Agriculture (USDA).
Corn Planted Acreage Down 4 Percent from 2013 Soybean Acreage Up 6 Percent All Wheat Acreage Down 1 Percent All Cotton Acreage Up 7 Percent
Corn planted area for all purposes in 2014 is estimated at 91.7 million acres, down 4 percent from last year. If realized,
this will represent the lowest planted acreage in the United States since 2010; however, this will represent the fifth largest
corn acreage in the United States since 1944.
Soybean planted area for 2014 is estimated at a record high 81.5 million acres, up 6 percent from last year. Compared
with last year, planted acreage intentions are up or unchanged across all States with the exception of Missouri and
Oklahoma.
All wheat planted area for 2014 is estimated at 55.8 million acres, down 1 percent from 2013. The 2014 winter wheat
planted area, at 42.0 million acres, is down 3 percent from last year but up slightly from the previous estimate. Of this
total, about 30.2 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 8.43 million acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.35 million acres are
White Winter. Area planted to other spring wheat for 2014 is expected to total 12.0 million acres, up 4 percent from 2013.
Of this total, about 11.3 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. The intended Durum planted area for 2014 is estimated
at 1.80 million acres, up 22 percent from the previous year.
All cotton planted area for 2014 is expected to total 11.1 million acres, 7 percent above last year. Upland area is expected
to total 10.9 million acres, up 7 percent from 2013. American Pima area is expected to total 158,000 acres, down
21 percent from 2013.

Winter Weather Summary
Highlights: The coldest winter since 1978-79 gripped Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin, while
Michigan endured its coldest winter since 1976-77. The Midwest experienced not only bitter cold, but also abundant
snowfall, which resulted in travel disruptions and stressful conditions for livestock.
Meanwhile, drought persisted or intensified from California to the southern Plains under a mild, mostly dry weather
regime. Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas endured near-record winter dryness. California, nearing the end of a third
consecutive year of drought, noted its warmest, third-driest winter on record. Previously, California’s warmest winter had
occurred in 1980-81, while the only drier winters had been 1976-77 and 1990-91. Ironically, California’s warm winter
began with a December freeze that harmed crops, including citrus, in the Central Valley.
Between the extremes, the Plains were subjected to frequent and rapid temperature changes. Abundant precipitation,
mostly snow, fell across the northern Plains, but generally dry, breezy conditions—along with the frequent lack of
protective snow—led to declines in winter wheat condition across the central and southern Plains.
Elsewhere, the South and East endured periodic bouts of wintry weather and extreme cold, although conditions were not
as chronically harsh as those observed in the Midwest. In addition, winter agricultural areas of Texas and Florida escaped
without a significant freeze.
Historical Perspective: According to preliminary data provided by the National Climatic Data Center, winter featured
regionally contrasting temperatures and mostly drier-than-normal conditions. The Nation’s average December-February
temperature of 31.3°F was 1.0°F below the 20th century mean, while the average precipitation of 5.69 inches was
84 percent of normal—marking the 34th-coldest, ninth-driest winter since 1895. The last drier winter occurred in 1980-81.
State temperature rankings were impressive, ranging from the warmest winter on record in California to the fifth-coldest
winter in Wisconsin. Arizona experienced its third-warmest winter, while top-ten rankings for winter coldness were also
noted in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, and Minnesota. Meanwhile, State precipitation rankings ranged from
the third-driest winter in Arizona, California, and New Mexico, to the 18th-wettest winter in Delaware and West Virginia.
December: Winter got off to an early start across much of the Nation, with very cold air settling into the western and
central United States and snow covering more than half of the country for several days.
December storminess was widespread, except in the West, where a potential third consecutive winter of drought got
underway in California and the Great Basin. In addition, an early-season cold wave gripped much of the West during the
first half of the month, harming citrus in California’s San Joaquin Valley and sending temperatures plummeting below
negative 40°F at a few locations in Montana.
