CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 B-19 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA




POTATOES: Summer potato production is forecast at 20.3 mijlion cwt (923 thousand metric tons) up

4 percent from last month and 2 percent greater than last year's crop. With harvest
in progress in al] major areas, average yields are higher than earlier expected. The average
U.S. yield is now forecast at a record high 213 cwt per acre, 2 cwt higher than last year. Area
for harvest is estimated at 95.5 thousand acres (38.7 thousand hectares), up 1 percent from last
year, but the 3rd lowest of record.

Harvest in Virginia progressed well in July with only minor delays caused by rain. Growers
harvesting report excellent yields. Harvest in Delaware is nearly half completed, but lagging
behind last year. Harvest is also Tate in Alabama but the crop is expected to be up 1 percent
from last year. Many growers report a better crop than was earlier anticipated. Average yields
in New Jersey will top last year, but as a result of less acreage for harvest, total output will
be reduced 2 percent.

In Michigan, yield prospects improved 15 cwt per acre from July 1, in response to favorable
growing conditions. Quality of the 1982 crop is excellent. Minnesota production is forecast at
1.76 million cwt, a gain of 7 percent from last year. Both acreage and prospective yield are
higher than in 1981. The Texas production forecast is up more than one-fourth from last year
because of increased acreage. Harvest progress is normal and yield prospects remain excellent.
Hail damage reported earlier turned out to be minor.

In California, harvest started the last week in July and should increase through August.
Crop progress was slowed by rain and cool weather earlier in the summer but current condition of
the crop is good. Harvest activities in Colorado are slightly behind normal because of
scattered showers and muddy fields.

SWEETPOTATOES: The first forecast of 1982 sweetpotato production totals 13.9 million cwt (632

thousand metric tons), up 9 percent from last year and more than one-fourth
above the record low crop of 1980. Area for harvest at 114 thousand acres (46.1 thousand
hectares), is up 4 percent, while average yield per acre is forecast at 122 cwt, a gain of 5 cwt
from last year. ach of the producing States expect production increases from a year ago
ranging from 3 to 35 percent.

The North Carolina crop has progressed well even though wet conditions have prevailed in
several producing regions. Tar Heel production is forecast at 5.13 million cwt, up 10 percent
from last year. Harvest should start by the middle of August. About 10 percent of the Louisiana
crop is harvested. The production forecast of 2.70 million cwt is up 4 percent from 1981.
Excessive rains have hurt sweetpotato prospects in Georgia and South Carolina. Georgia crop
prospects are up 12 percent and South Carolina's output is expected to be 35 percent more than
981.

In Texas, production at 864 thousand cwt, is up 17 percent from last year. Early rains
slowed growth but recent warm, dry weather prompted good development. Harvest is slated to start
shortly. In California, a few early fields have been dug; but general harvest is 2 or 3 weeks
away. California production is forecast at 1.70 million cwt, up 3 percent from the previous
year.

TOBACCO: All tobacco production is forecast at 1.90 billion pounds (863 thousand metric

tons), 8 percent less than 1981 but 6 percent above 1980. Most of the decline in
production results from less acreage and lower yields for flue-cured tobacco. All tobacco
acreage is down 7 percent from the previous year and 2 percent below 1980. Yield of all tobacco
is expected to reach 2103 pounds per acre compared with 2114 pounds per acre in 1981.

Flue-cured production is expected to total 978 million pounds (444 thousand metric tons), 16
percent below 198] and 10 percent below 1980. The reduced production results from a decline in
acres for harvest and Tower average yields. Area for harvest this year is expected to total 476
thousand acres (193 thousand hectares) compared with 541 thousand acres (219 thousand hectares)
in 1981 and 555 thousand acres (225 thousand hectares) in 1980. The indicated yield of 2055
pounds per acre is 107 pounds below last year. Harvest is progressing well. Although excessive
rain in dune and July caused lower yields, crop condition is mostly good. Markets are open in

all States.

Burley production at a record high 775 million pounds (352 thousand metric tons), is 6
Percent above 1981 and 38 percent above 1980. Higher yields in Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri,
Ohio and West Virginia and acreage increases in nearly all States pushed production up. Acreage
is up 1 percent from last year and is 21 percent above 1980. Yield is expected to average 2310
pounds per acre, 107 pounds above 1981.

FARM NUMBERS DECLINE

The number of farms in the United States in 1982 is estimated at 2.40
million, down 1 percent from the 2.43 million in 198]. The decrease was
general throughout all regions of the United States. The percent of farms by
economic class continued to show an increase in the smallest and largest
classes while the midsize class continued to decline.

Total land in farms was 1039 million acres for 1982, down fractionally from
a year earlier. The average size farm for 1982 was 433 acres compared with
428 in 1981.

RELIABILITY OF AUGUST 1 PRODUCTION FORECASTS

Crop production forecasts in this report are based primarily on yield surveys taken about
August 1. The yield surveys included mailed reports from farmers for all crops and actual field
observations and measurements for corn, soybeans, cotton and wheat. Farmers provided appraisals
of crop conditions and probable yield information for crops on their farms and for their locali-
ties. 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 al) 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 August 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 August 1 corn for grain production
forecast is 6.7 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production
forecast of 8315 million bushels will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 6.7
percent or approximately 557 million bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence
level) that the difference wil} not exceed 11.6 percent or approximately 965 million bushels,

Also shown in the table is a 10-year record for selected crops of the differences between
the August | forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between
the August 1 forecast and the final estimate during the past 10 years have averaged 349 million
bushels, ranging from I million to 830 million bushels. The August I forecast has been below
the final estimate 7 times and above 3 times. This does not imply that the August 1% corn
forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate fina) production, For most crops the
number of years the forecasts have been below or above the final estimates is about equally
distributed.

