USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) will review all available data, including survey data, satellite-based data and the latest information from USDA’s Farm Service Agency and Risk Management Agency for planted and harvested acreage for corn, soybeans and other crops in preparation for the Sept. 12 Crop Production Report. If the data review justifies any changes, NASS will publish updated planted and harvested acreage estimates.

It is normal practice for NASS to review the acreage data in September for chickpeas, cotton, dry edible peas, lentils, peanuts and rice. The review typically takes place in October for corn, sorghum, soybeans and sugarbeets. However, that data is sufficiently complete this year to consider adjustments this month. In October, NASS will review acreage for canola, dry edible beans and sunflowers.