Meanwhile, several impressive storms affected the East, where multiple rain and snow events chipped away at autumn
precipitation deficits. At times, snow also blanketed portions of the Plains and Midwest, with winter’s chill deepening in
those regions as the month progressed. By the end of December, temperatures across the upper Great Lakes region rivaled
those observed in the West a few weeks earlier.
However, the Southeast was spared from the cold weather, with temperatures regularly topping 80°F and remaining
unusually high through month’s end. In fact, several Southeastern locations set or tied monthly records for December
warmth.
Elsewhere, most of the Nation’s winter wheat moved into its period of dormancy with few concerns. On the Great Plains,
well over half of the wheat was rated in good to excellent condition at the end of December in States such as South
Dakota (70 percent good to excellent), Nebraska (65 percent), Oklahoma (63 percent), Montana (60 percent), and Kansas
(58 percent). However, drought concerns persisted on the southern High Plains, including Texas’ northern panhandle.
January: California’s drought worsened, despite some late-month rain and snow. For much of the month, the West,
particularly California, endured warm, dry conditions. As a result, California, the Great Basin, and parts of the Southwest
Prospective Plantings (March 2014) 29 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
faced nearly insurmountable odds of overcoming huge season-to-date precipitation deficits by the end of winter—and the
likelihood of completing a third consecutive dry winter. In addition to California’s impending water-supply issues,
drought impacts included poor rangeland conditions, severe stress on rain-fed winter grains, and depleted soil moisture
reserves.
In stark contrast, colder-than-normal conditions accompanied occasional winter storms across the eastern half of the
Nation. Several periods of bitterly cold weather gripped the Midwest, South, and East, resulting in the lowest temperatures
in a decade or more. Frigid conditions were especially persistent across the upper Midwest, maintaining stress on
livestock in the wake of a cold December. An early-month blizzard in parts of the Midwest and a late-month snow and ice
event across the Deep South were among several notable storms.
Between the Western warmth and Eastern chill, sharp temperature fluctuations affected the Plains. In addition, January
precipitation was scarce across the Nation’s mid-section, leaving winter wheat exposed at times to bitterly cold
conditions. Specifically, wheat in parts of Nebraska was not insulated by snow when temperatures plunged below 0°F on
January 6, 23, and 27-28. As a result of unfavorable weather, wheat conditions declined during January. For example, the
portion of the wheat rated good to excellent fell from 70 to 60 percent in South Dakota; 65 to 46 percent in Nebraska;
60 to 46 percent in Montana; 63 to 36 percent in Oklahoma; and 58 to 35 percent in Kansas. Texas wheat, already stressed
by drought, was rated 19 percent good to excellent and 41 percent very poor to poor by month’s end.
February: California experienced an unusual February, with record-setting warmth occurring between early- and late-
month storminess. The rain and snow, while significant, failed to appreciably dent California’s 3-year drought. However,
the precipitation aided drought-stressed rangeland, pastures, and winter grains, and temporarily eased irrigation
requirements. At month’s end, beneficial precipitation also overspread other drought-affected areas, including the Great
Basin and parts of the Southwest. Meanwhile, a sustained stretch of stormy weather improved water-supply prospects in
the Northwest.
Farther east, snowy conditions on the northern High Plains contrasted with drier-than-normal weather on the southern
Plains. During February, the Plains’ winter wheat condition remained steady or declined due to a combination of drought,
temperature extremes, occasional high winds, and exposure to bitter cold without the benefit of a protective snow cover.
By month’s end, 46 percent of the wheat was rated in very poor to poor condition in Texas, along with 31 percent in
Oklahoma, 22 percent in Kansas, and 18 percent in Nebraska.
Meanwhile in the Corn Belt, bitterly cold, often snowy weather hampered rural travel and maintained stress on winter-
weary livestock. Many individual station records for seasonal snowfall and days with sub-zero temperatures were
approached, tied, or broken, especially in the Great Lakes States, as Midwestern communities experienced their harshest
winter since at least the 1970s.
