36 Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) 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: 2010-2012 [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]

80 Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
2012 Annual Weather Summary Highlights: Drought, which began the year mostly confined to the southern United States, charged northward and intensified during the spring and summer, eventually becoming the Nation’s worst agricultural calamity since 1988. Complicating and exacerbating the drought situation, the Nation suffered through its hottest year on record, fueled by record-warmth during the spring and the third-hottest summer. As result, nearly two-thirds (63.86 percent) of the contiguous United States was in drought, according to the United States Drought Monitor, by late July. Drought coverage eventually peaked on September 25, with 65.45 percent of the country affected. According to preliminary data provided by the National Climatic Data Center, the Nation’s annual average temperature of 55.3 degrees Fahrenheit was 3.3 degrees above the 1901-2000 mean, demolishing the 1998 standard of 54.3 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, seven of the Nation’s ten warmest years on record have occurred in the last 15 years (along with 1998 and 2012, they are 1999, 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2007). The only pre-1998 years still on the record books for top-ten warmth are 1921, 1931, and 1934. During 2012, all but three (Georgia, Oregon, and Washington) of the Lower 48 States reported one of their ten warmest years on record, and 19 States from the Southwest to the Northeast set annual records for warmth. The Nation also suffered through its driest year since 1988, and fifteenth-driest year on record. Annual precipitation averaged 26.57 inches (91 percent of normal) across the contiguous United States. For Nebraska and Wyoming, it was the hottest, driest year on record; Nebraska’s record for dryness had stood since 1934. Near-record dryness dominated several other States, including Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, and New Mexico. In contrast, relatively wet conditions prevailed during 2012 in the Pacific Northwest, the central Gulf Coast region, and parts of the Northeast. Washington ranked highest, reporting its fifth-wettest year. Winter 2011-12: The winter of 2011-12 featured little in the way of sustained cold, especially east of the Rockies. However, even in a winter without much cold weather, Florida’s peninsula endured a brief freeze on January 4-5, as well as several other minor cool snaps. Farther north, winter wheat largely escaped without significant cold-season damage despite a general lack of snow cover and occasional high winds. Nevertheless, the southern High Plains wheat crop, not to mention rangeland and pastures, continued to suffer from aftereffects of the historic drought of 2011. Meanwhile, precipitation was considerably below normal across much of the western United States, except for unusually heavy December rain and snow in the Southwest and periods of mid- to late-winter storminess in the Northwest. Drier than normal conditions also plagued parts of the Atlantic Coast States, leading to worsening drought across the lower Southeast. Notable winter wetness was generally confined to the Nation’s mid-section, stretching from portions of the central and southern Plains into the Ohio Valley. Spring: Unprecedented spring warmth covered much of the central and eastern United States, promoting rapid crop planting and development but reducing soil moisture reserves due to above average evaporation rates and crop demands. In much of the West, unusual warmth caused premature melting of high-elevation snow packs. Both March and spring (March-May) United States temperatures surpassed records originally set more than a century ago, in 1910. Warmth left fruits vulnerable to spring cold snaps, and a series of freezes (from late March to late April) in the lower Great Lakes region and the Northeast damaged a variety of crops. Meanwhile, consistently cool conditions were confined to the Pacific Northwest. In the Sierra Nevada, significant spring precipitation turned a dismal wet season into merely a poor one. Farther inland, the wet season ended on a dry note, especially in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. However, all of those States - as well as California and Nevada - had a buffer against developing drought in the form of abundant reservoir storage. Elsewhere in the West, heavy precipitation from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies contrasted with drier than normal conditions (and below average reservoir storage) in Arizona and New Mexico. Farther east, late-spring rainfall eased dry conditions across the northern Plains and upper Midwest, but developing drought remained a concern in the central Plains, southern and eastern Corn Belt, and Mid-South. During May, Tropical Storm Beryl contributed to a favorably wetter pattern in the East. Summer: The Nation’s worst agricultural drought since 1988 harmed corn, soybeans, sorghum, pastures and rangeland, as well as a variety of other commodities. Corn and soybean conditions, as reported by USDA/NASS, were comparable to those observed during the 1988 drought, while pasture conditions (reported only since 1995) reached a record-high 59 percent very poor to poor during 5 consecutive weeks in August and early September. In contrast, mid- to late-summer
Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) 81 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
rainfall revived pastures and aided immature summer crops across the South, East, and lower Midwest. By summer’s end, at least half of the pastures were rated good to excellent in every coastal State from Louisiana to Maryland. Rainfall became excessive, however, in late August, when Hurricane Isaac rolled into Louisiana. Isaac battered the central Gulf Coast with wind, torrential rainfall, and a coastal storm surge. The storm’s remnants eventually provided drought relief to parts of the Mid-South and lower Midwest. Autumn: Dry conditions strengthened their grip on the Nation’s mid-section, maintaining severe stress on rangeland and pastures and resulting in poor establishment of the Plains’ hard red winter wheat crop. On the southern Plains, extremely dry conditions prevailed in October and November following a promising start to the winter wheat growing season in September. In contrast, relatively wet conditions developed in October and November across northern California, the Northwest, and portions of the northern Plains, helping to offset an exceedingly dry September. Unfortunately, most of the precipitation failed to reach the Southwest, where drought remained deeply entrenched. Farther east, autumn