Crop Production 2021 Summary (January 2022)
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 17 State Total: 2019-2021
[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]

Crop Production 2021 Summary (January 2022)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

2021 Annual Weather Summary
Highlights: One of the year’s early highlights was an historic, late-winter cold snap, which drove southward across the
Plains to Texas and other parts of the South, delivering the coldest weather in more than three decades. Back-to-back
Southern snowstorms accompanied the blast of frigid air, further delaying a return to normalcy. In Texas and portions of
neighboring states, widespread power outages struck as the cold wave peaked, leading to frozen and burst pipes.
Agriculturally, the bitterly cold weather caused significant harm to citrus and other sensitive crops in Deep South Texas
and severely affected ornamentals and nursery stock, especially in areas where electrical outages limited freeze-mitigation
strategies. Where insulating snow cover was lacking, sub-zero temperatures damaged some crops, including oats and
winter wheat. Ironically, the February cold blast was embedded in an otherwise relatively mild winter.
Meanwhile, the entire year was spent with more than 40 percent of the contiguous United States in drought, according to
the Drought Monitor. By January 4, 2022, the country had endured 67 consecutive weeks with drought coverage greater
than 40 percent, second only to a 68-week such streak from June 19, 2012 – October 1, 2013. Starting in late-November
and continuing through year’s end, national drought coverage topped 50 percent for the first time since September 2013.
During the 2021 growing season, the most consequential drought stretched from the Pacific Coast into the upper Midwest,
resulting in a variety of adverse impacts on rangeland, pastures, winter wheat and spring-sown crops, including barley,
oats, durum wheat, and spring wheat.
In the West, water shortages were a growing concern, as drought carried through a second consecutive year. During the
2-year period ending June 30, 2021, storage in California’s 154 major intrastate reservoirs decreased by nearly half, from
34.1 to 17.5 million acre-feet (from 120 to 62 percent of average). Even a robust Southwestern monsoon failed to
significantly improve water-supply prospects, despite short-term benefit in the form of a boost in topsoil moisture and
improved rangeland and pasture conditions. However, the monsoon-related downpours also sparked Southwestern flash
flooding and debris flows, especially in burn-scarred areas.
While wildfire activity was not as expansive as the previous year, when the national burned acreage totaled more than
10.1 million acres, mid- to late-summer blazes were still prominent on the Western landscape. With a preliminary
2021 burned acreage of nearly 2.6 million acres, California accounted for roughly one-third of the national total of fewer
than 8.0 million acres. In addition, the Dixie Fire (963,309 acres) became California’s second-largest wildfire in modern
history, behind only 2020’s August Complex (1,032,648 acres). Improbably, one of the year’s most destructive fires
occurred near Broomfield, Colorado, on December 30. Driven by hurricane-force winds, the Marshall Fire tore across
more than 6,219 acres of parched vegetation and destroyed nearly 1,000 structures, including more than 550 homes and
other buildings in the community of Louisville, Colorado.
Periods of extreme heat accompanied the Northern and Western drought, aggravating the effects of persistently
below-normal precipitation. In late June, a truly historic Northwestern hot spell sent readings to 110°F or higher in
typically temperate areas along the northern Pacific Coast. Farther inland, the stunning Northwestern heat—with
temperatures approaching 120°F—damaged small grains and fruit crops. Frequent rounds of triple-digit heat (100°F or
higher) extended eastward across the northern Plains and far upper Midwest—but did not reach the heart of the Corn Belt.
As a result, Midwestern corn and soybeans fared reasonably well, with major heat- and drought-related impacts largely
limited to Minnesota and the Dakotas.
By the end of October 2021, at least 39 percent of the rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition in
eleven states along and northwest of a line from California to Minnesota—led by Montana (95 percent very poor to poor).
Around the same time, dryness shifted southward, in part due to the return of La Niña for a second consecutive winter.
The sudden Southern dryness, which occurred during the winter wheat establishment season, left a portion of the crop
poorly established and potentially vulnerable to winter weather extremes. By November 28, nearly one-half (45 percent)
of the winter wheat in Texas was rated in very poor to poor condition, along with 33 percent in Colorado. Farther north,
lingering drought effects left roughly one-half of the wheat rated very poor to poor on that date in Montana (56 percent)
and Oregon (48 percent). Nationally, 23 percent of the Nation’s winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition on
November 28—the greatest amount in those two categories at the end of the autumn establishment season since 2012.

