GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended January 1
was 8,323,000- -the same as in the previous week but 12 percent more than in the
comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 11,421,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-2 percent less than in the previous week but 18 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 ro 70 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 65 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 $9.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66 cents for eggs and $10.00 for chicks.

January 10, 1966
Late spring onion acreage in Georgia is estimated at 250 acres. This is 20 percent below the 300 acres harvested last year. Shortage of plants has delayed setting to the fields and is the contributing factor in a reduced acreage from a year ago. However, field conditions are good and some late acreage may be set if plants are available.
llN.11Jj;Jl STAlJj;.:
Cabbage: The winter cabbage crop is forecast at 5,908,000 hundredweight, 7 percent be-
------- low the-Y965 crop. Volume from Florida increased steadily through December
as harvest increased in the important Hastings, Sanford-Oviedo and Everglades areas. Lighter supplies were available from the Plant City, Balm, Sarasota, and Lake Placid areas and from Dade County. Harvest is expected to begin in Martin County in mid-January. Volume from the State is expected to be moderately heavy in January and will continue about steady until March or April when peak production is normally reached. In the Rio Grande Valley of Texas, weather conditions were generally unfavorable, particularly for early plantings where some acreage was lost and yields are turning out below earlier expectations. Later planted cabbage made good growth, however, and good yields are expected. In other areas of south Texas, harvest was slowed by wet fields. Cooler weather is needed for proper development of later plantings. Movement is expected to increase from all areas of south Texas in January. In Arizona, weather during December hampered harvest activities. Harvest is underway. In california, movement has been steady from most producing districts, with harvest slowed at times by wet weather. Volume should increase in January as desert areas come into heavier production.
Q~ion~: The early spri~ onion acreage in Texas for harvest in 1966 is estimated at 21,300 acres, compared to 23,100 acres in 1965 and the 1960-64 average of
22,800 acres. The acreage for harvest is 8 percent below the intentions reported in October.
Acreage in the Coastal Bend area is above last year while the Winter Garden area is unchanged and the lower Rio Grande Valley and Laredo areas are below a year ago.
Growers of late spring onions intend to have 6,450 acres for harvest in 1966. If these intentions are realized, the acreage would be 3 percent more than the 1965 acreage. In Georgia, growers are setting transplants later than normal because of a shortage of plants. Most onion fields in Arizona are in good condition. Planting is running behind a year ago due to rains late in November and throughout December. In California, moderate increases over last year are indicated in both San Joaquin and Imperial Counties. Planting continues in all areas. In the northern San Joaquin Valley, plantings were interrupted by rain during the latter part of December but should resume as fields dry out.
Tomatoes: Production of winter tomatoes in Florida is forecast at 3,549,000 hwndred-
--
weight, 13 percent above 1965 and 22 percent above average. Warm days and
cool nights during most of December were favorable for plant growth and fruit set~ of mature greens in Dade County and vine ripes in the Immokalee and Pompano ar~tL~u'nder~~/i
way. Volume from the vine ripe greens is expected to increase steadily until
when a peak level should occur. Supplies of mature greens from Dade County s
during January and continue in good volume through February and March.
Please turn page
Watermelons: Growers of late spring watermelons in Florida and California intend to ----------- plant 75,300-a~res-rorharvest in 1966. In 1965, the acreage harvested was 78,200 acres. In Florida, light planting of the crop began in the Immokalee area in November and was active in the Indiantown and other southern points in December. Planting is expected to continue in the southern areas of the State into January. Soil preparation is active in central areas and growers in other areas are preparing land as weather permits. In California, planting is underway in the Imperial Valley and in the Blythe area and is expected to continue into March.

UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION
Milk production in the United States during December is estimated at 9,592 mill ion pouncis, 4 percent less than in December 1964 when out~ut was a record high for the month. The North Central States accounted for most of the Jecrease from December 1964. Production this December was the smallest for the month since 1960. Average daily milk production
advanced about 2 percent from November to December, compared with a seasonal increase of 3 percent a year earl ier. Per capita milk production amounted to 1.58 pounds daily, 5 percent
below December a year ago.
For the year 1965, prel iminary estimates of monthly milk production totaled 125,463 million pounds, about 1 percent less than the record-high annual output of 1964. Production
was below a year earl ier for all months except January, March, April and July. Beginning in August, the decreases were progressively larger.
Milk flow per cow during December continued the lower output which began in late summer. Output, at 625 pounds per cow, compared with 623 pounds in December 1964 and 564 pounds, the December 1959-63 average. Although output per cow was at a record December level in 37 States, many important-producing States were below a year earl ier. On an average daily basis, December production per cow was 20.2 pounds, compared with 19.8 pounds in November and
lb.2 pounds, the average for December.
The prel iminary es~imates of monthly milk production are subject to an annual review in late January.

Cattle ~ Feed Below Number Last Year
GEORGIA CROP REPOKT.NG SERVICE
There were 78,000 cattle and calves on grain feed for slaughter market in Georgia on January I, 1966. This was 93 percent of the number on feed January I last year, but 62 percent above the 4b,000 head on October I, 1965.
The number of grain-fed cattle sold for slaughter during the October-through-December quarter totaled 22,000. This compared with 20,000 during the same period last year and 24,000 during the July-September 1965 quarter. There were 52,000 cattle and calves placed on feed October through December. This was 14,000 head above placements during the previous quarter and 1,000 below placements during the same period of 1964.
feeders in Georgia indicate they will market 43,000 head during January, February, The remaining 35,000 head on feed January I will be marketed after March 31.
Of the 78,000 cattle and calves on feed January I, 62,000 were steers, 15,000 were heifers, and 1,000 were cows and others. A total of 50,000 head had been on feed less than 3 months, 26,000 had been on feed 3-6 months, and the remaining 2,000 had been on feed more than 6 months.
Cattle ~ Feed Up 2 Percent
On January I, 1966 there were 9,963,000 head of cattle and calves on feed for slaughter ~arket, in 32 major feeding States -- 5 percent more than a year earlier.
Fourth Quarter Placements and Marketings Both ~
In the 32 major feeding Stat~s the number of cattle and calves placed on feed during the October-December quarter of 1965 was 6,855,000 h~aci, 4 percent greater than for the same period in 1964. Placements were I percent larger In the North Central States and 8 percent greater in
the '~stern region. Recorded shipments of stocker and feeder cattle Into the 8 Corn Belt States
during October and November were up 2 percent from the same period of 1964.
Marketings of grain fed cattle for slaughter from the 32 States during the October-December quarter totaled 4,409,000 head, 6 percent more than a year earl ier. North Central region marketings were unchanged from last year, while marketings in the Western region were up 14 percent.
Marketing Intentions
Cattle feeders in the 32 major States intend to market 4,514,000 head during the January-
March period. This would be 4 percent more than actual marketings for the same period a year earlier. Intentions in the Western States point to a 5 percent increase in January-March
marketings. Feeders in the North Central States plan 4 percent more marketings. A breakdown of anticipated marketings of the January I number on feed shows 33 percent to be marketed during January, 34 percent in February, and 33 percent In March. Expected marketings, as publ ished, are based on the usual relationship between survey data and actual marketings.

GEORGIA HONEY PRODUCTION UP
Honey production in Georgia during 1965 totaled 7,600,000 pounds, exceeding the 1964 production by 52 percent. The 200,000 colonies on hand at the beginning of the 1965 season were unchanged from 1964. Yield per colony at 38 pounds, was one pound above the 1963 record . Better care of bees and the good spring and summer nectar flow were mainly responsible for the record yield in 1965.
Prices received by producers for honey sold during 1965 averaged 20.7 cents per pound, compared with the average price of 20.6 cents in 1964.
Beeswax production totaled 152,000 pounds and was valued at $68,000.
UNITED STATES HONEY PROCUCT/ON SLIGHTLY LOWER IN 1965
Honey production during 1965 totaled 278,243,000 pounds, 2 percent below 1964 and the smallest output since 1962. Production per colony averaged 50.0 pounds compared with 50.9 . pounds in 1964, but was still the third highest yield in the past decade. The 1965 honey crop was produced by 5,562,000 colonies, 1 percent below the 5,601,000 colonies in 1964. Beeswax production of 5,377,000 pounds for the 1965 season was slightly larger than the 1964 crop of 5,)29,000 pounds.
Producers reported 68 mill ion pounds of hone~ on hand for sale in mid-December compared
with 7~ mil! ion pounds a ye~r earl ier And the 1959-63 Average of 64 mill ion pounds. Stocks in
mid-December represented 24 percent of the 1965 crop compared with 26 percent in 1964.
.
The 1965 season was not uniformly favorable throughout the Nation. Production was sharply curtailed in the North Atlantic States and the East North Central States where drought orevailed throughout the late summer months, and poor blooming of nectar plants reduced yields. To a lesser degree droughty conditions reduced yields in the South Atlantic States except Georgia and South Carol ina. In contrast to these conditions, the !;/estern States and the South Central States had a favorable honey flow with production well above last year.
Production of honey was lower than last year in 26 States and higher in 23 States. In the 10 top honey producing States, only California, Texas and 111 inols had higher production
1965 than in 1964.
Prices received by producers for honey sold during 1965 averaged 17.8 cents per pound, compared with the 1964 average price of 18.5 cents. These prices relate to all wholesale and retail sales of extracted, chunk, and comb honey from both large and small apiaries owned by farmers and non-farmers.
E;<tracted honey in wholesale lots averaged 14.4 cents per pound, compared with 15.0 cents
a year earl ier. Extracted honey sold at wholesale in 60 pound or larger containers averaged 13.3 cents per pound in 1965, compared with 13.8 cents in 1964. Wholesale chunk and comb honey ~veraged 29.2 and 34.9 cents per pound, respectively, in 1965, compared with 30.1 and 5.0 cents in 1964.
Prices for retail sales of extracted honey averaged 28.0 cents per pound in 1965, compared with 28.2 cents in 1964. Retail comb honey decl ined from 40.3 cents in 1964 to 38.7 cents in 1965. Retail chunk averaged 38.1 cents in 1965 compared with 38.2 cents in 1964. Beeswax averaged 45.0 cents per pound in 1965 and 44.4 cents in 1964.

Georgia Growers ~ntend 12 Raise 12 ~ercent More Turkeys ~ 1966
,
Turkey growers in Georgia expect to produce 1,688,000 head in 1966 or an increase of : percent, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Present plans of growers are to prociuce 1,585,000 heavy breeds and 103,000 1ight breed
FEB - 3 '66
Tut-key growers intend to produc~ 7 percent mor"'e tarkeys iA lfJ66 than last year. resent plans of growers are to increase heavy breeds 6 percent with heavy whites up 15 percent d other heavy breeds down 2 percent. For 1 ight ~reeds an increase of 12 percent is plann~d~ suming growers carry out their intentions, the 1966 turkey crop for the Nation would be, about 12.1 mill ion compared with the revised estimate of 104.7 mill ion turkeys raised in 1965.\' A . rop this size would exceed the previous record crop in 1961 by 4 percent'. Increased production
planned in'all regions of the country. Increases planned are: South Central 14 percent, uth Atlantic and West, each 9 percent; North Atlantic, 7 percent; West North Central, 4 p~r nt; and East North Central, up 3 percent.
Growers plan to produce 98.9 mill ion heavy breed turkeys in 1966, an increase of 6 rcant from last year. Of this number 54.9 mill ion will be heavy white breeds, 15 percent re than the 47.9 mill ion raised last year. Present plans indicate that heavy white turkeys iIi account for about 56 percent of all heavies r3ised in 1966, compared with 52 percent in ~5 and 44 percent in 1964. The expected number of heavy whites to be raised in 1966 is above st year in all regions.
In 1966 growers intend to raise 43.9 mill ion bronze and other heavy breed turkeys com~' red with 45.0 mill ion in 1965. Prod~cers intend to raise 13.3 mill ion I ight breed turkeys n I~66 ~ up 12 pe rcen t from 1as t year. The expe~~ed number of 1ights,to be raised in 1966,is
ve last year in all regions.
The number of turkeys actually raised in 1966 may vary somewhat from the J~nuary 1, ~ intentions of growers. Such changes may depend on reactions to this report, price of d, supply and prices of hatching eggs and poults, and prices received for turkeys during
next few months. On January 1, 1965 growers intended to produce 4 percent more turkeys in
. . ~5 than 1964. The crop turned out to be 5 percent more than in 1964 ,
Testings of all heavy breeds July through December were up 14 percent from the corresding period in 1964. The July-December testings of 1ight breeds were down 18 percent from e same months last year. Testings of breeders indicate that hatching egg suppl ies will be quate to permit turkey growers to increase output this year.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended January 29 was 8,664,000--2 percent more than in the previous week and 17 percent more
than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service.
An estimated 12,392,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-2 percent more than in the previous week and 16 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 cock-
erels 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 66 cents for eggs and $10.00 for chicks.

The Georgia Crop Reporting Se
**************************************~*
During the night of January 30 and morning of the 31st below freezing temperatures occurred
in all agricultural areas in Florida, according to the Florida Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. Temperatures ranged from 14 at Tallahassee to just above freezing in warm locations on the Lower East Coast. Frost was quite general. Freezing was reached before midnight in citrus groves in most areas except the Indian River district. Damaging temperatures of long duration ~re the rule in the upper Interior and upper West Coast Districts. Lows ranged from about 20 to 27 in citrus areas. In the Everglades, temperatures ranged from 26 adjacent to Lake Okeechobee to 21 away from the lake. Temperatures on the ~est Coast south of Tampa were less extreme, mostly 28 or above. Freeze was less severe in the southeast coast and Dade County. Some spots in the Pompano area had a low of 29 and in Dade County 26, but this was not general. This freeze was preceeded by considerable rain. Soil moisture, accompanied by air movement, helped to alleviate the effects of the freeze.
Hastinqs~: Cabbage harvest continues active. Mature and near mature heads may show some discoloration later. Cupping stage to baseball size heads were
damased worst with some loose heads in prospect. A lot of wilt occurred but locally light showers Tuesday night helped revive plants. Younger plantings are expected to grow out. Potatoes were killed to the ground in all sections, including most sprouts in pre-emergence stage. Most seed pieces were not damaged and are beginning to put on new sprouts. A very limited amount of plants were large enough to require replanting. Damage will delay maturiy, and possibly lower yields on early plantings.
ll2r!h k North Central: Potatoes were not up and suffered no damage. Celery at Island
Grove looks fairly good with plants standing up well. All tomatoes in Marion and Sumter counties were lost and reseeding is underway. No seedbeds were in for replanting. Some acreage in the northern part of the area was not up but may be replanted anyway. Watermelons up were lost. About 30 ~ercent of the peppers in seedbeds in the Webster area were lost. Most lettuce In Webster had been harvested. l{em3ining iceberge is damaged.
Sanford-Ovledo-Zellwood: Growers are actively harvesting cabbage with heads in mostly good condition. A lot of wilt is in middle age heads and dis-
coloration of outer leaves is expected to occur. Young plants are expected to grow out with a minimum of damage. Transplanting continues active. Celery harvest is active but some damage is d~parent in sl ipping skin of outer stalks. Some ~isease may show up later. Young plants are standing up. Transplanting continues. Escarole 3nd chicory were in I imited supply. Cutting O very I imited escarole Is expected in a week but mature chicory had extensive damage and will not be salvaged for 2 or 3 weeks. Young plantings are expected to grow out. All remaining lettuce acreage was d6maged e){tensively except a small acreage of romaine near the river now harvesting. Other mature romaine. will be salvaged. Some younger romaine, Boston and iceberg may come out. Some mature iceberg will be salvaged for local market. The radish crop was severely damaged. There will be 1imited suppl ies until the new crop comes in. Spinach for processing and fresh market is being harvested. Some loss of production and a 1imited loss of acreage indicated.
~fest Coast: Cabbage in the Balm and Sarasota areas was only sl ightly affected by the freeze, with leaf damage the only visible sign. Celery in the Sarasota area
also only sl ightly affected. 51 ipping will be a problem with plants being harvested and pithing may affect the less mature crop. Small acreages of early spring cucumbers, squash and pepper already planted in the area were seriously damaged, and will probably need replanting to obtain reasonable stands and yields. Potato plants in the Balm area were burned to the ground but will grow out. Tomato fields In Manatee, Hardee and DeSoto counties were the hardest hit in the area, with complete losses in most cases. Growers fired seedbeds and were able to save enough plants to replant most lost acreage. Tomato fields in Hillsborough County suffered lighter damage, and growers have enough plants in protected seedbeds to reset acreage. Production from the strawberry acreage in Hillsborough and Manatee counties will be curtailed mostly because of bloom drop. Some berries were burned but few plants were damaged. All watermelon acreage planted before the freeze was heavily damaged and will either be reseeded or abandoned.
Ft. Myers-Iwrookalee: Cabbage acreage and the small early cantaloup acreage suffered 1ittle to no damage from tne freeze. Practically all of the Ft.
Hyers' sweet corn was killed and the LaBelle acreage was seriously damaged. Almost all ~ucumber acreage planted and up was either completely destroyed or suffered serious damage. Harvest of eggplants was practically complete and the remaining acreage was destroyed. Peppers in production suffered serious frost damage to top fol iage and mature fruit. Plant loss was heavi in all fields in mature and blooming stages. Most younger acreage is in good shape with only light leaf burn. Foliage and fruit above the stukes on the vine-ripe tomato acreage were
seriously burned, but foliage and fruit below the stakes received 1ittle damage. Younger plants came through with light to moderate leaf burn. Some reseeding will be necessary for young ~creage already thinned. Mature green ground tomatoes received moderate to heavy damage. A majority of the acreage will be spot re-set to bring stands up to normal. Almost all watermelon ucreage setting fruit was seriously damaged. In some fields, plants were almost completely destroyed, and this acreage will need replanting.
EverQlades: Cabbage burn was negl iglble. Some heads were frozen but decay is expected to be minor. It will be necessary to strip some of the wrapper leaves when
harvesting. No acreage was lost and harvest continues active. Some sl ip skin is evident In celery being harvested which makes stripping necessary. Yields have been reduced but volume should hold about steady. No acreage was lost. Practically all corn knee high and smaller, except a small acreage on the islands, was killed. Some older fields survived but all plants are badly burned. Yi~lds will be greatly reduced. Approximately 3,000 acres were lost and replanting is active. Shipments will drop sharply and suppl ies will be very light for the next two months. Escarole and chicory received moderate to minor burn in most fields. Some fields escaped damage. Practically all can be harvested. Some stripping will be necessary. No acreage was lost. Lettuce suffered more than any crop except corn. Burn varies from minor to severe. Slime Is showing in some Iceberg fields but others show 1ittle or no damage. Acreage losses will be very small but stripping will be necessary when harvesting. Selective harvest
will u0 necessary in a few of the more severely damaged fields. Harvest of winter potatoes con-
tinues progressing normally. All vines had been killed before the freeze and as a result the crop completely escaped damage. Radish tops show moderate to minor burn in practically all fields which may result In reduced yields and some pith.
Pompano: Snap bean acreage loss was mostly 1imited to the Plantation area where all but the youngest plants were lost. In the rest of the area, damage ranged from very
I ight to severe. Tops were killed in many fields but ~ean pods were not frozen. Plants in the bloom ~nd pin stage appear to be hurt worst. Yields will be reduced where plants were out of the ground except those ready for harvest at the time of the freeze. An estimated 1,100-1,200 acres of sweet corn were lost. All surviving plants received minor to severe burn. Harvest will continue but volume from the area will be reduced and 1ight. Eggplants appear damaged badly. Tops and outside leaves were killed on most bushes. Most bloom and young eggs will probably drop but eggs on plants were not frozen and where near maturity will continue to size. Virtually all cucumbers In the area were killed. Some fruit on vines will be lost due to burn. Light harvest will resume after the extent of damage has been determined. Damage to peppers ranged from tops killed half way down the plants in isolated fields to virtually no visable damage in others. Generally, oldest plants were hurt worst and damage was limited to top leaves and blooms. Little or no damage was done to fruit. All of the Martin Count~' acreage was killed. The potato acreage in Martin County received leaf burn and while yields will be lowered no acreage was lost. Most of the squash was destroyed and large leaves were killed on the remaining acreage. Strawberries received virtually no damage from the freeze but the cooler temperatures slowed ripening. No vine-ripe tomato acreage was lost but frost killed the tops of most vines. Damage appears worst near wind-breaks where frost settled. Some fruit was frozen but most loss in production will be due to bloom drop. All mature green tomatoes In the Ft. Pierce area not covered were lost. Most growers will have plants that were covered or in seedbeds to use for re-setting.
Dade County: Older bush bean plants were burned worse than younger plantings resulting In bloom and pin bean droppage. Some pole beans were damaged severely but
others not hurt. Little or no acreage was killed. Yields will be reduced. Sweet corn above knee high was burned severely and some lost. Younger acreage was damaged less but yields will be reduced. Planting continues. Cucumbers were badly frost burned but some will continue In production with reduced yields. Most of the young squash in this area will come out, but anything that had been picked is questionable. Most large leaves were killed but buds are still al ive. Some older mature green tomato acreage was killed where vines had been opened. Tops of practically all plants were burned and bloom and small tomatoes will drop. Damage appears worst in the Park area. Some fruit may have been frozen but most production loss will be from bloom drop.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended February 5 was 8,897,000 - - 3 percent more than in the previous week and 15 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 12,432,000 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 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 G~.,or~.a hatcheries were reported within a range of $9.00 to $11. 00 with a~avera',f, 10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66
cents for e g"

Cattle and calves on Georgia farms January 1, 1966 totaled 1,554,000 head -- 3 percent below the 1,602,000 head on farms a year earl ier, according to the Crop Reporting Service. The n~ber of beef-type brood cows was the same as the previous year, at 634,000, but the inventory ~ all other classes of cattle was below the January 1, 1965 level. Cows and heifers 2 years old and older kept for milk dec1 ined 6 percent to 185,000 head. Heifers 1-2 years old being kept for milk totaled 46,000 head or 8 percent below the previous year. Beef type heifers 1-2 ~c1ine~ 4 percent to 156,000. The Inventory value of all cattle January 1 was placed at $155,9S4,000 -- 18 percent above a year earlier.
~~umbers Lowest Since 1926
Georgia's January I hog inventory was placed at 1,277,000 head -- down 1 percent from the 1,2~O,OOO head a year earl ier. However, this dec1 ine compares with a 15 percent decrease regisured on January 1, 1965. The January 1, 1966 estimate of hogs on farms is the lowest since 1,27G,OOO was recorded In 1926. The smallest Inventory of hogs since estimates began in 1867 ~s on January 1, 1870 when 1,200,000 were estimated. The total value of all hogs on farms
Januar'/ I, 1966 amounted to $43,929,000 compared with .,27 ,;)[)(',OOO th2 !Jrevicl's y~ar.
The, inventory of chickens (excluding commercial broilers) continued to increase and, on ~nuary 1, 1966, a new record number of 24,717,000 head was on hand. This compared with 23,2~/OOO chickens on Georgia farms a year earl ier. The value of chickens on hand at the ~ginning of this year was placed at $29,660,000 compared with $26,792,000 for January 1, 1965.

