Crop Production 2017 Summary (January 2018)
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: 2015-2017
[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]

Potato Objective Yield Data
The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in seven fall potato-producing States
during 2017. Sample plots were located in potato fields randomly selected using a scientifically designed sampling
procedure. Field workers recorded counts and measurements within the field and then harvested six hills per sample.
Potatoes were sent to laboratories for sizing and grading according to accepted United States fresh grading standards. Data
in these tables are rounded actual field counts from this survey.

USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

2017 Annual Weather Summary
Highlights: An extremely active Atlantic hurricane season brought an unprecedented three Category 4 storms in less than
a month to various parts of the country. Prior to 2017, the last major (Category 3 or higher) hurricane to strike the
United States was Wilma in southern Florida on October 24, 2005. Hurricanes Harvey and Irma caused great devastation
in Texas (starting August 25) and Florida (starting September 10), respectively. Harvey’s damage was mostly caused by
epic flooding from Houston to Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas, and all areas in between, and well as southwestern
Louisiana. However, high winds from Harvey battered the central Texas coast, damaging cotton and farm infrastructure.
Other agricultural damage related to Harvey included drowned livestock and submerged rice fields. Little more than
2 weeks later, on September 10, Irma struck the Florida Keys before reaching the mainland near Marco Island. High
winds and heavy rain spread northward throughout Florida’s peninsula and into other parts of the Southeast, causing
damage to citrus, sugarcane, vegetables, timber, pecans, row crops, nursery crops, and farm fences and buildings. Some
farms were damaged by both wind and flooding, and some southern Atlantic coastal areas were affected by a large storm
surge and salt-water intrusion. Florida also suffered widespread and extensive power outages in Irma’s wake.
Before reaching the Southeast, Irma had ripped through a string of Caribbean islands, including the northern
U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Thomas and St. John. Then, on September 20, Hurricane Maria hit the other major
U.S. Virgin Island of St. Croix before making a direct strike on Puerto Rico as a high-end Category 4 storm. In the
storms’ wake, the electrical grid was almost completely destroyed in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and many
areas reported catastrophic damage to homes and farms. By early 2018, power on the U.S. Virgin Islands was more than
90 percent restored, but the Puerto Rican power grid was carrying only 80 percent of its pre-storm electrical load.
Although the 2017 growing season was “imperfect” across the Midwest, largely due to erratic rainfall, a lack of extreme
heat helped to boost the Nation’s corn yield to its highest level on record—slightly above 2016. The Nation’s soybean
yield was down about 6 percent form 2016, but production reached a record level in part due to record-high acreage. In
stark contrast, a punishing drought developed by late spring and lasted through the remainder of the year across the
Northern Plains, harming spring-sown small grains and severely stressing rangeland and pastures. Spring wheat yield was
down about 13 percent from last year, while Durum wheat yield was down nearly 42 percent. The Northern Plain’s
drought later spread to parts of the Northwest, contributing to an extremely active wildfire season. Northwestern fires,
which led to smoky conditions and poor air quality for long periods of time, helped to push the Nation’s annual wildfire
acreage into near-record territory. Based on preliminary reports, nearly 10 million acres of vegetation burned in 2017,
compared to a record-high 10.1 million acres in 2015 and 9.9 million acres in 2006. In California, the fire season never
really ended, as massive outbreaks struck Napa and environs in October and several coastal southern counties in
December. Much earlier, fast-moving March grassfires had devastated numerous farms and ranches on the Central and
Southern High Plains. And, before that, a truly impressive Western winter wet season had virtually erased multi-year
precipitation deficits, including much of California’s 4-year drought. However, the precipitation, which significantly
improved Western water-supply prospects, also resulted in the February near-failure of northern California’s
Oroville Dam and contributed to grass and brush growth that later helped to fuel numerous large wildfires.
Late in the year, the return of La Niña contributed to drought development or expansion across the southern half of the
United States. Across the Central and Southern Plains, developing drought late in the year was a concern with respect to
poorly established winter wheat, especially when bitterly cold weather arrived in late December. During 2016, drought
coverage in the contiguous United States ranged from a U.S. Drought Monitor-era record low of 4.5 percent on May 23 to
26.4 percent on December 26.
Winter 2016-17: La Niña quickly faded, disappearing altogether by winter’s end. However, a pool of cool water persisted
over the northeastern Pacific Ocean, possibly contributing to an active Pacific jet stream that led to the Nation’s wettest
December-February period since 1997-98. And, despite a few sharp, short-lived cold snaps, general winter warmth
dominated all but the Nation’s northwestern corner. The warmth intensified as winter progressed, culminating in the
Nation’s warmest February since 1954.
Aside from fleeting Arctic outbreaks in mid-December and early January, cold weather was largely confined to the
Northwest. (The persistent Northwestern chill, accompanied by periods of precipitation, resulted in winter hardship for
livestock and wildlife, as well as damage to some storage facilities due to heavy snow loads.) Across the Plains and
110
Crop Production 2017 Summary (January 2018)

