3Released July 12, 1995, by the Agricultural Statistics Board.  Forecasts refer 
to July 1, 1995.                                                                
                                                                                
                       All Wheat Production Down 6 Percent                      
                                                                                
All wheat production for 1995 is forecast at 2.19 billion bushels, down         
6 percent from 1994 to the lowest level since 1991.  Yields are expected to     
average 35.9 bushels per acre, down 1.7 bushels from last year.  Harvested area,
at 61.0 million, is 1 percent less than a year ago.                             
                                                                                
Winter wheat production is forecast at 1.53 billion bushels, down 5 percent from
the June forecast and 8 percent from 1994.  U.S. yields are now expected to     
average 37.0 bushels per acre, down 2.6 bushels from last month and 3.2 bushels 
from last year.  Area for grain harvest is estimated at 41.3 million acres,     
unchanged from both last year and the June 30 "Acreage" report.                 
                                                                                
Hard Red Winter wheat States from Nebraska to Texas have lower yields than last 
month.  Kansas and Oklahoma are off 7 and 6 bushels, respectively.  In both of  
these States large numbers of heads were more than offset by record low head    
weights.  The low head weights are from a combination of freeze damage, disease 
problems (notably rust) and weather damage to ripe wheat.  Prospects for        
improved yields in Montana, Colorado, and South Dakota partially offset the     
Central Plains declines.  Both Colorado and South Dakota have record high head  
counts.                                                                         
                                                                                
Major Soft Red Winter wheat declines occurred in Illinois and Missouri, down    
6 and 5 bushels, respectively.  Indiana is down 2 bushels, but a very good yield
is expected from the northern portion of the State.  Arkansas's harvest resulted
in better than expected yields.  The Illinois - Missouri crops have relatively  
high head counts but head weights are lower than average.                       
                                                                                
White winter production in the Pacific Northwest is up from last month.  Head   
counts are a record high in Idaho.  Washington and Oregon are up 4 and 5 bushels
from last month.  Indicated weight per head is at or near record levels in all  
3 States.

Other Spring wheat production is forecast at 546 million bushels, down 3 percent
from 1994.  Area for grain harvest is 16.4 million acres, down 7 percent from   
last year.  Yields are forecast at 33.2 bushels per acre, up 1.4 bushels per    
acre from last season.  The expected yields are higher than 1994 in all States  
except Colorado, North Dakota, and Oregon.  Crop development trails average in  
nearly all States; North Dakota is about 2 weeks late.                          
                                                                                
Minnesota's forecasted yield, while higher than last year, is one of the lowest 
July forecasts ever.  Record high temperatures in late June has fostered concern
about the late seeded acres.  Montana has had ample moisture, development is    
paralleling 1993; this would be a record high production.  Ten days of 90 degree
temperatures has limited tillering potential of North Dakota's crop.  Utah's    
early seeded spring wheat is in very good condition.  Wyoming's yields are at   
record high levels.                                                             
                                                                                
All orange production decreased 1 percent from June to 11.69 million tons but   
remains 14 percent above last season.  This year's production is 142,000 tons   
below the record high crop of 11.83 million tons (274 million boxes) set in     
1979-80.  Florida production of 205 million boxes (9.24 million tons) was       
adjusted down slightly from last month but is 18 percent above a year earlier.  
Early and mid-season variety production ended at 120 million boxes (5.39 million
tons).  The Valencia forecast is off slightly from June 1 to 85.7 million boxes 
(3.86 million tons) but is 28 percent above a year ago.  The Florida Valencia   
harvest ended the last week of June.  California's 1994-95 all orange production
is 63.0 million boxes (2.36 million tons), up 1 percent from last season but    
2 percent below April. The Navel orange forecast is 37.0 million boxes          
(1.39 million tons), unchanged from previously but 1 percent above last year.   
The Valencia forecast declined to 26.0 million boxes (975,000 tons), down       
4 percent from April but equal to last season.                                  
                                                                                
Florida frozen concentrated orange juice yield for the 1994-95 crop is          
1.50 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix.  Yield is unchanged from last month  
but down from last season's final of 1.57 gallons per box.  Final yield for     
early and mid-season varieties averaged 1.44 gallons per box, down from         
1.52 gallons per box last season.  The Valencia crop yielded 1.58 gallons per   
box, compared with 1.59 gallons per box last month and 1.66 gallons per box a   
year ago.  The final yield is reported by the Florida Citrus Processors         
Association.

