Winter Wheat for Grain Objective Yield Data
The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield surveys in 10 winter wheat-producing States
during 2022. Randomly selected plots in winter wheat for grain fields are visited monthly from May through harvest to
obtain specific counts and measurements. Data in this table are based on counts from this survey.

May Weather Summary
In late May, national drought coverage fell below 50 percent for the first time since November 2021, but serious drought
concerns persisted from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains—except from the Pacific Northwest to the northernmost
Rockies. According to the Drought Monitor, drought coverage across the Lower 48 States stood at 49.3 percent at the end
of May, down from 53.4 percent just 4 weeks earlier and an early-March peak of 61.1 percent. Much of the reduction in
drought coverage occurred across the northern United States and eastern sections of the Plains.
In fact, many Midwestern producers contended with too much rain and soggy field conditions, leading to extensive
planting delays. For example, only 22 percent of the Nation’s intended corn acreage had been seeded by May 8. Although
planting conditions eventually improved across the heart of the Midwest, with an additional 64 percent of the national
corn acreage planted during the 3 weeks ending May 29, major delays persisted in Minnesota and North Dakota. Those
planting delays extended to other Northern crops, including spring wheat (73 percent planted, nationally, by May 29) and
sugarbeets (75 percent, a record-slow pace for that date). Among 21st century years, only 2011 featured a slower spring
wheat planting pace by May 29.
In contrast, drought continued to ravage much of the Plains’ winter wheat, with the crop maturing in southern production
areas amid ongoing drought and periods of extreme heat. By May 29, more than one-quarter of the winter wheat was rated
in very poor to poor condition in each of the Plains’ major production states, ranging from 26 percent in Montana and
South Dakota to 80 percent in Texas. Nationally, 40 percent of the winter wheat was rated very poor to poor on May 29,
with harvest already underway in the South—and 22 percent complete on that date in Texas.
Despite the drought, May thunderstorms—featuring high winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes—peppered the Plains.
Storms extended into other regions, including the Midwest, South, and East. One of the most prolific severe-weather
outbreaks occurred on May 12, when a derecho spanned hundreds of miles from eastern Nebraska into central Minnesota,
spawning dozens of tornadoes and resulting in localized wind gusts above 100 mph. Due to late planting and emergence,
the primarily agricultural impact from the May 12 high-wind event was damage to farm buildings and equipment. Another
outbreak on May 30 struck a similar area, from Nebraska to Minnesota. Despite the almost-daily frequency of severe
weather in May 2022, preliminary reports indicated that only slightly more than 200 tornadoes occurred, nationally—well
below the final counts of May 2003, 2004, and 2019, all of which featured more than 500 twisters.
Meanwhile, the Southwest endured a difficult May, with a backdrop of worsening drought and periods of extreme heat. In
addition, several high-wind events fanned early-season wildfires, which included New Mexico’s largest blaze in modern
history. The Hermits Peak Fire, an escaped April 6 prescribed burn near Las Vegas, New Mexico, joined with the Calf
Canyon Fire—a holdover (or sleeper) fire that reemerged on April 19, following about 3 months of dormancy—growing
to about 318,000 acres by early June and surpassing the 297,845-acre Whitewater-Baldy Complex of May-July 2012.
Another active blaze, the 287,000-acre Black Fire in southwestern New Mexico, was ignited on May 14, with containment
near 50 percent by early June.
Cooler-than-normal conditions were prevalent from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Intermountain West and
northern sections of the Rockies and Plains, while near- or above-normal temperatures covered the remainder of the
country. In portions of central Texas, early-season heat boosted May temperatures at least 6°F above normal.
Temperatures averaged 2 to 4°F above normal in parts of the Northeast. Conversely, Northwestern readings generally
averaged at least 2 to 4°F below normal. On May 21-22, a late-season freeze extending as far south and east as Nebraska
resulted in some damage to winter grains and spring-sown crops, although concerns for the latter were limited by late
planting and slow emergence.
May Agricultural Summary
May was warmer than average for much of the Nation. Parts of Texas recorded temperatures 6°F or more above normal.
In contrast, most of the Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, and Rockies recorded below normal temperatures for the
month. Large parts of Idaho, Oregon, and Washington recorded temperatures 4°F or more below normal. While most of
the Southwest remained dry, at least twice the normal amount of rainfall was recorded in parts of the Mid-Atlantic,
Midwest, Mississippi Valley, Pacific Northwest, Plains, Northern Rockies, and Southeast.

