2015 Dry Edible Bean Market Summary

February 18, 2016February 18, 2016 / Vitto

Bean Prices Go Back To The Future

The United States Department of Agriculture has published their annual dry edible bean market summary. The report is quite lengthy and we will not be commenting on it’s entirety, just the meat and potatoes part. Please click here to view a portion of the 2015 Dry Edible Bean Summary. Starting with the first chart we can see North Dakota and Minnesota dealer monthly average prices over the past five years. We have highlighted in pink the highest prices offered by dealers and highlighted in yellow the lowest prices.

So going back to the 2011-2012 dry edible bean season you can plainly see prices hitting all time highs…peaking out about $61-62 dollars /CWT, FOB – North Dakota / Minnesota. Since then, price action has trended downward towards the lows at about $25 / CWT. On the second chart we take a look at Northern Colorado dealers and the values extracted during the 2011-2012 season. Rocky mountain dealers were about $3-$5 higher than the peak values of their competitors in the Upper Midwest. However, price action has also trended lower from the lofty $60’s down towards current values to just above $30.

The last two pages I have attached to this post show monthly prices for each crop year (previous 5 years) on pinto beans, great northerns, black beans, pink beans, and garbanzo. Remember the pink highlighted numbers indicate the highs and the yellow highlighted prices indicate the lows.

Now go back to the first two charts showing pinto bean prices over the past five years. This is actually a beautiful chart to look at (depending on your perspective of course). At the moment, pinto bean growers are probably puking when they see this chart because of where pinto bean prices are currently trading at, but…had this chart been back in 2011-2012 and shown the previous five dry edible bean market years from 2006 through 2012.. it would be the most beautiful looking price chart any pinto bean grower could ever want to see! (No matter where prices trade at, perspective is always different)

The reason the chart is beautiful is not because prices are low now, but because it’s so obvious to see all time high’s versus all time low’s. The big ginormous gap in the middle between the low’s and high’s is where pinto bean growers can expect prices to get back to the future. The reason growers can expect pinto bean prices to go higher (not necessarily in the short term) but in the long term is because of a mathematical phenomenon known as “mean reversion” which happens in every market on earth…no matter what type of commodity is being discussed or traded.

What is the ‘Mean Reversion’

The mean reversion is the theory suggesting that prices and returns eventually move back towards the mean or average. This mean or average can be the historical average of the price or return or another relevant average such as the growth in the economy or the average return of an industry.

Bottom line: That being said, it’s obvious to anyone who is not ignorant prices will revert back to their proper averages in given time. The only uncertainty is when and how fast prices will revert back.

Statistical Methodology

Survey Procedures: Crop progress and condition estimates are based on survey data collected each week from early April through the end of November. The non-probability crop progress and condition surveys include input from approximately 4,000 respondents whose occupations provide them opportunities to make visual observations and frequently bring them in contact with farmers in their counties. Based on standard definitions, these respondents subjectively estimate the progress of crops through various stages of development, as well as the progress of producer activities. They also provide subjective evaluations of crop conditions.

Most respondents complete their questionnaires on Friday or early Monday morning and submit them to the National Agricultural Statistics Service

(NASS) Field Offices in their States by mail, telephone, fax, e-mail, or through a secured internet website. A small number of reports are completed on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday. Regardless of when questionnaires are completed, respondents are asked to report for the entire week ending on Sunday. For reports submitted prior to the Sunday reference date, a degree of uncertainty is introduced by projections for weekend changes in progress and condition. By the end of the 2012 season, over 90 percent of the data were being submitted through the internet website. As a result, the majority of all data are submitted on Monday morning, significantly reducing projection uncertainty.

Respondents are sent written reporting instructions at the beginning of each season and are contacted periodically to ensure proper reporting. Terms and definitions of crop stages and condition categories used as reporting guidelines are available on the NASS website at www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/National_Crop_Progress.

Estimating Procedures: Reported data are reviewed for reasonableness and consistency by comparing with data reported the previous week and data reported in surrounding counties for the current week. Each State Field Office summarizes the reported data to district and State levels, weighting each county’s reported data by NASS county acreage estimates. Summarized indications are compared with previous week estimates, and progress items are compared with earlier stages of development and historical averages to ensure reasonableness. Weather events and respondent comments are also taken into consideration. State estimates are submitted to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB) along with supporting comments, where they are compared with surrounding States and compiled into a National level summary by weighting each State by its acreage estimates.

Revision Policy: Progress and condition estimates in the Crop Progress report are released after 4:00 pm ET on the first business day of the week. These estimates are subject to revision the following week.

Weekly USDA Crop Production

November 8, 2013 / Vitto

Crop Production

ISSN: 1936-3737

Released November 8, 2013, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service
(NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA).

Special Note
This report contains estimates and forecasts that were originally scheduled
for release in the October report. This includes updated planted and
harvested acreage for dry edible beans, canola, corn, sorghum, soybeans and
sunflowers. Also included are revised peanut and sunflower acreage, yield and
production for 2012, as well as indicated 2013/2014 production forecasts for
citrus fruits as of November 1.

