Forage Production
Forage production is the sum of all dry hay production and haylage/greenchop production after converting the haylage/greenchop
production to a dry equivalent basis (13 percent moisture) by multiplying the green weight (weight at harvest) by 0.4943. The
conversion factor (0.4943) is based on the assumption that one ton of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry matter, one ton of haylage is 0.45 ton
dry matter and one ton of greenchop is 0.25 ton dry matter. The total haylage/greenchop production is assumed to be comprised of
90 percent haylage and 10 percent greenchop. Therefore, the conversion factor used to adjust haylage/greenchop production to a dry
equivalent basis = ((0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1))/0.87 = 0.4943. The factors assumed here may vary by State and can be adjusted.
Adjustments would result in a slightly different conversion factor.

2009 U.S. Weather Review
Abnormally wet, cool weather this spring, summer, and autumn created major crop planting, maturation, and harvesting delays in the
Midwest. In contrast, a dry winter dominated the central and southern Plains, and record summer dryness and heat led to an
historical drought in southern Texas.
Heavy snow and rain, and sudden snow melt, led to extensive flooding in western Washington and parts of western Oregon early in
the year. By January 7, floodwaters forced a 20-mile stretch of Interstate 5 south of Seattle to close. Nevertheless, December-February cumulative precipitation ended up generally below normal from Washington to California.
Similar to the 2007-08 winter, widespread cold and snow affected many parts of the Nation. A cold air mass that gripped Alaska in
early January advanced to the lower 48 States during the second week of the month. The cold wave that struck the central and
eastern U.S. during mid-January was one of the most severe in recent years. By January 13, subzero cold extended south to
Nebraska, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Temperatures plummeted to -30 degrees Fahrenheit and lower in the Dakotas and -20 degrees
Fahrenheit in Iowa, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The subzero readings extended to the Northeast by the 15th, with temperatures dropping to -20 degrees Fahrenheit or lower in portions of New Hampshire, New York, and Maine.
Later in January, warm air overrunning cold air at the surface caused a massive ice storm across the mid-South on January 26-27,
resulting in 1.3 million utility customers losing power. An inch or more of ice covered surfaces from northern Arkansas and extreme
southern Missouri into Kentucky.
On the West Coast, long-term drought in California was an ongoing concern. Most of the state experienced less than one-half its
normal precipitation in January and, at the end of the month, state reservoir storage stood at 62 percent of normal. Pacific storms
returned in February, with heavy rain and snow in California on February 13-17 and February 22-23 leading to substantial
improvements to reservoir levels.
Texas experienced its driest winter in 114 years of record-keeping, while Oklahoma had its 8th driest winter. As a result, the late
February U.S. Drought Monitor depicted at least D1 intensity drought from southwestern Kansas into Texas, with D4, the most
severe category, over south-central Texas.
In February, precipitation totaled two to four times average in the northern Plains, setting the stage for another spring of flooding.
Also, an early-month cold wave in the East dropped temperatures into the teens in northern Florida (February 5).
Spring was abnormally wet across the South and the Midwest, but dry in the Southwest, despite a wet May. The Southeast region
measured its fifth wettest spring on record when several periods of rain this spring finally put an end to most of the drought that had
been plaguing parts of the region since 2007. However, excessive snow and rain brought another spring of flooding to the Midwest
and northern Plains.
By March 11, rivers in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and New York had escaped their banks. By late March, the Red River
of the North was flooding from near Grand Forks, North Dakota, south to Fargo and beyond. On March 27, the Red River at Fargo
crested at 40.48 feet versus a flood stage of 18 feet. Flooding continued into April, closing many roads in North Dakota. The
swollen Red River expanded to a width of 7 miles north of Grand Forks in early April.
With spring precipitation as much as 150 percent of normal in Illinois and Indiana, wetness in the Midwest caused major crop delays.
Spring snows added to the problems for farmers and ranchers. A blizzard across the Plains brought up to 19 inches of snow to South
Dakota in early April, and record cold followed the storm across the Plains and winter wheat region. Western Oklahoma and
western Kansas saw readings dip into the teens and temperatures fell below freezing as far south as central Texas.
Another snow storm dumped prolific amounts on Colorado, Wyoming, and New Mexico during April 16-18. Pine Bluff, Colorado,
measured 52 inches. Still another low pressure system dumped heavy snow on Montana, Great Falls measuring 25.4 inches from
April 2-29, setting a record for a 3-day snowfall.
Several bouts of torrential rains hit various parts of the country, including eastern Texas on April 17-18 and southern Oklahoma and
northern Texas on April 29-30. Up to one foot of rain fell over southern Oklahoma in 24 hours. Earlier, rainfall amounts
approaching 12 inches struck the Southeast during the first days of the month, further alleviating the long-term drought, but sending
rivers over their banks. Groundwater in the Atlanta area rose to normal levels for the first time since the spring of 2007.
An unusual late-season Pacific storm brought heavy rain and snow to the West Coast during the first five days of May. Over a foot
of snow in the mountains and up to 5 inches of rain delivered additional drought relief to northern and central California.
Also in May, heavy rains drenched the Southwest and Florida. The record rains abruptly ended the Florida Peninsula’s dry season,
terminating a drought resulting from low November-April rainfall. Flooding persisted from northeastern Texas to Pennsylvania, as
well as parts of the Northern Plains, while several bouts of severe weather hit the eastern half of the nation. In Hawaii, drought
developed as several of the islands reported record low rainfall. Waialeale on Kauai, with a normal May rainfall of 35.8 inches,
recorded just 1.51 inches during the month.

January 2010 75 NASS, USDA
Persistent cool weather extended from the northern and central Plains through the Great Lakes region into the Northeast during
summer. Temperatures averaging 1 to 4 degrees Fahrenheit below normal from the Great Lakes through the northern Plains made
this the coolest summer in the region since 2004 and one of the two coolest summers since the chilly summer of 1992.
July stood out as especially abnormal, with temperature readings averaging 2 to 6 degrees Fahrenheit below normal from Montana to
Maine and from the Great Lakes to Mississippi. Temperatures dropped into the 30s and 40s in locations that rarely see such readings
in mid-summer. International Falls, Minnesota, noted a record 35 degrees Fahrenheit on both July 12-13, and reported its coolest
July on record. The week of July 13-19 was the coolest such period on record in Iowa. Indiana, Illinois. Iowa recorded their lowest
average July temperatures in at least 114 years, and the Midwest as a whole measured its coolest July.
High temperatures did affect other areas of the country; a heat wave on the southern Plains sent temperatures deep into triple-digit
territory. Western Oklahoma saw the mercury rise to 117 degrees Fahrenheit on July 10.
Wetness continued to be a problem for farmers this summer in the Midwest and Northeast. From New Jersey to Maine, rainfall
exceeded normal every month from May through August. The Northeast as a whole had its second wettest summer ever.
The Midwest did not entirely escape drought this summer. Below-normal rainfall from May through July aggravated the long-term
drought in Minnesota and northern Wisconsin. Heavy rains eased drought on August 19-20. Much farther south, record heat and
warmth worsened the drought in south-central and southern Texas to the point that August conditions ranked as the worst since the
mini-Dust Bowl in 1956. Several counties in south-central Texas experienced their worst drought on record. In Austin and San
Antonio, July temperatures were the hottest on record for any month. Austin also measured its hottest August. July rainfall at
Austin registered only 0.25 inch. The drought not only affected agriculture, but low reservoir and ground water levels resulted in
severe water restrictions.
Cooling rains by late August started to ease the Texas drought. Over 4 inches fell locally over South Texas during August 28-31. A
more widespread deluge on September 9-13 broke the back of the drought, and widespread rains in October further reduced drought.
The Southwest recorded its fourth driest August on record, with Arizona measuring its third driest June-August in over a century, as
the monsoon quickly faded. Below-normal rains in September and October further aggravated drought in Arizona.
Heavy rains struck much of the South and Southeast in the latter part of the year, leading to frequent bouts of river flooding and
major crop losses. It was the Southeast’s wettest October-December on record and the Nation’s wettest October in at least 115 years
and the third coldest. An upper-air disturbance triggered torrential rains in the South during September 19-22. Atlanta, Georgia
recorded 6.46 inches of rain on September 19-21. A large part of the Southeast recorded over 10 inches of rain.
On October 9-10, record cold plunged southward from Canada into the Plains. On October 11, a crop-season-ending freeze extended
southward to the Texas Panhandle, and by the 12th, snow covered the Northern Plains and readings dipped to the subzero levels in
northern Montana.
A wintry Pacific storm struck the California area on October 13-14. Three to 7-inch rainfall amounts were common across
California, with up to 10 to 16 inches over the coastal mountains.
A coastal storm dumped heavy rain from Virginia to New England on October 15-18, while record early snows blanketed
Pennsylvania and other parts of the Northeast. The 4-6 inches that fell on central Pennsylvania during October 15-16 set a record for
the earliest measureable snow.
