U.S. data includes Florida, Kansas, and Virginia. Cotton Ginnings 2002: A total of 16.7 million running bales were ginned during the 2002 season, 15 percent below 2001's ginnings of 19.8 million bales. A 10 percent decrease in acres harvested and a 40-pound yield per acre decrease from last season's record high production contributed to the lower level of ginnings. There were 921 active cotton gins during the 2002 season, down from the 970 that operated in 2001. Thirty-seven percent of the gins processed more than 20,000 bales in 2002, compared with 43 percent the previous season. Cotton, 2002 Final: All cotton production is estimated at 17.2 million bales, 15 percent below the record high 2001 production. Upland cotton production, at 16.5 million bales, was 16 percent less than the previous year. American-Pima production totaled 678,300 bales, down 3 percent from 2001. The area planted to all cotton totaled 14.0 million acres, down 11 percent from 2001. Harvested area decreased 10 percent to 12.4 million acres. Yields for the U.S. averaged 665 pounds per harvested acre, down 40 pounds per acre from a year ago. Data from the combined seven Objective Yield States showed the highest number of bolls, highest average boll weight, and highest loss of the previous five years. Producers in the Southeastern States had a very challenging season. The upland crop was planted under ideal conditions and development progressed ahead of average. However, an abnormally dry, hot summer stressed the crop and the condition of the crop deteriorated. The heat matured the crop rapidly allowing growers to harvest earlier than normal. Beginning in September, heavy rains delayed harvesting operations. Although the moisture was welcome, it was too late to help the drought-stressed crop. The untimely rains resulted in some boll rot and seed germination. Frequent showers throughout October further delayed the harvest. During the first half of November, growers were able to re-enter their fields to pick their cotton. However, harvesting was virtually halted mid-month, as persistent rains returned. The harvest approached completion by early December as dry weather dominated the region. Producers in the Delta States had ideal planting conditions until rains during May interrupted the fieldwork. Planting activities continued well into June in Tennessee. Cooler than normal July temperatures and timely rains boosted the condition of the late maturing crop. Two significant storms moved through the lower Delta region within a two-week period toward the end of September and early part of October. The damage to open bolls was limited, however, since the crop was considerably behind in maturity. Unrelenting downpours during the first half of November prevented growers from picking the cotton. The drier, final two weeks of November allowed the harvest to progress, although well behind the normal pace. Objective yield data showed above average boll counts in Arkansas and Mississippi. Arkansas boll weights were below average, but Mississippi boll weights were the highest of the previous fifteen years. Louisiana's boll counts and weights were the highest since 1994. Producers in the Southwestern States had a relatively good season. Planting remained active in the southern Great Plains until mid-June, although progress was occasionally interrupted by rain. Moisture shortages slowed planting progress on the High Plains. Warmer than normal temperatures promoted germination and growth where moisture supplies were adequate. However, fields in the dryland areas of South Texas and the Coastal Bend suffered due to inadequate moisture and excessive heat. Irrigated fields responded well to the weather. Development of the New Mexico and Oklahoma crop progressed well ahead of average, but Texas maturity was about average. Harvest was underway by August in central and southern areas of Texas and was wrapping up by the end of September. The Plains area crop was fully matured by early October and growers began defoliating and harvesting between rain showers. Cooler than normal temperatures in September slowed the development of Oklahoma's crop which had been maturing ahead of average. Rains throughout October and early November delayed harvesting across the region. Conditions improved later in November and the pace of harvest accelerated rapidly. Data from the Objective Yield survey show Texas boll counts were the highest in the last fifteen years and weights were the second highest. Record high yields were established in Texas, New Mexico, and Kansas. Arizona and California upland cotton growers began planting during March under ideal conditions. Cool, spring weather in a few areas of California slowed development but warm summer temperatures promoted growth and good boll retention. The crop was in good to excellent condition throughout the season. Harvest was well underway by mid-September and progressed under ideal conditions. Data from the Objective Yield survey show California boll counts were the highest in the last fifteen years but the weights were the lowest. A record yield of 1,439 pounds per harvested acre was set in California, surpassing the 1,378 pound yield set in 2000. The California Pima growers planted their crop under almost ideal conditions. The crop progressed well during the year despite some early cool spells in late April and early May. Growth of Pima cotton during the summer months was good to excellent, with crop progress slightly ahead of average. Insect pressure remained light with the typical small numbers of whiteflies and aphids late in the season. Harvest of California's Pima cotton began in early October. By mid-December, virtually the entire crop had been harvested with only a few fields remaining to be picked a second time. Cottonseed: Cottonseed production in 2002 totaled 6.18 million tons, down 17 percent from 2001. Sales to oil mills accounted for 53 percent of the disposition. The remaining 47 percent will be used for seed, feed, exports, and various other uses.
