August Weather Summary Much of the country experienced relatively wet weather during August, with significantly above-normal rainfall noted in much of the eastern United States, as well as portions of the northern Plains and upper Midwest. However, rain across the northern Plains arrived too late for drought- stricken small grains, which were largely harvested when precipitation began to boost topsoil moisture and slowly revive rangeland and pastures. By August 29, eighty-eight percent of the Nation's spring wheat and 85 percent of the barley had been harvested, compared to respective 5-year averages of 71 and 78 percent. Tropical systems greatly contributed to Eastern wetness, with Hurricane Ida and Tropical Storms Fred and Henri making landfall during August. Following more than a month without an Atlantic tropical cyclone, Fred was named while passing south of Puerto Rico on August 10. Six days later, after surviving treks across Hispaniola and Cuba, Tropical Storm Fred made landfall near Cape San Blas, Florida, with sustained winds near 65 mph. Later, Henri took a circuitous route into the Northeast after developing near Bermuda on August 16. After briefly becoming a hurricane, Henri weakened before making landfall on August 22, with sustained winds of 60 mph, near Westerly, Rhode Island. Meanwhile, unrelated to tropical activity, catastrophic flooding unfolded on August 21 in parts of middle Tennessee. On August 29, Hurricane Ida became the strongest storm on record-tied with Laura in 2020 and the Last Island hurricane of 1856-to strike the Louisiana coastline. In fact, with sustained winds estimated at 150 mph, category 4 Ida's landfall at Port Fourchon, Louisiana, represented the sixth-strongest hurricane, based on sustained winds, to strike a Gulf or Atlantic Coast State, behind the Labor Day hurricane of 1935; Hurricane Camille (1969); Hurricane Andrew (1992); the Okeechobee hurricane of 1928; and Hurricane Michael (2018). Hurricane Ida's impacts, which included flooding rains, damaging winds, power outages, and a coastal storm surge, were still being assessed as the month ended. Ida moved through the eastern side of Louisiana's sugarcane production area, shortly before harvest was due to begin. In addition, Ida battered some row crops, including maturing rice and open-boll cotton, in the southern Mississippi Delta. Significant August rainfall bypassed a few areas, including the Far West and portions of the central and southern Plains. Western drought, combined with periods of hot, windy weather, led to further escalation of wildfire activity, particularly in northern California. By early September, three of California's active wildfires-the Dixie (820,000 acres), Caldor (200,000 acres), and Monument Fires (172,000 acres)-were among the twenty largest blazes in state history. Those fires and dozens of others broadly reduced Northwestern air quality for much of the month. Meanwhile on the central and southern Plains, late-season heat and a turn toward drier conditions reduced topsoil moisture and locally increased stress on immature summer crops. Elsewhere, late-summer showers associated with the Southwestern monsoon circulation continued to provide drought relief in the Four Corners States, while warm weather and ample rainfall helped to push Midwestern summer crops toward maturity. By August 29, more than half (59 percent) of the Nation's corn had dented, versus the 5-year average of 55 percent. On the same date, 9 percent of the corn was fully mature, while 9 percent of the soybeans were dropping leaves. August average temperatures were mostly close to normal values, although a ribbon of anomalous warmth stretched from the central Plains into the Northeast. During the 4-week period ending August 31, drought coverage in the contiguous United States remained nearly unchanged at 46 to 47 percent, according to the United States Drought Monitor. However, August improvement in the Southwest and upper Midwest was offset by worsening drought in the Northwest and pockets of developing drought on the central Plains. Despite drought being mostly restricted to the northwestern half of the country, overall coverage has been elevated for months, and was last below 40 percent in late-September 2020. August Agricultural Summary August was warmer than average for much of the Nation. Large areas of the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and the Plains recorded temperatures 2°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, large parts of the Rockies, Southwest, and Texas were cooler than normal. While most of California, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest remained drier than normal, twice the average amounts of precipitation or more were recorded in large areas of the Rockies. Parts of the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, South, and Southwest also recorded higher than normal amounts of precipitation for the month. 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. By August 15, seventy-three percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 1 percentage point behind last year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Advances of 10 percentage points or more were made in 16 of the 18 estimating States. By August 15, twenty-two percent of this year's corn acreage was denting, 1 percentage point ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. By August 29, ninety-one percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 2 percentage points behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 29, fifty-nine percent of this year's corn acreage was denting, 1 percentage point behind last year but 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin had advances of 20 percentage points or more from the previous week. Nine percent of the Nation's corn acreage was mature by August 29, two percentage points behind last year and 1 percentage point behind the 5-year average. On August 29, sixty percent of the Nation's corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, 2 percentage points below the same time last year. 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.

The complete report is available at: https://www.nass.usda.gov/Statistics_by_State/California/Publications/Special ty_and_Other_Releases/Walnut/Objective-Measurement/202108walnutom.pdf Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between August 25 and September 7 to gather information on expected yield as of September 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton, and soybeans were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for 75 percent of the United States production. 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 (corn, cotton and, soybeans). 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 of ears, bolls, or pods 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 visited starting in September and are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is 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 farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interviews. Approximately 8,000 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 September 1 forecasts. Revision policy: The September 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 September 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the September 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 September 1 corn for grain production forecast is 3.2 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 3.2 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 5.5 percent. Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the September 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the September 1 forecast and the final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 293 million bushels, ranging from 13 million bushels to 845 million bushels. The September 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 10 times and above 10 times. This does not imply that the September 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
