Crop Production 2016 Summary (January 2017)
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: 2014-2016
[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]

Potato Objective Yield Data
The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in seven fall potato-producing States
during 2016. Sample plots were located in potato fields randomly selected using a scientifically designed sampling
procedure. Field workers recorded counts and measurements within the field and then harvested six hills per sample.
Potatoes were sent to laboratories for sizing and grading according to accepted United States fresh grading standards. Data
in these tables are rounded actual field counts from this survey.

Crop Production 2016 Summary (January 2017)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
103
2016 Annual Weather Summary
Highlights: The fairly quick transition from a near-record-strength El Niño to a weak La Niña had few negative effects on
growing-season weather across the Nation’s mid-section, leading to record-high United States yield and production for
both corn and soybeans. The ample summer rain and moderate temperatures that dominated the Midwest extended across
much of the Plains, but unusual heat and dryness brought varying degrees of stress to crops in the eastern United States.
Despite the Atlantic Basin formation of 15 tropical cyclones—and seven hurricanes—the United States mainland escaped
another year without a major (category 3 or higher) hurricane landfall; the last such occurrence was Hurricane Wilma’s
southern Florida strike on October 24, 2005. Still, the eastern United States had to contend with several Atlantic tropical
systems, including Hurricanes Hermine and Matthew. Matthew, formerly a category 4 and 5 hurricane that had caused
great devastation in Haiti, eastern Cuba, and parts of the Bahamas, grazed the southeastern United States in early October
as a rapidly weakening storm. Nevertheless, rain from Matthew triggered record flooding in portions of the eastern
Carolinas. In southern Louisiana, a major August flood event that preceded Matthew by several weeks was triggered by a
slow-moving low-pressure system that was never strong enough to become a tropical storm or acquire a name.
The tropical eastern Pacific Basin was also active (21 named storms), with remnant moisture from numerous tropical
cyclones reaching the southwestern United States or becoming embedded in the monsoon circulation. Other regional
highlights during 2016 included drought-easing storms both early and late in the year across the West, including much of
California; several strong winter storms across the central and eastern United States, including a January blizzard in the
Mid-Atlantic region; highly beneficial spring rainfall across the central and southern Plains that revived drought-stressed
winter wheat; the worst Northeastern drought in more than a decade; and a punishing autumn drought in the Southeast that
culminated in significant crop losses and devastating November wildfires.
Outside of the growing season, general warmth dominated the Nation. In fact, the contiguous United States experienced
its warmest winter (2015-16) and autumn (2016) on record. Amid the warm regime, however, periodic cold snaps caused
some agricultural concerns. Specifically, early-April freezes in the Northeast caused damage to a variety of fruit and
ornamental crops. And, December featured a very sharp, mid-month cold snap that threatened poorly established wheat on
the central Plains, although a coating of snow in advance of the Arctic outbreak provided the crop with beneficial
moisture and insulation. Meanwhile, 2016 ended on a snowy, frigid note across the Nation’s northern tier as far east as the
upper Midwest, with frequent December storms providing moisture and protection for winter grains but increasing
livestock stress.
During 2016, drought coverage in the contiguous United States peaked at 31.5 percent, according to the United States
Drought Monitor, on November 29. Drought coverage had been as low as 12.4 percent on March 15, with much of the
summer and autumn increase occurring in the Northeast and Southeast. A stormy December brought a sharp decrease in
coverage to 22.5 percent by January 3, 2017.
Winter 2015-16: A top-three “warm episode” (El Niño) brought some widely expected winter weather impacts to the
United States, but also provided some surprises. For example, atmospheric warmth in part supplied by the balmy central
and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean contributed to the Nation’s warmest December-February period on record. Similarly,
the contiguous United States experienced its wettest winter since the record-setting El Niño of 1997-98. However,
El Niño’s impacts on the Western winter wet season were somewhat reversed, with wetter conditions in the
Pacific Northwest and drier weather in the Southwest. In addition, uncharacteristically wet conditions affected much of
the Midwest, especially in December. And, the cool conditions that often cover the South during El Niño were present
only periodically, mainly in January and February.
In fact, December seemed like anything but a winter month, ranking first all-time for both United States warmth and
wetness. The wet conditions peaked in late December, culminating in record flooding in parts of the middle
Mississippi Valley. Despite the overall December warmth, a late-month blizzard on the southern High Plains proved
devastating for livestock. Elsewhere, storms during December and January provided Western drought relief. Although
many of January’s storms were focused across the West, several had impacts farther east. For example, a blizzard struck
the Mid-Atlantic States on January 22-23, with significant snow extending as far west as the interior Southeast. Warmth
returned to nearly all of the United States during February, while storminess largely vacated the West. Despite the lack of

