CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1981

B-16

CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


In the 14 major cotton producing States, 71 percent of the acreage had been harvested by the
end of November, 9 points behind last year. Progress was behind normal primarily in Missouri,
Oklahoma, and Texas. Other areas were on or ahead of schedule. Stripping progressed rapidly
toward the end of the month in Texas with backlogs reported at some gins. Warm, open weather at
the end of November was favorable for harvest and clean-up operations.

WINTER WHEAT SEEDING VIRTUALLY COMPLETE

Seeding of the 1982 winter wheat crop was virtually finished by December 1. Only minor
acreages remained to be seeded across the southern part of the Nation, and in California where
planting neared the half-way mark. Most of the Great Plains crop was germinated and has emerged
to good stands, except in a few areas of northern Texas where fields had not emerged because of
dry conditions. Soil moisture has been adequate for optimum development, except in parts of the
Southeast where some areas remained dry. The majority of fields in Oklahoma could support
grazing in early November but were too wet to utilize. By the end of November, over one-half of
the acreage was avialable for grazing, but only about one-third was being used because fields
were still] too wet. At the end of the month, cattle were being grazed on 12 percent of the
Kansas acreage, 6 percentage points more than a year ago. However, wet conditions delayed the
use of some fields that could support grazing. In Texas, cattle were being moved onto wheat
pastures. At the end of November, 39 percent of the acreage was being grazed; 58 percent could
support grazing. Montana winter wheat was in fair to good condition with light to no wind
damage evident.

COTTON: Cotton production in the United States is forecast at 15.6 million 480 pound net weight

bales, virtually the same as last month's forecast but 40 percent more than production
in 1980, Upland production is expected to total 15.5 million bales and American-Pima, 93.2
thousand bales.

Growers expect to harvest 13.7 million acres (5.54 million hectares) of Upland cotton and
58.7 thousand acres (23.8 thousand hectares) of American-Pima. Upland yield is forecast at 542
pounds per acre and American-Pima at 762 pounds per acre.

Production in the southeastern States--Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina--
is forecast 823 thousand bales, up 9 percent from last month and 68 percent above Tast year.
Favorable harvest weather continued during November and picking is nearly complete. Yields
turned out better than expected.

In the Delta States--Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee--production is
forecast at 3.42 million bales, virtually unchanged from last month and 61 percent above Vast
year. Harvest is in the final stages and gins are closing for the season.

Upland production in Texas and Oklahoma is forecast at 6.11 million bales, the same as last
month's forecast. A 100 thousand bale decline in Oklahoma was offset by a an equivalent increase
in the Texas forecast. The current year's forecast is 73 percent above the drought shortened
1980 crop. Harvest on the Plains of Texas was delayed as growers waited for a freeze to
defoliate plants. Harvest gained momentum after mid-November and was making good progress by
December 1 when many gins had a backlog of cotton waiting to be ginned. Wet fields slowed
harvest in Oklahoma.

In the Western States--Arizona, California and New Mexico--Upland production is forecast at
5.11 million bales, down ? percent from a month ago but 12 percent above the 1980 crop. Harvest
was almost finished in the San Joaquin Valley by December 1 and was gaining momentum in the
Imperial Valley. Harvest was about one week ahead of last year in Arizona. Most fields are
being picked a second time and very good yields are being realized.

The Bureau of the Census reports 10,157,271 running bales ginned prior to December 1,
compared with 7,840,476 bales ginned to the same date in 1980 and 9,937,248 bales ginned in 1979.

COTTONSEED: Cottonseed production, based on a three year average lint-seed ratio, is forecast
at 6.19 million tons (5.61 million metric tons) compared with 4.47 million tons
(4.06 million metric tons) produced in 1980.

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1982 B-2 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA



ORANGES: U.S. orange production is forecast at nearly 222 million boxes (8.71 million metric
“~~~ tons), 10 percent below last season's crop and 19 percent less than the 1979-80
harvest. The forecast production of al] oranges in Florida is 166 million boxes, unchanged from
October 1 and 4 percent below last season's freeze damaged crop. The production forecast for
early and mid-season varieties in Florida at 93.0 million boxes is 12 percent less than last
season and 21 percent below the 1979-80 crop. Valencia production in Florida is expected to
total 73.0 million boxes, 9 percent more than Jast season but 18 percent below the 1979-80
harvest. Recent cool temperatures have greatly aided natural fruit coloring of early maturing
fruit. Harvest of early oranges is behind the comparable volume moved to date for the past two
years because of small sizes and lagging maturity.

The California orange crop is forecast at 47.0 million boxes, unchanged from the October 1
forecast but 29 percent less than last season. The Navel crop in California continues at 25.0
million boxes, 35 percent less than the record crop of last season. Movement of Navel crop is
well ahead of schedule with all areas now shipping fruit. Color, quality and size of fruit is
very good. However, some exterior insect damage has been reported. The Valencia forecast for
California remains at 22.0 million boxes, 20 percent less than last season. Valencia fruit is
breaking color in the San Juaquin Valley, about a month ahead of normal. Thus, harvest may
start by late March.

