Reliability of December 1 Cotton Production Forecasts

Survey Procedures: Objective yield cotton surveys were conducted to gather

information on expected yield,as of December 1 in the major
producing States that normally account for at least 80 percent of the U.S.
Production. Randomly selected fields and plots within fields are surveyed each
month. 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.

Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield survey

estimates were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and
consistency with historical estimates. In addition, reports from cotton ginners
in each State were considered. Each State Statistical Office submits their
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.

Revision Policy: The December 1 cotton production forecast will not be

revised; instead, a new forecast will be made in January
followed by end-of-season estimates. At the end of the marketing year,
administrative records are reviewed and revisions are made, if data
relationships warrant changes. Harvested acres may be revised at any time a
production forecast is made, if there is strong evidence that the intended
harvested area has changed since the last estimate. For cotton, adjustments are
usually made based on acreage data obtained from ASCS.

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 20-year (1974-1993) period is computed: then 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
1.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production
forecast of 19.6 million bales will not be above or below the final estimate by
more than 1.9 percent or approximately 371.880 thousand bales. Chances are

9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed
3.2 percent or approximately 626.320 million bales.

Changes between the December 1 forecast and the final estimate during the past
10 years have averaged 232,000 bales. ranging from 40.000 to 479,000 bales. The
December 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 4 times and above 6 times.
The difference does not imply that the December 1 cotton forecast this year is
likely to understate or overstate final production.

The Texas grapefruit forecast, at 3.80 million boxes (152,000 tons), is
unchanged from last month but up 27 percent from last season. Production
continues to increase from the freezes of the 1980's.

Tangelos: The 1994-95 Florida tangelo crop is forecast at 3.20 million boxes
(144,000 tons), unchanged from October and 4 percent less than last
season, The tangelo harvest was underway.

Tangerines: The 1994-95 U.S. tangerine crop is forecast at 294,000 tons, down

3 percent from October and 8 percent less than last season. The
Florida tangerine forecast is 3.80 million boxes (181,000 tons). down 5 percent
from the previous forecast. About 1.8 million boxes of Florida tangerines were
harvested, over twice as many as last season at the same date. The California
and Arizona forecasts are carried forward from October 1.

Temples: The 1994-95 forecast of Florida temple production is 2.60 million
boxes (117,000 tons), unchanged from October and up 16 percent from
last season.

K-Early Citrus: The 1994-95 forecast of K-Early Citrus fruit is 150,000 boxes
(7,000 tons), unchanged from the last forecast in October but
down 29 percent from last season's 210,000 boxes.

Pecans: The December 1 forecast for U.S. pecan production is 177 million
pounds (in-shell basis), down 11 percent from October and down

52 percent from last year. State forecasts decreased from October for Georgia.

New Mexico. and Oklahoma.

The Georgia forecast decreased 21 percent from October to 55.0 million pounds.
Commercial groves in the southwestern part of the State were severely damaged by
adverse weather. Outside of southwest Georgia, volume and quality are better
with yard trees yielding a good crop. The Texas production forecast remains at
40.0 million pounds, down 47 percent from last year. Excessive rains and warm
temperatures have Texas growers concerned about the quality of their crop. New
Mexico's pecan production is forecast at 24.0 million pounds. down 4 percent
from October. New Mexico growers were hit with heavy winds in the middle of
October; however, a majority of the crop was salvaged. Early spring freezes
also reduced this year's crop.

Oklahoma growers expect to harvest 12.0 million pounds, down 25 percent from
October. Producers have lost crops to flooding and predators as fields remain
too wet to harvest. Pecan production in Alabama is forecast at 4.00 million
Pounds, down 85 percent from last year. Insect and disease problems have
contributed to a low quality crop. LouiSiana’s pecan forecast is 6.00 million
pounds, unchanged from October's forecast. Harvest is progressing at a normal
rate. Significant pressures from insects and diseases contributed to this
year’s production decline.

Florida Citrus: Groves, trees. and fruit were in very good to excellent

condition in spite of the very wet month of November. During
the week of November 14 through 20 Tropical Storm Gordon dumped 6 to 10 inches
of rain in many citrus counties. Minor flooding occurred especially in some
east coast groves. Drainage was very rapid with no loss of trees due to
standing water.

