Crop Production ISSN: 1936-3737 Released November 8, 2013, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Special Note This report contains estimates and forecasts that were originally scheduled for release in the October report. This includes updated planted and harvested acreage for dry edible beans, canola, corn, sorghum, soybeans and sunflowers. Also included are revised peanut and sunflower acreage, yield and production for 2012, as well as indicated 2013/2014 production forecasts for citrus fruits as of November 1. Due to the cancellation of the 2013 October Crop Production report, there are no October 1 yield forecasts to include in this report. Small Grain Update Survey respondents who reported barley, oats, Durum wheat, or other spring wheat acreage as not yet harvested in Montana and North Dakota during the surveys conducted in preparation for the Small Grains 2013 Summary, released September 30, 2013, were re-contacted in late October to determine how many of those acres were actually harvested and record the actual production from those acres. Based on this updated information, several changes were made to the estimates published in the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Because unharvested production is a component of on-farm stocks, changes were made to the September 1 on-farm stocks levels comparable with the production adjustments. Corn Production Up 1 Percent from September Forecast Soybean Production Up 3 Percent Cotton Production Up 2 Percent Orange Production Down 5 Percent from Last Season Corn production is forecast at 14.0 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the previous forecast and up 30 percent from 2012. If realized, this will be a new record production for the United States. Based on conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 160.4 bushels per acre, up 5.1 bushels from the previous forecast and 37.0 bushels above the 2012 average. If realized, this will be the highest average yield since 2009. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 87.2 million acres, down 2 percent from the previous forecast and down slightly from 2012. Soybean production is forecast at 3.26 billion bushels, up 3 percent from the previous forecast and up 7 percent from last year. If realized, production will be the third largest on record. Based on November 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 43.0 bushels per acre, up 1.8 bushels from the previous forecast and up 3.2 bushels from 2012. Area for harvest in the United States is forecast at 75.7 million acres, down 1 percent from both the previous forecast and last year. All cotton production is forecast at 13.1 million 480-pound bales, up 2 percent from the September forecast but down 24 percent from last year. Yield is expected to average 808 pounds per harvested acre, up 79 pounds from last year. Upland cotton production is forecast at 12.5 million 480-pound bales, down 25 percent from 2012. Pima cotton production, forecast at 625,500 bales, was carried forward from the previous forecast. The United States all orange forecast for the 2013-2014 season is 7.96 million tons, down 5 percent from the 2012-2013 final utilization. The Florida all orange forecast, at 125 million boxes (5.63 million tons), is down 6 percent from last season's final utilization. Early, midseason, and Navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 58.0 million boxes (2.61 million tons), down 14 percent from last season. The Florida Valencia orange forecast, at 67.0 million boxes (3.02 million tons), is up 1 percent from last season's final utilization. The early months of 2013 brought little precipitation and average temperatures to the citrus growing region. Significant rainfall returned in late spring and slowly eliminated drought conditions by the first week in July. Seasonal temperatures coupled with above average precipitation continued throughout the summer months and kept citrus groves drought free through mid-October. California's Navel orange crop is getting underway with growers expecting good quality fruit. Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the 2013-2014 season is 1.60 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, up 1 percent from last season's final yield of 1.59 gallons per box. Projected yield from the 2013-2014 Early-Midseason and Valencia varieties will be published in the January Crop Production report. All projections of yield assume the processing relationships this season will be similar to those of the past several seasons. This report was approved on November 8, 2013.

Sample plots were located in potato fields randomly selected using a scientifically designed sampling procedure. Field workers recorded counts and measurements within the field and then harvested six hills per sample. Potatoes were sent to laboratories for sizing and grading according to accepted United States fresh grading standards. Data in these tables are rounded actual field counts from this survey.

