Corn Production Down 20 Percent Corn production is forecast at 8.12 billion bushels, down 20 percent from the record high production of 1994. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 125.6 bushels per acre, down 13.0 bushels from last year. Acreage for harvest, at 64.7 million acres, is down 1 percent from the June "Acreage" estimate and 11 percent below the 1994 final harvested acreage. All cotton production is forecast at a record high 21.8 million bales, up 11 percent from last year. Crop potential in the Western States was diminished by winds, cool temperatures, and rainfall early in the season. Yield is indicated at 663 pounds, down 45 pounds from last year's record high yield of 708 pounds. Producers planted the largest acreage since 1956, 16.7 million acres, up 21 percent from 1994, and harvested acreage is estimated at 15.8 million acres, the highest level since 1955. The first soybean production forecast of the 1995 crop is 2.25 billion bushels, down 12 percent from the record high of 1994 but up 20 percent from 1993. Yield is expected to be 36.4 bushels per acre, down 5.5 bushels from the record in 1994, but up 3.8 bushels from 1993. Area to be harvested, at 61.7 million acres, is down 530,000 acres from June but up 587,000 acres from 1994. The planting date in the major producing States lagged behind 1994 and the average. In the same area, plant maturity was behind last year and the average. The average number of lateral branches was down from 1994 but even with the average. The forecasted average number of pods was down from 1994. By the end of the first week of August the percent of soybeans blooming and the percent setting pods were behind last year and the five-year average. Soybeans were rated in fair to good condition across the major producing States. *************** Special Note The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) intensified survey efforts in 9 States (IL, IA, KS, ND, SD, NE, MO, IN, & OH) to verify planting and harvesting intentions that were reported during the June survey period. A summary of the revised estimated acres planted and to be harvested is included on page A-40 of this report. Index and report features are located at the end of this report. Cr Pr 2-2 (8-95) All Wheat: Production is forecast at 2.23 billion bushels, up 2 percent from July 1, but 4 percent less than in 1994. Yields are now expected to average 36.6 per acre, up 0.7 bushels from a month ago. Winter Wheat: Production is forecast at 1.55 billion bushels, up 1 percent from July but 7 percent less than the 1994 production. The yield forecast is 37.6 bushels per acre, up 0.6 bushels from last month. Grain area was unchanged. Harvested yields were better than expected for major Soft Red Winter States. Farmers are reporting high yields in Colorado and the Nebraska Panhandle. Prospects for better than expected yields exist in Montana and the Pacific Northwest. Other Spring Wheat: Production is forecast at 561 million bushels, 3 percent more than last month but slightly lower than last year. Improved yield prospects in the Dakota's and the Pacific Northwest have yields at 34.4 bushels per acre, up 1.2 bushels from last month's forecast. Estimated acreage in North Dakota is down 100,000 acres from the previous estimate.

The surveys indicated that 11 percent of the estimated 72.0 million acres of corn had not been planted at the time of the interview and 48 percent of the estimated 63.1 million acres of soybeans had not been planted. Most of these unplanted acres were in 9 State which were subsequently targeted for an acreage update survey conducted in late July and early August. In the 9 States, all farms that had reported planting intentions for corn, soybeans, and sorghum in the area frame survey were recontacted to determine wha was actually planted. In addition, the objective measurement surveys for corn and soybeans and the monthly agricultural yield surveys, conducted between July 22 and August 4, were augmented to provide additional measures of planted and harvested acreages.

In terms of agriculture, the most serious conditions encompassed the western Corn Belt, where highs on July 12-13 soared as high as 110 degrees F. Ironically, planting delays from spring wetness left corn development far behind normal in the hottest areas. Soybeans, however, appeared more vulnerable with a larger percentage of the crop in reproduction by mid-July. Soothing rain arrived after mid-month in many areas of the Corn Belt, but serious topsoil- moisture shortages persisted in an area centered on eastern Nebraska. Although heat (95 to 100 degrees F) again stressed crops in the western Corn Belt on July 27-29, the remainder of the Midwest enjoyed favorable temperatures and widespread, but variable, rainfall. Nearly continuous heat and scant rainfall described the month's weather in a bel from the central Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley and Middle Atlantic region. The month ended with record-setting streaks of 90-degree heat in progress in Baltimore, MD (25 days, from July 12 - August 5; formerly 21 days, from July 29 - August 18, 1988), Richmond, VA (27 days, from July 11 - August 6; formerly 19 days, from July 3 - 21, 1993), and Raleigh, NC (24 days, from July 14 - August 6; formerly 19 days, from July 4 - 22, 1977). In addition, Philadelphia, PA attained the 90-degree mark 21 times, tying their mark set in 1988, and experienced their second-hottest July (81.5 degrees F), behind only 1994. It was the hottest July on record in Baltimore (81.5 degrees F), surpassing 1955. Several locations observed their driest July on record, including Toledo, OH (0.34 inches), Bristol, TN (0.67 inches), and Knoxville, TN (0.33 inches). Dryness also prevailed in the Southwest, where the summer "wet- season" rains failed to materialize. July rainfall was more than 2 inches below normal in Arizona at Flagstaff and Prescott. With hot weather and little rainfall, drought intensified in the New Mexico Plains and areas of Texas adjacent to Mexico. At month's end, however, Tropical Storm Dean made landfall near Galveston, TX, spreading beneficial heavy rainfall inland as far as the Texas-New Mexico border and easing topsoil-moisture shortages in northern Texas. The second half of July featured drought-easing rains in parts of the Northeast, though long-term moisture deficits persisted. Elsewhere across the North, the same jet-stream energy that--with the exception of 1 week--kept heat at bay across the Midwest also delivered above-normal precipitation. Nearly 