Forage Production
Forage production is the sum of all dry hay production and
haylage/greenchop production after converting the haylage/greenchop
production to a dry equivalent basis (13 percent moisture) by
multiplying the green weight (weight at harvest) by 0.4943. The
conversion factor (0.4943) is based on the assumption that one ton
of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry matter, one ton of haylage is 0.45
ton dry matter and one ton of greenchop is 0.25 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 = ((0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1))/0.87 = 0.4943. The
factors assumed here may vary by State and can be adjusted.
Adjustments would result in a slightly different conversion factor.

2007 U.S. Weather Summary
The year featured crop-killing freezes in California in January and
the Great Plains and Southeast in April, severe drought in the
Southeast and Southwest, heavy rains in the Plains States through
summer, and a hot summer for most of the Nation. Timely rains kept
most of the Corn Belt out of drought during the summer growing
season.
Winter (December 2006 February 2007): December's abnormal warmth
carried over into early January 2007. January 6 represented the
peak of the unseasonable heat in the East, when thermometers
reached more than 70 degrees Fahrenheit as far north as upstate
New York.
On January 11, the weather pattern over North America began a major
change, and frigid Canadian air plunged southward, first across the
western and central States and eventually the East Coast. Several
nights of subfreezing temperatures severely damaged citrus and
other crops in California, as temperatures dipped into the teens.
In the San Joaquin Valley, thermometers dropped to 23 degrees
Fahrenheit at Fresno on January 13 and, farther south, Lancaster
broke daily-record lows on 6 consecutive days from January 14-19,
reaching 3 degrees on the January 14, its lowest January
temperature on record. As the cold air edged eastward, warm air
overrunning set the stage for widespread freezing rain across the
Plains and Mississippi Valley. The ice storm that struck the
Oklahoma and Missouri area left some 400,000 customers without
power on January 12.
The abnormal cold persisted through most of February, resulting in
the coldest February Nationwide since 1994. Chicago saw subzero
temperatures on February 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, with a reading of
10 degrees Fahrenheit on February 5. On February 4, for the first
time in 11 years, daily highs remained below 0 degrees Fahrenheit
in Madison and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The cold air spreading out
over the warmer waters of the Great Lakes triggered huge snowfalls
in upstate New York during February 3-8, Parish measuring a total
of 88 inches. In the West, Denver residents saw snow on the ground
for the 49th consecutive day on February 7, the longest such streak
since 1984.
A major Valentine's Day storm spread large snow totals across the
Midwest and Northeast in mid-February, with 17 inches blanketing
Cleveland on February 12-14, and Burlington, Vermont setting an
all-time record with 25.3 inches on the 14th. An enormous winter
storm system later in the month tracked northeastward from
Colorado, bringing heavy snow to the upper Midwest on February
23-26, including a record 21 inches at La Crosse, Wisconsin.
Spring (March May): Abnormal mild weather returned in March, and
the month ended up with coast-to-coast anomalous warmth. Over 900
high temperature records were established, mostly during the week
of March 11-18, and the contiguous U.S. ranked as the second
mildest March in 113 years. Monthly temperatures averaged
10 degrees above normal in parts of the Plains.
A number of intense low-pressure systems led to snow, flooding, or
severe weather this month. March 1 rainfall, for example, set a
record for the date at 2.38 inches in Asheville, North Carolina.
Grand Forks, North Dakota notched a daily record on March 1, with
9.0 inches of snow. Flooding was widespread early in the month,
with streams over their banks from Iowa to New York. A severe
weather outbreak on March 1 resulted in 31 reports of tornadoes in
the Midwest and Southeast. Flash flooding struck Texas at
mid-month. A Nor'easter on March 16-17 dropped up to 23 inches of
snow in Columbia County in upState New York. A major winter storm
on March 28-29 led to heavy snows in the northern Rockies and
severe weather in the Plains. The resulting blizzard left 6-foot
snowdrifts in Wyoming, and there were over 60 reports of tornadoes
in the Plains. Abilene, Texas, measured 4.28 inches of rain for
the month, its third wettest March on record.
A massive high pressure system plunging southward from Canada
brought record cold during April 7-9 for much of the eastern half
of the country. St. Joseph, Missouri, registered record low
temperatures on April 7, 8, and 9, the latter day seeing readings
plummet to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In Arkansas, North Little Rock
tied its April record low with 30 degrees Fahrenheit on the 7th and
8th. In Tennessee, Nashville's 24 degree reading on the 8th made
this its coldest Easter Sunday since 1940. On the Plains, the
15-degree reading on the 8th in Concordia, Kansas was the city's
latest spring reading of 15 degrees or less. The previous warmth
and subsequent early growth of vegetation made this freeze
especially damaging to field and tree crops, and damage was
widespread from the Plains to the Southeast.
A major Nor'easter hammered the East Coast on April 15, while heavy
rains lashed the Deep South to New England, and unseasonable snows
blanketed northern New England and the higher elevations of upstate
New York. New York City's 7.57 inches of rain on the 15th was its
greatest daily rainfall since 1882.
April also featured outbreaks of severe weather. In the lower
Mississippi Valley, there were 594 reports of large hail and
damaging winds on the 3rd, including 14 tornadoes. Another
outbreak on April 24 saw 197 reports of severe weather from Texas
to Missouri.
Drought became a major concern in the Southeast this spring and
intensified during the summer, eventually reaching a scale of
historic proportions. Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi recorded
the driest February-April in 113 years of record keeping. Georgia
sustained its second driest such period. Florida notched its
second driest April. Farther west, southern California measured
its driest November-April on record.
In contrast, severe weather accompanied by heavy rains struck the
southern and central Plains during the spring. During May 3-7,
severe weather, heavy rains, and flooding affected an area
extending from Texas to Minnesota. An EF5 tornado destroyed the
town of Greensburg in southwest Kansas on May 4. Extensive
flooding continued into May 10, rivers spilling over their banks in
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota,
North Dakota, and Arkansas. The 8.73 inches of rain that inundated
Columbia, South Dakota on May 5-6 established a new State record
for 24-hour rainfall. On May 23, torrential rains of up to
8 inches hit parts of Kansas and the Texas Panhandle.
Summer (June August): Los Angeles ended up with its driest
"rainy season," defined as July 1 to June 30, since records began
in 1877. The weather station downtown mustered a scant 3.21 inches
of rain for the 12 month period. Ample mountain snows in the
preceding winter mitigated the impact of the drought on water
supplies, as most reservoirs maintained enough water to avoid major
water supply problems.
In the Southeast, however, the dry weather and the onset of the
summer heat had a marked impact on reservoirs as well as crops. By
early June, officials declared drought emergencies in 19 counties
in northern and central Alabama. Tropical Storm Barry brought
relief to Florida and Georgia during the first days of June, but
drought persisted and even grew worse over interior areas. Four
States measured their driest January-August in a century: Alabama,
Tennessee, North Carolina, and Florida. Georgia and Mississippi
earned the number two ranking. By early October, the U.S. Drought
Monitor's highest level of drought, D4, extended from Alabama and
western and northern Georgia into Tennessee, eastern Kentucky, and
the Carolinas.
Farther west, flooding problems continued for the southern and
central Plains into summer, Texas recording its wettest
January-August on record. The wetness peaked in June, when low
pressure aloft sat over the southern Plains for some 2 weeks,
leading to episodes of torrential rains. On June 29, flood
warnings stretched from southern Texas all the way to central
Missouri. Flooding continued into early July. Dallas-Ft. Worth
measured its wettest June-July since 1973, with 16.52 inches of
rain.
Heat was one of the biggest stories during the meteorological
summer of 2007 (June-August), which was the sixth-hottest summer on
record, but there were exceptions. Much of Texas stayed below
normal for the summer thanks in part to the moist ground.
Temperatures soared in July across the West and the northern
Plains. Las Vegas, Nevada, endured 116 degrees on July 5. The
reading of 105 degrees at Reno on that day tied their all-time high
temperature. Portland, Oregon, reached 102 degrees on the 10th. In
Boise, Idaho, temperatures hit 100 degrees F every day from July 12
through 17. The monthly average temperature of 83.1 degrees not
only set a record for July, but set a record for the hottest month
ever.
Low rainfall and high temperatures led to expansion of drought into
much of the interior West and heightened wildfire danger. Boise,
Idaho, measured a mere 0.02 inches of rain for the entire month of
July, while temperatures averaged 8 degrees above normal. By late
July, large wildfires were scorching forests across northern
Nevada, eastern Oregon, eastern Washington, Idaho, western Montana,
and Utah. The largest fire in the State's history burned
363,000 acres in south-central Utah.
Heat was even more widespread in August, the second warmest August
in at least 113 years Nationwide. An historic heat wave gripped
the Southeast from around the 6th to the 17th, when triple digit heat
was commonplace. Montgomery, Alabama, for example, notched a
100-degree reading every day from August 6 to 17, the
12 consecutive days of century temperatures easily breaking the
previous record of 7. Although somewhat lower temperatures arrived
later in the month, eight States in the region (West Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama,
Georgia, and Florida) measured their warmest August on record. In
the West, heat persisted as well, with Utah recording its hottest
August.
Tropical weather systems played a role in the southern Plains
wetness. Tropical Storm Erin came ashore in Texas on August 16 and
renewed flooding in Texas. San Antonio recorded 8.81 inches of
rain on the 16th. Over the next few days, the remnants of Erin
dropped up to 10 inches of rain on eastern Oklahoma, causing
flooding there as well.
Across the Midwest, Erin's moisture contributed to torrential rains
over Iowa, southern Minnesota, and southern Wisconsin. During
August 18-19, up to 15.10 inches of rain fell in 24 hours in
southern Minnesota, setting a State record. Heavy rains a few days
later led to significant flooding in the lower Great Lakes region.
