August Weather Summary Drought-easing August rainfall in the southwestern and south-central United States improved topsoil moisture and revived rangeland and pastures. However, much of the rain arrived too late to significantly benefit drought-ravaged summer crops, including cotton and sorghum. By August 28, more than one-third of the Nation's cotton (36 percent) and sorghum (44 percent) crops were rated in very poor to poor condition. On the same date, rangeland and pastures were rated 46 percent very poor to poor, nationally, down from 52 percent on August 14. In contrast, drier-than-normal August weather-accompanied by above-normal temperatures-dominated the central Plains and western Corn Belt. Although less than one-fifth of the Nation's corn (19 percent) and soybeans (13 percent) were rated in very poor to poor condition on August 28, values were considerably higher in hotter, drier areas west of the Mississippi River. In Nebraska, for example, 34 percent of the corn and 28 percent of the soybeans were rated very poor to poor in late August. Drier-than-normal conditions also dominated the Northwest, contributing to dozens of late-summer wildfires but favoring small grain maturation and harvesting. By early September, more than five dozen Northwestern wildfires were in various stages of containment, with some of the larger fires resulting in smoky conditions and air-quality degradation. North of Salmon, Idaho, the Moose Fire-burning since July 17-had charred more than 107,000 acres of vegetation by early September. Farther south, another month of widespread, monsoon-related showers led to drought relief, most notably in the Four Corners States. However, locally heavy showers also led to flash flooding, especially in recently burn-scarred areas. Las Vegas, New Mexico, near the site of the fully extinguished, 341,735-acre Calf Canyon/Hermits Peak Fire-the largest in modern state history-has had its primary water source threatened by toxic, ash- and debris-laden runoff into the Gallinas River. Even with Southwestern summer rainfall, chronic, underlying drought has resulted in continuing low levels in major reservoirs, including those in the Colorado Basin. Near Las Vegas, Nevada, the surface elevation of Lake Mead rose slightly during August but remained more than 170 feet below where the lake level stood as recently as early 2000, when the Southwestern mega-drought began. Meanwhile, abundant August rainfall across the Deep South contributed to fieldwork delays and concerns about the quality of unharvested summer crops. Some of the heaviest rain fell across southern Texas, where a disturbance moved inland in mid-August before acquiring tropical characteristics, and late in the month from northeastern Texas to the central Gulf Coast States. Flash flooding struck the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area on August 21-22, followed a few days later by a week-long loss of potable water in Jackson, Mississippi, when floodwaters from the Pearl River overwhelmed an already compromised water-treatment facility. Monthly temperatures did not stray far from normal in the Deep South and from the Mississippi Valley eastward, except in the Northeast. Conversely, August readings averaged as much as 5°F above normal in southern New England and environs, accompanied by significant, short-term drought. Elsewhere, August temperatures broadly averaged at least 5°F above normal from the Pacific Northwest to the northern High Plains, as well as parts of California. During the 4-week period ending August 30, drought coverage in the Lower 48 States decreased nearly 6 percentage points, from 51.4 to 45.5 percent, according to the Drought Monitor. August rain across the previously drought- stricken southern Plains helped to reduce national coverage of extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) from 19.0 to 13.1 percent. However, those significant August improvements were partially offset by worsening drought across the northern and central Plains, western Corn Belt, and parts of the Northeast. Finally, the tropical Atlantic Basin was extremely quiet in August, with no named cyclones. It was the first time since 1997-and before that, 1961- without a named Atlantic Basin storm during August. However, the tropics came to life soon after August ended, with Danielle becoming the Atlantic Basin's first hurricane of the season on September 2. August Agricultural Summary August was warmer than average for much of the Nation. Large areas of California, the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, Northern Plains, and Northern Rockies recorded temperatures 4°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, large parts of the Mississippi Valley, Southeast, and Southwest were cooler than normal. While much of the Pacific Coast, Pacific Northwest, and Central and Northern Plains remained drier than normal, twice the average amounts of precipitation or more were recorded for most of the Great Basin, and in large areas of California, the Lower Mississippi Valley, Rockies, Southwest, and Texas. By August 7, ninety percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, 4 percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By August 7, forty-five percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 8 percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By August 7, six percent of this year's corn acreage was denting, 1 percentage point behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By August 21, ninety-seven percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, 3 percentage points behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By August 21, seventy-five percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 8 percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By August 21, thirty-one percent of this year's corn acreage was denting, 7 percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Four percent of the Nation's corn acreage was mature by August 21, equal to both last year and the 5-year average. By September 4, ninety-two percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 2 percentage points behind last year and 1 percentage point behind the 5-year average. By September 4, sixty-three percent of this year's corn acreage was denting, 9 percentage points behind last year and 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Denting progress advanced 10 percentage points or more in 14 of the 18 estimating States during the week. Fifteen percent of the Nation's corn acreage was mature by September 4, four percentage points behind last year and 3 percentage points behind 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/202208walom.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 7,400 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 289 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.