PRUNES AND PLUMS: Production of prunes and plums in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon and Washington is
forecast at 60.8 thousand tons (55.2 thousand metric tons). This is }
Percent less than last year's crop and 23 percent less than in 1980. The Oregon crop is
expected to be 30.0 thousand tons, the same as last year. Bet was heavy in the Williamette
Valley and the crop looks good at this time. Natural drop is now occurring. Pollination and
fruit set were poor in northeastern Oregon. Washington expects 14.0 thousand tons, down 4
percent from 1981. Trees came through the winter in relatively good condition and a good bloom
and set were reported. However, June drop was heavier than expected. Limited picking was
underway in late July. The Michigan crop is forecast at 10.0 thousand tons down 38 percent from
last year. A short bloom period and poor set were the causes of the reduction. Quality and
sizing are good. Idaho expects 6800 tons, off 9 percent from 1981. The crop was damaged early
when a May frost hit the trees in the bloom stage. Also, hail reduced the crop in some areas.

PAPAYAS: Hawaii fresh papaya production in August is forecast at 3.10 million pounds (1410
metric tons), down 15 percent from July and 28 percent less than a year ago. Fresh

production will remain relatively low at 3.30 million pounds (1500 metric tons) in September,
down 44 percent from a year ago. October production is forecast to increase 9 percent from the
September level. November will be up 8 percent from October to 3.90 million pounds (1770 metric
tons). Kauai Island lost only a few additional trees to Phytophthora in July. With farmers
beginning to replant fields, Kauai may regain its pre-disease production level by mid-or-late
1983. The low production in the coming weeks is the result of heavy rains in March on Hawaii
Island and the continuing disease problem.

duly fresh production is estimated at 3.63 million pounds (1650 metric tons), down 1? percent
from the 3.66 million pounds (1660 metric tons) produced in June. In a year plagued by unfavor-
able weather, cumulative production January-July totaled 25.9 million pounds (11.7 thousand
metric tons), 26 percent less than production for the comparable period last year.

Total area in crop was 3080 acres (1250 hectares) for duly, up from 3040 acres (1230
hectares) in June. Area harvested last month increased 2 percent over June. Compared with a
year ago, total area in crop was down 4 percent, while area harvested was up 1 percent.

WALNUTS: The California walnut crop is forecast at 200 thousand tons (1817 thousand metric tons),

unchanged from the July 1 forecast, but 11 percent less than last year's record high
crop. Expectations for the overall quality of the crop remain high, with sunburn, blight and
husk fly problems minimal at this time. Maturity is currently expected to be about one week
later than normal. Nuts are expected to be larger than last year.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 A-18 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


WINTER WHEAT: Production of winter wheat is forecast at 2.10 billion bushels (57.0 million

metric tons), down fractionally from last year's record high production and 1
percent below the July | forecast. Growers expect to harvest 58.5 million acres (23.7 million
hectares), virtually unchanged from last year. Yield is forecast at 35.8 bushels per acre,
unchanged from last year, but down slightly from the 36.0 bushels forecast last month, Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas combined to’ account for the 1 percent decline in U.S. acreage for harvest
since duly 1, from increased abandonment caused by wet field conditions and delays during
harvest. Oklahoma and Washington both registered yield increases of 1.0 bushel from last month,
while Kansas, Missouri and Texas indicated decreases in yield of 1.0, 3.0 and 2.0 bushels,
respectively.

Winter wheat harvesting in the 15 major producing States reached 84 percent complete on
August 1, 1982, This compares with 85 percent in 1981 and the average of 87 percent. Combining
was virtually completed in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas by August 1 after numerous delays caused
by rain and soft fields. The delays also increased abondoment as weeds overtook some fields and
some low lying areas did not dry out sufficiently to harvest. As of August 1, harvesting was
nearing completion in the Corn Belt. In the Pacific Northwest, harvest in Oregon and Washington
was ahead of normal with 41 and 38 percent harvested, respectively, compared with the 198]

harvest of 31 and 18 percent by this date.

DURUM WHEAT: Ourum wheat production is forecast at 144 million bushels (3.92 million metric

tons). This is 22 percent below last year's record high production, but 33
percent more than 1980. The decline in expected production for 1982 results from a sharp drop
in acreage for harvest, with all durum producing States indicating substantial reductions.
Acreage for harvest this year, at 4.27 million acres (1.73 million hectares), is down 26 percent
from 198] and is the smallest since 1979 when 3.93 million acres (1.59 million hectares) were
harvested. The yield prospect of 33.8 bushels per acre is a record high and compares with 32.3
bushels last year and 22.4 bushels in 1980.

BILLION BSHELS
an

Harvesting of durum wheat in North Dakota was just beginning on August 1. Although somewhat
Jater than normal, the durum crop was in mostly good to very good condition because of generally
excellent moisture conditions in the major durum producing areas. Hot, dry weather in July
lowered the potential somewhat in South Dakota.

OTHER SPRING WHEAT: The August 1 production forecast for spring wheat other than durum is a

record high 530 million bushels (14.4 millfon metric tons), up 4 percent
from the previous record set last year, and 43 percent above production in 1980. The anticipated
‘increase in production from 1981 is caused by higher expected yields. All States show increases
over last year with some at record or near record levels. The U.S. average yield is at a record
high 32.7 bushels per acre compared with 30.6 bushels last year and 25.3 bushels in 1980.

JULY WEATHER SUMMARY

Showers and thundershowers covered nearly all of the United States. Much of the normally
dry Southwest and central Plateau area had well above normal precipitation. Most areas east of
the Rockies had ample rain, but parts of the northern Plains had less than normal, and southern
Texas was very dry. The spotty nature of showers left some areas from the upper Mississippi
Delta through the Ohio Valley short of soil moisture. Severe weather damaged some crops in
southeastern Towa and adjacent parts of Illinois, in the Texas Panhandle, and in the Southeast.
Temperatures were generally mild over most of the Corn Belt, but the western side of the Belt
suffered a few days of temperatures in the midnineties.

The month began with a cold high-pressure system centered over the Great Lakes region.
Unseasonably cool weather covered much of the East, and some record low temperatures were
recorded in the Lakes region and in the central Appalachians. During the first 3 days--Thursday
to Saturday--precipitation was heavy at times on the back side of the high pressure, beginning
in eastern Nebraska and moving through the Ohio Valley. Open weather occurred in the southern
Plains.

