Growers Intentions for 1965 ~ spring onions ar~ about 20 percent below 1964. Low prfces received the past two 'i.ears and shortage of labor around harvest has discouraged many growers from planting. I.feather conditIons have been favorable to date
and good stands are reported.

UNITED STATES
Cabbage: The wInter cabbage c'rop is forecast at 7,008,000 hundredweIght, 3. percent above 1904 and 5 percent above average. Harvest In the Zell-
wood area of Florida wIll continue I ight until March. Volume Is expected to increase from all other major producing areas until April when peak production Is usually reached. Head sIze. In all areas has been below average. Harvest of cabbage In Texas was slowed by wet fields in mid-December. The Rio Grande Valley and San AntonIo areas received the heaviest rains. Open weather uurJng the latter part,of the month enabled cutting to resume and movement Increased. Heavy volume i~ expec ted after'mid-January and will continue through March. Stands are generally even and growth of plants has been good. In Arizona, harvest continues In light, to moderate volume In the Salt River Valley and Yuma area. Cutting Is expected to Increase sl,lghtly 'during January. Supplies should be available throughout the winter season. Movement is underway from the ImperIal Valley of California. Supplies from this area are IncreasIng and should peak In February. Steady supplies are available from coastal producing counties with the major portIon comIng from Ventura County.
Onions:, Early spring onIon acreage for harvest In Texas Is estimated at 24,100 acres, 2 percent below last season. Growers have Increased their
acreage In the Rio Grande Valley while decreasIng acreage In the Coastal Bend, Laredo, and Winter Garden areas.
Growers of late sprIng onIons Intend to have 6,900 acre5 for harvest In 1965. If these intentions are realized, the acreage would be I percent below 1~64. In GeorgIa, transplanting was completed around mid-December, much earl ier than usual. Weather condItions have been favorable to date and good stands are reported. In Arizona, growing conditIons have been good and the crop is makIng favorable progress, In California, an Increase In acreage In the Stockton Delta urea is mostly offset by' an expected decrease In Imperial County. Much of the acreage has been planted and Is makIng favorable growth. Stands are generally good. FIrst harvest Is expected In April.
Tomatoes: Florida's winter production of tomatoes Is forecast at 4,181,000 hundredweight, a record hIgh crop, up 28 percent from 1964. Warm
weather Quring most of Oecember aIded ~lant gr~wth but reduced fruIt set. Harvest Is actIve In Uade County and the Pompano vine-ripe area. Volume from the vlne-rlp~ area will continue to Increase Into February. SupplIes from Dade County are expected to !ncrease during January and contInue heavy through February and March~

Watermelons: Growers of late spring watermelons In Florida and California In-
tend to plant 76,800 acres for harvest in 1965. If these intentions are carried out. the acreage would be 10 percent above 1964. Planting In Florida started at Immokalee In November and was very active at Indiantown and other south Florida areas during December. Some planting will continue into January. In central Florida, soil preparation is active and a few acres have been planted in the south portion. Growers In other areas are preparing land when weather conditions permit. In California, about three~fourths of the winter acreage is expected to be in the Desert area of Imperial County. The remaining one-fourth is In the Blythe area of Riverside County. Plantings are expected to continue Into March.

GeorSia's honey production for 1964 Is estimated to be 5,000,000 pounds~-a

decrease of 36 percent from the 1963 production of 7,807,000 pounds. Unfavoiabr~

weather during the main nectar flow and the decrease in number of colonies was main"

2, Iy respori{i.ble for ~he sharp drop in production. Total colonies of bees were esti-
mated to be 200,OOO--down 5 percent from a year ago. Yield per colony averaged

-Pounds,. d6vJn 12 pouhds from the record yield produced In 1:1(;3.

'

Value of the 1964 honey crop is estimated to be $1,030,000 compared with a value of $1,647,000 in 1963. The avera~e price received wa~ 20.6 cents per pound {or'all honey sold, compared with 21.1 cents the year before. Value of beeswax ~ro duce~' amounted to $43,000 com?ared with $59,000 in 1963

Honey Yield and Production ~ from 1363

The number of pounds of honey prouuced in 1964 was'2b~,744,000 pounds, 5 per-
cent below the record output of 299,353,000 pounds in l~u3. Production per colony averaged 50.~ ~ounds ~ompared with ~4.2 for the 1963 season. The 5,611,000 colonies
on hand at the beginning of the 1;J64 :.;easol'l was 2 percent more than a year ear.l i'er. With the price of all. honey averaging 1~.5 cents per pound, the 1964 crop had a ' value of $52,B55,OOO . The 5.343,000 pounds of beeswax was ~ percent less tha~ the 1963, crop.' . /\t an avera,ge of 44. 4 cents ;>er pound, the beeswax output was va I'ued' at

" percent of. the 1964 crop comrared with 21 percent In 1963. Moderate domestic s~fes to date and considerably weaker export market have resulted in higher producer
stocks th i S' yea r.

In some respects the 1964 season was a reversal of the 1963 season. Yield~,

fell drastically in 1964 in !Jtates such as Montana, Idaho, \;/yoming, anp the Dakotas

which had relatively high yields In 1963., In the South '\tlantic region, yie,ld.s in

Turkey gr.owers In Georgia expect to produce 1".322.000 head In 1965 compared
with 1.358.000 in 1964, or a decrease of 3 percent according to the Georgia Crop
~porting Service. Present plans of growers are to decrease production of heavy

Turke't' growers In the United States Intend to produce 4 percent more turkeys in 1965 than last year. Present plans of arowers are to Increase heavy breeds 2 per-
tent with h~avy whites up 12 percent and other heavy br~eds clown 5 percent. For
light breeds an Increase of 13 p(~rcent Is planned. ,1\ssumin!J growers carry out their
Intentions. the 1965 crop for the Nation will be about lO~ million turkeys compared
with the revised "estimate of 99.5 million turkeys raised in 1~64. Increased produc-
tion is planned In all regions of the country except the North Atlantic and the
West. Increases planned are 8 percent in the South Central, 7 percent In the West
North Central,S percent In the South .\tlantlc. and I percent in the East North Cell-
t~l. Decreases of 2 percent are planned In the North ~tlantlc and Western regions.

Growers plan to produce 90.2 million heavy breed turkeys in 1965. 2 percent

IlOre than last year. They plan to raise 43.6 mH I Ion heav"j white breeds, 12 percent

IlOre than the 38.9 million raised last year. Present plans Indicate that heavy

white turkeys will account for about 48 percent of all heavies raised in 1965 com-

pared with 44 percent In 1964 and 3~ percent In 1~63. The expected number of heavy

~Ites to be raised in 19b5 is above last year in all reylons except the North At-

lantl c wh ich \Shows no change.

In 1965 growers intend to raise 46.6 million bronze and other heavy breed tur-
keys compared with 49.1 mill ion in 1~6!-+. light breed producer~ inten~ to r~l~e "13:0
..Illion I ight breed turkeys in 1965, up I) percent from last year.

The number of turkeys actually raised in 1965 may vary somewhat from the Janu-
ary I, 1~65 intentions of growers. Such changes may depend on reactions to this report. price of feed, supply and rrices of hatching eggs and poults and prices received for turkeys during the next few months. On January I, 1964 growers intend
ed to produce 4 percent more turkeys In 1~64 than 1963. The crop turned out to be
7 percent more than In 1963. In recent months. the turkeyfeed price ratios have
~en at slightly less favorable levels than a year earlier.

Testings of all heavy breeds July through December were down 2 percent from the corresponding period in 1963. The JulY"Oecember testings of 1ight breeds were up 18 ~rcent from the same months last year. Testings of breeder5 indicate that hatching e9g supplies will be adequate to permit turkey growers to increase output this year.

Winter~Yege~~: Production of all winter vegetables, estimated at 38.8 million

hundredweight, is 5 percent above, last year and 12 percent

above the 1959-63 average. Supplies in late January were' cUrtailed in Florida by the m1d~onth freeze.

"I
SNAP BEANS: F10ri~ai~ ~~ snap bean orop is estimated at 561, 000.. hundredweight';

the s~e..~as was forecast a month ago. The estimate is 3 percent be~', low last year. The. ~ompano area furnished the majority of bush bean supplies' '::::

during early Januar,y.. Pole beans were being harvested in volume in Dade'\County.'

Frost and freezing 'temperatures during mid-January damaged the crop in both areas: '..

Some fields in, coldest locations were lost in the Pompano area. Pole beans in

. :.-,

Dade County were burned but acreage losses were not heavy. Most of the bush bean ., .....:;

acreage in t,his area was killed. Harvest of bush beans in Pompano and pole beans :,':::':'

1n Dade County continues, but movement was much lighter after the mid-January

freeze.'

CABBAGE: Production of wintIT cabbage is expected to total 6,912,000 hundredweight:-

2 percent above the 1964 crop and J--peroant above the :1959-63 average. '

Volume movement from Florida declined fol10win~ the freeze in mid~January. Damage

varied from light in the Hastings area to heavy in the Everglades area. Harvest ,I

continues from all areas. In Texas, favorable growing conditions r-esulted in

.':

rapid development of the crop in the Rio Grande Valley during January. Adequate ,~,.: '

Bupplies were available throughout January. In the Winter Garden 'area, movement ~ :. ~

declined during the latter part of the month. Late p1anting's in this area will . ."'~'

furnish supplies in March.Shipments from Arizona continued "'in light volume from the ".

Salt River Valley and the Yuma area during January. Warm weather during January

accelerated growth. Light supplies will be available until June. In California,

warm weather in most areas during January aided growth. Volume movement from the

Imperial Valley increased during the month and should peak about mid-Febr~ary. .

Movement from California's coastal counties will increase in February. . , - . :::. ,., :'

If growers' intentions to plant ~_spring cabbage materialize, there will be 7,800 acres for harvest in 1965. This is 9 percent above last year's acreage and 6 percent above average. In Virginia, setting of cabbage plants has been completed on the Eastern Shore and in the Norfolk area; however, cold weather will necessitate some replanting. In North Carolina, planting started in early January and weather was favorable for transplanting most of the month. Growers had an adequate supply of good quality plants and most transplanting will be completed in early February. The fields appear to have a good stand and some of
the early transplanted fields have started to grow.

~T CORN: Production of !~ sweet corn in Florida, estimated at 450,000 hundredweight, is 17 percent above the 1964 crop but 11 percent be-
low the January 1 forecast. Harvest was active in the Pompano, Everglades, and
Fort Myers areas of Florida in January until the freeze in mid-January. Freeze damage was severe in the Everglades. Large acreages were lost and only a few fields in warmer locations remain for harvest. Some acreage was also lost in Pompano and Dade County areas. The Ft. Myers-Immokalee crop was not damaged. Supplies are expected to be light for the next few weeks.

CUCUMBERS: ~~ cucumber production in Florida is forecast at 143,000 hundredweight, 19 percent above last year. Heavy supplies moved during the
~st half of January from the Ft. Myers-Immokalee and Pampano~artin County areas with limited amounts from Dade County. However, freezing temperatures during midJanuary destroyed considerable acreage and d~ged ~uch of the remaining acreage

, ,I
CUCUMBERS: continued:

in these areas. Supplies from the Ft. Myers-Immokalee area were light ,in..la'te " :

January but are expected to increase by mid-February when new acreage comes'i'nto'

production. Movement continues from the Pompano-Martin County and Dade County

areas but at reduced levels.

:

ONIONS: Early spr!n& onions in South Texas areas made satisfactory growth during \
January. Plants are healthy and vigorous and stands are generally good.
In the Rio Grande Valley, warm weather has advanced maturity 3 to 4 weeks over ,,
that of last season. Light shipments ~e expected by the second h~lf.of..~~"ru~rY'., In the Winter Garden area, transplanting of onions continues and is not expected to be camp1~te:until March 1.

Based on growers J intentions, the acreage of early s~ onions for '
harvest in 1965 is expected to total 9,450 acres, 1 percent below last year and
2 percent below average. Acreages are expected to be below last year in ,Iowa and New Mexico and unchanged in New Jersey, Texas, and Washington. In Texas, trans-,
planting is expected' 'to begin in late February in the Trans-Pecos ,and by mid-March
on the High Plains. A small acreage will be direct seeded. Warm,' open winter ' days in New Nexico have prevailed over most of the Grano growing areas. The stands are in good condition. Planting of Sweet Spanish has started. In Washington, acreage suffered a sever'e freeze i,n mid-December in the Walla Walla County. area which accounts for more ~han 9~ percent of early summer acreage.

TOMATOES: The Florida winter tomato crop is forecast at 4,070,000 hundredweight--

a record high--24 percent above 1964. The January 1 forecast was

4,181,000 hundredweight. High temperatures during December and early January ,

limited fruit set and sizing. A mid-January freeze killed some mature green acre-

age tn Dade County where harvest was active and damaged other ~ields. Tops were

killed on tine ripe acreage in the Pompano and Ft. Myers-~okalee areas and

production was reduced but, no acreage was lost~' S'upplies of vine ripes in

February will continue 'to come from the Naples section of the Ft. Myers-Inunokalee

area and from Pompano. Mature green harvest Will continue !n Da:de County. A

few fields in the Ft. Myers-Immokalee area will be harvested fpr, the green market,

in late' February but volume will be light until March.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended February 13 was 1,917,000--2 percent more than in the previous week and 11 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

An estimated 11,061,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-- 2 percent more than in the previous week and 4 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 60 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 66 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $9.00 to $10.50 with an average of $10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 60 cents for eggs and $9.00 for chicks.

The average price reported for broilers during the week ended February 13 was 15.25 cents per pound fob plant compared with 15.25 cents the previous week and 14.75 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-State Market News Service.

January milk production in the United States is estimated at 10,342 million pounds, about 2 percent more than both January 1964 and the previous record high for January set in 1962. The seasonal increase in production from December 1964 to January 1965 was 3.5 percent, slightly less than the increase a year earlier. January milk production provided a daily average of 1.72 pounds per person, the same ratio as in January 1964.
Milk production in January was at least 4 percent above a year earlier in 5 of the 10 leading States--New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and California. In the rest of the leading 10 State production was 1 percent above January a year ago in Pennsylvania and Texas but was below a year earlier in Ohio, Illinois, and Michigan.

GEORGIA,LAMB CROP CONTINUES DECLINE
Georgia's 1964 lamb crop is estimated at 6,000 h~ad--2,OOO below the previous year and sharply below the 1958-62 average of 17,000 lambs.
The number of breeding ewes 1 year and older on farms January 1" 1964, at' 8,000 head, compared with the previous year's total of 10,000 and the 5-year average of 2.1,000.

- LAMB - CROP - DOWN 1

PERCENT IN UNITED -;

STATES

'The 1964 lamb crop totaled 17,905,000 head, a 7 percent decline from the 1963 crop of 19,224,000 head. The 13 western sheep states (11 West, South Dakota, and Texas) produced 7 percent fewer lambs than in 1963 and' 11 percent less than average. The lamb crop in the 35 native sheep states (excludes the 13 western states and Alaska) was 6 percent smaller than in 1963 and 20 percent below average. In Texas, which annually produces approximately 15 percent of the Nation's lambs, the lamb crop WaS 7 percent below last year and 15 percent below average.

Lambing Percentage ~

The lamb crop percentage (number of lambs saved per 100,~wes 1 y~ar.of age or older'on"fsnns and ranches Ja'huaI'y 1) for' 1964 was 92, down 2 points from the 1963~rcentage. The western states lambing percentage, at 86, was down 3 points from the 1~63 percentage, but the native states lam~lng percentage, at 106, was up 2
point,S, from the previous year.

II Western States .,1
The 13, western, states (11 West, South Dakota, and ,'T~xas) produced- ~ l,amb crop ,of 12,937,000 head, 7 percent ~Iow 1963 and 11 percent smaller thart average. Both the de.cl ine In the nljm~r of br~edlng ewes,' and the decrease in the ,lambing' percentage contributed to ,tIle, smaller" lamb crop in 1964. The January I, ,19,64 number of breeding ewes I 'Y~a'r old and older on 'farms and ranches was 13','919,QOO head, 4 percent lower than the 14,51.4,,000 head on hand a year earl ier and 6 pereent ~Iow average. The number of early :lambs (dropped before March 15) in the western states was :also a~ut 7 percent smaller than a year earlier.

