36 Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Forage Production
Forage production is the sum of all dry hay production and haylage/greenchop production after converting the
haylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent basis (13 percent moisture) by multiplying the green weight (weight at
harvest) by 0.4943. The conversion factor (0.4943) is based on the assumption that one ton of dry hay is 0.87 ton of dry
matter, one ton of haylage is 0.45 ton dry matter and one ton of greenchop is 0.25 ton dry matter. The total
haylage/greenchop production is assumed to be comprised of 90 percent haylage and 10 percent greenchop. Therefore, the
conversion factor used to adjust haylage/greenchop production to a dry equivalent
basis = ((0.45*0.9)+(0.25*0.1))/0.87 = 0.4943. The factors assumed here may vary by State and can be adjusted.
Adjustments would result in a slightly different conversion factor.
All Forage Area Harvested, Yield, and Production – States and 18 State Total: 2013-2015 [All forage production is the sum of the following dry equivalents: alfalfa hay harvested as dry hay, all other hay harvested as dry hay, alfalfa haylage and greenchop, all other haylage and greenchop; after converting alfalfa and all other haylage and greenchop to a dry equivalent basis]

84 Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
2015 Annual Weather Summary
Highlights: A strengthening El Niño arrived early enough to influence late-spring weather patterns—especially in the
south-central United States—then altered the Atlantic and Pacific hurricane seasons. Specifically, El Niño suppressed
Atlantic tropical activity, but enhanced the eastern Pacific hurricane season. Often during the summer, remnant Pacific
tropical moisture became embedded in the Southwestern monsoon circulation, contributing to rare warm-season rainfall
events in southern California and a robust summer wet season in much of the Great Basin and the Southwest. However,
hot, dry weather plagued the Northwestern growing season, causing additional challenges for producers in the wake of
sub-par snow accumulations.
Record-setting, late-spring rainfall in the south-central United States put an end to a drought that had begun in late 2010.
During the late summer and early autumn, however, hot, dry weather brought a return of short-term drought across parts
of the South. The Southern drought intensity peaked in October, only to be washed away by another round of heavy rain.
Additional heavy rain fell across the South toward year’s end, leading to record-high annual precipitation totals in parts of
the western Gulf Coast region.
Farther north, timely spring and summer rainfall and moderate summer temperatures led to a nearly ideal growing season
across the upper Midwest. The lower Midwest also experienced a lack of heat stress in 2015, but had a much more
unfavorable rainfall distribution. Specifically, torrential late-spring and early-summer downpours in the lower Midwest
led to flooding and planting delays, following by a late-summer turn toward dryness that stressed poorly rooted corn and
soybeans.
Meanwhile, the odd interaction between Atlantic Hurricane Joaquin, which remained offshore, and a non-tropical storm
resulted in historic, early-October rainfall in South Carolina and environs. Additional heavy rain plagued parts of the
Southeast for the remainder of the year, hindering summer crop harvesting and winter wheat planting.
In contrast, California completed a fourth consecutive year of drought as the 2014-15 wet season drew to a close, leading
to another summer of water restrictions and fallowed acreage. In late 2015, the primary storm track often remained north
of California, bringing substantial drought relief to the Northwest. Nevertheless, meaningful precipitation fell as far south
as the Sierra Nevada, boosting snowpack to near-normal levels by year’s end.
Elsewhere, the Plains’ 2015 winter wheat crop experienced periods of unfavorable weather, including winter cold without
much snow cover, leading to declines in crop condition. Later, spring wetness hampered wheat harvest efforts across the
southern Plains. Summer growing conditions were mostly favorable across the Plains, but pockets of dryness caused some
autumn emergence and establishment issues from Kansas southward for the 2016 winter wheat crop.
During 2015, drought coverage in the contiguous United States peaked at 38 percent, according to the U.S. Drought
Monitor, on May 5, with a secondary peak of 35 percent on October 20. By the end of 2015, however, drought coverage
had dropped to 19 percent, the lowest since December 2010. Most of the remaining drought was confined to the Far West.
