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 86 percent of
all corn planted acres, 89 percent of all soybean planted acres, and
90 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

Spring Weather Summary
Highlights: Despite an overall balmy spring regime, which included the
Nation's warmest March on record, episodic cold events caused extensive harm
in several agricultural sectors. Notably, April cold snaps resulted in damage
to winter wheat on the central High Plains and devastated many specialty
crops, including wine grapes and other blooming fruits, in portions of the
middle Atlantic and Great Lakes States.
Other spring highlights included drought coverage across the Lower 48 States
topping 60 percent for the first time since 2022; an active start to the
severe weather season, with a combined total of more than 500 tornadoes in
March and April-and nearly 700 for the entire 3-month period; and numerous
wildfires, especially on the Plains in March and across the Southeast in
April. Regarding drought, coverage exceeded 60 percent during an 8-week
period April 7 to May 26. Previously, in the 27-year history of the
U.S. Drought Monitor, drought coverage greater than 60 percent had occurred
only thirty times-25 weeks in 2012-13 and 5 weeks in 2022. This spring's
drought coverage peaked at 62.78 percent on April 21, the greatest at any
time of year since November 1, 2022.
Although spring flooding was limited to a few areas, consequential high water
affected portions of the Great Lakes States, especially during April. Spring
fieldwork was broadly delayed in the Great Lakes region, while impoundments
such as Michigan's Cheboygan Lock and Dam Complex were severely strained by
flooding that peaked in mid-April. Outside the Midwest, spring flooding was
infrequent and mostly limited to flashy events, following isolated downpours.
Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the
National Centers for Environmental Information, the contiguous United States
overall experienced a very warm and often dry spring, with a March-May
average temperature of 55.79 degrees F and an average precipitation total of
7.43 inches. Mean values from 1901-2000 are 50.91 degrees F and 7.93 inches,
respectively. The only higher spring average temperature, 56.17 degrees F,
occurred in 2012. Falling to third place were 1910 and 2025, tied at
54.07 degrees F. Meanwhile, it was the Nation's 37th-driest spring on record-
and the driest since March-May 2006, when precipitation averaged 7.14 inches.
State temperatures rankings were uniformly in the "warm" half of the
March-May distribution. North Dakota, with its 40th-warmest spring, was the
"coolest" State. In fact, it was the warmest spring on record in Arizona,
Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, and among the ten warmest elsewhere, except
in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and five of the six
States in New England. Meanwhile, State precipitation rankings ranged from
the third-driest spring in Delaware and North Carolina to the wettest spring
on record in Michigan. Top-ten rankings for spring dryness were also noted in
Maryland and Virginia, while top-ten rankings for spring wetness were
observed in Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
March: Historic and unprecedented warmth gripped the western and central
United States for much of March, prematurely melting Western mountain
snowpack and contributing to conditions conducive to spring wildfires on the
Plains. By the start of April, mountain snowpack had been completely
eliminated, or nearly so, in many Southwestern watersheds, portending a
summer of sharply reduced streamflow and surface-water reserves. Very warm,
mostly dry weather, particularly across the Nation's southwestern quadrant,
also reduced topsoil moisture availability for rangeland, pastures, and
winter wheat.
Monthly average temperature records were broken by more than 5 degrees F in
some Southwestern locations. Record-shattering March warmth extended as far
north as the northern Intermountain West and as far east as the High Plains.
In fact, monthly temperatures averaged at least 6 to 12 degrees F above
normal along and south of a line from northwestern California to southern
Montana, then extending southeastward into the central Appalachians,
excluding areas along and near the Gulf Coast. Near- or slightly below-normal
March temperatures were restricted to portions of the Nation's Northern Tier.
