Heavy rainfall did not cause problems everywhere. In Texas, San Antonio’s
monthly rainfall of 5.36 inches surpassed their previous 4-month total of

4.06 inches, easing dryness. However, an 8-month warm spell, dating to October
1994, continued in San Antonio, as monthly temperatures averaged 3 degrees F
above normal. Heat became oppressive across southern Texas and the Southeast
during the month. Laredo, TX notched a high of 114 degrees F on May 13.
Persistent heat gripped Florida, where several May monthly average temperature
records were broken, including:

Location Temperature (degrees F) Previous / Year
Key West 83.5 82.8 in 1967
Miami Beach 82.5 79.7 in 1994
Miami Int’] 82.1 81.5 in 1991
Tampa 81.7 81.5 in 1975
Ft. Lauderdale 81.2 80.2 in 1953
Hollywood 81.2 79.8 in 1978
Orlando 80.2 records to 1944
Melbourne 79.2 records to 1948

Highs reached or exceeded 90 degrees F in Tampa on 16 consecutive days

(May 4-19), setting a May record. In addition, nine daily-record highs were
tied or broken. Similarly, eight daily-records were tied or broken in
Melbourne. Farther north, Atlanta, GA had its hottest May this century

(74.3 degrees F: 5.1 degrees F above normal). Warmth atso blanketed the Pacific
Northwest, where Seattle, WA noted its second-warmest May. Their average
temperature of 60.3 degrees F was 5.2 degrees above normal and only 0.1 degree
shy of the 1958 record. Seattle's month ended with a record-setting 12-day
string of 75-degree. or warmer, days. In contrast, coastal New England failed
to experience a high of 70 degrees. F until well into May. Highs finally broke
the 70-degree barrier in Boston, MA on May 18, and in Portland, ME on May 22, in
both cases the latest calendar date for that event. Subnormal precipitation
accompanied the cool weather, as Albany. NY reported its ninth consecutive
drier-than-normal month.

With an active storm track and a sharp temperature contrast. severe
thunderstorms were commonplace. From May 8-18. nearly 300 tornadic
thunderstorms swept across the Plains and the Midwest. But the month's most
damaging severe-weather event (in terms of loss of human life and damage to
infrastructure) was a hail-. rain-, and windstorm that struck seventeen northern
Texas counties on May 5.

General Crop Comments: Oark storm clouds hovered over the central States for
most of May delaying spring plantings. Numerous spring
storms brought excessive moisture and cool weather to the central Great Plains
and middle Mississippi Valley, leaving row crop planting progress behind normal
for the month. For most of May, many Midwestern States reported fewer than
2 days suitable for fieldwork each week. The predominately wet weather and low
soil temperatures early in the month hampered fieldwork. The saturated soils
delayed row crop planting, and slowed the development of emerged crops. Soil
conditions in the Southeast remained dry for most of the month, causing some
producers to delay planting until sufficient moisture was received.

Temples: The June 1 forecast for the 1994-95 Florida temple production is
2.55 million boxes (115.000 tons), unchanged from May but 13 percent
above last season's production. Harvest was complete for the 1994-95 crop.

Florida Citrus: Groves in all areas of Florida are in very good condition.

Moisture levels are lower than desirable in spite of average
rainfall in many counties in May. Growers and caretakers used all types of
irrigation to maintain adequate surface moisture. Caretakers actively cut cover
crops that competed for available moisture. May was also one of the hottest in
recent history according to the National Weather Service. New crop fruit is
generally set as trees are through dropping little green fruit that can’t be
carried for next season. Other activities include post-bloom nutritional
spraying and summer fertilizing. Several growers hedged and topped harvested
Valencia trees. Harvest of Valencia oranges was very active the first of May
and slowed considerably by the end of the month as supplies were running out.
Over 80 million boxes of late oranges were moved by the end of May. Harvest of
all seedless grapefruit is virtually over for the 1994-95 season.

California Fruits and Nuts: Grape growers irrigated vineyards, treated mildew

and weeds, and applied bloom spray. Peach,
nectarine, and plum growers thinned and removed storm damaged fruit. Harvesting
early varieties of stone fruit began in late May. Almond orchards were
irrigated and treated for mites. Apple and pear orchards were treated for
codling moth. Early apple varieties were hand thinned in Sonoma County.
Cherries were harvested. with most areas reporting cracked fruit due to earlier
rains. Apricot harvest was complete by month's end in Kern county, but just
starting in northern San Joaquin Valley. Walnuts were sprayed for blight and
early codling moth control. Olives and pomegranates were blooming. Kiwifruit
bloom was over by mid-month; pollination appeared to be fair. Avocado harvest
continued.

