Released March 10, 1995, by the Agricultural Statistics Board.  Forecasts
refer to March 1, 1995.

                           Orange Production Unchanged

All orange production remains at 11.6 million tons, unchanged from the previous
forecast but 13 percent above last season.  Production of early, mid, and Navel
varieties decreased, while production of Valencia oranges increased.  Florida's
forecast of early and mid-season varieties decreased by 1 million boxes to
120 million boxes (5.40 million tons), based primarily on reduced  recorded
utilization.  That level is down 1 percent from last month but 12 percent above
last year.  The Florida Valencia forecast increased to 83.0 million boxes
(3.74 million tons), up 1 percent from February and up 24 percent from last
season.  The size of the Valencia fruit is very large and the amount of fruit
dropping continues far below normal.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice yield for the 1994-95 season is
forecast at 1.51 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix.  This forecast is
unchanged from last month but down from last seasons's final yield of
1.57 gallons per box.  The projected yield for early and mid-season varieties is
1.44 gallons per box, down from 1.52 gallons per box last season.  The Valencia
crop is expected to yield 1.63 gallons per box, down from 1.66 gallons per box a
year ago.  The forecast projects the final yield reported by the Florida Citrus
Processors Association.

HDR2012000110110310950830FEB WEATHER SUMMRY NARRATIVE
February Weather Summary:  Like January, February featured a record-setting
                           period of warmth sandwiched between modest cold
spells; below-normal snowfall for the majority of the Plains; and locally heavy
precipitation in the Southwest.  The month was highlighted by a shift to drier-
than-normal weather in northern California; a powerful early-month snow storm in
the Northeast; and a minor-to-moderate freeze in central Florida.

Below-normal temperatures (up to 3 degrees F) were confined to the Northeastern
States.  From the Great Basin into the Plains, monthly temperatures averaged
5 to 10 degrees F above normal.  February records for warmth were established at
several observation sites:

   Location                Avg. Temp. (degrees F)           Former Record/Year
-------------------        ----------------------           ------------------
Los Angeles, CA                    65.3                       64.6 in 1980
Las Vegas, NV                      58.6                       55.9 in 1991
Reno, NV                           46.0                       45.4 in 1907
Grand Junction, CO                 43.4 tied                  43.4 in 1907
Ely, NV                            37.9                       36.8 in 1963

In addition, it was the second warmest February on record in Winslow, AZ, and
Lompoc, CA.

Despite a relatively low number of heavy-precipitation days in the Southwest
(February 13-14) and the Southeast (February 15-17 and 27-28), monthly totals
were generally above normal.  In contrast, precipitation was less than 25 per-
cent of normal in northern California, the upper Midwest, and parts of the
Plains.  Only 0.19 inches of rain fell in Sacramento, CA, the fifth-lowest
February total on record.  A mere 0.04 inches fell in Oklahoma City, OK, their
third-driest February.  Madison, WI, observed its driest (0.06 inches), fourth
least-snowy (0.7 inches) February.  Negligible snow also fell in locations such
as Dubuque, IA (0.5 inches), Concordia, KS (0.6 inches), and Missoula, MT
(0.9 inches).

Snowfall in the North-Central and Central States was most prevalent on
February 12-14 and again at month's end, in tandem with the month's Arctic
outbreaks.  Enough snow fell in Cheyenne, WY (23.3 inches) to set a February
record and more than double their season-to-date accumulation.  Farther east,
the unusually ice-free Great Lakes contributed to above-normal monthly snow
totals in South Bend, IN (25.8 inches) and Rochester, NY (23.6 inches).  In the
Northeast, the season's first widespread snow storm struck on February 4-5,
dumping the majority of the month's powder.  In the storm's wake, a series of
high-pressure systems moved southeastward, culminating in a freeze into central
Florida on February 9.  Some spring crops were damaged and subsequently
replanted.  Farther west, winter wheat broke dormancy by February 25 as far
north as the central Plains, the result of a week-long warm spell.  Cold air
returned as March began, preceded and accompanied by snowfall that provided
wheat with insulation and beneficial moisture.

