Biotechnology Varieties
The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the June Agricultural Survey in all States each year. Randomly
selected farmers across the United States were asked if they planted corn, soybeans, or Upland cotton seed that, through
biotechnology, is resistant to herbicides, insects, or both. Conventionally bred herbicide resistant varieties are excluded.
Insect resistant varieties include only those containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The Bt varieties include those that
contain more than one gene that can resist different types of insects. Stacked gene varieties include only those containing
biotech traits for both herbicide and insect resistance. The States published individually in the following tables represent
85 percent of all corn planted acres, 88 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 88 percent of all Upland cotton planted
acres.

Spring Weather Summary
Highlights: The continuation of El Niño through the Northern Hemisphere spring contributed to an excessively wet
pattern across much of the United States. Drought coverage dipped to a Drought Monitor-era record low of 2.28 percent
on April 23. Subsequently, drought coverage in the continental United States increased to 5.28 percent by June 4, courtesy
of increasingly dry conditions in parts of the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. By the end of spring, developing drought
also extended south of the Canadian border into parts of Montana and North Dakota.
However, the more significant agricultural and hydrological story during the spring of 2019 was the incessant wetness
across large sections of the mid-South, Midwest, Plains, and West. Flooding began early in the spring, when a mid-March
storm delivered heavy precipitation across the western Corn Belt atop frozen soils and an extensive snow cover. In parts
of the middle Missouri Valley and environs, record-high water levels engulfed communities and agricultural land—and
led to the March 14 destruction of the Spencer Dam along the Niobrara River in northern Nebraska.
Flooding returned to parts of the Plains and Midwest starting in late April, as frequent storms dumped copious rainfall.
Major flooding persisted for 2 months (62 days from March 16 – May 16) along the Mississippi River at Burlington, IA,
breaking the 1993 record of 41 consecutive days. In late May and early June, record flooding affected the Arkansas River
in Oklahoma and Arkansas, while the Mississippi River between Quincy, Illinois, and Chester, Missouri, climbed to its
second-highest level on record, behind 1993.
In addition to the high river levels, which caused extensive closings and delays for barges and other waterway traffic,
extensive wetness resulted in a record-slow planting pace for the Nation’s corn, soybeans, and rice. By June 2, only
67 percent of the intended corn acreage and 39 percent of the soybeans had been planted, compared to the 1995 records of
77 and 40 percent, respectively.
Across the Plains and upper Midwest, cool spring weather (as much as 2 to 4°F below normal) accompanied the relentless
precipitation. In fact, some northern crop production areas experienced frequent snow through the end of April. In
contrast, spring temperatures averaged more than 2°F above normal in the southern Atlantic States.
Historical Perspective: The National Centers for Environmental Information reported that the meteorological spring of
2019 was very wet with variable temperatures. For the Lower 48 States, it was the sixth-wettest spring during the
125-year period of record, behind 1957, 1973, 1983, 1991, and 1995. With an average of 9.85 inches (124 percent of
normal), it was the Nation’s wettest spring since 1995, when 9.92 inches fell. Meanwhile, the Nation’s spring average
temperature of 50.9°F was less than 0.1°F below the 20th century mean. It was the coolest spring since 2013, and the
62nd-coolest spring going back to 1895.
State temperature rankings ranged from the ninth-coolest spring in South Dakota to the seventh-warmest spring in
Delaware and South Carolina. Top-ten rankings for spring warmth were also observed in Florida, Georgia, Maryland,
South Carolina, and Virginia. Meanwhile, state precipitation rankings ranged from the 13th-driest spring in Washington to
the wettest spring on record in Kansas. In addition to Kansas, top-ten rankings for spring wetness were noted in two
Western States (Nevada and Utah); three Plains States (Nebraska, Oklahoma, and South Dakota); and five Midwestern
States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin).