Due to the cancellation of the 2013 October Crop Production report, there are
no October 1 yield forecasts to include in this report.

Small Grain Update
Survey respondents who reported barley, oats, Durum wheat, or other spring
wheat acreage as not yet harvested in Montana and North Dakota during the
surveys conducted in preparation for the Small Grains 2013 Summary, released
September 30, 2013, were re-contacted in late October to determine how many
of those acres were actually harvested and record the actual production from
those acres. Based on this updated information, several changes were made to
the estimates published in the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Because unharvested
production is a component of on-farm stocks, changes were made to the
September 1 on-farm stocks levels comparable with the production adjustments.

Corn Production Up 1 Percent from September Forecast
Soybean Production Up 3 Percent
Cotton Production Up 2 Percent
Orange Production Down 5 Percent from Last Season

Corn production is forecast at 14.0 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the
previous forecast and up 30 percent from 2012. If realized, this will be a
new record production for the United States. Based on conditions as of
November 1, yields are expected to average 160.4 bushels per acre, up
5.1 bushels from the previous forecast and 37.0 bushels above the 2012
average. If realized, this will be the highest average yield since 2009. Area
harvested for grain is forecast at 87.2 million acres, down 2 percent from
the previous forecast and down slightly from 2012.

Soybean production is forecast at 3.26 billion bushels, up 3 percent from the
previous forecast and up 7 percent from last year. If realized, production
will be the third largest on record. Based on November 1 conditions, yields
are expected to average 43.0 bushels per acre, up 1.8 bushels from the
previous forecast and up 3.2 bushels from 2012. Area for harvest in the
United States is forecast at 75.7 million acres, down 1 percent from both the
previous forecast and last year.

All cotton production is forecast at 13.1 million 480-pound bales, up
2 percent from the September forecast but down 24 percent from last year.
Yield is expected to average 808 pounds per harvested acre, up 79 pounds from
last year. Upland cotton production is forecast at 12.5 million
480-pound bales, down 25 percent from 2012. Pima cotton production, forecast
at 625,500 bales, was carried forward from the previous forecast.

The United States all orange forecast for the 2013-2014 season is
7.96 million tons, down 5 percent from the 2012-2013 final utilization. The
Florida all orange forecast, at 125 million boxes (5.63 million tons), is
down 6 percent from last season’s final utilization. Early, midseason, and
Navel varieties in Florida are forecast at 58.0 million boxes (2.61 million
tons), down 14 percent from last season. The Florida Valencia orange
forecast, at 67.0 million boxes (3.02 million tons), is up 1 percent from
last season’s final utilization. The early months of 2013 brought little
precipitation and average temperatures to the citrus growing region.
Significant rainfall returned in late spring and slowly eliminated drought
conditions by the first week in July. Seasonal temperatures coupled with
above average precipitation continued throughout the summer months and kept
citrus groves drought free through mid-October. California’s Navel orange
crop is getting underway with growers expecting good quality fruit.

Florida frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) yield forecast for the
2013-2014 season is 1.60 gallons per box at 42.0 degrees Brix, up
1 percent from last season’s final yield of 1.59 gallons per box. Projected
yield from the 2013-2014 Early-Midseason and Valencia varieties will be
published in the January Crop Production report. All projections of yield
assume the processing relationships this season will be similar to those of
the past several seasons.

Fall Potato Varieties Planted

The National Agricultural Statistics Service collects variety data in seven
States, accounting for 80 percent of the 2013 United States fall potato
planted acres. The seven States conduct objective yield surveys where all
producing areas are sampled in proportion to planted acreage. Variety data
shown below are actual percentages from these surveys.

2013 Potato Objective Yield Data

The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield
surveys in seven fall potato-producing States during 2013. Sample plots were
located in potato fields randomly selected using a scientifically designed
sampling procedure. Field workers recorded counts and measurements within the
field and then harvested six hills per sample. Potatoes were sent to
laboratories for sizing and grading according to accepted United States fresh
grading standards. Data in these tables are rounded actual field counts from
this survey.

October Weather Summary

An early-month Black Hills blizzard-devastating to livestock-headlined an
active weather pattern across the north-central United States. A storm during
the first week of October, affected a multi-state area. Western South Dakota
was hit hardest and killed thousands of animals in the higher elevations. An
additional two storms in western South Dakota hampered recovery efforts due
to heavy rain and more snow.

Farther east, however, Midwestern producers had enough time between storms to
harvest nearly half (47 percent) of the United States and about two-thirds
(66 percent) of the soybeans during the 4-week period ending October 27.
Overall the United States harvest progress by October 27 was 59 percent for
corn and 77 percent for soybeans. Toward month’s end, the soybean harvest was
nearing completion in upper Midwestern States such as Nebraska (94 percent)
and Minnesota (91 percent), despite wetter-than-normal October conditions.

