Much of the North Central region had above normal precipitation in
December, mostly toward the end of the month. Farmers were able to complete
harvest of late crops except for scattered areas in Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Minnesota where muddy fields hampered use of heavy machinery.

Fall seeded grains maintained the earlier good conditions in the
Northern Plains. Top growth provided good protection against wind erosion,
but more snow cover will be welcomed. Rains added to development of wheat
fields in Kansas and Oklehoma and firmed dry soils around the plants. Showers
missed dryland wheat areas in Texas and New Mexico and the crop needs a good
soaking. The mild December weather permitted wheat plants to get established
in the Corn Belt area, where seeding was delayed by late harvest of corn and
soybeans. In the Pacific Northwest wheat continued to develop favorably
until colder weather arrived about mid-December.

CORN ON FARMS: Corn on farms January 1 totaled 3,142 million bushels,

11 percent above the 2,818 million held on farms a year
earlier, and 3 percent above the 3,052-million-bushel 5-year average for
the date. Only the January 1, 1964 record high of 3,248 million bushels
exceeded corn stocks on January 1, 1966,

Stocks on Corn Belt farms (North Central region less Michigan and
North Dakota), totaled 2,719 million bushels and account for over 87 percent
of the national total.

October-December 1965 farm disappearance of corn, at 1,633 million
bushels, is record large for the period. Disappearance during the same period
in 1964 totaled 1,437 million bushels, and the 5-year average is 1,252 million
bushels. The greater disappearance results from the record high 1965 corn
crop, much of which was picked during a wet harvest season and moved off farms
to commercial drying and storage facilities. A prolonged pasture season
also has reduced the need for feed corn.

WHEAT ON FARMS: Stocks of all wheat on farms January 1, 1966 totaled 408

million bushels, 5 percent above a year earlier and the
largest for the date since 1961. Disappearance from farms during October-
December was 154 million bushels compared with 116 million bushels in the same
quarter of 1964. Stocks on January 1 equaled 31 percent of the 1965 production
of all wheat compared with 30 percent a year earlier.

Durum wheat stocks on farms January 1, 1966 totaled 56.9 million
bushels compared with 47.2 million bushels a year earlier. Disappearance
from farms during October-December 1965 was 18.1 million bushels compared
with 8.8 million bushels during the same quarter last year.

Layer numbers on January 1 totaled 306.0 million compared with 308.8
million on January 1, 1965 and 305.8 million on December 1, 1965. Layer numbers
on January } continued at record lows in the East North Central and West
North Central States but at a record high in the South Atlantic region.

Rate of lay per hundred leyers was 57.7 eggs on January 1, the same as a
year earlier and up seasonally from 57.0 on December 1, 1965. Rate of lay was
1 percent above a year earlier in the South Central and Western regions but
down 1 percent in the East North Central and West North Central. In the North
Atlantic and South Atlantic there was no change.

Pullets not of laying age on January 1 totaled 49.4 million, up 2 percent
from a year earlier and up 30 percent from the 1960-64 January 1 average (kB-
State comparison). Potential layers (hens and pullets of laying age plus
pullets not of laying age) are estimated at 355.4 million birds compared with
357.1 million a year earlier and 356.2 million on December 1, 1965. Compared
with a year earlier, potential layers were down 7 percent in the West North
Central, 5 percent in the East North Central, and 4 percent in the North
Atlantic region. Potential layers were 7 percent above a year earlier in the
South Central, 4 percent in the South Atlantic, and unchanged in the West.