In stark contrast, a late-December deluge led to record flooding in parts of the middle Mississippi Valley, especially in
parts of Missouri and Illinois.
Winter 2014-15: The warmest winter on record covered Washington and four other western States (Arizona, California,
Nevada, and Utah). In California, the previous warmest winter had occurred just last year, in 2013-14. In addition, it was
the second-warmest winter on record in Idaho and Oregon. In contrast, colder-than-normal weather dominated the eastern
half of the United States, despite a mild December. Conditions turned especially harsh in late winter, when the
second-coldest February on record occurred in nine States from Ohio to New England. The Eastern cold wave peaked on
February 20, when freezes were noted as far south as interior southern Florida.
Between the Western warmth and the Eastern chill, the Plains were subjected to frequent and rapid temperature changes.
The winter temperatures extremes, some of which occurred without the benefit of a protective snow cover, caused general
declines in crop condition for winter wheat. Outside of the hard red winter wheat belt, parts of the upper Midwest
experienced a “snow drought,” with less precipitation than normal falling during the winter months.
Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) 85 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Only two small areas, the northern Atlantic region and the Southwest, reported wetter-than-normal winter weather. In
parts of the Northeast, extremely heavy snow fell from late January to mid-February. Elsewhere, most of California’s wet
weather was compressed into two brief periods—the first 3 weeks of December and several days in early February.
Spring: The sudden spring intensification of El Niño contributed to an unexpected deluge in the south-central
United States. The heavy rain eradicated the southern Plains’ 4½-year drought but led to widespread May flooding across
the southeastern Plains, mid-South, and western Gulf Coast region. Significant, late-spring precipitation also fell across
the northern Plains and upper Midwest, helping to boost soil moisture in the wake of a drier-than-normal winter.
In contrast, California’s warmer- and drier-than-normal spring ensured a fourth consecutive year of drought and
prematurely melted an already record-low snowpack. Problems with anemic snowpack extended through the
Pacific Coast States and into the Great Basin and northern Rockies. However, late-spring precipitation was heavy enough
to reduce or eliminate drought coverage in the central and southern Rockies and environs.
Elsewhere, generally drier-than-normal spring weather prevailed in the Atlantic Coast States, with near-record dryness
noted in parts of New England. In the Southeast, above-normal temperatures accompanied sub-par rainfall.
Summer: A strengthening El Niño likely had only a passing influence on summer weather patterns in the United States,
but had a profound effect on the tropical Atlantic and Pacific basins. For example, hostile upper-level winds contributed to
the late-August demise of Hurricane Danny and Tropical Storm Erika, shredding the storms before they could threaten the
mainland United States. Meanwhile, the unusually warm central Pacific Ocean was rife with tropical activity in August, as
five hurricanes churned all around Hawaii without a direct strike.
Meanwhile in the contiguous United States, hot summer weather across the West and South contrasted with moderate
temperatures in the Midwest. The pleasant Midwestern weather allowed corn and soybeans to advance into, and through,
the reproductive and filling stages of development with negligible heat stress. However, the Midwestern summer rainfall
distribution was not ideal, with parts of the southern and eastern Corn Belt plagued by excessive moisture into July. Some
of the previously waterlogged areas experienced a rapid drying trend during August, leading to further crop stress. Farther
south, heat and drought development led to an increase in stress on some pastures and row crops from eastern Texas and
southeastern Oklahoma to the Carolinas. In the western Gulf Coast region, river basins that were enduring the worst
flooding in at least 25 years as summer began were suddenly hit with an extended period of hot, dry weather. By
summer’s end, short-term dryness had expanded northward through the Atlantic Coast States.
Elsewhere, the Northwest—especially Washington—bore the brunt of worsening drought that adversely affected both
winter wheat and spring-sown small grains. Conversely, parts of southern California received unusually heavy rain,
especially during July, but not enough to dent the 4-year drought. Monsoon-related rain showers frequented the
Southwest, providing limited drought relief and causing sporadic flash flooding.
