Solid Gain in U.S. Rice Crop
WASHINGTON - Aug 12/10 - SNS -- Rice production in the United States is forecast at 246 million cwt, up 12% from last year, according to the latest crop production estimate from the USDA.
Area for harvest is expected to total 3.49 million acres, unchanged from the June Acreage report but up 13% from 2009. Planted area, at 3.51 million acres, is also unchanged from the June estimate.
The average United States yield is forecast at 7,039 pounds per acre, down 46 pounds from last year. Expected yields are up from last year in all States except California and Texas. If realized, new record-high yields will be achieved in Louisiana and Missouri.
As of August 1, 65% of the United States acreage was headed, 26 percentage points ahead of last year and 18 points ahead of the 5-year average. Seventy-two% of the United States acreage was rated in good to excellent condition as of August 1, compared with 62% rated in these two categories a year earlier. Crop development was well ahead of normal in all States except California and Texas. In California, wet field conditions and spring rainstorms delayed planting, and in Texas, high winds and little rain made it difficult to get a good stand.
