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 85 percent of all corn planted acres, 88 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 91 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

Spring Weather Summary Highlights: Consistent weather patterns driven in part by a fading La Niņa contributed to a variety of weather extremes. Wet conditions dominated the United States, except across the southern half of the Plains, the lower Southeast, and parts of the Southwest. Warmth covered the South and East, while chilly conditions gripped the northern Plains and much of the West. According to preliminary information provided by the National Climatic Data Center, the Nation experienced its 42nd-warmest, 12th-wettest spring on record. The United States spring average temperature of 52.3 degrees Fahrenheit was 0.4 degree above the 1901-2000 mean. It was the third-coolest spring in Washington and the fifth-coolest spring in Oregon, but among the ten warmest March-May periods in Delaware, Louisiana, New Jersey, New Mexico, and Texas. Meanwhile, March-May precipitation averaged 8.94 inches, 116 percent of the mean. It was the Nation's wettest spring since 1995. State rankings ranged from the driest spring in Texas to the wettest March-May period on record in Indiana, Kentucky, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Regional highlights included a late-season Western storm barrage during March; worsening drought in the Deep South; rampant spring flooding in the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi River basins; and multiple severe weather outbreaks in April and May. According to preliminary reports, the 24-hour period ending at 8 am EDT on April 28 became the Nation's deadliest "tornado day" on record (since reliable records began in 1950), with 314 fatalities. This surpassed the 310 deaths of April 3-4, 1974. The Joplin, Missouri, storm of May 22 - with 151 deaths - was the Nation's deadliest single tornado since April 9, 1947, when 181 people perished in Woodward, Oklahoma. March: Warm, dry weather across the southern Plains and the Southwest adversely affected already drought-stressed pastures and winter grains. From November 28 to April 3, the portion of the winter wheat crop rated in very poor to poor condition climbed from 26 to 61 percent in Texas; 8 to 53 percent in Oklahoma; and 25 to 34 percent in Kansas. In contrast, cold weather dominated the Nation's northern tier, particularly on the northern Plains. Monthly temperatures ranged from as many as 10 degrees Fahrenheit below normal on the northern Plains to more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal in parts of the Southwest. By month's end, the northern Plains' winter wheat had begun to break dormancy, with 70 percent of Montana's wheat crop rated in good to excellent condition on April 3. As the month progressed, flooding generally shifted from the Ohio Valley (and parts of the Northeast) into the upper Midwest. In the latter region, the mid- to late-month combination of precipitation and melting snow led to significant flooding. Meanwhile, March rainfall provided drought relief in parts of the Southeast. Heavy precipitation fell from the central Gulf Coast into the Appalachians, as well as the Northeast. Late-month rain eased drought in parts of Florida, with downpours affecting central portions of the peninsula. Elsewhere, a series of exceptional, late-season storms hammered northern and central California and the Northwest, while drought continued to expand and intensify across Arizona and New Mexico. The average water content of the high-elevation Sierra Nevada snow pack peaked at 48 inches (165 percent of normal) in late March, up from 22 inches in mid-February. April: Severe flooding developed from the Mid-South into the Ohio Valley. At the same time, a snowmelt-induced flood crest moved along the upper and middle Mississippi River. By month's end, flood waters converged on the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, eclipsing the region's high-water marks established in February 1937. Monthly rainfall totals of 1 to 2 feet were common in the flood-affected areas. A pair of historic tornado outbreaks accompanied the storminess, battering the South April 14-16 and 25-28. Meanwhile in the northern Corn Belt, cool, damp weather and soils hindered the start of the spring planting season. Due to the Midwestern fieldwork delays, only 13 percent of the United States acreage intended for corn was planted by May 1 - the Nation's slowest start since 1995 (11 percent planted). Cool, damp conditions also prevailed across the northern Plains and the Northwest, slowing winter wheat development and hampering spring planting operations. Cool weather was also noted as far south as California. In contrast, heat and drought continued to severely stress pastures, winter grains, and emerging summer crops on the southern Plains. By May 1, approximately three-quarters of the winter wheat crop was rated in very