9 inches of rain pelted Grand Forks, ND during the month. Cold fronts driven southward by jet-stream fluctuations supplied above-normal moisture to parts of the centra Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. Cool air in the wake of frontal passages held temperatures as much as 4 degrees F below normal from the Great Basin to th central High Plains. Elsewhere, the Florida Peninsula spent much of the month underneath a sub-tropical moisture, contributing to heavy rainfall and some flooding. HDR2012000110120811950830GEN'L CRP COMMENTS General Crop Comments: Hot summer weather prevailed over most of the Central States during July with record-breaking temperatures stressing crops and depleting soil moisture supplies. July started with abundan soil moisture except for the Southeast, but soil moisture was short by the end of the month. Late-planted row crops in the Midwest entered the pollination stage after the heat-wave arrived. Crop development started July behind the average and, despite significant progress due to the warm weather, finished the month behind normal. The month concluded with heavy rains from two tropical storm systems bringing much-needed moisture to the Central and Eastern States. Early July began with hot, humid weather and persistent showers over most of the Eastern United States, limiting fieldwork. The rainfall slowed the small grain harvest but boosted row crop growth in the Midwest. The wet field conditions prevented farmers from spraying or cultivating fields, resulting in insect and weed problems. Some fields remained unplanted in the northern Great Plains, where the dry, baked topsoil hampered emergence. The record-breaking heat wave that started in the central Plains and crossed the Nation early in July stressed row crops. High temperatures across the Corn Belt raised concern for fields beginning to tassel and silk. Midwestern States started July with adequate soil moisture that sustained the crops through some of the hottest weather in years. Late-planted row crops with shallow roots were adversely affected by the high temperatures. The hot, dry weather rapidly ripened small grains and spurred the wheat harvest. Cool weather in the Western States slowed crop development. Mid-July brought hot weather across the southern half of the Nation, further depleting soil moisture levels and lowering crop condition ratings. In the Corn Belt, hot weather and dry soils were offset by widespread showers and cooler weather that brought relief to some areas. Continued hot weather increased moisture needs, lowering soil moisture levels in the Southeast and forcing producers to irrigate. Row crop development increased significantly as a result of the continued hot weather but remained behind the average for mid-July. Variability of crop growth and development caused by the heat wave raised producers' concern. Favorable weather in the Pacific Northwest allowed harvest activity to make good progress. The month ended with beneficial rains that allowed crops in the central Corn Bel to tolerate the heat. The rain improved crop condition in portions of the Great Plains and Corn Belt, but conditions varied widely as the scattered showers left some dry pockets. Crop progress advanced rapidly but continued to lag behind normal across much of the Midwest. The hot weather accelerated crop development in fields with adequate soil moisture. Continued hot summer weather increased crop moisture needs, lowering soil moisture levels across the Nation. Crops in the Central States were beginning to show signs of heat stress, raising producers' concern for crops in the pollination phase. In the Pacific Northwest favorable weather allowed harvest activity to make good progress. July ended with Tropical Storm Dean bringing much needed-rains to the Texas Coastal region. HDR2012000110120811950830CORN NARRATIVE Corn: Acreage planted to corn is estimated at 71.3 million acres, down 1 percent from the June 1 Acreage Report, and 10 percent below the 1994 planted acreage. Acreage for harvest is estimated at 64.7 million acres, down 1 percent from the June 1, estimate and 11 percent below last year. The August 1, Corn Objective Yield data indicate a record high stalk count for the ten objective yield States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). The forecasted ears per acre from the objective yield models also indicate a record number of ears per acre, but due the lateness of the crop the number of ears could vary more than normal. As of July 30, only 58 percent of the acreage was reported silking in the 17 major corn States, this compares with 89 percent last year and 69 percent for the 1990-4 average. As of July 30, 70 percent of the Iowa corn crop was reported in good to excellen condition compared with 98 percent a year earlier. Only 60 percent was reported silking this year compared with 96 percent last year. The Objective Yield model indicate record stalk and ear counts this year. The Illinois corn crop was reported 49 percent good to excellent compared with 84 percent a year earlier. By the end of July 72 percent of the crop was silkin compared to 97 percent a year earlier and a 1990-4 average of 87 percent. The survey indications point to record high stalk and ear populations in Illinois. The Minnesota corn crop is developing well ahead of average, but is also well behind last year. Sixty-five percent of the crop was silking at the end of July compared with 84 percent a year earlier and a 1990-4 average of 45 percent. Early season stalk and ear counts are at record high levels. The Nebraska corn crop was reported 50 percent good to excellent compared with 92 percent last year. Nebraska has been too wet, too dry, and too hot during th current growing season. Model forecasted stalk and ear counts are the lowest since the mid-eighties. HDR2012000110120811950830SORG FOR GRAIN NARRATIVE Sorghum for Grain: The first 1995 production forecast is 539 million bushels, down 18 percent from 1994 but up 1 percent from 1993. Area for grain is forecast at 8.28 million acres, down 8 percent from last year to th lowest level since 1953. The harvested acreage changed from the June "Acreage" report because of reductions based on the July follow-up verification of late planted crops. The U.S. all planted area is now 9.11 million acres, down 7 percent from last year. This is the smallest sorghum planted area since 1929. