Agriculture (USDA).

Winter Wheat Production Up 3 Percent from June Orange Production Down Slightly from June

Winter wheat production is forecast at 1.49 billion bushels, up 3 percent from last month and up slightly from 2010. The

United States yield is forecast at 46.2 bushels per acre, up 0.9 bushel from last month but down 0.6 bushel from last year.

The area expected to be harvested for grain totals 32.3 million acres, unchanged from the Acreage report released on

June 30, 2011 but up 2 percent from last year.

Hard Red Winter, at 791 million bushels, is up 2 percent from a month ago. Soft Red Winter, at 458 million bushels, is up

6 percent from the previous forecast. White Winter is up 1 percent from last month and now totals 243 million bushels. Of

this total, 11.6 million bushels are Hard White and 231 million bushels are Soft White.

Durum wheat production is forecast at 63.7 million bushels, down 41 percent from 2010. The United States yield is

forecast at 38.7 bushels per acre, down 3.7 bushels from last year. Expected area to be harvested for grain totals

1.65 million acres, unchanged from the Acreage report released on June 30, 2011 but down 35 percent from last year.

Other spring wheat production is forecast at 551 million bushels, down 11percent from last year. The expected area to be

harvested for grain totals 13.2 million acres, unchanged from the Acreage report released on June 30, 2011 but down

1 percent from last year. The United States yield is forecast at 41.7 bushels per acre, 4.4 bushels below 2010. Of the total

production, 504 million bushels are Hard Red Spring wheat, down 12 percent from last year.

2 Crop Production (July 2011) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

The United States all orange forecast for the 2010-2011 season is 8.78 million tons, down slightly from the June 1

forecast but 6 percent above the 2009-2010 final utilization. The Florida all orange forecast, at 139 million boxes

(6.26 million tons), is down 1 percent from the June 1 forecast but 4 percent above last season’s final utilization. The

monthly row count survey indicated that 99 percent of the Valencia crop had been harvested.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the 2010-2011 season is 1.58 gallons per box at

42.0 degrees Brix, down 1 percent from the June 1 forecast but up 1 percent from last season’s final yield of 1.56 gallons

per box. The early-midseason portion is final at 1.52 gallons per box, up 1 percent from last season’s yield of 1.51 gallons

per box. The Valencia portion is projected at 1.66 gallons per box, 2 percent higher than last year’s final yield of

1.63 gallons per box. All projections of yield assume the processing relationships this season will be similar to those of

the past several seasons.

Winter Wheat Head Population

The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in 10 winter wheat estimating States

during 2011. Randomly selected plots in winter wheat fields are visited monthly from May through harvest to obtain

specific counts and measurements. Data in this table are actual field counts from this survey. The final number of heads is

determined when the plots are harvested.

June Weather Summary

Across the south-central United States, relentlessly hot, mostly dry weather maintained severe stress on pastures,

rangeland, and rain-fed summer crops. Even some heavily irrigated crops on the southern Plains suffered under the spell

of record-breaking heat and drought. Texas experienced its hottest June, breaking a 1953 record, and endured its driest

June since 1934.

Farther north, however, cool, showery weather continued to plague the northern Plains and the Northwest, hampering crop

development and late-season planting efforts. Flooding intensified along the Missouri River, as heavy rain falling on

saturated soils combined with runoff from melting snow in the northern Rockies.

Meanwhile, much of the Corn Belt experienced improving conditions, following early-season planting delays. Across the

previously waterlogged eastern Corn Belt and upper Midwest, producers were able to plant most of the remaining acreage

intended for corn and soybeans. As the month progressed, warmer weather promoted Midwestern crop emergence and

development.

Elsewhere, drought covered not only the southern Plains but also stretched from Arizona to the southern Atlantic Coast.

Wildfires and poor crop conditions were obvious symptoms of the soil moisture shortages. Toward month’s end, however,

an increase in shower activity started to provide some Southeastern drought relief.

Monthly temperatures averaged as many as 5 degrees Fahrenheit below normal across the northern High Plains and parts

of the West, but ranged from 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in much of the south-central United States.

June Agricultural Summary

Above average temperatures and unusually dry weather continued to dominate much of the southern half of the United

States during June, compounding the effects of low soil moisture levels and adversely affecting crop conditions.

Temperatures in an area centered over Oklahoma and northern Texas were as many as 8 degrees above average, with

recordings in isolated locations reaching upward of 10 degrees above average. Conversely, cool, wet weather limited

fieldwork and small grain crop development throughout much of the Northern Tier and along the Pacific Coast.

