Crop Seasons Overview Agricultural Crop Seasons - Mississippi The Program acknowledges that there are numerous information sources publicly available that contain general crop planting and harvest date information. These sources often provide conflicting crop season date statistics. In order to obtain crop season dates for the most commonly grown crops in Mississippi, the Program reviewed data compiled and reported by the USDA and/or State-level departments of agriculture. The Program analyzed the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service data (similar to the data provided at www.nass.usda.gov) which reports survey information related to farmer activities, such as planting and harvesting of crops. Using this survey data, the Program identified the dates by year in which at least 50 to 60 percent of the state’s crop acreage was planted and harvested for a specific crop (“Survey Date”). Using the Survey Date, the Program selected the beginning of the month closest to the Survey Date as the crop planting date, and the last day of the month closest to the Survey Date as the crop harvesting date. Additional research indicated that the activities required to prepare the fields for planting typically takes 30-45 days. Therefore, the Program adjusted the crop planting date by one month to determine the crop season start date. For example, if the crop planting date developed above is April 1st, the Program uses March 1st as the start of the crop season (“USDA Crop Season”). The crop harvesting date developed above is considered the end of the USDA Crop Season. The Program conducted additional research to ensure the reasonableness and accuracy of these USDA Crop Season dates. For example, the USDA’s Field Crops Usual Planting and Harvesting Dates Report, issued in October 2010 1 , contains the periods in which crops were planted and harvested over the preceding 20 years based upon historical crop progress data. The Program has observed that the USDA Crop Season dates are in line with the average date ranges in the Report, or has understood any variances that occurred in a given year. When USDA National Agricultural Statistic Service data was not available for a specific crop the Program may identify USDA Crop Season Dates from another Gulf State as a proxy for the Claimant’s crop season or information reported by individual states in a statistical publication.

Agricultural Crop Seasons - Mississippi
The Program acknowledges that there are numerous information sources publicly available that contain general crop planting and harvest date information. These sources often provide conflicting crop season date statistics. In order to obtain crop season dates for the most commonly grown crops in Mississippi, the Program reviewed data compiled and reported by the USDA and/or State-level departments of agriculture. The Program analyzed the USDA National Agricultural Statistics Service data (similar to the data provided at www.nass.usda.gov) which reports survey information related to farmer activities, such as planting and harvesting of crops. Using this survey data, the Program identified the dates by year in which at least 50 to 60 percent of the state’s crop acreage was planted and harvested for a specific crop (“Survey Date”). Using the Survey Date, the Program selected the beginning of the month closest to the Survey Date as the crop planting date, and the last day of the month closest to the Survey Date as the crop harvesting date.
Additional research indicated that the activities required to prepare the fields for planting typically takes 30-45 days.
