A cool, wet spring slowed development in parts of the Great Plains and Corn
Belt. As of June 1, only 57 percent of the acreage was headed in the 15 major
Producing States compared with the 5-year average of 70 percent. However,
development was well ahead of normal in Washington.

Harvest began in the South in late May and progressed rapidly in Illinois
and Kansas after slow starts. Kansas harvest was completed earlier than
normal. Montana, Washington and Wyoming harvests were all virtually complete
by early to mid September.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: Growers produced 359 million bushels (9.76 million metric

tons) of spring wheat other than durum in 1983, 35
percent less than the record high set in 1982 and 30 percent less than
production in 1981. . The 1983 crop was the smallest since 1974. Yield
averaged 31.7 bushels per acre, down 2.3 bushels from last year's record
high. Area harvested totaled 11.3 million acres (4.58 million hectares), down
30 percent from the 16.3 million acres (6.59 million hectares) harvested in
1982. Area seeded for 1983 totaled 11.7 million acres (4.75 miltion
hectares), off 29 percent from the 16.6 million acres (6.71 million hectares)
seeded a year earlier.

Seeding of the 1983 spring wheat crop was hampered on by cool, wet
conditions in most of the Dakota's and Minnesota, but seeding was well ahead of
normal in Montana. By June 1, 97 percent of the acreage was planted and 79
percent had emerged--earlier than normal in most major producing States.
These figures compare with the 5-year averages for the date of 91 and 75
percent, respectively. Harvest generally progressed well. Montana's harvest
started early and was essentially complete by mid September. North Dakota's
harvest was 96 percent complete by September 4,