March: Historic flooding engulfed parts of the middle Missouri Valley, following a mid-March storm that maximized
runoff due to rapidly melting snow and heavy rain falling on still-frozen soils. The storm also blasted areas from eastern
Colorado into parts of the Dakotas with blizzard conditions, greatly stressing livestock. Mostly tranquil weather trailed the
powerhouse storm, allowing recovery efforts to begin.
Prior to the storm’s arrival, winter-like cold gripped most of the country. In fact, record-setting low temperatures
blanketed the northern Plains and upper Midwest, while frigid conditions also persisted in the Northwest. Periods of
warmth developed in most areas as the month progressed, but March temperatures averaged at least 10°F below normal
across portions of the northern Plains. Above-normal monthly temperatures were mostly limited to the lower Southeast
and parts of the Southwest. However, the Southeast also experienced a sharp cold spell in early March, following a warm
February.

Much of the Deep South noted drier-than-normal weather, favoring spring planting efforts. March precipitation was also
lacking from the Pacific Northwest to the northernmost Rockies, leading to water-supply concerns in the northern
Cascades and neighboring areas. However, large sections of the West—especially from the Sierra Nevada to the central
Rockies—continued to benefit from widespread precipitation and favorable runoff prospects. By late March, the
California Department of Water Resources reported that the average water equivalency of the Sierra Nevada snowpack
stood at 45 inches, approximately 160 percent of the normal peak value.
Farther east, drier-than-normal March weather covered large sections of the eastern United States, allowing previously
wet fields to begin drying out in preparation for spring planting. Elsewhere, many rivers across the northern Plains and
upper Midwest experienced significant rises in late March, as an extensive snow cover began to melt. However, mostly
dry weather prevailed across the northern United States late in the month, leading to an orderly start to the melt season.
April: Most of the country remained wet in April, with drought coverage across the Lower 48 States reaching a
modern-era record low of 2.28 percent late in the month, according to the Drought Monitor. As a result, soggy soils
disrupted planting activities in a multitude of regions, including the northern and southern Plains, the Mississippi Delta,
and much of the Midwest and Northwest. In addition, runoff from rain and melting snow led to widespread lowland
flooding, especially in the eastern Dakotas and the Mississippi Valley.
By April 28, only 15 percent of the intended corn acreage had been planted—the slowest early-season planting pace since
2013, when 5 percent had been sown on that date. Meanwhile, spring wheat planting progress was extremely slow for the
second year in a row, with just 13 percent of the crop planted by April 28. Other recent years with sluggish April spring
wheat planting progress included 2011 (8 percent planted by the 28th), 2018 (9 percent), and 2013 (12 percent).
Only a few regions, such as the central Plains and the lower Southeast, received near- or below-normal April precipitation.
In those areas, planting progressed at a slightly faster pace. In California and the Desert Southwest, seasonably dry
weather favored an acceleration of fieldwork, following some early-season planting delays.
One of the month’s most impressive storms struck the upper Midwest from April 10-12, resulting in blizzard conditions
due to wind-driven snow that locally accumulated to a depth of 1 to 2 feet or more. Additional Midwestern snow fell as
late as April 27, helping to lower soil temperatures and further delay the onset of widespread spring fieldwork.
Cooler-than-normal conditions lingered for much of the month across the Nation’s northern tier, while above-normal
April temperatures dominated California, the Great Basin, the Four Corners States, and much of the eastern United States.
May: Merciless rains pounded the Plains and Midwest, triggering new rounds of flooding and leading to a record-slow
planting pace for the Nation’s corn and soybeans. By June 2, only 67 percent of the Nation’s corn and 39 percent of the
soybeans had been planted, breaking 1995 records of 77 and 40 percent, respectively. Late in the month, record flooding
developed in the Arkansas River Basin, while rivers in parts of the mid-Mississippi Valley surged to their second-highest
levels on record, behind 1993.
The incessantly wet conditions were accompanied by significantly below-normal temperatures, resulting in developmental
delays and quality concerns with respect to winter wheat. Furthermore, late-planted summer crops were slow to emerge
and become established amid the cool, rainy conditions.
