CROP PRODUCTION, April 1966 Crop Reporting Bosrd, SRS, USDA

POULTRY AND EGGS: ‘The Nation's laying flock produced 5,634 million eggs
during March, down 1 percent from both March last year and
the 1960-64 average (48 State comparison). The number of hens and pullets
of laying ege during Merch averaged 296.4 million birds, down slightly
from March a year ago and 1 percent below the February 1966 average. Pro-
duction per layer averaged 19.0 eggs during March -- a 1 percent decline
from March 1965. Production per layer adjusted for number of days shcwed a
4 percent increase from February to March. Egg production for the first
three months of 1966 totaled 15,966 million eggs~- a decrease of almost 2
percent from the corresponding 1965 quarter.

March egg production was above March 1965 by 5 percent in the South
Atlantic and 3 percent in the South Central and Western regions. ‘The South
Atlantic and the Western regions set ea record high production for the month.
Production decreased 3 percent in the North Atlantic region and 8 percent
in the West North Central. The East North Central region decreased 4 per-
cent to the lowest March production of record for the region.

Rate of lay was down in all regions except the East and West North
Central regions which registered gains of 1 percent. Rate of ley per layer
during the first three months of 1966 was 53.4 eggs, compared with 54.1
eggs during the same pericd in 1965.

On April 1, the Netion's laying flock totaled 295,281,000 birds, a
decrease of 1 percent from Merch 1 and slightly below April 1, 1965. ‘he
number of layers declined from March 1 in all regions except the South
Central which was up 1 percent and the West which increased slightly. The
April 1 rate of ley nationally was 62.7 eggs per 100 layers, 5 percent
above the previous month and 1 percent above April 1 a year earlier.

Farm held corn was 12 percent larger and oats, 15 percent larger than last
yeer, but farm stocks of barley were 1 percent less.

Farm stocks of food grains were 3 percent less than last year, but one
fourth above average. Stocks of all wheat were 3 percent less than last
year, but durum wheat stocks were 20 percent above the previous record
on April 1, 1963.

Stocks of soybeans on farms on April 1 were 53 percent larger than the
low April 1965 total, and 6 percent above average. Flaxseed stocks on farms
were 65 percent greater than a year ago and 79 percent above average.

Fruit Prospects Favorable

Prospects for the 1966 peach crop are generally good in the nine
Southern peach States. Freezing temperatures late in March thinned the
crop but total damage was light. In South Carolina, bloom occurred 3 to
5 days later than usual. North Georgia prospects are spotty, but the out-
look is good in the important Fort Valley~Montegzuma and Brooks County
areas. Alabama's Chilton County expects a good crop. California peaches,
past full bloom, show a good set.

In California, blooming of other deciduous tree fruits and nuts is
running a week to 10 days later than normal. By the end of March, pears
and prunes had passed full bloom and cherries were nearing full bloom.
Apricots, grapes and almonds are leafing out. Lemons and avocados are
in heavy bloom. In Washington and Oregon, fruit and nut trees are
near normal development for the season.

Harvest of the 1965-66 citrus crop was active during March. About
59 percent of the oranges and 79 percent of the grapefruit were picked
by April 1. Trees in all areas are in good condition.

More Early Spring Vegetables and Potatoes Expected

Expected production of early spring vegetables is 7 percent more
than last year and 5 percent above average. Increases are expected for
most early spring vegetable crops except asparagus, cabbage and onions.

Early spring potato production is expected to be 6 percent larger
than last year and 2h percent above average. Acreage for the late spring
potato crop is expected to be 3 percent greater than a year ago.

March Weather Relatively Mild

March weather was mild over most of the Nation except for two major
blizzards across the Dakotas, Minnesota and Nebraska. These storms brought
hardship and severe livestock losses in some areas, but the melting snows
added to reserves of soil moisture for the 1966 season. The Central and

Southern Plains received limited precipitation in March and temperatures
averaged above normal. Surface soil needs some good spring rains.

