WINTER WHEAT: Production is forecast at 2.09 billion bushels as of May 1,

1990. This is up 44 percent from the 1.45 billion bushels pro-
duced in 1989 and, if realized, will be the highest production level since the
record crop of 1981. Area for grain, at 50.8 million acres, is up 23 percent
from last season’s drought and winter kill reduced level. Yield Prospects are
forecast at 41.1 bushels per acre, up 6.0 bushels from last year. This would
be the second highest average on record.

May 1 conditions point to higher yields than last season in most States.
Harvested acreage levels are greater than 1989 in most States.

Harvested area and yields are up strongly in the major Hard Red winter
States. Colorado’s crop is in mostly good condition despite the dry winter.
Spring rains and cool weather have favored crop prospects. The Kansas crop is
in good to excellent condition. Topsoil moisture is adequate to surplus
Crop development is slightly behind average. April rains have improved
Nebraska’s yield prospects. The crop is developing ahead of last year and is
rated in fair to good condition. Russian wheat aphids and cutworm infesta-
tions in the Panhandle, along with chinch bag problems in the Southeast, are
major concerns. Texas yield prospects are very good after a dry winter, as
rainfall has covered the State. Open, dry weather is now needed for the crop
to reach full potential.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BOARD
NASS, USDA


Arizona’s forecast, carried forward from last month, is 2.00 million
boxes, 3 percent above the 1988-89.

The change in U.S. grapefruit production between the May 1 forecast and
final production averaged 860 thousand boxes over the past ten seasons,
ranging from a low of 50 thousand boxes in 1984-85 to a high of 2.15 million
boxes in the 1981-82 season.

TANGERINES: The U.S. May 1 all tangerine forecast of 4.05 million boxes is

the same as last month but 28 percent less than the 1988-89
utilized production. This forecast includes the Dancy, Robinson, Honey, and
Sunburst varieties of tangerines in Florida, as well as production of
California and Arizona tangerines. Florida Sunburst tangerines are included
in the State and U.S. totals beginning with the 1989-90 season. Production
estimates shown for previous seasons do not include this new varietal
angerine.

The Florida forecast is 1.70 million boxes, unchanged from April 1 but 41
percent below 1988-89. Florida harvest is virtually complete. The Arizona
and California forecasts, which were carried forward from last month, are
expected to total 600 thousand and 1.75 million boxes, respectively.

TANGELOS: The Florida Tangelo crop, excluding K-early citrus fruit, is fore-

cast at 2.95 million boxes, unchanged from the previous month, but
22 percent below last season’s utilized production. Harvest is virtually
complete.

TEMPLES: Florida’s Temple forecast of 1.40 million boxes is unchanged from
the previous month, but 63 percent below last season’s utilized
production. Temple harvest is complete.

FLORIDA CITRUS: The majority of this State’s groves and trees are receivin

irrigation due to the dry conditions that have prevailed mos
of 1990. Those trees that were severely affected by the pre-Christmas freeze
have continued to grow slowly with some branches still dying due to freeze
damage. Young tree groves that survived the freeze are generally producing an
abundance of new growth. New crop fruit in the southern and coastal counties
made_good Progress through April. Most other areas have varying crops with
marble to golf ball size fruit. There are a few trees with Tingering bloom in
many locations. Harvest of Valencia oranges averaged about 2.50 million boxes
per week throughout the month. Supplies of these Tate oranges are running low
with the remaining crops Jocated mainly in the southern areas. Grapefruit
harvest was virtually complete by the end of April.

