Dear Data Users:
This Is the first Issue of the Georgia Fann
Report, a tw1ce monthl y pub II cation de-
signed to replace Individual releases by
commodl ty groupl ngs.
Hopefully, this fonnat will meet the needs of most data users by providing a synopsis of current Crop Reporting Service data for most agricultural commodities. This approach was adopted due to current budget constraints, escala ting postage costs arid S.R.S. program modifications.
Improvements and ref I nements wi I I be made I n subsequent Issues and your comments on cont ent and fonna t wil l be apprecl ated ,

GA PEANUT CROP OFF 8 PERCENT
Peanut v ine growth has been very rapid due t o
the abundant moisture, and most plants are
pegging freely.
The otherwise favorable
prospects are being threatened by a variety of
i ns ect s and fungus diseases. There Is cons id-
erab I e concern about wh I te moI d, wh I ch ap-
peared much ear I i er th I s year and appeared In
mor e fields. A y ield of 3,200 pounds per acre
I s forecast, wh I ch Is 270 pounds above la s t
year's yield.
Production Is expected t o
d ec l I ne 8 pe r c e nt to 1. 52 billio n poun ds due
to acreage r eductions.
RECORD SOYBEAN PRODUCTION FOR GA
On Augu st 1, so y beans wer e i n ex t r eme l y vari ed stage s o f g r owt h , ranging from just emergi ng to ch est high. About 60 percent of the acreage had reached "bloom" stage and nearly a fourth had a I ready set some pods. The se ason's first yield forecast Is placed at 25 bushels per acre, for a total production of 65 mi l l i o n bushels. The yield estimate is 6 b us he l s above l as t year but 3 bus he ls be l o t he record 1979 yield. Projected product ion a t 65 mi l li o n bu shels would set a rec ord f o r r ne St at e .

us PECANS OFF 39 PERCENT--GEORGIA DOWN 8 PERCENT
The season's fIrst forecast for the 1982 U.S. pecan crop Is nearl y 208 mil I Ion pounds (94.2 thousand metric tons), Inshel I basis, 39 percent less than last year's very large crop, but 13 percent above the 1980 production. About 71 percent of the crop Is expected to be from Improved var l et Ies compared with 51 percent In 1981 and 70 percent in 1980. The Georg I a forecast Is 110 mil lion pounds, 8 percent be low I ast year's crop, but 5 percent above 1980. The season to date has been very rainy with considerable cloud cover which Is conducl ve to fungus dl sease formation. Producers have sprayed repeatedly for fungus, scab and wh Ite mo I d control. Non-treated groves wll I have heavy Infestation. The abundant moIsture supplIes have caused nuts to overfill wIth fluIds and this has resulted In heavy shedding of Schleys and rupturing of Wichita varIety nuts. LImb breakage is extensive, but this is due to exceptionally heavy foliage, In addition to the heavy nut load.
The pecan crop In Alabama Is forecast at 20.0 mill Ion pounds, 41 percent be Iow Iast year, but the same as 1980 productIon. Louisiana expects a crop of 12.0 million pounds, 50 percent below last year and 14 percent less than 1980. The Okl ahoma crop forecast Is for 5.00 mill Ion pounds, 89 percent below last year. The poor crop I s the resu It of a I ate spring frost , heavy Insect Infestations and hot, dry weather I n August Some area s of the State are experiencing a near total crop loss. The Texas crop forecast, at 25.0 mil lion poundS, Is down 60 percent from last year, but more than tw Ice as Iarge as the sma I I crop harvested In 1980. Excess heat and the lack of rrolsture have caused Improper fil ling of nuts and Increased droppage. The crop forecast In New Mexico Is 18.0 mIllio n pounds, 10 percent be I ow I ast year, but 22 percent above the 1980 crop. There Is a Iarge number of young trees now prod uc I ng. The sma I Ier crop than last year is primarily due to smaller nut sizes.
