Rice was in mostly good to fair condition during June. By the end of
June, heading had begun in Louisiana and Texas.

Winter wheat condition was mostly good to fair during June. As the month
began, harvest was underway in 6 of the 19 major producing States. Harvest
progressed rapidly in the central and southern Great Plains during the
month. Rain slowed harvest in portions of the Corn Belt. By the end of
June, harvest was 50 percent complete, 6 points behind normal, in the major
producing States. Harvest was nearly complete in Oklahoma and over half
finished in Kansas. In Texas, harvest was nearly complete except in the
Plains area. Harvest was beginning in Nebraska and lagged behind normal in
Illinois and Missouri. Spring wheat was in mostly good condition at the end
of June. Fifty-eight percent of the acreage was headed, 3 points ahead of
normal.

OATS: Total 1990 oat production is forecast at 375 million bushels,
virtually the same as the 374 million bushels harvested last season.
The expected yield per acre is forecast at 60.1 bushels compared with last
season's average of 54.4 bushels. Area harvested and to be harvested at
6.24 million acres, is down 9 percent from last year's 6.87 million acres.

Yields in South Dakota and Minnesota are expected to be up sharply from
last year. Prospective yields in Wisconsin and Iowa are down slightly from
last year.

The oat crop in South Dakota is 90 percent headed, slightly ahead of
normal. Cool and wet weather has provided excellent conditions for the
Minnesota crop. The North Dakota crop is developing ahead of last year but
slower than the average.

BARLEY: Production is forecast at 414 million bushels as of July 1, 1990.

This is 3 percent above the 1989 production of 403 million bushels.
Yields are expected to average 53.5 bushels per acre, 4.9 bushels more than
last year. Area harvested and to be harvested, at 7.75 million acres, is
down 7 percent from last year's 8.30 million acres.

Yields are expected to be up sharply in North Dakota, Idaho, and
Minnesota, but down in Montana.

Crop progress in North Dakota is behind normal, but ahead of last year.
Hot and dry conditions the last two weeks of June stressed Montana's crop.

ALL WHEAT: Total wheat production for 1990 is forecast at 2.70 billion
bushels, up 33 percent from 1989.

This would be the largest crop since 1982 and the third largest on
record. All wheat yields are expected to average 38.6 bushels per acre, up
5.8 bushels from last year. Area for grain is 70.0 million acres, up 13

percent from 1989.

APPLES: The Nation's apple crop forecast, at 9.84 billion pounds, is down
1 percent from last year's crop, but 8 percent more than the 1988
crop.

The forecast for the Eastern States, at 2.48 billion pounds, is up 4
Percent from last year. The forecast is for less production than last year
in Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina while production is expected to
be generally higher from Pennsylvania through New England. A late freeze,
in the mid-Atlantic States, was the cause for the reduced production
prospects. New York's crop is variable. Western New York suffered from
poor pollination. Fruit set in eastern New York area had a heavy set. The
wet spring increased disease pressure for fire blight and scab in the New
Jersey crop.

The Central States forecast, at 1.26 billion pounds, is down 13 percent
from 1989. Poor pollination weather in Michigan reduced the red delicious
crop which is their major variety. An unusually heavy drop further reduced
the crop. Winterkill and spring freezes reduced the crop in most of the
Ohio Valley.

Production in the Western States is forecast at 6.10 million pounds, 1
percent less than last year's crop. Washington had a mild winter with no
winter damage. The weather was excellent during bloom which aided good
pollination. Many orchards are beirig hand thinned. The California and
Oregon crops are in good condition. Freezes reduced Utah's crop but
Arizona's crop was spared this year.

PEACHES: U.S. peach production is forecast at 2.12 billion pounds, down

fractionally from the June 1 forecast and down 9 percent from
1989, The Freestone crop, which excludes California Clingstone peaches that
are mostly canned, is expected to total 1.12 billion pounds, down 1 percent
from June 1 and 17 percent less than last year.

Production in South Carolina is forecast at 90.0 million pounds, 10
percent less than the June 1 forecast and 67 percent less than the 1989
crop. The effects of earlier freeze damage became more apparent during the
month. Fruit that was thought to be sound in early June is now showing
damage. Isolated hail storms and extremely hot dry weather also reduced
prospects. The Georgia crop, at 130 million pounds, is unchanged from last
month's forecast but 4 percent more than a year ago. Harvest continues to
be about 2 weeks ahead of normal.

