Cr Pr 2-2 (8-02) Crop Production National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA Washington, D.C. Released August 12, 2002, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, U.S. Department of Agriculture. For information on "Crop Production" call (202) 720-2127, office hours 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Corn Production Down 7 Percent from 2001 Soybean Production Down 9 Percent Corn production is forecast at 8.89 billion bushels, down 7 percent from last year and down 10 percent from 2000. If realized, this would be the lowest production since 1995. Based on conditions as of August 1, yields are expected to average 125.2 bushels per acre, down 13.0 bushels from last year. Yields are mostly lower than 2001 across much of the United States as wet weather during planting caused delays in the eastern Corn Belt. Also, persistent hot, dry weather has stunted growth and limited yield potential over many areas of the United States. Farmers expect to harvest 71.0 million acres of corn for grain, down 1.08 million acres from June, but up 3 percent from 2001. Soybean production is forecast at 2.63 billion bushels, down 9 percent from 2001 and 5 percent below 2000. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 36.5 bushels per acre, down 3.1 bushels from 2001. If realized, this would be the lowest production since 1996. Yields are mostly lower than 2001 in the western Corn Belt, central Great Plains, Ohio Valley, and Atlantic Coast States. However, higher yields were reported in the Upper and Middle Mississippi Valley and southern Great Plains States. Area planted, at 73.0 million acres, is up slightly from June, but down 1 percent from last year. Acreage for harvest is estimated at 72.0 million acres, down 1 percent from 2001. All cotton production is forecast at 18.4 million 480-pound bales, down 9 percent from last year's record high production. The yield is expected to average 675 pounds per harvested acre, down 30 pounds from 2001. The reduced production is due to lower acreages and yields, but is partially offset by less abandonment when compared to a year ago. Upland cotton production is forecast at 17.8 million 480-pound bales, 9 percent below 2001. American-Pima cotton production is forecast at 689 thousand 480-pound bales, a decline of 2 percent from last year. Nationwide, producers expect to harvest 13.1 million acres, 5 percent below last year. Upland cotton harvested area, at 12.8 million acres, is 5 percent less than a year ago. American-Pima harvested acreage is expected to total 263,400 acres, 2 percent less than 2001. All wheat production is placed at 1.69 billion bushels, down 4 percent from the July forecast and down 14 percent from 2001. This is the lowest production since 1972. Based on August 1 conditions, the U.S. yield is forecast at 35.4 bushels per acre, down 1.3 bushels from last month. The final Winter wheat production forecast is 1.16 billion bushels, the lowest level since 1971. This is down 2 percent from last month, and 15 percent below 2001. The U.S. yield is forecast at 38.9 bushels per acre, down 0.7 bushels from last month. Production forecasts for all three classes of winter wheat are down for the third consecutive month. Hard Red Winter, at 626 million bushels, is down 1 percent from a month ago. White Winter is down 4 percent from last month and totals 195 million bushels. Soft Red Winter is down 1 percent from the last forecast, at 338 million bushels. Durum wheat production is forecast at 79.5 million bushels, down 5 percent from last month and 2001. The U.S. yield is forecast at 29.5 bushels per acre, 1.8 bushels less than last month. There were no changes in acreage intended for harvest. Other Spring wheat production is forecast at 448 million bushels, down 8 percent from last month and 13 percent below 2001. Acreage intended for harvest is unchanged from last month. The U.S. yield is forecast at 29.5 bushels per acre, 2.5 bushels less than July 1. Of the production total, 407 million is Hard Red Spring wheat, down 8 percent from last month.

July Weather Summary Very warm, dry weather depleted topsoil moisture and increased stress on summer crops in the eastern Corn Belt, while hot, dry conditions severely stressed reproductive and grain-filling corn and soybeans along the western edge of the Corn Belt. In contrast, wet weather prevailed in the upper Mississippi Valley, including much of Minnesota and Iowa. Meanwhile on the Plains, drought and excessive heat continued to adversely affect pastures and dryland summer crops in South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, and much of Kansas. Somewhat more favorable conditions existed on the southern Plains due to widespread showers, and across parts of Montana and North Dakota because of scattered showers and a late-month cooling trend. Farther west, hot, dry weather stressed dryland agriculture and contributed to an increase in wildfire activity across the interior Northwest. Meanwhile, monsoon showers eased irrigation demands, aided wildfire containment efforts, and provided limited relief from long-term drought in the Four Corners region. Isolated mid- to late-month showers also helped to ease the effects of a record-setting heat wave that struck the Great Basin and Intermountain West from July 10-14. Farther east, record rainfall and flooding struck south-central Texas in early July, and an overall wet pattern continued for the remainder of the month across the South, particularly in Texas and Florida. In the Atlantic Coast region, however, above-normal temperatures and only isolated showers led to drought intensification as far south as northern Georgia. Monthly temperatures across the South ranged from as much as 3 degrees F above normal in the southern Mid-Atlantic region to 3 degrees F below normal in central Texas. Readings also averaged as much as 3 degrees F below normal at a few locations in northern New England and along the California coast. Hotter-than-normal weather prevailed across the remainder of the country, boosting July temperatures generally 1 to 5 degrees F above normal in the Corn Belt and 3 to 7 degrees F above normal in the Great Basin, Intermountain West, interior Northwest, and the Plains' core drought area. July Crop Summary Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid phenological crop development across most of the Nation during July, but moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth and stressed reproductive crop development in many areas. Crop stress was most severe in the western Corn Belt, central Great Plains, Ohio Valley, and Atlantic Coastal Plain. Meanwhile, most crops along the Gulf Coast and adjacent areas of the interior southern Great Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast benefited from above-normal precipitation. Abundant rainfall also aided crop development through much of the central and upper Mississippi Valley. However, hail, strong winds, and flooding damaged some fields in south-central Texas and parts of the northern Red River Valley. Harvest of winter wheat and spring sown small grains progressed with few delays in the Corn Belt and Great Plains. Rain periodically interrupted harvest of mature summer crops along the Gulf Coast. On July 28, seventy-seven percent of the Nation's corn acreage was at or beyond the silking stage and 15 percent was at or beyond the dough stage. Both stages were slightly behind their 5-year averages of 78 and 16 percent, respectively. Fields entered the silking stage earlier than normal in the western Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the northern Great Plains, especially in Iowa and Minnesota. In the central and eastern Corn Belt, fields rapidly advanced to the silking stage after mid-month, but progress remained well