Forage Production

Forage production is the sum of all dry hay production and haylage/greenchop production after converting thehaylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent basis (13 percent moisture) by multiplying the green weight (weightat harvest) by .4943. The conversion factor (.4943) is based on the assumption that one ton of dry hay is .87 ton of drymatter, one ton of haylage is .45 ton dry matter and one ton of greenchop is .25 ton dry matter. The totalhaylage/greenchop production is assumed to be comprised of 90 percent haylage and 10 percent greenchop. Therefore,the conversion factor used to adjust haylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent basis = ((.45*.9)+(.25*.1))/.87= .4943. The factors assumed here may vary by State and can be adjusted. Adjustments would result in a slightlydifferent conversion factor.

2002 U.S. Weather Summary

Highlights: According to the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), most of the country was abnormally warmonce again in 2002, resulting in this being one of the warmest 15 years since records began in 1895. Below-averageprecipitation led to persistent or worsening drought for much of the nation, although a series of storms endeddrought across the East Coast by year’s end, and wet conditions prevailed from the lower Mississippi Valley intothe Tennessee and Ohio River Valleys for much of the year. Major flooding hit south-central Texas this summer. Drought affected farm areas in the High Plains this spring and summer, but several timely frontal passages in Julyand August prevented drought from becoming widespread over the Corn Belt. Six states–Wyoming, Nebraska,Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Arizona–recorded one of the driest 7 years on record, with Colorado recording itsdriest year ever.

Winter (December 2001-February 2002): Winter 2001-2002 was generally mild and tranquil, with less than normalsnowfall, although there were some notable exceptions. A series of early winter storms crossed the Northwest fromWashington and Oregon into Idaho and northern California, ending drought across most of the region. In contrast,precipitation was scarce across the plains of Montana and southward through Wyoming and Colorado. Extraordinarily dry weather covered the Southwest from southern California through Arizona and New Mexico. Cumulative precipitation from the Southwest through the Rockies into the High Plains totaled less than 50% ofnormal. Nationally, this was the ninth mildest winter (December- February) on record, as nearly the entire countryeast of the Continental Divide experienced above-normal warmth. Temperatures for the 3-month period averaged 5to 10 degrees F above normal over the Midwest and Northeast. Ten states in the northeastern quadrant of thecountry measured their mildest winter on record.

For the central and eastern parts of the country, the pattern featured mild weather with little snow, the mainexception being parts of the Great Lakes region, which saw heavy lake-effect snows. A marked dearth of winterstorms led to near-record dryness from Maine to Georgia, resulting in unseasonably low groundwater, lake, andstream levels. Precipitation from the mid-Atlantic region to the Gulf Coast totaled less than 75% of normal, withseveral areas recording under 50% of normal. New Jersey and Maryland measured their driest winter of record.

Despite a major snowstorm during the first few days of January that swept across the Southeast, most locations eastof the Continental Divide registered meager snowfall amounts this season. The New York City-Washington urbancorridor saw only 3 to 5 inches of snow for the entire snow season. New York City's 3.5 inches was its secondlowest snowfall total on record.

The most damaging and expensive storm of the winter season spread rain, ice, and snow from New Mexico toMaine from January 30 to February 1. A thick layer of ice toppled trees and power lines and left hundreds ofthousands of customers without power in Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The storm did, however, bring much-needed moisture to the Plains’ wheat crop. The cold air associated with the storm left the northern High Plains’winter wheat crop exposed to temperatures as low as -20F.

Spring (March-May): Wintry weather finally took hold over most of the nation during March, and an active stormpattern brought normal precipitation to many areas along the East Coast for the first time since August orSeptember. This was the second coldest March in the past 20 years nationally. Monthly temperatures averaged 10to 20 degrees F below normal across the northern Plains. Following March, extremes of temperature alternatedduring the rest of the spring, but Montana still ended up with its fourth coldest spring since 1895. Record heatenveloped the country during the middle of April, sending mercury readings into the 90s across the Midwest andNortheast. Some 300 daily record high temperature records were set during April 14-20.

Only a few weeks later, a dramatic change in circulation brought polar air southward from Canada, resulting infrigid air covering a large expanse of the nation and nearly 500 low temperature records during May 17-25. Anumber of locations from the Tennessee Valley into the mid-Atlantic region registered their latest freezes on recordduring this cold snap. The seesaw continued as days later, a ridge of high pressure building up over the Southwestbrought extreme heat to the West and Plains. Temperatures soaring into the 90s and 100s during May 30 to June 1broke some 250 daily records and three dozen May monthly records.

Tornado alley was relatively quiet this spring, due to abnormally dry weather in the central parts of the country. But there were a number of outbreaks of severe weather from late spring into summer. About 50 tornadicthunderstorms hit central and eastern parts of the country during the last 10 days of April. One of the strongest EastCoast tornadoes on record, an F4, struck La Plata, Maryland on the 28th. The tornado was part of a storm systemthat brought heavy precipitation to many areas, including up to 20 inches of snow in Wisconsin.

Abnormally high pressure aloft kept southern Alaska unusually dry this spring, with the greatest deficits in thePanhandle. Although Anchorage recorded its all-time record 24-hour snowfall (26.7 inches) on March 16-17, mostof the rest of the state saw dry conditions this month, especially across the south. Juneau saw its second driest


April, with 0.47 inches (15% of normal) of precipitation. Spring precipitation totaled less than 50% of normalacross the Panhandle.

Drought intensified over the Southwest, Rockies, and High Plains, as 3-month precipitation totaled under 50% ofnormal across much of this region. Less than 25% of normal precipitation fell over the plains of Colorado, NewMexico, Arizona, southern California, and southern and eastern Utah. Colorado recorded its driest spring onrecord, and Arizona measured its second driest. The 12-month period ending in May was the driest ever for bothstates.

In contrast, the Midwest saw above-normal wetness, with spring precipitation 150% of normal across much of theOhio Valley. Indiana saw its third wettest spring on record. Repeated rounds of heavy rain led to persistentlowland flooding from the southeastern Plains to the Ohio Valley during May, when more than a foot of rain fell onparts of Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri. Heavy rains led to significant fieldwork delays in the Corn Belt.

Summer (June-August): Heat and dryness contributed to huge wildfires in Colorado and Arizona from late springinto early summer and an active fire season throughout the West this year. Five western states–Nevada, Utah,Arizona, California, and Colorado–measured one of the five driest summers since 1895. This was the driest firsthalf of a year (January-June) on record in Arizona, Utah, and Colorado.

