Biotechnology Varieties The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the June Agricultural Survey in all States each year. Randomly selected farmers across the United States were asked if they planted corn, soybeans, or Upland cotton seed that, through biotechnology, is resistant to herbicides, insects, or both. Conventionally bred herbicide resistant varieties are excluded. Insect resistant varieties include only those containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The Bt varieties include those that contain more than one gene that can resist different types of insects. Stacked gene varieties include only those containing biotech traits for both herbicide and insect resistance. The States published individually in the following tables represent 86 percent of all corn planted acres, 87 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 92 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

Spring Weather Summary Highlights: The central and eastern United States rebounded from a harsh winter, although lingering cool, wet conditions delayed spring planting activities for several weeks in some areas-especially across northern portions of the Plains and Corn Belt. Much warmer weather arrived across the northern Plains and Midwest during the second half of May, promoting the germination and establishment of late-planted crops. Farther south, late-spring rainfall on the central and southern Plains benefited summer crops and revived rangeland and pasture, but arrived too late to salvage a winter wheat crop that had been battered by drought, winter weather extremes, and spring freezes. Meanwhile, a late-spring drying trend across the interior Northwest became an agricultural concern with respect to rangeland, pastures, winter wheat, and spring-sown crops, despite wetness earlier in the season. Elsewhere, occasional spring showers from California into the Southwest failed to significantly dent a three-year drought or improve water-supply prospects. Above-normal temperatures aggravated the drought situation in California and neighboring areas, as a meager snowpack melted early and late-spring heat boosted irrigation demands. Spring temperatures averaged at least 2 to 4°F above normal in much of California and parts of adjoining States, while near-to below-normal temperatures prevailed from the Plains to the East Coast. Spring was slowest to arrive in the upper Great Lakes region, where March-May temperatures averaged at least 4 to 6°F below normal. Below-normal spring precipitation dominated the central and southern Plains and the Southwest, despite widespread, late-May rainfall. Much of the remainder of the country experienced near-to above-normal precipitation, with the wettest areas-relative to normal-including the Pacific Northwest, parts of the upper Midwest, and portions of the eastern Gulf Coast region. Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Climatic Data Center, spring featured regionally contrasting temperatures and drier-than-normal conditions across much of the central and south-central United States. Conversely, spring wetness was noted in many northern and southeastern States. The Nation's average March-May temperature of 51.1°F was 0.2°F above the 20th century mean, while the average precipitation of 8.01 inches was 101 percent of normal-marking the 51st-warmest, 52nd-wettest spring since 1895. Generally cool weather in the central and eastern United States contrasted with spring warmth in the West. As a result, State temperature rankings ranged from the 11th-coolest spring in Louisiana and Wisconsin to the fifth-warmest March-May period in California. Meanwhile, State precipitation rankings ranged from the third-driest spring in Kansas to the fourth-wettest spring in Washington. March: Under a dry, windy weather regime, worsening drought led to declines in rangeland, pasture, and winter wheat conditions across the central and southern Plains. By March 30, the portion of the wheat crop rated in very poor to poor condition included 59 percent in Texas, 44 percent in Oklahoma, and 25 percent in Kansas, compared to 46, 31, and 22 percent, respectively, just 4 weeks earlier. Meanwhile, wintry conditions refused to yield from the northern Plains into the Northeast. Chicago was among several Midwestern locations reporting a record-low average temperature from December to March. And in the Northeast, a large number of communities noted record-low March average temperatures, as well as a record-high number of sub-zero days in March. Due to low temperatures and frequent snowfall, much of the Nation's northern tier remained covered by snow at month's end. In addition, an end-of-month blizzard struck the Dakotas and neighboring areas, bringing snow back to some areas where it had only recently melted. Farther west, a second consecutive month of wet weather affected areas from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies. Wetness was a contributing factor to a deadly mudslide in western Washington, but also bolstered Northwestern water-supply prospects and aided pastures and winter grains. In contrast, California, the