Ij!~te'rme'lon Intentions: Based on gtowers' intentions, 40,000 acres of early slimmer watermelons wi'll be harvestea in Georgia this
year. Unfavorable weather has hampered field operations and very 1ittle a;creage had been seeded prior to March 1.
~ Spring Cabbage ~ 200 Acres: , !i~orgrq grqwers expect 'to harvest:2,500" , acres In 1965. This compares wH.h ,2,700
acres last year and a S-year average (1959":'63) of 3,'60 acres. Excessive molstu,r~ and cold weather have retarded growth. Some 'drownlng has resulted In low-lying' "areas.'
'.'.' '
UN ITEO, STinES :
Hatermelons: Based on growers' Intentions, 201,400 acres of early summer watermelons are estimated for harvest this year, This acreage,
Is 1 percent below 1964 and 4 percent below average. Indicated decreases from, last year in North Carolina, Alabama, Oklahoma, Te~as, Arizona, and California ~ore than offset the Increases In Georgia, Arkansas, and Louisiana. No change is Indl~: cated :in South Carolina and ~Ississippl. Land preparation has been delayed in ~h~ preCluciing areas of Georgia, Alabama, and Lo'uisiana ,because of cold, wet weather. " Land p'-r;'eparation, ,Is nearly complete in central, and east Texas and planting will, , soon 9~t' underway. In Oklahoma, moisture conditions In most melon producing arc~~ are good,. Planting In ,\r1zona Is well along In the Salt River Valley with earlie~'t plantin-g's up to good stands. In Cal ifornia, growers were just s,tartlng to plant I. in th~'~outh coastal area and expected to start In the southern San Joaquin Valley' "In ecft:ly'March. The central San Joaquin Valley acreage should be planted during At1rtl"with the northern San Joaquin Valley being seeded b'etween mid-April and mid-,' Hay.

Cabbage: Production of winter cabbage Is forecast at 6,771,000 hundredweight, 1 percent above average. Supplies continue heavy from the Hastings
and;Sanfor.~~Oviedo areas of Florida. Volume from the verslades was light during Febr.u~rY.as the result of the January freeze. Light planting continues In the S,)nf'ord:'O~ledo, Zellwood, and Sarasota areas. In Texas, harvest was active In the Rio Grande Valley during February. Freezing temperatures on February 25 did not
damage the crop. Supplies are expected to be available from the Valley In fairly heavy volume through March, with decllnin3 supplies Into ,I),prll. In the ~nnter Garden, San Antonio, and Laredo areas, harvest is nearly complete. Shipments from Arizona continued in light volume from the Salt River Valley and Yuma areas. Weather has generally been favorable for growth and development. \~arm weather durIng February in California's south coastal counties hastened development. Supplies are a~ailable from Oxnard and other coastal areas. Movement from the Imperial Valley is expected to decrease seasonally early in March.

Preliminary estimates of the early spring cabbage acreage for harvest total

11,550 acres, I percent below last year and 10 percent below average. Planting

of cabbage Is complete in all early spring States except ~labama. The crop is In

good condition ,in all States although low temperatures slowed development in south~

eastern States.

'

Snap Beans: Florida's winter snap bean cro~, at 561,000 hundredweight, is 3 percent below last year and 5 percent below average. Movement
during February was relatively heavy. The Pompano area continued to furnish all of the bush bean supplies. ruality was fair to good and plant conditions have Improved. Suppl ies of pole beans from Dade County have been steady. Shipments are
expected to increase in March.

creases in other States particularly Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas resulted

,

in an overall increase of 69, 000, 000 birds.

The average price received for the 1964 production was 14.2 cents per pO,und live weight or 0.3 cents below the average price received in 1963. The gross income from broiler production in the 23 State s was $1, 018, 213, 000 during 1964 compared ., with $1,004,600,000 during 1963. Georgia, the leading broiler producing State, had ' a gros s income of $174, 153, 000 from broilers - an all time high for any State. The average live weight per bird produced was 3.5 pounds compared with 3.4 pounds in 1963. The number of pounds produced in these 23 States totaled 7,193,361,000 pounds in 1964", up 4 percent from the 1963 production of 6,916,270,000 pounds.

1965

1965

Based on farmers' plans as of March 1, the total acreage planted and to be planted to crops in Georgia this year continues on a downward trend. Acreage decreases are expected for corn, oats, cotton, potatoes, tobacco and hay. Increases are expected in sweetpotatoes, sorghums and soybeans. Acreages of barley and peanuts are expected to be the same as 1964.

The purpose of this report is to assist growers generally in making such changes in their acrea~e plans as may appear desirable. The acreages actually planted in 1965 may turn out to be larger or smaller than indicated, by reason of weather conditions, price changes, labor supply, financial conditions, agricultural programs, and the effect of this report itself upon farmers' actions. l

1/ Acreage harvested. 1/ Grown alone for all purposes.

Corn ,\creaqe Down 3 Percent: Georgia farmers have indicated they intend to plant 1,935,000 acres of corn for all purposes this year. If these intentions
are followed, the 1965 acreage will be 3 percent below last year and lb percent below the 1959-63 average of 2,360,000 acres.

Cotton Acreaqe Down 4 Percent: The 1965 cotton acreage in Georgia is indicated at 620,000 acres, 27,000 below the 647,000 last year and 67,000 acres
below the 1959-63 average of 687,000 acres. The sharp drop in acreage is the result of
Georgia farmers participating in the domestic allotment program to qual ify for the additional price support of 4.35 cents per pound on their normal yields.

Tob3cco Down 19 Percent: A total acreage of 52,500 is expected to be harvested in the State in 1965. This compares with 64,800 acres harvested last
year and a 1959-63 average of 72,040 acres. The decrease in total allotted acres accounts
for this decl ine.

Peanuts Unchanqed: Peanuts planted alone this year are expected to total 518,000 acres, the same as last year but 1,000 acres more than the 1959-63 average.

Oats Down 4 Percent: The acreage seeded to oats for the 1965 crop is reported to be 13,000 iess than 1964 and 89,000 below the 1959-63 average.
Soryhum Acreaqe Up 6 Percent; A total of 50,000 acres is expected to be planted this year. This compares with 47,000 acres last year and the
195~~63 average of 52,000 acres.
Soybeans Up 12 Percent: Growers indicated they would plant 159,000 acres of soybeans alone for all purposes in 1~65. This would be 17,000 acres more
than last year and 47,000 acres more than the 1959-63 average.

United States PROSPECTIVE PLANTINGS FOR 1965

The Nation's farmers intend to plant 257 mill ion acres of the 17 crops covered by the March 1 planting intentions survey. This total is about the same as in 1964 but there are some dramatic shifts among crops. If growers carry out their plans for the 17 crops, anq allowance is made for the other crops not surveyed in March, the indicated planted acreage Of all crops totals 307 million acres for 1965, sli~htly more than last year's 306 million, but the third smallest planted acreage since records began in 1929. The record low is 301 mill ion acres planted in 1961.

Feed Grain Acreage 2.7 Mill ion Acres Less: Producers' plans on March I indicate a total feed grain acreage of 120.3 mill ion acres -- 2
percent less than last year and 13 percent below average. Decreases in barley at 12 percent and oats at 6 percent accounted for most of the ~rop in acreage. Corn acreage is expected to decrease I percent, but an increase of 4 percent is Indicated for sorghum plantings. The provision for substitution of wheat for feed grain acreage, on farms participating in both the 1965 Wheat and reed Grain programs, is a major factor in the reduction of corn acreages in the Plains States and accounts for much of the drop in barley and oats acreage. In the Southern States, the expansion of soybean acreage results partly from reduced plantings of feed grains.

Soybean Acreage Expands: Soybean growers intend to plant 8 percent more acres for 1965 the fifth consecutive year of record high acreages. The in-
crease in soybean acreage more than offsets decl ines in each of the three other oilseed crops.

Cotton: T~e acreage of cotton is expected to be 4 percent smaller than in 1964 mostly because of changes in allotment programs. Peanut growers plan only a sl ight de-
cl ine from last year because allotment acreages are basically unchanged. The Virginia-
Carol ina acreage is expected to be unchanged but an increase in the Southeast, chiefly
Alabama, about offsets a decl ine in New Mexico in the Southwestern peanut area. Flax~ producers indicate a 4.5 percent decl ine in acreage and less acreage is in prospect for each of the primary producing States of Minnesota and the Dakotas.

Tobacco: The intended acreage of all tobacco is nearly 15 percent less than last year and the smallest planted since 1890. Decreases from last year are expected in
all major types of tobacco except cigar filler and cigar wrapper, largely because of reductions in allotments.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended March 20 was 8,467,000 -- 1 percent more than in the previous week and 7 percent more
than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

An estimated 11,899,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries
1 percent more than in the previous week and 8 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs were reported within a range of 60 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 66 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with
hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most
prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a
range of $9.00 to $10.50 with an average of $10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 56 cents for eggs and $8.25 for chicks.

The average price reported for broilers during the week ended March 20 was 15.88 cents per pound fob plant compared with 16.08 cents the previous week and 15.05 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-State

GEORGIA TOTAL MILK pnODUCTION DOWN PHODUCT ION PER COI,.l AT RECOrW LEVEL

ervice
APR '65

I~ilk production on Georgia farms in 1964 totaled 952 mil I ion pounds--l percent below the 1563 production of 965 mill ion pounds. This estimate of production relates to milk from all cows kept for milk including those primarily for home consumption.

Milk production per cow in herd during the year was placed at 5,260 pounds, the highest of record. This surpassed the previous record of 5,000 pounds in 1963. The number of milk cows on farms In the State averaged 181,OOO--the lowest Jevel since these estimates were begun in 1937.

GRADE A MILK RECEIPTS HIGHEST OF ~ECOKD

Grade A milk sold wholesale to plants and dealers in 1964 totaled 800 mill ion pounds-IS mill ion pounds above the 1963 annual total and 10 mill ion pounds more than the previous record of 790 mill ion pounds In 1962. Grade A milk sold wholesale does not encompass the total milk produced for fluid consumption. A portion of milk sold retail by farmers, which in 1964 totaled 40 mill ion pounds, would be Grade A.

Grade B milk totaled 10 mill ion pounds, 5 mill ion below the 1963 output and only half as much as the 3 previous years' totals. Milk used on farms where produced continued to decline. The 102 mill ion pounds in this category during 1964 were 15 percent below the previous year.

UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION, DISPOSITION, AND INCOME
Record .!:LLqh Mi 1k Output l!! 196L~
A record quantity of milk was produced in the United States during 1964. The 126,598 mill ion pounds produced compares with the 125,009 mill ion pounds in 1963 and the previous record prOduction of 126,021 mill ion pounds in 1962. The average annual rate per cow of 7,uOO pounds was up 4.2 percent from 7,561 pounds per cow in 1963--the largest year to year gain since 1958. The extra day in 1964 (leap year) contributed to the increase from 1963 in total milk production and annual milk output per cow. On a daily average basis, total milk production for 1964 was 1.0 percent above 1963 while milk per cow was 3.9 percent more than in 1963. The annual average number of milk cows in 1964, at 16,065 thousand, was 2.8 percent less than the 1963 average of 16,534 thousand.
Util ization of 1964 Milk Production
Factory products claimed about 51 percent of the milk produced in 1964 compared with 50 percent in 1963. Non-farm fluid consumption accounted for 42 percent of the production --the same percentage as in 1963. Farm uses, (milk fed to calves, consumed in fluid form, and used for farm-churned butter) accounted for 7 percent of the production in 1961 compared with nearly ~ percent In 1963. Of the 1964 milk production, 6,470 mill ion pounds were used
on farms where produced--down 8 percent from the 7,027 million pounds used during 1963. Of
the milk used for factory products, milk equivalent of butter produced represented about onehalf, and mil!t equivalent of cheese about one-fourth.
Cash Receipts from MarketinQs
Cash receipts from marketings of milk and cream by farmers In 1964 are estimated at 5,G22 mill ion dollars. This is 3 percent more than the 4,860 mill ion dollars received in 1963, compared with the previous record high or 4,919 mill ion dollars In 1961. The average return per hundredweight for combined marketings of milk and cream in 1964 was $4.18 compared with $4.12 in 1963. The farm value of all milk produced was 5,298 mill ion dollars in 1964, up about ~ percent from 1963. Record high milk production In 1964, at 126,598 mill ion pounds, was produced by 16,065 thousand cows with an average annual rate per cow of 7,880 pounds. Factory products claimed about 51 percent of the milk produced in 1964 and 47 percent was consumed in fluid products.

GEORGIA PRICES RECEIVED INDEX
The Index of Prices Received by Georgia farmers increased by 4 pOI s to 249 during the month M~ti March 15. This was 10 points above the March 1964 level. The All Crops Index at 272 was 5 roints higher than in February and the Index for Livestock and Livestock Products at 201 was I point
nigher than the prev ious month.
The increase in the All Crops Index was caused by higher prices for corn, wheat, cotton, soy~ans, and sweet potatoes. The price increases from February were as follows: corn 4 cents to ~1.35 ?er bushel, wheat 5 cents to $1.60 per bushel, cotton 1.5 cents to 28.5 cents per pound, soyreans 10 cents to $2.75 per bushel, and sweet potatoes 20 cents to $7.30 per hundredweight. The ,rice of oats decl ined from the February level by I cent to u9 cents per bushel. There was no ~ange in the price of other crops used in computing the Index.
T;10 increase in the Livestock and Livestock Products Index was caused by increases in the price of beef cattle by 50 cents per hundredweight to $15.50, calves 10 cents per hundredweight to ~18.20, chickens by .5 cent per pound to 14.8 cents, and e~9s by .6 cent per dozen to ljO.L:. cents. here was no change in the price of hogs and turkeys from the previous month.

UNITED STATES PRICES RHEIVED INDEX UP I POINT P/\RITV INDEX AND PARITV 1~.l\T10 UNCHANGED
During the month ended March 15, I~S5, the Index of Prices Received by Farmers ~dvanced 1
~int (nearly t percent) to 239 percent of its 1910-14 av~rage. Higher prices for commercial vege-
hbles (mainly tomatoes and celery), beef cattle, cotton, chickens, soybeans, and corn were parpally offset by lower prices for milk sold wholesale (mainly seasonal), h09S, lettuce, and wheat. The index was the same as March a year ago.
The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Hage I{ates, at 31d, was unc;iangec.i rrom mid-February and I~ percent above a year earl ier. Prices paid for family 1 iving items averaged sl ightly lower during t:'le month ended t-larch 15.

'dinter'.'lwheat production Is forecast at 1,037 mill ion bush~'ls;-1 pe~ceht larger, ' than thed96!l- crop and 7 percent above the 1959-63 average. The ApTlI'l estimate is about the same as indicated last December I. Planting of the 1965 crop started slowly last fall because of dry soils but was completed at about the usual time. Early development was slow and the crop entered the winter with I imited top growth. However, in most areas, the crop came through the winter without serious losses. High winds in late February and early March caused some damase in the critically dry area of western Kansas, eastern Colorado and the Panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas. Wheat in the Pacific Northwest was subjected to flooding anu erosion from heavy rains in late January with some reseeding necessary. Exce~t for these two areas, the crop wintered well and April I prospects are generally favorable.

The indicated yield per seeded acre is 23.0 bushels compared with 23.7 in 1964 and the average of 22.9 bushels. This forecast is based on growing conditions about April I as reported by crop correspondents. In the past ten years, the average change in the United States production estimate from April I to harvest has been 66 million bushels, ranging between 14 mill ion and 210 mill ion bushels.

The 1965 peach crop in 9 Southern States Is expected to be sharply above last year. Cold weather during March held trees donnant from freezing temperatures throughout t~e area In the latter part of March and losses generally have been light and spotted. As of April 1, the outlook for Georgia, Alabama, and the Carolinas was for an av~rage 'crop. Last year's production In those States was cut to about onefourth of an average crop by the freeze on March 29.and 30, 1964.

In the Carolinas, cold weather delayed bloom as much as two weeks later than

usual. On March 20 and 21 temperatures dropped as low as 18 degrees in South

Carol ina, and some buds were k i I led; however, enough ~uds rema I,ned ul')damaged' for a

good crop ofpeaches. In Georgia, continuous cold weather sl~d bud development.