behind normal in Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin, and slightly behind normal in Illinois. Acreage at or beyond the dough stage was mostly confined to the southern Great Plains, Southeast, and along the southern edge of the Corn Belt, until late in the month. Conditions steadily deteriorated across the Corn Belt, as hot weather and below-normal precipitation stressed fields in many areas. Along the middle and upper Mississippi River Valley precipitation was adequate to support healthy development, but fields along and adjacent to the western edge of the Corn Belt were severely stressed by moisture shortages. Seventy-six percent of the soybean acreage was blooming, and 34 percent was setting pods on July 28. Acreage at the bloom stage slightly trailed the 77-percent average for this date, but acreage setting pods equaled the 5-year average. Above-normal temperatures accelerated biological development across the Corn Belt and Great Plains during July, but vegetative growth was stunted by moisture shortages in most areas. Fields entered the bloom stage and began setting pods later than normal in most areas east of the Mississippi River. Meanwhile, progress exceeded the 5-year average in most areas of the western Corn Belt and Great Plains. Development was most advanced in Iowa and North Dakota, where nearly all of the acreage was blooming and about two-thirds was setting pods by the end of the month. Fields entered the bloom stage and began setting pods more than 1 week later than normal in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Late-month rains accelerated vegetative growth across much of the Corn Belt, but the most beneficial precipitation was in the middle and upper Mississippi Valley. Cotton development progressed near normal during July, with 94 percent of the acreage at or beyond the squaring stage and 73 percent setting bolls by July 28. Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid biological development in the Southeast, Southwest, and lower Mississippi Valley, while below-normal temperatures limited biological development through much of the southern Great Plains. Despite rapid advancement during July, development remained mostly behind normal in the interior Mississippi Valley. Meanwhile, biological development progressed ahead of normal in most areas of the Southeast, with fields squaring and setting bolls much earlier than normal in Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. In the Southwest, fields developed well ahead of normal in Arizona and slightly ahead of normal in California. Frequent afternoon thunderstorms provided adequate moisture for development through much of the Southeast, although parts of the Atlantic Coastal Plain remained unfavorably dry. In Texas, some fields suffered due to excessive rainfall. Near the end of the month, producers along the Gulf Coast applied defoliants and picked mature fields. The winter wheat harvest progressed ahead of normal throughout the month and was 88 percent complete on July 28. Mostly dry weather aided harvest progress across the central Great Plains and eastern Corn Belt during the first half of the month. In Kansas, harvest was finished by July 7. Elsewhere, widespread showers briefly slowed progress in Indiana, but harvest neared completion far ahead of normal in Colorado and Nebraska. Hot weather promoted maturation across the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest most of the month and dry weather supported harvest after mid-month, especially in South Dakota. Harvest also accelerated in Michigan. As the end of the month approached, harvest neared completion in Michigan and South Dakota. In Idaho and Montana, harvest gained momentum late in the month, but progress lagged behind normal, especially in Montana. Ninety-six percent of the barley and 97 percent of the spring wheat was at or beyond the heading stage on July 28. Normally, 97 percent of the barley and spring wheat would be headed by this date. Above normal temperatures promoted rapid biological development across the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest during most of the month. However, moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth in less advanced fields and hampered grain-filling in more advanced fields, especially in South Dakota. Nearly all of the barley and spring wheat fields were headed in Minnesota and Washington by mid-month. Most of South Dakota's spring wheat was also headed by mid-month. In Idaho and Montana, barley and spring wheat fields entered the heading stage later than normal. Near the end of the month, the spring wheat harvest rapidly accelerated in South Dakota and was far ahead of normal on July 28. Ninety-five percent of the oat crop was heading on July 21, matching the average for this date. Hot weather promoted rapid biological development in the northern Great Plains and Corn Belt during most of the month. Fields matured ahead of normal in Iowa and Nebraska. Meanwhile, heading neared completion ahead of normal in Minnesota and the Dakotas, but later than normal in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Harvest accelerated after mid-month, and progressed with few delays in most areas. By July 28, harvest was 36 percent complete, compared with the average of 27 percent. Progress was far ahead of normal in Iowa and South Dakota, but lagged behind normal in Ohio. Elsewhere, harvest neared completion in Nebraska, gained momentum in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and began in North Dakota. Rice development during July was behind last year's pace, but heading advanced ahead of the 5-year average. Fields entered the heading stage more than 1 week ahead of normal along the western Gulf Coast. In the interior Mississippi Delta, progress was slightly behind normal before mid-month and slightly ahead of normal after mid-month. Some early-planted Texas and Louisiana fields were ripe by mid-month, and a few were drained and harvested. After mid-month, fields rapidly entered the heading stage in the interior Mississippi Delta. By the end of the month, about one-half of the acreage was headed, and many fields along the Gulf Coast were ripe. On July 28, harvest was 14 and 6 percent complete in Louisiana and Texas, respectively. Sorghum development progressed near normal during July, with 49 percent at or beyond the heading stage and 22 percent turning color on July 28. Above-normal temperatures accelerated biological development in the central and northern Great Plains and Corn Belt, but increasing moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth, especially in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Meanwhile, cooler than normal weather limited biological progress in the southern Great Plains. In the lower Mississippi Valley, fields rapidly entered the heading stage early in the month, and quickly approached maturity near the end of the month. In Texas, 39 percent was mature and 30 percent was harvested on July 28. The peanut crop developed ahead of normal across most of the Southeast and southern Great Plains, with 89 percent of the acreage pegging on July 28, compared with the 5-year average of 85 percent. Pegging accelerated along the Atlantic Coastal Plain early in the month and gained momentum along the Gulf Coast and southern Great Plains near mid-month. Dryland fields were periodically stressed by moisture shortages, especially along the Atlantic Coastal Plain, but near-normal temperatures and precipitation maintained crop conditions across most of the Southeast. In the southern Great Plains, some fields were damaged by excessive rain. Corn for grain: Corn planted for all purposes, at 78.8 million acres, is up 4 percent from 2001. This is down 100,000 acres from the June Acreage Report. The August