This is the blurb from the official USDA site  |
Fall Potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2000 is forecast at a record high 463 million cwt, up 7 percent from comparable estimates last year and 2 percent above the previous record in 1996. Area harvested, at 1.19 million acres, is up a comparable 2 percent from last year. The average yield is forecast at 388 cwt per acre, a jump of 19 cwt from last year. Comparability is achieved by combining Nebraska's 1999 summer and fall crops and dropping Wyoming's estimate. Record large crops were produced in Idaho, Montana, and Washington. Yields were record high in 13 States. Hot weather during the summer growing months pushed size profiles and yields to high levels in many of the western States. The north central States lost several thousand acres to flood damage in late June with some additional blight and frost losses late in the season. Eastern areas were slow to plant because of a wet, cool spring. Generally the growing season went well and harvest finished on a timely manner. All Potatoes: Total U. S. potato production in 2000 hit a record high 509 million cwt, up 7 percent from last year and 2 percent above the previous high in 1996. Harvested acreage, at 1.35 million acres, was up 2 percent from last year. Yields were up 17 cwt from 1999. Five Eastern States produced 28.4 million cwt of fall potatoes in 2000, down fractionally from last year and 4 percent below two years ago. Area for harvest totaled 101,300 acres, down 4 percent from last year. The average yield of 281 cwt per acre was up 11 cwt from last year and 10 cwt above 1998. Production in Maine gained 1 percent and Rhode Island rose 2 percent from last year. Pennsylvania's production was up 14 percent, but New York and Massachusetts output fell 9 percent each. Eight Central States production is forecast at 111 million cwt this year, a gain of 3 percent from last year and 1 percent above two years ago. Harvest was taken from 337,700 acres, up 1 percent from 1999, while the average yield of 328 cwt per acre was up 7 cwt from a year ago. Production in Minnesota was up 20 percent from last year with an increase in harvested acreage and higher yields. North Dakota's production increased 2 percent from last year despite acreage losses from flooding in June. Wisconsin and Nebraska production were down 1 percent each because of lower harvested acreage. Michigan's crop was equal to last year. Production in Indiana was down 15 percent and South Dakota's dropped 18 percent with frost damage observed in both States at the end of the season. Ten Western States produced 324 million cwt of potatoes in 2000, up 10 percent
from the last two years. Acreage harvested, at 755,400 acres, was up
3 percent, as the average yield jumped 24 cwt. Idaho potato farmers produced a
record high 152 million cwt, up 14 percent from a year ago. Washington hit a
record high 103 million cwt, a gain of 8 percent. Montana's production was
also record high, 4 percent above 1999. Production in Colorado rose 9 percent
from last year, Nevada is up 10 percent, and Mew Mexico gained 8 percent.
Oregon's potato crop is down 3 percent from last year. California's output is
off 7 percent and Utah dropped 25 percent.
Fall Potatoes: Percent of Varieties Planted, 2000 Crop
The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts variety surveys in 8
States, accounting for 89 percent of the forecasted U. S. fall potato
production. Colorado data are from a growers potato variety survey. The
remaining 7 States conduct Objective Yield Surveys where all producing areas
were sampled in proportion to planted acreage. Variety data shown below are
actual percentages from these surveys.
