RELIABILITY OF NOVEMBER 1 PRODUCTION FORECASTS

Crop production forecasts in this report are based primarily on yield surveys taken about
November 1. Some adjustments have been made in harvested acreages published previously. The
yield surveys included mailed reports from farmers for all crops and actual field observations
and measurements for corn, soybeans and cotton. Farmers provided appraisals of crop conditions
and probable yield information for crops on their farms and for their localities. Objective
yield surveys provided smal? plot observations, counts and measurements in a probability sample.
These surveys are subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all
surveys. More importantly, the forecasts are subject to change due to future weather effects
and other factors that cannot be measured currently but directly affect final production.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of production forecasts in this report, the
"Root Mean Square Error“, a statistical measure based on past performance, is shown below for
selected crops. This is computed by expressing the deviations between the November 1 production
forecasts and the final estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared
percentage deviations for the 1960-79 twenty year period; the square root of this average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error". Probability statements can be made concerning ex-
pected errors in the current forecasts relative to the final end of season estimates, assuming
that factors affecting this year's forecast are not different from those influencing recent
years' forecasts.

For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the November 1 corn for grain production fore-
cast is 2.1 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast
of 6461 million bushels will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 2.1 percent
or approximately 136 million bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that
the difference will not exceed 3.6 percent or approximately 233 million bushels.

Also shown in the table is a 10-year (1970-79) record for selected crops of the differences
between the November 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes
between the November 1 forecast and the final estimate during the 10 years have averaged 107 mil-
lion bushels, ranging from 7 million to 203 million bushels. During this 10-year period the
November 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 9 times and above 1 time.

SOYBEANS; VARIETIES GROWN AND ROW SPACING--1980

The Statistics Unit of ESS conducted soybean objective yield surveys in 17 States which
accounted for about 93 percent of the 1980 U.S. soybean production. Plots were randomly
selected from a scientificatly drawn sample of soybean fields which were visited monthly from
about August 1 through harvest to obtain specific counts and measurements.

Sample data and the derived percentages from the surveys presented in the following tables
are not official estimates of the Crop Reparting Board but are intended to show trends in
soybean production practices.

Williams, the leading soybean variety for the fifth consecutive year, accounted for 15.5
percent of the acreage in the 17 States surveyed. This was down from 16.2 percent in 1979.
Williams is grown primarily in the North Central Region. Forrest and Bragg tied for second
place, each with 6.2 percent of the acreage. Forrest was planted in all three regions while
Bragg was planted in the South Central and South Atlantic Regions. Corsoy was the fourth most
‘important variety in the 17 States and was planted in the North Central Region.

Average row space measurements in 1980 decreased from 1979 in all 11 States for which data
were available. The Ohio average row spacing continued narrower than other North Central States
because of the higher percent of the acreage which is drill planted.

WHEAT PASTURE: About 10 percent of the winter wheat seeded in the three-State area of Kansas,
~~ Oklahoma, and Texas had sufficient growth to support grazing on November 1.
This ts about 4 percentage points more than last year. About 4 percent of the acreage was being
grazed compared with less than 1 percent last year. The wheat forage supply rated mostly poor.
It is estimated that 7.8 acres of wheat pasture are needed to carry a 400 pound calf, somewhat
Jess than last year when 8.2 acres were required.

KANSAS (WESTERN): About 98 percent of the intended fall sown wheat had been planted by

November 1, ahead of last year but equal to the average. Growers estimate 9
percent of the acreage had enough growth to support livestock grazing, up 4 points from last
year. However, only about 1 percent of the acreage was being grazed as few stands have
sufficient rooting to allow pasturing. Although August precipitation brought much needed rains
to Kansas, dry weather during September and October continued to hamper fall seeded wheat
germination and growth.

OKLAHOMA (WESTERN): Farmers had planted about 85 percent af the 198} crop winter wheat by

November 1, 5 percent tess than last year and 10 percent later than
average. About 3 percent of the acreage had sufficient growth to provide pasture. Seeding of
the crop was Slowed by lack of moisture and even the early plantings lack growth and proper root
development to support grazing. Rainfall is needed throughout the State.

TEXAS (PANHANDLE AND LOW PLAINS): About 81 percent of the wheat had been sown by November 1,

compared with 90 percent last year. An estimated 67 percent
had emerged, compared with 64 percent a year ago. About 22 percent of the acreage would support
grazing and growers estimate 14 percent of the acreage was being grazed on November 1 compared
with 4 percent last year. Many dryland fields were “dusted” in because of the lack of rainfall
and stands are poor. Irrigated fields are in fair condition, and many are being grazed.

