Dataset: This is the acres of a given crop harvested. This category includes land from which crops were harvested or hay was cut, and land in orchards, citrus groves, vineyards, nurseries, and greenhouses. The crop types and use categories are more detailed for harvested crops than for planted crops.
Data on crop production are from two surveys conducted by the National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS). Acreage planted and to be harvested is from the June Agricultural Survey, which is the largest single survey NASS conducts each year. During the first 2 weeks in June, about 2,400 interviewers contact over 125,000 farmers, either by telephone or in person, to obtain information on crop acreages, grain stocks, and livestock inventories. These producers are asked to report the acreage, by crop, that has either been planted or that they intend to plant, and the
acreage they expect to harvest as grain. A subsample of farmers who respond to the list portion of the June Agricultural Survey is selected to
provide monthly crop yield projections. This provides a way to screen farmers so that only those currently growing the commodities of interest are contacted during the monthly surveys. This subsample ...