California Citrus: New crop fruit is in good condition and experienced normal
fruit drop. Lemon, grapefruit, and Valencia orange harvest
continued.

Bartlett Pears: Production in California, Washington and Oregon is forecast at

510,000 tons, down 14 percent from last year and 1 percent less
than 1993. Excess moisture. flooded orchards, and hail damage slashed
production in California. Harvest is expect to begin around mid-July. The
Washington pear crop is good condition with no major weather problems. Oregon's
production is down 16 percent from a year ago due mostly to poor pollination
weather. Pears in Hood River County are in good condition.

Hops: Acreage strung for harvest in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is forecast

at 43.431 acres, a 2 percent increase from a year ago and up slightly
from 1993. The crop is in good condition and progressing on schedule. Above
normal snowfall in Idaho has reservoirs filled to capacity.

June 1995 A-5 NASS, USDA


Later in the month, torrential rains flooded fields in the Delta requiring some
replanting. Recurring storm systems left surplus soil moisture conditions
throughout the middle Mississippi Valley and northern Great Plains, further
delaying row crop planting. Early emerged corn plants were yellowed due to
excessive moisture in the Corn Belt. Widespread cloud cover and cool, wet
weather resulted in increased occurrences of foliar diseases in small grains
across the central Great Plains to the Ohio Valley. Surplus soil moisture and
low soil temperatures in the Great Plains slowed crop development and stalled
planting. Hot, dry weather continued throughout the month in the Southeastern
States causing some producers to replant due to poor germination.

Continued damp fields stressed crops in the middie Mississippi Valley and flash
flooding and standing water caused many fields to be replanted. Cool weather
for mid-May, in the Southern Great Plains, slowed cotton development. By mid-
month, row crop and small grain planting progress was 2 to 3 weeks behind the
average for many Midwestern and Northern States. Saturated fields in the
Northern States left small grain seeding 3 weeks behind schedule forcing some
producers to change their planting intentions. Wet field conditions promoted
weed growth but also prevented farmers from implementing weed control.

The end of May brought continued rainy, cool weather and many producers in the
Western Corn Belt and some Northern State were forced to switch to shorter
season varieties. By the months end many Midwestern farmers were still trying
to complete corn planting before resuming soybean planting. Also intense heat
across the southern Great Plains and unusually dry weather for the Southeastern
States lowered crop condition.

Winter Wheat: Area for grain is forecast at 40.6 million acres. This is down

100,000 acres from May 1 and 2 percent less than in 1994. The
acreage decline is in Montana where poor stands have been plowed up and re-
seeded to spring wheat.

Cool, wet weather has slowed crop development in Colorado and South Dakota.
Harvest in the Blacklands area of Texas has been delayed by rain; cutting should
begin soon in the Cross Timbers as fields dry up. California’s harvest is about
ten days behind schedule and just getting started in the San Joaquin Valley.

Georgia harvest was progressing ahead of normal as of June 4. Southwest Indiana
fields have water standing in low lying areas. No major disease problems have
been seen as of early June. Lower than expected harvested yields have reduced
Mississippi prospects. Ohio's crop is maturing faster than normal, staying
ahead of disease pressures. Idaho’s crop has improved since May 1, as has
Oregon's. Both crops are developing late. .

Durum Wheat: 1995 durum production in Arizona and California is forecast at

8.62 and 6.60 million bushels, respectively. The Arizona number
is down 2 percent from last month due to a yield decline: California remains
unchanged. Arizona's harvest reached 47 percent as of June 4. More than half
of California’s durum is harvested: quality thus far has been a little better
than average.

The “Root Mean Square Error" for the June 1 winter wheat production forecast is
5.0 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production
forecast of 1.61 billion bushels will not be above or below the final estimate
by more than 5.0 percent or approximately 80 million bushels. Chances are

9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed
8.7 percent or approximately 140 million bushels. Differences between the
June 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final estimate during the past
10 years have averaged 48 million bushels, ranging from 8 million to 77 million
bushels. The June 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 2 times and
above 8 times. This does not imply that the June 1 winter wheat forecast this
year is likely to understate or overstate final production.

Apricots: California's apricot production, at 70,000 tons, is expected to. be

about half of last year’s crop. Poor pollination weather, combined
with the stress of last year’s record output. sharply reduced crop potential.
Harvest is complete in Kern County and is well underway in Northern San Joaquin
Valley.

