Cr Pr 2-3 (02) United States Department of Agriculture National Agricultural Statistics Service Small Grains 2002 Summary September 2002 All wheat production totaled 1.62 billion bushels in 2002, down 4 percent from the last forecast and 17 percent below 2001. This is the lowest production since 1972. Grain area is 46.0 million acres, down 5 percent from last year and the smallest area harvested since 1970. The U.S. yield is 35.3 bushels per acre, down 4.9 bushels from a year ago. Levels of production and change from last year by type are: winter wheat, 1.14 billion bushels, down 16 percent; other spring wheat, 402 million bushels, down 22 percent; and Durum wheat, 80.2 million bushels, down 4 percent. Oats: Production is estimated at 119 million bushels, 16 percent below the August 1 forecast, but 2 percent above last year's record low 117 million bushels. The estimated yield is 56.8 bushels per acre, 2.6 bushels above the August 1 forecast, but 4.6 bushels below 2001. Area for harvest is estimated at 2.10 million acres, 20 percent below the August 1 estimate but up 10 percent from a year ago. Compared with the August 1 estimate, acres harvested for grain dropped 150,000 in South Dakota and 140,000 in North Dakota. Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and Wisconsin had smaller, but significant, reductions from August. Barley production is estimated at 227 million bushels, down 10 percent from the August forecast and down 9 percent from last year's estimate. This year's production is the lowest since 1937. Average yield per acre, at 54.9 bushels, is down 1.0 bushel from August and down 3.3 bushels from 2001. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 4.14 million acres, down 8 percent from August and 4 percent below a year ago, and is the lowest level since 1898. Of the 364,000 acre decrease in harvested area since August, North Dakota accounted for 280,000 acres of the decline due to extremely dry conditions in the southern part of the State. This report was approved on September 30, 2002. Acting Secretary of Agriculture Donna Reifschneider Agricultural Statistics Board Chairperson Frederic A.

Area for harvest is estimated at 2.10 million acres, 20 percent below the August 1 estimate but up 10 percent from a year ago. Compared with the August 1 estimate, acres harvested for grain dropped 150,000 in South Dakota and 140,000 in North Dakota. Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, and Wisconsin had smaller, but significant, reductions from August. Planting advanced ahead of normal in parts of the western Corn Belt, but cold weather delayed progress in the upper Mississippi Valley and northern Great Plains in early April. In Iowa and Nebraska, planting was active during most of April and neared completion well ahead of normal. In the eastern Corn Belt, rain and wet soils limited progress until late April. Planting accelerated in the upper Mississippi Valley and northern Great Plains in early May and gained momentum in Ohio and Wisconsin, but progress remained far behind normal due to frequent rain and lingering wetness. Warm weather and favorable topsoil moisture aided rapid emergence and promoted early-season vegetative growth in Iowa, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania. However, a combination of excessive heat and increasing moisture shortages during June steadily reduced conditions in many areas of the central and northern Great Plains. In Minnesota, a period of excessive rain combined with slow soil drainage led to condition declines. In July, fields entered the heading stage and matured ahead of normal in Nebraska and Iowa, while development continued to lag in the upper Mississippi Valley and eastern Corn Belt. By July 21, the oat crop was 95 percent headed, matching the average for that date. Hot weather promoted rapid biological development during most of the month, but increasing moisture shortages on the Great Plains reduced forage supplies and forced growers to harvest many fields as grain hay. Harvest accelerated after mid-July and progressed with few delays in most areas, and by the end of the month, progress was far ahead of normal in Iowa and South Dakota and neared completion in Nebraska. In August, harvest progressed ahead of normal early in the month, but fell behind normal after midmonth. Harvest accelerated in the upper Mississippi Valley near midmonth, but progress lagged 3 to 4 days behind normal in North Dakota. On September 1, harvest was 92 percent complete, slightly behind the average of 95 percent. Barley: Production is estimated at 227 million bushels, down 10 percent from the August forecast and down 9 percent from last year's estimate. This year's production is the lowest since 1937. Average yield per acre, at 54.9 bushels, is down 1.0 bushel from August and down 3.3 bushels from 2001. The area harvested for grain is estimated at 4.14 million acres, down 8 percent from August and 4 percent below a year ago, and is the lowest level since 1898. Of the 364,000 acre