Unseasonably wet weather extended into parts of the West. From California into the Four Corners States,
cooler-than-normal conditions accompanied the frequent showers, slowing fieldwork and crop development. In contrast,
warmer- and drier-than-normal weather stretched from the Pacific Northwest to the northernmost Rockies, fostering some
drought expansion.
Meanwhile, hot, dry weather developed in the Southeast, particularly in the southern Atlantic States, substantially
reducing soil moisture and increasing stress on summer crops, such as corn. A late-month Southeastern hot spell boosted
temperatures to 100°F or higher in many locations, contributing to further drought intensification.

Elsewhere, showers that fell in the Nation’s mid-section often swept into the Northeast, maintaining soggy conditions in
the latter region. However, precipitation mostly bypassed some locations along the Canadian border, stretching as far east
as northern Minnesota, leaving a sharp gradient between that area and saturated sections of the Plains and Midwest just to
the south.

rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 65 percent rated in these two categories at the same time last year.
Sunflower: Area planted to sunflower in 2019 totals 1.38 million acres, up 6 percent from 2018. Despite the increase
from last year, this is the second lowest planted area for the Nation since 1976. Compared with last year, growers in four
of the eight major sunflower-producing States increased sunflower acreage this year. The State with the largest increase
from last year is North Dakota, where planted area increased 64,000 acres compared with last year. Planted area is the
lowest on record in Nebraska. Harvested area for sunflower is forecast at 1.32 million acres, an increase of 8 percent from
last year.
Planted area of oil type varieties, at 1.23 million acres, is up 5 percent from 2018, but is the fourth lowest on record since
1976. In Nebraska, planted area of oil type varieties is the second lowest on record.
Area planted to non-oil varieties, estimated at 155,000 acres, is up 13 percent from last year but is the second lowest on
record. Planted area for non-oil varieties in Texas will be the lowest since 1987. Planted area for non-oil varieties in
Minnesota is the second lowest on record.
Planting began in early to mid-May and progressed behind both last year’s pace and the 5-year average in all four States
throughout the month of May. As of June 2, nineteen percent of the acreage had been planted, 27 percentage points behind
last year’s pace and 25 percentage points behind the 5-year average. At that time, planting progress was behind normal in
the four major sunflower-producing States of Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota. As of June 2, planting
in South Dakota had not started due to excessive moisture and flooding this spring, compared with the 5-year average of
33 percent complete by that date. All four States made good progress in June, with planting progress reaching 85 percent
complete by June 23, five percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As of
June 23, seventy-eight percent of the acreage in North Dakota was rated in good to excellent condition.
Canola: Planted area of canola is estimated at 2.02 million acres in 2019, up 1 percent from last year’s planted area and
represents the second highest planted area on record for the Nation. Compared with last year, planted area increased or
remained unchanged in four of the six major canola-producing States, with acreage declines only estimated in Kansas and
Oklahoma. Acreage in Oklahoma, at 35,000 acres, is the lowest since 2009, the first year estimates were published for the
State. Planted area in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is up 7 percent from last year. Planted area in
North Dakota and Washington are record highs and the area forecast for harvest in both States will be record highs, if
realized.
Beginning in 2019, canola estimates were discontinued in Idaho and Oregon.
Flaxseed: Area planted to flaxseed in 2019 is estimated at 355,000 acres, up 147,000 acres, or 71 percent from 2018. The
harvested area is forecast at 340,000 acres, up 142,000 acres, or 72 percent from last year. Planted acreage in
North Dakota, the largest flaxseed-producing State, is up 76 percent from 2018. Flaxseed planting was slow to begin due
to cold, wet soil conditions in May. Conditions improved during June, allowing planting progress to advance to 95 percent
complete by June 9.

Beginning in 2019, flaxseed estimates were discontinued in South Dakota.