TEXAS CITRUS: Trees planted after the 1983 freeze continued to show the best

recovery following the latest freeze. Older trees are showing
slow recovery, or, in many cases, no recovery at all. Estimates from the
citrus industry indicate significant loss of these older trees. Some bull-
dozing and pruring continued along with some replanting of groves and re-
placing of dead trees. Good rains fell in parts of the Valley during April.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS & NUTS: Normal cultural activities such as pruning, ferti-

lizing, and weed contro] continued throughout April
in orchards and vineyards. Almonds were sizing well and reported in good
condition. Apricot thinning was active. The avocado harvest was steady, and
the new crop was blooming. Cherries completed their bloom during Apri! with
a good set reported. Grape growers’ activities included irrigating, sucker-
ing, and app ying materials to control mildew and weeds. iwifruit began
blooming during the month. Desert grapefruit and Central Valley lemon picking
were completed in April with the Southern California lemon crop approximately
60 percent harvested by month’s end. Navel orange picking was active durin
April with 85 percent of the crop harvested by May 1. Valencia orange harves
gathered momentum. Freeze damage from February’s low temperatures was
reported in some orange lots. New crop citrus was blooming. Nectarine and
peach thinning was active. Stonefruits were treated for brown rot, mildew,
and codling moth. Walnuts were also sprayed for codling moth.

APRIL WEATHER SUMMARY

A series of storm systems developed over the country’s midsection, then
rapidly intensified as they moved eastward. These storms gave abundant
rainfall to the southern Plains and across the northern Delta. Toward the end
of the month, a stagnant weather pattern dampened the Plains and Mississippi
Valley with beneficial rain, but locally torrential amounts inundated portions
of north-central Texas with amounts of over 16 inches. Parts of the central
and northern Plains and Pacific coast remained dry. Most of the Corn Belt and
Southeast also received less than their normal rainfall for the month. Above-
normal rainfalls, however, did relieve extreme drought in southern Florida.
Unseasonably warm conditions continued to prevail over the western third of
the Nation, but much of the Ohio and middle Mississippi Valleys and central
and southern Plains experienced cool weather for much of the month.

APRIL FIELDWORK

Rain and wet field conditions slowed fieldwork in the Delta and central
and southern Great Plains during most of April. Soil moisture was adequate or
adequate to surplus in those areas. The northern Great Plains and Pacific
Northwest were dry during most of April but did receive some beneficial rains
near the end of the month. Soil moisture was short or short to adequate in
the northern Great Plains and most of the West. At the end of April, soil
moisture was adequate in the eastern Corn Belt, but portions of the western
Corn Belt needed rain. In the Southeast and East, soi] moisture was mostl
adequate except in Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, where additiona
moisture was needed.

Corn planting lagged behind normal during April. Rain slowed planting in
the Delta and portions of the Corn Belt during the month. By April 29, plant-
ing was underway in all 17 major producing States and was 21 percent complete,
5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Planting lagged more than 15
points behind normal in Illinois, Kentucky, and Missouri. North Carolina
producers planted one-half of their crop uring the last 2 weeks of April.

‘lanting was nearly complete in Georgia by month’s end.

During April, cotton planting progressed at a near normal pace. Early in
April, planting Jagged behind normal in most of the Delta and Southeast.
About midmonth, fields began squaring in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Pro-
ducers in the Plains area were waiting for warmer soil temperatures before
planting. The last week of April, planting progressed rapidly in Alabama,
California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and the carolinas, Louisiana producers
planted over one-half of their crop during that week. Dry soil conditions
slowed planting in Georgia, while rain and wet field conditions slowed plant-
ing in Arkansas, Missouri, and portions of Texas. By April 29, planting was
31 percent complete, 1 point behind normal in the 14 major producing States.
Plant-ing had not started in Oklahoma.

By April 29, sorghum planting was 18 percent complete, 2 points behind
normal. Janting was underway in 7 of the 12 major producing States. Plant-
ing lagged behind normal in Arkansas and Mississippi but was near or ahead of
normal in the other States.

Rice seeding was 28 percent complete, 24 points behind normal by April
29. Seeding lagged behind normal in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Texas but was
near normal in California and Louisiana.

Soybean planting was underway by mid-April in the Delta and Southeast.
By the end of April, planting had started in portions of the Corn Belt.

