Introduction

This publication presents 2015 potato estimates of acreage, yield per acre, production, farm disposition, season average

price, value, and utilization of sales including processing with historic comparisons. Also included are first of the month

potato stocks (December through June) for the 13 major fall potato producing States. Monthly prices, farm marketings,

percent of acreage planted by type, and certified seed acres are also included for selected States. Production, disposition,

and value data for Alaska are shown separately.

These estimates are based on information furnished by crop reporters, processors, and cooperating State or Federal

Agencies. The various sources include: Market News Service rail and truck shipments, Federal-State inspections, and

miscellaneous data available through marketing programs.

Price estimates represent average returns to growers for all uses and for all methods of sale. These prices are applied to

total production to compute value of production and to the quantity sold to compute value of sales. Some unsold potatoes

contribute to the value of production, including farm use for seed, feed, home use, and loss. The United States season

average price is obtained by weighting State prices by quantities sold.

Potato production, utilization, and value of sales in each State have been classified by season according to the period when

the largest supplies are harvested.

The four seasons are as follows:

Season Usual Time of Harvest

Winter January through March

Spring April through June

Summer July to Mid-September

Fall August through November

A crop year is associated with the calendar year in which harvest is accomplished. Seasons are not fixed dates but are

approximations because of overlapping harvests. Generally, the marketing season closely follows harvest except for fall

potatoes, when marketing from storage may extend through August of the following year. Thus, the marketing year for

fall potatoes is from the start of harvest through August of the following year.


2015 Potato Production Down Slightly

Potato production in 2015 is revised to 441 million cwt, up slightly from the estimate in the January Crop Production

2015 Summary but slightly below the 2014 crop. Harvested area, at 1.05 million acres, is up slightly from 2014. The

average yield of 418 cwt per acre is down 3 cwt from the previous year.

Spring potato final production for 2014 is 20.8 million cwt, 8 percent below the previous year. Harvested acres, at

72,500 acres, increased 2 percent from 2014. The average yield for spring potatoes is 286 cwt per acre, down 32 cwt from

2014. Summer potato production is 15.7 million cwt for 2015, a 1 percent decrease from 2014. Harvested area, at

47,100 acres, is down 4 percent from 2014. The average yield of 334 cwt per acre is up 10 cwt from 2014. Fall potato

production is finalized at 405 million cwt for 2015, up slightly from the 2014 crop. Area harvested in 2015 is

934,800 acres, slightly above the previous year. The average fall potato yield, at 433 cwt per acre, is down 1 cwt from

2014.

The value of all potatoes sold in 2015, at $3.60 billion, decreased 2 percent from the previous year. The average price, at

$8.76 per cwt, is down $0.12 from 2014. The quantity of potatoes sold from the 2015 crop totaled 410 million cwt, down

slightly from 2014. Quantity sold account for 93 percent of 2015 production, unchanged from the previous year.

Growers from the 30 Program States sold 273 million cwt of raw potatoes to processors from the 2015 crop, down

3 percent from 2014. Table stock sales totaled 111 million cwt, 3 percent above the previous year. Seed sales of

25.6 million cwt are up 13 percent from 2014. Sales for livestock feed, at 919 thousand cwt, increased 20 percent from

2014.

Shrinkage and loss is estimated at 26.5 million cwt for 2015, 1 percent below 2014. Potatoes used for livestock feed on

farms where grown and home use totaled 866 thousand cwt, a 2 percent increase from the previous season. Growers kept

3.77 million cwt for seed on their own farms, up 13 percent from 2014.

U.S. potatoes used for processing totaled 280 million cwt, down 5 percent from 2014. Potatoes used for chips and

shoestrings totaled 58.1 million cwt in 2015, down 21 percent from the previous year. Frozen french fries and other frozen

products utilized 166 million cwt of raw potatoes, up 2 percent from 2014. Potatoes used for dehydrating totaled

47.9 million cwt, down 2 percent from 2014. Canning use, at 1.21 million cwt, is down 9 percent from the previous year.

Other products made from potatoes totaled 6.38 million cwt of potatoes, an 8 percent decrease from 2014.

Statistical Methodology

Survey Procedures: Potato estimates are the results of a variety of surveys. Summer and fall potatoes are included in the

June and December Quarterly Agricultural Surveys, but also follow Grower Special Surveys. For spring potatoes, March

Quarterly Agricultural Surveys and Grower Special Surveys are the source of data. Telephone follow-up of mail survey

non-respondents is used to ensure adequate coverage. Special grower disposition surveys are conducted at the end of each

season to provide additional details about the crop.

Estimating Procedures: Information obtained from the special grower disposition surveys along with federal

administrative data is used to establish estimates of acreage, production, amount sold, and usage on farm where grown.

These estimates are reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates.

Revision Policy: All estimates for the previous crop year can be revised at this time. However, acreage is rarely updated.

End-of-season estimates of production are made following harvest and are subject to revision the following year based on

a thorough review of all available data.

Reliability: Survey results are subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data,

and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are

minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for

consistency and reasonableness.