HDR2012000110120712950830June Weather Summary                                   
                                                                                
June Weather Summary:  Rainfall became less organized across the Central United 
                       States, allowing most rivers to return to their channels 
by mid-month.  Slightly farther south, heavy rain struck Oklahoma and Kansas    
twice before June 10, and again on June 23-24 and 28-29, hindering winter wheat 
crop development, promoting disease, and hampering harvest activities.  Wet     
weather also persisted from the central Appalachians to Florida, and from       
California to the northern and central Rockies.  In contrast, drier-than-normal 
weather prevailed in the western and central Gulf Coast region, and in most     
areas from the western Corn Belt to New England.  Little or no rain fell in     
parts of the Southwest.                                                         
                                                                                
In the Great Lakes and Northeastern States, a mid- to late-month heat wave      
broke numerous records, and pushed monthly temperatures 2 to 7 degrees F above  
normal.  Across the northern Corn Belt, the hot, breezy weather dried and       
crusted topsoils, but showers and cooler weather returned by month's end.  In   
the Southeast, where temperatures were uniformly near normal, conditions varied 
from dry and warm in the central Gulf Coast States, to wet and humid in the     
southern Middle Atlantic region.  The remnants of Hurricane Allison briefly     
dumped heavy rain from western Florida to eastern North Carolina on June 5-6.   
Farther west, areas from the Southwest to the central High Plains observed      
abnormally cool weather for the third consecutive month, as temperatures ranged 
from 2 to                                                                       
6 degrees F below normal.                                                       
                                                                                
On June 8, temperatures dipped below freezing in Idaho's Snake River Plain,     
with a June record noted by Pocatello (28 degrees F), and a record-late last    
freeze by Boise (31 degrees F).  Two days later, 2.1 inches of snow blanketed   
Casper, WY.  Meanwhile, a 5-week hot spell ended in the Southeast, but not      
before temperatures reached 101 degrees F in Montgomery, AL and 100 degrees F   
in Jacksonville, FL on June 10.  At mid-month, a powerful storm struck the      
West, delivering out-of-season precipitation to California, including           
0.66 inches in Fresno and 0.60 inches in Los Angeles.  East of the system,      
warm, dry weather overspread the central Plains and western Corn Belt, ending a 
9-week spell of excessively cool, wet weather.                                  
                                                                                
Rainfall intensified over the Southeast after June 18, resulting in local       
flooding along the east slopes of the central Appalachians and in southern      
Florida.  Monthly totals included 10.18 inches (319 percent of normal) in       
Roanoke, VA and 20.25 inches (220 percent of normal) in Miami, FL.              
                                                                                
Heat arrived in the Great Lakes States on June 16, where International Falls,   
MN observed its first of seven consecutive daily records, including all-time    
highs of 99 degrees F on June 17-18.  Marquette, MI notched eight daily records 
in a row (June 16-23) en route to a record-warm June (66.3 degrees F).  As heat 
spread eastward, June records were established on the 19th in Alpena, MI        
(103 degrees F), Burlington, VT (100 degrees F), and Muskegon, MI (98 degrees   
F).                                                                             
                                                                                
Toward month's end, heat overspread the West, while a cool airmass swung into   
the North-Central States.  The month ended with five consecutive daily-record   
highs in Quillayute, WA, including 92 degrees F on June 28-29.  In contrast,    
the last day of June featured daily-record lows in locations such as Great      
Falls, MT (36 degrees F) and Williston, ND (34 degrees F).

