October Weather Summary Much of October was quite warm, with temperatures averaging more than 5°F above normal in parts of northern New England, although dramatic, late-month changes led to cold air overspreading much of the country. Despite the sudden transition to colder conditions and freezes into the Deep South, there were relatively few agricultural impacts, as most summer crops were either fully mature or had already been harvested. For example, 85 percent of the Nation's soybeans had been harvested by October 29, along with 71 percent of the corn. Both harvest numbers were ahead of the respective 5-year averages of 78 and 66 percent. Parts of the central and northwestern United States received late-month snow, with mixed effects. In areas where the heaviest snow fell and the coldest weather occurred, mainly from Montana into North Dakota, there was a temporary increase in livestock stress. However, the snow-which also blanketed portions of the central High Plains and upper Midwest-provided moisture and insulation for emerging winter wheat. By October 29, nearly one-half (47 percent) of the Nation's winter wheat was rated in good to excellent condition, a significant improvement from last year's value of 28 percent-and wheat's best start to the autumn growing season since 2019. For most of the month, drier-than-normal weather dominated the southern half of the United States. In fact, negligible precipitation fell in numerous Southeastern communities that typically receive 3 to 4 inches of October rainfall. The list of places receiving October rainfall totaling less than 0.50 inch included many observation sites in Alabama (Birmingham, Huntsville, Muscle Shoals, and Tuscaloosa), Mississippi (Greenwood, Jackson, Tupelo, and Vicksburg), and Tennessee (Chattanooga and Crossville). By October 29, more than 60 percent of the rangeland and pastures were rated in very poor to poor condition in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, with freezes in early November burning back grass growth that had already been curtailed by drought. Late in the month, however, a tropically enhanced plume of moisture spreading northward in advance of a cold front led to a band of significant rainfall from Texas into portions of the Great Lakes States. The front entrained moisture associated with the terrain-shredded remnants of eastern Pacific Hurricanes Norma and Otis-both of which made landfall in Mexico. Earlier in the month, two other tropical cyclones-Tropical Storm Max and Hurricane Lidia-had also made landfall (on October 9 and 10, respectively) on the Pacific Coast of Mexico, with residual tropical moisture eventually reaching parts of the southern United States, from southern Texas to the southern Atlantic Coast. In part due to tropical activity in the Pacific Ocean and corresponding rainfall in the United States, drought coverage in the Lower 48 States decreased from 40.06 to 36.53 percent during the 4-week period ending October 31, according to the Drought Monitor. However, improving conditions in the North and from Texas into the Midwest were nearly offset by modest deterioration in the Southwest and rapidly worsening drought in the Southeast. At the end of October, extreme to exceptional drought (D3 to D4) covered nearly 88 percent of Louisiana and 77 percent of Mississippi. Additionally, D3 to D4 was noted across 41 percent of the landscape in Tennessee, along with 37 percent in New Mexico, 29 percent in Alabama, 24 percent in Iowa, and 11 percent in Nebraska and Texas. Despite October precipitation, lingering impacts of drought were apparent in rangeland and pasture conditions across parts of the central Plains, Midwest, and Northwest, with at least one-half rated in very poor to poor condition on October 29 in Washington (69 percent), Kansas (55 percent), Missouri (52 percent), Minnesota (52 percent), and Oregon (50 percent). Conversely, rangeland and pastures were rated at least one-half good to excellent on that date in several areas, including Florida (50 percent); seven states from Nevada to the northern Plains, led by Wyoming (72 percent); and nine states from the Ohio Valley into New England. October Agricultural Summary October was warmer than normal for most of the Nation. Parts of the Northeast recorded temperatures 6°F or more above normal for the month. In contrast, parts of the Northern Plains, Northern Rockies, and Southeast were moderately cooler than normal. While much of the Nation remained drier than normal for the month, parts of the upper Midwest, Great Plains, and Northern Rockies recorded at least twice the normal amount of precipitation. Parts of Texas recorded 10 inches of rain or more for the month.

Potatoes: Production of potatoes for the 2023 crop year is forecast at 434 million cwt, up 9 percent from last year. Planted acreage, at 964,000 acres, is up 2 percent from the June estimate and up 5 percent from last season. Area harvested, at 959,800 acres, is up 5 percent from the previous year. The yield forecast, at 452 cwt per acre, is up 14 cwt from last year's yield. Statistical Methodology Field crop survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between October 25 and November 6 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 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. Starting in 2019, NASS eliminated the August objective yield survey for cotton (except Texas), corn, and soybeans. The farm operator survey was conducted primarily by telephone with some use of mail, internet, and personal interviewers. Approximately 5,830 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about probable yield. Field crop 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 to 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 November 1 forecasts. 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, oats, 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 for 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. 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. 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 2.2 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 132 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.