Safflower: Area planted to safflower is estimated at 153,000 acres in 2019, down 3 percent for comparable States in
2018. This is the second lowest planted area for the Nation since records began in 1991. Area for harvest is forecast at
145,500 acres, down 1 percent for comparable States from last year. This represents the third lowest harvested area on
record, if realized. Growers in California, the largest State in terms of planted area in 2018, planted the same amount as
last year. Compared with last year, the largest decline in planted area occurred in Montana.
Beginning in 2019, safflower estimates were discontinued in North Dakota.
Other oilseeds: Planted area of mustard seed is estimated at 110,000 acres, up 7 percent from 2018 and represents the
second highest planted area on record for the Nation. Mustard seed area for harvest is forecast at 104,500 acres, up
7 percent from the previous year and represents the third highest on record, if realized.
Beginning in 2019, estimates for mustard seed were discontinued in Oregon and Washington.
Acreage planted to rapeseed is estimated at 14,800 acres, up 9,100 acres from 2018 and represents the second highest area
since records began in 1991. Harvested rapeseed area is forecast at 14,000 acres, and will be the second highest on record,
if realized.
Beginning in 2019, estimates for rapeseed were discontinued in Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, and Washington.
Estimates began for rapeseed in 2019 for Delaware, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Cotton: Growers planted 13.7 million acres in 2019, down 3 percent from last year. Upland area is estimated at
13.4 million acres, down 3 percent from 2018. American Pima area is estimated at 275,000 acres, up 10 percent from
2018.
Compared with last year, 10 States increased planted area, with the largest increase in Arkansas. Upland cotton planted
area in Kansas represents a record high for the State. Compared with the previous year, five States planted fewer Upland
cotton acres in 2019, including California. Upland cotton planted area is a record low in California.
In California, planting started a little behind schedule due to rain and cooler spring temperatures. Weather conditions in
May slowed crop progress and led to concerns of high insect pressure. Some farmers reported switching from Upland to
Pima. In Georgia, rainfall received in early June proved to be beneficial but farmers were hoping for more frequent rains
to hold off worsening drought conditions. In Texas, wet conditions and hail caused concerns in areas of the Northern and
Southern High Plains.
By June 23, ninety-six percent of the Nation’s acreage had been planted, 3 percentage points behind the same time last
year. By June 23, thirty percent of the acreage was squaring, one percentage point behind last year but 2 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average. As of June 23, fifty percent of the acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, compared
with forty-two percent rated in these two categories at the same time last year.
Producers planted 98 percent of their acreage with seed varieties developed using biotechnology, up 4 percentage points
from last year. Varieties containing insect resistance (Bt) were planted on 3 percent of the acreage, the same as last year.
Herbicide resistant varieties were planted on 6 percent of the acreage, down 3 percentage points from 2018. Stacked gene
varieties, those contacting both insect and herbicide resistance, were planted on 89 percent of the acreage, up 7 percentage
points from a year ago.
Hops: Hop acreage strung for harvest in 2019 for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is forecast at a record high
57,339 acres, 4 percent more than last year’s previous record of 55,035 acres. Washington, with 41,263 acres for harvest,
accounts for 72 percent of the total United States acreage. Idaho area strung for harvest was 8,570 acres, or 15 percent of
the United States total. Oregon hop growers accounted for the remaining 13 percent, or 7,506 acres. Acreage increased
from last year in Idaho and Washington.

The top five hop varieties strung for harvest in the United States this year are CitraR, Cascade, SimcoeR, MosaicR and
Zeus.
Sugarbeets: Area planted to sugarbeets for the 2019 crop year is estimated at 1.13 million acres, up 1 percent from 2018.
Harvested area is forecast at 1.11 million acres, up 1 percent from last year.
The crop was well established with no major problems in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Minnesota growers
experienced a difficult spring with drowned out areas that likely will not get planted.
Sugarcane: Harvested area of sugarcane for sugar and seed in the United States is forecast at 916,400 acres for the
2019 crop year, up 2 percent from last year.
Early fieldwork in Louisiana was delayed by a wet spring, but recent dry weather allowed growers to catch up. Texas
acreage decreased from the previous year due to plow outs exceeding plantings last fall.
