Forage Production
Forage production is the sum of all dry hay production and haylage/greenchop production after converting the
haylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent basis (13 percent moisture) by multiplying the green weight (weight at
harvest) by 0.4943. The conversion factor (0.4943) is based on the assumption that one ton of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry
matter, one ton of haylage is 0.45 ton dry matter and one ton of greenchop is 0.25 ton dry matter. The total
haylage/greenchop production is assumed to be comprised of 90 percent haylage and 10 percent greenchop. Therefore, the
conversion factor used to adjust haylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent
basis = ((0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1))/0.87 = 0.4943. The factors assumed here may vary by State and can be adjusted.
Adjustments would result in a slightly different conversion factor.
All Forage Area Harvested, Yield, and Production – States and 18 State Total: 2009-2011
[All forage production is the sum of the following dry equivalents: alfalfa hay harvested as dry hay, all other hay harvested as dry hay, alfalfa haylage
and greenchop, all other haylage and greenchop; after converting alfalfa and all other haylage and greenchop to a dry equivalent basis]

2011 Annual Weather Summary
Highlights: La Niña’s influence contributed to cool weather and extensive spring flooding in the Ohio, Mississippi, and
Missouri River basins, along with historic heat and drought in the south-central United States. Wet conditions were a
detriment to planting in the eastern Corn Belt and the Mid-South, ultimately exposing late-developing summer crops to
unfavorable heat and dryness during the heart of the growing season. However, any Midwestern crop stress was
overshadowed by relentless heat and drought on the southern Plains. The drought, which began during the autumn of
2010, devastated the southern Plains’ 2011 winter wheat crop and left the region’s pastures and rangeland in the worst
condition since records of that type have been kept. Severe crop stress carried through the summer months, sharply
reducing yield potential for crops such as cotton and sorghum. Although significant rain and snow finally fell late in the
year across the south-central United States, much more precipitation was needed to replenish sub-soil moisture and assist
in the long-term recovery of pastures, rangeland, and water supplies.
The West had an erratic, but ultimately abundant, wet season in 2010-2011, with the exception of drought-affected
Arizona and New Mexico. In an ironic twist, much of the West experienced an extremely slow start to the 2011-2012 wet
season, except for abundant early-season snowfall in the Southwest. By year’s end, effects of developing drought were
becoming more apparent in California in the form of stunted pasture growth and increased irrigation requirements.
Meanwhile, tornadoes claimed at least 552 lives in 2011, the Nation’s highest toll since 1936. Most of the fatal tornadoes
struck the central and southern Plains and the Southeast, with Alabama and Missouri hit especially hard during
super-outbreaks in April and May. Farther east, the Atlantic Basin was active again with 18 named tropical storms,
continuing a general trend of above-normal tropical activity that began in 1995. Only six of the storms became hurricanes,
but Irene - the season’s first hurricane - struck the middle and northern Atlantic States in late August before triggering
catastrophic flooding in parts of New England. Just a few days later, the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee brought
additional flooding to the Northeast.
For the Nation as a whole, initial data indicated that the Lower 48 States posted their 23rd-warmest, 45th-driest year during
the 117-year period of record. Continuing a long-running stretch of warm years, the Nation’s annual average temperature
of 53.8 degrees Fahrenheit was 1.0 degree above the long-term mean. The last time the Nation experienced an annual
average temperature below the 20th century mean was 1996. Meanwhile, the Nation noted its driest year since 2002, with
an annual average precipitation of 28.78 inches (99 percent of normal). State temperature rankings ranged from the
17th-coolest year in Washington to the warmest year on record in Delaware. In addition, top-ten rankings for warmth
covered Texas (second-hottest year, behind only 1921), Oklahoma, Florida, Vermont, and every Atlantic Coast State from
North Carolina to Maine. Texas also endured its driest year on record, supplanting 1917. Elsewhere, State rankings ranged
from top-ten dryness in Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico, and South Carolina to the wettest year during the 1895-2011
period of record in Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.
Winter 2010-2011: December freezes in Florida, expanding drought across the South, and an erratic Western winter wet
season highlighted an unusual winter. December was not only cold in the Southeast, but exceptionally stormy in the West.
Precipitation virtually ceased across much of the West for a 6-week period from early January to mid-February, only to
return for the second half of February. The primary impact of Southern drought was deteriorating conditions of pastures
and winter wheat. February featured numerous weather extremes. For example, bitter cold was replaced by mild weather
across the central and southern Plains and the Mid-South.
Spring: Persistent weather patterns driven in part by a fading La Niña contributed to a variety of weather extremes. Wet
conditions dominated the United States, except across the southern half of the Plains, the lower Southeast, and parts of the
Southwest. Warmth covered the South and East, while chilly conditions gripped the northern Plains and much of the
West. Seasonal highlights included a late-season Western storm barrage during March, worsening drought in the Deep
South, rampant spring flooding in the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi River basins, and multiple severe weather
outbreaks in April and May. According to preliminary reports, the 24-hour period ending at 8 am EDT on April 28
became the Nation’s deadliest “tornado day” on record (since reliable records began in 1950), with 317 fatalities. This
surpassed the 310 deaths of April 3-4, 1974. The Joplin storm of May 22 - with 158 deaths - was the Nation’s deadliest
single tornado since April 9, 1947, when 181 people perished in Woodward, Oklahoma.

