Released September 12, 2022, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Special Note
Each September, NASS has the opportunity to revise planted and harvested acreage estimates for
chickpeas, cotton, dry edible peas, lentils, peanuts, and rice. This year NASS also included corn,
sorghum, soybeans, and sugarbeets in this review due to the completeness of this season’s data for these
crops. Revisions are based on all available data, including the latest certified acreage data from the Farm
Service Agency (FSA). All States in the estimating program for these crops were subject to review and
updating. Detailed estimates are found on pages 5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 14, 17, 21, 22, and 23.
Beginning in 2022, to allow for more complete information, potato area planted for certified seed data
will be published in the Crop Production report released in September. Data has historically been
published in the Crop Production report released in August.
Corn Production Down 3 Percent from August Forecast
Soybean Production Down 3 Percent
Cotton Production Up 10 Percent
Corn production for grain is forecast at 13.9 billion bushels, down 3 percent from the previous forecast and down
8 percent from 2021. Based on conditions as of September 1, yields are expected to average 172.5 bushels per harvested
acre, down 2.9 bushels from the previous forecast and down 4.5 bushels from last year. Acreage updates were made in
several States based on a thorough review of all available data. Total planted area, at 88.6 million acres, is down 1 percent
from the previous estimate and down 5 percent from the previous year. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 80.8 million
acres, down 1 percent from the previous forecast and down 5 percent from the previous year.
Soybean production for beans is forecast at 4.38 billion bushels, down 3 percent from the previous forecast and down
1 percent from 2021. Based on conditions as of September 1, yields are expected to average 50.5 bushels per acre, down
1.4 bushels from the previous forecast and down 0.9 bushel from 2021. Total planted area, at 87.5 million acres, is down
1 percent from the previous estimate but up less than 1 percent from the previous year. Area harvested for beans in the
United States is forecast at 86.6 million acres, down 1 percent from the previous forecast but up less than 1 percent from
2021. Acreage updates were made in several States based on a thorough review of all available data.
All cotton production is forecast at 13.8 million 480-pound bales, up 10 percent from the previous forecast but down
21 percent from 2021. Based on conditions as of September 1, yields are expected to average 843 pounds per harvested
acre, down 3 pounds from the previous forecast but up 24 pounds from 2021. Upland cotton production is forecast at
13.4 million 480-pound bales, up 10 percent from the previous forecast but down 22 percent from 2021. Pima cotton
production is forecast at 460,000 bales, up 13 percent from the previous forecast and up 39 percent from 2021. All cotton
area harvested is forecast at 7.88 million acres, up 10 percent from the previous forecast but down 23 percent from 2021.
All cotton planted area totaled 13.8 million acres, up 11 percent from the previous forecast and up 23 percent from 2021.
California Navel orange production for the 2022-2023 season is forecast at 1.52 million tons (38.0 million boxes)
up 19 percent from last season. The initial forecast is based on an objective measurement survey conducted in California’s
Central Valley from mid-June to the beginning of September. The objective measurement survey indicated that fruit set
was up 47 percent from last year but the average fruit size was down 2 percent from last year. Harvest is expected to begin
in October.

