July Weather Summary Untimely heat expanded across the Midwest and Northeast, halting pasture growth and stressing reproductive corn and soybeans. Patchy dryness accompanied the heat, further reducing summer crop yield potential in some areas. In the Midwest, some of the most extensive short-term dryness stretched from southern Iowa into central Indiana. Farther south, historically hot, dry conditions persisted in the south-central United States. Texas experienced its hottest, second-driest July on record, sharply aggravating the effects of a 10-month drought. The previous hottest month in Texas had occurred in July 1998, while the only drier July had been noted in 2000. It was also the hottest month on record in Oklahoma, breaking a record set in July 1954. By early August, more than 90 percent of the rangeland and pastures in both Oklahoma and Texas were rated in very poor to poor condition. Drought also persisted in much of the Southeast, although locally heavy showers provided some relief in the central Gulf Coast States and the southern Atlantic region. Nevertheless, hot weather and soil moisture shortages continued to stress some Southeastern pastures and rain-fed summer crops. Similarly, monsoon showers provided some limited relief to drought-affected areas in the Four Corners States. Elsewhere, mild, drier weather on the northern Plains promoted winter wheat maturation and spring wheat development, while cool, occasionally showery conditions lingered across the Far West. July Agricultural Summary July brought with it warmer than normal temperatures and limited rainfall to much of the United States, promoting rapid crop maturation while at the same time negatively impacting crop conditions and soil moisture levels. Most notably, monthly temperatures reached as many as 10 degrees above average in portions of the southern Great Plains where the majority of summer row crops and many small grains were stressed by triple-digit heat and little to no rainfall. Conversely, temperatures along the Pacific Coast were near to below normal. While portions of the northern Great Plains, Great Lakes region, and areas along the Gulf Coast accumulated 6 or more inches of rainfall during the month, coastal regions in California, as well as much of Texas received less than 25 percent of their normal precipitation. Despite favorable weather conditions across much of the major corn-producing area during July, development of the Nation's crop remained behind both last year and normal due to a sluggish planting pace earlier in the season. Six percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the silking stage by July 3, with progress evident in a limited number of States. Near-normal temperatures throughout the Corn Belt promoted silking progress of 27 percentage points or more in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri during the week ending July 17. By July 24, nine percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the dough stage, 7 percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Continued warm temperatures and adequate soil moisture levels provided nearly ideal growing conditions for reproductive corn toward month's end. As the month ended, 83 percent of the crop was silking, 18 percent was at or beyond the dough stage, and denting was underway in seven of the 18 major estimating States. Overall, 62 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 69 percent on July 3 and 71 percent from the same time last year. By July 3, sorghum producers had planted 97 percent of this year's crop, slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Heading was underway in a limited number of States. Hot temperatures in the southern Great Plains promoted a rapid crop maturity pace. With activity limited to Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, 24 percent of the sorghum crop was at or beyond the coloring stage by July 10, ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Triple-digit temperatures had many sorghum producers in Kansas irrigating their fields as much as water supplies allowed, while some fields in the Edwards Plateau region of Texas were abandoned due to prolonged drought stress. As July ended, 42 percent of the sorghum crop was headed, 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Head development in Kansas was a week behind normal as hot temperatures and dry soils negatively impacted crop growth. Nationwide, coloring had advanced to 28 percent complete by July 31, with 23 percent of this year's crop at or beyond the maturity stage. In Texas, scorching temperatures helped to quickly mature portions of the sorghum crop, leaving progress well ahead of both last year and normal, while at the same time causing a decline in crop conditions. Overall, 24 percent of the Nation's crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 36 percent on July 3 and 69 percent from the same time last year. As the month began, heading of the Nation's oat crop was behind both last year and normal due to delayed seeding and slow growth earlier in the season. With the exception of Texas, where heading was complete and harvest was nearly complete, head development was behind normal in all major estimating States. By July 24, ninety-five percent of the crop was at or beyond the heading stage, 4 percentage points behind both last year and the 5-year average. As July ended, oat producers had harvested 30 percent of this year's crop, 18 percentage points behind last year and 14 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 55 percent of the oat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 59 percent on July 3 and 76 percent from the same time last year. While seeding was complete in Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, and Washington, barley producers in North Dakota were still seeding their crop as July began. Nationally, 93 percent of the crop was emerged by July 3, with the most significant delay evident in North Dakota, where unfavorable weather conditions not only