CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1984 B-7 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


NECTARINES: The first forecast of California's nectarine crop is for 170 thou-

sand tons (154 thousand metric tons), 9 percent less than last
year and 4 percent below 1982. The crop is developing nicely with good size
and quality. Shipments of early varieties such as Maybelle, Armking, and May
Grand underway.

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

thousand metric tons), 3 percent less than last year but 11
percent more than 1982. Although fruit size fs good, the set is less than
last year. Quality is expected to be good. Trees have benefited from the
warm, dry winter and spring.

PLUMS: California production is forecast at a record high 210 thousand tons,

(191 thousand metric tons), up 33 percent from 1983 and 78 percent
more than 1982. If realized the crop would be 6 percent more than the
Previous record high set in 1981. Spring weather conditions were better than
the last two years but bloom was erratic because of the lack of chill hours.
The set, however, is excetlent. High winds in April and May scared some
fruit. Harvest on early varieties began in mid-May.

ALMONDS: California's record high forecast is for $50 million pounds (204

thousand metric tons), shelled basis, unchanged from the May 1 fore-
cast but 88 percent higher than last year. Limb breakage has been a problem
because of the heavy set of nuts, Nonpareil, the major variety, has a very
large set. Production loss due to limb breakage is not expected to exceed 3
to 5 percent. Development of the crop is 1 to 2 weeks ahead of normal.

SWEET CHERRIES: Production in six Western States is forecast at 153 thousand
tons (139 thousand metric tons), down 3 percent from a year
ago but 27 percent above the 1982 crop.

The California forecast of 34.0 thousand tons is more than double the 1983
crop. Harvest is rapidly drawing to @ close.

Oregon's crop is forecast at 37.0 thousand tons, down 18 percent from a
year ago. Cold, wet weather, brown rot and blossom blast have presented
problems, The fruit, however, should be of good size and quality.

Washington's crop of 72.0 thousand tons fs down 19 percent from last
year's record crop. Cherries are sizing well and prospects are good.

TART CHERRIES: Production in Colorado, Oregon, and Utah is forecast at 19.9

million pounds (9030 metric tons), down 37 percent from the
1983 crop but 38 percent above 1982. Adverse weather Conditions reduced bloom
and set in Oregon and Utah, Utah and Colorado had damaging spring freezes.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: As of June 1, pasture and range feed con-

dition is 79 percent compared with 85 per-
cent last year and 83 percent for the 1973-82 average for the date. Conditions
were more favorable than Tast year in 13 States, Tess in 34 and equal in one
State. With the exceptian of Montana and the southwestern United States from
California to Texas, most areas had ample moisture during May. Texas's
pasture and range condition is only 39 percent compared with 67 last year and
78 percent average. Montana's condition is 65 percent compared with 85 last
year and 80 percent average. The cool spring weather delayed the pasture
growth. However, by midmonth the pasture growth increased substantially with
the warm weather.

POTATOES: Spring potato production is forecast at 23.2 million cwt (1.05 mil~

lion metric tons) for 1984, up 27 percent from last year and 13
percent above two years ago. Ouring May, production prospects improved in
Arizona, Louisiana, and Florida. Lack of rain, however, hurt yield prospects
in Alabama and Western Florida. Area for harvest is estimated at 84.7
thousand acres (34.3 thousand hectares), a gain of 9 percent from each of the
last two years. The average yield improved during May to a record 274 cwt per
acre, 37 cwt above last year and 10 cwt above 1982.

RELIABILITY OF JUNE 1 WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECAST

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

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the June 1 winter wheat
production forecast, the “Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based
on past performance, is computed. This is done by expressing the deviation
between the June 1 production forecast and the final estimate as a percentage
of the final estimate, and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the
1964-1983 twenty-year period; the square root of the average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error“. Probability statements can be
made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year’s
forecast are not different from those influencing recent years.

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the June 1 winter wheat production
forecast is 5.8 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast of 1.97 billion bushets will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 5.8 percent or approximately 114 million
bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 10.0 percent or approximately 197 million bushels.
Differences between the June 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 96.1 million bushels, ranging
from 15 million to 174 million bushels. The June 1 forecast has been below
the final estimate 7 times and above 3 times.

