AWP Harvest Confirmed at 259,000 BagsWASHINGTON - Jan 12/07 - SNS -- Austrian Winter Pea production in Idaho, Montana, and Oregon for the 2006 season is estimated at 259,000 cwt (100 pound units), equal to the November 1 forecast but 16% below 2005, according to the USDA 's final production estimate fore 2006. Area harvested, at 22,500 acres, is 5% above the previous forecast but 8% below last season. Average yield, at 1,151 pounds per acre, decreased 54 pounds from the November 1 forecast and is 102 pounds below 2005. Hot, dry conditions prevailed in Montana and Oregon for much of the growing season, which lowered both quality and quantity. Many fields were reported to have been plowed under or grazed. Although Idaho's yield is up 200 pounds per acre from last year, a very hot, dry summer had a negative impact on both quality and quantity.
