SPRING WEATHER REVIEW
(MARCH - MAY 1989)

HIGHLIGHTS: The spring of 1989 was noted for the unusual amount
of severe weather (see Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin Vol. 76,
No. 23, June 13, 1989). Outbreaks of severe storms brought
flooding, damaging winds, large hail, and tornadoes to much of the
eastern half of the Nation. Rainfall was particularly heavy in the
central Gulf Coast States, eastern Corn Belt, and along the middle
and northern Atlantic coast. Wet weather also prevailed in the
Northwest. Dry weather, however, remained over much of the western
Corn Belt, northern Plains, south Atlantic coast, and southern
Texas. Very warm weather dominated the West, while temperatures
averaged near to below normal across the northern Plains and the
eastern half of the United States.

MARCH: A major, late-season winter storm came ashore in the
Pacific Northwest and spread winter weather across much of the
Nation during the first of the month. The storm triggered severe
thunderstorms across the Southeast, freezing rain from the mid-
section of the country to the mid-Atlantic coast, and heavy snow
from Texas to the middle Mississippi Valley and in the central
Appalachians. Frigid air behind the storm dropped temperatures
below zero in the northern and central Plains. The steady flow of
jmoisture from the Pacific brought above-normal precipita ion into
the Northwestern States. During the latter part of the month, warm
moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and slow moving frontal systems
caused severe weather and heavy rain from the southern Plains to
the Middle and Southern Atlantic Coast States. Much needed rain
fell over winter wheat in the central Plains, while torrential rain
caused flooding in northeastern Texas. Generally dry conditions
again prevailed in the northern Corn Belt, Southwest, and
southeastern Florida, which received the least amount of rainfall
on record for the September to March period. The abnormally warm
weather in the West spread over much of the United States at
month's end and melted much of the snow cover across the Northern
ates.

APRIL: A stalled frontal system during the latter part of the
month was responsible for severe weather but brought much needed
rain over the spring wheat regions of the northern Plains, across
the Corn Belt, and to the mi “=Atlantic coast. At the same time,
hot, dry conditions prevailed over the hard red winter wheat in the
central and southern Plains. Showers and thunderstorms brought
soaking rains into the Southeast and along the Atlantic seaboard
throughout the month, while dry weather dominated much of the
remainder of the Nation. The West remained abnormally warn.

MAY: Severe thunderstorms brought drenching rains from the central
Plains to the central Gulf coast and from the Great Lakes and
middle Mississippi Valley to the northern and middle Atlantic
coast, These storms dumped torrential rain and caused severe
flooding in the Red River Valley of the South and eastern Corn
Belt. Dry weather covered much of the northern Plains,
northwestern Corn Belt, and the southern Atlantic seaboard. Omaha,
NE, received the least amount of precipitation for the month on

record. Temperatures were abnormally high in the Southwest,
southern Plains, southern Florida, northern Plains, and New
England. Cool weather prevailed over the eastern Corn Belt and

central and southern Appalachians.

Winter wheat was mostly fair to poor during June. At the
beginning of the month, harvest was underway in California,
Georgia, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas. By mid-month,
harvest waS underway in 8 of the 20 major producing States. Rain
delayed the start of harvest in Kansas. Rain hampered harvest
during the month in the central and southern Great Plains, Delta,
and the Southeast. Near the end of June, harvest began in the
western Corn Belt. Spring wheat was mostly good to fair during
June. By mid-month, heading had begun but lagged behind normal.
At the end of June, heading was behind normal in the major
producing States except in South Dakota.

CORN: Corn planted for all purposes is estimated at 72.8 million

acres, up 8 percent from last year, but 1 percent below
March Intentions. Growers expect to harvest 65.8 million acres for
grain, 13 percent above last year. This is slightly more than 90
percent of the planted acreage.

The largest acreage increases from last year were: Iowa -
1.40 million; Illinois = 1.00 million; Nebraska ~ 600 thousand; and
Minnesota - 500 thousand.

In the South, Texas growers planted 150 thousand more acres
than last year. In North Carolina, acreage is expected to be up
20 thousand: Kentucky growers intend to plant 30 thousand more

an in 1988.

In other areas, Colorado is expecting an increase of 160
thousand acres and New York is up 100 thousand acres from last
year.

Corn planting got off to a good start and at the end of May
progress was only 4 points behind the 5-year average. Excessive
rains in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania delayed plantings. At
the end of May plantings were 20 points below normal in Indiana,
62 points behind in Ohio, and 37 points below in Pennsylvania.

CORN IRRIGATED: Growers intend to irrigate 9.7 million acres of

corn during 1989 based on results from the area
frame survey conducted during the first two weeks of June. This
compares with 8.7 million acres last year and 8.5 in 1987. These
indications do not represent official estimates of the Agricultural
Statistics Board, but provide raw data as obtained from survey
respondents.

SORGHUM: Area planted for all purposes is expected to total 11.9

million acres, up 15 percent from 1988. Sorghum for
grain is estimated at 10.6 million acres, an 18 percent increase
over last year. If these levels hold, both will be the highest in
three years.

Kansas plantings progress reached 90 percent as of July 2, 5
points behind the 5-year average. Early stands are making good
growth with few problems noted. Scattered heavy rains washed out
some fields in early June. Planting progress proceeded slowly in
Nebraska after a late-April start; topsoil moisture was_ short.
Plantings moved ahead of last year's pace by the end of May and
finished around June 25. The crop rated 57 percent fair and 38
percent good as of July 2. Sorghum planting in Texas reached 96
percent completion as of July 2. This trails average by just a
point. Stands look good in the Cross-Timbers and Plains, but rain
is needed soon. Fields in parts of central Texas and the
Blacklands are turning color rapidly.

Production of Freestone peaches in California is estimated at
510 million pounds, pnchange from June but 2 percent below the
1988 crop. Harvest is in full swing with around one-half of the
crop picked. California clingstone production is forecast at 1.02
billion Pounds, unchanged from the June forecast and up slightly
from last year's production. Picking is underway in the Kingsburg-
Visalia area.

PAPAYAS: Fresh Papaya production from Hawaii is forecast at 6.20

million pounds in July, 13 percent higher than July 1988.
Output is expected to remain at the 6.20 million pound level for
August, dip to 5.50 million pounds in September then rise to 5.80
miilion pounds in October.

Fresh sales in June are estimated at 6.04 million pounds, 5
percent higher than May and 32 percent higher than last June.
Light showers and ample sunshine, during June, were ideal for
papaya production. January-June fresh sales were 35 percent higher

han the same period of 1988.

Crop area totaled 4240 acres in June, virtually unchanged from
May but percent lower than a year ago. Harvested area, totaling
2560 acres in June, was 5 percent higher than May and 15 percent
higher than last June.

PEARS: The Nation's pear forecast is 844 thousand tons, down 2
percent from last year and 10 percent less than 1987.