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are forecast at 65.1 bushels per acre, down 7.9 bushels from last year's record high. Aggregate condition ratings of this year's crop are fair to good as of August 1. Development trails average progress in most States; Texas is the notable exception. Harvest has moved into the Texas Blacklands and is 50 percent complete overall. The South Carolina harvest is underway. Moisture is short in some parts of South Dakota; New Mexico's crop needs rain. Louisiana's sorghum is ripening at a pace equal to last year. Hail damaged some fields in southwest Oklahoma. HDR2012000110120811950830OATS NARRATIVE Oats: Production of oats for 1995 is forecast at 186 million bushels, up 3 percent from July but 19 percent below the 1994 crop. If realized, this would be the lowest oat production since records were first kept in 1866. The forecasted yield, at 57.3 bushels per acre, is up 1.4 bushels from July and 0.1 of a bushel above the 1994 crop. Area for harvest and to be harvested, at 3.25 million acres, is unchanged from July, but is down 19 percent from the 4.02 million acres harvested in 1994, and also the least since 1866. Yields were unchanged in North and South Dakota from last month, but increases are shown in Iowa and Minnesota. HDR2012000110120811950830BARLEY NARRATIVE Barley: Total barley production is forecast at 385 million bushels, up 2 percent from July and 3 percent above the 1994 production of 375 million bushels. Yields are expected to average 59.9 bushels per acre, up 0.9 of a bushel from July and 3.7 bushels above last year. Area harvested and to be harvested, at 6.42 million acres, is 4 percent below th 6.67 million acres harvested a year earlier. Forecasted yields were unchanged in North Dakota, Idaho, and Minnesota, but increased in Montana, South Dakota, and Washington. HDR2012000110120811950830WHEAT NARRATIVES Winter Wheat: Area for grain is 41.3 million acres, unchanged from the July forecast. Harvesting progress picked up in July, reaching 83 percent completion in the 19 major producing States as of July 30. This is just a point behind average. Michigan's harvest is ahead of the normal pace; yields are much better than expected earlier. Northern Indiana's wheat test weights and quality were even better than anticipated. Head numbers in the soft red winter States of Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio were all above average, but only Ohio had above average gross head weights. All seve of the predominant Hard Red Winter wheat States (Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas) have forecast head numbers exceedin average, most at record high levels. Head weights are another matter; Montana forecast is the highest in four years. South Dakota and Texas are the only othe HRW States not having record low head weights. Objective yield forecasts in the Pacific Northwest show above average head counts, ranging from 29 to 44 heads per square foot. Forecast head weight is at record high levels in Idaho and Oregon. Washington's average is the third highest. Durum Wheat: Production for 1995 is forecast at 114 million bushels, up 1 percent from July and 17 percent higher than 1994. Nearly all of the production change from last month is due to a 50,000 acre increase in North Dakota. Both planted and harvested acres were raised as a result of the follow-up verification of late planted crops. The U.S. planted area is now 3.32 million acres; harvested is 3.26 million acres, up 19 percent from 1994. Average yields are once again forecast at 35.0 bushels per acre, down 0.5 bushel from a year ago. The northern Durum crop is rated in mostly good condition; development trails average progress by 2 weeks in some areas. North Dakota's Durum has been rated 70+ percent good to excellent most of July. There, the forecast average number of heads is the lowest since 1989 while the gross head weight forecast is the highest since 1986. Other Spring Wheat: Acreage for grain is now forecast at 16.3 million acres, down 1 percent from July and down 8 percent from 1994. The acreage change is a reduction in North Dakota that resulted from the follow-up survey of late planted crops. Both planted and harvested were reduced 100,000 acres. The U.S. planted number is now 16.7 million acres, 9 percent less than last year. Once again, diseases are present in the Red River Valley, with Minnesota hurt more than neighboring States. Head numbers in Minnesota, are slightly above average, but the forecast weight per head is the lowest since 1988. Montana hea counts are above average; head weight is about average. Forecasted head numbers in the Dakota's are a little above average, while the head weight forecasts are more ordinary. Both Idaho and Washington increased yields by 2.0 bushels per acre. Maturity is about normal for Idaho. Timely rains improved Washington's prospects. HDR2012000110120811950830PEANUTS NARRATIVES Peanuts: Production is forecast at 3.88 billion pounds, down 9 percent from last year's crop but 14 percent above the drought reduced 1993 crop. Harvested area, at 1.54 million acres, is 5 percent below last year. Yields are expected to average 2,512 pounds per acre, 112 pounds below last year but 504 pounds above the 1993 level. Dry conditions have limited development in muc of the commercial peanut belt. August weather will be critical as the crop matures and requires adequate soil moisture. Production in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina) is expected to total 2.28 billion pounds, down 11 percent from last year. Expected acreage for harvest in the Southeast, at 911,500 acres, is 6 percent below 1994. Yields in the four-State area are expected to average 2,506 pounds per acre, 132 pounds below the 1994 level. July brought hot and dr conditions to Georgia, limiting yield prospects and dropping crop potential. An occasional shower kept much of the crop, especially in major parts of the peanut belt, from deteriorating much below a fair rating. Disease and weeds are on the rise. In Alabama, the crop rated at fair to good with short soil moisture reported in about half the producing counties. Leafspot control was good, but insect pressure was high in some areas. The peanut crop in Florida is making good progress. Hurricane Erin caused some flooding when it crossed the western Panhandle on August 3. The flooding should not cause much damage if the fields can dry out. Harvest is expected to begin in late August. South Carolina peanuts steadily improved during July and were rated in good condition. Favorable weather with intermittent showers provided sufficient moisture for adequate crop development. Virginia-North Carolina production is