APRIL FIELDWORK

Land preparation and spring planting advanced slowly in many parts of the Nation during the
first half of April, but made rapid progress during the latter part of the month. Farmers
generally had only 1 to 3 days per week suitable for fieldwork during much of April. Late in
the month, 4 to 7 days per week were suitable for fieldwork in all parts of the Nation except
the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, and South Central States where wet soils continued to delay
fieldwork. Spring plowing and planting were ahead of schedule in the Corn Belt by the end of
April, but slightly behind in the Southeast.

Corn planting advanced to 38 percent complete by May 4. This was ahead of last year's slow
Progress of only 10 percent and the 5-year average of 25 percent. During the week ending May 4,
Iowa farmers had planted 52 percent of their corn crop, Illinois farmers 38 percent and
Minnesota, Missouri, and Nebraska farmers about a third of their corn crop. The east north
central States reported 27 percent planted, compared with 4 percent last year and the average of
22 percent. The west north central States reached 43 percent planted, compared with 4 percent
last year and the 21 percent average. The southeastern States, with 78 percent planted,
continued to lag last year's 83 percent and the average of 81 percent.

Cotton planting, excluding California and Arizona, was 24 percent complete--ahead of last
year's 22 percent but short of the 28 percent average. California cotton planting was 97 percent
complete and Arizona stood at 80 percent. All major States except North Carolina, South
Carolina, and Tennessee lagged the average. Texas cotton planting reached 21 percent, 2 points
ahead of last year but 1 point short of the average. Seeding in Texas gained momentum on the
Plains as April ended.

Spring wheat seeding, excluding Montana, reached 76 percent complete, well ahead of last
year's 13 percent and the average of 48 percent. Montana farmers had seeded 70 percent of their
acreage. Minnesota producers at 87 percent complete planted 36 percent of the acreage during
the week ending May 4. Oats planting, excluding Pennsylvania, stood at 83 percent complete,
ahead of 1979's 39 percent and the 59 percent average for the date. Progress ranged from 35
percent in Michigan to 99 percent in Iowa with only Michigan and Ohio lagging the average.
Barley seeding, excluding Montana and Wyoming, was 73 percent completed, compared with 21
percent a year ago and the average of 46 percent. Emergence of spring planted grains in the
northern Plains is spotty because of the lack of moisture.

Grain sorghum planting.reached northward into’Nebraska and averaged 26 percent planted in
the major producing States, compared with 1979's 25 percent and the 24 percent average.

Excluding California, rice seeding stood at 64 percent, falling between 1979's 57 percent
and the 75 percent average. California rice seeding reached 55 percent, ahead of last year's 44
percent.

Soybean planting was just getting underway by the end of the month with Georgia the most
advanced at 6 percent. .

Peanut planting reached 30 percent, 15 points behind last year and the average.

WINTER WHEAT: Production of winter wheat is forecast at a record high 1.71 billion bushels (46.6

million metric tons) based on May 1 conditions. This is 6 percent more than last
year's production of 1.61 billion bushels (43.8 million metric tons) and 37 percent more than
two years ago. The previous record high production of 1.64 billion bushels (44.6 million metric
tons) was set in 1975, Increased acreage for harvest in 1980 more than offset lower yield
prospects. The current prospective production is 9 percent more than the December 1, 1979
forecast. Farmers expect to harvest more acres for grain and yield prospects have improved
since December.

This is the smallest crop grown since 1943 when 1.41 billion pounds (638 thousand metric
tons) were produced. The acreage reduction from 1978 resulted mainly from reduced effective
poundage quotas in both flue-cured and burley types. Also contributing to the reduced
harvested acreage was excess water, blue mold damage and the use of a herbicide contaminated
fertilizer in the Carolinas. The 282 pound drop in yield from 1978 resulted from widespread
blue mold damage and an extremely wet growing season.