BARTLETT tonnage in California, Oregon, and Washington is
forecast at 485 thousand tons, down 4 percent from last year.
Harvest has begun in California. The crop remains in good to
excellent condition. Quality has been excellent but fruit size has
been small. Washington's crop remains in good condition.

Production of OTHER THAN BARTLETT pears in the Pacific Coast
States is forecast at 320 thousand tons, up fractionally, from 1988.
California's crop is in good condition. Fruit quality is good and
size larger than normal. The crop appears to be very clean _and
harvest .should begin in early August. Washington's crop is clean
this year. There are no reported cases of fire blight this year
like last year.

Pears look good in Colorado despite some late freeze damage.
There have been no reports of disease in the Pennsylvania crop.

GRAPES: The California all grape crop is expected to total 5.20
million tons, 5 percent below 1988 but 12 percent greater
than the 1987 crop. The crop is maturing normally.

Raisin type grape production in California is initially
forecast at 2.45 million tons, 4 percent below last year but 13
percent more than 1987. The forecast is based on 271 thousand
acres. There is no Raisin Industry Diversion Program (RID) for
1989. Last year, 25.0 thousand acres were enrolled in the RID.
The expected iela of 9.04 tons per acre this year is down 13
percent from the final 1988 yield. Harvesting of Thompson Seedless
grapes for fresh market was virtually complete in the Coachella
Valley by July 1.

The California wine type grape forecast is 2.05 million tons,
6 percent below 1988 but 5 percent above two years ago. Bearing
acreage is estimated at 293 thousand acres, 1 percent less than a
year ago. The 1989 expected yield, at 7.00 tons per acre, is down
5 percent from last year. Conditions have been generally favorable
for the 1989 wine grape crop.

The North Carolina crop is expected to be later than usual and
harvest staggered because of an unfavorable planting season.
Transplanting was about two weeks later than normal because of
cool, wet weather through the spring. The South Carolina crop is
maturing later than usual. About 30 percent was topped by July 1
compare: to the usual 55 to 60 percent. Georgia growers
transplanted their crop in a timely manner with favorable weather.
Nearly all of the growing area has favorable moisture and the crop
has high potential.

Burley area for harvest increased 13 percent to reach 255
thousand acres. Kentucky, with two-thirds of the acreage, is 15
percent above their 1988 total. Tennessee, the next ranking State,
is up 7 percent from last year. Transplanting of the crop was
slowed by wet weather over much of the producing area. Some
scarcity of plants was also noted.

Acreage of the dark-fired types grown in Kentucky, Tennessee,
and Virginia increased 20 percent from a year ago. The dark
air~cured types produced in the same States are up 25, percent.
Maryland type, grown in Maryland and Pennsylvania, is off 7
percent. The total of all cigar types is 6 percent above last
year's acreage. Acreage increases for binder and wrapper types was
partly offset by a decrease in filler type acreage.

SUGARBEETS: Area of sugarbeets planted in 1989 is estimated at

133.3 million acres, up slightly from 1988. Reduced
acreage is expected in California, North Dakota, and Minnesota
which are off 9, 2, and 1 percent, respectively. Planted acreage
in Idaho exceeds last year by 7 percent. Michigan's planted
acreage is up 2 percent from a year ago.

Minnesota growers replanted some acreage thinned by wind and
rain. North Dakota growers complete@ planting the third week of
May, two weeks later than last year but still ahead of the 5-year
average. Idaho Planting was complete the first week of May.
slightly ahead of average. Thinning is nearly complete. The
Michigan crop is doing well with good to excellent stands. Wyoming
beets were mostly planted by mid-May and 50 percent had emerged.
Irrigation water is short over much of the growing area but most
growers will give water use on beets high priority. Isolated
fields in Texas sustained wind and hail damage but overall the crop
is in good condition.

SUGARCANE FOR SUGAR AND SEED: Growers intend to harvest a record

high 863 thousand acres of sugar-
cane for sugar and seed in 1989. If realized, this acreage will
be 2 percent greater than the previous record high of 845 thousand
acres harvested in 1988. Acreage is up in the 3 mainland sugarcane
producing States but off in Hawaii.

The Florida crop has done well this spring but the growing
area has been dry, so irrigation has been needed. If it stays dry,
the supply of irrigation water could become a problem. In Hawaii,
the wet spring slowed harvesting but drier weather the last couple
of months has allowed some catc! ing up on harvesting. A very wet
season in Louisiana has benefited the crop, which is in excellent
condition. Growers are currently plowing fallowed land for
planting this fall. Dry weather in Texas has increased the need
for irrigation.

California had ideal planting weather and finished about July
1. Idaho growers were still planting a few fields in late June.
Washington beans were planted on a normal schedule, but later than
a year ago. Crop progress is mostly good.

ALL POTATOES: U.S. potato growers planted an estimated 1.28 mil-

lion acres of potatoes this year in all four

seasonal groups. This is a gain of 1 percent from last year but

1, percent short of two years ago. Area for harvest, at 1.25

nt lion acres, is up 1 percent from last year but 2 percent below
87.

FALL POTATOES: Planted acreage is estimated at 1.09 million

acres, up 1 percent from last year but 2 percent
below 1987. Acres for harvest, at 1.06 million acres, are up
fractionally from 1988 but 2 percent below 1987.

Producers in SIX EASTERN STATES have planted 137 thousand
acres, down 1 percent from last year and 5 percent below 1987.
Harvested acreage is forecast at 134 thousand. Maine acreage of
81.0 thousand acres planted is the same as last year but down 4
percent from 1987. New York plantings of 30.0 thousand acres is
off 5 percent from 1988. Pennsylvania, acreage dropped 2 percent
to 21.0 thousand acres. Growing conditions have been generally
favorable in the East, except for heavy June rains and flooding in

ew York.

EIGHT CENTRAL STATES producers have planted 323 thousand acres
of fall potatoes, 2 percent short of 1988 and 4 percent below 1987.
Harvest should cover 309 thousand acres, down 3 and 5 percent from
last year and the year before, respectively. The planted acreage
in both North Dakota and Minnesota dropped 4 percent from last
year. Those States report good progress so far this year. Heavy
rains in Michigan flooded out some fields and slowed progress
generally. Planted acres dropped 6 percent and harvested acres
will likely fall 10 percent from last year. Wisconsin growers have
a planted acreage increase of 11 percent and the highest acreage
in 40 years,

The NINE WESTERN STATES fall potato acreage is estimated at
627 thousand acres, up 2 percent from last year and fractionally
more than two years ago. The acreage planted in each of the
western States is the same or more than last year, except Utah.
Utah high seed potato prices and alternative crops reduce acreage
19 percent. Area for harvest in the region is forecast at 621
thousand acres, up 2 percent from last year. Idaho growers planted
355 thousand acres, up 1 percent from last year. ‘Oregon acreage
jumped 13 percent but is 7 percent short of 1987. Washington and
Colorado each gained 3 percent; while California, Nevada, and
Wyoming remained at last year's level. The acreage in Montana,
mostly for seed, showed a gain of 1 percent from last year.
Condition of potatoes in the West is generally good and growers are
encouraged by the recharging of irrigation water during the winter.