forecast at 663 million pounds, down 15 percent from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 242,000 acres, 1,000 acres less than 1994. Yield per harvested acre, at 2,738 pounds declined 458 pounds from last year. The crop is currently in fair to good condition but is under stress from hot, dry weather. The Southwest crop production (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) is expected to total 931 million pounds, up 1 percent from 918 million pounds last year. If realized, Oklahoma and Texas will set record high yields of 2,700 pounds and 2,300 pounds, respectively. Regional acreage for harvest, at 390,000 acres, fell 4 percent below 1994. Yields are averaging 2,387 pounds, 136 pounds per acre above last year. Above-average rainfall during July provided favorable growing conditions across much of Oklahoma. The New Mexico crop is behind norma development. July temperatures of 100 plus made it almost impossible to keep enough water on the plants. Cooler temperatures followed and slowed growth. Dr conditions in Texas prompted steady irrigation where available. Few disease and insect problems were reported. HDR2012000110120811950830RICE NARRATIVES Rice: Production is forecast at 185 million cwt, 6 percent below 1994 but 19 percent above 1993. This production level, if realized, would be the second highest on record. Acreage is down in all States. Production is up slightly in Texas but is down in every other State. Yield per acre is up in Louisiana and Texas from 1994. Mississippi yield is unchanged from last year. Yield in Arkansas, California, and Missouri decreased from the previous year. Overall, the U.S. yield decreased 10 pounds from 1994. The percent of rice headed is behind 1994 in all States, except Louisiana. However, most States are equal to or above the five-year average. Conditions in Arkansas are similar to last year and the crop is progressing well. Planting in California was later than normal due to the wet winter and spring. Cool weather early in the growing season slowed growth. Until mid to late August the temperature will be important to the rice yield in California. Good weather and little disease has resulted in a Louisiana rice crop condition of mostly good. HDR2012000110120811950830SOYBNS NARRATIVES Soybeans: Growers planted 62.6 million acres of soybeans for the 1995 crop, down 520,000 acres from the June estimate but up 1 percent from 1994. The reductions since June in Illinois, North Dakota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and South Dakota were due to adverse weather conditions at planting time and account for a reduction of 720,000 acres. The largest was a 350,000 acre drop in South Dakota. The decrease is offset by an increase in acreage in Indiana and Nebraska. Area to be harvested, at 61.7 million acres, is down 530,000 acres from June. Reductions in harvested acreage followed decreases in planted acreage. The planting date in the major producing States lagged behind 1994 and the average. In the same area, plant maturity was behind last year and the average. The plant count in Arkansas was one of the largest of the last five years. The average number of lateral branches was down from 1994 but even with the average. Indiana and Ohio were the only two major States to show an increase in the numbe of laterals from 1994. The forecasted average number of pods was down from 1994 By the end of the first week of August the percent of soybeans blooming and the percent setting pods were behind last year and the five-year average. The percen of soybeans blooming lagged 13 points behind last year and 3 points behind the average. The percent of soybeans setting pods were 29 points behind 1994 and 12 points behind the average. Soybeans were rated in fair to good condition across the major producing States. HDR2012000110120811950830COTTON NARRATIVES Cotton: Upland cotton plantings, at 16.5 million acres, are up 21 percent from the previous year. Harvested acreage increased 19 percent to 15.6 million acres. American-Pima planted and harvested acreage increased from 1994 by 13 percent to 190,000 acres and 187,500 acres, respectively. The West Texas crop was subject to sparse rainfall until early August, and stres was evident in some fields. Early season storms in the High Plains forced some replanting as hail, high winds, and some seedling diseases affected the crop. Southern Texas yields suffered from beet armyworm infestations and drought. Defoliation activities continued in the Rio Grande Valley through South Texas in late July. One percent of the crop was harvested at the end of July, compared with 4 percent last year and an average of 2 percent. One-half of the Texas cro was in good to excellent condition at the end of July, the same as in the previous year. Half the crop was setting bolls; only one percent less than normal. Objective yield data indicate Texas has the third lowest number of squares, large bolls, and total fruit since 1985. Small boll counts are the fourth lowest during this same period. The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee) rated their cotton mostly in good to excellent condition. Twenty-two percent of the Arkansas crop was in excellent condition and 27 percent of Tennessee cotton was rated excellent as of late July. Boll development in the region was ahead of the average. Mississippi was 13 percent in front of the average and Tennesse was 19 percent higher than usual. Data from objective yield surveys show large boll counts for Arkansas at their second lowest point since 1985 and small bolls as eighth lowest. Squares are the highest during this time period. Compared with the previous 10 years, Louisiana large and small bolls ranked eighth and seventh, respectively. The number of squares were highest. Mississippi large bolls counts were the third lowest in the past 10 years while small bolls ranked fifth. Squares were the second highest for the same time period. At the end of July, fifty-one percent of Arizona cotton was in good to excellent condition. Persistent cool temperatures hampered development all season. Boll set was 77 percent complete, about 20 points behind last year and the average. Ninety-five percent of the crop in California was in good to excellent condition but, boll set at 90 percent, was 8 percent below the 5-year average. The San Joaquin Valley crop had a late start due to cool temperatures and rainfall in th spring. Although development lagged the average all season, beneficial weather caused good growth during the latter portion of July. Cotton