All wheat: Production totaled 2.22 billion bushels in 2009, up 2 percent from the August forecast but down
11 percent from 2008. Grain area is 50.1 million acres, down 10 percent from last year. The U.S. yield is
44.4 bushels per acre, down 0.5 bushel from last year. The levels of production and changes from last year by
type are: winter wheat, 1.52 billion bushels, down 18 percent; other spring wheat, 588 million bushels, up
7 percent; Durum wheat, 110 million bushels, up 31 percent.
Oat production is estimated at 93.3 million bushels, 1 percent above the August forecast and up 5 percent from
last year’s record low production. Yield is estimated at a record high 67.6 bushels per acre, up 3.1 bushels from
the last forecast and up 3.9 bushels from the previous year. Compared with last year, yields increased for most
States in the western third of the country and for several Appalachian States. Harvested area, at 1.38 million
acres, is 3 percent below August and 2 percent below last year. This is the smallest acreage harvested for grain on
record, continuing a steady downward trend.
Barley production is estimated at 227 million bushels, 10 percent above the August forecast but 5 percent below
2008. Average yield per acre, at 72.8 bushels, is up 7.0 bushels from August and 9.2 bushels from last year and is
the highest yield on record since estimates began in 1866. Producers seeded 3.57 million acres for 2009, down
2 percent from June and down 16 percent from last year. This is the second lowest planted acreage on record.
Harvested area, at 3.12 million acres, is down slightly from August and 17 percent from 2008.

Wheat: Class Percentage Estimates
The following percentages are the basis for the U.S. wheat production by class estimates each year. These
estimates are based on the latest varietal or class survey data available. These end-of-season percentages will be
used during the 2009 forecast season. However, if an unusual situation significantly distorts a State’s usual
distribution, then updated percentages will be used to forecast the production by class. (Note: The Idaho, Oregon,
and Washington percentages are based on their estimates of production by class).

Small Grains 2009 Summary Agricultural Statistics Board
September 2009 20 NASS, USDA
Crop Comments
Oats: The 2009 production is estimated at 93.3 million bushels, up 5 percent from last year’s record low production.
A record high yield is estimated at 67.6 bushels per acre, up 3.9 bushels from the previous year. Area planted to oats is
estimated at 3.40 million acres, up 5 percent from the record low set in 2008. This is the second lowest planted acreage
on record. Harvested area is estimated at a record low 1.38 million acres, 2 percent below last year. The largest decline
occurred in Texas, where area harvested for grain decreased 40,000 acres from last year.
In California, favorable growing conditions led to a 25 bushel increase in yield from last year and set a record high
yield for the State. In North Dakota and Wyoming, producers reported large increases of 18 bushels and 14 bushels per
acre, respectively, while in Georgia, average yield declined 13 bushels from last year.
During early spring, planting of the oat crop lagged behind the normal pace. By April 26, growers had planted
61 percent of the acreage, 4 points behind normal. During April, emergence also trailed behind the normal pace. By
the end of April, emergence was 37 percent complete, 3 points behind the 5-year average. As of May 24, the crop had
advanced to 95 percent planted and 82 percent emerged, 3 and 7 points behind the normal pace, respectively. Through
June, crop development was behind normal in most major oat-producing States. As of June 28, sixty-eight percent of
the oat acreage was headed, 6 points behind the 5-year average. The crop was most advanced in Texas and Ohio, where
100 percent and 90 percent, respectively, was at or beyond the heading stage. Crop development was particularly
behind normal in North Dakota with none of their crop having reached the heading stage, 32 points behind the 5-year
average.
By August 2, thirty-one percent of the oat acreage was harvested, 20 points behind the normal pace. Harvest in Texas
was complete with Nebraska following behind at 71 percent. In North Dakota, harvest had not yet begun and was
20 points behind normal. By August 30, harvest was 85 percent complete in the major producing States, 11 points
behind the 5-year average. Harvest progress was the furthest behind in North Dakota and Minnesota, 44 and 21 points
behind the 5-year average, respectively.
Barley: Production is estimated at 227 million bushels, 10 percent above the August forecast but 5 percent below
2008. Average yield per acre, at 72.8 bushels, is up 7.0 bushels from August and 9.2 bushels from last year and is the
highest yield on record since estimates began in 1866. Producers seeded 3.57 million acres for 2009, down 2 percent
from June and down 16 percent from last year. This is the second lowest planted acreage on record. Harvested area, at
3.12 million acres, is down slightly from August and 17 percent from 2008. Barley seedings decreased in 2 of the top
3 producing States. Producers in North Dakota seeded 1.21 million acres and harvested 1.14 million acres, down
27 and 26 percent from the previous year, respectively, while producers in Idaho seeded 530,000 acres and harvested
510,000 acres, both down 12 percent from 2008. In Montana, seeded area increased 10,000 acres from 2008, while
harvested area decreased 20,000 acres. Minnesota, Oregon, and South Dakota producers set new record lows for
seeded acreage, with previous records set in 2006 for all 3 States.
Soggy field conditions in April and early May hampered barley seeding and pushed National progress to almost
2 weeks behind normal. Drier fields toward the end of May allowed producers in North Dakota to seed large portions
of their barley crop, but overall progress remained slow. As a result, crop emergence started slowly and remained
behind the average pace throughout June. Harvest was underway in the 5 major barley-producing States by August 9,
but the pace was 28 percentage points behind normal. Crop conditions remained better than last year throughout the
growing season. On August 30, as harvest approached the halfway point, 78 percent of the crop was rated in good to
excellent condition.
Winter Wheat: The 2009 winter wheat production totaled 1.52 billion bushels, down 1 percent from the August
forecast and 18 percent below last year. The U.S. yield is 44.2 bushels per acre, unchanged from the August forecast
but down 2.9 bushels from the previous year. Area harvested for grain is estimated at 34.5 million acres, down
1 percent from the last forecast and down 13 percent from the previous year.
Planted acres were up slightly from 2008 in the Hard Red Winter growing region. Harvested acres were down from last
year in most of the major growing States. Adverse weather conditions in Oklahoma and Texas resulted in a decrease in
harvested acres from last year. Abandoned acres in Texas are the third highest on record. Yields increased from last
year in Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska. Nebraska’s yield of 48.0 bushels per acre is tied for a record high yield.
Yields in Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas decreased from 2008. Production increased from 2008 in Colorado, Kansas,
and Nebraska while production fell in Montana, Oklahoma, and Texas. Overall, Hard Red Winter production totaled
919 million bushels, down 11 percent from 2008.