During the first 3 months of 2026, wildfires scorched more than 1.6 million
acres of vegetation. The largest blaze of the month (and the year to date)
was the Morrill Fire, which was ignited on March 12 and quickly charred more
than 642,000 acres of cured vegetation north and northwest of Lake McConaughy
in Nebraska, becoming the largest wildfire in modern State history. Elsewhere
in Nebraska, other incidents that began around the same time included the
129,000-acre Cottonwood Fire, southeast of North Platte, and the 36,000-acre
Road 203 Fire, mostly in the Nebraska National Forest. About 2 weeks later,
on March 26, additional wildfires flared across the western half of Nebraska.
Conversely, wetter-than-normal March weather affected much of the Midwest,
extending across portions of the northern Plains and Northeast. Although much
of the Corn Belt benefited from a boost in soil moisture in advance of spring
planting, flooding developed early in the month across southern Indiana,
especially along the White River and its tributaries. Additionally, a
mid-month storm system from the upper Midwest into the upper Great Lakes
region increased livestock stress-especially for animals progressing through
lambing and calving-amid heavy snow, high winds, and falling temperatures. On
March 15-16, as much as 24 to 36 inches of snow blanketed northern sections
of Wisconsin and Michigan.
Toward the end of March, Midwestern winter wheat was mostly faring well, with
the portion of the crop rated in good to excellent condition ranging from
53 percent in Missouri to 69 percent in Michigan. Conversely, at least
one-half of the winter wheat was rated very poor to poor on March 29 in
Nebraska (51 percent) and Colorado (50 percent). Serious topsoil moisture
shortages existed across large sections of the Plains and Rockies, led by
New Mexico (100 percent very short to short), Colorado (96 percent), and
Nebraska (93 percent). Due to March warmth, fast-developing wheat as far
north as the central Plains needed moisture for sustenance, with 23 percent
of the crop already jointed by March 29 in Kansas, along with 8 percent in
Colorado.
There were several March outbreaks of severe weather, mainly along and east
of a line from western Texas to Lake Michigan, resulting in more than
200 tornadoes, based on preliminary reports from the
National Weather Service. The Nation's first tornado-related fatalities of
the year occurred on March 5 and 6, with four deaths apiece in Michigan and
Oklahoma. Three additional tornado-related fatalities occurred on March 10
from a supercell storm that traveled from Illinois into Indiana-part of the
same system that produced monstrous hail, up to 6 inches in diameter, near
Kankakee, Illinois. Soon after, high winds-unrelated to thunderstorm
activity-raked the northern Plains, with peak gusts on March 12 broadly
ranging from 70 to 90 mph or higher.
April: Above-normal temperatures again dominated much of the country, with
many locations from the mid-South and lower Midwest to the central
Appalachians weathering a record-warm April, as well as temperatures
averaging more than 5 degrees F above normal. However, chilly weather lurked
for much of April across the Nation's Northern Tier, with several southward
forays of cold air across areas east of the Rockies. Consequently, a variety
of crops-including winter wheat and blooming fruits-experiencing varying
degrees of freeze damage, extending at least as far south as the central
High Plains and the middle Atlantic States. Some of the most significant
freezes related to winter wheat struck the central High Plains during the
weekend of April 18-19, followed by fruit-damaging frost in the mid-Atlantic
on April 20-21.
Any freeze-related damage to winter wheat compounded the effects of punishing
drought. By May 3, more than one-third (37 percent) of the Nation's
winter wheat crop was rated in very poor to poor condition, more than twice
last year's early-May value of 18 percent. States exceeding the National
value of 37 percent very poor to poor included Nebraska (67 percent), Texas
(56 percent), Oklahoma (49 percent), Colorado (45 percent), and Kansas
(44 percent). Expansive drought also adversely affected many grazing lands
and hay production areas.
However, the Midwest was largely free of drought, with some watersheds in
Michigan and Wisconsin experiencing record flooding in mid-April. Even with
late-month drying, Statewide topsoil moisture by May 3 was rated 42 percent
surplus in Wisconsin, along with 32 percent in Michigan. Some of the most
consequential flooding struck the Manistee and Muskegon Rivers in Michigan,
and the Wolf and Menominee Rivers in Wisconsin.