In ,th.e ,Fort VaLley area earl y' varlet les were bloom'i ng around ml d-Ma-rch.. Lead i-ng

varietl~s, howeve~, did not reach full bloom!untll March 26-30. about two weeks

later than nonnal. Freezing weather occurred several times in Georgia peach areas

during March, but damage 'was 1ight because of: t'he' lateness of' the crop.,' ,

,,:.

.

Freeze losses in Alabama generally have been'l imlted to some desirable. thinning. Early blooms were killed, but In Chilton County trees did not reach full bloom until the end of March. In Louisiana, late March freezes damaged buds. An early ap-
praisal indicates .enough.buds survived to produce 'a fairly,good crop. Arkansas'
crop was thinned by'a late March freeze. Losses 'were not heavy and prospects as of April 1 were generally good. In Oklahoma and Texas a late freeze caught early varlet les in the swollen bud or early bloom stage. Losses were generally .heavy in' " early varieties, but later varieties escaped serious damage.
I. I
March milk production I~ the United States Is estimated at 11,155 million pounds, slightly above a year earlier and 3 percent more than the 1959~63 average for the month. For the first quarter of 1965, average daily milk production was about 1 percent above the corresponding period of 1964.'

The Natlons's laying flock produced 5,687 million ~ during March, down

percent f,rom March last year and the 1959-63 average. Egg production was down 8

'percent in the West North,Central, 2 percent in the East North Central, and 1 per-

cent in the North Atlantic States. These decreases from a year earlier were par-

tially offset by increases of 2 percent in the South Central and West regions and a

,slight gain in the South Atlantic States. Ag9regate egg production, January through"

March, was a llttle above the same months last year.

'

Rate of lay per layer during March was 19.10 eggs, compared with the March 1964

rate of 19.24. Rate of lay was down 1 percent in all regions except the North

Atlantic and West, which registered gains of I percent. Rate of lay per layer on

hand during the first three months of 1964 was 54.0 e9gs, compared with 54.1 egg5

during the same period in 1965.

'

There was an average of 297.7 mill ion layers in th~ Nation's laylng,flock during Karch--one percent fewer than March 1964. There'were increases from a year earlier of 1 percent in the Soyth Atlantic, 2 percent in the West, and 3 percent in the South Central, but decreases of I percent in the East North Central, 2 percent in th~ North Atlantic, and 6 percent in the West North Central region.

On April 1, the Nation's laying flock totaled 296.3 mill Ion birds, 1 percent

pel ow a month and a year earlier. Layer numbers were slightly larger than a month

earlier In the South Central and South Atlantic region, but down 1 percent in, the

North, Atlantic and East North Central, and 2 percent in the West North Central and

West regions . , The ,April I, 1965 rate of laY,was 62.3 eggs per 100 layers compared

with 63.3 ~ year earlier.

Planting of spring and summer vegetables has been interrupted by frequent rains dor.i!"'9 Marcil and early /\pril. Stands in some areas are not good and replanting is expected to be more than usual. Light harvest of cabbaae began the first week of April in the Colquitt County area. Planting of watermelons and cantaloups are be-. hind schedule.

UNITED STATES

S~~p Beans: The first forecast of early spring snap bean production in Flori-

.

da and Texas of 449,000 hundredweight, is IU percent below the

196~ 'crop and I percent below the 19S~-63 average .

Acreage for harvest of mid-spring snap beans is expected to be 13,400 acres, 2 pel."cent above last year but 5 percent below average. In South Cdrol ina. plantings. in"the Charleston-Beaufort area have been delayed due to wet weather but are expected to be completed by mid-.'\pril. Planting in G..;orgia has been delayed by wet fields and cool temperatures. A I imiteu acreage was seeded about mid-March in the extreme south. However, much of this early acreage had to be replanted. About half of the State's acreage has been seeded .\ few fie.lds in ti.le Thomasville-Cairo area were up. In Alabama. cold, wet weather delayed early planting in the southernmost counites. In Mississippi, only a few fields were planted before April I.

Cabbage: Hinter cabbage production of 6,734,000 hundredweight is 1 percent below last year but sl ightly above average.

Early spring cabbage production is forecast at 1,561,000 hundredweight, 8 percent less than both 1964 and average. In South Carol ina, development is mostly good.
Harvest is expected to begin around mid-April. In Geor9ia, recent heavy rains caused some loss of acreage. Light harvest was under way on April 1; however. volume movement is not expected before mid::'April. In Alabama. I ight harvest has started in the southernmost counties. In Mississippi harvest is expected to start In early May, abOut two weeks late. Cabbage in Louisiana has made good progress. Harvest in the southern areas is about over. In California, harvest .of the early spring acreage started about .\pril 1.
,,:
Latespring cabbage acreage is estimated to total 7,600 acres. 7 percent above last year and 3 percent above average.
I
Sweet Corn: Early spring sweet corn production in Florida and Texas, forecast' at 2,911,000 hundredweight, is I percent above last year and 3
percent above average.

Cucumbers: ?roduction of early s~rin9 cucumbers in Florida and Texas is esii-'"

mated at 1.171,000 hundredweight. 13 percent below the 1964 'cro~~ ..

Acreage 'in the two States is I percent above last year.

.

Onions: The April 1 forecast of early spring onion production in Texas. at

. ., .3.003,090 hundredweight. is 21 percent below the 1964 crop, but 15 per-

cent above. average.

.



I

Onion growers in the five late sprin9 States expect to harvest 6,500 acres, 7 percent below last year and 26 percent below average. In Cal ifornia, plantings are in good condition in all producing areas. Pull ing was expected to get under way in the Imperial Valley and the Blythe area in early April. In i\rizona, weather conditions have been favorable for plant development. Harvest should begin the first week of May. In Texas, transplanting is practically complete after considerable delay from cold. wet weather. In Georgia, the crop has shown good progress. Light harvest is expected during the last week of April with peak movement about mid-May. In North Carol ina, weather has been favorable for growth. Stands are generally good.

~ng GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia

the week ended April 10

was 8,758,000--1 percent less than in the previous week but 7 percent more

than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting

Service.

An estimated 12,267,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries
--1 percent more than in the previous week and 9 percent more than in the com-
parable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching ggs we re reported within a range of 60 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 66 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $9.00 to $10.50 with an average of $10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 56 cents for eggs and $8.25 for chicks.

T he average price reported for broilers during the week ended April 10 was 15. 86 cents per pound fob plant compared with 15. 58 cents the previous week and 14. 13 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-State Market News Service.

FIRST in broiler production
SECOND in cash receipts frcm eggs
THIRD in egg production
Corrmercial Broilers: ~roduction of commercial broilers in Georgia for 1964 set a new record high with a total of almost 374 million birds according to the Georgia Crop
Reporting Service. This is the fourteenth consecutive year in. which Georgia has led the
nation in broiler production. The 1964 ccmmercial broiler production was about 4 percent more than in 1963.
Egg Production: Expansion of the egg production enterprise continued during 1964. Production of 3,299 million eggs was 9 percent more than the 1963 production. Georgia's
rank in egg production in the nation was third behind California and Iowa. In value of eggs sold, Georgia was second to California. The total value of eggs in Georgia was influenced considerably by the large production of hatching eggs that sell for premium prices.
The gross income (sales plus value of home consumption) from chickens and eggs of 121 million dollars exceeds the value of any other agricultural enterprise in Georgia except commercial broilers.
Chickens and Eggs: Gross income frcm all chickens and eggs including commercial
broilers was 295 million dollars in 1964. This was the eighth year Georgia has led the
nation in gross income from all chickens and eggs. California was the second ranking
State with 247 million dollars followed by Arkansas with 199 million dollars and Alabama with 190 million dollars.
Cash receipts from all chickens and eggs of 292 million dollars accounted for over one third of the total from all farm marketings in Georgia in 1964.
Distribution of Egg Production and Income
Commercial Flocks (Flocks of 400 birds or more not used f~r hatching) The number of layers during 1964 averaged 10,766,000 - 10 percent more than in 1963, and accounted for 73 percent of eggs produced in the State and 66 percent of cash receipts from eggs.
Hatching Egg Flocks averaged 3,650,000 layers - 6 percent more than in 1963. Egg production totaled 717 million - 8 percent more than in 1963 and accounted for 22 percent of eggs produced in the State and 31 percent of cash receipts from eggs.
Farm Flocks averaged 1,096,000 layers during the year - 15 percent less than in 1963. Egg production at 184 million was 16 percent less than a year earlier. Farm flocks
accounted for 5 percent of eggs produced in State and 3 percent of the total cash receipts from all eggs. Ninety-four percent of the eggs consumed on farms where produced were from farm flocks.

An estimated 12,342,000 broiler typ~ eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries --1 percent less than in the previous week but 6 percent more than in the com-
parable week a year earlier.

The majority of tbe prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler batcbing eggs were reported witbin a range of 55 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of batcbing eggs was 61 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks witb
hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most
prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported witbin a range of $8.50 to ,~lO. 00 with an average of $9.25 per bundred. The average prices last }'ear were 54 cents for eggs and $7.75 for cbicks.

Gl1:NERt\L CROP REPORT AS OF HAY 1, 1965

GEORGIA: "

Rains and wet fields in early April restricted field work, but as the
month progressed, conditions improved and land preparation and planting became
active. On Hair 1, about tt'10-thirds of the State's corn, tHo-thirds of the cotton and about. 60'percent of th~ peanut acreage had been seeded. Planting progress on Hay 1 Has a little behind the 1964 pace, but lagged the 1963 pace considerably.

Generally, good stands are being obtained and early growth is good. Cool

weather and the lack of to,soil moisture have resulted in r~planting a few fields.

As o'f"Ea;)r 8, a.1.Jout 85 percent of the cotton, corn, and peanuts h3.d been planted.

Planting Has nearing complet::"on in southern districts, but only half complete in

northern districts.

.." '

Good Peach Crop Indicated: Georgia's 1965 commerci~l peach crop is forecast at 5,2QO,000 bushels, much above the
short crop in 1~6J4' but below the 5,4')0,000 bushels produced in 1963. Harvest of early,varieties 'in South Georgia is expected to start about rmy 25. The first
shipments from the Fort Valley area are expected about June 7.

T;Jhea t Production Dm-1n: Production of uhea t in Georgia is currently fore-
cast at 1,890,000 bushels -- 15 percent less than the 2,220,000 bushels produced last year. The prod~ction decline is the result of a smaller acreage for harvest. Yield per acre is estimated at 30 bushels.

Bilk Production: A total of 86 million pounds of miD{ l'laS produced on

-

Georgia fani1:s during April. This level is 1 percent

above output in ilarch and 4 percent more than was produced during April 1964.

Egg Produe tion : Hens on Georgia fanns laid'an estimated 299 million eggs during April, compared with 290 million during the
same month last year. Hens and pullets of laying age totaled 15,877,000, compared with 15,412,800 onhand during April 196h.

Hinter 't-Iheat prospec,ts dropped off during April,. 'but 15'65 productioi:{ ~s still expected to be above average. GJneral field work lagged across the northern half Ol th~ Nation_~s wet soils and cool tempe~atures prevailed. Harvest of the . citrus crop made good progress with production more than one-fifth larger than

to be 5 percent smaller than last Jrear, but, 1 percent larger than .averaae. ' Gri ti-

cal moisture shortages continued and acreage abandonment t1aS heavy in eastern

Colorado. Host of the nheat continued to hang on in the Panhandle areas of ,



Oklahoma and Texas, western Kansas, and into Nebraska, but stands were thi~ed

during April. Prospects continue favorable in 'most other winter wheat produc-

ing areas. The expected yield of 26.1 bushels per harvested acre compares with

27.2 bushels for 1~64.

Peaches: ,Peach production iIl the 9 southern States is forecast at 17.8 . million bushels, more than triple last year's short crop of ,.7
million busheis, and 5 percent above average but 5 percent less than the l~rge 1963 crop. As of r1ay 1, prospects nere above average in the Carolinas, Georgia, Alabama, and Oklahoma 1vith the other southern States expecting belon average production. In North Carolina, early and late varieties set a hea~J crop but winter damage re~lllted in a light set on mid-season va~ieties. In South Carolina, lou temperatures in March affected pollination, especially in the l~ey stone.and earlier varieties. In Arkansas and Oklahoma, peacnes are makine good progress. In Hississippi and Louisiana, early varieties uere thinned by a late
March freeze. Prospects for early varieties in Texas were sharply reduced by a ~1arch freeze, but later varieties were not seriously affected. Light' harvest of early varieties t1il1 start in late f1ay. Colorado's crop is maldng satisfactory progress viith no apparent freeze damage to date. Bloom vIas about a vIeek earlier
than lastyea~. Excellent crops of both Clingstones and Freestones are in prosp~ct in California. Above normal rainfall and cool temperatures in April slol'Jed development of fruit. Thinning of early varieties vIas under nay Qy the end of April.

Milk Production: April milk production in the United States is estimated at 11,416 million pounds, slightly above the previous record"
high for the month set in 1964. For the first 4 months this year, average daily milk production was 1 percent above the corresponding period last year.

Poult~r and Eggs: The Nation's laying flocIc produced 5,584 million eggs during April, down 1 percent from April 1964 and the
1959-63 average. Layer numbers during April were 1 percent beloN the preceding
month and slightly below a yea~ earlier. Rate of lay, adjusted for number of days showed a 3 percent increase from March to April. Egg pro~uction January through April 1965 wa~ slightly less than the same period last year.

Number of layers in flocks during April averaged 294.5 million birds -- slightly belo1l7 April 196h. Increases in the number of layers during April were 4 percent in the South Central, 2 percent in the South Atlantic, and a slight 'increase in the l.1est. Layer numbers decreased 6 percent in the '

April milk production in the United States is estimated at 11,416 mill ion pounds, sl ightly above the ~revious recor~ high for the month set a year earl ier, Average daily production increased 6 percent from March to April, about the same
seasonal advance as in 1964. Milk production during April amounted to 1.96 pounds per person daily, compared with 1.98 pounds a y~ar earl ier, Milk output per cow averaged 724 pounds--3 percent more than the 705 pounds produced in April last
year and 13 percent above the 1959-63 average for the month.

During April, prospects for 1965 pasture feed improved, but spring growth stil J lags because of unusually cool weather.

GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE

GEORGIA PRICES RECEIVED INDEX UP 3 POINTS

The Index of Prices Received by Georgia Farmers increased by 3 points to 256 during the month ended May 15. This was 12 points above the May 1964 level. The All Crops Index at 277 was the same as in April, as the price of most of the crops used in computing the Index had changed very little from a month earlier.

The Index of Prices Received for Livestock and Livestock Products at 211 was 8 points higher than in April and 22 points above May of 1964. The increases from a month ago were: hogs, $2.90 to ~19.10 per hundred pounds; beef cattle, 50 cents per hundred pouncs to J16.60; calves, $1.20 per hundred pounds to $20.50; and all chickens 1/2 cent per pound to 14.9
cents. There was a decline of 5.7 cents per dozen in the price of eggs to 37.7 cents per dozen.

UNI:ED STATES PRICES RECEIVED INDEX UP 8 POINTS PARITY INDEX UP 3 POINTS, PARITY RATIO 78

During the month ended May 15, the Index of Prices Received by Farmers advanced 8 points (3 percent) to 251 percent of its 1910-14 average. Sharply higher prices for hogs and cattle were mainly responsible for the increase. Partly offsetting were seasonally lower prices for eggs and wholesale milk. The index was 6 percent above May 1964.

The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, increased 3 points (1 percent) during the month to 323, a record high. Prices paid both for family living items and production goods averaged higher than a month earlier. The index was 10 points (3 percent) above a year earlier.

With the Index of Prices Received by Farmers rising more rapidly than the Index of

hices Paid by Farmers, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, the Parity Ratio

rose 2 points to 78. Index Numbers -- Georgia and United States

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended June 5 was
8,754,000--4 percent less than in the previous week but 1 percent more than in the
comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

An estimated 12,088,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries --1 percent less than in the previous week and 6 percent more than in the com-
parable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs were reported within a range of 55 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 60 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks
with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price.
Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported with-
in a range of $8. 50 to ~10. 00 with an average of $9.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 54 cents for eggs and $7. 75 for chicks.

