Definitions:

Bearing Acreage: Acres from which you will harvest prunes and plums this year. Include blocks you rent from others, and exclude blocks rented out. Deduct any waste area within blocks.

Expected Percent of Full Crop: A full crop is the yield you would expect to achieve under normal production conditions. This yield may or may not be the maximum production potential for your operation. Therefore, your expected percent of full crop may exceed 100%. Example: you project a mature block should produce 20,000 lbs./acre and you estimate this year it will produce 22,000 lbs./acre or 110% of a full crop.

Expected Production: The total pounds you anticipate harvesting. Consider the current condition of your orchards, and assume average weather and pest infestations until harvest.