SUMMER POTATOES: Production of summer potatoes is forecast at 21.9

million cwt, up 8 percent from last year, but 4
percent short of two years ago. Area for harvest, at 93.4 thousand
acres, is up 1 percent from last year, but 7 percent below 1987.
The average yield, calculated at 235 cwt per acre, will be up 7
percent if the season progresses normally.

JUNE WEATHER SUMMARY

During the last week, Tropical Storm Allison formed in the
western Gulf from the remains of Pacific Hurricane Cosme after
crossing Mexico. Allison and her remnants then spawned tornadoes
and dumped torrents of rain over the central Gulf coast and across
the Southeast causing massive flooding. Several cities (Birming-
ham, AL; Shreveport, LA) had their highest rainfall total ever for
the month. Winnfield, LA was pelted with 30.22 inches, also a
record. Severe thunderstorms produced torrential rain in the
central Plains and down the Atlantic seaboard with several stations
again reporting records for the month (Oklahoma City, OK and
Lynchburg, VA). In contrast, dry weather prevailed over much of
the northern Plains and western Corn Belt. Temperatures were
anomalously warm in the West and along the eastern seaboard while
cool air persisted over the central and southern Plains. (Prepared
by NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)

1989 SPRING CROP PROGRESS

Lack of moisture stressed winter wheat in the central and
southern Great Plains during most of January. In the second week
of the month, rain brought some relief to winter wheat in portions
of eastern Texas. Snowfall provided needed moisture and protection
in portions of central Oklahoma. In the third week o January,
rain improved winter wheat conditions in central and eastern Texas
but the Plains and Cross Timbers area remained dry. In the last
week of the month, rain brought some relief in portions of the
central and southern Great Plains but. additional moisture was
needed. Greenbug damage was a continuing problem due to above-
normal temperatures. In the northern Great Plains, snow cover was
mostly adequate early in the month. By month's end, snow cover was
needed in all areas except in Montana and North Dakota, where it
was still mostly adequate. Winter wheat was mostly good to fair
in the Corn Belt but lacked snow cover. In the Delta and
Southeast, winter wheat was mostly good. Planting was complete by
mid-month in Georgia. Planting’ continued in California during
January. In Arizona, rain slowed planting early in the month bu
was nearly complete by month's end. The emerged crop condition was
good. exas cotton harvest was virtually complete in earl
January. By mid-month, cotton harvest was complete in Arizona an
California and land Preparation for the 1989 crop had begun. Rain

slowed land preparation for spring planting in the Delta during
most of January.

Early in February, extremely cold temperatures damaged winter
wheat in portions of the central and southern Great Plains. Winter
wheat was mostly poor to fair in Kansas. About mid-month, rain
improved conditions in portions of the central and southern Great
Plains. Lack of moisture continued to stress winter wheat in the
western areas of Kansas and Oklahoma, and the High Plains area of
Texas. in the southern Great Plains, below-normal temperatures
slowed winter wheat growth but reduced insect activity. In the
northern Great Plains, snow cover provided mostly adequate
protection during periods of cold temperatures. Winter wheat was
mostly fair in Montana and Nebraska. Wind damage remained light
in Colorado and Montana. Early in February, cold temperatures and
limited snow cover damaged winter wheat in portions of the Pacific
Northwest. Russian wheat aphid activity was reduced. Winter wheat
was mostly good to fair in the Corn Belt, Southeast, and Delta
during February. Flooding was a problem in low lying areas of
western Kentucky and Tennessee during the third week of the month.

,Yleld prospects have improved from last month in Idaho and
Washington, but declined in Oregon. Yield expectations are also
up from last month in Michigan.

Harvest progress in the soft red winter States of Arkansas,
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio trails average progress.
Indiana and Missouri yields improved while Illinois now expects a
lower average.

Rains since mid-June have caused delays in the Kansas harvest
due to wet fields and high humidity. Nebraska's winter wheat
condition improved during June; harvest has not yet started in the
major producing areas. Remaining acreage for harvest in Oklahoma
is wet and/or weedy. The Texas harvest was about three-fourths

complete by July 2, slightly behind average progress. Most
unharvested area is in the Plains. Yields continue to be
disappointing.

DURUM WHEAT: Production for 1989 is forecast at 111 million

bushels as of July 1. This is up 148 percent from
last year's drought reduced crop. Yields are expected to average
30.7 bushels per acre, up 15 bushels from 1988. Area for grain is
estimated at 3.62 million acres, up 27 percent from last season.
Seeded area is 3.69 million acres, up 11 percent. Both acreage
levels are the highest since 1982.

. Harvested area is up in all estimating States, except
Minnesota. Expected yields are up in all States except California.
Harvest in Arizona and California was virtually complete by July
1. Test weights were lower in California, but overall quality is
better than recent years. North Dakota's crop development trails
the 55) ear average; as of July 2, 75 percent of the crop rated good
or e er.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: Production for 1989 is forecast at 544 million

bushels, up 165 ercent from 1988, and the
highest level since 1982. Yields are forecast at 31.3 bushels per
acre, up 11.8 bushels per acre from last season's drought reduced
level. Acres for grain total 17.4 million acres, up 65 percent
from 1988, Planted area is 17.8 million acres, up 33 percent from
a year ago. Both acreage levels are the highest since 1953.

Growers in most States are expecting higher average yields
than in 1988. Wyoming yield prospects equal last year. Oregon,
Utah, and Washington expectations are less than last season's.
Harvested area iS up in all States except Nevada. Montana's
production forecast is a record high.

RICE: Plantings totaled 2.77 million acres in 1989, 5 percent be-

low the 2.93 million acres planted in 1988. Producers plan
to harvest 2.75 million acres in 1989 compared with 2.90 million
acres harvested in 1988. Area planted decreased in all States
except Missouri.

, Area of long grain rice planted is down 8 percent from 1988.
Medium grain acreage planted is up 2 percent and acres planted to
short grain rice are up 11 percent.

Rice planting was virtually complete at the beginning of June.
A few acres remain to be planted in Louisiana and Mississippi. Rice
was mostly good to fair during June. By the end of the month,
heading had begun in Louisiana and Texas.

