acreage. Yield is not estimated. 1999 Crop Progress Review The year began with frigid temperatures across most of the eastern half of the United States. Blizzard conditions developed as the cold air pushed through the Corn Belt and Great Lakes Region. Snow protected most wheat fields in the northern Great Plains and eastern Corn Belt from the sub-zero temperatures and wind chills. Below-normal temperatures extended to the Gulf Coast, with sub-freezing temperature readings in Texas and as far south as central Florida. Peach orchards in the Southeast, in need of additional chill hours, welcomed the cold weather, but tomatoes suffered minor leaf burn in Florida. In lowland citrus groves, some fruit was partially frozen and some new foliage was frost bitten, but damage statewide was minimal. Sugarcane and orange harvest continued unhindered. As the month progressed, seasonally mild weather remained entrenched over the Rocky Mountains and extended eastward into the Great Plains, Corn Belt, and Southeast. In Florida, warm weather promoted development of citrus bloom buds and open bloom flowers and aided vegetable growth. Dry weather forced citrus growers in sandy and well-drained areas to irrigate groves to maintain tree conditions. A series of storms delivered a mixture of rain, sleet, and freezing rain to the lower Mississippi Valley, Southeast, Ohio Valley, and Atlantic Coast States. Later, rain and melting snow caused isolated flooding in parts of the middle and northern Atlantic Coast States. Despite the severe weather, most areas welcomed the precipitation, as soil moisture levels improved. The snow pack continued to accumulate in the northern Rocky Mountains, but heavy rains and mild temperatures melted snow in the Pacific Northwest. The combination of heavy rain and snow melt caused flooding in low-lying areas along streams. Below-normal temperatures persisted in California's valleys, hindering growth of small grains, winter forages, vegetable crops, and emerging sugarbeets. Excessive dryness during the first half of the month and excessive dampness during the second half of the month also hindered growth. A brief early-month warm spell allowed citrus growers in the San Joaquin Valley to salvage some fruit from their orchards, but most of the remaining navel orange crop was damaged or destroyed. Picking of mature fruit continued in southern California. In vineyards and non-citrus fruit orchards, growers were busy pruning, weeding, and fertilizing until late month rains hindered their efforts. The southern Great Plains experienced near-record temperatures in early February that spurred small grain development, especially in the Texas High Plains. Growers began planting corn in the Coastal Bend to take advantage of available subsoil moisture supplies. As the month progressed, corn and sorghum planting gained momentum until a cold front temporarily deterred planting near mid-month. During the last half of the month, corn, cotton, and sorghum planting progressed in central, southern, and coastal parts of the State with only brief, isolated rain delays. Strong winds near the end of the month further depleted moisture supplies in already dry soils, but winter wheat fields remained green due to mild temperatures. As the end of the month approached, more winter wheat fields broke dormancy in the central and southern Great Plains, Mississippi Delta, and southern Corn Belt due to continued mild weather. Some early-planted corn and cotton fields emerged in Texas, despite dry soils and the brief mid-month cold spell. In California, rain, wet soils, and below-normal temperatures prevailed in northern areas most of the month. Field activities were frequently delayed, but growth of small grains, alfalfa, forage crops, and sugarbeets was not hindered. Where conditions were drier, producers applied herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers; prepared soils for spring crops; replanted freeze-damaged sugar beet fields; and finished planting wheat. In southern California, citrus growers continued harvest activities. Despite below-normal temperatures, almonds and early peach and nectarine varieties began budding. Cotton planting began in the Imperial Valley near the end of the month. In Florida, warm, dry weather aided sugarcane harvest and field preparations for spring crops. However, winter grains were stressed by moisture shortages. Near mid-month, a frost accompanied by strong winds caused some minor citrus leaf burn and bloom bud damage. Crews rapidly harvested the early- and mid-season orange crop. Vegetable growth was normal and quality was mostly good. However, citrus groves needed rain to sustain growth and healthy bloom bud development. March began with dry, windy conditions in the Great Plains that depleted soil moisture reserves and hindered winter wheat development. The dry weather aided field preparations, and planting was active in southern and eastern Texas and the Gulf Coast States. Some earlier-planted corn and cotton fields emerged along the western Gulf Coast despite soil moisture shortages. Wet and cool weather emerged over the southern and eastern third of the Nation during the second week of the month and prevailed for most of the remainder of the month. The wet weather aided crop emergence, but periodically halted fieldwork in the southern Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, and adjacent areas of the Southeast. The rain also boosted winter wheat development in most areas of the southern Great Plains, but vegetative growth was limited by below-normal temperatures. In Oklahoma and the central Great Plains, mid-month snowfall rejuvenated soil moisture levels and curbed insect activity. In the northern Great Plains, dry conditions continued to persist, but winter wheat was aided by mild temperatures and wind, disease, and insect damage remained light. Warm, dry weather aided tillage and fertilizing activities in the western and central Corn Belt. Fieldwork was less active in the eastern and southern Corn Belt during the first half of the month due to muddy field conditions. In the Great Plains and western Corn Belt, small grain seeding progressed well due to mostly dry conditions. Temperatures averaged below normal in most of the Southeast and fell below freezing as far south as northern Florida early in the month. Frost damage to fruit and vegetable crops was limited due to the short duration of sub-freezing temperatures. Fieldwork in the Atlantic Coastal Plains was aided by mostly dry weather, while a mixture of heavy rain, freezing rain, and snow saturated soils in parts of the Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys and Appalachians. In the eastern Corn Belt and Northeast, most precipitation came as snow. Coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest and northern California remained rainy. In inland areas of California, where dryer conditions prevailed, field preparations and planting were active and gradual warming promoted growth of small grains, winter forages, and sugar beets. A few cotton fields were planted in the northern valleys, but warmer soil temperatures were needed. In southern areas of the State, small grains were irrigated to sustain growth. By the end of the month, winter wheat was heading and cotton was developing squares in the Imperial and San Joaquin Valleys. April began with heavy rains that halted fieldwork and eroded hillsides in the lower Mississippi Valley and adjacent areas of the southern Great Plains and middle Mississippi Valley. Rain in the Southwest and several inches of snow in the northern Great Plains eased moisture shortages, but soils remained abnormally dry in many areas of both regions. Light rainfall moistened soils and temporarily delayed spring tillage and fertilizing in parts of the Southeast, lower Ohio Valley, Corn Belt, and Southwest. Below-normal temperatures hindered crop development in the central and northern High Plains and California. Coastal areas of the Pacific Northwest remained cold and rainy. A combination of heat and dry weather triggered wildfires in Florida. During the second week of the month, strong thunderstorms delivered soaking rains, spawned tornadoes, and halted fieldwork in the western Corn Belt. Warm weather in the southern Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast promoted rapid development of winter wheat and early row crops. The Southeast, Atlantic Coastal Plains, and most of the Great Plains were dry as mid-month approached, promoting tillage and fertilizing operations, but disrupting planting. A mid-month cold front slowed development of maturing wheat fields in the southern Great Plains and halted development in the central and northern Great Plains. Hail also caused crop damage in the southern Great Plains. Persistent showers limited fieldwork and prevented row crop planting in most of the Corn Belt and central Great Plains during the first half of the month. Dry conditions along the Ohio River Valley in the southern Corn Belt and Atlantic Coastal Plains permitted steady fieldwork and planting accelerated. Soils remained wet in North Dakota and western Minnesota due to poor drying conditions, while some areas of the Pacific Northwest needed rain to germinate seeds. Warmer weather encouraged planting and aided crop development in the Southwest. Later in the month, heavy rains halted fieldwork in the northern Corn Belt, and lighter rainfall limited progress in other areas of the Corn Belt. Planting and field preparations accelerated in the lower Mississippi Valley, as warm, windy weather rapidly dried wet soils. A period of dry, sunny weather near the end of the month aided fieldwork and small grain seeding in the northern Great Plains. As the month ended, heavy rains halted fieldwork and planting in the High Plains, parts of eastern Kansas and Oklahoma, and adjacent areas of southern Missouri. Heavy rains ended excessive dryness in parts of the Atlantic Coastal Plains and eased drought conditions in southern Florida. Dry conditions aided planting in the eastern and northern Corn Belt. Excessive dryness delayed planting and hindered emergence and growth in parts of the Gulf Coast region and adjacent inland areas of the Southeast and lower Mississippi Valley. Below-normal temperatures hindered winter wheat development and emergence of other small grains and row crops in the central and southern Great Plains and most of the Corn Belt. Above-normal temperatures promoted crop emergence and development in the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes States, but dry soils hindered crop emergence. In California, cool weather, scattered showers, and strong winds caused minor planting delays. When the month ended, planting of most major field crops was behind normal. One-fifth of the corn acreage was planted compared with nearly one-third for the 