Autumn: Consistent warmth, in part related to a strong El Niño, led to the Nation’s warmest autumn on record. Even
some November cooling in the western United States failed to prevent the former record—set in the fall of 1963—from
being broken. Autumn’s most impressive heat wave occurred in mid-October, shortly before a significant pattern change
brought record-setting rainfall and widespread flooding to parts of the South.
The late-October deluge in the south-central United States, in part fueled by the remnants of Pacific Hurricane Patricia,
was only one of several impressive periods of precipitation. Earlier, moisture indirectly associated with
Atlantic Hurricane Joaquin had brought catastrophic, early-October flooding to parts of South Carolina, setting the stage
for a very difficult harvest (and winter wheat planting) season for some Southeastern producers.
Farther north, most Midwestern producers were able to complete corn and soybean harvesting before field conditions
began to deteriorate during the second half of autumn. Ultimately, parts of the central and western Corn Belt turned wet,
with significant snow twice accumulating across portions of the north-central United States during the second half of
November.
86 Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Elsewhere, the early part of the Western wet season had some unexpected results, considering the strong El Niño. The
Pacific Northwest received unusually heavy precipitation, with some beneficial rain and snow spreading across the
interior Northwest and southward into central California. Early-season storminess also helped to build snowpack in the
Great Basin and Intermountain West, but few meaningful storms reached southern California.
December: Record-setting December warmth covered the Midwest and East, while heavy to record-setting precipitation
fell across the Northwest, mid-South, and upper Midwest. Ongoing precipitation further eased or eradicated Northwestern
drought, but southern California and the Desert Southwest received little December moisture.
Farther east, an already wet pattern across the Nation’s mid-section culminated in a late-month deluge that drove the
Mississippi River to record-high levels from Cape Girardeau, Missouri, to Thebes, Illinois. Record-breaking crests were
also noted along several Mississippi River tributaries, especially in Missouri. The wetness across the mid-South and lower
Midwest increased concerns about Soft Red Winter Wheat due to standing water and lowland flooding. Excessively wet
conditions also continued to plague parts of the Southeast, hampering final harvest and winter wheat planting efforts.
Unusual warmth accompanied the general wetness across the eastern half of the country. In the Southeast, warm
conditions allowed winter grains and cool-season pastures to continue to develop. Farther north, periods of snow
blanketed the upper Midwest, despite above-normal temperatures. Occasional snow also fell across the Plains, providing
winter wheat with some moisture and insulation. On the southern High Plains, however, a late-month blizzard caused
significant livestock losses due to bitter cold and wind-driven snow.
2015 Annual Crop Summary
April: Temperatures were generally above-normal across most of the Nation during the month of April. The major
exceptions to this trend were recorded in the Pacific Northwest, southern Rocky Mountains, and New England, where
April average temperatures were below normal. Monthly precipitation levels were generally within 3 inches of normal,
with exceptions in the southern Great Plains, the Mississippi Delta, and Kentucky. By April 12, two percent of the
Nation’s corn crop was planted, slightly behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average with planting
progress at or behind the 5-year average in all estimating States except Kansas. Producers had planted 55 percent of this
year’s corn crop by May 3, twenty-seven percentage points ahead of last year and 17 percentage points ahead of the
5-year average. Thirty-six percent of the corn crop was planted during the final week of the month, tied for the
third-highest National weekly planting progress on record behind the weeks ending May 19, 2013, and May 10, 1992. By
April 5, producers had planted 2 percent of this year’s cotton crop, 4 percentage points behind both last year and the
5-year average. Nationally, cotton producers had planted 17 percent of the cotton crop by May 3, slightly ahead of last
year but 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
May: Above-average temperatures across the eastern United States during the month of May allowed producers to catch
up on spring fieldwork delays caused by cool, wet weather earlier in the spring. With the exception of the
Pacific Northwest, most locations in the western United States recorded below average temperatures for May slowing
planting and crop progress in the Great Plains and Rocky Mountains. Heading of this year’s winter wheat crop advanced
to 84 percent complete by May 31, six percentage points ahead of last year and 7 percentage points ahead of the 5-year
average. Warm weather in the soft white wheat growing region during the last week of the month advanced wheat
development, with heading 33 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average in both Idaho and Oregon. Nationally,
83 percent of the rice crop was seeded by May 10, eleven percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year