The Arizona orange crop is expected to total 2.65 million boxes, 2 percent more than last
season. Navel and sweet orange harvest is underway but not at peak volume yet. Trees and fruit
have responded favorably to cooler weather and rain, and groves are flush with new growth.
Valencias for spring harvest are sizing well. Prospects in Texas have increased 15 percent
since October 1 and the crop is now forecast at 6.20 million boxes, 43 percent above the 1980-81
crop. Harvest of early oranges gained momentum last month. Quality and size of fruit is good.

Changes in U.S. production between the December 1 forecast and final production have
averaged 11.6 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from 300 thousand boxes in
1977-78 to 31.8 million boxes in the freeze damaged season of 1976-77. The freeze that occurred
in Florida during January 1981 was the major cause for the 30.0 million box difference between
the December 1, 1980 forecast and the final estimate of production for the 1980-81 season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1981-82 Florida Frozen Concentrated Juice Yield for

all oranges is projected at 1.42 gallons per box of
42.0 degree brix equivalent. The 1981-82 season F.C.0.J yield forecast compares with the freeze
shortened 1980-81 crop having a final yield of 1.20935 gallons per 90 pound box at 43.4 degree
brix equivalent. The conversion ratio from 43.4 degree to 42.0 degree is 1.03970.

GRAPEFRUIT: The grapefruit crop forecast, excluding California's "other areas" grapefruit, is
now 72.7 million boxes (2.71 million metric tons), 1 percent above last month's

forecast and 13 percent higher than last season's production. The first forecast for
California's “Other areas" grapefruit will be as of April 1. Production for the “Other areas"
crop during the 1980-81 season was 3.80 million boxes. The Florida al} grapefruit forecast at a
record 55.0 million boxes is unchanged from the October 1 forecast and 9 percent higher than the
1980-81 season production. Smaller sizes than normal and lagging maturity have slowed fruit
movement compared with the past two years. The Texas grapefruit forecast is 11.0 million boxes,
up 5 percent from the November 1 forecast and 64 percent higher than the small crop harvested
last season. The Arizona forecast at 2.70 million boxes is the same as last month and 4 percent
below last season. The California "Desert Valleys" grapefruit crop forecast continues at 4.00
million boxes, 6 percent less than the 1980-8] harvest. Picking in this area is behind normal
due to reduced export sales.

LEMONS: Production of lemons in Arizona and California is expected to total 27.6 million boxes

(951 thousand metric tons), unchanged from the November 1 forecast and 13 percent below
the record set last season. Picking is active in Arizona but slow in California's interior and
desert areas. Harvest is gaining momentum. Fruit condition is good in the desert valleys.
Southern coastal area fruit is small and quality poor.

TANGELOS: The Florida tangelo crop is forecast at 5.50 million boxes (225 thousand metric tons),
unchanged from the October 1 forecast but 12 percent more than the 1980-81 crop.
Picking increased during November but harvest is still behind normal.

TANGERINES: U.S. tangerine production is forecast at 5.40 million boxes (210 thousand metric

tons), down 4 percent from the previous forecast and 3 percent less than last
season. Quality is generally good and harvest made good progress during November with strong
demand. Picking is about one-third complete in Florida.

TEMPLES: Florida temple production is forecast at 4.20 million boxes (171 thousand metric
tons), unchanged from the October 1 forecast but 17 percent above last season. As of
December 1, harvest had not started.

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1981 A-7 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


RELIABILITY OF DECEMBER 1 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.
Some adjustments have been made in harvested acres based on acreage data from ASCS. The objec-
tive yield survey provided small plot observations, counts and measurements based on a proba-
bility 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 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
estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations for
the 196]-80 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes statistically the "Root
Mean Square Error”. Probability statements can be made concerning the 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 1.5 percent.
This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast of 15.6 million bales
will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.5 percent or approximately 230 thou-
sand bales. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not
exceed 2.6 percent or approximately 400 thousand bales.

Differences between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during the 10 year
1971-80 perfod have averaged 169 thousand bales, ranging from 3 thousand to 338 thousand bales.
The December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 6 times and above 4 times.

BURLEY TOBACCO: Burley tobacco production is forecast at 720 million pounds (326 thousand metric

tons), 29 percent larger than last year's crop of 558 million pounds (253
thousand metric tons) and up fractionally from last month. This is the second largest crop
produced in the U.S., with the record of 755 million pounds (343 thousand metric tons)
established in 1963. An 18 percent increase in acreage for harvest from last year and a
198-pound per acre increase in yield account for the larger production. Improved yield
prospects from November 1 were reported in North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. Burley tobacco
auctions opened November 23. Marketing has been very active with prices and supply exceeding
last year's level.