Ongoing Southeastern drought contributed to a rash of April wildfires.
Notably, two southern Georgia wildfires-the Pineland Road and Highway
82 Fires-collectively scorched more than 55,000 acres of vegetation. The
Pineland Road Fire destroyed nearly three dozen structures, while the
Highway 82 fire became the most destructive in modern Georgia history, with
well over 100 homes destroyed. During the first 4 months of the year,
wildfires burned approximately 1.9 million acres of vegetation across the
Nation, nearly twice the 10-year average.
Reports of severe weather-tornadoes, high winds, and large hail-generally
peaked from April 13-17 and April 23-28. According to preliminary
information, there were more than 300 April tornadoes, along with nearly
1,300 reports of hail at least an inch in diameter and more than
1,600 reports of thunderstorm-related high winds or wind damage. The bulk of
the severe weather occurred along and east of a line from central Texas to
southern Minnesota, consistent with April rainfall largely bypassing the
central and southern High Plains.
Besides drought and freezes, many of the April's agricultural highlights
featured a rapid planting pace for a variety of summer crops. However,
mid- to late-month storminess-and periods of cooler weather-slowed an
initially torrid planting pace in several areas, including the South and
lower Midwest. In the West, modestly cooler and somewhat wetter weather-
compared to March-helped to temporarily stabilize drought conditions.
May: A pattern change finally led to meaningful precipitation and drought
relief across portions of the Plains and South, although rain largely arrived
too late to benefit winter wheat. On May 31, nearly one-half (44 percent) of
the Nation's winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition. Values
greater than the National average were noted throughout the central and
southern Plains, led by Nebraska (70 percent very poor to poor), Colorado
(67 percent), Texas (64 percent), Kansas (55 percent), and Oklahoma
(53 percent).
Additionally, rangeland and pastures were slow to start recovering due to
deeply entrenched drought, particularly on the Plains. At month's end,
42 percent of the Nation's rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to
poor condition, highest at this time of year since May 29, 2022, when the
value was 46 percent. On May 31, 2026, Nebraska led the Nation with
80 percent of its rangeland and pastures rated very poor to poor, while
Statewide values ranging from 50 to 75 percent very poor to poor were
observed in Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and
Wyoming.
During May, topsoil moisture-as reported by USDA/NASS-began to reflect
changes due to regionally significant rainfall. Nationally, topsoil moisture
was rated 36 percent very short to short on May 31, an improvement from
44 percent just 2 weeks earlier. Still, Statewide values were greater than
40 percent very short to short at the end of May in all States comprising the
Plains and Rockies, except North Dakota. Colorado's topsoil moisture rated
91 percent very short to short led the Nation, while values above 70 percent
were observed on May 31 in Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming.
Despite May's overall increase in precipitation, some areas remained dry or
experienced developing dryness. For example, drier-than-normal May conditions
dominated the upper Midwest and Intermountain West. In the latter region,
warmth and dryness boosted irrigation demands, heightening water-supply
concerns in watersheds lacking groundwater reserves and ample reservoir
storage. Farther east, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, experienced its driest May on
record (0.36 inch), edging its 1885 standard of 0.41 inch. With 0.52 inch,
Rockford, Illinois, narrowly avoided its driest May (0.48 inch), which
occurred in 1992. Broadly below-average May rainfall was noted in the upper
Mississippi Valley and the upper Great Lakes region, extending as far south
as northern sections of Illinois and Indiana. Despite the short-term dryness
in the upper Midwest, approximately two-thirds of the Nation's corn
(67 percent) and soybeans (66 percent) were rated in good to excellent
condition on May 31.
