publication.
All Potatoes: Potato growers across the United States have planted
an estimated 1.11 million acres of potatoes in all four seasons
this year, down 7 percent from last year and the lowest since 1866
when record keeping began. Area for harvest, forecasted at
1.09 million acres, is also down 7 percent from a year ago and the
lowest on record. Fall potato planted acreage is down 7 percent
from the 2004 crop year.
The summer potato production forecast is down 12 percent from last
season. Winter and spring production forecasts are being carried
forward from earlier estimates. Winter production is up 5 percent
but spring production is down 20 percent from last year.
Fall Potatoes: Area planted to fall potatoes for 2005 is estimated
at 970,400 acres, down 7 percent from last year and 12 percent
below 2003. Harvested acres are forecast at 955,700, down
7 percent from 2004 and 12 percent below two years ago. This is
the lowest planted and harvested acres since 1957. This reduction
is due in part to economic pressures, industry acreage reduction
programs, and inclement weather at planting.
Western States potato acreage is estimated at 606,200 acres planted
this year, down 6 percent from last year and 9 percent below 2003.
Planting was delayed in most western States due to wet conditions.
Idaho growers dropped their planted acreage 7 percent from last
year. This is the lowest planted acreage for Idaho since 1986.
Washington producers pulled back 4 percent from a year ago.
Colorado growers voluntarily reduced acreage 10 percent this year
for both water conservation and economic reasons. Planted acres in
Oregon were dropped 5 percent. This reduction is due in part to
the closure of a processing plant in the Columbia Basin.
California's fall potato acres are down 5 percent and Nevada's
acres decreased 18 percent. Planted acres for Montana are up
3 percent. New Mexico summer potatoes were combined with fall
potatoes for 2005. Acres are up 2 percent from 2004 for all of New
Mexico's potato acres.
Central States planted an estimated 273,600 acres of fall potatoes
this year, down 6 percent from last year and 18 percent below two
years ago. Cool, wet weather slowed planting in most central
States. North Dakota's planted acreage decreased 14 percent and is
the lowest number of planted acres since 1952. This reduction is
due in part to a decrease in processing acres. Planted acres
dropped 9 percent in Nebraska, 3 percent in Ohio, and 2 percent in
Minnesota from a year ago. Michigan and Wisconsin growers planted
the same amount of acres as last year.
Growers in Eastern States have planted an estimated 90,600 acres of
fall potatoes this year, down 8 percent from last year and
14 percent below the 2003 acreage. Maine's planted acreage is
estimated at 55,500 acres, down 13 percent from last year. Planted
potato acreage in Pennsylvania is down 4 percent, while producers
in New York planted 3 percent more acres. Massachusetts and Rhode
Island's planted acreages are unchanged from 2004. Cool, wet
spring weather delayed planting and has slowed crop progress but
crop quality is expected to be good in these New England States.
Summer Potatoes: Production of summer potatoes is forecast at
16.2 million cwt, a 12 percent decrease from a year ago. If
realized, this would be a record low production since the series
began in 1949, six percent below the previous record low set in
1980. Harvest is expected from a record low acreage of
49,100 acres, 9 percent below last year, the previous record low.
Average yield is forecast at 331 cwt per acre, down 10 cwt from
2004. Eight of the 11 summer potato States expect smaller crops
than they had last year but the potato crops in 2 States are
larger. Maryland growers expect the summer potato crop to be
unchanged from last year.
Illinois' production is expected to be down 27 percent from last
year, followed by Colorado with a decrease of 17 percent.
Delaware's summer potato crop forecast is down 16 percent, while
California expects a 14 percent loss from 2004. Virginia producers
are expecting a 10 percent decrease in production, while Texas is
expecting an 8 percent drop, and growers in New Jersey and Kansas
expect 3 percent and 2 percent decreases, respectively. A larger
potato crop is expected in Alabama, with a 12 percent increase.
Expectations in Missouri are up 1 percent despite an 8 percent
decrease in harvested acres. Missouri's yield is forecast at
340 cwt per acre, 30 cwt above last season. If realized, this
would equal the record high yield of 2001.
Crop conditions in Texas are good and harvest is expected to start
in August. East coast States have had nearly ideal conditions for
vine and tuber development. In Alabama, rain delayed planting
while insect pressures and unfavorable weather are expected to
reduce the quality of the crop. Colorado summer potato development
continues to be behind schedule due to planting delays caused by
uncertainty in irrigation water but the crop condition is mostly
good to fair. Wet conditions in California delayed planting by
three weeks in some areas but the crop has progressed normally
since then. Growers are expecting a late harvest. Harvest is
underway in Missouri's southeastern counties and is expected to
start in the northwestern counties in a couple of weeks.