PECANS: U.S. Pecan production is forecast at 346 million pounds (157 thousand metric tons), 2

percent more than the October 1 forecast and 89 percent more than last year's drought
reduced crop. Increases in prospects for Oklahoma and Texas more than offset decreases in
Alabama and Mississippi.

In Texas, yields are reported to be generally good. Some nuts have been lost to fall flood-
waters. The quality of nuts has been fair with later harvested nuts showing better quality.
Nuts produced in Arkansas were good quality and production was the highest since 1973.
Mississippi had the second highest production of record but quality was only fair due to
jnadequate moisture to support the heavy set. Weather conditions in Georgia and South Carolina
during the growing season caused nuts to be of varied quality. Hot, dry weather prevented
proper filling of some of the nuts. Georgia was about 75 percent complete in harvesting
compared with a 5-year average of 65 percent. Florida's crop was poor quality due to dry
conditions during the growing season.

PAPAYAS: December production of fresh Hawaijan papayas is forecast at 4.40 million pounds (2000

metric tons), down 11 percent from November and 17 percent below a year ago. An
increase in fresh production to 5.20 million pounds (2360 metric tons) is expected in January.
Fresh production is forecast to decline from the previous month by 4 and 8 percent in February
and March respectively.

November fresh papaya production is estimated at 4.94 million pounds (2240 metric tons), up
1 percent from the previous month and 10 percent more than a year earlier.

Total area in crop for November was 2 percent more than in October. The area harvested, at
2240 acres (910 hectares), increased 1 percent from the previous month.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: Pasture and range feed condition for the 37 States reporting on
December 1 was 78 percent, 15 points more than a year earlier, and 3
points above the December 1, 1979 condition.

Ranges and pastures benefited from scattered rains and snow as they entered winter dormancy
across much of the Nation. Fair to excellent conditions were reported in most areas, except the
Southeast and part of the Northern Plains, where dry conditions earlier in the season resulted
in very poor to fair conditions. Supplemental feeding was necessary in areas with snow cover or
Poor pasture conditions. Mild temperatures across the Southern Plains promoted growth of native
grasses. Movement of livestock onto wheat pastures increased.

WHEAT PASTURE: About 46 percent of the winter wheat seeded in the three-State area of Kansas,

Oktahoma, and Texas had sufficient growth to support grazing on December 1.
This is more than a 31 percentage point increase from last year's drought reduced condition. An
estimated 23.5 percent of the acreage was being grazed compared with 7.5 percent last year. The
wheat forage supply was rated mostly good. The survey indicated that 5.0 acres of wheat pasture
are needed to carry a 400 pound calf thru the fall grazing season this year compared with 8.0
acres a year ago.

KANSAS (WESTERN): On December 1, 38 percent of the fall seeded wheat acreage had sufficient

growth to provide grazing for livestock. This compares with 15 percent last
year and is the highest percentage reported since 1977. Twelve percent of the acreage was being
grazed, compared with 6 percent a year ago. Forage supplies available were rated fair to good.
Anple rainfall improved conditions over much of the State. Wet field conditions interfered with
grazing in central and southern counties, while dry, loose topsoil limited grazing in northwest
counties.

OKLAHOMA (WESTERN): Grazing of wheat pasture was active on 32 percent of the total acreage.

Fifty-two percent of the States's acreage has sufficient growth to support
grazing. The supply of forage available to support grazing is generally good Statewide. Under
the current conditions, 4 acres are needed to carry a 400 pound calf through the winter. Wheat
looks good, but some yellowing due to nitrogen leaching and leaf rust has been reported.

TEXAS (PANHANDLE AND LOW PLAINS): Wheat pastures continued to provide good grazing as mild

temperatures during November helped to promote growth. Fifty
eight percent of the acreage would support grazing and 39 percent of the acreage was being
grazed. Movement of livestock to wheat pastures during the month was active. By month's end,
virtually alt planting was complete. Moisture is now needed to aid in development of later
planted stands.

CROP PRODUCTION, DECEMBER 1981 B-3 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


ORY EDIBLE BEANS: Continued strong export demand encouraged U.S. farmers to their third

straight record output of dry edible beans in 1981. Production totaled 31.8
million hundredweight (1.44 million metric tons), up 20 percent from the previous record high set
in 1980 and 55 percent more than in 1979.

Pinto production jumped 40 percent from 1980 while black turtle soup beans gained 54 percent.
These two classes made up the bulk of a 375 thousand metric ton contract to Mexico. Bad harvest
weather in Michigan cut U.S. navy bean production by 5 percent from 1980 and more than offset
good navy bean crops in Minnesota and North Dakota.