surveys showed farmers in Illinois did not plant all of their intended acres. U.S. farmers expect to harvest 71.0 million acres of corn for grain, down 1 percent from June, but up 3 percent from 2001. Area to be harvested for grain was reduced in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and North Carolina because of extreme drought conditions. The August 1 corn objective yield data indicate the second highest stalk count on record for the combined seven Objective Yield States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin). However, indicated ears per acre are at the lowest level since 1997. As of July 30, forty-two percent of the crop was rated good to excellent, a drop of 20 percentage points from the end of June and 22 percentage points behind a year ago. Very warm and dry weather in July increased stress on the corn crop in the eastern Corn Belt, while Iowa and Minnesota received timely rains. Temperatures in Nebraska, Kansas, and the Dakotas were very hot during the important pollination stage. Therefore, ears in these States didn't fill or fully develop to varying degrees. Higher yields are forecast in Michigan with the State rebounding from last year's drought. Also, yields are forecast to be higher in Colorado as more higher yielding irrigated acres are expected to be harvested for grain when compared to normal. Corn planting progress was slow in the southern, central, and eastern Corn Belt, as storms were frequent in the lower Missouri, middle Mississippi, and Ohio River Valleys. Favorable conditions allowed planting to progress much faster in the northern and western Corn Belt, Great Plains, Southeast, and Altantic Coastal Plain. Throughout most of May, corn planting was 2-4 weeks behind normal across the southern Corn Belt. However, planting was near complete, ahead of the 5-year average, by late May in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and the Dakota's. Germination and emergence were hampered throughout the Corn Belt by excessive moisture in the east and by cooler weather in the west. Warmer, drier weather in June allowed conditions to improve. Sorghum: The first production forecast for the 2002 crop year is 380 million bushels, down 26 percent from 2001. If realized, this will be the lowest production since 1956. Based on August 1 conditions, the sorghum yield is forecast at 50.3 bushels per acre, down 9.6 bushels from last year. Yield decreases are expected in 9 of the top 11 producing States, mainly in the western part of the growing area. Kansas, the leading sorghum producer, is expecting a yield of 48, fourteen bushels lower than last year. Texas, the second leading sorghum producer, expects a yield of 46, four bushels below last year. Sorghum planted for all purposes in 2002 is estimated at 9.29 million acres, unchanged from the June estimate. Acreage expected to be harvested for grain, at 7.55 million acres, is down 5 percent from the June estimate and down 12 percent from the 2001 harvested acreage. Kansas producers expect to harvest 3.10 million acres for grain, down 650,000 acres from 2001. Colorado producers expect to harvest 150,000 acres for grain, which is down 70,000 acres from a year ago. The central Great Plains and High Plains were experiencing extremely dry conditions, resulting in higher than normal abandonment and forage uses. Texas expects to harvest 2.60 million acres, up 200,000 from June, due to the favorable growing conditions. Sorghum development progressed near normal during July, with 49 percent at or beyond the heading stage and 22 percent turning color on July 28. Above-normal temperatures accelerated development in the central and northern Great Plains and Corn Belt, but increasing moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth, especially in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Meanwhile, cooler than normal weather slowed progress in the southern Great Plains. In the lower Mississippi Valley, fields rapidly entered the heading stage early in the month, and quickly approached maturity near the end of the month. As of the week ending July 28, twenty-four percent of the sorghum crop was rated good to excellent. This is 14 percentage points lower than a year earlier, due to dry conditions in central Great Plains and High Plains areas. Oats: Production for 2002 is forecast at 143 million bushels, 3 percent less than the July 1 forecast, but 22 percent above last year's 117 million bushels. Area for harvest is estimated at 2.63 million acres, unchanged from July 1, but 38 percent more than last year. The forecasted yield is 54.2 bushels per acre, 1.9 bushels below the July 1 forecast and down 7.1 bushels from 2001. If realized, this would be the lowest yield since 1991. Hot weather promoted rapid biological development in the Great Plains and Corn Belt during most of the month. However, increasing moisture shortages limited vegetative growth in some areas, especially along the western edge of the Corn Belt and through most of the central and northern High Plains. Hot, dry weather also limited crop potential in the central and eastern Corn Belt, Pacific Northwest, and Northeast. Meanwhile, many fields in the upper Mississippi Valley and northern Red River Valley were damaged by excessive rain and flooding. Barley: Production for 2002 is forecast at 252 million bushels, down 5 percent from the July forecast, but 1 percent above 2001. Based on August 1 conditions, producers expect to harvest an average of 55.9 bushels per acre, down 3.1 bushels from July and down 2.3 bushels from last year. Area harvested, at 4.50 million acres, is unchanged from the July estimate, but up 210,000 acres from 2001. Declines in yield and production were concentrated on the northern Great Plains States of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Three States outside the northern Great Plains, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Utah also posted declines. Hot and dry conditions during July brought about the decline in yield and production prospects for the barley crop. By July 28, Idaho, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Washington crop progress was equal to or ahead of the 5 year average, but Montana lagged behind the average. Above normal temperatures promoted rapid biological development across the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest during most of the month. However, moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth, especially in South Dakota. Barley condition on July 28 was rated 78 percent fair to good for the 5 major producing States. Winter Wheat: Acres harvested for grain are forecast at 29.8 million, unchanged from last month, but down 5 percent from last year. Harvest progress in the 18 major producing States had reached 88 percent complete by July 28. This is 1 percentage point ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Hard Red Winter (HRW) harvest was virtually complete in the central and southern Great Plains. Harvest was complete in most Soft Red Winter (SRW) States. Forecasted head counts from the Objective Yield surveys in the six HRW States (Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas) are virtually unchanged from last month while weight per head is down slightly. Head count forecasts are below average in Colorado, Kansas, and Texas. Montana and Nebraska have above average head counts, while counts are near normal in Oklahoma. Drought conditions in Colorado and Nebraska have led to near record low head weights. Forecasted head weights are also below average in Kansas and Montana, where the crop has also been hampered by dry conditions. Harvest went smoothly in Colorado, reaching completion about 2 weeks ahead of normal. Harvest was nearly complete in South Dakota by the end of July, far ahead of the 5-year