Biotechnology Varieties The National Agricultural Statistics Service conducts the June Agricultural Survey in all States each year. Randomly selected farmers across the United States 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 States published individually in the following tables represent 86 percent of all corn planted acres, 89 percent of all soybean planted acres, and 90 percent of all Upland cotton planted acres.

Spring Weather Summary Highlights: Despite an overall balmy spring regime, which included the Nation's warmest March on record, episodic cold events caused extensive harm in several agricultural sectors. Notably, April cold snaps resulted in damage to winter wheat on the central High Plains and devastated many specialty crops, including wine grapes and other blooming fruits, in portions of the middle Atlantic and Great Lakes States. Other spring highlights included drought coverage across the Lower 48 States topping 60 percent for the first time since 2022; an active start to the severe weather season, with a combined total of more than 500 tornadoes in March and April-and nearly 700 for the entire 3-month period; and numerous wildfires, especially on the Plains in March and across the Southeast in April. Regarding drought, coverage exceeded 60 percent during an 8-week period April 7 to May 26. Previously, in the 27-year history of the U.S. Drought Monitor, drought coverage greater than 60 percent had occurred only thirty times-25 weeks in 2012-13 and 5 weeks in 2022. This spring's drought coverage peaked at 62.78 percent on April 21, the greatest at any time of year since November 1, 2022. Although spring flooding was limited to a few areas, consequential high water affected portions of the Great Lakes States, especially during April. Spring fieldwork was broadly delayed in the Great Lakes region, while impoundments such as Michigan's Cheboygan Lock and Dam Complex were severely strained by flooding that peaked in mid-April. Outside the Midwest, spring flooding was infrequent and mostly limited to flashy events, following isolated downpours. Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Centers for Environmental Information, the contiguous United States overall experienced a very warm and often dry spring, with a March-May average temperature of 55.79 degrees F and an average precipitation total of 7.43 inches. Mean values from 1901-2000 are 50.91 degrees F and 7.93 inches, respectively. The only higher spring average temperature, 56.17 degrees F, occurred in 2012. Falling to third place were 1910 and 2025, tied at 54.07 degrees F. Meanwhile, it was the Nation's 37th-driest spring on record- and the driest since March-May 2006, when precipitation averaged 7.14 inches. State temperatures rankings were uniformly in the "warm" half of the March-May distribution. North Dakota, with its 40th-warmest spring, was the "coolest" State. In fact, it was the warmest spring on record in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas, and among the ten warmest elsewhere, except in the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, and five of the six States in New England. Meanwhile, State precipitation rankings ranged from the third-driest spring in Delaware and North Carolina to the wettest spring on record in Michigan. Top-ten rankings for spring dryness were also noted in Maryland and Virginia, while top-ten rankings for spring wetness were observed in Indiana, Ohio, and Wisconsin. March: Historic and unprecedented warmth gripped the western and central United States for much of March, prematurely melting Western mountain snowpack and contributing to conditions conducive to spring wildfires on the Plains. By the start of April, mountain snowpack had been completely eliminated, or nearly so, in many Southwestern watersheds, portending a summer of sharply reduced streamflow and surface-water reserves. Very warm, mostly dry weather, particularly across the Nation's southwestern quadrant, also reduced topsoil moisture availability for rangeland, pastures, and winter wheat. Monthly average temperature records were broken by more than 5 degrees F in some Southwestern locations. Record-shattering March warmth extended as far north as the northern Intermountain West and as far east as the High Plains. In fact, monthly temperatures averaged at least 6 to 12 degrees F above normal along and south of a line from northwestern California to southern Montana, then extending southeastward into the central Appalachians, excluding areas along and near the Gulf Coast. Near- or slightly below-normal March temperatures were restricted to portions of the Nation's Northern Tier. During the first 3 months of 2026, wildfires scorched more than 1.6 million acres of vegetation. The largest blaze of the month (and the year to date) was the Morrill Fire, which was ignited on March 12 and quickly charred more than 642,000 acres of cured vegetation north and northwest of Lake McConaughy in Nebraska, becoming the largest wildfire in modern State history. Elsewhere in Nebraska, other incidents that began around the same time included the 129,000-acre Cottonwood Fire, southeast of North Platte, and the 36,000-acre Road 203 Fire, mostly in the Nebraska National Forest. About 2 weeks later, on March 26, additional wildfires flared across the western half of Nebraska. Conversely, wetter-than-normal March weather affected much of the Midwest, extending across portions of the northern Plains and Northeast. Although much of the Corn Belt benefited from a boost in soil moisture in advance of spring planting, flooding developed early in the month across southern Indiana, especially along the White River and its tributaries. Additionally, a