CROP PRODUCTION, January 1968 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Despite a slight improvement in topsoil moisture, parts of the Great Plains

stayed dry, particularly a large area from the Panhandle of Texas and Oklahoma

northward across western Kansas, eastern Colorado, mich of Nebraska, and

parts of South Dakota and Montane. East of the Great Plains, precipitation

was generally adequate to excessive, except western Iowa, Minnesota, and
econsin,

Unfavorable conditions for fall harvest plaguing fermers in Missouri
and most eastern North Central States, continued through December, Corn
harvest made lingted progress because of frequent precipitation and mild
weather kept moisture content high and the fields too wet to support heavy
equipment, Hy January 5 harvest of corn was ahout 75 percent complete in
Indiana, 80 percent in Ohio, 90 percent in Tllinois, 85 percent in Michigan,
and 87 percent in Missouri,

Fall-seeded grains improved in most South Atlantic and eastern South
Central States under favorable moisture and temperature conditions, although
growth slowed at the end of the month from below normal temperatures, Winter
wheat remained in fair to good condition throughout the Corn Belt. In eastern
parts of the Central and Southern Great Plains moisture has been plentiful
and conditions are much better than a year earlier. Snow cover at the end
of month wes light in portions of the Northern Plains, particularly parts of
Nebraska, South Dakota, and Montana where sub-zero temperatures brought stress
to unprotected fields, Small grains are developing well in the Pacific
Northwest except in some summer fallow counties of Oregon's Columbia Basin,
In this area, earlier dry weather had caused spotty stands,

CORN ON FARMS: Jenuary 1, 1968 stocks of corn on farms totaled 3,353

million bushels, 16 percent more than a year earlier, and
12 percent above the 1962-66 average, This equals 71.0 percent of the 1967
production, Stocks on North Central Region farms, at 2,948 million bushels,
accounted for 88 percent of total U, S, farm stocks, January 1 stocks include
the corn not yet harvested,

Disappearance of corn from farms in the finel 1967 quarter is a record
high, 1,939 million bushels. High moisture in corn impeding farm storage,
plus increased use of field shelling equipment contributed to increased
movement from farms at harvest. This wes the sixth consecutive year of
increasing disappearance,

Corn harvest has been slow, particularly in the Eastern Corn Belt,
because of high moisture in grain and mddy fields,

WHEAT ON FARMS: Farm holdings of all wheat January 1, 1968 were a record

high toteling 505 million bushels, This 1s 23 percent more
than the year-earlier holdings, and 42 percent above average. Record
production coupled with “tight holdings" by farmers contributed to the high
farm stocks, Disappearance from farms during October-December was 97
million bushels compared with 132 mfilion a year earlier.

Lower prices for feed barley has contributed to slower movement fran
farms because disappearance of barley from farms during October-December
1967 was only 46 million bushels. ‘his is down sharply from the 69
million disappearance a year earlier.

BYE STOCKS ON FARMS: Rye stored on farms January 1 totaled 8.7 million

bushels, 9 percent less than a year earlier and the
smallest for January 1 since 1964, ‘he Dakotas, with 5.4 million bushels,
had 62 percent of the total U. S. farm stocks. Disappearance of rye from
U. S. farms during the October-December quarter was 3.6 million bushels
compared with 6.0 million bushels a year earlier.

BAY STOCKS ON FARMS: January 1 stocks of hay on farms, estimated at 89.2
million tons, were 5 percent more than the 84.8

million tons a year earlier. Carryover stocks of 21,9 million tons

on May 1, 1967 weve nearly a million tons less than a year earlier. Pro-
duction of all kinds of bay in 1967 totaled 126 million tons, 4 percent
above 1966. Stocks are sharply higher than a year earlier in all Regtons
except the North Central. Although fall weather was favorable for grazing
in the North Central Region, hay stocks are only slightly larger than 4
year earlier because of markedly decreased production of alfalfa hay in
many States, Disappearance of 59.1 million tons from May 1 to January 1
is slightly above a year earlier.

AVOCADOS: California's fall and winter avocado crop is forecast at 27,000

tons, two-thirds less than the large crop of 53,600 tons last
yeare Harvest of the Fuerte crop is increasing seasonally after being
curtailed during the mid-December cold weather. Im the heavy producing
Fallbrook area of San Diego County, snow and wind caused some droppage.
Total damage was not severe.

CEPRUS: ‘The Nation's production of oranges in. the 1967-68 season is
expected to total 125.8 million boxes. This is one-third less
than last season's record crop but 5 percent more than the 1961-65 average.
All citrus producing States expect to harvest fewer oranges this season.
January 1 reports show production of Early, Midseason and Navel varieties
will be down 32 percent from last season and Valencias down 34 percent.

+ production is forecast at 41.9 million boxes, 25 percent
less than last season but 5 percent more than average. All States except
Arizona expect to harvest less grapefruit. Production of lemons in
California and Arizona is expected to total 16.5 million boxes, 9 percent
less than last season but 5 percent more than average. An estimted 4.4
million boxes of tangerines will be produced this season~-about one-third
below last season's output.