PEARS: Total U.S. pear production is placed at 938 thousand tons, 2 percent
above last year and 9 percent more than in 1988.

BARTLETT production in California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at
545 thousand tons, 4 percent above last year. Harvest is now getting
underway in the Sacramento Valley of California. Crop quality is good, with
high sugar content. The Oregon crop is in good condition. In Washington,
pears are well shaped but due to cool spring weather, sizes are smaller than
usual.

Production of pears, OTHER THAN BARTLETT'S, in the Pacific Coast States
is set at 363 thousand tons, 2 percent higher than last year and 14 percent.
greater than in 1988. The California crop is in good condition with harvest
expected to start in early August. The Oregon crop is slightly earlier than
usual and is in good condition in the major production districts of Hood
River and Medford.

JUNE WEATHER SUMMARY

Storm systems brought severe weather and abundant moisture to much of the
northern Plains and Mississippi and Ohio Valleys throughout the month.
Intense thunderstorms spawned numerous tornadoes and caused locally
torrential rains across the Corn Belt. Hot, dry conditions, however,
prevailed over much of the Southeast, middle Atlantic coast, central and
southern Plains, and parts of the West. Pueblo, OO had their driest June
of record with a trace of rain and Greenville, SC their driest with 0.9
inch. Macon, GA experienced their fourth driest June. Record-high
temperatures were recorded in Tucson and Phoenix, AZ, Pueblo, ©, and
Lubbock, TX. Temperatures averaged above normal over most of the Nation as
the Southwest and southern Great Plains sweltered with temperatures
averaging more than 6 degrees Fahrenheit (F) above normal.

JUNE CROP PROGRESS

Early in June, rain and wet field conditions slowed row crop plantings
in portions of the Corn Belt and Delta. Rain continued to slow planting in
the Corn Belt throughout the month. During June, favorable weather allowed
winter wheat harvest to progress rapidly in the central and southern Great
Plains. By the end of June, soil moisture was adequate to surplus in the
Corn Belt, adequate to short in the Great Plains, short to adequate in the
Delta and most of the West, and short to very short in the Southeast.

At the beginning of June, corn planting lagged behind normal in Illinois,
Indiana, Kentucky, and Missouri. By mid-June, planting was complete or
nearly complete, except in Kentucky and Missouri. Hot, dry weather stressed
corn in Georgia and portions of Texas. At the end of June, corn condition
was good to fair with 3 percent of the acreage in the silking stage or
beyond, 3 points behind the 5-year average. Lack of moisture stressed the
crop in the Southeast.

Early in June, soybean planting lagged behind normal in Illinois,
Indiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Missouri. Planting progressed
slowly in the Corn Belt during the month. By the end of June, planting was
95 percent complete, 1 point behind normal in the 19 major producing States.
Planting still lagged behind normal in Missouri. Crop condition was good
to fair. Lack of moisture stressed soybeans in the Southeast.

By June 10, cotton planting was complete or nearly complete, except in
Oklahoma and Texas. Crop condition was good to fair. Near the end of June,
lack of moisture stressed cotton in portions of Texas. Dry soil conditions
forced same fields to shed bolls in the Coastal Bend area and Rio Grande
Valley of Texas. By the end of June, cotton condition was still good to
fair in the 14 major producing States.

Early in June, sorghum planting lagged behind normal in Illinois and
Missouri and continued to progress slowly during the month. By the end of
dune, planting was complete or nearly complete except in Illinois and
Missouri. Crop condition was good in Kansas, good to fair in Nebraska, and
fair to good in Texas. Harvest was underway in the Coastal Bend area and
Rio Grande Valley of Texas.

PLORIDA FROZEN CONCENTRATED JUICE YIELD: The 1989-90 forecasted yield for

all frozen concentrated orange
juice (FOOy) for Florida is 1.23 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix
equivalent, unchanged from last month's projection. The forecast is
projected to estimate the final yield as reported by the Florida citrus
Processors Association. The 1988-89 yield for all fruit used in FOOU was
1.53 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix.