objective yield counts show Arizona with the sixth highest total fruit count since 1985. Arizon large bolls were next to lowest and small bolls were fourth lowest during this period; squares were the highest. California had the lowest count of small and large bolls over the ten year period. Squares ranked third. In Southeastern States (Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina), sparse spring rains caused deteriorating conditions early in the season. Conditions improved in June as Gulf storms provided rainfall. However, conditions worsened again in July, as Alabama showed 12 percent of the crop in poor to fair condition, and 16 percent of the Georgia and North Carolina crops were rated poor to fair. Boll development was ahead of normal in the region, except for South Carolina, which showed boll set at 73 percent, 5 percent behind average. American-Pima production is forecast at 358,000 bales, up 6 percent from 1994. Yield is indicated at 916 pounds per harvested acre, down 58 pounds from last year. All States expect decreased yields, with Texas showing the largest decrease of 142 pounds from one year ago. By early August, the Texas crop was progressing normally after early season setbacks. Arizona pima emergence was hampered by drying winds, cold temperatures, and rainfall. In the San Joaquin Valley similar weather plus lygus and aphid pressure set the crop one to two weeks behind normal development. Hot weather in July aided recovery to some extent. Ginnings totaled 16,650 running bales prior to August 1, compared with 112,900 running bales ginned to the same date last year and 9,450 running bales in 1993. HDR2012000110120811950830DRY ED BNS NARRATIVES Dry Edible Beans: Production of dry beans in 1995 is forecast at 32.1 million cwt, up 10 percent from last year and 46 percent above two years ago. Area for harvest, forecast at 1.95 million acres, is up 5 percent from a year ago and 20 percent above 1993. The average yield is forecast at 1,649 pounds per acre, up 67 pounds from last year and 298 pounds above 1993. Planted acreage is estimated at 2.05 million acres, up 1 percent from a year ago and 9 percent above two years ago. The August 1 estimate of planted acreage is 1 percent above the June 1 estimate but the estimate of acreage harvested is down 1 percent because of weather damage. A cool, wet spring delayed planting in most States, particularly in the West. Crop development is late although recent hot weather has helped it to catch up. Michigan's dry bean development is ahead of normal with expectations of a bumper crop in the field, 42 percent larger than last year. Nebraska's growers indicate a 28 percent increase in production as a hot July helped make up for a late start. Growers in North Dakota said beans were 32 percent podded by August 1 compared with 68 percent last year. Minnesota and North Dakota account for much of the shift to navy beans this year. Beans in Colorado and Idaho were hit by frost in early June making their progress late. Acreage increased in California with late plantings but yield potential is good. Estimates of planted acres by class show the following changes from last year: Navy beans were up 20 percent, great northern jumped 49 percent, garbanzo acreag swelled 47 percent, blackeyes increased 28 percent, black beans gained 6 percent, and light red kidneys and cranberries were up 4 percent each. Decreases are noted with a 10 percent reduction in pintos, small reds settled 32 percent lower, dark red kidneys fell 30 percent, pinks fell 18 percent, limas combined for a 10 percent decrease, and small whites were off 4 percent. HDR2012000110120811950830HAY NARRATIVES All Hay: Production for 1995 is forecast at 157 million tons, up 5 percent from 1994. All hay yields are forecast at 2.61 tons per acre, a fractional increase from one year earlier. Acreage for harvest of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures and other hays is unchanged from June report at 60.2 million acres, up 3 percent from the previous year. Production decreases occurred mainly in the Northeast and Southeast where lack of moisture adversely affected potential. In the northeast, many operators harvested fields as greenchop or haylage. Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: U.S. production is forecast at 86.1 million tons, up 6 percent from 1994. This increased production resulted from a combination of higher yields and larger acreage. Yields are expected to average 3.49 tons per acre, 0.13 of a ton above last year Harvested acres, at 24.6 million acres, are up 2 percent from 1994. Record high yields are expected in Arizona, Kentucky, and Washington. Beneficia weather led to increased production in the Southwest, Northwest, the Dakotas, Illinois, Iowa, and Oklahoma. Decreases are expected in Colorado, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and most of the northeastern States. All Other Hay: The forecast for 1995 production is 71.3 million tons, 4 percent above 1994 output. Yields are expected to average 2.00 tons per acre, slightly down from last year. Harvested acres are estimated at 35.6 million acres, up 3 percent from 1994. The larger increases in production in California, Idaho, and Minnesota are due to increased acreage rather than increased yields, but increases in Indiana, Kentucky, Montana, Virginia, and Wyoming are due to larger acreage and higher yields. HDR2012000110120811950830TOBACCO NARRATIVES Tobacco: U.S. all tobacco production for 1995 is forecast at 1.41 billion pounds, down 11 percent from 1994. Harvested acres are expected to be 685,840 acres, up 2 percent from last year. Yields for 1995 are estimated to average 2,056 pounds per acre, 302 pounds below the average for 1994. Flue-cured production is expected to total 804 million pounds, down 2 percent from the forecast of a month ago and 8 percent below a year ago. Flue-cured growers plan to harvest 395,000 acres, 10 percent above last year with most of the increase resulting from North Carolina's increased Type 12 acreage. Flue- cured tobacco accounts for 58 percent of this year's total tobacco acreage. Burley production is expected to total 514 million pounds, 16 percent below the production of 1994. Yield is expected to average 2,072 pounds per acre, 228 pounds below the average for 1994. Burley tobacco growers expect to harvest 248,300 acres, 7 percent below last year. Kentucky, with 65 percent of the 1995 burley area to be harvested, is 7 percent below a year ago. Farmers were later than usual in getting the tobacco set due to the wet