Midwest, enough snow preceded the two cold snaps in most areas to limit concerns about adverse impacts on
winter wheat. In fact, across the Central and Southern Plains, drought rather than cold was a greater concern with respect
to wheat. Between the end of November and the end of February, the portion of the winter wheat crop rated very poor to
poor increased from 15 to 27 percent in Colorado; 13 to 21 percent in Kansas; 16 to 20 percent in Texas; and 12 to
15 percent in Oklahoma.
Wetness across the northern and western United States highlighted an overall stormy winter, although many storms
bypassed the Mid-South and the Mid-Atlantic. Winter precipitation was particularly impressive from northern and central
California to the northern Intermountain West. In fact, flooding developed on both sides of the Sierra Nevada crest in
early January, followed by extensive flooding and flood-control efforts during February in parts of California.
According to the Drought Monitor, drought covered just 14.1 percent of the country by the end of February, down from
31.5 percent on November 29, 2016. Most of the drought eradication occurred in the West, including California, which
experienced a winter decline in drought coverage from 73 to 9 percent. In contrast, winter precipitation was insufficient to
erase drought from the southern Appalachians to southern New England, while pockets of drought developed, persisted or
intensified from the Central and Southern Plains into the middle Mississippi Valley.
Spring: Active weather led to a net decrease in the Nation’s drought coverage, as widespread, frequent storm systems
bypassed only a few areas, such as the Northern Plains and the lower Southeast. However, an extended period of
well-placed storms ended in late April, when too much rain in a short period of time across the Mid-South and
lower Midwest caused extensive planting delays and lowland flooding.
Other spring highlights included a variety of weather extremes. In March, for example, significant events included
early month wildfires on the Central and Southern Plains and mid-month freezes in the Southeast. The Southeastern
freezes followed a mid-March Northeastern blizzard. Several weeks later, in late April, an historic, late-season snow
storm on the Central and Southern High Plains flattened winter wheat and resulted in noteworthy livestock losses.
Meanwhile, an impressive Western snow-accumulation season finally peaked in April, following a final flurry of storms.
The early part of the snow-melt season proceeded mostly in an orderly fashion, although periods of warm and/or wet
weather led to localized lowland flooding. Lingering effects from the wet winter and early spring included planting and
crop developmental delays, especially in California and the Northwest. Drought covered just 4.5 percent of the country—a
U.S. Drought Monitor-era record low—by May 23, down from a March peak of 16 percent. The record-low drought
coverage occurred on the strength of late-spring rainfall in the Southeast, and in spite of emerging drought on the
Northern Plains.
Summer: One of the biggest weather events of the summer—the arrival and persistence of Hurricane Harvey along the
Texas coast—unfolded in the final days of the season. Harvey caused flooding on a massive scale in late August from
Houston, Texas, to southwestern Louisiana, setting rainfall and crest records across a vast area. Other summer highlights
included persistent Western heat; a fast-developing and hard-hitting drought on the Northern Plains; and a Midwestern
growing season that featured mostly favorable temperatures but erratic rainfall.
The Western heat contributed to a large number of wildfires, which seasonally shifted from the Southwest to California
and the Northwest as the summer progressed. Other contributing factors to Western wildfires included an abundance of
light fuels (e.g. grass and brush), cured by summer heat in the wake of a wet winter, as well as 6.3 billion standing dead
trees, according to the U.S. Forest Service. During the mid- to late-summer period, stagnant air (due to a ridge of high
pressure) helped to trap smoke from western North American wildfires near the earth’s surface. Reductions in visibility
and air quality due to smoke and haze were especially prominent and persistent in the Northwest.
Meanwhile, extremely dry conditions on the Northern High Plains were accompanied by periods of heat. Agricultural
casualties included rangeland, pastures, and spring wheat—arguably the region’s worst drought since 1988. The rapid
drought expansion across the Northern Plains—and later the Northwest—boosted the Nation’s drought coverage to
13.54 percent by September 5. By summer’s end, extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) cloaked 44 percent of
Montana and portions of the western Dakotas.