Farther east, eight named Atlantic tropical cyclones made landfall in 2021 along the Gulf or Atlantic Coast. On
August 29, Category 4 Hurricane Ida—with sustained winds near 150 mph—became the strongest hurricane on record to
cross the Louisiana coast, tied with Laura (2020) and the Last Island Hurricane (1856). Catastrophic infrastructural
damage occurred where Ida moved ashore in southeastern Louisiana, near Port Fourchon. In early September, Ida’s
remnants contributed to historic flooding in portions of the middle Atlantic States. The only other 2021 hurricane to strike
the mainland United States was Nicholas, which made landfall on the middle Texas coast on September 14. Six tropical
storms made landfall in the United States: Claudette, Danny, Elsa, Fred, Henri, and Mindy. Despite the large number of
2021 Atlantic tropical cyclones, only one system (Tropical Storm Wanda) formed during the last 2 months of the official
hurricane season, which ended on November 30.
The last 3 months of the year featured several notable weather and climate events, starting with a powerful, late-October
Western storm and continuing through an extended November period of warmth and dryness across much of the western
and central United States. In December, a barrage of extreme events battered various parts of the country, while recordsetting winter warmth stretched from the southern Plains into the Southeast. Tornado outbreaks across the interior
Southeast and lower Midwest on December 5-6 and 10-11 were followed by additional severe weather late in the month.
On the 15th, high winds raised dust across the central Plains, while an exceedingly rare winter derecho swept across
hundreds of miles from the east-central Plains into the upper Midwest, spawning unprecedented December tornadoes as
far north as Minnesota. On December 30, another round of high winds fanned damaging wildfires across thousands of
acres southeast of Boulder, Colorado.
Winter 2020-21: Historically cold weather struck the Nation’s mid-section for 2 weeks in February, resulting in the
lowest temperatures in many communities since at least December 1989—and in a few cases, tying or breaking all-time
records. The sudden Arctic outbreak, which followed a generally mild November-January period, damaged some winter
wheat on the Plains that did not have an adequate protective snow cover. Deep South Texas was disproportionately
affected, as citrus and winter vegetables suffered extensive damage. Producers monitored sugarcane in Texas and
Louisiana for potential impacts on the next harvest. Cold-related impacts extended far beyond crops, dairies, livestock,
greenhouses, and nurseries, as extended power outages led to cascading effects that included potable water shortages and
frozen or broken water lines.
Across portions of the Great Plains, autumn and winter drought--along with potential impacts from February’s extreme
cold—left one-fifth to one-third of the winter wheat rated in very poor to poor condition by late February in several states,
including Texas, Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. Some of the most significant exposure of wheat to sub-zero
temperatures occurred across the central Plains, along with minor production areas in northeastern Montana and parts of
the western Dakotas.
During the first 2 months of 2021, drought coverage remained nearly steady at 45 to 47 percent of the Lower 48 States,
according to the Drought Monitor, down slightly from a December 2020 peak of 49.6 percent. Significant, late-winter
improvement in the drought situation was mostly limited to a swath stretching from the Northwest to the central Rockies,
while portions of the northern Plains and Southwest noted worsening drought. As winter ended, excessive rainfall in the
Kentucky River basin and environs contributed to moderate to major flooding, while a much broader region stretching
from northeastern Texas into the central Appalachians and Ohio Valley experienced minor flooding.
Despite the country experiencing its coldest February in 32 years, winter overall was relatively mild. In fact,
above-normal December-February temperatures were common across the North and West, while pockets of below-normal
temperatures were mostly limited to the south-central United States. Winter warmth was especially prominent in northern
New England, including Maine, where December-February temperatures averaged nearly 7°F above normal.
Spring: Producers across the northern and western United States faced several weather challenges, including ongoing
drought and episodic cold snaps. Even into late May, frost and freezes across portions of the northern Plains and upper
Midwest necessitated replanting of some spring-sown crops, including soybeans. Due to punishing drought and
temperature extremes, a variety of commodities—including rangeland/pastures, spring wheat, and barley—started the
growing season with the lowest spring crop conditions, per USDA/NASS, of the 21st century. By May 30, more than
one-third (39 percent) of the Nation’s rangeland and pastures; 20 percent of the spring wheat; and 13 percent of the barley
were rated in very poor to poor condition.

