Rice Stocks ISSN: 1949-1603 Released June 30, 2026, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Rough Rice Stocks Up 7 Percent from June 2025 Rough rice stocks in all positions on June 1, 2026 totaled 74.8 million hundredweight (cwt), up 7 percent from the total on June 1, 2025. Stocks held on farms totaled 12.5 million cwt and off-farm stocks totaled 62.3 million cwt. Long grain varieties accounted for 73 percent of the total rough rice, medium grain accounted for 26 percent, and short grain varieties accounted for 1 percent. Milled rice stocks in all positions totaled 5.93 million cwt, down 3 percent from a year ago. Milled rice stocks were comprised of 3.93 million cwt of whole kernel rice and 2.00 million cwt of second heads, screenings, and brewers rice.

Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: The rice stocks estimates in this report are based on surveys conducted during the first two weeks of June. Separate surveys were conducted to obtain the on-farm and off-farm estimates. The on-farm stocks survey is a probability survey based on a sampling procedure that ensures all operations storing rice in the United States have a chance to be selected. These producers were asked to provide the total quantities of grain stored on their operations as of June 1, 2026 regardless of ownership. Off-farm stocks are a census of all known rice storage facilities. An effort is made to obtain reports from all off-farm facilities. Estimates are made for missing facilities to assure complete coverage. Estimating Procedures: On-farm and off-farm survey data are reviewed at the State and national levels for reasonableness, consistency with historical estimates, and current crop size. After estimates are made for on-farm and off-farm rice stocks, the total of these two are combined and evaluated using the balance sheet approach. This method utilizes other sources of data to check the reasonableness of the stocks estimates. Estimates of production, exports, and millings are reviewed to make sure beginning stocks, production, utilization, and ending stocks are within reasonable balance and present the best possible estimate of stocks. Revision Policy: On-farm and off-farm stocks are subject to revision in the quarter following initial publication and again in the following December 1 Rice Stocks report published in January each year. Revisions can be made when late reports are received, errors are detected in reporting and calculating, and when production estimates are revised. Estimates will also be reviewed after data from the 5-year Census of Agriculture are available. No revisions to these years will be made after that date. Reliability: Reliability of the on-farm and off-farm stocks must be treated separately because the survey designs for the two surveys are drastically different. The on-farm stocks estimates are subject to sampling variability because all operations holding on-farm stocks are not included in the sample. 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. Off-farm, as well as on-farm stocks, are subject to these types of errors. 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.
