CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1979 B-15 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


The U.S. corn harvest was only 57 percent complete at the beginning of November, 26 points
behind last year and 17 points later than average. Harvest progress remained well behind that of
previous years through November. Harvest moved rapidly in parts of the Corn Belt and was ahead of
average in the States of Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and Indiana, Late crop development, wet
field conditions and high moisture grain slowed harvest in the Great Lakes States offsetting the
early progress in other areas. At the beginning of November, Minnesota's corn harvest stood at
22 percent, far short of the 91 percent for 1978 and average. Wisconsin harvest reached only 30
percent and Michigan 33 percent; half the progress of recent years in both States. Farmers had to
wait for soils to freeze to provide firm support for harvest machinery in the Great Lakes States.
This restricted harvest activity and by the beginning of ‘December, Wisconsin harvest progress had

only reached 80 percent, Minnesota 84 percent, and Michigan 85 percent. South Dakota also lagged
at 84 percent.

The soybean harvest was well advanced as November began. Combining was over 90 percent com-
plete throughout the north central States, close to the normal progress. Operations in the south
central States stood at 62 percent complete, falling behind 1978's 77 percent but surpassing the
59 percent average. Only the southeastern States had significant acreage to harvest by the end
of November, which is the normal situation.

Grain sorghum harvest reached 82 percent at the beginning of November, falling between last
year's 88 percent and the 79 percent average. Harvest was virtually complete by December 1
Only Colorado producers experienced significant delays, Snow storms temporarily curtailed har-
vesting in Colorado and near the end of November, 20 percent of the acreage was unharvested,

Cotton picking advanced very rapidly from the southern Plains westward, California picking
was much earlier than last year, running far ahead of 1978 throughout the month to reach 94 per-
cent by December 2, The Delta harvest ran late through November but by the end of the month pick-
ing was around 90 percent complete in Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Some gins began shut-
ting down for the season as November drew to a close. Cotton picking in the Southeast lagged
early in November, However, producers were able to make good progress during the month and opera-
tions were almost complete by December 1

WINTER WHEAT SEEDING VIRTUALLY COMPLETE

By December 1, only minor acreages of winter wheat remained for seeding across the southern
part of the Nation. Most of the Great Plains crop was germinated and emerged to good stands ex-
cept some short and uneven stands in central Kansas. Late November subnormal temperatures slowed
wheat growth on the southern Plains. Winter wheat seeding had reached 92 percent complete for
the Nation by the beginning of November, slightly behind last year's 98 percent and the 96 per-
cent average. Soils were dry throughout the Plains as November began but rains improved mois-
ture supplies from Oklahoma to South Dakota as the month progressed. Locally heavy downpours
damaged some Kansas and Oklahoma stands at mid-month. November rains improved wheat grazing pro-
spects on the High Plains of Texas, but to the south there was a continued lack of soil moisture
and grazing prospects were bleak except on irrigated fields. Light snowcover extended from
Colorado into parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, and Montana. Rains improved growing conditions in
parts of the Pacific Northwest.

COTTON: The Nation's cotton crop is forecast at 14.5 million bales (480 pound net weight), down
slightly from last month's forecast but 34 percent more than last year's crop. Upland
production is expected to total 14.4 million bales and American-Pima, 102 thousand bales. Cotton-
seed production, based on a three year average lint-seed ratio, is forecast at 5.66 million tons
(5.14 million metric tons). Favorable weather prevailed across most of the producing belt and
harvest progressed rapidly during November. By December 1, about three-fourths of the cotton was
harvested compared with Tess than 60 percent last year.

In the Southeastern States--Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina--production
is forecast at 630 thousand bales, up 1 percent from last month and 12 percent above 1978. Har-
vest is in the final stages.

PECANS: U.S. production of pecans is forecast at 222 million pounds (101 thousand metric tons),
down 11 percent from both October 1 and last year. The drop is attributed to a decline
of conditions in 6 of the 11 States estimating production.