By the end of June, wildfires had burned 2.8 million acres across the country, with most of the acreage in theparched West. Record large fires burned in Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon this spring and summer. Nationally,fires burned 7.1 million acres by year’s end, nearly double the 10-year average. This was the second worst fire yearin the past 14 years. Summer rainfall totaled less than one-half of normal from western South Dakota to eastern Kansas and over largeparts of Colorado and the other western states. But heavy rain and snow relieved drought in northern Montana inJune, resulting in summer rainfall more than twice normal.

In late June, drought indices showed some 50% of the contiguous United States in drought, with severe droughtcovering nearly 40% of the country. Over one-quarter of the nation endured extreme drought, primarily theSouthwest and the southeastern Piedmont areas. In addition, abnormal dryness covered about one-half of Alaskaand lingered over parts of Hawaii. The last time severe drought covered a larger area occurred during themid-1950s mini-dust bowl era.

One area with a quickly disappearing drought this year was south-central Texas, as an upper-level low pressuresystem delivered torrential rains from the end of June into the first week of July. Over a foot of rain broughtdevastating floods to the San Antonio region, with thousands of people displaced from their homes. San Antoniomeasured 16.16 inches of rain from June 30 to July 6, and the city's monthly total of 16.92 inches (833% of normal)was by far its wettest July total ever.

Strong thunderstorms also brought widespread flooding to North Dakota and western Minnesota in June, resultingin considerable crop and property damage. A series of heat waves affected the country at various times this summer. Much of the nation sweltered from June29 to July 4 as the Bermuda High pumped tropical air northward. Bismark, North Dakota set an all-time high markwith 111 degrees F on June 29. On Independence Day, temperatures neared triple digit levels in the mid-Atlanticregion. Both Baltimore and Richmond registered maximum readings of 100 degrees F.

Cold fronts brought cooler air to central and eastern parts of the country temporarily after July 4, but the heatcontinued in the West, with July 10 entering the record books as one of the hottest days in recent history across theinterior Pacific states and the western Great Basin. Readings reached 115 degrees F in the Sacramento Valley andexceeded 100 degrees F as far north as Washington. Reno, Nevada's maximum of 108 degrees F on July 10 was itsall-time highest, and this record was tied just one day later. During July 7-14, triple-digit heat broke more than 500daily high temperature records and numerous all-time highs.

In the Plains, extreme heat further aggravated drought conditions in July. During the 15th to 21st, thermometersfrom South Dakota to Kansas hit the century mark each day. Omaha, Nebraska reached 104 degrees F on the 22ndbefore a cold front brought temporary relief. Another heat wave covered central and northeastern parts of thecountry in late July and early August, followed by a return of the heat to the Northeast in mid-August. WashingtonDC recorded eight consecutive days of 95-degree or higher temperatures from August 12th to 19th, tying a recordfor the longest stretch of 95-degree readings.

Nationally, this was the third hottest summer (June-August) in over 100 years of record, only exceeded by thesummers of 1934 and 1936. The hot weather aggravated drought in many areas, especially the East and the westernPlains states, significantly cutting crop yields. Although several bouts of showers eased dryness over most of the


Corn Belt, summer rainfall totaled less than 75% of normal over southern parts of Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan,and across much of Ohio. A dry pocket in northwestern Ohio saw less than 50% of normal rainfall. Hot, dryconditions in July severely stressed reproductive to filling crops in the westernmost Corn Belt. Autumn (September-November): Twelve named tropical storms formed in the Atlantic basin during 2002, fourbecoming hurricanes. The two most notable storms took quite similar tracks from the Gulf of Mexico into thecentral Gulf states. In late September, Isidore slammed into southern Mississippi at tropical storm strength, itsremains bringing tropical deluges of 2 to 8 inches as far north as the Ohio Valley. On October 3, Hurricane Lili, thefirst storm to make landfall at hurricane strength since 1999, hit the central coast of Louisiana, bringing wind guststo 92 mph and inundating low-lying areas. As with Isidore, tropical rains extended far northward into the OhioValley.

October brought a change in the weather pattern to most of the country, as the Bermuda High responsible for muchof the summer heat retreated and the westerlies dropped southward, allowing cold Canadian air to penetrate theU.S. October 2002 was nearly opposite to October 2001, with below-normal temperatures and bouts of rain andsnow affecting many states. One nor'easter early in the month ended many aspects of the long-term drought acrossthe Eastern Seaboard, lifting water tables and adding substantially to reservoir levels. Tropical Storm Kyle, whichhad been meandering around the Atlantic for nearly 3 weeks, grazed the South Carolina coast on October 10-11,further eating away at the long-term drought.

October brought an early winter to many parts of the nation, as Canadian high pressure plunged southward. By thelast day of the month, minimum temperatures hit sub-zero levels from Oregon to North Dakota, and dipped to -11degrees F in Montana.

The stormy weather pattern lasted through year's end, virtually ending the long-term drought over the EasternSeaboard, but bringing violent weather to some areas.

Cold air behind an intense cold front sweeping across the central parts of the country clashed with unseasonablymild and humid air in the East on November 10, setting the stage for the year's deadliest outbreak of severe weather. Tornadoes in seven states from Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia northward to Ohio and Indiana left 36 peopledead. From late Sunday on the 10th through Monday the 11th, there were more than 70 tornadoes, 250 damagingwind events, and 160 large hail occurrences from Louisiana across the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys to Pennsylvaniaand Georgia.

A few days earlier, a huge Pacific storm hit the Pacific states with a barrage of wind, waves, rain, and mountainsnows. The first major storm of the season slammed the western states from November 7 to 9, bringing wind gustsof 55 mph to the San Francisco area and 2 to 3 feet of snow to the Sierra Nevada. The 2- to 4-inch rainfall amountsthat covered large parts of California, Oregon, and Nevada constituted a big portion of the normal annual rainfall insome of the more arid locations. But the moisture was not entirely unwelcomed, as it put a big dent in the ongoingdrought. Downtown Los Angeles recorded 2.31 inches of rain during the storm, more than the city received duringthe entire year-to-date through November 6 (1.61 inches). Nevertheless, even with the heavy rain, the city'syear-to-date total through November 10 of 3.92 inches was just 31 percent of normal. The 12 months endingOctober were coastal southern California's driest such period since at least 1895.

Nor'easters brought heavy rain, snow, or ice to the Eastern Seaboard on November 5-6 and 16- 17, further eatingaway at any lingering drought. The freezing rain that fell on New England on Saturday the 16th turned into a majorice storm for Connecticut.