average. Rice planting advanced 37 percentage points in California and 36 percentage points in Missouri during the first
week of May. Ninety percent of the rice crop was emerged by May 31, two percentage points ahead of last year and
3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Arkansas rice producers reported the loss of some acreage to flooding
during the month but were able to apply pre-flood fertilizers and herbicides where possible. Planting of the 2015 corn crop
was 95 percent complete by May 31, slightly ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. By the end of May, at least
90 percent of the corn had emerged in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Planting of the
2015 soybean crop advanced to 13 percent complete by May 3, eight percentage points ahead of last year and
4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 31, seventy-one percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was
planted, 4 percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By the end of the month, wet
Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) 87 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
conditions slowed the soybean planting pace in the central United States, with planting progress 42 percentage points
behind the 5-year average in Kansas and 34 percentage points behind in Missouri.
June: Areas of the central and eastern Corn Belt recorded more than 200 percent of normal precipitation during the month
of June causing delays in spring fieldwork and deterioration of crop ratings. Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio recorded the
wettest June on record dating back to 1895. Dry conditions stressed the Pacific coast with major regions of California,
Oregon, and Washington. Average monthly temperatures were generally above normal across the Nation with areas in the
Pacific Northwest more than 10°F above normal in June. By June 28, sixty-eight percent of the corn crop was reported in
good to excellent condition, 7 percentage points below the same time last year. Ninety-four percent of the Nation’s
soybean crop was planted by June 28, slightly behind last year and 3 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
Missouri continued to lag the rest of the Nation in planting progress. By June 28, Missouri producers had planted
62 percent of their intended soybean crop, 32 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Nationally, 89 percent of the
soybean crop was emerged by June 28, four percentage points behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year
average. Eight percent of the Nation’s soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage by month’s end, slightly behind
both last year and the 5-year average. Heading of the Nation’s barley crop advanced to 62 percent complete by June 28,
thirty-three percentage points ahead of last year and 36 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Hot, dry conditions
in Montana and Washington dried out soils and lowered barley condition ratings in June. By June 28, producers had
harvested 38 percent of the winter wheat crop, 4 percentage points behind last year and 8 percentage points behind the
5-year average.
July: A band stretching from the southern Rocky Mountains through the southern Great Plains in Oklahoma and northern
Texas and into the middle Mississippi and Ohio River Valleys had areas recording over 200 percent of normal
precipitation for the month of July. In the eastern Corn Belt, additional rainfall on already saturated soils made it difficult
to complete summer fieldwork and deteriorated crop conditions. Slightly below-average temperatures across most of the
northern Great Plains and the Corn Belt kept row crop progress slightly behind historical levels. Major sorghum heading
progress was limited to Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas, but a small percentage of the crop was heading in the more
northern States of Illinois, Missouri, and Oklahoma at the beginning of July. Nationally, 29 percent of the sorghum crop
was at or beyond the coloring stage by August 2, five percentage points behind last year and slightly behind the 5-year
average. By July 12, fifty-nine percent of the peanuts had advanced to the pegging stage, slightly ahead of last year and
4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Eighty-eight percent of the peanut crop was pegging by August 2,
two percentage points behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. By July 5, forty-eight percent of this
year’s cotton was at or beyond the squaring stage, 3 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the
5-year average. Nationally, 10 percent of the cotton was setting bolls by July 5, slightly behind last year and 4 percentage
points behind the 5-year average. Ninety-two percent of the Nation’s cotton was at or beyond the squaring stage by
August 2, two percentage points behind last year and the 5-year average. By August 2, bolls were setting on 57 percent of
the cotton crop, 8 percentage points behind last year and 7 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By August 2,
twenty-nine percent of the Nation’s corn crop was at or beyond the dough stage, 4 percentage points behind last year and
2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. In eleven of the eighteen major estimating States, the percentage of the
crop in the dough stage was behind the 5-year average at month’s end.
