Crop Production ISSN: 1936-3737 Released December 9, 2011, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Cotton Production Down 3 Percent from November Forecast Orange Production Up 2 Percent from October Forecast All cotton production is forecast at 15.8 million 480-pound bales, down 3 percent from the November forecast and down 13 percent from last year. Yield is expected to average 771 pounds per harvested acre, down 41 pounds from last year. Upland cotton production is forecast at 15.1 million 480-pound bales, down 14 percent from 2010. American Pima production, forecast at 737,200 bales, was carried forward from last month. The United States all orange forecast for the 2011-2012 season is 9.12 million tons, up 2 percent from the previous forecast and up 3 percent from the 2010-2011 final utilization. The Florida all orange forecast, at 150 million boxes (6.75 million tons), is up 2 percent from the October forecast and 7 percent from last season's final utilization. Early, midseason, and Navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 75.0 million boxes (3.38 million tons), up 1 percent from the October forecast and up 7 percent from last season. The Florida Valencia orange forecast, at 75.0 million boxes (3.38 million tons), is up 3 percent from the October forecast and up 7 percent from the 2010-2011 crop. Sizes for both Valencia and early, midseason, and Navel varieties in Florida are expected to be larger than average. The Florida crop has benefitted from good growing conditions this fall. Harvest is ahead of schedule for non-Valencia varieties in Florida. California and Texas orange production forecasts are carried forward from October. Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the 2011-2012 season is 1.60 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, unchanged from the October forecast, but up 1 percent from last season's final yield of 1.59 gallons per box. Projected yield from the 2011-2012 early, midseason, and Valencia varieties will be published in the January Crop Production report. All projections of yield assume the processing relationships this season will be similar to those of the past several seasons. This report was approved on December 9, 2011.

November Weather Summary Mild weather covered the eastern half of the United States, promoting some late-season winter wheat development as far north as the central Plains and the Midwest. In contrast, near- to below-normal temperatures affected the northern High Plains and much of the West. As a result, at least one-tenth of the winter wheat had not emerged by November 27 in Montana (10 percent) and Oregon (12 percent). Elsewhere, lingering drought hampered wheat growth in Texas, with 26 percent not yet emerged, while planting delays and excessive wetness in Ohio kept 10 percent of the crop from emerging by November 27. Midwestern precipitation was highly variable, with wet conditions in the southern and eastern Corn Belt contrasting with mostly dry weather in the upper Mississippi Valley. Fieldwork neared completion in the latter region, but nearly one-quarter (24 percent) of Ohio's corn crop had not yet been harvested by November 27. Weather variability was also noted on the Plains, where much-needed, drought-easing precipitation fell across Oklahoma, southern Kansas, and southeastern Colorado. Parts of northern Texas also received beneficial moisture, but large sections of western and southern Texas remained mired in historic drought. Drier-than-normal conditions also prevailed during November on the northern Plains and across much of the Nation's Southern Tier. In the Southeast, long stretches of warm, dry weather allowed autumn fieldwork activities - including winter wheat planting and cotton, peanut, and soybean harvesting - to advance quickly. In addition, Louisiana's sugarcane harvest was nearly three-quarters (72 percent) complete by November 27, well ahead of the average pace. Farther west, an early-season chill engulfed the Pacific Coast States. However, generally below normal precipitation accompanied the cool spell, allowing fieldwork to proceed with few delays. More significant storminess affected the Four Corners States and the Rockies, helping to boost high-elevation snow packs. November Agricultural Summary Near-normal temperatures prevailed across much of the South and west of the Great Plains during November, allowing producers ample time to harvest row crops and seed small grains. Elsewhere, average temperatures throughout much of the Corn Belt, Great Lakes region, and Northeast were as many as 6 degrees above average. Precipitation totals were below average for many areas during the month, with portions of Great Plains accumulating less than 25 percent of their normal levels. Elsewhere, abundant moisture in areas of the Corn Belt and Ohio Valley hampered fieldwork. As November began, corn producers were rapidly completing harvest. Warmer temperatures and less precipitation gave producers in Ohio time to ramp up the harvest pace on what was a slower than normal crop season; however, overall progress remained well behind normal. By November 20, corn producers had harvested 96 percent of the Nation's crop, 3 percentage points behind last year but 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Ninety-five