WINTER WHEAT: Production forecast, at 1.97 billion bushels (53.7 million

metric tons), is down 1 percent from 1983. Yield expected to
average 38.2 bushels per acre, down 3.6 bushels from last year's record high.
Growers expect to harvest 51.6 million acres (20.9 million hectares) for
grain, up 8 percent from 1983's harvest of 47.7 million acres (19.3 million
hectares). Indicated area for harvest is 79 percent of the planted area.
Farmers harvested 76 percent of the planted acres a year ago.

Condition rated generally fair to good. Crop development trailed average
Progress by over one week across the Great Plains. In the 15 major producing
States, 68 percent of the acreage was headed as of June 3, 10 points behind
average, Harvest progress behind average across most of the South. Texas
Producers had combined 26 percent of their acreage; Oklahoma harvest, 5
percent complete.

MAY WEATHER SUMMARY

Above-normal rain through the Corn Belt, the South, and the East slowed
planting and fieldwork, but by the end of the month most planting was near
normal despite the rain. Heavy rain through much of the Rio Grande Valley
relieved drought conditions but much of the Texas high and low Plains and
central Texas remained very dry. Dry weather also prevailed in the northern
Plains, the western Great Lakes, parts of the Southwest, and the central
Plateau. The Southwest was much warmer than normal and the warm area spread
northeastward over the central Plateau. The Northwest and the East were
cooler than normal, 3-5 degrees cooler across the Corn Belt. (Prepared by
NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility.)

MAY FIELOWORK

Widespread rainfall delayed fieldwork across the eastern half of the
Nation for most of May. Land preparation and planting fell further behind
schedule until midmonth when a week of generally open weather allowed rapid
Progress. Abnormally cool temperatures slowed emergence and development of
most crops for much of the month from the northern Plains to the east coast.
Dryland crops and ranges were severely stressed by persistent hot, dry weather
from California through Texas. Soi) moisture was generally adequate to
surplus elsewhere during the month, except in Montana where some shortages
were evident.

At the beginning of May, corn planting was 5 percent finished, 8 points
less than average. By June 3, planting had reached 90 percent completion, 7
point behind average. Progress was 26 points behind normal in Pennsylvania
and 6 points behind in Illinois. Georgia and North Carolina corn plantings
were complete at the end of the month. Fields began silking across the South
at the month's end and stands were rated fair to mostly good.

Soybean planting in the major producing States was 51 percent complete by
June 3, lagging the average of 60 percent. Planting was behind in all States,
except Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Mississippi. Progress was
36 points behind average in Michigan, 25 in Ohio and 23 in Alabama. Emerged
plants were in mostly fair to good condition.

Sorghum planting, by dune 3, was 53 percent finished in the 7 major
States, 3 points ahead of the average progress. However, progress was 20
Points behind normal in Nebraska and 18 points behind in South Dakota. In
contrast, Texas producers were 15 points ahead of their average.

In the 14 major cotton States, 80 percent of the acreage was planted by
early June. This compares with 76 percent a year earlier and the 84 percent
average. Planting in Texas was 65 percent finished. Producers had completed
Planting in Arizona, California, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, and
South Carolina by the end of May. In southern areas, early planted fields
were 8 percent squared by the end of the month, equaling the average.

Abnormally cool weather slowed winter wheat development, however stands
were in fair to good condition as May ended. Stands in portions of Texas and
the Southwest matured rapidly because of persistent hot, dry weather. In the
major States 68 percent of the acreage was headed by June 3, compared with the
T® percent average. Stands were turning color across the South. Warvesting
gained momentum in extreme southern areas, reaching 26 percent finished in
Texas by early June.

Spring wheat seeding got off to an early start and progressed rapidly.
Seeding in the major producing States reach 99 percent completion as of June
3, 4 points ahead of average. The crop had emerged on 89 percent of the
acreage. Stands were rated fair to good, despite short soil moisture supplies
in some areas.