Flue-cured production in 1979 is placed at 945 million pounds (429 thousand metric tons), 23
percent below the 1978 crop. Acreage harvested at 500 thousand acres (202 thousand hectares)
was 15 percent less than the 1978 acreage. Yield per acre for types 11-14 averaged 1892 pounds
per acre compared with 2090 pounds in 1978.

Burley production at 446 million pounds (202 thousand metric tons) dropped 29 percent from the
million pounds (284 thousand metric tons) produced in 1978. The crop was harvested from
238 thousand acres (96.2 thousand hectares), down 9 percent from the 1978 acreage.

Fire-cured production for 1979 is estimated at 45.0 million pounds (20.4 thousand metric tons),
down 23 percent from the 1978 production. The crop was grown on 26.9 thousand acres (10.9
thousand hectares), down 19 percent from the previous year. Yields averaged 1674 pounds per
acre, 81 pounds below the previous year.

Southern Maryland 1979 crop output is estimated at 26.4 million pounds (12.0 thousand metric
ton), 14 percent below the 1978 output. Acreage harvested at 22.0 thousand acres (8900

hectares) was the same as the previous year. Yield per acre at 1200 pounds compares with 1390
pounds in 1978, Auction sales for the 1979 crop opened in April and will close in June 1980.
Revisions, if necessary, will be published in the August Crop Production Report.

Dark air-cured production is estimated at 16.7 million pounds (7580 metric tons), 27 percent
Tess than the 23.0 million pounds (10.5 thousand metric tons) produced in 1978. The 1979 crop
was harvested from 10.2 thousand acres (4140 hectares), 15 percent below the 1978 acreage.
Yields averaged 1633 pounds per acre, compared with 1923 pounds in 1978.

Cigar-filler growers produced 19.6 million pounds (8910 metric tons) on 12.5 thousand acres
(5060 hectares) during 1979, averaging 1572 pounds per acre. During 1978, 28.2 million pounds
(12,8 thousand metric tons) were produced on 14.6 thousand acres (5910 hectares).

Cigar-binder production at 28.5 million pounds (12.9 thousand metric tons) increased 24 percent
from the 22.9 million pounds (10.4 thousand metric tons) produced in 1978. A 7 percent
increase in harvested acres and an increase of 267 pounds per acre in yield accounted for the
larger production.

Cigar-wrapper production in 1979 is estimated at 4.00 million pounds (1820 metric tons), 6
percent qove 1978. Acreage harvested was virtually unchanged from 1978, but yield per acre
increased 80 pounds to 1472 pounds.

COTTON, 1979 REVISED: Cotton production in 1979 totaled 14.6 million bales, 35 percent more

than in 1978 and 2 percent above 1977. Upland cotton accounted for 14.5
million bales and American-Pima 98.6 thousand bales of the 1979 production. The increased
production resulted from a 4 percent increase in harvested acres and a record high yield of 548
pounds per acre, 21 pounds above the previous record high set in 1965. Following planting
delays caused by wet soils in the Delta States and the High Plains of Texas, favorable growing
and harvesting conditions prevailed for most of the rest of the crop season.

Planted acreage in 1979 totaled 13.9 million acres (5.64 million hectares), 4 percent
more than in 1978. Eight percent of the planted acreage was abandoned resulting in a harvested
acreage of 12.8 million acres (5.19 million hectares). Yield per harvested acre for Upland
cotton was a record high 548 pounds, compared with 420 pounds last year and the previous
record high of 526 pounds in 1965. American-Pima yield at 531 pounds per acre was 59 pounds
less than in 1978 and 193 pounds below the 1977 record high. Cottonseed production amounted to
5.78 million tons (5.24 million metric tons) compared with 4.27 million tons (3.87 million
metric tons) in 1978.

The Bureau of the Census reported 14,261,922 running bales ginned from the 1979 crop, 35
percent more than in 1978. Ginnings totaled 14,620,077 equivalent 480-pound net weight bales.