The average price reported for broilers during the week ended June 5 was
16.62 cents per pound fob plant compared with 17.28 cents the previous week and 13.85 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-State
Market News Service.

GEO;~GL\: On June I most vegetable and melon crops in, the State were in fair to' ,'";,,. l:jooli,,conJition. Dry weather had retarded yrowth and development in

. many He'li(js" but maximum use was made of irri!:jation 'Nhere available. ,

Harvest of onions and spring cabbage was practically com~leted by June 1., Volume movement of snap beans was unuel-way during late Ma~' " and first pick1ri~s

of toma:toes took place near the end of the.month. Harvest of watermelons and cantaloups.was expected to begin about mid-June.

U1HTE[) STITES;. ';

SNA? BE,~NS: Production of early sprinH snap beans, estimated at 42b,000 cwt.,

.I

is 22 percent below last year. Mid-sprint] Sila., bean production

is est imatecl at 347,000 cwt., 10 percent above the I~LI.:, C,Oj). Harvest in South

Caro~~na was active on June 1. In Georgia, dry weather ~urins May reduced

suppl ies ancl shortened the harvest season. Harvest from 1at~ ~lantings ,and

irrigated fields is expected to continue through June. Harvest in Alabama was

nearing completion in the extreme south by June 1 but was just getting underway

iQ...th~ cent,ral counties . Dry w~ather cut prospective yields and growth. In

Mississ'ippi, harvest started i",-'Iate May, about two weeks late. In Louisiana,

harvest be9an about mid-May and is expected to be completed by mid-June. .

C.l\NTALOUPS: Production of ~.,!l9. cantalou'ps is estimated at 3,5b3,000 cwt ..
4 percent above last year anG 7 p~rcent below the 1~59-b3
average. The first estimate of early summer cantaloups places production at
549,000 c~t., 2 perc~nt below 1964 anJ 16 percent below average. South'
Carol ina's crop is In good condition. Volume movement is expected durin~ July. In Georgia, vine vrowth during recent 'tJeeks has been slow and sheddin!:) of blooms and young m~:rons has been heavier than usual because of dry weather. Light SlIppl ies are expected about June 10 with volume movement occurring around
July I. In central Arizona, vine groVJth has been slow because of cool weather.
Harvest is expected to start in late June and light suppl ies should be available
unt~l late July.

CUCUMBcl{S: Early spring cucumber production in Florida and Texas, at 1,17\,000
CI'/t., is 13 percent below last year. The. laJe spring crop, estimated at I ,20~,000 cwt., is 15 percent more than the 1964 crop and 17 percent above average. The crop in North Carol ina is in good condition. Harvestfrom earl ier fields is expected to start about June 10. Harvest in South Carol~na began 'in late May and picking was expected to become active in early June. In Georyia, the crop is beginning to suffer from dry weather. Vines ha've begun to deterlorate and the harvest season will qe somewhat. shorter th~n u5,\lal. Heaviest movement is e;{pected by mid-June. In ,~~abama, 1 ight harvest was underway on June I. Dr~1 weather caused slow growth on all but the few i rri~ated acres. Picking began in Louisiana in most local ities in early MJj and was at or near
the.peak the last week of the month. Most of the Cal ifornia shipments are currently originating from San Diego County. Picking in t;le ~an Joaquin Valley started in late May and will be followed by Orange and Ventura Counties. Harvest is expected to increase through Juli. Cucumber :"'lrouuction in the ~ summer States is estimated at &29,000 cwt., compared with 612,0~0 cwt. last ~ear.
TOM,nOES: The final estimate of early si)ring t~ato production 'is ],293,000
c~t., 4 percent more than la~t 'ye~r~ut 11 percent below average.
The ll!.~e spring crop, estimated at I,097,'OOO'cwt'., is 3 percent above last year
and 12 percent above average. Harvest began i~ South Carol ina in late May and is expecteL to become general in June. Condition of the crop as of June I was excellent. Harvest of tomatoes in Georgia started durin ... the last week in May.
Heaviest volume is expected around June 15. A sizeable portion of the crop has
been under irrigation and the overall condition of plants is generally good. In Mississippi and Louisiana, recent rains have bee{! beneficial. The crops are in good condition and yield prospects are good. Harvest started in the tJew Orleans area of Louisiana in mid-t~ay and was nearin!:j peak bV June 1. Picking began in late May. All areas will have suppl ies in good volume during June
except on the High Plains. This late acreage will furnish suppl ies from late ~ugust until frost.

WATERMELONS: Production of late spri~9 watermelons is 8,~51,OOO cwt 6 percent

below 1964 and 4 percent below the 5-year average. Early summer

watermelon production is placed at 16.047.000 cwt 6 percent more' than last

year but nearly the same as average. In North Carol ina, the crop fs in good

condition"but later than usual. Earl iest harvest in the south central area is

expected in early July. Prospects in South Carolina are good but dry soils in

some areas were beginning to affect fruiting. Harvest is expected to begin

after mid-June. May weather in Georgia was not favorable for melon develop-

ment. Some areas received no appreciable rainfall during the entire month.

Earliest movement Is expected to get underway in the extreme south about mid-

June. First melons should be harvested in extreme southern Alabama before'

mid-Juneo Mississippi watermelons are in fair to good condition. In Arkansas.

moisture suppl ies are abundant and the crop is making good growth. In LouisI-

ana. showers in late May provided adequate moisture and the crop is in good'

condition. First melons are expected in the Saline area after, mid-June and in

the Farmerville area by mid-July. Cool weather delayed the Oklahoma crop.

Moisture supplies are generally adequate. Light harvest of Texas watermelons

started in the Rio Grande Valley in mid-May and got underway in the Falfurrias-

Hebbronville area after mid-month. Harvest is expected to start in central and

east Texas about mid-June and in north Texas in early July. In Arizona. vines

are In good condition but are a week to 10 days late. Earl iest suppl ies are

expected to be available after mid-June. In California. part of the early

summer acreage in the San Joaquin Valley had to be replanted because of hail and

rain damage., Growers of late summer watermelons expect to harvest 33.700 acres

in 1965 compared with 32,200 last year and the 1959-63 average of 32.710 acres.

. As of Jun~ 1965

June 11, 1965

Rainfall during May averaged well below normal throughout the State, and
some areas received little or no'rain during the entire month. Generally, crops are late,. and the dry weather has retarded development. Rains received since June 1. have been very beneficial in most areas of the State.

Good progress has been made in harvesting the small grain crops. Yields of

wheat and. oats are fair to good. Dry weather has been favorable for saving the

early hay crops, but the lack of moisture has retarded growth of iate hays and

pasturesa

.

Pe~: The June 1 forecast of 5,000,000 bushels for all peaches is 200,000 bushels below the estimate of a month ago. In 1964, pro-
duction amounted to only 1,800,000 bushels.

~: The June 1 forecast placed Georgia f s.1965 wheat production at 1,827,000 bushels - 18 percent below last year. Yield per acre was
estimated at 29.0 bushels compared with the 1964 record high of 30.0 bushels.

Mal.Egg Produc~ion Sets New ~2: Egg production on Georgia farms during May is estimated at 319 million, 6 per-
cent above the 300 million produced, in May last year. Layers on hand during May averaged 16,224,000 compared with 15,320,000 a year earlier.

~k Prod~~ion Up: ~lilk production on Georgia farms totaled 86 million pounds during May. . This was 4 percent above production
during May 1964 but the same as the April total~

Winter wheat prospects improved 4 percent during Mayas rains benefited the dry Great Plains areas and warm weather accelerated the slow early season development in the Corn Belt and Pacific NOrthwest, according to the Crop Reporting Board. The 1965 crop is still 1 percent less than last year. Spring work continued to lag in the Northern Plains area, but May weather permitted farmers to catch up on crop work in most other parts of the Nation. Hay and pasture crops improved during May in the North Central States but declined in the dry areas along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Fruit prospects are generally good although freeze damage lowered potential output in the Pacific Northwest. May production of. both milk and eggs was slightly less than last year.
~er Wheat: Production of winter wheat is forecast at 1,017 million bushels, 1 percent less than 1964 but 5 percent above average.
The June 1 forecast is 39 million bushels above the May 1 estimate. Weather during May was favorable for wheat development in nearly all producing areas. Yie~ per harvested acre is now indicated at 27.2 bushels, equal to last year and 1.6 bushels above average. In the past 10 years, the average change in the United States production estimate from June 1 to harvest has been 55 million bushels, ranging between 23 million bushels and 105 million bushels.
Timely May rains throughout the Plains States boosted yield prospects sharply in this area. The rains came during a critical period of development and provided nearly ideal conditions for filling of heads.

~eaches: The Nation!s 1965 peach ~5timate is 83.5 million bushels, a

record large crop, up 12 percent from 1964 and 11 percent above .

average. Excluding the California Clingstone crop, used mostly for canning, the

remainder of the U. S. crop is forecast at 46.0 million bushels, up.20 percent

from last year but 3 percent below average. Most of the 1965 increase is in the' .

Carolinas, Georgia, and Alabama.

.

.

The forecast for the 9 Southern' States is,17.5 million bushels, down 1 percent from last month, but still more than triple ~ast.year!s freeze damaged crop and 4 percent above average. Georgia prospects are down 'from last month.
Dry w~ather has limited sizing, especially early maturing varieties. Harvest of the Springtime and Maygold varieties is well advanceq. Movement of Suwanee, Cardinal, Redcap, and Dixired is just beginning. HarVest of Coronets was expected to get underway the week of June 7. Despite dry weather and a heavy loss of
trees fr.om winter kill and disease, prospects in South Caro~na remain g,ood . Harvest is underway and will increase about mid-June as Dixireds mature. Shipments of Coronets, Jerseylands, 'Redhavens, Keystones, arid Southlands will be underway in early July. Alabama peaches are not sizing well because of dry weather and without adequate rainfall few peaches are expected to reach adequate size for out-of-State shipment. In North Carolina, prospects improved during the past month. Heavy thinning -is needed for sizing. Arkansas peach prospects improved during May but are still below the 1964 crop. Mid-season and late varieties have better prospects than early varieties. Moisture is adequate in all areas.

Milk Production: :Hilk output in May is estimated at 12,300 million pounds, slightly below May a year ago and about equal to the
1959-63 average for the month. May was the first month since July 1964 when milk production was below a year earlier, except for February 1965, which had one less day than February 1964. For the first 5 months of the year, average daily milk production was about 1 percent above the corresponding period last year.

Poultry and Egg Production: Egg production during May totaled 5,160 millio~ eggs, down fractionally from May 1964 but up
1 percent from the May 1959 -63 average. Layer numbers during May were 1 percent below the preceding month but about the same as a year earlier. Rate of lay adjusted for number of days showed a' l.percent increase from April to May. Aggregate egg production, January throug}:l May 1965 was 27,650 million eggs, or slightly less than the same period of 1964.
On June 1, 1965 the Nation's laying flock tgtaled 290.6 milli9n birds, nearly the same as a year earlier but l' percent below l"1ay 1, 1965. There was a 5 percent increase over J~e 1, 1964, in the'South Atlantic and a 4 percent increase in the South Central. Layer numbers decreased 5 percent in the West North Central, 3 percent in the North Atlantic, and ~ percent in the East North Central. In the West, June 1 layer ntimDers'were about the same ~s a year ago. The U. S. rate of lay on June 1 was 63.4 'eggs per 100 ~ayers; about the same as a year earlier but 1 percent below a month ear~er.

MAY TOTAL MILK UP 4 PERCENT

Milk production on Georgia fanms totaled 86 million pounds during Hay 4 percent above production in Hay last year but the same as tne April total. The S-year (1959-63) average production for the month was 90 million pounds.
L' .
The average production per cow in herd was placed at 500 pounds, -- the same as the April output but 45 pounds above Hay 1964. The S-year average for the. mmnth was 425 pounds.

The preliminary average price received by producers for all wholesale
milk was estimated at $5.70 per hundredweight. This would be $.15 below a year ago, and the previous month.

Dairy feed prices showed a $.10 increase over a year ago and averaged $.15 above'the April level. Hay prices were slightly below the previous year ..
but unchanged from April.

UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION

Milk production in the United States during May is estimated at 12,300 mill ion pounds, one-half percent below a year earlier and about equal to the 1959-63 average for the month. On an average daily basis, production increased about 5 percent from April to May, the same seasonal advance as in 1964. May production amounted to 2.04 pounds per person daily, compared with 2.08 pounds a year earl ier. Production per cow was about 2 percent above May a year ago -- the smallest year-to-year gain In many months.
Reported condition of dairy pastures averaged 82 percent of normal on June 1, 2 percentage points below a year earlier and 3 points below the average for the date. Soil moisture was generally adequate in central and western areas of the country but cool weather delayed spring pasture growth. At the end of May, rain was' badly needed In the Northeast, Florida, and some Gulf Coast areas.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended June 12 was 9, 283, 000- -6 percent more than in the previous week and 9 percent more than in
the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

An estimated 12,023,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries --1 percent less than in the previous week but 9 percent more than in the com-
parable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching
eggs were reported within a range of 55 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 60 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks
with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price.
Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported with-
in a range of $8. 50 to $10.00 with an average of $9.00 per hundred. The average price s last year were 54 cents for eggs and $7. 75 for chicks.

The average price reported for broilers during the week ended June 12 was 16.38 cents per pound fob plant compared with 16.62 cents the previous week and 13.25 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-
State Market News Service.

UN ITED STATES:
DECH1BER 196L~-MAY 1965 PIG CO,O? DavIN 10 PERCENT
The pig crop for the 6 months December 1964 throuS:l May 1965 totaled 43,227,000 head, 10 percent less than the 47,912,000 head a year earl ier. Reductions of 13 percent were reported for the East North Central and Western regions. The .:est North Central region was down 10 percent; the North Atlantic, 9 percent; the South Central, 6 percent; and the South Atlantic, 2 percent.
The number of sows farrowing during the December 1964-May 1965 period was 5,986,000 head, 10 percent less than the 6,629,000 sows farrowed during the same period a year earl ier. December-May 1965 farrowings were 3 percentage points less than indicated by farmers' intentions as of December 1, 1964. December-May farrowings and intentions reported last December as a percentage of a year earl ier by regions are: North Atlantic, 87 percent now and 89 percent in December; East North Central 87 and 93; West North Central 91 and 93; South Atlantic 98 and 94; South Central 94 and 91; West 85 and 88.
The number of pigs per 1itter during December-May period averaged 7.22, sl ightly less than the 7.23 a year earl ier.
Farrowings were down from a year earl ier in each month of the December-May period.
JUNE - NOVEMBER INTENTIONS DaWN 7 PERCENT
June 1 reports from farmers on breeding intentions indicate that 5,238,000 sows will farrow in the United States during June-November 1965. This is 7 percent less than the 5,630,000 sows farrowing during the corresponding period of 1964 and 13 percent below the 1959-63 average of 6,037,000. Decreases in furrowings from June-November last year are indicated in all regions except the \1est, which shows no change.
If intentions for June-November farrowings material ize and the number of pigs saved per 1itter equals the average plus an allowance for trend, the pig crop for the period will total 37,500,000 head, 8 percent less than a year earl ier and the smallest since 1957. The combined pig crop for 1965 would be 80,727,000 head, 9 percent less than the 1964 pig crop, and the smallest since 1953.

"'p'a'red 'w'ith the 2;23'4,000 pounds produced from these varieties lc~st year.

Favorable fall ,nd winter weather held winter-kill to a minimum. This

combined with a favorable spring 'season caused more acreage than last year to

be harvested in Georgla,'Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas. Acreage harvested

In Mississippi was the same as a year earlier. The five-State total of 26,900

Georgia's 1965 Cotton Acreage Down 31,000
The 1965 acreage of cotton planted In Georgia is estimated at 615,000 according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 31,000 acres less than the 646,000 acres planted in 1964. The decline in acreage Is due largely to growers agreeing to hold their acreage
within the domestic allotment.
Planted acreage for the United States Is estimated at 14,205,000 for 1965 compared with 14,839,000 acres In 1964. This Is a 4 percent decrease.
The first 1965 production 'estimate will be made o~ August 9.

