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, 88 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 90 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

Spring Weather Review Highlights: Drought coverage hit a 9-year high, peaking at 61.11 percent of the continental United States on March 8, according to the Drought Monitor. The last time national drought coverage exceeded 60 percent had been January 8, 2013, when the country was just starting to emerge from a record- breaking drought that had blanketed 65.45 percent of the Lower 48 States at its peak on September 25, 2012. Subsequently, drought coverage fell to 49.30 percent by May 31, as a La Niña-driven storm track eased or eradicated drought across the North, as well as the mid-South, Mississippi Delta, and eastern sections of the central and southern Plains. As a result, the Nation's second-longest modern stretch with 50 percent drought coverage ended at 27 weeks (November 23, 2021 - May 24, 2022). In the 21st century, the longest streak with more than half of the country affected by drought lasted 42 weeks, from June 26, 2012 - April 9, 2013. Even with the reduction in drought coverage, serious impacts persisted from Oregon and California to southern sections of the Rockies and Plains. For example, spring rangeland and pasture conditions were the lowest of the 21st century, breaking a record set in 2021. National conditions slightly improved during May, with rangeland and pastures rated very poor to poor decreasing from 56 to 46 percent between May 1 and 29. Meanwhile, national winter wheat conditions remained nearly steady, as late-spring rainfall arrived too late to benefit the crop in many of the central and southern Plains' production areas. Nationally, 40 percent of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition at the end of May. Significant drought implications, including low reservoir levels and depleted soil moisture, persisted in the Southwest. In addition, numerous early-season wildfires raged across the Four Corners States, especially in New Mexico. By mid-June, the two largest wildfires in modern New Mexico history-the Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire and the Black Fire-had charred more than 340,000 and 315,000 acres, respectively. Until this year, New Mexico's largest fire had been the Whitewater-Baldy Complex, which scorched 297,845 acres in May-July 2012. In stark contrast, the planting season progressed at a record-slow pace in parts of the north-central United States and proceeded sluggishly in the Midwest, amid frequent storms and periods of cold weather. By May 8, only 22 percent of the Nation's intended corn acreage had been seeded. Although planting conditions eventually improved across the heart of the Midwest, with an additional 64 percent of the national corn acreage planted during the 3 weeks ending May 29, major delays persisted in Minnesota and North Dakota. Those planting delays extended to other Northern crops, including spring wheat (73 percent planted, nationally, by May 29) and sugarbeets (75 percent, a record-slow pace for that date). Among 21st century years, only 2011 featured a slower spring wheat planting pace by May 29. Cool spring conditions also dominated the Northwest, allowing rangeland and pastures to begin recovering from long-term drought but slowing the development of winter wheat and spring-sown crops. In addition, Northwestern mountains retained considerable high-elevation snowpack, setting the stage for a record-setting flood along the Yellowstone River when heavy rain and warmer conditions arrived in mid-June. Elsewhere, less extreme conditions covered the eastern United States, although warmer-than-normal spring weather prevailed. In addition, pockets of dryness expanded during spring, mainly from Georgia to the Carolinas and in coastal New England. Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information, the spring of 2022 featured generally warm, wet conditions, with notable exceptions. The national average temperature of 52.2°F was 1.3°F above the 1901-2000 mean, while precipitation averaged 8.07 inches-102 percent of normal. It was the seventh time in the last 8 years-all but 2019-with a top-thirty ranking for spring warmth, based on 128 years of records. However, several Northern States experienced below-average temperatures, led by Washington with its 19th-coolest spring. Conversely, top-ten rankings for spring warmth were noted in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas, along with seven Atlantic Coast States. Meanwhile, state precipitation rankings ranged from the sixth-driest spring in New Mexico to the fourth-wettest spring in North Dakota. Elsewhere, it was the tenth-driest spring in Arizona, but the sixth-wettest spring in Minnesota. March: Drier-than-normal March weather in many areas of the West capped an extremely disappointing winter wet season, leaving key agricultural regions facing significant impacts-including low reservoir levels, reductions in water allocations, depleted soil moisture, and poor rangeland and pasture conditions-from a third consecutive year of drought. Notably, the water equivalency of the Sierra Nevada snowpack-hovering near 16 inches (just under two-thirds of the March 1 average) as the month began-shriveled to around 11 inches (about 40 percent of the end-of-season average) by March 31. An early-season Western