Tobacco: United States all tobacco area for harvest in 2019 is expected to total 235,820 acres, down 19 percent from
2018. If realized, this will be the lowest tobacco acres harvested on record. Flue-cured tobacco, at 159,000 acres, is
20 percent below 2018 and accounts for 67 percent of this year’s total expected tobacco acreage. Total light air-cured
tobacco type area, at 53,100 acres, is down 15 percent from 2018. The burley portion of light-air cured tobacco, at
52,100 acres, is down 15 percent from last year.
Fire-cured tobacco, at 14,620 acres, is down 23 percent from 2018. Dark air-cured tobacco, at 6,900 acres, is
down 30 percent from last year. Cigar filler tobacco, at 2,200 acres, is down 8 percent from the previous year.
Dry beans: Area planted for dry beans in 2019 is estimated at 1.31 million acres, up 9 percent from 2018 for comparable
States. Area harvested is forecast to total 1.26 million acres, also up 9 percent from 2018 for comparable States. Four of
the nine estimating States show an increase in total dry bean planted acres from last year.
Beginning in 2019, dry bean estimates were discontinued in Montana and Texas. Also beginning in 2019, estimates no
longer include chickpeas.
Chickpeas: Area planted for all chickpeas for the 2019 crop year is estimated at 559,500 acres, down 35 percent from the
previous year. Area harvested is forecast at 547,700 acres, 35 percent below 2018 and, if realized, the lowest total since
2016. Small chickpea area planted is estimated at 125,000 acres, down 44 percent from 2018. Area harvested for small
chickpeas is forecast at 122,400 acres, a 44 percent decline from 2018. Area planted for large chickpeas in 2019 is
estimated at 434,500 acres, a 32 percent decline from the previous year. Large chickpea area harvested is forecast at
425,300 acres, a 32 percent decline from 2018.
Montana experienced relatively cool and wet weather during April with mixed, but drier, conditions during May. Early
spring planting and crop emergence were delayed in areas due to wet soil and cool temperatures. By the end of May,
several northern county reporters noted hot temperatures and high winds quickly dried soil out and rain was needed. In
California, planting for chickpeas was completed in June.
Beginning in 2019, chickpea estimates were discontinued in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, and
Wyoming.
Lentils: Area planted for the 2019 crop year is estimated at 535,000 acres, down 31 percent from 2018. Area forecasted to
be harvested, at 508,000 acres, is down 29 percent from the 2018 season.
Idaho’s planted acres are the highest since 2010. As of the week ending June 23, ninety-three percent of the lentils in
Montana had emerged, behind the five-year average of 97 percent.

Dry edible peas: Area planted for the 2019 crop year is expected to total 1.03 million acres, up 20 percent from the
previous season. Area harvested is forecast to total 972,000 acres, also up 20 percent from 2018. Planted area in all States
is up, except for Nebraska and South Dakota. In Montana, as of June 23, blooming reached 24 percent, ahead of last
year’s 21 percent but well behind the 5-year average of 53 percent. As of June 23, blooming reached 15 percent in North
Dakota, well behind both last year and the 5-year average.
Beginning in 2019, dry edible pea estimates were discontinued in Oregon. Also beginning in 2019, Austrian winter peas
and wrinkled seed peas are included in the dry edible pea estimates.
Potatoes: Area planted to potatoes in 2019 is estimated at 967,500 acres of potatoes, up slightly from 2018 for
comparable States. Harvested area is forecast at 959,600 acres, slightly above comparable States from the previous year.
Idaho’s winter lasted longer than the previous year and slowed the development of potatoes in areas of the State. As of
June 16, seventy-five percent of the potato crop had emerged, behind the 5-year average of 92 percent. Winter and spring
precipitation in Washington was good. North Dakota’s planting began in late April, ahead of the 2018 pace but behind the
5-year average. It advanced ahead of the 5-year average half-way through the planting season.