UNITED STATES
On January 1, 1966 there were 106.6 million cattle and calves on farms and ranches, a
reduction of 1 percent from a year earlier following 7 consecutive years of increase. A decrease of 6 percent in the number of milk animals more than offset a 1 percent increase in
beef cattle. The number of cows and heifers 2 years old and older kept for milk decreased
6 percent to 16.6 million head--the smallest number since 1900. The inventory of hogs and pigs on farms January 1, was 51.2 million head, a decline of 4 percent and the smallest inventory since 1955. All sheep and l~mbs totaled 26.5 million head, 1 percent below a year earlier. The number of chickens on farms declined 1 percent to 371.4 million head for January 1, 1966, while the number of turkeys increased 9 percent to nearly 7.0 million head.
The total value of all livestock and poultry on farms and ranches January 1, 1966 was $17.5 billion, up 22 percent from a year earlier. The aggregate value of meat animals (cattle, hogs and sheep) was $17.0 billion, 22 percent above a year earlier. The January 1, 1966 value of all cattle and calves was $14.2 billion, up 16 percent from a year earlier. The value of hogs and pigs increased 76 percent to $2.3 billion, the highest since 1948. The value of all sheep, ~~523.9 million, was up 24 percent. The chicken inventory was valued at $459.0 million, up 5 percent, and the value of turkeys, at ~p36.8 million, was up 31 percent.

GEORGlf\IS LAMB CROP DO'::~I 1,000 HEAD
Georgia's 1965 lamb crop is estimated at 5,000 head--l ,000 below the previous year and s~arply below the 1959-63 average of 13,000 lambs.
The number of breeding ewes I year and older on farms January 1, 1965, at 7,000 ~a~, compared with the previous year1s total of U,OOO and the S-year average of 16,000.
U\MB CROP DOt!N 1 PERCENT ..!..N YiHTcD STATES
The 1965 lamb crop totaled 17,557,000 head, a 2 percent decline from the 1964 crop of 17,:;0),000 head. The 13 '.!estern sheep States (11 .:est, South Dakota, and Texas) produce~ 1 percent fewer lambs than in 1964 and 12 percent less than average. The lamb cro:) in the 35 Native sheep States (excludes the 13 \-1estern States and i\lasl<a) was J} percent smaller than in 1964 and 20 percent below average. In Texas, which annually produces approximately 15 percent of the Nation1s lambs, the lamb crop was 9 percent greater thaI. 1564, but & percent below average.
Lamb i nq Pe rcen ta ge Down
The lamb crop percentage (number of lambs saved per 100 ewes 1 year of age or older on farms and ranches January 1) for 1965 was 94, up 2 points from the 1964 percentage. The Vestern States lambing percentage, at 90, was up 4 points from the 1964 percentage,

11 ~/estern States
The 13 Yestern States produced a lamb crop of 11,924,000 head, I percent below 1964 and 12 percent smaller than average.

above 1964 and 9 percent above the 5-year (1959-63) average of 610,000 head, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
The number of cows and heifers 2 years old and older on farms at the beginning of the

UN ITED STATES:
Calf Crop Up Sl ightly
The 1965 calf crop for the United States was L~3,140,000 head compared with 43,103,000 for l;:;u4. This small Increase made the seventh consecutive year In which the number of calves born was larger thah the preceding year.
The Increase In the calf crop in 1965 was the result of more cows and heifers on farms early in the year than in 1~64. There were 50,376,000 cows and heIfers 2 years old and older on January 1, 1965 compared with 49,899,000 on farms January I, 1964. However, by January 1,
1966 the number had declined to 49,243,000 head.
The number of calves born In 1965 expressed as a percentage of cows and heifers 2 years old ana older on hand at the beginning of the year was b6 percent, the same as a year earlIer. This percentage Is not strictly a calving rate because the January I Inventory of cows and heifers 2 years old and older does not Include all heifers that calve durIng the year and Includes some cows that died or were slaughtered before calving.
~ Central States
In the North Central States, &States had smaller calf crops than a year earlIer, one
had the same number and 3 had more calves born. Michigan had the greatest percentage reduction, 5 percent. Indiana, South Dakota, and Nebraska each had a 1 percent increase.
Southern States
Of the 8 South Atlantic States, 4 had smaller calf crops and 4 had larger. In the
South Central area, 4 States had larger calf cr0ps than a year earlier, one showed no change and 3 had small reductions. The greatest Increase -- 5 percent -- occurred In Oklahoma. Texas, the largest cattle State In the Nation, had a I percent Increase.
Western States
In the Western States, 8 States had larger calf crops than In 1964, while 3 States had s~ller crops. Montana, wIth 6 percent more calves than a year earlIer, had the greatest percentage Increase followed by \'!yoming and Utah with 5 percent increases. New Mexico was down 12 pe rcent.
~ Atlantic States
The 1965 calf crop was smaller In all North Atlantic States, except Connecticut.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended February 26 was 8,916,000--1 percent less than in the previous week but 6 percent more than
in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Beporting Service.
An estimated 12,616,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-3 percent more than in the previous week and 12 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 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 67 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 $11. 00 with an average of $10.25 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66 cents for eggs and $10.00 for chicks.

VEGETABLES FOR FRESH MARKET March 1, 1966
GEORGIA
Watermelon Intentions: Based on growers I intentio~s, 40, 000 acres of early summer watermelons will be harvested in Georgia this year.
Latenes s in land preparation could have some effect on the final acreage planted. Little or no acreage had been seeded prior to March 1.
Early Spring Cabbage: Cold temperatures and excessive rains have been very unfavorable for growth and development of spring cabbage. In some
fields abandonment may be above normal. Harvest is expected to be about one week later than normal.
UNIT i:D STATES
Snap Beans: ~-'loridaI s winter snap bean crop, at 547, 000 hundredweight is 5 percent below last year and 9 percent below average. The late January freeze
damaged bush beans at Pompano and bush and pole beans in Dade County. Some acreage was lost. Supplies in February dropped sharply. Heavy rains interrupted harvest in Pompano the last week of February. Volume from both areas should increase during March.
Cabbage: Production of winter cabbage is forecast at 5,952, 000 hundredweight, 6
percent below the 1965 crop. In Florida, volume decreased sharply in mid-
february because of the effects of the late January freeze but increased to near pre-freeze
levels late in the month. Peak movement is usually reached in March or April. Harvesting
in south Texas reached a peak by the end of February and is expected to taper off sharply
duriag March. Supplies in the Rio Grande Valley are below a year ago while the San Antonio-
Winter Garden area cut a near normal crop. Supplies from Arizona continued in light volume
from the Salt River Valley and the Yuma area during February. Light supplies are expected
to be available until early June. Weather has been generally favorable for growth and devel-
opment. In California, harvest was moderately act~ve during February in the Imperial Valley
where volume supplies are originating. Additional supplies are also available from Ventura
and other south coastal districts. Although supplies will decline in the Imperial Valley
during March, an active movement is expected. Supplies should increase from the southern
coastal districts during March.
'
The early spring cabbage acreage for harvest is estimated at 11, 750 acres compared with 12, 050 acres harvested in 1965. Replanting in South Carolina was a -little more extensive than normal. Some outer leaves were burned during the late January freeze but plants are growing out nicely. Weathe'r in Georgia during the past two months has been unfavorable for growth and development. Harvest is expected to be about one week later than normal. In Alabama, the hard freeze of late January did considerable damage to cabbage in southern counties. Regrowth has started with warm weather, but damage is so extensive in some fields that abandonment may be above normal. In Mis sis sippi, some plants were killed by the below freeZing temperatures in late January and had to be reset. Cold temperatures have also retarded growth and plants are in fair condition. The Louisiana crop is generally in only fair condition as January and February weather was unfavorable for Irowth and development. Stands in many fields have been thinned by hard freezes and heavy rains. Some early cabbage has been moving to local markets but harvest in the important Breaux Bridge area is not expected to get underway until about April 1. In California, harvest in coastal producing districts is expected to begin in April.
Watermelons: Based on grower's intentions, 203,500 acres of early ~ummer watermelons are estimated for harvest in 1966. This compares with
07,500 acres in 1965 and 207,260 acres, the 1960-64 average. Smaller acreages than last year are estimated for North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Arizona. The acreage in Texas and California is expected to be bove last year while the Mississippi acreage is unchanged. Land preparation has been delayed in Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana because of cold, wet weather. Land is being pre-
red in South Carolina. Planting is expected to start about March 10. Land preparation is ,early complete in central and east Texas and planting will soon be underway. Planting in rizona is nearing completion with early plantings up. In California, growers in the south 'central areas are beginning to plant. Early planting in the southern San Joaquin Valley should
underway by mid-March. Plantings in the Northern San Joaquin Valley should begin by midpril.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended March 12 was 8,875,000 -- 1 percent more than in the previous week and 6 percent more than in
the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 13,467,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-4 percent more than in the previous week and 15 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 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 67 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 $11. 00 with an average of $10.25 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66 cents for eggs and $10.00 for chicks.

PROSPECTIVE PLANTINGS -- 1966
Georqia
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, barley, cotton, potatoes, sweetpotatoes, sorghum and peanuts. Increases are expected in oats, tobacco and soybeans. The acreage of hay is expected to be the same as 1965.
The purpose of this report is to assist growers generally in making suchl changes in their acreage plans as may appear desirable. The acreages I
actually planted in 1966 may turn out to be larser or smaller than in- I
dicated, by reason of weather conditions, price changes, labor supply, I
financial conditions, agricultural programs, and the effect of this report itself upon farmers' actions.

11 Acreage harvested. 1/ Grown alone for all purposes.
Corn Acreaqe Down 1 Percent: Georgia farmers have indicated they intend to plant l,u56,OOO
acres of corn for all purposes this year. If these intentions
are followed, the 1966 acreage will be 1 percent below last year and 17 percent below the
1960-64 average of 2,223,000 acres.
Cotton ~creaqe Down 22 Percent: The 1966 cotton acreage in Georgia is indicated at 460,000 acres, 133,000 below the 593,000 last year and 220,000 acres
below the 1960-64 average of 680,000 acres. The sharp drop in acreage is the result of Georgia farmers participating in the 35 percent diversion plan. If these intentions are followed, the acreage this year will be the lowest of record except in 1958, when 388,000 acres were planted.
Tobacco Up 12 Percent: A total acreage of 62,900 is expected to be harvested in the State in 1966. This compares with 56,200 acres harvested last year and a 1960-
64 average of 70,960 acres.
Peanuts Down: Peanuts planted alone this year are expected to total 518,000 acres, 1 percent below last year but 4,000 above the 1960-64 average.
Oats Up 7 Percent: The acreage seeded to oats for the 1966 crop is reported to be 18,000 more than 1965 but 74,000 below the 1960-64 average.
Sorghum Acreaqe Down 9 Percent: A total of 42,000 acres is expected to be planted this year. This compares with 46,000 acres last year and the 1960-64
average of 49,000 acres.
Soybeans Up 13 Percent: Growers indicated they would plant 211,000 acres of soybeans alone for all purposes in 1966. This would be 24,000 acres more than last year
and 91,000 acres more than the 1960-64 average.

UNITED STATES PROSPECTIVE PLANTINGS FOR 1966
Planting intentions for the 17 crops included in the March 1 survey total 257 mill ion acres for 1966 -- about the same as planted last year.
If growers carry out their plans for the 17 crops, and an allowance is made for other crops not surveyed in March, the indicated acreage to be planted to all crops in 1966 is 305 mill ion acres -- 2 mill ion less than last year and the second smallest planted acreage since records began in 1929. The record low is 301 mill ion acres planted in 1962.

Feed Grain Acreage 2 Percent Larger: If grower plans as of March 1 are real ized, the acreage planted to feed grains In 1966 will total 121.5 mill ion
acres -- 2 percent more than last year but 7 percent below the 1960-64 average. Corn acreage is expected to Increase in all regions except the South Central. A 10 percent increase is indicated In barley acreage but the expected acreage is 19 percent below average. Much of the increase is expected in the North Central areas growing malting barley. Oats acreage is expected to be I percent smaller, continuing a downtrend. Growers plan to seed 2 percent less sorghum acreage, but acreage In the major producing States of Texas and Kansas Is expected to be the same as last year.
Cotton: Cotton growers plan to divert more acreage under the 1966 program and the expected acreage to be planted is the smallest In about 90 years. The intended 1966 acreage
is 23 percent less than last year and 31 percent below the 1960-64 average. The sharp decl ine in cotton acreage dominated the change in oilseed crops. Expected acreage for the four oil seeds of 52.4 mill Ion acres Is 3 percent smaller than last year.
Soybean: Soybean acreage is expected to reach a new high for the sixth consecutive year. The largest percentage expansion is expected in the South Central Region. The im-
portant North Central Region shows increases in all producing States except Illinois, Indiana and South Dakota. Peanut growers intend to plant slightly less acreage than In 1965. Flaxseed acreage is expected to about equal 1965.
Tobacco: Tobacco growers expected to plant sl ightly more acreage than the low 1965 total. Increases from last year are Indicated for flue-cured and Maryland tobaccos but all
other major classes are expected to decl ine. The major changes are a decline in burley acreage because of reduced allotments and an Increase in plantings of flue-cured.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended March 19 was 9,025,000 - - 2 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 13, 315, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries -1percent less than in the previous week but 12 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 75 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 $11. 00 with an average of $10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66 cents for eggs and $10.00 for chicks.

Wool production in Georgia during 1965 totaled 55,000 pounds, 11 percent below the previous year's estimate, according to the Crop Reporting Service.
The number of sheep shorn was placed at 9,000 head, 1,000 below the 1964 total. Weight per fleece averaged 6. 1 pounds compared with 6.2 a year earlier.
The average price per pound received by producers was down $.01 at $.55. Total value amounted to $30,000 compared with $35,000 in 1964.
United State s:
Production of shorn and pulled wool in the United States during 1965 amounted to 237 million pounds, grease basis. This was 4 percent below the 1964 production of 247 million pounds.
Shorn wool production in 1965 totaled 214 million pounds, a 4 percent decline from the 1964 production of 221 million pounds. Shorn wool production in 1965 is equivalent to 102 million pounds, clean basis, compared with 106 million pounds in 1964, using a conversion factor of 47. 7 percent. A factor of 45.0 has
been used in the past.
Pulled wool production in 1965, at 23.3 million pounds, was 7 percent less than the 1964 production of 25.1 million pounds. Production of pulled wool in 1965 was equivalent to 17.0 million pounds, clean basis, using a conversion factor of 72.9 percent. The 1964 production on a similar clean basis was 18.3 million pounds. Previously, a factor of 75.0 was used to convert pulled wool to a clean basis. Commercial slaughter of sheep and lambs during 1965 was 11 percent below 1964 slaughter. The average weight of wool pulled per skin in 1965 was 3.37 pounds compared with 3.41 pounds in 1964.
The number of sheep and lambs shorn in 1965 totaled 25. 1 million head, a 5 percent decrease from the 26.3 million head shorn in 1964. The 1965 average fleece weight was 8.51 pounds compared with 8.40 pounds in 1964.
The average price received by producers in the United States for shorn wool in 1965 was 47.1 cents per pound. In 1964 the average price per pound of wool sold was 53.2 cents. Prices received in the native sheep States (which account for most of the "fleece" wool producing area of the country) averaged 49.4 cents per pound in 1965. For the 11 Western States , Texas, and South Dakota (which produce most of the "territory" wool) the 1965 season average price was 46.3 cents per pound. Total value of shorn wool produced in 1965 was $101 million, a decrease of 14 percent from the 1964 value of $118 million.

The decline of prices received for hogs more than offset increases in prices for ~lckens, eggs, and beef cattle resulting in a decl ine in the Index of Prices Received for
Livestock and Livestock Products 7 points from a month ago to 248. This Index is still 46

During the month ended March 15, the Index of Prices Received by Farmers decl ined I point (1/3 percent) to 271 percent of Its 1910-14 average. Sharply lower hog prices were Einly responsible for the decl ine. Partly offsetting were higher cattle and cotton prices. The index was 13 percent above March 1965.
The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers for Commodities and Services, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Hage Rates, increased 2 poInts (213 percent) durIng the month to 331, a new

G..c.-;ORGIA CHICK HATCHEHY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended April 2 was
9,641,000--4 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 13,742,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-I percent more than in the previous week and 14 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 60 to 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 64 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 $11. 00 with an av~rage of $10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 66 cents for eggs and $10.00 for chicks.

A.pproved by the Outlook and Situation Board, April 6, 1966 SITUATION AND OUTLOOK (BROIL:::!::B.S)
Broiler Production Continues To Expand Rapidly
Federally inspected slaughter of young chickens between DecembeJ;" 30 and March 30 ran 8 percent above a year earlier, a somewhat smaller increase than could have been estimated from previous placements of broiler chicks. Slaughter has been expanding rapidly since mid-1965. Supplies are expected to continue much larger than in 1965 for several more months. Hatchery activity in 23 States in the 13 weeks ended April 2 indicates that br'oiler marketings in the second quarter will exceed the year-earlier level by about a tenth. Prospective output would have been even greater except for the impact of severe winter weather which limited egg settings and hatchability from late January through early March.
Production is expected to continue above 1965 during the second half of the year. The broiler industry appears to be in a position to maintain or even exceed its recent rate of increase. Placements of pullet chicks by leading breeders for hatchery supply flocks in recent months indicate that the number of broiler breeders will continue about a tenth larger than a year ago through September. Broiler prices at least through midyear are likely to be high enough to sustain interest in expansion. During this period, ingredient prices used in broiler feed are expected to average below a year earlier. However, a number of factors may have tempered plans for pit'oduction expansion late in the second half. These include the prospect of a dampening of the demand for broilers late this year as a result of increasing supplies and lower prices for red meats and turkey, and a shortage of labor in processing. Most broiler firms have al:i.. ~ady committed resources for second half production and have only a little leeway for downward adjustment during this period. The current outlook calls for caution in production planning for the first half of 1967.
Rising Pork Supplies May Arrest Uptrend in Broiler Prices
U.S. broiler prices have been rising relative to a year earlier for 21 months--since June 1964. In the 12 months through March, farm prices averaged 15.5 cents per pound, 1. 1 cents above the preceding 12-month period. In March, at 17.4 cents per pound, the farm broiler price was up 1.2 cents from Pebruary and 1. 8 cents from March 1965. The average price for ready-to-cook broilers in truck10ts for delivery to New York in the week beginning .P~pri1 4 was quoted at 27.8 to 23.4 cents per pound compared with 30.7 cents a month earlier and 27.6 cents a year earlier.
The advance in broiler prices, particularly since early 1965, has stemmed mainly from decreasing supplies of competing foods--especially pork, and from a rising demand for high-protein foods. Rising consumer incomes and higher employment nave expanded the demand for food. In addition, larger exports and shipments to U. S. Territories and larger military procurement have tended to tighten supplies available for U. S. domes'i:ic civilian use.
Demand for high-protein foods is likely to rise in coming months. However, after midy.ea;r la.rge.r broiler supplies will have to face greater competition from rising supplies of pork, turkeys and eggs. If broiler production continues well above a year ago, prices to producers this fall and winter would average below a year earlier.
The December-February pig crop for 10 Corn Belt States was up 7 percent from a year earlier. Most of these pigs will be marketed i.n the third quarter. Ev~n with greate:.:' retention of gilts for breeding, July-September marketings in 10 majorproducing States likely will be up about 2 to 4 percent. Sows bred and intended for farrowing in the same States during the March-May quarter were up 9 percent from a year earlier. If the uptrend in litter size continues, as expected, marketings from this crop in the fourth quarter may be up about a tenth. Corn Belt producers also intended to increase farrowings 8 percent in June-August--source of first quarter
1967 marketings.