DURUM WHEAT: The 1983 crop is estimated at 73.0 million bushels (1.99 million
~~~ metric tons), down 51 percent from 1982, and the lowest produc-
tion level since the 72.9 million bushels (1.98 million metric tons) set in
1972. Harvested yield averaged 29.3 bushels per acre this year, 5.7 bushels
and 3.0 bushels below the 1982 and 1981 levels.

Area harvested totaled 2.49 million acres (1.01 million hectares). Area
seeded was 2.57 million acres (1.04 million hectares). Both acreage seeded
and harvested were off 41 percent from 1982, and were the smallest acreages
since 1970.

Seeding started rapidly in North Dakota and by late May, 90 percent of the
acres were seeded. This compared with 78 percent normal completion,

The crop rated fair to good through most of season. Some heat stress
occurred in late summer, affecting Montana's main growing area in particular.

Harvest progressed well in most areas and was virtually complete by late
September.

RYE: Production is estimated at 28.2 million bushels (715 thousand metric

tons) in 1983, up 34 percent from last year's 21.0 million bushel (532
thousand metric ton) crop. Growers harvested 923 thousand acres (374 thousand
hectares) this year, 28 percent more than in 1982. Nationally, yields
averaged a record high 30.5 bushels per acre, up 1.4 bushels per acre from
1982.

Cool temperatures last spring slowed crop development and resulted in some
freeze damage in Georgia and South Carolina. Warmer temperatures in June
pushed development progress nearer to normal. Harvesting progressed favorably
and neared completion by Tate August.

RICE: Rice production for 1983 is estimated at 99.7 million hundredweight
(4.52 millfon metric tons), down 35 percent from 1982 and 45 percent
below the 1981 record high production of 183 million hundredweight (8.29
million metric tons). Growers harvested 2.17 million acres (878 thousand
hectares), 34 percent less than the 3.26 million acres (1.32 million hectares)
harvested last year. Yield averaged 4598 pounds per acre, compared with 4708
pounds for 1982.

Long grain rice production was 65.0 million hundredweight (2.95 million
metric tons), 30 percent less than in 1982. Medium grain rice production was
26.6 million hundredweight (1.21 million metric tons) a 48 percent decline,
and short grain production, at 8.11 million hundredweight (368 thousand metric
tons), was 9 percent less than the 1982 crop.

Rice seeding was complete in Texas by late May but trailed the average
elsewhere because of wet conditions. Cool, wet weather slowed development
during May in all States except California. However, warmer weather in early
June improved conditions and stands made good growth. July's hot weather
pushed the maturity of late fields in Texas but development was slowed by cool
nights in California. Rice was in fair to good condition as July ended. By
the first week of August, 29 percent of the rice acreage was headed, compared
with the 43 percent average. Heading was later than normal in all States
during the 1983 season. Hurricane Alicia left rice heavily lodged in Texas
late in August. Combining was 26 percent complete in the major States as the
month ended, 6 percentage points behind normal. Progress of the harvest in
all producing States lagged 1982, but moved to completion at the beginning of
November. California rice, which usually follows a later cycle, was about 90
percent harvested by that date.

SMALL GRAINS, DECEMBER 1983 A-6 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


RYE SEEDINGS: This fall, growers seeded 2.98 million acres (1.21 million

hectares) of rye for all purposes for harvest in 1984. This is
8 percent above the 1983 crop seedings of 2.77 million acres (1.12 million
hectares). Georgia acreage is down 5 percent from 1983. Major rye producing
States in the North Central area (Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and South
Dakota) have increased plantings 22 percent from last year.

Seeding started in late August and progressed smoothly. Some seeding
operations were slowed by dry conditions in late September and early October
but farmers were able to catch up. Most planting was completed by
mid-December. Georgia's seeding was 97 percent complete by December 12. Most
fields have good stands and show above normal growth.

October 1983


QATS: Oats production jn 1983 is estimated at 477 million bushels (6.93 mil-
lion metric tons), 23 percent less than the 1982 crop of 621 million

bushels (9.01 million metric tons) and the second smallest crop since 1882. A
decrease from 1982 in acres harvested for grain and a lower average yield due
to hot, dry weather, resulted in the lower 1983 production. The 9.10 million
acres (3.68 million hectares) harvested for grain is 14 percent below a year
ago and 3 percent below 1981. Yield per harvested acre for grain averaged
52.5 bushels compared with the record high yield of 58.4 bushels a year
earlier. The PIK program for corn resulted in extensive use of oats as a
cover crop on corn ground. Seeded area totaled 20.3 million acres (8.22
million hectares) in 1983 compared with 14.3 million acres (5.77 million
hectares) in 1982. Acres abandoned and used for purposes other than grain
accounted for 55 percent of the planted acres compared with 26 percent of the
1982 crop, and 31 percent in 1981.

Planting was frequently disrupted by rain and wet sofl during the spring.
In two major producing States--South Dakota and Minnesota--development was
slower than normal because of cool, wet weather during the early growing
season. Hot, dry July-August conditions caused lower yields in Northern
Plains.

BARLEY: Barley production in 1983 is estimated at 519 million bushels (11.3

million metric tons), 1 percent below the record high 522 million
bushels (11.4 million metric tons) produced in 1982. Average yield per acre
was 52.4 bushels, down 4.9 bushels from the record high of 57.3 bushels in
1982. Record high yields were recorded in Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada,
New Mexico, Texas and West Virginia.

Area harvested for grain in 1983 totaled 9.90 million acres (4.01 million
hectares), up 9 percent from 1982,

Planting of the 1983 barley crop was delayed in the western States by wet
spring weather. North Dakota, the leading producing State, experienced good
spring weather which allowed the barley crop to be seeded well ahead of
normal. In most States, the crop showed good development until late July when
hot, dry weather reduced yields. The crop was harvested under good conditions
and generally ahead of normal.

ALL WHEAT: Total production of winter, other spring, and durum wheat in 1983
is estimated at 2.43 billion bushels téer0 million metric tons).
This is 14 percent less than last year's record high crop.

There were 61.5 million acres (24.9 million hectares) harvested for grain,
22 percent below the 79.0 million acres (32,0 million hectares) harvested in
1982. Yield per acre averaged a record high 39.4 bushels, up 3.8 bushels from
the previous record high set in 1982.

WINTER WHEAT: Production of the 1983 crop totaled 1.99 billion bushels (54.3

million metric tons) off 6 percent from the record high crop
last year. Growers harvested 47.7 million acres (19.3 million hectares) for
grain, down 18 percent from 1982's level of 58.5 million acres (23.7 million
hectares). Nationally, the record high yield of 41.8 bushels per acre,
eclipsed the previous record high of 36.9 bushels set in 1979. A total of 62.5
million acres (25.3 million hectares) were seeded for the 1983 crop.

Seeding was somewhat delayed through most of the fall of 1982, primarily
because of dry conditions in the southern Plains. However, excess moisture
slowed seeding progress in the Southeast. The crop generally weathered the
winter well,

WINTER WHEAT SEEDINGS: The Nation's farmers seeded 64.9 million acres (26.3
~~ million hectares) of winter wheat this fall for harvest
in 1984, This is a 4 percent increase from the 62.5 million acrés (25.3
million hectares) seeded for 1983, but down 2 percent from the record 66.5
millfon acres (26.9 million hectares) seeded for 1982.

In the Great Plains, Kansas acreage increased 2 percent from 1983, while
Oklahoma and Texas are down 1 and 6 percent, respectively. Nebraska acreage
is up 16 percent; South Dakota's 27 percent. North Dakota acreage jumped 250
percent.

Increases of winter wheat acreage in the Western States averaged 2
percent. Colorado growers decreased seedings, while Arizona and Nevada
maintained 1983 levels.

Growers in the Southeast and East have increased acreages an average of 3
percent from Tast year. Georgia, Mississippi and Tennessee show an aggregate
6 percent rise in acreage;

Acreage seeded is up 9 percent in the East North Central region. Only
Ohio declined from 1983. ArkansaS was unchanged. Minnesota is up 300
percent--the largest percentage rise in the Nation.

Growers experienced early delays in planting of the 1984 crop mainly due
to dry conditions in some parts of the Plains, and late row-crop harvests in
the Southeast. Since then, seeding progressed rapidly. By the week endin
November 27, 1983, planting progress in the 15 major producing States ha
reached 97 percent completion; wheat emerged stood at 91 percent. Both
measures are only a point behind their respective 5-year averages.

Some areas of Texas need moisture. Nebraska crop condition is varied.
Ory soils caused poor germination and spotty stands in parts of the Nebraska
panhandle and southwest areas, while excessive growth is of concern in
southeast Nebraska. But the overall consensus at mid-December is that the
crop is in generally good condition.