heat wave, which peaked during the week of March 20-26, contributed to the loss of high-elevation snowpack due to melting and evaporation. Meanwhile, significant drought impacts extended across portions of the Nation's mid-section, where similar conditions to those observed in the West led to stress on rangeland, pastures, and winter grains. By April 3, topsoil moisture on the Plains rated very short to short ranged from 46 percent in North Dakota to 96 percent in Montana. On the same date, Texas led the southern Plains with topsoil moisture rated 80 percent very short to short. Winter wheat conditions also reflected the Plains' drought, with 81 percent of Texas' crop rated in very poor to poor condition by April 3. At least one-quarter of the wheat was rated very poor to poor on that date in several other states, including Oklahoma (44 percent), Colorado (39 percent), Montana (37 percent), and Kansas (30 percent). Nationally, 36 percent of the winter wheat was rated very poor to poor on April 3-the highest amount in the first condition report of the season since April 7, 1996, when 40 percent was rated very poor to poor. Numerous large wildfires flared during March across the central and southern Plains, driven by howling winds and fed by ample freeze- and drought-cured vegetation. Among the largest wildfires was the Eastland Complex (multiple fires, beginning on March 17, combined for management purposes), which collectively scorched 54,513 acres of vegetation and destroyed more than 150 structures, many of them homes in the community of Carbon, Texas. Later in the month, 30,000- to 50,000-acre blazes included the Washita River Fire near Durham, Oklahoma; the Borrega Fire west of Kingsville, Texas; the Canadian River Bottom Fire southwest of Canadian, Texas; and the Crittenburg Complex at Fort Hood, Texas. In contrast, wetter-than-normal conditions were common during March from the Mississippi Valley eastward, with a few exceptions. By April 3, Midwestern topsoil moisture ranged from one-third to more than one-half surplus in Michigan (53 percent surplus), Indiana (42 percent), Illinois (42 percent), and Ohio (37 percent). Pockets of wetness extended into the South, resulting in mostly minor fieldwork and planting delays. Elsewhere, several episodes of severe weather accompanied occasional thunderstorms. Impressive, early-season tornado outbreaks struck various regions on March 5-6, 21-23, and 29-31, resulting in a preliminary national monthly count of approximately 250 tornadoes-a potential monthly record. One of the worst outbreaks started on March 5, when a rash of tornadoes in Iowa- unusual that far north so early in the year-resulted in seven fatalities in Madison and Lucas Counties. March warmth was most prevalent in the East and West, with cooler conditions more common across the Nation's mid-section. However, persistently cold weather was limited to the upper Great Lakes region, where monthly temperatures generally averaged 2 to 4°F below normal. In contrast, similar positive temperature departures (2 to 4°F above normal) were observed in the East and Far West. April: A resurgent La Niña helped to fuel an active storm track, resulting in cool, wet conditions across much of the Nation's northern tier. April temperatures generally averaged at least 4°F below normal from eastern Washington into the upper Great Lakes region and were more than 8°F below normal in parts of North Dakota. The heaviest precipitation, relative to normal, fell across the northern Plains, where several rounds of heavy rain and wind-driven snow eased or eradicated drought. In fact, moderate to major flooding developed late in the month in the Red River Valley, north of Fargo, North Dakota. Meanwhile, severe thunderstorms frequently accompanied several strong cold fronts crossing the Plains, Midwest, and South, with most of the month's more than 200 tornadoes-based on preliminary reports-occurring on April 4-6, 11-13, 22-23, and 29-30. Dozens of tornadoes were spotted on April 5 from Mississippi to South Carolina, followed by an impressive, early-season Midwestern tornado outbreak on April 12 from eastern Nebraska to southeastern Minnesota. The South endured another significant tornado outbreak on April 12-13, while severe weather across the Plains peaked on April 22 and 29. Despite late-month thunderstorms across the Nation's mid-section, drought continued to intensity across the southern half of the High Plains, amid sharp temperature fluctuations, periodic high winds, and occasional blowing dust. Nearly half (43 percent) of the Nation's winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition on May 1, the greatest amount in those two categories at that time of year since April-May 1996. In addition, more than half (56 percent) of the Nation's rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition on May 1, very close to the record-high value of the last quarter-century-59 percent very poor to poor for several weeks in late-summer 2012. Despite the worsening Southwestern situation, which included several large, destructive wildfires, national drought coverage decreased 4 percentage points, from 58 to 54 percent, during the 5-week period ending May 3. Most of the reduction in drought coverage occurred in the North and parts of the South, including the southeastern Plains and the Mississippi Delta. Farther west, early-season wildfires in