Also included are first of the month stocks of potatoes (December through June) for the 15 major fall producing 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, including the value paid for a government diversion program. 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 seasonal group according to the period (quarter) when the largest supplies are harvested. The four seasonal groups are as follows: Season Usual Time of Harvest Winter January through March Spring April through June Summer July to Mid-September Fall September 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 of harvest before or after the specified season. 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. 2001 Potato Production Drops 15 percent; Value Record High Total 2001 potato production is estimated at 438 million cwt, 2 percent below the estimate made in the Annual Crop Summary in January and down 15 percent from the record high 2000 crop. Harvested area, at 1.22 million acres, shrank 9 percent from a year ago. The average yield of 358 cwt per acre was down 23 cwt from 2000 and 1 cwt below the average yield from the 1999 crop. By season, winter production dropped 17 percent, spring slipped less than 1 percent, summer fell 5 percent, and fall dropped 16 percent from the previous year. Winter and spring seasonal estimates were carried forward from earlier revisions. Summer potato production was revised to 18.2 million cwt for 2001, down 5 percent from 2000. Harvested area, at 58,800 acres, was down 7 percent from the previous year. The average yield of 310 cwt per acre was record high for summer potatoes and 6 cwt above the previous year. Fall potatoes were finalized at 394 million cwt for 2001, down 16 percent from the record high crop of 2000. Area harvested in 2001 was estimated at 1.07 million acres, down 10 percent from a year earlier. The average yield, at 367 cwt per acre, was down 25 cwt from the record high a year ago. Final production of fall potatoes was 2 percent below both the Annual Crop Summary in January and the first forecast made in November 2001. Value of all potato production in 2001 was estimated at a record high $3.06 billion, up 18 percent from the previous year. The average price, at $6.99 per cwt, jumped $1.91 from a year earlier. Sales from the 2001 potato crop totaled 401 million cwt, down 14 percent from 2000. Sales accounted for 92 percent of 2001 production. Non sales accounted for 36.6 million cwt, down 25 percent from the previous year. Over the past five years, 91 percent of the potatoes grown have been sold. The other 9 percent were either lost (shrinkage and loss) or used on farms where grown (seed, home use, and livestock feed). Processors used 251 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2001 crop, down 13 percent from a year earlier. Table stock sales totaled 122 million cwt, 12 percent below the previous year. Seed sales of 25.1 million cwt were up 8 percent. Sales for livestock feed, at 3.50 million cwt, were down 65 percent from a year earlier. A government diversion program at the end of the 2000 potato marketing year purchased 6.87 million cwt of potatoes that were fed to livestock. Current feeding is more in line with the feed utilization of 3.14 million cwt in 1999. Chip potato use totaled 54.1 million cwt in 2001, up 3 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 150 million cwt of raw potatoes, down 13 percent. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 40.7 million cwt, a drop of 26 percent. Canning use, at 4.31 million cwt, declined 15 percent. Starch, flour and other products were made from 1.16 million cwt of potatoes, down 41 percent from the previous year. Shrinkage and loss was estimated at 31.2 million cwt for 2001, down 29 percent from 2000. Livestock feed on potato farms and home use totaled 1.25 million cwt, a decrease of 16 percent. Growers kept 4.14 million cwt for seed on their own farms, up 9 percent from a year earlier.