Disappearance from farms during the October-December 1965 quarter
totaled 500 million bushels, 32 percent more than in the same quarter
a year earlier and 27 percent above average,

BARLEY STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of barley on farms on January 1 totaled
195 million bushels, 3 percent more than a year
earlier but 3 percent less than average, Disappearance of barley from
farms during October-December 1965 was 62 million bushels, 12 percent
less than for the same period in 1964. In the Western States, January
1 stocks were up 8 percent from a year earlier and October-December
disappearance was off 28 percent from the same period in 1964,

RYE STOCKS ON FARMS: Rye stored on farms January 1 totaled 13.1 million

‘bushels, 13 percent more than a year earlier and
42 percent above average. Farm stocks were 39 percent of the 1965 rye
production. Disappearance from farms during the October-December”
quarter was 5.1 million bushels, the smallest October-December disap-
pearance since 1963. North Dakota and South Dakota, the leading rye
producing States, held 70 percent of the total U. S. farm stocks on
January 1.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: January 1 farm stocks of hay are estimated to be
87.3 million tons, up 13 percent from last year,
7 percent from average and highest since 1959. The season started last
May 1 with the lowest hay carryover in 10 years, but production was
record high, so hay supplies for the current feeding season were up
2 percent from average. Hay needs up to January 1, however, have been
less than usual because late fall weather was favorable, pasture growth
continued and open grazing extended through December across most of
the country. Hay disappearance from May to January was 53 million
tons, lowest since 1960 and 7 percent below average, leaving present
hay stocks on farms at a near record high. Hay stocks in all regions
on January 1 were above last year and above average except for the
North Atlantic, Except for local areas, hay stocks are above average
even in the previously short Central Plains area. Hay stocks are
still below average in Wisconsin and Iowa because considerable winter-
kill reduced hay production.

AVOCADOS: California's production cf fall and winter variety

avocados (including Fuerte) is forecast at 32,000 tons,
as times last year's output, Harvest was active through December
and movement increased the latter part of the month, Approximately
15 percent of the crop had been harvested by December 31.


CROP PRODUCTION, January 1966 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

OATS ON FARMS: Oats stored on farms January 1 totaled 680 million bushels,
9 percent above e year earlier but 4 percent below aver-
age. Farm holdings were sharply higher than a year earlier in the
important North Central States. Western States also showed moderate in-
creases. Elsewhere, farm stocks of oats were below a year earlier.

Disappearance from farms during October-December 1965 totaled 125
million bushels, down 3 percent from a year earlier and 28 percent
below average.

SOYBEANS ON FARMS: Soybeans on farms January 1 are estimated at 284
million bushels, a record high. Current stocks are

48 percent above January 1, 1965 farm holdings and 28 percent above

average. Stocks were 33.7 percent of the 1965 production compared with 27.3

percent a year earlier and the average of 35.4 percent.

January 1 farm stocks were above last year in all areas and reflect
the record 1965 crop. The North Central States, where 86 percent of the
total U. S. farm stocks were located, had 50 percent more stocks than a
year earlier. Iowa had the largest stocks with 64 million bushels,
followed by Illinois with 63 million, then Minnesota with 33 million.

The September 1, 1965 farm supply totaled 852 million bushels
(1965 production of 844 million bushels plus a carryover of 8 million).
From this supply the indicated movement from farms for September-
December amounted to 567 million bushels or 66.6 percent of beginning
supplies. Historical disappearance comparisons for the period
are not available -- the soybean carryover estimates were changed fron
an October 1 to a September 1 basis in 1965.

FLAXSEED STOCKS ON FARMS: Flaxseed stored on farms January 1 totaled
13.9 million bushels -- highest for January 1

since 1959. Stocks were 62 percent larger than a year earlier and 54

percent above the 5-year average. Over 98 percent of the stocks were

located in the Dakotas and Minnesota, with North Dakota accounting

for 69 percent of the National total.

Disappearance of flaxseed from farms during the October-December
quarter was 6.5 million bushels » the most since 1955. Disappearance
was 56 percent above the same quarter a year ago and nearly 24 times
the 5-year average.

SORGHUM GRAIN ON FARMS: Sorghum grain stocks on farms on January 1

totaled nearly 215 million bushels, up 38
percent from a year earlier and 17 percent above the 1960-64 average.
Most States had larger stocks than a year ago, mostly because of higher
production. Nebraska held nearly half of the total National farm
stocks on January 1. Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas together accounted
for 83 percent, about the same proportion as a year earlier.