Harvest in Georgia was over 70 percent complete on December 1 and growers indicated that the
crop yield wag not as high as had been expected. In Texas, harvest is 54 percent complete.
freezing temperatures and high winds have increased droppage. Harvest was delayed because nuts
were late filling. Dry weather during the water and soft dough stage, combined with heavily
loaded trees, has produced a larger than normal percentage of light or hollow nuts. In some
areas, the quality of both improved and native varieties is not as good as originally expected.
More ambers are showing up in the new crop. In Louisiana, the crop is 79 percent harvested and
is not turning out as well as expected earlier. The Oktahoma crop is variable and is about 40
percent harvested. In New Mexico, an early freeze resulted in a higher than usual percentage
of sticktights. Harvest continues under nearly ideal harvest weather.

PAPAYAS: December production of papayas in Hawaii is forecast at 3.35 million pounds (1520
metric tons), a 19 percent decrease from November. This decline follows a winter
seasonal peak in November when the highest monthly output this year was reached with an estimated
production of 4.15 million pounds (1880 metric tons). Production is expected to continue its
downward trend through the next three months. A slight decrease in January is expected to
be followed by a 33 percent drop in February when 2.20 million pounds (1000 metric tons) is
forecast. Production is forecast to reach its lowest level in years in March with 2.10 million
pounds (950 metric tons) forecast

Total area harvested in November decreased from the previous month for the third consecutive

month. The 1885 acres (760 hectares) harvested was a 4 percent drop from October and is 12
percent below last November,

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1979 A-7 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


Growers in the Delta States--Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee--ex-
pect to harvest 2.99 million bales, up 2 percent from both last month's forecast and last year.
Harvest is winding down and gins are beginning to close for the season in many areas, About one-
fourth of the Tennessee crop remained to be harvested on December 1.

Upland production in Texas and Oklahoma is forecast at 6.12 million bales, down 2 percent
from last month's forecast but 48 percent more than produced in 1978. Harvest moved rapidly dur-
ing November and was about two-thirds complete by December 1, well ahead of last year‘s progress.
Harvest stood at 50 percent complete in the Texas High Plains. A large backlog of seed cotton is
being held in ricks and modules as gins are unable to keep pace with harvest.

In the Western States--Arizona, California and New Mexico--Upland production is forecast at
4.69 million bales, up less than 1 percent from the November forecast and 51 percent more than
last year. Harvest progress is one to two weeks ahead of last year. Arizona prospects are un-
changed, but California prospects increased 1 percent from last month. Yield prospects in New
Mexico declined as a result of late October freeze damage.

The Bureau of the Census reports 9,937,312 running bales ginned to December 1, compared with
6,668,221 bales ginned to the same date in 1978 and 11,710,550 in 1977,

RELIABILITY OF DECEMBER 1 COTTON 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.
Some adjustments have been made in harvested acres based on acreage data from ASCS. The objective
yield survey provided small plot observations, counts and measurements in a probability sample.
This survey is subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys.
The forecast is also subject to change as a result of weather during the remainder of the season
and other factors that directly affect final production but cannot be measured currently.

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
estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations
for the 1959-78 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes statistically the
“Root Mean Square Error", Probability statements can be made concerning the expected error in
the current forecast relative to the final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors af-
fecting this year's forecast are not different from those influencing recent years' forecasts.

The "Root Mean Square Error” for the December 1 cotton production forecast is 1.5 percent.
This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast of 14.5 million
bales will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.5 percent or approximately 220
thousand bales. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will
not exceed 2.6 percent or approximately 380 thousand bales.

Differences between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during the 10 year
1969-78 period have averaged 157 thousand bales, ranging from 3 thousand to 338 thousand bales.
The December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 4 times and above 6 times.

BURLEY TOBACCO: Production of burley tobacco is forecast at 479 million pounds (217 thousand
metric tons), down 23 percent from the 1978 crop. Yield per acre is expected to

average 1953 pounds, 446 pounds less than a year earlier and the lowest yield since 1961. Growers

are expressing surprise and disappointment as their crops are weighed in at the warehouses.