Crop Production 2021 Summary (January 2022)
USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service

Crops in other parts of the country fared better. Midwestern planting quickly advanced, with 95 percent of the Nation’s
corn and 84 percent of the soybeans sown by May 30; five-year averages for that date were 87 and 67 percent,
respectively. Meanwhile, winter wheat across the central and southern Plains benefited from frequent spring precipitation,
although early-season harvest efforts were slowed by delayed maturation and wet conditions. Farther north, winter wheat
conditions faded amid drought; by May 30, nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of Oregon’s crop was rated in very poor to poor
condition. In contrast, spring wetness from the southern Plains to the Mississippi Delta hampered fieldwork, including hay
cutting and late-season planting.
During the first 5 months of 2021, drought coverage remained nearly steady at 43 to 48 percent of the Lower 48 States,
according to the Drought Monitor. Large-scale improvement in the drought situation was mostly limited to the central and
southern Plains and the eastern slopes of the central Rockies. Meanwhile, the drought picture worsened in the West,
particularly in the Pacific Coast States, as well as portions of the northern Plains and northern Corn Belt. Short-term
dryness developed in portions of the Atlantic Coast States. In contrast, excessive wetness plagued the Mississippi Delta
and portions of neighboring regions.
Following frigid February weather, a sudden end to widespread wintry conditions helped propel the country to a relatively
warm spring. All states except Arkansas ended up on the “warm side” of the historical distribution. However, widespread
spring temperatures averaging at least 2°F above normal were confined to the North—an area stretching from parts of the
Dakotas to New England.
Summer: The drought situation took a turn for the worse across the Pacific Coast States and the Northwest, as a hot, dry
summer led to another active wildfire season and severe stress on rangeland, pastures, and rain-fed summer crops. In the
hardest-hit drought areas, surface water storage continued to dwindle; California’s 154 primary intrastate reservoirs held
less than 60 percent of their normal volume by August 31, compared with 93 percent a year earlier—a loss of
7.8 million acre-feet of water reserves, statewide, in 12 months. By summer’s end, statewide storage was also less than
one-half of average in Nevada and Oregon. Farther south, however, a robust North American monsoon circulation
delivered drought relief, starting in July. Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah, and southwestern Colorado experienced
some of the heaviest, monsoon-related rainfall, which vanquished short-term drought but caused local flooding and
landslides. Even with the summer downpours, New Mexico’s statewide reservoir storage stood at just 41 percent of
average on August 31, reflecting lingering long-term drought impacts.
Regarding Western wildfires, four of northern California’s blazes made the statewide top-20 list for acreage burned.
Those wildfires were the Dixie Fire (more than 963,000 acres), second only to last year’s 1.03 million-acre August
Complex; the 224,000-acre Monument Fire; the 222,000-acre Caldor Fire; and the 199,000-acre River Complex. Among
them, the Dixie Fire (1,329 structures burned) and the Caldor Fire (1,003 structures) made California’s all-time, top-20 list
for property destruction. Rampant Western fires, which shifted northward as monsoon-related rainfall aided Southwestern
containment efforts, also resulted in widespread air-quality degradation, with hazy conditions occasionally extending into
the central and eastern United States.
The delineation between favorable growing conditions (to the southeast) and major drought impacts (to the northwest)
extended from the Pacific Coast into the upper Midwest. On August 29, rangeland and pastures were rated more than
one-half very poor to poor in every state along and northwest of a line from California to Minnesota, led by Washington
(92 percent very poor to poor) and Montana (90 percent). Northwestern small grains, including winter wheat, spring
wheat, and barley, were severely affected by drought. Significant crop stress reached into the upper Midwest, where corn
and soybeans in Minnesota and the Dakotas were adversely affected by heat and drought.
In contrast, abundant summer rainfall and relatively cool conditions across the South led to mostly favorable growing
conditions, albeit at a slower-than-normal pace, for crops such as cotton, peanuts, and rice. Tropical rainfall contributed to
the cloudy, damp pattern; storms making landfall in the United States included Category 4 Hurricane Ida (southeastern
Louisiana on August 29) and Tropical Storms Claudette (June 19), Danny (June 28), Elsa (July 7), Fred (August 15), and
Henri (August 22). Ida’s storm surge and winds were tremendously destructive to infrastructure across southeastern
Louisiana; the remnant circulation later sparked catastrophic flooding in the mid-Atlantic. However, the five tropical
storms mainly delivered rain. Claudette moved ashore in Louisiana, while two tropical storms (Elsa and Fred) made

