Crop Production 

ISSN: 1936-3737

Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Cotton Production Down 1 Percent from November Forecast

Orange Production Down 1 Percent from October Forecast

All cotton production is forecast at 18.3 million 480-pound bales, down 1 percent from last month but up 50 percent from 

last year’s 12.2 million bales. Yield is expected to average 814 pounds per harvested acre, up 37 pounds from last year. 

Upland cotton production is forecast at 17.8 million 480-pound bales, down 1 percent from last month but 51 percent 

above 2009. Producers in Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas are expecting decreased yields from last month. 

American Pima production, forecast at 497,800 bales, was carried forward from last month.

The United States all orange forecast for the 2010-2011 season is 8.93 million tons, down 1 percent from the October 1 

forecast but 9 percent above the 2009-2010 final utilization. The Florida all orange forecast, at 143 million boxes

(6.44 million tons), is down 2 percent the October 1 forecast but 7 percent above last season’s final utilization. Early, 

midseason, and navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 68.0 million boxes (3.06 million tons), down 1 percent from 

October and 1 percent lower than last season. The Florida Valencia orange forecast, at 75.0 million boxes (3.38 million 

tons), is down 3 percent from the previous forecast but up 15 percent from the 2009-2010 crop. Weather conditions in the 

citrus growing areas remained extremely dry. Fruit size for the non-Valencia oranges is projected to be the smallest in any 

non-disaster season and drop rate is projected to be above the minimum but below average. Current fruit size continues to 

be smaller than the previous season and drop rate is near the minimum and projected to be below average for the Valencia 

crop. California and Texas forecasts are carried forward from October.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the 2010-2011 season is 1.61 gallons per box at 

42.0 degrees Brix, unchanged from the October 1 forecast but up 3 percent from last season’s final yield of 1.56 gallons 

per box. Projected yield from the 2010-2011 early-midseason and Valencia varieties will be published in the January Crop 

Production report. All projections of yield assume the processing relationships this season will be similar to those of the 

past several seasons.

Fall Potato Varieties Planted

The National Agricultural Statistics Service collects variety data in eight States, accounting for 80 percent of the 2010 

forecasted United States fall potato planted acres. Colorado data are from a growers’ potato variety survey. The remaining 

seven States conduct objective yield surveys where all producing areas are sampled in proportion to planted acreage. 

Variety data shown below are actual percentages from these surveys.

2010 Potato Objective Yield Data

The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in seven fall potato-producing States 

during 2010. Sample plots were located in potato fields randomly selected using a scientifically designed sampling 

procedure. Field workers recorded counts and measurements within the field and then harvested six hills per sample. 

Potatoes were sent to laboratories for sizing and grading according to accepted United States fresh grading standards. Data 

in these tables are rounded actual field counts from this survey.

November Weather Summary

November rainfall aided drought-stressed pastures and winter grains from the central Gulf Coast States into the Ohio 

Valley. In fact, drought in the eastern Corn Belt was nearly eradicated by late-autumn precipitation. In contrast, drought 

developed or intensified in parts of the southern Atlantic region, particularly across Florida and Georgia.

Farther west, Midwestern producers were able to virtually complete corn and soybean harvesting prior to the onset of 

wintry weather. By month’s end, snow covered parts of the upper Midwest, consistent with an evolving La Niña.

Also typical of La Niña, cold, stormy weather dominated the northern Plains and the Northwest, where the wellestablished winter wheat crop was largely protected from early-season cold outbreaks by an extensive snow cover. In 

contrast, unfavorably dry weather covered a portion of the central and southern Plains, leaving some winter grains poorly 

established and vulnerable to winter weather extremes. Prior to mid-month, a single storm provided some much-needed 

moisture from northern Texas to southeastern Nebraska.

Elsewhere, a parade of storms helped to establish high-elevation snow packs from the Pacific coastal ranges to the 

Rockies, excluding parts of the Southwest.

November Agricultural Summary

Near-normal temperatures and mostly dry weather blanketed much of the United States during November, allowing 

producers ample time to finish harvesting their summer row crops and seed their over-wintered small grains. However, 

establishment of the 2011 winter wheat crop in the Great Plains was hampered by the lack of available soil moisture. 