In North Carolina, planting advanced 25 points during the last week
of the month but was still 29 points behind normal. cotton
planting progressed at a near normal pace during April. Lack of
moisture slowed growth in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Rain
slowed planting in the Delta and Southeast. At mid-month, plantin

was more than 10 points behind normal in Alabama, Georgia, Nort

Carolina, and South Carolina. By April 30, planting was 33%
complete, 2 points ahead of normal. Rain continue to slow
planting in the Southeast but was near or ahead of normal
elsewhere. Planting was 24 points and 36 points behind normal in
North Carolina and South Carolina, respectively. By the end of
April, sorghum planting was 20% complete, 1 point ahead of normal.
Planting was underway in all major producing States except Kansas
and South Dakota. Rice planting was 57% complete, 5 points ahead
of normal by the end of April. enty-six percent of the crop was
emerged, slightly behind normal. Planting progress was normal or
ahead of normal ‘except in Louisiana, where planting was 8 points
behind normal. Soybean planting was just getting started as the
month ended. Spring wheat planting advanced slow y during April.
By mid-month, planting was more than 10 points behind normal in 4
of the 5 major producing States. By the end of April, planting was
26% complete, 22 points behind normal. Planting progress was more
than 20 points behind normal in Minnesota, Montana, and North
Dakota. Planting progress was near normal in Idaho and South
Dakota, At the beginning of April, winter wheat was mostly fair.
Condition deteriorated in the central and southern Great Plains and
Pacific Northwest as fields broke dormancy and winterkill became
more evident.

Lack of moisture stressed winter wheat in the central and
southern Great Plains during the month. Near the end of April,
rain relieved moisture stress in the northern Great Plains. By the
end of April, winter wheat was mostly fair to poor in the 20 major

producing States. Rain slowed fieldwork in the eastern Corn Belt
and portions of the Delta and Southeast during May. Soil moisture
was adequate to surplus in those areas. In the central and

southern Great Plains, soil moisture was mostly short to adequate
in early May. During the last half of the month, rain improved
soil moisture in the central and southern Great Plains and the
western Corn Belt. In the northern Great Plains and the West, soil
moisture was mostly adequate to short. At the beginning of May,
corn planting was 25% complete, 3 points behind normal. Rain
slowed planting in the eastern Corn Belt and portions of the Delta
and Southeast. By the end of May, planting was 89% complete, 4
points behind normal. Planting was 20 points and 62 points behind
normal in Indiana and Ohio, respectively. Planting was complete
in Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, and Texas and nearl complete in
Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, and Nebraska. Cotton planting lagged
behind normal in the Delta and Southeast during May. About mid-
month, cool temperatures slowed germination and growth in the
Delta. Hail and heavy rains forced some replanting. By the end
of May, planting was 73% complete, slightly behind the 76% average,
Planting was complete in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and
Tennessee and nearly complete in Alabama and Missouri. Soybean
planting was underway in all major producing States except
Minnesota and North Carolina by the end of the first week in May.
By the end of May, planting was 55% complete, 3 points behind
normal, Planting progress was near or ahead of normal in the major
producing States except in Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, and Ohio. Rain slowed planting in the eastern Corn Belt
and portions of the Delta and Southeast during the month.

Planting was 30 points and 58 points behind normal in Indiana
and Ohio, respectively. Sorghum p anting was underway in all 11
major producing States by the end of the first week in May.

RYE: Seeded area is estimated at 2.08 million acres; area for

rain at 517 thousand acres. Both acreages are down 15
percent from 1988 and both are at record low levels. Harvested
area is up in South Dakota and unchanged in Georgia. Minnesota and
Nebraska's harvested areas are down from 1988. Extended drought
last fall greatly reduced North Dakota's seeded area leading to the
plunge in acres for grain.

SOYBEANS: Acreage planted to soybeans in 1989 is estimated at 61.3

. million, up 4 percent from last year and 6 percent
higher than 1987. The June 1 estimate is 1 percent below the March
1 Prospective Plantings. The North Central Region accounted for

43.6 million acres, up 2 percent from 1988 plantings. Indiana,
Iowa, and Nebraska showed the largest increases in the region, up
300, 250, and 200 thousand acres, respectively. Missouri,

Minnesota, Ohio, and South Dakota each increased between 100 and
150 thousand acres, while Illinois showed no change. Kansas,
Michigan, North Dakota, and Wisconsin planted less acreage this
year than in 1988.

Soybean plantings in the South Central States totaled 12.1
million acres, 9 percent above last year. Acreage increases were
recorded in 7 out of 8 States in the region. Arkansas increased
250 thousand acres, Kentucky is 220 thousand acres higher, and
Texas is up 260 thousand acres. Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee,
and Alabama are up 100, 50, 80, and 60 thousand acres,
respectively. Oklahoma showed no change from 1988.

Atlantic Region producers planted 5.65 million acres in 1989,
15 percent more than last year. North Carolina and Georgia, the
largest States in the region, increased plantings by 80 and 270
thousand acres, respec ively. South Carolina, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Florida, and New Jersey showed respective
increases of 180, 105, 30, 25, 40, and 25 thousand acres. Virginia
planted 30 thousand acres less this year than in 1988.

Soybean planting progress started behind normal in_ most
States, especially the eastern Corn Belt and Southeastern States
due to extremely wet conditions. By the end of May, over half the
crop had been planted. Indiana and Ohio, however, continued to lag
well behind normal planting progress as rain persisted. Western
Corn Belt States were near or ahead of normal planting progress by
early June. By July 2, 93 percent of the crop was planted,
compared with 96 percent a year earlier and the Seyear average of
97 percent for that date. The crop was rated mostly good to fair
on July 2, better than the fair to poor rating of the 1988 crop for
the same date.

FLAXSEED: Area planted to flaxseed in the 3 major States

,totaled 230 thousand acres in 1989, 16 percent below
1988 plantings and the lowest planted area on record. Harvested
area is estimated at 223 thousand acres, just 1 percent below the
drought stricken area harvested in 1988.

North Dakota plantin is were down 30 thousand acres; South
Dakota planted 10 thousand acres less; and Minnesota was down 5
thousand acres from 1988.

Flaxseed condition on July 2 was mostly good to fair.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT AND NUTS: California's fruit harvest was active

. during June as crops ripened in many
areas. Apricot growers were busy harvesting in the San Joaquin
Valley. Bagging of dates began in Riverside County in late June.
Harvesting of Perlette variety table grapes began in the San
Joaquin Valley while Coachella Valley harvest was virtually
completed by July 1. Grape growers in the San Joaquin Valley
treated vineyards to control pests and mildew damage. Harvesting
of freestone peaches, plums, and nectarines progressed. Harvesting
of Asian pears got underway in Fresno County. Bartlett pear
harvest was expected to begin in Sacramento County in mid-July.
Picking of grapefruit was active in Riverside County. The Valencia
orange harvest continued in the San Joaquin Valley.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: The pasture and range feed

condition on July 1 for the 48
contiguous States was 77 percent, 3 points above June 1. The July
1, 1988 condition was 46 percent and the 1978-87 average is 83
ercent, Conditions were better than last month in 26 States,
e@low last month in 15 States and unchanged in 7 States.

Only three States, Nebraska, New Mexico, and Utah, reported
pasture and range feed condition in the severe drought range. All
States east of the Mississippi River were in the poor to fair range
or better, with most in the good to excellent range.

Five States, Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico, and
Utah, had conditions worse than July 1988.

In the Southeast, only Florida had pasture condition below
the good to excellent range.