Across the Lower 48 States, drought coverage exceeded 60 percent each week
from April 7 to May 26, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. By June 2,
National drought coverage dropped to 58.38 percent, down 4.40 percentage
points from the April 21 peak of 62.78 percent. Coverage of extreme to
exceptional drought (D3 to D4) also decreased, from a May 19 peak of
20.19 percent to a June 2 value of 14.55 percent-a drop of 5.64 percentage
points. Still, D3 to D4 affected parts of 25 States on June 2, with coverage
topping 50 percent in Utah, Nebraska, and Florida.
May temperatures were significantly (as much as 2 to 4 degrees F) above
normal across Florida's peninsula and in most areas from the Pacific Coast to
the northern and central High Plains. In fact, it was the hottest May on
record in Florida locations such as Key West, Lakeland, Melbourne, and
Vero Beach. Conversely, cooler-than-normal conditions (temperatures more than
2 degrees F below normal) covered the Great Lakes and Northeastern States.
During May, several frost events-extending as far south as the Ohio Valley
and central Appalachians-locally aggravated the impacts of damaging April
freezes that had caused extensive damage to specialty crops, including
blooming fruits.
With increased precipitation, wildfire activity generally lessened during
May. Nevertheless, nearly 2.5 million acres of vegetation burned across the
country during the first 5 months of 2026, nearly twice the 10-year average.
Two large wildfires in southwestern Kansas-the Meade Lake Complex (about
92,000 acres) and the Herman Ranch Complex (more than 36,000 acres)-
collectively scorched nearly 128,000 acres of land before being declared
fully contained on May 22. Meanwhile, severe thunderstorm activity diminished
during May, compared to the previous month, despite frequent showers. Based
on preliminary reports, fewer than 170 May tornadoes occurred, down from more
than 300 twisters in April. Most of the tornadic activity stretched from
western Texas into the upper Midwest, with a secondary area in the central
Gulf Coast region. The most concentrated period of severe weather occurred
from May 13-18. Some of the highest monthly rainfall totals, locally 10 to
20 inches or more, coincided with the active weather along and near the
Gulf Coast.

in 21 of the 29 major producing States. Area for harvest, forecast at
84.4 million acres, is up 5 percent from 2025. Record high planted area is
estimated in Ohio. Farmers responding to the survey indicated that
8.05 million acres of the estimated soybean acreage remained to be planted at
the time of the interview.
Nationwide, 6 percent of the soybean acreage was planted by April 12,
four percentage points ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of
the 5-year average. Planting was most active in Tennessee with 36 percent
planted and the Delta, with Arkansas at 32 percent, Louisiana at 30 percent,
and Mississippi at 39 percent planted. On April 26, twenty-three percent of
the soybeans were planted, 6 percentage points ahead of last year and
11 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By April 26, eight percent
of the Nation's soybean acreage had emerged, 6 percentage points ahead of
last year and 7 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally,

Sunflower: Area planted to sunflowers in 2026 totals 1.35 million acres, up
5 percent from 2025. Compared with last year, planted acreage in five of the
eight major sunflower-producing States increased this year, with two of the
States increasing by more than 10 percent. The State with the largest
increase in acreage from last year is South Dakota, where planted area
increased 56,000 acres compared with last year. Harvested area for sunflower
is forecast at 1.30 million acres, an increase of 4 percent from last year.
Planted and harvested area in Nebraska represent the lowest on record.
Planted area of oil type varieties, at 1.22 million acres, is up 3 percent
from last year. Compared with last year, planted area of oil type varieties
is up more than 5 percent in California, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
Area planted to non-oil varieties, estimated at 124,000 acres, is up
25 percent from last year. Compared with last year, growers in California,
Kansas, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Texas reported acreage increases of
30 percent or more in non-oil varieties. The planted area for non-oil type
varieties is the lowest on record in Colorado and Nebraska.
Planting began in mid-May and progressed at a pace ahead of the 5-year
average in Colorado, Kansas, and North Dakota during the month of May. As of
May 31, forty percent of the Nation's acreage had been planted, 1 percentage
point ahead of last year's pace and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year
average. At that time, planting progress was ahead of the normal pace in
Colorado, Kansas, and North Dakota but was behind the average pace in
South Dakota. All four States made good progress during the first week of
June, with planting progress reaching 59 percent complete by June 7,
three percentage points ahead of last year's pace and 6 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average.