FIRST WEEK...Showers and thunderstorms were widespread over eastern United States, although
some areas remained dry. The Northeast from Pennsylvania through New England had little or no
rain, and much of central and eastern Texas remained dry. A few showers fell in the eastern
portion of the Plateau from Arizona to Idaho and into south-central Montana. There were some
heavy thundershowers in parts of the central Plains. Unusually warm weather in the central and
northern Plains spurred crop development which was behind normal.

SECOND WEEK...Typical duly weather of showers and thunderstorms was scattered over all of
the East, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Northwest. Heavy showers in the South and parts
of the Southeast helped some areas where soils were dry, but severe weather caused some local
damage. Heavy rain from southern and eastern Iowa into Wisconsin fell on ground that was
already wet and resulted in local flooding. Moderate temperatures occurred early in the week
but reached to the middle and high nineties through the Plains late in the week.

THIRD WEEK...Moderate temperatures and light to moderate rain over most of the Corn Belt
benefited crops. However, heavier rain in southeastern Iowa and adjacent sections of I1linois
was too much for the already wet area. Showers in Ohio were spotty and left some areas short of
readily available moisture. Warm weather through the Plains reached into the spring wheat areas
and spurred crop development. Warm, dry weather occurred in the central and southern Plains.

FOURTH WEEK...The Corn Belt again enjoyed moderate temperatures and occasional light rain.
However, the spotty nature of the showers left some eastern areas short of topsoil moisture.
Showers and thunderstorms were moderate to severe over most of the South and East. Much of this
area had been too dry and, therefore, welcomed the rain, but severe weather caused some local
flooding and property damage. Heavy thunderstorms from the Texas Panhandle to southeastern
Wyoming supplied welcome moisture to most crops, but hail and heavy downpours damaged some crops
in Texas. (Prepared by NOAA/USDA Joint Agricultural Weather Facility).

ROP DEVELOPMENT

As of August 1, development of corn and soybeans was later than normal in the western Corn
Belt but earlier than normal in the eastern Corn Belt. Progress of the cotton crop lagged in
Oklahoma and Texas. The crop was considerably ahead of normal in Missouri and Tennessee, and was
about on schedule in other States. Only a few areas of the Nation, notably parts of the eastern
Corn Belt and northern Plains, indicated any weather related stress to crops. Warmer
temperatures in the Corn Belt during July favored corn silking and soybean bloom, although a few
areas in the western region continued too wet. Heavy rains early in July interrupted winter
wheat harvest, but the hot, dry weather which followed allowed rapid harvesting in the central
Plains and good development, of spring wheat farther north. During July, eastern areas of the
Nation received timely rains which maintained good crop growing conditions.

At the beginning of August, corn was in good to excellent condition in most parts of the Corn
Belt and the Southeast, and fair to good condition in other regions. Nearly three-quarters of
the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, and 20% had progressed to the dough
stage. In the South, most fields were in the dent stage, and many were mature. Harvesting was
underway in the extreme South, reaching 10% completion in Georgia, 5% in South Carolina, and 24%
n Louisiana.

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


Harvest started in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas around mid-July and by August 1 about 18
percent of the crop had been harvested. In Georgia harvest was 10 percent finished by August 1.
Rainfall was frequent during July and high humidity has kept corn moisture percentages above
harvestable levels.

SORGHUM FOR GRAIN: Production of grain sorghum is forecast at 829 million bushels (21.1 million

metric tons), 6 percent less than last year's output but 43 percent more
than 1980. Area to be harvested for grain is forecast at 13.8 miflion acres (5.58 miltion
hectares), 1 percent above 1981 and 10 percent more than in 1980. Yield per harvested acre is
forecast at 60.1 bushels, 4.0 bushels less than last year's record high yield of 64.1 bushels,
but 13.8 bushels more than the drought affected yield in 1980. Based on August 1 conditions,
yield prospects in the Northern Plains are equal to last year in Nebraska and 2 bushels higher
in South Dakota. In the Central and Southern Plains, prospective yields in Kansas are down 3
bushels from last year, while yields in Texas are forecast 7 bushels per acre less than in
1981. Oklahoma, with a 2 bushel increase in prospective yield from last year, is the exception
in the Southern region.

Development of the sorghum crop remained somewhat behind normal during July as a result of
earlier wet weather which delayed plantings. As of August 1, the crop was in fair to good
condition. In the major producing States, one-third of the acreage was headed -- a week to ten
days later than average. In Kansas, the crop is in good to excellent condition, except in the
east central counties where stands vary from poor to good. The sorghum crop in Nebraska is
mostly good to fair but development is running two full weeks behind normal. In Texas, crop
development and early harvest is on schedule but crop conditions vary widely. Greenbug
populations are increasing in the Southern Plains States.

OATS production is forecast at 591 million bushels (8.59 million metric tons), up 16 percent from

1981, and 29 percent above 1980. The 1982 harvested acreage is up 10 percent from 1981 and
a record high yield of 57.0 bushels per acre is in prospect. This yield is 3.0 bushels above
1981 and 1.1 bushels above the previous record set in 1971. Compared with a month earlier, the
August 1 forecast yields are lower in the heart of the Corn Belt, but offset by improved
Prospects in the northern States from Wisconsin westward to Montana.

Later than normal harvest is occurring in many States because of delayed seeding this spring.
In Minnesota and South Dakota, harvest was less than 25 percent complete on August 1, compared
with a norma) of 54 and 60 percent, respectively. Jowa was about 70 percent complete compared
with an average of 87 percent.

