36 Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) 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 18 State Total: 2013-2015 [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]

2015 Annual Weather Summary

Highlights: A strengthening El Niño arrived early enough to influence late-spring weather patterns—especially in the

south-central United States—then altered the Atlantic and Pacific hurricane seasons. Specifically, El Niño suppressed

Atlantic tropical activity, but enhanced the eastern Pacific hurricane season. Often during the summer, remnant Pacific

tropical moisture became embedded in the Southwestern monsoon circulation, contributing to rare warm-season rainfall

events in southern California and a robust summer wet season in much of the Great Basin and the Southwest. However,

hot, dry weather plagued the Northwestern growing season, causing additional challenges for producers in the wake of

sub-par snow accumulations.

Record-setting, late-spring rainfall in the south-central United States put an end to a drought that had begun in late 2010.

During the late summer and early autumn, however, hot, dry weather brought a return of short-term drought across parts

of the South. The Southern drought intensity peaked in October, only to be washed away by another round of heavy rain.

Additional heavy rain fell across the South toward year’s end, leading to record-high annual precipitation totals in parts of

the western Gulf Coast region.

Farther north, timely spring and summer rainfall and moderate summer temperatures led to a nearly ideal growing season

across the upper Midwest. The lower Midwest also experienced a lack of heat stress in 2015, but had a much more

unfavorable rainfall distribution. Specifically, torrential late-spring and early-summer downpours in the lower Midwest

led to flooding and planting delays, following by a late-summer turn toward dryness that stressed poorly rooted corn and

soybeans.

Meanwhile, the odd interaction between Atlantic Hurricane Joaquin, which remained offshore, and a non-tropical storm

resulted in historic, early-October rainfall in South Carolina and environs. Additional heavy rain plagued parts of the

Southeast for the remainder of the year, hindering summer crop harvesting and winter wheat planting.

In contrast, California completed a fourth consecutive year of drought as the 2014-15 wet season drew to a close, leading

to another summer of water restrictions and fallowed acreage. In late 2015, the primary storm track often remained north

of California, bringing substantial drought relief to the Northwest. Nevertheless, meaningful precipitation fell as far south

as the Sierra Nevada, boosting snowpack to near-normal levels by year’s end.

Elsewhere, the Plains’ 2015 winter wheat crop experienced periods of unfavorable weather, including winter cold without

much snow cover, leading to declines in crop condition. Later, spring wetness hampered wheat harvest efforts across the

southern Plains. Summer growing conditions were mostly favorable across the Plains, but pockets of dryness caused some

autumn emergence and establishment issues from Kansas southward for the 2016 winter wheat crop.

During 2015, drought coverage in the contiguous United States peaked at 38 percent, according to the U.S. Drought

Monitor, on May 5, with a secondary peak of 35 percent on October 20. By the end of 2015, however, drought coverage

had dropped to 19 percent, the lowest since December 2010. Most of the remaining drought was confined to the Far West.

In stark contrast, a late-December deluge led to record flooding in parts of the middle Mississippi Valley, especially in

parts of Missouri and Illinois.

Winter 2014-15: The warmest winter on record covered Washington and four other western States (Arizona, California,

Nevada, and Utah). In California, the previous warmest winter had occurred just last year, in 2013-14. In addition, it was

the second-warmest winter on record in Idaho and Oregon. In contrast, colder-than-normal weather dominated the eastern

half of the United States, despite a mild December. Conditions turned especially harsh in late winter, when the

second-coldest February on record occurred in nine States from Ohio to New England. The Eastern cold wave peaked on

February 20, when freezes were noted as far south as interior southern Florida.

Between the Western warmth and the Eastern chill, the Plains were subjected to frequent and rapid temperature changes.

The winter temperatures extremes, some of which occurred without the benefit of a protective snow cover, caused general

declines in crop condition for winter wheat. Outside of the hard red winter wheat belt, parts of the upper Midwest

experienced a “snow drought,” with less precipitation than normal falling during the winter months.

Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) 85 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Only two small areas, the northern Atlantic region and the Southwest, reported wetter-than-normal winter weather. In

parts of the Northeast, extremely heavy snow fell from late January to mid-February. Elsewhere, most of California’s wet

weather was compressed into two brief periods—the first 3 weeks of December and several days in early February.

Spring: The sudden spring intensification of El Niño contributed to an unexpected deluge in the south-central

United States. The heavy rain eradicated the southern Plains’ 4½-year drought but led to widespread May flooding across

the southeastern Plains, mid-South, and western Gulf Coast region. Significant, late-spring precipitation also fell across

the northern Plains and upper Midwest, helping to boost soil moisture in the wake of a drier-than-normal winter.

In contrast, California’s warmer- and drier-than-normal spring ensured a fourth consecutive year of drought and

prematurely melted an already record-low snowpack. Problems with anemic snowpack extended through the

Pacific Coast States and into the Great Basin and northern Rockies. However, late-spring precipitation was heavy enough

to reduce or eliminate drought coverage in the central and southern Rockies and environs.

Elsewhere, generally drier-than-normal spring weather prevailed in the Atlantic Coast States, with near-record dryness

noted in parts of New England. In the Southeast, above-normal temperatures accompanied sub-par rainfall.

Summer: A strengthening El Niño likely had only a passing influence on summer weather patterns in the United States,

but had a profound effect on the tropical Atlantic and Pacific basins. For example, hostile upper-level winds contributed to

the late-August demise of Hurricane Danny and Tropical Storm Erika, shredding the storms before they could threaten the

mainland United States. Meanwhile, the unusually warm central Pacific Ocean was rife with tropical activity in August, as

five hurricanes churned all around Hawaii without a direct strike.

Meanwhile in the contiguous United States, hot summer weather across the West and South contrasted with moderate

temperatures in the Midwest. The pleasant Midwestern weather allowed corn and soybeans to advance into, and through,

the reproductive and filling stages of development with negligible heat stress. However, the Midwestern summer rainfall

distribution was not ideal, with parts of the southern and eastern Corn Belt plagued by excessive moisture into July. Some

of the previously waterlogged areas experienced a rapid drying trend during August, leading to further crop stress. Farther

south, heat and drought development led to an increase in stress on some pastures and row crops from eastern Texas and

southeastern Oklahoma to the Carolinas. In the western Gulf Coast region, river basins that were enduring the worst

flooding in at least 25 years as summer began were suddenly hit with an extended period of hot, dry weather. By

summer’s end, short-term dryness had expanded northward through the Atlantic Coast States.

Elsewhere, the Northwest—especially Washington—bore the brunt of worsening drought that adversely affected both

winter wheat and spring-sown small grains. Conversely, parts of southern California received unusually heavy rain,

especially during July, but not enough to dent the 4-year drought. Monsoon-related rain showers frequented the

Southwest, providing limited drought relief and causing sporadic flash flooding.

Autumn: Consistent warmth, in part related to a strong El Niño, led to the Nation’s warmest autumn on record. Even

some November cooling in the western United States failed to prevent the former record—set in the fall of 1963—from

being broken. Autumn’s most impressive heat wave occurred in mid-October, shortly before a significant pattern change

brought record-setting rainfall and widespread flooding to parts of the South.

The late-October deluge in the south-central United States, in part fueled by the remnants of Pacific Hurricane Patricia,

was only one of several impressive periods of precipitation. Earlier, moisture indirectly associated with

Atlantic Hurricane Joaquin had brought catastrophic, early-October flooding to parts of South Carolina, setting the stage

for a very difficult harvest (and winter wheat planting) season for some Southeastern producers.

Farther north, most Midwestern producers were able to complete corn and soybean harvesting before field conditions

began to deteriorate during the second half of autumn. Ultimately, parts of the central and western Corn Belt turned wet,

with significant snow twice accumulating across portions of the north-central United States during the second half of

November.

86 Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Elsewhere, the early part of the Western wet season had some unexpected results, considering the strong El Niño. The

Pacific Northwest received unusually heavy precipitation, with some beneficial rain and snow spreading across the

interior Northwest and southward into central California. Early-season storminess also helped to build snowpack in the

Great Basin and Intermountain West, but few meaningful storms reached southern California.