Most of the Plains received enough autumn moisture to promote winter wheat
emergence and establishment, leading to favorable early-season crop
conditions. Nearly two-thirds (61%) of the United States wheat was rated in
good to excellent condition on October 27, although pockets of dryness were a
concern on the southern High Plains.

Meanwhile, dry weather returned across much of the West during October,
following the previous month’s exceptional rainfall. Flood recovery efforts
proceeded in Colorado, while mild, dry conditions fostered Northwestern
winter wheat growth. In addition, dry weather favored fieldwork, including
cotton harvesting, in California and the Southwest.

Elsewhere, generally dry weather accompanied near- to above-normal
temperatures in the Southeastern and North Atlantic States, while a single,
slow-moving storm prior to midmonth triggered heavy rain in the Mid-Atlantic
region. Southeastern fieldwork included winter wheat planting and cotton,
peanut, and soybean harvesting.

October Agricultural Summary

Cooler than normal temperatures blanketed the western half of the United
States during October while near-normal temperatures covered the eastern half
of the country. Precipitation was above normal throughout the northern Great
Plains, western Corn Belt, western Ohio Valley, and east Texas. In some of
these areas, precipitation was over 300 percent of normal which resulted in
delays in crop harvest. By the end of the month, cooler and dryer weather
conditions promoted rapid fieldwork in the northern Great Plains and western
Corn Belt.

By September 29, sixty-three percent of the corn crop was mature,
30 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the
5-year average. Five percent of Iowa’s corn crop had been harvested for at
this time, two weeks behind normal. Nationally, 12 percent of the crop was
harvested, 40 percentage points behind last year and 11 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. By the third week of the month, 94 percent of the
corn crop was mature, 6 percentage points behind last year and slightly
behind the 5-year average. Thirty-five percent of Iowa’s corn crop had been
harvested by October 20, fifteen percentage points behind normal. Nationally,
39 percent of the corn was harvested by the third week of the month,
46 percentage points behind last year and 14 percentage points behind the
5-year average. By November 3, seventy-three percent of the corn was
harvested, 22 percentage points behind last year but 2 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year.

Sixty-seven percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the leaf-dropping
stage by September 29, sixteen percentage points behind last year and
7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. In Minnesota, 73 percent of
the crop was at or beyond the leaf-dropping stage at this time, an increase
of 27 percentage points from the previous week. Nationally, 11 percent of the
soybean crop was harvested by September 29, twenty-eight percentage points
behind last year and 9 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
Ninety-four percent of the crop was at or beyond the leaf-dropping stage by
October 20, four percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. Nationally, 63 percent of the soybean crop was
harvested by the third week of the month, 16 percentage points behind last
year and 6 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Eighty-six percent of
the soybean crop was harvested by November 3, six percentage points behind
last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average.

Nationwide, 59 percent of the cotton crop had open bolls by September 29,
eighteen percentage points behind last year and 12 percentage points behind
the 5-year average. Cotton in the Northern and Southern Plains of Texas
progressed but development remained slightly behind normal. By September 29,
seven percent of the cotton crop was harvested, 6 percentage points behind
last year and 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By the third
week of the month, 81 percent of the cotton crop had open bolls,
12 percentage points behind last year and 11 percentage points behind the
5-year average. By October 20, twenty-one percent of the cotton crop was
harvested, 15 percentage points behind last year and 13 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. By November 3, forty-three percent of the cotton
crop was harvested, 18 percentage points behind last year and 11 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 43 percent of the cotton crop was
reported in good to excellent condition as of November 3.

By September 29, fifty-three percent of the sorghum crop had reached
maturity, 5 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind
the 5-year average. Nationally, 36 percent of the sorghum crop had been
harvested by this time, two percentage points behind last year but slightly
ahead of the 5-year average. By the third week of the month, 85 percent of
the crop had reached maturity, slightly behind last year but 2 percentage
points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 54 percent of the sorghum
crop had been harvested by October 20, identical to last year but
2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By November 3,
seventy-five percent of the sorghum crop had been harvested, 2 percentage
points behind last year but 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

By September 29, producers had sown 39 percent of the Nation’s intended
2014 winter wheat acreage, slightly ahead of last year’s pace but slightly
behind the 5-year average. Nationally, 12 percent of the winter wheat was
emerged by this time, identical to the same time last year but 3 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. By the third week of the month, producers
had sown 79 percent of the Nation’s intended 2014 acreage, slightly behind
last year’s pace but identical to the 5-year average. Nationally, 53 percent
of the winter wheat was emerged on October 20, five percentage points ahead
of last year but slightly behind the 5-year average. By November 3, producers
had sown 91 percent of the Nation’s intended 2014 acreage, identical to last
year’s pace but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 78 percent
of the winter wheat was emerged by month’s end, 6 percentage points ahead of
last year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall,
63 percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent
condition as of November 3, twenty-four percentage points better than the
same time last year.

