Biotechnology Varieties The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the June Agricultural Survey in all s each year. Randomly selected farmers across the United s were asked if they planted corn, soybeans, or upland cotton seed that, through biotechnology, is resistant to herbicides, insects, or both. Conventionally bred herbicide resistant varieties are excluded. Insect resistant varieties include only those containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). The Bt varieties include those that contain more than one gene that can resist different types of insects. Stacked gene varieties include only those containing biotech traits for both herbicide and insect resistance. The s published individually in the following tables represent 8 percent of all corn planted acres, 88 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 92 percent of all upland cotton planted acres.

Spring Weather Summary Highlights: Cool weather in the West and record-setting warmth from Michigan to Maine highlighted the spring season. A wet spring eased the effects of a dry winter in the Northwest, while a gradual drying trend affected much of the Nation s southern tier. Drought persisted through the end of May in parts of the Great Lakes region and developed in parts of the Gulf Coast s. According to preliminary information provided by the National Climatic Data Center, the Nation experienced its twenty-first warmest and fiftieth driest spring on record. The United s spring average temperature of 3.2 degrees Fahrenheit was 1.3 degrees above the 11-00 mean. It was the warmest spring on record in Michigan, New Jersey, New York and all six New England s, and among the warmest in other Midwestern and Northeastern s. In contrast, California experienced its fourteenth coolest spring. Spring precipitation averaged 7.44 inches (96 percent of the long-term mean) across the contiguous United s. rankings ranged from the fifth driest spring in Louisiana to the second wettest spring in Rhode Island. Individual monthly highlights included March flooding in the Northeast, rapid Midwestern planting progress in April, and southern rainfall extremes during May. For the latter highlight, May opened with historic rains in parts of Kentucky and Tennessee, while drought developed and expanded during the month from eastern Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley. March: Dryness developed or expanded during March in a few areas, including the Great Lakes s and the central Gulf Coast region. Meanwhile, unusually warm weather from the northern Plains into the Northeast contrasted with cool conditions across the Nation s southern tier. In fact, record-setting March warmth (locally more than degrees Fahrenheit above normal) affected the upper Great Lakes region, while record-low March temperatures (more than degrees Fahrenheit below normal) were noted in parts of Florida. Among the wettest regions was the northern Atlantic coastal plain, where three major March storms (along with another system in late February) induced several rounds of flooding. Hardest hit were Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts, where record-setting monthly precipitation totals of to 18 inches were common. Interestingly, most of the precipitation fell in the liquid form, with snow mostly confined to higher elevations of the Northeast. Meanwhile, most of the South - excluding Florida s peninsula - dried out during March, promoting an acceleration of planting activities for crops such as corn, rice, and sorghum. In most cases, however, cool weather slowed summer crop emergence. Farther north, March precipitation limited pre-planting fieldwork in most of the Corn Belt. The melting of an extensive snow cover contributed to spring flooding from the eastern Dakotas into the middle Mississippi Valley. Elsewhere, highly variable conditions existed across the Plains and the West. The Rockies received significant snow, which was especially beneficial in drought-affected northern areas. On the central and southern High Plains, pastures and winter wheat benefited from abundant rain and snow. In contrast, California experienced a disappointingly dry March, following an otherwise adequate wet season, while parts of the northern High Plains also trended dry. April: Much of the eastern half of the Nation experienced a drying trend during April, promoting a rapid planting pace but limiting moisture for crop emergence and establishment. In fact, United s corn planting proceeded at a record pace during the second half of April, with half the crop planted by April 2 and more than two-thirds (68 percent) in the ground by May 2. Previous records, set in 04, had been 37 and 0 percent, respectively, for those two dates. Toward month s end, however, torrential rainfall overspread the Mid-South, particularly from western and central Tennessee into Kentucky. Mid-South rainfall totals in excess of a foot triggered record flooding, but largely bypassed major production areas for crops such as corn and soft red winter wheat. In addition, little cotton had been planted in the northern Delta at the time of the deluge. In contrast, drought expanded and intensified during April in an area centered on Louisiana, where year-to-date precipitation deficits locally surpassed inches. 32 Acreage (June )
Meanwhile, most of the Plains winter wheat crop continued to experience favorable growing conditions, with mild weather, frequent showers, and abundant soil moisture reserves. Elsewhere, near- to above-normal monthly precipitation totals were common across the western half of the United s, except in the Southwest. Cool weather accompanied the western precipitation, resulting in fieldwork and crop developmental delays. However, the late-season storminess also improved water-supply prospects in drought-affected areas of the interior Northwest. April temperatures ranged from more than degrees Fahrenheit below normal in parts of California to as much as to degrees Fahrenheit above normal from the Midwest into the Northeast. According to preliminary information provided by the National Climatic Data Center, record-setting April warmth occurred in Illinois, New Jersey, and three New England s. May: The record Midwestern corn planting pace of late April slowed markedly during a cool, damp period in the first half of May. Soybean planting slowed as well, especially during the week of May -16. However, during the second half of the month, warm, showery weather promoted corn and soybean emergence and development. Meanwhile, a variety of weather extremes affected the South. For example, May opened with record flooding in parts of Tennessee and Kentucky, while drought gradually expanded and intensified from eastern Texas into the lower Mississippi Valley. Southern warmth generally promoted crop development, including winter wheat maturation, although hotter- and drier-than-normal weather stressed pastures and rain-fed summer crops in an area centered on Louisiana. Farther west, cool, wet conditions on the northern