Cr Pr 2-2 (11-07) Crop Production National Agricultural Statistics Service USDA Washington, D.C. Released November 9, 2007, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, U.S. Department of Agriculture. For information on "Crop Production" call (202) 720-2127, office hours 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET. Corn Production Down 1 Percent from October Soybean Production Down Slightly Cotton Production Up 4 Percent Corn production is forecast at 13.2 billion bushels, down 1 percent from last month but 25 percent above 2006. Based on conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 153.0 bushels per acre, down 1.7 bushels from October but 3.9 bushels above last year. If realized, this yield would be the second highest on record, behind 2004. Production would be the largest on record as producers expect to harvest the most corn acres for grain since 1933. Forecast yields are lower than last month across the northern and western Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains where actual harvest results are revealing that the impact of the hot, dry conditions during pollination was worse than initially expected. Producers in the Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, and mid-Atlantic States reported higher yields than last month. Soybean production is forecast at 2.59 billion bushels, down slightly from the October forecast and down 19 percent from last year's record high. Based on November 1 conditions, yields are expected to average 41.3 bushels per acre, down 0.1 bushel from last month and down 1.4 bushels from last year. Compared with last month, yields are forecast higher in Indiana, Michigan, Texas, and most of the Mid-Atlantic region as producers are realizing higher yields than expected. In contrast, yield prospects decreased or were unchanged across the remainder of the Nation as harvest progressed. Area for harvest in the U.S. is forecast at 62.8 million acres, unchanged from last month but down 16 percent from 2006. All Cotton production is forecast at 18.9 million 480-pound bales, up 4 percent from last month but down 13 percent from last year's 21.6 million bales. Yield is expected to average 859 pounds per harvested acre, up 33 pounds from last month and up 45 pounds from 2006. If realized, the yield will be the largest on record surpassing the previous record of 855 pounds per acre set in 2004. Harvested area of all cotton is expected to total 10.5 million acres, unchanged from last month but down 17 percent from last year. Upland cotton production is forecast at 18.1 million 480-pound bales, up 4 percent from last month but down 13 percent from last year. A record high yield of 845 pounds per acre is forecasted for upland cotton. Production is higher in the Southwest and lower Delta regions with growers expecting record yields in Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. In Florida, Missouri, and Tennessee, producers are expecting lower upland production than last month. American-Pima production is forecast at a record high 811,500 bales, up 5 percent from last month and up 6 percent from last year. American-Pima harvested area is expected to total 289,000 acres, unchanged from last month but down 11 percent from 2006. This report was approved on November 9, 2007.

October Weather Summary Heavy rain swept across the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States during the second half of October, threatening the quality of open-boll cotton but providing much-needed moisture for drought-stricken pastures and fall-sown crops. Beneficial rain also fell in parts of the Northeast. Farther west, a notable drying trend took place during October across the south-central and southwestern U.S. Such a turn toward autumn dryness is typical in these regions during the evolution of La Ni¤a, which involves a cooling of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Across the southern half of the High Plains, increasingly dry conditions favored summer crop harvesting but hampered winter wheat emergence and establishment. Farther north, exceptionally wet weather sharply curtailed fieldwork across the eastern Plains and western Corn Belt. Numerous October rainfall records were broken, particularly in South Dakota and Nebraska, despite a late-month drying trend. By month's end, however, corn and soybean harvesting resumed in all but the wettest locations. In contrast, corn and soybean harvesting neared completion across the central and eastern Corn Belt. When heavy rain arrived across the Ohio Valley toward month's end, autumn fieldwork was nearly done and emerging winter grains benefitted greatly from the boost in soil moisture. Elsewhere, dry weather in the Southwest contrasted with significant rain and high-elevation snow in parts of the Northwest. Beginning the weekend of October 20-21, several days of hot, windy weather fanned more than a dozen major wildfires across southern California. However, Southwestern dryness also favored cotton harvesting and other fieldwork, while Northwestern showers promoted winter wheat emergence. Cooler-than-normal weather in most areas west of the Rockies contrasted with significantly above-normal temperatures from the Plains to the East Coast. In fact, monthly temperatures averaged at least 8 degrees F above normal in many locations from the Great Lakes region into the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic States, resulting in numerous record highs for October average temperatures. Meanwhile, monthly readings averaged as much as 4 degrees F below normal in the Northwest. October Agricultural Summary 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 with rainfall in many areas ranging from 150 to 200 percent of normal. The notable 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, with temperatures in the Corn Belt, Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, and along the East Coast averaging 6 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit above normal. By October 7, ninety-six percent of the corn crop had reached maturity, 2 and 5 points, ahead of last year and the 5-year average, respectively. As the crop finished maturing, all States were at or ahead