Crop Production ISSN: 1936-3737 Released November 10, 2026, by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS), Agricultural Statistics Board, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This report was approved on November 10, 2026. Corn production for grain is forecast at 15.9 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the previous forecast and down 6 percent from 2025. If realized, this would be the second highest grain production on record for the Nation. The average yield is forecast at 179.6 bushels per acre, down 1.6 bushels from the previous forecast and down 6.9 bushels from 2025. Soybean production for beans is forecast at a record high 4.57 billion bushels, up less than 1 percent from the previous forecast and up 7 percent from 2025. Yields are expected to average a record high 53.3 bushels per acre, up 0.2 bushel from the previous forecast and up 0.3 bushel from 2025. All cotton production is forecast at 13.2 million 480-pound bales, down 2 percent from the previous forecast and down 5 percent from 2025. The average yield is forecast at 775 pounds per harvested acre, down 15 pounds from the previous forecast and down 77 pounds from 2025. The current corn and soybean production forecasts are based on information collected before harvest was complete, so the final numbers may change as more information becomes available. Based on 20 years of actual results, there is a 90% chance that the final corn production will be between 15.5 billion bushels and 16.3 billion bushels, and the final soybean production will fall between 4.43 billion bushels and 4.71 billion bushels.

October Weather Summary Highlights: Weather impacts related to a strong El Niņo further amplified during October, as a swath of wetness covered most areas west of a line from central Texas to Lake Superior, excluding northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Ongoing tropical activity over the eastern Pacific Ocean contributed to the enhanced precipitation, as remnant moisture associated with former Hurricanes Rachel, Simon, Trudy, and Vance was drawn northeastward in advance of various weather systems crossing the western United States. In the Four Corners region, two late-month periods of locally excessive rainfall, little over a week apart, led to some of the worst flooding in decades. Record crests were set along several rivers during both events, with high water from late-month downpours persisting into early November. Although Western wetness largely suppressed late-season wildfire activity, nearly 9.5 million acres had burned during 2026, Nationally, by early November, well above the 10-year average of 6.5 million. In the upper Midwest, harvest activities were slowed by frequent rainfall events. Meanwhile, delayed crop maturation in the eastern Corn Belt kept the harvest pace behind average and also pushed back the start of winter wheat planting. By the first day of November, 26% of the Nation's corn and 12% of the soybeans remained in the field. On that date, the corn harvest was more than 10 percentage points behind the respective 5-year averages in Iowa (66 percent harvested), South Dakota (63 percent), and Michigan (43 percent). Meanwhile, more than 15 percent of the soybeans had not yet been harvested by November 1 in several Midwestern States, including Missouri (79 percent harvested), Michigan (81 percent), Ohio (83 percent), and Nebraska (84 percent). Many areas along and east of a line from the western Gulf Coast region to Lake Michigan experienced a mostly dry October, with notable exceptions. Ongoing warmth and dryness in the mid-South left topsoil moisture rated 95 percent very short to short by November 1 in Arkansas, according to USDA/NASS, along with 87 percent in Louisiana and 81 percent in Mississippi. In fact, values above 50 percent very short to short were observed throughout the South, extending as far north as Kentucky and Virginia, except in Florida. Agricultural impacts related to Southern dryness included poor pasture conditions, reduced surface water supplies, and delayed germination of fall-sown crops. On October 25, the final USDA/NASS pasture condition report of the season indicated that Arkansas led the Nation with 76 percent of its pastures rated very poor to poor. A week later, on November 1, Arkansas noted that only 23 percent of its winter wheat had emerged, compared to the 5-year average of 36 percent. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, drought covered 43.98 percent of the Lower 48 States on November 3, down from 59.38 percent on September 29-a decrease of 15.40 percentage points in 5 weeks. Despite the improvement, November 3 marked the 60th consecutive week with National drought coverage topping 40 percent, the longest such streak since there were 126 consecutive such weeks from September 2020 - February 2023. As November began, extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) covered 82 percent of Arkansas, along with 53 percent of Louisiana, 38 percent of Mississippi, and 29 percent of Tennessee. Late in the month, persistent onshore flow across Florida led to gusty winds, localized downpours, and flash flooding, especially along and near the Atlantic Coast. Elsewhere in the East, any rain largely fell during the first half of the month and included moisture associated with Isaias, the first Atlantic Basin hurricane of 2026. Hurricane Isaias made landfall late October 9 near Destin, Florida, with sustained winds near 105 mph. (Isaias was also the latest-ever initial Atlantic Basin hurricane of the season during the satellite era, supplanting the previous record by 26 days.) Significant wind damage related to Isaias was mostly limited to western Florida and environs, although heavy showers directly or indirectly associated with the former hurricane covered much of the Southeast. Once inland, Isaias rapidly weakened before dissipating