Great Basin, and much of the Southwest neared the end of a third consecutive year of drought, although locally significant, late-month storminess aided rain-fed crops and temporarily eased irrigation demands. Elsewhere, abundant rainfall soaked portions of the South and East. In combination with below-normal temperatures, spring fieldwork-including corn, rice, and sorghum planting-was mostly behind schedule across the Deep South during March. By March 30, corn was 30 percent planted in Mississippi, 28 percent in Texas, and 18 percent in Arkansas, compared to respective five- year averages of 47, 48, and 30 percent. In addition, late-month freezes- mainly on March 26-27-threatened, but did not appear to significantly harm, blooming Southeastern fruits. April: April was another devastatingly dry, dusty, windy month across the southern High Plains, perpetuating an historic, 31/2-year drought. Cold spells in mid-April and again at month's end caused further declines in winter wheat condition due to freeze injury. By May 4, the portion of the winter wheat crop rated in very poor to poor condition included 73 percent in Oklahoma, 64 percent in Texas, 47 percent in Kansas, and 37 percent in Colorado. Just 4 weeks earlier, on April 6, those numbers had stood at 48, 61, 27, and 33 percent, respectively. The southern Plains' ongoing drought also continued to adversely affect rangeland and pastures. In stark contrast, stubbornly cold, wet conditions prevented or sharply limited spring fieldwork from the northern Plains into the Great Lakes region. In major spring wheat-production States such as Minnesota and North Dakota, planting delays were similar to those observed last year. Outside of the upper Midwest, planting delays were less significant. In fact, corn planting by May 4 was ahead of the five-year average pace in southern Corn Belt States such as Missouri and Illinois. Meanwhile, widespread to locally excessive rain fell across the South, except for dry conditions in the western Gulf Coast region. The rain favored pasture growth but caused planting delays for crops such as cotton and rice. Toward month's end, torrential rainfall in southern Alabama and western Florida triggered flash flooding. Late-month downpours also caused flooding in portions of the northern Mid-Atlantic States. Elsewhere, occasional April showers failed to provide significant relief to drought-stricken areas from California into the Southwest. Any precipitation benefits, such as greening of pastures and short-term reductions in irrigation requirements, were temporary, with little effect on Western water-supply prospects. May: Heavy rain drenched the drought-ravaged southern High Plains from May 21-26, providing much needed moisture for rangeland, pastures, and summer crops. However, the rain arrived too late to benefit the southern Plains' winter wheat, irreversibly harmed by drought, winter weather extremes, and spring freezes. By June 1, a substantial portion of the winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition in Oklahoma (78 percent), Texas (64 percent), and Kansas (62 percent). Meanwhile, planting delays persisted during the first half of the month across northern portions of the Plains and Corn Belt, mainly due to cool, wet weather and low soil temperatures. During the second half of the month, sudden warmth favored a rapid planting pace-along with corn, soybean, and spring wheat emergence and development-despite occasional showers. Fieldwork also quickly advanced across the remainder of the Midwest, leaving corn planting nearly finished (95 percent complete) by June 1. In fact, a substantial portion of the United States corn and soybeans-66 and 73 percent, respectively-were planted during the 4-week period ending June 1. Similarly, warm weather and periodic showers across the South promoted fieldwork with only minor delays, as well as pasture growth, winter wheat maturation, and summer crop development. Elsewhere, warm, mostly dry weather dominated areas west of the Rockies. California, completing a third consecutive drought year, faced a growing strain on limited water supplies-in part due to increased irrigation demands. Low reservoir levels also remained a concern in several other States, stretching from Oregon and Nevada into the Southwest. In addition, drought concerns spread into portions of the interior Northwestern wheat belt. Crop Comments Corn: The 2014 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 91.6 million acres, down 4 percent from last year. This represents the lowest planted acreage in the United States since 2010; however, this is the fifth largest corn acreage in the United States since 1944. Growers expect to harvest 83.8 million acres for grain, down 4 percent from last year. Farmers responding to the survey indicated that 98 percent of the intended corn acreage had been planted at the time of the interview, the same as the 10-year average. The start of this year's corn planting was delayed due to late season winter storms and lingering cold weather which hampered fieldwork across most of the Midwest. By April 13, producers