mid-month storm system from the upper Midwest into the upper Great Lakes region increased livestock stress-especially for animals progressing through lambing and calving-amid heavy snow, high winds, and falling temperatures. On March 15-16, as much as 24 to 36 inches of snow blanketed northern sections of Wisconsin and Michigan. Toward the end of March, Midwestern winter wheat was mostly faring well, with the portion of the crop rated in good to excellent condition ranging from 53 percent in Missouri to 69 percent in Michigan. Conversely, at least one-half of the winter wheat was rated very poor to poor on March 29 in Nebraska (51 percent) and Colorado (50 percent). Serious topsoil moisture shortages existed across large sections of the Plains and Rockies, led by New Mexico (100 percent very short to short), Colorado (96 percent), and Nebraska (93 percent). Due to March warmth, fast-developing wheat as far north as the central Plains needed moisture for sustenance, with 23 percent of the crop already jointed by March 29 in Kansas, along with 8 percent in Colorado. There were several March outbreaks of severe weather, mainly along and east of a line from western Texas to Lake Michigan, resulting in more than 200 tornadoes, based on preliminary reports from the National Weather Service. The Nation's first tornado-related fatalities of the year occurred on March 5 and 6, with four deaths apiece in Michigan and Oklahoma. Three additional tornado-related fatalities occurred on March 10 from a supercell storm that traveled from Illinois into Indiana-part of the same system that produced monstrous hail, up to 6 inches in diameter, near Kankakee, Illinois. Soon after, high winds-unrelated to thunderstorm activity-raked the northern Plains, with peak gusts on March 12 broadly ranging from 70 to 90 mph or higher. April: Above-normal temperatures again dominated much of the country, with many locations from the mid-South and lower Midwest to the central Appalachians weathering a record-warm April, as well as temperatures averaging more than 5 degrees F above normal. However, chilly weather lurked for much of April across the Nation's Northern Tier, with several southward forays of cold air across areas east of the Rockies. Consequently, a variety of crops-including winter wheat and blooming fruits-experiencing varying degrees of freeze damage, extending at least as far south as the central High Plains and the middle Atlantic States. Some of the most significant freezes related to winter wheat struck the central High Plains during the weekend of April 18-19, followed by fruit-damaging frost in the mid-Atlantic on April 20-21. Any freeze-related damage to winter wheat compounded the effects of punishing drought. By May 3, more than one-third (37 percent) of the Nation's winter wheat crop was rated in very poor to poor condition, more than twice last year's early-May value of 18 percent. States exceeding the National value of 37 percent very poor to poor included Nebraska (67 percent), Texas (56 percent), Oklahoma (49 percent), Colorado (45 percent), and Kansas (44 percent). Expansive drought also adversely affected many grazing lands and hay production areas. However, the Midwest was largely free of drought, with some watersheds in Michigan and Wisconsin experiencing record flooding in mid-April. Even with late-month drying, Statewide topsoil moisture by May 3 was rated 42 percent surplus in Wisconsin, along with 32 percent in Michigan. Some of the most consequential flooding struck the Manistee and Muskegon Rivers in Michigan, and the Wolf and Menominee Rivers in Wisconsin. Ongoing Southeastern drought contributed to a rash of April wildfires. Notably, two southern Georgia wildfires-the Pineland Road and Highway 82 Fires-collectively scorched more than 55,000 acres of vegetation. The Pineland Road Fire destroyed nearly three dozen structures, while the Highway 82 fire became the most destructive in modern Georgia history, with well over 100 homes destroyed. During the first 4 months of the year, wildfires burned approximately 1.9 million acres of vegetation across the Nation, nearly twice the 10-year average. Reports of severe weather-tornadoes, high winds, and large hail-generally peaked from April 13-17 and April 23-28. According to preliminary information, there were more than 300 April tornadoes, along with nearly 1,300 reports of hail at least an inch in diameter and more than 1,600 reports of thunderstorm-related high winds or wind damage. The bulk of the severe weather occurred along and east of a line from central Texas to southern Minnesota, consistent with April rainfall largely bypassing the central and southern High Plains. Besides drought and freezes, many of the April's agricultural highlights featured a rapid planting pace for a variety of summer crops. However, mid- to late-month storminess-and periods of cooler weather-slowed an initially torrid planting pace in several areas, including the South and lower Midwest. In the West, modestly cooler and somewhat wetter weather- compared to March-helped to temporarily stabilize drought conditions. May: A pattern change finally led to meaningful precipitation and drought relief across portions of the Plains and South, although rain largely arrived too late to benefit winter wheat. On May 31, nearly one-half (44 percent) of the Nation's winter wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition. Values greater than the National average were noted throughout the central and southern Plains, led by Nebraska (70 percent very poor to poor), Colorado (67 percent), Texas (64 percent), Kansas (55 percent), and Oklahoma (53 percent). Additionally, rangeland and