Biotechnology Varieties The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the June Agricultural Survey in all States each year. Randomly selected farmers across the United States were asked if they planted corn, soybeans, or Upland cotton seed that, through biotechnology, is resistant to herbicides, insects, or both. Conventionally bred herbicide resistant varieties are excluded. Insect resistant varieties include only those containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The Bt varieties include those that contain more than one gene that can resist different types of insects. Stacked gene varieties include only those containing biotech traits for both herbicide and insect resistance. The States published individually in the following tables represent 85 percent of all corn planted acres, 85 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 90 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

Spring Weather Review Highlights: 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. 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 deteriorated 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 United States Drought Monitor, down slightly from a December 2020 peak of 49.6 percent. 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. 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. Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information, the contiguous United States experienced its 21st-warmest, 42nd-driest spring during the 127-year period of record. Across the Lower 48 States, the March-May average temperature of 52.6°F was 1.7°F above the 20th century mean, while precipitation averaged 7.53 inches (95 percent of normal). It was the Nation's driest spring since 2006. Spring warmth was most prominent in the North and West, while wetness was largely focused on an area stretching from the central and southern Plains into the lower Mississippi Valley. Top-ten rankings for spring warmth were confined to Michigan and four Atlantic Coast States from Delaware to Maine. Meanwhile, state precipitation rankings ranged from the second-driest spring on record in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington to the fourth-wettest spring in Louisiana. California and Michigan also experienced a top-ten ranking for spring dryness. March: The effects of February's severe cold wave faded amid March warmth. In fact, consistently cooler-than-normal March weather was limited to areas west of the Rockies, where monthly temperatures averaged as much as 5°F below normal. In contrast, early-spring warmth dominated the central and eastern United States, boosting monthly temperatures at least 5 to 10°F above normal across portions of the northern Plains and upper Midwest. The weather pattern helping to drive that temperature regime-a Western trough and Eastern ridge-helped to suppress the Pacific storm track southward, leading to limited precipitation across the Pacific Coast States. Farther east, however, the same storms were able to tap into abundant moisture while traveling northeastward across the Nation's mid-section, leading to drought- easing rain and snow in central sections of the Rockies and Plains; multiple rounds of heavy rain and severe weather in the Southeast; and periodic Midwestern storminess. Precipitation mostly bypassed several areas, including the drought-affected northern Plains; southern and western Texas; and peninsular Florida. By late March, topsoil moisture was rated at least one-half very short to short in several states, including North Dakota (87 percent), New Mexico (84 percent), Montana (76 percent), South Dakota (66 percent), Florida (59 percent), Texas (55 percent), and Wyoming (55 percent). Rangeland, pastures, and winter wheat across the central Plains and environs benefited from the boost in soil moisture; any flooding was limited by antecedent dryness and unfrozen soils, which allowed much of the rain and melting snow to soak in. By March 28, at least one-half of the winter wheat was rated in good to excellent condition in several Plains States, including Oklahoma (61 percent) and Kansas (50 percent). Wheat across the Midwest and mid-South was also generally faring well, with 70 percent of the Illinois crop rated good to excellent. By late March, Southern planting was mostly progressing at a normal pace, or was ahead of schedule, except in a few areas where lowland flooding and wet soils inhibited fieldwork. By March 28, at least one-half of the intended corn acreage had been planted in Louisiana (74 percent) and Texas (50 percent). On the same date, Louisiana led the Nation in rice planting (43 percent complete), followed by Texas (39 percent). In Arizona, 26 percent of the cotton had been planted by March 28, compared to the 5-year average of 18 percent. During the 4 weeks ending March 30, drought coverage across the contiguous United States fell from 47 to 44 percent, on the strength of improving conditions in the Central States. However, worsening drought was noted in several areas, including the northern Plains and parts of Texas. In the 11-state Western region, drought coverage dipped from 80 to 75 percent, mainly due to improvement in the northern and central Rockies. In contrast, Southeastern flood events were particularly impressive in early March across Kentucky and late in the month in central Tennessee. Severe weather outbreaks, mainly on March 12-13, 16-18, 24-25, 27-28, and 30-31, spawned more than 175 tornadoes, according to preliminary reports-the highest March total since 225 twisters occurred in 2012. April: Despite periodic April rain and snow showers, drought resolutely persisted across much of the western half of the country, with national coverage increasing from 44 to 48 percent during the 4-week period ending April 27, according to the United States Drought Monitor. During the same 4 weeks, drought coverage in