rainfall largely eradicated drought from the eastern Corn Belt, but soil moisture shortages remained a serious concern across the western Corn Belt. At the end of October, the remnants of Hurricane Sandy contributed to an overall wet pattern across the lower Great Lakes region. Sandy’s most profound impacts were felt across the northern Mid-Atlantic region, battered by high winds and a record-setting storm surge, and the central and southern Appalachians, blanketed by heavy snow. Elsewhere, an autumn drying trend led to drought expansion and intensification in parts of the Southeast, mainly in Alabama and the southern Atlantic States. Relatively cool autumn weather covered much of the eastern half of the Nation, particularly from the middle and lower Mississippi Valley into the middle and southern Atlantic States, while unusual autumn warmth prevailed in most areas from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains. 2012 Annual Crop Summary April: A mild winter coupled with warm early-spring conditions throughout much of the country not only brought overwintered small grains out of dormancy sooner than expected but also afforded producers a rapid start to spring fieldwork. By April 1, corn planting was active in half of the 18 major estimating States, with 3 percent of the Nation’s crop in the ground, slightly ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Cotton producers in southern Texas had been working their fields since mid-March and had 12 percent of the State’s crop planted by April 1. Conversely, growers in the Plains and western regions of Texas weighed the cost of seed against mostly dry soil conditions. Warm, mostly dry weather continued throughout the month in most areas, promoting record-setting planting and crop development paces for many crops. Toward month’s end, the effects of below average rainfall became evident in portions of the Southeast as soil moisture levels declined, causing some row crop producers to limit planting activities until some improvement occurred. May: Warmer than normal temperatures dominated much of the United States throughout May, maintaining the rapid fieldwork and crop development paces established in April. In Kansas, heading of the winter wheat crop was nearing completion by May 6, approximately 3 weeks ahead of normal, and by May 27, harvest was underway in southern portions of the State, marking the earliest start since 1952. With rice seeding winding down in the Delta and Texas, overall progress slowed despite improved weather conditions in California that boosted field activity. Favorable weather in the soybean-producing regions promoted a torrid planting pace throughout May, pushing overall progress 20 percentage points or more ahead of normal in 11 of the 18 major estimating States by June 3. While mostly adequate soil moisture levels existed in portions of the Midwest during the month, precipitation throughout much of the Nation was scarce and soil moisture levels began to decline, hinting at the start of the hottest, driest summer on record for some regions. Most notably, persistently dry weather coupled with record-breaking temperatures in the central and southern Great Plains negatively impacted winter wheat conditions, evidenced by an 11 point decline in the good to excellent rating from May 6 to June 3, Nationwide. June: Above average temperatures and mostly sunny skies blanketed the heart of the country during June, providing ample time for fieldwork and boosting phenological development of this year’s crops. However, the combination of high temperatures and below average rainfall negatively impacted row crop conditions in many areas. Rootless corn syndrome was reported in portions of Missouri, while the need for additional moisture was evident in many Iowa corn fields with wilted plant leaves. By July 1, United States corn condition ratings were reported at 48 percent good to excellent, compared with 72 percent on June 3, representing the lowest good to excellent rating for the week ending July 1 since 1988 when 23 percent of the crop was reported in good to excellent condition. Similarly, warm temperatures maintained steady phenological development of the Nation’s soybean crop, but, when coupled with a severe lack of soil moisture,

caused a significant decline in crop condition. In Texas, strong winds, blowing dust, and hail damaged some recently emerged cotton in the Panhandle during early June, while producers in the High Plains irrigated fields and sprayed insecticide to battle aphids and flea hoppers later in the month. Hot, dry conditions in late June dried out soils and stressed this year’s barley crop in Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota – where over 60 percent of the crop is produced. Unrelenting hot temperatures aided a rapid dry down pace for winter wheat in most of the major producing States, allowing harvest to advance quickly during the month. Nationwide, producers had harvested 69 percent of the winter wheat crop by July 1, one of the fastest paces on record. July: The month brought little relief from the unusually hot temperatures and below average rainfall experienced during June. Crop conditions deteriorated further under record-setting temperatures and prolonged dryness; however, crop maturity and small grain harvest continued to advance rapidly. By July 8, sorghum producers in South Central Texas were gearing up for an earlier than normal harvest, while winter wheat harvest in Colorado, Michigan, Nebraska, and South Dakota was 49 percentage points or more ahead of normal. Peg development was evident in the 8 major peanut-producing States as July began, with most of Georgia’s crop reported in good to excellent condition despite excessively wet spots in some fields. Warm temperatures in the Delta promoted rapid boll setting for cotton, while favorable weather in California benefitted fruit retention and development. As hot temperatures and dry weather lingered, many dryland cotton fields in Texas’ Plains regions were plowed under in favor of replanting to sorghum, while some fields in the Coastal Bend were zeroed out by insurance companies. Elsewhere, much-needed precipitation returned to portions of the eastern Corn Belt in late July; however, the moisture did little to benefit drought-affected corn as 94 percent of the crop was at or beyond the critical pollination stage by July 29. Poor emergence was noted in many double-cropped soybean fields in the Corn Belt as dry soils limited seed germination. On July 29, twenty-nine percent of the soybean crop was reported in good to excellent condition, compared with 45 percent on July 1, representing the lowest good to excellent rating for the week ending July 29 since 1988, when 24 percent of the crop was reported in good to excellent condition. August: While precipitation