Crop Production 2011 Summary (January 2012)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Summer: Untimely heat and developing dryness reduced the yield potential for some Midwestern crops - particularly
corn - during July, following a planting season delayed by incessant rains. Somewhat more favorable conditions returned
to the Midwest during August, although pockets of drought lingered. Meanwhile, drought not only persisted but
intensified across the south-central United States, resulting in the loss of many rain-fed summer crops. Intense heat
accompanied the drought, placing even irrigated crops under severe stress. Hot, dry conditions also affected parts of the
Southeast, although late-summer tropical rains reduced the coverage of drought. Farther north, late-August rainfall from
Hurricane Irene fell on already saturated soils from the Mid-Atlantic coastal plain into parts of New England, triggering
major flooding. Elsewhere, late-summer warmth promoted fieldwork and crop development in the Northwest, following
an extended period of cool, damp weather, while monsoon showers provided only limited drought relief in the Southwest.
Autumn: Autumn featured a wide variety of weather conditions, from Tropical Storm Lee-induced flooding (in early
September) in the Mid-Atlantic States to drought relief on the southern Plains. In general, relatively dry conditions
prevailed from the Pacific Northwest to the upper Midwest, while wet conditions plagued areas from the Mid-South into
the Northeast. However, significant autumn fieldwork delays were mostly confined to a small part of the eastern Corn
Belt. Meanwhile, autumn warmth across the North and West contrasted with cooler-than-normal conditions in portions of
the Southeast. Despite the overall Midwestern warmth, Minnesota and North Dakota experienced an earlier-than-normal
first freeze in mid-September. In addition to the early upper Midwestern freeze, autumn climate oddities included a freak,
late-October snow storm in the Northeast and October downpours in southern Florida.
2011 Annual Crop Summary
April: Unusually warm, dry weather dominated much of the southern United States during the month, causing an overall
decline in winter wheat conditions, while cool, wet conditions across the Northern Tier and throughout much of the Corn
Belt limited or prevented fieldwork. As the month began, corn planting had just begun in three of the five largest
producing States. Saturated fields and localized flooding hampered fieldwork in portions of the Corn Belt, Great Lakes
region, and Ohio Valley throughout much of the month, leaving planting progress well behind both last year and normal
for not only row crops, but spring-seeded small grains as well. In portions of the Delta, mid- to late-month rainfall, hail,
and flash flooding slowed fieldwork, damaged crops, and eroded fields. While cotton planting began the month ahead of
the average pace, a lack of soil moisture in Texas left many cotton producers in the Plains waiting for much-needed
rainfall before putting seed in the ground.
May: Continued above average precipitation in portions of the Corn Belt, Great Plains, Ohio Valley, and Rocky
Mountains limited row crop and small grain planting as the month began, while cool temperatures delayed fieldwork and
slowed crop emergence and development across much of the western half of the country. As May began, just 13 percent
of the Nation’s corn crop was planted, 53 percentage points behind last year and 27 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Although soybean planting was most advanced in the Delta, flooding along the Mississippi River left many fields
in under water. Conversely, above average temperatures and mostly dry conditions promoted a rapid crop development
pace for winter wheat in the southern Great Plains, while negatively impacting crop conditions throughout the month.
Elsewhere, peanut planting was rapid throughout much of the Southeast despite dry soil conditions in some areas.
Improved weather during the latter half of May provided favorable conditions for increased fieldwork and aided crop
emergence in areas previously impacted by cool, wet conditions.
June: Warm, dry weather persisted in much of the southern half of the United States during June, compounding the
effects of low soil moisture levels and adversely affecting crop conditions. In contrast to May’s rapid planting pace,
peanut producers in the Southeast sowed a limited amount of their remaining intended acreage because of unusually dry
soils early in the month. Hot, dry weather led to poor seed germination and emergence of many dryland cotton fields in
areas of the Texas Plains, leaving crop development behind normal. Despite favorable weather, row crop development in
areas of the Corn Belt remained behind normal due to late spring planting. While seeding was ongoing into mid-June in
some oat-producing States, harvest was nearly complete in Texas by month’s end. Cool, wet weather continued to limit
fieldwork and small grain development across the Northern Tier and along the Pacific Coast. Head development of the
Nation’s barley and spring wheat crops was 38 percentage points or more behind normal by July 3. In North Dakota,
seeding of barley and spring wheat was well behind normal despite producers battling soggy fields in hopes of sowing as
much of their intended acreage as possible before the lateness of the season prevented further seeding.

July: Warmer than normal temperatures and limited rainfall across much of the United States promoted a rapid crop
maturity pace during the month. On the southern Great Plains, summer row crops and many small grains were stressed by
triple-digit temperatures and little to no rainfall. While some sorghum fields in Texas were abandoned due to prolonged
drought stress, producers in Kansas irrigated their fields as much as water supplies allowed. In the Corn Belt, warm
weather and adequate soil moisture levels provided nearly ideal growing conditions for reproductive corn and soybeans;
however, the month ended with blooming and pod set of the soybean crop behind both last year and normal. As July
progressed, mostly sunny skies and dry weather allowed for a quick harvest pace in many winter wheat-producing States.
Favorable weather conditions boosted rice conditions in Arkansas mid-month, while disease and insect pressure
negatively impacted some fields in Louisiana. Spotty rainfall helped to loosen hard-packed soils in peanut fields in
portions of the Southeast, allowing for easier peg development and improved crop conditions.
August: Much of the southern Great Plains remained parched during August, compounding the effects of one of the driest
summers on record. In Texas, some sorghum fields were baled due to a severe lack of soil moisture and poor crop
development. Elsewhere, hot temperatures and dry soils limited peg development and calcium uptake in many peanut
fields in Georgia early in the month. Conversely, Hurricane Irene dumped rainfall in excess of 16 inches on portions of
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. While warm temperatures boosted crop maturation in many
row crops throughout the Midwest during the month, limited rainfall in portions of the Corn Belt let to a decline in
soybean conditions during late August. The harvest of many small grain crops advanced quickly as producers in the major
growing States ramped up fieldwork during the latter half of the month to help gain ground on what was a slower than
normal crop year. Toward month’s end, cotton harvest was underway in Arizona, Mississippi, and Texas.
September: Crop development continued at a rapid pace in the Midwest despite cooler than normal temperatures and
lingering rainfall that limited harvest in portions of the Corn Belt. With harvest underway across a good portion of the
major corn-producing region, the first autumn frosts negatively impacted some fields in the northern Corn Belt.
Elsewhere, warm, dry conditions dominated the western half of the country during the month, providing ample time for
the harvest of this year’s barley and spring wheat crops. As September began, winter wheat producers were busy seeding
the 2012 crop; however, the unusually dry soil conditions on the southern Great Plains left many producers in Oklahoma
and Texas waiting for increased rainfall before seeding their crop. Conversely, beneficial rainfall in portions of the
Southeast spurred peanut digging late in the month.
October: Sunny, mostly dry weather in portions of the Corn Belt aided the rapid harvest of many row crops during the
month, while storm systems steadily dumped rainfall on the Ohio Valley, slowing not only crop development and harvest,
but small grain seeding as well. Cool temperatures and lingering rainfall in early-September gave way to favorable
conditions mid-month as Midwestern fieldwork gained speed in many of the major corn and soybean producing States
leaving overall progress well ahead of the normal pace. Fair weather on the Great Plains spurred the rapid harvest of this
year’s sorghum crop during the latter half of the month. In Texas, the pace of winter wheat seeding increased as producers
in the Northern High Plains sowed their crop behind harvested silage crops and ahead of expected moisture. Toward
month’s end, near-normal temperatures and dry weather in the Great Plains aided the double-digit harvest pace of the
sunflower crop. Similarly, improved weather conditions in the four major sugarbeet-producing States allowed for
73 percent of this year’s crop to be harvested from October 3 to October 30. While nearly ideal weather provided cotton
producers across much of the South ample time to harvest their crop, late-month snowfall in areas of northern Texas
delayed progress.
November: Near-normal temperatures and below average precipitation allowed producers in many areas across the
country ample time to wrap up fieldwork during November. Conversely, abundant moisture in portions of the Corn Belt
and Ohio Valley hampered harvest for the remaining corn and soybean crops. Early-season storms delivered beneficial
moisture to the emerging winter wheat crop in some Rocky Mountain locations, while on the Great Plains, additional
precipitation was needed to boost crop establishment. On November 27, fifty-two percent of the 2012 winter wheat crop
was reported in good to excellent condition, compared with 47 percent from the same time last year. As November began,
rice producers in the northern Delta and California were busy harvesting the last of their 2011 crop, while harvest in
Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas was complete. Sunflower harvest was nearly complete by November 20. Cool, mostly
dry weather across the South promoted a rapid harvest pace for cotton early in the month, and by November 13, progress,
at 79 percent complete, was advancing at the quickest pace since 2001. Sugarbeet producers had harvested 96 percent of
this year’s crop by November 6, 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