5-year average. Cotton, sorghum, and peanut planting was several days behind normal, while soybean and rice planting was only slightly behind the average. Seeding of small grains was well ahead of normal as the month ended and emergence was slightly ahead of normal. Winter wheat development was also ahead of the normal as the month ended, with more than one-fourth of the crop headed. Harvesting began in southern Texas and fields were rapidly maturing in central and eastern Texas. May began with warmer, drier weather and gusty winds that rapidly removed excess moisture from soggy soils in the Corn Belt. The dry weather allowed corn planting to move ahead of the 5-year average for the first time this spring, as growers ran planters nearly around the clock for several days in many areas of the Corn Belt. Soybean planting rapidly advanced in the eastern Corn Belt, especially in Ohio, due to warmer, drier weather. Early-month thunderstorms halted fieldwork and delayed planting in eastern Oklahoma and adjacent areas of Kansas and Missouri and later in the Tennessee Valley and adjacent areas of the Southeast and lower Mississippi Valley. In the Atlantic Coastal Plains, dry soils hindered planting, while progress remained active in the lower Mississippi Valley despite brief rain delays in Mississippi. Persistent showers interrupted planting of small grains in the northern Great Plains, while drier weather aided planting in the High Plains and northern Rockies. Interior areas of the Pacific Northwest remained unfavorably dry, but crops steadily developed in California, despite a resumption of below-normal temperatures. Thunderstorms continued to delay planting in the western Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the central and southern Great Plains until well after mid-month, but corn and soybean planting remained ahead of normal as the month progressed. Warm weather aided crop development in the eastern Corn Belt, while the rain in the western Corn Belt softened crusted soils and allowed sprouted seeds to emerge. In the northern Great Plains, planting delays continued due to additional rainfall and poor drying conditions, while below-normal temperatures hindered development of seeded crops. Seasonable temperatures aided wheat development in the eastern Corn Belt and central and southern Great Plains. In the Northeast, soaking rains temporarily eased drought conditions in most areas, but coastal areas of the middle and southern Atlantic Coast States remained excessively dry. Dry, sunny weather removed excess soil moisture in many areas of the Corn Belt and northern Great Plains late in the month, allowing many growers to finish planting corn and soybeans. Dry weather aided planting in the Southeast and Atlantic Coastal Plains, but severe moisture shortages hindered crop emergence and stunted growth. Heavy rains delayed planting in the southern Great Plains late in the month. By the end of the month, corn planting was nearly finished and 80 percent of the corn acreage was emerged. Soybean planting was 71 percent complete as the month came to an end, and 37 percent of the soybean crop was emerged. Planting and emergence of both crops equaled or exceeded the normal pace in most of the Corn Belt. Eighty percent of the winter wheat crop was headed, and 2 percent of the acreage was harvested at month's end, near the normal pace for both stages. Cotton planting, at 82 percent, and cotton squaring, at 7 percent, were near the 5-year average. Rice planting was nearly complete, at 98 percent, and 93 percent was emerged, well ahead of the average and last year's slow pace. Planting and emergence of small grains lagged behind the 5-year average. Spring wheat was 85 percent planted and 65 percent emerged. Barley was 83 percent planted and 63 percent emerged. Oats were 91 percent planted and 83 percent emerged. Sorghum planting also lagged behind normal, as 44 percent was planted by the end of the month. The peanut crop was 90 percent planted, compared with 82 percent last year. During June, numerous storm systems provided ample rain to maintain soil moisture levels and support crop development in most areas of the Corn Belt, parts of the central and southern Great Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, and adjacent areas of the Southeast. Some isolated pockets within these areas received excessive rainfall and experienced hail, wind, and flood damage. Field activities were hampered throughout the month in eastern areas of Oklahoma and Kansas due to persistent rain and muddy soils. The winter wheat harvest fell behind the 5-year average early in the month and continued to lag through the end of the month, mostly due to slow progress in Oklahoma and Kansas. Sorghum planting was also hampered by rain in Oklahoma and Kansas. In Iowa, heavy rains eroded soils and standing water damaged some corn and soybean fields. A few isolated corn fields were yellow due to lingering soil wetness. Rain partially eased drought conditions in some areas of the Atlantic Coastal Plains. Soils, however, remained short of moisture in many areas and crops were increasingly stressed, as temperatures steadily climbed during the month. Soil moisture ranged from slightly dry to favorably moist across most of the northern Great Plains during most of the month. Seasonal temperatures promoted near-normal crop development across most of the Nation during June. Corn and soybeans developed slightly ahead of normal in most areas of the Corn Belt. By mid-month, nearly all of the corn and more than 80 percent of the soybeans were emerged. Cool weather hindered small grain development in the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest until mid-month, when warmer weather accelerated growth. Despite dry soils that hindered planting in the Atlantic Coastal Plains early in the month, nearly all of the cotton was planted by mid-month. Growth was aided by near-normal temperatures and adequate soil moisture in the lower Mississippi Valley and eastern Texas, but development progressed slightly behind normal due to below-normal temperatures in the Southeast and southern High Plains. Rice developed ahead of normal along the western Gulf Coast, but lagged slightly behind the 5-year average in interior areas of the lower Mississippi Valley. As July began, most areas of the Corn Belt, had adequate soil moisture to support crop development. By mid-month, corn and soybeans in the eastern Corn Belt and Atlantic Coast States were stressed by moisture shortages and above-normal temperatures. During the second half of the month, crop conditions continued to deteriorate as hot, dry weather extended westward into central and southwestern areas of the Corn Belt. In the northern Corn Belt, numerous storms provided enough rainfall to maintain adequate soil moisture and prevent serious heat damage to crops. A few severe storms flooded low-lying fields in northern Iowa near mid-month. The hot weather promoted rapid development, as both corn and soybeans progressed ahead of normal, especially in the eastern Corn Belt. Early-month storms recharged dry soils in the Southeast, and provided much-needed moisture for drought stunted crops, especially in Georgia. Mid-month storms rejuvenated crops in the Atlantic Coastal Plains, but by the end of the month, crops were stressed by soil moisture shortages and excessive heat. Cotton development progressed near the 5-year average and harvest began along the western Gulf Coast near the end of the month. In California, persistent cool weather hindered crop development. The wheat harvest accelerated in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri after wet soils dried and by mid-month, harvest was nearly complete in Kansas and in the Corn Belt. In the upper Mississippi Valley and across the northern Great Plains to the Pacific Northwest, small grain development accelerated, as cool early-month weather was replaced by record setting triple-digit temperatures during the second half of the month. The oat harvest began early and progressed ahead of normal in the Corn Belt. Most of the acreage in Iowa, Nebraska, and Ohio was harvested by the end of the month. In North Dakota, the harvest season was just getting started. Growers began combining spring wheat and barley late in the month. The rice crop developed ahead of normal along the western Gulf Coast, where dry weather aided harvest progress. In August, mild temperatures eased crop stress in the central and northern Great Plains and most of the Corn Belt. Timely rains provided adequate moisture for crop development in parts of the central and western Corn Belt and central Great Plains. Increasing moisture shortages stressed crops in the southern and eastern Corn Belt and most of the lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast. Dry conditions aided small grain harvest across the Northern States from the Great Lakes to the Pacific Northwest, and row crop harvest in the southern States from the Great Plains to the Atlantic Coastal Plains. Field preparations began for winter wheat seeding, but planting and tillage were delayed while growers waited for rain to recharge soil moisture supplies. Crop development remained slow in the Southwest due to persistent cool weather. Corn rapidly entered the silking stage in South Dakota, Colorado, and Pennsylvania early in the month. As mid-month approached, corn in the dough stage rapidly advanced in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Fields quickly progressed to the dent stage along the Ohio River Valley in the southern Corn Belt. After mid-month, corn entering the dough stage accelerated in Colorado, while denting accelerated in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Kansas. Harvest began in the central and High Plains regions of Texas, and was virtually complete in the southern and coastal regions of the State. Nearly all soybean acreage was blooming by mid-August, but acreage entering the blooming stage remained active in the northern Mississippi Delta and lower Ohio and Tennessee River Valleys after mid-month. Soybeans setting pods advanced well ahead of the average in the eastern Corn Belt, and slightly ahead of normal in the western Corn Belt. As mid-month approached, pod setting accelerated in the central and western Corn Belt. Warm weather quickly ripened fields in Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio late in the month. On August 29, more than half of the acreage was dropping leaves in Mississippi and a few isolated fields began dropping leaves in the western Corn Belt, while ripening accelerated in the eastern and southern Corn Belt. Above normal temperatures promoted cotton development in the southern Plains, Mississippi Delta, and Southeast during most of August. Conditions steadily deteriorated throughout the month in most areas, as soil moisture