The Arizona all orange forecast at 2.55 million boxes, is up 4 percent
from May 1, 42 percent more than last season. Arizona's harvest is complete.

Changes in U.S. orange production between the June 1 forecast and final
production averaged 3.69 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from
a low of 300 thousand boxes in 1977-78 to a high of 7.60 million boxes in the
1976-77 season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: Florida's FCOJ yield for the 1984-85

season is forecast at 1.38 gallons
per box at 42.0 degrees Brix equivalent. The yield forecast is an estimate of
the season average which will be reported at the end of the season by the
Florida Citrus Processors Association. The FCOJ yield projection last month
was 1.36 gallons per box. The final season average yield was 1.28931 gallons
per box for 1983-84 and 1.48305 gallons per box for 1982-83 at 42.0 degrees
Brix equivalent.

GRAPEFRUIT: The 1984-85 U.S. grapefruit forecast is 56.0 million boxes (2.05

million metric tons), fractionally Tower than the May 1 forecast,
but 5 percent above last season. Florida, at 44.2 million boxes, is down
fractionally from May 1, but 8 percent higher than last season. The
California "Desert Valleys" forecast remains at 4.10 million boxes, 23 percent
above the 1983-84 crop. The California "Other Areas" crop forecast continues
at 4.00 million boxes, 3 percent above last season. The Arizona forecast
continues at 3.70 million boxes, up 76 percent from 1983-84. Picking in
Florida is 99 percent complete, Arizona 82 percent complete, and California
54 percent.

LEMONS: The forecast for Arizona and California totals nearly 25.0 million
boxes (860 thousand metric tons), down 2 percent from MAY 1, but 17
percent more than last season. The California forecast at 19.3 million boxes,
is 3 percent less than the month earlier forecast, but 12 percent above last
season. Harvest is finished in Arizona, and 83 percent complete in California.

FLORIDA GENERAL CITRUS: Florida's commercial citrus groves are in relatively

good condition depending on location, cultural care,
and irrigation. Most citrus producing counties have received less than normal
rainfall for the first five months of 1985. Caretakers are irrigating to
replenish the badly depleted surface moisture levels. The new crop of fruit
for next season is set and is in very good condition. Due to the extremely
dry and warm weather during May there has been very little new growth.
Harvest of Valencia oranges, primarily for processing, has been very active
during May. Movement of seedless grapefruit slowed by the end of May as
supplies were running low.

TEXAS GENERAL CITRUS: The Rio Grande Valley received good rains during May,

alleviating irrigation needs. A good flush of new
growth continues. Good moisture and moderate temperatures have benefited
fruit set. Light droppage is reported.

CITRUS HARVEST AND UTILIZATION: By June 1, 135 million boxes of oranges were

harvested, 85 percent of the U.S. crop,
compared with 153 million boxes or 90 percent on June 1, 1984. Processors had
used 73 percent of oranges harvested by June 1, 1985 compared with 74 percent
a year ago.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1985 A-10 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Winter wheat was fair to mostly good. Ample moisture and warm temperatures
provided excellent growth and development throughout May in most areas except
the southeastern coastal States, northern mountain and northern plains States
where insufficient moisture slowed growth. The wheat was 85 percent headed in
16 of the 18 major producing States, 21 points ahead of 1984 and 11 points

above the average. Wheat harvest progressed ahead of normal in the southern
States.

Spring wheat seeding progressed rapidly during May. Seeding was 96
percent complete by May 19th, about two weeks ahead of normal. By month's end

plants were emerged on 97 percent of the acreage. Stands were mostly good
across the Nation.

Rice seeding advanced to 96 percent completed by June 2, slightly ahead
of last year and the average. Planting lagged behind normal in Arkansas and
Texas during most of May, but moved up to, or ahead of normal, as the month
came to a close.

Peanut planting was coming to an end in the southeast, as May drew to a

close. Peanuts in Georgia were 98 percent planted, with 30 percent of the
plants blooming.