Elsewhere, much of the South and East were also exposed to periodic bouts of wintry weather and frigid conditions.
However, winter agricultural regions of Deep South Texas and peninsular Florida continued to escape without a
significant freeze.
Crop Comments
Corn: Growers intend to plant 91.7 million acres of corn for all purposes in 2014, down 4 percent from last year and
down 6 percent from 2012. If realized, this will represent the lowest planted acreage in the United States since 2010;
however, this will represent the fifth largest corn acreage in the United States since 1944. Expected returns for corn are
anticipated to be lower in 2014 compared with recent years.
Colorado, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, and Utah are expected to increase planted acreage from last year.
If realized, planted acres in Idaho would be a record high.
Sorghum: Growers intend to plant 6.68 million acres of sorghum for all purposes in 2014, down 17 percent from last
year. Kansas and Texas, the leading sorghum producing States, account for 75 percent of the expected United States
30 Prospective Plantings (March 2014) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
acreage. As of March 23, Texas growers had planted 15 percent of their crop, 17 percentage points behind last year and
16 percentage points behind the 5-year average.
Oats: Area seeded to oats for the 2014 crop year is expected to total 2.79 million acres, down 7 percent from 2013. If
realized, this will be the third lowest United States total on record. Record low acreage is expected in California, Georgia,
Maine, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wyoming.
Barley: Producers intend to seed 3.17 million acres of barley for the 2014 crop year, down 9 percent from the previous
year. If realized, this will be the third smallest seeded area on record. Record low acreage is expected in Michigan.
Winter wheat: The 2014 winter wheat planted area is estimated at 42.0 million acres, down 3 percent from 2013 but up
slightly from the Winter Wheat Seedings report. States with notable acreage increases from the previous estimate were
Kansas, North Dakota, and Tennessee. Of the total acreage, about 30.2 million acres are Hard Red Winter, 8.43 million
acres are Soft Red Winter, and 3.35 million acres are White Winter. Record high acreage was planted in North Dakota.
During the winter months, winter wheat conditions declined in the Great Plains due to adverse weather conditions and
exposure to bitter cold due to lack of snow cover in some areas.
Durum wheat: Area seeded to Durum wheat for 2014 is expected to total 1.80 million acres, up 22 percent from 2013.
Large planted acreage increases are expected in Montana and North Dakota. If realized, planted acres will be a record low
in South Dakota.
Other spring wheat: Growers intend to plant 12.0 million acres in 2014, up 4 percent from 2013. Of the total, about
11.3 million acres are Hard Red Spring wheat. The largest acreage increases from the previous year are expected in
North Dakota and Washington. If realized, planted acres will be a record low in Colorado.
Rice: Area planted to rice in 2014 is expected to total 2.88 million acres, up 16 percent from 2013. Lower prices for
competing commodities is contributing to the expected increase in rice acres compared with last year. The expected acres
planted to long grain rice in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Missouri account for the increase in both long grain and all rice
planted acres. With California experiencing a severe drought, medium and short grain acres are expected to decline by
18 and 44 percent, respectively from 2013. The expected increase in medium grain acres in Arkansas is helping to offset
some of the expected acreage decline in California.
Hay: Producers intend to harvest 58.3 million acres of all hay in 2014, up slightly from 2013. Hay acreage is expected to
decrease across the northern and central Great Plains and the Great Lakes regions. Record high acreage is expected in
Florida, Oklahoma, and Texas. Record low acreage is expected in Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, and New Hampshire.
Soybean planted area for 2014 is estimated at a record high 81.5 million acres, up 6 percent from last year. Compared
with last year, planted acreage intentions are up or unchanged across all States with the exception of Missouri and
Oklahoma. The largest increase is expected in North Dakota where farmers intend to plant a record high 5.65 million
acres, an increase of one million acres from 2013. Compared with last year, large increases in planted area are also
expected in Minnesota and Nebraska. If realized, the planted area in Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, South Dakota,
and Wisconsin will also be the largest on record.