APPLES: The Nation's apple crop, forecast at 9.69 billion pounds,
is 6 percent more than last year's crop but 10 percent
less than the record 1987 crop.

The forecast for the Eastern States, at 2.60 billion pounds,
is down 13 percent from last year. The crop is sizing nicely in
the Lake Ontario region of New York. Maturity is about 7 to 10
days later than normal. There was some frost damage in the Hudson
Valley where pollination was hampered by rainy, windy conditions.
The North Carolina Srop is spotty: Some growers expect a full crop
while some growers lost their entire crop in the early May freezes.
Frost damage and cool, wet weather during pollination reduced
prospects in Pennsylvania. Frost and freeze damage, combined with

ail, lowered Virginia's potential.

The Central States forecast, at 1.47 billion pounds, is up 19
ercent from 1988. Despite a May freeze and cold weather, which
indered pollination, Michigan expects a larger harvest than last

year's drought reduced crop. Set appears to be better than earlier

expectations. The fruit is remarkably clean inspite of growing
conditions that are conducive to diseases. The orchards in Ohio
escaped last year's drought in better condition than expected.

Production in the Western States is forecast at 5.62 billion
pounds, up 14 percent from a year ago. In Washington, orchards
came through the winter with minimal damage. An excellent "king"
bloom and nice drop were reported. California and Oregon crops
are in good condition.

PEACHES: U.S. peach production is forecast at 2.33 billion

pounds, down 2 percent from the June 1 forecast and down
11. percen from 1988. The Freestone crop, which excludes
California Clingstone peaches that are mostly canned, is expected
to total 1.31 billion pounds, down 3 percent from June 1 and 18
percent less than last year.

Production in South Carolina is forecast at 265 million
Pounds ; down 15 percent from the June forecast and 22 percent below
he crop of a year earlier. Frequent rainstorms, accompanied by
strong winds and hail during June, were very detrimental to the
crop: The Georgia crop is forecast at 125 million pounds,
unchanged from the forecast of a month earlier but 11 percent below
1988 production. Unfavorable weather, in the form of excessive
moisture, continued through June. Harvest was running just behind
normal at month's end.

WALNUTS: The initial 1989 forecast for California walnuts is 220

thousand tons, 7 percent above last year's production but
11 percent lower than 1987. The crop is in good condition. The
set for the Serr, Payne and Ashley varieties is above average,
while the Hartley variety has encountered a large drop.

ORANGES: The final forecast for U.S. all oranges is 207 million
boxes, virtually unchanged from the June 1 forecast but
4 percent greater than last season. The Florida all orange
forecast is 147 million boxes, up 300 thousand boxes from June 1
and 6 percent more than last season, The final Florida Valencia
forecast is 61.3 million boxes, virtually unchanged from last
month's forecast but 3 percent above last season. Valencia harvest
was almost complete by the end of June. The California all orange
forecast is 57.0 million boxes, unchanged from last month but 3
percent below the 1987~88 season. California's Valencia forecast
remained at 23.0 million boxes, 16 percent below last season's
crop. Harvest is about 40 percent complete. The all orange
forecast for Arizona is expected to total 1.70 million boxes, 10
percent above last month but 6 percent below the previous year.

The July 1 U.S. all orange forecast has deviated from actual
production by an average of 2.72 million boxes over the past ten
seasons, ranging from a low of 900 thousand boxes in both the 1984-
Hd and 1978-79 seasons to a high of 5.88 million boxes in the 1980-

season.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1988-89 Florida all

orange frozen concen-
trated juice yield forecast is 1.53 gallons per box of 42.0 degree
Brix equivalent, unchanged from last month's projection. The
forecast is projected to estimate the final yield as reported by
the Florida Citrus Processors Association.

GRAPEFRUIT: The final forecast for the 1988-89 U.S. grapefruit
crop is 69.6 million boxes, 1 percent below the June
1 forecast but 2 percent above 1987-88.

LEMONS: The California and Arizona crop is expected to total 20.3

million boxes, down 7 percent from the April 1 forecast
and 2 percent below the 1987-88 season. Harvest is nearing
completion.

FLORIDA CITRUS: The first half of June was very hot and dry with

oo . only a few scattered rains. There was consider-
able irrigation in all areas. Regular afternoon rains and
thunderstorms started around the middle of the month and have
continued. Most irrigation has been reduced or stopped. The hard
rains and hot weather have produced an abundance of new growth on
trees of all ages. New crop fruit is making good progress with
sizes varying in most areas due to ve early and later blooms.
Harvest of Valencia oranges was virtually complete by the end of
dune and supplies were running low. Grapefruit movement was about
over at the end of the month with only a few small blocks remaining
in Indian River and St. Lucie Counties. Caretakers have been very
busy controlling cover crops that have made good early summer
growth. Spraying and fertilizing continue in all areas.

. Mid-June rains were beneficial to Oklahoma's sorghum; the cro
is rated in mostly good condition. South Dakota's sorghum rate
generally in fair to good condition; planting reached 95 percent
as of Ju x 2. _Replan ing of some Arkansas sorghum was necessary
due to wet conditions and hail damage in mid-May.

OATS: The first forecast of 1989 oat production indicates a crop

of 388 million bushels, up 77 percent from last year's
drought reduced crop. “If realized, this would be largest crop
since 1985, when 521 million bushels were produced. Yields are
expected to average 52.6 bushels per acre, 13.5 bushels more than
last year. Oats planted last fall and this spring totaled 12.1
million acres, down 13 percent from 1988. Iowa has the largest
planted acreage with 1.60 million acres, a sharp decrease from last
year. The reduced set-a-side requirements for the feed grain
program has reduced the need for oats as a cover crop in several
States. Other States showing large acreage reductions from last
year include Illinois and Minnesota.

Area to be harvested for grain is expected to total 7.37
million acres, 32 percent more than last year.

The crop in Iowa was seeded on schedule, but development has
been behind normal. The South Dakota crop is in fair condition,
with near normal development.

BARLEY: Production is forecast at 445 million bushels as of suly
1, 1989. This is 53 percent above the drought reduce
1988 production of 291 million bushels. Yields are expected to
average 51.3 bushels per acre, 12.7 bushels more than last year.
Seedings of barley last fall and this spring totaled 9.28 million
acres, a decrease of 4 percent from last year. North Dakota
continues to lead all States with 2.80 million acres planted, up
200 thousand acres from a year ago. Montana growers seeded 1.70
million acres of barley, 100 thousand acres less than last year.

.,,,zhe area to be harvested for grain is expected to total 8.66
million acres, 15 percent more than last year.

Montana's barley crop is in good to excellent condition but
is late. The South Dakota crop is slightly ahead of normal with
89 percent headed as of July 2. In North and South Carolina wet
weather has slowed harvest.