CROP PROSPECTS CONTINUE TO IMPROVE

Athens, Ga., July 12 -- Crop prospects continued favorable In most areas

of the State, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Moisture supply

varied widely by areas. In the southern distrlct~.abundant to excessive rains

were received and most crops and pastures Improved . Frequent showers made it

difficult to control Insects and diseases. Some local areas in the north-

eastern portion of the State were still dry.

According to the County Agricultural Agents, 2!n prospects have continued
to improve, with eighty-eight percent of the acreage reported in good to ex-
cellent condition. As of July I, an average yield per area of 44 bushels was
indicated -- one bushel above the previous record.

Cotton prospects continued good in most areas of the State. The frequent

showers made It very difficult to control weevils and boll worms. Reported

boli weevil infestation was up slightly from last week. Seventy-six percent of

. the crop was setting bolls.

.

Tobacco harvest was in full swing in all sections. t'/et soils have delayed operations in some areas. About one-fourth of the crop had been harvested by July 10. As of July I, a record high yield per acre of 2050 pounds was' est i'mated.

An excellent peanut crop continued to Improve. with ninety-two percent of acreage reported in good to excellent condition. Growers were carrying out an extensive spray program to control insects and diseases.

Soybeans were making good progress with eighty-four percent of acreage reported in good to excellent condition. The sweetpotato crop was responding favorably to the abundance of moisture. Hay crops were looking good but harvest has been delayed in some areas. Pastures were furnishing good to excellent grazing in most counties.

Peach harvest was active in all areas with volume of good quality fruit
~yailab~e. Pecan pr-ospccts were from fair to good. Apple prospects were good in the mountain counties of North Georgia.

Market Managers reported good volume of cantaloups and ~atennelons available. Volume of most other vegetables was on the decl ine in southern
districts .. but near the peak in northern a.reas.

WEATHER SUMMARY - Showers and thundershowers continued to occur at frequent intervals over most of Georgia during the past week. 'Coooperative weather
observers reported measurable rain on three to six days, except in some scattered
sections where showers were a little less frequent. A few local areas that were
missed by the showers were stili dry at the end of the week. The rains were
generally heavier in the south and central sections. The observer at Fort Gaines
recorded 4.70 inches of rain for the week ending Friday, July 9, and measured
2.00 Inches for two different 24-hour period.

Temperatures averaged near to slightly below normal, as the comparatively

mild summer weather continued for another week. This was the sixth consecutive

week that Georgia temperatures have averaged cooler than normal. The frequent

showers and cloudy skies helped keep afternoon temperatures in the eIghties and

low nineties throughout the week. Early morning minimum temperatures were In

the sixties and low seventies.

UNITED STATES, CROP SUMMARY AS OF JULY 1, 1965

..

Development of 1965 crops is somewhat behind the normal pace. Hot:lever,
July 1 'prospects are favorable except in dry areas in the Northeast.. .Spring work 'made a slow start but total planted acreage was slightly more than 1as~~year with major expansions in soybeans and winter wheat. Indicated fead grain production ."is larger than the drought-reduced 1964 output. Prospects for winter wheat improved during June.

Crops planted for 1965 harvest total 308 million acres -- 1.5 million more than the 1964 total and 2 percent above the record low of 301 million acres planted for 1962 harvest. Total acreage of feed grains declined, although sorghum plantings exceed last year. Farmers were able to plant most intended crop acreages although there were some indicated shifts from spring grains to later seeded crops. '

The indicated total acr~age for harvest in 1965: shows a smaller gain than planted acreage. Acreage losses after planting are 'eXPected to 'be larger than
. dur'ing the 1964 season particularly fo:r winter wheat. The current estimate of 294 million acres for harvest in 1965 is 1.0 million acres more than last year.

QQg[: Production of corn for grain in 1965 is expected to total 3.9 billion
bushels -- 10 percent more than last yearts drought reduced crop. A crop of this size would be 2 percent above average but 4 percent below the record
1963 crop. The indicated acreage of corn to be harvested for grain in 1965 is slightly more than last year, but 10 percent less than average. A 1965 yield of 68.3 bushels per acre is forecast, based on crop prospects on July 1. This yield
is sharply above the drought-lowered 1964 level of 62.1 bushels, and a bushel above the record high in 1963.

ALL WHEAT: Production of all wheat is forecast at 1,354 million bushels, 5 per-

cent above last year and 14 percent above average. Yield per har-

vested acre is'es~imated at 27.2 bushels, 1.0 bushel above 1964 and 2.7 bushels

above average. The acreage of all wheat for harvest as grain is expected to

total 49.8 million acres, 1 percent above a year earlier and 2 percent above

average.

,. ..'

SOlBEANS: Soybeans'planted alone fOr all purposes in 1965 are estimated at 35.6
million acres, 12 percent more than the previous record acreage of 31.7 million acres in 1964 end 33 percent more than the average of 26.7 million acres. Growers are expected to harv~st 34.1 million acres for beans, up 13 percent from a year earlier and 34 percent above average.

THE POULTRY AND EGG SITUATION

Approved by the Outlook and Situation Board, July 14, 1965 SITUATION AND OUTLOOK (BROILERS)

Sharply Rising Demand Pushes Broiler Prices Up

U. S. farm broiler prices have been equal to or higher than a year earlier each month since mid-1964. In the 12 months through June 1965, they averaged 14.8 cents per pound, 0.7 cent more than in the same period of 1963-64. Prices in June averaged 15.7 cents per pound compared with 15.3 cents in May and 14.0 cents in June 1964. On July 13, base valuation quotations for broilers in major southern producing areas were mostly 14 1/2 cents per pound, the same as a year earlier.

Rapidly expanding domestic demand explains the prolonged price strength in broilers. Factors in the increased broiler demand over the past 12 months included a 1. 4 percent gain in population, a 5 percent increase in per capita disposable income, and, in the second half of the period, sharply higher red meat prices. For example, in June, farm prices averaged $22.50 per 100 pounds for hogs, up $7.60 from June 1964, and $21. 50 for all beef cattle, up $4.00.

Broiler Production Expanding in 1965

The strength in broiler prices has brought on a rapid expansion in broiler production. The number of broilers slaughtered in Federally inspected plants was up about 4 percent from a year earlier in April-June. Slaughter had run ody 2 percent above a year earlier in the third and fourth quarters of 1964 and 3 percent above in the first quarter of this year. In the third quarter, broiler production is exceeding the 1964 level by a greater margin than in the second quarter. Broiler slaughter in the third quarter will be mostly from broiler chick placements in 23 States in the 13 weeks ended July 10, which were 10 percent above a year earlier. Egg settings in the 23 States in the 3 weeks ended July 10 ran 11 percent above the same 1964 period.

Fourth quarter output probably will also be up by a substantial margin. Even with prospects for a continued strong demand through this year rapidly increas ing production is expected to drive broiler prices a little under 1964's third quarter average of 14.7 cents in the next 2 months.

In stepping up production, the broiler industry thus far appears to have taken advantage of a temporary opportunity--resulting mainly from decreasing supplies and rising prices for red meats--to market increasing supplies at satisfactory prices. However, the high level of broiler consumption in prospect for the third quarter may cause broiler IIfatigue " to set in; that is, consumers may be temporarily unwilling to eat substantially more broilers than a year earlier except at reduced prices. If broiler production in the fourth quarter continues to run substantially above the 1964 level, as appears likely, broiler prices may drop below the year earlier level of 14.2 cents.

Overexpansion for Broilers pos sible in 1966

In addition to the upsurge in broiler production this year, more favorable prices have also encouraged large additions of pullets chicks to broiler hatchery supply flocks. This will influence the level of broiler production in 1966. Pullet chicks placed by leading breeders exceeded year-earlier numbers in 4 out of the last 5 months. In February-May placements totaled 19 percent above those in the same 1964 period. June placements, however, were the same as a year earlier.

The substantially larger number of pullet chicks added to hatchery supply flocks will greatly enlarge broiler breeding flocks over the next 6 months. The number of such layers producing hatching eggs in June was indicated to be about 9 percent less than in June 1964, but by January 1966 the number will likely have climbed 12 percent above the year-earlier level. T he expansion in broiler breeder flocks that has already occurred will create strong pressure for a large increase in broiler production and low prices through mid-1966.

UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION

United States milk production for June is estimated dt 11,863 mill ion pounds, sl ightly above a year earl ier and about the same as the 1959-63 average for the month. On a daily basis, milk production decl ined about one-half of one percent from May, compared with a 1.3 percent decl ine a year earl ier. June production was equivalent to 2.03 pounds per person daily, compared with 2.05 pounds a year earl ier. Output per cow in June averaged 25.2 pounds daily, unchanged from May but 3 percent above June 1964.

Pasture feed was better than usual in most areas of the country on July I. For the United States, reported condition of dairy pastures on July I averaged 81 percent of normal for the date, 3 points higher than a year earl ier. Ample rainfall in the Plains States and the Southeast stimulated rapid pasture growth during June, while pastures in the Northeast were drying up.

GEORG IA: Production of summer vegetables and melons is expected to be about the same as a year ago,
according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. June showers improved the condition of most crops which had a somewhat slow start as a result of earl ier dry weather.
On July 1 watermelons and cantaloups were moving in heavy volume in south Georgia. Yields have been slightly better than average, but frequent showers have hampered pickings in some areas. Harvest of summer cabbage in the mountain counties and first pickings of 1ima beans was underway y the first of the month. Summer snap beans are expected to be ready for market by mid-July.

Suppl ies of summer vegetables for which estimates are available are exmore than last year but 2 percent less than average. The crops included ts for about two-thirds of total summer production.
LIMA BEANS: The first forecast of summer lima bean production is 283,000 hundredweight, I percent above last year but 12 percent below the 1959-63 average. In Alabama, June rains
mproved crop growth. Harvest was at peak in the Dothan area by the end of June and will be gene~1 In the northern areas during July. In Georgia, harvest was underway about July 1 in southern areas and Is expected to start In central and northern areas about July 15. Harvest in North arolina should be active through July. In Maryland, pickings started during the first week of July. In New Jersey, harvest is expected to start by mid-July with heavy movement by the end of the month. In New York, harvest is expected to start about August I in both Long Island and upstate a rea s.
SNAP BEANS: Summer snap bean production is forecast at 1,168,000 hundredweight, 1 percent below last year. In New England, the crop made a favorable start but dry weather, expe-
tlally in Connecticut, hampered growth of non-irrigated fields. Harvest started about July I wi th vo Iume expected by mid-month. In New York, ha rves t s ta rted the firs t week in Ju Iy on Long Island and is expected to continue through early October. In Pennsylvania, picking began in iouthern areas the last week of June. Low yields were harvested in southwest and southeast areas of Ohio because of inadequate moisture during June. Harvest was just starting In northern areas on the first of July. In 111 inois, snap bean harvest started about mid-June. In Michigan, olume harvest was expected to occur later than usual. Prospects in southwest Virginia are ~od. In North Carol Ina, marketing starte~ In the southwest mountain counties in late June, and supplies should be available through August. Summer snap beans in Georgia have made good rogress. Harvest is expected by mid-July. In Tennessee, harvest started about mid-June and ,was In full swing on July I. In Alabama, harvest had begun in all areas by late June. In Colorado, cool weather slowed growth but present prospects point to a good crop.
CANTALOUPS: Production of early summer cantaloups is estimated at 613,000 hundredweight, 9 percent more than 1964 but 6 percent less than the 1959-63 average. Harvest of
~ntaloups in South Carol Ina began in late June. Harvest of cantaloups in Georgia was nearing ~ak on July I. Light picking started in central Arizona in late June. Suppl ies should be ~allable until late July.
~ERMELONS: Production of early summer watennelons is placed at 15,584,000 hundredweight, 3 percent more than last year. In North Carol ina, harvest is expected to start
about mid-July. In South Carol ina, harvest was active by July 1 in the Allendale-Barnwell area nd just beginning in the Pageland-Chesterfield area. Harvest of watermelons in southern Georgia neared peak on July 1. Picking has been somewhat irregular due to frequent June showers. Size of harvested melons has been slightly smaller than usual. In Alabama and MissisIppi, June rains were beneficial and harvest was underway on July I. A good crop is In prospect In Arkansas. In Louisiana, harvest of melons got underway after mid-June. In Oklahoma, picking should start by mid-July. Harvest was past peak in extreme south Texas by July I and was at peak !n the Pearsall-Stockdale dist.rict. Harvest In central and east Texas was underway July 1 with good volume expected through July. In Arizona, harvest of early fields was underway in late June and good suppl ies are expected through July. Harvest in Cal ifornla started by July 1. Supplies ~ould increase through July as picking moves into the San Joaquin Valley.

The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $8. 50 to $10.00 with an average of $9.25 per hundred. The average prices last year were 59 cents for eggs and $8. 50 for chicks.

feed July 1 during July, August, and September. If these intentions are fulfilled,
this will result in a 6 percent increase over the 4,100,000 head marketed during the same period last year from the July 1 numbers. Intentions are to market 30 percent of the 3 month total during Jul3 and 35 percent in both August and Septem-
ber. Expected marketings are based upon the usual relationship between survey data and actual marketings.

The increase of 9 percent above last.Year 'in the Texas lamb crop plus . increases in 4 other Western States nearly offset decl ines in the remaining 8 .~ \'Jestern States. The 'lambing percentage in the 13 \'/estern States as comparecf . with 1964 was higher in 5 Stat~s, smaller in 7 States, and unchanged in 1 State.

NATIVE STATES

The lamb crop in the 35 Native States totaled 5.579.000.head--down 5 percent from the 1964 crop. It was larger than 1964 in 6 States, lower in 23 States and unchanged in 6 States. The major factor in the smaller lamb crop was a 4 percent decl ine in the number of ewes 1 year old and older January I, 1965, from a year earl ier. The lambing percentage at 105 was 1 percentage point below the 1964 figure.

Georgia Calf Crop Down 2. Percent'jFrom 1964

...

The 1965 calf crop in Georgia is expected to total 640,000 head, accord-;

ing to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This would be 2. percent less than

the 1964 cdf crop of 654,000 but 5 percent above the 1959-63 average of

610,000 head. ,..\.

.!

The.re were 831,000 head of cows and heifers 2. ye.ars old and olqer on
Georgia farms January 1~ .'1965, co~pared with 818,000 head the same time in 1964. The ratio of calves expected'to cows and hei~ers 2. y~ars old "nd'older}s 77 percent this year compared to 80 percent in 1~64 indicating that fewer of the
January 1 animals will be used as brood cows.

UNITED $T..ATES: Calf Crop up Slightly From Last Year

A calf crop of 43, 119,000 head is expected for the United States in 1965, co'mpared with the 1964 calf crop of 42., 989, 000 -- an increase of less than 1 percent according to the Crop aeporting Board.

The number of cows and heifers 2. years old and older on farms and ranches January 1, 1965 totaled 50,476,000 head, up 1 percent from the 49,899,000 on hand a year: earlier.

T.l?-e number of calves born and to be born in 1965'expressed as a perc'ent of cows and heifers Z years old and older the first of the year is 85 'percent compared with 86 percent in 1964. This percentage is not strictly a calving rate because the January 1 inventory of cows and heifers 2. years old and older does not in~lude all heifers that give birth to calves during the year. and includes some cows that die or are slaughtered before calving.

N01=tTH CENTRAL STATES:

Atl of the East North Central States show a decline in the ca'lf crop from

1964 to 196.5. However, four of the seven West North Central States (Iowa, .

N9rth Dakota, South Dakota, and Nebraska) expect larger calf crops in 1965

than a yea.r earlier. South Dakota shows the largest percentage increase in the

North Central States -- up 7 percent, while Michigan shows the largest decline,

6 percent~

WESTERN ST;A'{ES:

GEORGIA - AUGUST 1 COTTON REPORT

August 9, 1965

Prospects on August 1 indicate a Georgia cotton crop of 580,000 bales (500-pounds gross weight), according to information reported by crop correspondents to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 37,000 bales below final production in 1964, but 45,000 bales above the
t~5O;S9 average production of 535,000 bales.
C( , t I : ( " { , " 7
Indicated lint yield per acre of 464 pounds is below the 1964 record yield of 467 pounds, but exceeds all other years and is 78 pounds above the 1959-63 average.