A deep upper-level low set off a major snow storm over Colorado and the High Plains during October 28-30, with over 3 feet of
snow in the mountains west of Denver and Boulder, and heavy snow extending eastward into the Plains. Rainfall totals reached up
to 8 inches ahead of the associated cold front, setting off flooding in Arkansas, Louisiana, and eastern Texas.
Numerous October rainfall records were established in Mississippi, with Vicksburg reporting 13.22 inches. Farther north, St. Louis
recorded its coldest October since 1987, and Columbia, Missouri, broke its October precipitation record with 12.38 inches. In
Athens, Georgia, the September-October rainfall of 19 inches shattered all previous records.
Snowfall records toppled farther north. In North Platte, Nebraska, the monthly total of 30.3 inches almost doubled its previous
October record, and set a record for not only October but for any month.
Florida was one of the few warm, dry locations in October. Miami set a record for the hottest October on record (82.4 degrees
Fahrenheit). Ft. Lauderdale notched its driest October with only 0.73 inches.
November was relatively mild and dry, benefitting farmers trying to get their harvests in. Boston had its sixth mildest November,
and Chicago experienced its eighth mildest. Monthly temperatures averaged more than 6 degrees Fahrenheit above normal across
the northern Plains. North Dakota and Iowa recorded their third warmest November, and Wisconsin the second warmest.
Heavy rains lashed Hawaii on November 13-15, easing drought but causing flooding. An upper-level low triggered rainfall amounts
as high as 21.33 inches over Kauai. Storms battered the Pacific Northwest in November. Monthly precipitation exceeded 8 inches
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 76 NASS, USDA
from western Oregon into western Washington. Winds along the Oregon coast gusted to 89 miles per hour during an intense storm
on November 16. Heavy snow fell over the mountains, and several rivers left their banks.
Tropical Storm Ida crossed the coast of Alabama on November 10, dumping around 4 inches of rain along the Gulf Coast and
flooding coastal roads, but leaving relatively little damage behind. By the 12th, Ida transitioned to a Nor-easter off the coast of North
Carolina, causing far more damage as an extratropical storm. High waves, heavy rains, and strong winds lashed the coast from North
Carolina to New Jersey for several days, causing major beach erosion.
The last month of 2009 was extraordinarily wet, cold, and snowy for much of the Nation.
A major storm affected large parts of the Nation during December 7-10. The system dumped up to 4 feet of snow on the Sierra
before dropping up to 30 inches of snow on Arizona’s Flagstaff area. The low pressure system went on to spread 8 to 16 inches of
snow from Nebraska to Michigan, creating blizzard conditions on the Plains. Subzero temperatures extended across the Plains, and
record cold also hit the West where Redding, California registered 16 degrees Fahrenheit on the 9th, establishing a new all-time low
temperature record.
The cold front associated with the storm focused flooding rains on the Gulf region during December 14-15. New Orleans recorded
8.81 inches, setting a record for the wettest month on record with the month only half over.
Low pressure in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on the 18th deepened and tracked to the Cape Hatteras area on the 19th, setting the stage
for an historic December snow storm. Heavy snow extended from western North Carolina to southeastern New England, with the
16 to 23-inch totals in the DC and Baltimore region shattering previous records for December snow storms. Philadelphia’s 23.2-inch
total was its second greatest on record.
A third major storm system struck the country in late December, as low pressure over Oklahoma on the 23rd moved to Iowa on
Christmas Day and then stalled. Wind-whipped snow spread from Oklahoma to the Dakotas, with blizzard conditions across much
of the central and northern Plains during December 24-26. Oklahoma City’s total of 14.1 inches on the 24th set an all-time snowfall
record. Storm total snowfall of 12 to 18 inches and higher extended from eastern Nebraska to Minnesota.
Widespread snow covered the United States in December. An analysis of satellite data indicated that December average snow extent
was the largest for any December since the satellite record began in 1966.
Due to the persistent wet conditions, numerous locations either set records for the wettest year or came close. Atlanta, Georgia
recorded its wettest year since 1948, while St. Louis, Missouri notched its fifth wettest year. Little Rock, Arkansas, experienced its
all-time wettest year with 81.79 inches, nearly 30 inches above normal. Three states had their second wettest years on record:
Arkansas, Illinois, and Alabama.
2009 Annual Crop Summary
April: Cooler than normal temperatures prevailed across much of the country from the Great Plains westward, while unseasonably
warm weather in New England promoted early development in fruit and berry crops. Rainfall accumulations totaling 150 percent of
normal or more pounded eastern Texas, parts of the Corn Belt, and central portions of the Southeast, leaving many fields too soggy
for fieldwork and hampering spring planting. Cool, wet conditions throughout much of the Corn Belt delayed the start of corn
planting. Heading of the 2009 winter wheat crop started the month ahead of the 5-year average, but fell to nearly a week behind
normal by month’s end. Nationally, 12 percent of the cotton crop was planted from April 6 to April 26. Hard-packed,
drought-stricken soils kept producers across much of Texas from cultivating their cotton fields, while sodden fields slowed planting
progress in the Delta.
May: While much of the country experienced above average temperatures during the month, many areas in the Great Plains, Great
Lakes, and Mississippi Valley recorded temperatures that were cooler than normal. Much of the eastern half of the country was
wetter than normal, bringing drought relief to some regions while further saturating already wet fields in others. Most notably,
several coastal counties in Florida received up to 22 inches of rainfall, causing localized flooding in some citrus groves. As the
month ended, corn planting in the Corn Belt was complete or nearly complete in all States except Illinois and Indiana, where the
continued wet weather delayed progress to over 2 weeks or more behind the 5-year average. Barley and spring wheat seeding
continued at a steady pace during the month, but overall progress remained 2 weeks or more behind normal. A lack of available soil
moisture held peanut planting in Georgia to a slower than normal pace, while the mid-month planting pace in Alabama quickened as
wet fields began to dry out. As favorable mid-month weather conditions in the Southeast provided an increased number of days
suitable for fieldwork, cotton producers made considerable headway planting their intended 2009 acreage.
June: Above average temperatures prevailed in the Pacific Northwest, as well as throughout much of the country stretching from
Texas up to the Corn Belt and eastward to the Coast. In contrast, areas in the Southwest, Rocky Mountains, and northern Great
Plains experienced temperatures as many as 6 degrees below normal. Rainfall was above average across much of the western half of
the Nation and in a band stretching from the Corn Belt eastward to the Mid-Atlantic States and up to New England. By month’s end,
planting was complete or nearly complete for most crops. Abundant soil moisture in the Rocky Mountain States left the small grain
crops in mostly good to excellent condition. Above average temperatures helped to jumpstart boll set in the Delta’s cotton crop,
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 77 NASS, USDA
while hampering pollination in Georgia’s peanut crop. Winter wheat harvesting began early in the month and had progressed to
40 percent complete by June 28.
July: While the Southeast, Great Lakes, south Texas, and many areas west of the Rocky Mountains were drier than normal during
the month, summer storm systems delivered rainfall in excess of 200 percent of normal to the northern half of Texas and much of the
Delta. Above average temperatures were recorded west of the Rocky Mountains, in Texas, along much of the Gulf Coast, and in
Florida. Conversely, cooler temperatures settled in from the northern and central Great Plains eastward to the Atlantic Coast.
Phenological development was slow in the Nation’s corn crop following planting delays earlier in the season and less than ideal
growing conditions in the Corn Belt during July. On July 26, silking progress was 21 points behind normal, while just 7 percent of
the crop was at the dough stage or beyond, 10 points behind the average. In Illinois, soybean emergence was stagnate at the start of
the month as producers in the southeastern part of the State continued to battle soggy fields in an effort to finish planting their
intended acreage. Ideal growing conditions in many of the barley and spring wheat-producing States allowed for substantial head
development throughout the month, leaving progress just slightly behind their 5-year averages by month’s end. Oat harvest was
underway by July 5, while spring wheat producers began harvesting toward the end of the month.
August: Storm systems brought above average rainfall to numerous locations across the country, improving soil moisture levels in
areas of the Great Plains and Great Lakes while adding to already surplus soil moisture in the Corn Belt where monthly
accumulations in eastern Iowa and northern Missouri totaled between 11 and 12 inches, or up to 400 percent of normal. Cooler than
normal temperatures lingered in the Great Plains, Great Lakes, Corn Belt, most of the Delta, and parts of the Southeast, slowing
summer crop development. In contrast, abnormally warm temperatures prevailed in the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, along the
Atlantic Coast, and in Texas. Hampered by cool temperatures across much of the growing region, coloring in the Nation’s sorghum
crop advanced just 18 points from August 2 to August 30, leaving progress nearly a week behind normal. Despite an active harvest
pace throughout the month, barley and spring wheat harvest remained behind normal in all estimating States, with progress in North
Dakota, the largest barley and spring wheat-producing State, delayed nearly 3 weeks or more.