Autumn: La Niña’s influence on North American weather patterns became more obvious and profound as autumn
progressed. Most notably, a marked drying trend developed across much of the southern United States. For some areas,
including coastal Texas and peninsular Florida, the sudden dryness followed historic, hurricane-related rainfall.
Meanwhile, autumn warmth accompanied the dryness, especially in the Southwest.
During the first few weeks of autumn, however, hurricanes dominated the weather headlines. In the western Gulf Coast
region, recovery from Hurricane Harvey’s record-setting downpours was just getting underway as September began. Days
later, Hurricane Irma ripped through a string of Caribbean islands, including the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Thomas and
St. John, before taking aim on Florida and other parts of the southeastern United States. Finally, Hurricane Maria spared
the mainland United States but devastated Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Island of St. Croix.
Farther west, some of the Plains’ winter wheat experienced unfavorable autumn weather, resulting in poor crop
establishment. Weather-related concerns with respect to wheat included lingering drought on the Northern Plains and
late autumn warmth and dryness across the Central and Southern Plains. Meanwhile, the corn harvest ended late in
portions of the Midwest, in part due late crop maturation but also because of occasional rain-related delays.
Elsewhere, generally wet autumn weather in the Northwest contrasted with warm, mostly dry conditions in the Southwest.
Northern California, with abundant light fuels (e.g. cured grasses and brush) and heavy fuels (e.g. dead or dying trees),
experienced devastating October wildfires—but later received some much-needed rain and high-elevation snow. A new
round of fires in southern California began in early December, days after the official end of meteorological autumn.
Only 6 months after drought covered just 4.5 percent of the contiguous United States, coverage expanded to 21.1 percent
by November 28. La Niña’s influence in drying out much of the southern United States accounted for much of the drought
development.
December: Raging wildfires in southern California and a late-month cold wave east of the Rockies highlighted a
La Niña-driven weather regime. La Niña also likely contributed to a broad expanse of drier-than-normal conditions, as
well as unusually warm weather across the Nation’s southwestern quadrant.
A few areas, however, received significant December precipitation. Wet (or snowy) regions included the northern
High Plains and areas downwind of the Great Lakes. After mid-month, a pair of heavy precipitation events across the
interior Southeast eased drought and generally benefited winter grains and cover crops.
In advance of bitterly cold conditions, snow cover increased from less than one-quarter to nearly half of the country
between December 20 and 25. Most of the gain in snow coverage occurred across the northern half of the United States,
providing highly beneficial insulation for Northwestern and Midwestern winter wheat, as well as wheat on the Plains from
Nebraska northward. (Earlier in the month, from December 7-9, a rare, early-season snow storm had blanketed the
Deep South from southern Texas to the southern Appalachians.)
In contrast, winter wheat across the southern half of the Plains—already poorly established and stressed by developing
drought—was left exposed. And, as very cold air arrived late in the month, concerns mounted with regard to the health of
the Southern Plains’ wheat.
2017 Annual Crop Summary
April: Temperatures were above normal across most of the United States during the month of April. Monthly average
temperatures were generally more than 2°F above normal east of the Great Plains with the Ohio Valley and the majority
of the Southeast averaging more than 4°F above normal. The major exception to this trend was the Northwest where April
average temperatures were mostly below normal. Precipitation levels were above normal across most of the Nation with
notable rainfall totals reported across the northern Pacific Coast, South Central United States, and Mid-Atlantic States for
the month. Parts of the lower Mississippi Valley and Washington recorded over 16 inches of precipitation during the
month. In the eastern Plains, cold temperatures and measurable snowfall were reported during the last week of April. By
April 9, producers had planted 3 percent of the Nation's corn crop, slightly behind the previous year but equal to the
5-year average. Producers had planted 34 percent of the 2017 corn crop by April 30, nine percentage points behind the

previous year but equal to the 5-year average. Planting progress was well ahead of historical averages in most of the
eastern Corn Belt States. Cotton producers had planted 14 percent of the cotton crop by April 30, slightly behind the
previous year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Producers in Texas, the largest cotton producing State,
had planted 13 percent of the crop by the end of the month, 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
May: Most of the United States recorded below average temperatures for the month of May, with the only major
exceptions in parts of the West and Southeast. Portions of the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley recorded average
temperatures more than 2°F below normal. Wet weather in early May hampered spring fieldwork across much of the
eastern United States. The western half of the Nation was relatively dry throughout the month. In late May, dry conditions
prevailed across the West and Corn Belt allowing for more days of fieldwork but adversely impacted some crop
conditions in the Northern Plains. By May 14, seventy-one percent of the 2017 corn crop was planted, 2 percentage points
behind the previous year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Thirty-one percent of the Nation's corn crop had
emerged by May 14, ten percentage points behind the previous year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
Nationally, 33 percent of the cotton crop was planted by May 14, five percentage points behind the previous year and
4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Producers had planted 32 percent of the 2017 sorghum crop by May 14,
slightly behind the previous year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By May 14, seventy-eight percent of
the barley crop was seeded, 10 percentage points behind the previous year and slightly behind the 5-year average. By
May 28, sixty-seven percent of the Nation's soybean crop was planted, 4 percentage points behind the previous year and
slightly behind the 5-year average. Ninety-six percent of the Nation's spring wheat crop was seeded by May 28,
2 percentage points behind the previous year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
June: Average monthly temperatures were generally above normal across the western United States with areas in the
Southwest recording average temperatures more than 4°F above normal in June. From the Delta to the lower Atlantic
Coast, average temperatures were lower than normal for the month. Drier than normal weather prevailed in areas west of
the Mississippi Valley during the month. Drought levels expanded across the northern Great Plains, deteriorating crop and
pasture conditions in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Elsewhere, areas along the Gulf Coast recorded more
than 15 inches of precipitation during the month. In late June, Tropical Storm Cindy and its remnants brought significant
delays to fieldwork in Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. The planting of the 2017 corn crop was mostly complete
across the United States by June 4 with 96 percent planted, slightly behind both the previous year and the 5-year average.
Over 90 percent of the corn crop was emerged in all estimating States except Pennsylvania by June 18.
Eighty-three percent of the Nation's soybean crop was planted by June 4, slightly ahead of the previous year and
4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 58 percent of the soybean crop had emerged by June 4,
four percentage points behind the previous year and slightly behind the 5-year average. By June 4, ninety-nine percent of
the barley crop was seeded, slightly behind the previous year but 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Nationwide, 97 percent of the barley crop had emerged by June 18, slightly behind the previous year but slightly ahead of
the 5-year average. Peanut planting advanced to 91 percent complete by June 4, two percentage points ahead of both the
previous year and the 5-year average. The Nation's spring wheat was 90 percent emerged by June 4, five percentage points
behind the previous year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Ninety-eight percent of the rice crop had
emerged by June 18, two percentage points behind both the previous year and the 5-year average. Nationally, 98 percent
of the cotton crop was planted by June 25, equal to the previous year but slightly behind the 5-year average. By June 25,
ninety-five percent of the Nation's sorghum was planted, slightly ahead of the previous year and 2 percentage point ahead
of the 5-year average.
July: Warmer than normal temperatures blanketed the United States during July. Monthly average temperatures of more
than 4°F above normal were recorded across the northern Plains and portions of the Pacific Northwest and California.
Conversely, slightly cooler than normal weather settled in portions of the Great Lakes and New England. Precipitation
was scattered throughout much of the Nation, with the largest accumulations more evident in the eastern United States. A
band stretching from the eastern Corn Belt to the Mid-Atlantic States had areas recording precipitation over 4 inches
above normal for the month. Drought intensity continued to grow across the upper Missouri Valley with crop conditions
decreasing in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota throughout July. Nationally, 98 percent of the United States
soybean crop had emerged by July 2, equal to the previous year but 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By
July 30, eighty-two percent of the 2017 soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage, 2 percentage points behind the
previous year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 2, fifty-nine percent of the spring wheat crop
was at or beyond the heading stage, 12 percentage points behind the previous year but 5 percentage points ahead of the