pastures were slow to start recovering due to deeply entrenched drought, particularly on the Plains. At month's end, 42 percent of the Nation's rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition, highest at this time of year since May 29, 2022, when the value was 46 percent. On May 31, 2026, Nebraska led the Nation with 80 percent of its rangeland and pastures rated very poor to poor, while Statewide values ranging from 50 to 75 percent very poor to poor were observed in Arizona, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. During May, topsoil moisture-as reported by USDA/NASS-began to reflect changes due to regionally significant rainfall. Nationally, topsoil moisture was rated 36 percent very short to short on May 31, an improvement from 44 percent just 2 weeks earlier. Still, Statewide values were greater than 40 percent very short to short at the end of May in all States comprising the Plains and Rockies, except North Dakota. Colorado's topsoil moisture rated 91 percent very short to short led the Nation, while values above 70 percent were observed on May 31 in Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Despite May's overall increase in precipitation, some areas remained dry or experienced developing dryness. For example, drier-than-normal May conditions dominated the upper Midwest and Intermountain West. In the latter region, warmth and dryness boosted irrigation demands, heightening water-supply concerns in watersheds lacking groundwater reserves and ample reservoir storage. Farther east, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, experienced its driest May on record (0.36 inch), edging its 1885 standard of 0.41 inch. With 0.52 inch, Rockford, Illinois, narrowly avoided its driest May (0.48 inch), which occurred in 1992. Broadly below-average May rainfall was noted in the upper Mississippi Valley and the upper Great Lakes region, extending as far south as northern sections of Illinois and Indiana. Despite the short-term dryness in the upper Midwest, approximately two-thirds of the Nation's corn (67 percent) and soybeans (66 percent) were rated in good to excellent condition on May 31. Across the Lower 48 States, drought coverage exceeded 60 percent each week from April 7 to May 26, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. By June 2, National drought coverage dropped to 58.38 percent, down 4.40 percentage points from the April 21 peak of 62.78 percent. Coverage of extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) also decreased, from a May 19 peak of 20.19 percent to a June 2 value of 14.55 percent-a drop of 5.64 percentage points. Still, D3 to D4 affected parts of 25 States on June 2, with coverage topping 50 percent in Utah, Nebraska, and Florida. May temperatures were significantly (as much as 2 to 4 degrees F) above normal across Florida's peninsula and in most areas from the Pacific Coast to the northern and central High Plains. In fact, it was the hottest May on record in Florida locations such as Key West, Lakeland, Melbourne, and Vero Beach. Conversely, cooler-than-normal conditions (temperatures more than 2 degrees F below normal) covered the Great Lakes and Northeastern States. During May, several frost events-extending as far south as the Ohio Valley and central Appalachians-locally aggravated the impacts of damaging April freezes that had caused extensive damage to specialty crops, including blooming fruits. With increased precipitation, wildfire activity generally lessened during May. Nevertheless, nearly 2.5 million acres of vegetation burned across the country during the first 5 months of 2026, nearly twice the 10-year average. Two large wildfires in southwestern Kansas-the Meade Lake Complex (about 92,000 acres) and the Herman Ranch Complex (more than 36,000 acres)- collectively scorched nearly 128,000 acres of land before being declared fully contained on May 22. Meanwhile, severe thunderstorm activity diminished during May, compared to the previous month, despite frequent showers. Based on preliminary reports, fewer than 170 May tornadoes occurred, down from more than 300 twisters in April. Most of the tornadic activity stretched from western Texas into the upper Midwest, with a secondary area in the central Gulf Coast region. The most concentrated period of severe weather occurred from May 13-18. Some of the highest monthly rainfall totals, locally 10 to 20 inches or more, coincided with the active weather along and near the Gulf Coast. Crop Comments Corn: The 2026 corn planted area for all purposes is estimated at 95.3 million acres, down 3 percent from last year. This represents the fourth highest planted acreage in the United States since 1944. Growers expect to harvest 87.4 million acres for grain, down 4 percent from last year. Record low planted acres are estimated in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. Record high planted acres are estimated in Nevada and Washington. Farmers responding to the survey indicated that 1.90 million acres of the estimated corn acreage remained to be planted at the time of the interview. By April 5, producers had planted 3 percent of this year's corn crop, 1 percentage point ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. By April 19, producers had planted 11 percent of the Nation's corn crop, equal to last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Four percent of the Nation's corn acreage had emerged by April 19, two percentage points ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. By April 26, producers had planted 25 percent of the Nation's corn crop, 3 percentage points ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Seven percent of the Nation's corn acreage had