early and mid-season oranges is about 7 percent
complete. The Valencia forecast, at 58.0 million boxes, is 5 percent less
than last season and 3 percent below the 1987-88 crop.

UNITED STATES:

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

The cotton production forecast in this report is based primarily on an
objective yield survey made during the last week in November and reports from
cotton ginners as of December 1. Same adjustments have been made in harvested
acres based on acreage data from ASCS. The objective yield survey provided
small plot observations, counts and measurements based on a probability
sample. This survey is subject to sampling and non-sampling errors that are
common to all surveys. The forecast is also subject to change due to future
weather effects and other factors that cannot be measured currently but
directly affect production.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December 1 cotton
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviations
between the December 1 production forecasts and the final estimtes as a
percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations
for the 1969-88 twenty-year period; the square root of this 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 12.1 million bales will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 1.8 percent or approximately 218 thousand
bales. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 3.2 percent or approximately 387 thousand bales.

Differences between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during
the past 10 years have averaged 218 thousand bales, ranging from 61 thousand
to 479 thousand bales. The December 1 forecast has been below the final
estimate 6 times and above 4 times,

ALL COTTON: The December 1 forecast of all cotton production is 12.1 million

bales, down 22 percent from last year's production, and virtually

from the November 1 forecast. Of the total, Upland is expected to

account for 11.4 million bales while Pima production will be a record high 654

thousand bales. Total area for harvest is estimated at 9.53 million acres,

down 20 percent from 1988. Yield is expected to average 608 pounds per acre,
11 pounds below last year but up 1 pound from November 1.

_ Upland cotton production in Texas and Oklahoma is forecast at 2.99 million

bales, 46 percent below 1988 and 4 percent less than November 1. In both
States, a late October freeze caused more damage to the crop than earlier
expected. Cotton harvest made good progress in the Plains and could be
completed ahead of normal due to favorable weather. By December 3, harvest
was 89 percent camplete in Texas, Compared with 75 percent last year, and the
average of 60 percent.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and
Tennessee) expect to produce 4.02 million bales, down 15 percent from last
year but up 5 percent from November 1. Good harvest weather allowed producers
to continue field work. Yields are higher than earlier anticipated. As of
December 3, the harvest in Arkansas was 99 percent complete, Mississippi was
98 percent complete and Louisiana had completed the harvest in November.

HIGHLIGHTS

COTTON production as of December 1, is forecast at 12.1 million bales,
down 22 percent from 1988 and virtually unchanged from the November 1
forecast. A 20 percent drop in area for harvest and slightly lower yields,
account for this decrease. The Delta States experienced favorable weather
during harvest and show an increase in production from last month. In Texas,
an October freeze lowered expected yields.

ORANGE production is forecast at 194 million boxes, unchanged from
October 1 but 6 percent below last season. This decline is due mostly to
Florida’s 11 percent decrease from last season. Freezing weather in Florida
during late February killed some of the open bloom and damaged new growth.

GRAPEFRUIT production, including California’s Desert grapefruit but
excluding California’s "Other Areas" crop, is 54.2 million boxes, unchanged
from the November 1 forecast but 17 percent less than last season. This
decline is due mostly to the freezing weather in Florida during late February
which killed some of the open bloom.

BURLEY TOBACCO production is forecast at 543 million pounds, 14 percent
above 1988 but fractionally below the November 1 forecast. Area to be
harvested is up 13 percent from a year earlier and the average yield per acre
is 18 pounds more than in 1988.

DRY BEAN production is estimated at 24.1 million cwt., up 25 percent from
last year but 7 percent short of 1987. Acreage for harvest gained 24 percent
from last year and average yield, at 1,436 pounds per, acre was up | percent.

The California all orange crop forecast, at 61.0 million boxes, is
unchanged from October 1 but 7 percent above last season. The forecast for
Navel oranges is 36.0 million boxes, up 3 percent from October 1 and 6 percent
higher than last season. Harvest of the Navel crop as of December 1 was about
12 percent complete. Fruit quality is good with sizes slightly below average.
California's Valencia forecast of 25.0 million boxes is down 4 percent from
the October 1 forecast but 9 percent above last season's production. The crop
is progressing normally.

is expected to total 1.40 million boxes, 18 percent below last season's
production. The Texas all orange forecast is 1.95 million boxes, unchanged
from October 1 but 5 percent above the 1988-89 utilized production.

season and 18 percent less than the 1987-88 season. The Florida white
seedless grapefruit forecast is 22.5 million boxes, down 19 percent from last
season; colored seedless is 18.5 million boxes, down 22 percent; and seedy
grapefruit at 3.00 million boxes is 10 percent less than 1988-89.

percent from last season. Arizona's grapefruit crop is forecast at 2.10
million boxes, 8 percent above last season. ‘The Texas grapefruit forecast is
4.40 million boxes, down 8 percent from the previous season.

was reported to be excellent in the southern areas.