Rice seeding was 95 percent finished, 1 point ahead of normal. Texas and
Mississippi producers were finished. Planting was ahead of schedule in all
States except Arkansas, which was 17 point behind average.

Peanut planting was virtually complete in the Southeast and 33 percent
finished in Texas as the month ended. Early planted fields had begun
blooming. Tobacco transplanting was in full swing by late May. However,
Progress was behind schedule because of persistent wet conditions in most
areas.

California, 38 percent complete.

LEMONS: The forecast for Arizona and California totals 21.0 mi}lion boxes (724

thousand metric tons), down 2 percent from last month, and 16 percent
Tess than fast season, The Cafifornia forecast at %7.0 million boxes, is 3
percent less than last month and 15 percent below 1982-83. Harvest is 95

APRICOTS: The first forecast of the 1984 U.S. apricot crop is for 124 thou-
~~~ sand tons (112 thousand metric tons), 30 percent more than last year
and 9 percent above 1982. California's crop is forecast at 120 thousand tons,
32 percent higher than last season and 8 percent above 1982.

There was a tack of chilling hours in California during the winter
which reduced yield potential, but the extremely warm, dry spring brought on a
second bloom that aided the crop tremendously. A smal} amount’of the crop is
being picked currently for the fresh market only. Washington is expecting an
excellent crop, but the Utah crop suffered a spring frost which did
considerable damage.

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1984 B-1 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


California's production is forecast at 11.1 million cwt, one-third above
last year. Harvest is in full swing with Long Whites about 65 percent
harvested, and Centennials increasing. Centennial quality is excellent, with
a high percentage of number I's. Cool weather in early June has slowed
maturing. Arizona potatoes improved § percent during May to a production
forecast of 1.65 million cwt. Yields have been good so far and should remain
high, barring excessive rain or hot weather.

Harvest in Texas started in early May in the Rio Grande Valley. Yields
are good despite dry weather during the season. In both the San Antonio-Winter
Garden and Knox-Haskell areas, irrigation has been used extensively to maintain
good growth. Harvest in both areas should start in early June.

Dry weather during the past two months has reduced prospects in Alabama and
the Florida Panhandle. However, the bulk of Florida and Louisiana have better
prospects than a month ago. Harvest in Florida was active during May, but ts
slowing in June because of low prices. Record yields are expected in the
Hastings area and potatoes have good size and quality. North Carolina growers
note a slight improvement in crop conditions from a month ago.

SWEETPOTATOES - 1983 REVISED: Production in 1983 totaled 12.1 million cwt (548

thousand metric tons), down 15 percent from
1982 and 5 percent be)ow 198) ovtput- Area harvested, at 102 thousand acres
(41.4 thousand hectares), was the second smallest of record, stightly ahead of
the small 1980 crop. Harvested acreage was down 8 percent from 1982 and 6
percent below 1981. Yields averaged 118 cwt per acre, 11 cwt below 1982, but
1 cwt above 1981. North Carolina's production fell 23 percent from 1982,
Louisiana’s output was down 9 percent, and California's production was down 2
percent.

SUGAR CROPS - 1983 REVISED: Production of sugarbeets in 1983 totaled 21.0 mil-
— — lion tons (19.1 million metric tons), up 1 percent
from the 20.9 million tons (19.0 million metric tons) produced in 1982.
Increased acreage was partially offset by lower yield. Growers harvested 1.06
million acres (a2 thousand hectares) in 1983, 3 percent more than a year
earlier. The average yield of 19.9 tons per acre in 1983 was 0.4 ton below the
previous year.

Sugarcane processed for sugar in 1983 totaled 27.2 million tons (24.7
million metric tons), 4 percent less than in 1982. Lower yields which in part
reflected freeze damage, were only partially offset by increased acreage.
Yfeld per acre averaged 37.1 tons per acre, a drop of 2.5 tons from 1982.
Sugarcane was harvested for sugar from 733 thousand acres (297 thousand
hectares), an increase of 2 percent from a year earlier.

Total 1983 sugar production from sugarcane and sugarbeets of 5.60 million
tons raw value (5.08 million metric tons} was down 3 percent from the 1982