At the beginning of April, spring wheat seeding was underway in all five
major producing States. Seeding advanced rapidly during the month and was 54
percent complete by April 29, 9 points ahead of normal. Seeding was 95 per-
cent complete, 32 points ahead of normal in South Dakota. In North Dakota,
seeding was 37 percent complete, 1 point ahead of normal.

Moisture is currently adequate in Montana’s major winter wheat area, but
eastern districts have serious moisture shortages. Topsoil moisture is short
in South Dakota.

Increases in the area expected to be harvested, in the 5 principal Soft

Red Winter States range from up 8 percent in Missouri to up 15 percent in

Arkansas and Illinois. Yield prospects are above last season in Missouri and

ohio. Arkansas and Illinois are both down a bushel and Indiana is down 4
ushels.

Arkansas’ crop rated fair to goad. Indiana winter wheat is in generally
good condition. Late March and early April freezes did damage to some fields
in the southern third of the State. Missouri yield prospects are a record
high. April’s frost damage appears to have been minor. . Wet weather is the
main concern.

Acres for grain are up in the Pacific Northwest and in Michigan. Yields
are higher than last year in Idaho, Michigan and Washington. Oregon’s yield
is lower with the crop condition rated lower than in 1989; dry soils are a big
concern in the eastern growing region. Warm, sunny weather in late April has
improved crop development in Michigan.

DURUM WHEAT: As of May 1, 1990 production in Arizona and California is
forecast at 4.54 and 4.66 million bushels, respectively. Both
levels are down sharply from 1989. ©

Arizona’s crop was in mostly good condition as of April 29; heading was
near completion and 55 percent of the acreage was turning color. Favorable
weather for head filling has contributed to good yield potential in Califor-
nia. Harvest should start by mid-May.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: Hay stocks on farms totaled 27.1 million tons on May 1,

1990. This is 55 percent more than on hand a year ear)-
jer but nearly the same as the holdings on May 1, 1988. The low stocks of a
year ago reflected the small drought reduced crop of 1988 while the 1989 hay
crop was of a more usual size. Disappearance of hay during the December 1,
1989 - May 1, 1990 period totaled 74.1 million tons. This compares with 72.8
million tons during the same period a year earlier.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: The pasture and range feed condition on

May 1, for the 48 contiguous States, was
76 percent, 8 points above May 1 last year but 3 points below the 1979-88
average for the date. Conditions were more favorable than last year in 21
States, less favorable in 22 States, and unchanged in 5 States.

Conditions east of the Mississippi River were poor to fair or good to
excellent with most States in the good to excellent range. On the west coast,
Washington was in the good to excellent range, while California, Idaho,
Nevada, and Oregon were in the poor to fair range.

North Dakota was the only State starting the season in the severe drought
range. This is the lowest reported condition for North Dakota for May 1,
since 1935. Arizona, Nebraska, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Utah reported
pasture and range feed condition in the very poor range.

SPRING POTATOES: Production of spring potatoes is forecast at 23.9 million

cwt, a gain of 15 percent from last year and 19 percent
above 1988. Area for harvest is set at 93.9 thousand acres, up 6 percent from
last year while the average yield of 255 cwt per acre gained 20 cwt.

HIGHLIGHTS

WINTER WHEAT production as of May 1, is forecast at 2.09 billion bushels.

This is up 44 percent from the drought and winter kill reduced crop
roduced in 1989. f realized, this would be the highest production since
981. Yield prospects are forecast at 41.1 bushels per acre, up 6.0 bushels
from 1989. Acreage to be harvested for grain is estimated at 50.8 million
acres, up 23 percent from last year.

CITRUS production as ‘of May 1, is forecast at 10.6 million tons, 3 percent

above last month but 19 percent below the 1988-89 season. This signifi-
cant reduction is due mostly to the severe freezing temperatures in the Flori-
da and Texas citrus belts. This freeze has caused Florida citrus harvest to
be significantly ahead of normal. Florida trees that were severely hurt by
the_pre-Christmas freeze have continued to grow slowly with some branches
still dying due to freeze damage. Texas trees planted after the 1983 freeze
continue to show the best recovery. Older trees are showing slow recovery and
in many cases no recovery at all.