September: Several slow-moving storms dumped precipitation totaling greater than 200 percent of normal in areas of eastern Texas,
the Delta, and Southeast, worsening crop conditions and adding to already surplus soil moisture. Locations in western North
Carolina, northern Georgia, and the panhandle of Florida received monthly rainfall accumulations of more than 16 inches. With the
exceptions of the southwestern Corn Belt, central and southern Great Plains, New Mexico, and spotty locations along the Atlantic
Coast, temperatures were above average during the month, promoting late-maturing summer crop development. Corn and soybean
harvest began in most States toward month’s end, but on September 27 overall progress lagged normal by 12 and 13 percentage
points, respectively. A lack of heat units and the need for drier weather held cotton development in the Northern High Plains of
Texas to a minimum, while excessive rainfall in the Blacklands and East Texas delayed harvest. Significant declines in cotton
condition were evident late in the month as wet weather settled into Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi causing boll rot, hard lock,
and sprouting in some fields.
October: The Great Plains, Great Lakes, Corn Belt, Delta, and Southeast received tremendous amounts of precipitation during the
month, with accumulations across the majority of these regions totaling 200 percent of normal or more. The resulting muddy fields
limited winter wheat seeding, slowed row crop harvest, and caused declining crop conditions in many locations. With the exception
of areas in the Southwest, along the Gulf Coast, and in Florida, average temperatures were below normal throughout the month.
Killing frosts that ended the growing season for several States occurred early in the month as far south as western Oklahoma and
northern Texas. Development and harvest of this year’s corn crop remained sluggish during the month, with harvest delays of
3 weeks or more evident in the 6 largest corn-producing States by month’s end. Significant mid-month winter wheat seeding delays
existed in the eastern Corn Belt, Missouri, and Ohio as many double-cropped soybean acres had yet to be harvested. By October 25,
rice harvest was complete or nearly complete in California, Louisiana, and Texas while delays of 17 percentage points or more
existed in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Missouri. Across the Southeast, persistent mid-month rainfall further delayed peanut harvest in
Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, 3 of the 4 largest peanut-producing States.
November: Temperatures throughout the month were warmer than normal for much of the country, while drier weather blanketed
much of the Great Plains, Midwest, and Delta, promoting the rapid harvest of late-season row crops and the seeding of over-wintered
small grains. Elsewhere, excessive precipitation in areas of the Southeast hampered peanut and cotton harvest and caused lodging in
some unharvested cotton fields. Following ideal conditions that prompted corn producers to harvest 29 percent of the Nation’s crop
from November 2 to November 15, wet weather returned to much of the Corn Belt during the week ending November 22 and by
November 29, overall progress was 23 days behind the 5-year average. Soybean harvest was complete or nearly complete in all of
the 18 major estimating States except Kansas, Missouri, and North Carolina by November 29. Producers were virtually finished
digging sugarbeets by November 15, with harvest complete in Idaho but lagging normal by 3 percentage points in the Red River
Valley.
December: Cooler than normal temperatures prevailed across much of the country during the month, with recordings in several
locations in the Rocky Mountains as many as 10 degrees below normal. Strong winter storms dumped above average precipitation
on the Great Basin, northern and central Great Plains, Corn Belt, and the Gulf and Atlantic Coasts, with numerous locations
receiving total accumulations greater than 200 percent of normal. While weather conditions were conducive, corn producers were
busy harvesting their remaining 2009 crop. By December 20, ninety-five percent of the Nation’s corn had been combined, over
3 weeks behind normal. While cotton producers in Kansas made excellent progress harvesting their crop, rainfall hampered
fieldwork in Alabama, where progress remained well behind normal. By December 20, harvest was complete in all of the 11 major
cotton-producing States except Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 78 NASS, USDA
Crop Comments
Corn: U.S. corn for grain production is estimated at a record 13.2 billion bushels, up 2 percent from the November 1 forecast, and
1 percent above the previous record of 13.0 billion bushels set in 2007. U.S. grain yield is also estimated at a record level for 2009,
at 165.2 bushels per acre. This is up 2.3 bushels from the November forecast and 4.9 bushels above the previous record of
160.3 bushels per acre set in 2004.
Regionally, estimated yields are at record high levels across much of the Corn Belt, Great Plains, and Ohio Valley. Mild
temperatures through much of the growing season, combined with adequate soil moisture, provided favorable growing conditions
and grain development. Record yields are also estimated for much of the upper Rocky Mountain Region as well as the Pacific
Northwest. Yields are estimated lower in the Delta due to delayed spring planting and excessive moisture during harvest.
Corn planted area, at 86.5 million acres, is up less than one percent from 2008. This represents the second largest acreage since
1949, behind the 2007 acreage of 93.5 million acres. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 79.6 million acres, up slightly from the
November forecast and up 1 percent from 2008.
The 2009 corn objective yield data indicate a record high number of ears per acre for the combined 10 objective yield States (Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). All objective yield States, except
Missouri, recorded record high ear counts.
Corn silage production is estimated at 108 million tons in 2009, down 3 percent from 2008. The U.S. silage yield is estimated at a
record high 19.3 tons per acre, up 0.6 ton from the previous record set in 2008. Acreage harvested for silage is estimated at
5.61 million acres, down 6 percent from a year ago.
Corn planting got off to a slow start in 2009, similar to 2008, as cool, wet weather delayed fieldwork in many areas. By late April,
warmer weather in the Mississippi Valley and western Corn Belt helped accelerate fieldwork; however, planting was limited across
much of the Midwest due to cool, soggy soils.
Precipitation and cool temperatures continued to delay planting operations across the central and eastern Corn Belt, Ohio Valley, and
northern Great Plains in early May. By May 10, corn planting in the 18 major corn States was 48 percent complete. This was
23 points behind the 5-year average pace. The return of dry, warm weather in late May allowed producers to make rapid planting
progress in the Corn Belt and Great Plains, and by May 31, corn planting was 93 percent complete compared with the average of
97 percent. Growers in Illinois, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota planted over two-thirds of their intended corn
acreage between May 10 and May 31. Crop emergence at month’s end lagged behind normal due to the slow planting pace earlier in
the year.
Favorable June temperatures and abundant showers in the central and eastern Corn Belt allowed the crop to start recovering from late
planting and slow early-season growth. By the end of June, 4 percent of the crop was at or beyond the silking stage, and 72 percent
of the acreage was rated in good to excellent condition.
Below normal temperatures across much of the Corn Belt and northern Great Plains in July hampered crop development. As of July
5, development was behind normal in all States expect Colorado and North Carolina. Sixty-eight percent of the crop was rated in
good to excellent condition on August 2, up 2 percentage points from the same period in 2008. Regionally, conditions were better
than in 2008 in the central Great Plains and western Corn Belt where mild temperatures and adequate soil moisture provided
favorable growing conditions. Conditions were also improved across much of the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and Atlantic Coast
where beneficial moisture contrasted with exceptionally dry conditions in 2008. Crop conditions were worse than a year ago in the
central Corn Belt and Great Lakes region where excessive spring moisture delayed planting and below normal temperatures slowed
corn emergence and development.
Cool weather across the northern Great Plains and upper Midwest continued to slow crop development during much of August.
Meanwhile the rest of the Midwest experienced generally mild temperatures and adequate soil moisture supplies which favored corn
growth and development. Overall, corn development remained behind normal due to the cool, early season temperatures and
delayed planting. By August 30, thirty-two percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dent stage compared with the 5-year
average of 60 percent.
Warm, dry weather during much of September helped push the late-developing corn crop towards maturity. A light frost was
reported across the northern tier of the Great Plains and Corn Belt in late September; however, temperatures were not considered low
enough to terminate crop growth.
By early October, harvest activities were underway in all States, except North Dakota. Ten percent of the acreage was harvested by
October 4, fifteen points behind the normal pace. From October 9-12, freezing temperatures ended the 2009 growing season across
much of the Great Plains and well over half of the Corn Belt. By October 24, at least one freeze had occurred in over 90 percent of
the Nation's corn production area, while hard freezes (readings of 28 degrees Fahrenheit or lower) had been observed in more than
60 percent of the production area.

On November 1, only 25 percent of the Nation's corn crop had been harvested as grower’s encountered wet fields and higher than
normal moisture levels in mature corn. The harvest pace was a month behind the 5-year average. Harvest delays of 3 weeks or more
were evident in the 6 largest corn-producing States, with progress in Illinois more than 5 weeks behind normal. Conditions improved
during the first half of the month as above normal temperatures and drier weather provided ideal harvest conditions across much of
the major corn-producing regions. Twenty-nine percent of the corn crop was harvested between November 2 and November 15.
Wet conditions returned during the latter part of the month but harvest remained active. By November 29, seventy-nine percent of
the crop had been harvested but the pace continued to lag behind normal by 23 days.
Growers continued to battle wet field conditions and high moisture levels as harvest stretched into December. By December 20, only
5 percent of the corn crop remained in the field, but several States had significant amounts left to be harvested. Thirty-two percent of
the North Dakota crop remained in the field, while growers in both South Dakota and Wisconsin had 12 percent left to be harvested.
Minnesota, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania each had 7 percent remaining to be harvested.