By June 5, corn producers had planted 94 percent of this year’s crop, 5 percentage points behind last year and

4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As the month began, planting was most active in Ohio, where improved

conditions allowed ample time for fieldwork following unusually wet weather earlier in the season. Warm temperatures

coupled with adequate soil moisture levels in many of the major producing States provided nearly ideal growing

conditions for emerging corn plants during the first half of June. By June 19, emergence was 97 percent complete,

3 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Silking was underway in seven of

the 18 major estimating States by July 3; however, progress was well behind both last year and normal in most States due

to late spring planting. Overall, 69 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 3,

compared with 67 percent on June 5 and 71 percent from the same time last year.

Warm, sunny weather aided a rapid planting pace in many of the major sorghum-producing States during the first half of

June. In the 14 day period ending June 12, producers planted 29 percent of this year’s crop. Dryland sorghum fields across

much of Texas were in need of rainfall to continue developing, while harvest was underway in a limited number of fields

in the Coastal Bend by mid-month. With activity limited to Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, one-quarter of the Nation’s

sorghum crop was headed by June 19, eight percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. As June

ended, heading inched forward, with progress yet to begin in Kansas and limited development evident in Texas. Overall,

36 percent of the sorghum crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 3, compared with 38 percent on

June 12 and 71 percent from the same time last year.

Poor weather conditions throughout the spring led to seeding and crop development delays in many of the major

oat-producing States. Seeding was ongoing as the month began and despite significant delays in North Dakota and Ohio,

planting progress Nationwide was 96 percent complete by June 12. Emergence was 96 percent complete by June 19, with

heading complete in Texas and underway in all other major estimating States except North Dakota. Warmer temperatures


across much of the growing region promoted double-digit head development during the week ending June 26. By month’s

end, harvest was nearly complete in Texas, while head development was behind both last year and the average in all other

estimating States. Overall, 59 percent of the oat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 3, compared with

58 percent on June 5 and 81 percent from the same time last year.

With seeding nearing completion in Idaho, Minnesota, and Washington, 80 percent of the Nation’s barley crop was in the

ground by June 5, nineteen percentage points behind both last year and the 5-year average. Despite improved weather

conditions affording producers in North Dakota ample time to complete fieldwork early in the month, seeding progress for

the State was 25 percentage points behind normal by June 12. Although warmer temperatures in portions of the major

barley-producing regions promoted rapid crop emergence during the first half of the month, progress remained well

behind normal. Toward month’s end, producers in North Dakota battled soggy fields in hopes of sowing as much of their

intended acreage as possible before the lateness of the season prevented further seeding. By July 3, barley producers

Nationwide had seeded 96 percent of this year’s crop, with 93 percent of the crop emerged. With progress limited to

Idaho, Minnesota, and Washington, 9 percent of the barley crop was at or beyond the headed stage by July 3, thirty

percentage points behind last year and 38 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 76 percent of the barley

crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 3, compared with 66 percent on June 12 and 85 percent from the

same time last year.

Seventy-nine percent of the 2011 winter wheat crop was at or beyond the heading stage by June 5, four percentage points

behind last year and 6 percentage points behind the 5-year average. In Kansas, the largest winter wheat-producing State,

heading was complete with 50 percent of the crop turning color and 11 percent mature. Harvest was underway in

Arkansas, California, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Texas, with progress in the southern Great Plains well ahead of

normal due to unusually hot, dry weather that helped to quickly dry down the crop. Heading progress in the Pacific

Northwest and northern Rocky Mountains was limited by cool, wet weather throughout much of the month. Harvest

advanced at a rapid a pace in many States as warm, dry weather continued to quickly mature the crop. By July 3,

ninety-seven percent of the winter wheat crop was at or beyond the heading stage, with 56 percent of the crop harvested,

4 percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Overall, 36 percent of the winter wheat crop was

reported in good to excellent condition, compared with 34 percent on June 5 and 63 percent from the same time last year.

As June began, spring wheat seeding continued in the six major estimating States. By June 5, emergence had advanced to

57 percent complete, 32 percentage points behind last year and 35 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Improved

growing conditions in most States promoted double-digit emergence during the 14 days ending June 12; however, overall

progress remained well behind normal. Cool, wet conditions in Montana and North Dakota led to delays of 21 percentage

points or more by June 19. With progress complete in four of the six major spring wheat-producing States, 95 percent of

the crop was seeded by June 26. Thirteen percent of the crop was at or beyond the heading stage by July 3. With cool

temperatures dominating much of the Northern Tier throughout the growing season, head development was 32 percentage

points or more behind normal. Overall, 70 percent of the spring wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on

July 3, compared with 68 percent on June 12 and 83 percent from the same time last year.