In the Central and Eastern Corn Belt States temperatures were spring-
like only for the first three weeks of March. Precipitation was below
normal but good reserves have maintained adequate soil moisture. March
precipitation was light in the Northeast following near or akove normal

anuary and February amounts. Surface soils have enough moisture to start
the 1966 season, but suhsoil reserves are low. Along the South Atlantic
coast, little rain fell after the first week of March. Surface soils dried
a 8 of grass and forest fires were serious. However, good subsoil
moisture supplies maintained early growth of pastures and grains.

Florida's tangerine crop is estimated at 3.6 million boxes, 8 percent
less than last season. Harvest is virtually complete. Tangelo production
in Florida is estimated at 1.2 million boxes, 20 percent more than last
year. Only a few late bloom fruit remain for harvest.

The first forecast of Florida's 1966-67 lime crop is 540,000 boxes, 20
percent larger than last season's crop and 48 percent more than the
1959-63 average.

As of April 1, processors had used almost two-thirds of the oranges
harvested compared with 64 percent a year ago. Processors have used 54
percent of the grapefruit harvested compared with 49 percent to the same
date last season. Lemon harvest was 37 percent complete by April 1.
Processors have taken 52 percent of lemons already harvested. Last year
processor use accounted for 39 percent of the crop harvested by April 1.

Tornado winds moved across Florida on the morning of April 4 at the
Tampa-Haines City level but missed most of the unharvested citrus. Some
trees (mostly old and marginal) were uprooted or snapped off but total loss
is so small that it may not affect next year's crop. Fruit blown from trees
was immediately picked up and had no appreciable effect on this year's
production.

Florida's citrus trees are in excellent condition. Peak bloom for
oranges in the last week of March, was about three weeks later than normal.
Picking of early and midseason varieties is virtually complete. Moat of
the Valencia crop is nearing acceptable maturity. Grapefruit bloom is
expected to peak the second week in April, almost a month later than usual.

In California, March weather favored the citrus harvest. Fruit sized
well. Harvest of Navel oranges is approximately 75 percent complete.
Light harvest of Valencias is underway in the Desert Valleys, and is expect-
ed to start in Southern California the latter part of April. Grapefruit
harvest in the Desert Valleys is expected to increase during April. In both
the Desert Valleys and Other Areas, warm March weather stimulated size
growth. Harvest of California's lemon crop is expected to peak about mid-April.

In Arizone, harvest of Valencia oranges is underway with approximately
25 percent of the crop picked by April 1. Grapefruit harvest was moderately
active in March. Increased volume is expected in April. Lemon harvest is
completed. Arizona's citrus trees are in good condition, apparently
undamageifrom low temperatures of the winter.

In Texas, grapefruit harvest was active during March. Supplies are
expected to decline during April. Picking of Valencia oranges is active.
Citrus trees wintered without any freeze damage. Trees were in bloom at

the end of March.

CROP PRODUCTION, April 1966 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

The expected harvest of acreage for grain, 38.6 million, is 91.7 per-
cent of the seeded acreage compared with 83.5 percent harvested in 1965 and
the average of 88.7 percent. The indicated yield per seeded acre is 26,3
bushels compared with 22.8 in 1965 and the average of 23.5 bushels. These
forecasts are based on growing conditions reported by crop correspondents
about April 1. In the past ten years, the average change in U.S. production
estimate from April 1 to harvest has been 63 million bushels, ranging from
13 million to 210 million bushels.

In the Great Plains April 1 prospects were much brighter than a year
earlier. Wheat had an excellent start last fall and plants developed a good
root system. Precipitation was ample, except in the extreme Southern Plains,
and the crop wintered with a minimum of damage. Early spring moisture was
light from Kansas southward but subsoil reserves permitted good early growth
of the crop. Wheat began to show stress from dryness in the area centering
in eastern New Mexico and the Panhandle of Texas where moisture was urgently
needed to maintain present prospects,

In the Corn Belt weather conditions have been favorable and growers
expect an excellent wheat crop. In the South, dry weather last fall retarded
early development but conditions have improved since December.

