Crop Production
2019 Summary
January 2020

ISSN: 1057-7823

Special Note
When producers were surveyed, there was significant unharvested acreage of corn in Michigan, Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin; and soybean acreage not yet harvested in Michigan,
North Dakota, and Wisconsin. The unharvested area and expected production were included in the totals
published in this report.
NASS will re-contact respondents who previously reported acreage not yet harvested in these States in early
spring. If the newly collected data justifies any changes, NASS will update the 2019 corn and soybean
estimates published in this report. Stocks estimates are also subject to review since unharvested production is
included in the estimate of on-farm stocks.
After a thorough review of the balance sheet for the 2018 corn crop, NASS determined that revisions were
necessary for the 2018 corn production and September 1, 2019 stocks estimates. Production was revised down
0.6 percent. Planted area was reduced 0.3 percent and harvested area was reduced 0.6 percent. Acreage and
production revisions by State can be found on pages 10-11 of this report. Stocks revisions can be found in the
Grain Stocks publication.

Corn for grain production in 2019 was estimated at 13.7 billion bushels, down 5 percent from the revised 2018 estimate.
The average yield in the United States was estimated at 168.0 bushels per acre, 8.4 bushels below the 2018 yield of
176.4 bushels per acre. Area harvested for grain was estimated at 81.5 million acres, up less than 1 percent from the
revised 2018 estimate.
Sorghum: Grain production in 2019 was estimated at 341 million bushels, down 6 percent from the 2018 total. Planted
area for 2019 was estimated at a record low 5.27 million acres, down 7 percent from the previous year. Area harvested for
grain, at 4.68 million acres, was down 8 percent from 2018. Grain yield was estimated at 73.0 bushels per acre, up
0.9 bushel from 2018.
Rice: Production in 2019 totaled 185 million cwt, down 17 percent from the 2018 total. Planted area for 2019 was
estimated at 2.54 million acres, down 14 percent from 2018. Area harvested, at 2.47 million acres, was down 15 percent
from the previous crop year. The average yield for all United States rice was estimated at 7,471 pounds per acre,
down 221 pounds from the 2018 average yield of 7,692 pounds per acre.
Soybean production in 2019 totaled 3.56 billion bushels, down 20 percent from 2018. The average yield per acre was
estimated at 47.4 bushels, down 3.2 bushels from 2018. Harvested area was down 14 percent from 2018 to 75.0 million
acres.
All cotton production is estimated at 20.1 million 480-pound bales, up 9 percent from 2018. The United States yield is
estimated at 817 pounds per acre, down 47 pounds from last year. Harvested area, at 11.8 million acres, is up 16 percent
from last year.

This report was approved on January 10, 2020.

Crop Production 2019 Summary (January 2020)
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 17 State Total: 2017-2019
[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]

Crop Production 2019 Summary (January 2020)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