spring weather. Blue mold was encouraged by the damp spring weather but the summer hea stopped the mold from spreading. Black shank and root rot have appeared in some dry areas. Tobacco condition declined as the season progressed due to disease, spotty rains, and hot weather depleted soil moisture supplies. In Kentucky, burley tobacco was 25 percent topped by August 1 with wide variation in tobacco development due to uneven planting progress in the spring. Excessive moisture in North Carolina delayed planting and leached nitrogen from soils. HDR2012000110120811950830SUGARBTS & SUGARCNE NARRATIVES Sugarbeets: Production for U.S. is expected to total 28.9 million tons, a decrease of 10 percent from 1994. Area for harvest, at 1.43 million acres, is virtually unchanged from the June "Acreage" report and 1 percent below last year. The average yield, at 20.2 tons per acre, is 2.0 tons below last year's yield. A cool, wet spring delayed the completion of sugarbeet planting, leaving many northern States two weeks behind normal. Continued heavy rains and hail caused some acreage to be lost in Colorado. If current harvest intentions are realized Michigan producers will harvest a record tonnage of sugarbeets. Hot summer weather has depleted soil moisture levels and increased the demand for irrigation. Few insect or disease problems have been reported, but the late planting start has held down yield prospects. Sugarcane: Sugarcane production for U.S. sugar and seed in 1995 is expected to total 29.2 million tons, a decrease of 6 percent from 1994. Area for harvest, at 924,200 acres, is virtually unchanged from the June "Acreage" report but 1 percent below last year. Forecasted yield, at 31.6 tons per acre, is 1.4 tons below last year's yield. A dry spring in the Delta and Southeastern States slowed sugarcane development early in the season, but recent rains have replenished soil moisture supplies an improved growth. Hurricane Erin bypassed Florida's sugarcane region, but cloudy skies limited sunshine and could adversely affect yields. In Louisiana, insect problems from the cane borer have been light. Hawaii's yield decline was attributed to the removal of less productive acres. HDR2012000110120811950830PRUNES&PLUMS NARRATIVES Prunes and Plums: Production in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington is expected to total 25,000 tons, 34 percent less than last year's crop and 11 percent below 1993. The Oregon forecast of 6,500 tons is down 66 percent from 1994. Adverse weather during pollination led to a poor set. Idaho expects 3,000 tons, off 33 percent from last year. Poor pollination and set followed by a freeze in mid-April and hail damage reduced their crop. If realized, Idaho production will match the record low set in 1991. The Washington forecast, at 7,000 tons, decreased 19 percent from 1994. Though smaller, a good quality crop is expected. In Michigan, production is expected to exceed last year by 42 percent. Crop conditions and yields are good. Some producers indicate their crop may go unharvested due to poor economic conditions. HDR2012000110120811950830PAPAYAS NARRATIVE Papayas: Hawaii fresh papaya production is estimated at 3.49 million pounds for July, 8 percent lower than June and 25 percent lower than July 1994. July weather was mixed. Day temperatures approached the mid-90's and light to moderate showers were interspersed with sunny conditions. Papaya ringspot virus continues to depress yields and production in the major producing area of the state. Area devoted to papaya production is estimated at 3,780 acres in July, up slightly from June and 17 percent higher than a year ago. Harvested area, at 2,380 acres, was 10 percent lower than last month but 11 percent more than July 1994. HDR2012000110120811950830HOPS NARRATIVE Hops: Production in 1995 is forecast at 76.0 million pounds, up 2 percent from last year but slightly less than 1993. Yield is expected to average 1,748 pounds per acre, off 10 pounds from 1994. Oregon and Washington expanded their hop acreage this year, while Idaho's area for harvest dropped slightly. The Washington crop is in good condition with no major problems. Cool weather early in the season brought about some localized mildew problems, but conditions have improved considerably. Oregon growers expect a good crop with progress slightly behind schedule. HDR2012000110120811950830OLIVES NARRATIVE Olives: The California olive crop is forecast at 85,000 tons, up 1 percent from 1994 production of 84,000 tons. Unusual weather patterns, cool temperatures, rain, hail, and wind delayed the olive bloom 2 to 3 weeks behind normal. Heavy rain impacted pollination. Budding was intermittent and buds wer on the tree for an extended period. These conditions led to a crop just slightl larger than last year but smaller than expected. Growers indicated the Manzanillo variety crop, which accounts for about 65-75 percent of the total production, will be down from last year. Larger crops are expected in the Sevillano, Mission, and other varieties. HDR2012000110120811950830FRUIT NARRATIVE Peaches: Production is forecast at 2.49 billion pounds, up slightly from last month and down 1 percent from 1994. Production of the U.S. crop, excluding California Clingstone peaches, is expected to total 1.55 billion pounds, up fractionally from July 1 and up 13 percent from last year. Michigan, at 55.0 million pounds, jumped 10 percent above July 1 and sharply higher than last year's short crop. Harvest progressed well, with about 25 percent of the crop picked. Good quality was reported. Forecasts for New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Washington remained unchanged from a month ago. Crop conditions and fruit size in New Jersey are good. In Pennsylvania, the crop rebounded from a complete loss in 1994 and was rated good to excellent by growers. The South Carolina harvest reached the three-quarter mark last month under mostly hot, dry conditions. Harvest continued actively in Washington with good demand. Apples: The nation's apple production is forecast at 11.2 billion pounds, down 1 percent from the 1994 record high crop but 5 percent more than 1993. Production in the Western States is expected to reach 6.52 billion pounds, down 11 percent from 1994. Washington, the major contributor to the decrease, droppe 9 percent from last year's record high crop. Gala harvest should begin around mid-August in North Central Washington. On July 9, in that region, a damaging hailstorm struck several orchards. It is too early to tell the extent of the