Sorghum grain production in 2009 is estimated at 383 million bushels, up 5 percent from the November 1 forecast but 19 percent
below 2008. Planted area is estimated at 6.63 million acres, down 20 percent from last year and is the third lowest acreage total on
record. Area harvested for grain, at 5.52 million acres, is down 24 percent from 2008. Average grain yield, at 69.4 bushels per acre,
is up 5.4 bushels from the previous forecast and up 4.4 bushels from last year.
Both Kansas and Texas led the Nation in area planted for all purposes, while Kansas led the Nation in grain production. Area
harvested for grain decreased from last year in 12 of the 14 estimating States, with South Dakota the only State with an acreage
increase from last year. The yield in the two largest sorghum-producing States of Kansas and Texas is varied. Kansas is up
10 bushels to a record yield of 88.0 bushels per acre, while Texas is down 4 bushels from 2008.
Silage production is estimated at 3.68 million tons, down 35 percent from 2008. Area cut for silage is 254,000 acres, down
38 percent from the previous year. Silage yields averaged a record 14.5 tons per acre, up 0.70 tons per acre from last year. In Texas,
the largest producing State, yield was at 16.0 tons, up 1.0 bushel from last year and is the second highest yield on record.
Planting progressed near the normal pace and the majority of the crop was planted by the end of June. Adequate to abundant
precipitation throughout many of the major producing States aided the crop condition considerably throughout the growing season.
Cooler than normal weather conditions during much of the summer delayed crop maturation and harvest in many States. However,
dry conditions in Texas hindered the crop, leading to some abandoned acres and low yields in South Texas. Nationally, harvest was
87 percent complete by November 29, six points behind the 5-year average. Harvest in Kansas progressed rapidly during November
and by month’s end had advanced to 79 percent, but was still significantly behind the 5-year average of 95 percent.
Oats: The 2009 production is estimated at 93.1 million bushels, up 4 percent from last year’s record low production. A record high
yield is estimated at 67.5 bushels per acre, up 3.8 bushels from the previous year. Area planted to oats is estimated at 3.40 million
acres, up 5 percent from the record low set in 2008. This is the second lowest planted acreage on record. Harvested area is estimated
at a record low 1.38 million acres, 2 percent below last year. The largest decline occurred in Texas, where area harvested for grain
decreased 40,000 acres from last year.
In California, favorable growing conditions led to a 25 bushel increase in yield from last year and set a record high yield for the
State. In North Dakota and Wyoming, producers reported large increases of 17 bushels and 15 bushels per acre, respectively, while
in Georgia, average yield declined 13 bushels from last year.
During early spring, planting of the oat crop lagged behind the normal pace. By April 26, growers had planted 61 percent of the
acreage, 4 points behind normal. During April, emergence also trailed behind the normal pace. By the end of April, emergence was
37 percent complete, 3 points behind the 5-year average. As of May 24, the crop had advanced to 95 percent planted and 82 percent
emerged, 3 and 7 points behind the normal pace, respectively. Through June, crop development was behind normal in most major
oat-producing States. As of June 28, sixty-eight percent of the oat acreage was headed, 6 points behind the 5-year average. The crop
was most advanced in Texas and Ohio, where 100 percent and 90 percent, respectively, was at or beyond the heading stage. Crop
development was particularly behind normal in North Dakota with none of their crop having reached the heading stage, 32 points
behind the 5-year average.
By August 2, thirty-one percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 20 points behind the normal pace. Harvest in Texas was complete
with Nebraska following behind at 71 percent. In North Dakota, harvest had not yet begun and was 20 points behind normal. By
August 30, harvest was 85 percent complete in the major producing States, 11 points behind the 5-year average. Harvest progress
was the furthest behind in North Dakota and Minnesota, 44 and 21 points behind the 5-year average, respectively.
Barley: Production is estimated at 227 million bushels, down 5 percent from 2008. Average yield per acre, at 73.0 bushels, is up
9.4 bushels from last year and is the highest yield on record since estimates began in 1866. Producers seeded 3.57 million acres for
2009, down 16 percent from last year. This is the second lowest planted acreage on record. Harvested area, at 3.11 million acres, is
down 18 percent from 2008. Barley seedings decreased in 2 of the top 3 producing States. Producers in North Dakota seeded
1.21 million acres and harvested 1.13 million acres, both down 27 percent from the previous year, while producers in Idaho seeded
530,000 acres and harvested 510,000 acres, both down 12 percent from 2008. In Montana, seeded area increased 1 percent from
2008 to 870,000 acres, while harvested area decreased 3 percent to 720,000 acres. Minnesota, Oregon, and South Dakota producers
set new record lows for seeded acreage.
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 80 NASS, USDA
Soggy field conditions in April and early May hampered barley seeding and pushed National progress to almost 2 weeks behind
normal. Drier fields toward the end of May allowed producers in North Dakota to seed large portions of their barley crop, but
overall progress remained slow. As a result, crop emergence started slowly and remained behind the average pace throughout June.
Harvest was underway in the 5 major barley-producing States by August 9, but the pace was 28 percentage points behind normal.
Crop conditions remained better than last year throughout the growing season. On August 30, as harvest approached the halfway
point, 78 percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition.
All Wheat: Production totaled 2.22 billion bushels in 2009, down 11 percent from 2008. Grain area is 49.9 million acres, down
10 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is 44.4 bushels per acre, down 0.5 bushel from last year. The levels of production and
changes from last year by type are winter wheat, 1.52 billion bushels, down 18 percent; other spring wheat, 584 million bushels, up
7 percent; Durum wheat, 109 million bushels, up 30 percent.
Winter Wheat: The 2009 winter wheat production totaled 1.52 billion bushels, 18 percent below last year. The U.S. yield is
44.2 bushels per acre, down 2.9 bushels from the previous year. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 34.5 million acres, down
13 percent from the previous year.
Planted acres were up slightly from 2008 in the Hard Red Winter growing region. Harvested acres were down from last year in most
of the major growing States. Adverse weather conditions in Oklahoma and Texas resulted in a decrease in harvested acres from last
year. Abandoned acres in Texas are the third highest on record. Yields increased from last year in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska.
Nebraska’s yield of 48.0 bushels per acre is tied for a record high yield. Yields in Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas decreased from
2008. Production increased from 2008 in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska while production fell in Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
Overall, Hard Red Winter production totaled 919 million bushels, down 11 percent from 2008.
Planted and harvested acres decreased across all of the Soft Red Winter growing area. Yields were down from 2008 in Illinois and
Missouri but up in Ohio. Production was down from last year in all of the Soft Red Winter growing States. Production was down
38 percent in both Illinois and Missouri but down only 5 percent in Ohio. Overall, Soft Red Winter production is 404 million
bushels, down 34 percent from last year when 614 million bushels were produced.
White Winter production is 200 million bushels, down 9 percent from last year. Harvested acreage in the Pacific Northwest States
(Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) is below last year’s level. Yields were up from last year in Idaho and Washington but down in
Oregon.
Other Spring Wheat: Production for 2009 is estimated at 584 million bushels, up 7 percent from 2008. Harvested area is
13.0 million acres, down 4 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is a record high 45.1 bushels per acre, 4.6 bushels higher than last
year and 1.9 bushels higher than the previous record set in 2004. Yields are above last year’s level in all States except Minnesota,
Nevada, South Dakota, and Utah. North Dakota’s yield of 46.0 bushels per acre is also a record high, 4.0 bushels higher than the
previous record set in 1992.
A cool, wet spring delayed planting in many of the major spring wheat-producing States. The growing season was marked by below
normal temperatures and adequate moisture. Crop maturation continued behind normal throughout the growing season. As a result,
harvest progress lagged behind the normal in most States in the growing area
Durum Wheat: Production for 2009 is estimated at 109 million bushels, up 30 percent from 2008. Grain area harvested is
2.43 million acres, down 6 percent from the previous year. The U.S. yield is a record high 44.9 bushels per acre, 12.3 bushels higher
than last year and 5.2 bushels higher than the previous record set in 1992. Yields are above last year’s level in all States except
California. North Dakota’s yield of 39.0 bushels per is 1.0 bushel higher than the previous record set in 1992.
Rice: Production in 2009 is estimated at 220 million cwt, up 1 percent from the previous forecast and up 8 percent from 2008.
Planted area is estimated at 3.14 million acres, up 5 percent from 2008. Area harvested, at 3.10 million acres, is up slightly from the
previous forecast and up 4 percent from the previous crop year. The average yield for all U.S. rice is estimated at 7,085 pounds per
acre, up 47 pounds from the previous forecast and 239 pounds above the 2008 yield.
Planted area is up from 2008 in all rice-producing States except Louisiana and Texas. Growers in Arkansas, the largest
rice-producing State, planted 1.49 million acres in 2009, up 6 percent from the previous year. Planted area in California, the second
largest rice-producing State, is up 8 percent from last year and totaled 561,000 acres.
While overall yield is up from last season’s hurricane reduced crop, higher yields were initially expected in many locations.