had planted 3 percent of this year's corn crop, only slightly ahead of last year's very slow start but 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Planting progress was behind normal in all States except Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas, and Wisconsin. More favorable weather conditions returned to the major corn producing areas by month's end, allowing planting progress to advance rapidly. By April 27, producers had planted 19 percent of this year's corn crop, 14 percentage points ahead of last year. Planting progress was most rapid in the eastern Corn Belt. Despite these improvements, many producers chose to wait on planting because of the cool, wet soil conditions. By May 4, producers had planted 29 percent of this year's corn crop, 18 percentage points ahead of last year but 13 points behind the 5-year average. Planting progress was most rapid in the western areas of the major corn-producing region. Weather conditions improved significantly during the week ending May 11, when 59 percent of the corn was in the ground, 33 percentage points ahead of last year but only slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Planting progress was rapid across the Corn Belt, advancing 47 percentage points in Iowa, 41 points in Indiana, and 35 points in Illinois during the week ending May 11. Nationally, 18 percent of the corn crop was emerged at this time, 13 percentage points ahead of last year, but 7 points behind the 5-year average. By May 18, planting progress was ahead of normal in southern regions of the Corn Belt but the northern States of Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin were at least 25 percentage points behind their respective 5-year averages. Warmer weather promoted double-digit emergence in 14 of the 18 major estimating States. As May drew to a close, dry, warm conditions across the corn-producing regions aided planting progress and crop development. By May 25, producers had planted 88 percent of this year's crop, 4 percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. Progress was well ahead of normal in Illinois and Indiana. By the end of the month, 60 percent of the Nation's corn crop had emerged, 11 percentage points ahead of last year but 4 points behind the 5-year average. At the start of June, 95 percent of this year's corn crop was planted, 5 percentage points ahead of last year. Eighty percent of the corn crop was emerged at this time. Above-average temperatures in much of the Corn Belt aided producers in finishing planting and promoted the development of the newly planted crop. Overall, 76 percent of the corn was reported in good to excellent condition, compared with 63 percent at the same time last year. Sorghum: Area planted to sorghum in 2014 is estimated at 7.47 million acres, down 7 percent from last year. Kansas and Texas, the leading sorghum producing States, account for 78 percent of the United States acreage. Growers expect to harvest 6.40 million acres for grain, down 2 percent from last year. As of June 22, eighty-eight percent of the crop had been planted, 3 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5- year average. Fifty-seven percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition on June 22, compared with 54 percent at the same time last year. Oats: Area seeded to oats for the 2014 crop year is estimated at 3.03 million acres, up less than 1 percent from 2013. This represents the fourth-lowest United States planted area on record. Record low planted acreage is estimated in California, Montana, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Wyoming, and Virginia. Growers expect to harvest 1.15 million acres, up 12 percent from last year but the fourth lowest harvested acreage on record. Record low harvested acreage is expected in California and Montana. Oat seeding was well underway by April 13 with 9 percent of the Nation's crop sown. By May 11, fifty-six percent of the crop was seeded, 23 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationally, oat emergence also followed a slower than normal pace. As of June 1, heading was running behind normal in most of the major oat-producing States. As of June 22, sixty-four percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition compared with 57 percent at the same time last year. Barley: Producers seeded 3.09 million acres of barley for the 2014 crop year, down 11 percent from the previous year. This represents the third-lowest seeded area on record. Harvested area, forecast at 2.63 million acres, is down 12 percent from 2013. Record low planted acreage is estimated in California, Michigan, and New York. While barley seeding advanced ahead of the normal pace in Montana and the Pacific Northwest in April, producers in Minnesota and North Dakota battled lingering unfavorable field conditions as they began sowing their fields in early-May. However, more favorable planting conditions in May allowed barley producers to make up for lost time. By June 8, seeding was complete or virtually complete in Idaho, Montana, and Washington and over 90 percent complete in Minnesota and North Dakota. Winter wheat: The 2014 winter wheat planted area is estimated at 42.3 million acres, up less than 1 percent from the previous estimate but down 2 percent from last year. States with notable acreage increases from the previous estimate were Idaho and South Dakota. Of the total acreage, about 30.4 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 8.50 million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.41 million acres are White Winter. Record high acreage was planted in North Dakota. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 32.4 million acres, down slightly from the previous forecast but up slightly from last year. Harvested acres are up significantly from last year in the Northern Great Plains and Rocky Mountain regions. Conversely, decreases from last year are expected throughout the Soft Red Winter growing region due to reduced planted acres. If realized, harvested acres will be a record low in California. The Southern Great Plains (Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas) harvested area is forecasted at 13.6 million acres, down 3 percent from last year and the second lowest harvested area since 1957. The harvested to planted ratio in Oklahoma is forecasted at 57 percent, the second lowest ratio on record, only behind 1983. As of June 22, harvest was 33 percent complete, 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average pace. Harvest in Kansas, the leading producing State, was 24 percent complete at this time, 10 percentage points behind normal. Durum wheat: Area seeded to Durum wheat is estimated at 1.47 million acres, down slightly from 2013. North Dakota, the largest producing Durum wheat State, is estimated at 870,000 acres, an increase of 9 percent from last year. This represents the fourth smallest North Dakota Durum wheat acreage on record. Area harvested for grain is expected to total 1.42 million acres, slightly below 2013. If realized, planted and harvested acres will be a record low in South Dakota. As of June 1, crop emergence stood at 40 percent in Montana and 29 percent in North Dakota, both significantly behind the 5-year average. Other spring wheat: Area seeded to other spring wheat is estimated at 12.7 million acres, up 10 percent from 2013. Of this total, about 12.0 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. North Dakota, the largest producing other spring wheat State, is estimated at 5.90 million acres, up 16 percent from last year. As of June 1, eighty-three percent of the intended North Dakota other spring wheat crop had been planted, 19 percentage points ahead of last year. Harvested area is expected to total 12.4 million acres, 9 percent above 2013. As of June 22, seventy-one percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 70 percent at the same time last year. Rye: The 2014 planted area for rye is estimated at 1.43 million acres, down 1 percent from 2013. Harvested area is expected to total 306,000 acres, up 10 percent from last year. As of June 22, rye in Oklahoma, the largest rye-producing State, was 44 percent harvested, 28 percentage points behind the 5-year average pace. Rice: Area planted to rice in 2014 is estimated at 3.05 million acres, up 22 percent from 2013. Area for harvest is forecast at 3.03 million acres, up 23 percent from last year. Lower prices for competing commodities is contributing to the increase in rice acres compared with last year. The acres planted to long grain rice in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Missouri account for the increase in both long grain and all rice planted acres. With California experiencing a severe drought, medium and short grain acres planted are estimated to decline by 11 and 33 percent, respectively in the State from 2013. The increase in medium grain acres in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas is helping to offset the acreage decline in California. As of June 15, ninety-nine percent of the rice crop had emerged, 2 percentage points ahead of last year and three percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Proso millet: Area planted to proso millet in 2014 is estimated at 470,000 acres, down 250,000 acres from 2013. Planted acreage decreased from last year in all three estimating States. Hay: Producers intend to harvest 57.6 million acres of all hay in 2014, down 1 percent from 2013. The expected harvested area of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures, at 18.2 million acres, is up 2 percent from 2013. Expected harvested area for all other types of hay totals 39.5 million acres, down 3 percent from 2013. Harvested area of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures is expected to increase throughout much of the upper Midwest and Northern Plains due to timely precipitation this spring. Other hay harvested acreage is expected to decline throughout much of the United States. All hay record high acreages are expected to be harvested in Florida and Oklahoma. Record lows are expected in Maryland, Nebraska, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Soybeans: The 2014 soybean planted area is estimated at a record high 84.8 million