U.S. AWP Harvest Down From 2005WASHINGTON - Nov 9/06 - SNS -- This year's Austrian Winter pea crop in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon is forecast at 259,000 cwt (100 pound units), down 16% from 2005, according to the USDA's crop production estimates. Area harvested is forecast at 21,500 acres, down 12% from last year. Average yield is expected to be 1,205 pounds per acre, down 48 pounds from last season. Montana's production forecast is 110,000 cwt, down 31% from last year. Harvested area dropped by 2,000 acres to 11,000. Heavy precipitation during late April gave way to light precipitation and temperatures in the mid 70's during May. July and August's temperatures were above normal with limited precipitation, which reduced yield potential. Most of Montana's Austrian winter peas were used for grazing.