Damage from excess moisture and blue mold has exceeded all expectations. Burley tobacco auctions

opened November 19th, Demand for burley has been strong and record high prices are being re-

ceived by growers. Quality has generally been poorer than last year.

‘CROP PRODUCTION, NOVEMBER 1979 8-10 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


TANGERINES: U.S. tangerine production is forecast at 6.45 million boxes (257 thousand metric

tons), a T percent increase from a month ago and 19 percent larger than last season's.
Crop prospects improved in Arizona during November with the crop considered one of the best in
years. California movement is well ahead of last year, with Satsumas being handled now and
picking of Minneolas to begin in January.

TEMPLES: Florida temple production is forecast at 5.40 million boxes (220 thousand metric tons),
unchanged from the October 1 forecast and 15 percent greater than the 1978-79 crop.
Picking will start in late December. Sizes are currently below average.

ORY EDIBLE BEANS: Production of dry edible beans in 1979 is estimated at a record 20.7 million
cwt. (937 thousand metric tons), up 9 percent from 1978 and 24 percent more
than 1977.

Growers planted 1.45 million acres (588 thousand hectares) this year, down 5 percent from
1978. Harvested acres amounted to 1.42 million acres (574 thousand hectares), down 4 percent
from the previous year. Of the major classes, production of Navy pea beans was up 11 percent
from. 1978, Pintos up 7 percent, Great Northern up 7 percent, Red Kidneys down 11 percent, and
Pinks up 17 percent.

Planting in Michigan started in late May and was completed by early July. Some acreage had
to be replanted after flooding early in the season. Michigan growers, in the face of lower
prices, reduced dry bean acreage. However, good growing and harvesting conditions kept yields
high and actually increased total production over last year. Seeding of most varieties in Cali-
fornia was complete by late June with the exception of red kidneys which continued through mid-
July. Favorable growing conditions during the year resulted in higher yields for a)] varieties,
The high temperatures did not adversely affect yields in most areas. Favorable harvesting wea-
ther resulted in good quality for the early harvested fields. Harvest was virtually complete by
early December.

Wet conditions during early spring delayed plantings in Colorado. Warm and dry weather fol-
lowed the initial spring rainfall promoting rapid plant growth, Favorable conditions prevailed
throughout the growing season. Yields in some irrigated fields were slightly less than growers
had earlier anticipated. Dryland yields, mainly in the southwest area, were average to slightly
above average and much better than the yields experienced aver the last few years when drier con-
ditions prevailed,

Planting in North Dakota got off to a slow start but progressed well in late May and early
June. Excessive spring moisture caused some problems with early flooding and later, rust and
mold. However, favorable weather existed late in the season and through harvest resulting in ex-
cellent yields.

In Kansas and Nebraska, planting progressed at a normal pace although the wind-up was delayed
by rain. Beans were replanted as late as early July because of hail losses. Yields were lower
than normal due to hail damage and generally unfavorable growing conditions. Some early harvest-
ing loss occurred in these two States as a result of high winds and rains.

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1979 B-2 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


PASTURE AND RANGE FEED; Pasture and range feed condition for the 37 States reporting on
December 1 was 75 percent, 5 points above a year earlier and 3 points

above the December 1, 1977 condition.

Good to excellent conditions prevailed in the Far West, Nebraska and Colorado, and in a 10
State eastern area bounded on the west by Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, Pastures were gener~
ally rated poor to fair in all other States except North Dakota, Arizona, and Texas where they
rated very poor. Dry conditions in these areas caused pastures to deteriorate. Supplemental feed-
ing continues to increase as forage becomes more limited.

