July Weather Summary
Record-shattering July heat from the Desert Southwest to Florida contrasted
with slightly below-normal temperatures across the northern Plains and upper
Midwest. Monthly temperatures averaged more than 5�F above normal in some
Southwestern communities. Phoenix, Arizona, became the first major American
city to record a monthly average temperature above 100�F while enduring
31 consecutive days (from June 30 to July 30) with 110-degree heat.
Southwestern heat was aggravated by a weak and erratic monsoon circulation.
Some of the most significant agricultural impacts related to the extreme heat
affected the southern Plains and the western Gulf Coast region, with one-half
of the cotton in Texas rated in very poor to poor condition by July 30.
Rangeland and pastures in Texas were rated 58 percent very poor to poor on
that date.
Nationally, topsoil moisture was rated 49 percent very short to short by
July 30, led by Washington (84 percent), Texas (83 percent), Missouri
(75 percent), Oregon (73 percent), and New Mexico (72 percent). According to
the Drought Monitor, drought coverage stood at 28 percent of the Lower
48 States on August 1, up from 27 percent near the end of June and a 3-year
minimum of 19 percent on May 30. However, July improvement from the central
Plains into the Northeast contrasted with worsening conditions in several
areas, including portions of Texas, the Four Corners States, the western
Gulf Coast region, and across the Nation's northern tier as far east as the
upper Great Lakes region. On August 1, extreme to exceptional drought covered
29 percent of Kansas, 19 percent of Missouri, 16 percent of Nebraska,
12 percent of Wisconsin, and 2 to 5 percent of Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and
Texas.
The Nation's corn crop-rated just 50 percent good to excellent on June 25 due
to spring and early-summer drought-experienced a rare, mid-summer rebound to
57 percent in those two categories by July 23. Soybeans rated good to
excellent jumped from 50 to 55 percent between July 2 and 16. Late in the
month, however, heat surging across the Plains and Midwest briefly increased
stress on summer crops that had been benefiting from several weeks of
relatively cool, showery weather. The Midwest-and many other areas of the
country-continued to note sporadic smoke and haze related to rampant Canadian
wildfires, which during the first 7 months of 2023 scorched some 32 million
acres of vegetation, mostly boreal forest. The previous modern annual
Canadian record had been just over 17.5 million burned acres in 1995.
Interestingly, wildfires in the United States charred only 1.2 million acres
from January-July 2023, less than one-third of the 10-year average of nearly
3.8 million acres. Despite a late-July uptick in wildfire activity across the
western United States, overall acreage remained relatively low partly due to
the bounteous 2022-23 winter wet season, which kept potentially vulnerable
hillsides moist or covered by snow until late into the spring.
During July, notably wet areas included the Northeast, portions of the lower
Great Lakes region, and the Nation's heartland, especially from southwestern
Kansas into central Oklahoma. A Northeastern deluge peaked on July 9-10, with
some locations from Pennsylvania to Vermont receiving more than 5 inches of
rain. In Vermont, subsequent crests on Otter Creek at Center Rutland and
Williams River near Rockingham were second only to the Hurricane Irene-
induced high-water marks of August 28-29, 2011. Additional rain later in the
month pushed a few Northeastern locations, including Albany, New York, to
their wettest July on record. On July 30, topsoil moisture was rated 50 to
100 percent surplus in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Beneficial Midwestern rainfall was less widespread from the
Mississippi Valley westward, leaving pockets of unfavorable dryness. On
July 30, Missouri led the Nation with rangeland and pastures rated 71 percent
very poor to poor, compared with the national value of 29 percent. Among
major reporting states, Missouri also led the country in corn and soybeans
rated very poor to poor-44 and 34 percent, respectively. On the same date,
pastures were 44 percent very poor to poor in Minnesota and 41 percent in
Illinois. Farther west, much of the Nation's spring wheat belt experienced
drier-than-normal weather late in the growing season. By July 30, only
42 percent of the spring wheat was rated in good to excellent condition, down
from 51 percent just 2 weeks earlier and a season-opening peak of 64 percent
on June 4.
July Agricultural Summary
July was warmer than average for much of the Nation. Parts of Louisiana,
Maine, Oregon, the Southwest, Texas, and Utah recorded temperatures 4�F or
more above normal for the month. In contrast, much of the upper Midwest, and
Great Plains, as well as parts of the Rockies, were cooler than average.