levels diminished. Isolated showers temporarily boosted conditions along parts of the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coastal Plains. Cool weather hindered growth in California most of the month, while above-normal temperatures accelerated development in Arizona. By August 29, bolls were opening on 35 percent of the cotton acreage. Harvest began in southern Texas and advanced northward as the month progressed. Winter wheat harvest was nearly complete early in the month, while spring wheat and barley harvest gained momentum. Dry weather aided harvest efforts in the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest, but late developing fields limited the harvest pace for most of the month. The oat harvest proceeded ahead of normal in the Corn Belt, but slow crop development and late-month rains delayed progress in Minnesota and North Dakota. Growers prepared fields for seeding winter wheat in the southern and central Great Plains, but planting was delayed due to dry soils. Warm weather promoted rice development in the lower Mississippi Valley, while development lagged in California due to persistent cool weather. In Texas and Louisiana, the harvest began early in the month and remained active, as dry weather prevailed most of the month along the western Gulf Coast. The harvest pace gained momentum in inland areas of the Mississippi Delta late in the month. Sorghum development proceeded slightly behind normal for most of the month, although hot weather quickly ripened fields in the southern Great Plains and lower Mississippi Valley. Tropical Storm Dennis delivered heavy rains to parts of the middle Atlantic Coastal Plains in early September, recharging moisture levels and revitalizing late summer crops. A cold front delivered rain to parts of the northern Great Plains and extreme western Corn Belt, and cooler temperatures for the rest of the Corn Belt. Crops benefited from the moisture but the small grain harvest was temporarily delayed in Minnesota and North Dakota. Farther west, in the High Plains and Pacific Northwest, dry weather aided small grain harvest progress. Harvest gained momentum in the southern Corn Belt, where warm, dry weather quickly ripened row crops. Field preparations continued in most areas of the Great Plains, but many growers delayed winter wheat seeding due to dry soils. Crop development slowly progressed in the Southwest due to below normal temperatures. As mid-month approached, above normal temperatures quickly ripened crops in the Southern and Eastern States. As crops matured, the harvest pace accelerated in the southern Corn Belt, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast. Heavy rains halted winter wheat seeding in parts of the central and southern Great Plains but recharged depleted soil moisture supplies. Small grain harvest and winter wheat seeding were aided by dry weather in the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest. Tropical Storm Dennis provided much-needed moisture in the Northeast, but the lower Great Lakes area remained dry. As mid-month passed, crops along the Atlantic Coast from South Carolina to New England were damaged by Hurricane Floyd's strong winds and heavy rainfall. Warm daytime temperatures promoted ripening, and dry weather aided harvest progress in the Corn Belt and Southeast. In the Great Plains, fieldwork and winter wheat seeding progressed with virtually no rain delays. Adequate soil moisture and cool weather aided emergence and growth in early-planted wheat fields. In the Pacific Northwest, winter wheat emerged, despite dry soils. Crop development and harvest progress continued to lag in the Southwest. Near the end of the month, freezing temperatures halted crop development in the upper Mississippi Valley, and frost nipped the tops of green soybeans in parts of the northern Corn Belt. However, crop damage was minimal. Dry weather prevailed over most of the Nation during the final week of September, providing nearly ideal harvest conditions in the Corn Belt, Great Plains, and lower Mississippi Valley. In the Great Plains and Pacific Northwest, field tillage and winter wheat seeding also benefited from dry weather. Moisture supplies remained mostly adequate for germinating seeds, even though rainfall was below normal in most areas. A pocket of showers improved soil moisture levels in eastern Oklahoma. Additional rain and lingering wetness stressed crops and hindered harvest progress along the Atlantic Coastal Plains. In California, a late-month heat wave accelerated crop development and the harvest pace accelerated, but maturity and harvest progress continued to lag behind normal. Crops quickly ripened during October, as above-normal temperatures prevailed across most of the country near mid-month and again late in the month. Below-normal precipitation promoted rapid harvest in the Corn Belt, Great Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southwest. In the Atlantic Coastal Plains, periods of heavy precipitation hampered harvest efforts. Moisture shortages delayed winter wheat planting in the Pacific Northwest and hindered emergence and growth in parts of the Corn Belt and Great Plains. The corn crop quickly ripened in the Great Plains and northern Corn Belt early in the month. Harvest proceeded far ahead of normal in the eastern Corn Belt and advanced well ahead of normal average in the western Corn Belt. Soybeans ripened well ahead of normal along the Ohio and Mississippi River Valleys and slightly ahead of normal in the central and western Corn Belt. The harvest pace accelerated in most areas of the Corn Belt early in the month, with only brief rain delays in northern Missouri, eastern Iowa, northern Illinois, and scattered areas of Indiana and Michigan. Brief rain delays also interrupted harvest progress in the Mississippi Delta early in the month. Precipitation from Hurricane Irene limited harvest activity in the Atlantic Coastal Plains, but progress remained slightly ahead of the normal pace in North and South Carolina. Near the end of the month, harvest was active in the southern Corn Belt, Mississippi Delta, and Southeast, as hot weather quickly ripened double-cropped and late-planted soybeans. Winter wheat seeding was aided by dry conditions in most areas of the Great Plains and eastern Corn Belt, but Oregon growers delayed planting due to dry soils. In the Corn Belt, growers planted soft red winter wheat as soon as row crops were harvested and fields were prepared. Muddy fields and the slow harvest pace delayed planting in North Carolina. Dry soils hindered emergence in parts of the Corn Belt and Great Plains. Precipitation, some in the form of snow, provided much-needed moisture for germinating seeds in Kansas, Colorado, and the eastern Corn Belt early in the month. By mid-month, stands were spotty and growth was uneven in some fields due to soil moisture shortages in some areas of the Corn Belt and Great Plains. Abundant sunshine promoted crop development where moisture was adequate, but below-normal temperatures limited growth for several days near mid-month. Warm daytime temperatures accelerated cotton ripening in the southern Great Plains, North Carolina, and California. However, development remained behind normal in California. Harvest rapidly progressed in the lower Mississippi Valley early in the month and gradually gained momentum in the southern Great Plains, where picking was active by mid-month. Rainy weather and muddy fields limited progress in the Atlantic Coastal Plains for most of the month. Sorghum ripened at a normal pace and harvest progressed slightly ahead of average throughout the month. Slow ripening limited harvest progress in South Dakota, until after mid-month, when the harvest pace accelerated. Dry weather provided excellent conditions for finishing the row crop harvest during November. Moisture shortages steadily increased, hindering winter wheat germination and growth, although record warmth stimulated development where adequate moisture was available. After mid-month, dry soils forced some producers in the southern Great Plains and Southeast to delay planting of winter grains. A wet weather pattern developed in the Pacific Northwest, ending drought conditions along the coast and easing dry conditions in some inland areas. In the Atlantic Coastal Plains, the harvest pace gradually accelerated, as a pattern of wet weather was replaced by favorably dry weather. The end of the harvest season approached far ahead of normal in the eastern Corn Belt, and well ahead of normal in the western Corn Belt. Soybean harvest activity remained brisk in the Mississippi Delta, where warm weather quickly ripened double-cropped and other late-planted fields. In the Atlantic Coastal Plains, harvest gained momentum as a dry weather pattern emerged and soils gradually dried. Cotton picking was active in the southern Great Plains, Southwest, and Southeast early in the month, but lagged well behind normal in North Carolina, New Mexico, and Arizona. Dry weather aided harvesting in New Mexico, where the pace accelerated by mid-month. As the month progressed, picking gradually accelerated in the Southeast, but progress remained far behind normal in North Carolina. In Texas, picking steadily progressed, but the harvest pace lagged behind the 5-year average. Winter wheat planting planting was complete in the Corn Belt and central and northern Great Plains by November 14. Dry weather aided sowing in Arkansas, Missouri, and Oregon early in the month, while increasing moisture shortages limited planting progress in Texas, especially after mid-month. The planting pace was also slow in North Carolina, where sowing was delayed while farmers concentrated on harvesting other crops. Planting was nearly complete in the Pacific Northwest and Mississippi Delta by mid-month, but remained active in the Southeast and California after mid-month. Soft red winter wheat rapidly emerged in the eastern Corn Belt early in the month, despite increasing moisture shortages. Emergence lagged behind normal in Oregon and Texas due to dry soils. Poor stands and slow growth limited livestock grazing in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Conditions deteriorated in Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota due to a combination of moisture shortages and record heat. Unseasonable warmth, usually beneficial to crop growth, aided insect populations and promoted disease development in the central and southern Great Plains. Rain and snow boosted soil moisture supplies in eastern Kansas and northern and eastern Oklahoma in early December, improving wheat conditions, while also reducing insect populations. In Texas and western Oklahoma, insect populations remained active until the warm, dry weather pattern was replaced by precipitation and cooler weather near mid-month. In other areas of the Great Plains and California, dry soils hampered wheat development early in the month. Shortly after mid-month, a blast of cold air descended on the Corn Belt, bringing a light and patchy layer of protective snow cover, that melted when warmer temperatures returned near Christmas. As the month ended, the wheat crop lacked snow cover across much of the Corn Belt and Great Plains, but freeze damage was minimal due to mild temperatures. The late-month warm, dry weather increased insect activity in the central and southern Great Plains. In Texas, seeding and re-seeding of wheat and oats continued where rain or snowfall supplied some moisture. In Florida, activities included harvesting fruits and vegetables, as well as cutting and grinding old crop and planting new crop sugarcane. Vegetable harvest in Florida was active, although rain briefly delayed some activity during the holiday weekend and allowed citrus caretakers to temporarily discontinue irrigation. In California, field activities progressed normally, however rain was badly needed in most areas. Seeding of irrigated small grains, alfalfa, and forage crops continued, but growers postponed planting of dryland small grains. Many seeded wheat fields required irrigation to germinate and emerge, but warm weather stimulated growth where moisture was available. Orchards, vineyards, and vegetable growers continued with normal winter activities. Other activities included harvesting sugar beets, cotton, and grain sorghum. In the Pacific Northwest, a persistent rainy pattern limited field activities along the coast from northern California to the Canada border. 