Released June 30, 2022, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA).
Special Note
Estimates of the portion of the United States total planted acreage that was left to be planted when the survey was
conducted are published on page 6. These estimates are based on data provided by respondents who were
contacted between May 28 and June 16. Nationally, corn left to be planted was 4.03 million acres. Soybeans left
to be planted for the United States was 15.8 million acres.
In July, NASS will collect updated information on 2022 acres planted to barley, canola, corn, dry edible beans,
oats, sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, and Durum & other spring wheat in 3 States. Excessive rainfall had
delayed planting at the time of the survey, leaving a portion of acres still to be planted in:
• Minnesota: barley, canola, corn, dry edible beans, oats, soybeans, sunflowers, and other spring wheat;
• North Dakota: barley, canola, corn, dry edible beans, oats, soybeans, sunflowers, and Durum &
other spring wheat;
• South Dakota: barley, corn, oats, sorghum, soybeans, sunflowers, and other spring wheat.
If the newly collected data justify any changes, NASS will publish updated acreage estimates in the
Crop Production report to be released at noon ET on Friday, August 12.
Corn Planted Acreage Down 4 Percent from 2021
Soybean Acreage Up 1 Percent
All Wheat Acreage Up 1 Percent
All Cotton Acreage Up 11 Percent
Corn planted area for all purposes in 2022 is estimated at 89.9 million acres, down 4 percent or 3.44 million acres from
last year. Compared with last year, planted acreage is expected to be down or unchanged in 35 of the 48 estimating States.
Area harvested for grain, at 81.9 million acres, is down 4 percent from last year.
Soybean planted area for 2022 is estimated at 88.3 million acres, up 1 percent from last year. Compared with last year,
planted acreage is up or unchanged in 24 of the 29 estimating States.
All wheat planted area for 2022 is estimated at 47.1 million acres, up 1 percent from 2021. If realized, this represents the
fifth lowest all wheat planted area since records began in 1919. The 2022 winter wheat planted area, at 34.0 million acres,
is up 1 percent from last year, but down 1 percent from the previous estimate. Of this total, about 23.5 million acres are
Hard Red Winter, 6.86 million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.61 million acres are White Winter. Area expected to be
planted to other spring wheat for 2022 is estimated at 11.1 million acres, down 3 percent from 2021. Of this total, about
10.4 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. Durum planted area for 2022 is expected to total 1.98 million acres, up
21 percent from the previous year.
All cotton planted area for 2022 is estimated at 12.5 million acres, up 11 percent from last year. Upland area is estimated
at 12.3 million acres, up 11 percent from 2021. American Pima area is estimated at 156,000 acres, up 23 percent from
2021.

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 90 percent of all Upland cotton planted
acres.

Spring Weather Review
Highlights: Drought coverage hit a 9-year high, peaking at 61.11 percent of the continental United States on March 8,
according to the Drought Monitor. The last time national drought coverage exceeded 60 percent had been January 8,
2013, when the country was just starting to emerge from a record-breaking drought that had blanketed 65.45 percent of
the Lower 48 States at its peak on September 25, 2012.
Subsequently, drought coverage fell to 49.30 percent by May 31, as a La Niña-driven storm track eased or eradicated
drought across the North, as well as the mid-South, Mississippi Delta, and eastern sections of the central and southern
Plains. As a result, the Nation’s second-longest modern stretch with 50 percent drought coverage ended at 27 weeks
(November 23, 2021 – May 24, 2022). In the 21st century, the longest streak with more than half of the country affected
by drought lasted 42 weeks, from June 26, 2012 – April 9, 2013.
Even with the reduction in drought coverage, serious impacts persisted from Oregon and California to southern sections of
the Rockies and Plains. For example, spring rangeland and pasture conditions were the lowest of the 21st century, breaking
a record set in 2021. National conditions slightly improved during May, with rangeland and pastures rated very poor to
poor decreasing from 56 to 46 percent between May 1 and 29. Meanwhile, national winter wheat conditions remained
nearly steady, as late-spring rainfall arrived too late to benefit the crop in many of the central and southern Plains’
production areas. Nationally, 40 percent of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition at the end of May.