ORANGE Product ion is forecast at 179 million boxes, 4 percent above April 1

but 14 percent below last season. This decline is due mostly to Flori-
da’s 26 percent decrease from the 1988-89 crop. The severe freeze in Flori-
da’s citrus belt during December 24 and 25 further reduced an already short
orange crop. Florida harvest of early and mid-season oranges is complete,
while Valencia harvest is about 85 percent finished. The increase from last
month reflects better than expected salvage operations in Florida and a upward
adjustment to California’s Valencia crop forecast.

ALL GRAPEFRUIT production as of May 1, is forecast at 48.4 million boxes,

_. Virtually unchanged from last month but 30 percent below last season.
This year’s large decline is due to the freezing weather in Florida and Texas
during late December.

SPRING POTATO production is forecast at 23.9 million cwt, up 15 percent from
last year and 2 percent above last month.

ALMOND production is forecast at 640 million pounds, shelled basis, 31 percent

above last year. The California crop is in good to excellent condition.
Excellent nut set is reported for all varieties. However, strong winds in the
Northern Sacramento Valley have caused some nut drop.

TOBACCO: All tobacco production totaled 1.37 billion pounds, nearly the same

as in 1988 but up 15 percent from the 1987 crop. Increased acreage
from a year ago was offset by lower yields.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BOARD

NASS, USDA



SWEET CHERRIES: The first forecast of California sweet cherries is 35.0

thousand tons, 35 percent more than the 1988 and 1989 crops.
The crop is progressing well. Burlat harvest has just started and Bing har-
vest is expected to start in mid-May. Picking could be delayed if the hot
weather continues. Quality has been good.

ALMONDS: The May 1 forecast of the 1990 California almond crop is 640 miilion
pounds shelled basis, 31 percent above last year’s revised crop and
8 percent greater than the 1988 utilized production.

The 1990 California almond crop is_in good to excellent condition. Some
almond orchards are developing ahead of normal due to the early season warm
temperatures. Northern California generally has adequate water supplies while
Southern California will have to depend more on wells. Excellent nut set is
reported for all varieties. However, strong winds in the Northern Sacramento
Valley have caused some nut drop.

FLORIDA AVOCADOS: Total production of Florida avocados for the 1989-90 season

was 33.5 thousand tons, 24 percent greater than the previ-
ous crop year. The average price per ton was $332.00, down 24 percent from
the 1988-89 average price. Bearing acreage was estimated at 10.6 thousand
acres, 3 percent below the previous season’s 10.9 thousand acres.

PAPAYAS: Fresh papaya utilization from Hawaii is estimated at 4.94 million

pounds for April, 2 percent higher than March but 17 percent lower
than April 1989. Cumulative fresh sales for the calendar year to date are
relatively unchanged from the same 4-month period a year ago.

Production area totaled 3,890 acres, virtually unchanged from March but
8 percent lower than last April. Harvested area totaled 2,490 acres, 3 per-
cent lower than the previous month but 6 percent higher than a year ago.
Although area harvested has increased compared to a year ago, a higher per-
centage is in the less productive second year of harvest.

The forecast of fresh-market papaya production has been temporarily
suspended. This action is being taken because of the recent inconsistent
performance of the forecast model. A review of current procedures and further
research will be conducted to determine if the results and predictability of
the model can be improved. The estimate of actual fresh-market utilization
will be continued.

This decision was reached jointly among representatives of the papaya
industry, the Agricultural Statistics Board, and the Hawaiian Agricultural
Statistics Service.

TOBACCO, 1989 REVISED: U.S. production of all tobacco in 1989 totaled 1.37
billion pounds, nearly the same as in 1988, but up 15
Percent from the 1987 crop. Increased acreage from a year ago was offset by
ower yields. Growers harvested 680 thousand acres in 1989, up 7 percent from
a year earlier and 16 percent greater than two years ago. Yields averaged
2,016 pounds per acre, compared with 2,160 last year and 2,028 in 1987. :

FLUE-CURED production is estimated at 808 million pounds, 1 percent less
than a year ago, but 17 percent more than in 1987. Compared with last year,
Tower yields more than offset increased acreage. Yield per acre, at 2,069
pounds, was off 150 pounds from last year’s average and 60 pounds short of
1987. Area harvested was up 7 percent from one year ago and 20 percent
greater than two years earlier.