Elsewhere, increased precipitation accumulation from recent months in benefitted drought-stressed pastures and recently 

seeded small grain crops in portions of the Southeast. 

As the month began, corn producers throughout much of the Great Plains and Midwest were wrapping up this year’s 

harvest. Nationally, 96 percent of the crop was harvested by November 7, sixty-one percentage points, or over 43 days, 

ahead of last year and 23 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

By November 7, sorghum producers had harvested 89 percent of the Nation’s crop, 38 percentage points ahead of last 

year and 18 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Warm, sunny weather throughout much of the harvest season 

contributed to a rapid fieldwork pace in the central Great Plains, pushing progress throughout the region well ahead of 

normal. With harvest complete or nearly complete in all 11 major estimating States except New Mexico and Texas, 

Nationwide progress advanced to 95 percent complete by November 21, twenty-two percentage points ahead of last year 

and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

Ninety-five percent of the 2011 winter wheat crop was seeded by November 7, nine percentage points ahead of last year 

and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average, while 82 percent of the crop had emerged, 10 percentage points 

ahead of last year and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Emergence neared completion across much of the 

Pacific Northwest and Great Plains mid-month, while near-normal temperatures promoted double-digit progress in 

Arkansas, California, Indiana, and North Carolina during the week ending November 21. By November 28, emergence 

had advanced to 94 percent complete, 5 percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year 

average. Overall, 47 percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on November 28, 

compared with 45 percent on November 7 and 63 percent from the same time last year.

Dry, sunny weather in North Dakota, the largest sunflower-producing State, aided a rapid harvest pace as November 

began. By November 7, producers had harvested 79 percent of the crop Nationwide, 50 percentage points ahead of last 

year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Fieldwork remained steady in the four major estimating States 

throughout much of the month, and by November 21, ninety-six percent of the sunflower crop was harvested, 

19 percentage points ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

Eighty-six percent of this year’s peanut crop was harvested by November 7, with progress ahead of both last year and the 

average in all eight major estimating States except North Carolina and Virginia. While producers in Georgia had dug their 
Crop Production (December 2010) 39

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

entire crop by mid-month, portions of the crop remained to be combined. With the exception of Alabama, where progress 

typically trails the other peanut States, harvest was complete or nearly complete by November 21.

Nationally, 71 percent of the cotton crop was harvested by November 7, thirty percentage points ahead of last year and 

18 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. In Texas, producers had harvested 60 percent of their crop by 

November 7, the quickest pace since 2001 when producers harvested 60 percent of their crop by November 3. Under mild, 

mostly dry weather conditions, double-digit progress was evident in California, South Carolina, and Texas between 

November 15 and November 21. By November 28, producers had harvested 91 percent of this year’s cotton crop, 

11 percentage points ahead of last year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

As the month began, sugarbeet producers in the Red River Valley had finished harvesting this year’s crop, while growers 

in Idaho and Michigan were busy digging the last of their fields. Nationally, 97 percent of the sugarbeet crop was 

harvested by November 7, six percentage points ahead of last year and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

Crop Comments

Cotton: Upland cotton harvested area, at 10.6 million acres, is unchanged from last month but up 43 percent from last 

year. American Pima harvested area, at 207,000 acres, is carried forward from the August forecast.

A killing frost was reported early in November in some areas of the Southeastern region (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, 

North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia), which aided defoliation. Favorable weather conditions allowed harvest to 

progress rapidly during the first half of November and harvest neared completion by the end of the month. Objective yield 

data in Georgia show bolls per acre to be the lowest in the last 7 years and boll weight to be at its lowest level since 1998. 

North Carolina boll weights are at their lowest level since 2005.

Harvest was completed by mid-November in the Delta region. In Louisiana, objective yield data forecast boll weight to be 

the lightest in over 10 years. Objective yield data in Arkansas show the bolls per acre to be the largest on record and the 

largest in the last 5 years in Mississippi.

