The sample area data indicate that production on the areas surveyed 
was about the same as last year. The degree to which these sample areas 
represent the entire area is not well understood. 
Conclusions = 
Considering all data, it is estimated that there will be a slight 
decrease in production this year from the Northeastern States with some 
States, such as Maine, producing about the same as last year.