GRAPEFRUIT: The final forecast for the 1989-90 U.S. grapefruit crop is 48.5
million boxes, virtually unchanged from the June 1 forecast but
30 percent below the 1988-89 season.

LEMONS: ‘The California and Arizona crop is expected to total 19.1 million
boxes, down 2 percent from the April 1 forecast, and 4 percent
below the 1988-89 season. Harvest is nearing completion.

FLORIDA CITRUS: Most groves in Florida's citrus belt had below normal rain-
fall for June. Many growers continued irrigating during
the first part of the month, due to the irregular and often light showers
that were not providing adequate moisture in some locations. New crop fruit
continues to make very good progress with better than average sizes for the
latter part of June. There is an abundance of new foliage on trees of all
ages in all areas of the citrus belt. Valencia harvest was virtually
complete by the last of June with only limited amounts going to fresh
squeeze processors. Caretakers have been very busy controlling cover crops,
fertilizing, and spraying. Many resets have been planted during June in
Polk County and the upper interior where frozen trees have been removed.

SWEET The U.S. production for 1990 at 122 thousand tons, is down
37 percent from 1989 and is one-third less than in 1988.
In comparison to the June 1 forecast, crop prospects have dropped 20

percent.

Production is off sharply in Oregon where fruit set turned out much
lighter than expected earlier in the season. In Washington, strong winds
and heavy rain at Yakima caused extensive wind whip and splitting of fruit.
However, at Wenatchee the weather conditions were more favorable and a good
quality crop is expected.

TART CHERRIES: The U.S. forecast at 225 million pounds is 18 percent below

the 1989 crop and 5 percent below 1988. The crop outlook
since the June forecast is virtually unchanged in all States except for a
minor increase in Oregon.

ALL POTATOES: Total U.S. planted potato acreage is set at 1.38 million
acres, up 6 percent fram last year and 7 percent above two
years ago. Acreage for harvest is forecast at 1.36 million acres, up 6
percent from 1989 and 8 percent above 1988. By season, planted acreage is
up 3 percent each for winter and spring potatoes, up 7 percent for summer,
and up 6 percent for fall.

FALL POTATOES: Area planted to fall potatoes is estimated at 1.17 million

acres, up 6 percent from last year and 6 percent above two
years ago. Harvest is expected from 1.15 million acres, a gain of 6 percent
from last year and 7 percent above 1988.

JULY 1990 A-9 NASS, USDA


WINTER WHEAT: Production is forecast at 2.04 billion bushels, up 40 percent

from 1989, but down 3 percent from the June 1 forecast.
Yields are now expected to average 40.6 bushels per acre, up 5.5 bushels
from last year, but off 0.6 bushels from June 1. Acreage for grain is 50.1
million acres, up 21 percent from last season. :

Yields in soft red winter States are generally down from the previous
forecast, especially in Illinois and Missouri. Ohio's yield did not change.
Harvest progress trails average in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Ohio.

Yield prospects improved from June 1 levels in Idaho. Oregon, Washington, *
and Michigan yields are unchanged.

Harvest was 65 percent complete in Kansas as of July 1. Test weights
have been above average. The Texas harvest is complete from the Cross
Timbers southward. Hot, dry conditions aided maturation and harvest.
Harvest is more active in the Texas High Plains where yields have been good
to excellent.

DURUM WHEAT: Production for 1990 is forecast at 114 million bushels, up

24 percent from last year. Based on July 1 conditions, yields
are expected to average 32.7 bushels per acre, up 7.6 bushels per acre from
1989. Area for grain is estimated at 3.50 million acres, off 5 percent from
last season.

Arizona and California durum harvests were virtually complete by July 1.
Both State's yields are above 1989.

In the four northern dumm States, expected yields are higher than a year
ago except in Montana where dry conditions have persisted in the durum
growing area. Development of North Dakota's durum crop is ahead of 1989,
but trails average progress. AS of July 1, 27 percent of the crop was
headed and rated in generally good condition.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: The 1990 production is forecast at 549 million bushels,

up 12 percent from 1989. If realized, this would be
a record high production. Yields are forecast at 33.5 bushels per acre
based on July 1 conditions. This is 4.7 bushels per acre higher than last
season's average yield. Harvested area is 16.4 million acres, down 4
percent from a year ago.

