Crop Production 2014 Summary (January 2015)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

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: 2012-2014
[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]

2014 Annual Weather Summary
Highlights: The same general weather pattern that led to the most severe Midwestern winter in more than three decades
contributed to a cool summer regime that fueled record-high United States corn and soybean yields and production.
However, the Midwestern growing season was not perfect, as spring planting delays and cool conditions resulted in
late-developing crops and subsequent harvest delays across the northern Corn Belt. In addition, too much rain fell in some
parts of the Midwest in June and August, while unfavorably dry weather prevailed in July.
Farther west, the central and southern Plains’ hard red winter wheat crop was effectively wrecked by a combination of
drought, winter weather extremes, and spring freezes. In the same region, summer crops performed better than winter
wheat due to relatively cool weather and occasional rainfall. However, the lingering effects of a 4-year drought still led to
a disappointing outcome for several commodities, including cotton. Meanwhile, too much late-summer rain proved an
untimely detriment to small grains across the northern High Plains and the Northwest, disrupting harvest and
compromising crop quality.
In contrast, drought records were set in the Far West, where California completed its warmest, driest stretch of
3 consecutive water years (October 1, 2011 – September 30, 2014) during the 120-year period of record. California’s
reservoir storage fell below 60 percent of normal by the end of June and spent the remainder of the year at its
second-lowest level behind 1977. Other impacts of California’s historic drought included groundwater depletion,
rangeland stress, and fallow farmland.
On the strength of generally wet summer conditions across the central Plains and the Midwest, overall United States
drought coverage fell to 29 percent by year’s end, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, down from 33 percent on
January 7, 2014. However, drought steadfastly continued through a fourth year across portions of the southern Plains, and
persisted through a third year in California and neighboring areas. The U.S. Drought Monitor’s peak coverage for 2014
occurred on May 6, when 40 percent of the country was experiencing drought.
Winter 2013-14: The coldest winter since 1978-79 gripped Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin,
while Michigan endured its coldest winter since 1976-77. The Midwest experienced not only bitter cold, but also abundant
snowfall, which resulted in travel disruptions and stressful conditions for livestock.
Meanwhile, drought persisted or intensified from California to the southern Plains under a mild, mostly dry weather
regime. Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas endured near-record winter dryness. California, nearing the end of a third
consecutive year of drought, noted its warmest, third-driest winter on record. Previously, California’s warmest winter had
occurred in 1980-81, while the only drier winters had been 1976-77 and 1990-91. Ironically, California’s warm winter
began with a December freeze that harmed crops, including citrus, in the Central Valley.
Between the extremes, the Plains were subjected to frequent and rapid temperature changes. Abundant precipitation,
mostly snow, fell across the northern Plains, but generally dry, breezy conditions—along with the frequent lack of
protective snow—led to declines in winter wheat condition across the central and southern Plains.
Elsewhere, the South and East endured periodic bouts of wintry weather and extreme cold, although conditions were not
as chronically harsh as those observed in the Midwest. In addition, winter agricultural areas of Texas and Florida escaped
without a significant freeze.
Spring: The central and eastern United States rebounded from a severe winter, although lingering cool, wet conditions
delayed spring planting activities for several weeks in some areas—especially across northern portions of the Plains and
Corn Belt. Much warmer weather arrived across the northern Plains and Midwest during the second half of May,
promoting the germination and establishment of late-planted crops. Farther south, late-spring rainfall on the central and
southern Plains benefited summer crops and revived rangeland and pastures, but arrived too late to salvage a winter wheat
crop that had been battered by drought, winter weather extremes, and spring freezes. Meanwhile, a late-spring drying
trend across the interior Northwest became an agricultural concern with respect to rangeland, pastures, winter wheat, and
spring-sown crops, despite wetness earlier in the season. Elsewhere, occasional spring showers from California into the
Southwest failed to significantly dent a 3-year drought or improve water-supply prospects. Above-normal temperatures