The forecast in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
and South Carolina) puts production at 1.05 million bales, 3 percent above the
1988 production. Yields in this region are expected to average 600 pounds per
acre, up from the 514 pounds realized last year. Favorable weather with low
humidity late in the season, allowed the top bolls to mature. Harvest
continued almost uninterrupted, and more than one trip through fields was
possible.

Bureau of Census reports, 10,357,313 running bales ginned prior to
November 1, compared with 11,698,470 running bales for the same date last year
and 11,076,360 running bales in 1987.

COTTONSEED: Production for 1989, based on a 3 year average lint-seed ratio,
is expected to total 4.71 million tons, down 22 percent from the
1988 production of 6.06 million tons.

BURLEY TORACCO: U.S. production of burley tobacco is forecast at 543 million

pounds, 14 percent above a year ago, but fractionally below
the November 1 forecast. Yield is expected to average 2127 pounds per acre,
18 pounds more than in 1988. Area expected to be harvested is up 13 percent
from a year earlier.

Burley auction markets opened November 20. Gross sales for the first 7
days totaled 238 million pounds compared with 240 million pounds for the first
7 sale days a year ago.

DRY BEANS: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 24.1 million cut,

up 25 percent from last year, but 7 percent short of the 1987
production. Harvested acreage is set at 1.68 million acres, a gain of 24
percent from a year ago, but 1 percent below 1987. The average yield of 1436
pounds per acre is up 1 percent from last year, but 7 percent below two years
ago.

Most of the production increase from last year came from pinto and navy
beans although neither class produced as much as two years ago. Kidney, pink,
and black turtle soup beans were also up substantially. On the down side were
sharp reductions in great northern and small white. Garbanzo and blackeye
were also lower.

The resurgence in navy bean production came from a very favorable late
summer and fall season in Michigan. Hard frost held off long enough to allow
a very late planted crop to mature. Drought conditions continued in dryland
bean fields of North Central and Western States. The use of irrigation in
Nebraska, Eastern Colorado, and Wyoming was vital to bean production.

PECANS: The December 1 forecast for the pecan crop in the 12 estimating
States is 204 million pounds, in shell basis, 15 percent below the
October 1 forecast and 34 percent less than last year's production.

Arizona tangerines. Florida Sunburst tangerines, beginning this year, are
included in the State and U.S. totals. Production estimates shown for
previous seasons do not include this new varietal tangerine.

TEMPLES: Florida's temple forecast is 3.00 million boxes, 20 percent below
last season's production and 15 percent less than the 1987-88 crop.

FLORIDA CITRUS: This state's groves and trees are in good condition. Rainfall

was less than average in most citrus counties during
November. There was constant and extensive irrigation in all areas. November
was cooler than normal which slowed new growth and helped prepare trees for
the winter season. All early bloom fruit except Valencias are well colored
with advanced maturity. Harvest of Navel and Hamlin oranges increased rapidly
during November as most processing plants were open by the end of the month.
Movement of white and colored grapefruit continued with most of the fruit
coming from the lower east coast and the south central part of the citrus
belt. Harvest of early tangerines was active with most of those going into
the fresh fruit markets. K-early utilization was virtually completed by the
end of the month. Caretakers have been busy banking young trees in cold
locations and placing heaters.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS & NUTS: Post-harvest activities in orchards and vineyards

was active during November. Picking of Granny
Smith apples was completed during the month, while fall avocado harvest
continued. Riverside's Deglet Noor date harvest was nearing completion by .
month's end with excellent yields and quality reported. Table grape Narvest
ended with Emperor and Ruby Seedless, the last varieties packed. Hachiya and
Fuyu persimmons, Wonderful pomegranates, Black Mission figs, and kiwifruit
harvests continued. Olive harvest made good progress. Almond, pistachio, and
walnut harvests were completed by months end, while pecan harvest was active.
Picking of new crop Navel oranges gained momentum while old crop Valencia
harvest neared completion. Desert grapefruit, lemon, and tangerine harvests
progressed with good yields and quality reported.
