          Processing Vegetable Production Down 2 Percent From Last Year         
                  Tomato Production Continues at a Record Pace                  
                                                                                
Processing vegetable production for the 4 major crops on contract is forecast at
16.2 million tons, down 2 percent from 1994  but 22 percent greater than the    
1993 total.  Record tomato production was more than offset by declines in sweet 
corn and snap bean production.  Forecast production of tomatoes at 11.6 million 
tons is 2 percent greater than last year, and if realized would be a record     
high.  Sweet corn production, estimated at 3.38 million tons was 9 percent less 
than 1994.  Snap bean production is predicted to be 12 percent less than in     
1994, and green pea production was forecast as being up 1 percent from last     
year.  Acreage for harvest, at 1.35 million acres was down slightly from last   
year.

Storage onion production (excluding California) is forecast at 34.2 million cwt,
down 3 percent from 1994 but 11 percent above 1993.  Total annual production of 
onions is  forecast at 60.5 million cwt, down 3 percent from last year but      
6 percent above two years ago.

Snap Beans:  Processors expect to harvest 678,540 tons of snap beans, down      
             12 percent from last year, but up 19 percent from the contracted   
production in 1993.  The decrease in production was due to a 3 percent decrease 
in harvested acres and a .33 ton per acre decrease in contracted yields from    
1994.  Wisconsin's crop suffered from extreme heat early in the growing season, 
and excess rain caused problems late in the season.  In the North, white mold   
problems were extensive. A larger than normal number of unharvested acres were  
expected.  Excessive heat in Minnesota stressed the crop and reduced yield      
prospects.  Yields in Michigan were variable with white mold causing some acres 
to be abandoned.  In New York, early rains and irrigation with stable water     
supplies lead to above average yields, and their largest crop in the past 10    
years.  Hot, dry conditions caused some acreage to be bypassed in New Jersey.   
The wet spring caused no major problems for the crop in California.  Overall    
crop condition was rated good.                                                  
                                                                                
Sweet Corn:  Expected sweet corn production is estimated at 3.38 million tons,  
             down 9 percent from 1994 but 24 percent greater than contracted    
production in 1993.  The decreased production was due to a 4 percent decrease in
harvested acreage and a .38 ton per acre decrease in yield from 1994.  A 12     
percent increase in acreage and a .30 ton per acre increase in yield allowed    
Washington to produce a record crop, and the largest in the Nation.  In         
Wisconsin, yields were variable, with the hot weather reducing the growing      
season by up to two weeks in some areas.  Excessive heat reduced yield prospects
in Minnesota and New York.  Hot conditions have accelerated crop development in 
New Jersey, but the crop condition remained good.  The crop in Delaware was     
planted early and escaped much of the stress caused by excessive heat.  Harvest 
was near completion and yields were good.                                       
                                                                                
Tomatoes:  Tomato production is forecast at a record high 11.6 million tons, up 
           2 percent from last year and 21 percent greater than contracted      
production in 1993.  A 5 percent increase in harvested acreage offset a         
1.13 tons per acre decrease in yield.  The 1995 California processing tomato    
production is forecast at 10.9 million tons, an increase of 3 percent over 1994.
 Yields in northern California were below average while yields in the south and 
central areas have been average.  Split sets and bacterial speck have not been  
problems this year.  In Michigan, a warm, wet August caused some harvesting     
problems.

Onions:  Annual production of onions (including all seasons) is forecast at     
         60.5 million cwt, down 3 percent from last year.  Acreage for harvest  
is estimated at 158,110 acres, down 1 percent while the yield per acre of       
383 cwt is down 11 cwt.                                                         
                                                                                
Storage onions:  Production of summer storage onions (excluding California) is  
                 forecast at 34.2 million cwt, down 3 percent from last year but
11 percent above two years ago.  Harvested area is estimated at 82,810 acres, a 
3 percent gain from last year, but the average forecast yield of 413 cwt per    
acre is down 25 cwt.  In eastern Oregon and Idaho, plantings were delayed about 
two weeks due to wet weather. The late plantings and below normal growing degree
days have resulted in a smaller crop than last year. As of September 3, only    
7 percent of Idaho's crop had been harvested, compared to a five-year average of
30 percent.  In Washington, the harvest was delayed one to two weeks by cool    
weather early in the growing season.  Onion size was reported smaller than      
normal.  Cool weather also delayed plantings about one week in Utah, but onion  
size should be larger than last year.  Wet conditions reduced planted acreage   
and harvested acreage in Minnesota, and yield prospects have been reduced by the
extreme heat.  Excessive heat hurt some fields in Wisconsin while yields were   
hurt in other fields by excessive rainfall.  Insect pressure to the crop was    
aided by the hot, wet conditions.  In Michigan, harvest was just getting        
started.  Heavy rains in some areas and very hot and humid weather has not been 
good for yields.  Quality is good but size is average.                          
                                                                                
California production is forecast at 11.2 million cwt, down 10 percent from last
year.  Area for harvest, at 28,000 acres, is also down 10 percent while yields, 
forecast at 400 cwt per acre, are unchanged from last year.  Growing conditions 
were improved over the previous year.  Growth appears normal with few pest      
problems. Harvest has gotten off to a good start.                               
                                                                                
Spring onions:  The season end report of spring onions places production at     
                10.1 million cwt, down 2 percent from last year but 23 percent  
above 1993.  Acreage harvested was up 1 percent from last year but yields were  
down 7 cwt per acre.  The 1995 spring onion crop was valued at $191 million, up 
60 percent from last year.  Good growing conditions in California and Georgia   
produced a crop with good quality and size.