ALL WHEAT: Total production for 1989 is forecast at 2.12 billion

bushels, up 17 percent from 1988. Area for grain is
expected to total 63.5 million acres, up 19 percent from last year.
All wheat yield is expected to average 33.4 bushels per acre, off
0.7 bushels from 1988. Area seeded last fall and this spring is
placed at 76.8 million acres, up 17 percent from last year to the
ighest total since 1984.

WINTER WHEAT: Production is forecast at 1.46 billion bushels as

of July 1, 1989. This is down 6 percent from last

ear's production, but up 4 percent from the June 1 forecast.

ncreased area for grain caused the rise from June 1 as yield

prospects actually declined slightly. Yields are now expected to

average 34.4 bushels per acre, down 4.8 bushels from last year and
off 0.1 bushels from June 1.

Acreage for grain is now placed at 42.5 million acres, up 7
percent from last season. Seeded area is estimated at 55.2 million
acres, up 13 percent from 1988.

Dry soil conditions slowed planting in the central and southern
Great Plains in early May. Rain slowed Planting in the Delta
during the month. By the end of May, planting was 52% complete,
3 points ahead of normal. Rice planting was 95% complete, equal
to the average, by the end of gay Planting was complete in Texas
by mid- month. Planting jagge behind normal, in Louisiana and
Mississippi. Spring wheat planting lagged behind normal in 4 of
the 5 major producing States during the”: irst half of May. the
end of May, planting was ahead of normal except in Mon ana.
Condition of the crop was mostly good to fair. Winter wheat was
mostly fair to poor during May. ‘Inadequate soil moisture stressed
winter wheat in the central and southern Great Plains. About
mid-month, rain and cool temperatures reduced moisture stress in
Oklahoma. Late in May, rain improved crop conditions in Kansas,
but wheat was still mostly very poor to poor. At the end of May,
harvest was underway in California, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Heading was 74% complete, 3 points ahead of normal.

JUNE CROP PROGRESS

Early in June, rain slowed fieldwork in the Corn Belt and
improved soil moisture conditions in the central and southern Great
Plains. Continued rains during the month slowed winter wheat
harvest in the central and southern Great Plains, the Delta, and
Southeast. Rain slowed corn and soybean planting in the eastern
Corn Belt during the entire month. Planting lagged behind normal
in the Delta and Southeast late in the month. By the end of June,
soil moisture was surplus to adequate in the Délta and the East.
Soil moisture was mostly adequate to short in the western Corn
Belt, Great Plains, and the West.

At the beginning of June, corn planting was nearly complete
except in the eastern Corn Belt. Rain continued to slow planting
in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. By mid-month, planting was
still more than 30 percentage points behind normal in Ohio. Durin
the third week of the month, light frost occurred in Nebraska bu
caused no serious damage. By, the end of June, corn was mostly good
to fair in the major producing States, and "silking had begun in
Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas.

Rain hampered soybean planting in the eastern Corn Belt durin
June. By mid-month, rain also slowed planting in the Delta an
Southeast. Near the end of June, planting was behind normal in the
eastern Corn Belt, Delta, and Southeast but was nearly complete in
the western Corn ‘Belt. Soybeans were mostly good to fair in the
19 major producing States.

At the beginning of June, cotton planting was nearly complete
except in Oklahoma and Texas. Heavy rains forced producers to
replant some acreage in Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas. In mid-
June, the percentage of acreage in the squaring sta age lagged behind
normal in the Delta and Southeast. B: the end of Juné, squaring
was more than 30 points behind normal in Arkansas, Mississippi
North Carolina, and South Carolina. Cotton was mostly fair i he
14 major producing States.

By, the end of June, sorghum planting was nearly complete
except in Oklahoma and Kansas. By mid-month, harvest was underway
in the Coastal Bend area of Texas. Heavy rains forced some
replanting in Kansas. At the end of June, sorghum was mostly good
to fair in the 11 major producing States.

Rice was mostly good to fair during June. By the end of the
month, heading had begun in Louisiana and Texas.

cent less than 1988 and 15 percent less than 1987.
New York growers are having a difficult time controlling brown rot.
Harvest is expected to begin about July 6. Some Michigan growers
have reported an outbreak of cherry leaf spot.

The Pacific Coast States expect to harvest 153 thousand tons
compared with 148 thousand tons in 1988. Harvest is progressing
well in the major area of Oregon. Some fruit has been damaged by
rain splitting. Harvest is active in Washington. Fruit quality
is good but size is smaller than normal.

percent from 1988 but down 26 percent from 1987.

APRICOTS: The final forecast for U.S. apricots is 118 thousand
tons, unchanged from last month's forecast but 15
percent greater than 1988 production. California's crop forecast
is 115 thousand tons, unchanged from last month's forecast but 21
percent above last year's production. The California crop is in
excellent condition. Although fruit sizes vary throughout the
State, quality is considered excellent. Harvest 1s expected to be
complete by mid-July. The production estimates for Utah and
Washington are 900 and 1600 thousand tons, respectively.

NECTARINES: The California nectarine forecast continues at 190

thousand tons, 5 percent less than last year and 1
percent below 1987. Harvest is about 40 percent complete with both
quality and size reported as normal.

DRIED PRUNES: The California crop is forecast at 200 thousand

tons, unchanged from June 1 but 29 percent more than
the 1988 crop. The crop remains in good condition. Yields should
be good and fruit size average.

PLUMS: California's production is forecast at 200 thousand tons,

unchanged from the June 1 forecast but 7 percent less than
last year. | Over 40 percent of the crop has been harvested.
Quality has improved slightly as the season has progressed. Fruit
sizes remain normal.

ALMONDS: The final forecast for the 1989 California almond crop

is 425 miljion pounds shelled basis, down 6 percent from
last month's forecast and 28 percent below last year's crop. The
1989 crop forecast is based on 402 thousand bearing acres. The
crop is progressing well and appears to be slightly ahead of
normal. Condition and quality are good to excellent. The nut size
is slightly larger than normal.

The July 1 yield surveys include reports from over 25,000
farmers. Farmers provided appraisals of crop conditions and
expected yields for their localities. In addition, objective yield
surveys for winter wheat provided small plot observations, counts
and measurements in a probability selected sample of fields.

Again, these surveys are subject to sampling and non-sampling
errors. More importantly, the production forecasts are subject to
change due to future weather and other factors that cannot be
measured currently but can affect final production.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the winter
wheat production forecasts in this report, the "Root Mean Square
Brror a statistical measure based on past performance, is provided

elow.

The “Root Mean Square Error" for the July winter wheat
production forecast is 2.1 percent. This means that chances are
2 out of 3 that the current production forecast of 1.46 billion
bushels will not be above or below the final estimate by more than
2.1 percent or approximately 30.7 million bushels. Chances are 9
out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will
not exceed 3.6 percent or approximately 52.6 million bushels.
Differences between the July 1 winter wheat production forecast and
the final estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 31
million bushels, ranging from 4 million to 54 million bushels. The
July 1 forecast ‘has been below the final estimate 5 times and above
5 times. This does not inply that the July 1 winter wheat forecast
this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.

