September Weather Summary
The tropical Atlantic Basin remained active in September, with
Hurricane Sally making landfall on the 16th in Alabama and
Tropical Storm Beta arriving on the 21st along the middle Texas coast. Sally,
a category 2 hurricane at landfall with sustained winds near 105 mph,
battered crops and caused extensive flooding in southern Alabama and western
Florida, with heavy rain extending as far north as southern Virginia. Beta's
main impact was heavy rain, which spread northeastward from coastal Texas
across the Mississippi Delta and into the Southeast. By September 27, topsoil
moisture was rated at least one-fifth surplus in eight states-three in the
Mississippi Delta and five along the Atlantic Coast from Florida to Maryland-
led by Louisiana at 37 percent.
Farther north, mid-month rainfall generally arrived too late to benefit
drought-stressed summer crops in Iowa and environs. Surrounding that wet
area, short-term dryness developed or intensified in the Ohio Valley and
upper Midwest. By September 27, Indiana led the Midwest with topsoil moisture
rated 75 percent very short to short. Meanwhile, drought continued to worsen
in New England, with topsoil moisture rated 100 percent very short to very
short by September 27 in Maine and New Hampshire. As the month ended,
however, beneficial rain overspread the Northeast.
Aside from a heavy-rainfall event in portions of Oklahoma and Texas, mostly
dry weather covered the Plains. The rain (and snow) that fell was associated
with an early-season cold snap, which resulted in freezes and potential harm
to immature crops across portions of the northern Plains and far upper
Midwest, particularly in eastern North Dakota, on September 8-9. By late
September, topsoil moisture rated very short to short across the Plains
ranged from 39 percent in Oklahoma to 77 percent in Colorado. On
September 27, Texas led the Nation with 35 percent of its cotton rated very
poor to poor, while Colorado led-among major production states-with
35 percent of its corn rated very poor to poor.
Elsewhere, Western dryness and periods of extreme heat led to two additional
flare-ups in wildfire activity. From January to October, more than
7.5 million acres of vegetation burned Nationally, with much of that acreage
occurring in the Pacific Coast States since mid-August. California's
year-to-date total surpassed more than 4 million acres, including five of the
six largest wildfires in modern state history. On September 27, more than
one-half of rangeland and pastures were rated very poor to poor in all
Western States except Idaho, Nevada, and Utah, led by Oregon at 82 percent.
Late in the month, more than three-quarters (76 percent) of the 11-state
Western region was experiencing drought, according to the U.S. Drought
Monitor, while air-quality degradations plagued a broad area.
September Agricultural Summary
September was warmer than average for most of the western third of
the Nation. Parts of California, the Pacific Northwest, the northern Rockies,
and the Southwest recorded temperatures 4°F or more above normal for the
month. In contrast, large parts of the Great Lakes, the Great Plains, the

half of the nation remained drier than normal for the month, as did most of
the Northeast. However, above normal precipitation fell on large parts of the
Corn Belt, the Delta, the Mid-Atlantic, Oklahoma, the Southeast, and Texas.
Due to the effects of Hurricane Sally, parts of the Florida Panhandle
recorded 15 inches or more of rain for the month.

down 15 percent from last season's final utilization. The California
forecast, at 22.0 million boxes (880,000 tons), is down 14 percent from the
2019-2020 season. The Arizona forecast, at 1.30 million boxes (52,000 tons),
is down 28 percent from last year.
Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is
forecast at 972,000 tons, up 5 percent from last season's final utilization.
The California forecast, at 23.0 million boxes (920,000 tons), is
up 5 percent from the previous year. The Florida tangerine and mandarin
forecast, at 1.10 million boxes (52,000 tons), is up 8 percent from last
year.
Pecans: Production is forecast at 292 million pounds (utilized, in-shell
basis), up 14 percent from 2019. Improved varieties are expected to produce
277 million pounds or 95 percent of the total. The native and seedling
varieties are expected to produce 15.1 million pounds, making up the
remaining 5 percent of production.
Statistical Methodology
Field crop survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were
conducted between September 24 and October 5 to gather information on
expected yield as of October 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton,
and soybeans were conducted in the major producing States that usually
account for about 75 percent of the United States production. Randomly
selected plots were revisited to make current counts. The counts made within
each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all
cases, plant counts are 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 interviewers. Approximately 10,200 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.
Orange survey procedures: In Florida, during August and September, the number
of bearing trees and the number of fruit per tree is determined. In August
and subsequent months, fruit size measurement and fruit droppage surveys are
conducted, which combined with the previous components are used to develop
the current forecast of production. California and Texas conduct grower
surveys on a quarterly basis in October, January, April, and July. California
also conducts objective measurement surveys in September for Navel oranges
and in March for Valencia oranges.
Field crop 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 to 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 October 1 forecasts.
Orange estimating procedures: State level objective measurement estimates for
Florida oranges were reviewed for errors, reasonableness, and consistency
with historical estimates. Reports from growers in California and Texas were
also used for setting estimates. These three States submit their analyses of
the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB
uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published
October 1 forecast.
Revision policy: The October 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 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. End-of-season orange estimates will be published in
August's Citrus Fruits Summary. The orange production estimates are based on
all data available at the end of the marketing season, including information
from marketing orders, shipments, and processor records. Allowances are made
for recorded local utilization and home use.
Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the October 1
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure
based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the October 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 October 1 corn for grain production
forecast is 1.8 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 1.8 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level)
that the difference will not exceed 3.1 percent.
Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of
the differences between the October 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using
corn again as an example, changes between the October 1 forecast and the
final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 177 million bushels,
ranging from 3 million bushels to 437 million bushels. The October 1 forecast
has been below the final estimate 9 times and above 10 times. This does not
imply that the October 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or
overstate final production.