poor to poor condition in Oklahoma (77 percent) and Texas (74 percent), along with nearly half of the crop in Colorado (46 percent) and Kansas (45 percent). May: Unusually cool weather across the northern Plains and much of the West contrasted with above-normal temperatures in the South and East. Toward month's end, an intense, early-season heat wave built across the South, while favorable warmth overspread the Midwest. Extremely cool weather persisted, however, in California and neighboring areas. Incessantly wet conditions accompanied the cool weather across the northern Plains, slowing winter wheat development, hampering summer crop planting, and triggering widespread flooding in the middle and upper Missouri Valley. By June 5, more than one-quarter of the spring wheat had not yet been planted in North Dakota (69 percent planted) and Montana (73 percent). In stark contrast, drought worsened across the southern High Plains and the Deep South. In both regions, dry, increasingly hot weather severely stressed pastures and rain-fed summer crops. By June 5, at least half of the rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition in every southern-tier state from Arizona to Florida, except Alabama. On the southern Plains, drought resulted in early maturation of the winter wheat crop and promoted a rapid harvest pace. Ironically, flood-control efforts extended into drought-affected areas of the lower Mississippi Valley during May, as water from the earlier inundation of the Ohio Valley and the Mid-South worked its way downstream. Farther north, producers in the eastern Corn Belt and far upper Midwest continued to battle wetness in an effort to plant corn and soybeans. By June 5, corn planting was just 58 percent complete in Ohio, while Midwestern soybean planting had not surpassed the halfway mark in Michigan (50 percent planted), Indiana (49 percent), North Dakota (47 percent), and Ohio (26 percent). However, in Midwestern areas where corn and soybeans had emerged, crops benefited from frequent showers and late-May warmth. Elsewhere, cool, showery weather in California, the Great Basin, and the Northwest slowed fieldwork and crop development. Chilly conditions also delayed the Western melt season, leaving substantial high-elevation snow still on the ground by month's end - except in drought-affected areas of the Southwest. Crop Comments Corn: The 2011 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 92.3 million acres, up 5 percent from last year, and the second highest planted acreage in the United States since 1944, behind only the 93.5 million acres planted in 2007. Iowa continues to lead all States with 14.2 million acres, the second highest acreage on record for that State. Notable increases in acreage from last year are also reported in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Growers expect to harvest 84.9 million acres for grain, up 4 percent from last year. Planting got off to a slow start in 2011 due to unfavorable planting conditions across much of the major corn-producing region during April. Midwestern fieldwork remained at a virtual standstill during the middle part of April due to heavy rains and lowland flooding in the central and eastern Corn Belt. During the final week of April, excessive rainfall continued to fall from eastern Oklahoma into the Mid-South and the lower Ohio Valley delaying planting in many locations, but some progress was made in the western Corn Belt. By May 1, only 13 percent of the acreage had been planted, compared to 66 percent planted at the same time last year and 40 percent for the 5-year average pace. Planting delays continued during early May throughout much of the Midwest, but mostly dry weather favored fieldwork in the western Corn Belt states of Iowa and Nebraska. Iowa growers planted 61 percent of their corn acreage between May 1 and May 8, while Nebraska growers planted 42 percent. Planting conditions improved during May in most of the major corn-producing areas of the country, but delays continued in the eastern Corn Belt. By May 29, eighty-six percent of the intended corn acreage had been seeded, compared to 97 percent complete at the same time last year and 95 percent for the 5-year average. Planting was virtually complete by June 12. Producers planted 88 percent of their acreage with seed varieties developed using biotechnology, up 2 percent from 2010. Varieties containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were planted on 16 percent of the acreage, unchanged from last year. Herbicide resistant varieties developed using biotechnology were planted on 23 percent of the acreage, also unchanged from 2010. Stacked gene varieties, those containing both insect and herbicide resistance, were planted on 49 percent of the acreage, up 2 percent from a year ago. Sorghum: Area planted to sorghum in 2011 is estimated at 5.35 million acres, down 1 percent from 2010. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 4.59 million acres, down 5 percent from last year. In Texas, area planted is estimated at a record low 1.60 million acres. As of June 19, eighty-six percent of the crop had been planted, the same as last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Drought conditions across much of the southern United States, especially in Texas, have negatively impacted sorghum condition. As a result, the crop was rated 39 percent good to excellent on June 19, compared to 73 percent last year. Oats: Area seeded to oats for the 2011 crop year totaled 2.59 million acres, down 18 percent from the previous year and the lowest total on record. Area seeded to oats decreased or remained unchanged in all but two of the 31 estimating States, with record lows in 21 States. Growers expect to harvest 934,000 acres, down 26 percent from 2010 and a record low. Area harvested decreased or remained unchanged in all 31 estimating States, with record lows in 22 States. Oat seeding was well underway by April 3 with 28 percent of the Nation's crop sown. By June 12, ninety-six percent of the crop was seeded, 4 percentage points behind normal. However, planting in North Dakota and Ohio was well behind the 5-year average due to wet conditions. Oat emergence followed a similar pattern Nationally, and by June 12, North Dakota and Ohio were the furthest behind normal. As of June 26, fifty-seven percent percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 80 percent last year. Barley: Producers seeded 2.82 million acres of barley for the 2011 crop year, down 2 percent from the previous year and the lowest seeded area on record. Harvested area, forecasted at 2.48 million acres, is up fractionally from 2010, but if realized, will be the second lowest since 1883. Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Utah planted areas are at record lows while New York and Oregon are at record-tying lows. Seeding was underway in four of the five largest barley-producing States by mid-April, but cool, wet weather had limited the amount of fieldwork producers were able to complete, leaving overall progress well behind normal. With adverse weather conditions lingering across much of the Northern Tier throughout spring and early summer, producers in North Dakota were unable to seed a portion of their intended 2011 acreage. Seed germination was hampered by below average temperatures and soggy fields, leaving emergence well behind normal. On June 26, ninety-three percent of this year's barley crop was seeded and 88 percent was emerged, 7 and 12 percentage points behind the 5-year average, respectively. Winter Wheat: The 2011 winter wheat planted area is estimated at 41.1 million acres, up 10 percent from 2010 but down slightly from the previous estimate. Acreage is up from last year across most of the Soft Red winter area due to the early row crop harvest last fall and higher prices. With lack of moisture in much of the Great Plains, Hard Red winter acres are down in Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas, with Nebraska seeded area estimated at a record low. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 32.3 million acres, up 2 percent from last year. Harvested acres in Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas are down from last year due to drought conditions. As of June 12, harvest was 22 percent complete in the 18 major winter wheat-producing States, 9 points ahead of the 5-year average. Durum Wheat: Area seeded to Durum wheat is estimated at 1.70 million acres, down 34 percent from 2010. Acreage in North Dakota is down 800,000 acres from last year due to an excessively wet winter and spring followed by severe flooding. Area harvested for grain is expected to total 1.65 million acres, 35 percent below 2010. Continued wet weather during early June has slowed crop development. As of June 12, crop emergence was 62 percent in Montana and 25 percent in North Dakota, both significantly behind the 5-year average. Other Spring Wheat: The 2011 spring wheat planted area is estimated at 13.6 million acres, down 1 percent from 2010. Of the total, about 12.9 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. Spring wheat planting was hampered by flooding in the Dakotas. Grain area is expected to total 13.2 million acres, 1 percent below 2010. Crop development was delayed during June by wet, cool weather. As of June 12, the percent of crop emerged in the six major spring wheat-producing States was at 73 percent, 24 percent behind the 5-year average. Rye: The 2011 planted area for rye is estimated at 1.25 million acres, up 3 percent from 2010. Harvested area is expected to total 242,000 acres, down 9 percent from last year. As of June 12, rye in Oklahoma, the largest rye-producing State, was rated 4 percent good to excellent, compared with 64 percent good to excellent at the same time last year. Rice: Area planted to rice in 2011 is estimated at 2.68 million acres, down 26 percent from 2010 and the lowest planted acreage since 1987. Area for harvest is forecasted at 