over the central Appalachians on October 11. Elsewhere, generally drier-than-normal October weather prevailed in the lower Midwest, Northeast, Pacific Northwest, middle Atlantic coastal plain. In those regions, fieldwork advanced with few delays, although topsoil moisture in agricultural regions was rated more than 50 percent very short to short on November 1 in several States, including Oregon (73 percent), Washington (57 percent), and Maine (55 percent). A prominent October feature was overarching warmth, which led to monthly temperatures averaging at least 4 to 8°F above normal across large sections of the Plains, Midwest, and mid-South. The warmth continued a long stretch of warmer-than-normal weather across much of the Nation, as earlier this year the country had experienced its warmest March, July, August, and September on record. Near- or slightly below-normal October temperatures were confined to a few areas, including much of New England and parts of the Pacific Northwest. The mid-autumn warmth allowed most later-developing crops to reach maturity prior to a season-ending freeze; in fact, areas of the Midwest and mid-Atlantic that escaped a mid-October cool spell without a freeze experienced an extended growing season. Crop Comments Corn: The 2026 area harvested for grain is forecast at 88.5 million acres, unchanged from the previous estimate but down 3 percent from last year. Production for grain is forecast at 15.9 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the previous forecast and down 6 percent from last year. If realized, this would be the second highest production for grain on record for the United States. Based on conditions as of November 1, the yield is forecast at 179.6 bushels per acre, down 1.6 bushels from the previous forecast and down 6.9 bushels from last year's record high 186.5 bushels per acre. Record high yields are forecast in Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and Virginia. Ninety-five percent of the Nation's corn crop was mature by October 18, one percentage point behind the 5-year average. On October 25, fifty-six percent of the Nation's corn crop was rated in good to excellent condition. Seventy-four percent of the 2026 corn acreage had been harvested by November 1, three percentage points behind the 5-year average. Sorghum: Production is forecast at 274 million bushels, down 6 percent from the previous forecast and down 37 percent from last year. Based on November 1 conditions, yield is forecast at 52.4 bushels per acre, 3.3 bushels below the previous forecast and 20.2 bushels below the 2025 yield of 72.6 bushels per acre. By November 1, ninety-six percent of the Nation's sorghum acreage was mature, 4 percentage points behind the 5-year average. Sixty-four percent of the acreage had been harvested at that time, 14 percentage points behind the 5- year average. Rice: All rice production is forecast at 158 million cwt, down slightly from the previous forecast and down 24 percent from the previous year. Area for harvest is expected to total 2.06 million acres, unchanged from the previous estimate and down 25 percent from last year. Based on conditions as of November 1, the average United States yield is forecast at 7,664 pounds per acre, down 4 pounds per acre from the previous forecast but up 120 pounds per acre from 2025. As of October 18, ninety-seven percent of the Nation's rice acreage had been harvested, 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Soybeans: Production is forecast at a record 4.57 billion bushels, up less than 1 percent from the previous estimate and up 7 percent from last year. The forecasted yield, at a record 53.3 bushels per acre, is up 0.3 bushel from last year's final estimate. Acreage harvested for beans is forecast at 85.9 million acres, unchanged from the previous forecast but up 7 percent from last year. The November objective yield data for the 11 major soybean-producing States (Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota) indicate a lower pod count compared with the previous year. Compared with final counts for 2025, pod counts are down in 6 of the 11 published States. Kansas showed the greatest decrease, down 358 pods per 18 square feet from the previous year. As of November 1, eighty-eight percent of the United States soybean acreage was harvested, 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. At that time, harvest progress was at or ahead of the respective State 5-year average pace in 15 of the 18 States estimated in the Crop Progress report. If realized, the forecasted yield will be a record high in Arkansas, Delaware, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Peanuts: Production is forecast at 4.93 billion pounds in 2026, down 4 percent from the previous forecast and down 31 percent from last year. Area harvested is expected to total 1.36 million acres, unchanged from the previous forecast but down 28 percent from 2025. Based on conditions as of November 1, the average yield for the United States is forecast at 3,627 pounds per acre, down 139 pounds per acre from the previous forecast and down 119 pounds per acre from 2025. Cotton: All cotton production is forecast at 13.2 million 480-pound bales, down 2 percent from the previous forecast and down 5 percent from 2025. Based on conditions as of November 1, yields are expected to average 775 pounds per harvested acre, down 15 pounds from the previous forecast and down 77 pounds from 2025. Upland cotton production is forecast at 12.8 million 480-pound bales, down 2 percent from the previous forecast and down 5 percent from 2025. Pima cotton production is forecast at 381,000 bales, down 1 percent from the previous month and down 6 percent from 2025. If realized, the forecasted yield will be a record high in Arkansas On November 1, ninety-two percent of the Nation's cotton acreage had bolls opening, three percentage points behind