limited seeding progress but slowed crop development as well. By July 17, fifty-three percent of the barley crop was at or beyond the heading stage in Montana, 38 percentage points behind normal. The latter half of July brought warmer temperatures to much of the Northern Tier, promoting increased crop development and maturation in many areas. By July 24, harvest was underway in the southwest region of Idaho. As the month ended, 92 percent of the barley crop was at or beyond the heading stage, 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 72 percent of the barley crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 76 percent on July 3 and 86 percent from the same time last year. Ninety-seven percent of the winter wheat crop was at or beyond the heading stage by July 3, on par with the 5-year average. Despite warmer temperatures promoting double-digit head development in Idaho, Montana, and Washington during the week ending July 3, progress remained well behind normal. Mostly sunny skies and dry weather allowed producers in several States ample time to harvest their crop. The harvest pace remained quick in many areas as July progressed, evidenced by producers in Indiana and Ohio harvesting 41 percent or more of their crop during the week ending July 10. While harvest was complete or nearly complete throughout much of the major winter wheat-producing region by July 24, harvest across the Northern Tier was just beginning. By the end of July, 81 percent of this year's winter wheat crop was harvested, with progress in Montana 20 days behind normal due to delayed seeding and slow crop development earlier in the season. Overall, 36 percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition when harvest surpassed the halfway point during the week ending July 3, 27 percentage points below the same time last year. Spring wheat emergence was 94 percent complete by July 3, over 3 weeks behind normal. With cool, wet weather dominating much of the Northern Tier throughout much of the growing season, heading of the spring wheat crop in Minnesota, Montana, and the Dakotas was 32 percentage points or more behind normal by July 3. Warmer temperatures promoted double-digit head development in most estimating States during mid-July; however, overall progress remained well behind both last year and normal. As the month ended, heading had advanced to 90 percent complete, 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. The most significant delay was evident in Montana, where heading was 21 percentage points behind normal. Overall, 70 percent of the spring wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, unchanged from ratings on July 3 but 12 percentage points below the same time last year. As July began, heading of this year's rice crop was slightly ahead of normal, with producers in California treating fields with herbicide to control weeds. Producers along the Upper Coast in Texas were preparing to harvest their fields. In Arkansas, favorable weather boosted crop conditions mid-month, while disease and insect presence negatively impacted some fields in Louisiana. As the month progressed, head development slowed and progress fell behind the 5-year average during the week ending July 24. By month's end, 47 percent of the Nation's rice crop was at or beyond the heading stage, 18 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 64 percent of the rice crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 60 percent on July 3 and 72 percent from the same time last year. Soybean emergence was 96 percent complete by July 3, on par with the 5-year average. Blooming was underway but behind both last year and normal due to late planting and adverse growing conditions in many areas throughout the spring and early summer. Warm, sunny weather promoted a rapid blooming pace as July progressed, with double-digit development evident in most States during each week throughout the month. By July 24, sixteen percent of the soybean crop was setting pods, 16 percentage points behind last year and 11 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Despite rapid phenological development, July ended with blooming and pod set behind both last year and normal. Overall, 60 percent of the soybean crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 66 percent on July 3 and 66 percent from the same time last year. As spotty rainfall helped to improve soil conditions in portions of the Southeast as July began, pegging of the peanut crop was 26 percent complete, well behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Peg development became easier and crop conditions improved in many of the major peanut-producing areas as additional rainfall helped to loosen hard-packed soils during mid-to late-July. Toward month's end, producers in Georgia were busy treating fields with fungicide to combat white mold. By July 31, pegging was 80 percent complete, 5 percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 43 percent of the peanut crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 30 percent on July 3 and 57 percent from the same time last year. Although some sunflower fields remained wet in North Dakota, improved weather conditions during early July allowed producers in the State time to complete some fieldwork, and by July 10, ninety-seven percent of the Nation's crop was planted, over one week behind normal. Despite warm temperatures across much of the South, squaring of this year's cotton crop was behind both last year and normal as July began. In Texas, poor seed germination and emergence of dryland fields in areas of the Plains left crop development behind normal. Bolls were setting on 20 percent of the Nation's crop by July 10, five percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As drought conditions worsened in areas of Texas, some dryland cotton fields in the Low Plains of Texas were abandoned, while some producers switched irrigation from corn to cotton to prepare the crop for boll set. Harvest was in full swing in the Coastal Bend and Lower Valley during the latter half of the month. By July 31, ninety percent of the cotton crop was at or beyond the squaring stage, 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Bolls were setting on 62 percent of this year's acreage, on par with the average. Overall, 30 percent of the cotton crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 28 percent on July 3 and 66 percent from the same time last year. Crop Comments Corn: The 2011 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 92.3 million acres, unchanged from the June estimate but up 5 percent from 2010. This represents the second highest planted acreage in the United States since 1944, behind only the 93.5 million acres planted in 2007. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 84.4 million acres, down less than 1 percent from June but up 4 percent from 2010. As of July 31, sixty-two percent of the corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition in the 18 major producing States, compared with 71 percent rated in these two categories last year at this time. Thirteen of the 18 States reported less acreage rated in good to excellent condition compared with the same time last year, with the largest declines reported in Kansas and Texas due to an extended drought and above normal temperatures. Planting got off to a slow start in 2011 due to unfavorable planting conditions across much of the major corn-producing region during April. Midwestern fieldwork remained at a virtual standstill during the middle of April due to heavy rains and lowland flooding in the central and eastern Corn Belt. During the final week of April, excessive rainfall continued to fall from eastern Oklahoma into the Mid-South and the lower Ohio Valley delaying planting in many locations, but some progress was made in the western Corn Belt. By May 1, only 13 percent of the acreage had been planted, compared with 66 percent planted at the same time last year and 40 percent for the 5-year average. Planting delays continued during early May throughout much of the Midwest, but mostly dry weather prompted fieldwork in the western Corn Belt States of Iowa and Nebraska. Planting conditions improved during May in most of the major corn-producing areas of the country, but delays continued in the eastern Corn Belt. By May 29, eighty-six percent of the intended corn acreage had been seeded, compared with 97 percent complete at the same time last year and 95 percent for the 5-year average. Planting was virtually complete by June 12. Warm weather and adequate soil moisture levels in many of the major corn-producing States provided nearly ideal growing conditions for emerging plants during the first half of June. By June 19, virtually all of the nation's corn acreage had emerged. Wet weather continued across most of the Midwest during the second half of June, maintaining abundant moisture reserves for corn. On the other hand, extremely dry conditions and above normal temperatures in the central and southern Plains caused severe stress to both irrigated and non-irrigated corn acreage. During the first half of July, warm weather, scattered showers, and abundant soil moisture promoted rapid crop development across the northern Plains and Midwest, while relentlessly hot, dry weather persisted in the south-central United States. As of July 17, thirty-five percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the silking stage. The latter part of the month saw above normal temperatures reported across much of the major corn-producing regions. Sorghum: Production is forecast at 241 million bushels, down 30 percent from last year. If realized, this will be the smallest production since 1956. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 4.39 million acres, down 4 percent from the previous forecast and down 9 percent from 2010. If realized, this will be the lowest harvested acreage level since 1936. Based on August 1 conditions, yield is forecast at 54.8 bushels per acre, down 17 bushels from last year. As of July 31, the sorghum crop was 42 percent headed, 9 points behind last year and 7 points behind average. Prolonged drought conditions and high temperatures in July have negatively impacted the crop throughout the Southern Plains. Forty-four percent of the crop was rated in very poor to poor condition compared with only 5 percent at this time last year. Oats: Production is forecast at 57.5 million bushels, 2 percent above the July 1 forecast but down 29 percent from 2010. If realized, this will be the lowest production on record, surpassing the previous record low set last year. Based on conditions as of August 1, the average yield for the United States is forecast at 61.6 bushels per acre, up 1.1 bushels from last month's forecast but down 2.7 bushels from 2010. Growers expect to harvest 934,000 acres for grain or seed, unchanged from the previous forecast but down 26 percent from last year. If realized, this will be the smallest harvested area on record, also surpassing the previous record low set last year. Compared with July 1, yield increases are expected in much of the Northern Great Plains as warm, drier weather aided the crop whose development had been running significantly behind normal due to late planting and prolonged wet conditions. However, yield decreases are expected in many of the Northeast States due to hot, dry weather. Overall, the oat crop has developed behind the normal pace in most of the nine major producing States, mainly due to excessively wet conditions throughout much of the growing season. As of July 31, thirty percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 18 points behind last year's pace and 14 points behind the 5-year average. Harvest progress was running considerably behind the 5-year average in all States except Texas, where harvest was completed slightly ahead of normal. On July 31, fifty-five percent of the oat crop in the nine major producing States was rated as good to excellent, compared with 76 percent