average. Harvest revealed yields much lower than previously expected in Indiana, due largely to excessive moisture during the flowering stage. In contrast, growers in Delaware and Maryland recorded higher than expected yields. Record yields are forecast in Maryland and Pennsylvania. Collective head counts in the SRW Objective Yield States (Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio) are about the same as last month and far above average. Collective head weights are lower than last month and well below average. The Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) experienced hot, dry weather throughout July. In Idaho, temperatures during July were extremely hot and very little rain was received. Winter wheat conditions in Oregon continued to decline during the month. Harvested yields in Washington are much lower than previously expected. Durum Wheat: Area harvested for grain is forecast at 2.69 million acres, unchanged from last month, but down 3 percent from last year. With the exception of the northeast and north central districts, most of North Dakota has received below normal precipitation during the growing season. As of July 28, thirty-seven percent of the North Dakota crop was rated good to excellent, 26 points lower than the beginning of July. Other Spring Wheat: Area harvested for grain is forecast at 15.2 million acres, unchanged from last month, but up 4 percent from last year. Acreage was 15 percent harvested as of August 4 in the six major producing States, 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Harvest had begun in all six States. Spotty frost and hail damage has been reported in Idaho, but should not significantly impact the statewide yield. Heavy rainfall in Minnesota has resulted in some drowned out areas, uneven stands, and heavy weed infestation. Weather conditions during July in Montana were almost a complete opposite of June. During the month of July, Montana experienced very hot conditions with temperatures routinely over 100 degrees and most days in the 90 degree range. Condition ratings in North Dakota declined during July due to persistent hot, dry weather. Peanuts: Production is forecast at 4.11 billion pounds, down 4 percent from last year's crop, but 26 percent above 2000. Area for harvest is expected to total 1.43 million acres, 1 percent above the June estimate and up 1 percent from 2001. Yields are expected to average 2,885 pounds 144 pounds below last year, but up 441 pounds from 2000. Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina) is expected to total 2.41 billion pounds, down 5 percent from last year's level. Expected acreage for harvest, at 849,500 acres, is up 6 percent from the previous year. Yields in the four-State area are expected to average 2,835 pounds per acre, 300 pounds below 2001. As of July 28, peanut development in Alabama was 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average with 84 percent of the acreage rated in fair to good condition. In Georgia, crop development was 2 percentage points ahead normal, and condition on July 28 was 79 percent fair to good. The peanut crop in Florida and South Carolina was rated mostly fair to good. The Virginia-North Carolina production is forecast at 448 million pounds, down 24 percent from 2001. Area for harvest is expected to total 158,000 acres, down 20 percent from the previous year. Yield is forecast at 2,837 pounds, down 157 pounds from last year. As of July 28, the Virginia peanut crop rated 86 percent fair to good. North Carolina's peanuts crop was rated 84 percent fair to good. Development of the peanut crop in Virginia was 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average on July 28. Development in North Carolina was 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. The Southwest peanut production (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) is expected to total 1.26 billion pounds, up 8 percent from 2001. The region's acreage for harvest, at 418,000 acres, is 2 percent above the 2001 level. Harvested acres in Texas were increased from 310,000 acres to 330,000 acres. Beneficial rainfall on dryland peanuts will lead to less abandonment. Yields are expected to average 3,005 pounds for the region, 168 pounds above 2001. Seventy-three percent of the Texas crop was rated in good to excellent condition on July 28. Development of Texas peanuts was 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average on July 28. Rice: Production is forecast at 206 million cwt, down 3 percent from 2001, but 8 percent above 2000. Area for harvest is expected to total 3.23 million acres, unchanged from the June acreage estimate, but down 3 percent from last year. Rice plantings, at 3.25 million acres, were also unchanged from the June estimate. Yields are forecast at 6,393 pounds per acre, down 36 pounds from 2001. As of July 28, crop development was ahead of normal in all rice producing States (Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas). Forty-eight percent of the rice was headed compared with the 5-year average of 41 percent. Rice harvest is underway in Louisiana and Texas. Crop condition was rated at 82 percent fair to good across the rice producing States. Soybeans: Revised area planted at 73.0 million acres, is up slightly from June, but down 1 percent from 2001. Survey data indicated Illinois farmers planted 100,000 more soybean acres, but Ohio's planted area was reduced 50,000 acres. U.S. farmers expect to harvest 72.0 million acres, unchanged from June Acreage Report, but down 1 percent from last year. Planting of the 2002 soybean crop was nearly complete by June 23. Ninety-seven percent had been planted by June 23, compared to 95 percent a year ago and the average. Planting in most States was ahead of normal at the end of June. However, planting in the eastern Corn Belt lagged behind normal during the month of June. In the seven major soybean producing States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio), the average planting date was 5 days behind last year, but the same as 1998 and 1999. As of July 28, forty-five percent of the soybean crop was rated good to excellent, 15 percentage points less than the same week in 2001. During July, moisture shortages limited growth in the western Corn Belt, central Great Plains, Ohio Valley, and Atlantic Coast States. Above normal temperatures accelerated development across most of the Nation, but below normal temperatures limited progress in southern Great Plains and Mississippi Delta. By the end of July, 76 percent of the crop was blooming, the same as last year, but 1 percentage point behind the average. Thirty-four percent of the acreage was setting pods, 1 percentage point behind last year, but equal to the 5-year average. Acreage blooming and setting pods were most advanced in Arkansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Tennessee. Yield declines are forecast in most the Objective Yield States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio). Large decreases from last year are expected in Indiana and Nebraska, while higher yields are expected in Iowa and Minnesota. Of the twenty-two non-Objective Yield States, yields in fourteen States are expected to be lower than in 2001. Large decreases are expected in Kansas, Kentucky, and Virginia. Higher yields are expected in Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wisconsin. Cotton: Upland cotton growers planted 14.1 million acres, down 9 percent from a year ago. Growers are expected to harvest 12.8 million acres, down 5 percent from 2001. American-Pima cotton producers planted 264,500 acres, down 5,500 acres from last year. Expected harvested area, at 263,400 acres, is down 2 percent from last year. Cotton farmers in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia) rated the condition