Asparagus Comments
Asparagus: Production from the 2015 asparagus crop is forecast at
685,000 cwt, down 8 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 23,500 acres,
is down 1 percent from 2014. Total value of the crop, at 75.7 million
dollars, is up 3 percent from 2014. Fresh production of 530,000 cwt is down
7 percent from a year ago. Processed production, at 7,750 tons, is down
11 percent from 2014. Asparagus for canning, at 2,200 tons, is up 10 percent
from last year. Frozen asparagus production of 5,550 tons is down 18 percent
from 2014.
In California, drought conditions and lack of rain during the winter forced
producers to start irrigation in March. The harvest of the asparagus crop
began in late February and was complete in most areas of the State by early
June. In Washington, asparagus acres continue a decade long trend of
declining acres.

Onion Comments
Spring onions: Production of spring onions in 2015 is forecast at
6.50 million cwt, down 18 percent from last year. The crop covered
21,900 harvested acres. The average yield, at 297 cwt per acre, is 2 cwt
above 2014. In Texas, the 2015 season was very challenging due to cold
temperatures and heavy rainfall experienced in the late spring and early
summer.
Summer, non-storage onions: Production of non-storage onions is forecast at
10.7 million cwt, up 15 percent from last year. Harvested area covers
18,800 acres, down 2 percent from the previous year. In New Mexico, growing
conditions for non-storage onions were reported to be good.
Summer, storage onions: Growers expect to harvest 92,650 acres of storage
onions this year, down 1 percent from last year. Despite issues with lack of
water available for irrigation, California growers reported the crop to be in
good condition throughout the season. Washington growers reported a very good
growing season.
2014 Storage onions, revised: The final tally of 2014 storage onion
production is 55.7 million cwt, up 10 percent from 2013. The 2014 storage
crop is valued at $566 million, an increase of 2 percent from 2013. Average
price per cwt decreased from $12.10 in 2013 to $11.00 in 2014. With spring
and non-storage summer onions added in, total value of the 2014 harvested
onions is $934 million, down 4 percent from 2013.

Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: Grower and processor surveys are conducted in preparation
for this report. Telephone follow-up of mail survey non-respondents is used
to ensure adequate coverage. Other data are obtained via fax or personal
interview.
Estimating procedures: Information obtained from the vegetable surveys along
with administrative data is used to establish forecasts of area and
production. These forecasts are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and
consistency with historical estimates.
Revision policy: Vegetable forecasts will not be revised. End-of-season
estimates are made following harvest and are subject to revision the
following year based on a thorough review of all available data.
Reliability: Survey indications are subject to sampling variability because
all operations growing vegetables are not included in the sample. Survey
results are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omission,
duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting,
recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly,
but are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection
process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and
reasonableness.