Wet and soggy conditions may cause fruit loss in some lowland and flatwoods
groves. Harvesting for fresh utilization slowed during the storm week.
Harvesting for processing utilization resumed rapidly following the rains.
Advanced maturity of most early fruit accelerated harvest through November.
Movement of early and midseason oranges through November was almost 29 million
boxes. Seediess grapefruit harvest through November was about 7.9 million
boxes. Caretakers spent the last half of November cultivating for soil aeration
and pumping, ditching, and plowing to move standing water, There were very
little insecticide and herbicide application due to wet conditions.

Texas citrus: Harvest progressed without delay during November. Shipments of
gift packages increased. Both size and quality remained very
good. Trees were in good condition.

California Fruits and Nuts: Harvesting of late season apples, Asian pears,

kiwifruit. olives, persimmons, and pomegranates was
active in November. Table grape, almond, and walnut harvests ended. Date
harvest in the Coache)la Valley was active. Avocado picking in Southern
California and the San Joaquin Valley continued. Many growers pruned their
stonefruit and nut trees. A few cold nights in mid-November in the San Joaquin
Valley required frost protection measures for citrus. Some Navel oranges
suffered minor damage from ice. Citrus color improved with the cold nights.
Harvesting Navel oranges, grapefruit. lemons, and Satsuma tangerines was active.
The 1993-94 Valencia orange harvest was nearly complete.

Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at
32.0 million tons, virtually unchanged from the November 1 forecast
but 3 percent more than last year.

Tropical Storm Gordon threatened Florida's sugarcane crop and delayed the
harvest, but no acreage was lost. The harvest season will be lengthened as
growers wait for fields to dry out and for cane that is lodged to straighten up.

This year’s production of sugarcane for sugar, at 30.3 million tons. is up
2 percent from last year with most of the increase coming from Florida.

United States:

Monthly Marketings - United States

U.S. monthly marketing percentages for wheat, oats. barley,
corn, sorghum, soybeans, flaxseed, sunflower, cotton, and
peanuts are based on the 12 months which are used for the
U.S. marketing year. These months are consistent with the
data used to weight U.S. marketing year average prices.
Marketings are based on monthly probability surveys which
obtain quantities of the crop purchased from producers and
price information. Purchases are not identified by crop
production year, but represent the commodity sold during the
12 months of the marketing year. Monthly marketings for hay
and dry edible beans are based on estimates derived from
State marketing years and thus may extend over a period
exceeding 12 months.

Crop Production
December 1994


Winter Wheat Plantings: Seeding reached 94 percent in the 19 major producing

States as of November 13. This trailed both average
and last year’s progress by a point. As of November 20, wheat emerged was at
92 percent, 2 points ahead of average. Seeding continued in California,
Arizona, Texas, and across much of the Southeast.

Cotton: Upland cotton harvested acreage totaled 13.3 million acres, up slightly
from last month and up 5 percent from last year. American-Pima
harvested acreage is 174,600 acres, 1,000 acres above a month ago but 8 percent

below 1993.

In Texas. favorable weather allowed harvest to proceed at a fast pace. At the
end of November, 76 percent of Texas’ crop was harvested. 6 percent ahead of
average. Cotton objective yield measurements are recording the lowest boll
weights of the previous 10 years.

The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee)
equalled normal harvest pace during November. At the end of the month,
Tennessee had harvested 95 percent of their acreage, while the other States were
at least 98 percent complete. During mid-November, rainfall in Arkansas and
Louisiana delayed harvest activity. Data from objective yield surveys show the
second highest boll weights since 1984 in Louisiana and Mississippi, and the
third heaviest weights for Arkansas during this same period.

Arizona's harvest was 97 percent complete at the end of November, 3 points ahead
of normal. California, at 98 percent harvested, equalled their average pace.
December 1 objective counts show bot] weights are their lowest since 1984 for
both Arizona and California.

In all Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South
Carolina), harvest progress lagged the average, especially in Georgia, where
rainfall delayed fieldwork. Georgia producers harvested 77 percent of the
acreage by late November, 13 percent less than normal. South Carolina producers
harvested 82 percent of their crop compared with the 5-year average of 91.

North Carolina exceeded the normal pace by 6 percent. with 90 percent harvested.

American-Pima production is forecast at 350.000 bales, down 5 percent from 1993
and down 5.000 bales from the November forecast. Yields are expected to average
962 pounds per harvested acre, up 24 pounds from last year. Harvest in
California was interrupted temporarily during November because of rain. By the
month's end, harvest was virtually complete. The Trans-Pecos harvest made good
progress.

All cotton ginnings totaled 15.610.050 running bales prior to December 1,
compared with 13,244,150 running bales ginned to the same date last year and
12,596,550 running bales in 1992.