output of 5,80 million tons (5.26 millton metric tons). The 2,93 million tons
(2.66 million metric tons) raw value produced from cane was off 4 percent from
1982. Sugarbeets sliced from the 1983 crop totaled 20.5 million tons (18.6
million metric tons) virtually the same as the year before. Sugar (raw value)
produced from the 1983 slice totaled 2.67 million tons (2.42 million metric
tons), a 2 percent decline from a year earlier and the lowest production since
1967,

CROP PRODUCTION, JUNE 1984 A-11 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA



PEACHES: The forecast of 2.53 billion pounds (1.15 million metric tons) is 41
percent more than last year's crop and 10 percent more than 1982.

The nine Southern States are expected to produce 758 million pounds, 3
percent less than last month's forecast, but two and a half times as much as
the smal? 1983 crop. Georgta and South Carolina prospects fell 5 and 20
million pounds, respectively from May 1. Hail damage was the main cause of
the reduction. There was no change in the production forecast in other States.

The crop from Ohio to Pennsylvania through New England has generally been
reduced because of varying degrees of winter kill.

The California Freestone crop, at 440 million pounds, is up 1 percent from
a year ago. Harvest has started on early varieties and quality is expected to
be good, The Clingstone crop, at 950 million pounds, is up 53 percent from
1983. The set has been large and quality should be good.

BARTLETT PEARS: Production in California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast
at 420 thousand tons (381 thousand metric tons), down 9 per-
cent from 1983 and off 20 percent from 1982.

California‘s expected production of 275 thousand tons is 6 percent more
than 1983. The crop bloomed under favorable conditions and the warm, dry
winter and spring have also aided development. There is some concern, however,
that sizing will be smaller than the last several years.

The Oregon production forecast of 45.0 thousand tons is down 29 percent
from 1983. Poor pollination in the Hood River area caused by cool, wet
weather, is the main reason for the reduction. Prospects in the Medford area
are generally good.

Washington's expected production of 100 thousand tons is off 29 percent
from a year ago. (Cold temperatures im December caused the decrease.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production in June is forecast at 5.40 million
———~" pounds (2450 metric tons}, a 7 percent drop from the previous month,
but 15 percent above the level of a year ago. Production is expected to
remain at 5.40 million pounds (2450 metric tons) in July, climb to a
record-setting 7.00 million pounds (3180 metric tons) in August, then drop to
6.20 millfon pounds (2810 metric tons) in September.

May fresh production is estimated at 5.80 million pounds (2630 metric
tons), a 15 percent decline from the record high level of the previous month,
but 22 percent above May last year. Total area in papayas dropped 1 percent
from April to 3690 acres (1490 hectares). However, area harvested in May,
totaling 2585 acres (1050 hectares), increased 3 percent from the previous
month and 24 percent from the previous year.

ORANGES: All oranges are forecast at 172 million boxes (6.69 million metric

tons) for 1983-84, 1 percent less than the May 1 forecast, and 23
percent below 1982-83 season. Floridats crop, at 119 million boxes, is
unchanged from May 1 and 15 percent less than last season. Production of
early and mid-season oranges was 69.7 million boxes. Harvest is complete.
The Florida Valencia forecast continues at 49.0 million boxes, 29 percent less
than 1982-83. Harvest is 83 percent complete. The California Navel forecast
is for 33.7 million boxes, 1 percent less than May 1 and 16 percent below
1982-83. Harvest of the Navel crop is complete. California's Valencia
forecast is for 16.0 million boxes, 11 percent less than May 1 and 55 percent
below last season. Harvest is 32 percent complete.

Arizona's crop is forecast at 1.85 million boxes, down 14 percent from
Yast month and 517 percent Yess than last season. Arizona harvest is 98
percent complete.

Changes in U.S. orange production between the June 1 forecast and final
production averaged 3.38 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from
a_Jow of 210 thousand boxes in 1973-74 to a high of 7.60 million boxes in the
1976-77 season.