Peanuts: Growers intend to plant 1.38 million acres in 2014, up 29 percent from the previous year. The expected increase
in planted area is mainly due to lower corn and soybean prices. Last year growers decreased peanut acres in many States
due to larger supplies and strong grain prices. In Georgia, the largest peanut-producing State, expected planted area is up
53 percent from 2013.
Sunflower: Growers intend to plant a total of 1.59 million acres in 2014, up 1 percent from last year. Despite the small
increase, planted area for the Nation will be the third lowest since 1976, if realized. Area intended for oil type varieties, at
1.27 million acres, is down 1 percent from 2013 and will be the lowest planted area since 1976, if realized. The area
intended for non-oil varieties, estimated at 325,000 acres, is up 10 percent from last year.
Prospective Plantings (March 2014) 31 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Canola: Producers intend to plant 1.74 million acres in 2014, up 29 percent from 2013. If realized, planted area in the
United States will be the second largest on record. Compared with last year, planted area is expected to increase in four of
the seven major canola-producing States, with acreage in North Dakota, Oklahoma, and Washington expected to increase
more than 20 percent from the previous year. Producers in North Dakota, the leading canola-producing State, intend to
plant 1.27 million acres, up 350,000 acres from last year.
Flaxseed: Producers intend to plant 326,000 acres of flaxseed in 2014, up 145,000 acres or 80 percent more than was
planted in 2013. Acreage in North Dakota, the largest flaxseed-producing State, is up 100 percent, or 150,000 acres from
2013. Growers in that State were unable to plant all of their intended acreage last year due to unfavorable spring planting
conditions.
Cotton: Growers intend to plant 11.1 million acres in 2014, up 7 percent from last year. Upland area is expected to total
10.9 million acres, up 7 percent from 2013. American Pima area is expected to total 158,000 acres, down 21 percent from
2013. As of March 23, cotton planting in Texas was 3 percent complete, identical to the same time last year but
1 percentage point behind the 5-year average.
Sugarbeets: Area planted to sugarbeets for the 2014 crop year is estimated at 1.15 million acres, down 4 percent from last
year. Planted area is below the previous year in four of the ten estimating States.
Tobacco: United States all tobacco area for harvest in 2014 is estimated at 361,900 acres, up 2 percent from 2013. All
tobacco varieties expect increases in area harvested.
Flue-cured tobacco, at 232,300 acres, is 2 percent above 2013. Flue-cured tobacco accounts for 64 percent of this year’s
total tobacco acreage. Total light air-cured tobacco type area, at 102,100 acres, is 1 percent above 2013. Burley tobacco, at
100,100 acres, is 1 percent above last year.
Fire-cured tobacco, at 16,780 acres, is up 3 percent from 2013. Dark air-cured tobacco, at 5,400 acres, is 4 percent above
last year. All cigar type tobacco harvested area, at 5,320 acres, is 20 percent above last year. Cigar filler is up 11 percent
from last year.
Spring potatoes: Planted area for spring potatoes is estimated at 75,500 acres for the 2014 season, down slightly from
2013.
In Florida, growers have been impacted by wet field conditions that delayed plantings and forced growers to replant
acreage in some areas. Spring potato planting was complete throughout the State of California and the crop was reportedly
in good condition.
Sweet potatoes: Planted area of sweet potatoes is estimated at 126,300 acres, up 9 percent from the previous year.
In Arkansas and New Jersey, field preparations have been sporadic due to weather conditions. Growers in California
began planting sweet potatoes but water availability remains a concern.
Dry beans: Growers intend to plant 1.69 million acres in 2014, up 24 percent from last year. Expected area planted for all
chickpeas is 217,800 acres, up 1 percent from last season. Small chickpea area, at 69,400 acres, is 54 percent higher than
2013. Large chickpea area, at 148,400 acres, is expected to be 13 percent below last year.
Planted area is expected to be higher than last year in 12 of the 18 States in the dry bean estimating program. In
North Dakota, the largest producing State, planted area is expected to increase by 180,000 acres, or 41 percent from a year
ago.