The preliminary 1979 season average price for lint is 62.6 cents per pound, up 4.2 cents
from the 1978 season average price. Average price for cottonseed at $122.00 per ton is 7
percent above the previous year. Value of lint and seed for the 1979 crop totaled $5.10
billion, 44 percent above 1978.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the May 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 May 1 production forecast and
the final estimate as a percentage of the final estimate, and averaging the squared percentage
deviations for the 1960-1979 twenty-year period; the square root of the average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error". Probability statements can be made concerning
expected errors 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 year
forecasts,

The "Root Mean Square Error” for the May 1 winter wheat production forecast is 6.7
percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast of 1711
million bushels will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 6.7 percent or
approximately 115 million bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that
the difference will not exceed 11.6 percent or approximately 198 million bushels. Differences
between the May 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final estimate during the past 10
years have averaged 84 million bushels, ranging from 3 million to 237 million bushels, The May
1 forecast was below the final estimate in 6 years and above in 4 years.

ORANGES: The Nation's orange crop is forecast at 268 million boxes (10.5 million metric tons), 1 .

percent more than the April 1 forecast and 27 percent above last season. Florida's
crop is placed at 203 million boxes, the same as last month but 24 percent above the 1978-79
season. Early and mid-season varieties have been harvested and totaled 118 million boxes, 30
percent more than was harvested last season. The Valencia crop at 85.0 million boxes is 16
percent more than last season. Harvest of the Valencia crop was 40 percent complete by May 1.
Groves are in good condition and irrigation was active the last week of the month.

The California orange crop is estimated at 57.0 million boxes, 4 percent more than the
April 1 forecast and 53 percent above the 1978-79 crop. Harvest of the 30.0 million box navel
crop is about complete. The eating quality is very good, but shipping quality poor. The
Valencia crop forecast was increased 2.0 million boxes to 27.0 million. Harvest is two-thirds
complete in the desert area, but is just beginning in other districts. Quality appears good and
sizes are above normal.

Texas production is placed at 4.05 million boxes, 37 percent less than last season's
harvest. Harvest is complete. The bloom was heavy, indicating a good fruit set for next
season's crop.

Arizona production is forecast at 3.45 million boxes, unchanged from April 1 but 19 percent
above the 1978-79 crop. Harvest was about 70 percent complete by May 1, compared with 78
percent May 1, 1979.

Changes in the U.S. orange production forecast between May 1 and the final production
estimate have averaged 3.82 million boxes over the last ten seasons, ranging from 1.17 million
boxes in 1969-70 to 11.6 million boxes in 1976-77.

FLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The all orange juice yield for the 1979-80 crop is pro-

jected at 1.32 gallons of 45 degree brix concentrate
per box. The yield from the 1978-79 crop was 1.34 gallons per box.

Yield per harvested acre is forecast at 34.3 bushels per acre, down from last year's record
high of 36.9 bushels. Two years ago the average yield was 32.0 bushels per acre.

Producers expect to harvest 49.9 million acres (20.2 million hectares) for grain, 14 percent
more than last year and 28 percent more than two years ago. Indicated acres for harvest are
87.7 percent of the planted acres; last year, farmers harvested 83.9 percent of the planted
acres. A relatively mild winter resulted in less winterkill than in 1979.

Winter wheat was greening during early March as far north as Kansas. The only snowcover on
the crop at that time was in Montana and North Dakota. Corn Belt wheat was still being held in
dormancy at mid-March by below normal temperatures. farly stands in the Southwest were heading
and in the joint stages in other Southern areas, By early April, the crop was breaking dormancy
as far north as Montana. Snow slowed development of the crop in Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado.
Oklahoma wheat development continued to lag compared with last year and average. The U.S. crop
rated fair to good in late April and early May except in central and south central Kansas where
the crop was poor to fair and in the Northern Plains where conditions deteriorated due to lack
of moisture. Texas dryland wheat responded to recent moisture and fields were maturing rapidly.

