Winter Wheat for Grain Objective Yield Data

The National Agricultural Statistics Service is conducting objective yield 
surveys in 10 winter wheat-producing States during 2020. Randomly selected 
plots in winter wheat for grain fields are visited monthly from May through 
harvest to obtain specific counts and measurements. Data in these tables are 
based on counts from this survey.

July Weather Summary

During July, widespread warmth promoted a rapid pace of crop development. 
However, hot weather led to crop stress in two primary areas-one stretching 
from the Desert Southwest to the southern Plains and the other extending from 
the lower Great Lakes region into the middle and northern Atlantic States. 
Monthly temperatures averaged at least 5°F above normal in several locations 
across southern New Mexico and western Texas, as well as an area covering the 
lower Great Lakes States, central Appalachians, and Northeast. In contrast, 
cooler-than-normal conditions were mostly limited to the northern High Plains 
and the Northwest.

Most of the country's drought remained consolidated across the western half 
of the United States, although secondary drought areas existed in the western 
Corn Belt and from the lower Great Lakes region into the Northeast. Nearly 
two-thirds (63 percent) of the 11-state Western region was in drought on 
August 4, according to the Drought Monitor. On the same date, drought covered 
29 percent of the Northeast but only 8 percent of the Midwest. Nationally, 
more than one-third (33.5 percent) of the contiguous United States was 
experiencing drought by early August, up from 25.5 percent at the end of 
June. Drought coverage was last greater on September 4, 2018.

Midwestern drought was most apparent from northeastern Nebraska into central 
Iowa and across easternmost corn and soybean production areas. Nevertheless, 
72 percent of Nation's corn and 73 percent of the soybeans were in good to 
excellent condition on August 2. On the same date, roughly three-quarters of 
the Nation's rice (76 percent) and peanuts (73 percent) were rated good to 
excellent.

Meanwhile, some crops across the central and southern High Plains continued 
to suffer from the effects of heat and drought, despite a turn toward cooler, 
wetter weather as the month progressed. By August 2, Colorado led the country 
in very poor to poor ratings for corn (25 percent) and sorghum (26 percent), 
while Texas led with 24 percent of its cotton rated very poor to poor.

In the West, heat- and drought-related stress extended to rangeland and 
pastures. In early August, Oregon led the country with 70 percent of its 
rangeland and pastures rated in very poor to poor condition, followed by 
California (55 percent), Wyoming (53 percent), New Mexico (47 percent), and 
Colorado (41 percent). However, drier-than-normal weather also favored 
Northwestern small grain maturation and harvesting.

Tropical systems affecting the United States during July included 
Tropical Storm Fay and Hurricane Hanna. Fay produced heavy rain and gusty 
winds in the Atlantic Coast States and on July 10 became the first tropical 
cyclone to make landfall in New Jersey since Irene on August 27, 2011. About 
2 weeks later, on July 25, Category 1 Hurricane Hanna moved inland across 
sparsely populated Kenedy County in southern Texas. Hanna resulted in local 
flooding and wind damage to crops such as citrus and cotton in the lower 
Rio Grande Valley. On July 29-30, newly formed Tropical Storm Isaias sparked 
locally heavy showers across Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, easing 
or eradicating drought.

July Agricultural Summary

July was warmer than average for most of the Nation. Parts of the 
Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Southwest, and Texas recorded 
temperatures 4°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, pockets in 
the central Great Plains, the Pacific Northwest, and most of the northern 
Rockies were cooler than normal. Much of Florida, the Great Lakes, the 
Great Plains, the Gulf Coast, and the Mississippi Valley received higher than 
normal amounts of rain but the West was drier than normal. Parts of Florida, 
the Gulf Coast, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin received 10 inches 
or more of rain for the month.

North Dakota was rated in good to excellent condition.

Other spring wheat: Production is forecast at 577 million bushels, up 
5 percent from the previous forecast and up 3 percent from 2019. The 
United States yield is forecast at 49.0 bushels per acre, up 2.4 bushels from 
the previous forecast and up 0.8 bushel from a year ago. If realized, this 
will be the highest United States yield on record. Of the total production, 
530 million bushels are Hard Red Spring wheat, up 2 percent from last year. 
The area expected to be harvested for grain or seed is expected to total 
11.8 million acres, unchanged from last month, but 1 percent above 2019. A 
record high yield is forecast in Montana for 2020.

blooming, 23 percentage points ahead of last year and 7 percentage points 
ahead of the 5-year average.

Forty-eight percent of soybean acreage was blooming by 
July 12, twenty-nine percentage points ahead of last season and 8 percentage 
points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 12, eleven percent of the soybean 
acreage was setting pods, 8 percentage points ahead of last year and 
1 percentage point ahead of the 5-year average. The week ending July 12 was 
the first week this year that soybeans were setting pods in all 18 major 
soybean-producing States. Twenty-five percent of soybean acres were setting 
pods by July 19, nineteen percentage points ahead of last year 
and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By 
July 26, seventy-six percent of soybean acreage was blooming, 24 percentage 
points ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year 
average. Fifty-nine percent of the soybean acreage was setting pods by 
August 2, twenty-seven percentage points ahead of last year and 5 percentage 
points ahead of the 5-year average.