Crop Production 2011 Summary (January 2012)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Crop Comments
Corn: United States corn for grain production is estimated at 12.4 billion bushels, up slightly from the November 1
forecast but 1 percent below 2010. The average yield in the United States for 2011 is estimated at 147.2 bushels per acre.
This is up 0.5 bushel from the November forecast but 5.6 bushels below the 2010 average yield of 152.8 bushels.
Estimated yields are down across much of the Nation compared to 2010. Dry soil conditions and above normal
temperatures during the critical development phase limited yield potential in many locations. The largest declines in yield
compared to the previous year are estimated in the southern Plains, where severe drought and high temperatures
negatively impacted the crop. Estimated yields are up from last year in the mid-Atlantic, Tennessee Valley, and Pacific
Northwest. Record high yields are estimated in Georgia, Idaho, Michigan, Oregon, and Washington.
Corn planted area, at 91.9 million acres, is up 4 percent from 2010. This represents the second largest acreage since 1944,
only behind 2007 with 93.5 million acres. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 84.0 million acres, up slightly from the
November forecast and up 3 percent from 2010.
The 2010 corn objective yield data indicate the second highest number of ears per acre for the combined 10 objective
yield States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin), only
behind the record year of 2009. Record high ear counts were recorded in Illinois, Iowa, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Corn silage production is estimated at 109 million tons in 2011, up 2 percent from 2010. The United States silage yield is
estimated at 18.4 tons per acre, down 0.9 ton from 2010. Area harvested for silage is estimated at 5.93 million acres, up
6 percent from a year ago.
Planting got off to a slow start in 2011 due to unfavorable field conditions across much of the major corn-producing
region during April. Midwestern fieldwork remained at a virtual standstill during the middle part of April due to heavy
rains and lowland flooding in the central and eastern Corn Belt. By May 1, only 13 percent of the acreage had been
planted, compared with 66 percent planted at the same time last year and 40 percent for the 5-year average pace.
Planting delays continued during early May throughout much of the Midwest, but mostly dry weather favored fieldwork
in the western Corn Belt states of Iowa and Nebraska. Planting conditions improved during May in most areas of the
country, but delays continued in the eastern Corn Belt States of Indiana and Ohio. Planting was virtually complete by
June 12.
Warm weather and adequate soil moisture levels in many of the major corn-producing States provided nearly ideal
growing conditions for emerging plants during the first half of June. By June 19, virtually all of the nation’s corn acreage
had emerged. Wet weather continued across most of the Midwest during the second half of June, maintaining abundant
moisture reserves for corn. On the other hand, extremely dry conditions and above normal temperatures in the central and
southern Plains caused severe stress to both irrigated and non-irrigated corn acreage.
During the first half of July, warm weather, scattered showers, and abundant soil moisture promoted rapid crop
development across the northern Plains and Midwest, while relentlessly hot, dry weather persisted in the south-central
United States. The latter part of the month saw above normal temperatures reported across much of the major
corn-producing regions. As of July 31, sixty-two percent of the corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition in
the 18 major producing States, compared with 71 percent rated in these two categories at the same time in 2010.
Unusually hot weather persisted across the central Plains, Midwest, and Southeast during the first week of August,
promoting rapid crop development while negatively impacting crop conditions. During the latter part of August, milder
weather and scattered showers were reported in parts of the Corn Belt, benefitting late planted corn. However, unusually
hot weather and continued dry conditions in many locations continued to negatively impact the crop.
As of September 4, fifty-two percent of the corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition in the 18 major
producing States, down 10 percentage points from the previous month and down 17 percentage points compared with the
Crop Production 2011 Summary (January 2012)

81

same time in 2010. As September began, 94 percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the dough stage, and rapid denting
was evident throughout much of the Midwest. Harvest was underway across a good portion of the major corn-producing
region by the middle of September and continued through October. Harvest was virtually complete by November 20.
Sorghum: Grain production in 2011 is estimated at 214 million bushels, down 13 percent from the November 1 forecast
and 38 percent below 2010. Planted area, at 5.48 million acres, is the second lowest level on record, up just 1 percent from
last year. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 3.93 million acres. This is down 18 percent from 2010 and the lowest
harvested area since 1936. Average grain yield, at 54.6 bushels per acre, is down 0.9 bushel from the previous forecast
and down 17.2 bushels from last year.
Silage production is estimated at 2.30 million tons, down 32 percent from 2010. Area cut for silage is estimated at
224,000 acres, down 16 percent from the previous year. Silage yields averaged 10.3 tons per acre, down 2.3 tons per acre
from 2010.
Hot, dry weather during the growing season had a negative impact on the 2011 sorghum crop. This was especially true in
Kansas and Texas, the Nation’s top two sorghum producers. Texas experienced one of its most severe droughts on record,
while portions of Kansas were also in varying levels of drought throughout the year. Kansas production is at its lowest
level since 1964. Area planted and harvested in Texas are record lows. In Oklahoma, record low harvested area and
production are estimated.
Oats: The 2011 production is estimated at a record low 53.6 million bushels, down 34 percent from 2010. Yield is
estimated at 57.1 bushels per acre, down 7.2 bushels from the previous year. Area planted to oats is estimated at a record
low 2.50 million acres, down 20 percent from 2010. In total, record lows for planted acres were set in 24 States. Harvested
area is estimated at a record low 939,000 acres, down 26 percent from last year. Record lows for harvested area occurred
in 19 States.
Favorable growing conditions in the Southeast promoted significant yield increases compared with 2010, with Alabama
and North Carolina yields tying record highs. Extreme drought conditions in Texas led to a large decline in yield from last
year. Elsewhere, delayed planting caused by above average spring precipitation and combined with excessive heat during
pollination in July led to a large drop in average yields in Minnesota and South Dakota.
During early spring, planting of the oat crop was behind the normal pace. By April 24, growers had planted 41 percent of
the acreage, 18 points behind normal. During April, emergence also was behind the normal pace. By April 24, emergence
was 31 percent complete, 5 points behind the 5-year average. As of May 29, planting was 89 percent complete, 10 points
behind the average. Seventy-four percent of the crop was emerged by May 29, nineteen points behind the normal pace.
Through June, crop development remained behind normal in most major oat-producing States. As of June 26,
fifty-two percent of the oat acreage was headed, 19 points behind the 5-year average. However, Texas was on pace with
the 5-year average.
By July 31, thirty percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 14 points behind the normal pace. However, harvest in Iowa,
Nebraska, and Texas was ahead of the 5-year average. Although harvest was 94 percent complete in the nine major
producing States by September 4, only 64 percent of the crop was harvested in North Dakota, 24 points behind the
average.
Barley: Production is estimated at 156 million bushels, 14 percent below 2010, and the lowest since 1936. Average yield
per acre, at 69.6 bushels, is down 3.5 bushels from the previous year. Producers seeded 2.56 million acres in 2011, down
11 percent from last year. This is the lowest planted acreage on record. Harvested area, at 2.24 million acres, is down
9 percent from 2010, and the lowest level since 1881.
Seeded area in North Dakota established a record low for the State, while harvested area was the lowest since 1901. In
addition, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, South Dakota, and Utah producers set new record lows for seeded acreage, while
producers in New York seeded a record-tying low. Record lows for harvested area were set in Michigan and Wisconsin. A
record high yield was set in North Carolina, while producers in Arizona reported a record-tying yield.