landfall on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Danny crossed the coast in South Carolina; Henri came ashore in Rhode Island.
Abundant summer rainfall extended into much of the Midwest, particularly the central and eastern Corn Belt. However,
high humidity levels and unusually warm nights contributed to an increase in disease pressure in some Midwestern fields.
During the summer of 2021, drought coverage remained nearly steady at 44 to 48 percent of the Lower 48 States,
according to the Drought Monitor. Large-scale improvement in the drought situation was mostly limited to the Southwest
and an area stretching from the lower Great Lakes region into the Northeast. Early signs of drought development were
generally vanquished in the middle and southern Atlantic States. Late in the summer, however, hotter, drier weather led to
pockets of drought development across the southern half of the Plains.
Autumn: The active Atlantic tropical season remained in full swing through September, with the year’s 20th named
storm (Tropical Storm Victor) forming over the open ocean late in the month. Category 1 Hurricane Nicholas became the
season’s eighth and final named storm to make landfall in the United States, moving ashore in Texas on September 14.
Subsequently, tropical activity waned, with only one system (Tropical Storm Wanda) forming during the last one-third of
the 6-month hurricane season.
Meanwhile, an active and stormy spell across much of the country during October contrasted with a mostly warm, dry
November. Multiple October storms followed a favored path into northern California or the Northwest, eastward across
the northern Plains, easing drought but leaving some long-term impacts—such as low reservoir levels and poor rangeland
and pasture conditions—nearly untouched. Despite an October bump in California’s reservoir levels, storage in the state’s
154 primary intrastate reservoirs stood at 13.2 million acre-feet on November 30, just 66 percent of the long-term average.
Periodic wildfires continued to plague drier areas of the West, especially in the southern Sierra Nevada. In California, two
lightning-sparked September wildfires—the Windy Fire and the KNP Complex—scorched nearly 100,000 acres apiece,
with the latter incident smoldering for weeks. With the return of warm, dry, windy weather in November, additional fires
flared in unexpected places such as Colorado and Montana. Near Denton, Montana, the wind-whipped West Wind Fire—
sparked on November 30 by a downed powerline—tore across 10,644 acres and later raced into town, destroying more
than two dozen homes. Nationally, wildfires burned nearly 7.7 million acres of vegetation by mid-December, about
105 percent of the 10-year average.
Despite a wet October in parts of the Midwest, corn and soybean harvest activities generally remained ahead of the
average pace, in part due to earlier-than-normal crop maturation. However, as the harvest season progressed, parts of the
eastern Corn Belt began to experience some wetness-related harvest delays. In contrast, harvest wrapped up early in much
of the upper Midwest, especially where drought had accelerated maturation and favored a rapid pace of fieldwork.
Meanwhile, fieldwork delays were apparent early in the harvest season across much of the South, as earlier developmental
delays—related to a cool, cloudy, damp summer—led to late maturation for crops such as cotton and peanuts. During
November, however, a sudden dry spell resulted in an acceleration of harvest activities, allowing autumn fieldwork to
reach completion roughly on schedule.
Elsewhere, winter wheat seeding proceeded mostly on schedule during the autumn, although planting was delayed in a
few drier spots. Similarly, wheat emergence was locally slowed by late planting or topsoil moisture shortages. By the end
of November, areas of greatest concern with respect to drought-affected winter wheat establishment included Oregon,
Montana, and the High Plains from Colorado to Texas.
For much of autumn 2021, drought coverage remained nearly steady between 44 to 48 percent of the Lower 48 States,
according to the Drought Monitor. By November 23, however, national drought coverage crept above the 50-percent mark
for the first time since September 10, 2013. Indeed, drought coverage has been significantly elevated for more than a
year—and was last below 40 percent in September 2020. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the only other periods
when national drought coverage continuously exceeded 40 percent for more than a year were March 12, 2002 – June 3,
2003, and June 19, 2012 – October 1, 2013.
December: The last month of 2021 featured some notable weather extremes. In fact, monthly temperatures averaged at
least 10°F above normal at numerous locations from the southern Plains to the Mississippi Delta, setting records for the
100