December: Record-setting December warmth covered the Midwest and East, while heavy to record-setting precipitation

fell across the Northwest, mid-South, and upper Midwest. Ongoing precipitation further eased or eradicated Northwestern

drought, but southern California and the Desert Southwest received little December moisture.

Farther east, an already wet pattern across the Nation’s mid-section culminated in a late-month deluge that drove the

Mississippi River to record-high levels from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Thebes, Illinois. Record-breaking crests were

also noted along several Mississippi River tributaries, especially in Missouri. The wetness across the mid-South and lower

Midwest increased concerns about Soft Red Winter Wheat due to standing water and lowland flooding. Excessively wet

conditions also continued to plague parts of the Southeast, hampering final harvest and winter wheat planting efforts.

Unusual warmth accompanied the general wetness across the eastern half of the country. In the Southeast, warm

conditions allowed winter grains and cool-season pastures to continue to develop. Farther north, periods of snow

blanketed the upper Midwest, despite above-normal temperatures. Occasional snow also fell across the Plains, providing

winter wheat with some moisture and insulation. On the southern High Plains, however, a late-month blizzard caused

significant livestock losses due to bitter cold and wind-driven snow.

2015 Annual Crop Summary

April: Temperatures were generally above-normal across most of the Nation during the month of April. The major

exceptions to this trend were recorded in the Pacific Northwest, southern Rocky Mountains, and New England, where

April average temperatures were below normal. Monthly precipitation levels were generally within 3 inches of normal,

with exceptions in the southern Great Plains, the Mississippi Delta, and Kentucky. By April 12, two percent of the

Nation’s corn crop was planted, slightly behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average with planting

progress at or behind the 5-year average in all estimating States except Kansas. Producers had planted 55 percent of this

year’s corn crop by May 3, twenty-seven percentage points ahead of last year and 17 percentage points ahead of the

5-year average. Thirty-six percent of the corn crop was planted during the final week of the month, tied for the

third-highest National weekly planting progress on record behind the weeks ending May 19, 2013, and May 10, 1992. By

April 5, producers had planted 2 percent of this year’s cotton crop, 4 percentage points behind both last year and the

5-year average. Nationally, cotton producers had planted 17 percent of the cotton crop by May 3, slightly ahead of last

year but 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average.

May: Above-average temperatures across the eastern United States during the month of May allowed producers to catch

up on spring fieldwork delays caused by cool, wet weather earlier in the spring. With the exception of the

Pacific Northwest, most locations in the western United States recorded below average temperatures for May slowing

planting and crop progress in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. Heading of this year’s winter wheat crop advanced

to 84 percent complete by May 31, six percentage points ahead of last year and 7 percentage points ahead of the 5-year

average. Warm weather in the soft white wheat growing region during the last week of the month advanced wheat

development, with heading 33 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average in both Idaho and Oregon. Nationally,

83 percent of the rice crop was seeded by May 10, eleven percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year

average. Rice planting advanced 37 percentage points in California and 36 percentage points in Missouri during the first

week of May. Ninety percent of the rice crop was emerged by May 31, two percentage points ahead of last year and

3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Arkansas rice producers reported the loss of some acreage to flooding

during the month but were able to apply pre-flood fertilizers and herbicides where possible. Planting of the 2015 corn crop

was 95 percent complete by May 31, slightly ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. By the end of May, at least

90 percent of the corn had emerged in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Planting of the

2015 soybean crop advanced to 13 percent complete by May 3, eight percentage points ahead of last year and

4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 31, seventy-one percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was

planted, 4 percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By the end of the month, wet

Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) 87 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

conditions slowed the soybean planting pace in the central United States, with planting progress 42 percentage points

behind the 5-year average in Kansas and 34 percentage points behind in Missouri.