are above last year’s in Montana and Nebraska. As of May 29, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas winter wheat was rated in
good to excellent condition at 28 percent, 8 percent, and 5 percent, respectively. In Texas, winter wheat harvest was
22 percent complete, 1 percentage point behind the 5-year average pace.
Forecasted head counts from the objective yield survey in the three soft Red Winter States (Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio)
are all below last year’s final head count. As of May 29, Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio winter wheat was rated 60 percent,
69 percent, and 55 percent, in good to excellent condition, respectively.
Forecasted head counts from the objective yield survey in Washington are above last year’s final head count. As of
May 29, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington winter wheat crop was rated in good to excellent condition at 61 percent,
67 percent, and 62 percent, respectively.
Durum wheat: Production of Durum wheat in Arizona and California is forecast at a collective 8.79 million bushels,
down 3 percent from last month but up 28 percent from last year.
Grapefruit: The United States 2021-2022 grapefruit crop is forecast at 384,000 tons, down 1 percent from the previous
forecast and down 12 percent from last season’s final utilization. The Florida forecast, at 3.30 million boxes
(140,000 tons), is down 3 percent from previous forecast and down 20 percent from the last season. California and Texas
grapefruit production forecasts were carried forward from the previous forecast.
Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is forecast at 876,000 tons, down slightly
from the previous forecast and down 27 percent from the last season’s final utilization. The Florida tangerine and
mandarin forecast, at 750,000 boxes (36,000 tons) is down 6 percent from the previous forecast and down 16 percent from
last season. The California tangerine and mandarin forecast was carried forward from the previous forecast.
Hops: United States hop acreage strung for harvest in 2022 is forecast at 59,89 acres, down 2 percent from last year’s
record of 60,872 acres. In Washington, the largest acreage State, 42,428 acres strung for harvest, down 3 percent from the
previous season. In Idaho area strung for harvest was 9,440 acres, down 3 percent from 2021. Oregon hop growers strung
8,028 acres for harvest this season, up 9 percent compared to 7,395 acres last season.
Cherries, Tart: United States tart cherry total production for 2022 is forecast at 229 million pounds, up 33 percent from
the 2021 production. In Michigan, the largest tart cherry producing State, the season started slowly due to cooler weather
but progressed with no major freeze events. In Utah, as of week-ending May 29, bloom was 81 percent complete
compared with 95 percent for the previous year. In Wisconsin, blossoms have progressed with no frost.
Cherries, Sweet: United States sweet cherry total production for 2022 is forecast at 275,000 tons, down 27 percent from
2021. In Washington, the largest producing State, severe cold weather in winter and spring reduced pollination and fruit
set. In California, most trees received adequate chilling hours, however, frosts in February and March damaged the crop in
some areas. In Oregon, cold winter with high rainfall and low temperatures reduced fruit set for the 2022 crop. A late
spring storm slowed pollination with some growers reporting damage to blossoms.
Maple syrup: The 2022 United States maple syrup production totaled 5.03 million gallons, up 35 percent from the
previous season. The number of taps totaled 14.3 million, up 2 percent from the 2021 total. Yield per tap was
0.352 gallon, up 0.088 gallon from the previous season.
The earliest sap flow reported was January 1 in New York and Vermont. The latest sap flow reported to open the season
was February 20 in Wisconsin. On average, the season lasted 34 days, compared with 27 days in 2021. The 2021

Statistical Methodology
Wheat survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between May 25 and June 7 to
gather information on expected yield as of June 1. The objective yield survey was conducted in 10 States that accounted
for about 70 percent of the 2021 winter wheat production. Farm operators were interviewed to update previously reported
acreage data and seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected winter wheat fields. The counts made
within each sample plot depended upon the crop's maturity. Counts such as number of stalks, heads in late boot, and
number of emerged heads were made to predict the number of heads that will be harvested. The counts are used with
similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is subtracted to
obtain a net yield. The plots are revisited each month until crop maturity when the heads are clipped, threshed, and
weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting
loss.
The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interview.
Approximately 3,000 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about the probable yield
on their operation. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of
average yields.
Orange survey procedures: The orange objective yield survey for the June 1 forecast was conducted in Florida. In
August and September last year, the number of bearing trees and the number of fruit per tree was determined. In August
and subsequent months, fruit size measurement and fruit droppage surveys are conducted, which combined with the
previous components are used to develop the current forecast of production. California and Texas conduct grower surveys
on a quarterly basis in October, January, April, and July. California also conducts objective measurement surveys in
September for Navel oranges and in March for Valencia oranges.
Wheat estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported data were reviewed for
reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather
patterns and crop progress compared to previous months and previous years. Each Regional Field Office submits their
analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State
analyses to prepare the published June 1 forecasts.
Orange estimating procedures: State level objective yield indications for Florida oranges were reviewed for errors,
reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. The Florida Field Office submits its analysis of the current
situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the Florida survey data and their analysis to prepare
the published June 1 forecast. The June 1 orange production forecasts for California and Texas are carried forward from
April.
Revision policy: The June 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each month
throughout the growing season. End-of-season wheat estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the wheat marketing
season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks, production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks.
Revisions are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant changes. End-of-season
orange estimates will be published in the Citrus Fruits Summary released in September. The orange production estimates
are based on all data available at the end of the marketing season, including information from marketing orders,
shipments, and processor records. Allowances are made for recorded local utilization and home use.
Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the June 1 production forecast, the “Root Mean Square Error,” a
statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the June 1 production forecast and the
final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the
latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes statistically the “Root Mean Square Error.”
Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the final
end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's forecast are not different from those influencing recent
years.

The “Root Mean Square Error” for the June 1 winter wheat production forecast is 5.0 percent. This means that chances are
2 out of 3 that the current winter wheat production will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 5.0 percent.
Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 8.6 percent.
Also shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the June 1 forecast and
the final estimate. Using winter wheat again as an example, changes between the June 1 forecast and final estimate during
the last 20 years have averaged 59 million bushels, ranging from 4 million to 166 million bushels. The June 1 forecast has
been below the final estimate 9 times and above 11 times. This does not imply that the June 1 winter wheat forecast this
year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
