Also included are first of the month potato stocks (December through June) for the 13 major fall potato producing States. Monthly prices, farm marketings, percent of acreage planted by type, and certified seed acres 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. 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 season according to the period (quarter) when the largest supplies are harvested. The four seasons are as follows: Season Usual Time of Harvest Winter January through March Spring April through June Summer July to Mid-September Fall August 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 harvests. 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. There has been a change to the Potato Annual Summary. Previously, potato objective yield data were published in this release. These data will now be published in the Crop Production report that contains the fall potato forecast. For example, the first forecast for fall potato production for 2008 will be in November's Crop Production. This will also contain the potato objective yield results. The same will apply to December. The 2007 objective yield results are located in the December 2007 Potato Stocks release. 2007 Potato Production Up 1 Percent Potato production in 2007 is revised to 447 million cwt, down 1 percent from the estimate in the January Crop Production 2007 Summary but 1 percent above the 2006 crop. Harvested area, at 1.13 million acres, increased 1 percent from 2006. The average yield of 396 cwt per acre is a record high, up 3 cwt from 2006, which had the previous record high. Starting in 2007, Florida's winter potato production was combined with their spring potatoes. Therefore, winter potatoes refer to only California in 2007. Winter potato production in 2007 is 2.47 million cwt, down 45 percent from 2006. Harvested area, at 11,500 acres, is 35 percent below 2006. The average yield for winter potatoes is 215 cwt per acre, down 42 cwt from 2006. Spring potato final production for 2007 is 19.8 million cwt, slightly above the previous year. Harvested acres, at 70,200 acres, increased 4 percent from 2006. The average yield for spring potatoes of 282 cwt per acre is down 11 cwt from 2006. Summer potato production is 17.0 million cwt for 2007, 6 percent lower than 2006. Harvested area, at 51,200 acres, is down 5 percent from 2006. The average yield of 332 cwt per acre is down 5 cwt from 2006. Fall potato production is finalized at 408 million cwt for 2007, 2 percent above the 2006 crop. Area harvested in 2007 is 996,800 acres, up 1 percent from the previous year. The average yield, at 409 cwt per acre, is a record high, 3 cwt above the previous record high set in 2006. The value of all potatoes sold in 2007, at $3.11 billion, increased 5 percent from the previous year. The average price, at $7.51 per cwt, is up $0.21 from 2006. The quantity of potatoes sold from the 2007 crop totaled 414 million cwt, up 2 percent from 2006. Sales account for 93 percent of 2007 production, up slightly from the previous year. Processors used 278 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2007 crop, up 4 percent from 2006. Table stock sales totaled 112 million cwt, 2 percent below the previous year. Seed sales of 22.3 million cwt are down 6 percent from 2006. Sales for livestock feed, at 1.23 million cwt, decreased 26 percent from a year earlier. Potatoes used for chips and shoestrings totaled 53.6 million cwt in 2007, down 18 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 168 million cwt of raw potatoes, which increased 12 percent from 2006. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 49.5 million cwt, 2 percent above 2006. Canning use, at 3.34 million cwt, is up 16 percent from the previous year. Starch, flour, and other products were made from 4.08 million cwt of potatoes, about 3 times more than in 2006. Shrinkage and loss is estimated at 29.1 million cwt for 2007, 3 percent below 2006. Potatoes used for livestock feed on farms where grown and home use totaled 1.12 million cwt, 9 percent below the previous season. Growers kept 2.99 million cwt for seed on their own farms, 15 percent lower than a year earlier.
