CORN CROPPING PRACTICES
PLANT POPULATION PER ACRE AND ROW WIDTH

The Statistical Reporting Service 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 10 States which account for approximately 83 percent of the 1982
corn production. Information in the following tables represents sample data
and averages from these counts. The data, which are subject to sampling
fluctuations, are not official Crop Reporting Board estimates but do show
trends in corn cropping practices over a period of years.

In 1982, the plant population showed an increase from 1981 in all 10
States. Average row widths tended to decrease in 1982 with 7 States showing
decreases, two States showing increases and one State remaining the same as
last year.

RELIABILITY OF NOVEMBER 1 PRODUCTION FORECASTS

Crop production forecasts in this report are based primarily on yield surveys taken about
November 1. The yield surveys included mailed reports from farmers for al} 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 small 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 production 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 1962-81 twenty year period; the square root of this average
becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error". Probability statements can be made
concerning expected differences 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.

For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the November 1 corn for grain production
forecast is 2.6 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production
forecast of 8330 million bushels will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 2.6
percent or approximately 217 million bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence
level) that the difference will not exceed 4.5 percent or approximately 375 million bushels.

Also shown in the table is a 10-year 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 past 10 years have averaged 169
million bushels, ranging from 7 million to 378 million bushels. The November 1] forecast has
been below the final estimate 9 times and above 1 time. This does not imply that the November 1
corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production. For most crops,
the number of years the forecasts have been below or above the final estimates is about equally
distributed.

Texas and Oklahoma growers expect to harvest 2.76 million bales of Upland, 55 percent below
last year, 4 percent more than forecast Jast month. Texas High Plains crop made good progress
under favorable October weather. Increased yield potential slowed abandonment. Acreage for
harvest now estimated at 3.90 million acres jn Texas. By November 1, harvest about one-fourth
complete in Texas, just getting underway in Oklahoma.

The far west crop, forecast at 4.38 million bales, is down 16 percent from 1981 but 1
percent above last month. Harvest about 50 percent finished in California, about one-third
complete in Arizona by November 1. Good yields reported in the San Joaquin Valley but late
season build up of insects reduced yield prospects in Yuma area.

Bureau of the Census reports 5,290,300 running bales ginned prior to November 1 compared
with 5,540,672 bales ginned to the same date last year and 4,599,488 bales ginned in 1980,

COTTONSEED: Production for 1982, based on a three year average lint-seed ratio, forecast at
4.75 million tons (4.31 million metric tons), 26 percent below 1981.

ORY BEANS: Production forecast at 25.2 million hundredweight (1.14 million metric tons), down

21 percent from year ago, 2 percent below October 1. Wet conditions plagued harvest
operations in many areas through October. Average yield forecast at 1391 pounds, down 3 pounds
from last month, 54 pounds below last year. Area harvested totaled 1.81 million acres (733
thousand hectares), 1 percent below Jast month, 18 percent below Jast year. Abandoned acreage
in North Dakota and Minnesota accounted for reduction from last month. Harvest almost complete
in major production areas, by November 1.

ALL TOBACCO: Forecast at 1.94 billion pounds (879 thousand metric tons) down 6 percent from
1981, but up fractionally from last month. Eight of sixteen tobacco States show
increased yield from October 1. Average yield 2157 pounds, up 43 pounds from 198).

Kentucky's production forecast at 562 million pounds, up 10 percent from 1981, 1 percent
below October 1. Average yield per acre of 2375, 203 pounds above 1981. Most burley crop
cured, very active stripping expected when Crop comes into order.

North Carotina's forecast 686 million pounds, down 14 percent from last year but 1 percent
above October 1. Average yield--2125 pounds--5 pounds below previous year. All flue-cured
markets Closed for season.

Tennessee's forecast, 172 million pounds, 6 percent above last year and unchanged from
October 1. Average yield--2100 pounds--up 47 pounds from 1981. Dark tobacco being prepared for
mid-November market opening.

SUGARBEETS: U.S. crop forecast at 21.7 million tons (19.7 million metric tons), 2 percent avove

October 1. Higher yields expected Minnesota, Nebraska, Colorado. Production 21
percent below last year resulting from 15 percent decline in acreage for harvest and 1.5 tons
lower yield.

California harvest nearly complete, some activity Central and North. Late planting limited
yield and sugar content.

Early October rain slowed harvest Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, but harvest 90 percent
or more complete November 1.

In Wyoming, 15 percent remained for harvest. Some beets frozen.

SUGARCANE: Production for sugar and seed forecast at record high 29.0 million tons (26.3 million
metric tons), 6 percent above 1981.

Cutting for sugar in Florida began in October--expected to increase rapidly into winter
months, the main harvesting period. Crop condition good to excellent. Record production
predicted.

Heavy month-end rains in Hawaii--especially Kauai and Oahu--continued to hamper field

operations. Most mills expected to grind later than norma? due to stow start. Only one mill
shut down for annual repairs.