Papayas: Fresh papaya production from Hawaii is estimated at 2.83 million

pounds for May, 7 percent lower than April and 44 percent lower than
May, 1994. Weather conditions were variable with sunny periods interrupted by
scattered showers.

Total area devoted to papaya production was 3.765 acres, 1 percent more than
April and 13 percent more than a year ago. Harvested area, at 2,525 acres. fell
slightly from last month but increased 11 percent more than a year ago.
Although harvested area was higher than last year, figures do not account for
tree losses from papaya ringspot virus, Papaya ringspot virus lowers fruit
quality and reduces yields. Infected trees are rogued to limit the spread of
the disease but the virus has slowly crept into previously uninfected areas.

Grapefruit: The June 1 forecast of the 1994-95 U.S. grapefruit crop is
2.91 million tons, up 9 percent from last season but unchanged from
Tast month.

Florida's grapefruit forecast is 55.8 million boxes (2.37 million tons). up
9 percent from 1993-94 but unchanged from May. Although total production did
not change. colored seedless grapefruit production is up and white seedless
Production is down. Production from white seedless varieties dropped from
26.0 mitlion boxes last month to 25.7 million boxes (1.09 million tons).
Colored seedless production increased from 28.5 million boxes to 28.8 million
boxes (1.22 million tons). The seedy variety remained at 1.30 million boxes
(55.000 tons). Harvest of al] seedless grapefruit is virtually over for the
1994-95 season.

The Texas grapefruit forecast is 4.40 million boxes (176.000 tons), unchanged
from last month and 47 percent more than last season. Harvest in the Valley was
virtually complete by the end of May. Trees remained in good condition despite
the lack of rain. The Arizona and California grapefruit forecasts were carried
forward at 1.40 million boxes (47.000 tons) and 9.30 million boxes

(312.000 tons), respectively.

Tangerines: The 1994-95 tangerine crop is forecast at 279,000 tons, unchanged

from May but 13 percent below last season. The Florida tangerine
forecast is 3.55 million boxes (169,000 tons), unchanged from last month but
down 13 percent from last year. Harvest of all varieties was complete. The
California and Arizona forecasts were carried forward from April at 2.30 million
boxes (86,000 tons) and 650.000 boxes (24,000 tons), respectively.

Tangelos: The Florida tangelo forecast is 3.15 million boxes (142,000 tons),
unchanged from last month but down 6 percent from last year. Harvest
is finished for the season.

May Weather Summary: Strong and frequent storms traveled either eastward or

northeastward from the Southwest, hindering crop planting
and development in the northern and central Plains as well as the Midwest.
Persistent storminess and heavy runoff culminated in severe late-spring flooding
in the Central States.

Precipitation totaled more than twice the May normal in a broad swath from
northern California to the Ohio Valley. In contrast, drier-than-normal
conditions prevailed in the Northeast, Northwest, and Southeast. Dryness in the
Southeast was accompanied by very warm weather, with departures up to

+4 degrees F. Meanwhile, the central Rockies and central High Plains observed
temperatures 6 to 7 degrees F below normal.

With the combination of persistent cloud cover, frequent rain, and wet soils,
daytime high temperatures averaged 11 degrees F below normal in Denver, CO, and
10 degrees F below normal in Cheyenne, WY. It was the second coldest May on
record in Denver, behind 1917; and the fourth coldest, third wettest May in
Cheyenne, which also collected 2.6 inches of snow. Early in the month, heavy
snow fell as far south as Flagstaff, AZ (4.9 inches in 24 hours on May 6-7).
Farther north, frosts occurred in North Dakota and Montana as late as

May 25 and 27, respectively. In addition, a low of 32 degrees F in Goodland, KS
on May 25 was 3 weeks after their normal last-freeze date.

Localized torrential rainfall struck the central Gulf Coast on May 8-10, one of
the month’s few events that did not drench the Central States. In New Orleans,
12.24 inches fell in 24 hours on May 8-9, propelling their monthly total to an
all-time record (for any month) of 21.18 inches, surpassing the 19.81-inch total
of November 1989. Their former May record was 14.33 inches in 1959.