Conditions were abnormally dry north and west of the storm track this autumn. Reduced soil moisture and bouts ofcool weather hindered winter wheat establishment across the northern and central Plains and the Northwest. Precipitation during the 3-month period totaled under 50% of normal from Michigan into northeast Oklahoma. InIllinois, Peoria recorded only 34% of its normal September-November precipitation, setting a record for the city’sdriest autumn. Most of Washington and Oregon recorded less than 50% of normal precipitation.

December: One of the most damaging ice storms of the year took place on December 4. Freezing rain fell fromsouthern Virginia to northern Georgia, with the Carolinas bearing the brunt of the ice storm. A layer of ice one-halfto one-inch thick toppled trees and power lines, leaving 1.5 million customers without power in North Carolina andmany others in the dark in South Carolina. The same storm spread 5 to 8 inches of snow from Washington DC toNew York City on the 5th, resulting in more snow in one day than the I-95 corridor saw during the entire2001-2002 winter season.

A number of Pacific storms pelted the West Coast states with strong winds, heavy rain, and mountain snows duringDecember, the largest bearing down on Washington, Oregon, and California from the 13th to the 16th. This stormdropped 7 inches of rain near San Francisco and brought river flooding to northern California. Winds gusted to 90


mph along the Oregon coast. Winds measured at 82 mph caused major property damage to Reno, Nevada on the14th. Another Pacific storm a few days later brought street flooding to San Francisco.

The storm that brought flooding to California on December 19-20 developed into a massive winter storm thatbrought a large swath of wintry weather from the Plains to the Northeast on December 23-25. The storm left 6 to12 inches of snow from western Oklahoma and northern Texas to southern Missouri on the 23rd to 24th andtriggered severe thunderstorms in eastern Texas and southern Georgia. Coastal development led to an intensenor'easter on Christmas Day, resulting in 1 to 2 feet of snow from Pennsylvania through upstate New York intoNew England.

Still more storms struck the West Coast the last few days of the year. At Squaw Valley in California, snow depthrose to 122 inches on the last day of the year, and winds gusted on top to 111 mph. For the month, many Tahoelocations accumulated 10 to 15 feet of snow. Along the Pacific coast, rainfall exceeded 2 feet this month fromnorthern California into southwestern Oregon.

Dry weather persisted across the upper Midwest, as precipitation totaled under one-half of normal from Nebraska tothe Great Lakes. In Nebraska, Omaha recorded no precipitation for the entire month. In Missouri, Kansas Citymeasured only 0.03 inches, tying the record for the driest December. For the first time ever, Des Moines, Iowa,failed to receive measurable monthly precipitation.

2002 Annual Crop Summary

April: A stormy weather pattern delayed fieldwork and planting along a narrow band that extended fromnortheastern Texas through the southern Corn Belt and into the Northeast. Elsewhere, fieldwork and plantingdelays were shorter and less frequent in the western Corn Belt, Great Plains, and Southeast. Along the AtlanticCoastal Plain, planting delays were primarily due to moisture shortages. Meanwhile, below-normal temperatureshampered winter wheat development in the Corn Belt and central Great Plains early in the month, but above-normaltemperatures stimulated growth after midmonth. On the northern High Plains, temperatures averaged wellbelow-normal and many winter wheat fields were still dormant at the end of the month. In the southern GreatPlains, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast, unseasonably hot weather promoted winter wheat development,although moisture shortages limited vegetative growth in some areas. Late-month warmth also aided germinationand emergence of early-planted row crops in the Corn Belt, Great Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast.

May: Planting progress was slow in the southern, central, and eastern Corn Belt during May, as a wet weatherpattern persisted across the area. Corn and soybean planting lagged two to four weeks behind the 5-year average inmany areas east of the Mississippi River, but progressed ahead of normal across most of the northern and westernCorn Belt and Great Plains, where precipitation was lighter and less frequent. Elsewhere, dry weather supportedcotton planting in the Southeast during May, although soils were too dry to germinate seeds in some areas along theAtlantic Coastal Plain. Below-normal temperatures delayed emergence and hindered growth of spring plantedcrops and winter grains in the northern Great Plains and Corn Belt during most of the month. In the southern GreatPlains and Southeast, seasonal and above-normal temperatures quickly ripened winter grains and promoteddevelopment of spring crops where adequate soil moisture was available.

June: Hot weather quickly ripened winter wheat fields in the southern Great Plains and promoted rapid emergenceand growth of row crops in the central Great Plains and Corn Belt. In the western Corn Belt, row crops developeddeep root systems that compensated for below-normal precipitation and late-month heat. Farther east, near-normalprecipitation maintained corn and soybean conditions in the middle and upper Mississippi Valley, but late-planted,shallow-rooted crops in the eastern Corn Belt were stressed by sudden heat and moisture shortages. In the southernGreat Plains, favorably dry weather aided harvest of mature winter wheat fields, while increasing moistureshortages stunted growth of less advanced fields on the central and northern Great Plains. In the South, heavy rainsboosted soil moisture reserves and maintained crop conditions along the western Gulf Coast. Interior areas of thelower Mississippi Valley and most of the Southeast also received beneficial precipitation, but amounts variedconsiderably. Abnormally dry weather stressed crops on the Atlantic Coastal Plain and delayed planting andhampered emergence and growth on the southern High Plains. In the Southwest, producers irrigated crops tomaintain healthy development.

July: Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid phenological crop development across most of the Nation duringJuly, but moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth and stressed reproductive crop development in many areas. Crops in the central Great Plains, Ohio Valley, eastern Corn Belt, Atlantic Coastal Plain, and Pacific Northwestwere stressed most by the hot, dry weather. Crop conditions also fell in the western Corn Belt, but many fieldsremained healthy due to well developed root systems. Meanwhile, crops along the Gulf Coast and adjacent areas ofthe interior southern Great Plains, lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast benefited from above-normalprecipitation. Adequate rainfall also aided crop development through much of the central and upper MississippiValley. In Texas, a series of strong storms produced damaging winds, hail, and flooding. Severe storms alsodamaged crops in the northern Red River Valley. Harvest of winter wheat and spring-sown small grains progressed


with few delays in the Corn Belt and Great Plains. Rain periodically interrupted harvest of mature summer cropsalong the Gulf Coast.

