2015 national forage reviewProduction factors
High prices for almond and pistachio nuts have contributed to decreased alfalfa acres in California, which has been declining in new alfalfa seedings for at least the last three years. In 2015, new alfalfa seedings fell by 10 percent in California and 20 percent in South Dakota. However, gains were made in Arizona (10 percent), Kansas (15 percent), Michigan (28 percent), New York (43 percent) and Ohio (100 percent). Overall, net gain or loss in new alfalfa seedings nationwide was essentially zero.
Abnormally dry conditions throughout the Pacifi c Northwest resulted in not only a record fi re season but also decreased tonnage per acre in hard-hit Oregon. Ironically, Washington (also hard hit by the Okanogan Complex fi re which became the largest wildfi re in state history) increased in tons per acre by 0.3 tons.
Cattle producers and dairymen had feed supplies left over in 2015 from the 2014 season, creating a soft hay market. Unseasonal moisture in many parts of the country made putting up dry hay diffi cult, resulting in an overabundance of average or fair quality hay and an under-supply of dairy quality hay. Hay prices slumped overall throughout 2015 with many dairies and ranches reporting two years’ worth of on-farm stored feeds.
In late September, hurricane Joaquin remained offshore but drenched the lower Atlantic seaboard, causing extensive fl ooding in parts of the Carolinas. An excess of 20 inches was reported in parts of central and coastal South Carolina. It was a tough year in many parts of the U.S. to put up dry hay, and yield drops were reported in North Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Wyoming, among others.
Living up to its name, winter storm Goliath dumped snow and ice on New Mexico in late December before moving through Oklahoma and Texas. While eastern New Mexico received 2 to 3 feet of snow, the drifts were the bigger problem, reaching 14 feet in some places. Subsequent fl ooding resulted in the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers and the storm continued to wreck havoc through the Northern Plains, on
its way to the Atlantic. The extent of livestock death is still undetermined.
The year 2015 will also be noted historically for mergers, acquisitions and consolidations among agricultural companies, as the industry reorganizes in anticipation of tighter profi t margins. Acquisitions included chemical and fertilizer companies, co-ops, insurance providers and equipment companies.
All forage productionUSDA’s annual Crop Production report
estimated total forage production in 18 major states. The 18-state total for all forage production was 91.5 million tons, a decrease of 4 percent from 2014. Of this total, 50.0 million tons were produced from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures.
Dry hay outputProduction of all dry hay for 2015 was
estimated at 134 million tons, down 4 percent from the revised 2014 total. Area harvested was estimated at 54.4 million acres, down 5 percent from 2014. The average yield, at 2.47 tons per acre, was up 0.02 tons from the previous year.
Production of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures in 2015 was estimated at 59.0 million tons, down 4 percent from the revised 2014 total. Harvested area, at 17.8 million acres, was down 3 percent from the previous year. Average yield was estimated at 3.32 tons per acre, down 0.02 ton from 2014. Alfalfa production was generally down across the nation in 2015 as a result of lower yields compared with 2014.
Production in 2015 for other hay totaled 75.4 million tons, down 4 percent from the revised 2014 total. Harvested area, at 36.7 million acres, was down 5 percent from the previous year. Average yield was estimated at a record 2.06 tons per acre, up 0.03 tons from the previous year.
Corn silage dips lowerBased on acreage, the largest corn silage
producing states in 2015 were Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, California,
Iowa, South Dakota, Michigan and Texas. States with the largest increases in corn silage acreage compared to 2014 included Wisconsin (+120,000 acres), Ohio (+50,000), Texas (+40,000) and Iowa and New York
(each +30,000). Corn silage production was estimated at 127 million tons for 2015, down less than 1 percent from 2014. The U.S. average silage yield was estimated at 20.4 tons per acre, up 0.3 ton from 2014. FG