1999 Weather Review The weather highlights of the year included the extensive summer drought that covered much of the eastern half of the country and the flooding from Hurricane Floyd in September that ended the drought in the East. The growing season in the Corn Belt was characterized by dryness in the east and wetness in the west, with a bias toward widespread wetness in the spring and dryness in the autumn. The year as a whole tended to be warm, with above normal precipitation in the Plains and both coasts, and below-normal precipitation in the interior West, central and southern Texas, and the Ohio, Tennessee, and lower Mississippi Valleys. Winter (December 1998-February 1999) Nationwide, winter 1998-99 was tied as the second mildest on record, with temperatures averaging above normal in every state but California. Mean temperatures ranged from 4 to 6 degrees F above normal from the Rockies to the East Coast. Wet and stormy conditions prevailed from the lower Mississippi to the Tennessee Valley and across the Pacific Northwest. La Nia-related dryness covered the southwestern corner of the country, where precipitation was under 50 percent of normal. Dry weather also prevailed in Georgia and Florida, as well as along the Gulf Coast. Precipitation totaled under 75 percent of normal from Louisiana eastward into the western parts of Florida's peninsula. Despite the abnormal warmth, winter highlights included the severe California cold wave of December 21-25 and January's severe Midwestern blizzard and cold wave. The early January snowstorm gave Chicago its greatest storm snowfall (21.6 inches) since 1967. Later in January, rain, and melting snow contributed to flooding in Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky. Indianapolis, Indiana recorded 6.35 inches of precipitation in January, its wettest January since 1950. Youngstown, Ohios monthly snowfall of 36.4 inches set an all-time record for any month. Severe flooding occurred in northern Indianas Wabash River basin. Alaska endured extreme cold from late January into the first half of February, highlighted by Chandalar Lakes all-time record low of -74 degrees F on January 29. On February 5, an all-time record low of -54 degrees F was set at Denali National Park while the University of Alaska at Fairbanks set a February record with -53 degrees F. As is typical for a La Nia, which persisted throughout the year, numerous ocean storms dumped heavy rain and snow on the Pacific Northwest this winter. Quillayute, Washington established a February rainfall record with 26.20 inches, or 208 percent of normal. Spring (March-May) Storms battered the Northwest through March, resulting in the greatest seasonal snowfall ever recorded in the United States when the weather station at Mt. Baker, Washington, measured 1,140 inches of snow for the 1998-99 snowfall season. Winter dryness in the Southeast continued into April. Rainfall from January 24 through April 21 totaled under 25 percent of normal across southern Georgia and over the western portion of the Florida peninsula. Rainfall deficits reached 12 inches in parts of Georgia. The dryness contributed to wildfires in Florida, though burned acreage was much lower than during 1998's drought. Seasonal showers in June eliminated most of the drought in Florida as well as Georgia, though the relief in Georgia was temporary. April rain and snow also eased drought fears in the Southwest following an unusually arid winter season. April storms brought monthly totals 200 to 400 percent of normal and temperatures 2 to 6 degrees F below normal. The April-June period was wet and stormy across the countrys midsection, with numerous severe weather outbreaks. Spring precipitation exceeded the norm by 50 percent or more across most of the Great Plains and the central Rockies. In contrast, precipitation was under 75 percent of normal over much of the eastern third of the country. Rainfall less than 50 percent of normal caused drought to intensify in Georgia and extreme northern Florida. The stormy Plains weather pattern included numerous severe weather occurrences, including the historic tornado outbreak in Oklahoma and Kansas on May 3-4. Spring saw the end of the string of Pacific storms in the Northwest, but dryness developed east of the Cascades in Washington and Oregon and persisted through the summer. March-May precipitation totaled as little as 50 percent of normal in both states. Summer (June-August) While wet and stormy weather prevailed during spring and much of the summer in the central states, precipitation across the eastern third of the country was deficient starting in late April. June-August rainfall totals exceeded 150 percent of normal in parts of the western Corn Belt, including northeast Iowa and eastern Nebraska, but barely reached 75 percent of normal in the eastern Corn Belt (eastern Indiana and much of Ohio and Kentucky). Amounts totaled only around 75 percent of normal over the northeastern quadrant of the country but exceeded 200 percent of normal in parts of the northern Plains. Summer temperatures averaged 2 to 4 degrees F above normal near and east of the Mississippi River. By August, drought extended from New England to Texas, including the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and much of the South, causing considerable losses for agriculture. The mid-Atlantic region experienced its worst drought since the mid-1960s and a number of states instituted water restrictions. Rhode Island and Connecticut endured their driest summer (June-August) ever, while New York and West Virginia recorded their second driest summer. Ohio and Virginia measured their third lowest summer rainfall totals. Precipitation deficits from July 1, 1998 through August 19, 1999, near the droughts peak, ranged from 14 to 20 inches in the Baltimore-Washington D.C. region. Heat waves during the summer worsened the drought. Notable periods of heat included July 3 to 6 in southern New England and the mid-Atlantic states and July 19-31 across a wide expanse from New York to Georgia and Minnesota to Kansas. Near the heat waves peak, on July 29, triple-digit temperatures extended across the entire Great Plains from Canada to Mexico. Long-term drought continued on some of the Hawaiian islands, where water supplies became a concern. Heavier rains in late autumn eased dryness, but more rain was needed to eliminate the large deficits, which had been building since 1997. Annual rainfall in Honolulu was just slightly more than one-half of normal in 1999. Though Hurricane Bret brought up to 8 inches of rain to eastern and southern Texas in late August, much of Texas endured severe drought during the latter half of the year, as the state recorded its sixth driest August-October in 105 years. Northeast Texas measured less than 50 percent of its normal summer rainfall, with August rainfall only a trace in Dallas-Fort Worth and Waco. Dallas-Fort Worth recorded a 56-day rainless streak from July 11 to September 4, its third longest dry spell this century. High temperatures aggravated the dryness, as Dallas-Fort Worth registered a 24-day spell of triple-digit heat from July 28 to August 20. Hurricane Dennis brushed the coastal Carolinas during the last days of August, returning as a tropical storm in early September. Dennis' heavy rains eased drought in the Carolinas and Virginia. An active summer monsoon season prevailed across the southwestern states. June-September rainfall totaled over 200 percent of normal in the 4 corners area as well as southern Arizona. Farther north, summer was quite dry. Summer rainfall totaled under 50 percent of normal in eastern Oregon and adjacent Idaho. Boise, Idaho recorded no measurable rain from June 16 through August 10, a dry period lasting 56 days. Dry conditions in northern Nevada and eastern parts of Oregon and Washington persisted into fall. Wildfires burned more than 1 million acres during the first half of August alone in the Great Basin. Autumn (September-November) Despite the heavy rains and flooding during September along the East Coast, the nation recorded its seventh driest and fifth warmest autumn. Rainfall totaled under one-half normal across much of the country's interior, and temperatures averaged above normal nearly everywhere. The dry weather promoted Midwestern corn and soybean harvesting but stressed developing winter wheat in the Plains, Ohio Valley, and South. Several wet frontal passages and heavy rains from Hurricanes Dennis and Floyd ended the drought along the Eastern Seaboard in September, but Floyd's 15 to 20 inches of rain caused extensive flooding in eastern North Carolina and portions of other states along the East Coast. September rainfall amounts generally exceeded one foot from northeastern North Carolina to New England. Besides North Carolina, the states most affected by flooding were Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. In contrast, drought continued from the Ohio Valley southward to Georgia, as the tropical rains missed this region. Several other tropical systems affected the country in autumn. Hurricane Irene tracked across southern Florida on October 15-16, dumping around a foot of rain before bringing another 4 to 6 inches to eastern North