August: Widespread rains boosted vegetative growth and aided grain-filling crops across much of the Corn Belt,especially after midmonth. In the western Corn Belt and adjacent areas of the Great Plains, total precipitation forthe month was above normal, but many corn and soybean fields were too mature to significantly benefit from theground-soaking rains. In the Ohio River Valley and eastern Corn Belt, crop conditions deteriorated, as unfavorablyhot, dry weather persisted. The small grain harvest continued on the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest,although cool weather slowed ripening and limited the harvest pace, especially on the High Plains. Also, harvest ofcotton, rice, and other mature crops remained active along the Gulf Coast most of the month, despite occasional raindelays. Harvest gradually expanded northward into adjacent areas of the southern Great Plains and interiorMississippi Delta. Late-month storms boosted soil moisture supplies on the Atlantic Coastal Plain, but hot, dryweather stressed crops most of the month.

September: Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid maturation of the Nation’s crops during September and thefall harvest pace gradually gained momentum. In the Corn Belt, harvest was mostly confined to areas along theMissouri and Ohio River Valleys until after midmonth. On the northern Great Plains, mostly dry weather aided thespring small grain harvest and supported rapid seeding of the winter wheat crop. Dry weather also permitted rapidwinter wheat seeding on the central and southern Great Plains most of the month. Rain delayed seeding nearmidmonth, but provided much-needed moisture for germinating seeds in planted fields. Near the end of the month,Tropical Storm Isidore delivered several inches of precipitation in a broad area bordered by the Mississippi andOhio Rivers on the west and north, and the Atlantic Coastal Plain to the east. The widespread rain halted harvestprogress along the Gulf Coast and through much of the Appalachians, but also eased moisture shortages in the OhioValley.

October: Widespread, heavy rain curtailed corn and soybean harvests in the western Corn Belt and winter wheatseeding in the central Great Plains early in the month, but mostly dry weather favored progress during the rest of themonth. Along the Gulf Coast and adjacent inland areas of the southern Great Plains, Mississippi Delta, andSoutheast, wet weather hampered harvest of cotton, peanut, rice, and sorghum fields most of the month. Periods oflight precipitation provided adequate moisture for germinating winter wheat in the eastern Corn Belt and the GreatPlains, but cold weather and moisture shortages limited germination and growth in parts of the central and northernGreat Plains. Dry weather supported field and orchard work in the Pacific Coast States.

November: Row crop harvest continued with only brief rain delays in the Corn Belt but remained slow across mostof the South due to persistent rain. Above-normal temperatures stimulated germination and growth of winter wheaton the central and northern Great Plains most of the month, although moisture shortages limited development inmany areas. Meanwhile, mild temperatures and adequate topsoil moisture aided winter wheat development in theCorn Belt and southern Great Plains. In the West, one strong storm delivered much-needed precipitation along thePacific Coast, but total precipitation for November remained far below-normal in the interior Pacific Northwest. Inthe Southwest, above-normal temperatures promoted development of fruit and vegetable crops, winter grains, andforages. In the Florida Panhandle, late-month frost and unseasonably cold weather halted growth of forages, butcitrus groves in the Peninsula remained in good condition.

Corn: Grain production is estimated at 9.01 billion bushels, virtually unchanged from the November forecast butdown 5 percent from the 9.51 billion bushels produced in 2001. The average U.S. grain yield is estimated at130.0 bushels per acre, 2.4 bushels above the November forecast but down 8.2 bushels from 2001. Yields for grainare down from last year in many areas of the U.S. as drought persisted during the growing season, particularly inthe central and northern Great Plains and eastern Corn Belt. However, record yields were established in Iowa andMinnesota as growing conditions were more favorable. Yields are also up in Wisconsin and Michigan with morefavorable growing conditions than 2001.

Planted area totaled 79.1 million acres, 4 percent above last year. Corn planted area is up in all but 14 States. Nineof the 14 States are down from last year and 5 are unchanged. Area harvested for grain, at 69.3 million acres, is up1 percent from 2001. Farmers harvested 7.49 million acres for silage, a 22 percent increase from last year. Thenumber of acres abandoned this year also increased to 2.25 million acres, up significantly from the 796,000 acresabandoned in 2001.

Corn silage production is estimated at 105 million tons, 3 percent above the 2001 level. Silage yield decreased to14.0 tons per acre, 2.6 tons below last year’s yield of 16.6 tons per acre. Silage area increased due to drought inmany States causing fewer acres being harvested for grain and more area harvested for silage.

Drier than normal weather in the spring provided good planting conditions for farmers in the northern and westernCorn Belt, central Great Plains, Southeast, and Atlantic Coastal Plains. However, eastern Corn Belt farmersexperienced frequent planting delays due to persistent precipitation, especially in Indiana and Ohio. Germinationand emergence during the end of April and beginning of May were hampered throughout the Corn Belt by excess


moisture in the east and cold weather in the west. However, hot weather by the end of May and into Junestimulated growth and improved color in emerged fields across much of the Corn Belt, but planting and emergencewere still behind normal.

High temperatures and moisture shortages in July stressed the corn crop during the critical pollination stage in manyareas of the U.S. which eventually caused ears not to fill at all or to develop at varying degrees. However, farmersin Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin did receive timely rainfall during this period to allow for goodpollination.

Fields progressed to the dough and dent stages ahead of normal in most areas and well ahead of normal in Iowa andNebraska. However, crop development lagged slightly behind normal in Indiana and Ohio. Higher than normaltemperatures also added to crop stress and pushed some fields toward early ripening along the Ohio River Valleyand Atlantic Coastal Plains.

Above normal temperatures and dry weather during the first half of October quickly ripened late-maturing fieldsaround the Great Lakes and eastern Corn Belt which allowed producers to make good harvest progress. Harvestprogress was slowed in the western Corn Belt and Great Plains due to heavy rainfall at the beginning of October. After mid-month, producers experienced only brief delays due to light rain and snow. Harvest progress in Iowa andMinnesota, as well as adjacent parts of the Great Plains, was well behind normal throughout the month. However,persistent dry weather allowed harvest to progress well ahead of normal in Indiana and Ohio. Harvest in Novemberfinished slightly behind the average pace.

The 2002 Corn objective yield data recorded ear counts per acre for the combined seven objective yield States(Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin) were down from last year. Ear counts were atrecord high levels in Iowa while the remaining States were down from 2001.

Sorghum: Grain production in 2002 is estimated at 370 million bushels, down 3 percent from the Novemberforecast and down 28 percent from 2001. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 7.30 million acres, down15 percent from 2001. Average grain yield, at 50.7 bushels per acre, is 9.2 bushels below the 2001 average yield.