of the cotton as mostly fair to good. Development has been ahead of average, especially in Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. Ideal planting conditions allowed growers to plant early. Abnormally dry, hot summer weather, however, has stressed the crop across Virginia and the Carolinas. Upland growers in the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee) experienced unseasonably cool temperatures during May and delayed planting well into June, primarily in Tennessee. Farther south, producers had ideal planting weather until early May when rain delayed planting for a couple of weeks. June had above normal temperatures which allowed the cotton development to catch up to near average levels. Cooler temperatures and rain boosted crop condition in early July. Upland cotton producers in Texas and Oklahoma were able to plant most of their cotton at near normal pace. Lack of precipitation on the High Plains delayed some seeding due to excessively dry fields. Hot, dry conditions prevailed throughout June and July. Irrigated fields responded well to the weather, but non-irrigated acres wilted and some stands were abandoned or replanted to alternative crops. Hail storms also wiped out limited acreage in the High Plains. Upland cotton planting in California and Arizona progressed ahead of average and wrapped up by the later part of May. Excellent growing conditions allowed the crop to develop ahead of average, especially in Arizona. Producers have rated their cotton crop in mostly good to excellent condition throughout the season. American-Pima production is forecast at 689,000 bales, down 2 percent from last year's output. The decrease in production is attributed to a decrease in acreage. The U.S. Pima yield is forecast at 1,256 pounds per harvested acre, slightly above the previous year. California growers are expected to yield a record high 1,300 pounds per acre. Ginnings totaled 55,600 running bales prior to August 1, compared with 99,000 running bales ginned prior to the same date last year and 244,750 running bales in 2000. Dry Beans: Dry edible bean production is forecast at 27.2 million cwt in 2002, up 39 percent from last year and 3 percent above two years ago. This is the largest dry bean crop since 1999 when production was 33.1 million cwt. This increase is a rebound from last year's drought reduced production in eastern and central States. Acreage adjustments since the June Acreage Report raised planted acreage estimates 1 percent but reduced harvested expectations by 3 percent. Planted area is now estimated at 1.87 million acres, 31 percent above last year and 7 percent greater than two years ago. This large planted acreage increase is directly related to the high prices growers received for last year's crop. Harvested acreage is forecast at 1.69 million acres, up 36 percent from last year and 5 percent above 2000. The average U.S. yield is forecast at 1,609 pounds per acre, a gain of 37 pounds from last year but 34 pounds less than two years ago. New York and the midwestern States, especially Michigan, are looking for favorable dry bean crops after last year's drought. Yields are expected to be down in most Plains States where hot weather has reduced pod set. With the exception of Oregon, western States are experiencing favorable growing seasons. Production is expected to be above last year in 12 of the 18 producing States. These increases are mostly a result of higher acreage, and better growing conditions in Michigan and New York. Michigan's production forecast is up more than fivefold. North Dakota's prospects are up 52 percent. New York expects a 71 percent gain and Washington growers look for a 49 percent increase. Minnesota's dry bean crop should be up 38 percent from a year ago. Increases in other States range from 24 percent in Idaho, to 20 percent in Wisconsin and Wyoming. Michigan's beans got off to a good start and have been aided by late July rains. Heavy July rains flooded additional acreage in North Dakota and Minnesota, further reducing their harvested acres. North Dakota beans are later than normal. The season is also late in New York with variable growing conditions. However, crop conditions are significantly better than last year when drought reduced the crop. Farther west, hot, dry weather hurt dry beans across the southern Rockies and into the Plains States. Production is down this year in Nebraska, South Dakota, New Mexico, and Oregon. Dryland acres in Utah and Colorado are under extreme stress and many have been abandoned. U.S. planted acres of black, navy, and pinto beans are up 106 percent, 58 percent, and 46 percent from last year, respectively. Limas beans are up 68 percent for baby and 28 percent for large. Kidney beans are up 2 percent for light and 19 percent for dark. Pink and small red acreages are up 75 and 69 percent, respectively. Garbanzo acreage has fallen 46 percent because of low prices. Great northern acreage is down 9 percent, cranberry and small white are down 21 and 22 percent, respectively, while blackeyes are off 1 percent. Pinto beans make up 43 percent of planted dry bean acreage this year; navies account for 18 percent; blacks 10 percent; kidney beans combine for 8 percent; and great northern have slipped to 5 percent. The remaining 16 percent are distributed among the other classes. Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Production is forecast at 74.6 million tons, down 7 percent from last year. Yields are expected to average 3.09 tons, down 0.28 ton from last year. Harvested area is 24.1 million acres, unchanged from the June estimate, but up 1 percent from 2001. The decrease in yields, compared to 2001, is due to the poor growing conditions experienced in most areas of the country during July. The yield in all but 6 States is at or below last year's level. Growers in the central and northern Great Plains are experiencing severe drought conditions. Yields in Kansas are down 1.2 tons from last year, while yields in North and South Dakota are down 1.0 tons from last year. Other Hay: The first production forecast for 2002 is 78.0 million tons, up 2 percent from 2001. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 1.92 tons per acre, down slightly from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 40.6 million acres, unchanged from the June estimate, but up 2 percent from 2001. Drought and excessive heat continued to adversely affect the hay crop in the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado, with all expecting yield decreases from last year. Above-normal temperatures and only isolated showers in the Southeast and Atlantic Coast States have reduced expected yields when compared to last year. Tobacco: U.S. all tobacco production for 2002 is forecast at 922 million pounds, down 7 percent from 2001 and 12 percent below 2000. If realized, this will be the smallest crop since 1908. Revised area for harvest in 2002 is forecast at 435,460 acres, up 1 percent from 2001. Yields for 2002 are expected to average 2,117 pounds per acre, 176 pounds lower than a year ago. Yield prospects in North Carolina, the leading tobacco producing State, are averaging lower than last year by 243 pounds. Kentucky, the second leading State, expects yields to average 41 pounds lower than a year ago. Flue-cured production is expected to total 534 million pounds, up 1 percent from the previous forecast but down 8 percent from 2001. Growers plan to harvest 248,800 acres in 2002, up 4 percent from last year. Yields are expected to average 2,144 pounds per acre, up 12 pounds from the July 1 forecast but 288 pounds lower than the previous year. Timely rainfall in North Carolina's eastern coastal region, the State's largest producing area, contributed to the increase from July 1. Dry weather and the tomato spotted