General Crop Comments:  Early in June, rain and wet field conditions left row   
                        crop planting behind schedule.  Spring tillage and      
planting were slowed by rain and wet fields in the Midwest, southern Great      
Plains, and Delta regions.  The first week of the month had fewer than 3 days   
suitable for fieldwork in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Kansas.  Early in the    
month, row-crop planting averaged 3 to 4 weeks behind schedule, the latest      
planting progress in 20 years.  Wet conditions for June accelerated weed growth 
and restricted weed control activities.  Rain showers in the Eastern States     
brought relief from dry soil conditions.                                        
                                                                                
At the start of June, corn planting was behind the average due to wet field     
conditions that caused some farmers to plant around wet spots.  Soybean         
planting was delayed in the Midwest as producers concentrated on completing     
corn planting.  At the beginning of June, heavy rains in the Southeast from     
tropical storm Allison limited field activities but improved soil moisture      
supplies and brought an end to the drought conditions.  Late-season crop        
planting proceeded rapidly in the Dakotas where possible, but showers and wet   
fields left planting progress well behind schedule.  Frequent showers in the    
Midwest caused farmers to plant around-the-clock between storms.  Muddy soil    
conditions in Missouri slowed planting progress, leaving corn planted 5 weeks   
behind the average.  Emerged crops were yellowed and suffered from excessive    
moisture in the eastern Corn Belt.   Across the Nation, wet conditions have     
made weed and insect control a top priority after the crops were planted.       
Cool, dry weather in the Southwest slowed cotton development, and producers in  
the Texas Coastal Bend and lower Valley were spraying to control beet           
armyworms.                                                                      
                                                                                
By mid-June, warm, sunny weather enabled row crop producers to make significant 
planting progress across the Midwest.  The number of days suitable for          
fieldwork ranged from 3.7 days in North Carolina to 7 days in North Dakota,     
with most States reporting 5 to 6 days.  Much-needed rain was received in the   
mid-Atlantic States, but soil moisture remained short in the Southeast.  The    
prolonged cool, wet spring slowed wheat development and raised producers'       
concerns for weed and insect control in addition to disease problems across the 
Nation.  Soil moisture ranged from 84 percent short to very short in New Mexico 
to 48 percent surplus in South Dakota.  Oklahoma's cotton planting was limited  
by wet fields, while cotton development in California was slowed by cool        
weather and was 3 weeks behind normal.  Later in June, hot, dry weather         
announced the arrival of summer across the Central States, stressing row crops  
and ripening winter wheat.  Crop emergence was impeded in the Northern States   
by the extreme hot, dry winds that crusted the topsoil.  Heavy downpours in the 
mid-Atlantic States brought the fourth consecutive week of above-normal         
rainfall, creating ideal conditions for fungus and mold.  Lodging in small      
grain fields and drowning of tobacco, cotton, and soybean fields was reported   
in North Carolina.  Many fields were flooded in Arkansas, with some soybean     
acreage requiring replanting.  Towards the end of June, very dry soil           
conditions in the Great Lakes slowed corn development, and heat stress curled   
corn leaves.                                                                    
                                                                                
The end of June brought hot, humid weather and persistent showers over most of  
the eastern United States, limiting fieldwork to 2 to 3 days.  North Carolina   
experienced the fifth consecutive week of above-normal rainfall, leaving        
surplus soil moisture supplies and increased problems with fungus and mold.  By 
the end of June, warm weather boosted cotton development in California, but     
cotton squaring, at 30% complete, remained 2 to 3 weeks behind normal. Cotton   
squaring at the end of June was 64% complete, 4 points ahead of the average,    
while cotton setting bolls was 6 points ahead of the average.  Land lost to     
prior flooding in                                                               
                                                                                
                                                                                
the middle Mississippi Valley was replanted.  Some fields were unplanted in the 
northern Great Plains, where the dry, baked topsoil has hampered emergence in   
recently planted fields.  At month's end, the Kansas winter wheat harvest was   
51 points behind the average due to delays from rainy weather.  Late planted    
corn fields were half of the average height in parts of the Midwest.  Corn      
condition improved at the end of June, due to rainy weather that boosted corn   
development in the Midwest.  Some early matured rice fields in Texas and the    
Delta were prepared for harvest.  By the end of the month, soybean planting was 
close to completion.  Soybeans blooming were ahead of schedule in the Southwest 
but lagged in the Midwest.