Planted and harvested acres decreased across all of the Soft Red Winter growing area. Yields were down from 2008 in
Illinois and Missouri but up in Ohio. Production was down from last year in all of the Soft Red Winter growing States.
Production was down 38 percent in both Illinois and Missouri but down only 5 percent in Ohio. Overall, Soft Red
Winter production is 404 million bushels, down 34 percent from last year when 614 million bushels were produced.
White Winter production is 200 million bushels, down 9 percent from last year. Harvested acreage in the Pacific
Northwest States (Idaho, Oregon, and Washington) is below last year’s level. Yields were up from last year in Idaho
and Washington but down in Oregon.
Other Spring Wheat: Production for 2009 is estimated at 587 million bushels, up 7 percent from the August forecast
and 2008. Harvested area is 13.1 million acres, 1 percent below the August forecast and down 3 percent from last year.
The U.S. yield is a record high 45.0 bushels per acre, 4.5 bushels higher than last year and 1.8 bushels higher than the
previous record set in 2004. Yields are above last year’s level in all States except Minnesota, South Dakota, and Utah.
North Dakota’s yield of 45.5 bushels per acre is also a record high, 3.5 bushels higher than the previous record set in
1992.
A cool, wet spring delayed planting in many of the major spring wheat-producing States. The growing season was
marked by below normal temperatures and adequate moisture. Crop maturation continued behind normal throughout
the growing season. As a result, harvest progress lagged behind the normal in most States in the growing area. As of
September 20, only 85 percent of the crop had been harvested, 11 points behind the 5-year average.
Durum Wheat: Production for 2009 is estimated at 110 million bushels, up 12 percent from the August forecast and
31 percent higher than 2008. Grain area harvested is 2.52 million acres, up 3 percent from August but down 2 percent
from the previous year. The U.S. yield is a record high 43.7 bushels per acre, 11.1 bushels higher than last year and
4.0 bushels higher than the previous record set in 1992. Yields are above last year’s level in all States except
California. North Dakota’s yield of 38.0 bushels per acre ties a record high set in 1992. As of September 20, harvest
progress in Montana and North Dakota was behind normal, trailing the 5-year average by 8 and 18 percent,
respectively.
Rye: Production for 2009 is estimated at 6.99 million bushels, down 12 percent from last year. Harvested area totaled
252,000 acres, down 17,000 acres from 2008. The U.S. yield, at 27.8 bushels per acre, is down 1.9 bushels from last
year. Oklahoma’s harvested acres and yield are down from 2008 due to freeze and drought.