percent of the sorghum crop was at or beyond the mature stage by November 6, slightly behind the 5-year average, with progress complete or nearly complete in all major estimating States except New Mexico and Oklahoma. Mostly dry weather promoted rapid fieldwork on the central Great Plains early in the month. In Kansas, the largest sorghum-producing State, harvest continued at a rapid pace despite increased rainfall during the week ending November 13. Nationally, producers had harvested 94 percent of the sorghum crop by November 27, slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By November 13, winter wheat producers had seeded 96 percent of the 2012 crop, slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Early-season storms delivered beneficial moisture to the emerging crop in portions of the Rocky Mountains, while additional moisture was needed on the southern Great Plains to boost establishment. In Texas, mid-month moisture left many winter wheat fields developing well in the northern part of the State, as ongoing drought conditions limited crop growth in many southern fields. By November 27, emergence had advanced to 92 percent complete, slightly behind last year but on par with the 5-year average. Overall, 52 percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on November 27, compared with 49 percent on November 6 and 47 percent from the same time last year. As the month began, rice producers in the upper Delta and California were busy harvesting the last of the 2011 crop. Harvest was complete in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. By November 6, ninety-seven percent of the Nation's crop was harvested, on par with the 5-year average. Soybean producers had harvested 96 percent of this year's crop by November 13, three percentage points behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Despite favorable weather providing ample time for fieldwork, Ohio was the only major estimating State where progress remained behind normal. With progress most advanced in the Dakotas, 85 percent of the sunflower crop was harvested by November 6, nine percentage points ahead of last year and 20 percentage points, or nearly 2 weeks, ahead of the 5-year average. Harvest was steady in the four major estimating States throughout much of the month, and by November 20, producers had combined 98 percent of this year's crop, 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By November 6, peanut producers had harvested 80 percent of this year's crop, 5 percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Early-month rainfall limited fieldwork in Georgia, and left producers hoping for sunny days to wrap up this year's harvest. Some peanut fields in Texas that were too badly damaged to grade well were baled for hay. The latter half of the month brought rainfall to the peanut-producing areas of Texas, slowing fieldwork. By November 20, overall progress was ahead of normal in three of the four largest producing States. By November 27, ninety-seven percent of the peanut crop was harvested, slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Cool, mostly dry weather across the South promoted a rapid harvest pace for cotton early in the month. In Texas, harvest was advancing quickly in the Northern High Plains due to a freeze that aided with defoliation. By November 13, Nationwide harvest, at 79 percent complete, was advancing at the quickest pace since 2001. Toward month's end, favorable weather in the Southwest allowed ample time for producers in Arizona and California to continue harvesting their crop. By November 27, cotton producers had harvested 92 percent of the Nation's crop, 2 percentage points ahead of last year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Sugarbeet producers had harvested 96 percent of this year's crop by November 6, on par with last year but 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Crop Comments Cotton: Upland cotton harvested area is expected to total 9.56 million acres, unchanged from last month but down 9 percent from 2010. If realized, the abandonment rate will be the highest on record. American Pima harvested area, at 287,500 acres, was carried forward from last month. As of November 27, ninety-two percent of the United States cotton crop had been harvested, 2 points ahead of last year and 10 points ahead of the 5-year average. A killing frost occurred early in the month in the northern Delta region, promoting defoliation. Some areas of West Texas also experienced a hard freeze during November. Harvest advanced throughout the Southeast region and by month's end some areas had finished. Parts of Texas, Oklahoma, and the Delta region received beneficial rainfall during the month. Georgia objective yield data showed boll weight to be the highest on record. North Carolina objective yield data showed boll weight to be the lowest since 2005. Objective yield data in Texas showed boll weight to be the lowest since 2000. Ginnings totaled 11,702,500 running bales prior to December 1, compared with 13,169,600 running bales ginned prior to the same date last year. Fall potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2011 is forecast at 387 million cwt, up 6 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 939,200 acres, is slightly above