Oats:  Total 1995 oat production is forecast at 182 million bushels, down       
       21 percent from last year.  If realized, this would be the lowest oat    
production since records were first kept in 1866.  The forecasted yield, at     
55.9 bushels per acre, is down 1.3 bushels from last season's 57.2 bushels.     
Area harvested and to be harvested, at 3.25 million acres, is down 19 percent   
from the 4.02 million harvested in 1994, and also the least since 1866.         
                                                                                
The Iowa crop has been reduced by excess moisture in most areas of the State.   
High temperatures during the heading stage also hurt prospects.  The Minnesota  
crop had a slow start and was hurt by high temperatures during late June.       
South Dakota's acreage was reduced sharply by the wet spring and is very late.

Barley:  Barley production is forecast at 379 million bushels, as of July 1,    
         1995.  This production, if realized, would be 1 percent above the 1994 
production of 375 million bushels.  Yields are expected to average 59.0 bushels 
per acre, up 2.8 bushels from last year.  Area harvested and to be harvested,   
at 6.42 million acres, is 4 percent below the 6.67 million acres harvested last 
year.                                                                           
                                                                                
The yield decline from last year in North Dakota was more than offset by the    
increase in Montana.  Cool, wet weather in Montana provided good opportunities  
for high yields.  Well above normal precipitation in Idaho has enhanced yield   
potential.

Durum Wheat:  The first full durum production forecast for 1995 is 112 million  
              bushels, up 15 percent from 1994.  This will be the largest durum 
production since 1990.  Yields are forecast at 35.0 bushels per acre, off a     
half bushel from last year.  Harvested area, at 3.21 million acres, is up       
17 percent from 1994.                                                           
                                                                                
Durum harvest in California's Imperial Valley finished in late June; the San    
Joaquin area harvest is nearly complete.  Greater than expected frost damage    
took another 2 bushels off of Arizona's June 1 yield.  Hot, dry June conditions 
pushed North Dakota's late planted durum; however, development is still about   
2 weeks behind average.  As of July 2, only 3 percent of the crop was headed    
compared to 21 percent last year.  Condition ratings are 4 percent poor,        
28 fair, and 68 good to excellent.

Tobacco:  The first flue-cured production forecast for this season is           
          825 million pounds, down 5 percent from the 1994 production.  Yield   
per acre for all flue-cured is forecast at 2,088 pounds, 332 pounds below the   
1994 average yield.  Acres for harvest, at 395,000 acres, are up 10 percent     
from last year.                                                                 
                                                                                
Drought conditions in early spring gave way to heavy rains that have made weed  
and disease control difficult across the Flue-belt.  North Carolina's crop is   
down 10 percent from last year, due to heavy rains that have drowned out many   
fields and increased problems with Blue mold.  In North Carolina, 30 percent of 
the tobacco crop is reported in good to excellent condition, compared to        
84 percent at this time last year.                                              
                                                                                
Setting tobacco plants got off to a late start in Georgia because of a shortage 
of transplants.  The tobacco harvest was active in Florida and was 17 percent   
complete in Georgia.  Heavy rains slowed fieldwork in South Carolina where      
49 percent of the tobacco was topped compared to an average of 69 percent.