2.65 million acres, down 27 percent from last year. In all States except California, severe drought conditions, excessive flooding, and higher prices for competing commodities contributed to the decline in rice acres compared to last year. Area planted to rice in Arkansas, the largest rice-producing State, is at the lowest level since 1989. In California, water was in good supply, which allowed growers to plant 3 percent more rice than in 2010. As of June 19, ninety-seven percent of the rice crop had emerged, on par with the previous year and the 5-year average. Growers in Louisiana and Texas were dealing with salt water intrusion due to the dry conditions. By month's end, 61 percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 74 percent the same time last year. Proso Millet: Area planted to proso millet in 2011 is estimated at 320,000 acres, down 70,000 acres from 2010. Acreage reductions are estimated in all 3 estimating States of Colorado, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Unfavorable planting conditions and a switch to other crops are the main reasons for the acreage decline. Hay: Producers intend to harvest 57.6 million acres of all hay in 2011, down 4 percent from 2010. Expected harvested area of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures, at 19.3 million acres, is down 3 percent from 2010. Expected area for harvest for all other types of hay totals 38.3 million acres, down 4 percent from 2010. All hay harvested acres are expected to be below or equal to last year for most States in the Corn Belt, Great Plains, Pacific Northwest, and the Rocky Mountain region. Record low harvested acreage is expected in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Maine, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin while record high acreage is expected in Arkansas. Record high acres of alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures are expected to be harvested in Montana. In Arkansas, record low acreage is expected for alfalfa and alfalfa mixtures in contrast to the record-tying high harvested acreage of other hay that is expected in Arkansas. Soybeans: The 2011 soybean planted area is estimated at 75.2 million acres, down 3 percent from 2010. Planted area decreased from last year in 21 out of 31 States and is the lowest since 2007. Area for harvest is forecast at 74.3 million acres, also down 3 percent from 2010. Severe flooding during April contributed to delayed soybean planting this spring. Heavy snowmelt created flooding along the upper and middle Mississippi River, while heavy rains induced flooding across the Ohio Valley and Mid-South. During the last week of April, historic flooding occurred in southeastern Missouri and neighboring areas as the flood crest moved south. Meanwhile, cool temperatures and rain combined to slow planting progress across the northern Corn Belt. As of May 8, only 7 percent of intended soybean acreage was planted, 21 points behind last year's pace and 10 points behind the 5-year average. During the second week of May, a stretch of warm, dry weather allowed progress to advance 15 points nationally. Progress was especially significant across the central and western Corn Belt as progress advanced 37 points in Iowa and 25 points in Nebraska. However, planting progress in 12 of the 18 published States still lagged behind normal, with progress in Ohio at only 3 percent, 41 points behind normal. Over the last two weeks of May, progress fell even further behind normal pace, especially in the eastern Corn Belt where wetness continued to hamper field operations. As of May 29, fifty-one percent of the intended soybean acreage was planted, 20 points behind normal and last year's pace. Ohio was only at 7 percent planted, nearly 70 percentage points less than the 5-year average for that date, and Indiana lagged 37 points behind the normal pace. Twenty-seven percent of the soybean crop had emerged by May 29, sixteen points behind last year's pace and 12 points behind normal. Emergence advanced to 64 percent by June 12, behind last year's pace by 14 points and behind the 5-year average by 12 points. Producers planted 94 percent of the 2011 soybean acreage to herbicide resistant seed varieties, up 1 percentage point from 2010. Peanuts: Area planted to peanuts in 2011 is estimated at 1.15 million acres, down 11 percent from 2010. Area for harvest is forecasted at 1.12 million acres, down 11 percent from last year. Severe drought conditions in the South and higher cotton prices were the primary factors leading to the decrease in peanut acres. In Georgia, the largest peanut-producing State, area planted to peanuts is the lowest since 1982 and planted acres in Texas are the lowest since 1926. Planted area continued to decrease in the Virginia-North Carolina region as more growers switched to more profitable crops such as corn, soybeans, and cotton. By June 19, ninety-six percent of the peanut crop had been planted, 2 percentage points behind last year. As