Fifty-eight percent of the Nation’s rice crop was harvested by September 29,
seventeen percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind
the 5-year average. Eighty-eight percent of the Nation’s rice crop was
harvested by October 20, two percentage points behind last year but

behind the 5-year average. By November 3, ninety-three percent of the
Nation’s sugarbeet acreage had been harvested, 4 percentage points ahead of
last year and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

Nationwide, 12 percent of the sunflower crop had been harvested by
October 20, fifty-seven percentage points behind last year and 20 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. By November 3, thirty-two percent of the
sunflower crop was harvested, 57 percentage points behind last year and

Crop Comments

Corn: Acreage updates were made in several States based on administrative
data. Total planted area, at 95.3 million acres is down 2 percent from the
previous estimate. Area harvested and to be harvested for grain is forecast
at 87.2 million acres, down 2 percent from the September forecast. Based on
conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 160.4 bushels per
acre. Record yields are forecast for eighteen States in 2013.

As of October 27, the last published corn condition ratings for 2013,
sixty-two percent of the corn acreage was rated in good to excellent
condition in the 18 major producing States.

The November 1 objective yield data indicate a record high number of ears per
acre for the combined 10 objective yield States (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin).
Approximately 6 percent of the sample units laid out for 2013 were harvested
for grain by the producer before the current month’s observations could be
completed. This compares with the five-year average of 2 percent.

As October began, the corn crop continued to lag behind in development
compared with both last year and the 5-year average. On September 29,
sixty-three percent of the nation’s corn crop was mature, 30 percentage
points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
Wet weather across much of the corn belt affected harvest progress with only
12 percent of the crop harvested by the first of the month, 40 percentage
points behind last year’s drought affected crop and 11 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. However, by the third week of the month, the crop
began to make headway as 94 percent of the nation’s corn crop was mature,
slightly behind the 5-year average. Good harvest weather allowed producers to
harvest 73 percent of the corn crop by November 3, twenty-two percentage
points behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

Sorghum: Production is forecast at 416 million bushels, up 5 percent from the
September forecast and up 68 percent from last year. Acreage updates were
made in several States based on administrative data. Planted area, at 8.07
million acres, is up 12 percent from the previous estimate and up 29 percent
from last year. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 6.68 million acres,
up 10 percent from September and up 35 percent from 2012. Based on November 1
conditions, yield is forecast at 62.2 bushels per acre, down 2.9 bushels from
the September forecast but up 12.4 bushels from last year. Record high yields
are forecast in Louisiana and South Dakota, where farmers reported mostly
favorable growing conditions.

As of November 3, seventy-five percent of the sorghum crop had been
harvested, 2 percentage points behind last year but 6 percentage points ahead
of the 5-year average.

Rice: Production is forecast at 189 million cwt, up 2 percent from the
September forecast but down 5 percent from last year. Area for harvest is
expected to total 2.46 million acres, unchanged from September but 8 percent
lower than 2012. Based on conditions as of November 1, the average United
States yield is forecast at a record high 7,660 pounds per acre, up
149 pounds from September and up 211 pounds from last year. Record high
yields are forecast in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi.

By November 3, rice harvest was 98 percent complete, 3 percentage points
ahead of both last year and the 5- year average. Rice harvest was complete in
Texas, Mississippi, and Louisiana at this time.

Soybeans: Acreage updates were made in several States based on administrative
data. Planted area, at 76.5 million acres, is down 1 percent from the
previous estimate. Area for harvest is forecast at 75.7 million acres, down
1 percent from both the previous forecast and last year.

The November objective yield data for the combined 11 major soybean-producing
States (Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota) indicate a higher pod count
compared with last year as conditions have generally been more favorable
across the Midwest. Compared with final counts for 2012, pod counts are up in
nine of the eleven published States. The largest increase from 2012’s final
pod count is expected in South Dakota, up 416 pods per 18 square feet.
Increases of more than 200 pods per 18 square feet are also expected in
Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. Approximately
14 percent of the sample units laid out for 2013 were harvested for beans by
the producer before the current month’s observations could be completed. This
compares with the five-year average of 3 percent.

Soybean harvest in the 18 major States was 11 percent complete at the end of
September, 28 percentage points behind last year’s pace and 9 percentage
points behind normal. Progress was behind normal in all 18 States except for
Arkansas, Louisiana, and Ohio. During the month of October, conditions
allowed progress to advance enough to reach the normal pace. As of
November 3, eighty-six percent of the crop was harvested, 6 percentage points
behind last year’s pace but 1 percentage point ahead of normal. Only
Kentucky and Tennessee were behind normal by more than 10 percentage points.

If realized, the forecasted yield will be a record high in Arkansas, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee.

Cotton: Upland harvested area is expected to total 7.58 million acres,
unchanged from the previous forecast but down 17 percent from 2012. Pima
harvested area, at 198,800 acres, was carried forward from the previous
forecast.

As of November 3, forty-three percent of the cotton had been harvested,
compared with 61 percent at this time last year. Ninety-five percent of the
crop had bolls opening by November 3, three percentage points behind last
year and two percentage points behind the 5-year average.

Harvesting activities progressed in the Southeast throughout the month.
Record high yields are forecast in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New
Mexico.