Evansville, IN experienced its second-wettest month all-time (13.51 inches),
behind only the 14.78-inch total of January 1937. Record or near-record May
rainfall totals were measured at many other stations, including:

Location Amount (inches) Remarks

St. Louis, MO 12.92 wettest May on record
Kansas City, MO 12.75 wettest May on record
Columbia, 0 12.31 2nd wettest (13.34" in 1943)
Louisville, KY 9.48 4th wettest (1990, 1983, 1927)
Lexington, KY 8.97 3rd wettest (1983, 1935)
Indianapolis, IN 7.37 4th wettest in last 30 years
Casper, WY 6.31 2nd wettest (6.46" in 1978)
Cheyenne, WY 6.00 3rd wettest (1904, 1908)
Salt Lake City, UT 3.68 3rd wettest (1977, 1993)
Grand Junction. CO 2.04 wettest May since 1904

In addition to Salt Lake City’s near-record total, eleven locations in Utah's
dense cooperative network reported record May rainfall, with totals ranging from
253 to 390 percent of normal. In Grand Junction, a trace or more of rain fet)
on 20 days, tying the May record set in 1917.

Sugar Crops, 1994 Revised: Sugarbeet production in 1994 totaled 32.0 million
tons, up 22 percent from 1993. Area harvested

totaled 1.44 million acres. up 2 percent from last year. Yield per acre

averaged 22.2 tons compared with the previous year’s average of 18.6 tons.

Sugarcane production for sugar in 1994 totaled 29.4 million tons, 1 percent
below last year’s output. The decrease in production was the result of lower
harvested acreage. Area harvested totaled 881,700 acres, 1 percent below 1993.
The average yield of 33.4 tons per acre was virtually unchanged from last year.

Sweet Potatoes, 1994 Revised: The final estimate of sweet potato production for

1994 was 13.4 million cwt, 21 percent above 1993
and 12 percent above 1992. The revised estimate was 2 percent above the
preliminary estimate in the Annual Crop Production Summary. Harvest came from
82,800 acres, up 3 percent from a year earlier and slightly above two years ago.
The average yield rose to a record high 162 cwt per acre, 24 cwt above 1993 and
16 cwt above the previous record in 1992.

Maple Syrup: U.S. maple syrup production in 1995 totaled 1.10 million gallons.
down 17 percent from last year. The estimated value of production
is $25.5 million, a decrease of 21 percent from 1994.

Maple syrup production decreased in every state except Maine this year.
Producers experienced an extremely mild season with temperatures generally too
warm, too early throughout the syrup producing region. The season started
almost a week earlier than last year due to the warmth. Some producers took
advantage of the mild weather and put out more taps while others did not tap as
many trees because of poor sap flow. Syrup color was darker and sugar content
lower than last year. Darker syrup iS expected to cause lower prices despite
reduced production.

Vermont again led the U.S. in production with 365.000 gallons, down 16 percent
from last season. New York's production decreased 17 percent to 208,000
gallons. Maine was the third leading state with production of 162,000 gallons.
8 percent more than 1994. Northern Maine reported very good conditions for
sugaring this year.

Winter Wheat Production Down 2 Percent
From May Forecast

Winter wheat production is forecast at 1.61 billion bushels, down 2 percent from
May 1 and down 3 percent from 1994. Area for grain harvest is 40.6 million
acres, down 100,000 acres from May 1 due to a decrease in Montana, Yields are
now expected to average 39.6 bushels per acre. down 0.6 bushels from both last
month and last year. Most Soft Red Winter declines are attributable to flooding
and disease, which are the same factors that lowered Oklahoma’s yield prospects.
Crop conditions vary considerably within States. Overall, head counts are a
record high, but are offset by very low spikelet counts.

Sweet Cherries: Production in California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at
111,000 tons. down 37 percent from last year and 17 percent
below 1993.

The sweet cherry crop in California is forecast at 15,000 tons, down 71 percent
from last year’s record crop. Pollination problems and adverse weather during
full bloom greatly reduced crop potential. Rains in mid-May caused fruit to
split. Harvest should wrap-up in late June.

“Oregon's production forecast of 30,000 tons is nearly one-third less than last
year. If realized, this will be the smallest cherry crop in 10 years. Oregon's
major producing district (from the Dalles to Hood River County) has a good. but
moderate size crop. The Willamette Valley district and other producing areas
experienced poor pollination resulting in a poor set. Harvest is expected to
begin about June 19.

The set of Washington cherries was not as heavy as last year’s record crop.
Cool, wet weather during bloom contributed to poor pollination. Early bloom
cherries show signs of frost damage. A smaller crop for Wanatchee growers is
forecast compared to last year’s crop, while a slightly larger crop is expected
for the Yakima area. Cherries are expected to size well.