last year. Barley: Production for 2011 is forecast at 168 million bushels, down 3 percent from the July forecast and 7 percent from 2010. Based on conditions as of August 1, the average yield for the United States is forecast at 70.4 bushels per acre, up 0.8 bushel from July but 2.7 bushels below last year's record high. Area harvested for grain or seed, at 2.39 million acres, is down 4 percent from the previous forecast and down 3 percent from 2010. If realized, this will be the smallest harvested area since 1881. While seeding was complete in Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, and Washington, barley producers in North Dakota were still seeding their crop as July began. Consequently, the most significant phenological delays were evident in North Dakota, where unfavorable weather conditions not only limited seeding progress but slowed crop development as well. The latter half of July brought warmer temperatures to much of the Northern Tier, promoting increased crop development and maturation in many areas. As the month ended, harvest was underway in portions of the major barley-producing region, but well behind the normal pace. Overall, 72 percent of the barley crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 31, compared with 76 percent on July 3 and 86 percent at the same time last year. Winter wheat: Production is forecast at 1.50 billion bushels, up slightly from the July 1 forecast and up 1 percent from 2010. Based on August 1 conditions, the United States yield is forecast at 46.3 bushels per acre, up 0.1 bushel from last month but down 0.5 bushel from last year. Expected grain area totals 32.3 million acres, up 2 percent from last year but unchanged from last month. Harvest in the 18 major producing States was 81 percent complete by July 31, two points behind last year and 5 points behind the 5-year average. Harvest was virtually complete by the end of July in all major Hard Red Winter (HRW) States except Montana and South Dakota, where harvest was 32 and 4 points behind normal, respectively. As the crop lagged behind normal crop development much of the growing season due to cool, wet spring conditions, harvest was just getting underway in Montana by July 31. Yield decreases from last month in the HRW growing areas are expected in the Northern Great Plains. As of July 31, harvest in the Soft Red Winter (SRW) growing area was complete in all major States except Michigan where progress was 10 points behind the 5-year average. Excellent growing conditions during the month in the Pacific Northwest States led to yield increases from the July forecast. However, harvest progress is running significantly behind normal in these States, ranging from 14 to 38 points behind the 5-year average. Record high yields are expected in Arkansas, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Durum wheat: Production is forecast at 57.1 million bushels, down 10 percent from July and down 47 percent from 2010. The United States yield is forecast at 42.4 bushels per acre, up 3.7 bushels from last month but unchanged from last year. Area harvested for grain is expected to total 1.35 million acres, down 18 percent from last month and down 47 percent from last year. Due to flooding and excessively wet conditions earlier in the season, crop development lags significantly behind normal in Montana and North Dakota, the two largest Durum-producing States. By July 31, heading in these States was 31 and 38 percentage points behind the 5-year average, respectively. Yield forecasts are unchanged from last month in all major producing States except North Dakota who experienced warm and mostly dry conditions during the month to help accelerate crop maturity. Other spring wheat: Production is forecast at 522 million bushels, down 5 percent from last month and down 15 percent from last year. The United States yield is forecast at 42.5 bushels per acre, up 0.8 bushel from last month but down 3.6 bushels from 2010. The expected area to be harvested for grain totals 12.3 million acres, down 7 percent from last month and down 8 percent from last year. Flooding and prolonged wet weather during the spring and early summer months slowed crop development in most States. In the six major producing States, 90 percent of the crop was at or beyond the heading stage of development by July 31, seven percentage points behind last year and 8 points behind the 5-year average. By month's end, harvest had begun in only South Dakota and Oregon. Yield increases are expected in the Pacific Northwest and North Dakota, as seasonal temperatures during July advanced crop maturity. Peanuts: Production is forecast at 3.61 billion pounds, down 13 percent from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 1.12 million acres, down slightly from June and 11 percent lower than 2010. Yields are expected to average 3,234 pounds per acre, down 77 pounds from last year. Many peanut-producing States continue to suffer from extreme drought conditions. In Oklahoma and Texas, where the drought is most extreme, the peanut crop is mostly irrigated and was faring relatively well compared with other crops. However, many growers in Texas were abandoning acreage due to high irrigation costs, and growers in Oklahoma were concerned over the availability of water. While drought conditions had improved in Alabama and Florida, crop development was behind normal in Georgia, the largest peanut-producing State, and growers were aggressively irrigating in an attempt to offset the high temperatures. Despite high temperatures in Virginia and North Carolina, timely showers have resulted in good crop development. As of July 31, forty-three percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 57 percent the same time last year. Pegging was at 80 percent, 5 percentage points behind last year and 3 points behind the 5-year average. Rice: Production is forecast at 188 million cwt, down 23 percent from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 2.64 million acres, down slightly