totals throughout much of the Nation’s Breadbasket remained well below average, August temperatures returned to near-normal levels following oppressive July heat. Conversely, areas along the central and eastern Gulf Coast accumulated monthly rainfall in excess of 10 inches, with Hurricane Isaac dumping more than 16 inches on portions of southeastern Louisiana. Limited early-month rainfall in portions of the Corn Belt benefitted late-planted corn fields, but did little to help the drought-affected, mature crop. As a result, producers in some States chose to chop corn for silage or bale it for hay as it would provide better nutrition for livestock given crop conditions this year. Dry, mostly sunny weather during early August provided small grain producers across the Northern Tier ample time for fieldwork, pushing the barley and spring wheat harvests well ahead of the normal pace. As timely rainfall in the eastern Corn Belt helped to slightly improve crop conditions and boost pod fill in late-planted soybeans mid-month, some drought-stricken sorghum fields in Kansas were chopped for silage, while harvest for grain was in full swing throughout Texas. Heavy irrigation continued in many northern Texas cotton fields throughout much of August, as some dryland fields were plowed under. High water and strong winds damaged many cotton fields in Louisiana as Hurricane Isaac made landfall toward month’s end. September: Near to above average temperatures lingered across much of the United States during the month, promoting late-season crop development and aiding a rapid fieldwork pace. However, crop conditions and soil moisture levels declined further, as precipitation totaled less than 25 percent of normal in most regions from the Great Lakes westward. As Iowa producers focused on combining corn fields with weaker stalks or wind damage early in the month, mild, mostly dry weather in the Midwest promoted one of the Nation’s quickest harvests on record. Sunny days coupled with cool nights benefitted sugarbeet quality in Michigan; however, harvest progress was limited throughout the month as producers anticipated an October 22 start to open piling and long-term storage. By September 9, virtually all of the barley and spring wheat crops were harvested. Seeding of the 2013 winter wheat crop was underway in several States by September 9, while less than adequate soil moisture levels delayed the start of fieldwork in portions of the Great Plains and Pacific Northwest. Elsewhere, rice producers were rapidly harvesting the Nation’s crop despite some mid-month harvest delays in Arkansas caused by lodging that resulted from early-month thunderstorms. Favorable late-month weather conditions not only maintained rapid soybean maturity, but provided ample time for a torrid fieldwork pace as more producers in the Corn Belt switched their focus from corn to soybeans. By September 30, producers had harvested 41 percent of the Nation’s soybean crop, 22 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average and one of the quickest harvest paces on record.
Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) 83 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
October: Near-normal temperatures coupled with below average precipitation provided producers throughout much of the United States ample time to harvest their remaining summer crops and seed overwintered small grains; however, less than adequate soil moisture levels hampered seed germination and establishment of winter wheat in portions of the Great Plains. As a result, 39 percent of the 2013 winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition on November 4, compared with 49 percent from the same time last year. In Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, the portion of the crop rated good to excellent was 37 percent, 21 percent, and 34 percent, respectively, compared with 45 percent, 42 percent, and 21 percent from the same time last year. With favorable weather conditions providing for one of the quickest harvest paces on record, corn producers had combined 95 percent of this year’s crop by November 4, twenty-four percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Hampered by persistent rainfall during October, soybean harvest slowed in portions of the eastern Corn Belt as the month progressed, while producers in many central and western locations within the region were harvesting the last of their fields by month’s end. Elsewhere, the first fall frost ended phenological development in many northern Texas cotton and peanut fields, allowing for an earlier than normal harvest. Hurricane Sandy made landfall toward month’s end, pummeling the Mid-Atlantic Coast States with strong wind, excessive rain and snowfall, as well as severe flooding. November: Favorable temperatures continued well into November, aiding the maturity of remaining row crops, but, when coupled with below average moisture, maintaining stress on recently sown small grains. Portions of the central and southern Great Plains received less than 5 percent of their normal November precipitation, limiting seed germination and growth of the 2013 winter wheat crop. By November 25, thirty-three percent of the winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition, the lowest rating for that week since conditions estimates began in 1986. Following an early start to spring planting and rapid crop development throughout the summer, corn producers had harvested 95 percent of the Nation’s crop by November 4, the quickest harvest pace since 1987. Peanut harvest in the southern Great Plains and Southeast advanced rapidly in early November under mostly sunny skies. Similarly, mild, dry weather across the Cotton Belt favored a quick fieldwork pace into mid-November. By November 25, eighty-nine percent of this year’s cotton crop was harvested, 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Elsewhere, cooler temperatures delivered by the remnants of Superstorm Sandy improved conditions for long-term sugarbeet storage in Michigan. As a result, harvest gained speed during the month, and by November 25, ninety-nine percent of the Nation’s crop had been dug, 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Crop Comments Corn: Corn for grain production is estimated at 10.8 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast but 13 percent below 2011. The average yield in the United States is estimated at 123.4 bushels per acre. This is up 1.1 bushels from the November forecast but 23.8 bushels below the 2011 average yield of 147.2. Estimated yields in 2012 are down sharply across many of the major corn producing States due to widespread drought and extreme temperatures that occurred in June and July. Yield declines of 30 bushels or more compared with 2011 are estimated in several large corn-producing States. In contrast, yields are up across much of the Southeast and Southern Plains following the adverse weather conditions of 2011. Record yields are estimated in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Wyoming. Corn planted area, at 97.2 million acres, is up 6 percent from 2011. This represents the largest acreage since 1937. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 87.4 million acres, down slightly from the November forecast but up 4 percent from 2011. The 2012 corn objective yield data indicate the lowest number of ears per acre since 2005 for the combined 10 objective yield States (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). Corn silage production is estimated at 113 million tons in 2012, up 4 percent from 2011 and represents the highest production in the United States since 1982. The United States silage yield is estimated at 15.4 tons per acre, down 3.0 tons from 2011. Area harvested for silage is estimated at 7.38 million acres, up 24 percent from a year ago. Planting got off to a fast start in 2012 due to warmer than normal temperatures and favorable field conditions across much of the major corn-producing region. By April 1, three percent of the Nation’s acreage was planted, slightly ahead of both
84 Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
last year and the 5-year average pace. Planting was active in several major producing States during the first part of April, but producers in some locations were hesitant to begin out of concern for a potential spring freeze. Warm, dry weather continued throughout April, and producers planted at a blistering pace during the latter half of the month. By April 29, fifty-three percent of the Nation’s crop was planted, 26 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average pace. Fifteen percent of the acreage had emerged at this time, 9 percentage points ahead of the five-year average. Despite Midwestern rain showers during the first part of May, growers continued planting at an above average pace. By May 6, seventy-one percent of the Nation’s corn acreage had been planted, 39 percentage points ahead of last year and 24 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nearly one-third of the crop had emerged by this time. By May 20, ninety-six percent of the acreage was planted, which represented the quickest planting pace on record. Crop development continued at a rapid pace through the end of May due to warm weather and adequate soil moisture levels. By June 3, virtually all of the acreage had emerged. Scarce rainfall, coupled with record-breaking temperatures, created unfavorable growing conditions during June in many of the major corn-producing regions. Silking was underway by mid-month, with 5 percent of the crop reported in the critical reproductive stage by June 17. This was 3 percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Despite continually declining soil moisture levels, silking progressed rapidly during the latter half of the month, as sunny skies promoted crop development. By month’s end, one-quarter of the corn crop was at or beyond the silking stage, 20 percentage points ahead of last year and 17 points ahead of the 5-year average. As of July 1, forty-eight percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition, compared with 72 percent rated in these two categories as of June 3. This represented the lowest good to excellent rating for this particular week since 1988, when only 23 percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition. Mostly dry weather and brutally hot temperatures carried over into the first part of July in much of the Midwest, and corn conditions continued to decline rapidly. As of July 15, only 31 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition, 35 percentage points below the same time last year. The above average temperatures promoted rapid crop development, and by mid-month, 71 percent of the crop was at or beyond the silking stage, 35 percentage points ahead of the five-year average. Twelve percent had reached the dough stage, 9 percentage points ahead of last year and 8 points ahead of the 5-year average. Although portions of the eastern Corn Belt received much needed rainfall during the latter half of the month, the moisture did little to benefit drought-affected corn since most of the crop was past the critical pollination stage. Mostly dry weather and triple-digit heat gripped the Plains and the western Corn Belt at this time. The shift of heat into the western Corn Belt could not have come at a worse time for corn entering the reproductive stage of development. This was similar to what happened in late June and early July across the lower Midwest. In contrast, enough rain fell across the northern Corn Belt to help stabilize or even improve crop conditions in some areas. As of July 29, only 24 percent of the corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition in the 18 major producing States, compared to 62 percent rated in these two categories last year at this time. In contrast, 48 percent of the corn acreage was rated in very poor to poor condition in these same States, compared with only 14 percent rated in these two categories last year that this time. Eight of the major corn producing States reported 50 percent or more of the corn acreage rated in very poor to poor condition as of July 29. Scattered showers and slightly cooler conditions provided some relief to later planted corn in parts of the Midwest during the first week of August but extreme heat and a continued lack of moisture in the southern and western Corn Belt continued to take a toll on the crop. As of August 5, sixty-one percent of the crop was at or beyond the dough stage, 34 percentage points ahead of last year and 31 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Twenty-six percent of the crop was dented by this time, 20 percentage points ahead of last year and 19 points ahead of the 5-year average. Six percent of the acreage was considered mature at this time. Widespread rains and cooler temperatures were reported in parts of the central Corn Belt during the middle of August but generally came too late for corn except for the immature fields. The 2012 corn crop continued to develop at one of the quickest paces on record during August due to the hot, dry conditions experienced during the growing season. As of September 2, eighty-six percent of the crop was at or beyond the dent stage, 21 percentage points ahead of last year and 23 points ahead of the 5-year average. Forty-one percent of the crop was mature by September 2, twenty-six percentage points ahead of last year and 25 points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationwide, producers had harvested 10 percent of the corn crop at this time, 7 percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average pace.
Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) 85 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Rapid phenological development of this year’s corn crop continued through September. As of September 30, ninety-four percent of the corn acreage was rated mature or beyond, 20 percentage points ahead of the same time last year and 22 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Aided by mild, mostly dry weather in the Midwest, corn producers were harvesting the Nation’s crop at one of the quickest paces on record. Fifty-four percent of the intended grain acreage was harvested by September 30, thirty-six percentage points ahead of last year and 34 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average pace. Aided by mostly favorable conditions during the first part of October, corn producers continued harvesting the nation’s crop at a rapid pace. As of October 14, seventy-nine percent of the crop was harvested, 37 percentage points ahead of last year and 41 points ahead of the 5-year average pace. Precipitation in many areas of the major corn producing region during the latter part of October slowed late-season harvesting somewhat, but despite the delays, 95 percent of the Nation’s corn crop was harvested as of November 4. This was 10 percentage points ahead of last year and 24 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average pace. Sorghum: Grain production in 2012 is estimated at 247 million bushels, down 4 percent from the November 1 forecast but up 15 percent from 2011. Planted area is estimated at 6.24 million acres, up 14 percent from last year. Area harvested for grain, at 4.96 million acres, is up 26 percent from 2011. Average grain yield, at 49.8 bushels per acre, is down 1.3 bushels from the previous forecast and down 4.8 bushels from last year. Silage production is estimated at 4.14 million tons, up 80 percent from 2011. Area cut for silage is estimated at 363,000 acres, up 62 percent from the previous year. Silage yields averaged 11.4 tons per acre, up 1.1 tons per acre from 2011. In the South, more favorable growing conditions from a year ago led to improved grain yields. Record high yields are estimated for Georgia and Louisiana. Meanwhile, yields in the Midwest were down from last year due to drought conditions. In Colorado, grain production is estimated to be the lowest since 1934. Kansas grain production is estimated to be the lowest since 1956. In New Mexico, grain production is estimated to be the lowest since 1945. Oats: The 2012 production is estimated at 64.0 million bushels, up 19 percent from last year. Yield is estimated at 61.3 bushels per acre, up 4.2 bushels from the previous year. Area planted to oats is estimated at 2.76 million acres, up 11 percent from 2011. Harvested area is estimated at 1.05 million acres, up 11 percent from last year. Favorable growing conditions in the Dakotas, Minnesota, and Texas promoted significant yield increases compared with 2011. Drought conditions in the Mountain West and Southeast regions led to a large decline in yield from last year. During early spring, planting and emergence of the oat crop was ahead the normal pace. By April 22, growers had planted 82 percent of their acreage, 25 percentage points ahead of normal, and emergence was 58 percent complete, 17 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Planting was 97 percent complete, 11 percentage points ahead of the average by May 13 and 88 percent of the crop was emerged, 20 percentage points ahead of the normal pace. Through June, crop development remained ahead of normal in most major oat-producing States. As of June 24, ninety-one percent of the oat acreage was headed, 24 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. At the end of July, 73 percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 39 percentage points ahead the normal pace. By August 19, ninety-eight percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 18 percentage points ahead of the five-year average. Barley: Production is estimated at 220 million bushels, up 41 percent from 2011. Average yield per acre, at 67.9 bushels, is down 1.7 bushels from the previous year. Producers seeded 3.64 million acres in 2012, up 42 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 3.24 million acres, is up 45 percent from 2011. These represent the first increases in seeded and harvested area since 2008, and reflect a strong rebound in barley acreage in North Dakota following problems seeding during 2011. As April began, barley producers across much of the country were busy seeding this year’s crop, with progress advancing ahead of the normal pace in most States. Conversely, cool spring temperatures coupled with excessively wet fields in Washington limited fieldwork. Emergence was underway by April 15. Sunny skies and adequate soil moisture levels
86 Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
promoted one of the quickest seeding paces on record. By May 20, ninety-eight percent of the Nation’s barley crop was in the ground, 17 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. With the exception of Washington, emergence in the five major estimating States neared completion toward the end of May. Head development was evident in most States in early-June, and continued to progress rapidly in most locations as warmer than normal temperatures boosted crop growth throughout the month. By July 1, heading had advanced to 61 percent complete, 52 percentage points ahead of last year and 28 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Hot, mostly dry weather during July in Idaho, Montana, and North Dakota - the three largest barley-producing States - dried out soils and negatively affected the developing crop. As above average temperatures quickly matured this year’s barley crop, harvest was underway in Minnesota and North Dakota by July 8. Nationally, 14 percent of the barley crop was harvested by July 29, well ahead of both last year and the average pace. Favorable weather conditions throughout August provided ample time for fieldwork across the Northern Tier. In Idaho, harvest was complete in lower elevation fields by August 26. Nationwide, 95 