emerged by April 26, two percentage points ahead of last year and 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 3, producers had planted 38 percent of the Nation's corn crop, equal to last year but 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Thirteen percent of the Nation's corn acreage had emerged by May 3, three percentage points ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 17, producers had planted 76 percent of the Nation's corn crop, equal to last year but 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Thirty-nine percent of the corn acreage had emerged by May 17, eight percentage points behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By May 31, producers had planted 93 percent of the Nation's corn crop, 1 percentage point ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Seventy-six percent of the corn acreage had emerged by May 31, equal to last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. On May 31, sixty-seven percent of the corn was rated in good to excellent condition. By June 7, producers had planted 97 percent of the Nation's corn crop, 1 percentage point ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. Eighty-six percent of the corn acreage had emerged by June 7, equal to both last year and the 5-year average. On June 7, sixty-seven percent of the corn crop was rated in good to excellent condition. Ninety-two percent of this year's corn acreage was planted with biotechnology seed varieties, down 2 percent from last year. Biotechnology seed includes traits for insect resistance (Bt), herbicide resistance, or stacked gene which contains traits for both herbicide and insect resistance. Sorghum: Growers intend to plant 6.28 million acres of sorghum for all purposes in 2026, down 5 percent from last year. Kansas, the leading sorghum- producing State, is expecting 10 percent less sorghum acres in 2026 than last year. Texas growers are expecting to plant 7 percent less sorghum acres than last year. Growers expect to harvest 5.49 million acres for grain, down 9 percent from last year. Oats: Area seeded to oats for the 2026 crop is estimated at 2.42 million acres up 2 percent from 2025. Planted acreage is up or unchanged in 13 of the 19 major producing States compared to last year. Harvested area, forecast at 877,000 acres, is down 7 percent from 2025. Record low planted acreage is estimated in Maine, Michigan, and Oregon. Barley: Producers seeded 2.43 million acres of barley for the 2026 crop year, up 6 percent from the previous year. In Montana, the largest barley State in terms of planted area, acreage is expected to increase by 10 percent from last year. Producers expect to plant record low acreage in Colorado, Utah, Washington, and Wisconsin. Harvested area, forecast at 1.87 million acres, is up 6 percent from 2025. Winter wheat: The 2026 winter wheat planted area is estimated at 31.5 million acres, down 3 percent from the previous estimate and down 5 percent from last year. Of the total planted acreage, approximately 22.4 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 5.54 million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.55 million acres are White Winter. The only States expecting increased acreage from 2025 are Idaho, New Mexico and Utah. Producers in California, Nebraska, and Virginia expect to have record low planted areas. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 21.2 million acres, down 4 percent from the previous forecast and down 17 percent from last year. If realized, this would be a record low harvested area. Producers in Indiana, Nebraska, and Virginia are expecting record low harvested areas. Nationally, 40 percent of the winter wheat crop was harvested by June 21, twenty-two percentage points ahead of 2025 and 16 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average pace. As of June 21, twenty-six percent of the winter wheat acreage in the 18 major producing States was rated in good to excellent condition, 23 percentage points lower than at the same time last year. Durum wheat: Area seeded to Durum wheat for 2026 is estimated at 1.83 million acres, down 16 percent from 2025. Area harvested for grain is forecast at 1.78 million acres, down 16 percent from 2025. Other spring wheat: Growers planted 9.39 million acres of other spring wheat, down 6 percent from 2025. This estimate is the lowest other spring wheat planted acreage since 1970. Producers in South Dakota expect to have record low planted area. Of this total, about 8.75 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. Planted area in North Dakota, the largest spring wheat-producing State, is estimated at 4.50 million acres, down 12 percent from last year. As of June 21, sixteen percent of the Nation's spring wheat acreage was headed, 1 percentage point ahead of last year but equal to the 5-year average. Harvested area is estimated to total 9.08 million acres, down 6 percent from last year. As of June 21, fifty-four percent of the acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, equal to the same time last year. Rye: The 2026 planted area for rye is estimated at 2.38 million acres, up 7 percent from 2025, and is the highest since 1987. The planted area in Wisconsin is estimated to be the highest rye acreage since 1939. In Oklahoma, the estimated planted area is down 17 percent from 2025, the lowest since 1997. Harvested area is forecast at 312,000 acres, down 9 percent from last year. Producers expect to harvest 13 percent of the planted acres for grain. In Oklahoma, 76 percent of the rye acreage was harvested by June 21, thirty-eight percentage points ahead of last year and twenty-one percentage points ahead of the 5-year average pace.

Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: The estimates of planted and harvested acreages in this report are based primarily on surveys conducted during the first 2 weeks of June. The June Agricultural Survey is a probability survey that includes a sample of approximately 90,300 farm operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to be selected. Data from operators was collected by mail, internet, or telephone to obtain information on planted and harvested acreage for the 2026 crop year. Estimating procedures: National, Regional, State, and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. Each Regional Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). Survey data are compiled to the National level and are reviewed at this level independently of each Regional Office's review. Acreage estimates were based on survey data and the historical relationship of official estimates to survey data. Revision policy: Estimates of acres for barley, corn, cotton, dry edible beans, oats, peanuts, rice, sorghum, soybeans, sugarbeets, Durum wheat, other spring wheat, and winter 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 to 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. Following the marketing year, revisions are made if the balance sheet or other administrative data warrant changes. 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. Estimates will also be reviewed following the 5-year Census of Agriculture. No revisions will be made after that date. Reliability: The survey used to make acreage estimates is subject to sampling and non-sampling type errors that are common to all surveys. Both types of errors for major crops generally are between 1.0 and 6.0 percent. Sampling errors represent the variability between estimates that would result if many different samples were surveyed at the same time. The relative standard errors from the 2026 June Agricultural Survey for United States planted acres were: barley 4.9 percent, corn 1.3 percent, Upland cotton 4.0 percent, sorghum 4.2 percent, soybeans 1.4 percent, other spring wheat 4.3 percent, and winter wheat 1.9 percent. The biotechnology estimates are also subject to sampling variability because all operations planting biotech varieties are not included in the sample. The variability for the 48 corn States, as measured by the relative standard error at the United States level, is approximately 0.3 percent for all biotech varieties, 6.2 percent for insect resistant (Bt) only varieties, 5.1 percent for herbicide resistant only varieties, and 0.6 percent for stacked gene varieties. This means that chances are approximately 95 out of 100 that survey estimates will be within plus or minus 0.6 percent for all biotech varieties, 12.4 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 10.2 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.2 percent for stacked gene varieties. Variability for the 29 soybean States is approximately 0.3 percent for herbicide resistant varieties. Variability for the 17 Upland cotton States is approximately 0.7 percent for all biotech varieties, 15.2 percent for insect resistant (Bt) varieties, 9.7 percent for herbicide resistant varieties, and 1.4 percent for stacked gene varieties. Non-sampling errors cannot be measured directly. They may occur due to incorrect reporting and/or recording, data omissions or duplications, and errors in processing. To minimize non-sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are used in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness. A method of evaluating the reliability of acreage estimates in this report is the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performances shown below for selected crops. This is computed by expressing the deviations between the planted acreage estimates and the final estimates as a percent of the final estimates and averaging the squared percentage deviations for the 2006-2025 twenty-year period; the square root of this average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current estimates relative to the final estimates assuming that factors affecting this year's estimate are not different from those influencing the past 20 years. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the corn planted estimate is 1.4 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current corn acreage will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.4 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 2.5 percent. Also, shown in the table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the difference between the mid-year planted acres estimate and the final estimates. Using corn again as an example, changes between the mid-year estimates and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 1.45 million acres, ranging from 144,000 acres to 3.59 million acres. The mid-year planted acres have been below the final estimate 6 times and above 14 times. This does not imply that the mid-year planted estimate this year is likely to understate or overstate the final estimate.