from the June Acreage report and 27 percent lower than 2010. The average United States yield is forecast at 7,114 pounds per acre, up 389 pounds from last year. Harvest was underway by the end of July in Louisiana and Texas. While Louisiana growers welcomed the rain at the end of the month, it delayed harvest in some areas. In Texas, the rice crop showed no major damage from the excessive heat and drought conditions that have plagued the State the last several months. If realized, production in Arkansas, the largest rice-producing State, will be the lowest since 1997. In California, cooler than normal temperatures delayed crop development, but the majority of the crop was rated in excellent condition at the end of July. As of July 31, forty-seven percent of the United States acreage was headed, 18 percentage points behind last year and 2 points behind the 5-year average. Sixty-four percent of the United States acreage was rated in good to excellent condition as of July 31, compared with 72 percent rated in these two categories a year earlier. Soybeans: Planted area for the Nation is estimated at 75.0 million acres, down fractionally from June and down 3 percent from last year. Area for harvest is forecast at 73.8 million acres, down less than 1 percent from June and down 4 percent from 2010. Soybean planting got off to a less than ideal start as severe flooding during April contributed to planting delays this spring. Heavy snowmelt created flooding along the upper and middle Mississippi River, while heavy rains induced flooding across the Ohio Valley and Mid-South. During the last week of April, historic flooding occurred in southeastern Missouri and neighboring areas as the flood crest moved south. Meanwhile, cool temperatures and rain combined to slow down planting progress across the northern Corn Belt. As of May 8, only 7 percent of intended soybean acreage was planted, 21 points behind last year's pace and 10 points behind the 5-year average. Wet weather during the latter half of May led to continued delays in planting. As of May 29, fifty-one percent of the intended soybean acreage was planted, 20 points behind normal and last year's pace. Ohio was only at 7 percent planted, nearly 70 percentage points less than the 5-year average for that date, and Indiana lagged 37 points behind the normal pace. However, significant progress was made during June, and 97 percent of the intended crop was planted by June 26, one point ahead of last year and the 5-year average. Emergence of the soybean crop began behind normal and last year's pace, and remained behind the normal pace throughout May and nearly all of June. Soybeans reached 96 percent emerged by July 3, equal to the 5-year average but 1 point behind last year's pace. Blooming progress for soybeans followed a very similar pattern to emergence progress, remaining several points behind the 5-year average and last year's pace throughout July. As of July 31, seventy-seven percent of the Nation's crop was blooming, 4 points behind normal and 7 points behind last year. Thirty-four percent of the acreage was setting pods by July 31, eleven points behind normal and 16 points behind last year. As of July 31, sixty percent of the United States soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 6 percentage points less than the same week in 2010. Good to excellent ratings decreased across much of the soybean growing region during July, with declines in condition ratings of 13 points or more in Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, and Missouri due to hot, dry weather. Extremely dry conditions have also hampered yield expectations in Texas, where the yield forecast of 20 bushels per acre will be the lowest since 1993, if realized. Canola: Area planted to canola in 2011 is estimated at 1.09 million acres, down 4 percent from June and down 25 percent from last year. Area for harvest is forecast at 1.07 million acres, also down 4 percent from June. In North Dakota, planted area is estimated at 890,000 acres, down 5 percent from June and down 30 percent from 2010. Harvested area in North Dakota is forecast at 880,000 acres, also down 5 percent from June. Sunflower: Area planted to sunflower in 2011 is estimated at 1.76 million acres and harvested area is forecast at 1.67 million acres. Planted area of oil type varieties, at 1.45 million acres, is down 6 percent from June and down 1 percent from last year. Harvested area of oil type varieties is forecast at 1.39 million acres, also down 6 percent from June. Planted area of non-oil type varieties, at 306,000 acres, is down 3 percent from June and down 37 percent from 2010. Harvested area of non-oil type varieties is forecast at 283,500 acres, down 3 percent from June. In North Dakota, planted area of oil type varieties is estimated at 600,000 acres, down 90,000 acres from June. The forecast for harvested area of oil type varieties is also down 90,000 acres from June to 580,000 acres. Planted area of non-oil type varieties is estimated at 90,000 acres, down 10,000 acres from June. Harvested area of non-oil type varieties is also down 10,000 acres from June to 85,000 acres. Cotton: Area planted to Upland cotton is estimated at 13.4 million acres, unchanged from June but up 25 percent from last year. Harvested area is expected to total 9.38 million acres, down 11 percent from 2010. American Pima planted area is estimated at 289,000 acres, unchanged from June but up 42 percent from last year. Expected harvested area, at 287,500 acres, is up 43 percent from the previous year. Drought throughout much of the Cotton Belt has taken its toll on this year's crop. As of July 31, forty percent of the cotton acreage was rated in very poor to poor condition compared with 9 percent this time last year. Sixty-two percent of the crop had set bolls by July 31, six points behind last year but on par with the 5-year average. The Southeastern growing region received widely scattered showers in late-July which provided some relief to the crop. However, the