RELIABILITY OF JUNE 1 WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST

The winter wheat production forecast in this report is based on mail and
objective yield surveys conducted just prior to June 1. Acreage for harvest
is based on information provided by both surveys. The yield estimate is based
on counts and measurements from a probability sample of wheat fields and on
mail reports from farmers on the condition and probable yield of the crop.
Both surveys are subject to sampling and non-sampling errors common to all
surveys. This production forecast is also subject to change due to growing
conditions that may affect the crop after June 1.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the June 1 winter wheat
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviation
between the June 1 production forecast and the final estimate as a percentage
of the final estimate, and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the
1965-1984 twenty-year period; 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 June 1 winter wheat production
forecast is 5.8 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast of 1.89 billion bushels will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 5.8 percent or approximately 110 million
bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 10.0 percent or approximately 189 million bushels.
Differences between the June 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 93 million bushels, ranging
from 15 million to 174 million bushels. The June 1 forecast has been below
the final estimate 8 times and above 2 times.

MAY WEATHER SUMMARY

Rain came.to much of the drought stricken northeastern section of the
nation. The rain was adequate for most of the agricultural interests but
water storage facilities were still very short. Dry weather persisted in most
of the southeast. A storm moved eastward from the northern High Plains through
the Great Lakes and to the mid-Atlantic States. The showers and thunderstorms
accompanying the storm brought much needed rain to parts of Montana and the
northern Plains but triggered ‘very severe weather from the upper Ohio Valley
into southern Ontario, Canada. Tornadoes in this area damaged property and
took many lives in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and in Canada. Thunderstorms
were widespread throughout the Plains. Flooding rain, hailstorms, and
tornadoes damaged isolated areas but high winds were more widespread throughout
the Plains. Most of the Nation had near normal temperatures but it was much
warmer-than-normal in the northern Plains. As the month ended, a hot spell
settled over the South and southeast. Record hot afternoon temperatures in
the southeast exacerbated dry conditions there. (Prepared by NOAA/USDA Joint
Agricultural Weather Facility.)

MAY FIELDWORK

Rain slowed fieldwork in early May across much of. the Corn Belt. By the
end of the month seeding and crop development had outpaced last year and the
average in most areas. Hot, dry weather presisted along the east coast,
California, and the northern mountain States throughout most of the month.
Soil moisture was generally adequate elsewhere.

At the end of April corn planting was 22 percent complete, nearly 4 times
greater than last year and double the 5-year average. Within one week,
planting surged 24 points to 46 percent completion. Shortly after mid-month,
90 percent of the corn was seeded, 20 points ahead of normal. Planting was
virtually complete in the South by mid-May. On June 2, corn was 98 percent
seeded in the 17 major producing the States, 9 points ahead of 1984 and 8
points ahead of the average. Corn was silking across the South as month
ended, with 47 percent silked in Georgia and 33 percent silked in Texas.

Soybean planting in the 19 major producing States was 76 percent finished
by June 2, compared with 50 percent in 1984 and the 55 percent average. Only
North and South Carolina were behind the normal planting pace as May ended.

The 7 major sorghum producing States had planted 67 percent of the crop by
June 2, 16 points ahead of last year and 14 points better than the 5-year
average. Planting was well ahead of normal in all the major States, with
Nebraska 40 points ahead of normal. Sorghum in Texas began turning color.

Cotton planting advanced to 88% completion at the start of June, 9 points
ahead of 1984 and 6 points ahead of the average. Seeding was 60 and 78
percent complete in Oklahoma and Texas, respectively. Planting was completed,
or neared completion in the other States. Squaring was becoming more
prevalent across the South.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1985 B-6 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


The Ohio Valley. through West Virginia to North Carolina expects no
significant commercial production because of winter freezes. New Jersey was
not as hard hit by the freezes as anticipated and New York generally escaped
winter damage.

The California Freestone crop, at 470 million pounds, is up 6 percent from
a year ago. The crop was about 13 percent harvested on June 1. Quality is
expected to be good and size above average. The Clingstone crop, at 1.02
billion pounds, is 2 percent less than last year. Quality is expected to be
good, although size may be smaller than normal.

BARTLETT PEARS: Production in California, Oregon and Washington is forecast
at 392 thousand tons (356 thousand metric tons), down 12
percent from 1984 and 15 percent from 1983.