the 11-state Western region increased from 75 to 84 percent. In addition, Western coverage of extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) increased by nearly 4 percentage points during April to reach 43 percent. Across roughly the southern two-thirds of the West, a drought complication was premature melting of high-elevation snowpack, which disrupted the natural hydrological cycle and could potentially extend the wildfire season. By May 2, USDA/NASS reported that rangeland and pastures were rated at least 40 percent in very poor to poor condition in 12 of the 17 states from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains, led by Arizona (87 percent very poor to poor). In contrast, pastures were rated at least 70 percent in good to excellent condition in 11 states from the Mississippi Valley eastward. Meanwhile, a pair of April cold snaps threatened a variety of crops and commodities. In the Southeast, early-April freezes caused variable damage to fruits and ornamentals. Several weeks later, more expansive freezes across the Plains and Midwest, as well as parts of the mid-South and interior Southeast, potentially harmed some jointing to heading winter wheat. Other possible adverse freeze impacts from the late-April cold wave included blooming fruits and emerged summer crops. Despite early-April warmth across the Nation's mid-section, subsequent cold weather helped to push monthly temperatures to near- or below-normal levels. Elsewhere, warmer-than-normal weather generally covered the Pacific Coast States, the Great Basin, and the Desert Southwest, as well as an area stretching from the Great Lakes region into the Northeast. Elsewhere, pockets of April dryness covered the Midwest, southern High Plains, and the mid-Atlantic, while heavy precipitation was common across the Deep South, including the Gulf Coast region. Across the northern Plains, rain and snow showers were insufficient to significantly boost soil moisture, while cool weather and dry soils locally hampered crop emergence and early-season pasture growth. May: Frequent rain eased or eradicated drought across the central and southern Plains, benefiting rangeland, pastures, and spring-sown crops, but hampering initial winter wheat harvest efforts. By May 30, Texas' winter wheat harvest was just 18 percent complete, compared with 31 percent at the same time a year ago and the 5-year average of 24 percent. Rain also dampened the northern Plains and the Northwest, but improvements in the drought situation were limited by lingering subsoil moisture shortages and poor rangeland and pasture conditions. Even with the May precipitation, well over one-half of the rangeland and pastures in North Dakota (67 percent) and Montana (56 percent) were rated in very poor to poor condition toward month's end, according to USDA/NASS. Adverse rangeland conditions extended into much of the West, where an additional six states-Arizona, California, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, and Washington-reported very poor to poor ratings ranging from 50 to 88 percent. The poor start to the 2021 growing season extended to predominantly Northern crops such as spring wheat and barley. By May 30, one-fifth (20 percent) of the Nation's spring wheat and 13 percent of the barley were rated in very poor to poor condition. Among major production states, Washington led the country on May 30 in very poor to poor ratings for both crops-51 percent of its spring wheat and 40 percent of its barley. Mainly due to rain across the Plains, national drought coverage decreased from 48 to 44 percent during the 5-week period ending June 1, according to the United States Drought Monitor. During the same 5 weeks, drought coverage in the 11-state Western region decreased slightly from 84 to 82 percent, on the strength of improving conditions across the eastern slopes of the Rockies. However, Western coverage of extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) increased by more than 3 percentage points during May, approaching 47 percent. Western wildfire and water-supply concerns continued to mount, fueled by depleted soil moisture, prematurely melted mountain snow, low reservoir levels, and ample cured vegetation. The middle and southern Atlantic States also experienced May dryness, leading to topsoil moisture shortages and stress on pastures and emerging summer crops. In South Carolina, where topsoil moisture was rated 66 percent very short to short by May 30, more than one-quarter (26 percent) of the cotton and 22 percent of the peanuts were rated in very poor to poor condition. On the same date, topsoil moisture was rated 75 percent very short to short in Georgia, along with 70 percent in Florida. In contrast, wet weather led to fieldwork delays and local flooding from the western Gulf Coast region to the Mississippi Delta, where monthly rainfall totals of 10 to 20 inches or more were common. Louisiana led the Nation on May 30 with topsoil moisture rated 49 percent surplus. May featured numerous temperature swings, though the overall tendency was toward cooler conditions east of the Rockies and warm weather in the West. Some of the coolest May weather, relative to normal, covered the northern High Plains or stretched from the southern Plains into the Ohio Valley and interior Southeast. The hottest conditions (temperatures locally averaging more than 5°F above normal) affected California. Late in the month, freezes were reported in several areas across the Nation's Northern Tier, burning back tender vegetation such as emerged summer crops. Scattered, late-month frost was noted in a broader area across the northern Plains, upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and interior Northeast. Crop Comments Corn: The 2021 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 92.7 million acres, up 2 percent from last year. Growers expect to harvest 84.5 million acres for grain, up 2 percent from last year. Farmers responding to the survey indicated that 98 percent of the intended corn acreage had been planted at the time of the interview, higher than the 10-year average. Record low planted area is estimated in Massachusetts and Rhode Island, while record high planted area is estimated in Arizona, Idaho, and Oregon. By April 11, producers had planted 4 percent of the Nation's corn crop, 1 percentage point ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. By April 25, producers had planted 17 percent of the Nation's corn crop, 7 percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Three percent of the Nation's corn acreage had emerged by April 25, equal to the previous year but 1 percentage point behind the 5-year average.

