Crop Production ISSN: 936-3737 Released June 9, 207, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Winter Wheat Production Up Less Than Percent from May Orange Production Up Slightly Winter wheat production is forecast at.25 billion bushels, up less than percent from the May forecast but down 25 percent from 206. Based on June conditions, the United States yield is forecast at 48.9 bushels per acre, up 0. bushel from last month, but down 6.4 bushels from last year. If realized, this will be the second highest yield on record for the United States, behind only 206. Hard Red Winter production, at 743 million bushels, is up percent from last month. Soft Red Winter, at 298 million bushels, is up percent from the May forecast. White Winter, at 209 million bushels, is down 2 percent from last month. Of the White Winter production, 7.5 million bushels are Hard White and 9 million bushels are Soft White. The United States all orange forecast for the 206-207 season is 5.8 million tons, up slightly from last month but down 5 percent from the 205-206 final utilization. The Florida all orange forecast, at 68.5 million boxes (3.08 million tons), is up percent from last month but down 6 percent from last season s final utilization. Early, midseason, and Navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 33.0 million boxes (.49 million tons), unchanged from last month but down 9 percent from last season s final utilization. The Florida Valencia orange forecast, at 35.5 million boxes (.60 million tons), is up percent from last month but down 22 percent from last season s final utilization. Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the 206-207 season is.42 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, up percent from last month and up percent from last season s final yield of.4 gallons per box. The early and midseason portion is final at.34 gallons per box, down percent from last season s final yield of.35 gallons per box. The Valencia portion is projected at.54 gallons per box, up percent from last month and up 5 percent from last year s final yield of.47 gallons per box. All projections of yield assume the processing relationships this season will be similar to those of the past several seasons.

Winter Wheat for Grain Objective Yield Data The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in 0 winter wheat-producing States during 207.

Crop Production (June 207) 2
May Weather Summary Abundant rainfall across the central Plains, as well as the Midwest, South, and East, periodically slowed fieldwork but kept pastures and summer crops well-watered. However, early-may river rises in the wake of late-april downpours led to extensive lowland flooding across the mid-south and lower Midwest, resulting in some submerged acreage and poor crop establishment. By June 4, at least one-tenth of the corn was rated in very poor to poor condition in Indiana (7 percent), Illinois ( percent), and Ohio (0 percent). Similarly, 4 percent of Arkansas rice crop was rated very poor to poor on June 4, a residual effect of earlier flooding. In stark contrast, mostly dry weather on the northern Plains accompanied by late-month heat led to worsening crop and pasture conditions. By June 4, more than one-third of the rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition in South Dakota (40 percent) and North Dakota (35 percent). On the same date, nearly one-third (32 percent) of South Dakota s spring wheat was rated very poor to poor. And, during the 2-week period from May 2 June 4, the portion of South Dakota s winter wheat rated very poor to poor surged from to 38 percent. Prior to the arrival of hot weather across the northern Plains, generally cool conditions were accompanied by several episodes of patchy frost and sub-freezing temperatures. Despite a late-may increase in shower activity, significant drought persisted through month s end across southern Georgia and much of Florida. (Much more rain fell across the lower Southeast in early June, significantly reducing drought coverage and intensity.) By May 30, Florida was experiencing the Nation s only extreme drought (D3), according to the United States Drought Monitor. And, the lightning-sparked West Mims fire, near the Florida-Georgia line mostly in the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, burned more than 50,000 acres of timber, brush, and grass. Elsewhere, warm, mostly dry weather in California and the Northwest favored fieldwork and crop development that had been previously delayed by cool, damp conditions. Nevertheless, only 30 percent of California s rice crop had emerged by June 4, compared to the 5-year average of 79 percent. Northwestern warmth accelerated the snow-melt rate and elevated river levels, although substantial snow remained on the ground by month s end across higher peaks of the Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and northern Rockies. The California Department of Water Resources noted that the remaining Sierra Nevada snowpack still contained an average of 7 inches of liquid by May 3, down from a seasonal peak of 48 inches. May Agricultural Summary Most of the United States recorded below average temperatures for the month of May, with the only major exceptions in parts of the West and Southeast. Portions of the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley recorded average temperatures more than 2 F below normal. Wet weather in early May hampered spring fieldwork across much of the eastern United States. Numerous locations in the eastern Ohio Valley, Delta, and mid-atlantic recorded over 8 inches of precipitation for the month. The western half of the Nation was relatively dry throughout the month. In late May, dry conditions prevailed across the West and Corn Belt allowing for more days of fieldwork but adversely impacted some crop conditions in the northern Plains. As May began, corn planting progress was well ahead of historical averages in most of the eastern Corn Belt States but progress lagged behind normal in the northern Corn Belt. By April 30, producers had planted 34 percent of this year s corn crop, nine percentage points behind last year but equal to the 5-year average. By April 30, nine percent of the Nation s corn crop was emerged, 3 percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By May 4, seventy-one percent of this year s corn crop was planted, 2 percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Mid-month planting progress was ahead of normal across most of the western Corn Belt, but the eastern States of Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio were at least 6 percentage points behind their respective 5-year averages. Thirty-one percent of the Nation s corn crop had emerged by May 4, ten percentage points behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. The planting of the 207 corn crop was mostly complete across the United States by June 4 with 96 percent complete, slightly behind both last year and the 5-year average. By June 4, eighty-six percent of the corn crop had emerged, 2 percentage points behind last year and slightly behind the 5-year average. By June 4, at least 90 percent of the corn had emerged in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. Overall, 68 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition on June 4, seven percentage points below the same time last year. 22 Crop Production (June 207)
Planting of sorghum advanced to 27 percent complete by April 30, four percentage points ahead of last year and slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Rainfall slowed planting progress in the lower Mississippi Valley at the end of April. Producers had planted 32 percent of this year s sorghum crop by May 4, slightly behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By mid-month, sorghum planting progress was behind the 5-year average in most estimating States, including Kansas, the Nation s leading sorghum-producing State. Producers had planted 55 percent of this year s sorghum crop by June 4, slightly behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. In Kansas, producers maximized the 5 days suitable for fieldwork to plant an additional 4 percent of their crop during the week ending June 4, bringing the overall State total to 25 percent complete, 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Oat seeding advanced to 67 percent complete by April 30, ten percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationally, 47 percent of the oat crop had emerged by April 30, seven percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