Several cities from Minnesota to Illinois ended up with the wettest
month on record, including Madison, Wisconsin, with an August tally
of 15.18 inches.
The upper Midwest, especially Minnesota, had been experiencing
drought before August's heavy rains, due to below-normal rainfall
from May to July. The deluge ended drought in southern Minnesota,
but local drought persisted farther north to year's end.
For the Corn Belt as a whole this summer, drought on occasion crept
northward from the south, affecting areas near the Ohio River, or
touched the northern boundaries, but rains came at the right time
for most farmers, and June-August cumulative rainfall was near to
above normal for most of the region, with overall temperatures
averaging just slightly above normal.
Only one hurricane made landfall in the contiguous U.S. this year.
Humberto exploded in intensity on September 13 in the western Gulf
of Mexico, ascending from depression strength to a Category 1
hurricane in less than 24 hours. The storm brought up to 14 inches
of rain to east-coastal Texas. The storm did bring welcomed rains
to drought-stricken parts of the Southeast, including nearly
2 inches to Birmingham, Alabama.
Autumn (September- November): Drought worsened during early
October in many parts of the East. But a storm system that brought
widespread severe weather from the Gulf Coast to the Midwest
delivered drought-breaking rains of up to 14 inches to northwest
Florida on October 18-19.
Short-term dryness reached extreme levels by October from the
mid-Atlantic into New England. In Washington, DC, October 18 was
the 34th consecutive day without measurable rain, breaking a record
going back over a century. Drought also affected parts of southern
New England. Record heat during the first 10 days of the month
across the northeast quadrant of the Nation added to the drought
problems. A major frontal system that tapped tropical moisture
from the Gulf and Caribbean soaked much of the region during
October 22-27. Baltimore picked up 5.43 inches of rain, and
Washington DC recorded 6.18 inches during October 24-27. In
Tennessee, Nashville measured 4.05 inches on October 22-25.
Although the rain was not enough to end the drought in the
Southeast, it did reduce the area and intensity of the drought.
On the West Coast, a period of Santa Anna winds led to tragedy in
southern California. Winds up to 100 mph during October 21-23
fanned wildfires across southern California. The flames burned
more than 800 square miles and displaced at least 500,000 people.
Parts of Hawaii experienced drought for much of the year until
torrential rains associated with a Kona storm struck the islands,
dropping 7 to 10 inches of rain on much of Oahu during the week
ending November 6. Up to 7 inches of rain fell in 12 hours on
November 3-4.
At the same time, the remains of Hurricane Noel slashed the New
England coast. On November 3, Barnstable in Massachusetts measured
a peak gust of 89 mph. Two to 4 inches of rain drenched Cape Cod.
In the southern Plains, dry weather became a concern for farmers
despite the widespread heavy rains earlier this year. September
rainfall was below normal over large parts of Oklahoma and Texas,
and rainfall was below normal over a large area in October from
western Kansas to Texas, with November continuing the dry pattern
except for the Texas upper coast and southwest. By the end of
November, cumulative rainfall since September totaled less than
40 percent of normal from western Kansas into western and southern
Texas, resulting in low topsoil moisture.
December: The last day of the year featured a steady parade of
storms bringing rain, ice, snow, and wind to much of the Nation.
A major Pacific storm slammed into the Pacific Northwest during the
first days of the month. Up to 10 inches of rain inundated coastal
areas and, during the storm's peak on December 2-3, winds gusted to
100 mph along the Washington and Oregon coasts. Western parts of
Oregon and Washington experienced their worst flooding in over
10 years.
Heavy rains and mountain snows also struck the Southwest during
November 30-December 1, with 3.71 inches of precipitation at
Flagstaff, Arizona, and 2 feet of snow in southwest Utah.
A major winter storm brought widespread ice and snow to the Midwest
on December 1-3, but this was eclipsed by an even larger ice storm
on December 9-10. Freezing rain iced up a large area from Oklahoma
to Kansas and parts of Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
Ice accumulations from 0.25 to more than 1.0 inch caused massive
power outages across the central Plains and paralyzed travel. On
December 11, some 618,000 customers had lost their power in
Oklahoma, making this their worst ice storm on record. Over
200,000 customers in other States also lost power. A wave forming
on the cold front associated with the ice brought heavy snows to
New York and New England on December 13. Up to 12 inches of snow
piled up in Massachusetts, snarling the Boston area commute.
Another large storm system spread snow and sleet from the Midwest
to the Northeast on December 15-16. In the West, heavy rain and
snow eased drought in California during December 18-20. Fresno's
1.64 inches of rain on the 18th made this its wettest day since
January 2, 2006. Still another winter storm dropped widespread
snow across the Plains on December 22-23, and a later storm dropped
several inches of drought-easing moisture on the Southeast during
December 28-30. December 30 was Atlanta's wettest day
(1.30 inches) since September 13. The improved rains this month
prevented Atlanta from recording its driest year, 1954 edging out
2007 for this distinction.
2007 Annual Crop Summary
April: Temperatures averaged near-to-above normal throughout the
West with the exception of the Pacific Northwest. Across the Great
Plains and areas eastward, temperatures averaged below normal.
Other than in the Southeast, Southwest, and Intermountain West,
near-to-above normal precipitation accumulations fell across the
Nation. The cool, wet weather slowed corn planting activities by
month's end, with 23 percent of the intended acreage planted, as
producers were lagging 19 points behind normal. By months end,
producers of oats, spring wheat, rice, soybeans, sugarbeets,
peanuts, and cotton, also faced planting delays. However, barley
and sorghum producers were able to end the month slightly ahead of
the normal planting pace. Meanwhile, winter wheat development was
slowed and varying degrees of damage resulted from an early-April
freeze that stretched from the central and southern Plains into the
Southeast.
May: Above normal temperatures in the West, Corn Belt, Ohio
Valley, and portions of the Great Plains contrasted with below
normal temperatures in the southern Rocky Mountains, southern Great
Plains, the Gulf Coast, and the southern Atlantic Coastal Plains.
Extended showers and thunderstorms caused delays in planting and
other fieldwork in the Great Plains from the eastern Dakotas to
Texas. Emergence and development of summer crops progressed well
under mostly favorable conditions in the Corn Belt and Ohio Valley.
Lack of moisture in the Southeast delayed planting and slowed crop
development.
June: Below-normal temperatures in the central and southern Great
Plains and portions of the Atlantic Coastal Plains and Pacific
Coast contrasted with above-normal temperatures elsewhere. Heavy
precipitation in the Great Plains persisted from southern Kansas
into Texas, delaying fieldwork and causing flooding. The Corn Belt
and the Atlantic Coast received beneficial rains after an early
June drying trend increased stress on pastures and summer crops.
However, unfavorably dry conditions continued across most of the
Southeast. Sorghum, cotton, sunflower, and peanut planting
activities, although nearly complete, lagged slightly behind the
normal pace by mid-month. Extreme dryness in Alabama and Georgia,
and excessive wetness in Oklahoma delayed planting, which also
delayed cotton squaring and boll setting during the month. Heading
of the rice crop was behind normal in all States except Missouri,
with progress in Texas delayed due to excessive rainfall. Winter
wheat harvest lagged well behind normal especially in Kansas,
Oklahoma, and Texas while other small grains developed well ahead
of schedule.
July: Hot, dry conditions persisted in the West and stretched
eastward into the northern Great Plains. The central and southern
Great Plains experienced below-average temperatures and continued
wet conditions contributed to soggy fields, delaying winter wheat
harvest and slowing cotton development. Development and harvest of
other small grains rapidly progressed during the month under mostly
favorable weather. Pockets of unfavorable dryness in the eastern
and western Corn Belt were detrimental to crop conditions.
Beneficial showers in the Southeast slightly alleviated
drought-like conditions and promoted development of cotton,
peanuts, and other summer crops.
August: Across the northern Rockies and Great Basin August
remained hot and dry, with temperatures averaging near normal to
slightly below in the Pacific Northwest. Elsewhere in the West
mostly dry conditions, along with warmer than average temperatures,
led to high irrigation demands. In central regions of the country,
temperatures ranged from cooler than average in central and
southern Texas and the northern Great Plains to much warmer than
average through the central Great Plains. Six inches or more of
rain fell across areas of the northern Corn Belt and Mid-Atlantic
States. Despite early season planting delays, followed by some
early season developmental delays, crop progress was able to reach
or exceed the average pace during the month for all crops except
cotton and peanuts. Winter wheat harvest was nearly complete by
month's end with progress continuing to lag in Kansas, Oklahoma,
and Texas during the month. Barley, oat, and spring wheat harvest
continued ahead of the normal pace in most areas during August.
September: Above normal temperatures prevailed nearly nationwide,
while heavy rainfall accumulations were received in the western
Corn Belt, Delta, southern Great Plains, and Florida. Light to
moderate levels of moisture fell across the rest of the country,
with minimal accumulations in California, the High Plains, and the
northern Atlantic Coastal Plains where drought conditions continued
due to below normal precipitation. Corn and soybean acreage
rapidly matured, advancing ahead of the 5-year average pace and by
month's end harvest of both crops was well underway. Although
corn, rice, and soybean harvest was ahead of normal, sunflower, and
peanut harvest was slightly behind. Sorghum development and
harvest also continued ahead of schedule. Although, cotton acreage
with open bolls was lagging due to the Southeastern drought,
harvest was progressing at the normal pace. Winter wheat planting
was underway by early September with all States, except those in
the Pacific Northwest, behind the average pace early in the month.
Delays continued as the month progressed, especially in the central
and southern Great Plains.