Peaches:  U.S. production is forecast at 2.49 billion pounds, down 1 percent    
          from 1994 and 6 percent below 1993.  Excluding California Clingstone  
peaches, the U.S. crop is forecast at 1.55 billion pounds, up 12 percent from   
last year but down 1 percent from 1993.                                         
                                                                                
The California Clingstone crop, at 940 million pounds, is unchanged from June 1 
and 17 percent below 1994 production.  Freestone production of 540 million      
pounds is also unchanged from June 1, but 15 percent less than last year.       
Peach harvest is in full swing.  Hail storms in late-May and mid-June caused    
localized damage in the Fresno-Kingsburg area.  Hail damage and disease also    
affected fruit quality but Freestones and Clingstones are showing good fruit    
size.                                                                           
                                                                                
South Carolina's peach forecast of 255 million pounds is up 6 percent from June 
1 and 2 percent above last year.  Conditions have been favorable and harvest is 
progressing well.  Recent rains improved fruit size and quality, especially in  
the late-maturing varieties.                                                    
                                                                                
The Georgia peach crop, at 160 million pounds, is unchanged from June 1.        
Harvest is ahead of normal, with over three-quarters of the crop harvested.     
Beneficial rains during June improved size.                                     
                                                                                
Larger peach crops are expected in all the remaining states except Colorado,    
Idaho, Oregon, and Utah.  The Oregon peach crop was cut-back by poor            
pollination, while a late freeze and frost damage reduced crop potential in     
Colorado, Idaho, and Utah.  The U.S. peach crop in mostly good condition with   
no serious insect or disease problems.

Grapes:  All grape production for California is forecast at 5.14 million tons,  
         down 2 percent from a year ago and down 5 percent from 1993.           
                                                                                
Raisin type varieties are forecast at 2.20 million tons, down 8 percent from    
the 2.39 million tons produced last year.  Rain and hail in mid-June damaged    
vineyards in Fresno County.  While recent hot weather has helped maturity, high 
temperatures caused burn damage in some bunches.  Approximately 20,000 acres    
are in the Raisin Industry Diversion (RID) program for 1995.                    
                                                                                
                                                                                
Table type grape production is forecast at 640,000 tons, 6 percent above 1994.  
Picking is nearly complete in the Coachella Valley and just beginning in the    
San Joaquin Valley.  Good quality is reported.                                  
                                                                                
The wine type varieties are expected to produce 2.30 million tons, a two        
percent increase over last year.  Disease problems are minor with maturity      
progressing well.

Apricots:  The final forecast for the 1995 apricot crop is 67,500 tons, down    
           57 percent from last year's crop.                                    
                                                                                
The California apricot forecast plummeted to 60,000 tons, down 14 percent from  
June and 60 percent below 1994.  Growers reported quality problems from         
excessive rains and harsh temperatures during June.  The bad weather combined   
with stress from last year's heavy crop, low fruit set, and poor growing        
conditions throughout the season led to the reduced 1995 crop.  A spring freeze 
and snow storm destroyed virtually all of Utah's commercial apricot crop for    
1995.  No significant production is expected this year.

Walnuts:  The 1995 California walnut production forecast is 245,000 tons, up    
          6 percent from last year.  Bloom was late this year; therefore,       
orchards were not affected by the spring storms.  Good nut sets have been       
reported in the San Joaquin Valley and on early varieties, in general.  Blight  
is now a concern as wet ground made it difficult for farmers to treat orchards.

Almonds:  California's 1995 almond production is forecast at 310 million meat   
          pounds, down 28 percent from the May forecast and down 58 percent     
from last year's record high.  Bearing acreage is revised to 390,000 acres.     
Production from the Nonpareil variety, which represents 52 percent of the       
total, is forecast at 160 million meat pounds, down 55 percent from last        
season.                                                                         
                                                                                
The average nut set per tree is 3,792, down 54 percent from 1994.  The          
Nonpareil average nut set at 3,851 represents a 51 percent decrease from a year 
ago.  The average kernel weight for all varieties sampled was 1.91, up          
17 percent from last year.  A total of 95.4 percent of the nuts sampled were    
sound.                                                                          
                                                                                
Warm winter temperatures led to an early bloom period this year.  Heavy rain    
and high winds during the bloom resulted in bloom loss and pollination          
problems.  Tree conditions and nut sets vary within the orchards while nut      
sizes range from normal to large.  Crop development is behind normal due to the 
cool, wet weather in March.