2019 Annual Weather Summary
Highlights: Despite the mid-year demise of El Niño, wet conditions were a hallmark of the 2019 growing season across
large sections of the Plains and Midwest. Midwestern wetness, which intensified in March and persisted through spring
and into summer, caused significant planting delays and subsequently slowed the development of crops such as corn and
soybeans. Planting and developmental delays extended to other crops, including sugarbeets, sunflowers, and spring wheat.
The 2019 growing season across the Plains and Midwest ended with widespread freezes by mid-October, when some corn
and soybeans were not yet fully mature. In fact, 4 percent of the Nation’s corn had not dented by October 13, with statelevel numbers on that date as high as 16 percent in Wisconsin and 13 percent in Michigan. Nationally, 73 percent of the
corn was fully mature by October 13, while 85 percent of the soybeans were dropping leaves. Less than one-half of the
corn was mature on that date in North Dakota (42 percent), Michigan (44 percent), and Wisconsin (49 percent). As
autumn progressed, Midwestern harvest activities were delayed by muddy or snow-covered fields, as well as the need for
some grains and oilseeds to shed excess moisture before being stored or processed.
Fieldwork delays were not nearly as pronounced across the South, where harvest activities for crops such as cotton,
peanuts, rice, and soybeans proceeded at a pace that was mostly at or ahead of schedule. Autumn heat and dryness in the
Southeast stressed pastures but contributed to the rapid pace of crop maturation and harvesting, despite some earlier
planting delays. Farther west, autumn drought development across portions of the central and southern High Plains
adversely affected some rangeland, pastures, and winter wheat. Stress on winter wheat was aggravated by several sharp
autumn cold outbreaks.
Meanwhile, the western United States experienced an interesting year of weather, which included abundant precipitation
during the winter of 2018-19; a sub-par summer monsoon season; and a delayed onset of widespread precipitation in
autumn 2019. The wet winter of 2018-19 brought a significant decrease in Western drought coverage, which—according
to the United States Drought Monitor—fell from 53 to 4 percent between early January and late April. Subsequently,
Western drought coverage increased to nearly 25 percent by November 19 before dropping again.
Unlike 2018, when Hurricanes Florence and Michael caused great destruction, most of the country escaped the year with
minimal tropical impacts. Official landfalls in the United States occurred with Hurricanes Barry and Dorian, as well as
Tropical Storms Imelda and Nestor. Barry, a minimal (Category 1) hurricane upon arrival in Louisiana on July 13, quickly
weakened after moving inland and produced only local downpours. After grazing the southern Atlantic Coast with heavy
rain and high winds, Dorian crossed Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, on September 6 as a Category 1 hurricane. Later in
the month, Imelda sparked torrential rain in southeastern Texas after moving ashore on September 17 near Freeport.
Finally, Tropical Storms Nestor and Olga formed during October in the Gulf of Mexico. Only Nestor, which crossed
Florida’s panhandle on October 19, officially made landfall. Nevertheless, Nestor and Olga—along with non-tropical
disturbances—delivered much-needed moisture, greatly reducing the coverage and intensity of Southeastern drought.
During 2019, the Nation’s drought coverage ranged from 21.90 percent at the beginning of the year to a Drought Monitorera record low of 2.28 percent on April 23. During the first half of autumn, a sharp but short-lived Southeastern drought
contributed to a secondary spike in coverage, which peaked at 21.19 percent on October 15. During the autumn peak,
drought also covered the Four Corners region, portions of the south-central United States, and the lower Ohio Valley.
Western wildfires were much less active in 2019 compared to the previous year. Nationally, wildfires charred about 4.6
million acres of vegetation, versus nearly 8.8 million acres in 2018 and the 10-year average of just under 7.0 million acres.
Alaska, which experienced a very active wildfire season, accounted for nearly 55 percent of the annual national total, with
2.5 million acres burned in 2019. Nevertheless, several autumn wildfires caused significant damage while the West
awaited cold-season precipitation to begin. Notably, a rash of late-October wildfires in California included the 78,000acre Kincade Fire in Sonoma County; that blaze, propelled by high winds and abetted by low humidity levels and
seasonally cured vegetation, destroyed 374 structures.
Winter 2018-19: Amid a developing El Niño, the Nation experienced its wettest winter during the 124-year period of
record, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information. While the stormy regime extended into nearly
every corner of the country, wetness was most acute in the central and eastern United States. For much of the winter,

heavy precipitation was distributed well enough, spatially and temporally, to prevent major flooding. During February,
however, severe flash flooding affected parts of California, while significant river flooding developed across portions of
the mid-South and lower Midwest.
Near- or above-normal winter temperatures belied the fact that a severe cold outbreak engulfed the northern Plains and
Midwest, starting in late January. The cold weather, accompanied by frequently heavy snow, persisted through the
remainder of winter, helping to set the stage for major, mid- to late-March flooding in the western Corn Belt. The snowy,
cold weather stretched into the Northwest, especially during the first half of February, leading to an increase in livestock
stress and mortality.
For the West as a whole, it was the second time in 3 years that widespread winter precipitation resulted in significant
reductions in drought coverage. Across the eleven Western States, drought coverage according to the United States
Drought Monitor decreased from 55 to 25 percent between mid-December and early March. National drought coverage
fell from 23 to 12 percent during the same period, and there was no drought at winter’s end east of the Mississippi River.
Spring: 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, IL, and Chester, MO, climbed to its secondhighest 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.
Summer: Despite an absence of extreme heat, agricultural issues developed in parts of the Corn Belt due to soil
compaction, shallow-rooted crops, and a mid- to late-summer drying trend. Late-planted, late-developing crops
experienced the greatest impacts, with 22 to 27 percent of the corn rated in very poor to poor condition by September 1 in
Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio. Similarly, more than one-fifth of the soybeans in Indiana and Ohio were rated
very poor to poor on that date.
Following a brief hot spell in July, the Midwest experienced a protracted period with near- or below-normal temperatures,
maintaining a slow corn and soybean development pace. However, those delays were mostly specific to the Corn Belt, as
well as the northern Plains, where spring wheat and other small grains matured behind schedule due to a slow spring
planting pace. As a result, some the northern Plains’ small grains were still in the field and vulnerable to reductions in
quality when torrential rain arrived in early September.