BURLEY production totaled 483 million pounds in 1989, 1 percent above the
previous year and exceeded the 1987 output by 15 percent. The change from
ast year reflects an acreage increase which was moderated by lower yields.
The 244 thousand acres harvested was 8 percent above 1988 and up 13 percent
from 1987. The 1989 yield per acre averaged 1975 pounds, 133 pounds less than
a year ago, but 33 pounds more than two years earlier.

MAY 1990 A-3 NASS, USDA


Harvest is active in the Southern States and Arizona. California is late
because of February frost problems. Planting in North Carolina was completed
by mid-April, well ahead of last year’s pace. In Texas, harvest in the Rio
Grande Valley is underway with good yields. Rains and cool temperatures
limited crop and field work progress in other Texas areas. California harvest
started May 1 in the Kern District, later than normal. Sizes are small in the
early harvested fields in some areas. Florida growers in the Hastings area
are busy with a good sized and quality crop, although weak chip prices have
slowed progress. Other Florida areas are winding down. South Alabama growers
are digging but the crop is only fair. In Arizona, harvest started about
April Sard and will be general in early May. The North Carolina crop is ahead
of normal progress and well ahead of last year. Growers are looking at a good
crop this year.

ORANGES: The U.S. all orange crop is forecast at 179 million boxes for the

1989-90 season, up 4 percent from the April 1 forecast, but 14 per-
cent below the 1988-89 season. Florida’s crop at 108 million boxes, is up 5
percent from April 1, but 26 percent less than last season. Production of
early and mid-season oranges this season in Florida is 68.1 million boxes.
Harvest is complete. The Florida Valencia forecast, at 40.0 million boxes, is
14 percent greater than last month, but 35 percent below the 1988-89 crop.
Harvest is 85 percent complete.

California’s Navel forecast is a record high 41.0 million boxes,
unchanged from April 1, but 21 percent greater than the 1988-89 crop. As of
May 1, about 92 percent of California’s Navel crop was harvested. Califor-
nia’s Valencia forecast is 27.0 million boxes, 8 percent above last month and
9 percent greater than last season. Harvest is gaining momentum in all dis-
tricts.

The Texas all orange forecast is 1.21 million boxes, unchanged from last
month, but 35 percent below last season. The all orange forecast for Arizona,
which was carried forward from last month, is expected to total 1.90 million
boxes, 12 percent greater than last season’s production.

Changes in U.S. orange production between the May 1 forecast and final
production averaged 3.72 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from
a low of 800 thousand boxes in the 1984-85 season to a high of 8.75 million
boxes in the 1986-87 season. 6

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1989-90 forecast of yield for

all Frozen Concentrated Orange Juice
for Florida is 1.22 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix equivalent, slightly
above last month’s projection of 1.21 gallons per box. The forecast is
projected to estimate the final yield as reported by the Florida Citrus
rocessors Association. The 1988-89 yield for all fruit used in FCOJ was 1.53
gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix.

GRAPEFRUIT: The May 1 U.S. grapefruit forecast, at 48.4 million boxes, is

virtually unchanged from the previous month, but is 30 percent
below last season. The Florida all grapefruit forecast, at 35.7 million
boxes, is 1 percent below last month and 35 percent Jess than last season.
Florida movement of all grapefruit is virtually finished.

The Texas grapefruit forecast, at 2.00 million boxes, is unchanged from
April 1, but 58 percent under last season’s production.

The California “Desert Valley" grapefruit crop forecast, which was
carried forward from April 1, is 3.70 million boxes, 6 percent above the 1988-
89 level. The California "Other Areas” grapefruit crop forecast, also carried
forward from last month, is 5.00 million boxes, up 11 percent from last
season.

