August Weather Summary
Highlights: For the second month in a row, unusually hot weather dominated
the country. In fact, significantly above-normal temperatures stretched from
the Pacific Coast into the Southeast, while near- or slightly below-normal
temperatures were confined to portions of the Nation's Northern Tier and the
Midwest. Monthly temperatures generally averaged at least 4 to 6 degrees F
above normal in parts of southern California and across central and southern
sections of the Rockies and Plains. A dominant ridge of high pressure was
largely responsible for the persistently hot August weather, which shifted
from the previous month, when anomalous heat was focused on the northern
Plains and upper Midwest.
Hotter- and drier-than-normal weather from the southern Plains to the
Mississippi Delta reduced soil moisture, boosted irrigation demands, and
stressed rangeland, pastures, livestock, and rain-fed summer crops. By
August 30, roughly one-third (32 percent) of the Nation's cotton was rated in
very poor to poor condition, along with 34 percent of the sorghum. On that
date, Oklahoma led the Nation with 51 percent of its cotton rated very poor
to poor, followed by Texas at 47 percent. Meanwhile, 52 percent of the
Nation's rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition on
August 30, with values above the national average being observed in eleven
States-ten across the Rockies, Plains, and Southwest, and one (Arkansas) in
the mid-South. On that date, topsoil moisture was rated more than 75 percent
very short to short in ten States-six across the Plains and Rockies, along
with Oregon and three Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi).
Texas led the Nation with topsoil moisture rated 89 percent very short to
short, followed by Oklahoma at 88 percent.
Overall drought coverage in the Lower 48 States sharply expanded, from 45.77
to 59.05 percent, during the 6-week period ending September 1, according to
the U.S. Drought Monitor. Most of the drought development or deterioration
occurred in the south-central United States, although worsening conditions
were also observed in parts of the North. Drought improvement between July 21
and September 1 was limited to a few areas, including portions of the
Southwest and Intermountain West, as well as the Atlantic Coast States
(excluding northern New England). Meanwhile, dozens of large wildfires burned
during August across the Northwest, extending into parts of California and
the Great Basin. By early September, year-to-date wildfires had burned more
than 8.2 million acres of vegetation across the country, well above the
10-year average of 5.1 million acres. The Big Grass Fire, which was ignited
by lightning on July 23 and eventually burned approximately 579,000 acres
across southeastern Oregon and southwestern Idaho, became the largest
Northwestern wildfire of the year. Destructive wildfires struck early in the
month in and near Spokane, Washington, destroying hundreds of homes. Other
notable August blazes included the 90,000-acre Ross Fire (more than
150 structures destroyed) near Palo Pinto, Texas, and the 15,000-acre
Hawk Fire (nearly four dozen homes and other structures destroyed) north of
Reno, Nevada. For much of August, various parts of the Northwest contended
with smoke, haze, poor air quality, and reductions in visibility.
Despite the return of more favorable temperatures across the Corn Belt,
particularly in the upper Midwest, uneven moisture distribution continued to
cause issues for some corn and soybeans. For example, mid-August flooding
unfolded across the lower Midwest, from central Illinois into parts of Ohio,
while drought persisted throughout the month in portions of the northern and
western Corn Belt. By August 30, only 57 percent of the Nation's corn and
58 percent of the soybeans were rated in good to excellent condition. Among
Midwestern States, North Dakota led on that date with 43 percent of its corn
and 29 percent of its soybeans rated very poor to poor. Due to mid- to
late-summer drought and heat earlier in growing season, upper Midwestern
crops quickly matured. On August 13, Minnesota's corn was 68 percent dented,
versus the 5-year average of 43 percent. Similarly, North Dakota's corn was
46 percent dented, compared to the average of 31 percent. North Dakota led
the Midwest with 18 percent of its soybeans dropping leaves by August 30,
well ahead of the State's 5-year average of 12 percent.
