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.

Spring Weather Summary Highlights: The continuation of El Niño through the Northern Hemisphere spring contributed to an excessively wet pattern across much of the United States. Drought coverage dipped to a Drought Monitor-era record low of 2.28 percent on April 23. Subsequently, drought coverage in the continental United States increased to 5.28 percent by June 4, courtesy of increasingly dry conditions in parts of the Southeast and Pacific Northwest. By the end of spring, developing drought also extended south of the Canadian border into parts of Montana and North Dakota. However, the more significant agricultural and hydrological story during the spring of 2019 was the incessant wetness across large sections of the mid-South, Midwest, Plains, and West. Flooding began early in the spring, when a mid-March storm delivered heavy precipitation across the western Corn Belt atop frozen soils and an extensive snow cover. In parts of the middle Missouri Valley and environs, record-high water levels engulfed communities and agricultural land-and led to the March 14 destruction of the Spencer Dam along the Niobrara River in northern Nebraska. Flooding returned to parts of the Plains and Midwest starting in late April, as frequent storms dumped copious rainfall. Major flooding persisted for 2 months (62 days from March 16 - May 16) along the Mississippi River at Burlington, IA, breaking the 1993 record of 41 consecutive days. In late May and early June, record flooding affected the Arkansas River in Oklahoma and Arkansas, while the Mississippi River between Quincy, Illinois, and Chester, Missouri, climbed to its second-highest level on record, behind 1993. In addition to the high river levels, which caused extensive closings and delays for barges and other waterway traffic, extensive wetness resulted in a record-slow planting pace for the Nation's corn, soybeans, and rice. By June 2, only 67 percent of the intended corn acreage and 39 percent of the soybeans had been planted, compared to the 1995 records of 77 and 40 percent, respectively. Across the Plains and upper Midwest, cool spring weather (as much as 2 to 4°F below normal) accompanied the relentless precipitation. In fact, some northern crop production areas experienced frequent snow through the end of April. In contrast, spring temperatures averaged more than 2°F above normal in the southern Atlantic States. Historical Perspective: The National Centers for Environmental Information reported that the meteorological spring of 2019 was very wet with variable temperatures. For the Lower 48 States, it was the sixth-wettest spring during the 125-year period of record, behind 1957, 1973, 1983, 1991, and 1995. With an average of 9.85 inches (124 percent of normal), it was the Nation's wettest spring since 1995, when 9.92 inches fell. Meanwhile, the Nation's spring average temperature of 50.9°F was less than 0.1°F below the 20th century mean. It was the coolest spring since 2013, and the 62nd-coolest spring going back to 1895. State temperature rankings ranged from the ninth-coolest spring in South Dakota to the seventh-warmest spring in Delaware and South Carolina. Top-ten rankings for spring warmth were also observed in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, South Carolina, and Virginia. Meanwhile, state precipitation rankings ranged from the 13th-driest spring in Washington to the wettest spring on record in Kansas. In addition to Kansas, top-ten rankings for spring wetness were noted in two Western States (Nevada and Utah); three Plains States (Nebraska, Oklahoma, and South Dakota); and five Midwestern States (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, and Wisconsin). March: Historic flooding engulfed parts of the middle Missouri Valley, following a mid-March storm that maximized runoff due to rapidly melting snow and heavy rain falling on still-frozen soils. The storm also blasted areas from eastern Colorado into parts of the Dakotas with blizzard conditions, greatly stressing livestock. Mostly tranquil weather trailed the powerhouse storm, allowing recovery efforts to begin. Prior to the storm's arrival, winter-like cold gripped most of the country. In fact, record-setting low temperatures blanketed the northern Plains and upper Midwest, while frigid conditions also persisted in the Northwest. Periods of warmth developed in most areas as the month progressed, but March temperatures averaged at least 10°F below normal across portions of the northern Plains. Above-normal monthly temperatures were mostly limited to the lower Southeast and parts of the Southwest. However, the Southeast also experienced a sharp cold spell in early March, following a warm February. Much of the Deep South noted drier-than-normal weather, favoring spring planting efforts. March precipitation was also lacking from the Pacific Northwest to the northernmost Rockies, leading