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.

Once again, however, the bulk of the Corn Belt escaped drought, as summer rainfall ended up near or above normal for most of the Midwest and temperatures averaged only slightly above normal. Three major storms crossed the Great Plains from late November to late December, stranding cattle and disrupting travel, but providing useful moisture for winter crop areas. Winter (December 2005 February 2006): The year began with a reversal of weather patterns from 2005, as a major snow drought affected the Southwest States while flooding, mud-slides, and heavy mountain snows struck California and the Northwest. Record heavy rains also hit Hawaii from late February through March. January set the pace for the mild winter, setting a record for the warmest January nationwide in over 100 years of record-keeping. Although February brought more winter-like weather, December-February temperatures averaged above normal nearly everywhere in the Lower 48, with 3-month readings averaging more than 6 degrees F above normal in the northern Plains and 2 to 6 degrees F above normal in the central and southern Plains. January temperatures in the northern Plains averaged nearly 20 degrees F above normal. Alaska, in contrast, experienced bitter cold in January, the central Interior averaging 12 to 18 degrees F colder than normal. Fairbanks notched its coldest month since December 1980. A La Ni¤a event continued from 2005 into early 2006. This typically results in wet winter weather in the Northwest and dry weather in the Southwest. This year was no exception, but the contrast between the Northwest and Southwest was unusually stark. Winter precipitation totaled less than 25 percent of normal from Arizona into Texas and northward into Kansas, while rain and snow totals exceeded 150 percent of normal across the Northwest and northern Great Basin. This was the third wettest January on record in the Northwest, continuing the wet trend that began in December. Seattle logged its second longest wet spell on record, January 14 being the city's 27th consecutive day with rain. To the south, the lack of snow and rain was nearly without precedent. Flagstaff, Arizona measured its first measurable snowfall on January 15, setting a record for the latest first snow. Phoenix went 143 consecutive days without rain until a storm dumped over an inch on March 11. Tucson set a record when it measured only 0.01 inches of rain from November through February. February was the second consecutive month with precipitation less than one-fourth of normal across the central and southern Plains. In Texas, Lubbock set a record with a 98-day dry spell that ended with light rains on February 3. Tulsa, Oklahoma set a record with its driest December-February, a meager 1.59 inches (27 percent of normal) for the 3-month period. By the first week of March, the U.S. Drought Monitor depicted severe to extreme drought (D2 to D3 intensity) stretching from Arizona through New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma and parts of Missouri and Arkansas. The drought contributed to numerous wildfires and severe crop losses in Texas and Oklahoma. From late December through mid-March, the Texas Forest Service reported more than 10,000 wildfires, with huge fires scorching thousands of acres in the Amarillo area in January and March, killing large numbers of livestock. In the East, an historical storm dumped record snows on the I-95 corridor during February 11-12. Snow totals reached 12 to 20 inches from southeastern Pennsylvania into New England. New York City's 26.9 inches set a new single-storm record. The Plains States saw their coldest weather of the winter in mid-February when a cold wave sent temperatures plunging. More than 50 locations set record lows on the 18th, including -36 degrees F in Alliance, Nebraska. Spring (March-May): The western storm track shifted southward in March, resulting in a series of Pacific storms bringing wet weather to California and the Great Basin. San Francisco recorded an unprecedented 25 days with measurable rainfall. To the east, snows piled up across the Sierra Nevada, in some cases up to 20 feet. This resulted in abundant snow pack for spring and summer water supplies but also led to snow melt flooding in April. March featured a variety of extreme weather and related impacts, including dust storms, snow, cold, severe storms, and wildfires in the Lower 48, and historically high rainfall in Hawaii, where several "Kona storms" dumped immense rainfall amounts, leading to widespread flash flooding. The severe storm season started early this year. A plains frontal system triggered a mammoth severe storm outbreak during March 11-12 that resulted in more than 900 reports of damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes in an area centered over Missouri and Illinois. The 10 tornado deaths in Missouri made this the deadliest U.S. tornado outbreak in March since 1998. On April 2, another severe weather outbreak featured 872 reports of severe weather, and twisters took 24 lives in Tennessee. A third outbreak on April 7 resulted in 871 reports of severe weather across the Midwest and Tennessee Valley. April warmth was nearly as widespread as in January, resulting in the second warmest April on record nationwide. Readings 4 to 6 degrees F above normal quickly melted the snowpack in the Rockies and aggravated drought in the central and southern High Plains. A summer-like heat wave peaked on April 17th, when temperatures rose into the 90s in the South and past the 100-degree mark in the southern Plains. In Texas, Dallas/Ft. Worth broke its daily and monthly record with a reading of 101 degrees F. The heat worsened the drought in southern Texas. Cumulative rainfall during the first four months of the year in Brownsville totaled 1.29 inches, 24 percent of normal. San Antonio broke its record for the driest 12 months ending in April (13.66 inches, 41 percent of normal). In the northern Plains, late March rainfall and melting snow caused the Red River to rise nearly 20 feet above flood stage in early April. At Fargo, North Dakota, the river crested 19.2 feet above flood stage on the 5th, only 2.4 feet less than the level reached during the historic 1997 flood. Above-normal temperatures prevailed across the Plains and West in May, with temperatures averaging 4 degrees F or more above normal in many locations. This was the 8th warmest spring on record for the Lower 48, as 3-month temperatures averaged above normal for nearly the entire continental U.S. outside of the Pacific States. The Northeast experienced major flood episodes in May and June. On May 12-16, a deluge caused some of the worst flooding since the 1930s in New England. Eight to 15 inches of rain inundated Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and southern Maine, sending rivers over their banks. The Merrimack River recorded its highest water levels since the September 1938 hurricane in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. In northeastern Massachusetts, the deluge contributed to a State record for the month of May, when Newburyport tallied 20.32 inches. Elsewhere, heavy rains along the Texas coast caused late-month street flooding in Houston. The city measured a record 4.33 inches on May 29, and as much as 15 inches fell over coastal Texas during May 28-29. A tropical wave in the western Gulf set off torrential rains across more of the Texas coast from May 31 to June 1, as Corpus Christi picked up 11.38 inches in 12 hours. In contrast, drought worsened over interior parts of Texas. Dallas/Ft. Worth went 39 days without measurable rainfall until nearly a third of an inch fell on June 17. The metro area also experienced 30 consecutive days of above-normal temperatures through the 16th. Summer (June August): Alberto was the first of only two tropical storms to make landfall in the United States this year. The storm tracked from the eastern Gulf of Mexico into the northwest coast of the Florida peninsula on June 13. Wind gusts on June 12-13 reached as high as 61 mph in Florida, and rainfall totals reached several inches or more as the storm moved northeastward to the Atlantic Coast near the Virginia-North Carolina border. The Atlantic storm season featured just nine named storms, and no hurricanes struck the U.S. this year. An El Ni¤o that developed toward the end of summer likely played a role in keeping storm activity down. In June, a stalled cold front in conjunction with tropical moisture brought record-setting rainfall totals and flooding to the mid-Atlantic States between the 22nd and 28th. The heaviest rains, exceeding 12 inches in some locations, stretched from Virginia northward through Maryland, eastern Pennsylvania, and into upstate New York. On June 25, the more than 5 inches of rain that drenched the Washington DC area made this the wettest day since Hurricane Agnes' remnants affected the region in June, 1972. Record flooding affected parts of New York and Pennsylvania as the Susquehanna River reached levels more than 11 feet above flood stage. Although June was abnormally warm, July was one for the record books. Temperatures averaged 6 to 8 degrees F above normal over the northern Plains and parts of California, and 1 to 5 degrees above normal nearly everywhere else in the Lower 48. More than 800 daily-record high temperatures were set, along with at least 20 all-time highs set or tied. This was the hottest July since 1936, and some of the temperatures in the Great Plains reached levels last seen during the Dust Bowl. The most intense heat waves affected the Plains States around July 12-20 and again the last few days of the month, and the West from around July 16 to 27. Readings reached 115 degrees F or higher in California's Central Valley as well as central South Dakota during the peak of the heat waves. Pierre, South Dakota, surpassed its all-time record with a reading of 117 degrees F on July 15. The intense heat proceeded to shift south and west over the next several days, with Russell, Kansas hitting 111 degrees F on July 19, its highest reading since 1980. The July heat wave in California caused power outages and contributed to numerous fatalities. Modesto set an all-time high with 113 degrees F on July 23 and 24, and registered 12 consecutive days with triple digit heat from July 16 to 27, breaking a record set in 1960. Searing heat returned to the northern Plains on July 28-30, central South Dakota recording temperatures near 110 degrees F on all 3 days, and Bismarck, North Dakota, reaching 112 degrees F on July 30, their highest temperature since July 6, 1936. The heat combined with June-July rainfall less than one-half of normal to create a major drought across the northern Plains' spring wheat area. By late July, the U.S. Drought Monitor depicted severe to extreme (D2 to D3) drought across the Dakotas and parts of Montana, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Severe drought also affected much of the central and southern Plains, the Southwest, and the central Gulf Coast States. In contrast, drought relief came to the Southwest following the record dry winter, as the summer "monsoon" rains arrived around late June and became quite intense. The downpours reduced the wildfire danger and boosted crop and grassland growth, but also triggered flash flooding, especially in New Mexico, which measured both its wettest August and third wettest summer. Tropical Storm Ernesto, the second and last tropical storm to strike the U.S. this year, made landfall in the Florida Keys on August 29-30, sporting maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. The storm exited the State near Cape Canaveral but made a second landfall near Cape Fear, North Carolina on the 31st. Ernesto neared hurricane strength at that time, with winds gusting past 70 mph in the mid-Atlantic coastal region. Triple-digit heat hit the mid-Atlantic region early in August (101 degrees F in Washington DC on August 3) and persisted in the South during much of the month. In Texas, Dallas/Ft. Worth experienced 19 consecutive days of 100-degree temperatures during August 8-26. Autumn (September November): Heat and drought peaked nationally during July-August, as wetter and cooler weather spread across many areas in September. Much of the Nation experienced below-normal temperatures in September and October, and September-November temperatures averaged as much as 2 degrees F below normal in the Plains, Rockies, Southwest, and the Southeast. A taste of winter came early to a few areas in the West, with rain and snow helping to relieve drought and douse large wildfires in Montana on September 15-17, and heavy snow hitting the peaks in Colorado a few days later. In eastern Texas, the remains of a Pacific Hurricane brought drought-easing 3-4 inches of rain on September 17-18. October brought more wintry weather to many parts of the Nation. A cold blast of air plunging southward from Canada triggered lake-effect snows on October 11-12, resulting in a record-smashing 23 inches of snow in Buffalo, New York. Along the western Gulf Coast, a tropical disturbance combined with a frontal system to bring torrential rains from east Texas into Louisiana. A swath from east Texas into Louisiana saw over 12 inches of rain during October 10-16, with more heavy rains just days later, resulting in major street flooding in Houston. Farther north, autumn rainfall exceeded 150 percent of normal across much of the eastern Corn Belt, slowing harvests. Three-month rainfall totaled over 16 inches in southern Ohio and southern Indiana. In the Pacific Northwest, a dry pattern changed dramatically in early November as a series of Pacific storms began dumping voluminous rainfall. Although much of the month was wet, especially heavy rain pounded the region on November 2-8, with 1 to 2 feet of rain inundating northwest Oregon and western Washington, making this one of the wettest periods ever seen in the Northwest. In Seattle, the monthly total of 15.59 inches made this the wettest month since records began in 1891. The first of three major winter storms to strike the heartland from November to December spread a large swath of freezing rain and heavy snow from northern Texas and Oklahoma northward into Wisconsin and Michigan on November 30 and December 1. Snow amounts ranged from 7 to 15 inches or more, with up to 18 inches at some locations in Missouri and western Illinois. A major ice storm brought down power lines in eastern Missouri and western Illinois, leaving nearly one-half million households and businesses without power for as much as a week. December: A couple of intense Pacific storms smashed into the Pacific Northwest coast again in December, with one of the most intense storms in recent years striking Oregon and Washington on the 15th. Winds of up to 100 mph resulted in 1.5 million homes and businesses losing power. Two weeks after one big storm hammered the Plains, a second massive storm struck the region, resulting in blizzard conditions on the Colorado Plains and snow, ice, and heavy rain elsewhere over the central and southern Plains during December 20-21. Nearly 2 feet of snow buried the Denver-Boulder area, and wind gusts past 50 mph led to major drifting. Little more than a week later, another massive storm struck the Plains States, bringing heavy snow and a major ice storm. Over an inch of ice coated surfaces in Nebraska while over 2 feet of snow buried parts of Colorado, western Kansas, and northern New Mexico on December 29-30, stranding livestock and leading to hay drops from helicopters. In contrast to the hardship for livestock, disruption of power supplies, and the paralyzing impacts on transportation, the abundant moisture from the storms beneficially boosted soil moisture in the winter wheat region, providing dormant grains a much more promising start to the New Year than a year ago. Quite different weather prevailed farther east, as unseasonably mild weather led to a dearth of snow in the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Northeast in December. New York City and Washington DC had yet to record their first measurable snowfall as the year came to a close. 2006 Annual Crop Summary April: Above-normal temperatures prevailed nearly nationwide, while dry conditions in most areas allowed rapid planting of summer crops. Corn planting progressed well ahead of the normal pace, despite frequent rainstorms in the Corn Belt. By month's end, growers had seeded 52 percent of their acreage, 10 percentage points ahead of normal. Sorghum, oat, and rice planting were also well ahead of normal. Soybean and cotton growers were 3 and 5 points ahead of the normal planting pace, respectively. Barley and spring wheat planting, however, trailed behind normal as wet field conditions in the Pacific Northwest hampered fieldwork. Meanwhile, dry conditions in the Great Plains favored heading of winter wheat but caused condition of the crop to deteriorate, especially in the southern Great Plains. May: Temperatures again averaged above normal across most of the Nation, with the exception of the eastern Corn Belt and middle and southern Atlantic Coast States. Corn and soybean planting continued to outpace the 5-year average, with corn reaching 97 percent complete and soybeans 79 percent complete by month's end. Barley and spring wheat growers recovered from delays in April to finish the month ahead of the normal planting pace. By month's end, planting was nearly complete for all small grains. Rice planting was well behind normal in California due to soggy field conditions, but at or ahead of normal elsewhere. Sunflower and sugarbeet planting was at or behind normal early in the month but accelerated rapidly toward month's end to finish the month ahead of normal. Cotton growers progressed ahead of the normal planting pace, while peanut seeding remained behind normal. Emergence of corn, soybeans, and small grains progressed ahead of normal under the mostly warm conditions. Winter wheat condition continued to decline, due to dry conditions in the Great Plains. June: Temperatures were at or above normal across most of the Nation, promoting emergence and development of summer crops. Moderate precipitation in the Corn Belt was favorable for crop conditions, while the Great Plains remained mostly dry, with the exception of central portions of the region. The corn crop emerged ahead of normal, but silking progressed at the normal pace. Small grains and sorghum headed well ahead of the normal pace. However, the rice crop continued to progress slightly behind normal, mostly due to delayed planting in California. The Nation's soybean and cotton acreage progressed ahead of normal, while peanut pegging was behind normal due to the slow start to planting. July: Above-normal temperatures nearly nationwide promoted rapid development of summer crops and maturation and harvest of small grains. Hot and mostly dry conditions in the Great Plains and western Corn Belt caused corn and soybean conditions to deteriorate. Corn silking advanced well ahead of normal and early doughing progress was also ahead of normal. Sorghum heading continued to advance ahead of normal, while rice heading remained behind normal. Small grain heading and harvest were well ahead of normal. By months end, growers had harvested 55 percent of the oat crop, 17 percent of the barley crop, and 22 percent of the spring wheat crop, leading their respective normal paces by 17, 12, and 16 points. Soybeans continued to develop ahead of normal. By month's end, blooming of the crop was 6 points ahead of normal and pod-setting was 12 points ahead of normal. The cotton crop progressed at a near normal pace through both the squaring and boll-setting stages. Peanut progress, already delayed by the slow start to planting, continued to trail behind normal as dry weather in the Southeast and southern Great Plains hindered pegging. Winter wheat harvest progressed ahead of normal under warm, mostly dry conditions. August: Temperatures were above normal from the Great Plains to the East Coast, while below-normal temperatures prevailed in the western third of the Nation. Moderate rainfall in the Great Plains and Corn Belt improved crop conditions, while mostly dry conditions prevailed in the Ohio River Valley and central and southern Atlantic Coast States. Corn continued to develop ahead of normal under warm, moist conditions in most growing areas. Doughing was nearly complete by months end, while denting was well ahead of normal. The sorghum crop developed at a near-normal pace, with harvest reaching 24 percent complete by the end of the month. Spring wheat and barley harvest continued to progress well ahead of normal and were nearly complete by month's end. The winter wheat harvest was essentially complete by mid-month. Rice harvest was well underway and slightly ahead of normal, despite a lack of progress in California. The soybean crop set pods and dropped leaves ahead of normal, while conditions improved with precipitation in major growing areas. The cotton crop continued to progress ahead of normal, while peanuts remained behind normal. September: Below-normal temperatures prevailed nearly nationwide, while precipitation slowed fieldwork from the northern and central Great Plains eastward to the Atlantic Coast. By month's end, the corn crop, despite maturing ahead of normal, was just 20 percent harvested, 3 points behind normal. Similarly, soybeans dropped leaves ahead of normal, but harvest fell to 7 points behind normal. Sorghum, peanut, and sunflower harvest also progressed behind normal, while rice and cotton growers harvested their crops ahead of the normal pace despite moderate rainfall. Winter wheat planting was slowed by wet conditions in the Corn Belt and dry conditions in the Great Plains and Pacific Northwest. October: Temperatures again averaged below normal nearly nationwide. Mostly dry conditions in the Great Plains and western Corn Belt were favorable for harvesting summer crops, but frequent showers in the eastern Corn Belt limited progress. Corn growers had harvested 68 percent of their acreage by month's end, 3 points behind normal. Though near the normal pace in most areas, harvest trailed over a week behind normal in Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio due to wet conditions. Similarly, soybean