RELIABILITY OF MAY 1 WINTER WHEAT PRODUCTION FORECASTS

The winter wheat production forecast in this report is based primarily on surveys conducted
just prior to May 1. Acreage for harvest is the planted acreage published in December 1979
adjusted for abandonment on the basis of information provided by producers about May 1, 1980.
The yield forecast is based on data from farmers' mail reports and counts and measurements in
wheat fields, These surveys to obtain acreage and yield information are subject to sampling and
non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. The production forecast is also
subject to change due to growing conditions after May 1 that directly affect final production
but cannot be measured currently.

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1980


Smaller crops are expected in seven of the nine Southern States. A larger crop is forecast
for Arkansas and Alabama expects to equal last year's production. South Carolina prospects at
285 million pounds are 19 percent less than the 1979 harvest because of low temperatures and wet
conditions during the bud and bloom stage. The Georgia crop is in fair to mostly good condition
and is forecast at 110 million pounds, 19 percent less than last year's crop. The Texas crop is
forecast at 12.0 million pounds, only one-third the size of the crop last year. Mild
temperatures in February promoted bud swelling and some blooms. Two hard freezes in March along
with severe hail storms across the major peach areas of Texas drastically reduced the crop.

ALMONDS: The 1980 California almond crop (shelled basis) is expected to total 300 million pounds

(136 thousand metric tons), 20 percent less than last season's record high production.
The decline is attributed to rain during bloom. The set is about 50 percent in the Chico area
and about 70-80 percent in the northern San Joaquin Valley. The Kern County area bloom set is
somewhat affected, but large nut size may offset the lighter set.

POTATOES: The U.S. spring potato crop is forecast at 16.9 million ewt (768 thousand metric

tons), a percent improvement from last month but 21 percent below the 1979 season
and still a record low, An estimated 72.8 thousand acres (29.5 thousand hectares) will be
harvested, up fractionally from the April 1 expectations but well below last season, Yields are
expected to average 233 cwt per acre compared with 231 cwt per acre forecast a month ago and 255
ewt in 1979,

California production, forecast at 8.78 million cwt, is 1 percent higher than April 1 but
off 21 percent from last season. Digging started about mid-April with good yields and excellent
quality. The Florida Hastings area forecast declined to 3.06 million cwt, down 3 percent from a
month ago and 28 percent below the 1979 output. The crop, damaged by freeze earlier, suffered
another setback with heavy hail damage over a large area of Flagler County. Salvage operations
are underway on the affected acreage with heavy yield reductions expected. Active harvest in
other parts of the Hastings area is scheduled for mid-May. In the southern and central areas,
harvest is nearing completion with variable yields but good quality. The Panhandle crop is mak-
ing good progress toward an early June harvest date.

Crop prospects in North Carolina improved during April and production is now forecast at 2.02
million cwt, still well below last season. Fields are in good condition and making good growth
despite late planting and rains in late April. Digging in south Texas is expected soon following
slow growth because of cool temperatures and some wind damage. In the Knox-Haskell area, the
crop is in good condition. Although emergence was slow, favorable weather has promoted rapid
growth. The Alabama crop declined sharply during April as wet fields continued to cause disease
problems and delayed development. Arizona harvest is expected to get underway near mid-May,

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: The May 1 pasture and range feed condition for the 48 contiguous States

was 80 percent, 4 points below a year ago, but equal to the 1969-78
average for the date. Conditions were less favorable than a year ago in 28 States, better in 16
and equal to last year in 4 States. Compared with last month, conditions generally improved in
all States except Iowa, Idaho, Montana, North and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Nevada, and Arizona.
Ory weather slowed growth of grasses in these areas. Severe drought conditions covered most of
North Dakota and extended into Montana. North Dakota pastures were rated at 48 percent, 27
points less than a year ago and 23 points below average. Montana pastures at 68 percent, were
17 points below last year and 11 points less than average. West Texas and some adjacent areas
ranged from very poor to extreme drought. Conditions throughout most other parts of the Nation
except the Southwest rated good to excellent.