Harvest advanced quickly in Texas under ideal weather conditions in November. Objective yield data in Texas show boll 

weight to be the lowest since 2005. Cotton harvest got underway in Kansas during October, while harvest progressed 

ahead of average in Oklahoma during the month.

In Arizona, cotton harvest was slightly behind last year and normal. In California, harvest was nearly complete by the end 

of the month.

The American Pima production forecast was carried forward from last month, at 497,800 bales, up 25 percent from last 

year. The United States yield is forecast at 1,154 pounds per harvested acre, down 235 pounds per acre from last year.

Ginnings totaled 13,196,350 running bales prior to December 1, compared with 7,872,850 running bales ginned prior to 

the same date last year.

Fall Potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2010 is forecast at 361 million cwt, down slightly from the November 1 

forecast and down 8 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 882,800 acres, is slightly above the November 1 forecast 

but 4 percent below the 2009 estimate. The average yield forecast, at 409 cwt per acre, is down 1 cwt per acre from the 

November 1 forecast and 20 cwt per acre below last year’s record high yield.

Idaho’s yield is forecast at 389 cwt per acre. Due to cool, wet spring weather, emergence lagged about ten to fourteen 

days behind the previous year and the five-year average. Production in Idaho, at 114 million cwt, is down 14 percent from 

last year. Harvested acreage is the lowest since 1980. In eastern Washington, below normal temperatures aided plant 

growth. In the western area, crop progress slowed due to surplus rainfall. In Colorado, growing conditions were generally 

favorable in the San Luis Valley. Oregon’s crop was delayed due to wet conditions. Acreage in California was 

significantly lower due to the water shortage stemming from drought conditions. Yields were also adversely affected by a 

cool spring and fall rains.
40 Crop Production (December 2010)

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

In North Dakota, crop condition was rated mostly good to excellent throughout the growing season. Harvest progressed 

ahead of normal and was virtually complete by mid-October. Wisconsin growers reported average crop conditions and 

below normal crop size.

In Maine, potato development was ahead of schedule by mid-June. Field conditions were reported to be excellent, with 

many growers beginning harvest in early September.

All Potatoes: Total United States potato production in 2010 from all seasons is forecast at 399 million cwt, down slightly 

from the November 1 forecast and 8 percent below 2009. Harvested area, at 1.01 million acres, is virtually unchanged 

from last month but down 3 percent from last year. Average yield is forecast at 395 cwt per acre, 1 cwt below the previous 

month and down 19 cwt per acre from the previous year record high yield of 414 cwt per acre.

Dry Beans: United States dry edible bean production is forecast at 31.3 million cwt for 2010, up 23 percent from 2009. 

Planted area is forecast at 1.91 million acres, up 23 percent from last year. Harvested area is forecast at 1.83 million acres, 

25 percent above the previous year. The average United States yield is forecast at 1,706 pounds per acre, a decrease of 

31 pounds from 2009.

Production is expected to be higher in 12 of the 17 States in the dry bean program in 2010. The top five producing States 

all showed increased production from last season. Production in North Dakota, the largest producing State, was up 

34 percent from a year ago, while Michigan increased 20 percent from 2009. Minnesota and Nebraska’s production 

increased 22 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Idaho’s production is up 25 percent from last season.

In North Dakota, harvest began the final week of August, about three weeks ahead of last season and was essentially 

complete by mid-October, a month ahead of last year. In Michigan, harvest began on a limited basis the week of 

August 23. By September 7, dry beans were turning quickly and continued to be harvested. Harvest wrapped up the week 

ending October 17.

Excessive moisture slowed maturation and harvest in Minnesota. Several growers reported leaving unharvested beans in 

the fields. In Idaho, cool, wet weather this spring delayed planting and negatively impacted crop development.

Grapefruit: The 2010-2011 United States grapefruit crop is forecast at 1.21 million tons, down 1 percent from the 

October 1 forecast and down 2 percent from the 2009-2010 crop.