acres, up 11 percent from last year. Compared with last year, planted area increased or was unchanged in all 31 States with the exception of Oklahoma, which is showing a decline of 20,000 acres. Area for harvest, at 84.1 million acres, is up 11 percent from 2013 and will be a record high by more than 7.4 million acres, if realized. Planting conditions this spring were much improved compared with last year when wet conditions delayed planting in many areas of the Corn Belt and Delta. Planting of this year's soybean crop was underway by May 4 in all 18 major States with the exception of Minnesota and North Dakota. All States were underway by mid-May, with 33 percent of the crop planted by May 18, twelve percentage points ahead of last year's pace but 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Generally favorable conditions from late May into early June allowed planting progress to reach 92 percent by June 15, nine percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of normal. At that time, Arkansas and Mississippi were the only States where planting progress lagged behind normal by more than 5 percentage points. Fifty percent of the soybean crop had emerged by June 1, twenty-one percentage points ahead of last year's pace and 5 percentage points ahead of normal. Emergence advanced to 83 percent by June 15, with progress equal to or ahead of the normal pace in 14 of the 18 major States. Producers planted 94 percent of the 2014 soybean acreage to herbicide resistant seed varieties, an increase of one percent from 2013. Peanuts: Growers planted 1.32 million acres in 2014 and intend to harvest 1.28 million acres, both up 23 percent from the previous year. The increase in planted area is mainly due to lower corn and soybean prices. Last year growers decreased peanut acres in many States due to larger supplies and strong grain prices. In Georgia, the largest peanut-producing State, planted area is up 37 percent from 2013. Sunflower: Area planted to sunflower in 2014 totals 1.71 million acres, up 8 percent from 2013. Harvested area is expected to increase 11 percent from last year to 1.63 million acres. Planted area of oil type varieties, at 1.34 million acres, is up 5 percent from 2013, but is the third lowest since 1976. Planted area of oil varieties in Kansas is the lowest since records began in 1988 and the third lowest since 1976 in North Dakota. Planted acreage of non-oil varieties, estimated at 368,000 acres, is up 24 percent from last year. Planting conditions were generally much improved compared with last year when cool spring temperatures and wet conditions hampered planting. As of June 1, twenty-six percent of the intended crop was planted in the four major States, 12 percentage points ahead of last year but 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. At that time, planting progress in Kansas and South Dakota was within one percentage point of normal, whereas progress in Colorado and North Dakota was at least 10 percentage points behind normal. As of June 22, producers had planted 83 percent of the crop in the four major States, 8 percentage points ahead of last year but slightly behind the 5-year average. Canola: Producers planted 1.75 million acres in 2014, up 30 percent from 2013. Estimated planted area in the Nation is the second largest on record. Planted area in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is estimated at 1.27 million acres, up 38 percent from last year. The harvested area for the Nation is forecast at 1.67 million acres, up 32 percent from last year. North Dakota acreage is up significantly from last year when wet conditions and cool temperatures delayed planting. As of June 1, seventy-seven percent of the intended crop in North Dakota had been planted, 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average of 72 percent. Planting progress reached 98 percent complete by June 15, compared with the 5-year average of 87 percent complete for that day. At that time, 84 percent had emerged, 33 percentage points ahead of last year and 9 points ahead of the 5-year average. Flaxseed: Area planted to flaxseed in 2014 is estimated at 332,000 acres, up 151,000 acres or 83 percent more than was planted in 2013. Acreage in North Dakota, the largest flaxseed-producing State, is up 100 percent, or 150,000 acres from 2013. Growers in that State were unable to plant all of their intended acreage last year due to unfavorable spring planting conditions. Safflower: Planted area of safflower increased 5 percent from 2013, to 183,500 acres in 2014. This is the largest planted area for the Nation since 2008. Area for harvest is forecast at 176,200 acres, up 4 percent from last year. Compared with last year, growers in the two largest States of California and Montana are showing increases in planted area of 5,000 and 10,000 acres, respectively. Other oilseeds: Planted area of mustard seed is estimated at 36,000 acres, down 20 percent from 2013, and the second-lowest planted area since 1996. Mustard seed area for harvest is forecast at 34,500 acres, down 21 percent from the previous year. Acreage planted to rapeseed