storm's damage. In Yakima County, a wet spring and a lack of bloom is expected to reduce Red and Golden Delicious production. Fruit size and quality in California are good. Hot weather stressed the crop but damage is minimal. Adverse conditions early in the growing season reduced crop potential in Idaho, Oregon, and Utah. The Central States expect 1.68 billion pounds of apple production, up 21 percent from last year. Conditions have been favorable across the region. Production is expected to exceed 1994 in 10 out of 12 central states. If realized, Michiga will harvest another record high crop with production levels exceeding 1994 by 19 percent. Dry weather and high temperatures hindered development and affected sizing in Indiana and Wisconsin. In the Eastern States, production is placed at 2.98 billion pounds, up 13 percent from 1994. Prospects are good-to-excellent across most of the region Apple production is expected to surpass last year's mark in 12 out of 16 eastern states. Harvest of early varieties in New York began. Apples are sizing nicely in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. In South Carolina and Georgia, hot, arid conditions limited fruit size. The largest increases in production are projected for: Virginia, a jump of 38 percent, Maryland, up 37 percent, and Georgia, 35 percent. Pears: Total U.S. production is placed at 963,300 tons, down 8 percent from last year's record high crop but 2 percent more than 1993. Bartlett production in California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 510,000 tons, down 14 percent from a year ago. California reports a good qualit crop. Picking is well underway in the Sacramento and Mendocino districts of California with over 30 percent of the crop harvested. Oregon producers expect an average crop, down 16 percent from last year's bumper crop. Uncharacteristic spring weather patterns resulted in lengthened bloom periods and uneven pollination. Washington's crop is in good condition and progressing well as production is expected to exceed last year's level. Production of pears, other than Bartlett, in the Pacific Coast States, is estimated to be 420,000 tons, down 1 percent from 1994. In California, Asian pear picking is underway with good quality reported. Oregon's crop is making good progress. The adverse spring conditions did not affect Oregon's winter pears as badly as it did the Bartletts since they mature later. Harvest is expected to begin in early September. Washington's crop is developing well. If realized, this would be a record pear crop, excluding Bartletts. Colorado expects a short but good quality pear crop. Michigan reports a choice crop with a 33 percent increase over last year. Harvest is scheduled to begin August 24. The New York and Pennsylvania crops are making good progress. The continued lack of moisture could reduce fruit size in both states. Utah growers reported that an unusually warm February followed by hail storms and a late freeze have reduced this year's crop. Forecasted production of 900 tons will be their lowest since 1972. HDR2012000110120811950830COFFEE NARRATIVE Coffee: Hawaii coffee production for crop year 1994 totaled 4.0 million pounds parchment basis. Up 38 percent from the previous crop year, this output is the largest since the 1970 crop of 4.3 million pounds. Hawaii island production declined 8 percent primarily due to inadequate rainfall. This island accounts for over 40 percent of the total coffee produced in the State. Offsetting the decline on Hawaii, production from the islands of Maui, Molokai, and Kauai increased a combined 134 percent. Continued maturing of young trees led to the jump on these three islands and production is expected to continue rising as trees have not yet reached full maturity. HDR2012000110120811950830GRAPES NARRATIVE Grapes: Production is forecast at 5.77 million tons, down 2 percent from 1994. Larger crops are forecast in Washington and Michigan, while California, New York, and Pennsylvania expect smaller crops this year. Total grape production for California is 5.09 million tons, down 1 percent from last month and 3 percent below last year. Raisin type varieties, at 2.25 million tons, are up 2 percent from last month but down 6 percent from last year. Compared with last year, objective measurement survey data show lower bunch counts with average bunch sizes wider and thicker but shorter. Thompson seedless variety grapes are being picked for fresh use in the San Joaquin Valley Maturity is behind normal, but recent hot weather may help. Picking for wine an raisin use should begin by late August. Table grape production is expected to total 640,000 tons, unchanged from last month and up 6 percent from last year. Picking of Perlette and Flame Seedless varieties is active in the San Joaquin Valley with good quality reported. Wine type production is 2.2 million tons, 4 percent below last month and 3 percent below 1994. Growers are concerned about mildew and sunburn. Harvest in the Central Valley is expected to begin by mid-August. Grape production in Washington is 306,000 tons, 36 percent above last year. War temperatures are helping to ripen the crop. Good wine grape quality is reported Michigan forecasts 70,000 tons, an increase of 8 percent from 1994. Yield potential is excellent with above normal temperatures following pollination and adequate water supplies. Production in New York is forecast at 175,000 tons, down 8 percent from last year. No disease threats are reported at this time, but rain is needed for a good crop. Pennsylvania expects to produce 70,000 tons, a decrease of 13 percent from the previous year. Weather condition varied throughout the state with some growers reporting small berry sizes and powdery mildew problems. HDR2012000110120811950830GINGER ROOT NARRATIVE Ginger Root: Hawaii ginger root production is estimated at 5.80 million pounds for the 1994-95 season, down 3 percent from the previous season. Disease continued to hamper production in major growing areas in the eastern hal of Hawaii island. Average yields, however, increased from 40,000 to 43,000 pounds per acre, an indication that improved cultural practices have helped. Acres harvested declined to 135 acres, down 10 percent from the previou season. The reduction in harvested acreage was the result of fewer growers planting ginger root because of the presence of disease. HDR2012000110120811950830FL CITRUS NARRATIVES Florida Citrus: Citrus groves, trees, and new crop fruit were all in very good condition through most of July. The first part of the