late-winter storms in the West, overall United States drought coverage plunged from more than one-third (34.8 percent) of
the Lower 48 States on October 20, 2015, according to the United States Drought Monitor, to approximately one-seventh
(14.3 percent) of the country on March 1, 2016.
Spring: As El Niño began to wane, warm, wet conditions covered much of the country. Not surprisingly, El Niño-driven
warmth was most prominent across the Nation’s northern tier, from the Pacific Northwest to the upper
Great Lakes Region. However, spring warmth was also very persistent across the eastern United States. And, all of the
Lower 48 States reported spring temperatures within the warmest one-quarter of the historical distribution. Still, there
were a few impressive spring cold snaps embedded within the warm regime. In particular, early-April freezes in the
Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic States, following a warm March, led to variable losses for a variety of fruit and ornamental
crops.
Meanwhile, pockets of dryness developed amid the overall wet pattern. Some of the most persistently dry conditions
occurred in the Northeast, where a lack of moisture and the aforementioned April freezes delayed the spring green-up. By
the end of May, pockets of short-term dryness had also developed in several other areas, including the Pacific Northwest
and the interior Southeast. The Midwest was free of drought at the end of May, according to the United States
Drought Monitor, but also saw a late-spring drying trend in many areas. Farther west, northern California received
extremely heavy precipitation during the first half of March, further easing long-term drought. However, southern
California remained mostly dry and limped to the end of a fifth consecutive year (2011-12 to 2015-16) of drought. Parts of
the Southwest also remained entrenched in long-term drought. Contiguous United States drought coverage reached a
5½-year minimum in mid-March, with just under one-eighth (12.4 percent) of the country affected by drought. Coverage
subsequently rose to 17.8 percent on April 12 before spring storms again reduced the drought footprint to about
one-eighth (12.7 percent) of the United States by May 31.
Summer: As El Niño faded to ENSO-neutral conditions, warm, wet conditions persisted across the Nation’s mid-section
through August. However, hot summer weather was often accompanied by drier-than-normal conditions in the eastern and
western United States. In the Midwest, showery weather and the absence of extreme heat fueled record-high United States
corn and soybean yield and production, based on preliminary estimates by USDA. The record-setting agricultural output
occurred in spite of pockets of drought in the western (e.g. South Dakota) and eastern Corn Belt (e.g. Michigan and Ohio).
Generally favorable growing weather extended to the Plains, although a July heat wave struck western Texas and
environs. Meanwhile, the worst drought in more than a decade tightened its grip in parts of the Northeast, which endured a
very hot summer. Drought also affected portions of the interior Southeast, broadly centered on the southern Appalachians.
Farther west, hot, dry weather and underlying drought issues contributed to an active wildfire season in parts of California
and the Northwest. The Southwestern monsoon circulation provided beneficial rainfall at times, mainly across Arizona
and New Mexico.
According to the Drought Monitor, United States drought coverage peaked at 21.79 percent on August 9, up from
12.7 percent at the beginning of summer. Following that peak, widespread rainfall triggered by the interaction between the
Southwestern monsoon circulation, several cold fronts, and an unnamed low-pressure system along the Gulf Coast
reduced drought coverage to 19.42 percent within 2 weeks. However, the wet spell also resulted in excessive rainfall and
catastrophic flooding in parts of southern Louisiana, with crop-quality issues occurring across a broader area of the South
in crops such as rice, sorghum, and soybeans.
Autumn: La Niña returned, albeit weakly, replacing the near-record-strength El Niño that had been in place early in the
year. Still, some of the lingering atmospheric warmth related to El Niño may have contributed to the Nation’s warmest
autumn on record, easily surpassing the record set just last year.
Meanwhile, autumn precipitation was scarce in much of the Southeast, leading to rapid drought expansion and
intensification. Some of the harshest drought conditions existed in a broad area centered on the southern Appalachians,
where the effects longer-term precipitation deficits were exacerbated by a hot, dry autumn. The drought culminated in a
rash of November fires, highlighted by chronically poor air quality and a deadly late-month wildfire in the
Great Smoky Mountains. In stark contrast, Hurricane Matthew and other tropical systems led to heavy precipitation in the

