The August 11 US and World Supply and Demand Report forecasts another record for US crop production at 21.81 million bales, up 11 percent from last year. The August crop report carries more weight than prior yield estimates since it is the first report of the year in which an objective yield survey of boll counts is combined with a crop condition score. Production was estimated 300,000 bales more or 1 percent higher than in the July report. The August estimate is 4 percent higher than USDA's June estimate. Every region is anticipating a larger crop this year with Southeastern States' post the largest gain of almost 1 million bales or a 27 percent increase. Increases for other regions are near 7 to 8 percent above 1994 production.Type
