Released November 12, 2002, by the National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, U.S. Department of
Agriculture.  For information on "Crop Production" call  (202) 720-2127,

Corn Production Up Slightly from October
Soybean Production Up 1 Percent
Cotton Production Down 1 Percent
 
 
 
Corn production is forecast at 9.00 billion bushels, up slightly from
last month but down 5 percent from 2001.  Based on conditions as of
November 1, yields are expected to average 127.6 bushels per acre, up
0.4 bushel from October but down 10.6 bushels from last year.  If
realized, production would be at the lowest level since 1995.  Yield
prospects in Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska increased from last month
despite heavy rainfall at the beginning of the month which slowed harvest
progress.  Ohio producers realized lower than expected yields from last
month as harvest progressed on the late planted, drought stricken crop.
 
 
 
Soybean production is forecast at 2.69 billion bushels, up 1 percent from
October but 7 percent below 2001.  Based on November 1 conditions, yields
are expected to average 37.5 bushels per acre, up 0.5 bushel from last
month.  If realized, this would be the lowest production since 1999.
Area for harvest is forecast at 71.8 million acres, unchanged from
October but 2 percent below last year.  As harvest progressed, producers
realized yield increases from last month in the northern Great Plains,
Great Lakes, upper Mississippi Valley, and Tennessee Valley.  However, in
the Atlantic Coast States, yield prospects decreased from last month.
 
 
 
All cotton production is forecast at 17.8 million 480-pound bales, down 1
percent from October and down 12 percent from last year's record high
production.  Yield is expected to average 665 pounds per harvested acre,
down 9 pounds from last month.  Growers in Alabama, Georgia, and the
Atlantic Coast States are continuing to see the results of adverse
weather that has affected their season.  Harvested area, at 12.9 million
acres, is unchanged from October 1 but 7 percent below 2001.

Fall Potatoes:  Percent of Varieties Planted, 2002 Crop
 
The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts variety surveys in
8 States, accounting for 89 percent of the forecast U. S. fall potato
production.  Colorado data are from a growers potato variety survey.  The
remaining 7 States conduct Objective Yield Surveys where all producing
areas were sampled in proportion to planted acreage.  Variety data shown
below are actual percentages from these surveys.