In Alaska, above-normal temperatures prevailed except during the week
(February 19-25) that the Lower 48 was in the midst of its warm spell.  Monthly
temperatures averaged 6 to 8 degrees F above normal across central and western
areas.  Precipitation was above normal in the south and west, continuing


winter's trend.  In fact, by month's end, seasonal snowfall reached 107.5 inches
in Nome, breaking the 1931-32 record.

In Hawaii, the islands of Kauai and Oahu received significant drought relief.
Both Lihue and Honolulu recorded more than 5 inches of rain, breaking 4- to
5-month dry spells.  However, dryness persisted at Kahului, Maui (winter-long
drought), and Hilo, (3-month dry spell).

HDR2012000110110310950830GEN'L CRP COMMENTS NARRATIVE
General Crop Comments:  February began with rain in northern California that
                        left standing water in low-lying fields, resulting in
yellowing of small grains.  Rain along the northern Pacific Coast saturated
small grain fields and hampered fieldwork.  In early February, mild weather
allowed Texas wheat producers to apply fertilizer and top-dress wheat fields.
Snow, sleet, and rain in the Midwest early in the month produced wet conditions
that limited field activities, while the south-central Great Plains enjoyed mild
weather.  February began with less-than-adequate snow cover in Montana and
Wyoming.  North Dakota's snow cover was adequate to protect the wheat crop but
was below last year's snow cover.  Spring-like weather in mid-February in the
Northwestern States stimulated fruit tree buds to swell and raised the possi-
bility for freeze damage.  By mid-month, dryland wheat fields in the Texas
Plains remained in critical need of moisture.  Surplus soil moisture across the
Southeastern States delayed land preparation and nitrogen application to wheat
fields.  Snowfall from the High Plains to the Midwest protected winter wheat
from a mid-month gust of Arctic air.  Toward the end of the month, rains and wet
soils delayed fieldwork in California, where flood damage to wheat fields became
evident as waters receded.  In the Southwestern States, the small grains were
established and over half of the wheat fields were jointing.  Mild weather in
the lower Mississippi Valley and the Midwest let early fieldwork begin, while
snow melting in Kansas benefited the small grains.  By the end of February,
wheat broke dormancy and was greening from the southern to the central Great
Plains.  At month's end, temperatures well above normal depleted most of the
snow cover in the Northern States.  In the Midwest, the warm weather and lack of
significant precipitation allowed farmers to begin tilling and topdressing small
grains.  Irrigation of small grains in Texas continued whereas most dryland
fields showed little growth and remained in need of moisture.  Overall, the mild
weather during the month improved the wheat across the Nation, with wheat
condition generally reported as mostly good to fair.

HDR2012000110110310950830CITRUS NARRATIVES
Grapefruit:  The March 1 forecast of the 1994-95 U.S. grapefruit crop
             (excluding California's "Other Areas") is 2.68 million tons, down
slightly from last month but up 9 percent from last season.  Last year,
California's "Other Areas" produced 194,000 tons (5.80 million boxes).  The
first forecast for that type of grapefruit will be April 1, 1995.

Florida's grapefruit forecast is 55.0 million boxes (2.34 million tons), down
1 percent from the February 1 forecast but up 8 percent from last season.  This
month's decline came from a drop in the seedy variety from 1.50 million boxes
last month to 1.00 million boxes (43,000 tons).  Utilization has been as strong
as expected.  The white seedless variety remained at 25.0 million boxes
(1.06 million tons) as did the colored seedless at 29.0 million boxes
(1.23 million tons).


The Texas grapefruit forecast increased to 4.30 million boxes (172,000 tons), up
8 percent from last month and 43 percent more  than last season.  The forecast
for California desert grapefruit is carried forward from January 1, at 3.40 mil-
lion boxes (114,000 tons), up 3 percent from last season.  The Arizona grape-
fruit forecast is also carried forward at 1.60 million boxes (54,000 tons), down
9 percent from last season.

Tangelos:  The Florida tangelo forecast remained 3.20 million boxes
           (144,000 tons), unchanged from last month but 4 percent smaller than
last year.  Movement of tangelos is almost complete for the season with nearly
3.00 million boxes utilized.