Significant drought implications, including low reservoir levels and depleted soil moisture, persisted in the Southwest. In
addition, numerous early-season wildfires raged across the Four Corners States, especially in New Mexico. By mid-June,
the two largest wildfires in modern New Mexico history—the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire and the Black Fire—had
charred more than 340,000 and 315,000 acres, respectively. Until this year, New Mexico’s largest fire had been the
Whitewater-Baldy Complex, which scorched 297,845 acres in May-July 2012.
In stark contrast, the planting season progressed at a record-slow pace in parts of the north-central United States and
proceeded sluggishly in the Midwest, amid frequent storms and periods of cold weather. By May 8, only 22 percent of the
Nation’s intended corn acreage had been seeded. Although planting conditions eventually improved across the heart of the
Midwest, with an additional 64 percent of the national corn acreage planted during the 3 weeks ending May 29, major
delays persisted in Minnesota and North Dakota. Those planting delays extended to other Northern crops, including spring
wheat (73 percent planted, nationally, by May 29) and sugarbeets (75 percent, a record-slow pace for that date). Among
21st century years, only 2011 featured a slower spring wheat planting pace by May 29.
Cool spring conditions also dominated the Northwest, allowing rangeland and pastures to begin recovering from
long-term drought but slowing the development of winter wheat and spring-sown crops. In addition, Northwestern
mountains retained considerable high-elevation snowpack, setting the stage for a record-setting flood along the
Yellowstone River when heavy rain and warmer conditions arrived in mid-June.
Elsewhere, less extreme conditions covered the eastern United States, although warmer-than-normal spring weather
prevailed. In addition, pockets of dryness expanded during spring, mainly from Georgia to the Carolinas and in coastal
New England.
Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information,
the spring of 2022 featured generally warm, wet conditions, with notable exceptions. The national average temperature of
52.2°F was 1.3°F above the 1901-2000 mean, while precipitation averaged 8.07 inches—102 percent of normal. It was the
seventh time in the last 8 years—all but 2019—with a top-thirty ranking for spring warmth, based on 128 years of records.
However, several Northern States experienced below-average temperatures, led by Washington with its 19th-coolest
spring. Conversely, top-ten rankings for spring warmth were noted in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, along with seven
Atlantic Coast States. Meanwhile, state precipitation rankings ranged from the sixth-driest spring in New Mexico to the
fourth-wettest spring in North Dakota. Elsewhere, it was the tenth-driest spring in Arizona, but the sixth-wettest spring in
Minnesota.
March: Drier-than-normal March weather in many areas of the West capped an extremely disappointing winter wet
season, leaving key agricultural regions facing significant impacts—including low reservoir levels, reductions in water
allocations, depleted soil moisture, and poor rangeland and pasture conditions—from a third consecutive year of drought.

Notably, the water equivalency of the Sierra Nevada snowpack—hovering near 16 inches (just under two-thirds of the
March 1 average) as the month began—shriveled to around 11 inches (about 40 percent of the end-of-season average) by
March 31. An early-season Western heat wave, which peaked during the week of March 20-26, contributed to the loss of
high-elevation snowpack due to melting and evaporation.
Meanwhile, significant drought impacts extended across portions of the Nation’s mid-section, where similar conditions to
those observed in the West led to stress on rangeland, pastures, and winter grains. By April 3, topsoil moisture on the
Plains rated very short to short ranged from 46 percent in North Dakota to 96 percent in Montana. On the same date,
Texas led the southern Plains with topsoil moisture rated 80 percent very short to short. Winter wheat conditions also
reflected the Plains’ drought, with 81 percent of Texas’ crop rated in very poor to poor condition by April 3. At least
one-quarter of the wheat was rated very poor to poor on that date in several other states, including Oklahoma (44 percent),
Colorado (39 percent), Montana (37 percent), and Kansas (30 percent). Nationally, 36 percent of the winter wheat was
rated very poor to poor on April 3—the highest amount in the first condition report of the season since April 7, 1996,
when 40 percent was rated very poor to poor.
Numerous large wildfires flared during March across the central and southern Plains, driven by howling winds and fed by
ample freeze- and drought-cured vegetation. Among the largest wildfires was the Eastland Complex (multiple fires,
beginning on March 17, combined for management purposes), which collectively scorched 54,513 acres of vegetation and
destroyed more than 150 structures, many of them homes in the community of Carbon, Texas. Later in the month,
30,000- to 50,000-acre blazes included the Washita River Fire near Durham, Oklahoma; the Borrega Fire west of
Kingsville, Texas; the Canadian River Bottom Fire southwest of Canadian, Texas; and the Crittenburg Complex at
Fort Hood, Texas.
