from last month. Of the White Winter production, 12.7 million bushels are
Hard White and 183 million bushels are Soft White.
Durum wheat production is forecast at 75.5 million bushels, up 42 percent
from 2014. The United States yield is forecast at 39.6 bushels per acre, down
0.1 bushel from last year. Expected area to be harvested for grain totals
1.91 million acres, unchanged from the Acreage report released on
June 30, 2015 but up 43 percent from last year.
Other spring wheat production is forecast at 617 million bushels, up
4 percent from last year. Area harvested for grain is expected to total
13.2 million acres, unchanged from the Acreage report released on June 30,
2015 but up 4 percent from last year. The United States yield is forecast at
46.7 bushels per acre, equal to the 2014 yield. Of the total production,
573 million bushels are Hard Red Spring wheat, up 3 percent from last year.
The United States all orange forecast for the 2014-2015 season is
6.38 million tons, down 1 percent from the previous forecast and
down 6 percent from the 2013-2014 final utilization. The Florida all orange
forecast, at 96.7 million boxes (4.35 million tons), is up slightly from the
previous forecast but down 8 percent from last season's final utilization.
Early, midseason, and Navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 47.4 million
boxes (2.13 million tons), unchanged from the previous forecast but down
11 percent from last season's final utilization. The Florida Valencia orange
forecast, at 49.3 million boxes (2.22 million tons), is up 1 percent from the
previous forecast but down 4 percent from last season's final utilization.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the
2014-2015 season is 1.50 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, unchanged from
the June forecast but down 4 percent from last season's final yield of
1.57 gallons per box. The non-Valencia portion is finalized at 1.42 gallons
per box, down 7 percent from last season's yield. The Valencia portion is
projected at 1.58 gallons, down 1 percent from last month's forecast and
down 4 percent from last season's final yield of 1.64 gallons per box. All
projections of yield assume the processing relationships this season will be
similar to those of the past several seasons.

June Weather Summary
Heavy rain shifted into the lower Midwest during June, disrupting the soft
red winter wheat harvest and causing condition declines for corn and
soybeans. The axis of heaviest precipitation stretched from Missouri to Ohio,
leaving topsoil moisture roughly half surplus by July 5 in Ohio (51 percent),
Indiana (50 percent), Missouri (48 percent), and Illinois (47 percent). On
the same date, corn was rated 45 percent good to excellent in Ohio and
48 percent in Indiana, down from 80 and 73 percent, respectively, on June 14.
For Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, it was the wettest June during the 121-year
period of record. The June wetness also extended eastward into parts of the
Mid-Atlantic region.
Meanwhile, heavy rain abated across the central and southern Plains, allowing
the previously delayed hard red winter wheat harvest to advance and favoring
late-season planting efforts. Across the remainder of the Nation's
mid-section, including the northern Plains and upper Midwest, conditions
remained mostly favorable for winter wheat maturation and summer crop
development. However, hot, dry conditions developed on Montana's High Plains,
hastening winter wheat maturation but stressing spring-sown small grains.
Hot, dry conditions were even more persistent and intense in the Northwest,
where Statewide temperatures were the highest on record for June in Idaho,
Oregon, and Washington. Monthly temperatures averaged at least 5 to 10°F
above normal across the interior Northwest, increasing stress on rangeland,
pastures, and rain-fed summer crops. By July 5, topsoil moisture was rated
73 percent very short to short in Oregon. In Washington, where topsoil
moisture was 59 percent very short to short, more than one-fifth (21 percent)
of the spring wheat was rated very poor to poor by July 5.
Across the remainder of the West, occasional showers provided local drought
relief. Some of the most significant rain, relative to normal, fell in the
Four Corners States, where the monsoon arrived a few days early in late June.
In California, however, isolated showers provided inconsequential relief from
the 4-year drought. In addition, the return of hot weather in California-
which experienced its hottest June on record-boosted irrigation demands.
Elsewhere, cooler weather and scattered showers developed in the Southeast
toward month's end, following an extended period of hot, mostly dry weather.
The Southeastern heat wave reduced topsoil moisture and stressed reproductive
summer crops, such as corn, which by July 5 was rated 32 percent very poor to
poor in the minor production State of South Carolina.