the November 1 forecast and 7 percent above the 2010 estimate. The average yield forecast, at 412 cwt per acre, is down 4 cwt per acre from last year's yield. In Idaho, cool soil temperatures this spring delayed emergence of potatoes. Mild summer weather was followed by warmer than normal temperatures this fall, enabling farmers to harvest the 2011 potato crop with few delays. In Idaho, if realized, the yield will be the second highest on record. In Maine, wet conditions prevailed from planting through harvest and resulted in reductions in both acres harvested and yields. In Washington, harvesting conditions were favorable, however yields were variable across the State. All potatoes: Total United States potato production in 2011 from all seasons is forecast at 426 million cwt, 5 percent above 2010. Harvested area, at 1.07 million acres, is virtually unchanged from the November forecast but up 7 percent from last year. Average yield is forecast at 397 cwt per acre, down 4 cwt per acre from the previous year. Dry beans: United States dry edible bean production is forecast at 19.7 million cwt for 2011, down 38 percent from 2010. Planted area is estimated at 1.21 million acres, down 37 percent from last year. Harvested area is forecast at 1.15 million acres, 38 percent below the previous year. The average United States yield is forecast at 1,719 pounds per acre, a decrease of 7 pounds from 2010. Production is expected to be lower in 17 of the 18 States in the dry bean program. The top five producing States (North Dakota, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Idaho) expect decreased production from last season. In North Dakota, the largest producing State, harvest began the second week of September, about two weeks behind last year. Harvest progressed quickly due to favorable weather conditions. Harvest was essentially complete by the second week of October, a week ahead of last year. Michigan's dry bean harvest began on a limited basis the week of August 12 and wrapped up in late-October. In Minnesota, a cool, wet spring prevented some acres from being planted and slowed maturation. An early frost in September further damaged the crop. In Nebraska, hail damage reduced expected yields. Grapefruit: The 2011-2012 United States grapefruit crop is forecast at 1.17 million tons, down 2 percent from the previous forecast and down 7 percent from last season's final utilization. White grapefruit size in Florida is projected to be below average with above average droppage. Colored grapefruit is projected to be average sized with above average droppage. California and Texas production forecasts are carried forward from October. Tangelos: Florida's tangelo forecast is 1.10 million boxes (50,000 tons), unchanged from the previous forecast but down 4 percent from last season's final utilization. Fruit size and droppage are higher than average for the tangelo crop. Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is forecast at 634,000 tons, down 1 percent from the previous forecast but up 1 percent from the 2010-2011 crop. In Florida, early tangerine sizes are expected to be larger than average with higher than average droppage for the Sunburst variety. Honey tangerine size is expected to be average with droppage expected to be higher than average. Arizona and California production forecasts are carried forward from October. Florida citrus: In the citrus growing areas, weather stations reported temperatures varying from highs in the 80s to lows in the 40s by the end of the month. Widely variable rainfall was sufficient to keep the citrus growing region free of drought conditions. Harvesting of early oranges (Navels, Ambersweet, and Hamlins), white and colored grapefruit, Fallglo and Sunburst tangerines, and tangelos continued. Production practices included resetting new trees, young tree care, application of fall miticide, and irrigation as needed. California citrus: Lemons and Star Ruby grapefruit continued to be picked. Satsuma mandarin harvest continued. Tangerine harvest began to pick up. Pummelo and Melogold grapefruits were packed for export. Navel orange harvest was sluggish due to delayed maturity. California noncitrus fruits and nuts: In the San Joaquin Valley, harvest of table grapes continued to wind down while raisin grape harvest was complete. Wine grape harvest was over in all but a few areas. Rain and frost damage were reported in the northern part of the State at the end of the month. Asian pear and Fuyu and Hachiya persimmon harvests continued. Pineapple quinces, figs, kiwifruit, and apples were harvested. Pomegranate harvest continued. The olive harvest was complete in the southern San Joaquin Valley. The harvest of walnuts and almonds was mostly complete. Harvested walnut groves were being irrigated. Almond stockpiles were hulled and pruning began. Pistachio harvest was nearing completion. Post harvest clean up and pruning began. Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is forecast at 28.6 million tons, virtually unchanged from the November forecast but up 4 percent from 2010. Producers intend to harvest 883,000 acres for sugar and seed in 2011, unchanged from the November forecast, while expected yield, at 32.3 tons per acre, is down slightly from the previous forecast. Harvest was ahead of schedule in Louisiana, while rain slowed harvest in Florida at the beginning of the month. Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.30 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2011-2012 season, down 6 percent from the previous season. Growers continue to have problems with the Coffee Berry Borer and are working on ways to reduce its impact on production. Statistical Methodology Cotton survey procedures: Objective yield surveys were conducted between November 24 and December 1 to gather information on expected yields as of December 1. The objective yield survey for cotton was conducted in producing States that usually account for approximately 75 percent of the United States production. At crop maturity, 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. Orange survey procedures: The orange objective yield survey for the December 1 forecast was conducted in Florida, which produces about 71 percent of the United States production. Bearing tree numbers are determined at the start of the season based on a fruit tree census conducted every other year, combined with ongoing review based on administrative data or special surveys. From mid-July to mid-September, the number of fruit per tree is determined. In September and subsequent months, fruit size measurement and fruit droppage surveys are conducted, which combined with the previous components are used to develop the current forecast of production. California and Texas conduct grower and packer surveys on a quarterly basis, in October, January, April, and July. California conducts an objective measurement survey in September for navel oranges and in March for Valencia oranges. Cotton estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield estimates for cotton were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. For cotton, reports from cotton ginners in each State were also considered. Each cotton State Field Office submits its 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 December 1 forecast. Orange estimating procedures: State level objective yield estimates for Florida oranges were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. The Florida Field Office submits its analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the Florida survey data and their analyses to prepare the published December 1 forecast. Reports from growers and packers in California and Texas were also used for setting estimates. The December 1 orange production forecasts for these two States are carried forward from October. Revision policy: The December 1 production forecasts will not be revised. For cotton, a new estimate will be made in January followed by end-of-season revisions in May. Administrative records are reviewed and revisions are made, if data relationships warrant changes. 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. For oranges, the December 1 production forecasts will not be revised. A new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates will be published in the Citrus Fruits Summary released in September. The production estimates are based on all data available at the end of the marketing season, including information from marketing orders, shipments, and processor records. Allowances are made for recorded local utilization and home use. Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the December 1 production forecasts, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the December 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of 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. The "Root Mean Square Error" for the December 1 cotton production forecast is 2.1 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current cotton production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 2.1 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 3.6 percent. Changes between the December 1 cotton forecast and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 245,000 bales, ranging from 40,000 to 785,000 bales. The December 1 forecast for cotton has been below the final estimate 10 times and above 10 times. The difference does not imply that the December 1 forecasts this year are likely to understate or overstate final production. The "Root Mean Square Error" for the December 1 orange production forecast is 4.6 percent. However, if you exclude the three abnormal production years (one freeze season and two hurricane seasons), the "Root Mean Square Error" is 3.4 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current orange production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 4.6 percent, or 3.4 percent excluding abnormal seasons. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 7.9 percent, or 5.9 percent excluding abnormal seasons. Changes between the December 1 orange forecast and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 367,000 tons (296,000 tons excluding abnormal seasons), ranging from 17,000 tons to 1.15 million tons (17,000 tons to 764,000 tons, excluding abnormal seasons). The December 1 forecast for oranges has been below the final estimate 8 times and above 12 times (below 8 times and above 9 times, excluding abnormal seasons). The difference does not imply that the December 1 forecasts this year are likely to understate or overstate final production.