of June 26, the crop was rated 29 percent good to excellent, compared with 71 percent last year. Sunflower: Area planted to sunflower in 2011 totals 1.86 million acres, down 5 percent from 2010. Harvested area is expected to decrease 6 percent from last year to 1.77 million acres. Planted area of oil type varieties, at 1.54 million acres, is up 5 percent from 2010, but is still the third lowest since 1990. Planted acreage of non-oil varieties, estimated at 316,000 acres, is down 35 percent from last year to the third lowest level since 1992. Planted area of non-oil varieties is the lowest since 1989 in Minnesota and 1970 in North Dakota. In North Dakota, the leading sunflower-producing State, excessively wet conditions during May led to planting progress lagging behind last year's pace and the 5-year average for the entire month. By June 12, planting progress in North Dakota reached 64 percent complete, 18 percentage points behind last year's pace and 26 points behind the 5-year average. As of June 12, planting progress lagged behind normal in Colorado, Kansas, and South Dakota, but was equal to last year's pace in Kansas and South Dakota. Canola: Producers planted 1.14 million acres in 2011, down 21 percent from 2010. Planted area in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, is down significantly from last year due to extremely wet conditions this spring. As of May 29, only 40 percent of the intended crop had been planted, compared with the 5-year average of 90 percent. The harvested area forecast for the Nation is 1.12 million acres, down 22 percent from last year. Flaxseed: Area planted to flaxseed in 2011 is estimated at 229,000 acres, down 192,000 acres or 46 percent less than was planted in 2010. This represents the lowest acreage in the United States since 1997 when 151,000 acres were planted. Acreage in North Dakota, the largest flaxseed producing State, is down 49 percent from 2010 mainly due to unfavorable spring planting conditions. Area for harvest is forecast at 224,000 acres, down 194,000 acres from 2010. Safflower: Planted area of safflower decreased 21 percent from 2010, to 137,500 acres in 2011. This is the lowest planted area for the Nation since records began in 1991. Area for harvest is forecast at 131,500 acres, down 22 percent from last year. Compared with last year, growers in Montana, North Dakota, and Utah planted less acreage, while California is the only State reporting an increase. Other Oilseeds: Planted area of mustard seed is estimated at 26,000 acres, down 24,500 acres from 2010, and the lowest since 1996. Mustard seed area for harvest is forecast at 24,800 acres, down 23,300 acres from the previous year. Acreage of rapeseed planted is estimated at 2,000 acres, down 300 acres from 2010. Harvested rapeseed area is forecast at 1,900 acres. Cotton: Area planted to cotton in 2011 is estimated at 13.7 million acres, up 25 percent from last year and the highest level since 2006. Upland acreage is estimated at 13.4 million acres, up 25 percent from 2010. American Pima acreage is estimated at 289,000 acres, up 42 percent from 2010. In Texas, Upland planted acreage is estimated at 7.10 million acres, the highest level since 1981. Strong cotton prices are driving acreage increases throughout the cotton belt. Cotton planting got off to a slow start this year due in large part to dry conditions across much of the cotton belt. However, planting gained speed in May, and by month's end, 73 percent of the cotton acreage had been planted. This was only 4 percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By June 26, the crop was rated 41 percent very poor to poor, the highest percentage in these categories since estimates began in the mid-1980s. The poor condition of the crop is mainly due to extreme drought throughout much of the southern and southeastern United States. Producers planted 90 percent of their acreage with seed varieties developed using biotechnology, down 3 percent from last year. Varieties containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were planted on 17 percent of the acreage, up 2 percent from last year. Herbicide resistant varieties were planted on 15 percent of the acreage, down 5 percent from 2010. Stacked gene varieties, those containing both insect and herbicide resistance, were planted on 58 percent of the acreage, unchanged from a year ago. Sugarbeets: Area planted to sugarbeets for the 2011 crop year is expected to total 1.24 million acres, up 6 percent from the 1.17 million acres planted in 2010. Harvested area is forecast at 1.20 million acres, up 4 percent from 2010. Planted area increased from the previous year in nine of the ten estimating States. Sugarbeet planting progress was behind normal in much of the growing area due to wet conditions. However, the outlook for water availability in many of the sugarbeet growing States is improving as a result. Sugarcane: Harvested area of sugarcane in the United States for sugar and seed is forecast at 