to water-supply concerns in the northern Cascades and neighboring areas. However, large sections of the West-especially from the Sierra Nevada to the central Rockies-continued to benefit from widespread precipitation and favorable runoff prospects. By late March, the California Department of Water Resources reported that the average water equivalency of the Sierra Nevada snowpack stood at 45 inches, approximately 160 percent of the normal peak value. Farther east, drier-than-normal March weather covered large sections of the eastern United States, allowing previously wet fields to begin drying out in preparation for spring planting. Elsewhere, many rivers across the northern Plains and upper Midwest experienced significant rises in late March, as an extensive snow cover began to melt. However, mostly dry weather prevailed across the northern United States late in the month, leading to an orderly start to the melt season. April: Most of the country remained wet in April, with drought coverage across the Lower 48 States reaching a modern-era record low of 2.28 percent late in the month, according to the Drought Monitor. As a result, soggy soils disrupted planting activities in a multitude of regions, including the northern and southern Plains, the Mississippi Delta, and much of the Midwest and Northwest. In addition, runoff from rain and melting snow led to widespread lowland flooding, especially in the eastern Dakotas and the Mississippi Valley. By April 28, only 15 percent of the intended corn acreage had been planted- the slowest early-season planting pace since 2013, when 5 percent had been sown on that date. Meanwhile, spring wheat planting progress was extremely slow for the second year in a row, with just 13 percent of the crop planted by April 28. Other recent years with sluggish April spring wheat planting progress included 2011 (8 percent planted by the 28th), 2018 (9 percent), and 2013 (12 percent). Only a few regions, such as the central Plains and the lower Southeast, received near- or below-normal April precipitation. In those areas, planting progressed at a slightly faster pace. In California and the Desert Southwest, seasonably dry weather favored an acceleration of fieldwork, following some early-season planting delays. One of the month's most impressive storms struck the upper Midwest from April 10-12, resulting in blizzard conditions due to wind-driven snow that locally accumulated to a depth of 1 to 2 feet or more. Additional Midwestern snow fell as late as April 27, helping to lower soil temperatures and further delay the onset of widespread spring fieldwork. Cooler-than-normal conditions lingered for much of the month across the Nation's northern tier, while above-normal April temperatures dominated California, the Great Basin, the Four Corners States, and much of the eastern United States. May: Merciless rains pounded the Plains and Midwest, triggering new rounds of flooding and leading to a record-slow planting pace for the Nation's corn and soybeans. By June 2, only 67 percent of the Nation's corn and 39 percent of the soybeans had been planted, breaking 1995 records of 77 and 40 percent, respectively. Late in the month, record flooding developed in the Arkansas River Basin, while rivers in parts of the mid-Mississippi Valley surged to their second-highest levels on record, behind 1993. The incessantly wet conditions were accompanied by significantly below-normal temperatures, resulting in developmental delays and quality concerns with respect to winter wheat. Furthermore, late-planted summer crops were slow to emerge and become established amid the cool, rainy conditions. Unseasonably wet weather extended into parts of the West. From California into the Four Corners States, cooler-than-normal conditions accompanied the frequent showers, slowing fieldwork and crop development. In contrast, warmer- and drier-than-normal weather stretched from the Pacific Northwest to the northernmost Rockies, fostering some drought expansion. Meanwhile, hot, dry weather developed in the Southeast, particularly in the southern Atlantic States, substantially reducing soil moisture and increasing stress on summer crops, such as corn. A late-month Southeastern hot spell boosted temperatures to 100°F or higher in many locations, contributing to further drought intensification. Elsewhere, showers that fell in the Nation's mid-section often swept into the Northeast, maintaining soggy conditions in the latter region. However, precipitation mostly bypassed some locations along the Canadian border, stretching as far east as northern Minnesota, leaving a sharp gradient between that area and saturated sections of the Plains and Midwest just to the south. Crop Comments Corn: The 2019 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 91.7 million acres, up 3 percent from last year. Growers expect to harvest 83.6 million acres for grain, up 2 percent from last year.