Locations in the Great Basin and Northern Plains recorded temperatures 4�F or
more below normal. Much of the southern Delta, upper Midwest, Southwest, and
West remained drier than normal for the month. In contrast, parts of the
Great Lakes, Mississippi Valley, Northeast, and Great Plains, as well as
locations in the Mid-Atlantic, Rockies, and Southwest, recorded at least
twice the normal amount of precipitation. Heavy rainfall in the Northeast led
to catastrophic flooding in parts of New York and New England. Locations in
Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont recorded 12 inches or more of rain
for the month.
By July 2, eight percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking
stage, 1 percentage point ahead of last year but 1 percentage point behind
the 5-year average. By July 16, forty-seven percent of the Nation's corn
acreage had reached the silking stage, 13 percentage points ahead of last
year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 16,
seven percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage,
2 percentage points ahead of last year and 1 percentage point ahead of the
5-year average. By July 30, eighty-four percent of the Nation's corn acreage
had reached the silking stage, 7 percentage points ahead of last year and
2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 30,
twenty-nine percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage,
5 percentage points ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. On
July 30, fifty-five percent of the Nation's corn acreage was rated in good to
excellent condition, 6 percentage points below the same time last year. In
Iowa, the largest corn producing State, 59 percent of the corn crop was rated
in good to excellent condition.
By July 2, twenty-four percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached
the blooming stage, 9 percentage points ahead of last year and 4 percentage
points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 2, four percent of the Nation's
soybean acreage had begun setting pods, 1 percentage point ahead of last year
and 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 16,
fifty-six percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming
stage, 10 percentage points ahead of last year and 5 percentage points ahead
of the 5-year average. By July 16, twenty percent of the Nation's soybean
acreage had begun setting pods, 7 percentage points ahead of last year and
3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 30,
eighty-three percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming
stage, 6 percentage points ahead of last year and 5 percentage points ahead
of the 5-year average. By July 30, fifty percent of the Nation's soybean
acreage had begun setting pods, 9 percentage points ahead of last year and
3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. On July 30,
fifty-two percent of the Nation's soybean acreage was rated in good to
excellent condition, 8 percentage points below the same time last year.
Thirty-seven percent of the 2023 winter wheat acreage had been harvested by
July 2, fifteen percentage points behind last year and 9 percentage points
behind the 5-year average. On July 9, forty percent of the 2023 winter wheat
crop was reported in good to excellent condition, 9 percentage points above
the same time last year. Fifty-six percent of the 2023 winter wheat acreage
had been harvested by July 16, thirteen percentage points behind both last
year and the 5-year average. Eighty percent of the 2023 winter wheat acreage
had been harvested by July 30, one percentage point behind last year and
3 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Winter wheat harvest progress
continued with advances of 25 percentage points or better reported in
Colorado, Nebraska, Oregon, and South Dakota.
Forty-two percent of the Nation's cotton acreage had reached the squaring

year is forecast at 9.91 billion pounds, up 1 percent from the previous year.
In Washington, the largest growing State, weather conditions improved
significantly from the previous year. Better growing conditions are leading
to an expected 9 percent increase in production from the previous year. In
New York, a mild winter that weakened the cold hardiness of the apple crop
followed by a very warm spring has caused the expected production to be the
lowest since 2012. In Michigan, there were no widespread spring frost damage
events, and July precipitation enhanced fruit sizing. Early season variety
harvesting has begun in southern Michigan.
Cranberries: United States cranberry total production for the 2023 season is
forecast at 7.62 million barrels, down 5 percent from the 2022 crop year. In
Wisconsin, the largest growing State, production is forecast at
4.60 million barrels, down 5 percent from last year. Production in
Massachusetts, forecast at 2.00 million barrels, is down 12 percent from last
year. Cranberry growers experienced cold temperatures, with below-normal
precipitation and above-normal snowfall during the winter months. In
Wisconsin and Massachusetts, the winter freeze and early snow impacted plant
dormancy and froze out buds. In the spring and early summer months, numerous
frosts and hailstorms occurred during the growing season. Growers in some
areas reported severe frost damage, resulting in reduced crop growth and
yield loss. In Oregon, the crop faced threats from the intensive heat and
extreme weather in late June and mid to late July, and growers are concerned
about fruit size. With good management practices, cranberry growers expect a
good to average season despite the challenging weather during the bloom
period.