Arizona and New Mexico burned hundreds of thousands of acres of vegetation and destroyed hundreds of homes. In northeastern New Mexico, near Las Vegas, the Calf Canyon Fire merged with an escaped prescribed burn, destroying at least 900 structures. Elsewhere, cool, damp Midwestern conditions limited April fieldwork, leading to a sluggish planting pace for corn and soybeans. By May 1, topsoil moisture ranged from 24 to 40 percent surplus in all Midwestern States except Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota. On the same date, only 14 percent of the intended national corn acreage had been planted, well behind the 5-year average pace of 33 percent. This represented the slowest planting pace since 2013, when only 8 percent of the corn had been planted by May 1. May: In late May, national drought coverage fell below 50 percent for the first time since November 2021, according to the Drought Monitor, but serious drought concerns persisted in many areas from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains. For example, drought continued to ravage much of the Plains' winter wheat, with the crop maturing in southern production areas amid ongoing drought and periods of extreme heat. By May 29, more than one-quarter of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition in each of the Plains' major production states, ranging from 26 percent in Montana and South Dakota to 80 percent in Texas. Nationally, 40 percent of the winter wheat was rated very poor to poor on May 29, with harvest already underway in the South. Despite the drought, May thunderstorms-featuring high winds, large hail, and isolated tornadoes-peppered the Plains. Storms extended into other regions, including the Midwest, South, and East. One of the most extensive severe- weather outbreaks occurred on May 12, when a derecho spanned hundreds of miles from eastern Nebraska into central Minnesota, spawning dozens of tornadoes and resulting in localized wind gusts above 100 mph. Due to late planting and emergence, the primarily agricultural impact from the May 12 high-wind event was damage to farm buildings and equipment. Another outbreak on May 30 struck a similar area, from Nebraska to Minnesota. Despite the almost-daily frequency of severe weather in May 2022, preliminary reports indicated that only slightly more than 200 tornadoes occurred, nationally- well below the final counts of 2003, 2004, and 2019, all of which featured more than 500 twisters. Meanwhile, the Southwest endured a difficult May, amid worsening drought and periods of extreme heat. In addition, several high-wind events fanned early- season wildfires, which included New Mexico's largest blaze in modern history. The Hermits Peak Fire, an escaped prescribed burn from April 6 near Las Vegas, New Mexico, joined with the Calf Canyon Fire-a holdover (or sleeper) fire that reemerged on April 19, following about 3 months of dormancy-burned well over 300,000 acres of vegetation by early June. Another huge wildfire, the Black Fire in southwestern New Mexico, was ignited on May 14 and was only about 50 percent contained by early June. In contrast, many Midwestern producers contended with too much rain and soggy field conditions, leading to extensive planting delays. Elsewhere, cooler-than-normal conditions were prevalent from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Intermountain West and northern sections of the Rockies and Plains, while near- or above-normal temperatures covered the remainder of the country. In portions of central Texas, early-season heat boosted May temperatures at least 6°F above normal. Temperatures averaged 2 to 4°F above normal in parts of the Northeast. Conversely, Northwestern readings averaged at least 2 to 4°F below normal. On May 21-22, a late-season freeze extending as far south and east as Nebraska resulted in some damage to winter grains and spring-sown crops, although concerns for the latter were limited by late planting and slow emergence. Crop Comments Corn: The 2022 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 89.9 million acres, down 4 percent from last year. Growers expect to harvest 81.9 million acres for grain, down 4 percent from last year. Record low planted area is estimated in Rhode Island.

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 64,200 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 2022 area frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 10.8 percent, corn 1.2 percent, Upland cotton 3.1 percent, sorghum 7.9 percent, soybeans 1.2 percent, other spring wheat 4.7 percent, and winter wheat 2.4 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 0.4 percent for all biotech varieties, 8.9 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties, 4.2 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 0.7 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 0.8 percent for all biotech varieties, 17.8 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 8.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.4 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 1.8 percent for all biotech varieties, 17.3 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 14.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.7 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 2002-2021 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 750,000 acres, ranging from 39,000 acres to 2.01 million acres.