Crop Production 2011 Summary (January 2012)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Barley seeding was underway across much of the major producing regions by April 17, when 11 percent of the Nation’s
crop was in the ground, 8 percentage points behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Rain,
snow, and unusually cool spring temperatures delayed the start of fieldwork in North Dakota by nearly 3 weeks when
compared to normal. Emergence was evident in most States by May 1, but cool temperatures limited crop growth. With
producers in North Dakota battling soggy fields well into June, Nationwide seeding progress remained well behind normal
throughout the month. Warmer temperatures in portions of the barley-producing region promoted rapid crop emergence
during the first half of June, with heading evident in Idaho, Minnesota, and Washington by July 3. The latter half of July
brought warmer temperatures to much of the Northern Tier, promoting an increase in crop development and maturity. As
August began, producers in Idaho, Minnesota, and North Dakota were harvesting this year’s crop; however, progress in
four of the five major estimating States was 20 percentage points or more behind the 5-year average. Harvest advanced
quickly throughout the month as producers in Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota ramped up fieldwork to help
gain ground on what was a slower than normal crop year. By September 4, seventy-one percent of the Nation’s barley
crop was harvested, 10 percentage points behind normal. A warm, dry weather pattern dominated much of the West
during September, allowing harvest progress to advance ahead of both last year and the average by September 25, when
97 percent of the crop was out of the field.
All wheat production totaled 2.00 billion bushels in 2011, down 9 percent from 2010. Grain area totaled 45.7 million
acres, down 4 percent from the previous year. The United States yield is 43.7 bushels per acre, down 2.6 bushels from the
previous year’s record high but still ranks as the fifth highest on record. The levels of production and changes from 2010
by type are winter wheat, 1.49 billion bushels, up 1 percent; other spring wheat, 455 million bushels, down 26 percent and
Durum wheat, 50.5 million bushels, down 52 percent.
Winter wheat: The 2011 winter wheat production totaled 1.49 billion bushels, 1 percent above the previous year. The
United States yield is 46.2 bushels per acre, down 0.6 bushel from 2010. Area harvested for grain is estimated at
32.3 million acres, up 2 percent from the previous year.
Planted and harvested acres were down from 2010 in most of the major Hard Red Winter (HRW) growing States.
Persistently hot, dry conditions in this growing area, particularly in Texas and Oklahoma, resulted in acreage and yield
reductions from the previous year in most States. Nationally, HRW production totaled 780 million bushels, down
23 percent from 2010.
After seeing a reduction in 2010 area due to wet weather during planting, planted and harvested acres increased from a
year ago across most of the Soft Red Winter (SRW) growing area. Due to excellent weather conditions through much of
the season, production was up significantly from the previous year, with production in many of the SRW States up more
than 100 percent from 2010. Record high yields were experienced in Alabama, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Overall, SRW production totaled 458 million bushels, up 93 percent
from 2010.
White winter production totaled 256 million bushels, up 12 percent from the previous year. Planted and harvested acreage
in the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) was above 2010’s level. Record high yields were experienced
in Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.
Other spring wheat: Production for 2011 is estimated at 455 million bushels, down 26 percent from 2010. Harvested
area totaled 12.1 million acres, down 10 percent from last year. The United States yield is 37.7 bushels per acre,
8.4 bushels lower than last year. Yields are below the previous year’s level in all States except Idaho, Oregon, and
Washington, where record high yields were achieved in all three States.
Due to wet spring conditions, planting got off to a slow start in most of the major spring wheat-producing States. As of
April 24, six percent of the crop had been planted, 19 points behind the 5-year average. The excessively wet conditions
lingered into early summer and eventually reduced the total acres available for planting in North Dakota and Montana. By
May 29, only 68 percent of the Nation’s crop had been planted, 27 points behind the normal pace.
Crop maturation continued behind normal throughout the growing season for most States. As a result, harvest progress
lagged behind the 5-year average. By September 4, sixty-eight percent of the crop had been harvested, 13 points behind