In contrast, wetter-than-normal conditions were common during March from the Mississippi Valley eastward, with a few
exceptions. By April 3, Midwestern topsoil moisture ranged from one-third to more than one-half surplus in Michigan
(53 percent surplus), Indiana (42 percent), Illinois (42 percent), and Ohio (37 percent). Pockets of wetness extended into
the South, resulting in mostly minor fieldwork and planting delays.
Elsewhere, several episodes of severe weather accompanied occasional thunderstorms. Impressive, early-season tornado
outbreaks struck various regions on March 5-6, 21-23, and 29-31, resulting in a preliminary national monthly count of
approximately 250 tornadoes—a potential monthly record. One of the worst outbreaks started on March 5, when a rash of
tornadoes in Iowa—unusual that far north so early in the year—resulted in seven fatalities in Madison and Lucas
Counties.
March warmth was most prevalent in the East and West, with cooler conditions more common across the Nation’s
mid-section. However, persistently cold weather was limited to the upper Great Lakes region, where monthly
temperatures generally averaged 2 to 4°F below normal. In contrast, similar positive temperature departures (2 to 4°F
above normal) were observed in the East and Far West.
April: A resurgent La Niña helped to fuel an active storm track, resulting in cool, wet conditions across much of the
Nation’s northern tier. April temperatures generally averaged at least 4°F below normal from eastern Washington into the
upper Great Lakes region and were more than 8°F below normal in parts of North Dakota. The heaviest precipitation,
relative to normal, fell across the northern Plains, where several rounds of heavy rain and wind-driven snow eased or
eradicated drought. In fact, moderate to major flooding developed late in the month in the Red River Valley, north of
Fargo, North Dakota.
Meanwhile, severe thunderstorms frequently accompanied several strong cold fronts crossing the Plains, Midwest, and
South, with most of the month’s more than 200 tornadoes—based on preliminary reports—occurring on April 4-6, 11-13,
22-23, and 29-30. Dozens of tornadoes were spotted on April 5 from Mississippi to South Carolina, followed by an
impressive, early-season Midwestern tornado outbreak on April 12 from eastern Nebraska to southeastern Minnesota. The
South endured another significant tornado outbreak on April 12-13, while severe weather across the Plains peaked on
April 22 and 29.
Despite late-month thunderstorms across the Nation’s mid-section, drought continued to intensity across the southern half
of the High Plains, amid sharp temperature fluctuations, periodic high winds, and occasional blowing dust. Nearly half
(43 percent) of the Nation’s winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition on May 1, the greatest amount in those
two categories at that time of year since April-May 1996. In addition, more than half (56 percent) of the Nation’s
38
Acreage (June 2022)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition on May 1, very close to the record-high value of the last
quarter-century—59 percent very poor to poor for several weeks in late-summer 2012.
Despite the worsening Southwestern situation, which included several large, destructive wildfires, national drought
coverage decreased 4 percentage points, from 58 to 54 percent, during the 5-week period ending May 3. Most of the
reduction in drought coverage occurred in the North and parts of the South, including the southeastern Plains and the
Mississippi Delta. Farther west, early-season wildfires in Arizona and New Mexico burned hundreds of thousands of acres
of vegetation and destroyed hundreds of homes. In northeastern New Mexico, near Las Vegas, the Calf Canyon Fire
merged with an escaped prescribed burn, destroying at least 900 structures.
Elsewhere, cool, damp Midwestern conditions limited April fieldwork, leading to a sluggish planting pace for corn and
soybeans. By May 1, topsoil moisture ranged from 24 to 40 percent surplus in all Midwestern States except Iowa,
Nebraska, and South Dakota. On the same date, only 14 percent of the intended national corn acreage had been planted,
well behind the 5-year average pace of 33 percent. This represented the slowest planting pace since 2013, when only
8 percent of the corn had been planted by May 1.
