Highlights
June 2020 contained 30 days.
July 2020 contained 31 days.
Soybeans crushed for crude oil was 5.54 million tons (185 million bushels) in
July 2020, compared with
5.32 million tons (177 million bushels) in June 2020 and 5.38 million tons
(179 million bushels) in July 2019. Crude oil produced was 2.12 billion
pounds up 4 percent from June 2020 and up 2 percent from July 2019. Soybean
once refined oil production at 1.58 billion pounds during July 2020 increased
5 percent from June 2020 and increased 4 percent from July 2019.
Canola seeds crushed for crude oil was 204,619 tons in July 2020, compared
with 123,242 tons in
June 2020 and 145,547 tons in July 2019. Canola crude oil produced was 173
million pounds, up 64 percent from June 2020 and up 42 percent from July
2019. Canola once refined oil production, at 161 million pounds during July
2020, was up 39 percent from June 2020 and up 57 percent from July 2019.
Cottonseed once refined oil production, at 37.2 million pounds during July
2020, was down 7 percent from June 2020 but up 9 percent from July 2019.
Edible tallow production was 80.4 million pounds during July 2020, up
5 percent from June 2020 but down 1 percent from July 2019. Inedible tallow
production was 295 million pounds during July 2020,
down 9 percent from June 2020 and down 5 percent from July 2019. Technical
tallow production was 115 million pounds during July 2020, up 4 percent from
June 2020 and up 29 percent from July 2019. Choice white grease production,
at 98 million pounds during July 2020, decreased 14 percent from June 2020
but increased 5 percent from July 2019.

Statistical Methodology
Survey Procedures: Fats and Oils: Oilseed Crushings, Production, Consumption
and Stocks is part of the Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIR)
program. CAIR reports are administered under NASS's Census of Agriculture
program. Response to CAIR surveys are required by law (Title 7, U.S. Code).
Animal and vegetable fats and oils data are collected from all known
facilities that crush, refine or render. Crushing facilities include
processors that use either solvent extraction or continuous screw press.
The census universe was determined during operation profile interviews which
were completed for each potential facility to identify the presence of
rendering, oilseeds crushing, and crude oil refining in 2014.
In the Animal and Vegetable Fats and Oils survey questionnaire, facilities
are asked for previous calendar month data on oilseed crushing, crude oil
production, once refined oil production, rendering production, and end of
month stocks. Facilities are mailed questionnaires with the options of
completing the survey by mail or by Electronic Data Reporting (EDR). For
surveys not received in a reasonable amount of time, telephone follow-up is
conducted.
Estimating Procedures: Imputation is done for operations with non-response by
using historical data and current data relationships. Data for reporting
firms are added to estimates for non-reporting firms to obtain National
totals.
Revision Policy: Data are revised the following month based on late reports
or corrected data. Final figures are published in the annual summary of the
following year.
Reliability: Survey data are based on a census of all known facilities and
therefore, have no sampling variability. Monthly data can vary due to
different firms reporting month to month. Survey data are also subject to
non-sampling errors such as omissions and mistakes in reporting and in
processing the data. While these errors cannot be measured directly, they are
minimized by carefully reviewing all reported data for consistency and
reasonableness.