However, heavy rains and wet field conditions during what should have been the peak of harvest delayed harvest activities and
damaged the crop in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Missouri. Harvest in Texas and Louisiana was mostly complete by the time the rains
arrived in October and harvest progressed normally during the season in California. Record high yields were attained in Louisiana
and Texas, while the California yield tied the record high previously set in 2004.
Long grain rice yielded 6,743 pounds per acre across the Nation with production at 153 million cwt. Medium grain rice yielded
8,052 pounds per acre in 2009 with production at 63.3 million cwt. Short grain rice yielded 7,373 pounds per acre with production at
3.83 million cwt.

Rye: Production for 2009 is estimated at 6.99 million bushels, down 12 percent from last year. Harvested area totaled
252,000 acres, down 17,000 acres from 2008. The U.S. yield, at 27.8 bushels per acre, is down 1.9 bushels from last year.
Oklahoma’s harvested acres and yield are down from 2008 due to freeze and drought.
Proso Millet: Production of proso millet in 2009 totaled 9.87 million bushels, down 34 percent from 2008. Planted area, at
350,000 acres, is down 33 percent, while harvested area, at 293,000 acres, is down 36 percent from last year. Harvested acreage
declined from 2008 in all estimating States. The average yield is estimated at 33.7 bushels per acre, up 1.4 bushels from last year.
All Hay: Production of dry hay for 2009 is estimated at 147 million tons, down 3 percent from the October 1 forecast but up
1 percent from the 2008 total. Area harvested is at 59.8 million acres, down 1 percent from the October 1 forecast and down
1 percent from 2008. The average yield, at 2.47 tons per acre, is down 0.07 ton from October but up 0.04 ton from the previous year.
Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Production in 2009 is estimated at 71.0 million tons, down 1 percent from both the previous forecast
and 2008. Harvested area, at 21.2 million acres, is 1 percent above both the October 1 forecast and the previous year. The average
yield is 3.35 tons per acre, 0.08 ton below the previous forecast but 0.02 ton above 2008.
States with a 100,000 acre or more increase in harvested area from last year are Kansas, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and
Wyoming. Compared with 2009, Wyoming showed the largest increase in harvested acres, up 160,000 acres. States with the largest
decreases in harvested acres include Iowa, down 230,000 acres, and Michigan and Missouri each down 70,000 acres. Yields are up
in the extreme Western States and the Upper Missouri Valley area. Yields are down in the Cornbelt, as well as many of the New
England States. Arizona recorded the highest alfalfa hay yield of 8.50 tons per acre while Maine and Rhode Island had the lowest
yield at 1.70 tons.
All Other Hay: Production in 2009 totaled 76.4 million tons, down 5 percent from the October 1 forecast and down slightly from
2008. Area for harvest, at 38.5 million acres, is down 2 percent from October and down 1 percent from last year. The average yield
is estimated at 1.98 tons per acre, down 0.08 ton from October but up 0.03 ton from last year.
All States in the Southeast experienced higher yields from the previous year except Florida, which decreased 0.30 ton per acre.
Yield changes in all other States were mostly mixed. Arizona had the highest yield increase from last year at 0.80 ton per acre while
California recorded the largest yield decrease, 0.70 ton per acre. States with a 100,000 acre or more decrease from last year include
Alabama, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota. The largest decrease occurred in
North Dakota, down 380,000 acres from last year followed by Kansas with a 350,000 acre decrease. States with acreage increases
from last year were lead by Oklahoma and Texas with 300,000 and 200,000 acre increases, respectively.
Forage: Eighteen States participate in the forage estimation program, which measures annual production of forage crops, with an
emphasis on total alfalfa production. Haylage and greenchop production is converted to 13 percent moisture and combined with dry
hay production to derive the total forage production. The total 2009 all haylage and greenchop production for the 18 States in the
forage program is 31.5 million tons, of which 21.3 million tons are from alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures. The total all haylage
production is down is 2 percent from last year. Wisconsin, the leading haylage and greenchop producing State, harvested
1.50 million acres of all haylage and greenchop in 2009, of which 1.40 million were alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures, both unchanged
from last year. The 18 State total forage area harvested is 35.8 million acres, including 15.7 million acres from alfalfa and alfalfa
mixtures. The total forage harvested area is 723,000 acres lower than 2008 and the total forage production is down 4 percent from
last year. The U.S. yield is estimated at 2.78 tons per acre, down 0.60 ton from the previous year.
New Seedings of Alfalfa and Alfalfa Mixtures: Growers seeded 2.67 million acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures during 2009,
down 1 percent from the 2008 seeded area of 2.70 million acres. The largest decrease occurred in California, down 70,000 acres
from 2008 while the largest increase was in Oklahoma with an additional 55,000 acres. The new seedings of alfalfa and alfalfa
mixtures will normally be harvested for the first time in the year following planting.
Peanuts: Production is estimated at 3.69 billion pounds, up 2 percent from the previous forecast but down 29 percent from 2008.
Planted area is estimated at 1.12 million acres, down 27 percent from 2008. Area harvested is estimated at 1.08 million acres, down
28 percent from the previous crop year. Yields are estimated at 3,412 pounds per acre, up 59 pounds from the previous forecast but
down 14 pounds from 2008.
Production in the Southeast States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and South Carolina) is estimated at 2.79 billion pounds,
up 2 percent from the previous forecast but down 27 percent from 2008. Planted area is estimated at 851,000 acres, down 25 percent
from 2008. Harvested area is estimated at 828,000 acres, down 25 percent from the previous crop year. Yields in the region are
estimated at 3,373 pounds per acre, up 39 pounds from the previous forecast but 60 pounds lower than the 2008 average yield.
Yields are down or unchanged from the previous crop year in Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and South Carolina. However, in
Georgia, the leading peanut-producing State, yield is a record high 3,530 pounds per acre. Timely rains during the growing season,
new varieties, and low disease and insect pressure contributed to Georgia’s record yield.
Virginia-North Carolina production is estimated at 289 million pounds, up slightly from the previous forecast but down 34 percent
from 2008. Planted area is estimated at 79,000 acres, down 35 percent from the previous crop year. Area for harvest, which is
estimated at 78,000 acres, is down 36 percent from 2008. The average yield is estimated at 3,700 pounds per acre, up 15 pounds
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 82 NASS, USDA
from the previous forecast and up 69 pounds from 2008. A record high yield is estimated in Virginia and yield in North Carolina is
tied with the previous record high set in 2008.
Southwest peanut production (New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas) is estimated at 607 million pounds, up 3 percent from the
previous forecast but down 34 percent from 2008. Planted area is estimated at 186,000 acres, down 35 percent from the previous
crop year. Acreage for harvest is estimated at 175,000, down 37 percent from 2008. The average yield for the region is estimated at
3,469 pounds per acre, up 173 pounds from the previous forecast and up 159 pounds from the previous crop year. Yields are down
from last season in New Mexico and Oklahoma but are up in Texas due primarily to favorable growing conditions.
Canola: Production in 2009 is 1.47 billion pounds, up 2 percent from 2008 but down 2 percent from the October 1 forecast. The
yield, at 1,811 pounds per acre, is up 350 pounds from last year’s yield but down 50 pounds from October. The yield is the highest
since records began in 1991. Planted area is estimated at 827,000 acres, 18 percent below last year’s acreage. Harvested area, at
814,000 acres, is also down 18 percent from 2008. Production in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is estimated at
1.33 billion pounds, up 2 percent from last year. Although planted area in North Dakota is down 20 percent from last year, the yield
is up 380 pounds to a record high 1,840 pounds per acre.
Sunflower: The 2009 sunflower production totaled 3.04 billion pounds, down 11 percent from 2008. The U.S. average yield per
acre increased 125 pounds from last year to a record high 1,554 pounds. Planted area, at 2.03 million acres, is 19 percent below last
year. Area harvested decreased 18 percent from last year to 1.95 million acres.
Production in North Dakota, the leading sunflower-producing State, is estimated at 1.32 billion pounds, down 13 percent from 2008.
The yield in North Dakota, at 1,518 pounds per acre, is up 119 pounds from 2008 and is the third highest yield on record. Compared
with last year, planted and harvested area in North Dakota decreased by 21 and 20 percent, respectively. Yields, compared with last
year, are up in all major sunflower-producing States except Minnesota and Nebraska. The average yield in Colorado, Kansas, and
South Dakota is the highest on record.
U.S. production of oil-type sunflower varieties, at 2.58 billion pounds, decreased 14 percent from 2008. Harvested acres are down
20 percent from the previous year but the yield increased by 111 pounds to 1,563 pounds per acre. The U.S. average yield for
oil-type varieties is the second highest on record.
Production of non-oil sunflower varieties, at 452 million pounds, increased 5 percent from last year. Area harvested, at
300,500 acres, is down 10 percent from 2008. The average yield increased by 221 pounds from last year to a record high
1,506 pounds per acre.