June: Areas of the central and eastern Corn Belt recorded more than 200 percent of normal precipitation during the month

of June causing delays in spring fieldwork and deterioration of crop ratings. Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio recorded the

wettest June on record dating back to 1895. Dry conditions stressed the Pacific coast with major regions of California,

Oregon, and Washington. Average monthly temperatures were generally above normal across the Nation with areas in the

Pacific Northwest more than 10°F above normal in June. By June 28, sixty-eight percent of the corn crop was reported in

good to excellent condition, 7 percentage points below the same time last year. Ninety-four percent of the Nation’s

soybean crop was planted by June 28, slightly behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average.

Missouri continued to lag the rest of the Nation in planting progress. By June 28, Missouri producers had planted

62 percent of their intended soybean crop, 32 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationally, 89 percent of the

soybean crop was emerged by June 28, four percentage points behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year

average. Eight percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage by month’s end, slightly behind

both last year and the 5-year average. Heading of the Nation’s barley crop advanced to 62 percent complete by June 28,

thirty-three percentage points ahead of last year and 36 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Hot, dry conditions

in Montana and Washington dried out soils and lowered barley condition ratings in June. By June 28, producers had

harvested 38 percent of the winter wheat crop, 4 percentage points behind last year and 8 percentage points behind the

5-year average.

July: A band stretching from the southern Rocky Mountains through the southern Great Plains in Oklahoma and northern

Texas and into the middle Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys had areas recording over 200 percent of normal

precipitation for the month of July. In the eastern Corn Belt, additional rainfall on already saturated soils made it difficult

to complete summer fieldwork and deteriorated crop conditions. Slightly below-average temperatures across most of the

northern Great Plains and the Corn Belt kept row crop progress slightly behind historical levels. Major sorghum heading

progress was limited to Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, but a small percentage of the crop was heading in the more

northern States of Illinois, Missouri, and Oklahoma at the beginning of July. Nationally, 29 percent of the sorghum crop

was at or beyond the coloring stage by August 2, five percentage points behind last year and slightly behind the 5-year

average. By July 12, fifty-nine percent of the peanuts had advanced to the pegging stage, slightly ahead of last year and

4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Eighty-eight percent of the peanut crop was pegging by August 2,

two percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By July 5, forty-eight percent of this

year’s cotton was at or beyond the squaring stage, 3 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the

5-year average. Nationally, 10 percent of the cotton was setting bolls by July 5, slightly behind last year and 4 percentage

points behind the 5-year average. Ninety-two percent of the Nation’s cotton was at or beyond the squaring stage by

August 2, two percentage points behind last year and the 5-year average. By August 2, bolls were setting on 57 percent of

the cotton crop, 8 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By August 2,

twenty-nine percent of the Nation’s corn crop was at or beyond the dough stage, 4 percentage points behind last year and

2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. In eleven of the eighteen major estimating States, the percentage of the

crop in the dough stage was behind the 5-year average at month’s end.

August: Average monthly temperatures were below normal across the Corn Belt and the northern Great Plains during the

month of August depriving crops of heat units as they were developing towards maturation. Small pockets in Alabama,

Florida, Iowa, and Missouri recorded rainfall levels more than 5 inches above normal during the month of August.

Overall, 70 percent of the spring wheat was reported in good to excellent condition on August 16, unchanged from

August 2 but 2 percentage points better than the same time last year. By August 30, eighty-eight percent of the spring

wheat crop was harvested, 52 percentage points ahead of last year and 26 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

By August 23, eighty-seven percent of the soybeans were at or beyond the pod setting stage, 2 percentage points behind

last year and slightly behind the 5-year average. Ninety-three percent of the Nation’s soybeans were setting pods or

beyond by August 30, slightly behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Leaf drop advanced to

9 percent complete Nationally by August 30, four percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of

the 5-year average.