aggravated the drought situation in California and neighboring areas, as meager snowpack melted early and late-spring
heat boosted irrigation demands.
Spring temperatures averaged at least 2 to 4°F above normal in much of California and parts of adjoining States, while
near- to below-normal temperatures prevailed from the Plains to the East Coast. Spring was slowest to arrive in the upper
Great Lakes region, where March-May temperatures averaged at least 4 to 6°F below normal.
Below-normal spring precipitation dominated the central and southern Plains and the Southwest, despite widespread,
late-May rainfall. Much of the remainder of the country experienced near- to above-normal precipitation, with the wettest
areas—relative to normal—including the Pacific Northwest, parts of the upper Midwest, and portions of the eastern Gulf
Coast region.
Summer: The summer of 2014 featured plenty of Midwestern rain in June and August, but a dry spell during July.
However, temperatures rarely, if ever, climbed to stressful levels for Midwestern summer crops, allowing corn and
soybeans to develop under mostly favorable conditions. Farther south, precipitation was more erratic and temperatures
were slightly higher. As a result, pockets of stress for crops such as cotton and peanuts developed across the South. Areas
of greatest concern included the southern Plains, due to lingering subsoil moisture shortages, and the Southeast, where
summer dryness was rather persistent. Meanwhile, untimely, late-summer rainfall harmed maturing small grains across
portions of the northern High Plains (e.g. Montana) and the interior Northwest (e.g. Idaho). The heavy rain caused not
only crop-quality issues, including sprouting in grain heads, but also slowed small grain harvesting. Elsewhere, a robust
summer monsoon season in much of the Four Corners States and parts of the Great Basin contrasted with hot, mostly dry
conditions in the Far West. In particular, California’s reservoir storage fell to 57 percent of average by the end of August.
Low-reservoir levels also remained a concern in several other Western States, including Nevada, New Mexico, and
Oregon.
Summer temperatures averaged at least 2°F below normal in several areas from the northern Plains into the Mississippi
Valley and Great Lakes region. In contrast, persistent heat gripped the Pacific Coast States and the western Great Basin,
boosting summer temperatures 2 to 4°F above normal in many locations.
Below-normal summer precipitation was mostly limited to the Southeast. Most of the remainder of the country
experienced near- to above-normal precipitation, with the wettest areas—relative to normal—covering the upper Midwest
and northern New England.
Autumn: Western warmth contrasted with chilly autumn conditions in much of the central and eastern United States.
Although overall temperatures were slightly above the long-term mean on the strength of Western and Northeastern
warmth, it was among the ten coolest autumns in Illinois and Indiana. Meanwhile, California experienced it warmest
September-November period during the 120-year period of record.
Most of the Nation experienced near- to above-average autumn precipitation, although somewhat dry conditions existed
across the interior Northeast and upper Midwest. In the latter region, dry fall weather aided in the maturation and
harvesting of late-developing corn and soybeans. Other precipitation highlights included the contribution of four former
eastern Pacific hurricanes—Norbert, Odile, Simon, and Vance—to autumn rainfall in parts of the southern United States,
as well as the onset of seasonal storminess in the West. In general, precipitation was heavier across the Rockies and the
Northwest than in California and the Great Basin, resulting in very little relief in the West’s core drought areas.
December: Limited drought relief came to California in the form of several periods of heavy precipitation, highlighted by
a moisture-laden storm on December 11-12. Though the rain improved topsoil moisture, benefited winter grains, and
helped to revive rangeland and pastures, significant effects from the 3-year drought—including groundwater depletion and
low reservoir levels—persisted. Precipitation also spread into other areas of the West. Like California, however,
snowpack in the Pacific Northwest languished due to warm conditions, despite an abundance of storms. Farther east, a
very cold November was followed by a mostly mild December. Thawing, muddy fields led to delays in final corn harvest
efforts in the Great Lakes region. Most other late-season fieldwork across the South, East, and Midwest was eventually
curtailed due to increasingly wet conditions. Elsewhere, mid- to late-month precipitation (rain and snow) provided a little
bit of beneficial moisture across winter wheat areas of the central and southern Plains. Moving through the overwintering

period, wheat-related concerns included lingering drought (on the southern Plains); the effects of November’s cold wave
(on the central High Plains); and issues related to late planting and poor crop establishment (in the southern and eastern
Corn Belt).
2014 Annual Crop Summary
April: Most of the United States recorded near average temperatures and precipitation for the month of April, but cold
and wet conditions delayed planting in the Northern Plains and northern areas of Great Lakes region. Corn producers had
planted 3 percent of the 2014 crop by April 13, slightly ahead of last year but 3 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Planting progressed slowly during the month due to snow-covered or wet fields and low soil temperatures. By
May 4, twenty-nine percent of the corn crop was planted, 18 percentage points ahead of last year but 13 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. With activity limited to Arizona, California, and Texas, 6 percent of the Nation’s cotton crop
was planted by April 6, slightly ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. By May 4, producers Nationwide had
planted 16 percent of the cotton crop, slightly behind the same time last year and 9 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Late in the month, a storm bringing rainfall, tornadoes, strong winds, and subfreezing temperatures damaged
crops with varying severity from Colorado across the southern United States.
May: Above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation throughout most of the United States in May allowed
producers to catch up in planting progress after an April marked by cool and wet field conditions. At the beginning of the
month, heading pace of winter wheat was at or behind the 5-year average in all States except Oklahoma and Oregon.
Severe drought conditions in the Southern Plains had a dramatic impact on the winter wheat crop, with poor fields in
Oklahoma and Texas being baled for hay or otherwise abandoned. Late-month precipitation was beneficial to this area but
likely too late to revive drought-stricken wheat. Producers had planted 57 percent of this year’s rice crop by May 4,
four percentage points ahead of last year but 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Planting progress advanced
18 percentage points Nationwide during the week ending May 11, bringing the overall total to 75 percent complete,
8 percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 25, rice seeding was
nearly complete in all estimating States except California and Mississippi, reaching 95 percent complete at the National
level. As May began, soybean producers were just beginning to plant this year’s crop. Progress was most advanced in the
lower Mississippi Valley but was well behind normal throughout the rest of the Nation due to unfavorable planting
conditions earlier this spring. Many producers in the central Great Plains, middle Mississippi Valley, and Ohio River
Valley were able to make significant planting gains during the first half of the month, but all States were able to see
significant gains towards the end of the month as producers had ample time for field work and were able to switch their
focus from planting corn to planting soybeans. Producers had planted 78 percent of the Nation’s soybean crop by June 1,
twenty-three percentage points ahead of last year and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
June: Notable areas of high precipitation occurred during the month of June in portions of the northern Great Plains and
the lower Mississippi Valley. Areas of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Tennessee recorded over 12 inches
of precipitation for the month. Early in the month, storms brought high winds, minor hail damage, and flooding to
portions of Tennessee. The second half of the month brought heavy rainfall to the northern Great Plains and upper
Midwest that left the soil saturated, stressing crops and delaying efforts to finish planting in the region. By June 29,
seventy-five percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition, 8 percentage points above the same time
last year. Nationally, 94 percent of the soybean crop had emerged by June 29, four percentage points ahead of last year
but equal to the 5-year average. Ten percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage by
June 29, seven percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. By June 22, a majority of the barley
crop had reached the heading stage in Idaho and Washington, while the crop had just begun heading in Minnesota and
North Dakota. Seventeen percent of the Nation’s barley crop was at or beyond the heading stage by June 22, slightly
ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Thirty-one percent of the barley crop was at or
beyond the heading stage by June 29, five percentage points ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year
average. By the end of the month, barley development was well ahead of normal in the Pacific Northwest, but heading
progress was 29 percentage points behind the 5-year average in Minnesota. By June 29, winter wheat producers had
harvested 43 percent of the Nation’s crop, 3 percentage points ahead of last year but 5 percentage points behind the 5-year
average.