5-year average. Heading of this year's oat crop advanced to 85 percent complete by July 2, six percentage points behind
the previous year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Heading of the Nation's barley crop advanced to 51 percent
complete by July 2, nineteen percentage points behind the previous year and 6 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Thirty-three percent of the 2017 rice crop was at or beyond the heading stage by July 16, six percentage points
behind the previous year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 87 percent of the cotton was at or beyond
the squaring stage by July 30, four percentage points behind both the previous year and the 5-year average. By July 30,
bolls were setting on 46 percent of the Nation's crop, 7 percentage points behind both the previous year and the 5-year
average. Eighty-five percent of the corn was at or beyond the silking stage by July 30, four percentage points behind the
previous year but equal to the 5-year average. By July 30, forty-nine percent of the Nation's sorghum was at or beyond the
heading stage, 10 percentage points behind the previous year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average
Eighty-seven percent of the peanut crop was pegging by July 30, slightly behind the previous year but slightly ahead of
the 5-year average
August: Nearly all areas in the central and northeastern United States recorded below-average temperatures for the month
of August. A majority of the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley recorded average temperatures for the month more than
4°F below normal. Conversely, above-average temperatures were recorded west of the Rocky Mountains. Most areas in
the western Corn Belt, southern Plains, and lower Mississippi Valley had precipitation totals above normal levels.
Hurricane Harvey brought heavy rain to eastern Texas and western Louisiana late in the month causing major flooding.
The storm then traveled across the Mississippi Delta into the Ohio Valley triggering a decline in crop conditions in some
States. By August 13, ninety-seven percent of the corn was at or beyond the silking stage, two percentage points behind
the previous year and slightly behind the 5-year average. Nationally, 61 percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the
dough stage by August 13, nine percentage points behind the previous year and slightly behind the 5-year average. By
August 13, barley producers had harvested 52 percent of the 2017 crop, equal to the previous year but 12 percentage
points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 49 percent of the barley was reported in good to excellent condition on
August 13, equal to the beginning of the month but 22 percentage points below the same time in 2016. By August 20,
spring wheat producers had harvested 58 percent of the Nation's crop, 5 percentage points behind the previous year but
7 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 34 percent of the spring wheat was reported in good to excellent
condition on August 20, up 3 percentage points from July 30 but 32 percentage points lower than at the same time in
2016. Heading of the 2017 sorghum crop was 84 percent complete by August 20, four percentage points behind the
previous year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average The Nation's rice crop was 96 percent headed by
August 20, slightly behind the previous year but 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Seventy-eight percent of
the oat crop was harvested by August 20, ten percentage points behind the previous year and 5 percentage points behind
the 5-year average. By August 20, ninety-seven percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage, slightly
behind the previous year but equal to the 5-year average. Ninety-three percent of the Nation's soybeans were at or beyond
the pod setting stage by August 27, equal to the previous year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average.
Ninety-three percent of the Nation's cotton crop was at or beyond the boll setting stage by August 27,
two percentage points behind the previous year but equal to the 5-year average.
September: Most of the United States experienced above-average temperatures for the month of September with some
locations in the Corn Belt and New England recording average temperatures more than 4°F above normal. Despite warm
temperatures across major agricultural producing regions of the Nation, maturity and harvest of most fall harvested crops
remained behind normal throughout the month. Scattered areas in the northern Rockies, Southwest, and Southeast
recorded below-average temperatures for the month. Precipitation levels were variable across the Nation with some areas
of the Pacific Northwest, Great Plains, and Southeast recording more than 4 inches of total precipitation for the month. In
mid-September, Hurricane Irma brought heavy rain and winds to Florida and other southern Atlantic Coast States.
Portions of Florida received more than 16 inches of precipitation from the storm. Above-normal monthly rainfall
benefited drought areas of Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota but delayed fieldwork. Nationally, 60 percent of the
corn crop was at or beyond the dent stage by September 3, fourteen percentage points behind the previous year and
8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Fifty-one percent of the corn crop was mature by September 24,
nineteen percentage points behind the previous year and 13 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By
September 10, ninety-six percent of the barley crop was harvested, 2 percentage points ahead of the previous year and
3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Spring wheat producers had harvested 95 percent of the 2017 crop by
September 10, slightly ahead of the previous year and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Oat producers had
harvested 96 percent of the 2017 crop by September 10, four percentage points behind the previous year and slightly