warmest-ever December. That warmth, along with frigid conditions (locally more than 5°F below normal) near the
Canadian border from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Plains, fueled an active storm track and periods of severe
thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. The month’s first significant severe-weather outbreak occurred across the
mid-South and lower Midwest on December 5-6. Less than a week later, on the 10th, the deadliest December tornado in
the Nation’s history—an EF-4 with winds estimated near 190 mph—traveled nearly 166 miles, starting in Obion County,
Tennessee, and devastating the Kentucky communities of Mayfield and Dawson Springs. Nearly five dozen deaths
occurred during that tornado’s rampage, according to preliminary reports, while dozens of additional tornadoes—some
with fatalities—swarmed other parts of the mid-South and lower Midwest.
A mid-December wind and dust storm, which raked the central and southern Plains with wind gusts of 75 to 100 mph or
higher, further increased concerns regarding the overwintering wheat crop. By the end of December, only 33 percent of
Kansas’ winter wheat was rated in good to excellent condition, down from 62 percent in late-November 2021. Similarly,
the portion of Nebraska’s wheat rated good to excellent dropped from 64 to 39 percent between November 28 and
December 31. Across the southern High Plains, Texas communities such as Amarillo and Borger ended the year on an
80-day streak (October 13 – December 31) without any precipitation—not even a trace. Lingering drought across the
northern High Plains also maintained stress on winter wheat; in Montana, 71 percent of the crop was rated very poor to
poor at year’s end. The Plains’ drought was also reflected in moisture shortages; at the end of December, among reporting
states, topsoil moisture was rated at least one-half very short to short in Colorado (84 percent), New Mexico (80 percent),
Montana (77 percent), Kansas (72 percent), and Nebraska (68 percent), and North Dakota (50 percent). Toward month’s
end, wind-driven wildfires near Boulder, Colorado—including the 6,219-acre Marshall Fire—swept through thousands of
acres of drought-cured brush, timber, and grass, as well as portions of the communities of Louisville and Superior,
destroying as many as 1,000 structures.
In contrast, consistent and widespread storminess delivered December drought relief—in the form of improvements in soil
moisture and mountain snowpack—west of the Rockies. Although drought coverage in the 11-state Western region
decreased only 5 percentage points (from 94 to 89 percent) between November 30, 2021, and January 4, 2022, there was a
substantial decrease in the higher drought categories. For example, Western coverage of extreme to exceptional drought
(D3 to D4) during that 5-week period decreased from 44 to 24 percent, according to the Drought Monitor. Despite the
promising start to the Western winter wet season, additional storminess will be needed in early 2022 to sustain the
recovery from a multi-year drought. By December 31, the average water equivalency of the high-elevation Sierra Nevada
snowpack stood at just over 15 inches, more than 150 percent of average for the date, but only 55 percent of the typical
end-of-season accumulation. In addition, many large reservoirs—including Lake Mead on the Colorado River—remain at
historically low levels and will be unlikely to significantly recover, even with ongoing wetness.