RELIABILITY OF MAY 1 WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST

The winter wheat production forecast in this report is based on mail and
objective yield surveys conducted just prior to May 1. The mail surveys pro-
vided information on abandonment to date and condition of the crop which was
used to estimate acres for harvest. Yield estimates are based on counts and
measurements in a probability sample of wheat fields and on the condition of
the crop as reported by farmers. Both surveys are subject to sampling and
non-sampling errors common to al] surveys. This production forecast is also
subject to change due to growing conditions that may affect the crop after
May 1.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the May 1 winter wheat
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviation
between the May 1 production forecast and the final estimate as a percentage
of the final estimate, and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the
1969-1988 twenty-year period; the square root of the average becomes statisti-
cally the "Root Mean Square Error". Probability statements can be made con-
cerning 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 May 1 winter wheat production fore-
cast is 6.8 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current
production forecast of 2.1 billion bushels will not be above or below the
final estimate by more than 6.8 percent or approximately 142 million bushels.
Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will
not exceed 11.8 percent or approximately 247 million bushels. Differences be-
tween the May 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final estimate during
the past 10 years have averaged 73 million bushels, ranging from 11 million to
19] million bushels. The May 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 7
times and above 3 times. This does not imply that the May 1 winter wheat
forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.

Dark FIRE-CURED output, at 28.9 million pounds fell short of the previous
year by 6 percent. Increased acreage was more than offset by reduced yields.
Harvested area, at 15.1 thousand acres, was up 12 percent from last. year. The
average yield per acre of 1915 pounds was down 356 pounds from 1988.

Production of dark AIR-CURED tobacco of 6.53 million pounds was off 13
percent from a year earlier. A 4 percent acreage increase was overshadowed by
a 373 pound per acre decline in the average yield.

ALL CIGAR-TYPE production in 1989, at 25.7 million pounds, was 15 percent
above 1988. Compared with a year earlier, FILLER is 9 percent lower, but
BINDER is up 48 percent and WRAPPER increased 8 percent.

COTTON, 1989 REVISED: Al] cotton production in the United States totaled 12.2

million bales in 1989, 21 percent below the 1988 pro-
duction. This large decrease was due to both a smaller acreage and reduced
yields. Upland cotton production, at 11.5 million bales, was 24 percent below
the 1988 level. American-Pima production totaled 692 thousand bales which was
the largest American-Pima crop on record and more than double the previous
record high 1988 production.

The area planted to al] cotton totaled 10.6 million acres, a 15 percent
decrease from 1988. Harvested area, at 9.5 million acres, was down 20 percent
from 1988. Abandonment during 1989 totaled 16.4 percent compared with 4.5
percent the previous year. Yields averaged 614 pounds per acre, down 5 pounds
from 1988 and down 92 pounds from the record yields realized in 1987.

The 1989 crop was planted later than normal in the Southeast and Delta
States due to excessively wet conditions. In addition, many acres in Texas
either failed or were not planted because of dry conditions. Harvest weather
was generally favorable and allowed for more than one harvest in fields in
many areas. Compared to 1988, producers realized smaller yields in 1989,
except in the Southeast and Western regions where yields were better.

The Bureau of the Census reported 11,883,851 running bales ginned
12,175,288 equivalent 480-pound net weight pales) during the 1989 season.
his compared with 14,984,537 running bales (15,389,963 equivalent 480-pound
net weight bales) ginned in 1988.

The preliminary 1989 marketing year average price received by farmers for
lint is 65.6 cents per Pound, up 9 cents from 1988. The value of lint for the
1989 crop totaled $3.8

COTTONSEED: Cottonseed production in 1989 totaled 4.68 million tons, down

23 percent from 1988. The preliminary 1989 marketing year price
received is $105.00 per ton compared with $118.00 in 1988. Value of cotton-
seed for the 1989 crop totaled $493 million, down 31 percent from the previous