Growers in most States are expecting higher average yields than last
season. Exceptions are Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming. Colorado's yield
prospects equal last year. ‘The ‘increases in the other States range from 5
to 9 bushels per acre above 1989,

Favorable rainfall across much of North Dakota during June improved crop
conditions. As of July 1, 80 percent of the crop rated good or better.
Moisture conditions have improved in South Dakota. This may slow
development but has brightened yield prospects. Montana's spring wheat crop
is being hurt by drought conditions in eastern counties. Yield potential is
rated average elsewhere in the State.

HIGHLIGHTS

WINTER WHEAT production is forecast as of July 1 at 2.04 billion bushels, up

40 percent from 1989. Yields are expected to average 40.6 bushels per
acre, up 5.5 bushels from last year. Harvest progress trails average in
Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Qhio. Harvest was 65 percent complete in
Kansas as of July 1.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT production is forecast at 549 million bushels, up 12 per-

cent from 1989. If realized, this would be a record high product ton.
Yields are forecast at 33.5 bushels per acre. This is 4.7 bushels per acre
higher than last season’s average yield.

BARLEY production is forecast at 414 million bushels. This is 3 percent above
the 1989 production of 403 million bushels. Yields are expected to aver-
age 53.5 bushels per acre, 4.9 bushels more than last year.

OAT production is forecast at 375 million bushels, virtually the same as the

374 million bushels harvested last season. The expected yield per acre
is forecast at 60.1 bushels compared with last season’s average of 54.4 bu-
shels. .

FLUE-CURED TOBACCO production is forecast at 856 million pounds, 6 percent

above a year ago. The larger output Primarily results from a 6 percent
acreage increase. Production is moderated slightly by an expected 11 pound
per acre lower yield.

FALL POTATO acreage is set at 1.17 million acres planted for 1990, up 6 per-
cent from last year. Harvest is expected from 1.15 million acres, up 6
percent from last year.

SUMMER POTATO production is forecast at 25.0 million cwt, up 13 percent from

last year and 24 percent above two years ago. Harvest acreage is set at
101 thousand acres, up 8 percent from last year, while the average yield at
247 cwt per acre is up 4 percent.

APPLE production is forecast at 9.84 billion pounds, 1 percent less than last

year but 8 percent more than 1988. Much of the decrease can be attrib-

uted to freezes and poor pollination weather in the mid-Atlantic and Central
ates.

PEACH production is forecast at 2.12 billion pounds, down fractionally from
June 1 and down 9 percent from 1989. The damage from spring freezes con-
tinues to become more apparent in South Carolina.

Hot weather is a problem from Texas through Colorado and Nebraska.
Farmers are actively irrigating and are hard pressed to keep up with water
delivery. Some hail damage was reported in Nebraska. Missouri harvest

well and should finish in July. Michigan potatoes have improved
after a cool May and windy June, Yields are average or better. ‘The
California summer crop has progressed well after earlier rains.

CALIFORNIA FRUIT AND NUTS: Menorial Day weekend rains damaged Some Crops as

and benefitted others. The cherry
devastated, with over half the crop destroyed. Apricots also suffered some
damage in a few areas, and more of the fruit was diverted to the processed
market. Grape bunch formation was adversely affected in the North Coast area.
The rains proved beneficial, however, by allowing growers to forego
irrigation, and the additional moisture increased the sizes of apples. The
southern part of the State suffered a heat wave the last week of June which
caused some sunburn damage in citrus and which may also negatively impact next
year's crop. The avocado crop was also stressed from the heat. Growers spent
most of June working the orchard floors, spraying for pests, and harvesting
fruit. Apples were thinned and sprayed for fire blight and codling moth. The
apricot harvest continued, with mid-July targeted for completion. The avocado
harvest was light, while the set for 1991 suggests a return to a normal crop.
A few growers attempted to salvage cherries in San Joaquin County. Grape
growers sprayed for control of pests and mildew. ‘Table grapes were sizing
rapidly and coloring well. Desert Valley table grape picking progressed. The
kiwifruit set was reported large. Stone fruit harvest advanced with
approximately 40 percent of the Freestone peaches and a third of the plums and
nectarines packed by month's end. Peaches continued to be thinned and sprayed
for pests. Pomegranates were treated for thrips, while pears were sprayed for
codling moth. South Coast lemon harvest advanced with over 80 percent packed
by month's end. Navel orange harvest was completed while the Valencia and
grapefruit harvests progressed at a steady pace. Orange and lemon groves were
treated for red scale. Almond and walnut orchards were irrigated and sprayed
for control of pests.