HAY STOCKS ON FARMS: May 1 stocks of hay on farms were a record high 32.9 million tons (29.9

million metric tons), 10 percent more than last year and 37 percent above
1978. A high May 1, 1979 carryover combined with record 1979 production resulted in record high
stocks on both January 1 and May 1 of this year.

TOBACCO 1979 REVISEO: Production of all tobacco in 1979 is estimated at 1.53 billion pounds

(694 thousand metric tons), 24 percent less than the 1978 crop of 2.02
billion pounds (918 thousand metric tons). The crop was harvested from 826 thousand acres (334
thousand hectares), 13 percent less than in 1978. Yields averaged 1853 pounds per acre,
compared with 2135 pounds per acre in 1978.

CROP PRODUCTION, MAY 1980 nu CROP REPORTING BOARD, ESCS, USDA


CITRUS HARVEST AND UTILIZATION: By May 1, a total of 184 million boxes of oranges had been har-

vested in the U.S., 69 percent of the.expected orange crop. By
May 1 last year, 72 percent of the orange crop had been harvested. Processors used 83 percent
of the oranges harvested prior to May 1 this year, the same as a year earlier. ‘

Grapefruit harvest was 86 percent complete by May 1, 1980. Last season's crop was 89
percent harvested by May 1. Of this year's crop harvested to date, processors have used 63
percent compared with 60 percent for the same period a year earlier.

Lemon harvest was 78 percent complete on May 1 compared with 90 percent to the same cate
last year. Processors have used 50 percent of the crop harvested before May 1 compared with 41
percent for the same period last year.

GRAPEFRUIT: U.S. grapefruit production is placed at 71.3 million boxes (2.64 million metric

tons), 3 percent more than last month's forecast and 6 percent above the 1978-79
season. The Florida crop is now placed at 53.0 million boxes, 4 percent more than was forecast
on April 1 and 6 percent more than was harvested in 1978-79. By May 1, about 95 percent of the
crop had been harvested compared with 93 percent for the same period last season. Most of the
Temaining fruit is in the Indian River district. Groves are in excellent condition. Rainfall
was above normal the first three weeks of April; however, during the last week of the month
there was considerable irrigation on both coasts and the high sand hills, The Texas crop at
7.90 million boxes is unchanged from the April 1 forecast but is 12 percent below last season.
Harvest is complete. The bloom was heavy and was complete by early April. The weather in the
Rio Grande Valley has been mild and dry. Irrigation continued to provide needed moisture.
California prospects are unchanged from April 1 at 7.40 million boxes but are 28 percent above
last season. The Arizona crop at 3.00 million boxes is 3 percent more than the April 1 forecast
and 33 percent above last season. Harvest was about 60 percent complete by May 1.

Changes in U.S. grapefruit production between the May 1 forecast and final production have
averaged 1.02 million boxes over the past 10 seasons, ranging from 110 thousand boxes in 1969-70
to 2.10 million boxes in 1976-77.

LEMONS: The Arizona and California lemon crop is forecast at 21.6 million boxes (743 thousand
metric tons), unchanged from the April 1 forecast but 11 percent more than the 1978-79
crop. The Arizona crop of 3.05 million boxes is 45 percent smaller than last season. Harvest
is complete. The California crop at 18.5 million boxes is 33 percent above last season. The
central California district harvest is virtually complete. Lemons in the coastal areas are
about two-thirds picked; quality is very good. The desert area harvest was complete earlier.
Overall, California harvest is 75 percent complete.

TEMPLES: Florida's temple crop is placed at 6.00 million boxes (245 thousand metric tons), un-
changed from April 1 but 28 percent above last season's production. Harvest is

complete.