September: Most of the Nation observed above-average temperatures for the month of September facilitating the

maturity and harvest of fall harvested crops in the major agricultural producing regions. The corn harvest began in most

Page 88: United States Crop Production Department of Agriculture...Jan 12, 2016  · Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) 3 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service Corn for grain

southern Corn Belt locations by the middle of the month with 5 percent of the Nation’s corn harvested by September 13,

slightly ahead of last year but 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationwide, producers had harvested

27 percent of the corn crop by October 4, eleven percentage points ahead of last year but 5 percentage points behind the

5-year average. Sugarbeet producers had harvested 44 percent of this year’s crop by October 4, seven percentage points

ahead of last year and 17 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Barley producers had harvested 95 percent of this

year’s crop by September 6, seventeen percentage points ahead of last year and 13 percentage points ahead of the 5-year

average. Ninety-seven percent of the spring wheat was harvested by September 13, twenty-five percentage points ahead of

last year and 11 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By October 4, rice producers had harvested 78 percent of

this year’s crop, 10 percentage points ahead of last year and 7 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Rice

producers achieved double-digit advances in harvest progress in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Missouri during the final

week of September. Only nine estimating States reported the planting of winter wheat during the first week of September,

with major progress limited to Colorado, Idaho, South Dakota, and Washington. By October 4, producers had sown

49 percent of the Nation’s 2016 winter wheat, 5 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the

5-year average. Nationally, 42 percent of the soybeans were harvested by October 4, twenty-three percentage points ahead

of last year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Generally dry conditions across the Midwest allowed

for the soybean harvest to advance 21 percentage points Nationwide during the final week of the month, including an

advance of 37 percentage points in North Dakota and 35 percentage points in Minnesota.

October: Above average temperatures were observed across most of the United States, including the northern

Rocky Mountains with recorded monthly average temperatures more than 6°F above normal. Large portions of the

country experienced higher than normal precipitation, including the Mid-Atlantic States, southern Great Plains, and the

southern Rocky Mountains. Monthly rainfall totals exceeded 12 inches in areas of Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, and

South Carolina during October. Texas and Louisiana rains included remnants of Hurricane Patricia, while the Carolinas

experienced a low pressure system that led to extensive flooding. Producers had seeded 88 percent of the 2016 winter

wheat crop by November 1, slightly behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall,

49 percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on November 1, ten percentage points

below the same time last year. Nationally, 85 percent of the corn was harvested by November 1, twenty-three percentage

points ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 68 percent of the corn crop was

reported in good to excellent condition on October 18, six percentage points less than the same time last year. By

November 1, ninety-two percent of the soybean crop was harvested, 11 percentage points ahead of last year and

4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 64 percent of the soybean crop was reported in good to excellent

condition on October 11, nine percentage points below the same time last year. Nationwide, half of this year’s cotton crop

was harvested by November 1, slightly ahead of last year but 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall,

47 percent of the cotton crop was rated in good to excellent condition on November 1, down slightly from the beginning

of October and slightly below the same time last year. By November 1, producers had harvested 72 percent of this year’s

peanut crop, 5 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average.

November: Temperatures were above normal in areas east of the Rocky Mountains with most of the upper Midwest and

Florida recording average temperatures more than 6°F above normal. Conversely, areas from the Intermountain Region to

the Pacific Coast experienced temperatures over 2°F below normal. Most of the Nation was within 3 inches of normal

precipitation for the month. Ninety-six percent of the Nation’s 2016 winter wheat crop was sown by November 22,

three percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As of November 29, States in

the northern Plains and Great Lakes Region generally had better condition ratings such as Montana at 73 percent good to

excellent, than southern States, like Arkansas at 40 percent in good to excellent condition. Overall, 55 percent of the

winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition, 3 percentage points below the same time last year. With

warmer-than-normal conditions in the Midwest, the Nation’s corn harvest progress remained ahead of the 5-year average

until harvest completion in mid-November. By November 15, ninety-six percent of the Nation’s corn crop was harvested,

8 percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By November 8, producers had

harvested 95 percent of this year’s soybean crop, 6 percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of

the 5-year average. Peanut producers had harvested 93 percent of the Nation’s crop by November 29, seven percentage

points behind last year and 6 percentage points behind the 5-year average. In all estimating States except South Carolina,

peanut harvest was at least 90 percent complete. Nationally, producers had harvested 80 percent of the cotton crop by

November 29, three percentage points behind last year and 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationwide,

96 percent of this year’s sugarbeet crop had been dug by November 8, slightly behind both last year and the 5-year

average.

