A 6 percent increase in acres harvested from last season contributed to the higher ginnings. There were 887 active cotton gins during the 2005 season, down from the 896 gins that operated in 2004. Fifty-five percent of the gins processed more than 20,000 bales compared with 53 percent the previous season. Cotton, 2005 Final: All cotton production for 2005 is estimated at a record high 23.9 million 480-pound bales, 3 percent above last year's previous record. The U.S. all cotton yield averaged 831 pounds per harvested acre, down 24 pounds from last year's record high yield. Upland cotton production, estimated at 23.6 million 480-pound bales, is the largest on record and 3 percent more than last year's production. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is 825 pounds per acre, down 18 pounds from 2004. American-Pima production totaled 630,500 bales, down 15 percent from 2004. The U.S. yield for American-Pima is 1,127 pounds per acre, down 316 pounds from 2004. The area planted to all cotton totaled 14.2 million acres, up 4 percent from 2004. Harvested area increased 6 percent from the previous year to 13.8 million acres. Planting was completed in the Southeastern region by late May. During the summer months, Tropical Storms Cindy and Arlene along with Hurricane Dennis brought moderate to heavy rains and provided much needed moisture in some areas. The hot, humid days at the end of July allowed the crop to make excellent progress but maturation of the crop lagged behind normal throughout most of the season. During the first part of September, the Carolinas received much needed moisture from Hurricane Ophelia. Harvest was in full swing by late October and virtually complete by late November. Objective yield survey data show Georgia's bolls per acre are the highest on record. Producers in the Delta States had ideal planting conditions with planting completed by the end of May. Throughout the summer months, the Delta States were plagued with excessively dry conditions with the Bootheel of Missouri being the hardest hit. In late August, Hurricane Katrina made landfall along the Louisiana and Mississippi border bringing 140 mph winds and excessive rain but the brunt of the storm missed the majority of the cotton producing area in the southern Delta but provided much needed moisture in the northern Delta. Harvest got underway in the southern Delta in mid August, but was virtually stopped in late August from the shortage of diesel fuel. Limited harvest began again in early September but producers in Louisiana and Mississippi received heavy rains during late September from Hurricane Rita which continued to slow harvest progress. During early and mid October, producers had excellent harvest weather and by the end of the month progress was ahead of normal throughout the region with harvest complete by the end of the month. Objective yield data show Mississippi's boll weight to be the highest in the last 10 years and the boll weight in Arkansas to be the second highest in the last 10 ten years. While in Louisiana, bolls per acre were the highest in the last 10 years. Planting was virtually complete in south Texas by the end of April but getting underway in the Texas Panhandle, Kansas, and Oklahoma. By mid-June, nearly all cotton in the Texas Panhandle was planted. Due to lack of rain and the high temperatures, the dryland acres in south Texas experienced heat stress. The Texas Panhandle, Kansas, and Oklahoma, producers received hot weather and timely rains which allowed the crop to develop in mostly good to excellent condition throughout the growing season. Harvest was complete by early September in south Texas but did not get into full swing in the Panhandle until around mid-October. The Panhandle completed harvest in late January. In Kansas and Oklahoma, harvest was complete by late November. Data from the objective yield survey showed Texas bolls per acre and boll weight to be second largest in the last 10 years. A record high yield of 723 pounds per acres was set in Texas, surpassing last year's record of 694 pounds per acre. Arizona and California upland cotton growers experienced rain and below normal soil temperatures which delayed planting. Due to the later planting, crop development lagged behind normal throughout most of the season. In late September, harvest got underway in Arizona and by late October California was in full swing but still behind normal. Objective yield data show California bolls per acre to be slightly above the 5 year average and the boll weight to be the second lowest in the last 10 years. Cottonseed, 2005: Cottonseed production in 2005 totaled 8.17 million tons, down slightly from last year. Sales to oil mills accounted for 56 percent of the disposition. The remaining 44 percent will be used for seed, feed, exports, and various other uses. ACCESS TO REPORTS!!