commodities. During this period, the United States exported-,t1;LE!1 equivalent of 10.3
million dozen e~gs, compared with 6.2 million dozen a year earlier., 'Egg shipments
to U. S. Territories also were estimated to have, increased.
, Broiler exports, mostly in the form of parts, in the S months ended February
totaled 49.3 million pounds, up from 34.7 million pounds a year earlier. Sales to
the Common Market during this period, mostly to West Germany, accounted for 30
percent of the total, slightly less than a year-earlier. Shipments of fresh and frozen
chicken to U. S. Territories during October-l!~ebruary,roseto._~6_._0 !Uillion pounqs,
7.3 million pounds above a year earlier.
., ,. - .- - - ..
The bulk of U. S. poultry exports to the Common MarJ.,<,et, essentially West Germany, are broiler and turkey parts and whole turkeys. Levies on parts exported to 'VI' est Germany are determined by multiplying the average ,of th~varia,blE! le:vy for Type II broilers and the variable levy for Type II turkeys by a cony~r:s.ion factor. E'actors are as follows: Turkey breasts, 2.00; other breasts, 1.40; turkey drumsticks, 0.75; thighs (other than turkey drumsticks)" 1. 25i wings, 0.7:5i other poultry (backs and necks), 0.50i and edible offal, 0.46. These factor,s and, the variable levies have remained the same since June 1965. Therefore, the total levies against these parts also have remained stable except for' backs and necks which also bear the same variable levy as Type II broilers. The supplemental levy against whole broilers have almost eliminated U. S. exports of this product to West Germany.
Corn Prices Expected to Average Lower Through Summer; Outlook for Soybean Meal Less Certain
,I
Higher prices for soybean meal 'since last summer have more ~han o'ffset lower corn prices. These 2 ingredients comprise tlle bulk of most, poultry feed's, particularly growing feeds for broilers and turkeys. Abo\it 3 .to 4'times as much corn as soybean meal is used. Over the ,next 6 months, the ,price of corn'is exp,ected to continue averaging below the 1965 level.
,
Prices for soybean meal, 44, percent, Decatur, have fluctuate,d;-ccinsid1erably since last October, ranging from $79 per ton in January to $71 in March. ' <For the period as a whole, prices averaged $74'per ton, compared with $68 'aye'ar ,ea!tlier. The March meal price averaged $3 higher than in March 1965. " Durin'g :April;' September, a continuing stronger foreign and domestic demand for, meal may about offset larger supplies available, as soybean processors operate at reco~.d rates.
Prices received by farmers for corn advanced more thanl sea.so~ally fr'om
a 98 cents per bushel in November to $1. 15 in February and then declined in lVlarch.
In November-March, prices averaged $1.09 per bushel, down from $1.13 year earlier. Much larger stocks of "free II corn now on hand tha~.a year earlier are expected to hold corn prices somewhat below a year earlier this' spring and summer

Planting of spring and summer vegetables continued very active in southern areas. Much ~ecled rainfall was received over most of the State in early April. Seed germination has been ~tarded by cold ground temperatures. Light harvest fronl early planted cabbaqe is expected to M~in in early April. Onions were severely damaged by cold weather in January. Planting of ~termelons and cantaloups was nearing completion in southern areas.
UNITED STATES
Snap~: Production of early spring snap beans is placed at 485,000 hundredweight, 8 percent above last year but 3 percent below average.
The acreage of mid-spring snap beans for harvest in 1966 is estimated at 13,200 acres-~change from last year and compares with the 5-year average of 13,920 acres. Planting in South Carol ina, Georgia, and Alabama began sl ightly later than normal because of the cold weather. The Mississippi crop is expected to be about one to two weeks late. In Louisiana, ~anting began later than usual this year because of excessive moisture during February. ~~freezing temperatures in late March caused some damage to young plants and slowed germination in the later planted fields. A few of the more severely damaged fields i,ave been or wi II Mreplanted. First picking is expected to be a I ittle later than usual--around May 10.
Cabbage: Winter cabbage production of 5,965,000 hundredweight, is 6 percent below last year.
Early spring cabbage production is forecast at 1,619,000 hundredweight, 5 percent below 1965. Harvest in South Carolina and Georgia is expected to start about mid-April, a little later than normal. In Alabama, 1ight harvest of cabbage was underway in southeastern counties ~~ril 1. The Mississippi crop is from one to two weeks late in development with harvest IX,l)ected to start in early May. In southern Louisiana, harvest was just getting underway in tre important Breaux Bridge area by April I. Peak movement is expected around April 20. In California, harvest was scheduled to get underway about April 1 in the central coastal istri cts.
Onions: The forecast of early spring onion ~ioduction in Texas, at 2,142,000 hundredweight, is 29 percent below the 195; crop and 27 percent less than average.
Growers of late spring onions expect to harvest 6,780 acres in 1966. This acreage comres with 6,250 acres harvested in 1965 and the 1960-64 average of 7,870 acres. In Cal i~rnia, the crop is in good condition. Light harvest is expected to begin in the Imperial Valley during the first half of April with Blythe following soon after. In the San Joaquin hIley, pull ing should begin about May 20. Volume harvest is expected by mid-June. In rizona, weather conditions have been favorable for plant development. Harvest is expected to Mgin the first week of May in the Salt River Valley and about mid-May in the Harquahala Valley. In Texas, transplanting was completed by late March after delays caused by cold, wet ather. The crop is making good growth and early planted fields are expected to furnish supplies in early June. In Georgia, cold weather and heavy rains caused considerable damage. In North Carol ina, some fields have spotty stands and crop progress ranges from fair to good.
Watermelons: The acreage of late spring watermelons for harvest in 1966 is placed at 72,800 acres. This acreage compares with 78,200 acres harvested in 1965
and the 5-year average of 73,980 acres. In Florida, early plantings were damaged by adverse Ileati,er during January and February. South Florida growers replanted most of the lost acreage In early February and some early plantings in the central areas were also replanted after the ~avy rains in late February. Planting in the north and west Florida areas has been delayed ~wet weather. First harvest is expected from the Immokalee area in mid-April, with volume supplies available in early May. In California, plantings have been completed in the Imperial hlley but were being delayed in Riverside County by adverse weather. Harvest is expected to start in the Imperial Valley near the first of June and about two weeks later in Riverside

Land preparation and spring planting were delayed by excessive soil moisture throughout he first half of March. During the last two weeks in March, a considerable amount of catching~~ farmers put them about on schedule with last year, but still later than hormal. The 1~lted planting as of April I, was the result of the continuous winds and below normal tempernUles which contributed to an undesirable soil planting temperature.
Tobacco transplanting progress was hindered by the unfavorable weather and a relatively supply of plants in some areas. The crop sel 1s considered in fair to good condition.
Corn seed is in ample SUP;)"'y and plantin8 has made some progress in south Georgia .~~ing cotton, and peanuts was just getting under way.
A good peach crop is in prospect for the Fo\'t Valley and Brooks County areas despite ~ted cold damage in the Fort Valley area durins recent weeks. Damage was much worse north
fall 1 ine where several varieties were completely killed.
The State's 1966 wheat c~op is estimated at 1,755,000 bushels, compared with last year's ~~ of 1,~27,OOO bushels.
Condition of veqetables is only fair. The cabbaqe crop is expected to be later than due to heavy rains and cold weather during the early part of the season. Planting of
is virtually complete. The cool weather has been unfavorable for seed germination.
An estimated 84 mill ion pounds of milk were produced in Georgia during March, compared itil tiS mi 11 ion pounds for the same month last year.
Eqqs produced on Georgia farms during March totaled 313 mill ion, 23 mill ion ~ore than e ~O produced last March. The increase in the number of layers on hand from 15,400,000 a r a90 to 16,~91 ,000 this March accounts for the increase in total egg production as the ~ of lay decreas~d sl ightly.
Wheat wintered with only 1ight damage and prospects for the 1966 crop are good although ins are needed in the Central and Southern Plains areas, An 8 percent inci'~ase from last r is nOw forecast for winter wheat production. Farm stored feed grains total 13 percent ~ last year. Wheat stocks on farms are 3 percent smaller than a year earl ier, but soybeans Idon farms total 53 percent more.
Because March weather was warm across most of the Nation, crop work for the 1966 season sahead of normal. March precipitation was 1 ight and soils dried rapidly. Good spring rains r!needed to maintain crop progress. Frosts in late March damaged some peach bloom in southrn ~gions reducing prospects in some local ities.
Pastures started growth earl ier than last year, but development slowed because of cool ary weather late in March. Livestock are in generally good condition although losses were Rre locally in the Northern Plains because of two Narch bl izzards. March milk production 5 percent less than last year. Egg production was down 1 percent.
The 1966 peach crop in the 9 Southern peach States is expected to be about the same as st year -- 12 percent above average. Freezing temperatures in all States during late March ;tinned the crop, but overall damage was 1 ight.

Even though North Carol ina's early' varieties were in bloom, the low temperatures of March 29 were of short duration and there was no apparent damage. South Carol ina peach trees bloomed 3 to 5 days later than usual with ~ull bloom occurring March 22 in the 11idge area, March 25 in the Sandhills, and April 1 in the Piedmont area. A general freeze on March 29 cau5ad I ittle overall damage. In Georgia,prospects are spotty, but in the important Fort Valley-Montezuma and Brooks County areas prospects are good. Bloom occurred several days late t~an usual. By March 22 early varieties around Fort Valley were in full bloom.
Alabama peaches were damaged by low temperatures in late January and by a freeze on March 25, but prospects are for a fairly good crop in Chilton County. The Mississippi crop is ex?ected to be about average. Zero temperatures on February I and a freeze on March 24 damag early varieties in northern areas. In Arkansas freezing temperatures March 24 and 25 delay~ bloom but caused 1ittle damage to peaches.
In Louisiana full bloom occurred about March 2" a week or 10 days late, although earl ier than last year. Damage from the freeze on March 24-25 was 1ight. A freeze in Oklah on March 24 only partially thinned the crop, and the Texas freeze of March 23-24 caused no serious damage In the two major areas.
March milk production in the United States is estimated at 10,645 mill ion pounds, 5 percent less than a year earl ier and 3 percent below the March 1960-64 average. Milk output has been 5 percent or more below a year earl ier for each of the last 4 months. On a daily basis, production increased 4 percent from February to March, compared with a ; percent increase for these months last year.
The Nation's laying flock produced 5,634 mill ion eqqs during March, down 1 percent f~ both March last year and the 1960-64 average (48 State comparison). The number of hens and pullets of laying age during March averaged 296.4 mill ion birds, down sl ightly from March a year ago and I percent below the February' 1966 average. Production per layer averaged 19.0 eggs during March -- a I percent decl ine from March 1965. Production per layer adjusted for number of days showed a 4 percent increase from February to March. Egg production for the first three months of 1966 totaled 15,966 mill ion eggs -- a decrease of almost 2 percent froo the corresponding 1965 quarter.
March egg production was above March 1965 by 5 percent in the South Atlantic and 3 per cent in the South Central and Western regions. The South Atlantic and the Hestern regions sd a record high production for the month. Productio~ decreased 3 percent in the North Atlantic region and 8 percent in the West fJorth Cen~ral. The East North Central region decreased 4 percent to the lowest March production of record for the region.
Rate of lay was down in all regions except the tast and ~/est North CenUal regions which registered gains of 1 percent. Rate of lay per layer during the first three months of 1960 was 53.4 eggs, compared with 54.1 eggs during the same period in 1965.
On April I, the Nation's laying flock totaled 295,2bl,OOO birds, a decrease of 1 percent from March I and slightly below April I, 1965. The number of layers decl ined from Marcl in all regions except the South Central which was up I percent and the West which increased sl ightly. The April 1 rate of lay nationally was 62.7 eggs per 100 layers, 5 percent above the previous month and I percent above Apr.il I a year earl ier.

There were 68,000 cattle and calves on grain feed for slaughter market in Georgia on April 1, 1966. This was 24 percent above the 55,000 on feed April 1 last year~ but 13 percent below the 78,000 head on January 1, 1966.
The number of grain-fed cattle sold for slaughter during the January-through~1archquarter
totaled 46,000. This compares with 45,000 during the saMe period last year an9 22,000 during
the October-December quarter. There were 36,000 cattle and calves placed on feed January through ;ia"ch. This ~las 16, 000 head below placements during the previous quarter, but 20,000 above placements during the same period of 1965.
Cattle feeders in Georgia indicate they will market 50,000 head during April, May, and June. The remaining 18,000 head on feed April 1 will be marketed after June 30.
Of the 68,000 cattle and calves on feed April 1, 52,000 were steers, 15,000 were heifers, and 1,000 were cows and others. A total of 35,000 head had been on feed less than 3 months, 30,000 had been on feed 3-6 months, and the remaining 3,000 had been on feed more than 6 months.

There were 4,414,000 cattle and calves placed on feed in January~arch in the 32 States, an increase of 24 percent from the same period in 1965. Compared with a year earlier, placements were up 20 percent in the North Central States and up 17 percent in the Western States. Shipments of stocker and feeder cattle into 8 Corn Belt States during January and February were 24 ~rcent greater than for the same period in 1965.
Marketings of fed cattle for slaughter during the first quarter this year totaled 4,693,000 head in the 32 States--6 peroent higher than in the same period in 1965. Fed cattle marketings in the North Central States were up 3 percent from a year earlier while marketings in the 'Iestern States were up 6 percent.
~llig In~ent!!2~
Cattle feeders in the 32 major States intend to market 4,752,000 head during the April-June ~riod. This would be 12 percent higher than the actual marketings for the same period a year earlier. Intentions in the Western States point to a 10 percent increase in April-June marketings. Feeders in the North Central States plan 11 percent more marketings . A breakdown of anticipated marketings during the April-June quarter shows 32 percent to be marketed during April, 33 percent in May, and 35 percent in June. Expected marketings, as published, are based on the usual relationship between survey data and actual marketings.

GSORGIA: FIRST in broiler production
SE COND in cash receipts from eggs
THIRD in egg production
Commercial Broilers: Production of commercial broilers in Georgia for 1965 set a new record high with a total of almost 403 million birds according to the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service. This is the fifteenth consecutive year in which Georgia has led the nation in
broiler production. The 1965 commercial broiler production was about 8 percent more than in 1964.
Eg~ Production: Expansion of the egg production enterprise continued during 1965. Pro~ction of 3,546 million eggs was 7 percent more than the 1964 production. Georgia's rank in
e~ production in the nation was third behind California and Iowa. Georgia egg production
exceeded that in Iowa the last 6 months of 1965. 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.
Cash receipts from chickens and eggs of 131 million dollars exceeds the value of any
o~er agricultural enterprise in Georgia except commercial broilers.
Chickens and E~~s: Cash receipts from all chickens and eggs including commercial
broilers was 330 million dollars in 1965. This was the ninth year Georgia has led the nation
in cash receipts from all chickens and eggs. California was the second ranking State with 245 million dollars followed by Arkansas with 218 million dollars and Alabama with 216 million dollars.
Cash receipts from all chickens and eggs of 330 million dollars accounted for over one ~ird of the total from all farm marketings in Georgia in 1965.
Distribution of Egg Production and Income
Commercial Flocks (Flocks of 400 birds or more not used for hatching) The number of ~yers during 1965 averaged 11,630,000 - 8 percent more than in 1964, and accounted for 73 ~rcent of eggs produced in the State and 65 percent of cash receipts from eggs.
Hatching Egg Flocks averaged 3,909,000 layers - 7 percent more than in 1964. Egg pro~ction totaled 785 million - 9 percent more than in 1964 and accounted for 22 percent of
eus produced in the State and 32 percent of cash receipts from eggs.
Farm Flocks averaged 935,000 layers during the year - 15 percent less than in 1964. ~production at 163 million was 11 percent less than a year earlier. Farm flocks accountedfor 5 percent of eggs produced in State and 3 percent of the total cash receipts from all eggs. Ninety-two percent of the eggs consumed on farms where produced were from farm
flocks.

GEORGIA
1965 ANNUAL SUMMARY
GEORGIA MILK PRODUCTION UP 34 MILLION POUNDS PRODUCTION PER COW RECORD HIGH
Total milk production on Georgia farms in 1965 was estimated to be 986 mill ion pounds, ~pared with 952 mill ion the previous year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. These estimates of production relate to milk from all cows kept for milk, including those held ~imarily to produce milk for home consumption.
Milk produced per cow in herd during 1965 was placed at 5,800 pounds, a record high. This ~pared with the previous 'record level of 5,260 pounds in 1964.
The number of cows kept for milk on farms in the State averaged 170,000 - the lowest since these estimates were begun in 1937.
GRADE A MILK RECEIPTS UP SHARPLY, HIGHEST OF RECORD
Grade A milk sold wholesale to ~lants and dealers in 1965 totaled 860 mill ion pounds -60 mill ion pounds above the 1964 annua 1 tota 1 Grade A milk sold wholesale does not encompass ~ total milk produced for fluid consumption. A major portion of milk sold retail by farmers, wlch in 1965 totaled 35 mi 11 ion pounds, would also be Grade A.
Milk for manufacture totaled 10 mill ion pounds, the same as the 1964 output. Milk used ~farms where produced continued to decl ine. The 81 mill ion pounds in this category during 1~5 compared with 102 the previous year and was less than half the amount used on farms 5
years ago.
Cash receipts from combined marketings of milk (Grade A, manufacture, and milk sold ~tall by farmers) amounted to 55,571,000 dollars in 1965. This compared with 52,632,000
liars in 1964. The farm value of all milk produced was placed at 60,540,000 dollars -- 3 ~ent above the 58,929,000 dollars the previous year.

UNITED STATES MILK PRODUCTION, DISPOSITION, AND INCOME
1965 Milk Production Down 1.5 Percent
The 1965 milk output was 125. I bill ion pounds, 1.5 percent below the 1964 record. Production per cow, at 8,080 pounds in 1965, was 2.2 percent above 1964 -- the smallest annual increase since 1954. On a daily basis, total milk production in 1965 was down 1.3 percent, while output per cow was up 2.5 percent. The daily comparison is made because 1964 was a leap year with an extra day. The annual average number of milk cows, at 15,477 thousand, ~5 3.6 percent less than in 1964.
Util ization Percentaoes Shift
Milk used in production of factory products accounted for 49.8 percent of the milk produced in 1965 compared with 50.8 percent in 1964. This is the first time since 1960 that factory products have accounted for less than one-half of the total milk output. Nonfarm fluid consumption accounted for about 43 percent of the milk output compared with 42 percent in 1964. Farm uses (milk fed to calves, consumed in fluid form, and used for farm-churned butter) accounted for 6.8 percent of the total production compared with 7.1 percent a year ea rl i er.
Of the milk used for factory products, 46 percent went into butter production in 1965 compared with 48 percent in 1964, and 25 percent was used for production of cheese compared with 24 percent in 1964.
Cash Receipts from Marketinos at Record Level
Cash receipts from marketings of milk and cream totaled a record high of $5,084 million in 1965. This was 1 percent above the previous record in 1964. Cash receipts from marketin increased in all regions except the West North Central, where they decreased 2 percent. I~ creases were 3 percent in the South Atlantic and South Central Regions and I percent in the North Atlantic, East North Central, and West. Wisconsin led the States in cash receipts fr milk and cream marketings, accounting for one-eighth of the United States total. New York was second, followed by Cal ifornia, Minnesota, and Pennsylvania. These five leading States accounted for 43 percent of the Nation's receipts from milk and cream marketed.