southern Atlantic region. Matthew’s rain in early October triggered record flooding in eastern North Carolina and
environs.
Farther north, mid- to late-autumn precipitation provided varying degrees of relief from the worst Northeastern drought
since 2002. Another area of drought concern was focused across the central High Plains, leading to poor establishment for
a portion of the winter wheat crop. Much more favorable moisture conditions existed from northern California and the
Pacific Northwest to the northern Plains, in part due to record-setting October precipitation. Elsewhere, southern
California was mired in a 5-year drought, despite occasional autumn showers, while harvest activities were completed on
or ahead of schedule in the Midwest, despite a few rain-related delays.
According to the Drought Monitor, United States drought covered nearly one-third (31.5 percent) of the country by the
end of November, up from 18.3 percent in mid-September. Most of the expansion occurred in the Southeast, with smaller
net increases in drought coverage occurring across the Northeast and the central High Plains. In contrast, autumn
precipitation eased or eradicated drought in northern California, the Northwest, and the Intermountain West.
December: Stormy weather dominated the Nation, easing or eradicating drought in the East and West. In particular,
multiple storms in California chiseled away at long-term drought, while soaking rains in the Southeast dented summer and
autumn precipitation deficits. The Northeast also experienced drought relief in the form of rain and snow.
However, pockets of dryness persisted across the central and southern Plains, leading to agricultural impacts such as low
pond levels and poor pasture, rangeland, and winter wheat conditions. A coating of snow preceded a mid-month cold snap
across the central Plains, providing wheat with some beneficial moisture and insulation.
Farther north, cold, stormy weather dominated the northern Plains and the Northwest, leading to travel disruptions and
increased livestock stress. One of the most significant storms struck the Dakotas on Christmas Day, resulting in blizzard
conditions. The same system produced a wintry mix, including rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow, across the upper
Midwest.
Elsewhere, much-above-normal temperatures covered the Deep South, including the Southwest and the Gulf Coast States.
Florida was especially warm, with the peninsula missing out on most of the rain that fell in other parts of the Southeast.
As a result of the warm, dry weather, irrigation demands increased for Florida’s citrus, vegetables, and strawberries.
2016 Annual Crop Summary
April: Temperatures were generally above-normal across most of the Nation during the month of April. The major
exceptions to this trend were recorded in the Great Lakes Region and the Northeast where April average temperatures
were below normal. Drier than normal conditions were reported in the Northwest and the Northeast. Precipitation was
more widespread across the central and southeastern United States, with several locations in the Great Plains and Delta
recording 4 inches or more above normal for the month. By April 10, four percent of the Nation’s corn crop was planted,
3 percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average with planting progress at or behind the 5-year
average in 13 of the18 estimating States. Producers had planted 45 percent of this year’s corn crop by May 1, equal to last
year but 15 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Planting progress was well ahead of historical averages in the
central locations of the major corn producing region but continued to lag behind normal in the western Corn Belt. By
April 3, producers had planted 3 percent of this year’s cotton crop, slightly ahead of last year but 2 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. Nationally, cotton producers had planted 16 percent of the cotton crop by May 1, slightly
ahead of last year but 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
May: Temperatures were above normal along the northern United States, facilitating fieldwork in the Pacific Northwest
and the Upper Midwest. Conversely, below average temperatures were prevalent from the central Rocky Mountains to the
Mid-Atlantic. With the exception of portions of the Southwest, Texas, and most of the Atlantic Coast States, where
rainfall totaled 200 percent or more above average, precipitation was near normal throughout much of the Nation.
Southeast Texas received heavy rainfall later in the month, with some locations recording in excess of 9 inches of
precipitation, causing record flooding. Nationally, heading of this year’s winter wheat crop advanced to 84 percent
complete by May 29, two percentage points ahead of last year and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

