1 Crop Production ISSN: Released September 11, 2014, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Corn Production Up 3 Percent from August Forecast Soybean Production Up 3 Percent Cotton Production Down 6 Percent Corn production is forecast at 14.4 billion bushels, up 3 percent from both the August forecast and from Based on conditions as of September 1, yields are expected to average bushels per acre, up 4.3 bushels from the August forecast and 12.9 bushels above the 2013 average. If realized, this will be the highest yield and production on record for the United States. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 83.8 million acres, unchanged from the August forecast but down 4 percent from Soybean production is forecast at a record 3.91 billion bushels, up 3 percent from August and up 19 percent from last year. Based on September 1 conditions, yields are expected to average a record high 46.6 bushels per acre, up 1.2 bushels from last month and up 3.3 bushels from last year. Area for harvest in the United States is forecast at a record 84.1 million acres, unchanged from August but up 11 percent from last year. All cotton production is forecast at 16.5 million 480-pound bales, down 6 percent from the August forecast but up 28 percent from Yield is expected to average 803 pounds per harvested acre, down 2 percent from last year. Upland cotton production is forecast at 16.0 million 480-pound bales, up 30 percent from Pima cotton production, forecast at 578,000 bales, is down 9 percent from last year. California Navel orange production for the season is forecast at 1.62 million tons (40.5 million boxes), down 4 percent from last season. Producers reported a difficult season for navel oranges due to drought and the December 2013 freeze. This initial forecast is based on an objective measurement survey conducted in California s Central Valley from July to early September. Harvest is expected to begin in October.

17 Fall Potato Varieties Planted The National Agricultural Statistics Service collects variety data in seven States, accounting for 81 percent of the 2014 United States fall potato planted acres. The seven States conduct objective yield surveys where all producing areas are sampled in proportion to planted acreage. Variety data shown below are actual percentages from these surveys.