November 28, harvest progress Nationally had reached 94 percent complete, 2 percentage points behind the previous year
but 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Soybeans: Production in 2021 totaled a record 4.44 billion bushels, up 5 percent from 2020. The average yield was
estimated at 51.4 bushels per acre, 0.4 bushel above 2020. Planted area for the Nation, at 87.2 million acres, was up
5 percent from the 2020 planted acreage. Soybean growers harvested 86.3 million acres, up 5 percent from 2020.
Record high yields occurred in Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan,
Mississippi, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia,
and Wisconsin.
The 2021 soybean objective yield survey data indicated that final average pod counts were lower than 2020 in the
combined eleven objective yield States. Compared with final counts for 2020, pod counts were down in 6 of the
11 published States. A decrease of more than 100 pods per 18 square feet from 2020’s final pod count occurred in Indiana,
Kansas, Minnesota, and South Dakota, and a decrease of more than 400 pods per 18 square feet occurred in North Dakota.

planted 40,000 acres in 2021, an increase of 17,000 acres from the previous year. Despite the increase from 2020, planted
area was the second lowest on record for California. Planted area in Idaho, at 34,000 acres, was the largest since data
began to be published for Idaho in 2016. Harvested area for the Nation, at 135,000 acres, was up 5 percent from 2020 but
is the third lowest harvested area on record. The average yield for the Nation, at 1,001 pounds per acre, declined
184 pounds from the 2020 average yield per acre and represented the lowest yield on record for the Nation.
A record low yield was estimated in Idaho and Montana.
Other Oilseeds: Mustard seed production for 2021 decreased 46 percent from the previous year to 43.8 million pounds
and was the lowest production for the Nation since 2015. Planted area, at 103,000 acres, was up 6,000 acres from 2020.
Planted acreage represented the fourth highest area for the Nation since records began in 1991. Harvested area, at
89,300 acres, was down 2 percent, or 2,100 acres, from last year. The average yield, at 491 pounds per acre, was
404 pounds below the 2020 average yield and represents the lowest yield on record for the Nation.
Rapeseed production was estimated at 22.6 million pounds, up 14 percent from last year’s production level and
represented the largest production for the Nation since records began in 1991. Growers planted 14,300 acres of rapeseed
in 2021, an increase of 3,100 acres from 2020. Harvested area, at 12,500 acres, was up 2,400 acres from last year. Planted
and harvested area both represented the second largest area for the Nation on record. The average yield in 2021 was
1,809 pounds per acre, a decline of 162 pounds from 2020.

area, estimated at 11.1 million acres, was down 7 percent from the previous year. Harvested area, at 9.84 million acres,
was up 22 percent from the previous year. In Louisiana and California, Upland planted and harvested area were at record
lows. New Mexico Upland cotton also recorded a record low for harvested acres and production. If realized, the
forecasted yield for all cotton in Arkansas, California, and South Carolina will be a record high.
In the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia), planting was
completed by late June. Excess moisture in the South slowed crop progress. The crop was rated in mostly fair to good
condition throughout the growing season.
In the Delta region, a rainy planting season was complete by the end of June. Some areas within the region struggled with
excessive moisture from hurricanes and tropical storms throughout the season. A few Arkansas cotton gins were impacted
by the tornados in December.
In Texas, dry conditions followed by rains and cooler temperatures slowed planting and crop progress. Good weather
helped advance the harvest and, subsequently, ginning activity. Overall, many growers reported both good yields and
quality on the crop gathered to date.
American Pima producers planted 126,500 acres in 2021, down 37 percent from 2020. Harvested area, at 123,800 acres,
was down 36 percent from the previous year. Production was estimated at 367 thousand 480-pound bales, down
33 percent from 2020. The United States yield was estimated at 1,423 pounds per acre, up 71 pounds from the previous
year.
Ginnings totaled 14,650,800 running bales prior to January 1.