Crop Comments

Corn: Corn for grain production in the United States is estimated at 13.6 billion bushels, down slightly from the

November forecast and down 4 percent from the record 2014 estimate. The average yield in the United States is estimated

at 168.4 bushels per acre. This is down 0.9 bushel from the November forecast and 2.6 bushels below the record 2014

average yield of 171.0 bushels per acre, but is the second highest yield on record.

Estimated yields in 2015 are up from the previous year across the northern tier corn producing States. Wet conditions

hampered yield potential in the eastern Corn Belt States. Record yields are estimated in Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Iowa,

Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Corn planted area, at 88.0 million acres, is down 3 percent from 2014. Area harvested for grain is estimated at

80.7 million acres, up slightly from the November forecast but down 3 percent from the 2014 estimate.

The 2015 corn objective yield data indicate the highest number of ears per acre on record for the combined 10 objective

yield States (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin).

Record high ear counts were recorded in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota.

Corn silage production is estimated at 127 million tons for 2015, down less than 1 percent from 2014. The United States

silage yield is estimated at 20.4 tons per acre, up 0.3 ton from 2014. Area harvested for silage is estimated at 6.22 million

acres, down 2 percent from a year ago.

States in the eastern Corn Belt began the 2015 crop year with wet planting conditions during April, while the rest of the

growing region saw favorable weather. Most States experienced improved planting conditions by the beginning of May

allowing producers across the region to plant 55 percent of this year’s corn crop by May 3, twenty-seven percentage

points ahead of last year and 17 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 17, the majority of the Nation’s

corn crop, 56 percent, had emerged, 24 percentage points ahead of 2014.

By June 14, more than 90 percent of the crop had emerged in all estimating States except Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri.

By June 21, wet conditions in the eastern Corn Belt led to worsening of corn condition ratings, which dropped

15 percentage points in the good to excellent categories in Indiana and 19 percentage points in Ohio. By June 28, wet

conditions continued to hinder States in the eastern Corn Belt which led to further deterioration of corn condition ratings,

dropping another 19 percentage points in the good to excellent categories in Ohio and 10 percentage points in Indiana.

By July 5, sunny conditions helped to ease ponding in fields in the eastern Corn Belt, boosting good to excellent ratings in

Ohio by 3 percentage points and keeping good to excellent ratings steady in Indiana. By July 19, warm weather had

accelerated corn development in the western Corn Belt, with silking advancing 39 percentage points or more during the

week in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota. By July 26, fourteen percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the

dough stage, slightly behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average.

By August 16, twenty-one percent of this year’s crop was denting, slightly ahead of last year but 7 percentage points

behind the 5-year average. Eighty-five percent of the corn was at or beyond the dough stage by August 23,

four percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Nine percent of the Nation’s crop was mature by

August 30, two percentage points ahead of last year but 6 points behind the 5-year average. Below-normal temperatures in

most of the Corn Belt slowed corn maturation, with all estimating States except Colorado, behind their respective 5-year

average.

Favorable weather conditions advanced Nationwide progress with 35 percent of the crop mature by September 13, ten

percentage points ahead of last year but 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By September 20, ninety-four

percent of the Nation's corn was at or beyond the dent stage, 5 percentage points ahead of last year and slightly ahead of

the 5-year average. By week's end, 53 percent of the corn was mature, 13 percentage points ahead of last year but

3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Generally warm conditions across the Corn Belt accelerated maturity of

the corn crop. By September 27, seventy-one percent of the corn was mature, 14 percentage points ahead of last year but

slightly behind the 5-year average. At the same time, producers had harvested 18 percent of the Nation's corn,

7 percentage points ahead of last year but 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average.

By October 11, generally dry conditions across large portions of the Corn Belt facilitated good harvest progress with

Nationwide harvest progress advancing to 42 percent complete, 19 percentage points ahead of last year but slightly behind

the 5-year average. Fifty-nine percent of this year’s corn was harvested by October 18, twenty-nine percentage points

ahead of last year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationwide, harvest progress advanced

17 percentage points during the week ending October 18. By October 25, Nationwide corn harvest progress advanced to

75 percent complete, 31 percentage points ahead of last year and 7 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Warm

weather across the Corn Belt facilitated rapid harvest progress, including an advance of 27 percentage points during the

week in North Dakota and 23 percentage points in Minnesota.

