Also included are first of the month stocks of potatoes (December through June) for the 15 major fall producing States. Production, disposition, and value data for Alaska are shown separately. These final estimates are based on information furnished by crop reporters, processors, and cooperating State or Federal Agencies. The various sources include: Market News Service rail and truck shipments, Federal-State inspections, and miscellaneous data available through marketing programs. Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale, including the value paid for a government diversion program. These prices are applied to total production to compute value of production and to the quantity sold to compute value of sales. Some unsold potatoes contribute to the value of production, including farm use for seed, feed, home use, and loss. The United States season average price is obtained by weighting State prices by quantities sold. Potato production, utilization, and value of sales in each State have been classified by seasonal group according to the period (quarter) when the largest supplies are harvested. The four seasonal groups are as follows: Season Usual Time of Harvest Winter January through March Spring April through June Summer July to Mid-September Fall September through November A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Seasons are not fixed dates but are approximations because of overlapping of harvest before or after the specified season. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall potatoes when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. Thus, the marketing year for fall potatoes is from the start of harvest through August of the following year. Program changes in 2000 combined Alabama's spring production with their summer production, North Carolina's summer potatoes were combined into their spring crop, and Nebraska's summer potatoes were combined with their fall crop. The Iowa potato estimates were dropped from the summer program and the Wyoming estimates were dropped from the fall program. Kansas' production, recently on the increase, was added to the summer estimates. These changes were used to arrive at comparable percentages. Record High Potato Production; Value Drops 6 Percent Total 2000 potato production is estimated at 514 million cwt, up 7 percent from 1999, and 3 percent above the previous record high in 1996. Harvested area, at 1.35 million acres, gained 1 percent from 1999. The average yield of 381 cwt per acre was a record high, up 22 cwt from 1999. By season, winter production jumped 22 percent, and for comparable States, summer gained 5 percent, and fall was up 8 percent, while spring production fell 13 percent. Summer potato production was revised to 19.2 million cwt for 2000, up 5 percent from 1999 for comparable States. Harvested area, at 63,200 acres, was down 2 percent from 1999. The average 2000 yield of 304 cwt per acre was a record high for summer potatoes and 11 cwt above the previous year for comparable States. Fall potatoes were finalized at a record high 468 million cwt for 2000, up 8 percent from a year ago for comparable States. Area harvested in 1999 was estimated at 1.19 million acres, up 2 percent from 1999. The average yield, at 392 cwt per acre, was a record high, up 23 cwt from a year ago. Final production of fall potatoes was 1 percent below the Annual Crop Summary in January but 1 percent above the first forecast made in November 2000. Value of all potato production in 2000 was estimated at $2.59 billion, down 6 percent from the previous year. The average price, at $5.08 per cwt, fell 69 cents from a year earlier. Sales from the 2000 potato crop totaled 465 million cwt, up 6 percent from 1999. Sales accounted for 90 percent of 2000 production. Non sales accounted for 49.0 million cwt of 2000 crop potatoes, up 19 percent from last year. Over the past five years, 91 percent of the potatoes grown have been sold. The other 9 percent were either lost (shrinkage and loss) or used on farms where grown (seed, home use, and livestock feed). Processors used 288 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2000 crop, up 5 percent from 1999. Table stock sales totaled 139 million cwt, 3 percent above last year. Seed sales of 23.6 million cwt were down 7 percent. Sales for livestock feed, at 10.1 million cwt, was more than triple a year earlier, mainly because of a government diversion program that bought 6.87 million cwt for feed. The feed category claimed 3.14 million cwt in 1999. Chip potato use totaled 52.4 million cwt, down 1 percent from a year ago. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 174 million cwt of raw potatoes, up 6 percent. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 54.9 million cwt, a gain of 8 percent. Canning use, at 5.41 million cwt, declined 5 percent. Starch, flour and other products were made from 1.81 million cwt of potatoes, up 38 percent from last year. Shrinkage and loss was estimated at 43.7 million cwt, up 23 percent from last year. Livestock feed on potato farms and home use totaled 1.47 million cwt, an increase of 28 percent. Growers kept 3.82 million cwt for seed on their own farms, down 14 percent from a year earlier.