BARLEY: Barley production is forecast at a record high 509 million bushels (11.1 million metric

tons), up 6 percent from both the July 1 forecast and the 1981 crop and 41 percent
above the drought damaged 1980 crop. Production is up sharply from last year in Montana and
Idaho showing increases of 35 percent and 18 percent respectively. The Washington forecast is
up 7 percent from 198]. Significant reductions occurred in Minnesota, down 12 percent, and
North Dakota, down 5 percent, because of a reduction in acreage for harvest. The California
Production forecast is 5 percent below last year as the result of lower yields and less
acreage. Nationally, acreage for harvest, at 9.19 million acres (3.72 million hectares) is up
fractionally from 1981. Average yield per acre is up 3.1 bushels to a record high 55.4 bushels.
During July, yields held steady or increased in all States except South Dakota where prospects
dropped 2 bushels. Major States showing yield increases from July 1 included Utah, Colorado,
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. As of August 1, harvest was underway in
most areas, although running later than last year.

ALL WHEAT: U.S, producers expect to harvest 2.77 billion bushels (75.4 million metric tons) of

all types of wheat in 1982, 1 percent below last year's record high production, but
17 percent above production in 1980. Acreage for harvest was down from last year, but higher
yields partially offset the decline.

Nationally, the average yield per harvested acre is expected to be a record high 35.1
bushels compared with 34.5 bushels last year and 33.4 bushels in 1980. About 79.0 million acres
(32.0 million hectares) will be harvested for grain, down 2 percent from last year. Harvested
acreage is 9] percent of the acreage planted, the same as last year.

FLAXSEED: Production this year is forecast at 10.9 million bushels (278 thousand metric tons),

up 40 percent from 1981 and 38 percent more than in 1980. Acreage for harvest, at 830
thousand acres (336 thousand hectares), is up 35 percent from a year ago and 22 percent from
1980. The average yield per harvested acre, forecast at 13.2 bushels, is up 0.6 bushel from last
year and 1.6 bushels more than in 1980.

North Dakota, with 59 percent of the U.S. acreage for harvest, is expecting a yield of 12.5
bushels per acre, the same as last year. Minnesota's anticipated yield, at 14.5 bushels, is up
2.0 bushels from a year ago. South Dakota's forecast, at 14.0 bushels, is up 1.0 bushel from
last year. In North Dakota, the leading flaxseed producing State, development continued to lag
behind normal in July with 66 percent of the acreage in bloom or beyond by August 1, compared
with 83 percent a year ago and the average of 81 percent. However, the crop was generally in
good condition on August 1.

PEANUTS: Peanut production is forecast at 3.46 billion pounds (1.57 million metric tons), 13
Percent below last year but 50 percent above the drought-stricken 1980 crop. Most of
the decline in production from 1981 was caused by acreage reductions in all producing States
except New Mexico. The reduced acreage is attributed to changes in the peanut program.
Harvested acreage, at 1.27 million acres (516 thousand hectares), is down 15 and 9 percent,
respectively, from 1981 and 1980. This would be the smallest acreage harvested in the U.S.
since 1933. Yield prospects point to a record high 2710 pounds per acre, exceeding by 40 pounds
per acre, the previous record high yield set last year. The comparisons in this report include
Mississippi for 198] but that State was eliminated from the estimating program in 1982.

Production in the Southeast (Ala, Fla, Ga, S C) is expected to total 2.21 billion pounds, 11
percent below the 198] crop of 2.49 billion pounds. Growers plan to harvest 17 percent fewer
acres this year. Yield for the 4-State area is expected to average 3065 pounds per acre, 201
pounds above 1981's average yield. Alabama's yield prospects are 35 pounds short of their
record yield set in 1979. Florida's peanut crop is in good condition with harvest expected to
start around mid-August. Georgia's main problem has been excessive moisture. Abundant moisture
stimulated vine growth but contributed to fungus and disease problems. Farmers are spraying to
control the disease and fungus, however, and overall the crop is in good condition.

The Virginia-North Carolina crop is forecast at 697 million pounds, 22 percent less than
last year's crop of 893 million pounds. North Carolina growers plan to harvest 17 percent less
acreage in 1982 while Virginia growers expect a 10 percent reduction in their acreage. The
Virginia and North Carolina crops are in good condition, but both States anticipate yields wel}
below last year's record highs. Most fields in both States have reached the pegging stage.

In the Southwest (Texas, OK, N Mex), the crop is expected to total 552 million pounds, 9
percent below last year. Area for harvest is estimated to be 313 thousand acres, down 9 percent
from a year ago. Yield is forecast at 1764 pounds per acre, down 7 pounds from 1981. Peanuts
are beginning to peg in the northern part of Texas and progressing well in the southern part
despite a shortage of moisture. Oklahoma's crop is late but in good condition. Most fields
have bloomed with a few fields pegging.

COTTON: AT1 cotton production in the United States is forecast’ at 11.1 million bales, 29

percent less than 1981. Upland production is expected to total 11.0 million bales,
down 29 percent from last year while American Pima is forecast at 94.8 thousand bales, 19
percent above 1981 production.

Planted acreage of all cotton is estimated at 11.5 million acres (4.67 million hectares), 19
percent below 1981 planted acreage. Plantings are equal to or below last year in all States.
Texas, the State with the largest acreage, shows a 23 percent deline. U.S. growers expect to
harvest 9.50 million acres (3.84 million hectares), 31 percent less than in 1981. In Texas,
growers have abandoned about one-third of the acreage planted. The U.S. yield per harvested
acre is forecast at a record high 563 pounds per acre, 20 pounds above last year and 16 pounds
above the previous record high yield established in 1979.

In the Southeastern States of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina,
production is forecast at 772 thousand bales, down 8 percent from 1981. Frequent rains are
causing rank plant growth and difficulties in controlling insects.

The Delta - Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri and Tennessee -- crop is forecast at

3.28 million bales, 4 percent below 1981. Lower acreage is partially offset by favorable yield
prospects. The crop got off to the best start in several years.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 A-12 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Increased yields were only partially offset by a reduction in acres for harvest. Nationally,
growers expect to harvest 16.2 million acres (6.56 million hectares), 2 percent less than last
year. In North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota, reductions in harvested acreage are 2
Percent, 4 percent and 10 percent, respectively, Montana expects a 3 percent increase in
harvested acreage over last year. .