As harvest of sunflowers began in early October, progress was ahead of normal in North Dakota but lagged behind normal in
Colorado, Kansas, and South Dakota. As of October 4, harvest progress in Colorado, Kansas, and South Dakota was 5, 8, and
4 percentage points behind normal, respectively. Through October, harvest in all 4 States progressed behind last year and the 5-year
average as periods of heavy rain during the month slowed harvest. By November 1, harvest was only 15 percent complete in the
4 major States, compared with the 5-year average of 57 percent. Harvest progress continued to lag behind normal through November
and did not reach 90 percent harvested in the 4 major States until November 29, more than a week behind normal.
Soybeans: Production in 2009 totaled 3.36 billion bushels, up 1 percent from the November 1 forecast and up 13 percent from 2008.
U.S. production is the largest on record. The average yield per acre is estimated at 44.0 bushels, 0.7 bushel above the
November forecast and 4.3 bushels above last year=s yield. Planted area for the Nation, at a record 77.5 million acres, is up 2 percent
from 2008. Soybean growers harvested a record 76.4 million acres, up 2 percent from last year but down slightly from November.
Yields are up or unchanged from last year in all States except Arkansas, Illinois, Mississippi, New York, and South Carolina.
Despite the soybean crop developing at a slower pace than normal for most of the growing season, conditions were generally good as
most growing regions received ample moisture. Compared with last year, the largest yield increases occurred in Delaware,
Kentucky, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, and Tennessee, where yields increased by more than 10 bushels from last year when
extreme heat late in the 2008 growing season reduced yields. Meanwhile, the biggest decline from last year occurred in South
Carolina, where yields are down 7 bushels from 2008 as drought conditions for much of the year combined with excessive late
moisture to hamper yields. New record high yields were set in Alabama, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, Ohio, and
Tennessee, while record high yields were tied in Florida, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and South Dakota.
The 2009 soybean objective yield survey data indicate that final average pod counts were higher than last year in eight of the eleven
objective yield States. Compared with last year, pod counts were up more than 10 percent in South Dakota and up more than
25 percent in Missouri. The only States that showed a decrease in pod counts from last year were Illinois, Indiana, and North
Dakota.
Planting of the 2009 soybean crop began slowly as wet, cool weather during April across most of the major growing areas delayed
progress. Heavy rains during early May continued to delay planting progress, but conditions did improve around the middle of the
month to allow significant progress to be made. However, rainy weather returned during the last week of May to again slow planting
progress. As of May 31, planting progress had returned to near normal in many States, but remained 13 points behind the 5-year
average Nationally and at least 28 points behind normal in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Dakota, and Tennessee. In
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 83 NASS, USDA
turn, the crop began emerging well behind normal, as only 36 percent of the crop had emerged by May 31, fifteen points behind the
5-year average.
A pattern of wet weather continued to hamper progress into early June, but conditions during the latter part of June allowed planting
to reach 96 percent by June 28. Emergence of the crop lagged behind normal throughout the month of June and by the end of the
month, plant emergence was only at 91 percent, 4 points behind normal. Emergence was the furthest behind in Illinois, where only
76 percent of the crop had emerged by June 28, twenty points behind the 5-year average. In general, the U.S. crop developed
favorably during July, but progress remained behind average as cooler than normal temperatures for much of the month slowed
development. As of August 2, seventy-six percent of the Nation’s crop was blooming, unchanged from last year, but 10 points
behind normal. Thirty-six percent of the acreage was setting pods by August 2, on pace with last year but 18 percent behind the
5-year average. The percentage of the crop setting pods was behind normal in all States and was at least 35 percentage points behind
normal in Illinois, Michigan, and North Dakota.
During August, the crop developed rapidly and progress had nearly returned to normal by the end of the month. By August 30,
ninety-three percent was at or beyond the pod-setting stage, on pace with last year but 3 points behind normal. As of August 30,
sixty-nine percent of the U.S. soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 12 percentage points above the same week in
2008. Crop conditions declined during August in Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Nebraska, and South Dakota, but increased
across the rest of the major growing region. Increases of more than 7 points in percent rated good to excellent occurred in Michigan,
Mississippi, North Carolina, and Wisconsin as timely rains during August improved the crop condition.
Nationally, the soybean crop continued to mature later than normal during September as plants dropped leaves at a pace that was
behind normal in all major soybean-producing States. As of October 4, seventy-nine percent of acreage was dropping leaves or
beyond, 2 points behind last year’s pace and 9 points behind the 5-year average. Harvest progress, at 15 percent complete, was
13 points behind last year’s pace and 21 points behind normal. Crop conditions improved during September in Kansas, Kentucky,
Nebraska, North Carolina, and Ohio, but declined or were unchanged across the rest of the major growing region. Louisiana and
Mississippi showed the largest declines in crop condition, down 8 and 19 percentage points from the previous month, respectively.
Prior to October, the lateness of the harvest was largely attributed to the crop maturing late as a result of spring planting delays.
However, excessive rainfall during the month of October caused harvest progress to fall further behind normal across most of the
Nation. October rainfall totals were greater than 200 percent of normal in numerous locations across the Corn Belt, Great Plains, and
Delta States. Condition ratings deteriorated in many of those areas, particularly in Mississippi where only 24 percent of the crop was
rated good to excellent as of November 1, down 22 points from the beginning of October and down 41 points from early September.
As of November 1, only 51 percent of the U.S. soybean crop had been harvested, 36 points behind normal. Harvest progress was
more than 16 points behind normal in all of the 18 major soybean-producing States, except Ohio and North Carolina, and was more
than 40 points behind normal in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Wisconsin. By November 29, conditions allowed
harvest progress to reach 96 percent complete, but progress in North Carolina, at 56 percent complete, remained 11 points behind
normal due to above normal precipitation during the latter part of November. The movement of soybeans by barge down the
Mississippi River was substantially higher following the 2009 harvest when compared with a year earlier as soybeans were being
exported at record high levels. Weather conditions in the Gulf port region during early December hampered the unloading of barges.
Flaxseed: Production of flaxseed in 2009 totaled 7.42 million bushels, up 30 percent from last year and 26 percent above 2007.
Harvested area totaled 314,000 acres in 2009, down 8 percent from last year, while the average yield, at 23.6 bushels per acre, is up
6.8 bushels from 2008 and represents a new record high for the U.S. Production increased from the previous year in Montana, North
Dakota, and South Dakota, while production decreased in Minnesota.
In North Dakota, the leading flaxseed-producing State, production totaled 7.03 million bushels in 2009, up 28 percent from 2008.
Growers harvested 293,000 acres of flaxseed, down 9 percent from last year. The average yield in North Dakota is estimated at a
record high 24.0 bushels per acre, up 7 bushels from last year and 3 bushels above the previous State record yield.
Safflower: Production of safflower in 2009, at 242 million pounds, is down 22 percent from 2008. Growers planted 175,000 acres
in 2009, a decrease of 13 percent from last year, while harvested area, at 165,500 acres, is down 15 percent from the previous year.
The yield, at 1,462 pounds per acre, decreased 130 pounds from 2008. California producers led the Nation, producing 142 million
pounds of safflower, down 43 percent from 2008.
Other Oilseeds: Mustard seed production for 2009 increased 20 percent from last year to 49.4 million pounds. Planted area, at
51,500 acres, is down 35 percent and harvested area, at 49,800 acres, is down 30 percent from 2008. The average yield is
991 pounds per acre, 414 pounds above a year ago and the highest yield since records began in 1991.
Rapeseed production increased 410 percent from last year’s record low crop to 1.53 million pounds. Growers planted 1,000 acres of
rapeseed in 2009, an increase of 800 acres from last year. Harvested area, at 900 acres, is up 700 acres from last year. The average
yield is 1,700 pounds per acre, up 200 pounds from last year.
Cotton: Upland cotton production is estimated at 12.0 million 480-pound bales, down 2 percent from the December 1 forecast and
down 3 percent from last year. The U.S. yield for upland cotton is estimated at 763 pounds per acre, down 11 pounds from last
month and down 40 pounds from 2008. Harvested area, at 7.55 million acres, is down slightly from last month but up 2 percent from
last year. Upland planted area, estimated at 9.01 million acres, is down 3 percent from last year.
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 84 NASS, USDA
Upland growers in the Southeastern States (Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia) finished
planting by mid-June. During the early summer months, producers experienced hot, dry conditions, but by the end of summer, cool,
wet weather dominated the region delaying crop development. By the middle of September, harvest was underway in North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, but had not started in Georgia and Alabama, well behind the 5-year average. By the middle
of October, defoliation and harvest was underway throughout the region. Harvest was completed by the end of December, well
behind normal. Producers in Georgia reported record high yields, surpassing the record set in 2005. North Carolina and Virginia
producers also reported record high yields, surpassing records set in 2004. Objective yield data in Georgia showed boll weights to be
the heaviest on record. In North Carolina, objective yield measurements showed the boll count per acre and the boll weight to be the
largest on record.
In the Delta States (Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, and Tennessee) producers finished planting by the middle of June.