Burley Tobacco: U.S. burley tobacco production is forecast at 6.30 million
pounds. down 1 percent from the November 1 forecast and
slightly below last year.

By December 1, about a third of the estimated burley tobacco had crossed the
auction floor. Late season rains lowered yields in Virginia. Lower yields than
expected dropped Tennessee's production 4 percent from the November 1 forecast.

The quality of the tobacco in Kentucky was reported as mostly good to fair with
some yellowing showing up in stripped tobacco. Some Kentucky tobacco was still
hanging in the barns with the hope of the crop improving in quality. Tobacco
markets opened strong, and the new purchase agreement with the tobacco companies
sent only small amounts of tobacco into the pool.

November Weather Summary: Jet-stream energy poured into the West for the

second month in a row, maintaining favorably wet but
cool, conditions. Monthly temperatures averaged up to 10 degrees F below normal
in the Great Basin, while record snows accumulated in parts of the Wasatch Range
and the Sierra Nevada. Farther east, a broad southwesterly airflow prevented
strong cold air intrusions, producing temperatures up to 6 degrees F above
normal in the eastern half of the Nation. Occasional heavy rain accompanied the
warmth from central Texas to Michigan as numerous storm Systems drew subtropical
moisture across the region. Drier-than-normal weather prevailed from southern
Texas to the central Appalachians. Tropical Storm Gordon spun a meandering
course across Florida and near the southern Atlantic coast, damaging winter
vegetables and causing coastal flooding and erosion. Rains from Gordon dropped
an al)-time 24-hour record rainfall of 10.15 inches at Daytona Beach, FL.
Exceptionally stormy, cold conditions plagued Alaska. while very dry weather
developed across Hawaii except on the Big Island, where almost 3 feet of rain
inundated Hilo, producing localized flooding.

In the Wasatch mountain range, Alta, UT, received more than 15 feet of snow, a
November record, including 6 feet in 63 hours on November 25-28. Nearby
Snowbird Ski Resort netted more than 12 feet. also a November record. Monthly
records were also posted at Norden, CA, near Lake Tahoe (more than 6 feet), Salt
Lake City. UT (33.3 inches; 512 percent of normal), and Klamath Falls, OR. By
month's end, snowpack in the Tahoe basin stood at 206 percent of normal. The
sheer energy of the western storminess was manifested by a November record wind
gust of 76 mph in Cheyenne, WY, on November 17. Frequent post-storm surges of
cold kept California’s agricultural valleys flirting with the freezing mark. In
fact. Bakersfield set a November record with 28 degrees F on November 19, and
the mercury even dipped to 32 degrees F along the California coast at Monterey,
also establishing a new monthly record low. For the month as a whole, records
for coldness were established at Ely, NV (26.3 degrees F; 7.9 degrees F below
normal) and Santa Maria, CA (50.1 degrees F: 5.4 degrees F below normal).

In contrast, November was unseasonably mild in the East. Seven daily record
highs were set or tied in Apalachicola, FL. In the Great Lakes region, snow
held off unti) at least November 22, the latest date on record in many cases.
In Ohio, Cleveland's mere trace of snow tied for the least on record. The
Midwest's first significant snowfall began on November 27, and amounted to

8.4 inches in Sioux City, IA. and 7.6 inches at Aberdeen. SD. In the Northeast,
Jate-month totals included 4.3 inches at Concord, NH, and 6.3 inches in
Binghamton, NY.

General Crop Comments: Grain elevators in the Corn Belt were full as a result

of high yields and favorable harvesting weather.
Starting in November, producers were waiting in line at grain dryers and
elevators in the Great Lakes region where a late freeze lengthened the harvest.
At the beginning of the month, harvest progress for the row crops was ahead of
normal, but winter wheat planting was stigttty behind average. Excessive
moisture in the lower Great Plains and the middle Mississippi Valley caused some
replanting of small grains. Later in the month, corn was stored on the ground
because of continued storage shortages in the Midwest. Continued heavy rains
left fields saturated in the lower Mississippi Valley and slowed the cotton
harvest. By mid-month, Tropical Storm Gordon’s high winds and rain threatened
Florida’s citrus and vegetable crop. The damage to the winter vegetable crop
was limited but the citrus harvest was interrupted. Rain slowed the row crop
harvest in the Midwest, where the harvest neared completion ahead of schedule.
By month's end, the first major winter storm halted field activity in the North
Central States. Rain along the Pacific Coast delayed some late-season harvest
activity. The cotton harvest was delayed in the Southeastern States by rain but
finished the month ahead of the average.