Rice producers had seeded 99 percent of the rice crop by June 5, on par with last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year

average. In Arkansas, fields were being flooded with 89 percent of the crop emerged. Warmer temperatures in California

promoted increased crop emergence mid-month. By June 19, Nationwide emergence was 97 percent complete, on par

with both last year and the 5-year average. While double-digit progress was evident in California, hot, dry weather limited

seed germination in Texas, where emergence was 14 percentage points behind normal. Heading was underway in the

Lower Delta and Texas by June 26, with progress most advanced in Louisiana. As June ended, rice fields in California

were sprayed with herbicide as producers along the Upper Coast in Texas prepared to begin harvest. Overall, 60 percent

of the rice crop was reported in good to excellent condition on July 3, compared with 59 percent on June 5 and 72 percent

from the same time last year.

With the exception of States where soybean planting was nearing completion, nearly ideal weather conditions and

producers switching their focus from corn to beans allowed for double-digit progress during early June. By June 12,

producers had planted 87 percent of this year’s crop, 3 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind

the 5-year average. In Iowa, warmer temperatures and sunshine promoted rapid crop growth. Favorable fieldwork

conditions continued much of the month, and by June 26, producers had planted 97 percent of the Nation’s crop, slightly


ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Blooming was underway in 17 of the 18 major estimating States by July 3,

but progress was behind normal. Overall, 66 percent of the soybean crop was reported in good to excellent condition on

July 3, compared with 67 percent on June 12 but unchanged from the same time last year.

Nationally, 86 percent of this year’s peanut crop was planted by June 5, four percentage points behind last year and

slightly behind the 5-year average as producers in many areas were waiting as long as possible to begin or continue

planting in hopes of increased rainfall and soil moisture. As of June 19, planting was complete or nearly complete in all

major estimating States except Alabama where unusually dry soils left many fields in need of soaking moisture and led to

the need for some replanting. Pegging was underway in seven of the eight major peanut-producing States by June 19.

Scattered rainfall in portions of the Southeast helped to improve crop conditions in areas, but peg development remained

behind normal. By July 3, twenty-six percent of the peanut crop was pegging, 11 percentage points behind last year and

5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 30 percent of the peanut crop was reported in good to excellent

condition on July 3, compared with 29 percent on June 12 and 72 percent from the same time last year.

By June 5, twenty-eight percent of the sunflower crop was planted, 23 percentage points behind last year and

29 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Improved weather conditions allowed for increased fieldwork in the four

major estimating States mid-month. By July 3, producers had planted 93 percent of this year’s crop, 5 percentage points

behind the 5-year average. Although some fields in North Dakota remained wet, mostly sunny skies afforded producers

time to complete some fieldwork at month’s end.

As the month began, cotton planting was most active in Tennessee, where warm temperatures and sunny skies provided

nearly a week of days suitable for fieldwork. By June 5, producers had planted 87 percent of the Nation’s crop,

3 percentage points behind last year but on par with the 5-year average. In Texas, producers planted dryland fields in the

Plains to meet insurance deadlines. While warm temperatures promoted rapid square development in Arizona, Louisiana,

and Virginia mid-month, hot, windy weather coupled with mostly short to very short soil moisture levels damaged

portions of the cotton crop in the High Plains of Texas. Nationally, 21 percent of the crop was at or beyond the squaring

stage by June 19, five percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Above

average temperatures continued across the South throughout much of June, aiding rapid crop development in many

cotton-producing States. Bolls were setting on 9 percent of the country’s cotton acreage by June 26, two percentage points

ahead of last year but on par with the 5-year average. Conversely, poor seed germination and emergence of dryland cotton

in areas of the Texas Plains left crop development behind normal. By July 3, squaring was 49 percent complete,

13 percentage points behind last year and 6 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 28 percent cotton crop

was reported in good to excellent condition on July 3, compared with 28 percent on June 12 and 65 percent from the same

time last year.

Ninety-six percent of the sugarbeet crop was planted by June 5, four percentage points behind both last year and the

5-year average.

Crop Comments

Oats: Production is forecast at 56.6 million bushels, down 30 percent from 2010. If realized, this will be the lowest

production on record, surpassing the previous record low set last year. Based on conditions as of July 1, the average yield

for the United States is forecast at 60.5 bushels per acre, down 3.8 bushels from 2010. Growers expect to harvest

934,000 acres for grain or seed, unchanged from the previous forecast but down 26 percent from last year. If realized, this

will be smallest harvested area on record, also surpassing the previous record low set last year. Compared with 2010, yield

decreases are expected in 13 of the 17 estimating States.

Overall, the oat crop has developed behind the normal pace this year in most of the nine major producing States. However

as June began, seeding was complete or nearly complete in all but North Dakota and Ohio, where prolonged wet

conditions delayed progress. Due to unfavorable weather conditions, crop emergence was also slow during the month

throughout much of the major producing regions. As of July 3, two-thirds o