The later planted crop lagged behind in development throughout the summer and into the fall. During the early part of September,
the region was hit with cool weather and excessive rain, further delaying development. By early October, harvest had begun
throughout the region and neared completion by the end of November, well behind normal. The objective yield data showed
Mississippi bolls per acre to be slightly below average but boll weights are the heaviest on record. In Louisiana, bolls per acre are
the second highest in the last 10 years.
Texas producers finished planting the upland crop by the end of June. In South Texas, producers battled extreme drought conditions
throughout the summer. By late July, harvest was underway and was complete by the end of August. In the Panhandle of Texas,
producers received hot weather coupled with timely rains during the summer to allow the upland cotton crop to develop ahead of
normal. During the early fall, the region received cooler than normal weather and development began to lag behind. By the end of
October, producers received the first freeze and near perfect harvest weather, allowing for rapid harvest progress. Harvest in the
Panhandle of Texas was complete by the end December, ahead of normal. Objective yield measurements in Texas showed bolls per
acre to be the lowest in the last 5 years with boll weights being the lightest in the last 4 years.
In Kansas and Oklahoma, producers finished planting by late June. Throughout the growing season, the upland crop developed
behind normal. In Oklahoma, harvest got underway in late September and was complete by the end of November. Kansas producers
started harvest in early November and completed harvest by the end of December.
Upland producers in California and Arizona completed planting in mid-June. The upland crop developed slightly behind normal
throughout the summer. By the end August, hot dry weather aided development and the crop progressed ahead of normal. In
Arizona, producers began harvest by the last of August, ahead of normal. In California, harvest was underway by the end of
September. Harvest throughout the region was complete by the beginning of December.
American-Pima producers planted 141,700 acres, down 19 percent from last year. Harvested area, at 138,500 acres, is down
18 percent from last year. Production is estimated at 390,300 bales (480-pound), up 6 percent from the August 1 forecast but down
9 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is estimated at 1,353 pounds per acre, up 148 pounds from the August 1 forecast and up
127 pounds from last year. Producers finished planting by the end of May. The crop developed normally throughout the summer
and fall. Harvest got underway by late September and was complete by the end of January.
All cotton ginnings totaled 10,819,300 running bales prior to January 1, compared with 11,572,250 running bales prior to the same
date last year and 15,700,350 running bales ginned by January 1, 2006.
Cottonseed: Production for 2009, based on a 3-year average lint-seed ratio, is expected to total 4.18 million tons, down 3 percent
from last year.
Tobacco: U.S. all tobacco production for 2009 totaled 823 million pounds, 1 percent above the October 1 forecast and up 3 percent
from 2008. Growers harvested 354,140 acres, up slightly from the previous forecast but virtually unchanged from a year ago. Yield
per acre averaged 2,325 pounds per acre, up 21 pounds from the previous forecast and 67 pounds greater than 2008.
Flue-cured tobacco production totaled 526 million pounds, 2 percent above the previous forecast and 5 percent greater than last year.
Harvested area totaled 224,000 acres in 2009, slightly above the October 1 forecast and a year ago. Acreage in North Carolina and
Virginia increased from last year while acreage decreased in all other flue-cured States. Yields averaged 2,350 pounds per acre,
43 pounds above the last forecast and up 111 pounds from 2008. Yield per acre increased from a year ago in North Carolina, the
leading flue-cured State. Wet soils delayed planting of tobacco in Georgia, while most other States reported ideal conditions for
tobacco growth.
Burley production totaled 215 million pounds, slightly below the October 1 forecast but 7 percent above last year. Growers
harvested 101,900 acres, slightly above the previous forecast and 5 percent above 2008. Yields averaged 2,108 pounds per acre,
7 pounds below October but 41 pounds above a year ago.
Sugarbeets: Production for 2009 is estimated at 29.5 million tons, up slightly from the November 1 forecast and 10 percent above
last year. Growers in the 10 major sugarbeet-producing States planted 1.18 million acres, an increase of 8 percent from 2008, while
the area harvested totaled 1.15 million acres, up 14 percent from last year. Estimated yield, at 25.8 tons per acre, is 0.2 ton above the
November 1 forecast but 1.0 ton lower than last year’s record high.
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 85 NASS, USDA
Record high yields were set in Colorado, Montana, Nebraska, Oregon, and Wyoming, while Idaho’s yield was just slightly below the
record high set in 2007. Production increased from last year in all estimating States except California, Michigan, and North Dakota.
Sugarbeet planting was underway in the 4 largest States by the end of April, but progress was behind normal as abnormally wet
fields hampered spring fieldwork. After producers began digging sugarbeets in the Red River Valley, persistent rainfall throughout
the harvest season slowed progress. Overall, 98 percent of the Nation’s sugarbeets were harvested by November 15, slightly behind
the 5-year average of 99 percent.
Sugarcane: Production of sugarcane for sugar and seed in 2009 is estimated at 30.3 million tons, of which 28.4 million tons was
utilized for sugar and 1.87 million tons for seed. Total production for sugar and seed is up 4 percent from the December 1 forecast,
up 10 percent from 2008, and is the largest since 2003. Sugarcane producers harvested 877,700 acres for sugar and seed in 2009, up
3 percent from the December 1 forecast and up 1 percent from last year. Yield for sugar and seed is estimated at 34.5 tons per acre,
up 0.4 ton from the December 1 forecast and up 2.7 tons from 2008.
Harvested area for sugar and seed in Louisiana increased by 20,000 acres from 2008 driven mostly by the Columbian purchase of
cane land in several parishes that was put into production last year. Additionally, timely rainfall in Louisiana during the months of
August and September boosted crop growth, leading to the highest yield for sugar and seed in the State since 1999. Production
estimates for sugar and seed increased from 2008 in all estimating States except Hawaii where a reduction in acres coupled with
three abnormally dry growing seasons caused a decline in overall production.
Dry Beans: U.S. dry edible bean production is estimated at 25.4 million cwt for 2009, up 1 percent from the December 1 forecast
but 1 percent below 2008. Planted area is estimated at 1.54 million acres, up slightly from the December 1 forecast and 3 percent
above 2008. Harvested area totaled 1.46 million acres, 1 percent above the December 1 forecast and the previous year’s acreage.
Average U.S. yield, at 1,733 pounds per acre, decreased 4 pounds from December’s forecast and 35 pounds from 2008.
Production is higher than last year in 10 of the 17 States in the dry bean estimating program in 2009; however, in the top 4 producing
States, production is below last year. Production in North Dakota, the largest producing State, is down 15 percent from a year ago,
while Michigan dropped 3 percent from 2008. Minnesota and Nebraska’s production decreased 11 percent and 15 percent,
respectively.
In North Dakota, planting was delayed due to saturated fields and cool temperatures. Harvest began in mid-September, about two
weeks behind the 5-year average, and was essentially complete by mid-November. In Nebraska, hail and cool temperatures early in
the growing season left the crop susceptible to disease pressure. As a result, some reduced yields and low quality beans were
reported. Excessive moisture and cold weather slowed Minnesota’s dry bean maturation and harvest. Several growers reported
leaving acres in the fields or tilling them under.
Lentils: Production of lentils is estimated at 5.86 million cwt, up 145 percent from last year. Acreage, yield, and production
increased in all four estimating States. Area harvested totaled 407,000 acres, up 56 percent from the previous year. Average yield is
estimated at 1,440 pounds per acre, up 523 pounds per acre from 2008.
North Dakota’s production totaled 2.56 million cwt, more than three times greater than a year ago. Harvested area increased
82 percent from 2008, while yields increased by 640 pounds per acre to 1,560. Crop condition was rated mostly good throughout the
entire growing season. Harvest of the crop started the first week of August and was finished by mid-September.
Montana’s production totaled 1.60 million cwt, up 163 percent from last year. Harvested area increased 47 percent from 2008, while
yields increased by 610 pounds per acre to 1,380. Favorable growing conditions were more commonplace during this season, when
compared with 2008, which was negatively affected by high temperatures and limited precipitation.
Idaho’s production, at 650,000 cwt, was up 85 percent from a year ago, while Washington’s production, at 1,050 thousand cwt,
showed an increase of 74 percent from 2008.
Wrinkled Seed Peas: Production is estimated at 874,000 cwt in 2009, up 51 percent from 2008. Idaho production, at 180,000 cwt,
is up 13 percent from 2008. Production in Washington, at 694,000 cwt, increased 65 percent from last year.
Dry Edible Peas: Production of dry edible peas totaled 17.1 million cwt, up 40 percent from 2008. All program States showed
increased production from last season, except Oregon, which showed a slight decrease. This is the highest production since records
began in 1928. Area for harvest, at 837,900 acres, is 1 percent below a year ago. Average yield is estimated at 2,045 pounds per
acre, up 597 pounds from last season.
North Dakota’s dry edible pea production is estimated at 11.5 million cwt, up 46 percent from last season. Harvested acreage, at
480,000, is down 4 percent from a year ago, while yield, at 2,400 pounds per acre, is up 820 pounds from 2008. Soil moisture
supplies were rated mostly adequate in 2009 compared with very short to short during 2008. Normally, the western part of the State
has short moisture supplies during the growing season, however, 2009 was considered an optimum moisture supply crop year.