By November 15, producers had harvested 96 percent of this year’s corn crop. This was 8 percentage points ahead of last

bushels. Yield is estimated at 70.2 bushels per acre, up 2.3 bushels from the previous year, and represents a new record

high for the United States. Harvested area, at 1.28 million acres, is 23 percent above the previous year. Record low acres

were harvested in California, Indiana, South Carolina, Oregon, and Utah.

Favorable growing conditions in Minnesota this year promoted significant yield increases compared with 2014. Drought

conditions in California led to a large decline in yield from 2014. Record high yields are estimated in Colorado, Kansas,

Minnesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Utah. In early spring, planting and emergence of the oat crop was behind the

normal pace but quickly caught up due to favorable weather conditions. By April 12, producers had sown 43 percent of

the oat crop, 9 percentage points ahead of last year but 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. National planting

progress remained ahead of normal by the end of April with 71 percent of the crop planted by April 26,

In North Dakota, harvest was 97 percent complete by October 4, well ahead of the previous year and the 5-year average of

60 percent. During the season, most of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition. In Michigan, harvest was

complete by the end of October, ahead of last year's pace. Most of the bean crop was reported in good to excellent

condition. Nebraska's harvest was 96 percent complete by October 11, the same as a year earlier.

Lentils: Production of lentils is estimated at 5.28 million cwt, up 53 percent from last year. Area for harvest is estimated

at 476,000 acres, up 84 percent from the previous year. Average yield is 1,108 pounds per acre, down 223 pounds from

2014. Planted and harvested area are the second highest on record, behind only the 2010 season.

In North Dakota, planting was complete by the end of May, approximately three weeks ahead of last year. Harvest began

in early August and was complete by the last week of September, also about three weeks ahead of last season. Moisture

supplies were rated adequate to surplus throughout the season. In Idaho, Montana, and Washington high temperatures and

drought-like conditions throughout the growing season reduced yields from 2014.

Wrinkled seed peas: Production is estimated at 384,000 cwt in 2015, down 38 percent from 2014. A 52 percent decrease

in Washington production more than offset a 12 percent increase in Idaho production.

Dry edible peas: Production of dry edible peas is estimated at 18.3 million cwt, up 7 percent from last year. Planted area,

at 1,143,000 acres, and harvested area, at 1,083,500 acres, increased by 22 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Planted

and harvested acreage and production are at record high levels. Average yield is 1,687 pounds per acre, down 220 pounds

from 2014.

In Montana, planting was nearly finished by mid-May, ahead of last year’s pace. Harvest began in mid-July and was

finishing up by late August. The crop was rated mostly fair to good throughout the season. In North Dakota, harvest began

in early August and wrapped up by early September. Excessive heat and dry conditions reduced yields in Idaho, Montana,

Oregon, and Washington from 2014.

Austrian winter peas: Planted area of Austrian winter peas is estimated at 34,000 acres, up 42 percent from a year ago.

Area harvested is expected to total 21,000 acres, up 25 percent from 2014. Yield, at 1,238 pounds per acre, is down

143 pounds from a year ago. Production increased 12 percent from last season.

All potatoes: Total 2015 United States potato production is estimated at 440 million cwt, slightly below the 2014 crop.

Harvested area, at 1.05 million acres, is up slightly from last year. The average yield, at 418 cwt per acre, is down 3 cwt

from last year.

Spring potatoes: Production for 2015 is estimated at 20.3 million cwt, up 1 percent from the May 1 forecast but down

10 percent from 2014. Harvested area totaled 68,500 acres, up 4 percent from the previous forecast but down 4 percent

from a year ago. The average yield of 296 cwt per acre is down 8 cwt from the May 1 forecast and down 22 cwt from

2014.