July: Nearly all areas east of the Rocky Mountains recorded below-average temperatures for the month of July. Most
areas of the Middle Mississippi Valley and the Ohio Valley recorded average temperatures for the month more than 4°F
below normal. Conversely, warm temperatures and dry conditions were recorded in the Pacific Northwest and California,
with some locations recording average temperatures for the month more than 6°F above normal. Overall, cooler
temperatures in major corn and soybean producing States helped balance out drier conditions preventing a significant
decrease in soil moisture and crop condition. Sorghum planting, which was 98 percent complete on July 6, was nearly
finished Nationwide by the beginning of the month. At the beginning of the month, sorghum was reported to have reached
the coloring stage only in Louisiana and Texas. However, by July 27, eight of the 11 estimating States reported sorghum
coloring. Forty-four percent of this year’s peanut crop was at or beyond the pegging stage by July 6, nine percentage
points ahead of last year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Near the beginning of the month, producers
in Alabama were reporting deteriorating peanut conditions due to persistent rainfall. By the end of the month, producers in
Florida and Georgia were reporting issues with army worms in the peanut crop. By August 3, ninety-one percent of the
peanut crop was pegging, 4 percentage points ahead of last year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By
July 20, eighty-five percent of the cotton crop was at or beyond the squaring stage, 9 percentage points ahead of last year
and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationwide, 38 percent of the cotton crop was setting bolls by
July 20, twelve percentage points ahead of last year and slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By August 3,
ninety-five percent of the cotton crop was at or beyond the squaring stage, 2 percentage points ahead of last year but on
par with the 5-year average. Nationally, 68 percent of the cotton crop was setting bolls by August 3, seventeen percentage
points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. While cooler temperatures and localized
moisture issues caused a slight decline in corn condition towards the end of the month, reported at 73 percent in the good
to excellent categories, ratings continued to be at historically high levels for this point in the growing season.
August: Average temperatures varied across the Nation during the month of August with most of the Corn Belt and the
Great Plains recording averages within 2°F of normal temperatures. Precipitation totals were also near normal levels for
the month with the most notable exception occurring in western Iowa, which recorded over 10 inches of rainfall for the
month. Six percent of the spring wheat crop was harvested by August 10, slightly ahead of last year but 15 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. At the beginning of the month, spring wheat harvest was well behind normal in the
upper Midwest. Thirty-eight percent of the spring wheat crop was harvested by August 31, twenty-three percentage points
behind last year and 27 percentage points behind the 5-year average. At the end of the month, spring wheat harvest in
Minnesota was nearly 3 weeks behind the 5-year average. Ninety percent of the soybean crop was setting pods by
August 24, eight percentage points ahead of last year and slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Ninety-five percent of the
crop was setting pods by August 31, four percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. By
August 31, five percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was dropping leaves, 2 percentage points ahead of last year but
2 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
September: Most of the Nation saw above-average temperatures for the month of September, however, locations across
the Corn Belt generally recorded below-average temperatures for the month, slowing down the maturity of row crops
before harvest began. The corn harvest began in most southern Corn Belt locations by the middle of the month with
4 percent of the Nation’s corn harvested by September 14, equal to the same time last year but 5 percentage points behind
the 5-year average. Nationally, 12 percent of the corn crop was harvested by September 28, slightly ahead of last year but
11 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Thirteen percent of the Nation’s sugarbeet acreage had been harvested by
September 28, four percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. Idaho sugarbeets were 23 percent
harvested by the end of the month, approximately 10 days ahead of the 5-year average pace. By September 21,
ninety-five percent of this year’s barley crop was harvested, 4 percentage points behind last year but equal to the 5-year
average. Ninety-four percent of the spring wheat crop was harvested by September 28, slightly behind last year and
2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Fifty-nine percent of the Nation’s rice crop was harvested by
September 28, three percentage points ahead of last year but 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. The rice
harvest was nearly complete in Louisiana and Texas by the end of the month, and over a majority of the crop had been
harvested in Arkansas and Mississippi. The seeding of the 2015 winter wheat crop was underway by the beginning of
September with 3 percent planted by September 7, two percentage points behind last year and slightly behind the 5-year
average. Producers had sown 43 percent of the Nation’s winter wheat acreage by September 28, six percentage points
ahead of last year’s pace and 7 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 10 percent of the soybean crop
was harvested by September 28, equal to last year but 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 72 percent
of the soybean crop was reported in good to excellent condition on September 28, equal to the beginning of the month but

