July Weather Summary A sudden Southeastern pattern change delivered cooler, wetter weather late in the month, following a scorching hot spell that halted pasture growth and severely stressed earlier-planted summer crops, such as corn. By July 14, more than 40 percent of the pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition in West Virginia and each Atlantic Coast State from Georgia to Maryland. In North Carolina, corn rated very poor to poor peaked at 73 percent on July 7 and 14, before slightly recovering. Farther north, however, much of the Midwest received plenty of rain during a critical month for crops, despite a late-July drying trend. In fact, parts of the upper Midwest remained too wet, following the previous month's flooding. Perhaps more importantly, Midwestern temperatures stayed below stressful levels for corn and soybeans, allowing crops to generally flourish. By July 21, more than two-thirds of both corn (67 percent) and soybeans (68 percent) were rated in good to excellent condition-the best ratings for this time of year since 2020. In the South, condition ratings for rice (83 percent good to excellent on June 16 and 23, along with July 21 and 28) were the best of the 21st century. Elsewhere, beneficial, late-July rainfall and cooler conditions in the Southeast allowed the Nation's peanut crop to rebound from 53 to 68 percent good to excellent between June 30 and July 28. Meanwhile, Beryl spent about 10 days prowling the Atlantic Basin, becoming the earliest-ever Category 5 hurricane (previously, Emily on July 16, 2005). Beryl attained Category 5 status late July 1 and reached peak intensity, with sustained winds near 165 mph, on July 2. Six days later-after making landfall near Tulum, Mexico (early July 5, with sustained winds near 110 mph)-Beryl arrived near Matagorda, Texas, as a Category 1 hurricane, with sustained winds only near 80 mph. However, Beryl was responsible for flash flooding and coastal flooding, along with a loss of electricity for more than 2.7 million customers in eastern Texas due to widespread wind gusts of 80 to 90 mph. For some, power outages persisted for a week or more, complicating recovery efforts during a post-storm spell of hot, humid weather. The remnants of Beryl curved northeastward, delivering a narrow band of briefly heavy but mostly beneficial rain across the mid-South and lower Midwest. Tropical rainfall and showers associated with several cold fronts largely bypassed the central Appalachians and neighboring areas in the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic. By July 28, topsoil moisture was rated 94 percent very short to short in West Virginia, along with 62 percent in Ohio and Maryland, and 49 percent in Virginia. Meanwhile, a drying trend across much of the Plains and Rockies left topsoil moisture rated more than one-third very short to short by July 28, except in the Dakotas, led by Wyoming (79 percent), New Mexico (69 percent), Colorado (68 percent), Montana (59 percent), and Texas (51 percent). Among reporting states, Colorado led the Nation on that date with 33 percent of its sorghum rated in very poor to poor condition, while Texas led with 31 percent of its cotton rated very poor to poor. Additionally, 39 percent of the rangeland and pastures in Texas were rated very poor to poor on July 28, with only seven states reporting higher values: West Virginia (65 percent), Virginia (64 percent), Washington (59 percent), Wyoming (57 percent), New Mexico (50 percent), Oregon (49 percent), and Maryland (43 percent). The first half of the month featured a record-setting Western heat wave that helped to dry out the landscape and led to heavy irrigation demands and declining pasture conditions. Following two wet Western winters and last year's limited wildfire activity (only 2.7 million acres of vegetation burned, nationally, in 2023), an abundance of fine fuels-including brush and grass-were cured by this summer's heat. Additionally, many Western forests remain ripe for wildfire activity due to chronically hot, dry conditions during the 21st century that have left millions of dead or dying trees. During July, dozens of large wildfires, sparked by lightning strikes or human activity, flared across the West, resulting in reduced air quality and threats to several communities. By month's end, year-to-date wildfires had nationally burned nearly 4.5 million acres, above the 10-year average of 3.6 million acres but well below the annual record of 10.1 million acres, set in 2015 and nearly tied in 2017 and 2020. July's largest blaze, the 402,000-acre, arson-induced Park Fire near Chico, California, destroyed more than 600 structures and became the state's fourth-largest modern fire on record within a week of its July 24 start. Oregon was also hit hard, with five individual wildfires consuming more than 100,000 acres of vegetation during July. Drought coverage in the Lower 48 States was nearly steady during July, ranging from 19 to 21 percent, according to the Drought Monitor. Nevertheless, those numbers marked a substantial increase from the 2024 drought coverage minimum of 11.77 percent, which occurred on June 11. In addition, there was considerable regional variability, with drought improvement noted between July 2 and 30 in the Southeast, along with the southern Corn Belt and southern sections of the Rockies and High Plains. In contrast, developing or worsening drought conditions