California's expected production of 250 thousand ton is 17 percent less
than 1984. Cool winter temperatures resulted in an excellent spring bloom.
Set was lower than normal because of an unusually heavy blossom drop and cool
temperatures following bloom. The lighter set and ideal growing conditions
have resulted in excellent size.

The Oregon production forecast of 65.0 thousand tons is up 48 percent from
1984. Production is expected to be up in the Hood River area but down in the
Medford area. Crop condition is good, considering the April freezes. Weather
during bloom and pollination was outstanding, but trees are experiencing a
rather heavy drop.

Washington's expected production of 77.0 thousand tons is down 24 percent
from last year. Although orchards came through the winter in good shape,
April freezes with record lows caused much damage. Damage was most severe in
the Yakima Valley.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production is forecast at 4.50 million pounds

(2040 metric tons) for June, a 5 percent increase from May. Despite
the upturn from May, fresh utilization is still expected to be 12 percent
below the June 1984 output. Production is expected to decline to 3.90 million
pounds (1770 metric tons) in July and then up slightly to 4.00 million pounds
(1810 metric tons) in August. In September production is expected to be up to
4.40 million pounds (2000 metric tons).

Fresh output in May totaled 4.30 million pounds (1950 metric tons), a 19
percent increase fron April, but 28 percent below the May 1984 total. Total
crop area declined to 3715 acres (1500 hectares) in May, of which 2820 acres
{1140 hectares) were harvested, down 2 percent from the previous month.

ORANGES: The U.S. all orange forecast is 160 million boxes (6.14 million
metric tons) for 1984-85, fractionally above the May 1 forecast but,
6 percent below the 1983-84 season. The Florida all orange forecast is 104
million boxes, up 1 percent from the May forecast but, 11 percent less than
last season. Production of early and mid-season oranges was 55.0 million
boxes. Harvest is complete. The Florida Valencia forecast at 49.0 million
boxes, is 4 percent more than 1983-84. Harvest is 92 percent complete. The
California Navel forecast is 26.1 million boxes, 2 percent less than May 1
and, 22 percent below 1983-84. Harvest of the Navel crop is now complete.
California's Valencia forecast at 27.0 million boxes, is unchanged from May 1
and 80 percent above last season's small crop. Harvest is 23 percent complete.

WINTER WHEAT production forecast, as of June t, is 1.89 billion bushels (51.5
million metric tons), 8 percent less than 1984's 2.06 billion bushels (56.1
million metric tons). The 90 percent confidence interval for this
production forecast is 1.70 to 2.08 billion bushels.

ORANGE production is forecast at 160 million boxes, (6.14 million metric tons),
percent less than last season. Harvest is 85 percent complete.

PEACH production is forecast at 2.16 billion pounds (980 thousand metric tons),
8 percent Jess than last year but 17 percent more than 1983. The
California Clingstone crop, at 1.02 billion pounds, is 2 percent less than
last year.

BARTLETT PEARS in the Pacific Coast States are forecast at 392 thousand tons
6 thousand metric tons), down 12 percent from 1984 and 15 percent from
1983.

SWEET CHERRY production in the Western States is forecast at 96.8 thousand
tons (87.8 thousand metric tons), down 33 percent from a year ago and 39
percent from 1983.

ALMONDS: The forecast for the 1985 California almond crop continues at 510

million pounds (231 thousand metric tons) shelled basis, down 13
percent from the record high 1984 crop, but 111 percent above the small 1983
crop. Pollinator varieties are reportedly carrying heavier crops than the
Nonparlil variety, which set a record-high production levels last year. Yield
prospects appears better in the northern San Joaquin Valley than either the
southern San Joaquin or the Sacramento Valley.

SWEET CHERRIES: Production in the six western States is forecast at 96.8
thousand tons (87.8 thousand metric tons), down 33 percent
from a year ago and 39 percent from 1983.

The California crop, at 25.0 thousand tons, is down 33 percent from 1984.
Harvest should be complete the first week of June. Fruit quality has been
good with large sizes.