Silage production is estimated at 3.36 million tons, down 10 percent from 2001. Area cut for silage is352,000 acres, 5 percent more than the previous year. Silage yields averaged 9.5 tons per acre, down 1.6 tons peracre from last year.

Kansas continues to lead the Nation in sorghum planted and harvested acres and production for grain but Texasleads the Nation for silage production. Texas and Oklahoma were the only two major sorghum producing Statesthat showed an increase in grain yield from the previous year. Severe drought conditions in Kansas, Colorado, andNebraska caused a higher than normal abandonment of sorghum acres and significantly reduced grain yields andproduction from last year.

Oats: Production is estimated at 119 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2002 Summary, but abovelast year’s record low 117 million bushels. The estimated yield is 56.8 bushels per acre, 4.6 bushels below 2001. Area for harvest is estimated at 2.10 million acres, up 10 percent from a year ago.

Barley: Production is estimated at 227 million bushels, unchanged from the Small Grains 2002 Summary, butdown 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 3.3 bushels from 2001. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 4.14 million acres,4 percent below a year ago, and is the lowest level since 1898.

Wheat: All wheat production for 2002 totaled 1.62 billion bushels, 17 percent below last year, and less than1 percent lower than the Small Grains 2002 Summary. This is the lowest production since 1972. Grain area is45.8 million acres, down 6 percent from last year and the smallest area harvested since 1970. The U.S. yield is35.3 bushels per acre, down 4.9 bushels from a year earlier. All updates to the Small Grains 2002 Summary werepreviously published in the November 2002 Crop Production report.

The 2002 winter wheat production totaled 1.14 billion bushels, the lowest level since 1970. This is down16 percent from the 2001 level. The U.S. yield decreased 5.0 bushels from the previous year to 38.5 bushels peracre. Acreage for grain is estimated at 29.7 million acres, down 5 percent from 2001. This is the smallest harvestedarea since 1917. Planted area is 41.7 million acres, up 2 percent from last year.

Other spring wheat production in 2002 totaled 394 million bushels, 23 percent below 2001. Harvested area is13.5 million acres, down 7 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 29.3 bushels per acre, 5.9 bushels below lastseason.


Durum wheat production for 2002 totaled 79.5 million bushels, 5 percent less than last year. Grain area totals2.70 million acres, 3 percent below a year ago. The U.S. yield is estimated at 29.4 bushels per acre, 0.6 bushel peracre below 2001.

Rice: Production of rice in 2002 totaled 211 million cwt, down 2 percent from 2001. Area for harvest, at3.21 million acres, is down 3 percent from 2001. The average yield for all U.S. rice is estimated at 6,578 poundsper acre, 33 pounds below the November 1 forecast. This all rice yield is the highest on record. The previousrecord of 6,496 pounds per acre was set last year.

Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas established new record high yields. The crop overcame planting delaysand two tropical storms during harvest to post the record yields. Adoption of improved rice varieties continues tolead to increased yields.

Long grain rice yielded 6,260 pounds per acre across the nation with U.S. production at 157 million cwt. Mediumgrain rice yielded 7,815 pounds per acre in 2002 with production at 52.2 million cwt. Short grain rice averaged5,615 pounds per acre with production at 1.52 million cwt.

Rye: Production for 2002 is estimated at 6.99 million bushels, up slightly from last year’s record low, andunchanged from the Small Grains 2002 Summary. This is the second lowest production on record. Harvested areatotaled 286,000 acres, 12 percent above 2001. The U.S. yield, at 24.4 bushels per acre, is down 2.9 bushels fromlast year.

Proso Millet: Total 2002 proso millet production is estimated at 2.76 million bushels, down 86 percent from the2001 production of 19.4 million bushels, and is the lowest production since proso millet estimates began in 1999. Yields are also significantly lower in 2002 with the average yield estimated at 12.5 bushels per acre, down20.7 bushels per acre from last year. Severe drought devastated this year’s proso millet as it is mostly a drylandcrop. Soil moisture in many areas was not adequate for germination and more acres were abandoned this yearcompared to normal because of the dry weather. Planted area for the 2002 crop is estimated at 450,000 acres,31 percent below last year. Colorado, Nebraska, and South Dakota all show a decrease in acreage from theprevious year due to the drought conditions.

All Hay: Production for 2002 is estimated at 151 million tons, up slightly from the October 1 forecast but down4 percent from the 2001 total. Acreage harvested, at 64.5 million acres, is down less than 1 percent from theOctober forecast but up 2 percent from 2001. The average yield, at 2.34 tons per acre, is up 0.02 ton from theOctober forecast but down 0.13 ton from the previous year.

Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Production in 2002 totaled 73.8 million tons, down 1 percent from the Octoberforecast and 8 percent below 2001. This is the lowest production since 1968. Harvested area, at 23.1 million acres,is down 4 percent and 3 percent from the October forecast and the previous year, respectively. Yields averaged3.19 tons per acre, up 0.1 ton from the October 1 forecast but down 0.18 ton from the 2001 yield. The severe drought conditions in the northern and central Great Plains and Rocky Mountains lowered harvestedacres from the previous year. South Dakota continues to lead the Nation in harvested acreage, even thoughharvested acres were 600,000 acres lower than last year. Yields in the southern Great Plains and Southwestincreased as a result of favorable growing conditions and extended fall growing season which allowed later thannormal cuttings.

All Other Hay: Production in 2002 totaled 77.1 million tons, up 2 percent from the October 1 forecast and up1 percent from the 2001 total. Area for harvest, at 41.4 million acres, is up 2 percent from the October forecast and4 percent above last year. The average yield is estimated at 1.86 tons per acre compared to 1.93 tons per acre lastyear. Severe drought conditions during the summer resulted in the release of Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) landfor hay harvest. The majority of the CRP land released was located in the northern and central Great Plains. NorthDakota increased harvested acres by 750,000 from last year, to 1.85 million, which is the highest since 1991. In theTennessee Valley and Southeast, tropical storms brought relief to drought-stressed hay fields. Production increasedgreatly from last year in Texas and Oklahoma due to the excellent growing conditions and extended fall growingseason.

Forage: Eight States participate in the forage estimation program, which measures annual production of foragecrops not reported as dry hay, with an emphasis on total alfalfa production. Acres, yield, and production arereported for haylage and greenchop together, and for total forage production. Haylage and greenchop production isconverted to 13 percent moisture and combined with dry hay production to derive the total forage production.