Grapefruit:  The final forecast for the 1994-95 U.S. grapefruit production is   
             2.90 million tons, up 9 percent from last season but down slightly 
from last month.                                                                
                                                                                
Florida's grapefruit forecast is 55.7 million boxes (2.37 million tons), up     
9 percent from 1993-94 but down slightly from June.  White seedless production  
                                                                                
                                                                                
remained unchanged from last month at 25.7 million boxes (1.09 million tons).   
Colored seedless  production decreased from 28.8 million boxes to 28.7 million  
boxes (1.22 million tons). Seedy varieties remained at 1.30 million boxes       
(55,000 tons).  Most grapefruit harvest ended by the first of June.             
                                                                                
California's forecast for Desert Valley grapefruit, carried forward from April  
1, is 3.30 million boxes (111,000 tons).  The forecast for Other Areas, at      
6.00 million boxes is unchanged from April but 3 percent above last year. Some  
scarring and sunburn exist but overall quality is good.  Condition is also good 
with only minimal amounts of decay at the packinghouse.  A full range of sizes  
are available.

         2 percent from last quarter and down 7 percent from the 1993-94 crop.  
                                                                                
The California lemon forecast remains unchanged from April at 20.5 million      
boxes (779,000 tons) but 1 percent below last year.  District I export grades   
looked good and domestic grades looked fair.  Grade defects were scar, tip      
injuries, and picking injuries.  District II lemons had a fair amount of green  
on some lots.  Sizes  were satisfactory.                                        
                                                                                
Arizona's lemon forecast dropped 10 percent from last quarter to 3.60 million   
boxes (137,000 tons).  The crop will be down 31 percent from a year ago.        
Quantity and size of fruit were down and there were problems with heart rot die 
back in older trees.

Florida Citrus:  Citrus groves, trees, and new crop fruit are in very good      
                 condition.  Adequate moisture came during June except for      
Hurricane Allison which dumped excessive amounts in  southern and western       
citrus counties.  The heavy rains did not cause appreciable damage as most      
groves needed rain when the storm passed.  New crop fruit is in good condition  
with normal sizes.  An abundance of new growth exists on trees of all ages      
especially in well managed groves.  Caretakers completed post-bloom nutritional 
spraying and started summer spraying schedules.  Fertilizers were applied in    
all areas.  Some growers put down a second herbicide application to reduce      
rapid weed growth generated by summer rains.  Valencia orange harvest ended the 
last week of June.  All major processing  plants and packing houses closed for  
the season.  A few fresh squeeze juice operations were still running and will   
receive limited amounts of late oranges through most of the summer. Grapefruit  
harvest ended for all practical purposes the first of June.  A few gift fruit   
packers still moved some fruit and one or two fresh squeeze plants received     
very small amounts of juice fruit until the middle of June.

California Fruits and Nuts:  Grape growers thinned and irrigated vineyards as   
                             well as treated for mildew and insects.  Table     
grapes harvest was underway in the Coachella Valley and Tulare County but       
development was slow in the Central Valley.  Stone fruit harvest continued in   
the Central Valley.  Orchards were treated for coddling moth, peach twig borer, 
                                                                                
                                                                                
brown rot, and mites.  A severe hail storm in Fresno and Tulare Counties on     
June 15 heavily damaged peaches, plums, nectarines, and grapes.  Cherry harvest 
ended in the state yielding a very short crop.  Strawberries, boysenberries,    
and blueberries were harvested in the Central Valley.  Thinning of apple        
orchards took place along with fungicide treatments.  Almond and walnut         
orchards were disced and irrigated.  Walnuts were sprayed for blight, husk fly, 
and coddling moth.  Almonds were sprayed for Navel orange worm.