The condition of vegetable and melon crops showed some improvement as of May 1. A rising temperature trend was very beneficial, but dry soils were becoming a factor in some ~thern areas. Cabbage harvest was well under way. Tomatoes are looking good and beginning to bloom, but stands are irregular in some fields. Older plantings of watermelons and untaloups are beginning to bloom and set fruit. Production of spring crops is expected to ~ small~r this year, due mainly to a reduction in acreage.
U-N-ITE-D -STA-TE-S
2Ering Veg~~21~~: Spring vegetable output of 39.6 million hundredweight is 4 percent
more than both last year and average.
SE!E ~~~: The first forecast of 1966 ~-~ring snap bean production is 359,000 hundredweight, 9 percent above last year. In South Carolina and Georgia,
~e crop is in good condition. In Alabama, harvest is expected to start in the extreme ~thern counties about mid-May and should peak before June 1.
~~~: BEing cantaloup supplies of 3.9 million hundredweight are 6 percent above
last year. Harvest is active in Florida, and is expected to begin in Texas, bona, and California after mid-May. The acreage of early summer cantaloups for harvest in
~~ is set at 10,150 acres, down 4 percent from last year-8nd-r>-percent below average. In
iwth Carolina, planting was nearly completed by May 1. Generally, the crop is up to good ds, but shortage of moisture during April retarded growth. In Georgia, growth of early
~tings has been slow. Some replanting was necessary because of dry soils and cool temperas. The cantaloup crop in central Arizona is in good condition. Harvest is expected to n in late June with shipments continuing until late July.
The first forecast of sweet corn production in the late spring States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and California is 553,OOo-hUndredweight, 11 percent from 1965. Stands in South Carolina are generally good. The Alabama crop making good progress. In California, warm weather during April improved growing conditions. erate supplies are expected to be available the last half of May, beginning in th~ chella Valley. Peak movements should occur in June in both the Coachella and San Joaquin w.eys.
Tomatoes: The ~ ~pring tomato crop, forecast at 1,095,000 hundredweight, is 12 percent below last year but 10 percent above average. In South Carolina, move-
,~ should begin in late May and peak in June. In Georgia, plants were beginning to bloom 8wthern areas by May 1. Harvest is expected to start about June 1. The Mississippi crop helped by recent rains in the Copiah County area but development is about a week late. siana tomatoes are in excellent condition. Harvest is expected to get under way in late in the New Orleans area and in early June in the Oak Grove area. In central and east s, early fields are blooming and setting fruit with first harvest expected in late May. ,Ule supplies should be available through June and into July.
Late spring watermelon production of 9.9 million hundredweight, is 2 per~ less than 1965. Heavy movement from Florida is expected by mid~ay. ers of early summer watermelons expect to have 201,900 acres for harvest in 1966. This age is ~c~r;ss than both last year and average. Planting of watermelons in South olina was nearly complete by May 1. Condition of the crop is generally good but harvest expected to be later than normal. Georgia planting is complete in all areas. Dry soils cool temperatures caused poor stands in some early planted fields with replanting neces'. Plants are beginning to run in southern areas. In Alabama, planting is complete in hern counties with some plants emerging and some early plantings nearing lay-by stage. In h Texas, plants were in good condition although a limited acreage was lost because of rains in late April. Excessive rains since May 1 may have caused additional damage.Light ,plents are expected from the Falfurrias area about May 20 with fair volume from all south areas by June 1. In central and east Texas, planting was nearly complete by May 1. '1plantings were setting fruit. Harvest from these areas is expected during the latter of June with peak movement during July. In north Texas, planting was active on the first the month. Most Arizona plantings were up to good stands on May 1 and are in good condition. est is expected to begin during the last half of June with supplies available through July.

GEOHGIA. CHICK HATCHER Y R2PORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended May 7 was
10,021,000--1 percent more than in the previous week and 10 percent more than
in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting ServicE'
.An estimated 14,228,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries-2. percent less than in the previous week but 15 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 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 64 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 $11. 00 with an average of $9.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 61 cents for eggs and $9. 25 for chicks.

PEACH PRODUCTION PROSPECTS SA1"1E AS A YEAR AGO
Athens, Ga.; May 11 _r Georgials 1966 peach crop is forecast'at 4,800,000 bushels --
unchanged from a year ago but sharply above the cold-damaged
crop ot 1964.
Prospects in the extreme southern producing areas, where first shipments were recorded
during the week of May 2, are very good. In the central part of the State some varieties
have been damaged, but the outlook is generally favorable. North Georgia peaches suffered
severe bud damage during late January and additional damage f~om heavy frost in March.
There was considerable damage to Keystone, Southland, Redglobe, and Sunhigh varieties.
Damage to Dixirsd,. Coronet, and Elberta was less severe. Tre~mortality has been unusually
heav,y in many areas.
i
The crop in all areas of the State received an abundance o~ chilling hours for normal
leaf and fruit bud development. However, most orchards reacheq full bloom several days later
.- than usual, and April weather, although favorable for spraying and other activities, further
delayed development because of below-normal temperatures Thepeach estimates, like those for practically all other crops, necessarily relate to

quantities used on farms where produced and any quantities not ~,tilized because of economic
conditions. The following table shows the relationship between the Department's total produc-
tion estimates and the inspected rail and truck shipments for the years 1959 through 1965.
The percentage of the total production moving in inspected shipments during this period has
varied from 40 to 53 percent except in 1965 when only 22 percent of production was inspected.

The peach crop in 9 Southern States is forecast at 16.4 million bushels, 2 percent less than last season but 10 percent above average. Lighter crops expected in South Carolina, Ala-
bama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Oklahoma are about offset by prospects for heavier crops in
North Ca~olina, louisiana, and Texas. Georgia's 1966 crop is expected to equal last season's.
A bumper crop is in prospect in North Carolina. Trees have an unusually heavy set of fruit and thinning will be necessary. In South Carolina, a good crop is in prospect. Widespread rains late in April and early May assure good fruit development during the early stages. The late March freeze resulted in a light fruit set on SUnhigh and Coronet varieties.
Georgia received sufficient winter chilling hours for bud develoFment. Below zero temperature late in January caused considerable bud damage in the northern half of the State, particularly to Keystone, Southland, Redglobe, and SUnhigh varieties. Crop prospects are fair to good south of Macon. Light movement is expected from the Brooks County area during the week of May
16. In Alabama, the late March freeze heavily damaged early varieties, but prospects for late
varieties are generally good. Harvest is expected to start about June 1.
In ~assissippi, the late March freeze caused heavy losses in northern areas, but prospects are fair in southern areas. The Arkansas crop suffered little damage during bloom. Current moisture supplies are adequate. In Louisiana, heavy thinning is required for most varieties. Wet weather during April interfered with orchard care. Harvest of early varieties will begin late this month.
In Oklahoma's eastern and central areas, orchards are in excellent condition but freezes on
April 20 and 21 damaged the northern and western crops. In Texas, prospects are generally good
in the major producing areas. Moisture is adequate and picking is expected to begin late in May.
In\C9lifornia, prospects are favorable for both the Clingstone and Freestone crops because
of their excellent set. Thinning of earliest varieties is under way. Insect and disease con-
trol measures have proceeded on schedule. In Utah, late blooming peaches suffered limited
damage from the April 27 and 28 freeze, although early blooming varieties were severely damaged.
In Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and West Virginia peach prospects are generally good. Pennsylvania's trees bloomed durIng a rain period late in April when insect activity was limited. In New York, frost in the Lake Ontario area damaged peach buds. clichigan1s crop is making average development.

GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF r1AY 1, 1966
1l1ay 11, 1966
April weather was generally favorable for field work, and planting of spring crops ~ogressed at a rapid pace after a delayed start. As of May 1, practically all tobacco had been ~ansplanted; cotton was three-fourths seeded; about 70 percent of peanuts seeded; and corn
~lanting was four-fifths completed.
Rainfall over the State varied widely. Some sections in southwest and south-central Georgia received little or no rain during the month. Heavy to excessive rainfall was recorded in northern areas during the latter part of the month. In drier locations in South Georgia, see'd germination was poor because of the lack of moisture, and some replanting has been necessary. '
f~h-rrospec~_E~r.~: Georgia1s 1966 peach crop is forecast at 4,800,000 bushels -the same as produced last year before excessive rains damaged
a good portion of the crop. The estimate of production includes both farm and comrnercial proFirst shipments from the Brooks County area were reported during the week of May 2.
~~eat Production Down: Production of wheat in Georgia is currently forecast at 1,512,000 --------------------- bushels -- 17 percent less than the 1,827,000 bushels produced last year. The production decline is the r~sult of less acres for harvest and a lower yield
per acre.
Milk Production: A total of 85 million pounds of milk was produced on Georgia farms dur-
--------------- ing April. The level is 1 percent above last month, but 1 percent
~ess than produced during April 1965.

Winter wheat prospects declined slightly during April, but the 1966 crop is expected to
larger than both last year and average. Spring work slowed in late April, but progressed aM of a year earlier in most of the important North Central Region. Rainfall in late April drenched parts of the South Central Region, but brought welcome surface moisture to the Atlan' tic Coastal States. Peach prospects are below last year in the Southern States. Harvest ofa large citrus crop is progressing favorably. Pastures and hay crops are developing slowly, bu May 1 prospects are better than last year in the North Atlantic and North Central States.
April milk production was 4 percent less than last year and egg production was slightly below
a year earlier.
~~~~~-f!2~~~~1n~: Indicated production of winter wheat declined last mont
but the 1966 crop is still expected to be 7 percent larger than last year and 10 percent above average. Moisture shortages were critical in a l'
ted area centering in the Texas Panhandle, but beneficial rains fell in other wheat areas of the Southern Plains. Subnormal April rainfall and cool weather slowed development in Central and North~rn Plains wheat areas, but subsoil reserves fa70r rapid growth. Freezing temperat in late April were severe enough to burn wheat leaves in areas from Texas northward. The cr~ developed slowly, but actual losses were limited to an area in southwestern Kansas, southeastern Colorado and the Oklahoma Panhandle. In this area, fields that were heading when the frost came were damaged to some extent--depending on the location, variety and stage of devel mente Wheat prospects continue favorable in the Corn Belt and most other areas. The prospect
tive yield of 28.4 bushels per harvested acre compares with 21.3 bushels estimated for 1965.
~~_r~~h-2~iE~_1~r: Peach production in the 9 Southern States is expected to
total 16.4 million bushels, 2 percent less than last year but 10 percent above average. April freezes in the mountain and northwestern States reduced
prospects for early fruits. Cherry prospects are down in eastern Oregon, eastern Washington and in Utah and Colorado, but there was relatively little damage to the crop in Idaho. Apricots in Utah were damaged severely. In Utah and Colorado other fruits were damaged to some extent. Fruit prospects in California are generally good.
Citrus production for 1965-66 is expected to be 13 percent greater than last year and 16 percent above average. By May I about 10 percent of the orange crop and 88 percent of the grapefruit crop had been picked. Mostly Valencias remain to be picked. An estimated 38.7 million boxes of oranges and 5.4 million boxes of grapefruit remained for harvest after ~ay 1 compared with 30.9 million oranges and 5.1 million grapefruit a year earlier.
~~29~~g: April milk output in the United States is estimated at 10,814 million
pounds, 4 percent less than a year earlier and 3 percent below the
1960-64 average for the month. On a daily average basis, production increased 6 percent in
April this year, compared with an advance of 5 percent a year earlier.
~ltrv an9-~gg~: The Nation's laying flock produced 5,548 million eggs during April, slightly below April last year and 1 percent below the 1960-64 April
average (48 State comparison). The average number of layers on hand during April was 293.0
million, slightly below a year earlier and down seasonally 1 percent from a month earlier.
Production per layer averaged 18.93 eggs during April, down slightly from a year earlier and from a month earlier. Aggregate egg production January through April 1966 was 21,514 million eggs, down 1.5 percent from the corresponding period a year earlier.
Rate of lay per layer in April was 18.93 eggs compared with 18.95 a year earlier.
Regionally, the rate of lay was 2 percent below a year earlier in the North Atlantic and 1 per cent in the West. The rate increased 1 percent from a year earlier in the West North Central, South Atlantic, and South Central but was unchanged in the East North Central.
Layer numbers on riay 1 are estimated at 290.8 million, 1 percent below May 1, 1965 and down seasonally 2 percent from April 1, 1966.

CROP CONDITION REDUCED
Released 3 p.m. Tuesday
Athens, Ga., May 31 -- Condition of the major crops was reduced as a result of excessive
soil moisture throughout most of the State, according to the Georgia Crop Keporting Service.
Weeds were becoming a serious problem in many fields, especially where no chemical control
measures were used. Farmers have been unable to cultivate for as long as two weeks or more.
rains during the week resulted in heavy soil erosion in many areas.
County Agents' rerorts show a marked decrease in 21!2n condition from the previous week.
Cotton is dying in many sections because of cool, wet weather. I~orth Georgia farmers have yet to complete their intended plantings. Some fields will be planted to an alternate crop as soon as soil and weather conditions permit. Cotton stands are very skippy and some acreage was drowned.
Tobacco acreage, esrecially in the low lying areas, was drowned and plant wilting was prevalent in many fields. Much of the farmers ' activities during the period were centered around drainage of tobacco fields. Condition of the crop varies from poor to good.
Late planted Qln has become grassy as farmers were unable to conduct weed control measures. Many fields have not been cultivated since planting because of wet soils.
Peanut stands are generally good; however, grass has become a problem. No additional soybean acreage has been planted since last week.
Much of the maturing small grains is fall ing over as a result of the heavy rains, and sunshine is needed. ~ qual ity was lowered and some was lost during the week. Pasture condition remains mostly good to excel lent.
Peach movement in the Brooks County area was slowed by the daily showers. Daily spraywas necessary in many areas. Open weather is needed for harvesting and disease control.
Market Managers reported excessive moisture caused a considerable loss of vegetables
that were ready for harvest. Many fields in southern areas were water logged and disease
damage was becoming prevalent in most areas. The harvest season for snap beans, cabbage and
early squash will be short. Torr"ltClf'.s are in fair to good condition with light harvest..>l<pected
'around June I. Some serious disease was showing up in watermelons and cantalouo-~ S-un~hine
is needed for cultivation and disease control.

GEORGIA PRICES RECEIVED INDEX I POINT HIGHE~
The Index of Prices Received by Georgia farmers for all commodities increased I point
during the month ended May IS, 1966 to 259. This was 3 points higher than on May IS, 1965.
Seasonally lower prices for eggs caused a decl ine in the Index of Prices Received for Livestock and Livestock Products despite a sl ight increase in broiler prices. Meat animal prices were substantially the same as a month ago. The Livestock and Livestock Products Index
at 237 was 26 points above that for May 15, 1965 as almost al I components were higher than a
year ago.
Small increases in prices for grains, potatoes, soybeans, and cotton caused an increase
in the All Crops Index to 268. This was 9 points below that of May 15, 1965.
UNITED STATES PRICES RECEIVED INDEX DO~N 2 POINTS
PARITY INDEX UNCHANGED, PARITY KATIO 79
During the month ended May 15, the Inde~ of Prices Received by Farmers decl ined 2 points (3/4 percent) to 263 percent of its 1910-14 average. Seasonally lower prices for eggs and
wholesale milk, together with a decl ine in cattle prices, were mainly responsible for the decrease. Partly offsetting were higher prices for oranges, apples, and wheat. The index was
5 percent above May 1965.
The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers for Commodities and Services, Including Interest,
Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, remained unchanged from the previous month. At 333, the index was 3 percent above a year earl ier.
v!ith farm product prices off 2 points, and prices paid by farmers averaging unchanged,
the Parity Ratio decl ined I point to 79 in May, I point above a year earl ier.

TH POULTRY AND ..:;GG SITUATION Approved by the Outlook and Situation Board, June 7, 1966
SITUATION AND OUTLOOK (BROILi:l.~S)
Output Continue s d.apid Increase
Federally inspected plants slaughtered 2, 368 million pounds of young chickens in January-April, 8 percent more than during the first 4 months of 1965. And, in the 4 weeks ended May 25, weekly slaughter in th'3se plants ran 4 percent ahead of the like 1965 period. Broiler production likely will continue 5 to 10 percent above the 1965 level at least through summer .P.bout 8 percent more chicks than a year earlier were placed for broiler production in 23 States in th2 10 weeks ended June 4. These will provide most of the broilers for slaughter in the June-July period. :2gg settings for broiler chicks in the 23 States were 7 percent larger than a year earlier in the 3 weeks ended June 4. Last year, these .3tates produced 96 percent of the Nation1s broilers.
Larger broiler hatching egg supplies will tend to maintain the current rate of production expansion throughout the rest of the year. Prices over the next few months also probably will be high enough to sustain interest in expansion. Based on pullet chicks placed by leading primary breeders advanced 7 fo 14 months (period in which most of the pullets will belaying), the Nation I s broiler hatching egg supply flock will continue about a tenth larger than in 1965 during the second half. In April, pullet chick placements for s.upply flocks totaled 3.9 million, only 1 percent above a year earlier. This, however, is no clear cut indication that the broiler industry has begun to increase production capacity at a slower rate. If pullet chick placements were held at last year1s level over the next 3 months, the national broiler hatchery supply flock would still permit the current rate of expansion to continue through mid-1967.
Competition Prom Other loods to Increas e
Broiler prices in recent months have averaged well above year-earlier levels despite substantially larger production. U.:. farm prices in May averaged 16.7 cents per pound compared with 15.8 cents in April and 15.4 cents in May 1965. During January-May, farm prices averaged 16.5 cents per pound, up 9 percent from the first 5 months of 1965. After the Memorial Day demand was satisfied, broiler prices weakened. For the week beginning June 6, ready-to-cook broilers delivered in Chicago were quoted at 28. 7 cents per pound, down 0.8 cent from 2 weeks earlier.
Broiler prices appear to be benefiting from the same factors that have brought about higher prices for most other high-protein foods. These include reduced per capita supplies of a number of high-protein foods, especially red meat, milk, and eggs, and a continued growth in the economy. In May, the index of prices received by farmers for livestock and products, at 284, was 12 percent above a year earlier. This was down from 23 percent above a year earlier in January. In May, prices for each of the major components of the index- -meat animals, dairy products, and poultry and eggs - -were substantially higher.
2conomic activity and consumer incomes are expected to contin ue to grow. However, over the next several months and probably well into 1967, total high-protein food supplies, especially pork, poultry, and eggs, may increase faster than demand. This would bring downward price pressures on high-protein food items. Consequently, broiler prices are likely to weaken later thi.s year and thi s fall probably will average below current and year-earlier levels.
(OV~l:~ )
Sha.rp Rise For Poultry
Civilian per capita consumption of poultry (chicken and turkey) climbed to a record of 40.7 pounds in 1965--up from 38.4 pounds in 1964 and 34.3 pounds in 1960. Total chicken consumption in 1965 rose 2.1 pounds to 33.3 pounds. Broilers accounted for 29.4 pounds of the total. Turkey consumption in 1965, at 7.4 pounds, was up a fifth of a pound from 1964. Essentially all of the increase in poultry consumption in 1965 occurred in the second half of the year.
Per capita poultry cons umption probably will rise about another 3 pounds in 1966. This would be a larger increase than during 1965 and the largest year-to-year gain since 1961's 3.3 pounds.
Use of highly processed convenience foods, made entirely or partly from poultry, continued to gain in popularity in 1965. The products are cut-up poultry, poultry parts, frozen dinners, poultry pot pies, turkey rolls and roasts, and other convenience foods. Federally inspected plants in 1965 carried over a fourth of all certified chicken beyond the ready-to-cook whole-bird stage. This compares with 24 percent in 1964 and 21 perc in 1962. Comparable percentages for plants slaughtering turkeys were 26 percent in 1965, about 22 percent in 1964, and 17 percent in 1962. Last year, Federally inspected plants processed 84 percent of the Nation's production of chicken and 88 percent of the turkey.
Broiler Prices Higher
Retail broiler and fryer prices in 1965 averaged 39.0 cents per pound compared with 37.8 cents the previous year and 42.7 cents in 1960. Prices in 1965 averaged above the 1964 level in each quarter. Price strength, in the face of larger supplies, can be attributed to reduced pork production and growth in demand for high-protein food which was associated with a vigorously expanding economy. Turke~r prices to consumers during the holiday months of November and December last year averaged 48.9 cents per pcuDd compared ;.vith 46.6 cents in those months of 1964.
Poultry certified in Federally inspected plants in the first 4 months of 1966 ran 8 percent or 209 million pounds (ready-to-cook) above early 1965 and essentially all of this increase moved into consumption during the period. Hatchery data indicate that production will continue expanding at about this rate at least through early summer. Prices to consumers for broilers and fryers in January-April averaged 42.2 cents per pound compared with 38.4 cents a year earlier. Under the impact of increasing supplies of poultry and pork, retail prices for broilers and fryers, and turkeys are likely to decline in coming months. Second half prices likely will average below recent and year ago levels.
Growth in Poultry Exports Loses Momentum
In January-February, poultry exports ran much above the maritime strike-depressed levels of a year earlier, but in March and April they were up by a much smaller margin. Broiler exports (mostly parts) during the entire 4-month period totaled 30.9 million pounds, compared with 20.9 million in January-April 1965. They were equivalent to 2 percent of Federally certified slaughter. Sales to West Germany accounted for 24 percent of the January-April total, the same as in that period last year.

Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia. during the week ended June 4 was 10,085,000--2 percent more than in the previous week and 15 percent mdre than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 14, 026, 000 broiler type eg.gs were set by Georgia hatcheries--
slightly less than in the previous week but 16 perceI}.t 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 75 cents per dozen. The averag~ price of h_atching eggs was 64 cents pe~ dozen. The price of eggs from flocks wit,h 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 $11.00 with an average of $9.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 60 cents for eggs and $9. 00 for chicks.