Peaches: The 1995 peach production in California, Georgia, and South Carolina
is forecast at 1.88 billion pounds, 14 percent less than 1994 and
9 percent less than 1993. Peach production, excluding the California
Clingstone crop, is forecast at 940 million pounds, 11 percent below last year
and 3 percent below 1993. California's Clingstone production is also forecast
at 940 million pounds, 17 percent below last year and 14 percent below 1993.
Harvest of early varieties in California is underway, with the crop showing good
fruit size and development. Growers continue to thin and remove storm-damaged
fruit.

Peach production in South Carolina is forecast at 240 million pounds, 4 percent
less than last year. Extremely dry conditions during fruit set caused the
reduction. Recent rains are expected to improve crop quality and fruit size,
especially on the later varieties. Hail damage from last year is still evident
in some orchards, but there are few other problems.

Georgia's 1995 peach production is estimated at 160 million pounds, down

9 percent from last year but up 7 percent from 1993. One-third of the Georgia
peach crop has been harvested. Recent rains from Hurricane Allison improved
crop prospects. Fruit quality and size are good.

Dried Prunes: Production in California is expected to total 185.000 tons, down

4 percent from the 1994 crop but up 53 percent from 1993. The
smaller production is the result of poor pollination combined with wind and
flood damage earlier in the year. Currently, the crop is sizing well and growers
expect an average to above average crop.

Reliability of June 1 Winter Wheat Production Forecast

Survey Procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted

between May 23 and June 3 to gather information on expected
yield as of June 1. The objective yield survey was conducted in 13 States that
accounted for 79 percent of the 1994 production. Farm operators were inter-
viewed to update previously reported acreage data and seek permission to
randomly locate two sample plots in selected winter wheat fields. The counts
made within each sample plot depended upon the crop’s maturity. In early
fields, counts such as number of stalks, heads in late boot, and number of
emerged heads were made to predict the number of heads that would be harvested.
A 5-year historical average head weight is used until the crop matures to the
point that heads can be clipped, threshed, and weighed. The number of heads
times the weight of the heads in a sample plot can then be combined to an
estimate of yield per acre. The 5-year average harvesting loss is subtracted to
obtain a net yield. The plots are revisited each month until the crop reaches
maturity and or harvested on the final visit.

The farm operator survey included a sample of approximately 10,000 winter wheat
producers representing all major production areas. These producers were
selected from an earlier acreage survey and were asked about the probable winter
wheat yield on their operation. These growers will be surveyed throughout the
growing season to provide indications of average yields as the season
progresses.

Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower
reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and
consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed
considering weather patterns and crop progress compared to previous month and
previous years. Each State Statistical Office submits their analysis of the
current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the
survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published June 1 forecasts.

Revision Policy: The June 1 production forecast will not be revised: instead.

a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing
season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the
marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks,
production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then
made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant
changes.

Reliability: 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 1975-1994 20-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.

Orange Production Approaches Record

Orange production for the 1994-95 season is forecast at 11.75 million tons
(272 million boxes), up slightly from the previous forecast and 14 percent above
last season. That level of output falls just 81,000 tons below the current
record of 11.83 million tons (274 million boxes) set by the 1979-80 crop.
Early, mid-season, and Navel orange volume did not change but production of
Valencias increased. Florida’s production of all oranges reached 206 million
boxes (9.26 million tons), up slightly from May and 18 percent above last
season. The Florida total nearly approaches its record high of 206.7 million
boxes set during 1979-80. Their Valencia forecast increased once again to
86.0 million boxes (3.87 million tons), up 1 percent from May and 29 percent
above last season. Early and mid-season variety production remained at

120 million boxes (5.39 million tons), 12 percent above last year. Harvest of
early, mid, and Navel varieties is complete.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice yield for the 1994-95 season is
forecast at 1.50 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix. This forecast is
unchanged from Yast month but down from last season’s final yield of

1.57 gallons per box. The final yield for early and mid-season varieties is
1.44 gallons per box, down from 1.52 gallons per box last season. The Valencia
crop is expected to yield 1.59 gallons per box, unchanged from last month and
down from 1.66 gallons per box a year ago. The forecast projects the final
yield reported by the Florida Citrus Processors Association.

This report was approved on June 12, 1995, by the Secretary of Agriculture and
the National Agricultural Statistics Service’s Agricultural Statistics Board.