harvest progressed at a near-normal pace in most areas but was well behind in the eastern Corn Belt. The cotton harvest slipped slightly behind normal, mostly due to slow progress in Texas, while peanut growers trailed over a week behind their normal harvest pace. The sugarbeet harvest rapidly advanced as cool conditions in most growing areas favored piling, but progress remained behind normal. Winter wheat planting accelerated during the month to reach the normal pace, but emergence was hampered by cool weather and was behind the normal pace. November: Warmer weather prevailed in November, with temperatures averaging above normal across most of the Nation, with the exception of the Southeast. Dry conditions in the Great Plains were favorable for summer crop harvest, while in the eastern Corn Belt, moderate precipitation, along with lingering wet conditions from October rains continued to hamper summer crop harvest and winter wheat planting. Corn and soybean harvest was nearly complete but slightly behind normal. Harvest of sorghum and cotton progressed well, ending the month slightly ahead of normal. Winter wheat planting and emergence progressed at a near-normal pace, despite trailing well behind normal in the eastern Corn Belt. Corn: U.S. corn for grain production is estimated at 10.5 billion bushels, down 2 percent from the November forecast and 5 percent lower than 2005. The average U.S. grain yield is estimated at 149.1 bushels per acre, 2.1 bushels below the November forecast but 1.1 bushels above 2005, and is the second highest on record, behind 2004. Production is the third largest on record. Regionally, estimated yields are higher than last year in the eastern Corn Belt, Ohio Valley, and middle Atlantic Coast where frequent rainfall and near normal temperatures prevailed throughout much of the growing season which helped to maintain good growing conditions. Yields in the northern Great Plains and adjacent areas of the Corn Belt, as well as the central Great Plains and Southeast are below last year due to scarce precipitation and above normal temperatures. Planted area totals 78.3 million acres, down 4 percent from last year as growers switched to less input intensive crops due to high fertilizer and fuel costs. Corn planted acreage is down from last year across the Corn Belt, Great Plains, Delta, and Pacific Coast, with the exception of Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. The largest decrease occurred in Illinois, where growers planted 800,000 fewer acres than last year's record high. Area harvested for grain, at 70.6 million acres, is down 6 percent from 2005. Harvested area is down 800,000 from last year in Illinois while North Dakota growers harvested a record high 1.40 million acres, up 200,000 from last year. Corn silage production is estimated at 105 million tons, down 2 percent from 2005. The U.S. silage yield is estimated at 16.2 tons per acre in 2006, down 1.8 tons from last year. However, area harvested for silage, at 6.48 million acres, is up 9 percent from a year ago. Corn planting began slowly in the Corn Belt and northern Great Plains as moderate precipitation hampered progress. Planting progress accelerated rapidly during April despite periods of heavy rainfall, as warm temperatures helped fields dry quickly. Mostly warm, dry conditions across the western Corn Belt and Great Plains during May and June favored planting and crop development, but caused crop conditions to decline. Meanwhile, persistent rainfall and below normal temperatures across the eastern Corn Belt and Ohio Valley during May hindered planting progress and limited crop emergence. However, warmer temperatures in these areas during June helped spur crop development. By May 28, planting was 97 percent complete and was at or ahead of the normal pace in all States, except Colorado and Kansas. Crop emergence was 98 percent by mid-June, at or ahead of normal in all States except Colorado, Indiana, and Kansas. Above-normal temperatures prevailed nearly nationwide during the last three weeks in July. In the western Corn Belt and Great Plains, mostly dry conditions combined with the well-above-normal temperatures to deplete soil moisture and worsen crop conditions. Moderate to heavy precipitation in August helped improve soil moisture levels and crop conditions. Meanwhile, frequent showers in the eastern Corn Belt and Ohio Valley during July held soil moisture at adequate levels and kept crop conditions better than a year ago. The above-normal temperatures promoted rapid crop development throughout the Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains. Corn silking began near the normal pace, but progressed rapidly throughout the Corn Belt. By August 6, ninety-seven percent of the acreage was at or beyond the silking stage, the same as last year but 5 percentage points ahead of normal. Progress was at or ahead of the normal pace in all States. Ninety-seven percent of the acreage was at or beyond the dough stage on September 3, compared with 96 percent last year and 92 percent for the 5-year average and was also at or ahead of the normal pace in all States. The crop continued to mature ahead of the normal pace during September despite below normal temperatures across much of the Corn Belt, Great Plains, and Ohio Valley. By October 8, ninety-five percent of the crop was rated mature or beyond, the same as last year but 4 percentage points ahead of normal. Maturation was behind normal in Indiana, Kansas, and Kentucky but at or ahead of normal elsewhere. Despite crop development and maturation progressing ahead of normal, harvest progress was behind normal across most of the Corn Belt during October, particularly the eastern-most areas of the region, due to wet field conditions. Though dry conditions prevailed in the western Corn Belt and Great Plains in October, growers there focused on harvesting soybeans. Harvest gained momentum in the eastern Corn Belt during November, despite persistent precipitation. In the Great Plains and western Corn Belt, corn harvest progressed rapidly under mostly dry conditions. By November 27, growers had harvested 97 percent of their acreage, 2 percentage points behind last year and 1 point behind normal. The 2006 corn objective yield data indicates the second highest ear count on record for the combined 10 objective yield States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin), down 1 percent from the record high set in 2004. Indicated ears per acre are higher than last year in all objective yield States, except Kansas and South Dakota. The indicated number of ears per acre in Illinois is the highest on record. Sorghum: Grain production in 2006 is estimated at 278 million bushels, down 4 percent from the November forecast and 29 percent below 2005. Planted area is estimated at 6.52 million acres, up 1 percent from last year, and area harvested for grain, at 4.94 million acres, is down 14 percent from 2005. Average grain yield, at 56.2 bushels per acre, is up 2.0 bushels from the previous forecast but down 12.3 bushels from last year. The acres harvested for grain is the lowest since 1939 while production is the lowest since 1956. Kansas led the Nation in area planted for all purposes and grain production, while Texas led the Nation for silage production. Area harvested for grain declined from last year in 15 of the 21 estimating States, with Texas showing the largest decline at 30 percent below 2005 and Kansas decreasing 4 percent. Yields are at or below last year in all States, except Arkansas, California, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee with substantial declines experienced throughout the Great Plains. The yield in the two largest producing States of Kansas and Texas dropped 17 and 12 bushels per acre, respectively, from 2005. Silage production is estimated at 4.64 million tons, up 10 percent from 2005. Area cut for silage is 347,000 acres, up 12 percent from the previous year. Silage acres remain unchanged from 2005 in both Kansas and Texas, but are 50 percent higher in Nebraska and South Dakota. Silage yields averaged 13.4 tons per acre, down 0.2 ton per acre from last year. Drought conditions slowed the development of the crop early in the growing season but late season moisture aided crop development. As of October 29, the crop was 90 percent mature and 59 percent harvested, behind both the previous year and the 5-year average. In Kansas, harvest was 16 percentage points behind normal and 20 points behind the previous year. However, by the end of November, the crop was 94 percent harvested and had advanced past the 5-year average of 92 percent. Harvest in Kansas progressed rapidly during November and by month's end had advanced to 97 percent, surpassing the 5-year average of 94 percent. Harvest progress was at or ahead of normal in all other States except Colorado. Oats: The 2006 production is estimated at a record low 93.8 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grain 2006 Summary but down 18 percent from last year. The estimated yield is 59.5 bushels per acre, down 3.5 bushels from the previous year. Area planted to oats is estimated at 4.17 million acres, down 2 percent from 2005. Harvested area, at 1.58 million acres, is 14 percent below last year. The largest decline occurred in North Dakota, where area harvested for grain decreased 120,000 acres from the previous year. U.S. area harvested for grain is a record low and area planted is the second lowest on record. Compared with last year, yields declined in nearly all States except for those in the eastern Great Lakes region, Ohio Valley, and Pacific Northwest. Yields in California, Oregon, and Washington were up from 2005, with the largest increase of 17 bushels occurring in Oregon. The largest declines in yield occurred in the northern and central Great Plains, due to hot, dry conditions. The southern Atlantic Coast and Southeast regions were also plagued with dry conditions during the growing season which reduced yields. During the spring months, planting of the oat crop progressed ahead of normal. By April 30, growers had planted 77 percent of their acreage, 10 points ahead of normal. During April, emergence advanced at a pace very close to normal. By the end of April, emergence was 47 percent complete, 4 points ahead of the 5-year average but 2 points behind last year. By mid-May, the oat crop was 94 percent planted, 6 points ahead of normal, with all nine major producing States at or ahead of their normal planting pace. Through June, crop development was at or ahead of normal in all major oat-producing States. As of July 2, eighty-nine percent of the oat acreage was headed, 13 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. The crop was most advanced in Nebraska and Texas, where 98 percent and 100 percent, respectively, was at or beyond the heading stage. The crop was only slightly less advanced in Iowa and Ohio, both at 96 percent. During July, the crop continued to develop and mature at or ahead of the normal pace in most major States. By the end of July, harvest had begun in all States, and beneficial weather conditions during harvest resulted in oat harvest progressing ahead of normal. As of July 30, fifty-five percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 9 percentage points ahead of last year and 17 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 20, harvest was 96 percent complete in the major producing States, 12 points ahead of normal. Barley: Production is estimated at 180 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2006 Summary but down 15 percent from last year. Average yield per acre, at 61.0 bushels, is the same as the previous estimate but 3.8 bushels below 2005. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 2.95 million acres, unchanged from September but 10 percent below a year ago. Planted area, at 3.45 million acres, is unchanged from the previous estimate but 11 percent lower than in 2005. Area harvested for grain is the lowest since 1885, while production is the lowest since 1936. Harvested area is down in most States, including the four States with the largest acreage. Acreage harvested is down 90,000 in Idaho, 80,000 in Montana, 65,000 in North Dakota, and 15,000 in Washington. Production is down throughout the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains, partly due to the decreased acreage, but also because yields are down in these areas due to dry conditions during most of the growing season. However, yields are higher than last year in the Pacific Northwest, Corn Belt, Ohio River Valley, and most Atlantic Coast States. Record high yields were set or tied in Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Wet field conditions hindered early planting progress in the major growing areas. Emergence and development remained behind normal in the Pacific Northwest throughout the growing season, but accelerated to well ahead of normal in the upper Midwest as warm, mostly dry weather prevailed through late spring and summer. The five-state average harvest progress was well ahead of normal, despite lagging behind in the Pacific Northwest. By mid-August, 54 percent of the acreage had been harvested, 22 percentage points ahead of the normal pace. However, the dry conditions caused crop condition to deteriorate. On August 13, just 48 percent of the crop was rated in good or excellent condition, compared with 68 percent at the same time in 2005. All Wheat: Production totaled 1.81 billion bushels in 2006, unchanged from the Small Grains 2006 Summary but 14 percent below 2005. Grain area is 46.8 million acres, down 7 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 38.7 bushels per acre, down 3.3 bushels from last year. The level of production and change from last year by type are: winter wheat, 1.30 billion bushels, down 13 percent; other spring wheat, 460 million bushels, down 9 percent; Durum wheat, 53.5 million bushels, down 47 percent. Winter Wheat: The 2006 winter wheat production is estimated at 1.30 billion bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2006 Summary but down 13 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 41.7 bushels per acre, down 2.7 bushels from last year's final yield. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 31.1 million acres, down 8 percent from the previous year. Hard Red Winter harvested acreage is down about 13 percent from the previous year while Soft Red Winter harvested acreage is up about 20 percent. Hard Red Winter (HRW) harvested acreage is down significantly from last year mostly due to drought conditions in the Great Plains States that persisted throughout much of the growing season. These conditions caused the crop's condition ratings to decline as it matured. Harvested acreage is down in all States in the region except Arizona. In Texas, wheat production is the lowest since 1971, while acres harvested for grain are the lowest since 1925. Oklahoma's production is the lowest since 1971 and acres harvested for grain are the lowest since 1955. Hot and dry weather during the summer months across much of the growing region accelerated the growth and maturation of the crop but decreased it's yield potential. Harvest of the crop started slightly ahead of normal and finished well ahead of the normal pace due to these weather conditions. Yields are down from the previous year in all HRW States except Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, and Arizona. Record high yields are reported in Minnesota and Iowa due to ideal weather conditions during growth and development of the crop. Overall, HRW production totals 682 million bushels, down 27 percent from last year. Soft Red Winter (SRW) harvested acreage is up from last year due to ideal conditions during the fall that resulted in dramatically increased planted acreage from last year, when excessively wet conditions prevented many acres from being seeded. Harvested area is at or above last year's level in all States in the growing region except for a band of States on the Atlantic Coast extending from Georgia to New Jersey. In Wisconsin, harvested acreage is at a record high level. The crop's yield potential was good throughout the growing season despite dry conditions across much of the growing area during the early spring months. This was due to ideal growing conditions during the late spring and summer months. Yields are at or above last year's level in all States in the growing region except Florida and Indiana. Record high yields are set in the Delta States, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, Illinois, West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Overall, SRW production is 390 million bushels, up 26 percent from last year. White Winter production is 226 million bushels, down 13 percent from last year. Yields in the Pacific Northwest States (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) are at or below last year's level. In Idaho, yields are down from last year due to a lack of timely rains during the growing season. Crop development and harvest progress in Washington and Oregon were accelerated due to hot and dry weather during June and July. Yields in these States are down from last year mostly due to these weather conditions. Other Spring Wheat: Production for 2006 is estimated at 460 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2006 Summary but down 9 percent from last year. Harvested area is 13.9 million acres, up 2 percent from 2005. The U.S. yield is 33.2 bushels per acre, down 3.9 bushels from last year. Spring wheat planting in the six major producing States started off behind normal mostly due to excessive moisture during April. However, planting had progressed ahead of normal by mid-May due to warm and dry weather across much of the growing area. The crop's development and maturation was accelerated by hot and dry weather during the months of June and July. This weather caused the crop condition ratings to decline but pushed maturation and harvest progress ahead of the normal pace in all States in the growing area except Washington and Oregon. Yields were also reduced by this hot and dry weather. Yields are down from the previous year in all States except Minnesota, Colorado, Nevada, Washington, and Idaho. Montana, South Dakota, and Utah yields are down at least 10 bushels per acre from the previous year. Durum Wheat: Production for 2006 totals 53.5 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2006 Summary but down 47 percent from the previous year. Grain area harvested is 1.82 million acres, down 33 percent from the previous year. This is the lowest harvested area since 1961 and the lowest production since 1988. The U.S. yield is estimated at 29.5 bushels, down 7.7 bushels from 2005. In the northern Great Plains, hot and dry weather during the months of June and July accelerated crop development but reduced the yield from last year. Yields are at or below last year's level in all States except Idaho and California. Rice: Production in 2006 is estimated at 194 million cwt, down 13 percent from last year's crop but up less than 1 percent from the November forecast. Planted area, at 2.84 million acres, is down 16 percent from 2005. Area for harvest, at 2.82 million acres, is also down 16 percent from last year. The average yield for all U.S. rice is estimated at 6,868 pounds per acre, 232 pounds above the 2005 yield. Planted and harvested area are down from last year in all rice-producing States except Missouri. The largest percentage declines in planted acreage are in Louisiana, down 34 percent from 2005, and Mississippi, down 28 percent. The decrease in acreage is mainly attributed to high fuel prices which left producers facing increased pumping and irrigation costs. Record high yields were attained in Mississippi and Texas. In Mississippi, warm early-season temperatures aided stand establishment, while dry weather later in the season minimized disease and pests. Long grain rice yielded 6,689 pounds per acre across the Nation with production at 146 million cwt. Medium grain rice yielded 7,631 pounds per acre in 2006 with production at 43.8 million cwt. Short grain rice averaged 6,098 pounds per acre and production totaled 3.72 million cwt. Rye: Production for 2006 is estimated at 7.19 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2006 Summary but down 5 percent from last year. Harvested area totals 274,000 acres, down 5,000 acres from 2005. The U.S. yield, at 26.3 bushels per acre, is down 0.7 bushel from last year. Oklahoma leads the Nation in production with 1.04 million bushels produced in 2006. However, drought conditions in the State contributed to the lowest rye yield and production levels since 1996. Proso Millet: Production of proso millet for 2006 is estimated at 10.2 million bushels, down 25 percent from 2005 and 32 percent below 2004. Planted area for the 2006 crop, at 580,000 acres, is up 3 percent while harvested area, at 475,000 acres, is down 8 percent from 2005. The average yield is estimated at 21.5 bushels per acre, down 5.0 bushels from last year. All Hay: Production of dry hay for 2006 is estimated at 142 million tons, down 4 percent from the October 1 forecast and down 6 percent from the 2005 total. Area harvested, at 60.8 million acres, is down 3 percent from the October forecast and down 1 percent from 2005. The average yield, at 2.33 tons per acre, is down 0.02 ton from October and down 0.12 ton from the previous year. Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Hay production in 2006 is estimated at 71.7 million tons, down 4 percent from the October 1 forecast and 6 percent below 2005. Harvested area, at 21.4 million acres, is 5 percent below the October forecast and the previous year and the lowest since 1951. The average yield is 3.35 tons per acre, 0.02 ton above the previous forecast but 0.04 ton below 2005. Compared with 2005, States in the northern Rocky Mountains and northern Great Plains showed the largest decrease in harvested acreage from last year. South Dakota harvested 600,000 acres less than last year and Montana and North Dakota both decreased harvested acres by 200,000 as a result of dry conditions. Wisconsin showed the largest increase, up 100,000 acres from last year. Yields were lower than 2005 throughout the Great Plains as a result of less than favorable conditions this year. All Other Hay: Production in 2006 totals 70.0 million tons, down 3 percent from the October 1 forecast and down 7 percent from 2005. Area for harvest, at 39.4 million acres, is down 2 percent from October but slightly above last year. The average yield is estimated at 1.78 tons per acre, down 0.13 ton from last year. Extremely dry weather conditions during the summer resulted in the release of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land for hay harvest in 30 States. The majority of the CRP land released was located in the Great Plains. Oklahoma and Missouri increased harvested acres by 200,000 from last year. In South Dakota, harvested area is down 300,000 acres from 2005. Drought conditions contributed to lower yields across much of the northern Rocky Mountains, Great Plains, and Southeast. Yields in Georgia and Mississippi are down 1.2 tons and 0.9 ton, respectively, as most of the growing season suffered harsh weather conditions. Yields across most of the northern Atlantic Coast States increased from last year due to favorable late season weather. Forage: Eighteen States participate in the forage estimation program, which measures annual production of forage crops, with an emphasis on total alfalfa production. Haylage and greenchop production is converted to 13 percent moisture and combined with dry hay production to derive the total forage production. The total all haylage and greenchop production for the 18 States in the forage program is 30.6 million tons, of which 22.8 million tons are from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. Wisconsin, the leading haylage and greenchop producing State, harvested 1.55 million acres of all haylage and greenchop in 2006, of which 1.40 million were alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. All haylage and greenchop acreage in Wisconsin is 3 percent below last year. The 18 State total forage area harvested is 37.4 million acres, including 16.1 million acres from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. The total forage harvested area and total forage production are both down 2 percent from last year. New Seedings of Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Growers seeded 3.18 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during 2006, down 3 percent from the 2005 seeded area of 3.29 million acres. The largest decrease occurred in Wisconsin, down 150,000 acres from 2005. 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 2006 is estimated at 3.47 billion pounds, down 29 percent from last year's crop but up 3 percent from the November 1 forecast. Planted area, at 1.24 million acres, is down 25 percent from 2005. Planted acreage is the lowest in the U.S. since 1915. Area for harvest, at 1.21 million acres, is down 26 percent from last year and the lowest since 1930. The U.S. yield is 2,874 pounds per acre, down 115 pounds from 2005. Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina) totals 2.51 billion pounds, down 25 percent from 2005. Area planted in the region totals 951,000 acres, down 22 percent from 2005. Harvested area, at 930,000 acres, is down 22 percent from last year. The average yield in the Southeast region is 2,699 pounds per acre, 109 pounds below last year. All States in the region, except Mississippi, experienced a decline in acreage from 2005 as a result of higher old-crop supplies than in recent years, low farmer stock peanut prices, and higher input costs. Virginia-North Carolina production, at 318 million pounds, is down 10 percent from 2005. Planted area, at 102,000 acres, and harvested area, at 100,000 acres, are both down 15 percent from last year. The average yield in the Virginia-North Carolina region, at 3,184 pounds per acre, is up 184 pounds from 2005. Southwest peanut production (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas), at 646 million pounds, is down 44 percent from last year. Area planted in the region, at 190,000 acres, is down 40 percent from 2005, while harvested area, at 179,000 acres, is down 43 percent from 2005. Yields in the region average 3,607 pounds per acre, 77 pounds below 2005. Record high yields were attained in New Mexico, where warm, dry weather through most of the growing season was ideal for crop development. Canola: Production in 2006 is 1.39 billion pounds, down 12 percent from 2005 but up 14 percent from the October forecast. The yield, at 1,366 pounds per acre, is down 53 pounds from last year's yield but up 154 pounds from October. Area planted is estimated at 1.04 million acres, 10 percent below last year's acreage. Harvested area, at 1.02 million acres, is down 8 percent from 2005. North Dakota production is estimated at 1.28 billion pounds, down 12 percent from last year due to an 8 percent decrease in harvested acreage and a 5 percent decrease in yield. Sunflower: The 2006 sunflower production totaled 2.14 billion pounds, down 47 percent from 2005 but up 5 percent from 2004. The U.S. average yield per acre decreased 329 pounds from last year's record high yield to 1,211 pounds. Planted area, at 1.95 million acres, is 28 percent below last year but 4 percent above 2004. Acreage harvested decreased 32 percent from last year to 1.77 million acres. Production in North Dakota, the leading State, is estimated at 1.11 billion pounds, down 36 percent from 2005. Their 2006 yield per acre, at 1,296 pounds, is down 290 pounds from last year's record high yield. Planted and harvested acres in North Dakota decreased from 2005 by 21 and 22 percent, respectively. In Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota, yields are also down sharply from last year's record high yields. Minnesota is the only State with a yield increase from last year, at 1,756 pounds per acre, up 308 pounds from 2005. This is Minnesota's second highest yield on record, behind only the 1991 record yield of 1,781 pounds per acre. U.S. production of oil type sunflower varieties, at 1.79 billion pounds, decreased 44 percent from 2005. Harvested acres are down 25 percent from the previous year and the yield decreased by 383 pounds. Production of non-oil sunflower varieties, at 356 million pounds, decreased 58 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 256,000 acres, is down 56 percent from 2005. The average yield decreased by 66 pounds from last year to 1,389 pounds per acre, but is still the third highest U.S. yield on record for non-oil varieties. Soybeans: Production in 2006 totals 3.19 billion bushels, the largest U.S. soybean crop in history. This is down less than 1 percent from the November forecast but 4 percent above the 2005 production. The average yield per acre is estimated at 42.7 bushels, 0.3 bushel below both the November forecast and last year's record high yield. Planted area for the Nation, at a record high 75.5 million acres, is up 5 percent from 2005. Soybean growers harvested a record high 74.6 million acres, also up 5 percent from last year and up fractionally from November. New record highs for planted and harvested area were set in Kansas, Nebraska, New York, and North Dakota, while Pennsylvania tied their previous record high for both planted and harvested acreage. Yields are down from last year across the Great Plains, most of the Gulf Coast States, Iowa, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. The biggest declines from last year occurred in Alabama and Mississippi, down 13.0 and 10.5 bushels from 2005, respectively, as hot summer temperatures combined with very little rain to limit soybean yields. Meanwhile, yields were up from last year across the central and eastern Corn Belt, most of the central and northern Atlantic Coast States, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The largest increase from last year is in South Carolina, where the yield increased 8.5 bushels from last year, as timely rains during the season produced a new record yield for the State. Record high yields were also set in Louisiana, Michigan, and New York, and record high yields were tied in Kentucky and Ohio. Planting of the 2006 soybean crop started off extremely well for most of the major growing areas, as most States were at or ahead of the normal pace by the end of April. With the excellent planting conditions in the Delta region, farmers were 12 to 29 percentage points ahead of their normal planting pace by the end of April. In early May, spring rains caused soybean planting to fall behind the normal pace across the Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains. However, planting progressed rapidly through the rest of the month, advancing to 79 percent complete by the end of May, 11 points ahead of the 5-year average. As of May 28, all States were ahead of their normal planting pace except Indiana and North Carolina, where fields had excess moisture. The crop began emerging slightly behind normal in mid-May, but advanced rapidly during the remainder of the month, reaching 42 percent emerged by May 28, three points ahead of the 5-year average. The soybean crop progressed well through June and July, with plant emergence and blooming ahead of normal in nearly all States as hot, dry conditions prevailed across the Corn Belt and Great Plains. Soybean emergence reached 97 percent on June 25, which was ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. The only State that was behind normal was Indiana, at 93 percent, which was 1 point behind the 5-year average. By July 30, eighty-seven percent of U.S. crop was blooming, 2 percentage points behind last year but 6 points ahead of the 5-year average. Pod-setting was at or ahead of normal in nearly all States by the end of July, with Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, and Tennessee all 25 points or more ahead of their normal pace. As of July 30, only Illinois and Indiana were behind their 5-year average, by 3 points and 9 points, respectively. Hot weather rapidly matured the crop during July, but it had a negative impact on the condition of the soybean crop. As of July 2, sixty-four percent of the soybean crop was rated good to excellent. By the end of July, only 53 percent of the crop was rated good to excellent. However, conditions improved during the month of August due to above-normal precipitation in the Great Plains and near-normal precipitation across the Corn Belt. By September 3, fifty-nine percent of the crop was rated good to excellent. However, drought conditions persisted in Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi. Crop conditions continued to improve during September as temperatures were below normal nearly nationwide, and by October 1, sixty-two percent of the crop was rated as good to excellent. Eighty-seven percent of the soybeans were dropping leaves by October 1, four points behind last year but 3 points ahead of the 5-year average. However, harvest lagged behind normal as heavy rainfall during September limited fieldwork in the Ohio River Valley and middle Atlantic Coast States. Precipitation was lighter across the Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains, but it was enough to slow crop harvest during September. As of October 1, only 19 percent of the crop was harvested, 14 points behind last year and 7 points behind the 5-year average. Harvest lagged a week or more behind normal in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and South Dakota. Soybean harvest progressed rapidly during the first half of October as dry conditions in the Great Plains and western Corn Belt were beneficial to fieldwork. However, harvest was slowed in the latter part of October as rainfall in the eastern Corn Belt continued to hinder fieldwork. By October 29, eighty-three percent of the crop was harvested, 8 percentage points behind last year and 2 points behind the 5-year average. By November 19, conditions had allowed harvest to progress to 96 percent complete. Final average pod counts from the objective yield survey were lower than last year in seven of the eleven objective yield program States. Pod counts were higher than last year in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, and Missouri. Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2006 totaled 11.0 million bushels, down 44 percent from last year but 6 percent above 2004. The average yield is estimated at 14.4 bushels per acre, down 6.2 bushels from 2005. Planted area for the 2006 crop is estimated at 813,000 acres, down 17 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 767,000 acres, is down 20 percent from 2005. In North Dakota, the leading flaxseed State, production totaled 10.4 million bushels, down 43 percent from 2005. Growers planted 750,000 acres, a decrease of 16 percent from the previous year. The average yield in North Dakota is estimated at 14.5 bushels per acre, down 6.5 bushels from last year. Planting began in late April and progressed behind the average pace due to wet field conditions. Warm, dry conditions later in the spring helped fields dry quickly and allowed growers to complete planting ahead of average. Hot, dry conditions during July depleted soil moisture levels and caused the crop condition to deteriorate. Harvest began at the end of July and progressed ahead of the average pace. By September 24, harvest was essentially complete, over a week ahead of last year and three weeks ahead of average. Safflower: Production of safflower in 2006, at 191 million pounds, is down 13 percent from the revised 2005 production. Growers planted 189,000 acres in 2006, an increase of 12 percent from last year, while harvested area is 179,000 acres, up 9 percent from the previous year. The yield, at 1,069 pounds per acre, decreased 270 pounds from 2005. California producers led the nation, producing 99.9 million pounds of safflower. Other Oilseeds: Mustard seed production in 2006 declined 20 percent from last year to 28.2 million pounds, continuing the downward trend that began in 2002. Planted area, at 40,500 acres, is down 17 percent and harvested area, at 39,200 acres, is down 12 percent from 2005. Yields averaged 720 pounds per acre, 67 pounds below a year ago. Rapeseed production decreased as well, down 63 percent from 2005 to 1.10 million pounds. Growers planted 1,400 acres of rapeseed in 2006 and harvested 1,000 acres, both down 1,000 acres from last year. The average yield is 1,100 pounds per acre, down 400 pounds from last year. Production and harvested area are at the lowest levels since records began in 1991. Cotton: Upland cotton production is estimated at 21.0 million bales, up 2 percent from the December 1 forecast but 10 percent below last year's record high production. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is estimated at 811 pounds per acre, up 21 pounds from last month but 14 pounds below last year's yield. Harvested acreage at 12.4 million acres is down less than 1 percent from last month and 8 percent below last year. Upland planted area, estimated at 14.9 million acres, is 7 percent above last year. In the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia), planting was completed by mid-June. During the summer months, producers in Georgia and Alabama battled drought conditions. Producers in the Carolinas and Virginia received favorable weather but Tropical Storm Ernesto made landfall in late August bringing heavy rains and strong winds to some areas. By mid-September, harvest was in full swing in Alabama and Georgia aided by hot, dry weather. Harvest in the Carolinas started in late September. Harvest throughout the region was complete by early December. The objective yield survey in Georgia showed the largest bolls per acre on record but the boll weight was the third lowest on record. Production in Georgia is a record high, surpassing the previous record set in 2001. In the Delta region, planting was complete by late May. The summer months of June and July brought hot, dry conditions throughout the region which allowed the crop to mature ahead of normal. With the advanced crop, harvest got underway in late August in Mississippi and Louisiana. In Arkansas, Tennessee, and Missouri, heavy rains during the early fall delayed harvest. However, by early October, harvest was in full swing and was complete by late November. In Arkansas and Louisiana, objective yield data showed the bolls per acre to be the largest in the last ten years and the boll weight in Arkansas was the heaviest in the last ten years. Data from the objective yield survey in Mississippi showed boll weight and boll counts to be lowest in the last 5 years. In Arkansas and Tennessee, production is at a record high level, surpassing the previous record set last year. Hot, dry conditions allowed producers in the Southwest (Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) to finish planting in early June, ahead of normal. The drought conditions continued throughout the summer causing stress to the dryland cotton but allowing the crop to mature well ahead of normal. In the Plains region, cooler temperatures and rain showers in late August and early September brought much needed relief to the crop. In South Texas, harvest was complete in late September. In Oklahoma and Kansas, harvest was in full swing in mid-October. Wet early fall weather in the Texas Plains delayed harvest but progress gained momentum in late November after the first freeze. Data from the objective yield survey in Texas showed an above average number of bolls per acre while the boll weight was the heaviest on record. California upland producers battled cool, wet weather in March and April that delayed planting but by early June planting was complete. Hot, dry weather started in late June and continued throughout July with temperatures exceeding over 100 degrees F for several weeks causing stress to the crop. Even with the heat stress endured in July, the crop matured and developed normally throughout the fall. Harvest in the Desert Southwest got underway in late August and was complete by late October. In California, harvest wrapped up in December. The objective yield survey indicated California's weight per boll to be the lowest in the last 10 years. American-Pima producers planted 326,000, up 21 percent from last year. California producers planted a record high 275,000 acres. The increase in U.S. planted acreage led to a 20 percent increase from last year in harvested area, with 323,500 acres harvested. Production is estimated at 756,000 bales, up 4 percent from last month and 20 percent above last year. With the prolonged heat in California during July, the crop developed later than normal. By late October, harvest was in full swing in California and Arizona where favorable weather conditions allowed for a second picking of the crop. All cotton ginnings totaled 19,218,550 runnings bales prior to January 1, compared with 20,107,550 prior to the same date last year and 18,924,750 in 2004. Cottonseed: Production for 2006, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 7.63 million tons, down 7 percent from last year. Tobacco: U.S. tobacco production in 2006 totaled 727 million pounds, down 1 percent from the October forecast but 13 percent above 2005. Growers harvested 338,950 acres in 2006, up 1 percent from the previous forecast and 14 percent above last year. Harvested acreage is down 17 percent from 2004, the year before the tobacco buyout eliminated tobacco quotas. Yield per acre averaged 2,144 pounds, a 50 pound decrease from the October forecast and 27 pounds below 2005. Flue-cured production is estimated at 447 million pounds, down 2 percent from the October 1 forecast but 17 percent above last year. Harvested acres totaled 213,100, up 2 percent from the previous forecast and 22 percent above 2005. Flue-cured yields averaged 2,095 pounds, a decrease of 86 pounds from the October forecast and down 87 pounds from a year ago. In North Carolina, the leading flue-cured State, growers in the eastern part of the State reported storm and rain damage which contributed to lower yields. Burley production totaled 217 million pounds in 2006, down less than 1 percent from the October 1 forecast but 7 percent above a year ago. Growers harvested 103,600 acres in 2006, virtually unchanged since the previous forecast but up 3 percent from 2005. Yield per acre averaged 2,095 pounds, down 2 pounds from the October 1 forecast but 64 pounds above last year. Yields in Kentucky and Tennessee, the two largest burley States, increased from a year ago. Growers reported good growing conditions in both States. However, fall weather in Kentucky was not ideal for harvesting and curing. Sugarbeets: Production for 2006 is estimated at a record high 33.8 million tons, 23 percent above the 2005 estimate and slightly above the November 1 forecast. Estimated yield, at a record high 25.9 tons per acre, is 3.8 tons higher than last year and 0.1 ton higher than the previous forecast. Growers harvested 1.30 million acres, 5 percent more than last year but fractionally below the previous forecast. Area planted, at 1.37 million acres, is 5 percent above 2005 and 4,000 acres above the August estimate. Growers in Idaho, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and Oregon saw record yields in 2006. In Minnesota and North Dakota, production was also at a record high despite the abandonment of 27,000 and 18,000 acres, respectively, to avoid exceeding processing capacities. Michigan's production was also a record high. All States exceeded their 2005 production, except California, where growers planted and harvested the smallest area since records began in 1924. Planted area was higher than last year in all States, except California and Montana, as factories contracted more acreage to replenish sugar stocks depleted by last year's hurricane-related losses to the sugarcane crop. Rainfall and low soil temperatures in the major growing areas delayed planting of the crop early in the season. As of April 16, just 7 percent of the acreage had been planted, compared with 23 percent last year and 22 percent for the 5-year average. Planting continued to trail behind normal through April and the first half of May, but reached 96 percent complete on May 21, slightly ahead of normal. Harvest progressed slightly behind the normal pace in the four major growing States. Idaho growers harvested their acreage slightly ahead of normal, while Michigan, Minnesota, and North Dakota producers trailed behind the normal pace. Harvest reached 98 percent complete by November 12. At that time, harvest was complete in the Red River Valley and nearly complete in Idaho but trailed well behind normal in Michigan. Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed is estimated at 29.5 million tons, 1 percent below the December forecast but 11 percent above last year's 26.6 million tons. Area harvested and to be harvested for sugar and seed is estimated at 908,800 acres for the 2006 crop year, down 1 percent from 2005. Of the total area for harvest, 856,300 acres are for sugar and 52,500 for seed. Though total acreage is unchanged from the December forecast, 5,000 more acres will be harvested for sugar, and 5,000 fewer acres will be harvested for seed. Yield is estimated at 32.4 tons per acre, 0.5 ton below last month but 3.5 tons higher than in 2005. Unlike in 2005, no hurricanes affected the Nation's sugarcane crop. One tropical storm, Ernesto, impacted Florida's crop, bringing very little in the way of wind damage, though heavy rainfall associated with the storm delayed planting of the 2007 crop. Both Florida and Louisiana growers expect higher yields for the 2006 crop than reported for last year's hurricane-damaged crop. However, Louisiana's expected yield is down 1.0 ton from the previous estimate due to two cold-weather events in early December, prior to the completion of harvest. Dry Beans: U.S. dry edible bean production is estimated at 24.2 million cwt for 2006, up 2 percent from the December forecast but 9 percent below last year. Harvested acreage is estimated at 1.54 million acres, up less than 1 percent from both the December forecast and the 2005 crop. The average U.S. yield is estimated at 1,577 pounds per acre, an increase of 19 pounds from the last forecast but 169 pounds below a year ago. Production is down from 2005 in 11 of the 18 producing States. Production is down from a year ago for large lima, baby lima, great northern, small white, pinto, light red kidney, dark red kidney, small red, and cranberry. Production increased from last year for navy, pink, black, blackeye, and all chickpeas. Production in North Dakota is estimated at 7.68 million cwt, 11 percent below 2005. Harvested acres increased 13 percent, while the average yield, at 1,200 pounds per acre, is down 320 pounds from last year. Harvest was essentially complete by mid-October, slightly ahead of last year and the 5-year average. Nebraska growers produced 2.73 million cwt of dry beans, 30 percent less than last year. The average yield, at 2,200 pounds per acre, is down 50 pounds from the previous year. Production in Minnesota, at 2.23 million cwt, is 8 percent below last year. The average yield, at 1,650 pounds per acre, is down 150 pounds from 2005. Lower yields were attributed to dry, hot weather during the summer. Some growers had mold problems caused by wet conditions near harvest. California production is estimated at 1.21 million cwt, down 13 percent from 2005. The average yield, at 1,860 pounds per acre, is down 270 pounds from last year. Intense summer heat reduced yields. Production in Utah is down 91 percent from last year due to severe rain and hail storms which destroyed most of their crop. South Dakota declined 26 percent and Kansas and Wyoming both decreased 24 percent. Wisconsin is 16 percent below last year, New York is 15 percent lower, and Colorado is down 14 percent from 2005. In Michigan, production at 4.09 million cwt, is 4 percent above last year. Harvested area, at 215,000 acres, is 7 percent below 2005, while yield of 1,900 pounds per acre is 200 pounds above last season. By the beginning of October, harvest was 75 percent complete, but persistent rains during October made harvest of the remaining acreage difficult and increased abandoned acres. Harvest was 95 percent complete by the end of October. Idaho growers produced 1.91 million cwt, 2 percent above 2005. Harvested area, at 103,000 acres, increased 5 percent from last season, while yield, at 1,850 pounds per acre, dropped 50 pounds. Chickpea acres and production continue to climb in Idaho. Production in New Mexico is 42 percent above last year, Washington increased 22 percent, Montana and Oregon are both up 8 percent, and Texas growers produced 2 percent more than last year. Lentils: Production of lentils in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington is estimated at 3.24 million cwt for 2006, down 2 percent from the November 1 forecast and 37 percent below 2005. Planted area, at 429,000 acres, remains unchanged from the previous forecast but is 5 percent below the previous season. Harvested area, at 407,000 acres, is 1 percent above the November 1 forecast but 7 percent below last year. Average yield per acre, at 797 pounds, is 25 pounds below November's forecast and 379 pounds below last year. Montana's production, at 804 thousand cwt, is down 57 percent from a year ago. Early May's seasonable temperatures and light precipitation gave way to above normal temperatures by the end of May and early June. Continued above average temperatures, accompanied by limited precipitation, were common throughout the remainder of the growing season, which lowered the crop's potential. North Dakota's production is estimated at 1.21 million cwt, down 38 percent from 2005. Adequate moisture supplies in June gave way to drier conditions in July and August. Above average temperatures during the season hindered the crop as well. Production in Washington, at 760,000 cwt, is up 1 percent from 2005. Excessive moisture early in the season slowed planting, but proved beneficial to the crop as high temperatures and limited rainfall were prevalent throughout the remainder of the crop year. Idaho's production, at 466,000 cwt, is 18 percent below last year. Excessive heat and limited rainfall negatively impacted Idaho's crop as well. Wrinkled Seed Peas: Growers of wrinkled seed peas in Idaho and Washington produced 590,000 cwt in 2006, down 11 percent from the 2005 revised production of 665,000 cwt. Production in Idaho, at 80,000 cwt, is down 43 percent from 2005. Production in Washington, at 510,000 cwt, decreased 3 percent from the 2005 revised production of 525,000 cwt. Dry Edible Peas: Production of dry edible peas in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, and Washington is estimated at 13.2 million cwt for 2006, up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast but down 6 percent from 2005. Area harvested, at 884,100 acres, is up 1 percent from the previous forecast and 15 percent above last year. Average yield, at 1,493 pounds per acre, decreased 3 pounds from the November 1 forecast and is 335 pounds below 2005. Production in Idaho, Montana, North Dakota and Washington is down 22 percent, 6 percent, 5 percent, and 10 percent, respectively, from last season. Production in Oregon showed a 69 percent increase from 2005, but 19 percent below the 2004 crop. Planting in North Dakota started in mid April but was delayed due to a late winter storm and subsequent wet fields. Dry conditions during May allowed the planting to catch up and was virtually complete by the end of the month. Soil moisture supplies were adequate during June but deteriorated to mostly short and very short for the remainder of the growing season. Additionally, above normal temperatures adversely affected crop conditions. Harvest started the third week of July and was complete by the third week of August, nearly two weeks ahead of last year's pace. Montana received heavy precipitation near the end of April which caused a short delay in planting. Temperatures in the mid 70s during the beginning of May with light precipitation enabled farmers to finish planting ahead of last year. Above normal temperatures prevailed during the end of May and the beginning of June. During July and August, the State had above normal temperatures and limited precipitation both of which negatively impacted pea yields. Although Idaho's yields were improved over last year, a very hot summer with little moisture had a negative affect on both quality and quantity. In Washington, excessive moisture early in the season slowed spring planting but improved overall crop condition. Although yield increased by 100 cwt per acre from last year's level, extremely high temperatures and lack of moisture limited the crop's potential. Oregon experienced a wet spring and a warm, dry summer but yields increased 60 cwt per acre from 2005. Austrian Winter Peas: Production of Austrian winter peas in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon for the 2006 season is estimated at 259,000 cwt, equal to the November 1 forecast but 16 percent below 2005. Area harvested, at 22,500 acres, is 5 percent above the previous forecast but 8 percent below last season. Average yield, at 1,151 pounds per acre, decreased 54 pounds from the November 1 forecast and is 102 pounds below 2005. Hot, dry conditions prevailed in Montana and Oregon for much of the growing season, which lowered both quality and quantity. Many fields were reported to have been plowed under or grazed. Although Idaho's yield is up 200 pounds per acre from last year, a very hot, dry summer had a negative impact on both quality and quantity. Winter Potatoes: The final 2006 winter potato production is estimated at 4.50 million cwt, down 3 percent from the April forecast and 8 percent below 2005. Harvested area of 17,500 acres is unchanged from the April 1 forecast but 12 percent less than last year. The average yield of 257 cwt per acre is down 7 cwt from the April forecast but 10 cwt above 2005. California's production, at 3.12 million cwt, is 11 percent below last season. Florida's production, at 1.38 million cwt, is down 1 percent from a year ago. Spring Potatoes: Production for 2006 is estimated at 19.8 million cwt, down 4 percent from the May forecast but 6 percent above 2005. Harvested area totaled 67,500 acres, 3 percent below the previous forecast but up 1 percent from a year ago. The average yield of 293 cwt per acre decreased 3 cwt from the May forecast but increased 12 cwt from 2005. Spring potato production in Texas increased 39 percent from 2005 and 14 percent in North Carolina. Growing conditions were good in Texas resulting in higher yields than last year. In North Carolina growing conditions prior to harvest time were the best in recent years, increasing yields from the previous year, but substantial rain just before harvest drowned out many acres. The spring potato production in Arizona, California, and Florida all declined 1 percent from 2005. The decreases in Arizona and Florida are due to fewer acres being harvested. California growers realized a lower yield than last year due to wet spring conditions. Summer Potatoes: Growers produced 18.4 million cwt of summer potatoes in 2006, down 2 percent from the September forecast but up 5 percent from a year ago. Harvested area, at 54,300 acres, is up 6 percent from last year. The average yield of 340 cwt per acre is 2 cwt below last year's record high yield. Summer production increased 47 percent from last year in Virginia, 23 percent in Alabama, and 19 percent in Illinois. Production is 12 percent above 2005 in both Missouri and