October: Notable October precipitation in the West was limited to
the Pacific Northwest and northwest Wyoming. Abundant
precipitation was also received across most of the eastern half of
the Nation. The exceptions were parts of the Southeast, middle
Mississippi Valley, and western Gulf Coast. In the Pacific
Northwest, Great Basin, and most of California, temperatures during
the month were cooler than average. Throughout the rest of the
Nation, temperatures averaged above normal. Corn and soybean
harvest neared completion by month's end across most of the Corn
Belt which allowed winter wheat planting to rapidly progress.
However, planting progress and emergence continued to lag behind
normal in the Great Plains due to a lack of precipitation. Harvest
was slightly ahead of normal for sorghum, cotton, and rice but
slightly behind for peanuts, sunflowers, and sugarbeets.
November: In the Pacific Northwest, heavy precipitation fell west
of the Cascade Mountains, while other areas west of the Rocky
Mountains experienced light to moderate precipitation. Throughout
the Great Plains, the northwestern Corn Belt, and along the
Atlantic Coastal Plains, precipitation during the month was
extremely light and scattered. In the southern and eastern areas
of the Corn Belt, moderate precipitation was evident while from
east Texas stretching north and east into New England, moderate to
heavy rainfall was experienced during the month. Temperatures
ranged within 4 degrees Fahrenheit of normal for most of the Nation
during November. Producers finished harvesting summer crops by
mid-November in most areas. However, cotton harvest continued at a
rapid pace in Texas, Oklahoma, and parts of the Southeast after
mid-month. Peanut harvest continued behind the normal pace due to
dry conditions in the Southeast. As winter wheat planting was
winding down for all States except Arkansas, California, Missouri,
North Carolina, and Texas by November 11, emergence of the crop
remained behind normal, especially in Oklahoma and Texas where
producers were late getting the crop seeded and rainfall was light.
Corn: U.S. corn for grain production is estimated at a record high
13.1 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the November forecast but
up 24 percent from 2006. The average U.S. grain yield is estimated
at 151.1 bushels per acre, down 1.9 bushels from November but
2.0 bushels above 2006. This is the second highest yield on
record, behind 2004. Regionally, estimated yields are higher than
last year across the Great Plains where frequent rainfall
throughout much of the growing season provided abundant soil
moisture for growth and development. Yield estimates are also
higher in the middle Mississippi Valley, Delta, and Southeast where
timely rains in most areas were beneficial. Yields in the northern
Corn Belt, Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and
Northeast are generally lower than a year ago as scarce
precipitation and above normal temperatures during much of the
growing season depleted soil moisture supplies and stressed the
crop.
Planted area, at 93.6 million acres, is up 19 percent from last
year to the highest level since 1944. Corn planted acreage is up
in nearly all States as favorable corn prices, driven by growing
demand from ethanol producers and strong export sales, encouraged
farmers to plant more acres to corn. The increase in corn planted
acres is partially offset by fewer acres of soybeans in the Corn
Belt and Great Plains and fewer acres of cotton in the Delta and
Southeast. Record high planted acres were set in California,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Area
harvested for grain, at 86.5 million acres, is up 22 percent from
2006 to the highest level since 1933. Illinois growers harvested a
record high 13.1 million acres, up 1.90 million acres from last
year, while farmers in Iowa harvested a record high 13.9 million
acres, up 1.50 million acres from a year ago. Record high corn for
grain acres were also harvested in Idaho, Indiana, Minnesota, North
Dakota, and South Dakota.
The 2007 corn objective yield survey data indicate the highest
number of ears per acre on record for the combined 10 objective
yield States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin), surpassing the
previous record set in 2004. Indicated ears per acre are higher
than 2006 in all objective yield States, with record highs being
set in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin.
Corn silage production is estimated at 106 million tons, up
1 percent from 2006. The U.S. silage yield is estimated at
17.5 tons per acre in 2007, up 1.3 tons from last year. Area
harvested for silage, at 6.07 million acres, is down 6 percent from
a year ago.
Corn planting got off to a slow start as melting snow and above
normal precipitation across much of the Corn Belt and Great Plains
during March and April left many fields too soggy for field
preparations and planting activities. Early-April freezes occurred
from the central and southern Great Plains into the Southeast,
temporarily halting planting progress and causing varying degrees
of damage to emerged corn. By April 29, corn planting was
23 percent complete, 25 percentage points behind a year earlier and
19 points behind normal.
Excessive rainfall in parts of the central and southern Great
Plains, western Corn Belt, and middle Mississippi Valley during
much of May continued to hamper corn planting activities.
Meanwhile, warm, dry conditions prevailed across the central and
eastern Corn Belt and Ohio Valley during May, which promoted
planting activity and crop development. However, the lack of
precipitation in these areas reduced soil moisture supplies and
increased stress on the crop. Despite the weather related delays
in some areas, producers made rapid planting progress during the
month, and by May 27, planting was 97 percent complete,
1 percentage point ahead of 2006 and 4 points ahead of average.
Emergence of the crop began behind normal due to the slow early
season planting pace. However, generally above normal temperatures
favored crop development and by June 10, ninety-nine percent of the
crop had emerged, 2 points ahead of 2006 and 4 points ahead of
normal.
Growing conditions varied considerably by region during the early
to mid-summer months. Showers and thunderstorms continued in the
central and southern Great Plains during much of June and July,
which hampered fieldwork but provided abundant soil moisture.
Farther east, a dry pattern persisted across the eastern Corn Belt,
Ohio Valley, and Tennessee Valley during much of June, further
stressing the corn crop. Much needed rains provided some drought
relief to these areas in late June and early July, however,
moisture shortages continued to be a concern. Unfavorable dryness
also persisted in parts of the northern Corn Belt and Atlantic
Coast States throughout much of July, while in the Southeast,
excessively dry conditions during June were eased somewhat by
beneficial rainfall during July.
Heavy rainfall across the northern Corn Belt and adjacent areas of
the Great Plains during August provided much needed moisture for
the crop. However, the abundant moisture caused some lowland
flooding, particularly across the upper Midwest. Meanwhile,
extremely hot, dry weather across the southern tier of the Corn
Belt, Tennessee Valley, and Mid-Atlantic States during August
continued to deplete soil moisture supplies and deteriorate crop
conditions. Corn fields across the Nation progressed rapidly
during August under warmer than normal conditions, and by September
2, ninety-six percent of the crop had reached the dough stage or
beyond, the same as 2006 but 4 points ahead of normal.
The corn crop continued to progress ahead of the average pace
during September, especially in the Corn Belt where crop
development was well ahead of normal. By mid-month, 96 percent of
the Nation's corn acreage had reached the dent stage or beyond, the
same as 2006 but 6 points ahead of average. By month's end,
91 percent of the crop had reached maturity, 5 points ahead of a
year earlier and 10 points ahead of normal. Corn harvesting began
ahead of schedule and continued without major delays throughout the
month. By September 30, the corn harvest was 31 percent complete,
13 and 11 points ahead of 2006 and average, respectively.
Warm temperatures and mostly dry conditions across much of the
northern and central Great Plains and Corn Belt during the first
two weeks of October aided crop maturation and promoted a
faster-than-normal harvest pace. Several storm systems brought
locally heavy showers to these areas around the middle of the month
which soaked fields and hindered harvest activities. Drier weather
returned in late October, which favored a gradual resumption of
harvest. However, lingering wetness-related disruptions continued
to delay the corn harvest in parts of the eastern Great Plains and
western Corn Belt. Despite the weather delays in some areas, the
overall corn harvest continued to progress ahead of normal
throughout the month, due in part to the early crop maturation. By
October 28, the corn harvest was 73 percent complete, 8 points
ahead of 2006 and 4 points ahead of average. Harvest progress was
ahead of normal in all States except Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota,
Pennsylvania, and South Dakota.
Corn harvest activities neared completion in many areas in early
November, particularly across the central and eastern Corn Belt.
Snow and rain showers were evident in the Great Lakes region,
however, dry weather continued to favor late-season corn harvesting
across the remainder of the Midwest. The corn harvest also
continued with few delays in the Great Plains, despite a transition
to cooler conditions. On November 18, the corn harvest was
97 percent complete, 4 points ahead of 2006 and 3 points ahead of
normal. Harvest progress was at or ahead of normal in all States.
Sorghum: Grain production in 2007 is estimated at
505 million bushels, down 2 percent from the November forecast but
82 percent above 2006. Planted area is estimated at 7.72 million
acres, up 18 percent from last year. Area harvested for grain, at
6.81 million acres, is up 38 percent from 2006. Average grain
yield, at 74.2 bushels per acre, is down 2.6 bushels from the
previous forecast but up 18 bushels from last year.
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 increased from last year in 16 of the
21 estimating States, with Texas showing the largest increase at
88 percent above 2006 while Kansas increased 6 percent. Yields are
at or above last year in all States, except California, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Tennessee with substantial
increases experienced throughout the Great Plains. The yield in
the two largest producing States of Kansas and Texas increased 22
and 18 bushels per acre, respectively, from 2006.
Silage production is estimated at 6.21 million tons, up 34 percent
from 2006. Area cut for silage is 399,000 acres, up 15 percent
from the previous year. Silage acres increased or remained
unchanged from 2006 in all States except Oklahoma and South
Carolina. Silage yields averaged 15.6 tons per acre, up 2.2 tons
per acre from last year. In the two largest producing States of
Kansas and Texas, producers experienced substantial yield and
production increases. Record yields were set in Texas and Arkansas
and tied the record yield in Kansas and Nebraska.
Planting began at a fast pace but wet weather in May delayed
planting in some areas and adequate to abundant precipitation
throughout the major producing States aided the crop development
and condition considerably compared with the previous year. Warm
dry weather conditions promoted maturation and allowed for early
harvest of sorghum. By October 21, ninety-four percent of the
acreage was at or beyond maturity and 62 percent was harvested,
both 11 and 9 points ahead of last year and normal, respectively.