wilt virus, particularly in the Carolinas and Georgia, have stressed the crop, causing lower expected yields than last year. Fire-cured production is expected to total 32.3 million pounds, down 29 percent from 2001. Growers plan to harvest 11,000 acres, 25 percent below a year ago. The expected average yield is 2,932 pounds per acre, 164 pounds lower than the previous year. Burley production is expected to total 327 million pounds, 2 percent below a year ago. Yields are expected to average 2,022 pounds per acre, down 11 pounds from 2001. Burley growers plan to harvest 161,500 acres, 2 percent below a year ago. Kentucky's acreage, at 104,000, is 1 percent below last year. Dry weather and disease pressure, particularly black shank and blue mold, have caused increased stress on the tobacco crop. Southern Maryland Belt tobacco production is expected to total 4.85 million pounds, down 9 percent from 2001. Average yields are expected to decrease 3 pounds from last year. A total of 3,000 acres is expected to be harvested this year, down 9 percent from 2001. Dark air-cured production is expected to total 10.4 million pounds, down 26 percent from 2001. Growers plan to harvest 3,960 acres, 22 percent less than last year. Yields are expected to average 2,623 pounds per acre, down 159 pounds from last year. All Cigar types production is expected to total 14.3 million pounds, up 5 percent from last year. Overall yield is expected to average 1,984 pounds per acre, up 37 pounds from 2001. Growers of Cigar type tobacco plan to harvest 7,200 acres, 3 percent above a year ago. Sugarbeets: Production for 2002 is forecast at 27.6 million tons. If realized, this would be 7 percent above last year's production. Growers in the 12 sugarbeet-producing States expect to harvest 1.35 million acres, 1 percent less than the June estimate, but 9 percent more than last year. The yield is forecast at 20.4 tons per acre, 0.3 ton below 2001. Fields in the northern Red River Valley experienced plant damage due to a frost in late-May and excessive rain and flooding in July. In addition, many fields suffered due to frequent strong winds and weed pressure. In the central and northern High Plains, hot, dry weather and irrigation restrictions limited vegetative growth during July. Crop prospects remained good in Idaho, despite abnormally high replanting in May and isolated hail damage. In Michigan, near normal precipitation supported vegetative growth during July, but stands were spotty and uneven in many fields. Weed and disease pressures also limited crop potential in Michigan. Sugarcane: Production is forecast at 35.5 million tons, 3 percent above last year. Sugarcane growers intend to harvest 1.02 million acres for sugar and seed during the 2002 crop year, 1 percent less than last year's final harvested acres. Yield is forecast at 34.7 tons per acre, 1.1 ton above 2001. Ample rainfall supported rapid vegetative growth of most sugarcane fields along the Gulf Coast during June and July. Prunes and Plums: Production in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 15,200 tons, down 28 percent from last year and 36 percent below 2000. The Oregon forecast, at 7,000 tons, is down 22 percent from 2001 and 30 percent below 2000. Cold, wet weather conditions during pollination reduced fruit set for the 2002 season. Washington's forecast, at 6,000 tons, is up 7 percent from 2001 but 12 percent below 2000. Despite poor pollinating weather and frost that hurt Washington's prune and plum crop, production in 2002 is expected to be above last year's hail reduced crop. Idaho's expected production is 2,000 tons, down 33 percent from the 2001 crop and 43 percent below the 2000 production level. The 2002 Idaho prune and plum crop was damaged by frost in May which reduced fruit set. Michigan expects to produce 200 tons, down 94 percent from both the 2001 and 2000 crop seasons. The 2002 Michigan prune and plum crop was devastated by poor weather this spring. An above normal week of temperatures in April advanced bud development. This was followed by numerous frosts that killed flower buds and cold weather that hampered pollination. Papayas: Hawaii fresh papaya utilization is estimated at 3.14 million pounds for July, 11 percent higher than last month but 21 percent below a year ago. Area in crop totaled 2,270 acres, 3 percent higher than last month but 36 percent less than a year ago. Harvested area totaled 1,735 acres, virtually unchanged from last month but 14 percent below July 2001. Weather conditions in July were variable with scattered showers and sunshine over major papaya producing areas. Non-irrigated orchards have adequate soil moisture. Hops: Hop production in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 56.4 million pounds, down 16 percent from last year and 17 percent less than the 2000 crop. Acreage strung for harvest, at 29,282 acres, is 18 percent below 2001 and 19 percent less than two years ago. Most of the drop in this year's acreage can be attributed to a voluntary acreage reduction program in Washington. Yield is estimated at 1,927 pounds per acre for the Pacific Northwest, 66 pounds more than 2001 and 56 pounds above 2000. Washington's yield is forecast at 2,040 pounds per acre, 112 pounds more than last year. Oregon's yield is forecast at 1,750 pounds per acre, down 125 pounds from 2001. In Idaho, yields are expected to average 1,540 pounds per acre, 211 pounds higher than a year ago. Only Idaho is forecasting an increase in total production over the 2001 crop. In Washington, hop conditions and development have been mostly normal to above normal. Drought and water acquisition are not concerns this season. Harvest is expected to be underway by August 15 and in full swing by the end of the month. Cool, wet, and windy spring conditions coupled with a significant increase in unstrung and untreated hop yards, were very conducive to powdery mildew development. However, growers were proactive and began their treatments early enough to keep the spread of powdery mildew to a minimum. As the temperatures increased in July, few problems persisted. In Oregon, crop growth was slightly behind this season, due to cool spring temperatures. As the summer progressed, some varieties caught up with normal development, while some remain behind. Conditions in Idaho have been good this year with adequate water and hot, dry weather. There could be some crop stress if the hot weather persists. Olives: The 2002 California olive crop is forecast at 90,000 tons, 33 percent below the previous year's crop of 134,000 tons but 70 percent above the 2000 production. Due to the alternate bearing nature of olives, the decrease was expected. Weather conditions also contributed to a smaller crop. Many groves encountered cold weather just as buds were forming on the trees. Growers expect the Manzanillo variety to account for 71 percent of the total production. The Servillano variety is expected to contribute 17 percent. The Ascolano variety is expected to be 6 percent of production while the Mission variety is expected to be 2 percent. All Other varieties make up the difference. Peaches: The August 2002 forecast of U.S. peach production is 2.53 billion pounds, 1 percent below the July forecast but 4 percent above 2001. Michigan decreased their expectations for the 2002 crop from 14.0 million pounds to 13.0 million pounds. South Carolina also decreased their production forecast by 20.0 million pounds to 140.0 million. Washington increased their forecast to 55.0 million from 50.0 million pounds, while New Jersey and Pennsylvania were unchanged from July at 65.0 million and 60.0 million pounds, respectively. The peach crop in Michigan was adversely affected by multiple spring frosts. A week of warm weather in April advanced bud development. The warm week