Stocks of durum wheat on farms January 1, 1968 totaled 46.4 million
bushels, 17 percent above lest year but otherwise the lowest for January
1 since 1962, Disappearance from farms during the last quarter of 1967
totaled 8.8 million bushels compared with 22.1 million a year earlier.

OATS ON FARMS: January 1, 1968 farm stocks of 544 million bushels

were 2 percent less than on the same date a year earlier.

low 97 million bushels compared with 122 million a year earlier.

SOYBEANS ON FARMS: Soybeans on farms January 1 are estimated at near
350 million bushels, a record high. Current farm
stocks are two percent above year~earlier etocks, January 1, 1968
stocks equaled 36.0 percent of total 196T production compared with 37.1
percent a year earlier. :
1
January 1 farm stocks were above a year earlier in the South
Atlantic and South Cantral regions, where production gains were highest
in 1967. The North Central States, where 61 percent of the total U.' S.
farm stocks of soybeans were located, had one percent less than a year
earlier. Iowa had the largest stocks, ‘at 87 million bushels, followed
by Tllinois with 68 million, and Minnegote with 47 million.

(1967 production of 973 million bushels plus a carryover of 42 million).
The indicated movement from farms during the September-December period
amounted to 665 million bushels--65.5 percent of beginning supplies.

A year earlier farm disappearance totaled 568 million bushels.

SORGHUM GRAIN ON FARMS: Stocks of sorghum on farms on January 1
totaled 219 million bushels, 7 percent below

year-eerlier holdings. The current level of farm stocks is the second

highest of record mainly because of the! record large 1967 crop. The

States of Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas account for 79 percent of the

U. Se total stocks on farms. '

l
Disappearance frou farms during the October-December 1967 quarter

Harvest of grapefruit is active in the Yuma area but has been limited in
the Salt River Valley area due to the smaller fruit sizes, In Texas,
harvest of grapefruit and Early and Midseason oranges was active through
December with good volume moving into fresh market channels. Fruit is of
good size, Movement of Early and Midseason oranges will continue in
declining volume through January, A few Velencia oranges have been
harvested but movement will be light until late January,

FOTATOES: Production of 1968 winter potatoes is forecast at 3,812,000

hundredweight, 22 percent less then 1967 and 7 percent below

"reds" got underway in December. Cold weather slowed crop growth in
the Ft, Myers-Inmokalee area, Harvesting of early ". " is expected to
start in late January, Cold weather and rains during December slowed
harvest in California in the Perris-Hemet area of Riverside County and
also in Kern County, Volume from all districts is expected to increase
during January.

Planting intentions for the late spring potato crop are placed at

earlier in all States of this group except Mississippi, Oklahoma, end
Texas, where the acreage is estimated at the same level as last year, In
Alabama and Louisiana, planting is expected to get underway in late
Januery. Some acreage has been planted in Arizona, but most of the crop
will be planted during late January end early February. In California,
planting is underway and should be completed in the Edison district by
early January while other districts are expected to continue into February,

In Florida, ground fog end damp, overcast days have caused some
splitting in Valencia oranges. Fruit droppage to date has not been
excessive. December rains benefited fruit growth and firming up of early
varieties. Processors began operations in December and harvest of oranges
accelerated. The quantity of oranges harvested to January 1 was running
about 7 percent above a year earlier.‘ Grapefruit harvest, however, is
running about 12 percent behind last season. Volume of tangerines moved
to January 1, at 1.9 million boxes, is considerably behind the 3.0 million
boxes a year earlier.

Florida citrus groves are in excellent condition as trees responded
faverebly to December rains. Buds began to form about mid-December but
were retarded by a cold snap the weekend of December 23 and 24. Warm
weather prevailed the last week of December and soil moisture is ample.
If favorable conditions continue, bloom for the 1968-69 crop can be
expected in late January.

In California, a severe freeze on'the morning of December 14 caused
considerable damage to the central California Navel orange crop. Cold
temperatucves were general from Kern County to Fresno. The extent of
damage varied within that area ranging from slight demage in isolated
spots to total loss in others. The Southern California producing areas
suffered only minor damage, centered primarily in the East Redlands and
East Highland areas of San Bernardino County. High winds accompanying
the cold temperatures in the southern Districts did cause some fruit drop
and scarring. The extent of damage to the Valencia crop cannot be deter-
mined until the fruit begins to mature. A part of California's Other
areas grapefruit is in the section where freezing temperatures occurred
but damage was not serious. Trees are in generally good condition ani
fruit is making satisfactory size growth. The Desert Valleys grapefruit
has a lighter set than last season but fruit is sizing well. Movement
of fruit to fresh market to date is running at about the same level as
lest season but a considerably lighter volume is being used for processing.
Lemons made excellent growth during November and December. The heavy
fall bloom set well. Harvest is making’ normal progress with movement
to date from Southern California running slightly above last season.
Harvest in the Desert Areas is practically complete. In the central
California district the mid-December freeze caused some damage. Only a
small percentage of the lemon crop was actually lost but a larger
percentage was damaged to the extent that it will not reach fresh market
standards.