October Weather Summary An early-month Black Hills blizzard-devastating to livestock-headlined an active weather pattern across the north-central United States. A storm during the first week of October, affected a multi-state area. Western South Dakota was hit hardest and killed thousands of animals in the higher elevations. An additional two storms in western South Dakota hampered recovery efforts due to heavy rain and more snow. Farther east, however, Midwestern producers had enough time between storms to harvest nearly half (47 percent) of the United States and about two-thirds (66 percent) of the soybeans during the 4-week period ending October 27. Overall the United States harvest progress by October 27 was 59 percent for corn and 77 percent for soybeans. Toward month's end, the soybean harvest was nearing completion in upper Midwestern States such as Nebraska (94 percent) and Minnesota (91 percent), despite wetter-than-normal October conditions. Most of the Plains received enough autumn moisture to promote winter wheat emergence and establishment, leading to favorable early-season crop conditions. Nearly two-thirds (61%) of the United States wheat was rated in good to excellent condition on October 27, although pockets of dryness were a concern on the southern High Plains. Meanwhile, dry weather returned across much of the West during October, following the previous month's exceptional rainfall. Flood recovery efforts proceeded in Colorado, while mild, dry conditions fostered Northwestern winter wheat growth. In addition, dry weather favored fieldwork, including cotton harvesting, in California and the Southwest. Elsewhere, generally dry weather accompanied near- to above-normal temperatures in the Southeastern and North Atlantic States, while a single, slow-moving storm prior to midmonth triggered heavy rain in the Mid-Atlantic region. Southeastern fieldwork included winter wheat planting and cotton, peanut, and soybean harvesting. October Agricultural Summary Cooler than normal temperatures blanketed the western half of the United States during October while near-normal temperatures covered the eastern half of the country. Precipitation was above normal throughout the northern Great Plains, western Corn Belt, western Ohio Valley, and east Texas. In some of these areas, precipitation was over 300 percent of normal which resulted in delays in crop harvest. By the end of the month, cooler and dryer weather conditions promoted rapid fieldwork in the northern Great Plains and western Corn Belt. By September 29, sixty-three percent of the corn crop was mature, 30 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Five percent of Iowa's corn crop had been harvested for at this time, two weeks behind normal. Nationally, 12 percent of the crop was harvested, 40 percentage points behind last year and 11 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By the third week of the month, 94 percent of the corn crop was mature, 6 percentage points behind last year and slightly behind the 5-year average.

By November 3, thirty-two percent of the sunflower crop was harvested, 57 percentage points behind last year and 29 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Crop Comments Corn: Acreage updates were made in several States based on administrative data. Total planted area, at 95.3 million acres is down 2 percent from the previous estimate. Area harvested and to be harvested for grain is forecast at 87.2 million acres, down 2 percent from the September forecast. Based on conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 160.4 bushels per acre. Record yields are forecast for eighteen States in 2013. As of October 27, the last published corn condition ratings for 2013, sixty-two percent of the corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition in the 18 major producing States. The November 1 objective yield data indicate a record high number of ears per acre for the combined 10 objective yield States (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). Approximately 6 percent of the sample units laid out for 2013 were harvested for grain by the producer before the current month's observations could be completed. This compares with the five-year average of 2 percent. As October began, the corn crop continued to lag behind in development compared with both last year and the 5-year average. On September 29, sixty-three percent of the nation's corn crop was mature, 30 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Wet weather across much of the corn belt affected harvest progress with only 12 percent of the crop harvested by the first of the month, 40 percentage points behind last year's drought affected crop and 11 percentage points behind the 5-year average. However, by the third week of the month, the crop began to make headway as 94 percent of the nation's corn crop was mature, slightly behind the 5-year average. Good harvest weather allowed producers to harvest 73 percent of the corn crop by November 3, twenty-two percentage points behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Sorghum: Production is forecast at 416 million bushels, up 5 percent from the September forecast and up 68 percent from last year. Acreage updates were made in several States based on administrative data. Planted area, at 8.07 million acres, is up 12 percent from the previous estimate and up 29 percent from last year. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 6.68 million acres, up 10 percent from September and up 35 percent from 2012. Based on November 1 conditions, yield is forecast at 62.2 bushels per acre, down 2.9 bushels from the September forecast but up 12.4 bushels from last year. Record high yields are forecast in Louisiana and South Dakota, where farmers reported mostly favorable growing conditions. As of November 3, seventy-five percent of the sorghum crop had been harvested, 2 percentage points behind last year but 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Rice: Production is forecast at 189 million cwt, up 2 percent from the September forecast but down 5 percent from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 2.46 million acres, unchanged from September but 8 percent lower than 2012. Based on conditions as of November 1, the average United States yield is forecast at a record high 7,660 pounds per acre, up 149 pounds from September and up 211 pounds from last year. Record high yields are forecast in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. By November 3, rice harvest was 98 percent complete, 3 percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5- year average. Rice harvest was complete in Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana at this time. Soybeans: Acreage updates were made in several States based on administrative data. Planted area, at 76.5 million acres, is down 1 percent from the previous estimate. Area for harvest is forecast at 75.7 million acres, down 1 percent from both the previous forecast and last year. The November objective yield data for the combined 11 major soybean-producing States (Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota) indicate a higher pod count compared with last year as conditions have generally been more favorable across the Midwest. Compared with final counts for 2012, pod counts are up in nine of the eleven published States. The largest increase from 2012's final pod count is expected in South Dakota, up 416 pods per 18 square feet. Increases of more than 200 pods per 18 square feet are also expected in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Approximately 14 percent of the sample units laid out for 2013 were harvested for beans by the producer before the current month's observations could be completed. This compares with the five-year average of 3 percent. Soybean harvest in the 18 major States was 11 percent complete at the end of September, 28 percentage points behind last year's pace and 9 percentage points behind normal. Progress was behind normal in all 18 States except for Arkansas, Louisiana, and Ohio. During the month of October, conditions allowed progress to advance enough to reach the normal pace. As of November 3, eighty-six percent of the crop was harvested, 6 percentage points behind last year's pace but 1 percentage point ahead of normal. Only Kentucky and Tennessee were behind normal by more than 10 percentage points. If realized, the forecasted yield will be a record high in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Cotton: Upland harvested area is expected to total 7.58 million acres, unchanged from the previous forecast but down 17 percent from 2012. Pima harvested area, at 198,800 acres, was carried forward from the previous forecast. As of November 3, forty-three percent of the cotton had been harvested, compared with 61 percent at this time last year. Ninety-five percent of the crop had bolls opening by November 3, three percentage points behind last year and two percentage points behind the 5-year average. Harvesting activities progressed in the Southeast throughout the month. Record high yields are forecast in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Mexico. Ginnings totaled 3,172,650 running bales on November 1, 2013, compared with 6,433,750 running bales ginned the same date last year. Peanuts: Production is forecast at 3.90 billion pounds, up 5 percent from the September forecast but down 42 percent from last year's revised production of 6.76 billion pounds. Area for harvest is expected to total 1.03 million acres, unchanged from September but 36 percent lower than 2012. Based on conditions as of November 1, the average yield for the United States is forecast at 3,787 pounds per acre, up 184 pounds from September but down 430 pounds from the record high set last year. Oklahoma is the only State expecting a record high yield in 2013. As of November 3, eighty-four percent of the United States acreage was harvested, 2 percentage points behind last year but 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Weather conditions were ideal for peanut harvesting during October in most peanut-producing regions. Sunflower: Area planted, at 1.58 million acres, is up less than 1 percent from the June estimate but down 18 percent from last year. This is the second lowest planted area since 1976. Sunflower growers expect to harvest 1.50 million acres, down slightly from June and down 19 percent from 2012. If realized, harvested area will also be the second lowest since 1976. No revisions were made to the 2012 sunflower acreage, yield, and production estimates. Canola: Area planted, at 1.37 million acres, is up 5 percent from the June estimate but down 22 percent from last year's record high. Canola farmers expect to harvest 1.28 million acres, up 2 percent from June but down 26 percent from 2012. Despite the large decline from last year's record high, harvested area will be the third largest since 2002, if realized. Dry beans: United States dry edible beans revised planted area is estimated at 1.34 million acres, down 23 percent from the previous year. Harvested area is forecast at 1.29 million acres, down 24 percent from 2012. Wetter than normal conditions delayed or prohibited planting in several northern States. Sugarbeets: Production of sugarbeets for the 2013 crop year is forecast at 32.8 million tons, down 7 percent from last year. Producers expect to harvest 1.18 million acres, unchanged from the previous forecast but down 2 percent from 2012. Expected yield is forecast at 27.7 tons per acre, a decrease of 1.6 tons from last year. Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2013 is forecast at 32.1 million tons, down slightly from last year. Producers intend to harvest 905,600 acres for sugar and seed during the 2013 crop year, up 3,200 acres from last year. Expected yield for sugar and seed is forecast at 35.4 tons per acre, down slightly from 2012. Lentils: Production of lentils is forecast at 4.37 million cwt, down 18 percent from last year. Area for harvest is forecast at 331,000 acres, down 26 percent from the previous year. Average yield is expected to be 1,321 pounds per acre, up 143 pounds from 2012. In North Dakota, planting began in early-May, about three weeks behind last year's pace due to wintry conditions. Planting was complete by mid-July, about 6 weeks behind 2012. Harvest started in mid-September and was essentially finished by October 20, about three weeks behind the average pace. In Montana, cooler wet spring conditions delayed planting and crop development remained behind a normal pace. Dry edible peas: Production of dry edible peas is forecast at 15.6 million cwt, up 43 percent from last year. Planted area, at 840,000 acres, and harvested area, at 782,000 acres, increased by 29 percent and 26 percent, respectively. Average yield is expected to be 1,995 pounds per acre, up 244 pounds from 2012. In Montana, producers began harvest in late-July and were finished by mid-September. In North Dakota, planting was 95 percent complete by June 30. Harvest started in early-August and was 97 percent finished by the week ending September 15. Crop condition was rated mostly fair to good throughout the entire growing season. Austrian winter peas: Planted area is estimated at 19,000 acres, unchanged from last year. Area harvested is expected to total 12,100 acres, down 12 percent from last year. Yield, at 1,372 pounds, is up 153 cwt from last season. Production, at 166,000 cwt, is down 1 percent from 2012. Small grains: Survey respondents who reported barley, oats, Durum wheat, or other spring wheat acreage as not yet harvested in Montana and North Dakota during the surveys conducted in preparation for the Small Grains 2013 Summary were re-contacted in late October to determine how many of the acres were actually harvested and record the actual production from those acres. Based on this updated information, several changes were made to the estimates published in the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Because unharvested production is a component of on-farm stocks, changes were made to the September 1 on-farm stocks levels comparable with the production adjustments. Other spring wheat harvested area was reduced from the Small Grains 2013 Summary in Montana. As a result of this change and a yield change in North Dakota, other spring wheat production in the United States is estimated at 534 million bushels, up slightly from the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Durum harvested area was unchanged from the Small Grains 2013 Summary. As a result of a yield change in North Dakota, Durum wheat production in the United States is estimated at 61.9 million bushels, up slightly from the Small Grains 2013 Summary. All wheat production in the United States is estimated at 2.13 billion bushels, up slightly from the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Oat harvested area and yield were reduced from the Small Grains 2013 Summary in Montana. As a result of these changes, oat production in the United States is estimated at 65.9 million bushels, down slightly from the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Barley harvested area, yield, and production were unchanged from the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Grapefruit: The 2013-2014 United States grapefruit crop is forecast at 1.13 million tons, down 5 percent from last season's final utilization. In Florida, fruit per tree is forecast to be higher than previous season. However, projected droppage is expected to be above average, while average size is expected to be below the minimum for white grapefruit and close to the minimum for colored grapefruit. Lemons: The forecast for the 2013-2014 United States lemon crop is 931,000 tons, up 2 percent from last season's final utilization. In California, the lemon harvest is progressing ahead of normal. Demand, especially for export, continues to be excellent. In Arizona, the quality of lemons is reportedly fair while demand continues to exceed supply. Tangelos: Florida's tangelo forecast is 1.00 million boxes (45,000 tons), unchanged from last season's final utilization. The forecasted fruit per tree is up from last year. Fruit size is expected to be near the minimum with droppage projected to be above average. Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is forecast at 726,000 tons, up 6 percent from the 2012-2013 crop. In California, satsuma mandarin and tangerine harvests remained active. In Florida, fruit per tree is forecast to be higher than last season. Fruit size is projected to be above average for the Fallglo variety, near the minimum for the Sunburst variety, and below average for the Honey variety. Droppage is expected to be above average for the Sunburst and Honey varieties, but average for the Fallglo variety. Florida citrus: High temperatures for the month ranged from the mid 90s to the mid to upper 80s by month's end. Rainfall was scattered and generally light as the dry season began. The citrus producing regions remained drought free until the last week of the month, when abnormally dry conditions were observed in all but the western area. Field workers reported that trees and