June Agricultural Summary
Areas of the central and eastern Corn Belt recorded more than 200 percent of
normal precipitation during the month of June causing delays in spring
fieldwork and deterioration of crop ratings. Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio
recorded the wettest June on record dating back to 1895. Dry conditions
continued to stress the Pacific coast with major regions of California,
Oregon, and Washington recording under one-tenth of an inch of rainfall
during the month. Average monthly temperatures were generally above normal
across the Nation with areas in the Pacific Northwest more than 10°F above
normal in June. Major exceptions to this trend occurred in southern Texas,
the Great Lakes region, and New England where areas were between 0 and 4°F
below normal for the month.
Planting of the 2015 corn crop was 95 percent complete by May 31, slightly
ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Eighty-four percent of this
year's corn crop had emerged by May 31, seven percentage points ahead of last
year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By June 14, corn
emerged had advanced to 97 percent complete, slightly ahead of last year and
2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. More than 90 percent of the
crop was emerged in all estimating States except Colorado, Kansas, and
Missouri by June 14. By June 28, silking was estimated at 4 percent complete,
equal to last year but 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. All
estimating States except Michigan observed silking progress at or behind the
5-year average at the end of the month. Overall, 68 percent of the corn crop
was reported in good to excellent condition on June 28, down 6 percentage
points from May 31 and 7 percentage points below the same time last year. Wet
conditions in the eastern Corn Belt led to deterioration of corn condition
ratings, which dropped 45 percentage points in the good to excellent
categories in Ohio and 28 percentage points in Indiana during the month of
June.
Producers had planted 43 percent of this year's sorghum crop by May 31,
twelve percentage points behind both last year and the 5-year average.

thirty-three percentage points ahead of last year and 36 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 73 percent of the barley was reported
in good to excellent condition on June 28, down slightly from the beginning
of the month but 5 percentage points better than the same time last year.
Hot, dry conditions in Montana and Washington dried out soils and lowered
barley condition ratings in June.
Heading of this year's winter wheat crop advanced to 84 percent complete by
May 31, six percentage points ahead of last year and 7 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average. By June 14, ninety-six percent of the winter

June in Arkansas, California, Oklahoma, and Texas. By June 28, producers had
harvested 38 percent of the winter wheat crop, 4 percentage points behind
last year and 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Drier conditions
in the central and southern United States spurred harvest progress, allowing
producers in Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, North Carolina, and Oklahoma to
harvest at least 25 percent of their winter wheat during the final week of
the month. Overall, 41 percent of the winter wheat was reported in good to
excellent condition on June 28, compared to 44 percent on May 31 and
30 percent at the same time last year.
The Nation's spring wheat crop was 91 percent emerged by May 31,
twenty-seven percentage points ahead of last year and 22 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average. Emergence was over 20 percentage points ahead of
the 5-year average in Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota at the beginning
of the month. By June 21, twenty-three percent of the spring wheat was at or
beyond the heading stage, 14 percentage points ahead of last year and
8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Hot weather in the Pacific
Northwest accelerated heading progress, which by June 21 was 20 percentage
points ahead of the 5-year average in Idaho and 24 percentage points ahead in
Washington. By June 28, forty-nine percent of the spring wheat crop was at or
beyond the heading stage, 25 percentage points ahead of last year and
20 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Half of the spring wheat
acreage in Minnesota moved into the heading stage during the final week of
the month to reach 76 percent headed by June 28. Overall, 72 percent of the

Crop Comments
Oats: Production is forecast at 83.6 million bushels, up 20 percent from
2014. Growers expect to harvest 1.22 million acres for grain or seed,
unchanged from the Acreage report released on June 30, 2015, but up
19 percent from last year. Based on conditions as of July 1, the average
yield for the United States is forecast at 68.6 bushels per acre, up
0.9 bushel from 2014. If realized, this will be a new record high
United States yield, 0.7 bushel higher than the previous record high in 2009.
The 2015 oat crop has developed ahead of the normal pace in most of the
nine major producing States due to favorable weather conditions. As of
June 28, eighty-three percent of the oat acreage was headed, 16 percentage
points ahead of last year's pace and 12 percentage points ahead of the 5-year
average. As of June 28, sixty-seven percent of the crop was rated in good to
excellent condition, compared with 64 percent at the same time last year.
