There 835 active cotton gins during the 2006 season, down from the 887 gins that operated in 2005. Fifty-three percent of the gins processed more than 20,000 bales compared with the 55 percent the previous season. Cotton, 2006 Final: All Cotton production is estimated at forecast at 21.6 million 480-lb bales, down 10 percent from last year's record high production. The U.S. all cotton yield averaged 814 pounds per acre, down 17 pounds from last year. Upland cotton production, estimated at 20.8 million 480-pound bales, is the third largest crop on record but 10 percent less than last year's record high production. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is 806 pounds per acre, down 19 pounds from 2005, while harvested area at 12.4 million acres is also down 8 percent. American-Pima production totaled 765,400 bales, up 21 percent from 2005. The U.S. yield for American-Pima is 1,136 pounds per acre, up 9 pounds from 2005. In the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia), planting was completed by mid-June. During the summer months, producers in Georgia and Alabama battled drought conditions. Producers in the Carolinas and Virginia received favorable weather but Tropical Storm Ernesto made landfall in late August bringing heavy rains and strong winds to some areas. By mid-September, harvest was in full swing in Alabama and Georgia aided by hot, dry weather. Harvest in the Carolinas started in late September. Harvest throughout the region was complete by early December. The objective yield survey in Georgia showed the largest bolls per acre on record but the boll weight was the third lowest on record. Production in Georgia is a record high, surpassing the previous record set in 2001. In the Delta region, planting was complete by late May. The summer months of June and July brought hot, dry conditions throughout the region which allowed the crop to mature ahead of normal. With the advanced crop, harvest got underway in late August in Mississippi and Louisiana. In Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri, heavy rains during the early fall delayed harvest. However, by early October, harvest was in full swing and was completed by late November. In Arkansas and Louisiana, objective yield data showed the bolls per acre to be the largest in the last ten years and the boll weight in Arkansas was the heaviest in the last ten years. Data from the objective yield survey in Mississippi showed boll weight and boll counts to be lowest in the last 5 years. In Arkansas and Tennessee, production is at a record high level, surpassing the previous record set last year. Hot, dry conditions allowed producers in the Southwest (Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) to finish planting in early June, ahead of normal. The drought conditions continued throughout the summer causing stress to the dryland cotton but allowing the crop to mature well ahead of normal. In the Plains region, cooler temperatures and rain showers in late August and early September brought much needed relief to the crop. In South Texas, harvest was complete in late September. In Oklahoma and Kansas, harvest was in full swing by mid-October. Wet early fall weather in the Texas Plains delayed harvest but progress gained momentum in late November after the first freeze. Data from the objective yield survey in Texas showed an above average number of bolls per acre while the boll weight was the heaviest on record. California upland producers battled cool, wet weather in March and April that delayed planting but by early June planting was complete. Hot, dry weather started in late June and continued throughout July with temperatures exceeding 100 degrees F for several weeks causing stress to the crop. Even with the heat stress endured in July, the crop matured and developed normally throughout the fall. Harvest in the Desert Southwest got underway in late August and was complete by late October. In California, harvest wrapped up in December. The objective yield survey indicated California's weight per boll to be the lowest in the last 10 years. Cottonseed, 2006: Cottonseed production in 2006 totaled 7.35 million tons, down 10 percent from last year. Sales to oil mills accounted for 49 percent of the disposition. The 51 percent will be used for seed, feed, exports and various other uses. ACCESS TO REPORTS!!
