United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service Cr Pr 2-1 (05) Crop Production 2004 Summary January 2005 Corn for grain production is estimated at 11.8 billion bushels, up less than 1 percent from the November forecast and up 17 percent from the 10.1 billion bushels produced in 2003. The average U.S. grain yield is estimated at 160.4 bushels per acre, 0.2 bushels above the November forecast and up 18.2 bushels from 2003. Both production and yield estimates are the largest on record. The previous record for both was set last year when production was estimated at 10.1 billion bushels and yield was 142.2 bushels per acre. Sorghum for grain production in 2004 is estimated at 455 million bushels, down 4 percent from the November forecast but 11 percent above 2003. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 6.52 million acres, down 16 percent from 2003. Average grain yield, at 69.8 bushels per acre, is 17.1 bushels above the 2003 average yield. Rice production in 2004 totaled a record high 231 million cwt, up 15 percent from 2003 and up 1 percent from the November forecast. Area for harvest, at 3.33 million acres, is up 11 percent from 2003. The average yield for all U.S. rice is estimated at 6,942 pounds per acre, 272 pounds above the 2003 yield. This all rice yield is the highest on record and the fifth consecutive year a new record high yield has been established. The adoption of higher yielding rice varieties by producers continues to drive the increase in yields. Soybean production in 2004 totaled 3.14 billion bushels, the largest U.S. soybean crop in history. This is down slightly from the November forecast but 28 percent above the 2003 level. The average yield per acre is estimated at a record high 42.5 bushels, 0.1 bushel below the November forecast, but 8.6 bushels above the 2003 final yield. All cotton production is estimated at record high 23.0 million bales, up less than 1 percent from last month and 26 percent more than last year's production. Yield is expected to average a record high 846 pounds per acre, up 116 pounds per acre from a year ago. Harvested area, at 13.1 million acres, is down 1 percent from December but 9 percent above 2003. This report was approved on January 12, 2005. Secretary of Agriculture Ann M.

production is the sum of all dry hay production and haylage/greenchop production after converting the haylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent basis (13 percent moisture) by multiplying the green weight (weight at harvest) by .4943. The conversion factor (.4943) is based on the assumption that one ton of dry hay is .87 ton of dry matter, one ton of haylage is .45 ton dry matter and one ton of greenchop is .25 ton dry matter. The total haylage/greenchop production is assumed to be comprised of 90 percent haylage and 10 percent greenchop. Therefore, the conversion factor used to adjust haylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent basis = ((.45*.9)+(.25*.1))/.87 = .4943. The factors assumed here may vary by State and can be adjusted. Adjustments would result in a slightly different conversion factor.

Excessive wetness also affected the southern Plains, but widespread hydrological drought persisted in much of the West. Heavy snows during October-December provided an excellent start to the water year in California, the Great Basin, and the Southwest, raising hopes for improved water supplies in 2005. Winter (December 2003 - February 2004): For the second consecutive year, winter was unusually cold over the eastern third of the country, although the temperature extremes mainly came in January, as Massachusetts saw its coldest January in over 100 years. Outside of the Desert Southwest, where dry weather kept the drought intact, the West tended to be cold and snowy, while the eastern and southern Plains States saw beneficial precipitation that eased drought conditions. In the Plains, severe cold struck near the end of January, following a major snowstorm on January 25-26 that dumped 13.5 inches of snow on Omaha, Nebraska, the city's heaviest snow since 1987. Two later storms dropped another 17.7 inches on the city during the first six days of February. The January storm also deposited 27.1 inches on Duluth, Minnesota, resulting in their third greatest snowstorm on record. Bitter cold invaded the Plains during January 27-31. In North Dakota, the reading of -43 degrees F on January 30 set an all-time low record. Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois all experienced sub-zero readings during the cold wave. The frigid temperatures expanded eastward by month's end, as Cincinnati measured -12 degrees F on the 31st. February rain and snow benefited drought areas in the Plains, West, and upper Midwest. The improved soil moisture was especially beneficial for winter wheat areas in the southern Plains. For the 3-month winter period, precipitation ranged from 100 to 150 percent of normal from eastern Nebraska southward through eastern Kansas into Oklahoma and Texas. In contrast, abnormally dry weather extended from eastern Wyoming into eastern Colorado and Arizona and New Mexico, with precipitation generally ranging from 50 to 75 percent of normal. Drought persisted into March over the central and northern High Plains. Snowy, cold weather resulted in favorable mountain snowpack from the Intermountain West to the central and northern Rockies by late February, offering hope for relief from the prolonged drought that had persisted from late 1999 or 2000 in much of the region. Despite the late January-early February cold wave, winter mean temperatures averaged 1 to 2 degrees F above normal over the central States, while readings averaged 2 to 4 degrees F below normal for the Eastern Seaboard as well as in the Great Basin. Spring (March - May): Record warmth and dryness drastically reduced snowpack during March. Monthly temperatures averaged 4 to 8 degrees F above normal from the Pacific Coast eastward to the Plains, with readings as much as 10 degrees F above normal in the Desert Southwest. The warmth, combined with precipitation totals less than 25 percent of normal, sharply cut snowpack, resulting in dramatically lower forecasts of spring and summer streamflows. For the West as a whole, March 2004 was the warmest and driest March in 110 years of record-keeping. Spring was abnormally wet across the Farm Belt, with March-May rainfall averaging 100 to 200 percent of normal from the Ohio Valley northward into the Great Lakes region and the upper Midwest. Spring was also unusually mild for most of the country, resulting in the third-warmest spring on record nationwide. April was the second consecutive month of abnormal dryness in parts of the Southeast, where March rainfall totaled less than 25 percent of normal, but scattered heavy rains in mid-April and toward the end of the month eased dryness concerns. A wetter April followed the dry March across the interior West, with flooding rains hitting southern New Mexico early in the month. Flash flooding also affected southern and western Texas. March-May cumulative precipitation exceeded twice normal from New Mexico into southern Texas. Rain and snow benefited farmers over the central High Plains in April, although the region also endured a hard freeze on April 13 as thermometers dropped to 19 degrees F in Liberal and Garden City, Kansas, threatening the winter wheat crop. Freezing temperatures again threatened crops in the Plains and Midwest during May 3-4 and May 13-15. Readings on May 3 dipped into the teens in Wisconsin and the 20s in Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana. May 14 temperatures ranging from 26 to 30 degrees F affected heading winter wheat in northwestern Kansas, while temperatures down to 28 degrees F resulted in spotty damage to wheat in southwestern Kansas. A front extending across the northern States set up the conditions for excessive rainfall and numerous severe weather outbreaks in the Corn Belt during May. Midwestern downpours in mid- to-late May slowed or stopped soybean and final corn planting due to widespread lowland flooding. Cool weather hampered summer crop development in the upper Midwest, one of the few areas of the country that saw below-normal temperatures this spring. On May 29-30, a massive outbreak of severe thunderstorms led to about 1,200 reports of hail, tornadoes, and damaging winds across the Midwest. The final month's total of 526 tornadoes nationally was just 17 short of the all-time monthly record set in May 2003. Dry weather allowed drought to persist in the central and northern High Plains, as spring precipitation averaged less than 75 percent of normal from southeastern Montana into western Kansas, with amounts less than one-half of normal in southeastern Montana, eastern Wyoming, and western Nebraska. Summer (June - August): Abundant rains kept soil moisture high across the South, East, and much of the Midwest, while summer temperatures ranked among the lowest on record across the Plains, Midwest, and interior South. Too much rain in the East, partly due to Hurricanes Charley and Gaston and Tropical Storm Bonnie, caused crop disease and quality concerns. Summer temperatures averaged 4 degrees F below normal across the western Corn Belt and upper Midwest, and around 2 degrees F below normal elsewhere east of the Rockies. This resulted in the coolest summer across the Midwest and nationwide since 1992. Summer 2004 was also the Corn Belt's wettest since 1998 and the wettest nationwide since 1993. In sharp contrast, a persistent ridge maintained warm and dry conditions over Alaska, which notched its warmest summer on record, as statewide temperatures averaged nearly 5 degrees F above normal. This was also one of Alaska's driest summers, and the heat and dryness resulted in a record number of acres burned by wildfires this year (around 6.5 million). In the West, rainfall tended to be above normal in the northern Great Basin and northern Rockies but below normal in the Southwest and Colorado River Basin. Outside of the Northwest, which experienced its third warmest summer, the West's temperatures averaged near or slightly above normal. Despite cool weather, crop development remained ahead of the normal pace across much of the Midwest, with the exception being the northwestern Corn Belt, where the persistent coolness resulted in pronounced crop development delays. Abundant moisture and lack of sustained heat resulted in overall favorable growing conditions for the Corn