July Weather Summary During July, the country was evenly split between hot weather across the North and West and cool conditions in the South and East. In fact, it was the hottest July (and month) on record in numerous Western communities, including Lewiston, Idaho; Medford, Oregon; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Spokane, Washington. Northwestern heat hastened crop maturation and promoted small grain harvest efforts, but left rangeland, pastures, and immature summer crop in terrible condition. By August 1, Washington led the Nation in rangeland and pastures rated very poor to poor (96 percent; tied with Montana), along with spring wheat (90 percent). Northern California and the Northwest also contended with dozens of wildfires, which swept across hundreds of thousands of acres of varying landscapes and broadly degraded air quality. Meanwhile, a robust Southwestern monsoon circulation provided some drought relief in the Four Corners States and neighboring regions, but barely dented longer-term impacts such as subsoil moisture depletion and low reservoir levels. However, the benefits of Southwestern rainfall included reducing the wildfire threat and improving vegetation health, albeit gradually. In some cases, however, high Southwestern precipitation rates led to flash flooding and landslides, especially in areas where hillsides had been scarred or denuded by recent fires. Farther east, punishing drought persisted across the northern Plains and far upper Midwest, leading to significant stress on rangeland, pastures, winter wheat, and spring-sown crops. By August 1, rangeland and pastures were rated more than three-quarters very poor to poor, ranging from 77 to 96 percent, in Minnesota, Montana, and the Dakotas. On the same date, North Dakota led the Nation-among major production states-in very poor to poor ratings for oats (55 percent; tied with South Dakota), soybeans (45 percent), corn (44 percent), while Montana led for barley (79 percent). Summer crops in the heart of the Midwest fared better, benefiting from abundant rainfall (through mid-July) and mostly moderate temperatures. Although large sections of the Midwest experienced a late-July drying trend, crops in much of the central and eastern Corn Belt were able to draw on abundant soil moisture reserves. Southern crops also generally fared well amid widespread showers and near- to below-normal temperatures, with good to excellent ratings noted on August 1 for 73 percent of the U.S. peanuts, 72 percent of the rice, and 60 percent of the cotton. Elsewhere, cool, rainy weather eased or eradicated Northeastern drought, while hotter, drier weather developed late in the month across the central and southern Plains. Most of the central and southern Plains' crops were able to withstand the short-term dryness by tapping into soil moisture reserves, although pockets of triple-digit temperatures (100°F or greater) arrived late in the month. During the 5-week period ending August 3, drought coverage in the contiguous United States decreased slightly (from 47 to 46 percent), mostly on the strength of improving conditions from the Great Lakes region into the Northeast. However, any improvement was generally offset by worsening drought conditions in California, the Northwest, and portions of the northern Plains and far upper Midwest. In fact, drought coverage in the 11-state Western region increased during July from 88 to 90 percent. However, due to monsoon- related Southwestern rainfall, Western coverage of exceptional drought (D4) fell slightly between June 29 and August 3, from 24 to 22 percent. July Agricultural Summary July was warmer than average for most of the northern and western sections of the Nation. Parts of California, Nevada, the Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, and Rockies recorded temperatures 6°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, most of the East and South were cooler than normal. Large parts of the Southern Great Plains and New England recorded temperatures 2°F or more below normal. Most of the Central and Northern Plains, Pacific Northwest, and Northern Rockies remained drier than normal for the month of July. In contrast, most of the eastern and southern sections of the Nation received higher than normal amounts of rainfall. More than twice the normal amount of precipitation was recorded in large parts of the Northeast, Southwest, and Texas. By July 4, ten percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, 1 percentage point ahead of last year but 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By July 18, fifty-six percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, 1 percentage point ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 18, eight percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, equal to last year but 1 percentage point ahead of the 5-year average. By August 1, ninety-one percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, equal to last year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 1, thirty-eight percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 1 percentage point ahead of last year and 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. As of August 1, sixty-two percent of the Nation's corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, 10 percentage points below the same time last year. In Iowa, 62 percent of the corn crop was rated in good to excellent condition. By July 4, twenty-nine percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming stage, equal to last year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 3 percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had begun setting pods, 1 percentage point ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. By July 18, sixty-three percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming stage, 1 percentage point ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 23 percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had begun setting pods, equal to last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 1, eighty-six percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming stage, 2 percentage points ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Nationally, 58 percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had begun setting pods, 1 percentage point ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. On August 1, sixty percent of the Nation's soybean acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, 13 percentage points below the same time last year. Forty-five percent of the 2021 winter wheat acreage had been harvested by July 4, nine percentage points behind last year and 8 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As of July 4, forty-seven percent of the 2021 winter wheat crop was reported in good to excellent condition, 4 percentage points below the same time last year. Seventy-three percent of the 2021 winter wheat acreage had been harvested by July 18, equal to last year but 1 percentage point behind the 5-year average.

Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between July 25 and August 6 to gather information on expected yields as of August 1. The objective yield survey for winter wheat was conducted in 10 States that account for 70 percent of the 2020 winter wheat production. The objective yield survey for cotton was only conducted in the southern portions of Texas. Farm operators selected for the objective yield survey were interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected fields for the objective yield survey. The counts made within each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, the number of plants is recorded along with other measurements that provide information to forecast the number heads or bolls and their weight. The counts are used with similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. The plots are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit are harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss. Starting in 2019, NASS eliminated the August objective yield survey for cotton (except Texas), corn, and soybeans. The first objective yield survey conducted for these crops will begin in September. The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail and internet. Approximately 18,600 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields. 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 months and previous years. Each Regional Field Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published August 1 forecasts. Revision policy: The August 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks, production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant changes. 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: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the August 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the August 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's forecast are not different from those influencing recent years. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the August 1 corn for grain production forecast is 3.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 3.9 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 6.7 percent. Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 349 million bushels, ranging from 5 million bushels to 1.10 billion bushels.