California Citrus:  Navel orange harvest was complete by early June.  Fruit     
                    condition suffered during the season from wet weather with  
heavy puff, crease, rind breakdown, and pitting reported.  Picking of the

season, acreage planted is down 1 percent for winter potatoes, down 3 percent   
for spring, down 24 percent for summer (due to including all Michigan and       
Minnesota acreage in the fall season), and up 1 percent for the fall crop.

Fall Potatoes:  The Minnesota and Michigan crops have been moved from the       
                summer category to the fall catergory to more properly reflect  
their use.  The effect of this shift is a record high planted acreage of        
1.22 million acres, up 1 percent from last year and 3 percent above 1993.       
Harvest is expected from 1.20 million acres, 2 percent above last year and      
6 percent above 1993.  Without Michigan and Minnesota figures, acreage for      
harvest would be down slightly.                                                 
                                                                                
Most fall potatoes started late across the U.S. with cool weather, rain, and    
planting delays.  Warm days in the last half of June helped the crop catch up,  
but in many States is still behind normal and well behind last year's early     
crop.  Fields in southern and eastern valleys of Idaho were hit hard by frost   
in early June.  Foliage was burnt back to the ground but plants recovered with  
secondary growth.  The crop is now 2-3 weeks behind last year and a week or so  
behind normal.  Washington growers finished planting two weeks behind last      
year.  Harvesting early fields started in July, a week late.  In California,    
planting wrapped up by mid-June, 10 days late.  Oregon growers were also late   
but water supplies are adequate this year.  Blight is showing up in the         
Columbia and

Across the Northern and Mid-Western States, wet soils kept farmers out of the   
fields early but warm and hot periods later helped planting get done.  North    
Dakota and Wisconsin soils were almost dry by July as potato growth caught up   
to normal. Michigan farmers have been irrigating.  Maine finished planting      
early but dry soils are now a concern.  New York is also dry.                   
                                                                                
Eastern plantings are estimated at 128,200 acres, down 2 percent from last year 
and 4 percent below 1993.  Maine continued to lose potato acreage with a        
3 percent decline this year.  Pennsylvania plantings were down 5 percent while  
New York gained 3 percent.  Rhode Island's planted area dropped 200 acres but   
was offset by an increase in Massachusetts.                                     
                                                                                
Central growers planted an estimated 374,400 acres of fall potatoes this year,  
including the former summer season acreage in Michigan and Minnesota.  This     
total climbed 7 percent from the last two years.  Michigan's combined acreage   
is up 3 percent, and Minnesota's total gained 2 percent.  Wisconsin's planted   
acreage jumped 10 percent, pushed by processing demand.  North Dakota dropped   
8 percent, South Dakota fell 12 percent, and Ohio dipped 2 percent.  Nebraska   
and Indiana plantings are both up, by 15 and 14 percent, respectively.          
                                                                                
Western growers planted 717,400 acres of fall potatoes in 1995, down 2 percent  
from a year ago but 2 percent above two years ago.  Acreage in Idaho, Montana,  
and New Mexico each fell 2 percent from a year ago.  Washington was down        
3 percent and Oregon dropped 5 percent.  Utah and Wyoming growers planted       
11 and 12 percent, respectively, fewer acres of potatoes.  On the up side,      
Colorado acreage increased 4 percent while California gained 5 percent.         
Nevada's potato acreage remained the same as last year.