19 percentage points better than the same time last year. Soybean condition ratings in the good to excellent categories are
as high as they had been this late in the season since 1994.
October: Warmer-than-normal temperatures were recorded for nearly the entire Nation during the month of October.
Exceptions were noted in the Great Lakes region and Florida, where average monthly temperatures were slightly below
normal. Scattered rain throughout the month in the Corn Belt led to delays in fall fieldwork, although periods of warm and
dry weather allowed harvest to progress for row crops. By November 2, producers had sown 90 percent of the Nation’s
intended winter wheat 2015 acreage, equal to last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 59 percent of the
winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition at the end of the month, 4 percentage points below the same
time in 2013. Nationally, 65 percent of the corn was harvested by November 2, six percentage points behind last year and
8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 74 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent
condition on October 26, unchanged from the beginning of the month but 12 percentage points better than the same time
last year. This represents the highest October corn condition rating since 2004. Eighty-three percent of the soybean crop
was harvested by November 2, two percentage points behind last year but equal to the 5-year average. By November 2,
fifty percent of the cotton crop was harvested, 8 percentage points ahead of last year but slightly behind the 5-year
average. Overall, 48 percent of the cotton crop was reported in good to excellent condition at the end of the month, down
slightly from September 28 but 5 percentage points better than the same time last year. Producers had harvested
79 percent of the Nation’s peanut crop by November 2, three percentage points behind last year but 3 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average.
November: Temperatures were below normal in areas east of the Rocky Mountains with a large band of States from the
Dakotas to Alabama recording average temperatures more than 6°F below normal. A winter storm in the middle of the
month led to snow cover in the Northern Plains and the Upper Midwest but major winter wheat producing regions
continue to lack protective snow cover for the emerging wheat crop. By November 16, ninety-five percent of the
2015 winter wheat was seeded, 4 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
Overall, 58 percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition at the end of the month, slightly
below the beginning of the month and 4 percentage points below than the same time last year. With corn development
behind normal for most of the 2014 growing season, harvest progress accelerated in November. However, by
November 9, eighty percent of the corn was harvested, 2 percentage points behind last year but equal to the 5-year
average. This was the first time that the corn harvest pace was not behind the 5-year average during the 2014 growing
season, catching up from a 22 percentage point deficit on October 19. Ninety-four percent of the corn crop was harvested
by November 23, equal to last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Peanut producers had harvested
97 percent of the Nation’s crop by November 23, equal to last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Locations in Georgia saw freezing temperatures throughout the month, stopping the development and accelerating harvest
in the State. By November 23, seventy-seven percent of the cotton crop was harvested, equal to last year but 6 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. Producers harvested 22 percent of the sugarbeet crop in both Idaho and Michigan during
the first week of the month. By November 9, ninety-eight percent of the Nation’s sugarbeet acreage had been harvested,
2 percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average.
Crop Comments
Corn: Corn for grain production in the United States is estimated at a record 14.2 billion bushels, down 1 percent from
the November forecast but up 3 percent from the revised 2013 estimate. The average yield in the United States is
estimated at a record high 171.0 bushels per acre. This is down 2.4 bushels from the November forecast but 12.9 bushels
above the revised 2013 average yield of 158.1 bushels per acre.
Estimated yields in 2014 are up from the previous year across most of the major corn producing States. Favorable
growing conditions across much of the nation helped corn growers achieve a record crop. Record yields are estimated in
Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi,
Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and West Virginia.
Corn planted area, at 90.6 million acres, is down 5 percent from 2013. Area harvested for grain is estimated at
83.1 million acres, up slightly from the November forecast, but down 5 percent from the revised 2013 estimate.

Crop Production 2014 Summary (January 2015)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

The 2014 corn objective yield data indicate the highest number of ears per acre on record for the combined 10 objective
yield States (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin).
Record high ear counts were recorded in Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Corn silage production is estimated at 128 million tons for 2014, up 8 percent from 2013 and represents the highest
production on record for the United States. The United States silage yield is estimated at 20.1 tons per acre, up 1.3 tons
from 2013. Area harvested for silage is estimated at 6.37 million acres, up 1 percent from a year ago.
The start of this year’s corn planting was delayed due to late season winter storms and lingering cold weather across most
of the Midwest. More favorable weather conditions returned to the major corn producing areas by the end of April,
allowing producers to plant 19 percent of the corn crop by April 27, fourteen percentage points ahead of 2013. Weather
conditions improved significantly during the week ending May 11, when 59 percent of the corn was in the ground,
33 percentage points ahead of 2013. As May drew to a close, dry, warm conditions across the corn-producing regions
aided planting progress and crop development. By the end of May, 60 percent of the Nation’s corn crop had emerged,
11 percentage points ahead of 2013, but 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
By the start of June, above-average temperatures throughout the Corn Belt aided crop development but untimely rains in
some areas prevented post-planting fieldwork. However, the moisture received at the beginning of the month allowed for
97 percent of the crop to be emerged by June 15, six percentage points ahead of 2013. Seventy-four percent of the corn
crop was reported in good to excellent condition by June 22, nine percentage points better than the same time in 2013.
July began with below-normal temperatures in the Corn Belt, which helped the crop to rapidly progress in development.
By July 13, thirty-four percent of this year’s corn crop was at or beyond the silking stage, with 76 percent of the crop
reported in good to excellent condition. By July 27, seventeen percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the dough stage,
9 percentage points ahead of 2013.
Most areas of the Corn Belt received beneficial rainfall during August. By August 10, fifty-four percent of the crop was at
or beyond the dough stage, 24 percentage points ahead of 2013 and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By
August 17, denting progress remained behind the respective State 5-year averages in 14 of the 18 estimating States.
Warmer weather returned to the Great Plains by mid-August helping to aid corn development. August 31 corn conditions
were the highest they had been this late in the season since 2004.
By September 14, twenty-seven percent of the corn crop was mature, 7 percentage points ahead of 2013 but 12 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. By September 21, corn harvest progress was behind the State 5-year averages in all
estimating States except Texas. The corn crop ended the month with 60 percent of the crop mature, equal to the same time
in 2013 but 10 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
Above-average rainfall slowed fieldwork in the Corn Belt during the week ending October 5. Nationwide, producers had
harvested 17 percent of the corn by October 5, fifteen percentage points behind the 5-year average. By October 26, dry
conditions across the Corn Belt aided fall fieldwork; however, harvest progress remained behind the 5-year average pace
in all estimating States except Tennessee. Nationally, 65 percent of the corn was harvested by November 2, six percentage
points behind 2013 and 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Harvest was virtually complete by November 23,
when 94 percent of the corn crop had been harvested, 2 percent ahead of the 5-year average.
Sorghum: Grain production in 2014 is estimated at 433 million bushels, up 6 percent from the November forecast and up
11 percent from the revised 2013 grain production total. Planted area is estimated at 7.14 million acres, down 11 percent
from last year’s revised planted acres. Area harvested for grain, at 6.40 million acres, is down 2 percent from the 2013
revised harvested acres. Average grain yield, at 67.6 bushels per acre, is up 1.5 bushels from the previous forecast and up
8.0 bushels from last year.
Silage production is estimated at 4.12 million tons, down 24 percent from 2013. Area harvested for silage is estimated at
315,000 acres, down 17 percent from the previous year. Silage yields averaged 13.1 tons per acre, down 1.2 tons per acre
from 2013.