April 1 growth in Montana was more advanced than a year ago and cur-
rent conditions point to another high-yielding crop. In the Pacific North-
west the crop has been favored with good weather, and growers reported
prospects on April 1 as "best in several years."

WHEAT STOCKS ON FARMS: All wheat stocks on farms April 1 totaled 257 million

bushels, 7 million bushels below a year earlier but
52 million above average. Trends were mixed in the major wheat States.
States in the Northern Plains, Washington, and Idaho showed larger holdings
than a year earlier but the Central Plains States showed smaller stocks.

Disappearance of wheat from farms during the January-March quarter was
151 million bushels, 20 percent above last year and 6 percent more than average.

Durum wheat stocks on farms in Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Montana
totaled 48 million bushels, the largest since records began in 1962. April 1,
1965 holdings amounted to 39 million bushels, Disappearance from farms during
January-March was 8.4 million bushels compared with 7.8 million during the
first quarter of 1965.

CORN STOCKS ON FARMS: April 1 farm stocks of corn were 12 percent larger
than a year earlier and 2 percent above the 5-year

average. April 1 stocks of 2,160 million bushels were the second largest of

record, but were 6 percent below the record large stocks two years earlier.

Disappearance during the January-March quarter was 10 percent larger
than a year earlier and 4 percent above average.

OAT STOCKS ON FARMS: Oats on farms April 1 totaled 461 million bushels,

15 percent more than a year earlier and 4 percent
above average. Among the major oat producing States, farm holdings were
sharply above a year ago in Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Nebraska. Larger stocks in these States result from the bumper 1965
crop,

CROP PRODUCTION, April 1966 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Along the Gulf Coast from Central Texas eastward, there was too much
rain in February and early March, but the areas dried out later in the
month. Frost on March 24 damaged some fruit bloom and tender vegetation
in the northern parts of the Gulf States. In Western States, March
precipitation was light except in some areas of the Pacific Northwest.
Mountein snow depths are generally lower than usual and areas irrigated
by stream flow may have reduced late season water supplies. Most
reservoir storage levels are average or above and water supplies are
favorable.

Field Work Ahead of Schedule

Progress in the early season is well ahead of last year and is normal
in most areas of the Nation. Farmers were able to do an unusual amount
of preseason work last fal] and during the winter. In Indiana plowing
of lané intended for corn and soybeans was 35 percent completed by
April 1 compared with 15 percent last year and the average of 5 percent.
Seeding of spring oats was 28 percent completed in Ohio and 40 percent in
Indiana compared with merely beginning a year earlier. Spring planting
also is off to a fast start in the Central Plains areas with 80 percent
of intended spring oats and 64 percent of spring barley seeded in Kensas,
far ahead of last year and moderately ahead of average.

Field work has progressed rapidly in the South Atlentic area, but
some soils were too dry to work in late March. Farmers from Eastern
Texas to Georgia had to limit field work early in March because of wet
soil but rapid progress was made later and work is about back to normal.
In the western part of the Nation soil preparation and planting was
rapid in the later half of March.

In the Northern Pacific Coastal areas planting operations were
hampered by frequent rains and are slightly behind schedule.

Pastures Improved

Reported pasture condition for the 30 States surveyed on April 1
was 81 percent of normal. This was 8 percentage points above last year
and 3 points above average. Pastures started growth with warm temperatures
early in March, but growth was slowed by below normal readings late in
the month. More moisture is needed for April pasture growth in most
southern areas. Range feed condition improved from a month ago in most
Western States.

Livestock are reported in generally good condition across the Nation.
Calving and lambing has been progressing under generally favorable
conditions, Livestock deaths during the two March blizzards were locally
severe with greatest losses reported in South Dakota. Some reports were
received of higher death rate of new born calves due to weakening of stock
during the storm. Feed supplies have been generally adequate for winter
needs in all areas of the country.