As of August 2, seventy-three percent of soybean acreage was rated in good to 
excellent condition, compared with 54 percent at the same time last year. 
Soybean acreage was rated in better condition this year than last year 
in 15 of the 18 major soybean-producing States, with Illinois, Indiana, and 
South Dakota more than 30 percentage points improved compared to last year.

If realized, the forecasted yield will be a record high in Illinois, Indiana, 
Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota.

Peanuts: Production is forecast at 6.21 billion pounds, up 13 percent from 
2019. Area harvested is expected to total 1.47 million acres, unchanged from 
the previous forecast but up 6 percent from 2019. Based on conditions as of

harvested area for California will be the lowest on record, while Upland 
harvested area in Kansas will be the highest on record.

As of August 2, ninety-one percent of the cotton acreage was squaring, 
1 percentage point behind last year but equal to the 5-year average. At that 
time, 54 percent of the cotton acreage was setting bolls, 1 percentage point 
behind both last year and the 5-year average. As of August 2, forty-five 
percent of the cotton acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, 
compared with 54 percent at the same time last year. 

In Texas, cotton reached the boll stage in the High Plains but some dryland 
fields were plowed under due to poor growth in the Southern High Plains. 
Strong winds and heavy rains from Hurricane Hanna damaged many acres of 
cotton in the Lower Valley. In Georgia, weather conditions have been 
favorable overall for this year's cotton crop, allowing for planting to 
progress in a timely manner. As of August 2, seventy-three percent of the 
cotton acreage in Georgia was rated in good to excellent condition.

If realized, the forecasted yield for Upland cotton in Arkansas and 
Mississippi will be a record high.

forecast at 10.7 billion pounds, down 3 percent from the previous year. 
Forecasted production this season is expected to be lower compared with last 
year, in all States except Oregon. Michigan had a cool to cold late winter 
that delayed the development of spring buds and severe freeze in early May 
2020. Apple production in Michigan is expected to be 3 percent lower than the 
previous year. 

Cranberries: United States 2020 total cranberry production is forecast at 
8.97 million barrels, up 13 percent from 2019. Wisconsin production is 
forecast at 5.50 million barrels, up 18 percent from 2019 as growers reported 
more favorable growing conditions than last year. Production in 
Massachusetts, forecast at a record high 2.40 million barrels, is 
up 11 percent from last year. As of August 2, sixty percent of Massachusetts' 
cranberry crop was rated in good to excellent condition.

Grapes: United States grape production for 2020 is forecast at 
7.18 million tons, up 4 percent from last year. California's wine type grape 
production is forecast at 4.00 million tons, unchanged from 2019, and 
represents 59 percent of California's total grape crop. California's raisin 
type grape production is forecast at 1.40 million tons, up 8 percent from 
last year, and represents 21 percent of California's total grape crop. 
California's table type grape production is forecast at 1.35 million tons, 
up 14 percent from last year and represents the remaining 20 percent of 
California's total grape crop. If realized, this will be the highest table 
grape production on record.

Peaches: United States peach production is forecast at 645,500 tons, 
down 5 percent from 2019. 

In California, Freestone full bloom occurred on March 3, fifteen days earlier 
than last year, and was reported to be good. Harvest began in Kingsburg on 
June 8, with smaller fruit sizes and a tight labor supply reported. 
Clingstone peaches received adequate chilling hours and favorable weather 
during the spring that benefited the crop. Overall conditions have been 
favorable as mid-season peach harvest continued.

In South Carolina, despite a lack of chill hours and damage from hail in some 
areas, the crop is expected to be the largest since 2011. As a result, demand 
and movement were moderate and steady with generally good quality fruit 
reported. Harvest began in mid-May and was 90 percent complete by August 2. 
In Georgia, growers were expecting a good crop. Harvest began mid-May and was 
97 percent complete by August 2.

In Colorado, a severe freeze in the western slope growing region severely 
damaged the crop. In Michigan and New Jersey, the crop was lessened by 
freezing spring temperatures as well.

Pears: United States pear production for 2020 is forecast at 800,000 tons, 
up 10 percent from last year. In California, pear harvest continued. Growing 
conditions have been ideal which has improved fruit sizing. Growers in Oregon 
and Washington reported favorable, mild spring and summer conditions ideal 
for a healthy crop. Growers expect good crop volume with improved quality and 
sizing.

Statistical Methodology

Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted 
between July 25 and August 6 to gather information on expected yields as of 
August 1. The objective yield survey for winter wheat was conducted in 10 
States that account for 74 percent of the 2019 winter wheat production. The 
objective yield survey for cotton was only conducted in the southern portions 
of Texas. 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. 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 heads 
or bolls 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 revisited 
each month until crop maturity when the fruit are 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 first objective yield survey conducted for these crops will 
begin in September.

The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use 
of mail and internet. Approximately 20,300 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 August 1 forecasts.

Revision policy: The August 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 August 1 
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure 
based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the August 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 August 1 corn for grain production 
forecast is 3.6 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 3.6 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) 
that the difference will not exceed 6.2 percent.

Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of 
the differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using 
corn again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final 
estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 317 million bushels, ranging 
from 5 million bushels to 940 million bushels. The August 1 forecast has been 
below the final estimate 9 times and above 11 times. This does not imply that 
the August 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate 
final production.
