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 89 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

The cold weather and attendant freezes damaged a variety of crops- including fruits, winter wheat, and emerged summer crops-across portions of the Plains, Midwest, mid-South, and Intermountain West. Ironically, most of the country experienced a mild spring, on average, with warmth concentrated across the West and Deep South, as well as the Atlantic Coast States. Meanwhile, spring wetness was focused in parts of the South, East, and lower Midwest. Although flooding occurred in several regions, the overall magnitude of high-water impacts on agriculture was far less than a year ago, when delayed corn and soybean planting plagued the Midwest. In fact, the Nation's corn planting passed the halfway mark (and was 51 percent complete) on May 3, about 17 days faster than 2019. Similarly, soybeans were more than one-half planted by May 16, some 21 days faster than last year. Nevertheless, spring planting delays were noted in parts of the central and eastern Corn Belt due to wetness; in eastern North Dakota and environs due to lingering muddy conditions and ongoing harvesting of the 2019 corn crop; and across the remainder of the northern Plains due to several weeks of persistently cool weather. In northern and central California, March precipitation provided only temporary relief from an otherwise disappointing 2019-2020 wet season. By the end of spring, drought extended into many other areas of the West, eastward across the Great Basin and into the Four Corners region, and northward into parts of the Northwest. Farther east, winter wheat across the southern half of the Plains was hurt not only by April freezes, but also by developing or intensifying drought. By June 1, nearly one-fifth (19 percent) of the Nation's winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition, led by Colorado (41 percent very poor to poor), Kansas (25 percent), Oregon (24 percent), and Texas (22 percent). Meanwhile, early tropical activity-including Tropical Storms Arthur and Bertha-contributed to a wet pattern in the Southeast. Arthur grazed North Carolina's Outer Banks on May 18, followed by Bertha's arrival in South Carolina on May 27. Although May featured few tornadoes, March and April were very active, with multiple severe-weather outbreaks. In fact, there were 25 tornado-related fatalities in March and 40 in April; with 74 deaths through May, this year has already become the deadliest year for tornado fatalities since 2011. According to the United States Drought Monitor, drought coverage across the Lower 48 States sharply increased from 11.52 to 19.90 percent during the 13-week period from March 3 - June 2. Still, there was minimal drought east of the Mississippi River by June 2, especially after late-spring rainfall eased or eradicated dryness along and near the Gulf Coast. In contrast, end- of spring drought covered 40.09 percent of the 11-state Western region. By early June, extreme drought (D3) covered 19.46 percent of Colorado; 11.63 percent of Kansas; and nearly 5 percent of Oregon and New Mexico. Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information, it was the country's 20th-warmest, 36th-wettest spring during the 126-year period of record. The country's spring average temperature of 52.6°F was 1.7°F above the 1901-2000 mean, while precipitation averaged 8.40 inches (106 percent of normal). Most states had a March-May ranking on the "warm" side of the historical distribution; Montana and North Dakota, with a 61st-coolest spring, were the "coolest" states. Meanwhile, top-ten rankings for spring warmth were observed in Florida, Louisiana, and New Mexico. For Florida, where the average temperature of 73.3°F was 3.8°F above normal, it was the second-warmest spring behind 74.0°F in 2015. Statewide precipitation rankings ranged from the ninth-driest spring in Colorado and North Dakota to the eighth-wettest spring in South Carolina. North Carolina reported its tenth-wettest spring. March: A wet March in California's key watershed areas dented seasonal precipitation deficits and improved the average water equivalency of the Sierra Nevada snowpack from 10 to 15 inches, according to the California Department of Water Resources. However, the 15-inch equivalency on April 1, the traditional peak snowpack date, was barely one-half of normal. Pockets of dryness and drought existed in other areas of the West, including the Four Corners region, the Great Basin, and the Pacific Northwest (excluding western Washington). In contrast, March was a very wet month across the southern tier of the West, stretching from southern California to southern New Mexico. Meanwhile, drought intensified during March along and near the Gulf Coast, including Florida, amid summer-like heat and near-record to record-setting dryness. No measurable rain fell during the month in Florida locations such as Tampa and Lakeland. By March 29, Florida's topsoil moisture was rated 65 percent very short to short, up from 20 percent just 4 weeks earlier. Although the dryness favored planting operations, there was little moisture for germination and establishment. In Texas, 56 percent of the intended rice acreage had been planted by March 29, compared