Harvest continued ahead of normal in most States with 97 percent of
the crop harvested by November 18.
Oats: The 2007 production is estimated at a record low
91.6 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grain 2007 Summary
but down 2 percent from last year. The estimated yield is
60.9 bushels per acre, up 1.1 bushels from the previous year. Area
planted to oats is estimated at a record low 3.76 million acres,
down 10 percent from 2006. Harvested area, at 1.51 million acres,
is 4 percent below last year. This is the smallest acreage
harvested for grain on record, continuing a steady downward trend.
The largest decline occurred in Wisconsin, where area harvested for
grain decreased 70,000 acres from last year.
Compared with last year, yields increased in most States throughout
the Great Plains and central Rocky Mountains. In Nebraska, North
Dakota, and South Dakota, favorable growing conditions led to yield
increases from last year of 17 bushels or more. Yields declined
from last year in the Pacific Northwest, the Ohio Valley and
adjacent areas, and the middle Mississippi Valley. The largest
declines in yield occurred in Indiana and Washington, where hot,
dry weather hampered crop development. Yields in Indiana and
Washington declined 25 bushels from 2006.
During early spring, planting of the oat crop lagged behind the
normal pace. By April 29, growers had planted 62 percent of their
acreage, 11 points behind normal. During April, emergence also
trailed behind the normal pace. By the end of April, emergence was
35 percent complete, 12 points behind the 5-year average and
13 points behind last year. However, by mid-May, the oat crop had
advanced to 98 percent planted, 3 points ahead of normal, with all
major producing States at or ahead of their normal planting pace
with the exception of South Dakota.
Through June, crop development was at or ahead of normal in all
major oat-producing States. As of July 1, eighty-nine percent of
the oat acreage was headed, 9 points ahead of the 5-year average.
The crop was most advanced in Texas and Ohio, where 100 percent and
99 percent, respectively, was at or beyond the heading stage.
Progress was ahead of the normal pace in all major producing States
except Nebraska.
By the end of July, 51 percent of the oat acreage was harvested,
the same as last year but 9 points ahead of the normal pace. Texas
was nearly complete at 96 percent harvested with progress in
Nebraska following closely behind at 88 percent. In North Dakota,
only 10 percent of the oat crop was harvested, which was only
1 point behind normal but was 25 points behind last year's pace.
By August 26, harvest was 98 percent complete in the major
producing States, 5 points ahead of normal.
Barley: Production is estimated at 212 million bushels, unchanged
from the Small Grains 2007 Summary but up 18 percent from last
year. Average yield per acre, at 60.4 bushels, is 0.7 bushel below
2006. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 3.51 million
acres, 19 percent above a year ago. Harvested acreage is up in the
top four barley-producing States from the previous season. Acreage
harvested is up 40,000 in Idaho, 100,000 in Montana, 395,000 in
North Dakota, and 35,000 in Washington resulting in higher
production that last year. Production is down from last year
throughout the Great Basin, Ohio Valley, and most of the
Mid-Atlantic States. Lower yields due to low levels of
precipitation during the growing season and lower acreage harvested
contributed to the decrease in these areas. However, production
levels increased from last year across nearly the entire northern
tier of the country, from the Pacific to Maine, as well as in
Arizona, Colorado, and Maryland.
Planting was delayed early in the season in Minnesota, North
Dakota, and Washington, three major producing States, causing
emergence to lag behind normal through the first week of May.
However, progress accelerated to well ahead of normal later in the
Spring and into early Summer. Heading advanced well ahead of
normal for most of the season. The condition of the crop was rated
between 70 and 80 percent good and excellent through most of the
season but began to decline just before harvest started. Beginning
harvest slightly ahead of schedule, producers were able to continue
harvesting the crop well ahead of the normal pace and finish by
early September.
All Wheat: production totals 2.07 billion bushels in 2007, unchanged
from the Small Grains 2007 Summary but up 14 percent from 2006.
Grain area is 51.0 million acres, up 9 percent from last year. The
U.S. yield is 40.5 bushels per acre, up 1.8 bushels from last year.
The level of production and change from last year by type are:
winter wheat, 1.52 billion bushels, up 17 percent; other spring
wheat, 479 million bushels, up 4 percent; Durum wheat, 71.7 million
bushels, up 34 percent.
Winter Wheat: The 2007 winter wheat production is estimated at
1.52 billion bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2007 Summary
but up 17 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 42.2 bushels
per acre, up 0.5 bushel from last year's final yield. Area
harvested for grain is estimated at 36.0 million acres, up
16 percent from the previous year. Hard Red Winter harvested
acreage is up about 21 percent from the previous year while Soft
Red Winter harvested acreage is up about 15 percent.
Hard Red Winter (HRW) harvested acreage is up significantly from
last year mostly due to improved moisture conditions in the Great
Plains States. Rains that broke last year's drought persisted
throughout much of the growing season. Kansas was the only State
in the region that did not increase harvested acres from 2006.
Rains throughout June caused flooding and delayed harvest in
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. In Texas, wheat production was up
418 percent from last year's drought stricken crop. Overall, Texas
experienced very little crop failure due to the above normal
precipitation and below normal temperatures this year, except in
the eastern wheat producing regions where some acres were destroyed
due to flooding. Oklahoma's production is up 20 percent from 2006.
The season began under ideal conditions but an Easter freeze and an
unprecedented 17 straight days of rain during June took a toll on
the crop's quality. The rains came as operators were beginning
harvest and caused many fields to be completely abandoned.
Overall, HRW production totals 962 million bushels, up 41 percent
from last year's 682 million bushels.
Favorable conditions during the Fall resulted in more acreage
planted to wheat across most of the Soft Red Winter (SRW) growing
region, except the eastern Corn Belt where wet conditions limited
plantings. This is the second straight year of larger planted area
in the southern SRW growing areas with harvested area also
increasing sharply. Several of the northern SRW States' harvested
area is down mainly due to smaller planted acreage along with an
early April freeze that caused more abandonment than normal. In
Wisconsin, harvested acreage is a record surpassing last year's
level. Production of SRW is down from last year when record high
yields were realized in many States. Weather played a major role
in this year's production with yields in most States coming in at
more normal levels. The crop's yield potential was good early in
the growing season until the April freeze damaged the crop and
caused conditions in many of the SRW States to decline. Overall,
SRW production is 358 million bushels, down 8 percent from last
year when 390 million bushels were produced.
White Winter production is 197 million bushels, down 13 percent
from last year. Harvested acreage in the Pacific Northwest States
(Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) are at or below last year's level.
In Idaho and Washington, yields are down from last year due to a
lack of rain and unseasonably high temperatures during the growing
season. Even though the Oregon crop faced dry weather in May and
June, conditions improved and yields ended up better than a year
ago.
Other Spring Wheat: Production for 2007 is estimated at
479 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2007 Summary
but up 4 percent from last year. Harvested area is 12.9 million
acres, down 7 percent from 2006. The U.S. yield is 37.0 bushels
per acre, up 3.8 bushels from last year.
Spring wheat planting in the six major producing States started off
behind normal mostly due to colder than normal temperatures in
April. However, planting had progressed ahead of normal by the end
of May due to warm and dry weather across much of the growing area.
The crop's development and maturation was accelerated by warm
temperatures and timely rains during June. Hot and dry weather
during July 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. The yield potential of the crop was
also limited by this hot and dry weather. Yields are at or above
last year's level in all States except Colorado, Idaho, and
Washington. Yields in North Dakota and South Dakota are up 5 and
9 bushels, respectively, from last year's drought stressed crop.
Durum Wheat: Production for 2007 totals 71.7 million bushels,
unchanged from the Small Grains 2007 Summary but up 34 percent from
the previous year. Grain area harvested is 2.11 million acres, up
16 percent from the previous year. The U.S. yield is estimated at
33.9 bushels per acre, up 4.4 bushels from 2006. In the northern
Great Plains, warm weather during the months of June and July
accelerated crop development and timely rains increased the yield
from last year. Yields are at or above last year's level in all
States except Idaho and California.
Rice: Production in 2007 is estimated at 197 million cwt, down
less than 1 percent from the November forecast but up 2 percent
from last year's crop. Planted area, at 2.76 million acres, is
down 3 percent from 2006. Area for harvest, at 2.75 million acres,
is also down 3 percent from last year. The average yield for all
U.S. rice is estimated at a record high 7,185 pounds per acre,
317 pounds above the 2006 yield and 197 pounds higher than the
previous record of 6,988 pounds set in 2004.
Planted and harvested area are up from last year in California and
Louisiana, while Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas acreage declined.
Mississippi acreage was unchanged from 2006. Record high yields
were attained in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Missouri.
The record yields resulted from good weather conditions during the
growing season and little weed and insect pressure.
Long grain rice yielded 6,929 pounds per acre across the Nation
with production at 142 million cwt. Medium grain rice yielded
8,124 pounds per acre in 2007 with production at 51.2 million cwt.
Short grain rice yielded 6,197 pounds per acre with production at
4.09 million cwt.
Rye: Production for 2007 is estimated at 7.91 million bushels,
unchanged from the Small Grains 2007 Summary but up 10 percent from
last year. Harvested area totals 289,000 acres, up 15,000 acres
from 2006. The U.S. yield, at 27.4 bushels per acre, is up
1.1 bushels from last year. Oklahoma leads the Nation in
production with 1.08 million bushels produced in 2007. Good
moisture conditions in the State contributed to the higher yield
and production level compared with the drought stricken 2006 crop.
Proso Millet: Production of proso millet for 2007 is estimated at
16.6 million bushels, up 63 percent from 2006 and 22 percent higher
than 2005. Planted area, at 570,000 acres, is down 2 percent from
2006 while harvested area, at 515,000 acres, is up 8 percent.