Tangerines:  The 1994-95 tangerine crop is forecast at 278,000 tons, unchanged
             from February and 13 percent less than last season.  The Florida
tangerine forecast is 3.50 million boxes (166,000 tons), unchanged from last
month but down 15 percent from last year.  More than 800,000 boxes of Florida's
honey tangerines were picked, with movement continuing at a steady pace.
Harvest of all other Florida tangerines ended for this season.  The California
tangerine forecast was carried forward from January at 2.30 million boxes
(86,000 tons) and the Arizona forecast was carried forward at 700,000 boxes
(26,000 tons).

Temples:  The March 1 forecast for the 1994-95 Florida Temple production was
          unchanged from February at 2.60 million boxes (117,000 tons),
16 percent above last season's production.  Harvest was active in February.
Slightly more than 2.20 million boxes were used to date.

HDR2012000110110310950830FL CITRUS NARRATIVE
Florida Citrus:  Most of Florida's citrus groves were in good condition in
                 February.  The month was drier than average with two or more
mornings of freezing temperatures and frost.  The cold weather caused little
tree damage.  Some leaf burn occurred in cold pockets and lowlands but was
insignificant on an industry basis.  By the end of February, there was an
abundance of swelling bloom buds with a few open flowers.  Harvesting of early
and midseason oranges slowed during February as supplies shrank by the end of
the month with almost 113 million boxes certified.  Valencia utilization for
fresh and processing totaled almost 4.00 million boxes at the end of the month.
Movement of all grapefruit increased with almost 32.0 million boxes used.

HDR2012000110110310950830TX CITRUS NARRATIVE
Texas Citrus:  Harvesting of early and midseason oranges was virtually complete
               with the harvest of Valencias getting underway.  Grapefruit
harvest progressed without delay and passed the halfway point.  In spite of good
fruit quality, markets remained depressed.  Some insect problems existed in
parts of the Valley.



HDR2012000110110310950830CA FRUIT & NUTS NARRATIVE
California Fruit and Nuts:  The Central Valley experienced an extremely foggy
                            February following January's wet weather.  Little
rain fell and temperatures were warmer than normal throughout the month.
Activities included orchard and vineyard pruning, brush shredding, and vine
tying.  Dormant sprays were applied aerially, in some places because of
saturated soil.  Early grapes showed signs of budding and leafing out.  Bees
were moved into almond orchards for pollination.  By the end of the month,
almond bloom was nearly complete.  Early variety peaches, prunes, apricots, and
nectarines also bloomed.  Growers sprayed stone fruit for blossom rot.  Apples
were packed from cold storage.  The avocado harvest continued.  Preparations
continued for spring strawberry picking but production remained slow.

HDR2012000110110310950830CA CITRUS NARRATIVE
California Citrus:  Citrus growers harvested navel oranges and lemons for the
                    domestic and export markets.  The Navel orange grade-out
increased as the end of the month neared.  The Valencia orange harvest started
and the desert grapefruit harvest continued.

HDR2012000110110310950830PAPAYAS NARRATIVE
Papayas:  Hawaii fresh papaya production is estimated at 3.72 million pounds for
          February, 7 percent lower than January and 9 percent lower than a year
ago.

Weather conditions during February were variable with only light showers over
major papaya producing areas.  Soil moisture levels are low.  The majority of
papaya orchards are not irrigated and need moisture to avoid adverse effects in
the future.

Area devoted to papaya production totaled 3,660 acres, 1 percent more than
January and 10 percent more than a year ago.  Harvested area, totaling
2,395 acres, was 2 percent more than both last month and last February.

Changes to the Hawaii papaya table reflect the end of monthly papaya forecasts.
This resulted from elimination of Hawaii State and Papaya Industry funding for
the objective measurement survey which provided data for the forecast.

HDR2012000110110310950830SUGARCANE NARRATIVE
Sugarcane:  Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 1994 is estimated at
            a record high of 31.8 million tons.  This is unchanged from the
February "Crop Production" report but represents a 2 percent increase from last
year's output.  The Florida forecast was evaluated and resulted in no change to
production.  Cold temperatures in Florida for early February did not affect the
sugarcane yields.  The delays early in the season did not slow the harvest as
much as anticipated and the mills are expected to close on time this year.  The
forecast from Hawaii, Louisiana, and Texas were carried forward from an earlier
forecast.