Ginnings totaled 3,172,650 running bales on November 1, 2013, compared with
6,433,750 running bales ginned the same date last year.

Peanuts: Production is forecast at 3.90 billion pounds, up 5 percent from the
September forecast but down 42 percent from last year’s revised production of
6.76 billion pounds. Area for harvest is expected to total 1.03 million
acres, unchanged from September but 36 percent lower than 2012. Based on
conditions as of November 1, the average yield for the United States is
forecast at 3,787 pounds per acre, up 184 pounds from September but down 430
pounds from the record high set last year. Oklahoma is the only State
expecting a record high yield in 2013.

As of November 3, eighty-four percent of the United States acreage was
harvested, 2 percentage points behind last year but 6 percentage points ahead
of the 5-year average. Weather conditions were ideal for peanut harvesting
during October in most peanut-producing regions.

Sunflower: Area planted, at 1.58 million acres, is up less than 1 percent
from the June estimate but down 18 percent from last year. This is the second
lowest planted area since 1976. Sunflower growers expect to harvest
1.50 million acres, down slightly from June and down 19 percent from 2012. If
realized, harvested area will also be the second lowest since 1976.

No revisions were made to the 2012 sunflower acreage, yield, and production
estimates.

Canola: Area planted, at 1.37 million acres, is up 5 percent from the June
estimate but down 22 percent from last year’s record high. Canola farmers
expect to harvest 1.28 million acres, up 2 percent from June but down
26 percent from 2012. Despite the large decline from last year’s record high,
harvested area will be the third largest since 2002, if realized.

Dry beans: United States dry edible beans revised planted area is estimated
at 1.34 million acres, down 23 percent from the previous year. Harvested area
is forecast at 1.29 million acres, down 24 percent from 2012. Wetter than
normal conditions delayed or prohibited planting in several northern States.

Sugarbeets: Production of sugarbeets for the 2013 crop year is forecast at
32.8 million tons, down 7 percent from last year. Producers expect to harvest
1.18 million acres, unchanged from the previous forecast but down 2 percent
from 2012. Expected yield is forecast at 27.7 tons per acre, a decrease of
1.6 tons from last year.

Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2013 is forecast at
32.1 million tons, down slightly from last year. Producers intend to harvest
905,600 acres for sugar and seed during the 2013 crop year, up 3,200 acres
from last year. Expected yield for sugar and seed is forecast at 35.4 tons
per acre, down slightly from 2012.

Lentils: Production of lentils is forecast at 4.37 million cwt, down
18 percent from last year. Area for harvest is forecast at 331,000 acres,
down 26 percent from the previous year. Average yield is expected to be 1,321
pounds per acre, up 143 pounds from 2012.

In North Dakota, planting began in early-May, about three weeks behind last
year’s pace due to wintry conditions. Planting was complete by mid-July,
about 6 weeks behind 2012. Harvest started in mid-September and was
essentially finished by October 20, about three weeks behind the average
pace. In Montana, cooler wet spring conditions delayed planting and crop
development remained behind a normal pace.

Dry edible peas: Production of dry edible peas is forecast at 15.6 million
cwt, up 43 percent from last year. Planted area, at 840,000 acres, and
harvested area, at 782,000 acres, increased by 29 percent and 26 percent,
respectively. Average yield is expected to be 1,995 pounds per acre, up
244 pounds from 2012.

In Montana, producers began harvest in late-July and were finished by
mid-September. In North Dakota, planting was 95 percent complete by June 30.
Harvest started in early-August and was 97 percent finished by the week
ending September 15. Crop condition was rated mostly fair to good throughout
the entire growing season.

Austrian winter peas: Planted area is estimated at 19,000 acres, unchanged
from last year. Area harvested is expected to total 12,100 acres, down
12 percent from last year. Yield, at 1,372 pounds, is up 153 cwt from last
season. Production, at 166,000 cwt, is down 1 percent from 2012.

Small grains: Survey respondents who reported barley, oats, Durum wheat, or
other spring wheat acreage as not yet harvested in Montana and North Dakota
during the surveys conducted in preparation for the Small Grains 2013 Summary
were re-contacted in late October to determine how many of the acres were
actually harvested and record the actual production from those acres. Based
on this updated information, several changes were made to the estimates
published in the Small Grains 2013 Summary. Because unharvested production is
a component of on-farm stocks, changes were made to the September 1 on-farm
stocks levels comparable with the production adjustments.

Other spring wheat harvested area was reduced from the Small Grains
2013 Summary in Montana. As a result of this change and a yield change in
North Dakota, other spring wheat production in the United States is estimated
at 534 million bushels, up slightly from the Small Grains 2013 Summary.

Durum harvested area was unchanged from the Small Grains 2013 Summary. As a
result of a yield change in North Dakota, Durum wheat production in the
United States is estimated at 61.9 million bushels, up slightly from the
Small Grains 2013 Summary.

All wheat production in the United States is estimated at 2.13 billion
bushels, up slightly from the Small Grains 2013 Summary.