month was very hot and dry in most counties. Afternoon rains were common the last hal of July. New crop fruit size was normal for the end of July. Most oranges were golf ball size or larger and grapefruit were generally baseball size. Most of the temples and tangelos were larger than golf balls. Tangerines were smaller than golf balls. There was an abundance of new foliage on trees of all ages as a result of near ideal growing conditions during the last few weeks of the month Caretakers were actively cutting cover crops, spraying, fertilizing, and removin dead trees. Hurricane Erin moved across the state on August 1-2. The storm entered the stat near Vero Beach in Indian River County and moved west northwest through Osceola, south Orange, northern Polk, and exited into the Gulf just north of Tampa. Erin was downgraded to a tropical storm over Osceola County when winds dropped below 74 mph. Rain and wind covered all citrus growing areas except the extreme lower counties of Hendry and Collier with rainfall amounts and strength of winds varying. Initial reports and observations indicated very limited loss of grapefruit in Indian River and Brevard counties only. Virtually no loss was observed on oranges. Rainfall was not excessive. Amounts varied with up to 4 inches reported. Rainfall was heavier in isolated areas after the storm. Standing water in groves and ditches was moved quickly and no affects are expected on trees or fruit. HDR2012000110120811950830CA FRUITS & NUTS NARRATIVES California Fruits and Nuts: Grape growers thinned and irrigated vineyards as well as treated for mildew and insects. The Central Valley began harvesting table grapes. Stone fruit harvest was active in the central and southern parts of the state. Apple orchards were disked for wee control and treated to control Codling Moth and Fireblight. Gala and Gravenstei apple harvest began. Bartlett pear harvest was active in the Sacramento area. Berry harvest continued in the San Joaquin Valley. Almond orchards were treated for mites and Navel orange worm. The almond crop looked spotty. Walnuts were sprayed for blight, Husk Fly, and Codling Moth. Some sunburn damage was reporte in walnuts. Pistachio orchards were sprayed for Navel orange worm. Avocado harvest continued in the San Joaquin Valley and Riverside County. HDR2012000110120811950830CA CITRUS NARRATIVES California Citrus: Grapefruit outside the Desert Valley continued to show good quality. Some defects reported include scar, scale, sheepnose, and picking injuries. The 1994-95 lemon crop harvest continued but was nearing the end. Valencia orange picking was close to two-thirds complete. Sunburn, puff, and crease were concerns to growers. Set was better in the San Joaquin Valley than Southern California. New crop citrus maturity progresse well. Treatment for Red Scale was applied. HDR2012000110120811950830RELIABILITY OF AUG 1 CRP PROD FORECASTS Reliability of August 1 Crop Production Forecasts Survey Procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between July 22 and August 2 to gather information on expected yield as of August 1. The objective yield surveys for wheat, corn, soybeans, and cotton were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for approximately 80 percent of the U.S. production. Farm operators wer interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and to seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected fields (corn, cotton, and soybeans) The items counted within the selected plots depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, number of plants are recorded along with other measurements that provide information to forecast the number of heads, ears, pods, or bolls and their weight. The counts are used with similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The five-year average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. The plots are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is harvested and weighed After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss. The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail and personal interviewers. Approximately 30,000 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield and in the cas of late planted crops, acreage questions were asked to measure changes in intentions since the mid-year survey. Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported survey estimates were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared to previou 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 data and the State analysis to prepare the published August 1 forecast. Revision Policy: The August 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing season. At the end of the marketing year administrative records and a balance sheet are utilized using carryover stocks, production, exports, processing, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then made if data relationships warrant changes. Estimates of planted acres for spring planted crops are subjec to revision August 1 if conditions altered the planting intentions since the mid-year survey. Harvested acres may be revised any time a production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended harvested area ha changed since the last estimate. Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the August 1 production forecasts, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the Augus 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of squared percentage deviations for the 1975-1994 20-year period is computed then 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. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the August 1 corn for grain production forecast is 8.7 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast of 8.12 billion bushels will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 8.7 percent or approximately 707 million bushels. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 15.0 percent or approximately 1.22 million bushels. Also, shown in the following table is a 10-year record for selected crops of the differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimates. Using corn again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimat during the past 10 years have averaged 425 million bushels, ranging from 56 million to 1,079 million bushels. The August 1 forecast has been below the fina 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 final production. For most crops, the number of years the forecasts have been below or above the final estimate is about equally distributed.