Two percent of the spring wheat was combined in North Dakota by August 1, compared with 4
percent last year and the average of 6 percent. Condition of the crop was mostly good although
development was later than normal throughout the growing season. Conditions were also good in
Minnesota with 6 percent swathed by August 1 compared with 33 normally. Mofsture supplies
continue generally adequate in Montana, but hot July weather in South Dakota caused some loss of
an otherwise excellent yield potential.

RICE: Rice production for 1982 is forecast at 156 million hundredweight (7.06 million metric

tons), 16 percent less than last year's record high crop but 6 percent more than
production in 1980. Harvested acreage and average yield per acre are both down from a year
earlier.

Area for harvest is estimated at 3.29 million acres (1.33 million hectares) for 1982, down
14 percent from last year's record high and 1 percent less than in 1980. Rice acreage decreased
substantially in all States except Missouri, where a 5 percent increase was recorded. However,
Missouri usually accounts for only roughly 2 percent of the U.S. rice acreage.

This year's average yield per acre is estimated at 4735 pounds, 138 pounds less than a year
earlier. Yield was up in Missouri, unchanged in Texas, and down elsewhere,

Frequent showers delayed planting of the 1982 rice crop. Although condition of the crop is
good, prospects are not as good as last year when conditions were nearly ideal. In Arkansas,
there are some reports of lower yields for medium grain varieties. In Texas, weather along the
coast has been ideal but red rice continues to be a problem in many fields. In Louisiana, rice
was in good to excellent condition. Harvest was moving well--13 percent complete this year
compared with 18 percent last year and the average of 16 percent. For the 5 southern States, 39
percent of the rice had headed compared with 48 percent a year earlier.

RYE: Production of rye is forecast at 19.9 million bushels (506 thousand metric tons), 7

percent more than was produced in 198], and 21 percent above 1980. Average yield is
forecast at a record high 28.5 bushels per acre, up 1.8 bushels from last year and 0.4 bushel
higher than the previous record set in 1971. Growers expect to harvest 700 thousand acres (283
thousand hectares) for grain, fractionally more than a year earlier.

In the major producing States, yield increases from last year are expected in Minnesota,
North Dakota, and South Dakota while Georgia indicated a decline from a year ago. In South
Dakota, less than half of the crop had been harvested by August 1. Yields were not as high as
expected. Precipitation in the major producing areas of South Dakota was below normal for July
causing short or critically short topsoil maisture for most of the month. Moisture supplies in
Minnesota were more favorable. In Georgia, harvest is complete after some delays caused by
excessive moisture.

SOYBEANS: August 1 soybean production is forecast at a record high 2.29 billion bushels (62.4

million metric tons), This is 13 percent above last year's production, 28 percent
more than 1980 and J percent larger than the previous record high production set in 1979, A
yield of 32.3 bushels per acre is forecast, 1.9 bushels more than last year, 5.9 bushels above
1980 and 0.2 of a bushel higher than the previous high obtained in 1979. Acreage for harvest,
at a record 71.0 million acres (28.7 million hectares), is up 6 percent from last year, up 5
percent from two years ago and up 1 percent from 1979.

Soybeans continued in mostly good condition during July. Rains improved crop prospects in
most areas, but in others, more moisture js needed for continued growth ‘and development.
Expected yields are up from a year ago in all North Central States except Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri, Nebraska and North Dakota. Wisconsin showed no change from the previous year. Iowa
and Missouri were both down 2.5 bushels, while Kansas, Nebraska, and North Dakota were each down
5.0 bushels from a year ago. Increases in the remaining North Central States ranged from 2.0
bushels in both Minnesota and South Dakota to 10.5 bushels in Ohio. The 1981 crop season in
Ohio varied from extremely wet in the spring to dry during late August and early September.
Yields in South Central States except Oklahoma increased. Mississippi's yield of 25.0 bushels
is up 4.0 bushels from last year and Arkansas, at 24.0 bushels, is up 2.0 bushels.

Atlantic Coast States a)) showed yield increases from 198) except Maryland, North Carolina,
and Pennsylvania where no changes were shown,

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 B-13 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Soybeans were in mostly good condition at the beginning of August. Plants were blooming on
63% of the acreage and setting pods on 27%. Like corn, soybeans developed slower than normal in
the western Corn Belt but were ahead of average in the eastern Corn Belt.

Cotton was generally in fair to good condition. As August began, cotton was squaring on 86%
of the acreage and setting bolls on 48%. Development of the Oklahoma and Texas crop was
considerably later than a year ago because of late planting, a wet spring, and hail damage.
Boll set was 25 percentage points behind 1981 in Oklahoma and 44 points behind 1981 in Texas.
However, boll set was 31 percentage points ahead of a year ago in Missouri and 22 points ahead
in Tennessee. Harvesting was underway in Texas from the Lower Valley through the Coastal Bend
area,

Grain sorghum was in fair to good condition. Heading reached 35% completion by the
beginning of August. Harvesting in Texas was 46% finished--about on schedule.

Winter wheat combining was 84% complete by August 1. After getting a late start and
progressing slowly because of wet conditons, producers were able to make rapid progress durin
much of July. However, harvesting was still behind normal in northern areas, by as much as aa
percentage points in South Dakota and 24 points in Montana. Combining was finished in Indiana,
Kansas, and Texas. Spring wheat had headed on 98% of the acreage by August 1. Harvesting was
underway in a few areas, but progress was considerably behind last year and average.

FEED GRAIN PRODUCTION RISES

Production of the four feed grains (corn, sorghum, oats and barley) is expected to total a
record high 252 million metric tons, up 1 percent from last year and 27 percent above the
drought reduced crop of 1980. The first production forecast for corn, which normally accounts
for about four-fifths of the feed grain, increased 1 percent from a year ago. Sorghum
production is forecast to decline 6 percent from a year earlier. Barley production was up 6
percent from last year while the oat production rose 16 percent.

