Small Grains 2002 Summary
September 2002
All wheat production totaled 1.62 billion bushels in 2002, down 4
percent from the last forecast and 17 percent below 2001. This is the
lowest production since 1972. Grain area is 46.0 million acres, down 5
percent from last year and the smallest area harvested since 1970. The
U.S. yield is 35.3 bushels per acre, down 4.9 bushels from a year ago.
Levels of production and change from last year by type are: winter
wheat, 1.14 billion bushels, down 16 percent; other spring wheat, 402
million bushels, down 22 percent; and Durum wheat, 80.2 million bushels,
down 4 percent.
Oats: Production is estimated at 119 million bushels, 16 percent below
the August 1 forecast, but 2 percent above last year's record low 117
million bushels. The estimated yield is 56.8 bushels per acre, 2.6
bushels above the August 1 forecast, but 4.6 bushels below 2001. Area
for harvest is estimated at 2.10 million acres, 20 percent below the
August 1 estimate but up 10 percent from a year ago. Compared with the
August 1 estimate, acres harvested for grain dropped 150,000 in South
Dakota and 140,000 in North Dakota. Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and
Wisconsin had smaller, but significant, reductions from August.
Barley production is estimated at 227 million bushels, down 10 percent
from the August forecast and down 9 percent from last year's estimate.
This year's production is the lowest since 1937. Average yield per acre,
at 54.9 bushels, is down 1.0 bushel from August and down 3.3 bushels
from 2001. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 4.14 million
acres, down 8 percent from August and 4 percent below a year ago, and is
the lowest level since 1898. Of the 364,000 acre decrease in harvested
area since August, North Dakota accounted for 280,000 acres of the
decline due to extremely dry conditions in the southern part of the
State.
This report was approved on September 30, 2002.

1/ Wheat class estimates are based on the latest varietal acreage survey data
available.
Wheat: Class Percentage Estimates
The following percentages are the basis for the U.S. wheat production by
class estimates each year. These estimates are based on the latest
varietal or class survey data available. These end-of-season percentages
will be used during the 2003 forecast season. However, if an unusual
situation significantly distorts a State's usual distribution, then
updated percentages will be used to forecast the production by class.
(Note: the Idaho, Oregon, and Washington percentages are based on their
estimates of production by class).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oats: Production is estimated at 119 million bushels, 16 percent below
the August 1 forecast, but 2 percent above last year's record low 117
million bushels. The estimated yield is 56.8 bushels per acre, 2.6
bushels above the August 1 forecast, but 4.6 bushels below 2001. Area
for harvest is estimated at 2.10 million acres, 20 percent below the
August 1 estimate but up 10 percent from a year ago. Compared with the
August 1 estimate, acres harvested for grain dropped 150,000 in South
Dakota and 140,000 in North Dakota. Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and
Wisconsin had smaller, but significant, reductions from August.
Planting advanced ahead of normal in parts of the western Corn Belt, but
cold weather delayed progress in the upper Mississippi Valley and
northern Great Plains in early April. In Iowa and Nebraska, planting was
active during most of April and neared completion well ahead of normal.
In the eastern Corn Belt, rain and wet soils limited progress until late
April. Planting accelerated in the upper Mississippi Valley and northern
Great Plains in early May and gained momentum in Ohio and Wisconsin, but
progress remained far behind normal due to frequent rain and lingering
wetness.
Warm weather and favorable topsoil moisture aided rapid emergence and
promoted early-season vegetative growth in Iowa, Nebraska, and
Pennsylvania. However, a combination of excessive heat and increasing
moisture shortages during June steadily reduced conditions in many areas
of the central and northern Great Plains. In Minnesota, a period of
excessive rain combined with slow soil drainage led to condition
declines.
In July, fields entered the heading stage and matured ahead of normal in
Nebraska and Iowa, while development continued to lag in the upper
Mississippi Valley and eastern Corn Belt. By July 21, the oat crop was
95 percent headed, matching the average for that date. Hot weather
promoted rapid biological development during most of the month, but
increasing moisture shortages on the Great Plains reduced forage
supplies and forced growers to harvest many fields as grain hay.
Harvest accelerated after mid-July and progressed with few delays in
most areas, and by the end of the month, progress was far ahead of
normal in Iowa and South Dakota and neared completion in Nebraska. In
August, harvest progressed ahead of normal early in the month, but fell
behind normal after midmonth. Harvest accelerated in the upper
Mississippi Valley near midmonth, but progress lagged 3 to 4 days behind
normal in North Dakota. On September 1, harvest was 92 percent complete,
slightly behind the average of 95 percent.