889,000 acres for the 2011 crop year, up 1 percent from a year ago. The sugarcane growing areas in Louisiana and Florida are experiencing extreme drought conditions. Tobacco: United States all tobacco area for harvest in 2011 is estimated at 336,050 acres, slightly below 2010. Expected decreases in light-air cured, dark-air cured, and cigar types offset increases in fire-cured and flue-cured types. Flue-cured tobacco, at 216,000 acres, is 2 percent above 2010. Flue-cured tobacco accounts for 64 percent of this year's expected total tobacco acreage. Total light air-cured tobacco type area, at 93,000 acres, is down 7 percent from a year ago. Burley tobacco, at 90,000 acres, is 8 percent below last year. If realized, this will be the lowest burley acreage on record, well below the 97,500 record low acres established in 2008. Fire-cured tobacco, at 16,850 acres, is up 8 percent from 2010. Dark air-cured tobacco, at 5,400 acres, is down 2 percent from last year. Fewer acres are being contracted for the dark tobacco types. All cigar type tobacco harvested area, at 4,800 acres, is 15 percent below last year. Cigar wrapper is up 13 percent from last year, while cigar filler and cigar binder are down 19 percent and 20 percent, respectively. Dry Beans: United States dry edible bean planted area is forecast at 1.26 million acres for 2011, down 34 percent from 2010. Harvested area is forecast at 1.21 million acres, 34 percent below the previous year. Planted area is expected to be lower in 16 of the 18 estimating States. In North Dakota, planting of the crop began in mid-May, about two weeks behind the 5-year average. As of June 12, planting was 75 percent complete compared with 94 percent last year. Dry bean planting was underway the first week of June in Michigan and 59 percent was planted by June 12. This is ahead of the 5-year average of 46 percent. In Minnesota, moisture levels in the northwest region of the State, where most of the dry beans are grown, have been reported to be as much as three inches above normal. Sweet potatoes: Planted area of sweet potatoes is expected to total 132,600 acres for the 2011 season, up 11 percent from last year. Harvested area is forecast at 128,200 acres, 10 percent higher than 2010. In California, planting was delayed by cool weather and late season rain. Warm temperatures and timely showers have contributed to favorable growing conditions in Florida. Dry conditions in Louisiana have not impacted the crop growth to date. Weather conditions in Arkansas delayed planting in some areas. Summer Potatoes: Growers in the summer producing States planted an estimated 40,900 acres of potatoes this year, up 5 percent from last year. Harvested area is forecast at 39,300 acres, 5 percent higher than 2010. In Virginia, timely spring rains followed by hot weather in early June resulted in good growth. Wet weather delayed planting in New Jersey. In Kansas, heat stress and wind damage were affecting some areas. Water supplies were reported as adequate in Colorado; however, wells along the South Platte River remained capped due to water rights issues. 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 70,000 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 State 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: Planted acreage estimates are subject to change August 1 if actual plantings are significantly different from those reported in early June. Also, planted acreage estimates can be revised at the end of the season and again the following year, if new information is available that would justify a change. Harvested acres can be adjusted anytime a change is made in planted acres. In addition, harvested acres are subject to change anytime a production forecast is made. 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 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 2011 area frame survey for United States planted acres were: barley 9.0 percent, corn 1.1 percent, upland cotton 2.9 percent, sorghum 6.7 percent, soybeans 1.2 percent, winter wheat 2.1 percent, and other spring wheat 4.0 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, 2.3 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties, 1.7 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 1.0 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, 4.6 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 3.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 2.0 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, 6.2 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 5.4 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 2.0 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 1991-2010 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 0.8 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 0.8 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 1.3 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 481,000 acres, ranging from 24,000 acres to 1.35 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.