Released: June 8, 1966
- -DRGIA
Unfavorable weather conditions the last half of May caused a considerable loss of vegeta-
BS that were ready for harvest. Excessive moisture and cool nights delayed growth, and ~ease damage was becoming prevalent in many areas.
Harvest of spring snap beans and cabbage was practically complete by June 1. Light vol-
of tomatoes moved to market around June 1. Only light supplies of watermelons and canta~ps are expected before mid-June from southern areas. Since June 1, weather conditions have Mnvery favorable and better quality produce is now being marketed.
UNITED STATES
tiP BEANS: Production of mid-spring snap beans is estimated at 311,000 hundredweight, 5 per-
cent below the 1965 crop. Heavy rains in South Carolina and Georgia during the ~ week of May slowed harvest, and some loss of potential supplies occurred. Picking is ex-
ted to be over by mid-June. In Alabama, harvest was past the peak in southern areas and ~become active in most northern areas about May 25. The crop in Mississippi is about two
three weeks late. Heavy raihs during the growing season reduced yields.
The first forecast' of earty summer cantaloups places production at 446,000 hundredweight, 19 per~ent-be ow-iBst year and 28 percent below the 1960-64 average. 11, wet weather in South Carolina has caused more replanting than usual. Harvest is expectIII to begin about July 1. Heavy rains nooded some fields in Georgia causing considerable illlage to vines and shedding of blooms and small fruit. Light harvest is expected around mide. In central Arizona, harvest should begin about mid-June with supplies available through IlIlt of July.
:T CORN: The ~ !E!D! sweet corn production is estimated at 563,000 hundredweight, 10
percent below last year. In South Carolina, harvest is expected to begin about d-June. Some acreage in Georgia will not be harvested because of rain damage. Light vol-
was expected in early June. Harvest in Alabama is expected to begin about June 15 in the Idwin area with peak movement in late June. Supplies are expected to be available through 'e first half of July. Moderate supplies moved during May from the Coachella Valley of Calibr~a. Harvest should start in Kern County around June 10. Both areas are expected to peak 1D June. Limited supplies are expected to continue into early July.
TOES: The production of ~ spr!D& tomatoes is estimated at 1,118,000 hundredweight, 10 percent below last year but 12 percent above average. The harvest in South
olina is just beginning in the Beaufort area and will start in the Charleston area in early
ftne. Fruit set has been the b~st in several years. The Georgia and Mississippi crops' have ,en damaged by recent heavy rains. Excessive rains in Louisiana have reduced tomato crop aspects in both the New Orleans and northeast areas. Light picking began in the New Orleans 11'88 in late May and is expected to peak about mid-June. Light harvest was expected to start
It Oak Grove in early June but heavy volume is not expected before June 15. Heavy rains in
"~ral and east Texas during May retarded fruit set and some acreage also was lost. The crop is generally late. Light picking was underway in early June but volume movement is not lIpected until later in the month. On the High Plains plants are growing well.
~RMELONS: The early summer watermelon crop, forecast at 15,211,000 hundredweight, is 6 percent less than last year and 3 percent below average. The North Carolina
cr~ escaped serious damage by the frost of early May but harvesting of early planted fields bn~ expected to start until mid-July. Cool, wet weather has delayed South Carolina's crop mdcaused more replanting than usual. May rainfall was heavy in the Pageland-ehesterfield, II! the Barnwe11-Hampton-Al1endale areas. Movement from the Barnwell-Hampton-Allendale area ould begin about July 1 and from the Pageland-ehesterfield area about mid-July. Frequent nina in Georgia caused shedding of blooms. Light volume is expected around mid-June. In UBbama, watermelons are making, good growth after a slow start. In extreme southern counties, ~eat is expected to begin around June 10. Harvest of the main crop should start around hne 20 with heaviest movement expected about July 1. The crop will be late in Mississippi ~8u8e of the wet weather. In Arkansas, rains and cool weather resulted in poor stands, ~8iderable replanting, and many fields becoming grassy. However, with more favorable nher the last week of May, watermelon fields are being cultivated and prospects have im-
~ed. In Louisiana, development of the crop is late because of cold, wet weather.
(Continued on next page)
Ln ~ne 0allne area, harvest is expected to begin shortly after July 1. The crop in the
Terral area of Oklah~na is 4 or 5 days later than usual. Considerable i~1anting was necessary
ts. The plants are beginning to vine, but very fet-l. ,melon~ have .,set. ',fexas I1Jelons ar~~!,;r~covering

ATHENS, GEORGIA
GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF JUNE 1, 1966
June 13, 1966
~~: Heavy rains and cool temperatures have done considerable damage to Georgia1s major crops. Those planted in low areas were seriously damaged or ~owned. The continu-
ing rains during May prevented cUltivation, and grass and weeds became a major problem. A wek of open weather followed the heavy rains, and farmers were bUsy cleaning their crops.
Harvest of small grains and hays moved forward during the open weather, but tropical storm Alma caused another interruption.
PEACHES: The June 1 forecast of 4,800,000 bushels for all peaches is unchanged from
the estimate a month ago. The estimate equals the quantity produced last year before rains damaged a good portion of the crop.
WHEAT: The June 1 forecast placed Georgia's 1966 wheat production at 1,566,000 bushels14 percent below last year. Yield per acre was estimated at 29.0 bushels -
fue same as the previous year.
MAY EGG PRODUCTION UP: Egg production nn Georgia farms during May was estimated at
347 million - 28 million eggs above production in May last ~ar. Number of layers on hand during May averaged 17,792,000, compared with 16,224,000
s year ago.
MILK PRODUCTION DOWN: Milk production on Georgia farms totaled 85 million pounds 1 million less than produced in Hay 1965.
~~2 ~~~~l vlinter wheat production fell off 11 percent during Mayas rains were light
and prospects dropped sharply in the important Central Plains area. The
c~rent estimate is 5 percent less than last year and 1 percent below average. Estimated spring wheat production is 14 percent less than last year. The all wheat total for 1966 is 7percent under last year but 1 percent above average. Planting of corn and soybeans lagged
~hind last year and normal in the eastern Corn Belt and South Central areas, but seeding vas in full swing at the end of May. Hay and pasture crops were good in the East but developed slowly because of cool May weather. Dry soils retarded growth of range and hay crops in Western areas. Fruit prospects were lowered by frosts, but national prospects are
still favorable. May milk production was 4 percent less than last year and the lowest May total since 1940. Egg production was 1 percent smaller than during May last year.
WINTER vVHEAT PROSPECTS DROP SHARPLY: 1966 winter wheat crop prospects declined sharply
during Mayas prospects were lowered in the important Central Plains areas. Moisture shortages accentuated damage by April and May frosts causing a sharp reduction in yield and some loss of acreage. Dry weather also lowered potential wheat production in the Pacific Northwest. Losses in these areas were partly offset by improved prospects in the Corn Belt and most other Eastern areas. The June 1
~tional estimate of 975 million bushels is 11 percent below the forecast of a month earlier, Spercent less than the 1965 total and 1 percent below average.
Spring wheat seeding was practically complete except for delays caused by wet fields in the Red River area of North Dakota and lVlinnesota. JViost acreage survived earlier freezes with little damage and is progressing well. May rainfall was less than normal over much of the spring wheat area and good June rains are needed to stimulate crop development. The fore-
cast for 1966 production of all spring wheat is 259 million bushels -- 14 percent less than last year, but 10 percent above average.
PEACHES: The first forecast of the Nation's 1966 peach crop is 76.4 million bushels, 3 percent more than last year and 2 percent above average. Excluding Cali-
r~nia Clingstones, mostly a canning crop, a production of 40.2 million bushels is forecast,
Bpercent less than last year and 11 percent below average.
Production in the 9 Southern States is expected to total 16.4 million bushels, 2 per-
cent less than last year. Throughout the area rainfall has been adequate for good sizing. In ~orgia, rain during May prevented growers from carrying out an effective spray program.

Early varieties harvested in May showed brown rot and water rot in some localities. Late varieties are generally free of disease and insect damage. Redcaps and Cardinals are being harvested in the Fort Valley area. Harvest of Dixired and Coronet varieties was expected to
start about June 10. In South Carolina1s upper Coastal Plains, harvest of early varieties
started about mid~ay. Harvest in the Ridge area was expected to begin early in June and in the Piedmont late in June. Dixireds and Coronets also will begin to move the last half 0 the month. Weather has been favorable for thinning and spraying. North Carolina's trees se a heavy crop. Droppage resulting from May rains thinned the fruit but left a large crop. Alabama's early varieties were severely damaged by a late March freeze. In Arkansas, most orchards set a heavy crop of fruit and thinning was required. Louisiana's trees have a good set of fruit. Picking was underway the latter part of May with good volume expected earlyll June. In Texas, fruit is sizing well. Harvest is underway at Stonewall.
MILK PRODUCTION: May milk production nationally is estimated at 11,707 million pounds,
4 percent less than a year earlier and the least for the month since
1940. May is usually the peak month in milk production, but the seasonal peak has become less pronounced in recent years. Milk output has been 4 percent or more below year-earlier levels for each of the last 7 months.
POULTRY AND EGGS: Egg production during May totaled 5,676 million eggs,l percent below May 1965 and down slightly from the 1960-64 May average. The
average number of layers on hand during May was 288.9 million, 1 percent below a year earlier
and down seasonally from a month earlier. Production per layer averaged 19.65 eggs, down slightly from both a year earlier and the 1960-64 average. Egg production for January -M~ totaled 27,188 million eggs, down 1.5 percent from the same period a year earlier.
Layer numbers on June 1 are estimated at 287.0 million, down 1 percent from both a man
earlier and a year earlier. Compared to a year earlier, layer numbers decreased 9 percent ~ the West North Central, 6 percent in the East North Central, and 3 percent in the North
Atlantic States. Layer numbers were up 4 percent in the West, 3 percent in the South Atlan-
tic, and 1 percent in the South Central regions_ The June 1 rate of lay per 100 layers was 63.1 eggs compared with 63.5 a month earlier and 63.4 on June 1, 1965.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended June 11 was 10, 026, 000- -1 percent less than in the previous week but 8 percent more than in
the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 13,998,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries,..slightly less than in the previous week but 16 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 75 cents per dozen~ The average price of hatching eggs was 64 cents per dozen. Th'3 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 $11.00 with an average of $9.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 60 cents for eggs and $9.00 for chicks.

The U. S. pig crop for the 6-month period December 1965 through May 1966 totaled 47,025,000 head, 10 percent more than the 42,853,000 head a year earlier. Increases over a year earlier by regions were as follows: East and West North Central, each up 9 percent; North Atlantic, up 10 percent; South Central up 13 percent; South Atlantic, up 14 percent; and the West up 10 percent.
December~1ay sow farrowings were 2 percentage points more than indicated by farmers' intentions as of December 1, 1965. December~ay f~rrowings and intentions reported last December as a percentage of a year earlier by regions are: North Atlantic, 111 percent now and l~ percent in Becember; East North Central 107 and 106; West North Central 107 and 105; South
Atlantic 114 and 113; South Central 113 and 113; West 107 and 107.
The number of pigs per little averaged a record 7.33 in the December-May period compared with an average of 7.22 reported a year earlier.
Farrowings during the December~~ay period were up in all months as compared with a year earlier.
0JN=NO~'IffilL~~T~~~'-l!L1Q_r1fEQ.~I
. June 1 reports from farmers on breeding intentions indicate that 5,728,000 sows will farrow in the United States during June-November 1966. This is a 10 percent increase from the 5,222,000 sows farrowing during the corresponding period of 1965 but is still below the average. Increase in sow farrowings from June-November last year are indicated in all regions.
If intentions for June-November farrowings materialize and the number of pigs per litter equals the average plus an allowance for trend, the pig crop for the period will total 41,800,000 head, 10 percent more than a year earlier and reversing the downward trend of the past several years. The combined pig crop for 1966 would be 88,825,000 head, 10 percent above the 1965 pig crop.

The 1966 crimson clover seed production in Georgia is forecast at 600,000 pounds com~ed with 1,350,000 pounds in 1965. The acreage harvested is 5,000 compared with 10,000 ~st year and is the smallest acreage harvested since 1943. Yield per acre of 120 pounds is ~pounds below last season and 20 below the 1960-64 average.
Unfavorable weather conditions during the harvesting season were largely responsible for he small acreage harvested and also reduced yield per acre.
1!!!i~9 ~~.
Crimson clover seed production in the Southern States this year is estimated at
2,810,000 pounds, 32 percent less than the 1965 crop. Reseeding varieties such as Dixie,Au~uga, and AUburn are expected to total 1,600,000 pounds compared with the 2,303,000 pounds
~oduced from these varieties last year.
In Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia favorable weather conditions last fall permitted crimIon clover to become well established. The crop came through the dry, cold winter in general1 good condition. Early in the spring below normal temperatures and heavy rains delayed ~o~h in Georgia while dry conditions held back the crop in Arkansas. Excessive rain hampered combining in Alabama and Mississippi. Some fields were not harvested because combines ~ld not enter the fields. In Georgia rains caused heavy shattering and much of the intended reage was not harvested. Acreage harvested was below last year in all States. The five-
:tate total of 19,600 acres is 26 percent below the 26,600 acres harvested last year, and 46 percent below the 1960-64 average.
Yield per acre in the five-State area is estimated at 143 pounds, a decrease of 11 pounds ~~ the 154 pound yield in 1965. Yields were below 1965 in Georgia, Alabalna, and Tennessee
idle bigher. yields w~re .reForted in Arkansas and Mississippi.
Harvest of crimson clover seed was 3 to 9 days later than last year. Average beginning tes of harvest this year were: Nay 21 in Georgia; Hay 26 in l'lississippi; Hay 28 in Ala-
a; June 1 in Arkansas; June 6 in Tennessee.
Carryover of old-crop crimson clover seed by growers in the five Southern States is esti-
ted at 79,000 pounds, 4 percent less than last year's carryover of 82,000 pounds. A report
. ering June 30, 1966 stocks of old-crop seeq held by dealers will be issued August 3,1966. There has been no crimson clover seed imported since September 1963 when 44,000 pounds
re imported.
An estimate of the late harvested crimson clover seed crop in Oregon is scheduled for release August 11.

The Index of Prices Received by Georgia farmers for all commodities increased I point during the month ended June IS, 1966 to 262. This was 6 points higher than on June 15, 1965.
Increase in prices of meat animals and eggs was more than sufficient to offset sl ightly lower prices for broilers and milk. The Livestock and Livestock Products increased 3 points to 240 which was 17 points higher than on June 15, 1965.
Change in prices of commodities used in the AI I Crops Index were rather minor and at 271 it was I point below both a month ago and the same date last year.

The Index of Prices Received by Farmers advanced 1 point (1/3 percent) during the month ended June 15, to 264 percent of its 1910-14 average.

The Index of Prices Paid by Farmers for Commodities and Services, including Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates, remained unchanged from the previous month. At 333, the index
was 3 percent above a year earl ier.

Georqia's 1966 Cotton Acreaqe Down 153,000
July 8, 1966
The 1966 acreage of cotton planted in Georgia is estimated at 440,000, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 153,000 less than the 593,000 planted in 1965. and is the smallest acreage of record with the exception of 1958 when 388,000 acres were planted.
The decl ine in acreage is due largely to the multiple-choice program in effect for up-
land cotton this year. Most growers elected to divert up to 35 percent of their allotment.
Scme intended acreage was not planted due to the unfavorable weather during the planting
season.
'~ .'" '.j
Planted acreage for the United States is estimated at 10,567,000 for 1966 compared with 14,153,000 acres last season.
The first 1966 production estimate will be made on August 8.

Jul y 1, 1966
GEORGIA
Released: July 8, 1966
Production of summer vegetables and melons is expected to be about 17 percent below a year ago according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Heavy and continuous rains around planting time caused considerable abandonment and replanting.
Disease and excessive moisture have damaged production of cantaloups and watermelons. Harvesting this year is later than normal with moderate to volume suppl ies being marketed from south and central areas. Vegetable crops are moving in 1 ight to moderate suppl ies from the mountain areas.
UN irED STATES
LIMA BEANS: Summer 1 ima bean production, at 216,000 hundredweight, is 19 percent below last year and 32 percent below the 1960-64 average. In New York, the crop is progress-
ing satisfactorily although slowed by earl ier cool weather. In New Jersey, the crop has made satisfactory progress. Picking was expected to begin about July 10 and continue through August. In Maryland, beans are generally in good condition, but moisture is needed, especially in the north central area. Early suppl ies are expected about mid-July. In North Carol ina, growing conditions in the northeast area are sl ightly below normal. Harvest should start before mid-July. In Alabama, harvest was in full swing on July 1 in southern counties. Plantings in northern counties were making good growth. In Georgia, 1 imas were moving in volume from southern areas by the end of June.
SNAP BEANS: Production of summer snap beans is forecast at 1,037,000 hundredweight, 12 percent
below last year. Development in New England is late but conditions are good. Volume suppl ies should be available by mid-July with peak movement about August 1. In New York, plant growth was slow until late June because of cool weather. Harvest started in early July, about a week later than last year. In Pennsylvanid, good suppl ies should be available by mid-July. In Ohio, many growers have been irrigating, mostly offsetting the effect of adverse dry weather during June. In 111 inois, the acreage was planted late. Good yields are expected; however, rain is needed. In Michigan, hot weather in late June speeded development but picking is not expected to start until the middle of July; later than usual. The crop in southwest Virginia has been hurt by extremely dry conditions. Harvest has started in the earliest fields, although volume during July is expected to be 1 ight. In North Carol ina, more than usual replanting was necessary. Most fields made rapid growth during the last half of June. Volume suppl ies are expected during late July and early August, about two weeks later than usual. In Georgia, 1ight volume is expected by mid-July, and volume harvest in early August, one to two weeks later than normal. Dry weather has been detrimental to the crop in Tennessee. In Alabama, harvest was active in all areas by the end of June. Good prospects, despite warm, dry weather, are indicated for Colorado. Harvest is expected to start by midJuly.
CANTALOUPS: An ~ summer cantaloup crop of 394,000 hundredweight is forecast, 29 percent less than last year and 36 percent below average. Harvest in South Carol ina was
expected to start in early July, 1 to 2 weeks later than usual. Heavy rains and 1ight flooding reduced the early fruit set in some areas. Also, many fields have irregular stands. In Georgia, moderate to volume suppl ies will be available in early July. A short harvesting season is indicated. Harvest in Arizona's Salt River Valley began in mid-June. Moderate suppl ies are expected until mid-July.
YATERMELONS: ~ summer watermelon production is placed at 14,632,000 hundredweight, 9 per-
cent less than 1965. The North Carol ina crop made good progress during June.
However, some fields have thin stands and the vines were smaller than usual on July 1. Harvest
is expected to start in late July. The South Carol ina crop is later than normal. Active
movement from the Barnwell-Hampton-Allendale area should begin about July 10 and from the
Pageland-Chesterfield area about July 20. In Georgia, moderate su 1 ies were available in
southern and central areas by the end of June. Some fields were ~~~~~ge ~y aa~~ se weather. In Alabama, movement from southern counties was at peak on July l. In other ar as, harvest is
expected to begin in early July. The Mississippi crop is through July and continue well into August. The Arkansas

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended July 9 was 9,666,000--1 percent less than in the previous week but 9 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop l~eporting 3ervice.
An estimated 13,670,000 broiler tYP3 eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries,-slightly more than in the previous week and 18 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.
The majority of the price s paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 60 to 75 cents per dozen. The average price
of hatching eggs was 65 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
ISll.oo with an average of $10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were
61 cents for eggs and $9.25 for chicks.

GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE
ATHENS, GEORGIA
GENERAL CROP REPORT AS OF JULY 1, 1966
Ju Iy 13, 1966
Georgia Crop Prospects Highly Vnrlable: A series of adverse conditions has resulted in varying degrees of damage to the State's crops, according
to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Periods of excessive rainfall and prolonged dry weather have resulted in poor stands and below normal crop conditions in areas throughout the State. Cotton, corn, and tobacco were hard hit in local areas. Peanuts came through in good condition. In spite of bad weather, about harvest time, yields from grain crops are reported equal to, or above last year's levels.
Corn Production Down 12 Percent: Corn production in 1966 is forecast at 63,382,000 bushels;
---
---- --
12 percent less than last year's crop of 80,835,000 bushels.
Acreage for grain harvest is estimated to be 1,474,000, compared with 1,585,000 in 1965. Yield
per acre is indicated to be 43.0 bushels, compared with last year's all-time high of 51.0
bushels.
Tobacco Production Down: Georgia's flue cured tobacco production is estimated at 111,600,000 pounds compared with last year's 112,135,000 pounds. Acreage for
harvest at 62,000 is 7,300 above 1965. The acreage increase is the result of an allowance for undermarketings last year. Yield per acre is estimated to be 1,800 pounds -- 250 pounds per acre less than the 2,050 produced last year.
Grain Production Up: In spite of adverse weather at periods during harvest, yields of grains
----
-- are reported to be equal to or greater than last year's levels. Wheat
yields are up 2 bushels, oats unchanged, and rye and barley are up 5 bushels each. The increase
in production of oats and rye more than offset the decl ine in production of wheat and barley
and resulted in an overall grain production increase of 5 percent.
Soybean Acreage ~ 12 Percent: The acreage of soybeans to be harvested for beans is indicated

UNITED STATES CROP SUMMARY AS OF JULY 1, 1966
Crop prospects are not quite as favorable as a year ago. June weather permitted farmers to catch up on planting, but crop progress is somewhat behind normal. Crop acreage declined sl ightly, but soybeans, corn, barley, rice, and potatoes were among crops having increases. Feed grain production is expected to be sl ightly less than last year. Winter wheat improved, but spring wheat prospects decl ined in June. Milk production was 3 percent less and
egg production 2 percent less than during June 1965.
Crops planted for 1966 harvest total 306 mill ion acres -- 1.7 mill ion less than the 196~ total, but nearly the same as In 1964. Total acreage of feed grain increased 1 percent, but
food grain and oilseed acreage decl ined. Despite delayed plantings, farmers seeded most in-
tended crop acreages although there were some shifts; notably from cotton to soybeans in south-
ern areas.
Indicated acreage for harvest in 1966 decl ined about the same as for planted acreage. Acreage losses af,ter planting are expected to total about the same as in 1965. The current estimate of 292 mill ion acres for harvest is the second smallest of recent years -- only 1962
showing a smaller harvested total.
CORN: A total production of 4.2 bill ion bushels of corn for grain is now expected in 1966.
This would be a new record -- I percent more than the previous high of last year and 12
percent above the 1960-64 average. The indicated acreage of corn to be harvested for grain in 1966 Is 3 percent more than last year, but 4 percent below average. A 1966 yield of 71.8 bushels per acre is indicated by crop prospects on July 1. This yield is 1.3 bushels less than the record 1965 yield of 73.1 bushels.
ALL WHEAT: Production of all wheat is forecast at 1,240 mill ion bushels, 7 percent below last year but 1 percent above average. The yield per harvested acre of 25.3 bushels,
is 1.6 bushels below last year and 0.1 bushel below average. The acreage of all wheat for harvest as grain totals 49.1 mill ion acres, sl ightly less than last year but 2 percent above
average.
SOYBEANS: Soybeans planted alone for all purposes in 1966 are estimated at 37.7 mill ion acres, 6 percent more than the previous record of 35.4 mill ion acres in 1965 and 33 per-
cent above the average of 28.4 mil I ion acres. Growers expect to harvest 36.9 mill ion acres, up almost 7 percent from last year and 34 percent above average.