WINTER WHEAT: Winter wheat production is forecast at 1,110 million bushels,

FLAXSEED STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of flaxseed on farms April 1 totaled 10.8

million bushels, the largest for this date since
1959. Stocks were 65 percent higher than a year ego and 79 percent above
average. North Dakota accounted for 69 percent of the Nation's farm holdings,
South Dakota 19 percent and Minnesota 11 percent.

Disappearance of flaxseed from farms during the January-March quarter
totaled 3.1 million bushels--54 percent more than this period a year earlier
and 5 percent above average. Supplies for the 1965-66 marketing season were 23
percent above a year earlier and the largest since the 1958-59 season.

SORGHUM GRAIN STOCKS ON FARMS: Stocks of sorghum grain on farms on April 1

totaled 136 million bushels, 36 percent more

CROP PRODUCTION, April 1966 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

The estimate for winter potatoes, at 4,960,000 hundredweight, is down
slightly from last month but 8ti2) more than a third above last year.
In the important Dade County area of Florida, harvest was about half
completed by April 1 and good supplies are expected throughout the month.
In the Ft. Myers-Inmokelee area, the "red" crop was nearly all harvested
by April 1, but harvest of white varieties will continue throwh most of
April. Harvest of the winter crop in California is nearly complete but
light supplies will be availeble most of April.

The planted acreage of late spring potatoes was just under the
January 1 intentions. The expected harvest of 125,200 acres is 3 percent
more than harvested last year and the largest late spring acreage since
1961. California, which usually accounts for a little over 40 percent
of the late spring acreage, expects to harvest 2,400 acres less than last
year. But this decrease is more than offset by increases in Arizona,
Texas, North Carolina and Alabama. Nearly all of California's late spring
acreage was planted by April 1, although it was delayed somewhat in the
important Kern County area by adverse weather. Stands in most fields are
good and the crop is making excellent growth. Digging is expected to
start in the Edison district about mid-April, a little later than usual.
Growers in the Baldwin area of Alabama completed planting in mid-March
after much delay because of wet fields. Considerable replanting has been
necessary. The Arizone acreage has progressed well after a set-back
by an early March frost. In the San Antonio and Pearsall areas of Texas
the crop is growing well and in the later Knox-Haskell area, fields are
coming up to good stands. In the eight Northeast counties of North
Carolina nearly all acreage was planted before April 1 and growing
conditions have been excellent.

PASTURES: Pastures exerged from winter in good condition with little

winter kill. ‘The dormant season was generally open and mild.
Precipitation during the winter was generally above normal in the
southeastern quarter of the country and the Gulf States, although below
norma] in an area west of the Southern Appalachians. In the Northeast
drought was alleviated by near normal winter precipitation. It was
below normal in the northern section of the West, and sharply ebove
normal in the Southwest. By April 1, most areas of the country needed
more precipitation because it was below normal in March. Temperatures
in March averaged considerably above normal, but the month ended on the
cool side.

Reporters' judgment of pasture feed condition was requested in only
30 States on April 1 this year. Pastures in these States are usually
advanced enough by April 1 to observe relative growth conditions. For
the 30 States surveyed, pasture feed condition averaged 81 percent of
normal on April 1, compared with 73 percent a year earlier and 78 per-
cent, average for the date.

April 1 pasture condition in the five North Central States surveyed
was 9 to 13 percentage points above a year earlier and 4 to 7 points
above average. Temperatures were warm early in March, but below normal
later, which slowed pasture growth.

PEACHES: The 1966 peach crop in the 9 Southern peach States is expected

to be about the same as last year--12 percent above average.
Freezing temperatures in all States during late March thinned the crop,
but overall damage was light.