Oat harvested area and yield were reduced from the Small Grains 2013 Summary
in Montana. As a result of these changes, oat production in the United States
is estimated at 65.9 million bushels, down slightly from the Small Grains
2013 Summary.

Barley harvested area, yield, and production were unchanged from the Small
Grains 2013 Summary.

Grapefruit: The 2013-2014 United States grapefruit crop is forecast at
1.13 million tons, down 5 percent from last season’s final utilization. In
Florida, fruit per tree is forecast to be higher than previous season.
However, projected droppage is expected to be above average, while average
size is expected to be below the minimum for white grapefruit and close to
the minimum for colored grapefruit.

Lemons: The forecast for the 2013-2014 United States lemon crop is
931,000 tons, up 2 percent from last season’s final utilization. In
California, the lemon harvest is progressing ahead of normal. Demand,
especially for export, continues to be excellent. In Arizona, the quality of
lemons is reportedly fair while demand continues to exceed supply.

Tangelos: Florida’s tangelo forecast is 1.00 million boxes (45,000 tons),
unchanged from last season’s final utilization. The forecasted fruit per tree
is up from last year. Fruit size is expected to be near the minimum with
droppage projected to be above average.

Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is
forecast at 726,000 tons, up 6 percent from the 2012-2013 crop. In
California, satsuma mandarin and tangerine harvests remained active. In
Florida, fruit per tree is forecast to be higher than last season. Fruit size
is projected to be above average for the Fallglo variety, near the minimum
for the Sunburst variety, and below average for the Honey variety. Droppage
is expected to be above average for the Sunburst and Honey varieties, but
average for the Fallglo variety.

Florida citrus: High temperatures for the month ranged from the mid 90s to
the mid to upper 80s by month’s end. Rainfall was scattered and generally
light as the dry season began. The citrus producing regions remained drought
free until the last week of the month, when abnormally dry conditions were
observed in all but the western area. Field workers reported that trees and
fruit in cared-for-groves look very good due to rainfall over the past
months. Fruit size reports appear to be inconsistent with some areas
reporting oranges slightly larger than golf balls and others closer to
baseball size. Grapefruit size was reported as larger than oranges. Grove
activity included resetting of new trees in active groves, pushing of dead
groves and replanting new citrus, mowing, fertilizing, and psyllid control.
About 70 percent of the packinghouses have opened and began shipping small
quantities of fruit. Only seven out of nineteen processing plants were
reported open so far this season.

California citrus: Satsuma mandarin and tangerine harvests remained active.
Navel orange harvest increased and maturity tests looked good. Lemon harvest
was ongoing in the Imperial and San Joaquin Valleys. Oroblanco grapefruit and
pomelo harvests continued. Quarantines were ongoing in Tulare County for
Asian Citrus Psyllid.

California noncitrus fruits and nuts: Harvested fruit orchards and vineyards
were irrigated and pruned. Fig harvest was complete. Pomegranate harvest
continued. Pear harvest was nearly complete and Asian pear harvest continued.
Apple harvest remained active, including the Fuji, Granny Smith, and Pink
Lady varieties. Kiwi and persimmon harvests began. Peach, nectarine, and plum
harvests were complete, except for some late variety plums. Stone fruit
orchards that had completed harvest were undergoing pruning, topping, and
general orchard cleanup. Olive harvest was ongoing for both oil and table
varieties. Avocado harvest was drawing to a close. Raisin grape harvest was
nearly complete. Late variety wine and table grapes continued to be
harvested. Almond harvest was nearly complete. Pistachio and walnut harvests
were slowing. Harvested nut orchards were irrigated, fertilized, and pruned.

Fall potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2013 is forecast at
402 million cwt, down 4 percent from last year. Area harvested, at
936,100 acres, is 5 percent below the previous year. The average yield
forecast, at 429 cwt per acre, is up 6 cwt from last year’s yield.

In Idaho, growers are expecting a record high yield, while harvested acreage
is estimated to be 8 percent lower than 2012. Growers in Maine reported
excessive moisture that stressed the developing crop and led to storage
problems. In New York, growers reported harvest losses due to excessively wet
conditions.

All potatoes: Total United States potato production in 2013 from all seasons
is forecast at 440 million cwt, 5 percent below 2012. Harvested area, at
1.05 million acres, is down 7 percent from last year. Average yield is
forecast at 418 cwt per acre, up 9 cwt from the previous year.

Statistical Methodology

Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted
between October 25 and November 5 to gather information on expected yield as
of November 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton, and soybeans
were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for about
80 percent of the United States production. Randomly selected plots were
revisited to make current counts. The counts made within each sample plot
depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, plant counts
are recorded along with other measurements that provide information to
forecast the number of ears, bolls, or pods and their weight. The counts are
used with similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological
yield. The average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. The
plots are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is
harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample
field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss.

The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use
of mail, internet, and personal interviewers. Approximately 10,000 producers
were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable
yield.

Estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower
reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with
historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather
patterns and crop progress compared to previous months and previous years.
Each State Field Office submits their analysis of the current situation to
the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the
State analyses to prepare the published November 1 forecasts.

Revision policy: The November 1 production forecast will not be revised;
instead, a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing
season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the
marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks,
production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then
made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant
changes. Estimates of planted acres for spring planted crops are subject to
revision in the August Crop Production report if conditions altered the
planting intentions since the mid-year survey. Current year, planted acres
may also be revised for cotton, peanuts, and rice in the September Crop
Production report each year; spring wheat, Durum wheat, barley, and oats only
in the Small Grains Summary report at the end of September; and all other
spring planted crops in the October Crop Production report. Revisions to
planted acres will only be made when either special survey data,
administrative data, such as Farm Service Agency program “sign up” data, or
remote sensing data are available. Harvested acres may be revised any time a
production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended
harvested area has changed since the last forecast.

Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the November 1
production forecast, the “Root Mean Square Error,” a statistical measure
based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the November 1
production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of
the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the
latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes
statistically the “Root Mean Square Error.” Probability statements can be
made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year’s
forecast are not different from those influencing recent years. For example,
the “Root Mean Square Error” for the November 1 corn for grain production
forecast is 1.2 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by
more than 1.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level)
that the difference will not exceed 2.0 percent.

Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of
the differences between the November 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using
corn again as an example, changes between the November 1 forecast and the
final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 97.0 million bushels,
ranging from 26.0 million bushels to 214 million bushels. The November 1
forecast has been below the final estimate 8 times and above 12 times. This
does not imply that the November 1 corn forecast this year is likely to
understate or overstate final production.

Depicts large-scale trends based on subjectively derived probabilities guided by short- and

long-range statistical and dynamical forecasts. Short-term events — such as individual storms —

cannot be accurately forecast more than a few days in advance. Use caution for applications

— such as crops — that can be affected by such events. “Ongoing” drought areas are

approximated from the Drought Monitor (D1 to D4 intensity).

For weekly drought updates, see the latest U.S. Drought Monitor.

NOTE: The tan area areas imply at least a 1-category improvement in the Drought Monitor

intensity levels by the end of the period although drought w

ill remain.

The Green areas imply drought removal by the end of the period (D0 or none)

Agricultural Prices by NASS & USDA

September 28, 2013 / Vitto

Agricultural Prices ISSN: 1937-4216 Released September 27, 2013, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Special Note USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service is suspending a number of statistical surveys and reports for the remainder of the fiscal year resulting from reduced funding. Suspended commodity programs impacting the Agricultural Prices report are non-citrus fruit, tree nuts, vegetables, and milk cow replacement prices. Check the NASS website at http://www.nass.usda.gov for any future updates to these programs September Farm Prices Received Index Declined 4 Points The preliminary All Farm Products Index of Prices Received by Farmers in September, at 185 percent, based on 1990-1992=100, decreased 4 points (2.1 percent) from August. The Crop Index is down 8 points (3.7 percent) and the Livestock Index decreased 1 point (0.6 percent). Producers received lower prices for corn, hogs, and wheat and higher prices for calves, milk, and cattle. In addition to prices, the overall index is also affected by the seasonal change based on a 3-year average mix of commodities producers sell. Increased monthly movement of soybeans, corn, potatoes, and hogs offset the decreased marketing of wheat, cattle, cotton, and broilers. The preliminary All Farm Products Index is down 10 points (5.1 percent) from September 2012. The Food Commodities Index, at 181, is unchanged from last month but decreased 1 point (0.5 percent) from September 2012. Prices Paid Index Down 3 Points The September Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW) is 213 percent of the 1990-1992 average. The index is down 3 points (-1.4 percent) from August and 4 points (-1.8 percent) below September 2012. Lower prices in September for concentrates, nitrogen, feed grains, and mixed fertilizer offset higher prices for feeder cattle, diesel, LP gas, and feeder pigs.

