USDA : Crop production, 9.11.03

USDA U.S. Department of Agriculture - September 11, 2003


Cr Pr 2-2  (9-03)




Crop
Production

National Agricultural Statistics Service
USDA
Washington, D.C.


Released September 11, 2003, 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 August Forecast
Soybean Production Down 8 Percent 
Cotton Production Down 1 Percent



Corn production is forecast at 9.94 billion bushels, down 1 percent from
last month but 10 percent above 2002.  Based on conditions as of
September 1, yields are expected to average 138.5 bushels per acre, down
1.4 bushels from August but up 8.5 bushels from last year.  If realized,
both production and yield would be the second largest on record.  The
record for both was set in 1994 when production was estimated at
10.1 billion bushels and yield was 138.6 bushels per acre.  Yields are
lower than last month across much of the Great Plains and northern Corn
Belt as hot, dry conditions prevailed during most of August.  However,
yields are up in many Southeast and Atlantic Coastal States as adequate
moisture was received and conditions were mostly favorable.  Farmers
expect to harvest 71.8 million acres of corn for grain, down
100,000 acres from August but up 4 percent from 2002. 



Soybean production is forecast at 2.64 billion bushels, down 8 percent
from the August forecast and 3 percent below 2002.  Based on conditions
as of September 1, yields are expected to average 36.4 bushels per acre,
down 3.0 bushels from August.  If realized, this would be the lowest
production since 1996.  High temperatures and moisture shortages stressed
the soybean crop during the critical stages of development in the Great
Plains and western Corn Belt during August.  Forecast yields are down in
the northern Great Plains and upper and middle Mississippi Valley due to
extremely dry weather.  However, yield prospects improved in the Ohio
Valley, Delta States, Southeast, and Atlantic Coastal Plains due to mild
temperatures and adequate moisture during August.



All cotton production is forecast at 16.9 million 480-pound bales, down
1 percent from last month and 2 percent below last year's production. 
Yield is expected to average 667 pounds per acre, the same as last month. 
The lower production, compared to last month, is due primarily to reduced
harvested area of 110,000 acres based on administrative data.  The
September harvested area is expected to total 12.2 million acres.  The
yield decrease in Texas, due to poor growing conditions in the High
Plains area, is partially offset by yield increases in the Delta States
and California.



California Navel orange production for the 2003-04 season is forecast at
39.0 million boxes (1.46 million tons), down 5 percent from last season's
revised 41.0 million boxes (1.54 million tons).  This initial forecast is
based on an objective measurement survey conducted in the California
Central Valley.  Fruit set is down when compared to last year's record
set.  Fruit size is highly variable but sizes overall are reported as
larger when compared to last season.