Harvested area and yield increased from last year in all three
States in the estimating program (Colorado, Nebraska, and South
Dakota). The average yield is estimated at 32.3 bushels per acre,
up 10.8 bushels from last year. This is the highest proso millet
yield since the 33.2 bushel yield in 2001.
All Hay: Production of dry hay for 2007 is estimated at
150 million tons, up 2 percent from the October 1 forecast and up
6 percent from the 2006 total. Area harvested, at 61.6 million
acres, is down slightly from the October forecast but up 1 percent
from 2006. The average yield, at 2.44 tons per acre, is up
0.05 ton from October and up 0.10 ton from the previous year.
Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Hay production in 2007 is estimated
at 72.6 million tons, up slightly from the October 1 forecast and
less than 1 percent above 2006. Harvested area, at 21.7 million
acres, is 1 percent above the October forecast and the previous
year. The average yield is 3.35 tons per acre, 0.02 ton below the
previous forecast and 0.01 ton below 2006.
Compared with 2006, States in the northern Great Plains showed the
largest increase in harvested acreage from last year. South Dakota
growers harvested 450,000 acres more than last year, North Dakota
growers harvested 200,000 acres more while Montana farmers
harvested 100,000 acres more. Minnesota showed the largest
decrease, down 200,000 acres from last year, while California
decreased 110,000 acres. Yields are down in Great Lakes, Ohio
Valley, and Tennessee Valley regions but yields are up in the
northern and southern Great Plains.
All Other Hay: Production in 2007 totaled 77.7 million tons, up
3 percent from the October 1 forecast and up 11 percent from 2006.
Area for harvest, at 40.0 million acres, is down 1 percent from
October but 1 percent above last year. The average yield is
estimated at 1.95 tons per acre, up 0.08 ton from October and up
0.17 ton from last year.
Nearly all States west of the Mississippi experienced higher yields
or unchanged yields from the previous year except Arizona and
Minnesota which are down 0.1 ton and 0.2 ton per acre respectively.
Texas and Oklahoma recorded the largest yield increases of 1.2 and
1.0 ton per acre, respectively. Nearly all States east of the
Mississippi River experienced lower yields than last year with
yields in North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania all
down 0.9 ton and yields in Illinois and Indiana down 0.5 ton per
acre. States with a 100,000 acres or more increase in harvested
area from last year, are South Dakota, Texas, Kentucky, Montana,
Arkansas, and Virginia, while States having fewer harvested acres
were led by New York, off 210,000; North Dakota, down 140,000; and
Wisconsin, down 120,000 acres.
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 2007 all haylage and greenchop production for the 18 States
in the forage program is 29.2 million tons, of which 20.9 million
tons are from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. Wisconsin, the leading
haylage and greenchop producing State, harvested 1.45 million acres
of all haylage and greenchop in 2007, of which 1.35 million were
alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. All 2007 haylage and greenchop
acreage in Wisconsin is 6 percent below the previous year. The
18 State total forage area harvested is 37.4 million acres,
including 16.0 million acres from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures.
The total forage harvested area is slightly lower than 2006 but the
total forage production is up 6 percent from the last year.
New Seedings of Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Growers seeded
2.83 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during 2007,
down 11 percent from the 2006 seeded area of 3.18 million acres.
The largest decrease occurred in Wisconsin, down 130,000 acres from
2006. 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 2007 is estimated at
3.74 billion pounds, up 8 percent from the November 1 forecast and
2006. Planted area, at 1.23 million acres, is down 1 percent from
2006 and represents the lowest planted acreage in the U.S. since
1915. Area for harvest is estimated at 1.20 million acres, down
1 percent from last year and the lowest since 1930. The U.S. yield
is estimated at 3,130 pounds per acre, 217 pounds above the
November forecast and up 267 pounds from 2006.
Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
Mississippi, and South Carolina) totals 2.60 billion pounds, up
3 percent from 2006. Area planted in the region totals
898,000 acres, down 6 percent from 2006. Harvested area, at
870,000 acres, is also down 6 percent from the previous year. The
average yield in the Southeast region is 2,989 pounds per acre,
279 pounds above the 2006 average. All States in the region
reported higher average yields in 2007 compared with 2006.
Mississippi's yield of 3,300 pounds per acre represents a new
record high. Much of the region experienced good yields despite
drought conditions through most of the year. The good yields were
attributed to very timely and beneficial rainfall, or very active
irrigation.
Virginia-North Carolina production is estimated at 309 million
pounds, down 4 percent from 2006. Planted area, at 114,000 acres,
is up 12 percent from 2006. Harvested area, at 111,000 acres, is
up 10 percent from 2006. The average yield in the Virginia-North
Carolina region is estimated at 2,781 pounds per acre, down
419 pounds from 2006.
Southwest peanut production (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas), at
831 million pounds, is up 34 percent from the previous year. Area
planted in the region, at 218,000 acres, is up 15 percent from
2006, while harvested area, at 214,000 acres, is up 20 percent from
2006. Yields in the region averaged 3,885 pounds per acre,
418 pounds above 2006. Record high yields were attained in both
Oklahoma and Texas.
Canola: Production in 2007 is 1.45 billion pounds, up 4 percent
from 2006 but down 3 percent from the October forecast. The yield,
at 1,250 pounds per acre, is down 116 pounds from last year's yield
and down 62 pounds from October. Planted area is estimated at
1.18 million acres, 13 percent above last year's acreage.
Harvested area, at 1.16 million acres, is up 14 percent from 2006.
Production in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is
estimated at 1.33 billion pounds, up 4 percent from last year due
to a 14 percent increase in harvested acreage.
Sunflower: The 2007 sunflower production totals 2.89 billion
pounds, up 35 percent from 2006 but down 28 percent from 2005. The
U.S. average yield per acre increased 226 pounds from last year to
1,437 pounds. Planted area, at 2.07 million acres, is 6 percent
above last year but 24 percent below 2005. Area harvested
increased 14 percent from last year to 2.01 million acres.
Production in North Dakota, the leading sunflower-producing State,
is estimated at 1.49 billion pounds, up 34 percent from 2006. The
yield in North Dakota, at 1,414 pounds per acre, is up 118 pounds
from 2006. Compared with last year, planted and harvested area in
North Dakota increased by 19 and 23 percent, respectively. Yields,
compared with last year, are up in all major sunflower-producing
States except Minnesota. The yield in Minnesota, at 1,508 pounds
per acre, is down 248 pounds from last year's yield of 1,756 pounds
per acre, which was the second highest yield on record.
U.S. production of oil-type sunflower varieties, at 2.50 billion
pounds, increased 40 percent from 2006. Harvested acres are up
13 percent from the previous year and the yield increased by
273 pounds to 1,454 pounds per acre. A record high yield for oil
type sunflower varieties in Texas was set at 1,700 pounds per acre.
Production of non-oil sunflower varieties, at 392 million pounds,
increased 10 percent from last year. Area harvested, at
292,500 acres, is up 14 percent from 2006. The average yield
decreased by 50 pounds from last year to 1,339 pounds per acre.
The record high yield for non-oil sunflower varieties was tied in
South Dakota, at 1,700 pounds per acre.
As harvest of sunflowers began in late September, progress in
Colorado was well ahead of normal but lagged behind normal in
Kansas and South Dakota. As of September 30, harvest was already
39 percent complete in Colorado, compared with the 5-year average
of 12 percent. Meanwhile, Kansas and South Dakota were 9 and
7 points behind normal, respectively. Through October, harvest in
the four major producing States progressed behind last year and the
5-year average as periods of heavy rain during the month slowed
harvest. By October 28, harvest was 50 percent complete, compared
with 64 percent last year and the 5-year average of 58 percent. By
November 18, conditions had improved and harvest progressed to
96 percent complete.
Soybeans: Production in 2007 totals 2.59 billion bushels, down
slightly from the November forecast and 19 percent below the record
high production of 2006. The average yield per acre is estimated
at 41.2 bushels, 0.1 bushel below the November forecast and
1.5 bushels below last year's yield. Planted area for the Nation,
at 63.6 million acres, is down 16 percent from 2006. Soybean
growers harvested 62.8 million acres, also down 16 percent from
last year but up fractionally from November.
Yields are down from last year across most of the eastern and
northern Corn Belt, most of the Atlantic Coast States, and
Tennessee. The biggest declines from last year occurred in
Kentucky and Tennessee, down 18 and 21 bushels from 2006,
respectively, as hot summer weather combined with very little rain
to limit soybean yields. Meanwhile, yields are up from last year
across the Great Plains, the Delta States, Alabama, Georgia, Iowa,
and Pennsylvania. The largest increases from last year are in
Mississippi and Texas, where yields increased 14 and 13 bushels,
respectively, as timely rains during the season produced new record
high yields for both States. Record high yields were also set in
Louisiana and South Dakota, and record high yields were tied in
Nebraska and Ohio.
The 2007 soybean objective yield survey data indicate that final
average pod counts were higher than last year in eight of the
eleven objective yield program States. Pod counts were lower than
last year in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri.
Planting of the 2007 soybean crop started off slowly in most of the
major growing areas as wet, cool weather slowed progress and many
farmers were focusing their efforts on planting corn. By the end
of April, nearly all States were at or behind of the normal pace.
Heavy spring rains across the Great Plains and western Corn Belt
during the first week of May further hindered planting efforts with
only 10 percent of the intended acreage planted nationally by
May 6. However, as fields dried and corn planting finished,
producers concentrated on soybeans and planting progressed rapidly
during the rest of May. As of June 3, eighty-eight percent of
intended soybeans were planted, with only Iowa, Kansas, Missouri,
Nebraska, and South Dakota continuing to lag behind normal. The
crop began emerging slightly behind normal in mid-May, but advanced
rapidly thereafter, reaching 70 percent emerged by June 3, fourteen
points ahead of the 5-year average.