behind the 5-year average. Nationally, producers had harvested 55 percent of the 2017 rice crop by September 17,
seven percentage points behind the previous year but 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Overall, 69 percent
of the rice crop was rated in good to excellent condition on September 17, compared with 71 percent on September 3, and
55 percent at the same time in 2016. Forty-one percent of the 2017 soybean crop was at or beyond the leaf dropping stage
by September 17, two percentage points behind both the previous year and the 5-year average. By September 17,
eighty-four percent of the sorghum crop was at or beyond the coloring stage, 3 percentage points behind the previous year
but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By September 24, producers had sown 24 percent of the Nation's 2018 winter
wheat acreage, 4 percentage points behind both the previous year and the 5-year average. By September 24,
fifty-seven percent of the 2017 cotton crop was at or beyond the boll opening stage, 4 percentage points behind both the
previous year and the 5-year average.
October: Cooler than normal temperatures were recorded across the Rockies and Pacific Coast during the first half of the
month. However, from October 22 until the end of the month, temperatures remained either normal or above normal, with
parts of Arizona, California, and Nevada seeing temperatures 4°F to 8°F above normal. The opposite was true for the
lower Midwest and Southeast, with warmer than average temperatures recorded during the first week, before chilling to
12°F below average across Texas, Oklahoma, and the Gulf States by month's end. For most of October, the Nation
experienced the usual amount of precipitation. Bands of rain during the first week slowed field work across the western
Corn Belt and Hurricane Nate brought rain and damaging winds to the Gulf and Eastern States. Towards the end of the
month, producers in the Midwest hurried to complete soybean and corn harvests before snow arrived. Soybean producers
had harvested 49 percent of the Nation's crop by October 15, ten percentage points behind the previous year and
11 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Overall, 61 percent of the soybean crop was reported in good to excellent
condition on October 15, thirteen percentage points lower than at the same time in 2016. By October 15, fifty-one percent
of the Nation's peanut crop was harvested, slightly behind the previous year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year
average. Overall, 70 percent of the peanut crop was reported in good to excellent condition on October 15,
fourteen percentage points better than at the same time in 2016. By October 22, ninety-eight percent of the rice crop was
harvested, 2 percentage points ahead of the previous year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Fifty-four percent of the 2017 corn crop was harvested by October 29, still well behind the previous year's 73 percent and
the 5-year average of 72 percent. Overall, 66 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition as of
October 29, eight percentage points below the same time in 2016. Sorghum producers had harvested 59 percent of the
crop by October 29, sixteen percentage points behind the previous year and 10 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Producers had sown 84 percent of the 2018 winter wheat crop by October 29, slightly behind the previous year
and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationally, producers had harvested 46 percent of the cotton crop by
October 29, slightly ahead of both the previous year and the 5-year average. Overall, 55 percent of the cotton crop was
reported in good to excellent condition as of October 29, six percentage points above the same time in 2016. Producers
had harvested 87 percent of the sugarbeet crop by October 29, two percentage points ahead of the previous year and
slightly ahead of the 5-year average.
November: November's precipitation was higher than average around the Great Lakes, northern Rockies, and Pacific
Northwest. The southern half of the Nation experienced drier than average weather, especially in parts of Texas, the Delta
States, and the Southern Atlantic States. Despite heavy precipitation in the western half of the State, the northeastern part
of Montana remained in an extreme drought for the month. Temperatures were fairly normal for most of the Nation during
November, with most regions being within 2°F of average. The Rockies were the exception, with nearly all of Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and parts of Wyoming being 6°F to 8°F warmer than usual. The lack of extreme weather
allowed for good working conditions, helping producers complete row crop harvest. Ninety-five percent of the 2018
winter wheat crop was sown by November 12, slightly ahead of the previous year, but equal to the 5-year average.
Nationally, winter wheat emergence had advanced to 84 percent complete by November 12, slightly ahead of both the
previous year and the 5-year average. Fifty percent of the 2018 winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent
condition for the week ending November 26, compared with 58 percent rated in these two categories during the same
week in 2016. By November 12, ninety-seven percent of the Nation's sugarbeet crop was harvested, 4 percentage points
ahead of the previous year, but equal to the 5-year average. Producers had harvested 96 percent of the soybean acreage by
November 19, two percentage points behind the previous year and slightly behind the 5-year average. Producers had
harvested 95 percent of the 2017 peanut acreage by November 19, equal to both the previous year and the 5-year average.
Ninety-five percent of the 2017 corn crop was harvested by November 26, three percentage points behind both the
previous year and the 5-year average. By November 26, ninety-five percent of the 2017 sorghum crop was harvested,

