1 Crop Production ISSN: Released October 10, 2014, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Corn Production Up Less Than 1 Percent from September Forecast Soybean Production Up Slightly Cotton Production Down 2 Percent Orange Production Up 3 Percent from Last Season Corn production is forecast at 14.5 billion bushels, up less than 1 percent from the previous forecast and up 4 percent from Based on conditions as of October 1, yields are expected to average bushels per acre, up 2.5 bushels from the September forecast and 15.4 bushels above the 2013 average. If realized, this will be the highest yield and production on record for the United States. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 83.1 million acres, down 1 percent from the September forecast and down 5 percent from Acreage updates were made in several States following a thorough review of all available data. Soybean production is forecast at a record 3.93 billion bushels, up slightly from September and up 17 percent from last year. Based on October 1 conditions, yields are expected to average a record high 47.1 bushels per acre, up 0.5 bushel from last month and up 3.1 bushels from last year. Area for harvest in the United States is forecast at a record 83.4 million acres, down less than 1 percent from September but up 9 percent from last year. Acreage updates were made in several States based on a thorough review of all available data. All cotton production is forecast at 16.3 million 480-pound bales, down 2 percent from last month but up 26 percent from last year. Yield is expected to average 790 pounds per harvested acre, down 31 pounds from last year. Upland cotton production is forecast at 15.7 million 480-pound bales, up 28 percent from Pima cotton production, forecast at 578,000 bales, was carried forward from last month. The United States all orange forecast for the season is 6.96 million tons, up 3 percent from the final utilization. The Florida all orange forecast, at 108 million boxes (4.86 million tons), is up 3 percent from last season s final utilization. Early, midseason, and Navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 52.0 million boxes (2.34 million tons), down 2 percent from last season s final utilization. The Florida Valencia orange forecast, at 56.0 million boxes (2.52 million tons), is up 9 percent from last season s final utilization. In Florida, citrus growing conditions were ideal from the beginning of the citrus bloom to the start of the season harvest. The California Navel orange harvest is getting underway. Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the season is 1.60 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, up 2 percent from last season s final yield of 1.57 gallons per box. Projected yield from the 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.