crop continued to be stressed by hot, dry conditions in areas that missed the precipitation. The crop progressed quickly in the Delta region due to beneficial rain and warm temperatures while dry, hot conditions persisted in West Texas. Drought has shortened the growing season in South Texas which allowed ginning to get off to a fast start. By August 1, running bales ginned in Texas totaled 202,750, the highest August 1 total since 2000. Dry beans: United States dry edible bean production is forecast at 20.5 million cwt for 2011, down 36 percent from last year. Planted area is forecast at 1.27 million acres, down 34 percent from the previous year. Harvested area is forecast at 1.19 million acres, down 35 percent from the previous year's harvested acreage. The average United States yield is forecast at 1,718 pounds per acre, a decrease of 8 pounds from 2010. Production is forecast to be lower than 2010 in 17 of the 18 estimating States, with the five largest producing States, North Dakota, Michigan, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Idaho, forecasting lower production than a year ago. In North Dakota, a cool, wet spring delayed planting, which was not completed until late-June, behind last year and the 5-year average. Warm, dry weather throughout most of July aided crop development, while condition was rated mostly good to excellent. Dry beans were planted in Michigan during the first two weeks of June. Very few areas experienced rain delays. Several Montana growers reported planting delays because of too much moisture. Precipitation in the dry bean producing areas ranged from 1 inch to almost 7 inches above normal. In Idaho, spring planting was delayed by cool, wet conditions. Crop development was reported to be behind normal. Alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Production is forecast at 65.0 million tons, down 4 percent from last year. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 3.36 tons per acre, down 0.04 ton from last year. If realized, this will be the second highest yield since 2005. Harvested area is forecast at 19.3 million acres, unchanged from the June forecast but down 3 percent from the previous year's acreage. Adequate rainfall along the Pacific Coast, across much of the Northern Tier, and in portions of the eastern half of the country has led to greater yield expectations in several States. Most notably, record-tying yields are forecast for Idaho, North Dakota, and Virginia. Elsewhere, predominately hot, dry weather in the Four Corners region as well as the southern Great Plains adversely affected much of the alfalfa crop. Other hay: Production is forecast at 67.0 million tons, down 14 percent from last year. If realized, this will be the lowest production level since 1993. Based on August 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 1.75 tons per acre, down 0.20 ton from last year. If realized, this will be the lowest United States yield since 1988. Harvested area is forecast at 38.3 million acres, unchanged from the June forecast but down 4 percent from last year. Unusually warm temperatures coupled with little to no moisture across much of the southern half of the country have led to decreased yield expectations in many States. Severe to exceptional drought conditions centered over Oklahoma and Texas, but stretching from the Four Corners region through much of the Delta, have negatively affected pastures and many grass hay fields. Elsewhere, adequate rainfall and surplus snowpack across much of the Northern Tier provided favorable growing conditions for hay. Producers in North Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming are expecting record high yields, while forecasted yields in Louisiana and South Dakota are expected to be record tying. Tobacco: United States all tobacco production for 2011 is forecast at 726 million pounds, up 1 percent from 2010. Area harvested is forecast at 336,580 acres, slightly below last year. Yields for 2011 are expected to average 2,158 pounds per acre, 28 pounds above 2010. Flue-cured tobacco production is expected to total 465 million pounds, 5 percent below the previous forecast. Moderate drought conditions were reported in some of the top producing counties, but some spotty storms provided relief during the past few weeks. Burley production is expected to total 178 million pounds, down 5 percent from last year. Kentucky growers reported that wet spring weather delayed setting in most areas. Also, dry weather and extreme heat in late-July slowed plant growth. Tennessee growers are expecting an average crop, recovering from adverse conditions last year. Fire-cured tobacco production is expected to total 52.3 million pounds, up 8 percent from the 2010 crop. Most Tennessee growers expect an average crop following recent beneficial rains. Southern Maryland Belt tobacco production in Pennsylvania is expected to total 6.45 million pounds, up 30 percent from 2010. Dark air-cured tobacco is expected to total 15.4 million pounds, up 2 percent from 2010. Kentucky growers reported black shank was becoming a problem in local areas, however disease pressure was mostly light. All Cigar type production is expected to total 8.61 million pounds, down 21 percent from last year. In Connecticut and Massachusetts, mostly damp conditions were reported by growers during the spring. As the summer progressed, conditions became more arid. Sugarbeets: Production of sugarbeets for the 2011 crop year is forecast at 30.4 million tons, down 5 percent from last year. Planted area is estimated at 1.25 million acres, up 1 percent from the June Acreage report and up 7 percent from last year. Producers expect to harvest 1.22 million acres, up 2 percent from the previous estimate and up 5 percent from 2010. Expected yield is forecast at 25.0 tons per acre, a decrease of 2.6 tons from last year. Much of the growing region experienced a cool and wet spring, forcing growers in many States to significantly delay planting this season. Minnesota, which accounts for 34 percent of the total United States production, is forecasting 1.37 million tons less production than was realized last year. Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 28.7 million tons, up 5 percent from last year. Production increases are expected in all estimating States. Producers intend to harvest 889,000 acres for sugar and seed in the 2011 crop year, up 11,500 acres from the previous year. Expected yield is forecast at 32.3 tons per acre, up 1.1 tons per acre from 2010. Louisiana and Florida producers recorded below average rainfall through mid- summer, while July brought more timely rain showers for these two regions. These timely rains sustained the crops in areas hit hard by drought conditions while less drought stricken areas have shown good crop growth. Prunes and plums: Production in Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at a collective 13,050 tons, up 8 percent from last year. Oregon growers reported that the 2011 crop is better than last year. Weather has provided good pollination patterns throughout the State. Washington growers reported that prune production will increase from last year's weather diminished crop. Hops: Hop production in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 64.2 million pounds for 2011, down 2 percent from last year. Area strung for harvest, at 30,016 acres, is down 4 percent from 2010. Yield is estimated at 2,140 pounds per acre for the Pacific Northwest, 47 pounds more than in 2010. Despite cool, wet weather conditions this spring and early summer in Washington and Oregon, most varieties were expected to produce average yields. Disease pressure has been high. Harvest was expected to begin up to a week later than normal. In Idaho, excellent growing conditions were reported this summer. Olives: California olive production is forecast at 65,000 tons. The Manzanillo and Sevillano varieties are expected to account for approximately 36 percent and 7 percent of total production, respectively. All other varieties account for the remainder. This year's crop is significantly smaller than the previous year's record crop primarily due to the alternate bearing cycle of olives coupled with adverse weather during the blooming period. Peaches: United States peach production is forecast at 1.13 million tons, down 2 percent from 2010. South Carolina peach growers expect a smaller crop than last year. Hail damage coupled with little to no rainfall tempered expectations for this year's crop. New Jersey producers continued to harvest ample-sized, high quality fruit. High temperatures and adequate soil moisture throughout July provided ideal growing conditions for later varieties. Crop condition reports have been mixed this season in Pennsylvania. Some counties were hit hard by the heavy spring rains, tornados, and storms which damaged trees and fruit. In other areas, producers reported a good set with a heavy crop. Pennsylvania growers anticipate harvesting more peaches in 2011 than were harvested last year. In Michigan, harvest of early season peaches was underway with yields reported as excellent. Growers in the central area of Washington indicated the late fall 2010 freeze and cold, wet spring conditions have had some affect on this year's crop but overall, peaches have faired well. The slower growing season was reported to be good for fruit quality and sizing. Apples: The United States apple forecast for the 2011 crop year is 9.51 billion pounds, up 2 percent from last year. Production in the Western States (Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, and Washington) is forecast at 5.88 billion pounds, down 3 percent from last year. Washington experienced a cold and wet spring which is expected to keep production below full potential this year. Oregon's production is expected to be below last year mostly due to a hard freeze during pollination. Production in the Eastern States (Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia) is forecast at 2.36 billion pounds, down 2 percent from last year. Excessive rain across New York early in the spring hampered pollination and disease control. Many growers were concerned with the summer drought-like conditions. In Pennsylvania, apple growers anticipate a smaller crop than last year. Hail storms, drought, and frost have all contributed to smaller sized fruit. North Carolina growers are not expecting a full crop this year due to hail damage. Production in the Central States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin) is forecast at 1.27 billion pounds, an increase of 49 percent from 2010. The Michigan apple crop was reported to be in excellent condition. There were no significant spring frost occurrences reported. Above normal temperatures prevailed in July, bringing apple maturity to average levels. Wisconsin's apple season got off to a slow start due to a cool spring. However, ample rain and sunshine recently has helped the crop significantly. Pears: United States pear production for 2011 is forecast at 888,300 tons, up 9 percent from last year. Bartlett pear production for California, Oregon, and Washington is forecast at 414,000 tons, 8 percent above a year ago. Other pear production in the Pacific Coast States is expected to total 457,000 tons, 10 percent above last year. In California, a cooler than average spring set fruit development slightly behind normal and delayed the start of harvest by one to two weeks. The Bartlett harvest began in the Sacramento Valley in the latter half of July. Harvest was expected to start soon in the Lake and Mendocino regions. Harvest of other pears began in late-July as well. Spring conditions in eastern Washington were cooler and wetter than normal. Yakima had its second-wettest May in more than 100 years. Most growers reported a good bloom and adequate pollination and fruit set this year. Fruit quality was reported to be excellent with no significant issues affecting the crop. In Oregon, freezing temperatures in November 2010, a freeze in late-February, and a cool, wet spring all hindered this season's crop. Extended cool, wet weather limited pear size and delayed harvest one to two weeks. However, favorable summer growing conditions have led to expectations of a crop larger than last season. Across New York, early season rains were followed by hot weather in July. In the Lake Ontario fruit region, growers were expecting a good crop. In the Hudson Valley, growers indicated the crop will be better than a year ago. Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.80 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2010-2011 season, up 1 percent from the previous season. On the Big Island, dry weather, a late harvest season, and insect damage negatively impacted coffee yields, however plantings on remaining islands are mostly irrigated, which made up for this lost production. Overall, estimated Hawaii coffee production is up 100,000 pounds from last year. Puerto Rico coffee production for the 2010-2011 season is estimated at 9.00 million pounds (parchment basis), unchanged from last season's production. Grapes: United States grape production for 2011 is forecast at 7.19 million tons, down 3 percent from last year. California leads the United States in grape production with 90 percent of the total. Washington and New York are the next largest producing States, with 4 percent and 3 percent, respectively. California's wine type grape production is forecast at 3.40 million tons, and represents 53 percent of California's total grape crop. It is down 6 percent from the 2010 crop. California's raisin type grape production is forecast at 2.05 million tons, 32 percent of California's total grape crop. The raisin type grape forecast is down 1 percent from last year. Weather has been mostly favorable this season, although cool, wet weather in the spring resulted in some mildew problems. California's table type grape production is forecast at 1.00 million tons, down 1 percent from the previous forecast. In Washington, reports of damage caused from an early freeze last fall were common. Cold, wet spring conditions slowed crop development through May, however warm, dry weather in June and July provided excellent growing conditions. New York grape producers experienced a mild winter followed by wet conditions in May and early June. However hot, dry conditions mid-June through July provided good conditions for vine growth. Florida citrus: In the citrus growing areas, weather stations reported highs in the 90s and lows mostly in the 60s. Florida summer weather patterns brought thunderstorms and scattered showers to the complete citrus producing region throughout the month. Weekly rainfall totals in most areas ranged from less than one inch to more than five inches. Drought conditions improved in most areas except the northeastern shore of Lake Okeechobee. In well cared for groves, next year's citrus crop was in good condition. Next season's oranges were larger than golf balls, and next season's grapefruit were between baseball and softball sized. Production practices included marking and pushing unproductive trees, irrigation, herbicide spraying, mowing, some hedging and topping, and brush removal. Growers are now focusing on psyllid control using both aerial and ground spraying. California citrus: The Valencia orange and grapefruit harvests continued as the late navel orange harvest was completed. Lemons were picked along the southern coast. California noncitrus fruits and nuts: The blueberry harvest neared completion while strawberries and blackberries were picked in the San Joaquin Valley. Grape vineyards across the State continued to develop well, while spraying continued to treat mildew and European grapevine moth. The peach, nectarine, and plum harvests were ongoing, while harvest of apricots was completed. Apples, pears, kiwis, and pomegranates continued to develop. Growers applied hull split sprays in almond orchards across the State. Harvest preparations started despite the crop being delayed by one to two weeks. Good developmental progress was reported in walnut, pistachio, and pecan orchards. Codling moth, weed control, and fungus treatments were ongoing in walnut orchards. Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between July 25 and August 5 to gather information on expected yields 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 United States 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. The counts made within each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, the number of plants is 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 are 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, internet, and personal interviews. Approximately 27,000 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields. 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 Field 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 in the August Crop Production report if conditions altered the planting intentions since the mid-year survey. Planted acres may also be revised for cotton, peanuts, and rice in the September Crop Production report each year; spring wheat, Durum wheat, barley, and oats only in the Small Grains Annual report at the end of September; and all other spring planted crops in the October Crop Production report. Revisions to planted acres will only be made when either special survey data, administrative data, such as Farm Service Agency program "sign up" data, or remote sensing data are available. 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 forecast. 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 6.2 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 6.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 10.7 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 433 million bushels, ranging from 16 million bushels to 1.09 billion bushels. The August 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 11 times and above 9 times. This does not imply that the August 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