During June, soybean planting continued to progress ahead of the
normal pace in most areas and was completed at or ahead of normal
pace in all States except for Kansas and North Dakota. In general,
the U.S. crop progressed rapidly during June and July, with plant
emergence and blooming ahead of normal in most States. The main
exception was in Kansas, where blooming progressed behind normal
during the entire month of July as excessive rain slowed
development. By July 29, eighty-five percent of the Nation's crop
was blooming, 1 percentage point behind last year but 4 percentage
points ahead of the 5-year average. Fifty-one percent of the
acreage was setting pods by July 29, compared with last year's
50 percent and the 5-year average of 41 percent.
Although the hot weather during July caused the crop to mature
rapidly, it had a negative impact on the condition of the soybean
crop. As of July 1, sixty-eight percent of the soybean crop was
rated good to excellent. By the end of July, only 58 percent of
the crop was rated as good to excellent. Hot temperatures during
July caused crop conditions to deteriorate across much of the
northern and western Corn Belt. During July, good to excellent
ratings decreased in Michigan and Minnesota by 34 and 35 points,
respectively, and decreased by more than 10 points in Iowa,
Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, dry conditions
prevailed across much of the Southeast during July. In North
Carolina, good to excellent ratings decreased by 12 points during
the month to 39 percent, compared with 61 percent at the same time
last year.
During August, conditions continued to decline across most of the
Southeast, southern Corn Belt, Delta, and Tennessee Valley as hot
temperatures for much of the month stressed the crop. As of
September 2, fifty-six percent of the U.S. soybean crop was rated
good to excellent, 3 points below the same week in 2006. The
largest decline during the month was seen in Kentucky, where only
16 percent of the crop was rated good to excellent as of
September 2, a decline of 53 points during August. In contrast,
conditions did improve slightly during August across the northern
Great Plains, the northern Corn Belt, and Ohio as needed rains fell
in those areas. However, there were instances of flooding from
heavy rains at times in these areas. The crop set pods on pace
with last year but ahead of the 5-year average throughout the
month, reaching 96 percent by August 26.
Nationally, the soybean crop continued to mature ahead of normal
during September, as plants dropped leaves at a pace ahead of last
year and the 5-year average. As of September 30, eighty-eight
percent of the crop was dropping leaves or beyond, 3 points ahead
of last year and 4 points ahead of normal. Crop conditions
generally improved or remained unchanged during September in the
Corn Belt and the central Great Plains. Besides the Dakotas and
Louisiana, the only other State to show a decline in crop
conditions during the month was North Carolina, which continued to
be affected by drought conditions along with most of the Southeast.
As of September 30, twenty-nine percent of the crop was harvested,
11 points ahead of last year's pace and 5 points ahead of the
5-year average. However, harvest had slowed to a more normal pace
by mid-October as heavy rains across the Great Plains and into the
western Corn Belt slowed harvest around the middle of the month.
As of October 14, harvest was 66 percent complete, equal to last
year but only 1 point ahead of normal. By the end of October,
harvest lagged behind normal in Iowa, the Great Plains, and the
Great Lakes region, but was at or ahead of the normal pace across
the remainder of the country. By November 11, conditions had
allowed harvest to progress to 97 percent complete, 3 points ahead
of last year and the 5-year average.
Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2007 totaled 5.90 million
bushels, down 46 percent from last year and 70 percent below 2005.
The average yield is estimated at 16.9 bushels per acre, up
2.5 bushels from 2006. Planted area for the 2007 crop is estimated
at 354,000 acres, down 56 percent from last year. Planted acreage
is down significantly in all four States in the estimating program
(Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota) as favorable
prices for other crops discouraged some producers from planting
flaxseed. Harvested area, at 349,000 acres, is down 54 percent
from 2006.
In North Dakota, the leading flaxseed State, production totaled
5.55 million bushels, down 46 percent from 2006. Growers harvested
317,000 acres of flaxseed in 2007, down 56 percent from last year
to the lowest level since 1998. The average yield in North Dakota
is estimated at 17.5 bushels per acre, up 3.0 bushels from last
year.
Safflower: Production of safflower in 2007, at 209 million pounds,
is up 6 percent from the revised 2006 production. Growers planted
180,000 acres in 2007, a decrease of 5 percent from last year,
while harvested area, at 172,000 acres, is down 4 percent from the
previous year. The yield, at 1,215 pounds per acre, increased
115 pounds from 2006. California producers led the Nation,
producing 114 million pounds of safflower.
Other Oilseeds: Mustard seed production in 2007 increased
13 percent from last year to 31.8 million pounds, the first time
since 2002 that production increased compared with the previous
year. Planted area, at 56,000 acres, is up 38 percent and
harvested area, at 52,800 acres, is up 35 percent from 2006.
Yields averaged 603 pounds per acre, 117 pounds below a year ago.
Rapeseed production increased as well, up 18 percent from 2006 to
1.30 million pounds. Despite the increase, production is the third
smallest since records began in 1991. Growers planted 1,500 acres
of rapeseed in 2007, an increase of 100 acres from last year.
Harvested area, at 1,000 acres, is unchanged from last year. The
average yield is 1,300 pounds per acre, up 200 pounds from last
year.
Cotton: Upland cotton production is estimated at 18.2 million
480-pound bales, up slightly from the December 1 forecast but down
13 percent from last year. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is
estimated at 857 pounds per acre, up 7 pounds from last month and
up 51 pounds from last year's yield. The yield will be the largest
on record, surpassing the previous record high of 843 pounds per
acre set in 2004. Harvested area, at 10.2 million acres, is down
less than 1 percent from last month and 18 percent below last year.
Upland planted area, estimated at 10.5 million acres, is 30 percent
below last year.
In the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, and Virginia), producers battled extreme drought
conditions during the early summer. By late June, planting was
complete in the region. Drought conditions continued to plague
producers throughout the fall causing the crop to develop ahead of
normal in most areas. By the end of September, harvest was ahead
of normal throughout the region except in Georgia, where harvest
lagged behind throughout the season. Harvest was complete in the
region by early December. Objective yield measurements in Georgia
show boll counts to be the third largest in the last 5 years.
Upland growers in the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee) finished planting in late
May. The cotton crop in the Delta States matured rapidly during
the late summer and early fall due to the continual hot, dry
weather. In September, harvest got underway but by the middle of
the month, Louisiana and Mississippi producers were hit with
several weeks of rainy weather which delayed harvest. In Missouri
and Tennessee, favorable fall weather and an advanced crop allowed
harvest to be completed by the middle of November, well ahead of
normal. The objective yield data show Louisiana and Arkansas boll
counts to be the highest on record. In Louisiana, producers expect
a record yield, surpassing the previous record set in 2003. In
Mississippi, boll counts and boll weights are slightly lower than
the 5-year average.
Southwest (Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) producers
battled wet, cool conditions which delayed planting of upland
cotton. The later planted crop and the abnormally wet, cool summer
caused crop development to lag behind normal. During the early
fall months, hot weather and timely rains helped promote crop
development in the region. By mid-September, after a delay from
the excessive rains during the summer, harvest was finally in full
swing in South Texas. In the High Plains of Texas, Oklahoma, and
Kansas, harvest got underway in October where ideal weather allowed
harvest to advance rapidly. Oklahoma producers expect a record
high yield, surpassing the record set in 2004. Data from the
objective yield survey shows Texas bolls per acre to be the largest
on record and boll weights to be second heaviest on record. Texas
producers expect a record high yield, surpassing the record set in
2005.
California and Arizona upland producers completed planting by early
June. Ideal weather throughout the summer and fall months allowed
the crop to develop ahead of normal. In Arizona, harvest got
underway by the first of the September, slightly ahead of normal.
In the San Joaquin Valley, harvest was in full swing by the middle
of October. By the end of November, harvest was complete in
California. Data from the objective yield survey show California
boll weights to be largest on record. California producers expect
a record high yield, surpassing the previous record set in 2004.
American-Pima producers planted 292,300 acres, down 10 percent from
last year. Harvested area, at 288,200 acres, is down 1l percent
from last year. Production is estimated at a record high
825,000 bales (480-pound), up 8 percent from last year but down
1 percent from December. The U.S. yield is estimated at
1,374 pounds per acre, down 7 pounds from December but up
238 pounds from last year. California producers are expecting a
record high production of 760,000 bales with a yield of
1,419 pounds, the second highest yield on record. The crop
progressed normally throughout the summer and fall with excellent
cotton growing weather. Harvest was complete by the end of
November.
All cotton ginnings totaled 15,715,650 running bales prior to
January 1, compared with 19,211,850 running bales prior to the same
date last year and 20,107,550 running bales ginned prior to January
1, 2005.
Cottonseed: Production for 2007, based on a 3-year average
lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 6.60 million tons, down
10 percent from last year.
Tobacco: U.S. production in 2007 totaled 779 million pounds, up
10 percent from the October forecast and 7 percent above 2006.
Growers harvested 356,000 acres in 2007, less than 1 percent above
the previous forecast and up 5 percent from last year. Yield per
acre averaged 2,187 pounds, a 187 pound increase from the October
forecast and 41 pounds above 2006.
Flue-cured production is estimated at 503 million pounds,
10 percent above the October 1 forecast and 13 percent above last
year. Harvested acres totaled 223,000, down 1 percent from the
previous forecast but 5 percent above 2006. Flue-cured yields
averaged 2,257 pounds, an increase of 233 pounds from the October
forecast and 159 pounds above a year ago. Despite drought like
conditions in the south, flue-cured tobacco faired better than
growers originally expected. Yields increased from a year ago in
all flue-cured States, except Virginia.