Crop Production 2019 Summary (January 2020)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Farther south, a dreadful monsoon season resulted in a record-dry summer in Arizona and unfavorable dryness in other
parts of the Southwest. The Southwestern heat and dryness led to stress on rangeland and pastures. However, much of the
West escaped significant summer wildfire activity, in part due to the bountifully wet winter of 2018-19. By September 10,
wildfires had burned 4.25 million acres of vegetation, well below the 10-year average of 5.92 million acres. More than
60 percent of the total, or 2.59 million acres, occurred in Alaska, which experienced an active wildfire season.
The mainland of the United States experienced only one named tropical system during the summer: Hurricane Barry. A
minimal hurricane, Barry crossed the Louisiana coast on July 13 and subsequently produced pockets of heavy rain and
flash flooding in the lower Mississippi Valley and neighboring areas. In late August, Dorian became a hurricane while
traversing the United States Virgin Islands. Dorian, which utterly devastated the northwestern Bahamas as a Category 5
storm on September 1-2, later grazed the southern Atlantic coast of the United States, making landfall on Cape Hatteras,
NC, as a Category 1 hurricane on September 6.
During much of the summer of 2019, drought coverage in the contiguous United States ranged from 3 to 5 percent.
During August, however, drought development across the southern Plains and Southwest resulted in an increase in
coverage to 10 percent by September 3. In addition, pockets of drought in the central and eastern Corn Belt aggravated the
effects of late planting and soil compaction on corn and soybeans. In mid- to late August, extreme drought (D3) returned
to the continental United States for the first time since March 2019. However, D3 was confined to 3 percent of Texas and
2 percent of Oklahoma.
Autumn: The Nation’s slowest corn harvest since 2009 was one of many agricultural weather highlights in an active
autumn. Plains and Midwestern harvest disruptions, which extended to other crops such as soybeans, sugarbeets,
sunflowers, and spring wheat, were not only due to adverse autumn weather, but also because of crop developmental
delays mostly related to late planting. In addition, the growing season ended amid a mid-October cold snap across much
of the Midwest, leaving some grains and oilseeds with unusually high moisture content and not yet ready to harvest. By
October 13, only 73 percent of the Nation’s corn was fully mature, while 85 percent of the soybeans were dropping
leaves.
Farther south, record-setting heat gripped the Southeast in September and early October. The heat, accompanied by
mostly dry weather, extended as far north as the Ohio Valley, hastening crop maturation and harvest activities, but
depleting topsoil moisture and stressing pastures. The Southeastern hot, dry spell abruptly ended in mid to late October,
partly due to surges of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico that included the remnants of Tropical Storms Nestor and Olga.
Earlier, Hurricane Dorian and Tropical Storm Imelda had made landfalls in the United States. Dorian, significantly
weakened in the wake of its catastrophic encounter with the northwestern Bahamas, grazed the southern Atlantic Coast in
early September. Officially, Dorian made landfall on September 6 on Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, as a Category 1
hurricane. Less than 2 weeks later, on September 17, Imelda suddenly formed while approaching Freeport, Texas.
Although inundating rain fell across southeastern Texas, agricultural impacts were relatively minor.
Elsewhere, cool-season precipitation was slow to arrive across the western United States, which—following a sub-par
Southwestern monsoon—led to autumn drought intensification in the Four Corners States. Major changes occurred,
however, during the second half of November, when two storm systems crossed the Southwest. The swift Southwestern
drought improvement stood in contrast to short-term dryness in the Northwest.
During much of the autumn of 2019, drought coverage in the contiguous United States ranged from 10 to 20 percent.
Coverage across the Lower 48 States peaked at 21 percent on October 15, when the Southeastern drought reached its
maximum intensity. Other areas of drought included the central and southern Plains, where some rangeland, pastures, and
winter wheat suffered due to a lack of topsoil moisture, and the Southwest, which experienced significant late-November
relief. According to the United States Drought Monitor, exceptional drought (D4) has been absent from the country since
March 2019.
December: Active December weather prevailed across most of the country, especially in the Southeast and a broad area
stretching from California and the Southwest to the northern Plains and upper Great Lakes region. From the Dakotas to
Upper Michigan, a persistently deep snow cover hampered final harvest efforts for crops such as corn and sunflowers. In

