Released September 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, office hours 7:30 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m. ET.
 
 
 
Corn Production Down Slightly from Last Month
Soybean Production Up 1 Percent
Cotton Production Down 2 Percent
 
 
 
 
Corn production is forecast at 8.85 billion bushels, down less than 1 percent
from last month and down 7 percent from 2001.  Based on conditions as of
September 1, yields are expected to average 125.4 bushels per acre, up
0.2 bushel from August but down 12.8 bushels from last year.  If realized,
both the yield and production would be at their lowest levels since 1995.
Yields are lower than last month across much of the Corn Belt and along the
Atlantic Coastal Plains as hot and dry conditions persist.  However, yields
are up in the northern Corn Belt, northern Great Plains, and southern Great
Plains where total precipitation for the month was above normal.  Farmers
expect to harvest 70.5 million acres of corn for grain, down 460,000 acres
from August but up 3 percent from 2001.
 
 
 
Soybean production is forecast at 2.66 billion bushels, up 1 percent from
August but 8 percent below 2001.  Based on September 1 conditions, yields are
expected to average 37.0 bushels per acre, up 0.5 bushel from last month.  If
realized, this would be the lowest production since 1999.  Acreage for harvest
is forecast at 71.8 million acres, down slightly from August and 2 percent
below last year.  Area expected for harvest was decreased by 230,000 acres in
four States due to abandonment.  The States with the largest acreage
reductions are Kansas and Nebraska.  Downward adjustments to harvested acres
were also made in North Carolina and South Dakota.  Yield prospects improved
in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and across the northern Corn Belt due to mild
temperatures and adequate moisture supplies.  Yield prospects declined along
the Ohio Valley and Atlantic Coast States due to above normal temperatures.
 
 
 
All cotton production is forecast at 18.1 million 480-pound bales, down
2 percent from last month and 11 percent below last year's record high
production.  Yield is expected to average 675 pounds per acre, the same as
last month.  The reduced production is due primarily to reduced harvested
acreage in Arkansas, Louisiana, South Carolina, and Texas and lower yields
along the Atlantic Coast.  Harvested acreage, at 12.9 million acres, was
reduced based on administrative data.  The September harvested area reflects
decreases of 40,000 acres in Arkansas, 70,000 acres in Louisiana, 9,000 acres
in South Carolina, and 102,000 acres in Texas.  Conditions improved in
Arkansas, Missouri, and Texas, leading to higher yield expectations than last
month.
 
 
 
California Navel orange production for the 2002-03 season is forecast at 40.0
million boxes (1.50 million tons), up 18 percent from last season's revised
34.0 million boxes (1.28 million tons).  This initial forecast is based on an
objective measurement survey conducted in the California Central Valley.
Fruit set is up significantly from last year and the highest set since 1992.
Weather has been favorable during the growing season with some wind scarring
occurring.  Fruit size is small with an abundance of fruit on the trees.
Overall, the crop is developing well.