slightly behind both the previous year and the 5-year average. By November 26, winter wheat emergence was 92 percent
complete, equal to both the previous year and the 5-year average. Producers had harvested 79 percent of the cotton crop
by November 26, three percentage points ahead of the previous year, but slightly behind the 5-year average. By November
26, ninety-three percent of the 2017 sunflower crop was harvested, four percentage points behind the previous year, but
equal to the 5-year average.
Crop Comments
Corn: Corn for grain production in the United States is estimated at 14.6 billion bushels, down 4 percent from the 2016
estimate. The average yield in the United States is estimated at a record 176.6 bushels per acre, 2.0 bushels above the
2016 average yield of 174.6 bushels per acre.
Estimated yields in 2017 are up from the previous year across most of the Corn Belt. Record yields are estimated in
Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
Corn planted area, at 90.2 million acres, was down 4 percent from 2016. Area harvested for grain was estimated at
82.7 million acres, down 5 percent from the 2016 estimate.
The 2017 corn objective yield data indicated the third 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 South Dakota.
Corn silage production was estimated at 128 million tons for 2017, up 2 percent from 2016. The United States silage yield
was estimated at 19.9 tons per acre, down 0.4 ton from 2016. Area harvested for silage was estimated at 6.43 million
acres, up 4 percent from a year ago.
Wet weather hampered planting progress through much of the Corn Belt in April. Planting continued between storms
allowing producers to plant 34 percent of this year’s corn crop by April 30, nine percentage points behind the previous
year but equal to the 5-year average. Planting progress was well ahead of historical averages in most of the eastern Corn

adequate growing conditions. Record high yields were estimated in Connecticut, Idaho, Nevada, and Vermont.
Forage: In 2017, seventeen States were included in the forage estimation program, which measures annual production of
forage crops. Haylage and greenchop production was converted to 13 percent moisture and combined with dry hay
production to derive the total forage production. The total 2017 all haylage and greenchop production for the 17 States in
the forage program was 30.5 million tons, of which 20.0 million tons were from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. The 17 State
total for all forage production was 86.7 million tons. Of this total, 44.0 million tons were produced from alfalfa and alfalfa
mixtures.
New seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Growers seeded 2.21 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during
2017, down 3 percent from 2016. The new seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures will normally be harvested for the first

eleven percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the dropping leaves stage, equal to the previous year but slightly
behind the 5-year average.
As of October 1, eighty percent of the United States soybean crop was dropping leaves or beyond, slightly behind the
previous year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Despite soybeans dropping leaves being ahead of the
5-year average by the end of September, harvest progress was not as far along. Overall, harvest was 22 percent complete
as of October 1, two percentage points behind the previous year and four percentage points behind the 5-year average. At
that time, harvest progress was at or behind the State 5-year average in 8 of the 18 estimating States. As of October 1,
sixty percent of the Nation's soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 14 percentage points below the same
week in 2016. By October 15, the soybean crop was 49 percent harvested, 10 percentage points behind the previous year
and 11 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As of October 29, harvest was 83 percent complete Nationwide,
2 percentage points behind the previous year and slightly behind the 5-year average. At the end of October, harvest
progress was ahead of the State 5-year average in Arkansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota.
Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2017 totaled 3.84 million bushels, down 56 percent from the previous year. Harvested
area totaled 272,000 acres in 2017, down 26 percent from the previous year. Harvested acreage in North Dakota, the
largest flaxseed-producing State, was estimated at 229,000 acres, down 30 percent from 2016. The average United States
yield for 2017, at 14.1 bushels per acre, was down 9.6 bushels from 2016 and represented the lowest United States yield
since 1989. Hot and dry weather during the growing season negatively impacted yields in Montana, North Dakota, and
South Dakota.
Safflower: Production of safflower in 2017, at 180 million pounds, was down 18 percent from 2016 and was the third
lowest production since records began in 1991. Growers planted 162,000 acres in 2017, an increase of 1 percent from
2016. Harvested area, at 143,200 acres, was down 6 percent from the previous year. Average yield, at 1,256 pounds per
acre, declined 176 pounds from 2016.
Other Oilseeds: Mustard seed production for 2017 declined 37 percent from the previous year to 60.3 million pounds.
However, this represents the second largest production since 2003 for the Nation. Planted area, at 103,000 acres, was
down just 100 acres from 2016. Harvested area, at 95,400 acres, was down 3 percent, or 2,800 acres, from last year.
Planted and harvested acreage represented the fourth and fifth highest area for the Nation, respectively, since records
began in 1991. The average yield, at 632 pounds per acre, was 348 pounds below the 2016 average yield and was the
fourth lowest yield on record.
Rapeseed production was estimated at a record high 20.8 million pounds, up 7 percent from last year’s production level.
Growers planted 10,100 acres of rapeseed in 2017, a decline of 900 acres from 2016. Harvested area, at 9,700 acres, was
down 800 acres from last year. Planted and harvested area in the United States represented the fourth and third highest on
record, respectively, since records began in 1991. The average yield in 2017 was 2,139 pounds per acre, an increase of
299 pounds from 2016 and the second highest yield on record for the Nation.
Cotton: Upland cotton production was estimated at 20.6 million 480-pound bales, up 24 percent from the previous year.
The United States yield for Upland cotton is estimated at 889 pounds per acre, up 34 pounds from 2016. Upland planted
area, estimated at 12.4 million acres, was up 25 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 11.1 million acres, was up
19 percent from the previous year. Record high Upland production is estimated in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Record
Upland yields were estimated in Arkansas and Missouri.
In the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia), planting was
completed by end of June. With frequent rainfall and extreme heat over the summer, there were many reports of disease
and insect pressure in cotton fields; however, farmers were diligent about spraying and kept the negative effects to a
minimum. Winds from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma caused some damage to cotton in September, resulting in some yield
losses and also delays in harvesting the crop. Drier weather developed toward the end of the growing season, but the crop
remained in mostly good to excellent condition allowing harvest to continue on pace.