pace in the central Great Plains, with planting progress 27 percentage points behind the 5-year average in Kansas and
9 percentage points behind in Nebraska.
June: Drier than normal conditions prevailed across many parts of the Nation during June. Notable exceptions occurred in
portions of the Upper Midwest, Mid-Atlantic States, and Texas. Warmer than normal temperatures blanketed the Nation
during the month of June. NOAA ranked last June as having the warmest average temperature on record for the
contiguous United States. Ninety-six percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was planted by June 19, seven percentage
points ahead of last year and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By month’s end, 22 percent of the soybean
crop was blooming, 5 percentage points ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Ninety-five percent of the cotton crop was planted by June 19, two percentage points ahead of last year but 3 percentage

reported in good to excellent condition on July 3, twenty-two percentage points better than at the same time last year.
July: A band stretching from the northern Great Plains down through the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys had some
areas recording over 200 percent of normal precipitation for the month of July. Most areas from the Southwest to the
Atlantic Coast recorded above-average temperatures for the month, including New Mexico and Texas, where some areas
recorded temperatures more than 6°F above normal. Slightly below-average temperatures across the Northwest slowed
down row crop development that had been significantly ahead of historical levels at the start of the July. Major sorghum
heading progress was limited to Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas at the beginning of July. Nationally, 26 percent of this
year’s crop was at or beyond the coloring stage by July 31, slightly behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the
5-year average. By July 10, heading of the Nation’s oat crop advanced to 96 percent complete, slightly ahead of last year
and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Oat headed progress was at least 90 percent complete in all
estimating States by July 10. Ninety-five percent of the barley crop was at or beyond the heading stage by July 17,
four percentage points behind last year but 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 17, ninety-six percent

the same time last year. By July 31, ninety-one percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the silking stage, 4 percentage
points ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. In all 18 estimating States, the percentage of
the crop in the silking stage was at or ahead of the 5-year average at the end of July.
August: Nearly all areas east of the Great Plains recorded above-average temperatures for the month of August.
Conversely, below-average temperatures were recorded in the Rocky Mountains and High Plains. During August, most
areas of the Nation had precipitation totals near normal levels with exceptions in the Mississippi Valley and Texas. A
mid-month low-pressure system in the Delta produced over 20 inches of rain in parts of southern Louisiana causing major
flooding. Producers had harvested 97 percent of the Nation’s winter wheat crop by August 14, two percentage points

