No. 431 Julyl, 1961 INDIANA CROPS AND LIVESTOCK U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AGRICULTURAL MARKETING SERVICE AGRICULTURAL ESTIMATES DIVISION COOPERATING WITH PURDUE UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA INDIANA Note: The July 1961 report includes the National and State estimates of corn acreage planted for all purposes and acreage, yield per acre, and production of corn to be harvested for grain. The August through November reports will include corn for grain only. The annual summary of 1961 crop production, to be issued in December, will report tons of corn silage, and the acreage harvested for silage and for forage or hogging, with no calculation of the equivalent production of corn. INDIANA The July 1 production forecasts of Indiana's crops indicate for 1961 smaller production of corn for grain, oats, and hay than last year, but barley and rye crops will approach 1960 levels. A forecast of the 1961 soybean crop will not be made until August, but Indiana .rowers indicated a record large acreage for beans. Probable 1961 production of wheat at 43,044,000 bushels is up 6 percent from 1960 because of a 3 percent increase in acreage and a record yield of 34.0 bushels per acre. The 1961 wheat crop developed under almost ideal conditions. However, some wheat acreage was lost because of excessive water. Localized loss of production, mostly in central districts, resulted from low temperatures in late May. Stocks of old wheat on Indiana farms as of July 1 are estimated at 122,000 bushels, and compare with 158,000 bushels on hand a year earlier and the average July 1 holdings of 485,000 bushels. Production of corn for grain in 1961 based on July 1 condition is forecast at 252,928,000 "ushels, 27 percent under 1960 production and 1 percent below average. Much of this year's decline in production is due to diversion of corn acreage to other uses in the Feed Grain Program. The 4,121,000 acres of corn planted this spring is 22 percent less than the acreage planted in 1960. Some of this year's planted acreage was lost and not replanted. Also some will be used as forage, silage or hogged-off. The 3,952,000 acres to be harvested for grain this year is 22 percent less than 1960 acreage and 13 percent below average acreage harvested for grain. Planting was delayed by inclement weather, and subnormal temperatures since planting have retarded development. Probable yield of corn for grain, forecast at 64.0 bushels per acre this year, compares with the 1960 record of 68.0 and average of 56.1 bushels. July 1 stocks of old corn on Indiana farms was 106,812,000 bushels, 25 percent larger than 1960 stocks and 36 percent above average. The 1961 production of oats, forecast at 26,620,000 bushels, compares with the 1960 "op of 47,613,000 bushels and average production of 47,509,000 bushels. The sharply lower production of oats this year is due to late planting and diversion to conservation use in •L o Grain Program- The 1961 acreage of oats for grain at 605,000 acres compares with 807,000 acres harvested in 1960 and the average of 1,168,000 acres. The 1961 yield $__*£,1** 44-° bushels per acre, is 15.0 bushels lower than last year's record high yield M 59.0 bushels, but above the average.