ORANGES: U.S. orange production is forecast at 259 million boxes (10.2 million metric tons), a

1 percent increase from the October 1 prospects and 23 percent greater than the 1978-79
crop. Florida prospects are unchanged from October I at 200 million boxes, 22 percent greater
than last season's crop. Production of early and mid-season varieties in Florida is forecast at
115 million boxes, 26 percent above last season, while Valencia production is placed at 85.0 mil-
lion boxes, a 16 percent increase. Florida's groves are in excellent condition and harvest of
early oranges is increasing rapidly. Fruit size is smaller than desired, but quality is good.

California expects an orange crop of 51.0 million boxes, 4 percent more than on October 1 and
37 percent more than last season. Prospects for Navels increased 8 percent from October 1 to 28.0
million boxes, 35 percent greater than the 1978-79 crop. Picking is in full swing and fruit qual-
ity and sugar content are good. The Valencia crop is forecast at 23.0 million boxes, unchanged
from October 1 and 40 percent above last season. The crop is making good progress and sizing well.

Production in Arizona is forecast at 3.50 million boxes, a 6 percent increase from October
and 21 percent above the 1978-79 crop. Harvest of Navels is at its peak and quality is excellent
despite smaller than normal size.

Texas prospects at 4.00 million boxes are unchanged from October 1 but are 37 percent below
last season, Harvest activity is increasing, although sizing has been slow.

Changes in U.S. production between the December 1 forecast and final production have averaged
9.46 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from 300 thousand boxes in 1977-78 to 31.8
million boxes in 1976-77

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The Florida all orange juice yield for 1979-80 is pro-
jected at 1.28 gallons of 45 degree brix concentrate
per box. The projected yield is down .02 gallon from October 1 and compares to the 1.34 gallons
per box yield from the 1978-79 crop.

GRAPEFRUIT: The U.S. grapefruit crop is forecast at 67.4 million boxes (2.49 million metric

tons}, 1 percent more than last year's crop. Florida expects to harvest 51.0 miJ-
Vion boxes, 2 percent more than last season. Harvest activity is increasing rapidly. The Texas
crop at 6.50 million boxes remains unchanged from last month and is 28 percent Tess than Tast
season. Harvesting is increasing as sugar content rises and shipping of gift fruit gets under-
way. Texas fruit is coloring well, but sizing is slow because of short rainfall. The Arizona
crop is expected to total 2.90 million boxes, a 16 percent improvement over November | prospects
and 29 percent above last season's crop. Production in California is forecast at 7.00 mitlion
boxes, 21 percent greater than last season, but 16 percent below the 1977-78 crop. Movement of
the crop has been limited.

LEMONS:° Production prospects remain at 19.8 million boxes (682 thousand metric tons), the same
level as on November 1] and 2 percent above the 1978-79 crop. Harvest is active in the
Southern California-Arizona area. Quality is excellent.

TANGELOS: The Florida tangelo crop is forecast at 5.00 million boxes (204 thousand metric tons),

unchanged from the October 1 forecast and 19 percent above last season's crop. Weekly
harvest volume is increasing and quality is very good.

NOVEMBER WEATHER SUMMARY

Early in November, a frontal system stagnated in the Southeast and spread heavy rain from the
Tower Mississippi River to the mid-Atlantic States. Again, later in the month, a low center
formed in the Texas Panhandle and moved northeastward to the Great Lakes, spreading rain from the
lower Mississippi River to the New England Coast. Strong northerly winds blowing across the
warmer Great Lakes caused heavy snow in the eastern portions. Monthly average temperatures were
warmer than normal in the eastern third of the Nation and colder in the West.

A vigorous frontal system edged through the eastern U.S. as November began. Rain, showers,
and some thunderstorms moved with the front from the Mississippi River Valley to the East Coast.
Snow fell in the northern Plains and Great Lakes area.