CROP PRODUCTION, January 1966 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Lemon harvest in the desert area of California is about complete. Im-
proved sizing offset light damage from heavy rains in central and southern
areas. Harvest in those areas is increasing as fields dry. Rain delay-
ed picking of Arizona's lemons. By the end of December, about 70 per-
cent of the Arizona crop had been harvested. Fruit is of good size and
quality.

POTATOES: Winter potato production in Florida and California is forecast

at 5,352,000 hundredweight, 46 percent above 1965, 34 percent
above average and the largest since 1957. Florida, up 27 percent over last
year, is expected to have the largest crop since 1959. Production in
California is expected to be 59 percent over last year and the largest since
1961. Harvest is underway in the Everglades area of Florida and will get
underway in Ft. Myers-Immokalee srea late in January. Stends in Dade
County are good. Harvest of the California winter crop was delayed by
heavy rains in December and digging continues slow in Perris-Hemet and Kern
County areas. The crop in northern San Joaquin Valley has reached maturity.
Harvest in the State is expected to rise rapidly during January.

Growers intend to plant 127,700 acres of potatoes for late spring
harvest, 4 percent more than in 1965, and 8 percent above average. Acreage
is up in all major eastern areas. The Baldwin Alabama area shows the
largest increase--1l percent. Texas plantings are expected to be a fifth
larger than last year but prospective plantings are down slightly in
Arizona and unchanged in California. California is expected to account for
slightly over 40 percent of total acreage for the group. Rains have de-
layed plantings in California. However, unless the rains continue through
January, planting likely will be completed without difficulty. Plantings
also were light in Arizona in late December but are expected to be heavy
in January and early February. Heavy rainfall also slowed planting in
the San Antonio-Pearsall area in Texas. Soil and weather conditions are
favorable in the Baldwin area of Alabama and planting is expected to get
underway about the usual time in the last half of January.

POULTRY AND EGGS: Egg production during December totaled 5,434 million

eggs, slightly below December 1964 but up 3 percent
from the 1959-63 December average (48-State comparisons). Layer numbers
during December averaged 305.9 million, down 1 percent from December
1964, but up slightly from the preceding monthly average. Production per
layer averaged 17.8 eggs during December, a seasonal increase of 4
percent from a month earlier and up 1 percent from December 1964. May
through December, the rate of lay set a new high for each month. Total
egg production was 64,777 million eggs during 1965 compared with 64,546
million during 1964. This is record high annual production.

December egg production set record highs for the South Atlantic,
South Central, and Western regions. In the West North Central States
production was lowest since 1943, Regionel production was above a
year earlier, 8 percent in the South Central, 6 percent in the South
Atlantic, and 1 percent in the Western States, but was down 7 percent
in the West North Central, 5 percent in the East North Central, and 3
percent in the North Atlantic.

CITRUS: The U. S. orange crop is forecast at 132.2 million boxes, up 2 percent
from the December 1 forecast, 9 percent above last year and 14 per-

cent higher than average. In Florida and Texas, where weather has been

favorable for fruit growth, fruit has sized well and droppage has been light,

resulting in an increase over last month's production forecast, mostly in

Early and Midseason varieties. Prospective production in California and Arizona

is unchanged from December.

The Nation's 1965-66 grapefruit crop is expected to total 46.0 million
boxes, 12 percent above last season and 17 percent higher than average. An
increase of 4 percent from last month's estimate results from improved prospects
in Florida and Texas. California and Arizona forecasts are unchanged. Pro-
duction is expected to be above last year in all States except California, where
@ lighter crop of Desert Valleys' grapefruit is forecast. Lemon production in
California and Arizona is estimated at 17.2 million boxes, 10 percent more than
last month's forecast, 18 percent above the 1964-65 crop and 6 percent above
average. December rains in California helped sizing of fruit and improved
production prospects. Both California and Arizona expect larger crops than
last year.