August: Average monthly temperatures were below normal across the Corn Belt and the northern Great Plains during the
month of August depriving crops of heat units as they were developing towards maturation. Small pockets in Alabama,
Florida, Iowa, and Missouri recorded rainfall levels more than 5 inches above normal during the month of August.
Overall, 70 percent of the spring wheat was reported in good to excellent condition on August 16, unchanged from
August 2 but 2 percentage points better than the same time last year. By August 30, eighty-eight percent of the spring
wheat crop was harvested, 52 percentage points ahead of last year and 26 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.
By August 23, eighty-seven percent of the soybeans were at or beyond the pod setting stage, 2 percentage points behind

Crop Comments
Corn: Corn for grain production in the United States is estimated at 13.6 billion bushels, down slightly from the
November forecast and down 4 percent from the record 2014 estimate. The average yield in the United States is estimated
at 168.4 bushels per acre. This is down 0.9 bushel from the November forecast and 2.6 bushels below the record 2014
average yield of 171.0 bushels per acre, but is the second highest yield on record.
Estimated yields in 2015 are up from the previous year across the northern tier corn producing States. Wet conditions
hampered yield potential in the eastern Corn Belt States. Record yields are estimated in Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Iowa,
Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Corn planted area, at 88.0 million acres, is down 3 percent from 2014. Area harvested for grain is estimated at
80.7 million acres, up slightly from the November forecast but down 3 percent from the 2014 estimate.
The 2015 corn objective yield data indicate the highest number of ears per acre on record for the combined 10 objective
yield States (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin).
Record high ear counts were recorded in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Ohio, and South Dakota.
Corn silage production is estimated at 127 million tons for 2015, down less than 1 percent from 2014. The United States
silage yield is estimated at 20.4 tons per acre, up 0.3 ton from 2014. Area harvested for silage is estimated at 6.22 million
acres, down 2 percent from a year ago.
States in the eastern Corn Belt began the 2015 crop year with wet planting conditions during April, while the rest of the
growing region saw favorable weather. Most States experienced improved planting conditions by the beginning of May
allowing producers across the region to plant 55 percent of this year’s corn crop by May 3, twenty-seven percentage
points ahead of last year and 17 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 17, the majority of the Nation’s
corn crop, 56 percent, had emerged, 24 percentage points ahead of 2014.
By June 14, more than 90 percent of the crop had emerged in all estimating States except Colorado, Kansas, and Missouri.
By June 21, wet conditions in the eastern Corn Belt led to worsening of corn condition ratings, which dropped
15 percentage points in the good to excellent categories in Indiana and 19 percentage points in Ohio. By June 28, wet
conditions continued to hinder States in the eastern Corn Belt which led to further deterioration of corn condition ratings,
dropping another 19 percentage points in the good to excellent categories in Ohio and 10 percentage points in Indiana.
By July 5, sunny conditions helped to ease ponding in fields in the eastern Corn Belt, boosting good to excellent ratings in
Ohio by 3 percentage points and keeping good to excellent ratings steady in Indiana. By July 19, warm weather had
accelerated corn development in the western Corn Belt, with silking advancing 39 percentage points or more during the
week in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota. By July 26, fourteen percent of the corn crop was at or beyond the

Favorable conditions early in the spring allowed for access to fields and the planting of soybeans across the Nation by
early May. Planting of this year’s soybean crop was underway by May 3 in all 18 major soybean States.
Thirty-one percent of the crop was planted by May 10, thirteen percentage points ahead of last year and 11 percentage
points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 31, wet conditions slowed the planting pace in the central United States, with
planting progress 42 percentage points behind the 5-year average in Kansas and 34 percentage points behind in Missouri.