In the Delta region, planting was complete by mid-June. The summer months of June and July brought hot, dry conditions
throughout the region which allowed the crop to mature ahead of normal in Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, and
Missouri. With the advanced crop, harvest was underway in mid-September in Mississippi and Louisiana. By early
October, harvest was in full swing in the region and was complete by late November.
Texas growers began the planting season at an above average pace. Early rains were followed by drier conditions and
warm temperatures during the growing season, making it ideal for cotton growth in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. In
Texas, the favorable weather conditions in spring and summer, prior to Hurricane Harvey, was beneficial to crop
development. In the early part of September, the Upper Coast and South East Texas were still experiencing the lingering
effects of Hurricane Harvey with significant rainfall resulting in extensive flooding in many areas. The rest of the State
received little to no rain, with the exception of areas in the Edwards Plateau, South Texas, and the Lower Valley. During
the latter part of the month, conditions remained in mostly fair to excellent condition. The cotton crop in Kansas and
Oklahoma was also rated mostly fair to excellent condition throughout the growing season and with an increase in acres
for 2017, record production was estimated for Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas.
American Pima producers planted 251,500 acres in 2017, up 29 percent from 2016. Harvested area, at 247,900 acres, was
up 32 percent from the previous year. Production was estimated at 693,000 bales (480-pound), up 22 percent from 2016.
The United States yield is estimated at 1,342 pounds per acre, down 112 pounds from the previous year.

same date last year.
Cottonseed: Production for 2017, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 6.73 million tons, up
25 percent from last year.
Tobacco: United States all tobacco production for 2017 was estimated at 710 million pounds, up 13 percent from the
previous year. Growers harvested 321,470 acres, up 1 percent from a year earlier. Yield per acre averaged 2,209 pounds,
up 242 pounds per acre from 2016.
Flue-cured tobacco production was estimated at 461 million pounds, up 7 percent from the previous year. Harvested acres
totaled 209,500 in 2017, two percent below a year earlier. Yields averaged 2,199 pounds per acre, up 178 pounds from
2016. North Carolina growers reported transplanting started early and rain caused some delays resulting in a mix of an
early and late crop.
Burley production totaled 161 million pounds, up 15 percent from the previous year. Growers harvested 81,500 acres, up
2 percent from 2016. Reported yields averaged 1,977 pounds per acre, up 230 pounds from a year earlier. Kentucky
growers reported tobacco quality was much better than the previous year.
Sugarbeets: Production for 2017 was estimated at 35.3 million tons, down 4 percent from the previous year’s revised
production. Growers in the 11 major sugarbeet-producing States planted 1.13 million acres, down 3 percent from the 2016
revised area. Harvested area, at 1.11 million acres, was down 1 percent from the previous year. Estimated yield, at
31.7 tons per acre, was down 1.1 tons from last year.