Carolina on October 17-18. Later in October, Hurricane Jose tracked northwestward near the Virgin Islands and passed within 50 miles of Puerto Rico on the 21st. In November, Hurricane Lenny brought heavy rains and high winds to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands on the 17th-18th. All told, there were 12 named tropical cyclones during the 1999 season--four tropical storms and eight hurricanes. This compares to the long-term averages of 10 named storms and six hurricanes. Three storms made landfall at hurricane strength and two made landfall at tropical storm strength. For the first time on record, there were five Category 4 hurricanes (winds at least 131 mph) this season. Frontal systems delivered some drought relief to the interior Appalachian states and the Ohio, Tennessee, and lower Mississippi Valleys during November but a water emergency continued for all or part of 53 counties in Kentucky as of early December. The drought expanded westward during September and October into the central and northern Plains, with drought reaching severe status in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa by mid-November. Autumn precipitation totaled as little as 25 percent of normal in Nebraska. In the Southwest, conditions reverted to abnormal dryness following the end of the summer rainy season. From October to early December, cumulative precipitation totaled under 50 percent of normal over the southwestern quarter of the country, and less than 25 percent of normal across Arizona, New Mexico, and southern California. Unusual November heat covered much of the country during the month, with the abnormal heat setting or tying more than 60 monthly records and hundreds of daily records. Nationally, this was the warmest November in 105 years of record-keeping, with eight states--mainly in the Plains--reporting record monthly warmth. Numerous Pacific storms pelted the southern coasts of Alaska during October, November, and December and the Pacific Northwest coast during November and early December. December December continued November's mild pattern, though with interruptions from several outbreaks of cold weather. Temperatures were especially mild in the Plains states, with readings averaging more than 6 degrees F above normal from Nebraska northward. Precipitation was below normal over large parts of the country, especially over the Southwest, including California. Storms drove monthly precipitation amounts above 200 percent of normal from northern Texas and Oklahoma northeastward into Missouri and eastern Kansas, relieving dryness. Rain and snow also eased drought in the Ohio Valley, but drought worsened in Georgia and southern Texas. Snowfall and snow cover were below normal for much of the nation as the new year began. Corn for grain: Corn for grain production is estimated at 9.44 billion bushels, down 3 percent from the 1998 crop and down 1 percent from the November 1 forecast. The 1999 production ranks as the fourth highest production on record behind the 1994, 1998, and 1992 respective crop years. The U. S. yield of 133.8 bushels per acre was down 0.6 bushel from last year. Planted area totaled 77.4 million acres, 3 percent less than in 1998. Acres harvested for grain, at 70.5 million acres, were also down by 3 percent from 1998. For most states, abandoned acres were at or below the normal levels in 1999. Corn silage production was estimated at 96.2 million tons, 1 percent higher than 1998. Yield declined to 15.9 tons per acre, down 0.2 ton from 1998. Farmers harvested 6.06 million acres for silage, a 3 percent increase from last year. Corn planting proceeded rapidly and was 96 percent complete by May 29, 1999, ahead of the average of 90 percent. Favorable conditions prevailed over most of the Corn Belt through the summer months. Some areas of the corn belt were subjected to heat stress for a short time during late July. By the beginning of August, 91 percent of the corn acreage was silking in the 17 major corn-producing States, compared with the average of 78 percent. At that time, the percent of corn rated good to excellent totaled 63 percent, below the 68 percent in 1998. Corn ripened quickly in September and October and harvest proceeded well ahead of normal due to dry weather. As of November 14, harvest was 96 percent complete, compared with 93 percent last year and the 5-year average of 80 percent. The 1999 Corn Objective Yield data indicated record ear counts for five of the seven objective yield States, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. Ohio and Minnesota were at the second and forth highest levels, respectively. Sorghum: Grain production in 1999 is estimated at 595 million bushels, essentially unchanged from the November forecast and up 14 percent from 1998. Area harvested for grain was estimated at 8.5 million acres, up 11 percent from 1998. Average grain yield, at 69.7 bushels per acre, was 2.4 bushels above the 1998 average yield. Silage production was estimated to total 3.72 million tons, an increase of 5 percent from 1998. Area cut for silage was 320,000 acres, 4 percent more than the previous year. Silage yields averaged 11.6 tons per acre, up 0.2 ton per acre from last. Kansas continues to lead the Nation in sorghum planted and harvested acres and production for both grain and silage. Texas sorghum acres decreased from last year, mainly due to an increase in cotton planted acreage. Oats: Production for the 1999 crop year is estimated at 146.2 million bushels, 12 percent smaller than the 1998 production. This is the lowest production since records were first kept in 1866. The estimated yield, at 59.6 bushels per acre, is below last year's 60.2 bushel yield. Area harvested for grain in 1999 is 2.45 million acres, 11 percent below 1998. This is the smallest acreage harvested for grain on record. Planting and crop development proceeded ahead of normal in most of the Corn Belt States, especially east of the Mississippi River. In the northern Great Plains, planting was frequently delayed by wet weather and development remained behind normal for most of the summer. Early-season development was aided by adequate moisture supplies and warm weather, but a mid-season drought reduced yields in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Some fields were cut to supplement forage supplies in Pennsylvania and New York. In the Corn Belt, the hot, dry weather in July accelerated development and limited the crop's potential in some areas, but did not seriously affect yields. The oat harvest proceeded ahead of normal in the Corn Belt, where dry conditions prevailed during most of the harvest season. Wet weather periodically delayed harvest progress in the upper Mississippi Valley and parts of the central and northern Great Plains. Barley: Barley production for 1999 is estimated at 282 million bushels, down 20 percent from the previous crop year. Average yield per acre, at 59.2 bushels was down 0.9 bushels from 1998. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 4.76 million acres, 19 percent less than 1998. All Wheat: Production for 1999 is estimated at 2.30 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the level published in the "Small Grains 1999 Summary," and 10 percent below the 1998 level. Most of the production decline from the last estimate is in Durum wheat, primarily due to a reduction in both grain area and yield in North Dakota. Durum wheat is down 10 percent from the last estimate, other spring wheat is down 1 percent, and all winter wheat is up fractionally. Proso Millet: The National Agricultural Statistics Service began estimating proso millet acreage and grain production in Colorado, Nebraska, and South Dakota during 1999. These three states produce the vast majority of proso millet for grain in the United States. The sum of production for these three states will be considered a "US" production, not just a "3-State" total. Proso millet can be harvested for grain, seed, or hay. Proso millet harvested for hay has always been included in "grain hay" estimates. Proso millet grain production is estimated at 17.9 million bushels for 1999. Farmers planted a total of 600,000 acres of proso millet for all purposes. Area harvested for grain and seed was estimated at 540,000 acres. The U.S. average yield per acres was estimated at 33.2 bushels per acre. Rice: Production of rice in 1999 totaled 210 million cwt., up 12 percent from 1998. The 1999 production is the highest on record. The previous record production was set in 1994 at 198 million cwt. Area for harvest, at 3.56 million acres, is up 7 percent from 1998. The 1999 harvested acres is second highest behind the 1981 record of 3.79 million acres. The average yield for all U.S. rice is estimated at 5,908 pounds per acre, 21 pounds below the November 1 forecast. This is the third highest yield on record behind the 1994 yield of 5,964 pounds per acre. All States, except California, experienced good growing conditions this year. Cool weather during pollination and throughout the growing season reduced expected yields to near last year's el nino affected crop in California. At the U.S. level, long and medium grain rice yields in 1999 were 199 pounds higher than 1998. Short grain rice yield was 1,779 pounds higher than last year. Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 1999 totaled 7.88 million bushels, up 17 percent from the previous year. The yield is estimated at 20.6 bushels, up 0.2 bushels above 1998 and a record yield. A total of 387,000 acres were planted in 1999, up 15 percent from 1998. Area harvested, at 382,000 acres, increased 16 percent from 1998. In North Dakota, the leading flaxseed state, production totaled 6.87 million bushels, up 18 percent from 1998. Growers planted 330,000 acres and harvested 327,000 acres of flaxseed, 50,000 more acres than in 1998 and the largest acreage since 1987. The average yield per acre averaged 21.0 bushels and was equal to the yield in 1998. Peanuts: Production of peanuts in 1999 totaled 3.87 billion pounds, down 2 percent from last year's crop but up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast. Planted area for the U.S., at 1.53 million acres, is up 1 percent from 1998. Harvested area totaled 1.43 million acres, down 3 percent from 1998. The U.S. yield per harvested acre averaged 2,711 pounds, up 9 pounds from 1998. Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina) totaled 2.18 billion pounds, down 1 percent from 1998. The average yield for the 4-State area was 2,546 pounds per acre, 94 pounds below last year. Hot, dry conditions during the critical summer months reduced crop prospects in South Carolina. Peanuts in Florida and Alabama proved better than expected as yields averaged 210 and 105 pounds above last year, respectively Production from the Virginia-North Carolina area totaled 509 million pounds, down 18 percent from 1998. Hurricanes from early September through mid-October reduced crop yields and caused some fields to be totally destroyed in North Carolina. The Southwest crop (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) totaled 1.18 billion pounds, up 4 percent from 1998. Yields in the tri-state area averaged 3,131 pounds per acre, 493 pounds above 1998. Texas growers recorded their highest yield ever of 3,300 pounds per acre. The 1999 growing season was extremely dry in many areas which led to an above normal dryland acres to be abandoned. These facts, coupled with excellent irrigated yields in the Plains, combined to produce record yields. Soybeans: Production in 1999 totaled 2.64 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the November 1 forecast, 4 percent below 1998 and the third highest production. The average yield per acre in 1999 is estimated at 36.5 bushels, 0.2 bushels below the November 1 forecast and 2.4 bushels below the 1998 yield. Final yields were adjusted down in 12 states, increased in 12 states, and left unchanged in the remaining six states. Planted area for the U.S., at 73.8 million acres, was up 2 percent from 1998 and the largest planted acreage on record. Harvested area totaled 72.5 million acres, also a record and 3 percent above 1998. Acreage planted was decreased 365,000 acres from the previous August estimate of 74.2 million acres and acreage harvested was decreased 310,000 acres from the November estimate of 72.8 million acres. Yields as a whole were lower in 1999 as a result of moisture shortages during critical pod development and filling stages in many areas of the Corn Belt, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern growing regions. Final yields were lower than 1998 in 22 of the 30 soybean estimating States. Planting of the 1999 soybean crop was delayed during May, but by the end of June was ahead of normal and 1998. Heavy and persistent storms during much of May kept many producers from getting a good start planting in most of the western Corn Belt and Great Plains. The eastern Corn Belt States completed planting with the fewest weather disruptions. States in the Mid-Atlantic and eastern Corn Belt experienced very dry to drought conditions for much of July. Extremely high temperatures during the last two weeks of July stressed most of the soybean growing areas, especially localities that were experiencing moisture shortages. By the end of August, crop conditions had deteriorated in much of the Delta region, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic region as soil moisture levels remained depleted and high temperatures persisted. Conditions in the western Corn Belt States and northern tier states were more favorable during August as milder temperatures and occasional rains eased the stress caused by the heat wave that hit in late July. In the drier eastern Corn Belt and Mid-Atlantic, the crop began to show some signs of improvement as much needed precipitation was finally received by the second week of August and continued through the end of the month. Much of the Delta and Southern growing regions continued to show very poor conditions through September, as soil moisture problems persisted. Very wet conditions were seen in the Atlantic Coastal Plains during September as the area was frequented by hurricanes and tropical storms. Overall, crop maturity progressed at a very accelerated pace. As of October 3, the percent of the soybeans dropping leaves had reached 88 percent, 1 percentage point ahead of 1998 and ahead of the 82 percent 5-year average. Freezing temperatures halted crop development and assisted in drying the crop in areas of northern Corn Belt and Great Plains during the last two weeks of September. Despite some delays caused by rain, soybean harvest progressed well ahead of normal. Harvest progress during October advanced at a very fast pace as near ideal conditions prevailed in most areas of the Corn Belt, Great Plains, and Delta region. Harvest in Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern States was not as advanced and was running behind the previous year's pace. Harvest was nearing completion by November 14, as 97 percent had been harvested, 1 percentage point ahead of 1998 and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Final pod counts from the Objective Yield survey were the highest on record in Iowa and Nebraska. All other objective yield States, except for Minnesota, had fewer pods than 1998 final counts Cotton: Upland cotton planted acreage is estimated at 14.6 million acres, up 2 percent from the August estimate and up 11 percent from last year. Harvested acreage, at 13.1 million acres, is 25 percent above last year. The increases in planted acreage are attributable to the favorableness of cotton as an alternative crop during times of low prices. Harvested acreage increased due to more traditional abandonment levels than in 1998, when high abandonment occurred due to extremely dry conditions. Producers planted 290,000 acres of American-Pima cotton in 1999, down 12 percent from last year. Harvested acreage is estimated at 288,000 acres, an increase of 23 percent from 1998. Harvest of Texas upland cotton progressed normally during the season as conditions were generally dry and open. However, there were brief early harvest delays on the High Plains due to cool temperatures and widely scattered showers. Delays were also experienced late in the harvest season due to blowing, wet snow. Some farmers sprayed to aid in harvest rather than waiting for the first hard freeze, which did not occur until late November. Abandonment, at 1.05 million acres, is higher than average, but much less than last year's drought affected crop. Hail and wind damage in June resulted in some cotton acreage being replanted to alternative crops. Crop development began slowly, but was on pace with average by the first of August. Heavy rains during early September raised some concerns about regrowth. Cotton objective yield data indicate Texas' crop has the seventh lowest boll weight in the last 10 years. The Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee) planted 3.74 million acres. This is 16 percent more than in 1998. Harvested area totaled 3.69 million acres. Warm, dry weather accelerated development of this year's crop, but resulted in deterioration of the condition and quality of the cotton. The dry weather also allowed harvest to progress well ahead of average. On October 31, Arkansas was 15 points ahead of average, at 94 percent harvested. Louisiana reported 99 percent harvested, 7 points ahead of the 5-year average. Mississippi, at 97 percent harvested, was 10 percentage points ahead of average. Missouri and Tennessee both reported 96 percent of their cotton acreage harvested on October 31, twenty-one and 20 points ahead of the 5-year average, respectively. Data from objective yield surveys show boll weights in Arkansas and Mississippi were the lowest in the last ten years, while Louisiana's weight was ranked as the ninth lowest out of the last ten years. Arizona increased the acreage planted to Upland cotton in 1999, while California decreased planted acres. Arizona planted 265,000 acres, a 6 percent increase from last year, while California planted 610,000 acres, 6 percent less than in 1998. Unseasonably cool weather hampered planting activities, resulting in a late developing crop. Despite the slow development, condition ratings remained high throughout the season. Warm, dry weather allowed great harvest progress during October and November, with California being virtually complete by the end of November. January 1 cotton objective yield counts show boll weights in California are the lowest in the last ten years. In the Southeastern States, Georgia and South Carolina, plantings were delayed, due to extremely dry conditions. Alabama and North Carolina were able to progress at a normal pace during the planting season, but were required to do some replanting because of the dry conditions. Extremely dry conditions persisted for Georgia and Alabama during August and September, leading to deterioration of the cotton crop. North Carolina and South Carolina were dry during most of August. Hurricane Dennis improved soil moisture in some areas during late August, but some fields were too mature to benefit from the moisture. During September, the Carolina's were adversely affected by torrential rainfall from Hurricane Floyd. North Carolina abandoned 80,000 acres during 1999, mostly the result of wind and rain damage from the hurricane. The excessively wet, muddy fields also delayed harvest in North Carolina. As of October 31, North Carolina reported only 24 percent of their cotton acreage harvested, compared to 55 percent for the 5-year average. Harvest activities progressed ahead of average in Alabama and remained on pace for both Georgia and South Carolina. American-Pima production is forecast at 695,500 bales, up 57 percent from 1998's output and up 16,500 bales from the December forecast. This is the largest crop on record. The U.S. yield is forecast at 1,159 pounds per harvested acre, 103 pounds above the previous record high yield set in 1997. California producers increased planted acres 20 percent from 1998, to 240,000 acres. Arizona and Texas decreased acres planted to Pima from last year while New Mexico acreage increased. Planting in the San Joaquin Valley began in late March, but made very little progress until mid-April. The delay in progress was due to the persistent cool, damp weather which kept soil temperatures below the optimal level for planting. Cool temperatures during August resulted in the crop developing slowly. However, weather conditions were ideal for virtually the entire harvest season. The harvest was nearly complete by mid-December and some growers picked a third time in order to get the last few late-opening bolls. Ginnings totaled 15,898,850 running bales prior to January 1, compared with 13,159,700 running bales ginned prior to the same date last year and 17,613,350 running bales in 1997. Cottonseed: Production for 1999, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 6.42 million tons, up 20 percent from 1998's production of 5.37 million tons. Special Oilseeds: Canola production in 1999, at 1.36 billion pounds, is down 12 percent from 1998. Safflower production, at 405 million pounds, decreased 2 percent below 1998. Mustard seed production, at 48 million pounds, is 41 percent below the previous year. Rapeseed production totaled 5 million pounds, down 20 percent from 1998. Planted acres for canola, mustard seed, safflower, and rapeseed were down from 1998. Area planted to Canola is estimated at 1.08 million acres, 3 percent below last year's acreage. Harvested acres for canola, at 1.04 million acres, decreased 3 percent from 1998 but is still the second largest acreage