CROP PRODUCTION, NOVEMBER 1980


RICE: Production of rice is forecast at a record high 146 million hundredweight (6.63 million

metric tons), 11 percent greater than last year and 2 percent more than last month's
forecast. The increase from last year results from an increase in acres harvested. The
increase from last month's forecast resulted from improved yield prospects in Arkansas,
Mississippi, Texas and California.

Nationally, yields in 1980 are expected to average 4367 pounds per acre, 219 pounds less
than last year but 98 pounds more than last month's forecast.

Harvest in Arkansas and Mississippi was about 98 percent complete by the beginning of
November. In California harvest was 88 percent complete by the week ending November 2, compared
with 86 percent last year. October weather in California was nearly ideal for harvesting rice,
and combined with increased dryer capacity, harvest progressed at a record pace.

PEANUTS: Peanut production is forecast at 2.30 billion pounds (1.04 million metric tons) net

weight, down 8 percent from the October 1 forecast. The current crop forecast is 42
percent smaller than the 1979 crop, and is the smallest since 1964. High temperatures and
moisture shortages reduced the expected yield this year to 1652 pounds per acre compared with
2611 pounds per acre a year ago. Since October 1, an additional 55,000 acres have been
abandoned, or are only suitable for salvage-harvest for hay. Acreage for harvest for nuts is
now estimated at 1.39 million acres (563 thousand hectares), the least since 1956.

Southeastern production is expected ta total 1.41 billion pounds, 44 percent less than last
year and 2 percent below last month's forecast. The average yield of 1864 pounds per acre
compares with the October 1 forecast of 1899 pounds and with 3085 pounds last year. Harvest in
Georgia was about 95 percent complete, with some growers delaying digging as long as possible in
hopes of adding extra pounds. Florida's harvest was almost complete and yields were not up to
earlier expectations.

The Virginia-North Carolina area is expecting a crop of 420 million pounds, off 7 percent
from last month's forecast and 34 percent less than last year's crop. By November 1, digging
was almost complete but some threshing remained. The two-State yield is expected to be 1563
pounds per acre, down sharply from last year's 2364 pounds per acre and weil below last month's
forecast of 1682 pounds per acre.

Production in the Southwest area is expected to total 465 million pounds -- a 24 percent
drop from the October 1 forecast. If realized, the 1980 production for the region will be off
43 percent from last year. Harvest was at the half-way point in Texas on November 1. Many
fields are being harvested for hay only which has reduced acres for harvest for nuts.
Additional acreage was also abandoned in Oklahoma. Yields are expected to average 1279 pounds
per acre for the region, compared with 1877 pounds per acre last year.

COTTON: The United States cotton crop is forecast at 11.2 million 480 pound net weight bales,

down 3 percent from the October 1 forecast and 23 percent less than in 1979. Upland
production is forecast at 11.1 million bales and American-Pima production is expected to be 97.7
thousand bales. Cottonseed production, based on a three year average lint-seed ratio, is
forecast at 4.40 million tons (3.99 million metric tons), 24 percent below last year.

Upland cotton acreage for harvest is estimated at 13.1 million acres (5.31 million hectares)
and American-Pima acreage at 71.6 thousand acres (29.0 thousand hectares). Yield of upland
cotton is forecast at 407 pounds per acre and American-Pima at 655 pounds.

In the Southeastern States--Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina--growers
expect to harvest 477 thousand bales, down 1 percent from last month's forecast and 25 percent
below last year. Harvest is nearing completion.

Production in the Delta States--Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee--
is forecast at 2.46 million bales, down 1 percent from October 1 and 20 percent less than 1979.
Despite a 3 or 4 day delay caused by rains the last week of October, harvest has made excellent
Progress and was nearly 90 percent complete by November 1.

OCTOBER WEATHER SUMMARY

The weather switched abruptly from hot summer to cool fal) early in October. Weather systems
moved rapidly through the United States with increasingly cooler surges of polar air behind each
system. The cooler air of fall dominated and pushed the warm, moist air of summer eastward and
southward. Heavy showers and thunderstorms resulted when the cool air confronted the warmer air.
During the latter part of the month, precipitation in the North was frequently in the form of
snow. Many of the summer drought areas received enough rain to begin restoring the water
reserves.