Florida’s grapefruit production is forecast at 19.6 million boxes (833,000 tons), down 2 percent from the previous forecast 

and down 3 percent from last season. The Florida all white grapefruit forecast is 5.60 million boxes (238,000 tons), down 

7 percent from the 2009-2010 season. White grapefruit droppage is expected to be above average. The colored grapefruit 

forecast, at 14.0 million boxes (595,000 tons), is 2 percent below last season. California and Texas forecasts are carried 

forward from October.

Tangelos: Florida’s tangelo forecast is 1.10 million boxes (50,000 tons), unchanged from the October 1 forecast but up 

22 percent from last season’s final utilization. The drop rate is expected to be the lowest on record.

Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is forecast at 621,000 tons, down 1 percent 

from the October 1 forecast but up 4 percent from the 2009-2010 crop. Florida’s tangerine crop is forecast at 4.40 million 

boxes (209,000 tons), down 2 percent from the previous forecast and down 1 percent from the previous season. Fruit size 

is projected to be below average. California and Arizona forecasts are carried forward from October.

Florida citrus: Precipitation was variable throughout the citrus growing region during November. High temperatures 

were mainly in the 80s, while low temperatures reached the upper 40s in some areas. Trees are reported to be generally in 

good condition. Drought conditions were predominant across the entire citrus producing region, with the most severe 

being reported by growers in Indian River County and Brevard County.

Grove practices included herbicide applications, fertilizer applications, and irrigation. Caretakers continued to survey 

groves for greening, treat trees for the citrus psyllid, and remove infected trees.

California citrus: Navel oranges and mandarins were harvested and packed in the San Joaquin Valley. Navels showed 

good color and maturity. Pummelos and grapefruit were also harvested. Some orchards were prepared for fumigation. Fall 

fertilizers and supplements were applied. Citrus growers took measures to guard against frost due to low temperatures in 

late November. Lemons were picked in the Desert Region, along with Meyer lemons being picked in Tulare County.

California noncitrus fruits and nuts: The kiwifruit, pomegranate, and fig harvests continued in the Central Valley. The 

pomegranate harvest was complete in the southern San Joaquin Valley. Fruit trees and grapes were in the early stage of 

dormancy. The last of the fall grapes were being harvested and pruning of grape vines was underway. The table, wine, and 

raisin grape harvests continued. Grape vines and orchard trees were being pruned. Strawberries were harvested in 

Monterey County as strawberry nursery plants were shipped from Siskiyou County. Blueberry and raspberry nursery 

plants were shipped from Tulare County. The olive harvest was ongoing.

The almond, pecan, walnut, and pistachio harvests were completed across the State. As part of post-harvest maintenance, 

zinc, fertilizers, and herbicides were applied, as well as some pruning being done.

Pecans: Production is forecast at 258 million pounds (utilized, in-shell basis), 5 percent below the previous forecast and 

11 percent below the 2009 production. When compared with last year, native production is forecast to be down in all 

States except Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Although this is a down year in the alternate bearing pattern, conditions have 

been favorable in these States. Improved varieties are forecast below last year’s production in all States except California,

Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas. Nationally, improved varieties are expected to produce 209 million pounds or 

81 percent of the total, while native and seedling varieties, at 49.5 million pounds, make up the remaining 19 percent of 

production. 

Georgia pecan production for 2010 is forecast at 65.0 million pounds, 13 percent less than the October 1 forecast. This is 

the "off" year in the alternate bearing cycle, which combined with drought conditions throughout the summer, leading to a 

decline in production of 28 percent from last season.

Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 29.4 million tons, up fractionally from the 

November 1 forecast but down 3 percent from last year. Producers expect to harvest 876,200 acres for sugar and seed in 

2010, unchanged from last month but up 2,300 acres from last year. In Texas, area harvested for sugar and seed is 

expected to total 52,000 acres. If realized, this will be a record high for the State. Conversely, producers in Hawaii are 

expected to harvest 17,200 acres for sugar and seed and if realized, will be a record low for the State. Expected yield is 

forecast at 33.5 tons per acre, unchanged from the November 1 forecast but down 1.3 tons from 2009.