to the 5-year average of 25 percent. While drought worsened in coastal Texas, interior sections of southern Texas received much-needed rain. Many other parts of the country, including the southern Plains and interior South, experienced a wet month, hampering spring fieldwork. By late March, topsoil moisture in Tennessee was rated 60 percent surplus. Early-spring precipitation also plagued much of the Midwest, maintaining soggy conditions in fields and feedlots. Late-March topsoil moisture was rated at least one- half surplus in several Midwestern States, including Ohio (72 percent), Illinois (56 percent), Missouri (56 percent), Indiana (53 percent), and Michigan (50 percent). Farther west, conditions remained mostly favorable on the Plains, where all major winter wheat-production states reported at least one-half of the winter wheat rated in good to excellent condition by late March. Still, pockets of drought on the High Plains adversely affected a portion of the crop, with 27 percent of Colorado's winter wheat rated very poor to poor. In North Dakota, the corn harvest was 75 percent complete by the end of March, although a mild, mostly dry month allowed for orderly melting of snow that had been on the ground in the eastern part of the state since Thanksgiving. In fact, warmer-than-normal March weather dominated areas from the Plains to the East Coast, with temperatures averaging at least 5°F above normal across much of the southern and eastern United States. Conversely, cooler-than-normal conditions covered the West, particularly across southern California and the Desert Southwest. April: April freezes, following a warm March, threatened several crops. Among the most vulnerable commodities were alfalfa, blooming fruits, and jointing to heading winter wheat. Some of the greatest mid-April freeze impacts on wheat occurred on the central and southern Plains, while specialty crops across the Plains, Midwest, Northeast, Intermountain West, and mid-South underwent assessment to determine the extent, if any, of freeze injury. Late in the month, chilly conditions lingered in most areas east of the Mississippi River, while warmth developed and expanded across the western and central United States. The warmth opened many opportunities for fieldwork, including planting activities, across the Plains and western and central Corn Belt. Periods of dry weather also favored many Western planting efforts. However, drought developed or intensified during April in several areas, leaving topsoil moisture short in parts of northern and central California, the Great Basin, and the Northwest. Washington led the Far West on April 26 with topsoil moisture rated 47 percent very short to short, followed by Oregon at 43 percent. Amid early-season heat, drought also worsened (for much of the month) across the Deep South, including Florida, southern Texas, and areas along the immediate Gulf Coast. However, late-month showers provided some relief, especially in parts of Florida. Meanwhile, frequent downpours and locally severe thunderstorms maintained soggy conditions and perpetuated fieldwork delays across the interior South. By April 26, topsoil moisture was rated 44 to 55 percent surplus in Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Some of the worst outbreaks of severe weather occurred on April 12-13, 19-20, and 22-23, with preliminary reports from the National Weather Service identifying 40 tornado-related fatalities across eight Southern States, including 13 deaths in Mississippi, nine in South Carolina, and eight in Georgia. Wetness (and fieldwork delays) extended into the eastern Corn Belt, although some Midwestern areas dried out enough late in the month to support a rapid planting pace. During the 7-day period ending April 26, more than one-third of the intended corn acreage was planted in Minnesota (39 percent) and Iowa (37 percent). In contrast, corn planting had not yet begun on that date in North Dakota and was only 3 percent complete in Michigan and Ohio. On April 26, Ohio led the Midwest with topsoil moisture rated 46 percent surplus. Farther west, however, pockets of drought persisted across the central and southern High Plains and the Southwest. By late April, topsoil moisture was rated 63 percent very short to short in New Mexico, along with 49 percent in Texas and 47 percent in Colorado. In some instances, poor winter wheat conditions were related to a variety of factors, including poor autumn establishment (due to early cold snaps); drought; and spring freezes. On April 26, Colorado led the Nation (among major production states) with winter wheat rated 34 percent very poor to poor, followed by Kansas at 20 percent. May: Through the first half of the month, below-normal temperatures and occasional Midwestern freezes continued to threaten a variety of commodities, including fruits, winter wheat, and emerged summer crops. The prolonged period of cool weather, which began in mid-April, peaked across the Midwest and Northeast on May 9-10. In freeze-affected areas, crops were monitored for injury, which was reportedly highly variable due to differences in freeze severity, crop stage, and-where applicable-effectiveness of protective measures. Late in the month, an early-season heatwave replaced previously cool