Beginning in 2019, potato estimates were discontinued in Alaska, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: The estimates of planted and harvested acreages in this report are based primarily on surveys
conducted during the first 2 weeks of June. These surveys are based on a probability area frame survey with a sample of
approximately 9,000 segments or parcels of land (average approximately 1 square mile) and a probability list frame
survey with a sample of approximately 68,100 farm operators. Enumerators conducting the probability area frame survey
contact all farmers having operations within the sampled segments of land and account for their operations. From these
data, estimates can be calculated. For the probability list frame survey, data from operators was collected by mail, internet,
telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on these operations. Responses from the probability list frame
survey sample plus data from the probability area frame survey sample of operations that were not on the list to be
sampled are combined to provide another estimate of planted and harvested acreages.
Estimating procedures: National, Regional, State, and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and
consistency with historical estimates. Each Regional Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the
Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). Survey data are compiled to the National level and are reviewed at this level
independently of each State’s review. Acreage estimates were based on survey data and the historical relationship of
official estimates to survey data.
Revision policy: Estimates of planted acres for spring planted crops are subject to revision in the August Crop Production
report if conditions altered the planting intentions since the mid-year survey. Planted acres may also be revised for cotton,
peanuts, and rice in the September Crop Production report each year; spring wheat, Durum wheat, barley, and oats only in
the Small Grains Annual report at the end of September; and all other spring planted crops in the October
Crop Production report. Revisions to planted acres will only be made when either special survey data, administrative data,
such as Farm Service Agency program “sign up” data, or remote sensing data are available. Harvested acres may be
revised any time a production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended harvested area has changed
since the last forecast.
Reliability: The survey used to make acreage estimates is subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are
common to all surveys. Both types of errors for major crops generally are between 1.0 and 6.0 percent. Sampling errors
represent the variability between estimates that would result if many different samples were surveyed at the same time.
Sampling errors cannot be applied directly to the acreage published in this report to determine confidence intervals since
the official estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source. The relative standard errors
from the 2019 area frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 9.8 percent, corn 1.2 percent, Upland cotton
3.0 percent, sorghum 8.6 percent, soybeans 1.3 percent, other spring wheat 4.1 percent, and winter wheat 2.2 percent.
The biotechnology estimates are also subject to sampling variability because all operations planting biotech varieties are
not included in the sample. The variability for the 48 corn States, as measured by the relative standard error at the United
States level, is approximately 0.3 percent for all biotech varieties, 6.9 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties,
3.2 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 0.5 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are
approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 0.6 percent for all biotech varieties,
13.8 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 6.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.0 percent for stacked gene
varieties. Variability for the 29 soybean States is approximately 0.3 percent for herbicide resistant varieties. Variability for
the 17 Upland cotton States is approximately 0.2 percent for all biotech varieties, 12.6 percent for insect resistant (Bt)
varieties, 8.2 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 0.6 percent for stacked gene varieties.
Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly. They may occur due to incorrect reporting and/or recording, data
omissions or duplications, and errors in processing. To minimize non-sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are used
in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness.
A method of evaluating the reliability of acreage estimates in this report is the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical
measure based on past performances shown below for selected crops. This is computed by expressing the deviations
between the planted acreage estimates and the final estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared
percentage deviations for the 1998-2017 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes statistically the
"Root Mean Square Error.” Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current estimates
Acreage (June 2019)

relative to the final estimates assuming that factors affecting this year's estimate are not different from those influencing
the past 20 years.
For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the corn planted estimate is 0.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out
of 3 that the current corn acreage will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 0.9 percent. Chances are
9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 1.5 percent.
Also, shown in the table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the difference between the mid-year planted acres
estimate and the final estimates. Using corn again as an example, changes between the mid-year estimates and the final
estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 572,000 acres, ranging from 1,000 acres to 2.01 million acres. The
mid-year planted acres have been below the final estimate 5 times and above 15 times. This does not imply that the
mid-year planted estimate this year is likely to understate or overstate the final estimate.