Lentils: Area planted for the 2014 crop year is expected to total 320,000 acres, down 12 percent from 2013. Prospective
plantings are down in all four estimating program States. Montana’s anticipated area is down 14 percent from 2013, while
North Dakota growers expect to plant 7 percent fewer acres than a year ago.
32 Prospective Plantings (March 2014) USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Dry edible peas: Area planted for the 2014 crop year is expected to total 921,000 acres, up 7 percent from 2013.
Prospective plantings are up in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington, while North Dakota growers expect planted area
to decrease 12 percent from a year ago.
Austrian winter peas: Planted area is estimated at 28,500 acres, up 58 percent from 2013. Growers in Idaho and
Montana intend to plant more acres this season, while Oregon farmers anticipate lower plantings from a year ago.
Prospective Plantings (March 2014) 33 USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service
Statistical Methodology Survey Procedures: The acreage estimates in this report are based primarily on surveys conducted during the first two
weeks of March. The March Agricultural Survey is a probability survey that includes a sample of over 84,000 farm
operators selected from a list of producers that ensures all operations in the United States have a chance to be selected.
These operators were contacted by mail, internet, telephone, or personal interview to obtain information on crop acreage
planned for the 2014 crop year.
Estimating Procedures: National, Regional, State, and grower reported data were reviewed for reasonableness and
consistency with historical estimates. Each Regional Field Office submits their analysis of the current situation to the
Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB). Survey data are compiled to the National level and are reviewed at this level
independently of each State's review. Acreage estimates were based on survey data and the historical relationship of
official estimates to the survey data.
Revision Policy: Acreage estimates in the Prospective Plantings report will not be revised. These estimates are intended
to reflect grower intentions as of the survey period. New acreage estimates will be made based on surveys conducted in
June when crop acreages have been established or planting intentions are firm. These new estimates will be published in
the Acreage report scheduled for June 30, 2014. Winter wheat is an exception. Since winter wheat was seeded prior to the
March survey, any changes in estimates in this report are considered revisions. The estimate of the harvested acreage of
winter wheat will be published on May 9, 2014, along with the first production forecast of the crop year.
Reliability: The survey used to make acreage estimates is subject to sampling and non sampling errors that are common
to all surveys. Sampling errors represent the variability between estimates that would result if many different samples
were surveyed at the same time. Sampling errors for major crops are generally between 1.0 and 3.0 percent, but they
cannot be applied directly to the acreage published in this report to determine confidence intervals because the official
estimates represent a composite of information from more than a single source.
Non sampling errors cannot be measured directly. They may occur due to incorrect reporting and/or recording, data
omissions or duplications, and errors in processing. To minimize non sampling errors, vigorous quality controls are used
in the data collection process and all data are carefully reviewed for consistency and reasonableness.
To assist users in evaluating the reliability of acreage estimates in this report, the "Root Mean Square Error," a statistical
measure based on past performance, is computed. The deviations between the acreage estimates in this report and the final
estimates are expressed as a percentage of the final estimates. The average of 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 estimates relative to the final end of
season estimates, assuming that factors affecting this year's estimates are not different from those influencing recent years.
For example, the "Root Mean Square Error" for the corn planted estimate is 1.9 percent. This means that chances are 2 out
of 3 that the current corn acreage estimate will not be above or below the final estimate by more than 1.9 percent. Chances
are 9 out of 10 (90 percent confidence level) that the difference will not exceed 3.2 percent.
Also, shown in the following table is a 20 year record for selected crops of the difference between the Prospective
Plantings planted acreage estimates and the final estimates. Using corn again as an example, changes between the
intentions estimates and the final estimates during the past 20 years have averaged 1.13 million acres, ranging from
32,000 acres to 3.84 million acres. The prospective plantings estimates have been below the final estimate 8 times and
above 12 times. This does not imply that the planted estimate this year is likely to understate or overstate the final
estimate.