Grain yields are up in all States except Arkansas, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Dakota. The Southern States
experienced yield declines due to cool wet seasonal temperatures compared to the previous year.
Oats: The 2014 production is estimated at 69.7 million bushels, up 8 percent from the 2013 total but represents the fourth
lowest production on record. Yield is estimated at 67.7 bushels per acre, up 3.6 bushels from the previous year. Harvested
area, at 1.03 million acres, is 2 percent above the previous year. This is the fourth lowest acreage harvested for grain on
record. Record low acres were harvested in California, Kansas, Montana, and Utah.
Favorable growing conditions in the Northern Great Plains and the Ohio Valley promoted significant yield increases
compared with 2013. Drought conditions in Texas led to a large decline in yield from 2013. Record high yields are
estimated in Alabama, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Virginia. During early spring,
planting and emergence of the oat crop was behind the normal pace. By April 13, producers Nationwide had sown
9 percent of the oat crop, 29 percentage points behind the previous year and 38 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Despite more favorable conditions during the middle of the April, which led to planting progress advancing
22 percentage points in Iowa and 39 percentage points in Nebraska during the week ending April 20, National progress
remained well behind normal by the end of April. Forty percent of this year’s oat crop was seeded by May 4,
sixteen percentage points behind the previous year and 31 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Planting progress
was furthest behind in the upper Midwest, 45 percentage points behind the 5-year average in Minnesota and 41 percentage
points behind normal in Wisconsin. Throughout June, crop development remained behind normal in most major
oat-producing States. As of June 29, sixty-nine percent of the oat acreage was headed, 4 percentage points behind the
5-year average. By the beginning of August, 40 percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 9 percentage points behind the
normal pace. By August 31, eighty percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 13 percentage points behind the 5-year
average.
Barley: Production is estimated at 177 million bushels, down 18 percent from the 2013 total. Average yield per acre, at
72.4 bushels, is up 1.1 bushels from the previous year and represents the third highest yield on record for the
United States. Producers seeded 2.98 million acres in 2014, down 16 percent from last year. Harvested area, at
2.44 million acres, is down 20 percent from 2013.
Barley seeding was ahead of normal in Idaho by mid-April, while poor field conditions delayed progress in Minnesota and
North Dakota. By May 4, seeding Nationwide had advanced to 46 percent complete, 4 percentage points ahead of last
year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Barley seeding continued to advance ahead of the normal pace
in Montana and the Pacific Northwest throughout May. By May 18, thirty-seven percent of the crop had emerged,
3 percentage points ahead of last year but 3 percentage points behind the five-year average. Nationwide, 93 percent of the
barley crop was seeded by June 1, eleven percentage points ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year
average. By June 22, a majority of the crop had reached the heading stage in Idaho and Washington, while the crop had
just begun heading in Minnesota and North Dakota. Seventeen percent of the Nation’s barley crop was at or beyond the
heading stage by June 22, slightly ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall,
68 percent of the barley crop was reported in good to excellent condition on June 29, equal to the same time in 2013.
Harvest had begun in the Pacific Northwest by the middle of the July. By August 3, twelve percent of the barley crop was
harvested in Idaho, 34 percent was harvested in Oregon, and 20 percent was harvested in Washington. In the middle of
August, rain was increasing the level of disease and mold in many barley fields in Idaho, with barley sprouting in the
heads decreasing the quality of the crop. By August 31, fifty-eight percent of the barley crop was harvested, 15 percentage
points behind last year and 10 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Barley rated in the good to excellent
categories dropped 14 percentage points over the month of August, reported at 52 percent on August 31. By
September 14, ninety-one percent of the barley crop was harvested, 4 percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead
of the 5-year average.
All wheat production totaled 2.03 billion bushels in 2014, down 5 percent from the 2013 total. Area harvested for grain
totaled 46.4 million acres, up 2 percent from the previous year. The United States yield is estimated at 43.7 bushels per
acre, down 3.4 bushels from the previous year. The levels of production and changes from 2013 by type are winter wheat,
1.38 billion bushels, down 11 percent; other spring wheat, 595 million bushels, up 11 percent; and Durum wheat,
53.1 million bushels, down 8 percent.