wheat harvest was complete or nearing completion in all major estimating States. By August 14, ninety-five percent of the
soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage, 3 percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead
of the 5-year average. Ninety-seven percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was at or beyond the pod setting stage by
September 4, two percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. Pod setting was at least 90 percent
complete in all soybean estimating States by September 4. Leaf drop had advanced to 12 percent complete by
September 4, three percentage points behind last year but equal to the 5-year average. Ninety-five percent of the Nation’s
oat crop was harvested by August 28, slightly ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
September: Unseasonably warm conditions blanketed the Nation’s eastern two-thirds during September. At the
beginning of September, Tropical Storm Hermine brought heavy rain and winds to the southern Atlantic Coast States.
Later in the month, rain pummeled the upper Mississippi Valley causing flooding over already saturated ground in parts of
Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. However, a lack of precipitation in the West, southern Appalachian Mountains, and
Northeast led to worsening drought conditions in the Southwest, New England, and northern Georgia. The corn harvest
began in most southern Corn Belt locations by the first full week of the month with 5 percent of the Nation’s corn
harvested by September 11, slightly ahead of last year but 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationwide,
producers had harvested 24 percent of the corn crop by October 2, equal to last year but 3 percentage points behind the
5-year average. Generally dry conditions across the western Corn Belt facilitated good harvest progress during the final
week of the month, including an advance of 19 percentage points in Illinois. Barley producers had harvested 95 percent of
this year’s crop by September 11, three percentage points behind last year but 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year
average. Ninety-eight percent of the spring wheat crop was harvested by September 18, slightly behind last year’s pace
but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By October 2, rice producers had harvested 82 percent of this year’s
crop, 7 percentage points ahead of last year and 13 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Producers completed
double-digit advances in rice harvest progress in California, Mississippi, and Missouri during the final week of the month.
Only 5 estimating States reported the planting of winter wheat during the first week of September. By October 2,
producers had sown 43 percent of the Nation’s 2017 winter wheat crop, slightly behind last year and 2 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. Nationally, 26 percent of the soybean crop was harvested by October 2, ten percentage points
behind last year and slightly behind the 5-year average. Dry conditions west of the Mississippi River allowed for the
soybean harvest to advance 16 percentage points Nationwide during the final week of the month, including an increase of
34 percentage points in North Dakota and 28 percentage points in South Dakota.
October: During the month of October, warm temperatures facilitated the harvest of row crops across the Nation,
including most of the Mississippi River Basin which recorded monthly average temperatures more than 4°F above normal.
Large portions of both coastal regions experienced higher than normal precipitation, including the southern Atlantic States
and the Pacific Northwest. Monthly rainfall totals exceeded 10 inches in areas of North Carolina, South Carolina, northern
California, Oregon, and Washington. In early October, heavy rains from Hurricane Matthew impacted crop conditions
from Florida up to Virginia. Producers had seeded 86 percent of the 2017 winter wheat crop by October 30, slightly
behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Thirteen of the 18 estimating States were behind the
5-year average winter wheat planting pace by the end of October. Overall, 57 percent of the winter wheat crop was
reported in good to excellent condition on October 30, nine percentage points above the same time last year. Nationally,
three-quarters of this year’s corn crop was harvested by October 30, seven percentage points behind last year but equal to
the 5-year average. Overall, 74 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition on October 16,
six percentage points above the same time last year. By October 30, eighty-seven percent of the soybean crop was
harvested, 4 percentage points behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 74 percent of
the soybean crop was reported in good to excellent condition on October 16, ten percentage points better than at the same
time last year. By October 30, forty-six percent of the cotton crop was harvested, 2 percentage points behind both last year
and the 5-year average. Overall, 49 percent of the cotton crop was rated in good to excellent condition on October 30,
two percentage points better than at the same time last year. In North Carolina, cotton condition dropped by 18 percentage
points in the good to excellent categories during the month due to wet conditions from Hurricane Matthew.
Ninety-seven percent of the Nation’s rice crop was harvested by October 23, equal to last year but 5 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average.
November: Above normal temperatures blanketed virtually all of the United States during the month of November. Most
notably, average temperatures rose to more than 9 degrees above normal across most of the northern High Plains and into

the upper Mississippi Valley. Most of the Nation was within 3 inches of normal precipitation for the month.
Ninety-seven percent of the Nation’s 2017 winter wheat crop was sown by November 20, two percentage points ahead of
last year but 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 58 percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in
good to excellent condition on November 27, three percentage points above the same time last year. At the end of month,
States in the Northwest and Great Lakes Region generally had better condition ratings than southern States. With
significantly warmer-than-normal conditions in the Midwest during November, the Nation’s corn harvest progressed
slightly ahead of the 5-year average pace. Ninety-seven percent of the Nation’s corn crop was harvested by November 20,
equal to last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By November 13, producers had harvested 97 percent of this