percent of this year’s crop was harvested by September 9, sixteen percentage points ahead of last year and 13 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. All wheat production totaled 2.27 billion bushels in 2012, up 13 percent from 2011. Grain area totaled 49.0 million acres, up 7 percent from the previous year. The United States yield is 46.3 bushels per acre, up 2.6 bushels from the previous year and matches the record high from 2010. The levels of production and changes from 2011 by type are winter wheat, 1.65 billion bushels, up 10 percent; other spring wheat, 542 million bushels, up 19 percent and Durum wheat, 80.2 million bushels, up 62 percent. Winter wheat: The 2012 winter wheat production totaled 1.65 billion bushels, up 10 percent from the previous year. The United States yield is 47.2 bushels per acre, up 1.0 bushel from 2011. The United States yield is the second highest on record, 0.6 bushel below 1999. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 34.8 million acres, up 8 percent from the previous year. Planted and harvested acres were up from 2011 in most of the major Hard Red Winter (HRW) growing States. Particularly large acreage increases were experienced in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas where dry conditions had limited 2011 planted acres. Record high planted acres were experienced in North Dakota while record low acres were seeded in Nebraska and Ohio. Nationally, HRW production totaled 1.00 million bushels, up 29 percent from 2011. North Dakota and California producers set record high yields. In the Soft Red Winter (SRW) growing area, acreage increases from 2011 were experienced in the Southeast, with North Carolina seeding the highest acres on record for that State. Conversely, acreage decreases were seen in most States in the Corn Belt and Northeast. Yields were down from last year in the Southeast, where many record yields were set in 2011. Record high yields were realized in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. SRW production totaled 420 million bushels, down 8 percent from 2011. White winter production totaled 222 million bushels, down 14 percent from the previous year. Planted and harvested acreage in the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) was below 2011’s level. Yields were also down from last year in all PNW States. Other spring wheat: Production for 2012 is estimated at 542 million bushels, up 19 percent from 2011. Harvested area totaled 12.1 million acres, virtually unchanged from last year. The United States yield is 45 bushels per acre, up 7.3 bushels from last year. Favorable growing conditions in the Dakotas and Minnesota promoted significant yield increases compared to 2011. Due to dry spring conditions, planting got off to a quick start in most all the major spring wheat-producing States. As of April 29, seventy-four percent of the crop had been planted, 42 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Crop maturation continued ahead of normal throughout the growing season for all States. As a result, harvest progress was well ahead of the 5-year average. By September 2, ninety-five percent of the crop had been harvested, 23 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) 87 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Durum wheat: Production for 2012 is estimated at 82.0 million bushels, up 62 percent from 2011. Grain area harvested is 2.10 million acres, up 60 percent from the previous year. The United States yield is 39.0 bushels per acre, up 0.5 bushel from 2011 and the fourth highest yield on record. The crop progressed ahead of normal due to the above normal temperatures in Montana and North Dakota throughout the growing season. Harvest was virtually complete by September 9 in Montana and North Dakota, well ahead of average. Rice: Production in 2012 is estimated 199 million cwt, up slightly from the previous forecast and 8 percent above 2011. Planted area is estimated at 2.70 million acres, up slightly from 2011. Area harvested, at 2.68 million acres, is up 2 percent from the previous crop year. The average yield for all United States rice is estimated at a record high 7,449 pounds per acre, up 32 pounds from the previous forecast and 382 pounds above the 2011 yield. Good growing conditions, combined with dry weather conditions at harvest led to record setting yields in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas. Rye: Production for 2012 is estimated at 6.94 million bushels. Harvested area totaled 248,000 acres, up 6,000 acres from 2011. The United States yield, at 28.0 bushels per acre, is up 1.9 bushels from the previous year. Favorable growing conditions in the Southern Great Plains and Northern Great Plains led to yield increases from a year earlier. Proso millet: Production of proso millet in 2012 totaled 3.09 million bushels, down 66 percent from 2011. Planted area, at 335,000 acres, is down 9 percent, while harvested area, at 205,000 acres, is down 39 percent from last year. The average yield for 2012 is estimated at 15.1 bushels per acre, down 12 bushels from last year and the lowest average yield since 2002. Extended summer drought negatively impacted the crop in all estimating States. All hay: Production of all dry hay for 2012 is estimated at 120 million tons, down 2 percent from the October 1 forecast and down 9 percent from the 2011 total. This is the lowest United States production level since 1964. Area harvested is estimated at 56.3 million acres, down 2 percent from the October 1 forecast but up 1 percent from last year. The average yield, at 2.13 tons per acre, is up 0.01 ton from October but down 0.23 ton from the previous year. This is the lowest United States yield since 1976. Alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Production in 2012 is estimated at 52.0 million tons, down 6 percent from the October 1 forecast and down 20 percent from 2011. This is the lowest United States production level since 1953. Harvested area, at 17.3 million acres, is 8 percent below the October 1 forecast and 10 percent below the previous year. This is the smallest harvested area since 1948. Average yield is estimated at 3.01 tons