Wisconsin accounts for over one-third of the haylage and greenchop produced in the reporting States, even thoughtheir harvested acres decreased by 200,000.

New Seedings of Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixture: Growers seeded 3.30 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixturesduring 2002. This is up 1 percent from the 2001 seeded acreage of 3.26 million acres. The new seedings of alfalfaand alfalfa mixtures will normally be harvested for the first time in the year following planting.

Peanuts: Production of peanuts in 2002 totaled 3.32 billion pounds, down 22 percent from last year’s crop anddown 5 percent from the November 1 forecast. Planted area for the U.S., at 1.36 million acres, was down12 percent from 2001. Harvested area totaled 1.30 million acres, down 8 percent from 2001. The U.S. yield perharvested acre averaged 2,561 pounds, down 468 pounds from 2001.

Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina) totaled 1.91 billion pounds,down 24 percent from 2001. Area planted in the region totaled 806,000 acres, down 1 percent from 2001. Harvested acres, at 784,700, were down 3 percent from 2001. The average yield for the Southeast area was2,433 pounds per acre, 702 pounds below last year.

Production from the Virginia-North Carolina area totaled 330 million pounds, down 44 percent from 2001. Plantedacres, at 159,000, were down 20 percent from 2001. Harvested acres, at 157,000, were down 21 percent from 2001. The average yield per harvested acre in the Virginia-North Carolina region, at 2,100 pounds, was down 894 poundsfrom 2001.

The Southwest peanut crop (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) totaled 1.08 billion pounds, down 7 percentfrom 2001. Planted acres, at 393,000, were down 25 percent from 2001. Harvested acres, at 355,000, were down13 percent from 2001. Yields in the tri-state area averaged 3,047 pounds per acre, 210 pounds above 2001.

Canola: Production in 2002, is 1.55 billion pounds, down 22 percent from the record production in 2001. Canolayield, at 1,218 pounds, decreased 156 pounds from last year. Decreases in both harvested acres and yieldcontributed to the decline in production. Area planted to canola is estimated at 1.46 million acres, 2 percent belowlast year’s acreage. Harvested area, at 1.28 million acres, is down 12 percent from 2001. Production in NorthDakota, the leading State, is estimated at 1.43 billion pounds, down 21 percent from 2001. This decrease is due to afrost in late May combined with damaging winds.

Sunflower: The 2002 sunflower production totaled 2.50 billion pounds, 27 percent below the 2001 production. The estimated yield per acre, at 1,133 pounds, decreased 205 pounds from the previous year. Planted area, at2.59 million acres, is down 2 percent from last year. Harvested acres, at 2.21 million, declined 14 percent from lastyear.

Production in North Dakota, the leading State, is estimated at 1.71 billion pounds, up 16 percent from 2001. Theyield per acre, at 1,300 pounds, is 103 pounds below last year. Planted and harvested acres are up from 2001 by 28and 25 percent, respectively. Wet weather hindered harvest during the last half of October and much of November2002.

Production of oil type sunflower varieties, at 2.07 billion pounds, dropped 26 percent from 2001. Acreageharvested of oil type varieties decreased 11 percent from last year and yield is down 233 pounds.

Production of non-oil sunflower varieties, at 425 million pounds, is down 31 percent from last year. Acreageharvested of non-oil varieties decreased 26 percent from 2001. The yield per acre is 1,154 pounds, 89 poundsbelow a year ago.

Soybeans: Production in 2002 totaled 2.73 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast but6 percent below 2001. The average yield per acre in 2002 is estimated at 37.8 bushels per acre, 0.3 bushel abovethe November 1 forecast but 1.8 bushels below the 2001 yield.

Planted area for the U.S., at 73.8 million acres, is down slightly from 2001. Farmers harvested 72.2 million acres,down 1 percent from 2001. The severe drought conditions in the northern and central Great Plains caused farmersto abandon a much larger amount of acreage than normal. Area planted was increased 715,000 acres from theAugust estimate of 73.0 million acres and area harvested was increased 361,000 acres from the November estimateof 71.8 million acres.

Yields were lower in 2002 due to moisture shortages and high temperatures in the central Great Plains, Ohio Valley,eastern Corn Belt and Atlantic Coast States. However, yields were higher in the Great Lakes, upper MississippiValley, and southern Great Plains as weather conditions were more favorable.


Planting of the 2002 soybean crop was delayed during May, but by the end of June was ahead of normal and 2001. Persistent wet weather in early May stalled planting progress before mid-month in the southern, central, and easternCorn Belt. The lower Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic Coast States completed planting with the fewest weatherdisruptions.

States in the western Corn Belt, central Great Plains, Ohio Valley, and Atlantic Coast experienced very dryconditions during July. By the end of August, crop conditions had deteriorated in the Ohio Valley and eastern CornBelt as hot, dry weather persisted. Conditions around the middle and upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes, andwestern Corn Belt were more favorable during August as milder temperatures and soaking rains promotedvegetative growth and aided reproductive development. Wet conditions were seen across the South and East duringSeptember as the area was frequented by tropical storms.

During October, crop maturity progressed at a rapid pace due to above normal temperatures. As of October 13, thepercent of soybeans dropping leaves had reached 96 percent, matching the 5-year average. Harvest progressedslightly behind normal during October. Scattered precipitation briefly delayed harvest in the Corn Belt and heavyrains hindered harvest in the Delta States, Kentucky, and Tennessee during most of October. Harvest was nearingcompletion by November 17, as 94 percent had been harvested, 4 percentage points behind 2001 and 3 percentagepoints behind the 5-year average.

Final pod counts from the Objective Yield survey are a record high in Minnesota. Final pod counts were lower than2001 in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, and Ohio but Iowa pod counts were higher than 2001.

Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2002 totaled 12.6 million bushels, up 10 percent from the previous year. Theyield is estimated at 17.9 bushels, down 1.9 bushels from last year’s yield and down 2.9 bushels from the recordhigh yield in 2000. The total of 785,000 acres planted is up 34 percent from 2001. Area harvested, at704,000 acres, is a 22 percent increase from 2001.

In North Dakota, the leading flaxseed State, production totaled 12.2 million bushels, up 12 percent from 2001. Growers planted 750,000 acres, an increase of 36 percent from the previous year. Planting was completed ahead oflast year and the five-year average. Area harvested, at 680,000 acres, is 25 percent above 2001. The average yieldper acre in North Dakota is 18.0 bushels, down 2.0 bushels from 2001.

