May Weather Summary

Merciless rains pounded the Plains and Midwest, triggering new rounds of flooding and leading to a record-slow planting

pace for the Nation’s corn and soybeans. By June 2, only 67 percent of the corn and 39 percent of the soybeans had been

planted, breaking the 1995 records of 77 and 40 percent, respectively. Late in the month, record flooding developed in the

Arkansas River Basin, while rivers in parts of the middle Mississippi Valley surged to their second-highest levels on

record, behind 1993.

The incessantly wet conditions across the Plains and the Midwest were accompanied by below-normal temperatures,

leading to developmental delays and quality concerns with respect to winter wheat. Furthermore, late-planted summer

crops were slow to emerge and become established amid the cool, rainy conditions.

Unseasonably wet weather extended into parts of the West, including California and the Great Basin. From California into

the Four Corners States, cooler-than-normal conditions accompanied the frequent showers, slowing fieldwork and crop

development. In contrast, warmer- and drier-than-normal weather stretched from the Pacific Northwest to the

northernmost Rockies, resulting in some drought expansion.

Meanwhile, hot, dry weather developed in the Southeast, particularly in the southern Atlantic States, leading to significant

reductions in soil moisture and increasing stress on summer crops, such as corn. A late-month Southeastern hot spell

boosted temperatures to 100°F or higher in many locations, contributing to further drought intensification.

Elsewhere, showers that fell in the Nation’s mid-section often swept into the Northeast, maintaining soggy conditions in

the latter region. However, precipitation mostly bypassed some areas along the Canadian border, stretching as far east as

northern Minnesota, leaving a sharp gradient between that area and saturated sections of the Plains and Midwest just to

the south.

May Agricultural Summary

May was cooler than average for parts of California, the Corn Belt, Great Plains, New England, Rocky Mountains, and

Southwest with temperatures averaging 4°F or more below normal. However, temperatures were warmer in the

mid-Atlantic, Florida, southern Great Lakes, Mississippi Valley, and Pacific Northwest averaging 2°F or more above

normal in some areas. The United States was wetter than normal for the month of May. Parts of the Corn Belt, Delta, and

the Great Plains received more than 10 inches of rain during the month. However, the northern part of States along the

Canadian border, as well as parts of the Pacific Southwest, Pacific Northwest, and Southeast remained dry.

Crop Comments

Winter wheat: Production is forecast at 1.27 billion bushels, up less than 1 percent from the May 1 forecast and up

8 percent from 2018. As of June 1, the United States yield is forecast at 50.5 bushels per acre, up 0.2 bushel from last

month and up 2.6 bushels from last year’s average yield of 47.9 bushels per acre. As of June 2, sixty-four percent of the

winter wheat acreage in the 18 major producing States was rated in good to excellent condition, 27 percentage points

higher than at the same time last year. Nationally, 76 percent of the winter wheat crop was headed by June 2,

eight percentage points lower than the 5-year average pace. If realized, the 2019 United States winter wheat yield will be

the second highest on record.

Forecasted head counts from the objective yield survey in the six Hard Red Winter States (Colorado, Kansas, Montana,

Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas) are above last year’s level in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas but

below in Montana. As of June 2, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas winter wheat was rated 57 percent, 64 percent, and

64 percent, in good to excellent condition, respectively. In the Low Plains of Texas, harvest was underway. Conditions

were favorable in the Blacklands, South Central Texas, and the Edwards Plateau for harvest.

Forecasted head counts from the objective yield survey in the three Soft Red Winter States (Illinois, Missouri, and Ohio)

are below last year’s levels in Illinois and Ohio but above last year’s levels in Missouri. As of June 2, Illinois, Missouri,

and Ohio winter wheat was rated 75 percent, 84 percent, and 62 percent, in fair to good condition, respectively.

Forecasted head counts from the objective yield survey in Washington are below last year. As of June 2, Idaho, Oregon,

and Washington winter wheat was rated 71 percent, 63 percent, and 73 percent, in good to excellent condition,

respectively. Warmer conditions in some Washington counties, advanced the crop but put heat stress on wheat acreage.


Durum wheat: Production of Durum wheat in Arizona and California is forecast at a collective 7.97 million bushels,

down 2 percent from last month and down 25 percent from 2018. In Arizona, 33 percent of the acreage was harvested by

June 2, five percentage points ahead of last year and 12 percentage points ahead of the 5-year average.

Ninety-four percent of the Arizona acreage was in good to excellent condition on June 2, fifteen percentage points above

the same time last year.

Grapefruit: The United States 2018-2019 grapefruit crop is forecast at 604,000 tons, down slightly from last month but

up 17 percent from last season’s final utilization. In Florida, expected production, at 4.51 million boxes (192,000 tons), is

down 2 percent from last month but up 16 percent from last year. California and Texas grapefruit production forecasts

were carried forward from the previous month.

Tangerines and mandarins: The United States tangerine and mandarin crop is forecast at 927,000 tons, down slightly

from last month but up 15 percent from last season’s final utilization. The Florida forecast, at 990,000 boxes

(47,000 tons), is down 1 percent from last month but up 32 percent from the previous year. The California tangerine and

mandarin forecast was carried forward from the previous month.

