Also included are first of the month stocks of potatoes (December through June) for the 15 major fall potato producing States. Monthly prices, farm marketings, varieties of fall potatoes, percent of acreage planted by type, certified seed acres, objective yield results, and size and grade 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, 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. 2004 Potato Production Down Fractionally Total 2004 potato production is estimated at 456 million cwt, down fractionally from the estimate made in the January Annual Crop Summary and less than 1 percent below the 2003 crop. Harvested area, at 1.17 million acres, decreased 7 percent from a year ago. The average yield of 391 cwt per acre is up 24 cwt from 2003 and 29 cwt above the average yield from the 2002 crop. This is a record high yield, 10 cwt above the previous record set in 2000. Seasonal estimates are carried forward from earlier revisions. Winter potato production in 2004 is 4.82 million cwt, an increase of 20 percent from 2003. Harvested area, at 18,500 acres, is up 29 percent from the previous year. The average yield of 260 cwt per acer is down 22 cwt from 2003. Spring potatoes final estimate for 2004, at 22.7 million cwt, decreased 7 percent from the pervious year. Harvested acres, at 72,200, are down 15 percent from 2003. The average yield of 314 cwt per acer is 26 cwt above 2003 and a record high, 14 cwt above the pervious record high set in 1999. Summer potato production is 18.3 million cwt for 2004, down 2 percent from 2003. Harvested area, at 53,900 acres, is down 8 percent from the previous year. The average yield of 340 cwt per acre is a record high, 20 cwt above the previous record high set in 2003. Fall potatoes are finalized at 410 million cwt for 2004, virtually unchanged from the 2003 crop. Area harvested in 2004 is estimated at 1.02 million acres, down 6 percent from a year earlier. The average yield, at 401 cwt per acre, is up 25 cwt from a year earlier and a record high, 9 cwt above the previous record high set in 2000. The value of all potatoes sold in 2004 is estimated at $2.34 billion, down 5 percent from the previous year. The average price, at $5.67 per cwt, is down $0.22 from a year earlier. Sales from the 2004 potato crop totaled 414 million cwt, down 1 percent from 2003. Sales account for 91 percent of 2004 production. Non-sales account for 42.2 million cwt, 3 percent above 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 259 million cwt of raw potatoes from the 2004 crop, up 1 percent from a year earlier. Table stock sales totaled 130 million cwt, 2 percent below the previous year. Seed sales of 22.9 million cwt are down 7 percent from 2003. Sales for livestock feed, at 1.94 million cwt, are down 3 percent from a year earlier. Potatoes used for chips and shoestrings totaled 50.1 million cwt in 2004, down 5 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen products utilized 155 million cwt of raw potatoes, up 3 percent. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled 48.5 million cwt, virtually unchanged from 2003. Canning use, at 3.84 million cwt, fell 10 percent. Starch, flour, and other products were made from 1.53 million cwt of potatoes, 11 percent above the previous year. Shrinkage and loss is estimated at 37.4 million cwt for 2004, up 6 percent from 2003. Potatoes used for livestock feed on farms where grown and home use totaled 1.18 million cwt, 23 percent below the previous season. Growers kept 3.61 million cwt for seed on their own farms, down 10 percent from a year earlier.

Sample plots were located in potato fields that were selected on a random basis using a scientifically designed sampling procedure. Field workers recorded counts and measurements. Survey data from the objective yield counts are presented in the following two tables. They are provided to show information about the crop and trends in production.