Belt, resulting in record corn and soybean production. The tropical storm season got off to a slow start, with no named tropical storms developing by late July. Finally, Alex became the first named storm of the season on August 1, passing within about 10 miles of Cape Hatteras on August 3 as a category-2 hurricane. In the Gulf of Mexico, Bonnie moved into the Florida Panhandle as a minimal tropical storm on August 12. The next 6 weeks made history as four hurricanes struck Florida, the first time since 1886 that any State has experienced four hurricanes in a single season. The storms destroyed 25,000 homes and damaged another 40,000 and caused considerable crop losses. The storms also brought severe weather, tornadoes, and flooding to many other States across the Southeast. Hurricane Charley made landfall in southwestern Florida as a category-4 storm on August 13, causing massive property damage in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte. The storm continued northeastward, resulting in a swath of destruction across the State, including the Orlando area. Charley came ashore again in South Carolina on August 14 with 80-mph winds. Preliminary damage estimates of 14 billion dollars made this the second costliest tropical cyclone in U.S. history, behind Andrew in 1992. Hurricane Gaston struck the coast of South Carolina on August 29 as a minimal hurricane. Gaston moved northeastward over North Carolina and across the Delmarva Peninsula on the 30th, triggering widespread flooding across the Carolinas and Virginia as rainfall totals reached as high as 12 inches. Autumn (September - November): The seemingly relentless hurricane season continued, as Hurricane Frances made landfall on Florida's east coast as a category-2 storm on September 5. The storm hit the coast near Sewall's Point, continued west-northwestward across the central peninsula to the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, made landfall again near St. Marks, Florida as a tropical storm, and then moved northward through the eastern United States. The damage costs reached $9 billion, and the storm was blamed for six deaths. Ivan tracked northward through the Gulf of Mexico and struck the Gulf Shores, Alabama area as a category-3 hurricane on September 16, causing considerable damage to northwest Florida before moving northeastward and emerging off the Delmarva Peninsula on September 19. Ivan brought widespread severe weather to the East, including tornadoes as far north as Maryland. Ivan's remains eventually returned to the Gulf of Mexico and re-intensified to tropical storm strength before making a second landfall over Louisiana on the 24th. Ivan was blamed for 26 direct U.S. deaths and $13 billion in damages, making this storm the third costliest in U.S. history. Jeanne made landfall on Florida's east coast as a category-3 hurricane on September 25 very close to where Frances struck the coast just 20 days earlier. Jeanne proceeded northward as a tropical storm through the Florida peninsula, weakening to a tropical depression over Georgia. This was the third hurricane to affect the major citrus and vegetable areas on the Florida peninsula. Matthew came ashore in Louisiana as a weak tropical storm on October 10, causing minimal damage. All told, six hurricanes and three tropical storms struck the United States in 2004. The total damage estimates of around $40 billion made this the costliest tropical storm season on record. In October, two major Pacific storms struck the West. The first storm buffeted the region with rain and snow during October 19-22, and a second bout of storminess struck a few days later. The first storm delivered lowland flooding and heavy mountain snows to California and points eastward. The Sierra Nevada picked up 2 to 3 feet of snow. In Nevada, the 9.78 inches measured on October 20 near Las Vegas set a new 24-hour State record. In Utah, several feet of snow blanketed the mountains. Persistent southerly flow of moist air brought huge rainfall totals to the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley during November, causing major flooding in east Texas. Lufkin, Texas saw 16.23 inches in the first four weeks of the month. The San Antonio River at Goliad, Texas crested 15.42 feet above flood stage on November 27. The late-month storm system causing the flooding in east Texas tracked northeastward to southern Illinois on the 24th, spreading heavy rain and severe weather across the South and snow over the Midwest. More than 75 tornadoes struck from Texas to the southern Atlantic States during November 22-24. Texas recorded its second wettest summer since such records began in 1895 and its third wettest autumn. The wet autumn on the southern High Plains stressed livestock, threatened the quality of open-boll cotton, and hampered summer crop harvesting. December: A cold snap brought freezing temperatures to California crop areas at the end of November and during early December. Bakersfield, California recorded freezes on 6 consecutive mornings from November 29-December 4, setting or tying records each day. Large parts of the West measured temperatures averaging 10 to 18 degrees F below normal for the week ending December 4. In the eastern half of the country, one of the coldest December air masses in recent years invaded the United States on December 19-21, bringing sub-zero wind chills to the Midwest and Northeast and freezing temperatures as far south as northern Florida. Daytime temperatures in the major cities across the Midwest barely climbed into the teens on December 19, and struggled to exceed 0 degrees F in upstate New York on the next day. A major storm system brought heavy snow on December 22-23 from Texas to the Great Lakes, with up to 20 inches or more of snow in Indiana and Ohio. Arctic air followed the storm, resulting in widespread sub-zero cold on Christmas morning across the Plains and the Midwest. Denver saw -9 degrees F on the 25th, and Cleveland measured a record -17 degrees F. A low in the Gulf of Mexico brought snow to southern Texas as far south as the Rio Grande Valley on Christmas Eve. Up to a foot fell in Victoria, and the 1.5 inches measured in Brownsville was their first measurable snow since 1895. A series of Pacific storms began to hammer California and the interior West on Dec. 27-31, burying the Sierra Nevada with massive snowfalls and inundating the valleys with heavy rains. Downtown Los Angeles recorded 8.15 inches of rain during the last 5 days of December, and 8 feet of snow buried the Tahoe ski areas. The storms caused flooding in California and Arizona, but the increased mountain snowpack across the Southwest and Great Basin eased drought concerns. 2004 Annual Crop Summary April: Warm, dry conditions across the Corn Belt, combined with ample precipitation in March, provided nearly ideal planting conditions for summer crops. By month's end, 63 percent of the Nation's corn crop had been planted, 23 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average, while growers in the central Corn Belt were over 30 points ahead of their normal pace. Planting of small grains also advanced well ahead of normal, with 68 percent of the spring wheat crop, 63 percent of the barley crop, and 77 percent of the oat crop planted by month's end. Cotton planting progressed slightly ahead of normal with mostly dry conditions in the major producing areas, though some growers delayed planting due to insufficient moisture in the Southeast. Rice, sorghum, and sugarbeet planting progress also advanced ahead of the normal pace, while peanuts lagged slightly behind the 5-year average. May: Planting of summer crops continued to advance rapidly through the first half of the month as warm, dry conditions prevailed in the Corn Belt and Southeast. By mid-month, 92 percent of the Nation's corn acreage had been planted, compared with 77 percent for the 5-year average. Planting was nearly complete in the western Corn Belt and Southeast and was ahead of normal in all States. Plantings of soybeans and small grains were also well ahead of the normal pace, while cotton, rice, and sorghum plantings were slightly ahead of normal. After mid-month, however, heavy rainfall slowed planting progress in the Corn Belt. Nevertheless, planting progress for most crops finished the month ahead of the normal pace. Emergence of summer crops advanced rapidly in most areas under mostly warm, though often wet, conditions. However, in the upper Midwest, temperatures averaged below normal for the month, slowing crop development. Emergence of corn and soybeans began to slip behind normal in the northern Corn Belt. Meanwhile, a hard freeze in the northern and central Great Plains around mid-month only minimally damaged the winter wheat crop. June: Heavy rainfall limited fieldwork and flooded some fields in the Corn Belt and Delta, but most of the summer crop acreage had already been planted. In the Corn Belt and Great Plains, below-normal temperatures prevailed, slowing crop development. Heading of spring wheat, barley, and oats began to fall behind the normal pace, despite ahead-of-normal planting and emergence. Corn silking and soybean blooming, however, remained slightly ahead of normal nationwide, while cotton, sorghum, and rice development lagged slightly behind normal. Winter wheat harvest progressed rapidly during the month, reaching 51 percent complete by June 27, ten points ahead of the 5-year average. July: Below-normal temperatures slowed crop development across the Great Plains, Corn Belt, Ohio Valley, Delta, and interior areas of the Southeast. Due to early planting and emergence, corn and soybean development in most States advanced ahead of normal, but in the northern Great Plains and northern Corn Belt, the lack of heat units severely hampered growth. Winter wheat harvest slowed during the month and finished slightly behind normal, while harvest of other small grains started slowly. Meanwhile, the cotton crop developed at a normal pace nationwide, though Texas' crop began to lag behind as a result of cool, wet conditions. Rice heading progressed well, finishing the month slightly ahead of normal, while sorghum heading and coloring slipped slightly behind the 5-year average. August: Hurricane Charley was the first of 4 hurricanes to strike Florida this year, causing considerable damage to citrus crops. For neighboring States in the Southeast and up the Atlantic Coast, however, the heavy rainfall from Charley, as well as Hurricane Alex and Tropical Storm Bonnie, were