Prunes (dried plums): California’s 2019 prune production is forecast at 110,000 dried tons, up 38 percent from last year.

Good growing conditions were reported, resulting in a successful bloom and a good fruit set.

Cherries, Tart: United States tart cherry production is forecast at 290 million pounds, down 18 percent from the

2018 production.

In Michigan, the largest tart cherry producing State, growers reported an average crop. Cooler than normal spring weather

conditions led to a delay in the crop. Utah growers reported an above average crop similar to the previous year. In

New York, growers reported an average crop and bloom. In Washington, growers reported warm spring weather

conditions and expect harvest to begin later than normal. In Wisconsin, cool and wet conditions led to a delay in the crop

this year.

Cherries, Sweet: United States sweet cherry production is forecast at 362,000 tons, up 13 percent from 2018.

In Washington and Oregon, warm spring conditions have been optimal for the crop. In California, growers reported

sufficient chill and precipitation leading to a good crop this season.

Sweet cherry estimates were discontinued in Michigan.

Maple syrup: The 2019 United States maple syrup production totaled 4.24 million gallons, up 1 percent from the revised

previous year. The number of taps totaled 13.3 million, down 4 percent from the 2018 total. Yield per tap was

0.318 gallon, up 0.015 gallon from the previous season.

The earliest sap flow reported was January 5 in New York. The latest sap flow reported to open the season was March 1 in

Wisconsin. On average, the season lasted 30 days, compared with 42 days in 2018. The 2018 United States average price

per gallon was $33.80, up $0.70 from 2017. Value of production, at $142 million for 2018, was down 2 percent from the

previous season.

Beginning in 2019, maple syrup estimates were discontinued for Connecticut, Indiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Ohio,

and West Virginia.


Statistical Methodology

Wheat survey procedures: Objective yield and farm operator surveys were conducted between May 25 and June 6 to

gather information on expected yield as of June 1. The objective yield survey was conducted in 10 States that accounted

for 70 percent of the 2018 winter wheat production. Farm operators were interviewed to update previously reported

acreage data and seek permission to randomly locate two sample plots in selected winter wheat fields. The counts made

within each sample plot depended upon the crop's maturity. Counts such as number of stalks, heads in late boot, and

number of emerged heads were made to predict the number of heads that will be harvested. 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 heads are clipped, threshed, 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 interview.

Approximately 3,400 producers were interviewed during the survey period and asked questions about the probable yield

on their operation. These growers will continue to be surveyed throughout the growing season to provide indications of

average yields.

Orange survey procedures: The orange objective yield survey for the June 1 forecast was conducted in Florida. In

August and September last year, the number of bearing trees and the number of fruit per tree was determined. In August

and subsequent months, fruit size measurement and fruit droppage surveys are conducted, which combined with the

previous components are used to develop the current forecast of production. California and Texas conduct grower surveys

on a quarterly basis in October, January, April, and July. California also conducts objective measurement surveys in

September for Navel oranges and in March for Valencia oranges.

Wheat 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 June 1 forecasts.

Orange estimating procedures: State level objective yield indications for Florida oranges were reviewed for errors,

reasonableness, and consistency with historical estimates. The Florida Field Office submits its analysis of the current

situation to the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). The ASB uses the Florida survey data and their analysis to prepare

the published June 1 forecast. The June 1 orange production forecasts for California and Texas are carried forward from

April.

Revision policy: The June 1 production forecast will not be revised; instead, a new forecast will be made each month

throughout the growing season. End-of-season wheat estimates are made after harvest. At the end of the wheat 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. End-of-season

orange estimates will be published in the Citrus Fruits Summary released in August. The orange production estimates are

based on all data available at the end of the marketing season, including information from marketing orders, shipments,

and processor records. Allowances are made for recorded local utilization and home use.

Reliability: To assist users in evaluating the reliability of the June 1 production forecast, the “Root Mean Square Error,” a

statistical measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviation between the June 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.


The “Root Mean Square Error” for the June 1 winter wheat production forecast is 4.8 percent. This means that chances are

2 out of 3 that the current winter wheat production will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 4.8 percent.

Chances are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 8.3 percent. Differences between

the June 1 winter wheat production forecast and the final estimate during the past 20 years have averaged 59 million

bushels, ranging from 4 million to 166 million bushels. The June 1 forecast has been below the final estimate 10 times and

above 10 times. This does not imply that the June 1 winter wheat forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final

production.

The “Root Mean Square Error” for the June 1 orange production forecast is 1.7 percent. However, if you exclude the four

abnormal production seasons (one freeze season and three hurricane seasons), the “Root Mean Square Error” is

1.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out of 3 that the current orange production forecast will not be above or below

the final estimates by more than 1.7 percent, or 1.9 percent when excluding abnormal seasons. Chances are 9 out of

10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 2.9 percent, or 3.2 percent when excluding abnormal

seasons.

Changes between the June 1 orange forecast and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 104,000 tons

(120,000 tons, excluding abnormal seasons), ranging from 5,000 tons to 272,000 tons (23,000 tons to 272,000 tons

excluding abnormal seasons). The June 1 forecast for oranges has been below the final estimate 10 times and above

10 times (below 6 times and above 10 times, excluding abnormal seasons). The difference does not imply that the

June 1 forecast this year is likely to understate or overstate final production.
