August 1997
This report draws on information from USDA's global network of agricultural attaches and counselors, official statistics of foreign governments, other foreign source materials, and results of office analysis. Estimates of U.S. acreage, yield and production are from the USDA Agricultural Statistics Board, except where noted. This report is based on unrounded data; numbers may not add to totals because of rounding. The report reflects official USDA estimates released in the World Agricultural Supply Estimates (WASDE-329) August 12, 1997.
The report was prepared by the Production Estimates and Crop Assessment Division, FAS, AGSTOP 1045, 14th and Independence Ave., Washington, DC 20250-1045. Further information may be obtained by writing to the division, or by calling (202) 720-0888, 9516, or by FAX (202) 720-8880.

UNITED STATES: Below-normal precipitation in the central Corn Belt aided winter grain harvesting but caused declines in corn and soybean conditions. Persistent dryness along with periodic heat in the mid-Atlantic region negatively affected crops. Recent rain from Texas eastward through the Delta followed mostly dry weather in July, easing irrigation requirements and benefitting crops. Although torrential rain from the remains of Hurricane "Danny" may have caused some localized crop damage in Alabama and the Carolinas, most crops benefitted from the much-needed rain. Monsoonal moisture caused flash-flooding in the Southwest, southern Rockies, and central High Plains.
CANADA: A drying trend enveloped the Prairies beginning in early July. By August, many crop areas of the south and east had experienced some degree of heat stress during reproductive and filling stages of development. However, the dryness was generally welcomed in previously wet grain and oilseed areas from northwestern Saskatchewan to Alberta's Peace River Valley.
SOUTH AMERICA: Abundant rainfall boosted soil moisture but slowed wheat planting in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Dryness is still delaying wheat planting in Cordoba and Santa Fe, Argentina. In southern Brazil, near to above normal July rainfall continued to favor vegetative to reproductive winter wheat.
EUROPE: Periodic heavy rain in July in southern Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Hungary caused widespread flooding and some crop damage. The wet weather delayed winter grain harvesting and threatened crop quality. Widespread rain in southeastern Europe since late July delayed winter grain harvesting and caused some crop lodging. Intermittent rain in England and western Germany slowed harvesting.
FSU-WESTERN: Well-above-normal rainfall in July in Ukraine and southern Russia delayed winter grain harvesting and threatened crop quality. However, the precipitation provided abundant moisture for summer crop development.
FSU-NEWLANDS: Near- to above-normal precipitation in July in most of Russia and Kazakstan favored spring grains, advancing through reproduction. Recently, light to moderate precipitation benefited spring grains in the filling stage. Hot weather in eastern Kazakstan and the Altay Kray region in Russia hastened maturity in spring grains.
SOUTH ASIA: In mid-July, the monsoon increased in intensity, resulting in broad areas of widespread, locally heavy rain. The persistence of the rainfall has become a problem for soybeans and rice in central and eastern India. Seasonal rainfall continues to trend below normal in oilseed, coarse grain, cotton, and sugarcane areas of western India and the southern interior, but timely late-July showers improved prospects somewhat.
EASTERN ASIA: Below normal rainfall and hot weather continued into early August across the North China Plain and North Korea, reducing corn yield prospects. Near normal July rainfall favored corn and soybeans in Manchuria. Much above normal July rainfall maintained rice irrigation supplies across southern China, but caused some local flooding.
SOUTHEAST ASIA: Seasonable showers during July eased dryness across most of Thailand, but dryness continued across south-central Thailand. Near normal July rainfall benefitted main-season crops in Vietnam and the Philippines. Below normal July rainfall limited moisture supplies for oil palm in eastern peninsular Malaysia and rainfed second-season corn across Java.
AUSTRALIA: In early August, highly beneficial rain swept across the western and southeastern winter grain belts. Much of the area from South Australia to southern New South Wales received stabilizing rains totaling over 1 inch. Most crops remain in a semi-dormant state, except for the most northerly grains which typically enter reproduction in late August.