Crop Production 2017 Summary (January 2018)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
In North Dakota, planting was virtually complete by mid-June and harvest neared completion by October 22. In Michigan,
good spring rains gave way to hot, dry summer conditions. However, the crop exceeded many growers’ expectations. In
Idaho and Montana, abnormally dry conditions reduced crop yields.
Lentils: Production of lentils was estimated at 7.48 million cwt, down 42 percent from the previous year’s record high
level. Planted area, at 1.10 million acres, was up 18 percent from a year earlier, while harvested acreage, at 1.02 million
acres, was up 13 percent from 2016. Planted and harvested area were at record highs in Montana and the United States.
Average yield was 732 pounds per acre, down 682 pounds from 2016 and the lowest since records began in 1986. Yields
were down from a year earlier in all four program States: Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Washington.
In Montana, harvest began in mid-July with 95 percent harvested by August 20. Drought-like conditions persisted
throughout much of the growing season with 97 percent of the topsoil moisture rated very short to short as of
September 3. Yield was at the lowest level since 2006. In North Dakota, harvest began in early August and was 66 percent
complete by September 3. As with Montana, a severe drought negatively impacted the crop with average yield at the
lowest level since records began in 1998.
Wrinkled seed peas: Production was estimated at 357,000 cwt in 2017, down 19 percent from 2016. Washington
production decreased by 12 percent, while Idaho decreased 31 percent from a year ago.
Dry edible peas: Production of dry edible peas was estimated at 14.2 million cwt, down 49 percent from the previous
year. Planted area, at 1.13 million acres, and harvested area, at 1.05 million acres, decreased by 18 percent and 21 percent,
respectively. Average United States yield, at 1,350 pounds per acre, was down 736 pounds from 2016 and the lowest level
since 1996.
In Montana, drought conditions reduced yields and by late July the crop was rated mostly poor to fair. Producers began
harvesting in early July and harvest was 98 percent complete by September 3. Estimated yield was at the lowest level
since 2002. In North Dakota, harvest started in late July and was complete by early September. Crop condition was rated
mostly fair to good during the beginning of the growing season but finished ranging from very poor to fair due to the
drought. Harvest began in mid-July and was 92 percent complete by September 3.
Austrian winter peas: United States Austrian winter pea production was forecast at 125,000 cwt, down 73 percent from
the previous year, and at the lowest level since 2008. Planted area was estimated at 26,500 acres, down 28 percent from a
year earlier. Area harvested totaled 9,400 acres, down 65 percent from 2016. United States yield, at 1,330 pounds per
acre, was down 370 pounds from a year earlier. In Montana, producers reported record low yields, primarily caused by
drought-like conditions.
All potatoes: Total 2017 United States potato production was estimated at 441 million cwt, slightly below the 2016 crop.
Harvested area, at 1.03 million acres, was up 1 percent from the previous year. The average yield, at 430 cwt per acre, was
down 3 cwt from the previous year.
Spring potatoes: Production for 2017 was estimated at 19.8 million cwt, up 30 percent from the 2016 crop. Harvested
area totaled 57,700 acres, up 20 percent from a year earlier. The average yield of 343 cwt per acre was up 27 cwt from

the summer was hot and dry in Idaho and Washington, harvest was delayed due to the late planting dates. Digging began
in North Dakota in late August, but progress was slowed by abnormally high temperatures which halted harvest for a short
time. Nebraska set a record high yield of 480 cwt per acre, beating out the previous record of 470 set in 2014.
Sweet potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2017 totaled 35.6 million cwt, up 13 percent from 2016. Growers
harvested 159,300 acres, down 2 percent from the previous year. Yield per acre, at a record high 224 cwt, was up 31 cwt
from 2016.
Growers in North Carolina, the largest sweet potato-producing State, had a good year as indicated by the 2017 yield which
tied the record set in 2014. Acreage was down due to lower prices. Louisiana had heavy rains early in the planting season
causing some fields to be re-worked or replanted. Hurricane Harvey led to rainfall events of up to 10 inches in some
production areas. Harvest was delayed due to wet conditions. Although yields were negatively affected in some areas of
Louisiana, the northern part did not receive as much excess rain as the mid and lower half. Growers in Mississippi were
also challenged by excessive water in many fields.
Peppermint oil: Production in 2017 totaled 5.78 million pounds, up 1 percent from the previous year. Harvested area was
estimated at 60,400 acres, down 5 percent from 2016. Average yield was estimated at 96 pounds of oil per acre, up
6 pounds from a year earlier.
Spearmint oil: Production totaled 2.80 million pounds in 2017, down 13 percent from the previous year. Harvested area
was estimated at 22,300 acres, down 2,200 acres from a year earlier. Average yield was estimated at 125 pounds of oil per
acre, down 6 pounds from 2016.
Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2017 totaled a record high 104 million pounds, up 20 percent
from the 2016 crop of 87.1 million pounds. Combined area harvested for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2017 totaled
a record high 53,282 acres, up 5 percent from the 2016 level of 50,857 acres. Harvested acreage increased in all three
States; 24 percent in Idaho, 3 percent in Washington, and 1 percent in Oregon. United States hop yield, at 1,959 pounds
per acre, increased 246 pounds from a year ago.
Washington produced 75 percent of the United States hop crop for 2017; while Idaho accounted for 13 percent and
Oregon accounted for 11 percent. The 2017 crop year marked the first time Idaho hop production surpassed production in
Oregon. Cascade, Centennial, Zeus, Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic were the six leading varieties in Washington, accounting
for 54 percent of the State’s hop production. In Idaho, Zeus, Cascade, Amarillo, Mosaic, Citra, and Chinook were the
major varieties, accounting for 69 percent of the State’s hop production. In Oregon, Nugget, Cascade, Willamette, and
Citra were the major varieties, accounting for 53 percent of the State’s hop production.
Maple syrup: The 2017 United States maple syrup production totaled 4.27 million gallons, up 2 percent from the
previous year. The number of taps was estimated at 13.3 million, up 6 percent from the 2016 total. Yield per tap was
estimated to be 0.320 gallon, down 4 percent from the previous season.
Taro: Hawaii taro production for the 2017 crop year totaled 3.69 million pounds, up 5 percent from the previous year.
Harvested area, at 350 acres, was up 40 acres from 2016. Yield for 2017 was 10,530 pounds per acre, down 770 pounds
per acre the previous year. Area harvested increased, however yield declined due to more reported crop damage from wild
animals, thus keeping the production level stable over the last few years.

Crop Production 2017 Summary (January 2018)
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
81,800 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 2017 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 1.1 for corn, 2.1 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, 4.2 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.