Record low planted area is estimated in Nebraska, New Jersey, and Ohio. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 24.9 million acres, down 1 percent from the previous forecast but up 1 percent from last year. This represents the second lowest harvested acreage on record for the United States. Harvested acres are down from last year across the central Great Plains, the primary wheat-producing area, and much of the soft red wheat producing area due to the reduction in planted acreage. Record low harvested area is expected in New Jersey, Ohio, and Virginia. In the Southern Great Plains (Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas) harvested area is forecast at 11.6 million acres, the same as last year. As of June 23, harvest was 15 percent complete, 19 percentage points behind the 5-year average pace.

Nebraska and South Dakota planted acreage is down from last year, while acreage in Colorado is up. Hay: Producers intend to harvest 52.8 million acres of all hay in 2019, down less than 1 percent from 2018. If realized, this will represent the lowest total hay harvested area since 1908. The decrease in acreage is due to a 1 percent decrease in all other hay (excluding alfalfa) acreage compared to 2018. Acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures are expected to be up 1 percent compared with 2018. Record low all hay harvested area is expected in California, Illinois, Maine, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia in 2019.

As of June 2, nineteen percent of the acreage had been planted, 27 percentage points behind last year's pace and 25 percentage points behind the 5-year average. At that time, planting progress was behind normal in the four major sunflower-producing States of Colorado, Kansas, North Dakota, and South Dakota. As of June 2, planting in South Dakota had not started due to excessive moisture and flooding this spring, compared with the 5-year average of 33 percent complete by that date. All four States made good progress in June, with planting progress reaching 85 percent complete by June 23, five percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As of June 23, seventy-eight percent of the acreage in North Dakota was rated in good to excellent condition. Canola: Planted area of canola is estimated at 2.02 million acres in 2019, up 1 percent from last year's planted area and represents the second highest planted area on record for the Nation. Compared with last year, planted area increased or remained unchanged in four of the six major canola-producing States, with acreage declines only estimated in Kansas and Oklahoma. Acreage in Oklahoma, at 35,000 acres, is the lowest since 2009, the first year estimates were published for the State. Planted area in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is up 7 percent from last year. Planted area in North Dakota and Washington are record highs and the area forecast for harvest in both States will be record highs, if realized. Beginning in 2019, canola estimates were discontinued in Idaho and Oregon. Flaxseed: Area planted to flaxseed in 2019 is estimated at 355,000 acres, up 147,000 acres, or 71 percent from 2018. The harvested area is forecast at 340,000 acres, up 142,000 acres, or 72 percent from last year. Planted acreage in North Dakota, the largest flaxseed-producing State, is up 76 percent from 2018. Flaxseed planting was slow to begin due to cold, wet soil conditions in May. Conditions improved during June, allowing planting progress to advance to 95 percent complete by June 9. Beginning in 2019, flaxseed estimates were discontinued in South Dakota. Safflower: Area planted to safflower is estimated at 153,000 acres in 2019, down 3 percent for comparable States in 2018. This is the second lowest planted area for the Nation since records began in 1991. Area for harvest is forecast at 145,500 acres, down 1 percent for comparable States from last year.

Upland area is estimated at 13.4 million acres, down 3 percent from 2018. American Pima area is estimated at 275,000 acres, up 10 percent from 2018. Compared with last year, 10 States increased planted area, with the largest increase in Arkansas. Upland cotton planted area in Kansas represents a record high for the State. Compared with the previous year, five States planted fewer Upland cotton acres in 2019, including California. Upland cotton planted area is a record low in California. In California, planting started a little behind schedule due to rain and cooler spring temperatures. Weather conditions in May slowed crop progress and led to concerns of high insect pressure. Some farmers reported switching from Upland to Pima. In Georgia, rainfall received in early June proved to be beneficial but farmers were hoping for more frequent rains to hold off worsening drought conditions. In Texas, wet conditions and hail caused concerns in areas of the Northern and Southern High Plains. By June 23, ninety-six percent of the Nation's acreage had been planted, 3 percentage points behind the same time last year. By June 23, thirty percent of the acreage was squaring, one percentage point behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. As of June 23, fifty percent of the acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with forty- two percent rated in these two categories at the same time last year. Producers planted 98 percent of their acreage with seed varieties developed using biotechnology, up 4 percentage points from last year. Varieties containing insect resistance (Bt) were planted on 3 percent of the acreage, the same as last year. Herbicide resistant varieties were planted on 6 percent of the acreage, down 3 percentage points from 2018. Stacked gene varieties, those contacting both insect and herbicide resistance, were planted on 89 percent of the acreage, up 7 percentage points from a year ago. Hops: Hop acreage strung for harvest in 2019 for Washington, Oregon, and Idaho is forecast at a record high 57,339 acres, 4 percent more than last year's previous record of 55,035 acres. Washington, with 41,263 acres for harvest, accounts for 72 percent of the total United States acreage. Idaho area strung for harvest was 8,570 acres, or 15 percent of the United States total. Oregon hop growers accounted for the remaining 13 percent, or 7,506 acres. Acreage increased from last year in Idaho and Washington.