Oregon's crop, estimated at 31.0 thousand tons, is unchanged from a year
ago. There was some freeze damage and there are reports of some fruit
splitting.

Although the Washington crop came through the winter in normal condition,
April freezes reduced production. Damage was especially severe in the Yakima
Valley. The April freezes reduced production to 33.0 thousand tons, which is
less than half of last year's production.

TART CHERRIES: Production in Colorado, Oregon and Utah is forecast at 20.4

million pounds (9250 metric tons), up 45 percent from the 1984
crop but 35 percent less than the 1983 crop. Scattered spring freezes damaged
some of Colorado's tart cherries but not as severely as last year. Although
the set was lighter than normal in Oregon's Willamette Valley, prospects are
greatly improved over last year's disastrous crop.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: As of June 1, pasture and range feed con-
dition is 81 percent’ compared with 79 per-
cent last year and 83 percent for the 1974-83 average for the date. Conditions
were more favorable than last year in 20 States and less favorable in 28
States. Most States in the midwest and south into Texas, and the northeast
received ample moisture in May and these States are in the good to excellent
range. Montana's pasture and range condition was 51 percent of normal, the
lowest June 1 condition of record for the State. South Dakota’s ranges and
pastures were in severe drought condition across most of the western 2/3 of
the State and in the good to excellent range in the eastern 1/3. The statewide
average is 52 percent of normal, well below last year's 86 percent and the
10-year average of 72 percent. In the southeastern States, namely Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina, the pastures continued to deteriorate from lack
of rain, above normal temperatures and drying winds. These States are in the
very poor range.

POTATOES: Spring potato production is forecast at 24.2 million cwt (1.10 mil-

lion metrtic tons), up 2 percent from last year but fractionally
below the May 1 forecast. Dry weather in North Carolina, along with wind and
hail damage in Texas, contributed to lower yields. Area for harvest remains
at 91.1 thousand acres (36.9 thousand hectares), up 5 percent from last year.
The average yield is expected to come in at 266 cwt per acre, down 9 cwt per
acre from last year.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1985 A-12 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Grapefruit harvest was 92 percent complete by June 1 the same as June 1
last year. Processors had used 59 percent of the total crop harvested by June
1, and compares with 53 percent a year earlier.

Lemon harvest at the first of the month was 87 percent complete, compared
with 88 percent last season. Processors had utilized 57 percent of the crop
compared with 48 percent by June 1 last year.

APRICOTS: The first forecast for the 1985 U.S. Apricot crop is nearly 139
thousand tons (126 thousand metric tons), 9 percent higher than last
year, and 48 percent above 1983. California's crop is forecast at 135
thousand tons, 10 percent: more than last season and 51 percent above the small
crop produced in 1983. -California apricots are developing well with recent

cool weather helping to slow maturity. Fruit set is excellent and fruit sizes
are also expected to be very good.

NECTARINES: The first forecast for the California nectarine crop, is a record

high 200 thousand tons (181 thousand Metric tons), 9 percent
higher than last year, and 8 percent above 1983. The fruit set is very good
with better than normal fruit sizes also reported. The increase in production
is due to a yield slightly better than last year and an increase in bearing
acres. There appears to be some problem with fruit cracking in late
varieties. Harvest of early varities is underway with 5 percent up the total
crop harvested as of June 1. May Grand, one of the main varieties is just
beginning to be harvested.

ORIEO PRUNES: California production is forecast at 140 thousand tons (127

thousand metric tons), 5 percent less than last year and 3 per-
cent less than 1983. Size and quality are good, but set has been variable.
No problems with scale have been reported. The crop has benefited from the
warm spring.

PLUMS: California production is forecast at 180 thousand tons (163 thousand

metric tons), down 20 percent from last year but 14 percent above 1983.
Early varieties had a light set but mid-season and later varieties had a good
set. Quality is good with no significant wind damage.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1985 A-11 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA



WINTER WHEAT: Production as of June 1, 1985 is forecast at 1.89 billion

bushels (51.5 million metric tons). This is down 8 percent
from 1984's production of 2.06 billion bushels (56.1 million metric tons).
Yields are expected to average 39.1 bushels per acre, down 1.6 bushels from
May 1 and down 0.9 of a bushel from 1984. Area for harvest totals 48.4
million acres. (19.6 million hectares), 6 percent less than last year's 51.5
million acres (20.8 million hectares).