the 5-year average. Sixty-three percent of the acreage had been harvested, 9 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. Ginnings totaled 3,701,850 running bales prior to November 1. Sugarbeets: Production of sugarbeets for the 2026 crop year is forecast at 30.1 million tons, down 3 percent from last month and down 14 percent from last year. Producers expect to harvest 1.01 million acres, unchanged from the previous estimate but down 5 percent from last year. Yield is forecast at 29.8 tons per acre, down 1.0 ton from the previous estimate and down 3.4 tons from last year. Sugarcane: Production for sugar and seed is estimated at 33.2 million tons, down 1 percent from last month and down 4 percent from 2025. Producers intend to harvest 944,000 acres for sugar and seed during the 2026 crop year, unchanged from the previous estimate but down slightly from last season. Yields for sugar and seed are estimated to average 35.2 tons per acre, down 0.1 ton from last month and down 1.2 tons from 2025. Record high production for sugarcane for sugar and seed is estimated in Louisiana. Potatoes: Production of potatoes for the 2026 crop year is forecast at 388 million cwt, down 7 percent from last year. Planted area, at 886,000 acres, is up 1 percent from the June estimate but down 2 percent from last season. Area harvested, at 880,900 acres, is up 2 percent from the previous forecast but down 2 percent from the previous year. Area planted and area harvested both represent the lowest acreage on record for the United States. Based on conditions as of November 1, the yield is forecast at 440 cwt per acre, down 22 cwt from last year's record high yield. Record high yields are forecast in Colorado. Statistical Methodology Field crop survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between October 24 and November 4 to gather information on expected yield as of November 1. The objective yield surveys for corn, cotton, and soybeans were conducted in the major producing States that usually account for about 75 percent of the United States production. Randomly selected plots were revisited to make current counts. The counts made within each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, plant counts are recorded along with other measurements that provide information to forecast the number of ears, bolls, or pods and their weight. The counts are used with similar data from previous years to develop a projected biological yield. The average harvesting loss is subtracted to obtain a net yield. The plots are visited starting in September and are revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit is harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss. The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interviewers. Approximately 6,300 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield. Field crop estimating procedures: The Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB) reviews multiple data sources at the National and State level, including USDA administrative acreage data, satellite imagery, and objective yield and grower reported data. All data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The data were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared with previous months and previous years. Revision policy: The November 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each month throughout the growing season. End-of-season estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the marketing season, a balance sheet is calculated using carryover stocks, production, exports, millings, feeding, and ending stocks. Revisions are then made if the balance sheet relationships or other administrative data warrant changes. Estimates of acres for barley, corn, cotton, dry edible beans, oats, peanuts, rice, sorghum, soybeans, sugarbeets, and 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, oats, rye, and wheat end-of-season estimates are published in the Small Grains Annual Summary 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 published in the Annual Crop Production Summary in January. Revisions to planted acres will only be made when either special survey data, administrative data, such as Farm Service Agency certified acreage data, or remote sensing data are available. Harvested acres may be revised any time a production forecast is made if there is sufficient data indicating that the intended harvested area has changed since the last forecast. Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the November 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the November 1 production forecast and the final estimate is expressed as a percentage of the final estimate. The average of the squared percentage deviations for the latest 20-year period is computed. The square root of the average becomes statistically the "Root Mean Square Error." Probability statements can be made concerning expected differences in the current forecast relative to the final end-of-season estimate, assuming that factors affecting this year's forecast are not different from those influencing recent years. For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the November 1 corn for grain production forecast is 1.3 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current production forecast will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.3 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 2.3 percent. Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the November 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the November 1 forecast and the final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 144 million bushels, ranging from 4 million bushels to 420 million bushels. The November 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 7 times and above 13 times. This does not imply that the November 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