California acreage at 29,000 is the lowest on record where in Kern County favorable weather conditions were experienced this spring, while water shortages in the Klamath Basin are impacting both California and Oregon growers. Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: The estimates of planted and harvested acreages in this report are based primarily on surveys conducted during the first 2 weeks of June. These surveys are based on a probability area frame survey with a sample of approximately 9,100 segments or parcels of land (average approximately 1 square mile) and a probability list frame survey with a sample of approximately 65,900 farm operators. Enumerators conducting the probability area frame survey contact all farmers having operations within the sampled segments of land and account for their operations. From these data, estimates can be calculated. For the probability list frame survey, data from operators was collected by mail, internet, or telephone to obtain information on these operations. Responses from the probability list frame survey sample plus data from the probability area frame survey sample of operations that were not on the list to be sampled are combined to provide another estimate of planted and harvested acreages. Estimating procedures: National, Regional, State, and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. Each Regional Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). Survey data are compiled to the National level and are reviewed at this level independently of each State's review. Acreage estimates were based on survey data and the historical relationship of official estimates to survey data. Revision policy: 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: The survey used to make acreage estimates is subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. Both types of errors for major crops generally are between 1.0 and 6.0 percent. Sampling errors represent the variability between estimates that would result if many different samples were surveyed at the same time. Sampling errors cannot be applied directly to the acreage published in this report to determine confidence intervals since the official estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source. The relative standard errors from the 2021 list frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 4.9 percent, corn 1.4 percent, Upland cotton 3.1 percent, sorghum 3.6 percent, soybeans 1.3 percent, other spring wheat 4.2 percent, and winter wheat 1.8 percent. The biotechnology estimates are also subject to sampling variability because all operations planting biotech varieties are not included in the sample. The variability for the 48 corn States, as measured by the relative standard error at the United States level, is approximately 1.5 percent for all biotech varieties, 10.9 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties, 5.0 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 1.6 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 3.0 percent for all biotech varieties, 21.8 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 10.0 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 3.2 percent for stacked gene varieties. Variability for the 29 soybean States is approximately 1.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties. Variability for the 17 Upland cotton States is approximately 2.8 percent for all biotech varieties, 19.3 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 13.5 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 3.0 percent for stacked gene varieties. Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly. They may occur due to incorrect reporting and/or recording, data omissions or duplications, and errors in processing. To minimize non-sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are used in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. A method of evaluating the reliability of acreage estimates in this report is the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performances shown below for selected crops. This is computed by expressing the deviations between the planted acreage estimates and the final estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the 2001-2020 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current estimates relative to the final estimates assuming that factors affecting this year's estimate are not different from those influencing the past 20 years. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the corn planted estimate is 1.0 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current corn acreage will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.0 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 1.8 percent. Also, shown in the table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the difference between the mid-year planted acres estimate and the final estimates. Using corn again as an example, changes between the mid-year estimates and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 729,000 acres, ranging from 39,000 acres to 2.01 million acres.