conditions in the Midwest and Northeast, while hot weather expanded and intensified across the West. Meanwhile, two tropical storms-Arthur and Bertha-formed prior to official June 1 start of the Atlantic hurricane season, with both producing heavy rain in portions of the southern and middle Atlantic States. (At least one named storm has developed before June 1 in each of the last 6 years.) By the end of May, North Carolina led the Nation in topsoil moisture rated surplus- 63 percent-followed by South Carolina at 48 percent. Pockets of excessive wetness also persisted or developed from the northern Mississippi Delta into the southern and eastern Corn Belt. Arkansas led the mid-South on May 31 with topsoil moisture rated 42 percent surplus, while Michigan paced the Midwest at 38 percent. Mid-month downpours contributed to Midwestern flooding and fieldwork delays, with the most significant problems occurring from northern and central Illinois into portions of Michigan. In contrast, planting continued at a rapid pace across the western Corn Belt, except in an area centered on eastern North Dakota. By May 31, corn planting across the United States was 93 percent complete, compared to just 64 percent a year ago and the 5-year average of 89 percent. Similarly, three-quarters of the Nation's soybean crop was planted by the end of May, well ahead of last year's pace (36 percent) and the average of 68 percent. During the 5-week period ending June 2, drought coverage across the contiguous United States expanded from 15 to 20 percent. Most of the increase occurred from the High Plains westward, while only small areas of drought existed across the eastern half of the country. In fact, May rainfall eased or eradicated drought across the Deep South from southern Texas to Florida. Some drying occurring during May in the Northeast, although impacts were tempered by several weeks of cool weather. Farther west, however, extreme drought (D3) covered more than 19 percent of Colorado, along with nearly 5 percent of New Mexico and Oregon; about 3 percent of Kansas and California; and 2 percent of Oklahoma. By May 31, topsoil moisture was rated at least one-half very short to short in New Mexico (78 percent), Colorado (63 percent), California (60 percent), and Utah (59 percent). On the same date, rangeland and pastures were rated 30 to 40 percent very poor to poor in California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregon. Finally, more than one-fifth of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition at the end of May in Colorado (41 percent), Kansas (25 percent), Oregon (24 percent), and Texas (22 percent). Crop Comments Corn: The 2020 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 92.0 million acres, up 3 percent from last year. Growers expect to harvest 84.0 million acres for grain, up 3 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.

Demand for cotton has declined due to increased supply and lower prices. The only State showing an increase compared with last year is Kansas where acreage increased 20,000 acres from last year to a record high 195,000 acres. In California, low cotton prices and decreased water availability impacted planting decisions for the 2020 cotton crop. Compared with last year, planted acreage of Upland cotton is down 14,000 acres to a record low and planted area for American Pima cotton is down 39,000 acres. In Texas, extremely high winds reportedly blowing at more than 40 mph for extended periods of time caused blowing sand to scorch fields in several counties earlier this month.

Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: The estimates of planted and harvested acreages in this report are based primarily on a probability list frame survey conducted during the first 2 weeks of June. This survey was based on a sample of approximately 70,900 farm operators. For the probability list frame survey, data from operators was collected by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on these operations. 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 2020 list frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 5.4 percent, corn 1.3 percent, Upland cotton 3.1 percent, sorghum 4.5 percent, soybeans 1.2 percent, other spring wheat 4.7 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 1.3 percent for all biotech varieties, 6.5 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties, 3.6 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 1.4 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 2.6 percent for all biotech varieties, 13.0 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 7.2 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 2.8 percent for stacked gene varieties. Variability for the 29 soybean States is approximately 1.2 percent for herbicide resistant varieties. Variability for the 17 Upland cotton States is approximately 3.0 percent for all biotech varieties, 15.4 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 10.6 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 2.9 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 2000-2019 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 1.7 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 673,000 acres, ranging from 28,000 acres to 2.01 million acres.