is estimated at 2,600 acres, up 900 acres from 2013. Harvested rapeseed area is forecast at 2,500 acres. Cotton: Area planted to cotton in 2014 is estimated at 11.4 million acres, up 9 percent from last year. Upland area is estimated at 11.2 million acres, up 10 percent from 2013. American Pima is estimated at 178,000 acres, down 11 percent from 2013. The upland planted area in New Mexico for 2014 is estimated at a record low. Cotton planting in Arizona and California progressed quickly this spring while most other cotton growing regions remained behind normal. However, favorable weather throughout the month of May allowed producers to catch up in planting progress. By May 25, sixty-two percent of the crop had been planted, just 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By June 22, twenty-five percent of the crop was squaring, 4 percentage points ahead of last year but 2 percentage points behind the five-year average. As of June 22, fifty-three percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 43 percent rated in these two categories at the same time last year. Producers planted 96 percent of their acreage with seed varieties developed using biotechnology, up 6 percentage points from last year. Varieties containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were planted on 5 percent of the acreage, down 3 percentage points from last year. Herbicide resistant varieties were planted on 12 percent of the acreage, down 3 percentage points from 2013. Stacked gene varieties, those containing both insect and herbicide resistance, were planted on 79 percent of the acreage, up 12 percentage points from a year ago. Sugarbeets: Area planted to sugarbeets for the 2014 crop year is estimated at 1.16 million acres, down 3 percent from last year. Harvested area is forecast at 1.13 million acres, down 2 percent from 2013. Sugarcane: Harvested area of sugarcane for sugar and seed in the United States is forecast at 879,000 acres for the 2014 crop year, down 3 percent from a year ago. Tobacco: United States all tobacco area for harvest in 2014 is estimated at 358,880 acres, up 1 percent from 2013. Increases in flue-cured, dark-air cured, and cigar types more than offset decreases in fire-cured and light-air cured. Flue-cured tobacco, at 232,000 acres, is 1 percent above 2013. Flue-cured tobacco accounts for 65 percent of this year's total tobacco acreage. Total light air-cured tobacco type area, at 100,400, and burley tobacco, at 98,400 acres, are both 1 percent below last year. Fire-cured tobacco, at 16,030 acres, is down 1 percent from 2013. Dark air-cured tobacco, at 5,400 acres, is 4 percent above last year. All cigar type tobacco harvested area, at 5,050 acres, is 14 percent above last year. Cigar filler is up 11 percent from last year. Dry beans: United States dry edible bean planted area is estimated at 1.75 million acres for 2014, up 29 percent from 2013. Harvested area is forecast at 1.68 million acres, 28 percent above the previous year. Planted area is higher than last year in 11 of the 18 estimating States. In North Dakota, planting was 61 percent complete on June 1, well ahead of last year's pace of 20 percent. By mid-June, planting was 94 percent complete with 68 percent emerged above the 5-year average of 55 percent. In Michigan, by mid-June, the crop was 72 percent planted, ahead of the 5-year average, which was largely due to favorable spring weather conditions. Emergence has been slightly slower, but is still ahead of the 5-year average. Sweet potatoes: Planted area of sweet potatoes is estimated at 133,000 acres, up 15 percent from the previous year. Weather conditions in several states during April and May were cooler and wetter than normal which delayed planting and caused growers to replant in some areas. However, conditions in late May and June were more favorable, allowing growers to catch up planting progress. Summer potatoes: Growers planted an estimated 53,000 acres of summer potatoes in 2014, up 9 percent from 2013. Harvested area is forecast at 51,900 acres, 9 percent above 2013. Fall potatoes: Growers planted an estimated 955,400 acres of fall potatoes, up 1 percent from 2013. Harvested area is forecast at 943,200 acres, 1 percent above 2013. In Idaho and Washington, warm spring temperatures allowed planting to get off to a fast start. Planting progressed ahead of normal and was complete in both states by the end of May. Crops in both states are benefitting from the warm weather and are reported to be in good condition. Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: The estimates of planted and harvested acreages in this report are based primarily on surveys conducted the first 2 weeks of June. These surveys are based on a probability area frame survey with a sample of approximately 11,000 segments or parcels of land (average approximately 1 square mile) and a probability sample of over 71,000 farm operators. Enumerators conducting the area survey contact all farmers having operations within the sampled segments of land and account for their operations. From these data, estimates can be calculated. The list survey sample is contacted by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interviews to obtain information on these operations. Responses from the list sample plus data from the area operations that were not on the list to be sampled are combined to provide another estimate of planted and harvested acreages. Estimating procedures: National, Regional, State, and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. Each Regional Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). Survey data are compiled to the National level and are reviewed at this level independently of each State's review. Acreage estimates were based on survey data and the historical relationship of official estimates to survey data. Revision policy: Estimates of planted acres for spring planted crops are subject to revision in the August Crop Production report if conditions altered the planting intentions since the mid-year survey. Planted acres may also be revised for cotton, peanuts, and rice in the September Crop Production report each year; spring wheat, Durum wheat, barley, and oats only in the Small Grains Annual report at the end of September; and all other spring planted crops in the October Crop Production report. Revisions to planted acres will only be made when either special survey data, administrative data, such as Farm Service Agency program "sign up" data, or remote sensing data are available. Harvested acres may be revised any time a production forecast is made if there is strong evidence that the intended harvested area has changed since the last forecast. Reliability: The survey used to make acreage estimates is subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. Both types of errors for major crops generally are between 1.0 and 6.0 percent. Sampling errors represent the variability between estimates that would result if many different samples were surveyed at the same time. Sampling errors cannot be applied directly to the acreage published in this report to determine confidence intervals since the official estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source. The relative standard errors from the 2014 area frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 8.6 percent, corn 1.1 percent, Upland cotton 3.1 percent, sorghum 5.3 percent, soybeans 1.1 percent, winter wheat 1.9 percent, and other spring wheat 3.8 percent. The biotechnology estimates are also subject to sampling variability because all operations planting biotech varieties are not included in the sample. The variability for the 48 corn States, as measured by the relative standard error at the United States level, is approximately 0.3 percent for all biotech varieties, 4.6 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties, 2.8 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 0.6 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 0.6 percent for all biotech varieties, 9.2 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 5.6 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.2 percent for stacked gene varieties. Variability for the 31 soybean States is approximately 0.3 percent for herbicide resistant varieties. Variability for the 17 Upland cotton States is approximately 0.6 percent for all biotech varieties, 12.2 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 8.2 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.9 percent for stacked gene varieties. Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly. They may occur due to incorrect reporting and/or recording, data omissions or duplications, and errors in processing. To minimize non-sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are used in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. A method of evaluating the reliability of acreage estimates in this report is the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performances shown below for selected crops. This is computed by expressing the deviations between the planted acreage estimates and the final estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the 1994-2013 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current estimates relative to the final estimates assuming that factors affecting this year's estimate are not different from those influencing the past 20 years. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the corn planted estimate is 0.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current corn acreage will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 0.9 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 1.5 percent. Also, shown in the table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the difference between the mid-year planted acres estimate and the final estimates. Using corn again as an example, changes between the mid-year estimates and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 582,000 acres, ranging from 28,000 acres to 2.01 million acres. The mid-year planted acres have been below the final estimate 5 times and above 15 times. This does not imply that the mid-year planted estimate this year is likely to understate or overstate the final estimate.