on record behind 1998. Safflower growers planted an estimated 275,000 acres, a decrease of 9 percent from 1998. Safflower harvested area is estimated at 262,000 acres, down 8 percent. Planted area of mustard seed is estimated at 60,800 acres, down 39 percent from 1998. Mustard Seed harvested area is estimated at 58,800 acres. Rapeseed growers planted an estimated 4,600 acres, down 200 acres from last year. Harvested yields for canola averaged 1,306 pounds and were 142 pounds below the 1998 yield. The yield for safflower, at 1,545 pounds per acre, was 99 pounds above the previous year. Mustard seed averaged 816 pounds per acre, 39 pounds below 1998. Rapeseed averaged 1,155 pounds per acre in 1999, down 198 pounds from 1998. Sunflower: The 1999 sunflower production totaled 4.34 billion pounds, 18 percent below the 1998 production but 18 percent above 1997. The estimated yield per acre, at 1,262 pounds, decreased 248 pounds from the record yield set in 1998. Planted area, at 3.55 million acres was down fractionally from 1998 but 23 percent above the 1997 acreage. Harvested acres, at 3.44 million acres, decreased 1 percent from last year. In North Dakota, the leading state, production is estimated at 1.87 billion pounds, down 37 percent from 1998. The yield per acre, at 1,134 pounds, is 383 pounds below last year. Planted and harvested acres were down from 1998 by 15 and 16 percent, respectively. Production for oil type sunflower varieties, at 3.50 billion pounds, decreased 22 percent from 1998 due to a 7 percent reduction in acreage harvested and a yield decline of 251 pounds. Production for non-oil sunflower varieties, at 844 million pounds, increased 7 percent. Acreage harvested for non-oil varieties increased by 25 percent above 1998. However, the average yield per acre, at 1131 pounds, decreased 191 pounds from 1998. All Hay: Production for 1999 is estimated at 159 million tons, down slightly from the October 1 forecast but up 5 percent from the 1998 total. Acreage harvested, at 63.2 million acres, is up slightly from the October forecast and up 5 percent from 1998. The average yield, at 2.52 tons per acre, was down 0.08 tons from the October forecast and down slightly from the previous year. Texas regained its number one spot for hay production with 13.1 million tons, followed by South Dakota, California, and Nebraska. Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Production in 1999 totaled 83.9 million tons, down 2 percent from the October forecast and up 2 percent from the1998 total. Harvested acreage, at 24.0 million acres is up slightly from October 1 and up 1 percent from the previous year. Yields averaged 3.50 tons per acre, nearly matching the October 1 forecast and up slightly from 3.48 tons per acre in 1998. California continues to lead in alfalfa hay production, followed by South Dakota and Wisconsin. All Other Hay: Production in 1999 totaled 75.2 million tons, down 1 percent from the October 1 forecast but up 8 percent from the 1998 total. An increase in harvested acres from 1998 resulted in the increased production. Area for harvest, at 39.2 million acres, is up 3 percent from the October 1 forecast and up 8 percent from last year. Average yield, at 1.92 tons per acre, is nearly unchanged from 1.91 tons per acre in 1998. Dry Beans: Production of dry edible beans is estimated at 33.2 million cwt for 1999, 9 percent above 1998 and 13 percent above two years ago. Area for harvest is estimated at 1.88 million acres, down 2 percent from 1998 but 7 percent above 1997. Average yield, at 1,770 pounds per acre, increased 184 pounds from 1998. Production is up in 1999 for all estimating states except Colorado, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming. California and Michigan had major increases in production from 1998. Michigan produced 7.35 million cwt, the highest since 1982 when production was 7.98 million cwt. Michigan also had a record high yield of 2,100 pounds per acre, 250 pounds greater than the previous high of 1,850 pounds per acre set in 1991. California produced 2.60 million cwt for 1999, 67 percent above 1998. In North Dakota, early harvest progress was a week behind average due to late plantings in the spring, and wet weather during early September. However, due to dry conditions during October, harvest was virtually complete by the third week, slightly ahead of average. Wet conditions during the growing season in some areas of the Northeast district promoted diseases, such as white mold, which contributed to abandoned acreage. Michigan's dry bean harvest was completed by the third week in October, well ahead of normal. Timely rains lessened the effect of root rot and dry conditions late in the growing season held white mold in check. The result was a record yield. In Nebraska, yield is the second highest in the decade. However, hail damage during the growing season and rain damage before harvest in some areas left a large amount of unharvested acres. In California, harvest went well this season with good quality reported. Harvest in Idaho was completed ahead of average due to good weather conditions during harvest. Yields for dryland producers in Colorado are higher due to adequate moisture during the growing season. In New York, some acreage was abandoned due to the effects of dry weather during the summer. Unharvested acres in Minnesota were up due to wet conditions in the Northwest district. In Wisconsin, yields were lower due to hot and dry conditions during the end of July. Utah's dry bean production is up this year due to ample rains during the growing season in their major growing area. Condition of the dry bean crop was mixed in Montana. Some growers had excellent growing conditions and produced a favorable crop, while other areas received significant moisture during harvest which caused poor quality with diminished yield. Production is above 1998 levels for all varieties except black, pink, and pinto. Pinto, the largest variety, decreased 25 percent from 1998 while navy, the next largest variety, increased 88 percent. Lentils: Production of lentils in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington is estimated at 2.39 million cwt, up 23 percent from the 1998 crop but down 1 percent from two years ago. Planted and harvested acreage are above last year in both Idaho and Washington. Harvested area is estimated at 174,500 acres, 16,000 acres more than 1998, but 8,500 below two years ago. Average yield per acre, at 1,368 pounds, is 145 pounds above last year and 53 pounds above 1997. Production in Idaho, at 840,000 cwt, is up 30 percent from 1998. Average yields in Idaho increased 250 pounds from last season to 1,400 pounds per acre. Harvested acreage in Idaho rose to 60,000 acres, up 7 percent from 1998. In Washington, production is up 16 percent from last year, at 975,000 cwt, however, yields dipped 50 pounds to 1,300 pounds per acre from 75,000 harvested acres. Wrinkled Seed Peas: Production of wrinkled seed peas in Idaho and Washington totaled 658,000 cwt in 1999, 2 percent below the 1998 crop and 4 percent below 1997. Production in Washington, at 318,000 cwt, was down 25 percent from 1998. However production in Idaho, at 340,000 cwt, increased 37 percent from last year. Dry Edible Peas: Production of dry peas in Idaho, Montana, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, and Washington in 1999 is estimated at 5.03 million cwt, down 15 percent from 1998 and down 13 percent from two years ago. Harvested acres were equal to or less than 1998 harvested acres for every state except Washington, which increased 2,000. Overall, planted area in the U. S. reached 281,600 acres, 41,800 acres fewer than a year ago and 22,000 acres less than 1997. Harvested acres stood at 263,600 acres compared with 309,100 acres in 1998 and 281,600 acres from two years ago. Average yields fell 12 pounds to 1,908 pounds per acre. Growers in Washington saw their average yields decrease by 150 pounds per acre from last year to 2,020 pounds. However, Idaho saw average yields increase 200 pounds per acre to 1,900 pounds. Austrian Winter Peas: Austrian winter pea production for 1999 in Idaho and Oregon is 60,000 cwt, down 42 percent from 1998 and down 48 percent from two years ago. This is the lowest since 1994, when production was a record low 51,000 cwt. Area harvested, at 4,400 acres, is down 3,000 acres from last year and down 3,200 acres from 1997. Average yield decreased 41 pounds in 1999 to 1,364 pounds per acre. All Potatoes: Total U.S. 1999 potato production from all four seasons is estimated at 478 million cwt, up less than 1 percent from 1998 but 2 percent above 1997. Harvested area, at 1.33 million acres, was down 4 percent from 1998. Average yield of 359 cwt per acre was up 16 cwt from the previous year. Winter Potatoes: Winter potato production is estimated at 4.07 million cwt, up 37 percent from a year ago and 19 percent above 1997. Harvested acreage was estimated at 17,800 acres, up 19 percent from 1998 while the final yield of 229 cwt per acre jumped 30 cwt. Spring Potatoes: Revisions of spring potatoes place production at 25.3 million cwt in 1999, up 20 percent from a year earlier and 14 percent above 1997. Final data were up 9 percent from the May 1 forecast. Harvested area totaled 84,500 acres, down 7 percent from 1998 while the average yield of 300 cwt per acre gained 67 cwt from last year. Summer Potatoes: Growers produced 19.2 million cwt of summer potatoes in 1999, up 1 percent from 1998 and 5 percent above 1997. Harvested area, at 64,200 acres, fell 6 percent, while the average yield of 298 cwt per acre rose 20 cwt from 1998. Fall Potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 1999 is estimated at 430 million cwt, down 1 percent from last year but up 2 above 1997. Area harvested, at 1.17 million acres, is down 4 percent from last year and 2 percent below two years ago. The average yield is 369 cwt per acre, a jump of 13 cwt from last year and 12 cwt above two years ago. A slight increase from the December forecast came as a result of higher yields in New Mexico. Heavy losses were suffered in the Red River Valley of Minnesota and North Dakota from persistent rains before and during harvest. Summer drought had earlier hurt potatoes in New York and Pennsylvania, and caused scattered damage in Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Moving West, we recorded record large potato crops in Nebraska, Washington, and Wisconsin. Five Eastern States produced 28.5 million cwt of fall potatoes in 1999, down 3 percent from last year and 6 percent below two years ago. Area for harvest totaled 105,500 acres, down 3 percent from last year. The average yield of 270 cwt per acre was 1 cwt below last year but 6 cwt above 1997. Maine potato growers had a nearly ideal season from early planting to harvest time. However, persistent rains during