Other Oilseeds: Safflower production, at 298 million pounds, is up 23 percent from 2001. Mustard seedproduction, at 123 million pounds, is more than triple the previous year due to increased acreage. Rapeseedproduction totaled 4.53 million pounds, up 12 percent from 2001.

Rapeseed planted acres are down from 2001 while planted acres for both safflower and mustard seed are up from2001. Safflower growers planted an estimated 219,000 acres, an increase of 16 percent from 2001. Safflowerharvested area is estimated at 196,000 acres, up 11 percent. Planted area of mustard seed is estimated at191,000 acres, over 3 times the 2001 acreage. Mustard seed harvested area is estimated at 175,000 acres. Rapeseedgrowers planted an estimated 3,400 acres, down 300 acres from last year. Area harvested for rapeseed, at3,100 acres, is unchanged from last year.

The safflower yield, at 1,520 pounds per acre, is 155 pounds above the previous year. Mustard seed averaged705 pounds per acre, 225 pounds below 2001. Rapeseed averaged 1,461 pounds per acre in 2002, up 155 poundsfrom last year.

Cotton: Upland cotton production is estimated at 16.5 million bales, down 1 percent from the December 1 forecastand 16 percent less than last year’s record high production. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is 651 pounds perharvested acre, up 15 pounds from the December 1 forecast but down 43 pounds from last year. This yield increasesince the December 1 forecast is due primarily to decreased harvested acres in numerous States. Harvested acreage,at 12.2 million acres, was decreased 4 percent from last month and is 10 percent below last year. Upland plantedacreage is estimated at 13.7 million acres, down 3 percent from the August estimate and 11 percent less than lastseason. Data from the seven Objective Yield States showed the highest number of bolls, highest average bollweight, and highest loss of the previous five years.

Producers in the Southeastern States had a very challenging season. The upland crop was planted under idealconditions and development progressed ahead of average. However, an abnormally dry, hot summer stressed thecrop and the condition of the crop deteriorated. The heat matured the crop rapidly allowing growers to harvestearlier than normal. Beginning in September, heavy rains delayed harvesting operations. Although the moisturewas welcome, it was too late to help the drought-stressed crop. The untimely rains resulted in some boll rot andseed germination. Frequent showers throughout October further delayed the harvest. During the first half ofNovember, growers were able to re-enter their fields to pick their cotton. However, harvesting was virtually haltedmid-month, as persistent rains returned. The harvest approached completion by early December as dry weatherdominated the region.


Producers in the Delta States had ideal planting conditions until rains during May interrupted the fieldwork. Planting activities continued well into June in Tennessee. Cooler than normal July temperatures and timely rainsboosted the condition of the late maturing crop. Two significant storms moved through the lower Delta regionwithin a two-week period toward the end of September and early part of October. The damage to open bolls waslimited, however, since the crop was considerably behind in maturity. Harvest was well underway by then, butbehind the 5-year average. Unrelenting downpours during the first half of November prevented growers frompicking the cotton. The drier final two weeks of November allowed the harvest to progress, although well behindthe normal pace. Objective yield data show above average boll counts in Arkansas and Mississippi. Arkansas bollweights are below average, but Mississippi boll weights are the highest of the previous fifteen years. Louisiana’sboll counts and weights are the highest since 1994.

Producers in the Southwestern States had a relatively good season. Planting remained active in the southern GreatPlains until mid-June, although progress was occasionally interrupted by rain. Moisture shortages slowed plantingprogress on the High Plains. Warmer than normal temperatures promoted germination and growth where moisturesupplies were adequate. However, fields in the dryland areas of South Texas and the Coastal Bend suffered due toinadequate moisture and excessive heat. Irrigated fields responded well to the weather. Development of the NewMexico and Oklahoma crop progressed well ahead of average, but in Texas the maturity was about average. Harvest was underway by August in central and southern areas of Texas and was wrapping up by the end ofSeptember. The Plains area crop was fully matured by early October and growers began defoliating and harvestingbetween rain showers. Cooler than normal temperatures in September slowed the development of Oklahoma’s cropwhich had been maturing ahead of the average. Rains throughout October and early November delayed harvestingacross the region. Conditions improved later in November and the pace of harvest accelerated rapidly. Data fromthe Objective Yield survey show Texas boll counts are the highest in the last fifteen years and weights are thesecond highest. Record high yields were established in Texas, New Mexico, and Kansas.

Arizona and California upland cotton growers began planting during March under ideal conditions. Cool, springweather in a few areas of California slowed development but warm summer temperatures promoted growth andgood boll retention. The crop was in good to excellent condition throughout the season. Harvest was wellunderway by mid-September and progressed under ideal conditions. Data from the Objective Yield survey showCalifornia boll counts to be the highest in the last fifteen years but the weights are the lowest. A record yield of1,439 pounds per harvested acre was set in California, surpassing the 1,378 pound yield set in 2000.

American-Pima production is estimated at 649,000 bales, up 4,000 bales from the December forecast but down22 percent from last year's output. The U.S. Pima yield is estimated at 1,286 pounds per harvested acre, up3 pounds from last month. This is the largest yield on record, surpassing the previous record of 1,254 poundsestablished last year. Producers planted 243,600 acres of Pima cotton in 2002, down 10 percent from 2001. Thedecrease in planted acreage led to an equivalent decrease in harvested acreage, with 242,300 acres of Pima cottonharvested in 2002. Producers outside of California increased their acreage devoted to Pima cotton by 3,600 acresthis year. However, this increase is more than offset by the 30,000 acre decrease in California due to uncertainty ofwater supplies and lower prices.

The California Pima growers planted their crop under almost ideal conditions. The crop progressed well during theyear despite some early cool spells in late April and early May. Growth of Pima cotton during the summer monthswas good to excellent, with crop progress slightly ahead of average. Insect pressure remained light with the typicalsmall numbers of whiteflies and aphids late in the season. Harvest of California’s Pima cotton began in earlyOctober. By mid-December, virtually the entire crop had been harvested with only a few fields remaining to bepicked a second time.

All cotton ginnings totaled 15,689,050 running bales prior to January 1, compared with 18,759,400 running balesginned to the same date last year and 16,082,850 running bales in 2000.

Cottonseed: Production for 2002, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 6.42 million tons,down 14 percent from last year’s production of 7.45 million tons.

