September Weather Summary Short-term drought across portions of the south-central United States during September favored summer crop maturation and harvesting-but resulted in declining rangeland and pasture conditions and raised concerns regarding newly planted winter wheat. Despite the late-month arrival of scattered showers across the central and southern Plains, September rainfall totaled one-half inch or less in numerous locations. By October 3, only 33 percent of the rangeland and pastures in Oklahoma were rated in good to excellent condition, down from 58 percent in late August. Meanwhile, drought continued to dominate the landscape across the northern Plains and much of the West. On October 3, more than one-half of the rangeland and pastures were rated very poor to poor in all eleven states along and northwest of a line from California to Minnesota, led by Montana and Washington (91 percent very poor to poor apiece). Monthly rainfall totaled less than one-tenth of an inch in several Montana locations, including Havre and Glasgow. Some Northwestern producers opted to plant winter wheat into dusty soils; others opted to wait for rain. In Oregon, only 19 percent of the intended winter wheat acreage had been planted by October 3, compared to the 5-year average of 38 percent. On the same date, topsoil moisture was rated at least 40 percent very short to short in all states from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains, except Arizona. The Atlantic tropical basin remained active in September, as the season-to- date number of named storms climbed to twenty with the formation of Tropical Storm Victor (over the open Atlantic Ocean) on September 29. The month began with the remnants of Hurricane Ida delivering devastatingly heavy rainfall and spawning more than a dozen tornadoes in the middle Atlantic States. A week later, on September 8, minimal Tropical Storm Mindy moved ashore at St. Vincent Island, Florida, produced a few heavy showers and gusty winds, but had little impact. Category 1 Hurricane Nicholas made landfall on September 14 on the Matagorda Peninsula in Texas, with sustained winds near 75 mph. Nicholas produced some heavy rain but quickly weakened and drifted northeastward, decaying over Louisiana on September 17. However, for several days after dissipation, residual tropical moisture became entangled with a cold front, leading to additional heavy rain across the eastern one-third of the country. In the West, an area of persistent dryness-stretching from much of California to the northern Rockies-was sandwiched between beneficial showers in the Pacific Northwest and parts of the Southwest. Northwestern showers, which reached California's northern tier, aided wildfire containment efforts. Still, mop-up operations continued for four of northern California's largest wildfires on record: the 963,309-acre Dixie Fire (second largest behind last year's 1.03 million-acre August Complex); the 223,168-acre Monument Fire; the 221,775-acre Caldor Fire; and the 198,882-acre River Complex. On September 9-10, lightning in the southern Sierra Nevada sparked several new fires, including the 97,514-acre Windy Fire and the 85,952-acre KNP Complex, sharply reducing air quality in California's San Joaquin Valley and environs. Elsewhere, Midwestern crops matured quickly amid ongoing warmth, despite occasionally heavy showers in the eastern and northwestern Corn Belt. By October 3, most (88 percent) of the Nation's corn was fully mature, while 86 percent of the soybeans were dropping leaves. On the same date, harvest had progressed to 29 percent complete for corn and 34 percent for soybeans. In every Midwestern State, corn and soybean harvests were at or ahead of the 5-year average pace for October 3. During the 5-week period ending October 5, drought coverage in the contiguous United States remained nearly unchanged at 46 to 48 percent, according to the Drought Monitor. However, September improvement across parts of the North was offset by developing drought in the south-central United States. National drought coverage has been significantly elevated for more than a year-and was last below 40 percent in late-September 2020. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the only other periods when drought coverage continuously exceeded 40 percent for more than a year were March 12, 2002 - June 3, 2003, and June 19, 2012 - October 1, 2013. September Agricultural Summary September was warmer than normal for most of the Nation. Large parts of the Great Plains recorded temperatures 4°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, most of the Gulf Coast, Lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast were moderately cooler than normal, as were parts of the Northwest. Much of the eastern third of the Nation received higher than normal amounts of precipitation for the month. Due to Hurricanes Ida and Nicholas, parts of the Gulf Coast, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast recorded 10 inches or more of rain for the month. While the Nation's midsection was mostly drier than normal, locations in Kansas, Nebraska, and South Dakota recorded twice the normal amount of precipitation. In the West, locations in Arizona and large parts of the Pacific Northwest also recorded twice the normal amounts of precipitation for the month.

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 8,900 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 September 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 1.9 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 1.9 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 3.3 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 194 million bushels, ranging from 3 million bushels to 610 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.