the last national report, dated December 8, only 92 percent of the Nation’s corn and 73 percent of the sunflowers had been
harvested. In North Dakota, 43 percent of the corn had been cut on that date, while 60 percent of the sunflowers had been
harvested. Snow also remained on the ground for much (or all) of the month in parts of the Northeast, where an
early-December storm dumped heavy snow.
In contrast, drier-than-normal weather covered portions of the southern Plains, as well as the western Gulf Coast region.
Several factors, including drought and periodic cold snaps, continued to adversely affect winter wheat in parts of
Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. During December, as much as 15 percent of the Nation’s winter wheat
production area was in drought, according to the United States Drought Monitor. However, a late-month storm system
provided some of the Plains’ driest wheat areas with highly beneficial moisture.
Portions of the Northwest also experienced drier-than-normal conditions, despite a late-month increase in precipitation. In
addition, Northwestern snow accumulations were limited by mild weather, leaving high-elevation snowpack 25 to
75 percent of the late-December average in much of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Elsewhere, near- or above-average
snowpack dominated areas from the Sierra Nevada to the central and southern Rockies, as well as the eastern slopes of the
northern Rockies, courtesy of multiple storms in late November and throughout December.

Crop Comments
Corn: Corn for grain production in the United States is estimated at 13.7 billion bushels, down 5 percent from the revised
2018 estimate. The average yield in the United States is estimated at 168.0 bushels per acre, 8.4 bushels below the 2018
yield of 176.4 bushels per acre.
Estimated yields in 2019 are down from the previous year across most of the Northern Plains and Eastern Corn Belt.
Record yields are estimated in Arizona, Florida, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington, and West Virginia.
Corn planted area, at 89.7 million acres, was up 1 percent from the revised 2018 estimate. Area harvested for grain was
estimated at 81.5 million acres, up less than 1 percent from the revised 2018 estimate.
The 2018 corn objective yield data indicated the lowest number of ears per acre since 2012 for the combined 10 objective
yield States (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin).
Corn silage production was estimated at 133 million tons for 2019, up 9 percent from the revised 2018 estimate. The
United States silage yield was estimated at 20.2 tons per acre, up 0.3 ton from 2018. Area harvested for silage was
estimated at 6.59 million acres, up 8 percent from the revised 2018 estimate.
Most of the country was abnormally wet in April, disrupting planting activities in a multitude of regions, including the
northern and southern Plains, 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 Mississippi Valley. By
April 28, only 15 percent of the Nation’s intended corn acreage had been planted—the slowest early-season planting pace
since 2013, when 5 percent had been sown by that date.

acres totaled 149,300 in 2019, twenty-five percent below a year earlier. Average yield, at 1,990 pounds per acre, was up
278 pounds from 2018. Burley production totaled 92.8 million pounds, down 8 percent from the previous year. Growers
harvested 48,600 acres, down 20 percent from 2018. Reported yields averaged 1,910 pounds per acre, up 265 pounds from
a year earlier. Record low harvested acres and production were estimated for flue-cured tobacco and burley tobacco.
Sugarbeets: Production for 2019 was estimated at 28.6 million tons, down 14 percent from the previous year’s revised
production. Growers in the 11 major sugarbeet-producing States planted 1.13 million acres, up 2 percent from the
2018 revised area. Harvested area, at 979,300 acres, was down 11 percent from the previous year. Estimated yield, at
29.2 tons per acre, was down 1.2 tons from last year.
Harvest progress in Minnesota and North Dakota was delayed in October due to excessive rainfall. This combined with
freezing temperatures resulted in some abandoned fields. Early snowstorms in Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, and
Wyoming negatively impacted yield. Michigan’s harvest was completed the second week of November despite cold and
snowy conditions.
Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2019 was estimated at 31.8 million tons, of which 30.2 million
tons were utilized for sugar and 1.63 million tons for seed. Total production for sugar and seed was down 8 percent from
2018. Sugarcane producers harvested 912,000 acres for sugar and seed in 2019, up 1 percent from the previous year. Yield