At the beginning of the week of November 5-11, a cold airmass moved into the northern Plains,
and by midweek, had pushed southward into Mexico. A second, somewhat colder system developed and
moved eastward but slowed as it neared the East Coast. Precipitation with the first system was
confined to snow in the Central Plains and Rockies and rainshowers in the Lakes area, Rain, with
snow at higher elevations, covered the Pacific Northwest and continued eastward, As the second
system slowed toward the end of the week, more widespread and heavier rain occurred. The central
and lower sections of the Mississippi River Valley were deluged with more than 3 inches of rain.
The area from Mississippi to the mid-Atlantic States measured over 2 inches. The colder air av-
eraged 12 degrees below normal in the central Plains.

Precipitation was sparse over most of the Nation during the week of November 12-18, but late
in the week, a weather system headed into the Northwest spreading rain, with snow at higher ele-
vations, through most of California and the central and northern Plateau. Elsewhere, the rem-
nants of an earlier weather system spread rain along the Coast from the mid-Atlantic States
through New England. Light rain or snow fell in the Great Lakes area. Average temperatures for
the week in the central and northern Plains and the Southwest were warmer than normal, and the
rest of the Nation was mostly below normal, with areas in the Pacific Northwest and South Central
much below normal.

The third week of November (Nov. 19-25) was another week of heavy rain. An upper air low
pressure system intensified in the Southwest and slowly moved eastward. Warm, moist air from the
Gulf of Mexico moved northward. Blizzard conditions occurred in the Colorado-Wyoming border area
and moved eastward toward the Great Lakes. Heavy rain fell from central Oklahoma into northern
Missouri and from the lower Mississippi River Valley through the Ohio Valley. The Mississippi
Delta was again deluged with 5 or more inches of rain. Temperatures rose sharply in the East.
Weekly averages ranged as much as 15 degrees warmer than normal. All of the area west of the
Plains was cooler than normal.

During the last week of November, a large mass of very cold air dropped southward out of
Canada and centered itself in Idaho. The center remained nearly stationary most of the week but
elongated southeastward. The cold air reached from the Sierras in the West to the East Coast by
the last of the month. Cold northerly winds blowing across the warmer Great Lakes produced snow
squalls south of the Lakes and heavy accumulations of 2 to 3 feet of snow east of the Great Lakes,
More rain fell in the Pacific Northwest as November ended.

ROW CROP HARVEST

Harvests of soybeans and grain sorghum were well advanced at the beginning of November and
moved rapidly to completion by the end of the month; progress kept pace with recent years.
Farmers enjoyed reasonably good harvest conditions except for some snow in the central Plains
which delayed the grain sorghum harvest. Corn harvest lagged in many major producing States; wet
conditions held harvest activities far behind the normal pace in the Great Lakes States. Cotton
picking in the 14 major producing States advanced rapidly in the southern Plains and Southwest but
was behind schedule in the Delta.

7 REVISED.

WHEAT PASTURE: About 14 percent of the winter wheat seeded in the three-State area of Kansas, Oklahoma,
a and Texas had sufficient growth to support grazing on December 1, This is nearly 13
percentage points less than last year. An estimated 7.1 percent of the acreage was being grazed compared
with 12.2 percent last year, and the wheat forage supply rated mostly poor. The survey indicated that
8.1 acres of wheat pasture are needed to carry a 400 pound calf thru the fall grazing season this year
compared with 7.3 acres a year ago.

KANSAS (Western): Available forage was rated mostly poor and only 9 percent of the acreage had sufficient

growth for grazing while 2 percent was being grazed. Earlier dry conditions, late
planting and some replanting resulted in limited growth of wheat. Precipitation received in late November
resulted in soil moisture supplies on December 1 being mostly adequate.

OKLAHOMA (Western): Forage supplies rated mostly poor with 13 percent of the acreage grazeable and 7
percent being pastured. Growth was aided by precipitation received in late November.
More rainfall is needed, along with warm temperatures to improve grazing conditions.

TEXAS (Panhandle and Low Plains}: Wheat pasture supplies rated poor. Only 29 percent of the acreage
would support grazing and 20 percent of the acreage was being grazed.
All areas continue to need moisture. Grazing on irrigated fields is starting,