Planted area is at or above last year in most States, led by a 40.0 thousand
acre jump in Idaho and an 11.0 thousand acre increase in Washington.
Acreage down turns are noted in New York, Ohio, Nebraska, Nevada, and
California.

EASTERN STATES acreage is up slightly from last year, with 136 thousand
acres planted. Area for harvest is projected at 133 thousand acres, down
slightly from last year. Maine's plantings are up 1 percent and
Pennsylvania is up 10 percent from last year. New York's plantings are down
7 percent, while Massachusetts and Rhode Island remain the same as last
year. Connecticut estimates are discontinued. Most planting was done on
time this year, and July 1 conditions are good.

CENTRAL STATES growers have planted 347 thousand acres, up 2 percent
from last year. Harvested area, at 339 thousand acres, is expected to be
up 3 percent. North Dakota planted acreage is 4 percent above last year.
Michigan and Minnesota are each up 3 percent, while Wisconsin is up 1
percent. South Dakota and Indiana held at the same acreage level as last
year. Nebraska and Ohio are down 11 percent and 6 percent, respectively.
The topsoil moisture situation in North Dakota and Minnesota is favorable
so far; subsoil moisture is still short. Michigan planting held a normal
pace despite cool weather and rain. South Dakota prospects are much
improved from the past two years with normal June rainfall. Recent hot
weather in Nebraska has required heavy use of irrigation.

WESTERN STATES potato plantings totaled 684 thousand acres, up 9 percent
from last year. Harvest is expected from 680 thousand acres, up 9 percent,
from last year. Idaho planted acreage gained 11 percent over last year,
Montana increased 10 percent, and Washington gained 9 percent. Colorado
acreage is up 6 percent, Wyoming is up 5 percent, and Oregon is 4 percent
above last year. Nevada growers planted 12 percent less acreage to potatoes
this year and California trinmed their acreage 1 percent. Eastern Idaho was
hit by frost June 13th, causing some damage to early planted fields.
Current conditions, however, are favorable State-wide with adequate
irrigation water supplies. Planting in Washington began normally but rain
slowed progress in northwestern counties. Cold and wet weather has slowed
early development. Colorado potatoes are in fair to good condition. Early
fields are flowering. Cool weather slowed early growth in California's
Tulelake area following some June frost damage.

SUMMER POTATOES: Production of summer potatoes is forecast at 25.0 million

cwt, up 13 percent from last year and 24 percent above two
years ago. Harvested acreage is set at 101 thousand acres, up 8 percent
from last year and 10 percent above 1988. The average yield is projected
at 247 cwt per acre for the summer season, a gain of 4 percent from last
year and 12 percent above two years ago. Summer potato estimates were
started in Missouri this year. Without their data, production would be up
8 percent from last year and 19 percent above two years ago.

Potatoes in the Atlantic Coast States are doing well, with harvest
underway in most areas. This is earlier than usual. Yields and quality are
better than last year. Soils are drying in North Carolina and across the
South. Harvest is active in Alabama and should peak in mid-July.

The Washington crop experienced a heavy drop but a good quality crop is
expected.

Combinations of spring frosts and adverse weather during pollination have
reduced crop prospects in Colorado, Connecticut, Michigan, New York,
Pennsylvania, and Utah.

PLUMS: The California production forecast continues unchanged at 210

thousand tons, 1 percent below 1989 and 3 percent lower than in
1988. Currently more than one-third of the crop has been picked. Most
early varieties are now harvested.

DRIED PRUNES: Production prospects in California are unchanged fram last

month at 160 thousand tons. This total remains 29 percent
below last year but 6 percent above the 1988 crop. May rains now appear to
have caused only minor quality problems. The crop is sizing well and
harvest is expected to begin about mid-August.