PAPAYAS: The Hawaii fresh papaya production estimate for April is 2.90 million pounds (1320

metric tons), up 41 percent from March and 20 percent above the same period a year ago.
Production is expected to peak in May with 3.25 million pounds (1470 metric tons). A 5 percent
decrease in fresh production is forecast for June, followed by a 13 percent drop to 2.70 million
pounds (1220 metric tons) in July. It is anticipated that fresh production will increase to
2.80 million pounds (1270 metric tons).

Area in crop is estimated at 2960 acres (1200 hectares) in April, slightly more than the pre-
vious month but 8 percent below last April. Area harvested in April, at 2005 acres (810
hectares), was 4 percent higher than March.

Cumulative fresh production totals show that while output this year is still running below
last year, the gap is beginning to close.

PEACHES: The first forecast of peach production in the nine Southern States for 1980 is placed

at 521 million pounds (236 thousand metric tons), 19 percent less than last year's
production and 12 percent below the 1978 crop. The peach crop in these States is sold predomi-
nantly for fresh market and normally accounts for well over one-third of the U.S. fresh peach
utilization.

APRIL WEATHER SUMMARY

Unseasonable snow fell in Kansas, Arkansas, and Missouri early in April. A series of storms
moving out of the central Rockies brought severe weather and deluges of rain to most of
southeastern United States. The rain spread northward along the East Coast and into New
England. Record breaking high temperatures occurred in the northern Plains after midmonth.
Near the end of April a low pressure system stagnated in the Northeast and the month ended with
rainy weather and occasional thunderstorms in that area.

On the first day of April, a series of storm systems was forming in the southern Plateau and
Rockies. The disturbed weather continued in these areas during the first ten days of the
month. Snow fell in most of the western mountains during this period, but eastern Colorado
received the largest amounts. Some of the storms moved into Kansas and Nebraska with over six
inches on the ground in eastern Colorado, western Kansas, and southwest Nebraska. The storms
carried rain to the western Great Lakes area and then eastward to the mid-Atlantic States and
into New England. Some storms moved southeastward from the central Plains and brought more
heavy rain to the Gulf Coast area. The heaviest rain was confined to the immediate coastal
region and Florida. Conditions were cold in the Rockies and Plateau but very warm for this time
af year in the northern Plains.

The respite from heavy rain was short lived in the South. On April 10, another storm had
moved out of the Rockies and was winding up in Oklahoma. The storm center moved rapidly
northeastward. A cold front extended southwest from the center into the Gulf of Mexico. From
eastern Texas through Michigan and eastward to the Atlantic, thunderstorms, hail, and tornadoes
were reported. Flooding was prevalent in the lower Mississippi Valley. As the storm moved
northeastward, it left a mantle of snow in portions of Arkansas and Missouri. This unusual
spring weather was repeated on April 14th when another storm formed in the Gulf and moved
northward through the Great Lakes. The second storm caused additional heavy rain and severe
weather from the lower Mississippi Valley through the Great Lakes and eastward to the Atlantic.
By April 17th, rain was light in most of the Nation, but another low pressure system in the Gulf
moved eastward and spread light to moderate showers along the coast and through Florida. Some
severe weather occurred in Florida on April 20th.

The last ten days of April began with unseasonably warm air moving northward through the
Plains and then southeastward. Many record high temperatures--for so early in the Spring--were
set, first in the central Plains and then in Montana. Temperatures reached 100° in North Dakota
on April 22nd, and in Iowa on the 23d. The high 80's were recorded throughout the Midwest on
the 23d and the 90's in the Carolinas the next day. The wedge of warm air was followed by cold
air and some snow in the Great Lakes area, Temperatures dropped into the 20's in the Lakes
region and the 30's in the Midwest. As the month of April ended, a ridge of high pressure
became nearly stationary from the western mountains into Canada, This caused a low pressure
system to move very slowly from the lower Mississippi Valley northeastward. Rain and severe
weather spread from the central Plains through the South and then to New England. The rainy
weather slowly cleared in the South, but as April ended intermittent rain and occasional
thunderstorms continued from the mid-Atlantic States into New England. (Prepared by NOAA/USDA