Burley production totaled 207 million pounds in 2007, up 8 percent
from the October 1 forecast but 5 percent below a year ago.
Growers harvested 106,300 acres in 2007, up 1 percent from the
previous forecast and 3 percent above 2006. Yield per acre
averaged 1,945 pounds, up 119 pounds from the October 1 forecast
but 150 pounds below last year. Yields decreased from a year ago
in all burley States except Ohio and Pennsylvania. Hot, dry
weather in the south limited tobacco growth and resulted in poor
curing conditions. However, many producers found they had a better
crop than originally expected.
Sugarbeets: Production for 2007 is estimated 31.9 million tons,
6 percent below the 2006 estimate but 1 percent above the November
forecast. Estimated yield, at 25.6 tons per acre, is 0.5 ton lower
than last year's record high yield and 0.2 ton below November.
Growers harvested 1.25 million acres, 4 percent below last year.
Area planted, at 1.27 million acres, is 7 percent below the 2006
estimate.
Growers in Colorado, Idaho, and Washington saw record high yields
in 2007 with yields up from last year in all States except
Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota. Production in all States
except Washington decreased from 2006. The lower production
resulted from fewer acres being planted and harvested except in
Minnesota and North Dakota where lower yields caused the decline in
production from last year.
Sugarbeet planting started out with delays, except in Idaho, where
on April 15, producers were 21 points ahead of the normal planting
pace. As the season progressed, planting in North Dakota advanced
rapidly and was ahead of normal by the end of April. However,
planting progress in Michigan and Minnesota continued to lag behind
the normal pace. Harvest was underway in all States by September
23, and was progressing slightly ahead of the normal pace. By
November 4, ninety-five percent of the acreage was harvested,
3 points ahead of last year and slightly ahead of the normal pace.
Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2007 is
forecast at 30.8 million tons, of which 29.1 million tons are
expected to be for sugar and 1.73 million tons are for seed.
Production of cane for sugar and seed is up 1 percent from the
December forecast and 4 percent above 2006 production. Sugarcane
growers intend to harvest 883,500 acres for sugar and seed during
the 2007 crop year, 2 percent less than last year. If realized,
this will be the lowest area harvested for sugar and seed since
1990. Yield is forecast at 34.9 tons per acre, up 0.5 ton from
December and up 2.0 tons from last year.
Expected harvested area is down from last year in Florida and
Louisiana but up in Hawaii and Texas. Yields are up from last year
in all States except Texas. Florida weather has remained dry in
the sandland sugarcane growing area around Hendry County, allowing
harvest of the sugarcane crop to progress normally. The absence of
major weather events in 2007 helped harvest run smoothly in
Louisiana. Louisiana farmers are expecting the second highest
yield on record behind 1999 when the State set a record yield of
32.7 net tons per acre. Texas sugarcane harvest began in early
October after being delayed due to unseasonably wet conditions
during the summer.
Dry Beans: U.S. dry edible bean production is estimated at
25.4 million cwt for 2007, up less than 1 percent from the December
forecast and 5 percent above last year. Harvested area is
estimated at 1.48 million acres, virtually unchanged from the
December forecast but 4 percent below the 2006 crop. The average
U.S. yield is estimated at 1,716 pounds per acre, an increase of
8 pounds from the last forecast and 139 pounds above a year ago.
Production increased from a year ago for large lima, baby lima,
pinto, light red kidney, and black. Production decreased from last
year for navy, great northern, small white, dark red kidney, pink,
small red, cranberry, blackeye, and all chickpeas.
Production in North Dakota is estimated at 10.6 million cwt,
38 percent above 2006. Harvested acres increased 4 percent, while
the average yield, at 1,590 pounds per acre, is up 390 pounds from
last year. Harvest was essentially complete by the end of October,
slightly behind last year and the 5-year average. Production in
Minnesota, at 2.61 million cwt of dry beans, is 17 percent more
than last year. The average yield, at 1,800 pounds per acre, is up
150 pounds from the previous year. Minnesota dry bean growers
experienced good growing conditions throughout the season.
California growers produced 1.21 million cwt, up less than
1 percent from last year. The average yield, at 2,090 pounds per
acre, is up 230 pounds from 2006. Washington production is
estimated at 1.02 million cwt, up 5 percent from 2006. The average
yield, at 1,700 pounds per acre, is up 100 pounds from last year.
Growers experienced good growing conditions throughout the season.
In Michigan, production is estimated at 3.12 million cwt,
24 percent below last year. Harvested area, at 195,000 acres, is
9 percent below 2006, while yield of 1,600 pounds per acre is down
300 pounds from last season. Dry conditions from mid-June to the
beginning of August reduced yields. Nebraska growers produced
2.42 million cwt of dry beans, 11 percent less than last year.
Harvested acres decreased 14 percent from 2006. The average yield,
at 2,260 pounds per acre, is up 60 pounds from the previous year.
Production in Idaho is estimated at 1.60 million cwt, 16 percent
below last year. The average yield, at 1,800 pounds per acre, is
down 50 pounds from last season. Dry conditions in northern Idaho
reduced chickpea yields while conditions in southern Idaho were
similar to last year.
Lentils: Production is estimated at 3.41 million cwt for
2007, down 2 percent from the November 1 forecast but 5 percent
above 2006. Planted area, at 303,000 acres, remains unchanged from
the previous forecast but is 29 percent below the previous season.
Harvested area, at 295,000 acres, is down 1,000 acres from the
November 1 forecast and 28 percent below last year. Average yield
per acre, at 1,155 pounds, is 24 pounds below November's forecast
but 358 pounds above last year.
North Dakota's production is estimated at 1.34 million cwt, up
10 percent from 2006. Soil moisture supplies were rated adequate
through June, then deteriorated to mostly short to adequate for the
remainder of the growing season. Above normal temperatures
throughout the growing season promoted crop development. Harvest
of the crop started the third week of July and was complete by
mid-September.
Montana's production, at 842 thousand cwt, is up 5 percent from a
year ago. Above normal temperatures and heavy precipitation during
most of April caused a short delay in planting. From the beginning
of May until mid-June, the State continued to receive above normal
precipitation with average temperatures. During July and August,
the State had both above normal temperatures and limited
precipitation.
In Washington, the State experienced normal growing temperatures
with light precipitation in April. By early May, conditions were
dry and rain was badly needed. Early June brought rain showers to
the lentil growing areas. Harvest went well and ended in early
September.
Production in Idaho, at 426,000 cwt, is down 9 percent from 2006 as
harvested area declined 24 percent. Despite a very hot summer with
limited precipitation, yield increased 200 pounds per acre from a
year ago.
Wrinkled Seed Peas: Production is estimated at 541,000 cwt in
2007, down 8 percent from 2006. Idaho production, at 135,000 cwt,
is up 69 percent from 2006. Production in Washington, at
406,000 cwt, decreased 20 percent from last year.
Dry Edible Peas: Production is estimated at 15.9 million cwt for
2007, up 2 percent from the November 1 forecast and 20 percent
above the 2006 estimate. Area harvested, at 811,300 acres, is up
slightly from the previous forecast but 8 percent below last year.
Average yield, at 1,960 pounds per acre, increased 29 pounds from
the November 1 forecast and is 467 pounds above 2006.
North Dakota's dry edible pea production is estimated at
10.4 million cwt, up 12 percent from last season. Harvested acres,
at 500,000, decreased 15 percent but yields were up 500 pounds per
acre from last season. Planting started in mid-April and was
complete by May 20, ahead of last year. Soil moisture supplies
were rated adequate through June, then deteriorated to mostly short
to adequate the remainder of the growing season. Above normal
temperatures during the growing season promoted crop development.
Crop condition was rated mostly good throughout the season.
Harvest started the third week of July and was complete by late
August.
Montana experienced above normal temperatures and heavy
precipitation during most of April. Beginning in May and
continuing until mid-June, the State continued to receive above
normal precipitation with average temperatures. During July and
August, both above normal temperatures and limited precipitation
were common.
Austrian Winter Peas: Production for the 2007 season is estimated
at 127,000 cwt, down 15 percent from the November 1 forecast and
51 percent below 2006. Area harvested, at 11,000 acres, is
21 percent below the previous forecast and 51 percent below last
season. Average yield, at 1,155 pounds per acre, increased
84 pounds from the November 1 forecast and is 4 pounds above 2006.
Idaho production, at 65,000 cwt, is down 38 percent from last year.
A very hot summer with little moisture had a negative impact on
both yield and quality. Oregon's acreage declined sharply due in
part to high prices for wheat and barley, which compete for
acreage. Montana's production, at 26,000 cwt, is down 76 percent
from last year. Harvested area is down 67 percent, largely due to
growers shifting more acreage to dry edible peas. Yields were
reduced by above normal temperatures and limited precipitation
during July and August.
Winter Potatoes: The final 2007 winter potato production is
estimated at 2.47 million cwt, unchanged from the April estimate
but 45 percent below 2006. Florida winter potatoes were combined
with their spring potatoes for the 2007 crop. The California
production is 21 percent below 2006. Area for harvest in
California, at 11,500 acres, is unchanged from April but down
4 percent from a year ago. The average yield of 215 cwt per acre
is unchanged from April but 45 cwt below a year ago.
Spring Potatoes: Production for 2007 is estimated at 20.7 million
cwt, virtually unchanged from the May forecast but 5 percent above
2006. Harvested area totaled 70,400 acres, unchanged from the
previous forecast but up 4 percent from a year ago. The average
yield of 294 cwt per acre is the same as the May forecast but 1 cwt
above 2006.
Florida production is estimated at 7.81 million cwt, up 1 percent
from the May 1 forecast and 21 percent above the 2006 production.