Summer Potatoes:  With Michigan and Minnesota estimates moved to the fall       
                  season, production of summer potatoes is forecast at          
16.9 million cwt.  For the comparable states, this is down 2 percent below last 
year but 13 percent above 1993.  Farmers expect to harvest 70,600 acres during  
the summer season, a decrease of 1 percent from a year ago but 1 percent above  
two years ago.                                                                  
                                                                                
The average yield, forecast at 239 cwt per acre, is off 2 cwt in comparable     
states from last year but 25 cwt above 1993.  Planted area of 72,500 acres is   
down 2 percent.                                                                 
                                                                                
Atlantic Coast States are expecting a good summer crop with yields well above   
last year.  Harvest is a little later than last year.  North Carolina harvest   
is about 40 percent completed and the Del-Mar-Va harvest is progressing well.   
Alabama growers reported a good to excellent crop with favorable weather and    
adequate moisture.  Texas growers are into their red crop on the High Plains    
with norgold digging to start in July.  In New Mexico, good weather was         
conducive to a good crop.  Colorado growing weather has been cool and wet with  
hail damage in early June.                                                      
                                                                                
Harvest in the Missouri Southeast is over two-thirds finished, while digging    
has not started in the Northwest.  Recent hot weather helped Iowa and Illinois  
potatoes catch up after a slow, wet start.  Nebraska farmers are anticipating   
slightly lower yields, but acreage is up from last year.  California growers    
report reductions in both acreage and yields.

            Reliability of July 1 Winter Wheat Production Forecast              
                                                                                
Survey Procedures:  Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted    
                    between June 22 and July 3 to gather information on         
expected yield as of July 1.  The objective yield survey was conducted in       
13 States that accounted for 84 percent of the 1994 production.  Plots were     
revisited to make counts and harvest mature samples.  In late fields, counts    
such as number of stalks, heads in late boot, and number of emerged heads were  
made to predict the number of heads that would be harvested.   A 5-year         
historical head weight is used until the crop matures to the point that heads   
can be clipped, threshed, and weighed.  The number of heads times the weight of 
the heads in a sample plot can then be expanded to an estimate of yield per     
acre.  The 5-year average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield.  
The plots are revisited each month until the crop reaches maturity and or       
harvested on the final visit.                                                   
                                                                                
The farm operator survey included a sample of approximately 10,000 winter wheat 
producers representing all major production areas.  These producers were        
selected from an earlier acreage survey and were asked about the probable       
winter wheat yield on their operation.  These growers will be surveyed          
throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields as the   
season progresses.                                                              
                                                                                
                                                                                
Estimating Procedures:  National and State level objective yield and grower     
                        reported indications were reviewed for reasonableness   
and consistency with historical estimates.  The indications were also reviewed  
considering weather patterns and crop progress compared to previous month and   
previous years.  Each State Statistical Office submits their analysis of the    
current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB).  The ASB uses the 
survey indications and the State analysis to prepare the published July 1       
forecasts.                                                                      
                                                                                
                                                                                
Revision Policy:  The July 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead,a 
                  new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing   
season.  End-of-season estimates are made after harvest.  At the end of the     
marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks,         
production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks.  Revisions are then  
made if data relationships warrant changes.                                     
                                                                                
                                                                                
Reliability:  To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the July 1       
              winter wheat production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a 
statistical measure based on past performance is computed.  This is done by     
expressing the deviation between the July 1 production forecast and the final   
estimate as a percentage of the final estimate, and averaging the squared       
percentage deviations for the 1975-1994 20-year period; the square root of the  
average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error."  Probability        
statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current forecast  
relative to the final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting   
this year's forecast are not different from those influencing recent years.     
                                                                                
The "Root Mean Square Error" for the July 1 winter wheat production forecast is 
2.0 percent.  This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current           
production                                                                      
                                                                                
                                                                                
forecast of 1.53 billion bushels will not be above or below the final estimate  
by more than 2.0 percent or approximately 30.6 million bushels.  Chances are    
9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed   
3.5 percent or approximately 53.5 million bushels.  Differences between the     
July 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final estimate during the past  
10 years have averaged 20 million bushels, ranging from 4 million to 61 million 
bushels.  The July 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 3 times and     
above 7 times.  This does not imply that the July 1 winter wheat forecast this  
year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