During the first five days of the month, an upper trough of low pressure moved slowly
eastward from the Mississippi Valley. It triggered rainfall over much of eastern United States
and brought cooler air to the area behind it and east of the Rockies.

FIRST WEEK...The cooler air moved slowly eastward during the first full week of the month and
warm air pushed over the Rockies into the Plains. Precipitation was confined to the Northeast
and southern Florida early in the week. At midweek, another cold front entered the Pacific
Northwest and brought rain there and to the northern Plateau and central and northern Rockies as
it moved into the northern Plains. This cold front moved rapidly eastward, but rain and a few
Snowshowers were confined to the Great Lakes area and the Northeast as the front moved through.
Meanwhile, another system triggered showers along the west coast from northern California
through Washington.

SECOND WEEK...Another, stronger weather system moved onto the northwest coast. Rain, with
snow at higher elevations, fell in the Pacific Northwest and central Rockies as the storm moved
southeastward. It developed into an intense system as it moved out of the central Rockies and
northeastward. Thunderstorms rumbled over the Plains and snow--up to 4 feet--whitened the
Rockies. The center of the storm moved into Canada but the cold air behind it moved eastward
through much of the United States spreading moderate to heavy rain to a line from eastern Texas
to New England.

THIRD WEEK...The cold air, with its line of showers, moved off the east coast on the first
day and warmer air returned to the Plains. However, at midweek, another storm formed in the
northern Plains and cold air surged in behind it. At the same time a low pressure system off
Florida moved northward along the east coast. Moderate rain and snow covered the previously dry
areas of Montana and spread eastward while the Florida storm lashed the east coast. The rain
was needed in most places but was unwanted in parts of the western Corn Belt where some corn was
still to be harvested.

FOURTH WEEK...Warm, moist air returned to the southern Plains. A low pressure system,
moving out of the central Rockies into the moist air, triggered moderate snow from Nebraska to
northern Illinois and showers and thunderstorms southward to the gulf coast. Some heavy rain
fell along the coast from Louisiana to northern Florida. Colder air moving in behind the storm
spread over eastern United States. Record cold temperatures ensued. The coldest weather of the
season moved into the northern portion of the Gulf Coast States. As the month ended, a warming
trend began in the northern Rockies and Plains. (Prepared by NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural
Weather Facility)

WINTER WHEAT SEEDING

Seeding of the 198] winter wheat crop had reached 91 percent complete at the beginning of
November, slightly behind average. Planting was virtually complete on the Great Plains,
although some reseeding was necessary where moisture was short and early growth slow. About 77
percent of the acreage had emerged and rainfat! in many areas during the second half of the
month improved growth and development. However, in parts of Kansas and Colorado, precipitation
has been limited since planting, and stands are spotty. More rain is needed for germination and
early growth. Overall, crop condition is rated fair to good.

CROP PRODUCTION, NOVEMBER 1980


SORGHUM FOR GRAIN: Production of grain sorghum is forecast at 551 million bushels (14.0 million

metric tons), down 32 percent from a year ago and 26 percent below 1978.
Acreage to be harvested for grain is estimated at 12.1 million acres (4.92 million hectares), 6
percent less than last year and 10 percent less than 1978. Yields are expected to average 45.3
bushels per harvested acre, 17.6 bushels less than last year's record high average yield of 62.9
bushels and 9.8 bushels below 1978.

By November 2, harvest was approximately 86 percent complete in the major producing States.
Combining was drawing to a close in Texas and Nebraska. Recent freezing temperatures in the
Texas Panhandle have hastened maturity and drying in scattered areas with some damage noted in
later planted fields. Many central Oklahoma fields continued to be cut for hay as a result of
drought-reduced yields. Cool weather has helped reduce jnsect problems in Kansas, but
accompanying moisture has slowed harvest. Colorado harvest continued ahead of schedule under
good conditions,

SOYBEANS: Soybean production is forecast at 1.77 billion bushels (48.3 million metric tons), up

1 percent from last month but 22 percent less than the record crop of 1979, Downward
adjustments from last month in acres for harvest partially offset higher yields. Yield per acre
is now indicated at 26.5 bushels, 0.4 bushel above last month but 5.7 bushels below last year's
record high,

Compared with a month ago, the yield forecasts increased 1 bushel in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa
and Kansas. Michigan and Maryland yields increased 2 bushels, while North Carolina's forecast
dropped 1 bushel. Other States were unchanged from last month.