Florida's tangerine crop is estimated at 3.7 million boxes, 5 percent less
than last season. Tangelos in Florida are forecast at 1.4 million boxes, up
40 percent from 1964-65.

In Florida, citrus groves are in excellent condition. Moisture is adequate,
but December temperatures were unseasonably warm and the usual dormancy has
not occurred. Tree growth has been only slightly retarded. Fruit growth
has been good and droppage light for all varieties. Orange harvest is making
good progress and movement is running a little ahead of last season. More
grapefruit have been picked than at the same date last year. A little less than
half of the grapefruit and three-fifths of the oranges harvested have been
utilized for processing. About three-fourths of the tangerines and three-fifths
of the tangelos were harvested by January 1.

In California, Navel oranges were slow in reaching maturity. Early fall
size was below normal, but November rain and warm weather improved sizing. Cold
nights during December advanced coloring and by the end of the month fruit was
in good condition. Shipments are expected to increase and to continue to mid-
dune. Valencia oranges are developing favorably. The set is lighter than last
season but fruit is sizing well. Little of this crop will be harvested before
April with movement continuing into early fall. Harvest of Desert Valleys’
grapefruit is running ahead of this date for recent seasons. Other Areas!
grapefruit is progressing well. Set and size are normal and light harvest is
expected to start in March.

In Arizona, wet weather during December slowed harvest of Navel oranges.
About 60 percent of the crop was picked by the end of the month. Valencia
harvest is expected to begin early in February. Rains also delayed grapefruit
harvest. Sizes are improving. Over 10 percent of the grapefruit was harvested
by the end of December. In Texas, abundant moisture and favorable temperatures
have increased fruit sizes above earlier expectations. Trees are in good
condition. Harvest of early and mid-season oranges will continue into
February.

CROP PRODUCTION, January 1966 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF JANUARY 1, 1966

Mild December weather favored the wind-up of the 1965 harvest over
most of the Nation, according to the Crop Reporting Board. Heavy rains
caused flooding in the extreme Southwest, but early winter precipitation
missed the dry eastern coast. Livestock were reported in good condition
and were making good use of crop residues and pastures. Supplemental
feeding was below normal especially in the Pleins States.

December milk production was 4 percent less than a year earlier
and egg output also dropped slightly. Citrus production in 1965-66 is
indicated to be 10 percent more than the previous year. Winter potato
production is expected to be up sharply from last year, but winter
vegetable output will be 3 percent smaller.

Farm stocks of the four feed grains on January 1 were 12 percent
more than a year earlier and 3 percent above average. Stocks of all
wheat on farms were 5 percent larger than last year. Soybeans held on
farms were at record levels -- 48 percent more than last year, 28 per-
cent above average, and 9 percent above the previous high on Jan. 1, 1964.
Farm stocks of hay were at near record levels, 13 percent more than last
year but 1 percent less than the previous high in 1959.

Most of the Nation was warmer than usual during December but below
normal temperatures were common west of the Rockies and in parts of the
East South Central States. Temperatures in the North Central Region
were 6 to 10 degrees above normal, in sharp contrast to sub-normal read-
ings in December 1964. A cold wave spread from the Rocky Mountains into
central United States about mid-month although temperatures were not
extreme and accom panying snow protected winter grain fields. The snow
lasted only a few days over much of the Plains area and snow cover at the
end of the month was limited to States along the Canadian Border.

Precipitation during December was below normal in the East except
for an area in North Florida and South Georgia. Rainfall in the drought
area along the Middle and North Atlantic coast fell farther behind
normal and subsoil moisture reserves for next year's crops need to be
replenished. In South Atlantic areas, favorable moisture supplies of
September have dwindled, and dry topsoils are limiting growth of
winter grains and pastures.