Unfavorable weather during the early spring months delayed planting operations, and the crop is later than usual. Stands are irregular, especially in the northern districts. Dry weather during May and early June made it possible for growers to do a good job cultivating the crop and controlling early insect infestation. Starting on June 10, all areas received frequent rains for about 10 days, and rains continued in some sections all through July. It has been very difficult for growers to carry out an effective insect control program. The excessive moisture caused large vegetative growth in many areas, and airplanes are being used for poisoning operations. Dry weather is badly needed in most areas of the State.

Final outturn of the crop compared with the forecast will depend upon whether the various factors affecting the crop during the remainder of the season are more or less favorable than normal.

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF AUGUST 1, t965

--.:, Geprg,ia's. crops made good, progress during July, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service" Rainfall was' ample to excessive, throughout most'of the. State during the month and resulted in rapid vegetative growth and generally good yield prospects. Heavy rains, however" damageq peaches and some tobacco in local areas and made insect and disease control in all crops difficult'.

acre is expected and compares with the 42 bushel average last year and the pre-

vious record yield of 43 bushels harvested in 1963. Acreage to be harvested for

bushels produced in 1964. The increase in production is the result'of a much lar.ger acreage for harvest for beans. Yield per acre is forecast at 20 bushels the same as produced last year.

QEtton Product!n Down 17Jooq Bales: Production of cotton is ~~aced at 580,000

bales compared with 617,OOO'bales harves~ed

in 1964. The production decline is caused by a decrease of 32;'000 acres for har-

The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $8. 50 to $11.00 with an average of $9. 50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 61 cents for eggs and $8. 75 for chicks.

The average base valuation reported for broilers during the week ended August 7 was 15.08 cents per pound fob plant compared with 15. 18 cents the previous week and 14.45 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federa1State Market News Service.

Acreage and Production of Principal Crops

August 1, 1965

Athens, Georgia

Release Date: August 11, 1965

----------------------------------------------

GEORG IA:

Watermelon harvest was virtually completed on August 1. However, llscrappings" in some areas will furnish 1ight suppl ies during August. Lima bean harvest was hampered by frequent showers during July, but picking was underway in most areas on August 1. Harvest of late summer cabbaqe from mountain counties was making good progress at the beginning of the month and ample suppl ies are expected until about mid-August. Light harvest of summer snap beans has started in North Georgia.

UNITED STATES:
CANTALOUPS: Mid-summer 'production estimate of 6.5 mill ion cwt., is 12 percent below last year. Heavy movement from Cal ifornia is expected throughout August. Late
summer production is forecast at 1.0 mill ion cwt., 5 percent below the 1964 crop.
LIMA BEANS: P.roduction of summer 1ima beans, at 282,000 cwt., is 1 percent above last year. Harvest in North Carol ina is later than usual. Alabama's first crop
harvest is virtually complete in most areas. Crop prospects are good in New Jersey. Cold nights delayed growth in New York, but harvest is expected to start by mid-August.
SNAP BEANS: Summer snap bean production is forecast at 1,134,000 cwt., 4 percent below last year. New England harvest has passed the peak, but moderately heavy
volume is expected through August. Cool weather resulted in a later than normal New York crop. Pennsylvania beans are moving in volume. Southern Ohio harvest was at peak on August 1, and nearing peak in northern areas. Harvest of early planting is virtua!ly completed in 111 inois. Heavy volume is expected through early August in Michigan. Dry weather reduced yields in the east central area. Volume harvest is underway in Virginia. North Carol ina volume was below normal during July, but a good supply is expected during August. Volume movement from Tennessee continues. Excessive rainfall reduced qual ity on some acreage in Tennessee and delayed early harvest in Colorado. Good suppl ies are expected to continue for local markets in Alabama.
CABBAGE: Late summer production of 3,510,000 cwt., is 10 percent more than last year. Recent rains should be beneficial to the dry Pennsylvania area. Harvest in
Indiana has progressed well. Movement in Georgia is expected to be completed by midAugust. A small volume will be available for marketing during August in North Carol ina. In 111 inois, early harvested heads were smaller than usual. Hot July weather in Washington decreased head size this year. Movement for fresh market remained at steady levels. Late July rains in Colorado delayed harvesting, but cutting is underway in all areas. Favorable growing temperatures in the coastal counties of California will result in continued supplies at moderate levels during Au~ust.
WATERMELONS: Early summer watermelon production at 15,032,000 cwt. is 1 percent below last year and 6 percent below average. In California, harvest began in
July; peak movement expected in August with suppl ies available into October from the San Joaquin Valley, including Westside district. Arizona harvest was virtually completed by August 1. Texas peak movement occurred in late July. Late plantings should furnish 1ight suppl ies during August. Harvest is near completion in Louisiana except in the Farmerville area where 'shipments should continue through August. Arkansas watermelons are moving in volume from all areas. Southern Mississippi movement is virtually complete and is nearing completion in the central and northeastern areas of the State. South Alabama harvest was complete with present suppl ies originating mostly in the central area. Picking is just beginning in the northern counties. South Carol ina harvest was nearing the end by August I, with only 1ight shipments expected through this month. Harvest in North Carol ina has passed the peak.

The production estimate for June has been revised downward to 11.773 mill ion pounds. which is about one-half percent below June last year. July milk production amounted to 1.80 pounds per person daily, compared with 1.83 pounds in July 1964. Milk production per cow averaged 701 pounds in July,
about 3 percent more than a year earl ier.

Reported condition of dairy pastures on August 1 averaged 75 percent of normal, 6 percentage points better than on August I last year. but 3 points below the 1959-63 average for
the date. July rainfall was near normal in much of the country but in the Northeast was

EARLY FALL HARVEST UNDERWAY: RECORD YIELDS EXPECTED

Athens, Ga., August 16 -- Georgia's crop condition remains favorable,

according 'to the Crop Reporting Service. Soil moisture varied from adequate

to surplus in the south but was lacking in some northern counties.

Corn in southern counties was rapidly maturing. The State average yield is forecast at 48 bushels, 5 bushels above the previous record high o Late maturing corn was in need of rain.

The condition of cotton declined slightly, according to County Agents' reports. Frequent showers in some areas hampered insect control measures and resulted in a' mild increase in boll weevil infestation.

Peanut harvesting, although barely begun, was interrupted by scattered showers in the extreme southweste Insect$: and diseases have caused damage in some areas, but yleid indications are at a record high. Tobacco harvest was virtually completed and marketing continued very active.

~ harvesting was hindered in the southern counties by scattered showers, but was active in the north~ Frequent showers reduced quality of some hays but provided for excellent growth. Soybeans continued to make
good progress.

Pecan prospects varied from fair to good in most areas. Marketing of
l!l!h potatoe~, ~~ cabba~e, and snap beans remained active in the northern
counties. Early harvest of sweetpo~atoes and apples proceeded.

Pastures provided good grazing and I ivestock condition remained good.

WEATHER SU~ - Modera.te. to locally heavy rains fell over most of Georgia during the week ending Friday, August 13. Almost daily showers brought totals of more than two inches to much of the southern part of the State. The FAA station on Saint Simons Island measured over six inches during the week, with about five Inches falling in one 24-hour period. Rainfall was generally lighter In the north, where some weather observers report.ed less than one-half inch~ Scattered areas in north Georgia were still dry at the end of the periodM Showers continued to occur over the weekend but were generally lighter and more scattered than earlier in the week.
Temperatures were a little warmer than during the previous week but still averaged near to slightly below seasonal nonnals. A warming trend, during the last part of the week, interrupted the persistent mild summer weather and bi-6ught afternoon read!ngs in toe mid and upper l'J~n.ctea tQ many areas by the weekend. Some places experienced some of their hottest weather of the summer on Saturday and Sunday.

GEORGIA TURKEY PRODUCTION DOWN 12 PERCENT

Georgia: The 1965 turkey production in Georgia is expected to be 1,191,000 head com------- pared with 1,358,000 in 1964 - or a decrease of 12 percent - according to the
Georgia Crop Reporting Service. The reduction is in the heavy breeds, with a decline of
13 percent - a production of 1,140,000 head compared with 1,315,000 last year. Production of light breeds is expected to be 51,000 - 18 percent above the 43,000 raised last season.