Florida's winter potatoes were combined with spring potatoes in
2007. In California, production increased 1 percent from last year
due to a 1 percent increase in harvested acres. Cold weather early
in the season delayed the crop and some growers did not begin to
harvest until June. Production in Texas increased 3 percent from
2006 with a record high yield of 320 cwt per acre. The crop
benefitted from good growing conditions and high levels of
moisture. Growers in North Carolina produced 17 percent fewer
spring potatoes than in the previous year. Dry conditions reduced
yield 24 cwt per acre from 2006. Production in Arizona declined
4 percent from last year due to a 20 cwt per acre drop in average
yield.
Summer Potatoes: Growers produced 16.9 million cwt of summer
potatoes in 2007, up 2 percent from the September forecast but down
7 percent from a year ago. Harvested area, at 50,400 acres, is
down 6 percent from last year. The average yield of 335 cwt per
acre is 2 cwt below 2006. Production declined from the previous
year in 7 of the 11 producing States.
In Texas, record high rainfall led to increased abandonment and
lower yields from last year. In Virginia, hot and dry weather
reduced yields from 2006. Colorado growers started harvest later
than usual due to delays in planting. Hail and hot temperatures
helped to keep yields at the same level as the previous year. In
Alabama, dry conditions adversely affected the quality of the crop.
Harvest began on time in California with growers reporting an
increase in yields from 2006. In New Jersey, growing conditions
improved after a dry summer and sufficient moisture late in the
season helped tubers to size.
Fall Potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2007 is estimated
at 409 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the December forecast
but up 3 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 996,700 acres,
is virtually unchanged from December but 1 percent above last year.
The average yield is estimated at 410 cwt per acre, unchanged from
December but 4 cwt above last year's record high.
Western States production is estimated at 288 million cwt,
virtually unchanged from the December forecast but up 6 percent
from last year. Area harvested, at 641,700 acres, increased
4 percent from last year, and the average yield of 449 cwt per acre
is up 6 cwt from 2006. Idaho's yield is estimated at 377 cwt per
acre, the second highest yield on record, 9 cwt below the record
yield set in 2006. Hot weather during the summer reduced the
quality of the crop. Incidences of the Potato Virus Y were more
frequent than normal which adversely affected yields. In
Washington, harvest progressed normally this year. The quality of
the crop was acceptable but not as good as in previous years. In
Colorado, a severe wind storm followed by a late freeze in mid-June
damaged plants. The earlier planted crop was slow to recover from
the damage, leading to increased yield variability. Oregon's crop
progressed at a normal pace with no major problems reported. In
California, favorable weather conditions resulted in excellent crop
quality and yields.
Central States production is estimated at 96.2 million cwt,
virtually unchanged from the December forecast but 3 percent below
last year. Harvested area, estimated at 266,400 acres, is
4 percent below a year ago, but the average yield of 361 cwt per
acre is up 4 cwt from a year ago. Overall, the Wisconsin crop
progressed ahead of normal. Growers reported a good quality crop
with harvest completed on time or early. In North Dakota, crop
condition was rated fair to good throughout the growing season.
Growers in both Michigan and Minnesota reported record high average
yields of 350 and 440 cwt per acre, respectively.
Eastern States production is estimated at 24.9 million cwt,
unchanged from the December forecast but 9 percent below last year.
Area for harvest totaled 88,600 acres, 3 percent below last year.
Average yield, at 281 cwt per acre, is down 18 cwt from last
season. In Maine, excellent growing and harvesting conditions
resulted in a high yielding, high quality crop. In Massachusetts
and Rhode Island, above average temperatures and below average
precipitation forced growers in many locations to irrigate. New
York planted acreage is at the lowest level since estimates began
in 1929.
All Potatoes: Total 2007 U.S. potato production from all four
seasons is estimated at 449 million cwt, 2 percent above the 2006
crop and up 6 percent from 2005. Harvested area, at 1.13 million
acres, is up 1 percent from last year and 4 percent more than two
years ago. The average yield, at 398 cwt per acre, is up 5 cwt
from last year and 8 cwt above 2005. By season, fall production is
3 percent above the previous year, summer is down 7 percent, spring
increased 5 percent, and winter decreased 45 percent from 2006.
Sweet Potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2007 is estimated
at 18.5 million cwt, up 14 percent from last season and 17 percent
above 2005. Growers harvested 97,500 acres, up 12 percent from
last year. Yield per acre, at 189 cwt, is up 2 cwt from last
year's record high yield. Production increased in 5 of the
9 producing States.
Drought conditions reduced sweet potato yields on the east coast.
In North Carolina the average yield, at 165 cwt per acre, was
15 cwt below 2006. The average yield in New Jersey was 35 cwt per
acre below the previous year. The Gulf Coast States also
experienced dry conditions. In Alabama, yields were lower than
last year due to the lack of rain. Despite the dry conditions in
Louisiana and Mississippi, timely rainfall resulted in above
average yields. Louisiana growers realized a record high average
yield of 195 cwt per acre, 30 cwt above last season and 20 cwt
above the previous record high set in 2003. In Mississippi,
Hurricane Humberto brought 3 inches of rain in mid-September that
helped the sweet potatoes increase in size. Good growing
conditions in California resulted in a record high yield of 320 cwt
per acre, 15 cwt above the previous record set in 2006.
Peppermint Oil: Production in 2007 is estimated at
6.79 million pounds, down 6 percent from last year. Harvested area
is estimated at 73,300 acres, down 7 percent from 2006.
Washington's harvested acreage, at 23,000 acres, is down 1,000
acres from a year ago. Acreage in Indiana and Wisconsin dropped
from 2006, while Idaho, Michigan, and Oregon showed no change from
a year ago. Production in Idaho and Washington remained at last
year's level, while Indiana, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin
reported lower production from 2006.
Spearmint Oil: Production is estimated at 2.38 million pounds for
2007, up 17 percent from last year and 32 percent above 2005.
Harvested area is estimated at 19,600 acres, up 6 percent from 2006
and 17 percent above 2005. Average yield is estimated at
121 pounds of oil per acre, up 11 pounds from last year and
13 pounds above 2005. Yields increased in Idaho, Indiana, Oregon,
and Washington from a year ago, while Michigan remained unchanged,
and Wisconsin yield decreased. Growers in Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington showed increases in harvested acreage from a year ago.
Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin showed decreases in both acreage
and production from 2006. Production increases were realized in
Idaho, Oregon, and Washington.
Hops: Production in 2007 totaled 60.3 million pounds, up 4 percent
from the 2006 crop of 57.7 million pounds and 14 percent above the
2005 production of 52.9 million pounds. Idaho's production
decreased 9 percent in 2007. Production in Washington and Oregon
increased 5 percent and 8 percent, respectively. Acreage in 2007
was up in all three States with a 5 percent increase overall.
Yields decreased slightly in Washington to 2,049 pounds per acre,
and increased in Oregon to 1,811 pounds per acre. Due to an
increase in the presence of "babies", Idaho yields dropped to
1,417 pounds per acre, 196 pounds less than a year ago.
Washington growers produced 77 percent of the U.S. hop crop for
2007. Zeus, Columbus/Tomahawk, Willamette, and Galena 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 79 percent of the State's hop production.
Maple Syrup: The 2007 U.S. maple syrup production totaled
1.26 million gallons, down 13 percent from 2006 but 1 percent above
2005. Maple syrup production decreased in all States. Decreased
yields were the largest contributing factor to the decrease in
production.
Vermont led all States in production with 450,000 gallons, a
decrease of 2 percent from 2006. Production in Maine, at
225,000 gallons, decreased 25 percent from last season. Production
in New York, at 224,000 gallons, is 11 percent below 2006.
Production was down 25 percent in Massachusetts and Wisconsin,
23 percent in Michigan and Pennsylvania, 20 percent in Connecticut,
6 percent in New Hampshire, and 4 percent in Ohio.
Temperatures were not favorable for sap flow in 2007 except in Ohio
where the majority of producers reported favorable weather.
Producers in New England experienced conditions that were mostly
too cold for sap flow. The remaining States (Michigan, Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin) experienced weather that was
mostly too warm for sap flow. However, there were some extremely
cold spells in many of these States that also hindered sap flow.
Coffee: Hawaii production is estimated at 7.50 million pounds
(parchment basis) for the 2007-08 season, up 1 percent from the
previous season. Harvested area is estimated at 6,400 acres, up
2 percent from the 2006-07 season. Coffee production from Maui,
Honolulu, and Kauai Counties is up from the previous season, which
accounts for the overall increase in production for Hawaii. In
Kona, the primary growing area on the island of Hawaii, coffee
harvest for the 2007-08 season is down. Although bean quality was
reported as good, erratic weather conditions, heavy pruning, insect
infestation, and labor problems led to the smaller crop.
Puerto Rico coffee production for the 2007-08 season is estimated
at 18.0 million pounds (parchment basis), unchanged from the
previous season. Overall growing conditions for the 2007-08 coffee
crop were reported as favorable. Heavy rains in October combined
with high winds delayed harvest.
Taro: Hawaii production is estimated at 4.00 million pounds for
2007, down 11 percent from 2006 and a new record low. Area in
crop, at 370 acres, is down 10 acres from 2006. Heavy rains
between February and April had an adverse effect on several taro
patches, while other growing areas had dry weather conditions. The
combination of less than favorable weather conditions, pests, and
disease hampered taro production in 2007.
Ginger Root: Hawaii production for the 2006-07 season is estimated
at 2.80 million pounds, down 35 percent from the previous season.
Harvested area, at 80 acres, is down 20 percent from the 2005-06
season. Average yield is 35,000 pounds per harvested acre, down
8,000 pounds from the previous season. The amount of rainfall for
the year was less than ideal for ginger root production. The
number of ginger root growers continues to decline due to the
increase in imports of lower priced ginger root from China.