decrease in harvested area since August, North Dakota accounted for 280,000 acres of the decline due to extremely dry conditions in the southern part of the State. Barley advanced to 23 percent planted and 7 percent emerged by April 28. Planting and emergence trailed the 5-year average of 33 and 12 percent, respectively. Planting was active in the interior Pacific Northwest and adjacent northern High Plains most of the month. Planting slowly gained momentum on the northern Great Plains, despite cold weather and scattered snowfall. Planting was completed in late May and early June across the major producing States. Below-normal temperatures hindered emergence and limited growth in the Pacific Northwest and on the Great Plains. Above-normal temperatures promoted rapid biological development across the northern Great Plains and Pacific Northwest during July. However, moisture shortages stunted vegetative growth in less advanced fields and hampered grain-filling in more advanced fields, especially in South Dakota. Nearly all of the barley fields were headed in Minnesota and Washington by midmonth. In Idaho and Montana, barley fields entered the heading stage later than normal. Extremely dry conditions in southern North Dakota forced farmers to either abandon barley fields or harvest them for hay. Barley harvest advanced to 71 percent complete on September 1, well behind the normal pace of 81 percent. Cold nighttime temperatures delayed ripening and limited the harvest pace across most of the northern Great Plains. Harvest progressed far behind normal in Montana and well behind normal North Dakota. In Washington and Idaho, the barley harvest lagged early in the month, but exceeded the 5-year average at the end of the August. Winter Wheat: The 2002 winter wheat production is estimated at 1.14 billion bushels, the lowest level since 1970. This is down 1 percent from the August forecast and 16 percent below the 2001 level. The U.S. yield decreased 0.4 bushel from August to 38.5 bushels per acre. This is 5.0 bushels below last year's final yield. Acreage for grain is estimated at 29.7 million acres, down slightly from the last forecast. This is the smallest harvested area since 1917. Planted area is 41.7 million acres, up 1 percent from the last forecast. Hard Red Winter (HRW) yields were generally down from last year. Persistent drought conditions across the Plains led to the decline. Montana's yield is up from last year's extremely low level. Overall, HRW production totals 609 million bushels, down 21 percent from last year. Most Soft Red Winter (SRW) producing States' yields were down sharply from last year. Excessive spring moisture in the Ohio Valley and adjacent areas of the southern and eastern Corn Belt led to disease problems. Overall, SRW production is down 17 percent from 2001 and totals 332 million bushels. White Winter production, at 201 million bushels, registered the only increase in 2002 and is up 3 percent from last year. Yields rebounded in Idaho and Oregon where irrigation water shortages last year hampered the crop. Washington's yield declined from a year ago due to dry weather. Other Spring Wheat: Production in 2002 is estimated at 402 million bushels, down 10 percent from the last forecast and 22 percent below 2001. Harvested area is 13.6 million acres, 10 percent lower than the final forecast, primarily due to drought induced abandonment in the Dakotas. North Dakota and South Dakota accounted for 1.35 million of the 1.56 million acre reduction in harvested acres since the August forecast. The U.S. yield is 29.5 bushels per acre, unchanged from the last forecast, but 5.7 bushels below last season. Harvest progressed behind average, especially in Montana and North Dakota. All States recorded lower yields than last year, except Colorado, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. The Colorado yield is a record high, where most of the acreage harvested this year was irrigated. Oregon and Washington are rebounding from very low yields last year. Objective Yield survey data showed plant populations at below average levels in Montana, average in North Dakota, and above average in Minnesota. Weight per head was below average in North Dakota, and far below average in Minnesota and Montana. Durum Wheat: Durum production for 2002 totaled 80.2 million bushels, up 1 percent from August 1, but 4 percent less than last year. Grain area totals 2.76 million acres, up 2 percent from the last forecast but 1 percent below a year ago. The U.S. yield is estimated at 29.1 bushels per acre, down 0.4 bushel from the last forecast and 0.9 bushel per acre below 2001. North Dakota's Durum harvest was 83 percent complete as of September 22, well behind last year's pace. Rye: Production for 2002 is estimated at 6.99 million bushels, up slightly from last year's record low. This is the second lowest production on record. Harvested area totaled 286,000 acres, 12 percent above 2001. The U.S. yield, at 24.4 bushels per acre, is down 2.9 bushels from last year.