Production in Montana, at 3.01 million cwt, is up 20 percent from 2008. Harvested area decreased by 2 percent to 226,000 acres but
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
January 2010 86 NASS, USDA
yields increased by 250 pounds per acre to 1,330. Last year’s drought-like conditions were followed by a much cooler, wetter
growing season this year, which improved the crop.
Production in Washington and Idaho showed increases from a year ago at 42 percent and 44 percent, respectively.
Austrian Winter Peas: Production of Austrian winter peas totaled 182,000 cwt, up 75 percent from 2008. Area harvested is
estimated at 13,700 acres, up 71 percent from last year. Average yield is estimated at 1,328 pounds per acre, up 28 pounds per acre
from last season.
The Idaho Austrian winter pea production, at 96,000 cwt, is up 71 percent from last year. A wet spring combined with moderate
summer heat provided good growing conditions. Oregon’s production, at 30,000 cwt, is up 58 percent from last year’s crop.
Favorable growing conditions were reported this season. Montana’s production of 56,000 cwt is up 93 percent from last year.
Winter Potatoes: California’s 2009 winter potato production is estimated at 2.13 million cwt, down 1 percent from the April
estimate and 16 percent below 2008. Planted area in California remains unchanged from April, at 9,000 acres, but harvested area
decreased 300 acres. Planted area is down 18 percent from last year and harvested area is down 21 percent. Average yield is
245 cwt per acre, 5 cwt above the April estimate and 15 cwt above last year.
Spring Potatoes: Production for 2009 is estimated at 21.3 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the May forecast but 6 percent
higher than 2008. Area for harvest is forecast at 73,700 acres, up slightly from the previous forecast and 7 percent above 2008. The
average yield of 289 cwt per acre is down 2 cwt from the May forecast and 4 cwt lower than 2008.
Florida’s production is estimated at 7.70 million cwt, down 2 percent from the May forecast and 3 percent below the 2008
production. Heavy rains interrupted harvest, which resulted in unusual low yields. In California, production increased 4 percent
from last year. Growers in North Carolina produced 34 percent more spring potatoes than in the previous year due to a yield increase
of 45 cwt per acre. Most growers reported excellent growing conditions with better than average yields. Production in Texas
increased 16 percent from 2008 and Arizona increased 7 percent from last year.
Summer Potatoes: Growers produced 14.5 million cwt of summer potatoes in 2009, down 2 percent from the September forecast
but up 5 percent from 2008. Harvested area, at 43,000 acres, is down 5 percent from last year. The average yield of 336 cwt per acre
is 30 cwt above 2008. Production increased from the previous year in 6 of the 11 producing States.
In Missouri, production increased 67 percent from the previous year. The increase is due to yields returning to historic levels after
last year’s heavy rains. In Texas, production decreased 15 percent, largely due to a decline in harvested acres. In Virginia, spring
weather conditions benefitted crop growth and growers reported good yields. In California, production increased 6 percent from
2008.
Fall Potatoes: Production of fall potatoes for 2009 is estimated at 394 million cwt, virtually unchanged from the December forecast
but up 4 percent from last year. Area harvested, at 919,600 acres, is virtually unchanged from December and 2008. The average
yield is estimated at 428 cwt per acre, down 1 cwt from December but 17 cwt above last year’s record high.
Idaho’s yield is forecast at 411 cwt per acre. If realized, this will be the highest yield on record, 25 cwt above the record yield set in
2006. Production in Idaho is up 13 percent from last year. In eastern Washington, potato harvest was virtually completed by late
November. Despite weather delays, harvest progress was the same as last year’s pace and the 5-year average. In Colorado, growing
conditions were favorable in the San Luis Valley, however, an early frost and disease led to increase abandonment this year.
Oregon’s crop had a normal start without any widespread delays during planting. In California, favorable weather conditions aided
yields and resulted in good crop quality reports from growers.
In North Dakota, crop condition was rated fair to good throughout the growing season. Wisconsin growers reported above average
crop conditions and good quality. Cool temperatures and timely rain provided good growing conditions for Michigan potatoes.
In Maine, cool, dry conditions aided growers with an early start to potato planting. Warm weather was welcomed in mid-August, but
dry conditions continued in mid-September, preventing tubers from increasing in size.
All Potatoes: Total 2009 U.S. potato production from all four seasons is estimated at 431 million cwt, 4 percent above the 2008
crop but down 3 percent from 2007. Harvested area, at 1.05 million acres, is down slightly from 2008 and 7 percent below 2007.
The average yield, at 413 cwt per acre, is up 17 cwt from last two year’s record high yields. By season, fall production is up
4 percent from the previous year, summer is up 5 percent, spring increased 6 percent, and winter decreased 16 percent from 2008.
Sweet Potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2009 is estimated at 19.6 million cwt, up 7 percent from last season and 9 percent
above 2007. Growers harvested 97,700 acres, up slightly from last year. Yield per acre, at 201 cwt, is up 11 cwt from last year and
is a new record high.
In North Carolina, record highs were set for both yield and production. Yield was up 10 cwt and production was up 8 percent from
2008. Excellent growing conditions in California resulted in a record yield of 340 cwt per acre. Despite hot, dry conditions during
the summer followed by wet conditions in October, production was up 47 percent from last year. In Mississippi, the sweet potato
Crop Production 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board

crop suffered significant losses during the harvest season due to heavy rains.
Peppermint Oil: Production in 2009 is estimated at 6.38 million pounds, up 16 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated
at 69,800 acres, up 16 percent from 2008. Washington’s harvested area, at 16,500 acres, is up 500 acres from a year ago. Acreage in
Idaho, Indiana, Oregon, and Washington increased from 2008, while Michigan and Wisconsin showed a decrease from a year ago.
Production increased in all estimating States, except Michigan, where production remained the same as 2008. California was added
to the estimating program in 2009.
Spearmint Oil: Production is estimated at 2.70 million pounds for 2009, up 12 percent from last year. Harvested area is estimated
at 20,500 acres, up slightly from a year ago. Average yield is estimated at 132 pounds of oil per acre, up 14 pounds from last year.
Growers in Indiana, Michigan, and Washington showed increases in harvested acreage from a year ago, while Oregon and Wisconsin
producers showed acreage decreases, and Idaho estimated no change. Production increased in Indiana, Michigan, Oregon, and
Washington, while Idaho and Wisconsin showed a decrease.
Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2009 totaled 94.7 million pounds, up 17 percent from the 2008 crop of
80.6 million pounds and 57 percent above the 2007 production of 60.3 million pounds. Idaho’s production increased 8 percent in
2009. Production in Washington and Oregon increased 18 percent and 19 percent, respectively. Acreage in Idaho was up in 2009,
but decreased in Washington and Oregon. Yields increased in Washington to 2,533 pounds per acre, in Idaho to 1,943 pounds per
acre, and in Oregon to 1,948 pounds per acre.
Washington growers produced 79 percent of the U.S. hop crop for 2009. Zeus and Columbus/Tomahawk were the leading varieties
in Washington, accounting for 48 percent of the State’s hop crop. In Oregon, Nugget and Willamette were the leading varieties,
accounting for 70 percent of the State’s hop production.
Maple Syrup: The preliminary 2009 U.S. maple syrup production estimate totaled 2.33 million gallons, up 22 percent from last
year. This is the largest production since 1944. The preliminary number of taps is estimated at 8.65 million, 4 percent above the
2008 total of 8.33 million. Yield per tap is estimated to be 0.269 gallons, up 17 percent from the previous season. Vermont led all
States in production with 920,000 gallons, an increase of 30 percent from 2008 and the largest production since 1944. Production in
Maine reached a record high 395,000 gallons, up 65 percent from last year.
Temperatures were reported to be mostly favorable in all States except Pennsylvania. Producers in Pennsylvania experienced
weather fluctuations and reported temperatures that were mostly too warm for sap flow. On average, the season lasted 28 days
compared with 30 days last year. In most States, the season started later than last year. The earliest sap flow reported was January 15
in Pennsylvania. The latest sap flow reported was May 1 in New Hampshire.
Coffee: Hawaii coffee production is estimated at 8.00 million pounds (parchment basis) for the 2009-10 season, down 8 percent
from the previous year. Dry weather in Kona along with insect damage and volcanic smoke on the Big Island contributed to the
decrease in production.
Puerto Rico coffee production for the 2009-10 season is estimated at 9.50 million pounds (parchment basis), down 29 percent from
the previous season. Heavy rain during the flowering stage, insect damage, and a labor shortage negatively impacted coffee
production.
Taro: Hawaii taro production for the 2009 crop year is estimated at 4.00 million pounds, down 7 percent from the previous year.
Area in crop, at 445 acres, was up 55 acres from 2008. Adverse weather had a negative impact on the 2009 taro crop. Parts of the
growing area were affected by heavy rains and flooding while other areas experienced abnormally dry conditions. Apple snails and
leaf blight affected production for many taro growers as well.