UNITED STATES TURKEY CROP LARGER THAN LAST YEAR

~~~ed~~~: Turkeys raised in 1965 are expected to total 103.7 million birds, 4 per-
cent above last year's crop, according to the Crop Reporting Board. The
number of heavy white turkeys being raised is up 20 percent, light breeds are up 4 percent,
but bronze and other heavy breeds are down 9 percent. An increase in production of turkeys
is expected in all regions of the country except the East North Central and the West where 1
percent decreases are anticipated in each region. Increases are 12 percent in the South At-
lantic, 9 percent in both the North Atlantic and the South Central and 5 percent in the West
North Central States.

The number of heavy breed turkeys raised in 1965 is expected to total 91.8 million compared with 88.2 million last year. Increases in heavy breeds are 13 percent in the South Atlantic, 12 percent in the North Atlantic, 10 percent in the South Central, and 4 percent in
the West North Central. Heavy breeds are down 1 percent in both the East North Central and
the Western regions. The heavy white turkey crop of 46.9 million is 51 percent of all
heavies compared with 44 percent last year and is the first year heavy whites have exceeded
production of other heavies. Increases in heavy white production are expected in all regions.

Other heavy breed turkeys raised this year is 44.9 million, 9 percent below the 49.2 million raised in 1964. Decreases are 20 percent in the East North Central, 15 percent in the West, and 7 percent in the West North Central.

Number of light breed turkeys raised totaled 12.0 million compared with 11.5 million in 1964. Increases in light breed production are 10 percent in the South Atlantic and 7 percent in the West North Central. These more than offset decreases of 15 percent in the North Atlantic, 11 percent in the West, 4 percent in the South Central, and 3 percent in the East
North Central.

Minnesota, the leading turkey producing state this year, will raise 15.9 million birds; followed by California with 14.8; Iowa, 8.2; Missouri, 7.6; North Carolina, 5.6; Wisconsin,
5.4; and Texas with 5.2. An increase of 25 percent in North Carolina moved production in
that State from eighth place in 1964 to fifth place in 1965.

Turkey poults hatched September 1964 through July 1965 were 3 percent more than in the
corresponding period the previous year. Increases, compared with a year earlier, occurred
in the main hatching season February through July with the largest percentage increase in
July. The number of heavy breed eggs in incubators on August 1 was up 43 percent from a year
earlier. The number of light breed eggs in incubators was down 1 percent from August 1 last
year. Prices received by producers for live turkeys have been above the same months of 1964 for every month since January 1965.

Broiler Production and Potential Expand~
. . I~:~"' ,.~
. ,:"'; . B'roil,e'r .production has been expanding"r~pidl'yi~ r.ecent~onths--a c0':lse:.' quence of the extended period. of highe'1";b:roUet .p:r4:tes.' ,Farm"broiler :p~i'ceB..have
exceeded a year earlier .in 13 out of the past 14 months. The number ot broilers '
slaughtered in Federally inspected plants in July-August was up about, 8 :percent, . '. from a year earlier. Slaughter had run 3 percent higher in the first quart~r. 4
percent higher in the second quarter and 7 percent higl),~r in July. Data ,on: .br.Qil-el"
chick placements and egg settings in 23 States through August 24 indicates that
about 12 percent more broilers than a ye'ar earlier will beavailab1e :for slaughter
in September-Novembe,r .. The number of broilers produced in 1965 will exceed
the,Z. 161 million raised in 1964,' probably by about 7 percent ..

." The expansion in production likely will extend well into 1966. Demand prospects look 'favcirable and a' rapid buildup is occurring in broiler hatching egg supply flocks. Pullet chicks added to these flocks in February-May were up 19 percent from that period last year. Consequently, the indicated number of layers producing hatching eggs will climb from 4 percent above the 1964 lev~l in August to 12 percent above by December., Even though pullet chicks placed for supply flocks in June were at the year earlie'r level and in July were about l'percent , under -July 1964, the indicated size 'of the' Nation's broiler hatchery supply will'" continue to exceed a year earlier by around 12 percent into early 1966'. ' Broiler production is' more closely related. to the size of the hatching egg supply floc~ . when broiler prices are unfavorable than when they'are favorable. This is because broiler firms find it relatively easy to expand production by using smaller eggs and by keeping layer's in production longer when br'oHer prices are 'high. However. there is much less incentive to reduce broiler production, even in th'e'' face of low prices. after investments have already been made in expanded hatching egg supply flocks.

Reduced J.~ed Meat Supplies Strengthen B,roiler Market

Farm broiler prices'in January ... August averaged 15.-2 cents per pound. 1. 0 cent above a year earlier. Prices were higher even though i!""'ederally inspected broiler slaughter was 4 percent greater. The price strength stems from substantially reduced production of pork and beef which significantly reduced total meat supplies. Combined commercial production of poultry and red meat dropped from 6 percent abo-ve a year earlier in fourth quarter 1964 to 3 percent below in July 1965.

Between the same 2 periods. the index of prices received by farmers for meat animals advanced from 262 to 344. Most of the increase occurred in this year's second quarter. Since June, meat animal prices have held relatively steady around the mid- year level.

The August farm broiler price. at 15.3 cents per pound. was down 0.3 cent from July, but was 0.6 cent above August last year. In New York City, the average delivered price paid for ice-packed Grade A broilers in August was about 26. 7 cents per pound. compared with 26.8 cents in July and 26. 1 cents in August 1964., On September 2, prices for live broilers in Delmarva ranged from 15.9 to 16.9 cents per pound. up &lightly from a year earlier.

The market has been absorbing about 10 percent more broilers in recent weeks than a year ago at higher prices. Red meat supplies likely will continue tight with prices well above a year earlier. though some sea.sonal decline in prices is in prospect for the coming months.. But continued expansion in broiler production may push farm broiler prices below last fall's level of 14.3 cents per pound. Somewhat lower prices later in the year. however. would still result in the average U. S. farm prices or 1965 being significantly higher than the 14. Z cents per pound in 1964.

(OVER)

Broiler Exports Decline

U. S,. broiler exports in first half 1965 fell to 32.9 million pounds from

56.0 million: a year earlier'.... June exports were 6.0 million pounds .compareq.

with '6. 1 million in May anq .8.7, million i~ .rune, last ye,ai-. Over half of the

January-June decline in 'exports stemmed from' reduced shipments to West Ger-

many whici:l totaled, only 8.0 m,illion' pounds, down from 20. ,I million in the first

half last year. Howeve:r, ex?orts to,S,wi1;z~J;'land, ,Austria, .Gr~ece. Japan, and

Hong Kong were also off sharply. '.. '" ., ..,

,

Smaller U. S. broiler exports so far this year are due mainly ~o ,sharply

higher levies on shipments to the eommon Market and to greatly intensified com-

petition in the European market and elsewhere from European countries now sub-

sidizing exports.. Total U. S _ br.oiler. ,~ports r'eached a peak of 173 million

pounds in,.1962, and then dropped to a. range of 110~to 112 ,million pounds in the

next 2 years.

'

Lower-Priced Fe~d In Prospect

. ' Feed grain prices this ,fall and winter may average' a little, lower-than in 1964-65. During October 196,4-August 1965 (the .f~rst 11 months of the current ' feeding year), prices, rece~ved by farmers have averaged 6 percent above a year earlier and were the highest since 1956-57. Lower feed grain prices in 1965-66
are in prospect as a result of the larger feed grain crop &:nd lower loan rates.
Feed grain production estimates as of August 1 P9int to a crop l5percent larger than the 1964 crop.

In 1964-65, smaller "free" su.pplies of. corn than a year earlier led to larger sales by eee and corn prices from January to June advanced about in line with the minimum eee sale price based on the nationalaverage loan rate plus carrying charges~ However, the,larger 1965 corn crop--placed at 4. 1 million bushels" 15 percent more than in 1964 as of August l--will provide much larger "free" supplies in 1965-66. Thus,'in the feeding year beginning in October less " corn is expected to be withdrawn f,rom eee stocks.

L9an rates for the 1965 corn and oats crops are down 5 cents per bushel' from 196~ and the barley loan is 4 cents lower. For grain sorghum the rate is ' down 12 cents per 100 pounds. The 1965 rates are: eorn, $1. 05; oats, $0.60; barley. $0.80; and grain sorghum, $1. 65. The 1965 Feed Grain Program pro -,,' vides for eee sales of feed grains at not less than the 1965 loan rates plus monthly carrying charges and a specified markup reflecting uniform grain storage agreement truck and rail receiving charges. The markup for corn probably will be about 4 cents per bushel. L'1 1964-65, the markup was not used in settiD,g the eee s~le price for corn. The markup for sorghum grain is 9 cents per bushel compared with 11 cents in 1964-65.

The soybean crop in 1965, as of August 1, was forecast to be 23 percent larger than in 1964. A crop this large would result in much lar.ger soybean meal production and an increase in high-protein feed supplies in 1965-66. High-protein feed prices were lower than a year earlier in October-March, but have been high. er this past spring and summer. For the year as a whole, they are expected to average about the same as in 1963-64.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT

Placement of brl?iler chicks in Georgia during the week ended August 28 was 7, 987, 000- -1 percent more than in the previous week and 14 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

An estimated 10, 324, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-4 percent less than in the previous week and 14 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 55 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 62 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned . cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $8. 50 to $10. 50 with an average of $9.50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 61 cents for eggs and $9.00 for chicks.

The average base valuation reported for broilers during the week ended August 28 was 15.58 cents per pound fob plant compared with 15.38 cents the previous week and 15. 15 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federa1State Market News Service.

Re Ieased 9/2/65 GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE

GEORGIA PRICES RECEIVED INDEX UP 3 POINTS FROM JULY IS

Higher prices for tobacco, wheat, oats, hay, peanuts, hogs and eggs, more than offset
lower prices for cotton, sweetpotatoes and beef cattle to push the Index of Prices Received by Georgia Farmers 3 points higher than in July to 262. This was 11 points higher than the August 15, 1964 Index.

The Index of Prices Received for Livestock and Livestock Products at 230 was 2 points above the July Index and 32 points above August of last year. Higher prices were received for hogs and eggs while prices of beef cattle, chicken, and milk were below a month ago.

UNITED STATES PRICES RECEIVED INDEX DOWN 3 POINTS PARITY INDEX DOWN 2 POINTS, PARITY RATIO 78
The Index of Prices Received by Farmers declined 3 points (1 percent) during the month ended August 15 to 250 percent of Its 1910-14 average. Contributing most to the decl ine were sharply lower prices for potatoes. Partially offsetting were price increases for wholesale milk, oranges, hogs, and eggs. The index was 8 percent above August 1964.
The Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, was down 2 points (2/3 of I percent) during the month to 321. The August index was nearly 3 percent above a year earlier.

With farm product prices off 3 points and prices paid by farmers off 2 points in August, the Parity Ratio, at 78, was unchanged from July, but was 4 points above a year ea rl i e r.

GEORGIA COTTON REPORT AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 196.5

September 8, 1965

Georgia's 196.5 cotton crop is forecast at .575,000 bales based on information reported by crop correspondents as of September 1, the Georgia Crop Reporting Service said today. This is 5,000 bales below the August 1 estimate and 42,000 bales below total production in 1964. The five-year (19.59-63) average production is .53.5,000 bales. Indicated lint yield per acre of 460 pounds is 7 pounds less than last year, but 74 pounds more than the five-year(19.59-63) average of 386 pounds.

Frequent showers have made it difficult for growers in the southern districts to carry out an effective insect control program. In some areas vegetative growth is very large, and more acreage was being poisoned by plane than normal. Yield prospects vary widely by areas and by farms. In the northern districts, dry weather has been favorable for insect control, but has caused some shedding of squares and small bolls. Crop progress is later than usual.

,

The Bureau of Census reports 36,812 running bales ginned prior to September 1 compared with 17,9.51 to the same date in 1964 and 124,.544 in 1963.

Acreage and Production of :r:rincipal Crops September 1, 1965

Athens, Georgia

Release Date: September 9, 1965

GEORGIA:
Only a light volume of summer produced vegetables remain for harvest. Land preparation and planting of fall vegetables have been active in southern areas when weather conditions would permit.

UNITED STATES:
LIMA BEANS: Production of summer lima beans is 265, 000 "hundredweight, 5 percent below the 1964 crop and 18 percent below the 1959-63 average.
In New York and New Jersey, light supplies are expected to continue through September. Harvest has tapered off in Maryland, but light volume should be available until frost. In North Carolina, the major portion of the crop was harve sted by September 1 but some movement is expected until the end of the month. Harvest in Georgia was nearing completion by the end of August. In Alabama, light supplies continue, mainly for local consumption.

SNAP BEANS: Production of summer snap beans is estimated at 1,169,000 hundredweight, 1 percent below last year. Moderate volume from
late plantings in New England should continue until frost. Volume supplies were available in New York on September 1, with a steady supply expected through most of the month. Recent rains in Pennsylvania and Ohio benefited late acreage. Harvest in Ohio was past the peak in many areas by the end of August. Most areas of Illinois received ample rainfall during August which increased the late yields. In Michigan, good rains after mid-August favored late crop development. Harvest was at peak levels by September 1, and should continue into early October. Harvest in southwest Virginia was nearly completed by September 1. Limited supplies should be available from North Carolina during September. In north Georgia, only a few late plantings remainded for harvest on September 1. The Johnson County, Tennessee area received adequate to surplus amounts of rainfall during August. Supplies are expected to be available until mid-October. Prospects are good in northern Alabama. In Colorado, harvest was practically complete by September 1 except for a few late fields.

CUCUMBERS: Early fall cucumber production is forecast at 682,000 hundredweight, 4 percent above last year and 7 percent above average. Prospects
in Virginia are promising as vine growth has generally been good. Harvest was expected to start by the first week of September. In South Carolina, conditions favored good growth. The hot, dry weather conditions in Georgia have delayed harvest. Picking was underway in Louisiana by September 1 with volume movement expected the latter part of the month. In Texas, harvest started in late August on the High Plains and should get underway in the San Antonio and Winter Garden areas during the latter part of September. Supplies are expected to be available from the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and Coastal Bend areas by late October.

INFORMATION ON 1966 CROPS

CABBAGE: Based on grower I s intentions, 41,900 acres 0 f winter cabbage are

expected to be harvested during the 1965-66 "inter season. This

total compares with 39, 500 acres harvested last year and the 1960-64 average

of 44,190 acres. In Florida, transplanting is expected to begin in early Sep-

tember. Planting was underway in all south Texas areas by September l.



Heavy rains in mid-August in the San Antonio and Rio Gr mde Valley areas

caused replanting of several fields. In the Rio Grande V alley, with about three-

fourths of the State I s acreage, planting was slowed becau e cotton picking was

delayed by a wet spell during mid-August. Most of the i lcrease from 1965 is

expected in this area with other areas showing little chan ~e from last year.

Irrigation water is adequate in all areas. Planting of ca bage in Arizona began

in early July. Weather conditions have been favorable fa ~ early growth and

development.

HARVEST REGAINS MOMENTUM

Athens, Ga., September 13 -- Harvesting of Georgia crops regained momentum in most areas after a temporary interruption the first of the week, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. In some areas soybea~s and other late maturing crops need additional moisture .

County Agents report cotton harvest al~ost one-fourth complete for the State with some southernCOWities well past the halfway point and harvest just beginning in northern counties. Moot picking to date has been by hando Defoliants have been applied to considerable acreage that is. to be machine pickedo

Some counties are reporting record peanut yields. Spanish harvest is almost complete an.d the harvest of runner varieties is well underway. Almost three-fourths of the crop has been threshed.

Corn harvest is proceeding slowly as weather has not been suitable for drying and farmers are placing their main attention on cotton and peanuts. Less than ten percent of the crop has been gathered~

Soybean condition remained about the same as the previous week. In some areas the lack of soil moisture reduced prospects and some reports indicate insects are difficult to control. The crop is fast approaching maturity in southern counties.

Late hay crops are being gathered with mostly Bood yields. Silage making is nearing completion. Pastures are furnishing ample grazing.

Land prepaDation for fall planted crops is pro.ceeding rapidly as soil moisture generally was ample. Much of the winter grazing is up to a stand in middle and northern counties.

Pecan prospects varied considerably, but a fair to good crop is expected in most counties.

WEATHER SUMMARY - Rainfall was generally light over Georgia during the week ending Friday, September 10. With only a few exceptions, weekly totals were less than one-half ,inch and some weather observers reported no measurable rain. The weekend brought an increase in cloudiness and shower activity to the western part of the State as hurricane Betsy passed several hundred miles to the west and northwest. This destructive storm had no other effects on Georgia. Parts of the extreme north, and scattered other areas, were still very dry at the end of the week.

Temperatures were unusually mild early in the week but hot and

humid weather teturned to the State after Thursday. Near record low

temperatures, for early September, were recorded at cevera1 places at

midweek. increased

The totu1 production of ice cream in 1964, at 0,725,000 gallons, was nearly 9 percent
above the 1963 output of 8,039,000 gallons. Ice milk production in the State registered
a 19 percent increase during the year, totaling 5,833,000 gallons. Milk sherbet also showed an increase, rising from 395,000 gallons in 1963 to 540,000 in 1964. The output of ~ ices totaled 277,000 gallons, compared with the 1963 total of 239,000 gallons.

Creamed cottage cheese production during 1964 amounted to 3,424,000 pounds. This compared with the 3,242,000 pounds manufactured by Georgia plants during the previous year. The total production of cottage cheese curd was 2,516,000 pounds compared with 2,425,000 in 1963. Most of the curd was processed into creamed cottage cheese.

Un i ted States:
A total of 64,6 bill ion pounds of net whole milk equivalent was used In the 1964 production of manufactured dairy products in the United States. This is an increase of 3 percent from 1963 and accounts for 51 percent of the Nation's total milk production for the year.
Ice ~ production totaled 735.6 mill ion gallons In 1964, a new high, 3 percent above the year before and 6 percent above the 1958-62 annual average. Seven out of the 8 regions of the Nation had increases over 1963. New York was number one among ice cream producing States, followed by Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, and 111 inois. These five States accounted for 40 percent of total production.
Ice milk production in 1964 was 219 mill ion gallons, making the 20th consecutive year of annual increases. Output in 1964 increased 8 percent over the year before and was 46 percent Jbove average. Cal ifornia, with 11 percent of the Nation's total, continued in first place followed by North Carol ina, Ohio, 111 inois, an~ ~ennsylvania. This group of States accounted for about a third of the Nation's production.
Total cheese production set a new record in 1964. At 1.7 bill ion pounds, annual production was 6 percent more than in 1963 and 15 percent 3bove the 5-year annual average. Wisconsin continued to lead In total cheese production for 1964, accounting for 44 percent of the United States total. Next States in order of production were New York, Missouri, 111 inois, and Iowa. Combined production for these 5 States accounted for two-thirds of the Nation's total output.
Creamery butter output In 1964 was 1.4 bill ion pounds. This is an increase of 2 percent from the year before and is 1 percent above the 1958-62 average. Minnesota with 26 percent of the Nation's total continued as the leading State in butter ~roduction. Next in order of production were Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, and Michigan.
Combined production of ~ frozen desserts, including ice cream, ice milk, milk sherbet, Mellorine and water ices, set another record high. The 1964 output of 1.1 bill ion gallons rose 4 percent above the previous year and 13 percent above average. Ice cream was 67 percent of the total frozen desserts production in 1964, 1 percentage point less than in 1963. Ice nilk, at 20 percent of the total, gained 1 point. Mel10rine at 5 percent, sherbet at 4 percent, water ices at 3 percent, and other frozen dairy products at less than 1 percent were all unchanged from 1963 to 1964 in their proportion of the total output of frozen desserts.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 55 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 62 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $8. 50 to $10.50 with an average of $9. 50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 62 cents for eggs and $9.25 for chicks.

The average base valuation reported for broilers during the week ended September 11 was 15. 56 cents per pound fob plant compared with 15.82 cents the previous week and 14.75 cents the comparable week last year according to the Federal-State Market News Service.

UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION

August milk production in the United States is estimated at 10,151 mill ion pounds,
about I percent less than a year earl ier, but sl ightly above the 1959-63 average. for the month. Production decl ined 7 percent from July to August, compared with a decl ine of 6 percent at this season last year. Relative to population, milk production averaged 1.68 pounds per person daily, compared with 1.72 pounds in August a year ago. Output per cow
averaged 655 pounds in August, 3 percent above the year-earl ier rate.