Elsewhere, monsoon-related showers in the West only partially offset the
effects of persistent heat and long-term drought. In the
Colorado River Basin, Lake Powell and Lake Mead fell to record lows since
being filled decades ago. On August 31, the surface elevation of Lake Mead,
above Hoover Dam, stood at just 1,038.83 feet. Prior to this year,
Lake Mead's record-low elevation of 1040.50 feet had been set on
July 28, 2022. Still, locally significant rain occurred during August in the
Colorado River Basin, as well as the Great Basin and northern
Intermountain West. In Arizona, late-month flash flooding in Grand Canyon
National Park's Bright Angel Canyon resulted in at least two fatalities and
extensive property damage, including washed-out bridges.
August Agricultural Summary
August brought mixed weather conditions across key United States agricultural
regions. Warmer-than-normal temperatures dominated most of the Pacific Coast,
Rockies, and southern Plains. Much of the central Plains and lower
Mississippi Valley also experienced modest warmth. In contrast, the northern
Plains, upper Mississippi Valley, and Ohio Valley recorded near- to slightly
below-normal temperatures. Precipitation patterns were highly variable. Much
of the Delta, central and southern Plains, Southwest, and West recorded
below-normal rainfall, with some locations receiving less than 50 percent of
normal monthly totals. Drier-than-normal conditions also persisted across
parts of the upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes. In contrast, areas of
the northern Plains, middle Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, and portions of
the mid-Atlantic Coast States received above-normal rainfall, with isolated
pockets exceeding 200 percent of typical August rainfall. Topsoil moisture
continued to decline across much of the West and Plains, with many States
reporting short to very short moisture levels by late August. Adequate to
surplus topsoil moisture levels predominated in the eastern Corn Belt.

Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted
between August 25 and September 7 to gather information on expected yield as
of September 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton, and soybeans
were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for
75 percent of the United States production. Farm operators selected for the
objective yield survey were interviewed to update previously reported acreage
data and seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected
fields for the objective yield survey (corn, cotton, and soybeans). The
counts made within each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of
that crop. In all cases, the number of plants is recorded along with other
measurements that provide information to forecast the number of ears, bolls,
or pods and their weight. The counts are used with similar data from previous
years to develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is
subtracted to obtain a net yield. The plots are visited starting in September
and are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is harvested
and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another
plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss.
The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use
of mail, internet, and personal interviews. Approximately 7,600 producers
were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable
yield. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing
season to provide indications of average yields.
Estimating procedures: The Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB) reviews
multiple data sources at the National and State level, including USDA
administrative acreage data, satellite imagery, and objective yield and
grower reported data. All data were reviewed for reasonableness and
consistency with historical estimates. The data were also reviewed
considering weather patterns and crop progress compared with previous months
and previous years.
Revision policy: The September 1 production forecast will not be revised;
instead, a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing
season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the
marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks,
production, imports, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions
are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data
warrant changes. Estimates of acres for barley, corn, cotton, dry edible
beans, oats, peanuts, rice, sorghum, soybeans, sugarbeets, and 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, oats, rye, and wheat end-of-season
estimates are published in the Small Grains Annual Summary 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 published in the Annual Crop Production Summary in
January. Revisions to planted acres will only be made when either special
survey data, administrative data, such as Farm Service Agency certified
acreage data, or remote sensing data are available. Harvested acres may be
revised any time a production forecast is made if there is sufficient data
indicating that the intended harvested area has changed since the last
forecast.
Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the September 1
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure
based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the September 1
production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of
the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the
latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes
statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be
made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the
final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's
forecast are not different from those influencing recent years. For example,
the "Root Mean Square Error" for the September 1 corn for grain production
forecast is 2.7 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the
current production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by
more than 2.7 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level)
that the difference will not exceed 4.6 percent.
Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of
the differences between the September 1 forecast and the final estimate.
Using corn for grain again as an example, changes between the September 1
forecast and the final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged
260 million bushels, ranging from 13 million bushels to 813 million bushels.
The September 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 8 times and above
12 times. This does not imply that the September 1 corn for grain forecast
this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
Crop Production: Released September 11, 2026, by the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States
Department of Agriculture (USDA).