was followed by numerous frosts that killed flower buds and cold weather that hampered bee activity. Drought since the July forecast has further dampened an already dismal crop. During July, the New Jersey peach crop experienced generally favorable growing conditions. The Pennsylvania peach crop looks good but is in need of rain. The Plum Pox virus is being monitored closely but only small acreage has been taken out of production this year. Dry weather in South Carolina has continued to reduce fruit size and erode yields from a peach crop which early in the season was expected to be the largest in a few years. Generally good weather during July in Washington's peach growing areas has increased crop prospects. The U.S. Freestone crop, as of August 1, is forecast at 1.48 billion pounds, virtually unchanged from 2001 but 4 percent below 2000. The California Freestone crop stands at 830 million pounds, up 7 percent from last year and 5 percent above 2000. California's Clingstone crop is 1.05 billion pounds, 10 percent above last year but 1 percent below the 2000 season. Apples: The first production forecast for the 2002 crop year is 9.21 billion pounds, down 4 percent from last year and 14 percent below 2000. Decreased production in the Eastern and Central States more than offset projected increases in the Western States. The Western States (AZ, CA, CO, ID, OR, UT, WA) production is forecast at 6.40 billion pounds, up 5 percent from 2001 but down 10 percent from 2000. Washington, which makes up 60 percent of the U.S. forecast, is expecting 5.50 billion pounds of apples, up 8 percent from 2001 but down 8 percent from two years ago. Development of the apple crop in Washington is progressing well after the State experienced a late spring and less than optimal weather during pollination. Despite the losses in crop size from weather this year, the 2001 crop season had heavier weather related losses. Colorado and Arizona are the only other Western States forecasting increased production from last year. All of the other Western States reported decreased production from the 2001 crop year. Factors causing the decrease in production are cited as a late frost, a cool, late spring with poor weather for pollination, and dry summer time conditions. Production in the Eastern States (CT, GA, ME, MD, MA, NH, NJ, NY, NC, PA, RI, SC, VT, VA, WV) is forecast at 1.95 billion pounds, down 16 percent from last season and 18 percent below 2000. Production decreased for all of the Eastern States except for Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Rhode Island and Maine. New York's production forecast at 720 million pounds was down 28 percent from both last year and 2000. Pennsylvania expects production to be 470 million pounds, down 2 percent from last season. Virginia's production, at 250 million pounds, is down 19 percent from 2001. A cool spring with heavy frost damage affected most of the Eastern States. Some States also reported hail and drought as factors limiting crop size. The South Atlantic States were not hampered as much by the cool spring or frost and are rebounding from last year's low production. Production in the Central States (AR, IL, IN, IA, KS, KY, MI, MN, MO, OH, TN, WI) is forecast at 860 million pounds, down 30 percent from last season and 26 percent below 2000. Michigan's forecast was decreased by 37 percent from 2001 and down 31 percent from 2000. All of the Central States except Kansas and Arkansas are forecasting decreases in production from last year due to a cool, wet spring with damaging late frosts followed by dry conditions in the summer. Pears: U.S. pear production for 2002 is forecast at 944,550 tons, down 6 percent from last year and 2 percent below 2000. Bartlett pear production for California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 510,000 tons, 1 percent higher than the June forecast but 7 percent less than a year ago. Other pear production in the Pacific Coast States is expected to total 415,000 tons, 5 percent below last year and 1 percent less than 2000. Bartlett production for California is forecast at 260,000 tons, unchanged from the June forecast but 5 percent below 2001. Pears in the Linden district suffered some hail damage. In the Sacramento River district, fruit is not sizing up to expectations. In other growing regions, production appears to be heavy, though there are some concerns about codling moth worms in Mendocino County. For most areas, quality has been reported as good to excellent. Production in Oregon is forecast at 70,000 tons, unchanged from the previous forecast and the same as the previous year. Late frost in Oregon had minimal affect in most locations. In Washington, Bartlett production is forecast at 180,000 tons, a 3 percent increase from the June forecast but 10 percent lower than last year. Irrigation supplies are not a concern this year as snow pack and rainfall amounts have been adequate. Harvest is expected to begin mid-August. Other pear production in California is forecast at 30,000 tons, unchanged from both 2001 and 2000. Harvesting of Bosc and Hosui pears is underway. The development of the Asian pear crop is reported good. In Oregon, other pear production is forecast at 160,000 tons, unchanged from both last year and 2000. Production in Washington is forecast at 225,000 tons, 9 percent below a year ago and 2 percent below 2000. Freezing temperatures near the end of April and early May caused damage to the Bosc pears in Okanogan county. The pear crop in New York is forecast at 10,000 tons, down 9 percent from last year and 31 percent less than two years ago. Frost following an extremely warm spell in mid-April caused varying degrees of damage. Pennsylvania pear production is forecast at 5,300 tons, 4 percent below last year but 15 percent above the 2000 crop. The Michigan pear crop is forecast at 1,000 tons, down 78 percent from 2001 and 81 percent below 2000. Michigan's crop was severely damaged by late spring frost and cold weather that hampered bee activity during pollination. It was further reduced by drought in July. Production in Connecticut is forecast at 550 tons, 8 percent above the previous year. In Colorado, production is forecast at 2,400 tons, 26 percent above last year's crop but 20 percent below the 2000 crop. Colorado had no late frost on the Western Slopes, thereby increasing production. Pear production in Utah is forecast at 300 tons, equal to last year but only 50 percent of the 2000 crop. A frost on May 9 severely limited this year's production. Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is revised to 8.00 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2001-02 season, up 5 percent from the December 2001 estimate but down 8 percent from the previous crop year. A larger than expected harvest on Kauai more than offset downward revisions on all of the other islands. Poor weather conditions, tree removal, and lower prices all contributed to the decline in production from the previous season. Grapes: U.S. grape production is forecast at 7.10 million tons, up 8 percent from 2001 but 8 percent below 2000. California leads the U.S. in grape production with 92 percent of the total. Washington and New York are the next largest producing States, with 4 percent and 2 percent, respectively. California's all grape forecast, at 6.52 million tons, is down 2 percent from the July forecast but 9 percent above 2001. Washington expects to harvest 315,000 tons, up 11 percent from 2001. New York's forecast, at 135,000 tons, is 9 percent below last year. California's wine type grape production is expected to total 3.20 million tons, 49 percent of California's total grape crop. The production forecast for wine type varieties is down 3 percent from July but 5 percent above 2001. The wine grape harvest is expected to