May: In late May, national drought coverage fell below 50 percent for the first time since November 2021, according to
the Drought Monitor, but serious drought concerns persisted in many areas from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains. For
example, drought continued to ravage much of the Plains’ winter wheat, with the crop maturing in southern production
areas amid ongoing drought and periods of extreme heat. By May 29, more than one-quarter of the winter wheat was rated
in very poor to poor condition in each of the Plains’ major production states, ranging from 26 percent in Montana and
South Dakota to 80 percent in Texas. Nationally, 40 percent of the winter wheat was rated very poor to poor on May 29,
with harvest already underway in the South.
Despite the drought, May thunderstorms—featuring high winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes—peppered the Plains.
Storms extended into other regions, including the Midwest, South, and East. One of the most extensive severe-weather
outbreaks occurred on May 12, when a derecho spanned hundreds of miles from eastern Nebraska into central Minnesota,
spawning dozens of tornadoes and resulting in localized wind gusts above 100 mph. Due to late planting and emergence,
the primarily agricultural impact from the May 12 high-wind event was damage to farm buildings and equipment. Another
outbreak on May 30 struck a similar area, from Nebraska to Minnesota. Despite the almost-daily frequency of severe
weather in May 2022, preliminary reports indicated that only slightly more than 200 tornadoes occurred, nationally—well
below the final counts of 2003, 2004, and 2019, all of which featured more than 500 twisters.
Meanwhile, the Southwest endured a difficult May, amid worsening drought and periods of extreme heat. In addition,
several high-wind events fanned early-season wildfires, which included New Mexico’s largest blaze in modern history.
The Hermits Peak Fire, an escaped prescribed burn from April 6 near Las Vegas, New Mexico, joined with the
Calf Canyon Fire—a holdover (or sleeper) fire that reemerged on April 19, following about 3 months of dormancy—
burned well over 300,000 acres of vegetation by early June. Another huge wildfire, the Black Fire in southwestern
New Mexico, was ignited on May 14 and was only about 50 percent contained by early June.
In contrast, many Midwestern producers contended with too much rain and soggy field conditions, leading to extensive
planting delays. Elsewhere, cooler-than-normal conditions were prevalent from the Pacific Northwest to the northern
Intermountain West and northern sections of the Rockies and Plains, while near- or above-normal temperatures covered
the remainder of the country. In portions of central Texas, early-season heat boosted May temperatures at least 6°F above
normal. Temperatures averaged 2 to 4°F above normal in parts of the Northeast. Conversely, Northwestern readings
averaged at least 2 to 4°F below normal. On May 21-22, a late-season freeze extending as far south and east as Nebraska
resulted in some damage to winter grains and spring-sown crops, although concerns for the latter were limited by late
planting and slow emergence.
Crop Comments
Corn: The 2022 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 89.9 million acres, down 4 percent from last year.
Growers expect to harvest 81.9 million acres for grain, down 4 percent from last year. Record low planted area is
estimated in Rhode Island. Farmers responding to the survey indicated that 4.03 million acres of the estimated corn
acreage remained to be planted at the time of the interview.

By April 3, producers had planted 2 percent of the Nation’s corn crop, equal to both last year and the 5-year average. By
April 10, producers had planted 2 percent of the Nation’s corn crop, 2 percentage points behind last year and 1 percentage
point behind the 5-year average. By April 24, producers had planted 7 percent of the Nation’s corn, 9 percentage points
behind last year and 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Two percent of the Nation’s corn had emerged by
April 24, one percentage point behind both the previous year and the 5-year average.
By May 1, producers had planted 14 percent of the Nation’s corn, 28 percentage points behind last year and 19 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. Three percent of the Nation’s corn acreage had emerged by May 1, four percentage

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 9,100 segments or parcels of land (average approximately 1 square mile) and a probability list frame
survey with a sample of approximately 64,200 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 2022 area frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 10.8 percent, corn 1.2 percent,
Upland cotton 3.1 percent, sorghum 7.9 percent, soybeans 1.2 percent, other spring wheat 4.7 percent, and winter wheat
2.4 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 0.4 percent for all biotech varieties, 8.9 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties,
4.2 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 0.7 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are
approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 0.8 percent for all biotech varieties,
17.8 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 8.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.4 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 1.8 percent for all biotech varieties, 17.3 percent for insect resistant (Bt)
varieties, 14.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.7 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 2002-2021 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes statistically the
46
Acreage (June 2022)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
"Root Mean Square Error.” Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current estimates
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 1.0 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 1.0 percent. Chances are
9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 1.8 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 750,000 acres, ranging from 39,000 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.