Winter wheat: Winter wheat production for 2014 totaled 1.38 billion bushels, down 11 percent from the 2013 total. The
United States yield, at 42.6 bushels per acre, is down 4.7 bushels from 2013. Area harvested for grain is estimated at
32.3 million acres, down 1 percent from the previous year.
Planted acres were up from 2013 in most of the major Hard Red Winter (HRW) growing States. Particularly large acreage
increases occurred in Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, and North Dakota. Conversely, Oklahoma and Texas had
large decreases in planted acres from the previous year. Harvested acres were up across the HRW region, with large
increases in Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. A record high yield is estimated in Nebraska,
South Dakota, and Wyoming. Nationally, HRW production totaled 738 million bushels, down 1 percent from 2013.
In the Soft Red Winter (SRW) growing area, planted and harvested acreage decreases from 2013 were experienced
throughout the region. Record high yields were realized in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. SRW production totaled
455 million bushels, down 20 percent from 2013.
White winter production totaled 184 million bushels, down 19 percent from the previous year. Harvested acreage in the
Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) was below what was harvested in 2013. Yields were also down from
last year in all Pacific Northwest States.
Other spring wheat: Production for 2014 is estimated at 595 million bushels, up 11 percent from the 2013 total.
Harvested area totaled 12.7 million acres, up 12 percent from 2013. The United States yield is estimated at 46.7 bushels
per acre, down slightly from 2013. Of the total production, 556 million bushels are Hard Red Spring wheat, up 13 percent
from 2013. Record high yields are estimated in the Dakotas.
By May 4, producers had sown 26 percent of the spring wheat crop, 5 percentage points ahead of the previous year but
15 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Following the trend of other small grains, planting progress started the
month well behind normal but caught up to the 5-year average by the end of the month in most estimating States. Delays
in planting progress were most evident in Minnesota and North Dakota, where producers were not able to make
significant planting progress until mid-month. Nationally, producers had sown 88 percent of the spring wheat crop by
June 1, eight percentage points ahead of the previous year but equal to the 5-year average. Forty-seven percent of the
spring wheat was at or beyond the heading stage by July 6, six percentage points ahead of the previous year but equal to
the 5-year average. Spring wheat progress remained well ahead of normal in the Pacific Northwest but behind the 5-year
average pace in the Northern Great Plains. Thirty-eight percent of the spring wheat crop was harvested by August 31,
twenty-three percentage points behind the previous year and 27 percentage points behind the 5-year average. At the end of
the month, spring wheat harvest in Minnesota was nearly 3 weeks behind the 5-year average.
Durum wheat: Production for 2014 is estimated at 53.1 million bushels, down 8 percent from the 2013 total. Grain area
harvested totaled 1.34 million acres, down slightly from the previous year. The United States yield is estimated at
39.7 bushels per acre, down 3.6 bushels from 2013. Production in North Dakota, the largest Durum-producing State, is
down 4 percent from 2013. A record high yield is estimated in South Dakota.
Due to excessive moisture this past season, crop development progressed significantly behind normal in Montana and
North Dakota, the two largest Durum-producing States. As a result, harvest progress in North Dakota and Montana as of
August 31 was well behind last year and the 5-year average.
Rice: Production in 2014 is estimated at 221 million cwt, down slightly from the previous forecast but up 16 percent from
the revised 2013 total. Planted area for 2014 is estimated at 2.94 million acres, up 18 percent from 2013. Lower prices for
competing commodities in 2014 contributed to the increase in rice acres compared with the previous year in many rice
producing States. However, rice planted acreage in California for 2014 declined 23 percent due to continued drought.
Area harvested, at 2.92 million acres, is also up 18 percent from the previous crop year. The average yield for all United
States rice is estimated at 7,572 pounds per acre, down 25 pounds from the previous forecast and 122 pounds below the
2013 United States average of 7,694 pounds per acre. Record high yields were estimated in Arkansas and Mississippi for
2014.

Rye: Production for 2014 is estimated at 7.19 million bushels, down 6 percent from the 2013 total. Harvested area totaled
258,000 acres, down 20,000 acres from 2013. The United States yield, at 27.9 bushels per acre, is up 0.5 bushel from the
previous year. Drier weather conditions in the Southern Great Plains and the Southeast led to decreases in harvested acres
from a year earlier.
Proso millet: Production of proso millet in 2014 totaled 13.5 million bushels, compared with the 18.4 million bushels
produced in 2013. Area planted to proso millet in the United States is estimated at 505,000 acres, down 215,000 acres
from 2013. Area harvested in the United States, at 430,000 acres, is down 208,000 acres from 2013. The average yield for
2014 is estimated at 31.4 bushels per acre, up 2.5 bushels from the previous year.
All hay: Production of all dry hay for 2014 is estimated at 139.8 million tons, down 6 percent from the October 1 forecast
but up 4 percent from the revised 2013 total. Area harvested is estimated at 57.1 million acres, down less than 1 percent
from the October 1 forecast and down 1 percent from 2013. The average yield, at 2.45 tons per acre, is down 0.13 ton
from the October forecast but up 0.12 ton from the previous year.
Alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Production in 2014 is estimated at 61.4 million tons, down 5 percent from the
October forecast but up 7 percent from the revised 2013 total. Harvested area, at 18.4 million acres, is up 1 percent from
the October forecast and 4 percent above the previous year. Average yield is estimated at 3.33 tons per acre, 0.22 ton
below the October forecast but up 0.09 ton from 2013.
Alfalfa production was generally up across the Nation in 2014 as a result of higher yields compared with 2013. Significant
yield reductions were noted in many western States due to the persistent dry conditions.
All other hay: Production in 2014 totaled 78.4 million tons, down 7 percent from the October forecast but up less than
1 percent from the revised 2013 total. Harvested area, at 38.6 million acres, is down 2 percent from the October forecast
and down 4 percent from last year. Average yield is estimated at 2.03 tons per acre, down 0.10 ton from the October
forecast but up 0.10 ton from 2013.
Despite lower harvested acreage than in 2013, other dry hay production was up in 2014 due to improved yield. Good
moisture during the growing season was beneficial.
Forage: Eighteen States are included 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 2014 all haylage and
greenchop production for the 18 States in the forage program was 32.1 million tons, of which 21.8 million tons are from
alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. The total all haylage production is up 14 percent from last year. The 18-State total for all
forage production is 95.4 million tons, an increase of 7 percent from 2013. Of this, 51.1 million tons were produced from
alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures.
New seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Growers seeded 2.55 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during
2014, up 1 percent from 2013. This represents the third consecutive year of increased seeded area. 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 5.21 billion pounds, up 3 percent from the previous forecast and up 25 percent from
2013. Planted area is estimated at 1.35 million acres while area harvested is estimated at 1.33 million acres. Planted and
harvested acres are both up 27 percent from the previous crop year. Average yield is estimated at 3,932 pounds per acre,
up 72 pounds from the previous forecast but down 69 pounds from 2013.
The increase in planted acreage for 2014 was mainly due to lower corn and soybean prices. In 2013, growers decreased
peanut acres in many States due to larger supplies and strong grain prices. In Georgia, the largest peanut-producing State,
planted acreage was up 40 percent from 2013. Record high yields are estimated for 2014 in Florida, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, Texas, and Virginia.
Canola: Production in 2014 is estimated at a record 2.51 billion pounds, up 14 percent from 2013 but down slightly from