Plains contrasted with warm weather and a gradual drying trend on the southern Plains. In the latter region, early stages of the winter wheat harvest advanced as far north as southwestern Oklahoma by month s end. On the northern Plains, winter wheat and spring-sown small grains benefited from abundant rainfall but developed at a slightly slower-than-normal pace. Cool, wet weather also limited small grain growth in the Northwest, where late-season rain and snow continued to improve water-supply prospects. Cool weather also hampered the development of summer crops, such as cotton and rice, in California, although conditions improved toward month s end. Monthly temperatures averaged at least degrees Fahrenheit below normal in a broad area stretching from California to the northern High Plains. In contrast, readings averaged as much as degrees Fahrenheit above normal in scattered locations from the central Gulf Coast into the lower Great Lakes region. Crop Comments Corn: The corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 87.9 million acres, up 2 percent from last year. Growers expect to harvest 81.0 million acres for grain, also up 2 percent from last year. Farmers responding to the survey indicated that 99 percent of the intended corn acreage had been planted at the time of the interview compared with the -year average of 98 percent. Producers in the major corn-producing s (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin) planted 68.4 million acres of corn in, up 1 percent from last year. The largest increases were recorded in Illinois and Kansas, both up 600,000 acres from last year. Other notable increases were shown in Indiana, up 0,000 acres; Missouri, up 0,000 acres; and Ohio, up 20,000 acres. The largest declines occurred in Iowa, down 0,000 acres, and Nebraska and South Dakota, both down 30,000 acres from last year. Planting got off to a rapid start in due to favorable conditions across much of the major corn-producing region during the middle of April. By April 2, half of the Nation s corn acreage had been planted, the earliest date on record that planting had progressed to the midpoint. At 0 percent complete, planting progress was percentage points ahead of the 09 pace and 28 percentage points ahead of the -year average pace. Planting progress was over percentage points ahead of the -year average at this point in time in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota, four of the five largest corn-producing s. The end of April brought widespread frost to parts of the Midwest, but damage was minimal due to the fact that only a small amount of the crop had emerged. Acreage (June ) 33
Favorable planting conditions carried over into the first part of May, with 81 percent of the intended corn acreage planted as of May 9. This represented the third quickest planting pace on record, behind only 04 and 00, respectively. However, below average temperatures and wet weather dominated much of the Midwest and portions of the Plains during the middle part of May, hampering the planting of the remaining acreage and threatening emerged plants. Planting progress was limited to percentage points or less in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, and Minnesota during the week ending May 16. Producers continued to battle wet field conditions during the latter part of May but were able to plant an additional percent during the final two weeks of the month bringing the overall total to 97 percent. This was slightly ahead of the -year average pace of 96 percent. Producers planted 86 percent of their acreage with seed varieties developed using biotechnology, up 1 percent from 09. Varieties containing bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) were planted on 16 percent of the acreage, down 1 percent from last year. Herbicide resistant varieties developed using biotechnology were planted on 23 percent of the acreage, up 1 percent from 09. Stacked gene varieties, those containing both insect and herbicide resistance, were planted on 47 percent of the acreage, up 1 percent from a year ago. Sorghum: Area planted to sorghum in is estimated at 6.00 million acres, down percent from 09. Area to be harvested for grain is forecast at.18 million acres, down 6 percent from last year. Producers in Kansas and Texas planted 2. million acres in each, down 11 percent from 09. In Kansas, planting began in mid-may and was over 80 percent complete by the middle of June, slightly ahead of last year and normal. Planting progress in Texas was also ahead of last year with 93 percent complete as of June. For the 11 major producing s, 73 percent of the crop was rated good to excellent for the week ending June. Oats: Area seeded to oats for the crop year totaled 3.18 million acres, down 7 percent from the previous year and the lowest on record. Area seeded to oats decreased or remained unchanged in all but five of the 31 estimating s. The largest decreases in seeded acreage occurred in North Dakota and Texas, with a reduction of 80,000 and 0,000 acres, respectively. Modest increases in seeded acreage are expected in Indiana, Ohio, Maine, Missouri, and Wisconsin. Growers expect to harvest 1.32 million acres, down percent from 09. This decrease is largely attributed to North Dakota and Minnesota, where area for harvest is down 3,000 and,000 acres from the previous year, respectively. Oat seeding was well underway by April 4 with one-third of the Nation s crop sown. By May 23, ninety-six percent of the crop was seeded, slightly behind normal. However, planting in North Dakota and South Dakota was well behind the -year average. Oat emergence followed a similar pattern Nationally, and by June 6, North Dakota and South Dakota were the furthest behind normal. As of June, eighty-one percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 6 percent last year. Barley: Producers seeded 2.97 million acres of barley for the crop year, down 17 percent from the previous year. This is the lowest barley seeded acreage on record, well below the previous record low of 3.4 million acres established in 06. Harvested area, forecasted at 2. million acres, is down 18 percent from 09, and if realized, will be the lowest since 1883. Producers in North Dakota seeded 80,000 acres, a record low for the, and expect to harvest 7,000 acres, both down percent from the previous year. In Montana and Idaho, seeded area decreased 170,000 acres and,000 acres from 09, respectively. Record lows for planted area were also established for Michigan, Minnesota, and South Dakota. Barley seeding was well underway across much of the major producing regions by April 18, when 18 percent of the Nation s crop was in the ground. Above average temperatures and mostly dry weather during February and March promoted an early start to seeding in Washington, while cool, wet conditions and late-spring snow hampered fieldwork in Idaho. By May, ninety-six percent of the crop had been seeded, with overall progress at or ahead of normal in the five largest barley-producing s. 34 Acreage (June )