were observed during July across portions of the central Plains, as well as an area stretching from the middle Ohio Valley into the mid-Atlantic. Worsening conditions were also observed in parts of the Northwest, extending as far east as the northern High Plains. July Agricultural Summary July was warmer than normal for the eastern and western thirds of the Nation. Parts of the Pacific Northwest and Southwest recorded temperatures 6°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, much of the Midwest, Mississippi Valley, and Great Plains, as well as parts of the Rockies, were moderately cooler than normal. Much of the mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley, and West remained drier than normal for the month. In contrast, large parts of Texas, as well as parts of the Great Basin, Great Lakes, Mississippi Valley, New England, and Southeast, recorded at least twice the normal amount of precipitation. Parts of the Texas Gulf Coast recorded 18 inches or more of rain for the month. By July 7, twenty-four percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, 6 percentage points ahead of last year and 10 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 7, three percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 1 percentage point ahead of both last year and the 5-year average. By July 21, sixty-one percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, 1 percentage point behind last year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 21, seventeen percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 4 percentage points ahead of last year and 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 4, eighty-eight percent of the Nation's corn acreage had reached the silking stage, 2 percentage points behind last year but equal to the 5-year average. By August 4, forty-six percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the dough stage, 4 percentage points ahead of last year and 8 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 4, seven percent of this year's corn acreage was denting, equal to last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. On August 4, sixty-seven percent of the Nation's corn acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, 10 percentage points above the same time last year. In Iowa, the largest corn producing State, 77 percent of the corn crop was rated in good to excellent condition on August 4. By July 7, thirty-four percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming stage, 1 percentage point behind last year but 6 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 7, nine percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had begun setting pods, 1 percentage point ahead of last year and 4 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 21, sixty-five percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming stage, 1 percentage point behind last year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By July 21, twenty-nine percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had begun setting pods, 2 percentage points behind last year but 5 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 4, eighty-six percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had reached the blooming stage, 2 percentage points behind last year but 2 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. By August 4, fifty-nine percent of the Nation's soybean acreage had begun setting pods, 2 percentage points behind last year but 3 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average. On August 4, sixty-eight percent of the Nation's soybean acreage was rated in good to excellent condition, 14 percentage points above the same time last year. Sixty-three percent of the 2024 winter wheat acreage had been harvested by July 7, twenty percentage points ahead of last year and 11 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

However, the relatively stable temperatures from the mild summer season and lack of rainfall have been favorable for the cranberry plants. In Wisconsin, the growing season was challenging due to the cold and wet spring, followed by frost and hailstorms. Some growers experienced winter damage but completed planting. Warmer temperatures accelerated pollinator activity and plant blooming. Overall, the cranberry crop is growing and producing well. Grapes: United States grape production for 2024 is forecast at 6.37 million tons, up 3 percent from last season, in comparable States. In California, the largest producing State, wine type grape production is forecast at 3.60 million tons, down 2 percent from last season, and represents 62 percent of California's total grape production. California's table grape production is forecast at 1.15 million tons, up 22 percent from last season, and represents 20 percent of California's total grape production. California raisin type grape production is forecast at 1.05 million tons, up 12 percent from last season, and represents the remaining18 percent of California's total grape crop. Grapes went into bloom fully hydrated due to a cool and wet winter. Crop development was more typical in 2024 compared to the late 2023 crop. Triple digit temperatures during July impacted grape development in the San Joaquin Valley and Coastal vineyards. Beginning in 2024, grape estimates were added for New York and Oregon. Peaches: United States peach total production for the 2024 