GRAPES: The California all grape crop is expected to total 5.03 million
tons, 7 percent below 1989 and 9 percent less than the 1988 crop.
The crop is maturing normally.

Raisin type grape production in California is initially forecast at 2.25
million tons, 12 percent below both the 1988 and 1989 seasons. The forecast
is based on 270 thousand bearing acres. There is no Raisin
Diversion Program (RID) for 1990. There was no RID program for 1989 but
25.0 thousand acres were enrolled in the 1988 RID. The expected yield of
8.33 tons per acre, this year, is down 12 percent from the final 1989 yield.
Harvesting of Thompson Seedless grapes for fresh market was virtually
complete in the Coachella Valley and just beginning in the San Joaquin
Valley by early July.

The California wine type grape forecast is 2.15 million tons, 2 percent
below 1989 and 1 percent less than two years ago. Bearing acreage is
estimated at 289 thousand acres, virtually unchanged froma year ago. The
1990 expected yield, at 7.44 tons per acre, is down 1 percent from last
year. The wine grape crop looks good, however, Memorial Day weekend rains
may have hurt the set on some vineyards in Mendocino, Napa, and Sonoma
Counties.

The first forecast for table type grapes in California is 630 thousand
tons, unchanged from the 1989 crop but 18 percent below the 1988 record high
season. The forecast bearing acreage, at 78.4 thousand acres, is down 3
percent from 1989. The expected yield this season, at 8.04 tons per acre,
is up 3 percent from 1989. California table grape harvest is well underway
with excellent quality reported.

APRICOTS: Final forecast for U.S. apricots is 122 thousand tons, unchanged

from last month's forecast but 4 percent greater than the 1989
production. California's crop forecast is 115 thousand tons, the same as
both last month's forecast and last year's production. The 1990 California
apricot harvest is progressing well. Harvest is expected to finish by mid-
July. Much of the crop is small in size, and, thus, a larger percentage
than usual will either be processed or left on trees. Production estimates
for Utah and Washington are 200 tons and 7.00 thousand tons, respectively.

CROP PRODUCTION AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS BOARD
JULY 1990 A-3 NASS, USDA


TOBACCO: This season's first flue-cured production forecast of 856 million

pounds is 6 percent more than last year's output. Production is
up in 4 of the 5 flue-cured producing States. Yield per acre, at 2058
pounds, falls short of the 1989 average yield by 11 pounds. Acreage for
harvest is 6 percent greater than a year earlier.

Maturity of the North Carolina crop is several days ahead of normal.
Harvest has begun in southeast. Markets are scheduled to open about two
weeks earlier than last year. The South Carolina crop is maturing at a mich
faster pace than normal. By the end of June, 70 percent was topped compared
with 32 percent last year and the 5 year average of 48 percent. Seven
percent was harvested by the end of June, compared with none last year. In
Virginia, the crop is showing stress from lack of moisture. Some areas are
experiencing early bloom. Georgia harvest continued at a fast pace with
hot, dry weather. As of July 1, 17 percent was harvested compared with the
5 year average of 13 percent. Florida growers began harvest about June 1.
The first market is expected to open July 17. Harvest is expected to be
camplete by mid-August.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED CONDITION: The pasture and range feed condition on

July 1, for the 48 contiguous States, was
76 percent, 4 points below June 1. ‘The July 1, 1989 condition was 77
percent and the 1979-88 average is 80 percent. Conditions were better than
last month in 22 States, below last month in 25 States and unchanged in one
State.

Pasture and range feed conditions were better than last year in 22
States, below last year in 24 States, and unchanged in 2 States.

Pastures and ranges in New Mexico were reported in the extreme drought
range. Arizona, California, and Georgia reported pasture and range feed
condition in the severe drought range. Twenty nine States reported
condition in the good to excellent range.

PAPAYAS: Fresh papaya utilization from Hawaii is estimated at 4.51 million

pounds in June, 16 percent lower than May 1990 and 20 percent
lower than June 1989. Cumulative fresh production for the first 6 months
of 1990 trails the same 1989 period by 4 percent. June weather conditions
were mostly favorable for papaya production. The first half of the month
was mostly sunny while increased shower activity in the second half of the
month helped maintain adequate soil moisture.