of normal. Harvest was in full swing and advanced 42 points between September 30 and October 28. By mid-month, harvest was 53 percent complete, 14 and 12 points ahead of last year and normal, respectively. By October 28, seventy-three percent of the acreage had been harvested, ahead of last year and normal by 8 and 4 points, respectively. Harvest was complete in North Carolina and Tennessee, while harvest in Illinois, Kentucky, and Texas was nearly complete. In Iowa, Missouri, the Dakotas, and Pennsylvania slight harvest delays were evident. By October 7, the sorghum crop was 86 percent mature, with development ahead of both last year and the average pace by more than 15 points. Maturity advanced to 94 percent by October 21, with progress only behind normal in Missouri and Oklahoma. The acreage in Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, and South Dakota was fully matured, while in Colorado, Illinois, and Texas, the crop was nearly all mature. Forty-seven percent of the Nation's sorghum acreage was harvested by October 7, ahead of last year and normal by 8 and 7 points, respectively. By month's end, nearly three-fourths of the acreage had been harvested, 16 points ahead of last year's pace and 11 points ahead of the normal pace. Arkansas' harvest was complete by October 7, while Louisiana followed close behind as producers finished harvesting by October 14. All States, except Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma were ahead of the normal harvest pace by the end of October. On October 7, fifty-eight percent of the winter wheat crop was planted, with progress lagging the previous year's pace and average by 7 and 8 points, respectively. The planting pace was 20 points behind normal in Oklahoma and 7 to 12 points behind normal in Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, and Texas. By month's end, planting was complete in Colorado, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota with more than three-fourths of the crop planted in all States except Arkansas, California, Missouri, and North Carolina. Nationally, 88 percent of the crop was planted, 2 points behind both last year and normal with producers in Oklahoma and North Carolina still well behind their 5-year average. By October 7, twenty-nine percent of acreage had emerged, nationwide. This was 5 points behind last year and 7 points behind normal with progress in the central and southern Great Plains well behind normal. Emergence continued to lag throughout the month but by October 28, seventy percent of the crop had emerged, only 1 and 3 points behind last year and normal, respectively. Although in North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas, emergence continued to lag well behind normal. Early in October, rice harvest was 84 percent complete, slightly behind last year but slightly ahead of normal. Harvest in Louisiana and Texas was complete by October 7 and Mississippi's harvest was nearly complete. Harvest progressed near normal in Arkansas but lagged 6 points behind average in California. By October 21, harvest was 93 percent complete, 2 and 1 point behind last year and normal, respectively. Harvest was complete or nearly complete in all States, except California, where progress fell further behind normal and was only 75 percent complete. Soybean acreage at or beyond the leaf-dropping stage was 97 percent by October 14, the same as last year but 1 point ahead of normal. By mid-October, the only significant acreage that had not entered the leaf-dropping stage was in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and North Carolina. Half of the crop was harvested by October 7, seven and 5 points ahead of last year and the 5-year average, respectively. Harvest progress varied substantially across the country, with producers in Minnesota 24 points ahead of normal compared with growers in Nebraska that were 14 points behind normal. By October 21, three-fourths of the soybean acreage was harvested, lagging last year and normal by 1 and 3 points, respectively. Half of the major producing States were behind their normal pace with the most significant delays in the northern Corn Belt and northern Great Plains. By month's end, harvest, at 84 percent complete, had caught up with the previous year's pace, surpassing it by 2 points but still remaining slightly behind the normal pace. Sunflower harvest was 11 percent complete by October 7, behind last year and normal by 2 points. With the exception of Colorado, all States were at or behind the harvest pace of last year and normal. As the month progressed, harvest delays continued in the Dakotas. However, producers in Kansas gained momentum during the month and joined Colorado growers by surpassing their normal harvest pace by month's end. In the Dakotas, however, harvest was well behind the 5-year average and on October 28, with 50 percent harvested in the four major States, progress was 14 points behind last year and 8 points behind normal. One-fifth of the peanut crop was harvested by October 7, one point behind last year and 16 points behind normal. Even though harvest advanced 10 or more points during the first week of October throughout the Southeast, progress was 3 to 23 points behind normal. During the next two weeks, harvest advanced 30 points and was 50 percent complete by October 21. With the exception of the Carolinas, progress in the Southeast remained well behind the normal pace. By October 28, sixty-two percent of the peanut crop had been harvested, 2 and 12 points behind last year and normal, respectively. Cotton development was nearly complete except in the Great Plains, Georgia, and California by October 7. Nationally, 85 percent of the crop was at or beyond the boll opening stage, the same as last year but ahead of normal by 2 points. By October 21, 93 percent of the acreage had opened bolls, 1 point behind last year but 1 point ahead of normal. At that time, progress was ahead of normal in all States except Georgia and Oklahoma. By the week ending October 7, harvest, at 30 percent complete, was 2 points behind last year and 4 points ahead of normal. Rapid harvest was evident in the Delta during that week. By the end of the month, 54 