Harvested area is forecast at 1.11 million acres, up 1 percent from last year. The crop was well established with no major problems in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. Minnesota growers experienced a difficult spring with drowned out areas that likely will not get planted. Sugarcane: Harvested area of sugarcane for sugar and seed in the United States is forecast at 916,400 acres for the 2019 crop year, up 2 percent from last year. Early fieldwork in Louisiana was delayed by a wet spring, but recent dry weather allowed growers to catch up. Texas acreage decreased from the previous year due to plow outs exceeding plantings last fall. Tobacco: United States all tobacco area for harvest in 2019 is expected to total 235,820 acres, down 19 percent from 2018. If realized, this will be the lowest tobacco acres harvested on record.

Large chickpea area harvested is forecast at 425,300 acres, a 32 percent decline from 2018. Montana experienced relatively cool and wet weather during April with mixed, but drier, conditions during May. Early spring planting and crop emergence were delayed in areas due to wet soil and cool temperatures. By the end of May, several northern county reporters noted hot temperatures and high winds quickly dried soil out and rain was needed. In California, planting for chickpeas was completed in June. Beginning in 2019, chickpea estimates were discontinued in Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Texas, and Wyoming. Lentils: Area planted for the 2019 crop year is estimated at 535,000 acres, down 31 percent from 2018. Area forecasted to be harvested, at 508,000 acres, is down 29 percent from the 2018 season. Idaho's planted acres are the highest since 2010. As of the week ending June 23, ninety-three percent of the lentils in Montana had emerged, behind the five-year average of 97 percent.

Harvested area is forecast at 959,600 acres, slightly above comparable States from the previous year. Idaho's winter lasted longer than the previous year and slowed the development of potatoes in areas of the State. As of June 16, seventy- five percent of the potato crop had emerged, behind the 5-year average of 92 percent. Winter and spring precipitation in Washington was good. North Dakota's planting began in late April, ahead of the 2018 pace but behind the 5-year average. It advanced ahead of the 5-year average half-way through the planting season. Beginning in 2019, potato estimates were discontinued in Alaska, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia. 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 9,000 segments or parcels of land (average approximately 1 square mile) and a probability list frame survey with a sample of approximately 68,100 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, telephone, or personal interview 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 2019 area frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 9.8 percent, corn 1.2 percent, Upland cotton 3.0 percent, sorghum 8.6 percent, soybeans 1.3 percent, other spring wheat 4.1 percent, and winter wheat 2.2 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 0.3 percent for all biotech varieties, 6.9 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties, 3.2 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 0.5 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 0.6 percent for all biotech varieties, 13.8 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 6.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.0 percent for stacked gene varieties. Variability for the 29 soybean States is approximately 0.3 percent for herbicide resistant varieties. Variability for the 17 Upland cotton States is approximately 0.2 percent for all biotech varieties, 12.6 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 8.2 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 0.6 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 1998-2017 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 0.9 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 0.9 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 1.5 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 572,000 acres, ranging from 1,000 acres to 2.01 million acres. The mid-year planted acres have been below the final estimate 5 times and above 15 times. This does not imply that the mid-year planted estimate this year is likely to understate or overstate the final estimate.