OCTOBER WEATHER SUMMARY

Precipitation well above normal through northern Plains from eastern two-thirds of Montana
to western Great Lakes and from Nebraska and Iowa northward. Snow fell through area on several
occasions, but warm daytime temperatures melted accumulations. Pacific storms spread heavy rain
over Northwest; snow frequent at high elevations. Heavy rain along east coast from South
Carolina ta southern New England, but for month many eastern areas moisture much Tess than
normal. Less than half expected precipitation in parts of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York.

FIRST WEEK...Weak cold front triggered showers through central and northern Plains first 2
days of the month. Front dissipated east of Mississippi River. Warm days, cool nights returned
to central Plains and western Corn Belt. Precipitation heavy first week over northern Plains,
lower Mississippi Valley, southern Florida, and parts of New England. Few showers eastern
portion of winter wheat area of central Plains. Freezing temperatures Tate in week in northern
Plains and over High Plains southward to western Nebraska. Heavy snow over northern Rockies
spread over northern High Plains.

SECOND WEEK...Cold front out of Rockies brought freezing temperatures to High Plains as far
south as northern Texas Panhandle and into central Nebraska. At midweek, early-morning freeze
pushed through Minnesota into northern fowa. Light, cold rain accompanied front; snow fell
across northern border from North Dakota to Michigan. Cold front slowed in East. Low-pressure
center formed in Gulf of Mexico. Rain spread through southern Plains, over South and Southeast,
up east coast. Showers, thunderstorms heavy from southeastern Texas to eastern slopes of
southern Appatachtans.

THIRO WEEK...Cold air stil? covered Eastern States when another cold outbreak pushed into
northern Rockies and Plains. By end of week, freezing temperatures covered northern two-thirds
of Nation. Growing season for most fall-harvested crops ended in area. Snow fell from
northeastern Nebraska to northern Michigan. Heavy, wet snow accumulation hurt some crops, but
melted rapidly as daytime temperatures warmed. At end of week, low-pressure system along the
southeast coast began pounding coastal area with wind and rain.

FOURTH WEEK...Low-pressure system moved northward along east coast before moving out into
Atlantic off New Jersey coast. Storm triggered strong winds, heavy rain, and high tides from
South Carolina to southern New England. Moderate rain reached to eastern slopes of
Appalachians. As storm moved eastward, cold air plunged southward. Record cold temperatures
covered Southeast. Another intense storm off west coast spread rain through most of California,
then across Plateau and Rockies. Snow throughout mountainous areas. Moderate showers developed
eastern Texas to central Iowa late in week.

WINTER WHEAT SEEDING

Seeding of 1983 winter wheat crop 89 percent complete end of October--equal to last year but
1 point behind average. Planting finished in Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota--near
completion in all other States except California, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. Plants emerged
on 72 percent of acreage, 78 percent a year ago. Soil moisture adequate except in parts of
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.

In Kansas, good field conditions during October permitted seeding to progress ahead of
schedule. Planting 99 percent finished. Stands good to excellent except in few southern
counties where soil moisture short and emergence spotty. Soil moisture adequate in northern
third of State; good general rain needed all areas. Lack of rain during October hindered
seeding in Oklahoma--80 percent completed--10 points slower than average. Emergence 45 percent,
average 65 percent. Late October rain in some areas substantially improved condition. Short
moisture supplies hampered seeding in Texas--77 percent complete--up 6 points behind average.
Some replanting necessary in the Low Plains. Forty-six percent of acreage emerged, lagging
average of 66 percent. Montana seeding finished, 85 percent emerged. Soil moisture adequate,
stands good. Seeding near completion in Pacific Northwest. Some replanting due to crusting and
cheatgrass infestations. Land preparation for small grain planting active in California.
Seeding 25 percent complete, ahead of 18 percent average. In Corn Belt, seeding ahead of
normal, and nearly finished by end of October. Condition in eastern areas of Belt slipped
somewhat late in month as soils became progressively drier.

CROP PRODUCTION, NOVEMBER 1982 B-1 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Condition in Louisiana good. Harvest 32 percent complete, 28 percent in 1981, average 21
percent. Sucrose content reported high most parishes.

Condition of Texas sugarcane good--production outlook remains favorable. Harvest underway,
12 percent harvested by November 1.

PASTURE AND RANGE: Feed condition averaged 80 percent--equal to last year, but 5 points above
\O-year average. Conditions declined seasonally in 27 States, unchanged in
3, improved in 18.

Scattered showers promoted grass growth in Texas, but low temperatures limited growth in
north and central areas. High Plains wheat pastures providing limited grazing. Supplemental
feeding required most areas. Dry weather limited fall growth in Oklahoma and southern Kansas.
Early wheat seedings provided limited grazing. Rocky Mountain area received favorable moisture
for good to excellent feed. Late October rains favorable for southern California and Arizona
after earlier declining conditions. Scattered rainfall across eastern half of Nation produced
conditions ranging from poor to excellent. Portions of Georgia, New Jersey, Ohio and
Pennsylvania showed very poor pasture feed.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production in November, forecast at 4.30 million pounds (1950

metric tons), up 12 percent from October--down 10 percent from year ago. Fluctuating
production anticipated coming months. Yields early 1983 anticipated higher than weather damaged
1982 crop.