Acreage changes were made in three States. The Arkansas acreage is off 250 thousand acres,
Alabama off 100 thousand and South Carolina off 50 thousand acres from a month ago. Abandonment
was greater than anticipated earlier

As of November 2, soybean combining in the 18 major States advanced to 77 percent complete,
equal to last year but 3 points ahead of average. Progress in the Delta and the Southeast

continued later than normal because of delays caused by wet weather. In other areas, only
Minnesota failed to exceed the average progress for this date.

CORN CROPPING PRACTICES
PLANT POPULATION PER ACRE AND ROW WIDTHS

The Statistics Unit of ESS collects objective information on corn
development during the production period. Counts and measurements are made by
trained enumerators during visits to random plots in a scientific sampling of
fields in States which accounted for about 93 percent of the 1980 corn
production. Information in the following tables represents sample data and
averages from these counts. The data, which are subject to sampling
fluctuation, are not official Crop Reporting Board estimates but do show
trends in corn cropping practices over a period of years.

The trend in plant population per acre continued upward in 1980. Thirteen
States showed increases and three declined. Average row widths tended to
decrease slightly with 10 States showing decreases and six States showing
increases.

Harvest remains active in California under favorable weather conditions. Last year's late
harvest in the Sacramento Valley and late planting this spring caused some virus infestations
which have reduced yields. Harvest in the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota was
virtually complete by November 2. Fields were muddy the last half of October as a result of
rains and snow. Favorable weather conditions in Idaho put harvest slightly ahead of normal.
Good sugar content is expected. About 90 percent of the Michigan crop had been harvested by
November 2. Digging was difficult during much of the last half of October because of wet fields
but improved at the end of the month. Digging was nearing completion in Nebraska and was 90
percent complete in Colorado by November 2.

SUGARCANE: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 27.8 mitlion tons (25.2

million metric tons), up 1 percent from the October 1 forecast and 5 percent greater
than the 1979 production, The increase from the October 1 forecast is the result of an increase
in expected yield in Louisiana.

Florida's cane crop made excellent progress during October and yield prospects continue to
be good to excellent. Harvesting of sugarcane for sugar got underway during October and should
increase rapidly during November. Cutting of cane for seed and planting continued active during
October.

Weather remained favorable in Hawaii for good crop growth. Rainfall, especially in the
windward areas, kept moisture levels adequate. Irrigation continues where facilities are
available. Some mills are preparing to end grinding by mid-November for their annual repairs.

Louisiana's cane crop is in fair condition. Planting of the 1981 crop was nearing
completion by the end of the month. Harvest began in mid-October. The Texas sugarcane crop is
in good condition and has shown little effect from earlier storm damage. Harvest is underway.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: The condition of pasture and range feed on November 1 in the 48

contiguous States averaged 65 percent. This is 12 points less than
both a year ago and the 1969-78 average for this date. Reported current condition is the lowest
for November 1 in 17 years. Throughout the South and across the Southern Plains, pastures
showed evidence of regrowth resulting from October rains, although growth was slowed by cool
temperatures toward the end of the month. In many States short on available forage, producers
were grazing livestock in harvested corn and grain sorghum fields as well as in winter wheat
fields with sufficient growth. Livestock at higher elevations continued to move down to fall
and winter range. Most of the Corn Belt, the Lakes States, and States west of the Rockies had
good to excellent pasture conditions, while major portions of Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and
Louisiana continued to suffer from drought.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii production of fresh papayas in November is forecast at 4.60 million pounds

(2090 metric tons), a decline of 14 percent from October but 18 percent more than
November a year ago. A continuous increase in fresh output is expected through the remaining
winter season. A 2 percent increase is expected in December, to be followed by a 6 percent
increase in January. Fresh production is forecast at 5.05 million pounds (2290 metric tons) for
February 1981, more than double this past February's total.

The October fresh production estimate of 5.36 million pounds (2430 metric tons) was the
highest monthly total in two years and indicates that the papaya crop has recovered from the
effects of severe storms during the past two winter seasons.

Total area in crop is estimated at 3040 acres (1230 hectares} for October, unchanged from
September, but up 2 percent from a year ago. Area harvested in October rose 1] percent from a
month earlier to 1945 acres (790 hectares).