FOOD GRAIN PRODUCTION DECLINES

Food grain production (wheat, rye and rice) in 1982 is forecast at 82.9 million metric tons,
2 percent less than last year. Winter wheat production, at 57.0 million metric tons, is down
fractionally from last year; other spring wheat production, at 14.4 million metric tons, is up 4
percent and durum wheat, at 3.92 million metric tons, is down 22 percent from 1981. Rice
production of 7.06 miltion metric tons is down 16 percent, while rye production, at 506 thousand
metric tons, is 7 percent more than a year earlier.

CORN FOR GRAIN: Production of corn for grain is forecast at a record high 8.32 billion bushels
(211 million metric tons), 1 percent above the previous record high of 8.20
billion bushels (208 million metric tons) set in 1981.

The average yield per acre in the U.S. is forecast at a record high 113.9 bushels, up 4.0
bushels from last year's yield of 109.9 bushels per acre. Yields in the leading States and the
bushel change from last year are: Iowa 122, down 5; Illinois 136, up 7; Indiana 125, up 16;
Nebraska 111, down 4; Minnesota 112, up 2; and Ohio 122, up 26. In the Southeastern States,
good weather and abundant rainfall have aided the crop and record yields are expected in
Alabama, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.

The area planted to all corn is now estimated at 81.9 million acres (33.1 million hectares)
down 250 thousand acres from the June estimate. The change is based on surveys conducted in
several States where wet, cool weather delayed planting. In these States, the June estimate was
based on a higher proportion of planting intentions than usual.

The area now expected to be harvested for grain is 73.0 million acres (29.6 million
hectares), down 570 thousand acres from the area expected in June.

In the Eastern Corn Belt, planting was completed ahead of normal. Since planting, ideal
weather and timely rains have produced good to excellent crop prospects. In the Western Corn
Belt, mainly Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and South Dakota, planting was delayed by very wet
weather. Some growers were still planting corn tate into dune. The weather has been good since
planting and moisture has been ample. The crop in the Western Corn Belt looks good but
development is generally a week to 10 days later than normal.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 Ang CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA






The crop is in good condition but stages of development are varied. Some fields have been
topped and are ready for harvest while others are knee-high and continue to grow. Blue mold has
been reported in North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky but only minor damage has occurred.

The output of Fire-cured tobacco is expected to total 46.6 million pounds (21.1 thousand
metric tons). This represents a 24 percent increase over 198]. Acreage is up 14 percent and
yield up 139 pounds per acre from last year. .

Southern Maryland Type 32 tobacco production is forecast at 31.4 million pounds (14.2
thousand metric tons), # percent below last year's revised production of 46.4 million pounds
(21.1 thousand metric tons). Most of the reduction in production is caused by the sharp decline
in acreage in North Carolina plus discontinuance of production in South Carolina and Virginia.
Acreage for harvest dropped 10.1 thousand acres from 1981 to 26.2 thousand acres (10.6 thousand
hectares). Yield is forecast at 1199 pounds per acre compared with 1281 pounds per acre the
previous year.

Growers of Dark _air-cured tobacco expect to harvest 10.5 thousand acres (4240 hectares) with
a total producton of 18.5 million pounds (8400 metric tons). Production increase of 13 percent
over 1981 is expected. Acreage is up 3 percent.

All ciga e production, 52.3 million pounds (23.7 thousand metric tons), is 17 percent
below 1987. Cigar filler production is down 9 percent and binder production is down 19
percent. Cigar wrapper production is only one-third of last year's output.

SUGARBEETS: Production of sugarbeets is forecast at 21.7 million tons (19.7 million metric

tons), 21 percent smaller than the 198] crop. The outlook for lower yields in most
producing areas, coupled with reduced acreage are limiting the anticipated tonnage for 1982.
The expected U.S. yield of 20.7 tons per acre compares with 22.3 tons in 1981. The yield
forecast is below last year in all producing States except North Dakota and Minnesota. Acreage
for harvest, at 105 million acres (423 thousand hectares), is 15 percent less than the 1981
harvested acreage. The only States with a larger harvested acreage than last year are North
Dakota, Texas and Arizona.

Northwest and southern Minnesota received plentiful moisture and high yields as anticipated.
The disease problems that reduced yields in the southern area Yast year have been controled thus
far. Beets in the west central area have been held back by dry weather.

California's Imperia] Valley harvest was complete by mid-July. Yields were lighter than
usual because of white fly damage. Summer harvest on this year's crop began in Kern County in
late July.

Idaho beets were late getting started this spring due to low temperatures, but they made
good growth during July. Some poor stands were reported, resulting from frost damage in late
spring.

Most producing areas in North Dakota had adequate moisture through July but the southeast
Portion of the State had some loss in yield potential from dryness. Moisture was still needed
as the month ended. Limited harvest is currently scheduled for early September.

Emergence was spotty in Michigan but early June rain resulted in some late emergence and
fairly uniform stands. Moisture conditions are good but additional timely rain will be needed.

SUGARCANE: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 1982 is forecast at a record high

28.6 million tons (26.0 million metric tons), up 4 percent from the 27.4 million
tons (24.9 million metric tons) produced in 1981. The increase reflects prospects for higher
yields than a year ago. The average yield per acre is forecast at 37.9 tons compared with 36.3
tons in 1981. Harvested acreage is expected to total 756 thousand acres (306 thousand
hectares), virtually the same as the 755 thousand acres (306 thousand hectares) harvested last
year.

Moisture has not been a problem in Florida this season. The hot, humid weather has been
favorable for good cane growth. Sugarcane smut is reported again this year in Louisiana, but is
not expected to reduce yields significantly. Irrigation remains heavy in the Rio Grande Valley
of Texas, with fields being flooded at 10- day intervals. Temperatures have been high and
evaporation levels higher than usual. The crop is generally in good condition.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 A-15 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


The Clingstone crop in California, at 1.08 billion pounds, is unchanged from last month but
10 percent below 1981 production. California's Freestone forecast, 410 million pounds is 7
percent less than last year but unchanged from the July 1 forecast. Quality has been average on
the Freestones but below average on the Clingstones. Brown rot and split pits have been the

major problems in the Clingstones.

