Yield is estimated at 57.5 bushels per acre, down 4.1 bushels from August and down 6.8 bushels from the previous year. Area planted to oats is estimated at a record low 2.50 million acres, down 4 percent from the previous estimate and down 20 percent from 2010. In total, record lows for planted acres were set in 24 States. Harvested area is estimated at a record low 940 thousand acres, up slightly from August but 26 percent below last year. Record lows for harvested area occurred in 19 States. Favorable growing conditions in the Southeast promoted significant yield increases compared with 2010, with Alabama and North Carolina yields tying record highs. Extreme drought conditions in Texas led to a large decline in yield from last year. Elsewhere, delayed planting caused by above average spring precipitation and combined with excessive heat during pollination in July led to a large drop in average yields in Minnesota and South Dakota. During early spring, planting of the oat crop was behind the normal pace. By April 24, growers had planted 41 percent of the acreage, 18 points behind normal. During April, emergence also was behind the normal pace. By April 24, emergence was 31 percent complete, 5 points behind the 5-year average. As of May 29, planting was 89 percent complete, 10 points behind the average. Seventy-four percent of the crop was emerged by May 29, nineteen points behind the normal pace. Through June, crop development remained behind normal in most major oat-producing States. As of June 26, fifty-two percent of the oat acreage was headed, 19 points behind the 5-year average. However, Texas was on pace with the 5-year average. By July 31, thirty percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 14 points behind the normal pace. However, harvest in Iowa, Nebraska, and Texas was ahead of the 5-year average. Although harvest was 94 percent complete in the nine major producing States by September 4, only 64 percent of the crop was harvested in North Dakota, 24 points behind the average. Barley: Production is estimated at 155 million bushels, down 8 percent from the August forecast and 14 percent below 2010, and the lowest since 1936. Average yield per acre, at 69.2 bushels, is down 3.9 bushels from the previous year. Producers seeded 2.56 million acres in 2011, down 11 percent from last year. This is the lowest planted acreage on record. Harvested area, at 2.24 million acres, is down 9 percent from 2010, and the lowest level since 1881. Seeded area in North Dakota establishes a record low for the State, while harvested area is the lowest since 1901. In addition, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, South Dakota, and Utah producers set new record lows for seeded acreage, while producers in New York seeded a record-tying low. Record lows for harvested area were set in Michigan and Wisconsin. A record high yield was set in North Carolina, while producers in Arizona reported a record-tying yield. Barley seeding was underway across much of the major producing regions by April 17, when 11 percent of the Nation's crop was in the ground, 8 percentage points behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Rain, snow, and unusually cool spring temperatures delayed the start of fieldwork in North Dakota by nearly 3 weeks when compared to normal. Emergence was evident in most States by May 1, but cool temperatures limited crop growth. With producers in North Dakota battling soggy fields well into June, Nationwide seeding progress remained well behind normal throughout the month. Warmer temperatures in portions of the barley-producing region promoted rapid crop emergence during the first half of June, with heading evident in Idaho, Minnesota, and Washington by July 3. The latter half of July brought warmer temperatures to much of the Northern Tier, promoting an increase in crop development and maturity. As August began, producers in Idaho, Minnesota, and North Dakota were harvesting this year's crop; however, progress in four of the five major estimating States was 20 percentage points or more behind the 5-year average. Harvest advanced quickly throughout the month as producers in Idaho, Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota ramped up fieldwork to help gain ground on what was a slower than normal crop year. By September 4, seventy-one percent of the Nation's barley crop was harvested, 10 percentage points behind normal. A warm, dry weather pattern dominated much of the West during September, allowing harvest progress to advance ahead of both last year and the average by September 25, when 97 percent of the crop was out of the field. Winter wheat: The 2011 winter wheat production totaled 1.49 billion bushels, down slightly from the August forecast but 1 percent above the previous year. The United States yield is 46.2 bushels per acre, down 0.1 bushel from August and down 0.6 bushel from 2010. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 32.3 million acres, up slightly from August and up 2 percent from the previous year. Planted and harvested acres were down from 2010 in most of the major Hard Red Winter (HRW) growing States. Persistently hot, dry conditions in this growing area, particularly in Texas and Oklahoma, resulted in acreage and yield reductions from the previous year in most States. Nationally, HRW production totaled 780 million bushels, down 23 percent from 2010. After seeing a reduction in 2010 area due to wet weather during planting, planted and harvested acres increased from a year ago across most of the Soft Red Winter (SRW) growing area. Due to excellent weather conditions through much of the season, production was up significantly from the previous year, with production in many of the SRW States up more than 100 percent from 2010. Record high yields were experienced in Alabama, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. Overall, SRW production totaled 458 million bushels, up 93 percent from 2010. White winter production totaled 256 million bushels, up 12 percent from the previous year. Planted and harvested acreage in the Pacific Northwest (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) was above 2010's level. Record high yields were experienced in Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Other spring wheat: Production for 2011 is estimated at 462 million bushels, down 11 percent from the August forecast and down 25 percent from 2010. Harvested area totaled 12.1 million acres, down 2 percent from August and down 10 percent from last year. The United States yield is 38.3 bushels per acre, down 4.2 bushels from August and 7.8 bushels lower than last year. Yields are below the previous year's level in all States except Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, where record high yields were achieved in all three States. Due to wet spring conditions, planting got off to a slow start in most of the major spring wheat-producing States. As of April 24, six percent of the crop had been planted, 19 points behind the 5-year average. The excessively wet conditions lingered into early summer and eventually reduced the total acres available for planting in North Dakota and Montana. By May 29, only 68 percent of the Nation's crop had been planted, 27 points behind the normal pace. Crop maturation continued behind normal throughout the growing season for most States. As a result, harvest progress lagged behind the 5-year average. By September 4, sixty-eight percent of the crop had been harvested, 13 points behind the 5-year average. However, warm, dry weather in early September promoted a rapid harvest pace, and by September 11, ninety-eight percent of the crop had been harvested, only1 percent behind the 5-year average. Durum wheat: Production for 2011 is estimated at 51.9 million bushels, down 9 percent from the August forecast and down 51 percent from 2010. Grain area harvested is 1.32 million acres, down 2 percent from August and down 48 percent from the previous year. The United States yield is 39.3 bushels per acre, down 3.1 bushels from August and down 2.8 bushels from 2010 but still the third highest yield on record, trailing only 2009 and 2010. Flooding and excessively wet conditions during spring and early summer reduced area available for planting in Montana and North Dakota and hampered crop development throughout the growing season. In North Dakota, planted and harvested acres are record lows. As of September 25, harvest progress in Montana and North Dakota was behind normal. Most notably, Montana was 10 points behind the 5-year average. Rye: Production for 2011 is estimated at 6.33 million bushels, down 15 percent from last year and the second lowest production on record. Harvested area totaled a record low 242,000 acres, down 23,000 acres from 2010. The United States yield, at 26.1 bushels per acre, is down 1.9 bushels from the previous year. Drought conditions in the Southern Great Plains and floods in the Northern Great Plains throughout the growing season led to yield decreases from a year earlier. Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted to gather information on small grain acreage, yield, and production. The objective yield survey was conducted in 10 States that accounted for over 60 percent of the 2011 winter wheat production. Early in the growing season, farm operators were interviewed to seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected winter wheat fields. Throughout the growing season, counts such as number of stalks, heads in late boot, and number of emerged heads were collected from these plots. The plots were revisited each month until crop maturity when the heads were clipped, threshed, and weighed. After the farm operator harvested the sample field, enumerators revisited the sample to obtain harvesting loss. The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interviewer. Approximately 66,000 producers were interviewed between August 30 and September 20 and asked questions pertaining to planted and harvested area as well as yield and production. Estimating Procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared with previous years. Each Field Office submits an estimate and written analysis for their State to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data, administrative data, and the State analysis to prepare the estimates published in this report. Revision Policy: Estimates contained in this report may be revised in the Crop Production Annual Summary report published in January should new information become available. Previous year acreage, yield, and production estimates can be revised in the Small Grain Summary published the following year, if new information is available that would justify a change. Estimates will also be reviewed after data for the 5-year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions will be made after that date. Reliability: The surveys used to make the acreage, yield, and production estimates contained in this report are subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. Reliability of the objective yield and farmer survey must be treated separately because the survey designs for the two surveys are different. The objective yield indications are subject to sampling variability because all acres of winter wheat are not included in the sample. The farm operator survey indications are also subject to sampling variability because all operations with small grains are not included in the sample. This variability, as measured by the relative standard error at the National level, is approximately 1.2 percent for winter wheat, 5.7 percent for Durum wheat, and 2.2 percent for other spring wheat. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates for production will be within plus or minus 2.4 percent for winter wheat, 11.4 percent for Durum wheat, and 4.4 percent for other spring wheat of the value that could be developed by averaging the estimates produced from all possible samples selected from the same population and surveyed using the same procedures. The relative standard errors for barley, oats and rye are 2.2, 3.0, and 7.4 percent, respectively. Survey indications are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for consistency and reasonableness.