generally beneficial to cotton and peanut crops in the area. Elsewhere, below-normal temperatures continued to prevail across the Corn Belt and Great Plains, further delaying crop development, particularly in the northernmost areas of the regions. On August 29, corn denting was 3 weeks behind the normal pace in North Dakota and 2 weeks behind in Minnesota. Small grain harvest fell well behind normal, with spring wheat trailing the normal harvest pace by 25 points, barley by 14 points, and oats by 8 points. Opening of cotton bolls was also hindered by cool weather in the Delta, where progress trailed the normal pace by a week. Sorghum and rice development also trailed the normal nationwide pace. September: Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne came ashore 3 weeks apart in nearly identical locations along Florida's Atlantic Coast, dealing two more blows to the State's already-hard-hit citrus crops. Between these two damaging storms, another hurricane, Ivan, hit the Gulf Coast of Florida and Alabama. The 3 storms followed similar paths through the Atlantic Coast States, weakening in strength but dumping heavy rainfall on vulnerable open-boll cotton fields in the Southeast. In the northern Corn Belt and northern Great Plains, where a cool summer had limited development of summer crops, above-normal temperatures prevailed during the month. However, corn maturation in that area remained well behind normal at month's end, with North Dakota and Minnesota lagging by 73 points and 56 points, respectively. Soybean harvest had begun in all States, but trailed behind the 5-year average pace in the upper Midwest, again due to delayed development during the summer. Sorghum coloring and maturation slipped to a week behind normal, while harvest fell 2 weeks behind. Development and harvest of the cotton crop also trailed the normal pace, mostly due to cool conditions in Texas. The rice harvest, however, advanced rapidly with warm, dry weather in all growing areas. Meanwhile, planting and emergence of the 2005 winter wheat crop progressed ahead of normal. Spring wheat, barley, and oat growers also struggled to complete their harvest after cool summer weather severely delayed maturation. October: Warm but rainy conditions prevailed across the Corn Belt, Ohio Valley, Delta, and Great Plains, further delaying harvest of summer crops. Soybean harvest trailed the normal pace by 5 days nationwide, while corn harvest was over a week behind. North Dakota producers lagged 2 weeks behind on soybean harvest and 3 weeks behind on corn. Harvest of cotton and sorghum continued to trail behind normal in the southern Great Plains, due to persistent rainfall and earlier developmental delays. Winter wheat planting was hindered by rainfall, but ended the month at the average pace, while emergence remained ahead of normal. The affects of the cool summer on the sunflower crop became apparent, with harvest only 25 percent complete at month's end, compared to the 5-year average of 76 percent. The sugarbeet harvest advanced rapidly during the month as cool weather permitted piling, but progress at month's end trailed slightly behind normal. The peanut harvest was also slightly behind normal. November: Except for the West Coast, Southwest, and southern High Plains, temperatures averaged above normal for the month. In the Corn Belt, moderate rainfall caused only minor harvest delays. However, heavy rainfall in the southern Great Plains severely hampered harvest activities, particularly for sorghum and cotton. The corn harvest was 95 percent complete nationwide by month's end, but continued to lag well behind normal in the northern Great Plains and adjacent areas of the Corn Belt, with North Dakota growers trailing their average pace by over 4 weeks. Meanwhile, soybean growers had harvested 95 percent of their acreage by November 21, slightly behind normal. Three-fourths of the cotton crop had been harvested by month's end, 10 points behind normal, with producers in the southern Great Plains lagging 3 to 4 weeks behind. The sunflower harvest began the month at 25 percent complete, over 50 points behind normal, but progressed rapidly during the month to 92 percent complete. Winter wheat planting was slightly behind normal, but emergence remained slightly ahead of normal. December: Warm, dry conditions prevailed across the Corn Belt and Great Plains, encouraging final harvest of summer crops. However, some corn and soybean fields in the northernmost areas and some cotton fields in the southern Plains remained unharvested at year's end. Temperatures averaged below normal in the Delta and Southeast, with historic snowfall along the western Gulf Coast on Christmas morning. In the Ohio Valley and central Atlantic Coast States, heavy snow during the week prior to Christmas disrupted holiday travel. At month's end, snow accumulation in the northern Great Plains, northern Rocky Mountains, and Pacific Northwest was well below normal, leaving winter wheat vulnerable to extremely cold weather. Corn: U.S. grain production is estimated at 11.8 billion bushels, up less than 1 percent from the November forecast and up 17 percent from 2003. The average U.S. grain yield is estimated at 160.4 bushels per acre, 0.2 bushels above the November forecast and up 18.2 bushels from 2003. Both production and yield estimates are the largest on record. The previous record for both was set last year when production was estimated at 10.1 billion bushels and yield was 142.2 bushels per acre. Across the U.S., record high yields were achieved in 24 of the 41 States in the corn for grain estimating program. With the exception of Wisconsin, yields in the Corn Belt States reached record highs as weather conditions were mostly favorable throughout the growing season. Planted area totaled 80.9 million acres, up 3 percent from last year. Corn planted area is either up or unchanged in all but 13 States. Area harvested for grain, at 73.6 million acres, is up 4 percent from 2003. Farmers harvested 6.10 million acres for silage, a 7 percent decrease from last year. However, the number of acres abandoned this year increased to 1.20 million acres, up 11 percent from the 1.08 million acres abandoned in 2003. The biggest increase in abandonment occurred in North Dakota. Cool, wet summer conditions combined with early freezes in August and September prevented the crop in many areas from fully developing and maturing to the point that was needed for producers to harvest. Corn silage production is estimated at 107 million tons, down fractionally from the 2003 level. Silage area decreased due to better growing conditions in many States causing more acres to be harvested for grain and fewer acres cut for silage. The drop in acres was offset by an increase in yield with 17.6 tons per acre realized in 2004. This is 1.3 tons above last year's yield of 16.3 tons per acre. Planting conditions during the Spring were good as growers were able to progress ahead of a normal pace for that time of year. Planting progress slowed after mid-May as heavy rains soaked Corn Belt fields but progress remained ahead of the normal pace. The rapid planting progress and warm conditions also spurred emergence during the month of May. However, in the upper Midwest, temperatures averaged below normal during May which slowed crop development. Throughout most of July, temperatures were below normal with above-normal precipitation. In the Great Plains, moderate to heavy precipitation caused some flooding in the central and southern parts of the region, while the Dakotas remained mostly dry. Due to early planting and emergence, development in most States advanced ahead of normal, but in the northern Great Plains and northern Corn Belt, the lack of heat units hampered growth. During August, below-normal temperatures prevailed, particularly in the northernmost areas where crop development progressed behind the normal pace. Along the Atlantic Coast, temperatures also averaged below normal, while Tropical Storm Bonnie and Hurricanes Alex and Charley brought abundant rainfall to most coastal areas. Moderate precipitation and below-normal temperatures prevailed across the Delta while much needed rainfall was received in the Rocky Mountains. In the northern Corn Belt and northern Great Plains, where a cool summer hampered crop development, progress failed to gain ground despite above-normal temperatures being prevalent during September. Maturation in that area also remained well behind normal at month's end. Harvest completion by the end of September was behind the normal pace nationwide, particularly in the northern Corn Belt and northern Great Plains. Wet field conditions in the central and southern Great Plains also hampered fieldwork. In addition to developmental delays from the unusually cool summer, persistent rainfall during October hampered fieldwork, particularly in the Corn Belt and northern Great Plains. By month's end, harvest was lagging even further behind the normal pace. At the end of November, nearly all of the corn had been harvested, but progress continued to lag well behind normal in the northern Great Plains and adjacent areas of the Corn Belt. The 2004 corn objective yield data showed a record high ear count per acre for the combined 10 Objective Yield States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). The 2004 ear count is 3 percent above the previous record high set in 2003. Sorghum: Grain production in 2004 is estimated at 455 million bushels, down 4 percent from the November forecast but 11 percent above 2003. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 6.52 million acres, down 16 percent from 2003. Average grain yield, at 69.8 bushels per acre, is down 2.1 bushels from the previous forecast but 17.1 bushels above the 2003 average yield. Grain yields are down from the previous forecast due to wet conditions during November that slowed maturity and delayed harvest in much of the Great Plains. Silage production is estimated at 4.76 million tons, up 34 percent from 2003. Area cut for silage is 352,000 acres, 3 percent higher than the previous year. Silage yields averaged 13.5 tons per acre, up 3.1 tons per acre from last year. Kansas led the Nation in area planted for all purposes and grain production, while Texas led the Nation for silage production. Seventeen of the 24 estimating States had grain yields greater than or equal to last year. Large increases in acreage harvested for silage occurred in California and New Mexico, as some producers replaced corn with sorghum which requires less water. The largest increases in silage yields were in Kansas and Texas, up 6 tons per acre from last year. By the end of October, harvest was complete in Arkansas and Louisiana, but was behind normal in all of the remaining States. In Kansas, as a result of rainfall and wet field conditions during the middle of October, only 52 percent of the crop was harvested, well behind the 5-year average of 80 percent. By the end of November, the crop was only 85 percent harvested, compared to 96 percent for the 5-year average. Harvest in Texas also lagged behind normal as cooler temperatures and above normal precipitation in October hindered progress. At the end of November, the crop was 82 percent harvested, well behind the 5-year average of 93 percent. Oats: The 2004 production of oats is estimated at 116 million bushels, down 20 percent from last year and down less than 1 percent from the Small Grains 2004 Summary. The estimated yield is 64.7 bushels per acre, down 0.3 bushel from a year ago. Record high yields are estimated in South Dakota and Washington. Harvested area is 1.79 million acres, 19 percent below last year. This is the smallest acreage harvested for grain on record, continuing a steady downward trend. Compared with last year, area harvested for grain declined 75,000 acres in Minnesota, 140,000 acres in North Dakota, and 60,000 acres in South Dakota. All updates to the Small Grains 2004 Summary were previously published in the November 2004 Crop Production report. During April, much of the Corn Belt and Great Plains regions experienced favorable weather conditions and adequate soil moisture, allowing planting to progress ahead of normal. In the Ohio and upper Mississippi Valleys, planting continued at a rapid pace through month's end. By April 25, the major oat-producing States had 61 percent of the acreage planted compared with 40 percent for the 5-year average. The northern Great Plains received frequent showers around mid-May which provided much-needed moisture for the emerging crop. However, below normal temperatures slowed crop development slightly. In the Corn Belt, beneficial rains allowed for adequate growth and development. By the end of May, 92 percent had emerged compared with 87 percent for the 5-year average. During June, cooler weather in the northern Great Plains began to slow crop development, while in the Corn Belt lower temperatures did not have much of an adverse effect on the crop. During July, fields entered the heading stage and matured at a near normal pace in all States except Minnesota, where cool weather caused progress to lag. By August 1, harvest had begun in all States, but was behind normal due to continued cool weather and areas of thunderstorms. By the end of the month favorably drier conditions allowed harvest to advance to near normal levels, except in Minnesota and North Dakota. On September 5, harvest was 90 percent complete in Minnesota and 79 percent complete in North Dakota, compared with 97 percent and 87 percent for their respective 5-year averages. Elsewhere, harvest was virtually complete. In Minnesota, harvest was virtually complete by the middle of September, and in North Dakota harvest continued through the first week of October. Both States concluded harvest about two weeks later than normal. Barley: Production is estimated at 279 million bushels, unchanged from the November 1 Crop Production report but up slightly from last year's estimate. Average yield per acre, at 69.4 bushels, is the same as in November but 10.5 bushels above 2003. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 4.02 million acres, 15 percent below a year ago. Nationally, harvested area is the smallest since 1894 but yield is a new record high, 6.9 bushels above the previous record of 62.5 bushels set in 1992. Record State yields were set in Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, and South Dakota. This year's barley crop got an early start in the five major-producing States, with planting and emergence advancing well ahead of the 5-year average. However, as below-normal temperatures prevailed across the northern Great Plains and northern Corn Belt throughout the summer, development lagged behind the normal pace. On August 29, harvest was 61 percent complete, 29 points behind last year and 14 points behind normal. With maturity delayed by the cool summer conditions, Minnesota growers had harvested just 50 percent of their acreage, 37 points behind normal, while North Dakota producers, with 57 percent of their acreage harvested, trailed the normal pace by 21 points. Harvest progressed rapidly in September, reaching 96 percent complete by September 26, but remained 2 points behind the 5-year average. All Wheat: Production of all wheat totaled 2.16 billion bushels in 2004, fractionally below the Small Grains 2004 Summary and 8 percent below 2003. Grain area is 50.0 million acres, down 6 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 43.2 bushels per acre, down 1.0 bushel from a year ago. All updates to the Small Grains 2004 Summary were previously published in the November 2004 Crop Production report. Winter Wheat: The 2004 winter wheat production is estimated at 1.50 billion bushels. This is unchanged from the Small Grains 2004 Summary but 13 percent below last year's crop. The U.S. yield is 43.5 bushels per acre, 3.2 bushels below last year's final yield. Acreage for grain is estimated at 34.5 million acres, 6 percent below 2003. Planted area is 43.4 million acres, down 4 percent from the previous year. Hard Red Winter (HRW) harvested acreage was down significantly from last year in the central Great Plains and Montana due to fewer planted acres and higher than normal abandonment. Dry spring conditions led to lower yields in all Plains States, except Texas, South Dakota, and Montana. Timely rains in South Dakota and Montana resulted in better yields than in 2003. Yields in Texas rebounded from below average levels last year. Overall, HRW production totals 856 million bushels, down 20 percent from last year. Soft Red Winter (SRW) producing States' yields improved significantly from poor yields last year in the South and along the Atlantic coast. Yields declined from very good levels last year in most other States. Overall, SRW production is down fractionally from 2003 and totals 380 million bushels. White Winter production, at 263 million bushels, is down 1 percent from last year. Improved yields more than offset lower acreage in the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington). Excellent irrigated and non-irrigated yields in Idaho resulted in a State level yield equal to the record high set in 2000. Other Spring Wheat: Production in 2004 is estimated at 569 million bushels, down 1 percent from the Small Grains 2004 Summary but up 7 percent from 2003. Harvested area is 13.2 million acres, 2 percent lower than last year. The U.S. yield is a record high 43.2 bushels per acre, 3.7 bushels better than last year and 1.4 bushels higher than the previous record set in 1992. All updates to the Small Grains 2004 Summary were previously published in the November 2004 Crop Production report. Dry spring conditions resulted in timely seeding of the crop. Early planting combined with timely rains resulted in rapid emergence. Crop development slowed throughout the summer due to cool temperatures and frequent precipitation, especially in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. Cool, damp weather continued into August and September, delaying harvest progress. As of September 26, only 88 percent of the crop was harvested, 10 points behind the 5-year average. Yields were better than last year in all States except Minnesota and Wisconsin, with large increases in most States. Objective yield survey data showed very high plant populations and weight per head in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Montana. Timely rains in eastern Idaho resulted in very good dryland yields. Durum Wheat: Production for 2004 totaled 89.9 million bushels, down 1 percent from the Small Grains 2004 Summary and 7 percent less than last year. Grain area harvested totaled 2.36 million acres, 18 percent below a year ago. The U.S. yield is estimated at 38.0 bushels per acre, 4.3 bushels above 2003. North Dakota's Durum harvest was only 42 percent complete as of September 12, more than 2 weeks behind the 5-year average and 3 weeks behind last year. Wet weather continued to slow harvest progress throughout September and October. As of November 7, ninety-six percent of the crop was harvested, 4 weeks behind normal. All updates to the Small Grains 2004 Summary were previously published in the November 2004 Crop Production report. Rice: Production of rice in 2004 totaled a record high 231 million cwt, up 15 percent from 2003 and up 1 percent from the November forecast. Area for harvest, at 3.33 million acres, is up 11 percent from 2003. The average yield for all U.S. rice is estimated at 6,942 pounds per acre, 272 pounds above the 2003 yield. This all rice yield is the highest on record and the fifth consecutive year a new record high yield has been established. The adoption of higher yielding rice varieties by producers continues to drive the increase in yields. Arkansas, California, Mississippi, and Missouri established new record high yields. Delta State producers experienced an excellent year for rice production with the exception of Louisiana, which experienced a cloudy, cool early growing season. California also experienced a near ideal growing season. Long grain rice yielded 6,569 pounds per acre across the Nation with U.S. production at 169 million cwt. Medium grain rice yielded 8,325 pounds per acre in 2004 with production at 58.7 million cwt. Short grain rice averaged 6,588 pounds per acre and production totaled 3.23 million cwt. Rye: Production for 2004 is estimated at 8.62 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2004 Summary but down fractionally from last year. Harvested area totaled 320,000 acres, up 1,000 from 2003. The U.S. yield, at 26.9 bushels per acre, is down 0.2 bushel from last year. Oklahoma leads the Nation in production and recorded their largest crop on record. South Dakota set a new record high yield, breaking last year's record by 11 bushels per acre. Proso Millet: Total 2004 proso millet production is estimated at 15.1 million bushels, up 32 percent from the 2003 production of 11.5 million bushels. Yields are also higher in 2004 with the average yield estimated at 25.3 bushels per acre, up 6.8 bushels per acre from last year. Planted area for the 2004 crop is 710,000 acres, 3 percent below last year and harvested area totaled 595,000 acres, down 4 percent from 2003. Increased acreage in Colorado was more than offset by decreases in Nebraska and South Dakota. Conditions for growing proso millet were generally favorable in 2004. Producers in Colorado increased their planted acreage from last year as they were encouraged by precipitation at the beginning of June. Also, growers there benefitted from an extended growing season as plantings as late as July were realized in fields where winter wheat failed. However, growers in Nebraska and South Dakota decreased their acreage from 2003 as drought conditions prevailed during the planting season in most areas where proso millet is grown. Rainfall during the growing season in all three States was better than the last two years which allowed yields to return to more normal levels. All Hay: Production of dry hay for 2004 is estimated at 158 million tons, down 5 percent from the October 1 forecast but up fractionally from the 2003 total. Area harvested, at 61.9 million acres, is up less than 1 percent from the October forecast but down 2 percent from 2003. The average yield, at 2.55 tons per acre, is down 0.14 ton from October but up 0.06 ton from the previous year. Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Hay production in 2004 totaled 75.4 million tons, down 3 percent from the October 1 forecast and down 1 percent from 2003. Harvested area, at 21.7 million acres, is 2 percent below October and 8 percent below the previous year. Yields averaged 3.47 tons per acre, down 0.01 ton from the October forecast but up 0.23 ton from the 2003 yield. Area harvested in 2004 is the lowest since 1952. With the exception of the Southwest and the southern Great Plains, most other States had lower acreage harvested than in 2003. South Dakota harvested 450,000 fewer acres and North Dakota harvested 300,000 acres less than last year as relatively high levels of hay stocks from the previous crop year limited the area harvested for dry hay. Yields increased from last year across most of the Great Plains and Corn Belt as weather conditions throughout the growing season were favorable. Sufficient moisture in the spring favored early season development, while frequent precipitation during the summer months aided growth. All Other Hay: Production in 2004 totaled 82.4 million tons, down 7 percent from the October 1 forecast but up 1 percent from the 2003 total. Area for harvest, at 40.2 million acres, is up 2 percent from the October forecast and 1 percent above last year. The average yield is estimated at a record high 2.05 tons per acre, up 0.01 ton from last year. Harvested acreage increased in most of the Great Plains States and adjacent areas of the central Corn Belt. In Montana and North Dakota, higher than normal small grain acres were cut for hay. Record yields were established in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington. Yields in much of the central Corn Belt increased from last year as mild summer temperatures and adequate rainfall throughout the growing season provided for ideal growing conditions. Yields are also higher than last year in the Intermountain West and Pacific Northwest region, as growers in Washington are harvesting an increasing area of higher yielding Timothy hay for export. Forage: Eight States participate in the forage estimation program, which measures annual production of forage crops, with an emphasis on total alfalfa production. Acres, yield, and production are reported for haylage and greenchop together, and for total forage production. Haylage and greenchop production is converted to 13 percent moisture and combined with dry hay production to derive the total forage production. Wisconsin, the leading State, harvested 1.60 million acres of all haylage and greenchop in 2004, of which 1.45 million was alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. All haylage and greenchop acreage in Wisconsin is down 6 percent from last year. New Seedings of Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Growers seeded 2.79 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during 2004. This is down 10 percent from the 2003 seeded acreage of 3.12 million acres. The new seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures will normally be harvested for the first time in the year following planting. Peanuts: Production of peanuts in 2004 totaled 4.26 billion pounds, up 3 percent from last year's crop and up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast. Planted area for the U.S., at 1.43 million acres, is up 6 percent from 2003. Harvested area totaled 1.39 million acres, up 6 percent from 2003. The U.S. yield per harvested acre averaged 3,057 pounds, down 102 pounds from 2003. Record high yields were set in New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Virginia. Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina) totaled 2.86 billion pounds, up 3 percent from 2003. Area planted in the region totaled 1.00 million acres, up 14 percent from 2003. Harvested acres, at 972,000, were up 13 percent from 2003. The average yield for the Southeast area is 2,946 pounds per acre, 292 pounds below last year. Production from the Virginia-North Carolina area totaled 461 million pounds, up 11 percent from 2003. Planted acres, at 138,000, are up 2 percent from 2003. Harvested acres, at 137,000, are up 3 percent from 2003. The average yield per harvested acre in the Virginia-North Carolina region, at 3,365 pounds, is up 239 pounds from 2003. The Southwest peanut crop (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) totaled 937 million pounds, down 2 percent from 2003. Planted acres, at 292,000, are down 12 percent from 2003. Harvested acres, at 285,000, are down 11 percent from 2003. Yields in the tri-State area averaged 3,289 pounds per acre, 326 pounds above 2003. Canola: Production in 2004 is 1.34 billion pounds, down 11 percent from 2003. The canola yield, at 1,618 pounds per acre, is up 203 pounds from last year and is the highest yield on record, surpassing the previous record set in 1998 by 170 pounds. Area planted to canola is estimated at 865,000 acres, 20 percent below last year's acreage. Harvested area, at 828,000 acres, is down 22 percent from 2003. As the leading State, North Dakota production is estimated at 1.22 billion pounds, down 10 percent from last year. Despite record high yields in North Dakota, the production decrease is a result of substantially lower planted and harvested acreage from last year. Sunflower: The 2004 sunflower production totaled 2.05 billion pounds, 23 percent below the 2003 production and down 16 percent from 2002. The U.S. average yield per acre, at 1,197 pounds, decreased 16 pounds from 2003. Planted area, at 1.87 million acres, is 20 percent below last year. Acreage harvested decreased 22 percent from last year to 1.71 million acres. Production in North Dakota, the leading State, is estimated at 792 million pounds, down 48 percent from 2003. The yield per acre, at 1,002 pounds, is down 302 pounds from last year. Planted and harvested acres decreased from 2003 by 27 and 32 percent, respectively. U.S. production of oil type sunflower varieties, at 1.76 billion pounds, decreased 22 percent from 2003. Harvested acres are down 24 percent from the previous year but the yield increased by 31 pounds. Production of non-oil sunflower varieties, at 286 million pounds, decreased 29 percent from last year. Acreage harvested of non-oil varieties is down 11 percent from 2003 and the average yield declined 259 pounds from last year to 997 pounds per acre. Soybeans: Production in 2004 totaled 3.14 billion bushels, the largest U.S. soybean crop in history. This is down slightly from the November forecast but 28 percent above the 2003 level. The average yield per acre is estimated at a record high 42.5 bushels, 0.1 bushel below the November forecast, but 8.6 bushels above the 2003 final yield. Planted area for the Nation, at 75.2 million acres, is up 2 percent from 2003. Soybean growers harvested a total of 74.0 million acres, up 2 percent from last year. Yields are up dramatically from last year across most of the U.S., due to adequate moisture and mild temperatures during the growing season, especially at critical stages of soybean development. From New Jersey westward through the Corn Belt to Kansas, and south along the Atlantic Coast, a total of fourteen States established new record high yields. In the Delta and Southeast, yields are either at record highs or only two bushels or less below last year's record breaking yields. However, yields in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and the Dakotas are far from record-breaking, though only North Dakota yields actually declined from 2003. Planting of the 2004 soybean crop started off ahead of normal across the U.S. and made excellent progress until mid-May. Wet weather slowed planting progress and cool temperatures slowed crop development from the Delta northward through the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley. Some Minnesota and Wisconsin producers struggled with saturated ground well into June, but most farmers in other areas finished planting ahead of normal as soils dried out and summer began. Below-normal temperatures dominated the U.S. most of the summer, slowing plant development at times. Adequate precipitation and short warm spells provided generally favorable conditions and proved beneficial during the critical reproductive stages of development. In the northern Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains, where planting was late, the crop struggled to mature in the cool, damp weather throughout the growing season. The only major drought concerns on the soybean crop were in Georgia prior to the onset of an active hurricane season. A cold snap during mid-August brought an early widespread frost across North Dakota, areas of Minnesota and as far south as northern Iowa. This had a negative impact on the soybean crop, especially those late planted, immature fields that were just setting or beginning to fill pods. September brought above-normal temperatures and continued favorable soil moisture conditions across most of the growing region, including the Corn Belt, making for excellent conditions during the pod-fill stage. As the Southeast and Atlantic Coast States were enduring one tropical storm or hurricane after another, the soybean crop flourished. A season-ending freeze the first week of October in the northern Great Plains, Corn Belt, and Ohio Valley ended plant growth and promoted maturation. Though about normal, the freezing temperatures came too soon for the late-maturing soybeans in North Dakota, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. As of October 3, leaf drop in these States was still 13, 14, and 22 percent behind their respective 5-year averages. During the first half of October, harvest progressed at or ahead of normal across most of the Nation, except in the northern growing areas. Rains lingered during the rest of October from the eastern Great Plains across most of the Corn Belt, through the Tennessee Valley, and down the Atlantic Coast, slowing harvest. By October 31, thirteen of the eighteen major soybean producing States were behind their normal harvest pace, with some producers having to go into late November to finish harvest. Final pod counts from the Objective Yield survey were considerably higher than last year in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio while counts in Minnesota were just below last year's level. Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2004 totaled 10.5 million bushels, down fractionally from the previous year. The average U.S. yield is estimated at 20.3 bushels per acre, up 2.4 bushels from 2003. Planted area for the 2004 crop is estimated at 523,000 acres, down 12 percent from 2003. Harvested area, at 516,000 acres, is also 12 percent below 2003. In North Dakota, the leading flaxseed State, production totaled 9.94 million bushels, down slightly from 2003. Growers planted 490,000 acres, a decrease of 12 percent from the previous year. The average yield in North Dakota is estimated at 20.5 bushels per acre, up 2.5 bushels from last year. Planting began in late April, ahead of the average pace, as dry, warm conditions allowed growers to make good progress. However, heavy springtime rains in the northern areas of the State delayed planting progress. By May 30, seventy-four percent of the crop was planted, compared to the 5-year average of 83 percent. Wet, cool conditions during the growing season delayed development and the crop matured behind normal. Harvest began the middle of August and was completed well behind both last year and the average. Other Oilseeds: Safflower production, at 176 million pounds, decreased 36 percent from 2003. Safflower growers planted an estimated 175,000 acres, a decrease of 21 percent from 2003, while harvested area is estimated at 159,000 acres, down 25 percent from the previous year. The yield for safflower, at 1,105 pounds per acre, decreased 185 pounds from 2003. Mustard seed production declined 27 percent from last year to 56.3 million pounds. Planted area of mustard seed, at 73,000 acres, is down 34 percent and harvested area, at 68,700 acres, is down 36 percent from 2003. Mustard seed yields averaged 819 pounds per acre, 96 pounds above a year ago. Rapeseed production, on the other hand, increased sharply to 10.9 million pounds, up from only 1.14 million pounds in 2003. Growers planted an estimated 8,700 acres of rapeseed in 2004 and harvested 7,800 acres, up 7,400 and 6,600 acres, respectively. Rapeseed averaged 1,394 pounds per acre in 2003, up 445 pounds from 2003. Cotton: Upland cotton production is estimated at a record high 22.3 million bales, up slightly from the December 1 forecast and 25 percent more than last year's production. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is also a record high, at 835 pounds per acre, up 17 pounds from the December forecast and 112 pounds more than 2003. Harvested area, at 12.8 million acres, decreased 1 percent from last month but is 8 percent above last year. Upland planted area is estimated at 13.4 million acres, down 1 percent from the September estimate but less than 1 percent above last season. Data from the combined 7 Objective Yield States show higher boll counts and weights than any of the previous six seasons. Alabama and Georgia experienced drought conditions early in the growing season. However, by mid-June, all of the Southeastern States were ahead of their normal planting pace. Consequently, crop development was ahead of normal pace through July. During the months of August and September, six Hurricanes (Alex, Charley, Frances, Gaston, Ivan, and Jeanne) crossed over different regions of the Southeast. No major damage was reported in the northeastern areas, while the other regions encountered plants that were blown over and twisted and cotton that was knocked out of the bolls. The damage to the crop was not as severe as previously forecasted, which resulted in Alabama and Georgia increasing harvested acres 5,000 and 20,000 from the September forecast, respectively. Late September and early October temperatures were above normal allowing the crop to mature and growers to make significant harvest progress. Objective yield data for Georgia show the highest average boll counts in the 7-year data series and above average boll weights. North Carolina boll counts remain above average, while showing a higher average boll weights than the previous 6 years. Producers in the majority of the Delta States planted their crop on time despite scattered showers disrupting fieldwork activities. Louisiana overcame persistent rainfall during the peak planting season. Below normal temperatures delayed development during the growing season. Harvest was behind normal pace due to a late growing season compounded by showers saturating fields. Objective yield boll counts and average boll weights in Mississippi are above average. Louisiana's boll counts and weight per boll are slightly above average. Boll counts in Arkansas are slightly above the 15-year average but boll weights are higher than any of the previous 15 years. Texas growers began the planting season at an above average pace. Rains during the end of June benefitted dryland cotton in the Panhandle and the moisture allowed producers to proceed with planting. Late-planted acres received beneficial rainfall during the month of August. Showers and below normal temperatures switched from being beneficial early in the growing season to delaying progress and maturation later in the season. Growers were concerned that the delayed cotton crop would be unable to finish boll setting, while muddy conditions hindered equipment from entering fields. During the month of December, fields dried allowing growers to make significant progress harvesting their crop. Objective yield measurements show the Texas boll counts and average boll weights as the highest in the 15-year data series. Some Arizona and California upland cotton growers began planting during early-spring, due to above normal temperatures. Despite the favorable weather, some growers delayed planting and waited for more traditional planting dates due to erratic spring weather in the prior years. This resulted in variable cotton growth and development. The continued warm weather conditions in June and July promoted crop development ahead of the 5-year average. In the San Joaquin Valley, harvest started the last week of September. However, rain arrived in mid-October and delayed harvest for many growers. By the end of December, harvest was virtually complete except in Arizona where it was delayed by frequent scattered showers. Data from objective yield measurements show California boll counts are the second highest in the last 15 years, surpassed only by 2002. Boll weights are below the 15-year average, but the highest since 1998. American-Pima production is estimated at 736,000 bales, up 16,000 bales from the December forecast and up 70 percent from last year's output. The U.S. Pima yield is estimated at 1,425 pounds per harvested acre, up 59 pounds from last month and 255 pounds more than last year's yield. Producers planted 249,600 acres of Pima cotton in 2004, up 40 percent from 2003. The increase in planted acreage led to a similar increase in harvested acreage. All cotton ginnings totaled 18,993,000 running bales prior to January 1, compared with 16,882,550 running bales ginned to the same date last year and 15,654,000 running bales in 2002. Cottonseed: Production for 2004, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 8.41 million tons, up 26 percent from last year's production of 6.66 million tons. Tobacco: U.S. tobacco production in 2004 totaled 883 million pounds, virtually unchanged from the October 1 forecast but 10 percent above 2003. Growers harvested 409,060 acres in 2004, down less than 1 percent from the previous forecast and 1 percent below last year. Yield per acre averaged 2,159 pounds, a 3 pound increase from the October forecast and up 207 pounds from 2003. Flue-cured production is estimated at 516 million pounds, an increase of 1 percent from the October 1 forecast and 13 percent above last year. Harvested acres totaled 228,400, down less than 1 percent from the previous forecast and 2 percent below 2003. Flue-cured yields averaged 2,261 pounds, an increase of 24 pounds from the October forecast and 304 pounds above 2003. While hurricanes and heavy rains hit many of the flue-cured States during the harvest season, disease and damage were limited. Burley production totaled 299 million pounds in 2004, down 1 percent from the October 1 forecast but up 6 percent from last year. Growers harvested 154,650 acres in 2004, up less than 1 percent from the previous forecast and 2 percent above last year. Yield per acre averaged 1,932 pounds, down 26 pounds from the October forecast but 82 pounds above last year. In Kentucky, the top burley producing State, wet conditions made the tobacco heavy for those harvesting early. However, dry weather during September and October reduced leaf weight and delayed stripping. Sugarbeets: Production is estimated at 29.9 million tons, 1 percent above the November 1 forecast but 3 percent below last year's production. Growers in the 12 sugarbeet-producing States harvested 1.31 million acres, 1 percent below the November estimate and 3 percent below last year's 1.35 million acres. Yield is estimated at 22.9 tons per acre, 0.5 ton above November and 0.1 ton above the 2003 yield. Sugarbeet planting progressed well ahead of normal in the 4 major sugarbeet-producing States, due to warm weather in most growing areas. However, a late freeze in May forced some growers in the northern Great Plains and adjacent areas of the Corn Belt to replant. Toward the end of the season in the Red River Valley, flooding and frost damage caused above-normal abandonment. Harvest progressed behind normal in most areas, partly due to cool weather during the summer slowing crop development and partly due to warm weather preventing piling toward the end of the season. Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is estimated at 29.3 million tons, 3 percent below the December forecast and 13 percent below last year's 33.9 million tons. Area harvested and to be harvested for sugar and seed is estimated at 952,100 acres for the 2004 crop year, down 1 percent from December and 4 percent below last year. Yield is estimated at 30.8 tons per acre, 0.8 ton below last month, 3.3 tons below 2003, and the lowest nationwide yield since 1947. In Florida, where 4 hurricanes affected the sugarcane-producing areas around Lake Okeechobee, expected yield was 33.9 tons per acre, down 2.1 tons from December and the lowest since 1996. Louisiana's crop, adversely affected by heavy rainfall in June and muddy harvest conditions, yielded 24.0 tons per acre, the lowest since 1993. Dry Beans: U.S. dry edible bean production is estimated at 17.8 million cwt for 2004, down 2 percent from the December forecast and 21 percent below last year. Harvested acreage is estimated at 1.22 million acres, down less than 1 percent from the last forecast and 9 percent below 2003. The average U.S. yield is estimated at 1,460 pounds per acre, a decrease of 19 pounds from the December forecast and 210 pounds below a year ago. Production is below a year ago in 12 of the 18 producing States. Most notable is a 39 percent decrease from last year in both Minnesota and North Dakota where frost in mid-August severely damaged the crop. Production is down from a year ago for large lima, baby lima, navy, great northern, pinto, light red kidney, dark red kidney, pink, cranberry, and blackeye. Production increased from last year for small white, small red, black, and small and large chickpeas. Production in North Dakota is estimated at 4.75 million cwt, 39 percent below 2003. The average yield, at 1,000 pounds per acre, is down 500 pounds from last year. Yields are down because of the mid-August frost. Harvested acres, at 475,000, decreased 9 percent. Harvest was essentially complete by mid-November, a month behind average due to a late maturing crop. In Nebraska, production is estimated at 2.38 million cwt, 25 percent below last year. Harvested area, at 110,000 acres, is 26 percent below 2003, while yield of 2,160 pounds per acre is 30 pounds above last season. This is a record high yield. Irrigation water was adequate and growing conditions were good. Minnesota growers produced 1.15 million cwt of dry beans, 39 percent below last year. The average yield, at 1,150 pounds per acre, is down 550 pounds from the previous year. Lower yields were due to an early frost and very wet conditions in northwest Minnesota. Production in California decreased 16 percent due to fewer harvested acres. Heavy rains in late October and early November delayed harvest and caused some operators to abandon some acres. Production in Texas, New York, and Kansas decreased 73 percent, 45 percent, and 34 percent, respectively, while both Wyoming and New Mexico decreased 16 percent from last year. Colorado is 11 percent below last year, Utah is 12 percent lower, and Wisconsin is down 9 percent from a year ago. In Michigan, production is estimated at 3.15 million cwt, up 27 percent from the previous year. The average yield, at 1,700 pounds per acre, increased 200 pounds. Growing conditions were near optimal and harvest was completed ahead of normal. Idaho production is expected to be 9 percent above the previous year, at 1.64 million cwt. Wet weather this fall delayed harvest for some farmers. Production in South Dakota increased 23 percent, Montana 22 percent, Oregon 17 percent, and Washington 16 percent. Lentils: Production of lentils in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington is estimated at 4.18 million cwt for 2004, up 2 percent from the November 1 forecast and 71 percent above 2003. Planted area, at 345,000 acres, remains unchanged from the previous forecast but is 40 percent above the previous season. Harvested area, at 329,000 acres, is 2 percent above the November 1 forecast and 39 percent above last year. Average yield per acre, at 1,271 pounds, is 3 pounds above November's forecast and 241 pounds above last year. Montana's production, at 1.01 million cwt, is more than triple a year ago. Harvested area is 177 percent above the 2003 acreage, while average yield increased by 350 pounds to 1,400. This yield increase is due to ideal growing conditions. During April to mid May, Montana experienced 80 degree temperatures with very limited moisture. During July and August, the State had cooler temperatures with much needed precipitation. North Dakota's production, at 1.29 million cwt, doubled from 2003. Above normal daytime temperatures and dry conditions the last week of April and the first week in May allowed producers to plant early season crops ahead of the 5-year average pace. Below normal temperatures and mostly adequate soil moisture in the lentil growing area, during most of the growing season, promoted excellent growing conditions. Production in Washington, at 1.12 million cwt, is up 23 percent from 2003. Idaho's production, at 770,000 cwt, is 23 percent above last year. Wrinkled Seed Peas: Growers of wrinkled seed peas in Idaho and Washington produced 899,000 cwt in 2004, up 34 percent from 2003 production of 673,000 cwt and 50 percent above 2002. Production in Idaho, at 174,000 cwt, is up 7 percent from 2003. Production in Washington, at 725,000 cwt, increased 42 percent from the 2003 production of 510,000 cwt. Dry Edible Peas: Production of dry edible peas in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, and Washington is estimated at 11.4 million cwt for 2004, up 5 percent from the November 1 forecast and 120 percent above 2003. Area harvested, at 507,800 acres, is 1 percent above the previous forecast and 55 percent above last year. Average yield, at 2,249 pounds per acre, increased 86 pounds from the November 1 forecast and is 665 pounds above 2003. Production is up from the previous year for all the major producing States. Production increased 44 percent in Idaho and 57 percent in Oregon. North Dakota's production is 6.93 million cwt, 152 percent above 2003. This large increase is due to record high yields and more harvested acres. Below normal temperatures and adequate soil moisture supplies in the dry pea growing area during most of the growing season promoted excellent growing conditions. Harvest conditions were aided by dry and above normal temperatures during the end of September. Montana's production, at 1.27 million cwt, is more than double 2003. Producers are reporting better yields this season due to ideal growing conditions. Montana received warm temperatures with very limited moisture during April to mid May. During July and August, the State experienced cooler temperatures and adequate rainfall. Washington's production increased 70 percent from 2003. Dry pea yields, at 2,400 pounds per acre, have been the best since 1993, when yields equaled this seasons output. Newer upright varieties have some producers realizing yields close to two tons per acre. Processors have been reporting excellent quality with little to no bleaching problems. Austrian Winter Peas: Production of Austrian winter peas in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon for the 2004 season is estimated at 264,000 cwt, down 3 percent from the November 1 forecast but 52 percent above 2003. Area harvested, at 21,500 acres, is unchanged from the previous forecast but 38 percent above last season. Average yield, at 1,228 pounds per acre, decreased 37 pounds from the November 1 forecast but is 113 pounds above 2003. Idaho's Austrian winter pea crop is up 50 percent from 2003 when production was adversely affected by heat stress. Drought in the primary pea growing area of Montana forced a number of growers to graze or cut their fields for hay. Winter Potatoes: The final 2004 winter potato production is estimated at 4.82 million cwt, up 38 percent from the April forecast and 20 percent above 2003. Harvested area of 18,500 acres is 32 percent above the April 1 forecast and 29 percent more than last year. The average yield of 260 cwt per acre is up 10 cwt from the April forecast but 22 cwt below 2003. California's production, at 3.25 million cwt, is 53 percent above the April forecast and 23 percent greater than last season. Florida's production, at 1.57 million cwt, is 14 percent above the previous forecast and up 13 percent from a year ago. Spring Potatoes: Production for 2004 is revised to 22.7 million cwt, up 19 percent from the May forecast but 7 percent below 2003. Harvested area totaled 72,200 acres, down 15 percent from a year ago. The average yield of 314 cwt per acre increased 26 cwt from 2003 and is a record high, 14 cwt above the previous record set in 1999. Spring potato production in Texas decreased 26 percent from 2003 and 15 percent in Arizona. Production in North Carolina is down 9 percent from the previous year and Florida's crop is 4 percent below 2003. California's crop decreased 1 percent from last year. Record high yields in California partially offset an 8 percent decrease in harvested acres. Summer Potatoes: Growers produced 18.9 million cwt of summer potatoes in 2004, up 2 percent from the September forecast and less than 1 percent increase from a year ago. Harvested area, at 54,600 acres, is down 7 percent from last year. The average yield of 345 cwt per acre is 25 cwt above last year's record high yield of 320 cwt. Summer production increased 33 percent from last year in Kansas, 20 percent in Texas, 8 percent in Maryland, 2 percent in Missouri, and 1 percent in Colorado. Production decreased 36 percent from 2003 in New Mexico, 32 percent in Alabama, and 23 percent in Virginia. New Jersey's production dropped 12 percent from last year, Illinois producers grew 9 percent less, production in Delaware is down 7 percent, and California production decreased 4 percent. Fall Potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2004 is estimated at 410 million cwt, virtually unchanged from both the December forecast and last year for comparable States. South Dakota and Utah were dropped from the program starting in 2004. Area harvested, at 