Grapes: United States grape production for 2023 is forecast
at 6.29 million tons, up 6 percent from last year. In California, the largest
growing State, wine type grape production is forecast at 3.80 million tons,
up 12 percent from last season, and represents 64 percent of California's
total grape crop. California's raisin type grape production is forecast
at 970,000 tons, down 4 percent from last year, and represents 16 percent of
California's total grape crop. California's table type grape production is
forecast at 1.15 million tons, up 3 percent from last year and represents the
remaining 20 percent of California's total grape crop. A cool, wet spring
this year delayed the grape crops along the coast and in the Sierra Foothills
by a couple of weeks. Growers across the state struggled with high production
costs. Table grape harvest in the Coachella Valley is going well, with low
pest and disease pressure.
Peaches: United States peach total production for the 2023 season is forecast
at 543,000 tons, down 13 percent from 2022. In California, the largest
growing State, production is forecast at 445,000 tons, down 7 percent from
the previous forecast and down 6 percent from 2022. California Freestone
production is forecast at 260,000 tons, down 4 percent from the previous
forecast and down 2 percent from 2022. Significant rain and cooler
temperatures delayed and extended the bloom period. Harvest of peaches is
ongoing. California Clingstone production is forecast at 185,000 tons,
down 12 percent from the previous forecast and down 11 percent from 2022.
Full bloom occurred on March 14, eight days later than last year. All regions
of the state reported the highest number of chilling hours in the past
ten years. Growers are expecting to thin the crop a week and a half later
than last year. South Carolina production is forecast at 23,000 tons,
down 66 percent from last year. Peach production was impacted by two freeze
events in March. In addition, due to the freeze events, brown rot and other
bacterial diseases were problematic due to the freezing temperatures, which
impacted spraying schedules. Georgia production is forecast at 5,500 tons,
down 78 percent from last year. Peach blossoms and advanced fruit development
were impacted in March by two freeze events.
Pears: United States pear total production for 2023 is forecast at
645,000 tons, up slightly from last year. In Washington and Oregon, the two
largest pear producing States, the bloom season was delayed by cold weather.
Then, the warm weather occurred rapidly, causing trees to bloom all at once.
The usual pattern is the warmer areas will bloom first. Weeks later, higher-
elevation and cooler areas will bloom. The 2023 crop saw this pattern
disrupted. Further, warm weather, open blossoms, and rain, caused growers to
become concerned about fire blight, which is a disease that is caused by
bacteria infection. Overall, harvest is expected to be delayed this year with
the prospect of having an average crop. In California, despite the concern by
some producers about phytophthora, also known as water molds, production is
expected to be the highest since 2017. The excess moisture seemed to have had
a positive impact on this year's crop.
Statistical Methodology
Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted
between July 24 and August 7 to gather information on expected yields as of
August 1. The objective yield survey for winter wheat was conducted in 10
States that account for 64 percent of the 2022 winter wheat production. The
objective yield survey for cotton was only conducted in the southern portions
of Texas. 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. 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 heads
or bolls 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 revisited
each month until crop maturity when the fruit are 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 first objective yield survey conducted for these crops will
begin in September.
The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use
of mail, internet, and personal interviews. Approximately 14,700 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 August 1 forecasts.
Revision policy: The August 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 acres for barley, oats, and wheat are subject to
revision in the August Crop Production report. Acres for chickpeas, corn,
cotton, dry edible peas, lentils, peanuts, rice, sorghum, soybeans, and
sugarbeets are subject for revision in the September Crop Production report
each year. Barley, oat, rye, and wheat end-of-season estimates are made in
the Small Grains Annual report at the end of September. Canola, dry edible
beans, and sunflower acres are subject to revision in the October Crop
Production report. Potato acres are subject to revision in the November Crop
Production report. End-of-season estimates for all other row crops are made
in the Annual Crop Production Summary in January. 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 August 1
production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure
based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the August 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 August 1 corn for grain production
forecast is 4.0 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 4.0 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level)
that the difference will not exceed 7.0 percent.
Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of
the differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using
corn again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final
estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 384 million bushels, ranging
from 5 million bushels to 1.17 billion bushels. The August 1 forecast has
been below the final estimate 8 times and above 12 times. This does not imply
that the August 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or
overstate final production.