INTERPRETATION OF DATA IN THIS REPORT

The planted and harvested acreages in this report are hased
primarily on surveys conducted the first two weeks of June. Crop
production forecasts are based on yield surveys conducted around
July 1. July 1 production forecast of oats, durum wheat, and other
spring wheat have been reinstated and are included in this report.

The acreage surveys conducted the first two weeks of June used
a probability area frame survey with a sample of over 15,500
segments or parcels of land (average approximately 1 square mile)
and a probability list sample of over 70,000 farm operators. These
surveys are subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that
are common to all surveys. Sampling errors for major crops
generally are between 1 to 4 percent. Sampling errors cannot be
applied directly to the acreage published in this report to
determine confidence intervals, since the Agricultural Statistics
Board estimates represent a composite of information from more than
a single survey source. The sampling errors from the July, 1989
area frame survey for U.S. planted acreages were: barley-3.6
percent, corn-1.1 percent, Upland cotton-3.3 percent, sorghum-3.9
percent, soybeans~-1.2 percent, winter wheat-1.6 percent, and other
spring wheat~-2.8 percent.

Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly but may occur
due to planting intentions, incorrect reporting and/or recording,
data omissions or duplications, and errors in processing. To
minimize non-sampling errors rigorous quality controls are used in
the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for
consistency and reasonableness.

This year spring rains have delayed corn and soybean plantings
in the eastern Corn Belt. For example, in Ohio only 66 percent of
the corn was planted by June 11, 1989 compared with 100 percent
both last year and average. The percentages of major U.S. crop
acreages planted by June 11 are shown below:

Corn : 97 100 100 100 100 96
Cotton 2 86 93 85 88 92 93
Sorghum : 68 76 78 85 80 77
Soybeans : 74 83 81 91 89 75

PEANUTS: Peanut planted area for 1989 is estimated at 1.68 million
acres, up 1 percent froma year ago. This is the largest
acreage planted since 1958 when 1.73 million acres were planted.

Area for harvest is estimated at 1.65 million acres, 1 percent
above last year. If realized, this would be the largest harvested
area since 1955 when 1.67 million acres were harvested. Planting
progress was behind normal in Virginia, North and South Carolina,
and in the Southwest during the season. As of the week ending June
4, planting progress remained behind normal in these areas, while
the Southeast approached completion of planting.

Southeastern growers planted 1.06 million acres in 1989, 2
percent more than in 1988. Georgia and Alabama planting progress
agged behind normal until mid-May, then began exceeding the
average pace. The Southeastern area crop was generally in good
condition, as of June 4.

Plantings in North Carolina and Virginia totaled 248 thousand
acres, virtually unchanged from the previous year. Progress was
far behind the average during most of the planting period, but as
of June 4 plantings were only 4 percent behind average in North
Carolina and were complete in Virginia.

In the Southwest, plantings are expected to total 370 thousand
acres, down 1 percent from 1988. Dry weather slowed progress in
Texas where plantings were 18 percent behind normal as of the week
ending June 4.

SUNFLOWER: Area planted to sunflower for all purposes totaled

1.82 million acres in the 5-State area of North Dakota,
South Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, and Texas. This acreage is 15
percent below 1988 plantings. Oil varieties were planted on 1.47
million acres, down 20 percent from last year. Sunflower for oil
plantings represent 81 percent of the total sunflower acreage
planted in 1989.

North Dakota growers planted 1.00 million acres to oil
varieties this year, 26 percent less than 1988. Non-oil plantings
totaled 280 thousand acres, up 12 percent from a year earlier. In
South Dakota 295 thousand acres were planted to oil varieties, up
16 percent from 1988. Non-oil varieties were unchanged at 5
thousand acres.

Planting progress started late but caught up to a near normal
pace by the end of May. Condition as of July 2 was mostly good to
alr.

HAY: Growers are expected to harvest 62.9 million acres of hay

during 1989, nis is 4 percent less than the 68.6 million
acres harvested last year but 4 percent more than the 60.7 million
acres cut 2 years ago.

The area of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures combined is estimated
at 25.5 million acres, 4 percent lower than in 1988, Compared with
1987, the acreage is virtually the same. Of the principal States,
Wisconsin declined 6 percent from last year to 2.90 million acres;
South Dakota acreage increased 5 percent to total 2.20 million;
Minnesota, with 1.70 million acres, is off 29 percent; North Dakota
is up 60 percent to 1.60 million acres; and Iowa declined 35
percent to 1.55 million acres for 1989.

Some freeze damage occurred in portions of the Delta and
Southeast during the last week of the month. Land preparation for
the 1989 cotton crop was active in Arizona and Ca ifornia during
February; Snow and rain slowed land preparation in California
durin he second week of the month. In the Corn Belt, weather
conditions limited fieldwork to spreading fertilizer during most
of February. Land preparation for spring planting was active in
the Southeast but was slowed Py rain in the Delta. During the last
half of February, rain slowed fieldwork in the East. Corn planting
began mid-month in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Tobacco plant be
preparation and planting were active in the Southeast. Rain slowed
fieldwork in the Delta and Southeast during most of March. Snow
and muddy field conditions limited fieldwork to spreading ferti-
lizer in the northern Great Plains and Corn Bel early in the
month. By the end of March, spring small grain planting and land
preparation for spring planting were underway in the Great Plains
and western Corn Belt, Cotton planting was underway in Texas in
early March. By the end of March, anting was 9 percent (%)
complete, 1 percentage point ahead of the 5-year average: Planting
began in Arizona and Ca ifornia about mid-month. By the end of the
month, planting was 35% complete in Arizona. As March began, corn
planting was underway in Arizona, Florida, and Texas and just
beginning in Mississippi - By mid-month, corn planting was active
in the Delta and Southeast aS weather permitted. Planting lagged
behind normal in portions of the Delta and Southeast at the end of
the month. Planting began in Kansas the last week of March.

As March began, sorghum planting was underway in Texas. B
the end of the month, planting was 42% finished, 3 points behin
normal, Planting was just beginning in Alabama. Rice planting
began in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas about_mid-month, Rain

slowed planting in Louisiana and Mississippi. Tobacco bed prep-
aration and planting were active during March as weather permitted.
Tobacco transplanting was underway by mid-month in Georgia and
Florida. Early in March, warmer temperatures improved winter wheat
growth in the central and southern Great Plains. Winter wheat was
mostly very poor to poor in Kansas, Moisture was needed. In
Oklahoma, winter wheat was mostly fair to good. About mid-month,
winter wheat began heading in the Coastal Bend area of Texas. Near
the end of March, rain improved winter wheat condition in the
central and southern Great Plains. _ Earlier freeze damage became
evident as fields broke dormancy in Kansas. Winter wheat was
mostly good to fair in Oklahoma and fair to poor in Texas. Snow
cover was mostly adequate in the northern Grea Plains early in the
month. Winter wheat. was mostly fair to good. Near the end of
March, producers began reseeding freeze damaged fields in portions
of Oregon and Washington. Winter wheat was mostly good to fair in
Idaho, Montana, and South Dakota and fair to good in Colorado,
Nebraska, and Wyoming. During March, winter wheat was mostly good
in the Corn Belt and fair to good in the Delta and Southeast. A
the end of March, powdery mildew and rust were problems in portions
of the Delta.