The South Carotina crop is forecast at 190 million pounds, up 12 percent from a month ago but
56 percent less than last season's crop. Favorable weather during July resulted in good sizing

and quality and helped prevent fruit drop. Yields often exceeded earlier expectations. Peach
shipping was about finished as the crop was quite limited in the Piedmont and the crop ripened

early.

New Jersey expects to harvest 75.0 million pounds, unchanged from the July 1 forecast. Grow-
ing conditions have been generally favorable but harvest is about a week behind last year.

The forecast of 78.0 million pounds in Pennsylvania, is 2.0 million pounds below the forecast
a month ago. Very dry weather during July limited peach size. Prospects vary greatly from one
locality to another.

PEARS: Production of pears in the U.S. is forecast at 743 thousand tons (674 thousand metric
tons), up 1 percent from the July 1 forecast but 17 percent less than last year.

The forecast of Bartlett production in California, Oregon and Washington, at 476 thousand
tons (432 thousand metric tons), is up 1 percent from last month but 20 percent less than last
year. The Oregon forecast increased 4000 tons from the July 1 forecast. Favorable growing
conditions and good sizing were the major reasons for the increase. Picking will begin about
mid-August. Harvest began in mid-July in the Sacramento Valley of California. Several cases of
Pinkeye, caused by cool weather during the growing season have been reported. A large portion
of the crop was being packed for fresh market as inventories of canned pears were at a high
level. Washington's Bartlett crop sized wel] during July and quality is expected to be very
good. Picking should start about August 9.

Production of pears other than Bartlett in the Pacific Coast States, forecast at 224
thousand tons (203 thousand metric tons), is unchanged from last month but 13 percent less than
Tast year. The crop continues to size wel] in California and Washington, and harvest is
expected to start the latter part of August.

GRAPES: The first forecast of the Nation's grape crop is 5.38 million tons (4.88 million metric

tons), 21 percent more than last year but 4 percent less than the 1980 record large
crop. The California all grape forecast is 4.90 million tons, 23 percent above 1981 but 4
percent below 1980. The California raisin variety grape forecast is 2.30 million tons, 29
percent greater than last year but 15 percent below 1980 production. Good growth occurred in
duly; however, development remains later than normal. Smaller berry sizes have been reported
from several areas but bunches are large and plentiful. Harvest of Thompson Seedless for fresh
market from the Coachella Valley ended about mid-July and started in the San Joaquin Valley as
the month ended. The California wine variety grape forecast is a record high 2.10 million tons,
17 percent greater than last year and 5 percent above the previous record high production set in
1980. Maturity jis about 7 to 10 days behind normal and warmer weather is needed to increase
sugar levels. The California table variety grape forecast is 500 thousand tons, 19 percent
above the 198] crop and 17 percent more than the production harvested in 1980. Picking of Flame
Seedless, Perlette and Cardinal grapes began by mid-duly in the San Joaquin Valley and was in
full swing by August 1. There have been some reports of high acid and low sugar content grapes.

Grape production in New York is forecast at 166 thousand tons, 11 percent above 1981
production but 5 percent below the 1980 crop. Condition of the crop is good and there is an
increase in bearing acres. The Michigan grape crop is forecast at 58.0 thousand tons, 9 percent
above 198] and 17 percent more than 1980. Quality is good with high sugar content and moderate
acid. The Washington grape crop forecast is 150 thousand tons, 6 percent below 1981 but 3
percent above the 1980 crop. Some winter damage to vines was noted this spring. Development of
the crop to date has been excellent.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 B11 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


Upland production in Texas and Oklahoma is forecast at 2.80 million bales, down 54 percent
from last year. Severe weather during the last half of June and early July reduced planting in-
tentions and caused the abandonment of many fields in the seedling stage on the Plains of Texas
and in Oklahoma. Some cotton was replanted as late as July 1. This acreage will need an
extended growing season to produce normal yields. Growing conditions were generally favorable
during July and the crop is making good progress,

Upland production in Arizona, California and New Mexico is forecast at 4.19 million bales,
down 20 percent from last year. Rains delayed planting in California and cool weather retarded
early plant growth. These damp, cool conditions enhanced the development of Verticillium Wilt.
Wilt symptons are present in many San Joaquin Valley fields but recent hot weather has reduced
the effects of the disease. The Arizona crop is progressing normally under favorable growing
con tons.

COTTONSEED: Production for 128 based on a three year average lintseed ratio, is forecast at
4.44 million tons (4.03 million metric tons) 31 percent below 1981 production.

HAY: Al1_hay production in 1982 is forecast at a record high 152 million tons (137 million
metric tons), up 6 percent from 1981 and 3 percent above the previous record high produc-

tion set jn 1979. Acreage intended for harvest is estimated at 60.5 million acres (24.5 million
hectares), up 1 percent from a year earlier. A record high all hay yield of 2.50 tons per acre,
is expected this year compared with 2.38 tons per acre in 1981. Ideal temperatures and ample
moisture resulted in heavy growth of hay across much of the Nation although frequent showers and
wet soils have delayed cutting and curing in most areas. Additional cuttings in much of the
eastern half of the Nation will be possible because of the rapid growth of hay.

Production of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures is forecast at a record high 90.5 million tons
(82.1 million metric tons), 8 percent more than a year ago and 3 percent above the previous
record set in 1979. Acreage for harvest totals 26.5 million acres (10.7 million hectares), up 1
percent from 1981. Average yield at 3.41 tons per acre compares with 3.17 tons a year earlier.

All other hay production is forecast at a record high 61.0 million tons (55.4 million metric
tons), 3 percent above last year and 19 percent above 1980. Yield per acre is forecast at 1.80
tons per acre compared with 1.76 tons in 1981. Acreage for harvest at 34.0 million acres (13.8
million hectares), is up fractionally from 1981.