New Jersey, 5 percent more in both Maryland and Texas, and 1 percent above in Kansas. In California, production is virtually unchanged from last year. Colorado and Delaware were the only two States where summer potato production decreased from last year with 19 percent and 37 percent, respectively. Fall Potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2006 is estimated at 392 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the December forecast but up 2 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 976,200 acres, is down less than 1 percent from December but 3 percent above last year. The average yield is estimated at 402 cwt per acre, 1 cwt above December but 1 cwt below last year's record high. Western States production is estimated at 265 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the December forecast but down 2 percent from last year. Acreage harvested, at 607,600 acres, increased 1 percent from last year, but the average yield of 437 cwt per acre is down 12 cwt from 2005. Idaho's potato production is estimated at 122 million cwt, 3 percent above last year. The average yield is 371 cwt per acre, 5 cwt above last year. This is the second highest yield on record, 3 cwt below the record high set in 2004. Extremely hot weather in late July caused some concern, but crop progress was advanced enough that yields were not substantially affected. Production in Washington is estimated at 89.9 million cwt, 6 percent below last year. This is the lowest production since 1997. Colorado's production decreased 1 percent from 2005 and yields are down 15 cwt per acre. Unusually wet and cool growing conditions along with early hail hampered development, lowering yields and tuber sizes. Oregon's production, at 18.5 million cwt, is 16 percent below last year. Yield, at 530 cwt per acre, is 64 cwt below the record high set in 2005. In California, production is up 14 percent. Good growing conditions resulted in larger tuber size and higher yields. In Montana, production is up 2 percent and the crop quality is reported to be good. Nevada growers increased production 26 percent from 2005. Growing conditions were good and irrigation water supplies adequate. New Mexico's production is up 19 percent from last year, due mainly to more harvested acres. Central States production is estimated at 99.1 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the December forecast but 11 percent above last year. Harvested area, estimated at 277,500 acres, is 7 percent above a year ago, and the average yield of 357 cwt per acre is up 13 cwt from a year ago. Wisconsin growers produced 5 percent more than last year. Yield, at 445 cwt per acre, is a record high and is 35 cwt above last year. North Dakota's production is up 24 percent from last year. The average yield, at 260 cwt per acre, is 10 cwt above 2005. This is the second highest yield on record. Minnesota production increased 16 percent from last year. Drier conditions allowed harvest to progress ahead of last year. Michigan production is 2 percent above 2005. Cool wet weather during October delayed harvest but drier weather the first part of November allowed harvest to be completed. The unfavorable weather may lead to some quality issues in storage potatoes. Nebraska's yield, at 445 cwt per acre, is a record high and 20 cwt above last year. Ohio production is 15 percent above last year. An increase in yield of 80 cwt per acre more than offset a 14 percent decrease in harvested acres. Eastern States production is estimated at 27.6 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the December forecast but 14 percent above last year. Area for harvest totaled 91,100 acres, 1 percent above last year. Average yield, at 303 cwt per acre, is up 35 cwt from last season. Maine production is estimated at 18.3 million cwt, 18 percent above 2005. The average yield, at 315 cwt per acre, is a record high and 40 cwt above the previous year. In New York, the average yield is 300 cwt per acre, 40 cwt above last year and equal to the record high set in 2003. Massachusetts and Rhode Island expect production to increase 29 percent and 24 percent, respectively. Pennsylvania production is estimated at 1 percent below last year. All Potatoes: Total 2006 U.S. potato production from all four seasons is estimated at 435 million cwt, 3 percent above the 2005 crop but 5 percent below 2004. Harvested area, at 1.12 million acres, is up 3 percent from last year but 4 percent lower than two years ago. The average yield, at 390 cwt per acre, is unchanged from last year but 1 cwt below 2004. By season, fall production is 2 percent above the previous year, summer is up 5 percent, spring increased 6 percent, and winter is down 8 percent from 2005. Sweet Potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2006 is estimated at 16.4 million cwt, up 5 percent from last season and 2 percent above 2004. An increase in yield more than offset the decrease in harvested acres. Growers harvested 87,200 acres, down 1 percent from last year. Yield per acre, at 189 cwt, is up 11 cwt from the previous record high yield in 2005. Production increased 26 percent in Virginia, 24 percent in Texas, 18 percent in North Carolina, 14 percent in California, and 4 percent in New Jersey. Production declined 20 percent in Mississippi, 12 percent in South Carolina, 10 percent in Louisiana, and 2 percent in Alabama. Growing conditions on the east coast were excellent for sweet potatoes. In North Carolina, growers had record high yields. Drought conditions affected the crop in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. In Louisiana, periodic rainfall and irrigation helped relieve the dry conditions, but excessive rain during harvest caused 25 percent of the acres planted not to be harvested. Despite these conditions, yield is the second highest on record for Louisiana. October rains in Mississippi softened the soil for harvest. In Texas, growers suffered losses due to the drought but the quality remained very good. In California, yields were above average and quality was good. Peppermint Oil: Production of peppermint oil in 2006 is estimated at 7.25 million pounds, up 4 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at 79,200 acres, up 4 percent from 2005. Growers in Washington showed a harvested acreage increase of 4 percent. Idaho, Indiana, and Wisconsin producers increased their acreage by 11 percent, 9 percent and 25 percent, respectively. Michigan's harvested acreage, at 700, dropped 30 percent from a year ago, while Oregon showed a 4 percent decline. The U.S. average yield is 92 pounds of oil per acre, unchanged from last year. Spearmint Oil: Spearmint oil production is estimated at 2.04 million pounds for 2006, up 13 percent from last year's revised estimate and 11 percent above 2004. Harvested area is estimated at 18,500 acres, up 11 percent from 2005 and 17 percent above 2004. Average yield is estimated at 110 pounds of oil per acre, up 2 pounds from last year but 6 pounds below 2004. Growers in Washington, Idaho, and Indiana increased their acreage 21 percent, 17 percent and 6 percent, respectively. Oregon showed a 17 percent decrease in harvested acreage from a year ago, while Michigan and Wisconsin acres remained unchanged from last year. Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2006 totaled 57.7 million pounds, up 9 percent from the 2005 crop of 52.9 million pounds, and 4 percent above the 2004 production of 55.2 million pounds. Idaho's production decreased 16 percent in 2006. Production in Washington and Oregon increased 12 percent and 10 percent, respectively. Washington showed a 2 percent acreage increase. Oregon and Idaho acreage were down 2 percent and 15 percent, respectively. Yields increased in Washington to 2,058 pounds per acre, and in Oregon to 1,760 pounds per acre. Idaho yields averaged 1,613 pounds per acre, 27 pounds less than a year ago. Washington growers produced 77 percent of the U.S. hop crop for 2006. Zeus, Columbus/Tomahawk, Galena, and Willamette were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 71 percent of the State's hop crop. In Oregon, Willamette and Nugget were the major varieties, accounting for 77 percent of the State's hop production. Maple Syrup: The 2006 U.S. maple syrup production totaled 1.45 million gallons, up 17 percent from 2005 but 4 percent below 2004. Maple syrup production increased in all States except Connecticut and Massachusetts, which remained the same. Vermont led all States in production with 460,000 gallons, an increase of 12 percent from last season. Vermont syrup production accounted for 53 percent of New England's production and 32 percent of the U.S. production. Maine's production, second in the United States at 300,000 gallons, increased 13 percent from 2005. Production in New York, at 253,000 gallons, is 14 percent above last year. Production was up 100 percent in Wisconsin, 34 percent in Michigan, 13 percent in Ohio, 12 percent in New Hampshire, and 8 percent in Pennsylvania from 2005. Large increases in yield as well as additional taps set in many States led to increased production in 2006. Producers in Maine, Michigan, Ohio, Vermont, and Wisconsin reported favorable sap flow conditions. Weather in the 5 other States was either too warm or too cold for favorable sap flow. Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 7.30 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2006-07 season, down 11 percent from the previous season. Harvested area is estimated at 6,300 acres, up 3 percent from the 2005-06 season. Coffee production for the 2006-07 season from the island of Hawaii is forecast at 3.50 million pounds (parchment basis) while production from the islands of Kauai, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu is forecast at 3.80 million pounds (parchment basis). Reduced production from Kona, the primary growing area on the island of Hawaii, accounts for the lower State production. This reduction is attributed to the alternate bearing nature of coffee and heavy pruning following last year's bumper crop. Puerto Rico's production for the 2006-07 season is estimated at 19.8 million pounds (parchment basis), down 2 percent from the previous season. Growing conditions were generally favorable this year. Rainfall encouraged early bloom periods which resulted in this year's crop being harvested earlier than normal. Taro: Hawaii taro production is estimated at 4.50 million pounds, up 5 percent from the record low production of the 2005 crop. Area in crop, at 380 acres, is up 20 acres from 2005. Heavy winter rains flooded taro fields and slowed corm development. Production from the 2006 crop is the second lowest since estimates began in 1946. Ginger Root: Hawaii ginger root production for the 2005-06 season is estimated at 4.30 million pounds, down 16 percent from the previous season. Harvested area, at 100 acres, is down 17 percent from the 2004-05 season. Average yield, at 43,000 pounds per harvested acre, is up 500 pounds from the previous season. Growing conditions were generally favorable throughout the season. However, occasional periods of excessive moisture resulted in some reports of bacterial blight.