percent of the crop was harvested, 2 and 3 points ahead of last year and normal, respectively. Progress in Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas was 6 to 18 points behind normal, but harvest in Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia was more than 20 points ahead of normal. Starting off the month at the same pace as last year and normal, sugarbeet harvest was 35 percent complete by October 7. During the second week of the month, harvest gained momentum and advanced ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. However by October 21, harvest fell 6 points behind normal in Michigan, Minnesota, and North Dakota as rain slowed progress. On October 28, eighty-six percent of the crop had been harvested in the four major States, 1 point behind normal. Progress was near normal in the Red River Valley, 20 points behind normal in Michigan, but 11 points ahead of normal in Idaho. Corn for grain: Area harvested and to be harvested for grain is forecast at 86.1 million acres, unchanged from October but up 22 percent from 2006. If realized, this would be the most corn acres harvested for grain since 1933. The November 1 corn objective yield 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 last year in all objective yield States, with record highs being set in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. Warm temperatures and mostly dry weather 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 weather delays in some areas, the overall corn harvest continued to progress ahead of normal, due in part to early crop maturation. On October 28, the corn harvest was 73 percent complete, 8 points ahead of last year and 4 points ahead of the 5-year average. Harvest progress was ahead of normal in all States except Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. Sorghum: Production is forecast at 515 million bushels, up 3 percent from the October 1 forecast and 85 percent above 2006. Expected area for harvest as grain, at 6.70 million acres, is unchanged from last month but up 36 percent from last year. Based on November 1 conditions, the sorghum yield forecast is at a record high 76.8 bushels per acre, up 2.0 bushels from October and up 20.6 bushels from last year. Kansas, the top producing State, expects a yield of 81.0 bushels, 2.0 bushels above last month. The yield forecast for Texas is up 3.0 bushels from October, at 72.0 bushels per acre. If realized, the yield in Arkansas, Kansas, and Texas will be a record high, while Nebraska's forecasted yield will tie the record high set in 1994. As of October 28, harvest in the top 11 producing States was 73 percent complete, compared with 57 percent last year and 62 percent for the 5-year average. Harvest was complete in Arkansas and Louisiana. Rice: Production is forecast at 198 million cwt, up slightly from the October forecast and up 2 percent from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 2.73 million acres, unchanged from last month but down 3 percent from 2006. The yield is forecast at a record high 7,247 pounds per acre, up 32 pounds from last month and 379 pounds above last year. If realized, this will surpass the previous record high yield of 6,988 pounds per acre set in 2004. Record high yields are expected in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi. In Missouri, the yield is expected to equal the record high set in 2004. As of October 21, rice harvest was complete or nearly complete in all States except California. Soybeans: Growers expect to harvest 62.8 million acres, unchanged from last month but down 16 percent from 2006. Record high yields are forecast in Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Texas. The November objective yield indicated pod count for the combined seven major soybean producing States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio) is up slightly from last year's pod count. Compared with last year, November objective yield indicated pod counts are lower in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri, but higher in the remaining objective yield program States. If realized, pod counts from the November objective yield survey will be the highest on record in Nebraska, and the second highest on record in Iowa and Ohio. Harvest progress began the month of October 11 points ahead of last year's pace and 5 points ahead of the 5-year average. By mid-October, however, harvest had slowed to a more normal pace. 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. Instances of rain during the latter part of the month in the Ohio Valley, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic region slowed harvest progress at times. As of October 28, growers had harvested 84 percent of their acreage, compared with 82 percent last year and the 5-year average of 85 percent. Harvest progress lagged behind normal in Iowa, the Great Plains, and the Great Lakes region, but was at or ahead of normal pace across the remainder of the country. By the end of October, harvest was 95 percent complete or more in Illinois, Louisiana, and Mississippi. Peanuts: Production is forecast at 3.47 billion pounds, up 1 percent from last month and up marginally from last year. Area for harvest is expected to total 1.19 million acres, unchanged from October but down 2 percent from last year. Yields are expected to average 2,913 pounds per acre, up 40 pounds from last month and up 50 pounds from 2006. Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina) is expected to total 2.47 billion pounds, up 1 percent from October but down 2 percent from last year's level. Expected area for harvest, at 866,000 acres, is unchanged from October but down 7 percent from 2006. Yields in the region are expected to average 2,855 pounds per acre, up 36 pounds from last month and 145 pounds above 2006. As of October 28, peanut harvest was 55 percent complete in Alabama, 80 percent complete in Florida, and 57 percent complete in Georgia. Alabama lagged behind its 5-year average by 22 percentage points, while Florida and Georgia lagged their 5-year averages by 11 and 21 points, respectively. Peanut harvest in South Carolina, at 84 percent complete, was ahead of the 5-year average by 10 points. Vir