August Weather Summary
Drought-easing August rainfall in the southwestern and south-central United States improved topsoil moisture and revived
rangeland and pastures. However, much of the rain arrived too late to significantly benefit drought-ravaged summer crops,
including cotton and sorghum. By August 28, more than one-third of the Nation’s cotton (36 percent) and sorghum
(44 percent) crops were rated in very poor to poor condition. On the same date, rangeland and pastures were rated
46 percent very poor to poor, nationally, down from 52 percent on August 14.
In contrast, drier-than-normal August weather—accompanied by above-normal temperatures—dominated the central
Plains and western Corn Belt. Although less than one-fifth of the Nation’s corn (19 percent) and soybeans (13 percent)
were rated in very poor to poor condition on August 28, values were considerably higher in hotter, drier areas west of the
Mississippi River. In Nebraska, for example, 34 percent of the corn and 28 percent of the soybeans were rated very poor
to poor in late August.
Drier-than-normal conditions also dominated the Northwest, contributing to dozens of late-summer wildfires but favoring
small grain maturation and harvesting. By early September, more than five dozen Northwestern wildfires were in various
stages of containment, with some of the larger fires resulting in smoky conditions and air-quality degradation. North of
Salmon, Idaho, the Moose Fire—burning since July 17—had charred more than 107,000 acres of vegetation by early
September.
Farther south, another month of widespread, monsoon-related showers led to drought relief, most notably in the
Four Corners States. However, locally heavy showers also led to flash flooding, especially in recently burn-scarred areas.
Las Vegas, New Mexico, near the site of the fully extinguished, 341,735-acre Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire—the largest
in modern state history—has had its primary water source threatened by toxic, ash- and debris-laden runoff into the
Gallinas River. Even with Southwestern summer rainfall, chronic, underlying drought has resulted in continuing low
levels in major reservoirs, including those in the Colorado Basin. Near Las Vegas, Nevada, the surface elevation of
Lake Mead rose slightly during August but remained more than 170 feet below where the lake level stood as recently as
early 2000, when the Southwestern mega-drought began.
Meanwhile, abundant August rainfall across the Deep South contributed to fieldwork delays and concerns about the
quality of unharvested summer crops. Some of the heaviest rain fell across southern Texas, where a disturbance moved
inland in mid-August before acquiring tropical characteristics, and late in the month from northeastern Texas to the
central Gulf Coast States. Flash flooding struck the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area on August 21-22, followed a few
days later by a week-long loss of potable water in Jackson, Mississippi, when floodwaters from the Pearl River
overwhelmed an already compromised water-treatment facility.
Monthly temperatures did not stray far from normal in the Deep South and from the Mississippi Valley eastward, except
in the Northeast. Conversely, August readings averaged as much as 5°F above normal in southern New England and
environs, accompanied by significant, short-term drought. Elsewhere, August temperatures broadly averaged at least 5°F
above normal from the Pacific Northwest to the northern High Plains, as well as parts of California.
During the 4-week period ending August 30, drought coverage in the Lower 48 States decreased nearly 6 percentage
points, from 51.4 to 45.5 percent, according to the Drought Monitor. August rain across the previously drought-stricken
southern Plains helped to reduce national coverage of extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) from 19.0 to
13.1 percent. However, those significant August improvements were partially offset by worsening drought across the
northern and central Plains, western Corn Belt, and parts of the Northeast.
Finally, the tropical Atlantic Basin was extremely quiet in August, with no named cyclones. It was the first time since
1997—and before that, 1961—without a named Atlantic Basin storm during August. However, the tropics came to life
soon after August ended, with Danielle becoming the Atlantic Basin’s first hurricane of the season on September 2.

August Agricultural Summary
August was warmer than average for much of the Nation. Large areas of California, the Northeast, Pacific Northwest,
Northern Plains, and Northern Rockies recorded temperatures 4°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, large
parts of the Mississippi Valley, Southeast, and Southwest were cooler than normal. While much of the Pacific Coast,

Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between August 25 and September 7 to
gather information on expected yield as of September 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton, and soybeans were
conducted in the major producing States that usually account for 75 percent of the United States production. Farm
operators selected for the objective yield survey were interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and seek
permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected fields for the objective yield survey (corn, cotton and,
soybeans). The counts made within each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, the
number of plants is recorded along with other measurements that provide information to forecast the number of ears,
bolls, or pods and their weight. 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 visited starting in September
and are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has
harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss. Starting in 2019, NASS
eliminated the August objective yield survey for cotton (except Texas), corn, and soybeans.
The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interviews.
Approximately 7,400 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield.
These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields.
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 with 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 September 1 forecasts.
Revision policy: The September 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each
month throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the 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. Estimates of
planted acres for spring planted crops are subject to revision in the August Crop Production report if conditions altered
the planting intentions since the mid-year survey. Planted acres may also be revised for cotton, peanuts, and rice in the
September Crop Production report each year; spring wheat, Durum wheat, barley, and oats only in the Small Grains
Annual report at the end of September; and all other spring planted crops in the October Crop Production report.
Revisions to planted acres will only be made when either special survey data, administrative data, such as Farm Service
Agency program “sign up” data, or remote sensing data are available. Harvested acres may be revised any time a
production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended harvested area has changed since the last forecast.
Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the September 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean Square
Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the September 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. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the September 1 corn for grain production forecast is
3.2 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast will not be above or below the final
estimate by more than 3.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not
exceed 5.5 percent.
Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the September 1
forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the September 1 forecast and the final
estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 289 million bushels, ranging from 13 million bushels to 845 million
bushels. The September 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 10 times and above 10 times. This does not imply
that the September 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