Barley: Production is forecast at 208 million bushels, up 18 percent from
2014. Based on conditions as of July 1, the average yield for the
United States is forecast at 71.3 bushels per acre, down 1.1 bushels from
last year. Area harvested for grain or seed, at 2.92 million acres, is
unchanged from the previous forecast but up 19 percent from 2014.
When compared with last year, yields are expected to increase in Colorado and
Minnesota due to favorable spring weather. Dry conditions have led to
expected yield decreases in Montana and Washington. Record barley yields are
expected in Colorado and Idaho.
Generally dry spring weather facilitated beneficial conditions for planting
and the development of barley in 2015. By May 31, ninety-five percent of the
Nation's barley crop was emerged, 25 percentage points or approximately 3
weeks ahead of the 5-year average. Sixty-two percent of the barley crop was
headed by June 28, thirty-six percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Nationwide, 73 percent of the barley crop was rated in the good to excellent
categories at the end of the month, 5 percentage points better than the same
time last year.
Winter wheat: Production is forecast at 1.46 billion bushels, down 3 percent
from the June 1 forecast but up 6 percent from 2014. Based on July 1
conditions, the United States yield is forecast at 43.7 bushels per acre,
down 0.8 bushel from last month but up 1.1 bushels from last year. The area
expected to be harvested for grain or seed totals 33.3 million acres,
unchanged from the Acreage report released on June 30, 2015 but up 3 percent
from last year. As of June 28, forty-one percent of the winter wheat crop in
the 18 major producing States was rated in good to excellent condition,
11 percentage points better than at the same time last year.
As of June 28, harvest progress was equal to or behind normal in all Hard Red
Winter (HRW) States except California. Yield increases from last month in the
HRW growing area are expected in Colorado and Kansas but are down in Idaho,
Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, and Washington.
As of June 28, harvest progress in the Soft Red Winter (SRW) growing area was
behind normal in all major producing States except North Carolina. Growers in
Michigan are expecting a record high yield in 2015, while decreases from last
month are expected in Arkansas, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, and Ohio.
Durum wheat: Production is forecast at 75.5 million bushels, up 42 percent
from 2014. The United States yield is forecast at 39.6 bushels per acre, down
0.1 bushel from last year. Expected area to be harvested for grain totals
1.91 million acres, unchanged from the Acreage report released on
June 30, 2015 but up 43 percent from last year.
Durum wheat crop development has progressed ahead of normal in Montana and
North Dakota, the two largest Durum-producing states. As of June 28, crop
conditions in Montana and North Dakota were rated 37 percent and 91 percent
good to excellent, respectively.
Other spring wheat: Production is forecast at 617 million bushels, up
4 percent from last year. The United States yield is forecast at 46.7 bushels
per acre, equal to the 2014 yield. Of the total production, 573 million
bushels are Hard Red Spring wheat, up 3 percent from last year. Area
harvested for grain is expected to total 13.2 million acres, unchanged from
the Acreage report released on June 30, 2015 but up 4 percent from last year.
Crop development has been ahead of normal this spring primarily due to
favorable weather conditions. In the six major producing States, 49 percent
of the crop was at or beyond the heading stage as of June 28, twenty-
five percentage points ahead of last year and 20 percentage points ahead of
the 5-year average.
Compared with last year, yield increases are expected in Minnesota,
North Dakota and Washington but decreases are expected in Idaho, Montana,
Oregon, and South Dakota. If realized, Minnesota and North Dakota yields will
be record highs. As of June 28, seventy-two percent of the other spring wheat
crop was rated in good to excellent condition compared with 70 percent at the
same time last year.
Tobacco: United States all flue-cured tobacco production is forecast at
455 million pounds, down 21 percent from the 2014 crop. Area harvested, at
207,000 acres, is 16 percent below last year. Yield per acre for flue-cured
tobacco is forecast at 2,202 pounds, down 133 pounds from a year ago. If
realized, the Georgia flue-cured tobacco yield will be a record high.
Lentils: Planted area is estimated at 485,000 acres, up 73 percent from last
year. Area for harvest, at 468,000 acres, is 81 percent above a year ago.
Planted area is the second highest on record, only below the 658,000 acres
estimated in 2010.
In Montana, the crop was 99 percent emerged by June 21, compared with
95 percent a year ago. By June 28, 56 percent was blooming compared with
34 percent last year. By late-June, most of the crop was rated in fair to
good condition.
