Crop Comments Oats: The 2009 production is estimated at 93.3 million bushels, up 5 percent from last year's record low production. A record high yield is estimated at 67.6 bushels per acre, up 3.9 bushels from the previous year. Area planted to oats is estimated at 3.40 million acres, up 5 percent from the record low set in 2008. This is the second lowest planted acreage on record. Harvested area is estimated at a record low 1.38 million acres, 2 percent below last year. The largest decline occurred in Texas, where area harvested for grain decreased 40,000 acres from last year. In California, favorable growing conditions led to a 25 bushel increase in yield from last year and set a record high yield for the State. In North Dakota and Wyoming, producers reported large increases of 18 bushels and 14 bushels per acre, respectively, while in Georgia, average yield declined 13 bushels from last year. During early spring, planting of the oat crop lagged behind the normal pace. By April 26, growers had planted 61 percent of the acreage, 4 points behind normal. During April, emergence also trailed behind the normal pace. By the end of April, emergence was 37 percent complete, 3 points behind the 5-year average. As of May 24, the crop had advanced to 95 percent planted and 82 percent emerged, 3 and 7 points behind the normal pace, respectively. Through June, crop development was behind normal in most major oat-producing States. As of June 28, sixty-eight percent of the oat acreage was headed, 6 points behind the 5-year average. The crop was most advanced in Texas and Ohio, where 100 percent and 90 percent, respectively, was at or beyond the heading stage. Crop development was particularly behind normal in North Dakota with none of their crop having reached the heading stage, 32 points behind the 5-year average. By August 2, thirty-one percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 20 points behind the normal pace. Harvest in Texas was complete with Nebraska following behind at 71 percent. In North Dakota, harvest had not yet begun and was 20 points behind normal. By August 30, harvest was 85 percent complete in the major producing States, 11 points behind the 5-year average. Harvest progress was the furthest behind in North Dakota and Minnesota, 44 and 21 points behind the 5-year average, respectively. Barley: Production is estimated at 227 million bushels, 10 percent above the August forecast but 5 percent below 2008. Average yield per acre, at 72.8 bushels, is up 7.0 bushels from August and 9.2 bushels from last year and is the highest yield on record since estimates began in 1866. Producers seeded 3.57 million acres for 2009, down 2 percent from June and down 16 percent from last year. This is the second lowest planted acreage on record. Harvested area, at 3.12 million acres, is down slightly from August and 17 percent from 2008. Barley seedings decreased in 2 of the top 3 producing States. Producers in North Dakota seeded 1.21 million acres and harvested 1.14 million acres, down 27 and 26 percent from the previous year, respectively, while producers in Idaho seeded 530,000 acres and harvested 510,000 acres, both down 12 percent from 2008. In Montana, seeded area increased 10,000 acres from 2008, while harvested area decreased 20,000 acres. Minnesota, Oregon, and South Dakota producers set new record lows for seeded acreage, with previous records set in 2006 for all 3 States. Soggy field conditions in April and early May hampered barley seeding and pushed National progress to almost 2 weeks behind normal. Drier fields toward the end of May allowed producers in North Dakota to seed large portions of their barley crop, but overall progress remained slow. As a result, crop emergence started slowly and remained behind the average pace throughout June. Harvest was underway in the 5 major barley-producing States by August 9, but the pace was 28 percentage points behind normal. Crop conditions remained better than last year throughout the growing season. On August 30, as harvest approached the halfway point, 78 percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition. Winter Wheat: The 2009 winter wheat production totaled 1.52 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the August forecast and 18 percent below last year. The U.S. yield is 44.2 bushels per acre, unchanged from the August forecast but down 2.9 bushels from the previous year. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 34.5 million acres, down 1 percent from the last forecast and down 13 percent from the previous year. Planted acres were up slightly from 2008 in the Hard Red Winter growing region. Harvested acres were down from last year in most of the major growing States. Adverse weather conditions in Oklahoma and Texas resulted in a decrease in harvested acres from last year. Abandoned acres in Texas are the third highest on record. Yields increased from last year in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. Nebraska's yield of 48.0 bushels per acre is tied for a record high yield. Yields in Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas decreased from 2008. Production increased from 2008 in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska while production fell in Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas. Overall, Hard Red Winter production totaled 919 million bushels, down 11 percent from 2008. Planted and harvested acres decreased across all of the Soft Red Winter growing area. Yields were down from 2008 in Illinois and Missouri but up in Ohio. Production was down from last year in all of the Soft Red Winter growing States. Production was down 38 percent in both Illinois and Missouri but down only 5 percent in Ohio. Overall, Soft Red Winter production is 404 million bushels, down 34 percent from last year when 614 million bushels were produced. White Winter production is 200 million bushels, down 9 percent from last year. Harvested acreage in the Pacific Northwest States (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) is below last year's level. Yields were up from last year in Idaho and Washington but down in Oregon. Other Spring Wheat: Production for 2009 is estimated at 587 million bushels, up 7 percent from the August forecast and 2008. Harvested area is 13.1 million acres, 1 percent below the August forecast and down 3 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is a record high 45.0 bushels per acre, 4.5 bushels higher than last year and 1.8 bushels higher than the previous record set in 2004. Yields are above last year's level in all States except Minnesota, South Dakota, and Utah. North Dakota's yield of 45.5 bushels per acre is also a record high, 3.5 bushels higher than the previous record set in 1992. A cool, wet spring delayed planting in many of the major spring wheat- producing States. The growing season was marked by below normal temperatures and adequate moisture. Crop maturation continued behind normal throughout the growing season. As a result, harvest progress lagged behind the normal in most States in the growing area. As of September 20, only 85 percent of the crop had been harvested, 11 points behind the 5-year average. Durum Wheat: Production for 2009 is estimated at 110 million bushels, up 12 percent from the August forecast and 31 percent higher than 2008. Grain area harvested is 2.52 million acres, up 3 percent from August but down 2 percent from the previous year. The U.S. yield is a record high 43.7 bushels per acre, 11.1 bushels higher than last year and 4.0 bushels higher than the previous record set in 1992. Yields are above last year's level in all States except California. North Dakota's yield of 38.0 bushels per acre ties a record high set in 1992. As of September 20, harvest progress in Montana and North Dakota was behind normal, trailing the 5-year average by 8 and 18 percent, respectively. Rye: Production for 2009 is estimated at 6.99 million bushels, down 12 percent from last year. Harvested area totaled 252,000 acres, down 17,000 acres from 2008. The U.S. yield, at 27.8 bushels per acre, is down 1.9 bushels from last year. Oklahoma's harvested acres and yield are down from 2008 due to freeze and drought.