Nationally, 71 percent of the soybean crop was planted by the end of May, four percentage points behind last year but
slightly ahead of the 5-year average.
Nationally, 75 percent of the soybean crop was emerged by June 14, six percentage points behind last year and
2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Kansas soybean emergence was 40 percentage points, or about 17 days,
behind the 5-year average by June 14. Nationally, 89 percent of the soybean crop was emerged by June 28,
four percentage points behind last year and 5 percentage points behind the 5-year average. By the end of June,
eight percent of the soybean crop was blooming, slightly behind both last year and the 5-year average.
Ninety-six percent of the Nation’s soybeans were emerged by July 12, four percentage points behind both last year and
the 5-year average. By July 12, thirty-eight percent of the Nation’s soybeans were at or beyond the blooming stage,
slightly behind last year but slightly ahead of the 5-year average. Thirty-four percent of the soybeans were at or beyond
the pod-setting stage by July 26, slightly behind last year but 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By
August 2, eighty-one percent of this year’s soybean crop was at or beyond the blooming stage, 3 percentage points behind
last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Fifty-four percent of the soybeans were at or beyond the
pod-setting stage by August 2, equal to last year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. As of August 2,
sixty-three percent of the soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 71 percent for the same
week last year.
Cooler temperatures throughout the Midwest in August slowed development of the Nation’s soybean crop compared to
historical averages. By August 30, ninety-three percent of the soybean crop was at or beyond the pod-setting stage,
slightly behind last year and 2 percentage points behind the 5-year average. As of August 30, sixty-three percent of the
United States soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 9 percentage points below the same time in 2014.
Warm and dry conditions throughout most of the Midwest in September accelerated the maturity and harvest progress of
the soybean crop. Overall, harvest was 42 percent complete on October 4, twenty-three percentage points ahead of last
year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. At that time, harvest progress was over 20 percentage points
ahead of the 5-year average in Minnesota, North Dakota, and Ohio. As of October 4, sixty-four percent of the Nation’s
soybean crop was rated in good to excellent condition, 9 percentage points below the same week last year.
Warm and dry conditions during the month of October provided suitable conditions for fieldwork across the major
soybean producing regions. By October 18, the soybean crop was 77 percent harvested, 26 percentage points ahead of last
year and 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Producers in the eastern Corn Belt especially benefitted from
favorable harvest conditions, with progress as of October 18 thirty-two percentage points ahead of the State 5-year
average in Ohio and 20 percentage points ahead in Indiana. As of November 8, harvest was 95 percent complete
Nationwide, 6 percentage points ahead of last year and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

forecast but up slightly from last year. Area harvested, at 937,700 acres, is down 1 percent from the November forecast
but up 1 percent from last year. The average yield is estimated at 431 cwt per acre, down 1 cwt from the November
forecast and down 3 cwt from last year’s yield.
Idaho’s 2015 potential potato yields were reduced by summer heat, particularly in eastern areas of the State. All varieties
were adversely affected by the heat, but Russet Burbanks in particular. Late blight was a problem in parts of the State as
well. Summer heat also negatively impacted Washington’s potato yield and quality.
Sweet potatoes: Production of sweet potatoes in 2015 is estimated at 31.0 million cwt, up 5 percent from last year.
Growers harvested 153,100 acres, up 13 percent from last year. Yield per acre, at 203 cwt, is down 16 cwt from last year.
In North Carolina, the growing season was hot and dry with limited rainfall which reduced overall yields. Mississippi
growers were hindered by excessive rains during planting and then drought during the summer. In California, acreage
remained stable as growers were faced with water shortages.
Peppermint oil: Production in 2015 is estimated at 5.88 million pounds, up 3 percent from last year. Harvested area is
estimated at 65,200 acres, up 3 percent from 2014. Average yield is estimated at 90 pounds of oil per acre, the same as a
year ago.
Spearmint oil: Production is estimated at 3.07 million pounds for 2015, up 10 percent from last year. Harvested area is
estimated at 27,200 acres, up 2,800 acres from a year ago. Average yield is estimated at 113 pounds of oil per acre, down
1 pound from last year.