In North Dakota, planting began in early to mid-April and as of May 24, was
97 percent complete, forty percentage points ahead of last year. The crop was
76 percent blooming as of July 5, compared with 41 percent a year ago.
Condition was rated 79 percent good to excellent as of July 5.
Dry edible peas: Planted area of dry edible peas is estimated at
980,000 acres, up 5 percent from last year. Area for harvest, at
927,000 acres, is 3 percent above a year ago. This is the highest planted
acreage on record and, if realized, will be the largest harvested acreage on
record.
In Montana, dry peas reached 97 percent emergence by June 7, compared with
90 percent last year. By June 28, the crop was 80 percent blooming with crop
condition rated mostly fair to good.
In North Dakota, planting began the second week of April, equal to the 5-year
average. As of May 24, planting was 97 percent complete, which was ahead of
last year's pace of 57 percent. As of June 28, the crop was reported at
57 percent blooming, which was well ahead of the 5-year average of
34 percent. As of June 28, crop condition was rated mostly good to excellent.
Austrian winter peas: Planted area of Austrian winter peas is estimated at
28,000 acres, up 17 percent from a year ago. Area harvested is expected to
total 21,000 acres, up 25 percent from 2014.
Apricots: The 2015 apricot crop is forecast at 53,008 tons, down 17 percent
from last year. The California crop represents 85 percent of the total
United States production. Harvest in California began in early May. Growers
reported the early season varieties to be lighter than normal.
Washington's harvest began about two weeks sooner than normal due to an early
spring with quality reported to be very good. In Utah early warm weather led
to early blooming however the crop was damaged by late freezes.
Grapefruit: The 2014-2015 United States grapefruit crop is forecast at
926,000 tons, down 6 percent from last month's forecast and down 12 percent
from last season's final utilization.
Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is
forecast at 758,000 tons, unchanged from the June forecast but up 3 percent
from last season's final utilization.
Lemons: The forecast for the 2014-2015 United States lemon crop is
880,000 tons, down 1 percent from previous forecast but up 7 percent from
last season's final utilization. In California, lemon harvest is almost 85
percent complete.
Tangelos: Florida's tangelo forecast is 680,000 boxes (31,000 tons), down 3
percent from last month's forecast and down 23 percent from last season's
final utilization. The production is the lowest since the 1960-1961 season.
Florida citrus: In the citrus growing region, reported daily high
temperatures were mostly warmer than normal during June, reaching the mid to
high 90s on several days. Precipitation was less than average in about half
of the monitored citrus growing counties, mostly in the Western and Southern
citrus growing areas. Rainfall totals were higher than average in Indian
River County and St. Lucie County on the east coast, and in Glades County in
the south. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, abnormally dry conditions
now cover the complete Indian River District and the southern portions of
Okeechobee, Glades and Hendry Counties.
Harvesting of Valencia oranges was heavy the first week of the month reaching
almost three million boxes, but tapered off quickly and was relatively
complete by the end of the month. All other varieties were finished before
the month began.
Most grove caretakers were focusing on next season's crop. Field workers
reported seeing irrigation maintenance, fertilizing, spraying summer oils,
and treating for greening as rainfall permitted. Oranges were about golf ball
size while grapefruit were slightly larger.
California citrus: Late navel orange harvest was finished early in June. The
Valencia orange harvest was ongoing with exports continuing to Asian and
domestic markets. Re-greening became common with the arrival of hot weather.
Ruby Red grapefruit harvest started and continued throughout the month. Young
citrus trees continued to be planted.
California noncitrus fruits and nuts: Early variety peach, nectarine and plum
harvest tapered off in early June. Midseason stone fruit varieties were close
to maturity by the end of the month. Reflective foil was placed on the ground
in stone fruit orchards to promote coloring. Peaches were thinned, with
reports of an early peach harvest in several counties. Harvesting of early
canning peaches began. Domestic and foreign stone fruit markets remained
strong. Pomegranate bloom finished up. Cherry harvest finished. There were
scattered reports of blight being chapped out of pear orchards. Wine grape
fungicide was applied once more in June. Grapevines were suckered and
beginning to bear fruit. Spraying for mildew and mites continued in grape
vineyards. Grape vines were trimmed to increase airflow and allow light to
the bunches. Olive bloom ended. Irrigation in almond, walnut and other nut
tree orchards continued. Herbicides and mowing were used to control weeds and
pests in walnut and almond orchards. Pistachio orchards received spray
micronutrients. Scale sprays were applied due to scattered reports of
coddling moth in walnut orchards. By month's end, growers reported almonds
with hull split were advancing. Application of sun protection products to
walnuts was performed. Almonds and pistachios continued to be exported to
foreign and domestic markets.