per acre, 0.06 ton above the October 1 forecast but down 0.39 ton from 2011. Compared with last year, alfalfa hay harvested area decreased throughout much of the United States as one of the hottest, driest growing seasons on record negatively impacted soil moisture levels and crop growth. Driven by poor yields across much of the central and northern Great Plains, Midwest, and Northern Tier, production decreased 21 percent or more in 15 of the 42 estimating States. Conversely, yields in the Southwest and southern Great Plains increased or remained unchanged from last year as precipitation was more widespread when compared with the extreme drought conditions evident in these areas in 2011. All other hay: Production in 2012 totaled 67.8 million tons, up 2 percent from the October 1 forecast and 3 percent above 2011. This is the second lowest United States production since 1998. Harvested area, at 39.0 million acres, is up less than 1 percent from October and 7 percent from last year. Average yield is estimated at 1.74 tons per acre, up 0.03 ton from October but down 0.07 ton from last year. Despite unfavorably dry conditions that limited pasture and grass hay growth throughout much of the Nation, harvested acreage increased throughout much of the central and southern United States as CRP land was opened for haying. In fact, record highs for harvested acreage were established in Florida and Oklahoma. Elsewhere, declines in acreage evident throughout much of the West, portions of the Corn Belt, and in many Atlantic Coast States resulted from hot, dry weather, reductions in livestock inventories, and the conversion of hay fields to plowed land for row crop harvest. Record low harvested acreages were established in Maine, Massachusetts, and North Dakota.
88 Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
With the exception of the South, where moisture was more readily available when compared with last year, yields throughout the country decreased from 2011 under oppressive heat and extremely dry conditions. Forage: Eighteen States participate in the forage estimation program, which measures annual production of forage crops, with an emphasis on total alfalfa production. Haylage and greenchop production is converted to 13 percent moisture and combined with dry hay production to derive the total forage production. The total 2012 all haylage and greenchop production for the 18 States in the forage program is 26.5 million tons, of which 17.6 million tons are from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. The total all haylage production is down 17 percent from last year. The 18-State total for all forage production is 79.6 million tons, a decrease of 11 percent from last year. Of this, 42.5 million tons were produced from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. New seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures: Growers seeded 2.39 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during 2012, up 3 percent from 2011. This represents the first increase in seeded area since 2005; however, it is still the second smallest seeded area of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures for the United States. The new seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures will normally be harvested for the first time in the year following planting. Peanuts: Production is estimated at a record high 6.74 billion pounds, up 4 percent from the previous forecast and an 84 percent increase from 2011. Planted area is estimated at 1.64 million acres, up 44 percent from 2011, and area harvested, at 1.61 million acres, is up 49 percent from the previous crop year. Average yield is estimated at 4,192 pounds per acre, up 134 pounds from the previous forecast and up 806 pounds from 2011. This is a record high yield. Bouncing back from last year’s severe drought, yields increased in all States except Texas. Condition of the crop was rated mostly good to excellent during the growing season, with timely rain during nut development boosting yields to record levels. Record high yields were reported in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Virginia. Canola: Production in 2012 is estimated at 2.45 billion pounds, up 59 percent from 2011 but down 1 percent from the October 1 forecast. Production for the United States is the second largest on record. The yield, at 1,416 pounds per acre, is down 59 pounds from last year’s yield and down 14 pounds from October. Planted area is estimated at a record high 1.77 million acres, 65 percent above last year’s acreage and 14 percent above the previous record high set in 2000.

Planted area in North Dakota is up 70 percent from last year to a record high 1.46 million acres. Planting conditions this spring were much improved compared with last year when extremely wet conditions in the northern part of the State, where the majority of the crop is grown, severely hampered planting. Sunflower: The 2012 sunflower production totaled 2.79 billion pounds, up 37 percent from 2011. The United States average yield per acre increased 115 pounds from last year to 1,513 pounds. Planted area, at 1.92 million acres, is 24 percent above last year, but is the third lowest since 1990. Area harvested increased 26 percent from last year to 1.84 million acres. Production in North Dakota, the leading sunflower-producing State, is estimated at 1.46 billion pounds, up 91 percent from 2011. The yield in North Dakota, at a record high 1,732 pounds per acre, is up 366 pounds from 2011. Compared with last year, planted area in North Dakota increased 48 percent and harvested area increased 50 percent. The average yield in Nebraska, at 740 pounds per acre, is down over 660 pounds from last year due to drought conditions this year and is the second lowest on record. Extremely dry weather also hampered yields in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and South Dakota. Meanwhile, much better growing conditions were prevalent this year in Minnesota where the average yield of 1,755 pounds per acre is the third highest on record. United States production of oil-type sunflower varieties, at 2.40 billion pounds, increased 39 percent from 2011.

Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) 89 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Production of non-oil sunflower varieties, at 386 million pounds, increased 22 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 249,200 acres, is up 11 percent from 2011 but is the second lowest since 1987. The average yield increased by 142 pounds from last year to a record high 1,548 pounds per acre. Harvest of sunflowers began in late September and by the end of the month progress was ahead of normal in Kansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota but lagged behind normal in Colorado. Conditions remained generally favorable through October, allowing harvest in the four States to progress ahead of the 5-year average with the exception of Colorado. By October 28, harvest was 82 percent complete in the four major States, compared with the 5-year average of 42 percent. Harvest was nearly complete by November 18, as progress reached 97 percent in the four major States, 1 percentage point ahead of last year and 11 percentage points ahead of normal for that date. Soybeans: Production in 2012 totaled 3.01 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast but down 3 percent from 2011. United States production is the seventh largest on record. The average yield per acre is estimated at 39.6 bushels, 0.3 bushel above the November 1 forecast but 2.3 bushels below last year’s yield. Planted area for the Nation, at 77.2 million acres, is up 3 percent from last year and is the third largest on record. Soybean growers harvested 76.1 million acres, up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast and up 3 percent from last year. Drought conditions across most of the Corn Belt hampered soybean development this year, especially in Nebraska where the average yield declined 12.5 bushels from last year. In contrast, growing conditions were improved from a year ago across the remaining soybean States. Compared with last year, yield increased from the southern Great Plains, through the Southeast, and into the Mid-Atlantic States. Record high yields occurred in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. The 2012 soybean objective yield survey data indicate that final average pod counts were lower than last year in all of the eleven objective yield States. Compared with last year, pod counts were down more than 20 percent in Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Hot, dry conditions across most of the Corn Belt during the pod development stage led to reductions in pod counts per plant compared with last year, and in turn, reduced yields. Planting conditions this spring were much improved from last year when severe flooding in several areas during April contributed to delays in soybean planting. Planting of this year’s soybean crop was underway in all 18 major States by the end of April. By April 29, twelve percent of the intended soybean crop had been planted, 7 percentage points ahead of normal and 10 percentage points ahead of last year’s pace. Heavy showers fell across parts of the northern and western Corn Belt during the first week of May, but very little precipitation occurred in the major soybean growing areas for the remainder of the month, allowing planting to remain at a pace ahead of last year and the 5-year average. As of June 3, soybean planting had reached 94 percent complete, 19 percentage points ahead of normal and more than 30 percentage points ahead of last year’s pace. North Carolina was the only major State to be lagging behind normal planting pace at the beginning of June, trailing the 5-year average by 5 percentage points. Emergence of the soybean crop began ahead of last year and the 5-year average, and remained ahead of normal pace throughout May and June. By June 17, emergence had advanced to 95 percent, 18 percentage points ahead of last year and 14 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Progress for blooming and setting pods followed a very similar pattern to emergence for soybeans, as progress for both remained several points ahead of last year’s pace and the 5-year average throughout June and July. As of July 29, eighty-eight percent of the Nation’s crop was blooming, 16 percentage points ahead of last year and 13 percentage points ahead of normal. Fifty-five percent of the acreage was setting pods by July 29, twenty-six percentage points ahead of last year and 20 percentage points ahead of normal. Development of the crop continued to progress ahead of normal throughout the month of August and by August 26, ninety-six percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the pod-setting stage, 6 points ahead of last year and 5 points ahead of normal. Through September, development of the crop remained ahead of normal and by September 30, eighty-five percent of the soybean crop was dropping leaves or beyond, 14 percentage points ahead of last year’s pace and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Progress was equal to or ahead of normal in all major-producing States except Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Tennessee.
90 Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Condition of the soybean crop was rated below last year’s crop throughout most of the growing season due to drought conditions in major growing areas. As of September 30, thirty-five percent of the United States soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 19 percentage points below the same week in 2011. Soybean harvest in the 18 major States was 41 percent complete at the beginning of October, 26 percentage points ahead of last year’s pace and 22 percentage points ahead of normal. Progress was ahead of normal in all 18 States except for Indiana, Ohio, and Tennessee, and was more than 50 percentage points ahead of normal in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota.

94 Crop Production 2012 Summary (January 2013) 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 over 83,000 farm operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to be selected. These operators were contacted by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on crop acreage, yield and production for the 2012 crop year. Estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and farm operator reported data (DAS) were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared with previous years. Each Field Office submits an estimate and written analysis for their State to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data, administrative data, and the State analysis to prepare the estimates published in this report. Revision policy: Estimates contained in this report may be revised the following year, if new information is available that would justify a change. Estimates will also be reviewed after data for the 5-year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions will be made after that date. Reliability: The surveys used to make the acreage, yield, and production estimates contained in this report are subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. Reliability of the objective yield and farmer survey must be treated separately because the survey designs for the two surveys are different. The objective yield indications (corn, cotton, and soybeans) are subject to sampling variability because all acres of a given commodity are not included in the sample. The farm operator survey indications are also subject to sampling variability because not all operations with commodities of interest are included in the sample. This variability, as measured by the relative standard error at the National level, is approximately 1.1 for corn, 2.3 for Upland cotton and 1.1 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, 4.6 percent for Upland cotton, and 2.2 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.