fruit in cared-for-groves look very good due to rainfall over the past months. Fruit size reports appear to be inconsistent with some areas reporting oranges slightly larger than golf balls and others closer to baseball size. Grapefruit size was reported as larger than oranges. Grove activity included resetting of new trees in active groves, pushing of dead groves and replanting new citrus, mowing, fertilizing, and psyllid control. About 70 percent of the packinghouses have opened and began shipping small quantities of fruit. Only seven out of nineteen processing plants were reported open so far this season. California citrus: Satsuma mandarin and tangerine harvests remained active. Navel orange harvest increased and maturity tests looked good. Lemon harvest was ongoing in the Imperial and San Joaquin Valleys. Oroblanco grapefruit and pomelo harvests continued. Quarantines were ongoing in Tulare County for Asian Citrus Psyllid. California noncitrus fruits and nuts: Harvested fruit orchards and vineyards were irrigated and pruned. Fig harvest was complete. Pomegranate harvest continued. Pear harvest was nearly complete and Asian pear harvest continued. Apple harvest remained active, including the Fuji, Granny Smith, and Pink Lady varieties. Kiwi and persimmon harvests began. Peach, nectarine, and plum harvests were complete, except for some late variety plums. Stone fruit orchards that had completed harvest were undergoing pruning, topping, and general orchard cleanup. Olive harvest was ongoing for both oil and table varieties. Avocado harvest was drawing to a close. Raisin grape harvest was nearly complete. Late variety wine and table grapes continued to be harvested. Almond harvest was nearly complete. Pistachio and walnut harvests were slowing. Harvested nut orchards were irrigated, fertilized, and pruned. Fall potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2013 is forecast at 402 million cwt, down 4 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 936,100 acres, is 5 percent below the previous year. The average yield forecast, at 429 cwt per acre, is up 6 cwt from last year's yield. In Idaho, growers are expecting a record high yield, while harvested acreage is estimated to be 8 percent lower than 2012. Growers in Maine reported excessive moisture that stressed the developing crop and led to storage problems. In New York, growers reported harvest losses due to excessively wet conditions. All potatoes: Total United States potato production in 2013 from all seasons is forecast at 440 million cwt, 5 percent below 2012. Harvested area, at 1.05 million acres, is down 7 percent from last year. Average yield is forecast at 418 cwt per acre, up 9 cwt from the previous year. Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between October 25 and November 5 to gather information on expected yield as of November 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton, and soybeans were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for about 80 percent of the United States production. Randomly selected plots were revisited to make current counts. The counts made within each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, plant counts are recorded along with other measurements that provide information to forecast the number of ears, bolls, or pods and their weight. The counts are used with similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. The plots are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss. The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interviewers. Approximately 10,000 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield. Estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared to previous months and previous years. Each State Field Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published November 1 forecasts. Revision policy: The November 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks, production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant changes. Estimates of planted acres for spring planted crops are subject to revision in the August Crop Production report if conditions altered the planting intentions since the mid-year survey. Current year, planted acres may also be revised for cotton, peanuts, and rice in the September Crop Production report each year; spring wheat, Durum wheat, barley, and oats only in the Small Grains Summary report at the end of September; and all other spring planted crops in the October Crop Production report. Revisions to planted acres will only be made when either special survey data, administrative data, such as Farm Service Agency program "sign up" data, or remote sensing data are available. Harvested acres may be revised any time a production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended harvested area has changed since the last forecast. Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the November 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the November 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's forecast are not different from those influencing recent years. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the November 1 corn for grain production forecast is 1.2 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 2.0 percent. Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the November 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the November 1 forecast and the final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 97.0 million bushels, ranging from 26.0 million bushels to 214 million bushels. The November 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 8 times and above 12 times. This does not imply that the November 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