Growers planted 2.32 million acres (938 thousand hectares) of dry beans this year, up 23
percent from 1980 and the highest in 38 years. Area harvested at 2.20 million acres (890
thousand hectares) was up 21 percent. The U.S. yield averaged 1445 pounds per acre, just under
last year's 1449 pounds.

Considerable acreage was lost in Michigan as heavy rains fell on mature fields in late August
and most of September. Better weather in October allowed harvest to resume, but most yields
were short of earlier potential. Late fall rains in California cut short the completion of
harvest but not before growers had realized their best average yield ever.

Six States produced record dry bean crops in 1981. Idaho, North Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska
and Kansas planted their largest recorded acreage. Colorado, Kansas and Wyoming achieved their
highest yields of record.

Montana growers had problems getting their crop planted because of dry soils and frost. Wet
weather during harvest lowered New York yields. Utah had good growing weather. Spring planting

was late in Washington but the crop had good bloom and harvest weather which produced good
yields.

NOVEMBER WEATHER SUMMARY

A large low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska persisted all month, spawning storms that:
plagued the west coast with high wind, heavy rain, and snow in the mountains. The storms moved
eastward and spread snow and rain through the Plateau and Rockies before re-intensifying in the
Plains. The seasons first major snowstorm formed in the northern Plains and moved eastward
through the Great Lakes and midwest to the central and northern Appalachians. Average
temperatures for the month were above normal over most of the Nation. Only parts of the east.
coast States were near normal or cooler. The northern Plains averaged 8 to 100 above normal.

FIRST WEEK...An intense low pressure system formed in the central Plains and remained “ly
stationary before moving rapidly northeastward. Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific
Ocean reacted with the low and spread light to moderate rain from central and eastern Texas to
Nebraska. The showers and some thunderstorms spread eastward through the South. Circulation
from a hurricane moving northward out of the Carribean to the east of Florida, triggered showers
along the southeast coast. Later in the week, a cold front spread rain from the middle and
lower Mississippi Valley through most of the East. Temperatures averaged above normal in most
of the Nation except for the persistant rainy area near the low center in the southern Plains.

SECOND WEEK...A cold front moving through eastern United States brought light showers to t:he
middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys; a wave formed on the front in the Gulf of Mexico, causing
moderate to heavy showers along the eastern gulf coast and through northern Florida. The low
pressure center, or wave, then moved northward along the east coast, spreading rain al} the way
to New England. Later in the week, an intense storm off the coast of the Pacific Northwest
brought high winds, heavy rain (snow in the mountains), and a few thunderstorms from south-
central California through the Plateau to the northern Rockies. Temperatures were much above
normal from the central and northern Plains through all of the West but the East was coal.
Freezing temperatures reached into northern Florida.

THIRD WEEK,..Storm systems were off both the Northeast and Northwest coasts. Weather in the
West was a repeat of the previous week, as wind and heavy rain continued through the coastal
mountains, accumulating more snow at higher elevations. Showers of rain or snow extenced
throughout the Pacific Northwest. In the East, another low pressure system moved northward
along the coast and spread rain and showers from the eastern Gulf States through New England.
At midweek, a low pressure system in southern Nebraska brought freezing rain and the season's
first major snowstorm to the northern Plains. The system moved eastward, spreading snow through
the Great Lakes and southward into Kentucky and the central Appalachians. The snow moved on to
the northern Appalachians, but the coast of New England had only rain.

FOURTH WEEK...The present low pressure system off the West coast continued to generate
storms that moved into the West and then across the Nation. Late in the week, a storm moved
southward along the West coast before turning eastward, bringing light to moderate rain or snow
to the Southwest. Snow piled high in the mountains as precipitation spread throughout the West
during the week. Precipitation covered nearly all of the Nation. Moderate showers reached from
the southeastern Texas coast into Kentucky and more snow fell from the northern Plains through
the Great Lakes.

ROW CROP_HARVEST

Harvests of corn, soybeans, and grain sorghum were well behind norma} at the beginning of
November, but mild, dry weather in late October and early November enabled growers to spend jong
hours in the fields and by the end of the month, harvests were well along in most areas.

Corn harvest in the 17 major producing States was 96 percent complete by the end of
November. However, Indiana and Ohio harvests were only 90 percent complete and Missouri and
Nebraska 92 percent complete: at month's end; producers were waiting for the grain to dry in the
fields to avoid high drying costs. In northern growing areas, the completion of harvest was
delayed by wet fields.

Grain sorghum harvest in the 7 major States reacied 95 percent complete by the end af
November, 3 points behind average. Progress lagged normal jn all States except Oklahoma, South
Dakota, and Texas.

By the end of November, 96 percent of the soybean crop had been combined, 2 points ahead af

average. Combining centered in the Delta, the Southeast, and in Kansas. Harvest was finished
in Illinois, Iowa, and Nebraska.