season is forecast at 719,000 tons, up 22 percent from 2023. In California, the largest growing State, production is forecast at 530,000 tons, up 4 percent from the previous forecast and up 10 percent from 2023. California Freestone production is forecast at 300,000 tons, up 7 percent from the previous forecast and up 16 percent from 2023. California Clingstone production is forecast at 230,000 tons, unchanged from the previous forecast and up 4 percent from 2023. Full bloom occurred on March 12, two days earlier than last year. Recorded chilling hours were the second lowest in the last fifty years. Lack of rain during the winter months resulted in below average precipitation totals at the beginning of February 2024. Several storms during February and March have boosted the Sierra Nevada snowpack and significantly added to reservoirs bringing California to normal conditions. While California experienced heavy rain and hail at times during the spring months, there was minimal damage reported to the stone fruit crops. Early in the season growing conditions were generally good, however an extremely hot July has growers concerned about fruit size. Harvest of peaches is ongoing. South Carolina production is forecast at 105,000 tons, up 171 percent from last year. Peaches thrived throughout the season with ample chill hours, a mild spring, no freezes and a hot, dry summer. Operators are reporting a full crop with high yields. Harvest is expected be complete by late August/early September. Georgia production is forecast at 37,000 tons, up 651 percent from last year. Ample chill hours, mild and wet spring, no freezes, and a hot dry summer made for an abundant peach crop and above average season. Peach harvest should be complete by mid-August. Pears: United States pear total production for 2024 is forecast at 520,000 tons, down 22 percent from last year. In Washington, the largest producing State, the pear crop was significantly impacted by cold weather in mid-January. Temperatures as low as -11 degrees in some areas damaged the buds and trees. The damage varied by region, however, the Walla Walla Valley and Lake Chelan areas were reported to have been hit the hardest. There were also reports of another freeze during blooming stage in the spring. As a result, the crop is forecast to have the lowest production, dating back to 2007. In Oregon, cold, wet weather also impacted the crop. Production is expected to be the lowest since 2010. In California, harvest began in mid- July. Overall, the crop has good size, quality and flavor, however, during the blooming period, the crop was negatively impacted by late rains. Production is expected to be the second lowest since 2007. Statistical Methodology Survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between July 25 and August 6 to gather information on expected yields as of August 1. The objective yield survey for winter wheat was conducted in 10 States that account for 64 percent of the 2023 winter wheat production. Farm operators selected for the objective yield survey were interviewed to update previously reported acreage data and seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected fields for the objective yield survey. The counts made within each sample plot depend on the crop and the maturity of that crop. In all cases, the number of plants is recorded along with other measurements that provide information to forecast the number heads 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 revisited each month until crop maturity when the fruit are harvested and weighed. After the farm operator has harvested the sample field, another plot is sampled to obtain current year harvesting loss. The objective yield survey will be conducted for corn and soybeans beginning in September. The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interviews. Approximately 14,200 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of average yields. Estimating procedures: National and State level objective yield and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and consistency with historical estimates. The survey data were also reviewed considering weather patterns and crop progress compared with previous months and previous years. Each Regional Field Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the survey data and the State analyses to prepare the published August 1 forecasts. Revision policy: The August 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, imports, 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 August 1 production forecast, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the August 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 August 1 corn for grain production forecast is 4.1 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 4.1 percent. Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 7.1 percent. Also, shown in the following table is a 20-year record for selected crops of the differences between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate. Using corn again as an example, changes between the August 1 forecast and the final estimate during the last 20 years have averaged 401 million bushels, ranging from 5 million bushels to 1.19 billion bushels. The August 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 8 times and above 12 times. This does not imply that the August 1 corn forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