GEORGIA FESCUE SEED PRODUCTION UP 34 PERCENT
July 14, 1966
The 1966 production of fescue seed in Georgia is forecast at 2,530,000 pounds, 34
percent above the 1965 crop of 1,890,000 pounds according to the Georgia Crop Report-
Service. The acreage harvested for seed is estimated at 11,000 compared with 9,000 last
Yield per acre of 230 pounds is 20 pounds above last season and 48 pounds above the ~4 average of 182 pounds. Weather conditions were generally favorable for seed developand the crop was harvested in most areas under very favorable conditions.
*~~*****~~**-l..~*~l-***
This year's production of tall fescue seed in nine Southern States is estimated at ~W5,000 pounds, according to the Crop Reporting Board. This is 12 percent more than the re-
d 1965 crop of 35,970,000 pounds, and 28 percent above the 1960-64 average.
Production was above 1965 in all Southern States except Arkansas and Oklahoma. In Ken-
.q, the leading tall fescue seed producer, production was 3 percent above 1965.
Atotal of 168,500 acres were harvested, compared with 166,500 acres last year and the age of 156,860 acres. Acreage cut for seed was above 1965 in Missouri, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and was the same as a year earlier in South Carolina, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. '88ge cut for seed was below 1965 in Kentucky and Arkansas.
This year's indicated yield is 240 pounds per acre compared with 216 pounds in 1965, and average of 200 pounds. In all States weather was very good at harvest time and yields led or exceeded record levels in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Harvest of this year's tall fescue seed ranged from five days earlier than last year in issippi to six days later in South Carolina, Kentucky and Oklahoma. Average beginning s of harvest were: June 26 in Missouri, June 24 in Kentucky and Arkansas, June 22 in
ssee, June 20 in Alabama and Oklahoma, June 19 in South Carolina, June 18 in Georgia and
13 in Mississippi.
Carryover of old-crop seed by growers in the 9-6tate area totaled 1,877,000 pounds, comd with last year's holding of 2,927,000 pounds. Dealers carryover for the U. S. will be ilshed in the August 3 report.
There was no tall fescue seed imported between July 1, 1965 and May 31, 1966. This coms with 6,600 pounds imported in fiscal year 1965. Export data are not available.
The forecast of the late harvest tall fescue seed crop in the Pacific Northwest will be ~ded in a report scheduled for release on August 15.

UiIJIT.. ]j STATES MILK PRODUCTION
June milk production in the United States is estimated at 11,416 million pounds, 3 per cent less than a year earlier and the smallest output for the month since 1939. On a daily
average basis, production increased about 1 percent from May to June this year, in contrast
to the usual slight decline from a seasonal peak in May. June output provided 1.93 pounds person daily, compared with 2.01 pounds a year earlier. Production averaged 778 pounds per
cow, 3 percent more than in June a year ago.
Reported condition of dairy pastures averaged 82 percent for the United States on July down 2 points from June 1 but 1 point above July 1 last year. Pasture feed was rated very
poor to droughty in large areas of the Northwest,Central Plains and Central Appalachians. Above normal temperatures after mid-June caused pastures to deteriorate rapidly, particular} in the eastern half of the country.

Cattle on Feed .!!.E. 15,000 Head
On July 1 there were 49,000 head of cattle and calves on grain feed for slaughter in Georgia. According to the Crop Reporting Service, this was 15,000 head, or 44 percent, above
the number on feed last year at this time. The July I inventory showed a seasonal decl ine of 2b percent from the previous quarter when 6~,ooo head were on feed in the State.
Grain-fed cattle sold for slaughter during the April-June quarter totaled 37,000 head. This compared with 4b,000 during the same period of 1965 and 46,000 during the January-March quarter of this year. There were 18,000 cattle and calves placed on feed during the AprilJune quarter -- 33 percent below the number placed a year ago and 50 percent below placements during the previous quarter.
Cattle feeders in Georgia had 39,000 steers, 9,000 heifers and 1,000 cows and others on
July 1. Of the 49,000 head total, 16,000 had been on feed less than 3 months, 26,000 had been on feed 3-6 months and the remaining 7,000 had been on feed more than 6 months.
Major Feeding States
Cattle Qn Feed. ~ 11 Percent
Cattle and calves on feed for slaughter market on July 1, 1966 in 32 major feeding States totaled 8,347,000 head, 11 percent more than a year earl ier. Increases were shown in the number "n feed in all weight groups.
Placements and Marketings Up
Cattle and calves placed on feed in the 32 States during April-June totaled 3,632,000 head, an increase of 6 percent from the same period in 1~65. Placements were up 11 percent in the North Central States, but down 3 percent in the Western States. Shipments of stocker
and feeder cattle into H Corn Belt States during April and May were up 28 percent from the
same period in 1965.
Marketings of fed cattle for slaughter during the second quarter totaled 4,&30,000 head -- 11 percent above the same period in 1965. Fed cattle marketings were up 14 percent in the North Central States and 2 percent in the \/estern States.
Total slaughter of steers and heifers under Federal Inspection during the April-June
quarter was up 9 percent from a year earl ier.
Marketing Int~ntlo~'
Of the July I number on feed, cattle feede:s intend to market 4,664,000 head during July, August, and September. This would be 11 percent above July-September marketings last year
from July r numbers. Expected marketings are based on the usual relationship between survey
data and actual marketings.

On January 1, Ig66 there were 819,000 cows and heifers 2 years old and older (for all purposes) on Georgia farms compared with ~31 ,000 a year earl ieI'. The ratio of calves ~orn and to be born to cows and heifers 2 years old and older is 7b percent compared with
80 percent in 1965.
UNITED STATES:
Calf Crop Decl ines 2 Percent
The 1966 calf crop for the United States is expected to total 42,263,000 head, 2 percent less than 1965. This is the first reduction from the preceding year since 1956.
Cows and heifers 2 years old and older on January 1, 1~66, at 49,243,000 head, also were 2 percent less than a year earl ieI'.
The number of calves born and to be born in 1~166, expressed as a percentage of cows and heifers 2 years old and older the first of the year, is U6 percent, the same as in 1965. This percentage is not strictly a calving rate because the January 1 inventory of cows and heifers 2 years old and older does not include all heifers that ~ive birth to calves during the year and includes some cows that die or are slaughtered before calving.
North Central States Down} Percent
All ~orth Central States show smaller calf crops this year than in 1965, ranging from a sl ight reduction in South Dakota to 7 percent decl ines in Minnesota, Michigan, and
Ohio. The East ~orth Central States are down 5 percent and the West North Central, 2
percent.
Southern States 1 Percent Lower
Most Southern States have smaller calf crops indicated, with the South Atlantic States down 2 percent and the South Central down I percent. Sl ight increases are shown for North Carol ina, Mississippi, and .A.rkansas. Florida, up 3 percent, is the only Southern State with a significant increase.
Yestern States Down Sl iqhtly
All except three Western States expect smaller calf crops than in 1965, with the
total down less than one-half percent. Indicated reductions by States range up to 5 percent
for NevadoJ and \vashingtcn. Increases shown are 2 percent for Colorado and \'/yoming and 5 percent for Montana, the largest for any State.

NUMBER of CHICKEKS RAISED - 1966
PRELIMINAB. Y ~l;STIMATES
G}~:;OHGI.A
The number of chickens raised in G~orgia in 1966 is expecte:1 to total 25,630,000, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This would be 26 percent more than the 20,341,000 raised in 1965 and 52 percent more than the 1960-1964 average of 16,872,000.
Egg type chicks hatched January-June, 1966 totaled 20,908, 000, 39 percent more than the 15,015, 000 hatched in January-June, 1965. It is expected that this years fall hatch will exceed the previous year by a much smaller amount.
Commercial broiler production is not included in these estimates.
UNITED STATES
The number of chickens raised during 1966 in the United States (50 States) is expected to total 334,731, 000 -- up 12 percent from 1965.
Compared with last year, chickens raised in 1966 are expected to increase 8 percent in the North Atlantic, 12 percent in the East North Central, 9 percent in the West North Central States. Gains of 15 percent in the South Atlantic and 16 percent in the South Central States are also expected. The West is expected to increase 7 percent over 1965.
The number of chickens to be raised in 1966 exceeds growers I earlier intentions. On February 1, egg producers indicated intentions to purchase 1 percent more replacement chicks and started pullets for their laying flocks in 1965 than in 1965. Egg-type chicks hatched January through June totaled 360,361, 000 -- up 14 percent from the comparable period in 1965. Hatchings for the remainder of the year are expected to be higher than the last half of 1965.
Pric;ls received by farmers in mid-June for eggs averaged 32.9 cents per dozen nationally -- up 10 percent over a year earlier. Peed costs this summer are above last year with egg-feed ratios becoming slightly less iavorable for producers. gg production for the first half of 1966 was more than 1 percent below the comparable period last year. The number of layers in flocks on July 1, 1966 for the United States total 284, 646,000 layers, down 1 percent from the level on the same date a year ago

Georgia Crop Reporting Service
July 28, 1966
GEOKGIA
Colonies of bees on July 1 were 200,000, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Some colonies were lost due to a severe, cold winter and wet spring, but replacement rates for lost colonies were high and this helped maintain colony numbers for this season. This number of colonies may be reduced by starvation since honey production is expected to be cut one half or more due mainly to very unfavorable weather conditions in the spring.
UN \TED STATES
Colonies of bees on July 1 in the 48 States totaled 5,510,000. Colony numbers decl ined percent for the second successive year. Sharpest reductions occurred in the North Atlantic and East North Central States where 3 percent less colonies were on hand this July I. The South Atlantic region dec1 ined 2 percent and the South Central States had a I percent reduction. Colonies of bees in the West North Central States showed a 3 percent increase while the Western States had I itt1e change from 1965.
Losses of colonies this past winter and spring averaged below a year earl ier. They were reported at 16 percent compared with 18 percent on July 1, 1965. Starvation and winter kill, along with the combination of the two, caused the greatest number of winter losses. Severe March storms in the North Central region were detrimental to colonies but much 0f the early winter season was favorable. Some beekeepers are following the practice of destroying colonies in the fall and re~lacing them with package bees in the spring.
Condition of colonies on July 1 for the 48 States averaged 84 percent of normal. This was 2 percent below a year earl ier and the lowest colony condition in recent years. Average condition of colonies was down sharply in the South Atlantic, South Central, and Western regions which more than offset sl ightly higher colony conditions in the North Atlantic and North Central States. Winter cold spells and a late, cold spring lowered colony conditions in the South Atlantic States. This was followed by hot, dry weather during June giving colonies I ittle chance to build up their honey supply. In Cal ifornia, colonies are in mostly good condition but 5 points below a year earl ier.
Condition of nectar plants for the 48 States was reported at 75 percent, compared to 80 percent on July I last year and was well below average. Plant conditions were 14 percent below a year earl ier in the South Atlantic States, 13 percent below in the Western States, and 12 percent below in the South Central region. Nectar plant conditions were 10 percent higher in the North Atlantic States and 4 percent above a year earl ier in the East North Central region. Plants throughout much of the 48 States suffered from a cold, late spring. Frost in May and June'kil led blossoms in many areas. These factors retarded the early honey flow. Warming weather in June was accompanied by dry conditions and nectar plants suffered.
In Cal ifornia, the leading honey producing State in 1965, nectar plant condition was
70 compared to ~7 last year. Minnesota, the second ranking honey producer in 1965, reported
a plant condition of 91 compared to 83 last year. While the general condition of nectar plants is down, it varies widely by States.

GEORGIA 1966 LAMB Ci~OP PLACED AT 4.000 HEAD
The 1966 lamb crop in Georgia is estimated at 4,000 head -- 1,000 below the 1965 total and 6,000 below the 1960-64 average of 10,000 lambs.
Breeding ewes 1 year and older on farms January 1, 1966 were placed at 6,000 head compared with 7,000 in 1965 and the 1960-64 average of 13,000 head.
United States Lamb Crop Off 1 Percent
The 1966 lamb crop totaled 17,297,000 head, 1 percent less thun the 17,557,000 head produced in 1965. The lamb crop in the 13 Western Sheep States (11 Western, South Dakota and Texas) was down less than one percent from the preceding year. In the 35 Native sheep States (excluding the 13 Western States and Alaska) the lamb crop was 4 percent smaller than last year.
Breeding ewes 1 year old and older on farms and ranches January 1, 1966 were 3 percent below a year earl ier, but ewe lambs under 1 year old were up 10 percent.
The lambing percentage (number of lambs saved per 100 ewes 1 year old or older on hand January 1) at 95 was up 1 point from 1965. The Western States lambing percentage, at 92, was 2 points above 1965 while the percentage for the Native States was 105, unchanged from th'e prev ious year.
WesternI States i
The 1966 lamb crop in the 13 Westernl States totaled 11,869,000 head -- down sl ightly from the 1965 crop of 11,924,000 head. The1number of breeding ewes 1 year old and older on farms and ranches January 1, 1966 was down 3 percent from 1965. Texas, the leading sheep State, with 16 percent of the Nation's lamb crop, had a lambing percentage of 83, up two percentage points from a year earl ier. The Texas lamb crop was virtually unchanged from a year earl ier because of a smaller number of ewes 1 year old and older on January 1. Colo~do, Wyoming and Arizona had larger lamb crops than during the previous year, Cal ifornia was unchanged from 1965, and all other States were below last year. The number .f early lambs (dropped before March 15) in the Western States was 3 percent higher than in 1965.
Native States
The lamb crop in the 35 Native States totaled 5,422,000 head -- down 4 percent from the 1965 crop. It was larger than 1965 in 6 States, lower in 24 States and unchanged in 5 States. The number of ewes 1 year old and older on January 1, 1966 in the Native States ~s down 4 percent from a year earl ier. The lambing percentage at 105 was unchanged from 1965.

Colonies of bees on July 1 in the United States were 5,558,000 according to t~ Crop Reporting Board. This is 1 percent below the high level of 5.600,000 ~Ionics in 1964. Increases in colony numbers this July of 2 percent in the Soutll Central States and I percent in the ~/est were more than offset by decl ines ~ 4 percent in both the North Atlantic, and East North Central States, and 2 percent in the West North Central States. In the South .\tlantic States colony numbers we re unchanged.
Losses of colonies through this past winter and s:Jring were generally heavier than the prev ious wi nter and spr ing. They averageci 10 percent for the Un i ted Statc~ as a whole compared with 15 percent a year earl ier. Severe winter temperatures along with a late spring caused heavier colony losses generally across the ~rthern half of the Nation. Conditions were more favorable in the South Atlantic ~d South Central States and losses were less than a year earlier. Replacement ' ~tes for lost colonies were high. and this helped maintain colony numbers for this ~son at levels close to the peak of the past ten years.
Condition of colonies on July 1 averaged 86 percent of normal, slightly below ~ 37 percent condition for the same date last year for the United States.
~Ionies in the South Atlantic, South Central and Western region were above last ~r in condition. This contrasted with the situation in the North Atlantic and
rth Central States where colony condition,s were generally below a year earl ier IIId reflected poor wintering, late spring and early summer drought.
Nectar plants averaged 80 percent of normal condition, 3 points above July I last year. The condition of nectar plants was 10 points below last year in the rorth Atlantic region and 6 points below in the East North Central. A large por-' tlon of these areas has suffered from dry weather this :;eason. Nectar plant mnditions were above last year in the other regions as follows: South Central
9 points, West 6 points. South Atlanti~ 5' points and West North Central 4 ints. Conditions of nectar plants in the West North Central States showed good Mwvcry this July from the dry weather prevailing last year at that time. Highest Imnditions this July were reported for South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas while I~ lowest were in Vermont. New York, New ~'rsey, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
In the three leading honey producing States last year. the condition of etar plants at the beginning of July this' year showed Cal ifornia up 16 points, Innesota up I point, and Florida up 3 points. The next two leading States showed dition 'of nectar plants down 8 points in Wiscons.in and Ohio down 14 points from list ~!ea r.

mOL PRODUCTION DOWN I PERCENT
"001 shorn and to be shorn during 1966 in the United States is estimated at 211,248,000 pounds, grease basis. At this level, wool production is I percent smaller than the 213,569,000 pounds produced in 1965. The 1966 production is equivalent to 100,765,000 pounds, clean basis, compared with 101,8]2,000 pounds for 1965, based on a ronversion factor of 47.7 percent.
Total sheep and lambs shorn and to be shorn during 1966 is estimated at 24,873,000 ~ad. This number is I percent smaller than the 25,082,000 head shorn in 1965. The average fleece weight is ~.49 pounds compared with 8.51 last year.
SLIGHT INCREASE IN \-/ESTERN CLIP
Shorn wool production in the 13 Western sheep States (II Western States, South Dakota, and Texas) is estimated at 158,290,000 pounds compared with the 1965 cl ip of 157,707,000 pounds. \4001 production is higher in 4 of the 13 States.
Sheep shorn and to be shorn in 1966 at 18,118,000 head are sl ightly above the ~,074,000 head shorn in 1965. The average fleece weight is L.74 pounds compared with the ij~ average of 6.73 pounds.
RODUCTION IN NATIVE STATES DOvlN 5 PERCENT
A wool cl ip of 52,738,000 pounds is expected in the 35 Native or "fleece" wool States (excludes 13 \'/estern States and Alaska). This is a 5 percent smaller clip than ~e 55,653,000 pounds shorn in 1965. The smaller production results from a 4 percent
cline in the number shorn and a 2 percent reduction in average fleece weights.
Compared with last year, 31 of the 35 Native sheep States show a decl ine in roduction, 2 States are unchanged, and 2 expect a larger wool cl ip than was produced In 1965.

Athens, Georg ia
August 1, 1966
~~Qli~I!
Released: August 9, 1966
The continued dry, hot weather has caused supplies of summer vegetables to be below nor-
mal for this period. Light volume of watermelons continued from northern areas. Land preparation is beginning in southern counties.
!llilJ; .!!!~.
LIMA BEANS: Production of summer lima beans is estimated at 207,000 hundredweight, 23
percent below i96g:- Harvest in southeastern, south central and northeastern
areas of North Carolina was completed during the first two weeks of July but was just starting in the southwestern area on August 1. In Georgia harvest was nearing completion by
August 1. Harvest of early planted acreage was nearing completion in Alabama by August 1. Prospects for the late acreage have been reduced by dry weather.
SNAP BEANS: The estimate of 870,000 hundredweight for ~~E snap beans is 26 percent below production last year. In the New England States, harvest has passed
the peak but moderately heavy volume is expected through August. In New York, hot weather reduced early supplies but August marketings are expected to increase. Supplies should be available until early October. Unirrigated bean fields in Pennsylvania deteriorated rapidly during July because of high temperatures and inadequate soil moisture. In Ohio, prospects were reduced by hot weather, particularly in the southeastern areas. In Illinois and Michigan high temperatures during July were detrimental to the crop. The crop in southwest Virginia has suffered from dry weather. Volume movement is expected about mid-August. The crop in North Carolina is about two weeks late. Dry weather during June in Tennessee reduced yields and hindered planting of late beans. Harvest in Alabama was practically completed by August 1. In Colorado, showers in July were beneficial to late plantings. Supplies are expected to peak about mid-August.
CABBAGE: Production of 1~~~ ~~r cabbage is estimated at 3,127,000 hundredweight, 10 percent less than last year. Cutting in Pennsylvania continues with light
volumes for local markets. In Indiana, the hot, dry weather during July delayed harvest. Heads are small. In Illinois, dry, hot weather slowed growth. Harvest in eastern Iowa is nearly completed. Cutting in the northern area should be underway shortly after August 1. In North Carolina marketings in late July were below normal. Growers are cutting many fields before they reached maximum yield. Harvest in Georgia was nearing completion on August 1. In Colorado, cutting is underway in all areas. Good supplies are expected until late September. In Washington, moderate volume is coming from the Puget Sound District. In California, moderate supplies are expected to continue from the Salinas Valley and south coastal area through the summer and fall months.
WATERMELONS: The ~l ~~~r watermelon crop of 13,868,000 hundredweight is 14 percent less than last year. In North Carolina, hot and dry weather during
July slowed growth and the crop on August 1 was nearly two weeks late. In South Carolina, shipm~nts were declining by August 1. Extremely dry weather in the Pageland-Chesterfield area has reduced production but movement is expected to continue through August. Harvest is near completion in the Barnwell-Hampton-Allendale area. Harvest is over in south Georgia and nearing completion in central areas. Moisture is needed in northern areas. In Alabama, harvest was completed in southern areas by Augu~~ 1 but continued active in central and northern areas. Late plantings are suffering from drought in most areas. In Mississippi, harvest is virtually over. In Arkansas, melons did not size well. Recent showers were helpful to later plantings. In Louisiana, harvest in the Saline area is expected to wind up before mid-August but light movement is expected to continue through September from the Farmerville area. Moisture shortage during July reduced production. Harvest in Oklahoma was active on August 1 in Jefferson and Grady counties. The crop in Major County is late but harvest was expected to start in early August. In Texas, harvest was past the peak in central and east Texas by August 1. Late plantings in north and northeast Texas will furnish supplies through September. Hot, dry weather during July caused deterioration of vines and reduced crop prospects. Arizona's harvest was nearly completed by August 1. Harvest in California is one to two weeks ahead of last year. Harvest in the Kern district was nearly completed by August 1. Good volume was available from Fresno County during the last half of July. Additional supplies were also available from Tulare, Stanislaus, and San Joaquin Counties. Peak volume is expected in early August in the San Joaquin Valley.

GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE - ATHENS, GEORGIA
GEORGIA - AUGUST 1 COTTON REPORT
August 8, 1966
Prospects on August 1 indicated a Georgia cotton crop of 380,000 bales (500-pound gross weight), according to information reported by crop correspondents to the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service. This is 183,000 bales below final production in 1965 and is the smallest production since 1871 with the exception of 1958 when 352,000 bales were harvested. Indicated lint yield
per acre of 450 pounds is below the 1965 yield of 467 pounds; but is 47 pounds above the 1960-64 average yield of 403 pounds.
Cool weather and excessive rains during the spring months made it difficult for growers to prepare land and complete planting operations on schedule. The record rainfall during May made
it impossible to carry out an effective weed and grass control program. Poor stands and weed
infestation caused a larger acreage to be abandoned than usual. Conditions have generally been favorable during June and July, and prospects have improved during the period, except in the
central and northern districts where the shortage of moisture has caused some damage. Growers have carried out an intensive insect control program, and infestation of weevils and boll worms is slightly below usual.