the October forecast. The average yield, at 1,614 pounds per acre, is down 134 pounds from the 2013 average yield and
down 8 pounds from October. Planted area is estimated at 1.71 million acres, 27 percent above the previous year’s
acreage. Harvested area, at 1.56 million acres, is up 23 percent from 2013. For both planted and harvested area, the 2014
level is the second highest on record since records began in 1991.
Production in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is estimated at 2.14 billion pounds, up 29 percent from
2013 and represents the second highest production on record. Planted area in North Dakota is up 30 percent from 2013 as
conditions this past spring were much improved compared with the previous year when wet conditions and cool
temperatures in North Dakota led to planting delays as well as a reduction in planted area.
Sunflower: The 2014 sunflower production totaled 2.21 billion pounds, up 10 percent from 2013 but down 10 percent
from the October forecast. The United States average yield per acre increased 89 pounds from last year to 1,469 pounds.
Planted area, at 1.56 million acres, is 1 percent below last year and represents the second lowest planted area since 1976.
Area harvested increased 3 percent from last year to 1.51 million acres but is the third lowest since 1976.
For the third time since data for both States began to be published in 1977 and the second year in a row, South Dakota
out-produced North Dakota to be the leading sunflower-producing State during 2014. Production in South Dakota is
estimated at 877 million pounds, a decrease of 12 percent from 2013. Meanwhile, production in North Dakota increased
41 percent, mostly due to an increase in planted area of 33 percent compared with last year as the crop bounced back from
cool temperatures and wet conditions last spring that sharply reduced the amount of sunflower that was seeded in 2013.
Compared with last year, eight of the nine major sunflower-producing States showed an increase in yield, with Minnesota
being the only State to show a decline.
United States production of oil-type sunflower varieties, at 1.66 billion pounds, increased 2 percent from 2013. Compared
with last year, harvested acres are down 5 percent and represent the lowest level since 1976. The average yield increased
by 98 pounds, to 1,461 pounds per acre.
Production of non-oil sunflower varieties is estimated at 552 million pounds, an increase of 43 percent from last year and
is the second highest since 2005. Area harvested, at 369,100 acres, is up 40 percent from 2013. The average yield
increased by 37 pounds from last year to 1,495 pounds per acre and is the third highest on record.
Harvest of sunflowers began in early October but lagged well behind normal in all four major producing States. As of
October 19, only 11 percent of the crop was harvested, 1 percentage point behind last year and 19 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. Generally favorable conditions during the latter part of October and early November allowed
harvest progress to reach 70 percent by November 9, twenty-two percentage points ahead of last year and 1 percentage
point ahead of normal. As of November 30, ninety-one percent of the crop was harvested in North Dakota and 95 percent
of the crop was harvested in South Dakota.
Soybeans: Production in 2014 totaled a record 3.97 billion bushels, up slightly from the November forecast and up
18 percent from 2013. The average yield per acre is estimated at a record high 47.8 bushels, 0.3 bushel above the
November forecast and 3.8 bushels above last year’s yield. Planted area for the Nation, at 83.7 million acres, is up
9 percent from the previous year and is the largest on record. Soybean growers harvested a record high 83.1 million acres,
down slightly from the November forecast but up 9 percent from last year.
Compared with last year, yields were up or unchanged across most of the Nation, with only eight States showing a
decline. Increases from last year of more than 8 bushels per acres occurred in Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas. Record
high yields occurred in Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and West Virginia.
The 2014 soybean objective yield survey data indicate that final average pod counts were higher than last year in eight of
the eleven objective yield States. Compared with last year, pod counts were up more than 200 pods per 18 square feet in
Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri as growing conditions were much improved.