Summer potatoes: Production of summer potatoes is estimated at 15.7 million cwt, down 1 percent from 2014. Harvested

area is estimated at 47,100 acres, 4 percent below last year. Average yield is estimated at 334 cwt per acre, up 10 cwt from

2014.

Fall potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2015 is estimated at 405 million cwt, down 1 percent from the November

forecast but up slightly from last year. Area harvested, at 937,700 acres, is down 1 percent from the November forecast

but up 1 percent from last year. The average yield is estimated at 431 cwt per acre, down 1 cwt from the November

forecast and down 3 cwt from last year’s yield.

Idaho’s 2015 potential potato yields were reduced by summer heat, particularly in eastern areas of the State. All varieties

were adversely affected by the heat, but Russet Burbanks in particular. Late blight was a problem in parts of the State as

well. Summer heat also negatively impacted Washington’s potato yield and quality.

Sweet potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2015 is estimated at 31.0 million cwt, up 5 percent from last year.

Growers harvested 153,100 acres, up 13 percent from last year. Yield per acre, at 203 cwt, is down 16 cwt from last year.

In North Carolina, the growing season was hot and dry with limited rainfall which reduced overall yields. Mississippi

growers were hindered by excessive rains during planting and then drought during the summer. In California, acreage

remained stable as growers were faced with water shortages.

Peppermint oil: Production in 2015 is estimated at 5.88 million pounds, up 3 percent from last year. Harvested area is

estimated at 65,200 acres, up 3 percent from 2014. Average yield is estimated at 90 pounds of oil per acre, the same as a

year ago.

Spearmint oil: Production is estimated at 3.07 million pounds for 2015, up 10 percent from last year. Harvested area is

estimated at 27,200 acres, up 2,800 acres from a year ago. Average yield is estimated at 113 pounds of oil per acre, down

1 pound from last year.

Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2015 totaled 78.8 million pounds, up 11 percent from the

2014 crop of 71.0 million pounds. Production increased in all three States: 30 percent in Oregon, 26 percent in Idaho, and

6 percent in Washington. Acreage increased in all three States: 22 percent in Oregon, 30 percent in Idaho, and 11 percent

in Washington. The United States yield, at 1,807 pounds per acre, decreased 61 pounds from a year ago. These are the

highest acres harvested and production on record in Idaho going back to 1944 and the highest acres harvested on record in

Washington going back to 1915.

Washington growers produced 75 percent of the United States hop crop in 2015. Cascade, Zeus, Simcoe, Centennial, and

Columbus/Tomahawk were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 52 percent of the State’s hop crop. In

Oregon, Nugget and Cascade were the major varieties, accounting for 47 percent of the State’s hop production. In Idaho,

Zeus, Cascade, and Chinook were the major varieties, accounting for 44 percent of the State’s hop production.

The preliminary 2015 value of production of the United States hop crop is $345 million, up 33 percent from the revised

2014 value of $261 million. In 2015, growers reported receiving record high prices both in Washington and at the national

level. The increased value can be attributed to higher production and hop production shifting from Alpha varieties to

Aroma varieties that are higher in value. Increased demand from the craft brewing sector has also led to higher prices for

hops.

Maple syrup: The 2015 United States maple syrup production totaled 3.41 million gallons, up 6 percent from the

previous year. The number of taps is estimated at 11.9 million, up 4 percent from the 2014 total. Yield per tap is estimated

to be 0.287 gallons, up 2 percent from the previous season’s yield. All States, with the exception of Ohio, showed an

increase in production from the previous year.

Taro: Hawaii taro production for the 2015 crop year is 3.50 million pounds, up 8 percent from the previous year.

Harvested area at 340 acres, is down 20 acres from 2014. Yield for 2015 is 10,300 pounds per acre, up 1,300 pounds per

acre from last year. Adequate moisture had a positive effect on overall production.

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

83,000 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 2015 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 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 1.1 for corn, 2.4 for Upland cotton and 1.0 for soybeans. This means that chances are approximately 95 out

of 100 that survey estimates for production will be within plus or minus 2.2 percent for corn, 4.8 percent for Upland

cotton, and 2.0 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.
