Also included are first of the month stocks of potatoes (December through June) for the 13 major fall potato producing States. Monthly prices, farm marketings, varieties of fall potatoes, percent of acreage planted by type, certified seed acres, objective yield results, and size and grade are also included for selected States. Production, disposition, and value data for Alaska are shown separately. These 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. 2005 Potato Production Up 1 Percent Total 2005 potato production is estimated at 424 million cwt, up 1 percent from the estimate made in the January Annual Crop Summary but 7 percent below the 2004 crop. Harvested area, at 1.09 million acres, decreased 7 percent from a year ago. This is the lowest harvested acres on record since the series began in 1866. The average yield of 390 cwt per acre is down 1 cwt from the record high set in 2004 but 23 cwt above the average yield from the 2003 crop. Seasonal estimates are carried forward from earlier revisions. Winter potato production in 2005 is 4.89 million cwt, an increase of 2 percent from 2004. Harvested area, at 19,800 acres, is up 7 percent from the previous year. The average yield of 247 cwt per acre is down 13 cwt from 2004. Spring potatoes final estimate for 2005, at 18.7 million cwt, decreased 17 percent from the pervious year. Harvested acres, at 66,700, are down 8 percent from 2004 and a record low. The average yield of 281 cwt per acre is 33 cwt below the record high set in 2004. Summer potato production is 17.6 million cwt for 2005, down 4 percent from 2004. Harvested area, at 51,400 acres, is down 5 percent from the previous year and a record low. The average yield of 342 cwt per acre is a record high, 2 cwt above the previous record high set in 2004. Fall potatoes are finalized at 383 million cwt for 2005, down 7 percent from the 2004 crop. Area harvested in 2005 is estimated at 949,000 acres, down 7 percent from a year earlier. The average yield, at 403 cwt per acre, is a record high, 2 cwt above the previous record high set in 2004. The value of all potatoes sold in 2005 is estimated at $2.76 billion, up 18 percent from the previous year. The average price, at $7.06 per cwt, is up $1.40 from a year earlier. Sales from the 2005 potato crop totaled 391 million cwt, down 6 percent from 2004. Sales account for 92 percent of 2005 production. Non-sales account for 33.3 million cwt, 21 percent below the previous year. Over the past five years, 92 percent of the potatoes grown have been sold. The other 8 percent were either lost (shrinkage and loss) or used on farms where grown (seed, home use, and livestock feed). Processors used 246 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2005 crop, down 5 percent from a year earlier. Table stock sales totaled 120 million cwt, 8 percent below the previous year. Seed sales of 22.3 million cwt are down 3 percent from 2004. Sales for livestock feed, at 2.00 million cwt, are up 3 percent from a year earlier. Potatoes used for chips and shoestrings totaled 51.0 million cwt in 2005, up 2 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 148 million cwt of raw potatoes, down 4 percent. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 42.3 million cwt, 13 percent below 2004. Canning use, at 3.05 million cwt, fell 20 percent. Starch, flour, and other products were made from 1.58 million cwt of potatoes, 3 percent above the previous year. Shrinkage and loss is estimated at 28.5 million cwt for 2005, down 24 percent from 2004. Potatoes used for livestock feed on farms where grown and home use totaled 1.19 million cwt, 1 percent below the previous season. Growers kept 3.60 million cwt for seed on their own farms, virtually unchanged from a year earlier.