PRUNES: The California prune crop (dried basis) is forecast at 165 thousand tons (150 thousand

metric tons), 24 percent more than last year's crop but unchanged from the September 1
forecast. Harvest was completed September 20. Harvest weather was favorable, but cool weather
limited sugar content and fruit was smaller than last year.

CRANBERRIES: The final forecast of U.S. cranberry production is for a record crop of 2.72

million barrels (123 thousand metric tons), 10 percent more than the 1979 crop and
6 percent above prospects on October 1.

CROP PRODUCTION, NOVEMBER 1980 A-12 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESS, USDA


Texas and Oklahoma growers expect to harvest 3.67 million bales of upland cotton, down 6
percent from last month and 39 percent below last year. Harvest is about one week ahead of last
year's pace. A hard freeze the last week of October defoliated plants and allowed harvest ing
operations to move rapidly. Abandonment of low yielding acreage continues.

The Arizona, California and New Mexico upland crop is forecast at 4.52 million bales, 3
percent below last month and down 6 percent from 1979. Favorable growing conditions continued
through October and growers delayed harvest as fruit development continued. Harvest is about
one week behind last year's pace.

The Bureau of the Census reports 4,603,219 running bales ginned prior to November 1 compared
with 4,798,539 bales ginned to the same date last year and 4,658,643 bales in 1978.

ORY EDIBLE BEANS: Production of dry edible beans is expected to reach 24.3 million cwt (1.10

million metric tons) this year, up 18 percent from 1979 output ana 1 percent
above last month's forecast. The average yield of 1360 pounds per acre is up 7 pounds from
Gctober 1 as harvest approached completion, but is down 97 pounds from last year. Acreage for
harvest at 1.79 million acres (723 thousand hectares) is up 26 percent from last year.

California dry bean harvest is continuing with heavy activity in major producing areas.
Ideal weather has provided excellent conditions to harvest a good quality crop with little bean
damage. Harvest in Colorado was completed in mid-October with ideal harvest weather. Yields
were generally better than earlier anticipated. Better yields were also experienced in
Wyoming. Growers in Idaho and North Dakota express anxiety for late maturing fields. North
Dakota had snow and Idaho rain, but by the end of October most beans were harvested.

Michigan's harvest progress through the season ran about the same as normal. Yields varied
over a wide scale, corresponding with varying conditions under which the crop has grown this
year. Harvest was virtually completed a month ago in Nebraska. Rain lessened shatter loss on
late fields. In Washington, favorable harvest conditions continued through October. The
growing season turned out favorable, despite the eruptions of Mt. St. Helens.

TOBACCO: Production of al) tobacco this year is expected to total 1.78 billion pounds (808
~~ thousand metric tons), up 17 percent from the 1.53 billion pounds (692 thousand metric
tons) produced in 1979.

Flue-cured production is forecast at 1.10 billion pounds (497 thousand metric tons), 16
percent more than the 1979 crop. Yield per acre of 1956 pounds is up 64 pounds from last year.
Markets are closing with only a few clean up sales remaining in Virginia and North Carolina.

Fire-cured output dropped 23 percent from 1979 to 34.5 million pounds (15.7 thousand metric
tons}. Yield is down 200 pounds from last year.

Burley production is estimated at 555 million pounds (252 thousand metric tons), up 25
percent from a year earlier. Stripping is about one-fifth complete in Kentucky.

Southern Maryland output is forecast at 23.1 million pounds (30.5 thousand metric tons).
This production ¥S°5 percent above both the October 1 forecast and last year.

Dark-air-cured prospects indicate a 15.1 million pound crop (6850 metric tons), 10 percent
smaller than last year's crop of 16.7 million pounds (7580 metric tons).

All_cigar-type production is forecast at 57.2 million pounds (25.9 thousand metric tons), 10
percent above a5. Cigar-filler types totaled 25.3 million pounds (11.5 thousand metric tons),
binder types 27.0 million pounds (12.2 thousand metric tons) and wrapper types 4.90 million
pounds (2220 metric tons).

SUGARBEETS: The Nation's sugarbeet crop is forecast at 22.9 million tons (20.8 million metric

tons), down 2 percent from the October | forecast as a result of lower yields in
California, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota and Texas. However, production at this
level is 4 percent above 1979 because of increased acreage for harvest.