the 5-year average. However, warm, dry weather in early September promoted a rapid harvest pace, and by September 11,
ninety-eight percent of the crop had been harvested, only1 percent behind the 5-year average.
Durum wheat: Production for 2011 is estimated at 50.5 million bushels, down 52 percent from 2010. Grain area
harvested is 1.31 million acres, down 48 percent from the previous year. The United States yield is 38.5 bushels per acre,
down 3.6 bushels from 2010 but still the fourth highest yield on record.
Flooding and excessively wet conditions during spring and early summer reduced area available for planting in Montana
and North Dakota and hampered crop development throughout the growing season. In North Dakota, planted and
harvested acres are record lows. As of September 25, harvest progress in Montana and North Dakota was behind normal.
Most notably, Montana was 10 points behind the 5-year average.
Rice: Production in 2011 is estimated 185 million cwt, down 2 percent from the previous forecast and 24 percent below
2010. Planted area is estimated at 2.69 million acres, down 26 percent from 2010. Area harvested, at 2.62 million acres, is
down slightly from the previous forecast and 28 percent below the previous crop year. The average yield for all United
States rice is estimated at 7,067 pounds per acre, down 100 pounds from the previous forecast but 342 pounds above the
2010 yield.
In all States except California, severe drought conditions, excessive flooding, and higher prices for competing
commodities contributed to the decline in rice acres compared with the previous crop year. In early April, flooding in
parts of Missouri and Arkansas resulted in a large number of abandoned acres. In Missouri, rice abandonment is estimated
at the highest level on record. Harvested area in Arkansas is the lowest since 1989 and abandoned acres are estimated at
the second highest level on record.
Despite the adverse weather conditions in 2011, yields increased from the previous year in all States except Mississippi,
which remained unchanged. A record high yield was set in Louisiana.
Rye: Production for 2011 is estimated at 6.33 million bushels, down 15 percent from last year and the second lowest
production on record. Harvested area totaled a record low 242,000 acres, down 23,000 acres from 2010. The United States
yield, at 26.1 bushels per acre, is down 1.9 bushels from the previous year. Drought conditions in the Southern Great
Plains and floods in the Northern Great Plains throughout the growing season led to yield decreases from a year earlier.
Proso millet: Production of proso millet in 2011 totaled 9.15 million bushels, down 21 percent from 2010. Planted area,
at 370,000 acres, is down 5 percent, while harvested area, at 338,000 acres, is down 7 percent from last year. The average
yield for 2011 is estimated at 27.1 bushels per acre, down 4.7 bushels from last year and the lowest average yield since
2006.
All hay: Production of dry hay for 2011 is estimated at 131 million tons, down slightly from the October 1 forecast and
down 10 percent from the 2010 total. This is the lowest United States production level since 1988. Area harvested is
estimated at 55.6 million acres, down 3 percent from the October 1 forecast and down 7 percent from last year. The
average yield, at 2.36 tons per acre, is up 0.07 ton from October but down 0.07 ton from the previous year.
Alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Production in 2011 is estimated at 65.3 million tons, up 1 percent from the October 1
forecast but down 4 percent from 2010. This is the lowest United States production level since 1959. Harvested area, at
19.2 million acres, is 1 percent below the October 1 forecast and 4 percent below the previous year. This is the smallest
harvested area since 1949. Average yield is estimated at 3.40 tons per acre, 0.05 ton above the October 1 forecast but
unchanged from 2010.
Compared with last year, alfalfa hay harvested area decreased across the majority of the Southwest and central and
southern Great Plains due to unusually dry weather during the 2011 growing season. In Oklahoma, harvested area is the
smallest since 1930 and production is the lowest since 1925.
Conversely, yields throughout much of the region increased from last year as irrigated hay land made up a larger portion
of harvested area. In areas of the Pacific Northwest, abundant rainfall negatively impacted the quality of some early hay

cuttings, but allowed producers to harvest more hay from dryland fields. Elsewhere, excessive moisture throughout the
growing season hampered fieldwork in areas of the Ohio Valley, leading to an overall decrease in harvested area.
Precipitation from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee aided crop growth and boosted yields from the Tennessee
Valley into the Northeast.
All other hay: Production in 2011 totaled 65.8 million tons, down 2 percent from the October 1 forecast and 15 percent
below 2010. This is the lowest United States production since 1990. Harvested area, at 36.4 million acres, is down
5 percent from October and 9 percent from last year, and the smallest acreage since 1998. Average yield is estimated at
1.81 tons per acre, up 0.06 ton from October but down 0.14 ton from last year.
Unusually dry conditions throughout the central and southern Great Plains and across much of the South during much of
the growing season led to decreases in harvested acreage, yield, and production in major producing areas. Oklahoma and
Texas were two of the States hit hardest by prolonged dryness, evidenced by the lowest other hay production since 1980
and 1972, respectively. Conversely, abundant late-August and early-September rainfall promoted increased growth in
many pastures and grass hay fields from the Northeast to the Mid-Atlantic Coast. As a result, harvested acreage and yields
increased in these areas from a year ago.
Forage: Eighteen States participate in the forage estimation program, which measures annual production of forage crops,
with an emphasis on total alfalfa production. Haylage and greenchop production is converted to 13 percent moisture and
combined with dry hay production to derive the total forage production. The total 2011 all haylage and greenchop
production for the 18 States in the forage program is 32.0 million tons, of which 20.5 million tons are from alfalfa and
alfalfa mixtures. The total all haylage production is down 5 percent from last year. The 18 State total forage area
harvested is 33.1 million acres, including 13.8 million acres from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. The total forage harvested
area is 7 percent below 2010, while the total forage production is down 11 percent from last year. The United States yield
is estimated at 2.71 tons per acre, down 0.1 ton from the previous year.
New seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Growers seeded 2.32 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during
2011, down 9 percent from 2010. This established a record low for seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures for the United
States. Record lows were also established in Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Record-tying lows were set in Michigan, Oklahoma, Texas, and Washington. The new
seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures will normally be harvested for the first time in the year following planting.
Peanuts: Production is estimated at 3.64 billion pounds, down slightly from the previous forecast and down 13 percent
from 2010. Planted area is estimated at 1.14 million acres, down 11 percent from 2010, and area harvested, at 1.10 million
acres, is down 13 percent from the previous crop year. Average yield is estimated at 3,313 pounds per acre, up 38 pounds
from the previous forecast and up 1 pound from 2010.
Estimated yields were down significantly from last year in the Southwest due to severe drought conditions during the
growing season. In Texas, growers realized the lowest yield since 1995. Further east, peanut yields were up from last year
in most States. Record high yields were estimated in Virginia and Mississippi, and the yield in Florida tied the record high
achieved in 2010.
Canola: Production in 2011 is estimated at 1.54 billion pounds, down 37 percent from 2010 but up fractionally from the
October 1 forecast. The yield, at 1,475 pounds per acre, is down 238 pounds from last year’s yield but up 16 pounds from
October. Planted area is estimated at 1.07 million acres, 26 percent below last year’s acreage. Harvested area, at
1.04 million acres, is down 27 percent from 2010. Production in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is
estimated at 1.28 billion pounds, down 42 percent from last year. Compared with last year, planted area in North Dakota
is down 33 percent due to extremely wet conditions during the spring in the northern part of the State where the majority
of the crop is grown.
Sunflower: The 2011 sunflower production totaled 2.04 billion pounds, down 25 percent from 2010. The United States
average yield per acre decreased 62 pounds from last year to 1,398 pounds. Planted area, at 1.54 million acres, is
21 percent below last year and is the lowest since 1976. Area harvested decreased 22 percent from last year to
1.46 million acres and is also the lowest since 1976.