Tobacco: U.S. tobacco production in 2002 totaled 890 million pounds, up less than 1 percent from the October 1forecast but 10 percent below 2001. Growers harvested 430,280 acres in 2002, down 1 percent from the previousforecast and less than 1 percent below last year. Yield per acre averaged 2,068 pounds, a 28 pound increase fromthe October forecast but down 225 pounds from 2001.

Flue-cured production is estimated at 526 million pounds, an increase of 1 percent from the October 1 forecast but9 percent less than last year. Harvested acres totaled 246,100, down 1 percent from the previous forecast but3 percent above 2001. Flue-cured yields averaged 2,137 pounds, an increase of 31 pounds from the Octoberforecast but 295 pounds below 2001.


Burley production totaled 304 million pounds in 2002, virtually unchanged from the October 1 forecast but9 percent below last year. Growers harvested 159,600 acres in 2002, down 1 percent from the previous forecast and3 percent less than last year. Yield per acre averaged 1,904 pounds, up 24 pounds from the October forecast but129 pounds below last year. Factors contributing to the yield decline were drought and disease pressure,particularly black shank.

Sugarbeets: Production is estimated at 27.6 million tons, 2 percent below the November 1 forecast but 7 percentabove last year’s production. Growers in the 12 sugarbeet-producing States harvested 1.36 million acres, slightlyabove the November estimate and 9 percent above last year’s 1.24 million acres. The yield is estimated at 20.3 tonsper acre, 0.4 ton below both the November forecast and the 2001 yield.

The growing season started with late frosts and floods damaging plants in the Red River Valley, while hot, dryweather and irrigation restrictions limited vegetative growth on the High Plains. In Michigan, near normalprecipitation encouraged growth. In late summer, mild temperatures and favorable moisture supplies improvedcrop conditions in the Red River Valley and reduced abandonment. Cooler temperatures on the High Plainsreduced moisture stress improving crop conditions. California had good harvesting conditions. Harvest beganslightly later than normal in the Red River Valley but was aided by dry weather and favorable piling temperaturesduring October. Cold, dry weather also aided harvest in the central and northern High Plains and Pacific CoastStates. In Idaho, harvest progressed later than normal due to late ripening. In Michigan, harvest was delayed bywarm weather but below-normal temperatures late October aided harvest.

Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed for 2002 is estimated at 35.9 million tons, 4 percent abovelast year’s 34.6 million tons. Area harvested and to be harvested for sugar and seed is estimated at 1.03 millionacres for the 2002 crop year, down fractionally from last year. Yield is estimated at 35.0 tons per acre, 1.3 tonsabove 2001.

Louisiana’s area harvested for sugar and seed is unchanged from last year. In Florida, acres harvested, and to beharvested, for sugar and seed is 1 percent below last year’s level. If realized, Florida’s harvested acreage would besecond highest to last year’s record.

The sugarcane crop developed with favorable rains throughout Florida, Louisiana and Texas. Rain hamperedharvests in Louisiana and Texas. Harvests in Hawaii and Florida benefitted from dry weather.

Dry Beans: U.S. dry edible bean production is estimated at 30.0 million cwt for 2002, down 1 percent from theDecember forecast but 53 percent above last year.

Growers cited low prices as the reason for the dropin spearmint acres.

Hops: Hops production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2002 totaled 58.3 million pounds, down 13 percentfrom the 2001 crop of 66.8 million pounds, and 14 percent below the 2000 production of 67.6 million pounds. Production in Washington and Oregon dropped 15 percent and 18 percent, respectively, from 2001. Idaho’sproduction increased 20 percent from a year ago. All three States reduced their acreage in 2002. There is a


6,000 acre drop in Washington due to a grower sponsored, voluntary, acreage reduction program. Yields inWashington and Idaho increased in 2002.

Oregon’s average yielddropped 183 pounds, to 1,692 pounds per acre in 2002.

Washington growers produced 74 percent of the U.S. hops crop for 2002. Columbus/Tomahawk, Zeus, Galena,and Willamette were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 66 percent of the State’s hop crop. Powdery mildew and water supplies were not major concerns in 2002, and alpha yields were higher than normal. In Oregon, Nugget and Willamette acres dropped, but still accounted for 73 percent of Oregon’s hops production.

Maple Syrup: The 2002 U.S. maple syrup production totaled 1.36 million gallons, up 29 percent from 2001 and10 percent above 2000. Compared to 2001, maple syrup production increased in all States except Connecticut,Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

Vermont led all States in production with 495,000 gallons, an increase of 80 percent from last season. Vermontsyrup production accounted for 58 percent of New England’s production and 37 percent of the total United Statesproduction. Maine was second with 230,000 gallons, up 15 percent from 2001. New York’s production, at228,000 gallons, increased 18 percent from last year.

In Massachusetts and New Hampshire, production was up 32 percent and 67 percent, respectively, from last season. Production was also up in Michigan by 10 percent and Wisconsin by 16 percent from 2001. In Connecticut, syrupproduction was down 11 percent compared to last season. Production was also down in Ohio and Pennsylvaniawhere production decreased by 28 percent and 20 percent, respectively, from a year ago.

Production increases in Maine, New York, and Vermont were attributed to favorable weather early in the springwhich resulted in an earlier maple season and good sap flow. In Connecticut and Pennsylvania, temperatures weregenerally too warm at night, resulting in poorer sap flow and lower production.

Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.50 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2002-03 season, up6 percent from the previous crop year. Harvested acreage is estimated at 6,200 acres, down 2 percent from the2001-02 season. Favorable weather conditions, especially in the Kona districts of Hawaii island benefittedflowering. Coffee harvesting is expected to be spread over a longer period compared to last season with improvedquality and larger bean size. Combined production from the other islands is also expected to increase. Most of thisincrease in production will come from Kauai island, which is the only other island expected to show an increase. Maui, Molokai, and Oahu are all expected to harvest less this season.

Taro: Hawaii taro production for crop year 2002 is estimated at 6.10 million pounds, down 5 percent from lastyear. Area harvested, at 430 acres, is down 10 acres from 2001. Early season flooding slowed plant growth whichresulted in a setback of production in major growing areas. Floods also assisted in the spread of the apple snailinfestations.

Ginger Root: Hawaii ginger root production for the 2001-02 season is estimated at 14.4 million pounds, down20 percent from the previous season. Harvested acreage decreased 11 percent to 320 acres from a year ago. Average yield decreased 5,000 pounds from the previous season to 45,000 pounds per harvested acre. Untimelyrains, disease, and low prices all contributed to the drop in production from the previous season.