Barley: Production is estimated at 227 million bushels, down 10 percent
from the August forecast and down 9 percent from last year's estimate.
This year's production is the lowest since 1937. Average yield per acre,
at 54.9 bushels, is down 1.0 bushel from August and down 3.3 bushels
from 2001. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 4.14 million
acres, down 8 percent from August and 4 percent below a year ago, and is
the lowest level since 1898. Of the 364,000 acre decrease in harvested
area since August, North Dakota accounted for 280,000 acres of the
decline due to extremely dry conditions in the southern part of the
State.
Barley advanced to 23 percent planted and 7 percent emerged by April 28.
Planting and emergence trailed the 5-year average of 33 and 12 percent,
respectively. Planting was active in the interior Pacific Northwest and
adjacent northern High Plains most of the month. Planting slowly gained
momentum on the northern Great Plains, despite cold weather and
scattered snowfall. Planting was completed in late May and early June
across the major producing States. Below-normal temperatures hindered
emergence and limited growth in the Pacific Northwest and on the Great
Plains.
Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid biological development across
the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest during July. However,
moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth in less advanced fields and
hampered grain-filling in more advanced fields, especially in South
Dakota. Nearly all of the barley fields were headed in Minnesota and
Washington by midmonth. In Idaho and Montana, barley fields entered the
heading stage later than normal. Extremely dry conditions in southern
North Dakota forced farmers to either abandon barley fields or harvest
them for hay.
Barley harvest advanced to 71 percent complete on September 1, well
behind the normal pace of 81 percent. Cold nighttime temperatures
delayed ripening and limited the harvest pace across most of the
northern Great Plains. Harvest progressed far behind normal in Montana
and well behind normal North Dakota. In Washington and Idaho, the
barley harvest lagged early in the month, but exceeded the 5-year
average at the end of the August.
Winter Wheat: The 2002 winter wheat production is estimated at 1.14
billion bushels, the lowest level since 1970. This is down 1 percent
from the August forecast and 16 percent below the 2001 level. The U.S.
yield decreased 0.4 bushel from August to 38.5 bushels per acre. This is
5.0 bushels below last year's final yield. Acreage for grain is
estimated at 29.7 million acres, down slightly from the last forecast.
This is the smallest harvested area since 1917. Planted area is 41.7
million acres, up 1 percent from the last forecast.
Hard Red Winter (HRW) yields were generally down from last year.
Persistent drought conditions across the Plains led to the decline.
Montana's yield is up from last year's extremely low level. Overall, HRW
production totals 609 million bushels, down 21 percent from last year.
Most Soft Red Winter (SRW) producing States' yields were down sharply
from last year. Excessive spring moisture in the Ohio Valley and
adjacent areas of the southern and eastern Corn Belt led to disease
problems. Overall, SRW production is down 17 percent from 2001 and
totals 332 million bushels.
White Winter production, at 201 million bushels, registered the only
increase in 2002 and is up 3 percent from last year. Yields rebounded in
Idaho and Oregon where irrigation water shortages last year hampered the
crop. Washington's yield declined from a year ago due to dry weather.
Other Spring Wheat: Production in 2002 is estimated at 402 million
bushels, down 10 percent from the last forecast and 22 percent below
2001. Harvested area is 13.6 million acres, 10 percent lower than the
final forecast, primarily due to drought induced abandonment in the
Dakotas. North Dakota and South Dakota accounted for 1.35 million of the
1.56 million acre reduction in harvested acres since the August
forecast. The U.S. yield is 29.5 bushels per acre, unchanged from the
last forecast, but 5.7 bushels below last season.
Harvest progressed behind average, especially in Montana and North
Dakota. All States recorded lower yields than last year, except
Colorado, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The Colorado yield is a
record high, where most of the acreage harvested this year was
irrigated. Oregon and Washington are rebounding from very low yields
last year. Objective Yield survey data showed plant populations at below
average levels in Montana, average in North Dakota, and above average in
Minnesota. Weight per head was below average in North Dakota, and far
below average in Minnesota and Montana.
Durum Wheat: Durum production for 2002 totaled 80.2 million bushels, up
1 percent from August 1, but 4 percent less than last year. Grain area
totals 2.76 million acres, up 2 percent from the last forecast but 1
percent below a year ago. The U.S. yield is estimated at 29.1 bushels
per acre, down 0.4 bushel from the last forecast and 0.9 bushel per acre
below 2001. North Dakota's Durum harvest was 83 percent complete as of
September 22, well behind last year's pace.
Rye: Production for 2002 is estimated at 6.99 million bushels, up
slightly from last year's record low. This is the second lowest
production on record. Harvested area totaled 286