Winter wheat condition rated fair to good on June 1. Southwest and south
central Kansas need rain. Eastern Washington is very dry; cool temperatures
have delayed crop development. Wheat heading had progressed to 86 percent
completion in the 18 major producing States, 21 points ahead of a year ago.
Harvest was advancing ahead of average in southern States. Texas harvest was
active in the Blacklands and had extended into the Plains by June 2.

PEACHES: The forecast of 2.16 billion pounds (980 thousand metric tons), is
18 percent less than last year but 17 percent more than 1983.

The nine southern States expect to produce 369 million pounds, unchanged
from the May 1 forecast but 52 percent less than 1984. In South Carolina, the
crop was 4 percent harvested on June 1 compared with 2 percent harvested on
dune 1, 1984. Quality looks good but dry weather has slowed maturity of early
to mid-season peaches. The crop is about 14 percent harvested in Georgia
where there has been record high temperatures and almost no rain.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1985 A-2 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Long white harvest in California is 50 percent complete with excellent
yields and good quality. Centennial russet harvest is just beginning in the
Kern district. Variable weather factors will undoubtedly contribute to high
cullage and lower pack out grades. Arizona harvest is in full swing and will
remain active in July. Size and quality are excellent.

Harvest in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas was delayed by rain, but quality
remains good. Wind and hail damaged fields in the Knox-Haskell area. The
full extent of damage will be more evident with the start of harvest in
mid-June. In the San Antonio-Winter Garden area, harvest is half completed.
Yields are reduced as a result of earlier rain damage.

Florida harvest is 85 percent complete in the Hastings area. Harvest in
other Florida areas is complete, except for the Panhandle. Good May weather
aided digging and potatoes have been of good quality and size. Dry weather in
North Carolina cut prospects in major growing areas.

SWEETPOTATOES: 1984 REVISED: Production for 1984 totaled 13.0 million cwt
(589 thousand metric tons), 7 percent above

1983 but 12 percent below 1982. The final tally of sweetpotato production in
the U.S. came in fractionally lower than the January preliminary estimate
published in January. A smaller California crop was nearly offset by larger
movement in North Carolina. The area harvested totaled 104 thousand acres
(41.9 thousand hectares), a gain of 1 percent from 1983, but 10 percent short
of 1982. The average yield was 125 cwt per acre, up 7 cwt from the previous
year, but 4 cwt short of the record high set in 1982.

SUGAR CROPS - 1984 REVISED: Production of sugarbeets in 1984 totaled 22.2
million tons (20.1 million metric tons), up 6 per-
cent from the 21.0 million tons (19.0 million metric tons) produced in 1983.
The increase was the combined result of increased acreage and higher yield.
Growers harvested 1.10 million acres (444 thousand hectares) in 1984, 4
percent more than a year earlier. The average yield of 20.2 tons per acre in
1984 was 0.3 of a ton above the previous year.

Sugarcane processed for sugar in 1984 totaled 26.0 million tons (23.6
million metric tons), 4 percent less than in 1983. The decline reflects a 4
percent decline in acreage harvested. Area harvested for sugar totaled 701
thousand acres (284 thousand hectares) in 1984. Yield per acre averaged 37.1
tons for both the 1984 and 1983 crops.

Total 1984 sugar production from sugarcane and sugarbeets of 5.91 million
tons raw value (5.36 million metric tons) was up 5 percent from the 1983- output
of 5.63 million tons (5.11 million metric tons). The 3.01 million tons (2.73
million metric tons) raw value of sugar produced from cane was up 3 percent
from a year earlier. Sugarbeets sliced from the 1984 crop totaled 21.7
million tons (19.7 million metric tons), an increase of 5 percent from 1983.
Sugar (raw value) produced from the 1984 slice totaled 2.90 million tons (2.63
million metric tons), an increase of 8 percent from the low production of 1983.