The 1966 U. S. pecan crop is forecast at 194.5 mill ion pounds, nearly one-fourth less than last year's crop and 7 percent below average. Larger crops are expected in Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and New Mexico, but these are more than offset by smaller
crops in the other States. Estimated production for improved varieties is 98.2 mill ion pounds, one-fifth below last year. Wild or seedl ing production is expected to total 96.3 mill ion pounds, 25 percent below 1965.
Georgia1s prospects vary widely by variety and by area. They are down 31 percent f~ the 1965 crop. Poll ination was hampered by the wet, cold spring. Stuart prospects are po~
in the Albany area. Schley and other scab susceptible varieties that were not sprayed had heavy losses because of heavy rains and high humidity in May. Georgia's central and northe areas suffered from low moisture and high temperatures in July. In South Carol ina, frost at time of budding reduced the set, and some damage is reported from insects and diseases. T~ Alabama crop shows a good set. Spray programs have been effective and very 1 ight damage hM been reported from scab or casebearers.
Prospects in Texas are poor in most areas. In many sections heavy rains during pollination resulted in a poor set. Casebearer infestation occurred over a longer period of ti. than usual and control spraying was difficult. In Louisiana, moisture has generally been adequate and a better than average crop is in prospect except in the Delta. Oklahoma growers ~Rect abou~ an average crop. Insect activity and lack of moisture have hampered development.' Arkans'as expects a small crop due to a I ight set and dry weather. A betterll than average crop is forecast for New Mexico, where set is fairly heavy after last year's 1ight crop.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended August 20 was 9,079,000 -- 2 percent more than in the previous week and 15 percent more than in
the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 12, 780, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries -the same as in the previous week and 19 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 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 67 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. 50 to $11. 00 with an average of $10.50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 62 cents for eggs and $9.50 for chic~s.

THE POULTRY AND EGG SITUATION
Approved by the Outlook and Situation Board, August 25, 1966 SITUATION AND OUTLOOK (BROILERS)
Prices Well Maintained
U. S. live broiler prices averaged 16.4 cents in January-July compared with 15.3 cents a year earlier. Prices for that period have not been this high since 1960. In July the price stood at 16. 1 cents per pound, the same as in June and 0.6 cents above July 1965. Delivered prices to first receivers for Plant Grade A broilers in Chicago in the week beginning August 21 averaged 27.8 cents per pound, 1.7 cents above a year earlier. Higher prices in the face of substantially larger supplies have stemmed from a vigorous expansion in demand for all high-protein foods, by both civilians and the Armed Services. The increase in civilian demand has been due mainly to rapid expansion in employment and in consumer incomes, together with reduced supplies of meats and other animal proteins.
Further growth in economic activity in the coming months is expected to sustain the expansion in overall demand for animal products. However, supplies of many of these products, particuarly broilers, turkeys, pork, and eggs, will be above the yearearlier levels over the next several months and probably well into 1967. Supplies during this period will likely increase more rapidly than demand. In addition, with higher meat prices consumers have shifted to poultry to economize during a period of generally rising food prices. When pork and some other livestock products be come more plentiful this winter and next spring, consumers may be willing to continue to buy much larger quantities of broilers than a year earlier only at relatively low price s.
Consequently, broiler prices are expected to decline below current levels over the next several months. Live broiler prices in the fourth quarter may average close to the 14.5 cents in October-December 1965. Little or no recovery from this level seems in prospect for early 1967. Therefore, early next year, broiler prices probably will average below a year earlier.
Output to Accelerate
Broiler production during the 12 months ended June 30 increased at an average annual rate of about 10 percent or about 3 times as fast as in the preceding 2 years. Some further sharp stepup in the rate of expansion appears likely beginning late this year or early in 1967. An unusually long and persistent uptrend in broiler prices has increased profits and has provided both incentive and capital for the acceleration in production. Farm broiler prices through July were equal to or above year-earlier prices for 24 consecutive months. In August 1965-July 1966, they averaged 15.6 cents per pound, 7 percent above the same period 2 year earlier.
In the 33 weeks through August 17, ZederallY inspected plants slaughtered 1,402 million broilers, 7 1/2 percent more than a year earlier. Chick placements and egg
seUings for broiler production in 23 States in the 13 weeks ending August 20 indicate
that output will continue to run about a tenth above the 1965 level through October. However,
broiler firms now are rapidly enlarging hatchery supply flocks, a step which will commit ,
the industry to even more rapid expansion this winter and next spring.
The number of pullet chicks placed for broiler hatchery supply flocks have been
above a year earlier each month since last summer and in May-July wp.J.e. up 22 percent. This large buildup in broiler parent stock means that broiler hatching .e;1Jg~;~ppl>i.es.y.rill be much more plentiful early next year. ~urrently, the size of the Nation I s b'~o'i'l'EN::
breeder f~ock is about 10 percent larger than a year earlier, but by ef-rlY'~/l967 it wi~l
likely be up about 20 percent.
...

f'
Broiler production early in 1967 will increase somewhat less than the'numl:l'er of
hatching eggs. During that period, the profitability of broiler production is expected to
be sharply reduced by lower prices for broilers and higher prices for feed. Under such
conditions, broiler firms would tend to set only the higher quality hatching eggs and keep
Bocks in production for less than the usual 8 to 9 months. However, once resources have
been committed for production, there is relatively little inc.entive for reducing output much
below planned levels over the short run. Consequently, broiler production through the
first half of 1967 could rise even more rapidly than in recent months, even in the face of
falling broiler prices and higher feed costs than a year earlier.
.
(OVER)
The situation clearly calls for caution in production planning. The duration and severity of an adjustment will depend on how quickly the broiler industry responds to arrest growth in capacity. The market next cummer would not likely absorb a possible increase of as much as 10 to 15 percent more broilers from a year earlier except at prices considerably below recent levels. Adjustments in potential for next summer s production will be reflected in pullet chick placements for hatchery supply flocks over the next few months.
Exports Rise
U. S. Broiler exports in the first half of 1966 totaled 42. 8 million pounds compare with 32.9 million in January-June 1965. Most of the increase occurred during the first 2 months; last year the maritime strike restricted deliveries to foreign markets in January and February. Exports to the European Common Market (mostly West Germany) accounted for 27 percent of January- June exports compared with 31 percent in the first half last year. The United States has exported mostly chickEn parts to the Common Market over the last year or so. High EEC variable levies have almost eliminated U. S. exports of whole broilers to Common Market countries.
Changes since June in the EECs Common Agricultural Policy has resulted in slightly lower levies on broiler parts. Total levies on U. S. parts other than backs and necks exported to West Germany were reduced about 5 percent. Changes in the total levies on whole birds were mixed. Thus, there could be some rise in exports to West Germany as prices decline in coming months.
USDA Enters Market
The U. S. Department of Agriculture began to purchase cutup young chickens for schools participating in the National School lunch Program on August 19, about a month earlier than in 1965. The Department first purchased cutup young chickens in 1961 to introduce the product to managers of school cafeteries. Response to the initial purchases was so enthusiastic that purchases have been made each year since then. Quantities contracted for have varies from 37.3 million pounds (ready-to-cook basis) in 1965 to 60.0 million in 1962. In 1965, purchases were equivalent to about 1/2 percent of total broiler production. However, purchases were equivalent to 2 percent of production during the weeks in which the program operated. During the first 2 weeks of this year IS program, purchases totaled 4.9 million pounds.
Prices Rise
Poultry feed prices have been nSlng sharply in recent months. The cost of poultry ration (a composite of prices for home-grown grains and manufactured feed) which averaged $3. 50 per 100 pounds in the first 6 months of 1966 or 6 cents above a year earlier, advanced to $3.66 in July or to 19 cents above a year earlier. The rise in cost of poultry feed reflects rising prices for corn and soybean meal. These 2 ingredients make up the bulk of most poultry rations. Since ingredients costs have continued to rise, ration costs probably increased further in August.
Corn prices received by U. S. farmers rose 8 cents in July to $1. 27 per bushel, 5 cents higher than a year earlier and the highest for that month in 10 years. Between mid-July and late August the price of No. 2 yellow corn in Chicago rose about 10 cents per bushel. Monthly farm prices prior to July had bee... below corresponding prices in the first half of 1965. The smaller corn and total feed grain crops indicated on August 1, together with prospect for higher domestic use and export, likely will keep corn prices this fall and winter somewhat above a year earlier.
Prices for soybean meal have been increasing rapidly since spring. The price for 44-percent protein meal at Decatur advanced from $71. 50 per ton in March to $97.20 in July. The July meal price was $22.80 above July 1965. By mid-Auguct meal prices had risen to $100 per ton. Demand for soybeans likely will continue strong in 1966-67 because of the prospect for increased hog and poultry production and continued strength in export demand. On the othe r hand, no appreciable increase in supply is yet in prospect. Conditions as of August 1, indicated only a 2-percent increase in the soybean crop this year, Hence, soybean and soybean meal prices likely will continue to exceed year-earlier levels at least through early 1967.
The outlook for feed supplies and prices will be importantly influenced by crop developments over the next few months.

PEANUT HARVEST IN FULL SWING
Athens, Ga., August 29 -- Georgia peanut harvest showed excellent progress during
the week as weather was near ideal in most of the commercial belt. At the close of the
~ek nearly a third of the acreage had been dug, according to the Crop ReportIng Service.
Preparations for cotton harvest continued, according to County Agents' reports. A limited acreage in the south has been harvested by hand but most growers were active with late-season insect control and defol iating early fields.
Final tobacco croppings were made in most areas. A few fields of Q!n were har-
vested during the week in the extreme south.
~
I"
Haying and silage making were very active statewide except in scattered areas where showers hampered field operations.
Soybeans were in mostly good condition but were needing additional rain. In the ~avy producing areas farmers were active with insect and disease control.
The State's pecan crop was generally in fair condition. Apple harvest in north Georgia was making good progress.
Land preparation for fall planting moved ahead in practically all areas.
WEATHER SUMMARY - Georgia rainfall was highly variable during the week ending Friday, ~9ust 26. Some heavy amounts were reported in the southeast and extreme north, but most of the remainder of the State received only I ight showers or none at all. Most weather observers in the southcentral and southwest sections measured no rain during the week. More than three inches fell at Toccoa for the largest reported weekly total. Very little rain
fell anywhere in the State during the weekend.
It was hot at the beginning of the past week but a cool front brought more pleasant ~ather after Tuesday. Daytime temperatures were in the low and mid-eighties during most of the week and early morning readings were mvstly in the sixties. Several north Georgia ~servers recorded minimum temperatures in the fifties after the front m~ved through early In the week. Averages for the week ranged from one t~ five degrees below seasonal normals.
The five day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (August 30-September 3) ~Ils for temperatures to average near normal, with I ittle day to day change. Normal highs ~nge from 86 to 91 degrees and normal lows from 63 to 71. Rainfall Is expected to be light to moderate, ranging from one-half inch in the nurth to one Inch in the south. The rain will ~cur as widely scattered afternoon or evening thundershuwers, mainly during the latter half of the period.

CASH R8CEIPTS FROM FARM IvIARKETING UP 89 MILLION DOLLARS IN 1965
August 30, 1966
Income from jarm marketing in Georgia amounted to 0995,632,000 in 1965, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is a record high for the State and exceeds the 1964
total by 89 millicn dollars. Livestock and livestock products accounted for $520,662,000 and
55 percent of the total. Receipts from all crops were $424,869,000 and Government payments
amounted to $50,101,000.
Commercial b10ilers were number one with marketings of $198,566,000. Eggs ranked second with a value of $123,439,000 followed by peanuts with 1;101,338,000, cotton with ~88,831,000, and tobacco with $79,041,000. Cash receipts were up for most commodities; peaches, cotton, and
turkeys were the exceptions.
Pecans had the largest percentage increase with 214 percent. Soybeans were up 32 percent, and cattle and calves had a gain of 23 percent. Value of the peach crop was down 23 percent due to the very unfavorable weather during the marketing season. Ootton was off 13 percent, and turkeys hpd a reduction of 8 percent.

GEORGIA 1966 TURKEY PRODUCTION UP 32 PERCENT
August 30, 1966
Georgia: The 1966 turkey production in Georgia is expected to be 1,654,000 head compared ------- with 1,251,000 in 1965 - or an increasQ of 32 percent - according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Heavy breeds are up 378,000 birds while the light breeds have an increase of 25,000 head.
UNITED STATES TURKEY CRCP lARGER THAN LAST YEAR
~d States: Turkeys raised in 1966 are expected to total 115.8 million birds, 11 percent above last year's crop and 7 percent above the record year of 1961,
according to the Crop Reporting Board. The number of heavy white turkeys being raised is up 33 percent, light breeds are up 8 percent, but bronze and other heavy breeds are down 13 percent. An increase in production of turkeys is expected in all regions of the country.
The number of heavy breed turkeys raised in 1966 is expected to total 102.9 million compared with 92.8 million last year. The heavy white turkey crop of 63.6 million is 62 percent of all heavies compared with 51 percent last year.
The number of other heavy breed turkeys raised this year is expected to total 39.3 million birds, 13 percent below the 45.0 million raised in 1965. Decreases are 30 percent in the South Central, 26 percent in the East North Central, 17 percent in the West North Central, and 12 percent in the South Atlantic. There was a 10 percent increase in the North Atlantic and a 1 percent increase in the West.
Number of light breed turkeys raised totaled 12.9 million compared with 12.0 million in 1965. Increases in light breed production are expected in all regions except the West which is down 30 percent and the North Atlantic which is unchanged.
California, the leading turkey producing State this year, will raise 17.0 million birds; followed by Minnesota with 16.6; Missouri, 10.2; Iowa, 7.6; Texas and Arkansas, 6.4 each; North Carolina, 5.9; Wisconsin, 5.7; and Virginia, 5.5.
Turkey poults hatched September 1965 through July 1966 were 11 percent more than in corresponding period the previous year. Compared with a year earlier, increases occurred in all months with the largest percentage increases occurring from August 1965 through February 1966. The number of heavy breed eggs in incubators on August 1 was down 12 percent from a year earlier. The number of light breed eggs in incubators was up 6 percent from August 1 last year. Prices received by producers for live turkeys during January through April were above the same months in 1965, but have been below a year earlier each month since April.

GEORGIA PRICES RECEIVED INDEX 9 POINTS LOWER
Il The Index of Prices Received by Georgia farmers for all commodities decl ined 9 points from a month ago to 255. This was 6 points below August 15, 1965.
.
Grains, soybeans, tobacco, and sweet potato prices were higher than a month ago, but
this was more than offset by the decl ine in cotton prices toward the support level for the new
~ crop." The All Crops Index at 259 was 16 points below a month ago and 17 points below a year
~ ago.
The Index of Prices Received for 1ivestock and 1ivestock products increased 2 points
from a month ago to 241. Higher prices for hogs, milk and eggs contributed most to the InII crease. Lower prices for broilers were partially offsetting.

PEANUT HARVEST OVER HALFWAY MARK
Athens, Ga., September 6 -- Peanut harvesting made good progress during the week as
weather conditions were near ideal. At the end of the week, over 60 percent of the crop had
been dug while over 50 percent had been threshed, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting
Service.
Cotton harvesting gained momentum in the southern counties according to County Agents reports. A few bales have been picked by hand in the north Georgia area. Much of the activities in cotton, however, consisted of defol iation and late-season insect control.
The hot, dry weather conditions prevail ing during the week allowed for rapid maturing of the QLD crop. Harvesting is now on a 1 imited scale, but preparation of equipment and storage fac iIi ties .was_ act ivee
Haying and silage making continued very active as most areas had ideal harvesting conditions.
Soybeans are mostly in good condition. However, much of the producing area is now experiencing a soil moisture shortage which could lower yields. Farmers continued active with their insect and disease control operations.
Apple harvest made good progress during the week. The pecan crop remained in generally fair condition.
Pastures are generally in need of rain. Fall planting barely got underway as most farmers are now waiting for rain.
WEATHER SUMMARY - There was very 1ittle rainfall in Georgia during the week ending Friday, September 2. Light, isolated showers brought small amounts to parts of the northwest and southwest, but most of the State had no measurable rain during the week. For some areas, especially the south central section, this was the second straight week without measurable rain. Shower activity increased sl ightly during the weekend but amounts were generally 1 ight and many areas were missed.
Temperatures averaged near to sl ightly above normal for the week. Days were warm throughout the week but nights were generally mild. Afternoon highs reached the mid-nineties in many areas near the end of the week. The State experienced its first temperature below 500 since spring with a reading of 490 at Blairsville early in the week.
August rainfall showed large variations over the State, with big differences in totals reported in adjacent counties. Divisional averages were above normal except in the south central and southeast. This was a reversal of the July rainfall pattern. Totals for the year continue above normal in most areas. August temperatures were cooler than normal.
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (Sept. 6 - 10) calls for temperatures to average 2 to 50 below normal with mild to warm temperatures through the week.
Rainfall is expected to average k to ~ inch and occur as scattered afternoon thundershowers
mainly the latter part of the week.

GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE - ATHENS, GEORGIA
Athens, Georgia
GEORGIA COTTON REPORT AS OF SEPTEMBER 1, 1966
September 8, 1966
Georgia's 1966 cotton crop is forecast at 355,000 bales,based on information reported by
crop correspondents as of September 1, the Georgia Crop Reporting Service said today. This is
25,000 bales below the August 1 estimate and 208,000 below total production in 1965. The fiveyear (1960-64) average production is 555,000 bales. Indicated lint yield of 421 pounds is below the 467 pounds in 1965, but 18 pounds above the five-year average of 403 pounds.
Frequent rains during the first half of August made it difficult for growers to carry out an effective insect control program, and infestations of weevils and boll worms increased. Since mid-August rainfall has been light in most areas, and temperatures have been above normal most of the time. The crop is maturing rapidly, and harvest is becoming active in South Georgia. The lack of soil moisture is reducing yield prospects from late cotton in northern areas.
The Bureau of Census reported 6,771 running bales ginned prior to September 1 compared with 36,812 to the same date in 1965 and 17,951 in 1964.

September 1, 1966 GEORGIA
Athens, Georgia
Released: September 9, 1966
Only alight volume of summer produced vegetables remain for harvest. Dry, hot weather delayed l.nd preparation and planting and has lowered production prospects for fall vegetables.
UNITEQ STATES
LIMA BEANS: Production of summer 1 ima beans, at 218,000 hundredweight is 19 percent below 1965 and 31 percent below the 1960-64 average. In New Jersey, good
volume is expected through September. On Long Island, New York, early yields have been 1 ight but suppl ies should be available from this and Upstate areas until early October. The Maryland harvest has tapered off but suppl ies will continue until frost. Scattered showers during August were beneficial to the late acreage. In North Carol ina, harvest is completed in the major producing northeastern area but small suppl ies will be available from other areas until frost. Only 1 ight volume remains for harvest in Georgia. The Alabama harvest was nearly completed by early September with only late plantings remaining. Drought-reI ieving rains in early August were beneficial to the late planted acreage.
SNAP BEANS: The summer snap bean crop is estimated at 946,000 hundredweight, 20 percent below 1965. In New England, dry weather during August, especially in Con-
necticutt, was unfavorable for crop development. In New York, about one-third of the acreage remained to be harvested on September 1. All areas should have suppl ies until frost. A large volume of improved qual ity was moving to market from Pennsylvania following August rains which brought much needed moisture to the late plantings. Harvesting was at its peak by early September in Ohio. A good crop is in prospect in the north central area for September harvest. Prospects in 11 I inois continue below last year. In Michigan, moderate rains and absence of extreme heat during August improved yields. August rains in southwest Virginia were beneficial for late planted acreage. Yield prospects for the North Carol ina crop improved during August. Mid-season plantings turned out good yields and late plantings are in excellent condition. In Georgia, excessive rains around mid-August caused considerable damage to some late plantings. General rains and below normal temperatures in Tennessee improved growing conditions during August. However, harvesting was hampered in some areas by too much rain. The Alabama harvest was virtually completed by September 1. Harvest was at peak volume in Colorado by late August. Extreme heat during July in the northern area and lack of rain has lowered prospects for late season supp 1i es.
CUCUMBERS: Production of early fall cucumbers is forecast at 739,000 hundredweight, 4 percent below last year but 14 percent above average. Prospects in Virginia
are favorable as vines are generally well developed. Harvest on the Eastern Shore is expected to peak about mid-September. In South Carol ina, harvest is expected to begin around midSeptember. Dry, hot weather in Georgia lowered production prospects. The crop was in generally excellent condition in Louisiana. Picking began in some areas about September 1 and was expected to be underway in all areas by mid-September. Volume movement is expected about October 1. In Texas, harvest was underway during August on the High Plains. Picking started around September 1 in the San Antonio area but no appreciable volume will be available until late September. Suppl ies are expected from the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, and Coastal Bend areas during the latter part of October. In Cal ifornia, suppl ies are moving in good volume from south coast areas, with some marketing also available from the Fremont district of Alameda County. Movement should continue heavy in September, but decl ine seasonally afterward.

PECAN REPORT AS OF SEPTEMBER I, 1966
Georqia: The 1966 production of pecans in Georgia is forecast at 42,000,000 pounds, according to the Crop Reporting Service. Production at this level would be 19 .
mill ion pounds or 31 percent below the 1965 crop of 61,000,000 pounds. The estimated production of improved varieties is placed at 35,000,000 and the seedl ing crop is forecast at 7,000,000 pounds.
Grower reports and field observations continue to show a wide variation in crop prospects. Heavy rains during early August in the major producing counties of southwest
Georgia caused some increase in disease and insect infestation. Fol iage has also been seriously damaged in some areas by disease and dry weather.
Generally, shedding has been very heavy in the unsprayed orchards. Stuarts have set a I ight crop but Schleys and most other scab-susceptible varieties that have been sprayed will have a good crop. However, only a smal I percentage of growers have carried out an effective spray program. The seed1 ing crop is I ighter than normal in most sections of the State.