For the first time since data for both States began to be published in 1977, South Dakota out-produced North Dakota to
become the leading sunflower-producing State during 2011. Production in South Dakota is estimated at 777 million
pounds, up slightly from 2010. Compared with last year, South Dakota was the only one of the nine major
sunflower-producing States with an increase in yield. Production in North Dakota, at 766 million pounds, is down
39 percent from 2010. Compared with last year, planted area in North Dakota was down 34 percent due to extremely wet
spring conditions and is the lowest since 1975.
United States production of oil-type sunflower varieties, at 1.72 billion pounds, decreased 17 percent from 2010 and is the
lowest since 1990. Compared with last year, harvested acres are down 13 percent and the average yield decreased by
61 pounds, to 1,397 pounds per acre.
Production of non-oil sunflower varieties, at 316 million pounds, decreased 52 percent from last year and is the second
lowest since 1988. Area harvested, at 224,400 acres, is down 50 percent from 2010 and is the lowest since 1987. Although
the average yield decreased by 59 pounds from last year to 1,406 pounds per acre, it is still the fifth highest yield on
record.
As harvest of sunflowers began in early October, progress was slightly ahead of normal in Kansas and South Dakota but
lagged behind normal in Colorado and North Dakota. Through October, harvest in the four States progressed ahead of the
5-year average with the exception of Colorado. By October 30, harvest was 67 percent complete in the four major States,
compared with the 5-year average of 47 percent. Dry, warm weather during early November allowed harvest progress to
remain ahead of normal through November and reach 98 percent harvested in the four major States by November 20, nine
points ahead of normal for that date.
Soybeans: Production in 2011 totaled 3.06 billion bushels, up slightly from the November 1 forecast but down 8 percent
from 2010. United States production is the sixth largest on record. The average yield per acre is estimated at 41.5 bushels,
0.2 bushel above the November 1 forecast but 2.0 bushels below last year’s yield. Planted area for the Nation, at
75.0 million acres, is down 3 percent from last year. Soybean growers harvested 73.6 million acres, down slightly from
November and down 4 percent from last year.
Drought conditions across much of Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas hampered soybean development this year,
especially in Oklahoma and Texas where yields declined 12 and 11 bushels from last year, respectively. The average yield
in Oklahoma, at 13 bushels per acre, is the lowest since 1980, and the yield in Texas, at 19 bushels per acre, is the tied for
the lowest since 1955. In contrast, growing conditions were improved from a year ago across the Mid-Atlantic States, with
the average yield in Virginia tying the previous record high set in 2004.
The 2011 soybean objective yield survey data indicate that final average pod counts were lower than last year in all of the
eleven objective yield States with the exception of Nebraska. Compared with last year, pod counts were down more than
10 percent in Arkansas and Indiana.
Soybean planting got off to a less than ideal start as severe flooding during April contributed to planting delays this
spring. Heavy snowmelt created flooding along the upper and middle Mississippi River, while heavy rains induced
flooding across the Ohio Valley and Mid-South. During the last week of April, historic flooding occurred in southeastern
Missouri and neighboring areas as the flood crest moved south. Meanwhile, cool temperatures and rain combined to slow
down planting progress across the northern Corn Belt. As of May 29, fifty-one percent of the intended soybean acreage
was planted, 20 points behind normal and last year’s pace. Ohio was only at 7 percent planted, nearly 70 percentage points
less than the 5-year average for that date, and Indiana lagged 37 points behind the normal pace. However, significant
progress was made during June, and 97 percent of the intended crop was planted by June 26, one point ahead of last year
and the 5-year average.
Emergence of the soybean crop began behind normal and last year’s pace, and remained behind the normal pace
throughout May and nearly all of June. Soybeans reached 96 percent emerged by July 3, equal to the 5-year average but
1 point behind last year’s pace. Blooming progress for soybeans followed a very similar pattern to emergence progress,
remaining several points behind the 5-year average and last year’s pace throughout July. As of July 31, seventy-seven
86

Crop Production 2011 Summary (January 2012)

percent of the Nation’s crop was blooming, 4 points behind normal and 7 points behind last year. Thirty-four percent of
the acreage was setting pods by July 31, eleven points behind normal and 16 points behind last year.
By September 4, ninety-seven percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the pod-setting stage, 2 points behind last
year and 1 point behind normal. As of September 4, six percent of the Nation’s crop was dropping leaves,
11 percentage points behind last year and 7 points behind normal. Development of the crop continued to lag behind
normal through September, and by October 2, seventy-six percent of the soybean crop was dropping leaves or beyond,
11 points behind last year’s pace and 7 points behind the 5-year average. The percent of acreage dropping leaves was
more than 10 points behind normal in Arkansas, Michigan, and Tennessee, and more than 30 points behind normal in
Ohio.
Condition of the soybean crop was rated below last year’s crop throughout most of the growing season. As of October 2,
fifty-four percent of the United States soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 10 percentage points behind
the same week in 2010.
Soybean harvest in the 18 major States was 19 percent complete at the beginning of October, 15 points behind last year’s
pace and 6 points behind normal. With the exception of some areas of the central and southern Great Plains where several
inches of rain fell, mostly dry weather prevailed across the major soybean-producing area during the first week of
October, allowing harvest to progress rapidly. By October 9, fifty-one percent of soybeans were harvested, ahead of the
5-year average by 5 percentage points. Progress reached 96 percent complete by November 13, three percentage points
behind last year’s pace but 2 points ahead of normal. At that time, all of the 18 major States were equal to or ahead of the
normal pace with the exception of Ohio which continued to lag behind the 5-year average by 13 points due to the
continued effects of the extreme late planting this year.
Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2011 totaled 2.79 million bushels, down 69 percent from last year. This represents the
lowest production in the United States since 1997. Harvested area totaled 173,000 acres in 2011, down 59 percent from
last year. The decline in acreage was mainly due to unfavorable weather conditions in the spring and high prices of
competing commodities. The average yield for 2011, at 16.1 bushels per acre, is down 5.6 bushels from 2010 and
represents the lowest average yield for the United States since 2006.
Safflower: Production of safflower in 2011, at 170 million pounds, is down 23 percent from 2010, and is the lowest
production since records began in 1991. Growers planted a record low 130,700 acres in 2011, a decrease of 25 percent
from last year. Harvested area, at a record low 127,300 acres, is down 24 percent from the previous year. The yield, at
1,333 pounds per acre, increased 13 pounds from 2010.
Other Oilseeds: Mustard seed production for 2011 decreased 63 percent from last year to 15.6 million pounds, the lowest
production in the United States since 1996. Planted area, at 23,200 acres, is down 54 percent and is the lowest since 1996.
Harvested area, at 21,800 acres, is down 55 percent from 2010. The average yield, at 718 pounds per acre, is 152 pounds
below last year’s yield and is the fourth lowest yield on record.
Rapeseed production decreased 32 percent from last year to 2.83 million pounds. Growers planted 1,500 acres of rapeseed
in 2011, a decrease of 800 acres from last year. Harvested area, at 1,300 acres, is down 900 acres from last year. The
average yield is 2,177 pounds per acre, up 286 pounds from last year, and is the highest yield since records began in 1991.
Cotton: Upland cotton production is estimated at 14.8 million 480-pound bales, down 2 percent from the December 1
forecast and down 16 percent from last year. The United States yield for Upland cotton is estimated at 754 pounds per
acre, down 3 pounds from last month and down 51 pounds from 2010. Upland planted area, estimated at 14.4 million
acres, is up 34 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 9.44 million acres, is down 1 percent from last month and down
10 percent from last year. The Upland cotton abandonment rate, at 35 percent, is a record high.
Drought throughout much of the Cotton Belt was the main factor contributing to decreased Upland cotton production
compared with last year. Texas, Oklahoma, and Georgia experienced extremely hot, dry weather this growing season.
North Carolina and Virginia also saw reduced yields due to Hurricane Irene which made landfall in late-August.