Canola: Planted area of canola is estimated at a record high 2.97 million
acres in 2026, up 27 percent from last year's planted area of 2.34 million
acres. Area for harvest is forecast at a record high 2.92 million acres, up
27 percent from last year. Compared with last year, planted area is up
13 percent or more in all major canola-producing States. Planted area in
North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is up 30 percent from last
year and represents the highest area on record. A record high planted area is
also estimated in Washington. Harvested area in North Dakota and Washington
will both be record highs, if realized.
Flaxseed: Planted area of flaxseed is estimated at 305,000 acres in 2026, an
increase of 23 percent from 2025. Planted acreage in North Dakota, the
largest flaxseed-producing State, is expected to be up 9 percent from 2025.
Planted acreage in Montana is expected to increase 54 percent from the
previous year.
Safflower: Area planted to safflower in 2026 is estimated at 125,000 acres,
up 7 percent from 2025 but still represents the third lowest planted area for
the Nation since records began in 1991. Area for harvest is forecast at
115,500 acres, up 6 percent from last year. Compared with last year, planted
acreage is up 33 percent or more in Colorado, Idaho, and Utah. California and
Montana, the leading safflower producing States, account for 49 percent of
the U.S. planted acreage this year.
Other oilseeds: Planted area of mustard seed for the Nation is estimated at
131,500 acres, up 4 percent from 2025. Mustard seed area for harvest is
forecast at 123,100 acres, up 10 percent from the previous year. Planted and
harvested area for the Nation represents the fifth highest on record since
records began in 1991.
Acreage planted to rapeseed is estimated at 19,000 acres, up 400 acres from
2025. Harvested rapeseed area is forecast at 17,300 acres, up 700 acres from
last year. Planted and harvested area for the Nation both represent the
highest on record for rapeseed since records began in 1991.
Cotton: Growers planted 9.85 million acres in 2026, up 6 percent from last
year. Upland area is estimated at 9.70 million acres, up 6 percent from 2025.
American Pima area is estimated at 150,000 acres, up 6 percent from 2025. If
realized, Arizona and New Mexico planted upland cotton acres will be record
lows.
Nationwide, 92 percent of the cotton crop was planted by June 21,
one percentage point ahead of the previous year and 2 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. Twenty-seven percent of the Nation's cotton
acreage had reached the squaring stage, two percentage points ahead of last
year and the 5-year average. Fifty-three percent of the 2026 cotton acreage
was rated in good to excellent condition, 3 percentage points above the
previous week and 6 percentage points above the previous year.
Producers planted 94 percent of their acreage with seed varieties developed
using biotechnology, down 3 percentage points from last year. Varieties
containing insect resistance (Bt) were planted on 4 percent of the acreage,
unchanged from 2025. Herbicide resistant varieties were planted on 8 percent
of the acreage, up 2 percentage points from last year. Stacked gene
varieties, those containing both insect and herbicide resistance, were
planted on 82 percent of the acreage, down 5 percentage points from a year
ago.
Sugarbeets: Area planted to sugarbeets for the 2026 crop year is estimated at
1.03 million acres, down 4 percent from 2025. Area expected to be harvested
is at 1.01 million acres, down 5 percent from last year. In Minnesota, by the
week ending in May 17, planting was at 98 percent complete, ahead of the 5-
year average of 78 percent. In North Dakota, by the week ending in May 17,
planting was at 98 percent complete, ahead of the 5-year average of
75 percent.
Sugarcane: Area of sugarcane expected to be harvested for sugar and seed in
the United States is 956,000 acres for the 2026 crop year, up 1 percent from
last year. Growers in Louisiana, the largest State in terms of harvested
acres, are expected to harvest 540,000 acres, or 56 percent of the Nation's
acreage. As of the week ending June 14, sixty-six percent of the crop in
Louisiana was rated as good to excellent.