production. Growers in the 11 major sugarbeet-producing States planted 1.16 million acres, down slightly from the
2020 revised area. Harvested area, at 1.11 million acres, was down 3 percent from the previous year. Estimated yield, at
33.2 tons per acre, was up 3.8 tons from last year.
Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2021 was estimated at 33.0 million tons, of which
31.2 million tons were utilized for sugar and 1.80 million tons for seed. Total production for sugar and seed was
down 9 percent from 2020. Sugarcane producers harvested 937,500 acres for sugar and seed in 2021, down 1 percent from
the previous year. Yield for sugar and seed was estimated at 35.2 tons per acre, up 2.9 tons from 2020.
Dry edible beans: United States dry edible bean production was estimated at 22.7 million cwt for 2021, down 30 percent
from the previous year. Planted area was estimated at 1.39 million acres, down 19 percent from 2020. Harvested area was
estimated at 1.34 million acres, down 20 percent from the previous year. The average United States yield for
dry edible beans for the 2021 season is 1,701 pounds per acre, down 261 pounds from 2020.
In North Dakota, 95 percent of the dry bean harvest was complete by the week ending October 31, compared to
100 percent for the previous year. In addition to drought conditions reducing yield, it caused some dry beans to crack.
There were reports that some farmers used those beans as livestock feed. Further, the bean quality in some areas was
good, but due to the drought the size of the beans were smaller. For Michigan, the 2021 growing season was very good for
the largest classes of dry beans (navy and black). These classes are mostly grown in Michigan's "Thumb" and yields were
the highest ever reported.
Lentils: Production in 2021 of lentils was estimated at 3.33 million cwt, down 55 percent from 2020. Planted area, at
708,000 acres, was up 35 percent from last year, while harvested acreage, at 549,000 acres, was up 8 percent from 2020.
The average yield was expected to be 606 pounds per acre, down 845 pounds from last year.
Chickpeas: Production in 2021 of all chickpeas was estimated at 2.86 million cwt, down 30 percent from 2020. Area
planted for all chickpeas for the 2021 crop year was estimated at 368,500 acres, up 45 percent from the previous year.
Area harvested was estimated at 351,000 acres, 40 percent above 2020. The average yield at 815 pounds per acre is
down 815 pounds from the 2020 season.

year. Planted area, at 977,000 acres, down 2 percent from 2020. Harvested area at 834,000 acres, was down 14 percent
from the previous year. The average United States yield for dry edible peas for the 2021 season is 1,025 pounds per acre,
down 1,205 pounds from 2020.
Potatoes: Production in 2021 was estimated at 410 million cwt, down 2 percent from the 2020 crop. Planted area, at
943,000 acres, was up 3 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 935,700 acres, was up 3 percent from the previous year.
The average yield, at 438 cwt per acre, down 23 cwt from the previous year.
In Idaho, the growing season dealt with extreme heat and the Idaho potato crop suffered because of it. Harvest was a little
slower than a normal year. In North Dakota, planting began in mid-April and progressed ahead of 2020. Planting was
virtually complete by the beginning of June. Dry conditions during the growing season resulted in mostly short and very
short topsoil and subsoil moisture conditions. Harvest this season was later compared with the 2020 season, as digging
began in early September and slowed in mid-October but was virtually complete by the end of October.
Peppermint oil: Production in 2021 totaled 4.57 million pounds, down 7 percent from the previous year. Harvested area
was estimated at 44,000 acres, down 10 percent from 2020. Average yield was estimated at 104 pounds of oil per acre,

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
77,100 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, or telephone to obtain information on crop acreage, yield,
and production for the 2021 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 1.3 for corn, 3.3 for Upland cotton and 1.3 for soybeans. This means that chances are approximately 95 out
of 100 that survey estimates for production will be within plus or minus 2.6 percent for corn, 6.6 percent for Upland
cotton, and 2.6 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.