harvest caused considerable damage to tubers. Production in Maine dropped 1 percent from last year. New York and Pennsylvania suffered extended drought through the summer cutting onto yields and reducing size. Eight Central States' production is estimated at 106 million cwt this year, down 2 percent from last year but 8 percent above two years ago. Harvest was taken from 329,700 acres, a drop of 9 percent from last year. The average yield of 320 cwt per acre represented a 22 cwt increase from a year ago. Dry summer weather hurt yields in Ohio and Indiana with production drops of 17 or more percent. Michigan's yields were not as high as expected, but higher acreage pushed production up 2 percent. Heavy rains during harvest led to acreage abandonment in North Dakota and Minnesota. Production in Wisconsin jumped 10 percent with increased acreage and record high yields. Nebraska's production increased 9 percent, also with a record high yield. Ten Western States produced 296 million cwt in 1999, slightly above the last year two years. Acreage harvested, at 730,900 acres, decreased 2 percent from last year and the average yield of 405 cwt per acre was up 7 cwt. Production in Idaho decreased 3 percent from last year and 5 percent from two years ago. Washington gained 2 percent and Oregon 7 percent. Colorado was up 2 percent and California increased 8 percent. Montana was up 5 percent, Nevada gained 2 percent, and New Mexico jumped 12 percent from a year ago. Production in Utah dropped 20 percent from last year. Sweet Potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 1999 fell 3 percent from last year to 12.0 million cwt and was 10 percent below 1997. Growers harvested 82,900 acres, down 1 percent from last year while the average yield of 145 cwt per acre fell 3 cwt. Hurricane Floyd flooded many fields in the Carolinas, causing heavy losses. Tobacco: U.S. tobacco production totaled 1.28 billion pounds, up less than 1 percent from the November 1 forecast and 14 percent below 1998. Growers harvested 644,250 acres in 1999, about 1 percent less than the November 1 forecasted acreage and down 10 percent from last year. Yield per acre averaged 1,980 pounds, a 24 pound increase from the previous forecast but down 82 pounds from 1998. Flue-cured production is estimated at 654 million pounds, a decrease of 1 percent from the November 1 forecast and 20 percent less than last year. Harvested acres totaled 304,000, the same as the previous forecast but 18 percent below 1998. Flue-cured yields averaged 2,150 pounds, a decrease of 14 pounds from the November 1 forecast and down 54 pounds from 1998. Burley production totaled 544 million pounds in 1999, down less than 1 percent from the December 1 forecast and 7 percent below last year. Growers harvested 300,400 acres in 1999, less than 1 percent below previously forecasted acres and 2 percent less than last year. Yield per acre averaged 1,812 pounds, down 2 pounds from the December 1 forecast and down 84 pounds from last year. Sugarbeets: Production is estimated at record high 33.3 million tons, 2 percent above the previous record established in 1998. Growers in the 12 sugarbeet-producing States planted 1,562,700 acres, 4 percent more than 1998, and harvested 1,527,100 acres, 5 percent more than last year and the highest since 1,540,500 acres were harvested in 1969. The estimated yield is 21.8 tons per acre, 3 percent below the 1998 yield of 22.5 tons. Compared with the November 1 forecast, increased harvested acres in Minnesota were offset by decreased harvested acres in North Dakota due to a cross-state acreage adjustment. Higher acreage in Michigan was partially offset by lower harvested acres in California. Lower production estimates in California, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Washington were mostly offset by increases in Colorado, Michigan, Ohio, Oregon, and Wyoming. Production remained virtually unchanged in Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota. Favorable harvest weather prevailed across the northern Great Plains. In North Dakota, harvest was complete by mid-October -- a record pace. Harvest was complete by the end of October in Minnesota, well ahead of normal. In Idaho, Montana, and Nebraska, harvest also progressed ahead of normal and was nearly complete by October 31. Mild, dry weather also aided harvest efforts in California, but progress was delayed in Colorado, where temperatures were too warm for stockpiling. Most of the Michigan beet crop was harvested during a 2-week period in late October. Sugarcane: Production is estimated at a record high 35.7 million tons, 3 percent above the previous record of 34.7 million tons set last year. U.S. sugarcane growers expect to harvest a record high 991,200 acres for sugar and seed during the 1999 crop year, 5 percent more than last year's final harvested acres. The record high acreage is due to a 30,000 acre expansion in Louisiana and a 13,000 acre increase in Florida. Yield is estimated at 36.0 tons per acre, slightly below last year's yield of 36.6 tons. Louisiana's estimated yield, at 33.0 tons per acre, is a record high, 3.3 tons above the previous record high set last year. Harvest continues to progress well in Louisiana, but recent heavy rains and larger production will force the harvest season to extend into January, when crop damaging freezing temperatures will be more likely. Grinding was active in Florida, and harvest progressed with few delays. Peppermint Oil: Peppermint oil production in 1999 is estimated at 7.54 million pounds, down 23 percent from 1998. Harvested acres are estimated at 106,300, down 14 percent from 1998 and the lowest since 1993 when harvested acres were 98,300. The average 1999 yield was 71 pounds of oil per acre, down 7 pounds from 1998 and the lowest since 1995 when yield was 70 pounds per acre. Some acres of peppermint were not harvested due to poor market conditions and adverse weather in some of the growing areas. Spearmint Oil: Production of spearmint oil in 1999 is estimated at 2.45 million pounds, down 18 percent from 1998. Area for harvest stood at 24,400 acres, compared with 27,400 acres in 1998. The average yield was 101 pounds of oil per acre, the second highest on record, compared with the record high 109 pounds of oil per acre for 1998. Washington growers produced 73 percent of the 1999 crop, with an average yield of 143 pounds of oil per acre. Although yields were high, some acres of spearmint were not harvested due to poor market conditions and adverse weather in some of the growing areas. Hops: Production of hops for 1999 in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington is 64.5 million pounds, up 8 percent from 1998 but 14 percent below the 1997 output of 74.9 million pounds. Washington and Idaho growers indicated production gains of 11 and 5 percent, respectively, over last year while Oregon producers showed a production decrease of 2 percent. Area harvested for the 1999 crop, at 34,260 acres, was 7 percent less than last year and the lowest level since 1988 when 33,400 acres were harvested. All three states showed declines in harvested acres, accounting for a 2,383 acre decline from 1998. All three states had improved yields during 1999 with Washington growers leading the way at 1,980 pounds per acre, 294 pounds more than last year. Idaho growers averaged 1,408 pounds per acre, 249 pounds more than 1998 which had the lowest yield since 1948. Oregon producers averaged 1,730 pounds per acre, 70 pounds more than the 1998 yield. Washington produced over three-fourths of the total 1999 production. Washington growers sharply increased the acreage of Columbus/Tomahawk and Zeus varieties during the past two years in response to powdery mildew problems. In Washington, growers harvested only 129 acres of the Tettnanger variety compared with the 1,564 acres harvested during 1997. Also, they harvested 1,321 acres of the Cluster variety, a decline of 2,304 acres from 1997. Maple Syrup: The 1999 U.S. maple syrup production totaled 1.18 million gallons, up 2 percent from last year but 9 percent below 1997. Compared to 1998, maple syrup production increased in all States except Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Pennsylvania. Vermont led all states in production with 370,000 gallons, an increase of 3 percent from the 1998 season. Vermont syrup production accounted for 55 percent of all New England production and 31 percent of total United States production. New York's production, at 195,000 gallons, decreased 16 percent. This is the third consecutive year that New York's production has declined. Maine was the third leading state with 187,000 gallons, up 10 percent from last year. The 1999 maple season was less than favorable for all New England states except Connecticut and Maine. Temperatures ranged from too warm to too cold for good sap flow in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont but were favorable in Connecticut and Maine. New York also experienced less than ideal temperatures, ranging from too warm in February to too cold in March. Temperatures in Michigan and Wisconsin were too warm in March, reducing adequate flow. In Ohio and Pennsylvania, temperatures were mostly favorable. Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 10.5 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 1999-00 season, up 11 percent from the 1998-99 season and the largest output since the 1962-63 season. Harvested acreage is estimated at a record high 6,400 acres, up 5 percent from last season. Taro: Hawaii taro production for 1999 is estimated at 6.80 million pounds, up 13 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 500 acres, is up 10 acres from 1998. Favorable weather and improved cultural practices helped to increase yields due to decreased presence of disease. Ginger Root: Hawaii ginger root production is estimated at 16.1 million pounds during the 1998-99 season, down 11 percent from 1997-98. Harvested acreage is estimated at 350 acres, down 3 percent from the previous season. Weather conditions were not favorable for ginger root cultivation during the 1998-99 season. The winter months were wetter than the previous year. As a result, disease set in for many farmers and average yield declined 8 percent to 46,000 pounds per harvested acre. New Seedings of Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixture: Growers seeded 3,436,000 acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during 1999. This is down slightly from the 1998 seeded acreage of 3,549,000 acres. The newly seeded acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures will normally be harvested for dry hay for the first time in the year following the planting. The newly seeded acres in 1998 account for 15 percent of the acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures harvested for dry hay in 1999.
