Crop Progress and Condition Survey and Estimating Procedures
Survey Procedures: Crop progress and condition estimates are based
on survey data collected each week from early April through the end
of November. The non-probability crop progress and condition
surveys include input from more than 5,000 reporters whose
occupations provide them opportunities to make visual observations
and frequently bring them in contact with farmers in their
counties. Based on standard definitions, these reporters
subjectively estimate progress of farmers' activities and progress
of crops through various stages of development. They also provide
subjective evaluations of crop conditions.
Most reporters complete their questionnaires on Friday or early
Monday morning and submit them to the National Agricultural
Statistics Service (NASS) Field Offices in their States by mail,
telephone, fax, e-mail, or through a secured internet website. A
small number of reports are completed on Thursday, Saturday, and
Sunday. Regardless of when questionnaires are completed, reporters
are asked to report for the week ending on Sunday. For reports
submitted prior to the Sunday reference date, a degree of
uncertainty is introduced by projections for weekend changes in
progress and condition. By the end of the 2001 season, nearly
two-thirds of the data were being submitted through the internet
website. As a result, about one-half of all data are submitted on
Monday morning, significantly reducing projection uncertainty.
Reporters are sent written reporting instructions at the beginning
of each season and are contacted periodically to ensure proper
reporting. Terms and definitions of crop stages and condition
categories used as reporting guidelines are available on the NASS
website at:
www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/National_Crop_Progress/terms_definit
ions.asp.
Estimating Procedures: Reported data are reviewed for
reasonableness and consistency by comparing with data reported the
previous week and data reported in surrounding counties for the
current week. Each State Field Office summarizes the reported data
to district and State levels, weighting each county's reported data
by NASS county acreage estimates. Summarized indications are
compared with previous week estimates, and progress items are
compared with earlier stages of development and historical averages
to ensure reasonableness. Weather events and reporter comments are
also taken into consideration. State estimates are submitted to
the Agricultural Statistics Board (ASB) along with supporting
comments, where they are compared with surrounding States and
compiled into a National level summary by weighting each State by
its acreage estimates.
Revision Policy: Progress and condition estimates in the Crop
Progress report are released after 4:00 pm ET on the first
business day of the week. These estimates are preliminary and
subject to corrections or updates in the Weekly Weather and Crop
Bulletin that is released after 12:00 pm ET on the second business
day of the week. These estimates are subject to revision the
following week.
Crop Progress and Condition tables expected next week:
Cotton - Harvested
Peanuts - Harvested
Winter Wheat - Emerged, Condition