Among the major producing States, production of all hay in Wisconsin, at 12.3 million tons,
is up 11 percent from last year. Alfalfa yield per acre, at 3.60 tons was a record high. South
Dakota's all hay crop is estimated at 9.32 million tons, up 61 percent from a year earlier due to
record high yields for both alfalfa and all other hay. The high yields reflect, in part, ample
moisture supplies in most areas of the State this year. Alfalfa hay production in Iowa is
estimated at 7.31 million tons, 4 percent more than a year earlier.

ORY EDIBLE BEANS: Production of dry edible beans in 1982 is forecast at 26.4 million hundred-
weight (1.20 million metric tons), down 17 percent from last year and

virtually unchanged from 1980. Acreage for harvest, at 1.85 million acres (747 thousand
hectares), is down 16 percent from 1981 but up 1 percent from 1980. The average yield per acre
this year is forecast at 1431 pounds, down from 1445 pounds in 1981 and 1449 in 1980. Production
is expected to be lower than last year in al] States except California and New York---both had
increases in acreage. Average yields are forecast at or below last year's level in all States
except Michigan and Minnesota.

Warmer weather during July encouraged vegetative growth but development at the beginning of
August was behind normal in many areas including lags of 1 to 2 weeks in Michigan, North Dakota,
Nebraska, Idaho and Minnesota. Much of the acreage was just entering the bloom stage on
August 1. Overall condition was generally good despite the later than normal development.

Planting in California continued into late July. Favorable growing conditions provided good
pod set on earlier planted beans. In other regions, Colorado beans are about normal in
development with almost half of the crop flowered. Some minor losses to flood and hail occurred.
In Kansas, progress is slightly behind normal but adequate moisture has kept the crop in
generally good condition. June rains helped New York beans through a subsequent July dry spell
and condition remains good. Cool weather this spring kept development in Washington and Wyoming
behind normal but condition on August 1 was mostly good. Some mold developed on bushy plants in
Washington but was not severe.

CROP PRODUCTION, AUGUST 1982 A-13 CROP REPORTING BOARD, SRS, USDA


HOPS: Production of hops in the U.S. is forecast at a record high 79.3 million pounds (36.0

thousand metric tons), fractionally above the previous record high set last year and 5
percent more than 1980. Acreage for harvest, at 41.7 thousand acres (16.9 thousand hectares),
is 1400 acres less than last year. However, yield is forecast at 1901 pounds per acre, up 65
pounds from last year.

Washington, which accounts for nearly three-fourths of the U.S. total production of hops, is
expecting a crop of 58.8 million pounds, a 1 percent decrease from last year. A 4 percent
decrease in acreage was only partially offset by 3 percent increase in yield. This year's crop
got off to a late start because of a cooler than normal spring. However, there was a heavy
bloom with good cone set. Light harvest is expected to get underway about August 20.

The Oregon crop, at 13.0 million pounds, is expected to be 5 percent greater than last
year. This reflects an increase in acreage and an anticipated increase in yields. Good yields
are expected in all types except the Fuggle which was adversely affected by weather in June.
Idaho production is forecast at 6.61 million pounds, up 18 percent from 1981. Acreage increased
12 percent and yield is expected to be up 5 percent. Cool weather has caused the crop to be
late. At 500, acreage in California dropped 58 percent, reducing forecast production to 900
thousand pounds. A 29 percent increase in anticipated yields does not offset the sharp
reduction in acreage.

PASTURE AND RANGE FEED: Pasture and range feed condition on August 1 averaged 86 percent of
normal for the 48 contiguous States. This is 4 points above a year ago
and 12 points more than the 1971-80 average for this date. During July conditions decreased in
32 States, were unchanged in 2 States and improved in 14 States. In the Southeast, conditions
were mostly good to excellent with a few scattered areas in nearly all States rated poor to
fair. Ample rainfall during most of the month sustained or improved pasture growth. Pastures
and ranges in a large part of the Pacific and northern mountain regions, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Montana were in good to excellent condition on August 1. Rainfall] in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas and a large part of Missouri also resulted in good to excellent
conditions. In Arizona and New Mexico, conditions ranged from very poor to good. Texas pasture
and range condition ranged from severe drought in the southern part to good to excellent in
northern areas. Pasture condition in the Great Lakes States and the northeast ranged from poor
to excellent. New York and Maine had the largest proportion of poor to fair pastures. In most
of the other States in this area, the largest portion of pastures were rated good to excellent.

APPLES: The Nation's apple crop is forecast at 8.58 billion pounds (3.89 million metric tons),
a fractional increase from the July 1 forecast and 1] percent more than production in
1981.

Production in the Eastern States is forecast at 3.14 billion pounds, 13 percent above last
year. Maine, Rhode Island and West Virginia forecasts increased from duly 1. In West Virginia,
growers reported the crop to be sizing well? and in good condition. The Pennsylvania crop is
sizing well with a heavy set. However, June drop was greater than normal. Virginia growers
reported that size is very good for this time of year. Insect and disease controls are working
well.

The apple crop in the Central States is forecast at 1.47 billion pounds, 27 percent more
than the 1981 crop. Michigan expects a bumper crop with all varieties doing well. Although the
crop continues to make good progress in Ohio, drought and high temperatures during late July
slowed sizing in the central part of the State. Also, many orchards were hit by hail.

The Western States expect a crop of 3.98 billion pounds, 4 percent more than production the
previous year. Washington expects a record crop as apples are sizing well. Hot weather caused
some sunburning of apples during the latter part of July. The harvest of Gravensteins, in
California, began in late July in the Watsonville and Sebastopol areas. Oregon's apple crop is
sizing well.

PEACHES: Peach production in the United States is forecast at 2.22 billion pounds (1.01 million

metric tons), up 7 percent from the July 1 forecast but 20 percent Jess than the 1981
crop. Excluding California Clingstone peaches, the crop is forecast at 1.14 billion pounds, 28
Percent less than last year.
