October Weather Summary
In nearly all areas of the country, summer crop harvesting during October advanced at a torrid pace, amid frequently drierthan-normal conditions. By October 30, the Nation’s rice harvest (97 percent complete) was nearly done, while progress
had advanced beyond the three-quarters mark for sugarbeets (89 percent), soybeans (88 percent), peanuts (79 percent),
sorghum (77 percent), and corn (76 percent). Except for rice, on par with the normal pace, all those harvest numbers were
ahead of the respective 5-year averages. Meanwhile, winter wheat seeding progressed roughly on schedule (87 percent
planted by October 30, versus the 5-year average of 85 percent), although emergence was hampered in some areas by lack
of moisture and October freezes. Near the end of October, wheat emergence lagged the average pace by 7 to
32 percentage points in eight states—four on the Great Plains and four from the mid-South into the lower Midwest.
Cooler-than-normal October weather dominated areas from the middle and lower Mississippi Valley to the middle and
southern Atlantic States. Southeastern monthly temperatures broadly averaged 2 to 4°F below normal. The chilliest
weather arrived in two separate waves, about a week apart, in early to mid-October, with the latter cold snap resulting in
freezes deep into the Gulf Coast States, including portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and northern Florida. In
places where freezes occurred, the combination of dry weather and cold conditions curtailed pasture growth and limited
winter wheat establishment. The cold weather also nipped a few immature summer crops, including double-cropped,
late-planted soybeans. On October 9, about the time of the first round of freezes into the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys,
91 percent of the Nation’s soybeans were dropping leaves. Those numbers were lower in states such as Kentucky
(70 percent dropping leaves) and Tennessee (85 percent), although temperatures were only marginally low enough in
those areas to cause freeze injury. In contrast, monthly temperatures averaged 4 to 8°F above normal in parts of the
Northwest. It was the warmest October on record in Washington locations such as Omak (57.1°F, or 8.0°F above normal)
and Spokane (55.0°F, or 7.1°F above normal).
Following the Nation’s driest September since 1956, drier-than-normal weather continued to dominate many parts of the
country in October. Among the areas receiving above-normal October precipitation were the northern Atlantic region and
a swath from southeastern California to western Texas. A late-month storm system delivered much-needed moisture from
the southern Plains to the Great Lakes region. Periods of beneficial precipitation also occurred from the Pacific Northwest
to Montana and western North Dakota. Even with spotty precipitation, national topsoil moisture rated very short to short
peaked on October 23 at 68 percent. By October 30, very short to short ratings at or above 70 percent were observed in a
dozen states from the Rockies and Plains into the Southeast, led by Oklahoma (91 percent) and Kansas (89 percent). This
year’s dry autumn, superimposed on long-term drought, lowered river levels in the Mississippi River basin. During
October, record-low water levels were observed on the Mississippi River from New Madrid, Missouri, downstream to
Greenville, Mississippi. Previous record lows had been mostly set in July 1988 or August 2012, although Greenville’s
low-water mark had been established on January 4, 1964. The reduced water levels restricted barge traffic on the Nation’s
busiest inland waterway and necessitated dredging operations to widen and deepen the river channel.
Drought coverage in the contiguous United States stood at 62.95 percent on October 25 and 62.78 percent on
November 1, up from a recent minimum of 44.02 percent on September 6, according to the Drought Monitor. Moderate to
exceptional drought (D1 to D4) coverage was last higher in 2012, when coverage peaked at 65.45 percent on
September 25. National drought coverage was last below 40 percent more than 2 years ago, on September 22, 2020.
Finally, coverage of abnormal dryness (D0) and drought (D1 to D4) grew to a 21st century record of 85.28 percent by
November 1, surpassing 80.76 percent on July 17, 2012.
As the month progressed, Northwestern precipitation helped to tamp down dozens of previously active wildfires. Still, by
late October, national wildfires had burned more than 7.2 million acres of vegetation, well above the 10-year average of
6.7 million acres. January-October wildfires have charred more than 7 million acres in 5 of the last 8 years. Meanwhile,
the Atlantic tropical basin turned relatively quiet again, following the early-month departure of Hurricane Ian’s remnants.
Named Atlantic tropical cyclones that formed during October were Julia, Karl, and Lisa—all three remained well south of
the United States.

October Agricultural Summary
Apart from the Southwest, October was warmer than normal for most of the western half of the Nation. Areas in
California, Montana, and Washington recorded temperatures 8°F or more above normal for the month. Except for
New England, most of the eastern half of the Nation was cooler than normal. Parts of the Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley,
and Southeast recorded temperatures 4°F or more below normal. While much of the Nation remained drier than normal
for the month, much of the Southwest and parts of coastal New Jersey and the Rockies recorded at least twice the normal
amount of precipitation.

Statistical Methodology
Field crop survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between October 25 and
November 4 to gather information on expected yield as of November 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton, and
soybeans were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for about 75 percent of the United States
production. Randomly selected plots were revisited to make current counts. The counts made within each sample plot
depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, plant counts are recorded along with other measurements
that provide information to forecast the number of ears, bolls, or pods and their weight. The counts are used with similar
data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net
yield. The plots are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is harvested and weighed. After the farm
operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss. Starting in 2019,
NASS eliminated the August objective yield survey for cotton (except Texas), corn, and soybeans.
The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal
interviewers. Approximately 6,100 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about
probable yield.
Field crop estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported data were reviewed for
reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather
patterns and crop progress compared to previous months and previous years. Each Regional Field Office submits their
analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State
analyses to prepare the published November 1 forecasts.
Revision policy: The November 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each
month throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the marketing
season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks, production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks.
Revisions are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant changes. 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. Current year, 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 Summary 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: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the November 1 production forecast, the “Root Mean Square
Error,” a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the November 1 production
forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage
deviations for the latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes statistically the “Root Mean
Square Error.” Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's forecast are not different from those influencing
recent years. For example, the “Root Mean Square Error” for the November 1 corn for grain production forecast is
1.2 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast will not be above or below the final
estimate by more than 1.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not
exceed 2.0 percent.
Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the November 1
forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the November 1 forecast and the final
estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 114 million bushels, ranging from 4 million bushels to 395 million
bushels. The November 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 8 times and above 12 times. This does not imply that
the November 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