ahead of the 5-year average.
Crop Comments
Corn: Corn for grain production in the United States is estimated at 15.1 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the
November forecast but up 11 percent from the 2015 estimate. The average yield in the United States is estimated at a
record 174.6 bushels per acre. This is down 0.7 bushel from the November forecast but 6.2 bushels above the 2015
average yield of 168.4 bushels per acre.
Estimated yields in 2016 are up from the previous year across most of the Corn Belt. Record yields are estimated in
Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington, and Wisconsin.
Corn planted area, at 94.0 million acres, is up 7 percent from 2015. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 86.7 million
acres, down slightly from the November forecast but up 7 percent from the 2015 estimate.
The 2016 corn objective yield data indicate the third 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 Ohio.
Corn silage production is estimated at 126 million tons for 2016, down 1 percent from 2015. The United States silage
yield is estimated at 20.3 tons per acre, down 0.1 ton from 2015. Area harvested for silage is estimated at 6.19 million
acres, down 1 percent from a year ago.
Excellent spring field conditions throughout the Corn Belt facilitated rapid planting progress, allowing producers to plant
30 percent of the Nation’s corn crop by April 24, fourteen percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year
average pace. By May 15, planting progress was ahead of normal in the central region of the Corn Belt, but the eastern
States lagged behind their respective 5-year averages. Drier conditions returned to the eastern Corn Belt by May 22 and
permitted National planting progress to advance to 86 percent.
Virtually all of the Nation’s corn acreage was planted by June 5. At that time, 75 percent of the corn was reported in good
to excellent condition, slightly higher than at the same time last year. By June 12, corn emergence had advanced to
96 percent complete, slightly ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
By July 10, favorable weather led to an increase in corn condition ratings in most of the eastern Corn Belt States. By
July 17, fifty-six percent of the Nation’s corn crop was at or beyond the silking stage, 9 percentage points ahead of last
year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Above-average temperatures in the northern Corn Belt
advanced silking progress at least 30 percentage points during the week ending July 24 in Minnesota, South Dakota, and

points behind the 5-year average. Eighty-seven percent of this year’s corn was at or beyond the dent stage by
September 11, three percentage points ahead of last year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Favorable
weather conditions promoted double-digit crop maturation in 15 of the 18 corn-estimating States during the week ending
September 11. Fifty-three percent of the Nation’s corn was mature by September 18, five percentage points ahead of both
last year and the 5-year average. Generally warm weather in the Corn Belt accelerated corn maturity, which advanced by
20 percentage points or more during the week ending September 18 in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
South Dakota, and Wisconsin. By September 25, producers had harvested 15 percent of the Nation’s corn, slightly behind
last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As of September 25, harvest progress was behind the 5-year
average pace in 12 of the 18 estimating States.
By October 2, eighty-six percent of the corn was mature, 4 percentage points ahead of last year and 7 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average. Generally dry conditions across the central and western Corn Belt facilitated good harvest
progress during the week ending October 2, including an advance of 19 percentage points in Illinois, and 18 percentage
points in both Kansas and Missouri. Nationwide, corn harvest progress advanced to 35 percent complete, 3 percentage
points behind both last year and the 5-year average. Ninety-seven percent of the corn crop was mature by October 16,
equal to last year but 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By October 16, harvest progress was 12 percentage
points behind normal in Iowa, Minnesota, and North Dakota. Warm weather in the upper Midwest facilitated rapid harvest
progress, including an advance of 24 percentage points during the week ending October 23 in Minnesota and
19 percentage points in Iowa. By October 30, producers had harvested 75 percent of this year’s corn, 7 percentage points
behind last year but equal to the 5-year average.

298,000 acres, down 3 percent from the previous year. Silage yield averaged 14.0 tons per acre, down 0.6 tons per acre
from 2015.
Beginning in 2016, sorghum estimates were discontinued in Arizona. Estimates began in 2016 for North Carolina.
Oats: Production in 2016 is estimated at 64.8 million bushels, down 28 percent from 2015. Yield is estimated at
66.0 bushels per acre, down 4.2 bushels from the previous year. Harvested area, at 981,000 acres, is 23 percent below the
previous year. Record low acres were harvested in Georgia, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, and Wisconsin.
The largest decreases in production from 2015 occurred in the upper Midwest where yields in Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, and Wisconsin were down from record or near record yields of the previous year. Despite dry conditions in
many parts of New York, increased acreage led to a production increase of nearly 1 million bushels in the State. A record