Dairy pasture condition in the United States on September I averaged 75 percent of normal. This is much better than the 65 percent reported a year earl ier but 2 points below the 1959-63 average for the date. Reported condition held unchanged from August I
to September I this year -- the average change is a decline of I point. Adequate soil
moisture in most areas, with below-normal temperatures, were favorable for pasture growth.
However. most of the Northeast needs more rain to provide good fall pasture feed.

HARVEST IN FULL SWING
Athens, Ga., September 20 - Harvest of cotton, corn and peanuts
made good progress during the week as Georgia farmers took advantage
of ideal harvest weather. According to the Crop Reporting Service,
haying was also very active, but land preparation and fall planting were
delayed in some areas due to the lack of soil moisture.
Cotton harvest, with mechanical pickers now in. operation, moved forward--ver'y rapidly in southern counties. In north Georgia ha.rvest was well underway, but most picking to date has been by hand. Nearly forty percent of the crop has been harvested statewide according. to Ccunty Agents 1 reports.
Peanut picking and threshing reached the final stages in the commercial belt during the week. Yields have been at record high levels in many counties. Corn harvest, although not yet in the full swing sta.ge, showed limited progress in most areas of middle and south' Georgia.
Harvest of late hays and sila~ crops was widespread in all areas. Fall vegetable and apple harvest continued in mountain counties.
Soybean condition was unchanged from the previous week, but most. of the crop was in need of additional moisture. Pecan prospects remained fair to good in most localities.
Fall plowing and planting made only limited progress as soil moisture was depleted in many areas. About 10 percent of the intended small grain acreage had been seeded at the close of the week.

WEATHER SUMMARY - Georgia rainfall continued to show large variations during the past week. Showers Qccurred daily over some parts of the State but, in most 'cases, they were light and widely scattered. Totals for the week ranged from none at a few places to 3.53 inches at Mount Vernon. Several observers in nor'th Georgia measured over an inch early in the week, but nearly one-half the State's reporting. stations received less than one-half inch during the week. Many areas continued dry at the end of the period.

Hot and humid weather prevailed throughout the week. Highs

were in the nineties on several days in most south and central sec-

tions and were generally in the high eighties in north Georgia.

Early morning temperatures were in ~he sif:',ties-and low seventies. Averages for the week ranged from two ~,,~Vive degrees above the mid-

September normals. Compared to norm I, this ~as one of the

warmest weeks of the summer.

The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $8.50 to $10.50 with an average of $9.50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 63 cents for eggs and $9.50 for chicks.

HARVEST MOVES FORWARD AT RAPID PACE

Haryesting activitie.s 'cQptinued' v,ery activ~ in all ~reas of the State,



,

M





according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Showers t;hat, occurretl" ;



late in the week temporarily inte~rupte~ cotton and- corn harvest, but

.



were very beneficial to late crops and pasture~.

. '.,

Corn harvest gained momentum and was the major activity on some



farms in the south. Reported yields a!"e well above average.

.



Peanut digging has been, completed in most counties and nearly 95'

percent of the crop has been threshed.


Cotton harvest made excellent progress during the week as the use of mechanical pickers accelerated. About one-half of the crop has been,.picked, but ,in some counties.'in the deep south harvest has. entered the final stages.

The condition of soybeans declined slightly during the week as soil moisture was short in some areas and insect damage increased. Dry soils also ha~pered land preparation and fall planting

. Pecan prospects continued generally favorable. Fall vegetable harvest has about ended in most north~rn areas.
**

WEATHEI:t SUMMARY - Rainfall was light over'most of Georgia during the week ending Friday, September Z'4, but amounts continued to vary widely from pl~ce to place. Some moderate amounts were reported in parts of south Georgia late in the week and' a few isolated heavy showers fell earlier. The observer at Milledgeville, recorded three inches of rain for the 24-hour period ending at 7 a. m. on the 19th. In contrast, most north Georgia observers measured less than one-half inch of rain during the entire week. Many areas continue dry while scattered sections have had an' excess of rain. Less than an inch has fallen at the Augusta Airport during the last six weeks. There was little or no rain over the State during the weekend.

Temperatures continued unusually warm until late in the week, when much cooler weather moved into the State. Minimum temperatures dropped 15 to 20 degrees from Friday to Saturday morning over north and central sections as the fall season's first major cold front moved over the area. Readings in the low forties were common in the extreme north and the low fifties were reported as far south as Columbus. Averages for the week were slightly above normal in most areas.

GEORGIA PRICES RECEIVED INDEX SAME AS LAST MONTH

Higher prices for cotton more than offset the seasonally lower prices for corn, soybeans, and sweetpotatoes and pushed the Crop Index of Prices Received by Georgia farmers I point higher to 278 on September 15. This was sufficient to overcome the decl ine in Index for Livestock and Livestock Products and thus there was no change in the Index of Prices Received.

The Index of Prices Received for Livestock and Livestock Products was 227, three points lower than on August 15. Lower prices for hogs and chickens more than offset increases for milk, eggs, and beef calves.

UNITED STATES PRICES RECEIVtD, ~~RITV INDEX, i\ND ?l\R ITV RAT I0 UNCHANGED

During the month ended September IS, the Index of Prices Received by Farmers remained unchanged at 250 percent of its 1910-14 average. The most important changes were price decl ines for hogs and potatoes and seasonally higher prices for wholesale milk, oranges, and eggs. The index was 5 percent above September 1964.

The Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, including, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, was unchanged during the month. The September index was nearly 3 percent above a year earl ier.

With prices of farm products and prices paid by farmers both unchanged in September, the Parity Ratio remained steady at 78, but was 2 points above September 1964.

GEORGIA COTTON REPORT AS OF OCTOBER I, 1965

Octobe r 8, 1965

Cotton prospects for Georgia as of October I were for a production of 575,000 bales (500 pounds gross weight), according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. The estimate is the same as indicated a month earl ier and 42,000 bales below the 1964 crop. Indicated 1 int yield per acre of 460 pounds, has been exceeded only oy the 467 pounds harvested in 1964.

Heather conditions during the first 3 weeks of September were very favorable for harvesting operations and good progress was made, especially in the southern districts. Frequent rains the last week of the month delayed farm work.

Harvest was about 75 percent complete by October I in the southern districts, nearly SO percent complete in the central area and about 25 percent complete in the northern area.

Prospects as of October 1 indicated that the 1965 production in the northern districts will be 2,000 bales below last year; the central area will be down 9,000 bales and the southern districts will harvest 31,000 bales less th3n in 1964.

The Bureau of Census reports 278,000 runnin~ bales ginned prior to October I, compared to 295,000 to the same date last year and 435,000 in 1963.

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF OCTOBER 1, 1965

The October 1 outlook for most major crops in Georgia was generally good to very good. Indicated yields and production for several crops are above the levels set a month ago.

50-Bushel Corn Yield: Georgiats 1965 corn yield is forecast at 50.0 bushels per acre. --------- ---- ---- This would be the best yielding crop ever produced in the State and
is 7 bushels more than the previous high of 43.0 harvested in 1963. Prospective production is placed at 76,750,000 bushels, compared with 70,056,000 in 1964 and 74,691,000 in 1963.

Cotton Production Down: Production of cotton is forecast at 575,000 bales -- the same as ------ --------- ---- estimated the previous month but 42,000 bales below the 1964
crop. Indicated lint yield per acre of 460 pounds has been exceeded only by the 467 pounds harvested in 1964.

Tobacco Yield Up: Production of flue-cured tobacco is placed at 114,125,000 pounds. ------ ----- -- Yield per acre is estimated at 2,075 pounds, compared with 1,930 pounds

~nut X!elds Up ~h~EE1Y: Georgia's peanut crop is forecast at 893,550,000 pounds - much above the 820,800,000 pounds produced last year and the
745,680,000 pound crop in 1963. Yield per acre is estimated at 1,850 pounds, compared with the
previous high of 1,710 pounds in 1964.

S-oy-be-an -Pr-o-du-c-ti-o-n -U-p:

An estimated 3,720,000 bushels of soybeans is in prospect for 1965. Production at this level is much above last year as the result of

an increase in acreage. Yield per acre, at 20.0 bushels, is the same as realized last year.

Pecan Prospects Improve: The 1965 pecan crop is forecast at 66,000,000 pounds -- up ---- --------- ------- 2,000,000 pounds from the September 1 forecast. This level is
much above the short crop of 15,000,000 pounds last year, but is much below the record production of 114,000,000 pounds produced in 1963.

Milk Production Up: Milk production on Georgia farms during September totaled 84 million ---- ---------- -- pounds - 3 million above production during the same month last year
but 3 million below the August output.

The 1965 honey crop is expected to total 2~3 mill ion pounds. This is 1 percent below 1964, but 5 percent above the 1959-63 average. Yield is expected to average 50.9 pounds per colony, which is the same average yield as last year but above the 5-year average yield of 49.3 pounds. The estimated production is based on 5,55b,000 colonies on hand July 1, 1965. This represents a 1 percent decl ine in number of colonies from 1964.

Although the U. S. average yield is expected to be the same as 1964, yields fluctuated sharply by regions. The North Atlantic region averaged 34.5 pounds compared with 48.2 in 1964, and the East North Central dropped from 65.0 to 54.1 pounds. Yields increased from 78.6 to 83.1 in the ':/est Nort'h Central; 39.0 to 40.1 in the South Atlantic; 2b.5 to 33.3 in the South Central; and from 50.7 to 56.0 in the Western States. Missouri, Worth Carol ina, South Carol ina, Georgia, and Texas had the highest yield of record dating back to 1939. Weather conditions were general 1, favorable for nectar flow and bee activity in these areas. All States in the South Central resion except Kentucky had yields above 1964 as the spring flow was heavy and the fall jlow is expected to be very good.

Production was down sharply this season in Ohio, Michigan, and \lisconsin as both number of colonies and yield were below a year earl ier. The reduced production can be primarily attributed to the dry wedther during the late spring and early summer period. Extensive winter kill of alfalfa and clover in 'Iisconsin resulted in a shortage of plants for bees to work. In the North Atlantic region all States had a smaller production than 1964 as poor summer nectar flow reduced yields.

Cal ifornia, the largest honey producing State in the Nation, had a yield and production well above both 1964 and the 1959-63 average. In contrast Idaho had a very poor season for honey production as cool, rainy weather and a short season 1imited bee activity.
Stocks of honey on hand for sale by prod~cers' on September 15 totaled 101,962,000. pounds compared with 105,435,000 a year earl ier. "This yea~ls' stocks of hone hands of the producers, were 36 percent of production compared with 37 perc

Marketing Intentions

Cattle feeders stated they intend to market 4,195.000 head or 57 percent of
the October 1, Inventory during October. November, and December. Should feeders
fulfil these intentions, this would be an increase of 5 percent from the 3,989,000
head they marketed from the October 1 number on feed during the same quarter last
year. Cattle feeders expect to market 36 percent of the October December total
during October, and 32 percent each in both November and December. Expected mar~etings are based upon the usual relationship between survey data and actual marketings.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended October 16 was 7, 692, 000- -4 percent more than in the previous week and 13 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

An estimated 10,667,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries--about the same as in the previous week but 11 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 55 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 60 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $8. 50 to $10.50 with an average of $9.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 64 cents for eggs and $9.75 for chicks.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended October 23 was 6,870,000 -- 11 percent less than in the previous week but 9 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.

An estimated 10,712,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries slightly more than in the previous week and 14 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.

The majority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 55 to 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 60 cents per dozen. The price of eggs from flocks with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price. Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported within a range of $8. 50 to $10.50 with an average of $9.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 64 cents for eggs and $9.75 for chicks.

Wheat stocks on October I were 5 percent less than a year earl ier and 21 percent below

average. Stocks of the four feed grains totaled 73 mill ion tons -- 13 percent smaller than

last year and 19 percent less than average. In spite of a decl ine in all wheat stocks,

durum holdings were 16 percent more than last year. Oats were the only feed grain with

larger stocks than last year, but smaller holdings of corn, sorghum, and barley resulted in

a drop in total feed grain stocks. Rye stocks were the largest since October I, 1960 and

flaxseed holdings were one-third more than average. Stocks of soybeans are not included

in this report since estimates of soybean carryover were cha~d to a September I basis and

with hatchery owned cockerels generally was 2 cents below the average price.
Most prices received for broiler chicks by Georgia hatcheries were reported with-
in a range of $8.50 to $10.50 with an average of $9. 50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 64 cents for eggs and $9.75 for chicks.

The 1966 early spring cabbage acreage for harvest is expected to be about the same as one year ago. Field conditions have been good prior to December 1, and many growers
transplanted earlier than usual. Additional moisture will soon be needed for 'growth of plants already set and for additional transplanting

. The final summary for the 1965 crops will be mailed to you in late December or
e~rly January.

1!Elli~ ~~
Acreage of winter cabbage for harvest is placed at 38,700 acres, compared to 39,500
acres last year. Transplanting in Florida continued active through November but the acreage in all major areas is less than that of last year. Harvest began in the Zellwood area in early November and light harvest is expected to begin in the other major areas during December. Volume movement is not expected before mid-January.
Harvest was underway in south Texas by December 1 with good volume available from the San Antonio~inter Garden areas. In the lower Rio Grande Valley, harvest is increasing but volume movement is not expected until late December. Of the total acreage for harvest,
approximately 78 percent is in lower Rio Grande Valley, 11 percent in the Winter Garden, and 8 percent in the San Antonio, Laredo and Coastal Bend areas and the remaining 3 per-
cent is in scattered plantings throughout the remainder of the State.
In Arizona, harvest is underway. Planting in California was completed by November 1. Weather conditions have been generally favorable throughout the desert areas. Moderate supplies were available during November from most of the coastal producing districts. Volume should increase in December as harvest begins in the desert areas.
Growers are expected to harvest 12,150 acres of early ~!gg cabbage in 1966, compared to 12,050 acres in 1965. In South Carolina, planting is expected to begin in early Decem-
ber. Seed beds are in good condition with adequate soil moisture.
Plants are plentiful in Georgia and field conditions were good as of December 1. In Alabama, planting conditions in the southern counties have been favorable. In Louisiana, some early cabbage has already been planted in the southern part of the State, but grovnh has been retarded due to dry weather. Planting is expected to be completed in
the Breaux Bridge area by January 10.
Planting in California got underway in November but rains during the last half of the month delayed field operations in the major producing districts. Planting is expected to continue at a normal rate during December.

GEORGIA COTTON REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 1, 1965

December 8, 1965

Cotton production in Georgia in 1965 amounted to 560,000 (500 pounds gross weight)~bales, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 57,000 bales below the 1964 produc-
tion of 617,000 bales and 106,000 below the 1959-1963 average production. The indicated lint yield per acre of 464 pounds has been exceeded only by the record of 467 pounds last year. The acreage harvested this year is 579,000 compared with 632,000 in 1964.

Production in the 3 northern districts is 4 percent below last year. The central area will harvest 6 percent less than in 1964 and the crop in the southern districts is off 15 percent.

Unfavorable weather during the early spring months delayed planting operations and the crop got off to a later start than usual. Irregular stands were secured in many areas. Frequent rains during June and July made it difficult for growers to carry out an effective insect control program. The excessive moisture caused large vegetative growth in many areas, and it was necessary for more growers than usual to use airplanes for poisoning operations. Conditions were very favorable during the harvesting season, and the crop was saved in good condition.

The Bureau of Census reports 548,000 running bales ginned to December 1 compared with 594,000 to the same date last year and 600,000 to December 1, 1963.

GEORGIA ANNUAL CROP REPORT -- 1965

December 21, 1965

VALUE OF GEORGIA CROPS UP: The value of the principal crops produced in Georgia during 1965 is ,----- -- ------- ----- -- estimated at $451,619,000 - five percent above the 1964 value of
$432,032,000. The increase is due primarily to a much larger production of corn and peanuts and higher prices for tobacco. Peanuts are Georgia's most valuable crop with a value of
$101,865,000, followed by corn with $99,421,000; cotton lint and seed account for $90,035,000; and tobacco came in fourth with a value of $19,204,000. These four crops accounted for 81.9 percent of the total value of all crops.

RECO~ YIELDS ~~~: The 1965 corn yield per acre of 51 bushels is 8 bushels above the previous record of 43 bushels in 1963. Peanut yield of 1,850 pounds
exceeds the previous high by 110 pounds. Tobacco yield of 2,010 pounds is 51 pounds above the 1963 record yield of 2,013 pounds. The cotton yield of 464 pounds of lint has been exceeded only
by 1964.

The 1965 peanut production of 893,550,000 pounds is a record high, exceeding the previous high by 13,000,000 pounds. Corn production for grain of 80,835,000 bushels exceeds the record 1963 crop by 6 million bushels. Soybea~ production of 3,444,000 bushels is a new high by 1,044,000 bushels.

Pecan crop of 66,000,000 pounds compares with the light 1964 crop of 15,000,000 pounds, but is only 58 percent of the record 1963 production of 114,000,000 pounds. Peach production was more than double the 1964 crop, but the value was reduced by unfavorable weather during the marketing season.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended December 18 was 8,602,000 - - 2 percent more than in the previous week and 16 percent more
than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 11,697,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries -- 1 percent more than in the previous week and 18 percent more than in the com-
parable week a year earlier.

GEORGIA ANNUAL COMMERCIAL VEGETABLE SUMMARY 1965 and 1964

The value of Georgia's 11 commercial fresh market and 3 processing vegetable crops amounteG to $18,628,000 - 2 percent above the 1964 value of $18,34H,OOO. Vegetables contributing to the increased value from last year were snap beans, cabbage, and tomatoes. The 1965 production of fresh market and melon crops was 5,728 hundi"edweight compared with 5,630 hundredweight in 1964. Unfavorable weather during peak harvest reduced yield prospects of some major vegetable crops. In 1965, Georgia ranked first in production of fresh market 1ima beans and third in production of watermelons.

LESPEDEZA SEED PRODUCTION IN GEORGIA DOWN 32 PERCENT UP 27 PERCENT FOR UNITED STATES

The 1$65 Georgia lespedeza seed production Is forecast at 3,450,000 pounds, according to
the Georgia Crop ReportIng Service. This Is 32 percent below the 5,040,000 pounds harvested
in 1964. The yield per acre of 230 pounds Is 10 pounds less than last season, but exceeds the 5-year (1959-63) average yield by 24 pounds. Th~ 15,000 acres harvested for seed this season is 6,000 below the 21,000 acres har'vested in 1964.

Dry weather during the late summer and early fall reduced yields and some intended acreage was not harvested. The harvesting season was generally favorable.

UNITED JSTATES LESPEDEZA SEED PRODUCTION
Lespedeza seed production is estImated 70,805,000 pounds, 27 percent more than last year's (revised) total of 55,620,000 pounds, but 11 percent below average. The increase from 1964 resulted from an Increase in both acres harvested and yield.
Eleven of the fifteen producing States harvested as many as or more acres than in 1964, and all but three States had the same or hIgher yields. Growing conditions were much better in most areas In 1965 than in 1964. Weather conditions during harvest were very good in most States.
Korean lespedeza accounted for 61 percent of 1965 production compared with 52 percent in 1964. Striat~ Kobe was 29 percent of total production in 1965. against 34 percent in 1964. Comparative production of each species, with estimates for last year in parentheses are: Korean, 43,113,000 pounds (29,202,000); Striate Kobe, 20,698,000 (18,896,000); Striate Common and Tennessee "76", 826,000 (371,000); Sericea, 6,051,000 (7,049,000); and other varieties, 117,000 (102,000) pounds.
The largest producing State in 1965 was Missouri with 11,700,000 pounds. Kentucky was the second ranking State with 10,560,000 pounds, followed by Indiana, Tennessee, and Arkansas. Harvest of lespedeza seed began generally later than last year In most States, with harvesting dates rangIng from about a week earlier in Maryland to about a week later In Kentucky.
Carryover of lespedeza seed as of June 30, 1965 from 1964 and previous years' crops is estimated at 4,376,000 pounds (2,193,000 held by growers and 2,183,000 by dealers). Holdings a year earlier were 5,062,000 pounds (1,900,000 by growers and 3,162,000 by dealers). Initial supply of lespedeza seed (1965 productIon plus June 30, 1965 carryover) Is indicated at 75,181,000 pounds, 24 percent more than the begInning supply of 60,682,000 pounds a year earl ier.