Rain slowed fieldwork in the eastern Corn Belt, Delta, and
Southeast during most of April. During the last week of April,
needed rain improved soil moisture conditions in the western Corn
Belt and northern Great Plains. The central and southern Great
Plains remained dry. Corn lanting lagged slightly behind normal
during April. By the third week of April, planting was underway
in all of the 17 major producing States except Michigan and Sout!
Dakota. Rain slowed planting in the Delta and Southeast in early
April. Planting progress was slow in the eastern Corn Belt an
Southeast late in the month. By month's end, planting was 25%
complete, 3 points behind normal. During the last week of April,
producers planted over one-third of their acreage in Illinois,
Kansas, and Missouri. Planting progress was 13 points and 22
points behind normal in Indiana an Ohio, respectively.

All other hay acreage harvested is expected to total 37.4
million acres, down 4 percent from the 1988 crop but up 6 percent
from the area harvested 2 years ago. States with the largest
acreages are Texas with 3.59 million acres, 16 percent above their
area harvested a year earlier; Missouri, off 8 percent at 3,30
million acres; Nebraska and South Dakota, each with 2.10. million
acres are up 2 and 5 percent, respectively; and Kentucky has 1.95
million acres, the same as last year.

COTTON: United States planted area of all cotton for 1989 is ex-
ected to total 10.5 million acres, down 16 percent from
1988 and down 5 percent from March 1 prospective plantings - As of
the week ending June 4, 84 percent of the acreage had been planted.
Upland cotton area is estimated at 10.2 million acres and
American-Pima area is estimated at 336 thousand acres. This is the
third consecutive year of record planted American-Pima acreage.

In the Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina), producers planted or intend to plant 900 thousand
acres, down 11 percent from last year. As of June 4, Alabama's
plantings were complete, but the other States were behind the
normal planting pace. The crop was rated in mostly fair to good
condition as of July 2 throughout the Region.

_._,Plantings in the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee) are expected to total 3.00
million acres, down 13 percent from 1988. Planting progress was
behind normal most of the season. Replantings were necessary in
Arkansas and Louisiana, and were extensive in Mississippi due to
heavy rains. As of June 4, planting approached completion. - By
July 2, the crop was rated mostly in fair to good condition.

The area planted to Upland cotton in Texas and Oklahoma is
estimated at 4.88 million acres, down 19 percent from the previous
ear. Texas Planting progress was slightly behind normal during
he season and varying weather conditions delayed the progress in
the south, west, and Coastal Bend areas.

Upland cotton acreage in the Western States (Arizona,
California, New Mexico) is estimated at 1.36 million acres, a 23
percent decrease from 1988. Planting progress was generally ahead
Of normal, and plantings were complete by the end of May. As of
July 2, the Arizona and California crops were in good condition.

DRY EDIBLE BEANS: Area planted or to be planted to dry beans in

1989 is estimated at 1.77 million acres, a jump
of 18 percent from last year but 2 percent short of two years ago.
Area for harvest is forecast at 1.71 million acres, up 25 percent
from last year and 1 percent above 1987. Each of the 14 producing
States expect to harvest more acreage in 1989 than the previous
year.

Wet fields delayed planting in Michigan. By mid-June, only
25 percent of the acreage had been planted compared to the average
of 65 percent. Rain also delayed planting in New York State.

High prices for the 1988 crop encouraged more planting this
year, particularly in the Plains and Mountain States. Planting in
North Dakota, Minnesota, and Nebraska was completed by mid-June.
Progress is good and weather factors favor a healthy crop.
Colorado and Wyoming had some rain delays and cool weather in the
spring. Dry weather in southwest Colorado and in Utah, delayed
progress of the non-irrigated acreage.

Wet spring weather delayed plantin and development of
otatoes in the Atlantic and South Eastern States. Harvest started
n Alabama and Virginia in late June but progress is slow because

of wet soils. Yields in Alabama are better than last year's crop,
however, Virginia fields suffered loss of both quality and yield.
The crops in Delaware and Maryland are 7-10 days late because of
late planting, although harvest will start in late July. Potatoes
in New Jersey are late but harvest should begin shortly.

. _Michigan potatoes received too much rain through June, result-
ing in losses in low spots. The crop is late but should be better
than last year's drought stricken crop. Cool spring weather in
Minnesota slowed ear y growth but conditions are improving.
Potatoes in Illinois and Iowa are making good progress. Recent hot
weather in Nebraska and Colorado requires constant attention to
irrigation.

._, Harvest is underway in the Texas High Plains although some
fields received scattered hail damage. New Mexico yields are ex-~
pected to_be above last year. In California, growing weather has

een ideal. Harvest should be underway in late July.

SWEETPOTATOES: U.S. growers have planted 93.6 thousand acres of

sweetpotatoes for harvest in 1989, slightly more
than last year but 3 percent less than two years ago. Area for
harvest is estimated at 90.6 thousand acres, up 1 percent from 1988
but 3 percent below 1987.

Heavy rains in the Delta States delayed planting and washed
out some fields. Weed growth is excessive in Louisiana. Crop
conditions range from poor to good. Texas growers lost some acreage
from flooding. Planting was slowed in Alabama in June because of
we ields.

Planting in North Carolina is late with three-fourths of the
crop planted by June 18th, compared with the average of 85 percent.
Other Atlantic States reduced acres because of high priced
seedlings and wet soils. South Carolina planting started about a
week late in early May and was 70 percent in the ground by
nid-yune. Atlantic States rate their crops in fair to goo
condition.

California weather, on the other hand, has been excellent.
Planting was started in early May and first harvest could come by
the end of July.

TOBACCO: U.S. all tobacco area for harvest in 1989 of 704 thou-

sand acres is 11 percent greater than a year ago and 20
percent above the area harvested two years ago. The area of
flue-cured, burley dark fired-cured, dark air-cured, and some
cigar types are a 4 above 1988 but Maryland type and some cigar
types are below last year's levels.

The flue-cured area for harvest, at 403 thousand acres, is 10
percent larger than last year. North Carolina with about
wo-thirds of the acreage is up 10 percent from 1988. south
Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and Florida are up 1], 8, 11, and 9
percent, respectively.

..,, Production of flue-cured tobacco is expected to total 871
million pounds, 7 percent more than in 1988. Production is up from
a year ago in all 5 producing States. By State, production is
expected to increase 5 percent in North Carolina, 12 percent in
South Carolina, 10 percent in Georgia, 14 percent in Virginia, and
8 percent in Florida.