Crop Production 2016 Summary (January 2017)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Nationally, 79 percent of the soybean crop was emerged by June 12, seven percentage points ahead of both last year and
the 5-year average. Iowa soybean emergence was 10 percentage points, or about 10 days, ahead of the 5-year average on
June 12. Soybean planting was virtually complete at 96 percent Nationwide by June 19. Nationally, 95 percent of the
soybean crop was emerged by June 26, seven percentage points ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the
5-year average.
By July 3, twenty-two percent of the soybean crop was blooming, 5 percentage points ahead of last year and 6 percentage
points ahead of the 5-year average. Fifty-nine percent of the Nation’s soybeans were blooming by July 17,
eight percentage points ahead of last year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 24,
thirty-five percent of the Nation’s soybeans were at or beyond the pod-setting stage, 6 percentage points ahead of last year
and 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 31, fifty-four percent of the Nation’s soybeans were setting
pods, 6 percentage points ahead of last year. As of July 31, seventy-two percent of the soybean crop was rated in good to
excellent condition, compared with 63 percent for the same week last year.
By August 7, sixty-nine percent of the Nation’s soybeans were setting pods, 4 percentage points ahead of last year and
8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Eighty-nine percent of the crop was at or beyond the pod-setting stage on
August 21, four percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. As of August 28, seventy-three percent

Austrian winter peas: United States production of Austrian winter peas is estimated at 477,000 cwt, up 83 percent from
last year. Production in Oregon is a record high. Planted area of Austrian winter peas is estimated at 38,000 acres, up
12 percent from a year ago. Area harvested is expected to total 28,000 acres, up 33 percent from 2015. United States
yield, at 1,704 pounds per acre, is up 466 pounds from a year ago. In both Idaho and Oregon, yield is at a record high.
All potatoes: Total 2016 United States potato production is estimated at 441 million cwt, slightly below the 2015 crop.
Harvested area, at 1.01 million acres, is down 4 percent from last year. The average yield, at a record high 437 cwt per
acre, is up 19 cwt from last year.
Spring potatoes: Production for 2016 is estimated at 15.2 million cwt, down 27 percent from the 2015 crop. Harvested
area totaled 48,000 acres, down 34 percent from a year ago. The average yield of 316 cwt per acre is up 30 cwt from
2015.
Beginning in 2016, spring potato estimates were discontinued in Arizona. In addition, North Carolina estimates were
moved to the summer potato program.
Summer potatoes: Production of summer potatoes is estimated at 19.6 million cwt, up 25 percent from 2015. Harvested
area is estimated at 60,700 acres, 29 percent above last year. Average yield is estimated at 323 cwt per acre, down 11 cwt
from 2015.
Beginning in 2016, summer potato estimates were discontinued in Delaware. Estimates began in 2016 for North Carolina.
Fall potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2016 is estimated at 406 million cwt, up slightly from last year. Area
harvested, at 899,000 acres, is down 4 percent from last year. The average yield is estimated at a record high 452 cwt per
acre, up 19 cwt from last year’s yield.
Idaho and Alaska set record high yields. Maine and Montana tied their previous record high yields. Several days of hot
temperatures during the spring promoted crop development in both Idaho and Washington, which resulted in larger yields.
Excessive amounts of rainfall in North Dakota led to a large abandonment of planted acres.
Beginning in 2016, potato estimates were discontinued in Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and
Rhode Island.
Sweet potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2016 is estimated at 31.5 million cwt, up 2 percent from last year.
Growers harvested 163,300 acres, up 7 percent from last year. Yield per acre, at 193 cwt, is down 10 cwt from last year.
Sweet potato acreage continues to grow in North Carolina. In September, Tropical storm Hermine brought heavy rains in
September. In October, precipitation from Hurricane Matthew resulted in flooded fields and delayed harvest. Planting was
delayed in Louisiana and excessive rainfall in August and September caused major flooding across the State.
Beginning in 2016, sweet potato estimates were discontinued in Alabama, New Jersey, and Texas.
Peppermint oil: Production in 2016 is estimated at 5.80 million pounds, down 1 percent from last year. Harvested area is
estimated at 65,300 acres, unchanged from 2015. Average yield is estimated at 89 pounds of oil per acre, down 1 pound
from a year ago.
Spearmint oil: Production is estimated at 3.21 million pounds for 2016, up 9 percent from last year. Harvested area is

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 approximately
82,900 farm operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to be
selected. Data from operators was collected by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on
crop acreage, yield and production for the 2016 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 Regional 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 1.3 for corn, 2.5 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 2.6 percent for corn, 5.0 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.