Even though North Carolina's early varieties were in bloom, the low
temperatures of March 29 were of short duration and there was no apparent
damage. South Carolina peach trees bloomed 3 to 5 days later than usual
with full bloom occurring March 22 in the Ridge area, March 25 in the
Sandhills, and April 1 in the Piedmont area. A general freeze on March 29
caused little overall damage. In Georgia prospects are spotty, but in the
important Fort Valley-Montezuma and Brooks County areas prospects are good.
Bloom occurred several days later than usual. By March 22 early varieties
around Fort Valley were in full bloom.

Alabama peaches were damaged by low temperatures in late January and
by a freeze on March 25, but prospects are for a fairly good crop in
Chilton County, The Mississippi crop is expected to be about average.
Zero temperatures on February 1 and a freeze on March 24 damaged early
varieties in northern areas. In Arkansas freezing temperatures March 24
and 25 delayed bloom but caused little damage to peaches.

In Lovisiana full bloom occurred about March 25, a week or 10 days
late, although earlier than last year. Damage from the freeze on
March 24-25 was light. A freeze in Oklahoma on March 24 only partially
thinned the crop, and the Texas freeze of March 23-24 caused no serious
damage in the two major areas.

AVOCADOS: The first forecast of California's spring and summer avocado

production is 22,000 tons, nearly double last year's short
crop. The fall and winter production was 32,000 tons. The total esti-
mate for California (both seasonal groups) is 54,000 tons, more than
double the previous year's harvest and 11 percent above average. About
one~half of the Fuerte crop is harvested and picking of the other fall
and winter varieties is nearing completion. Harvest of the spring and
summer crops is underway but less than 10 percent had been picked by
April 2.

POTATOES: The first forecast of early spring potato production is

5,175,000 hundredweight, 6 percent more than last year’s
large crop and a record high output. An increase in acreage over 1965
more than offset the expected reduction in average yield per acre. How-
ever, prospective production from the record high acreage in the Hastings
area of Florida, where over 80 percent of the crop will be produced, is
down slightly from last year because of lower yields. The late January
freeze severely damaged the early planted acreage in this area. Heavy
rains in late February caused some damage to seed pieces. Harvest in
the Hastings area is expected to get underway around mid-April but vol-
ume will be light until around May 1. The Texas crop is progressing well
and harvest is expected to start in early April. Both the acreage and
indicated yield are well above last year and production is expected to
be about double that of 1965.


CROP PRODUCTION, April 1966 Crop Reporting Board, SRS, USDA

Disappearance during the January-March quarter this year totaled 219
million bushels compared with a 221 million bushel year-earlier disappearance
and the average of 264 million bushels. Movement of farm stocks in North
Dakota was hampered due to a severe snow storm in March.

SOYBEAN STOCKS ON FARMS: Soybean stocks on farms April 1 totaled 150 million

bushels, 53 percent above last year's 98 million and
6 percent above average. Current stocks are 22 percent below the record for
the date reached on April 1, 1964. Stocks on farms April 1, 1966 were 18
percent of 1965 production. A year ago farm stocks were 14 percent of 1964
production.

The North Central States accounted for 89 percent of total U. S. stocks
on April 1 and were 55 percent more than farm holdings a year earlier. Growers
in the South Atlantic Region had slightly more than twice the stocks of a year
ago, but farm holdings were down 1 percent in the South Central. Farm
stocks totaled 35 million bushels in Iowa and 30 million bushels in Illinois-~-~
the major producers.

The January-March disappearance of soybeans from farms totaled 134 million
bushels, the highest of record for this quarter. Disappearance for the same
period a year ago was 93 million bushels. The average is 82 million. Move-
ment from farms during the January-March quarter ran ahead of last year in
all but the South Atlantic States.

RYE: The condition of rye as of April 1 was 91 percent of normal, up 8 per-
cent from a year earlier and 6 percent above average. Condition of the
crop was above a year earlier in all regions except the South Atlantic.

Adequate moisture last fall in most producing States permitted good
development and allowed the crop to enter the winter in good to excellent
condition. The crop is still dormant in most Northern rye States, but winter-
kill is expected to be light. Spring growth has been retarded in some South
Atlantic States due to lack of moisture.