Objective yield data in Georgia showed boll weight to be the highest on record. However, Georgia bolls per acre were the
lowest since 2002. Objective yield data in North Carolina showed boll weight to be the lowest since 2005. Texas objective
yield data showed boll weight to be the lowest since 2000.
American Pima producers planted 306,400 acres, up 50 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 303,900 acres, is up
51 percent from last year. Production is estimated at 845,700 bales (480-pound), up 15 percent from the August 1 forecast
and up 68 percent from last year. The United States yield is estimated at 1,336 pounds per acre, up 105 pounds from the
August 1 forecast and up 136 pounds from last year.
Ginnings totaled 13,951,950 running bales prior to January 1, compared with 16,441,500 running bales ginned prior to the
same date last year.
Cottonseed: Production for 2011, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 5.27 million tons, down
14 percent from last year.
Tobacco: United States all tobacco production for 2011 totaled 601 million pounds, down 6 percent from the October
forecast and 16 percent below last year. Growers harvested 324,830 acres, down 2 percent from the previous forecast and
4 percent below a year ago. Yield per acre averaged 1,850 pounds per acre, down 72 pounds from the previous forecast
and 278 pounds lower than 2010.
Flue-cured tobacco production totaled 347 million pounds, down 9 percent from the previous forecast and 23 percent
lower than last year. Harvested acres totaled 206,700 acres in 2011, down 3 percent from the October 1 forecast and
2 percent below a year ago. Yields averaged 1,681 pounds per acre, 111 pounds below the previous forecast and down
459 pounds from 2010. Heavy rains due to Hurricane Irene caused severe damage to the tobacco crop along the East
Coast.
Burley production totaled 172 million pounds, down 1 percent from the October forecast and 8 percent below last year.
Growers harvested 88,900 acres, slightly below the previous forecast and 9 percent below 2010. Yields averaged
1,938 pounds per acre, 6 pounds below October but 16 pounds above a year ago.
Sugarbeets: Production for 2011 is estimated at 28.8 million tons, down fractionally from the November 1 forecast and
10 percent below last year. Growers in the 10 major sugarbeet-producing States planted 1.23 million acres and harvested
1.21 million acres, both up 5 percent from last year. Estimated yield, at 23.7 tons per acre, is 0.2 ton below the November
forecast and 4 tons below last year.
A cool and wet spring delayed planting in much of the growing region. In addition to the unfavorable spring planting
conditions, Minnesota, which accounts for 31 percent of the total United States production, also experienced limited
moisture later in the growing season which reduced the crop’s yield potential. Idaho growers saw lower abandonment this
season due to favorable weather during the later planting. Following the poor spring weather, most States saw improved
growing conditions as the season progressed.
Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2011 is estimated at 28.3 million tons, of which 26.7 million
tons was utilized for sugar and 1.57 million tons for seed. Total production for sugar and seed is down 1 percent from the
December 1 forecast but up 3 percent from 2010. Sugarcane producers harvested 873,000 acres for sugar and seed in
2011, down 1 percent from the December forecast and less than one percent from last year. Yield for sugar and seed is
estimated at 32.4 tons per acre, up 0.1 tons from the December forecast and up 1.2 tons from 2010.
In Louisiana, growers experienced dry weather conditions during July and August, but received enough late rainfall to
achieve average yields. Drought conditions were also prevalent in Texas and on the Hawaiian island of Maui. In Florida,
rainfall during November delayed harvest which continued through December.
Dry beans: United States dry edible bean production is estimated at 19.8 million cwt for 2011, down 38 percent from
2010. Planted area is estimated at 1.21 million acres, down 37 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated at

1.16 million acres, 37 percent below the previous year. The average United States yield is estimated at 1,716 pounds per
acre, a decrease of 10 pounds from 2010.
Production is lower in 16 of the 18 States in the dry bean program. In the top five producing States (North Dakota,
Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Idaho) estimated production is down from last season.
In North Dakota, the largest producing State, harvest began the second week of September, about two weeks behind last
year. Harvest progressed quickly due to favorable weather. Harvest was essentially complete by the second week of
October, a week ahead of last year. Michigan’s dry bean harvest began on a limited basis the week of August 12 and
wrapped up in late-October.
In Minnesota, a cool, wet spring prevented some acres from being planted and slowed maturation. An early frost in
September further damaged the crop. In Nebraska, hail damage reduced expected yields.
Lentils: Production of lentils is estimated at 4.73 million cwt, down 45 percent from last year. Area harvested is estimated
at 411,000 acres, down 35 percent from the previous year. Average yield is 1,151 pounds per acre, down 214 pounds from
2010.
In North Dakota, planting began the beginning of May, three weeks behind last year due to wet conditions. Planting was
complete by July 10, about six weeks behind a year ago. Harvest started in early-August and was finished by October 2,
about a week behind last year and the 5-year average. Crop condition was rated mostly fair to good throughout the entire
growing season.
Montana lentil planting was nearly complete by June 12, with 94 percent emerged by June 26. Crop condition by
mid-August was mostly in the fair to good range. Lentil harvest was 94 percent complete on September 11, about the
same as the previous year.
Idaho had a cold, wet spring which resulted in fewer acres planted this year. However, a favorable growing season
resulted in increased yields from a year ago.
Wrinkled seed peas: Production is estimated at 509,000 cwt in 2011, down 12 percent from 2010. Production in both
Idaho and Washington decreased from a year ago.
Dry edible peas: Production of dry edible peas is estimated at 5.63 million cwt, down 60 percent from 2010. Planted area,
at 362,000 acres, fell by 394,000 acres or 52 percent from a year ago. Area harvested, at 342,800 acres, is 52 percent
below a year ago. These are the lowest planted, harvested, and production totals since 2003. Average yield is estimated at
1,641 pounds per acre, down 358 pounds from last season.
In North Dakota, planting began the beginning of May, three weeks behind last year due to extensive flooding and
extremely wet conditions in the growing areas. Planting was complete by July 10, about six weeks behind last year.
Harvest of the crop started in mid-August and was essentially finished by September 18, two weeks behind a year earlier.
Topsoil and subsoil moisture supplies in the northwest region were rated adequate to surplus throughout the season.
Condition of the crop was rated mostly fair to good throughout the growing year.
In Montana, dry peas were 99 percent planted by June 12, with 99 percent emerged by June 26. By late-June, crop
condition was rated mostly fair to good. Cool, wet spring conditions gave way to hot, dry weather in July and August,
which limited crop potential.
Idaho had a cold, wet spring which resulted in fewer acres planted this year. However, a favorable growing season
resulted in increased yields from last year.
Austrian winter peas: Planted area of Austrian winter peas is estimated at 18,000 acres, down 42 percent from a year
ago. Area harvested totaled 12,300 acres, down 31 percent from 2010. Production, at 180,000 cwt is down 24 percent