1.02 million acres, is down less than 1 percent from December and 6 percent below last year. The average yield is estimated at 401 cwt per acre, 2 cwt above December and 25 cwt above last year. This is a record high yield, 9 cwt above the previous record set in 2000. Western States' production is estimated at 281 million cwt, unchanged from the December forecast but up 3 percent from last year for comparable States. Acreage harvested, at 642,200 acres, decreased 3 percent from last year, but the average yield of 437 cwt per acre is up 23 cwt from 2003. Record high yields in Idaho increased production 7 percent from the previous year. Favorable growing conditions during the season contributed to the good size and quality of the tubers. Production in Washington is up 1 percent from last year. Colorado's production decreased 2 percent as more acres were abandoned due to higher disease rates and water management issues. Oregon growers harvested 19.8 million cwt of potatoes, down 6 percent from last year. This decrease is due to a 13 percent reduction in harvested acres but yields are estimated to be 41 cwt above last season. California's production is up 10 percent from last year. Ideal weather and excellent soil conditions increased yields 85 cwt from 2003 to 510 cwt per acre, more than offsetting the 8 percent decrease in harvested acres. Growers in Montana produced 6 percent more potatoes than in 2003. Nevada's production decreased 13 percent. New Mexico production is 8 percent above last season. Central States' production is estimated at 101 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the December forecast but down 7 percent from last year for comparable States. Harvested area, estimated at 285,400 acres, is down 1 percent from December and 13 percent below a year ago. Average yields, at 355 cwt per acre, are up 6 cwt from December and 20 cwt above a year ago. Production in Michigan is 9 percent below 2003. Minnesota's production is down 15 percent from last year. A record high yield of 430 cwt per acre does not make up for the 24 percent decrease in harvested acres. Due to very wet spring conditions, producers planted less potato acreage and reported higher rates of abandonment in Minnesota and Michigan. However, moderate summer temperatures led to good yields. Growers in North Dakota had a 2 percent decrease from last season. North Dakota also had a record high yield of 265 cwt per acre, 20 cwt above the previous record set in 2003. Indiana's production increased 21 percent from last year. Wisconsin growers experienced a record high yield of 435 cwt per acre, 25 cwt above last year. However, production decreased 7 percent due to fewer harvested acres. Nebraska growers also had a record high yield of 430 cwt but production decreased 5 percent. Ohio's production decreased 2 percent. Eastern States' production is estimated at 28.0 million cwt, up less than 1 percent from the December forecast and 1 percent above last year. Area for harvest totaled 95,200 acres, unchanged from last month but 8 percent below last year. Average yield, at 294 cwt per acre, is up 1 cwt from December and 24 cwt above last season. Heavy rains late in the season drowned-out low lying fields in Maine, New York, and Pennsylvania, resulting in quality problems and higher rates of abandonment. Record high yields in Maine and Massachusetts more than offset lower harvested acres. Maine growers had a 13 percent increase in production from last year. Massachusetts production is up 12 percent from a year ago. Rhode Island producers experienced a 2 percent increase in production from 2003. New York production decreased 20 percent from 2003. Pennsylvania growers had a 22 percent decrease from last year. All Potatoes: Total 2004 U.S. potato production from all four seasons is estimated at 456 million cwt, down less than 1 percent from both the 2003 and 2002 crops. Harvested area, at 1.17 million acres, is down 6 percent from last year and 8 percent lower than two years ago. The average yield, at 391 cwt per acre, is 24 cwt above last year and 29 cwt above 2002. This is a record high yield, 10 cwt above the old record set in 2000. By season, fall and summer production are virtually unchanged from the previous year, spring is down 7 percent, and winter is up 20 percent from 2003. Sweet Potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2004 is estimated at 16.4 million cwt, up 3 percent from last season and 28 percent above 2002. This is the largest production of sweet potatoes in the U.S. since 1962, when 17.1 million cwt were produced. Growers harvested 93,300 acres, up 1 percent from last year. Yield per acre, at 176 cwt, is up 4 cwt from the record high yield in 2003. Production increased 22 percent in New Jersey, 17 percent in North Carolina, 9 percent in Mississippi, 6 percent in California, and 3 percent in Texas. Good growing conditions with sufficient rainfall in these States contributed to an excellent crop. Production decreased 26 percent in Louisiana, 20 percent in Alabama, 17 percent in Virginia, and 7 percent in South Carolina. Extremely wet conditions and saturated fields in Louisiana and Alabama resulted in reduced production and lower crop quality. Peppermint Oil: Production of peppermint oil in 2004 is estimated at 7.15 million pounds, up 2 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 77,700 acres, down 2 percent from 2003. Growers in Michigan, Oregon, and Washington decreased their acreage 9 percent, 6 percent, and 2 percent, respectively. Wisconsin producers increased their acreage 11 percent, while Idaho and Indiana harvested acreage remained unchanged. The U.S. average yield is 92 pounds of oil per acre, up 4 pounds from last year. Production in Washington is up 14 percent and average yield is at 120 pounds per acre, a record high for the State. The Pacific Northwest experienced favorable growing conditions this season. Spearmint Oil: Spearmint oil production is estimated at 1.75 million pounds for 2004, down 2 percent from last year and 13 percent below 2002. Harvested area is estimated at 15,100 acres, down 4 percent from last year and 18 percent below 2002. Average yield is estimated at 116 pounds of oil per acre, up 3 pounds from last year and 7 pounds above 2002. Most of the major spearmint producing States reduced acreage from 2003 to 2004. Some mint growers cited low prices as the reason for the drop in spearmint acres. Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2004 totaled 55.2 million pounds, up 1 percent from the 2003 crop of 54.6 million pounds but 5 percent below the 2002 production of 58.3 million pounds. Washington's 2004 production increased 4 percent from the previous year. Production in Idaho and Oregon dropped 2 percent and 8 percent, respectively. Acreage declined in all three States in 2004. Washington showed a 1 percent acreage decrease, Idaho is down 5 percent, and Oregon is down 11 percent. However, yields improved over a year ago in all three States. Washington, with 2,137 pounds per acre, is up 87 pounds from last year. In Idaho, yields averaged 1,588 pounds per acre, 52 pounds more than a year ago. Oregon's average yield increased 60 pounds, to 1,686 pounds per acre in 2004. Washington growers produced 75 percent of the U.S. hop crop for 2004. Zeus, Columbus/Tomahawk, Galena, and Willamette are the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 68 percent of the State's hop crop. In Oregon, Willamette and Nugget are the major varieties, accounting for 71 percent of the hops harvested. Maple Syrup: The 2004 U.S. maple syrup production totaled 1.51 million gallons, up 20 percent from 2003 and 2 percent above 2002. Compared to 2003, maple syrup production increased in all States and is at the highest level since 1996. Vermont led all States in production with 500,000 gallons, an increase of 19 percent from last season. Vermont syrup production accounted for 54 percent of New England's production and 33 percent of the total United States production. Maine was second with 290,000 gallons, up 2 percent from 2003. New York's production, at 255,000 gallons, increased 21 percent from last year. In Massachusetts and New Hampshire, production was up 35 percent and 38 percent, respectively, from last season. In Connecticut, production increased 10 percent from last year. Production was also up 36 percent in Michigan, 53 percent in Ohio, 15 percent in Pennsylvania, and 32 percent in Wisconsin compared to 2003. Production increases were attributed to increased yield per tap in all States, combined with more taps set in most States. In several States, cold temperatures were reported early in the season but temperatures returned to favorable levels, with mild days and cool nights increasing sap flow. Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 7.10 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2004-05 season, down 14 percent from the previous crop year. Harvested area is estimated at 5,800 acres, down 2 percent from the 2003-04 season. Coffee production from the islands of Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu is forecast at 4.10 million pounds for the 2004-05 season, down 5 percent from last season. Hawaii island is forecast to harvest 3.00 million pounds, down 25 percent from the previous season. Heavy spring rains and windy conditions hampered flower survival and slowed fruit development in the Kona area. A wet winter is expected to result in a smaller crop but prolonged harvest season. Taro: Hawaii taro production for crop year 2004 is estimated at 5.20 million pounds, up 4 percent from last year but the second lowest total production on record. Area harvested, at 370 acres, is down 50 acres from 2003. Major taro producing areas were once again infested with Apple snails, which feed on taro plants and provide an infection point for diseases. Taro production was also affected by taro Pocket Rot disease, a new species of Phytophthora that infects the corm. This low production level can be directly attributed to these pests. Ginger Root: Hawaii ginger root production for the 2003-04 season is 6.00 million pounds, unchanged from the previous season. Harvested acreage is 150 acres, 6 percent below from a year ago. Average yield, at 40,000 pounds per harvested acre, is 7 percent above the previous season but is the second lowest average yield in the past 10 seasons. Abundant precipitation during the main harvesting periods resulted in an increase in disease, which kept production at a low level.