Statistical Methodology
Wheat survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were
conducted between June 24 and July 7 to gather information on expected yield
as of July 1. The objective yield survey was conducted in 10 States that
accounted for 60 percent of the 2014 winter wheat production. Farm operators
were interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and seek
permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected winter wheat
fields. The counts made within each sample plot depended upon the crop's
maturity. Counts such as number of stalks, heads in late boot, and number of
emerged heads were made to predict the number of heads that would be
harvested. The counts are used with similar data from previous years to
develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is
subtracted to obtain a net yield. The plots are revisited each month until
crop maturity when the heads are clipped, threshed, and weighed. After the
farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to
obtain current year harvesting loss.
The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use
of mail, internet, and personal interviewers. Approximately 7,900 producers
were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about the
probable yield on their operation. These growers will continue to be surveyed
throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields.
Orange survey procedures: The orange objective yield survey for the July 1
forecast was conducted in Florida, which accounts for about 68 percent of the
United States production. Bearing tree numbers are determined at the start of
the season based on a tree inventory survey conducted every year combined
with special surveys. From mid-July to mid-September, the number of fruit per
tree is determined. In August and subsequent months, fruit size measurement
and fruit droppage surveys are conducted, which combined with the previous
components and are used to develop the current forecast of production.
California and Texas conduct grower and packer surveys on a quarterly basis
in October, January, April, and July. California also conducts objective
measurement surveys in September for Navel oranges and in March for Valencia
oranges.
Wheat estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and
grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with
historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather
patterns and crop progress compared to previous months and previous years.
Each Regional Field Office submits their analysis of the current situation to
the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the
State analyses to prepare the published July 1 forecasts.
Orange estimating procedures: State level objective yield estimates for
Florida oranges were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency
with historical estimates. Reports from growers and packers in California and
Texas were also used for setting estimates. These three States submit their
analyses of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB).
The ASB uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published
July 1 forecast.
Revision policy: The July 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead,
a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing season.
End-of-season wheat estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the wheat
marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks,
production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then
made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant
changes. End-of-season orange estimates will be published in the Citrus
Fruits Summary released in September. The orange production estimates are
based on all data available at the end of the marketing season, including
information from marketing orders, shipments, and processor records.
Allowances are made for recorded local utilization and home use.
Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the July 1
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure
based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the July 1
production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of
the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the
latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be
made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's
forecast are not different from those influencing recent years.
The "Root Mean Square Error" for the July 1 winter wheat production forecast
is 2.0 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current
winter wheat production will not be above or below the final estimate by more
than 2.0 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that
the difference will not exceed 3.5 percent. Differences between the July 1
winter wheat production forecast and the final estimate during the past
20 years have averaged 24 million bushels, ranging from less than 1 million
to 65 million bushels. The July 1 forecast has been below the final estimate
9 times and above 11 times. This does not imply that the July 1 winter wheat
forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
The "Root Mean Square Error" for the July 1 orange production forecast is
1.6 percent. However, if you exclude the three abnormal production seasons
(one freeze and two hurricane seasons), the "Root Mean Square Error" is
1.5 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current orange
production forecast will not be above or below the final estimates by more
than 1.6 percent, or 1.5 percent, excluding abnormal seasons. Chances are
9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed
2.7 percent, or 2.6 percent, excluding abnormal seasons.
Changes between the July 1 orange forecast and the final estimates during the
past 20 years have averaged 129,000 tons (122,000 tons, excluding abnormal
seasons), ranging from 9,000 tons to 370,000 tons regardless of exclusions.
The July 1 forecast for oranges has been below the final estimate 7 times and
above 13 times (below 4 times and above 13 times, excluding abnormal
seasons). The difference does not imply that the July 1 forecast this year is
likely to understate or overstate final production.