Reliability of Prices Received Estimates Definition: Prices received represent sales from producers to first buyers. They include all grades and qualities. The average commodity price from the survey multiplied by the total quantity marketed theoretically should give the total cash receipts for the commodity. Survey procedures: Primary sales data used to determine grain prices were obtained from probability samples of about 1900 mills and elevators. These procedures ensure that virtually all grain moving into commercial channels has a chance of being included in the survey. Generally, States surveyed account for 90 percent or more of total United States production. Livestock prices are obtained from packers, stockyards, auctions, dealers, and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, and state commodity groups and agencies. Inter-farm sales of grain and livestock are not included since they represent very small percentages of the total sales. Grain marketed for seed is also excluded. Fruit and vegetable prices are obtained from sample surveys and market check data from AMS-USDA, private marketing organizations, state agencies, and universities. Summary and estimation procedures: Survey quantities sold are expanded by strata to state levels and used to weight average strata prices to a state average. State prices are then weighted to a United States price based on expanded sales. Recommendations are prepared by the State Field Offices and reviewed by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. State recommendations are reviewed for reasonableness with survey data, other States, and recent historic estimates. Revisions: For most items, the current month’s preliminary price represents a 3-5 day period around the 15th of the month. Previous month’s prices represent actual dollars received for quantities sold during the entire month. Revisions are published in monthly issues of Agricultural Prices. Reliability: United States price estimates based on probability surveys generally have a sampling error of less than one percent for the major commodities such as corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, and rice. Current methods of summarization for non-probability commodities are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors at around five percent. Any non- sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non-sampling errors. Prices Paid by Farmers The September Index of Prices Paid for Commodities and Services, Interest, Taxes, and Farm Wage Rates (PPITW), at 213 (1990-1992=100), is down 1.4 percent from August and down 1.8 percent from September 2012. Production index: The September index, at 224, decreased 2.2 percent from last month and 3.4 percent from last year. Lower prices in September for concentrates, nitrogen, feed grains, and mixed fertilizer more than offset higher prices for feeder cattle, diesel, LP gas, and feeder pigs. Feed: The September index, at 237, decreased 7.1 percent from August and decreased 17 percent from last September. Since August, prices for concentrates, feed grains, complete feeds, supplements, and hay & forages are lower. Livestock and poultry: The September index, at 174, increased 1.8 percent from last month and 11 percent from last year. Since August, prices for feeder cattle and feeder pigs are higher. The September feeder cattle price, at $153.90 per cwt, is up $2.20 per cwt from the August price. September feeder pigs averaged $142.00 per cwt, up $8.00 per cwt from August. Fertilizer: The September index, at 251, is down 10 percent from August and 22 percent below September a year ago. Since August, prices for nitrogen, mixed fertilizer, and potash & phosphate are lower. Chemicals: The September index, at 157, decreased 0.6 percent from August but increased 1.9 percent from last September. Compared with last month, prices for herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides/other are lower. Fuels: The September index, at 366, is up 1.7 percent from a month earlier but 1.3 percent below September 2012. Compared with last month, prices are higher for diesel and LP gas but lower for gasoline. Machinery: The September index, at 263, is unchanged from August but 1.5 percent above last September. Compared with last month, prices for self- propelled machinery are lower. Consumer price index: The August 2013 Consumer Price Index, as issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for all urban consumers (CPI-U) increased 0.1 percent before seasonal adjustment to a level of 233.877 (1982-1984=100). The July index is 233.596. For the 12 month period ending in August, the overall index increased 1.5 percent.

Conceptually, the average price when multiplied by quantity purchased should equal total producer expenditures for the item. Survey procedures: The prices paid data are obtained from establishments that sell goods and services to farmers and ranchers. Annually, about 8,500 firms are randomly selected from lists by type of item sold with an average response rate in the range of 75-80 percent. Firms are asked to report the price for the specified item “most commonly bought by farmers” or that was the “volume seller”. Approximately 135 items are surveyed each March to represent all production input items purchased. The survey reference period for most items is the five business days centered at the 15th of the month. Separate prices paid surveys are conducted for agricultural chemicals, fuels, feed, fertilizer, machinery, and seed. Summary and estimation procedures: The annual March Prices Paid Survey is summarized as a non-probability survey. Average prices reported are aggregated to the region and United States level using weights available from expenditure data and other administrative sources. Price recommendations are prepared by the State Field Offices and Headquarters for review by the Agricultural Statistics Board in Washington, D.C. Also, the change in price level for individual items surveyed are combined to the regional and United States levels, and are published as prices paid indexes referenced to a specific base period. Prices paid indexes for new autos and trucks, building materials, farm supplies, motor supplies, and marketing containers are updated based on price changes measured in selected Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) indexes. Revisions: Any revisions are published in the monthly and in annual issues of Agricultural Prices. The basis for revision must be supported by additional data that directly affect the level of the estimate. More revisions are likely for March when separate prices paid surveys are conducted, in lieu of BLS indexes, by the USDA to measure price change. Reliability: Current methods of summarization for the March data are not designed directly to calculate sampling errors. However, analytical measures approximate the United States relative sampling errors for major items around 10 percent. Any non-sampling errors are attributed to such things as the inability to obtain correct information, differences in interpreting questions or definitions, mistakes in coding or processing the data, etc. Efforts are made at each step in the survey process to minimize these non- sampling errors. Program change: Effective January 1, 1995, the National Agricultural Statistics Service updated the weights and changed the construction of its prices paid and received by farmers’ indexes. A Federal Register Notice dated October 28, 1994 discussed these program modifications. A 1990-1992 reference and base period replaced the 1977 reference and 1971- 1973 base weight period. Five-year moving average weights replaced the current fixed 1971-1973 base period weights. The 1910-1914=100 price indexes, required by statute for computing parity prices, were linked forward based on the changes in the new 1990-1992=100 indexes. The new indexes were constructed by multiplying the ratios of the current prices to the base period prices by the moving average weights (adjusted for seasonal marketing patterns for the prices received indexes).