Seeding of rye for all purposes in the fall of 1965 totaled nearly 4.0
million acres, 7 percent less than the 1964 fall seedings and 11 percent below
average.

RYE STOCKS ON FARMS: Rye stocks on farms April 1 totaled 9.9 million bushels,

the highest April 1 stocks since 1956. Stocks were 5
percent higher than a year ago and 78 percent above average. The Dakotas,
with 7.4 million bushels, accounted for three-fourths of the Nation's farm
holdings.

Movement of rye from farms during the first three months of 1966 totaled
3.2 million bushels--45 percent above the same period last year, but 12 per-
cent below average. Rye supplies for the 1965-66 marketing season were up 20
percent from the previous year and 12 percent above average.

BARLEY STOCKS ON FARMS: Farm stocks of barley on April 1 totaled 105 million

bushels--l1 percent below last year and 14 percent
below average. Montana and North Dakota held 58 percent of the National
total. Montana stocks were down 8 million bushels from a year earlier, but
North Dakota holdings were 8 million bushels higher.

Disappearance of barley stocks during the January-March quarter was 90
million bushels, 7 million bushels more than the comparable period a year
earlier and the second largest of record for the January-March quarter.
Disappearance was lower than a year earlier in all regions except the West.

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF APRIL 1, 1966

Wheat wintered with only light damage and prospects for the 1966
crop are good although rains are needed in the Central and Southern
Plains areas, according to the Crop Reporting Board. An 8 percent in-
crease from last year is now forecast for winter wheat production.
Farm stored feed grains total 13 percent above last year. Wheat stocks
on farms are 3 percent smaller than a year earlier, but soybeans held
on farms total 53 percent more.

Because March weather was warm across most of the Nation, crop work
for the 1966 season is ahead of normal. March precipitation was light
and soils dried rapidly. Good spring rains are needed to maintain crop
progress. Frosts in late March damaged some peach bloom in southern
regions reducing prospects in some localities.

Pastures started growth earlier than last year, but development
slowed because of cool and dry weather late in March. Livestock are in
generally good condition although losses were severe locally in the
Northern Plains because of two March blizzards. March milk production was
5 percent less than last year. Eeg production was down 1 percent.

Winter Wheat Crop Up 8 Percent

The April 1 forecast of winter wheat production is 1,110 million
bushels -- 8 percent more than last year and 12 percent above average. The
indicated yield per seeded acre of 26,3 bushels compared with 22.8 in 1965
and the average of 23.5 bushels. Rye condition on April 1 was 5 points
above average.

In the Plains areas grain acreage went into the winter with good
growth, In the Northern Plains, the crop is just emerging, but little
winter damage is evident. ‘In Central and Southern Plains, grain acreages
came through the winter in good condition and spring growth started un-
usually early. March winds caused some erosion on sandy soils but there
was Limited damage because of good ground cover from earlier growth. Con=
tinued lack of rainfall has reduced surface moisture and a good rain is
needed, especially in New Mexico and the Panhandle of Texas.

In the Corn Belt, wheat fall growth was limited because of late seeding.
Stands improved during winter and current prospects are very good. Farmers
in the South Atlantic States report winter grains in generally good con=
dition, but rain and warmer weather are needed to promote growth. Small
grains, and winter grazing crops made excellent growth in the South Central
regions until slowed by low temeratures late im March. No permanent damage
was reported from the low temperatures. Rye was haading along the Gulf Coast.
Grain crops in the Pacific Northwest are in good condition. March snow added
moisture in Washington tut some areas in Oregon are in need of surface
moisture for the start of spring growth.

Farm Stocks of Feed Grains and Qilseeds Up-sttheat Lower

Tonnage of the four feed grains stored on farms on April 1
totaled 13 percent more than a year earlier and 3 percent above average.
Farm stocks of sorghum grain were 36 percent larger than last
year and 22 percent above the previous high of April 1, 1964.
