USDA NASS: County Level Wheat Estimates Now Available

County-level estimates for 2017 small grain acreage, yield and production are now available, according to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service. The estimates, based primarily on surveys conducted with farmers and ranchers last fall, can be accessed using
the Quick Stats online database at http://www.nass.usda.gov/Quick_Stats/.
 
County-level small grain estimates are not published if any of the following conditions exist:
  • Estimated planted acres are less than 500.
  • Insufficient number of producer reports were received to establish statistically defensible estimates.
  • Estimate would not guarantee confidentiality of reported data from an individual producer.

The commodity estimates released today include winter wheat and oats. County-level estimates for late season crops and hay will be published in February and April 2018, respectively.