begin in early to mid-August in the San Joaquin Valley, 7 to 10 days behind last year. Excellent quality is expected. California's raisin type grape production is forecast at 2.55 million tons, 39 percent of California's total grape crop. Production of raisin varieties is unchanged from the July forecast but up 16 percent from last year. Thompson Seedless variety grapes are currently being picked for fresh use in the San Joaquin Valley. Quality is reported to be very good. Production of table type grapes is forecast at 770,000 tons, 12 percent of the total California crop. The table type production forecast is the same as July but 8 percent above last season. Picking is active in the San Joaquin Valley with good color and quality reported. Beauty Seedless, Black Emerald, and Fantasy are some of the varieties being harvested. Washington's production is forecast at 315,000 tons, up 11 percent from 2001. Production of both juice and wine varieties is expected to increase. Wine grape production is forecast at a record high 115,000 tons, 15 percent greater than last year. This increase is due mainly to additional bearing acres. The juice type grape forecast, at 200,000 tons, is 9 percent above last season. Weather conditions during the blooming period were generally good. Grape production for New York is forecast at 135,000 tons, down 9 percent from 2001. Unseasonably warm temperatures in mid-April followed by a series of freezes resulted in damage in most of the major growing areas. The Chautauqua-Erie grape belt, a major Concord grape producing area, experienced significant frost damage. In the Finger Lakes region, damage to the crop appears to be highly variable depending on location. Despite the frost damage, fruit set in the Finger Lakes was generally good. Grape development on Long Island appears to be normal with minimal disease and insect pressure. Pennsylvania's grape production is forecast at 45,000 tons, down 27 percent from 2001. Freezing temperatures in late May did extensive damage to the grape crop in some areas of Erie county. There were a few reports of a complete crop loss. Michigan's grape production is forecast at 20,000 tons, down 31 percent from 2001. Unusually warm weather in early April, followed by freezing temperatures later in the month resulted in extensive damage to juice grape buds. Secondary buds were damaged by additional frosts in early May. Wine grapes, with later bloom times, were not impacted as severely. Ginger Root: Hawaii ginger root production for the 2001-02 season is estimated at 14.4 million pounds, down 20 percent from the previous season. Harvested acreage decreased 11 percent to 320 acres. Average yield decreased 5,000 pounds from the previous season to 45,000 pounds per harvested acre. Untimely rains, disease, and low prices all contributed to the drop in production from the previous season. Florida Citrus: During July, virtually all of the State's citrus belt received above average rainfall as showers and thunderstorms occurred several times each week in most groves. Caretakers in groves with excessive moisture were busy deep plowing and ditching to move water away from trees. Well cared for groves have an abundance of new foliage due to the July rainfall. New crop fruit continues to make good progress. Oranges are golf ball size and larger, grapefruit are generally in the softball size range. Temples are golf ball size with some normal late bloom in many of the trees. Most tangerines are about golf ball size. Harvest of the 2001-02 crop was virtually complete, with only the late bloom fruit being harvested for fresh juice operations. Caretakers were very active during the month mowing, chopping, and discing cover crops that grew rapidly with the help of the summer rains. Hedging, topping, and burning of dead trees and limbs have been reported in all areas. Fertilizers and herbicides were being applied in all areas. Resets were being planted in the larger groves with very few new groves being planted. California Citrus: Citrus orchards were irrigated, fertilized, and treated for pests. The Valencia orange harvest slowed. Picking of lemons was active in the south coast area. Grapefruit harvest was in full swing in Riverside. California Noncitrus Fruits and Nuts: Fruit growers conducted summer cultural activities that included weed control, fungicide applications, and irrigation of trees and vines. Picking of many fruit crops was active during July. Table grape harvest continued as more vineyards reached maturity, but high temperatures in early July led to some concern about burn in susceptible varieties. Varieties picked and packed included Black Corinth and Beauty Seedless. Raisin and wine type grapes showed excellent fruit development. A steady harvest of stone fruit varieties continued as late varieties reached maturity by month's end. Gala variety apple harvest began in the Firebaugh district during the last week of July. Bartlett pear harvest was active in the Sacramento delta area and the San Joaquin Valley. Picking of Clingstone peaches continued. Pomegranates, apples, persimmons and Asian pears showed good development throughout the month. Harvest of apricots, blueberries, plums, pluots, and figs remained steady. Strawberry harvest continued in the Central Coast counties; patches were topped off or cleared in preparation for fall planting. Olive growers used fruit fly treatments where necessary. Almond hull split was observed in some orchards by mid-month. Walnuts were treated for weeds, blight, and codling moth. Reliability of August 1 Crop Production Forecast Survey Procedures: Objective Yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between July 25 and August 6 to gather information on expected yield as of August 1. The Objective Yield surveys for corn, cotton, soybeans, and wheat were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for about 75 percent of the U.S. production. Farm operators were interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected fields for the Objective Yield survey (corn, cotton, soybeans, and wheat). The counts made within each sample plot 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 ears, bolls, pods, or heads and their weight. The counts are used with similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The 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 22,000 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield. These growers will be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields as the season progresses. Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared to previous months 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 analyses to prepare the published August 1 forecasts. Revision Policy: The August 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks, production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant changes. Estimates of planted acres for spring planted crops are subject 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 has changed since the last estimate. Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the August 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error", a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the August 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the latest 20-year period is computed. 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 8.3 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 8.3 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 14.3 percent. Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 382 million bushels, ranging from 16 million bushels to 1.09 billion bushels. The August 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 10 times and above 10 times. This does not imply that the August 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