Spring potatoes: Production for 2011 is estimated at 25.6 million cwt, down slightly from the May 1 forecast but
3 percent above 2010. Harvested area totaled 91,500 acres, up 1 percent from the previous forecast and 7 percent above
the previous year. The average yield of 279 cwt per acre is down 4 cwt from the May 1 forecast and down 10 cwt from
2010.
Cold, wet weather delayed planting in California but did not adversely affect yields. In Florida, freezing temperatures
delayed planting in the Hastings area but yields were not affected. In other areas of Florida, significant potato acreage was
abandoned due to freeze damage. In North Carolina dry weather reduced yields according to grower reports.
Summer potatoes: Growers produced 13.0 million cwt of summer potatoes in 2011, down 3 percent from the September
forecast and down slightly from 2010. Harvested area, at 46,000 acres, is up 14 percent from last year. The average yield
of 282 cwt per acre is 39 cwt below 2010. Yield per acre declined from the previous year in seven of the nine producing
States.
Weather conditions challenged growers this season. In Missouri, excessive heat and flooding caused growers to abandon
acreage. A severe drought in Texas affected potato yields. In Maryland and Delaware growers experienced hot, dry
weather in the beginning of the season followed by wet conditions that caused potato rot and delayed harvest in some
areas.
Fall potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2011 is estimated at 389 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the
December forecast but up 6 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 939,200 acres, is unchanged from the December
forecast but 7 percent higher than last year. The average yield is estimated at 414 cwt per acre, up 2 cwt from the
December forecast but down 2 cwt from last year’s yield.
In Idaho, despite a cool, wet spring that delayed emergence, reported yields were high. In Maine and Massachusetts,
excessive rains caused some crop loss. Yields in New York were negatively impacted by flooding. In Wisconsin, growers
reported a good quality crop.
All potatoes: Total 2011 United States potato production is estimated at 427 million cwt, 6 percent above the 2010 crop.
Harvested area, at 1.08 million acres, is up 7 percent from last year. The average yield, at 397 cwt per acre, is down 4 cwt
from last year. Fall production is up 6 percent from the previous year but summer is down slightly from 2010. Spring
production increased 3 percent from 2010.
Sweet potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2011 is estimated at 27.0 million cwt, up 13 percent from last year.
Growers harvested 130,300 acres, up 11 percent from last year. Yield per acre, at 208 cwt, is up 4 cwt from last year.
North Carolina’s 2011 production is a record high and the yield of 200 cwt per acre matches the record high set in 2009.
In Mississippi weather conditions were favorable for sweet potatoes and growers reported an above average harvest. Cool
spring conditions in California caused a delay in planting and harvesting.
Peppermint oil: Production in 2011 is estimated at 6.57 million pounds, up 3 percent from last year. Harvested area is
estimated at 74,000 acres, up 4 percent from 2010.
Spearmint oil: Production is estimated at 2.29 million pounds for 2011, down 1 percent from last year. Harvested area is
estimated at 17,300 acres, down 7 percent from 2010. Average yield is estimated at 132 pounds of oil per acre, up
7 pounds from last year.
Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2011 totaled 64.8 million pounds, down 1 percent from the 2010
crop of 65.5 million pounds. Idaho’s production increased 10 percent in 2011. Production in Washington and Oregon
decreased 2 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Acreage decreased in all three States; 4 percent in Washington, 9 percent
in Oregon, and 3 percent in Idaho. However, yields increased in each State. The United States yield, at 2,175 pounds per
acre, increased 82 pounds from a year ago.

Crop Production 2011 Summary (January 2012)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Washington growers produced 79 percent of the United States hop crop in 2011. Zeus, Columbus/Tomahawk, Cascade,
and Super Galena were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 49 percent of the State’s hop production. In
Oregon, Nugget and Willamette were the major varieties, accounting for 58 percent of the State’s hop production.
Maple syrup: The preliminary 2011 United States maple syrup production estimate is 2.79 million gallons, up 43 percent
from last year. The preliminary number of taps is estimated at 9.58 million, 3 percent above the 2010 total of 9.26 million.
Yield per tap is estimated at 0.292 gallons, up 38 percent from the previous season. All States showed an increase in
production from 2010.
Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.30 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2011-2012 season, down
6 percent from the previous season. Damage caused by the Coffee Berry Borer has had an impact on the crop’s potential
but it will not be fully realized until harvest comes to a close. On the Big Island, weather conditions improved from last
season’s abnormally dry weather.
Taro: Hawaii taro production for the 2011 crop year is estimated at 4.10 million pounds, up 5 percent from the previous
year. Area in crop, at 485 acres, is up 10 acres from 2010. Weather varied throughout the year with drought in some areas
and excess precipitation in others.

Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: The estimates in this report are based primarily on surveys conducted the first two weeks of
December. The December Agricultural Survey (DAS) is a probability survey that includes a sample of over 83,500 farm
operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to be selected.
These operators were contacted by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on crop acreage,
yield and production for the 2011 crop year.
Estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and farm operator reported data (DAS) were reviewed
for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather
patterns and crop progress compared with previous years. Each Field Office submits an estimate and written analysis for
their State to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data, administrative data, and the State
analysis to prepare the estimates published in this report.
Revision policy: Estimates contained in this report may be revised the following year, if new information is available that
would justify a change. Estimates will also be reviewed after data for the 5-year Census of Agriculture are available. No
revisions will be made after that date.
Reliability: The surveys used to make the acreage, yield, and production estimates contained in this report are subject to
sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. Reliability of the objective yield and farmer
survey must be treated separately because the survey designs for the two surveys are different. The objective yield
indications (corn, cotton, and soybeans) are subject to sampling variability because all acres of a given commodity are not
included in the sample.
The farm operator survey indications are also subject to sampling variability because not all operations with commodities
of interest are included in the sample. This variability, as measured by the relative standard error at the National level, is
approximately 1.1 for corn, 1.7 for Upland cotton and 1.0 for soybeans. This means that chances are approximately 95 out
of 100 that survey estimates for production will be within plus or minus 2.2 percent for corn, 3.4 percent for Upland
cotton, and 2.0 percent for soybeans.
Survey indications are also 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.
