Hops Production Inches Lower

WASHINGTON - Jan 12/12 - SNS -- Hops production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2011 totaled 64.8 million pounds, down 1% from the 2010 crop of 65.5 million pounds, according to the USDA's final production estimate for 2011 crops.

Idaho's production increased 10% in 2011. Production in Washington and Oregon decreased 2% and 3%, respectively. Acreage decreased in all three States; 4% in Washington, 9% in Oregon, and 3% in Idaho. However, yields increased in each State. The United States yield, at 2,175 pounds per acre, increased 82 pounds from a year ago.

Washington growers produced 79% of the United States hop crop in 2011. Zeus, Columbus/Tomahawk, Cascade, and Super Galena were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 49% of the State's hop production. In Oregon, Nugget and Willamette were the major varieties, accounting for 58% of the State's hop production.