Hops: Production for Idaho, Oregon, and Washington in 2015 totaled 78.8 million pounds, up 11 percent from the
2014 crop of 71.0 million pounds. Production increased in all three States: 30 percent in Oregon, 26 percent in Idaho, and
6 percent in Washington. Acreage increased in all three States: 22 percent in Oregon, 30 percent in Idaho, and 11 percent
in Washington. The United States yield, at 1,807 pounds per acre, decreased 61 pounds from a year ago. These are the
highest acres harvested and production on record in Idaho going back to 1944 and the highest acres harvested on record in
Washington going back to 1915.
Washington growers produced 75 percent of the United States hop crop in 2015. Cascade, Zeus, Simcoe, Centennial, and
Columbus/Tomahawk were the leading varieties in Washington, accounting for 52 percent of the State’s hop crop. In
Oregon, Nugget and Cascade were the major varieties, accounting for 47 percent of the State’s hop production. In Idaho,
Zeus, Cascade, and Chinook were the major varieties, accounting for 44 percent of the State’s hop production.
The preliminary 2015 value of production of the United States hop crop is $345 million, up 33 percent from the revised
2014 value of $261 million. In 2015, growers reported receiving record high prices both in Washington and at the national
level. The increased value can be attributed to higher production and hop production shifting from Alpha varieties to
Aroma varieties that are higher in value. Increased demand from the craft brewing sector has also led to higher prices for
hops.
Maple syrup: The 2015 United States maple syrup production totaled 3.41 million gallons, up 6 percent from the
previous year. The number of taps is estimated at 11.9 million, up 4 percent from the 2014 total. Yield per tap is estimated
to be 0.287 gallons, up 2 percent from the previous season’s yield. All States, with the exception of Ohio, showed an
increase in production from the previous year.
Taro: Hawaii taro production for the 2015 crop year is 3.50 million pounds, up 8 percent from the previous year.
Harvested area at 340 acres, is down 20 acres from 2014. Yield for 2015 is 10,300 pounds per acre, up 1,300 pounds per
acre from last year. Adequate moisture had a positive effect on overall production.
98 Crop Production 2015 Summary (January 2016) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: The estimates in this report are based primarily on surveys conducted the first two weeks of
December. The December Agricultural Survey (DAS) is a probability survey that includes a sample of approximately
83,000 farm operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to be
selected. Data from operators was collected by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on
crop acreage, yield and production for the 2015 crop year.
Estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and farm operator reported data (DAS) were reviewed
for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather
patterns and crop progress compared with previous years. Each Field Office submits an estimate and written analysis for
their State to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data, administrative data, and the State
analysis to prepare the estimates published in this report.
Revision policy: Estimates contained in this report may be revised the following year, if new information is available that
would justify a change. Estimates will also be reviewed after data for the 5-year Census of Agriculture are available. No
revisions will be made after that date.
Reliability: The surveys used to make the acreage, yield, and production estimates contained in this report are subject to
sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. Reliability of the objective yield and farmer
survey must be treated separately because the survey designs for the two surveys are different. The objective yield
indications (corn, cotton, and soybeans) are subject to sampling variability because all acres of a given commodity are not
included in the sample.
The farm operator survey indications are also subject to sampling variability because not all operations with commodities
of interest are included in the sample. This variability, as measured by the relative standard error at the National level, is
approximately 1.1 for corn, 2.4 for Upland cotton and 1.0 for soybeans. This means that chances are approximately 95 out
of 100 that survey estimates for production will be within plus or minus 2.2 percent for corn, 4.8 percent for Upland
cotton, and 2.0 percent for soybeans.
Survey indications are also subject to non-sampling errors such as omission, duplication, imputation for missing data, and
mistakes in reporting, recording, and processing the data. These errors cannot be measured directly, but they are
minimized through rigid quality controls in the data collection process and a careful review of all reported data for
consistency and reasonableness.