Tobacco: United States all tobacco area for harvest in 2026 is expected to
total 172,100 acres, up less than 1 percent from the previous year. Despite
the increase, if realized, this will be the third lowest tobacco harvested
area on record for the Nation. Compared with last year, harvested acreage is
expected to be up in three of the four major tobacco-producing States.
Flue-cured tobacco, at 131,500 acres, is down 2 percent from 2025 and
accounts for 76 percent of this year's total tobacco expected harvested
acreage. The light air-cured burley type tobacco area, at 29,400 acres, is
up 6 percent from 2025. Fire-cured tobacco, at 7,200 acres, is up 20 percent
from 2025. Dark air-cured tobacco, at 4,000 acres, is up 25 percent from last

down 30 percent from the previous year. Area expected to be harvested is
701,000 acres, down 26 percent from 2025. The planted area in Montana, the
largest lentil-producing state, is estimated to decrease by 270,000 acres
compared with last year.
Dry edible peas: Area planted for the 2026 crop year is 1.05 million acres,
down 11 percent from the previous year. Area expected to be harvested is
1.00 million acres, down 6 percent from 2025. Planted area decreased in four
of the five States compared with last year.
Potatoes: Area planted to potatoes in 2026 is 873,000 acres, down 3 percent
from 2025. Area expected to be harvested is 867,600 acres, down 3 percent
from the previous year. Planted area in Idaho, the largest potato-producing
State, is down 15,000 acres from last year. Record low planted acreage is
estimated in California, Florida, Minnesota and North Dakota.
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. The June Agricultural Survey is a probability survey that includes a
sample of approximately 90,300 farm operators selected from a list of
producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to
be selected. Data from operators was collected by mail, internet, or
telephone to obtain information on planted and harvested acreage for the
2026 crop year.
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 Regional Office's
review. Acreage estimates were based on survey data and the historical
relationship of official estimates to survey data.
Revision policy: Estimates of acres for barley, corn, cotton, dry edible
beans, oats, peanuts, rice, sorghum, soybeans, sugarbeets, Durum wheat, other
spring wheat, and winter wheat are subject to revision in the August Crop
Production report. Acres for chickpeas, corn, cotton, dry edible peas,
lentils, peanuts, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and sugarbeets are subject to
revision in the September Crop Production report each year. Barley, oat, rye,
and wheat end-of-season estimates are made in the Small Grains Annual report
at the end of September. Canola, dry edible beans, and sunflower acres are
subject to revision in the October Crop Production report. Potato acres are
subject to revision in the November Crop Production report. End-of-season
estimates for all other row crops are made in the Annual Crop Production
Summary in January. Following the marketing year, revisions are made if the
balance sheet or other administrative data warrant changes. 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. Estimates will also be
reviewed following the 5-year Census of Agriculture. No revisions will be
made after that date.
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. The relative standard
errors from the 2026 June Agricultural Survey for United States planted acres
were: barley 4.9 percent, corn 1.3 percent, Upland cotton 4.0 percent,
sorghum 4.2 percent, soybeans 1.4 percent, other spring wheat 4.3 percent,
and winter wheat 1.9 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, 6.2 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties,
5.1 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 0.6 percent for
stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of
100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 0.6 percent for all
biotech varieties, 12.4 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties,
10.2 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.2 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 0.7 percent for all biotech
varieties, 15.2 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 9.7 percent for
herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.4 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 2006-2025 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
1.4 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
1.4 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the
difference will not exceed 2.5 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
1.45 million acres, ranging from 144,000 acres to 3.59 million acres. The
mid-year planted acres have been below the final estimate 6 times and above
14 times. This does not imply that the mid-year planted estimate this year is
likely to understate or overstate the final estimate.