The 1966 pecan crop is forecast at 198 mill ion pounds, 21 percent under last year and 5 percent less than average. Estimated production is about equally divided between improved varieties and wild or seedl ing pecans. Crops sharply below last year are forecast for Texas, Georgia, and Oklahoma. Also in the Carol inas, production is expected to be less than last year and in Arkansas a crop about half the size of 1965 is forecast. Prospects are for a sir nificantly larger crops in Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida. A crop larger than last year is also forecast for New Mexico.
In Alabama, rain during August will be beneficial for sizing and fill ing nuts. Missi~ sippi1s crop is in fair condition. Favorable weather during August improved prospects in Arkansas and Louisiana. In Oklahoma, rain during August is expected to increase nut size. Over most of Texas, prospects are generally poor. The set of nuts is I ight in most areas of the State.

On September 1, harvest of Georgiats major crops was on the increase, but progress was generally later than normal. Cotton picking was becoming active in South Georgia, but barely started in the North. Peanut picking and threshing were moving forward very rapidly, and early corn harvest was getting underway in the South.
Q~!2 Xie12. 41 ~~~h~1~: The estimated 1966 corn yield is placed at 41 bushels - 10 bushels
lesa than last year. At this level, total production would be 60,434,000 bushels.
Cotton Production Down Sharplv: Production of cotton is forecast at 355,000 bales compared ------ ---------- ---- ------- with 563,000 last ye~r- down 208,000 bales. A sharp drop in acreage for harvest accounts for most of the production decline, but yield of lint cotton per acre is also below a year ago.
!E~ !:Edu~~!! ~E: Production of Type 14 toba"~co is forecast at 96,720,000 pounds, compared with 112,134,000 p0J.nds in 19~,5.
Peanuts Improve: Peanut conditions improved during August, and production was indicated at ------- ------- 824,550,000 pounds. Last year a crop of 897,250,000 pounds was realized.
Yield per acre was indicated to be 1,725 pounds compared with the 1,850 pounds harvested last year.
2YE~!! !:rod~:HE!2 Up: The Statets soybean crop is forecast at 5,018,000 bushels compared with 3,444,000 in 1965. Both acreage and yield are estimated
above last yearts levels.
Pecan Crop Short: A pecan crop of 42,000,000 pounds is in prospect for 1966. This com----- ---- ----- pares with last yearts crop of 61,000,000 and the all-time high of 114,000,000 pounds in 1963.
Milk production on Georgia Farms during August totaled 85 million pounds - 2 percent less than produced last month and a year ago. ~g production during August totaled 323 million eggs compared with 303 million during August 1965.

HARVESTING ACTIVITIES INCREASING
Athens, Ga., September 12 -- The State experienced near ideal harvesting weather con-
ditions during the week and good progress was made with peanuts, cotton, and corn, according
to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. Most of the State is now experiencing soil moisture
deficiencies with the exception of a few southern and southeastern counties.
I
Over 80 percent of the peanut crop had been dug while nearly 70 percent had been threshed by the end of the week, according to County Agents' reports. A few scattered showers in isolated areas temporarily interrupted harvesting activities but most of the producing area is still in need of rain.
Cotton harvesting was progres~ing well following a later-than-normal start. Dr~, 'hot weather is causing rapid maturing and harvesting is expected to be in full swing within the next two weeks. The soil moisture shortage in northern areas is expected to reduce late rotton yield prospects.
Corn harvesting in southern areas gained momentum. The crop in central and northern areas is maturing rapidly.
The soybean crop remained in fair to good condition. However, yield prospects have
been lowered in many areas as the continuing dry weather has caused considerable damage in
~ny fields.
)
L
Planting of the fall small grain acreage has been delayed as most farmers are waiting
) for rain before seeding. ~ making continued active but is losing precedence to harvest of
) the major cash crops. Pastures are in need of rain.
)
)
The apple harvest in north Georgia is progressing well and qual ity is reportedly
I good. The pecan crop remained in generally fair condition.
WEATHER SUMMARY - Showers occurred over much of Georgia during the week ending Friday, September 9. They were more frequent and heavier in the southern half of the State and in the extreme northwest. Parts of the previously dry south central section received nearly two inches of rain during the week, as the showers were fairly general in that area. Most of northeast Georgia, and other scattered areas throughout the State, were missed by the showers and continued very dry at the end of the week. Many places in these areas have had no measurable rain in more than three weeks.
The pattern of warm days and mild to cool nights continued throughout the week. Afternoon highs were in the low nineties over most of the State early in the week but showed a seasonal drop to the mid-eighties by the weekend. Early morning lows dropped to the fifties in most areas late in the week. Several observers reported a new record low for the date on the 10th. Averages for the week ranged from near normal in the southwest to three degrees below normal in the Macon and Augusta areas.
The five-day forecast for the period Tuesday through Saturday (Sept. 13-17) calls for
temperatures to average near normal with no important changes ind~"~~._ Normal highs for
mid-September range from 85 to 890 and normal lows from 63 to 690 '1.;1,\Rt:t,jJlfil(~~expected to

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended September 10 was 8,762,000 -- 1 percent less than in the previous week but 20 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 12,342,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries -- 1 percent less than in the previous week but 17 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 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 67 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. 50 to $11. 00 with an average of $10. 50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 62 cents for eggs and $9. 50 for chicks.

GEORGIA COTTON PRODUCTION AS OF OCTOBER 1, 1966
October 10, 1966
Cotton prospects for Georgia as of October 1 were for a production of 335,000 bales (500 Ths. gross weight), according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. The estimate is 20,000 .bales below the September 1 estimate and 228,000 bales below the 1965 crop. Indicated lint yield fier acre of 397 is 70 pounds below last season.

GEORGIA HeNEY PRODUCTION DOWN SHARPLY
Georgia's 1966 honey production is estimated at 4,400,000 pounds -- 58 percent below last year's production of 7,600,000 pounds. The number of colonies on hand July 1 totaled 200,000 no change from a year ago. Yield per colony of 22 pounds was down sharply from the 38 pound average last year, due mainly to unfavorable weather conditions during the main nectar flow.
UNITED STATES HONEY PRODUCTION ABOVE AVERAGE
The 1966 honey crop is expected to total 285 million pounds. This is 3 percent above both 1965 and the 1960-64 average. Yield is expected to average 51.7 pounds per colony compared with
the yield of 50.0 last year and the 5-year average of 50.4 pounds. The estimated production is based on 5,510,000 colonies on hand July 1, 1966, a decline of 1 percent from the number of colonies in 1965.
Although the U. S. average yield is above average, it fluctuated sharply by regions and even by States within regions. The North Atlantic region averaged 43.6 pounds compared with 35.7 pounds in 1965. Yields increased from 53.8 to 63.7 in the East North Central and from 78.2 to 89.8 in the West North Central. Yields declined from 36.6 to 32.6 in the South Atlantic region. The South Central region had about the same average yield as in 1965. The Western region averaged 50.0 compared with 57.2 last year. California averaged only 36 pounds per colony compared with 62 pounds last year.
~
Honey production was down sharply from last year in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia as a cold and wet spring was followed by a hot and dry summer. In many areas in this region honey production was the poorest in several years. In contrast, production was well above last year in the North Atlantic and North Central States. In these 21 States production was below last year in only Rhode Island, New Jersey, Ohio, and Kansas.
California, with the greatest number of colonies of any State in the Nation, had a yield and production well below 1965 and the 1960-64 average. Very hot and dry conditions during July and August reduced nectar sources resulting in below average honey production.
Stocks of honey for sale by producers on September 15 totaled 93,443,000 pounds compared with 100,360,000 pounds a year earlier. This year's stocks of honey, in the hands of the pro~ducers, were 33 percent of production compared with 36 percent last year.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended October 8 was 8,998, 000 - - 3 percent more than in the previous week and 22 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 11, 733, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries 1 percent more than in the previous week and 10 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 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 65 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 61 cents for eggs and $9.25 for chicks.

PECAN REPORT AS OF OCTOBER I, 1966
GEORGIA: The 1966 production of pecans in Georgia is expected to be 40,000,000 pounds based on prospects as of October I. This level is 2,000,000 pounds below the estimate
, on September I. Prospects vary widely as some areas have a good crop and others report very few or none.
UNITED STATES: The October I forecast of pecan production at 189.8 mill ion pounds is down
.
4 percent from last month, 24 percent below a year ago and 9 percent less
than average. During the past month prospects decl ined in Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, South
Carol ina, and North Carol ina, but improved in Louisiana. Production of improved varieties is
estimated at 92.6 mill ion pounds, 25 percent less than last year and 12 percent below average.
\~ild and seedl ing varieties are expected to total 97.2 mill ion pounds, 24 percent below last
year's production and 7 percent less than average.
Scab and mildew caused some trouble in most Southeastern States. September rains hampered spray programs but aided the nuts in fill ing. Prospects vary widely between areas and varieties. In both North Carol ina and South Carol ina the early nut drop was heavy. In Georgia, the Cordele area has a very 1 ight crop. In other areas, prospects are generally good for groves that have been fertil ized and sprayed. Nut droppage has been I ight in Alabama. In Mississippi nuts are smaller than normal for this time of year. In Louisiana, prospects are very good in the central area and fair to good in most other areas. Seedl ing pecans are beginning to fall and harvest is expected to become active in mid-October. Droppage has been heavy in Oklahoma due to insects and scab. The cool, damp weather has favored insect activity and reduced the effectiveness of spraying. On the Edwards Plateau in Texas some early varieties have been harvested, with yields below last year. In most areas of the State, the nuts are just beginning to open.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended October 15 was 8,775,000--2 percent less than in the previous week but 14 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 11, 277, 000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries -4 percent less than in the previous week but 6 percent more than in the comparable week a year earlier.
The omajority of the prices paid to Georgia producers for broiler hatching eggs were reported within a range of 60 to 75 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 65 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 $10.00 per hundred. The average prices last year were 60 cents for eggs and $9.00 for chicks.

THE POULTRY AND~GG SITUATION
Approved by the Outlook and Situation Board, October 26, 1966 SITUATION AND OUTLOOK (BROILEHS)
BROILERS: Recent Situation
Broiler production in 1966 is expanding for the 20th consecutive year. Output is likely to reach 2.5 billion birds this year--12p from 2.3 billion in 1965. The increase this year will be about 8 percent--about the same as in 1965, but twice as large as in 1963 and 1964. Production in liveweight rose 35 percent between 1960 and 1965, compared with 80 percent in the preceding 5 years.
Demand Increases: Faster growth in output during the past 2 years results from vigorous expansion in demand for poultry. A pick-up in demand for broilers first became evident after mid-1964. Live broiler price s in 1964 rose from 13.8 cents per pound in the second quarter to 14.7 cents in the third quarter--from about 1 cent below to about 1/2 cent above a year earlier. After that and except for some weakness in the fall of 1965 prices continued above a year earlier until October 1966. Prices registered an unusually large rise during the first quarter of 1965 with the sharp reduction in pork production. The rapid expansion in economic activity reduced unemployment, generated larger consumer incomes and sustained the uptrend in broiler demand and prices. Even though federally certified slaughter of young chickens increased at a rate of 9 percent between mid-1965 and mid-1966, live broiler prices averaged 15.6 cents per pound during this period--. 8 cent above a year earlier. Broiler prices, however, weakened progressively after reaching a peak of 16.7 cents per pound in the first quarter of 1966. This occurred as broiler and turkey production continued to expand rapidly and as pork production began to turn up. In September, the live price averaged 14.8 cents; this was still. 3 cent above the 1965 level. But in the third week in October, ready-to-cook broilers in Chicago were quoted at 23.6 cents per pound--down about 3 1/2 cents from mid-September and down about 2 cents from a year earlier. ..l.:.'...or all of 1966, the live broiler price is likely to average about 15.6 cents per pound" compared with 15.0 cents in 1965J
T he strength in broiler price s in mid-1964 emerged just as a cyclical contraction in the Nation's broiler hatching egg supply flock was getting underway. Despite reductions in new layer s entering hatching flocks between mid-1964 and mid-1965, broiler firms were able to expand production about 3 percent abOVe a year earlier by keepir.g flocks in lay longer than usual and by incubating smaller and lower-quality hatching eggs. This is the only way that the broiler industry can increase production in the shortrun in response to an unexpected upsurge in demand. It is quicker but more costly than rebuilding hatching egg supply flocks which requires at least 7 months to get underway.
By mid-1965, the number of layers in broiler hatchery supply flocks was beginning to expand cyclically. This permitted broiler production in the second half of 1965 to increase about 10 percent from a year earlier. Compared with 1964, the indicated size of the Nation's hatchery supply in 1965 moved from about 6 percent smaller in June to about 10 percent larger in December. In 1966, broiler production will rise about 8 percent from 1965 compared with a 10 percent increase in the indicated size of the broiler hatching egg supply flock.
BROILERS: Outlook for 1967 Output to Continue Above a Year Earlier
1967 broiler production is expected to post another sizable gain in 1967. The increase could be as large as in 1965 and 1966--or 5 to 10 percent. Broiler production in December 1966 would be up from December 1965 more than a tenth if slaughter parallels recent increases in hatchery activity.
Early in 1967 broiler production may be maintained around 10 percent above a year earlier by the large expansion currently underway in the Nation's broiler hatching egg supply flock. The flock which was probably about;.~enth larger than a year earlier in recent months is expected to be up 15 to 20 pex-c6t in t.he early months of 1967.
But as the year progresses, ~.wer broiler prices and higher production and
;w~lll'iarrow, t~ processing cost, especially higher fe d costs, are expecte to slow down expansion in
broilers. Even though profit margins likely
downward adjustment in
production may be gradual.
'j'J'O
<! ~~
~.~
Once broiler firms have enlarge~~1')i1~~l!Uctionpotential--especially the number of broiler breeders- -they tend to mainta . . iChing egg and broiler production as long as
( VER)
broiler prices at least cover variable costs. For a completely integrated firm, this may mean making only marginal downward adjustments in production- - even if the price live broilers should drop as much as 2 cents per pound below the total cost of production, Firms tend to maintain production at close to capacity levels because this practice usually minimizes total losses, and because firms are reluctant to cutback and take the risk of losing their market outlets and their better growers which may be costly to regain. Cutbacks in production are first made by selling breeder flocks somewhat earlier than usual and by applying stricter standards to eggs used for hatching. The firms cutting back the most in the early stages of a contraction in production will be those which have anticipated and prepared for the unprofitable period, or those which are in the weakest financial position. These latter firms frequently are unable to secure additional credit and must adjust expenditures, and therefore production, downward as cash receipts from marketings fall.
In 1961, the broiler industry went through a period similar to the one that appears in prospect for 1967. Broiler production in 1961 increased rapidly in the early part of the year and U. S. farm broiler prices dropped from 17.6 cents per pound in February to 11. 8 cents in September. In the period June through November 1961, the farm price averaged 12.3 cents per pound--down 4.2 cents from a year earlier. Prices in coming months, however, are not likely to remain as low as in the second half of 1961 for an extended period because production and marketings costs are higher now.
However, it is important to note that broiler production now is in stronger hands than it was in 1961. Much of the broiler industry today is controlled by well-financed and highly diversified firms which have the resources to weather economic storms. In addition, 2 years of rising broiler prices have placed even smaller firms and firms :specializing in broilers in a stronger position to ride out a prolonged period of relatively unprofitable prices. As a result, it appears likely that the downward adjustment in rate of broiler production in coming months may be more gradual than in 1961. Despite reduced returns to broiler firms, incomes of contract growers may be at least maintained at current levels due to the tight labor situation.
Price Weakness Expected: Demand for broilers in the first half of 1967 may continue weaker than a year earlier even in the event of some pick-up in exports. Exports last year were held back by the strong domestic demand. Broiler prices will be under downward pressure because total high-protein food supplies during this period are expected to increase faster than demand. Rising pork production is likely to offer broilers the greatest competition although turkey and egg production also will be larger. Live broiler prices to producers in January-June 1967 are likely to average much below the 16. 4 cents received during the first half of 1965.
By late 1967, broiler producers will have had time to trim hatchery supply flocks and probably will be in a better position to adjust production to demand condition. Therefore, broiler prices are expected to recover late next year and probably will end the year above the 1966 level. However, farm broiler prices in 1967 may average as much as 1 cent per pound below the 15.6 cents in prospect this year.

GEORGIA CHICK HATCHERY REPORT
Placement of broiler chicks in Georgia during the week ended October 22 was 8,274,000 -- 6 percent less than in the previous week but 20 percent more than in the comparable week last year, according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service.
An estimated 11,981,000 broiler type eggs were set by Georgia hatcheries -6 percent more than in the previous week and 12 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 72 cents per dozen. The average price of hatching eggs was 64 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 $10.25 with an average of $9.75 per hundred. The average prices last year were 60 cents for eggs and $9.00 for chicks.

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 $8.00 to $10.00 with an average of $9. 50 per hundred. The average prices last year were 64 cents for eggs and $9.50 for chicks.

GEORGIA CROP REPORTING SERVICE - ATHENS, GEORGIA
Athens, Georgia
GEORGIA COTTON PRODUCTION AS OF DECEMBER 1, 1966
December 8, 1966
Cotton production in Georgia in 1966 amounted to 318,000 (500 pounds gross weight) bales,
according to the Georgia Crop Reporting Service. This is 245,000 bales below the 1965 crop of 563,000 bales and is the smallest crop since 1868. The indicated lint yield per acre of 402 pounds is 65 pounds less than the 1965 yield and is 1 pound below the 1960-1964 average of 403 pounds. The majority of the decrease in production is due to the large decline in acreage. The 1966 acres for harvest is estimated at 380,000 acres compared with 577,000 'last year and is the smallest acreage since estimates were started in 1866.
Cool weather and excessive rains during the spring months made it difficult for growers to complete planting operations on schedule. The record rainfal+ during May made it impossible to carry out an effective weed and grass control program, and a much larger percentage of the planted acreage was abandoned than normal. The hard freeze on November 4 damaged the late crop in the northern counties and reduced yields below early expectations. Bureau of Census ginnings to December 1 were 303,000 running bales compared to 548,000 to the same date last year.

GEORGIA ANNUAL CROP REPORT -- 1966
VALUE OF GEORGIA CROPS DOWN: The value of the principal crops produced in Georgia during 1966 is $383,639,000 - 11 percent below the 1965 value of
$432,900, 000. The decrease is mostly due to smaller acreages for most crops and reduced yield per acre resulting from unfavorable weather conditions. Peanuts are Georgia's most valuable crop with a value of $92,2 08, 000 / followed by corn with $85/883/ 000. Tobacco ranked third in
value with $72/ 010 / 000. Cotton dropped to fourth place with $4 a/422/ 000. This is the smallest
value for this crop since 1932. These four crops accounted for 75.7 percent of the total value of all crops.
YIELDS DOWN: Unfavorable weather conditions during the planting and growing eeason were res ponsible for the lower yields than in 1965. The 1966 corn yield of 43 bushels
is 6 bushels below the revised 1965 record yield of 49 bushels. Peanut yield of 17 00 pounds is
much above average but 11 a pounds below the record high for 1965. The excessive moisture
during May damaged the tobacco crop and the current yield of 155 a pounds compared with 2 031
last season.
The pecan crop of 36, 000, 000 pounds compares with the 61/ 000 / 000 pounds in 1965. The size of the crop varies widely by areas and varieties. Growers received good prices this year and the value of the crop is placed at $10/860/000. The 1966 peach production of 3,800/000 bushels is 21 percent below the 1965 crop. Value of this year's crop is $9,947, 000 - up $2,799, 000 due to higher prices.

UNITED STATES: Production of the 27 principal fresh market vegetables and melons in 1966 was 2 percent les s than in 1965 but was 1 percent more than average. The
1966 production of 218 millionl1.undredweight compares with 223 million hundredweight in 1965 and the average annual production of 217 million. Major contributors to the decline from a year 6q.rlier were onions, sweet corn, cantaloups, watermelons, honeydews, and snap beans. However, production was at record hi.J;jh levels in 1966 for artichokes I broccoli, carrots, escarole, and lettuce. The value of principal vegetable and melon crops totaled 1,160 million dollars I 11 percent more than a year earlier.

GEORGIA PECAN CROP DOWN 36 PERCENT
~EORGIA~ The 1966 production of pecans in Georgia is estimated at 36,000,000 pounds compared with 61, 000, 000 pounds in 1965. The current crop is 36 percent below
the 1960-64 average production of 56,560,000 pounds. There were a number of factors contributing to the small 1966 production, such as excessive rain during the blooming season causing poor pollination. Record low temperatures in January damaged the bud crop especially in North Georgia. Trees in some areas have not completely recovered from the 1965 ice storm, and losses from insects, disease, squirrels and birds were especially heavy in many orchards. The 1966 production from improved varieties is estimated at 32, 000, 000 pounds with 4, 000, 000 pounds coming from seedling trees.
UNITED STATES: The 1966 pecan crop is expected to total 161.8 million pounds, 36 percent less than last year and 24 percent below average. The crop is turning out
much below earlier expectations. Louisiana, Alabama, New Mexico, and Florida expect larger crops than last year. All other States expect smaller crops. Improved varieties are expected to account for 53 percent of the 1966 output compared with 49 percent last year and the average of 51 percent. Production in States east of the Mississippi River is expected to total 87.8 million pounds or 54 percent of the Nation's crop compared with 119.6 million pounds or 48 percent in 1965.
In Georgia the well cared for, sprayed groves will produce the bulk of the crop. The wild and seedling crop is very short. In South Carolina, Mississippi, and Oklahoma, as a result of the early November freeze, some nuts failed to leave the husk.
The Louisiana crop is expected to total 4 0.0 million pounds, nearly four times as large as last year's hurricane-damaged crop. Oklahoma's production, at 5. 0 million pounds, Is less than one-eighth last year's large crop and the Texas crop, at 18.0 million poundS, is less than one-third of last year's output.