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Dry edible beans: United States dry edible bean production was estimated at 20.8 million cwt for 2019, down 16 percent
from the previous year for comparable States. Planted area was estimated at 1.29 million acres, up 7 percent from 2018 for
comparable States. Harvested area was estimated at 1.18 million acres, up 1 percent from the previous year for
comparable States. The average United States yield for dry edible beans for the 2019 season is 1,769 pounds per acre.
Beginning in 2019, dry edible bean estimates were discontinued in Montana and Texas. Also beginning in 2019, estimates
no longer include chickpeas.
Lentils: Production of lentils is estimated at 5.39 million cwt, down 36 percent from a year ago. Planted area, at
486,000 acres, is down 38 percent from last year, while harvested acreage, at 431,000 acres, is down 40 percent from
2018. The average yield is expected to be 1,250 pounds per acre, up 79 pounds from last year. This is the lowest
production on record since 2015.
In Montana, planting began late as spring precipitation persisted and many fields had standing water until the final week
of May. Harvest reached 95 percent completed by the week ending September 29. Hail and wet conditions were reported
throughout the season. In North Dakota, harvest started in early to mid-August and by October 20, harvest was 95 percent
complete.
Wrinkled seed peas: Beginning in 2019, wrinkled seed peas were included with dry edible peas.
Dry edible peas: Production of dry edible peas was estimated at 22.3 million cwt, up 37 percent for comparable States
from last year. Planted area, at 1.10 million acres, and harvested area, at 1.05 million acres, increased by 26 percent and
28 percent, respectively, for comparable States. The average United States yield is expected to total 2,124 pounds per
acre, up 143 pounds from 2018 for the comparable States. This is the highest yield on record since 2004.
In Montana, plantings began late as spring precipitation persisted and many fields had standing water until the final week
of May. Harvest reached 96 percent complete the week ending September 29. Comparatively, in 2018, harvest reached
95 percent complete the week ending September 8.
In North Dakota, planting was slightly delayed this year due to cold and wet spring weather. Crop development lagged
behind both last year’s and the 5-year average pace during the entire growing season. As of September 22,
ninety-six percent of the crop was harvested.
Beginning in 2019, estimates were discontinued in Oregon.
Austrian winter peas: Beginning in 2019, Austrian winter peas were included with dry edible peas.
Potatoes: Production in 2019 was estimated at 423 million cwt, down 2 percent from the 2018 crop for comparable States.
The average yield, at 449 cwt per acre, was down 5 cwt for comparable States from the previous year. Planted acres, at
968,300 acres, was up 1 percent from last year for comparable States. Harvested area, at 942,200 acres, was down
1 percent for comparable States from the previous year.
Idaho’s good weather in May kept planting on schedule. By the end of September, heavy moisture and cooler
temperatures throughout the month delayed harvest. Early freeze and additional moisture raised quality concerns. Growers
were able to complete harvest in October. Washington planting was delayed but was completed by the first week of June.
Excessive rain and hail storms affected some fields in western Washington, while the eastern part of the State recorded
temperatures in the triple digits during the growing season. Even with planting lagging behind normal, harvest was only
slightly behind schedule in August. Harvest was 95 percent complete as of November 3. North Dakota’s harvest began in
September. Prolonged wet conditions during late September and early October, in combination with cold conditions
during the remainder of October, hampered harvest progress. Potato harvest was only 70 percent complete by October 27,
in contrast to the previous year where harvest was virtually complete by the same date.
Beginning in 2019, potato estimates were discontinued in Alaska, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana,
New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia.

Crop Production 2019 Summary (January 2020)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

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
79,000 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 2019 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, 2.2 for Upland cotton and 1.2 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, 4.4 percent for Upland
cotton, and 2.4 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.