In Louisiana, sugarcane harvest was advancing ahead of both last year and the 5-year average pace. Elsewhere, sugarcane 

harvest remained active in the Florida Everglades under mostly ideal weather conditions.

Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 7.90 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2010-2011 season, down 

9 percent from the previous season. On the Big Island, dry weather, a late harvesting season, and insect damage negatively 

impacted coffee yields. Puerto Rico coffee production for the 2010-2011 season is estimated at 9.00 million pounds 

(parchment basis), unchanged from last season’s revised production.

Statistical Methodology

Cotton survey procedures: Objective yield surveys were conducted between November 24 and December 1 to gather 

information on expected yields as of December 1. The objective yield survey for cotton was conducted in producing 

States that usually account for approximately 75 percent of the United States production. At crop maturity, the fruit is 

harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current 

year harvesting loss.

Orange survey procedures: The orange objective yield survey for the December 1 forecast was conducted in Florida, 

which produces about 75 percent of the United States production. Bearing tree numbers are determined at the start of the 

season based on a fruit tree census conducted every other year, combined with ongoing review based on administrative 

data or special surveys. From mid-July to mid-September, the number of fruit per tree is determined. In September and 

subsequent months, fruit size measurement and fruit droppage surveys are conducted, which combined with the previous 

components are used to develop the current forecast of production. California and Texas conduct grower and packer 

surveys on a quarterly basis, in October, January, April, and July. California conducts an objective measurement survey in 

September for navel oranges and in March for Valencia oranges.

Cotton estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield estimates for cotton were reviewed for errors, 

reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. For cotton, reports from cotton ginners in each State were also 

considered. Each cotton State Field Office submits its analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board 

(ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published December 1 forecast.

Orange estimating procedures: State level objective yield estimates for Florida oranges were reviewed for errors, 

reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. The Florida Field Office submits its analysis of the current 

situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the Florida survey data and their analyses to prepare 

the published December 1 forecast. Reports from growers and packers in California and Texas were also used for setting 

estimates. The December 1 orange production forecasts for these two States are carried forward from October.

Revision policy: The December 1 production forecasts will not be revised. For cotton, a new estimate will be made in 

January followed by end-of-season revisions in May. Administrative records are reviewed and revisions are made, if data 

relationships warrant changes. Harvested acres may be revised any time a production forecast is made, if there is strong 

evidence that the intended harvested area has changed since the last estimate.

For oranges, the December 1 production forecasts will not be revised. A new forecast will be made each month 

throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates will be published in the Citrus Fruits Summary released in 

September. The production estimates are based on all data available at the end of the marketing season, including 

information from marketing orders, shipments, and processor records. Allowances are made for recorded local utilization 

and home use.

Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December 1 production forecasts, the "Root Mean Square 

Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the December 1 production 

forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of squared percentage 

deviations for the latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the 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 2.1 percent. This means that chances are 

2 out of 3 that the current cotton production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 

2.1 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 3.6 percent.

Changes between the December 1 cotton forecast and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 

243,000 bales, ranging from 40,000 to 785,000 bales. The December 1 forecast for cotton has been below the final

estimate 11 times and above 9 times. The difference does not imply that the December 1 forecasts this year are likely to 

understate or overstate final production.

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the December 1 orange production forecast is 7.3 percent. However, if you exclude the 

four abnormal production years (two freeze seasons and two hurricane seasons), the “Root Mean Square Error” is 

3.5 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current orange production forecast will not be above or below 

the final estimate by more than 7.3 percent, or 3.5 percent excluding abnormal seasons. Chances are 9 out of 10 

(90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 12.7 percent, or 6.1 percent excluding abnormal seasons.

Changes between the December 1 orange forecast and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 

462,000 tons (308,000 tons excluding abnormal seasons), ranging from 1,000 tons to 2.02 million tons (1,000 tons to 

764,000 tons, excluding abnormal seasons). The December 1 forecast for oranges has been below the final estimate 

8 times and above 12 times (below 8 times and above 8 times, excluding abnormal seasons). The difference does not 

imply that the December 1 forecasts this year are likely to understate or overstate final production.