In Kansas, winter wheat seeding reached 97 percent complete by November 2. Fields were
seeded under very dry conditions. Germination was limited and stands spotty in major wheat
producing areas. Some fields have been replanted and more rain is needed for germination and
early growth. Where available, irrigation is being used to get the crop up. Wheat land
suitable for pasturing is limited. Seeding reached 85 percent complete in Oklahoma and 84
percent in Texas by November 2. Good stands were emerging in Texas and a few fields were
providing grazing. In Colorado, stands were beginning to show stress from lack of topsoil
moisture. Germination has been slow and stands are spotty, particularly on late-seeded fields.
Planting in Nebraska was complete. Germination, growth and development improved after rains in
mid-October. Montana seedings were completed during the month. A wet October restored soil
moisture supplies and crop condition as of November 2 was good except in the North Central
region where moisture was lacking earlier. Planting in South Dakota was finished. Additional
growth would be beneficial for survival through the winter.

Crop conditions in Washington were average or better in most areas. Soil moisture improved
significantly with rains at midmonth, raising prospects for the 1981 crop.

CORN FOR GRAIN: Production of corn for grain is forecast at 6.46 billion bushels (164 million
metric tons). This is virtually unchanged from last month's forecast but 17
percent less than last year's record crop.

Average yield per acre is forecast at 90.8 bushels per acre, unchanged from last month's
forecast but 18.6 bushels below last year's record yield of 109.4 bushels.

Acreage for grain at 71.2 million acres (28.8 million hectares) is-unchanged from last month
and is fractionally above last year's harvested acreage.

Corn harvesting in the 17 major producing States on November 2 was 86 percent complete, well
ahead of last year's late season when 54 percent was harvested and the average of 71 percent.
Progress in all 17 States continued ahead of last year. All States except Michigan topped the
average harvest progress for this date. Harvest progressed rapidly in the Lakes States after
earlier delays caused by wet conditions. However, some fields are still wet and farmers will
wait until the ground freezes so that machinery won't bog down. Growers in some northern areas
of the Corn Belt contended with high moisture content in their corn, but in most other areas
moisture content was below normal.

CROP PRODUCTION, NOVEMBER 1980 B-16 CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESS, USDA


Prospects improved in Massachusetts and Wisconsin but declined in Oregon. Harvest in
Massachusetts was delayed to obtain good color but was 80 percent complete by November 1.
Harvest was complete in Wisconsin and mostly completed in New Jersey. Washington growers
expected to wind up harvest about November 10. On November 1, harvest was only half completed
in Oregon as growers held off to allow more coloring.

FILBERTS: The production estimate for filberts in Oregon and Washington continues at 14.0

thousand tons (12.7 thousand metric tons), 8 percent more than last year's production
but slightly less than the 1978 crop. Although the crop matured later than normal, good weather
during October allowed harvest to progress to virtual completion by the end of the month.
Quality is good but sizes are not up to earlier expectations.

GRAPEFRUIT: Prospects for the 1980-81 season, excluding California's “Other areas" grapefruit,

point to a grapefruit crop of 68.9 million boxes (2.57 million metric tons),
fractionally above last month's forecast but 1 percent less than last season. The first
forecast for California “Other areas" grapefruit will be published December 10. Production in
the "Other areas" was 3.30 million boxes in 1979-80. The October 1 forecast for Florida of 53.0
million boxes is carried forward for this report. The Texas production forecast continues at
9.00 million boxes, 14 percent above the 1979-80 harvest. Picking began in early October but
was interrupted by rains which may increase fruit size. Harvest is gaining momentum and fruit
has good quality and color. The Arizona forecast of 3.10 million boxes is up 7 percent from
last month and 3 percent from last season. California Desert Valley growers expect to harvest
3.80 million boxes, the same as the forecast a month earlier, but 10 percent below the 1979-80
production. Movement of the 1980-81 crop got underway slowly in October with very high quality
and good sized fruit.

LEMONS: The Arizona-California lemon crop is forecast at 28.9 million boxes (996 thousand
metric tons), 12 percent more than last month's forecast and 39 percent above’ last
season.

TANGERINES: The 1980-81 tangerine crop is expected to total 6.25 million boxes (248 thousand

metric tons), unchanged from last month's forecast and 1 percent less than last
season. The Florida forecast is carried forward from October 1. The California forecast at
1.65 million boxes is the same as last season. Arizona growers expect to harvest 700 thousand
boxes, 7 percent less than was harvested last season.