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will be seeking input from
data users to assist in identifying areas for improvement in the NASS field crop
production forecasts and production and stocks estimates. In addition to
discussing NASS reports, Economic Research Service Situation and Outlook reports
and World Agriculture Outlook Board reports will be open for discussion.
Tentative dates for these meetings are as follows:

January 4, 1995 - Kansas City. Missouri

California Valencia Survey

A December 1 forecast of Valencia orange production in California is not
available. Funding for this forecast came from the former Valencia Orange
Administrative Committee. This administrative committee is no longer
functioning and there is no alternative source of funding for the December
Valencia Orange Objective Measurement survey. The next forecast of Valencia
orange production for California will be issued in “Crop Production” on
January 11, 1995.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice yield for the 1994-95 season is
forecast at 1.52 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix. This forecast is down
from October's forecast of 1.54 gallons. The forecast is projected to estimate
the final yield as reported by the Florida Citrus Processors Association. The
final 1993-94 yield for all fruit used in FCOJ was 1.57 gallons per box at

42.0 degrees Brix.

This report was approved on December 9, 1994, by the Secretary of Agriculture
and the National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Agricultural Statistics

Board.

December 1994 A-2


Papayas: Hawaii fresh papaya production was 4.66 million pounds in November, up
slightly from October but 19 percent lower than a year ago.
Year-to-date fresh sales were 2 percent lower than the same li-month period of

1993.

November weather conditions were mostly unfavorable over the major papaya
harvesting areas. Wet conditions for much of the month slowed farm activity.

Area devoted to papaya production was 3,195 acres in November, up slightly from
last month but 7 percent lower than a year ago. Harvested area was 1,920 acres.
2 percent lower than October and 24 percent lower than last November.

Dry Edible Beans: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 29.3 million

cwt for 1994, an increase of 34 percent from a year earlier
and 29 percent above two years ago. This forecast is 3 percent larger than the
October 1 level and is the largest crop since 1991. Area for harvest is
estimated at 1.84 million acres, up 13 percent from 1993 and 20 percent above
1992. The average yield, at 1,593 pounds per acre, increased 242 pounds from
last year and was 115 pounds above 1992.

The growing season started early in 1994 and stretched out through a mostly
jdeal harvest season. North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wyoming more than doubled
last year's output as growing conditions returned to normal after rain and frost
devastated the crops a year ago. Michigan and parts of the Red River Valley of
the North suffered flood damage this year in June and July, but the remainder of
the season was nearly ideal. Texas got caught with late season heat and drought
and Minnesota's harvest was delayed by rain. However, most States had smooth
harvests and boosted their productions substantially. Minnesota, Oregon, and
Wisconsin recorded their largest crops ever.

Most bean classes registered increases from last year. Exceptions were small
reds, down 1 percent. and cranberry, down 25 percent. Great northern production
almost doubled after several years of decline. Pinto increased 60 percent. dark
red kidneys were up 67 percent, and baby limas from California increased

85 percent. Navy bean production was up 1 percent from 1993 as Minnesota and
North Dakota made up for a short crop in Michigan. Black turtle soup beans. up
19 percent, gained wider acceptance across the country in addition to increases
by traditional producers, Michigan and New York. Light red kidneys were up

7 percent from a year ago and pinks were up 6 percent. Production of blackeye
beans increased 34 percent and garbanzos rose 13 percent with sharp gains in
California. Large lima beans were up 20 percent, small whites increased

44 percent. and other classes increased 52 percent.

Grapefruit: The forecast of the 1994-95 U.S. grapefruit crop (excluding

California's “Other Areas") is 2.68 million tons, unchanged from
last month but up 9 percent from last season. Last year, California's “Other
Areas” produced 194,000 tons (5.80 million boxes). The first forecast for that
type of grapefruit will be made April 1, 1995.

The December 1 forecasts for all three types of Florida grapefruit remain
unchanged from October at 55.5 million boxes (2.36 million tons), up 9 percent
from last season and 1 percent above the 1992-93 crop. Average fruit size
appears to be large and quality is good. The Florida white seedless grapefruit
forecast is 25.0 million boxes (1.06 million tons), an increase of 2 percent
from the 1993-94 crop. The colored seedtess forecast is 29.0 million boxes
(1.23 million tons), 14 percent more than last season. The seedy grapefruit
crop is expected to be 1.50 million boxes (64,000 tons), 43 percent more than
last year but 14 percent fewer than two years ago.
