Also included are first of the month potato stocks (December through June) for the 13 major fall potato producing States. Monthly prices, farm marketings, percent of acreage planted by type, and certified seed acres are also included for selected States. Production, disposition, and value data for Alaska are shown separately. These estimates are based on information furnished by crop reporters, processors, and cooperating State or Federal Agencies. The various sources include: Market News Service rail and truck shipments, Federal-State inspections, and miscellaneous data available through marketing programs. Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale. These prices are applied to total production to compute value of production and to the quantity sold to compute value of sales. Some unsold potatoes contribute to the value of production, including farm use for seed, feed, home use, and loss. The United States season average price is obtained by weighting State prices by quantities sold. Potato production, utilization, and value of sales in each State have been classified by season according to the period when the largest supplies are harvested. The four seasons are as follows: Season Usual Time of Harvest Winter January through March Spring April through June Summer July to Mid-September Fall August through November A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Seasons are not fixed dates but are approximations because of overlapping harvests. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall potatoes, when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. Thus, the marketing year for fall potatoes is from the start of harvest through August of the following year. 2013 Potato Production Down 6 Percent Potato production in 2013 is revised to 435 million cwt, down 1 percent from the estimate in the January Crop Production 2013 Summary and 6 percent below the 2012 crop. Harvested area, at 1.05 million acres, is down 7 percent from 2012. The average yield of 414 cwt per acre is up 5 cwt from the previous year. Spring potato final production for 2013 is 22.1 million cwt, 17 percent below the previous year. Texas Spring Potato production was discontinued in 2013, and now that production value is included in the summer total for Texas. Harvested acres, at 72,900 acres, decreased 23 percent from 2012. The average yield for spring potatoes is 304 cwt per acre, up 21 cwt from 2012. Summer potato production is 17.2 million cwt for 2013, a 5 percent decrease from 2012. Colorado Summer production estimates were discontinued in 2013 and are now being included in the Fall total for Colorado. Harvested area, at 47,500 acres, is down 2 percent from 2012. The average yield of 363 cwt per acre is down 10 cwt from 2012. Fall potato production is finalized at 395 million cwt for 2013, down 5 percent from the 2012 crop. Area harvested in 2013 is 930,500 acres, down 6 percent from the previous year. The average fall potato yield, at 425 cwt per acre, was up 2 cwt from 2012. The value of all potatoes sold in 2013, at $3.93 billion, increased slightly from the previous year. The average price, at $9.71 per cwt, is up $1.08 from 2012. The quantity of potatoes sold from the 2013 crop totaled 404 million cwt, down 6 percent from 2012. Sales account for 93 percent of 2013 production, unchanged from the previous year. Processors used 276 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2013 crop, down 3 percent from 2012. Table stock sales totaled 104 million cwt, 12 percent below the previous year. Seed sales of 22.4 million cwt are down 5 percent from 2012. Sales for livestock feed, at 1.25 million cwt, decreased significantly from 2012. Potatoes used for chips and shoestrings totaled 60.2 million cwt in 2013, up 2 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 158 million cwt of raw potatoes, down 3 percent from 2012. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 47.8 million cwt, down 4 percent from 2012. Canning use, at 1.31 million cwt, is down 47 percent from the previous year. Starch, flour, and other products were made from 8.58 million cwt of potatoes, an 8 percent increase from 2012. Shrinkage and loss is estimated at 26.2 million cwt for 2013, 8 percent below 2012. Potatoes used for livestock feed on farms where grown and home use totaled 1.11 million cwt, and decreased significantly from the previous season. Growers kept 3.22 million cwt for seed on their own farms, down 2 percent from 2012.

(S) Insufficient number of reports to establish an estimate. Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: Potato estimates are the results of a variety of surveys. Summer and fall potatoes are included in the June and December Quarterly Agricultural Surveys, but also follow Grower Special Surveys. For spring potatoes, March Quarterly Agricultural Surveys and Grower Special Surveys are the source of data. Telephone follow-up of mail survey non-respondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Special grower disposition surveys are conducted at the end of each season to provide additional details about the crop. Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the special grower disposition surveys along with federal administrative data is used to establish estimates of acreage, production, amount sold, and usage on farm where grown. These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. Revision Policy: All estimates for the previous crop year can be revised at this time. However, acreage is rarely updated. End-of-season estimates of production are made following harvest and are subject to revision the following year based on a thorough review of all available data. Reliability: Survey results are 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 they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