Area devoted to papaya production in June, totaling 3835 acres, was 1
Percent lower than May and 10 percent lower than June a year ago. Harvested
area totaled 2400 acres, 2 percent lower than the previous month and 3
percent lower than last June.

The forecast of fresh-market papaya production has been temporarily
suspended. This action is being taken because of the recent inconsistent
performance of the forecast model. A review of current procedures and
further research will be conducted to determine if the results and
predictability of the model can be improved. The estimate of actual fresh~
market utilization will be continued. This decision was reached jointly
among representatives of the papaya industry, the Agricultural Statistics
Board, and the Hawaiian Agricultural Statistics Service.

JULY 1990 B-5 NASS, USDA


RELIABILITY OF JULY 1 PRODUCTION FORECAST

The July 1 yield surveys include reports from over 25,000 farmers.
Farmers provided appraisals of crop conditions and expected yields for their
localities. In addition, objective yield surveys for winter wheat provided
small plot observations, counts and measurements in a probability selected
sample of fields. Again, these surveys are subject to sampling and non-
sampling errors. More importantly, the production forecasts are subject to
change due to future weather and other factors that cannot be measured
currently but can affect final production.

To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the winter wheat pro-
duction forecasts in this report, the "Root Mean Square Error" a statistical
“measure based on past performance, is provided below.

The "Root Mean Square Error" for the July 1 winter wheat production
forecast is 2.1 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast of 2.04 billion bushels will not be above or below
the final estimate by more than 2.1 percent or approximately 42.7 million
bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the dif-
ference will not exceed 3.6 percent or approximately 73.3 million bushels.
Differences between the July 1] winter wheat production forecast and the final
estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 28 million bushels, ranging
from 4 million to 54 million bushels. The July 1 forecast has been below the
final estimate 4°times and above 6 times. This does not imply that the July
l winter wheat forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final
production. °

NECTARINES: The California nectarine forecast continues at 205 thousand
tons, 3 percent greater than the 1988 and 1989 production.
Harvest is about one-third complete.

WALNUTS: The initial 1990 forecast for California walnuts is 220 thousand

tons, 4 percent below last year's production but 5 percent greater
than 1988. The 1990 walnut crop is in good condition. Early varieties are
showing an average crop. Hartley and Chandler varieties appear to be above
average.

ALMONDS: The July 1 forecast for the 1990 California almond crop is 655

million pounds shelled basis, down 2 percent from last month's
forecast but 34 percent above last year's crop. This forecast is 5.00
million pounds less than the 1987 record high crop of 660 million pounds.
The 1990 crop forecast is based on 407 thousand bearing acres.

The California almond crop generally remains in excellent condition
despite the current drought. Nut sizes are slightly smaller than 1989.
Fruit sets are heavier in Northern California and become lighter toward the
southern part of the Central valley. No major insect or disease problems
are reported.

ORANGES: The final forecast for U.S. all oranges is 186 million boxes, 1
percent above the June 1 forecast but 11 percent less than last
season. The Florida all orange forecast, at 110 million boxes, is virtually
ed from June 1 but 25 percent less than last season. The final
Florida Valencia forecast is 42.1 million boxes, virtually unchanged from
last month's forecast but 31 percent below last season. Valencia harvest
is virtually complete. The California all orange forecast is 73.0 million
boxes, 3 percent above the June 1 forecast and 24 percent greater than the
1988-89 season. The California Navel forecast is a record high 44.0 million
boxes, up 2 percent from June 1 and 29 percent greater than the 1988-89
crop. Harvest should be complete by mid-July. California's Valencia
forecast, at 29.0 million boxes, is 4 percent above last month and 17
percent greater than last season's crop. Harvest is about 30 percent
complete.

The all orange forecast for Arizona is expected to total 1.60 million
boxes, 16 percent below the April 1 forecast and 6 percent less than the
previous year. The Texas all orange forecast, which was carried forward
from June 1, is expected to total 1.21 million boxes, 35 percent below last
season's production.

The July 1 U.S. all orange forecast has deviated from actual production
by an average of 2.91 million boxes over the past ten seasons, ranging from
a low of 950 thousand boxes, in the 1986-87 season, to a high of 5.88
million boxes, in the 1980-81 season.
