Data excludes 4 gins in Florida, 2 gins in Kansas, and 6 gins in Virginia. Cotton Ginnings 2001: A total of 19.8 million running bales were ginned during the 2001 season, 18 percent above 2000's ginnings of 16.7 million bales. A six percent increase in acres harvested and a 73 pound yield per acre increase contributed to the higher level of ginnings. There were 970 active cotton gins during the 2001 season, down from the 1,018 that operated in 2000. There were 413 ginnings firms processing more than 20,000 bales in 2001, compared with 336 the previous season. Cotton, 2001 Final: All cotton production is estimated at 20.3 million bales, 18 percent above the 2000 production level. The 2001 output is the largest crop on record. Upland cotton production, at 19.6 million bales, was 17 percent above the previous year. This is the largest upland production in history, surpassing the 1994 record of 19.3 million bales. American-Pima production totaled 700,400 bales, up 80 percent from 2000. This surpasses the previous record high production of 691,700 bales in 1989. The area planted to all cotton totaled 15.8 million acres, up 2 percent from 2000. Harvested area increased 6 percent to 13.8 million acres. Yields for the U.S. averaged 705 pounds per harvested acre, up 73 pounds per acre from a year ago. Producers in the Southeastern States rated their crop mostly fair-to-good throughout the 2001 growing season. However, development was hindered by cooler-than-normal temperatures and cloud cover, resulting in bolls opening at a pace slightly behind the 5-year average, especially in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Despite the slow development, harvest was underway throughout the region by mid-September. Cotton picking was aided throughout October by favorably dry weather, but remained slightly behind average in Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina. Extremely dry conditions during November increased the efforts on harvesting cotton, as many farmers delayed small grain seeding due to the lack of moisture. By the time rains were received during late November, the pace of cotton harvest had exceeded the 5-year average in all of the Southeastern States except Alabama. Planting of upland cotton progressed rapidly in the Delta States during 2001. Dry weather permitted planting to begin in mid-April, with planting completed well ahead of the 5-year average. Warm temperatures and adequate moisture throughout May allowed the crop to develop a good stand and minimized the need for replanting. Development continued to progress well until the end of June when below normal temperatures hindered crop progress. However, by the end of July, near normal temperatures returned and promoted development. Harvest was in full swing during the second half of September; however, Louisiana and Mississippi lagged behind the 5-year average due to a slow developing crop and persistent, excessive rains received during late August and early September. Despite the delay in development during the end of June and rain delays during early harvest periods, the Delta States had virtually completed harvest by the end of November. Record yields were established in Tennessee. Data from the Objective Yield Survey show boll weights in Arkansas and Louisiana rank as the fourth heaviest since 1992, while Mississippi boll weights are the second heaviest in the past 10 years. Producers in the Southwestern States were able to plant their cotton at or ahead of normal pace. However, the cotton crop on the High Plains received rain, strong winds, and large hail during early June. Some replanting was possible, but insurance deadlines resulted in some abandonment as destroyed cotton acreage was replanted to alternative crops. Overall, development and harvest of the crop maintained pace with the 5-year average. Objective Yield Survey data indicate Texas' boll weights are the sixth lightest in the past ten years. Arizona and California cotton growers began planting during mid-March, but were slowed by cool, wet weather during early April. Additionally, storms during the first half of April resulted in the need to replant some fields. Crop development progressed slightly ahead of the 5-year average as a result of warm weather and irrigation. Producers rated the crop as mostly good-to-excellent throughout the entire season. Harvest activities progressed on pace with the 5-year average in Arizona and well ahead of average in California, despite some delays due to wet fields. Data from the objective yield plots indicate California's weight per boll is the second lightest since 1992. The San Joaquin Valley began planting American-Pima cotton in mid-March, but cool, wet weather caused a large amount of acreage to be replanted. Warm weather during the summer aided development. Harvest progressed well despite slight delays, and was virtually complete by mid-December. Cottonseed: Cottonseed production in 2001 totaled 7.45 million tons, up 16 percent from 2000.