Fresh production in October estimated at 3.83 million pounds (1740 metric tons), up 4
percent from September but 22 percent below year ago. Favorable weather prevailed October,
except heavy rains the last week.

PRUNES: California prune crop (dried basis) forecast at 125 thousand tons (113 thousand metric

tons)--down 4 percent from September 1 and 21 percent less than 198] crop. Inclement
weather at pollination, cool weather during development and reduced acreage caused decline.
Harvest complete by mid-September.

FILBERTS: Production for Oregon and Washington placed 17.5 thousand tons (15.9 thousand metric
tons)--up 3 percent from October 1 and 19 percent above 1981 crop. October weather
excellent. Harvest nearly complete November 1.

GRAPEFRUIT: The 1982-83 grapefruit crop, excluding California "Other areas" placed at 64.0

million boxes (2.38 million metric tons), unchanged from October 1, but 6 percent
less than last season. Sizing of Texas grapefruit crop affected by dry weather, but quality
good. Picking continues slow in all western States. The first forecast for the California
“Other areas” crop will be made as of April 1, 1983.

LEMONS: Arizona-California forecast (tree crop available for harvest) 31.0 million boxes (1.07

million metric tons), 9 percent above October 1 and 25 percent above 1981-82. Fruit
set higher than last season, but below the record high 1980-81 crop. Fruit sizes smaller than
previous two seasons. Harvest not yet underway in San Joaquin Valley. Limited picking in
progress California's south coastal areas but fruit generally small and heavily scarred. In
desert areas packing new crop fruit started mid-October, despite poor market conditions. Fruit
condition good with sizes peaking either 140's or 165's.

TANGERINES: The 1982-83 crop expected to total 5.90 million boxes (230 thousand metric tons),

unchanged from October 1 but 18 percent more than last season due to good developing
weather.

CROP PRODUCTION, NOVEMBER 1982 A-11 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


CORN FOR GRAIN forecast at record nigh 8.33 billion busheTs (212 million metric tons)--up 2

Percent from 1981. Record high yield of 124.4 bushels expected up 4.5 bushels
from last year. Record high yields expected in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Virginia.

Corn harvest 55 percent complete by November 1--last year 58, average 67 percent. Harvest
generally slower than average in all areas, except Southeast and eastern Corn Belt. Colorado,
Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin lagged normal progress by 20 or more
percentage points. Wet weather delaying harvest northern and western Corn Belt.

SORGHUM FOR GRAIN: Production forecast at 826 million bushels (21.0 million metric tons}, down

6 percent from a year earlier. Average yield 59.8 bushels, down 4.3 bushels
from 1981's record high. Nebraska and Texas yields down 1 and 6 bushels, respectively, from
1981's record highs. Kansas yield off 5 bushels.

Sorghum 97 percent mature November 1, last year 95, average 98 percent. Killing frost which
moved southward into Oklahoma sped drying of the crop. Grain harvest 59 percent complete
November 1, last year 60, average 80 percent. Late month snow, rain and wet fields delayed
combining. Harvest lagged average in all States except Colorado--46 points behind in South
Qakota, 45 points in Nebraska, 30 points in Kansas.

RICE: U.S, 1982 rice crop forecast at 153 million hundredweight (6.93 milvion metric tons),

second largest of record but 18 percent below last year's record high. Yield expected to
average 4650 pounds, down 223 pounds from last year's record high of 4873 pounds. Yields are
below 1981 in Arkansas, California and Mississippi -- higher in Louisiana, Missouri and Texas.
Harvest nearly complete in all States.

PEANUTS: Production forecast 3.43 billion pounds (1.56 million metric tons) fractionally above

last month but 14 percent below 7987. Harvested area, at 1.27 million acres (514
thousand hectares), 15 percent below last year. All States except New Mexico show acreage
declines. Yield af 2700 pounds per acre a new record high.

Southeast production, 2.23 billion pounds, 10 percent below 1981. Harvested acres, at 716
thousand, off 18 percent. Yield--3121 pounds--257 pounds above last year. A record high yield
of 3000 pounds projected in Alabama--50 pounds above October 1--best since 1979's 2785 pounds.

SOYBEANS: VARIETIES GROWN AND ROW SPACING-~-1982

The Statistical Reporting Service conducted soybean objective yield surveys in 15 States
which accounted for about 88 percent of the 1982 U.S. soybean production. Plots were randomly
selected from a scientifically 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 Reporting Board but are intended to show trends in soybean
production practices.

Williams, the leading soybean variety for the seventh consecutive year, accounted for 14.8
percent of the acreage in the 15 States surveyed. This was up from the 14.6 percent in 1981.
Bragg, at 6.0 percent of the acreage, was in second place and Forrest, at 5.4 percent, was in
third place.

Average row space measurements in 1982, in the 10 States for which data were available,
decreased in al? but 3 States. The Ohio average row spacing continued narrower than other North
Central States because of the higher percentage of the acreage which is drill planted.