Axizona's citrus groves are in excellent condition. Rain stopped
harvesting operations for about 10 days during December, There is no
apparent demage from the low temperatures. Harvest of Navels and sweet
oranges is about 70 percent complete and lemon harvest, 65 percent.

Fertilizer Use on Selected Crops in Selected States: 1967
(Corn for Grain, Cotton, Soybeans for Beans, Wheat

Information on fertilizer used on acreages of corn and wheat for
grain, soybeans for beans, and cotton in 1967 1a presented in the follow-
ing tables, The data was reported by a scientifically selected sample
of growers of the crops covered and are not official estimates of total
fertilizer use, The samples in some States are relatively small, and
the data are subject to usual sampling fluctuations, Sempling errors for
the rate per acre of principal nutrients applied in the major producing
States are about 3 to 9 percent for cotton and corn, 3 to 10 percent for
wheat and 6 to 17 percent for soybeans, The information in the four
tables is presented because of the widespread interest in fertilizer usage,
particularly information showing probable levels and trends in use of
fertilizer nutrients. Corresponding deta for 1964, 1965, and 1966 were
published in the February 1966 and 1967 Crop Production Reports,

The data on percentage of harvested acres fertilized, rate of
application of fertilizer nutrients, and time of application were collected
by interview in the specified States in the summer and fell of 1967, The
time of collection varied by crops. No attempt has been made to convert
the reported data into total nutrients used or acreage affected, However,
the total harvested acreage for each crop is shown by States, These are
the official USDA acreage estimates published in the 1967 Annual Crop
Summary, SRS, USDA.

The farmer interviews were made in conjunction with the Objective Yield
Surveys conducted by USDA's Statistical Reporting Service. The sample
fields for Objective Yield work resulted from sempling methods designed to
equel all producing areas, The farm operators of these fields were person-
ally interviewed to obtain the fertilizer use practices on the selected
sample fields,

The total number of sample fields for each State is shown in the
second column of the table for each crop, The data for wheat include
reports on Winter, Durum, and Other Spring Wheat, where produced, The
nutrients applied were reported in terms of N, Po0s5 and Kp0, but are shown
in the tables in terms of actual elements of N, P, and K. Factors used in
sopverting to actual elements of P and K are given in the footnotes to the
tables. i

The data in the last three columns of each table showing acres ferti-
lized at specified times are based on a sample count of farmers reporting
the time of application of fertilizer, However, because of the method
of sample selection, these percentages represent the percent of acres
fertilized (1) at or before seeding, (2) after seeding only, or (3) both at
or before seeding and after seeding,

Copies of these tables are available upon request,

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF JANUARY 1, 1968

Mild December weather and frequent precipitation further delayed
the late corn harvest in Missouri and eastern Corn Belt States, according
to the Crop Reporting Board. Based on the percent harvested as reported
by Weather-Crop reporters in 7 Corn Belt States where harvest has lagged
most, about 11 percent of the 1967 production in these States remained to
be harvested on January 5th. Precipitation in December averaged near to
above normal over much of the country, but was seasonally light over much
of the western half of the Nation. Livestock were generally in good
condition. Supplemental feeding increased sharply at the end of the
month because of low temperatures.

December milk production was 2 percent less than a year earlier
and 5 percent below average. Egg production gained 2 percent from a year
earlier and was 10 percent above average. Citrus production is expected
to be 30 percent below last year's record crop. Winter potato output is
expected to be down more than a fifth, and winter fresh vegetables 11
percent, from a year earlier,

Farm stocks of the four feed grains totaled 113 million tons on
January 1, 12 percent more than a year earlier and 9 percent above
average. Stocks of all wheat on farms were a record 505 million bushels,
23 percent above last year and 42 percent sbove average. Soybeans held
on farms also were at record levels -- 2 percent above a year earlier.
Farm stocks of hay were 5 percent more than a year earlier and 7 percent
above average,

Most of the Nation east of the Great Plains was warmer than usual
during December. However, from the Great Plains westward temperatures
were mostly below normal and highly variable. The first few days of the
month were generally cold over the entiré country. Except for the far
West, temperatures also averaged well below normal the last week of
December, when a severe cold wave moved across the Plains to the Atlentic
and Gulf coasts. Parts of the Great Plains averaged 12° to more than
20° below normal. Between these extremes, most of the Nation east of the
Rocky Mountains enjoyed well above normal temperatures, but the West
remained cold, Heavy snow fell in southern Utah, southwestern and
southcentral Colorado, and in the Mountains of New Mexico and Arizona
about mid-December. By the 20th, about 7 feet of snow covered the
Flagstaff, Arizona area. Livestock herds, temporarily cut off from hay
and water supplies suffered some losses, ‘In late December, moderate to
heavy snow fell in central and northern Rocky Mountain States and in the
East from northern Mississippi to Maine, | At the end of the month snow
covered much of the northern half of the country and the mountains of
Arizona and New Mexico.

December precipitation averaged near to above normal over much of the
country. However, areas in the West had seasonally light precipitation.