Planting conditions this past spring were much better than last year as most areas received ample moisture in April that
gave way to a warmer and drier May that allowed producers to catch up on planting progress. Planting of this year’s
soybean crop was underway in all 18 major States by May 11. As of June 1, 78 percent of the intended soybean crop had
been planted, 23 percentage points ahead of last year’s pace and 8 percentage points ahead of normal. By June 15,
soybean planting had reached 92 percent complete, 9 percentage points ahead of last year’s pace and 2 percentage points
ahead of normal. However, planting progress at that time still lagged behind normal by 5 percentage points or more in
Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
Fifty percent of the soybean crop had emerged by June 1, twenty-one percentage points ahead of the previous year’s pace
and 5 percentage points ahead of normal. Emergence advanced to 83 percent by June 15, with progress equal to or ahead
of the normal pace in 14 of the 18 major States. Progress for blooming and setting pods followed a very similar pattern to
emergence for soybeans, as progress remained several points ahead of the previous year’s pace and slightly ahead of
normal through July. As of August 3, eighty-five percent of the Nation’s crop was blooming, 8 percentage points ahead of
the previous year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Fifty-seven percent of the acreage was setting pods
by August 3, twenty-one percentage points ahead of last year and 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Development of the crop continued to progress slightly ahead of normal throughout the month of August. By August 31,
ninety-five percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the pod-setting stage, 4 percentage points ahead of the previous
year and equal to the 5-year average. At the beginning of September, development of the crop slid behind normal and
remained slightly behind the 5-year average throughout the month. As of September 28, sixty-nine percent of the soybean
crop was dropping leaves or beyond, 5 percentage points ahead of the previous year but 2 percentage points behind the
5-year average. At that time, progress was behind normal in 12 of the 18 major States, with Kentucky and Minnesota
more than 10 percentage points behind normal. Ninety-five percent of the crop was dropping leaves or beyond by
October 19, two percentage points ahead of the previous year but 2 percentage points behind normal.
Condition of the soybean crop was rated above the previous year’s crop throughout most of the growing season as
conditions were generally much improved from the previous year. As of September 28, seventy-two percent of the United
States soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 19 percentage points better than the same week in 2013.
Soybean harvest in the 18 major States was 10 percent complete at the end of September, equal to the previous year’s
pace but 7 percentage points behind normal. Rain across much of the central Corn Belt slowed harvest during the early
part of October. As of October 19, harvest was 53 percent complete, 8 percentage points behind the previous year and
13 percentage points behind normal. At that time, harvest progress in Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio,
and Wisconsin had fallen behind normal by 20 percentage points or more. Drier weather during the latter part of October
allowed harvest progress to catch up to or surpass the normal pace in most States by the end of the month. Harvest
progress reached 94 percent on November 16, equal to the previous year’s pace but 2 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Progress was only behind normal by more than 10 percentage points in Kentucky at that time.
Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2014 totaled 6.37 million bushels, up 90 percent from last year and 10 percent higher
than the amount produced in 2012. Harvested area totaled 302,000 acres in 2014, up 76 percent from the previous year.
Harvested acreage in North Dakota, the largest flaxseed-producing State, is estimated at 270,000 acres, up 85 percent
from 2013 but down 43,000 acres from 2012. Growers in that State were unable to plant all of their intended acreage in
2013 due to unfavorable spring planting conditions. The average United States yield for 2014, at 21.1 bushels per acre, is
up 1.6 bushels from 2013.
Safflower: Production of safflower in 2014, at 209 million pounds, is down less than 1 percent from 2013 and represents
the fifth lowest production since records began in 1991. Growers planted 181,500 acres in 2014, an increase of 3 percent
from 2013. Harvested area, at 170,200 acres, is down 500 acres from the previous year. Average yield, at 1,226 pounds
per acre, decreased 6 pounds from 2013. The yield in Utah, at 990 pounds per acre, is up 420 pounds from last year and
represents the highest on record since published estimates began in 2010.
Other Oilseeds: Mustard seed production for 2014 decreased 21 percent from the previous year to 29.0 million pounds.
This represents the third lowest production since 1996. Planted area, at 33,600 acres, is down 25 percent from 2013 and is
the second lowest acreage since 1996. Harvested area, at 31,200 acres, is down 28 percent from last year. The average

Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2014 totaled 71.0 million pounds, up 3 percent from the
2013 crop of 69.2 million pounds. Production increased 18 percent in Idaho, decreased 4 percent in Oregon, and increased
2 percent in Washington. Acreage increased in all three States with a 12 percent gain in Oregon and Idaho, and a 6 percent
increase in Washington. Yield decreased in Oregon and Washington, but increased in Idaho. The United States yield, at
1,868 pounds per acre, decreased 94 pounds from a year ago.
Washington growers produced 79 percent of the United States hop crop for 2014. Zeus, Cascade, Summit, and
Columbus/Tomahawk were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 50 percent of the State’s hop crop. In
Oregon, Nugget and Cascade were the major varieties, accounting for 49 percent of the State’s hop production. In Idaho,
Zeus and Cascade were the major varieties, accounting for 48 percent of the State’s hop production.
Maple syrup: The 2014 United States maple syrup production totaled 3.17 million gallons, down 10 percent from the
previous year. The number of taps is estimated at 11.4 million, down slightly from the 2013 total. Yield per tap is
estimated to be 0.279 gallon, down 10 percent from the previous season’s yield. All States with the exception of
Pennsylvania showed a decrease in production from the previous year.
Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.10 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2014-2015 season,
down 4 percent from the previous season’s production. Harvested area is estimated at 7,900 acres down 300 acres from
last year.
Taro: Hawaii taro production for the 2014 crop year is 3.24 million pounds, up 5 percent from the previous year. Area in
crop, at 360 acres, is down 40 acres from 2013. Adequate moisture had a positive effect on overall production.

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 83,000 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 2014 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, 2.7 for Upland cotton and 1.1 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, 5.4 percent for Upland
cotton, and 2.2 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.
